Eat, Pray, Love Cruises
Six Times Around the World · A Spiritual Field Note
The ElixirEat, Pray and Ed
The law of divine compensation, imperfect happiness, and what six journeys around the world taught me about choosing one vessel.
Doing what we love is our sanity. It fills us with a powerful charisma, enabling us to produce new ideas and new projects.
It is divine compensation.
Field Note 01 · The Tao of Hotel @nyware
Where Consciousness Operates
The law of gravity is not merely a belief. It is true whether or not you believe it. The Tao of Hotel @nyware is not merely a belief, either; it is a description of how my consciousness operates.
My cruising obsession is like a private religion. It is where the bulk of my spirit is invested—for better or worse—and sometimes there are diminishing returns.
Field Note 02 · The Price of Possibility
Choose the Vessel
The future is full of possibilities that you must constantly eliminate. If you want to sail around the world, you have to limit yourself to a vessel—and to the terms and conditions of its contract.
All boats leak. You have to love an imperfect situation perfectly.
That is imperfect happiness.
Field Note 03 · The In to My Sane
Six Times Around the World
Six times around the world builds confidence. It is the in to my sane—an organic field of energy emerging from the deepest aspects of who I am.
It is the fulfillment of what God created me to be and do.
A route becomes possible only after the other routes are released.
The work is not finding a flawless life. It is loving the real one.
Experience comes home as trust in the person the journey revealed.
The Elixir · Divine Compensation
Faith Activates. Doubt Deactivates.
It is awesome to dwell in a miraculous universe. A miracle is a shift in thinking.
For me, it has never been about hoping, dreaming, or winning the lottery. It has been about faith—and I am full of it. Faith activates and doubt deactivates my law of divine compensation.
I activate it with every loving thought. I deactivate it when I give more credence to the material world’s apparent scarcity than to the reality and power of love.
In this personal freakonomics, love is the resource that does not diminish when it is spent.
