I
just read the blog Self-knowledge
is the only basis of true knowledge - Day 415 and I would like to add to
that perspective.
I
have also watched the documentary Waiting
for Superman as well as the follow up The Inconvenient Truth Behind
Waiting for Superman - and noticed another interesting point as to how to
investigate the information being shared instead of eating it up blindly.
What
I noticed within the first documentary is that they were essentially blaming
the teachers and the tenure system as the cause for all problems in the
education system, and thus, they bring a solution in form of charter schools
which provide the best teachers for the best student experience. What I found peculiar
is the double standard it represents. Have a look, they were sharing their
approach with students, and how, with the right tools and support each student
can be the best, which I agree with, and that the failure of students within
the public system does not indicate the lack of the student but rather their
failure is indicating and pointing towards a bigger problem in the schooling system
- but here comes the double standard – if this is true for students, wouldn’t it
be just as true for teachers?
Is
it not true that if we realize that by giving each child the support they need
to become the best that they can be each child can excel, and thus, if students
are failing we must realize there is a problem in the education system instead
of placing the responsibility solely on the students, wouldn’t the same common sense be applied with
teachers, where if we see teachers that are disengaged and don’t do their best,
teachers that have given up on education and just sit around waiting for the
day to go by, not giving their students all that they need, wouldn’t that indicate
that those teachers have been failed by the system?
The
documentary blamed the teachers for being the problem in education, not
realizing the bigger picture that bad teachers are showing us, as a symptom, a
greater problem of the entire education system in its totality.
They
bring up the problem of tenure, and expressing it to be the reason why teachers
don’t care – but who of us wants to be doing something we don’t care about, wouldn’t
all of us prefer to apply ourselves in our chosen profession and do our best,
knowing that we are supported and encouraged to be the best that we can be?
The
point of tenure is in a way a fantastic system of protection, in a world where
people lose their jobs left and right, what would the teachers focus on if they
were threatened daily that if they do not perform they would lose their job,
what would their starting point of teaching be? not the children, but rather their
own self interest, survival and fear – how would that solution create a better
education system? This point obviously brings up once again the greater picture
of the economic system, where people are not looked after within the system but
rather are treated merely as a human resource, that can be disregarded and
replaced when the new and improved model comes in, this is true not only in
education, but in all fields, and thus, within this economic system where we
use and treat people as commodities, we are setting the ground for indifference
and disregard towards others, while enhancing self interest and personal gain
at all costs, in spite of the consequences we bring to those around us.
So,
here, im not saying that there are no problems with the tenure system, we can
plainly see that it has been used to manipulate the system for interests and
power rather than being a force that ensures that the education system as a
whole will always be in the benefit of all children. But here again we must not
forget to look at the greater system in which we all live in, and have accepted
as such.
They
show in the documentary the approach schools take to handle these bad tenure
teachers where they just rotate them from one school to another instead of
finding solutions to support them to become the best they can be, it is almost
like the system doesn’t want to support them in bettering themselves, the system
has given up on them, just as they have given up on children, just as children
that have given up on learning and on themselves.
It’s
all the same, as above so below – and the solution must be found for all levels
of the problem, isolating the problem within the realm of the students will inevitably
target the teachers as the problem, but that would be looking at it through tunnel
vision rather than actually investigating the problem and situation in all its dimensions
and finding an actual solution that will stand the test of time and that will
support all individuals involved.
Bottom
line, when inequality and double standards are being presented, there is always more to the
story that is not being shared, and in most cases this is done within hidden
interests in order to gain power and money through the control of public opinion.
And thus one must take responsibility and practice critical reasoning, and to deliberately
look for the double standards within the information that is being presented,
and not to watch / hear the information passively, one must question and
investigate in order to ensure that the information is aligned with reality and
not promoting a one sided interest, otherwise we will always remain as commodities,
as tools in the game in which others are playing, and powerless to influence or
change.

This blog is a follow up from my previous blog Day 155 - Desperation - How will the world ever change?, where I express my desperation towards the condition of the world and blame others for creating it, while not taking responsibility and realizing my part in creating the world as it is - in the following blogs I will be walking in self forgiveness the points that had opened up through writing the previous blog, as my first step of actually taking self responsibility.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to admire people who are "true activists" and go out and fight against the inhumanity and abuse being inflicted on people or animals or the environment due to whatever reason, within this, I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to be blinded by the appearance of them "changing the world" and within that not allowing myself to question if the time and effort they are spending on their cause is actually effective within asking myself if this cause / fight is actually addressing the core problem and issue as the source that is creating the problem to begin with, within this, I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see that we have but limited time on earth, and within our limited time any minute spent not working towards an actual solution that addresses the core issues and problems of the world, is a minute wasted, and thus, I realize it is not enough to be dedicated and committed and driven within a desire to change the world, we must place our efforts in an actual solution that addresses the problem in it's totality, within this I realize that working towards anything that isn't the final solution is a waste of time and a mere distraction, as it allows the problem to continue untreated
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to, within wanting to make a difference, not investigate thoroughly the organizations I am participating within, and thus am not actually work towards a practical solution that will change anything effectively, but rather work towards making myself feel better through volunteering, being an activist and seeing myself as someone that is working towards a real change rather than actually doing it
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to admit to the harsh fact that by being an activist in any organization that doesn't address the source problem of this world, I am acting within self interest, so that I can define myself as a good person and place myself morally higher than others that don't care about the suffering and abuse, and thus, I separate myself from those that I have defined as indifferent or as the cause of the problem, where I see myself as part of the solution, within this, I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to see that separation and inequality are the source problems that manifest all other problems as mere symptom to separation and inequality, and thus, by placing myself as separate from others and morally higher than others I am in fact contributing to the problem rather to the solution, as I am living out the very construct of separation and inequality within and as myself, and thus am giving my permission for separation and inequality to carry on in any aspect and form within this reality, and thus through participating in separation and inequality I am accepting and allowing all separation and inequality to exist within this world, and thus allowing and accepting all the outcomes and consequences as flow out from this starting point we all exist as, as separation and inequality
I realize that the only way to change anything within and as this world is through learning to live as equal and one, both within self and within one's relationships and environment - thus I realize that any solution that doesn't include both correcting self and the world system to exist as the living expression of oneness and equality isn't an effective solution, thus I realize that the answer to the worlds problems, which we have all created and accepted, must be on both levels as on an individual level and the world system level - anything less is unacceptable because within anything less there is compromise and thus an acceptance that the problem cannot really be solved - but, in realizing that this compromise is based in fear and past / future projections, one must see that it is not based on reality, and thus, is not valid - as the physical reality shows us - change takes a physical movement, not a belief or hope, but simply walking in the direction necessary, in dedication and commitment and change will be inevitable.
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that without investigating and understanding what I am doing, how can I trust that I am actually doing anything worth while from the perspective that it is actually working towards changing reality for the better through solving the source problem and not merely placing a plaster to momentarily feel better while the actual problem goes unattended
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize, that similar to a disease in the body, when it is not treated affectively it escalates and will end up causing more pain and suffering, while only a source solution as within finding the actual cause and reason for the problem, and attending to it specifically will make it better, I realize that the actual treatment of the sick body may be painful and take more time than merely taking pain killers or superficial antibiotics, but within this I realize I must be patient and consistent because it is basic common sense, that we must solve the problems from the root, or else the root will get stronger and the problem will get worse.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to admire those who are activists and go out and fight for the causes they believe in, though I haven't considered their actual starting point and within this, I haven't considered the actual goals of the organization they are fighting for, I have not allowed myself to see the entire picture within it's full context - thus, I have been allowing myself to admire an idea, an illusion
I forgive myself for not accepting and allowing myself to realize that I have been admiring the character I see in them as being diligent, consistent and dedicated, and not them per say, as these are aspects that I have not discovered within myself yet and have not allowed myself to express and explore as myself, as these are aspects within myself that I have been suppressing in fear of standing up and taking self responsibility, and thus have not allowed myself to exist as them in equality, but rather I have defined myself as inadequate and incapable of such characters, and thus admire them when I see them in others.
The only solution worth fighting for is one that actually addresses all points that are the core cause for all other problems which manifest as symptoms of the core problem we must solved - this being the manifestation of inequality and separation, as the desire for power, control, greed - all created within a system that promotes and thrives on inequality, and reward greed and corruption, within a corrupted form of capitalism which we have learned to believe is the manifestation of freedom, when in fact it is the chamber of enslavement - as we are all enslaved to fear of survival instead of living as kings and queens in the earthly kingdom, while a small elite are playing monopoly with our lives, feeding us with illusions through the media that is owned by them, to buy products owned by them, to vote for politicians owned by them, promoting war, hate, fear all to keep us in our enslaved ignorance - this is the one point worth addressing, because within it, we will see that all the other problems of this world are linked to this one point - this is why Equal Money Capitalism (EMC) is the only organization / movement that is actually addressing all points, from unemployment, to health care, to education, to the weapon industry, to corruption in politics, to brain washing in advertisements , to accepted media manipulation, to animal abuse, to pollution, to sweat shops, to child abuse - the list of problems is too long to mention, yet you will see, if you dare to investigate self honestly, that EMC is the only proposal that addresses all points, as it is directed by one principle, the principle of Equality and Oneness as What is Best for ALL LIFE – Only within this principle can all problems actually be addressed, solved and corrected effectively, while considering all aspect, all people, and all parts of the equation of LIFE.
