Reaching Up "Don't Ask for Freedom" by Dr. Jim Rosen ©2022 Dr. Jim Rosen "Why do other people control me? Why don't they let me be myself?" Susan was actually talking about her relationship with Bob when she asked these questions. She felt powerless when it came to Bob. The reason? Susan had learned to verbally assert herself, but she didn't have much experience in the follow-through. She didn't take the necessary actions to back up her words. The solution? Susan needs to begin by asking the right question: "How can I take control of my own life?" Clearly, Bob is being controlling, but Susan is allowing it. When her actions are submissive or absent, her assertive words have no power. Freedom requires self-determined action. It can't be given to her; it must be taken - the way a child takes freedom when she walks away from her parents to explore her new world. Susan will be free when her actions say, "I am the best judge of what is right for me." Dr. Jim Rosen is a PhD Clinical Psychologist.

I find the sudden tempo changes in some of their songs to be simply hilarious.

Reaching Up "Speak Softly & Forget the Big Stick" by Dr. Jim Rosen ©2022 Dr. Jim Rosen Your words are tools that you use, but they can be tools of strength or tools of weakness. If you say your words softly and gently but with conviction, you communicate power and strength. If instead you use volume or harshness, your words communicate stress and weakness. Consider two simple sentences: "Here is what I'm going to do," and "Here is what I believe." When spoken softly and without backing down, these are powerful assertions. Consider the words please and thank you. "Please" is soft, inviting and hard to resist. It moves people to action and implies that something is needed now. "Thank you" acknowledges and notices and rewards the other person. It tends to guarantee that the same action will be repeated. According to Lao-Tse, "In this world there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal." Dr. Jim Rosen is a PhD Clinical Psychologist.

Just ordered a book written by Rina Hands. I’m kinda excited about it. I’ll just paste a couple of the reviews on it for explanation. This book gives a priviliged view of the way Gurdjieff taught in his last year. There was a reading, usually from Beelzebub, and a supper with the toasts to the Idiots on most of these days. He also worked on the Movements, the 39 series, later written by Thomas de Hartmann and now recorded by Wim van Dullemen. A good part of Rina Hands' book describes the readings and the meals and her attempts to understand what the meaning of it all was. Madame de Salzmann had by this time taken the role of the 'successor' and plays a major role, which Gurdjieff still dominates and passes his food to others at the table. Some interesting observations on the science of the Idiots are observed, together with 'I am' as a practice. Recommended reading for an insight into the late Gurdjieff. Did he speak perfect English when Rina Hands had her private meeting with him? Five Stars Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2016 Very good introduction for the understanding of the ritual and of the scale of the 21 types of Idiots.

IMO- This guy has the heart of a good veterinarian. IMO- This is what Love looks like. It displays courage and isn’t paralyzed with fear. It seems impersonal. It acts deliberately and does so with a certain kind of intelligence.

I'm not selling anything. If I could, I would maybe charge rent or maybe take donations but I don't think thats allowed here. I would go to Patreon maybe If I were to try. I doubt that I could make anything off my wild imaginative conjectures, speculations, opinions, political commentary or any of this potential horseshit that I type out sporadically. If you don't want to read it. Don't read it. It's a mixed bag here in the Journal part of the forum. I enjoy reading a few Journals and there are a few I don't really pay much attention to. Some others I read every now and then. I've been an annoyance to some off and on and I wish it wasn't that way. To those I've offended I didn't intend to. With the exception of ardent Trump supporters but I really don't care about their opinions. I realize that's fairly arrogant but I'm trying to keep observing my arrogance when it crops up. What do you expect from an Idiot? I consider no one an enemy though. I've made some friends here as well. If I have offended anyone on anything other than my badmouthing Trump I will just say that I welcome PM anytime to discuss things and to hear other viewpoints. I continue to observe my moodiness and the emotional rollercoaster do whatever it does. My Diet is nearly just pure junk and I don't care. I don't exercise at all but instead work my ass of on practical projects and chores. Why act like some hamster on a wheel? That's boring. Some peole enjoy it though and that doesn't bother me at at. No doubt it helps a persons balance. My book reading has gone to shit in the last four years but that doesn't really bother me all that much either. Its likely that I'll really get into books every now and then but maybe not. There is so much on youtube these days. That's one reason. There are other reasons too. I haven't got near the "spiritual ego" that I used to have but it would be foolish of me to say it's completely vanished.

Life IS like a box of chocolates. Pondering the Hillary clip that Russell Brand put up and commented on. It's just difficult for me to believe that politically savvy people like the Clintons could do something so stupid as to release such a phony ass piece of political strategy the way it seemed to be. And the money tied to the defence industry still blatently churning turds and billions of $ with propaganda while waving the flag like good patriotic americans,,, WTF,,,, I guess the voting Mericans that are still voting are still just as dumb as a box of rocks. Both so called progressives and the remaining Trump chumps. Out of neccessity I need to once again ignore news and politics to free myself of that awful cynicism that crops up when pondering all this malarky. Mass Media is just poison,,,, and it makes me sad.

As a Zigzag Idiot I most often sometimes do the worst wrong thing exactly at the right wrong time. Then turn around and do the right thing at exactly the wrong time. I don't dare say all I know.

As a self proclaimed Idiot, cheeks blushed with shame, I will now cheapen myself to comment on possible presidential Political candidates in 2024 No No No No Hillary PLease don't do it No No No No Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong Bad BAd Bad bad BadBAD No NO NO NO This would just get that criminal moron 5 pump chump TRump elected again No more Billary ,,,, No more President moron 5 pump chump Trump 3 am politics This hurts me more than it hurts you

Living wholeheartedly takes balance. Human beings are so unique and so what element is right for some might be wrong for others. If the timing of the elements in their life are off its because they are listening to others when they should be listening to their own inner truth. Then throw in the wild card of self deception along with being too identified. Just these factors alone can create a plutonium confusion resulting in producing a candidate for the lunatic asylum or i.e., a miserable daughter or son of a bitch. Elements are one thing but centers of energy are another. If it was said that a human being had 3 centers of energy or was a 3 brained being that might it make it a little more confusing. But to make it more confusing so that one has to cypher it out the way Jethro Bodine would say it would be just the way to make it just right to illustrate and begin the articulation of the importance of the ability to think for yourself but to not think too much because feeling from the heart and sensing of the body are needed to but it is of course not that simple as if it were just a pimple. That 1+1+1 is 3 and that 3+1+1=5 is almost right but almost wrong but it doesn't mean a damn thing if you don't know what the 1's represent and even if you did you would probobly never cypher it out anyway so going that route would mean that you may as well put your head down between your legs and if you're not a man or woman from nantucket you can neither kiss your ass goodbye either. This is a good example of the value of most of the forums value to oneself if you were to go by it alone. If you do nothing else than to watch Leo's videos all the time and nothing else you would get would be of more value than a wood chuck who could chuck wood and do it good as a wood chuck who could really chuck wood and do it real good. But if you also want to express yourself in YouTube videos would be good too because when you put yourself out there again and again it means that you are sincerely trying and you will get it so wrong sometimes and get it so right some other times and this alone will keep you in the game of cyphering it out enough that eventually you will get it just right because this message may not be the right message for everyone its just that this is what I felt when I encouraged someone that I liked and felt was so honest and sincere that I want to say that you are more loved by others than you will ever know or realize that I am not trying to flirt with you or bust a marriage or ask you to go riding in a horse drawn carriage. I'm just saying I hope you are enjoying life and truly learning how to forgive and love yourself to the degree as you now can see how much as everyone else out in the world is so selfish and self absorbed that they are not really willing to put themselves out there the way you and Leo do. But I get so obsessed with almost every pretty woman that I see or meet and that women in general are so fascinating to me that I don't understand whats wrong with being a troll or a stalker because thats what everyone does when they are infatuated with someone. That's also to say that I'm like the others that I do not know what is right for others and that maybe sometimes I do but I will never say I DO because marriage is an institution and who the hell wants to live in an institution when I know that I'm just a shmoo and a shmoe and will always be a Ho and a stroke-slut too and that's just why I have bad eyesight too just like that ole Mr. Magoo. But one should never impose their will on anybody and be a placeholder for others especially the one's who are the most innocent of all. Let them learn at their own pace. This is how the Astral beings sing their songs and sometimes its Just so right but it can also be oh so wrong if the timing is wrong but when they get it right or kinda pretty much right they say with just the right emphasis and timing so it ends the song just right they simply say HAAAAVE AAAA GREAAAT DAAYYYY and HAVE A GOOD TIME.

Wake up and get out of bed and then during the morning a little later wake up again and leap out of you're grave and stay awake through the day. By being deliberate in everything that you do regardless if you are just a shmuck or a shmoo. You will be wasting time if you go around seeking merit acting like you are a carrot part of the stick and carrot routine. You are just being a funky version of being mean. That's for those who it seems are always looking back over their shoulder trying to see the effects on others being wowed by a soldier or a boulder or a cock or a dick or hot chick that is making all the others back there smoulder or getting older or maybe getting hard as a rock because they where now flaming hot as a tamale and starting to fiddle with their stick or their lolly trigger which is getting swollen because they have just seen a sight and a light that was so godamn bright it made them feel like time had just stood still. Cause if you're always looking back and seeking merit you are a carrot like a hot chick or a rock hard dick but you are just a house proud town mouse who is always seeking a spouse. But if you are seeking a spouse that's okay whether you are straight or gay or mickey mouse who is also a house proud town mouse. Just do that sincerely in your own way. The point is going around seeking merit or being self condradulatory and others think are just maybe a little boring. It doesn't even matter if they are so impressed with your brand new dress or your handsome vest you might as well always be living solely in a nest or a cave and that maybe you are really not so daring or so brave as you think you are that's okay because none of us really are even if we have a brand new flashy car. Just put your hand to the plow and don't look back at what others think because thinking too much is a human condition called obsession. Don't think too much and live your life wholeheartedly and everything will then come to you.,,,,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,

Reaching Up "Finding Peace and Beauty in the World" by Dr. Jim Rosen ©2022 Dr. Jim Rosen I would like to share a poem with you that my father wrote when he was in his mid-20s. I believe the words are relevant to our times. Paradox Are not peace and beauty words to please the ears, Their reverberations echo through the years, The paradox of beauty and of peace is found In that they flourish underneath the sound Of strife and in the ugly things of life.

Still haven't recovered my google account. Haven't bought another I-phone either. With no phone it's difficult to recover my google account. For me anyway,,. I'm grateful to have my Subaru going again. I always enjoy listening to Ram Dass. Listened to this one early this morning.- Was tickled earlier this evening remembering how Terence Mckenna described himself in his youth as a hell-on-wheels science fair competitor,,, I'm sitting here on my bed. Sleepy and a bit dull witted. Time to catch some zzzz's,,,

I suspect that Mercury may be in retrograde. Not only did my titty picture machine crash but my I-phone bit the dust as well. If you're a Hopeless Idiot with severe computer technological handicaps, it's quite difficult to accomplish anything. Especially when not only not having a phone plus the most Holy sacred titty picture machine crashes and some rats disable my Subaru by chewing into a wire harness which requires a time consuming dismantling of engine components to reach the forementioned wire harness and then patch it and then diagnose the problems caused by the chewed through wire which shorted out the camshaft sensor which had to be ordered and then after waiting a week for the wrong one to come in and then order another which takes two days longer and then after having replaced said part must then find the blown fuse and put all that shit back together,,,,,, and it finally starts!!! Then I can go into town and buy another titty picture machine (HP laptop) and having no phone to get a code to open my email I must create another email account on this new titty picture machine and I still have not gotten another I-phone or accessed my old email because I have no phone to get a code to get my old email opened up yet,,,,. That's why Dr. Rosen's weekly mini column wasn't posted a couple days ago. I can't say much about there being a moral to this story because I feel my own bullshit detector starting to go off when I begin to consider which I should not do because that is exactly what inner considering is but to instead ponder a bit while multitasking the with the task of being discerning which requires fulasnitamnian awareness and so I must go for now and catch up on some journal reading and to also say to others out there who are responsible while being practical with undertaking mundane tasks or repurposing something like an old van into a camper but that's not only all I have to say but the clock is ticking away so until later to those who are reading thank you so much for being yourself and by the wAAAyyy,, Have a great daAAAyyy,,,,

As an adolescent I was so green that I thought women never got horny. I just thought they were being kind or were maybe just trying to get approval because they had deep insecurities like myself. I was so shy and ashamed of masturbating in my early teens that I thought about committing suicide on more than one occasion when wondering if other people might know or find out that I did such a horrible thing. At 54, I’m a lot closer to my physical death now which changes how I feel about things and what I’m willing to express openly or somewhat openly. Masturbation turned out to be one of my strategies for distracting myself from an alcoholic indulgence early in life. It wasn’t enough though. I struggled with my alcoholism until I was 38 years old in 2005. I haven’t drank since and have lost all desire to do so. I never thought I would be free of the compulsion to drink and I am grateful for that. Despite contending with other addictions on my path. By the way, one other strategy for not drinking was to eat a good meal. The compulsion for drinking alcohol is much less on a full stomach. In AA years ago I learned the acronym - H.A.L T. It was said that if your an alcoholic, one must guard against getting hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Human beings evolved with having an outrageous sex drive which has made it possible for our species to survive all the diseases and catastrophes that has been there in our history. Many Religions shame people for their animal nature which effectively makes them more prone to manipulation. Sexually repressed people often get really twisted. Like all those Catholic priests who molest little boys. Or sexual repression results in chronic frustration and anger for others. The adrenal type in the endocrine typology, of which I am one, is the most oversexed of all types in our species which is in itself oversexed. Susan Zannos, in my opinion, author of one of the best books on this typology titled simply Human Types; Essence and the Enneagram made a statement concerning instinctive-moving adrenal type men. That they quite often have a certain ignoble habit or tendency,,,,. I’m not going to disparage the disciples of no fap. I know that there are many ways of living with many variables. The idea of sublimation of sexual energy makes sense to me but I could never pull it off. (No pun intended) I once thought in the fairly recent past that if masturbation had been somehow impossible throughout my life, I would probably have already murdered 3000 - 4000 people. So don’t let those forest fires of anger get out of control. Just do what olé Strokey the Bear cub says. Only you can prevent those forest fires of anger in this wilderness of life. Strokey the Bear cub is somewhat of a stroke-slut and a carefree Carebear and many would not even suspect it. It’s true that not everyone is going to heed his advice and that’s okay too. Have a good day.
