PURE, can you make my kid love me again?
Paul St. John:
Children who will not break today,
may very well be the heors of tomorrow.
Imagine if Einstein was sent to such a program.
What a loss we would all be at, that all his contributios were never given to the world, but rather Eintein grew up to be a man talking about bullshit terms, and rationalising, and life skills, and how some program saved his life, or how he handed himself over to some higher power.
I say " what a loss we would all be out", but if I may be so bold..
More importantly, is what a loss for him!
It's the people who have handed themselves over to higher pwers who make the most difference in the world.
In this society, there is a lot of pressure, on parents to make sure that there kids " fit in", or else the parent is said to be a bad parent or perhaps, they will reflect negatively upon the parent in some other way.
The real question is when narrowed down to essence...
Is can we be enough of heros for our kids..
Can we brave enough for them..
To let them find that in themselves?
My kid came up with the equation: E=MC2
My kid recites: " what goes around comes around"
What a fucking difference.
Yeah.. there s definatly a lot of pressure to make our kids fit in or appear normal.
When you allow yourself to know of, and accept that that pressure is there, but not give into it, and continue to maintain course, driven by your own convictions, desires, inner musci, etc.
You shine like the proverbial pot of gold.
Your children will learn to do the same.
What better can you give them?
Paul St. John:
It's the people who have *NOT* handed themselves over to higher pwers who make the most difference in the world.

Yeah. They just tend not to be the type to complain and panic so much. I've talked to some of those who got reeled in just as far as their first WWASP interview, followed a gut feeling and checked the crentials of the "eductaion consultant", found they had a bachelors in sales and said "Fuck this!"
It's refreshing and reasuring. So, if anyone who stumbles accross this forum feels the need to jump in and tell us that we're all idiots and psychopaths right about now, I won't take it the wrong way. :em:
The fatal pedagogical error is to throw answers, like stones, at the heads of those who have not yet asked the questions.

Yeah, but it's not all, probably not even so much, about making the parents look good. It's about fear. And it's about that dear old friend, our high tolerance for congnative dissonance.
A lot of parents ride herd on their kids more than their heart and gut tell them to because they're afraid of what we'll do to them if they let them just be natural kids. But, in order to groom the kids to not be that nail that sticks out and gets the hammer, they have to teach them to conform to unnatural limits. In the course of doing so, they can't disrespect those limits. They're trying to teach the kids to honor and never question those limits, after all, so they don't get nailed for colouring out of the lines. They can't divulge the simple rule, because it's not an honorable rule.
It's a real catch 22. And if you get into fractals, take a close look at PURE and how they evolved. These seem to be the parents of those kids who spotted and could not unsee that spark of individuality in their parents and would not conform to the cover story. But they don't want the kids to suffer the consequences for it. But they have to become the draggon. But they're not. But they are...
Totalism is madening! Crazymaking! The high irony seems to be that people who most crave spiritualism and are least able to find it are the ones most likely to fall into the trap.
What experiences and history teach is this-that people and government never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.

Ginger, your orignal post on this thread is a letter from PURE. Did you go on line on the PURE website and fill in the survey and submit it. Then the remainder is a letter from PURE in which they responded to your post? Did they ever give you any names of any of the programs that they "recommend?"
