Now how do we get the masses to see their true value? How do they get the courage to seek the truth that has been, is and always will be right there, inside them? All the wisdom in the world is readily available to anyone who seeks it. How do we get humanity to see through all the bull shit that has surrounded us for generations?
We are very insignificant in the grand scheme of things, if we believe we are separate from one another and not part of creation.
We are in constant competition/survival mode, if we believe the resources on this planet are finite and only available to the obedient 🙄
The only thing that stood in the way of me realizing the truth, were the lies that I was holding onto. Once I accepted that every single story/voice in my head was potentially a falsehood, I was capable of seeing and feeling reality.
We have been trained over millennia to chase after materials of comfort and convenience, instead of seeking truth and love, virtue and purpose.
We are asking those stuck in permanent childhood/immaturity/prey mode to stand up for themselves instead of taking the easy road/obeying their parents/authority/government/predators. We are asking them to do the work and make the difficult choices, while having golden carrots constantly held up right in front of their faces.
I’m at a loss. I am not a teacher, mentor, elder or considered an expert on anything so my views/knowledge/opinion have no value in this empty vessel we call the modern world. Apparently the only way to have something valuable to say today is by wearing a white coat or reading from a fucking teleprompter, despite being caught lying repeatedly. How do we get the masses to understand that when the words that come out of a persons mouth don’t line up with their actions, they are NOT TRUSTWORTHY (It doesn’t matter how many letters they have “earned” after their name or who they associate with or how much money they have).
Framed slightly different the question is how to enable thinking about complex issues that is grounded. We are born intelligent. We age. As we age humans tend to be more gregarious, more inculcated into family, caste, culture, social group and less inclined to speak against or have an opinion out of line with the others. Very few break through the socialization process and education inculcates servility not how to think. So my amusing idea is a curriculum of critical thinking which never will be adopted by the schools. Which is why we dust off the Free School concept and go online. Module by module the learner is learning how to think, and the reasons why logic is the tool to help a person think. Now saying this I think of Howard Gardener and his observations. Howard Gardner first proposed the theory of multiple intelligences in his 1983 book “Frames of Mind”, where he broadens the definition of intelligence and outlines several distinct types of intellectual competencies. I think a curriculum designed for each learning intelligence is best. The student takes initially an exam to determine which module fits them best.
Gardner developed a series of eight inclusion criteria while evaluating each “candidate” intelligence that was based on a variety of scientific disciplines.
He writes that we may all have these intelligences, but our profile of these intelligences may differ individually based on genetics or experience.
Gardner defines intelligence as a “biopsychological potential to process information that can be activated in a cultural setting to solve problems or create products that are of value in a culture” (Gardner, 2000, p.28).
I’m afraid as a result of history and the rise of technology and the concentration of Capital we are dehumanizing ourselves as fast as possible. The residual impact of Christian teachings decays in the churches and society. Man is not interested in his soul but wants to be machine. WEF arises from these roots. Two terrible global wars, a Cold War and nationalism. Nationalism has become the organizing principle and the State is now the only Diety. The logical next step after the collapse of capitalism has become the tyrannical NWO. What is to be done? Going forward I think creating community is the way. A change of heart and direction requires will. Political leaders have no will.
Great piece!
