The intention of this work is never based on knowledge alone but on the practices of knowledge. It is meant for people to put into practice what they already know, to make them realize that change is achieved through actions. In addition to reading, it is about implementing the knowledge that is often recalled, such as self-love and the understanding that we are all one, accepting divine will. I acknowledge that people are familiar with these principles, yet they seldom apply them. The aim is to help them comprehend that with a piece of profound internal knowledge, they can transform their lives, including health, well-being, abundance, and positive relationships. In our internal knowledge class, we focus on precisely manifesting the ability to acquire everything in your environment without lifting a finger. To be reborn is to begin awaking, erasing the information from the past, living and accepting the present moment, and making it possible through meditation and conscious thoughts. From our present knowledge class, you can understand how it opens a new world of possibilities. In this rebirth present, we guide you to break through all limitations.

These two works belong to that group of books written by one of this century's fiercest and most devoted child advocates. In the first, Korczak uses fiction to reveal the joys and sorrows of a child, a ten-year-old, juxtaposing them against the feelings of an adult as they both react to two days of adventure spent together. Two prominent themes in his writing are the exploration of the place of children in an adult world and the examination of the treatment and regard children are accorded in that world. In his second book, Korczak spells out his 'Magna Charta Libertatis' in defense of the child's right to respect, right to be him or herself, and, most importantly, right to respect for the strenuous effort expended in the process of 'growing up.'
