<<how long will it take me to deschool ?>>

Hi Dawn,

I remember you from the other list (that is currently discussing why bed
times are a good thing and why unschooling doesn't work for everyone
<sigh>).

I believe we will be deschooling for the rest of our lives. Basically, we
were brainwashed into seeing something normal and beautiful as something
artificial and coercive. I'm constantly catching myself thinking inside the
box, taking a close look, and realizing that particular box doesn't really
exist....I had just been programmed to think it does.

It has been several years of radical unschooling and it is like I am
continually peeling an onion of false rules, false logic. It is
exhilarating and sometimes terrifying and sometimes very sad. What would
life be like if we were all free to simply be? To be Buddha mind? To be
what God created us to be? To be our natural essence? It blows me away to
think about.
