In all your brilliance, theorizing and cognizing (is that a word?) the only way that I can fathom how you can poo-poo the most Wonderful Person whose ever lived is by acknowledging the truth of your own opening paragraph..."Unless you can be aware of something (which is what cognition is all about) you can’t be moral about it, feel something about it, create art about it, develop faith around it, organize a self around it, or develop in any other way regarding it." Christ not only lived but---LIVES...I hope you become aware of Him my friend so that you may feel for Him, develop your faith around Him and find Him to be the worthy Center around which your life should revolve...And I'm not talking religion I hate that stuff...I'm talking Christ, the person...The Person of History not mythology...Find Him Friend FROM BILL: The historical Jesus of Nazareth was an enlightened individual. You think he was "the great exception." I think he was "the great example." As St. Paul said in his Epistle to the Philippeans, "Let the mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus..."

I've seen children indicate through signing such abstract concepts as "more" before the age of 1. Does this mean that we need to update what is going on at these early ages that hasn't in the past been expressed by children and what it obviously possible for these very young children? I recently heard that children before the age of 1 are not just lying there doing nothing, they are very busy constructing language...now that's a pretty abstract and complicated piece of work! Bill,

I hear that question a lot lately. How well do you know yourself? I can say with complete honesty, that I know my self better now than I ever have. Holosync has changed my life and I wish with all my heart I could see you and say that so don't be suprised if I get what I wish for, it's been happening a lot lately. Holosync has opened a whole new world for me. It came not like a bolt out of the blue, but soft gentle as a lovers first kiss. The first thing I learned is Resistance (the ego) is suffering. Acceptance Causes a shift in awarness of the connectedness of the whole. If I hurt someone I hurt myself, If I hate someone I hate myself. If I cause strife I will have strife. If i give love I will be loved. The biggest thing I have learned about myself is that I have to actually want what I wanted when I get it. Every day is another chance to be filled with a joy that is beyond my limited education to define. I would like to see you make a movie one day that shows how to do some of the things are done. I am a visual person. I would like for the whole world to see to feel. There has to be some way. Well I am going now. I finally have started that garden in the back yard of that beautiful home I always dreamed of but until I stopped resisting It came. The best to you and yours. Hi Bill

Now I can concentrate when I listen to you and I can listen several times to fully digest what you say. It doesn't matter if I agree or disagree, I studied Piaget and others in Developmental Psychology and Linguistics,( I teach English in Greece) and I often didn't agree, but l always learned something. With what you write and the podcast, I feel I'm back in the classroom and I LOVE it. Thank you so much. Kathleen Thank you so much for the podcast.

Ver batem. This is pretty typical with my life in this world. It was so interesting where you wrote: "cannot clearly tell where his body stops and the environment begins, creating a hallucinatory blurring of subject-object boundaries.". I have described this to therapists time and time again. No one understands. My mind litterally feels like it supports my body... controls it. It is separate from my body physically. All of my movements are almost consciously controlled. This has resulted in my having... faulty muscle recruitement patterns and as a result pain in many joints in my body. I also have the physcosis to go along with it. Anxiety, depression, dissociation, no real sense of self apart from the environment... etc. It has been termed "sensory integration disorder", "layered muscle imbalance", "complex PTSD"... etc. I lived, and as a result have this stuff in me still, in a traumatic environment from the womb basically. Father always yelling and then beating me when I was old enough for him to justify it in his own mind. So it wasn't safe for me to move without thinking about it, because it wasn't safe for me to leave my mind out of fear. I was always watching my environment very closely... became it. It made me a very good athlete. But as an adult, the psychological manifestations that were hidden but inevitable to birth, manifested themselves. I am on Awakening Level I, just starting CD 2 with affirmations. But I recorded so many affirmations at such a high rate of speed... i don't know if they will be effective. I would appreciate any advice that you can give. Thanks so much for this article. I have personal experience of what you are saying. I am not a doctor and dont' have a degree in development from a psychosematic level. But my thoughts on my own development parallel, sometimes shockingly close, to what you are describing. But then again, they are only thoughts. And I am prone to projecting my thoughts onto my view of the world. Any thoughts you have would be very much appreciated. I dont' have the money to go to the expensive retreats. I am already doing a movment science recently developed by Eric Cobb called Z-health. I still can't get past my body. Anyway... I'll end there. Thanks in advance Bill. Sincerely and in peace (as much as my mind can muster), Billy Bill,

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 22:30:18 +0000 http://www.centerpointe.com/blog/2007/11/26/15/#comment-3089 I find myself very much in agreement with everything that Stephen Carter said. Your promulgation of the Piaget system of psychology highlights the modern mania with labeling everything and assuming that by so doing you've automatically 'understood' it. I'm tempted to say that you should get into the writings of David R. Hawkins who points out the ultimate aridity of all purely intellection-based viewpoints but that would involve interfering in the free will of another and these days I hope that I'm no longer that naive; the general thrust of everything you're saying here is ultimately in a direction that reaffirms and consolidates the ego of the individual but ultimately the return to God or experience of mystical matters requires that one move in exactly the opposite direction, one that systematically de-constructs the ego! Everything you say sounds very plausible but I'm convinced that the entire tenor of it is to push people in a direction that is probably 180 degrees the opposite of what will ultimately serve their highest good. But I will read the other articles that you've posted in this series anyway! Why be human if you can't be perverse sometimes?

Hm-mm. The bottom line to all of this is this, YOUR MIND IS YOUR POWER. Thoughts are Living Energy. If you don't use your power properly, then it is being used by others improperly. The world we live and have our experience in and all that we perceive as life today is a testament that the mass consciousness is a direct reflection and result of individuals not using their mind properly. When the masses realize who and what they are as opposed to who and what they've been taught they are this type a dialog will be unnecessary. Hi Bill,

The massive amount of information I have acquired from you over the last 6 or 7 years and the Holosync Mediation levels, have not only inspired me to become more aware of my thoughts, feelings and beliefs; it has also been a tremendous guide to me in helping others through my website.
