Consciousness, Creativity and the Brain

Eliza, you may like this video.

Perhaps, if all students were taught to meditate, taught Spirituality, given far more time to Be, and far less time to Be Examined, then maybe many young people would WANT to gather knowledge, would want to continue to continue with the natural learning ability we are all born with.

No baby is *born* a 'chav'....and perhaps there are people on this thread who need to remember that.

What people are not asking on here is WHY so many young people seem to almost rejoice in ignorance. When they start to ask that, then start to realise the answers, they may find that the educationstress industry is very much a part of the problem.

Oh..and 'chav' can also stand for 'council house and violent' in some folks eyes. Nice, huh?

I wasn't raised in a council house, but I was raised in a rented house on a private estate, where, until folks became wealthy enough to start buying the houses up, all houses looked the same, albeit with a slight difference in their styles. There were three colours of paintwork, green, blue and yellow....green, blue and yellow...on and on those colours went, right around our estate. My family's house stayed one of those colours long after many others had bought theirs, been able to paint their own colour...My dear Dad never did get to buy his house, despite us living there for 27 years. He loved that house with all his heart though...

Since that time, every house I've bought, apart from our first one ever, has been 'different' to other houses, and even to this day, living in a row of uniform houses makes me want to run away.

To live all your life on a council estate, particularly a bad one, brings its own stigma. To know that others make fun of you, think you're stupid, lower than shite, or some kind of social disease, brings anger and that anger keeps on growing, especially when you find that you are unable to break free from the very life you so want to...

Until society addresses what is so wrong within it, why it's become so fractured and how to stick it back together, things will continue in this vein. We will never put Humpty Dumpty back together though if, as we do it, we stick plasters on him with 'chav' written in bright, glow-in-the-dark colours.

Inside many minds that have switched off are bright but damaged brains. Those brains can all be brought back to a healthy state, but...I guess its far easier to medicate the children, call them names, curse them or put them in prison, rather than admit we are getting things so, SO wrong.
