He he... It's so hard to say that with cracking a smirk. I think it's no accident that with names like Woodcock and Johnson, you'd end up in a psychology career (no offense to ~B).
Anyway, what I'm about to write about is hard to do without sounding egotistical, so I'll do my best (which is probably totally awesome because I'm so awesome).
I just want to say that Aaron Eisenberger is a friggin' genius! I only say that because he is. I first met the bra at the Nov. 2005 ILP. He was quiet and intriguing... I didn't really know what to think of him, but I could sense some sort of cool energy radiating from his being. I think anybody who meets him would probably feel the same way. Anyway, I was lucky enough to get to talk to him at a little party at the KW Boulder house. It was there that I told him a dream I had recently had. It was a vivid dream, and I will share it with you here:
Somehow, I had been chosen to be Ken Wilber's personal helper. [In the dream] Ken was in need of some help with walking, and I was to be his support. Since I admire Ken very much, this was a huge honor for me. I was taking him to the grocery store and everywhere he needed to go. At one point, I was returning the shopping cart, and I left Ken at the car. I noticed he started walking away from the car and I had to scramble over to support him so he wouldn't fall over.
Later, we were at his house, and I was helping him up the stairs. I must have not been being very careful because he lost his balance and fell down the stairs, smacking the back of his head against the hard surface of the floor. I hurried down the stairs and looked at the back of his head which had a half-dollar sized circle of blood on it. I wondered if his brain had been damaged. That is when I woke up.
So, I told Aaron this story along with my interpretation, which is that probably I want to help Ken Wilber by supporting his theory, but that I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might actually end up damaging it.
Then, Aaron did some wizard moves on me and came to the conclusion that I should be a writer. WTF? And now today, I have the results of my Woodcock-Johnson Psychoeducational Battery, which was administered by a psychologist because I wanted to see if my brain tumor has left me with any defecits. And on this WJ assessment, the very last "Cluster Area" listed is "Written Expression." My score is 152, which places me in the 99.9th percentile. Aaron is a genius.
There, that didn't sound too egotistical, did it? Whatever... my ego rocks!
*And don't forget to check out Dick Johnson!

See…. you have PROOF!!! 99.9th!! You are THAT D^MN BRILLIANT!! heh-hem. Great analysis on the dream, too! Have you taken a look at the dream I posted on DreamShare? Wonder what you think/see….
“You are THAT D^MN BRILLIANT!!”
Well, only in written expression. You'll notice I didn't include any of the other cluster areas in my blog post :)
hahaha. love this. see how fun it was? you do rock when you're not going out of body and demon-possessing poor old sweet Colin ;)
“You'll notice I didn't include any of the other cluster areas in my blog post :)”
yeah, yeah…. your ego was just doing it's job!!! ;)
That's right!
btw, you promised me a hyperlink to Dick Johnson. but you didn't. i'm not gonna believe you no more.
That is cool, your dream about being an assistant to KW. There must be some kind of psych connection between you and KW. I sometimes have dreams about this Buddhist venerable that I know and she usually comes up with I am very dilligent on my practice. Perhaps you are dilligent about KW so he shows up in your dream? Humm…I believe because KW is so well known, he must be difficult establish some kind of personal relationship with him so you connect one with him through dream.
Thanks for sharing the dream. I really had a great laugh when I read the part where KW fell down the stairs..not meaning it was a funny thing to laugh at people falling but I guess it was funny because KW for me have such strengths physically and mentally fall down a flight of stair was such a farce. Not meaning to offend any KW fans out there :)
@ ~C4Chaos: What are you talking about?! It's there!
@ Yuri: It was strange because it happened the night after I met him… the same day he gave me a hug. I also had a dream about Amma the same day she gave me a hug.
i'm just trying to be redundant and increase the google ranking of Dick Johnson.
btw, i sometimes dream of KW too. in my dreams he's my assistant. but unlike him i'm not that stupid to fall down on stairs. KW also gives me foot rubs, back rubs, and other body rubs using Nut Oil. and oh, he teaches me integral mathematics once he's done opening a can of red bull and serving it on my feet. so there.
but even with all those dreamy perks, i still prefer I-WET dreams. go figure.
so you've started writing yet?
@~C: you mean those dreams about Ken giving you body rubs aren't I-WET dreams?
@franc: Sort of…(?)
Matthew said: “@~C: you mean those dreams about Ken giving you body rubs aren't I-WET dreams?”
no Matthew. unlike you i get my I-WET dreams from SCARLETT JOHANSSON and NATALIE PORTMAN, and not from some buffed bald geeky male philosopher.
i say stop projecting your BROKEBACK mentality on me! hah!
Riiiiiiight… because that's what I'm doing… {sarcasm}
whatever. i still think you want sleep with me in waking, dreaming, and even in deep sleep. lol!
Not really… and I certainly don't want you dreaming about me rubbing nut oil on you! So please keep your fantasies to your own blog.
Hey YOU - my computer is finally up and running —- another dream, huh?
You just keep dreamin away sonny. You gonna transform yosef right into next tuesday one 'o dese days… hee…hee … great interp too! Aren't you havin the time of your life?! You and C4 going camping this summer? Miss you. Love you. Hi Ayako - I wouldn't let Matt go camping w/out you until he's a little older and less impressionable ;(wink)
