人類已經邁入與神對話所謂「新靈性」(和傳統的舊靈性觀念有很大的差別)的演化階段,教育不再只是教孩子學習如何反應、如何複製,而是如何「創造」。教導所關注的焦點是「創造」,讓我們稱它為「教導創造」的教育(Creation Education).....
如果你關心教育對我們的社會和孩子的影響與發展,請絕對不要忽視此篇所談的重點:
【不是教導孩子如何複製,而是如何「創造」】
未來的教育不是教孩子去複製,而是去「創造」。
複製是一回事,創造是另外一回事。
在新靈性的日子裡,教育所關注的焦點是「創造」(In the days of the New Spirituality the focus of education will be on creation)。
這將稱為「教導創造、教導開創能力」的教育 (Creation Education,或稱「教導創造」的教育),這就是在昨日的學校與今後的學校之間,最大的一項區別。
尼爾:今後的學校將教導的內涵是什麼?會教些什麼呢?
它將是關於引導年輕人看見「他們真正是誰」。它將是關於開啟每個人內在的創造力;它將是關於允許他們根據自身的經歷去看見自己、相信自己,並做自己的權威;它將是關於讓他們回到自己內在的智慧,並鼓勵他們將內在真理發揮出來;它將是關於,教他們如何明確地實踐這些教導。
那將不同於「老派學校」,因為今後的學校將是關於喚醒孩子的心智,而非麻木心智;解放孩子的心智,而非桎梏心智;打開孩子的心智,而非封閉心智。
今後的學校將是關於,擴展孩子的心胸,而非縮小心胸;釋放孩子的心胸,而非禁錮心胸。
最重要的,今後的學校將教育孩子如何先將他們的「心與靈」連結起來,以及將「心與身」連結起來,最後再教他們體驗自己的「身心靈」的合而為一 (connecting their minds to their souls, connecting their bodies to their minds, and experiencing all three as one)。
而最終,體驗「一切皆為一體」。
「教導創造」的教育 是關於,體驗一切皆為一體,並體驗你自己是個「創造者」。
這些都是現今許多學校裡沒有教導的東西。(歡迎參閱書上或原文更多關於此議題的資訊!)
摘自《走出靈性文盲》第5章
The emphasis in future schools will not be on getting children to duplicate, but to create.
Duplication is one thing, creation is another.
In the days of the New Spirituality the focus of education will be on creation.
Creation Education, this will be called, and it will be the biggest single difference between yesterday's schools and tomorrow's.
Neale: What will this be like? What will it be about?
It will be about showing young people Who They Really Are. It will be about opening them to the Creator Within. It will be about allowing them to see and to believe in Themselves as the Source of their experience, and the Authority over their lives. It will be about returning them to their own inner wisdom, and encouraging them to fashion their own innermost truth. It will be about showing them, specifically, how to do this.
It will be different from the "old school" because it will be about awakening children's minds, not deadening them, freeing children's minds, not shackling them, opening children's minds, not closing them.
It will be about expanding their minds, not contracting them, releasing their minds, not imprisoning them.
It will be, most important, about connecting their minds to their souls, connecting their bodies to their minds, and experiencing all three as one.
And, ultimately, about experiencing everything as one.
Creation Education will be about experiencing everything as One, and your Self as the Creator.
This is not something that is currently taught in many schools.
