Consciousness - The Last True Frontier

When I first was confronted with looking at my consciousness it was a pretty scary thing. After all I was convinced that I knew my consciousness. None of us like to think that we live unconscious lives.

For those of us who come from rational education and backgrounds, the idea that we can influence our consciousness may seem somewhat strange. After all science, especially the medical sciences, talk about being conscious or unconscious. My attitude was that I am conscious, read more »

Where Do Thoughts Come From?

This is such a fascinating question to ponder. There are the physiological explanations (I am not going to talk about them). But they don’t really satisfy my curiosity.

No matter what we do in life, we think. If not purposefully, then automatically. Thoughts are constantly running through our minds. Incessantly. Without our awareness. Without any efforts on our part.

If you have ever tried meditation you know what I am talking about. You can also observe this without meditation. Just put everything down for two minutes, and sit quietly and try NOT read more »

The article received a lot of comments, remarks and questions. To my great surprise some of the comments were in a line and of a character I had not expected. These comments made me think and think hard. That’s why I like comments on what I write, no matter where.

I have been involved with what I will here call “structured” personal development for more than 25 years. And like with so many things in life I take it for granted that people know, what that stands for.

From the comments I realized that what I understand as self development and conscious awareness is not read more »

RED For Independence or Support Group

One of the things that has been part of my life from as far back as I can remember, is my intense need to independence. It is probably something in my genes, but it was reinforced through what probably started as a joke.

My mother used to tell me that the first words I learned to say were: I (can) myself. Now that is cute and wonderful read more »
