Turning over a new Leaf (or maybe that should be snowball)

I've be berating myself for not posting anything lately. You know the whole story the best laid plans ..... something about not hatching. At least I started a few and well they will find there way and get posted I'm sure. But I have come to the discovery of one truly important thing in my life, and that is of course my daughter.

Now I'm sure if you have read a previous post you would know that my daughter was finally assessed with Dyslexia, of course to be politically correct and to not want to put a label on anyone of course they didn't exactly use those terms. So for the sake of political correctness she has some learning disabilities. Hmmmm....... I don't know I think I would rather people know I'm dyslexic than well just make things even more difficult and make it even broader by not giving people a clue. Just my two cents. The thing is it's been a bit of a roller coaster not only for my daughter but for me. Which was a shock for me. I am surprised by my reaction and discovery that I really truly don't know much about learning disabilities or dyslexia or the such. However, this has given me the opportunity to - in support of my daughter - learn.

There are a few amazing facts that I am learning, one is that roughly 20% of the population is affected by some type of learning disability. My assumption would be though that this would be of those tested. So in a population of 32 million people that would mean that 6.4 million people have some form of learning difficulties.

Now one thing I have learned and learned very quickly is that learning disabilities are not really disabilities if anything it is the common learners that indeed have the disability in not being able to view a different perspective. So it turns out, it really should be viewed as a gift. For instance dyslexics are three dimensional viewers. Imagine if you can when you look at something, anything that in order for you to actually process the information it would be much easier for your brain if it would literally jump right off the page such as a 3 dimensional hologram.

Now the number one most difficult issue I have as well as I'm sure most parents of these types of learners has is wanting to see them learn, seeing them accomplish good grades and many other things what we would call regular everyday normal childhood experiences. I think as common thinkers we have lost sight of the fact that indeed we are the ones who have much to learn here and really why is it that we must put people in a box and label it in order to make ourselves feel better. It's very unenlightened. Especially if you take into consideration that there have been many great wonderful outside of the box thinkers in history, not to mention the ones we don't know about. For a list of famous dyslexics all you have to do is just Google, but for me the most impressive of them would be Da Vinci mostly I would think for the reason he would see no barriers in terms of his thinking. Anything was Possible!

The challenge as i see it is to be able to learn as much from the dyslexic and learning challenged point of perspective and to employ more three dimensional type learning into everyday life. And though most people would have to say "why?" my response would inevitably be that the world is changing, faster than we truly know and it could very well be that 3 dimensional thinkers would be the ones to lead us forward in leaps and bounds. Instead of making everything conform for our own comfort why not take the challenge.

Let's face it I've gotten a little ahead of myself. not unusual for me, there is no massive millions of disposable income rattling around me at the moment to ensure this kind of change. A catalyst maybe, inspiring change would be a joy. And this is in fact one of the reasons I am writing this and that would be to raise money which is something I can do.


Thanks with much love.

The new world

So here it is......... haven't been doing much art lately. Yeah it's true sometimes we get sidetracked. Well not art in the terms of me being in that specific mind space.

Truthfully if you think about it, all of life is art and art is life. We are forever creating in everything we do. There is a plan in place for me to get into that space but right now my mind is on energy. And energy is definitely leaving it wide open.

Wide open to the fact that just as life is art, all is energy, creativity is the manipulation of energy to achieve a specific goal. All thought requires energy to have a thought, and the energy that is applied to that thought results in a reaction, action and ultimately creation of an outcome.

I could go even further. For instance humans possess something even greater than our minds. Our Spirits, which is the one thing that connects us to everything, and everyone. It is the network of the unseen that intuitive knowing, where all answers to all questions exist. It's just a matter of us being able to tap into it. It's also what could be considered the human dilemma.
And the only reason I say this I would have to give you an example. (be patient this is all being automatically written)
It is our spirits nature to only do what is for our best interest, however, in saying that and knowing human nature that isn't always the case. The decisions that humans make are egocentric, that's one of the easily identifying characteristics of our species. Taking this into consideration it makes it hard for us to tap into that intuitive knowing easily unless possibly faced with a very traumatic situation.

It's in my opinion that our brains are just much to busy in thought to truly quiet itself to hear, or in the case our intuition to feel what is best. There is a lot written about these very things in many different ways for many different people. It should seem very easy, but than why isn't it easy. What is it about our human nature that just absolutely has to get in the way. For some would say it's conditioning and some would have you think it's your beliefs. Ultimately we are perfect and we have the tools to tap into this. The things is we live busy lives, we do what we must to survive and that in itself is proving that we don't believe, we don't believe that we will be provided for. It's our fear of the unknown that stops us for if we truly believed there would be a safe place a safe space for us to be able to learn and achieve mastery in these tools without the fear of knowing where our next meal will be coming from or whether we have a roof over our heads.

I do believe there is a solution out there and yes I haven't felt it yet, but I do feel it exists. I do believe that one of the reasons we don't accept these solutions is because our own egos get in the way. We are too proud. In a lot of instances we were taught pride where indeed we should have been taught humbleness and gratitude. In our brightly painted and marketed world can gratitude be real. Do we even know what to be grateful for. As humans separate themselves from each other more and more and cause drama and trauma in each other lives can we truly feel the gratitude.

It's with this in mind I ask - who do you have to be grateful for?
What scenarios in your life do you have to be grateful for? Yes even in the bad scenarios or what you might be considered to be bad or traumatic, what can you be grateful for there too? It's often there we uncover our innermost gratitude and that would be for our courage, our faith, our hope in what we believe to be good.

I am grateful to you, for having read this, and if I could gift to you anything it would be to ask questions and explore.
Turn off the automatic pilot, take a deep breath and jump in.

With love always
