Soulagogy

Soulagogy: to lead the soul /A new term by Nir Golan

Soul or psyche (Greek: "psyühē", of "psychein", "to breathe") are the mental abilities of a living being: reason, character, feeling, consciousness, memory, perception, thinking, etc. Agogy (Greek: ἄγω ágō), "I lead", to lead. Soulagogy: to lead the soul, means: Educating the soul. 

Golan suggests that Soulagogy: Education of the Soul, according to Swarm Learning model, is that process by which thought is opened out of the soul, and associated with outward things in Participating phase. The Dobeing is reflected back upon itself, and thus made conscious of its reality and shape. It is the first time that the student deals with his own Dobeing and it continues till the end of the Swarm Learning model. This Doing identification process occurs during the participating phase. The result of this phase is Dobeing Self-Realization. As a means, therefore, of educating the soul out of itself, and mirroring forth its ideas, the external world offers the materials for this process. The materials and outward things are the setting of the Participating step.

While the Searching phase, the dim glass is reviled in which the senses are first called to display the soul-Dobeing, until, aided by the keener state of imagination. It separates those outward types of itself from their sensual connection, in its own bright mirror recognizes again itself, as a distinctive Dobeing in space and time, but out of it in existence, and painting itself upon these, as emblems of its inner and super-sensual life which no outward thing can fully portray.

In the Naming stage a language is to be instituted between [the child’s] spirit and the surrounding scene of things in which he dwells. He, who is seeking to know his Dobeing in the Searching phase, should be ever seeking himself in external things in the Naming phase, and by so doing will he be best able to find, and explore his inmost light in the Adaptive Learning phase.
