"I will survive"

Do you think, dear readers, that our ideas can survive time and space?
I was just watching an episode of the Larry King Live show and the Beatles were on stage (Paul and Ringo). There was a time when these guys were kings of the world, in a way, massive influence, audience etc. They don't like exactly like that now - but they have made their impact.
What I'm wondering is, where is the impact of people live on? Is it on pages, in thoughts, on the internet, or whatever? It's funny to think about how much possibility humans have and how our influence varies depending on the medium.
I'd love to conceptualize this further into like a physics equation - how much energy and connection happens when I do something here, and how much of it gets felt by others when it is written/done in another medium. It is so interesting because now we can actually have better measurements so that we know more of our actions and the corresponding reactions.
It is as if the wolrd is becoming so integrated and so understood on the micro and macro scopic levels that we can actualyl detect, predict, change, choose, and do just about anything - but also being fully aware of actual human limitations.
What that begs is the question - I will survive, but how?

Ahh nahh

We are ALL affected by feelings
-WHY no admit it?

the point is - everyone has memories, thoughts, and histories connected with feelings; they are lodged in our brain and permeate everything, even when we are not aware of them. everything is so very connected.
deduction- if we can understand how these influence we can all change our lives. think of every person that does not want to change, everyone that has hurt you, think of yourself. everything you have done, or not done. there are things about all of this matter that are influenced by our feelings. so WHY WHY WHY not understand them better, eh? =)
let me just say - we can change the world one person at a time.

brain-based

The brain, I think, is like the entire earth or even perhaps the solar system-universe in that it connects and reconnects, changes and stays stable, and adjusts for all type of environmental shifts. Think about it - every time something happens in your mind the different neurons, memories, and all else included (forgive my currently weak understanding of neorology) change. You think/feel differently depending on what is happening; In other words the brain is like a huge organ that allows us to adapt to so many settings - this is quite like the universe except much more fast paced.

no?

the New muddled World

This week we are working on a new feature-->answering the questions of our dear readers. Please look at the post below; this is our first example:

Dear psychotherapy world;
I am confused- now that I'm finally working and making some money, I'm realizing that work is tough, demanding and changing. It's constantly on my mind and sometimes I get really nervous before I leave my house. Who knows what will happen and how I will feel.
Please help, Rancourously Confused, Somewhere in the USA

Dear Rancourously:

I can certaintly understand the pressures of work. It IS tough to go to work everyday and contribute something to the everchanging massivecomplex society that we currently live in. However, I beg you to consider this: while you are just beggining your work life and are facing some turbulance please be also aware that you are doing what you can with the means that are available. You are working, every decision you make has an impact, and you can be proud of the fact that with the little power you have now you are doing what you can. Please carry on this spirit and continue to thrive. Like Bob Marley said: "You can be loved"

We hope to hear more comments and concerns from our readers, and we thank Rancourously for being the brave first to open up this feature of goAnton.

goodbye

Mind you baby

"Psychological mindedness"

where does it begin? what defines the continuum of this amazing quality? and What is it!?

in this little draft I'd like to define for myself, and anyone listening, the theory I've come to use to define this phenomenon.

first: it is the ability to think about stuff psychologically, in other words to consider something from the psychological perspective; in contrast to a religious, philosophical, mathematical, whatever else.
second: it is something that must be developed through education and training-even Freud took some time to fully develop his capacity to describe and think about things psychologically
on the neural level: I don't yet know this, can you fill me in?
lastly: when you develop this quality or meet someone who has developed it well, psychotherapy takes on an entirely different level. now you or this other person can consider things in the realm of psychology and define meanings, things, etc from this point of view. a nice and unique addition to human thinking abilities.

I've been thinking recently, what is the appeal of psychology over other disciplines. It certaintly isn't the oldest, doesn't explain everything, and is only applicable in certain safe and semi regulated environments. However, think of its power and its ability to change perception.
That is a big deal.
