Are you sure you always use your handle. It sure looks familiar, special "peeps" and all. Maybe not ALWAYS?

"I imagine spittle covered screens from people like Ginger and Stripe with the venom, hatred and animosity that is spewed toward one and all. I'm thinking they need to lighten up a bit. Everything in life is not coercive or subversive and not everyone has agenda. And Greg about the time I think you're okay, you veer off on a tangent and denigrate the rest of us for not thinking or feeling like you. It was 30+ years ago for god's sake, and each of us has moved on in our lives, far past what happened when we were teenagers, or at least we should have by now. The time spent at the Seed does not represent the sum total of who we are as adults. And for anyone who hasn't gotten beyond it, I'm pretty positive they would have been a mess in their adult lives anyways, even if they hadn't been there. There are always those people who have to blame someone and something for every real or imagined wrong in the lives. As for those of us who don't have any "real" problems with what happened to us during our time at the Seed, you accuse us of having our heads up our asses and living in a fantasy land. I neither have my head up my ass nor live in a fantasy land. My friends, co-workers and bosses who don't know a thing about the Seed, think I'm one of the most compassionate, grounded, common sense individuals they've ever met. I raised good kids who are happy and productive members of society, I have good friends and I am happy with my life. Not too shabby in the grand scheme of things. So I go blissfully on with my life, living it one day at a time, dealing with what comes my way and having no regrets or remorse.

Thank you Greg. We'll never see eye to eye on our seed experiences and that's okay. I am neither a leader nor a follower. I pretty much do my own thing and that's one of the things I took from the seed. I don't much care what others think of me and how I live my life, cause it's my life. Because my mind works pretty simply what I took from the seed, like any religious dogma, was to try and life a good life, treat other people and myself with respect, try to be compassionate and understanding, not judge a book by its cover and mostly to just let people live their lives and for the most part while I'm a fallible human, and don't always succeed, and I've made plenty of mistakes in my life, it's an easy way to live.
As for Stripe, because of your legal training, I will never attempt to go toe to toe with you. My brain wasn't trained to attack and argue. I know this because I've spent my entire adult life surround professionally by attorneys. I have faced my fair share of life's adversities, I didn't get to be 46 and raise kids without having faced life and all its pleasantries and unpleasantries. Let's see, there's births, deaths, alcoholism at home and and work, aging parents, and don't forget raising teenagers and all the challenges they offer. I took what I needed and moved on. My seed experience wasn't yours and yours wasn't mine. It was 9 months out of my life when I was 15 and thus I've moved way beyond that point in time and just try to live my life and take what comes my way and deal with it as effectively as I can, for a simple human being.

Ok, please don't take this the wrong way. I'm just sort of at a loss to understand how you took that particular mind-set away from the Seed. In my experience, doing one's own thing w/o checking it out w/ staff first was a fast ride to front row. I used to fear running into anyone affiliated w/ the Seed while I was growing up. What if I seemed off in a daydream? What if my jeans were a little too tattered? What if my eyes were red from swimming? What if I were listening to "druggie" music or something? What if someone busted me crying or noticed how depressed I often was? I was terrified of being reported for some sort of imaginary manifestation of druggiedome.
In my experience, thinking for yourself was just verbotten. I had to double think everything; to prepare a Seed Approved response and, if I wanted anything else, a very secret, private take on it. And respect for others? Yeah, right! About like the "respect" that my favorite anon troll or my brother give me when I try to engage them in discussion about the TC method.
Maybe it was a whole lot different for you. Maybe it was such a large group at the time and you were able to get in and out w/ little trouble. I suppose it could be compared to Singapore. It's a beautiful place to visit. So safe and clean and honest. But if you had to grow up there, in fear of imprisonment for forgetting to flush a toilet or of caning for some minor infraction, you might view it differently.
Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.
