“Just give me one sentence I can be proud of Godamit!” Writer’s block is a curse. The symptoms of this curse are not pretty.  They include… Despair:  Creativity seems to walk hand in hand with emotional pain.  We are pregnant with ideas but we lack what it takes to birth them, which creates a log-jam […]

I’ve seen two shows this past month in London.  The Wall – an epic production which chronicles Roger Water’s rite of passage from boy to adult, and Lord of the Flies – an open air theatre experience in Regents Park, which does the same.   They seem to perfectly encapsulate the two modes of behavior […]

The most successful direct marketing campaign in the world was not masterminded by Nike or Coca Cola but by al-Qaeda.  Despite a trillion dollars of US spend on the war against terror, al-Qaeda membership continues to grow. It was obvious really. CEOs have only just cottoned onto the ‘relationship marketing’ thing.   The concept of ‘Tribe building’ […]

Well, more specifically I started reading a news blog.  Within the post were ten hyperlinks to other posts.  This always fills me with alarm.  I stand at the crossroads provided by each link… Shall I carry on reading the thing I started on, or shall I go down the tempting new path.  I stand at […]

Nick Clegg claims that voters are so angry about Government spending cuts that they are posting dog poo through his letterbox.  I don’t know where this practice started but I do know it has spread to the realms of the metaphysical world.

Where are we going?  Why aren’t we there yet? Could there be something wrong with the map? In geometry, triangulation is the process of determining a location by measuring the angles from either end of the baseline rather than measuring distance to the location directly. In our haste to be destination oriented…’Goals!’  ‘Vision!’ ‘Focus!’ we’ve […]

In the geometric world, triangles represents the interface between choice and creative forces. We make thousands of choices every day so it’s tempting to imagine what life could be like if we made different choices.  Not just the big choices, like where to work or who to marry, but the small ones – after all […]

It seems like only yesterday we were talking about ‘the knowledge economy’ and ‘the information age’, but already this is becoming out of date as we enter – The Energy Age. To be fair, it’s been coming for quite a while, we just didn’t read the signs.  As soon as the atom was split we […]

Philosophers, mystics, environmentalist, visionaries and quantum physicists.  What’s the common denominator here? – they all teach the concept of ‘WE are all one’.  In other words, we may look like individuals, but we are connected in ways we previously couldn’t imagine. This complex topic, previously the exclusive terrain of intellectuals, is currently being played out […]

A.    We like change, but we don’t like being changed. B.    We love connection but we don’t love intimacy.C.   We value inspiration but we don’t value ideas that aren’t ‘rational’. The common denominator in this ABC is control… A.    We want to control the change process, not be controlled by it – other people should […]
