You Have Been Served

Posted on December 31, 2014 by kgoodman

If you are reading this, I am giving you notice. You are special. You are gifted. You have power beyond the imagination of the world. The world doesn’t understand your ability, or your power. More importantly, you do not understand your abilities.

Your humility doesn’t do the world benefit. You need to accept your power by releasing yourself. Your mind is holding you back. The more you think you can, the less you can. You need to know you can.

Every building has a foundation. The foundation keeps the building solid. Protects it from earthquakes. Keeps the building from shifting.

You are not a building. You are a spiritual being. Your foundation keeps you in one place. But, you need to be mobile. Many of the stories you tell yourself, upon which you base your life, are in fact holding you back.

The narrative in your head will lead you to the path of average you are meant to be exceptional.

You need to wake up. You need to become aware. You have slept long enough.

As you realize your capabilities will be amazing. This is to be expected, don’t get cocky. As the saying goes: They gave me a badge for being humble. When I wore it they took it away.

All of this will be meaningless to you, until the timing is right. When the timing is right, you will not need anyone to say it to you.

You have been served.

Namaste,

Kevin

What Would You Do?

Posted on December 24, 2014 by kgoodman

I remember when the WWJD trend started. People all around trying to ponder what would Jesus do in this situation?

About 15 years ago my friend was about to get married to best girl, Jamie. I remember we joked at the bachelor party that his wrist band emblazoned with the letters “WWJD” standing for “What Would Jamie Do?”, to keep us on the straight and narrow for the bachelor party. We ended up going to see the latest Austin Powers movie, definitely tame by bachelor party standards.

Holding yourself to the perceived standard of another person is an interesting behavior monitoring and adjustment tactic. What would your soon to be wife do in this situation? What would your best friend do in this situation? What would Jesus do in this situation? But in order for you to actually and accurately apply this technique, you would need to know the mind of the person that you intend to model your behavior after.

It’s intriguing when you consider the implications of such a question. “What Would Jesus Do?” The question often implies the higher calling of mankind. To seek peace and justice. But do we truly know the mind of the Christ? Could we act in a similar way to the expectation of how Jesus would behave? It is easy to simply ask the question, but to walk through the inevitable assumption that it implies, is to believe that we know the mind of Christ. And ergo, based on religious dogma, to know the mind of God.

But really, in the average case, when this question is applied, you’re not behaving as Christ. You are just overlaying a religious behavioral code on your actions and then judging them as worthy or unworthy. If we were to truly answer the question of “What Would Jesus Do?” we would need to understand the underlaying motivation and impetus behind all actions of God to really grasp how to behave in any situation. Thus rendering the question of “What Would Jesus Do?” at best inert and at worst harmful. How could we possibly know? And what if we were to interpret the actions wrong and instead of choosing to feed the homeless we chose on that day to overturn the tables of the money changers? How are we to know that we’ve chosen the right action?

I bring up this question not to denigrate the intent of those eager to seek a higher power to guide their actions. Rather I point out this epitome of logical failure in seeking guidance to highlight a simpler action that occurs far more often. To avoid the pitfalls of comparing yourself to others. You see, I find my brain doing this all the time, when I react in a unpleasant way to something I find my mind judging and saying “Nathan would never have done that.” Or “I bet Peter handles these situations much better than I do.” It is a common pitfall to assume that others are better behaved than us, more compassionate than us, a better person than we are.

In fact to enact this type of comparison falls under the same logical fallacy, to imply that you know the mind of the other person and know how they would react in any given situation. It is not our job to know the minds of others. And it is not our job to judge our actions against the perceived thoughts of others. It is our job to know ourselves.

Temet Nosce

Know Thyself

It is our job to understand ourselves. It is our job to know our own minds. It is our job to understand our actions and learn from them.

What Amazing Thing Do You Do?

Posted on December 17, 2014 by kgoodman

My 2 year old walked by with a ear to ear grin on his face and a big red bouncy ball in his hands. He’s still getting his words, but I could tell from his expression what he was thinking, “Watch This Magic Trick!”

The magic trick, the thing that brought absolute wonder to his eyes and an expectation that I would marvel at his ability, was throwing the ball. He proceeded to throw the big red bouncy ball across the room and then laugh and giggle at how amazing it was. The follow on look in his eyes and the happy sounds from his mouth, stated clearly, “Did you See That? That was Amazing!!!”

It put a smile on my face to see so much joy and wonder. But it also gave me pause. What amazing thing do I do, that I no longer consider amazing?

I’ve thrown a ball recently, and I was pretty non-plused. But when I look back at all the hours and hours of practice I’ve had throwing a ball, I should be pretty impressed. I have fallen into a common trap that catches all of us, diminishing returns. “Yes, congratulations Kevin, you can throw a ball. You could throw a ball yesterday. What new thing can you do?”

In always seeking the new and exciting, we lose sight of the old and valuable.

What you can do today, is amazing. What you are already capable of would marvel any 2 year old. And, if you take a step back and view yourself from the outside, you should be able to take a deep breath of amazement and say “Wow, look at me go!”

So, as we are currently in the holiday season of giving, I invite you to give yourself a break. You kinda rock!

Namaste,

Kevin

Enjoy The Spectrum

Posted on December 10, 2014 by kgoodman

Have you ever heard the saying, “If the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a nail.”?

Metaphor aside, as a handyman, you pull together a set of tools. You expand as you take on new jobs and find a need for new tools. But at some point you have a lot of tools and you start to think, “I’ve got this”. Sometimes it’s because the toolbox gets full. Sometimes it’s because the specialized tools are too expensive. But you can reach a point where you just make things work with what you have.

Back to the metaphor, when solving problems we develop a certain set of skills, and we tend to apply those solutions to every problems we come across. We treat every problem like it’s a nail, when all we have is a hammer.

We run into the same problem when we’re trying to judge another person.

We are contrast machines, we establish a baseline of behavior, appearance, character, and then look for differences by viewing the contrast between the known (our baseline) and the new (the person you just met). When the only measuring stick is ‘you’, you tend to measure everyone against yourself. For example, I think that everyone should be more or less one Kevin tall, anything else is just too tall, or too short.

There are really 3 primary groups when you look at judgement:

The average person would fall into the personal measuring stick, where everyone is judged against themselves. Where likeness is found it is considered normal and difference are considered abnormalities or failings of the person being reviewed. The reviewer is the baseline, the measuring stick, and the person under review is considered outside of acceptable bounds.

Closed minded people can have a twisted standard. Instead of judging against baseline, or against themselves, they judge against who they think they are, or who they think they should be. Essentially you’re being judged against a standard that they don’t even live up to. Their illusion leads to a judgement of failure on your part. Oddly with this mindset this illusion also leads to dissatisfaction with themselves.

Open minded people can expand this to allow for variations within a control group. Instead of just judging new people against themselves, solely, they judge within a group of people they consider as “within acceptable parameters”. The grace and success of this method is dependent upon the size of the group you have allowed in to be “Acceptable”. This can be a good means of judgement but it’s fallible when you run into a person outside of your accepted experiences.

Now the goal, as I see it, is to be in a 4th category, let’s call this the “Really Open Minded” group. This is the group that looks at someone and accepts them as they are. There is no judgement of value based on what they can do and cannot do. There is no consideration of lesser or greater. There is only awe at the person in front of them. A sense of wonder that you even got to interact with a person so unique and amazing.

I have been learning more about myself recently through the mirror of my kids. It turns out I’m not quite the person I thought I was. It doesn’t make me a bad person, it doesn’t make me a good person, I’m still just a person. I’m reminded of the scene from the matrix where the bad guy snort derisively at Neo during a fight “Only Human”. I snorted that derisively at myself this morning during a moment of abject humanity.

I am “only human”. I am also “delightfully human”.

The me that I am, and the me that I believe I should be, are still only a fraction of the spectrum of all that humanity has to offer. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations. All is acceptable because we are all made perfectly as we are meant to be.

Namaste,

Kevin

There Is Nothing New Under The Sun

Posted on December 3, 2014 by kgoodman

I feel like it’s all been said. It’s all been done.

There is nothing new under the Sun.

I drive and push and march on and on.

Am I really the only one?

I hope for more and settle for less.

I feel lost and hopeless, my life a mess.

I wish I knew all, and must confess,

my goals seem pointless and I’m distressed.

And yet there is a ray of hope.

As I trundle down this steepening slope.

A chance for salvation in a narrowing my scope,

To run away and break the rules.

Perhaps I’ve simply reached a bit too far,

set my sights upon almost every star.

I’ve sought too much, and understood so little,

I’ve jumped to the end, not lived in the middle.

Instead of living within my bounds

and seeking comfort in familiar sounds.

I’ve sought for everything, all that’s found,

instead of being satisfied with what’s around.

And if there is, nothing new under the sun,

and if it’s all been said and done.

Then why not seek a little fun?

Seek out and joy and slow my run…

I already have all that I need,

I have been blessed abundantly, beyond my greed.

The universe will guide me hence

and I can trust my innate sense.

Breath…

Namaste,

Kevin

Let’s Go Watch That Again…

Posted on November 26, 2014 by kgoodman

Have you ever watched a movie twice? (or more…) You know how it goes, you watch a movie and you just think to yourself, “That was Amazing, I want to watch it again!”

You get the general plot, and loved the story, but there were parts that just didn’t make sense.

You are filled with questions…

What was doctor’s character doing with the old car?

Why was the wife upset at her hairdresser?

Why did aunt Ethel always wear a blue hat?

Why did Eric turn to a life of crime? Was it his mothers fault?

So you watch the movie again, and sometimes again and again, trying to soak it all in. Trying to make sense of the details. Trying to connect the dots.

Really good movies are like that, there is a depth to them that calls out for review and consideration. They touch upon something core to our being and make us ask questions. These questions are sometimes about the movie, but more often then not, they are about us. By understanding the movie we can reveal a truth about our subtle selves that is not obvious.

We can ask abstract questions of our psyche… Would I do that? Could I do that? What if I had to make those same decisions?

The really good movies don’t entirely make sense the first time through. You get the general plot, but you go back for more, to get the nuance…

And that’s one of the big challenges with your own life. You’re watching it for the first time. You haven’t met all the characters yet. You didn’t get to read the script in advance. And a lot of random things happen that just don’t make sense.

When you watch a movie the first time, you just don’t know what’s going to happen

That’s the fun and that’s the challenge.

You have the joy of discovery, but you don’t have the advantage of perspective.

When you know what’s going to happen, the second time around, you have the advantage of understanding the results of the actions. You don’t have as much fun with the discovery, but you can really dig into the depth of the interactions. The emotion tied up in experiencing something the first time can actually cloud our understand of what is really going on.

This is especially true in your own life. When you are experiencing a moment in your life it is very easy to be swept away in the emotion and lose sight of the big picture. Job loss, breakups, deaths, births, unions and new work, always seem dramatic and traumatic, but when viewed back through the lens of time and experience they all become part of a bigger picture.

This is one of the ideas that helps me when in the midst of tragedy or turmoil, I am part of a story that hasn’t ended yet. Death and loss are very painful, they are also inevitable and instrumental. They help to shape us, polish us and refine us. And I truly believe that they would all make a lot more sense if we saw them from a universal perspective instead of from the first person view.

Whatever is happening in your life right now, well, I hope it isn’t too painful. But just remember, even if it is painful, it will all make sense when you watch the movie of your life the second time through.

Imagine you in your last moments, on your death bed, with the credits of your life rolling, experiencing that moment of elation as you think to yourself, “That was amazing, I want to watch it again!”

Namaste,

Kevin

What Is Truth?

Posted on November 19, 2014 by kgoodman

And the truth shall set you free… Once you figure out what it is.

Have you ever pondered the word “Truth”? Have you ever considered what truth really is?

Merrian Webster defines it like this:

Truth – the truth : the real facts about something : the things that are true

: the quality or state of being true

: a statement or idea that is true or accepted as true

There was a time when the idea of the world being flat, was accepted as truth. And according to this definition that was not a lie, it was in fact true, because, it was accepted as truth. So truth may not always be… well, true.

At one point in our society we accepted as truth:

Black people should not have equal rights to White people – This is false

Women should not have equal rights to men – This is false

Children should be seen and not heard – I’m not even sure if this is possible, but some days it would be nice…

According to Merrian Webster truth is subjugated to the mob mentality. If something is accepted as true it can then be proffered as truth regardless of it’s lack of factuality. You could argue that truth in fact negates itself, because societies can silently vote on what they believe is true. So lacking complete facts conclusions are based on facts at hand, with incomplete information, facts become truth and truth is founded on a lie. Ergo, truth is falsehood.

So where does that leave us? How can truth set us free? Are we throwing out the baby with the bathwater? When did we start cleaning babies?

Perhaps the best thing in this case is the rephrase and reframe. Perhaps, like all words that become overwhelmed with legal precedent and burdened down with cultural bias, we need to adopt a new way of speaking and thinking. Perhaps we need to create a new language that isn’t overloaded in our minds. Or perhaps we should look to an old language that our minds are unfamiliar with, in order to start fresh and build new constructs.

This is where the liberation of ancient languages has value. Ever since I heard it I have had a fondness for the sanskrit word “Maya“. Maya means illusion. The way I learned it, it pointed to a very specific kind of illusion. The illusion that our mind puts over the world around us. In fact it is the illusion of our truth. Truth is so powerful that our mind’s truth is held up as a shadow over everything we see. Our truth is in fact a filter through which those things that conflict with it cannot pass. Our truth, as described through maya, in fact prevents us from seeing the truth.

What is the truth? In many ways global truth is as subjective as personal truth. The universe allows us to have a personal truth in order to give us a gateway through which to perceive the larger truth. As with any model, there are bound to be flaws and imperfections. As you can imagine the truth you operate out of has taken years of construction. And the instruments of training our truth have been the flawed truths of all of our teachers before us. Our truth is literally standing on the shoulders of all those truths that came before us. Deconstructing the building of truth to it’s foundation is no small task.

It’s also a work that must be pursued. After all, the truth shall set us free. But we have to find it first.

We are born with a powerful set of tools are our disposal, and then rarely taught how to use them. Instincts and intuition, when minded and heeded, enable us to see being the truth of our mind. Paying attention to your gut and seeing past your perception is an act of awareness. It often must be approached in the 3rd person outside of ego. And it is an act of patience and compassion.

The quest for truth is not an afternoon activity and not for the faint of heart. I assume the end result is amazing… But I’m not there yet.

Keep the faith.

Seek for truth.

Love thyself.

Namaste,

Kevin

Shave the Whales

Posted on November 12, 2014 by kgoodman

I’m always shaken up when this happens. When one of my core beliefs get thrown into the blazing bonfire of life.

It is not a philosophical debate.

It is not a “what if?…” scenario.

It is life throwing reality right up in my face and telling me that something I believe, fundamentally, is flawed, inconsistent, or just plain wrong.

I hate being wrong.

I have always appreciated the Dilbert comic. I remember a book that Scott Adams released back in the early 1990’s entitled “Shave The Whales…” It’s about how messages can often get lost in translation when you start with a good intention, but your words get mixed up.

But that’s not my core challenge today. My challenge comes from the original message. Saving the whales… Or more to the point Saving anyone. Well even more to the point it’s about control, and letting go.

I remember a comedy special by Dennis Miller that I listened to in the 90s. I laughed a lot and I recall he was very sarcastic and embittered… But I don’t remember exactly what he said. Except for one thing. It struck me in my core and while I laughed and laughed, and I’ve even quoted him several times over the years, it is also an idea that I’ve struggled with, ever since I heard it.

“You can’t save everyone — just try not to be living next to them when they go off.”
— Dennis Miller, April 27, 1995

I think the power of this humor is that it both comforts me and makes me uncomfortable.

I am comforted by the release, that it’s not my job, nor even within my capabilities, to save everyone. This removes a terrible burden that my idealism has placed upon my psyche. It lets me off the hook.

At the same time it makes me uncomfortable, because a fundamental concept at my core, part of my upbringing and belief system, is that everyone can be saved. I have idealistically believed that everyone could be saved, and with enough time and initiative, I could be the one that does that saving.

It’s a terrible burden that I have held onto and in many ways, at times, it has frozen me to inaction. The daunting prospect of saving the world is such an insurmountable task as to be quickly dismissed by the mind as impossible, therefore impractical, therefore, let’s just watch some TV…

So as I interact with people that are so different from me and so out of my experience that the mere thought of connecting with them is comical, let alone the thought of connecting in such a meaningful way as to “save them”. It highlights for me that I have taken on, in my mind, a responsibility that is simply unreasonable.

More to the point, what am I “saving” them from? What do I see as the threat that is so sinister that they must be saved. And what leveraging idea, saving solution, do I have, that would result in their being “saved”.

It’s a logic path that I must face to come to peace with the fact that my core is being dismantled. This has happened in the past, and the results are usually liberating and freeing… After the pain is over… Right now, I am in the pain. So I can only comfort myself with past experience and remind myself of another favorite quote.

“You have survived the past. Odds are, you will survive the future.”

And so I must deepen my practice of letting go, and letting the universe guide my path. I am here to experience life and to live in the fullest. Sometimes this means that I must lose notions that hold me back, so I can continue to be propelled forward. Baggage is only useful if you need what you store in it. Lose the baggage and free your mind.

So as I write this to myself, and find a few people reading over my shoulder, I remind myself in a calm soothing voice. “You can’t shave everyone…”

Namaste,

Kevin

Deadlines, Friend or Foe?

Posted on November 5, 2014 by kgoodman

Well it’s Wednesday, and that means it’s time for another blog. Deadlines are funny things. They can drive us to achieve. They can hold us accountable. They can stress the hell out of the prepared and unprepared alike.

In software it’s the age old debate. There are 3 goals for releasing a product. Quality, Features and Time to Market. They say you can have 2 out of 3 at any given time, but you can’t have all 3. What that means is that you can add a lot of features to a release and get it out on time, but then you probably won’t have time to test it all thoroughly, so it will be buggy (industry term for full of bugs (defects (broken things))). You can add a bunch of features and make sure they are all thoroughly tested, but that means you will miss your deadline and not get to market in time for whatever holiday shopping season you had your eye on. Lastly you can Test it thoroughly and make your release deadline, but you had to drop a few features that may have been critical to the market place so your product won’t sell, maybe.

So here it is, another Wednesday and my blog is shipping more or less on time. So I’ll let you decide if I sacrificed quality or features. Did my blog have a lot of typos? Or was it thoroughly spell checked, but the content was useless?

Can you hold art to the same standards that you hold consumer goods? How does art weigh in? Is it appropriate for art to have a deadline?

When was the “Mona Lisa” completed? Did Leonardo da Vinci work on it for a month? an afternoon? or a year?

Turns out he worked on it for 4 years and still didn’t think it was done. 4 years! (citation)

So when is your art enough? When is it ready to ship?

When I have painted in the past, mostly art classes in grade school, I have been frustrated with my work. They were not up to the level of quality that I find pleasing to the eye, but still it is my art and practice makes perfect. But I did stop practicing. If I spend more than a couple hours on a painting it seems like a long project. So to consider painting for 4 years… It’s unfathomable.

While I’m quite certain he didn’t focus his sole attention on the Mona Lisa for 4 years, it’s still astonishing to consider a project of this magnitude. When you wonder at the detail and attention put into the painting, think about how each stroke must have been considered and reconsidered as the brush was manipulated.

I have heard of companies where software releases took 4 years. Usually the release was less of a work of art and more a flying spaghetti monster. And companies that allow that sort of gap in market presence don’t get to stay in business for too long. The world with it’s global ADHD moves on and finds the next shiny object to gawk at and marvel over.

The world seems to be speeding up, faster and faster to a frantic pace of discovery and novelty. We are constantly shifting attention to the next great thing the next big idea without consideration for the impact of our rapid consumption, fatigue and disposal of the last great thing. What is the carbon footprint of an idea?

With all of this in mind I encourage you to set deadlines and allow them to be missed. Release your art and make the world a more diverse place. Find your format, hone your craft, and walk your path. You may have the blessings of a person that can focus on a project for 4 years and still not consider it done. But 500 years later there will still be people marveling at what you did. Or you may find that your art takes 5 minutes and is forgotten in 30 seconds… But you reached out, you sent goals, and you experience your life and your art on your terms. That’s really all was can ask for.

Namaste,

Kevin

Watch Your Language

Posted on October 29, 2014 by kgoodman

I remember a specific moment in time when I was talking to my mom. I would say I was about 10 years old. Old enough to believe strongly and young enough to make bold claims. We were talking about some medical condition, she was a nurse at the time and these were common discussions. She had used some medical term I didn’t understand. After a long explanation I understood, but was resolved that the world shouldn’t be so complicated. I responded with sincerity and enthusiasm, “When I grow up, I’m going to write a dictionary that explains medical terms in words that everyone can understand.”

I assumed at the time that I would go into some medical field and then make my knowledge accessible to the layman. I never did go into medicine.

I didn’t realize then, but looking back I can see it wasn’t that I was interested in medicine. It was that I wanted the world to make sense and I wanted others to be able to see the sense of it. I also saw language as a way of segregating people. The languages we learn in each profession are an elitist tool that draws boundaries around areas of knowledge and exclude those “uninformed”. As if to say, “If you haven’t spent 10 years learning the words I know, I won’t bother talking to you”. It may reflect a need to feel superior, and language tends to be the quickest path to isolation.

I find I still both balk at and embrace the differentiators in language. As my primary profession in computer software, an industry riddled with specific terms, the segregation shows up every day. Don’t get me wrong the terminology is crucial to specificity. But it’s also a path to overburden that must be cleaned up before any effective communication can take place. Then to make matters worse, in an industry already buried with specific terms, here comes the acronym. RAM, ROM, HD, VGA, HDMI, USB… And these are just the common ones. I’ve been at companies where they produce their own new acronyms on a daily basis. If you were out of work for a month and come back to a group meeting, you can find yourself completely lost as they bandy back and forth with the latest TLA (three letter acronyms), to describe everything from cloud software to going to the bathroom.

I recently entered the world of VOIP (Voice Over IP) (IP means Internet Protocol) (VOIP means telephones). And I came across the acronym POTS. It means an old style land line, as opposed to mobile phone or VOIP. So at first I thought it must refer some hardware structure of the land line. Something that resembles a pot or a bucket. Nope. At the risk of sounding stupid in a meeting I asked what POTS means. The answer even surprised me. Plain Old Telephone Service… Really?! We can’t just say that? Or land line? Did we really need to spell it out the long way and then acronym it… Well POTS it is.

It’s endemic, It’s the nature of a metaphorical language. Even, and I should say, especially, spirituality requires it’s own language. Imagine stepping into a christian church for the first time as an uninitiated, or if you happen to be lucky enough to be unitiated, imagine the lost feeling as you walk into a yoga studio for the first time. What did he say? What’s an asana? What does Namaste mean?

Metaphors evolve and words get stale. Think of some of the words in your world that are completely buried in mire. Words that mean so much, that they now hold little meaning at all. Words like ‘Politics’, ‘Religion’, ‘God’. The word ‘God’ will conjure an image in everyone’s mind, everyone you talk to will have an impression from this word and the use of the term will impact everything in your dialog from then on… But what does it actually mean to the person you’re talking to? Do they have any impression in their mind that’s even close to the meaning you had originally intended? The more loaded with meaning a word becomes, the harder it is to communicate using it, because the translation on the part of the receiver is less predictable.

So we come up with new words, and more specificity. And then we educate those around us, that we care about communicating with, to help them understand what it is we’re trying to say. The cycle of language and metaphor grows and recedes and repeats.

This is why I use the word Namaste in my close. Partially because it has strong meaning to me. But also because it has new meaning to me. It’s an ancient word and in certain cultures it is overloaded with meaning. I’ve seen it used in presentations in India as casually as saying “hello”. I was honestly offended. It was impersonal and quite frankly too intimate for a presentation on how the Oracle database was going to help my business…

For me it’s much more precious.

When I say Namaste, it means to me: Putting aside my ego, the divine within me acknowledges the divine within you.

It means I see the spark of God within you.

It means that I have the spark of God too.

It means that I’m not bragging, I’m not being pretentious.

I’m being authentic and setting aside the part that will judge both you and me and determine if we are worthy of such a gift and if one of us has it to a greater extent than the other.

That voice is silenced and I sit in wonder amazed that we are even able to have a flawed conversation in language that both of us share but neither of us fully understands.

And I pause each time I write it, to consider, do you know what I mean?

Watch your language.

Namaste,

Kevin
