The Right to Education
Expanding human consciousness through the light of knowledge
Meaning:​
Out of our current conditions, how will order be restored in the world? Will it come about through wishful thinking and prayers for peace? Or is it up to humanity to roll up its sleeves and make new and better choices to correct those of the past?
​
To do that, we need a fair and non-judgmental assessment of the past to understand what we can do better in the future. Perceptions of right and wrong are always changing, and a true analysis of our experience offers valuable learning to be applied to new choices.
​
This tenet asserts that every human has a fundamental right to know what is true and real so that they can think for themselves, make an honest assessment, and exercise their freedom of choice with informed discrimination.
Quality:
Education in the new era is envisioned to be less a standardized model, and more a creative process tailored to meet the individual at their level of need and development. All types of students - those who work with their hands, those who focus on the arts, or those of more mental inclination are recognized for their contribution to society and their right to know.
​
Rather than a recitation of rote facts, education will focus on self-directed experimentation, experience, and discovery. The learning process will become more fluidic, cyclical, and continuous.
​
Education should (and eventually will) present the hypothesis of the soul in humankind as the interior factor which produces the good, the true, and the beautiful.
​
Benefit:
Adapting to this new approach in education will take time and a committed investment of will and resources. It will ask every educator to adjust their approach and every person to take ownership of their development. It will ask society to invest in making EDUCATION the highly valued priority it deserves to be.
​
The true work of education is to train the lower mind (brain) in right discrimination and sensitivity to the vision so that a person can build true to the purpose of their Soul, and produce upon the Earth that which will be their contribution to the Whole.
