It's quite disturbing when the memories start coming back. They were up to some weird stuff with us. It's no surprise so many found GLP. Holy crap, I'm already getting freaked out by page one! Ah yes, Shool, I have heard of this place. Empty Men offer Empty Words and Empty Hearts. |

User ID: 80378090 United States 07/21/2021 01:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Books that were encouraged were: A Wrinkle in Time, The Elephant Man (That was my personal favorite to withhold), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and any of the books from the Choose Your Own Adventure Series. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 863003Do you remember reading any of the books in my quote above? Yes, also reading books by Lois Duncan. This thread is really odd. With that first puzzle of geometric shapes, when I clicked the link and saw the image I remembered doing that test, could smell the wax on floors, feel my school uniform, see the classroom and desk. I had completed that puzzle very quickly and the teacher made me redo while she was watching. Lois Duncan, yes - "Stranger With My Face" And I've always been able to astral project, or at least lucid dream. alter my brain waves, etc... Speaking of books, there was a set of yellow books with glossy covers, advanced reading at my age, which I think was eight or nine. They were short stories and always freaked me out because they were strange, disturbing, violent...in particular I remember the one where people were attacked and torn to shreds by lions.

Thanks, I will. I seem to remember something back in the 80s/90's about "Indigo Children", maybe that is related. I was donating my waitress tips to MUFON and CUFOS at age 17, got my degree in physics then dove into a demanding career (more administrative than scientific). I really lost touch with myself during this time while focusing on a mundane, soul crushing path the last 20 years. I have more time now to get back in touch! Unjabbed and Off Grid |

Quoting: Jane Grey 862970 Were you shown a series of high speed images on a television, not once, but many times? Was the school psychologist selectively interested in you? I was involved in this during the 1st Grade on the East Coast, 1978-79. It was myself and 3 other students. Other than the high speed info dumps delivered via CCTV, we practiced "memory" exercises, and what I now know is remote viewing. During this time, I experienced a NDE with a rare form of menengitis, an OBE, and an abduction where I was exposed to one of the high speed info dumps via CCTV outside of the school environment. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 73472368 United States 07/21/2021 02:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If you are hoping for a "punchline" or easy answer to that question, you won't find it. My assessment after years of looking into this is that it was most likely a wildly irresponsible teaching experiment driven by the "Human Potential" movement and eugenics. Whether there was a more nefarious motive, I honestly can't say with the evidence on-hand. The things many of us remember point to some disturbing possibilities, but for most, those memories are not accessible beyond the very surface. Again, it's all ancient history at this point anyway. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 12306812 United States 07/21/2021 02:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I was in it in the 80's and 90's in California. They called it GATE. Gifted And Talented Education. Tons of special testing. I completely forgot about the fast flickering light test until you brought it up. I used to get bussed to another school once per week for the whole day. All the GATE kids in the district would meet once per week at the same school for special classes and tests. There was only maybe 20 of us or so out of 7 or 8 schools. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 862747 I was in GATE as well. I wrote a book, won a book faire entrance, and won the overall prize for my book about 'Ginger' at the age of 8. It was about an guinea-pig that escaped and became a giant. However, once I entered the class, it was really creepy. In addition, I was busy enjoying myself reading Lord of the Rings, which was quite a challenge at that time. They took me to get my IQ tested by a group, and even though I had a broken arm, and couldn't do the timed block tests, my IQ for that age was rated at 186.5. That was equivalent to adult IQ of 105 or so at the age of 8. My last IQ test was 130+ some 10 years ago. IQ's above that are very difficult to determine. I'm an Engineer BTW. |
