FAMILY AND THE EDUCATIONAL INPUT
OUR CULTURAL VALUES
Love, through its corollary TASKS, should continue to be the cultural
value before all others to be universally generated which is not presently
practised enough to be effective. ‘LOVE through TASKS’ is
best and can readily demonstrate the most important cultural practices
required of humanity. The recognition of the commonality of the wider
practices of TASKS in all religions and philosophies depends upon it
being regarded as the constant afore-thoughts and supreme consummate
conduct of everyone.
BELIEF AND ACCEPTANCE
The prospect for TASKS as The Five Ethical Duties requires each of us
who feels that The Almighty has imbued part of His Godlyness within
us to regard ourselves, with due humility, as Godlyans in Godlyanity.
Even atheists can practise TASKS, as The Five Ethical Duties, to advantage
without necessarily believing themselves to be Godlyans though they
may miss the fraternal aspects. Thereafter each of us can easily practise:
Inwardly – Godlyans, by consciously saying to themselves, “I
accept and recognise the gift from God of Love and His Godlyness within
me and I will faithfully and fearlessly practice it.” From this
we establish the awareness to pre-fix every thought, word and deed with
His ‘LOVE through TASKS’ as part of our freewill.
Outwardly – by spreading the Five Ethical Duties as a way of life,
fearless of the consequences, to eventually contribute - in whichever
faith or philosophy - to the ultimate betterment of humanity. As we make
contact and mingle with other people the Godlyness of each of us could
engender the benefits to be derived.
Globally - the wider use of TASKS should first be taught to children
by fathers and mothers preferably in responsible family units. This initial
induction for the children would be followed and complemented by other
human contact and the teaching professions. These are the first steps
required to create betterment by ‘LOVE through TASKS’.
“
THE FAMILY” – A QUOTE FROM SHARE INTERNATIONAL – OCTOBER
2002
“
The family unit is the basis of all social life. Its importance cannot
be over emphasised. Today this pre-eminence is being eroded by neglect,
experiment and a misunderstanding of the essential needs of children.
All children need a stable background in which to grow and the exemplars
of that process, a mother and father. That not all parents provide that
stability or offer worthy examples is, sadly, all too true. Many factors
are involved in this unfortunate condition: lack of education, poverty,
inadequate housing, illness and irresponsible and feckless adults immature
and unfit for the rigours of family life.”
“
Let it also be said that millions in every country that is poverty stricken
and deprived of every amenity, strive valiantly and mostly succeed, against
all odds, to hold their families together and provide a stable and loving
example to their young, They are the unsung heroes of the race who, through
tenacity of purpose and endless self-sacrifice, represent the best that
humanity can show.”
The Five Ethical Duties make it easier for us all to use the Godly ‘bit’ in
each of us to become Godlyans in Godlyanity. There is no need to be shy or
modest about being Godly as, with Godlyness already within each of us, God
prefers we show it by practising ‘LOVE through TASKS’. At this
juncture it is worth quoting extracts from pages 47-51 in the book ‘HOME
- Heaven On Mother Earth’ by the author Patricia Diane Cota-Robles:
“
Our God Selves… are catapulting us forward into new levels of awareness.
The misperceptions of our fragmented human egos are being exposed in the blazing
Light of Illumined Truth. One of the greatest misperceptions of our human egos
is the notion that the polarities of God are good and evil. … We believe
that the polarities of God are: love- hate, peace - war, health – disease,
prosperity – poverty, happiness – grief et cetera. Unfortunately
this is the most destructive belief system we can have. Humanly created mutations
or opposites are entirely different from the natural polarities of God.
“
During this unique time of awakening, our fragmented human egos are being given
the opportunity to be transformed into Light but they don’t believe they
will survive the process. Most of them are afraid to trust. They think it is
better to face the pain we know rather than risk the unknown. It is time for
each of us to tap into our own Divine Guidance.
“
In Truth God does not release one electron of precious life-energy that is
less than the harmony and love of God. The mis-creations were created through
humanity’s freewill choices and the misuse of our creative faculties
of thought and feeling and not by God.
“
The use of power within every man, woman and child must now be balanced with
love, reverence-for-life and enlightenment. It is imperative for this vital
healing to occur within every evolving soul…at this time. This healing
will allow our God Selves to once again become the guiding Light of our Earthly
experiences.”
Godlyan believers should have no difficulty in accepting the above quotation.
As for secularists and atheists their natural bent towards TASKS is inherent
in them from that part of their being and spirit from which they are caused
to love and, equally, contribute goodness. If this approach for them seems
more or less intangible it is no more so than say, gravity or electricity or
magnetism or the ether, which we all take for granted and, most of the time,
do not give them a second thought but, where would we be without them?
TASKS FOR PEACE AND GODLYANDOM
(with respect for Wm Blake)
I shall not cease the Godly wisdom
Nor shall my trowel sleep in my hand
‘
Til we have built love’s Godlyandom
In hearts and minds in every land.
A LIVING LOVE (TO MUSIC?)
Millions of lives are in distress
Mistaken temptations bring on the strife
We yearn for leaders of Godlyness
A Living Love to harmonize life
T-ruthfulness encouraged at every stage
Unselfish integrity whatever the cost
Each one and groups all feel the gauge
A Living Love our spiritual quest
A-ccountability follows for nothing’s lost
Even though un-carers will decline
Question the shift of blame and the cost
A Living Love in practice opine
S-ervice in TASKS is the ever helping hand
Our Loving One God will always see
Worldly Wonders secured o’er the land
A Living Love makes us emotionally free
K-indness in this renewing refrain
Manifests enlightenment that readily flows
Betterments too will indicate the gain
A Living Love from each one glows
S-ynthesis in TASKS leads to Godlyanity
To hold and practice with un-blinkered eyes
Encouraging humanity by every degree
A Living Loving heart and soul allies
EDUCATION FROM MANY ASPECTS
A Timetable for teaching TASKS to Newborn Souls to mend our World for
Peace
0-3 years - Parental initiation and demonstration for lifetime influence
and benefit.
3-7 years - Open environment among the family, teachers and community
groups showing the merits of LOVE through TASKS.
7-11 years - Wider ethical influences from the family, teachers, friends
and community groups to extend the faith and trust each individual develops
including practices of goodwill and best behaviour towards others.
11-17 years - Extension from all members of the family and teachers prior
to taking up the work ethic, preferably in jobs with interests that motivate
individuals with emphasis on idealism, ethics and personal responsibility.
17 years, plus - Further Education for all ages to continue as Godlyan
Students in Universities and/or Employment in The University of Life
unto maturity and later years.
It is time for us all to come to regard our ways in life from new perspectives
based upon the eternal validity of TASKS to be expected from everyone;
parents can be prime motivators and the cycle continues from generation
to generation
People should be neither timorous nor loud in the new self-awareness
as a Godlyan. Neither shyness nor egotism can aid the progress of Godlyanism,
only the quiet yet positive regard for God to develop the worthwhile
effects of LOVE through TASKS and GRACE for PEACE in Godlyandom on earth.
EDUCATION FROM COLLECTANEA PLUS TRIANGLES - THE GYM FOR MENTAL EXERCISES
The potential for Godlyanity to introduce dramatic changes upon world
conditions and events is truly beyond measure. Surely the changes could
not be so unbearable particularly if they lead this woeful, over-killing
world away from its deadly course. Is TASKS the paradigm shift to betterment
for which the world is waiting? Could it really be in our own hands,
down to us and under a new type of ‘True to God’ leadership?
Surely God, His Hierarchy, Masters, Angels and disciples would be pleased
that we have so prepared ourselves for the arrival of His representative
that He would not need to send one?
In the spirit of, “I said to the man who stood at The Gate, ‘Give
me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown’ who replied ‘Go
out into the darkness and put your hand into The Hand of God. That shall
be to you better than light and safer than a known way’.” Faith
and mystique our guiding light in our Godlyanity? Why not? It’s
better than the current mess.
By creating the mental exercise GYM, God-You-Me, the triangle becomes
the symbol of communication between two or more people and our One God.
It indicates our willingness to ‘talk not to war.’ The triangle
is also a means to signal or as a musical instrument and its form can
be simple and a small shape to be worn or displayed in all manner of
media by which we would be able to indicate our being practising Godlyans.
The baby’s nursing would require its development through the religions
and educational systems for the promulgation of TASKS. Godlyanity will
then grow on a global scale and become the greatest opportunity for guiding
the people in His Plan for ‘LOVE through TASKS’ to Godlyandom
on Mother Earth.
EDUCATION AND CITIZENSHIP
Some publicity was given in the media in Britain that the Government
created curricula to encourage schools to promote inter-faith awareness
and tolerance. The stated purpose was to assuage the divisions and
confrontations between communities. These are admirable plans by the
authorities but up to now it seems that no authority - be it governmental,
religious, commercial, economical, educational or scientific - has
had the foresight to state the unfashionable ethical basics upon which
such desirable targets may be achieved.
Assuming authorities are aware of the high value of Truthfulness Accountability
Service Kindness Synthesis then why do they not more widely use and propound
them? Is it to maintain ‘power over’ or of the difficulty
in facing such disciplines as will be required in a wider practice of
TASKS? Many proposals from governments become ‘political footballs’ and
are doomed to high funding and failure. This results in private and public
distrust because of the wasted effort, time and public money purely for
vote catching purposes
One way to approach the effort required is on a National Coalition Basis
as was applied in Britain to conduct WW2. Instead of having to fight
a military war against invading forces or one of the equally atrocious
operations called ‘ethnic cleansing’, it would be better
to develop expectations of ethical wills on a National scale. Therefore,
to include a train of thought on the subject of education, we could let
our minds range over what its improvement requires of each of us and
ask ourselves, ‘why is the best often not produced by our free
wills?’ In most cases it is the lack of the teaching of the basic,
unselfish tenets of love for conducting ourselves according to God’s
will. Learning these tenets involves personal and united action, communication
and motivation. Where are our leaders in all these matters?
As for the teaching profession being required to teach Citizenship this
may already be in train in English schools but is suffering from the
pressures of political guise, spin and sleaze as in so many things. While
much is probably being done the education system is insufficiently geared
to cope. However, let us give credit for an excellent idea with the proviso
that we see whether Citizenship becomes another game in the ‘political
football’ series. Or is it another effort of the powers-that-be
to bend our minds to their ideas of ‘people control’ rather
than ensuring that the principles of freedom for the people take first
place. The bones of the subject in The Citizenship File appear to be ‘personal
restraints and moral responsibility’ built from parenting skills
and those of the teachers; that would be progress.
‘NEW EDUCATION’ – FROM SHARE INTERNATIONAL OCTOBER
2002
“
The new education must address this fundamental problem (parenting) and
institute the training and requirements for family life. It is odd, is
it not, that this most basic aspect of social life should receive such
scant attention and be left to the vagaries of chance to such a large
extent? In most countries the right to drive a car is regulated and controlled
by age and tests, more or less severe. Doctors and nurses, pilots and
train drivers all of them, may carry out their useful service only after
due training and careful preparation. Yet millions of young people are
allowed to enter this field of service (parenting), the most difficult
in the world, for the most part devoid of training of any kind. The simple
biological urge to reproduce and the domination of the woman’s ‘time-clock’ are
considered sufficient to grant the right to multiply and add to a congested
world. The young couple commence the subtle and difficult art of upbringing
and nourishing of souls in incarnation with little more than their conditioning
to guide them. The conditioning they duly pass to their children and
so the follies and ignorance perpetuate.Thus the need for the light of
a new approach to this sacred service.”
Many facets to new ideas that are feasible, practical and desirable are
acceptable in an inter-faith way in conjunction with the responsibilities
of Education and Citizenship about which our One God says ‘Hear
Me Everywhere’. These facets are to do with personal commitment,
attitudes towards God, studies in ethics, true and free democracy, civic
pride and service across the whole of the global dimension. Above all,
they need the recognition and acceptance by free wills with a mindset,
not a mind-bend, to uplift our expectations of life by our return to
God in ‘Love through TASKS’.
Family and education become a combination of basic ethical activity across
the whole spectrum of human existence though the occasional errors and
omissions are lessons in themselve. My time has been, fortuitously, a
happy one from the prairies of Canada and its sense of adventure through
my early days when I bought my first bicycle from the earnings on a daily
milk round. The tragic years of the war and its suffering seem not to
have assuaged the thirst of capitalist methods as they still obtain,
under what ever label sold, yet my own family of two daughters and four
grandchildren, all of them respectable and happy, attest to the high
values required of family life which are worth maintaining notwithstanding
the trials and tribulations. The later years in the ageing process brings
its own problems and satisfactions yet the fruits of labour have afforded
me the sunshine and friendships of Barbados with England the bedrock
whether or not that is politically correct. Oh to be blessed with love!
With love to all, Reg Haynes.
