Improving at the speed of God
There aren’t many blogs dedicated to men’s self-improvement left in the world. Even less so blogs written by finance professionals. For years, I subscribe to the updates on two blogs that define their space, one is David Asprey’s and another is Mikhael Syding’s, the former [and more recently, active] European Hedge Fund manager of the Year. Of course, Asprey of Bulletproof Diet became famous years ago and has a sizable (in the millions) following, he’s been known as the “Number One biohacker”. His eight books [I believe they’re eight, but I could be wrong] are all exceptional reads, I recommended them all and even did a book of his review couple of years ago.
Syding’s latest newsletter post, How the World Work, is very rich in theosophical and existential treaties. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Obviously, I can’t reproduce it here, but he’s keen on *meetings* being the core of everything and consciousness, not matter or time, is what defines existence. [I spoke about the non-existence of time already back in 2019]. Karl-Mikhael Syding ends up signing his newsletter with the title “Aspiring Sheng-Jen”. According to the Oxford dictionary, a Sheng Jen is in China, one who hears the way of Heaven ( Tʾien) and develops understanding, often translated as ‘sage’. Sheng- jen is therefore the ideal wise person who penetrates the hidden meaning of all things and lives accordingly.”
This year, I brought to your attention the Indian mystic Sadhguru . I hope you’ve read my book review of his latest book weeks earlier, and that contemporary mystic Sadhguru has inspired you.
In the beginning was a field…Syding says. Not the Big Bang. What happens is human mind can only perceive snapshots, beginnings and ends, labels. These are our limitations. Past, future. Snapshots of the human mind.
I see this “field” as emanating from the present. The future is made now…and so is the past. Poor human snapshots of reality minds of the common folk are unable to grasp. The Universe is marching towards its end as well as towards its “beginning” concurrently, because there is no “beginning” or “end” to begin with.
