Insights To RealityWe have become over-regulated in many areas and under regulated in the most important areas.Regulations justifiably emerged in many areas of our global systems but have in recent times gone into ‘overkill’ with a multiplicity of regulations being enacted in all areas. As a result of the financial crash of 2008 in the US, which then affected the entire world, we in Ireland and in many other countries in the western world introduced a spate of regulations which began reasonably but soon spiralled out of control. Under the pretence of developing the efficacy of the governing systems many countries have become highly over-regulated. The result is that we are now over-regulated in many areas like...2022-03-2505 min
Insights To RealityAre our social systems crashing or just evolving?We are the most amazing creatures capable of such majestic dreams and realities and the worst and most horrible nightmares and atrocities. We can consciously decide what we will manifest in the world around us. Even science through quantum mechanics is now admitting that we create the world around us and so if we do, why not create the perfect world of our dreams and not of our nightmares.There have been polar shifts in world Religions, international politics and international markets. Evidence of this can be seen in the difference between the last two Popes in...2022-03-1807 min
Insights To RealityHow we were reared and our educational system has affected who we areWe are all different, but parents and teachers usually adopt the presupposition that the child will have the same experiences as they had. The reality is far from the truth. Because the world is changing so fast and so dramatically the assumption that our children will have similar worldly experiences to us is naïve. How could they? The world system is so far removed from generation to generation. The truly successful ones do not accept the inherited beliefs and faith of their predecessors but forge their own subject to their desired reality.You just can’t app...2022-03-1104 min
Insights To RealityIs the Intellect Out Of ControlAs a race humanity’s evolution is stuck at the mental intellectual level at the expense of the other facets of our being. We crave the search for meaning because it involves the greatest activity for the mind and there is no end to it. The journey towards finding meaning is a very stimulating and intoxicating feature for our mind. It also makes us feel more powerful by engaging our Ego, always having to unravel or analyze the meaning of something or some experience. We constantly trigger the intellect and stay in this continuous pattern of compulsive thought....2022-03-0405 min
Insights To RealityMy Mental Health History and IllnessI know from personal experience when in that depressed state nothing makes sense. Options to change one’s life, solutions to other challenges all fall on deaf ears and don’t penetrate the dampened intellectual mental reasoning to see the true nature and recoverability of the issue. There is a feeling of no way out no matter what solution is presented often described as a black cloud surrounding the head. The chemical imbalance in the brain is such that the brain cannot recognize the answers to the problem. It gets stuck on the immediate present imbalanced focus without being able...2022-02-2511 min
Insights To RealityThe Effects of the Covid-19 PandemicJust as we were beginning to find a position of stability in our financial and economic lives, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged adversely affecting us all in the most profound ways. With the scars still fresh from the financial and property crash we began to question our security in life. The mental illness pandemic has threatened our ability to make the ‘right’ choices and we now are beginning to question our personal security, democratic rights, and freedom of choice in terms of the very fabric of our society. The Covid pandemic and our reaction to it politically and social...2022-02-1805 min

I’ve changed and the world around me has followed suit.
