Dzogchen (from Wikipedia): Vidya and all its cognates imply consciousness, knowing, Knowledge, Science, intelligence and so on

A revelatory quote from Dzogchen from Wikipedia: 

 A text from the Heart Essence of Vimalamitra called the Lamp Summarizing Vidyā (Rig pa bsdus pa’i sgronma) defines vidyā in the following way: "...vidyā is knowing, clear, and unchanging" In Sanskrit, the term vidyā and all its cognates imply consciousness, knowing, knowledge, science, intelligence, and so on. Simply put, vidyā means unconfused knowledge of the basis that is its own state.[21]

I think it's very important to combine intuition, instinct, science, logic, Reason and compassion for all life in the universe

When you do this you get better results with all of mankind. For example, when I grew up children were "EXPENDIBLE" much more than now. We that grew up in the 1950s died like flies just like all generations born before us. Part of this was because parents up to about 1900 or 1950 expected that about 1/2 of their children to die from accidents, or childhood diseases by age 12. This was just they way things always were before about 1940.

However, then Penicillin was invented and polio shots were invented and whooping cough shots were invented along with Flu Shots and now Covid shots etc.

Because of this people can expect likely 9 children out of 10 to survive at least here in the U.S.

Once this happened people were not preparing so much for most of their children to die before 12 or 20 like people were always before 1900 to 1950.

When you combine intuition, instinct, science, logic, Reason and compassion you tend to increase the chances for each child to survive.

However, to be realistic this same nice way of being also throws out of balance the laws of nature which is why we have global warming caused by human overpopulations too.

So, saving lives is also at a certain point suicidal for the human race and all life here on earth.

So, to be realistic one must realize this too.

I wrote about this before and it is so popular worldwide that I'm giving more easy to use information to learn high school and college level stuff on these subjects and taught by an MIT graduate who has devoted his time to educating the world online for free. Bill Gates has donated over 3 million dollars in developing this site because he believes it will educate the planet in new ways to make everything better. Here is my last very popular article regarding this site:
khanacademy.org a free revolution in teaching mathematics worldwide.  

Note: Though everything is taught presently in English I think using computer translators this might be converted to other languages as well. Or human Volunteer translators who are educated in English and local languages worldwide might be able to translate from English into local languages many of these lessons as well.  Though it might be useful in today's world to learn English many people would be happy to learn about these things in their native languages worldwide as well.

Later: I was thinking more about this. If the verbal video was transcribed into print a robot translator like "Google  Translator" or "Google Website translator" like I have here at my site could translate it. It could then be refined by a native speaker in whatever language it was being translated into and re-dubbed into the video for use in any language or country.
