Education I don’t believe in formal education because we tend to teach the children how to learn instead of how to think. Apprenticeship is the best way of learning. The only thing a teacher can teach you is how to teach. If you want to know how to play the piano, the best person to teach you is a piano player. A teacher cannot teach me how to be an engineer or an artist, but an engineer or an artist. Our educational system does not seem to understand the wider context. It ends up distracting us from focusing on God and teaching us how to worship human beings – which is convenient for pastors, I suppose. The educational system does not leave religion for parents to show. It’s become a compulsory part of education. Orthodox medicine It is not better to try to poison the illness rather than heal the body. Religion It interferes with our true relationship with God by introducing the notion of human worship into man’s consciousness. Democracy An even greater illusion than money; democracy is to freedom what money is to value. Gratifying moments There are too many to name. Some of them might seem inconsequential to somebody, but to me, they are really important. My freshest and most recent is two weeks ago at Roskilde in Denmark with King Ayisoba. The tent where he was performing was packed. They queued for up to 20 minutes to enter. he played at 4 in the afternoon, but by the time he got on stage, the tent was jam packed.
