Imagine finding a distant planet, in which the inhabitants were killing each other, and destroying the surface upon which they dwelled.

It sounds like a mediocre sci-fi film, doesn’t it?

Unless you’re living in the middle of it, in which case it seems extraordinarily preposterous that a small elite group continue to sway influence over the masses to encourage the overall demise of the human race.

With the entire Garden of Eden wrapped around such a beautiful locale in such a uniquely convenient spot in the galaxy, we would be remiss to overlook how our overall greed and avarice take us ever closer to the horrible abyss.

When humanity is capable of grasping how fragile our system truly is and how close to the brink of collapse our species has pushed our living quarters, we are hard pressed not to awaken at this moment in history, and change the future.

There are so many negative ramifications of the continuous deforestation, pollution, overpopulation, and spread of disease that continues to dominate our existence, all of which is punctuated by a disparate group of factions, each of whom is entirely convinced that they alone hold the secret to our existence and who profess to be the curative solution if they were only given unchecked power to reign over humanity at large.

Where in our social contract with one another did we ever fully acquiesce to allow our birth rights as citizens of planet earth to be trampled upon in the favor of third-party, unguarded greed?

If we were thoroughly convinced that our future was entirely dependent upon resolving these core issues, we might awaken to a population whose determination for survival would ultimately outweigh the narrow-minded behavior of a select few.

It is only through our continuous awareness of these disparate circumstances, that we will ever ultimately find a pathway to our salvation.

If you believe this to be true, please spread the word… our time has almost run out.

Happy Tuesday!

When I was 5 years old, I discovered that the lemon tree in the backyard + dixie cups + water and sugar and I was in business. I have been hooked on that ever since. In 1979, I borrowed $14,000 to create a brand new product... photographic greeting cards with no text on the inside, called Paradise Photography. That was the start of The Illusion Factory. Since then, The Illusion Factory has been entrusted by all of the major studios and broadcasters with the advertising and marketing of over $7 billion in filmed, live, broadcast, gaming, AR, VR and regulated gaming forms of entertainment, generating more than $100 Billion in revenue and 265 awards for creativity and technology for our clients. When I took a break from film school at UCLA to move to Hawaii, my mother did not lecture me. Instead, she took 150 of her favorite aphorisms and in her beautiful calligraphy, wrote them artistically throughout a blank journal. That is the origin of the Lessons from the Mountain series. Since then, on my journeys to the top of a mountain to watch the sunrise, I have spent countless hours contemplating words of wisdom from the sages of all races, genders and political persuasions, constantly accumulating the thoughts to guide me on my life path. I hope you enjoy my books. Please let me know your thoughts, as I highly value your feedback!
