  1. How edumacated are you?

    college education doesnt necessarily mean that people have higher IQs. I assume that there is a positive correlation though. vcraigp seems to represent a child from a ideal society, where children arent conditioned to be closed minded. unconditioned and myself seem to represent children from the more dominant society today, where children are taught to have closed minds. People from a society like this have to break free before we can join the real world.

  21. question about inner power

    short of enlightenment, you might try some psychic defenses these two are from wicca visualize a shield of positive energy around you, powered by the earth. It only allows positive energy to pass through to you. or visualize a mirror that reflects any negativity back to its origin one from a tibetan tradition for sleeping visualize 4 light green dakinis (female enlightened wrathful deities) protecting you as you sleep you could find more techniques if you tried, or you could make up your own i guess.
