One of the lived practical skills we learn from a very young age is how to read in terms of comprehending and understanding the written word in its visual form. We have also been taught how to write – meaning, constructing sentences and applying the use of appropriate punctuation to complete paragraphs and sentences and so on. As we grow from the child to an adult and living in the world, we complete various set levels of what is known as ‘education’ – primary, secondary and senior secondary school. Then there are those who progress onto either university studies or other forms of tertiary education. |
During these years of indoctrination into the education system in its’ current form – we develop our ability to write in a way that ‘fits in’ with the way the world recognises ‘competent, scholarly or professional’ writing. As adult learners – we are taught how to reference the written work of other authors, and that an essay or thesis cannot be written credibly without the backing of reference material. Given the way the world is – we can say that all this has its place for now and indeed serves a purpose, in the way we live and move in all facets of the temporal world.
What is missing from the world of authorship however, are more people consistently writing from a place of deep connection within themselves.
Connection meaning – true connection with the soul that allows one to communicate and express freely and truly from that essence.
