MR BILL-96 year old Bar B Q Pitt master. He is an uncommon man that has made peace with it all. He might lie a little bit to make up a good story but you will never feel cheated. He will only post when he is asked a question. He smells like smoke and plays solitary when not lying

The Learning Series Series-Cultural Psychology


Educational Series pick of the week

We all have our illusions of the truth, and the layering of bias we share in our cultures create the psychological foundations of our thinking. Evo Lumin's post on cultural thinking should give us pause...

Ego
Evo Lumin
According to cultural philosophers, Westerners and East Asians have had contrasting views about the concept of truth and how it works for thousands of years — and it shows up in present-day psychology.

It all goes back to the cradles of two civilizations: ancient Greece and ancient China.

It comes down to two different "laws":

• The Greeks followed the "law of the excluded middle," which states that if two people are debating, then one of them must be exclusively right and the other exclusively ...

The Learning Series-In Brain Trends

Dr Ego Prozac shared Sophia Shakti's post with you.

Thought is more demanding and needs training in awareness...

Sophia Shakti
In 1996 the research by LeDoux clearly demonstrated that the unconscious emotion runs the show of human cognition. Kahneman names it system 1. In spite of all the research, the CBT is the main modality. We are built up from the bottom up, our brain machinery determines in many ways what we will do. Looks like the marketing knows and uses it very well, forgetting the "unethical". The cognition, the real thought is more demanding and needs training in awareness and education. To come to understand...

Stopped To Ponder Series-*Thoughts Are Things*


Dr Ego Prozac shared Steve Ross's post with you. Since this is the first post in the Ponder Series, I thought it appropriate to begin with thoughts...we don't give much thought to what we are thinking, but you know it is not a bad idea from time to time.

Steve is co-founder of World Research Foundation. They have an unbelievable library of anything alternative for over 300 illnesses. He has a web site www.andnothinghappened.com.  All of his post are thought provoking...Ego

Thoughts Are Things

Thoughts are very real things and have as much of an identity as any other matter that is visible to the naked eye.

P.P. Quimby (1802-1866) stated that “ideas contain life and may be transmitted to another intentionally or unintentionally.  It these ideas contain seeds of fear, they agitate the mind, disturb the senses and produce chemical changes in the fluids of the human system.”

Quimby, who was the father of the New Thought Movement in the United States, shared that when you...

Sound of Mind Series-just be human


Dr Ego Prozac shared Dorothy Lin's post with you. I want to introduce you Dorothy Lin, a compelling young writer. She writes about the things in her life that have meaning to her and does it in a way that you say to yourself, why can't I write like that? She will be part of our Sound of Mind Series. Look for more...
Dorothy Lin
Just be human

It’s interesting that there are people I instantly like, and I like them unconditionally – it doesn’t matter whether I agree with them or not; while there are some people I just don’t like, no matter how moral or worthy they appear.

I don’t have to ponder this for long, before I know the reason – the former are genuine human beings who are true to themselves and others; the latter are self-righteous people who pretend to be Buddha.

This Zen koan vividly presents these two utterly different...

Front Porch Psychology-Perturbations


Bumps is our mind, creates dis-ease in our cells. Our cells react in two ways...
growth or protection. At the cellular level, the preference to survive trumps all
others , which is true for all living things. Our task is to make the distinction
between the two...our choice is to choose the behavior that is appropriate for the  moment.
Always remember to limit the dis-ease

Take care of your future!

Stopped To Ponder Series-The story of Ego's

Why are we so afraid of it all...

Our mind is not our brain. We actually have two minds, one is habitual and the other volitional. The habitual controls 98% of our day. Maybe a little more if we could measure that kind of stuff. It is developed by our evolutional time, culture, DNA, experiences, environment, etc.. The habitual mind sets our beliefs, values and the frequency, intensity and duration of emoting in your limbic system. It forms the psychological illusion of who we think we are, that will help protect the beliefs of the habitual mind.

Through the attachment of awareness, a second Mind can be formed.  It is the volitional. It helps develop our psychological immune system and protects us from ourself. It requires mental attention and a lot of self grace along the way.

At some point along our journey, the bud may become a flower and Ego will fear no longer, releasing us from the shackles of cause and effect...

One is the Lotus roots and the other the flower...

Make peace with yourself.
