(WB) Hey! Now get the book and you might see something? Also it does
not stop there, it's in every field of the human endeaver. After you
realise this things then begin to change in what you base your life
on. OOPS did I state to much here? BUT! ONLY YOU CAN FIND IT IF YOU
LOOK.

After the fact you might begin to realise what we are HINTING AT, and
then realise something most completely overlook.

(WB) Well then go find out!

(WB) No. Not in Compulsory schooling.

(WB) While I was in School I was also self teaching myself in areas
outside of their corriculum that prepared me for what I was motivated
to pursue. College never came into it. and the reason was it too was
flawed and time wasted IMO. Not to say things were not of value, but
that sacrifices over rid what I was pursuing in what I understood was
where I was going and why. Also they did not teach my field of
endeaver, and if they did I was by fourteen way ahead of what they did
teach.

Judi my lady has a degree. She edites everything we publish. I say we
because I submitt material to her publication. Grammer and sentence
structure I am weak in. But not because I did not want to excell, but
because the system was flawed in who and what they gave me in how I
was taught. This was not elected but was decreed by a flawed system.

(WB) You could have just as easily threw it out the window and pursued
it on your own. Many a great contribution has been made by SELF taught
people realising they could pursue it better on their own. None of
which Chris had anything to do with money. Look at you! Not your life
and think why you are where you are at. See what I mean?

 > Anyway, again, very interesting.

(WB) Funny thing is I think this was the Third repost and it got by
you twice before. HUM, I wonder why?  Could it be there are several
mind sets present here in the forum, that are totally obscure to each
others reality picture? Glenda and I operate on a separate reality to
most. It does not interferr with everyone else but is uniquely
apparent to us. It compliments what we are doing and has absolutely
nothing to do with education. Judi's degree is worthless in phsycology
in what she has learned from Glenda and me. In six months in what was
revealed to her with me, far exceeded and replaced what she learned in
four years of college. Am I smarter then her? Not at all! But learning
a new way to think and see things accellerated a condition the had
rendered her limited to awareness to REAL reality. Once understood the
programming was pushed aside and new vistas appeared that opened many,
many doors, she was then aware existed. Then realisation flowed in
unlocking many areas of her mind that expanded, not limited her
consciousness. From there on out it was a new game she could explore
in her now AWAKENED new found understanding. She no longer views
anything through the pin hole Micro view versus the many Macro view,
and this allowed a comparison beyond belief. After the fact she now
knows things beyond what the many only believe is possible that might
be there.

But Chris only you can open your WILL to explore these things. Till
you do everything you write here is mundane in that it does not
interact with what we are trying to say to open this ability in you
and it will remain unknown and not understood from the higher aspect
of what is, versus what you think is. The two are completely different
and easily misunderstood. It has nothing to do with me being better or
smarter then you. It's a choice Chris that reveals things only you can
make to open or understand. If you refuse Gatto is talking about you
as the by product of what was by dezign easily implimented that DUMBED
you DOWN. Accept this or not you were shown it exists. But only you
can decide whether it effected you or not and what you are willing to
do to get beyond it. To indulge in long discourses with you is
useless, until you see the LIGHT and that Light Bulb goes off that
begins to make you see you were fed a crock of BS that is keeping you
where they've got you and this my friend you are passing on as a GOOD
parent to your kids. THINK ABOUT IT!

regards Walter.
