Thinking takes place on at least three levels: autonomic, reactive and deliberative. Even though most educational systems make noble attempts to instruct students in the ways of thinking well the daily routine and mechanics of teaching eventually overwhelms the best intentions of educators and administrators alike. Routine and habit are shortcuts to action without thinking.
The Purpose of Thinking
Descartes’ dictum, “Cogito, ergo sum,” (I think, therefore, I am) was a whole new way of thinking about life by grounding it in thought.
Thinking is the process by which you uncover your Self and its potential and by which you discover creative ways to apply what you already know to being your Self within the context of your community of life. When you spend time thinking, you afford yourself the opportunity to get acquainted with your innate knowledge and with what you can do with that self-knowledge.
The Problem of Education
Wisdom is organized life.” He described his approach to education as organizing life when he said, “the science I teach is how one might occupy his proper place in the universe.” Thinking was not done merely to arrive at solutions to problems and answers to questions but was to be done to “know myself” and to learn how to be myself in the world as a unique presence.
In modern times, especially in Western education models, students are seen as proverbial “empty vessels” sitting at the feet of “fuller,” older, wiser, learned professional educators who empty their knowledge into those empty heads thereby filling them with what somebody else knows. During the socialization process of teaching children how to exist in a particular culture, the system of education serves to provide the psychological structures for social homogenization by imparting the “wisdom of the ages,” knowledge handed down from previous generations and that is deemed that everyone should know.
The late 19th early 20th Century English philosopher, mathematician, and writer, Bertrand Russell, was no fan of formal educational systems and said so when he commented that education was “one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought” and that “men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.” Education was the process by which people became like each other instead of becoming their unique Selves.
It winds up being mere “data dumping” with little, if any attempt to help students “connect the dots” among the enormous array of data being offered from multiple sources and perspectives. If thinking is taught to be the process by which the thinker is able to accurately discern right from wrong, truth from falsity, authenticity from disingenuineness, then merely learning new information is not the way this can be done. Locke intimates how we can learn to ‘judge whether they be truths or not’ when he penned, “reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.”
Reading is an indispensable method of education. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.” So reading, an essential means of education, can be a detriment to creative thinking.
The problem is that formal education offers no heuristic that students might use to organize and focus their thinking about everything they learn or to help them discover how to practically apply what they learn to the adventure of living. Formal education, by providing massive amounts of asynchronous, external information, unwittingly becomes the chief cause of the obfuscation and “cluttering up” of the Self. Self-knowledge gets lost amidst the din of seemingly competing voices and ideas. Ironically, we have been educated out of thinking.
Can education be directed to actually help human beings find their proper place in the universe? Then all subsequent information that you acquire will gather to weave the larger tapestry of your unique presence within space and time.

Adam and Eve tried to cover their nakedness-and thus their guilt-by making garments of fig leaves. I want to explore with you a little about leaves, figs and the fig tree.
The Hebrew word for fig is taen (the-ane’). It is elusive as to its origin and it means: the fig, the tree or the fruit.
The Hebrew word for sew, or sewed is the Hebrew word taphar (ta-far’).
It seems certain to me, based on these and other Scriptures which we shall now look at, that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and of Evil was a fig tree.
The Fig Tree
There are about forty references to figs and the fig tree, in the Bible.
Proverbs 27:18 connects the fig tree with its fruits, and the caring for the same, with getting and keeping wisdom. If one wanted to meditate and to acquire wisdom about life and particularly about God, he went to sit under the fig tree. Here in the end of the Bible the original error in the Garden of Eden-where it all started at the Fig Tree, its fruit and its leaves-is revisited.
Intimately connected and involved with these two events was the situation involving the fig tree. The encounter between Jesus and the fig tree was carefully and purposefully planned and set up from the foundations of the world.
In the Greek it says, “He saw one fig tree in the way.” It is analogous of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and of Evil-that fig tree from which Adam and Eve tried to make a covering for their sins. It was that tree which was representative of, and inclusive of, all humanism and carnal knowledge. It represented every effort of man through his works, whether secular or religious, to find God, to know God, or to justify himself, or to restore and recover himself.
There are six words here. The next word is time which is the Greek kairos (kahee-ros’). It means a set, proper time, occasion, season, time. If there was no fruit on this fig tree now, there was never going to be. Jesus went to it if haply-or in other words, “if it might just have finally borne something.” If there was a possibility that the fig tree was ever going to produce fruit, now was the time. The time had fully come.
Is God right in this? Is God really doing this to you? Did God really say that?
In the past God had allowed the covenant of works for His purposes. It was an experiment to teach man-in the image of God and free in his moral agency-his need for a Redeemer.
Jesus came and taught truth, but they failed abjectly to understand it or to see God or to receive the words of life to their good. In His cursing of the fig tree-which had its symbolic origin in the Garden of Eden-Jesus was declaring an end to the school-teaching phase of God’s relationship with man. Man was no longer allowed, by God, to try. Jesus cursed the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil to dry up at the roots and to be no more. No man, from hence forth and forever, would be deceived by that tree with God’s consent and for any good purpose that God had in mind.
Eve had been deceived by the fruit of the tree and the carnal wisdom she had gained. Now she tries through that wisdom and its source-the fig tree-to make amends by covering their sins with its covering-the leaves which the woman sews into aprons. The void that has opened between God and man cannot be breached by carnal wisdom, the works of men’s hands, or the offering of anything that is of the old creation.
But God does not leave her hopeless. It will involve new birth into a new race of men, a sacrificial death, and the destruction of the devil, who is the enemy of man and God. Hebrews 10:1 through 5, make it clear that God never took pleasure in the death of animals.
The leaves of the tree in the old Garden of Eden could not heal the sinful condition of fallen man because they came from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. But the leaves of the Tree in the New Eden can do so, according to Revelation chapter 22:2, because they are from the Tree of Life:
God ordained, from before the foundations of the world, that the woman would be deceived and that they would eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. But He also ordained, from before the foundations of the world, that from the woman would come one who would be lifted up on a tree, high enough to reunite man and God.

YOUR mouth will not water when I speak of a sweet called Jangiri made in South India. In anticipation of eating that sweet, your mouth waters.
If there is an abrasion or a wound, the bacillus can enter the body at such points. The disease can be fatal, if timely action is not taken.
THE dark colour absorbs heat. A dark colour of the skin means abundance of melanophore cells that contain a pigment called melanin. Because a dark skin absorbs heat, it prevents the heat from reaching the inner sensitive parts. Have you noticed how the skin becomes dark (it is called tanning), when it is exposed to sunlight for long periods? Overexposure for long periods can result in skin cancer.
The soda that we use in cooking is a chemical compound called Sodium Bicarbonate. It dontains about 18 % water, the chemical name for which is Hydrogen Oxide. It also contains chemical compounds in minute quantities, which lend if antiseptic propierties.
Kidneys are organs, which help us to eliminate unwanted and waste products from body in the form of urine. Kidney stones are actually lumps of chemical compounds like uric acid, calcium oxalates, `phosphates, etc.
Non-vegetarians are those who kill living beings and eat them. But it is said that plants, too, have life. In that case, aren’t people who eat plants and grains also non-vegetarian?
IT is true that plants have life. Long ago, man killed man and ate him. Then he gave it up and ate only other living animals. Many people felt unhappy with this also and restricted their meals to only birds, fish, plants and food grains. Some rejected even birds and fish and lived only on plants and food grains.
WAIER is a chemical compound called hydrogen oxide. As you boil it, it turns into steam and evaporates, Milk is not a single chemical compound, but consist of many chemical compounds – fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. Milk contains proteins from which nourishment is derived by the young ones of mammals. It contains sugars in the form of lactose. Heat has a different effect ‘on milk. When heated, milk is precipitated.
The science of naming living organisms is called taxonomy. High levels of testosterone (the male hormone) in the blood and high blood pressure also can lead to balding. Most people grow hair back lost during typhoid.
Pools of water seem to appear, even though the road is dry. Can’t ageing be stopped?
In India, people living in the Hunza region of Kashmir are believed to live long. Perhaps you know that continuous wear-and-tear goes on in the human body when the skin tissue or the bone tissue is worn or damaged, new tissue takes its place. But Leonard Hayflick, a researcher form Philadelphia, first proved that cells couldn’t multiply all the time. Every situation perceived as a threat ages people. Deepak Chopra has discussedthe phenomenon of ageing in depth in his book Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. The sound waves sent by these screeches are called ultrasonic waves. It is alkaline and is composed of water, mucus, mineral salts, protein and a digestive enzyme called Ptyalin. Ptyalin also helps digest the starch content in food.
How can aquatic animals survive when the lakes and seas freeze?
As a result, ice is formed on the surface and since it is lighter than I the water below, it floats on the surface. The fish and other animals freely move about in the water below. If you eat in a hurry, you would be gulping down some air also.
Are only dogs colour blind? Why?
That means cats, rats, dogs, rabbits, foxes, tigers, lions, cows, buffaloes, etc. are colour blind.
If you eat half a dozen bananas every day, you are likely to put on weight.
The building bricks of the human body, called cells are made up mainly of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. When you lose weight, these get converted into carbon dioxide and water. Carbon dioxide is thrown out along with the exhaled air Water is thrown out via perspiration and urine.
Water drops appear on outside of the tumbler?
It contains mainly nitrogen and oxygen and also water vapour, in weather reports, water content is referred to as humidity. When you pour chilled water into a steel tumbler, moisture in the air condenses and forms water droplets. The water droplets formed, close to the surface of the tumbler can be seen easily.
IT is true that leaves are like mini factories that manufacture food for the plants from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water from its roots, using chlorophyll. The stored food is used by the plants in winter.
That is alive and from it grows the hair. The more the pigment, the darker the skin. In the form of amoeba (primitive but simplest animal life form) or algae (primitive, but simplest vegetarian life form). They can produce food from simple elements like carbon and oxygen, in carbon dioxide, and hydrogen in water.
It prevents clotting of blood within the vascular system.
THE building blocks of the human body are called cells. The building material for these cells is protein. Milk, lentils (daals), grams (chana), soyabean, fish, chicken and meat contain proteins. When digested in the body, proteins get converted into simpler compounds called amino acids like lycine, leucine, isoleucine and tryptophan. Parts of the body where growth or repairing of the wear and tear is taking place.
Secondly HIV dies in the mosquito’s body because the mosquito after sucking the blood digests the blood and doesn’t immediately need to feed on another. Snow is nothing but the frozen atmospheric vapour, which falls in winters on earth as light, flakes whereas ice is simply frozen water.
Skin, intestine, bone marrow and other tissues are more prone to cancer because of a large presence of dividing cells. The blockage of blood supply to the heart muscle causes death of heart tissues. The affected heart muscle is not replaced in most cases, instead scan tissue builds up.
Syzygy is a condition when three celestial bodies form a straight line. Infertile females are also called as workers. It is the science of air in motion and the motion of objects in air. A layer of cells, called the separation layer, forms at the base of the leaf stem. If i eat a plantain and the remnants stick to the tongue then the pain is unbearable. At new moon (amavasya), the moon is between the earth and the sun. When the moon reaches the opposite side of the earth from the sun, its side facing the earth is fully seen. As regards Australia, there was no free movement of humans or animals from the countries of the old world to this continent. Isn’t carbon dioxide lighter than air?
The air that we breathe in as well as the air that we breathe out consists mainly of nitrogen (about 80%). The air that we.breathe in has less than 20% of oxygen. There will be a little more moisture (water) also, in the air that we breathe out. Nitrogen is lighter than oxygen; Carbon dioxide is heavier than even oxygen. A water molecule consists of two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. As a result, in spite of hundreds and thousands being eaten by other fish, thousands still survive.
Why do old people have wrinkles on their skin? As a result, old people sweat less than young people. 4. The colour pigment is spread evenly. 5. The skin of the scalp begins to thin with age.
THE mouth smells because the bacteria, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, act upon the food particles stuck in the crevices between the teeth and cause fermentation, particularly if the food eaten is full of starch and sugar. Protein deprivation over a period of time could affect memory. When digested, protein breaks down into amino acids. Milk is a good source of proteins, including essential amino acids and also vitamins of the B group.
Sea water is a complex solution of mineral salts and of decaying/ decayed biological matter that results from the abundance of life in the seas.
The influenza A (H5N1) virus — also called the H5N1 virus — is a subtype that occurs largely in birds. When we talk about human flu viruses, we refer to those subtypes that occur widely in humans. There are only three known subtypes of human flu viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2); it is likely that some genetic parts of current human influenza A viruses came from birds originally.
Milk, cheese, curd, paneer are animal products, but why are they considered vegetarian?
A vegetarian is one who does not consume any animal product or by-product from a slaughtered animal. It is a strict vegetarian or ‘vegan’ that does not consume any animal product, either from a living or slaughtered animal.
Dr Provine likens yawning to stretching, an involuntary activity that increases blood pressure, heart rate and also serves to flex joints and muscles. Also, since even animals and birds yawn, scientists believe yawning could be a form of communication. Immediate medical attention is called for.
Do animals, like humans, have different blood groups?
In man, blood group is applied to a single factor, the agglutinogen and is found on the surface of red blood corpuscles. A person with ‘A’ antigen is designated one with A-group, with ‘B’ antigen as B-group, with both A and B antigens as AB-blood group and a person without any antigens is designated as 0-blood group. In animals, blood group is applied to combinations of blood factors. It is preferable to call them ‘blood group systems’ rather then blood groups. Each system has many factors which are together called blood group factors. Attached to each hair inside the skin is a tiny muscle. The skin around each hair also gets pulled up. The result is little bumps.
What is the bombay blood group?
This term is normally used in the life sciences while describing the exterior of an animal or plant.
Eating of the dinosaur eggs by the mammals that had appeared around this time on the earth is believed to be another reason for the extinction of dinosaurs.
This class of invertebrates includes animals like spiders. The fear of these animals is called arachnopodia.
