Unmasking Higher Sensing Driven Giftedness
10/11/23 • 24 min
We have an educational and medical system deeply rooted in the behaviorism model of psychology, a methodology pioneered by B.F. Skinner. Regrettably, our education system is more inclined toward training and conditioning rather than true education. Thanks to Skinner's influence, we've all been shaped by a system that assumes uniformity and expects us to learn prescribed information and conform to predefined roles.
In neurodivergent communities, I often inquire why we continue to strive for integration into a system and society that doesn't truly embrace us. With our heightened sensory perception, we are uniquely equipped for the future, but our society neglects to nurture or comprehend these abilities.
Our future is poised for significant changes across economic, ecological, and technological landscapes, yet we persist in adhering to outdated educational paradigms that ill-prepare us for what lies ahead. I find this approach illogical. I believe we must explore the full extent of human potential. We've trained animals to utilize their senses for our protection and care. Why aren't we doing the same for ourselves?

2 Types of Intuition - One Leads to Genius. The Other Oppression.
Did you know there are 2 types of intuition?
I first discovered this when I read the book Thinking Fast and Slow. A book I promptly chucked across the room because it violated all of my sensibilities. But it also kept me trying to understand why my intuition worked so well now and didn't work so well when I was a kid. I figured it out and now you can too.
I reference the following in my podcast:

Even "Normal" Is Now Dysfunctional
We have come full circle. I have been saying that the creatives will be the future for a while. Every day, I see more people joining me in this perspective. To the extent that even 'normal' is being questioned in how it navigates the world. 'Normal' is being called dysfunctional in some situations. But if 'normal' is now considered dysfunctional, what is 'functional'? What criteria are they using to distinguish good functioning from bad functioning?
Perhaps that is the wrong question. Maybe I should be asking whether there ever was one and, if so, what was it?
It appears the focus on deficits is increasing. No one seems to have a clear message on how to address it. There is just an abundance of information on how not to address it.
This is a positive development for the spatially gifted because there is a void emerging regarding what steps to take next and who to follow. Everyone is realizing that there might not be a leader who knows what to do as things deteriorate. I believe we are those leaders, and we should step up to this opportunity to lead. We understand what struggle feels like. We comprehend how challenging it is to function in an environment that is working against us. We are the most sensitive, which means we are the most prepared."
I reference the following articles in the podcast.
