Creative Intelligence

This is not the sort of intelligence that our education systems are programmed to develop in our young people.

Our education systems were historically designed around the needs of society during the Industrial Revolution. That was to produce a  cheap/skilled and semi-literate labour force. From this perspective not much seems to have changed (with languages and Maths forming the predominant subjects) except that we have now moved towards an Information Technology based revolution which requires that our young people are kept up to date in using the latest technologies.

These outdated systems do nothing to encourage and foster creativity. Such systems are based on a limited understanding of the definition of intelligence. One that assumes that we are all very much the same and that our abilities to understand and operate within society are quite similar and linear. That is – subject to our genes and socio-economic position we can pretty much all be trained to be good little workers who will continue to enslave ourselves for the benefit of those with power and money.

Too Many Spirits and Not Enough Spirit!

Well the festive season is upon us again!

We are again confronted by the usual madness that seems to infect Christian based societies this time of year.

Let’s eat, drink, spend and be merry as we eagerly anticipate the arrival of that large, red cheeked gentleman from the North Pole dressed in that hard to miss red suit and his rather large sack of goodies. Ho ho ho!

The rampant and manic consumerism that pervades this time of year seems to have attained epic proportions no doubt fuelled by desperate retailers who have just experienced what can only be described as a couple of years of retail hell!

Traditionally Christmas is a time of giving (nothing wrong with that). Yet we all feel the pressure of expectation from those (particularly children) close to us who at least to our observations seek to measure their value to us comensurate with the size and expense of the gift that we give them. Continue reading

It’s a Kind of Magic!

While those very words have been immortalised in song by the late great Freddy Mercury we can also relate them to something far more directly personal to all of us.

We live our lives as master magicians in our own magic show. We consistently manage to pull the rabbit out of the hat and blindly convince ourselves that we are indeed magical whereas in reality it is all slight of hand or mind to be more exact? Continue reading

Endings and New Beginnings

This is what underpins all life in this physical world of matter.

The old is transformed into the new. Its not so much an ending but more of a continuation of life at a different level. Focus on the end of the physical world as we know it is a product of of old thinking which sees life through the lens of external power and dominance over others and our external environments.

On a larger scale our individual lives continue to be impacted by larger cycles ending and beginning. The history of evolution reveals the bigger picture. Evolution is designed to compliment these cycles – big cycles and great cycles that operate throughout the known and unknown universe. These cycles move through physical form at different speeds and serve different purposes including a balancing of energies. Continue reading

Feeling Tempted?

Ever since Adam and Eve’s battle with temptation and the serpent in the Garden of Eden we humans have been afflicted with the same battle as we deal with or simply give into the internal conflict we experience through the competing needs of our splintered personalities.

The religious icon of the “Devil” or “Lucifer” has always historically been regarded as a bringer of darkness. Yet the actual definition of “Lucifer” means “bringer of light”! Why light and not darkness? This definition makes sense when you consider that all those temptations we experience in the long run prove to be positive if we can face the temptation through making consciously responsible choices in the face of such temptations. Continue reading

Are You Intuit?

As five sensory human beings we rely primarily upon knowledge and logic to navigate our way through our everyday lives. 

As multi-sensory human beings we have unlimited access to the guidance of not only our higher selves but of other more evolved energies. This guidance is often referred to as intuition.

So how do we access this intuition and how do we differentiate between it and our logical mind? Continue reading

Karma or Just Bad Luck?

At the very core of everything is pure energy.

Our physical environment, our thoughts, our actions are all representations of energy vibrating at different frequency levels.

Karma is all about the balancing of these energies. There is no such thing as good luck or bad luck. We create our own destinies through our conscious or unconscious intent and consequent action taken.

When you consider that all of life is very much a balancing act then this all makes sense. What I find more amazing is that Karma (or the process of energy balancing) can take many lifetimes. Indeed what we are currently experiencing in our current incarnation can quite possibly be the result of choices made in previous lifetimes (but that is another story in itself).

So how does this Karmatic process work? Continue reading
