Some Encouragment

I want to encourage people to take place in the dream journal and post your dreams. I was reading through them and many of them seemed like premonitions. Here’s how I can tell if I am having a premonitory dream or a psychological dream.

Signs of a premonitory dream:

Everything is hyper real.

It is in full color, often colors one can not see with the naked eye.

There is often (for me) a presence standing next to me that I can not see but who narrates the events and fills in the missing pieces through telepathic communication with me.

I will often be in a mundane dream and be pulled out of it and put into one of these hyper real (or as one of the readers here described it, HD style) dreams.

Psychological dreams:

They are often fragmented and have emotions heavily tied to them. Anxiety dreams about being chased, or hurting someone or doing something shameful examples of this are: losing a tooth dreams, back to school nightmares, having to take a test and being unprepared, being chased, dreams of death or dying, hospital dreams, hopefully you can see the trend here.

They are often either colorless, black and white or the color is not memorable. The dreams are often not that memorable either.

Dreams that repeat. If you have a dream over and over again, chances are very good its psychological and not a premonition. The reason it repeats is because you aren’t getting the message. If you spend the time to try to figure it out, the dream should go away. Usually, repetitive dreams are more common in children – so if your kid keeps having the same dream, try to listen to them and figure out what the symbols mean to him/her and also what emotions are at play, then have a talk with your child about your interpretation and let them help you figure it out. After that fix the problem as best you can and help the child deal with his/her feelings about the deeper anxiety that is causing the dream.

Hope this helps and encourages you to participate in the universal dream journal experiment here on my blog.

Also I’d like to reprint something that Buddha Dreamer wrote in a comment and also answer a question about UVB rays while I’m in the blogging mode:

Hullo Denise, You remember my previous post, where I spoke about the global crisis, etc, and its effects. First class detective work on this one, auto-immune diseases are becoming an epidemic.
Not only that, let me tell you a secret. A prominent environmental journalist I know in uk went to greenland, a couple of years back. He was horrified to be told that the population has almost completely stopped producing boy babies, only girls, and that the men have fertility problems.

This is because the weather system of th vast swirling vortex of the weather factory around the poles, concentrates all the environmental pollution in the northen hemisphere there. So they are the first to get what will be a wide spread collapse of trh male birth rate.

Male fertility in western industrial countries has also dropped 40% in 30 years. what a disaster. You will see this spread, slowly southwards, as things get worse. We have gone beyond one of the so-called tipping points, on this one
Scientists can see no way out
at the moment.

I did hear a report on NPR that exactly about this subject and it freaked me out! I didn’t remember the exact statistics and it was several years ago. I’d nearly forgotten about it. But yes, I’d heard that male fertility rates were dropping. I’m glad Buddha Dreamer brought it up because it is another bizarre effect of climate change/environmental contamination that I’d forgotten.

And to answer a reader who asked how to protect from UVB rays: Just check the sunscreen you buy. In the past several years most manufacturers have added an agent that blocks UVB rays as well, but not all. And I believe (but I’m not 100% sure about this) the rating of sunscreen protection is based only on the UVA blockage so I suppose doing some research on whatever sunscreen product you buy would be in order as well.

Best wishes – keep praying, it’s helping,

Many blessings,

Denise

The Mathmatical Formula that Shattered the Global Economy

http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine/17-03/wp_quant?currentPage=all
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copula_(statistics)

Above are some links to the math that has brought our world to its knees. And to think I used to fall asleep in junior high school algebra. 

Perhaps you, like me, heard reference to this formula on NPR or various other news outlets. After looking at it, I wonder if any of the bankers had even the slightest clue about it, let alone applying it to anything tangible.

So here’s my lame math formula. All based on the simple geometry:

The one guy gets more than a third (33.4 %) of the whole pie while the 9 people share almost a third (28%). So lets be clear here, 10% of wealthy Americans control 61.4% of all the wealth. And just 1% of the wealthy control more than a third. while 40% of Americans make it sharing just over a third of the wealth at 38.6 %. And the rest, half of the country, 50% of us live in abject poverty.

 

This was before the market crash. I’m sure there are more people who have fallen into the abject poverty pile since then.

 

I have a simple question to ask to those who subscribe to unbridled free market capitalism and the notion of those who work hardest are rewarded with the most money. Firstly, that one guy controlling more than a third of the pie, does he really work harder than the equivalent of 150,000,000 Americans put together. Because man if he does, he’d have to be God as working that many hours would mean he not only never slept, but also had an army of clones.

 

And if one wants to make the argument that somehow that guy has provided some service or great work that entitles him/her to more pie than they could ever eat in one lifetime while half the people around them starve, I ask, did that person cure cancer, Aids and save our planet from a deluge of asteroids? Because there is nothing that anyone who has such ungodly amounts of money has done that warrants the pie being that lopsided.

 

Take for example Bill Gates. He stole the idea for Windows from two inventors who stole the idea for the operating system from the way Macs worked. Gates literally bought their program for something like 500 bucks and then turned around and sold it to IBM for millions or billions, whatever. Did (or does) he deserve to control that much of the world’s resources because he was an unethical opportunist? Or even someone like Jim Carey, does he deserve 20 million dollars to make fart jokes in some lame half-baked movie? Does anyone really deserve to hog more resources than they can actually make use of?

 

And what does it say about people who choose this for themselves. I’m not saying people don’t have a right to be wealthy, be comfortable, and even be decadent and live uxorious ridiculously comfortable lives. But one doesn’t have to control that much of the wealth to do so. As a matter of fact if the pie was at least a little more evenly distributed, more people would have more and be more productive.

 

For example if everyone had enough money, to at least make their own pie, then there would be a constant flow of money, goods, services and new wealth for everyone to partake in. It would be exponential rather than a closed, fixed system where the poorest 50 percent cannot participate in the economy because they can barely afford the basic necessities of life.

 

Historically, our country has always done best financially when there was a strong, healthy middle class, like in the 1950s when a guy could work at a gas station as an attendant, buy his own home and support a wife and two kids. Or during the Clinton era when there was a huge boom in the middle class and new service orientated and luxury businesses sprung up due to the increased flow of money being funneled into the economy.

 

So why is it that Republicans hang onto this bizarre Ann Ryand philosophy of unhinged free market capitalism without restraint or regulation and the idea of the individual as purely and solely responsible for him/herself?

 

Well, let’s take a look at Ann Ryand. First off she was from Russia and had a knee jerk reaction to having grown up there. She was also a screenwriter and no offense here, but part of being a Hollywood screenwriter is being able to boil things down to very simple black and white arguments and ideas. There is no room for subtlety, complexity, and depth of character and layers of meaning in a 90-minute screenplay. The best one can hope for with a great movie is a clear well defined argument that makes you think about a situation in a new way.

 

Anyone who has read the Fountainhead can attest to the ridiculous modernist notion of special treatment for the super human, great genius who stands outside of normal human expectations (such as decency, compassion, human kindness, caring, being interested in things other than yourself) because of his great talent. She literally makes the case that some people should be above the law, above human decency and be lavished with an endless fountain of praise and support no matter how socially retarded, because they are intrinsically better than everyone else.

 

Hmmm, what does this sound like?

 

Oh, yeah, Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

 

Funny she lived here in the land of NPD (Hollywood). And there in lies the key. There seems to be a fundamental personality dysfunction which is attracted to this (conservative often Republican) model. One that feels the need to be better than everyone else, to be treated specially and has to have other people suffering so they can feel good about themselves. Upon closer inspection the conservative movement seems to be less motivated by an ideology than a mental illness – what I used to deem “Mad Squirrel disease” where an individual can never have enough and constantly seeks out more and more nuts to add to their storehouse despite the fact that they will never be able to physically use all of what they have acquired.

 

After studying psychology I realized this was a character trait of Narcissism. Our culture has promoted it. Wall Street was immersed in the darkest part of this mental illness. I wish these people would spend their money getting therapy and get out of the way of change. They spin empathy and humanitarianism into socialism and communism. They turn the notion of helping people who are losing their homes into something akin to a welfare state, but yet, for them, the special few, they not only have their hands out, but their pockets, their buckets, their private jets and anything else they can cram taxpayer dollars into under the guise of “saving jobs.” When they say that I think they mean, saving the jobs of the captains of their private jets, not the 10,000 jobs they are shipping to India because they don’t want to pay a living wage or give their employees healthcare.

 

I had a friend one time who drove an old green VW Bug. She happened to be driving it around the Silicon Valley in a very wealthy area. This guy in a Mercedes was offended by how carefully and slowly she was going, not and yelled at her, “Peasant!” I think that says it all.

 

When it comes to how these people feel about themselves and the way they see everyone else. They appear to be living in feudal Europe during the dark ages. Sad for us they are not actually living back then, but are just imposing these unconscionable notions on the rest of us.

 

Best wishes and many blessings to all you good people,

Denise 

P.S. I will announce the winners soon. And have you noticed on the Myers Briggs poll almost no extraverts. I’m guessing this is because extraverts are not very interested in taking personality tests. 

Don’t forget to vote in the poll if you know your Myers Briggs type or your Enneagram type.
