I am a practitioner of Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual humanism  (https://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Reli/ReliMeht.htm, http://magazines.odisha.gov.in/Orissareview/2008/Sept-Octo-2008/engpdf/32-42.pdf, https://www.mkgandhi.org/articles/gconcept.htm, https://www.bu.edu/wcp/Papers/Comp/CompBaru.htm, and https://www.yourarticlelibrary.com/essay/gandhis-humanist-approach-towards-social-problems/40286.) I am a practitioner of secular spirituality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_spirituality.) I am also a practitioner of Pragmatic Spirituality also known as Spiritual Pragmatism ("Positive Ways defines spirituality as the pragmatic way in which you bring purpose and meaning into your every day life. The spiritual life forms an essential component to happiness, life satisfaction, and even physical and mental wellbeing. Spiritual pragmatism involves interpenetration of the spiritual and the material, immanence and transcendence, capability and transcendence. Spiritual pragmatism involves a transformation of anthropocentrism and a creative mutual interpenetration of the human, nature and the divine."  I respectfully question tradition, I embrace human diversity, I possess a strong emphasis on social justice and care for the poor and the oppressed, I value environmental stewardship of the earth, the centrality of loving one another, and compassion, justice, mercy, and tolerance, often through political activism. I am one and whole with The Divine. I compassionately and unconditionally love people, animals, insects, nature, architecture, Life, The Planet Earth, The Universe, and myself. 

Here's the link that I used for today's episode: (https://keirsey.com/temperament/idealist-overview/.)

This also explains why I am a member of the secular movement, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_movement.) 

Although all Rationals share core characteristics, not all of them are the same. In Keirsey's observations, he noted that there were four kinds of Rationals. They are: the Rational Fieldmarshal (ENTJ), Rational Mastermind (INTJ), Rational Inventor (ENTP), and Rational Architect (INTP).

Fieldmarshals will usually rise to positions of responsibility and enjoy being executives. They are tireless in their devotion to their jobs and can easily block out other areas of life for the sake of their work. Superb administrators in any field - medicine, law, business, education, government, the military - Fieldmarshals organize their units into smooth-functioning systems, planning in advance, keeping both short-term and long-range objectives well in mind.

Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to Plan B or C or D if need be.

Inventors begin building gadgets and mechanisms as young children, and never really stop, though as adults they will turn their inventiveness to many kinds of organizations, social as well as mechanical. There aren't many Inventors, say about two percent of the population, but they have great impact on our everyday lives. With their innovative, entrepreneurial spirit, Inventors are always on the lookout for a better way, always eyeing new projects, new enterprises, new processes.

Architects need not be thought of as only interested in drawing blueprints for buildings or roads or bridges. They are the master designers of all kinds of theoretical systems, including school curricula, corporate strategies, and new technologies. For Architects, the world exists primarily to be analyzed, understood, explained - and re-designed. External reality in itself is unimportant, little more than raw material to be organized into structural models."

"Antonio Myers was unable to speak as a child.

His family and educational experts did not believe he would ever be able to. Finally, at the age of four, he surprised everyone when he said his first words.

But due to his autism, things were not always easy for Myers as he tried to find schools, and later work environments, that would support his needs. He was put into D.C. Public Schools in 1997, but later his family realized they would have to pay for private special education.

Myers continued forward and made remarkable accomplishments. In seventh grade, he was reading at a 12th-grade level and he was the eighth-grade class president at Ivymount School in Rockville. For high school, he attended the Chelsea School in Hyattsville where he won awards for basketball and track and was valedictorian of his class.

“Also in college, I was able to have the support from the neighborhood churches, they used to feed me and we would fellowship at members’ houses. They were also my major support at that time and I had a grand time at that school,” he said. “In three and a half years I got to really learn each and every life skill and more importantly my true self, self-knowledge and self-mastery.”

"Antonio Myers is a high school valedictorian, college graduate, international traveler, designated disability services provider by DC Department on Disability Services, a commencement speaker and he happens to be autistic. In this conversation Antonio shares his experience as someone often put into a box that doesn't fit his lived experience.

You'll enjoy his wit, vulnerability and you'll likely learn more about autism."

According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism affects an estimated 1 in 54 children in the United States today.

The Autism Society, the nation’s leading grassroots autism organization to create autism awareness, inclusion, and self-determination for all with a goal to assure that each person with Autism Spectrum Disorder has the opportunity to achieve the highest possible quality of life.

Antonio Myers calls autism his superpower while achieving greatness and proving that love and support can help create a beautiful life worth living.

Bill Myers Inspires  Recently I was the guest on the podcast TonioTimeDaily hosted by Mr. Antonio Myers. He is a brilliant young black man with Autism and he wanted to be a guest on my show. I am happy to have Antonio as my guest and eager to explore the topic of autism and how it affects the black people in America. As a child, other kids tossed epithets my way “out in public” during middle and high school, such as “dumb,” “stupid,” “lazy,” even “retarded.” Once, someone told me that I should be “shut up in a basement.” My friends and I had to defend each other with words seasoned with grace because of the cruelty. I am considered high-functioning on the Autism spectrum. I was unable to speak until the age of four when I was in kindergarten and said my first words: “Stop bullying my friend.” “Educational experts” compared me to a vegetable and believed in the worst in me. I was diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder and although I tried to attend my neighborhood schools, “it wasn’t the best fit.” Most schools in the American education system and most jobs in the American work force can’t service me well because of their lack of understanding of gifted extraordinary people such as myself. I am a high school valedictorian (4.0 in eleventh grade), college graduate (bachelors in Human Services and minor in Psychology, commencement speaker at the ages of 14 and 23, international traveler and I am a designated disability services provider by the DC Department of Disability Services. https://play.acast.com/s/toniotime-1  *Listen now on the Inspired Choices Network app!  https://linktr.ee/inspiredchoicesnetwork ~ More About Bill Myers Inspires ~  Emmy Award-winning actor Bill Myers is an accomplished actor, jazz musician, filmmaker, writer, educator, and speaker.

Whytli's podcast description: "Welcome to In the Wake with Whytli! I am a certified life coach and a mental health advocate. I am also a survivor of sexual and mental abuse. The phrase 'in the wake' means the ‘result of something occurring’ and I originally started this podcast as a result of my story and everything I have overcome. I continuously choose to rise up from the trenches and speak up about these various taboo and stigmatized topics. I choose empowerment, growth, and empathy. As I continue on my healing and self growth journey, I will use my voice to share my truth and insights along with amplifying the voices and stories of others. I interview guests whose messages have resonated with and inspired me. Tune in for weekly episodes on all things mental health, survivorship, and self help!!"

"Antonio Myers is a D.C. resident on the autism spectrum. He believes that autism is his super blessing as he's a high-school valedictorian, college graduate, world traveler, podcast host, speaker/writer, and disability advocate.

"For Antonio Myers, life with autism has always felt like sitting in a movie theater. Everyone is watching the same film,  but he’s the only one wearing 3-D glasses. He says, “I am able to see more, behind the scenes, which enables me to understand more of what’s in front of me. It makes me able to see people as human before anything else which also makes me very good at compassionate grieving or just bearing with people. My very first words at the age of four were: Stop bullying my friend!"

In this episode, Antonio shares with us his experiences facing the stigmas and stereotypes of autism and breaking beyond the limiting beliefs and boxes the world put him in.

We discuss the following talking points:

Myths or misconceptions around autismHow these myths have personally affected him His ideas for reforming education & accessibilityHis experiences of abuse & healingLanguage preferences around autismTune in to hear the rest of Antonio's story!!
