It Is A Dimension As Vast As Space And Timeless As Infinity.

I picked today’s quote for a host of reasons. The foremost one is that we are clearly living in the Twilight Zone right now. The humans are kept in cages, the animals are coming down from the mountains and wandering in the cities. We are all talking to each other using electronic devices when what we really want to be is face-to-face.

So at face value, it was a nod of the head to Rod Serling. But in taking the time to turn this into a quotation it really gave me pause to consider how much this one particular quotation impacted my life. I was young when the show was on first run and it was by far my favorite show. It sparked something in my imagination that nothing else had ever touched.

I think when an artist finds that epiphany that transcends them into completely new territory, it is one of the most magical of all human experiences.

When you read the quotation verbatim, it stimulates an evocative concept that is alluring and mystical.

The Illusion Factory was able to engage with the Twilight Zone franchise twice over its many incarnations and it remains to this day one of my all-time favorite intellectual properties. I just did not want to actually be living in the Twilight Zone!!

So on this beautiful Monday morning, here is to originality and creativity and imagination. These are three of the most valuable assets that I have ever been fortunate enough to possess. Wishing you a very successful and fulfilling week?

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you ever awakened and felt like you were in The Twilight Zone? If so, why?

It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of the imagination. – Rod Serling

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!
