RE: Nonverbal Education in Aldous Huxley's "Island"
I enjoyed the first two pages, especially. I agree that children could use more lessons in balance and understand how their brain and selves work. I'm not sure how well your proposed ideas of philosophy and psychology will work, but I suppose it is a beginning and better than nothing. Thank you for your post.
I believe science, wisdom of elders or gurus, religion, creative thinking, journal writing, mindfulness, and nature may all provide inspiration for better knowing ourselves.
Yes, I am proposing that parents and other people who care start experimenting with these or similar techniques of their choice. We may discover other approaches that work better but we do have to start somewhere. My first two pages only summarize and complain about the current situation. I think offering solutions is both a lot more valuable and a lot harder.
I wish I had paid attention to my elders and nature more often in the past! :-)
Thanks for responding. Yes, it's easier to complain then offer solutions. It like watching football from above, and say "why did you do that!?"
Lol, nice analogy. Thanks for your comments!
