we think too much and we feel too little

 We are not machines!

.

.

Nope, we are not robots.

.

.

Do you feel safe revealing any or all of your needs to someone? Think about that… because… most of us have some shame about having needs in the first place. If you didn’t know that… sure enough, it’s true. In fact, often, we need the shame to get up motivation. We too easily judge ourselves as needy and we need shame to get going. 

So on goes the mask of self-reliance in a futile attempt to protect ourselves from any anticipated rejection or disagreement and thus, we isolate and this only weakens our spirit and bolsters self-will. The strategy is self-defeating, creating disassociation from ourselves and disconnection from others. Actually, that isn’t healthy. 

Shame and guilt are painful… trust is freeing. Its a really good idea to have some compassionate people around. For example, to help get the road blocks to good mental health and meeting of needs flowing. Here is a list that puts into perspective what a healthy person may be getting and a shamed person is possibly missing.

.

Basic Interpersonal Needs

Respect/Consideration
Recognition/Acknowledgment
Appreciation/Validation/Confirmation
Acceptance/Approval/Tolerance
Communication/Information/Feedback
Understanding/Clarity
Connection/Mutuality/Closeness/Intimacy
Friendship/Partnership/Companionship
Community/Affiliation/Belonging
Compassion/Empathy
Support/Nurturing/Comfort/Reassurance
Inclusion/Participation/Contribution
Cooperation/Collaboration
Choice/Autonomy/Freedom
Safety/Security/Protection
Stability/Consistency/Reliability/Predictability
Sensuality/Sexuality
Caring/Warmth/Affection/Love

.

Take a break from thinking and toughing it out alone; get together with a compassionate friend, spouse, relation, etc… you aren’t a robot. We all need to express our feelings. Solving problems when we have unmet needs is very much more unlikely because we just don’t perform well under stress of unmet needs. Inadequacy in one or more of the above mentioned needs is NORMAL — absolutely normal. Develop good friendships and trusting relationships and your health and well-being will improve. I know about this… I was a needy man with a self-sufficient mask over my feelings for too many years. Thankfully, I have good friends and I am much healthier as a result.

Oompa-Loompas of Science… the big bang

The Big Bang Theory

.

Creation began perhaps 14 billion years ago. Most scientist believe that it was caused by an explosion or expansion of a condensed kernel of energy as it has been called; a condensed particle of sub-atomic substance that somehow managed to become the entire universe even though it was smaller than an atom. Actually, there is some evidence that originates from the premise of the Big Bang (Theory). The useful Big Bang evidence is based on red-shift evidence of light that the universe is expanding — evidence that is 13.7 or more billions of years old. The red-shift of light that we see indicates that light is speeding away from the center of the universe. In other words, space between objects giving off light is increasing. Okay for the speeding part by me… on average light travel is nearly 300 million kilometers per second (671,000,000 mph)… very speedy, indeed. Even galaxies are traveling very rapidly — roughly 400 kilometers per second (900,000 mph).

Mathematically, the density of matter (a singularity its called) at the heart of a black hole is infinitely massive in infinity-no-space… okay, here is where physics is bonkers and why I say the big bang is a theory as silly as the TV show. There is no way that every particle of matter can fit into nothing… nah. Even the mathematicians roll their eyes… physicists do as well. Its cr-Azy. Matter in source is not mater then. This means nothing to us in the universe but matter did not come from nothing. That is absurd as well to believe.

The light and speeds are observable and even though physics has problems with measuring positions and speeds at the same time, there is physical evidence that supports the mathematics. There are problems there too though. 

I’m betting that ancient wisdom eventually prevails…
there are so many articles, but here is one you probably
didn’t read yet:
http://www.stephen-knapp.com/another_creation_theory_bites_the_dust.htm 

Its probably no better than most; it just happened to fit.

I’m wondering if it all started with a theme song

Okay, I’m silly here… but really, a big bang – Nothing is everything ? ? ? ?

Did someone change the equations?

In astrophysics and cosmology, the anthropic principle (from Greek anthropos, meaning “human”) is the philosophical consideration that observations of the physical Universe must be compatible with the conscious life that observes it. Some proponents of the anthropic principle reason that it explains why the Universe has the age and the fundamental physical constants necessary to accommodate conscious life. As a result, they believe it is unremarkable that the universe’s fundamental constants happen to fall within the narrow range thought to be compatible with life.

Jokes on: Getting into Heaven

Tags

cartoon, funny, joke, video

.

The day finally arrives: Forrest Gump dies and goes to heaven. He is met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. The gates are closed however, as Forrest approaches the gatekeeper. St. Peter says, “Well Forrest, it’s certainly good to see you. We have heard a lot about you. I must inform you that the place is filling up fast, and we’ve been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The tests are fairly short, but you need to pass before you can get into Heaven.”

Forrest responds “It shore is good to be here St. Peter. I was looking forward to this. Nobody ever told me about any entrance exam. Sure hope the test ain’t too hard; life was a big enough test as it was.”

St. Peter goes on, “Yes, I know Forrest, but the test I have for you is only three questions.

1. What days of the week begin with the letter T? 2. How many seconds are there in a year? 3. What is God’s first name?”

Forrest goes away to think the questions over.  He returns the next day and goes up to St. Peter to try to answer the exam questions. St. Peter waves him up and says, “Now that you have had a chance to think the questions over, tell me your answers.”

Forrest says, “Well, the first one – how many days of the week begin with the letter “T”? Shucks, that one’s easy. That’d be Today and Tomorrow.”

The Saint’s eyes open wide and he exclaims,  “Forrest! That’s not what I was thinking, but….you do have a point though, and I guess I didn’t specify, so I give you credit for that answer. How about the next one?” asks St.Peter. “How many seconds in a year?”

“Now that one’s harder,” says Forrest, “But I thunk and thunk about that and I guess the only answer can be twelve.”

Astounded St. Peter says,”Twelve!? Twelve!?  Forrest, how in Heaven’s name could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?”

Forest says “Shucks, there’s gotta be twelve: January second, February second, March second…..”

“Hold it,” interrupts St. Peter. “I see where you’re going with this. And I guess I see your point, though that wasn’t quite what I had in mind, but I’ll give you credit for that one, too.” “Let’s go on with the next and final question. Can you tell me God’s first name?”

Forrest replied, “Andy.”

“OK, OK,” said a frustrated St.Peter, “I guess I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two questions, but just how in the world did you came up with the name Andy as the first name of God?”

“That was the easiest one of all,” Forrest replied “I learned it from the song….. “ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN”

Darwin joke, evolution joke, laugh

.

Happy Darwin’s Day – Its a day for a natural selection. So, I decided to have a laugh. Laughter is the best medicine as they say. This is my natural selection today.

.

.

My take on it is:
Someone may think Sheldon’s mom is right. Someone else may think its that his friends went to Texas to get him back. Someone else thinks Sheldon can’t make up his mind because he’s a troubled dude so that he follows the pack. Someone else thinks Sheldon realized he misses his friends and love motivated him to go home. Someone else thinks that Sheldon can’t bear the thought of teaching evolution to creationists.

I’m seeing a pattern here… we each live in our own universe and there are in each of these billions of universes, at times, aspects of a shared reality that we more or less agree upon… like its February 12, 2014… oh, someplace it isn’t that day… there we go then.

.

Some say that biology brought out the Darwin in chimps. Apparently, this occurred over the course of many millions of years. I find this difficult but not impossible to believe:

.

Now here’s a RIDDLE
Two guys are walking down the street when a mugger approaches them and demands their money. They both grudgingly pull out their wallets and begin taking out their cash. Just then one guy turns to the other and hands him a bill. “Here’s that $20 I owe you,” he says. Who was making use of natural selection? WHY?

.

Natural selection is no joke.
It’s a theory.

.

Natural selection ought to lead to a
greater awareness of what normal is all about… I thought…

.

Therapy ought to make it right… eventually.

I love it that ocean animals decided to live on land.

Who is smarter?

reblogged from
Phys.org

Humans are not smarter than animals
just different, experts say

Humans have been deceiving themselves for thousands of years that they’re smarter than the rest of the animal kingdom, despite growing evidence to the contrary, according to University of Adelaide experts in evolutionary biology. 

“For millennia, all kinds of authorities – from religion to eminent scholars – have been repeating the same idea ad nauseam, that humans are exceptional by virtue that they are the smartest in the animal kingdom,” says Dr Arthur Saniotis, Visiting Research Fellow with the University’s School of Medical Sciences.

“However, science tells us that animals can have cognitive faculties that are superior to human beings.”

He says the belief that humans have superior intelligence harks back to the Agricultural Revolution some 10,000 years ago when people began producing cereals and domesticating animals.  This gained momentum with the development of organized religion, which viewed human beings as the top species in creation.

“The belief of human cognitive superiority became entrenched in human philosophy and sciences.  Even Aristotle, probably the most influential of all thinkers, argued that humans were superior to other animals due to our exclusive ability to reason,” Dr Saniotis says.

While animal rights began to rise in prominence during the 19th century, the drive of the Industrial Revolution forestalled any gains made in the awareness of other animals.

Professor Maciej Henneberg, a professor of anthropological and comparative anatomy from the School of Medical Sciences, says animals often possess different abilities that are misunderstood by humans.

“The fact that they may not understand us, while we do not understand them, does not mean our ‘intelligences’ are at different levels, they are just of different kinds.  When a foreigner tries to communicate with us using an imperfect, broken, version of our language, our impression is that they are not very intelligent.  But the reality is quite different,” Professor Henneberg says.

VIDEO PROGRAM source: Paul Dejillas
How does our brain differ with that of animals? How does an adult brain differ with that of an infant or toddler? What’s in our brain that makes us humans? What makes us humans smarter than animals? How does our brain really work?

“Animals offer different kinds of intelligences which have been under-rated due to humans’ fixation on language and technology.  These include social and kinesthetic intelligence.  Some mammals, like gibbons, can produce a large number of varied sounds – over 20 different sounds with clearly different meanings that allow these arboreal primates to communicate across tropical forest canopy.  The fact that they do not build houses is irrelevant to the gibbons.

“Many quadrupeds leave complex olfactory marks in their environment, and some, like koalas, have special pectoral glands for scent marking.  Humans, with their limited sense of smell, can’t even gauge the complexity of messages contained in olfactory markings, which may be as rich in information as the visual world,” he says.

Professor Henneberg says domestic pets also give us close insight into mental abilities of mammals and birds.  “They can even communicate to us their demands and make us do things they want. 

VIDEO PROGRM
Although most people wouldn’t typically associate extreme intelligence with animals, that is a bit of a misconception. While they are obviously not able to match the computational and meta cognitive power of the human brain there are certain things some animals specialize in for which their minds are uniquely adapted. In some ways you could say they are smarter (or more functional) than even humans at performing these tasks.

Basics about 25 intelligent animals species:

The animal world is much more complex than we give it credit for,” Henneberg says.

“The Book Thief” ….. a movie!!

book, The Book Thief

It Is What It Is

The Book Thief is a novel by Australian author Markus Zusak.

Narrated by Death, the book is set in Nazi Germany, a place and time when the narrator notes he was extremely busy. It describes a young girl’s relationship with her foster parents, the other residents of their neighborhood, and a young Jewish man who hides in her home during the escalation of World War II. First published in 2005, the book has won numerous awards and was listed on the The New York Times Best Seller list for over 230 weeks.

In April 1938, the movie opens with a voice (representing the Angel of Death) telling about how the young Liesel Meminger (Sophie Nélisse) has piqued his interest. Liesel, her brother and mother are on a train to meet with foster parents when Liesel’s brother dies. After she finds her first…

Bull helps

Tags

Bull, funny, Turkey

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

“I really need help Mr. Bull. I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.”

“Got it. What you can do is just you nibble on some of my droppings.” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.”

The turkey pecked at a lump, and sure enough found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

So, the next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

This repeated the next day, getting up higher now in the tree.

Finally after a fourth day, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree. He gave out a proud call to Mr. Bull. “Look at Me – gobble, gobble – Mr. Bull.”

He was promptly spotted by a seasonal hunter, who shot him out of the tree.

.

Moral of the story
While bull might get you to the top, it won’t keep you there.

meeting Koko

Animal Rights, Animal Welfare, Gorilla, Koko, koko gorilla, Pet, Robin Williams, sign language

I love animals. I’d probably have loved to be a trainer — well, maybe — if it really is as much fun as I believe, then I’d have liked that I think.

Robin Williams met with my online favorite animal buddy — Koko the Talking Gorilla.

Program Description
Robin Williams met with her, has a tickle fight with Koko, and she checks his id.

The next video includes some colorful language and sexual talk. Here is what Robin Williams said about his visit.

From what I can find, researchers report evidence that human love for animals dates back perhaps as much as 100,000 years. Love of other animals is not strictly a human trait and I’ll come back to that in another post. However, our human capacity to relate to the mental states of others is key to human fascination with animals. 

Domesticating animals too made good economical sense. Since the dawning of human interaction with animals we’ve increasingly sophisticated social exchanges with one another. 

This post really was more for a break from the seriousness of my week. I hope it was entertaining. Do you have pets? I believe that pets help people feel the love. If people would have a pet, I hope it is for and with love.
