"Lay Man's Series"


Talks hosted within a town/village by the local school system.  Each talk features a student from the "local" college, giving a "lay man's" presentation on a topic.  The topic is a class the student is taking or the student's major or master's degree.  The audience is the local community members that want to learn about the topic being presented.  The student presents in a way that allows the average person to understand.


"What is this?"  What is it about?"  "What is it's application in the "Real World"?"

On Change and Energy required for it

Reserves of energy are required for a person, group, nation, to allow "it" to be in a constant state of evolution.

Without a reserve of energy, change becomes impossible.

"Top ten foreign interventionist actions by the United States Government"

-All represented in fun, Elmer Fudd-esque animation


Introduction (by a pleasantly-voiced commentator):

This, by a country that is bordered by harmless Canadians, basically harmless Mexico, and water, which is probably the most threatening of the three (see hurricanes).

Summary of Idea:


When a ("crime", "wrong against another") is committed in a community, word travels about the ("crime"/other) through the community, and cracks form in the community, representing fear, judgement, anger, and a sense of unease.  The community must then come closer together to form and and reform, and strengthen, the bonds that strengthen and create the community.

In today's world, through the vehicle of mass-popular-news, the frequency of impacts of the news of new ("crimes"/other) is overwhelming, resulting in fractured and destroyed communities.


Representation of Idea:


Visual of a hammer striking ice, creating cracks in the ice, radiating from the impact point.  The ice is shown to condense, or "push together" (use of computer graphics), and when it un-condenses, it's much stronger.

For the next visual there are multiple hammer strikes, and the ice doesn't have time to heal.

Video

A person is driving a vehicle.  White knuckling and driving into all sorts of hazards.  A person behind them (in the vehicle) is training them to drive and at some point says "just let go"; Conversation: "Really?" (driver showing fear and anxiety because letting go is scary)  "Yeah".

The person lets go and the vehicle drives much more smoothly.

(Needs elaboration)

Video, Animation

  A pilot of a space ship is traversing space, with his space ship (duh).  His compass points the way of Love, of living for others, (insert other).  He chooses the way of doing things for himself, ego, materialism, (other).  Perhaps he has a uniform that is labeled Ego.


   At times he consults the compass;  usually he takes control of the steering and his path is fraught with problems.  He starts consulting the compass more, and his trip gets smoother.  In time he connects the steering system directly to the compass, sits back, puts his hands over his head, and smiles.  The trip becomes wonderful.

Video, Comedy

  A person walks down a sidewalk through a community.  In everyone's back yards are (the old record players with the speaker "tubes").

When a person approaches a house (in the action of passing it), the owner inside the house sees them, runs out to the back yard, and starts cranking their record player.  Each record player plays a different dog barking.

Passion without industry is useless


Great things come from simple ideas


The goal should not be work
The goal should not be rest
The goal should be balance


A trike is like a go-cart you can legally drive on public roads.


A society that has its core values being Science and Capitalism is doomed to fail.


The present is a grand feast, if only you sit at the table


Assume the best in people, and you will get the best that they can give


In the turtle and the hare, say not that the turtle won the race, say that the winning of the race is irrelevant;  it's the Being during the race that is important.

The Past is History
The Future is a Mystery
The Present is a Gift


To receive gifts on one's birthday seems absurd


The biggest adventure is finding a new way to be;
because when this happens, EVERYTHING changes.


More valuable than being supported when successful, is to be comforted when hurt, and encouraged after failing.


Time is like things-  Not very important compared with quality;  When thinking of the past, future, or present, be not too concerned about the amount of time;  rather the quality.

On Giving

Giving enriches the life of the giver;  But in giving, the giving of non-material things far exceeds, in benefit*, the giving of material things.

A hug and some companionship, at the right time, can greatly exceed the benefit from any amount of money.

A true giver gives their heart and time;
