William Wallace Incorporated

Of course, this has a bit of a humorous tone to it, but wouldn't it be incredibly nifty to have someone like William Wallace around? I mean, man, I could really use this face-painted, clamor-wielding kilt-wearing inspirational freak around when people try to steal, subdue, or bury my freedom. It would feel VERY useful to be able to give old' Willy a call if, say, your boss made you work longer hours or you "had" to go to that wedding instead of having your time to do your thang. Motivational books, seminars, and reminders fall into one category, but I couldn't imagine how different my life would be right now if I had a William Wallace character around reminding me to fight for freedom and the things that mattered, pushing yourself, your goal, your energy, and your outcome just a bit further to reap the rewards of success.

How hilariously nifty would that be to have access to some kind of 1-800-GOWILLY Hotline; dial and you here this Scottish voice on the other end telling you to fight for your freedom!

Somewhat in accordance fighting for freedom is examining illusion and reality...
So I've been watching entourage. I like that show. A lot. It makes me feel excited about being "part" (even though I'm just watchign it as some random viewer and would MUCH prefer to have more involvement) of something I like and for which I have an interest. The moves, the acting, the scripts, the whole production mechanism, directing, everything. but then I think, wait, I shouldn't get swept up because it's just an illusion, it doesn't exist. True, it IS just an illusion, but taht illusion makes me excited and excitement is good. So the question remains, should we just ride the illusion? But believing only illusion results in insanity and psychosis. What if we could just get the benefits of excitement from illusion, while keeping this small psychological subconscious check on that excitement, knowing that it stems from illusion and is not reality, but always safely feeling that excitement. That's the solution, keep that "subconscious asterix" next to those exciting illusions (so you don't break off into psychosis), but then totally ride out and explore and feel out that illusion! It's either that or saying "that's not real" to ANYTHING that makes you feel excited and being "Mr. Reality Boy", but having depression and no zeal in your life. Conclusively, everything commences as an illusion, you can say every dream, every idea -- from Einstein's relativity, to Edison's lightbulb, to book ideas, to films all originate from "illusion". Those illusions just mentioned all became reality. Those inventors, authors, or movie stars rode out that illusion and no one calls General Relativity, the lighbulb, or Braveheart "illusion" today. We fully accept those as reality, but they originated as illusion. Ride out the illusion, friend, to reach exceptionally clever and successful realities.
