curious synchronicity. about an hour ago i was listening to buddhist-scholar-yogi quoting famous buddhist dogen from his podcast 'Lotus Sutra, Part 11: A Treasure in Your Coat'
Hmm. I went through a major two-year depression as a teenager. It was provoked by the realization that hope was an illusion. At the time, I also considered myself an existentialist and I believed every decision I made was absolutely critical. Finally I decided that in some lights everything is an illusion and one needed illusions to live--and I've been okay ever since.
Did someone seriously complain about that headline? I don’t even know what song it’s from but even my dopey ass knew recognized that it was a lyric. People gotta lighten up.
"They" played this out so well. My entire youth was wasted on this fake "alt" rebellion (never a huge "Jane's" fan though). The punk-alt-grunge thing just an extended Part II of whatever psy-op "they" ran on all of those who believed themselves "dropping out" in the 1960s. But in my defense, I could never relate to either corporate "right" and the wealthy self-righteous Yuppie Boomer "left" in the 1980s.

PROMIS software must pick up on what is typed in the Subject line, because years ago I sent an Email to two people in which I put Help in the Subject line. Neither one of the people to whomI sent that Email received it. Fortunately, I had a phone number for one of them. I called her up and said, "Wendy, Did you receive my Email?" She said, "Which one?" I said, "The one that said Help in the subject line." She said, "No, I didn't receive that one."
So I am very careful what I put in the Subject line. It must be benign so the recipients receive my Email.

It's a who's-who of human development, so hold on tight for a ride through abstract thought..
Check out 'Language', 'Memes', 'Chuang Tzu's Chaos Linguistics', and, of course Terence 'the-world-is-made-of-language' McKenna for some great reads.

Hysterical Paralysis & The Neurosis of Misdirection ...
Early in this chapter Dr. Angyal speaks of the weakness
which results from lack of conceptual clarity concerning
what is to be encouraged and fostered. Here the idea
of the "real self" emerges in functional terms - as a
development consistent "with the principle of confident
self-acceptance that governs the basic system of health".
He continues:
The healthy pattern must be sought and uncovered, not
within the pseudo-normal surface personality where its
vestiges serve merely to disguise the neurotic assumptions,
but within the depth of neurosis itself. Only when
the destructive and self-destructive attitudes ... can
themselves be shown to be distortions of healthy trends
is contact with the real self established; one gets to
it by going through the neurotic attitudes, not around
them. Tracing manifest disturbances to the unacceptable
motives generated within the neurotic framework takes
one only halfway toward understanding them. This
partial understanding fills the person with shame and
guilt, which in themselves are not conducive to change.
Real understanding traces the neurotic manifestation
all the way back to its healthy sources.
When the neurosis is discovered to be an approximation, or a
twisted version of health, the patient's outlook becomes hopeful.

Befriending Ourselves
Loving-Kindness-maitri-toward ourselves doesn't mean getting rid of
anything. Maitri means that we can still be crazy after all these years.
We can still be angry after all these years. We can still be timid or
jealous or full of feelings of unworthiness. The point is not to try to
change ourselves. Meditation practice isn't about trying to throw ourselves
away and become something better. Its about befriending who we are
already. The ground of practice is you or me or whoever we are right now,
just as we are. That's the ground, that's what we study, that's what we
come to know with tremendous curiosity and interest.

yes.
perhaps the 'ultimate' truth is that truth is an illusion. hmmmm.
It is important to recognize limitations to the human mind. That said, I also think our minds are amazing and under utilized and misunderstood.
lol to opening a headline school
🤣🤣🤣

You really do crack me up. You’re one special human being. I’m so glad I found you 🤗
i laughed. and thought of this:

Not knowing the headline you had before you changed it, not being given this headline in this post, there's no meaning in it for me.
It's like a joke you can't understand because the punchline is a reference to something you don't know or ever heard of.
