Introduction/Parapsycholgy

[Guest guest]

Thank you James. I'll look into this guy--I'm in Madison, WI--but maybe I can

work something out.

 

Blessings to you,

Ana

Ana

If I could sum up my experience it would be a big crazy scream.

Actually I have done some reading around and I think I have been

suffering from post traumatic stress due to the " treatment " .

It is very scary indeed when we muddy the waters between behaviour

and health... As you say, behaviour is to do with culture!! My

experience was akin to torture.

For masters in parapsychology, look at Motoyama and cihs in

california. I am seriously attracted to the " life physics " program.

He has done lots of work on kundalini and TCM.

Lots of love to you, if we can go through these terrible abuses and

still reach enlightenment then there is hope for the world!

Bless James

experiences in them as I was a teenager in the 80's and the popular

thing for frazzled parents in the US to do back then was to lock

their kids away in these places (along with a bogus diagnosis and

unneccessary medications) for as long as the insurance would cover

it.

me to get my undergrad degree (and Master's as we speak) in the

field of Psychology in order to " understand the enemy " more, and

perhaps (who knows?) contribute to some changes... As far as I

understand it, " sanity " or " normalcy " is entirely culturally defined

anyway--so who's to say really what is " normal " ?
