*The Socratic method of education

*The Socratic method of education

MMc:  Thank you.  Is this question and answer format that we are involved in typical of the educational system beyond the finite level, the rest of the universe?

MMc:  Thank you.  Is this question and answer format that we are involved in typical of the educational system beyond the finite level, the rest of the universe?

   

   

MONJORONSON:  Yes, it is.  The Socratic Method is a wonderful example of “Seek and ye shall find; ask and you will have answers.”  It is a process which is never ending, and even in the days when you are a member of the corps of Finality, you will still have questions, and these will be answered in the moments of infinite time.  It is difficult to speak of time or in the future from a perspective of the eternal.  The juxtaposition between speaking of the presence in the eternal moment, and the presence in the moment here in the finite universe is much different.  Here, everything is sequential, but in the eternal realm it is completely developmental.

MONJORONSON:  Yes, it is.  The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Socratic Method] is a [[wonderful]] example of “Seek and ye shall find; ask and you will have answers.”  It is a [[process]] which is never ending, and even in the days when you are a member of the [[Corps of Finality]], you will still have [[questions]], and these will be answered in the [[moments]] of [[infinite]] [[time]].  It is difficult to [[speak]] of time or in the [[future]] from a [[perspective]] of the [[eternal]].  The [[juxtaposition]] between speaking of the [[presence]] in the [[eternal]] moment, and the presence in the moment here in the [[Spacetime|finite universe]] is much [[different]].  Here, everything is [[sequential]], but in the [[eternal]] realm it is completely [[developmental]].

   

   

MMc:  Completely developmental?  Can you enlarge that a little bit for me, because I’m not sure I understand what you are talking about.?

MMc:  Completely developmental?  Can you enlarge that a little bit for me, because I’m not sure I [[understand]] what you are talking about.?

   

   

MONJORONSON:  Yes.  There is an “order,” a development where one step leads to another.  You see this every year when you plant your gardens.  You prepare the soil, you plant the seeds, you nurture them with water and sunlight and soon they begin to grow.  You do not anticipate that you will be able to harvest the carrots when you first see the little stems, but you wait through the developmental process of growth and maturation to wait for the completion of that cycle.  Some of the carrots you will eat, and some of the carrots you will leave to go to seed, and then collect the stems, dry them, prepare the seeds, and then store them for use next year.  That is developmental.  One step must precede another.

MONJORONSON:  Yes.  There is an “order,” a [[development]] where one step leads to another.  You see this every year when you [[plant]] your [[gardens]].  You [[prepare]] the [[soil]], you plant the [[seeds]], you [[nurture]] them with water and sunlight and soon they begin to [[grow]].  You do not [[anticipate]] that you will be able to [[harvest]] the carrots when you first see the little stems, but you wait through the developmental [[process]] of growth and [[maturation]] to wait for the completion of that [[cycle]].  Some of the carrots you will eat, and some of the carrots you will leave to go to [[seed]], and then collect the stems, dry them, [[prepare]] the [[seeds]], and then store them for use next year.  That is [[developmental]].  One step must precede another.

   

   

MMc:  A few sessions ago I asked the question if you would please tell us if there was any way to make this venue better, or for me to improve my performance.  You applauded my willingness to ask these types of questions.  You told us that we are too “independent,” and I am sure there are many aspects to this.  Is our unwillingness to humble ourselves and ask for help one of the reasons that you say we are too independent?

MMc:  A few sessions ago I asked the [[question]] if you would please tell us if there was any way to make this venue better, or for me to improve my [[performance]].  You [[applauded]] my willingness to ask these types of questions.  You told us that we are too “[[independent]],” and I am sure there are many aspects to this.  Is our unwillingness to humble ourselves and ask for help one of the reasons that you say we are too independent?

   

   

MONJORONSON:  Yes.  This question and answer process to learn the process of togetherness, of coming together of meeting minds at a common point, and though there is a vast difference between your intelligence and mine we come to a point of agreement during the question and asking/answering process.  It is a means of teaching you to seek the teacher that is around you, in the events and developments that are around you.  The old male paradigm of knowing what is true to you, does not apply to what is true to others.  It is a process of wonderment, of curiosity, of being open and receptive to information.  This allows you to be adaptive and to amend your behaviors, your attitudes, your thinking and your actions in life.  You see, there is so much to be learned through this process and when you have your minds made up, when you are hard and fast in your opinions about something, then there is no teaching you or no means of raising you to higher levels.  When you are open and receptive as little children, then we can lead you into the greatness that you wish to have in your life, but think that you can do it by yourself.  It is much more delightful to know that your greatness was provided and assisted by those who love you—and we surely do love you—and we want each of you to come into your greatness, and you can do that through working with each other and with us.

MMc:  It would seem that we are much “more” working together than we ever will be working separately.

I’ve been giving some thought to the equitable healthcare system for everyone.  I can see that there needs to be some substantial changes in thinking, not only on my own part, but in the culture of society as well.  Am I correct in thinking that you said these changes will come about in the next decade or so?
