Re: Unencumbered Sensual Acuity

Hello James...

I know you posted this quite a while ago, but I've been gone for about a
week on
holiday, but I'd still like to respond to your wonderful question.

While I was on my vacation I had the chance to play with a 7 year-old boy
who
has been labelled by everyone around him as such things as "problem child",

"undisciplined little brat", "Attention Deficit Disorder", "hyperactive",
"stupid", and
many more such things...I myself have even indulged in this sort of
labelling from
time to time, but NEVER inside of an interaction between myself and him.

I mean what would be the point?  I can't speak for the outcomes of the
other people
who interact with him, but mine is to help him learn to do anything he
wants to do...
I believe absolutely and completely that he can, so judgements to the
contrary
and ridiculous and would never as far as I can see help me accomplish my
outcome.

So James, what will be your outcome when you interact with these people
with whom you had less than unencumbered sensual acuity?

Be well,

Loren
