Mr. B. R.

I just finished a volume of work by William W. Reade on  such a subject..

To Paraphrase the author;

“The Martydom of Man”

“We walk apon the earth when living and are put into it’s belly when we die”

He went on to explain his thoughts..

Plants are dumb creatures  — yet we feel a pang of pity for a flower trampled on…this emotion comes from our childhood where they were not merely fossils but we ‘believed’ in nature, all things that moved or changed…seemed to have a mind of their own.

There is something that resides within us, entirely independent from the body in which it is contained ~~we think that it is the mind, the soul, the genius, the spirit …which thinks, desires and decides even while we sleep,    it is busy weaving thoughts in our brains and wanders into other lands, and converses with people while awake we have never seen!

Then where does this soul/spirit    go when the Body is destroyed by time?

In our dreams …what is in our hearts   becomes a vision as we pass into sleep we feel/see one who has departed in such a real sense ..that we feel    we  have been in touch with their spirit!

Thus the grand idea of Life after Death is Born..kate..

dear kate,

I am a middle aged man…am not in poor health, not too religious  - but still worry/wonder about  whether or not we just return to the earth  after death  or  is there any proof whatsoever that we don’t end here and are somehow transported to a higher place of being? B. R.

Yeah   so this   is   my alter ego…deal with it!

my response to Shopaholic?  summed up by the late great comedienne…SOPHIE TUCKER….

sez  she~~~

“From Birth to 18    a   girl needs  good parents!

From 18-36  she needs  good looks!

From 36-55 she needs a good personality!

From 55 on  she needs CASH”

so little Miss  I JUST GOTTA HAVE IT… see where this is going…K

sorry,   your  letter on  being a ’shopaholic’  just screamed for that title!

My first thoughts were O. C. D. [obsessive compulsive disease].

This is a personality disorder…which affects social skills and quality of life. You need behaviour modification  treatment therapy..

If you cant afford this and

God knows  you could not afford fortune cookies  at this point…

you have to ask yourself these questions,

Is it a quick fix  for the blahs?

Are your purchases  un-used  or hidden?

Are you feeling guillty about this behaviour?

Would your life be richer if you shopped less?

You are spending more than you can afford,   this we know.

There is a good book called  “I Shop therfore I AM!”

[finding your place in the world in a search for yourself]

by April Bensen, Phd.

It seems you are defining yourself by this obsession for ‘things’.

Remember this ” You can NEVER get enough - of what you don’t need” A. B., Phd

[Maybe go to the Library  and check out this book..before investing in Therapy~~~ Kate

There is nothing more conflicted….than knowing who you are!

or worse –  than thinking you know just who the hell

you turned out  to  be.

and yet I find myself devoted to me as a subject.

Narcissim/self absorption?

yeah, why not?

Story  cannot be a romantic comedy

[smiley face here]

altho, romance and comedy are two really important ingredients.

“Some Assembly Required”

takes me for a while outside of  myself,

while all the while digging in so deep  ~~

that I am lost.

below is paraphrased from a magazine article,

get this;

“Some while back there was a newspaper story about an ape in Afica,

being studied by scientists and after months and months

of coaxing  –the ape produced the first drawing ever

charcoaled by an animal…

this sketch showed the bars of the poor creatures cage!!”

I may not be able to bear the reality.

Hey, like Dennis Leary sez,

“Life sux, get a fuckin’ helmet.”

more, much more to come…k

‘PERCEPTION MANAGEMENT’

[P.M.] 

 not familiar?

This is the Defense Departments..Public Relations b.s.

Manipulation, mind games, be careful what you

 injest from the ‘mass media’..

Emergence into insanity includes

the Internet today…fastest growing folly.

/////////////////////////////////////////

okay  enough cloak and dagger crap.

what about repressed memories?

any thoughts on this??

You know ther shit you dont want to think about?

Your subconscious of past events that

seem beyond your ability to deal with

 at the time they are happening…[real time]

is the brain’s fail-safe mechanism to protect us.

We simply block it all out.

This is how we go on in life  when tragedy strikes…
