First you are taught A,B, C and 1,2,3 no problem, you got it and you understood it.

Why?

Because you saw it in Nature and Natural Living! And if you checked it, your spirit was happy, therefore you knew it was TRUE.

Then they taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, sentences/spelling.

And you were smiling and enjoying learning and school for you saw the Truth of these teachings in Nature and Natural Living Too. Therefore, No Problem!

Then in primary school, Suddenly they slam you with Square Root!

And problem has started. You ask for explanation but Teachers simply says just do it like this and do it like that".

Mummy and daddy can not explain it!

Meanwhile unlike the other Truths you had learnt earlier which you saw were True because you used them in Natural Living, this Square Root does not make no sense.

Every other Truth was shown you in Nature by mummy and daddy and Teacher but everyone is unable to explain how Square Root works!

Mathematicians can not explain it either,(I have asked them) they just chew their mouth raising big big grammar, which they did not do for the other settled Truths in Nature.

Neither is Square Root seen or Used in Nature, So where did it come from?

I have told you before one of the most destructive weapons in this world is True-Lies or Lies-Truths or Half-Truths or Half-Lies.

That is why you do not know Truths because your Teachers and Schooling willfully destroy your ability to Ascertain Truths having Compelled you to Accept Lies, even from an early age!

I have identified Square Roots (I know Cube Root is in front and accoming), Area (Perimeter is True in Nature but Area is a Lie) and now my son just brought home the breaking down of Whole Numbers to Fractions in Fractions and Multiplication/Division of Fractions/Addition/Subtraction of Fractions.

What a Fraud and a Deceit in Life and Living, for we do not deal with Fractions but with Whole Numbers.

Which is why we have so much injustice and cheating and stealing in the world and one nonsense Satan lawyer and advocate would come to defend the thieves using this Tricks.

Meanwhile it has no ground or support in Life!

Watch Out! Stop and Think and Measure.

If it's not in Nature, it is not True!

Just got feedback from one Quantitative Reasoning Question they gave my child over the weekend.

He couldn't solve it, I couldn't solve it, my wife couldn't solve it, so we sent it back undone to the Teacher to show the solution.

Guess what? She just confessed that she could not make any sensible connection!

Ah, bros I chopped the koboko till I wondered why I was the way I was. I no still gree.

Once it did not make any sense I no do homework but because I use dat time play, I chop koboko o.

But I thank God for all the numbers of times I was right and every other person was Wrong including my teacher and parents (Very very Sweet Moments, I tell you) that's what helped me keep my sanity and enter into a world where I was more Right than wrong.

I thank God for redeeming me oh, because I rather chose to die and go to God for judgement of the matter than to do those nonsense homework, which koboko (and play no forgot play grin) was going to accomplish.

So imagine my shock when I discovered that they are all deliberately planted deceits.

That's one of the reasons why people do not know the difference between Truth and Lies, Right and Wrongs, Good and evil!

Its a very dangerous and deadly destruction of men!

The Truth of Education is that it means "To Learn"

To learn what?

Answer: Preferably that which is Good which you can use for your own good and not for your destruction or loss which is what Nature Teaches eg Farming education, hunting, carpentry all Good Life bringing education with Profitability and happiness not pain and suffering.

But there is also another wicked education, which is meant to use you to destroy yourself and suffer losses, subject you to slavery instead of your Natural Freedom very many bad and adverse things which hurt you to the benefit of another person.

That's what pains me most when a bad case is brought to me for the case is bad because the person participated in hurting and wounding himself!

Yes bros and a person who is still in connection with Nature and Natural Living.

Else, they shall be caught up in another type of deceit in their bid to escape one deceit.

The Lies are everywhere whether Law, Logic, History, Philosophy, Sociology, Maths, English language (by changing the True Meaning of Words and hiding them eg Transfixed is Trance- Fixed, False is Falls etc)

But Nature Does not Lie neither Does it Support A Lie only Truths!

Nature rather quenches Lies, that's what it Truly does.

All Lies are in the mouth Only, they do not stand in Natural Living or in Nature!

Your True and Real you is your inner self! The outside you you know, is fake and as a shadow.

Your real you is supposed to control (I normally say drive, exactly as you drive your car) the outside.

Like a person to a car, your inner you is the person and the car's chasis or frame is your body.

But one of the deceptions of this world is that it made people think that they are the chassis, (the body) therefore responding based on the Outside Environment and Temperature.

Rather than from the Real Inner man WHO KNOWS many many Solid Truths and can discover Solid Truths, therefore he can not be deceived or misled by the Outside environment and Temperature.

But rather works and operates on Solid Information!

I have told you before

"Anything you tell me before" must be diligently checked least you fill ones head with the little you know and claim to be speaking the truth.

Instead of accepting a topic is way beyond your capacity to comprehend, see as you just write it off and claim it is false and wrong without doing any research!

Pity you posted this in the religious section where Mathematicians wouldn't see it, and those who might would likely shake their heads at your misunderstanding of the mystery of square roots.

For those who don't know but would like to know please check wiki for starts and below is a video. Both give a broad enough scope covering the use of the square root.

See the words of your fellow so called Satansons, dt. All members of buda's family.

Are they all "hiding a Lie that does not reasonably exist and has no Truthful Basis" or is the Truth all a mystery to you?

Jesus answered them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been granted.
Matthew 13:11

And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,
Mark 4:11

And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.
Luke 8:10

and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;
Ephesians 3:9

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past,
Romans 16:25

but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory;
1 Corinthians 2:7

that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints,
Colossians 1:26

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him
Ephesians 1:9

By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,
Ephesians 3:4

that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself,
Colossians 2:2

By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.
1 Timothy 3:16

For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
Romans 11:25

to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:27

He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him
Ephesians 1:9-10

Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
1 Corinthians 15:51-53

but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.
Revelation 10:7

and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
Revelation 17:5-8

To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things;
Ephesians 3:8-9

By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,
Ephesians 3:4-6

and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,
Ephesians 6:19

Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Colossians 1:25-27

praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;
Colossians 4:3

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken out of the way.
2 Thessalonians 2:7

If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
1 Corinthians 13:2

For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
1 Corinthians 14:2

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church.
Ephesians 5:31-32

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who has first given to Him that it might be paid back to him again?read more.
Romans 11:33-36

but holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
1 Timothy 3:9

By referring to this, when you read you can understand my insight into the mystery of Christ, which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit; to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

Simple Interest is Also a teaching that is craftily meant to teach souls to be Disobedient to God's Laws and Depart From His Natural Laws.

For when we normally lend our goods whether money or items, it is always meant to be Returned Again to us, without profit, or with profit at the sole good discretion of he who borrowed.

It is not meant to be A Trade or Business.

Which is why IN THE PAST MONEYLENDERS WHERE GREATLY HATED!
