Exceptional Education is a philosophy of progressivism. It is a progressive method of teaching in education with a structured order and system of Spiritual Education, Physical Education, Moral Education, Social Education and Academic Education of teaching and learning, which objectively strives to create greater human beings who are capable of achieving felicity.

Exceptional Education is a progressive system of teaching and learning. Progressive education as defined by the philosophy of Nungkyyii is permanent and continuous learning and its amelioration from womb to tomb. It is an experience forever aimed at progressing the human mind. Progressive education mandates progressivism in all of its aspects; progressive teachers, students and parents; also a progressive family and community – all of which is governed by a progressive philosophy.

The idea of Exceptional Education was to create a system of knowledge that would help advance humanity in its process of evolution by cultivating the individual spiritually, physically, morally, socially and academically; an idea, which includes the development of the body, mind and the soul. Its main objective is "the happiness of the child."

Since the reality of the spirit world exist beyond the physical senses, human consciousness must be exalted to the spiritual realm of reality. Therefore Exceptional Education initiates its system with a Spiritual Education as the most important knowledge in human learning.

The philosophy of Nungkyyii teaches that as human beings we share the same universal spirit of life. This infinite energy of supreme intelligence permeates all existence. We humans are fractions of this omnipotent whole. We each possess a soul that is distinct by its individual characteristic, physical form of residence and destined expression. The soul is the essence of human life as a permeating energy that penetrates the different grades of the body's matter. This soul penetration creates several different planes of human existence. The two planes that are of greatest concern are the ego and the personality. The ego represents the initial stage of human consciousness. It is the reality that we call me or I. The ego develops greater levels of consciousness as we distinguish the self from its surroundings. Greater levels of self-consciousness add greater levels of empowerment to the ego. The personality is the vehicle of expression of the ego. The ego develops a bonding relationship with the nervous system through the physical senses and takes control of the behavior of the human being. As the ego gains greater consciousness it gains awareness of the forces of will and desire, then learns to manipulate these human forces toward the accomplishment of its pleasure and satisfaction. The ego is conditioned by the cycles of pain and pleasure. In manipulating the will, desire and personality toward the achievements of pleasure and satisfaction, pain becomes an undesirable part of reality and the ego goes out of its way to avoid its presence at any expense. The ego's repulsive reaction toward pain eventually distorts reality and offsets equilibrium between the brain's receptive and repulsive regions. This results in mental disorder and the internal system of the human being begins to break down and self-destruct. The unconscious neglect of the obedience of spiritual laws and lack of direction of spiritual order by human beings results in spiritual illness. Spiritual illness takes atrophy upon the brain causing mental illness. And mental illness proceeds to physical illness in a form most often diagnosed as cancer. At this stage in life the human being is in serious trouble. His or her situation and the condition of health are beyond the physician's knowledge and incurable by the magic of medicine. The ego now has become incompetent in directing the personality and serving the body positively and constructively. Now the individual is in desperate need of a spiritual transformation. Balance must be restored in the brain's cycles of pain and pleasure; behavior must be modified; thought must be reconstructed and the spirit must be renewed. In a more layman or biblical language, "The human being must be spiritually reborn." Rebirth is a conscious and spiritual transformation of the human being in which the ego must make way for the conscious presence and expression of the soul. The soul must take the steering wheel of the human vehicle and the ego must now take the passenger seat. This spiritual process of rebirth is not an overnight experience. And it surely isn't an instant ritual of religious baptism. Instead, it is a long journey of trials and tribulations, a very painful experience of suffering and sacrifices, and an extreme lonely life of solitude. Without disciplining the ego to submit to the soul, conflict between the ego and the soul will eventually force the soul to exit the human form in search of a more ideal and willing vehicle for its destined expression.

Discipline is the most necessary condition in the spiritual transformation of the human being and the development of consciousness of the existence of the soul. Nungkyyii is a philosophical art and practice of the development and expression of self-discipline. And Exceptional Education is a fruit of its disciplinary philosophy.

Spiritual transformation initiates a journey within the human being, forcing detachment from material possessions, emotional relationships and worldly events. This experience of detachment is excruciatingly painful, but of the utmost necessity in restoring the brain's state of equilibrium. This extreme experience of pain is symbolized and given the phrase "Treading the Sacred Fire." This very significant experience is a process of purification of the individual's patterns of thought and behavior. The "Sacred Fire" is made up of three flames of suffering, sacrifice and service. The flame of suffering purifies our emotions by shifting our feelings from physical values and preparing those feelings to register spiritual values. The flame of sacrifice purifies our desire by separating us from our material possessions and emotional attachments of the physical world. And the flame of service purifies our spirit, heart and intentions through selflessly serving the needs of others. The "Sacred Fire" carries a double duty. It purifies the sincere, dedicated and honest seeker of spiritual transformation. And it destroys the false, selfish and dishonest seeker of emotional security and satisfaction. The "Sacred Fire" is the guardian of the gates of the kingdom of the spirit; therefore, pain, suffering and sacrifices are unavoidable in acquiring the treasures of the spiritual kingdom.

In order to properly prepare an individual for spiritual transformation, the philosophy of Nungkyyii has established an Exceptional Education system that specifically concentrates on educating the spirit. The spiritual instructions of Exceptional Education guide the individual through three developmental stages of selfhood – Selfishness, Selflessness and Selfness. In the Selfishness stage of development the individual is taught to concentrate on the image in the mirror, and focus on learning to love, respect and accept the self in its natural state and condition. Narcissism becomes a positive and constructive concept. The individual is enrolled into a special program of self-development called The Omega Program. This dynamic program is specifically designed to develop the individual's physique, intellect, self-consciousness, self-confidence, self-discipline, self-respect, self-worth and self-esteem.

Materialism is a very dynamic instrument in the successful development of Selfishness. It is used to symbolize the progressive development of the self through recognition and rewards. Fashionable attire of a conservative mode and comfortable accommodations of living are very significant materials in promoting a positive self-image and positive personal attitude.

When self-love has definitely been achieved the individual must sacrifice the worldly tools, materials and emotional support used to complete the Selfishness stage. The self that has become loved emotionally must now be cultivated consciously beyond the life of the physical senses. The self must now venture into the abstract realm of the spirit world. The second stage of Selflessness is intended to reach a state or Samadhi (enlightenment), which is achieved through a spiritual lifestyle of self-discipline, living in the truth and a commitment to human service. This stage of sacrifice, suffering and service purifies the individual of selfish desires, motives and intentions, and expands his or her consciousness toward the concerns of other human beings. Since Selflessness opposes the ego and suppresses the individuality, self-love must be cultivated to an even greater level of progression in order to properly support the self through this painful and challenging stage of self-development. Selflessness requires extreme discipline of the ego and the emotions. It also requires a greater development of the intellect. "For without a greater intelligent understanding of the circumstances and conditions of spiritual transformation the individual will find the brain at the edge of insanity."

When the self has forfeited its material possessions, sacrificed its emotional attachments and elevated above its physical reality and identity, it is now properly prepared to accept its true identity of the self and its spiritual reality, and receive the emotional rewards of the possession of spiritual values. Selfness is achieved when the soul becomes a conscious entity of the human being and its destined expression takes control of the human body. Selfness is a spiritual way of life. The nervous system has been conditioned through suffering and sacrifices to register the new spiritual experiences and values as satisfactions of pleasure. According to the teachings of the philosophy of Nungkyyii the experience of such pleasurable satisfaction is the reality of Divine happiness, or what the ancient mystics were truly referring to when they wrote descriptions of entering the "kingdom of Heaven."

In the state of Selfness the soul's consciousness reveals it constitution as a hologram of the Infinite Mind of Intelligence (God). Therefore full conscious knowledge of the soul reveals the true knowledge of God. The daily execution of the soul's law of being is a method of gaining greater consciousness, knowledge and understanding of the soul, which eventually reaches God consciousness. God consciousness is the epitome of Spiritual Education. When a human being achieves God consciousness, this superior state of energy overwhelms the individual's being by producing patterns of thought and behavior of Godliness. In the philosophy of Nungkyyii when a human being has been spiritually transformed into a Godlike character he or she is considered to be spiritually educated.

Physical Education as defined by the philosophy of Exceptional Education is – "The knowledge and understanding of the physical body, its constitution, function, maintenance and its overall development."

"Obesity has risen to the level of an epidemic! Inactivity is one of its major culprits. If exercise is an effective method of addressing the problem of obesity among children, then why aren't schools constructing facilities capable of conducting physical activities and exercise programs that include the participation of all school children? Not only are most schools incompetent in accommodating physical activities for all children, they have eliminated physical education from their curriculum."

"Thus Spake The Philosopher of Exceptional Education"

In a health survey and study of the physical condition of school children, the report revealed that over 70% of school children high school and below couldn't perform 10 sit-ups, 20 pushups and run 2 miles without seriously being fatigued and exhausted. Although such a national condition of health among school children is considered a serious crisis, officials have done nothing to remedy the problem. Is it more important for children to make A's on their report cards than for them to have an A condition of health?

Why is ignorance of the physical body so widespread in our society? Wouldn't personal knowledge of human anatomy, nutrition, exercises, wellness, physique development and dietary consciousness transfer the responsibility of health and its maintenance to the individual level, or would that be a nightmare for physicians; disturb the medical profession and send shock waves through the economy?

If you asked the average student to give a description of the terms gluteus maximus, esophagus, or even vertebrae, you would probably receive reactions of momentary silence, a distant stare, followed by an upward movement of the shoulders. According to the author Martin L. Gross, ignorance is more than just a social ill, it is a sophisticated conspiracy to manipulate education and maintain control of the social system and its subjects.

"Our natural goals in this world should be to live as long as we possible can, acquire as much wisdom, knowledge, intelligence and understanding as the brain is capable of, and to achieve greater accomplishments as we travel along our journey of life. In making any journey the condition of the vehicle in which you are traveling determines the circumstances of your travel. If the operator of the vehicle is its mechanic there is a sense of confidence and assurance that the operator has in his success of travel and performance of his vehicle."

Exceptional Education declares that we must now educate the individual to achieve his or her greatest possible level of potentiality. The highest potentiality is realized when the individual achieves an education of the self. No education can possibly claim to be complete without a physical education. In its attempt to be a complete education system of progressivism, Exceptional Education teaches physical education at every level of the student's phases of learning. Human anatomy is taught to inform the student of his body makeup and the functioning of its parts as an organism. Maintenance and hygiene is taught as ways and means of body preservation. Physical fitness, wellness and development of the physique are achieved through the exercises and movements of the practice of martial arts and the participation in athletic activities.

Martial arts practice focuses on the development of the body as well as the mind and spirit in a synthesized manner of harmony. No other exercise can compare to the physical development of the self as the practice of martial arts. The major contribution that martial arts offer its practitioners is discipline. Our Physical Education introduces the martial arts system of Nungkyyii as an art of self-discipline. (For more details on the martial arts system of Nungkyyii please feel at liberty to visit our website at www.theomegaman.com)

Athleticism in the form of challenging sports activities is a very entertaining form of physical exercise. For every student to experience participating in sports activities regardless of the possession of talent or skills of athletic performance is very rewarding for the student's physical development and self-progression of confidence, morale and esteem. As a mandatory program of participation for all students, our Physical Education programs demand an enormous size of athletic facility in order to accommodate its concept of development of the physical body of every student. Our concept of Physical Education demands new facility construction that requires enough gym space to accommodate the athletic activity of every student of the entire school within the hours of operation each day.

A Physical Education goes hand in hand with a Spiritual Education. It is an extension of the knowledge of the self from the spiritual realm to the physical realm that raises the individual's consciousness of the self and its place in the universe.

The misinterpretation of the meaning of sin and the treatment of its reality has distorted the individual's true comprehension and understanding of the human responsibility of righteous behavior. And the conscious understanding of the consequences of destruction toward the whole constitution of the existence of the human being (body, mind and soul) due to unrighteous activity is absent within the individual's learning. The law of cause and effect should be explicitly taught at the threshold of learning. The fact that we live in a world of movement that forces development through the consequences of progressive causation, should initiate the reality of all human beings as they gain greater self-consciousness and awareness of the world around them. Such a reality must become as necessary a part of education as any other academic subject of major importance.

In Moral Education character development plays a very dynamic role in the cultivation of morality. The teachings of virtues, principles and ethics lay the foundation for Moral Education. Students must be taught to value honesty and integrity with pride and prestige. They must also be encouraged to strive for nobility and stewardship with a readiness to render deeds and services toward any sector of humanity. Becoming a better human being as an objective of the philosophy of Exceptional Education serves as a moral incentive in promoting the individual's will and desire to display righteous conduct.

In the philosophy of Nungkyyii thought and behavior determines the destiny of human life. The qualitative development of thought and behavior raises the quality of human destiny. Exceptional Education teaches the individual to have faith in human destiny and to invest into its reality through greater levels of development and disciplinary expressions of personal thought and behavior. Morality is taught as an inherited responsibility of being human. Its greater and continuous development is linked to the individual's reality of happiness by understanding the karma of human behavior. Since happiness is an innate desire there is a natural drive and unconscious tendency to seek its pleasurable reality in our conduct of living. When the human being consciously discovers that the more moral he or she thinks and behave the closer they get to happiness, then moral attitude and expression becomes a conscious and willing characteristic of the individual and his or her drive toward satisfaction and pleasure.

Happiness can easily become a distorted reality of physical possessions and worldly ambition. And the individual becomes trapped in an equation of desire verses economics. What he or she desires to possess is most likely unaffordable and beyond the means of his or her financial power. The distortion of the reality of happiness deals an excruciating blow of disappointment and the reality of happiness fades into a concept of the relief or escape of unhappiness – a never-ending struggle against anxiety, depression and anger. In such a state of being morality is no match for economic deprivation, in which circumstances forces immoral activity as a desperate expression of survival.

Exceptional Education teaches that the finite limitations of the physical world hinder moral development for humanity as a whole. Only in the world of the spirit are human resources of self-development infinite and unlimited by physical conditions and its circumstances. Therefore spiritual life offers a greater opportunity of moral development and its constructive expression than a life of materialism in the physical world.

The beauty and dynamics of Moral Education is that once an individual experiences the pleasure of spiritual experiences and its values due to moral behavior, which is afforded by the simplicity of spiritual life, it will not only be disturbing to lose such emotional pleasure by immoral conduct, but awfully painful as well. When an individual can consciously relate his or her moral development and expression to the progressive development of his or her happiness and strive to become a greater human being, the philosophy of Nungkyyii and Exceptional Education considers such an individual to be morally educated.

"We live in the most sophisticated, complex and diversified social structure on Earth. To be ignorant of the functionality of such an advanced technological social system points a citizen in either of four directions – the penitentiary, the asylum, the morgue or definitely poverty."

Present day education seems to be so structured around knowledge that is outdated for effective use in the new reality that modernity is marching toward us at an alarming velocity. History dominates the content of some of the most vital subjects in academics. What possible powers of present day social success can a citizen gain from the sociological teachings of ancient civilizations and their cultures? Perhaps, the true knowledge and understanding of our present social structure and its systematic operation would open the field of opportunity to the greatest minds of intelligence and intuition – destroying inherited power, the status quo and the good old boys network. The elite class would then be structured of elite minds of intelligent insight rather than people of simple wealth and political persuasion.

Sociology is a very dynamic and important subject in the overall development of any social structure and the successful function of its system. When properly taught the knowledge of sociology brings conscious understanding of the rules, laws and regulations that govern the society down to the level of awareness of the citizen. Ignorance of such knowledge increases the chances of the citizen becoming a victim of the social system's methodology of operation, instead of its product.

Exceptional Education teaches the concepts and constructs of Democracy and Capitalism, and their modes of operation from a government level down to the public and private sectors. Preparation to succeed in society extends far beyond mere job qualification. It includes the capability to make intelligent decisions and choose the most rewarding options in all situations of living, which includes location of residence, vocational field of employment, relationships, family life and status of economics. Avoiding bad decisions in these areas can make the difference between contentment and misery.

Harmlessness is the most important topic in all of Social Education. Without it a civilization is never safe from barbarism. Respect and consideration of others, their property and well-being supports the principles of human rights. Human rights are the fabric of civilization. Harmlessness demands that all controversy, disagreement and conflict be resolved peacefully without the use of arms or physical force. Violence must be avoided at any expense. The expression of violence is not only harmful toward the victim, but also consequential even to the user. The law of karma is a very important activity of cause and effect. A greater understanding of its systematic workings would make any conscious human being think twice before releasing negative energy and destructive activity into the cosmos.

Although we have socially advanced our systems, methods and techniques of living probably a light year forward from the times of clubbing women over the head and dragging them back to a cave; pillaging the neighbor's goods and taking his life ruthlessly, yet in still, social conduct has enormous room for qualitative improvements. In such a modern civilization there are very few traces of the history of our human evolutionary journey to our present civilized state of human affairs. Therefore there are no eminent reminders to create great appreciation for the human tools and skills that we have achieved, developed and cultivated so magnificently, which have brought us thus far. Language and communication has contributed more advancement toward social development than any other factors of human progress. The quality in which we transform our thoughts into words, convey our meaning accurately and exchange ideas increases the effectiveness of the power of communication. Therefore speech must be cultivated to greater levels of communicable skill in order to increase our capability to relate more productive. Slang and other popular phrases of trendy verbalization that distorts the true meaning of word standards must be eliminated from expression in our speech. For humanity and civilization both to progress at the velocity of our present times and age, human communication must be developed to levels of explicit, simplistic, direct, clear, honest and purposeful expressions.

Relationships are the building blocks of a society. The more qualitative relationships are built the stronger and more durable the foundation of society. So the know-how of relating and building relationships are crucial to the successful operation and productivity of our social system.

As crucial as the institution of marriage is to our social system and its economy, why hasn't its value been affiliated with education, and its knowledge of success organized into a structured academic course that is taught to every citizen planning to engage in marriage, which awards them with a marriage certification upon completion? Human harmony developed to extreme levels just might not receive a total welcome mat from society. After all, divorce and social conflict has its value within the social system and its economy.

According to the philosophy of Nungkyyii and its Exceptional Education system, conventional marriage is a very complex, difficult and stressful process of human growth, adjustments and sacrifices. The marriage program of Social Education is a continuous learning and development program throughout the span of marriage, which is accompanied by certifications, awards, marriage consultation and therapy. The program ignores the constructs of conventional marriage and declares marriage an institution of family life and its nurture, development, security, welfare and its well-being. The philosophy warns against attempting to make marriage an exclusive love affair. Such an attempt creates narcissistic entrapment – a breeding ground for egomania. Marriage cannot be officiated by a license and governed by rules outside the marriage that does not comply with the principles that structured the marriage from its inner foundation. The blueprints of marriage must be drawn according to the agreeable patterns of behavior that are acceptable by all members and conducive to each member committing his and her self to the marriage until the ending of parenthood. After children have been raised properly, marriage should automatically be resolved and a new blueprint be drawn for a continuing relationship, providing all members share equal will and desire for the relationship's continuation. Otherwise, freedom should be one of the rewards of successful parenthood. Each parent should be allowed to recuperate from such a stressful, yet necessary and beautiful expression of humanity. The purpose of a new blueprint of a new relationship is strictly for happiness. Happiness is a selfish endeavor; it should not require a commitment from someone else. The new relationship is supposed to enhance each other's individual happiness. Conventional marriage is a sacrifice of freedom, and freedom is the nature of happiness. Therefore marriage as a relationship of personal restrictions and economic obligations of financial debt is to be avoided after parenthood if the individual wishes to pursue greater self-development and happiness.

When an individual is capable of surviving within the social system according to its rules and regulations harmlessly, cohabitating harmoniously, relating honestly, mating comparably, supporting a family responsibly, acquiring a satisfactory vocation and living a lifestyle of joy and contentment, he or she, according to the philosophy of Exceptional Education is socially educated.

In order for society and civilization to keep pace with the velocity of modernity and its transformation of the ages, the populace must be well educated. A college degree or its equivalence should be as mandatory as a birth certificate and a driver's license for all adult citizens. In the philosophy of Exceptional Education, learning is a never-ending process of human development. Students must continue to progress in their talents, skills and know-how as our technological society continues to advance forward.

Academic Education focuses on creating a very valuable and productive citizen. Vocational advancement is necessary in preventing the citizen's occupation from becoming a bored, uninteresting and stressful expression of labor. In Exceptional Education teachers are trained to examine and identify a student's talent and skills on an elementary level. By the time the student reaches the secondary school level his or her talent and skills are directed into academic subjects that give knowledge to support the student's further development. At the beginning of the high school level the student's potential vocation has been explicitly identified. At this stage his or her academic curriculum becomes specifically tailored toward the development of the student's talented and skillful vocation. In order to fortify learning and generate greater vocational interest, experience is combined with learning in an on the job training program, which is mandatory throughout the student's college level of academic learning. Graduation from the college level of Academic Education qualifies the student as a proficient citizen of productivity in his or her vocational field of employment.

In the philosophy of Exceptional Education teaching is the highest and most prestigious level of any vocation. Salary, benefits and bonuses are specific incentives that are exclusively available for the profession of teaching. All teachers must earn a doctorate degree and its equivalence in experience in the field of their degree.

Occupational diversity is both rewarding to the citizen and to society. For a citizen to continue academic learning into other fields of vocation, increases his or her value as a member of society, and it also creates occupational options for a change of vocation should circumstances or choice call for a change in employment.

Since intelligence is valued as the most dynamic and important human resource, academic learning is promoted beyond college graduation as self-education. Each citizen is encouraged to stay informed of the progressive discoveries, events and happenings in our global community through a self-structured reading, writing and study program.

In the philosophy of Nungkyyii, Academic Education is a form of permanent and progressive learning that is continuous from womb to tomb.

According to the philosophy of Nungkyyii, Exceptional Education was created as an implementation to "The New Revolution" and its support of the process of human evolution.

Perhaps, if human consciousness can be elevated to a spiritual level of significance, the human race can escape its 100,000-year-old physiological pattern of revolving and stimulate the brain to evolve to a greater level of development and performance. Greater brain performance must be accommodated by a greater way of life. Our present way of life is held in check by our values. Our values are materialistic, and therefore confine our reality to a physical world. The human brain that is restricted to the stimulants of development of a physical reality cannot possibly reach its greater potential powers of performance under the limitations of our physical senses. We are long over due in making the journey across the bridge of consciousness to the world of the spirit. The brain is in need of a cause or purpose to perform on a greater level. Life in a world beyond the physical senses will definitely force the brain to develop spiritual senses (intuition). Spiritual senses or intuitive consciousness will demand a greater physical form, forcing the human body into an evolutionary transformation. Such a quantum leap in human evolution hinges strictly upon consciousness of a higher reality of the spirit or soul. Spiritual consciousness can only be grasped comprehensively through learning and experience. Exceptional Education has been designed and structured to lead humanity into the frontiers of spirituality by developing all aspects of human existence into greater human beings.
