Actually I was playing on the human minds tendency to "lose" information. As in, you won't remember every little thing.

It's like saying "people who have dreams about their teeth falling out... XYZ" Because, well, we ALL have dreams about our teeth falling out.

My mother was injected with diethylstilbestrol while pregnant. It's a synthetic growth hormone that was used sporadically from 1938-1971 in the thought that it helped prevent miscarriage. Anybody else?

No, but I am full of congenital defects and have a higher incidence of dying from a rare cancer. It also was the source for my fertility and l&d issues. Isn't that funny, too?

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?
 Quoting: Jane Grey 862970


Yes,

Near Santa Barbara, often until I was caught smoking cigarettes. After which they just halted.
In addition to the battery of tests and labs, there was a movie I watched in a room by myself that resembled a movie titled "Future Shock" that the entire Junior and Senior classes assembled for approx. 4-5 years later.

Re: Were You Part Of The "Mentally Gifted Minds" Program In California Scools back in the 70's?
It's okay. Btw, I was a really big baby--10 pounder but that's unlikely to be tied with DES (an estrogen). The reason why I'm asking is that a curious aspect of the DES exposed children is an effect on the lateralization of the brain and handedness. Basically, a possibly more flexible brain. Ironic that I would end up in a program whose focus was on left/right brain development, isn't it? I'm not sure what entirely is ticking through my head and I certainly haven't found any research on google scholar that would point to any deliberateness. However, what I did find was that, by the time I was dosed as a fetus, they had been talking for almost 10 years about congenital defects associated with the growth hormone, DES.

Other thing I noted while looking at all this stuff was a whole lot of interest in the endocrinology of the placenta, mother and fetus and experimentation with the injection of hormones. Most of the time, it involved lambs, rats and the like. Something else I stumbled across was HGH being associated with curvature of the spine and the discussion about scoliosis on this thread immediately popped into my mind.

Hence why I'm asking these questions. Hormones, prenatal injections and the like? Big babies? So far, in private query, we're 4/4 on big babies so I may be onto something here.

I don't know how anyone on this thread can help. We were in an educational system based program. The weight as a baby thing was to see if that was another common denominator among us because of the mention of physiological oddities. From what I could tell, growth hormones were being experimented with for a long period between the 60's through the 80's. I know for sure that a growth hormone was used on my mother prenatally. Another was found to cause curvature of the spine when given to healthy, normal children.

I don't know if what you're going through is related to any of this thread. I haven't developed any new powers. I just think infinitely faster now. Other than knocking down my dissociation, that's the only other thing that has changed. Whatever you are going through, hang in there.

Aye. Oh and Gowan's works are back online. Seek (on Google) and ye shall find (loathe to post the link to them lest they disappear again).

For latecomers: largest part of info dump on the programs is between pages 214ish to 225ish.

The heart can be manipulated and deceived.
Hell, I've got video of me madly infatuated with someone that I don't remember and would never be attracted to without some serious drugs involved.
The gut, that can be manipulated too.

How about "go with your primal instincts and good fucking luck"?

If you mean having the feeling like you're having super deep totally internalized seizures, then yes. If you mean feel antsy, then yes, probably that, too. If you mean feeling like you have hives, no. More like that "someone walking over my grave" feeling. Oh, and I've become incredibly reclusive.
