<description><![CDATA[CNN&#8217;s Soledad O&#8217;Brien covers a special report call Black in America all this week.  Cove]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CNN's Soledad O'Brien covers a special report call Black in America all this week.  Covering topics about the Black family, woman and man, CNN attempts to cover the problems facing Black Americans today and what people are doing about it.</p>
<p><strong>Racism isn't the primary problem!</strong></p>
<p>I have a very big problem with this special.  With so much emphasis on the color of one's skin, CNN is overlooking the fact that the bulk of the problems are not racial, but spiritual.   Of course, I don't expect CNN to come from that angle, but the report is useless if problems are not examined in the context of what makes people do the things that they do!  Single-parenthood, divorce, incarceration, drug use, women being single and alone are more because of issues in not having a right relationship with God.  Even in the case of the biracial couple and their children where the husband and wife were having issues raising the child because the wife wants to bring "black culture" into the picture - that's also spiritual! Just let your kids be kids and raise them up as the God would want parents to raise their children - under His principles!</p>
<p>I'm even more bothered by the fact that if we are to ever strive towards a nation of racial equality, then why do we keep putting emphasis BACK on the color of our skin?  Racism is a color issue, but this show wasn't so much about racism as it was about problems within the Black family period.  Although at times it seems as if CNN tried hard at times to blame black problems on whites, such as the incarceration of black men and their high percentages and media focus.  If black men would do the things to stay out of jail, then there be very little to talk about! Again, It has very little to do with our color but how we are living our lives!</p>
<p><strong>SEX is the problem!<br />
</strong><br />
Specifically the problem of sexual immorality I feel is the major problem within the American culture PERIOD!  It is a problem rampant nationwide, not just within the black family.  If sexual immorality is addressed alone and if people took steps to wipe out immorality then how many of our problems would be solved?  How many would still be single parents if they weren't having sex resulting in illegitimate babies? How many children would be stuck in poverty because only one parent was taking care of them?  How many of those children would be off the streets if they had dads at home disciplining them? How many would be affected with Aids if not practicing sex outside of marriage? How many marriages would still be intact if no one cheated on their spouses? Lack of sexual responsibility found within the confines of commitment in marriage is the biggest problem facing MOST Americans today!</p>
<p><strong>Insulting!<br />
</strong><br />
AND just how would we feel as Black Americans if a special was done on "White" in America? Why is it even necessary? This idea of addressing of po' little black folks as if we need different solutions than whites is insulting.  Let's address the problems of each person, then go about solving them!</p>
<p>Okay, I may be a little hard on CNN because after all, the reporter Soledad O'Brien can relate to a lot of the issues being discussed being a biracial woman.  Perhaps she's very passionate about gathering information that she feels would help Black Americans.  But it's not helping.  If nothing else, it's pouring salt into the wounds without any bandages to stop the bleeding.</p>
<p><strong>Solution: Know God and Follow after HIM!<br />
</strong><br />
Real problems require real solutions and it must start with the individual - an individual's relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ!</p>
<p>Thank you CNN for giving me something to rant about!</p>

Amnesia or the lack of memory is sad and troublesome. Many times in your life you can get in diffi]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;margin:0;">
<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><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Amnesia or the lack of memory is sad and troublesome. Many times in your life you can get in difficult situations only because you don’t remember an important person’s name or something else that is much more important, such as the name of a medicine.</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 should write everything you can if you have this problem. Be organized and careful.</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">The reason for the existence of amnesia is the existence of very traumatic experiences; in other words, this condition has a protective function. It appears when there is a trauma that the person wishes to forget, but this is not a conscious function. It works without the participation of the human conscience. For example, when someone suffers a disaster or something terrible happens in one’s life, amnesia protects him or her from remembering the horrible scenes or situations that he or she saw or lived. </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">Amnesia can have a psychological reason that cannot be logically justified if we ignore what is happening in the psychic sphere of the affected person. In this case, I recommend psychotherapy through dream interpretation with the unique and correct method of dream translation discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me. I continued Jung’s research in the unknown psyche, where craziness remains, and I discovered the existence of the wild conscience. </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">This wild, violent and evil content often obliges the unconscious that produces the dreams in order to protect us from craziness, to provoke amnesia to the human conscience in order to protect it from the memories projected by the wild side.</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 your problem is not so serious, but you keep forgetting many important details and many things you must remember, here are my directions to help you improve your memory until you become able to remember everything you need and even what is not necessary:</span></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">1. Associations</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">The best way to remember names and difficult words is through associations. For example, if a person’s name is Walter Miller. In order to remember this name you have to think about a word that reminds it… How about “watermelon?” This way, the similar sounding word will help you remember the real name of the person. (If you don’t actually remember the real name of the person but you quickly say the substitute word that you associated with their name when you meet them, they will have the impression that you said their real name…)</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">The same tactic can be used for other things as well: you simply should associate names, substantives, titles, etc., with words easy to remember.</span></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">2. Attention</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">When you hear or read something important, pay attention to it. Say to yourself: “now this person is saying this and I should remember it” or “now I’m reading the most important part of the text, I have to keep it in my memory.”</span></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">3. Repetition</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Repeat several times the words or sentences you have to learn, but not without thinking like a parrot. Think about what you are saying, visualize the things that you are repeating in your mind, and be in contact with what you are trying to memorize.</span></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">4. Make a Summary</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Rewrite the most important parts of what you are trying to learn. Make a summary with the essence and keep it in mind. You don’t have to remember all the details. You can write them in your own words. Only the essence of what you are trying to remember must be memorized.</span></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">5. Exercise</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-indent:36pt;text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Tahoma;letter-spacing:0.5pt;" lang="EN-GB">Try to remember many things, even if you don’t need to. If you keep your mind working, you become more intelligent and your memory will be excellent! </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Philippians 1:27
27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philippians 1:27</p>
<blockquote><p><em>27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Paul's words here are so critical and applicable to sexual bondage; really sin in general.  I can not let other people, other factors, other events influence my conduct in terms of following Christ.  My calling is to obey God and walk in His light no matter what influences may come before me.  I will be tempted and at times tempted from the most unlikely circumstances, but that is all it is.  The temptation is an offer and opportunity for me to go against God.  It is an offer I must refuse.</p>
<p>If I let outside influences dictate my relationship to God then I will surely fall.  My actions must be accountable to God at all times, otherwise my obedience to His standards will falter.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Philippians 2:3</p>
<blockquote><p><em>3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I feel for me much of my sin and especially the sexual misbehavior and immorality was a direct result of selfishness.  I realize that my past had a role in the choices I made, but mostly selfish desire gets in the way of sound judgment.  When I consider others, I can more readily put down those selfish thoughts and wants.  When all my attention is turned inwards the thoughts center around pleasing myself, or attaining an item.  The lack of regard for those around me gives off the impression that I am better than everyone else and that their concerns do not matter.</p>
<p>I am realizing that the greatest gift I can give is to serve others, and there is no way to accomplish that with a selfish mindset.  Once I can put others above myself, and allow my needs to become second to theirs then I can begin to experience the grace and power of Christ.</p>

“Therefore, you must put to death the bodily members which are of the earth:  sexual immorality,]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--StartFragment--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong><em>“Therefore, you must put to death the bodily members which are of the earth:<span>  </span>sexual immorality, unnatural vices, sensual passion, lust, and evil, and also covetousness, which is idolatry—”<span>  </span>(Colossians 3:5)</em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong><em>“I speak humanly because of the limitation of your flesh.<span>  </span>For just as you offered your bodily members as slaves to unnatural vices and to lawlessness—leading to lawless deeds—now, in the same way, offer your bodily members as slaves to righteousness—leading to holiness.”<span>  </span>(Romans 6:19)</em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><strong><em>“<span>For all of the things in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and arrogant living—is not from the Father, but is from the world.”<span>  </span>(1 John 2:16)</span></em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Friends, do not miss the force of this passage.<span>  </span>This “therefore” that Paul begins with is a powerful connection of this verse to the things that he has written earlier in this epistle.<span>  </span>Essentially, Paul is saying, “because Christ is who he is and because he does what he does, because Jesus is the true wisdom that you seek and because he is the revelation of the Father himself, because Christ has redeemed you to be his own and separated you from the things of the world—thus those things that are part of your life, that are part of the world, need to be put to death—executed, killed, destroyed, obliterated, massacred and all with extreme prejudice.”<span>  </span>This is what Paul is conveying when we finally get to this point of the passage.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>The reality of our lives is that we are all in a state of transition.<span>  </span>We have been made holy, in that God has declared us, as believers, as justified in his sight.<span>  </span>We no longer stand before God to be judged on the basis of our own righteousness—something that would earn us nothing but Hell and eternal condemnation—but we stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ and judged upon his merits.<span>  </span>At the same time, we are being made holy—an act of the Holy Spirit upon our lives which progressively works within us to conform us to the image of Christ—to make us ready for glorification.<span>  </span>This process, which we call sanctification, takes time and is worked out from the point of our conversion to the point of our death—preparing us for heaven.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Therefore, as we look to our lives, as we reflect on our persons, we should be at the work of rooting out those things that separate us from God; we should be always seeking to grow in grace so that we may more and more reflect Christ to the world and glorify His name with our lives.<span>  </span>And when we speak of the members of our body being put to death, this is the same kind of figurative language that Jesus uses in Matthew 5:29-30.<span>  </span>Though sin stems from our hearts and from our minds, it is often played out through our members.<span>  </span>Paul and Jesus are both saying that we need to conform our entire beings to the righteousness of God—there is no room for compromise.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Beloved, oftentimes we talk about our response to Jesus in terms of being thankful for what he has done for us.<span>  </span>And, this is a wonderful thing.<span>  </span>Jesus has done infinitely more for us than we could even dream of doing for ourselves.<span>  </span>But, to leave things there is to fall woefully short of the mark.<span>  </span>We also worship and praise Christ simply because he is who he is.<span>  </span>When we begin to see how beautiful, how delightful, how wonderful, how rich, and how satisfying Christ is, then our worship takes on a whole new character.<span>  </span>No longer do we worship with a sense of obligation, but we adore him because there is nothing in the world more pleasant to adore—we cherish him because there is nothing in creation that has a greater value.<span>  </span>Oh, beloved, my prayer for you is that you nurture that sense of adoration for our King based on his character.<span>  </span>Delight in him for who he is and not just for what he has done for you.<span>  </span>How much more satisfying he will become to you, when he is your ultimate delight.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center"><em>How sweet the name of Jesus sounds</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I remembered the case of a dentist who committed suicide when her baby was only 4 months old, and I mentioned this case in my article.</p>
<p>While common psychiatrists and psychologists examine many cases superficially, I examine only a few cases, but very well. I follow each drama, for years, being near each patient like a friend. I am, in fact, like a nun. Religiosity is indispensable when we deal with terror. And of course, a tragic suicide of a young mother means terror and despair for her husband’s and her child’s life…</p>
<p>Terror also for her brother and her nephew’s life, besides her mother’s life and so on… Such an unexpected fact means terror for everyone. Their lives ended with her suicide.</p>
<p>It was unexpected. She was working as a dentist and had normally marked consults with her clients on Monday, but on Saturday she committed suicide, jumping from the terrace of her building, while she seemed to be happy with her husband.</p>
<p>This fact was more than shocking for everyone that knew her… I knew her brother very well, who was my patient, because his wife abandoned him and his son. This was a problematic family… But they seemed to be common people, polite, with social prestige, money, a good appearance, good reputation, etc. Nobody could ever imagine that this family would have these problems… They seemed to be balanced and happy people, at the beginning of their lives.</p>
<p>I also had a neighbour who committed suicide jumping from his terrace, which was on the top floor. He was a lawyer, also working, with many appointments for the next day. He didn't have financial problems, but he had had an affair and before jumping he had hurt (superficially) a woman’s face with a knife.</p>
<p>Another neighbour knew his story and told me everything…<br />
He lived in the building, to the left of mine. When I went to the terrace of my apartment after hearing all the noise of the ambulances, I saw the police carrying a woman in a stretcher. I didn't see the lawyer, because he didn't jump in sight of the street – he jumped on the back side of the building, falling in the building’s garden.</p>
<p>I saw the marks of the dentist, who fell in the front part of her building, while her husband went to the car in order to bring the fresh milk he had forgotten there.</p>
<p>She passed near the baby and his toys, before jumping, but she had the courage to go to the terrace and abandon the kid, who was a very sweet and quiet boy. He was a beautiful angel with brown hair and blue eyes, who was always smiling.</p>
<p>His father said that he was a rare child, that slept well, would eat and stay quietly without complaining. He was a baby that almost never cried.</p>
<p>This was her second marriage, after a first marriage without children because her first husband could not have kids. So, the baby she had with her second husband, who loved her very much, was the realisation of a dream, a fulfilment that should only make her very happy.</p>
<p>She seemed to be happy… however, craziness dominated her mind gradually, as I could understand examining her life in detail and examining her husband’s dreams, which were giving us information about her character.</p>
<p>I saw my Uncle Leonid shouting in the streets, drunk and crazy, whereas before he had been a consul, with a very important social position, respected by everyone. He had a very good heart, but his personality was very strange.</p>
<p>He was extremely generous, and he wanted very much to be good to everyone, but he made many mistakes because he followed his psychological type. His type was the introverted psychological type based on intuitions, the most complicated psychological type that exists. It is very hard for anyone to define this type’s ideals, because it is too complex.</p>
<p>The introverted psychological type based on intuitions cannot get adapted to the reality in which he lives. He can only keep his mental health for life if he becomes an artist, otherwise he will certainly become a victim of neurosis or worse.</p>
<p>My adored uncle became hysterical. He had panic attacks and various other problems with his health.</p>
<p>He somehow recuperated his conscious mind however, and we had many discussions, after the shock.</p>
<p>He suffered very much… His failure was due to craziness, because he became too absurd. He seemed to be absurd from the beginning to my eyes, when I first met him. I was only 15 years old (I first met him after the accident I suffered at this age, when I was almost 16 years old). He lived in Sweden and I lived in Brazil, but I travelled with my mother to Europe six months after the accident, and after visiting Greece we went to Calmar, in Sweden, where Uncle Leonid lived with his family.</p>
<p>It was our destiny to meet each other again in Greece, where we lived near one another for certain period of time, since our family is Greek.</p>
<p>I decide to live in Greece after going back to Brazil, but he decided to go back to Sweden, where he lived and died, near my aunt and cousins.</p>
<p>Craziness was always something I was afraid of, because my father was schizophrenic. Only with me, that had his facial features, was he very kind. With my mother and everyone else he was a monster. He pretended to be very kind however, and nobody could imagine that he was a true demon if they didn't know him very well, because he was very gentle.</p>
<p>He had a lot of money and people obeyed him, even though he was absurd.</p>
<p>His implications and demands were very strange. He was always suspicious of everyone. He didn't let us open the door to anyone at night, no matter if it was our neighbour and we knew him very well.</p>
<p>Craziness is very strange. It can attack anyone, at any time.</p>
<p>My other very tragic example is the suicide of my adored friend Arnold, who was like a brother to me. We belonged to the same gang of friends when we were teens.</p>
<p>He suddenly became psychotic when he was 20 years old, and committed suicide when he turned 26, after psychiatric psychotherapy with “heavy medicine” as he described it to me in his letters. I was living in Athens, while he remained in Sao Paulo, our home town. My mother helped his family, because she stayed longer in Sao Paulo, while I went back to Greece.</p>
<p>These are only a few examples… The truth is that more than too many people in this world become victims of craziness everyday, because the human being inherits a wild conscience that tries to destroy his human conscience through craziness, because it is schizophrenic.</p>
<p>Craziness exists “a priori” in the human brain. We are already born with a schizophrenic content in our psyche and if we don’t transform it into a positive part of our human conscience through psychotherapy, we become victims for this absurd content that exists in the anti-conscience, our primitive and evil conscience, which can easily destroy our humanity through craziness.</p>
<p>The crazy person becomes a cruel monster, because they lose their human sensitivity. This is not their fault, however, because they inherit this absurd content in their psyche.</p>
<p>Some people have more tendency towards craziness than others. Everything depends on the person’s psychological type and conditions of life.</p>
<p>If you want to be prudent and stay far from craziness, despair and terror, start caring about your dreams and learn how to translate them according to the scientific method.</p>
<p>If you don’t have time to learn, send me your dreams for professional translation. You may even take advantage of my summer offer – I’m offering free professional translation for this summer only. Learn more about it at my site.</p>
<p>You have to care about your mental health and protect it while you can, because you don’t know how much power the wild anti-conscience has on your psyche.</p>
<p>If all the people I mentioned had translated their dreams, they would have been guided by the unconscious mind and cured for sure, before they had arrived to the point of completely losing their human conscience.</p>
<p>Our dreams can save our mental health, but there is only one method that can help us achieve this aim: the scientific method of dream interpretation discovered by Carl Jung and simplified by me, who continued his research in the unknown region of the psyche.</p>
<p>You can prevent depression, craziness and suicidal thoughts only by translating the meaning of your dreams and following the guidance you receive from the unconscious mind, which produces your dreams exactly in order to give you precious information about you, your life, other people and the world where you are, so that your mental health will be protected and your personality will be completely developed.</p>
<p>This way you’ll become more intelligent, your balance and mental health will be guaranteed, and you’ll be able to live peacefully and happily for life.</p>

<description><![CDATA[

Condoms, the pill, Diaphragms these are what we call instruments for artificial methods in family ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://callcenterguy.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/benedict-xvi-seal.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-390" src="http://callcenterguy.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/benedict-xvi-seal.jpg?w=217" alt="" width="217" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Condoms, the pill, Diaphragms these are what we call instruments for artificial methods in family planning.  The use of these methods are being supported by the Philippines Government to help Filipinos plan their families.  Of course the government is also endorsing the natural methods of birth control like the Rhythm method or just (shudder) abstaining form sex.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The Roman Catholic Church cried foul!  The church finds the use of the artificial methods of birth control to be immoral.  Rumor has it that a public servant was threatened by the diocese of their place that he will not be given Holy Communion if he pursues to author the ordinance of a population management and reductive health ordinance  in his city.  Although  the  church denies the allegations, it still makes me wonder. . .  Are they nuts?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Population control is I believe one of the solutions to fight poverty in the country.  Take for example "Juan" a street sweeper in Manila.  He has 6 children and he earns about 350 pesos a day, before taxes and other deductions that are required by the government to deduct from an individual's salary.  So Juan gets to take home about 250 ++ a day.  Let's face it my friends 250 to 300 pesos a day is not enough to provide food, clothing, shelter and education to his children.  A kilo of rice cost about 19 pesos and that's the so called "NFA" rice being sold by the government.  A kilo of meat is about 160 to 190 pesos.  But Juan has 6 children, so 1 kilo is not enough for all of them, for the whole day.  1 kilo of rice will not last a day for these folks. They need more.  The money Juan earned only went to food.  Now imagine, just imagine that one his children got sick.  Where will they get the money for medicine?  What if the child needs to be confined in the hospital?  Where will they get the money for the hospital bills?  See what I'm getting at?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The government is doing it's best to help solve the problem.  Teaching an individual how to plan his family can really help in the future.  The way I see it.  The government is teaching all the methods whether artificial or natural and let the individual choose.  But the church says, it is immoral to teach the artificial methods.  The government should only teach natural methods.  For the first time in my life I'll be supporting the government on this one.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Free choice!  Let the people decide.  The church can say all they want, but in the end only an individual can decide for himself.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">What is more immoral?  Use a condom, and prevent your wife being pregnant every year so that you can take care of your family better, send children to school and feed them enough.  Or have children every year, and since you don't earn enough you let your children grow up hungry and uneducated.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">So I ask again?  Is the church still the "moral compass" of our daily lives?  The institution that will tell us what's right or wrong?  The institution that taps an individual on his shoulder and tells him the consequences of his actions?  Or is the Church an aging, ignorant institution whose old fashion beliefs doesn't fit the modern world?  An Institution that doesn't care if people are hungry due to lack of money to buy food, as long as they can say to themselves "At least I didn't use a condom"  An Institution that would rather have a family with a dozen hungry children, who will beg on the streets and sometimes commit crimes just so they can eat?  Wouldn't it rather have  a family consisting of a father, a mother and two children?  Children that the the parents can support, feed  better food,  send to school  and  as a result be a productive member of the community?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Let's be clear about one thing.  I'm not against the church.  I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church since I was a baby, I grew up in a house where every Sunday is a "Family Day" where we hear mass on that day.  I attended catholic school from primary to secondary levels.  But I also know that the Roman Catholic's stand on reproductive health can really be frightening.  The children has the right to be fed, educated and sheltered.  But if we don't control population how can an individual who earns minimum wage provide these very basic things to his children if he counted 12 mouths to feed?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Just thinking out loud!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Isaiah 41:10</p>
<blockquote><p><em>10 So do not fear, for I am with you;<br />
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.<br />
I will strengthen you and help you;<br />
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The Lord strengthens me each day.  When I put my trust in His word and follow His instructions I am able to battle against sexual sin and immorality.  God has given me the opportunity to be forgiven and to turn my heart to to Him.  When I feel tempted, when I feel pressured I turn to Him knowing He is there to give me strength, allowing me to hold true to the values of righteousness.  Through His presence I am able to stand against sin.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Psalm 24:3-4</p>
<blockquote><p><em>3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?<br />
Who may stand in his holy place?</em></p>
<p><em>4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,<br />
who does not lift up his soul to an idol<br />
or swear by what is false.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I can not say that my heart is pure.  I have done well to clean my hands of the obvious sin in my life and my heart is pure in that area, but there are other falsehoods that I cling to.  With sexual immorality gripping me for so long it was easy to ignore all the sin in my life.  Slowly though it is becoming apparent.  I am gradually identifying the idols that bind my soul.  Cleaning my hands of these and purifying myself to God's standards may take a great deal of time, and a supreme effort.  It is all worth it.  I have lived in fantasy and subscribed to falsehood.  I have given away my soul, and turned away from God.  Now I am convicted to put myself right, and turn myself over to His hands.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://outofsin.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/hurricane.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-108" src="http://outofsin.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/hurricane.jpg?w=227" alt="" width="227" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>My thoughts lately have been sparked by reformed doctrine opinions regarding natural disasters. These opinions adhere to the premise that natural disasters are God's way of punishing and bringing judgment on people. I located some podcasts recorded in the weeks just after hurricane Katrina that expressed this opinion, declaring that Katrina was directly associated with God’s judgment on the people of New Orleans.</p>
<p>Accused of being one of the most sinful cities in the world by a leading expert in reformed doctrine, he went on to describe how New Orleans was host to some of the most egregious acts of sexual immorality, gambling, and crime. Based on these observations the only conclusion he could come to was that God must bring judgment against the city; in the form of Katrina. The call was for society to clean up its act, get right with God, and obey His commands. As a society we are enslaved to sin and God is justified in mass destruction.</p>
<p>What? What happened to our savior? What happened to the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross? I have a terribly hard time trying to reconcile this speaker’s comments against all that we know of God. God is all powerful and certainly if he can bring such destruction, then can he not influence on a much more specific basis? Is He not concerned and longing for each one of us to seek Him? How many righteous and God honoring Christians lost their lives?</p>
<p>What is foremost in the eyes of God? He greatly wants each of use to turn out hearts and attention to Him. God wants a personal and close relationship with each person, so much so that He sent His only Son to forgive us of our sins. Why would he make such a precious sacrifice only to destroy those He forgave?</p>
<p>Is the message being spoken by this Christian expert that there is no hope for any of these people, and that they will never see the sin in their lives, and never turn their hearts towards God? God has given us the freedom to choose, the grace to screw up, and the opportunity to be forgiven.</p>
<p>Jesus the incarnate of God himself came to earth, suffered, was crucified and rose from the dead. Didn’t Jesus extend grace to everyone no matter what their condition? He did not strike sinners down, he extended the opportunity for them to turn their hearts, change their ways. Would this not be the personified image of God, His true being, His true belief? God gives everyone the opportunity to proclaim Christ as their savior and turn from their sin.<span> </span>Why then, would He destroy a city when each person has the opportunity to turn to God?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please, my friend.  Listen to me now very carefully.  If you want to do what is right, <em>stay away from alcohol</em>.  It is seductive and dangerous, and many are in personal misery and ruin because of that first drink.</p>
<p>The bottle looks so artsy, so rich, so intelligent; but inside is a powerful substance that will begin to break down your good resistance the moment you sip it.  True, you will numb your tensions, <em>but at the expense of numbing your moral senses as well</em>.  You will feel good, very good, good enough to think about that man who is not your husband or that woman who is flirting with you.  What is it!?  That alcohol you just drank!  It is tranquilizing your otherwise good behavior.</p>
<p>At first you will say, "I am different from others.  I can handle this."  But what about the time when you have confidently eased from one glass to two, then to three, then to four?  What about that "one too many" that pushes you over into delusion and deception -- and that extra someone happens to there with you?</p>
<p>Don't you know that fornication and alcohol go hand in hand?  Why do you think alcohol is served when people want to get romantic?  Why do you think so many have woke up in a stranger's bed?  Because alcohol put them in the mood!  Alcohol caused them to forget the importance of their commitments and their moral standards!  And now they <em>really</em> are paying for their fancy bottle!</p>
<p>Want to walk in victory?  Want to have full ability in the Kingdom?  Then stay in control of yourself at all times.  Be sober, be watchful, be alert; and your disciplined life will keep you from the traps into which the foolish masses fall.</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>The most effective of all morality-based arguments for same-sex marriage, the one that persuades more people than any other argument, is the one that equates opposition to same-sex marriage with the old opposition to interracial marriage.</p>
<p>The argument, repeated so often that it sounds incontestable, is this: Just as parts of American society once had immoral laws that forbade whites and blacks from marrying, so, today, society continues to have immoral laws forbidding men from marrying men and women from marrying women. And just as decent people overthrew the former, decent people must overthrow the latter.</p>
<p>Thanks in large part to widespread higher education – the higher the educational level, the more one is likely to hold this view – vast numbers of Americans believe in this equation of sex (gender) and race.</p>
<p>But the equation is false.</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 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>

<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>James 1:19-20</p>
<blockquote><p><em>19 My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20 for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>There is that "listen" word again, urging me to be very conscious of weakness, but the main reason for this choice in verse is that of anger.  I think this verse hits on several areas of weakness for me; listening, quickly speaking (interrupting), and quickly angered.</p>
<p>I am certain that my sexual addiction and immorality have perpetuated this mindset and behavior within me.  Being closed off from relationships and and not connecting with others helped grow these inequities within me.  I did not want to listen, so I did not.  I spoke quickly typically in defense of my selfish desires.  I grew quickly in anger as others requested more of my time and attention than I was willing to give.</p>
<p>I have struggled spiritually because of this; my marriage has been destroyed; all trust is gone; intimacy evaporated; family connection vanished.  Now I must awaken and work to rebuild what has been torn apart.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is predictable that I warn men to stay away from loose women; but hear me, ladies!  "Bad company corrupts good morals."  There is a woman that is not worth befriending and not worth envying.  She is the practicing fornicator, the hardened adulterous.  Do not mimic her ways.  Do not be impressed with her boasting or even her fame.  Her ways lead to ruin now and Hell later.</p>
<ul>
<li>The whorish female parades her shame to the world.  She has cauterized her virtuous ability to blush.</li>
<li>At the sound of correction or advice, the whorish female puts her hands are over her ears -- and laughs.</li>
<li>The whorish female dresses to seduce.  Her attire advertises to the world that she hates virginity and fidelity.</li>
<li>The whorish female has many men, but she sobs for lack of one she can trust.</li>
<li>The whorish female mocks the pure, even while her former lovers curse her.</li>
<li>Who is the whorish female?  She is the loud one -- rude, crude, and obnoxious.  She is stubborn, moody, and fights everyone she knows.  She has long forgotten common courtesy.  She has long forgotten family.</li>
</ul>
<p>Is there any hope for this type of woman?  Of course!  Through Christ, she can be forgiven, healed, and cleansed.  But unless she is <em>completely</em> surrendered at the foot of the cross, <em>beware of her</em>!  She is trouble -- she may just be after your man next.</p>
<p>Sister in Christ, stay on target with purity and sound thinking.  Surround yourself with strong, godly women; and you will be an asset to your family, your community, and the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus.</p>

<p>You may have noticed the link to <a title="Liquid Church" href="http://www.liquidchurch.com/" target="_blank">Liquid Church</a> in my Helpful Links section.  I came across the website for this New Jersey church a couple months ago.  What caught my attention was their podcasts on sexual immorality and purity, so I downloaded a handful at the time.  I came across the files in iTunes this week while filtering through my podcasts trying to clean up old programs.  It prompted me to look again at the site and go through the media they have available on the site.<br />
I recommend that you take the time to look through the site and download their podcasts entitled <a title="Porn Again" href="http://www.liquidchurch.com/pages/page.asp?page_id=24816" target="_blank">Porn Again</a>.  The insight pastor Tim Lucas brings to the subject is interesting and engaging.  I listened to the shows again and then subscribed to the other podcasts they have available there.  Lots of great info on a number of topics.</p>

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">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">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>

<description><![CDATA[
I listed some action steps to breaking free from the bonds of sexual addiction in my previous post ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://outofsin.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/lake_clouds_water1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-85" src="http://outofsin.wordpress.com/files/2008/07/lake_clouds_water1.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>I listed some action steps to breaking free from the bonds of sexual addiction in my previous post of “<a href="http://outofsin.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/mastered-by-porn-and-sex-%e2%80%93-steps-to-break-free/">Mastered by porn and sex – steps to break free</a>”.  I feel that it is important to elaborate on each of these in more detail.</p>
<ul>
<li>You need to acknowledge and admit to the problem, realizing that it is only through Christ that you will break free of this.  There is an overwhelming urge to pray to God for release from this struggle and for Him to take the desire away from you.  That will not happen.  God created us with desire and He is not going to take that from us.  Desire is not the problem anyway; it is what you have done with the desire.  Desire has been twisted and mixed with immoral acts gradually over years of practice.  You have spent years getting to the point you are now at.  It does not just vanish instantly.  Truthfully you have a long hard battle before you, one that you may not be able to accomplish; certainly one that you will not accomplish on your own without turning to God.  Until you are ready to yield to God’s authority you will not have success.</li>
<li>Probably the hardest step is to confess your sin to others.  It is very important to confess your secret to someone in authority at your church.  If you are in a church where you feel unsafe confessing your sin, then you need to find one that is safe, and you need to do it quickly.  Some churches openly acknowledge the issue while others are completely adverse to the problem.  If you confess your issue to the leaders and do not feel there is support then you need to find another church.  Confessing your sin to your spouse is going to be difficult and it will be disastrous.  If you hide it away and do not confess, sooner or later it will be found, and the results will be so much worse.  If you are actively seeking help when you reveal your addiction, then this will help ease the blow, but be prepared for the worst.</li>
<li>Find a purity group and accountability partner.  This is much easier in a church that openly acknowledges the struggle, since they are more likely to have support groups.  Church groups are going to be based on Christian principles and will attack the problem from a biblical perspective giving you the foundation needed to reach victory.  Accountability groups and partners will help hold you to a high standard of honesty and conduct.  You have been living in secret it is now time to be honest and open.  It is time to form some strong relationships with individuals who care and know the struggle.</li>
<li>Reading books on sexual addiction and purity could be the most beneficial yet overlooked aspect.  I am always reading at least one book and sometimes two on the subject.  I also supplement this by listening to a large number of podcasts on the subject.  The material will give you a much better understanding of the root causes, triggers, strategies, and steps regarding success.  The free time you now have from not acting out needs to be spent productively and this is one activity.</li>
<li>Journaling compliments reading.  Through journaling you are able to articulate your thoughts, feelings, emotions and victories.  This is not the time to jot down a list of details about your day, but the chance to dig into your emotions, how you felt, what your feelings were ate various times throughout the day.  It is time to look critically at your day and describe the temptations, trials, and moments of victory.  What you are reading is in fact a result of my journaling.  This blog is an extension of my original journaling on my struggle.  Take the time; you should have plenty, to write about your emotions for the day.</li>
<li>Do not disregard professional counseling.  I feel it is very important to seek out a Christian counselor who specializes in this type struggle and addiction.  As this struggle becomes more public we are seeing more counselors who focus on the topic.  A counselor with a Christian background will be able to guide and help you not only with the struggle, but also with the <a href="http://outofsin.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/root-causes-of-sexual-addiction/">root causes</a> that lead to the addiction.</li>
</ul>
<p>The steps above can provide a very strong foundation and start to obtain sexual purity in your life.  Feel free to comment on these steps and any others that you feel are important.</p>

<p><em>(Tim: Titled </em>The Shame of Alfred Kinsey<em>, this ran December 3, 2004 as a guest editorial in Bloomington's <a href="http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/htoopinion/">Herald Times</a>.)</em></p>
<p>The late Allan Bloom was an Indianapolis native who served as professor at University of Chicago. In <em>The Closing of the American Mind</em>, Bloom lamented the destruction divorce caused his students. Noting that parents often used therapists to help their children cope, Bloom wrote, "Psychologists are the sworn enemies of guilt."</p>
<p>If therapists are the sworn enemies of guilt, sex researchers are the sworn enemies of shame-with IU's Alfred C. Kinsey leading the pack.</p>
<p>Although hired by IU as a zoologist, in 1938 Kinsey contrived to land a job lecturing engaged and married seniors on "biology." He ended the course by taking his students' sexual histories.</p>
<p>Kinsey spent the rest of his academic career conducting these interviews and disseminating the data. He was convinced that publicizing peoples' private sexual lives would usher in a more peaceful age devoid of shame and inhibition.</p>
<p>But his efforts did not bring the dawn of Aquarian freedom...</p></div>
<p><a id="more"></a></p>
<div class="entry-more">
<p>Rather, one set of negative consequences was exchanged for another. The fruitful discipline of true morality was exchanged for the fruitless bondage of false morality. The Biblical law codified throughout the Western world over many centuries was exchanged for infinitely smaller and petty laws.</p>
<p>So today, instead of community pressure being brought to bear against adulterers and sodomites, it's brought to bear against those condemning such crimes. Freedom is shrinking as IU's diversity advocates and the Bloomington City Council's Human Rights Commission use shame as a disciplinary tool against innocent souls caught in the act of expressing disapproval of sexual perversion.</p>
<p>Pity the poor widow who conscientiously declines to rent her upstairs apartment to an unmarried couple. She will soon learn what G. K. Chesterton warned of: "When you break the big laws, you do not get freedom; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws."</p>
<p>Motivated by the love of their neighbors, godly citizens work to oppose the sin destroying homes, marriages, and souls, but find their convictions censored and their motives smeared as "hatred." And the civil authority joins in the oppression by, for instance, using citizens' tax dollars to provide support for the local baby-killing organization, Planned Parenthood. The biblical prophet, Isaiah, spoke of this day:</p>
<blockquote><p>Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; ...who are wise in their own eyes (and) take away the rights of the ones who are in the right. (Isaiah 5:20 ff.).</p></blockquote>
<p>Since Kinsey first began to expose men's secrets, incest, domestic violence, divorce, the poverty rate of women and children, and deaths due to sexually transmitted diseases have all increased dramatically. But no one seems to notice. At the recent Bloomington premier of the biopic, <em>Kinsey</em>, partygoers making a donation of $1,000 were granted the privilege of hobnobbing with the filmmakers at a private reception where Kinsey was feted.</p>
<p>When the Kinsey Report was released in 1948, noted anthropologist Margaret Mead critiqued it:</p>
<blockquote><p>In every society sex patterns depend on a careful and meticulous balance between ignorance and knowledge, sophistication and navet. (The Kinsey Report) has upset the balance ...between the things we don't mention, and the things we do. And it may be expected to have considerable effect in our society for that reason. Quite a good deal of our virtue has depended upon people not knowing what other people were doing... In the past, it was said, "It is better to marry than to burn." Now we translate (the verse), "It is better to have an outlet of some sort, because you've got to have an outlet of some sort." ...so it's just a question of which outlet and (Kinsey) suggests no way of choosing between a woman and a sheep. (<em>Footnote 1</em>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Two weeks ago the following invitation was circulated here at Indiana University:</p>
<blockquote><p>SLAG is pleased to announce that Will Stockton will be presenting "The Normalization of Bestiality: Kinsey's Analysis of Human Sexual Contact with Animals" ...at the next brown-bag colloquium (Friday, November 19 at 12:10 pm in Indiana University's Ballantine Hall, Room 221). (Stockton's paper) explores Alfred Kinsey's assertion that bestiality, rather than being "a strange perversion of human affection," is actually "part of the normal mammalian picture" of human psychosexual development.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kinsey was no hero. Those who think he was demonstrate no love, but hatred of sexuality's God-given beauty. So now we've arrived at the day when men no longer know why they ought to choose a woman instead of a sheep.</p>
<p>And the band plays on.</p>
