Continuing from Day 520 | "SCHOOLING THE WORLD" - To what end? and looking further into the
purpose of education in our world system, what can be seen is that we all are
educated and trained to fit into a system, to maintain systematic
relationships, to exist as systems. That is who we are and what we do to our
children.
Granted, we are starting to
see some light at the end of the tunnel, lol, no, I am not referring to 'light'
in a new age sense, that's a 'light' that blinds many and keeps them from
dealing with reality and making real choices, let alone the profit made within
the whole 'light' business.
The light at the end of the
tunnel I'm referring to is the reflection of our own life force that we begin
to become aware of within ourselves, within each-other, within the life that is
here. The light at the end of the tunnel is all those potentials we witness
through for instance social media and in our world in general - people standing
up, speaking out, coming to common sense and sharing solutions - seeing the
vision that we all have deep inside: that a better world is possible, that a
life in dignity is possible, that there's so much more HERE.
The tunnel being the ways
we've distanced and suppressed ourselves from reality, from our own self, from
who we are within ourselves and with other living beings and in our world in
general. The tunnel is not real, yet it's made real. We make it real every time
and again. If we understand this, we will grasp that in the same way we can,
through self-honesty and practical common sense, truly 'educate' ourselves into
a 'new reality', one that we build and manifest ourselves, together, one where
life is the value, where we 'get real' and take responsibility for what is here
as our world. (It's really most important that we learn to work together!)
The tunnel also represents our
entire 'education' processes, what this world makes of us all, our conditioned
patterns and accepted self-limitations, the way we treat others and the way we
suppress ourselves in fear; the way we deny and the way we ignore; the way we
justify - everything that we use as a blind.
Our education system carries
big responsibility, and that includes parenting, schooling, nowadays of course
the social media. I mean, from an ethics perspective - shouldn't education give
us at least the ability to understand the world, to understand ourselves, to
function intelligently and to be good at working with others, co-operating,
finding solutions?
So - in seeing how our
existence of survival in the system not only destroys our potentials but also
our planet, our life force, seeing that our education isn't sufficient to
produce caring and incorruptible human beings, we must seriously question and
investigate all belief systems, all value systems, all creation, and start
re-educating ourselves and each-other in common sense, in awareness as life.
ALL of what is here, all of
what we see and realize can be used in a process of conscious change, of
understanding, of 're-education' of what it means to live, to let live, to
care, to flourish, to create, to have dignity. To live human rights, to live
freedom, to live peace, to live progress and evolution, and not have those
words be empty, nt have our minds belittle us with those conditioned reactions
of inferiority, of submission, of fatalism. But see, that acceptance does exist.
And that one acceptance is what makes it so real when a thought comes up like
"I'm only human" or "I'm just one insignificant chap" or
"I can't make a difference". Yes obviously, lol, not even a king
could rule an empire without many on his side. Lol bad example, don't get me
wrong now, I'm not advocating kings, lol, what I am advocating here in fact is:
no more sides.
Life is here, life is you and
me, we are all here together on this ONE, planet interconnected, interconnected
in ALL that we do. Now how can we support ourselves, each other, and everyone,
in getting to real value, real quality, equality of life - which means each one
gets to live their full potential. I mean, wow. Who wouldn't want this? The
awareness is already here, we really now gotta ground it into the physical
reality, as ourselves, into the moment-to-moment relations we participate in,
into each choice and decision we make. On all levels - individual, parenting,
schooling, society, politics - this real vision, this real 'light' can shine
into. Through individuals like you and me. Do you recognize your full potential
every day? I commit myself to recognize my full potential every day, and to
remember that I can live my full potential in every moment, with every breath,
regardless where or with whom.
The purpose of our education
system has been to create system servants to serve the system, 'individually'
conditioned as self-interest. Our education systems perpetuates fear,
competition, and greed, and it instills the belief that win-win scenarios are
hardly possible.
Our education has been based
on the polarity-system of 'reward and punishment' (which, zoomed out into the
existent societal structure translates into 'the rich and the poor', or: the
elites and the disenfranchised) - our education is hardly based on actual
understanding of our reality, in all its aspects, particularly the practical,
the 'how things work'. A complete 'alternate reality' -an illusion- is what we
each buy into at birth. Now - how do we solve this problem?
The times are already showing
that people are waking up, people are standing up, people embrace a 'calling'
bigger than themselves. And no it's not god or anything metaphysical. It is
life, it is who we really are, self as life potential. We all realize we'd be
truer to ourselves if we respond to this 'calling', by standing up within
ourselves and breaking through the polarities, by going beyond fear and
survival to express the message that it is time for change, it is time to BE
the change for real, to manifest change, to show that this world CAN be a
different place, a better place for all.
The purpose of education
should be to support and inspire that 'spark of life' within each one, in a way
that each one is able to explore and express their full potential. This goes
out to all parents, to all children of parents, to all social media activists,
to all teachers, to all politicians in city councils, to all workers and to all
elites. Because each one would want for their children the best.
This is something we can all
agree on - you want what is best for your child - yet would you not also agree:
you can't really have what's truly best for your own child and who they really
are as life, you can't have the best world for your child to be born into -
unless you give that to all and all have an equal opportunity to live their
potential and explore life as who they are.
I mean, in SUCH a world, we
can then truly start discovering amazing things and DOING amazing things,
because the principle 'profit before life' would have been transcended and
transmuted into 'life for life' - life for all - life is here.
Life is here, we are here - so
let's understand it, let's understand ourselves, let's understand each other
and this creation that is our world, and let's see to it that we make the BEST
out of it, for ALL. That would be an awesome outcome of a real education
process. But we have to take responsibility for it, we have to do it in
awareness, we have to do it together, yet ultimately individually, not alone
but in integrity of self as allone and equal - in a process of creation, a
process of realization, a process of birthing ourselves as life from the
physical - for real.
