Addictions

Addictions


We see the impact of addictions in the detritus of human life: people in the grip of addiction frequently relegate their lives to the rubbish bin. Human life is sacred, and worth much more than the grasp of any addiction. In this article, we consider the effects of addition, the power of peer pressure and the needful guidance for children – how they might deal with problems. All problems are opportunities awaiting a solution.

Personality and Spiritual Intelligence: Mysticism

the road withinPreviously, we have looked to personality type and human values. This series of articles will continue. In this discussion personality types and elements of spiritual intelligence are examined. We have given an overview on Spiritual Intelligence on this website (See here).

Sexual Choking: some reflections

Sexual Choking: some reflections
Ascension – the rise to the higher dimension and higher consciousness within the human does not eliminate human sexuality. This is one of the primary energies in the human and ensures the propagation of the human race. We will not automatically ascend to light bodies – the physical body will remain.

Recent surveys of young people – and recent courtroom events – reveal a rise in sexual choking. For the young, this behaviour flows from the sexual landscape of pornography that shapes so much sexual activity in this day, this age. Some reflections and observations are offered.

Reflections on Self-Discipline

Chalk board We pass through boyhood, childhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age; it is an imperceptible but inevitable progress. We experience each only when we are passing through it. Problem behaviours such as teenage binge drinking, premature sexual activity, drug use, tobacco use, and obesity have a common root – the absence of self-discipline – and a shared antidote, namely, the development of self-discipline. Solutions are considered: management of thought, time and breath.

The Four Temperaments and Human Values: an overview

The Four Temperaments and Human ValuesSome of the most important recent work done in the field on Personality Typing has been done by David Keirsey, who has created the theory of temperament associated with type. In his research, he has made observations that have allowed him to combine two of the four sets of preferences, into four distinct temperament categories. Each of the sixteen personality types fits into one of these temperament categories. Human values are inherent within all, and are known and guide actions in different ways by each temperament.

Human Values and Personality Type

MBTIPersonality tests and type indicators are more prevalent in human life. These tests and indicators lead to self-understanding and adaptation to life personally and in culture and society. Human values are the guides to behaviour that can lead to well being and harmony, human fulfilment and flourishing. We look to both the five human values and personality tests and their impact.
