Personal Ethos
- 1. Personal Ethos To strive towards being the best person that I can be, and to inspire others to do the same. I desire to positively impact as many people as I can, and to work towards shattering the chains of inequality, both internally and externally imposed. I am a man of intention and purpose. I am driven to inspire the best of myself, as well as others. I believe that the greatest fulfillment that I can have is to live a life of continual personal growth, and striving to live a life of passion and purpose. I believe that my life is defined by the quality of my relationships, and that when my life is over, my defining quality will be the love for my friends and family, and the positive impact that I will have had on their lives. I believe that loving and inspiring my fellow brothers and sisters is the purest filter in which to positively impact the world. And when loving my fellow brothers and sisters conflicts with the priorities of loving myself and those closest to me, that I will accept my limitations and simply do the best that I can in each moment. I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt. I believe in choosing to see the good in people, and attempt to empathize with those that I do not understand. I believe that love, acceptance, and empathy are the greatest gifts humanity has to offer to one another. I believe in fighting to manifest my full potential, and I believe in helping others fulfill their potential, as well. I believe that understanding the foundational patterns in the Universe, which connects everyone and everything, and can be explained through Quantum Mechanics, can have a profound effect on ones life in a very real and applicable way. I believe that acquiring the understanding of the Laws of Attractive Force and Applied Force can enhance ones everyday life and ones ability to manifest the life they desire, both personally and professionally. I believe that becoming aware of the similar patterns and relative systems that connect us all will give rise to more intelligent, thoughtful, and impact-aware individuals, which will in turn, contribute to creating a more just, equitable, and communal society.
- 2. I believe that teaching these patterns through the channel of science and applying them to human behavior and spirituality will benefit the human race, and subsequently, every other system that we impact. I believe that The Quantum Realm: Philly the Photon embodies these ideas and will have a threefold impact on us: 1) It will INSPIRE us: It will inspire us to have the courage to look inside ourselves and address the fears that limit our potential to fulfill our personal purpose. 2) It will CHALLENGE us: It will challenge us to question our assumptions, our beliefs, and to use the Scientific Method as a tool for acquiring knowledge. 3) It will EDUCATE us: It will teach key Quantum mechanic and scientific patterns that are vital for understanding ones existence, how we are connected to everyone and everything around us, and how recognizing these patterns can enhance our lives. I hope that each of you will support these ideas, this movement, and my book.
