A New Education for New Minds

Beyond Words—This is the cornerstone of Part I. This chapter points to the idea of going beyond words or representations or symbols. The idea is that our intellect can only access a small amount of information. Beyond the intellect and the five senses is a knowing, an awareness that holds the keys to a new world.  

Thinking and Awareness— This chapter compares and contrast what thinking is and what awareness is. Our thinking minds offer us a way to function in the material world of cause and effect. Awareness does not require thinking. Awareness orients us toward our inner non material world. Both thinking and awareness can be used to evolve our educational system and our world. 

Purpose of Education: Keeping Knowledge Sacred— This chapter is divided into two parts. Part I offers a new perspective on what education is right now and what it could be. Part II focuses on how this new educational model could be used to develop new young minds. Focusing education on the human being instead of the knowledge is the key idea. Real knowledge is hidden deep within every human, and this chapter encourages readers to turn inward to discover this new information.

The World System—This chapter is a brief discussion on the major ideas and beliefs that run this world. It talks about how the ego (the idea of a separate self), money, and time run our larger world and our personal world. This chapter challenges these ideas and the necessity of each of these beliefs.  

Definition of a Teacher—The real duty of a teacher is to bring awareness to students about themselves and their environment. They do this by pulling knowledge out of students, pointing student back to their own inner guide, and eventually liberate a student from needing external teachers.   

A Student vs. An Attendee—There is a loss of the true meaning of a student. A student is a disciple of a real teacher or real knowledge. Most people who attend school are paid registered attendees. This chapter lays out the qualifications and duties of a student. 

Part II:  The Science of Writing: 
The Goal of Writing Is To. . .— This is the foundational principles of the system of writing that offers students the keys to the goal of writing.

Supremacy of Sentence Structure— Sentence structure is the key to writing. Sentences are vehicles for thought narratives. I teach the fundamentals of the structure of the four sentence types and the rules and punctuation that goes along with them.  

The Essay: God Status of the Thesis— In this chapter it begins by defining an essay as an explanation, clarification, and support of a thesis claim. This chapter teaches students how to write a thesis, then turn that into the topic sentences, and how to turn those topic sentences into body paragraphs.

Grammar Plain and Simple—This chapter provides definitions, examples, and explanation of the eight parts of speech (plus verbals).
