'Know thyself' is NOT the same as 'Change thyself' and somehow, people have confused the two. <BR/><BR/>I believe, however, that much of this media and marketing propaganda is based on the simple need to make a profit. 'Know thyself' requires no consumer goods... 'Change thyself' is a treasure trove in terms of consumerism.Freyashawkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00379748386863454385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-52497770158516262052007-03-05T08:20:00.000-05:002007-03-05T08:20:00.000-05:00the land of happy endings.america has been burdene...the land of happy endings.<BR/><BR/>america has been burdened to produce that before.<BR/><BR/>as a facilitator in people`s quest for what they believe is happiness, i sit like the spider in a web, waiting for them to tangle themselves in thier ego-driven syntax until they tire.<BR/><BR/>only then do we begin to speak of love.<BR/><BR/>self-loathing?<BR/><BR/>we learn that at an early age.<BR/><BR/>to lay blame is redundant.<BR/><BR/>re-programming is the key.<BR/><BR/>the stimulus-response cycle lies deep in the synaptic process.<BR/><BR/>thankfully there are systems in the brain that can accomodate new tasking even at an advanced age.<BR/><BR/>mirror neurons are capable of learning new tasks at the unconscious level, as emile coue discovered.<BR/><BR/>as pink ginger says....<BR/><BR/>we must work on it every day.Dr.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308832220555479141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-18499575672745661792007-03-04T10:58:00.000-05:002007-03-04T10:58:00.000-05:00Thanks, all, for your comments.It may be that a lo...Thanks, all, for your comments.<BR/><BR/>It may be that a lot of people look to the U.S. as the land of happy endings, but I don't know how much longer that can continue.Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11134828658060646685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-18571235151490275682007-03-04T07:56:00.000-05:002007-03-04T07:56:00.000-05:00I immediately thought of Freud too.

It's been said that his innate pessimism was out of tune with the American culture which wanted to put a positive spin on psychotherapy, in line with its national philosophy, clearly traceable to successive waves of hope-inspired immigrants: "You can succeed!"<BR/><BR/>The slogan is not so much a truth but a sales slogan and America has laboured to produce psychoanalytic philosophies which offer happy endings.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7677178247300264142.post-30456351352569826832007-03-03T18:44:00.000-05:002007-03-03T18:44:00.000-05:00There are some people, like myself, that can read ...There are some people, like myself, that can read their horrible scope and see themselves almost to the letter. Amazing. I read in one persons interpretation that my Zodiac sign is such that I would never get along or do well with a boss who was dumber than me. I paid a huge price to stay working with that company. But happy that I chose to start my own company. Zodiacs are truly strong indicators on personality traits.
