Still recovering from centuries of being in the middle of being invaded by Turks, Hitler, Stalin, Mongols. The Arab would would have a higher suicide rate except for the fact that suicide attempts land you in prison if you don't make it and in Allah's bad books which ever way. Me and Allah don't get on too well, much better in Hungary with music.

As a humanist (one who is concerned with the interests and welfare of humans) I care a lot, about how the universe remembers my contribution / it’s inheritance. The future “partygoers” will depend on if you carry the ingenious / life affirming Primal Principles forward or something similar you have developed. Even if the entire universe forget that you have existed.<br /><br />Jan J.<br />Jan Åke Johnssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107966321155297159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-89678458837615570972013-11-01T07:38:58.270-07:002013-11-01T07:38:58.270-07:00I forgot about that.

Hopefully soon I can get back to LA and pick a fight with the nice padded wall which seems to be the best thing long run. I managed to close up and am trying to leak out the feelings in little bits. I don't recommend hitting your birth feelings in Abu Dhabi when it's 110 degrees outside and there is nothing but mosques and shopping malls. Anyway, I landed somewhat on my feet, somewhat on my head in a small town in Hungary studying music so if anyone wants to visit you're welcome. I try not to give up on my dreams of being an ace musician and successful primal patient but they don't always mix very well.<br /><br />This baby is cute... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIsCs9_-LP8&feature=youtu.beEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324087416364183818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-60671943744154165012013-11-01T02:06:31.472-07:002013-11-01T02:06:31.472-07:001/5th of Babies emerge with the cord wrapped round...1/5th of Babies emerge with the cord wrapped round the neck. I thought it might be interesting to see what percentage of suicides are caused by hanging. http://www.suicide.org/suicide-statistics.html If you scroll down to "Suicides by gender" it lists 23.4% of men and women 19.7% as using hanging or suffocation. What is also so incredible is the huge disparity between the number of men killing themselves compared to women. http://hightechchat.reocities.com/SoHo/opening/3630/part2/chap23.html lists about 14% use hanging as a means of killing themselves. Obviously US statistics. <br />http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=165266 This site lists about 25% of suicides by hanging at about 25%.<br />http://davidhealy.org/left-hanging-suicide-in-bridgend/ even more interesting is that this piece states that quite a few suicides in Bridgend in Wales were found in a semi kneeling position. Perhaps this even more describes a person reflecting a feotal position at the beginning and end of their lives.planespotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315637682741508786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-65607852927083470842013-10-31T10:23:29.525-07:002013-10-31T10:23:29.525-07:00Emanuel: If anything I think that Primal should do...Emanuel: If anything I think that Primal should do that. artArthur Janovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18009571728800026496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-86842686525335120662013-10-31T03:47:12.946-07:002013-10-31T03:47:12.946-07:00Need... a survival "instinct" that can b...Need... a survival "instinct" that can block all memories of mom... and everything becomes possible if necessary for survival!

An interesting post. Art has been quoted ...Hi Emma<br /><br />An interesting post. Art has been quoted as saying something like "Being English should be a diagnosable condition". There was a recent BBC series about the English and their emotions. Suppossedly in the 17th and 18th century we were this incredibly emotional bunch who were renouned for crying at the drop of a hat. Then in the Victorian era things changed and the stiff upper lip developed. A deadening of emotion. There were all kinds of theories about this but I wonder about the growth of public schools and the Empire might have something to do with it as well as the cold approach to child rearing that seemed to so sum up Victorian England. It is a known fact that sending kids away to school is a very traumatic event in the child's life. Ripping them away from the bosom of the family must have had a dreadful effect building on earlier trauma probably brought on by being brought into the world by the kinds of parents who liked to "see children but not hear them" etc. These people then went round the world dominating other countries so had to be cold to survive.<br />Then add two very traumatic world wars which the UK was right at the heart of and is it any wonder that generations learned to "button up".<br /><br />One could also see this as the rise and fall of one kind of trauma over another. Perhaps the earlier crying people were the sympaths showing emotion while not really understanding them whereas the later none crying people are the parasympaths avoiding emotion but quietly observing. The balanced healthy sane people were as always able to see what was going on and feel and understand themselves. Then there is the fourth person who swings between all three other types. Probably mostly either sympath or parasympath but due to early trauma is often totally out of control.<br /><br />Do you think that Beowulf etc were crying due to great stress. If you are fighting all the time then your stress hormones will be high all the time so one way to get rid of these is to cry. <br /><br />I used to be able to cry at the drop of a hat. If anyone showed me the slightest bit of empathy if I was in a difficult situation the tears would flow. Probably because I had spent my whole life waiting for someone to show me some empathy. Now I am getting in touch with all the trauma that caused the situation I find it more difficult to cry. I wonder whether this is because so much is queuing to see the light of day I am too overwhelmed to cry. It's getting better but I do find it strange. planespotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315637682741508786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-56304777680301834702013-10-28T05:44:57.868-07:002013-10-28T05:44:57.868-07:00Art,

Odysseus (the guy who killed a Cyclops and frickin' won the Trojan War) would break down into tears periodically, at least once just because he listened to an emotional song. That's because in ancient Greek culture, "men were expected to cry if their family's honor was at stake." One of the greatest signs of true manliness was to shed tears.<br /><br />Yeah, but that's Greece, right? They were all kinds of androgynous! On the contrary: This idea was spread through most cultures, and continued through the Middle Ages and up to the Romantic Movement. Japanese samurai, medieval heroes and even Beowulf himself cried like babies throughout their adventures. As recently as the 19th century, male tears were actually celebrated as a sign of honesty, integrity and strength. And not in the "you're brave enough to show your weakness" way, but just as a symbol that you actually gave a crap. And it probably also meant you were confident that no one would mock you, since you had just won a battle or torn the limbs off of a monster with your bare hands.<br /><br />http://www.cracked.com/article_19780_5-gender-stereotypes-that-used-to-be-exact-opposite.html#ixzz2iO5S0fUBEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324087416364183818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3420173096635836108.post-43391305441337937922013-10-21T03:40:57.514-07:002013-10-21T03:40:57.514-07:00Art!!

It may be because we go back with the patient into the beginnings of life. If those cells are deficient at the start of therapy they are not deficient after a year of therapy." <br /><br />That is so awesome. Are you referring to old studies or have you done a recent one? Got any acceptable evidence?<br /><br />By the way, I am trying to get permanent residence in the U.S. Hopefully won't be too much longer.... otherwise I will just have to do the therapy in 3 month periods.
