Outside Classrooms

Learning about light and dark about nutrition and toxin about birds and bees, about conductors and insulators, pitchers and catchers, producers and consumers, does not happen best inside school buildings, she said with some impatience. Who is "she" dear? You left out the beginning of our story. She is Gaia MotherEarth Anima Mundi Green Woman SkyWoman, Grandmother Moon, Diana... I'm not sure... She has many PositivEnergy matriarchal names. Yes, and some not so nice ones too. Careful, this is a family audience here. Wouldn't want to alienate our natural wildlife sponsors. OK, so why are inside human habitats not so great for learning similarities and differences between secular nature and sacred nurture? I'm not sure that's what she said, dearest, but... That's OK. We've talked. I know that's how She feels nondually right with left WinWin. In contrast to deductive LeftBrain EitherPlay/OrWork Business as SoldOut Usual? Back to our creation story Why are we less likely to forget Nature outside co-arising Spirit inside outside than inside? She said Because outside invites consumers to reward producers by cooperatively inviting consumers allied with producers to return to reproducing healthy lives next season as previously and polyculturally agreed since time bilaterally began with revolving clockwise and counter-clockwise space. Meanwhile, in our timeless inside school voices, we speak of giving monocultural Consumer Demands rather than Consumer Invitation, curiosity, PositivEnergy return on cooperatively courageous CoInvestments. And Farm and Garden Production Schooling without equal attention to Farm and Garden Consumption of healthy nutrients more and pathological toxins less. And physical and mental pan-sectarian exercise without co-arising sacred health vocational awareness of WinWin economic and political consciousness. So why do we try to teach kids with primary inside school voices about secondary outside school nutritional choices? I guess that's FatherSun's monotheistic responsibility for producing inclement weather. Well, maybe. But I don't think for a minute She doesn't contribute her fifty cents for every dollar invested in ZeroZone balance too. Do you think our Green EcoSchool for restoring Ego-Eco Balance might support how outside Nature and inside Spirit work in Left-Right Commons more importantly than how they don't work so well apart, fundamentally dualistic? You mean evangelistically retributively at war with each other, crusading about who will wear the authoritative orthodox pants and who is reduced to eisegetical communion's pretty panties? Something like that. My big take away from how She was speaking: Natural and spiritual environments, cultural memories, paradigmatic memes have much more PositivEnergy say with each other about long-term healthy wealth than do trivial Left-Right NegativEnergy differences, dissonance, disarray, climates of growing indoor so also outdoor climate pathology. She won't like it if we end with a NegativEnergy punishing message, dear. Right again, Left revolving Open PositivEnergy Doors into outside-inside nature-spirited classroom voices.
