LEARN FROM CHILDREN…T. Levitt, Winnegrad
Children connect well to the humanity of others. Many adults think too much of themselves and are competitive with others. When others succeed in school or in business there is a jealousy or anger within some of the others, for not succeeding as well. This can smother the decent […]
WORDS TO LIVE BY…Chief Standing Bear, Winnegrad
From the Creator came a great unifying life force that flowed in, and flowed through all things; the flowers, trees, birds, animals and into the first man. Therefore all things are related. So all creatures and plants had rights, the rights to have man’s protection. So they can live, […]
HOW WE DECIDE…J. Lehrer, Winnegrad
We always need to be aware of how we think. Sometimes we need to reason through our options and analyze the possibilities. This is using our prefrontal cortex, the newer part of our brain. Sometimes we need to listen to our emotions, that is our limbic system, the oldest […]
NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE…Dr.A.Weil, Winnegrad

LET US DREAM…Winnegrad
As we get older some of us rely on the intellect and less on the intuition. These people rely on the intellect as the supreme mode of knowing. They tend to judge the intuition as anti-intellectual. The intellect, in its cold rational search for facts, blinds some of us to […]
EMPTINESS OF AN ECHO…Winnegrad
ECHO is; to repeat or to imitate. When you ECHO something that another person says without checking the facts or to see if the statement is reliable, that is not the proper way to be a considerate HUMAN. It is the way of a PARROT. Too many false statements are […]
FEELING UNNECESSARY…Winnegrad
A FEELING is an EMOTION, something that many times comes from a non-logical unqualified reaction. It is very easy for anyone at one time or another for that EMOTION to take hold of their FEELINGS. We are susceptible to such unconscious surrender and the loss of a clear view of […]
