The Northern 📍

  Time Travel.      One of the most interesting things I’ve ever read about, is Time-Travel. Not the loopy, “Back To The Future” type stuff. I’m talking more about the idea within itself. The thought of manipulating time, so that man can control it. That man can be in charge of his own destiny. That even the final enemy, will bend towards his will.      What I found so fascinating about it, is more about how we as a species used to think about it in the past. How we used to ponder the questions of the Universe, well before we even had an idea of it being true.      The story of Gilgamesh comes to mind. I believe, within his tale of heroics, the great Gilgamesh speaks of time travel as well. Of being able to manipulate the very substance we find ourselves swimming within, and controlling the outcome of tomorrow. How a story so old, from so many millenniums ago, deals with this- is beyond me.           What st...

  Time Keeps On Tickin’.      The Weather continues to move forward. A gentle reminder that the cycles of the seasons keep on rolling, regardless of the outside noise surrounding us. That nature remains in control, as it drives towards the repetition cycle, slowly dominating all those who attempt to stand in their way.      Summer is over. At least, thats how it feels. The scorching heat no longer shows its face, around these parts of the world.        The sun is a sovereign reminder, that life continues to push forward. That the sands of time do not wait for nobody. That change, like the seasons, is inevitable. We must come to grips with the fact that what we see here today, can be gone tomorrow- just like that.        Humanity has this great need to control all which it sees. The desire to have its ego in charge, running the world and pulling the strings around it. To be the magic man behind the curtain, dictat...

  Knowledge Is Power.      Always the same sentence, over and over again. Knowing how to accomplish certain things in life is the key to unlocking your true power. Imagine somebody who doesn’t know how to connect their apartment up to the internet. How can that person unlock the internet to better advance their own interests? The answer is simple- they can’t. Knowing how to accomplish certain things, as well as when to look for help, is a valuable key.      Moving forward, we all must come to the realization that we are solely responsible for the progress we do or do not make. We must be the ones who understand that there is nobody responsible for our success or failure other than ourselves. We must become completely responsible and accountable for everything in our lives, from A to Z. No one else will help us in accomplishing and creating the path we so wish to walk on. We must be the ones who pulls our boots up and does the work ourselves. Only then,...

  Refreshed. Recharged. Refocused.      Sometimes taking a short break from the usual scheduled program can do wonders. Sometimes, the mind, body and soul needs a break. Not necessarily a vacation, where you do nothing at all- but simply a break from the same old, same old. To resharpen your thoughts and focus on new tasks at hand. To recalibrate your goals and understand what it is you are truly looking for. To sig deep, and refine the purpose of life once again.      Times are challenging for everyone. Although admittedly, some are struggling more than others. This game we play called life, is rigged from the start. It’s been created so that certain individuals excel at a greater rate than others. It’s been taken over and controlled by those who wish to see their causes rise and lead the way, burying all those who are against it. It is a throne which one individual fights to claim it for themselves. And once they do, everything else falls into their ...

  Welcome, My Son.      Welcome to The Machine.      Where Have You Been? It’s Alright- We Know Where You’ve Been.      Welcome To The Machine. Seriously. Leave your bags at the door, and come on in. Get comfortable. Make yourself at home. Through the ups and downs, the highs and lows- you’ve finally made it to your destination. What a journey it’s been. Kick back, throw your feet up, and rest. I imagine you are weary. Take your time, hurry up. The choice is yours- don’t be late. We’re so glad you finally could make it. We’ve been expecting you for quite some time now! Welcome, to the Machine.      The future is inevitable. That much is certain. No matter how hard we fight it- it will always prevail. Sometimes the best strategy is to embrace the change, rather than fight it. Understanding that some forces are unstoppable, as we learn to embrace the momentum they leave behind. Perhaps we as a species should lean into the fu...

  Some Things Never Change.      The more things change- the more they stay the same.      It’s amazing to see, that after all this time, you can always rely on the same-old same-old to prevail. The more you try to stray from the path, the more the path reveals itself to you.      Perhaps thats what is called destiny. Perhaps, that is called fate. Perhaps, no matter how hard we attempt to stray from what we are or who we are meant to be- the Universe has a way of always bringing us back. Back to where we fall into our lane again. Back into the area of our lives where we are capable of growing and becoming everything we we born to become. The powers at work are beyond understanding, beyond comprehension. Sometimes all we can do, is throw ourselves into the wind and surround to its direction.      Ships in the ocean are meant to sail. Some sail through devastating storms and minor hurricanes. Others, travel through clear ski...
