Hi Uber,

Exactly. Students are commodities and they don't know it. I guess that's why they are in school. Maybe gas stations should be universities? It could happen.

Hi Em,

I am happy that those professors are not in charge of teaching us soul - we would be in trouble. ;D

I am so with you on this. It's a marketing strategy and nothing more--like gas stations handing out free coffee mugs with their names plastered over it.

I completely agree with you. Honorary degrees boggle my mind and drive me insane. If I am ever offered one, I have already decided to refuse.

Personally, I have a degree from an Ivy League school and a state school. I learned much more in the state school. The Ivy League professors were very focused on their latest publications and were, quite honestly, not very good teachers.

Most of all, though, I agree that "soul learning" is the only learning that is worth anything at all. :)

Action is certainly a key to higher education. But often by doing less, one rediscovers more.

In the activity of working towards a goal, one may find that one can go on working to accumulate knowledge for eternity. Knowledge is endless and may get you nowhere, which is oddly the place that many will find the deepest and most profound answers to life's questions.

The idea of earning something is just that....an idea. If we stop working and stop trying to earn points, then we relax into emptiness which brings us with ease to anyplace we wish to be without even trying. Work and effort are therefore transcended.
