It sounds a little new agey, but it’s really more practical than than it seems. The words of the acronym represent the pinnacle of a set of human distinctions, but also a potential in us all that may be more attainable than we allow ourselves to think.

Here’s how I break it down…

[O - Omniscient] A person can seem to know everything, when they are in sync, when their expectations are based on an accurate model of the world around them. [E - Eternal] Time loses meaning when you are the first cause in any endeavor (the past does not set your course), generating cause and being cause, it will be as though you were always there. [I - Infinite] You have no blockers when you are open to adapting. [S - Supreme] Tap into your joy and you may never get tired of working on something. [T - Transcendent] And finally, you can surpass every aspect of what limits you when your spirit has no bounds. Being “in-spired” means to accept a new breath, a second and a third wind and to be open to that which calls us all forward.

It is my belief that achieving something good and important will mean grappling directly with what we think limits us (and limits me). And, only then can we really make a difference in our lives and for everyone around us.

LET’s GO. MY MANTRA in FIVE PARTS. (with some comments)

You are OMNISCIENT when
Your Reality Defines the World
Integrity, you are the wheel

When we say, Omniscient here, it is NOT about Being All Knowing. Unlimited knowledge is less than Intrinsic Understanding. Having a Manual is less than Having the Understanding not to need it.

You are ETERNAL when
You are First Cause
Responsibility, you are the anchor.

When Eternal is not About How Long You have Lived or Will Live. History begins with You and the Choices You Make Now. Past is Just Prologue and the Future is the Legacy You Create now.

You are INFINITE when
You are the Possibility of all Things
Simplicity, you are the canvas

When Infinite is not About Unlimited Space. We Can Be Limited by Attachments and Preconceptions. An Empty Canvas means the Possibilities are Endless But Requires a Clearing

You are SUPREME when
Your Strength is Limitless
Joy, you are the flame

When Supreme is not about RAW POWER, but unrestrained Passion and Abundance. We can Shift our Focus From What We Have or Don’t Have, to Whether we are Fully Channeling The Forces that Drive Us, Ones that Are Limitless And Always Available.

You are TRANSCENDENT when
Your Spirit is Free
Ambition, you are the wings

When Transcendent Does Not Put us Above it All, But Connects Us to Everything, Everywhere, all At Once. Being Present to the Challenge of the Current Moment, While also Being Present to the Beauty in the Universe All Around Us.

It is JUNE 1st and I will try to read my Mantra everyday this month at the start of morning. I will think about strategies to keep it real and still remain on top of my purpose. I’ll post more details when I can share.

I promise this is more down to earth than it might seem. But, first… comes the deep breath to inspire what comes next.

Kindest Regards.

• where technology & culture is heading

• where technology & culture have been

• what seems to be happening at the moment

I realize that I have always had a lot to say, but have not done the best job of expressing the gamut of my ideas and imagination. I want to stop playing small, and maybe overtime, as you get to know me… you’ll see why I am saying this.

Real Talk. This may all just go up in smoke! Another failure-to-launch added to the pile of endless ambitions. But, I have reason to believe it… probably won’t. More on that later. Part of what I want to do is share what’s happening in my head in the most honest and transparent way possible, and hope I don’t regret the decision.

So, What’s on Your Mind, Buddy?

I will tell you my MANTRA in a future post, but suffice it to say, it is an expression of who I think we are as human beings, and what our individual potential is at any given moment. It reminds me not to allow life to compress who I want to be. It speaks to the need to embrace that we are all part of a larger picture and that if we do not live into our potential, we are all manqué, or “failed potential” that could have contributed immeasurably to pushing the world forward.

This weekend, as we all I head into June of 2025, I am throwing down the gauntlet. I will strive. I will attempt on a level I have never done before. I will plan. I will evolve my life to become the person capable of accomplishing my goals.

And, if I fail. At least I tried.

Ok… so?

Nah, I’m good. I’ll flesh out more next time.
