Ever since I read the CiM schema in a book about the Course, I've been observing the world to see if it fits that CiM model. The CiM model above seems awfully severe. Yet, I can see how it applies in many cases. Certainly I can see how I and people around me seem to be constantly shoring up our egos. "Looking in the mirror to reinforce it" is a variation on Peter Sutphen's metaphor. What's your perception, Unc? What are you seeing as shortcomings in the CiM model above? - Patrick Gillam ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
