Dissociation - The Abrupt Mood Change

Society is today extensively an area of escape mechanisms. And here is how some of them operate. The person who is unhappy in his personal life, who is not satisfied, whose conduct has been such that he is a failure as a human being or is too selfish and self-centered to try and fulfil the simple natural processes of living, gradually develops an intense success mania. Happy people don't care so much whether they are the chairman of the board or not. Top spots in human industry, merchandising, in the professions of law and politics, are many of them held by miserable individuals.

That may be one of the reasons why things don't run more smoothly for if authority is invested in an unhappy person who is poorly oriented, naturally the projects will not go well. To the degree an individual is unable to find pleasant living doing simple kindly things to that degree he buries himself in some type of a project. If his various associates don't hold his interest or become obnoxious towards him, he plans activities which cuts him away from them. The person who is unhappy wishes to find a way to forget himself. Because he is unhappy, he also wants to hit back. There is nothing a miserable person finds more objectionable than happy people around him because they have something that he doesn't; peace of mind. Serotonin is released when you are happy. Dopamine is released when you feel pleasure.Escape mechanism also run to alcohol. The alcoholic is always somebody running away from something. And while very often the alcoholic won't admit it, it's essentially true. Many persons wonder why some moderate drinkers become alcoholics and others do not. The answer is pressure. If for instance, a person drinks just because it is considered socially required, he may suffer from alcohol but he will not become an alcoholic. 


Alcoholism is simply a phase of man's subconscious suicidal instinct. Therefore, nearly all escapes have something of self-destruction lurking in them somewhere. The tyrant realizes that he is in constant danger of being killed and yet as a calculated risk, he would rather gain his escape purposes than face this end as Hilter did in the bunker under Berlin.

It was the mere final culmination of the individual running away from himself. Death comes as a symbol of the escape of the individual from all responsibility and all condemnation or criticism. Tupac said, "anyone with thug-life tattooed on his stomach feels guilty." That artist rapped heavily about death, being high till he dies, saying "his every move is a calculated step to bring him closer to embrace an early death." Most people have been brought up to speak kindly of the dead. Tupac who is subject to criticism which he may justly deserve felt that in death he may no longer be criticized for his career in the dope game. There are all kinds of obscure pressures that influence this situation. Happiness is not achieved by escaping the "Myself", from running away from the "Self"; instead, it would be interesting to confront oneself boldly, to observe the "I", to study it in order to discover the causes of suffering. When we discover the real cause of so much misery and bitterness, then obviously, we can do something about it. If one manages to finish with the "Myself", with "My Getting Drunk", with "My Vices", with "My Affections" which are so painful in my heart, with those worries that are ravaging my brains and making me ill, etc, etc; clearly, then, that which is timeless comes, that which is beyond the body, affections and the mind, that which is truly unknown to the understanding and is called: HAPPINESS!

When I am Weak, Then I am Strong

Adam was a master teacher who named all animals according to their nature. He gave the snake its name not only due to its beguiling wisdom which it exhibited when it tricked Eve, but also because of its sophistication, insight, and right discernment. A little-known fact is that the serpent uses its belly to sense an earthquake days before it occurs and it is out of right discernment that it maneuvers through its rocky habitat without ever being cut. After Eve took some of the forbidden fruits and ate them, she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate too. Consequently, Adam became guilty of ushering sin into the world because he sinned with eyes wide open, unlike Eve who was deceived. Sin brought death with it. Death spread to all men because all men have sinned [Rom 5:12]. Our condition is so desperate that, biblically speaking, we cannot overcome it alone [Jere 13:23]. There is no moral philosophy, mental exercise, or group therapy that can get rid of this sinful n...

Love in SWS & Show-offism

Neely Fuller, Jr. — 'If you don't understand white supremacy/racism ,everything that you know will only confuse you. Black people have a habit of talking about black love which is something absolutely false because it cannot exist in the system of white supremacy in which in many cases black people don't even like each other. Reckon how legendary black on black crime is. Black people are prisoners of war and in the united-independent compensatory code, Neely Fuller informs all captives that this meaninglessly thrown around word called love is synonymous with justice. You can't have one without the other hence you can't have justice and white supremacy in the same universe at the same time. Consequently, you can't have love either since love and justice are the same. Justice is guaranteeing that no person is mistreated and guaranteeing that the person that needs the help most gets the most constructive help. Now no black person can guarantee that. White supremacy...
