Reflections on the Power of Thought
by Ryan Mendenhall
Almost childlike I instinctively reach for a book.
I take it and the thought of possessing it sooooths me…
“MINE!”
comes the voice of that energy.
I want, I need and soon I have
a bright, shinny book, with only mild thought of price.
They contain answers.
They are my medicine.
In them I find respite and in them I can stop the pain of personal experience.
I know this and just the thought, not even the reading of it, calms me when I hunger.
On my shelf now.
Mine.
The book is my medicine.

Are we creeping slowing and carefully ever so close to nations such as Sodom, Gamorrah, and ancient Greece? Perhaps history will have to repeat itself yet again for a people to learn that there ARE principles that stand thoughout time that have very real consequences in human suffering, misery and destruction.The Federal Marriage Amendment Is Hopeless: “THE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME COURT has legalized same-sex marriage for the first time in this country. Most suspect the U.S. Supreme Court will throw a blanket of federal constitutional protection around this precedent.”

Courses: “Experiential Learning”
One of the foremost humanist psychologists and educationalists, Carl Rogers (1959) promoted the idea of experiential learning. Rogers argued that the self is the centre of all experience, and introduced the phrase ‘unconditional positive regard’ as a philosophical approach to dealing with his clients and students. Essentially, each individual should be accepted for who they are, and how they perceive their worlds. According to another humanist psychologist George Kelly (1963), each individual will construe his or her world ‘in as many different ways as their wits will allow’.

Maslow’s Motivations
Courses: “Abraham Maslow (1954; 1970) researched into human motivation. He saw that there are several levels of human motivational needs which must be addressed if effective learning is to take place. These are as follows:
Biological needs – water, food, elimination, rest, warmth, avoidance of pain, etc.,
Safety needs – protection from the physical and social environment, protection from danger
Love and belonging needs – love and acceptance through relationships, group membership, friendship, etc.,
Esteem needs – achievement, competence, approval, recognition, prestige, status
Self actualisation – personal growth, and the development of our unique potentials. Also cognitive understanding and aesthetic experience “
