Willful ignorance  is the state and practice of ignoring any sensory input that appears to contradict one’s inner model of reality.  It differs from the standard definition of “ignorance“ — which just means that one is  unaware  of something — in that willfully ignorant people are fully aware of facts, resources and sources, but refuse to acknowledge them. Indeed, calling someone "ignorant" shouldn’t really be a pejorative, but intentional and  willful  ignorance is an entirely different matter. “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”   ―  Plato In contrast to ordinary of higher ignorance, willful ignorance occurs when a person knows the truth but chooses to ignore it, or the person refuses to abandon false beliefs and pursue the development of further knowledge. According to the Urban Dictionary. willful ignorance is: The practice or act of intentional ...

The day I left office, my phone literally ceased to ring.- By Dr Bitange Ndemo Over the past one year, I have been informally doing a unique kind of research, which was prompted by my experience after leaving public service. I have talked to more than 150 people, including those who retired from high-profile jobs, lost an election after serving the people, retired from athletics, and even those who have either been fired or otherwise dropped from top jobs. Their responses show a convergence on the experience that their relationships with people deteriorate when their fortunes appear to nose-dive. The Kenyan culture is such that people attach value to friendship, but their friends value them for their money or influence. The day I left office, my phone literally ceased to ring. My “friends” had moved on. I found myself checking my phone to establish if I had inadvertently put it off. The phone was fine. Prior to my departure from office, receiving 30 calls an hour was no...

The audacity of hope. In the Obama biography, when Barack Obama was in kenya in 1988,  no one including his relatives gave any welcome,  yes because he was not popular infact he was yet to join the university...his luggage was misplaced and flown to  South Africa, after doing a follow up at JKIA to have his luggage  back to Kenya, the staff at JKIA responded with rudeness,at  one point he was told by one of the staff if he can't wait he should take another  flight to S.A...in Kogello,  Obama took a sip of Chang'aa with his  step brother Roy, he visited his aunt  in kariokor market and another  one in mathare in all these visits, he received casual  welcoming.

You Must Leave Egypt for you to get to The promised Land. When Favour is Upon you  Joseph , was the son of Jacob and Rachel. A boy of exceptional ability and charisma, He seems to have been Jacob's favorite son too. From an early age he showed promise. He was clever, sensible, trustworthy. But he was also spoiled, cosseted, and something of a tell-tale: the Bible says that Joseph 'maligned' his brothers, and the original Hebrew word means 'hostile whispering' . He was also a braggart. So his brothers became furiously jealous of the favor he was shown.  They sold him to slavery  in Egypt .B ut God's favour helped him rise through the Egyptian society to become rich and powerful, a respected member of Pharaoh's court. Lesson : When God's favor is upon you ,no one can put you down. Changing times Life in Egypt - When favour ends The Israelites stayed in Egypt for generations, but with time  they increased in number, the Pharaoh...

HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT SOUL TIES? We used to be told in church "do not do this or that" but nobody told us why. Young people are told not to fornicate but not many have a deeper revelation of the reason why God forbids it. Unless you fully understand anything, you will not live it. Some months ago, God started to reveal to me SOUL TIES. I had never heard this anywhere including in the church.  Eve rybody has Soul ties whether good or bad. Soul tie connects your soul to another soul and hence becomes a highway and this facilitates transfer of evil or good spirits in the Spiritual realm. Soul ties between married couples draw them like magnets, while soul ties between fornicators can draw a beaten and abused woman to the man who in the natural realm she would hate and run from, but instead she runs to him even though he doesn't love her and treats her like dirt. Soul ties are designed by God to unite the whole body of Christ together that cannot be broken because of His lo...
