[quote:Jovian:MV85NjMyNjNfMzcyMTY0NDRfQUI1MThEODM=] [quote:~~~37}13{73~~~:MV85NjMyNjNfMzcwMTcwMTVfNTM1QzI3RTI=] I have lurked this thread for years. I was in quest--remember being pulled from class to watch the shuttle blow up. I was learning algebra in 6th grade by a high school kid they brought in-on fridays in sixth grade a lady cam in to teach a few of us russian---which i thougt was odd my whole life. We did all sorts of societal ordering and world problem exercises.. wven did a mock united nations. Looking back all seems way advanced for my age. Also they humiliated me in music so I have never pursued but it is the thing that calls to me the most. I think i was marked and watched from birth. Im 37 now. And the last 6bmonths have beem surreal... anyway-i went into GATE or the gifted and talented i called it the goofy and twisted cause thats what it was. I was this 110 pd weakling in all 9th grade classes lunch--basically a seventh grade ninth grader. So had special classes most of the day-but was fucked as was marked by my peers-and the other goofyand twisters-were just not the most social types... but my G&T classes were like in the library tons of brainstorming lwft and right brain shit. Restarting whatever dissections heary after pithing-tiny writing-mythology as if it were religious-current event-patterns and shakespeare and Jung personality types-i continued till mid eith grade and dumbed down to my peers---found pot -a girlfriend-and been coasting forbyears. Life in Thailand now 7 years--and end dwcemver it became clear a frame had been set-the wife turned on me and we were in bliss day beforw---i am followed harassed and i look crazy if I say anything. My kids arw stuck amd many lives are being ruined. No one tells the truth and if I ask to much chaos ensues. I am a prisoner in my life-and any one close seems to turn on me also. Im ramnbling. Anyway-i started this shit which I know is paet and parcel of why always had a feeling--and now just my level of awareness without talking or communicating our plight-arouses the caretaker. I do wish I was nuts.from SLC Utah-was goofy twister there at bonneville jr high 86-88---Rh-Green eyes-not a dumbshit and I can still critically think for myself. So [/quote] Don't give up. Yes, this is a trying era, but you CAN repel forces that you feel are offending you directly. Honestly, I think it is about humility and letting go of the sense of being "special" that will do the trick. ...It is work on letting go of ego, in my experience. You have to open yourself to some new insight about your perceived situation, and be willing to let go of how you currently presume to "know" how things are. Essentially, when things seem really discouraging, you [b]have to[/b] make room in your mind for a fresh perspective. ...Keep the faith! :hugs: [/quote]

Were you ever removed, many times, from your regular class for "testing"?
Were you shown a series of high speed images on a television, not once, but many times?
Was the school psychologist selectively interested in you?
