Put together December 2003

My children are taught:

•  To be conscious! To be aware. Aware of yourself and aware of what is going on around you. To be respectful and meditative. So as not to live in a lie, to be truthful, unafraid of truth, so to live life more fully.
  To be conscious is to be awake.
•  Karma! Noting cause and affect. Karma makes one responsible for ones actions. My children are taught cause and effect, to learn the affects of actions. If you don't like a reaction then you must think of the action that created the reaction and learn to change it, rearrange it, stop it etc. Think before you act so you have control over your actions. Making you conscious of your actions. Learning wise actions, the affects of actions, the power of action and no action. Wisdom - living in a Wise kingdom.
   
• Words they have to meditate on are :

• To be conscious, consciousness
• Karma
• Intelligence - an excellent word to ponder on this diversely unique planet.

Subjects my children are made conscious of:

•  War - the purpose of it, the affects of war through history. Life with war and without. Cultures and races how each deals with life, death, close ones, survival and unity. To not get stuck in hostility.  To forgive, heal and get on with life.
•  How the earth teaches lessons, through the animal kingdom, plant kingdom, the elements. How people need to live in harmony with earth to put their energy into the earth, to feed organically opposed to inorganically. Made conscious we are all one organism ~ earth. How we are all related.  How we treat the earth affects all of us.  How to find that healing touch; so to be whole and non toxic.
•  Energy - we are bodies of energy we touch and give out energy to one another. Loving, healing, hostility, annoyance, what we pass around goes around. Being conscious of the energies and learning to heal and relax ones energy. To meditate on ones energy so to regenerate oneself, to heal oneself, make colourful ones aura, to cleanse ones aura and see others energy light.
•  Our bodies are sacred. Beautiful works of art. We are the caretakers of our bodies, our temple. Mind, body and soul. We work towards love, loving vibes. We energize ourselves through artful creative meditations. To love and enjoy life's pleasures is natural. We were made to love. The sacred open hearted love that is returned, we feed upon. To be unafraid to love and hold love sacred. Divine, transcending. Not to be abused! To love oneself.  The Karma and power of love. Pure, uplifting, freedom.
•  Charkas
  o Fixing/forming the foundation
  o Feeling the way
  o Shining with light/laughter
  o Healing & uplifting the heart
  o Speaking with clarity
  o Thoughtful thinking and seeing.
  o Spirit, the flow of energy that we feed upon.
•  Work. The rewards of work. Work worth doing. Time well spent. Challenges and practice needed to attain goals.
•  Focus. Bindu. To not loose your focus. Not loose the meditation or energy current. To learn your limits to learn yourself to improve upon oneself for ever growing, changing, learning, expanding ones consciousness, focus new.
•  Attaining life, light, love, liberty
•  Death is an adventure. Not to be toyed with.
   

I found this in my files from back in the late 90's

Our Philosophy for Homeschooling our children

We believe In Love, Light, Liberty and the freedom to do as we will.
Following nature, the earth in her natural rhythms.
Communing with nature one finds their own true nature.  Organic bodies of light.

To create a loving and open environment for learning.
So ours girls will be free to choose for themselves what interests them to learn; so they will carry an interest in learning and to achieve any goals they set out for.
To enrich their spiritual world with love and understandings. Teaching respect and Love. To be sensitive to the world around, yet firm in their ground not to be abused but able to banish unconstructive situations without causing hurt. Teaching love through love.
To walk proud and live life to its fullest.
Pulling oneself up when one is down,  flexible like grass to the winds.
To grow in a stimulating environment, abundant with creative resources to flourish.
