What do you meditate on? What is the highest good? What moral value propels you?

Which does the greatest good among the things mentioned below?
1) Faith in God?
2) Non-Believer Sceptic
3) Service to Mankind
4) Live in Harmony with Nature
5) Scientific invention
6) Getting Rich
7) Self Discovery and introspection

The highest good is to be in anytime, to live, live, live, to participate of the being in anytime, anywhere forever because human being is not for death but to live. To participate of the being, but we don't have the power to make the things go how we want, because the things are how are them and not how we want, and for that , for the fact that we came not first, but the reality come first, and them reality make the rules, because we want to make the rules, but we can't, we only can recognize the rule and in all aspects of reality, wich means: respect always the totality consider and not to impose.

That's why we can't make the things of reality how we want, we ony can recognize, and not have the power to change the rules of reality, we can make laws near to reality rules or not near, but we have the responsability with the reality, human being is not an animal without conscience, them we have responsability for and with teh reality, and for that is that we have not to impose our rules, we can recognize what happen to us, but human being have to search responsability with the reality because the reality comes first and them the human being.

We are what we are and how we are.
It's only sad that we want to eat lies, our lies, to make us happy for a moment, but is not true happiness, and is not true good.

Moral values is to have freedom, but also freedom to make the good and thats is also refered to not lie to us in our mind and heart , yes that we can be in sometimes not conveniently responsable or we can't know very7 well the things in the way we are, it can happen, we don't have to make us fault, only we have to be sincerily and to search true with all aspects of reality not only a few.

One of the most common dreams that people have is being naked in public. I used to have dream about being naked in public and trying to hide from view or at least trying to cover myself up. In the last few years though every time I dream of being naked in public I don't try to hide or cover myself. I find that I like to be naked in public and sometimes even revel in the fact that I'm naked and no one else is.

So this is an invite to all amateur psychologists to analyze what this really means. My own interpretation is that I no longer care what people think of me and that I have dropped all my inhibitions.

People can see the same dream for different reasons. Its very personal.

I dont believe in everything the famous Austrian naughty boy Sigmund has said. He was obsessed with sensuality. He saw sexual desires flying everywhere, like the Rishis of yore saw God everywhere! He actually wanted to make his point and wouldnt listen to anything else. Furthermore, I believe in Franz Anton Mesmer's method of hypnotism more than Freud's psychoanalysis. It takes great skill and will-force to perform Mesmerism on somebody. And it requires just a degree to slap your opinion on somebody and call it psycho-analysis! The ancient and noble art of hypnotism is on the verge of becoming extinct.

Ok then, Ila, you were bothered by something about yourself, something that made you feel vulnerable and exposed. It must have been something mental or physical... I cant tell; but now you have gotten over that fear. You have reasoned with your own fear and put it to rest. So now you 'like to be naked in public and sometimes even revel in the fact that I'm naked '. You are now totally comfortable with the issue, and feel good about it.

Joke: Hey, it could be your liking for Ladyboys! You were afraid that people might out that you love ladyboys. Now after talking to so many real Tgirls, you understand and appreciate them, and feel proud of it.

What do you say?

Sigmund has to be taken with a lot of grains of sand. He had more sexual hang-ups than anyone I can think of. I think he was actually in love with his mother and hated his father for being married to his mother. He saw his father as a rival for his mother’s affection and was irreversibly scarred. That is why he related everything back to sex. He would have been a much happier man if hadn’t had such a big Oedipus complex.

I have never been a believer in hypnotism. I have heard that there two types of people that cannot be hypnotized â€" the very stupid and the very intelligent. A friend once tried to hypnotize me and he was not successful. I leave it to the reader then to judge into which category I fall.

I do believe that you are right about my dreams of being naked in public as revealing a fear of something that I have finally overcome. Maybe it was that I was afraid people would find out about my love for Tgirls. Although that wouldn’t explain why I had the same dream for years and even before I had ever thought of Tgirls. Perhaps it was a series fears that I had to overcome and I’ve finally worked through all my fears.

The explanation is coming, but it won't be right away. I'll have it on here, hopefully, within 24 hours.

What I know of dreams suggest that there is a Jungian archictecture to our dreams, this architecture is suggestive of a larger, overlying "universal consciousness." That is not to say that we all dream in the same way, or that symbols from one dream equat to symbols from a different person's dream. But I agree, your getting over the fear of being naked would suggest that you have some issue that you have sense moved beyond.

I have heard that another archetypal dream is losing a tooth. I have had this sort of dream once or twice. But it's a very popular archetype. Similarly, in our own culture, the idea of being publicly humiliated is a familiar archetype.

A recurring dream that I have had over my entire life is that of flying...But instead of flying in the stereotypical way of flapping my arms, I actually manage to fly by kicking my feet back and forth. It's a very strange dream sensation, to float by "walking" on air. More to come later...

I should start by saying that it is possible for people to be hypnotized. The effects of hypnotism depend on the willingness and motivation of the person being hypnotized. What I don’t believe is that hypnosis is useful.

Hypnosis is at its worst when it is used to create false memories. False memories are those memories that are induced into a person by a hypnotist that has taken the subject back to an earlier time in his/her life and created memories of events that simply did not exist. False memories have been used by law enforcement to convict people of crimes that did not happen. The end result of this is a living hell for those that are wrongly accused and convicted of crimes that did not happen and all because of false memories.

The ancients of many lands used hypnosis, especially in India, Persia and Mesopotamia for the purpose of meditation. Perhaps western civilization should study hypnosis as practiced by the eastern religions. Maybe then our civilization can come to better understand it. A proper understanding then should lead to hypnosis becoming useful. Until then I will not believe that hypnosis in the west is useful for anything other than entertainment purposes.

Hypnosis is the result of a strong disciplined mind exerting force (like force fields emanating from a magnet) on a weaker mind. In nature hypnotism is used by various insects, fishes and pythons to lure prey into convenient vicinity. I have confirmed news of childbirth under hypnosis, without anesthetics! Numerous psychiatrists even to this day use it to heal deep rooted fears and complications in patients minds. I have seen snakes and chickens being hypnotised. Really!

A man saw a venomous Cobra; he went near it, the snake raised its hood, ready to strike. The man started to coax the snake, talk softly to it, (I dont know if the snake heard him!) all the while looking straight at it's eyes. He brought his head at the level of the snake's and kept looking fixedly, eyes locked. The snakes fierce attitude melted away, the man again talked and patted it and slowly put it in his bag.

I have also seen jungle folks hypnotising a ferocious leopard into a stunned state. At the end, the big cat simply turned and left! Unbelievable, eh?

You can try this at home. If you see any dog that is angry, simply look into it's eyes and dont pull away or blink. In the end, the dog will turn it's eyes away and leave. The effect will be greater, if your eyes are at the same level as the animal's.

In Yoga, there are six preparatory cleansing acts. Tratak is one of 'em. Yogis practice it by looking fixedly at a small piece of stone or metal for hours. They dont blink and their eyes dont water. Of course, they are masters of this technique.
