'Education' Articles
The path of education is not a going out and learning things. The path of education is a drawing out of yourself and others the experiences and actions that lead to progress and growth. The role of the educator is to present information and skills to those receiving education and training. As well as to draw out insights in the person that let that skill crystallize in their functional awareness, rather than remaining as a pointless abstraction.
True education and spirituality are the same thing. God is life and love. You might say that the purpose of life is so that God can grow.
“Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death” Albert Einstein (German born American Physicist. 1879-1955)
“Tell me and I’ll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I’ll understand.” Chinese Proverbs
“A man’s errors are his portals of discovery.” James Joyce (Irish novelist, 1882-1941)
Active Agent Of Education
Today, we aren’t talking about the state of the institution that we call education. We are talking about the process and the path. Talking about the institution would devolve into a long and pointless rant, I feel. First, let’s look at what we consider the active agent of education, the educator.

As well as to draw out insights in the person that let that skill crystallize in their functional awareness, rather than remaining as a pointless abstraction. Sometimes the role of educator is… Seek More
Death Of The Mind
During the renaissance, there was a radical backlash against instituted knowledge. What was considered common sense was passionately thrown out the window. Like science? Indeed, but in the renaissance, science was called natural philosophy. It was simply the belief that humanity could learn things by looking at various parts of nature, as well as thinking about the interplay of the whole. Darwin was considered mad wasn’t he? He was considered quite strange, as was Einstein. What they both had in common was an almost total lack of concern about being seen as scientists. They were too busy doing science. They… Seek More
Failure of Education
Unfortunately today, people have to find a path of education in their hobbies rather then their employment. Yes, but some path is better than no path. Regrettably, they just reproduce what they are accustomed to, and Grandmas knitting becomes a subject of anxiety for her. A way to prove that she’s still valuable to her family, supposedly. But a way that never works and cannot actually work. If money was never invented would we be better off? We would establish some trade in resources. Money is not the root of all evil. The model of values that lead to our… Seek More
Thinking Is An Art
First know yourself, then find like minds. They need education too. But you don’t need to be educated, and you don’t need to educate others. You can take ownership of your thought just by deciding to. It is not so much about what you know, but who you know for getting work in a field you want. It’s very frustrating. It’s true. It is silly to work from prejudice. Education defeats prejudice, but it’s possible it will take a while for things to change. We may only be able to educate by example. Religion can be a big obstacle to education.… Seek More
