Even today money is paid to young people who master the technique of reciting long lists of such answers. The dominant focus is upon accurate recitation of the correct answer in much the same way as the modern computer is expected to retrieve stored information without failure. With such a focus upon doctrine it was natural that there will be a fragmentation of the fellowship of those who live by faith; fragmentation into groups that recited different answers to like or different questions. The test of personal acceptability naturally came to depend upon the accurate recitation of correct answers to correct questions. The natural consequence has been estrangement and alienation. The scientific experimental way of seeking truth introduced a challenge to the way of recitation of authoritative answers to questions regarding hope and meaning in death and life. The democratic form of government introduced a challenge to the way of royalty and dictators. The capitalist economy introduced a challenge to former ways of distributing rights to the necessities of life. Yet, today we find in science courses that recitation of theory, with out familiarity with reality, to be quite common. We find leaders at the highest levels of government reciting their commitment to high ideals. We find businessmen reciting out-of-date capitalist theory, as if it was eternal, rather than pragmatic. Education is not the training of youth to recite. Education is the enabling of youth to become themselves in their own unique way --- with personal integrity and faithfulness to their own knowledge of their own emotional responses to reality. Recitation regarding that which has in no way touched one's life is a deadly game, a game which can do great violence to the self-image of the players. They may cease to live as they lose by touch with their deeper natures---in spending their limited time on recitations of that which they know not, and understand not. (c) 1999 by Paul A.
