What we say has the power to influence others. We can speak truth in order to create change. There is a very short text to accompany the infographics for those who want shorter reading, with more in-depth information presented in the video at the bottom. The word abracadabra means “I create as I say. This means that we honor our […]

Belief is very powerful. We can choose to believe whatever we want, at any time, often despite the evidence to the contrary. We often choose to believe in things that are not demonstrable in reality, as if it was a demonstrable truth/reality. Knowing what a word means gives us power to use it properly. We can be masters of a […]

With all the hype around “fake news”, and the media trying to pretend like this is a new phenomenon and also creating the idea that we are in a “post-truth” era, some people in society recognize that we have always had fake news, and there are always people who aren’t interested in the truth of reality. One such person is […]

Someone once commented on a Facebook post of mine: “Research suggests that logical arguments and facts are not what drives change. What really matters is how we make others feel.” Emotions can lead us to accept or reject valid information. This is true.

A large part of who we are as an ego-personality-identity self-construct, is socially engineered through our environment. Conformity to the standardized norms of acceptability imbues a certain pattern of thought and behavior. Our conditioning into a certain pattern and way of living produces a level of consciousness. Are we living responsibility if we continue to live through our unthinking, programmed […]

Do appearances matter? They sure do for most of us, unfortunately all too much. Many of us judge people on superficial qualities when we encounter their appearances: if they are groomed, shaven, have a haircut, have nice clothes, have a nice car, have a nice house, have a nice job, etc. One of the most powerful influences is what people […]

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” I’m sure many people have heard this, especially those who have initiated themselves into an “awakening” of looking into reality more deeply, possibly getting into “conspiracy” research to uncover the hidden machinations going on in the world. Origin Where does this saying come from? What are the meanings […]
