<strong>Syn<strong>the</strong>tic</strong> <strong>Super</strong> <strong>Intelligence</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Transmutation</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Humankind</strong><br />

enough; this is tremendously important! However, we still need to develop<br />

ways to survive, <strong>and</strong> how to survive well. This can only be done h<strong>and</strong>s on.<br />

Hence, <strong>the</strong> importance <strong>of</strong> developing skills is highly applicable to anybody,<br />

anywhere. It is crucial that we teach our children skills when <strong>the</strong>y are little.<br />

We need to teach <strong>the</strong>m how to grow food, help in <strong>the</strong> kitchen, <strong>and</strong> clean <strong>the</strong><br />

house, etc. moreover, it’s crucial to carefully observe our children <strong>and</strong><br />

discover what <strong>the</strong>ir talents are. Then we must help <strong>the</strong>m develop <strong>the</strong>se<br />

talents. Children are most likely to succeed in life if <strong>the</strong>y have developed<br />

skills that <strong>the</strong>y truly enjoy. In adulthood, <strong>the</strong>se children will put much more<br />

heart <strong>and</strong> effort into <strong>the</strong>ir job than those who are more or less forced into a<br />

certain trade. We also need to gradually teach our children about how <strong>the</strong><br />

world really works, <strong>and</strong> we need to tell <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> real history as we know it.<br />

It’s from learning our history that we learn how to live our lives in <strong>the</strong><br />

present, so we don’t make <strong>the</strong> same mistakes over <strong>and</strong> over in <strong>the</strong> future.<br />

When everything breaks down, avoid government schools if you are<br />

planning on joining a breakaway community, or have already joined one by<br />

<strong>the</strong>n. Educate <strong>the</strong> children locally by using compassionate, spiritual teachers<br />

with real knowledge. Meet in <strong>the</strong> community to decide what needs to be<br />

taught in school <strong>and</strong> skip <strong>the</strong> rest. We don’t want to copy-cat <strong>the</strong> current<br />

public school. Teach <strong>the</strong> children how to be compassionate, peaceful, <strong>and</strong><br />

loving towards self <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs. Never tolerate any signs <strong>of</strong> violence or<br />

verbal abuse; h<strong>and</strong>le it in its cradle, but not by punishing <strong>the</strong> kids. Instead,<br />

educate <strong>the</strong>m <strong>and</strong> teach <strong>the</strong>m why it is not okay to be mean, inconsiderate,<br />

or abusive in any way toward self <strong>and</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs; teach <strong>the</strong>m to develop selfworth<br />

<strong>and</strong> self-confidence, <strong>and</strong> encourage <strong>the</strong>ir good sides <strong>and</strong> reward <strong>and</strong><br />

acknowledge those traits. Many <strong>of</strong> us have probably heard <strong>the</strong> Cherokee<br />

Indian story about <strong>the</strong> two wolves, but I think it’s appropriate to repeat it<br />

here:<br />

An old Cherokee is teaching his gr<strong>and</strong>son about life. “A fight is going on<br />

inside me,” he said to <strong>the</strong> boy.<br />

“It is a terrible fight <strong>and</strong> it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger,<br />

envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,<br />

inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, <strong>and</strong> ego.” He continued, “The o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,<br />

benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, <strong>and</strong> faith. The same<br />

fight is going on inside you – <strong>and</strong> inside every o<strong>the</strong>r person, too.”<br />
