Eco on Semiotics
“Semiotics is in principle the discipline studying everything which can be used in order to lie. If something cannot be used to tell a lie, conversely it cannot be used to tell the truth: it cannot in fact be used "to tell" at all.” ― Umberto Eco, A Theory of Semiotics

Reflecting on 2021
Think about the following questions. For each one note what went well, what didn’t go well, and what to focus on next year. Or alternatively, forget about answering these questions and use the time to practice meditation, qigong, yoga or go on a walk in nature - thinking is anyhow overrated.
- What big events happened this year in my life?
- How did I take care of my body and mind?
- How did my life go, work and business-wise?
- How did the relationships with my closest friends and family develop?
- What about my other friends and my community?
- Which hobbies did I spend time on?
- How well did I connect with my emotions?
- How have I grown as a person?
- How did I do financially?
- Which habits did I develop this year?
- What were my proudest accomplishments?
- What were my biggest challenges?
- What am I grateful for this year? What am I grateful for generally in my life?
- What are my major goals for this year?

"Now, my dear friends, and forever, I renounce, have renounced and will go on renouncing copyrights. My only wish is that these books be sold at a low price, affordable to the poor, affordable to all the children of God. I wish that even the poorest, most destitue citizen be able to obtain these books with the few pennies he carries in his pocket ... Whosoever wants to publish them let him publish, for the benefit of diseased mankind."— Samael Aun Weor
In his works, Occult Medicine and Practical Magic, Igneous Rose and others, Aun Weor taught about elemental magic. In the former work he expressed his opposition to the medicine of modern science, allopathy, and called for the Gnostics to learn the ways of Indigenous and Elemental Medicine.
Aun Weor taught that all the plants of nature are living Elemental Spirits, similarly to Paracelsus and many other esoteric teachers. He states that it is the Elemental Spirits who cure, not simply the 'cadavers of the plants'. Plants should be treated as living beings, harvested at the proper hours etc. He stated that the Elementals of all plants are aspects of The Divine Mother in the form of Mother Nature. In 'Occult Medicine and Practical Magic' he spoke about the healing methods of the Kogi Mamas, who diagnose sicknesses by means of clairvoyance.

Connecting the dots? Or disconnecting from the unknowable cause clinging to illusory dots?
Decoding/Encoding 'consciousness' ('brains', a energetic spacetime pattern, call it what you want) is seemingly getting much easier and more reliable: from understanding individual mammal brains all the way to decoding the neural signals of 8 billion human monkeys and using it as part of closed-loop 'mind control' systems, based on exotic models of 'reality'. But to what end? Despite all efforts, we are still chasing the illusive white bunny of Alice in Wonderland. The deeper we probe, the more ghosts appear in the shell. The map is easily confused with the territory. Within infinity there is no "absolute truth" or "objective grounding" - but everything (incl. nothing) is a paradoxical, imaginary, timeless piece of... music? Seeking certainty and control here is a fools game - Learn to relax and go with the flow instead. Ask yourself "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, in infinity?", and then call off the hunt and simply keep quiet.

If Time is money then how come people in rich countries tend to have so little?
I believe that for a lot of people time is more of a scarce resource than money. Although about 4 orders of magnitude less popular, chronological planning would seem to me more important than financial planning.
#Comment: This is not new but a truly profound insights. Given this, the most important form of "knowledge management" is "time management" (cultivation/practice)

Nature-based precision mindbody medicine will largely replace the pharmaceutical industry
During the past 200 years, countless ancient nature-based precision medicine knowledge traditions were "lost" (suppressed by the western pharmaceutical mafia and forgotten due to "modernization"). The Chinese probably did the best job at preserving their tradition (TCM), but many others got essentially wiped out (amazonian tribes etc.). There is a huge need & opportunity right now, to pull all these pieces back together and make it actionable for our generation. Just in time, as the pharmaceutical mafia is once again trying to murder and control all life on earth.
Related: Up until 100y ago, a primary component of animal feed was Cannabis. Cows, Pigs, etc. would eat hemp (fast growing & cheap), and humans would eat the animals - hence closing a loop that was highly beneficial for the animal/human microbiome and ecosystems. This cycle got disrupted in the 20st century by industrial agriculture, coinciding with the emergence of many new diseases.
