 Mahatma Gandhi How to Awaken the Greatness within You by Raymond Gerson. The power to make a positive difference comes primarily from within. It has more to do with who we are than what we say. This is why Mahatma Gandhi said, "My life is my teaching" and "Be the change you want to see in the world". Our example speaks louder than words, but our words are also a reflection of who we are as a person.
Gandhi is a great example of someone who transformed himself and the lives of many others when he shifted from self-consciousness to other-consciousness. From childhood to early adulthood, Gandhi felt awkward and self-conscious. He was shy and had many fears. Only when he became captivated by a passionate mission- a sense of purpose larger than himself-was he able to transcend his fears. |

 The Dali Lama Karmic Astrology and Your Current Incarnation by Martin Schulman. It is always amazing to watch people who are proficient at what they do, and the better they are, the more we are in awe. Yet, it also makes us wonder about the source of their accomplishments, especially when some of the world's greatest achievers never even finished school. We see young children capable of complex chess games, teenagers who can excel at sports way beyond what we would expect of them, and even adults whose rise to brilliance in some endeavor seems disproportionately advanced for their life circumstances.
Could it be that the human memory is not of one life alone? Maybe the soul remembers things on quite a subconscious level that it has gained experiences with in former lifetimes. Then, in this life, all it takes to trigger these memories is some similar catalyst, an event, a word from a loved one, that somehow unlocks access to these hidden memories and makes it possible for the person to continue where their soul left off. |

 Plato & Aristotle Learn From Plato- Suspend Your Judgment by John Cyr. “You are young and as the years go by, time will change and even reverse many of your present opinions. Refrain therefore awhile from setting yourself up as a judge of the highest matters.” – Plato
It is one of the wisest pieces of advice ever given. This advice is 2400 years old. It was given to us by the greatest Greek philosopher known to humans; Plato. The advice is: Refrain from judgment! This is one of the principles behind the adult learning theory known as transformative learning which I will be writing more on in days to come. Principally, adults should spend most of their time re-learning what they have learned. You will see what I mean as you read on. |
