Is it possible for education to begin before birth? Yes, because true education is primarily subconscious. A child is not a little animal which you can start training as soon as it is old enough. A child in the womb is a soul, and its mother can have a beneficial influence on it even at this stage, through the harmony of her thoughts, acts and feelings. And this pre-natal influence which, in essence, is a form of magic, must be faithfully continued once the baby is born, for, as all parents should realize, a tiny baby is highly sensitive to both its physical and spiritual environment. Ultimately, it is by example that parents and teachers should accomplish their educational mission.
