Intellectual Money

I must discuss freely here my own philosophy on monetary matters, that of the brain and the world to come.  Its my philosophy that in the world to come, we are to keep the intellectual architecture of our lifetimes worth of memories and knowledge.  It is said of a Torah student that they take all of their learning to the next world.  This must be true of other learning at some capacity as well as it relates to matters of truth in the universe.  That said, let me introduce to you the concept of intellectual money.   Money is somthing that can be exchanged for goods, services or power.  I hereby relate that what you know is money and that what you know can be expressed in many forms over and over again.  Thereby you may in fact increase the wealth of the universe.  Learn and keep learning.  Read as much as you can.  Visual learning is also learning.  Movies are interesting but lack some of the verbal inputs.  I assure you that most of the visual displays in a movie have no monetary value as I see it.  For example I watched a scene in the Bourne Identity tonight.  The dialogue was minuscule and the scenery was bland and lacked a refreshing power.   I must say that I am not a big connoisseur of the films these days. I may get into at this rate maybe one a year at best.   I did miss the movies of yesterday. Somthing tells me that they were better. Is hollywood running out of creativity or are all the experts in retirement or gone? 
I must say that to learn is to improve the neural architecture of your brain.  Dendritic connections and synapses form instantaneously I do believe. The mind is a plastic substance that is always in flux.  It goes from concept to hopefully concept and has a flow. At least my own thinking does seem to follow this paradigm.  I must say that verbal attributes are learned and hopefully improved upon in the entire lifetime.  The men who are considered Torah Greats or Gadols are the most exceptional in their learning.  Take an opportunity to visit the works of Great Rabbi Avigdor Miller, Z'TL if you may some day.  I will post a link to one of my favorite of his works if you wish to read more.   He was an exceptional student and would notations upon notations on notecards throughout his lifetime and keep them in his pockets. I have not listened to any though he is famous for his numerous audio tapes that are online if you wish to search for them.   Awake my Glory is a book that I found to be intellectually stimulating.  Rabbi Miller was an avid writer.  He left all of his intellectual money to the universe.  Access  it.  Its excellent Jewish Religious Philosophy.



In addition, the Torah teaches us that all of our aspirations and learnings are contained in our spirit that lasts eternally.  I do believe this to be true in my beliefs.  I must say that I have not yet ascertained my own unique place in this universe at the entirety that I imagine I may find myself useful to humanity and useful to my family and friends.  I hope that this blog is my way of imparting my own intellectual money on a big media that can reach people, perhaps for generations.  Its called spending your money.  I'll do it for sure.  Thanks!
