I think our education system is where the biggest changes need to be made to move towards 4D. Unfortunately, it seems to be the system most ingrained in 3D thinking in our society. Growing up in a world of 3D concepts that made absolutely no sense to me, being forced through the public school system, I felt like a square peg being pounded into a round hole.
When I was younger, in 1st grade, my mom removed me from public school and put me into a Montessori school for a year and a half. I'd say that this experience is how school should be moving forward to a 4D society.
They style of learning was very "unguided." We had a list of stations we had to visit by the end of the day, and learning stations all throughout the room. We rarely had specific lessons to learn, but more like a guideline, such as "go to the zoology station and learn about whichever animal you want." We were allowed to move about and learn at our own pace, spending as much time at one station as necessary. The teachers did not force material down our throats, but rather observed our learning techniques and guided them the best they could. There were group sessions throughout the day where we would sit "indian style" in a circle and share stories, what we learned, what we wanted to learn, and how we felt about life in general.
We were not segregated by age, which I think is one of the first mistakes in public schools. I matured at least 2 or 3 years slower than most children, physically and mentally. But, after being placed in an open learning environment, I accelerated by learning nearly 10 fold. I went from struggling with simple 1st grade addition to doing complex 5th grade multiplication in my first year there because the tools were available for me to teach myself. I was not forced to learn a certain thing in a certain way.
Unfortunately, cost didn't allow me to stay there, and my mom tried to homeschool me until 5th grade, when I was cast back into the 3D society that made me lose all of my wonder for learning.
In my current situation, I'm much more capable of changing our systems of food distribution and concepts on agriculture, nutrition, and stewardship of our Mother Gaia. However, with public school being such a rough challenge for me to go through, I hope that some day I may take up the task of transforming our schools from a system which forces learning upon our kids, to a system which allows our kids to learn. Once these changes are made, I think we'll see amazing steps forward in expelling 3D concepts from our reality and adopt ing 4D concepts. It is coming. Change is imminent. But it is imminent because we're here to make the changes. Let's get to it.
