I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for participating in the podcast with me. Our monthly discussions aim to uncover the true meaning of passion in education. As we delve into Ken Robinson's "The Element" and consider your insights, it's clear that while passion may fluctuate, the enduring presence of the #JoyOfLearning is essential. In my view, this embodies the very essence of education.
Sunil, we talked about it in the podcast. This is from a post of 2012 on my blog!
Words do not educate us!
Words are an utterly rudimentary approximation of reality; the creative infinity mind is a far more accurate portrayal of reality having12+ additional dimensions used by quantum pioneers who find that living nearer to reality is to discover a wonder world of beauty coming from creative rapture. Hans Eysenck described the ecstasies experienced by scientists and poets such as Rumi as possessing “Divine Madness”, which unlike the dungeon of psychosis is the greatest Liberation.
Quantum physicists’ creative infinity brains are marvellous and so large that they are almost infinite. Yet our schools teach almost nothing about it and absolutely nothing about the potential, which is unimagibly greater.
Passion is often misunderstood as merely something you like or enjoy, but this view oversimplifies its true nature. Passion isn't just about what brings you momentary pleasure or excitement; it's about what drives you to stay up late at night, to wake up early in the morning, and to keep pushing forward, even when the path is difficult. Passion is the deep, burning desire that compels you to pursue something with unwavering dedication and commitment.
When passion is seen as a mere mental construct—something defined by superficial preferences or fleeting interests—it can actually be detrimental to both personal growth and long-term happiness. This shallow understanding of passion can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction because it focuses on external validation and temporary pleasures rather than the deeper, intrinsic motivations that sustain true passion over time.
"There's a child in each one of us. That child is spontaneous, wondrous, innocent, creative, enthusiastic, giving and forgiving.
Never let that child down." ~SM 2021
