On The Dangers Of Multi-tasking



On the very first page
of the instruction booklet,
“How to Properly View Reality”,
it is quite clearly stated,
“Focus.”

In physics,
the “double slit experiment”
permits viewing of
light and matter
as both waves
and particles.

In multi-tasking,
as focus
is divided,
one is never
sure,
from a physics
point of view,
if what you are treating as a wave
is, in fact,
a particle.

When uncertainty rules
your complementary variables,
at least
your principles
remain.

Welcome, and Namaste

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
