Education represents the
development of human life over animal life, and is the most important factor
which distinguishes human beings from animals .
Animals often feel helpless against
circumstances because their brain is less developed, unlike the human brain.
Animals cannot grow resources as they live only in the present moment and have
no future visions , no ability to abstract words from pictures or analyze in
logical or abstract steps. Animals cannot reason about the WHYs or think of the
HOWs . Since, animals cannot read or write or imagine/
co-create abundance, animals have genuine fears of survival .
Hence, animals are justified in racing for survival and killing for
competition for reasons such as fear , food or self-defense.
However, human beings are not
justified in becoming competitively brutal, racing for money or using
violence because their minds have the
capacity to sustain the body without using rudimentary methods of survival as
the animals use .
The development of literacy
represents the complexifying of human existence over animal existence in all
areas of life. Literacy has improved life associated with survival, production
of resources, money, counting, exchange of goods and services, creating
technology, inventions, and has also, led to
increased development of the creative brain in areas other than the
concept of surviving in the animal world . The spread of education has
facilitated spiritual development of the brain and manifested portals of
expression such as painting, dance, music, evolution of relationships ,
literature , history , geography etc.
However,
though , education has evolved technology, it has remained primitive by
intention and animal-like in its execution. The stress on competition, scarcity
consciousness and compromising in fear for survival has had negative effects on general
peacefulness in society. The development of literacy has not been not able to neutralize the need
to overpower others by increasing optimism, compassion and peacefulness more
than the need for negative thinking and helplessness.
The present debate is between the
opposing thinking patterns of a survival consciousness and a higher
evolutionary abundance consciousness which seeks to spread education such that
the negative effects of competition are transcended by a focus on abundance
& benefits of human life over animal life with the understanding that
animal-like needs of violence and competition are harmful and reduce spread of
happiness in human terms.
The evolution of education should
be such that it aids in development of peace in the minds of people by
facilitating peacefulness in individual consciousness which aids in spreading
of happiness as an energy flowing from one to several, in mass consciousness.
This requires an understanding of the
factors which led to the initial expansion of education and realizing that
those circumstances no longer hold true, with deliberate awareness .
Evolutionary History of Education
Charles Darwin’s research as
published in his book “ The Origin Of Species “ , propagated the theory of Survival of the Fittest ,
which suggests that animals survive in
the jungles by killing and defeating others less capable than the fittest.
Animals killed because they
depended on scarce resources. If you did
not kill as an animal, you were amongst those who were eaten. Competition evolved
as a tool of survival because animals
genuinely needed to develop competitive fighting skills to survive.
However,
due to the repetitive energy cycles which govern all energy movement in the universe, these dominant thought cycles continued to
repeat though external circumstances kept changing as humans evolved from
animals.
Human beings continued to believe
in the illusion that if you are not a winner, you would be a victim without any
genuine cause . Though , there was no animal-like associated helplessness arising from an
inability to grow resources, definitions
of success and power were blindly
carried over from the animal mind-set.
Success
in the animal world, came from defeating others because resources were not
enough for all; and they could not grow resources as human beings
could; but success in the human world was falsely assumed to be that which came
from defeating others wherein scarcity was artificially created for fun or
learning .
Just
as power in the animal world was equated with violence and
killing , power in the human world was defined by emotional bullying/
killing of the optimistic human spirit.
.
Therefore,
success and power in the human world, as blindly imitated from the animal
world, were defined by a survival
instinct and not by an increase in inner peace or happiness.
Thus, it came about that, as human
beings advanced from animals , their bodies evolved but the thinking patterns
remained stuck at rudimentary energy cycles where the belief was that ‘you have to competitively crush others to dominate ‘.It
was firmly believed that competition was necessary to survive as it had been
when human ancestors were animals.
Hence, though teeth were replaced by guns as the brain evolved from
being animal-like to human-like, the technological improvement did not erase
the primitive need to kill to survive.
The concept of the ‘enemy ‘and ‘a need to kill another’s spirit to
survive oneself’ continued to be accepted as gospel .
This
crux of fear based thinking has not changed though human civilization has
evolved technologically. A vicious circle of scarcity and
competition has resulted as a circuitous
chain of evolution. Circumstances of
life manifest in alignment with dominant thinking cycles. Since there was a
belief in scarcity of resources, it manifested such that human beings genuinely
feel trapped in cycles of scarcity wherein the scarcity is inappropriately advertised
by excessive focus on comfort ,greed, fear, poverty, future dangers and traditional
criteria of right & wrong. Usually, individual consciousness is ruled over
by mass consciousness and we allow others to decide how life should be.
The education system has developed an
imitative mechanism of learning such that, the cycle of feeling helpless
individually and as a mass, has continued
automatically from the competitive animal’s
mind-set . In alignment with the laws of automatic repetition of energy
cycles, instead of promoting meaningfulness and peace in life, education has
been imparted in a way which has fueled energies of compromise,
helplessness and negative competition.
Animals felt helpless without competing
because their intelligence was limited to grabbing food and shelter whereas
human beings feel helpless without competition and bitterness, because of
repeated patterns of thinking being carried over from animal conditioning.
Logic is ignored by repetitive energy/
thought cycles until it is imposed by deliberate changes in the super-structure
made by a higher, more positive consciousness .
The human soul is a co-creator unlike the animal soul which is a
passive receiver . Therefore, the responsibility of creation of happiness,
peace and sufficient resources for survival is as much human as God’s in the
human world. We cannot blame God or external factors for our problems just as the primitive man
could not blame God for not giving rain on time.
Abundance can be created in the
human world by choice, unlike the animal world which is dependent on luck and
rain. The imaginative/ abstract /
creative brain power which human beings have and animals do not have,
automatically places humans on a higher realm of feeling intricacies of
life and being in control. Human beings
can create abundance of happiness with a
disciplined focus of the mind on the positive aspects of life .
Inequalities in distribution of wealth can be overcome by practical application
of abundance consciousness in everyday thinking.
Just as rain can be created through
manipulating external factors , happiness can be accessed by manipulating
internal dominant emotional focus by choice.
But as long as we think that we are basically animals, helpless and
dependent on external circumstances for our happiness, we would continue
fighting over survival needs as animals do and leave happiness to chance.
Instead of priding over our animal instinct,
we need to acknowledge ourselves as a more evolved, higher dimensional human
race , being more intelligent than animals are and having the ability to create
happiness, health, food, goods & services by practicing spiritual awareness
and understanding how our feelings impact reality through the action of the
Universal Laws of Soul Vibration.
