Joe Rogen talked to Mel Gibson - Awesome!

 I have been telling my stories through my journaling in my sketchbooks and till today making this blog entries with the hope for something that would help me trace my past, my strength and weaknesses;perhaps this is my healing process, or at the very least making sense out of life. Listening to the Joe Rogen podcast with Mel Gibson, it raised my consciousness a notch with regard to how much there is to ponder about life, my own and the universe at large. The amount of knowledge and wisdom encapsulated in the mind of this great actor/movie maker is mind boggling and for me it is inspiring. It speaks much of how our collective mind can produce such minds like these and at the same time produces the Hitlers and Netanyahu. Mel Gibson is one of those characters whose life, flawed as he may claim, is for me an inspiration as an artist. A man full of energy and focus in his direction. There are many like him, I am sure that i have not fully encountered or have the privilege to stumble upon while being too busy being absorbed by my take on spiritual study via consciousness and quantum studies. 

It was my son who steered me from listening to my regular subject to the Joe Rogen podcasts claiming that i should stop listening to these AI manifested views and listen to experiences from the horse's mouth. Being introduced to the Joe Rogen podcast is a boon, shedding new lights upon what it is out there that makes things happen as experienced by real life achievers. It is like the meeting of great minds, the movers and shakers of humanity towards a more creative and productive life that we as human can achieve. What I take from this Mel Gibson interview is the fact that how one man can manifest so much in his life from his early age till now and how much knowledge and information he harness in his mind or consciousness and still crave for more as though there is no end to it. I compare him to Alan Watts where Watts was an enigmatic character in search of spiritual wisdom while Gibson is immersed in acting and movie making. Yes i wish that i too have this charismatic and devoted tendency towards what i hold to be dear to my life and existence. 

I do have a few of what i like doing,like painting and sketching, and of late, cooking and of course there is this blog posting or journaling of which I have spent quite a bit of time of my life, often late into the early hours of the morning. Then there is the spiritual pursuits like meditation and zikr, which has been my main practice to slow down or even if possible, stop the noise of my mental ramblings. One of my take on this so called practices is the fact that it helps to diminish mental noises or kill the monkey mind. I am not successful most of the time, however there are times when the silence that ensued whenever there is success  is worth all the time spent in these discipline. Especially the zikr or the recitation of verses from the Quran in my case, it not only anchors me in the more devise state of consciousness, it also occupies the in the mind that would otherwise had been invaded by the incessant floods of irrelevant thoughts. Every so often when one achieves this state of mental silence, nice things happen in your consciousness, like clarity or pure insights into what possibilities are out there for one to explore. God speaks to you in silence, they say. Obviously, how can he say anything to you when you are occupied with noise in your head.
