"Such judgments are very simplistic, and ignore the great range of human motivation and experience. If you are bound and determined that "GOD" creates only "good", then any physical deficiency, illness or deformity becomes an affront to your belief, threatens it, and makes you angry and resentful. If you become ill you can hate yourself for not being what you think you should be — a perfect physical image made in the likeness of [...]
Seth on the similarities between Christianity & Buddhism "Now you may believe in the theories of Buddhism, for example, or of another Eastern philosophy. The differences between any of those systems of thought and Christianity may be so apparent that the similarities escape you. You may follow one of the schools of Buddhism in which great stress is laid upon the denial of the body, discipline of the flesh, and the avoidance of desire. These [...]
Seth on Creative Aggression The following are excerpts from Chapter 10 & 11 of: The Nature of Personal Reality "A dream may be purposely experienced to provide an outlet of a kind that is missing in your daily life." "Dreams of a strongly aggressive nature in this context may be very beneficial to a given individual, allowing the release of usually inhibited feelings and freeing the body from tension." "The schools of "positive thinking" try to remedy the situation, but often [...]
Seth on justifying existence via insecurity "The same artificial need to vindicate being is present in many of my readers, and various core beliefs may be built up to hide this inner insecurity.

This post will outline strategies on how to prepare for what is likely to come based on a model of inflation.

Non-Evaluative Listening "We can achieve real communication and avoid this evaluative tendency when we listen with understanding. This means seeing the expressed idea and attitude from the other person’s point of view, sensing how it feels to the person, achieving his or her frame of reference about the subject being discussed. This may sound absurdly simple, but it is not. In fact, it is an extremely potent approach in psychotherapy. It is the most effective [...]
I have been doing a lot of research on investing and finance lately and have come across a lot of information that is extremely concerning and shocking. The global economy is in much worse shape than I had originally thought and Canada while regarded as a safer place than the USA appears to be in just as bad fiscal shape!
