Future Teaching: Face Your Self®

Wisdom comes with the birth of a child. Wisdom comes with the birth of a child.
Religion and politics creates counterfeit intelligence with
Education to persuade, condition and control.
Standardized testing teaches no wise wisdom.
You are that which you teach. You are that which is learned.
True teachers teach from their heart. True students learn by their soul.
Be the teacher — be the student.
Face Your Self and the world will be a better place.

Imagine there comes a time when you do not have to go to school and you do not need to study. All you do is insert a chip into your brain (maybe behind your ear), which has all the information you need or want to know. Read a book — insert the chip. Need to know a multiplication table? Insert the multiplication chip. Knowledge, information — we are abundant with it. No need for books — no need for computers. As long as you hold the chip — you hold the information. My chip can even talk to your chip so I don’t even have to think (except about the chip). Everything gets electronically programmed into your brain much like information got programmed into the brain of a child from parents and teachers generations ago — except this programming is developed by big companies and religious and political groups. This "education" is faster and more efficient — with less editorial and personal bias. You are a "smart" student (Is that like a smart car?) with a college education in a kindergarten body. You can spout off dates and names, you can recite poems and technology. Einstein's theories — no problem — you can list them by heart (chip that is). No need for homework, long term papers or standardized testing — why bother it’s on the chip — you know it all. The list of information could circle the universe. You know all the information that there ever was to know — you even know what Lucy Brown did last week because you read it on FaceBook. You are smart but are you wise with the information that you know? You can spell any word and recite any lograthim — but do you understand the interconnectedness and oneness of us all?

Can you decipher between what is right and wrong? Can you weave wholeness out of all the "informatic" parts? How can you be taught how to use this "information" with wisdom, love and compassion? Which leads us to the question: What is wisdom and how do you measure good judgment and insight? How do you teach compassion? How do you teach, "play" and encourage the support of the development of intuition and instinct? It has been said that one needs to experience something to know its true lesson to then integrate that lesson into your life. The American Indians tell a story that you can tell the child time and again not to touch the campfire — but until they touch the campfire and get burned, they will not truly learn that the fire is hot. Will children really be wired differently in the future than those kids of the 50's, 40's, and 30's or even of the children of the Middle Ages? Is the child of the future doomed to a preprogrammed set of chips that may include political, sociological and religions dogma that may carry them through-out life into adulthood — not able to see the truth of what really is and what really is not?

We all must be able to dream, imagine and play. To teach the future of man we must fully realize that we are an integration of all that we see: the earth, sky, waters, plant life, birds and animals small and large and of each other. We must fully realize that we are also all that is of the greater unseen world — the place (if you will) where dreams formulate and come true. We all (no matter our age) must have time to muse — to imagine — to visualize. The wealth of a nation is built in those "what ifs??" and "ah ha!!" moments which enter the planet at different points at the same extraterrestrial time. Call it divine intervention — a guidance that lights paths to new ways of thinking — ways of future science, literature, athletics, health, arts, spiritual breath and borderless dreams. We are one mind expressing and flowering in many dimensions. Learning is not linear. One plus one does not always equal two — when two come together to learn and share thoughts in this way, it can equal thousands of new ideas that germinate and affect millions and propel us into a future which has it's base right now this present moment.

How can you create in your home and on your property a school of the future — a school where you and your family Face Your Self — a place where you and your children can muse, dream and imagine — a place where all live with universal wisdom? You can begin by being in tune with nature and the natural rhythms of life. I recommend that you do nothing but observe yourself in your home. Watch your thinking and your feelings — watch your words and what you find yourself talking about most of the time. Observe what you tend to read and what you watch on television and who you talk with on the telephone or online. Do you notice certain patterns of thinking and feelings that are not giving you joy? Take time to think about how you relate to the natural world. The way you live your life is teaching those around you, as you (the student) are absorbing energies from those around you too. We are all a reflection of each other and affect even the smallest vibration in each other's hearts and minds.
