This is why I love spending time with babies and toddlers. Everything, and I mean everything is an adventure. You live in the moment. I’m convinced we’re born knowing everything, and then we’re taught, or life teaches us, to forget everything and we spend our lives trying to get back to where we were at the beginning…knowing everything.

They hold the magic of life and being with them reminds me somewhere in the corner of my mind, that it’s possible to go back. What we think we’ve lost is only forgotten, not gone.

Thank you Jon! I’m a relatively new subscriber and this is the first newsletter that I’ve made time for to read and think about. Most of what you have said here resonates deeply and it reminds me of one of my favorite quotes made by Einstein, “Imaginations is more important intelligence.” If ANYONE was both smart and wise, I’d say Einstein fits that description. I’ll make it a habit of reading your emails and thanks for the deeply thought-provoking material! krys

I remember hearing Alan watts saying
“maya means illusion in a very complex sense. It means also, creative power; art, magic, calculation”
and your approach is all about expanding this. With logic.
Very,very, very very great piece. Blew my mind. Thank you Mr. Rappoport.

And here is the answerable debate, Jon.

Does “creativity” come from somewhere or is it spontaneous? Whereas I disagree with brain real estate and “mind mapping”, I know that time is constructed from unlimited preformed scenarios (made out of light). Therefore, “free will” is restricted to “choice” limited only by [DNA] representative physicality.

Love your analogies. Perfect.
