Metamorphosis

img_3089Fall…it came before I had a chance to say good bye to summer
The pumpkins carved for Halloween have morphed into monsters–all black and compressed
The leaves and flowers that existed against the lovely summer backdrop have drooped as if they have been forced to tragically give up their majesty and beauty
No more warmth of the summer sun in which to bathe
They pitifully struggle against the encroaching crisp air
Clearly no hope for survival
 
They started as seeds set so lovingly in the soil.
At first, it seems as if they are being ruined
The seed broken
Then bursting forth and completely changing and transforming
Into something it never could have become without first the destruction of the self
 
First a tiny sign of life then a leaf or a stem
And in the splendor of the summer breeze, a flower
Bearing no resemblance to that seed first put into the ground
It’s very existence dependent upon something that is consumed in the process
The seed having given itself over completely to the plant which bears the amazing flower.
 
The undeniable transformation set against a crisp blue summer sky
Bears all the signs of never ending growth and development
The seed consumed to make the plant, the plant consumed to make the flower and the flower finally consumed to produce the seed again
Seasons change and the circle must start anew
The seed has brought forth a flower which in turn brings forth a seed
 
And so ends this part of the cycle
The seed must then go forth
In its own time…
And bloom

Cell Phones Not As Safe As We Think

I am writing this post to inform those individuals who need to know this–and that includes absolutely every living thing on the planet–that research is mounting telling us that we need to be cautious of our exposures to wireless radiation. We must not assume that we are safe because the product is available to us. Remember that cigarettes were available to us. Asbestos was put in schools. Doctors smoked in their offices and in hospital rooms too. Moms were prescribed Thalidomide. We are slowly realizing all the damage that has been done to us and continues to be done to us from “legal” and “safe” products. To hammer this home simply look at all the law suits against drugs that were once touted as perfectly safe Vioxx has reportedly killed over 60,000 people. It was “tested” and deemed safe). Now you vaccination is causing immune issues and your acid reflux medicine might be causing dementia.

Martin Cooper who was a scientists working for Motorola made the first successful cell phone call in 1973 using a portable handset. In 1979 trials of this product began and in 1987 an explosion had occurred. An explosion of usage that has not slowed since. The penetration of this product is like none other in the history of man. We have more subscriptions for wireless phones than we have people on the planet.

All this exposure is causing damage to life as we know it. The Department of Interior has written our own FCC to tell them they must reassess exposure levels as current levels are adversely affecting trees, plants, fish, frogs, birds, bees and any other living thing you can think of. If that is happening to our environment–what is happening to us?

Well, some would say nothing! Most of those reports come directly from the wireless industry OR the research THEY fund. There is a huge industry bias . About 75% of the research NOT funded by the industry finds serious affects from this kind of exposure. However, interestingly enough–the industry funded research finds about 75% that there is NO concern or worry. Reminds me of the tobacco industry, asbestos industry, lead, mercury…

In  2011 IARC classification of cell phone radiation as a possible carcinogen was based on the limited evidence from human studies and limited evidence from animal studies. The WHO (World Health Organization) made exposures like that from smart phones and other wireless devices such as ipads, tablets, cordless phones, and wifi a class 2b possible carcinogen. BUT the group of scientists most known for working in the non ionizing area or research are asking that that classification be revised given the newest research being unveiled. These scientists are asking for this classification to be upgraded to ‘probable’ carcinogen or carcinogen

A quote from Microwave News  says that of the recent research studies causing most interest and concern is the  National Toxicology Program study that has been released. This study has such profound impact that they released this portion of the study early because of its significance and importance. The study shows that cell phone radiation exposure is associated with tumors of the brain and heart. The brain tumors are the most aggressive kind of cancer. The fact that even if a small percentage are affected–given the number of users–it will still be a significant amount. 

“Importantly, the exposed rats were found to have higher rates of two types of cancers: glioma, a tumor of the glial cells in the brain, and malignant schwannoma of the heart, a very rare tumor. None of the unexposed control rats developed either type of tumor.

A number of epidemiological studies have linked cell phones to both gliomas and to Schwann cell tumors. The Interphone study, for instance, found an association between the use of cell phones and gliomas.” Other studies have had similar findings  Epidemiological studies have found an increase in these same types of cancers. Coincidence? Not likely. So we have studies showing how cell phone radiation breaks the blood brain barrier, is neurotoxic and genotoxic. It actually damages DNA similarly to how X Rays damage it. It has been shown that it damages sperm, fertility, immune function, thinking and memory, alters protein production in the brain and a vast host of other problems.

Any doubts as to whether this is safe should be shelved at this time and the precautionary principle should be instituted. When dose response is established and numerous studies have been replicated, it’s time to take action.

Trying To Understand The Personality Disordered Individual–Narcissism, Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy.

O.K. I have written several long posts about narcissistic people/relationships. This is a short one. I realize that since the narcissist, antisocial personality disordered person or the psychopath is multifaceted, one post will not give much insight into them. So…there will be multiple posts to educate and explain and expose!

One of the very frustrating things about these types of people is that they want so badly to project to the world everything they wish they were but know are not. However, they will not try to actually develop the qualities they covet–like loyalty, honesty, empathy, loving, caring–they would seemingly rather spend their time creating false situations where they display these qualities.

They seem to be trapped between admiring or coveting these qualities and hating and being repulsed by them. They would rather spend time and energy tricking people into believing they possess these qualities as opposed to actually working on developing these qualities. It seems like they enjoy the game of tricking people even while their own pathology tugs away at them inside to want to have, possess, or “own” these qualities.

They hate those possessing the qualities they covet but they are drawn to them nonetheless. For the individual with the coveted qualities–this is a death sentence. Once the personality disordered individual gets their hooks into you–they will make you pay for having the very qualities that attracted them to you in the first place. They will try to crush those qualities out of you while claiming them for themselves. It makes no sense and that is why most, if not all, victims of a personality disordered individual suffers from confusion, stress, and anxiety.

Our minds want to make sense of a senseless circumstance. We try to understand something that is pathological and not understandable but our minds keep trying and trying–often times this is an involuntary response. We begin to lose control of our thinking as our mind hunts and hunts for a reason,  an answer, or a cause.

Once you catch on to what is happening to you–you try to escape. That is a topic for another day. But when you try to escape or you do escape–you will find that the personality disordered individual has co-opted your personality. They have become you–or a very twisted and transparent version of you. Although this will feel like soul-rape, it is actually the closest thing you will get to a complement from the disordered person. They hate you, they are repulsed by you, they covet you, and they are jealous of you–all at once!

With pathology, there is no reason, answer, or cause that the victim can find to warrant such horrific treatment by someone who claimed that they loved you. The victims are left to ponder a whole new paradigm of thinking, living, and being. Once you have been touched by this particular evil–you are never the same again.
