Think beyond your education

The current thinking cemented via most educational systems of the world and most professional circles keeps the mind small, moving from #emergency to emergency, unaware of our true creative potential as human beings.
A few simple examples:
Modeling a human being as a machine made of small parts and believing this is advanced #science (healthcare)
Modeling an entire economic system on the basis of scarcity
Teaching #mathematics mostly in terms of finite numbers rather that infinities and possibilities
Teaching mind-binding notions of 3D space and linear time
Casting governments and nations as properly working in self-interest as opposed to #collaboration and planetary interest
Inventing a separate discipline called #spirituality and cleaving it off from what we call science, thereby ensuring the continued infancy of science
Believing there is a "#mindbody problem," and there are two such things as mind and body
Casting #mythology as purely fictional
Believing we are an advanced civilization when homelessness, #poverty, war, pollution, eco-destruction, and waste are standardized and largely ignored
Believing we are more advanced that civilizations that came before us on this planet
Refusing to intelligently discuss #extraterrestrial life
Teaching us that authorities who do not research #healing and human potential are the ones who know the most about #health
Most people don't realize that many of the problems people come to the ER for are downstream effects of this widespread miseducation and #professional distraction. Without addressing these factors, there can be no true health for individuals, populations, or the planet.
If you are a #doctor, speak about health in the most comprehensive, deepest way, then tie it in to the individual steps a person and community can take.
If you are an #economist, speak about #economics in the most comprehensive, deepest way, then tie it in to the individual steps a person and community can take.
If you are a ____, speak about ____ ... (you get the idea)
Time is short. Learn and act.
