Giving takes many forms. You can give your time, such as volunteers do. You can make monetary, clothing or other donations to organizations in which you believe. You can give of yourself when you provide a hug, a listening ear, or anything else someone may need. How can you practice giving at school and at home?

1. Brainstorm ideas as to how young children CAN make a difference. All too often, they think they are too young to matter. The earlier they become involved in giving, better chance they will become giving, caring members of society.

2. Visit a nursing home or assisted living facility. Perhaps your students can perform a little skit or sing holiday songs. Instead of visiting, your children can make cards, poems, or stories to send. If you want to carry this further, have them practice addressing an envelope and adding a stamp.

3. Think about children in hospital. What would make them happy? Could you collect little goodies to put in socks and have them delivered?

As any reader of my work knows by now, Ogham and an Ogham mentor played a major role in altering my life and commitment to learning about ancients. I think Ogham was original alphabet derived from chants, shamanic healing (Luis Beth Nion) and lunar calendrical math shown in work of archaeologists like Alexander Marshack. In fact I have shown that it includes binary math like quipas even before recent research confirmed it. Here is a man who seems to see same integration of spiritual and scientific knowledge and choice of name for his foundation is equally interesting. Mt. Meru is said to be from whence Hindu people were taught their religion and I think my first published book (Diverse Druids) gave good evidences to show this is Tarim Basin Kelts and their work. This excerpt is taken from World-Mysteries.com site and there is a link there to more of Mr. Tenen’s work at that excellent compendium of knowledge being gathered by a physicist/astronomer who has been most helpful to me and my work.

“The Meru Project is based on 30 years of research by Stan Tenen into origin and nature of Hebrew alphabet, and mathematical structure underlying sequence of letters of Hebrew text of Genesis.

From Introductory Text: ‘The Meru Project has discovered an extraordinary and unexpected geometric metaphor in letter-sequence of Hebrew text of Genesis that underlies and is held in common by spiritual traditions of ancient world. This metaphor models embryonic growth and self-organization. It applies to all whole systems, including those as seemingly diverse as meditational practices and mathematics fundamental to physics and cosmology... Meru Project findings demonstrate that relationship between physical theory and consciousness, expressed in explicit geometric metaphor, was understood and developed several thousand years ago.’”

Ogham includes binary math taken into other alphabets that maintain and develop archetypes and constructs of energy. In Luis Beth Nion it is a medicinal usage that is highlighted. There are many tracts and roots for Ogham and I am not only researcher who sees it is similar to I Ching which may be derived from it through Tarim Basin Red-Heads who we can now say are people Lao Tzu went to meet as he neared end of his life on Earth. Chanting and other harmonic or clicking noises not unlike whales are possibly beginning of all language and ESP would have been more developed in pre-language times as well as what Plato noted about a writing alphabet leading to a loss of disciplined wisdom. The language development schools of Phoenician Kelts all came from Ogham and it is widely acknowledged that Hebrew and other Mediterranean languages all came via Phoenicians.
