Dr. Ramón Gallegos Nava is the author who has written the most about holistic education worldwide. The purpose of holistic education is the formation of compassionate human beings, who live in the flame of universal love which governs certain principles, thus seeking the integral formation of the human being, focusing on aspects of the intellectual, emotional, physical, and social center., aesthetic and spiritual. The perennial philosophy the fundamental aim is to find the divine part that every human being carries within, to really learn to find our true nature, understanding what is within us in order to be happy, we must also form learning communities already that in this way human beings can be better nourished.
Dr. Gallegos on the foundations of holistic education concluded that we all share certain universal principles that are central. Holistic education its objective as a new paradigm its focus on a whole integrity, spirituality encompasses everything in a whole. Holistic education is built disciplinarily, as for example psychology or academic sociology. With this type of education that we are generating there is a great transformation since the type of ideas that we are generating is very attractive for this time
It is clear that holistic education is entering an era of rebirth or transformation and that the type of ideas we are generating is very attractive at this time. It is not ruled out at all that a good academic work can be done solidified in holistic education, but also the new consciousness requires knowledge through the transcendent, the heart and the transnational thing that is rarely done in the academic world, in such a way How holistic education has developed in a different way from the educational philosophies of the past. When a model replaces reality then we call it ideology, the point of view that we adopt about the world is always limited because we previously gave it an intellectual structure that prevents us from seeing the big picture.
We need models and paradigms but at the same time we need freedom from them, the point is that we can be models and paradigms but not be hostages to them, we must maintain the freedom to be able to change and to function without falling into what Kuhn calls a paradigmatic fixation then, the development of holistic education construction models must be seen as operationally valuable instruments and nothing else.
Well there is talk of a social change that holistic education should promote, but towards where towards what type of society, I think we should have a very clear image of what type of society we want, I believe that society is the one that inspires holistic education, not It is present in classical sociologists, nor is it present in critical theory. I think that the vision of holistic education is indeed a sustainable society. One of the characteristics of holistic educators is an interest in all humanity, we can see ourselves as Australians or Mexicans but we can also see ourselves at another level where there are no national differences to the great dilemmas of our time requires a global vision of all beings human and I think this is a very own vision of holistic education.
In Mexico a large number of people who are not educators by profession but are in other professions but interested in holistic education because they can apply it in any professional or human field, this is how holistic education has developed in Mexico and then has shocked the entire world.
In the book "The spirit of education", Dr. Ramón Gallegos points out that one of the objectives of holistic education is to create a new consciousness that goes beyond the mechanistic and is a means to establish an internal order allowing the humanity take a new evolutionary step advancing in its superior stage of development since education is integral it must nurture the best to the spirit in all aspects, from the noblest and best aspects of each student, each experience must be an opportunity to display the holistic intelligence one of the obstacles that prevents a comprehensive education is the belief of an absolute power in mechanistic science the current type of education is designed on those mechanistic principles,One of the problems that is seen is the inappropriate use of knowledge for destructive purposes, for which educational integrity is one of the proposals and is found in holistic education, achieving integrity through diversity is found in the different styles of learning.
In the book "The education of the heart", he tells us about the twelve principles on which holistic education is based, about that we must be aware of our own nature, that spirituality exists in each of us, cultivate human relationships, we must learn to live with responsibility, holistic education is something for our whole life and an alternative to develop skills to achieve success, it is a new change of educational paradigm and these principles can be used at all educational levels so that they can really Be a holistic learning community and they will only have to be put into practice in order to see results as they serve as a guide to work more clearly and this can be done through the learning communities.
Holistic education, the integrative vision is a way of forming integral beings, which includes all cultures and at the same time a means to nurture the spirituality that each human being has through dialogue with love, tolerance, since the mechanistic paradigm it only leads us to compete, to confrontation and envy among ourselves without understanding others, it leads us to act in a selfish way and regardless of the pain of our fellow men and what is sought with this new vision is to achieve change under principles mentality and really resurfaces the values of the student improving in all areas as it is based on this type of education what you are looking for is universal love for this you have to create awareness of how to act so as not to harm others,the relationship between subject-subject must be sought and for this understanding is necessary so that a change can really take place and an integration of all this can take place and thus real education within educational institutions.
Learning to be about perennial philosophy in the best way to achieve fulfillment and happiness, through the recognition of true nature, through learning to be establishes a relationship between holistic education and perennial philosophy, education Holistic is a means by which one advances to levels of consciousness. The first thing is to change within the dynamic spiral so that in this way it contributes to the evolution of our consciousness and what comes to be learning to be is that a development arises in what spiritual that leads us to be universal beings, through the recognition of our true nature, so that a new one can be born that expresses itself through peace, freedom and this philosophy helps this to be carried out as we seek a life where tranquility reigns more,love both philosophies must be integrated.
Learning communities in dialogue what to look for as through this, what are the values are fostered and a common purpose is developed so that we will all speak the same language and work in an integral way, ensuring that each one gains learning together, cooperating to achieve a common goal where each one exposes his or her particular vision and takes the proposal that predominates the most through a debate, holistic education is seeking sustainable development, where everyone should take into account and not no one should be excluded there should be more flexibility,ability to adapt since it is an alternative that can be applied to any culture or social circumstance since one of the roles that is played is diversity represents one of the ways in which we approach comprehensive learning is to recognize the importance of diversity of intelligences, learning styles since what is sought is that we all win and it is also better managed the human being cannot be under standardized measures, the development of his own creativity must be sought, not all of us learn in the same way or by At the same time, since this type of education becomes a process of evolution in our consciousness, seeking the formation of integral human beings, through which the spirit of the human being can be better nourished, such as peace, tolerance, patience and democracy.And its main root is based on what is spirituality does not refer to what are religious beliefs but is the experience of the whole through a connection with the kosmos.
In the book "Wisdom, Love and Compassion", Dr.Ramón Gallegos points out that hatred must be rooted in peace, we can no longer be using education as a method, in reality it tends to be more complex, it tends to be relative, since efficiency will depend on learning conditions as they arise. That greater diversity is found within it, but knowing how to apply the best method, the most appropriate for each case, especially for this, it is necessary to have various methods that allow us at a given moment to be able to act depending on the circumstance that arises and seek to break all those imposed ideas and the student is able to decide for himself I feel more aware of it feeling more free of his feeling and act making aware of it it is urgent that a change be made a transformation in society since it is necessary in all of hisareas have a different vision in terms of things and also something very important the divine in the human being since it is not covered by the material only spirituality has the capacity for harmony and love within each human being, the problems of the human being lies in time and this comes from thought, so it is necessary for a change to really arise through an effort in a conscious way that comes to be a psychological transformation and for this an effort will be necessary, Time and will we can achieve what we set out to do in life and for this, directed attention is required to really discover what happens in our psyches and be able to settle it through the observation of our fears,the reason for them to be able to remove those barriers that harm us for growth as human beings, if we are doing a certain job we must be physically and mentally to be able to live the moment that corresponds to us with full attention living the present not even in the past or future since it will not take us anywhere it is really necessary to be more aware, we must have a more integrative vision since it will be the one that will put us in contact with spirituality within holistic education the first thing we must do is try the student really as a human being and in all the areas that we have to develop, we also know.If we are carrying out a certain task we must be physically and mentally to be able to live the moment that corresponds to us with full attention living the present not being either in the past or future since it will not take us anywhere it is really necessary to be more aware, we must to have a more integrative vision since it will be the one that will put us in contact with spirituality within holistic education, the first thing we must do is treat the student really as a human being and in all areas that we have to develop we also know.If we are carrying out a certain task we must be physically and mentally to be able to live the moment that corresponds to us with full attention living the present not being either in the past or future since it will not take us anywhere it is really necessary to be more aware, we must to have a more integrative vision since it will be the one that will put us in contact with spirituality within holistic education, the first thing we must do is treat the student really as a human being and in all areas that we have to develop we also know.We must have a more integrative vision since it will be the one that will put us in contact with spirituality within holistic education.

The path of perennial philosophy is a teaching on the identity of our being shows us that conditions are possible through understanding as well as to achieve the enlightenment that we are all looking for through meditation is indicating the path that we must follow there are several paths by which we can get but which also tends to confuse us and this is due to the great need for finding peace but at the same time that we feel confused there is also something that gives us strength to find spirituality, we need to discover in ourselves that evidence and really see it clearly.Later we will be able to get to know each other, although it will be necessary once we recognize what we are, to have the will to be able to control ourselves and calm down to achieve the triumph. discernment but we will not really end there the continuous struggle along the way so that it can be transcended in order to achieve enlightenment, this implies a series of dangers, nobody can do that work for us since experiencing it only directly there will be a transformation This requires an open and sincere attitude to learn.there must be a unity with all things serene thought through discernment but we will not really end there the continuous struggle along the way so that it can be transcended in order to achieve enlightenment, this implies a series of dangers, nobody can do that work for us since experiencing it only directly there will be a transformation for this requires an open and sincere attitude to learn.there must be a unity with all things calm thought through discernment but we will not really end there the continuous struggle along the way so that it can be transcended in order to achieve enlightenment, this implies a series of dangers, nobody can do that work for us since experiencing it only directly will be a transformation for this requires an open and sincere attitude to learn.
In the book "Education and Spirituality", Dr. Ramón Gallegos tells us that it is of great importance that spirituality is integrated into education so that a development in consciousness can really take place and one can live in harmony and power to understand ourselves better since it helps us to mature free from all fears, dependencies and ignorance and for this discernment is necessary only clarifying the conscience to be able to be autonomous and conscious since a religion makes us dependent.Spirituality is based on mindfulness and we are responsible for our actions, true spirituality has nothing to do with any commitment that has to do with any religious cult when there is no connection with the spiritual is when we feel empty and become a problem for society we cannot leave spirituality out of our lives since without it we are lost it is also the means by which we can form an education in a comprehensive way the new education must train professionals who are capable of solving problems the problems of the society where harmony prevails in its entirety, the holistic educator does not arise from the tools he uses or from the accumulation of knowledge that he has, but comes from the internal order and the experience of his spirituality withinFive frictions can be found in education, which are the following: the first is the administrative reform that consists of improving education, institutional administration, and the second is the improvement of cognitive skills through the development of new mental maps, the third is of the standardized indicators, the fourth is in relation to information, the fifth is technology having the idea that it will make us smarter everything is a big mistake since not only will this be achieved is having greater control over the human being and greater conditioning to rules but no favorable change will actually arise.The first is the administrative reform that consists of improving education, institutional administration, the second is the improvement of cognitive skills through the development of new mental maps, the third is of standardized indicators, the fourth is in relation to information, the fifth is technology, having the idea that it will make us smarter, everything is a big mistake since not only will this be achieved is having greater control over the human being and greater conditioning to rules, but no change will actually arise favorable.The first is the administrative reform that consists of improving education, institutional administration, the second is the improvement of cognitive skills through the development of new mental maps, the third is of standardized indicators, the fourth is in relation to information, the fifth is technology, having the idea that it will make us smarter, everything is a big mistake since not only will this be achieved is having greater control over the human being and greater conditioning to rules, but no change will actually arise favorable.the fifth is technology having the idea that it will make us smarter everything is a big mistake since not only will this be achieved is having greater control over the human being and greater conditioning to rules but no favorable change will actually arise.the fifth is technology having the idea that it will make us smarter everything is a big mistake since not only will this be achieved is having greater control over the human being and greater conditioning to rules but no favorable change will actually arise.
Dr. Ramón Gallegos Nava tells us in his books that spiritual intelligence is the one that is based on wisdom, it is the one that increases the integrity of our consciousness so that we can harmoniously relate to the whole, it is the way we successfully confront and give meaning to our life having the ability to overcome any suffering, intelligence that is not based on what is spiritual intelligence is a job that in reality will not see changes has been given greater importance within holistic education and which is a very important factor for the evolution of consciousness,It is an alternative through a study that was carried out at Harvard University which was called "theory of multiple intelligences" where as a result it was recognized that there are eight types of intelligences which are based on reasoning, the ability to express of communication, ability to be able to harmonize, ability to harmonize the body, another based on the ability of visual arts training, ability to be able to relate to others, understand the internal aspects of the person that refers to the inner state and finally knowing how to relate to nature, with this theory allowed to go beyond the traditional.another based on the ability of visual arts training, ability to relate to others, understand the internal aspects of the person that refers to the inner state and finally knowing how to relate to nature, with this theory allowed to go beyond the traditional.another based on the ability of visual arts training, ability to relate to others, understand the internal aspects of the person that refers to the inner state and finally knowing how to relate to nature, with this theory allowed to go beyond the traditional.
Spirituality can not only be seen from the point of view of religious beliefs but directly experience the transcendental and to awaken spirituality it will not depend on a certain time but rather how sincere with ourselves and with others we must develop love in us only in this way we will act honestly before others, spiritual intelligence is one of the most important since it is a higher level so it is necessary that we discover it because it comes to solve the problems with which we carry, There are three challenges that a human being faces. The material, social and spiritual, but in reality spirituality is the only one that can help us release what our fears are,dependencies since it gives us the power to be able to trust all this through an interior work and for this it is necessary that discernment is based on certain principles which are: it is better to give love than hate since love heals us It makes us happy, it is better to always tell the truth than a lie since it takes away our conditioning once we act responsibly, good is better than evil since through it we sow harmony and it is what we will reap later and it takes away from us. Ignorance, balances are better than extremes, since extremes lead us to suffer inattention and tension and do not allow us to have a balanced mind to understand how we can balance our existence in order to improve, it is better to give than to receive.
Since it is a way of how we can actually find ourselves but without expecting anything from others. Peace is better than violence, it is an internal state that has to do with balance, however violence tends to suffering and destruction. Attention is better than neglect, which consists in being able to really be in the present, observing ourselves and really knowing ourselves, realizing the reality that we are living, neglect, the only thing that leads us to laziness. Happiness is better than suffering, it is realizing our nature that we suffer but that we can overcome it and be happy despite any circumstance that we are going through without being affected by the environment since it is a state of being and it is a natural state, we are spiritual beings.
conclusion
It is a great responsibility that we have as educators, since knowing about holistic education we must put everything that is on our side one to be better as people and this we will reflect both in the family, work and in the whole environment through go internalize and get to know each other more, give the student a pleasant treatment to make them be beings with spiritual values and know how to find the skills of each one of them giving them our support, love and understanding at all times.
In order for this to happen, it is first necessary to be aware of our daily actions so that little by little we can grow internally, but in the end, everything lies in the heart since with love we can achieve what we set out to do in our lives, properly applying also the principles that govern holistic education.
