The State of Learning and Bumble-Bees

Thoughts after an interview with Lonnie Gould of Suggestopedia at Psycho therapeutic Conference in Kiev:

Our current education system is based on the French mechanical model.
But...
Nature functions at 7-10 kHz. Productive human mode is 22-28 kHz, but receptive Alpha wave state is 10-12 kHz, so to learn we must be relaxed—in state of nature-to allow more information in. The mind can focus on multiple levels—birdsong, highly complex, non-random. So when we are "just sitting in nature" we are actually learning—processing information. To learn we must be at rest. Learning is not about being productive, it is about being receptive!

Much like the state one enters into in the wilderness.

Lonnie says that our first memory becomes a blueprint for what sensations we seek in life. I remember my wonder and fear at a huge buzzing bumble bee in the kitchen. It was the first moment I remember discovering that I was I and there were other things that were not me-- that were separate, an alien reality, both exotic and frightening.

I wonder...

How are we constantly reliving our first memories?
How am I constantly reliving the bee- that excitement and fear of something not me? And from another world? Because the first memory is the first separation from wholeness—the differentiation of instinct, of pure reaction and thought—a moment of decision? A moment of popping above the surface of pure experience—realizing self through other? Through contradiction—a pleasure and a pain—or a contradiction of experience, or a sense of time—of self above something?

What does it mean to be receptive, what does it mean to re-member? To create a memory, must we stand outside of the flow of time?
