Some people are under the impression that if a child is taught math etc, and encouraged positively, that he or she will gain life supporting self confidence from this experience.
The world is full of people who are suffering depression, low self esteem, and anxiety, and yet they are good at a sport or good at a subject like math, or good at a trade etc. This is positive proof of failure in large numbers, but these facts are ignored because they don’t fit the success stories that they want the education system to have.
What the authorities do, and the political system do is ignore what they don’t want to accept, they live in denial.
Academic teaching is very non-spiritual teaching. It is based on “the mind” and the “material world”.
Confidence of “the soul” cannot come from something so distant as “the mind”. They are on completely different levels of existence and understanding, yet they exist in the same person with other items to make up the whole human being.
°
A huge failing of modern society is that children are not getting all the teaching that they need. Teachers are obviously not to blame. They go to teaching schools that convince them to be materialistic in their approach and to concentrate on the “self” – this Is Not “Self Confidence”.
°
Confidence and courage come from the soul, and is gained from personal interactions with the world, people, nature, animals and “cannot come through pictures, photos, videos, documentaries and books”. They must be experienced in the real world.
°
Each child in a school class is a complex individual with capabilities to make huge changes to the world. The mind an amazing computer, memory unlimited, body an amazing complex machine. The soul is the most neglected part of a child in a materialistic world’s educational teaching.
Academic teaching feeds the mind, is stored in memory to be recalled for exams etc.
All those hours of experience that builds confidence and courage that children got about 150 years ago “out of the class”, they don’t get in the modern school system. Instead the children are “forced” to sit for hours each day denying them the life-experiences that the mind, soul and body know that “a child needs” to become a strong capable adult. This is why children fidget. They “need” to be out of the class in nature.
Because the masses of children are leaving the school systems each year as young adults and they lack years of spiritual growth teaching they lack the ability to cope in life in a responsible, courageous, capable manner.
This is why they take ridiculous risks like texting and driving, drunk driving, party themselves stupid each weekend, drug abuse, get into deep debt etc, they just don’t have the capability to think in a clear responsible manner.
We are breeding people who are capable of fixing a car motor, but are not capable of seeing how dangerous texting and driving is. So the fully qualified mechanic leaves work, and driving home writes and reads texts while driving, he just can’t see in his mind the connection between taking his eyes off the road and something appearing before him and hitting it, or going off the road. Yet he can pull apart a very complex engine, and put it back together.
Mentally (the mind) he is very intelligent, but his soul is sorely neglected leaving his basic spiritual growth and training very limited to school boy level. So he uses logic like a child in serious issues.
°
A child cannot learn life experiences and gain confidence and courage in a classroom. Reading about life does not make a courageous wise person.
All the knowledge in the world will not make a person’s life a wonderful experience. Applying the knowledge of childhood gained from living life, with wisdom (gained from life experiences as a child), and human life becomes much more enjoyable. The person makes wise choices, controls lust, denies greed and selfishness, and sees the logic of love, compassion, empathy and charity.
This is the kind of person that is needed running a country, in charge of companies etc, because this person will wantsto treat animals, people and nature in such a way to be fair and to preserve it all for future generations.
