Levels of the literate society:
-illiterate and in bondage
-illiterate and capable (historical conditions....some groups were called savages/slaves and other things even by those that were literate)
-Basic reading skills (like 2nd grade level) (parenting is possible)
-Simple reading skills (like 5th grade comprehension level- can comprehend basic biblical and reasoning truths even without further skill-humble level)
-Standard reading skills (like 8th grade comprehension level. Funcional everyday reading level)
-GED reading skills (willing to read Shakesphere when needed, fulfills that which "the state" would appreciate for employment but only for attachment to "the state." )
****
-Technical reading skills (community college and career based reading skills)
-Liberal Arts reading skills
(variety of topics with reasoning and explanation ability. Can do basic reasoning, but some may not highlight the truth as supreme. Experience with textbooks, raw-books and varieties of literature. Some continue to cater to theories instead of empirical truths. May still have selfish tendencies and listening to "gossips" or "rumors.")
-Ivy League reading skills
(Upper level comprehension and vocabulary at extensive rate of speed. Topics covered could be liberal or conservative political tendencies. Professional careers and education levels. May still have selfish tendencies and listening to "gossips" or "rumors.")
-Spirituality reading skills (meditative/reflections/memorization at multiple levels, ability to train ones own children and others to meditate on passages, independent thinking, multiple languages - many above GED levels can practice these things)
-Brotherly-Sisterly Love reading skills (eliminate fleshly tendencies, follow paths of righteousness justice and mercy, have compassion for fellow man, follow will of creator) This is the HIGHEST level attainable. It requires FULL discipline to family and social community connections (extended family included). Examples would be that attained by Martin Luther King Jr, Abe Lincoln, great martyred spiritual leaders of biblical faith, Sojourner Truth etc. A man may have an "ivy league" level reading skill but yet feel the compassion for those with basic or illiterate reading skills. The GREATEST MAN to ever attain this.....was JESUS!
Reading......can be funny.....but it depends on WHAT YOU READ.......is what makes you a REAL man or someone who is pranked! (this video contains very clear profanity.....but it is to prove a point)
