Re: [RC] It's worse than I thought (was: Parelli, etc.) - Glenda SnodgrassOn Wed, 14 Nov 2007, k s swigart wrote:I made the general statement that good teachers have students who learn from them, not excuses for why their students don't learn from them. You know, over the years I've learned a lot from really bad teachers, and I've seen lots of students learn little or nothing from really good teachers. I would have to say that the Parelli program is like every other educational experience I've had in at least one respect: you get out of it what you put into it. The best teacher in the world cannot teach a student that is unwilling or unable to do what it takes to learn that subject, whether it is a sacrifice of time or successfully dealing with personal baggage -- mental, physical, emotional or other. Trying to "do" Parelli without understanding the underlying philosophy and applying it to yourself, not just your actions but your thoughts and your intentions and the way you approach everything that you do, is like trying to learn a foreign language by memorizing words but not studying grammar or learning to conjugate verbs. It sounds like you're speaking the language when you say the words, but they don't make any sense and you can't carry on a meaningful conversation. Anyone looking for a quick fix won't succeed in the Parelli program ... or most any other program that I know of. I've seen people try Parelli and fail because they just don't "get it" but I've seen just as many people try John Lyons and Clinton Anderson and fail just as miserably for the same reason. And yes, I'm a Parelli L2 grad but I haven't drunk the Kool-Aid. :) Glenda R.
