You've been lied to about everything. The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read or write, but those who cannot unlearn the many lies they've been taught to believe.

Stained glass experts at Canterbury Cathedral have just finished work on a magnificent 19ft high window, described as one of their most challenging commissions for many years.
The window has been created for a church in Dallas, Texas but before jetting off to the States panels from the window will be on public display in the Treasury area of the Cathedral Crypt from Saturday 4 February (13.30 hrs until 16.00 hrs on this day) until 22 February.
The Cathedral’s team of glaziers has been working on the medieval-style window, which is based on Canterbury’s Redemption window in the Corona, for the last two years. Commissions are undertaken by the Stained Glass Studio to offset the cost of conserving the Cathedral’s own historic glass but the Dallas project was not going to be without its headaches for the experienced Canterbury conservators.
Director of the Stained Glass Studio Leonie Seliger explained: “It was important to the Episcopalian clergy that the design should pay homage to the original stained glass of Canterbury Cathedral. This was a massive undertaking because the windows here were produced by the greatest stained glass artists of the time so to replicate their work would require an incredible amount of talent and skill.”
“First and foremost we wanted to make sure it would be as true to the original as possible, not only in the design but in the iconography and stories. I had long phone calls with their theological adviser about the exact content of the cartoons, different attributes and colours, and it occurred to me this is the same conversation that would have taken place 800 years ago between the Prior and the Glazier – it was as if the distance in time collapsed upon itself.”
Challenges
It was not going to be as simple as copying what went before as the new window incorporates different geometric shapes, which meant repositioning many of the features whilst making sure that they told the same story.
Areas of Canterbury’s Redemption window have been damaged and replaced over the centuries so to be true to the medieval period, the design of elements – as intricate as faces and wings – had to be borrowed from other medieval glass in the Cathedral and even from France.
Getting the actual glass right was to be another challenge as Leonie explained: “Due to building regulations in Texas all new public buildings must include a special energy saving glass. This outer layer of glass has a distinct greenish-brown hue, which meant that we had to choose brighter colours for the stained glass to counteract that. Another challenge was that modern production is so refined that there are very few imperfections in the colours or thickness and we worried that this would deaden the final design. So we contacted the glassblowers who supply us and asked them if it was possible to recreate those lovely variations that you can see in the original medieval glass. And they did. It meant a lot of unlearning for them and some trial and error, but eventually they managed to un-refine their process and produce this marvellous glass.”
The final design features three narrow arched windows with three rosettes above. The central lancet depicts the end of the Passion story from the Crucifixion to the Resurrection and then the Ascension with stories from the Old Testament, including Abraham sacrificing his son (pictured right), on either side.
Every minute detail has been important as the window is to be used by clergy in Dallas to illustrate Bible stories for young members of the congregation and they plan to use cameras to blow up sections as small as a 50p coin on to large screens during services.
Leonie summed up the work: “There is an irony in that aspects of the final window are probably closer to the original work of the medieval stained glass makers than the actual window it’s based on. Also, we did not artificially age the new work, so what you see now is very close to what the windows in Canterbury Cathedral looked like 800 years ago – before surface corrosion and repairs changed their appearance significantly. The completed Dallas window contains a huge number of tiny pieces of glass, more pieces than any other window we have produced in my time here. It was a very ambitious project and one that every member of the stained glass workshop was involved in.”
“A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off. You also must show the unlearned man the truth, and you will see that he will follow. But so long as you do not show it him, you should not mock, but rather feel your own incapacity.”

Natalie Shell ponders the change in our feelings toward what we consider long term:
“Long term” thinking means 1 year, maybe 2…not 5 years, not 20, or 100...
natalieshell.com/2010/12/21/on-the-increasing-speed-of-ch...
- Thinking 20 and 100 years both backwards and forward is becoming a more and more important innovation tool for me. I see that splitting my thinking into a thousand pieces and then a more or less random distribution of the pieces into emergent networks has formed an unavoidable milestone within the process of learning to take longer term persperctives. Everything being cut short is not necessarily bad at all when we consiously put effort in really using it as a method of enabling the appearance of different behaviour, attitudes and thinking within the (working) cultures we have impact on - and who have impact on us. The past three years have convinced me that concrete (even very) small daily changes in behaviour gradually automatically cause changes in attitudes which then gradually produces different thinking. It's a very much more efficient process than trying to switch the thoughts first - which is how almost 100% of our education systems currently are built... To unconstruct - that's why we need networked methods encouraging critcal thinking -> attitude change -> change in behaviour -> corrective actions in our (working) cultures. Becoming connective means making the transfer, transformation and transitions real - starting the other way around compared with the way we've used to understand how teaching / coaching is organized. Things to be unlearned include: expecting course kinds of settings, linear perception of time, working mostly with people you already know, getting immediate and steady results...
When we learn to constantly carry in mind how we are now impacted by decisions made 20 and 100 years ago - and how our choices impact to the 2030's and all the way to the 22nd century - innovation projects become obsolete. => Innovations have become parts of our everyday actions.
“I’ve been on my own since the age of twelve. My mom decided that her drug-dealing boyfriend was more important than me. One night I came home from playing and the key wouldn’t turn. I started banging on the door but nobody answered. I lived with friends for the next few years. I went from house to house, couch to couch. My friend’s mom was a bartender so she got me a job washing dishes. I saved enough money to get a car when I turned sixteen, and I drove out to Arizona. I was pregnant by the time I was twenty-one. My son changed my life. I didn’t turn into Mother Theresa overnight. I had to unlearn everything I’d ever known. I had to learn how to do things the right way, not sell drugs, not cut corners. Right now I’m trying to finish college while being a single mother. I’m taking care of my eighty-three year old grandmother. I just beat cancer for the second time in four years. But things seem to be quiet now. I’m always holding my breath, though. The story of my life has been the calm before the storm.”
As a sensitive street photographer you shoot pictures first on the heart of your consciousness, the mind pulls you towards the picture you were predestined to shoot ,
Even if you don’t have a camera at a that time , the subject will come back along with the moment to be shot by you.
I possess the third eye of Shiva embedded in the consciousness of my camera bodied brain, I had finished my walk at the Carter Road and while the rickshah sped away I saw a man asleep in a sack and some words on the iron fencing , I turned my rickshaw and took two shots.. such is the art of unlearning poetry .. through a pictorial frame..
Meditation is medicine for relaxation and inner peace
Said the writing on the iron fence,,
Man lay enwombed in a sack and no defense
All this captured by Shiva embedded in my camera lens
Man asleep with nothing but his loneliness as common sense
Across the road Otters club cars Honda Toyota Mercedes Benz
He slept undisturbed. his troubles woes wretchedness
Handwritten by gods pen..
Animalistic cravings of a specie self destructive that they call men
A cock that needs to crow each morning before humping the mother hen.
A ghost dog of a American lama who eats stinking fish. At buzznet they call him ben
Me my words he calls mantras ..his kindness my talisman..
As a mind logging blogger I have one death wish that one day all bloggers fuck newsmen..
Amen..

I repainted crow again. the first time I painted her I didn't have any sealant and was yet unlearned in the ways of vinyl, so her head is really badly stained. not that you can tell.
anyway, her current repaint is special to me because it was completely spontaneous. I usually outline with watercolour pencils before painting, but I didn't with this. and I actually dig how it came out.
PHILIPPINES: Women’s College Corrects Gender Miseducation
MANILA, Apr 16 , 2010 (IPS) - Flip open a typical textbook used in many Philippine schools and you will likely find images of women illustrating verbs such as ‘cook’ or ‘clean’, but hardly appearing anywhere much in economics and history textbooks.
This has an interesting story I had just got to know Mr KG Maheshwari was invited to his birthday party, but Mrs Maheshwari was sceptical about my atrocious sense of dressing she had hinted to my other Guru Mr BW Jatkar in the picture to see that I wore clothes , a bit tamely, hence to appease her I wore simple clothes.. less make up less jewllery ..but the last time I met them I was on Pitru Visarjan this year I was a mess barefeet had walked from Banganga Walkeshwar to their bungalow at Napean Sea Road.. after duly washing my feet in their garage..
Now they dont bother about my dress code and this picture was shot in 2001.

is this not one of the most beautiful spontaneous group hugs you've ever seen? :)
there's something amazing about children that we lose as we grow up; spontaneity of happiness and emotion, enjoying simplicity, direct communication, transparency and simple joy.
this always points itself out to me at weddings.
sometimes as adults we need to unlearn, unteach and learn from children.
I am the artist Sparro Kennedy, and I am dedicated to promoting the idea that violence is not a necessary element of humanity. For the past 2 1/2 years, I have been practicing. I have criss-crossed the United States learning, relearning, and unlearning ideas, techniques and processes.
I learned my techniques from the world. For example, my brush-stroke style came from a gentlemen who worked as a super in New York. He only painted walls with brushes, and he taught me how to “pat the wall”. I learned pastels from a friend in Detroit who taught me to “use my whole body, like when you dance…” I learned watercolors from a date in New Orleans who bought me a drink and said “Do you baby, and when I come back, I want to see something.” A street art vendor in New York brought me the best brushes I ever used, and told me that the secret to acrylics, is “using the best brush for your stroke.” A prisoner serving time for a crime he didn’t commit, helped me understand shading, and developed my blending skills. My friends, and some strangers, have bought me paper, canvas, pencils, and many other things to support my journey to becoming an artist. I owe it to everyone, including myself, to give it a shot.
As an artist, I know absolutely nothing about art. I am completely concerned about my product and progress (as far as I am concerned, other artists paint like me…I don’t care how old they are). I love to look at it when I get a chance. I can stare at good brush strokes for hours. The artists that I do have knowledge of I appreciate their work, and I am so glad that they were able to live and create. Elijiana Forto is the most prolific artist I know. She has mastered brush technique.
I realize that the world has impeccable standards for photographic reproduction of art, but I do not have access to that privileged right now, so I am giving you what I have (cellphone pics). Beaux Cauchemar is my current line. It took me six months to develop this body of work. It is the first completed body of work I have created, and I am incredibly proud of it…even though I think its terrible. I appreciate my sponsor who provided the funding for the space I needed to create the exhibit, and I would like to give a special thanks to friend of mine who provided me with the paint to do the jobs(He is homeless, and he created the resources necessary to help me). I would also like to thank my “silent ninja” for the paper on which the series was created.
I want to be able to support myself, and fix my legal troubles through the appreciation of my art. I hope that people viewing my website and pages understand that I appreciate their appreciation. I would appreciate their appreciation more, if it was tangible. Please comment, like my page, and spread the word, so that I won’t be destitute my entire life.

The written description says the ripples to the right of the communication network are ambiguous. Could be the desert sands drifting in. What I see is the passage of time erasing the old pathways. Entropy. Unlearning.

#kouluschool occupied the old premises of the Lapinlahti Mental Hospital in Helsinki during the last weekend. The issue was peer teaching / unlearning together. - When the teacher simultaneously learns / unlearns what s/he teaches - s/he feels the feelings of the co-learners. This is the phenomenon I feel most badly lacks within present teaching.
Special thanks to Heikki Vuorila for daring to choose Socratic Dialogue for an unlearning method and Erja Lahdenperä for deepening the theme of the day - flourishing!
...flourishing is a starting point - not a goal!

My master KG Maheshwari the great eminent photo artist taught me how to unlearn photography, he taught me to see the world through the viewfinder , but read it as prose and transform it as a pictorial poetry…
This is photography , how you read a thought and how you write it down as a picture.Photography , the Brahmanic form of photography requires that you find a guru, touch his feet , give him guru dakshina , and you have found a path.Pictorial nirvana comes with time , faults, mistakes and the guidance of the guru..
My first lesson of photography came from the Mahabharta , Donacharya shoting the Pandvas and Kaurvas archery , archery is photography, some shot the tree , some shot the fruit only Arjun shot the eye of the bird , and if in a portrait you capture the glint in the eye your picture lives forever, yes I am a Muslim and for me good photography is Hinduism my cultural inheritance, in one lesson of the Mahabharta, I learnt depth of field, angle of focus, perspective, circle of confusion and shooting into the eye of a needle.
I do not need Brookes, all I need is a stream of thought and the hands of my Guru , yes I am blessed I have three gurus.. Mr KG Maheshwari, Mr B WJatkar and Mr Shreekanth Malushte.
Incidentally the 84 year old Mr KG Maheshwari industrialist magnate,philanthrophist, is called Dronacharya, by those who rever him, this legendary Yousef Karsh of India.

17.3. 13 Right Over Her Own Body and Mind, and Her Right to Say NO! Seen the latest lata Sky ad? A young man builds up towards asking his male friend if he can take the latter's sister out to dinner. There is a tense silence as .
the sister (sitting demure and silent with downcast eyes) and the young man wait for the brother's rage to explode. Then the brother says gruffly, "Yes, but bring her back before 10 pm." The 'humour' in the ad draws from the possibility of the brother's violent rage. What is It that makes us, as a society, consider such situations perfectly 'normal'? Why is it part of our everydaylives that women have to be constantly 'protected' byguardians, they have to ask permission to go out for dinner .
with friends, to choose partners, to choose careers. .
A spurned lover makes a video film of his girlfriend, on the sly in the act of love, in order to avenge her refusal. Morali1y of the girl .
in the footage became coffee table conversation in Jawaharlal Nehru University even as some of us were taking vicanous .
pleasure in watching the tape in pr;vate. Th1s, despite the fact that the guy who shot it. was In the same footage. Women are the .
objects of desire, at the same time, 'morality and chastity'. Women on campus have often been asked to sign in when they enter .
the boys hostels, fined for staying back over-night, chastised by the security guards over their 'modestly' while sittmg in public. .
Women are constantly told that for the sake of their 'protection', they cannot venture out in the evenings, they cannot dress the way .
they like, they have to keep seeking 'permission' for anything they do even when they are adults perfectly capable of mal<ing .
choices for themselves. For millions of women. every single important choice in life is mediated and controlled in the name of .
.
'protecting' their 'safety and honour'. .
What exactly is this 'raksha'? Is this 'raksha' -this protection by fammes, brothers, fathers, mothers and cousins -just a show .
of love and care? The Tata Sky ad reminds us that 'raksha' Is more than a bond of affection. Let us recall how the young journalist .
.
Nirupama Pathak was brutally killed by her family (ostensibly with the help of her mother. father and uncle) because she dared to .
choose a partner. In the past few months there have been any number of instances from different states of brothers choppmg off .
the heads of their sisters (because the latter had a sexual relationship of which the brother disapproved). The Tata Sky ad doesn't .
seem that funny anymore when you recall how two brothers killed Nitish Katara for daring to love their sister. This ·raksha' is .
Think of the Government's move to raise the age of consent from 16 to 18, in the context of families, vahinis and khaap panchayats. If the age of consent were to be 18, and consensual relationships of young people between 16-18 to be automatically criminaHsed and branded as rape/sexual violence. With third parties allowed to fife statutory rape complaints, every possessive family, khaap panchayat or 'moral police' brigade will use the law to get the girl's male classmate/friend/boyfriend arrested for rape and sexual assault! The more so if the boyfriend in question is from a dalit/oppressed caste background while the girl is not. .
clearly not a protection of freedom, choice and autonomy. .
What kind of 'sensitisation' does GSCASH (and other institutions outside JNU) need to do? .
In the name of 'gender sensitisation'. Gillette runs an ad asking men to be 'soldiers' to protect women. It's another matter that actual 'soldiers' often sexually assault women, and men who believe they have to 'protect' women end up policing her own freedom, like the protective brother in the ad! In fact protection is nothing but deployment of patriarchal con1rol over women. Women's freedom lies in freedom from control ofbearing the patriarchal burdens of 'modesty', 'purity' and 'honour. Sensitisation i:§l!'tp bout teaching som~ra~G.Oncepts ofgender justice. Sensitisation is actually a project of 'unlearning' what society .
teaches us about gender. Perhaps the most important lesson of sensitisation has to be the one of autonomy. .
Parents, families and friends have to team the difficult lesson that they have netther right nor duty to be women's 'guardrans'. That women have every right to have friends, wear clothes, go where they wish, without seekmg 'permission' from brothers, .
fathers and families! .
Sex educatJon m schools must_of Qourse teach the basic biological facts about sex, as well as the basic lessons of sexual .
'.
health. But far more important is the lesson ofautonomy over oneTs own body. We need structured programs where men are .
taught to respect women's sexual autonomy and women are made aware of their right over their oody and consent. .
Girls need to learn that their bodies are their own: not to be handed over by parents in marriage over to the husband. Women .
have the right to say no, even withdraw consent, in acommitted relationships" Everyone should learn to take NO from friends .
and partners, without behaving self-destructively and violently, without inflicting unwanted 'love.' threats or violence on the .
person who says NO! .
Some Concrete Steps for Campus to Resist Protectionism and Surveillance .
Campus security needs to stop monitoring, disciplining andinterrogating couples sitting out late in the night by flashing torches .
in their faces, or women visiting men's hostel rooms. .
It should be ensured that security personnel and hostel wardens do not think 1t is their job' to maintain vigil over women's 'moral' conduct. .
CCTV cameras used as a tool for surveillance, infn'ngement ofprivacy and enforcement ofpatriarchal codes need to be done .
away with. The mandatory gender orientation programme started last year must be enriched and broadened in consultation with the .
Centre for Women's Studies by Introducing lecture modules/courses in various centres to expand the reach of the gender dtscourse across disciplines and centres in JNU. Based on the resolutions of SSS Board of Studies steps have already been .
In keeping with this (and along with several crucial issues for the GSCSAH I have detailed in otherleaflets), I propose thatinitiated in this direction. .
the GSCASH in JNU develop a module for workshops on masculinity, autonomy, and sexual harassmentwith the help of .
filmmakers, theatre persons, activists and academicians. This module, using interactive tools and literature (leaflets/ .

I think you need to grow up for the sake of poetry, babes you have to unlearn poetry, grow before you are left stunted in a metaphoric world and don’t throw stones at hovels specially when you live in a glass house yourself.. only producing mass poetry does not bring you any close to surrogate motherhood...you are such a fraud .. you need a mind check more than a spell check.

In life if you want to see photographs and in photographs if you want to see life thn one should visit Steve McCurry's blog. stevemccurry.wordpress.com/
His photographs makes me smile, makes me cry, makes me ponder, makes me think, makes me wonder, makes me jealous & makes me unlearn everything. I m so fortunate to have met this Legend & stand next to him. When I met him I didn't knew the stature he carries & neither i had seen much of his work except iconic 'Afghan Girl' pic. With each passing day .. with seeing each of his photographs .. I am zapped & I wonder what makes this man tick and gets to click such wonderful moments. I dont see technique there .. what i see is his love, his passion, his hard work, his zest to get a frame which speaks volumes in many levels of emotions.
Dont know if one can learn photography seeing anyone's work .. but yes one thing which one can learn and imbibe seeing his work is Passion.
Thank's Sir Steve for making me more passionate in the passion I follow.
