Creating Lasting Change
March 23, 2009
The current education system was developed over thousands of years. Throughout all those years it was adjusted to suit our varied systems, philosophies, historic and politic development, and so on.
Over time we managed to gradually set up some sort of system. That is how we arrived at the state we are in now with an entire system for training teachers, creating content, and preparing kids in nurseries for when they go into school.
Obviously a process of change cannot take place from one day to the next but must rather be over a number of years. As a society we must agree to work on bringing about this change in a diligent manner. Mankind has never succeeded at solving anything overnight.
The beginning of the change requires us recognizing the evil within us, meaning our lack of understanding for the younger generation, which will allow us to solve the problem from the root and prepare for change.
The change could be brought about by dedicating hours of national television coverage to the subject with all the concerned parties seated at a conference table to discuss the solution. This must become the most important issue on the public agenda and this will allow us to educate the children, parents, teachers and education authorities together.
All other systems provide filling for the growing ego but in this generation we will see that along with the ego increasing its demands will not be to fill its ego but rather to achieve something beyond it, to fill himself with something beyond our life. That is why we will need to give this generation filling that is not in this world, that is what the younger generation yearns for– spiritual filling. That is the only way it will feel full and satisfied.
Out of lack of choice a child will go to a psychologist or psychiatrist that will give him medication but when that does not help he will turn to drugs to shut his mind down and forget. But the precise thing that he wants, right before he drowns himself in his sorrow and turns to a psychiatrist and drugs – is spiritual filling. This is precisely what is happening in this generation. That is the generation’s demand. That is why they are restless, hyperactive from a very young age and sometimes older.
Only the wisdom of Kabbalah can provide a solution. It is possible that the student has no idea what is happening but inside he is demanding a higher filling than anything he can get in this world.
