Vision of The One Academy
The one Academy is focused on envisioning the future of education which includes contemplative learning of unity in diversity.
Learning is a three step process that begins with a cognitive process of listening, sight, taste, touch and smell. The second step is reflection where we recall, review and relearn the content of the first step. These steps are adequate for survival.
But they are not enough for survival in health and harmony. Our organs of cognition can only perceive well defined objects. Thus, learning resulting from them is concrete, definitive and divisive. Though true, it does not tell the whole truth which is accessible only in the next step of deep contemplation.
The defining characteristic of the contemplative step is its state of mind with little or no random recollections. When such a mind recalls the object of learning in the first two steps, the object reveals its whole truth. This learning is holistic. It unites while that of the first two steps can only divide.
The One Academy is focused on (1) contemplative practices to eliminate random movements of the mind and to develop one pointed attention, (2) the summit of the truths learnt by the contemplative explorers of the world, and (3) the unifying, self-regulative and transformative power of contemplative epistemology and pedagogy.
Education can change cultures. We are looking forward to your participation and contributions on contemplative education to make the vision of one planetary family of the wise a worldwide reality.
