Exam Week

It's 12:10PM, Wednesday December 9th, 2009.

I just submitted an atrocious paper for Metaphor and Cognition. Thank God that's over with. Yesterday and last night were more fucked up than any other day and night I can recall from my not so distant past. It took so much effort to identify the metaphors from the texts I was reading, every time I found one I had to recover the energy I used by taking a nap.

Anyway, now I have to get ready for 'the gauntlet':

Tomorrow, Thursday December 10th, 2009, at 9AM I write for Psychological Differences and Individual Measurement

The exam is worth 30%. It will cover material spanning the end of October and the month of November. This material includes lecture topics, chapters 9B and 1B.

The examination ends at 11AM

Subsequent exam: Biopsychology, 2PM Friday December 11th, 2009. This one's worth 35% and is cumulative. The last section after our second midterm covers four chapters of the text: 6, 7, 8, and 12, which are on Vision, Audition and Sensation, Motor Control, and Memory respectively.

The previous two midterms covered Chapter 1 (pp 8-25) and Chapter 15 (pp 430-439), Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, and Chapter 5, which are on Methods of Neuroscience, Organization of the nervous system, Cells of the nervous system, Psychopharmacology, and Neural Development respectively.

These topics plus anything discussed in lecture are useable as test material. I've also been given a sheet of potential essay questions. The examination ends at 5PM.

The day following I will be writting an exam in Research Design and Analysis I, 2PM Saturday, December 12th 2009. This exam, worth 40% of my final mark, is a cumulative exam. Since our last midterm we've covered chapters: 8, Between-subjects design; 9, Within-subject design; 10 (15.4), Non- and quasi-experimental design; 11, Factorial research design; and 13(15.4), Descriptive research. The first and second mideterms covered chapters: 1, Scientific method; 3, Understanding variables; 4 & 5, Research ethics & participants; 6, Research strategies and validity; 15.1, 15.2, AppB, Normal curve and statistics; 12, 15.2, AppB, Correlational Research; and 7, 15.3, Experimental research.

The exam session ends at 5PM.

Sunday, the 13th of December 2009 I have free from examinations. The following exam occuring Monday, December 14th, 2009 at 7PM in Metaphor and Cognition. This final, worth 35% of my final mark, will likely be short essay format. The exams requiers that I write one essay from each of the sections: Section 1 – Metaphor Comprehension, Section 2 – Metaphor and Brain, Section 3 – Metaphor and Context, and Section 4 – Metaphor Application. The exam questions have been made available.

the examination ends at 10PM.

Tuesday the 15th of December 2009 I will be free to prepare for my final exam in Discrete Structures which will take place Wednesday the 16th of December at 7PM. This exam will cover topics from the beginning of the semester. A sample exam has been posted it looks as though I'll need to have a thourough understanding of how to count possible combinations. This exam will be worth 50% or 65% of my final grade, depending on which scheme produces the higher mark.

I will be elated all the way.

Life's Work

Goddamn it!

That's Awesome!

I crack myself up. Despite knowledge, actions posess my behavior, less than productive behaviors. Otherwise productive behaviors. It cracks me up, the world is such a cool place, I learn such cool things, I see such cool stuff. It's cool to me. I create some of this cool content. You know what else is cool? Lame content. Without it cool stuff would just be average. Am I ever glad for lamers, without them I wouldn't be quite as cool.

Mental Crunch

This is crazy! I have the time to explore. It's all I have time to do. I'm so focused on exploring I can't think of anything else I'd like to do. I can think of a pile of work I can do. School's taking up a lot of my time, and money, but not all of it. The better portion of it? Perhaps, for now. I wonder if I should equate any meaning within the situation. If I could be doing anything in the world I would be making music. So why am I studying psychology? Simply put, I'm fucked up and I need a psychologist to help me straighten my self out. I'm flat broke so I can't afford to see a psychologist. I've borrowed so much money that if I were to drop out of school I'd be struggling to survive on my shit ass minimum wage job 'cause I wouldn't be able to hold any decent employment did because I'm fucked. A pair of fucks. So what do I do? I become a psychologist myself. Not too shabby eh? The drawback is the time I lose on making music. At least this way once I get into the industry my self-destructive behaviours will be under control. Long live the emperor, long live life on the moon.

As an accessible metaphor all that is understood is so by terms of what we already understand.

These lines remind me of another collection of molecules I've already experienced.
Where are they now? I'm not certain. Do they exist in me? Do they exist without me?
The line employed could differentiate bewtween each case.

The mind designs lines to divide the conscious know from the unconscious knowledge.

The other, unconscious of I, evaporates.
Breath after breath leaves behind the trail of evidence supporting their existence.

I live in this wake.

Under Pressure

David Bowie, Freddie Murcury

Toy Makers

My thoughts are like vapours rising up from my brain, clouding my mind.

A fog of colours, each hue a different stream of thought, a discipline, a subject, each a course for my program to adapt to. In adaptation I grow, my thoughts and attitudes, my behaviours evolving, more closely resembling the ideals they're grounded in. Effective.


A streaming weave, intertwined in an orchestration of creativity. Sure things form, as the vapours react with each other and their environment, becoming strands, pathways from old thought to new. They tighten, forming wave upon wave of inspiration.

Drapes drawn aside, aside, aside. Revealing the once hidden architecture of this place: my imagination.


The ground, solid from pasts learnings, still not solid, still liquid, moving liquid, forms the ground from which this new experience erupts, extends, and evaporates to hang in the 'air'.

relationships: have we found an effective way to relate?

characteristics of internal dialogues: problem-solving through the acquisition of self-information is most effective when we take 1. the perspective of others, 2. possess an extended vocabulary of words for describing the self, 3. monitor the content of our self-talk

New Days

They never get old, unity with variety. The same old with a new twist. Same day, everyday, a new day. Have you mastered your day yet?

Routines: including calligraphy, typing, reading, writing, researching? what's that? musicianship

subsets - guitar subsets - sight reading, technical exercise.. composition, ear training, could take up a lot of time, if I were to establish a daily routine that includes all that I know would benefit from daily practice.

focus, goals

consequences

needs analysis ie. what does the world need from me? What am I into? How do I respond? Effective behavior directed toward problem solving - the attainment of goals, achievements.


I might be able to create a large list of goals, I dream very big. It could be possible to accomplish all these goals.
Even the goals which include time? Deadlines?

These goals create pressure. The fear of failure! oh no, I'd almost rather not set them.

Effective introspection builds confidence by training the individual to be attracted towards desireable circumstance.

I've been reading a paper on the characteristics of an effective internal dialogue used for the acquisition of self-information in the process of problem-solving.

The three major characteristics that lend to effective self-talk as defined by the author are: Taking other people's perspectives, vocabulary used in describing the self, and paying attention to the content of our internal dialogue: self-monitoring.

I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I've successfully completed a majority of the tasks I set out to accomplish today: unpacking, post office, banking has been delayed until tomorrow, but I was still able to pay my bills.

I'm blogging.

I have time to go to the gym, and an evening that has yet to be planned. I would like to plan my evening now.

I have groceries yet to retrieve. I look silly. I'm slim. I'm hungry.

Simple thoughts. Readings on social skills and balance in relationships.

Helpful information, I feel as though I am growing as a person. Are these types of acctivities research activities? I think so.

Honestly, I'm thinking about the girl. Hmm.. it's probably not healthy to push out the world around me when I'm caught up in strategizing or fantasy. The opportunity to implement even the most solid plan.. There are opportunities present in the now I steadily prepare to take advantage of. I am looking forward to being in love, a reciprocating smile, being held, nurturing... I wonder if I should change my image? My hairstyle? My clothes? My footwear? My accesories? I can change them. I should be attractive. Can I change them all? Would this be beneficial? Am I focusing on a strength or a weakness? My image? My image is a symptom of a much deeper cause. My image is caused by my behavior. It is my behavior which I must master.

I appear healthy, and fit. My clothes are not very expensive. My shoes are old and worn. My hair is getting longer. I like my hair colour. I have body hair. Objectified. How do these observations affect me? Psychologically? The conclusion is a long time coming.

How did I respond? I looked, I typed, I self-disclosed way too much way too soon. Did I? Seems so. Far too emotional. I'm learning, and that makes me feel good.

Practice

The benefits are undeniable: practice is the routine exercise required to maintain and develop any skill. Once this has been accepted, practice can then be further defined as maintenance and development. Maintenance usually requires review of previous developments. Therein lies the benefit of first defining developmental practice. After engaging in a practical activity the reward reinforcing such behavior, either real or imagined, marks the individual with a first impression. This motivates the desire that furthers development.

Being conscious of the degree to which a skill may progress, and the time commitment required to develop such a skill, may cause trepidation. Attending to the initial appeal may be sufficient but not necessary to overcome the paralytic fear that threatens to, and often does, thwart the progress of a beginner. This is why training from a skilled mentor is so highly valued. The benefit gained from the practical behavior is reinforced and the pupil develops rewarding habits.

'It's the touring that keeps our group from happening isn't it? The touring needn't keep us from developing.' He decisively takes on the name 'Rugard' as we circle through the yard, around a mid-sized tree, wide with branches draped into the snowed over ground. The snow is deep. We trudge between the tree and a small red wooden shed trimmed with white boards and lit with one single electric light. It's incandescent orange turns us toward the property's front. 'Two faeries escaping over the ford!' I reach into the deep snow banking the hole we've forged from our motions. My hand takes hold of an icy javelin, it's diameter larger than would be expected. I free the spear from the bank and launch it towards the form on the left fast fading in front of us. The night light blue hue about me finds highlight by the cumbersome projectile. Lumbering forward and inaccurately launched, the weapon fumbles off, many yards short the mark. Evacuated, we stand beside the hole. 'Wench!' In her curly black locks and evening dress, all smiles, dashes toward us. She spills into the hole, it's sides blackened by it's suddenly abysmal bottom. Magic am I? The two of us remain.

Love Letters

Ambivalent text. Cold.

Cold, a love letter makes a promise. A love letter fuels the drive to endure, until warmth returns.

Small Treasures

Small rewards for counterattitudinal behavior tend to be more effective at changing attitudes than do large rewards. Large rewards act as justification in relieving cognitive dissonance where smaller rewards cannot. When a small reward is offered the reward itself is not enough to alleviate the discomfort of cognitive dissonance so an attitude change occurs.

Understanding your own attitudes takes some effort. An honest and accurate depiction of your innermost thought and feelings could be considered a valuable resource. Might the trait of introspection be one mastered through practice?


Casual or committed? If either, how so? Will these requests escalate incrementally? Let's just kiss and take it from there. I like to know what I can.

Should you have any further request, please feel at ease when using my telephone number: 506 536-3486. Motivated by the need to fulfill deficiencies, the most influential of which being physiological, my requests are physically demanding until I've reached goal-attainment and begin pursuing higher needs and ultimately the need for self-actualization. Aren't all efforts at goal-attainment physically demanding? Is there any reward or reinforcement without the work involved in the behavior? My needs go partially fulfilled while my social skills develop. Tact and a deeper understanding of the truth cultivate and nurture my social skills. Would it be unjust to objectify your person as the means to the end of personal gratification? Ideally, once physiological needs are met, the remaining safety, love, esteem, and needs for self-actualization are realized. Ideally, we help each other fulfill these needs. The healthy society is capable of fulfilling the needs of its individuals.

Key signatures: your own.

In the key of 'Hello, my name is:'

The Key
The Lock
The Treasure

Mind viced may lose each of these.

The treasure is dynamic equilibrium between three states: mind, body, and spirit.

Locked within three walls of a metaphysical nature are the treasures of balance, harmony, and peace.

But where is the key? Is it knowledge? First or second hand experience? Can you relate? Are you compassionate? Do you confuse the feelings of others for your own? The empathic individual. Are you confused by your feelings towards others? The key is self-knowledge.

I lost my keys :/

Sir Tainty

Dainty steps in worn out shoes
gallops lithely, drudging the labour.

His effort spent, an investment in futile destiny, hopeful he cries.

But why this hope? He feels barren, burdened, strengthened and soothed.

Temporarily aware that he is unaware. Dying to be convinced, to conceive.

Conceiving, being compared. Creating but for what? Tomorrow is imagined, but when it is naught what has he left? Ruts, marks, divots? Feelings, impressions. Is rest any more appealing?


I could be as a well, filling with emotions caste down in pours of attention.
Does the well dry quickly? Or am I wasteful with it's contents? Life is so good while the well is filling, should I fear the drought imminent? I live through time. The past uncertain brought on uncertainty. What an illusion (what: the colour of confusion): The semantic content of a semiotic message persuading popular culture to buy into the marketed ideal. The majority of happiness, what is it? Learned attitudes, adopted through social learning.

Dissonance, and a negative response towards myself is birthed from a conflict between two schemas: the one I have for my current self, and the one I have for the self I feel others are interested in investing with. I need to be the self I am and believe I am the self others desire me to be. I need to be with people. I need to accept them, bring them in close, and allow them to know who I am. I need to be vulnerable, I need to be strong, confident, approachable, unprejudiced. Where a similarity lay attraction may occur.

The life that I live is splendid. It is unlike the majority norm. That is not to say it cannot be improved. It is my attitude towards the life I live that makes it. I need not share my life, but the attitude towards it. In so doing others are able to adopt a similar attitude. I do have attitudes, and preconceived beliefs, some of which are obstacles preventing me, or slowing my professional growth. The good news is that I do feel worthy. Do I feel valued? Important? I must create the value others respond positively towards. I am able to create a superficial impression, but my true worth is in bringing out the qualities that underlie valuable feelings: security and comfort. If you seek securities, I have these to offer. If you seek comforts, I have these to offer. I have nothing but a master, a good master. I have nothing to offer but what I know. The illusion of I and mine are false, though simply put, the superficial impression sparks new beginnings.

What securities I give come from God. What comforts I give come from God. They are in this world but not of it. As I draw closer to him, he draws closer to me, as you draw closer to me, you draw closer to him, and the comforts and securities I know, the deep emotional comfort and security God's love is, are yours.

And who on Earth would let me know the same relationship? A woman drawing closer to God, sheltered by his securities and comforts. A woman whom as I draw closer to, shelter's my love beneath the deep spiritual security and comfort she knows from her relationship with God.

Shamanism: Shame on you Imperfect, just dance!

I'm working, yay. It's a good job: hard work, physically demanding at times, emotionally demanding at others, spiritually demanding again and again. I've spent roughly 40 hours at this 'new' job. It's puppy love to a great degree. Today I am off. I had an interview this morning for a new job. Same type of work, different environment. Crushed.

New tech. Low gravity. Electrical outlet. Posting, pasting, haste wasting. Aging. Downers? Dirty work. Self-worth. What am I worth to you?

Two things: Doing what God wants. Second thing: Placing my trust in God. God knows what I need before I ask for it. All of my needs are met as I surrender my will to fulfill God's purpose for the Earth.

It's hard sometimes, not knowing. Faith is such an important thing. You can try as you may to remove yourself from negative situations, but really I think the main thing is interpretation. The Bible talks about the armour of Christ, and I do feel protected from many influences. The Hindu scriptures talk about associations with other devotees as being an essential part of their religion. This helps them maintain purity. The Jehovah's Witnesses exhibit the same type of behaviour: shunning memebers who act against the doctrines of their society. Speaking of the Witnesses, I think the evangelicals who I had accepted into my home for Bible study have decided to cease our talks.

Last week, I had a shift during my usual meeting time with the Jehovah's Witnesses and was expecting to hear from David on Thursday to discuss an appropriate time to re-convene. I have yet to hear from him. Luckily he did assist me with my Bible reading strategy. I had previously tried to read the Bible from cover to cover. David suggested I start with the book of Matthew and finish the New Testament. I've been reading about a chapter or two a day ever since!

My Hindu readings have slowed way down. It is a very demanding discipline, wrought with beauty and explanation. Since I've been recently smitten, I should hope to learn new teachings on life as a householder, or even better: actually experiencing the life of a householder. I'm not sure what's in store, I really have been taking it one day at a time. I'm tempted to whine about a lack of close relationships and it is true, my closest relationships are few and far between. My situation resonates with the information I received from Adulthood and Aging. Older men tend to have one person in their inner circle of social relationships: their wife. Now if I can only figure out how to wifey this lady...

Consequences

Allowing consequences to direct your action is an interesting thought. How can you know the consequences of your actions before the consequences have arrived? I've struggled with this a long time: Choosing a goal, and then working towards the goal. I'm focusing on failures right now because I don't seem to be getting any place real with anybody! I try to calm myself by saying the reason I've seen so little major developments come to fruition is because the course towards my goal is a long one, equal in magnitude to the loftiness of my goal. My goals tend to resonate with my dreams. I would love to become financially independent. How should I reach this goal? Financial independence is the consequence of which action? The first word that comes to mind is discipline, the second is frugality. I would love to be free from financial worries. I would use my money to create a rock concert. I would spread a message of understanding. Would I? I don't know, I feel so hopeless and doubtful. It's times like these I really feel like I would benefit from having someone who loved me unconditionally. It seems so hard to even consider the actions required to experience such a consequence. My self-esteem feels fragile and brittle in light of such types of situations. It really is a vicious cycle. If I were wealthy, I suspect I would have more confidence. Being poor, I'm confident that should another love me, it would be out of genuine affection for who I am, and not so much my material worth. Falling in love after getting rich may cause doubts of loyalty. Anyway, I'm not sure what the real issue is, I'll have to refocus.

Let's try to better understand the problem. I am faced with obstacles. My objective is to find a companion and then become financially independent. In that order, to eliminate the impact of a superficial attraction on loyalty. I would like to be with someone I can trust, respect, and honor. Now, how do I find this person? Is it reasonable to hold on financial independence before I find her? I don't think that it is?

The question is: Why am I still single? It's easy to say that I'm undesirable because of my financial situation.

Another question might be: Why am I poor? The answer here could be that I am waiting to find someone who wants me for me before I make my fortune.

The true fortune is in love. I value companionship more than any other treasure on Earth. Right now it's all I want.

The 'Kind' and 'Patience' Neuronal Networks

Kindness is an interesting trait. It is a character trait. Can kindness be quantified? When you say someone is kind on what authority is the decision made? Objectifying a person's behaviour as kind or unkind requires an external standard, one that ultimately must have been decided upon through subjective decision making. Alternatively, the difference is intrinsic, something we are all innately aware of. Honestly, to mention another's kindness may be a kind act in itself.

Patience is equally as difficult to quantify. An english word, loaded with meaning. 'Patiently waiting' implies waiting without being anxious. Anxiety can cause stress problems that lead to health issues with a persons blood pressure. So it is healthy to be patient. It may be good. It would be good if conductively you were to reason health as a good thing. It is good to be healthy. Why? A healthy person might be pain free, is that to say a person who is in pain is not healthy? Is pain a sign of unhealthyness? That would be unfair to say. A child experiences growing pains, is this not common to every child? Perhaps we're all in poor health.

It is a conditioned feeling. How do you feel? Are you nervous?

Cascade

No, not the dishsoap! Okay, well some of that too. Now that is the end of that.

Computing on public access computers tends to be a joy (for the most part). The workstation I am at today has a sticky 'o' key. Not only does this key increase my error rate and lower my words per minute, it is very frustrating.

Good for trying the patience.

I could change stations. I could try to find someone who is interested in knowing and doing something about the situation, or I can do nothing.

What is it with me and handicaps? I believe it's impermanent regardless. Does suffering make future experience that much more enjoyable?

RCM Guitar

I didn't even know there was a Royal Conservatory of Music Guitar program! Not until recently.

Saddness... Anger? Hmm, frustration. It's getting later on in my life. Envy? Fear. I feel inappropriate without a nylon stringed guitar. Limitation. Acceptance approaches quickly. The outcome is still to be decided. My vision is obstructed, literally, there seems to be some over stimulation. Could it be a combination of my job seeking, Bible reading, strength training, guitar practice, computer usage, and syllabus introduction? Eye strain, brain strain. I feel good, but emotionally low, positively broke, with goals that seem a little too lofty. What was I thinking as I left High School? I really hadn't thought of much. I knew so little concerning desireable passtimes, everything was a hobby to some greater or lesser degree of seriousness. I favored those activities whose nature where most harmonious with my own: generative, exciting, social activities. Affordable activities. It would be a shame to never realize my potential as a classical guitarist because I lacked adequate equipment, but how can I invest into such equipment? The endeavour would incure more debt. It is reassuring to believe that I do have the credit to fulffill such a pursuit. Currently I do have the time to invest, but that will have to change and I will have to earn a living. It will be some time yet before I am a qualified guitar instructor.

Sass! Sassafras. Sassafras roots. Roots! Rudiments. Rudimentary.

"Hey now!? That's just plain rude!" mother exclaimed as she stepped into the yard. The scowl on her face punctuated by the snap close of the spring loaded wooden screen door frame. Her faded green cargo shorts and pale pink tank top reminiscent of her youthfulness, hands poised on jutted hips. I looked from her pose to my hands, and down past them to the the boy who lay bleeding unconscious below me. How could a child my age know any better?

Raindrop World

There seems to be a swelling dynamic in my chest. It swells and churns. I think it is the knot of my emotions, brought all the more nearer the surface of consciousness through recent events. Exhilarating, and terrifying all at once, the sensation is one of impending change. Yes, I am facing significant changes in my lifestyle. I have yet to evolve my studies into a sustainable activity. Pursuing my interests into private study at the closure of this most recent school year has been one of the most rewarding decisions I have yet to make in my life. I experience the personal satisfaction of doing what I love every day! The days continue to fall from the calendar, and my skills improve. I look forward to this continuing excitement of revelation, every moment of my being.

Amphibian

A man of his word, the word (amphibian) brings others to mind: frog, mucus, and well.

A tadpole with it's tail matures and then has none. From my recent experience it seems those who desire to reach the highest tier of spiritually enlightenment also mature along the same line.

Crocodile, alligator; I still have yet to master the difference between them. Both amphibians? Cold blooded creatures? Lizards.

Their buoyancy controlled by the amount of air found in their lungs.

A frog, living at the bottom of a well, is told about the vastness of the ocean. Though he's never seen it, he tries to imagine it. He pumps his belly larger and larger until finally, he bursts. - Srimad Bagavatam.

Dreamy thoughts, an end goal in sight.

In hindsight, or through the minds eye.

I near the end goal.

Realization of this tangibility further develops,

is it any more than thoughts allowed to manifest?

Which desires divide you?

Do all of these desires reside inside of you?

Were they suggested by sensation?

Did you perceive prolonged elation?

Giving is an action: to give up, give in, give out.

Believe it?

The truth of two.

Pressure Fronts

Hi and low pressure. Temperature. Hot and cold. The flow of electrons: concentration of charges. Current: the flow of electrical charges from high concentration to low. In the center of the Earth, a molten core rotates. This core, hotter than the surface of our planet, orbits around the blistering heat of our sun. As we travel away from the core, the temperature falls until we escape our planets atmosphere and enter the deep freeze of space. On route towards the sun, the temperature is absolute zero until we enter the Sun's corona. Here, a medium contains a vibrational energy that can be sensed as temperature. Back on the surface: are we heating up, or cooling down? As the medium disperses throughout the vastness of space we reach equilibrium. In the mean time, why not enjoy the system? Too cold? Approach the core, leave for the sun. Too warm? Head towards the void.

What's going on is on.

The one sided situation: a one sided conversation. Paradoxically cannot be had by believers. The entity remains unseen, replies are to be interpreted. The perceived lack of reply may be attributed to the fundamental attribution error. The world outside the self exists symbiotically with the individual, constantly making requests and offering replies. The apparent frustration experienced by one who perceives to be ignored is his own creation. The tension, felt by any sensitive to the situation, obstructs the processing of adequacy. Calmly, accept the response. I find it blissfully elegant.

On approach from a week day.

I wonder if there is a subconscious association between the semantic content of English word combinations 'week day' and 'weak day'. If there were it is no longer subconscious. Perhaps most knowledge is uncovered in a like manner; making a transition from the subconscious mind to the conscious. Was the title 'week day' given and used as a device imposed on all English speaking humans, intending to lower their self-worth and consequently, their productivity? Unconscious of the modern world, I dare believe Monday to Friday are strong days and Saturday and Sunday is the strong-beginning.

Ratchet

Internal technology, the invisible kind, physical or metaphysical? I am aloof of the internal workings of a ratchet. The mechanism may be simple, sophisticated, complex, elegant. The mechanism may be purely psychological. An electrical force, woven into a tapestry of specific action. --r-r-ratchet--- r-ratchet--- ratchet--- ratchet..

All of my ideas: good?

I'm in a bit of a mood, not a bad one, though I was a tad miffed this morning. I woke up near the dawning hour: 4 am, with an erection, not an unusual thing, though today I found it frustrating. There is something to be said about frustrations, at least there is something I've read.

When the weather turns...

I have a fascination with philosophy. This fascination lead me to study the world of the unseen. Last night, as I lay awake in the dark of my room, patiently waiting for sleep to over take my senses, I made a definite assumption. At this point I ceased philosophizing. So be it. I'd been studying scriptures with an aid provided by missionaries of the Jehovah's Witnesses variety. Within a Bible study teaching aid document/book they left with me, the human spirit, or our unique/individual consciousness as I am using it to refer to, ceases to exist upon death of the mortal body. As I lay awake I thought "I am an electrical signal, all that is is a momentary electrical signal. That which causes electricity is magnetism." I searched my thoughts to find the source of magnetism. "Electricity may create magnetism".

Are you alright?

I write and I write and I write, but it's not blogging, oh no, far from it! Is it?
