Teaching
& Learning for Life
Formal
school is about basic communication, math, science, and work skills.
Think of formal school including college as providing fundamental
handbooks for functioning in our society.
Are we to assume that our personal interaction with others while
growing up along with guidance from our parents and perhaps churches will
have us totally prepared to function well in our adult lives?
Whatever the assumptions are, we as a society have some major gaps
in our education for life and the possibilities available in life.
Don’t
be too quick to blame our parents for not teaching us what they did not
know or did not know how to teach. As
individuals, it is our opportunity to learn advanced mind growth and life
skills and it is our responsibility to teach what we have learned to our
children and others.
Learning
Options
Too
much of formal education is about memorizing facts to be repeated on
tests. Literature (which
include movies, etc.) is supposed to teach (or brainwash) us about
life’s lessons. Do we
really want to base our lives on today’s sitcoms and movies?
We prefer our answer, which is to develop mind power with better
observing, analyzing, and action skills for living and exploring the
extended dimensions of behavior and life—skills that become automatic in
nature so that we end up with basically effortless advantage and improved
life quality.
When
we decide to continue past our formal education, the questions become what
and how. First we need to
gain understanding of our how and whys.
Then we want to understand the how and whys of others, and we
follow that with improving our understanding of how we all interact. Finally, we move on to learn more about the larger dimensions
of our existence and search for its secrets.
To
be successful in our quest for mind power and better life, we need to use
observed and learned facts to build operating principles of human and
other behavior. An extensive
data base of someone’s words and deeds can do little for us unless we
can use that data to profile the character and predictable actions of that
person—generally we can do that from a fairly small sample of a
person’s behavior. That
knowledge is power—power for self-protection and power to influence.
You get that power by focusing your direction for learning and
analyzing. You exchange blind
acceptance with the questions of what and how.
For teaching, you share the process with others.
