    On this episode of OPO I cover the first 4 books of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. If you'd like to read along, you can purchase my copy at this link.  Meditations Notes: Meditations book 1 Debts and lessons Aurelius belabors how important private education is. This is really because roman education was essentially private anyways He spends a good time talking on the values of duty, honor and logic. Don’t tell someone you’re too busy unless you really are He details how he was indebted to the gods. This was really moreso him being grateful for his lot in life. To be self reliant To master your emotions. Book 2: on the river gran, among the Quadi Do not let yourself be distracted. What is a distraction, anger, jealousy, dishonesty etc… “Throw away your books” “despise your flesh” What should never be forgotten The nature of the world Your nature How you relate to the world What portion of it you make up That you are a part of nature and no one can stop you from acting in harmony with it Everything is just an impression -Monimus the Cynic The human soul degrades itself When overpowered by pleasure or pain When it turns its back on another or sets out to do harm To secede from the world When it wears a mask When it has an action or impulse without purpose Nothing natural is evil Description of human life: duration: momentary Nature: changeable Perception: dim Condition of body: decaying Soul: in flux Fortune: unpredictable Lasting fame: uncertain Sum: the body and its parts are a river and the soul a misty dream. Life is war and a journey far from home, lasting reputation is oblivion. Book 3: In Carnuntum Hurry, your time is limited Everything, while it may not be appealing on its own. Is perfect since it has its specific role In the grand order. Dont waste time worrying about others unless it concerns the common good. Eliminate the random or irrelevant How to Act: Never act out of compulsion, selfishness without thought or misgivings Dont sugarcoat Nothing unneccesary Only in death does duty end cheerfulness Stand straight, do not stand straightened Keep your philosophy handy. It will be neccesary to explain things you encounter. “All things are linked by the chain” Stop drifting, you’re not going to do something like re read an old book. Don’t delude yourself. Sprint for the finish. Book 4: People do everything in their power to get away from it all. They are acting idiotic. They can escape the world at any time by looking inward. Rational beings exist for one another Doing what’s right takes patience Nobody does the wrong thing deliberately Those who have reap the bitter reward You will be reduced to nothing Your memory will eventually fade Your existence will eventually be forgotten There is no reason to worry, just do your best. But do what you want for the satisfaction it gives you not the clout.

    On this episode I start my coverage of the prince. This book is a great piece of literature on political strategy even today. While some of the things don't apply today like killing your secretaries things like his rules to power do. Hopefully you learn lessons you can use in business and in life. Something to think about: "defend your weak neighbors and undermine the strong ones. "

    On this episode I go into the basic tenets of Theology as it has interested me lately, I learned quite a bit and i hope that you learn something to.   Sources:  Economy of God Amazon link to the Catechism Five Ways Proof of Thomas Aquinas   Thought Experiment:  its stated within the in brief section of verse 226, that if human beings could fully understand the idea of god, he would not be a god. This is a solid idea. I want you to stop and take a seat, clear your mind and try to conceptualize god. Use all the conditions of the Judeo christian interpretation. How would you rationalize a being of infinite scope that has essentially unlimited potential.
