LEARNFACTURING

The mere prospect of being able to be immersed in the realization that we know what we don't know, brings one to the first day of the rest of their hopefully long and curious journey into what it is we need to know.

That of course encompasses all there is to learn. We have the opportunity before us to do just that in some very succinct and powerful ways. Besides the obvious philosophical implications that have been both written and spoken of by great peoples thru the ages from Plato to Socrates and all the spiritual leaders.

This is no longer a Great Books discussion course to be relegated to the coffeehouse and churches. We have embarked upon a journey as rich, wide and deep as all life is and can be.

The journey to discover how to do the dance with all life by investigating how to course correct our society thru creating "empowerment zones" of learning where students young and old can sign onto the dimension of understanding what the resources around them really have to offer in terms of understanding how to not only navigate life’s shoals, but to excel in creating value in all they do.

We believe that each individual so empowered to work with these newfound resources of awareness can add tremendous value towards solving our worldly problems that have been created because of a lack of appreciation for this life we have been allowed to take part in.

In so doing each person has the opportunity to explore, fly if you will into a spiritual journey that will forever bring them into the dance of life. By agreeing to this new vision one can shed the cloak and mantle of negativity and despair this earthly world finds itself in.

People will not relegate their lives to a war of depleting resources because they will be empowered to find new resources all around them. To ask the questions of life that will spark the journey of answers and more questions, that will multiply and divide, making way for new life and understandings.

This is the Natural and spiritual world that creation has provided for all of life. No longer will people have to blow themselves and others up to level the playing (killing) fields. Although it is not important what this process is called, there is a new term coined Learnfacturing.

We propose that new agreements be made to further the atmosphere of cooperation that has been understood by a few enlightened individuals along the way. This is where people can be immersed into learning how to ask the questions and strive for the answers in a new model of societal cooperation that involves learning, growing and manufacturing the found answers in an organic process that emulates life.

This learning thru understanding the Natural world in which we live can bring into view the course corrections needed from the journey of the trajectory that the current model of the synthetic world we have created is on.

This journey that has created the divisive and self destructive atmosphere where people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, the world of the ego that bears little resemblance to life's truths and therefore places no real value in life. And to accelerate this understanding in a linear fashion in ways that will bring the understandings into practices which will allow America and the world the opportunity to repair the damage done to this wonderful and beautiful world we call Earth.

We invite you to step outside yourself , it is truly a leap of faith, explore what is you were always afraid to learn. With these new visions of the world, your journey will change in wonderful and unimagined ways that you only thought existed in books and movies for "other" people.

We invite you to be born again into the world of your potential. It's not over until it's over. We look forward to meeting you on this journey.

Happy Solstice to you all!
