  1. Yeah, but only the ones who have since forgotten or weren't paying attention in the first place.
  2. So personality disorders are devil possession? Now, where have I heard this before? (Looks up page number in Advanced Class syllabus.)
  3. The red water represents your "off the word" thoughts. The clear water represents your "on the word" thoughts. By slowly displacing the red water with the clear water, you are eventually left with a glass that has no room left for red water. What's that phrase we used to say? Oh, yeah, Renew Your Mind. Ship of Theseus Now, as far as the subconscious goes, the thinking was that all thoughts are spiritual in origin and what is called subconscious thought is really spiritual thought from one source or the other. Thus, you have no subconscious thought that is truly your own. edit: I didn't write the... syllabus.
  4. Are you seriously telling me you don't understand this concept? Wow. Just. Wow! "Out with the bad air, in with the good."
  5. Renewed Mind...Dealing With The Adversary Additional installments in the PFAL series of classes
  6. These 2 paragraphs conflict with what was taught in subsequent classes, such as RM, DWA, etc. It was presented within the structure of the official PFAL series of classes. It was not in what you like to call TVTs. There was an example given using a pitcher of red kool-aid to illustrate. In the example a pitcher of red kool-aid was described as being placed under a faucet of clear, running water. Incrementally, the red water was displaced by clear water until all the red water was gone. The "birds nesting" example was from Orientalisms. edit: It became the rationalization given for the "en garde!" usage of retemory cards/verses.
  7. Does anyone else remember being taught (Advanced Class or Dealing With The Adversary, perhaps?) that the subconscious is a fallacy? Something about everything really being spiritual background noise or ...something. I think that was proposed as part of the idea behind throwing retemories at undesired thoughts, "keeping the birds from nesting where they land". We were supposed to be the ones who made the decision which thoughts to entertain and which to discard. Somehow, 50 years of life experiences have clouded the details for me.
  8. English is a goofy language, ya know? "Shut down" can have more than one meaning. Are you saying that he, himself, closes his mind to more thorough deliberation or that he attempts to silence alternative opinions? I'm not sure it matters either way. I'm just seeking a bit of clarification, here

    The radio version is actually quite good.
  10. An apple isn't an apple. It only represents one.
  11. It's a good thing you're not a mother. Your baby would be sitting in a poopy diaper for an awful long time.
  12. Oh, but not when I did it. I was always sincere and selfless in my intentions. /s
  13. I ain't broke but I'm badly bent. Everybody loves those Dead Presidents.
  14. I wonder if they had black lights to go with those posters. Maybe a little patchouli burner on the coffee table.
  15. Entreating people to embrace the words of a serial rapist. What could possibly be more loving than that?
  16. I'm thinking he wasn't paying attention the first time he heard it. Or maybe he just forgot.
  17. Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation. They put him under guard, because it had not been explained what should be done to him. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.” So, as the Lord commanded Moses, all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him with stones, and he died. Must have been God's will.
  18. I can't remember the last time I used cash for anything, aside from the coin-drop, self serve car wash..

    Love is what makes Subaru a Subaru.
  20. Throughout large portions of history, the common man has experienced widespread illiteracy. Even today, illiteracy exists, often by forced edicts. Equating words with books is a false comparison. Yes, books often contain words and words often define the content of books. So what? Apples contain juice. Juice is found in oranges. Are apples oranges? When someone has an inordinate fixation or obsession for books in general or a specific collection of books, regardless of whether the books contain words, as some books are exclusively visual in nature, we call that...bibliolatry.
