		<description>You become a psychologist yourself because you want to know what is happening to you. 

How do you proceed?

By asking questions and answering them yourself.

With regard to the innerwork of the Heart that is how you then get in touch with your inner child.

You talk with him/her all the time and you get answers you don&#039;t like at times however you can take it because it is a part of you.Interesting how another person saying the same thing might become obsolete yet when you do the work yourself it is okay and it gives you time to reflect.You understand then that Your inner child is there to give you  all the encouragement you need and that fuels your soul.Something that another individual possibly would not be able to fulfill because it is very demanding and you could not possibly ask that from somebody else.

Also you know that by doing this work, you are receiving the right answers that you were seeking because your inner child is a part of you and won&#039;t betray you and that is the most important factor.

and you take your cues from places that are going to benefit you...like Paulo and nature.

Thank you
With love

		<description>Dear Paulo

Thank you for having posted this article on Søren Kierkegård, which starts some very interesting thoughts and comments. I only wish that I would have been lead to your blog earlier. 

Love Sophia

&quot;Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.&quot;

&quot;Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we hurry past it.&quot;

- Søren Kierkegård</description>

		<description>Thanks for highlighting this article by Gordon Marino.  I read &quot;Sickness Unto Death&quot; five times. Crazy!  But I wanted to understand the rhythm of the book along with Kierkegaard&#039;s thoughts on despair.  After the fifth time I decided, the rhythms are powerful; Soren&#039;s analysis of the situation was fairly accurate; and his prescription appeared more and more unsettling with each reading.  The lack of faith leads to Soren&#039;s distinctions between true and false &quot;faith&quot; and leads to despair or unreflected despair.  Marino&#039;s article highlight&#039;s the shift in thinking around despair and depression that has occurred, namely the lack of serotonin. He also notes the lack of reflection correlated to the shift and the loss of balance.  We have developed a strong medical response.  I support his call forth more balanced reflection.  I believe there are these deep rhythms moving like waves through the various social systems that each of us encounter in our daily lives.  Reflecting upon these rhythms can lead to dark and silent places; they can also lead to places filled with joy, wonder, and celebration.  Attending to these rhythms can build up different aspects of your mind, body, and soul so that finally you can become a resource for others.  Finally, remember, it is the Ecclesiastes who councils &quot;For everything there is a season, and time for every matter under heaven . . . &quot;</description>

		<description>For me
from what I remember of Mr K. from school, his assertion that &#039;subjectivity is truth&#039; was &amp; still is profound, and I think is very important for today: when scientists who believe in their ideology, i.e.  that it IS truth - rather than a part of truth, or one, valid interpretation of &#039;what-is&#039;..
For actually, the phenomenon of experience, of more subtle, synchronous and intuitive convictions and lessons and observations, offer things which CANNOT BE OBJECTIFIED - &amp; should NOT be so.
Why is &#039;Reality&#039; ann outside thing!?
When the Buddha knew he was &#039;AWAKE&#039; it is one&#039;s own subjective reality self-shining, self-evident. No scientist or &#039;objectifitian&#039; could say &#039;well how do you know&#039; THat sort of Internal Presence is essentially ALL.</description>

		<description>I have a special place for Kierkegaard in my soul searching vocabulary; the leap of faith so clearly defined just as he realized the confusion and replacement with material hoarding and risk pursuits. Despair and longing. And perhaps even more importantly, the rebellion from patented, pay by installment salvation.</description>

		<description>Despair: the man who crossed his t&#039;s and dotted his i&#039;s, never missed a day of work, was faithful and loving and dedicated to his wife as she was to him; she was his happiness and he, her&#039;s and then she passed on just as they were beginning to retire and enjoy a new stage of their life together. That&#039;s despair lossing someone you love and being lonely.</description>

		<description>What an interesting story. I am glad that Sister Mary was cured. A miracle thank God. The religious have something special that helps them get through the tough times. They are cheerful and tough, the real religious are a special manifestation  of humanity.</description>

		<description>Dear Catherine,
here are some thoughts I wanted to write to you the whole day - I hope they have some meaning to you.

i guess, when we go deep into the ocean, we may forget how wide it is. when we are looking over the ocean we may not remember what is beneath its surface.

so when we go deep, we sometimes feel so lonely as we just don&#039;t see the ones going deep almost next to us... we only see the ones going deep with us.

being deep and telling somebody wide to come down is difficult - he sees the horizon ...
being wide is a beauty you like to share with others - especially with those who are deep, but they can not understand in that moment - they have there own beauty.


... being deep very often made me lonely - being lonely made me even deeper ... sometimes I find somebody to share, which is a miracle.

... at some point I decided that I don&#039;t want some gifts that came with being deep - for some gifts it worked, which made my life easier, but I regret a little... &quot;perhaps some day...&quot; I think - but for now, I need to integrate (puh... yes, exactly this - I guess I regret a little more ;-) - and still I feel I have a better chance for a new deep and beautyfull experience: being a father... )


I guess we should be able to feel the horizon while going deep - and we should know about the world beneath the ocean when looking at the beauty of the sunset at the horizont...

... only like that we have a chance talking in the same language with others who are deep or wide or both...

... I guess this will be quite a challenge for the next years in my life...

Love,
bernd</description>

		<description>Kierkegaard - I think - dedicated all his life to learn more and to get rid of his despair (depression) philosofically. Little did the poor guy know that mental illness can be cured by the intillect - that it&#039;s a matter of innerwork of the Heart. Much love</description>

Little did he knew &#8211; poor guy &#8211; that mental illnesses can&#8217;t be solved by the brain, but by innerwork of the Heart. Much love</p>

		<description>Thank you for your words Monika!
Yes you are so wright. It is just that sometimes little things like this one get underestimated. This is why we need people around to help us remember even about such things.

thank you again and may God bless you too!</description>

		<description>I understand your point dear Monica, but I just can&#039;t feel ok if I just take it from the surface. I could never find peace like that. It is my nature. Especially when it is a matter of philosophy, physiology, etc. I just love them. Anyway, if there is one thing that I&#039;ve learned about philosophy is that the person who gives his statements, mean just only thing, just one, even though it might be interpreted in many ways.
I can give as example the BIBLE. I don&#039;t know which is your religion, but I am christian and I can see everyday the different ways it is interpreted by different peoples. Once a teacher of mine sad :
Every time that I read the same statements in the BIBLE I find new meanings that I&#039;ve never noticed before. And she was relating that to her own life experience, since she is old enough. I know that till the day she&#039;ll die, she&#039;s gonna find something new on those words. Now the BIBLE maybe an example a bit too BIG, but still there is a lot of philosophy in it, and since each word in there is very meaningful, we might get lost into their meanings.
Nor I can pretend to be that wise as to seize that easily the main meaning of those statements, but I just know that I want to very hard.

As a student for translation, I&#039;ve learned that for being able to give a correct interpretation or translation of the author&#039;s words I must be able to &quot;be inside of his own skin&quot;, so I&#039;ll bring his message, and not his words, as correctly as possible. But if can&#039;t understand his words aether...
I just want to be under Kiekegaard&#039;s skin so I&#039;ll know what he meant.

Anyway thank you Monika for your reply.</description>

		<description>Thank you Thelma.  I have known and heard of many in my environment who took their lifes ... under the power of despair and the effect of the depression symptoms.  I held groups for those persons and transmit what helped me go through.  You know, the beauty of it all is realizing that what before was dark becomes a light for others, that I have richness to share to those who have a similar experience.  Love, Jojo.</description>

		<description>Theresa, I understood clearly that your comment related to a matter pertaining to physical, and this is why I wrote that I respected and that way understood your view.  That brought me to the point that depression and despair is to be seen from a personal point of view, related to individual life and personal burdens to go through.  I am truly touched by what you are going through and admire you.  Like I say to many, we arrive alone and depart alone and in between have a personal journey, our personal road and on that road we have relations to help us understand, heal, etc in order to be who we are totally and freely ...  With affection, Jojo.</description>

		<description>Thinking about depression, despair and miracles (Paulo&#039;s forum topic last week)... recalled a story that I shared with a friend not long ago.

I&#039;m not Catholic, but as a foster child at age 16, lived with a priest and 3 nuns for a while. At first there were only 2 nuns; Sister Eleanor and Sister Mary. I LOVED THEM. Sister Eleanor was the youngest. She had the patience of a saint and that came in handy with me around. 

One day, I decided to help in the kitchen, by running all the dishes through the dishwasher. And there was no dishwasher detergent. So, I used dish soap, then went off to do something else. And that&#039;s how there got to be suds and bubbles blowing all over the kitchen. About 20 minutes later, heard Sister Eleanor laughing and ran to see what was funny. There were tears rolling down her cheeks and she wasn&#039;t even a little cross!! 

Sister Mary was the oldest nun and was gentle, but more serious. She had MS (Multiple Sclerosis). Life was a little more difficult for her, so she appreciated us being her legs : ) 

After a couple of months, Sister Helen arrived, toting an acoustic guitar!!!!!!!! She sang like an angel too, and I would beg her to play. One day, I awoke to her playing and singing &#039;rise and shine&#039; to me, so I jumped out of bed, followed her singing, and we went to awaken Sister Eleanor, then the rest. A Best Day Ever. Then, she taught me the St Francis hymn and then we went to sing it for a ceremony in Church, for some new nuns.

A few months after I was gone and living in another city, the Father came to pick me up to come for a visit. He said &#039;just wait until you see&#039;.... got there, and the atmosphere was strange, could sense something was up, but unable to read his emotions well enough to tell if the surprise was a happy, or a sad one. I walked to the family room and saw right away that Sister Mary&#039;s wheelchair ramp was GONE. Oh dear..........
a few minutes later, someone shouted &#039;OKAY!!&#039; and out came Sister Mary, WALKING all by herself. She had gone to Lourdes and was healed. Still a bit wobbly, but not even using a cane. 

Much Love to All, Jane : ) xo</description>

		<description>Thanks Jane - 
I have to admit, hearing you went through something similar at age 15 gives hope that there is a &#039;light at the end of the tunnel&#039; ;o) x</description>

		<description>Someone&#039;s comment triggered a recall of the entire issue as I experienced it...
that these &#039;kind&#039; of issues are so DEEP.

I recalled the feeling when growing up.. of being isolated... because most of life around was superficial communication; yet I had and was going through something very .. DEEP.
Social dialogues rarely enter into the deep... and when doing so tred lightly or carefully. It is as if the deep is a forbidden realm for breaching... that rather, we should exist as if superficial: that this would be better and healthier/happier for us all.
Why/How is this so?
I was made to feel so bad, so inadequate when young - just for being ... DEEP. [&quot;Try not to be so sensitive&quot; etc]. But this depth never has left me... it still has validity.

		<description>u have highlighted a good point, i too read somewhere sometime ago that amongst professionals, the highest suicide rate is amongst  psychiatrists ! surprising but not really, trying to understand self, spirit, trying ot be spiritual without being religious is ......dangerous, it can lead to depression and suicide !

		<description>It would be a good time to buy if you are paying in cash maybe, but the reality is most of the places that are good buys are impossible to get a loan for because they are not at least 50% owner occupied or have other issues. I just had a measely $60,000 condo under contract only to find out just before closing that it is “unwarrantable” due to it being only about 35% owner occupied. No FHA, No conventional, no nothing. I asked what alternative methods of financing were there. They told me none. The worst part is that it’s a catch 22. Since banks won’t do loans on these condos, that leaves only cash investors who are going to rent them out, thus further reducing the number of owner occupied units while at the same time “ghettoizing” the complexes with rental tenants.

    If anybody knows a way for a regular 1st time homebuyer (who just wants to buy a place to live in) to get past this hurdle feel free to email me.</description>
