Florence Scovel-Shinn on Imagination
“The imagination has been called, ‘The Scissors of The Mind,’ and it is ever cutting, cutting, day by day, the pictures man sees there, and sooner or later he meets his own creations in his outer world.
To train the imagination successfully, man must understand the workings of his mind...”

Lecture Feedback From Students: Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality
Imagination, Community, Archive
La Cantera was a public initiative by Bull Nene and the Colombian Government, offering free music education to 300 teenagers and a recorded studio album to 50 finalists. I had the honor of teaching these young sparks my favorite subject: Using Imagination to Transform Your Reality.
Hoping to capture some of the beauty we experienced in the classroom, I asked a few of the students to share their takeaways.

Essay: Wounds for Tetagramatton
Words, Archive
“I have found that the more I heal my insides, the closer I feel to the natural world, the more natural it feels to live in this world...Wounds are holes, holes are doors, doors into something, openings, where, if we choose to enter them, the person that walks out is not the same who walked in... There is no need to try and save the entire world, because the entire world is simply the one You inhabit—you choose what to do with it.”

Highlights from Nazareth Castellanos’ Neuroscience, Qi-Qong and Meditation Retreat
Resource
Tuve la fortuna de compartir un retiro de neurociencia con Nazareth Castellanos,
una de las voces más interesantes que he encontrado en la intersección entre ciencia, consciencia y filosofía.
Entre muchas ideas memorables que compartió, hubo una que se quedó conmigo:
“Entusiasmo viene de en-theos: llevar a Dios dentro.”
