The power of integration: How intellect and intuition lead to wisdom In our modern world, we often tend to favour either our intellect or our intuition. But what if we could combine the two? Mel Schwartz argues in his insightful article that it is precisely this integration that is the key to true wisdom. Thinker vs. feeler Many of us tend to go through life as either a ‘thinker’ or a ‘feeler’. A simple test: Do you tend to start your sentences with ‘I think...’ or ‘I feel...’? The answer reveals which type you tend to be. The strengths of both sides Intuition: An immediate form of knowledge, independent of conscious analysis. Intellect: Based on logical thinking and rational enquiry. Both have their advantages, but relying solely on one side can limit us. The path to wisdom Schwartz emphasises that true wisdom comes when we unite intellect and intuition. This integration allows us to: • Communicate more holistically • Have better relationships, especially between the sexes • Better anticipate the unintended consequences of our actions Conclusion Instead of limiting ourselves to one side, we should strive to cultivate both our thinking and our feeling. Only then can we realise the full spectrum of our human potential and achieve true wisdom. How do you balance your thinking and feeling in everyday life? Full article:

Integrating Your Intellect and Intuition to Achieve Wisdom

Would you like to feel wiser and more confident in your decision-making?

"Invasion on privacy." "Increasing control of the state and corporations over the lives of citizens." "We are losing control of our technology and our lives."

Has anyone heard that iPhones are now also exploding in Lebanon or that the Mossad is triggering an explosion? I'm interested in the technical aspect. Is the operating system decisive, or can the Mossad remotely control certain chips independently of the smartphone's operating system?

Just do it!

All matter is simply energy condensed to a slower vibration.

Man is an imperfect creation. He is not a truly unique cosmic being whose intelligence and ability to act reflect the energies of the source of life itself. On the contrary, man as we know him is more like an automaton. His thoughts, feelings and actions are little more than mechanical reactions to external and internal stimuli. In him and around him, everything happens without the participation of his own authentic consciousness. But man is unaware of this fact because the omnipresent influence of culture and education imbues him with the illusion of an autonomous conscious self. Modern man has no idea how self-deceptive a life lived in only one part of himself can be. The head, the emotions and the body each have their own perceptions and actions, and each can live a simulacrum of human life. In short, man is asleep. There is no authentic ‘I am’ in his presence, only an egoism that masquerades as the authentic self and whose machinations poorly mimic the normal human functions of thinking, feeling and willing. Many factors reinforce this sleep. Each of the reactions that take place in one's own presence is accompanied by a deceptive sense of self - the human being is many selves, each of which imagines itself to be the whole and each of which is buffered from the perception of the others. Each of these many ‘I's represents a process by which the subtle energy of consciousness is absorbed and dissipated, a process Gurdjieff called “identification”. Man identifies himself - that is, he wastes his conscious energy - with every passing thought, impulse and sensation. This state manifests itself in a constant self-deception and an uninterrupted succession of egoistic emotions such as anger, self-pity, sentimentality and fear, which are so painful that man constantly tries to alleviate this state by the endless pursuit of social recognition, sensual pleasure or the vague and unattainable goal of ‘happiness’. - Jacob Needleman

Nostr and the nostrich: A Jungian analysis of digital emancipation In the collective unconscious of the digital world, the nostrich represents the archetype of the freedom seeker and independent person. It embodies the deep, archetypal longing for unrestricted self-expression and connectedness that is free from external control and censorship. Like the ostrich from which it derives its name, the nostrich has both feet firmly on the ground of decentralised reality. But unlike the ostrich, which literally buries its head in the sand, the nostrich proudly raises its head to the heights of digital freedom. Its purple colouring symbolises the transformation of the ordinary Internet into something royal and sublime. The nostrich carries within it the tension between the shadow of centralisation and the light of decentralisation. It has shed the persona of conventional social media and strives for individuation in the realm of uncensored communication. In doing so, he integrates the anima/animus of technological innovation with the self of personal sovereignty. In the hero's journey, the nostrich represents the moment of rejection of the familiar call and the conscious decision to cross the threshold into a new, unknown world. He is the mentor and at the same time the hero who accompanies others on their path to digital emancipation. The encounter with the nostrich archetype challenges the individual to confront their own shadows of dependency and conformity. He calls for the mask of the censored persona to be removed and the authentic self to be revealed in a space of absolute freedom. The nostrich also embodies the trickster archetype, challenging the established structures of centralised power through creativity and unpredictability. He dances on the border between the orderly world of regulated communication and the chaos of unbridled expression of opinion.

‘The Nostrich’ symbolises freedom, decentralisation and the power of open communication. The ostrich, known for not being able to fly, takes on a new, magical quality here thanks to its special colouring - similar to how Nostr opens up new possibilities for the Internet. This card stands for the courage to break new ground and break away from centralised structures. It represents the ability to forge connections across traditional boundaries and build a community based on freedom and self-determination. In a positive sense, it suggests a spirit of innovation, independence and the ability to share and receive information freely. In a negative sense, it could warn against excessive idealism or the danger of isolating oneself too much from established systems. ‘The Nostrich’ encourages the questioner to explore the possibilities of free, decentralised communication and to play an active role in shaping a more open digital future.

The plot thickens.

Visualise X as a turbulent sea of confrontation, where waves of opinions crash against each other and the storm of conflict rages. But behold, in your mind's eye, Nostr blossoms as a garden of harmony and growth. Here the seeds of your thoughts flourish in fertile soil, nourished by the sun of creativity and the gentle rain of co-operation. In this garden, you not only cultivate your own ideas, but also nurture the tender shoots of community. Each interaction is like a carefully placed flower that contributes to the beauty of the whole. And lo and behold, a magical stream flows in this garden - the zaps, glittering drops of appreciation and value. These zaps are like the nectar of flowers, attracting the busy bees of creativity. They reward those who produce truly nourishing fruits of the spirit. With every Zap you give or receive, you strengthen the roots of this lush garden and allow new ideas to blossom. While X threatens to pull you into its vortex of negativity, Nostr invites you to dwell in its peaceful atmosphere, to grow and be rewarded for your contributions. Here, every thought is valuable, every interaction meaningful, every zap a spark of encouragement. Recognise the power of your choice: do you want to exhaust yourself on the battlefield or blossom and thrive in the garden? Your spirit has the power to create this reality. Choose wisely and cultivate the garden of your digital life wisely, where your efforts will not only bear fruit, but also be appreciated and rewarded.
