My Ideal Education System for Namibia

My friend Micheal "Mike" Nauta asked me to give him my Ideal education system for Namibia in 2030, I initially thought I had next to nothing to say on the topic but I recalled two excellent posts on home-schooling by Leo Babauta and Penelope Trunk I read a few years back and wondered if it could be adapted to make a nationwide impact, the vision that came  to me was beautiful. It's rather controversial as I am not a proponent of the current traditional "School System" I'll even go as far as to say that the children who follow this path in the future will be left behind but without further adieu here's my thoughts.

It is my dream that in the Future all children will have access to a completely independent school system, where the initial goal will be to expose children to as many things as possible, psychologically identify their personality type with a series of simple questions and then let THEM individually decide what they want to do with their free time as long it's specified and somewhat constructive. It should be a free flowing system where those who want to do Math all day are free to do so, those who prefer to draw and make models of planes all day may do so as well, and so on. There should be no penalties on any decisions made and children should be able to change from what ever they're learning at will, the idea is that all children in Namibia should be able to fuel and follow their curiosity unhindered and independently search for answers. Naturally this will require a nation wide availability of computers/tablets, and most importantly the Internet an excess of instructors would also be benaficial. While this is all rather controversial and can't fully be explained in just one post I feel this will generate an incredible amount of specialised, independent thinkers and innovative entrepreneurs. 

The thought of Namibia being at the forefront of ushering in the new, formless and flexible stage of human education along with the developed countries (who are only now realizing the system is flawed) absolutely excites me. I do think it's possible but it will also require very present parents/guardians, because a child cannot do this level of self discovery alone. This form of education can even be done at home if the child wishes to do so. Exposure to new interest should always be around, be it books, magazines, even word of mouth and if interests are identified early perhaps exposure to people more established in the said industry can be facilitated.

So after a nationwide growth in awareness, maturity and significant financial investment perhaps this dream can be realized and we'll have an incredibly innovative generation, with real world skills instead of more squandered school days in an attempted "One size fit's all" system.

The Power of Now

Hi, life has been great these days it always is and it always should be, my life situation however isn't what most would call appealing though I'm finding it hard to perform well in all my courses. The beauty of this though is that it got me to pick up a book called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, it was sent to me a while back but I only now managed to churn through it. It fitted seamlessly with my previous spiritual knowledge, but I recommend it to everyone it's a fantastic read and is simply one of those "life enhancing" books and it's not too long winded.
But yes this is probably one of the crappiest periods of my life however it's the happiest I've ever been because I have accepted that time is an imaginary concept there is no past or future all you have is Now, and to jeopardize your awareness of Now for the sake of a future that does not exist is madness, you right now at this very moment have nothing to worry about, think about it what do you possibly have to worry you at this very instant. Reconnect with the stillness that is within you, never spend another moment of your life without a portion of your attention directed within, start living through joy and not obligation. Slowly manifest what YOU want out of your life using this very moment Fuck the Past and most certainly Fuck the future they don't exist wake up! This moment is all you have enjoy and embrace every second of it despite your "situation". What you're going through should be irrelevant to your inner happiness and stillness. Much Love to all of you.

How to become rich.

It's past midnight here in Namibia and I'm up early tomorrow. I have alot to say so I'll do my best to condense my ideas in this post.
Firstly realize that "rich" or "wealth" are subjective terms. You'll need to identify what you personally really want particularly in terms of lifestyle and possessions. Quantify it, make it tangible, there's more than enough to go around. Also realize that however you intend to go about this will take a couple thousand hours maybe more, this is where terms like "do what you love" come into play because it will make the commitment to your goals easier. Instead of simply telling you to "go out there and kick ass at what you love." I suggest you cultivate your passion like it's your child, intuitively chase your interests even if they don't seem to coincide stick with some of them then start connecting the dots, you'll eventually find that you are the only one or one of a few that have your particular set of "skills." "Thanks to neuroplasticity you can be whoever the fuck you want to be." My friend Ivo once told me.
Decide that you want to be rich as well, this is invaluable as it will open you up to opportunities you never noticed before. When you have a genuine and conscious desire to be rich you notice a lot more; market gaps, opportunities to serve, even the right people will start to manifest.

Thanks to books such as The Secret there has been a recent boom in New Age thinking ideals, you probably have the gist of what I'm alluding to. While I do agree with most of the ideas presented in such books, they miss out on one big thing, Contrasting your visualizations, yes without this your visualizations are just unrooted pipe dreams. You can't just deny your current reality you need to visualize exactly what type of life and THEN with joy, consider and accept where you are now and notice the gap then think of something, absolutely anything that gets you even an inch closer to where you want to be and ACT on it. Action produces waves and you need to make waves if you want to make it big my friend, even if it's just cultivating the habits your "rich ideal self" will have, get to it today, if you can't then you really don't want to be rich per say and that's fine, look for your bliss and chase it down relentlessly.

I want to live in New York one day, and continue manifesting the life I desire there because I feel my current purpose in life would be better fulfilled there, however I am an unemployed student so graduating and sharpening my personal skills is what I can and need to accomplish, in order to crawl even closer to the big apple, luck is on my side and it will be for you aswell.
I know that I truly can't really tell you how to be rich based on mine and other's experiences so you'll have to be aware and identify what works for you when you look at the big picture and start distilling your life around those personally identified principles, basically nothing I or anyone else has said on the topic will work until you go out and test it for yourself. What's your Ideal Life what do you think will get you there? All the best to you, make the journey an interesting one.

Life as an Intuitive Feeler. "ENFP"

If I could describe being an ENFP in one sentence, I would have to say "one living, breathing, walking, paradox." Anyone who knows me at all, know's that I live pretty much with my head in the clouds, even when people are interacting with me. It's not because I (or rather we because I know there are those who can relate), but yes it's not because we're not in the present moment, it's because we're being bombarded with soo many little things, maybe even things about you that it's easier to just kind of float away and feel my way through things.
If you feel like we're ignoring what you're saying we're not, we're probably noticing other little things about you and just taking in life because life is pretty grand, just poke us and remind us of your presence in our current reality and you'll find we're actually very engaging, warm and extremely verbose.
We feel uncomfortable in a room full of strangers yet meeting and understanding a stranger makes us happier than most other things can, we'll probably talk about you for the rest of that day and have a little "high" because we seek out and treasure that which is novel, but we still care deeply about all our current and old friends. One day I'm vehemently proclaiming Beethoven as the only thing worth listening to and the next I'm saying Nicki Minaj is an extremely talented and tragically misunderstood artist. I'll say that sex is a precious and deeply meaningful act yet I would probably engage in an orgy if I felt the people present were trustworthy and valued. I take time to deeply think about things but I have no opinion on most pertinent issues in the world unless someone enticed me to read up on it.
So please don't be offended if we're in the clouds again, just bring us back we won't mind and we'll greatly appreciate that you did, just be prepared to be fascinated.

Stop Idealizing. Start Accepting.

"Resist Nothing." That right there is one of the most important phrases in my life, and has become a major influence over how I approach most situations in my life after reading about it on High Existance. Recently however I was hurt because I didn't stick to my own ideals.
I have a friend who for all intents and purposes was just not a good presence in my life but I resisted what I already knew and thought that showing her selfless love was the best course of action, this love I gave her was ultimately used to manipulate me although it probably wasn't on purpose on her part.
This ordeal taught me something though that all love you give to another person that does not emanate from a deeper part of you will ultimately end in pain for either one or both of the parties involved. Stop forcing your love on anyone because it's what you THINK you should do and just accept them for what they are, warts and all. Only then will your love bubble through to the surface and even if it's not a not a great deal of love it's genuine and that's all what anyone really wants and you can give it to anyone and everyone, but only if you're aware enough and willing to accept them for who they (or rather what you think) they are.
Anyways I don't know why this post manifested in YOUR reality, but I'm humbled and grateful that it did. As usual drop me a comment and let me know what you think or email me if you want me to answer your questions and perhaps offer you advice at: madalahamunyela@gmail.com

My Breaking Bad Eulogy

I haven't watched the Finale yet I'm not so sure if it's even dropped yet, but before I watch I found it fitting to give you (more likely myself) some closure.

I had the privilege and curse of watching the entire series over a span of 2 week. A privilege because this is easily the greatest thing to happen to television in my generation, and a curse because my academic life suffered while I endured my insatiable craving of watching the incredible plot unfold, and if I wasn't watching the Breaking Bad I was laughing at Breaking Bad memes. As any other Breaking Bad fan will tell you the show is simply incredible, you memorise the quotes upon hearing them the first time because the pierce right through to your core when you hear them for the first time, you also probably never knew you were capable of such levels of sympathy before you saw things turn sour for Mr White after he "Broke Bad". I've grown as a person from watching this show and there's very few shows I can say that about (Naruto being one of them of course). 

So in closing Congratulations to Vince Gilligan, Bryan Cranston and the rest of the cast and crew the show was epic and the memories irreplaceable.

Your Friends are YOU.

I tend to place great importance in my friendships in fact  I could say that friends might easily be the most important thing in my life right now. Although I'm flighty and don't speak to all of them constantly I'm incredibly loyal and deeply love each and every one of them even my acquaintances.

However I've been wondering which aspect of your psyche do the friends in your life embody think about it, every single one of your friends embodies a trait which you either posses yourself or would like to possess, and seeing as your ideal self is just another variation of you we can confidently say that your friends are really just a mirror of your current psyche if, If you were to put all your friends in a room and have them interact with one another you'd basically just be watching aspects of your psyche interacting with each other. Which is one of the reasons my best friend enjoys hosting dinner parties, I feel like if you chose your most radical friends and had a meal with them that would be an incredible act of self discovery. 

Which is why the more self aware you are, and you know who you want to be, the right friends will just manifest into your life. So don't be a slave to your circumstance develop a clear mental image of who you want to be, the type of friends you want to have and start being that person TODAY by embodying the traits you want (Fake it till you make it folks), it's that simple. 

Make sure you're aware enough to notice when one of these gems manifest into your life and treasure them, your interpersonal relationships truly are what life is about in the end. It is afterall one of the top five regrets of the dying

As always I'm keen to hear what you have to say, so comment and tell me what you think.

The meditative experience that was my 21st! :)

Do you have a Zen Mode? When for a while it feels like all the answers you need just seamlessly flow into your head, I experience these momentary shifts in my level of consciousness quite regularly, but my life (I'm an Engineering student) Doesn't really allow me to dwell on that plane, I genuinely feel I would lose touch with reality if I stayed there.
Recently at a party at my house, my 21st actually I entered this state momentarily and I just started preaching my philosophy of Love because really that is all there is. I was telling all the people around me to emancipate themselves from the their ego's, I ended explaining to a group of girls that anyone who thinks they aren't beautiful is just deluded and is not yet mature and aware enough to realise just how beautiful they are.
One rather attractive petite girl, justifiably so wasn't buying into anything I was saying and I just held her and told her from the deepest, purest and most genuine part of my heart... "I Love you." She didn't understand I explained I loved her for simply being apart of my existence, my reality and I wasn't in the mood to hold it back. Needless to say she ended up in my room and we had a... Tantalising experience I enjoyed the moment and the night thoroughly, although I didn't have an easy time explaining things to her when a French girl I met earlier that week rocked up later that evening and I carried her in my arms to the Pseudo-Dance Floor that was my TV room where I had a playlist of french songs primed for her arrival. Anyways this how I started increasing my levels of awareness, It's a form of meditation I suppose.

• Lay on your back look into the distance, or focus on whatever you'd like, breath slightly deeper and relax completely let a wave of relaxation come over you notice the weight of your arms, then your legs and eventually your body.
• Listen to every possible sound around you even ones in the distance, you might even hear a small ringing sound if it's quiet.
• Notice how the clothes feel on your skin and how the surrounding temperature feels on your skin.
• You should start to notice a subtle veil of static over your field of vision, (like when you're in a really dark room) take note of it the more static you can see and the clearer it is the better, but don't force it.
• Just let the cosmic knowledge (Whatever you want to call it) come to you.

Anyways this might work for you perhaps it won't whatever if it does then great if not then that's fine too. Eventually you'll be able to enter this state throughout the day but it's more intense when you do it in solitude.
There are many benefits to this many of which you would enjoy discovering on your own, otherwise feel free to ask me any questions if you have any, or if you want me to give my thoughts on whatever situation in your life I'm more than keen to answer.

Grounded

Now I am a pretty impulsive person in nearly all aspects, especially in speech. I am incapable of thinking before I say (Or even sometimes send) something, I tend to say the first thing that comes to my mind, and this doesn't really help me when trying to attract members of the opposite sex. I do have my fair share of female friends but they keep around because I'm like their yapping Jack Russel, I make for good conversation most of the time, but do they fuck me? Well actually yes some of them do but it's a paltry amount. Now I feel it's only fair to you for making it this far that I reward you with a cure and get you sounding smooth as James Bond for once alright here it is:

First go youtube Elliot Hulse watch his videos on grounding exercises and stretches, this is just to train yourself so you can start breathing DEEP or as the man's mantra goes "Breath into your Balls" it'll improve your voice and make you like 200% more level headed.

Second some simple neck strengthening exercises to strengthen your neck muscles, (You can do them on your bed don't be a bitch), one is lay on your bed facing upwards while everything from the shoulders up is off the bed (Your head almost in mid air) Drop your head back to your right and raise it to your left side 

about 15 times do it for both sides, this is also just to deepen your voice

Last but not least, this is a bit more spiritual and esoteric in nature, you want to withhold anything you want to say until you've confirmed it internally, don't analyse everything you say but just wait for some lights to go off inside before you spew the shit you want to say, take a "it's a No until I get a Yes" approach to what you want to say, trust me people will treat you like you're important if you feel what you have to say is important enough that it must wait.
To clarify here's the quote from Jonathan Zap: "A woman I know has been practicing a wonderful inner discipline that accords with the I Ching principle of holding back. She calls the practice “inner yes.” Until a choice lights up in her whole body and being, an inner yes, then the answer is no and she waits. This takes patience, but saves her from many costly mistakes. Similarly, the I Ching puts a high value on reticence, holding back with spoken words and other actions, until you are sure you have the inner yes. When you are dealing with a captive audience, for example while riding in a vehicle, I believe that a moral person should have strong inhibitory filters before they speak. If I speak to a captive audience I am usually blocking any members of that audience from being able to effectively concentrate on their own thoughts. So before I encroach on the perceptual space of the other, I ought to be convinced that what I have to say is something they need to hear, or that it at least has sufficient entertainment value, as compared to me venting or indulging the narcissistic urge to capture attention."

Bonus: Don't Give a fuck about what others think about what you have to say, if it feels right with you internally then don't hold anything back, Express YOUR truth!

First Post... Bitch

As for the title I have been watching an obscene amount of Breaking Bad lately, reading up on the personality types of each of the characters too. For those who are wondering and aren't new to Mbti type theory Walt is an INTJ and Jessie is an ESFP interestingly they're exact opposites.
As for why I started blogging well one can't be too sure really, everyone was giving me advice like: "Make it about something that interests you" or "Do it to serve others" or "Allow your highest self (soul) to express itself." So I figured I'd use it to just consolidate the thoughts of my perpetually scattered brain.
