Scientific Management is the core philosophy behind currents modes of Governance, manufacturing and Compulsion State Education.

Underlying this philosophy is the inherent 'right' of adults to control children; this in it self is an offshoot of the concept of 'tabula rasa', the child as a blank slate upon which adults write a script for life.

Behind this is the concept of 'original sin', the wild and destructive 'id' or devil within the child.... all profound expressions of mistrust of the child.

The extent to which this influences how we think, how we feel and how we cat is immense, and at the basis for 'civilisation'.

We will of course protect ourselves from the hidden knowledge of our childhood experiences by rationalisations of our behaviour with regard to controlling children, because the natural child we meet in our own children flags up the old hidden knowledge of the wounds that were inflicted upon us by adults -most parents ARE well meaning, yet are unwittingly enrolled in 'teaching' the rules of society, such as 'authority' and all that comes with that, partly out of concern that the child is well equipped to live in this 'civilisation' under authority, partly out of the dynamic I am talking about.

My own experience was that once I was able to separate my childhood issues from my children, I was able to notice when it was kicking in and to stop, and allow the natural child in my children to freely express and I would later on take time to reflect within myself, and look to feel and understand and empathise with the little child Corneilius...

This process I used often and use today to look into out of kilter reactions, and to slowly heal the wounds.

I make a clear distinction between behaviour that causes visible distress and harm and that which is subtle.

The harmful requires accountability, the subtle requires compassion and empathy.
