The Virtual Castle of Lord Mhor

Gravity sucks and energy blows.
Our universe spins as it vibrates and flows.
The rules of this process are always the same.
To succeed is to thrive in this great cosmic game.
While we live we create but quite soon will disperse.
What we do with this fate makes life better or worse.
Words form our thoughts and our deeds are then done.
We forge Heaven and Hell every day, everyone!

Pleasure, Victory, Health, Wealth, Power, Skill, and Wisdom

The essence of these is Fulfillment:

To achieve the outcomes of pleasure, victory, health, wealth, power, skill, and wisdom, cultivate a balanced life by pursuing your passions, working persistently towards your goals, taking care of your physical and mental health, making sound financial decisions, building solid relationships, continuously learning and growing, and using your knowledge and power to help others.

Rather than being commercial, I'll suggest exactly how you can gain all these results. Ready?

Take each word above and study it deeply. Query any search engine or — better yet — use one or more generative AI platforms. Ask the following question for each word:

"What are the best 30 books and other resources to learn about [fill in the word here]?"

Organize a list of the resulting resources, including ISBN or websites, and start getting your hands on these resources.

Acquire them.. Buy them, use libraries, or get at them by any means possible.

Study them using all the free time you can muster. Focus on this.

Do what you learn about and reap the many benefits.

That's it! Thank you for attending my TED Talk. Have fun! Thrive!

My father was a PhD physicist, Dr. Franklin P. Dixon, who flew B-29 bombers for the United States Air Force then become the Director of Manned Planetary Mission Studies for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the 1960s. If you enjoy physics, you can read his PhD thesis "Photoproduction of Positive Pions from Hydrogen in the 600 to 1000 MEV Region" (to directly download his 153 page 5.3MB thesis in .pdf format from the CalTech archives Click Here). My mother supported him at CalTech by creating art and drafting for scientists like Linus Pauling.

After NASA, we moved to Belgium. My father worked with IT&T on behalf of NATO, engaging in unspecified activities. Living near the Soviet embassy in Brussels was very interesting under these circumstances. I roamed museums and castles throughout Europe for several years while attending school in Waterloo. Passing that huge mound of 1815 battlefield debris daily gave me a deep appreciation for strategy and history.

When we returned to the United States I survived public high school, then studied biophysics and rhetoric at UC Berkeley. I eventually picked up three related associate degrees, worked in several industries, and learned that (according to thermodynamics) hot air is extremely powerful stuff. I use this revelation daily, as I'm developing a career as a Content Marketing Strategist.

Recreationally, I have enjoyed the Society for Creative Anachronism where I was honored with an Award of Arms, earning the right to call myself "Lord Deron Creag Mhor" with the Coat of Arms below. Mace and shield were my weapons of choice out on the tourney field. I also taught archery at the NorCal Renaissance Pleasure Faire, play-tested a number of role-playing publications, wrote reviews as the Northwest US Correspondent for Roleplayers Chronicle, and have been running convention games for decades. Horticulture is my other main hobby.
