Learning Some of Everything
It has been difficult to try to come up with a specific subject to write my first book on. Just last night I taught somebody how to make a website in notepad in just a few minutes. He said he totally understood the concepts I was trying to convey and that I should sell the information on how to do what I had just taught him.
I thought about this for awhile trying to think if this was what I wanted to do for my first book. If I wrote this book I could call it “How to make a website this afternoon“. Yet I could only think of the size of the book the way I teach and seeing it as being so tiny that people at a book store would not be able to see the book. It would be only two or three times the size of my blog posts. So I continued to think of what subject really defines me as a person.
The result of my thoughts was that I am interested in learning a little bit of everything, and that I should write a book about everything. This way I can reference some great ideas I have had in those areas, as well as point out people who are truly masters of these areas or have had revolutionary ideas. Then I can link people back to their material to learn more on the subjects.
See I have come to different understandings in many fields, because I have spent my life learning little bits of many subjects. Doing this has allowed me to see how all subjects are connected, how we are all connected and how we create our own reality. Looking into the ideas of others shows us connections that they never saw because we have a different fundamental view of reality and a perspective that is uniquely our own.
I do not claim to know or understand everything in the fields that I will discuss, but rather I feel I understand the general concepts and can bridge the concepts of one field to another field. I think I can take a painter and teach him to understand biology, and I could take an auto mechanic and teach him to understand psychology. Since as somebody who is fascinated by learning I do my best to listen to others who are trying to teach and if I do not understand the lessons that they are teaching I try to look from their perspective to better understand them.
Our brain is not a hard drive that stores memories. Rather it is a tool to translate and interpret them, so the more perspectives we can see from the better we can understand and grow.
This will be my first book. It will be simple concepts in many fields, that when put together can help the entire world to understand the subjective reality that we all live in.
