Stewert Swerdlow radio interview (Page 3 of 3)

I was wondering when the crickets were going to disappear after your post Kato3 .  I was working late nights all this week, and so didn't have the opportunity to do that powerful post justice with a proper response.  And then I logged on here and low and behold LightningEye resonated to and shared some of the exact words out of my head:

A big thank you from me too for what you shared, it had such a clear pristine force to it.  I've noticed when reading things you have written that there are certain words and phrases in there that seem to trigger a deep... almost contemplative silence where I am experiencing many different levels I was previously unaware of. I found myself doing that a lot in this one, as there was so much meaning behind meaning, layer upon layer, and, I guess the best  term I can think of right now is that it was a true multi-dimensional experience. 

What you posted on stabilized perception was awesome.

That is bang on.  I realize how often I limit myself with stabilized perception; put things into a box, only seeing what I empower and allowing that to add force to my sponsoring beliefs, and limiting my experiences of those around me... it really is something to be continually conscious of. I thought it was so interesting in terms of this thread, and I picked up on this stabilized perception before your post and afterwards.  I found the silence after your post was truly deafening, and was thinking that there were so many levels and layers, that our beliefs and perceptions were the limit to what we would experience from what you shared... so in essence that silence made perfect sense, because it was such a different feel from what had been previously posted... thus those looking or fixated on the previous resonance would pass their eyes over it, sans comment or maybe even notice.. and it would and did take time before anyone addressed it. It was like you were invisible , and I was almost relieved when I saw Lightning posted today haha

This is such a powerful thing, as we are so often drawn into the trap of making everyone and everything wrong and outside of ourselves, creating enemies, instead of really looking within and seeing where we might be able to choose differently; to choose love, to choose to end the patterns we perpetuate, to choose to stop our enemy patterning.  Also, that you have gratitude to those who don't hold the yummy and easy to love parts, that instead of making it wrong, you understand how difficult it is for them to hold this for you; that's beautiful.  This is so true in my family, where I have to remind myself that they are holding these things for me to look at, and it's causing them pain to hold it for me, in the same way it causes me pain to experience what they're showing me, until I process it and release us all.  Obviously as your post read and LightningEye just shared, one needs only to flow from their heart and out of resistance, be authentic and present,  and those that can and are willing make the shift will join, and the rest seem to gracefully fall away. That's been my experience of it for sure. Thank you for sharing that paragraph, it had beautiful lessons in it.

That part cracked me up. It’s spot on too, the whole bit with the designer drugs, hah.   I would have to say as a fellow junkie myself, I could recommend you a batch that has served me well in the past.  Loneliness sautéed in a heavy oil of alienation, battered in an, oh so special blend of "woe is me" breadcrumb,  lightly spiced with self dislike, and let's not forget my favorite brand of dipping sauce, the downward spiral, for that added hint of flavor that does you right for the next week or two.  Shoot up friends!

Much Much Love, DasMoooooooose

A scandal was unearthed on a national and state level where loan companies had deals with colleges to essentially force students to use their services. In other words students couldn't choose their lender because the school had a deal with a particular lender and also received a hefty cut of the dough. Banks were involved too and they were giving money back to the schools while the poor students sunk further into debt. Its still going on, but many states are starting to look into it and create rules so that lenders won't have these kinds of monopolies.

I thought a lot about what path I would have taken had I known the amount of money I owed and the difficulty in finding a job, but I realized I would have ended up going for a higher degree anyway, the reason being that it is harder to make a living and have a pension without a higher degree where I live and where I live is very expensive. I'm starting to think about moving though.

Is there any way to specify how much you want to borrow?

And when did that control get taken away from the student?
