🌐 Public. Notes from the morning phone call with Dan, shared so others can think along with the philosophy and spirituality here.
Lifelong learning, starts whenever.
Learning is not about classes, credits, points, numbers or money. It is about understanding and growing as a person throughout life. A class only scratches the surface and starts things moving; you spend the rest of your life bringing what you learn into your thinking and your life. Philosophy, spirituality and lived experience are one thread here, and the story below is part of that learning.
One view of education treats it as points and credits that qualify you for a job. Lifelong learning is a different idea: it starts whenever, at any level, and keeps going.
If you have a brain, you can improve it. The brain changes and grows stronger with use, at any age.
Every time you read a book or study something, you upgrade your mind. We have limited time before we die, and what we take with us is not money or possessions. It is the gems, stories and lessons we collected along the way. The question to sit with: what did you actually go through, and what did you take from this life? Credits don't matter. What you learned and lived does.
