I read Norman Perrin’s posting titled “Conductive Education to be "dragged to hell in a handcart"?” with great interest and I thought I would publish my comment on my blog also in the hope that it would create more response from others.

Here is my comment:
'I slightly disagree with G. Monibot’s point of view, I believe that people can be persuaded by information if it is given to them slowly, in the right dosage and if their emotional and mental states are 'manipulated'.
I have seen many, many times in my life how people are influenced by feeding them the same information in a repetitive manner until they get hooked on to it and take it as a norm.
Having said that I agree with Monibot’s on how important to carefully choose whom we are mixing with. They can bring us down or lift us up.
We haven’t got much choice at the time when we are born into our ‘tribes’. The ‘tribe’s’ consciousness has a great influence on our thinking. We can see this in the evolution of Conductive Education too, if we look at the ‘CE tribe’.
From the tribe we learn our basic values, traditions etc., which are to be acknowledged and respected. BUT there comes a time when we all faced in our lives with the option to step out of the tribal consciousness, expand and grow.
Are we ready to reform the values we lived with until now? Are we ready to look at the issues right in the eyes and speak up from the heart? Are we?
When Obama says "things are going to get worse before they get better". It is his opinion, in his reality, but he cannot possibly address everybody’s reality.
Let me explain. In our world in every country, community, tribe, people live on different level of consciousness and have many different realities. There is not only one solution and one reality for all of us.
If we focus only on what we want to see and how we want to see it with clarity and mix only with the people who also carefully choose what they focus on, and if we have the same vision in mind we could create a different reality together.
People in history when they had this focused clarity with the best intention to help humanity and harm no one in the process achieved remarkable outcomes against all odds. The Divine stands with the ones who have Divine intentions.
I agree with your personal list.
I have been thinking about a global partnership myself and this is what I have put down years ago on a piece of paper.
Global Partnership
Mission Statement
The partnership is based on the belief that we all have the gift and the need to create a better world and better life.
This can only be achieved if we break free of the old dominator model and become to understand that the self cannot live and achieve real success in isolation.
Our work is based on putting love into action.
Our aim is to find tools to transform our lives and the lives around us to promote a more sustainable, just, and thriving way of life for all.
We have a desire to create a life where it is understood that we all are different and exist on different, but equally important level of existence.
All members of our partnership team committed to work in harmony to enlighten the view of the extraordinary potential of humans with or without disabilities.
Partnership members are dedicated to:
· Promoting high standards of competence, professionalism, and performance in the delivery of educational, rehabilitation services worldwide.
· Obtaining and disseminating information on the subject of education, rehabilitation for the benefit of other partners through web sites, conferences, seminars, and publications.
· Encouraging the exchange of ideas and mutual assistance among partners.
· Facilitating the partnership of professionals handling all aspects of global development plans.
· Respecting the confidentiality and personal nature of the information available to partnership members.'
This year was the hardest and the most glorious year of my working life. I am grateful for each and every little bit of it.
You realised that you could do something differently today … even if it was a very little thing or even if it was a very big thing... and what if you acted upon on it without any fear and without any preconceived outcome. Would you do it? Would you take a chance? Would you?

It is much too easy to say that there is nothing I can do. Everything you do matters. Every single day you have a choice to DO one action on behalf of the whole and one on behalf of yourself.

So we are here, but what next?
‘So we are here, but what next?’
CE Paradox
Winter is a very special time to build up our resources, tuck into a good book, create a delicious hearty soup with love while appreciating the shapes and colours of all the winter vegetables we can pick up at the local market and share the soup with some who live alone to brighten each other’s day. Sit at the roaring fire sipping sweet hot drinks spiced with cinnamon, cloves and grated peel of lemon and orange. Relax in a warm bath perfumed with spicy herbs to nourish and heal our body and soul.
