Indeed, even through medieval times all forms of European education were tied to some spiritual training. Education was considered important in inducing or otherwise facilitating harmony between a person and the world. The goal was to produce a person with a well-integrated relationship between thought and action. This idealized outcome was anticipated as following naturally from the right education. However, this socialization is only one dimension of education, a first step in a lifelong path of learning.
Right education causes change that in time creates a profound transformation of self.
This transformation is a dynamic creative process that brings anything but peace of mind, tranquillity, and harmonious adaptation. The exploration of self, and relationships to inner and outer entities, require a tearing apart to create a new order and higher level of consciousness. Harmony is achieved through such a process, but it lasts for only a short time before it has to be revised as people and their circumstances change. This is the endogenous dynamic of Tribal education. The process begins with a deep and abiding respect for the spirit of each child from before the moment of birth.
