First Gong Vol. 8: Thrust FIRST GONG 8 THRUST | Page 256

RAISED - Andrew White
Raising the lid
Blasting the glass ceiling
Given a hand up
Not a handout
Giving a leg up
without legovers
Not used as a leftover
Or raised as an afterthought
No quota system in place
Or reverse discrimination practiced with a veneer of civility and fairness.
Neither algebra nor calculus, raising people and integers to the power of
infinity.
Not given to mental flight but engaged in mental fight to raise the bar of
human attainment.
Referencing frankl who in the cesspit raised himself to an elevation of
meditation and imagination by the power and quality of his thinking.
Logo therapy came out of that.
A branch of knowledge raised literally from the pits.
Raising the limit of human attainment.
The one minute mile
Climbing mount Everest
and raising political questions like was Hilary first or was it the Sherpa
Tensing Norgay?
Bolting below 9.5 but for showboating and the exuberance of youth.
A picture that still haunts me.
Raising hell
Raising salaries from minimum to medium
