Really? Are you sure you didn't just learn what they wanted you to learn?

Wait now - let me get this straight - It's SUBCONSCIOUS when your past actions are hurting other people and you have begun to follow the seed teachings? Are you saying that none of the choices you made pre-seed were conscious choices? I find that really hard to believe. They may have been really bad choices - not well thought out choices, but by no means could your choice to smack your mom with an iron or participate in a strong-armed robbery have been subconscious choices. Those, my friend, were deliberate, conscious acts.

That's a pretty telling statement there. Look it over and reflect on it.

I am remaining anon because I can't stand drama, and I just don't choose to hear the rebuttles.
Enough said. I won't waste anymore of my time -or yours. I am glad, though, that the program worked for you and made a difference in your life. It's great that someone took an interest in you, helped you learn to care about yourself and to care for those around you. What you got was more personal attention than most other people ever got, which in your case, may have been a good call on Ms. Connors' part. It's just too bad it could not have been that way for other kids.
My opinion of the program might be much different (and more like yours) if my experience was as personal and caring as you remember yours to be. We may disagree about the value of the seed, but then, well,you know what they say about opinions ...everybody has one. :wink:

Good Lord, anon! Where have you been hiding yourself? You sound exactly like you just graduated yesterday. How does somebody maintain that level of total indoctrination over these many years? Is there like a secret Seed that's been going on and on for over thirty years now somewhere in the Tampa Bay area?
The public schools are...designed around the assumption that all of the participants are irresponsible and incompetent...The result is the creation of an organization which is incapable of change. Every member of the organization is concerned with keeping his superior happy.

Welcome anon! Please choose a user name and stop being afraid of "drama and rebuttal". Those two things may lead you to a better understanding of just what exactly you were involved in.
Again, a cult isn't always a negative experience for every attendee. Just because it wasn't negative for you in no way furthers any argument that it wasn't a cult.
Welcome again.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
Although "Why we sing jingle bells" got a little old with me, most of my best memories of Christmas were at the Seed. I remember my first white christmas in Cleveland which truly was magical. I also had lots of nice palm tree christmas's as well. I hated christmas as a kid. I love everyone of them now. I'm getting ready to go to one of my fireman brothers homes for a extended family christmas. Lots and lots of little ones. I may even be more excited than some of my great neices and nephews.
All differences aside I wish all of you a magical holiday. ::dove:: [ This Message was edited by: Ft. Lauderdale on 2005-12-22 05:15 ]

I need to say this also.
I hated sports as an 18 yr old. I was never good at any, no one took the time to show me and get me past any bad habits or difficulties. I played on both teams. (probably sometimes for beig in the dog house or whatever)
I hit my first home run at age 25. I learned how to play football quite well. I really learned to love it( yes maybe wheather I liked it or not) I still really love it. I love volly ball. I'm a pretty damn good ping pong player(unfortunatly probably along with many mental hospital patients)
and I love tennis. (Actually my dad and grandfather were both really good tennis & ping pong players but before the seed I had never played with them :grin: ) Neither one were ever any mental institutions. lol :grin:
