The most important need of humanity today is to be made aware that its past has betrayed it. There is no point in continuing with the past, for doing so will be suicidal. The new humanity will not be a society in the old sense, where individuals are only parts of it. It will be a meeting of individuals, where individuals are the masters and society is to serve them. It will have many different aspects to it. It will not have so many religions, it will have only a religious consciousness.

There has always been a sense about the School of Metaphysics that we are drawn to it because we recognize the need to revolutionize education. Today this is as true as ever before.

Recently I've been studying information from around the world concerning what Drunvalo Melchizedek calls the "children of the new millennium." There are three types of children coming into our world who will aid greatly in the revolution.

Creative writing is a term used to distinguish certain imaginative or different types of writing from generic writing. The lack of specificity of the term is partly intentional, designed to make the process of writing accessible to everyone (of all ages) and to ensure that non-traditional, or traditionally low-status writing (for example, writing by marginalized social groups, experimental writing, genre fiction) is not excluded from academic consideration or dismissed as trivial or insignificant. This distinction is helpful in separating the writing from more technical ...

Creativity techniques are heuristic methods to facilitate creativity in a person or a group of people. Generally, most creativity techniques use associations between the goal (or the problem), the current state (which may be an imperfect solution to the problem), and some stimulus (possibly selected randomly).

The community became known as the Village of Skokie on November 15, 1940. Skokie I ...

Although folklore about putatively 90% dormant human brain has proven scientifically unfounded, researchers until the mid 1990s focused on only a small portion of the brain in efforts to understand its computational capacity. Grey matter, the thin layer of cells covering the cerebrum, was believed by most scholars to be the primary center of cognitive and conscious processing. White matter, the mass of glial cells that support the cerebral grey matter, was assumed to primarily provide nourishment, physical support and connective pathw ...

In contrast to imaginary antecedent, an imaginary consequent is a conclusion known to be false, fictional, or unconditional. In a conditional statement, a fictional conclusion is known as a non sequitur, which literally means 'out of sequence.' A conclusion that is out of sequence is not contingent upon a premise it does not follow, so such a sequence is not conditional. A conditional sequence is a connected series of statements, so an imaginary consequent cannot follow from true premises in a connected sequence. But, an ...
