[GJM] Let's get things crystal clear here . . .

Hi Co-learner's - 

I recently viewed a couple cartoons from the TRUE MAJORITY website, and would like for you to view them also. And then tell me what's wrong with them when so much of what is presented here is done soooo well and is sooooo right on!.

OK, now you've viewed them, so let's do some dialogue on this situation.     

The manner in which the information is presented here is fabulous -
 short, quick, and easy to understand, don't you agree? . 

But let me share with you the problem as I see it.  What is suggested is that we should be putting money into rebuilding our present school system.  But, on the Co-learner's list, haven't we discussed that that is where the problem begins?  That is, with the present school system directing "teaching"  to the linear left side of the brain, the end result of which leaves us with a highly unbalanced collective society which is caught in making downdraft choices instead of updraft one due to an inability to see the whole dynamic of any given situation. I mean, how can we make intelligent decisions when we can only see a portion of the whole dynamic?  

And, as we have learned from people like Dr. Carla Hannaford, Marion Brady, and John Taylor Gatto, what we need are: "learning environments" where individuals may through "hands-on experiential" learning, explore the fullest potential of any given situation and solve the problem from seeing the whole dynamic and filling in the missing pieces.  .  

To learn more about our present system of schooling and how it began, let's watch this short presentation put on by The Odysseus Group. http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/index.htm and then, let's get this message to Ben Cohen so he can refine his message and make it more appropriate. 

You know, friends, we really must be diligent in finding out about these things when we are considering "what went wrong" and get crystal clear about cause and effect. Which is why I'm starting a movement called "The Crystal Clearwater Alliance" so we can muster enough people together to "call the game" when we see intended good thinking gone wrong due to lack of sufficient and valid information. This is why we all need to become Co-learners.  This transformation from a death-defining society to a life-enhancing society means changing just about everything we do.  And, this certainly is not going to be easy.  We need to exercise vigilance at all times, working  together to iron out all the wrinkles as we seek to find the Implicate and Natural Order of things as they were intended. 

More on the Crystal Clearwater Alliance later. 

with love and in gratitude for all that we do together,

mary rose .
