A Method for Connection

People need knowledge. They also need a method for connection.

We already live in a world where each person depends on the others. Education still mainly teaches how to receive for oneself. That is no longer enough.

The desire to receive stays. Reciprocity is what we add to it.

I receive, and I think about the other person. The other person receives, and thinks about me. Together, that is mutual responsibility. Each of us looks after the connection between us.

A culture of relationships grows from that practice. Each person is responsible for the connection between us.

One of the main tasks of Integral Education is to teach a person how to live in connection with others inside one interdependent system. The person learns to use the desire to receive for the benefit of the whole.
