Stop Believing and Start Knowing thru Knowing

Brand Killer Robots reveal::
In a recent post we offered the statement, "Belief is a box on your head".

Our point was to emphasize how damaging belief is to humanity and how knowing differs greatly from the billions or so "belief systems" being pushed out there.

A kindly soul offered these words:
Knowing is rooted in experience, and is therefore different from belief.
Knowing is essentially an intuitive experience, and Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God.

If you stop concentrating on believing, you will begin to know.
All it takes is sitting still and listening deeply for the chatter of the soul.

God is talking to us all the time. We are just too busy to hear.

Letter to an Inspirational Genius - John F. Nash (Mathematician)

John F. Nash, Jr.Fine Hall -- Washington Road, Princeton, NJ, 08544-1000, USA

15.12.2007

Dear Mr Nash,

Thank you for being such an inspiration in my (Mr Robots) life. I don’t know you, but I feel that you must have “a beautiful mind”.

What you managed to do with your life was to take the path of - 'most resistance' and face it out even if it drove you to mental illness. You decided to take risks that others would never take. You decided that it wasn't enough to reach the highest standards set by one of the greatest minds that ever lived (Albert Einstein). You decided it wasn't enough to contribute works to a standard where you would be acknowledged and safe.

You decided that your own worth was less than your art and nothing was going to stop you, not even your own mental illness.

God has truly been with you in your life and for this, I thank you for being the messenger.

I thank you for never giving up on the human spirit, for “your original idea” and for “the mysterious equations of love”.

Love & Light, Nobel prize winner (John F. Nash)

A Beautiful Mind:: We ask - what price Genius?

Brand Killer Robots reveal::

If you haven't seen the film "A Beautiful Mind", then make sure you scan it soon. Starring Russell Crowe, a young but brilliant mathematician wins a place at one of Americas most prestigious universities, where he is expected to contribute works to the highest standard, in order to secure a position at one of U.S top military intelligence establishments. Unlike his peers, John Nash decides to reject the brief he is given by Professor Einstein, in favour of finding what he calls "his original idea". As he struggles to make any contribution at all, his peers are busy at work producing effective works, to the level required by the professor. Close to breaking point and entering a world of schizophrenia, where imaginary friends begin to enter his life, a series of events occur around John which brings him to the point of revelation - "his conception- a new form of bargaining strategy - where everybody wins, as long as they consider both themself and everybody else". His "orginal work" has stood the test of time and his strategies have been applied in many walks of life from financial markets to retail to biological studies.

What John had managed to do was to take the path of 'most resistance' and face it out until it drove him to mental illness. He decided to take risks that others would never take. He decided that it wasn't enough to reach the highest standards set by one of the greatest minds that ever lived. He decided it wasn't enough to contribute works to a standard where he would be acknowledged and safe.

He decided that his own worth was less than his own art and nothing was going to stop him, not even his own mental health.

So we ask - what price genius?

Why schizophrenia could be an asset to your brand - A defective or beautiful mind?

How many extremely smart people with mental illnesses have been ostracized by their peers and constructively dumped out in the middle of nowhere by the management team of the day? How many of these people could have added significantly to your brand, if you found it in your heart to understand them? Ask yourself, how much investment would it have taken to do this and more importantly - what might the return on investment have been?

If we all thought the same - how competitive might we be?

If we were all unwilling to challenge - how competitive might we be?

If we were all unable to accept each others differences - how effective as human beings might we be?

Anyone with a background living with MPS (multiple personality syndrome) or schizophrenia would be able to tell you just how competitive you could have been. Attached is a rather enlightening article for you, discussing the creative mind of schizophrenia sufferer Stuart Baker-Brown.

Produced by the BBC entitled "The beautiful mind"

Stuart Baker-Brown, 43, a photographer and writer based in Dorset, was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1996. On World Mental Health Day, he delivers a unique personal insight into how his condition has nurtured his artistic expression.

In the past, schizophrenia has broken my life and taken away many of life's opportunities, such as work and the ability to interact with society and family or even myself.
The symptoms have been very disabling and destructive and have included psychosis (delusion and hallucinations) which is understood to be a disturbance of sensory perception and creates the inability to recognise reality from the unreal.

Other daily symptoms, such as depression, suicidal thoughts, the feeling of being controlled by outside forces, paranoia and fear of persecution, have made life very difficult to cope with.
There is also the stigma and discrimination attached to the condition, especially the perceived link to violence - less than 1% of those diagnosed are violent towards others.
I believe the condition is very misunderstood, especially the link with creativity.

The Russian dancer Vaslav Nijinsky; Nobel prize winner in economics, John Nash (A Beautiful Mind); novelist, poet and writer, Jack Kerouac; and musicians such as Peter Green, Syd Barrett and James Beck Gordon have all either experienced, or are believed to have experienced, schizophrenia in some form.
