Your Conscious Awareness Is A Mere Footprint? Yup...


“Please look at your foot right now…If you look at your foot on the floor you see the tiny amount of the total floor surface that it covers. Imagine that your Conscious Mind can see ONLY what is directly under your feet. This is the “online” information that you have access to consciously. 

Now, please look around at THE REST OF YOUR FLOOR – which is representing the REST of your mind and brain resources beyond just that bit of floor that your foot covered. The rest of the floor represents all of the information within you; all of the “offline” information… 

You can’t do enough of this simple perception. You simply cannot appreciate fully enough what is at stake here; just what an astounding WEALTH of resources we all have here, and have been ignoring.” 
– Paul Scheele of Learning Strategies Corporation in his Genius Code Course with Win Wenger
 
What we are aware of, what we think are the “Facts” of Reality around us; even the “Facts” we believe are limiting us – Is all just the tiny scope of our “radar screen”, while Reality stretches for another 100 feet all around our screen of awareness so to speak... 

What we CAN see normally is just a footprint’s worth of What Is. Our subconscious processes incredibly much more than that: we should move towards tapping into that. And Reality itself is unfathomably MORE than what we perceive and so stridently cling to and declare “that's all there is to it.”

The Higher Purpose of Tradional Education

“What we call “Education” works like this: Information is pumped into the left brain – most of it completely rubbish – and what students are asked to do is to hold that information there, and then when they get an exam paper in front of them to regurgitate that onto the paper.

If they remember it and put it there well enough and repeat what they’ve been told, they pass the exam and progress.

If they take that information in the Left Brain; transfer it to the Right and start filtering it and questioning it, and saying, “Well, does it make sense? What do *I* think about this?” – And then tell the exam paper, “Oh, actually it’s a piece of shhh this stuff.” – Then they don’t pass the exam, and they don’t progress.

The education system is completely built to make left brain prisoners who are basically sponges of the “official version” of life...”
– David Icke

Great knowledge and good people exist within the education system, and much necessary information is conveyed there, yes - but is not *this*, in fact, the model it runs on? Are not "left-brain prisoners" the NORMAL product of, and thus the higher level purpose of how traditional eduction is designed? (Aren't right-brain subjects like Art and Music regularly cut from school curriculums and then downplayed in the workplace?) "The people" must be trained by their "leaders" somehow don't they?
