My Ideal Education System for Namibia

My friend Micheal "Mike" Nauta asked me to give him my Ideal education system for Namibia in 2030, I initially thought I had next to nothing to say on the topic but I recalled two excellent posts on home-schooling by Leo Babauta and Penelope Trunk I read a few years back and wondered if it could be adapted to make a nationwide impact, the vision that came  to me was beautiful. It's rather controversial as I am not a proponent of the current traditional "School System" I'll even go as far as to say that the children who follow this path in the future will be left behind but without further adieu here's my thoughts.

It is my dream that in the Future all children will have access to a completely independent school system, where the initial goal will be to expose children to as many things as possible, psychologically identify their personality type with a series of simple questions and then let THEM individually decide what they want to do with their free time as long it's specified and somewhat constructive. It should be a free flowing system where those who want to do Math all day are free to do so, those who prefer to draw and make models of planes all day may do so as well, and so on. There should be no penalties on any decisions made and children should be able to change from what ever they're learning at will, the idea is that all children in Namibia should be able to fuel and follow their curiosity unhindered and independently search for answers. Naturally this will require a nation wide availability of computers/tablets, and most importantly the Internet an excess of instructors would also be benaficial. While this is all rather controversial and can't fully be explained in just one post I feel this will generate an incredible amount of specialised, independent thinkers and innovative entrepreneurs. 

The thought of Namibia being at the forefront of ushering in the new, formless and flexible stage of human education along with the developed countries (who are only now realizing the system is flawed) absolutely excites me. I do think it's possible but it will also require very present parents/guardians, because a child cannot do this level of self discovery alone. This form of education can even be done at home if the child wishes to do so. Exposure to new interest should always be around, be it books, magazines, even word of mouth and if interests are identified early perhaps exposure to people more established in the said industry can be facilitated.

So after a nationwide growth in awareness, maturity and significant financial investment perhaps this dream can be realized and we'll have an incredibly innovative generation, with real world skills instead of more squandered school days in an attempted "One size fit's all" system.

The Power of Now

Hi, life has been great these days it always is and it always should be, my life situation however isn't what most would call appealing though I'm finding it hard to perform well in all my courses. The beauty of this though is that it got me to pick up a book called The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, it was sent to me a while back but I only now managed to churn through it. It fitted seamlessly with my previous spiritual knowledge, but I recommend it to everyone it's a fantastic read and is simply one of those "life enhancing" books and it's not too long winded.
But yes this is probably one of the crappiest periods of my life however it's the happiest I've ever been because I have accepted that time is an imaginary concept there is no past or future all you have is Now, and to jeopardize your awareness of Now for the sake of a future that does not exist is madness, you right now at this very moment have nothing to worry about, think about it what do you possibly have to worry you at this very instant. Reconnect with the stillness that is within you, never spend another moment of your life without a portion of your attention directed within, start living through joy and not obligation. Slowly manifest what YOU want out of your life using this very moment Fuck the Past and most certainly Fuck the future they don't exist wake up! This moment is all you have enjoy and embrace every second of it despite your "situation". What you're going through should be irrelevant to your inner happiness and stillness. Much Love to all of you.

How to become rich.

It's past midnight here in Namibia and I'm up early tomorrow. I have alot to say so I'll do my best to condense my ideas in this post.
Firstly realize that "rich" or "wealth" are subjective terms. You'll need to identify what you personally really want particularly in terms of lifestyle and possessions. Quantify it, make it tangible, there's more than enough to go around. Also realize that however you intend to go about this will take a couple thousand hours maybe more, this is where terms like "do what you love" come into play because it will make the commitment to your goals easier. Instead of simply telling you to "go out there and kick ass at what you love." I suggest you cultivate your passion like it's your child, intuitively chase your interests even if they don't seem to coincide stick with some of them then start connecting the dots, you'll eventually find that you are the only one or one of a few that have your particular set of "skills." "Thanks to neuroplasticity you can be whoever the fuck you want to be." My friend Ivo once told me.
Decide that you want to be rich as well, this is invaluable as it will open you up to opportunities you never noticed before. When you have a genuine and conscious desire to be rich you notice a lot more; market gaps, opportunities to serve, even the right people will start to manifest.

Thanks to books such as The Secret there has been a recent boom in New Age thinking ideals, you probably have the gist of what I'm alluding to. While I do agree with most of the ideas presented in such books, they miss out on one big thing, Contrasting your visualizations, yes without this your visualizations are just unrooted pipe dreams. You can't just deny your current reality you need to visualize exactly what type of life and THEN with joy, consider and accept where you are now and notice the gap then think of something, absolutely anything that gets you even an inch closer to where you want to be and ACT on it. Action produces waves and you need to make waves if you want to make it big my friend, even if it's just cultivating the habits your "rich ideal self" will have, get to it today, if you can't then you really don't want to be rich per say and that's fine, look for your bliss and chase it down relentlessly.

I want to live in New York one day, and continue manifesting the life I desire there because I feel my current purpose in life would be better fulfilled there, however I am an unemployed student so graduating and sharpening my personal skills is what I can and need to accomplish, in order to crawl even closer to the big apple, luck is on my side and it will be for you aswell.
I know that I truly can't really tell you how to be rich based on mine and other's experiences so you'll have to be aware and identify what works for you when you look at the big picture and start distilling your life around those personally identified principles, basically nothing I or anyone else has said on the topic will work until you go out and test it for yourself. What's your Ideal Life what do you think will get you there? All the best to you, make the journey an interesting one.

Life as an Intuitive Feeler. "ENFP"

If I could describe being an ENFP in one sentence, I would have to say "one living, breathing, walking, paradox." Anyone who knows me at all, know's that I live pretty much with my head in the clouds, even when people are interacting with me. It's not because I (or rather we because I know there are those who can relate), but yes it's not because we're not in the present moment, it's because we're being bombarded with soo many little things, maybe even things about you that it's easier to just kind of float away and feel my way through things.
If you feel like we're ignoring what you're saying we're not, we're probably noticing other little things about you and just taking in life because life is pretty grand, just poke us and remind us of your presence in our current reality and you'll find we're actually very engaging, warm and extremely verbose.
We feel uncomfortable in a room full of strangers yet meeting and understanding a stranger makes us happier than most other things can, we'll probably talk about you for the rest of that day and have a little "high" because we seek out and treasure that which is novel, but we still care deeply about all our current and old friends. One day I'm vehemently proclaiming Beethoven as the only thing worth listening to and the next I'm saying Nicki Minaj is an extremely talented and tragically misunderstood artist. I'll say that sex is a precious and deeply meaningful act yet I would probably engage in an orgy if I felt the people present were trustworthy and valued. I take time to deeply think about things but I have no opinion on most pertinent issues in the world unless someone enticed me to read up on it.
So please don't be offended if we're in the clouds again, just bring us back we won't mind and we'll greatly appreciate that you did, just be prepared to be fascinated.

Stop Idealizing. Start Accepting.

"Resist Nothing." That right there is one of the most important phrases in my life, and has become a major influence over how I approach most situations in my life after reading about it on High Existance. Recently however I was hurt because I didn't stick to my own ideals.
I have a friend who for all intents and purposes was just not a good presence in my life but I resisted what I already knew and thought that showing her selfless love was the best course of action, this love I gave her was ultimately used to manipulate me although it probably wasn't on purpose on her part.
This ordeal taught me something though that all love you give to another person that does not emanate from a deeper part of you will ultimately end in pain for either one or both of the parties involved. Stop forcing your love on anyone because it's what you THINK you should do and just accept them for what they are, warts and all. Only then will your love bubble through to the surface and even if it's not a not a great deal of love it's genuine and that's all what anyone really wants and you can give it to anyone and everyone, but only if you're aware enough and willing to accept them for who they (or rather what you think) they are.
Anyways I don't know why this post manifested in YOUR reality, but I'm humbled and grateful that it did. As usual drop me a comment and let me know what you think or email me if you want me to answer your questions and perhaps offer you advice at: madalahamunyela@gmail.com
