What a $30,000 Flashlight Taught Me About Life

August 30, 2016 By Julian Kaufmann

It’s back to school time; Fall is coming and football season is upon us. Meanwhile, my oldest daughter is entering into her final semester of college, and I am feeling a bit nostalgic. And truth be told, a little older now as well. It is hard to believe that 30-years have almost past since my senior year in college.

I received an electrical engineering degree from Clemson University in 1987. Today it costs about $30,000 a year to attend Clemson, and it was worth all that and more to me. Clemson taught me so much about electricity and helped prepare me for so much in life by teaching me how to learn.

During my sophomore year, I took an introductory circuits class and we learned the most basic of all circuits – the flashlight. Flashlights are comprised of:
1) A power source – the batteries (V = volts)
2) Conductors – the metal material that conducts the electrical current from the power source to and from the filament (I = current)
3) The lamp or filament (the light bulb) (R = resistance)
4) A switch to start or stop the flow of electrical current

Today it would cost me over $30,000 to get to the point in college where I would learn about the flashlight. The following is a simplified circuit diagram of a flashlight:

In addition to forming the foundation for understanding more complex, circuits, the flashlight also provided me a framework in which to explain God and the spiritual energy that animates life and the universe.

In a flashlight, the power source is typically a battery. A battery provides the voltage – the electromagnetic force that causes the electrons to flow through the circuit. In life, we have a higher power that is the source and force behind all there is. This higher power is God. Like the metal conductors in the flashlight, we conduct energy as well. We are conductors of the flow of divine energy that emanate from God. Our light is more than a bulb, it is our soul’s expression of the divine expressing through us.

To join is free and you will receive access to my e-book – Why Less Is More – The Simple Science of How to Get More Energy Out of Your Life. A prime mover converts energy from one form into another and does work in the process. That is what we do! We take the energy of God and then convert this into our life’s work.

Namaste — from my light to yours!

Waste Not Want Not, Conserve Energy in Your Spiritual Home

May 3, 2016 By Julian Kaufmann

Did you remember to turn off the lights?

The British are known for drinking tea. In her TED presentation^⁠¹, Leyla Acaroglu stated that in the United Kingdom, 97 percent of households have an electric tea kettle, and 65 percent of tea drinkers admit to overfilling their kettles, boiling way more water than they need for a cup of tea. These tea drinkers were wasting relatively small amount of energy for every cup of tea they drank. Based on government calculations of energy use, Acaroglu reported that one day’s worth of wasted energy use from all these kettles is enough to light the streetlights in London for a night.

Small amounts of wasted energy can really add up.

When you leave your home to go to work or run an errand – do you leave all the lights on in your house even when no one is there? Or do you leave your home’s windows open while either heating or cooling your home? What about when driving your car, do you drive with one foot pressing on the accelerator and the other one pressing on the brakes? I would guess that you don’t do these things because you don’t want to waste energy because it costs you money and because you want to conserve energy.

The most affordable way to generate energy is to not waste it in the first place.

What about your spiritual home? Could you be a better steward with the precious life energy that you have received?

What do you do to conserve, to honor and more effectively utilize your spiritual energy in your soul’s abode -the place where God ultimately expresses as our selves.

Whatever your spiritual belief, the truth is that we are energetic beings and our spiritual energy (our life) is the most precious resource available to us. We can’t afford to keep squandering this resource.

Just like we have had energy crisis related to the earth and our use of natural resources, we too are having a spiritual energy crisis involving our supernatural resources. It is critically important for our own lives and those around us that we practice and S.E.E. That is we practice – spiritual(S) energy(E) efficiency (E).

Each of us has a calling, a unique purpose and it is up to each of us to live the best life we can in order for us to flourish. The divine energy that comprises us was manifest to activate our God given potential.

In many ways we are like an acorn. Given the right environment and care, we can grow and prosper – evolving from a tiny seedling into a mighty oak that it turn provides for others in the forest.

But if we are needlessly wasting divine energy through resistance, we are squandering great gifts and ultimately we will not live up to our full capabilities.

Too often we do not activate the potential that is available to us and our gifts and our calling remain locked away inside us.

The stress and busyness of life builds up and can interfere with us living our life – of experiencing our Flow.

We choke off portions of the infinite supply from our Source and do not perform the great work of our soul’s purpose.

It is time to take the power back!

What's the Frequency Kenneth?

April 19, 2016 By Julian Kaufmann

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. – Tesla

There is a direct relationship between frequency and energy. Albert Einstein and Max Planck established this construct many years ago. The relationship goes like this:

As the frequency is increased, so is the energy increased
As the frequency is decreased, so is the energy decreased

Today I tried a little science experiment with an exercise bike to show the effect of frequency on energy output. Please see the video for more:

You can try similar experiments for your self or simply believe Mr. Einstein and Mr. Planck. Please let me know what you try if you want to try it for your self.

Now that we have established the relationship with energy and frequency, how can we use this information for our benefit?

Let’s think about it – literally.

Recall our brains consume much more energy on a prorata basis compared to their mass. See the post – How to stop the Brain Drain.

Our brain operates in states that are defined by brain wave frequencies, which are shown in the table below:

Brain Wave State	Frequency (HZ)	Notes
Beta	14-30	Awake, normal alert to anxious
Alpha	9-13	Relaxed, calm, lucid, not thinking *(Flow)*
Theta	4-8	Deep relaxation/ meditation, Mental Imagery
Delta	1-3	Deep, Dreamless Sleep

Unfortunately we often end up operating our brains in the higher frequency regions which ultimately consume more energy than is needed.

Watch your speed! Conserve your energy – meditate.
