Zen Koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
"Imagine What Humanity Could Accomplish if We Didn't Care Who Got the Credit" - unknown.
Zen Koan: What is the sound of one hand clapping?
A: Ego.
If you clap with both hands, no one will see you as extraordinary.
If you can produce the siddhis of clapping with one hand, you can certainly clap with neither.
If you clapped with neither hand, people would acknowledge that a siddhis has occurred but would not know it was you.
The sound of one hand clapping is ego.

Paypal vs Zen Cart vs OsCommerce Shopping Cart Software
If you've got fantastic products that will fly off of your shelves but don't know how to setup a ecommerce website, this is your lucky day.
There aren't many head to head comparisons between the three major ways you can create an online store. Did I mention, there are three major ways to create an online store?
| eCommerce Shopping Carts / Features | ZenCart and OsCommerce | Paypal |
| Total Flexibility of Design Layout | Yes | |
| Requirement for Design Modification | HTML; PHP | HTML |
| Hosting | Owner | Paypal |
| Additional Hosting Cost | Yes | |
| Security | Owner Responsible | Paypal |
| Additional Security Cert Cost | Yes | |
| Ideal for SKU Numbers | 100+ | 1-150 |
| Support and Maintenance | Experienced PHP | User / Owner / HTML |
| Auto Product Tagging and Grouping | Yes | (CMS required or simple HTML work) |
| Product and Pricing Change Authorization | Admin | Paypal Account Owner |
| Main Usability Differences |
Both ZenCart and OsCommerce allows product tagging, simple price changes, inventory depreciation, and more features t available in paypal. However, for less than 100 items, and if quickbooks is used, ne of these features are necessary. Also, these cart systems requires that all content and web design need to be inside of the system. Paypal does t swallow the website |
Paypal is the simplest and most secure shopping cart management system. Recently, they even added universal button changes where one control panel detail can be changed and instances of that "buy w" or "add to cart" button will be automatically modified. With Paypal, the ongoing cost of a 3rd party security certificate is unnecessary as all transactions happen on Paypals HTTPS servers. The biggest difference is that both ZenCart and OsCommerce require all changes including price and design to be done within their software. Paypal does t. Paypal works with any simple html page. |

And the Most Powerful Zen Koan for Manifesting is...
We love short cuts. They get us where we want to go with much less of that stuff in between. This is because we look at all that "stuff in between" as stuff that stands in the way of where we want to go. Whereas, in reality, all that stuff in between is the stuff that lets itself be trampled underfoot to help you get to where you want to go.
So if you just paid attention to the path by minding the following ancient koan, you just might get there immediately...

Civil Engineers add lanes to freeways making them even slower.
Washing machines were invented to save women time and now women spend 300% more time doing laundry.
Vaccines made all diseases disappear until they reappeared as super strains.
Electric cars reduced air polution to create sea polution from battery mercury.
The "War to End All Wars" Just created more and deadlier wars.
You try and save your marriage and your mate cheats on you.
You try and get a promotion and you get fired.
You try to get to your meeting early and you end up late.
Why?
HackEDU: Your Baby is a Genius, Whether You Agree or Not!
There was a time when education was the role of clan fathers (or mothers in many cultures). These Educators were not the lowest paid, under-respected, part time community members that today's teachers are. The clan matriarch / patriarch was the social, political, and economic leader of the entire tribe.
When, they taught, it was from experience. Teaching from experience enables one to teach to experience. They taught upon a child's pre-existing experiences. And children learned immediately.
They inspired and challenged the kids. Personally, I learned the entire 9 times table when I was 3. Then, I learned long multiplication, fractions, algebra, geometry, algebra 2, and trigonometry in the first half of my 3rd grade. It was all taught to me over 30minutes per day at lunch recess by a zen master whom most referred to as their 3rd grade teacher. This is how he did it:
Did you notice that we used sticks. Find me a kid who has never piled sticks on top of other. Find me a kid whose never drawn an "X," and I'll show you a kid who needs a different method of teaching multiplication.
Before setting out to teach, there are two primary considerations to always, well, consider. You've heard of Mazlow's Heirchy? Well,
1. There is a heirchy of learnability. From hardest to easiest for memory:
A. a number (like 298477640242976572974)
B. a letter (like within "Apt 4D")
C. alpha numeric mixed combinations (like your license plate)
D. a word (like that super fast talker guy's name)
E. a sentence (Quick, what's the third line of the American pledge of allegiance WITHOUT reciting the whole thing from the start!)
F. musical lyrics (like the ABC song)
2. Teach Nothing By Rote
G. a visual symb
ol (how many line segments in the VolksWagen Logo?)
H. a face (that same fast talker guy from #D)
I. music
J. a smell (like you remember everything when you get the most fleeting whiff of that one scent)
What this means for your children's education is that in order to teach how to learn A, you use B. You use an EASIER modality of comprehension to teach a HARDER one. Ironically, our neurology and senses are understand and remember more complex inputs far more readily than simple ones. (What's your spouse's birthday? vs. Where were you when you last felt intoxicated by their scent?) "You cannot solve a problem at the same level of mind that created it!" - Einstein, then Me.
So how would I teach numbers? Like THIS:
How do you teach literacy? How do you teach the alphabet in less than five minutes? We are talking about teaching "#B," you'd use "#G" like this:
Why? Think of all the mind power you could hand down to your children. Now, look around. They may need it.
So how do you use B (language) to teach A (numbers) and if you do, can your kids be as smart as the MatheMagician (Ted video)? Yes! How? See: http://rawksoup.com/genius.html (the Tao of Learning how to Learn)!
OK, now with a little practice, you'll be able to memorize credit card, bank account, and social security numbers as if they were today's news paper headlines. Or you can teach this to your children to learn how to memorize the atomic weights of each element in the periodic table of elements in one hour.
Now that we've gotten numbers out of the way, how do you teach seemingly random letters (like FE stands for Iron)? Worse yet, how do you teach absolute flawless memorization of 114 single or double letter combinations (like the entire periodic table of 114 elements above) in 5, five, cinco, cinq, oh, cuig minutes? Easy. You'd use "D" like this:
Now that you're starting to see a pattern I'll admit that yes, it is absolutely possible to teach a baby who can't walk to read. To teach the challenging nature of "Phase D" you'd skip ahead and use "H." Now you know how Daniel Tammet, the autistic savant calculates endless streams of prime numbers.

PS. My 3rd grade teacher, nope. He didn't have a fu-man-chu or mastery of the five-point-heart-stopping-palm-strike-of-death. What he had was a speach impediment from a car accident, a limp from the same, and mastery of the most powerful chi sorcery: love. (Thank you Mr. C!) - Wan Qi Kim. Friend me on FACEBOOK
