Have you ever felt you just can’t comprehend something?
Doesn’t matter how hard you try – you just don’t seem to get it?

However, I am not dissuaded from continuing the journey of quantum enlightenment. It’s a very exciting world!

My best thinking comes when I’m not doing much.
What do I mean? Well, once your mind is ok to free-wheel, when it’s in a state of not having to think, then the best thoughts arrive. Sometimes this is when I’m in the shower. I can’t answer the phone, I can’t read much (other than the shampoo bottle that I’ve already read dozens of times), I can’t really do much at all other than the task at hand. And because it’s an automatic process now, having a shower doesn’t take much thought effort. I have essentially stopped.
