960's. It was a particularly mind-blowing experience for me, as a dyslexic 3D thinker, because my own vision as a child, was of a future time when we would be able to personally experience a simulation of the reality, such that we would not be able to tell the difference between the simulation and the reality. Many moons later in California, whilst speaking to the female dyslexic designer of the very latest Silicon Graphics CGI workstation, I was introduced to Thomas West's enlightening book, entitled IN THE MIND's EYE; as a result of which I helped to set up an event of the same name.
THE original TED talk on YouTube and the associated RSA animate, marks the beginning of an AWAKENING to the fact that - CREATIVITY for the purpose of POSITIVE ENHANCEMENT of the EVOLUTIONARY ADVANCEMENT of the entirety of our multiverse of universes - IS of THE most paramount importance with respect to the appropriate design of a sustainable solution for ALL of LIFE throughout the ENTIRETY of EVERYTHING !!!???NO WONDER therefore that Ken Robinson then went on to propose the question ... CAN CREATIVITY [BE] TAUGHT ???. One of the many keys to understanding [IS]
the need to acknowledge the concept of ... SEEKING LESS AND LESS ... ABOUT MORE AND MORE NOT MORE AND MORE ... ABOUT LESS AND LESS

his “COVID” stuff.
I am feeling quite differently about all of this now.
I am now bringing unconditional acceptance to all of the apparent situations occurring on Earth right now.
I am now deeply seeing that it is valid for beings to dream whatever dream they wish. We are all free to create our realities as we choose. I thought I had realized this previously. I wrote very similar words in my book, COVID-1984: The Great Teacher.
Yet I now realize the insight had not sunken in all the way. I was still carrying a lot of anger and resistance and wrong-making in my system, in relation to those dreaming various “COVID” / “vaccine” / “lockdown” / “restriction” narratives into existence.
This has dissolved now, to a much greater extent. I still notice residues of it here and there, yet as they appear, I hold them in the light of neutral loving awareness and watch them dissolve.
How freeing: To realize it is valid for every being to dream the dream they wish to dream. Every reality-tunnel is valid. We are all 100% free and allowed to create our realities as we wish. This also means that it is valid for me to dream a different dream. How in[DEED] are we going to make changes to the world individually...

ng the resulting hypotheses. Habits of observation and experiment probably developed from magical and divinatory practices of early Taoism. The only Taoist word ever used for a temple means "watch-tower" - a platform from which to observe the natural world and launch naturalistic explanations of its phenomena.
Taoism has, in Confucian eyes, a reputation for magical mumbo-jumbo, but Taoists can transcend magic by means of their doctrine of NATURE - to the one who would control her - is like any other
beast to be tamed or foe to be dominated - she must be known first. Tao has a mystical image in the West, but is rooted in commonplace observations - water, for instance, reflects the world, permeates every substance, yields, embraces, changes shape at a touch, and yet erodes the hardest rock. Thus it becomes the symbol of an all-shaping , all-encompassing, all-pervading Tao. In the Taoist yin-yang image of a circle halved by a serpentine line, the cosmos is depicted as two waves mingling. Part of the result is that Taoism encourages the rudiments of scientific practice: observation, description, classification, and experiment. The k’ao-cheng tradition, the scientific imperative that arose from some fundamental ethical and religious assumptions, is implicit in some early Taoist writings. Grand theory is discouraged as an intrusion of reason into the workings of wisdom, which can be attained ONLY through the accumulation of knowledge. Chinese science has always been weak on theory, strong on technology. It is probably no coincidence that the modern tradition of experimental science in the West began in the 13th century at a time of greatly multiplied contacts across Eurasia, when numerous Chinese IDEAS and INVENTIONS were reaching Europe across the steppeland and silk routes, via the Muslim world.

My own journey of life, having been encouraged by my mother and

evolution of consciousness.

curriculum lack of focus.
I HAVE FOREVER been bemused by the fact that - across EVERY cultural division of our species - there prevails a lack of understanding of the fact that equality and equal rights and responsibilities, DO NOT JUST apply to MEN. Regardless of belief system, as Leonardo da Vinci concluded in his codex vitae 49, towards the end of his life … “ALL IS in NATURE and WE ARE a CIRCUMSTANCE of NATURE and the GREATEST bond in LIFE is LOVE; and that should receive a fuller understanding and be the basis of righteousness in all dealings between man and woman. That is the great mystery which can provide the logic for our being in this world, and it is more substantial than the creations of machines or weapons.” THE Universal Law of Gender IS the expression of YIN & YANG, otherwise termed the feminine/solar and masculine/lunar. The law states that these two principles reside WITHIN ALL THINGS, and IT IS through these principles that HUMANITY is ABLE to CREATE. THE Universal Law of Gender is the CREATIVE FORCE that runs from the inner into the outer world. IT IS the force of the ONE & ONLY GOD, whatever GOD is perceived to be. It creates LIFE, even that which is born into the solidity of the physical manifestation of our planet of THINGS; for both of the principles of YIN and YANG, in ABSOLUTE BALANCE & HARMONY, must be present to BUILD and to MANIFEST in our multi-dimensional reality, as well.

ll Mollison of Tasmania, Australia in the early 1970s to mean Permanent Agriculture or Permanent Culture. David Holmgren was a collaborator in this venture. Dr. Mollison was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (otherwise known as the Alternative Nobel Prize) in 1981, for this contribution in the search for alternatives.
It was initially conceived as a framework for a more permanent basis for agriculture rather than just the raising of annual crops. The idea was a beneficial assembly of multi-crop elements of perennial trees, shrubs, annuals (food crops), herbs, vegetables, useful weeds, fungi, tuber crops with integration of animals, aimed towards household and community self-reliance for food sufficiency.
However, Permaculture has now come to mean much more than food sufficiency at household level, for, self-sufficiency in food becomes meaningless unless people have access to land, information and financial resources. Today Permaculture has come to mean a whole life system encompassing various strategies for people to acquire all those resources, including access to land needed to evolve self-financing and self- managed systems to provide for all their material and non-material needs, without depleting, polluting and destroying the natural resources of the biosphere.
Central to Permaculture is the relationship humans should have towards natural resources and their wise, ethical and judicious utilization so that posterity is not saddled with the consequences of our irresponsible conduct. Today Permaculture has made a start all over the world, in some aspect or other, on some issue or other. Except in three countries of the world (Uruguay, Afghanistan and one African country) there are Permaculture groups, organizations, and individuals undertaking efforts, howsoever small to repair the Earth and become more responsible for their actions and enabling others to do likewise.

At the time of the IPO in 1998, the company name was changed to "ARM Holdings", often just called ARM like the processors. Japanese telecommunications company SoftBank Group made an agreed offer for ARM on 18 July 2016, subject to approval by ARM's shareholders, valuing the company at £23.4 billion (US$32 billion). The transaction was completed on 5 September 2016.
