Levels

Ever watch young people playing Wii?
They get into it, and they aren't distracted
by anyone standing by them,

they are into the game. My daughter
bought a game for her Nephews
(that is her story and she's stickin'
to it)called "Donkey Kong." I love to
play the game but on Wii it's a bit
of a challenge for me, that
seems to be an age thing. Anyway
let's not digress, so the Nephews are
playing the game, the house could
have caught fire and burned down, they would still
be pushing them buttons as fast as they could, and
into the game. Which is when it hit me...

What if we taught math that way? Hey, wait a minute,
there are some programs that do...what if we taught
English that way? Hey wait a minute, there are
programs that do...So does your local school system
employ this sort of advanced learning? Tony Robbins
I've got to believe would call it, immersion style,
learning, Mari Smith, would call it, immersion
style, learning. Immersion, getting so deeply into
the learning experience, having so much fun doing
it, that, you don't even realize you are learning.

When it comes to getting beyond
the problems that are in our future
about the change from petro based
lifestyle to other based lifestyles,
can we make the transition by actually
taking six months to
develop programs which would
teach the necessary skills to exist
in that world? Someone might,
the question might be, can it be
made to be as much fun as a
Gorilla going after Bananas?

Keep Enjoying Yourself - Having Other Learning Experiences

Yes it's a long title to a chapter- they all are-
that's because they are acronyms to help
the reader remember the process,
this is a process book, but this is important
to you, and here is why, every day someone
that we don't want to do it, commits suicide.

 Suicide has been on the rise,
not the other way around; and,
one of the primary reasons that
people decide to end life is, they
actually have stopped living- at least,
living as you and I might define living.

 Now there are other reasons for this sad
conclusion to life, this isn't a discussion
about euthanasia, we're not going there,
and this isn't to decry laws about this or that,
the suicide rate is pointed out to you
merely to say, life is too precious to let it
conclude on a note like that, wouldn't you agree?

So before we go much into detail about what
a chapter about enjoying yourself having
other leaning experiences might be about-
don't we first need to really consider, are
you?  Enjoying yourself, not in the silly,
narcissistic sense that someone might twist those
words to point to, but in the deep, being alone
but not lonely sense of that?

Many years ago a friend asked me
if I liked being with myself?
I laughed, "of course I do," what was I
supposed to say?  What would you say?  She
went right to the crux of the point, however,
by asking me, "well if you like being by
yourself, then why are you seldom that way?"
The point stopped me for a moment, and
she continued, which is what this video is
about, let me know what you think of it?
