unplug from the group think

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 12:06 am By David Hayward

The greatest threat to an institution of any kind is individual thought. The greatest source of freedom to the individual is the same thing… thought. The truth will set you free. Unplug and think for yourself. See where it gets you. Read more

the bible and magical thinking

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 12:08 am By David Hayward

What came first? The magical thinking or the bible? Do our minds crave magic and we use the bible to substantiate this? Or did the bible encourage us to start thinking magically? Actually it’s not a very good question because the bible was written by men. Ancient men from ancient cultures where magic was just as much a part of the intellectual landscape as it is today, if not more so. No… actually I don’t think any more so because... Read more

Sophia’s nightmare

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 12:12 am By David Hayward

You can acquire original Sophia drawings such as this on from my gallery. I drew this to portray what Sophia’s worst nightmare is: disembodiment. I don’t mean physically, but emotionally and spiritually. She recognizes that she and her body has been objectified. She understands that the culture we live in would keep her divided against herself. She remembers that her religion has demonized her physicality, marginalized her mind, and diminished her spirit. She knows that she is weakened and ineffective... Read more

women with brains and mouths

Last updated on: March 12, 2013 at 6:05 pm By David Hayward

When men speak their minds all they have to be concerned about is their thoughts and presentation. When women speak their minds, they also are often aware of their gender and must push through discrimination. This is why when a woman’s thoughts land they often have twice the impact, because the thought has had to travel twice as far and through sometimes overwhelming opposition. I am proud to know and be friends with some incredibly intelligent and outspoken women. I... Read more

painting “cold crow” and meditation on loneliness

Last updated on: January 25, 2013 at 5:47 pm By David Hayward

When you start speaking out for yourself… self-validating… you will be met with surprise. I knew when I started being honest about who I was and what I believed and didn’t believe, I knew full well what the consequences were going to be. I was going to be left out in the cold. But it came at the perfect point when I was finally willing to pay the price. There does come a time when you realize that if you... Read more

be the whistle blower

Last updated on: January 25, 2013 at 8:50 am By David Hayward

Whistle blowing is a necessary and important activity. In fact, a decent federal government recognizes the legitimacy of whistle blowing. The following is from an official document from the U.S. Office of special counsel: A “whistleblower” discloses information he or she reasonably believes evidences: • A violation of any law, rule or regulation • An abuse of authority • Gross mismanagement • A gross waste of funds • A substantial and specific danger to public health or safety I admire...

Sophia’s Back

Last updated on: January 24, 2013 at 9:15 am By David Hayward

Don’t say, “Oh, poor Sophia!” She doesn’t need anyone’s pity. She’s one strong female. These are battle scars from a personal war she’s won. She’s a strong survivor. She’s liberated and liberal. She boasts about her wounds. She uses her tender but tough heart, her smart and sharp mind, and her prophetically pointed words to liberate others. Abusers beware! Read more
