In terms of how we connect with our world and affect reality, consider this:

Dr. Atkins, a Cardiologist, developed what we casually refer to as the
‘low-carb diet.’ His heart patients had in common a degree of obesity. It
was his goal to support their heart health, this then, the impetus for his
research and discoveries.

Dr. Atkins not only stood for his ideas but he vehemently opposed
traditional ideas. Herein is the push-pull, the ‘Chinese Finger Puzzle
Syndrome.’

Within weeks of his death, the principals for which he stood were ushered
in like instantaneous combustion. All too often struggling artists who can
barely feed themselves while alive, are ushered into the annals of history
posthumously.

As forces in the world, do we stand in our own way? Or is dying for what we
believe the way to impregnate the world with it? In our death lives the
death of our resistance that gave birth something beyond that which is
generally accepted.
