You have less than 2.5 billion seconds left to live.August 25, 2010
"You have less than 2.5 billion seconds left to live. "One early morning last week, I sent an e-mail to my 14-year-old son who is currently drowning in the quicksands of ignorance in South Florida along with his mother who brought him down there. My e-mail had the following subject line: "My son, I calculated that you have less than 2.5 billion seconds left to live." Isn't this a great way to wake up? I then explained that I am assuming that he will die at 94 years of age: 80 years left * 365 days/year * 24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 2 522 880 000 seconds remaining in this lifetime.
Is my son lucky or what? Every child should have a dad who reminds him or her that they have less than 2.5 billion seconds left to live. Thinking about this fact helps you figure out what is important in life and what is utterly mondane and meaningless. But not every child can be so lucky indeed. How would YOU live your life differently if you knew - as you know now - that you have less than 2.5 billion seconds left to live? The "Amrita-Kana" (Droplets of Nectar) offers us a lot of wisdom with regard to making good use of the time we have in this life.
Doing nothing and accomplishing everythingI did not type a single word you see on this page. I spent all morning practicing transcendental meditation in the dome as part of a group of approximately 2,000 Sidhas. Mother Nature whispered the contents of this page in my ear, and once I got back to my room, I proceeded to dictate those thoughts to my iPhone using Dragon NaturallySpeaking dictation app while jumping up and down on my mini-trampoline. The result is the page you are reading now. My work is now done for the day. It's a tough life, but someone has to live it. The question is: when will YOU decide to learn transcendental meditation?
