Reading Ideas

I had an anthropology instructor who got her doctorate degree by doing her dissertation on the Island of Pulap (I think it's in Polynesia). She lived on Pulap for two years, along with her husband and toddler son. By the time she left Pulap to come back to the states her son had reached the age of 4 1/2. She did everything that she could to learn the language of Pulap and made a fair grade at it, but it was her young son who had "taught her" many of the words that she didn't know.
When a human is first figuring this world out, it has an innate ability to learn quickly (part of what helps it survive). Around the age of twelve years, said human starts to lose this somewhat effortless ability to observe, learn and pick up the actions, roles and culture of its elders. The synapses in the human brain start "closing off" and the pathways and processes of thinking that were never used before the age of twelve are, for the most part, lost. Most humans who grow up knowing only one language will have to make considerable effort learning a second language because they had never opened that particular doorway (synapse) in their brain before the age of twelve.
With the above concept in mind, I'd like to propose something for the CoasttoCoastAM army to consider when thinking about a human being's "full potential".
We all believe (or most of us do anyway) that we humans have mental/physical/spiritual powers that we have really yet to tap. This "tapping" into human potential must be done, for the most part, while we are still young. WE NEED TO BRING OUT OUR YOUTH'S "PSYCHIC" ABILITIES AS PART OF OUR SCHOOLING CURRICULUM. (We all know that this kind talk scares the hell out of those in power and that is perhaps why, somewhere in our human history, we were made to forget about our psychic abilities.)
Human child enters first grade = curriculum's format same as now so that child first knows that it must learn present school basics.
Human child enters second grade = 10 - 15 minute exercises in exploring psychic awareness per day.
Third grade = 20 minutes/day.
Fourth grade = 25 minutes....
Fifth = 30....
This goes on with each grade spending more time and getting more involved with each progressive grade. At grade six, with 45 minutes/day engaged in psychic awareness, children will have "opened" psychic doors in their brain (telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance, clairaudio, etc.) and can then keep growing with them to not only twelfth grade, with whole class periods dedicated to psychic teachings once in jr. high and high school, but throughout the whole of their lives.
We adults today have a hard time of reaching any kind of our psychic potential because most of us weren't allowed or made aware of our psychic abilities before we grew to the age of twelve. It is therefore our duty, for those of us who believe anyway, to start a grassroots movement that will make our government consider and recognize that there is more to a human being than just making it do grunt work for money that is doled out to it in order for it to survive. If our own technological government can't be persuaded to advance the grooming of the minds of our youth, then another technologically advanced country will then make the choice to teach it's youth to expand its psychic awareness and the brightest most capable humans will then be that countries citizens instead of ours.
I'd like some feedback on this, please.
good luck,

That learning is easier when you're young is a widely recognized and verifiable truth. Things like telekinesis however are unproven, esoteric nonsense.

If you believe in the existance of psionic forces, more power to you. Yet I find it somewhat weird how you talk about this topic as if you were dealing with scientific facts.

PS.: Please do not cross-post the same message to more than one forum.

Jaz - Ahhh, I have seen a human performing telekinesis first-hand, my friend. So yes, I do state the psychic nature of human as fact.
Unfortunately, the *powers that be* today (and, I'm sure, in the past also) are scared of this type of human potential and won't allow it to be discussed much in the *mainstream* media accept for debunking purposes. You, as with anyone, are entitled to your own opinion, but I request of you to search other forms of media besides that of which our government wants us to observe and adhere to before coming to a conclusion on any and all matters.
You have the world at your fingertips, literally with your keyboard, my friend; explore and perhaps gain a better understanding of other paths of thinking. This is somewhat mandatory, for us all, to be able to make informed decisions about the nature of human... and what it's going to take in order for us to have a more holistic perception of ourselves.
good luck,
truett

frank - I'm glad to see that you are taking interest in this kind of subject matter. For the "citing" that you request of me, I refer you to what I feel is the granddaddy of all sites:

frank - I've been an avid listener to C2CAM since '97. It is the 2nd largest listened to radio talk show in the world, with an average of twenty million listeners (Rush Limbaugh is #1 only, I believe, because he's on during primetime). It comes on in the wee-hours of the morning, and so, many people don't get an opportunity to hear it. To solve that dilemma, many people like me pay $6.95/month to be able to access the shows archives and listen anytime that we want. I like to hear "last night's show" while net surfing. (I am doing so now and the current subject matter is on commercializing space exploration so that civilians can participate too. Imagine a space cruise, much like a cruise ship travels the oceans on Earth, taking civilian passengers around the moon and back. Unfortunately, when this idea first gets implemented, it will cost around a 100 grand/ticket until it gets into full-swing.) Once you become a member, you have access to the Coast to Coast AM Forum (much like this site, only, please don't get upset with me, 100 times better) and you'd be amazed at the standard of intelligence and independent thinkers there.
If you are interested in breaking out of the paradigm that the main-stream type medias want you to live in and think about, I HIGHLY recommend becoming a member of "Coast to Coast AM".
Have a Great Day,

You seem to possess an eloquent style to express your points of view, so I'd be glad to carry on this conversation some more.

What do you believe are the reasons for the world conspiring here? A few "scared" leaders can't possibly bring a whole planet to become mute on something as real and ubiquitous as you claim it is.

You see, I did buy a lot of those theories on conspiracy on supernatural powers in the past but turned out to be bitterly disappointed when I confronted these stories with other sources (more about that here and here).

That's why I am more than sceptical now. The easy thing with conspiracy theories is, they're basically claiming to be a proof in theirself. The absence of hard evidence allegedly "prooves" the theory to be right. That defies any logic as you could "proove true" virtually any claim using that kind of reasoning.

Jaz - I appreciate your inclination towards skepticism; for I too am skeptical of much that I encounter in this life. To blindly (yes, I'm splitting this infinitive here, but it seems to fit rather well) believe or follow something or someone goes against the core of what it means to search for and find answers *for yourself* in said life. That being said, I will attempt to assuage your inquiry into my thoughts on *conspiracy theories".
I, personally, don't subscribe to much of the para-political type thinking that goes on in this world of ours. Yet, at the same time I also know that neither I nor do most Americans trust their government. Of this mistrust, *theories* seem to spring forth from the masses who are being controlled by the few. A theory is defined as something that can't be proven; it can only be disproved. Therefore, when a person is asked to "prove his theory", he cannot. Yet, that same person *can* reverse the burden back to the inquirer by requesting that said inquirer *disprove* the theory.
Now, as far as the "reasons for the world conspiring here"? That, my friend, is a matter that can require a whole Doctorate Degree Dissertation to answer, if done well. My only outlet to prove my point (points can be proven), in my limited time and this limited space, is to pose a series of questions to you for you to ponder at your leisure. Some of the thought provoking questions, with some viable answers, that I can immediately come up with are:

1) Q) If a particular asteroid was on a collision path towards Earth, and it was large enough that its impact would destroy life on this planet as we know it (much like the current thinking of what happened sixty-five million years ago when the dinosaurs perished), do you think that the government would tell us?
A) No. We as a nation/world would not go to work the next day.

2) Q) If a race of beings, other than Earth-Human, crashed their craft onto our little planet and our government was able to do some reverse engineering from said salvaged craft, create an Earth-made craft of similar design, secretly fly it around in Earth's airspace, and therefore cause a substantial increase in reported UFO sightings (I know, long sentence), would the government tell us?
A) No. Many Earth-Humans would then have to question their religious beliefs (of which religion is only a *theory*, correct me if I'm wrong) and there would perhaps be massive change to all that we once believed and therefore chaos might well result and extinguish what little sense of order we have and are still trying to cling to. We as a nation/world would not go to work the next day.

3) Q) If the Catholic Church found some documents titled "The Dead Sea Scrolls", and buried a significant amount of them in the bowels of the Vatican, hiding them from the rest of the world perhaps because some of said documents might well contain information that would likely destroy the Church and all that it has built (wait this isn't a theory, this is really happening), would the Church (will the Church) tell us about it and let us read the hidden information?
A) No. The ideals that many people live by would be shattered. We as a nation/world would not go to church the next day, and probably wouldn't show up for work for at least a couple of weeks.

I gotta bail, talk with ya later.
good luck,

No, that's cheap. No conspiracy of whatever sort could be so perfect that the job of proving it couldn't remain in your hands. Especially if it's something that's said to be completely ubiquitous, like psychic powers.

If a particular asteroid was on a collision path towards Earth, and it was large enough that its impact would destroy life on this planet as we know it (much like the current thinking of what happened sixty-five million years ago when the dinosaurs perished), do you think that the government would tell us?

In fact they openly admit that they wouldn't tell us.

If the Catholic Church found some documents titled "The Dead Sea Scrolls" (...) would the Church (will the Church) tell us about it and let us read the hidden information?

They probably wouldn't, but the church isn't the real world. As you said religion isn't about proof to begin with.

If a race of beings, other than Earth-Human, crashed their craft onto our little planet and our government was able to do some reverse engineering from said salvaged craft, create an Earth-made craft of similar design, secretly fly it around in Earth's airspace, and therefore cause a substantial increase in reported UFO sightings (I know, long sentence), would the government tell us?

That's a reasoning similiar to the one that had people burn innocent women as supposed witches in the past. Even if the government wouldn't tell us that doesn't make the rest (ET crashes to Earth, US army builds UFO) any more true.
