GITEN ON EDUCATION
 

 
 
“My beautiful mother was so wild in school that the boys in her class shoot her in the foot with an air gun. One day I came home from school when I was 14 years old, and felt that I never want to go back to school again. I have always rebelled in authoritarian systems, with a hidden agenda of controlling and conditioning the students to become obedient servants for the social order and for society. To get some parental opposition, I told my mother: “I will never go back to school again!”. The answer that I got from her was: “I would never do that either”.

 

If education would be real, it would help the students to know who they are. It would teach the students meditation, so that the students can find their own intelligence, love, trust, understanding, truth, wisdom, silence and creativity. But real intelligence is always rebellious, and society do not really want intelligent people, because they are difficult to manipulate and control.

 

In the career programes of the university, in the the business administration-, economy- and law programes, there is no emphasis on personal maturity, which create a lack of responsibility and awareness in the students. This is especally alarming since the students of these programes will be the coming leaders of society. A friend of mine calls the students of the business administration programe in Stockholm for “empty shells”, since there is only emphasis on the superficial surface, but there is no real depth and content.

 

This lack of real education is one the basic reasons for the state the world is in right now, where more and more people think that the ackopalyps, the end of the world, is coming closer.”
