Wiki: Architecture: Architecture today →
Part of the architectural profession, and also some non-architects, responded to Modernism and Postmodernism by going to what they considered the root of the problem. They felt that architecture was not a personal philosophical or aesthetic pursuit by individualists; rather it had to consider everyday needs of people and use technology to give a livable environment.

Wean yourself
Little by little, wean yourself.
This is the gist of what i have to say. From an embryo, whose nourishment comes in the blood, move to an infant drinking milk, to a child on solid food, to a searcher after wisdom, to a hunter of more invisible game. Think how it is to have a conversation with an embryo. You might say, “The world outside is vast and intricate. There are wheatfields and mountain...

Wiki: Synchronicity →
One of Jung’s favourite quotes on synchronicity was from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll, in which the White Queen says to Alice: “It’s a poor sort of memory that only works backwards”.[9][10]
‘It’s very good jam,’ said the Queen. ‘Well, I don’t want any TO-DAY, at any rate.’ ‘You couldn’t have it if you DID...
Egypt: The Moment of Transition Is Now →
…Hosni Mubarak’s every move reveals his true colors. His appointments yesterday—of army general and spy chief Omar Suleiman to vice president, and former air force commander Ahmed Shafik to prime minister—seem designed only to secure the support of the military rather than to address public demands for political and economic reform. Jets and tanks have adopted a more aggressive stance in Cairo...

Are you with us, yet?
I am always curious about how many people would mobilize (peacefully, of course) to protest in the streets. What would you do? How could you explain things to non-protesters? This is what you must do.

The fact that society does not teach both equality and interdependence is frightening. These principals should be habitually ingrained into our experience. Until we can not only preach but also demonstrate unconditional love, we will continue averting our ultimate goals.
