TRUE EDUCATION AND ITS IMPORTANCE

The fundamental Concept:

When the term 'education' hits your ears, what is the first thing that pops up in your mind?  School, text books, memmorizing, dialogues such as 'A for Apple, B for ball,' geography, history, math...

Well, that is what most of you would think.  Let us try to understand the concept of education on a more fundamental level...on a level where it is 'equal' to all.

Education is directly linked with our evolution.  The cerebral cortex or what we might also call, the Human part of the brain, needs stimulation all the time in order to survive.  If not stimulated, the brain cells turn fatigue and eventually die as well.  Now, how do we exactly stimulate our cerebral cortex?

The answer is, by thinking; combination of creative and analytical thinking which should have its direction towards reality.  Are you thinking, "what the hell does that mean??"
Well, let me explain with an example.
We all know that every building or structure that is built, first has a BLUEPRINT.  A referance page that has all the details about that structure from a light bulp knob to sinks and taps.  The building is built based on that blueprint.

The direction of thinking here, is from the engineer's/arcitect's mind (these guys first think creatively to build something new, then they analyse its validity based on natures laws) to the Blueprint (this is where the final thought is brought into relaity on paper) and finally, to the final output (the completion of the journey of a thought to reality!)
Woah!!!  Some thought process!  And yes, if you are thinking in this way, then you are stimulating your mind.
And THAT, is what the true purpose and function of 'education' is.  To stimulate the cerebral cortex.  IF that is not happening you are not educating yourself.

Creative and Analytical thinking are the two main aspects for 'exercising the cerebral cortex' and to keep the human part of us alive.

Note that we have evolved from single celled orgainsms to reptelian creatures to mammalian creatures to Human Beings and during this process, one brain functioning system was built upon the other.  This means, our reptilian brain and the mammmalian brain is also still there underneath the Human part of our brain which is known as the cerebral Cortex.

The Reptelian brain is also known as R-complex (R stands for reptile) and the lymbic system is the mammalian brain part.

So if we don't stimulate the cerebral cortex, then, as said before, the cells turn fatigue and eventually die.  And as the cells die, the influence of the R-complex starts arising up.  Our actions and decisions are more influenced by the R-complex and hence reptilian tendancies are seen in our actions.

Territoriallism, dominance, supression, agression, surrendrance, etc. all are the traits of Reptiles.

The wars that we human beings go on, are nothing more than territorialism...a reptelian trait.  There are people who consider themselves greater than others and they tend to DOMINATE others...once again, reptelian tendancy.  Then there are those who consider themselves weak and do whatever the dominating guys tell them to do....Surrendrance, another reptelian trait.

Hence, we can conclude that a truly educted being would never dominate over others and would never surrender if someone 'more powerful' comes up and starts dominating it as well!!

That is the true importance of education.  If 'impossible' situations arrise, then the truly educated person would use its creative and anylatical thinking to get out of the situation.  That truly educated being has no limits and can do literally ANYTHING...to accomplish a given task.

A truly educated being would use entertainment just as a stress buster....and not as a way of life.  Because that person would know that entertainment as a way of life would mean letting the Reptelian traits take over oneself.
Evolution has truly given us a lot....its about time we evolved to the next phase of human existance.
