The Essence of Education – Carrying Out Nature’s Law
April 18, 2009
Nowadays education systems are testing with all kinds of experiments in attempt to interest children, to provide them with knowledge in a way that will appeal to them. These systems are trying to become more modernized and are going out of their way to interest children in acquiring this knowledge. But these attempts are not having the desired effect because education is not about how much we fill the child’s head with all sorts of data.
Education is about connecting us to a bigger system, through a process called life. So what would really interest children who are aware of this bigger system would be exploring concepts such as; where did this system come from? Why does it come to us in this way? Where is a person’s choice in life? What is the upper force, nature, demanding from us? Why do we exist in a state like this? What point is there to life?
We learn that nothing inanimate or vegetative was created for nothing and that everything has a reason and result. So how is it possible that the greatest natural phenomenon of all the world’s wonders – a person – how can we say that he was created for nothing? Of course we cannot but we simply do not see this yet.
If we show this bigger system to a child he will not want to go anywhere else. He will see that nature is obligating us and how the moment he goes off track and does not agree with nature, he will immediately receive a blow. Just like any other place, if a person carries out some of nature’s laws, he enjoys them and learns how to make better use of them for his own good.
If a person does not carry out the law of nature, he gets into a conflict with nature and receives a bad response in the form of blows. Just like any other law, if for example we put a hand into a fire or fall from a high height, if we act incorrectly against the law and use it incorrectly, we will suffer.
If we show a child the clear laws of nature, norms of behavior between man and his environment and how he can ensure his good existence, what could be better for our little ones that are just starting out in life? An education like this puts a little one on the right track from early on. And when he sees this wisdom in others, he wants to stay connected to such an educator, because he sees the educator belongs to a generation that he can rely on and continue forward with, that he can really teach him something. Any other type of teacher is not considered an educator in his eyes.
The goal of education is to provide a person with the clear understanding and perception of which stream of life he exists in, within which laws. He comes to the world, is born, and in 15 years he will be an adult, but at this stage he still has his whole life before him and needs to be shown how life is built like a pipe with an ending. If we show an ending of death, then right from the start we have eliminated his entire development, and from that point he does not care, he just wants to get by in life, take advantage of everyone and success as it is said, “Eat and drink because tomorrow we will die”.
But if we show him the inner laws of nature that he is already in, he will have no choice, nowhere to run from them. And if he will know how to use them, then his life will become eternal, and he will go through life with a feeling of eternity and elation. He will open a new world for himself, not only here in this world in this physical body he occupies, but will rather start to feel a new perspective of reality.
The younger generation is yearning to feel this. The series of Matrix movies are a wonderful example of this. Why do they have such a yearning for these types of movies? Because they want to know, according to their nature they want to know. Fifty years ago we did not have movies to go to but nowadays children want to know about the true dimension of their lives. They feel that their lives do not end and even do not begin in a person’s boy, but rather something beyond that.
If we only give children life in this world and they aspire to more, they will need to be tranquilized and silenced with the help of drugs and alcohol, and outbursts that allow them to forcibly forget what attracts them more. Children today are much more developed than what we have to offer them.
