Dynamical Learning

Introduction to Dynamical Learning!
All of us have one thing in common: we were thrust out of our mother’s womb into a world full of fear and wonder. Our coming out party was full of Imagination. Our first lesson we toyed around deep within our minds, attempted to configure the perplexity of our being. Our infantile thoughts, solely stimulated by the infinite array of colors and shapes, instinctively became a recollection of images that influenced the way we would see the world. Images thus turned into imagination; and inspiration became or barometer of the spiritual world. The physical universe, our playground, was in fact a theater of revolving images transforming our thoughts, embedding them into our senses. Life becomes a snapshot of images while our tiny brains begin to attach those images into abstractions, or the intangible thoughts creating before our minds.
As we age, reason kicks; we slowly suppress our infantile learning mechanisms, unable to synthesize image and thought together, replacing innate learning methods with practical, reasonable assumptions that lead to an undermining conclusion; fact or fiction; reality or illusion; good or bad, and so on. We categorize and file; delete and add; hide and expose our sense of self; radically contrasting what we once were. We departmentalize feelings and rationalize the metaphysical natures of our lives. As children, we need not to; it is already defined for us. We unconsciously live the moment, yet consciously accept the coexistence of image and thought. Basically, we are born bullet proof because we only accept what is true for ourselves, regardless of truths may lie ahead of us. As adults, we adapt to the terrible dysfunction of human nature, losing the primal essence of what we were when thrust into the world. Our experiences slowly turn to faded memories, while our minds begin to lose their childlike luster. As a result, our educational paradigms and modalities of teaching ineffectively portray learning, pushing imagination, awareness, perceptibility, and fancy aside.
Dynamical Learning Methods will try and attempt to reverse those modalities of teaching and create a world of learning that stimulates the suppressed mind into an active, thinking entity. It will attempt to synthesize both image and thought to successfully originate the origin of our beings.
The twenty step guide to dynamical teaching will help foster student awareness, which in turn will improve his/her grasp on language.
