Moments ago I left the movie theater after watching the story of Facebook, its entry into the world, the struggles and the success. Watching the story of a one in a life time success story of the youngest billionaire in the world alter the world of online communication at mass level I am left with a lingering feeling of hope, excitement and wonder. Facebook has no doubt proven its phenomenon story. And in the end what people are getting is a community and connection.
The Facebook movement profoundly influenced its users in such a way that has and continues to make the impossible possible. The impact is no doubt strong and the reach is wide but what results is the movement making to impact social change? What is the impact on the undeserved communities? Facebook is the platform for communication. Hello Smile is the platform for communicating prevention.
Prevention of what? Prevention of the pervasive disorders of our society. Today the statistics of totally preventable disease is staggering and the system isn't set up to handle it. Currently, the systems in place in the US are primarily after affect systems that deal with aiding the cure not curing the aid. In order for the aid to be cured prevention is a must. Without prevention we have the continuation of a backwards system working to solve the problems after they happen rather than solve the problem before it starts. Of course, we are blessed to have any system at all and the level of healthcare in the US is of the highest escalon but what is missing the the presence of a system that looks ahead to the future and brings forth the possibility of a system that works, a system that prevents.
Taking into account the issues that cost our health care system billions of dollars the question becomes how do we afford and to implement prevention and at what cost? The argument for the necessity of such a system is not the question being asked. Rather, the question is how? By what means and who will lead the charge? The undertaking is monumental in scope but rather but limited to the action of each individual.
Of course, fighting the current system is a lose lose proposition and one that will never be won. Moreover, the invention and proof of a new system operating at mass levels is the game at play and a game that is worth playing. The current system is based on capitalistic idealism and the wealth game. This is not the problem. These are fair rules of the game however, they should not be the primary motivators or primary drivers of action. Rather, the outcome is health and happiness for all at the stage of prevention is. In ping pong or tennis the game is not to hit the ball to early for fear of missing the court or not to hit the ball to late for fear of the same but to swing at the right time in order to make proper contact for accurate placement. And like Facebooks staggering revelation and successful implementation the numbers speak for themselves. Now is a time in which the resources at hand incalculable and the desire to make an impact is at the forefront of the minds of the masses. The question of how will it look and whom will lead the charge is the only question in flux. While many attempt to solve this puzzle I believe it will be accomplished in my lifetime. And if those who claim belief have a say it will.

Thoughts from 20,000 Feet
Mans soul becomes lost in childhood experience; thus his life is disrupted and he becomes detached from the divine source. He gives up his right for a full or complete experience of life and is then confronted by what he must do (what path he must take) to complete what was incomplete to gain the fullness of his spirit back and thus to free himself from suffering in this life and in the next life.
It is in mans created reaction to his (stimulus) circumstances that man creates the meaning of his life and thus also the expression of his life. How his life then gets created is by his perception or his own views of life. By distinguishing and mastering his view of his life. He then becomes the chooser of his experience of life. It is then by way of his view or his interpreted/created view that he then begins to manifest the experience he has with life. All that shows up in his awareness and his experience of life then becomes a reflection of the state or condition of his most inner dwelling place. His emotional energy, spiritual energy and physical energy including thought energy is thus a result of the condition or state of his inner world or inner sanctuary.
There are several factors which play a role in the development, maintenance and nurturing of our inner world. First we must examine the condition or state or our inner world or inner most being that is the primary source that reflects our whole experience of life. Much like the state of our physical condition is related to the inner workings of our organs and thus our blood working together in union with our organs to give us the condition or state of our physical body I am thus to examine what is the determiner or determiners of the state or condition of our inner self. How and why it is the way it is and what role we as human beings play in the game of attaining inner illumination and the highest experience of life and thus the final examination of our deepest and highest purpose and the way to finding it/living it.

10 Realizations about Life
Writing creates the the space for the expression of personal thoughts, feelings, visions, actions, desires and so on. The simple act of writing can shed light on what is dealing with, what one is experiencing, where we are and where we are headed.
Over the past couple of weeks after spending 2 months in a spiritual womb and injecting myself with Gods love I have seen much and experienced the difference of light and dark. After being back in the city I can see that the world, the city life, the people, the energies in motion I have realized much about my current state, my life and the meaning of it all.
I have come to several conclusions about my life and will attempt to share that which I have learned about me via the expression of writing.
1. Distractions are all around us. Distractions are in this order (anything we focus on outside of our current goal or target rather thinking or doing is a distraction from our ultimate purpose.)
a. Unimportant Phone Calls
b. Meaningless Text Messages
c. Emails
d. thoughts, dreams, ambitions and visions
2. What doesn't work is to focus on thoughts that are not in the moment, of the moment and moving the spirit forward.
3. What does work is to be present to what is possible make a plan, write down the necessary objects of interest that need to get accomplished and accomplish them. Like writing a shopping list before going to the market. The result lives in the planning and writing it down then executing on it to produce the result.
4. Contemplation is very important and most important when we feel disconnected from others, from ourself, from God and from what mission we are fulfilling on.
5. Depression is as real as a made up reality.
6. Possibilities are as real as we are aligned with our word both said and unsaid.
7. Energy controls our live. Either good or bad, positive or negative. Energy communicates our fate and destiny. Give to much away to negative you may be over come by the negative. Give to much to the positive you may fly into ecstacy!
8. Hope is a dream as faith is a deep inner strength of hope forwarded out word to the universe. Moving forward is faith in action and faith in action produces results. Results that stem from the intention of the faith.
9. Worry is toxic!
10. Love is all we have!
