Bøger i Naked Education serien

Naked Education is based on a fresh, radical vision of education. The primary goal is to expand the individual consciousness of students, parents, and teachers to ever-higher levels while asking everyone in the community to assume increased responsibility for lovingly caring for self, others and the environment. Naked Education demands ever increased focus in creating artistic expressions in the now. It regularly practices self-inquiry and meditation, and activities that develop intuition and imagination. Naked Education regularly teaches open, honest, productive communication of feelings and thoughts in place of safety.

"Only experience opens the inner Self to new vistas; only experience stimulates the individual search for Truth. The seeking for a fresh and better life causes our awareness to evolve and transports us into new dimensions of reality. That is why experiential education moves children, fascinates and mesmerizes them. That is why Naked Education works! Naked Education responds to what lives in children and what lives in their tuned-in teachers. We are here on earth to experience and learn from what we experience. Otherwise we live in our heads, in the mental realm that holds us prisoners to our fixed facts, to our fixed ideas, our fixed opinions, and our fixed prejudices. The living part of us is the part that does not resist experience, but embraces it."

The idea that a child enters earthly existence with specific gifts intended to be used to accomplish specific purposes, contrasts with modern notions that a child is a blank to be educated and programmed at will by parents, educators, and psychologists. Although a few generations ago, "callings" to particular paths in life were not unusual, the prevailing notion today is that we simply choose our careers according to the financial payoff. Each person bears a uniqueness that asks to be lived and that is already present before it can be lived.

I am here to let you know that you are not limited. The possibility of freedom is open to you. Our faces are the same, same roar! In the discovery of your true self, no magic rituals or formal initiations are needed. Initiation into your true Self happens quite naturally. When you drop your identity as a donkey, deep levels of Self are revealed. Once you have said, "Okay. It's time. Now is the time to find out the truth! Then all of your attachments show up. These are the tests. These attachments are the tests of your willingness to drop your limited mode of consciousness. Whatever your tests may be, like the Buddha's they come tailor made for you because they are arising from your own mind. They threaten what you're most afraid of losing. When you lose what you're most afraid of losing, you discover that which cannot be lost. The only thing that you really lose is your false identification. The truth is we never lose; true love is never lost. Eli Jaxon-Bear, Sudden Awakening
