Fill it up, so I can’t speak
I’d rather sleep

people just are not good to each other

““Hear this or not, as you will. Learn it now, or later — the world has time. Routine, repetition, tedium, monotony, ephemeracy, inconsequence, abstraction, disorder, boredom, angst, ennui — these are the true hero’s enemies, and make no mistake, they are fearsome indeed. For they are real.””

The Tibetan Sand Mandala,

The art of sand mandala’s or sand painting is a Tibetan Buddhist tradition that goes back centuries and can be traced to the first monasteries of Tibet. Literally made of dyed sand, these large mandalas are often very ornate and extremely beautiful, depicting colorful geometric shapes, Buddhist Deities, religious iconography, and Tibetan historical figures. The act of creating a sand mandala is akin to meditation as creating such incredible artwork literally one grain of sand at a time takes an incredible amount of focus and discipline. Not to mention, it usually takes several weeks or months to create a proper mandala. Often monks pray or recite ancient chants while working to help focus the mind.

Perhaps the most incredible aspect of this tradition is what is done after the mandala is completed. After all the rituals and ceremonies are completed and the mandala serves no other useful purpose, it is swept up and the mandala is deconstructed, with the sand being returned back to nature. This is symbolic of the impermanence of all things. After all the great philosopher Kerry Livgren (Kansas) once wrote, “all we are is dust in the wind.”

“And the speaking will get easier and easier. And you will find you have fallen in love with your own vision, which you may never have realized you had. And you will lose some friends and lovers, and realize you don’t miss them. And new ones will find you and cherish you.”

“When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”

- Audre Lorde

Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Thu, 16 May 2013 07:42:00 -0400

Symptoms of this disorder, as defined by the DSM-IV-TR, include:

Takes advantage of others to reach own goals
Expects to be recognized as superior and special, without superior accomplishments
Expects constant attention, admiration and positive reinforcement from others
Envies others and believes others envy him/her
Is preoccupied with thoughts and fantasies of great success, enormous attractiveness, power, intelligence
Lacks the ability to empathize with the feelings or desires of others
Is arrogant in attitudes and behavior
Has expectations of special treatment that are unrealistic

In addition to these symptoms, other studies show that significant “internal emotional distress, interpersonal vulnerability, fear, pain, anxiety, a sense of inadequacy, and depressivity can also co-occur with narcissistic personality functioning”.

The symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder can be similar to the traits of individuals with strong self-esteem and confidence; differentiation occurs when the underlying psychological structures of these traits are considered pathological. Narcissists have such an elevated sense of self-worth that they value themselves as inherently better than others, when in reality they have a fragile self-esteem, cannot handle criticism, and will often try to compensate for this inner fragility by belittling or disparaging others in an attempt to validate their own self-worth. It is this tendency that is characteristic of narcissism that is not seen in healthy people.
