Translation®: Finding It's Roots

Translation® is rooted in Classical Education. Classical Education was once available and could be afforded by a class of people, called the Freemen. In ancient Greece and Rome, a Freemen was a person who was entitled to full political, civil, and human rights within ancient Greece and Rome society. In other words, a person who was not a slave.

“Not A Slave,” Now that says more than you think it does upon first reading those words. Consider what we know of ourselves and others today. If we are not working with tools like Translation™ or something comparable, then we are not freemen but slaves to our unconscious construct fields in how we live our daily lives.

In the classical world of ancient Greece, the study of Trivium, which was an investigation of grammar, logic, rhetoric, which then would be follow by Quadrivium, the study of the four pillars of education called the mathematical and scientific disciplines: arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy. These studies were the key component of what is called a “classical” liberal arts education and was purported to be the way of a deeper understanding of the nature of reality through numbers, space, time, and movement.

These studies were related to a greater understanding of Cosmic Principles. In ancient studies this greater understanding was called the ordering of the soul, which was considered the highest of all pursuits in education. Of course, the classical understanding of the soul is not the same as what the educational system of today would have us believe, but the principle still applies. The highest form of Classical learning was oriented to the highest of all pursuits Truth. This Truth was sometimes referred to as Gods, or Divine Mind, or today as Consciousness Conscious of Consciousness. This form of education was embedded within the classical form of education.

Today, in an education designed for the general public, we find teaching regulated to obedience to authority. A "By the rote" method, meaning memorizing and repeating something, often without understanding its meaning, done in a mechanical or routine way. Thus, to repeat after the teacher, to repeat what is in the textbook. The key objectives of this type of education are three fold to Repeat, Follow, Obey. With little to no teaching in how to consider, question or think.

The Schools that do follow classical education are usually expensive, or hard to find. There is what are also called alternative educational places of learning such as The Prosperos School of Ontology, that teach a form of the Classical Trivium and Quadrivium meaning the curriculum employs studies in logic and language rhetoric and the Pursuits Truth. These studies are in a self-paced learning style, and are geared towards freeing one of unconscious programing and being in the pursuits deeper understanding of the nature of reality.

At the Elite Schools, that teaches classic studies i.e. abstract reasoning, problem-solving, and communication skills along with history, literature, art, and philosophy. Their curriculum’s focus is on how a student can think, lead, and persuade. It is to foster people who’s station in life are going to be leaders or in the managerial class, which is in contrast with basic educational institutions who’s focus is on preparing students to be the worker class.

In the Prosperos, the use of Translation®, like classical Trivium, is to develop well-rounded individuals who can think critically and communicate effectively, with themselves consciously, thereby with others performing effectively. A preparation for the student not to be a unconscious reactionary participants in the world around them and to operate from principal and self awareness.

Translation®, if used properly, provides a framework for learning that can free one of unconscious programing, and as a bonus can emphasize both knowledge understanding and intellectual development.

Yet more importantly, like its Classical counterpart, Prosperos learning is oriented to Truth, the Truth of the I Am, sometimes referred to as God, or Divine Mind or Consciousness Conscious of Consciousness, and in uncovering Your role in the Cosmos.

If the question “Is there more to life?”, have crossed your mind, then you might want to avail yourself to this type of study.

For a preview of this type of learning, you can join us at the Prosperos Assembly 2025 in San Diego, September 05-08, 2025.
