  • Mayan Mythology – Cycles of time

    Mayan Mythology – Cycles of time

    Cycles of time are like cogs in a wheel, influencing our thinking , consciousness and cognition, hence why the word cog is used to describe the cycles of time as acting in a wheel. 

    Our mind is also likened to be influenced by a fire, not to be ignited, but to be cognited. 

    Cognition the lighting of the inner fire of the mind. 

    *The Cycles of Time in Mayan Mythology: Understanding the Interconnected Wheel of Consciousness*

Yet, a renewed sense of being emerged, guiding me to notice historic spiritual landmarks, such as pyramids and ley lines, surrounding Poland and the Balkans.

  • Socialism, a Complex and multifaceted ideology:

    Socialism, a Complex and multifaceted ideology:

    Socialism, a complex and multifaceted ideology, has been debated and interpreted in various ways across different communities. At its core, socialism advocates for collective ownership of the means of production, economic equality, and international solidarity. However, the question remains: did Hitler and the Nazi regime truly embrace socialism, or did they adopt a nationalist version of it?

    Hitler’s regime, while incorporating “socialist” into the party’s name, was fundamentally at odds with the core principles of socialism.

  • Deciphering the Language of Dreams: Unlocking the Natural Origins of Symbolism

    Deciphering the Language of Dreams: Unlocking the Natural Origins of Symbolism

    Dreams have long been a source of fascination and intrigue, with many seeking to unravel their hidden meanings and symbolism. While dream interpretation books can provide some insight, they often fall short of offering a comprehensive understanding of our dreams. In this article, we’ll explore a novel approach to dream interpretation, one that reveals the natural origins of symbolism and offers a deeper understanding of our subconscious mind.

    *The Natural Origins of Symbolism*

    The key to deciphering the language of dreams lies in recognizing that what we often consider to be spiritual understanding is, in fact, rooted in nature. Every level of our planet, from the red earth to the indigo sky, corresponds to an energy centre within our bodies. This realization provides a foundation for understanding the symbolism that appears in our dreams.

  • Unpacking the Mysteries of a Vision: Exploring the Connections Between Names, Places, and Ideologies

    Unpacking the Mysteries of a Vision: Exploring the Connections Between Names, Places, and Ideologies

    A few weeks ago, I had a profound vision about the Lord coming with fire to the Jews. The vision was accompanied by vivid imagery of mansions with farms, a massive city, and a distinct feeling of being in Eastern Europe. This experience sparked a series of reflections and observations about the connections between names, places, and ideologies.

    *The Significance of Azkenazi and the Word Ken*

    The name Azkenazi and the word Ken within it caught my attention. Ken seems to be a recurring theme in various names, such as Kennedy, Kinahan, and McEneaney. This observation led me to wonder about the potential connections between these names and their bearers’ positions in society.

    Azkenazi, a term used to describe Jewish people of Eastern European descent, may hold more significance than initially meets the eye. The word Ken, embedded within this name, could be more than just a coincidence. Ken, meaning “knowledge” or “understanding” in Hebrew, may signify a deeper connection to ancient wisdom or mystical knowledge.

  • Poland and Lithuania’s Complex History with Jewish Communities and European Integration

    Poland and Lithuania have a rich and complex history, particularly with regards to their Jewish communities. For over 1,000 years, Jewish people have lived and contributed to these societies, despite facing periods of persecution and acceptance.

    *A Turbulent History*

    During World War I and II, Poland was invaded by Germany, leading to devastating consequences for its Jewish population. The Holocaust, perpetrated by the Nazi regime, resulted in the murder of six million Jews, including three million Polish Jews.

    *European Integration and Economic Benefits*

    In 2002, the Euro was implemented, and European economic integration led to the free movement of people and goods across the continent. This created opportunities for Polish and Lithuanian citizens, including those from Jewish communities, to move freely throughout Europe.

    However, this period also saw significant migration from Poland and Lithuania to other European countries, including Ireland. This migration put pressure on local economies and social services.

  • The Psychology of Art and Design: The Hidden Harm of Rectangular Shapes


    The world of art and design is built on shapes, colors, and patterns that influence our emotions, perceptions, and behaviors. While shapes like circles and triangles have been extensively studied, the humble rectangle has received relatively little attention. However, a closer examination reveals that the rectangle may be having a profoundly negative impact on our collective psyche, drawing us into a conformist, unnatural reality.

    A Brief History of Rectangles
    The first recorded evidence of rectangular shapes dates back to ancient Egypt, where sarcophagi were often crafted in rectangular forms (Baines & Malek, 2000). Similarly, the stone tablets of Moses and the Tablets of Thoth feature rectangular shapes, highlighting the enduring presence of this shape in human culture (Assmann, 2001).

  • The Psychology of Art and Design

    Understanding the Power of Visual Perception

    Art and design have long been recognized as powerful tools for communication, expression, and inspiration. However, the psychological mechanisms underlying our responses to visual stimuli remain poorly understood. Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience have shed new light on the complex processes involved in visual perception, providing valuable insights for artists, designers, and anyone interested in the psychology of art.

    *Gestalt Psychology and Visual Organization*

    Gestalt psychology, developed by Kurt Koffka, provides a framework for understanding how we organize visual information into meaningful patterns and shapes. According to Koffka, our brains tend to group similar elements together, creating a sense of unity and coherence (Koffka, 1935). This principle is essential for designers, as it helps them create visually appealing and effective compositions.

  • Why Do We Even Have a Pope?

    The answer is because Christ has entrusted the pope, the bishop of Rome, with the office he first entrusted to St. Peter—to be the pastor of his entire Church.

    This man is called “pope” because that word comes the Greek word for “father” (pappas). Just as St. Paul said he became a father to the Christians in the Greek city of Corinth (1 Cor. 4:15), the pope is a spiritual father to all believers. He has been entrusted with the same responsibilities Christ gave to Peter, which include spiritually feeding Christ’s flock of believers (John 21:15-19) and determining doctrine and practice for Christ’s Church (Matt 16:18-19).
