Intelligence & Conventional Education

Image
        I wanted to share something that I thought about a few weeks ago, related to intelligence and conventional education. This is something that often crosses my mind, even when I was a child. Back then I remember meeting people who had bachelor's, masters's or doctorate degrees and like many of us I was made to believe that these are the people in our society who are smart, because they are educated. I had a problem with this though, because these people sometimes seemed to lack something very fundamental and to me they did not necessarily meet the definition of "smart", or perhaps conscious would be a better word. More importantly I soon noticed that the accumulation of "school knowledge" had nothing to do with being wise or mature, and aware of the effects of your actions in this world.   Something that I've witnessed people do a lot in the last months related to covid and this whole situation, is bash people who dare to question thes...

2020 And The Crushing of Our False Identity

Image
       The last year has been hard on many of us. It's safe to say it has effected each and every one of our lives in one way or another. Today I wanted to particularly write about how has 2020 affected our identities. One of the things that has made me really sad and frustrated in 2020 is to see how badly small business owners and freelancers in particular have been supported by our goverments during covid times. It is heartbreaking to see many of them have to close shop and erase all of their hard work without having any guarantee for the future and very little help from the government to survive this situation. Many of the measures that have been taken against covid have been very illogical and questionable and my full viewpoint on that can be found on my previous post.  As someone who is very interested in spiritual and metaphysical matters, this global crisis has led me to  think about the whole matter from a different kind of perspective as well. In...

Why We Still Need To Talk About 2020

Image
  I know many of us are tired of hearing and talking about the virus. It is everywhere you turn whether you like it or not, and some are wondering “how do people still have the energy to talk about it?” As a singer-songwriter some might be wondering why am I posting so much about spirituality and health all of a sudden and why not just stick to making music instead of constantly talking about this heavy subject that is all around us. I know people want a break from this, and believe me, I do too. We all do surely. No one is arguing otherwise. The reason why this is an important subject for me personally, is because beyond being a singer-songwriter I have always been the kind of person to question the “norm” and to wonder what else is out there and how could we be better as humans. There have always been so many things that have deeply bothered me about this world and I often wondered why and how do we not see it and change things? The way most people live their lives and most of th...
