Learning and Discovering

Accelerated Learning - Better School Grades - An Artists Approach
Learning and discovery go hand in hand. Most of us want to discover things and some of us have unearthed ways to do that. The first thing an artist does, and there are many brilliant artists, is assign priorities in the right order. The highest priority goes to you, the learner, the young artist, the one who wants to learn. You need to get to grips with yourself as a person before you can really begin the process of accelerating your learning.

Why it is important to make mistakes and get lost
I often get lost wandering through the many hedged lanes of Devon and Somerset. These tiny lanes are only wide enough for a small car to travel one way. The walking is not easy because the lanes go up and down hills, often very steep hills, and you can find yourself huffing and puffing. My longest walks occur when I get thoroughly lost. The sign posting is not very helpful sometimes because it directs you around in circles until you finally realize your destination is somewhere in the middle of a circle. By that time you are so tuckered out that you collapse by the side of the lane, put your feet up and fall asleep. Then, you dream while you listen to nature humming around you.

Knowledge Creation Using the Internet

It seems unfair that people have much shorter lives that trees, especially the yew tree. What does man do about that?Man's reality is his mortality. Man's unreality is his having a life at all. Man's desire is to make life fair and even. Man's actions are to destroy that which reminds him of his own mortality.

A Vision of Continuously Improving Science and Religion
In the Wuh Lax world that I envisage, the control of errors is accomplished by continuously improving on the methods of solving and coping with challenges. We sometimes forget that our world is constantly changing, that all existence whether physical, ethereal, spiritual or formal, is subject to change because everything is as an aspect of process.

The Universe May be Like the Earliest Video Games
This is a difficult one to get your head around philosophically and conceptually, but not impossible. What if you were living in a round room and it had four doors? Two of the doors are left handed and the other two are right handed.

The Automated Computer Virus is a New Threat
The world of safe computing is getting increasingly more difficult as malware producers paid by organized crime syndicates are stealing your information through automated Trojan horse and virus creation. That is the frightening message of an article by Brian Krebs in today's Washington Post on line.

The Internet is revolutionizing the way we see and gather information about our world. It is a very effective research tool. What follows is just a sampling of the better sites that you can use to find information:

What is Not Coincidence - Internet Use Monitoring
Probably, what you do not realize is how fast the Internet operates on light and how quickly everything that you communicate via the Internet can be stored onto tape.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
