Try a alterNative Perspective

In the example of the letters of the alphabet, the shape ‘u’ (or the media it’s written on) has to change position before we see it completely differently as ‘n.’

But in the image examples there are two very different ways to see the exact same picture without it needing to change at all. Both ways are complete impressions in their own right.

And as we see in the case of the letters, the new impression can have a very different effect on us.

You may need a few features pointed out before your mind can assemble the new image, but it’s already t/here.

Your alterNative Intelligence is naturally capable of assembling multiple perspectives on any number of things.

The one we see first, or are shown first, may well not be the only thing to see, and it certainly may well not be the best, most satisfying, complete, or relevant option… no matter how many people attest to it.

Everything on this site is to not just to give you just a few new tools and points of thought, though you are welcome to take just that. The real goal is to ‘point out enough features’ for you assemble a completely different impression of the topics on offer, with different effects, just like in the examples.

This is true for each of the main topics on offer here: Gender & Relationships; Alphabets, Spelling & Language Evolution; The First Word;‘What it means to be Native,’ and ‘What’s Going On in the World?’, as well as Ancestral Connection, Perception, Native Number, Sound, Alphabets, Rites of Passage and more!

Welcome! We’re only just soft launching this site in December 2025 with months of content backed up to bring to you, so subscribe today to not miss out!

What is alterNative Intelligence?

You were not born able to focus on objects, or thinking in words, or able to walk and talk. We were all born perceiving in an undfferentiated manner until we learned from others everything from how and what to perceive, how to conduct ourselves and so much more.

We all learned how to focus, walk, talk and the rest just by watching, listening and a relentless practice. Consider the the human infant can learn any language just by listening and watching - because every one of us did.

Just wonder for a moment with me at the marvel that no one showed you what you do with vocal cords to make sounds. No one showed you how to move your muscles to get up and walk . No one showed you HOW to control your bowel and bladder… yet you do.

We have no idea HOW we do it even now,

Your Native Intelligence Knows.   It is synthetic, synesthetic, integrated, undifferentiated.  And it is still like that. 

We live in a little bubble of rational social identity which is like the jam in a doughnut, where your native intelligence is the dough that houses the jam on all sides…. yet in the social world, that dough just isn’t important. The people surrounding us don’t use it consciously, or refer to it.

So we learn from infancy to ‘live in the jam,’ and switch off to the rest, not realising how much is missed, seemingly lost, through the habitual ignoring routine.

Nor do we grasp the scale of the consequences where we suffer in so many ways from the sense of disconnection: from self, the land, spirit and each other. This can drive us mad, sad, or bad, and into acts of indecency and inhumanity: against others, the land, animals….and ourselves.

No amount of money or success or sex or drugs or approval or material assets or distraction or avoidance can alleviate that suffering if we do not deal with the cause, even though they can provide great temporary relief and distraction that can last decades, or even a whole life.
