I check it out regularly just to try and keep in touch with myself... I enjoyed reading what you had to say about institutionalized learning. I love reading and often try to find good sources of information. Now, what is "a good source of information"? Everything we produce is an interpretation of the world and how we see it. I studied science and used to see the world through very pragmatic glasses. Now that I am taking a more spiritual path, the colour of my glasses is changing and I interpret the same things very differently! So, even when the very nature of the information we read remains unaltered, how we interpret it can make a huge difference. I am learning to trust my internal messages in terms of the feelings that information triggers on me, apart from trying to acquire a more global understanding of how the world works. But of course, it's no more than my very own interpretation!! In institutionalized learning, we seem to be getting an interpretation that suits the perpetuation of the current state of our society... Thanks again, Marijo First of all, thanks for this blog. I check it out regularly just to try and keep in touch with myself…

But of course, it’s no more than my very own interpretation!!
