Special Notice To Readers
This newsletter is the third in a series of newsletters written
and published by the Gentle Wind School. We are a group of
researchers who have been studying the human consciousness,
particularly the mental and emotional systems, for the past seven
years. In the course of our research, we discovered that the most
serious forms of irreparable, psychological harm that have been done
to people in American society were not done to them in their homes or
by their parents, but were, in fact, done to them in school. These
newsletters contain a few simple statements about what we have
discovered, and what we, as researchers, believe to be true about the
current educational system. However, it should be noted that what we
have said does not begin to describe the seriousness or depth of
destruction and harm that has taken place in the name of education,
and that continues to occur every day in classrooms throughout this
country.
These newsletters have been written in natural, sequential order
because our research shows that the natural learning systems in all
human beings require that information be received according to what
would best be described as natural, logical occurrence. Modern
education pays no attention to how people learn. Information is
presented out of context and out of order with no logical connection
to reality. Subjects are offered to children as a series of unrelated
data bits.
Real life exists on a continuum, where everything is logically
connected and related to everything else. Like life, these
newsletters were written on a continuum. They were meant to be read
in their natural, logical order. Therefore, if you have not read
newsletter Numbers 1 and 2, STOP RIGHT HERE. Call or write to the
Gentle Wind School, and request copies of Numbers 1 and 2, and
preserve your system of natural, logical occurrence. There is no
charge for these newsletters, although donations are needed and
welcomed.
If you absolutely must read this newsletter right now, and a
stampeding herd of wild horses could not hold you back, then go
ahead. But call or write to the Gentle Wind School and obtain a copy
of Numbers 1 and 2. Read Numbers 1 and 2 and then go back and read
Number 3 again, so that this information can be received on a
continuum. Our address is located on page 35 of this newsletter.

Reality Is What It Is
Now that you have read these newsletters and we have apologized
for their seeming negative, we can tell you that these newsletters
are neither positive nor negative. Reality is what it is. If you like
it here in the physical world, that is, if you like things the way
they are, then you will not like these newsletters. If you dislike
the way things are here in the physical world, then you will like
these newsletters. If you are indifferent to these newsletters, then
you can hold yourself up as an example of what education has done for
humanity!
