The Future of Education
In the not too distant future, as studies in consciousness reveal the
hidden human potentials activated by biophysical processes like yoga
and meditation, there will be a natural demand for teachers to embody
a fully awakened consciousness. The illusion that knowledge is
somehow separate from the subject, where all we need to do is
memorize, categorize, and manipulate bits of information in order to
“educate” ourselves, will be overcome once and for all. There
will be a planetary recognition that to fully understand and solve
the pressing issues of mankind we will need the increased creativity,
intelligence, and intuition that are awakened through meditation.
No more shall empty certificates and
credentials be the primary factor in determining the value of the
teaching staff. Instead, we shall ask, “How long have you been
practicing meditation? Which Enlightened Being/s have you studied
under? What have you been initiated into? What states of
consciousness have you realized? Have you mastered the art of
spiritual initiation so you can directly transmit subtle
understandings into your students?” This will apply not just to
philosophy or the arts, but to all dimensions of education as the
over compartmentalization of knowledge is healed by a holistic
understanding that views the evolved functioning of the human nervous
system as a key factor in higher education.
In physics class, when a professor
speaks of quantum non-locality, keen students shall ask “excuse me
sir, but have you actually experienced what you are talking about?
If not, please stop with this insanity, kindly go teach Newtonian
physics to preschoolers!” These aware students wont just be
speaking from arrogance, for they will have experienced directly for
themselves, through deep meditation, the quantum field, its
potentials, non-local exchanges of consciousness, teleportation of
matter, and so on.
In the medical field, the destructive
self-limiting obsession with “treating illness” that serves the
interests of multinational drug companies rather then providing
holistic health care will be laid to rest. In its place shall
blossom a revolution in mind/body/spirit healing. The subtle
dynamics of the human nervous system and the energetic fields that
surround the body will be revealed in their full glory to the world.
There will simply be no denying the subtle all encompassing nature of
consciousness. The minds intimate relationship with the body and
environment and the ways of achieving perfect health and higher
states of consciousness will be mapped out and made realizable for
one and all.
The fundamental role consciousness
plays in creating our world moment to moment and shaping society as a
whole through the collective consciousness will be studied
objectively and rigorously on the largest and smallest scales. This
is not just inducing some form of “spiritualism” into the
classroom. It is a fundamental shift in the way we view education,
human potential and the future of our species. For those of us who
have already experienced the benefits of mediation, yoga,
visualization, holistic health, vegetarian diet, etc—it is our
responsibility to envision and help realize these benefits for those
that need them the most, the millions of youth around the world.
Shall we fail to act, the unconscious
elements will continue their mind numbing endeavor to “zombify”
our children. Is it not apparent that the popular meme of “zombies”
that is being mass marketed to millions of kids in the form of toys,
books and entertainment is an effort to dumb down an awakening
consciousness? Enough zombies! Let us inspire the youth with role
models of Enlightened Beings, awakened sages, compassionate healers,
self-actualized geniuses, courageous shamans, realized Yogis and
Yoginis—those who know the one thing most worth knowing, their own
Self. OM
