- This article is about centralized locations for group learning. For the article about the concept of "schooling," see Wikipedia's education article. For other uses of the word "school," see School (disambiguation).
A school refers to a place designated for group learning and to a community of students, teachers, and staff that engages in learning and teaching. In most first-world countries, schools are classified by the age level of student taught: primary school for younger students and secondary school for older ones. A university is also a school for the even older .
The word school may also designate any institution dedicated to learning within one particular field, such as a school of economics, a school of dance, or a school of journalism. Such a school may be part of a university (the Wharton School), an independent university in its own right (the Glasgow School of Art), or somewhere in between (the London School of Economics).

Field of all possibilities
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:00:00 +0100
Do you believe that once one has the ability to access this ocean of consciousness that one has the ability to manifest one’s own interactions with their surroundings? Meaning that, you know, this person is aware that they have tapped into this pool of consciousness, but it’s no longer limited to their own experience; it’s literally spilling out to the rest of their surroundings. It’s almost as if they’re already aware of what is going on, and [...]
Transcendental Meditation and consciousness expansion
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
You’ve mentioned the benefit of Transcendental Meditation as being like a sort of consciousness expansion. My question is: Do you think there’s any other way to induce that consciousness expansion, like illicit substances or art, or any other suggestions you might have? No. The thing is, there’s experience, there’s information, there’s intellectual knowledge. But consciousness isn’t an intellectual knowledge. Th [...]
World peace, war, and social mobility
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Fri, 12 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
I have a question regarding world peace: What do you think about war sometimes being a necessity for social mobility? This thing about world peace: I’ve heard that Maharishi had a technology to amplify, enliven, so much unity through a peace-creating group that it could bring harmony and coherence—real peace—to the world. And real peace is not just the absence of war. Real peace is the absence of those seeds of war—negativi [...]
Meditation and the story
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 03 Sep 2008 19:00:00 +0100
I have a question about story. When you’re in meditation, the process of story—does it come to you visually? When I watch your films, they are like a meditation to me. And you use colors, and you use rhythm, and you use timing, and you also—your stories are surprising and always revealing. And I wonder how your meditation influences you in that way, and how you convey that on the set to the actors—how do you all work together to bring that to light? [...]
What is the field of consciousness?
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Tue, 26 Aug 2008 19:00:00 +0100
Can you explain about consciousness? The field of consciousness, the field of pure consciousness, as explained by Dr. John Hagelin, is also known as the Unified Field—the Unified Field found at the base of all matter. And it’s found at the base of all mind, at the source of thought. And this Unified Field is also beyond space and time. It’s unbounded and eternal; it’s beyond duality. It’s oneness; it’s unity. An [...]
Drugs or meditation
sanunit@iowatelecom.net Wed, 20 Aug 2008 19:00:00 +0100
Have you ever used hallucinogenic drugs for inspiration, or have you done it entirely through meditation? I have smoked marijuana. But I don’t smoke it any more. And I was pretty lucky—and it’s a true thing. You know, I went to art school in the ’60s. So you can imagine what was going on. And yet my friends were the ones: they said, “No, no, no, David: don’t you take those drugs.”
