In the new generation of the 21st century, we are experiencing rapid changes in the world, and now, for connectivity, it is the most important thing that is defining our present and our future; Every day technology advances fast, but civilization does not advance at the same time that we would like.

But there are still people who are looking for a real change, since we find a way to change ourselves, then help others to change and we are willing to give our lives for the knowledge that will help us to conceive a better way of life for the world In which we live.

Now, every time you think about: if what you are really creating will have a transcendental impact on your environment, remember that it is a perfect dream that is worth making.

The price of dreams, they are a high price that we must pay.

The photo above is the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70), I was station onboard from 1994-1998.

I am a Veteran of the US Navy. I spent 6 years in service. I was an Aviation Electronics Technician.

I was station in Sasebo Japan for my first 2 years in service about the USS Belleau Wood (LHA-3), we carried Marines from ship to shore.

I repaired the aircraft onboard both ships. I also lead teams of both men and women in the repair of those aircraft as well as in Damage Control and Fire Fighting. Two things we all will need to know onboard any Space Platform.

I did see combat on shore and at sea (well I sent my aircraft and marines out to combat). While on Shore I have engaged the enemy of my nation. I make no apologies for that.

I'm currently a Veteran and still serve my fellow Veterans and Community at large, with the American Legion. A Veterans services organization. I'm a First Vice Commander with a local Post and work on membership activities and helping out Veterans and families. I'm a very service oriented person.

Who controls your ‘ force feedback ’?

Who or what do you allow to touch your life?

Viru Sahastrabudhhe aka Virus: ‘Life begins with murder.  If you don't compete, you will die.’ (1)

The above dialogue comes from the movie called ‘ Three idiots’ , released on 25th December 2009. It is the ‘Highest grossing Bollywood movie of all time.’

It is loosely based on the novel by Chetan Bhagat ‘Five Point Someone’. (2)

During my first blog, I wrote about the qualities of leadership. One of the essential points of good leadership is ‘360-degree feedback’. Literally, feeding back into the system what came out the other way, upholding a mirror.

It made me think of ‘the self’. The whole reason for feedback is to better oneself or a system or relationships, work output, quality etc.

My mind turned back to Vienna, Austria - 2015. I was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room and picked up a magazine. It had a cartoon picture inside, making fun of the ‘selfie stick’ . The writer called it ‘the ego scepter’.

There is a book ‘ Dedicated to the Soul/Sole Good of Humanity, By Maria Paige Vosacek’ in which she says; ‘’ The Scepter is Eternal God-Substance Supreme Intelligence, Unsullied Foundation that is the Living, Eternal Fabric of ‘ ’All-Good’ ’. This Sacred Silver Cord is the Sharp-Edged-Sword that dissolves the will of illusions that chains the ego to its own finite folly .’’ (3)

In the movie ’Three idiots’ the professor in a key role, dislikes feedback of any kind and leads a very ‘ transactional’ life and is simply speaking - at war - with ‘transformational thinking’ of any kind. He ends up in a war of words, seeking a traditional answer from the character ‘Rancho’. Rancho’s single problem starts off, being picked out, because he is smiling and looks too happy, in class. He discovers he is just allowed to reply or answer in a very robotic, certain format. This does not excuse, some of his other vile behaviors though.

He challenges the professor by speaking ' the speak' - the transactional, ego - sceptered finite way in which the professor requires his communication :

‘’Rancho: Instruments that record, analyze, summarize, organize, debate. and explain information which are illustrative, non-illustrative, hardbound, paperback, jacketed, non-jacketed, with forward introduction, table of contents, index that are intended for the enlightenment, understanding, enrichment, enhancement, and education of the human brain, through sensory root of vision... Sometimes touch. ’’ (1)

The professor asked him, w hat he had, meant by that ? It turns out that Rancho was giving him the definition of a 'book’, translated into ‘ego scepter - engineering speak’ . The professor could just not decode his speech as intelligible or relevant .

The filters through which people filter feedback are really sullied in most of us, by ‘ the will of illusions that chains the ego to its own finite folly’.

We are segregated from others or intimately related to others by the kind of gems we choose to collect. The gems we collect, be they friends or ideas or way of life, determines in which scepter we invest.

‘’The Infinity Gems , originally referred to as Soul Gems , are six immensely powerful fictional gems appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Whoever holds all six gems and uses them in concert, such as in the Infinity Gauntlet , gains virtual omnipotence and omniscience. The six primary gems are the Mind Gem , the Soul Gem , the Space Gem , the Power Gem , the Time Gem and the Reality Gem , and in later storylines, crossovers and other media, a seventh Infinity Gem is sometimes added . The Gems play a prominent role in the first three phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where they are known as the Infinity Stones .’’ (4)

‘’The Ego Gem contains the consciousness of the cosmic entity Nemesis, which when united with the other gems reforms the character . This gem is found in the Ultraverse when the Asgardian god Loki attempts to steal the other gems. It has never been seen outside its initial appearance except for the Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet video game and The Super Hero Squad Show where it is re-imagined as the Infinity Sword.’’ (4)

‘’In the Marvel Super Hero Squad universe and related media, a seventh "Rhythm Gem" exists. The acquisition of the Infinity Gems is the main focus of The Super Hero Squad Show' s second season as well as the Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet video game. The Rhythm Gem was revealed to be a ploy made by Loki .’ (4)

Many people live on their computers, especially teenagers, to escape the transactional lives they are exposed to - feeling powerless - in their everyday lives .

‘’Virtual reality ( VR ) is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets , sometimes in combination with physical spaces or multi-projected environments, to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual or imaginary environment….

VR systems that include transmission of vibrations and other sensations to the user through a game controller or other devices are known as haptic systems . This tactile information is generally known as force feedback in medical, video gaming and military training applications .''(6)

Instead of choosing the ‘VR’ world as a more bearable feedback , we should diligently and consciously make a powerful comeback to SPIRITUALLY SOUND ‘AR’ .

‘’Augmented reality ( AR ) enhances one’s current perception of reality, whereas, in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one .’’ (5)

If you are stuck in an unbearable feedback cycle, regardless of its origin , ponder upon this:

I love these quotes in the movie by Rancho: ‘in the future when you think of just giving up on life, remember that the letter was in your hands, the cab was at the gate, only if you had thought about it once more , your entire life would have been better . ’

‘That day I understood that this heart scares easily. You have to trick it; however big the problem is. Tell your heart, 'Pal, all is well. All is well.'(1)

• Raju: ‘Does that solve the problem?’
• Rancho: ‘No, but you gain courage to face it.’
• Rancho: ‘Pursue for excellence, success will chase you.’
• Rancho: ‘Make your passion your profession.’

I purposefully quote this out of context from the movie ; …….

‘’I never manage to plant the kiss dude... the nose comes in between.’’

I liked that comment so much because it shows how weak our excuses can be, for not

planting the ‘kiss of life’ in our own lives.

Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”

If your fear feedback - to give it or receive it - just give that one small step. The heart may scare easily’,

but think of this verse from the movie …….

• ‘’A loud fart is respectable ...
• A medium fart is tolerable ...
• A slight fart is fearful ...
• A silent fart is unbearable...! ’’ (2)

No more poopy talk to yourself!

STOP IT!

Then you may just, eventually. end up with the real ‘scepter ‘:

‘’ The Sharp-Edged-Sword that dissolves the will of illusions that chains the ego to its own

finite folly .’’
