I find it fascinating that, more than 50 years after his death, Einstein is still the name we associate with genius. I’m sure this is partly because no one has disproved his theory of relativity but also because he was a very different kind of scientist to the largely reductionist types we see today. In fact, he thought of himself as religious. Reading some of his quotes this morning I realise … [Read more...] about Why Einstein is the gift that keeps on giving

Plug in to wisdom and surf the web of life
I’ve just returned from an entertaining and enlightening day in the presence of authors/coaches/inspirational speakers Robert Holden and Michael Neill. Among the many nuggets they shared with us was the following metaphor. If you were given the choice of a sophisticated computer with a huge hard drive that wasn’t connected to the Internet or a sleek laptop with a fast broadband connection, what … [Read more...] about Plug in to wisdom and surf the web of life

Come into the light, why don’t you…
My sacred schedule dictates that I must write a daily post. It’s late because I’ve been at an all-day gathering of like-minded souls who are on a similar path. We learned a lot about ourselves today; my discovery was that there is a part of me that feels the need to get the answer right and another part that likes to be right all the time. There is a difference. The part that needs to come … [Read more...] about Come into the light, why don’t you…
