Ready to Type.

I am ready to type. I want to type about life as an autist. I am about to undertake a huge task - the changing of a mind. Motivations can be a tricky thing. Unless they are pure, influence is a false assumption tied to motive not truth. If they are pure, influence is a matter of showing a greater truth. Influence becomes tied to the credibility of the speaker or the obviousness of the truth. Where truth is hidden among untruths or just hidden from view, reason gets applied. But what reason? Five sense reason or multi-sensory reason? I am reading The Seat of the Soul and the author starts with the mirage of survival of the fittest. Five sense reasoning says survival of the fittest is the most advanced of species, but we know this is not true. It is the altruistic act that sets the most advanced apart. How do you explain this? The soul speaks it to you. This is my task, to help another to understand the workings of the soul. It answers all questions unknown. I pray for the grace to say it right. It is important so others will have continued opportunity. It is about them. No more, no less. I am an enigma of two worlds, capable and incapable. This is the purpose God fashioned me for. Pray for me that I may do him service well.

Facilitation: A Cost Too High to Pay?

I agree with this blog. FC is dangerous. So are knives, and guns, and words wielded irresponsibly. It is in knowing the danger that we avoid it. It should never be wielded as a sword, rather as a tool for advancement of skill. I type independent at times if really important. FC was the path to independent typing for me. To put myself on display asks alot. But, I would work to do it under the adverse anxiety of it if it would serve others. This is my question. One voice, is it enough? Will it take two? Or will each be disregarded as the oddity rather than the rule?

People will believe the worst of people. It is the real lesson here. Mankind is capable of such grace and such evil. I am not a pioneer by nature. Is that cowardice? I am about to do the unthinkable for me in committing to put myself independent on tape. I wish Dr. Todd knew the cost of that
