TO THINK - OR TO REPEAT?

The vast majority of the current educational systems tend to create repeaters of other people's thoughts, rather than autonomous thinkers. Students must memorize and repeat what books and teachers say, without knowing, by themselves, to discriminate between true and false.

We are in the age of “electronic brains” … And now also in the age of artificial intelligence, where the future looks like a mystery, full of uncertainties, apprehension and fear when facing how far the man-ego can go.

And with this, we fill the world with human automata, atomic reactors, whose mechanically reactions correspond to an action. In the face of the power of the commercial media, the man has almost completely lost his criteria; he buys what the publicity advertises so violently, that he is convinced that he needs what he just desires.

--- Nature is creative, where nothing is annihilated, nothing is lost and everything is transformed, however, the same cannot be said of modern man; apart of few, they are a bunch of copycats who hardly present something new in creativity. Modern man lives by observing the behaviour of others and identifies with it keeping himself in that posture, adapts and the worst ... adjusts to it!

The man who integrates the mind and thoughts into his inner divine Self and dares to live his ideas and die for his ideals, who has freed himself from the asphyxiating wave of all the circumstances that come together to annihilate him and dominates the attacks of his tyrannical ego, and fights the good fight, not only intending to win but for the delightful enchantment of the battle itself, this integral man is a creator… produces new values… enriches the world with unprecedented experiences. He is not a simple repeater - he is a powerful creator.

All true progress for humanity is based on two principles:

A) compliance = tradition,

B) non-compliance = evolution.

Man must accept from the collection of the past what is true and good in it - and not to remain a prisoner of that past, in traditions - he must add from the treasure of the present and the future, what is true and good in it.

And this fusion of the true and the good, both past and present and future results in universal beauty!

Henry Ford, a famous industrialist of the past, said: “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason so few engage in it.”
