Essence learning begins with a basic
premise:
"We learn from our experience of the world around us and
from the world as it appears in our consciousness and experience."
The former is our sense-world perceptions; the latter is a phenomenal-world
appearing, through our experience, in consciousness.
Essence Learning is an approach that builds a collective
picture of a person's essence through examination of primary
experiences. This approach is one of progressive, inner, reflective
awareness. Its chief characteristic is that it starts
with our whole, but vague, experiential awareness of a person
both in consciousness and in the situation. This provides
us with a partial glimpse of the whole person-situation. And
it, provides a template for discovering the essence of
the person. From here, we proceed, stepwise, to make our glimpses
complete or whole by continually deepening and sharpening our
inner awareness of our total experience relative to a phenomenal
learning situation involving the person in question. Finally,
with our sharpened inner awareness, we come
to realize our own essence as well. |
