Why did Max edit out all his quotes?

my dreadlocked russian jew girl appearance might be hard to get over too.. i've been trying to werk on my temper because it's not very pleasant.
about iq... well, it doesn't tell you very much aside from how well you've been trained, i think. i think we all have much more potential (there are many types of brilliance; the most valuable, to me, is not at all tested on an iq test: spiritual attunation (i don't think this is a "real" werd, but it is now) insight, and intuition.) than what the IQ test allows us to believe. they want us with higher iqs to believe that we're smarter than those with lower iqs, who've not been trained in the same way. that's not to say that they are not actually as smart or smarter, they're just not as sharp when it comes to thinking in this standard programmed american way. it's like a language that they're testing fluency in... but there are certainly other equally valuable languages.
i think we're all equally smart inherently, but our programming... well, that's a different story.
CEDU IS A CULT:
Yeah, I'll edit out the IQ comment. You're right IQ
is a bunch of bull.
I'm a bit heavily tatooed and long haired. We'd probably freak out some parents! j/k
Spiritual Attunation- I was recently reading about that. It is a real word. It was one of the last arguments given to Socrates the day of his execution. He argued, and I agree, that the soul is
not an attunation, but that it existed before our bodies existed, and exists eternally after our bodies die.
Read Plato's "The last days of Socrates" if you're interested. Its one of my top 3 favorite books (currently).[ This Message was edited by: Bryan Felsher on 2004-07-02 11:59 ]

oy. plato, socrates; philosophy books... that reminds me of my freshman year of college; i was a philosophical freak.
strange to hear that socrates talked about a werd that i thought i had made up. it's not that i think that our souls are attunation, it's just one of the three elements for our temporal characters to attune to(spirit first, then the body and the mind/cognitive processes. our bodies need be attuned with our spirits; the more attuned to your soul you are, the more divine your mundane presence is.... just trying to clarify my standpoint.)
well, i used to have plenty of metal through my flesh... i don't really wear any of it anymore, so, fortunately, it might make it a bit easier for those cedu parents to look past my un-conventional appearance.
CEDU IS A CULT:
definition of attune: to bring into harmony.
The body is not eternal. It is not unchanging. It is completely different at each moment. (cell theory is the most obvious reason)
The Mind/Cognitive proccess has the same characteristics.
Can we agree that the soul, however, is eternal and exists completely independent of the body?
The Soul, therefore, cannot be attuned to. If it can be attuned to, then it is an attunement. And the soul cannot be an attunement because that which is eternal cannot be brought into harmony with that which is non-eternal. In other words, the soul is an Absolute. The Body is not. The body and mind/cognitive process is ever changing. The Soul can never admit to the body without ceasing to be a soul. If it were an attunement, then what happens to the Soul after the body is destroyed, and where did the soul come from?
I would say it is important to keep the body in good health so that the lies our senses tell our minds can be kept to a minumum.
You mentioned 3 elements. I'm not sure but there may be only two elements of our temporal characters. Is our mind of the body or of the soul? Hmmm.....
mikehunt:
i know what attunement is
you can try to mute the communication between your soul and your body, which is where attunation comes into play. your body is your soul's puppet. your mind is a sort of messenger. you can try to pretend that your puppetmaster is not the true source of the messages relayed, but i really don't believe that it's true. attunation, to me, is recognizing the soul as the source, and listening to the communication between the three elements (i.e. paying attention to random intuitive bodily sensations and using your mind to translate their meaning rather than disregard or block them out.)
mind/cognitive processes... well, the cognitive processes are a product of the mind, but i werded it like that because it's not only the mind itself that needs to be attuned, it's the mind and its product. i guess that if the mind were attuned, then it's offspring would be as well, however, i just felt that i needed to state them as two separate concepts joined together to create one essential temporal element.
bascially, i didn't werd that last post very articulately... here's what i meant to say: the more attention one pays to the subtle communication between their soul and body, the stronger that connection will become, and the more divine that person's temporal existance will be. that's what i think about attunation. you know what i mean?
