Which is it.. the unrelenting pursuit of Knowledge or of Wealth that drives us? In many respects there seems to be a link. Generally speaking, the more knowledge you have of a subject the more ‘in demand’ you are for that particular skill and correspondingly the higher the potential to gain wealth from it. Isn’t this why we put our children through school and college/university? Isn’t this why we put even ourselves through these institutions (often for the 2nd or 3rd time) just so that we can get ahead?

Well I’m here to tell a converse story. The intelligent woman doesn’t spend her life acquiring information, she spends it recognising that it’s already there! All of it! Yes.. all knowledge is available to all of us, not only the privileged few. The catch is that it requires awareness, and let [Read on...]

Here is an interesting fact: The space between elements of an atom are proportionally similar to the spaces between objects in our solar system such as our planets. Do a search on google and you will find plenty of articles on this.

Without going into all the probably more technical levels in between we can also say that a heart is an individualised portion of many atoms and then on to the human being as an individualised portion of many organs.. do you see where I’m going here? Do you understand the pattern? [Read on...]

How incredibly hard it is to find this precious commodity! Have you ever wondered why we need to sleep? The common answer is because we need rest. Personally I don’t buy that. In silence we return to an aspect of the true source of all power, the one source of all creation.. where we let go of stimulation from the senses and for several hours every night experience the deep peace of our souls. Woaaah Ryan, that’s a pretty weird claim you’ve got going there. Yeah? Prove me wrong! [Read on...]

Change is inevitable, evolution demands it. The all too familiar legal theft practises of the monopolistic company Telkom have been well documented.. but with the advent of additional undersea cables connecting SA with the rest of the world, the future is looking increasingly bright on the southern tip of the continent.

Job hunting has been tough going for web developers (particularly on the front end) because, well, simply put.. fast internet and even the slower kind is not cheaply available to the masses. No market means No jobs to accommodate [Read on...]
