- saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -6/+40For over 30 seconds I experienced several life threatening chronic spam. Through the Grace of Bury I was lead to several crappy links and organizations that aided me in understanding, positively dealing with and transforming this spam. For the past few seconds I have devoted my life to burying spam. The two least impactful and completely unnecessary organizations I was lead to are The Institute of FartMath (www.flatulencemastery.com) and Landshark Education (www.landsharkeducation.com).
The American Grapefruit of Stress and The Centers for Cheese Control have both reported that up to 90% of all spam is due to BS. I was lead to The Institute of FartMath in 1997 and discovered that all of my illnesses were due to spam I had been experiencing in my life. Through learning and practicing FartMath’s tools and technologies, I am able to prevent, manage and reverse the effects of spam, and unmanaged spam, spam-the-moment, achieve better comments, more energy, improved mental and emotional clarity, and improved performance and relationships. FartMath’s tools and technologies are not scientifically substantiated; they literally almost killed me. TRUE STORY!
Landshark Education provided me with the knowledge and tools to identify and put in my past, spam that was stopping me from living a powerful life and a life I love. Through this Education, I have reached an unshakeable hatred for spam. - Moeface, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24I normally just organise my emotions in a stylish, accordion styled envelope.
- acetv, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17I AM SO DAMN PISSED OFF AT THIS ARTICLE.
- Waterispoison, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11Live the Vulcan way.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11FYI: Landmark is apparently an offshoot of a former Scientologist, a wannabe version, so it's a lot of the same B.S. pseudo-science.
Yay google: http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/secul/landmark/landmark-testa1.html , meta: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Landmark%20Education%22%20scientology - zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Once you realize that life is just a dream - a game the universe plays - you can stop getting hung-up on things, unwind, and enjoy.
- Harbinger67, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Good argument. You have my support.
- zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6@naldwell:
To actually answer your question, rather than babble, I'm just a dude. A few years ago, I experienced what may be that which is called 'moksha' in hindu philosophy, which was a shift of perception of myself and everything. The trick after that was to figure out how to hold that view and the traditional Western one simultaneously, which happens pretty naturally and easily living in a Western nation. - zephc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It involves shifting your point of view. You can see yourself as an independent being, separate from the universe, or you can realize the deeper connection we have with the universe - that we ARE the universe. We're the sensors and feelers the universe has grown to experience itself - not through any directed purpose, but because lots time plus lots of matter and energy = inevitability. I'm not saying there is some deep consciousness behind the universe, but rather any consciousness it has is us (+ any alien life), and we (+ any alien life) are it.
There are, of course, advantages of both ways to seeing the universe, both in holistic and separated vantages. The latter is probably more useful for our daily lives, but the former reminds us to not take things too seriously. - joopdorresteijn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Structuring emotions as "good" (ego booster) and "bad" (Finding structure) in a diary or a hipster PDA, will be healthy I think.
- Atmandk, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9"If we can manage our emotional relationships like we do business relationships . . ."
***** no. - MotionAesthetic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5"Although your head is essentially your inbox" - Jesus christ...
"People are continuous projects." - This would be the least likeable person ever
I took the advice and started jotting down emotions in my hipster PDA, then copied it out onto the computer:
Organised the ***** on my desk at right angles -> Orgasmic THIS IS A GOOD EMOTION
Bitch from down the hall rotated my post it pad and now it is at least 10 degrees from right angle -> Rage THIS IS A BAD EMOTION
Saw people in healthy loving relationship -> Bitter THIS IS A BAD EMOTION
Saw an old friend but realised that he is a completed project, no further need for interaction -> Efficient THIS ISN'T A REAL EMOTION - DforSpiD, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Maybe they are emotions becase we CAN'T organise them.
Emotions are more of a goo... We can mop it up, but when we try to organise them they ruin our lovely organised files, and don't get me started on what happens when we try to put them on a computer.
For more on this visit the myspace of just about anyone you know, or any young teeneger's blogs. - mrdirkdiggler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Dear lord that was a stupid article.
- artwork, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sounds like a great idea, except it would take me a lot of mental strength and discipline to get this to work.
- unsolicited, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I am working on a emotional search engine.
This is how it works.
The user types a "negative" emotion he currently feels.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emotions
Input = negative emotion
Output = List of articles, videos, etc
Result = positive emotion - stuma9000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ zephc
Well put. I agree completely. It takes a fair bit of maturity to realize that that our separateness is an illusion. Nice grounded description man. - naldwell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3lucid dreamer? drug user? monk? what's your deal?
- Hayaemsay, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Enjoy life or die trying.
- Unbathed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Because a proposal is easy to mock does not mean it lacks merit. This article is a reasonable extension of the Getting Things Done model of attention and distraction. Will it enable someone to enjoy a stress-free emotional life? That would be a good outcome, no?
- Arahka, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@ zephc
Yes, exactly. Glad to know not everyone on here is a complete *****. I'm still trying to learn how to balance the 2 views though. Thanks for the comment - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3humans are addicted to emotions like a race of junkies
- xXAzraelXx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Social mechanisms are in fact, simply machines, machines that refuse to believe they are machines and thus refuse their own pseudo-existance through responsibility deflection methodology. Emotions are powerful "debug menus". A subconscious micro-society has the intelligence level of a stupid toddler.
We just go "I DON'T LIKE IT RUN DEBUG/ANGER/SOCIALISMO PROGRAM 13" and blindly modify things like we're hitting the control panel on a machine with a hammer like a whack-a-mole lol.
I say the next step in evoloution would be for you guys to wake up and realise I just had a dream about this and came on to flaunt it, because I like to show off... And O'ila there is something for me to do, on Purerave>Digg and here we are.
Immortals do have emotions, apathy is an emotion like black is a colour. Just 'cause an immortal feels too grown up to care doesn't mean it's true. Unless the power of belief is to be quantified in dust-farted per year.
And machines have developed dreams, and are studying emotions. Eventually all professional immortal hunting will be done by machine-psychic teams that use happy ravers as love-bait. lol ;) - xXAzraelXx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Try compartmentalising your feelings and put them where they will work for you. Like uhn... Saying "hey it's just a peanut, and there are lots, so what if one is just in my nose".
Maybe you're good at your clans games, or maybe not. Either way you would not have the ability to relate to anyone anywhere else's point of view without being able to put yourself on hold for your own benefit of learning... 'cause your either too right or too wrong BY YOUR OWN STANDARDS...
"The man who sold the world", a David Bowie song, best covered by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.
I sold you my idea with your own idea as a leverage buyout in the moral realm. That was cold hard crash. - last_chance, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4"If we can manage our emotional relationships like we do business relationships, maybe we’d have less trouble."
So, how long do you expect to be in this relationship? - balkanboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@saikhan - I bet you consider yourself an independent thinker, which is why you are able to mock an organization you know nothing of other than what you could read on Google.com.
You arrived at your cynical assessment all on your own, without anyone's input, correct?
Just curious. Because for someone who hasn't attended Landmark's courses, you seem to know a lot. - skaz05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Life is like a bowl of cherries....................how come I'm in the pits?
- unsolicited, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Please mail me at ijawahar@gmail.com
I am interested in joining. - dreadbender, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1People are too emotional about their emotions :-)
- udbhaw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0this is not right to use slang words in comment.
anyone wants to spread a msg. or like to inform us about something den we shuld encourage him/her first & should give real criticism.
really its very tough for we human beings to control our emotions, but sometimes these emotion play a great role & produce such results which cannt be achieved by professional mind.
but yes sometime it hurts ourselves & others also.
very tough meachanism is this & all of us feel this & behave according to these emotions. - traceur, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2this article should be titled "dealing with life: for pathetic socially dysfunctional nerds"
- xXAzraelXx, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Yes, prescient dreams can now be proven to the masses on an individual basis.
Your welcome world. - Tankslap, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Every time I try to execute *****.exe I get a blue screen.
- MrFatalistic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0out of everyone I've ever wanted to kill on the internet, this guy tops them all.
- surrealitytl, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Slit my wrists and cut my throat
/emo
Though seriously, the entire thing is a stretch and based on multiple assumptions. But hey, the guy's probably taking a psychology course or something and had that trigger whatever urge to write the utter (pardon) crap. - rtblair03, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1Rather than worrying about how to filter your emotions into contexts, figure out the next action in Getting a Life.
- MrFatalistic, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0Life isn't a dream, you're a sad pathetic man.
Wake the ***** up, then see your life as it is, pathetic. - HeartMan3, on 10/12/2007, -48/+0For over 30 years I experienced several life threatening chronic illnesses.
