Changes

This, dear one, is a matter of [[time]] and evolving [[maturity]] and thoughtfulness, for a troubled educational system in this country and other countries.  Your educational system will not become holistic and [[effective]] until it recognizes that there are some aspects of the [[universe]] which are unknowable, [[mysterious]] and which causes you great [[curiosity]], and of course this is a [[wonderful]] [[facet]] that must not be swept away from your educational forum.

*Segregation and compartmentalization in education

Vicki:  Thank you.  That was helpful, because it really did delineate between religion and spirituality for me, and its role.  I see the beginning of some reconciliation here in my thoughts.

I’d like to go back; I missed one area of discussion that I wanted to talk about.  It has to do with segregation and compartmentalization of our educational system, and as I said before, I see that we do this in many areas.  One area that I’d like to talk about is gender.  I see that oftentimes we segregate in certain activities, and even in certain schools.  So my question is:  How do you view this practice, whether it’s an all-boy, or all-girl school, or all-boy or all-girl activities?

MONJORONSON:  There are of course, positive aspects to teaching only boys at one time, and only girls at one time, but there are certain behaviors and ways of behaving where they need to be separated.  However, the compartmentalizing that you have and segregating that you have spoken about, is another aspect of the linearity of education and of thinking.  Compartmentalizing and using logic are very, very immediately productive, but they do not always reflect the reality that you live in.  Life truly is a continuum.  If you were to segregate, you would see that there are little boys and little girls, and that there are adult men and adult women—and some are in-between for teens, which is very confusing to everybody!  You would find that in actuality there is a continuum as these children grow into adulthood, and this reflects the reality that you live in.

Both of these ways of viewing the universe, the world, the social sphere that individuals live in, both need to be taught; that simply using this compartmentalization, this linearity, lends itself to judgment, to inaccurate discernment, leads to thinking in ways which do not reflect reality of where you live.  Extreme cases of this are prejudice and bigotry, that you are not one of us, because of your skin color; that you are not one of us because you come from a different clan or tribe, that therefore we can kill you, and it is justifiable; or we can segregate you, or we can capture you and use you as a slave.  These are old, archaic ways of behaving, but they are still used in people’s thinking and treatment of others.  This compartmentalization and linearity lends to inaccurate thinking, that there is separation from others, whereas in reality, there is no separation at all, but continuity and ultimately oneness.  Your question is soundly based as it leads one into a larger way of thinking about your world, your culture, and your place in it.  Anything that causes separation is artificial and does not reflect the true continuum of humanity, of which you are one and among.
