3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
After an enjoyable few days, my fifties proper start today. I am determined to get the most out of them! Subject to events, my agenda for the decade is:

To learn to play piano and guitar.
To quit the Weekend Job and be part of a thriving complementary therapy business.
To make a difference every day, to myself, others and the environment.
To experience life continually from the perspective of the Higher Self, as the Universe from a single point in space and time.

It has taken me this long to just to awaken. No regrets though. A thorough experience of living from the perspective of a frequently lost, lonely and frightened individual amidst many others has led me to greater appreciate the contrast with understanding what "me" really is. It's a priviledge to have this particular life experience.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Do you want to understand who you really are and what you're doing?

8. TRIVIA
A superorganism is many organisms acting as one. Superorganisms evolve when there is plenty of habitat to exploit but the organisms can't grow bigger. Insects are limited in size because they breathe by simple diffusion which isn't feasible in large moving animals. Instead, many individuals with almost the same genes work together. The superorganism can then grow by producing more individuals. Examples of superorganisms include ants, bees, wasps and termites.

Each individual has no "mind" of its own. Its' actions are determined by hormones that are produced and passed on by the Queen, which serves as both the brain and the reproductive system.

An alternative structure is the group, in which individuals with their own minds co-operate for mutual benefit. Many different types of animals including humans exhibit this behaviour. Unlike superorganisms, the individuals in a group have their own agendas, so there is often conflict and competition within the group, usually over mating rights. So long as death and injury from these conflicts are suitably limited, the group remains viable and an effective means of survival.
