64 Notes – Notes for Entrepreneurs with Brains

King Sidharth — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 04:30:00 +0000

I get ideas. In middle of night, when I am about to sleep (especially), when I am about to wake up, board a bus or whatever, I get ideas, all the time. Some are damn stupid, some you’d have to pay me chunks of money to know.

Some you just need to go to a URL to see. Such ideas are not rare occurring in life & time of that which is me. In fact, I spew such things every 6 months or so.

64 Notes is ‘the’ recent spew.

I know you didn’t hear about in the international newspaper, since we haven’t got one. And your local news is… well… too local to cover it. I am international thing, you see.

Also I have not got any list. That reminds me to take a note to get a list so I can earn some (more) bucks and brag about it later.

The Note Taking Bug

Apart from ‘getting-ideas-at-odd-times’ bug I have another bug. I take hell lot of notes. If any environmentalist was to visit my room he’d have me crucified for the amount of paper I use. I take notes when I read books, when I learn new stuff, when I unlearn old stuff (usually taught at jails called ‘schools’) and stuff like that.

Yea, hell loads of notes. You-can’t-count-em many notes.

It’s damn useful stuff, I tell you. I get paid to do that. Some of these notes can change your life for better.

So I thought let’s put these life changing notes online where you bunch of entrepreneurs & / or empty brains can read them (and agree or go to hell) and change some fucking lives. And ‘spat!’ 64 Notes was born. (It didn’t sound like spat but you get the idea.)

Speaking of idea, you need to have brains to get what I wrote there. Not your usual chip sized peanut brain; you need a real brain. Like a real one. The one you were born with and your school teacher tried to screw. Yea that shit.

So drag your cursor and go to the website and read them. Go to 64 Notes.

Click it and go there already!

If you are still reading then you are a lazy looser. I have just two words to say to you:

Buzz Off and let me spew more ideas.

Bonus Wits: I wanted to name it ‘Entrepreneur’s Notes’ and hell, even the domain name was available. (Which is as rare as photos of ) but then some smart ass taught me a thing or two about naming good brands and boom! It was named ’64 Notes’. So all the posts that were supposed to go in ‘Entrepreneur’s Diary‘ category will have their own place.

Side Note: The money is in the list. Wanna know why? Go join the Blogussion’s eCourse on ‘Making some Fucking Money’ and leave me alone.

Raw Note: Get some pages on my website dedicated to projects. (Hip Idea!)

I warned you about the amount of notes. ha!

Truth about Enlightenment & How to Attain It

King Sidharth — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 06:00:54 +0000

Last year, one of my friends told me that there is a sage in town. People are saying that he is enlightened and recently meditated for 15 days locked in a room. He said that he and his dad were going to meet him and he invited me to join. I thought it’d be fun, so I agreed.

Somehow, I couldn’t reach in time so skipped it. Later my friend told me that the sage had a mobile phone, he even got angry on people and was asking for money too – on basis of all these observations they decided that he wasn’t enlightened. This provoked a greater discussion between both of us about enlightenment.

This discussion, later, grew with other people too. These series of discussion with people was rather a ‘Q&A session’ where they asked questions and I found the answer and clarified. So here is refined version and summary of all that those questions provoked.a

Enlightenment is Not What You Think It Is

Enlightenment is not about ‘never being angry again’ it’s about knowing the way back home and knowing that the reason for anger is inside not outside.

Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfil it – that’s the power of Jesus’s instant manifestation.

Many people believe that Buddha said that ‘desire’ is root of pain and suffering – he never said that. For even desire of enlightenment and desire of no-desire is desire still. Instead he said “The unfulfilled desire is cause of pain and suffering.”

And sure we do agree; when what we want is not fulfilled the suffering begins.

Enlightenment is Not Forever

Enlightenment is not a degree that which once attained is yours forever. It is a state of mind constantly reached for. Buddha, states that always when he talks of nine states of being.

It’s a feeling that comes and goes but since you know way back home – you go there again.

Enlightenment is not about ‘never having a desire again’ but knowing how to fulfil it

We know that ‘knowing’ is more like a feeling than knowledge and so is with enlightenment – it is a feel that comes when you know that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus and God knows. You’ve been enlightened so many times in this lifetime – you have known that which they knew.

Enlightened People Know, That Which You Don’t Know

Enlightenment is feeling which makes Jesus say, “Seek and you shall find.” It is being-ness from which Krishna says, “All your desires rise from me and are fulfilled in me.” It is that knowing from which Buddha says, “Lotus grows in a pond of mud.” And it is same place from which Abraham says, “You are that which you call God.”

In nutshell, enlightenment is feeling which comes from knowing that which Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, God, Abraham, Ram, Nature, healers know. And if you will ask of me, “What is that they know? I want to know it too and be enlightened.” At least my friend asked me. I told him, “If you are not ready to listen yet, then it will sounds like most stupid thing to you, but if you are ready then it will make most sense to you.”

Read What They Know, You Might Know it Too

He asked me, “Well how do I know if I am ready?” Well there is no sure shot way – although when you feel appreciate then you are ready – in fact then you know it already – so keep remind this to yourself and when it makes sense then know that in the moment your are enlightened!

Now, the time to tell you what they knew and became enlightened, there are many ways and many words. I will use closest to my heart:

“All is well.”

Jesus – crucified – knows that. Buddha – alone in jungle amoung murderer- knows that. Krishna – in middle of one of greatest wars – knows that. All is Well.

Did it make sense? You are enlightened! Awake! Don’t worry if it doesn’t, you are on your path – keep going. Reading doesn’t equal knowing, you’ve read and soon you will know it too.

How do I know? I’ve lived it – time and again – lifetime after lifetime. Am I enlightened? If you are, you will know if you aren’t then you can’t.

PS: That sage was enlightened or not is not the questions. Was he enlightened in a moment or not… for most of the time or not? I am least worried.

The Science of Ideas – From Idea to Creation

King Sidharth — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:57:58 +0000

In Nutshell: If you can hold the new idea in your awareness, with passion, belief or at least hope. The Law of Attraction will yield it to you.

Last month I was chatting with Daniel, my friends from the states. He got an idea about starting a website (won’t go in details – I promised to keep the content of idea secret). Man, he was so on fire with it. It thought he’d have the website up by daybreak the next day. He consulted me over a few things and he even got me excited. After discussion I went to sleep and we went to chase his dreams.

Last night I had a chat with him again, this time he was feeling ‘alright’. And when people say that, what they are really saying is, “Ask me how ‘really’ feel. Something is bothering me.” Then I asked him about the new website. He said, “Website?” “Oh… that one. Well… there are some things I need to sort out.”

And on we went with excuses not to start it. How many times does it happen to you that you get this brilliant brand new idea and after a few weeks you find yourself nowhere near passion you felt for it. The idea that seemed perfect, now seems to be full of flaws!

Now before we go on with finding answers to these questions, let’s have a brief look the science of ideas:

The Origin of Idea

Our world, the leading edge of thought, is full of the best things – right now! We have the fastest machines, the latest iPod the best of everything – right now! And yet we are asking for more… and more and more… (now you know why it’s called the leading edge?)

At the same time our world is full of contrast – it’s so prevalent. We have the richest of rich and the poorest of poor, best of best and the worst of worst – all around us. And when we live this contrast it cases us to prefer between the choices and as it causes us to prefer – the energy that creates world is refocuses to a new time into the new space.

You get the latest iPod, enjoy it for a while and then you find a room for improvements. Voila! A new preference! You draw the perfect painting, write the perfect blog post and enjoy the beauty of it and soon you find a room for improvement – A new preference.

And then you look for a way to achieve that newly preferred state of being. It is not newly preferred iPod – it’s newly preferred state of being with ownership of that iPod. Then you say things like, “There must be a better way to do this.” And that better way to get to the preference is the new idea. That is why you get the ideas you get.

You wanted to be a millionaire and as you relax (more about this later) the idea for million dollar blog comes to your mind.

How to Let the Idea Come

Often people have hard time receiving the new idea. They try so hard to think of a way out and it never happens. This is so because the new idea comes when you are in alignment with your preference or at least when you are not resisting it. When the problem is in your awareness the new idea cannot come – but when your new preference is in your awareness the new idea comes.

And often, you can’t think about the preference at all –without bringing in awareness of the problem that is why ‘relaxed’ state of thought or state of no-thought is best place to idea for come.

That is why a blank canvas is more beautiful then the canvas you worked on last night. That is why it is easier to write a new post altogether then to improve on the previous one. It takes effort to align to the preference. And now you know why experts improve on the current design of their websites and why armatures keep changing it.

The best of your ideas come when you are not looking for them, when you are about to sleep, when you are relaxing – because at that time the problem is not in your awareness and you are not resisting the new preference.

The Future of the New Idea

Now we can find the solution to our original question “What happens to the idea that seems perfect?” And “How can allow that idea to come to fruition.”

I tried to tell the whole story in a flow chart… (click to see full size)

The Life of an Idea

It’s easier then it looks, let me explain the ways it doesn’t work:

You Get the Idea » You Believe in It » You Tell it To Others » They Tell You Why it’s a Bad Idea » You Believe them » The Idea is Dead

You Get the Idea » You Keep your own counsel / Don’t bother what others say » You look at the unanswered questions like ‘How?!!’ »You Doubt it » The Idea is Dead

There are so many ways and the common factor ‘doubting your own idea’. No matter how impossible the idea seems, if this universe can make you dream it, it can deliver it too.

Here is the path that works, all the time – Success Guaranteed

You Get the Idea » You keep your own counsel / or just pay attention to people who don’t discourage you » You Believe It » When questions that you cannot answer come, you hope you will come to know the answer » You do & think whatever makes you feel positive about idea » You move in direction of your inspiration » Bam! The Idea is Reality

The common factor is believing in it no matter what and the answers will come.

To Act or Not

Often people would suggest you to just act on your idea. It is good move but if there are things that you must see to before taking the action otherwise it will be of no use. In fact there is just one thing that you need to see to: how you feel.

How you feel is everything. Every fibre in your body knows how important it is to feel good because when you don’t – something has gone terribly wrong.

If you are feeling hopeful, optimistic, content, excited, passionate or happy then jump right in. Act upon it.

If you are full of doubt, then what you doubt will be the reality not the idea. Do or think anything you need to do to get to feel better. Try to reach the place of hopefulness till then no action.

Eternally Incomplete Creation

JJust say yes to whatever it is. Because if you say yes to it and then you get in the middle of it, and you say ‘ Uh oh, this isn’t really turning out the way I wanted it to,’ then out of that is born another desire. And as you say yes to that, then it turns out. And you say ‘Well,it’s still not quite right.’ So you have another desire…’Til eventually you get it exactly right. You cannot get it wrong. No creation is ever complete. Just do it.

~Abraham Hicks | 15^th February, 2000

Now you know why a web-design is never perfect, why a book and story is never perfect, why each painting you paint is better. Hmm… it is so good to know. Nocreation is ever complete.

FAQs About Ideas

How valid are my ideas? Do I need an expert to test them?

Your ideas are so valid that the moment you have one, whole reality begins to shift. Don’t you feel like a different person when you have this ‘awesome’ idea in your head? Even the coffee you sip tastes different.

The only expert you will ever need to test the idea is you. You can test it by thinking how it feels – feels good? It’s a good idea. Feels bad? It’s a bad idea.

I’ve this brilliant Idea and later I see someone else had it too and acted upon it. Why? And what can I do about it?

The Ideas come from common conscious; it is possible for more than one person to tune into a new idea. But both will perceive it differently – no matter how similar other’s action, words or thoughts might seem.

Google and Yahoo!, both are search engines and yet their idea of it is so much more different – both have their audience.

You don’t have to do anything about it. Just act on your inspiration your outcome will always be unique.

Someone stole my idea. What should I do about it?

If you have a proof that it was your idea, common thing would be to sue them. But what is better is make your idea a reality anyways. Two reasons:

You will have unique outcome because you have unique perspective that no one can copy.
If it was worth copying, it is worth having similar competitor.

Should I talk to others about my idea or should I keep it to myself?

Doesn’t matter, it is not important weather you share it or not. But it is important that you believe in it and practice believing in it so much that even if whole world turns against it – you will still go with it.

If you want to ask for people’s opinion about it – then first grow your idea and when it’s fruition. Because what they think doesn’t matter – its yours and often when you ask for opinion of others you end up doubting the idea.

Often making it public after it’s reality will provide you contrast for further expansion of idea.

But what about brainstorming?

Brainstorming is different case. It is using different perspectives to add to and expand the original idea. Intent of people participation is to believe and add to idea.

So even in brainstorming intent is very important. Look for things that work instead of hanging to things that don’t work.
In Nutshell: If you can hold the new idea in your awareness, with passion, belief or at least hope. The Law of Attraction will yield it to you.

Bringing Meditation Online

King Sidharth — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:38:24 +0000

I wanted to write this (and many posts to come) earlier but I thought Diwali would be the best time to share the excitement. Well yes you can call it procrastination but I don’t want to manifest more of that so I am not going to call it that. (Just kidin)

This is to announce Launch of a new blog – Meditation Rocks! – a new blog about meditating to a rocking life! So here is a brief word about blog and then I am going to share an interesting story behind the blog:

About the Blog

The blog is all about new ideas about mediation (no old boring stuff) and it’s all by teens and for teens stuff. So people like us are going to talk to us about Meditation. Any one can write for us, here are the guidelines for writing a guest post/ or being a featured author:

We will do videos, podcasts of guided mediation and much more just stay tuned. In face, we have the first video online already.

So here comes the interesting story:

How I got the idea for this blog is a long story and is, again, related to the Law of Attraction but let’s save it for another day. Today I am going to tell you how I manifested money for this blog. I was working on this idea nearly about 2 weeks prior to launch. I’ll need nearly $100 (Rs.5000) to start this blog. And my account was almost empty.

Bust still I was working on everything else. Writing articles, developing ideas and talking to Ankit and Nitin (buffs) about the idea. Boy, those were the sleepless nights (as usual!)

A dream is not what you have when you sleep, but something that won’t let you sleep.
Sometimes I had to force my self to sleep at 4 am because it was school in few hours. But thanks to my trip to The Golden Temple, I got some rest.

Please don’t call it hard work. It was labor of love. Hard work never yields results, passion does. That’s the difference between a manhole worker and you.
So I decided on launch date, made a fan page on facebook and a twitter account. But I still didn’t have money! What to do? During all this I knew that money will find it’s way. All I mentioned was no matter what, this blog will be online on Sunday.
And within that week, I got my money for the 3 websites I designed. So I registered the domain, coded the wordpress site and started working on onsite details. And all went smooth. And just before 30 mins before launch, I uploaded an article and guess what? There was some flaw in design. It was messed up . It took me 40 mins to correct everything and it was finally launched.
I don’t know if you find it interesting or not. But I’ve tried to make it clear. The Law of Attraction is all about ease of it. Manifestation comes with ease.
So do visit our blog and if you own one. Please write a paragraph or two about us. When you do that, just link the words ‘Meditation Rocks!’ and meditation to the blog. (Like I did in this post).
Also I’ve made some awesome badges you can use on your blog to support us.
