An Introduction to Online Critical Pedagogy Part 1
Reading Assignment: You can read the entire book,
Critical Pedagogy Primer, but for the first few weeks the course will focus on the Preface and Chapter One, the Introduction.
Monday, March 28, 2016
Welcome to the course.
The gods
are not going to be easy on me, it seems. I had posted the following on the front page of this website last night
Online Critical Pedagogy—Coming Soon! Joe’s WAY
and already today has been
a magical and intense day of very rigorous learning.
What is Joe’s WAY? As Joe contends, with his form of Critical Pedagogy, we are all teachers and we are all learners.
Thus, it is safe to say that all of the teachers will be learning as they teach if they practice his process, which includes
me as I teach this course.
Much of what I do, especially my writing, is guided by Holy Spirit and/or
some other level of consciousness, and maybe even some other consciousness, which is an indication of how little we really
know about consciousness. This exemplifies why Joe is so adamant that we study these processes and why he lined out a way
for us to do so.
I was curious as to why I had added WAY in capital letters. Of course,
I understand the distinction of Critical Pedagogy Joe’s WAY because if you’ve read much of Joe’s
work, his brand of critical pedagogy is far different and much more expansive than “the man on the street’s”
conception of critical pedagogy (no sexism intended here; just stating facts). So why did I write WAY in
capital letters? And what is Joe’s WAY?
Well, I knew he had mentioned the “Middle Way”
in his work. Did it come from that? I went back to his source, which was his book, Critical Constructivism. In fact,
it’s listed as just one of the tenets of his “Unified World View.” But his reference is fairly innocuous and really does not stand out much from the
other perspectives he had mentioned in the same context. It basically seems to be just another perspective from which we can
examine complex phenomena, personal experiences, and disagreements among people. It’s also a way of life.
From my instant research about “The Way” last night, I came up with this explanation, which seems like a
reasonable approach to employ in those situations and in life in general. What do you think?
THE
MIDDLE WAY
In his first
discourse the Buddha calls the Noble Eightfold Path the middle way. He calls it the middle way because the eightfold path
avoids all extremes in conduct and in views. In the discourse the Buddha points out that there are two extremes which a seeker
of enlightenment has to steer clear off. These two extremes are, on the one side, indulgence in desire, on the other, self
-mortification. Some hold the view that sensual indulgence, the grasping of luxury and comfort, is the greatest happiness.
But the Buddha, from his own experience, calls this way a low, inferior ignoble course which does not lead to the realization
of the highest goal. The other extreme is not so common but has always an attraction for religious seekers. This is the extreme
of self-mortification. Those who follow this practice hold that the way to liberation is through strict and austere asceticism.
The Buddha himself followed this path of asceticism before his enlightenment, but he found that it does not lead to the goal.
Therefore he called the path of self-affliction, painful, ignoble and not conducive to the goal.
In its place he holds up the Noble Eightfold Path as the
middle way. It is not called the middle way because it lies in between the two extremes as a compromise between too much and
too little, but, because it rises above them, because it is free from their errors, from their imperfections, from the blind
alleys to which they lead.
To follow the middle path means to provide the body with what it needs to be in a strong and healthy condition yet
at the same time to rise above bodily concerns in order to train the mind in right conduct, concentration and wisdom. In fact,
the middle way is essentially a way of mind training, not a compromise with the attitude of renunciation. On following the
Noble Eightfold Path the mind has to be strengthened and trained in the strongest attitude of renunciation, detachment from
the demands of craving and clinging. [The Noble Eightfold Path by Bhikkhu Bodhi][The Middle Way]
As you can see, it’s an element of what’s
referred to as the Noble Eightfold Path. When I look back at my acquaintance with Joe, I can see that he had embraced
this in his life. He lived in modest comfort and he was not about acquiring riches, but was about gaining knowledge and wisdom—and
about sharing his knowledge and wisdom and helping the rest of us learn powerful processes to become impassioned to do the
same. He was also about transcending the “norms” of society and sought other people who also transcended the norms.
Thus, it’s more of an embracing of transcending the norms, perhaps, in order to recreate society and
a better world. As you learn to use his research and learning process, you will discover that, as the Buddha learned according
to the excerpt above, Joe’s Way leads the way to transcendence. He often uses the description that we will be “jettisoned
to new mind spaces” (i.e., higher consciousness). His bricolage, which will be introduced in this course, can catapult
us to totally new understandings—and to creative solutions to very complex problems.
Activity
1.1: The Middle Way
Research more about the Middle Way and find several different definitions and perspectives about it. Who
is presenting the perspective and what are the major attributes they’ve presented? What aspects do you apply or wish
to apply in your own life and what are the benefits? What are the limitations? What other questions do you have after researching
this topic? Given that Joe referenced it in Critical Constructivism, how might the Middle Way fit into his theoretical formulation
of constructivism? How have your teachers used constructivism in your courses? Did you feel like you were actually constructing
new knowledge—or simply the knowledge your teacher wanted you to construct? If you’re a teacher, how do you use
constructivism in your teaching? Are you leading the students to complete some predetermined project, or are the students
truly free to construct their own knowledge in their own creative ways?
So that was what I found last
night on the topic of The Way and I dropped the research to go about the rest of my activities for the evening. The title
I had been guided to posting quite serendipitously to this site did not specifically state “The Middle Way,” but
rather it stated “Joe’s WAY.” And I can assure you, with Joe’s WAY there is always
much, much more. That’s what we will be exploring here—the much, much more of his version of Critical Pedagogy.
There is a spiritual dimension, which is emphasized throughout his work. It is perhaps the most important dimension of his
work, but all of the other applications are necessary components as well.
When I went to bed last night,
though, I not only felt Joe’s presence, I could clearly see his presence. When I say “clearly,” that is
“relatively speaking.” There are many people who can see into other dimensions more clearly than I can and see
“spiritual beings”…I expressed to him with great compassion that I would like for him to manifest. And
let me be clear about what I mean by “spiritual beings.” In my experience, in my spiritual lessons over the last
7 plus years, I have learned that they are just like us. That means they do have a physical presence but
because they are at a higher vibration, they are simply out of our immediate eyesight.
Some people
compare it to being on a different wavelength, similar to a different radio or television station. We can develop higher levels
of consciousness to meet them at least halfway and interact with them more directly. Emanuel Swedenborg, a Seventeenth Century
philosopher, wrote extensively about his very personal experiences with “spirits” in various dimensions. If you
would like to learn more, I recommend Off the Left Eye YouTube channel and cruising topics you find interesting. You will learn a new perspective.
Recently (within just the past three weeks) I was recommended a YouTube channel, Divine Truth. This is a
channel produced by a man who says he is Jesus. His partner’s name is Mary. The philosophy described matches my own
spiritual experiences since meeting Joe in 2008, as well as corresponds well with Joe’s philosophy. I highly recommend
viewing some of their introductory videos so that you’ll be better prepared to at least intellectually understand some
of the complex concepts Joe presents in his work during this course. In the Divine Truth videos, soul science and manifestation is explained in great detail, although no one has all of
the answers yet by any means. Most of us are totally out of touch with reality about these matters, and these are the very
issues Joe was getting across in his work—understanding how this is so will be just one dimension of this course, and
hopefully more people will become interested in studying the topics that come up in greater depth.
Thus, I’m
quite certain Joe can manifest more completely in this dimension, and, in fact someone once told me back in 2009 that he had
seen a man who looked just like a photo of Joe I had on the desk in my home office. He didn’t know Joe had passed on,
and so he was visibly shaken when I told him that. Interestingly, this person was the handyman who had delivered my wedding
ring to me under quite bizarre circumstances that I’ve described elsewhere. He was also very shocked that I knew about
his personal life and that he had been engaged to a woman with two children, a boy and a girl but their engagement had been
broken off. I don’t know how I knew that. This was early in my magical mystical spiritual experiences. When the handyman
had come to do some repairs for me that day, he brought the diamond ring his fiancé apparently had thrown down when
she broke up with him. He wanted to see if by some remote chance I would want it. I instantly knew that Joe wanted me to have
the ring as a symbol of our love and spiritual marriage and the handyman desperately needed some cash, so he sold it to me for a very fair price…I
have discussed that incident in greater detail in my dissertation and elsewhere. I still think it’s great how symbiotic
the whole thing was—the handyman desperately needed cash and we did not have to contribute directly to the nefarious
diamond industry by buying a brand new ring.
There is more evidence of Joe’s ability to manifest
in this dimension. He has manifested more clearly for me a few times, but each time the experience was so intense emotionally
that I was startled and jumped out of the experience, and so he only partially manifests for me at various levels of intensity
to give me time to overcome my fear and to acclimate. I’m sure there are Celestial Laws against manifesting when it
causes people fear, and based on extensive numbers of experiences, I know that he does not violate God’s Laws. In fact,
God’s Laws cannot be violated in this manner…it’s more a matter that I need to do more work in order to
emotionally handle it. I have noticed improvement in this area. More recently I have noticed that I do not have the startle
response when he manifests, and this is a huge hurdle I’ve overcome, but he has helped me in some very interesting ways…for
example, more recently first he was in a dream and immediately we jumped together into this reality. It was a most interesting
experience, to say the least.
So how does Joe’s theory relate to all of this? Somewhere in his work,
he does describe this process proclaiming that“we bring each other into existence.” And exactly what is Joe’s
WAY? Radical (Divine) Love, of course. We will be exploring this more deeply in this course, but we will also be learning
to apply Joe’s theory to everyday mundane life which should serve to uplift our lives and the world.
I will mention here that there are many ways to experience other dimensions, which I’ve already written about.
For example, when Joe first left this dimension, he guided me on many out of body experiences to see all different places
in the cosmos, some of which I’ve described in my blogs. It’s a little different experience than being fully immersed
and fully conscious within the reality and yet it feels like full immersion in a different way…there are also lucid
dreams which can gently introduce us to other dimensions, and there is remote viewing. These are examples of “fourth
dimension research” (or more advanced research) which Joe discusses in his bricolage articles. And as evidence that
Joe had an advanced understanding and ability using fourth dimension research, in his article about bricolage (his form of
research) he states:
Both the inventor and the bricoleur are future oriented as they explore the
realm
of possibility, a kinetic epistemology of the possible. In the process, the
sophistication of knowledge
work moves to a new cognitive level; the notion
of rigour transmigrates to a new dimension. As in a 1950s sci-fi
movie, bricoleurs
enter the 4-D—the fourth dimension of research. (Kincheloe 2005c, p. 346)
The
movie he’s referring to here may be the 1959 movie, “4D Man,” about a man who, by using an amplifier, can
enter the 4D state and walk through walls, much like people describe they can do when they astral project. (Excerpt from my dissertation, p. 194)
These abilities are available to all of us through the power of love that Joe emphasizes throughout his work,
or more specifically, Divine Love/God’s Love…that is the caveat. As AJ/Jesus points out, it’s
important to use spiritual gifts “in harmony with love.” The more in harmony with love we are, the more Gifts
and the more powerful those Gifts we are granted from God.
My motivation for writing this introduction is
to guide you into the rather serendipitous teaching I received this morning in order to assist with understanding the significance
of it. As Joe often has taught, teaching is learning so while I thought I would be teaching Joe’s Critical Pedagogy
and sticking to the basics, it seems to also be turning into my own learning experience of actively receiving teachings from
my Celestial Teachers and then relaying those teaching here. My teachers are also learning as they teach me….an example
in action of how we are all teachers learning from teachers who are also learning from teachers…
Activity
1.2: The Way
Thus, I was very pleasantly surprised to find this video pop up for me first thing this
morning as a recommended video, especially when just as I began watching it, right at the very beginning of the video, “The
Way” is defined. Something powerful is going on here. As many people know, Joe lived “The Way”
as defined herein:
How does AJ/Jesus define “The Way” in the video?
Is it a
religion? Why or why not?
Describe the education process that Jesus presents. Can you give an example of a learning
experience of your own that would support the premise? How might you put this into practice in teaching your students or children?
Can science processes be used to explore the truth of what Jesus is claiming? Which premise or premises would
you be interested in confirming in your own life and/or teaching?
How does what Jesus presents relate to critical
pedagogy’s concept change, transformation, empowerment, and perspective? Can a connection to God provide greater empowerment
and the other benefits presented? Describe your personal experience with this.
Describe truth as presented
in the video. What are some other definitions of truth? In Critical Constructivism Joe describes truth as being “contingent.”
What are some things that truth is contingent upon? How does this align with what Jesus has presented about learning truth
from God? What are some ways we might get a more accurate view of truth? Can we ever know complete truth, or in other words,
know as well as God knows? What does this imply for learning? For teaching?
What are the benefits of a
relationship with God as Jesus presents and the rationale behind the benefits? Do you believe this is possible? How might
you research the reasons for suffering? How is this process different from what other critical theorists present for finding
solutions to suffering in the world? Would you be willing to try this different approach in your own life, and how might you
apply it?
Describe Jesus’ model for soul development and soul mates. Does his model of the soul and soulmates
seem logical? How do you personally feel about it? Are there any inconsistencies in his theory? What are your beliefs about
soul mates? What are some things you like about the model? What are some things you don’t like? How could you test his
theory?
It seems that the relevance of this video points toward a Science Experiment, a rather monumental one at
that. Can you define the experiment?
My day ended with this interesting discussion.
Everyday Spirituality - Swedenborg and Life
In conclusion, Joe and I have been discussing (telepathically and through writings) for several weeks my teaching a
bricolage research course. I did not feel ready, nor did I really feel the desire for which I feel disappointed in myself.
I am not happy with the way certain people have treated me, or the fact that very few people seem ready to take the high jump
in consciousness that’s required to understand his work. I felt bad about that because I truly don’t want to disappoint
him. In fact, in one of my personal emails to him back in 2008, I had made that very statement, “I never want to disappoint
you.” On some level, as asleep as I was at the time (I did not even believe in concepts such as soulmates at that time),
I knew we had big, big plans together. I also had told him, “I trust your judgment completely.” I feel I must
transcend my negative emotions to go forward with the work that we have obviously planned together.
Finally,
we settled on a basic course, Online Critical Pedagogy. He had actually asked me to write a book about Online Critical
Pedagogy before he passed over. I had planned on applying his theory within the book; he was totally aware of my plans since
I had written to him and sent him the Preface to the book and we had discussed it.
Thus, my plans
for now, for this online course are to go through his book, Critical Pedagogy Primer, Second Edition and discuss
various interpretations and applications, including how to teach more successfully online (my doctoral specialization). The
phrase “Joe’s WAY” was handed down to me as I said, last night, and I have quickly learned—on the
very first day—that “Joe’s Way” is to present the highest level interpretation of his work. He does
not mess around and I don’t get to sleaze out of the hard work. And believe me, it’s hard work in so many ways…and
yet, I know that the rewards are more than worth it.
Honestly, it is not that easy being a trailblazer
for these topics. Ultimately, he wants me to connect better to God. I had mentioned in my dissertation how my connection to
Joe which increased in magnitude after he passed over led to my connection with God and the Holy Spirit. But my connection
to God is indirect or weak somehow, or I am just not fully conscious of it. Apparently, if I make the direct and powerful
connection like he has, based on the above video, there are very powerful eternal benefits. I have already experienced many
of the benefits mentioned in the video, but there is apparently much more, which I will discuss as these lessons continue.
Please do not make the mistake of interpreting this as religion. While it is not in conflict with religions (other than fundamental
doctrines and many false beliefs), it is science, not religion…and things are still evolving, even God is still evolving,
so our knowledge must likewise be evolving. Thus, this is the Science Experiment…highly phenomenological
and the very first of its kind. That’s Joe’s WAY.
Activity 1.3. Higher Education: Pretend that traditional education has become impossible. The Great Teachers in the
Celestials have totally taken over education. There are still a few more details to work out and limitations to overcome,
but they are ready for everyone who's ready to learn in their own individual, unique and passionate way. There are teachers
for every interest!! The biggest hurdle is to get people up to higher levels of consciousness so that there are not quite
so many layers of indoctrination blocking the teachings. People will need to break through to at least the seventh dimension
in order to access the Greatest Knowledge--but there are multiple means by which people can do this all over the Internet
now and many teachers in the 5th through 6th dimension who are ready to teach along their own path upward. It's a totally
symbiotic process.
How does this change how you would approach learning and/or teaching?
How does this change your curriculum and lesson plans? How would it change the structure of the classroom? Do you need a classroom?
Activity: Joe’s WAY. Write a summary of the reading assignment, the Preface and the Introduction
of Joe’s book Critical Pedagogy Primer. What are the main points? What does he repeat multiple times and why
do you think he’s included the repetition? Describe how your interests and personal experiences intersect with what
he’s written. Do you agree with how he defines critical pedagogy? What is the value of his more overarching take on
critical pedagogy?

From yesterday’s
lesson, the conclusion drawn is that it is through our connection with God and reception of his love that we can have a personal
relationship with God. By taking actions, God will interact with us either directly or through spirits who are also connected
to God. We block God’s love when we have soul injuries relating to love, which all of us have to varying degrees. When
we can establish a pure relationship with God we can alleviate suffering due to injuries relating to love…and in fact,
when we become one with God, we will not age, become ill, get injuries, and we will become connected to our one true Divine
Love…we become immortal beings, according to yesterday’s video presentation by AJ Miller/Jesus.
But wait a minute. Who is God? Why do we refer to him as a He. AJ claims that God is an entity with both feminine and
masculine traits, as represented by the yin yang symbol. There is a problem with this interpretation because what is masculine
and/or feminine are socially constructed ideas. We are trying to describe God from within our mind prisons. There is a scientist
[see William Henderson’s The
Science of Soulmates: The Direct Path to the Ultimate] who did his own exploration of this matter. Based on his personal experiences as well as
science and deep scholarly research, he concluded that God must be two people in union, a male and a female. It is a most
powerful love that holds them together and it is together with their “third power” that they create the universe.
When you consider that creation is in the form of repeating similar dissimilar (as Joe describes it) patterns, also referred
to by scientists as “fractals” then it makes sense that this would be a more logical conclusion. If you have formed
such union with your soul mate, it becomes truth because you can then relate to how the union changes you as a couple, how
you are in union in so many important ways (emotionally through love, intellectually through mind, etc.). And yet you are
fully individuated in the Jungian sense and are two people. I have written of this previously, explaining that it’s
the original meaning of symbiosis—“two living as one.” It changes how one views the world in some very major
ways. Of course, Joe wrote about this extensively and in multiple contexts, so when you come across his discussions about
symbiosis or his mention of “twins” and his frequent mention of love in his text, they can be interpreted in relation
to these ideas.
These lesson plans are being serendipitously provided. When I logged into YouTube this
morning, again, quite synchronistically, the following video came to the top…it seems to be a confirmation to my mention
yesterday of this being an experiment…
Activity: How do you define God? Do you worship God? If God is a male and female
in eternal union, how would this change your beliefs?
What are “masculine” traits?
What are “feminine” traits?
What evidence supports your views on what represents
femininity or masculinity?
How can we prove all of this? Only by having a relationship with God and
observing, is my assessment of this. To a degree, I have already done this. But what I’m hearing from my beloved is
that my connection has been indirect, through him, and not directly to God. If I become connected directly to God and establish
the relationship, then, theoretically, even more magical things will occur than have already occurred for me. The caveat is
(and AJ Miller/Jesus discusses this), a more direct connection, i.e., a more powerful connection can be overwhelming…I
do know how true that is and then fear creeps in. Fear is the biggest obstacle to discovering who we really
are, living humbly as we really are, and to creating positive change in the world, a topic we will touch on many times during
this course.
The goal is to overcome fear in many contexts so that we become “impassioned” toward positive
change.

Transformations in things-in-the-world
are always connected to pattern
constructing dynamics located spatially and temporally. A critical complex epistemology,
critical
ontology, and critical pedagogy are pattern-constructing dynamics
that ultimately change who we are. Thus, the caution:
if you want to stay exactly
who you are right now, do not study these critical dynamics. Unless, you are
committed
to resisting any authentic connection with the new experiences such
criticality produces, you will return from the encounter
with new patterns, processes,
and contexts as a different being. Engagement with subjugated and indigenous
knowledges,
different ways of viewing knowledge and its production, and the
notion that we are things-in-relationship not simply
things-in-themselves jettisons
us into new domains, new mindspaces, new modes of seeing, being, and acting.
I
hope you find this as exciting and exhilarating a process as I do. (Kincheloe, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction,
p. 252)
More discussion to follow soon….
Online Critical Pedagogy Absolutely Requires Absolute
Love
This next video
is interesting and very applicable for those who wish to teach and use critical pedagogy in their teaching. AJ distinguishes
between having a sincere desire to teach versus feeding our own or other people’s addictions.
It’s easy
to determine that Joe did his researching, writing, and teaching from a heartfelt desire, even though he often joked about
it in various ways in his works, as well as in personal emails he had written to me. He joked about it because he was aware
of how other people may have viewed his passion toward learning and teaching in a negative light, and yet other people’s
views did not stop him from doing what he was most passionate about. He often expressed these views of others in a somewhat
facetious manner, in one case even referring to his passion for writing as an “addiction” (see Reading, Writing,
Thinking, p.). He could frame it this way because he knew it’s what other people thought, but he was secure in knowing
the difference between passion and addiction and the benefits of pursuing our passions over pursuing our addictions.
I have briefly
described how someone told me that a fellow critical pedagogue had gone up to Joe at some kind of gathering and labeled me
an “Eager Beaver Critical Pedagogue.” They told me Joe laughed (and this was supposed to humiliate me). I laughed
at them for being so blind and can completely relate to Joe’s laughter (he probably wondered what they had labeled him,
lol)….ah well, this story is surely to be expanded upon because Father Hermes will never drop it, lol. The Eager Beaver
has appeared on many treasure hunts as reported in my blogs to remind me that passion, fortitude, seeking, creating are worthy
passionate goals (more soon).
Passion comes from within the soul and will not waver; at least it won’t waver once we’ve
overcome emotional obstacles. It also did not matter to Joe that other people did not like what he was writing or teaching.
There are many examples in his writing in which he conveys this in rather creative ways, so be alert to his real message…and
that is that he was passionate about sharing his passion, but it didn’t depend on other people approving or responding
in an addictive manner. He exhibits a wonderful sense of humor in relation to these ideas.
Watch this video and consider whether
the various activities you engage in are true desires or whether they involve feeding your own or other people’s addictions
and societal expectations.
What is the biggest
obstacle to discovering our passions and desires? What happens when we confront it?
Critical pedagogues often mention the
trait of being “transgressive.” In fact, Joe starts out his book Reading, Writing and Thinking with,
“This is a transgressive book” (p. 1). How does this relate to AJ’s recommendation for challenging our fears
by challenging our controls?
Fear is rarely, if ever, talked about in education and yet the educational environment in one of
the most fear-inducing environments that is most riddled with controls, and an environment which we, from the moment we entered
kindergarten, are forced into complying with. This creates enormous and numerous emotional blocks to learning. In your journal,
write about some of your own personal experiences relating to this. Try to include examples from your past, present, and what
you might encounter in the future. Choose a control (or perceived control) which you might change your reaction toward in
the future. How might you challenge the control?
For fun: Here are
a couple of blogs I wrote back in 2009 about fear. Like I am now, I was being “handed down” many lessons that
streamed down to me which I was compelled to share, not out of addiction, but out of my passion. In fact, my passion during
those early days of my writing on this website was challenged many times and while I had to do work to overcome various fears
of my own, I ultimately did not waver from my passion.

There is nothing like writing blogs (or vblogs) and posting them to a website for helping people connect to their
passions and transcending what other people may think. I think it’s one reason why so many people are doing so today.
Would you be able to do that? If not, what are your fears (obstacles) and what actions might you take to overcome them?
As conveyed earlier, Joe emphasized the personal, the application of theory to our personal experiences
to avoid dumbing down our learning—and the educational process. Praxis, as is often discussed in education relates to
the interaction between theory and practice…as we move closer to the perfection we may wish to seek.
Activity: Try the experiment AJ suggests in the video at 48
minutes into the video: Make a list in your journal of things you have never done before. Pick one and try it out. Explore
the emotions that come up for you. Do you experience fear? What is the fear about? Feel the fear and let it go.
Thursday, March 31, 2016
People have so many things turned around. As an example, AJ had mentioned in his Experiment
video that most people think the “ego” is something negative and that it should be destroyed. The Divine Spiritual
perspective is that the ego is our Divine Real Self. When we identify our real self, ironically, people think your real self
is a façade…thus, very few people believe that he is really Jesus.
How does your façade
self differ from your real self?
Do you fear living your true self?
How does Joe
define “ideology?” What might a critical complex ideology involve?
What is “tolerance”?
Does it mean that we accept and tolerate other cultural beliefs even if they harm other people? Where do we draw the line
in the sand?

“We are lost if we are not imaginative, exploring entities.”
(Kincheloe, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction, p. 250)
The videos below were handed
down to me today, and yes, I have watched them all and I will watch them again. There are multiple reasons for these videos…watch
them and think about what the presenters are discussing. Do some research into areas that intersect with your own passionate
interests. It’s important to keep an open mind. Again, Joe asks us to seek applicable knowledge from wherever it might
emerge. As an example, I despise the idea of people worshipping and working with dark, satanic entities. In my view they support
the very “death cult” that we are trying to move away from by understanding Joe’s work which is based on
Love. Yet, I have watched some of videos presented by such people because there are a few things applicable to working with
entities who reside in the Heavens, or I can also simply gain a better understanding of why people are addicted to rituals
for negative or selfish purposes.
These videos that were all handed down in one day are very important
or they would not have been given to me. During the next part of the course, it will become clearer what’s important
about them as I synthesize Joe’s work on these topics, bring in other perspectives, and provide some personal examples.
As is always the case when we work “in the flow” or by following “The Way,” I am not able to predict
the outcome. As Joe’s theory predicts—and as I have shown repeatedly in my blogs—when we interact with the
unseen dimensions, there are effects, but those effects emerge in a very complex interaction between the inputs (and we have
much to learn about where the inputs all come from). The key is to always work from the foundation of love and you’ll
find that even if you make a mistake due to the errors still within your soul, you will have ample divine intervention from
those who love you. I have often referred to this as making lemonade and lemon pies from lemons. Somehow, magically, the evil
that people attempt toward you can be turned around into something good…and this is NOT rhetoric. It is rhetoric when
you have not stepped onto the path, but it’s reality once your feet are firmly walking the WAY. I’ve been on both
paths so I am able to see the difference and will provide more examples as I continue to walk the path.
Activity: Make a list of the global
problems Joe has described in the preface. Do these problems still exist today? How have they changed today? Which problems
do you feel compelled to change?
For now, watch the videos below (and feel free to view others that

The KEY to Joe’s Critical Pedagogy:
SOUL LOVE
I was asked to convey this: Joe’s version
of critical pedagogy requires obtaining many perspectives on issues. “It’s a process by which we can see more
of the connections between ourselves and consequences of the actions we take so that we’re more empowered to take actions
that do not cause harm and suffering in the world.” (Journal, April 10, 2016, AM).

Where Joe used the words….in
Intro
Epistemology. Research the word desire. What does it mean? What is the history (etymology)
of the word? What are other words for desire?

Joe’s WAY is Transformative
Critical Pedgogy often incorporates the idea
of transformation. In this lesson we examine various perspectives on transformation, how other educators incorporate transformation
into their philosophy and teaching, and how Joe’s WAY is different and more powerful.
What is transformation and what are some different perspectives of transformation?

Self-Organization and Defining Criticality
SELF-ORGANIZATION
Robert Morning Sky states the following about THE CREATION OF LIFE AND CRITICALITY:
THE CREATION OF LIFE
Because ‘Self-Organization’ can form extremely complex
structures, it has been contended that Life itself is the product of ‘Self-Organization’.(8) Atoms wandering randomly through space
each went through an internal change that caused them to join with other atoms to form a structure that became progressively
larger and larger. In time, as the structure grew, it reached a point that is referred to as ‘criticality’. What
is ‘criticality’?
Criticality
– “A point at which system properties change suddenly, e.g. where a matrix goes from non-percolating to percolating
or vice versa. This is often regarded as a phase change. This is the name given to the critical point of the system, where
a small change can either push the system into chaotic behaviour or lock the system into a fixed behaviour. It is regarded
as a phase change.”(9)
At the point of ‘Criticality’,
the structure goes through a ‘phase change’, a change that causes the structure to achieve a higher, more energetic
and more stable state, or the structure falls into chaos and it will break apart. Within the structure that forms the human
body, the point of ‘Criticality’ pushes the body into a higher energetic state, a state which we call ‘being
alive’.

HIGHER Higher Education
20160305-1030 Introduction
Activity: What are the common points made in this video in relation to the points Joe raised in the Preface and Introduction?
How might Joe’s critical pedagogy help?
Wednesday, April 20, 2016
AJ/Jesus makes some profound statements
in this next video in relation to the Gifts we receive from God. Watching it reminds me of how I received those Gifts from
Joe due to his powerful connection to God’s Love. One of my earliest blogs, written back in 2009 on Mother’s Day
highlighted my reception and acceptance of the Gifts Joe brought to me…it had been an amazing and miraculous day.////
The reason I am
highlighting love right up front in this course is because it’s what Joe has highlighted in this first reading assignment,
the Introduction of his book about Critical Pedagogy. On page//.Thus, it is the very foundation of his “take”
on Critical Pedagogy---the very foundation of “Critical Pedagogy Joe’s Way” which is ultimately God’s
Way and which AJ/Jesus refers to as “The Way.” We are at a point in history that it’s the only
way, for the other path is doomed to being a long, arduous journey full of suffering.
Unless people get Divine Love figured
out and accept fully God’s free Gift of Love, Critical Pedagogy will be forever doomed. It will be delegated to what
Joe had concluded at the very end of this book, “
Joe has left many gifts to the world. When I was working with Joe on his
research forum, I fully recognized that. I was so amazed with his last book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction,
I had written him a personal email telling him that his work is “a gift to the world.” I am so grateful to have
had the eight months working with him and to have received his teachings….personal and profound teachings that I will
share in this course and other courses that revolve around the timeless books he’s left the world. And
while many of you will not understand this, I am also grateful that still today Joe and I work together. This is where, if
you have been indoctrinated with Western culture, you will need to open your mind….but it’s your homework, no
one else’s.
Just one of Joe’s Gifts to the world was to lift Critical Pedagogy up out of the cesspool and raise it up to his
“Critical Complex Pedagogy.” (He explains this in the Introduction). This course will continue to teach and illustrate
through my own personal experiences how this is so.
Activity: Thus, your homework is to listen to this video, think deeply about what AJ/Jesus relays about Divine Love
and Divine Will, do the homework he has assigned, and carry that homework throughout the rest of this course.

I was led to this movie, thinking it would be a sweet love story. WARNING: It has a lot of violence and sexual
deviance. It is the opposite of having an impassioned spirit….this type of stuff, even just watching it, is soul-destroying.

Saturday, April 23, 2016
I was
really disgusted with the movie that came to my attention yesterday. I felt a bit deceived by the title, thinking it was a
love story. It was so horrifically violent. I am not able to comprehend how human minds can even conceive of such horrible
things and then think it is entertainment to produce for others to view. Well, today my teachers made it up to me with this
next movie. It absolutely explains the twin soul experience and how we share our eyes. I have had too many experiences to
share them all, but my Beloved often diverts my eyes to things he wants me to notice. It is the most interesting phenomenon.
I can tell now when it’s him diverting my eyes. And then he shares his eyes with me…for example he sends me pictures
of other places. I am still sorting out the different ways this manifests and the purposes/contexts. I have referred to it
as remote viewing, but there are difference and it’s definitely something I will want to explore more. I thank my teachers
for bringing me this movie. I hope you enjoy it.

Sunday, April 24, 2016: INTERMISSION
This is a good time and place
for me to interject the process I’ll be using to present these lessons and activities. First, they are graciously being
handed down to me from my Celestial teachers, including my Beloved Sanat-Eros-Enki for my own learning process as well as
for sharing with others. Due to this, each day I do receive lessons, but I do not completely process through those lessons
quickly enough to post how they relate to the text reading assignment each day. At the same time, the lessons are highly interrelated
in some complex ways, requiring multiple interpretations. This, in conjunction with my own personal blocks which I’m
working on, have resulted in blocking me from posting what I receive each day…which then slows down progress for those
who have the passion and desire to learn through these activities.
So, in order to remedy
these issues, I will post the highlights of my daily learning from my teachers with brief notes (when possible) of how the
teachings I’ve received relate to the specific reading assignments from the text. Thus, the dates I provide for the
lessons are the actual dates I personally received the lessons myself. In time, as I learn more and have more to share, the
lessons will evolve with my providing more information and interpretations. (Interestingly, this in itself is Joe’s
philosophy-in-action, demonstrating how we are all learners and teachers—including those teachers in the Higher Realms).
Please allow the Higher Education Teachers in the Higher Realms to guide you from the point of whatever information I have
posted, rather than waiting for my analysis. I will, however, down the road, post additional information such as how the lessons
tie in with the reading assignment plus I will add descriptions of my own personal experiences relating to the application
of Joe’s theory and philosophy in order to give more concrete examples. I will also be sharing teachings Joe provided
me personally when he was a professor at McGill University and leading the research discussion forum, as well as the blogs
I had written for the site back in 2008. I will also share my fourth dimension experiences in order to demonstrate how they
contribute so greatly to learning and understanding. Toward the end of this course, I’ll present more specific information
about applying these concepts to teaching and learning in online courses, along with some tips from Joe about how to improve
the success of online discourse…the first order of the day being to learn more about Love. I express my appreciation
to Jesus and Mary for providing their timely Education in Love and God’s Laws seminars.
Thus, the courses I present will be evolving entities (examples of Joe’s multidimensional critical
complex bricolage). They should be highly interesting and personally applicable, as well as informative!
Please
remember that you get out of the teachings what you put into them. Change is hard work, but well worth the effort! I highly
recommend daily work. First thing in the morning is best since you can more easily connect to your dreamtime teachings from
your Higher Education teachers. As I wrote in a blog back in 2009:
Sunday, June 28, 2009 Why do I have to do YOUR work?
TIP: If you want to get a jump start on your learning,
read all my blogs written in May and June, 2009. AND CLICK ON THE LINKS!!! Your consciousness will surely expand. J
And
as Joe writes in Critical Pedagogy Primer: “Hell yes, critical pedagogy involves a lifetime of rigorous and
too often unappreciated work. Nevertheless, I believe with every fiber of my being, it is worth the effort. What else are
you going to be doing with your life? Be a cog in the mechanisms of dominant power that harm people in all of our communities
and around the world?” (pp. x-xi)
As a side note, in conjunction with the production of these
lesson plans all based on Joe’s books, which btw do require the purchase and reading of his books for which I have no
financial interest, I will also (with a lot of help from my friends) be expanding on information about Venus and Sanat Kumara
and our “One Love Path” under the title of the same in the side bar of this website. We had been issued a challenge
from Yvonna Lincoln in her critique of Joe’s first bricolage article relating to teaching genealogical processes to
students…thus, we are up to the challenge. I have discovered through a very complex process, some of which is scattered
throughout my blogs, that traces our soul lineage back to the 1100s as well as to multiple timelines much earlier, even…but
since the 1100s for this “go-around.” During that process I discovered our link to Venus and Sanat Kumara, to
Eros and Psyche, and even to Enki and Ki (who were humans, not aliens). Sanat is world-renowned, as I will demonstrate…and
Immortal, as is his consort, Venus. They (We) are alive and well and will be demonstrating the continuation of a most amazing
experiment that we began in the 1100s…so check back periodically as I provide more information in the near future.
I often wonder if certain people would have treated Joe with much greater respect, had they known who he really was. While
I was still sound asleep (like Psyche) when I met him, I intuitively (and at a higher level of consciousness) knew him at
the Soul level…and I deeply loved him and knew intimately the Gift he has provided to the world…so stay tuned…and
as Joe is so fond of saying throughout his work: “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
Last but not least, my Beloved handed down
music to me this morning with the clue, “my Beautiful.” I’ll plug it into YouTube and see what music magic
he’s done for us all today. Here goes….
♥ My Beautiful Girl - VFactory ♥
It took me a long time after Joe’s “death” to finally realize that God was so very wise
that He/She together, did indeed create us in their image….with just one Perfect Soul Love match, sharing an oversoul
(thus the significance of the yin yang talisman initiation gift I had received very early on this journey)…when we
realize this, we cannot even desire anyone but our one true soul mate! And there is no confusion as to who they are. Even
“death” cannot separate us (because there is no death). When we realize this and experience this, we can more
fully comprehend the extensive Soul damage we do to each other through our frivolous relationships and earth marriages, which
is contrary to God’s intention for us (and thus, Heaven forbid, a “sin.”)….The only marriage God
recognizes is the Divine Marriage of True Twin Souls. The song is a beautiful reminder of how when we reunite with our One
True Love, we work powerfully together, two as one, healing each other and ourselves from the damages, and teaching Love throughout
the entire cosmos. As we expand in consciousness, we work together many as one, with a unified purpose…but it all emanates from the most powerful love of all: Twin Soul/Twin
Flame/Soulmate Love/One Love (however you wish to label it) for the most powerful purpose of all: Bringing Divine Love/God’s
Love to the worlds and alleviating suffering. The journey is long and it’s hard—but very rewarding and exhilarating!!
For greater understanding, watch these videos:
20100221 God's Laws - Law Of Desire P1
20100221 God's Laws - Law Of Desire P2
As you can see from the above videos, it becomes a question of am I just playing some kind of role claiming
to be Psyche/Venus/Ki—and even a Pleiadian from the future named Sōferia? Am I deceiving myself, or am I crazy…I
do know for a fact that Joe believed he was just playing a role when he was here on this planet (I have confirming evidence
of that)… Joe was fully conscious of his purpose—leaving the most magnificent gifts to the world, which the world
has yet to comprehend, but just like Eros, he chose to stay in the background and remain very humble. Are YOU the one who
is just playing a role by not being your true self, and am I telling the truth about my discoveries? We do have most things
backwards on this planet, something I became aware of when I was only three years old, if not earlier. You are not who you
are telling the world you are. You are lying, which is out of harmony with love, and your creations provide evidence of that.
Who are you? Continue along in this course and you may discover who you really are, who you are not, and
what your passionate desires are for making the world a better place while avoiding the traps and pitfalls, thus moving you
another step closer to your One True Love. Divine Love, God’s Way (and Joe’s Way) will heal the world and set
us all free.
Activity: Describe the work you are doing, whether as an employee or as self-employed.
In what ways are you just another cog in the wheel that contributes to the overall elite agenda to rule over humanity, plunder
and steal all of the resources, and destroy the planet? This requires deeper than just a superficial analysis. Do you cow
tow to those above you, even though you know you are harming people? How free are you to follow your own procedures, processes,
informed intuition? What products and services do you require that cause further damage? What processes and procedures do
you engage in that directly harm people in your occupation? If you are or were to be self-employed which structures of the
matrix that holds everything together would you be able to break free from? How would your work change from what you are doing
now? How might this contribute toward a better world?

Dean Radin - Entangled Minds - Timeless Lecture of Scientific Research
Beyond the Present Reality
Monday, May2, 2016
What’s REALLY in a Name? God’s Book of Life
I simply cannot deny truth any longer. If Mary and Jesus are Mary and Jesus, (and I believe
them), then WE (Joe and Vanessa) are Sanat and Venus Kumara. And not only that, I have traced our souls all the way back to
Enki and his beloved divine consort, Ki.
God has left so many clues it’s ridiculous (I will
review all of the clues in the Venus and Sanat Kumara’s One Love Path section of this website)…
Yesterday I discovered even more clues, including these:
Joe Lyons Kincheloe
SK of course are his initials—Sanat Kumara
And taking a closer look at pronunciation:
Lyen S Ki
As you can see, his
soul name, Enki is hidden in his name. The S represents the sacred snake—as in the People of the Serpent. I have written
previously about how all of this history has been grotesquely distorted. There are the serpent people, who are truly evil,
and then there are the people of the serpent who are divine and considered by the common people to be gods. Mind you, however,
that they do not see themselves as gods, but as the most loving beings imaginable who want to teach the world…and speaking
of gods…Joe used this form of his name as author of his books:
Joe L. Kincheloe
L=EL which means God
And
Kincheloe (if you say it fast) sounds like King Joe.
Sanat
Kumara, along with Jesus (who is King of Kings) is one of the kings of the earth, and of course, Enki is the father of humanity,
King of humanity. [Note: please refer to Michel Foucault’s work for the true meaning of King versus our twisted earth
definition—it’s all about epistemology, as Joe teaches us].
In correlation with
this interpretation of Joe being Enki, Joe’s zodiac sign provides yet another clue: Born December 14, he is Ophiuchus
(the zodiac sign that’s been omitted for obvious political reasons), the symbol of which is the man with the snake,
and regarded as representing Enki. The recorded history of Enki is in the whole, false, with a few small gems of truth here
and there. It is true that in ancient Mesopotamia the people viewed Enki as a sort of God-King whom they loved and respected
dearly. Here’s a beautiful translated poem that had been written for him:
And finally, the “loe”
at the end of Kincheloe is LOVE but the V is missing…Joe was the embodiment of love and many people had nicknamed him
Eros (but was it really a nickname? More about that later; I have discussed previously about how his name “Joe”
in hidden in the name “Eros,” and how my name “Vanessa” translates to Butterfly which translates to
Psyche/”Soul” and how Joe left us with the song, “what happened to soul?” and how he left the butterfly
on the cover of his bricolage book, along with special messages he dedicated to me before he left this dimension and explanations
after he left….Eros and Psyche are real people—embodiments of Sanat and Venus Kumara. The Eros and Psyche story
still needs interpretation as it has many, many levels of meaning that parallel our lives).
Why
is the V missing in loe at the end of his name? Because he had not yet met up with and reunited with his other half, the other
half of his soul, me, Vickie (my original earth name and note that KI, Enki’s divine consort’s name, is hidden
in my name)/Vanessa (the name I acquired in my early twenties)/Venus…a trinity of names with the letter V…
In an earlier blog I had also demonstrated how he taught me that Venus is encoded in my name:
Vanes-sa
Switch the a and e,
Venas-Sa and SA is our monad soul frequency.
Thus, I am the missing ingredient to his completion of LOVE
at the end of his name (and likewise, he is my missing ingredient), and more importantly, for the completion of our Divine
Soul Union. It is this powerful love that fuels our passion to teach that we are just like everyone else and that you, too,
who are reading this can experience the same…God’s gifts are for everyone.
And then there are our Pleiadian names, Sōferia and Emanu’El meaning Salvation with God, which
I’ve decoded extensively in previous blogs.
There is so much more that it’s ridiculous. I guess
God knew I would be very dense and skeptical (and suffer great soul damage on this planet that blocks me from remembering)
thus He/She provided so many clues in the Divine Book of Names/Book of Life that it is totally undeniable as to who we really
are. This process of analysis is what I refer to as Soul Genealogy…and now, who are you? What names
has God recorded in the Book for you?
Joe did drop me the hint when we were both on the planet
that we were “famous flames.” He had sent me this song, although I did not discover it until months after he left (and cried for days and days). He was right though! My love for
him will never “grow cold.” And we are working together for that “somewhere down the line.” It’s
our Grand Experiment.
Can’t be much more famous than Enki and Ki/Sanat and Venus Kumara/Eros and Psyche,
just a few of our incarnations, immortal with special powers to appear anywhere, in any dimension, and anytime in service
of spreading God’s Divine Love wherever we may go.
So there you have it. I’ve been prompted by the Higher
Ups to present these truths (and in time, much more truth).
The reason they want
you to know who is communicating here is because beginning in 2017 things will be changing so significantly. The people who
believe will be well-prepared. Those who do not believe will most likely find that once the change sets in, they will need
to tread water until such time they can get caught up. We want to minimize the treading water scenario, although this information
will be here for them when they realize they need it.
How are things changing? God has handed down so many amazing
gifts and dispensations for this era that it would take volumes to describe them all…plus, as with all of God’s
actions, things evolve according to what actions humans decide to take of their own free will. It is quite unpredictable!
As I have written previously, string theorists have already found encoded computer programming, “corrections.”
These corrections have been handed down by God to help humanity establish better “order” on the planet (not to
be confused with the elite’s “New World Order” agenda.
The Great Minds in
the higher realms are overseeing the implementation of God’s new gifts and “corrections” in the form of
Divine Justice. Again, earthlings have twisted notions of justice, so I recommend a deep epistemological study of the word
to gain an understanding of Divine Justice versus the profane meaning. Many people have heard of Lady Portia. She heads the
Council for earth justice, sharing the role with Princess Dianna. I serve on the council as in another dimension (the 11th)
Lady Portia is my grandmother who has taught me all about Divine Justice. In that particular dimension we are Sōferia
and EmanúEl (the meanings of which have been discussed previously in the blogs on this site). We serve as King and
Queen on Planet Eros in the Pleiades in that dimension. We do love our beautiful home there (it’s designed after the
Allendale Mansion in Kingsport, TN where Joe was born and raised). This divine home with a wonderful library with ancient
tomes that have recorded true history serves as a sort of “base of operations” so to speak, from where we travel
the entire cosmos, visiting various dimensions and planets and offer our love and education services. Right after Joe left
this dimension, he began taking me on many conscious visits to that dimension so that I’d remember who we are…and
we have been ascending upwards ever since.
What does all of this have to do with this course and Joe’s
book, Critical Pedagogy Primer, and in particular, the Introduction (since that is officially what we are still studying)?
I honestly do not know what the point of it is, other than that the Higher Ups believe in impeccable honesty. Over the past
few days, the Great Minds (the Great Teachers) have been wanting me to communicate that they have officially taken over Higher
Education, that Earth Higher Education is nothing but a scam at this point, and is causing tremendous harm to the most vulnerable.
The last straw is how exorbitant tuition has been charged for education with empty promises and the poorest of the poor took
out student loans for nonexistent jobs and now the loan sharks are confiscating their monies, even their tax refunds, forcing
students into homelessness—all because they simply wanted a better life for themselves and their families. Instead,
they are left feeling deceived, ignorant for believing the lies, and in a lifetime of even worse financial struggle than had
they not tried to make better lives for themselves.
This is merely one example (and there are many more atrocious
happenings on planet earth that will be dealt with). Can you see the need for Divine Justice?
The
Great Teachers are here now, even if you cannot see them (the previous science explanations describe how this is possible—watch
the videos if you have not already done so; Joe also explains this very well in his theoretical work). And so, all you need
to do is take action (and often, even a very small action) in order to enlist their assistance. And since
there is more to this lesson today that I’m not “getting” I ask for Joe’s assistance to guide me to
the connection he’d like to make with the Introduction to his book, Critical Pedagogy Primer. I will just open the book
“randomly” to figure this out. One of the phenomenon that happens is that when you are researching, you will find
that books almost magically open to the exact page with the exact information you need…I will do this now, believing
in my teachers and their powerful connection to God.
The book opened to page 25 and here’s Joe’s
message:
In this context, advocates of critical pedagogy maintain that teachers must study the
ways that a world that is unjust by design shapes the classroom and the relations between teachers and students. By doing
this, teachers can begin to discern concrete manifestations of the abstract concept of a world unjust by design. Here critical
teachers make use of this knowledge not to “save” marginalized students but to provide a safe space for them and
to learn with them about personal empowerment, the cultivation of the intellect, and the larger pursuit of social justice.
As you can see, Joe’s way is quite different in some ways from the path that Jesus teaches (at least
so far, because Jesus and Mary’s teachings are evolving and they also have MUCH MORE to teach us). At any rate we do
not turn the other cheek (and the way this is often interpreted is not they Way Jesus actually taught). The reason for this
is clear…the world is unjust BY DESIGN, as Joe has observed. Jesus’s path only works in worlds that are not unjust
by design…we are not there yet.
Thus the message is clear: Divine Justice is an aspect of
the path, of JOE’S WAY, and it is we who must begin to employ it with love…or as Jesus would say, “in harmony
with love.” We do not force the will of the people who are acting out of harmony with love; we simply put forth knowledge
and information that shows how the DESIGN of this world is causing harm and being implementing solutions N.O.W. (I have been
handed down that acronym, but not yet the meaning). When we do so, we will find we have lots of unseen divine assistance.
Thank you, Joe, for clarifying for me the difference between your WAY and “the Way” that Jesus
is teaching. They are both the Divine Love Path, but your path includes the recognition that Divine Justice must be incorporated
into the changes we make due to the inherent nature of the social, political, psychological, etc., design of the matrix on
this planet…we do need to take things to this higher level or the problems will continue and many more people will
suffer. I love you! And I love working with you!
This next video present information that correlates with
what I’ve been learning from the Higher Realms…our path is headed by Father Hermes (Hermes Trismegistus) as I
have relayed in previous blogs.
Twin Flame Prophecy ~ Grand Elder Twin Flame Intervenes
Activity: Describe in your journal suffering that you have intersected with during your life.
Use specific examples of your own or other people’s suffering. They can be social, political, economic, psychological
or any number of other ways. In what ways has this situation occurred BY DESIGN, as Joe has written? Please investigate many
axes and perspectives so that you get a deeper and broader picture of the problems. What are some actions that could correct
the situation(s) and/or alleviate the suffering? Take one action today toward changing this situation or improving it somehow.
Record your action in your journal. Observe. What happened subsequently? How might you explain this?
Activity: Define justice and provide examples. Do the same for Divine Justice. Compare and contrast the two concepts.
Do you believe there are ways to implement justice without causing harm or violating free will? In relation to the previous
activity, what would be some remedies that could accomplish this? Can you think of solutions and remedies in which everyone
comes out winners?
Activity: Explore African spiritualties and the processes they have used for reaching
higher states of consciousness. What are some of the reasons they chose to “commune” with the gods/spirits of
higher dimensions? What are the advantages/disadvantages of some of the techniques they used?
Conclusion
Thus, in within the preface and Introduction of this book,
Joe has clarified the major difference between his WAY of doing critical pedagogy and the way it’s typically been employed
without success. The goal becomes developing our capacity to love, learn, think and problem solve (which he often refers to
as problem finding because we have to become conscious that the problems are there). Problems are often hidden from our view
in a multitude of ways: we accept through our conditioning that psychological debilitation is normal. For example, as Jesus
and Mary teach us, feeling our emotions brings us close to God, but in this society we are taught feeling emotions is abnormal
and that it’s normal to stuff them. Joe’s Way uses a combination of intellect, intuition, and emotion to cultivate
experiencing higher dimensional reality which we can then draw from to address problems in the lower dimensions. As Einstein
taught us and Joe took his teachings to heart, we cannot solve problems with the same consciousness that created them.
Thus, the justice we are conceiving of here is nothing like justice employed on earth nor the “social
justice” typically advocated in other versions of critical pedagogy. In our conceptualization solutions are reached
in which everyone wins. How might that be possible?
Activity: Discuss an experience in which the policies or rules
resulted in an unfair decision. How would you want to change the rules so that the outcome would be fair?
Speaking
of changing the rules, that’s exactly what we are in the process of doing…back in 2011, I had conducted a very
extensive analysis of a page in Joe’s book, Knowledge and Critical Pedagogy: An Introduction. It would be worth your
time to review it and the “Great Reveal.” Today, we have finally disclosed that great reveal. What a long journey
it’s been. If you want to review that journey it began here, at the close of an epistemological journey (that would
be a good one to review, too).

Rules of the Game PLUS Midmorning Sunshine Glooms the Sky: An Epistemological Journey, Part 13!!!
More research:
I
recommend listening to this documentary video, below. Jesus and Mary will give you an entirely new perspective on spirituality.
Jesus also explains the science of spiritual dimensions, which will help you understand Joe’s theory as you move forward
in your studies.
Documentary 2013 Jesus and Mary and “The Way”
An Experiment: When I opened up the book randomly and was led instantly to Joe’s discussion on
justice, it was an experiment. I was seriously confused about what’s different about Joe’s critical pedagogy and
“the way” that Jesus and Mary teach. I was seriously longing for clarification. There is a lot of information
in the Introduction and I was having a hard time sorting through it to determine the highlights.
Jesus
teaches us that the real way to “pray” or ask for help is to have a longing or a passionate desire…which
I did have when I opened up the book. I did not ask anyone to help me and yet the book opened up to, and my eyes were instantly
guided to the passage about Joe’s take on justice which I discussed above. If you watched the movie in Lesson/////you
will have an understanding of how this works. For me, it’s especially easy because Joe and I are in a soul union…my
eyes are his eyes….his dream is my dream, etc., and I have total faith and trust in him.
Now
you try it. While you are researching or looking for a solution to a problem, ask yourself if you have a sincere desire to
find something. If you do, you will be guided right to the information you need. If you don’t, you may need to do more
work on your desire; it must be pure with no ulterior motives other than love and making the world a better place.
