Sipping The Light: Holy Shit
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2009/04/holy-shit.html
Friday, April 10, 2009. I believe in the cosmic significance of our existence. I believe I am sacred and holy, and that I am a part of god, and that I exist as a spark of its essence, learning and gaining experience so that god can know itself. I also believe there is no god, and that our existence is meaningless and insignificant. I believe all of these things, at the same time. View my complete profile. Ani Chime, Thoughts on the Path.

Sipping The Light: October 2014
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. I forget who I am sometimes. I forget what I am. It's like I take these trips down all these different roads, each time a journey. Every time I have to get to the end. You get the point where you give up, surrender, and then back away from the illusion. So I can turn again toward what's real. It's a little like dying, getting killed. Then pulling yourself up, like a soul leaving the body, realizing who you are, what you are, coming back. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Sipping The Light: November 2014
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 11, 2014. You know it is truly amazing that we can feel anything. That we are alive. That we can reflect. That we can know that we are alive, that we are feeling, and reflecting on that. When I am miserable, I don't know any of these things. I am too busy being miserable. When I am joyful, I don't know any of these things. I don't want anything to disturb my joyfulness. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Ani Chime, Thoughts on the Path.

Sipping The Light: I have a Doubt
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2010/02/i-have-doubt2.html
Wednesday, February 10, 2010. I have a Doubt. I have a nagging doubt that everything I think, everything I imagine, everything that I am and can be is just a complex bio-chemical interaction of organic molecules and energy. That, all that is, perceived, dreamt, experienced, pain and pleasure felt, is but a transient flitter of conscious experience that will pass as quickly as it came. I have a doubt, and it is knawing at me. View my complete profile. Ani Chime, Thoughts on the Path. If You Read This .

Sipping The Light: Calling The Wild Pendulum
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2009/04/calling-wild-pendulum.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Calling The Wild Pendulum. There are times when I feel especially close to things. Its as if I am actually more in touch, more intimate with everything. Its a feeling of being absolutely present inside. As if the things which separate you or make you feel separate, fall away. I experience these moments periodically. Interestingly, I find it somewhat elusive, and only rarely can invoke it at will. Its as if the wild pendulum swings and occasionally hits the spot just right.

Sipping The Light: Uneasy
http://sippingthelight.blogspot.com/2009/04/uneasy.html
Wednesday, April 8, 2009. Sometimes I get the distinct feeling that consciousness might be an inconsequential aspect of a living organisms. I don't say that because I think consciousness and/or experience doesn't matter. Clearly it does. Whether you value the experience of consciousness or not, it is an inescapable fact that it serves the species. It enhances the ability for the organism to survive. I can imagine how sentience favors survival. But does it reveal a numinous existence? If You Read This .

Thursday, May 9, 2013. Anyway, this applicant had passed the phone screen. The notes were positive and suggested a high quality candidate. I started the interview with my usual array of general technical questions, exploring the depths of their experience. I was not interested so much in what they knew as what they could do, so my questions followed a practical path of how would you do this, why would you do it that way, etc. Now solving this problem was not the bar they needed to jump. No, it was mu...

Friday, October 11, 2013. I used to work for a company that had a very strong engineering ethic and process. I was part of a large project that was based on a high level of development excellence. For example the unit test coverage minimum was 98%. For the most part, we were always above 99%, but occasionally fell below when new people/dev groups would join the project and were not familiar with our standards. Tries to help by identifying more complex code, or code that would be more at risk to change.
