Kim Peek, real life "Rain Man" has passed

[Lavazza]

The real life rain man who was the inspiration for the film with Dustin Hoffman died at age 58 a few days ago. If you haven't read about him before I would encourage you to do so, or check out some of the video documentaries made about him, he was an amazing individual. Sort of got me thinking about what the purpose of his incarnation was all about. He was unable to do things that are simple for ordinary people, such as dressing himself or putting meaning with concepts and thinking abstractly. Of course in seeming compensation for this he had the ability to speed read and memorize stacks of books each day, and recite the information perfectly, among other things. Perhaps Kim's life was all about providing the rest of us with a sense of wonder?

From a LOO perspective, did this entity have less of a separation between himself and his higher self that allowed him to function as such?

Due to a synchronicity that I'm still trying to understand, I had just learned about Kim and watched a documentary about him and other savants literally days before his death. Perhaps there is some aspect of Kim that I can use as a mirror for myself, that is as close to meaning as I can ponder at the moment. (I am NOT a genius however!)

It's sad, I did not know the man. Or that the movie was inspired on a real person. But I saw the movie in school and loved it.

No one is a genius and everyone is a genius. We all have something we're good at!

I suspect that autistics have less of a veil.

UNCONSCIOUS POWERS of the Mind --> leak into the Conscious Mind.

they tend to think in images (unfractured reality) rather than words (fractured reality).

language is just a temporary tool for learning in 3d.

There is an autistic in my region that can create electricity from his thoughts. He can also draw a circuit on something like a piece of paper and the circuit produces usable electricity indefinitely.

He doesn't understand why we cannot all do it. When he's asked to explain how he does it, he gets frustrated. It's just obvious to him.

i heard Kim Peek wasn't autistic. but i think he had access to stuff, like all people who channel. artists channel. genii channel. it's all just channeling.
