Integrating the Spirals: With the possible exception of research institutes, Higher Ed lags behind

When I worked for a university (for ten years), I came to realize just how much the formal education system lagged behind in the knowledge they were teaching.

Consider this. Think about how long it takes to get a group of academics together to make degree program decisions, gather textbooks together (it often takes years for authors to write and publish textbooks!), recruit and hire faculty, as well as, prepare learning objectives, course syllabus, outline, instructions, tutorials, learning aids and all other materials. It’s no small feat! And all of that takes time.

A college or university administrative staff then has to prepare a course catalog and academic calendar schedule. And this is only some of the work that has to be done on the student registration side! There are all other kinds of actions that must be performed (setup) before students can show up to attend classes: admissions, financial aid, bookstore, etc.

When you get down to the nitty gritty of it, you can begin to understand why college programs are not on the cutting edge of science.

My educated conclusion? Research institutes may seem like they are on the leading edge of science, but they are also likely slower at disseminating their research findings and groundbreaking discoveries than most of us want to believe.

One way I integrate mind and body

Part of what I teach in Integrating the Spirals is bodily movement when reaching new awareness, setting new intentions, or receiving new information to fully embody it.

JIGGLE BUTT has become the daily integration exercise I do that’s fun! It started as a way to promote my husband’s original songs, but now, it has become so much more!

I hope to encourage others over 60 to be open to lifelong learning, aware of thoughts and emotions, consistently move their bodies, become strong, resilient, and create their own Jiggle Butt videos too!

Integrating the Spirals: How to spot a scam

My credit union sent the following helpful information and tips regarding scams to me (and their other customers) the other day. I found it useful, so I thought I would share it:

Don’t get caught in a Money Mule scam – from my credit union. For obvious reasons I don’t want to disclose the name.
Red flags to watch for and how to protect yourself

I had never heard of a Money Mule scam before. I mean, I guess in concept but not in name.

Now, it’s up to us to do our due diligence to ensure we don’t fall victim to scammers.

By being better informed we can stop scammers from stealing our hard earned money!

Perplexity

I’m using Perplexity AI now to copy and paste potential job scam offers. I’m also using it to ask some scholarly questions pertaining to the research I have done for my 5th book!

So far, I am finding the answers and feedback it provides very helpful!
