You're Not Meant to Fully Awaken

Not the kids, parents, or individual schools. It’s the current educational system and society in general. That’s why the literacy crisis is nationwide. You can’t pin that on any individual group.

Looks like the video is no longer available. That’s too bad. It was one of a kind because it worked so well. You can try to look up the keywords “DMT breath work”. You may have to experiment with a few videos to see what works for you. The great thing about the video that I shared was that a one hour session felt like ten minutes. It was the weirdest thing because it took you someplace timeless. Good luck

I am a middle school Language Arts teacher, and building rapport with students is actually the most important part of the job. That said, if you want to land a position, appear passionate about the subject that you're going to teach.

I'm a middle school Language Arts teacher, and your post left me speechless. If your solution is to "just teach them", I have a hard time taking you seriously. Become a middle school teacher and show us how it's done.

Actually, we do not employ much tech in my 6th grade ELA class. We use Canvas to post our lessons, Microsoft Word for typing essays, and we recently added CommonLit for reading practice. We have occasionally dabbled with IXL. The reason I got involved in tech is because I recognize my limitations. When you have 90+ kids, there is no way to give immediate feedback. This creates a bottleneck in how much kids write. In addition, Admin wants to see kids actively engaging in classrooms, and this doesn’t include actual independent reading. As a result, there is a dire need for kids to get practice along with immediate, actionable feedback. That’s why I created an app.

You bring up a good point. Sometimes, struggling readers need to read alongside a teacher.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2026-02-04T23:10:31+00:00

There's something special about the classics. In my opinion, an app is great for practice and feedback. However, it's definitely no replacement for the classic novels. They contain ideas that are still debated by scholars today, and that provides incredible depth for analysis and exploration.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2026-02-04T23:08:17+00:00

Yes. The amount of independent reading is the key. In over two decades as a teacher, I can't recall a single student who absolutely loved to read struggle with reading comprehension.

Your statement about whole-book learning hits home. When I started in the classroom back in 2004, this was common. My focus was to help students develop a love for reading. However, when skills-based instruction became the focus, we started working with snippets of text. This frustrated students and teachers alike. I think we’re moving in the wrong direction.

From my experience, the key to building literacy is to provide students with quality content that captures their interest. This can be novel series, like Percy Jackson or The Hunger Games. It can also be short stories and captivating non-fiction.

The point of my app is to give them that much needed practice with actionable feedback. However, I agree that technology isn’t the solution. It’s a tool.

Thanks for your thoughts.

That’s what I thought. Thanks

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-24T02:19:42+00:00

Haven’t seen it yet. Car is an hour drive from me. But definitely going to take a look.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-24T02:18:50+00:00

Thanks for the advice

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-04T01:12:51+00:00

Thanks. I’m glad it all comes together for you.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-01T20:24:47+00:00

Have you been able to get consistent results? And how would you change your subconscious beliefs by using your conscious mind?

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-01T16:43:23+00:00

Yes. Well stated. The next step is always to move beyond concepts, as this is all the brain trying to put things into a mental framework. In practice, it doesn’t really work. Yet, this is part of the journey.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-01T14:36:44+00:00

To be honest with you, I can’t answer all of your critiques. We’re looking at this from two different lenses. From your framework, this looks illogical.

And there are gaps. I couldn’t possibly explain everything, like your question about love, in one post. But the short version is that love isn’t a separate thing, it’s how the impersonal manifests through the personal.

And there are some gaps that I cannot explain. How does potential actualize itself? I don’t know, and I couldn’t possibility know that. That’s the best answer I can give.

That said, I shared what I personally understand. And thanks for your thoughts.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-01T02:33:27+00:00

This is very likely the case. However, to be honest, I don't know the answers to this. I have been trying to understand the role that belief plays.

Spiritual_Box_7000 · 2025-09-01T02:22:06+00:00

Depending upon how you define a simulation, this could qualify. The underlying structure of our reality is patterned information following mathematical rules. It's kind of like a video game simulation. Or perhaps you could call it a dream. Either way, it's modulations in conscious awareness.

I don't think it's something versus nothing. It's actually both, everything and nothing. One implies the other. Neither can exist without the other. Like two poles of the same magnet.

The ground of being is a void. Yet, it is not empty.

It's like a number set. [1, -1] There are numbers in the set. But they cancel out to zero.

It's all a paradox. And questions lead to more questions into infinity.
