IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (Meaning: My Warped, Personal Opinions and Musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
I read this excellent post by @oivas yesterday:
"Making Money on Steemit for Newbies"
Article Link:
https://steemit.com/life/@oivas/making-money-on-steemit-for-newbies
It prompted me to submit this comment to @oivas:
Excellent info. I have entered @originalworks' and @crypto.piotr's contests in the past. BTW, they are both great sponsors. @crypto.piotr is an awesome and amicable fellow.
Namaste, Jaichai
@crypto.piotr saw my comment and responded with this:
I agree. Im awesome big time! :D hahaha
thx for your kind words @jaichai
you're AWESOME too :)
(This comment reflects @crypto.piotr's sense of humor and humble nature. He really is an awesome dude! And it is well worth your time to visit his blog and see all the good works he devotes his time and energies to.)
When I read his comment, I just had to send this comment back to him...

(To @crypto.piotr)
I truly believe that "Everything is ONE".
In other words, one cannot attempt to separate from one's surroundings without sacrificing their own identity.
I say "attempt" because it is impossible. But this false sense of separation only invites the profound sadness of feeling isolated, disconnected.
The Universe is not something "out there" external from you.
Most Westerners erroneously believe that they inhabit the Universe, when in reality the Universe inhabits them.
The Universe is in you and me. It is you and me. And we are it!
Simple extrapolation of these truths leads to a wonderful conclusion: "In many ways, we are each other."
In fact, just by being in close proximity, we literally share each others' atoms and incorporate them into our own being.
Consequently, I am keenly aware of the reflection mirrored in the people I meet.
Sometimes I like what I see and I'm pleased. Other times, especially when I am annoyed or angered by someone else, I know it's probably because of something I don't like in myself.
Damn, this was supposed to be a "short" reply!
(The old tongue loves to wag too much, no?!)
I'd better stop before I ramble on into the night!
After all the above, maybe you can now understand this:
In you, I see the "awesomeness" within my reach.
Everything is ONE.
May you find your own ambrosia and drink up today!
Namaste, my friend.
JaiChai

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
your secret is always safe man!. Good post.
Hi from PayItForward saw your post good one.
You managed to put a huge smile on my face @jaichai
I wonder how many people will actually read through that post. It's kind of messy and Im not sure what was it all about :) hehehe
Yours, Piotr
Pure awesomeness. I am glad you turned this conversation into a post <333 All is Self :) So much Love @jaichai ~ Namaste
Love it!
Always giving what is hidden a sense of existance.... Good work @jaichai
Theoretically we are all from "one" source whether biological...cosmic or spiritual....but...why does it not feel that way? Why would we evolve to feel like "separate" human beings and struggle with others as we do? Is it a requirement for the survival of the species?
Excellent question. And honestly, I don't know why. It seems so non-productive in the long run, no?
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Namaste, JaiChai
I love the idea that everything and everyone is "one". That kind of thinking could really better the world
