Momentum: Observation 05. Predicting the future. 1976 27.12.2023 3:40

Observation: When I was five or six years old, my dad taught me how to play catch. I realized both of us could predict where a ball would land, illustrating an ability to predict the future in that context. This act of prediction wasn't about magical foresight but understanding motion, momentum, and intuition. I later realized this skill could be applied to ideas, envisioning a future scenari...

Colors: Observation 04. Friction is always red. 1975 27.12.2023 2:33

Observation As a five-year-old, I visualized the vibrations and patterns from a car ride with sounds.

This observation led me to visualize words in colors based on their emotional tone and context. Friction is always red. The Lesson The story imparts the lesson that friction, whether physi...

Sounds: Observation 03. A mysterious letter called elemenopee. 1974 20.12.2023 3:20

Observation When I was three years old, after hearing my sister sing the "ABC" song, I recognized letters in words, such as A in Apple. However, I was puzzled by the seemingly singular letter "elemenopee." It took me six months and an ABC book to realize "elemenopee" were individual letters, teaching me that answers can be hidden due to limited perspective. The Lesson...

Motions: Observation 02. Everything moves in predictable ways. 1973 20.12.2023 2:05

Observation: At three years old, I connected the sound of the wind to the changing shadows from the leaves outside. By listening, I could predict shadow positions, understanding the relationship between wind sounds, tree geometry, and shadow movement. These observations began my fascination with visual snapshots of objects in motion. The Lesson: The most important lesson from this story is that ca...

Patterns: Observation 01. People move in unique ways. 1973 13.12.2023 0:58

From a young age, I recognized that people have distinct movements and body language. I could identify my family members by the sounds of their footsteps and the dance of their movements even before knowing their names. This experience taught me that one can understand something in multiple ways. The Lesson: The lesson here emphasizes the importance of non-verbal communication and perception. It s...

Practical Dreaming: You have permission to dream 12.12.2023 1:22

Observation: Mark Rubin, a Dreamweaver, has developed a framework for turning dreams into reality, based on observations since 1973. His method involves using widgets and a world-building engine, known as the Long Game Framework. This approach enables individuals to systematically organize and execute their dreams, transforming them from mere nighttime stories into tangible realities. The Lesson:...
