Entering Pagan Chat 1...

 janiepop: ahhh there you are

 janiepop: I was put into pagan 2

 janiepop: lol

 eternumpace: yeah. so was I

 janiepop: the poor folks there musta thought I'd flipped

 janiepop: I was aksing them was it you by another name lol

 eternumpace: i was there, but ciara seemed afk

 janiepop: I don't know if I got an answer

 janiepop: lol

 eternumpace: i wouldn't really mind cc all that much if it weren't for that sleuth fellow. he creeps me out.

 eternumpace: big time

 janiepop: does he

 janiepop: what is it about him

 eternumpace: he is creepy

 janiepop: that creeps you out

janiepop: creepy ?

 janiepop: anyone who is obvious doesn't creep me out

 eternumpace: i'm not sure. the way he talks to people. just a feeling i get. i don't think he is a bad person.

 eternumpace: disengenuous

 eternumpace: reminds me of other sociopaths i have met in my travels

 janiepop: sure

 janiepop: he likes to rule the roost

 eternumpace: very much so

 janiepop: I trust your judgement

 janiepop: he wouldn't like you

 eternumpace: he doesn't lol

 eternumpace: and i'm glad

 janiepop: he would find you wat too challenging

 janiepop: way

 janiepop: and you are male

 eternumpace: thank you for your vote of confidence. that makes me feel much

better

 janiepop: that would be pretty scary

 janiepop: he can dismiss women

 janiepop: but sensible articulate men ...woowwo

 eternumpace: omg that scares  me so much for some reason, almost irrationally so

 janiepop: he can't say anything crude to put you off

 eternumpace: reminds me of my father

 janiepop: o no

 eternumpace: lol o yes

 janiepop: he puts women off easily

 janiepop: he just degrades them

 eternumpace: you seem to have a pretty good take on him. that shouldn't be surprisng i suppose

 janiepop: sexually usually

 eternumpace: he is an interesting case i suppose *grin

 janiepop: he is a case for sure

janiepop: but the problem is this

 janiepop: he's pretty knowledgeable

 janiepop: and when he's making sense

 janiepop: he's making sense lol

 janiepop: and I'm a sucker for sense

 janiepop: lol

 eternumpace: mmm. yes.

 eternumpace: that is why i am so familiar with that. a carbon copy of my father

 janiepop: especially when it comes to God perspectives

 eternumpace: you learn not to argue self evident truth

 eternumpace: is that not typical of social pathology though?

 janiepop: babe can I borrow that line

 janiepop: what a gem

 eternumpace: it is actually a type of rhetoric i have named for that reason. i call it contradition

 janiepop: you learn not to argue self evident truth

janiepop: I love it

 janiepop: yes chicken it all comes from the ..........

 eternumpace: contradition is simply supporting an emotional falsity with truth

 janiepop: fill in the dots lol

 janiepop: all the rhetoric comes from the ..........

 janiepop: and not the ...........

 eternumpace: contradition is a form of irony

 eternumpace: imo

 janiepop: I quite agree

 eternumpace: and irony fits my liberal perspective of pathology which is anything or process emblematic of the spirit of nature

 janiepop: I know sleuth now

 eternumpace: haha

 janiepop: he does respind to humour

 eternumpace: yes. i have noticed that too

 eternumpace: at times

 eternumpace: others it disappears like a dress on prom night

eternumpace: of course, i didn't go to my prom so that is an entirely figurative analogy

 janiepop: ooooo

 janiepop: I like it

 janiepop: never heard that expression

 eternumpace: i received some free eckankar stuff in the mail. it's pretty neat. but that is probably as much as I want to get involved with it for now

 janiepop: I told sleuth yesterday ......liberals have limits

 janiepop: and I have reached mine lol

 janiepop: I think I've got that addictive thingggy

 janiepop: when you can't stop doing something like gambling

 janiepop: your brain does an incorrect mental calcluation of the odds

 eternumpace: at times when i have made simply point of reference to his compete lack of humility, he has completely lost the mask. next time i should tell him that i will pray to the holy governor of Utah for his dearly departed sense of humour

 janiepop: lol

 eternumpace: janie, are you talking about a "compulsion"?

 janiepop: yes the compulsion to retun to CC

 eternumpace: fight it *

 janiepop: to see if it will be better this time lol

 eternumpace: don't go to the dark side

 eternumpace: "the dark side clouds everything" yoda

 eternumpace: how is your husband?

 janiepop: it's ok I heavily identify with the jedi

 eternumpace: that's good :-)

 janiepop: my husband is ok

 eternumpace: good good

 janiepop: he gave his own blood yesterday

 eternumpace: my husband is ok, too

 eternumpace: ah. givin some back. that reminds me. i should do that soon

 eternumpace: i had to wait a year or so after my tattoo

 janiepop: this is fro his surgery

 janiepop: yes sure

eternumpace: you wouldn't believe how beautiful it is where i am right now, janie

 janiepop: tell me about it ..in greatdetail

 eternumpace: well, i don't have a lot to do in my life but what i do occupy myself with i really enjoy. these days, i walk to the local university and hack in to the computer and sit down and today i look out the window at the campus the distant summit of mt. baker trees, clouds and a lone bald eagle circling overhead in hte distance

 eternumpace: i love this place. i have quite taken to the appreciation of beauty in my late years hehe

 janiepop: glorious

 janiepop: me too re nature

 eternumpace: and i am feeling esp. exhuberent today because i halved my medication to the lowest dosage and now i don't feel so groggy

 eternumpace: yes. nature is always there when you need her

 janiepop: thanks be

 janiepop: re dose

janiepop: may I ask what are you taking re meds

 eternumpace: sure. 25 mg zoloft for depression

 janiepop: ok

 eternumpace: it is working well

 janiepop: great

 eternumpace: i was wondering

 janiepop: anything else ?

 eternumpace: my shrink  would not comment on this (probably fo rmy own benefit) but i will ask you

 eternumpace: no, no other meds

 janiepop: go for it

 janiepop: ask away if I know the a I will say lol

 eternumpace: the front of head and or brain has always (since childhood) had an adverse reaction to oblique angles and architectural ements in my field of vision

 eternumpace: elements

 eternumpace: my question to my doctor was whether this was somatic or whethere it was cognitive or whether it was brain damage from birth

 

 

eternumpace: hello, janiepop. how things today in your neck of the woods?

janiepop: ok and you

janiepop: where are ya hun

janiepop: come to CC for some stooopid conversation ...not

eternumpace: no thank you. don't feel like it today. I am in canada. its a good day here.

janiepop: howdy

janiepop: time for a chat

janiepop: ?

eternumpace: i'm in pagan chat all by my lonesome.

janiepop: I'll come there

janiepop: if you like

janiepop: or here

eternumpace: that would be good. yes.

janiepop: your call

janiepop: ok see you soon

eternumpace: hey

eternumpace: pick up the phone

janiepop: are you floating ?

eternumpace: yes. i guess

janiepop: you are still up here on the listbut not in the room ?

janiepop: I am sorry that I don't know the answer to your question

eternumpace: yeah. i lost the room for some reason

janiepop: would it be easier somehow if you knew the answer or at least an hypothesis

eternumpace: yes. my GP mentioned possible brain damage then got all shy about it when i asked him later, so I suppose he was deferring to mental health

eternumpace: an earlier shrink i had said it was a clear indication of schizophrenia but what does that really mean i wonder

janiepop: what do you think you have mate ?

janiepop: mate being a term of endearment

eternumpace: i think its brain damage and that some cognitive function has responded to it and that i have a sense of social avoidance fostered by my parents emotional problems, no the least of which be alcholism which might be interpreted as schizophrenia since so many things can be.

janiepop: well hun you could very well be right and probably are

eternumpace: and that even if i do have schizophrenia, the depression aside, i would tend to side with the humanist perspective that, rather than being a form of insanity, schizphrenia, at least in my case, is a kind of manic or hypersanity

eternumpace: i don't really believe that anyone who has ever really known me would say that i have ever been delusional, at least, not any more than anyone else lol

eternumpace: well, i respect yoru opinion a lot. ty

janiepop: hun I am in no postion to tell ......what they label you is irrelevant to me and how we chat

janiepop: you seem like a wonderful kind funny smart and sensitive young man to me

eternumpace: i'm not so worried about the labels either, not anymore. if anything i think they are positive additions to my burgeoning self awareness

janiepop: labels are useful

eternumpace: well, i do so appreciate your poisitive affirmations of me. it makes chatting all the worth while since i spend so much time by myself

janiepop: heh can I help it if I can cut throug the crap of diagnostic systems

janiepop: that having been said

janiepop: the newer formulations talk about groupings of illnesses

eternumpace: groupings? please explain...

janiepop: and that the lables are a bit artificial

eternumpace: from what i have read, that is certainly true of schizophrenia which may even fit into the category of homeostasis? ha, that is my new medical term

janiepop: take a different example

janiepop: lets take ADD

eternumpace: ok...

janiepop: no lets take ADHD

janiepop: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder

janiepop: the only real reason for making a diagnosis

janiepop: ...is to formulate treatment

eternumpace: i see

janiepop: ok ?

janiepop: and in all honesty patients want to have a label

eternumpace: mmm. interesint. almost like the reason for learning any word game or language is to manipulate will and idea, to use a lil shopenhauer

janiepop: they want to call what they exprience something

janiepop: ok so patients are usually happier with soem kind of label

janiepop: that is especially true when it comes to a physical disease

eternumpace: so we, as "health care professionals" are dabbling in the elementary and local (or customary) notions of universal consciousness (mental, emotional, spiritiual,physical) knowing

janiepop: but much less true in mental illness

eternumpace: i follow you

janiepop: ok because the labels that relate to mental illness are so value laden

janiepop: ok

eternumpace: in a sense then, psychiatry, or any health care science, is a kindof religion

eternumpace: i read you. value laden. i understand

janiepop: so you wouldn't be worried about being diagnosed with apendicitis

janiepop: it has no value

janiepop: no negative value

eternumpace: no negative value to self image

janiepop: unless your the poor mug in pain and throwing up lol

janiepop: that's right no challenge to the self image

janiepop: and it's the challenge to the self image that comes from the external

eternumpace: conversely, or i suppose perversely, any challenge to self image (as mental health diagnoses may by) may be seen as exigent themselves of mental health, for precisely the same reason, like a big question only the soul can answer with its dialogue with spirit

janiepop: quite so

eternumpace: so, in other words, they should be paying us!

janiepop: yes

janiepop: yes

janiepop: and yes

eternumpace: lol

janiepop: we should be having the two experts dialogue maybe ?

janiepop: we do it in physical health

eternumpace: what do you mean?

janiepop: why not in mental health

janiepop: well if I have diabetes fro example

janiepop: you will need to manage your own care largely

janiepop: so you need to know as much as you can

janiepop: to keep well

janiepop: you become an expert inyoru diabetes

eternumpace: ah. yes. i see what you mean

janiepop: BUT

janiepop: you can't become an expert overnight agreed

janiepop: ?

eternumpace: agreed

janiepop: if you suddenly turn up in a hyperglycemic coma you need me to be the expert first

eternumpace: although i must say you have educated me quite a bit

eternumpace: i follow you

janiepop: ok so as a health pro I will take care of you at the beginning

janiepop: till you learn to manage for yourself

janiepop: you can adjust your dose

janiepop: you can come to me with your thoughts about what is happening

janiepop: I can introduce to you to some options for care

janiepop: we can discuss them

janiepop: etc

eternumpace: so the expert becomes more of a facilitator

janiepop: yes in the two expert model they are a facilitator

janiepop: but here is the trick

janiepop: they can't all do it lol

eternumpace: i have a trick to introduce as well, maybe it is the same one

janiepop: go

janiepop: for it mate

eternumpace: yes. i was watching a lecture on video by ph.D Joseph Campbell on the nature of "education"

janiepop: tell me about it

eternumpace: He pointed out that in all learning, it matters not so much to have all the available info (that is easy) what is pivotal, however, is the connection or encounter with the Self which can only happen if the teacher has "character"

janiepop: same trick ..more elegantly put bu JC

janiepop: he is calling it charcter

janiepop: I am saying they don't all have the ability

eternumpace: what do you call it, human expertise?

eternumpace: ah. yes.

janiepop: I call it

janiepop: I call it

janiepop: LOVE

eternumpace: that's a good one. did you just make that up? lol

eternumpace: i agree

janiepop: I did just then as we were evoloving

janiepop: some professionals are

janiepop: technicians

janiepop: soem

janiepop: are

janiepop: healers

janiepop: they have the same qualifications

janiepop: that's another trick

eternumpace: my god. i totally recognize that disntinction, with me moreso in the university system

janiepop: it's the same everywhere an anywhere

eternumpace: masters and mechanists

janiepop: it's where the 'professionals' part company

eternumpace: mechanists tend to be cynics as well

janiepop: they do

janiepop: some try quite hard to 'get it '

eternumpace: and they breed as much fear as information

janiepop: they kinds recognise it at some level

janiepop: and they HATE the people who have it

janiepop: they have no idea what they are even reacting against

eternumpace: i suppose it is all a question of belief, how in their own worlds, they describe the world to themselves

janiepop: well schizophrenia is called a disorder of belief

eternumpace: yes. i know that feeling. that sudden belligerence aimed it seems a no one in particular like some wild beast slouching t'war bethlehem, to be born. hehe

janiepop: that is pure poetry

eternumpace: well, i borrowed that from browning

janiepop: robert ?

eternumpace: yes

eternumpace: i'm trying to remember the title

eternumpace: it was also used in the movie, NIxon, by Oliver Stone

eternumpace: i highly recommend that film

janiepop: ahhhhhh Oliver

eternumpace: you like him?

janiepop: I remember him talking about a movie I saw

janiepop: Sean Penn ?

eternumpace: oliver stone

janiepop: Sean penn was in it

eternumpace: although sean penn is a great director as well

janiepop: can't think

janiepop: mmmm name of the movie

eternumpace: i like all of sean penn's stuff

eternumpace: he is very good

janiepop: me too

janiepop: he's amazing

eternumpace: he was in casualties of war with michael j. fox

eternumpace: and in "The Game" with michael douglas

janiepop: must have a penn fest

janiepop: love micheal d

eternumpace: did you see "Romancing the Stone"?

janiepop: anyway stone said

janiepop: no I didn't see it

eternumpace: good 80's romantic  comedy

eternumpace: ok. back to stone/...

janiepop: have a lot of movies to catch up on

janiepop: stone said .......he doesn't sanitise violence

janiepop: violence should be depcited as it is

janiepop: although people do get freaked about it

janiepop: he says it should be depicted like that ..what say you

janiepop: ?

janiepop: I need a few minutes to do a couple of things

janiepop: if you have the time

eternumpace: yeah. that natural born killers was very apocalyptical. sometimes violence is ok to me, if it "fits"

eternumpace: ok

eternumpace: i'll be here

janiepop: why not tell what you have found useful that I have said and that will guide us

eternumpace: ok

eternumpace: 1) i have precious few people in my life with whom to speak openly and compassionately of the darker regions of my being. and for your company I am very grateful.

eternumpace: 2) health care professionals work well in the same capacity as they are well and not all are "well" in that way we as a consensus reality, agree is right and just to aspire to

eternumpace: 3) labels or diagnoses are more good than bad

eternumpace: 4) many if not most mental health diagnoses are, in fact, systems or groups of ailments

janiepop: HD

eternumpace: 5) absolutely healing is never ever fully achieved within a linear time frame but can reached successfully through belief, faith, and love

janiepop: university medalist in the making lol

janiepop: what course are you studying

janiepop: ?

eternumpace: i am not studying anything officially if that's what you mean. i am not a student here.

janiepop: ok

eternumpace: what does the word "vouchsafe" mean?

janiepop: thought yoi might be studying

janiepop: ask me a hard one lol

janiepop: I should know that

eternumpace: it just occured to me

eternumpace: i might be able to look it up on here. just a sec

janiepop: now I want to know a few things

janiepop: this is the important part of the story

janiepop: how much of your life has been taken up with getting a diagnosis etc

eternumpace: shoot

janiepop: as above

janiepop: a diagnosis and treatment I should say

eternumpace: i would say actively since about 1998

janiepop: ok

janiepop: and are you mmmmm satisfied with that process now

eternumpace: or even 1993 when i suddenly dropped out of university (where i was studying physics and math on scholarship) and came home

janiepop: ok how old were you then ?

eternumpace: 19

janiepop: ok

janiepop: so 27 now

janiepop: about

janiepop: on a scale of 1 to 10

janiepop: 10 being best

eternumpace: i would say I am fairly satisfied with the process. (yes, 28 actually). However, I would love to have someone to talk to more often

janiepop: best you've ever felt being 10

eternumpace: 7

janiepop: ok

eternumpace: overall. but just by sheer hopefullness of living the life I was meant to live a 10

janiepop: and you will

janiepop: in fact

janiepop: you will live 10+

eternumpace: that is nicely optimistic

janiepop: that's me

eternumpace: i suppose you are a rather positive gal at that

janiepop: I am

janiepop: done me good all my life

janiepop: and I have had some pretty big stuff to face

eternumpace: "only the positive is real". i read that somewhere

janiepop: but let me not distract us

janiepop: sure as heck feels like the -ve gets pretty real too lol

eternumpace: and of course, some people can misinterpret that statement as a condemnaton of the imaginative faculties. what awful irony lol

janiepop: but dear heart in lots of instances it is a choice

janiepop: ok so we have established this

janiepop: you are very psoitive naturally

janiepop: very smart

janiepop: IQ wise EQ wise and SQ wise

janiepop: a winning formula

janiepop: you ahve integrity

eternumpace: what is SQ?

janiepop: spiritual quotinet

eternumpace: oh. that

janiepop: quotient

eternumpace: that's good

eternumpace: i like this positive affirmation stuff

janiepop: it's when IQ aAND EQ are present

janiepop: this leads to SQ

janiepop: the stuff in bewteen

janiepop: now back to ADHD

janiepop: for amoment

eternumpace: ok. i'm listening

janiepop: I worked on a prject

janiepop: two young docs

janiepop: up an coming in their fields

janiepop: I was their reserach assistant

eternumpace: ok

janiepop: meetings were murder

janiepop: till I got an iamge

janiepop: of what was going on

janiepop: two stags locking horns

eternumpace: aha

janiepop: and fighting over the one small piece of territory

janiepop: that territory was the questionnaire we were developing

eternumpace: ok

janiepop: the problem was this ....

janiepop: they had polarised views of what ADHD was

janiepop: one was a biologist

janiepop: the other was a social scientist

janiepop: give or take

eternumpace: interesting

janiepop: the social scientist took the view

janiepop: that once upon a time

janiepop: children with attention probelms

janiepop: would have been prized as the most alert

janiepop: calling everyones attention to the lumbering beast

eternumpace: haha. i like that

janiepop: the biologist took a differnt view

janiepop: one was a paediatician and the other was a paediatric psychiatrist

janiepop: guess which was which ?

eternumpace: mmm. the social scientist was the pediatrician? i'm not sure

eternumpace: feels like a trick question

janiepop: yes that's right

janiepop: he was the more flexible

eternumpace: ya, ok.

janiepop: the more big picture ...less diagnostic

janiepop: more of the other stuff

janiepop: love and respect etc

janiepop: doing the other bits of the work

janiepop: they hated one another

janiepop: I was in the middle

eternumpace: ugh

janiepop: and I hated Tuesdays

janiepop: so I got my image going

janiepop: and I bought soem Minties

janiepop: and I got onto what I had to do

janiepop: soon after I left ..the two of them had al almight fight and the prject meetings folded

janiepop: the project was done

janiepop: but they never had contact again

eternumpace: wow

eternumpace: must have been genuinely vitriolic

janiepop: 2 highly intelligent

janiepop: well meaning yound professional men

janiepop: with different views about the value of classification

 

janiepop: I've seen a lot of it

janiepop: I have worked with doctors for 40 years on and off

janiepop: and for psychiatrists for 30

janiepop: 20

eternumpace: living in a box, living in a card board box - huey lewis and the news

janiepop: so I got out

janiepop: and now I work at home for myself

eternumpace: sounds like quite the asylum hehe

janiepop: with good supervision

janiepop: and great educational inputs

eternumpace: you do counselling and consulting right?

janiepop: soemof the best people I have ever met are psychiatrists

janiepop: and some of the worst have been priests lol

janiepop: yes counselling especiallt grief and loss

janiepop: and couples

eternumpace: yeah. well having new and noteworth "problems" is somewhat of a fantastical and gothic romantic desire in cult psyche i suppose

janiepop: is it

janiepop: gaaaawwwwwwd never thought of it like that

eternumpace: well, the "schizophrenic" is like the psychiatric christ, the tragic dionysian

janiepop: do you think they thonk like that ?

eternumpace: the exigent pathology endemic to all self awareness

janiepop: mmmm

eternumpace: no. i don't think they all think like that. it is, however, the impression i have gleaned at times

janiepop: maybe I've seen very very sick ones

janiepop: lol

janiepop: they are just unwell

eternumpace: sick patients or doctors?

janiepop: very unwell

janiepop: lol

janiepop: patients

janiepop: doctors don't usually have malice of forethough

eternumpace: "malice of forethought" that's a neat phrase

janiepop: they are simply muggles

eternumpace: muggles. that's a good one

janiepop: Harry Potter

eternumpace: i still don't know what vouchsafe means

janiepop: hhahaha

janiepop: wish I did

janiepop: I'll ask tomorrow

janiepop: and let yo know

eternumpace: i sense it is some kind of assurance

eternumpace: i am going to look it up in the online encarta.com

eternumpace: don't you think that what i said, though, about the romantic thirst for pathogens, is somewhat ironic?

janiepop: ironic ...explain

janiepop: I guess I take mental helath very seriously

eternumpace: there was a time when the only problem was death and it was celebrated. then we got symbolic reasoning and death became a curse

janiepop: in a light kinda way lol

eternumpace: "it is the knowledge of our fate that kills us" that sortof thing

eternumpace: so it is in psychiatry that prometheus is everywhere unbound

janiepop: hun it's a bit mythical for this fluffy duck ,,,but I'll work on it lol

eternumpace: i didn't mean to disrespect your profession though. i know that a lot of people benefit from psychiatry, me being one of them. i am simple talking in orders of metaphor

eternumpace: i just think it's all very fascinating

janiepop: so do I

janiepop: what I find incredibly fascinating

janiepop: is when patients come in to hospital

eternumpace: that you have such a creative perspective of mental health after all your years of encounters is quite telling of your own character

janiepop: and they are soooo unwell ..and we use thse inadequate ways of labbeling them etc amd we giev them antipsychotic medication ..and they get better

janiepop: and we spot the early at risk group

janiepop: and they never get to hospital

janiepop: and they hardly skip a beat

eternumpace: that does sound rather magical

janiepop: do I believe its god's will ...nahhhhh

janiepop: we believe in giving god a bit of a hand

eternumpace: recently, i had the good fortune of running into a psychiatric nurse that had helped treat me when i was in hospital with acute depression several years back. I was glad to have the opportunity to thank her.

eternumpace: giving god a hand job?

eternumpace: sorry. i couldn't resist

janiepop: lol

janiepop: lol

eternumpace: yes, i am every bit the humanist myself. God is in our actions

eternumpace: you did't fall out of your chair did you?

janiepop: you and I have had a good time here today

janiepop: thanks for the opportunity to trot out how I feel about all this

janiepop: I am passionate as you can see

eternumpace: yes. i like that

eternumpace: i will be a shame to end such a delightful discourse

janiepop: although mental health has a long way to go .....

janiepop: we have come miles

eternumpace: mental health has gotten a fair shake in cinema wouldn't you say?

janiepop: God is

janiepop: I'm not a lable girl really

janiepop: but pantheist is pretty close to me

janiepop: nope to falling out of chair

eternumpace: yes. i am a pantheist as well. we also call ourselves existentialists. it sounds neat

eternumpace: oh. you must have a lag

eternumpace: or we have a lag

janiepop: yep

janiepop: thelatest is good

janiepop: as far as the mental health professionals go

janiepop: pantheist they can cope with

eternumpace: why not theratriste instead of therapist?

janiepop: I like it

eternumpace: hahaha

janiepop: can I use it ?

eternumpace: sure. i was looking up the greek therapeai once and could have sworn it said "to push through a small opening"

janiepop: you are funny

eternumpace: you know, like a tunnel into through the looking glass

eternumpace: although i suppose one could liken the architectural allusion to the urethera

janiepop: thanks so much for all of that ..it has been  treat

eternumpace: instead of pissed off one could be "pissed out"

eternumpace: but i digress
