hysical objects and the ways those objects interact.
M-strengths consist primarily of abilities in areas that can be termed spatial reasoning. In particular, excelling in spatial reasoning involving the creation of a connected series of mental perspectives that are three-dimensional in nature-like a virtual 3-D environment in the mind. Basically, the strength enables people to see 3-D images in their mind and walk round them, take them apart and reconnect them. Many M-strength children with dyslexia display their creative potential quite clearly outside of the classroom with building, experiment, drawing or creating.
Difficulties
Letter reversals, answering apparently “simple” questions-especially writing (because the ideas that the students are attempting to express or often so complex), many M-strength people with dyslexia reason in largely non-verbal ways and often find it difficult to translate their thoughts into words (often discrepancy between conceptual understanding and ability to express or demonstrate understanding in words).
Key points about M-strengths
the ultimate purpose of M-strengths is to create a continuous, interconnected series of 3-D perspectives as a basis for reasoning about real-world, global, all big picture spatial features, rather than about fine detail or 2-D features.
The spatial imagery perceived by individuals with M-strengths may take many forms, from clear visual imagery to non-visual perceptions like force, shape, texture or movement.
The form spatial imagery takes is less important than the uses to which the person can put it.
M-strengths often bring trade-offs like symbol reversals and subtle language challenges.
Individuals with dyslexia in general, and those with prominent M-strength in particular, show a late blooming pattern of development and their developmental progress should be judged on its own terms, rather than bystanders created to judge people who do not have dyslexia.
Individuals with dyslexia who show prominent M-strengths often show signs of impressive creativity outside the classroom.
Dyslexic children with M-strengths have tremendous potential and often grow up to become remarkable and creative people.
Occupations and fields for this strength:
Engineer, mechanic, construction, mathematician, interior designer, industrial designer, Illustrator, graphic designer, architect, medicine, painter, sculptor, photographer, filmmaker, landscaper, aeroplane pilot, air traffic controller, dentistry.
Teaching methods - Reading
M-strengths usually benefit from methods that engage their strength in spatial imagery. These typically involved various forms of visual, positional or movement-based imagery. Finding a method that stresses the particular form of spatial imagery that an individual excels in (e.g. kinaesthetic, visual) can greatly increase the likelihood of success.

Thank you for taking the time to watch this! If you enjoy this video and think it would be of some benefit or interest to others please share! My intentions are of a pure and positive nature and with this I hope to share what I believe to be a very meaningful message. I've made this to share what I believe to a profound convergence of two way seemingly opposite ways of perceiving and understanding reality. Lots of love!!

of our lives - THE REALITY is that our lives are only a part of consciousness. * Consciousness is limited by TIME & SPACE - consciousness is vast & many-layered. Our waking human consciousness, if measured in the scale of things, would be like a tiny grain of sand. * Consciousness is fixed and unchanging - Consciousness is EVER changing, EVER growing. IT IS we who seem to be static by comparison. * Only humans are conscious - Consciousness is the LIFE FORCE which runs through the universe. ALL LIFE is part of it. To cause harm to anything within it must surely cause harm to yourself. * There's no need to explore your own consciousness - EVERY living being is driven to expand its own consciousness as part of the GREATER WHOLE. YOU must remember that consciousness is LIFE and as such is many-levelled. To gain more UNDERSTANDING you must know where YOU are IN IT your self. Gordon Smith…

understanding of each area of modern physics including all of the fundamental
mathematics. The sequence begins with the modern formulations of classical mechanics
discovered by Lagrange and Hamilton in the late 18th and 19th centuries, and then moves on to
the radical new theories of relativity and quantum mechanics discovered by Albert Einstein and
others in the early 20thcentury. The sequence concludes with a study of modern cosmology
including the physics of black holes.

the field of ‘Cybernetics’, and Jay Forrester developed ‘systems dynamics’ there have been many attempts to break free from the reductionist paradigm and develop a more holistic and systemic understanding of the complexity of the world we live in.
Early systems thinkers were still ultimately aiming to improve their ability to better predict and control the system in question. The introduction of insights from chaos theory and non-liner mathematics into systems science sparked the development of complexity theory.
Interconnectedness, unpredictability, and uncontrolability are key characteristics of all complex dynamic systems. In dealing with complexity rather than mechanisms, the aim of science shifts from improving our ability to predict and control to aiming to better understand the dynamics and relationships of the systems we participate in so that our participation can be more appropriate.
