Psychology - January 2007

A person with negative attitude and self destructive tendencies could be made to view the world in a positive light and be conniving of all acts so that they become a person of the world. A worldly person, 'friend to all mankind', so to speak.


‘Reprogrammed’ as in changing the outlook a person has on life, wiping portions of memory and other known conventions, so that the person can become an average to fit into a particular society and therefore survive, content living another’s dream.

Why is that some people wake at dawn and leap happily out of bed, full of beans and eager to get up and get going; while others (like me) need to press the snooze button for about an hour before they feel half-way awake?
I sleep enough hours, have an interesting job, can pay the bills, am no more stressed than the next person and have a generally positive and optimistic outlook, but when I wake (or am woken by the alarm) I feel like I've been smacked round the head with a brick, and it takes at least an hour for me to 'come to' and start feeling human. NB this feeling is obviously worse if I've had a drink the night before but I feel like this even when I've not been drinking).
Any tips for helping me to get up with the lark and effortlessly achieve all I have to do?

Your search among books, word upon word, may lead you to the depths of knowledge, but it is not the way to receive the reflection of your true self.

When you have thrown off your ideas as to mind and body, the original truth will fully appear. Zen is simply the expression of truth; therefore longing and striving are not the true attitudes of Zen.

When I was 2 years old, my country had a war so we had to get out from there. We moved to another country in Africa, and that country, there was another War that started from there. As my family moved from one country to another in Africa, we have seen our house on fire, guns pointing at us and some other violence. Anyways, all of the angers that I had inside of me, I used to talk to myself because it always made feel good.

But now, we are in the U.S. , people think I'm crazy because I do sometimes talk to myself in public. I hate medicine, I don't want to be on medication for this or go to the mental health place.

for example :
when we feel cold we shrink like the fetus in the womb
,
when we get angry we feel like the blood in our head is boiling
and
when you put the fluid in a container it takes its shape no matter what its , exactly like humans when you go to any diffrent group of ppl most of the time you be like them even if you dont recognize that,the adaptation its in the human nature.
"there are some exception of course"

i know thats sound stupid but really can we interpret or expect the humans actions "psychological and biological" through non vital things .especially psychologically.


and if you have any other examples that would be nice if you add them

Thank you

She was at my childhood home walking toward her '77 Thunderbird car. She sat there and ate a couple of bites of a piece of angel food cake. I got mad at her and bit her in the leg, but then she hugged me and said, "Diane, Jesus came to save the world." Then I woke up.

Someone once said to me you have to love yourself and accept yourself before you can love another person and let yourself go. I was just curious as to other's beliefs/thoughts on this.
