The Purpose of Real Education

In accordance with the Laws of Nature, genuine education should:

1) Reveal and help the human being experience the interconnected processes and principles of Nature.

These are collectively the Natural Laws that are an expression of the Divine Laws.

2) Lead to the recognition and activation of the inherent abilities of the soul, to creatively support and further the revealed systems of Nature.

Recognition and experience of Nature will lead to real recognition of the natural abilities of the human spirit, and thus how the human being can activate and use its abilities to support the Natural Laws and further it’s environment.

3) Indigenously develop and progressively transform its own domestic environment and culture.

The human being is subject to the Natural Law, and is thus indigenous to a culture and environment like plants and animals in Nature. Thus, the recognition and use of his natural abilities will indigenously enhance and progressively develop his cultural environment. Same with Nature.

4) Through this, help to facilitate the increased recognition of God’s Activity, and the role the human being is assigned therein.

All processes in Nature and the Universe are an expression of aspects of the Divine Will that issues from God. Thus, the recognition of Natural laws and the creative use of personal abilities will lead to the increased recognition of God’s Activity as the crowning point.

In summary, real education must awaken clarity and personal experience of the Natural Laws, deep self-recognition, the natural abilities of the spirit, the role of the human being in the great system, and thus the increasing recognition of God’s Activity.

The crowning of real education as is pleasing to the Almighty will awaken genuine love and knowledge of self, of Creation, and of the Great Creator’s Living Activity. A love that becomes a living service of actively using one’s natural creative abilities for the progressive transformation, beautification and upbuilding of one’s environment and culture.

May the ray of recognition engild the human beings who are endowed and called to build real education in Africa. So that, through this work, human beings in future might unfold their creative abilities in harmony with Nature and thus to the honor of God.
