    About this ebook

    How do I write about a word like education when I already know what it means, or do I really know? To date, I have written several books relating to life, and this one discusses the word education and how it relates to creation and all of life. Education starts on the day of physical birth and continues throughout life until that final day of living in this dimension. Education is a complex and interesting word. It comes in many ways and forms and surrounds everything and everyone at all times. Education is very multiplex and has its own direction. It is the choice of each individual whether they wish to follow the path of education or be independent and create their own education, or the lack thereof.

      Introduction

      It’s Christmas morning (2015) and I am sitting here very peaceful, listening to beautiful Christmas music and thinking back over my absolutely colorful life. I have been blessed beyond all my expectations.

      I was born into a very loving family and was given love and affection throughout my young years. I was guided and educated into what my parents termed proper. They didn’t use words like right & wrong or good & bad. It was always proper or improper. So I was raised and educated to be a very proper little boy.

      Later in life, I realized the love that went into that proper education. It guided me to be the individual that I am today. Throughout life I have continued to try and be that proper little boy who was raised with love and affection.

      Speaking of Education, when I was a young school age boy, I was always large for my age and very athletic. In the classroom, I was a good student in the basics like math, spelling, sentence structure and art. When it was time to read, retain and comprehend, everything fell apart.

      I could read the written word because that was mechanical, however I didn’t have a clue as to what I read or what it meant. For some reason, I had a problem with reading retention and comprehension. That problem haunted me throughout school and even into Jr. College.

      At age nineteen, I was very fortunate and started working in my chosen field of aerospace (a real Job), as a Jr. Draftsman. Suddenly my poor reading skills disappeared and I could speedread and comprehend anything and everything that was put in front of me. I quickly advanced my position from the drafting board to reading, comprehending and outlining Government Contracts for the Company Division I worked for. All of my stored formal schooling was now working for me and my educated subconscious mind was now my conscious educated mind and extremely active.

      To date I have written several books relating to life and this one discusses the word education and how it relates to all of life and creation.

      How do I write about a word like education when I already know what it means, or do I really know? I know that my parents were very good at instructing me as a small boy. They taught me all the fundamentals of what they termed life, and what was expected of me as I grew to the point of becoming self-sufficient and
