dear friends,
when you think outside the box the box goes away... http://www.masternewmedia.org/news/2..._box_fluid.htm be well, be love. david think outside the box: fluid intelligence and the ability to question your own beliefs the ability to change, to inspire others and to seed ideas that will contribute to make our planet a better place, are very close to those reading these pages. sharewood and my idea of helping independent publishers stems from the very desire to help others, helping them become their own bosses and agents of change. a few of you may already know that the key reason they are now here is to change agents ushering the rest of us in a new paradigm for humanity. i think that change starts from each one of us and from the simple actions and choices we make daily. to change the world you have got to start from yourself. if you can't or you are unwilling to question and change your own assumptions and beliefs, then you should not expect the rest of the world to be so open to your passionate crusades. fluid intelligence has little to do with iq or "book" intelligence. fluid intelligence is "the ability to step outside of our beliefs and consider information which does not fit into our previously accepted view of reality." given the level of social, cultural and media conditioning we have all unconsciously received, this is a information-computing trait of your brain that would be worth cultivating for mere strategic reasons. if you can't step outside your own computing box or you can't question the very assumptions that determine the way your perceive life all around you, how can you ever expect to make change happen? fluid intelligence is all about not getting stuck with one set of ideas for life. maintaining in good health the flexibility of your reasoning and mental computing system, today is as critical as periodically changing the oil in your car engine. questioning reality, being critical of mainstream media reporting and news, asking deeper and uncomfortable questions about the truth why of some of our major problems can only lead you to know more and to be able to cope with more. taking reality for granted, as a given objective "thing" sitting out there, is the equivalent if signing now your testament to life and your surrender to realize yourself, as a true participant, in the wonderful game of life going on on this planet. cultivating, understanding and nurturing open-mindedness is the greatest safeguard to the very threats and possible disasters we are running into head on at this very time. the enemy is us. |
