The gap between high and low education
0€ 14,95The gap between high and low educated has a long history, since the Renaissance in the 16th century, and she still grows. She creates discrimination and prejudice, and is accompanied by a gap in income.
In the 20th century there appeared to be a rebirth of humanism, in the cultural revolution of the 1960’s, but that faded away when the ‘babyboomers’ joined the game of the established order.
The gap is fatal, not only for the low educated, but for society as a whole, including the high educated. Growth of understanding, knowledge and skill requires assimilation and accommodation, and the gap limits this. For a flou-rishing society, a connection between theory and practice is needed.

The important difference between looking and seeing
0€ 19,95The distant ancestors from Egypt and India spoke of the veil of Isis or Maya. It is the mother (Isis, Maya) who gives life and teaches a child to look.

You have to experience and discover the world behind the words and through the acquired habits, in doing so lift the veil of Isis and start to see. This subsequently changes the way one looks and experiences the world. In addition, it offers new opportunities in art, politics, and science.
