Un-Schooling

Postby Seamus » Mon Feb 22, 2010 8:52 pm

There is an idea that Roage touched on in one of his articles on scribd. or maybe just one that he cited on there... anyway.. there appears to be a growing movement called 'unschooling' which is based on the premise that children are not born idiots, but can and will learn what they need to learn when they need to learn it. My friend from the Twelve Tribes, Peter, told me that he had a great conversation with a woman involved in that movement last night. When he got to the point of sharing some ideas he had gleaned from the main Roage site, she was fully online with it.

It just may be that we have large numbers of brothers and sisters we haven't met yet. :)

You see our numbers are now increasing geometrically and the confused will soon become a minority. Then we will know each other overnight and the game changes in a heartbeat.

You just prompted a viewing of DUNE : Alternate Edition v1.2 (fanedit)


I hope you're satisfied!

444 is a "no" or "the other path is more correct or the other choice is more correct", for me anyway.

333 means "Yes" or "correct path or choice".

What were you thinking of at the time of that number?

I got two 444s today within 5 minutes.

Interesting, I was actually thinking about whether that film would be beneficial to me or not. I'll keep an eye on that and see if it works out the same here. Not watched the movie, think I'll give it a miss until I look at this phenomena a bit closer. ;)

Many thanks

It has great symbolism and great information. The hook is that it is the ego hero who save the universe again. It is worth a look.

If you read the books, the illusion of a kind and benevolent Paul Muad' Dib is dispelled when he goes powermad.
