@kennethchay1098 I might use "merit" in place of "competitive". It was around 2001 that a wealthy customer explained that Big Tech was seeking lower standards and higher profits. She lived in the heart of Silicon Valley and 10 of her close friends gave her mediocre advice on her kitchen/master bathroom project. In the end, I did not get a bit more work in her Elite Neighborhood. She used to tell me about the ideas that her friends gave me--- and laughed about how rich they were, yet how limited they were in creative thought. Her husband made 2 million per year; her most successful friend's husband made about 25 million per year. Merit?

@dadnelson4008 You sound like a hobby woodworker, a teacher who does side jobs on the weekends and during the summer? Full benefits and penssion but work almost for 1/4th the cost of someone like me that had the same responsibilities as you mention. Sure I am a designer/craftsman but people often tell me they know a guy--- meaning they have a cheap guy. We lost our home last fall after 24 years to foreclosure. I accept all the blame for my failure. And I lost all my equiptment by a very corrupted process. I should have taken a government funded job when we first got married 44 years ago--- but who knew that the world would get this crazy? 😁 What has saved me?

@dadnelson4008 I lived my/our dream life for three decades. Then the Banking Bailout shifted priorities from quality(merit) to artificial value(money printing). This is a simplistic view but our dreams(music, art, creativity, etc.) shifted to survival. America is better than that. Now we have Tic-Toc. 😅

@dadnelson4008 Good observation! "Never give up hope!" The one blessing we creatives have left.

Wisdom is most often born of pain. Uncommon success: synchronistic mathematics Are you familiar with this kind of wealth?

@squigglyarmz197 Are you at all interested in ET disclosure?

@squigglyarmz197 Thanks for the chat! Coincidentally, squaring my exact birth day and hour yields our address for the past 24.7 years. We seemed to know when we first found this mountain paradise that it was significantly superior to our 11-year rental in Cupertino, Ca. Back in 1997 I knew nothing about what we have talked about, let alone the meaningful address. It requires a tremendous courage to write creatively online for 23 years. I believe our minds develop most efficiently when we challenge our established beliefs and cultural wisdom, and swim against the current.

@squigglyarmz197 I am asking if people have had meaningful experiences supported by mathematical signatures. For example: my birth certificate number reveals significant future events in my life. Meaningul coincidences. 😁🦄🦋 Tell me your story.

@squigglyarmz197 Those who express these thoughts that you share, are quute common. Although there has never been any empirical evidence to support these generalities. Anyone can parrot deas and concepts from booksvor opinions of others. Meaning is very subjective in my book, and blooming in meaningful coincidences. I used to hear people throw words around like "synchronicity" ; "spirit" ; "awakening", etc. They never could concentrate on the empirical evidence, art, poetry, stories that I shared. They often claimed that my work was too abstract. 😁 Hypocrites in my longterm experience--- who talk like they know these deep subjects; but really are living fraudulent lives, it appears. One is a friend who wrote a comprehensive book on the New Age.

@squigglyarmz197 About numbers: Galileo said that mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe. I would guess that you don't believe in God or His language?

@squigglyarmz197 See--- this is where my topic comes in: I discovered some extremely "coincidental" relationships that can shed light on the subject of "Are We Alone?" I discovered geological points on the globe that correlate to an unseen dimension--- or more, but I have no way to differentiate multiple dimensionality. I have a human brain. 😁 These points connect the stars to our planet. Like a projection onto the planet from another dimension. The mathematics is perfect. The coincidences are extremely subjective and meaningful. This sort of sets me apart from established schools of thought, religions, theories, etc. I have no interest in starting a cult.

@squigglyarmz197 Mystery is an essential aspect to the human mind. Religion is also---- when certain conditons exist. I went to a local church because a gay lady friend and her dog were allowed. I knew her from the local coffeehouse; and she is a guitar maker. That requires patience, focus, and training. Why would she need religion? Why would the church allow her dog, "Sophia" into services? I was curious. I like to see for myself. I do not enjoy people simplifying reality because I know it is far greater than we can know; although, there are mysterious and Miraculous things happening that we cannot just guess at. In the 4.7 years that I attended, and regularly attended bible study, I now understand better why religion is beneficial to overall mental health. I no longer attend. They do not want to hear about the miraculous events and locations I have discovered---- some are right here in our little mountain town. "THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH" 😁😨💗

@squigglyarmz197 That is okay that you are not interested. My only interest has been to listen to others who have shared similar insights: right place, right time, eyes wide open. 😨

@squigglyarmz197 I can debunk "flat earth" with one simple question. When I ask--- those pushing flat earth run. So do spiritualists when I mention "synchronistic mathematics". Religionists will imply things about me without doing any research. Then they run. Gaslighters always run when you know what to ask them. 😨

@squigglyarmz197 I am not trying "to help people". I started trying to find a suitable means to discuss direct personal experiences as a young man. I did not understand the language of religion or spirituality. I was a Math major in college and studying Computer Science. I knew that I had the intelligence to become a multi-millionaire( as my friends used to encourage me); but I had a deeply underdeveloped creative gift. As a designer/craftsman in Silicon Valley for over 40 years I made it to the top nationally in my area of expertice when a designer/contractor suggested to his client that she contact me. Seems mainstream knew about me, but feared that I actually had better vision. With this particular designer/contractor...... he fully understood his client. She and her husband wanted a special home in Santa Cruz--- and he won Architect of the Year: US in Pasedina (2013-14). I jested that I must be woodworker of the year, then? 😨😁🦄 We move ahead on the coattails of the well-connected. 😁
