INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUMTHE CONCEPT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURE
Documentation
UNIVERSITY NEWS: Mr. Hübner, you are the developer of the University of the Future: would it be possible for you to tell us in short the basic difference between the University of the Future and the conventional universities? Because by comparing the two it might be easier to understand what is new at the University of the Future.
PETER HÜBNER: As can be seen from the curriculum and in particular from the Logical Path, the UNIVERSITY OF THE FUTURE is not an ordinary university limiting itself to the first 3 of 21 scientifically verifiable states of consciousness: but it is a scientific research, development and education institution which concentrates in its focus
- on exploring universal natural knowledge
(COGNITION),
- developing universal natural creativity
(CREATIVITY) and
- teaching universal natural harmony (HARMONY)
by scientific-artistically applying the harmony laws of the microcosm of music, or of nature and of the Creator.
Mr. Hübner, fortunately we had time to become acquainted with the structure of your concept of a University of the Future via internet and to study it thoroughly.
(Note of the editors: Already a few months before the congress, Peter Hübner had given the congress participants access via internet to his drafts for structuring the University of the Future. That is, early enough before the “Days of Universality” the participants had this draft at their disposal via a special login in order to study and get familiar with it).
That it was not easy for us – I can, of course, speak here only for the group of the education experts – to follow your educational concept, which by current standards is totally unusual and also revolutionary in substance, you will certainly understand.
Nevertheless, if one looks closer, it unfolds an enormous attraction which one cannot evade even if one does not really fathom and understand it – it stands in front of you like a phantom: one is almost inclined to say: “extraterrestrial”.
DRAGON UNIVERSITY: But that it really is – because it is conceived as a human-cosmic training program.
Who, for instance, connects the dragon with a university? But the dragon, in its age-old mythological symbolism, depicts without doubt the integration of mind and self: of thinking and self-cognition – and thus ultimately embodies: the eigenfunction of the intellect how Peter Hübner portrays it in his curriculum from the fifteenth state of consciousness on.
Here we are specially concerned with the cosmic development of the human being who is biologically prepared for these developments.
What at the university can be equaled to the significance of the intellect – and in addition: of an intellect which integrates feeling and understanding in universal eigenfunction?
EDUCATION WORLD COUNCIL: Which role plays the talent in this study?
As is known, the universities so far do not have any specific training of “talent” as such – because of the general pressure for efficient performance specially ambitious universities are prepared to pick out the “most talented” among the applicants by special examination and selection methods, in order to get and/or maintain in this way a good reputation as a university in regard to its academic performance.
But by using such established selection methods they only verify that they are not able to promote talent as such – they only want to make use of it.
CREATIVITY WORLD FORUM: And it is also the question whether these universities select according to real talent or simply for the needs of the market.
For, that they are not able to further talent as such, let’s one conclude that they also do not have any idea about it – that they do not know, what “talent” is.
