Help in regards to my future nonprofit organization
« on: February 15, 2010, 10:53:34 AM »
I am confused.

The future director,secretary of my future nonprofit neurodiveristy organization who is a grad student, behavior analyst,and a future consultant to my organization,and agreed to create my website doesn't share my beliefs in Astrology nor anything metaphysical. He sees them as B.S. He looks at me like somebody who is being hurt by astrology even though it's something that I am passionate about. It's something that I feel that I am very good at doing, and people have told me that too including telling me that I should charge.

The whole of Developmental Neurodiversity Association (DNA) is that I want to help indigo,crystal children which are mainly metaphysically oriented types with many that fall under these what I feel are unnecessry labels which are the social model type issues which he even brought up. If the organization helps genetic neurodivergents which are the ones that have pronounced strengths and not just pronounced weaknesses with learning,neurological processes that don't fit mainstream classroom, then that would pretty much cover those indigo,crystal types who are extremely sensitive,divergent in multiple areas.
My belief is that the more sensitive they are, the more "severe" they tend to be. In my case, I got misplaced with the mentally retarded in 1st grade because of my severe dyslexia,dyspraxia. It wasn't until I had developed some language skills because of speech therapy and demonstrated strong visual spatial skills, I was realized to have above average intelligence and that I didn't belong in that special ed classroom, and so I was taken another school to be in a special education classroom for students with learning differences. I greatly benefited from early intervention, and so the special education was a mixed blessing.

I just don't feel right with this guy even though he wants to help ND and is ND himself as he told me that he was diagnosed as having ADHD and medicated with Ritalin in childhood,but he believes that he has Aspergers. He doesn't want to help metaphysically oriented types.
He doesn't believe in any of that stuff.

Frome what I see,neurodivergence and metaphysically oriented types they are strongly connected. The symptoms of neurodivergence and schizophrenia overlap. Half of schizophrenics have history of developmental issues like speech/language delays/problems and motor skills/coordination delays/problems
For all we know, many of the schizophrenics can be metaphysically oriented types, but they are either misunderstood by skeptics or have serious psychic boundary issues or both. I strongly believe that too many neurodivergents are being misdiagnosed as having psychotic disorders which even included me and my biological father as well as so many other people.

He just made me feel uneasy, telling me to prove astrology to him and to convince him.

I didn't want to do that. I don't want to prove astrology nor convince anybody about astrology working. I don't feel the need to. I used to, when I recently got into it, and it was because it was a newfound interest,passion.

I took it personally when they thought Astrology was B.S., then they saw me as being stupid. You know that I don't like being viewed as stupid
I did get told that I was stupid and treated that way because of my belief in Astrology even by some people in the metaphysical field. That included people who were into magick.
Do they even have room to talk. They believe in controlling the forces of nature. Shrinks would think that they are more delusional than I am.

I don't feel that he is the right fit for the ND organization, but I don't feel that it's fair to dismiss him for not sharing my views. That would make me look narrowminded and like I am discriminating. My discussion with him yesterday bothered me the whole last night and even today. I feel lot of conflict in me....the conflict of being a neurodiversity advocate and being an astrologer.

I showed him the link to the Holistic Healing Expo, and he referred to it as being too hippy.
He even made a remark about bombing the expo. He didn't mean it,but just made his strong dislike for metaphysical stuff known. He is a very skeptical type of person,and he even said so. He said that he is open though. I don't know. I don't feel comfortable with a future fellow director and officer of my neurodiversity organization that I am misguided,gullible,and hurt by my metaphysical interests. If I become a professional astrologer, he is going to see me as being fraudulent,delusional,ripping people off, taking advantage of people's gullibility,and misguiding others. I feel that's the reason why I haven't become a professional astrologer even though I have been doing it for over 11 years. I also can't help feeling stress of having to separate my neurodiversity advocacy and metaphysical interests which I intend to do. I am afraid to be looked down by others in the neurodiversity for my metaphysical interests. I don't want my neurodiversity advocacy to be dismissed because of my metaphysical interests.


no birthtime for him is used.

What really stood out was some of the asteroids

My Mercury oppose his Chiron under half a degree which can indicate that I can feel intellectually inadequate with him, and there can be wounding in communications. It could also fit with the special education connection.

On a hunch, I checked the asteroid, Hygeia which is the asteroid named after the Greek Goddess of health, to see if his making stressful connections to my personal planets. It seems to relate to health matters. It's one of the big asteroids too. It was one of the objects that was going to be included as a new planet in the planetary proposal that got rejected.

His Hygeia conjuncts my Saturn,closely squares my Moon (my hunch was right), and opposes my Neptune. So he aspects my t-square. It indicates conflict involving health matters. He activates my emotional conflict of skepticism versus metaphysical with his own skepticism of the metaphysical and viewing me as being misguided and hurt by it. His Hygeia closely conjunct trines my Pallas trine Vesta which indicates a good connection involve service and creative ideas which would fit with him working
for me in the neurodiversity organization.

My Sun-true Black Moon Lilith conjunction in Scorpio and his Pallas in Taurus are in close opposition to each other, and I can't help think that this is also an indicator of his skeptical view about my metaphysical interest which can lead to conflict between us.

My Sun trine his Ceres seems like a caring connection.

My Juno is closely conjunct his Saturn,and that seems like the possibility of a restrictive partnership even though there can be stability and structure.

His Juno-Jupiter conjunct my Ascendant seems like it would be good for an expansive partnership.


as for the regular stuff

His Venus squares my Uranus which seems like an unstable connection for partnership. He can get the impression that I am too crazy. My Venus is almost exactly conjunct his Uranus which also can be an unstable connection for partnership, but it also can be the connection that we have in regards to both of us being different from the norm.

Ours Mars are in closely trine to each other, and so our assertive styles are in harmony. That good be good for working together.

His Mercury opposes my Mars,and that could indicate communication conflict that include debate that can be uneasy. I have experienced that already with him.

I can't overlook his Sun in Virgo oppose my Moon in Pisces and squares my Neptune for a t-square. That alone could indicate the issues of the issues of the critical thinking versus metaphysical.

I am confused.

Hello, Raymond, you sound dissatisfied rather than confused to me.  But both seem to reflect a T Neptune - N Mars conjunction and the  potential for inspiration as well as losing focus.  I agree with you about proving astrology to the world (forgetaboutit!) but it does not seem unreasonable to identify how astrology is useful and/or make it so.  You have used astrology to help you clarify this situation - now what?

Your partner's resume offers practical assets (Earth Sun-Moon) for your vision (Water Sun-Moon) should you decide to accept his limitations.   :)  Have you written the Mission Statement-Goals-Objectives for your nonprofit down on paper?  An exercise, yes, but every org relies on this kind of structure; and it defines the mutually agreed on working relationship required in an org.  You might discover if you can write all this with or without the word 'metaphysical' which appears to be a critical piece of information.  Just an idea.       

Best ahead.

Hello Glaucus,

Normally, I try NOT to argue about Astrology with those who think it is B.S.

There is a reason the word SKEPTIC contains the word SEPTIC.

On the other hand, when skeptics unite to put down astrology and they leave their cornflakes uncovered, I must admit a certain joy in ceremoniously peeing in them.  (Oh, give me my little joys in life, non-judgementally)    ;)

Good luck with your ND organization, Raymond.  If you're working to help people through it, then it can ONLY be a good thing... astrology or not.

Peace

I also don't intend on including anything metaphysical in the organization. I'd rather separate my neurodiversity advocacy from my metaphysical interests. That's been the original plan,and I am sticking to it. My approach is just going to be practical and liberal. It will be advocating for tolerance,acceptance of diversity for neurological differences. It will be about helping raising awareness and understanding about them that involves psychiatry and education a big deal such as differentiating neurodivergence from psychiatric disorders and the intellectually handicapped. I want the organization to be accepted by the mainstream.

the organization will be similar to United Kingdom's Developmental Adult Neuro-Diversity Association DANDA but for all ages because I want to help children and teenagers too.
http://danda.org.uk/


Yes....I have a mission statement and objectives typed out

here is what it's going to be about


Developmental Neurodiversity Association's mission statement
To see that a different type of mind is not being viewed as a deficient mind but has strengths and not just weaknesses.



The Objectives of Developmental Neurodiversity Association DNA are as follows:

1. To help people with Developmental dyspraxia, dyslexia,ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome and related conditions reach their full potential by providing and improving emotional and practical support, particularly for those conditions for which there has been less provision such as dyspraxia.
2. To raise awareness and understanding of these conditions,particularly their assessment, their effects, their treatment and the inter-relationship between the different conditions
3. To establish networks of groups to help people with these conditions get involved in activities for interaction, mutual support, and education, provided that the activities shall be charitable.
4. To push for psychiatric reform that
includes psychiatrists to have their patients do neurological and psychological
testing and not just go by what they observe to differentiate neurodivergence from psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia,bipolar. It would help prevent psychiatric misdiagnoses and unnecessary medicating.
5. To push for education reform that includes multisensory teaching methods as primary teaching in schools to cut down on learning problems in school. It would help decrease unnecessary learning disability diagnoses,the drop-out rate, and misplacement of neurodivergent children in special education classes for the intellectually handicapped.
6. To educate about natural and chemical-free ways to feed and raise neurodivergent children. It would include raising awareness of alternative treatments,remedies that can be used in place of psychiatric medications.

The organization is going to be like DANDA Developmental Adult Neurodiversity in UK, but it's going to be for all ages. Children and teenagers really need the help and not just adults. I made the objectives to pertain to all neurodivergent people. I included 3 other objectives which I am very passionate about. The last objective actually comes from the Doreen Virtue Metatron: Indigo,Crystal children card page in the booklet.
www.danda.org.uk/pages/home.php


These are the objectives from DANDA:

The Objectives of DANDA are as follows:

1. To help adults with Developmental dyspraxia, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome and related conditions reach their full potential by providing and improving emotional and practical support, particularly for those conditions for which there has been less provision such as dyspraxia
2. To raise awareness and understanding of these conditions in adulthood, particularly their assessment, their effects, their treatment and the inter-relationship between the different conditions
3. To establish networks of groups to help adults with these conditions get involved in activities for interaction, mutual support, and education, provided that the activities shall be charitable.



 He didn't try to make me feel bad in any way. He was just giving his alternative viewpoints about things. I even told him that I respect,accept,and tolerate his views. I even said that I would rather agree to disagree, but I find him a bit intellectually overwhelming for me when we discuss things on this matter.

He is just not into "New Age" stuff. I see nothing wrong with that.

but we are both into helping people whose neurological makeup don't fit the norm.


People with different views can work together and reach a compromise like Republicans and Democrats working together in bipartisanship.

I also want to point out that
I value critical thinking just as much as metaphysical thinking. I do have both a skeptical and metaphysical side. I also believe that James Randi has done some good,exposing frauds,and demonstrating how to duplicate things that some people think is paranormal like bending spoons.

I have a Mercury-Venus-Neptune parallel, but it contraparallels Saturn.
I have Saturn oppose Jupiter-Neptune , with the Moon squaring that
I have Pallas-Saturn conjunction,and Neptune is in opposition to it, with Moon squaring it

I also Saturn in one of the primary Gauquelin sectors which was said to be found common in scientists.

Why don't you just explain to him that all things in the universe are energy, no one can argue with that. Energy acts according to certain laws. no one can argue with that. Astrology merely explains the basic archetypes to human behavior, like mythology. Free will has to be a factor, and one is IMPEL ED along a certain line, not COMPELLED. Physical form and experience in life are derived from what you think about yourself and the world around you, along a certain line, potentially explained by astrology. Thought is energy, and e-motion is energy in motion. Every scientist knows that the observer effects that which is observed. Think outside the box, and be ok with the fact that he's not ok with astrology. If it bothers you so much, seek someone else, but realize it's all about you in your life, no one else

Raymond, today it sounds like you're totally ok with the partnership.  That's good because it looks like there's a lot of work to do outlined in your plans.  I admire your outreach to others and wish you success with DNA.  Good luck!

Actually, it's not a partnership

He would be one of my the directors and secretary of the organization. 
I would be one of the directors and president of the organization.


I don't need him. I could use him as just a business consultant and/or to create my website. I don't like the idea of disciminating against him for he and I having different views about metaphysical things.

I just need 2 people to be my fellow directors and officers of my organization.

I feel that I am bound to have people that are interested because I feel that what I am doing is a great cause and is strongly needed.

I am considering asking the mother of a severely autistic adult to be a director and officer. She wants to open up a school for autism because she believes that schools don't know how to teach autistics. She has hair product store in my neighborhood. I have known her and her husband since 2000. They are a black couple,and so their child is black. There are issues with how black autistics are being treated too.


I am also going to attend Holistic Healing Expo here in Sacramento on the 21st of this month. http://www.holisticlivingexpo.com/sacramento2-21-10.php

I intend on distributing cards and flyers at the festival for my neurodiversity meetup group. I am going to talk to them about my plans on forming a nonprofit neurodiversity organization. I could end up meeting my future directors,officers there.


I have considered options.

In regards to  "He looks at me like somebody who is being hurt by astrology"

People have that same view about Scientology too.

Some people believe that people are hurt by Scientology which is widely viewed as a cult.

Scientology is controversial like Astrology is.


Look at Tom Cruise for example

He is a person who was diagnosed as having Dyslexia and even recommended to be on medication for hyperactivity as a child. Dyslexia and ADHD have considerable overlap. His mother was a special education teacher.
I can understand why he is go against children being on medication for not fitting inside the box. They tried to do that to him.


He got criticized by International Dyslexia Association because he claimed that Scientology helped him cure his Dyslexia. http://www.starswelove.com/scriptsphp/news.php?newsid=3267

I read other things by people that he didn't have Dyslexia because his problems went away with scientology and that he was really faking it.


But he might not be so far fetched. I don't like the word, "cure" because I don't believe that Dyslexia is a disease. I believe that it's just a different way of thinking,learning,and being. I just believe that it's just a variation of the human condition that gets seen as disorder in the social construct of things. I believe that the weaknesses of Dyslexia can be corrected from special education therapies just like mine was. Of course, I still have issues that are mild,subtle. The same with my Dyspraxia. As far as my ADHD, I don't even view it as a disorder. It's just be being a novelty seeker, probably having the DRD4 7R gene. Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,ADHD are just disorders from the social construct view of things in my opinion. Homosexuality used to be viewed the same way.

but any ways, I read the following in regards to Scientology:

Courses often require students to use clay to make models of basic and complex educational concepts. Likewise, if a student expresses confusion or a lack of understanding on a certain subject, teachers will often instruct the student to make a "clay demo". This focus on the "clay table" is a trademark of Scientology schools. http://www.exscientologykids.org/schools.html

but the use of clay is also part of the Davis method created by Ron Davis who has Autism and Dyslexia. He has a huge organization. Davis services in more than 40 nations.
http://www.dyslexia.com/library/davismethods.htm

The words that cause the most confusion for dyslexics are common words, such as it or from. Often a student will easily read a longer word in a story, such as crocodile, but hesitate or stumble over a word like the. Because these words lead to disorientation, we call them trigger words.

This is because the dyslexic student thinks with pictures. It is easy to envision a crocodile in one’s mind, but very difficult to imagine an 'of' or a 'this'.

We resolve this problem through a process called Davis Symbol Mastery. After looking up a word in a dictionary and discussing a definition with a helper, the student models an object or set of objects which accurately represents the meaning of the word, as well as the letters of the word in clay. This process goes far beyond the multi-sensory and phonemic awareness strategies that are recommended for dyslexic learners. It engages the creative process and establishes a lasting mental image for a specific word and series of letters. It produces comprehension and long term retention of the spelling and meaning of a word without the need for phonetic decoding or memorization. It stops the word from causing any future disorientations. http://www.dyslexia.com/library/davismethods.htm


Seeing how Scientology education methods and Ron Davis methods are similar, it's not far-fetched that Tom Cruise's Dyslexic weaknesses were corrected by Scientology's education methods like many Dyslexics' weaknesses were corrected from Ron Davis' methods. It makes me wonder who copied from whom. Ron Davis' correction methods are viewed as controversial by International Dyslexia Association. Dr. Harold N. Levinson's cerebellar-vestibular dysfunction theories,methods,treatments are viewed as controversial by the organization too. Look how Astrology is controversial in society. If I was doing astrological research on neurodivergence in Astrology, and I talked about transneptunian objects are prominent in people with neurodivergence including myself, I'd get severely criticized by International Dyslexia Association and other neurodivergence advocacy organizations too. I'd get seen as controversial and crazy like Tom Cruise. BTW. Tom Cruise has Sun square Eris which reflects his controversial nature. I have Sun oppose/conjunct the Eris Nodes (both heliocentric and geocentric)which reflect my own potentially controversial nature. Controversial is relative, depending on the perceptions of how a person is viewed. If voiced my astrological neurodivergence findings at some New Age conference, I am more likely to be respected compared to if I voiced my findings at a learning disability conference.

here is an atheism blog about Tom Cruise about being psychic http://atheism.about.com/b/2003/11/01/tom-cruise-super-psychic.htm

but the guy has grand water trine of Sun in Cancer, Jupiter in Pisces,and Neptune in Cancer which might be a configuration that reflected with his religious nature which included his wanting to be a Franciscan monk in the past and his Scientology views as well as strong transneptunian with that Sun square Eris.

but a lot of atheists don't believe in Astrology nor anything else metaphysical.

They would diss both Astrology and Scientology.

Overall , it seems like a day of interacting, socializing, and getting noticed. I am going to distribute my neurodiversity meetup group cards and fliers at the Holistic Healing Expo. I plan on talking about my plans about the nonprofit neurodiversity organization. Hopefully, I will find new members for the meetup group and even directors for the nonprofit organization.



It's going to be a national neurodiversity organization, and so I am advocating all people with neurological/differences here in USA.  Please spread the word to somebody who is neurodivergent and/or has relatives,friends,partners that are neurodivergent.   

 I will never stop searching for astrological indicators for neurodivergence. I don't focus on "afflictions" in a chart. I don't believe it's a disorder. Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,AD/HD,and Autistic Spectrum have strengths and not just weaknesses. We're not caused by brain damage,toxins,allergies,and heavy metal poisoning.  It runs in familes. Neurodivergence runs strong in my family. I was born to 2 neurodivergent parents.  I even believe that it's my Dyslexia,Dyspraxia,AD/HD that helps me be a very good astrologer as far as thinking outside the box,being intuitive, and visualizing concepts, and overall multisensory thinking. I am sure that there other neurodivergent astrologers that understand that.   I believe that the transneptunian objects are even prominent in neurodivergent people because of the very subtle energies that they are which reflect how neurodivergents are said to be hypersensitive to their environments including especially autistics.  I believe that is especially so for the people that have genetic neurodivergence that fall into the Indigo,Crystal stuff.  I believe that Transneptunians are keys to the 21st Century Astrology, and that Eris is the ruler of 21st Astrology.  I want an Astrology that is up to date with the times.



A Different Mind Is Not A Deficient Mind is what is on my Neurodiversity Meetup Group flyer.


oh another thing

I have Mercury,Venus,Jupiter,and Neptune in 3rd house with Sun 3 degrees away from the 3rd house,and so I have strong emphasis on 3rd house,and so a lot of emphasis on mind,mental activity,and communications.  My Mercury is also oppose/conjunct Heliocentric Mercury Nodes, and so I have a strong connection in regards to collective communications.    So please don't take my long posts the long way.  That's just my style.  I am not into judging people because they are different from I am.   I  am about to each,his/her own.   Special education is a humbling experience,and it taught me to treat others like I want to be treated which includes not looking down on others that are different from me.

I have a passion for Astrology just like I have a passion for Neurodiversity advocacy.  I wish that Astrology was accepted by scientific community like neurodivergence is.  It's easy for tell me that I am Dyslexic,Dyspraxic,ADHD to metaphysicans, but it's not easy to tell psychiatrists that I  have a t-square of Moon in Pisces in 6th square the opposition of Jupiter-Neptune in Sagittarius and retrograde Saturn in Gemini in 9th to psychiatrists.   I keep that to myself.   They don't believe in things that get looped up under the New Age umbrella.  I am out to help people that are Indigo,Crystal personality types. The way to do that is to help them through the practical route, and so I focus on just the neurological/learning differences and help get those accepted and tolerated which result in decrease of misplacement in special education,psychiatric misdiagnoses,and being put on medication that they don't need.

peace


Raymond

Hi Raymond:

I think you presented a lot of astrological factors that convey the dissidence between you and this man who is being considered for this position.  If it is completely up to you, I think you could find someone else who you get along with better.  Why add the extra stress of choosing a person who is a challenge to who you are?  It sounds like you have no problem with his attitude towards astrology; it is his attitude towards you that is questionable.  If you sense that he is looking down on you for being "sucked into" a bogus meta-woowoo world, then maybe go with your gut and keep him out of your field of operation.  That's my opinion.
