Peace Summit 2009 - Educating the Heart and Mind

[RichardAlanKosar]

Please do you know Mind Maps and their world teacher Tony Buzan? This could be good peace of puzzle for creativity.

Before we try to find ways to cultivate creativity, we need to first figure out what creativity is in the first place. I don't think there is a consensus among the Jedi regarding what constitute creativity.

In its deepest aspect, creativity is the freedom to try new things. Whether or not a new creation becomes useful or successful, it is still a product of creativity. It is then the hindrances of the mind, which we acquire as we grow older, that stifles our creativity. Spirituality is the way

NIECH TO KTOŚ PRZETŁUMACZY

The weapon manufacturing corporations like Boeing and Lockeed Martin are responsible for pushing weapons on the US and other countries like drug pushers push their drugs on teenagers. And that is why war is being promoted, perpetuated and increased. It even goes to the point of removal of our civil rights. It goes against expert scientific advise. The teenagers in form of politicians today give in to their own greed. Peace starts with the teens even though it should start with the corporations.

[KennyReddwooddforest]

@KennyReddwooddforest It should start with the corporations and I am appealing to them to begin to do serious introspections. But when they do not go within and see that they are cutting off their own life sources, then we teens, adults, kids even, and the politicians, each person can go within, ask questions, accept the facts, and seek peaceful, loving and gentle solutions. Giving love to others must include the non human animals as well and if we love them we already have love in us.

[KennyReddwooddforest]

@KennyReddwooddforest What the experts said is great in regards to learning through creativity, art, meaningful context, purpose, motivation, love and through being understood by others, by the teachers, and by parents. And we must teach animals the same way and meet them where they are even if they are not as cognitively intelligent as humans are. The animals are our teachers in regards to character, loving kindess, standing by your side, tonglen, and bodhichitta. Loving animals is loving us.

I think it all depends on the individual. For the most part people don't want to be happy, they would rather be 'right' or 'safe', and they will get that one way or the other. And you can't change what they do.. So what is the purpose of all of this? Ultimately we change the world by our own happiness. So to 'fix' the world, find your own happiness, that is all we can do...

[untonsured]

@PICLex well one does not want to fall into moral relativism

[PICLex]

@untonsured

What's that when it's at home? Morals are relative..

[untonsured]

@PICLex it's when someone says that what's right or wrong for them isn't necessarily right/wrong for anyone else...so, people need direction and positive direction at that...hence the purpose of the peace summit. By the way, I agree with you....not that that matters.
