Let us take Dr. Pete, who can't possibly be a real psychologist. A real psychologist would not be calling Tom his nigah. Tom never used that term. Also, "Dr." Pete spoke of Tom's character. Character is defined as something that doesn't change. You can get over many things, but character is typically used in the psych biz to denote that which is persistent. So Tom is forever doomed and damned because of his character. Supposing. Just suppose that Tom was using this forum to unstress. That would be unusual in such a group where even something as trivial as getting the date or spelling of something wrong is bait for everybody to pounce on the poster and play "Now I've Got You, You Son of a Bitch", wouldn't it? Supposing Tom has done what he really says he's done: used years of rolfing, this EMDR thing he described, CCP and yagyas to get through the unstressing of a childhood of continuous horrors few of us could possibly imagine? Suppose that he's telling the truth. That he and Ben did not hit it off and it does take two to not hit it off. Suppose that this new thing he's pursuing which he reports allows him to do full program for the first time in many years without feeling bad. "Dr." Pete is allegedly in the business of curing people. But "Dr." Pete's diagnosis is that Tom has shown his character. He is forever doomed to be a sonofabitch. Tom can't be cured. Tom is beyond any of the hope and comfort of every and all religions, because though they offer forgiveness, redemption and go and sin no more, that's not something available to Tom. Because of Tom's character. But wait. Tom isn't just a sonofabitch. He's a classic seeker. He'll never find. He'll never progress. He'll never get anywhere. Because he's a classic seeker. Did Amma just drop in on you one day and that's why you now follow her? Oh. But that's not seeking, is it? Tom says his politics leans more towards those of the Aryan Brotherhood. It's bad to be a racist. You put someone in a category that in your eyes they can never, ever redeem themselves from. Being a racist is bad. Diagnosing someone from posts and heaping derision upon them on the other hand, is good. Right? ------------------------ Yahoo!
