tip o hat 2 Andy Rooney

I am reading The Tipping Point because this swing in polarization has to react with unification. My experience with collective subconscious trend surfing has been validating and exhilarating. It is obvious time for the industrial military complex to be declared bankrupt - if you saw Andy Rooney let President Eisenhower tell it like it is. There is a rule of 150 that I call the saturation spectrum that is as far as we can see until. . . A new trend will hit mainstream all at once from 150 trend-setters. Outcasts make the kind social observations that care spiritually. Every savior was a risk-taker. Innovators feel for social issues while mainstream tendencies take things personally.

guilty by insanity?

I ran into my high school art teacher selling his jewelry. He now heads the art department at a premier college for designers and was surprised I has not found Eric Hoffer by now. I waited months for True Believer to become available. Last night I read the first chapter.

Most revolutions are the indulgence of the rich and powerful using poverty and disillusionment to create chaos. The way this administration has used sloganizing 9/11 is only the tip of the iceberg. Enough has changed that whoever they want to blame and shame does not distract for their responsibility for creating specific realities that have lessoned qualities of life internationally.

If (growing numbers of) people see a need for a revolution, isn't it a projection of what is happening? Most Republican Party standards have been turned to contradict messages of only a decade ago. Internal realities have been mirrored to answer external (conceptual) threat-building that they should pay (be responsible) for and stop. Just by losing trust their behavior becomes improper by responsible positioning.

I remember when bankruptcy was criminal. The example that governmental powers are abusing credit/debt concepts have encouraged unhealthy indulgence by a growing majority. Could they be legally confronted as debt (drug) dealers? Isn't one of the instrumental paradoxes in how corporations get more credit from banks by extending debt? They seem to be denying liberal spending risks with conservative defensive posturing. The conflict is internal stress provoking. That can be said about national trends.

The right to be a responsible society demands active restoration of majority rulers.
Wouldn't a person with only 23% self-approval be forced into therapy?

borderline defensive

We all define our personalities within certain parameters. This brings to mind a concept of therapy for something called "borderline personality disorder." When people behave in ways they would not tolerate from others they have crossed a standard of self-acceptance and to the degree they can deny creating a problem is how unbalanced they are willing to make themselves. How this can effect (the performance of) other people makes it a responsibility of society to be informed (performance art).

Denial is the main symptom so the those who need the most help (learning about it) are the least likely to admit the tendency (that) is prevalent in everyone. You can't tell people you are concerned with their feelings if they don't want to understand yours can care innocently (when theirs don't.) Self actualization starts with maintaining contentment with behavior deviation. Denial of the potential that healthy attitude can treat depression is an interesting symptom of limiting hopefulness.

The hope I found in the book "Stop Walking on Eggshells" comes from the intelligence needed to maintain this emotional codependency called borderline personality disorder. This affliction is harbinger of an information age paradigm. "Emotional Intelligence" implies the experimenting that harnesses a new power source from appreciating paradox. Conflict in your mind is like needing opposing muscle groups to get up off your ass.

cognitive restaging

When Tom Cruise was interviewed last week the only segment I saw was the question about being clear to level eight in Scientology terms. Right out of college in 1974 (between jobs) I tested very clear at a San Francisco headquarters. The official from Toronto interviewed me with other managers and I ended up with a job in their print shop. All I did was file articles but the access to higher concepts (on paper) was enlightening.

The "truth" meter Scientology uses for therapy sessions helps direct your attention past being short-sighted. When we put "charges" on certain subjects, we direct conversation away from issues that need to be worked through. The "operator" of a clearing session should lead a subject up the charges until problem solving reaches a new climax. Many agree to the idea that we repeat the same mistakes until a new perspective is understood.

My fourteen year old daughter took the toilet paper out of my bathroom. When I looked in the cabinet next to her toilet I found she had been short-sighted enough to miss six rolls. I know the conditions that limit my focus and will ask my kids to help those times. Two eyes (points of view) create depth and perspective.

The best partners extend our education. Because marriage should be our best experience in partnership consider the vow "for better or for worse". This cognitive restructuring tool will free thinking from the limited judgment of "Good versus Bad" standards.

The chapter on judgment in "Kitchen Table Wisdom", by Rachel Remen, stresses the relation between approval and criticism. The depth of personal approval issues can be decoded by how we criticize our world. How we use opinions show the reliance on support systems. Some don't even know they aren't self-supportive.

The punitive system of justice has become obviously too time consuming and costly. Blame and shame are an example of how people burden themselves with punishing feelings. Those that think it is effective wish it on other people.

There is a growing awareness of restorative mediation. When we face situations where we know we can't be happy the neutral ground becomes contentment. Understanding is a climax of emotions meeting thinking in a spirit of unity (inclusion/integrity).

Being clear is a process of healthy functioning. Healthy attitudes allow different paths to lead to similar enjoyment. Living together with harmonies that sometimes seem dissonant is part of modern music making (uni-verse-all) evolution.
