"FOOLS GOLD" IS NAMED AFTER THE THOSE THAT MINE IT

FOOLS GOLD is a group of minerals and ores that when they get together, they mimic Gold. It is usually found on the surface and in places not hard to reach. But REAL GOLD traces are usually found on the surface too and panning for it allows you to pursue quantities if you go deeper. Eventually, sluices are formed which allows greater washing which allows deeper access to more gold...

But that is still not where we want to go. We are searching for Hard-Rock deposits of Gold often referred to as the MOTHER LODE. Through all that hard work, digging deep, without fail, under all conditions, fair and foul weather, over terrain and mountains, lack of good food and shelter, we get what we are looking for in the end.....GOLD......

So it is with mankind. We find ourselves on a planet hanging in mid-air amongst other planets. In between them is dark voids and in the distance....more of the same. I have a few thousand questions at this point....

If that is not enough to get you going, look around you using the human eye and behold things that you take for granted everyday. Clouds, weather, plants, water currents, the wind, oceans, forests, mountains, nature, and multiple life forms without end......These things speak to you, summon you,..... to investigate and inquire.

IF YOU DON'T CARE TO JOURNEY TO THE STARS......LOOK INTO A MICROSCOPE...

The inner gold miner: Some of what I described above lights fires in certain people causing them to want to know more. They have more questions than they do answers. They have now triggered in themselves, an adventure unique to them, but very similar to others that have journeyed before them. They want to know.....and know they shall. Those that journey along these lines.....will be fed and satisfied.

The outer gold miner: Some of what I described escapes certain people, who do not give it a second glance or thought and who are in pursuit of one surface distraction or another. These people have active imaginations to replace the real wonders and stay within their own minds and worlds...discovering very little of the mysteries that abound....They keep themselves busy......but not productive. They see and hear, but are bored.......they lack understanding

The person who digs deep, steady and without excuse and ventures forth into themselves to discover why and how they do and think...quickly realize that the journey itself lends a certain reward and encouragement as you go. As you pursue the mystery, it gradually moves closer to you. Eventually you will meet and your life will never be the same. Character is being developed and other mysteries are lining up ....to be found by you.......

EXPLORE THE MYSTERIES OF THE MICROCOSM AND THE MACROCOSM.....

The person who does not dig deep, or inquire, seems to be content in not knowing anything more than their foolish existence and how they may make it deeper, longer, and more satisfying. This results in more of everything they do. Eventually, that excess gives you "access" to places that can harm you and kill you....before your time. Fools gold.....anyone?

There is an abundance of FOOLS GOLD to keep you busy and distracted resulting in a very poor return on the mystery called ....life. Then there is the MOTHER LODE, the inner place where the WHY and the HOW is activated. Pearls are hidden in people. There, awaits you the TRUE TREASURE and VALUES......

Everyone drinks and eats........but only some are truly filled and satisfied.......Don't mine FOOLS GOLD....go deeper than that and...... mine the riches within yourself instead...

Richie ... great topic for today.  I really enjoyed the analogy of "digging for Gold", as it pertains to creating leads for your business to find the "gold"!!   Success comes around after many failures ... in our daily business activity, we will probably "fail" about 70% of the time... to find the 30% of success!!  Use the Microcosm to dig deeper for the "warm leads", to help the success ratio increase!!

Richie, since I majored in the sciences, I already have the tendency to want to dig deep. Very thoughtful post.

you must learn to tell gold when you see it. So many think it is always greener on the other side of the fence while like in "acres of diamonds" and "Wizard of Oz" it was right in front of you the whole time. Being next to the gold isn't always seeing it.

Hello Mike...My wife's favorite example is the one you used in your "wizard of Oz" comment. Dorothy could have gone home at any time as she had the ability to do so....It was there just waiting on her to trigger it. Your comment theme is awareness is what I get...thank you Mike
