Ramon Gallegos Nava and holistic education that humanity needs


The education that humanity needs is the holistic education of Ramon Gallegos. A new education that allows it to evolve to higher levels of thought and integrity, thus require a paradigm shift, a new way of looking at education completely new about the human need for an evolutionary change, vertical transformation of achieve a holistic view of education according to their level of consciousness, since according to this, the vision for education. Ramon Gallegos as expressed in this book that mankind needs education, that education is one thing as another world of life and the educational system that is systemic, the latter is the main obstacle to achieving a high level view, holistic and spiritual education for the XXI century.

This paper aims to introduce the field of holistic education is the proposal to reconstruct the typical schools of the twentieth century in dynamic organizations, alive, open, cross-disciplinary and as spiritual spaces for spiritual self-realization of each of its members. This test was developed based on three books, "The education that humanity needs", "Education for Life and Peace" and "learning communities" of Ramon Gallegos.

Holistic education is education for life, which aims to help students develop the ability to love the world, plants, animals, etc.. Integral Education is an answer for humanity to develop in all aspects but especially in spirituality since this is the basis of awakening to reality.

Holistic education requires external action must be an expression of inner life, referring to the new paradigm of holistic education that should lead to a change, a revolution of consciousness with a meaning and universal love, a transformation.

Our current problem is human, that is a problem of evolution of consciousness and we must be prepared to fully understand the world we inhabit and to understand ourselves. Education makes us mechanistic robotic beings and only see the academic and not see beyond. You can not have a holistic or comprehensive mechanistic professors. With this education is preparing students mechanistic to work but not to live life.

The distinction between the mission of traditional mechanistic educator and Holistic Educator is based on a potential student, while another is rigid, mechanistic and closed. The real difference in a holistic and mechanistic level is the awareness of educators. Raising the level of consciousness implies a change in how we view the world and ourselves and involves especially finish with ideas and false beliefs. The evolution of consciousness is a process of liberation from ignorance of our own nature.

Holistic Education is a big difference between not knowing and ignoring are two different things, not knowing is the right spot to learn, lack of self-ignorance is therefore a great scholar can be an ignoramus.

The main problem now is a misunderstanding and an internal disorder of the consciousness of human beings. Holistic teachers always leave a deep imprint of education and welfare in us, they have spiritual intelligence are comprehensive, acting with ethics and show their happiness and joy

Holistic education is liberating dogmas, myths and prejudices, enables universal love. Holistic Education intelligence and love are totally linked. Holistic education has no specific method, and that all students learn differently. The best attitude to learn is completely open, with love and humility, in an infinite aprendizaje.Actualmente hear much talk about new educational proposals as alternatives for change for a better education, however, although at first glance seem interesting a more careful investigation will show that remain within the logic of scientism, reductionism and superficiality.

As an alternative to this fragmented view has set the model of transdisciplinarity. Transdisciplinarity is different from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary.

Transdisciplinarity means the integration of human knowledge, science, art, traditions, arts, philosophy and spirituality, this diversity is the foundation of the unity of knowledge. The transdisciplinary model is part of holistic education and is the basis for the construction of Holistic Curriculum

At the core of the movement of new paradigms that are impacting the world today is the holistic view of life, in this view the natural world is an extension of ourselves, science and religion complement rather than contradict, the spiritual experience is valid, the universe is a living world, not a great machine, is universal awareness, education is an act of discovery, the order exists as beauty, harmony and love.

The most important thing then is to create this holistic view of ourselves, rather than build explanatory theories that arise purely intellectual thought and memory is a fragmented view of reality, and can not go to the root of the human problem. What prevents us from having this vision of life?, I think, says Ramon Gallegos, what's stopping us is the conditioning, we are prisoners of ideas that have taken the liberty to perceive the world in full.

Today we pass through a new educational paradigm to ensure the viability of our community. Students are not machines, empty containers or raw material that needs to be processed. They are alive and growing people who have their own knowledge and the need to find their own meanings. Holistic education is the kind of education they need in order to properly address the dilemmas of the twenty-first century: This student education is perceived differently. "The school is no longer a factory to become a learning community."

Learning communities are aimed at developing human communities through comprehensive lifelong learning for all, promotes a culture of peace, global ethics and sustainable development.

Holistic education is above all a state of consciousness, a holistic view of life, a call to live in universal love, a compassionate attitude, an open inclusive of diversity. This general essence of holistic education is consistent with the statement that does not really have a unique method which use does not have a particular format which applies indiscriminately at all times, everywhere and at all kinds of students, but the lack of a unique method should not be seen as a lack but as a quality holistic education, has a unique method because the best method simply does not exist and not exist because in education as in any other human experience irregularity exists, diversity and particularity, no method is applicable to all situations because there is diversity in learning styles and irregularity of the whole educational reality.

Holistic education acknowledges the multiple dimensions of human being: physical, intellectual, aesthetic, emotional and spiritual, and so walk to the perennial ideal of an individual living on a planet full harmonious. For all these reasons, today we pass through a new educational paradigm to ensure the viability of our community: why?, Because today we are witnessing the transition of humanity over nature to mankind through nature, industrial society to a sustainable society.

Then the transformation to conscious capitalism is based on: spirituality in business, work spirit, the consumer-driven values, reverse power, green building, organic foods, the wave of conscious solutions, the boom in socially responsible investing, money and moral, ethical, earth, employees, consumers consciously worldly power without self-control is the bane of leadership, spiritual practice.

The ideas are not a replacement high success, in conclusion: "we ourselves have the power to cure capitalism," "capitalism has the power to change the world", is not it time to start?, Really: you have to create first a performance ethic, through financial education, proposed by Dr. Ramon Gallegos, in his book on education that humanity needs. Holistic Education rarely been explored with a combination of caring and deep, with an inherent power to truly educate all in the holistic education.

Finally Ramon Gallegos said that the business world is also an area for spiritual practice, business and spirituality can be supplemented at a level of thought meme second degree or yellow.

Any honest human action is a way to spiritual realization, holistic education works with all aspects of human beings to achieve a harmonious development, the evolution of consciousness is the goal of universal love teaching. For this reason also says Dr. Ramon Gallegos Nava Holistic Educators must promote financial education for all, this practice will be beneficial and help out of poverty for millions of people through the responsible use and care of personal finance or professionals. With all this helps to transform and / or switch to unbridled capitalism.

Financial education in a holistic context is a wonderful field of study because it allows us to bring our educational practice business area, we can even match business training with spiritual formation, both of which require a high level of discipline, understanding of reality , organization, responsibility, self-confidence, and so on.

Spirituality is driving business to a new stage of development, a stage based on ethics and compassion, is emerging a new business philosophy that sees the market as an opportunity to help the evolution of humanity through the generation of goods and services that develop awareness and make life more dignified. Integrates the objectives of the entrepreneur and the mystic in compassionate action.

Holistic education is education that humanity needs, your goal is for students to develop the capacity to love the world, plants, animals, etc.. Integral Education is an answer for humanity to develop in all aspects but especially in spirituality since this is the basis of awakening to reality.

Holistic education requires external action must be an expression of inner life, referring to the new paradigm of holistic education that should lead to a change, a revolution of consciousness with a meaning and universal love, a transformation.

Our current problem is human is a problem of evolution of consciousness and we must be prepared to fully understand the world we inhabit and to understand ourselves.

Students are not machines, empty containers or raw material that needs to be processed. They are alive and growing people who have their own knowledge and the need to find their own meanings.

Transdisciplinarity is the only thing that allows us to consider the student as a multidimensional being. This works with students in six aspects:

These are a Holistic Educator and is essentially a spiritual awakening, this awakening to your true spiritual nature is the heart of your training as a Holistic Educator.

Holistic education is above all a state of consciousness, a holistic view of life, a call to live in universal love, a compassionate attitude, an open inclusive of diversity.

In this paper summarizes each of the themes of the book "Learning Communities", "Education for life and peace" and "The mankind needs education" about what we've seen on the expertise and provide very valuable. I also found it very interesting because they show us as found in the understanding of the awakening of consciousness and holistic education.

Here Ramon Gallegos realizes that when knowledge comes from a holistic view is called wisdom, implies responsible use of it, implies a relevant use will not cause harm, but if that knowledge comes from a perception of fragmentation can be used with different destructive purposes.

It is an ethical intelligence that leads you to feel the importance of integrity, gratitude, it will be an honest person.

Spiritual intelligence, intelligence is integrated, superior and last, enables us to transcend and reach self-realization. It is the ability to be sensitive to be a better being. The ability to be happy despite the circumstances. Clearing that:

Ramon Gallegos tells us that the concept of spiritual intelligence is not connected with any religion or church, is a constant in human history that transcends organized religion. Does not refer to faith or beliefs. It is the power to control and happiness. It is the key to lead your life well, putting you in charge of what you think, feel and do, your virtues. Ability to decide how to respond to life events so that we can be happy despite the circumstances and not because of them.
