CHAPTER XI – Education and Training of the Individual

Education on Mars prioritizes spiritual knowledge from an early age, starting within the family. Fundamental lessons revolve around one’s relationship with God and the understanding that life is a journey towards spiritual individualization. This foundational spiritual education is pivotal, allowing Martian children to enter institutional learning with a rich inner understanding of existence.

Martian education diverges significantly from Earth’s. Rather than direct teaching, it emphasizes uncovering what is already within the soul. This individualized approach respects each student’s innate mastery in certain thought or activity areas. Teachers act as guides, aiding in the discovery and alignment with universal laws, like those governing music, astronomy, physics, and notably, the profound understanding of electricity—a field in which Martians believe Earth’s knowledge remains superficial.

Martians value the harmony of music and have a keen ability to perceive various vibrations, enriching their spiritual and educational journey. Discipline in schools is unnecessary due to a shared goal of expressing the divine within, fostering a life of abundance. Studies focus on engaging students with the law of God’s universe, urging them from cause to effect, in contrast to Earth’s methods.

Advanced studies involve astronomy, where the clarity of Mars’ atmosphere offers superior celestial observations, aiding in learning about the cosmos’s immutable laws. Mars boasts unique moons and planets that provide exceptional educational opportunities not available on Earth.

Physics on Mars explores the release of interatomic energy, a concept only theoretical on Earth and tied to the sun’s undiminishing energy. Martians caution that such power requires a high moral understanding before safe utilization. They hint at a future where Earth will discover more elements, including one that negates gravity, which has revolutionized Martian travel through buoyant, non-gravitational transportation methods.

This holistic and spiritually grounded educational system emphasizes understanding and harmony with the universal laws, preparing Martians for advanced technological and scientific achievements while ensuring these advancements serve a greater good.
