Global Recovery Educational Parks (Global Recovery part 2)

Global Recovery Educational Parks:

This section should be read after the main blog entry on Global Recovery, since this sectoin follows on from that and relates to:

2:         The purchase and sustainable development of pieces of land and buildings that would help to create at least one Global Recovery Educational Park in Spain, one in the UK, one in the USA and others elsewhere if possible.

3.         The purchase and sustainable development of Cinema Studios Fort Bravo, located in the Desert of Tabernas Natural Park, in Almería, Spain, around which the first Global Recovery Educational Park in Spain would be created.

4.         As an alternative to 3 above, or in addition to 3 above, the purchase and sustainable development of an area of land with buildings, and livestock to create "The Mini Texas Western Ranch", and "The European Cowboy School" in the province of Almeria, Spain, to directly link with items 2 and 3 above.
 
5.         The purchase and sustainable development of Aller Park, on the Dartington Hall Estate, Devon, England, around which another Global Recovery Educational Park would be created.

6.         The purchase and sustainable development of land, with or without suitable buildings, in Colorado, USA, around which another Global Recovery Educational Park would be created.

Education Is Vital and Re-Vitalising:

You will probably have gathered from this blog that the pivotal area in the seven Focal Areas of Global Recovery (the organisation) is Education.

There are four main types of Education which Human Beings employ around the world, in order to Train, Develop and Enlighten themselves. These are:

• Extractive Learning
• Basic Experiential Learning
• Advanced Experiential Learning
• Emanational Learning

Extractive Learning: In orthodox education it has become the norm for Extractive Learning to be employed when teaching children and adults about anything. The common phrase for this in teaching circles is "chalk and talk", referring to the days when the teacher would write information on a blackboard, using chalk, then verbally explain whatever was being taught. That may be supplemented by the student reading from books, or nowadays looking for information on the internet.

However, this approach requires the student to EXTRACT something useful from all of the information they encounter, and it helps to form an EXTRACTIVE MENTALITY.

It has also been widely recognised for decades that this is the least effective method of teaching or facilitating learning that exists and a common adage for Extractive Learning is, "I hear and I forget, I see and I remember". It requires students to utilise their ears and their eyes, or for Braille readers, their fingers. This way of learning therefore mainly utilises the physical senses of Hearing, Seeing and Touching. It is useful for Training.

Experiential Learning: Has become more and more popular in recent years, even in orthodox educational establishments, simply because it is far more effective than Extractive Learning.

This type of learning is not lecture based. It is based in people having relevant experiences.

In Basic Experiential Learning some Extractive Learning usually still takes place, however this is reinforced by the student engaging in Appropriate Practical Activities which require the student to use all of his or her physical senses.

In Advanced Experiential Learning, again, some Extractive Learning usually takes place, and just like in basic experiential learning, this too is reinforced by the student engaging in Appropriate Practical Activities, requiring the student to use all of his or her physical senses.

However, in addition, in Advanced Experiential Learning the emotions of the student are also engaged.

The common adage for Basic Experiential Learning is, "I do and I understand"

Whilst an appropriate adage for Advanced Experiential Learning would be, "I do and I feel and thus I understand MORE"

Basic Experiential Learning is highly effective and Advanced Experiential Learning is even more effective. All types of Experiential Learning are useful for Training and Development.

Emanational Learning: This is generally not deliberately employed in the West, and some educational institutions may not even be aware that this exists, however it is by far the most effective method of learning that human beings may currently employ. (It is deliberately employed in learning institutions in countries like Tibet, for example.)

Briefly, Emanational Learning consists of allowing the Mundane Mind to be open to True Mind or Soul.

These in turn are naturally open to The Mind of God (within us / internal) and The Ways of Heaven (above us / eternal) and Nature (around us / external).

The True Mind or Soul involved in this educational process may be your own, or it may be that of some teacher, friend or other enlightened being. (Horses are great at this, by the way.)

Being open to Emanational Learning facilitates KNOWING, which includes understanding, but goes beyond this into GENIUS. It is the most common form of learning in Nature, and the source of all that may be known is God, The Whole of Life and Nature, as one (All).

There are countless examples of this, but a simple example in Nature can be found by observing any bird hatching out of an egg.

The chick in the egg KNOWS how to get out of the egg, yet it has never done this before. It has not read a book on how to hatch. Therefore neither Extractive Learning nor Experiential Learning is being employed by the chick. The chick is simply making use of Emanational Learning by being in unison with All

And the GENIUS of The Whole of Life and Nature, working in UNISON, is to provide the chick, whilst still in the egg, with an extra hard knobbly bit on the end of its beak, with which to more easily break its way out of the egg - that knobbly bit disappears after a while, once the chick has hatched - how cool is that!.

Through Emanational Learning all living things are able to behave in ways that are INSTINCTIVE, and INTELLIGENT and all fully sentient beings are so because they are also INTUITIVE. Emanational Learning is the key to True Enlightenment, it may also be employed to supplement any Training and Development.

Eartheart Omniversity:

This section relates to:

7.               The employment of suitable full-time and part-time personnel who, by engaging in Appropriate Practical Activity, will together support the sustainable development of 1,2,3,4, 5 and 6 above, in order to create thereby a world-class "Global-Life-Skills Omniversity" or "International Super University", (Possibly to be called "Eartheart Omniversity").

As previously stated, a natural by-product of creating Global Recovery, the organisation, along with a number of Global Recovery Educational Parks around the world, will be the establishment of an "International Super University" or "Life-Skills Omniversity".

Such an "Omniversity" will make appropriate use of all learning methodologies to facilitate Global Recovery, Global Sustainability and, ultimately, Global Unison.

Such an "Omniversity" would clearly be an educational facility, but it would also be an enthusiastic and pro-active supporter of the Process of Global Recovery.

Just like The International School for Ethical Business (The ISEB) and Global Recovery the organisation, this Eartheart Omniversity and other "Omniversities" will pragmatically initiate the birth and sustainable development of new "children" in the form of projects, ethical businesses and other international social enterprises that do the following:

• Help to facilitate the Process of Global Recovery
• Help to sustain, grow and develop The Global Recovery Fund
• Help to create and establish the Five Positive Global Industries*

For the good of all.

*Those five Positive Global Industries being:

• l The Global Wellbeing Industry (Which is basically in service of Aliveness)
• l The Global Prosperity Industry (Which is basically in service of Abundance)
• l The Global Peace Industry (Which is basically in service of Awareness)
• l The Global FUN Industry (Which is basically in service of Joy)
• l The Global Unison Industry (Which is basically in service of Freedom)

These new industries in turn would sustain and appropriately develop Ethical Banking and Ethical Business around the world.

Marketing & Promoting Global Recovery:

This section refers to:

8.               The Marketing and Advertising of all relevant areas.

There are of course myriad ways of Marketing and Advertising the various products and services that will arise out of The Global Recovery Initiative, and all mainstream methods of promoting relevant activities will be employed, as and when appropriate.

However please note the reference earlier to the creation of at least one distinct enterprises that will support the Marketing of items such as The Global Recovery Fund, The Global Recovery Initiative, Global Recovery as an organisation, ZAADZ, GAIAM and so on, as well as help to ENLIGHTEN people regarding what really is entailed in the Processes of Global Recovery, Global Sustainability and Global Unison.

One such proposed new enterprise being:

• Movie World Spain (Almería, Spain based venture, linked to Hollywood via Andrew McCarthy, ideally to be based at Cinema Studios Fort Bravo. Movie World will include the creation of a new Film School, Movie Studio, but the jewel in its crown will probably be  "Level Three Productions", a new Film Production Company that will exist to make movies which directly market and support the processes of Global Recovery, Global Sustainability and Global Unison.)

As and when it is relevant, between us we will produce specific Marketing Plans and formal Business Plans for any given aspect of this whole initiative..

PHEW!!!!
