Weekly Topic: Schools
We have all heard the famous saying that we live in prison. Our bodies/mind is our own prison. We all look for freedom in someway or the other.
One can get out, but not by oneself. Without school one cannot. School means That there are people who are already escaping, or, at any rate, are preparing to escape. School cannot begin without help from another school without help from those who have escaped before. From them we can get certain ideas, a certain plan, a certain knowledge – these are our tools. — Peter Ouspensky, The Fourth Way
The point of contact between higher forces and humanity. In a school, students have the possibility of existing in higher states of awareness, such as self remembering, through contact with a conscious teacher, and of working under his direction. — Sergio Antonio, A question of Presence
Come, my companions, prepare for the dance in the other world." — Rumi
