I know some folks find this website hard to use – it sometimes seems like a blog and other times like a fixed site….can’t it be both until I decide which works best?
Anyway, I wanted to clarify something on the whole subject of sound and language and the lost word.  Ive had a [...]

Every day we inadvertently disempower and limit ourselves, and empower others. Words are the means where others try to gain authority over you, and words are how you give your power away.

One thing I love about the sound and language work I do is the sheer comedy of what is staring us in our faces, for example, I love the comedy of people saying humans are not oppressed or enslaved, yet we wear collar, cuffs and a tie to work (if male.)
There are many examples like [...]

Science, as we know it, is based on a few rules.  First, there must be a point that is trying to be proved (eg proving the existence of the atom).  Second, and proof must be repeatable by others under similar conditions.  Third, there must be standard components which everyone agrees on.

To be ‘just’ is one of the highest accolades of behaviour one can have. It implies not only fairness,  understanding, and the weighting of circumstance [...]

Divinity is a powerful word, with an expansive and inclusive meaning.

How significant is sound? Consider these terms: Uni-Verse, Big Bang, Harmony, In-tune, a-tone-ment, In the Beginning was The Word, at-OM.
In these very simple words we have an amazing connection – that through different areas of human experience, from the specialisms of science and religion to the everyday experience of the average person – we all [...]

The problem with any conclusion is that it signifies ‘the end of something’. When a conclusion is reached, a matter is usually considered ‘closed’. This is a most dangerous position to adopt, in any respect. All conclusions, be they scientific or otherwise, should be recognised as temporary destinations until the next ‘piece of the puzzle’ [...]

we are happy enough to add words to our language when our understanding increases, but we don’t seem to stop using others in the same vein.
There are many words which will be addressed on this site, but to me, two of the most important to reconsider, or even move towards stopping their use entirely are [...]
