This week (UK) is Autism Awareness Week

#MondayMadness


I woke up this morning to a message saying:

“ Interesting thought. Your mind is wonderful - odd, but wonderful.”

 

This week (UK) is Autism Awareness Week


This week’s #MondayMadness slot today speaks to the the four ‘M’s of Malicious Malevolent, Machiavellian, Management 

I used to work for a public sector organisation and I was persecuted because of my autism. Like all employers, the public sector has a duty of care to their employees.
When I took out a grievance against a particularly malicious, malevolent machavavaillian manager, the report concluded that no documentary evidence of autism had been produced. A complete negation of the courage it took to share my ‘perceived’ disability in the first place.
I discovered that I was on the autistic scale when seeking educational help for my primary aged son with a parental ‘aha’ moment about my own childhood. These traits run in families.
It’s a poor reflection on an organisation responsible for public sector support  & education,  when they can’t treat people equitably, despite well meaning policies, because the people using the policies - and I use the word ‘using’ in a very specific way -display lack of understanding & lack compassion.
To conclude “…no evidence of autism supplied, when the very body investigating could have offered a test” Illustrates a willful lack of understanding & a lack of compassion 

If you are not ‘autistic’  you have the innate inability to empathise with those who are. That is not an excuse for treating people unfairly. It is an indicator of lack of compassion. 

As you know, I intensely dislike labelling people… because labels can be weaponised to divide people’s. The one caveat to my dislike of labelling is if those ‘labels’ are applied to action support…. to “embrace difference”. 
 
To conclude that “no evidence of autism was provided”
Was evidence of failure to embrace difference. 
Conscious willfull failure to embrace difference.

This week is autism awareness week.

I am applying my “odd but wonderful” mind this Monday to bring you a much deeper framework around my thoughts with these short clips of Gregg Braden talking to Alex Ferrari:

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (PT 1)

A brief history of  healing through the Human Energy Field You understand that when someone is angry in your presence you are ‘seeing red’? So are they. If you de-focus your eyes you may also see red sparks firing off them toward you. If you look closely at their outline (where their physical body/skin meets the air, you may be able to perceive a tgrey fluid like slow, or stuck, energy underneath the red haze. This shows you an area of their energy field where deep emotional sadness, loss or trauma became stuck in their energy field, possibly even causing physical, as well as mental, psychological, harm.  Trained Spiritual’ healers use this higher sense perception, and connection to source’ to channel universal energy and. heal your energy fields (the energy matrix that activates life source around and within your body). And this release, in turn allows your body to re-map, re-vert, recover & restore health within your body.  In the 1990s, I trained with the National ...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-3)

  An ‘holistic’ approach to health requires a complete re-wiring of your world view. 1905 Albert Einstein publishes his ‘Special Theory of Relativity… … shattering the concept of a Newtonian world view:  Space is not three dimensional and time is not separate from form ‘entity’. Connected they form a 4 dimensional continuum ‘space-time’. There is no universal flow of time: time is not linear nor absolute. Time is relative; space-time is relative. Form ‘entity’ is therefore also relative. Using terms such as ‘time’ and ‘space’ are just useful words to help us conceptualise ‘space-time’ and how universal energy fields relate to each other. Three dimension ‘space’ is a paradoxical paradigm  two different observers can observe the same event in reverse time i.e. the same event being ‘witnessed’ from a different position can be perceived by each observer as happening in the  relative past or relative future Linear ‘cause then effect’ is a Newtonian concept. Currently most...

A brief history of the science of ‘Healing through the Human Energy Field’ (Pt-2)

We have all experienced ‘knowing’ that someone close (e.g. a parent, child, or lover) is about to call just as we are thinking about them or looking at our phone. Have you ever wondered how this psychic’ phenomenon, your intuitive ‘sixth sense’, actually works? Our life, and the entire universe is created from interactive fields of electromagnetic light energy Less than 100 years after the establishment of Newtonian physics as the framework for scientific ‘thinking’, new physical phenomenon was discovered. But it didn’t fit into this established framework and was predominantly ignored by scientists within this establishment.  Michael Faraday (1791-1867), experimental physicist: Observed  that a changing magnetic field can induce an electric current in a nearby wire i.e he ‘discovered’  electromagnetic induction. Introduced  the concept of "lines of force" to visualize and understand the electromagnetic field i.e field theory Made significant contributions to our unde...
