SCIENCE, PSYCHOLOGY & THE MIND OF GOD – FORTNIGHTLY Terms 1 & 2, 9.30am
Computers and TV screens teach us about virtual reality and feedback systems. When Plato, Jesus, Newton and Einstein chose to share the way they saw reality, it was hard to describe the pictures in their heads.
1. We start with Einstein, using games, pictures and his own words to see the relative reality he saw.
2. We use role plays to show the reality Dr. Glasser taught world wide.
3. We see how needs, wants and behaviours describe a positive feedback system.
When you can see and do what Einstein called Relativity, and Glasser called Choice Theory, it is possible for you too to build a better reality. Do this and expect change for the better.
