Learning To Love You More - Jamie

Jamie Troy:

“Starting a lecture series.” -

a. The generation of new ideas. Draw from history i.e. cultural diffusion. 
 i. The individual as a conscious conductor of experience with respect to one’s memory, intuitive will, and ability to wonder. 
 ii. Competition, conflict, conformity, morals, and rebellion. 
 iii. Technology and the Human. 
 iv. Education. Art. Sharing without the medium of material profit. Things can be (should be) valued differently than how they are valued today, like how all types of human creativity should be expressed rather than suppressed. Education can be more interdisciplinary in order to complement the vast potential for the human to be knowledgeable aware...and with that, harmonize with the earth and with themselves!... with an altruistic appraoch before our prospects of health will manifest itself in the effect.
b. The Imagination and Film.

“Re-read your favorite book from 5th grade” -

A Boundless Moment, Robert Frost (1920s New Hampshire)

He halted in the wind, and--what was that 
Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? 
He stood there bringing March against his thought, 
And yet too ready to believe the most.

'Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom,' I said; 
And truly it was fair enough for flowers 
had we but in us to assume in march 
Such white luxuriance of May for ours.

We stood a moment so in a strange world, 
Myself as one his own pretense deceives; 
And then I said the truth (and we moved on). 
A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves.
