silent cries
December 16th, 2008
I heed voices in the distance screaming my name Silently Taunting me with whispers Spiraling through the wind As darkness looms before me. Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past. Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Indolently I flee for them Thirsting for their solace Silently I weep, craving their embrace Cynical fornications Denial my only fear Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Hand in hand they wait As I stumble with each step Silently I wonder if they feel my soul As it cries out in pain With grim misconceptions Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Will they guide me on my way? Or will I make this journey alone Silently Can the bouquet of pristine flowers Fill the spring time air Where they await my presence Does the sky still sing Its sorrowful song Silently Was this final destination Really worth their wait Optimism at its best Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard Tranquility overwhelms me An aura of peace Silently I stand alone Upon this road before me Distance uncertain I open my mouth to sing I extend my arms for comfort Silently No-one greets me No-one welcomes me To the other side Acid tears become their pain Tiny drops of memories past Reverberating screams Yet, only silence heard.

Research Needed to Understand the Human Animal
July 9th, 2008
Are humans different from all other higher-order mammals in the animal kingdom? Do humans warrant a separate and unique category? Are humans themselves different by way of breeds? Should we classify each breed or now that the world is closer together are humans so inter-mingled that they are all becoming one?
Well considering these questions and the need for further scrutiny of the subject experimentation should be completed and so my questions would be;
1.) Are most all humans animals?
2.) Does a very small subset of humans have something extra making them different? (enough different to warrant a separate classification?)
I am not concerned personally why some humans may refuse to believe that we are not all created equal, as I believe this would be due to education teachings. Nor am I concerned (personally) why some humans refuse to consider that they are just animals, as this is an issue of religious indoctrination and/or ego without observational data. I see you are concerned with your data being messed up due to the preconceived notions of participants in an experiment.
Now then my question that I would most like answered is in number two, what is the difference, is it an extra gene, a difference in DNA, blood type, what, brain formation, is it a genetic defect, or a positive enhancement? I sense difference and that is my observation without ego. I would like to have my answer. But to do so, we can only use the top 1% and test them. But my question in the testing is what are we testing for? I do not know, but suspect the answer or a couple of possibilities.
Should humans dare to seek these answers? Should humans further probe for the truth? Will we like what we discover or will it shock us in our own ego-centric belief systems? Are you willing to seek the answers? Consider all this in 2006.

Anxiety - Naturally Of Course
June 19th, 2008
What causes anxiety? Well if we all knew that wouldnt life be a bed of roses. Being able to nip it in the bud (excuse the pun) before it causes the damage it is capable of like interfering and preventing a person from leading a normal life There are many different theories behind the cause but because each of us differ it makes it more difficult to pin point the specific reason behind its beginning.
Losing control of your thoughts and actions to an extent that no matter what you say or do is out of your jurisdiction, it is then medical help is strongly advised.
There is evidence that anxiety concerns develop from physical means like an over active thyroid gland which controls different body functions. Anxiety and drugs (types of medication) is sometimes not a match made in heaven so it is important to talk to your doctor before taking any tablets/pills from over the counter that you are not familiar with.
Stressful events past or present are main factors also queried behind a persons anxious moments. If depression/anxiety runs in the family then there is an increased risk or possibility that history may repeat itself.
We all have anxious moments but it is how we deal with these upsets which is the important thing. Anxiety can be brought on by the least little thing but common factors like losing a job, moving house, and parting of the ways from a partner are just a few to mention. To deal with these depressing events we have to learn to cope. By conquering the coping process you will notice your depression/anxiety symptoms easing.
Relaxation classes like yoga have a great effect on patients who suffer from emotional disturbances in their mind body and soul.
Anxiety does affect people in diverse ways. Many patients experience anxiety chiefly through emotional /psychological symptoms, while others suffer from physical effects. Either way both are powerful enough to destroy.
Anyone at anytime can become affected by anxiety. Anxiety is diagnosed as a mental health disorder. Five per cent of the population at some stage in their lives have had an anxiety or depressive bout where it has left them feeling agitated and concerned for their health. Irregular pace of the heartbeat speeding up has given some people reason to believe that their experience of anxiety or a panic session is that of a heart attack.
Reclaim your mind body and soul naturally if modern science is not your way of dealing with such health matters of which I hasten to add has proven to be very successful in the healing process for anxiety. Natural courses of herbal remedies are readily available but first and foremost consider Yoga.
To relief stress that comes with everyday commitments then why not follow the millions of people who have chosen yoga to seek peace of mind. This form of exercise is a proven way in getting results. (Thus depending on the patients requirements or severity of his/her condition)
Does yoga help? Yes naturally of course.

Using Intuition To Still The Mind
April 27th, 2008
Intuition was a wonderful gift. It was also an awful curse. By
instantly recognizing patterns, intuition was nature’s vital
tool for survival. Life ceaselessly faced a train of unlimited
choices and, often, baffling problems. These demanded instant
decisions. An animal could not remain undecided, whether to
drink water, or to eat grass. Should it be aggressive and fight,
run away, or relax and accept the situation? It was intuition,
which interpreted events to trigger emotions. Anger made them
aggressive. Fear made them retreat. And familiarity supported
relaxation. Each emotion eliminated groups of thoughts. If
fighting was the option, amicable thoughts did not fit. If the
decision was to cut and run, it was useless to marshal one’s
militant strengths. The intuitive process eliminated mental
activity, which did not fit the chosen course of action. Sadly,
this elimination process was also the biggest weakness of the
system.
Each emotion set off a focused drive seeking solutions. Anger,
fear, or friendliness triggered competing drives. Intuition
focused each drive by eliminating views that did not fit its
compulsive focus. Anger eliminated amicable memories. Fear lost
sight of fighting strengths. As any situation evolved, the
emotional strengths of these partisan drives varied. Opposing
emotions competed for control. Intuition acted in the emotional
center, the limbic system, to select the most powerful emotion,
which then ruled. If it was anger, it pulled the trigger. When
the choice was made, the process inhibited competing drives,
with contrary feelings. Opposing views were largely lost to
consciousness.
Across species, fear dictated an escape drive, which sought
safety. A deer bounded away. A bird took flight. A fish swam
off. While the activities of running, flying and swimming
differed, it was the drive, which achieved the objective of
escaping. Each drive evaluated experience and the environment.
Escape was hardly possible by heading into the predator. Getting
away demanded evaluation of many escape routes, including
slipping into a safe sanctuary, inaccessible to the predator.
Like the underside of a rock. Drives involved a search of
multiple contexts to uncover the right answer. While intuitive
drives usually delivered the answer instantly, some drives
failed to uncover solutions.
Modern life offered few speedy answers. Senior positions had
added problems. The higher the position, more the solutions
needed for the myriad problems faced by a venture. Intuition,
driven by emotions, was the creative force, which delivered
answers. Hidden from view, drives constantly sought solutions.
While one problem was consciously evaluated, subconscious drives
continued search processes to solve other issues. Since, anger,
fear or jealousy powered such searches, they often sought to
achieve conflicting objectives. These hidden emotions troubled
the mind, creating distressing internal conflicts. Sadly, this
was the negative face of intuition, standing in the way of
achieving peace of mind.
Conflicting viewpoints surged in the subconscious. How could
they be integrated? In a harsh and unforgiving world, how could
a multitude of clashing drives be graciously focused? How could
the mind be stilled? Across the ages, many solutions were
offered to focus the mind and still conflicts. Meditation,
chanting and breathing routines were found to be beneficial.
But, those practices treated the symptom, not the problem. The
long term solution was to quiet the internal battles of these
competing drives. All knowledge and experience lived within.
These same drives were powerful search processes, which could
delve deep, to deliver answers. Unique new insights and
solutions waited to be discovered.
Drives provided windows into the mind. It was a drive, which
assisted in the preparation of a simple shopping list. It
searched memory and current context to deliver, line by line, a
list of all the items you needed to buy. By contextually
searching the mind, drives could be made to play a valuable,
creative role. When particularly burdened by a problem, drives
could draw out a list of one’s deepest concerns. With its sort
facility, a spreadsheet could be used to list and comprehend the
turmoils of the mind. The routine could begin by listing, line
by line, different aspects of a problem, as it came to mind.
Each, a short entry in a single cell of the spread sheet. It may
have just begun with, say, “Feel awful” and gone on down. That
was the first thought. Many conflicting emotions surged in the
background. Each line would sum up a single feeling and its
concern. It could be “Negative departmental report” Or, it could
be just a hunch. “David will support me.” The worst fears were
noted down. “Mortgage payments.” And the common sense thoughts.
“This too will pass.”
Writing a list was a calming process. The questioning drive
helped still the mind. Differing viewpoints were noted down.
These views would arrive in conspicuous sequence. Each entry
brought one viewpoint into consciousness - into the general view
of isolated and competing drives. Sensible viewpoints would
normally have been eliminated from view by angry emotions.
Typically, about 60 odd entries would empty the mind of every
related thought. Entering opposing viewpoints usually brought
balance. The inquiry process stilled background turmoil. The
most critical part of this process came next.
A label was entered for each line in an adjacent cell on the
spreadsheet. “Fear,” “Opportunity”, or even “Unlikely” could be
the labels. With every aspect already considered, it was easier
to label an entry. Each label fitted a few more entries. The
picture slowly cleared. Underground fears surfaced. Solutions
emerged. The closing of one door usually opened another. Those
60 entries would fit a dozen or so categories. A “sort” of the
labels column would arrange similar ones together, in alphabetic
order. Listing similarly labeled ideas together would bring
clarity. They became groups of consistent, allied thoughts. The
sorted spreadsheet list integrated the mind.
Isolated drives were forced into the open and a balanced view
emerged. Viewed together, “Unlikely” put a label on needless
worries. The less likely outcomes could be ignored. The
inevitable ones had to be accepted. That left you with the
actions you could take. “Opportunities” formed the basis for a
future plan. The rest of the list just climbed off your chest.
Another threatening issue would have been acknowledged, accepted
and foreseen. The spreadsheet evaluation balanced the mind and
stilled hidden anxieties and conflicts. Lifted burdens. Anger
and fear, love and altruism cooperated to search for solutions
which met all the concerns of the mind. With the power of
intuition, an integrated mind became the most creative force in
the world.
