<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote>Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat.  And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”  And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”  And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking.  They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.  But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”  For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Do not be afraid.  It is kind of like every time an angel appears to someone in the Bible.  They always seem to begin their chats with "do not be afraid."  Why is that?  Not because they did not appear fearful, but because these particular beings that saw them had no cause to fear....</p>
<p>Peter got it.  He stood in the presence of the King of Glory, and his first thought was his own sinfulness.  He was terrified.  He wanted God out of his presence.  </p>
<p>I think, too often man is elevated, and the glory of our great and sovereign Jesus Christ is diminished.  What must it be like, will it be like to stand before Him?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://ambermoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/rf44671062.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-309" src="http://ambermoon.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/rf44671062.jpg" alt="" width="283" height="400" /></a>I met with a girlfriend today who was telling me about a book she's recently read "How to spot a dangerous man".  She was relating the messages in the book to me about her own experience and her impending divorce.  I felt so sad for her.  She deserves so much better.  She's a wonderful person.  Why her?</p>
<p>It then dawned on me that I have not come out unscathed by the actions of a sick and dangerous man in my own life.  Only the man was my own father rather than someone of my choice.  Thankfully, I must have learned something along the line because I have never chosen anyone who is even remotely like him.</p>
<p>One forgets all of the little abuses that one endures through their lives.  They try and push them down, push them aside so that they don't have to remember the true horrors of them at the time.  Instead, it is human nature to try and think of and remember the good things, especially about those we love.  For children, it is especially difficult when it comes to thinking negatively about one's parents.  After all, you are part of them and if they are bad, doesn't that make you bad too?</p>
<p>My niece recently told me horrible stories about the man her mother is involved with.  She has seen him be drunk and verbally and physically abuse her mother.  She watches as he abuses their home, their life, and them.  It is really not the example I want set for her.  It was the example I had set for me, and I have suffered my entire life from it.  She has become hardened to his behavior.  Hardened to hearing the shouting, and the arguments.  Hardened to seeing her mother cry.  </p>
<p>My niece does not want to rock the boat, because she loves her mother and seeks her approval in all of this.  She doesn't want to lose her mother.  She is afraid of what will happen.  She is afraid to take the risk.  I remember feeling exactly the same way.  I didn't tell anyone because I thought if I did then I would be taken away from the person I loved and wanted approval so desperately from (the person abusing me).  It made me feel grown up keeping their secrets.  It made me grow up way too fast.</p>
<p>I hope seeing all of this makes my niece do what I did.  Make positive choices for her own life and learn from the mistakes she has witnessed in other people's lives.  Maybe she will be so sick of living under that kind of stress and unhappiness that she will be wise and not choose that for her own life down the road.  I hope so.</p>
<p>A couple of weeks ago, she and I had a talk.  I told her a little bit about my own life and how similar it is to the one she leads now.  She was surprised.  To her, I am the Auntie that has it all together.  I explained to her that I went through all of that to get to where I am now.</p>
<p>My brothers have both dealt with their abuse differently from me.  My older brother is very hmm.... not connected to it.  He sees himself outside it for the most part.  He realizes the mental games and abuse but it doesn't seem to be a part of his real thinking nor does he relate it to himself.  He mostly relates it all to my younger brother and myself.  Its like none of it really happened to him.  Although, I must say that he has real issues with women and the way they look.  I believe that this comes from training he received as a child.  I also think it stems from his low self-esteem from the abuse and neglect in his formative years.  </p>
<p>My younger brother is full of anger and rage that he's never really been able to express or deal with.  He received no counseling ever for any of the abuse that was done to him in his life.  He was given no tools to deal with any of it.  He's learned to make good choices for himself in the broad term (career, stability, etc.,) despite his teachings, but the anger inside him is a demon needing to be tamed.  He doesn't realize how badly it affects his life.  How he in turn is abusive, aggressive, and confrontational to others.  Add alcohol and you have a real mess.  Those old tapes from our childhood play in his head.  He has no clue as to how to deal with them.  His road has been very hard, but amazingly he's made it this far.  Maybe time will heal his broken soul a bit.</p>
<p>This whole situation with my girlfriend today made me stop and think about my own life.  What her daughter who is now almost 12 is going through.  What I went through back then, and what my niece goes through now.  My heart is sickened by it.  I feel impotent in this situation.  I cannot help either one of them really.  No one could help me.  I can only be there in the best way that I know how.  Be open to them.  I wish I could waive a magic wand and make it all go away.  But alas, everything happens exactly as it should, no matter how things may seem to appear.  At least that is what I keep telling myself.........</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a question for you.  It's an important one. <em>What would you do if you weren't afraid?</em></p>
<p>Whenever my children ask me what they should do, I always respond the same way. "Do what scares you the most."  They rarely like that reply, but they always know I'm right.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Because when you stretch beyond your comfort zone, miracles occur.  They really do.  Dreams come true. Your confidence soars.  All sorts of amazing things happen when you tackle what terrifies you.  It's the one act that separates high earners from underearners, a life of joy from one of quiet desperation.  But don't just take my word for it.</p>
<p>Here's a beautiful email from a woman who attended my workshop last December:</p>
<p>"Your BIGGEST gift to me was your admonition to stretch - to commit myself to being uncomfortable for the sake of financial growth and, to a certain extent, self-respect. In my case, that willingness to be uncomfortable took the form of keeping up marketing relationships even when there was a clear possibility – even likelihood – of disappointment, and asking for more money for what I do. <em>I set a goal of $100,000 in billings for this year and am happy to tell you I had exceeded that goal by the end of May. What is more, being uncomfortable is no longer very uncomfortable!</em> (Italics are mine!)  Disappointments and even outright refusals/rejections now feel like part of the landscape instead of the monumental cliffs I had imagined them to be before."</p>
<p>I get emails like this all the time.  I'm sure that's what gives me the courage to stretch as often as I do.  And that's why I'm sharing the email with you…to inspire you and challenge you to go where you fear.</p>
<p>Two things I have come to see for sure:</p>
<p>1) The closer you get to what you fear,  you'll find it's never as scary as you expected.</p>
<p>2) There's a direct correlation between the level of fear you feel and the amount of pleasure, power, and freedom awaiting you on the other side.</p>
<p>So, I ask you again: <em>What would you do if you weren't afraid?</em> Care to share???</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-43" src="http://jkilgour.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/carphone_warehouse.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" />They wait for their prey, like eagles circling the skies. When a likely customer enters the store, they surround them, talking about their latest deals. Yes. It's the phone shop.</p>
<p>Never would a grown man be afraid of a salesman, until he enters a phone shop. Driven by commission, these people will do anything for a sale, and, as you can see when you pass by, hardly anyone is ever there, and always sales people are free, waiting for a victim.</p>
<p>I went into my local branch of Carphone Warehouse the other day to see about contract mobile deals. I was enticed by their colourful advertising and promise of best prices and neutrality. One hour later, I left. With nothing but a saw ear.</p>
<p>It's the same story nationwide, across the hundreds of phone shops in the country. What is it about them? What leads to the desperation of sales assistants, that isn't sen in other shops? It really is a mystery.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Before I begin, this is not an entry about the Nickelodeon show &#8220;Are You Afraid of the Dark]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before I begin, this is not an entry about the Nickelodeon show "Are You Afraid of the Dark"... although that show was kick ass. ::moment of nostalgia::</p>
<p>What this entry is about is fear. I remember growing up how I was fearless. I would jump out of tree houses or ride bikes down extremely steep hills. Even with bruised, aching knees and elbows I would wipe the blood from my legs and away from my face from my busted lip and smile, trotting back to the top.</p>
<p>As I got older, I remember fear being excitement. I would watch scary movies and shift uncomfortably in my seat as the bubbling of anticipation. This queasiness like sea water swishing about my insides. It was always so real and vibrant I could taste the salt water in my mouth. I would sit up straight on the edge of the couch grinning as the water would rock back and forth. I loved it.</p>
<p>Then when I became a teenager, the fear evolved to an anticipation of not knowing, while knowing in the back of my mind. I remember the first time Michigan and I slept in the same bed, I could feel as he licked his lips right next to my earlobe in the darkness. The water became waves, like a whirl pool with expectant and uneasy tides. And although the fear was evident, unsure and not sure and wanting but denying, I was never once afraid.</p>
<p>Lately the water has evaporated and established a murky substance that resembles quicksand. I can feel myself drowning, being pulled deep into a pit of darkness. It's smothering and suffocating. The murk gets into my hair and dries out my skin. It makes me self conscious that people can sense it, see it, smell it, taste it all over me. The worst thing about this fear is I have no idea where it is located.</p>
<p>It's crippling and invading and completely impossible to translate. It's more then fear, because for once I am actually afraid. Afraid the unlovable but fuckable girl from my past is not only unloveable but unfuckable. Afraid that my constant emphasis on the fact that I <strong>never</strong> want to be married and have children will <strong>never</strong> mask the pain behind the true reasoning that I don't think I ever will. Afraid that I shouldn't have said no the first three times someone proposed to me, because  those men loved me more then anyone ever has. Or afraid that I should just marry the hometown hick because I don't deserve better. Afraid that I am my mothers daughter, and will end up alone and miserable and manipulative.</p>
<p>I'm afraid of my dreams slipping away. Of this desire to write and read will be lost to an excuse of "well if it was meant to be it will be" and I'll just get lost in the bottom of the ladder I'm too afraid to climb. Afraid to try to get out of this state, of this town because I don't know whats beyond this wall I've built.</p>
<p>I'm afraid the pain will never go away because much like losing my stepfather, losing C feels like a part of me died inside and it's not a pain that goes away. It gets tolerable with time but what happens if it doesn't? I'm afraid I will never move past him. I'm afraid I will never be able to connect with another man again, physically or emotionally, because he will always be inside of me.</p>
<p>And I'm afraid that doesn't matter to him. Because he's gone, he's off living his life and moving on to the love of his life, whoever and wherever she may be. I'm afraid it will never get better then this? And I'm afraid that it will, because then what does that mean will happen?</p>
<p>Fear sucks. I wanna be a kid again.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://angiepaxton.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/img_f1312912aa1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-100" src="http://angiepaxton.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/img_f1312912aa1.jpg" alt="" width="86" height="111" /></a><strong>Matt10:28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna).</strong></p>
<p><strong>God does not want us to fear people. Others do have influence over us if we let them. Others can make you feel things and do things that God does not want for you. It is important that we see things the way God wants us to see. Do not Fear men!</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>John 8:20 Jesus said these things in the treasury while He was teaching in the temple [[</strong><span><strong>c</strong></span><strong>]court]; but no one ventured to arrest Him, because His hour had not yet come.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>He said His hour had not yet come, so no one had power over Him, save only that which is given by the Father. NO ONE has power to do anything to us, unless God allows them to. Do not give others power over you because of FEAR. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Heb. 13:6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The Lord is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm [I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me? </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>I will not fear what man can do to me!!!! </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>PS. 56:4 By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me?</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2 Tim. 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>God has not given us a spirit of fear. It is the enemy that uses fear to control people. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rom. 8:15 For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Fear brings bondage. God wants us to be free. He does not want us to be in bondage to nothing or no one. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rev. 21:8 But as for the cowards and the ignoble and the contemptible and the cravenly lacking in courage and the cowardly submissive, (THE FEARFUL &#38; UNBELIEVING) and as for the unbelieving and faithless, and as for the depraved and defiled with abominations, and as for murderers and the lewd and adulterous and the practicers of magic arts and the idolaters (those who give supreme devotion to anyone or anything other than God) and all liars (those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed)--[all of these shall have] their part in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>WOW, The fearful are listed with the murderers, sorcerers, etc... will have their part in the Lake of fire which burneth with fire... &#38; liars (in word &#38; deed)</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Fear breeds unbelief. Why do we fear man??? When fear comes we cowardly submit to whoever &#38; what ever has brought the fear, therefore giving it power over us. But great is He that is in us that he that is in the world. We must submit to Jesus &#38; what He did for us. (...he that the Son set free is free indeed) </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Is. 8:12-13 Do not call conspiracy [or hard, or holy] all that this people will call conspiracy [or hard, or holy]; neither be in fear of what they fear, nor [make others afraid and] in dread.</strong></p>
<p><strong>    13 The Lord of hosts--regard Him as holy and honor His holy name by regarding Him as your only hope of safety], and let Him be your fear and let Him be your dread [lest you offend Him by your fear of man and distrust of Him].</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do not cause others to fear. Do not spread fear. Honor God and Him only. Fear Him and Him only. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Phil. 1:28 And do not [for a moment] be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Do not let others intimidate you. They only want destruction and they want you to be side tracked from what God has for you. If you have fear He will deliver you!!!</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Ps. 27:1,2,3,5,13,14 - THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. Though a host encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, [even then] in this will I be confident. For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock. What, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living! Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>We do not have hope without God!!!</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Ps. 118:6 The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Deut. 31:8 It is the Lord Who goes before you; He will [march] with you; He will not fail you or let you go or forsake you; [let there be no cowardice or flinching, but] fear not, neither become broken [in spirit--depressed, dismayed, and unnerved with alarm]. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Is. 8:11-15 The people were in fear of an invasion. Their enemies were very close. Isaiah told them to fear God only. Fear is an enemy of faith. Fear takes away your peace. It can rob you of your trust in God. God is our shelter &#38; hiding place. Ask God to not let you fear people &#38; fear Him only! Fear not. DO NOT FEAR. The Lord will fight for you. Just as He did for the children of Israel. He brought them out of Egypt to the Red Sea &#38; had them camp there, fully knowing that the Egyptians were coming. When the Israelites “saw” the Egyptians they became exceedingly frightened, they did right at first, they cried out to the Lord. But then fear took over &#38; they became forgetful of all the miracles &#38; all that the Lord had brought them through. Long story short the Lor went between the Israelites &#38; the Egyptians. Ex. 14:20 (so that one came not near the other all night) vs. 14 “The Lord will fight for you, &#38; you shall hold your peace &#38; remain at REST.”</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong> vs 13 Moses told the people:</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>1) Fear not</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>2) Stand still (firm, confident, me undismayed)</strong></p>
<p><strong>3) see the salvation of the Lord</strong></p>
<p><strong>Which He will work for you TODAY!</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the watch. DO NOT fear people. If we let fear of people stop us we will not receive what God has for us. </strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rev. 3:11 I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one may rob you and deprive you of your crown.</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Rom. 8:35-39 Who shall ever separate us from Christ's love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?</strong><br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>    36 Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.</strong></p>
<p><strong>    37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.</strong></p>
<p><strong>    38 For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,</strong></p>
<p><strong>    39 Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.</strong></p>
<p><strong>We must not let anyone take rob us of our crown. No one can separate us from God. We must stand firm. We must not fear what man can do to us. Hold fast to your convictions and to your faith. Man is nothing compared to our God. Do not let anyone manipulate you into believing them or fearing them. You are a child of God. He will fight your battle and you will have battles. Be of good courage!! We are overcomers!! Look to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. DO NOT FEAR MAN!!!! BE NOT AFRAID!! What can man do??? NOTHING!!!! We have might God. Serve Him and Him only. Fear Him and Him only. Do not let anyone have any power over you!!!!!!!!!!! Fear has torment! God is love and perfect love cast out fear. Serve God and Him only! Fear God and Him only!</strong><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I work for my mom and dad who has their own business. (If you didn't know) And like most businesses these days, part of their house has been converted into an office. Sounds like fun and games but unfortunately there is no screwing around. Work is work. So anyway. I did my usual morning routine. Come in, make tea and settle in to read some blogs. So we're all in the office, everyone is doing their own thing and suddenly we hear and feel this enormous BOOM! I saw the computers shake, the desks, I felt the house shake. I had to suppress the urge to yell; "The enemy is upon us!"...instead I yelled; "What the fuck was that?!" and several other curses could be heard around the office. My dad calmly said; "That was an explosion" (he's an ex policeman) and got up to go and investigate.</p>
<p>It felt like it went off on our roof. I couldn't stop my legs from shaking.</p>
<p>Apparently an old man that lives in a complex across the street had a gas heater. It was leaking and he saw that it had caught fire so he dragged it outside and almost instantly it exploded. Luckily he got inside the house and got behind a curtain just in time. The curtain had blocked all the shattering glass but unfortunately it had melted, leaving him covered in sticky material. For the most part he was fine with a few minor burns, thank God.</p>
<p>My dad had by then called the police and went to the man to see if he was okay. He kept repeating; "I'm fucking lucky" (which he was) and; "My cat ran away. I can't find my cat" then he turned to my dad and said; "I'm getting myself a whisky". My dad reports that he was shaken up (obviously) but taking it well and he was just glad that his wife wasn't home as well. Apparently all the houses immediately surrounding the old mans house has suffered considerable damage. Most of the windows have been blown out, and his neighbours roof also has a lot of damage to it. I just hope they'll all be understanding, because you never know what kind of people you get as neigbours.</p>
<p>I hope his cat comes back though.</p>
<p>It's just so scary,in that split second when you have no idea what's happening, and you don't know if anyone is hurt. And the worst part is that people just don't care. Also across the street just a little bit up the road from where this happened there are people working on some of the pipes. There are people walking up and down the road. We have neighbours for petes sake and no one came out. After something like that you'd expect people to come out and have a look at what happened, maybe even see if they can help. But it was as if life just went on as it is in this street. The workers just went on as if nothing happened. And they must have felt it! I mean, it literally shook the foundations of this house.</p>
<p>And I'm also just very thankful that I didn't crap myself. That would have been embarrasing.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Dream interpretation is considered in a similar way to the interpretation of literature and it usual]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Dream interpretation is considered in a similar way to the interpretation of literature and it usually is like that, even though the interpretation that comes from subjective judgments is not accurate.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Only the scientific method of dream interpretation exactly translates the dream messages independently of the judgment of the translator. This is what an accurate translation means: <span> </span>when you manage to exactly reproduce and convey the original message of the writer.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">If you are a translator, you are not a writer. Writing is something else, because it is the result of creativity and knowledge, while a professional translation is the accurate translation of the meaning given by the author of each translated sentence.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Having been a writer since I was 7 years old, with a great literary talent, I know very well the difference between creativity and accurate translation.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I became a scientist after continuing the dangerous research abandoned by Carl Jung into unknown regions of the psyche, and related the scientific knowledge I acquired to the philosophical and poetical wisdom reflected in my literature. It was completely influenced by the unconscious mind that produces our dreams and gives us many talents, besides being responsible for our religiosity. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The accurate translation of my dreams and of the symbolism which existed in my own literature revealed to me that I would become schizophrenic because I was too insensitive and I needed urgent psychotherapy.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I had to accept the tragic truth that I discovered in my psyche and fight against schizophrenia, while obeying the directions I was receiving from the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind produces our dreams and gave me my literary talent and the magical inspiration that would tell me what I should write, so that my words would be full of wisdom, even though I was very ignorant and I could only understand what I had written while guided by my magical inspiration after reading my words over many times. This wisdom was not mine, I knew that, but I could not understand from where it was coming to me.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">My magical inspiration was a big mystery for me, the author. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">When I later became a scientist studying with sobriety the psychic sphere and the meaning of our dreams, I learned to be very objective, without distorting the truth with my own opinion.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">This is why I could exactly define what an accurate dream translation means and continue the dangerous research that a psychiatrist abandoned because he was afraid of craziness: I completely trusted the wisdom of the unconscious mind and I did it only because I verified its wisdom in practice, in my own life. I was cured through my own literature, after suffering a tragic car accident, because the words I wrote in my book where not mine: they came from the wise unconscious mind.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Translating the symbolic meaning of the romance I wrote during 6 and a half years, after the tragic car accident I suffered when I was 15 years old, I discovered a psychiatrist and psychologist in the unconscious mind.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">A subjective dream translator will interpret your dreams asking you many questions and telling you many stories, giving you information about where and when the symbols that appeared in your dream where noticed in the story of humanity, making logical connections among all the parts of your dream and giving you his or her opinion about what he sees, based not only on the vision he has as well as based on the knowledge he acquired concerning dream interpretation. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">This subjective interpretation may seem very logical to your eyes and you will agree that the translator really translated your dream, if you follow his thoughts. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">However, you have no way to verify if this translation was really accurate or if the translator simply gave you his subjective opinion about what he could understand of your dream.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">This interpretation may help you or may not, because you don’t really understand anything.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">For example, you see in your dream that you forgot to lock the door of your house and that when you tried to turn on the light, the light was very weak, and it was very difficult for you to find the key and keyhole in order to lock the door as you had intended. Then you hear a cat outside the house, that you know that wants to enter, but you cannot open the door and let it in, because you locked the door and you cannot find the key. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The subjective dream interpreter will ask you many questions about your organization in life, ask you if you keep forgetting or losing your keys, give you information about what the Asian and what the European philosophers said concerning keys and doors and their symbolic meaning, and will also talk about the symbolic meaning of light, darkness and cats throughout human history. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The automatic dream interpretations of many dream sites are even worse: the information you have is vaguer than the subjective one and totally disconnected. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">In the end you don’t learn anything and nothing helps you.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">However, if you learn how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams according to the scientific method, you will learn many things that will help you improve your behavior, increase your intelligence and acquire more knowledge, and in this way be able to find peace and happiness in life. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The accurate translation of the previously mentioned dream according to the scientific method, is the following:</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">“You forgot to lock the door of your house and when you tried to turn on the light, the light was very weak”.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">You are not protecting yourself from attacks, and you ignore too much about yourself, impeding yourself from being protected. You must learn how to control your behavior, in order to protect yourself from other people’s evil attacks.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">“It was very difficult for you to find the key and keyhole in order to put the key there and lock the door as you intended”. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">You are too ignorant and you have to learn many things before you will be able to control your behavior. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">“Then you hear a cat outside the house, that you know wants to enter, but you cannot open the door and let it in, because you locked the door and you cannot find the key”. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">You are able to control your behaviour with difficulty on some occasions, but you are not smart. You have to smarten up, stop being naïve and indifferent to the consequences of your actions and stop being indifferent about what you create with your behavior. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">After the accurate interpretation, you are going to verify that if you pay attention to the warnings and the guidance you receive in your dreams, you are going to overcome your emotional problems and successfully solve all the other problems in your life.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">There really is a very big difference between the two types of dream interpretation! This is why you must learn the unique and correct one without delay. </span></span></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[currently, i am thinking about applying to art school. minneapolis college of art and design to be m]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">currently, i am thinking about applying to art school. minneapolis college of art and design to be more specific. the only problem is i am scared. i do not want to be rejected, i do not want to be alone in a city that is bigger than any other city i have ever lived in. i think those are my two biggest fears.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">rejected :: i have been looking at art all around and i do not feel like i am a very good artist in comparison. i do not think i can get in, but i still have a small hope. i see things that alumni have done and things that other artists have done and i can not help but think to myself 'that is so much better than i could do.' i feel safe, but unchallenged at wartburg. maybe i need a challenge.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">alone :: i am not good at making new friends. perhaps this could change with the change in location, but i feel almost like i will be thrown into groups of people who already have a tight knit circle. perhaps i can join these circles, but i just do not know. maybe the real artistic community will be more open armed and loving to a new person in the scene. i guess i will find out.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">so, i do not really know anything about applying, because it has only been this week that i have been thinking about it. i would not be able to get in until spring semester, and at that point, i wonder if it would be better to just wait and start in the fall ... be a crazy hybrid freshman-senior. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:#99cc00;">that, along with some other life choices, is what is going on my mind as of late. i really should be working on the video for camp right now ... filming ranch and editing shots. oh well, looks like it might be another all-nighter. maybe this time i will not talk about how late i was up and just get things finished.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are human beings and we are not perfect. As a matter of fact, recent shocking discoveries have been about human nature through dream interpretation. Thanks to dangerous research that has investigated unknown regions of the human psychic sphere, we know that human beings are very violent animals that cannot control their behavior.</p>
<p>You have to forgive yourself first of all, because you were dominated by the wild part of your conscience, which is very violent and cruel. You could not control your behavior—your thoughts were not really yours. It was not your fault. You are only an animal and you have no idea of how your mind works.  You have no idea how much the anti-conscience (your primitive, wild conscience that didn’t pass through the process of consciousness and is totally absurd) influences your behavior and your decisions.  You are too ignorant.</p>
<p>After forgiving yourself for your very serious mistakes, you will need to think about how you can correct them. Of course, most serious mistakes cannot be corrected. We wish we could go back in time and simply correct what happened, but often there is no possible correction.</p>
<p>However, you have to think that life goes on, that everything continues, and that you have to continue too, which can give miraculous solutions to what seemingly cannot be solved.</p>
<p>Think. What could you do for the person or the people that you hurt? How could you compensate them for all the damage you caused?</p>
<p>First of all, if there is money involved in the case, you have to pay for the damages without resistance and without delay.</p>
<p>If the problem is even worse because it cannot be solved with money, give money anyway.  Even though it means nothing, it’s a sign that you recognize your fault.  Give money, especially if you have a lot.  Throw money on the table, saying that you know very well that you cannot pay for all the damages you caused even with all the money in the world, but that you are giving it because you know the people you hurt have many needs.  You want to do something to somehow compensate them for what cannot be forgiven.</p>
<p>If money would be considered an insult because your mistake was very serious, give a present to your enemies. Do something practical and give them something substantial, always with the same spirit of regret.</p>
<p>Recognize your faults. Admit you were an irrational animal and that you cannot understand how you could be so irresponsible. Blame yourself for everything, without defending yourself at any point.</p>
<p>When you apologize, you are not going to mention that your wild side or other people influenced you.  You are not going to blame someone else for what happened. You are going to assume that you are the worse sinner on this planet, without excuses.</p>
<p>This way your enemies will abandon their weapons, because they won’t have to attack you and tell you how wrong you were—you are telling them that, before they can start complaining.</p>
<p>You must exaggerate. If you did only one thing wrong, start blaming yourself for other problems that happened because of your actions. Look for ways to blame yourself for all the horrors of this world, showing to your enemies that you are really devastated because you made this terrible mistake—so devastated that you feel like the worse murderer in human history.</p>
<p>You must be sincere. If you simply pretend you’re sorry, your enemies will notice it.</p>
<p>There is a special facial expression a human being takes when he or she is really sorry. You cannot be an actor.</p>
<p>So, when you talk about how horrible you feel, even if you cannot feel bad at that moment, think about how horrible the situation is and how bad it will be if you fail again and ask for forgiveness. Think about sad things that will make you feel very sad when you show your regret.</p>
<p>If your enemies won’t forgive you, they will be the monsters.</p>
<p>You will become a big hero who had the courage to recognize your mistakes and assume responsibility for them.</p>
<p>And your enemies will forgive you, even if they don’t do so immediately.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My friend <a href="http://markbakerint.com">Mark Baker</a> shared this story:</p>
<p>A man lay on his bed at the end of his life waiting to die.<br />
His dream came to pay his last respects<br />
and bid farewell to the man who had never used it.</p>
<p>As it entered the room the man looked down in shame.<br />
"Why did you not realise me ?" the dream asked.<br />
"Because I was afraid," the man said.<br />
"Afraid of what," said the dream.<br />
"I was afraid I would fail."</p>
<p>"But haven't you failed by not attempting to use me?".<br />
"Yes I did, but I always thought there would be tomorrow."<br />
"You Fool!" said the dream" Did it never occur to you<br />
that there was only ever today? the moment that you are in right now?</p>
<p>Do you think that now that death is here<br />
that you can put it off until tomorrow?".<br />
"No". said the man, a tear gently rolling down his cheek.<br />
The dream was softer now, because it knew that there were two types of pain,<br />
the pain of discipline and the pain of regret,<br />
and while discipline weighs ounces, regret weighs pounds.</p>
<p>Then the dream leant forward to gently wipe away the tear and said,<br />
" You need only have taken the first step<br />
and I would have taken one to meet you,<br />
for the only thing that ever separated us<br />
was the belief in your mind that you couldn't have me".</p>
<p>Then they said goodbye and they both died.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Dream interpretation is like the Internet: you can open many windows that lead you to another level ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dream interpretation is like the Internet: you can open many windows that lead you to another level of knowledge as you research the content of your psyche and your reality, in addition to learning to understand how people around you think, feel and sense.</p>
<p>You only have to write down your dreams. Write them down and wait. When you have around 5 dreams in your notebook or PC file, you will start to understand how to interpret them because you can relate the messages you received. This will be the beginning. Continue writing your dreams every day, and after many dreams, you’ll see the complete picture of what is happening in your psyche and around you.</p>
<p>Of course, it is essential to have a glossary with the dream symbols, which have been elucidated according to the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by the psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung. I am a writer and have improved this method and can provide you a relevant glossary in my ebook, while Jung was too ignorant to do so. I continued his research and discovered that craziness is actually caused by the anti-conscience, which is untamed and very violent.</p>
<p>Only someone who is not a psychologist or psychiatrist could discover the existence of this wild conscience (anti-conscience) because all scientists follow the same basis for their research. However, their foundation is wrong. The same thing happened when the human beings believed that Earth was flat, whereas it turned out to be actually spherical. They looked for solutions based on the wrong impression about the Earth and therefore, none of their conclusions were correct.</p>
<p>All psychiatrists and psychologists believe that our conscience is right and we have to do what it tells us, even if we accept advice from someone else. Most people in our world think exactly the same.</p>
<p>However, my discoveries obtained by interpreting dreams revealed that the human conscience is absurd, ignorant and idiotic whereas the unconscious that produces our dreams is wise and saintly. Jung had concluded that the human being should listen to the advice of the unconscious mind but always do what one’s own conscience decides.</p>
<p>He thought that the wise unconscious that produces dreams to cure us from depression and craziness would also cause craziness. This is because Jung could not find another explanation, and he was afraid to continue investigating this finding. He accepted ignorance and stopped his research at a certain point. He was guided by the unconscious as well because he was not ready to learn the entire truth.</p>
<p>My research was not based only on the previous notions of the scientific world but also on the facts that I observed as a poetess. In addition, I could observe the works of many scientists that were consistent with each other, and all these resources revealed the same reality. Therefore, I abandoned the rule of my own conscience and followed only the directions I received in my dreams and symbols of daily life (that can be interpreted like dreams) that were sent by the wise and saintly unconscious mind.</p>
<p>No scientist would ever agree to do so; however, I did this because I clearly saw how crazy the human conscience was and I understood that far more craziness could originate only from the conscience and not from the unconscious as Jung mistakenly believed. Only the conscience shows us several signs of craziness and not the perfect unconscious mind that works like a doctor.</p>
<p>This is why I discovered that the human being is basically a monster and that one has to tame this violent nature and learn how to live peacefully, respect others and help them, so that one is happy and everyone in this world is happy too.</p>
<p>The other factor that the scientists ignore is that happiness is impossible on Earth because of the terror and violence that exist here. Terror destroys everything. This is why schizophrenia and psychosis and all the terrible mental illnesses that torture our population exist. Everything starts in our own psyche, which worsens in the crazy world we live in.</p>
<p>Everything in our world pushes us towards the labyrinth of craziness, helping the anti-conscience destroy our conscience completely. It is completely impossible to cure schizophrenia, psychosis or any mental illness in a world governed by terrorism, violence, immorality, corruption, greed, hypocrisy and futility.</p>
<p>If everything in our world is absurd, how can our population be balanced, calm and happy?</p>
<p>On the other hand, if the human being is a monster that has to be tamed and taught wisdom, how could one create a world that would be different than one’s own nature? One could only create a hell characterized by poverty, prostitution, wars, cruelty and indifference to human pain.</p>
<p>The solution for humanity and especially for each individual is dream interpretation, which is synonymous with craziness prevention. Everyone must prevent craziness as soon as possible, since it already exists in our psyche and even characterizes our conscience. With the invasion of the anti-conscience into the conscience, one becomes crazier, until one gets lost in the labyrinth of craziness.</p>
<p>We see dreams every time we sleep because the wise unconscious tries to save us when we sleep from the inherent craziness, so that the anti-conscience cannot invade our minds. The unconscious sends us mysterious messages that we have to learn how to decipher because if they could be easily understood by our conscience, the anti-conscience would understand them as well and distort them. We would then have no protection against craziness.</p>
<p>Depression is a warning that craziness is coming or that it has already arrived. You have to do something to change your life and behavior; otherwise, your depression can become a neurosis, which can easily worsen in a very short period of time if you do not treat yourself.</p>
<p>You need not go anywhere or pay any doctor. The wise unconscious is your doctor, the best that you could ever find. You only have to write down your dreams daily and relate them and study their meaning after translating dream symbols into words. You also have to follow its guidance to completely develop your conscience, forever eliminating the anti-conscience.</p>

<title><![CDATA[How to Overcome Depression, Panic Attacks and Self-Abuse ]]></title>

<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately depression, panic attacks, self-abuse and suicide are connected and form a chain. The ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately depression, panic attacks, self-abuse and suicide are connected and form a chain. The person starts feeling depressed and experiencing panic, with various disturbances like dizziness, trembling and total weakness, then they begin injuring their own body, until they end up committing suicide.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why they may feel this way, especially if they don’t have emotional support from their parents.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the world where we all live is totally crazy, cruel and indifferent to human pain. Here, only those who have money, have power and are respected by others because they are afraid of them; and justice is only poetry, that doesn’t exist in reality.</p>
<p>Here, everyone is selfish and cares only for his or her own happiness… Here, nobody cares for anything that is not immediately connected to their personal lives. Nobody accepts sacrifice, nobody forgives anyone and nobody helps others when too much effort is needed. Here, nobody helps anyone first of all, unless it is for the good of their image, business and family.</p>
<p>Here, goodness is a fairy tale and happiness, an impossible dream to come true.</p>
<p>Why? Because the human being is cruel.</p>
<p>This is why we live in a world governed by terrorism, violence and immorality and we observe so much despair, craziness, misery, crimes and horror everywhere, while the hypocrisy of those who are not affected by the worst consequences of the human absurdity, insist on being indifferent to human pain and to the destruction of our societies, civilization and planet.</p>
<p>Everyone has various psychological problems only because everyone inherits a wild conscience; very violent, that won’t be tamed by the conscious mind that has human characteristics and can understand human problems and forgive them.</p>
<p>Having such an absurd conscience and living in such an absurd world, the human being can only suffer very much, lost in profound despair.</p>
<p>Now, if we examine the life of everyone in this crazy world, what are we going to see? We are going to find parents that don’t care for their kids because they have personal problems and their marriage was a very big mistake they made when they were too young; or that several nervous reactions of the human psyche cannot be controlled by the human conscience unless the person passes through a process of indispensable psychotherapy.</p>
<p>We are going to realise that most people live running, without any money to spend on what they want or even to pay for their bills, which transforms their survival into a heroic battle.</p>
<p>We are going to see also that those who have the money, don’t have inner peace and do have various other problems that arise from the existence of abundance without any wisdom or sensitivity.</p>
<p>Sensitivity is the base of psychical health, not reasoning, as most people believe. Sensitivity, piety, compassion and comprehension are the signs of psychical health and balance, not aggression and indifference. We might observe these traits in the human being who can think and work and do many fantastic things, have technological power and  constant progress in many fields, but is totally absurd, because he is cruel and this is why nothing really helps him to live better and be happy.</p>
<p>This is why the human being created this absurd world, where he basically suffers, besides being eluded by various ephemeral pleasures.</p>
<p>In order to overcome depression, panic attacks, self-abuse and suicidal tendencies, one has to be a hero. If you enter into such a chain of events that predetermines your behavior and the unavoidable consequences of your mistakes, you have to be resistant and fight against the anti-conscience. This is the wild side of your conscience that causes panic attacks and the self-abusive tendency; which is in fact a suicidal tendency - not as well camouflaged as usual, because when you injure your body your absurdity is visible.</p>
<p>You may be the victim of other people’s absurdity, but you are being absurd too.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, craziness and despair can only generate terror and panic.</p>
<p>How can you escape from this chain and regain your life, build your personality and save the world with your heroic example of salvation?</p>
<p>You need psychotherapy. The wise unconscious mind that produces your dreams is the best doctor you could ever find and is going to help you fight against the absurd tendencies imposed by the anti-conscience. This way you might win the battle in the end, and live free from depression and despair, in order to save humanity with your work and your generosity, because there are many people here that need support and relief, as much as you need it while you are still weak.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While crossing the river of my thoughts</p>
<p>the young man stopped amidst</p>
<p>he looked here and there</p>
<p>neither me nor my heart he could see</p>
<p>he searched for me in waters so deep</p>
<p>he hunted for my soul hidden in the wavy leaps</p>
<p>i hid from him afraid he might know</p>
<p>that i am someone who does not really show</p>
<p>i guard my dreams, my thoughts and emotions</p>
<p>as if they'll be stolen, a very unusual notion</p>
<p>but the young man never gave up</p>
<p>he continued to sail in the storm of my fierceness</p>
<p>he went to ends sailing in the ocean of my happiness n stress</p>
<p>each moment, every minute , i became afraid</p>
<p>afraid, he might find me, find me from my land</p>
<p>but his hope and passion were always at its peak</p>
<p>and seeing this , i realised only meand me , he seeks</p>
<p>i gace in and showed myself</p>
<p>seeing me he leapt in joy and spoke to the universe itself</p>
<p>i softened at the intensity of his gaze</p>
<p>which seemed to me like an illusive embrace</p>
<p>he held my hand and said to me,</p>
<p>"i love you, i care for you but don't know what you think of me</p>
<p>i searched for you, i slogged for you</p>
<p>And i found you , i found you"</p>
<p>i slowly lowered my eyesand stared at the bare ground</p>
<p>my mind and heart racing round and round</p>
<p>a long agonising silence we shared</p>
<p>felt as if hundreds of years had passed since i had cared</p>
<p>for someone so pure and true</p>
<p>for someone who stood by me through and through</p>
<p>words failed me each time i tried to say</p>
<p>words failed him each time he tried to pray</p>
<p>and when i looked again into his eyes</p>
<p>we both saw the core of our soul's ties</p>
<p>it was a moment of eternity</p>
<p>it was a moment of divinity</p>
<p>thet moment lasted for many million moments</p>
<p>and when we both raised our hands.................</p>
<p>i think, the scene is left unfinished for you to torment!!!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Why are people afraid of themselves? Are they really afraid of letting others find out what they are]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why are people afraid of themselves? Are they really afraid of letting others find out what they are truly like or are they the ones that find disappointment in themselves? Does society force us to be afraid?</p>
<p>The truth is I think people are afraid of life. They are afraid of making mistakes and taking responsibility for them. Pretty much anything in this world will kill you if you have too much of it. Too much fear is no exception. We've all heard the expression "died of fright".</p>
<p>I have a lot of medical problems that probably means that I should not be doing some of the things I want to do. But the truth is, I am gonna do them anyway. Because I intend to limit the number of regrets of things I should have done or shouldn't have done. Follow the straight path and if there isn't a straight path, then just pick the one that is straight ahead.</p>
<p>At the most people are afraid of death. I laugh at death. Not because it is funny but because I don't know eactly what it is. Therefore I am not sure its something to fear. There is no piont in being afraid of somthing that is inevitable. If I was stranded in the middle of raging river. I expect there to be a water fall ahead somewhere. In the middle of a raging river it is better in my mind to except that you probably gonna die than to keep struggling. When the waterfall comes, faces it head on and laugh. Would rather have your last moments sound like "Oh shit, I am gonna die" and panic or would rather be laughing and thinking of someone special. That is not the call of the wild. It does not mean you are a beast. It means that you are one with the universe and it excepts you , and in return you do the same. Peace is eternal.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">I am glad, because my readers are learning how to interpret their dreams and are feeling better with the knowledge they are acquiring. They are telling me this through their constant communication in email messages. This is the amazing thing about the Internet! Authors and readers are not far away from one another; we can have direct and immediate contact! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">The scientific method of dream interpretation is really a magical solution that nobody could imagine possible. It is not merely a translation of dream symbols: it is pure psychotherapy, and the most effective existing craziness prevention.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Everyone needs it, precisely because there is too much absurdity accumulated in the wild part of the human conscience. The anti-conscience, our primitive conscience, is schizophrenic. It means that we are <em>a priori</em> crazy when we are born. The small part of our conscience that has human characteristics is too weak, compared to the huge, wild part of our conscience, which is very powerful and totally absurd. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">This is why we need the guidance of the wise unconscious mind in our dreams and in symbols of our daily reality. Alone we will never win the battle against the strong anti-conscience.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[How do you know what to decide in life? Which way is the best? Where are the hidden dangers? How can]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">How do you know what to decide in life? Which way is the best? Where are the hidden dangers? How can you escape from them and succeed?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">You are too ignorant and life is very difficult. You need to develop your human conscience completely and become more intelligent, developing all your capacities. You may have many talents that are totally immersed in the wild side of your conscience, without use. You could be feeling wonderful now, if only you could use your hidden talents!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Everything is wasted if it belongs to the primitive side of your mind, that didn't pass through consciousness. You probably have heard that the human being uses only a small fraction of his brain. This is true unfortunately, and this is why he only suffers in life, making many silly mistakes and later facing their consequences.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">If you want to have the confidence of always making good decisions you must develop your conscience without delay. This can be easily achieved through dream interpretation. You don't have to go anywhere in search of relief or pay anything to the wise unconscious mind that sends you informative and protective dreams. You only have to pay attention to your dreams and take notes, comparing one to another.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">This occupation will be your best hobby. It will be like solving puzzles. When you have a complete image of what is happening to you, you will understand why you are depressed and what you have to do in order to find peace and happiness.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Translating the meaning of your dreams with the unique method that exactly translates their messages, you will develop completely the human side of your conscience, eliminating the wild side. This way, all your talents will appear on the surface, and will be active parts of your personality. You will be intelligent and self-confident, able to analyze reality and predict the future: a person that can only succeed, even when things are not the way you would like them to be.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;color:black;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">You will transform what is bad and problematic into something useful and good, people that don't like you into your best friends, and even the entire world into a place where everyone will have the chance to be happy like you, thanks to your superior vision of life and your wise attitude.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And I hate it.</p>
<p>There's one thing I did not anticipate about growing older.  It's being afraid.  Two or three years ago I was fearless.  Really, I feared nothing.  I would make fun of cowards.  I would call people who are afraid sissies.</p>
<p>Now I am a sissy.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>This morning I have an appointment with the VA Doctor.  In all probability I'll learn nothing.  In all probability this ailment that has plagued me for the past year will simply be my burden to bear.  In all probability I'll live another decade or two, at least.  In all probability.</p>
<p>It's also highly likely that my emotional state is the result of changed brought on by codeine in my system.  This shoulder pain is, at times, incredibly difficult to live with.  Even as I type I can feel the twinge with each flick of the fingers on my left hand.  Sometimes it goes away--if I am very still.  Always it comes back, worse with my intensity of effort.  So, sometimes, I take the pain pills.  Damned if I don't, damned if I do.</p>
<p>Last fall the pain itself was so horrible that I was sure I was dying.  Then my VA PA proscribed the codeine.  I got past the pain but at what cost?  A totally screwed up head.  I got pretty freaky.  So after the first of this year I went to "only when I'm dying" mode.  But still, the crap in my system persists at a level that has me an emotional wreck.</p>
<p>I blew off my last appointment at the VA in June.  Why go, the guy just won't listen.  "Muscle problem, maybe," was the best I could get out of him.  He had no clue.  Or if he did (if he listened at all, which I doubt) he was not saying.  The day after my appointment I sent a letter requesting a real MD rather than a Pretty Awful Physician's Assistant (PA squared).  So, today, I go see that new doc.  And, like I said, I'm afraid.</p>
<p>I don't trust the VA.  Twenty-five years ago I had a pretty good doc in Corpus at the clinic there.  Never, before or since, have I had any confidence in anyone else at the VA though.  The Houston VA butchered my left hand in an attempt to fix carpal tunnel.  Now I have limited range of motion in my fingers.  The San Antonio VA was worse.</p>
<p>I wound up in the hospital there from bleeding ulcers.  I spent a day in a ward where the only way I could get attention of the nurses station was to walk out into the hall dragging two IV's.  Then I was tortured.  Literally.  They took me down to scope my stomach to try and find the bleeding.  Three kids (seemed like it) were doing the test.  They were flippant and I was reluctant but they demanded I sign the release or they'd send me home "and not do anything else to help."  I signed.  They then proceeded to hold me down and cram the scope down my throat without any anesthetic or drugs or anything.  If I could have gotten off the gurney afterwards I would have broken their necks.</p>
<p>A year or two earlier, before I got the good VA doc, I had another doc in the Corpus clinic scope my other end and, I believe, caused permanent damage.  My sittin' down place has never quite been the same.  I don't even remember why he gave me the scope.</p>
<p>I don't trust the VA.</p>
<p>But it's not the VA I'm afraid of.  It's not even dying I'm afraid of.  It's very depressing to think about dying before my kids grow up but I have faith in the other side, that God is there (as he is here) and there's nothing to fear about that Undiscovered Country.  What I fear is NOT KNOWING.  THAT drives me nuts.</p>
<p>It always has driven me crazy but up until this episode I have always been able to figure something out.  This ailment, though, is beyond my ability to figure out.  There are a dozen "possible" causes but not one that stands out.  If I KNEW my chances, what is coming, whether or not this thing is going to kill me next year or is simply going to be a nuisance for the rest of my life or, maybe, it will go away someday, I don't think I'd be so freaked.  As it is, not knowing is just no darn fun.</p>
<p>And I don't trust the VA.  Did I say that?  I'll push past the knots in my gut and go to the doc today though I feel more like running out into the woods and hiding under a tree.  The doc will renew my BP meds and, I believe, do little else.  There's a good chance he'll want to run tests I won't go for.  No MRI for me, not in one of those old round ones, I am totally claustrophobic and now, in my current wackiness mode, just looking at one of those things would freak me out.  Scope?  Um, I doubt it.  So see, I'm sort'of screwed.</p>
<p>The VA's answer has always been drugs, drugs, drugs.  I take a hand full every morning, BP and cholesterol.  I have three or four they've given and I didn't take, a pain pill that was worse than codeine, an anti-depressant (from the shrink) that promised so many terrible side-effects I never took one.  Maybe I need one today!</p>
<p>So, anyway, that's the morning I'm having.  I have a pot on the stove for hot water, maybe some hot tea and a bowl of grits for breakfast will settle my jitters.  Maybe.</p>
<p>I doubt it.</p>
<p>Sigh.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>"u hv too much self-confidence" the teachers frowned<br />
"watch out, one day u will be brought a few pegs down!"</p>
<p>bunny didn't care, her arms were strong<br />
she had so much love to give how could this be wrong?</p>
<p>"will u be my buddy, come play and dance by the sea?"<br />
but little cricket shook his head, "u've too much confidence for me!"</p>
<p>so bunny danced all alone, singing her own little tunes<br />
painting her shimmering rainbows all colours and hues</p>
<p>but... nobody knew the loneliness little bunny carried<br />
like a tiny golden ingot deeply buried</p>
<p>"arrogant"... "dreamy"... "impatient"... and on and on<br />
until poor bunny became tired, sad and worn</p>
<p>till one day bunny met gazelle, leaping in the mirrors of her dreams<br />
bunny opened her heart but he ran away, frightened by her silent screams</p>
<p>silly little bunny, cowardly little gazelle, cyclic futility<br />
"ur problem u see, is just insecurity"...</p>
<p>bunny is sorry but was it really all her fault?<br />
all she feels is a hole inside where gazelle once was</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Dreams are very serious images that have a meaning. Their messages are very important. They have the character of a salvation for the ignorant and absurd human being, who suffers very much without knowing what to do in order to live happily.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">First of all, one must eliminate all the distorted tendencies that characterize one’s behaviour and develop the one-sided human conscience. This is why one sees many dreams reflecting psychic disease. For instance, one may dream that one has no blood under the flesh because he or she is totally insensitive. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Our dreams reflect our psychic condition but also convey real information about the outside world, the future and other people’s personality.<span>  </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">By interpreting a dream, you can be informed about a conspiracy against you, be cured from a serious psychological disease or a physical disease that you believed had no cure, or learn how the future will unfold and how you can transform it to your advantage.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">In your own dreams, you can discover the solution for problems of your daily life and for scientific, social and financial problems that have no solution.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">A unique dream can frequently be so significant that it will be decisive for your life because it will give it the proper direction. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">You can clearly understand other people’s personality and in particular, learn many things that you ignore about the person you love.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">If you dream about you being near the fireplace, it means that you have protection. However, if you dream that you are near the sea, you are near craziness, which is your worst enemy.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;margin:0;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Dreams will help you everyday if you learn how to interpret them because this way you understand how to overcome all diseases, solve all problems and live happily, without fear.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Examining the keywords through which visitors found my websites, I saw that a few people wanted to learn more about the wild side of our conscience, which I discovered after continuing the research of Carl Jung into the unknown region of the psyche and fighting against schizophrenia, with the guidance of the unconscious mind that produces our dreams.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;">This discovery was in fact given to me. The real story starts with the existence of the saintly unconscious mind and the evil wild conscience and the necessity to transform the wild conscience into a saintly conscience, so that it will be able to live happily. The creation of our planet with one unexplainable variety of animals and plants </span></span><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">that could not be the product of chance, happened in order to give to the wild conscience the necessary environment for its transformation.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The wild conscience acquired an animal body. Part of it was transformed into a human conscience, thanks to all the efforts of the saintly unconscious mind, which is in fact directed by God, the wisest existing conscience. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The wild and the human conscience started to live together inside the human being, while having the guidance of the unconscious mind, that lives inside everyone, helping the human side of the conscience eliminate the evil wild side. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The unconscious mind has been trying to transform the wild conscience into a human conscience for many centuries without success, because evil is stronger than sanctity, since destruction is easier than construction. The wild conscience has the power to destroy everything and it impedes human salvation. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">The entire history of mankind is in fact the development of several different processes of transformation, created by the unconscious mind with the intention to eliminate the evilness of the wild anti-conscience and transform it into a positive part of the human conscience.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I discovered this astonishing truth not because I had the indispensable knowledge to do so, but because it was given to me by the unconscious mind in my literature and in my dreams, so that I could “discover it” and relate it to several scientific discoveries of my time.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">I was not a genius, but I became one after completely developing the human side of my conscience and eliminating the wild side. If you want to become a genius like me and control the wild side of your conscience, you have to follow my example and fight against it with determination. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Pay attention to the guidance of the unconscious mind in your dreams, and you will understand what your mistakes are and what you have to do in order to correct them and find happiness.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;">Alone you will never be able to control the anti-conscience, unless you decide to become saintly and dedicate your life to helping the others. </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-size:large;font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></span></p>
