I could speculate on the environment Pg grew up in, but that would probably be going too far.
For me it was not until I was in my 30s I began to fully understand how the environment I grew up in affected me. Bad habits I inhered from my father.
Out of line? Again you argue your failures areother people's fault right?
It could not be your lack science and Lessans' pseudoscience. and his conspiracy theories about universities.
Delusions of grandeur and paranoia. Like Trump.
I am familiar with a number of pseudoscience.

Orgone energy is a term coined by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich for the "universal life energy" which he claimed to have discovered in published experiments in the late 1930s. Reich claimed that orgone energy was a "life energy" which filled all space, was blue in color, and that certain forms of illness were the consequence of depletion or blockages of the energy within the body. These theories are considered pseudoscience.[1][2][3]
Orgone accumulator.

The book and Lessans to me fits a category.
It doesn't. It feels like a slap in the face when you say this.
Scientology and the E-Meter.
Scientology is a cult. This has nothing to do with an organization of any kind. It isn't trying to recruit people for some greater cause. The only thing he is demonstrating is that man's will is not free, and when it is confirmed by science, much good will result when these principles are put into practice.
New Age crystal power is the belief that natural stones and crystals possess unique vibrational energies that can interact with human energy fields to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Popular in modern spiritual practices, crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and clear quartz are used to boost energy, reduce stress, and restore balance
In the 70s there was pyramid power. I knew a woman who slept under a pyramid frame. There were clams food stayed fresh longer under a pyramid frame.
Lessans is pseudoscience.
It's not pseudoscience. It's science.
Science will have to take the lead in affirming the accuracy of these principles before they can be applied worldwide. The truth will be very easy to convey once it is understood and acknowledged by scientists because it involves undeniable relations such as two plus two equals four, but when people have been taught for centuries that man’s will is free and the eyes are a sense organ, it becomes more difficult to break through these beliefs since the long tenure of preempted authority has confused opinions with facts and dogmatically closed the door to further investigation.
Way back there was a stream of people who believed in the paranormal and similar stuff, all claiming science just does not get it. Or when asked about a demonstration under controlled conditions it was said 'it does not work that way'.
Claims of levitation and telekinesis.
Well you can rest assured that this is not pseudoscience.
I'm on the borderline of putting you on ignore. You are very knowledgeable, Steve, about many things. I grant you that, but you are failing in this thread and are looking more and more like a playground bully.
You do not need any permission to post on your thread, You are in the driver's seat.
You must know how the responses and questions you will go. If you look at other threads you will se it is what the forum in part is about.
I know how the forum is run, and I don't begrudge anyone. It's just unfortunate, not because the people here are not intelligent (they are the type of individuals who have the capacity to understand this knowledge), but because of the naysaying that has taken hold. A lot of assumptions have been made that preclude me from being able to proceed.
I calls it likes I see it. Pseudoscience.
I looked through the book and listened to your claims, argument and alleged proofs. Noe of it m,akes sne.
Because you're not listening. You're skimming. I asked you the very basics. What are the two principles that lead to the discovery? You won't answer. How in the world can I do this book justice if you won't meet me halfway?
You say if te Sun is switched on we word see objects on Erath after a dealy but we se te Sun withut delay. There is no physical evdince to dmonstrate that,. Heasr on Erath it canbe testd uysng ordnary teste quipopnt I can get oline.
If you understood why we would see the Sun turned on before we would see each other, then it wouldn't feel so strange. But you refuse to give him a chance. This man would NEVER have made a claim he wasn't sure of. NEVER!!!!
Responses to visual stimulus are seen by MRI and electrical neural activity. There are no mysteries about vision.
They can map out what is happening between the retina, the optic nerve, and the brain, but they still cannot show with absolute certainty what the brain is doing. Can they map out an image inside the brain? Is it anywhere to be seen?
There is nothing in the brain or nerves that is not mapped, there is nothing to support your alternate vision claims.
Until they can restore vision to the blind by providing artificial impulses that allow a person to have normal sight, there is no absolute proof as to the direction we see.
We looked at te bookm listed to you, and gave you a fair shake.
You have repeated what science claims to be happening. If you think you have given me a fair shake, then scrap this thread. You are not under any obligation to be here.
Yiou raht as Lessans did about academia being out to get people like him nailing him to the cross.
I can only tell you what he went through in his lifetime. It looks like very little has changed. If you don't have an in, or certain credentials, then you're out of luck. I understand why this is necessary today, but many discoveries will never be seen as a consequence. Richard Milton said it better than I could:
Any contribution to knowledge in terms of rational analysis, or resulting from the different perspective of those outside the field in question, is lost to the community. In its most extreme form scientific tabooism closely resembles the behavior of a priestly caste that is perceived to be the holy guardians of the sacred creed, the beliefs that are the object of the community’s worship. Such guardians feel themselves justified by their religious calling and long training in adopting any measures to repel and to discredit any member of the community who profanes the sacred places, words or rituals regarded as untouchable. Perhaps the most worrying aspect of the taboo reaction is that it tends to have a cumulative and permanent discriminatory effect: any idea that is ideologically suspect or counter to the current paradigm is permanently dismissed, and the very fact of its rejection forms the basis of its rejection on all future occasions. It is a little like the court of appeal rejecting the convicted man’s plea of innocence on the grounds that he must be guilty or why else is he in jail? And why else did the police arrest him in the first place? This ‘erring on the side of caution’ means that in the long term the intellectual Devil’s Island where convicted concepts are sent becomes more and more crowded with taboo ideas, all denied to us, and with no possibility of reprieve. We will never know how many tens or hundreds or thousands of important discoveries were thrown in the scrap heap merely because of intolerance and misplaced skepticism.”
My impression way back at the start was Lessans was self aggrandizing. Equating himself to ancient philosophers.
I can't help that he was on par with ancient philosophers. Why are you putting these individuals on such a high pedestal where they are like gods to you? Is this your new religion?
The nonsense about kids falling in love and sex organs is childish at best. Given what we know now of sex abuse today It makes me wonder to be honest.
I cannot deal...don't you see what Pood is doing? He's still using any tactic he can to ruin this knowledge. You would really like this book, but you won't allow yourself to read it.
Even on a smaller scale, it has helped me tremendously in my life.
Proclaiming the greatest discovery of all time, delusions of grounder.
No, it's not delusions of grandeur. If it can do what he claims it can do, then the word "grandeur" is appropriate, not delusion.
Professors are out to nail me to the cross, paranoia.
Please stop, Steve. I can see what you're doing. You have a preconceived idea (as does everyone here), so anything that is presented is used against him. He was the most unparanoid person that anyone could ever meet. He was very even keeled in every way, I'm trying to share with you who he was, and I was his daughter. I think I knew him better than you. Geeze!!!!!!
Like Trump. Trump claimed he should have gotten a Noble Peace Prize and claimed Norway conspired to deny him the prize.
I never heard Lessans say he deserved a Nobel Prize.
He wasn't interested in his legacy. He was only interested in passing this knowledge along.
I do feel for you and what you may have been exposed to at a young age.
Don't feel for me. I am doing fine because of what he taught me.
Put me on ignore or not. It will not change anything,.
Just don't go too far with your knocks that are below the belt, and I won't put you on ignore.
There is a lot of pseudoscience and other beliefs that have taken hold and persisted. Yday Siulpation Theory appears to be popular. We are in a computer simulation.
That Lessans got no traction is more about Lessans than anything else. Te book is poorly written.
You can blame me for that. I really don't care. I don't see how you can judge because you have not read the book in its entirety. It's very easy to criticize when you are not the one in the hot seat. Even if the book was written in crayon with no punctuation or perfect syntax, if it changed your life for the better, I don't think you would care about his writing style. You would thank him and be extremely grateful for what you learned.
