University
Students
Students of the Academy, studying in its integrated school/university,
the so-called EΠΑcademia, have to desire, and also become, registered Members
first, and later on, registered Soldiers. As a minimum, they will
have to adhere strictly to the first 2
EthoPlasìn
Rules, committing themselves formally to do so even when they are
outside of the ARIUM.
The
EthoPlasìn
University, or the
PythAcademia, has 3 cumulative
objectives. First to make its students complete their normal curriculum
of studies, from senior high school education to the end of university, with
maximum qualifications in their field compared to other schools and best
results for their future integration to the labor market.
EthoPlasìn students should be highly sought as employees by
important companies or organizations on the basis of their higher
professional qualifications. Second, make them very special persons,
and/or employees, by forming them with the best
holistic education, in particular from a civic and ethical point of view, by making them grow in a culture of meritocracy,
by training them in
physical and mental EthoPlay, including
EthoDialogue (Socratic dialogue), as a sport and as a discipline,
by forming them as human beings on the basis of the
Pythagorean Tetractys, and by teaching them the universal
EthoGloso language, turning them into
Civitas Managers.
Third, make them develop their best artistic
and 'spiritual' talents in
particular through singing, or playing and mastering a music instrument, and
through absorbing
The
ARIUM will try to keep a good balance of mixed male and female students at
the university but a par number on a sex basis will not be a strict
priority. The priority will always be meritorious candidates with meritorious achievements
in the process of acquiring the
EthoPlasìn discipline.
All
university students have to be registered soldiers at least at the first 2
levels for the time of all their studies. The ARIUM only wants candidates
who willingly and proactively register as soldiers and who intend to pursue its
EthoPlasìn
Discipline for years to come,
at whatever level they can reach or choose to participate, but never below
level 2 when reaching the beginning of their third year at the ARIUM.
Not
to be promoted in EthoPlasìn
Discipline after two years at
the ARIUM will normally mean exclusion from the university, independently
from the scores they may get on the subjects of their university curriculum.
Priority for limited places at the university will always be given to
students who choose to go on with
EthoPlasìn Rules and discipline above level 2 while they study.
The
ARIUM signs collaboration agreements with various education institutions
around the world in order to try to identify, prepare and pre-select the
students on a meritorious basis, as the best candidates who may have an
interest in its type of EthoPlasìn
education.
In
the same manner, the ARIUM publicizes its best graduating students to
various companies or organizations around the world for giving these
employers a chance to acquire outstanding employees from a professional,
emotional and civic points of view.
The
ARIUM has no traditional teachers but only leading experts in various
subject matters. These give no traditional lecturing instruction in front of a
classroom. The leading expert in a particular subject heads one (or
many) ‘Subject Arium’, using many surrounding isolated ARIUM cubicles where
few students can meet and also help each other at various levels. Each
participation in a ‘Subject Arium’, either receiving or giving tutoring
help, gives corresponding Merit Credit units to the persons involved.
Because the university is entirely free, with full room and board, including
uniform clothing, students at higher levels are expected, in
terms of compensation, to proactively become tutors for students at lower
levels, under the guidance of the leading experts in each subject matter,
accumulating additional Merit Credit units in doing so.
Soldier-specific, rather than university-specific, related training expenses are also always free, as it is for non-students or Interns present at the ARIUM.
Instead of attending fixed classroom hours, students develop their own
individual schedules, under the tutorship of a more senior member. Their
schedule will always include a good mix of studying the subjects of their regular
curriculum, studying the various components of the
EthoPlasìn Discipline and
Philosophy, studying and practicing their music instrument, studying and
practicing EthoGloso, studying and practicing the new
EthoJudo sport and its
correlated EthoDialogue discipline, and
participating in various other sports and social activities at the ARIUM.
Again, each participation grants Merit Credit units to the students
involved. In the meantime, the ARIUM provides them with all sorts of video
training courses developed by the LogosArium ThinkTank, the best Internet broadband
connection with special Website Links with all kinds of
universities or organizations around the world for studying and mastering
their curriculum subject matters.
Some special scholarships for additional training are available for
members with outstanding talents or achievements, in particular in the field
of harmonic music.
University students will in principle all sleep in the open dormitories for
males and females. This
is part of the concepts of highly Socializing Facilities and special
Community Life Style that are mentioned in our page on the
Private Arium
Area system. The
dormitories are surrounded by few rooms where parents will be invited, and
teachers will be expected, to take turns and sleep overnight for minimal
surveillance and enforcement of best
EthoPlasìn Discipline.
Private room accommodation can be negotiated for students for special
reasons but will rarely be approved.
Guests visiting residing members, students or not, and who are themselves
members, will normally also sleep in the open dormitories. If requested, or
certainly if the visitor is for example a female visiting a male student,
guests may be given a non-student member’s room to sleep with the residing
member. If the visiting guests are non-members, they will be accommodated in
a special member’s room, like the ones normally used by some of the Interns,
and the residing members may choose to sleep with their guests for the time
of their stay. Dormitories are
restricted to members.
The
internal decorum rules and hours also have to be respected serenely but
strictly, by all students and their guests, subject to possible immediate
expulsion without appeal.
All
students have to also actively study EthoGloso, in addition to whatever language they already
speak or chose to learn as regular curriculum options. For students,
EthoGloso will always
be an IAL to be used in addition to all other national languages known or
studied by them.
All
students also have to choose and study assiduously a music instrument of
their choice and participate in regular recitals. Exceptionally, singing
might be an exclusive alternative.
Students are expected to commit themselves willingly, of their
own and entire free will, to these discipline and decorum rules, but parents
may also be interviewed to ensure it is the student’s will to do so more
than just the parents’ desire for their children to enter the Academy.
No
evening out is permitted from Monday to Friday, only on weekends, and
with pre-warning and agreement of management. Going out during the day for
personal important reasons is acceptable on justification, otherwise there is
no incoming or outgoing visits from Monday to Friday. Movements are free
(but with constant availability on mobile phone) between Friday diner time and
Sunday before diner. Internal recitals or other late events all take place
on Friday or Saturday nights.
Sleep-in friend guests in dormitories and in members’ rooms are allowed
quite freely but only with pre-clearance of management. This clearance has nothing to do with possible sexual relations
taking place during overnight room visits, but only with the decorum of the
ARIUM and its firm intention not to give access to undesirable characters
within the compound.
Regarding such visits becoming occasions of sex activity, as per
Rule 3 of
its discipline, EthoPlasìn
believes the sex life of members should be the best there is, without complex,
or fear, nor sense of guilt, as a most constructive aspect of growing and
living, and to be fully enjoyed with a clear and deep sense of gratitude.
This is even an early requirement, at level 3, in adhering to the 10 levels
of EthoPlasin Discipline and Philosophy. It is a pre-requirement for
adhering to levels 4 to 10.
Visits or not, the private sex life of members should always be free, serene
and the best there is. The ARIUM will encourage, facilitate, even protect
the privacy of all sexual relations on the basis of
Rule 3, as long as they
are first and foremost, as a pre-requisite, an expression of Rule 1 and 2.
This is an important part of the tutoring role of senior members in
front of the members they tutor, and a norm to be made known and respected
by all joining members.
As per rules 3 and 6, EthoPlasìn also believes sexual, or orgasmic, pleasure is ‘divine’ in nature, a superb expression of CoPHLE energy, and an occasion to “Lead all thoughts by a sense of Planet Oneness Responsibility and Cosmic Life Participation Gratefulness”. Under these conditions, EthoPlasìn can only wish members to “...freely enjoy divine sexual pleasure in a holistic rejuvenating way”, hopefully under the good auspices of Eros, and do it “generatively” or in a “love-generating way”, that is producing and accumulating CoPHLE energy for their own benefit and the benefit of all the people they meet. Pan-forming Loving energy, or CoPHLE, is our creative source. Sex is our tool to become co-creators, let alone procreators, and thus is fundamentally ‘cosmically divine’ in nature. Having an equilibrated and joyful sex life to express love and generatively enjoy life is an essential requirement for all members. Like for all good things, only abuse or misuse is to be avoided and from the EthoPlasìn point of view, even chastity would be a kind of negative abuse.
The
original non-traditional-classroom type of approach in teaching and taking
lessons at the EthoPlasìn
Academy, with the help of
co-student tutors, and the leading role of Arium Subject Experts above the normal
tutors, gives students incredible flexibility in adjusting their time to
their own pace, capacity and talents, and allows them to integrate easily the maximum
amount of extra training from a EthoPlasin discipline point of view. It also makes
students fully responsible for their meritorious achievements and their
final results in all their schooling and training: physically, emotionally,
intellectually, artistically and civically, let alone ‘spiritually’ intended
in CoPHLE philosophical terms. The tutors of each student or member also feel co-responsible for these achievements, in an exemplary process of
Meritocracy to be admired and hopefully copied, possibly even improved, in a
growing number of other places around the world in the coming years.
