Bipolar disorder; understanding the highs, the lows and the in between.
Roach Invasions are a Source of Stress
Some Buddhists have told me some stories about Buddha, saying that in his life he had experienced both wealth and poverty. I can relate very much to that life journey. In my life, I have resided at brand, new, top-of-the-line, luxury-style homes, and also called "home" some of the most disgusting, low-life places that some people would never want to imagine, let alone dwell in. I'm not sure if that's a blessing or a curse. I chalked it up to some kind of survival lesson or spiritual lesson regarding the human journey and my personal growth in perspective and resilience.

Understanding the Thinking Process
Are you aware that you live in a hypnotic world? When you think, you are hypnotizing yourself. The words you use hypnotize you. Negative words will hypnotize you negatively, and positive words will hypnotize you positively. Do you know your ego must use words to present itself in the conscious mind? It is a product of self-hypnosis. It is the reason why people feel that they cannot stop thinking. They feel that they might disappear from the mind if they stop thinking.

Seen and Unseen Pain causes different reactions
Has anyone ever asked you what you're afraid of? I've been asked, and I've seen people ask that question of others in movies. I don't usually ask that question, because I figure if they wanted to deal with it, they'd start that conversation without my provocation. I don't like to pry. I think about fears more than I probably should and I think that's because a large portion of Generation X would wear t-shirts that read "No Fear" or put that bumper sticker on their POS cars. That's not me. I have plenty of fears. I'm not a hypochondriac and some have even called me "brave" for the ability to address a fear and face it sometimes. After having done that many times, I realized that though I could face a fear, maybe even conquer it to some degree (like my fear of heights doesn't stop me from going up in an airplane or up to the top floor of a skyscraper), fear remains a part of me. People do not respect fear. They respect courage. Yet I've witnessed more foolishness and dangerous behavior occur in the name of courage, not fear. So my conclusion is this: lovers and seekers of wisdom have a healthy relationship and respect for fear. Fear as a personality is the first to mention "danger" and knowing that something is "dangerous" is a key to wisdom.

The Silence Was Too Loud . AI-Generated.
Introduction Have you ever sat in complete silence, only to find that it felt deafening? The absence of sound can sometimes feel overwhelming, as though it carries a weight of its own. While silence can be peaceful and restorative, it can also amplify thoughts, emotions, and uncertainties, making it feel louder than any noise. This paradox of silence is a powerful reminder of the complexities within our inner world. Let's explore the meaning behind this sensation and how we can embrace the loudness of silence.
