The karmic returns are beginning to flow .........

Yes, I've had a bit of a lay-off and whilst there are plenty of reasons there's certainly no excuses. Thankfully it it has just been a function of extreme busyness and not all business either. even so the networking side of things is really picking up and I have been privileged to meet some really interesting people of late. That's not to say that those I have met previously are not really interesting too but the latter ones justify the earlier ones in that the connections between them all become more and more powerful. The seems to be hardly a person with whom I cannot make a connection with someone else. I have long said that the six degrees of separation in the world translates to point five here in Perth! Of course a good deal of my connectivity is not down to me at all but is made possible by the activities of those that I meet and their own proactive natures. And what is the purpose of all this? Firstly it's just plain good fun and secondly it promotes the possibility of being able to solve problems, whether they be mine or those of others, in a more more human, personal and referenced manner. The karmic returns are beginning to flow and whereas many meetings at the outset seem to be somewhat limited they are in truth only limited by the relative openness of one's mind and time and they are rarely limiting. The only limiting factor is the increased possibility of conflicts of interest but most of those issues can easily be managed away or precluded by upfront candour. What has been evident of late with the support of social networking groups and communications in general is that one has to try very hard not to be found, the mobility of people used to severe the lines but these days one is more likely to "put it out there" or be the subject of genuine enquiry. I recently met a person whom I have never met before from a country that I have never been to and was challenged to recall our first meeting! I was "known" but it turned out that I had "been Googled" and the person had recognized me from my online photographs. Such is the nature of the internet and the unexpected impacts of our own and/or others' actions. The rise of the "tagged" photograph is a case in point. Ramifications, unexpected consequences, un-looked or undesirable outcomes are the downsides of all the positives of being wired in in this wireless world of ours. Best regards, Jonathan.
