"Everyone has what I call an SPS - a Spiritual Positioning System - to guide them. This SPS is the instinct that makes you stop multitasking and lean in closer to hear what someone's saying because a sentence suddenly gives you the chills..... It's the headline that stays in your mind long after it fades from the TV screen, prompting you to think, 'Do I have a talent or idea that could turn this problem into yesterday's news?' or 'Is there someone I forgot I wanted to be?' As long as you keep letting life ask you another question - and reveal that there is always more for you to be and do - you are unstoppable"

Step 1 of the Elevator of Life
The odds of winning Lotto are stacked against you. Depending on the game (Powerball etc) the odds of winning from one game vary from about 5 million to 50 million or more. But to be fair somebody always wins, or shares the spoils. In BLOG thingie yesterday I rambled on about the distance to the moon, sun and stars. Of course the amazing part was the distance to the furthest galaxy being 14 Billion LIGHT YEARS away which I think is pretty fuuuunneee considering that a single light year is equal to 9.46 TRILLION klms. I mean seriously, to fathom the absurdity of such figures is quite pointless........ but I love fiddling with figures so let's have a crack for a bit of fun!
OhK....
1 light year is 9.46 Trillion klms, that's 9,460,000,000,000 (too far for a bike ride!)
Now the furthest galaxy is 14 Billion light years away so thats 14,000,000,000. The rest is pretty easy. Just multiply the two and you get...... LOTS! The furthest galaxy is heaps far away (cooool kid talk!). I mean what a ridiculous thought. Our poor 'ole human minds could not even imagine such a distance which is probably called 'digitswithlotzazeros' or 'digittothepowerofinsanity' away. I mean WHO CARES. It's not as if Bransons first flight is going to see it. But, while I'm having a whine and dine there is something that those absurd figures do tell us, apart from the fact it's a long way to Galaxy land.........

Dat chu down dere Trigger?
Something like that, a distance of amazing length, or other factual information such as other stars being millions of times bigger than Earth, or even the number of ants roaming our land, well.... IT MAKES US THINK. And that's good because then we can ask ourselves Questions like where did all of that stuff upstairs (in space) come from? or how did it get here? or if it was all made billions of years ago before Google then how could it be done without Google or Hubble Bubble? Well Hmmm... Hmmm.... and Hmmmm......
And so when such information is impossible to comprehend and yet we can look up to see these little specks of light that are Googillions of figures away, then we have to add another strategy to our flailing reality. "How dwee get here?", "where the farkarwee?" and "wots da point avall dis?", are questions you have every right to ask. And the answers are easy as well. NFI. So.....
If the figures at the start of lots of nothing are too hard to comprehend, and we have NFI about where, how or why we are here, and you have some spare time on your hands, then I have a suggestion.......
PRAY.......

All made before Google......
Think I'm being fuuunneee don'tcha. I'm not. See we are all here for some reason. Every single one of the 7 Billion (here we go again!!!) dots that are alive and kickin' and the one hundred Billion (oh save me!!!) dead dots that have gone up that big Escalator in the sky and fallen or floated off the last step. Every single one of those dots, dead or alive, got put here for a reason. And that big creator thingie also wants us to have good use of our bodies during our lives. Obviously. Or he would have gone and played some other inter galactic game I guess. But he also threw in a bit of pain and suffering. Now we human thingies don't like the pain and suffering bit but the big fella knows that it will help us as we develop.So....
The point I am making is this. Every morning I wake up in La Chateau and go to the beach for a walk/jog and meditation. And every morning I wonder at the waves and sky before my very eyes. And I hear the thunderous roar of the waves, the sound of which I focus my meditation on. And that is enough for me. I see and hear something my MIND is not able to comprehend (at a human level) but I know in my own MIND that I AM HERE. And so that's what is different about the new inner ME. The MSOT inner ME. I don't need to KNOW the answers to the impossible questions. I just need to have faith in my creator. And that gives me the ultimate BELIEF IN MYSELF. And that's WHY you can watch me do what I am doing. Because......
I BELIEVE .......
.....and the rest is elementary.......
