...Psychological Events?
Anyone here familiar with researcher Nancy Etcoff's published study of aphasics' unique ability to detect lies? What happened to me thru childhood mother/son incest caused "hypervigilance" according to the shrinks. And I agree there's that aspect. But that was 44 years ago and I still use what I call "touching without feeling" to access,interpret and control my environment.
Am I alone in this? Are there others out there who've lived thru horrific childhood sexual molestation/incest who've learned to not only sense what others cannot but to use the Thing successfully? I'm no shrink but it's my opinion the Thing stems from being a child,not knowing it's impossible to access the World in this mannor. And so,we do. The adults they have their structure,their clarity of purpose,their belief-systems and such. To people like me they are transparent. Our choice was stark reality or insanity. Life or death. Actors,we give them what they want to see. That seems to satiate them. Am I alone?
