Why is our present educational system failing us?
Many of us seem to think that just by teaching human beings to read or write, we shall our human problems?
While it is obviously necessary to know how to read or write, it will not give any one the capacity to understand life.
The ability to understand ourselves is both the beginning and end of all education, which is not merely acquiring knowledge, gathering and correlating of facts, it is to see the significence of life as a whole.
This understanding comes only through 'self-knowledge', which is an awareness of one's total process. Thus, education, in the true sense, is an understanding of oneself, for it is within each one of us that the whole exisyence is gathered.
What we know call education is a matter of accumulating information and knowledge from books, which anyone can do who can read. Such knowledge offers a subtle form of escape from ourselves. Like all other escapes, it inevitably creates misery.
Conflicts and confusion results from wrong relationships with people, things, nature and the whole universe of which we as humans are an integral part.
And, until we understand that relation, and more importantly alter it, merely learning, gathering facts and acquiring various skills, can only lead us to engulf chaos and destruction.
The highest function of education of education is to bring about an integrated individual, who is capable of dealing with life as a whole person.
Education, as it is at present, in no way encourages the understanding of the inherited tendencies and environmental influences, which condition the mind and heart to accept Nature's Laws to Successful Living.
THE SEVEN LAWS OF NATURE Philosphy helps us to break through the negative conditioning and bring about an integrated human being.
Any form of education that concerms itself with a part, and NOT with whole of a man or woman, inevitably leads to increasing conflict and human suffering. THIS IS THE WRONG KIND OF EDUCATION.
RIGHT KIND OF EDUCATION:
The right kind of education means the awakening of intelligence, the fostering of an integrated life, and such education can create a new culture and peaceful world.
But, in order to bring about this kind of education, we must take a fresh new look at the spiritual side of ourselves.
The Seven Laws of Nature philosophy holds the truth about human life, and the complete understanding of ourselves, which is an awareness of one's total spiritual process.
WAYS WE CAN REVOLUTIONIZE AMERICAN EDUCATION
I earnestly believe from the bottom of my heart that The Seven Laws of Nature philosophy should be taught in all schools, coplleges, and universities.
I also believe that they should be a part of any curriculum of the Social Science, Human Resources or the Philosophy departments at all major colleges and universities in the United States of America and throughout the free world.
Not because they help you to cope with all problems of life, but more importantly, the whole purpose of education is, or at least so it should be, to start the mind of an individual to grow from within.
Truly, if all the world understoof t The Seven Laws of Nature philosophy and then 'lived-by-them', indeed all the problems of the world would be solved; and peace, love, joy, harmony, and prosperity would be the experience of all human kind.
I perdict that it The Seven Laws of Nature philosophy were properly taught in all schools, colleges and universities, they would so revolutionize the entire educational system in the world that time spent in schools, colleges, and universities or in any other educational institution would be reduced to less than half.
I guarantee it!
Conventional education in the United States of America or throughout the free world, as it is at present, makes independent thinking extremely difficult.
To bring right kind of education into our homes, schools, colleges, universities or any other educational institutions, we must obviously understand the true meaning of life as a whole.
And, for that, we have to able to think directly and to truly seel answers from within.
So - what's the piont?
The point I'm trying to conver to the Ode community is 'self-knowledge' and NOT just the 'book-knowledge' is the true essence of all education.
Is it any wonder why our present educational syatem is failing us? I perdict that during this third millennium, human cultural will change dramatically as a result of Ode community worldwide,
I believe that we are now entering the new age of the evolution of intelligence and by the collective efforts of all the Intelligent Optimists, we will create a 'critical mass' necessary to shift into our conscious evolution.
Learning The Seven Laws of Nature and then, living by them, will ultimately prepare us to attract and enjoy life right here right now instead of waiting for things to happen tomorrow.
