Live long and prosper!
I want to wish my fellow sojourners on this steemit epic journey the very best in this festive season. Live long and prosper!
BUT: "Live free or die!"

I believe that this spirit will empower the graphene families of projects in the coming year.

Screw the Way Things Are, I Want Out
FREEMANSPERSPECTIVE · Dec 21st, 2016
"I, for one, am unwilling to expend any effort to maintain the present order. It is by its nature incompatible with the best that is in us… and always will be.
Those of us who want to be more and better cannot support the current order without opposing what’s best in ourselves. Screw that."

And, from the oldest continuously inhabited village in America, this message bears repeating:
Message from the Hopi Elders
Hopi nation, Oraibi, Arizona
We have been telling the people that this is the
Eleventh Hour
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is
the Hour
And there are things to be considered.
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in the right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.
Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time!
There is a river flowing now very fast
It is so great that there are those
who will be afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they're being torn apart and
they will suffer greatly.
Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
and push off into the river,
Keep our eyes open, and our head above the water.
See who is there with you and Celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take
nothing personally.
Least of all ourselves.
For the moment that we do,
Our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over, Gather Yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and
your vocabulary.
All that you do now must be done in a sacred manner
And in celebration.
"We are the ones we've been waiting for..."

Beautiful message from the Hopi Elders!
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the link.
That's a great post we should see if we can get Paul Rosenberg on here too. Do you know much about him?
Well, I've been reading his essays for years. And I did read his first book, A Lodging of Wayfaring Men just before I got into crypto. He foresaw it all (maybe he is SatoshI?)
https://www.amazon.com/Lodging-Wayfaring-Men-Paul-Rosenberg/dp/097960110X
There's this from his website:
ABOUT PAUL ROSENBERG
Paul Rosenberg knows a lot about a lot of things. A lifestyle capitalist with a broad range of interests and experiences under his belt, current passions include philosophy, theology, history, psychology, and physics. This diverse interest base is reflected in his extensive repertoire of published titles, including A Lodging of Wayfaring Men, The Words of the Founders, and Production Versus Plunder, not to mention 55 engineering and construction books.
Prior to this, his highly successful engineering career saw him called as an expert witness in numerous legal cases and recruited as a consultant to a number of high profile organizations, such as NASA and the US military. He developed and taught 19 continuing education courses for Iowa State University’s College of Engineering. He also co-founded the Fiber Optic Association and wrote the first ever standard for the installation of fiber optic cables.
Thanks so much! I will see if I can get this book on the UK store. Thanks for the bio info too. I did take a quick look on the website. He sounds like a very accomplished individual.
"What we do in life, echoes in eternity. "
*Maximus (Gladiator) *
The Shankaracharya confirms:
When a man sets himself on a true and unshakable purpose, then the Param-Atman gives him full assistance and problems bow down in submission.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Merry Christmas and all the best in a wonderful 2017 to come my two fav cryptophilosophers on the blockchain!!
