Children today receive uncensored and unanalyzed information from a plethora of sources. While earlier, input to student learning could be monitored and filtered, it is not possible in these times. They are exposed to the web, explosive media on television, cell phones, etc. The emerging technologies, access to the internet, blogs, wikis, Twitter, Facebook, et al make their presence on cyberspace more and more inevitable.
What do these children do with this information? Can they process and differentiate between fact and opinion; myth and reality? And finally, do they have the skills to differentiate between the two or sometimes more, conflicting views or scenarios? What then, is the solution to such a situation and how are the educators preparing the students for the 21st century?
An Integral Approach to Education
“The aim of education is to help the child to develop his intellectual, aesthetic, emotional, moral and spiritual being.” - SRI AUROBINDO
Over the years there have been attempts by philosophers and thinkers like John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Rudolph Steiner (The Waldorf Schools), Sri Aurobindo
to throw light on a holistic educational approach to education. And more recently, the Reggio Approach to Early Childhood education, which originated in the city of Reggio Emilia Italy
to throw light on a holistic educational approach to education.

Polanyi felt that the contemporary madness of postmodernity began with the idea of a complete and perfect objectivism, which is supposed to be the ideal of science and of all reliable knowledge in general: "All personal and subjective elements came to be regarded as disturbances to the attainment of this perfect objectivity. Every effort therefore had to be made to eliminate them."
It was as if Nature spoke directly and unamibuously to us, and that all we had to do was disinterestedly listen to her without any preconceptions -- as if there really could be knowledge at the level of the senses, divorced from the imaginative synthesis that takes place in mind of the creative knower. *All quotes taken from Michael Polanyi: A Critical Exposition

It is underway: the forthcoming work I have been referring to of late is now available at the Integral Review. This is a companion piece to the micropolitics paper, and hopefully a step forward on the question of "integral politics." hope some good comes of it.
mirror of tomorrow Sri Aurobindo’s Marriage—a discussion Comment posted by: Kepler
Sri Aurobindo did point out certain references to the Supermind in the Veda and Upanishads, and his Yoga obviously builds on past traditions and realizations. But would you really suggest that his expression of a processes of spiritual involution and evolution, progressively manifesting Satchitananda through increasingly evolved forms in the physical world, leading to a supramental transformation of earthly Nature and a Divine life on earth – brings nothing new that was not already expressed in the ancient lore? If so, I fear we won’t be able to see eye-to-eye on this topic or on many others…
Here again, if you don’t distinguish between the non-contingent Knowledge of the Spirit, and the contingent expression of that Knowledge in human thought and language at some particular point in time, then we probably can’t really discuss this topic.
One of the pleasures of reading Sri Aurobindo’s works is that such contradictions do not exist because he traces every contradiction to its Divine origin and reconciles it as part of a larger Truth. He explicates how every principle has it’s play in a certain context but if we over-generalize, then it loses its value. This article outlines some contradictions resolved by Sri Aurobindo…
From the spiritual perspective, pain is a welcome instrument of Nature and a necessary prod to our inner soul to awaken and free itself from its self-imposed limitations.

Visiting hours had ended by the time we arrived, but the ashram was open in part for an outdoor meditation under a beautiful tree in the courtyard. My friends wandered elsewhere, and I stood on the outskirts of the seated crowd, just observing the scene, until an Indian gentleman all in white, struck up a conversation with me. We spoke a bit about the ashram, and then, after sizing me up a bit, he asked if I wanted to visit the sacred meditation space where only the residents sit.
I nodded, so he took me past the milling crowds, through another courtyard, around a corner, where I suddenly lost my breath as my heart was flooded with feelings of profound tenderness and joy and love for no apparent reason except that it was as if these feelings were in the air and had thus penetrated my heart. Seated around me were a few others, seemingly equally overcome, and in front of me was a casket all in white, which I later learned was the burial site of Sri Aurobindo’s most beloved disciple and later bearer of his tradition. The devotees call her the Divine Mother
