Victorian Frame of Mind
Currently, perhaps the most common reason for intimacy to suffer or vanish entirely is an exclusive focus on someone’s history of past trauma and the resulting issues. Fire in straw will not be hidden, and the flames of affection will burst forth at length, though it be long kept under. Reliving a strong negative emotion causes significant changes in the brain areas that receive nerve signals from the muscles, gut, and skin—areas that are crucial for regulating basic bodily functions. The brain scans, as you recall, showed that recalling an emotional event from the past causes us to actually re-experience the visceral (internal organs) sensations felt during the original event. Each type of emotion produced a characteristic pattern, distinct from the others. For instance, a particular part of the brain stem was active in sadness and anger, but not in happiness or fear. #RandolphHarris 1 of 6
All of these brain regions that produce emotions are below the limbic system, to which emotions are traditionally assigned, yet we acknowledge their involvement every time we use one of the common expressions that ink strong emotions with the body: You make me sick; it made my skin crawl; I was all choked up; my heart sank; he makes me bristle. The elementary self-system in the brain stem and limbic system is massively activated when people are faced with the threat of annihilation, which results in an overwhelming sense of fear and terror accompanied by intense physiological arousal. To people who are reliving a trauma, nothing makes sense; they are trapped in a life-or-death situation, a state of paralyzing fears or blind rage. #RandolphHarris 2 of 6
People who are traumatized have their mind and body constantly aroused, as if they are in imminent danger. They startle in response to the slightest noises and are frustrated by small irritations. Their sleep is chronically disturbed, and food often loses its sensual pleasures. This in turn can trigger desperate attempts to shut those feelings down by freezing and dissociation. How do people regain control when their caveman brains are stuck in a stand your ground or escape for survival mode? If what goes on deep inside our caveman brains dictates how we feel, and if our body sensations are orchestrated by subcortical (subconscious) brain structures, how much control over them can we actually have? #RandolphHarris 3 of 6
Knowing what we feel is the first step to knowing why we feel that way. If we are aware of the constant changes in our inner and outer environment, we can mobilize to manage them. However, we cannot do this unless our watchtower, the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), which controls a person’s personality, learns to observe what is going on inside us. This is why mindfulness practice, which strengthens the MPFC, is a cornerstone of recovery from trauma. However, do not be discouraged. Many people have survived trauma through tremendous courage and persistence, only to get into the same kinds of trouble over and over again. Trauma has shut down their inner compass and robbed them of the imagination they require to create something better. #RandolphHarris 4 of 6
The past is alive in the form of gnawing interior discomfort. Their bodies constantly bombarded by visceral warning signs, and, in an attempt to control these processes, the often become expert at ignoring their gut feelings in numbing awareness of what is played out inside. They learn to hide from themselves. The more people try to push away and ignore internal warning signs, the more likely they are to take over and leave them bewildered, confused, and ashamed. People who cannot comfortably notice what is going on inside or become vulnerable to respond to any sensory shift either by shutting down or by going into a panic—they develop a fear of fear itself. People’s lives will be held hostage to fear until that visceral (internal organs) experience changes. #RandolphHarris 5 of 6
The price for ignoring or distorting the body’s messages is being unable to detect what is truly dangerous or harmful for you and, just as bad, what is safe or nourishing. Self-regulation depends on having a friendly relationship with your body. Without it you have to rely on external regulation—from medication, drugs like alcohol, constant reassurance, or compulsive compliance with the wishes of others. Do not let anyone look down upon you because you are young. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Preserve in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. #RandolphHarris 6 of 6
The Best Institutions are Liable to be Abused
As the best institutions are liable to be abused, so are the best people to be vilified. Wickedness, like a flood, is like to drown our World. Both Justin and Britney had become hypersensitive and irritable after the accident, suggesting that their prefrontal cortex was struggling to maintain control in the face of stress. Justin’s flashback precipitated a more extreme reaction. The two white areas in the front of the brain are the right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. When those areas are deactivated, people lose their sense of time and become trapped in the moment, without a sense of past, present, or future. #RandolphHarris 1 of 8
Two brain systems are relevant for mental processing of trauma: those dealing with emotional intensity and context. Emotional intensity is defined by the Christmas day some alarm, the amygdala, and its counterweight, the watchtower, the medial prefrontal cortex. The context and meaning of an experience are determined by the system that includes the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the hippocampus. The DLPFC is located to the side in the front brain, while the medical prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is the center. The structures along the midline of the brain are devoted to your inner experience of yourself, those on the side are more concerned with your relationship with your surroundings. I will never forget your love, when I am in low spirits, it is you who push black clouds off my heart and bring me lovely Sunlight. #RandolphHarris 2 of 8
The DLPFC tells us how our present experience relates to the past and how it may affect the future—you can think of it as the timekeeper of the brain. Knowing that whatever is happening is finite and will sooner or later come to an end makes most experiences tolerable. The opposite is also true—situations become intolerable if they feel interminable. Most of us know from sad personal experience that terrible grief is typically accompanied by the sense that this wretched state will last forever, and that we will never get over our loss. Trauma is the official experience of this will last forever. #RandolphHarris 3 of 8
Justin’s scan reveals why people can recover from trauma only when the brain structures that were knocked out during the original experience—which is why the event registered in the brain as trauma in the first place—are fully online. Visiting the past in trap therapy should be done while people are, and grounded as possible. (“Grounded” means that you can feel your butt is in your chair, see the light coming through the window, feel the tension in your calves, and hear the wind stirring the tree outside.) Being anchored in the present while revisiting the trauma opens the possibility of deeply knowing that the terrible events belong to the past. For that to happen, the brain’s watchtower, cook, and timekeeper need to be online. Trap therapy would not work as long as people keep being pulled back into the past. #RandolphHarris 4 of 8
When we look at Justin’s brain scans recorded during his flashback, one can see more white holes in the lower half of the brain. These are his right and left thalamus—blanked out during the flashbacks as they were during the original trauma. As I have said, the thalamus functions as a cook—a relay station that collects sensations from the ears, eyes, and skin and integrates them into the soup that is our autobiographical memory. Breakdown of the thalamus explains why trauma is primarily remembered not as a story, a narrative with a beginning, middle, and end, but as isolated sensory imprints: images, sounds, and physical sensations that are accompanied by intense emotions, usually terror and helplessness. #RandolphHarris 5 of 8
It normal circumstances the thalamus also acts as a filter or gatekeeper. This makes it a central component of attention, concentration, and new learning—all of which are compromised by trauma. As you sit there reading, you may hear music in the background or traffic rumbling by or feel a faint gnawing in your stomach telling you it is time for a snack. If you are able to stay focused on this page, your thalamus is helping you distinguish between sensory information that is relevant and information that you can safely ignore. There are ways to strengthen this gating system, which we will explore later. #RandolphHarris 6 of 8
People with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have their floodgates wide open. Lacking a filter, they are on constant sensory overload. In order to cope, they try to shut themselves down and develop tunnel vision and hyperfoucs. If they cannot shut down naturally, they may enlist drugs or alcohol to block out the World. The tragedy is that the price of closing down includes filtering out sources of pleasure and joy, as well. Some gain love for their words and some for their deeds. You gain it for all your love as a great role model for me. #RandolphHarris 7 of 8
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight, and I destroyed my foes. They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—to the LORD, but he did not answer. I beat them as fine as dust borne on the wind; I poured them out like mud in the streets. You have delivered me from the attacks of the people; you have made me the head of nations; people I did not know are subject to me. As soon as they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cringe before me. They all lose heart; they come trembling from their strongholds. The Heaven declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. #RandolphHarris 8 of 8
Creation of the Neon Demon
Goodness affords the only comfort which can be enjoyed without a partner. For now, I want to emphasize that emotion is not opposed to reason; our emotions assign value to experiences and thus are the foundation of reason. Our self-experience is the product of the balance between our rational and our emotional brains. When these two systems are in balance, we feel like ourselves. However, when our survival is at stake, these systems can function relatively independently. #RandolphHarris 1 of 9
If, say, you are driving along, chatting with a friend, and a truck suddenly looms in the corner of your eye, you instantly stop talking, slam on the brakes, and turn your steering wheel to get out of harm’s way. If your instinctive actions have saved you from a collision, you may resume where you left off. Whether you are able to do so depends largely on how quickly your visceral reactions subside to the threat. #RandolphHarris 2 of 9
The relationship between the rational brain and the emotional brain have been compared to a competent riders and his unruly horse. As long as the weather is calm and the path is smooth, the rider can feel in excellent control. However, unexpected sounds or threats from other animals can make the horse bolt, forcing the rider to hold on for dear life. Likewise, when people feel that their survival is at stake or they are seized by rages, longings, fear, or sexual desires, they stop listening to the voice of reason, and it makes little sense to argue with them. Whenever the limbic system decides that something is a question of life or death, the pathways between the frontal lobes and the limbic system become extremely tenuous. #RandolphHarris 3 of 9
Psychologist usually try to help people use insight and understanding to manage their behavior. However, neuroscience research shows that very few psychological problems are the result of defects in understanding; most originate in pressures from deeper regions in the brain that drive our perception and attention. When the alarm bell of the emotional brain keeps signaling that you are in danger, no amount of insight will silence it. Anger-management program participants may extol the virtue of the techniques one’s learned by saying, they are great and work terrific—as long as you are not really angry. #RandolphHarris 4 of 9
When our emotional and rational brains are in conflict (as when we are enraged with someone we love, frightened by someone we depend on, or lust after someone who is off limits), a tug-of-war ensues. This was is largely played out in the theater of visceral experience—your guy, your heart, your lungs—and will lead to both physical discomfort and psychological misery. So when the emotional brain and the rational brain are out of balance, people often experience Depersonalization-derealization disorder. People who suffer from this disorder do not feel like they are in control of their thoughts, mind, nor body. #RandolphHarris 5 of 9
Depersonalization-derealization disorder makes people feel like they are possessed, but unlike traditional possession, these people are aware that they are not themselves nor in control of themselves, so to speak. They feel like they cannot even control their own speech and experience emotional or physical numbness of their senses and response to the World. They may feel like their memories are not theirs and they cannot connect with them emotionally. People suffering from derealization may feel like they are in a movie and they are alienated from and unfamiliar with their surroundings. #RandolphHarris 6 of 9
People who experience head trauma, have served in a war, travel overseas a lot, of have had a near death experience often suffer from derealization disorder. They feel disconnected from the people they care about, like they know them, but no longer know who they are. Their surroundings feel distorted, blurry, colorless, or artificial. These individuals have a heightened sense of awareness and clarity of their surroundings, conversely. Many will feel shifts in perception of time, such as recent events feeling like the distant past. #RandolphHarris 7 of 9
Sometimes when you experience traumatic events and you slowly move beyond them and recover, but then people reenact the painful events or bring them up, and can disrupt your psychological equilibrium and mentally take you back in time to when these feelings and emotions were fresh. You may have been separated from a loved one in the past and gone months without seeing them, but then are reunited. However, this healing may be disrupted when people purposely brings the old memories back up and although the initial trauma happened years ago, and you just saw this person a few days ago, you feel like it has been months, or years and return to that state of shock. #RandolphHarris 8 of 9
Depersonalization-derealization disorder produces a feeling of being separate from self and this feeds a sense of suffering. This type of conflict and suffering is a lot like what babies experience when being born into a new World and that is why they are so sensitive and require so much love and attention to feel safe. What is being generated here are messengers, which signal that misperceptions, introjection, and projections are taking place. However, conflict and suffering are not something to get rid of. Instead, we have to overcome our fears and expose and deconstruct these things that make us feel separated, find peace within ourselves, and the suffering will disappear. This is why some feel comfortable in nature, and exactly why your critics stalk you, so that you cannot come back into equilibrium. #RandolphHarris 9 of 9
Make Sure those Babies have something to Drink this Summer!
Babies are such a joy and a blessing. They are just so cute and delicate and charming. Listening to them laugh, sing, talk, and watching them learn to walk is a joy every parent should experience. As you spend more time in the adult World, one learns to appreciate babies more because they are so innocent, pure, and do not want anything, but your love, attention, protection, food and water. Water is especially important to remember as temperature increase. Many people are aware to remove babies from the back seat of the car, but perhaps some are not sure or even forget to hydrate the cute little darlings when you are pushing them in their stroller or taking them for a walk. #RandolphHarris 1 of 2
Children do not always know when they are thirsty because they are so young and more prone to dehydration than adults. Furthermore, newborn babies cannot regulate their body temperature, so they get overheated easily. Babies under six months usually get all the hydration they require from formula, so check with your pediatrician about giving them water. It is recommended that if they are thirsty to give them formula. As for kids over six months, make sure they have access to water and encourage them to take a water break after an hour of playing outside. Likewise, make sure to check on your child in the stroller to see if he or she requires hydration. #RandolphHarris 2 of 2
It is Noble to See a Man’s Hands Subdued to What He Works in
A vast deal of coolness, and a peculiar degree of judgment, are requisite in catching a hat. For me, it seems like something is missing in my life and sometimes it is hard to enjoy the moment because there are things I want to do and people I want to spend time with and I get anxious and start missing them or desiring their company or wanting to go places to have fun. There is just something so exciting about the nightclub, the light, music blaring through the speakers, and all the people having a good time. However, in order to awaken the unconditioned mind, we are required to live in a state of ongoing completion. We are required to be complete with the past and fearless about the future. When we are complete we do not need to think about what we have done, or what we will be doing. This allows us to fully encounter the next moment.
There are two ways in which we create incompletions. Either we do not do what is required to be done, or we do what does not need to be done. Often we find out why some precious seconds, minutes, hours, or days afterwards, when we sense that we have been careless or unconscious with our words or deeds. When our actions come from the conditioned mind they are not optimally responsive to the requirements of them moment. We are unable to read and respond to the uniqueness of each situation because we were operating from a model of what has worked in the past. However, it is also possible to tune into the present moment with a subtlety and depth that lets us sense the potential of our speech and behavior to condition the future. In fact, this sensitivity and care arises naturally when we connect with the unconditioned mind.
When we grow as a person, traditions and nature of the spiritual path change from one of avoiding suffering and pursuing pleasure to one of expanding our capacity to be present to everything that human life can produce—open to the full force and richness of our conditioned existence. We develop a capacity to receive all experiences without fear or addiction. Suffering is not necessarily something wrong—as something that should not happen to us. Problems are natural. We all suffer, and will learn to handle problems better as we walk down our journey in life. We stop making a problem out of having problems! We accept the basic structure and patterns of our experience—our life circumstances, not in a defeatist way, but with dignity and grace. We welcome what is as a gateway to the unconditioned mind.
When we try to escape the burden of boring and limiting thoughts, it is difficult to be effortlessly present. Initial access to the unconditioned mind can be greatly enhanced by slowing our thinking down so that we feel peaceful and serene. If a person’s thoughts are racy or disturbed, a crucial step is to help them slow down and discover a place where they are more composed and less urgent. We do not need to eliminate thoughts completely. We are just required to arrive at the point where thoughts can float through awareness without producing disturbance. This is called serenity. A heart at ease flies into no extremes-it is ever on its center. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent pleasure.
The most direct and effective way to slow down our thinking is to give ourselves nothing to think about. This is logical. If we have nothing to think about we have fewer thoughts. And thinking about nothing also reveals the unconditioned mind. The two practices support each other. Thoughts are thinned out by not feeding the interpretive process, by not digging for problems, by not offering anything to think about. Stay in intimate communication and relationship without pushing your mind to be so active. You do not have to figure everything out. Just take some time to rest and relax.
Experiences of bliss arise in the slipstream of the unconditioned mind. The supremely blissful state of natural rest—is sublime stability, spontaneously present without having to be cultivated. These experiences occur like clockwork when our thinking slows down and we move into more subtle states of consciousness. These experiences can be profoundly healing, especially for people who deprive themselves of pleasure. They are medicine for the mind and the spirit. They soothe our minds and repair the damage done to our nervous system by pain and trauma. However, like all conditioned experiences, bliss comes and goes. When you are healing, there is still further to go. There is at least this good thing of toil, that it takes the nonsense and fancy-work out of a human, and leaves nothing but what truly belongs to one.
Power without Glory the Hard Way
What interesting pictures of the robust modern humans is that of city dwellers in endless lines of cars moving towards the beaches in search of reasonably clean water, while in a modern World one would expect that we would have a mass transit system to relieve the overcrowded streets of so many vehicles, with people stuck in them, wasting precious time. Humans are social beings, and can provide for their wants much more easily by mutual help, and only by uniting their forces can they escape from the dangers that beset them. #RandolphHarris 1 of 8
Abuse of human and natural resources is a by-product of real achievement, and it is a problem that still must be solved. However, the success of campaigns against disease, maternal and infant mortality, birth defects, threats from natural phenomena, and so on, cannot be minimized. We want no debate with those who insist that man would be better off returning to nature and retreating from the paths of technology. They may be right. Yet, we do feel that the comprehensive picture of the human condition has improved compared to what it was like for the majority six thousand years ago. #RandolphHarris 2 of 8
It is also due to the complexity of man’s nature that the species has been able to develop interpersonal relations. Our relations with other humans are often cruel. Nonetheless, man is capable of greater affection, devotion, love, sacrifice than any other species, at least as far as we can tell. In spite of skyrocketing divorce statistics, the majority of human beings seem to have developed some ability to work on and improve their abilities to love and live together. Man knows more today about communicating and loving than ever before. Still, the fact is that there remain gigantic problems in the World that, but that does not mean that we are not closer to realistic answers. #RandolphHarris 3 of 8
The usual assumption we make is that to achieve career success requires a great deal of continuous investment of thought and energy. Just as every part of your body is interrelated with every other part, so each of us is interrelated and integrated into the larger human system, the society which we are part of. And, by extensions, each society is directly related to every other one, as nation is to nation, continent to continent. The entire planet can be seen officially as a gigantic network or web of interwoven parts. One things you can learn when you study your first spider web is that a slight pressure on any single strand of that web is felt everywhere on it. #RandolphHarris 4 of 8
That is how the spider uses its web: when a bit of food lands there and becomes stuck in the sticky coatings, vibrations travel all along the network, and wherever the spider is sitting in watchful waiting, it picks up these vibrations and gets the message. So it is in the network of the human experiences: pressure on any part of it affect the rest of the web. An Earthquake in San Francisco affects individuals the World over, as does the political-religious conflict going on in Sacramento, the Martian explorations of any nation, the race conflicts in the media are felt all over the World. #RandolphHarris 5 of 8
The network that ties each particle of humankind to every other particle. There are virtually no dark or hidden groups of life on the globe. For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore, consider carefully how you listen. So listen to the word of God, and more understanding will be given to you. However, for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them. When stone age tribes are discovered in the Germany, it is only a matter of time until the entire World knows about them, and the information gleaned from studying their lives provides insight to every culture and nation in the World. #RandolphHarris 6 of 8
This sort of interrelatedness has its disadvantages. Communications media have literally shrunk the distances between individuals and peoples. A decreasing amount of privacy is available to each of us. Is this lack of privacy important? We think so. People derive enormous pleasure from involvement with each other, but each of us also requires time apart, time alone. Our own personal lives are in need of development just as much as our social lives. If privacy is eliminated, what happens to the interior World of each of us? What happens to our peace of mind? These must not be lost in the patterns of growth and ever-increasing interinvolvement. #RRandolphHarris 7 of 8
To me, one of the most baffling aspects of the behavior of men and women in highly-responsible positions in some segments of our society, is their comparative lack of concern for—perhaps it is lack of awareness of—the factor of communication, as such, in the problems and situations in which they have to deal. It is communication that makes human society possible. Children use work to express how they feel, but many adults use words to hide how they feel. I feel completely integrated. My interest in literature arose from my experiences in life and from my political experience and beliefs. I can say that the theory of love and conflict within people and between people made this all possible. #RandolphHarris 8 of 8

Take Pride in Your Work and You Will be Successful
Sometimes individuals have jobs that lack challenge and variety, but everyone likes a career that satisfies our requirement for novelty and achievement. In situations like these, one is required to expend additional psychic energy to reap the desired benefits. Without some effort, a dull job will stay dull. The basic solution is quite simple, it involved paying close attention to each step involved in the job, and then asking: Is this step necessary? Who needs it? If it is really necessary, can it be done better, faster, more efficiently? What additional steps could make my contribution more valuable? #RandolphHarris 1 of 10
Our attitude to work usually involves spending a lot of effort trying to cut corners and do as little as possible. However, that is a short-sighted strategy. If one spent the same amount of attention trying to find ways to accomplish more on the job, one would enjoy working more—and probably be more successful at it, too. The pressure to perform can easily generate shame, and the presence of shame makes it harder to adequately perform which just catalyzes more shame. Part of what is required here is to know the particular origins of the pressure to perform. #RandolphHarris 2 of 10
Even some of the most important discoveries come about when scientist, paying attention to a routine process, notices something new and unusual that is required to be explained. Wilhelm C. Roentgen discovered radiation when he noticed that some photographic negatives showed signs of being exposed even in the absence of light; Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when he noticed that bacterial cultures were less dense on dishes that had not been cleaned and were moldy; Rosalyn Yalow discovered the radioimmunoassay technique after she noticed that diabetics absorbed insulin slower than normal patients, instead of faster, as it had been assumed. #RandolphHarris 3 of 10
In all these cases—and the records of science are full of similar one—a humdrum event is transformed into a major discovery that changes the way we live because someone paid more attention to it than the situation seemed to require. If Archimedes, lowering himself into the bath, had only thought, “Darn, I got the floor wet again, what will the missus say?” humankind might have had to wait another few hundred years to understand the principle of fluid displacement. #RandolphHarris 4 of 10
As Rosalyn Yalow describes her own experience: “Something comes up, and you recognize that it has happened.” Sounds simple, but most of us are usually too distracted to recognize when something happens. As minute changes can result in great discoveries, so small adjustments can turn a routine job, one dreads, into a professional performance one can look forward to with anticipation each morning. #RandolphHarris 5 of 10
First, one must pay attention so as to understand thoroughly what is ha ppening is the only way to do the job; then one is required to entertain alternatives and to experiment with them until a better way is found. When employees are promoted to more challenging positions, it usually is because they followed these steps in their previous jobs. However, even if no one else notices, the worker who uses psychic energy this way will have a more satisfying job. #RandolphHarris 6 of 10
One of the clearest examples I have ever seen was when I did research in a factory where audiovisual equipment was being assembled on a production line. Most of the workers on the line were bored and looked down on their job as something beneath them. Then I met Matthew, who had a completely different take on what he was doing. He actually thought his job was difficult, and that it took a great skill to do it. It turned out he was right. Although he had to do the same job as everyone else, he had trained himself to do it with the economy and the elegance of a master. #RandolphHarris 7 of 10
About four hundred times a day, a movie camera would stop at his station, and Matthew had forty-three seconds to check out whether the sound system met specifications. Over a period of years, experimenting with tools and patterns of motion, he had been able to reduce the average time it took him to check each camera to twenty-eight seconds. He was as proud of this accomplishment as an Olympic athlete would be if, after the same number of years spent preparing, he could break the forty-four second mark in the 400-meter sprint. #RandolphHarris 8 of 10
Matthew did not get a medal for his achievement, and reducing the time to go his job did not improve production, because the line still kept moving at the same old speed. However, he loved the exhilaration of using his skills fully: “It is better than anything else—a whole lot better than watching TV.” And because he sensed that he was getting close to his limit in the present job, he was taking evening courses for a diploma that would open up new options for him in electronic engineering. #RandolphHarris 9 of 10
It will come as no surprise that the same type of approach is required for solving the problem of stress at work, since stress is detrimental to achieving flow. In common usage, the work stress applies both to the tensions we feel, and to its external causes. This ambiguity leads to the erroneous assumption that external stress must be inevitably result in psychic discomfort. However, here again, there is no one-to-one relations between the objective and the subjective; external stress (which to avoid confusion we might call strain) need not lead to negative experiences. It is true that people feel anxious when they perceive the challenges and skills rests on a subjective evaluation that is amenable to change. #RandolphHarris 10 of 10
Where did you People get this Wisdom and these Miraculous Powers?
Fieldwork is a hallmark of journalism. Living with men, women and children—experiencing their work, social patterns, thoughts, and values—is one of the characteristics that often distinguishes our approach from that of other social sciences. Journalism is currently coming out of an era of hiring people not based on talent, but because of whom they are and who they know, which actually took away the credibility and academic focus of the news. In other words, the television news is moving back to the former model, where people were hired because of their skills, credentials and talents. This will actually improve the quality of news and reporters that come across your screen. Because hiring based on nepotism, established priorities and limited the availability of trained journalist and researchers. Although many reporters have emphasized the nation’s desire to drive toward modernization, some government leaders (Jerry Brown of California) still express concern about the possible emergence of a scholarly elite media, committed to challenging the present political direction of California. However, journalism cannot be separated from politics, and its impact on living and non-animated objects. Needless to say, questions of objectivity, in the development and utilization of knowledge, are raised in the United States of America, and other countries, too. A well-known example, in America, is the heated debated carried on by members of various newsrooms, and financial societies, on the role of retirement and pensions. The dollar lost 92 percent of its purchasing power, after World War II (1945) to the 2015. Therefore, the federal government’s recent policies are focusing only on current employment, and are crippling many retirees.
When you retire, your income is fixed, which means it does not really change, you have a set amount of money to live off of, until your body and mind retires. Therefore, skyrocketing prices of food, housing, clothes, and energy really hurt those who are retired, and they do not drive much, so do not really notice a reduction in fuel cost. Not only that, but the federal guarantee program, for private pensions, plans is running a $62 billion deficit, with many multi-employer pension funds expected to go bankrupt in the next ten years, and this will put many retirees at risk, and will soon wipe out much of the savings of millions of people in America. Keep in mind the Federal government is only funded through 2015 September 15, and then it runs the risk of shutting down. As a result, Administrations may be forced to print and distribute trillions of dollars in fiat currency over the next decade, which could lead to hyperinflation. Although Earthquakes can wreak much havoc, on a society, much like the billion dollar Napa Earthquake of 2014 August 24, they have the beneficial byproduct of providing much useful data for seismologist. The data can then illuminate theories, and help society predict and deal with future threats. Similarly, hyperinflations offer monetary economist a natural experiment they can use to study the changes in the money supply and price level of the economy. Hyperinflation is a situation where the inflation exceeds 50 percent per month. This means that the price level will increase more than 100-fold over the course of a year. Therefore, when the central bank increases the money supply rapidly, the result is a high rate of inflation. So basically, in 2015, car may cost $45,000.00, but with hyperinflation, it would cost $4,500,000.00 the next year. However, wages and transfer payments will no keep up. For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them, reports Jesus Christ.
Developing countries, like America, could improve their standard of living without succumbing to the myriad of problems that come with expanding urbanization. Including its attendant dislocation and unemployment, heavy industrialization, with its heightened exploitation of the rural sector; increased economic dependence on outside capital, with the all-too-frequent inflationary spiral that accompanies it. The only way to improve life, and avoid hyperinflation is by not having money be the focus of your life.Yes, you still need to work, and pay bills, but learn to trade, save and enjoy free aspects of life. What I mean buy that is if you have a friend who knows how to paint, and you are an accountant, maybe they can paint your house and you do their taxes. That was you are not adding to hyperinflation by using fiat currency. Another thing you could do is stop buying cars, and technology (phones) unless you really need them. Yes, you have an extra hundred dollars, but the goal is to live life debt free. Pay off your debts and only buy what you need. You can also take a brown bag lunch to work, and eat outside with your co-workers and friends. The less debt you make, the better off you are. I will be honest; I think the community is improving vastly. Everyone, no matter race, culture, gender, or creed seems to be comfortable, happy or contempt. They are all getting along well, and respecting each other, and it is so nice. Not to mention, the city is beautiful. You walk into the stores, like Safeway, and they treated you like an honored guest. Men open doors for women, and people go to the park to just sit down and read books. I am completely overwhelmed by the transformation of the city of Sacramento going back to its former glory. People come here and it is so peaceful they think it is a ghost town.
There are a lot of breathtaking sights, and the educational institutions have some of the best perspective students, teachers, administrators, and other participants. Cosumnes River College is a great school. I know a lot of people try to make people feel ashamed to go to a junior college by saying it is for low income students, or people who are not too serious, but that is just to discount the value of your experience and education. However, blessed are your eyes because they see and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the truth, many students and professors longed to see what you see, but did not see it, and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it. Listen then to what the parable of this paragraph means. I have gone to college in China, and at Cosumnes River College, and at Sac State and even taken a class at University of Irvine, and the UCI, CRC and Beijing Language and Culture University off a very similar style of education. They want to make sure you are prepared for an Ivy League education. Junior colleges actually get compliments about how well prepared their students are and how they actually read the books from cover to cover and actively participate in lectures. The good men and women bring out the good that is stored in them. Behind me is infinite power. Before me is endless possibility. Around me is boundless opportunity. Why should I fear? A career is only one of the major challenges of adulthood; we will focus more on that later. However, I wanted to get back to the economy and tell you, do not let it stress you out, nor worry too much. Do your best to make money, cut unnecessary expenses and save money. The Earth has been around for 5 billion years, and people used to life off the land for free.
As long as the Earth is spinning, human life will go on. Instead of focusing on what someone does for a living or how much they make, get to know them as a person. Find out what they like, what they watched on TV and why they liked it. What are their hobbies, you know, really try to connect with people. Also, you may even want to get a book about communication or appropriate things to say at the water cooler. Also, remember, no one likes to feel bad or be made fun of. Park the sarcasm and move on. We are all trying to break out of a seriously flawed life structure, and 2015 is about starting over and being happy and peaceful. We are trying to rebuild the last 13 years. The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went out and sold all he had and bought that field. Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. Once again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a net that was let down into the Sacramento River and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fisherman pulled it on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. This is how it will be at the end of age, and that is why I am telling you not to worry so much about money, fait currency and finances. Do your best, but do not worry because the angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw the unlovely into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Have you understood all of these things? Therefore, every teacher of the law, who has been instructed about the kingdom of Heaven, is like the owner of a house, who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as historical ones.
