Inspiration

To inspire means to breathe in. Not with your upper chest, but with your diaphragm, the part below your ribs. Breathe in. As you hold it, reflect on this miracle. You are filling your lungs with mostly nitrogen, some oxygen, and as you release your breath, you are giving the plants your carbon dioxide. Every breath is a miracle. That should be the first and only inspiration you need. That you keep breathing is a miracle, a blessing, a treasure and gift reserved only for the living. So should you start to feel depressed or disconnected, this is something you can always return to. Inspiration, expiration.

Of course, the feelings, experiences and relationships we encounter will add \\u2018content\\u2019 to trying to stay balanced and may throw us off-kilter.

So, if the breath doesn\\u2019t inspire you, fill you with hope and joy, then where else can you go? What can you do?

This is where you enter your laboratory. You may not know this, but you are one. A laboratory. You are an ongoing experiment. But that means you have to keep trying new things, new combinations, new experiments. Now, the thing about science, is that it is mostly about failure. Failure does not mean bad. It's just data. So part of what we are doing in this case, is finding out about what makes you inspired. To do that, you will need to look back on your life, and remember what has inspired you in the past. What does inspiration mean to you? Does it give you impetus, ideas, hope, or just happiness? Perhaps what you first need to do is think about and reflect on what inspiration means to you.

So here we are in our laboratory, and we are going to try and re-create or reanimate that feeling of inspiration. What ingredients do we need to start with? Was it a poem, a motivational talk, a book, a specific person, an unexpected revelation? Perhaps the ingredient we need to start with is Love. Without Love all the other ingredients will not truly inspire.\\xa0

As Albert Einstein writes to his daughter, \\u201cThere is an extremely powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us. This universal force is LOVE.

When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force. Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.

This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.

To give visibility to love, I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.

After the failure of humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe t
