The Wrong Vibration Between Power and People – Highlight Version

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
Our latest Thinking with Somebody Else's Head program explores a crucial question: in order for society to improve, does the individual need to change first, or does the political structure - the pathology of power - need to shift? Norberto Keppe's science of psycho-socio pathology helps us understand this crucial question, and brings a deep

The Wrong Vibration Between Power and People

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
There is, as I'm sure you've noticed, a massive movement around the world of the people struggling to free themselves from the shackles of oppression. The latest initiative - the "I won't pay" movements surging in Greece and a few other countries in Europe, specifically targeting Metro ticket turnstiles. And, of course, the surging up

Putting the New Consciousness into Practice

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
We've been bombarded with images and catch phrases heralding a new era for a number of decades now. From marketed scientific publications like the Aquarian Conspiracy to the blue environmentally pagan humanoids of Avatar to the end of the world apocalypse that Hollywood envisioned as the running out of the Mayan calendar, we've been up

Work, Art and Occupy Wall Street

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
Einstein made serious mistakes in equating energy with matter and thereby giving us the scientific justification for tearing up the planet in the search for more material to extract energy from. His theory also single-handedly put the damper on space travel when he linked everything to the speed of light. After all, if we have

Removing the Rose-Colored Glasses: The Dangers of Social Alienation

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head

A Study of the Divine

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
Another Christmas season is upon us, and with it the annual debate in the hearts of the pensive: how to tap into the true spirit of the time and not just get caught up in the shopping and seasonal festivities? This latter position firmly in the lead judging by the mad scramble for mall parking

Working for Ourselves

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
"Get a job!" was a common insult hurled at the hippies back when I was a kid. I remember a few of them homesteading in the woods off the dirt road to my favourite swimming hole on Vancouver Island. I remember the homegrown vegetable gardens and the hastily assembled log cabins and the pungent odour

Occupy the Media

In Thinking with Somebody Else's Head
There was a recent Occupy placard held aloft by a protester that caught my eye: "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" it said. And I thought, that's captured one of the key problems in our world today. There is so much corporate ownership of the media that it seems pretty inevitable that they would be
