On Teaching and Relationships
An Introduction
Economics, and Politics
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
---------------------------
Our wishes are not just idle day-dreams. Our wishes are an expression of our innermost predilection - a predilection which it is perfectly possible to fulfill, provided we use our knowledge wisely.
---------------------------
We make of our lives what we will.
---------------------------
Life is not your social conditioning, and neither are you your behaviour.
---------------------------
If you wish to change you must cast off your self-image.
---------------------------
To relate to ourselves, to others, or to the world, we need to be aware. To relate implies understanding.
---------------------------
Take responsibility for having this person in your life.
---------------------------
Don't treat the other person in your life any differently than you would a stranger.
---------------------------
Accept yourself for who and what you are.
---------------------------
Always look for the positive; focus on the positive.
---------------------------
Acknowledge gender according to its proper potential.
---------------------------
Compress time.
---------------------------
Believe in yourself and in others.
---------------------------
Make allowances for the differences between males and females.
---------------------------
Laugh! Life is fun!
---------------------------
Be real. Make yourself and others real.
---------------------------
The cornerstone of true love is intelligent co-operation.
---------------------------
Ruthlessness and unconditional love are synonymous.
---------------------------
Actions speak louder than words.
---------------------------
All of life is a system of games. Some games just require more carefully defined rules than others.

The Challenges of Being Someone's Child and Being a Parent
True learning, true education takes place all the time, everywhere.
Life doesn't happen only at school. Life happens all the time.
We need academic schooling in order to establish a career, but life is infinitely more than merely holding down a job.
Nowhere in our academic schooling are we taught...
- what it means to be a child
- what it means to be a parent
- what the purpose of having parents is
- how we are bonded to our parents, our children, and if we share children, our spouse and/or ex-spouses - for life!
In our opinion the biggest challenge on this planet is raising a child - or someone else's!
"Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness is ever imposed in the interests of the children". ~ Bernard Shaw
This course is for anyone who has ever been a child!
- Do you want to start understanding the full impact of your childhood?
- Do you want to move forward from your childhood patterns and get on with your life now - instead of constantly being tripped up by the re-actions you invented to survive as a child?
- Do you want to ensure you do not repeat the patterns of behaviour of your parents - and their parents before them?
- Do you want to ensure you do not pass on your shortcomings to your children?
This is a relationships course, and therefore, if you are a parent, we do not propose to tell you how to raise your children, but we do show you how to relate to your children successfully and happily, how to avoid pitfalls, and how to correct mistakes of the past.
In this forum we guide you towards rediscovering the forgotten child which lurks within us all, and through this enable you to see the world once again from the child's perspective.
Every child has an openness of mind, and a stark frankness of honesty which is not only endearing, but also utterly revitalising and motivating. Yet being so stuck in what are quite often the petty problems of the adult world, we rarely, if ever, come in touch with the child's sense of fun, spontaneous humour, and natural love for all life. It is therefore no wonder that we all too often shout and scream at our children, instead of appreciating and enjoying the wondrous gifts they bring us.
On this course we will show you:
- What a child actually is.
- How we pass on behavior from one generation to the next.
- The various stages in a child's development, from conception to young adulthood, and how best to handle these.
- The role of both parents, from before birth through to adolescence.
- How to deal with behavior and issues involving discipline.
- How to prepare your child for school, and how to encourage good academic performance.
- How to enjoy your children and how to win their trust and respect.
Our courses assume no prior knowledge or particular standard of education. We start with the basic principles and we move forward from there, always remembering that we need a firm foundation to succeed.

If one looks beyond the face value of the violence and chaos that is occurring all over the world today, it becomes clear to see that the real motivating force is man's inherent, albeit mostly unconscious, drive towards seeking harmony through conflict...
