Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
As I suspected Bob. You provide a couple of terms and names I had to look up (and will look further). I attended a talk by Krishnamurti (very astute guy) in about 1970 in Santa Monica. I believe it was in the same auditorium where some years earlier I had been to a concert by Andres Segovia. But why...

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
It would be difficult by my question to understand that I have been working with computers since 1962, but I can't figure out how to select something to quote from another message and then include that quote in my reply message---I'm missing the manual, and I don't see it on the website.

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
Psychologists have implied that genius is the term describing people who have extraordinary capabilities, and originally, it seemed that was the situation. However, more recent findings indicate that genius would be the normal case if we didn't screw up our children. This damage isn't intentional, i...

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
Dennis, I mentioned living in Shillington (1977-1984) because it is contiguous to Reading, PA where Bob says he lives. No we likely never met, and I currently live in the mountains behind Palm Springs, CA.
And now we both see where Bob comes from regarding the Book.

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
My understanding of genius is that it is not extraordinary, but is common, yet just as commonly extinguished by parents, peers, teachers, ministers, and almost every person the child has exposure to. And as to "the book is written," and "the names of saved souls are listed in the book...

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
Bob Michael's writing is that of a very bright guy who is probably not an academic, but may well be self-trained. The reason I say this is that I spent my working years in technical publications, and quickly learned that good writers write for all, while academics write only for other academics. I s...

Re: Why I want to participate in this forum
Bob is correct in that the entirety of the humanity of many children is stolen by ignorance. It is this that I address. Have a look at the following: CHILDREN Soon after birth We baptize our children To cleasne their souls. Then begins The long, slow process Of teaching them sin. Every child is born...

Why I want to participate in this forum
I am deeply concerned (and am considering the writing of a book) about the loss of the potential of genius in children by age six, rarely to be regained. I am attempting to identify the causes for both the decline of genius in most children, and the encouragement of genius in a few. Assuming the val...
