Being human – the finest education
I don’t know about you. But the regular educational system was not something I ever felt drawn to pursue. Regardless of how fun and interesting they sounded, something in me wasn’t fond of attending the regular university or business school.
We live in a world that has based its foundation on fragmented principles. Principles that are based more on a business model than a human model. It’s the materialistic and controlling factors that are behind the work more than the heart and the care for life. We know how to make it better, and we are starting to do so. However, it’s the tinniest baby-steps that are hesitating, as it subconsciously knows it’s heading for the truth. A truth it doesn’t want to face, despite not having a choice. It keeps holding on for as long as it needs to, in order to protect itself from knowing how it feels about itself.
We live in a world that wants facts. Physical evidence and not anecdotes. We only want the science, not Fluffy BS that hasn’t been proven yet. This, in turn, correlates to the sensation of self-doubt running rampant within the population. People don’t know where and who to trust, which is understandable, as “experts” have varied opinions.
The larger view
In this whirlwind of different viewpoints, we say science isn’t a political tool, but then you haven’t paid attention to politics or debates. It’s a tool to prove certain theories, but equally, it’s also used for power to dominate certain areas. It can be dominated as easily as any other force of belief that has ruled societies for centuries. God is just no longer in the picture the way he used to.
I’m sad about that. Not the history of where the belief in God led humanity, as it certainly wasn’t pretty either. Therefore, science was an important leap we took in order to accept people more for who they were, instead of power-hungry people fighting and killing in the name of a “loving” God.
Nevertheless, we need the real God. The God that we all know we are a part of. Source. Love. The unseen, and yet powerful realm that needs to be included in our world before we can truly learn and understand humanity and who we are at our core. Deeply spiritual creatures with a need for understanding and navigating “disorders” that are just symptoms of a being who doesn’t understand their full selves. We call it ADHD, ADD, OCD, Autism, etc. Mental disorders, which are skyrocketing due to technology that is practical, yet addictive, risky, and dangerous, which leads to a further disconnect between mind, body, and soul.
The same people who encourage and design this technology are the same who come from an educational system that is not whole. It’s limited to where it allows the human being to express and trust himself. It’s the half of man and not the full version, as he doesn’t trust the deeper layers of the conscious mind. He wants to study and dissect it, and it’s not to say that some people are skilled and good at their craft. It has certainly enhanced our way of living for the better, but the limitations this way of thinking leads us, in the end, is stagnant and, in the worst case, lethal.
I’m not the only one who knows that more of humanity needs to be included in the educational system. But what is humanity? What is true? What is real?
The lack of trust
The lack of trust
In the video above, I’ve included a cello lesson to illustrate more specifically what humanity is besides compassion. It displays what we need and crave within the educational system to become more of ourselves within this construct. Of course, it also depends on what we are studying, and yet, to know these tools is what the world needs more than anything.
Philosophy needs more sense of soul, psychology needs more sense of body, doctors need more sense of healing, lawyers need more sense of justice, business people need more sense of trust, and chemists need more sense of what wholeness is, but all of these principles are not taken seriously on fragmented and soulless concrete ground. It’s only built by the willingness of wanting to believe more than what we can control and see, but the herd mentality of limitation to rationalize everything prevents us from entering a safe and open space where we dare to use more of our abilities that are not mental disorders, but internal navigation devices that doesn’t get a chance to be used, so they become defective in a society that has lost itself, but has always searched.
This way of learning and living has led us to a certain point, but it can only take us so far before it all collapses. We live and educate from a place of lack and mistrust, and then you say, but what about the curiosity and relationships that are a real thing within institutions? I’m not denying that. We know we are colorful and have creative aspects that don’t get respected and used, but instead numbed down to black and white textbook matter, where you become a machine instead of a being, because of a man who once said, “I want a nation of workers, not thinkers.”
This sentence stopped humanity in their tracks from becoming full and whole. It created nations of scared populations that could follow agendas and narratives within a network of consumerism, but not a whole being that knew what they were capable of. The man himself who said this, even though he was powerful, he had an agenda he wasn’t aware of. Validation and acceptance, and to never feel powerless and abandoned again, and so he rose to the most powerful position. He felt broken, and so the world too must feel the same, within frames that seem good, but are an illusion.
What are the missing pieces of humanity within the educational system? Our individuality. Our creativity. Our experiences. Our attuning systems that need more recognition and respect.
Along with the construct of the system, we have stopped trusting, and I understand that in a world of lies and deception that values a narrative more than experiences, but the more we let our experiences become the way of knowing and showing others, the more we carve the way for greater ways of thinking and being in a world that has lost its foundation for natural existence.
