This is my last posting on Sourcesense.

I have been very kindly and professionally approached by the CEO of http://www.sourcesense.com in August this year.
This company is a very successful European based IT Firm, which has been running for five years. There is clash between the name of the company and the name of my blog, which I wasn’t aware of before.
Although he reassured me that this is a minor problem, but as this is their trade name and they are running a successful business under this name I felt obliged to withdraw.
As a new father he enjoyed reading my blog and I enjoyed sharing my thoughts and feelings with all my readers.
I wish http://www.sourcesense.com/ and all my readers all the very best in the future.

Isn’t it interesting that tomorrow is my birthday? A new beginning... I have been sorting, clearing and renovating my house and my office.
This is the last thing I had to give away to start fresh.

‘Scribbles & scribes’

It has been a rather interesting journey for me until now in this three dimensional time and space reality on Planet Earth.

Born in Hungary… studied at Petö …travelled the world and observed how people treat their vulnerable fellow humans…how people relate to each other, how they treat animals and how they treat their own natural habitats in different cultures and with different belief systems…
Personally experienced and watched the ‘set ups’ of the education and health systems…
Had first hand experience of witnessing my responses, reactions to them and also their affects on me and my affect on them…

A new beginning… a new chapter in my book of life.

In Anno Domini October 2009

The above is just the preface to the next adventure…

What a lovely journey...All is well. Thank you M. Z D and Team ☺...

When there's a shadow you reach for the sun

When there is love in you, look for the one

And for the promises, there is the sky

And for the heavens are those who can fly

Chorus

If you really want to, you can hear me say

Only if you want to will you find a way

If you really want to you can seize the day

Only if you want to will you fly away

When there's a journey you follow a star

When there's an ocean you sail from afar

And for the broken heart there is the sky

And for tomorrow are those who can Fly

Special 25th Anniversary

It has been 25 years since we graduated from the Petö Institute after our 4-year training.
For this special anniversary I received an invitation to attend a reunion. For the graduates of 1984 it will be held at Tanne Restaurant 2092 Budakeszi, 6 Esze Tamas Street on 21st October 2009.
The organiser is still searching for Varga Marianna. If anyone of my readers know of her whereabouts please contact Zilahine Hegyi Eva at zheva@zilcar.t-online.hu.
The photograph shows some of the children and myself at Petö. I was only 18 then. It seems such a long time ago, but I remember it as if it was yesterday.

Twitter

I just arrived from Bled, Slovenia. I spent an amazing five days studying my favourite subject. After opening my blog I was horrified that my twitter link, which I published on this blog, was invaded by some disgraceful links. I am seriously considering deleting my twitter account. I cannot keep an eye on it as I travel often.
At first instance all I could do is to remove the Twitter link from my blog.
I do apologise to all my readers who were exposed to such unnecessary and disturbing links. I am very sorry for this.

'What is an indigo Child?
As a summary, here are the ten attributes that best describe this new kind of child, the Indigo Child
They come into the world with a feeling of royalty (and often act like it)
They have a feeling of "deserving to be here," and are surprised when others don't share that.
Self-worth is not a big issue. They often tell the parents "who they are."
They have difficulty with absolute authority (authority without explanation or choice).
They simply will not do certain things; for example, waiting in line is difficult for them.
They get frustrated with systems that are ritually oriented and don't require creative thought.
They often see better ways of doing things, both at home and in school, which makes them seem like "system busters" (nonconforming to any system).
They seem antisocial unless they are with their own kind. If there are no others of like consciousness around them, they often turn inward, feeling like no other human understands them. School is often extremely difficult for them socially.
They will not respond to "guilt" discipline ("Wait till your father gets home and finds out what you did").
They are not shy in letting you know what they need.and... just in case you heard otherwise from other "indigo" sources, the designated word "Indigo" has nothing to do with the color of an aura! It is the result of scientific observations by a woman who has the brain disorder called synesthesia.'

Leave no one behind...World Suicide Prevention Day

Stress and experience of emotional pain are part of everyday life. They can make us sharper, more focused, and more acutely aware - all of which can heighten performance. But if we have too much stress from too many sources - it can seem overwhelming and paralysing.
At this day and age all of us have a lot coming at us… our jobs, our families, and also the responsibilities of taking care of someone and of ourselves. We mustn’t underestimate all of the demands of life and we mustn’t judge others and ourselves too harsh.
If we can we mustn’t judge at all.
We live and work in a high performing and critical environment and if the recognition we receive is low it affects our effectiveness.

Recognise your teammates and those who work for you. Look around and see who needs a helping hand, engage others to help too. Leave no one behind. Take care of your friends, family and your team. Help each other. Communicate.



September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. Run by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and in official relations with the World Health Organisation (WHO), this is a day dedicated to raising awareness for preventing suicidal behaviour.
*Some facts about suicide:
Britain has one of the highest suicide rates in Europe
Each year in the UK over 5000 people take their own life
The Samaritans estimate that in the UK there is a suicide every 82 minutes
Each day, two people under the age of 24 commit suicide
In the UK, suicide has taken over from road accidents as the number one cause of death for young adult males aged 18-24
Suicide statistics show that in the UK, at least 16 children kill themselves each year because they are being bullied at school.

Can you do it?

Don’t go against yourself.
Don’t create circumstances that go against you.


Don’t align with someone who is going against you.


Could you? Would you? When?

Summer thoughts... A cup of tea

'Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"


If You Love, Love Openly

Twenty monks and one nun, who was named Eshun, were practicing meditation with a certain Zen master.

Eshun was very pretty even though her head was shaved and her dress plain. Several monks secretly fell in love with her. One of them wrote her a love letter, insisting upon a private meeting.

Eshun did not reply. The following day the master gave a lecture to the group, and when it was over, Eshun arose. Addressing the one who had written her, she said: "If you really love me so much, come and embrace me now."


Calling Card

Keichu, the great Zen teacher of the Meiji era, was the head of Tofuku, a cathedral in Kyoto. One day the governor of Kyoto called upon him for the first time.

His attendant presented the card of the governor, which read: Kitagaki, Governor of Kyoto.

"I have no business with such a fellow," said Keichu to his attendant. "Tell him to get out of here."The attendant carried the card back with apologies. "That was my error," said the governor, and with a pencil he scratched out the words Governor of Kyoto. "Ask your teacher again."

"Oh, is that Kitagaki?" exclaimed the teacher when he saw the card. "I want to see that fellow."'

From 'Zen stories to tell your neighbours'

Chief Seattle's letter 1854...

But how can you buy or sell the sky, the land?

The idea is strange to us. If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?

"How can you buy the sky?

How can you own the rain and the wind?

My father said to me,

I know the sap that courses through the trees,

as I know the blood that flows through my veins.

We are part of the earth as it is part of us.

The perfumed flowers are our sisters.

The bear, the deer, the great eagle,

these are our brothers.

The rocky crests, the meadows, the ponies,

all belong to the same family.

The voice of my ancestors said to me,

The shining water that moves in the streams

and rivers is not simply water

but the blood of your grandfather's grandfather.

Each ghostly reflection in the clear waters of the lakes

tells memories in the life of our people.

The water's murmur is the life of your great-great-grandmother.

The rivers are our brothers.

They quench our thirst.

They carry our canoes

and feed our children.

You must give to the rivers the kindness

you would give any brother.

The voice of my grandfather said to me:

The air is precious.

It shares its spirit with all the life it supports.

The wind that gave me my first breath

also receives my last sigh.

You must keep the land and air apart

and sacred as a place where one can go to taste the wind

that is sweetened by the meadow flowers.

The voice of my grandmother said to me:

Teach your children what you have been taught.

The earth is our mother.

What befalls the earth

befalls all the sons and daughters of the earth.

Hear my voice and the voice of my ancestors,

Chief Seattle said.

The destiny of our people is a mystery to us.

What will happen when the buffalo are all slaughtered?

The wild horses tamed?

What will happen when the secret corners of the forest

are heavy with the scent of many men?

When the view of the ripe hills is blotted by talking wires?

Where will the eagle be?

And what will happen

when we say good-bye to the swift pony and the hunt?

It will be the end of living,

and the beginning of survival.

This we know:

All things are connected like the blood that unites us.

We did not weave the web of life,

we are merely a strand in it.

Whatever we do to the web we do to ourselves.

We love this earth

as a newborn loves its mother's heartbeat.

If we sell our land,

care for it as we have cared for it.

Hold in your mind the memory of the land

as it is when you receive it.

Preserve the land and the air

and the rivers for your children's children and

love it as we have loved it."

Note: The oration and the origin of the text maybe controversial, but it doesn’t take away the depth and the value of the meaning.

Matrix - The pill

"The question is not about pills, but what they stand for in these circumstances. The question is asking us whether reality, truth, is worth pursuing.
The blue pill will leave us as we are, in a life consisting of habit, of things we believe we know. We are comfortable, we do not need truth to live. The blue pill symbolises commuting to work every day, or brushing your teeth.
The red pill is an unknown quantity. We are told that it can help us to find the truth. We don't know what that truth is, or even that the pill will help us to find it. The red pill symbolises risk, doubt and questioning. In order to answer the question, you can gamble your whole life and world on a reality you have never experienced.
However, in order to investigate which course of action to take we need to investigate why the choice is faced. Why should we even have to decide whether to pursue truth?The answer in short, is inquisitiveness. Many people throughout human existence have questioned and enquired. Most of them have not been scientists or doctors or philosophers, but simply ordinary people asking 'what if?' or 'why?' Asking these questions ultimately leads us to a choice.Do you continue to ask and investigate, or do you stop and never ask again? This in essence, is the question posed to Neo in the film.So what are the advantages of taking the blue pill? As one of the characters in the film says, "ignorance is bliss" Essentially, if the truth is unknown, or you believe that you know the truth, what is there to question or worry about?
By accepting what we are told and experience life can be easier. There is the social pressure to 'fit in', which is immensely strong in most cultures. Questioning the status quo carries the danger of ostracism, possibly persecution.This aspect has a strong link with politics. People doing well under the current system are not inclined to look favourably on those who question the system.
Morpheus says to Neo "You have to understand that many people are not ready to be unplugged, and many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."
The system also has a place for you, an expected path to follow. This removes much of the doubt and discomfort experienced by a trailblazer.
Another argument on the side of the blue pill is how does anyone know that the status quo is not in fact the truth? The act of simply questioning does not infer a lack of validity on the questioned. Why not assume that your experience is innocent until proven guilty? Just accept everything?
So if the arguments for the blue pill are so numerous, why take the red pill? Why pursue truth even though it may be unpalatable and the journey to it hard?In the film, Neo risks death to escape the virtual reality and discovers a brutal reality from which he cannot return. As he discovers the trouble with asking questions is that the answers are not necessarily what you want to hear."

I am still wondering why it was so hard this time...

It has been one of the hardest summer schools we have run so far. Every day I was wondering what was going on? The children got fired up as usual, but they were so tired. Quite unusual I thought… I was wondering what we could do about it… Everything we tried ended up with a request from our best students… by saying I am so tired… can I just sit down and have a little rest?
Have you experienced the same during your summer camps?
Some of our students left this week… they still achieved remarkable results and one of them even got a platinum award, the first time since we opened our centre.
We had our certificate presentation and as usual we had some joyful tears and lots of hugs from students and parents… but I am still wondering why it was so hard this time?

SEROTONIN RISING 2010 • Deepak Chopra, David Lynch & Donovan

"The idea for the film SEROTONIN RISING came to me in the year 2000. I was watching a PBS TV special and the narrator read a few lines from a medical study. He said that if you do a good deed for someone your serotonin levels will rise and your immune system will be strengthened. He went on to say that the same thing happens to the recipient of the good deed. The final words on this subject were what really hooked me: Any observer of the good deed will also feel their serotonin rise and have their immune system strengthened. I wrote down a treatment for a future documentary based on those words and filed it for when the time felt right to produce it. A few years later, I came across a study conducted at the National Institutes of Health by Dr. Jordan Grafman . The research proved that the same regions of the brain that were activated when one received money were even more activated when one gave money to non-profit organizations.After reviewing my notes from the PBS special and conducting more research on the topic, I was convinced that people would respond favorably to these findings. I set about contacting Dr. Grafman and other medical experts to confirm the NIH experiments. At the same time, I began interviewing more doctors as well as noted authors, spiritualists, visionaries, religious leaders, mind-body specialists and philosophers. Everyone agreed with the basic premise and many added their own views and advice to the subject. Within six months word spread within the spiritual cinema community about what we were doing and I began to receive calls and e-mails from people wanting to be a part of this production. SEROTONIN RISING took on a life of its own soon after co-producer and writer, Darren Foster , joined me on the production and journey. Darren suggested that we add a dramatic storyline about two television news reporters to the interviews we already conducted. We developed a concept for this unique integration together and Darren wrote the original screenplay. Soon we began acquiring an incredibly talented cast and crew to produce this very unique feature-film.By merging the scientific evidence with a dramatic story and the words of wisdom from our experts, SEROTONIN RISING blossomed into a very special film.When my very talented brother Russell Perri agreed to create some amazing music for our film, we knew we were on the right track. As we watched the interview clips and reviewed stories of altruism and compassion, we all felt something wonderful. It soon dawned on us that we were becoming the "observers" of good deeds and our own serotonin levels were dramatically rising.It was at this point that we decided people needed to see this film and that it could make a positive difference in our world. We are now convinced that this documentary is the World's First Truly 'Feel-Good' Movie."

Transdisciplinarity as Methodological Framework for Going Beyond the Science-Religion Debate By Basarab Nicolescu

"Modern science was born through a violent break with the ancient vision of the world. It was founded on the idea — surprising and revolutionary for that era — of a total separation between the knowing subject and Reality, which was assumed to be completely independent from the subject who observed it. This break allowed science to develop independently of theology, philosophy and culture. It was a positive act of freedom. But today, the extreme consequences of this break, incarnated by the ideology of scientism, become a potential danger of self-destruction of our species.

On the spiritual level, the consequences of scientism have been considerable: the only knowledge worthy of its name must therefore be scientific, objective; the only reality worthy of this name must be, of course, objective reality, ruled by objective laws. All knowledge other than scientific knowledge is thus cast into the inferno of subjectivity, tolerated at most as a meaningless embellishment or rejected with contempt as a fantasy, an illusion, a regression, or a product of the imagination. Even the word “spirituality” has become suspect and its use has been practically abandoned.

Objectivity, set up as the supreme criterion of Truth, has one inevitable consequence: the transformation of the Subject into an Object. The death of the Subject is the price we pay for objective knowledge. The human being became an object — an object of the exploitation of man by man, an object of the experiments of ideologies which are proclaimed scientific, an object of scientific studies to be dissected, formalized, and manipulated. The Man–God has become a Man–Object, of which the only result can be self-destruction. The two world massacres of this century, not to mention local wars and terrorism — are only the prelude to self-destruction on a global scale.

In fact, with very few exceptions – Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer or Cassirer – modern and post-modern thinkers gradually transformed the Subject in a grammatical subject. The Subject is today just a word in a phrase9.

The quantum revolution radically changed this situation. The new scientific and philosophical notions it introduced – the principle of superposition of quantum “yes” and “no” states, discontinuity, non-separability, global causality, quantum indeterminism – necessarily led the founders of quantum mechanics to rethink the problem of the complete Object / Subject separation. For example, Werner Heisenberg, Nobel Prize of Physics, thought that one must suppress any rigid distinction between the Subject and Object, between objective reality and subjective reality. “The concept of “objective” and “subjective” – writes Heisenberg – designate […] two different aspects of one reality; however we would make a very crude simplification if we want to divide the world in one objective reality and one subjective reality. Many rigidities of the philosophy of the last centuries are born by this black and white view of the world.”10 He also asserts that we have to renounce the privileged reference to the exteriority of the material world. “The too strong insistence on the difference between scientific knowledge and artistic knowledge – writes Heisenberg – comes from the wrong idea that concepts describe perfectly the “real things” […] All true philosophy is situated on the threshold between science and poetry.”11

My line of thinking is in perfect agreement with that of Heisenberg. For me, “beyond disciplines” precisely signifies the Subject-Object interaction. The transcendence, inherent in transdisciplinarity, is the transcendence of the Subject. The Subject can not be captured in a disciplinary camp.

The meaning “beyond disciplines” leads us to an immense space of new knowledge. The main outcome was the formulation of the methodology of transdisciplinarity, which I will analyze in the next section. It allows us also to clearly distinguish between multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity.

Multidisciplinarity concerns itself with studying a research topic in not just one discipline only, but in several at the same time. Any topic in question will ultimately be enriched by incorporating the perspectives of several disciplines. Multidisciplinarity brings a plus to the discipline in question, but this “plus” is always in the exclusive service of the home discipline. In other words, the multidisciplinary approach overflows disciplinary boundaries while its goal remains limited to the framework of disciplinary research.

Interdisciplinarity has a different goal than multidisciplinarity. It concerns the transfer of methods from one discipline to another. Like multidisciplinarity, interdisciplinarity overflows the disciplines, but its goal still remains within the framework of disciplinary research. Interdisciplinarity has even the capacity of generating new disciplines, like quantum cosmology and chaos theory.

Transdisciplinarity concerns that which is at once between the disciplines, across the different disciplines, and beyond all discipline. Its goal is the understanding of the present world, of which one of the imperatives is the unity of knowledge12.

As one can see, there is no opposition between disciplinarity (including multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity) and transdisciplinarity, but a fertile complementarity. In fact, there is no transdisciplinarity without disciplinarity. In spite of this fact, the above considerations provoked, around 1990, a more a less violent war of definitions. This war is not yet finished."

No Matter What...

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true

No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need

I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what

In alignment with who you really are…

This is our week off at Conductive Education Support Services, before our four-week Summer Course.
We work through most of the year to support the real needs of all in the here and now. This is not an easy task, but it is very rewarding.

I just wanted to put up this post to encourage you in your own endeavours whatever they might be and to tell you that I had one of the most inspirational meetings today, despite that I am on holiday. I truly believe that you draw the right kind of people towards you once you clarify your level of values. Help can come from inconceivable angles in the most joyful and creative ways when you believe, trust and have faith in yourself.
HOW? Do things Honestly, Openly and Willingly.
Love Judit

How did it feel like working at Petö at the beginning of the 1980's?

'It felt like the smell of freshly cut grass infused with a particular ray of sunshine that carried the light of simplicity, reassurance, calmness and clarity.
It felt like a clear sense of focus and determination merged with the gentle breeze of everyday life with its noises, textures and feelings.
Bringing this magical combination of peace (a kind of knowing), clarity and compassion into our distinctively perceivable three-dimensional world of time and space reality.

It felt like purpose with infinite bounds of possibilities and choices, combined with a sense of seriousness and awe-inspiring joyful responsibility'. J Szathmáry

A new paradigm of your choice.

The truth is that there are multiple levels of activity behind what appears to be a play of incredible magnitude. Would you be surprised to learn that you are writing the lines and until you can figure out a point to the script, there is none?

The search for answers to this question intrigues the mind. Cooperation is a natural phenomenon as long as the need to control is absent. The need to control is a learned activity that becomes habitual through the experience of it.

If you accept responsibility by making a personal commitment between you and the creative energy that focused you through thought into this existence you may enjoy taking yourself to the edge of extinction for the fun of the adventure…

Purity of response to this outweighs educational degrees. Those who know the least of what is going on will hear first. If you are serious in attempting to understand this then if you dare, look at the events that you have already experienced and you will see that this has been the case many times. Now you must decide whether to take back your power, remove the blindfold of your own volition or wait until it’s removed for you. Where do you stand at this pivotal point? You must ask yourself and you must answer yourself!
