Well, it's definately obvious that you graduated from the program....Do you honestly believe that CEDU is the only reason that you're alive today? If so, then staff really pulled a number over on you...the whole I'd be dead without Cedu story is the texbook Cedu-Alumni response... It's the thing that Cedu staff work hardest to make you say, because once you say it, Cedu knows that they have you...And you repeated to us the exact story that Cedu staff wanted you to tell...Tell me something, exactly how long did it take staff to break you down, before you started believing that horse shit?
They tried the same thing to me. For a 1 year and 7 months Cedu staff grilled me day in and day out about how my life is a pointless wreck, and that the only way I could succeed and live past my 18th birthday was thru Cedu. I always knew that was bullshit, even as I watched the rest of my peer group (those who stayed) drop their resolve one by one, as they became programmed idiots. Eventually, it came to the point where my own peer group became more obsessed with making me believe the Cedu Lie than the staff were!!! Apparantly, my "peers" couldn't be happy until every last one of us bought the same lies that they did. That's when I knew I had to get out, because I was not going to become one of them!!!
(Sinfullyholy) I'm not telling you this because I want to degrade you or put you down. On the contrary, graduating from cedu in itself is a traumatic experience, and after enduring 2 years of mind-fucking, it's easy for me to understand why you would say that Cedu is the reason you're alive. Cedu staff worked you over day and night for 2 years in order to make you say what you did. But you're not at Cedu anymore, and you DON'T have to agree with everything they tell you. Think About It!
If I were you, I would take some serious time to reflect on what has happened over the past 2 years. It's time to figure out exactly what YOU really believe, and seperate that from what CEDU told you to believe. This is a difficult process. It took me well over a year to completely purge cedu's influence from my mind, to come to grips with what had happened to me, and to once again become part of normal society. Unlike you, I did not graduate cedu, and I was fortunate enough to skip the final year of the mind-fucking profeets and work shops that you had to go thru. I imagine that because of this, your path back to yourself and to reality will be more difficult than my own. But it is a journey that you, and you alone must take.
It would be interesting to see in a year from now if you still feel that Cedu saved your
life. I sincerely doubt that you will, but only time will tell. Best of luck to you.
