<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your spirit serene</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Having experienced it, day after day</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">From the very inception of my life</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Through maturity, to no end!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Love and compassion</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You did emanate</span><br />

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In body, speech, and thought</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">From dawn to dusk</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Touching the children you bore...</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not forgetting your grandchildren, of course...</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While never discounting all children</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Who crossed your path!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">That was the caliber</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You reached out to children on earth</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">with equal love and attention</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Such was the hallmark of your life's tenor!</span><br />

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my faithful mentor, </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">By life-habit and example</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my unmatched confidant </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In happiness and in distress</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my nourisher and nurturer, </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">In body, mind, and spirit, mortal</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my doctor, as well as my nurse, </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Around the clock⎯with love, unconditional</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my daily breath</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of sweet affection, incomparable</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">You were my life-model, by disposition,</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of glowing beauty, simplicity</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">And charismatic splendor!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Above all, you were my terrestrial goddess then, </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">and celestial goddess now, and forever! </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mother, you are unforgettable!</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I feel so very blessed</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Having been your only daughter</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Besides two precious sons...</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">When we celebrated MOTHER'S DAY</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Through each and every passing day</span><br />

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">May every child on earth</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Grow to revere the thought of 'MOTHER'</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She is the greatest TREASURE</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Unsurpassed by any other</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She is the SYMBOL</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of LOVE, eternal</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">She is the sole INCUBATOR</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Of growth and advancement</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">By affection, warmth, and endearment </span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Trapped within the walls of compartmentalized thought word and deed, egotistic minds interactively share a dream-like projection </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of their psychophysical vibrations as 'name, form, and being'; they wander along meandering and ever-intersecting 'space and time', being continually tested by the conditionings propelled by their own volitional accumulations; diverse shades of intermingling confused mentality perpetuate an ever-heaving, evolving consciousness, bringing to bear the vast scheme of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">relativity—encompassing</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the coarsest through the subtlest tiers of existence</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">through interdependence and interpenetration</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. </span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Beguiled under the influence of an ego soul that cherishes the image of a self that is divisive, by nature, the dim-witted travel in time and space. Hence, the surreal experience of 'vitality or presence' as 'wholeness' in 'the here' and 'the now' is overlooked, in the midst of being held captive between two unrealities—the myth (of the past) and the mystery (of the future). The causation of evil sensory outflowings—as opposed to non-outflowing good</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is the general tendency of the ego driven mentality. The deeper we are entrenched in infatuation with the self, the more divisive our propensities shall tend to be.</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">While we experience a sensory body of divisive dualistic perception rooted in the misconception of 'a self', we must unfortunately succumb to our habit energies stored, maintained, and preserved—as memory—in the archive of subconsciousness.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Blinded by the darkness of our fundamental state of human ignorance—grounded in discrimination, differentiation, and dichotomization, our sensory realities are based upon erroneous views. Their very existence is like seeing shadows in the water</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—upon which we react hopelessly!</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The lack of recognition that the supreme principle of REALITY is the indivisible state of UNITY, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">SIMPLICITY, and ONENESS—</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">just as space, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">water, or air </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that are indivisible</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is the reason as to why </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the ignorant is continually held captive, vacillating between two opposite natures, called subjectivity (as past), and objectivity (as future).</span></span></div>

</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, we are witnesses to a whirlpool of confused attitudes and reactions to external stimuli. We search all over in the world of externality for answers, giving little or no consideration to the intuitive dimension of the mind where mystery and magnanimity abides. Let us aspire to pierce the veils of dense and divisive ignorance so we may reach the depths of consciousness where matter dissipates, and the bliss of NOBLE WISDOM MIND alone shall prevail—transcending convoluted divisions, distinctions, and differentiations. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">TRUTH and MEANING is within our reach if, and when, we harness the invincible power of contemplative mindfulness that awaits its cultivation. Regrettably, all other ways and means in search of peace are ego-elevating and ego-gratifying camouflages in the name of goodwill and progress; they are none other than being deterrents to overall advancement while they invariably display and demonstrate our human failures and short sightedness!</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the eyes of WISDOM, thought and expression </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">with respect to 'name and form'</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—in terms of utterance and logical reasoning—remain in mutual causation in the grand scheme of relativity. It is a time-tested realization, that words or logical reasoning grounded in divisive attention compromise the TRUTH. </span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In an ultimate sense, </span><span style="color: #fff2cc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">PEACE rests within the mind uncolored by differentiations of body speech and thought. World order and peace is attainable solely by means of a cultivated and balanced attitude from within, but not from without! Let us be reminded, our human experience, called WORLD, remains in direct relation to our state of mind.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today, we live in a confused human world filled with anger, aggression, hate, enmity, and many more shades and intensities of temperamental darkness. There has been a surge of sad events in our nation that boasts overall civility in comparison with the rest of the world, but seemingly falls short at the root of rationality. Day in and day out, we wake up to the confused reality of inhuman and savage forms of conduct triggered by seething vexation. This is a very disheartening and demoralizing state of affairs that we, together, are burdened with, today. </span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We, are one humanity and one family of sentience indivisibly and inseparably linked by the ever-present breath of LOVE. We share the same flesh, blood, bone, and marrow transcending all illusory discriminations of thought as mental constructs. We surf the waves of life and death in the ocean of eternity; we all wish for happiness regardless of toxic egocentric attitudes and pursuits. It takes a thoughtful shift in our attention, however, to understand the core of our being that lies beyond the multiplicity and diversity of appearances, names, and discriminations. ALTRUISTIC COMPASSION is its character. It is the mirror essence of LOVE; it is untainted and unruffled by all waves of thought. PEACE is its glorious vesture and it is within our reach when we get past our confused mental chatter. </span></div>

Those of us who are prisoners of our own emotions fanned by the flames of egocentricity and reckless human advocacy will regrettably remain trapped, drained, and drowned in the swamp of dubious and misguided conceptions. While this is the case, weeds alone shall propagate. The only way we may get our bearings together is to be very enthusiastically engaged peace activists in and around our immediate and extended family settings<span style="font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">—</span>the grassroots of social organization and revitalization. Needless to say, t</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">he flowers and fruits of our efforts—by way of body, speech, and mind</span><span style="color: #ead1dc;">—may only bring forth their natural consequences assuring us with the promise of non-harm and PEACE!</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am inspired by the words of ASHA DELIVERANCE who transformed her tears of unbearable maternal pain to the joy of indestructible altruistic LOVE. I am equally impressed by the most gracious and noble sentiments expressed by Richard Collin's parents in the wake of their son's unprecedented death at the University of Maryland.</span><br />
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I often question as to why human beings stoop so low to commit atrocities only to demonstrate that they are emotionally impoverished. Many of them show no signs of repentance and it is a gravely disturbing picture. They, most obviously, need help because they are the products of their own conditioning—where the weight primarily rests upon the parents and immediate family who continually and collectively etch the behavioral code of the future. Innocent bystanders, as well as heroic men and women, intersect with these confused predators at inopportune moments, bringing grief to on-lookers who are imbued with traits of selfless love. </span></div>

<span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let your child understand that he/she is an indispensable microcosmic wheel of energy inextricably interconnected and interpenetrated with the vastness of the universal spectrum. The recognition that, 'he/she is the universe' and 'the universe—in all of its magnanimity</span><span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">—</span><span style="color: #ead1dc; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is in him/her' is the stepping stone to higher realization. Every wave of intention and action exerts its unfailing imprints of energy in the ocean of consciousness. Our purities and defilements play out in counteractive momentum just like the microbial interactivity that takes place so involuntarily within the organism, called body. We, alone shape our world by our thoughts and actions. Please communicate ideas with sound reasoning and raise your child upon the edifice of wisdom! LOVE alone endures, anything contrary to this pristine nature brings about catabolic effects all the way around.</span></div>

<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Dear Mark and Priscilla and ALL Parents who Live to Make a Difference in the World,</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">I am an ardent user of Facebook to spread the seeds of LOVE at all times, whenever possible! Thank you, for this great opportunity via social media to connect with the world, so that people may exercise good judgment to exert their talents uniquely in order to make a healthy difference in humanity.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">My lifetime, in particular, has been dedicated to the cause of inspiring children and parents of the world—awakening them to the fundamental truth of compassion upon which all ideals for learning must be grounded. Thanks, with all of my love and gratitude, to my own parents who lived to epitomize superior moral values. As pioneering influences in the field of Montessori, they grounded me in its 'compassion based' philosophy (and psychology) that embraces ‘living to learn’—propped upon the twin virtues of unconditional respect and responsibility towards all things that compose the fabric of LIFE.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Since each and every one of you (naturally aspiring to be very eager young informed parents) stand on a very powerful platform to help shape our world, I ask for your kind advocacy to extend your altruistic heart—raising awareness in humanity about the cultivation and application of the pivotal virtues of kindness, humility, and respect—powered by inclusiveness. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">That said, together, may you lead this world to prevent undue pain and suffering upon all beings of sentience—to include the beautiful, yet, helpless and hopeless creatures that graze our planet Earth's lush and beautiful habitats. May these habitats, in turn, remain protected—undisturbed and unsullied by human exploitation, infiltration, intervention, and destruction—so that their flora and fauna may carry out nature's intended higher purpose for the preservation of all species and our greater environment, THE PLANET EARTH!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">I am particularly saddened by the fact that the children of this nation and the world have little or no guidance in this regard—in contemplation of the stark reality that our civilized world continues to be set back by the values of instinctual human conditioning. Today’s children, to say the least, are the unfortunate heirs and beneficiaries to the poor choices of their elders who often remain selfishly motivated to harm and endanger beautiful creatures and their natural environment—in the name of sportsmanship, or otherwise. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">As human parents, bestowed with emotional depth and 'a conscience', may you reflect upon the selfless nature of LOVE that embraces all of life, transcending conceptual demarcations. All creatures, besides humans, feel pain as much as we do; they deserve a chance to live as much as we do. Our spiritual human ascent, as well as endowment, rests unequivocally upon our capacity to practice and realize the principle of COMPASSION that permeates all aspects of life.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">In observation of the wisdom that speaks thus, ‘you know the character of a human being by the way he/she treats animals’, I make this plea to you, to become the greatest advocates, especially, in service to the children of the earth. To protect the innocence of all children—by never exposing and de-sensitizing them to the cruelty inflicted upon animals—especially, in their most formative years of life, is to save the world from undue misery! Every little drop of LOVE by which we may touch the ocean of human potential, the further we shall advance towards its healthy transformation.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;">Altruistic compassion from our very ground of being is the time-tested TRUTH to a better world filled with PEACE and LOVE! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #d9ead3;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">

From this vantage point, it is reasonable to say that entire societies have the potential to be transformed 'little by little', if and when the inner world has been discerned and looked upon with deep respect.

Needless to say, my citizenship has been systematically asserted and impacted through all of these channels. However, I have come to recognize the indispensable nature and powerful potential of my individual agency within the collective, and vice versa. It takes duty pivoted upon a deep sense of respect and responsibility to help sustain each cause, along its process of realization. I continue to give thanks to this ever-compounding and expanding world of influences through all times - both peaceful and troubled!</span></div>

<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our human experience is a sea of incessantly intermingling vibrations - a process beyond our mortal speculation and control.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We can only gain hope - through the exercise of good judgment grounded upon the edifice of morality alone - that the great drama of energy shall bring forth the patterns and processes aligned with, and propelled infinitely by our collective, cumulative, and dominant thoughts, words, and deeds. The inconvenient truth is the fact th<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">at we are not in a position to fathom what lies beneath the seeming victories and defeats in life. </span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">
<span style="color: #cfe2f3; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
However, let us always keep in mind that the universal sublime principles of purity and defilement are mysteriously at counteractive interplay - bringing to bear the manifestations that surpass the human capacity to understand. Our rejoicings and sorrows are varying by nature - in relation to the degree of our conceptual attachments - both individually and collectively. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Be that as it may, we are in this quagmire together having a very personal experience within the universal scene. Our sense of freedom, though, calls to uphold the middle ground of inner and outer balance so that we become the faithful spectators of all that come to pass so spontaneously.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Above and beyond all colorations of divisive thought, word, and deed, the transcendent TRUTH OF COMPASSION reigns in the universe healing humanity in myriad perplexing ways. Therefore, let not our negative emotions dampen our attitudes. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
Every dark cloud has a silver lining. Just be patient!</div>

<div style="display: block; font-weight: normal; margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">The 'self' is born of ignorance - rooted in false imagination, discriminations, and confused projections.</span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-weight: normal;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">The 'self' - a modulation of awareness subject to changing perspectives - is the very basis of experience that manifests its dualistic world as 'subject and object'.</span></div>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The ‘self’ travels along a jagged path in space and time - a projection of falsity and erroneous perception; its provisional being - just as a mirage - casts a seeming sense of solidity and permanence.</div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The 'self' looked upon as personality, essentially, is the conglomeration of five aggregate psychophysical energies - remaining in interactive flux; they are none other than form, feeling, perception, volition/cognition, and consciousness.</div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Confusion is the ever-looming reality of ‘self’; its quality of perception is determined by the degree of delusion that exists ‘within’.</div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
The world of experience is thus a confused projection of ever-compounding and evolving mental activity.</div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
Conclusively speaking, the state of the world of experience is the state of the union of five aggregate psychophysical energies, as aforementioned - form, feeling, perception, cognition/volition and overall evolving consciousness.</div>
<div style="margin: 6px 0px; text-align: justify;">
<br />
From an introspective perspective, inner sanctity is the progenitor of outward balance; its cultivation is pivotal towards the establishment of a better world</div>

Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life. </span></i></b><br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Parenthood is a uniquely bestowed blessing to be cherished with gratitude in our human condition. Unequivocally, it is every child's birthright to feel loved and nurtured, unconditionally, by the parent. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A child neglected (when his developmental needs and tendencies - manifested uniquely as sensitivities - have been overlooked) means, to find a precious whole 'being' unfolding with ever-compounding scar-tissues of experience. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The ripple effects of such parental ignorance, negligence, and irresponsibility have only proven - across time and space - to bring forth the inevitable, irreparable consequences of human conditioning, for generations into the future.</span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Parents are the pace-setters of advancement, and deviation from advancement - exercised in counteractive momentum. The resolute application of mindfulness in parenting is thus pivotal towards sustaining the well-being of the child - along the process of nurturing his body, mind, and intellect. Most candidly said, every being on earth today is, wholly and naturally, a product fashioned by formative life-experience. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is, therefore, in the best interest of the parent, child, and the world in turn, to re-examine the choices we make, as parents - the foremost mentors of humanity. While the idea of compassion is reflected in our dialogues, it is never without its colorations - from darkness to brilliance - in accordance with the varied levels of understanding and interpretation. I continue to question, why compassion - as practiced today - is mostly observed in the best interest of 'the subject of perception' - as opposed to both 'the subject and the object of perception' that completes the round of consciousness. </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To elucidate this further, when we aim harm upon another, in whatever form it takes, there is an absence of compassion while we tenaciously defend our position, in denial - influenced by the idea of 'a cosmic creation' to serve a human interest. Thus, with a seeming sense of righteousness, we continue to make the case that we live in compassion, and interestingly enough, there are more people to assert this position, despite the fact that this so-called compassion is one-sided, and therefore, adulterated! </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sadly, it seems, that the beautiful creatures that graze the earth are overlooked from this human-centered dualistic perspective of compassion. How compassionate is the person who takes the life of a beautiful creature that wishes for its own happiness - such as a quail or a dear, for instance - in the great scheme of loving kindness and compassion? What is the example we set in the eyes of our children, or for that matter for our grandchildren, when we are split-visioned in our thinking? The message of a double standard is very evident; as long as it feeds our selfish human sentiments, it seems it really does not matter! </span><br />
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Compassion is the all-transcending, unwavering wisdom of the universe; it surpasses the mortal intellect that is blinded by selfish ignorance. It is not about coveted credentials and education, or blind praise vested upon the laurels of fame, name, and glory, that brings out the best of our human potential. It is solely the cultivated ability to see beyond self-serving interests within one's innermost seat of consciousness . </span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="display: inline; margin-top: 6px;">
</div>
<span style="color: #b6d7a8;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">All in all, it must never be discounted that the principle of impartiality and accountability - with regard to our actions, in terms of body, speech, and mind - reigns in our morally ordered universe. Our children deserve to be grounded in this knowledge - by way of life-experience - if we wish to make a healthy difference in our world. Our state of being in life, death, and beyond, is a direct consequence of our own accumulations of merit or otherwise, not affirmed by humans, but asserted by the sublime force of 'equality and reciprocity' alone!</span></div>

<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">This is my personal reflection as an activist for change in the practice of Montessori.</b></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, Montessori is a spectrum of practices<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>named in accordance with its interpreters, interpretations, and implementors. However, Montessori was founded by Dr Maria Montessori upon holistically balanced, compassionately grounded, 'living to learn' ideals. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dr Montessori understood the cosmic scheme of interconnectedness underpinned by moral principles. She saw that everything exists to serve two concomitant purposes<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>directly and indirectly<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>in that of serving the direct purpose of survival, and the indirect purpose of cooperating to sustain the totality of ever-evolving 'life and being'.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She clearly understood the evolutionary principles in relation to inorganic matter<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>governed by the conditioned interactions of substances, and organic matter<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>subjected to processes of natural selection. Above all, she saw the advent of man empowered with the potential to surpass his inherent instinctual tendencies. Yes, this unique being endowed with an upright and adaptable physique along with a psyche powered by volition, reason, and imagination was looked upon as the determinant of unfolding human time operating in tandem with nature's sublime moral principles of 'equality and reciprocity'.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is my conviction through my personal life-experience<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>from<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> the very inception of my life </span><b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>in the treasured company of my mother (inspired and trained under Dr. Maria Montessori in 1944), that this educational model was founded based upon a crystallized vision of our intended human purpose, within the vast cosmic scheme of interrelatedness. This purpose is, however, centered upon the notion that the human being, by potential, stands above all other earthly forms of sentience for the simple reason that it is 'a spiritual being' endowed with the capacity to transform or sublimate its instinctual tendencies.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Today, I am deeply concerned about modern day Montessori practices<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>under the leadership of supposed pedagogues<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>whose lives may have been colored by the interpretations and diffusions of their own personal conditionings. Alternatively, these practices may be the outcroppings influenced by a consensus of confused idealists who missed the most basic premise upon which Montessori was founded. Whatever the case might be, under these diluted and deluded practices, so called 'farm school models for adolescents' continue to foster the primitive instinctual tendencies in children<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>in the name of 'organic farming' which I apprehend as an adulteration of what Dr Maria Montessori described and intended it to be.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 16px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is truly disheartening that children in these farm school models learn only to nurture their selfish human traits in fulfillment of basic needs<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>as opposed to embracing the higher element of human spirituality<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>while overlooking the precious nature of another life wishing for its own happiness. This, I believe, is a deception of Dr. Montessori's point of perspective and a disingenuous path, overall, in misleading uninformed citizens who venture to understand Montessori, at its best.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">I have come to learn that this farm school model seeks to immerse children in the reality of practical life experiences within a network of sociocultural commercial organization. In my opinion, practical life-experience must be grounded upon compassionate moral principles that are inclusive and altruistic wishing happiness for every form of sentience. It must take into consideration the developed earthly conditions of this day and age<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b> </span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">abundant with a multitude of choices for the exercise of the human free will</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>quite contrary to the primitive earthly conditions that prevailed long ago, justifying the need for hunters and food gatherers. </span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">The unfolding story of LIFE, needless to say, exemplifies the </span><span style="color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">characteristics and conditions for human civilization through evolutionary time<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>unravelling our existential potential from the coarse, gross, physical to the spiritual ascent of man. In consideration of the aforementioned, why on earth should there be a necessity to revert to our centripetal tendencies?</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">In a civilized world of relationships, when choices are innumerable, to reiterate, it is beyond my level of higher consciousness as to why today's Montessori advocates learning by practical life experience<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>engaging adolescents in morally eroding and degrading contrived processes of learning. Under this scheme of staying abreast of a relational world, animals are raised<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>masked by the misconstrued notion of caring for them<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>influenced by selfish motives, of course! They are slaughtered for food and brought to the tabletop under the expression of 'cultivating self-sufficiency', while claiming to gain an understanding in regard to other intersecting facets of learning<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>to include trade and commerce.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">However,</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"> this course of advocacy in learning is not in alignment with the hard core principles of PEACE and NON-VIOLENCE in Montessori while it only continues to inflict harm upon helpless creatures<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>diminishing the precious nature of these living beings and their right 'to live', as much as we do! T</span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">here is obviously a systematic desensitization of the human sentiment through the cultivation of this type of utter selfishness<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>when, in fact, the relational world may be equally well understood by means of practical life activities that revolve around organic farming, centered upon the plant world.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">It is my personal conviction that the moral principles genuinely advocated by </span></span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">Dr. Maria Montessori</span><span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"> have been artfully modified<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>in keeping with the interpretations of the ‘modern day pedagogues’ leading the Montessori movement. No reasoning, however, surpasses the ultimate universal moral principles of ‘equality’ (by way of equal respect and reverence towards <u>all</u> beings of sentience) and ‘reciprocity' (by way of causes and their natural consequences in mutual creation) that underpin all acts of human body, speech, and mind. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Today, the world suffers from desensitized human conditioning. In our hopefully civilized conditions and settings, the human free will must be exercised nurturing PEACE through non-violence (or no harm inflicted upon other beings of sentience), besides us humans who claim<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>selfishly and instinctively<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b>to reign supreme. Today our world is ravaged and entangled by human misconceptions, and thereby, the misconducts of human ignorance. All of the natural consequences by which we suffer as 'climate change' and a host of other interdependencies, are due to the ever broadening cracks of moral degradation caused by the misdeeds of human conditioning that we, together, may only transform<b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15.399999618530273px;">⏤</b>with altruistically balanced intentions.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: #b6d7a8;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is time that we wake up to realize that children of humanity, born innocent, do not deserve to be mislead and desensitized under the ideals of confused Montessori. While we aspire to be civilized beings treading upward along the spiritual ladder, we must never override the fact that we are bestowed with the capacity to mindfully </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cultivate higher values</span><b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">emulating an attitude of loving kindness towards all beings of sentience that deserve our unconditional respect and reverence</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">. Let us keep in mind, those who are conditioned with a selfish mentality are the very people who will potentially have no problem committing undue harm upon others, for they have been desensitized by life-experience</span><b style="font-family: 'helvetica neue', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">⏤</b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">undermining the preciousness of life to suit their instinctual tendencies.</span></span></span><br />
