True Love (satire)

in each person's heart, true love exists. Yet such love is not based on the myth that someone out there is The One.

Hidden by the idealism of romantic love is the heartache of ego-delusion, which often requires ignorance to sustain its agenda.

Often layers of trust need to be established for things to work out. Thus the romantic who trusts first is often betrayed.

True love must be cultivated by cutting through the myths of romantic love and replacing them with truth, even when such truths may cause romance to flee.

Let it flee, for in the place of romance, truth is the beginning of trust. This is why it is called true love.

The Three Factors of Adolescence

The following are notes made on Brent Cameron's interview with Joseph Chilton Pearce in March 2005 issue of Common Ground.

The adolescent's rapid physical development of the human brain itself occurs predominately in the pre-frontal lobes.

Along with the brain's growth spurt, which ends around age 21, comes the potential for:

1. A high sense of idealism
   
   • present models of idealism
     
   • occurs as early as ages 11-12
2. A sense of hidden greatness
   
   • the conviction that deep within the heart-mind is a core of self that is very great and that if people just realized how great they are, they would respect them.
3. The sense of great expectation
   
   • something tremendous is supposed to happen around the next corner or the next hill moment by moment
     
   • this is a heart-felt sense which will lead to their next stage of evolutionary development.

Commentary The interview makes the conjecture that public education tries to grow minds for university, not for human transcendence.

In doing so, the State might be sowing the seeds of discontent in its citizens.

For this is done for money, and not always for the benefit of the children.
