Gosh, I watched it or like a week ago. It's very inspirational and dramatic. I wish I was her in a matter of studying hard. It's been 8 years since that movie was released.

BOTH NEED TO BE APPLIED not just conceptualized. Many say, "Knowledge is power". NO, it's APPLIED knowledge and APPLIED knowing. This is why I took your Silva course in the early 80's and from the "knowledge" gained from that knew that the MIND BOX would help me continue in the right direction when I came upon "THE AMERICAN MONK"! I'd been there with you. Our paths cross again. "Knowing from the deepest depths of your spiritual and emotional self, that you have developed perfectly positive belief systems in every aspect of your life" (see above) is my direction at this time. Question Burt; Do we ever stop evolving? I believe I know the answer. What's yours? "Knowledge is an intellectual process that comes from acquiring information
Knowing is a spiritual/emotional process that comes from true experience" (see above) Burt's words.

Furthermore, I met this foster youth, who had gone through some 13 foster homes. And with little time left for high school, she called on me to be her mentor. After graduating from High School; I drove her to College for enrollment. She later became a tutor, graduated with honors from this 2-year college! Was accepted by some four first class 4-year colleges. She went on to UC Berkeley; Graduated Phi Beta Kappa! Now accepted at several Law Schools, from which she'll choose! There's nothing like the undaunting Spirit of Intestinal Fortitude! She had a Vision; Endorsed the four-Ps of: Purpose; Picture; Plan; Participation; A lifelong Compass for Many! Hurrah! for the undaunted Spirit! I can identify with this tenacity of purpose. Furthermore, I met this foster youth, who had gone through some 13 foster homes.

I am not the sharpest tack in the box. I was always put in the slow group's in school and that's because I have a hard time understanding. My comprehension levels are very low, and I have problems with remembering what I have learned. When I go to recall it...it's just not there, it's like I never learned it in the first place. I would give anything to be smart, but it doesn't matter how much I study my brain just won't hold on to it. What do you do in a case like that? It's hard to live up to your potential when your brain refuses to work. My IQ is nil, and my self confidence is nil, and right now my future look's to be pretty nil as well. I'm 59 and have been trying all of my life to make something out of my self. I want to know what is wrong with my brain that it won't work like other people's. I'm so frustrated.

However, I think that conscious modeling is origin-like and it is uncanny. That is, isn't there any subjective and individual side? When I am caught by "tedium", and when losing "gentleness" further, the following "thoughts" appears. "Isn't it deceived well?" "The hope is not taken into consideration from the start." And coming to the next are various guesses and delusion. If it comes so far, energy will be extracted by generalities, such as "exhaustion of resources", "supply rule", and "a survival fight", and my heart will separate from the direction of selection of the first attitude. I had the following viewpoint. "It collapses" is the same in "Its footing is regained." That is, it is that called the polarity of the difference in the grade of the same "attitude."

I raised my children by myself and I worked . I also attended a short stint in college. To make a long story short I went through a lot so I could see why Sherri is upset. Unlike some other homeless people I had an upper hand though I've always thought differently now that my children are grown I have come to realize that I was doing a lot of what Burt Goldman shares for a number of years. I realize I can go so much further as result now so I do think that it's do-able. So many people work against the tide if they would think differntly and not fight with the tide but rather flow it will be so much easier.

Mind is conscious and subconscious. What is the subconscious charge? If the energy of mind is charged with something, can one expect the opposite? Like Titanic going straight on the way, the power of going may be stronger as that of will. In such a case, the transformation of the subconscious charge of mind may be important to achieve goals. When one says power of will he may be joking. The transformation of subconscious energy may be so important as to right one's path by will. One thousand lives to you good Mr. Goldman. Humankind need you. Will? Mind is conscious and subconscious. What is the subconscious charge? If the energy of mind is charged with something, can one expect the opposite?
