Seth:
I think that the reason that folks were asked not to "analize" things was another way of merely saying that you should follow your gut feelings.  Sometimes the heart can offer the correct choice when the mind cannot.

GregFL:
But Seth, if that was true, we would have a room full of people with varying "gut feelings" all giving their opinions.  If you got up and gave an opinion that varied from the seed line, you would face certain consequences.

No, sorry but you are just not right on this one.

Maybe the persons who took to the indoctrination and thrived on it were never taught to think critically about any information before they ever got to the seed.  Certainly no one was ever encouraged to think independently once they were there.

Thirty years out it's my opinion that the rejection/segregation tools we were taught created a great sense of inner-strenght as well as huge false sense intellectual superiority. But in reality, it was nothing more than turning away from anything that challeneged us or was beyond program boundaries.  How not to think in 7 easy steps.

And what follows from that blind acceptance or desire to not be responsible for your own mind any more (i.e. giving up control) is the rejection and condemnation of critical thought processes, the rejection of all that is not exaclty like what you are, the rejection and condemnation of anything that threatens the fragile new non-thinking self.  

We know that's why people got their asses handed to them for thinking and being in their heads.  
Heck, I bought into it for a while, but I knew deep inside that I was lying - to and about myself and that I was lying to and about others.
But eventually, it got pretty lonely and I had to look beyond the simplton rules of the seed.

I don't think the staff members had any thing over the rest of us peons there at all.  In fact, they were probably not even relatively thoughtful thinkers - which is why they were PREFECT for the job. Could it be that they were more easily manipulated than the rest of us, and thus much more valuable because they didn't think ?

How contrary to the real world, where your ass gets handed to you everyday if you don't think about what you are doing.

It's just a thought.... :grin:
