I have read the above people’s writings and they have personally affected me mentally and physically in my approach and actions.
My birthday today, September 23. As many people I started to go down memory lane. I looked at early pictures trying to get in touch with and “feel” the time when I got my “Davy coonskin hat” or my dog, bullet, or my first love, or my first car.
Then I shifted my thinking to about love, family, and work.
Physically, I have spent the last week organizing information for me. Mental, polyneuropathy, poor balance, digestive processing (poor absorption of vitamins and minerals) are all equally disturbing. Some information follows:

My doctors have explained “my” situation regarding affects of age, quality of life and expectations based on the genetics passed on from the “family tree”.
I was told that to some extent I could modify the affects of genetics by focusing on environmental aspects of living.

I tried to follow the above diagram but it became a little fuzzy like the next picture.

The underlying information was that I am “pre” disposed to diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, stroke, heart attack, mental conditions, a pot belly, cataracts, skin problems, like stucco keratosis, pattern baldness, graying hair, nervous system or hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA axis) problems, neuroendocrinology, the inability to extract nutrients (process vitamins and minerals critical for health/maintenance) and last, but not least, the fact that hypothalamic development and response to an acute stressor is determined by pre-pubertal stress in early life.
One link I reference in trying to understand and track the main aspects is

The previous link is where I reviewed the connections and references with a certain amount of awe. I came from a thought, an energy pulse. I am part of the “I am”; my journey yet the self knowing, part of the One. What simplicity, what complexity. “Is or is not.” - Yoda in Star Wars. “Believe” is what my mother said so many years ago to me. Simply believe.
It is not about “self” or “id”. It is all about the soul, that part of all, that detachment from self, the inner peace detached from the outcome of events.
I could go on and on with the topic of time and energy, selflessness, unlimited incarnations, presence (force) in a rock, a tree, a plan. DNA, we have far fewer pairs/strings/genes than the monkey. Sameness as in a seed. It can be dormant and unchanged until an event takes place (watering). Then it turns into a something that is the same as (a seed of grass for example). Maybe that is where the old Bible saying came from when telling (people) to have the faith of a muster seed. Now I understand the real meaning. Even the mustard seed knows everything it needs to know.
The universe is said to be made up of some 10% of what should have existed from the “big bang”. The other 90% is now called dark matter (because we can’t see it). I think it is all potentiation waiting to exist. Is this nonstuff waiting to instantly become whatever is needed? I believe so. See, I have always been what is called an existentialist. I have always been drawn to people like Carl Segan.
Happy Birthday to me…..and you have a nice day. See you soon.
