A
great Buddhist monk said to me recently:
"Those who tell lies about you to other people -
maybe to justify their own actions - are in reality lying to themselves
and to the universe,
and they will prevent themselves from reaching a further step towards
Nirvana in this lifetime"
______________________________________________________________
I
am a thinker.
Some would even say that I think too much.
But I HAVE to think...and to think big.
I have to be amazed and to take a stand in life.
YOU
KNOW, I often wonder what makes people do what they do and act and react
the way they do ?
So many people are rude and rather nasty to others and they don´t
think in psychological terms
(who is this person I´m talking to, what is behind him/her) - how
to be a caring and decent human being.
In other words they don´t try to look behind what´s really
inside the soul of their fellow man.
GlobaliZation
! Cruel incarnations ! No limitations ! Governmental persuasions !
I
am often in shock. Seeing is believing, right ? BUT, well, for me....sometimes
SEEING is NOT to be BELIEVED !
What happens in "the life" is quite often a bit more drastic
than anything you see on film.
Everywhere you go you might be in the "manipulating danger zone".
In the world of music also.
You have to deal with egotism, old school managers, who even dwell into
your private life
and get´s way too close to your personal life, just like the dreadful
and ever manipulating tabloid press.
Having been in the press myself, I have seen the most unbelievable stories
they have printed which is
completely untrue and totally made up and is the opposite of the truth.....places
you haven´t even been to.
Record companies want you to give them a totally mainstream and commercial
package of songs which
they can be sure will make them some money. "Where have all the flowers
gone"....
.well, my question is: "Where have real ART gone".
Where has TRUTH gone to ? Where can we find someone in business that we
can reallly trust ?
Who can we really trust ? Hopefully certain friends and family members,
but people in power ???
Can we trust them ? This question is also directed at politicians ?
Who can we trust ??? As Michael Moore says in "Fahrenheit 9/11"
(most important film in decades)
"Who´s your daddy ???"
I have to worry about the condition of our planet and politics and human
interaction.
I am a philosopher....that is my art. Everything I do is philosophy......and
I will write different stuff
down for this page.
Things I think, believe in and hope for !!!
Please send me some of your philosophy...and let me include it on my hompage....
yours and mine and ours !
Let´s connect and speak our minds...becauce the mind is the worlds greatest
computer !
AND life is the greatest mystery there is !!!
I
have always been fortunate to meet a lot of interesting personalities.
I love people that are different and not so mainstream.
I find it absolutely horrible that the media and our community are trying
to force
the population of the world to behave and be and look in a certain limited
way.
There seems to be very little room and space for those who are living
different kind of lives. These people that are considered ”less normal”
by the
majority of our society.
What is ”NORMAL” anyway !!!
We are all a lil´ crazy in one way or the other !
There are just
some well-mannered people who ACTs the part of so-called
"normal people"....and those ”normal-ones” may be considered
NORMAL just becauce they are not very outrageous or different ?!!!
But are not ”well-mannered” at all, if they look down on people who thinks
in
another way, or if they are full of judgement and completely narrow minded.
In fact, they might be the toughest business men, or the most hardcore
dictators,
school teachers or parents who fills up their children with fear using
religion
in a bad way or crazy punishment !!!
You are not allowed to be different in school....cos´ then you will be
teased and maybe
even beat up !!!
A child´s school years are extremely important and will leave an eternal
impression
on a young person, which will say much about how their lives will be in
the future.
Children can actually be some of the cruelest and meanest creatures in
the world
to each other....and they can make another child´s life a living hell,
if they do not FIT IN !!!
This also goes for grown ups who are working and are trying to fit in
on the job.
BUT if they don´t, they can be sure that the others will mock and
bad mouth them.
There are too much bickering and backstabbing at most regular jobs.
Especially women...can be outrageously bitchy, ill-tempered and dramatic....
this is also the case in many relationships. Women seem to have NO LIMITS
when it comes to putting a man down and then trying to blame him for her
own doing,
especially during her period !!!
Men can be totally out of control too, mostly just in other ways,
especially with a low self-esteem and a lack proper upbringing.....
Men are always the most aggressively violent and insane monsters.......
even politicians with power who is making war becauce of financial or
oil interests,
but also becauce of their different religious beliefs !
There seem to be no end to the evilness and craziness between human beings.....
from childhood to death........
As long as there are two people on this planet.....there will be hate,
war and jealousy. Some people with a low self-esteem and a bad upbringing,
coming from a chaotic home with alchoholic
or violent parents, or parents who left them to themselves....
are often the ones who end up with the Borderline syndrom :
BPD- Borderline Personality Disorder.
All too many people carry this mental disturbance
around with them....and they are often some of the most charming
but also manipulative and dangerous people you can meet.
See link about: BORDERLINE
PERSONALITY DISORDER
Luckily there
are also more stabil people on this earth....and many of them are people
that are different. Humanitarians, great thinkers, artistic personalities
and so on.......................
It´s horrible for
me to see how little people are SEEING.......SEEEEEEING.......
and how little people actually
THINK -- and how little people EMBRACE those who may not be what
”TRENDSETTERS” + the media, the politicians - says is
THE RIGHT WAY.....the perfect way of being.......and what
unfortunately becomes OUR CULTURE in 2003 - 2004 - 2005 !!!
I have also personally encountered people who were Borderline people.
It´s like you walk around in denial, because you don´t want
to believe
that someone you care about could be diagnosed with this mental disease.
I WILL INCLUDE SOME DANISH LIST
MADE BY PSYCHOLOGISTS, WHICH
DEFINES BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER AND NARCISSISTIC
PERSONALITY DISORDER. Soon they will be translated into English.
(For DANISH speaking visitors....see at the bottum of the page)

THE
DEATH OF TRUE ART
REALITY TV
In
this world today, TRUE ART is an exclusive rarity.
Everything is about making money, a lot of selfish egoism
with no talent and reality TV shows !
There
is probably nothing I hate more than those tacky Reality-TV shows,
such as Big Brother, Pop/Super Stars, The jungle show, Robinson
and all of those TV programs where real people have to appear
SOUL-NAKED (if not stark naked) to their bone and then to recieve
cruel judgement from their peers or a voting audience.

uglinessssss --- on TV ;-)
Nothing
must be worse for a young struggeling artist than to appear
on these SuperStar music shows, and then to be judged by some
"famous people", often very commercialized stars or a bit low-life
celebrities
...who are sitting there judging the young people
(who are DYING for 15 minutes of manufactured fame)....like cinderella.
I turned down a couple of offers myself, to appear in such shows.
I would NEVER be true to myself, the person I am or my humanitarian
or political beliefs if I would agree to appear in such a show.
It´s the DEATH OF TRUE ART, and I can´t see why people
(also celebrities of a certain standard) would sink to this low level.
These
reality shows are the successes of today and people with a different personality
or young artists like myself who is trying to do something out of the
mainstream
(with a certain love for SOME of the mainstream though), are standing
firm and are refusing
to be pushed around too much on this roller-coaster ride, becauce we have
SO MUCH MORE
to give than to be judged by people in public to the sweet delight of
the
viewer who are sitting at home enjoying every moment of seeing people´s
emotions when they are voted out of a show, or someone are saying something
bad about
a fellow "in-mate" behind their backs in the Big-Brother house
!
I know these programs are very popular....also those StarSearch shows,
in fact my own
wife appeared on a few of those shows in the jury.....
but I, myself, are writing songs about this theme and I will continue
to fight for my
artistic and moral rights.....a fight for freedom to be heard, to be loved
for what we
can do without having my laundry washed in front of millions on a TV show.

LOUISE
L. HAY -- The healing prophet

Louise
L. Hay is an extraordinary lady from America who has written a lot of
amazing
books about healing, curing all diseases. A lady who can guide you to
better living with a
more positive way of thinking, and she tells you that all illnesses has
a certain meaning psychologically--
and that it´s caused by yourself from having a wrong and negative
attitude towards difficult situations in
your life, wether its terrible experiences, low self-esteem, obesity,
fear of things, anger and resentment,
guilt.....you name it.
The most prominent book written by Louise L. Hay is "You can heal
your life",
which you should be able to buy anywhere. It´s translated into many
languages and can also be found
at libraries and in alternative bookshops, such as the Bodhi Tree bookshop
on Melrose in Los Angeles.
Louise
Hay, is an amazing woman and you would do yourself, your life and your
friends life
a favour by checking
out her wonderful and inspiring books.
The
kick-boxing mind-body pioneer
Louise Hay is an author, minister, and publisher whose books have
touched millions of lives.
In the 1970s, after several years of counseling work, Ms. Hay compiled
a reference guide outlining the
mental components of many physical ailments.
Her book, Heal Your Body, offered positive thought patterns for encouraging
health.
Louise was able to put her philosophies into practice when she was diagnosed
with cancer.
She developed an intensive program of affirmations, visualization, nutritional
cleansing and
psychotherapy.
Within six months, she was completely healed of cancer.
She continues to develop and publish materials on the process of inner
healing.
You Can Heal Your Life [see excerpt link below] has been established as
a classic in the field of
inner healing.
In this book, Ms. Hay develops a philosophy of healing that rests on a
few core principles:
"Every thought we think is creating our future ... We must release
the past and forgive everyone ...
We much be willing to begin to learn to love ourselves."
Ms. Hay has successfully applied these principles in her own life, and
assisted millions of other people
to do the same. She has written and lectured extensively on the importance
of taking control of
our thoughts, and turning to a Higher Power for guidance in our lives.
In The Power Is Within You, Ms. Hay builds on these themes and shares
stories of healing from her
own life and those whom she has worked with over the years. Themes of
forgiveness -
including self-forgiveness - healing, and prosperity are covered.

Men
and Physical Abuse by Spouses or Girlfriends.

Male
Abuse.
How would you guys like to don a dress and then ride a donkey backwards
down the main
street of your town? Everyone could line the street snickering and making
fun of you.
I doubt if you would even consider it.
Yet, in medieval France, a man who had been physically abused by his wife
was forced to do
this so everyone could see how weak he was.
Male abuse by women: is it real?
We probably all accept the fact that both men and women can be the victim
of emotional abuse.
The "hen-pecked" man abused by his wife has been the brunt of
jokes and cartoons forever.
Physical abuse is another story. In our society we think of women as the
victims and men as the
aggressors in physical abuse.
But that is not true. Equally as many, if not more, men are assaulted
by their girlfriends
or wives as vice versa.
A 1997 survey conducted among dating couples showed almost 30% of women
admitting
that they had used some form of physical aggression against their male
partners within
the dating cycle. This runs counter to official documentation of female
abuse against men.
Why?
1. Less men report abuse. They are ashamed to report being abused by women.
2. Health care and law enforcement professionals are more likely to accept
alternative
explanations of abuse from a man. They will believe other reasons for
the presence of bruises
and other signs of injury
3. Our justice system sometimes takes the word of the woman above the
word of the man in
abuse cases. It is just more believable that the aggressor was the man,
not the woman.
4. Men will tolerate more pain than women. They are more likely to "grin
and bear it."
And again, many are ashamed to seek medical help for abuse.
5. Unless a woman uses a weapon (and many do), a woman usually does not
have the
strength of a man to inflict serious injury by abuse.
Male
victims of violence are not well served in their healing by organizations
that teach
hatred towards women
Men face additional barriers in telling our stories of abuse because we
have been socialized
to be the "king of the castle", in control of our lives and
feelings and to never show our weakness.
It is wrong for any man to be abused. We hope the stories provided below
encourage men
who are abused to reach out and end the silence of your pain. You need
not be alone in isolation.
Talk to someone you trust and know that you do not deserve to live in
a situation where you
are unsafe, unloved or abused.
It is an ongoing struggle to separate the wheat from the chafe, to find
the truth locked within
the pain of men's experience of violence. While we wish to sincerely tell
the stories men who
have been abused by their female intimate partners, there also exists
a culture of denial that
seeks to blame women, especially feminists, for the pain of changing and
old stereotypes in
which some men have found safety.
Statistics
About Domestic Abuse And Violence Against Men
Very little in known about the actual number of men who are in a domestic
relationship
in which they are abused or treated violently by women. In 100 domestic
violence situations
approximately 40 cases involve violence by women against men. An estimated
400,000 women
per year are abused or treated violently in the United States by their
spouse or intimate partner.
This means that roughly 300,000 to 400,000 men are treated violently by
their wife or girl friend.
Why
Do We Know So Little About Domestic Abuse And Violence Against Men?
There are many reasons why we don't know more about domestic abuse and
violence against men.
First of all, the incidence of domestic violence reported men appears
to be so low that it is hard to
get reliable estimates. In addition, it has taken years of advocacy and
support to encourage women
to report domestic violence. Virtually nothing has been done to encourage
men to report abuse.
The idea that men could be victims of domestic abuse and violence is so
unthinkable that many
men will not even attempt to report the situation.
The dynamic of domestic abuse and violence is also different between men
and women.
The reasons, purposes and motivations are often very different between
sexes.
Although the counseling and psychological community have responded to
domestic abuse
and violence against women, there has been very little investment in resources
to address
and understand the issues of domestic abuse and violence against men.
In most cases,
the actual physical damage inflicted by men is so much greater than the
actual physical harm
inflected by women.
The impact of domestic violence is less apparent and less likely to come
to the attention of
others when men are abused. For example, it is assumed than a man with
a bruise or black
eye was in a fight with another man or was injured on the job or playing
contact sports.
Even when men do report domestic abuse and violence, most people are so
astonished
men usually end up feeling like nobody believes them.
The Problem With Assumptions About Domestic Abuse And Violence
It is a widely held assumption that women are always the victims and men
are always the
perpetrators. Between 50 and 60% of all domestic abuse and violence is
against women.
There are many reasons why people assume men are never victims and why
women often
ignore the possibility. For one thing, domestic abuse and violence has
been minimized,
justified and ignored for a very long time. Women are now more organized,
supportive
and outspoken about the epidemic of domestic abuse and violence against
women.
Very little attention has been paid to the issue of domestic abuse and
violence against men -
especially because violence against women has been so obvious and was
ignored for so long.
What Is Domestic Abuse And Violence Against Men?
There are no absolute rules for understanding the emotional differences
between men and women.
There are principles and dynamics that allow interpretation of individual
situations.
Domestic abuse and violence against men and women have some similarities
and difference.
For men or women, domestic violence includes pushing, slapping, hitting,
throwing objects,
forcing or slamming a door or striking the other person with an object,
or using a weapon.
Domestic abuse can also be mental or emotional. However, what will hurt
a man mentally and
emotionally, can in some cases be very different from what hurts a woman.
For some men,
being called a coward, impotent or a failure can have a very different
psychological impact
than it would on a women. Unkind and cruel words hurt, but they can hurt
in different ways
and linger in different ways. In most cases, men are more deeply affected
by emotional abuse
than physical abuse.
For example, the ability to tolerate and "brush off" a physical
assault by women in front of
other men can in some cases reassure a man that he is strong and communicate
to other
men that he can live up to the code of never hitting a woman. A significant
number of of
men are overly sensitive to emotional and psychological abuse. In some
cases, humiliating
a man emotionally in front of other men can be more devastating than physical
abuse.
Some professionals have observed that mental and emotional abuse can be
an area where
women are often "brutal" than men. Men on the other hand are
quicker to resort to physical
abuse and they are more capable of physical assaults that are more brutal
- even deadly!.
Why Does Domestic Abuse Against Men Go Unrecognized?
*Domestic violence against men goes unrecognized for the following reasons:
* The incidence of domestic violence against men appears to be so low
that it is hard to
get reliable estimates.
* It has taken years of advocacy and support to encourage women to report
domestic violence.
*Virtually
nothing has been done to encourage men to report abuse.
* The idea that men could be victims of domestic abuse and violence is
so unthinkable to
most people that many men will not even attempt to report the situation.
* The counseling and psychological community have responded to domestic
abuse and
violence against women. Not enough has been done to stop abuse against
women.
There has been very little investment in resources to address the issues
of domestic abuse
and violence against men.
* In most cases, the actual physical damage inflicted by men is so much
greater than the
actual physical harm inflected by women. The impact of domestic violence
is less apparent
and less likely to come to the attention of others.
* Even when men do report domestic abuse and violence, most people are
so astonished,
men usually end up feeling like nobody would believe them. It is widely
assumed than a
man with a bruise or black eye was in a fight with another man or was
injured on the job
or while playing contact sports. Women generally don't do those things.
What Are The Characteristics Of Women Who Are Abusive And Violent?
The characteristics of men or women who are abusive fall into three categories.
* Alcohol Abuse. Alcohol abuse is a major cause and trigger in domestic
violence.
People who are intoxicated have less impulse control, are easily frustrated,
have greater
misunderstandings and are generally prone to resort to violence as a solution
to problems. Women who abuse men are frequently alcoholics.
* Psychological Disorders. There
are certain psychological problems, primarily personality
disorders, in which women are characteristically abusive and violent toward
men.
Borderline personality disorder
is a diagnosis that is found
almost
exclusively with women.
Approximately 1 to 2 percent of all women have a
Borderline Personality disorder.
At least 50% of all domestic abuse and violence
against men is associated with woman
who have a Borderline Personality disorder. The disorder is also associated
with suicidal
behavior, severe mood swings, lying, sexual problems and alcohol abuse.
* Unrealistic expectations, assumptions and conclusions. Women who are
abusive toward
men usually have unrealistic expectations and make unrealistic demands
of men.
These women will typically experience repeated episodes of depression,
anxiety, frustration
and irritability which they attribute to a man's behavior. In fact, their
mental and emotional
state is the result of their own insecurities, emotional problems, trauma
during childhood
or even withdrawal from alcohol. They blame men rather than admit their
problems, take
responsibility for how they live their lives or do something about how
they make themselves
miserable. They refuse to enter treatment and may even insist the man
needs treatment.
Instead of helping themselves, they blame a man for how they feel and
believe that a man
should do something to make them feel better. They will often medicate
their emotions
with alcohol. When men can't make them feel better, these women become
frustrated and
assume that men are doing this on purpose.

Britain destroying itself from within. . .
© Copyright - Daily Mail
A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed
itself from within,
said the American historian Will Durrant about ancient Rome. This self-destruction
of values
is exactly what is happening in England today.
Yes,
I still call the country of my birth England, in spite of the peculiar
political correctness
that insists that it be called 'the UK' and that we, its denizens, must
be 'Britons'.
Even though the Welsh are proud to call themselves Welsh, as are the Irish
and certainly
the Scots, woe betide the Briton who calls himself 'English' -- a much-frowned-upon
no-no.
I believe that when a country loses so much respect for itself that it
can no longer even be
identified by its historically correct name, insecurity and lack of respect
filter down to its
inhabitants.

Recently, I have concluded that London is no longer the 'seat of civilised
society' that
the world once considered it to be, and is certainly not the safe city
I grew up in.
A particular incident demonstrated the lack of respect and manners that
is but a small
example of the horrible, encroaching decay of the country that I love
dearly.
My husband Percy and I were at a ball at the Grosvenor House Hotel --
a black-tie event
attended by the socalled 'elite' of the city.
As Percy held the door open to let me through, a 6ft tall, middle-aged,
horse-faced male
pushed past me, trod on the hem of my dress and rushed outside to climb
into the taxi that
the doorman had waiting for us.

This was a person who should, or at least looked like he should, have
known better.
The cause of his behaviour? The awful pervasive disregard that we have
for civility today.
Bump accidentally into someone in the street these days and you are soundly
cursed.
Look at a poor derelict collapsed in a doorway for more than a second
and they'll spit at you.
Surely everyone has experienced the barely suppressed rage lurking behind
the faces of a
vast number of car drivers.
We've become the 'Whatcha lookin' at?' culture. Why do young people consider
it cool to
be arrogant, swaggering and rude? Why do so many people in England seem
so cynical
and self-centred?

I witnessed young, drunken yobs roaming the streets kicking cars, screaming
insults,
pushing people and even pushchairs out of their way, attacking each other
viciously and
then turning on the police when they tried to maintain order.
THE WHOLE scene evoked the image of hordes of inebriated Vikings sacking
devastated
towns. Even during the day, feral mobs roamed the cities with absolute
disregard for
anyone else's property or well-being. Traditional virtues of male chivalry
and female
propriety were very far from view.
After all, a lack of manners and politeness in a society can only be a
reflection of what
the society thinks of itself. It's frightful how being told that you are
no good makes you
hate yourself, and hate others. And it's frightful how quickly a whole
country of
self-loathers can be bred.

EATING
Isn´t it wonderful to eat ?
I love eating. We all have to eat no matter who we are, where we are or
what we do.
Eating is something we all have in common, something we all must do to
survive, just like sleeping
and obviously drinking.
People can deprive themselves from having sex and many other things that
seems to be essential
in this world, but to eat means survival.
However, it can be very unhealthy to eat bad and fattening things although
it might be the most tasty.
Fat steaks, sauces, candy, icecream, cakes and chocolate....mmmmm...yummy
!
I love everything that is fattening. I have always wondered why they couldn´t
invent something
healthy and low-fat that actually taste good and give you cravings for
more !

I later discovered that some people in fact like salads, green vegestables
and low fat meat
much more than anything fattening, or even desserts and other sweets.
Some people just doon´t like
“bad things” ! Good for them.
I have now discovered some delishious low fat foods, and I am happy to
say that my favourite dish -
SEAFOOD (shrimps, prawns, lobster.....) are very healthy and lowfat....and
with that, I love salad.
Fish is also good, especially salmon which I really like.
I do eat meat....and I love a great big fat steak, and many different
kinds too.
I don´t eat it as much as I used to do though.....and I still have
a strong weakness for
chocolate and sometimes other sweets.
That´s terrible though. Even though my metabolism has changed quite
a lot since my teens,
it´s still a dangerous weight bomb to eat too much of it.
When I was 15, I became very heavy and gained a lot of weight which gave
very bad self-esteem.
It was not a happy time for me in my life. I started gaining all this
weight after I broke up
with my first girlfriend, Fie, who had to go to Scotland becauce her family
was moving there.
We were very happy but had to end the relationship because of this, and
I felt so terrible after that.
I was also very unhappy in my 8th school. I loathed this dreadful school
and had a horrible time there.
I had also moved around too much and changed school many times.
I was then hanging out with my oldest friend, Lillian, who was 15 years
older than me.
With her, I enjoyed a form of escapism seeing the world of showbiz, celebrities,
all the things
I wanted for myself later on, but which seemed a little difficult for
me at this time since I now
suddenly had gained a considerable amount of weight. I felt very slobby
and was full of self denial.
I was always dreaming at that time instead of doing things for myself.
I felt sure that no girl would love me again after Fie....and a lot of
thinking was happening
in my inner universe. I just ate steadily for a year. I developed an enormous
appetite...........
and THEN - one day, I WOKE up looking at myself saying....WHAT ARE YOU
DOING ???
I just had an awakening....I KNEW THEN that it was NOW that I would be
loosing weight after almost
a year of being too fat....and I knew that I would NEVER AGAIN put it
on !
It was a psychological decission I made within myself.......and I cut
my longish slobby hair off and
the next day....YES - the NEXT DAY -- I had already lost 3 kilo´s
which is about 6 pounds !!!
I felt totally different....started to think about life, myself and people
in a whole new opposite way
than before...and I started to wish for things, that actually came to
happpen.
The power of the mind is really extraordinary.
Within 4 months or so I had lost all weight I had gained the year before
and then, much much more......
in fact, I had lost way too much all of a sudden, but kept on loosing
more weight as people were
complimenting me all the time for my enormous change.
People were soooo enthusiatic about my weightloss and many began to approach
me differently
and show interest in ways I had never imagined.
This all gave me a lot of confidance and I became much more vain and started
to care about my
appearance and how I looked.
I also became quite popular with girls....and I had an intense period
of proving myself to
people with getting many freinds....going out to parties all the time
and having changing partners.
That didn´t make me too happy either in the long run...but I started
doing a lot of modelling and
theatre (plays, shows ect) which did gave me a great boost.
I was now way too skinny, and one person once described me as a “walking
skelletton”
...which actually made me happy !!!
I still enjoyed the party life and I was beginning to miss eating all
the nice fattening things
I had done before.
I could NEVER gain weight again, I knew that....but I did start to eat
a little more....
as my doctor TOLD me to do so, now being very thin.
I put on a little bit more and reached my ideal weight, but I still wanted
to enjoy eating all the
things I desired, so I developed a form of BULIMIA.....”cosy Bulimia”,
which set in during
my time modelling.
I discovered to my great joy that I could eat all the things I wanted
and then stick a finger in
my throat and throw it all up again. I only did it when I felt I had eaten
too much. I felt a security
net under me, knowing I could still ENJOY food but not gain weight from
eating.
This also went on for months until I started to tell my close friends
about it, who then kicked my
ass and made me take the last step towards freedom (“food freedom”)
!
I had to stop this escape too....and felt so horrible after having thrown
up. I just had to make
another decission.
Stopping the food disorder (which in my case wasn´t as bad as other
people I have now heard
true bulimia stories from)...and getting rid of this food obsession was
the next step.
I became much more focussed on myself as a happy and free person, intead
of always worrying
about my looks. My girlfriend Mia, was my greatest help in getting rid
of this fear of not being
loved when I was too fat......and the my METABOLISM just changed dratically,
so that I in fact
COULD eat more than before without having to worry all the time about
my weight.
I simply didn´t gain so much like before and I am sure that must
also be a psychological decission,
and of cource knowing that all hormones are running wild when you are
a teenager.
BUT....I still do care about what I eat...and I think I will always be
aware of myself in terms of eating
and never getting overweight again or use any pathetic ways of getting
rid of the food.
Food is here to be enjoyed...and we must be grateful for the food we are
offered. Just think about all
those who must endure without food and have to struggle to even get it.
In our western world we see too many obese people who eat too much. A
substitude for love I suppose.
Basically, you have to take care of it yourself, because noone else can
do it for you.
Friends and family might be able to help you enormously and encourage
you,
but YOU are the only one who can do it.
I enjoy my food much more nowadays, and for the last 10 years I have kept
my weight more or
less the same....and not been too upset if I have gained a kilo more than
“a month ago”.
I feel secure with who I am. I am happy to be who I am.....and I think
I am very grateful to
have gone through this roller-coaster ride...up and down in weight. I
know so much
more about life now, and I feel so much happier now. I know now that it´s
a priviledge to love me....
and I say that with great modesty !!!

A
EUROPEAN GIRL IN DISTRESS - Bulimia
"SEEING
THE WORLD THROUGH THE LAVATORY"
It is 11:30 am: I should be getting up but I don’t know what for.
Life is really dull and I have nothing important to do.
Yes, I could go to university and inform myself about Greek tragedies,
but I’m not really
bothered since I would be
sitting in a room full of thin intellectual people who make me feel like
a worthless blob.
No, I will stay home and celebrate my lousy existence.
I haven’t had breakfast yet. I’m dragging myself over to the
fridge.
There’s
nothing in it.
No wait, there’s an old yogurt and ketchup. That isn’t suitable.
I know I have bread somewhere but it would be too
much trouble chewing it and then I don’t really feel like it after
all.
I
find a hat to hide my greasy hair and a coat, so noone notices I’m
actually
leaving my flat in my sleeping clothes.
Luckily there’s a little grocery store just across the street.
I’m enbarrassed to go there every day but I’m too lazy to
walk down the street and go to the supermarket. I just don’t have
the energy,
so I take the shame of buying things in a
little place over the effort of walking 300 meters. I feel bad as I walk
along the
aisle with the sweets. I get biscuits, only
to put them back again for they require too much chewing. I walk back
to the fridge
department and get some yogurt to
make myself feel better but as I pass by the cakes again I take one along
with some
chocolate bars and wine gum.
I quickly cross the street on my way out for I don’t want to run
into any of my neighbours
with all that food on my arms.
I make it back without being noticed. Some children behind me scream something
about having
stolen food from the shop. I haven’t! I am just in a hurry. I quickly
forget them though as I settle
on the couch.
I didn’t even take the hat off but started having cake immediately.
I’m watching televison on the side. Several ghastly talk shows are
on and
I’m flipping through the channels to find something that concerns
me.
I’m lucky today since there is one with fat people talking about
losing weight.
I stay tuned since it concerns me, too. I keep on eating while watching
women exposing themselves.
Then one them is really pretty and has lost 50 kilos. I’m envious
and I keep on eating and thinking
about my last diet. I didn’t think I looked any better after it
but it retrospective
it wasn’t that bad really.
Why did I start eating again? I shouldn’t have done that in the
first place.
It is wrong to eat! It is not glamorous to do it.
Noone will ever like me because I’m a blob. I stuff the wine gums
although I don’t even
feel like having them, but the chocolate bars and the cake are gone and
I definitely can’t
leave any of that crappy food lying around in here for all is going to
be different tomorrow.
I will start my day off differently and have a life. I’m starting
to feel sick. I can’t move
away from the couch because my stomach feels like a stone and I’m
uncomfortable all over.
I have to get that food out again. I’m not bulimic!
It’s just that I have eaten too much and I can’t do anything
for hours if it stays in.
I drag myself over and vomit a bunch of chocolaty cakemush out. I do that
a few times
until my throat starts hurting.
I feel relieved though. My stomach feels much lighter and I can walk properly
again.
My teeth are blunt and some acid is come up my gullet. I don’t want
to brush my teeth now
for I know there still is something down there and it must come out.
All of it. I go back to the kitchen and get a bottle of Evian. I drink
half of it and rinse my stomach
again and again until I feel it’s tidy enough. I feel bad about
wasting such good water but some
things just have to be done and it’s the last time, really.
I’m exhausted and decide to go back to bed. I need some sleep. I
can’t really sleep though,
so I just lie around doing crosswords.
It’s starting to bore me. I should think about my next diet.
I get some paper and a pen and plant myself back onto the bed.
How much weight do I want to lose? I don’t know how much I weigh
now. I don’t even dare stepping
onto the scale, afraid it will show me some outrageous number I couldn’t
even imagine myself.
After all I look like a truck, so it would be suicidal to get a figure.
I decide that I will
start my calculations at 70 kg. I know I’m not that heavy but then
it’s good to overdo it a bit,
so I can feel a little better after all. I mean even 60 kg would mean
I’m a big piece of meat.
Now I need to figure out how much I should lose. I might want to go down
to 50 kg but then
I still won’t be fragile. I want people to feel sorry for me and
awake motherly feelings, so they are
kind to me and care.
So, I decide I want to go down on 40 kg. All I have to do it stop eating
and exercise.
It can’t be that hard. I have done it before.
I will just start exercising tonight and then I will go from there. I
decide that I give myself 3 months.
That’s 10 kilos per month.
It should be possible. I just have to set my mind on it and even if I
lost a little less each month
it would be ok for I’m not really as heavy as I pretend to be. I
fall alseep over my calculations
and wake up again some time in the afternoon. I feel peckish.
For a moment I forget my diet plan and think about what I could eat. I
decide for some pasta
with a rich tomato sauce.
I’m good today since I’m actually willing to cook instead
of going back to the grocery store.
The diet thoughts keep creeping
up into my mind again but I push them aside and decide to go for it tomorrow.
So I cook.
I actually cook for an entire family.
And I eat for an entire family. It’s starting to dawn, so some of
my favourite series will be on.
I watch television and finish all the pasta. I feel sick and heavy again.
The phone rings.
I’m annoyed but I do pick up. It’s my girlfriend.
She says loads of sugar-covered things to me. She keeps on telling me
I’m beautiful.
She must be lying for some obscure reason.
I know I’m not. I’m glad when the conversation is over. I
have to go to the loo.
I need to get the damn pasta out.
It keeps coming up all the time, so I better go before my interior starts
digesting it and uses
it to fill my fat cells even more.
The vomit looks like worms in blood. Millions of little white worms.
I have to go through the Evian scenario again before
brushing my teeth. I am dizzy and I feel weak. I should be exercising
but I don’t have the strength.
I go back to the couch and lie down watching more television.
Some time around midnight I have regained some strength and force myself
to the computer.
I have to write a mail to my girlfriend and make up some useful things
I have done over the day.
I write those to other people, too: how I’ve been to uni and how
I studied at home and
how I have cleaned. I look around me.
This place looks like a mess but nobody will ever know.
It’s late.
No, it’s actually already early since some peole in the front building
are probably
getting up to get ready for work. They have a life and I don’t.
But tomorrow everything
will be better since I will start on my diet. As the sun begings to rise
I collapse into bed and fall asleep.
I’m still wearing my sleeping clothes.

MEL GIBSON´S PASSION OF CHRIST
Why
did Mel Gibson make this film I wonder ! As if Christ hadn´t suffered
enough ?
It´s pure TORTURE to watch. I spent 3 hours in absolute HELL watching
this dreadful film,
which in my book should never have been made.
For
what reason was this film made ? How vulgar and overly dramatic to make
such a picture full of
pain and suffering of another human being (or God´s son as millions
believe he is). I can see no
reason why this picture had to be made. I didn´t enjoy it for one
moment and the actor who played
the lead role lacked the LOVE, Jesus is legendary for giving out to everyone
he met.
A
lot of people might have liked it, but why would an actor like Mel Gibson
make such a film ONLY
about Jesus´ last moments with the most horrendous torture imaginable.
If Gibson wanted to tell the
whole Jesus story (which has been done numerous times by Hollywood, but
this time in the original
language, the only strong point in the movie) he should have made a trilogy
about Christ´s childhood,
adult life, his message (which did not come across in this movie if you
ask me) and all the
rest of what Jesus really was all about. Not just his suffering. That
tells us more about
Mel Gibson´s view of story and how he loves to present all the pain
to the movie audience,
as if the world didn´t have enough pain.
If
there is any good message coming from this film, it should be a HUGE wake-up
call for all those
people who run the world and makes war, and for the soldiers who torture
and humiliate and
mistreat innocent prisoners.....to make them SEE what they are doing and
make them understand
what unspeakable evilness they have inside of their cruel hearts, to make
them do these unbelievable
things to other people. It´s been going on forever and is still
happening every day, even as we speak.

Oscar
Winner Sir Peter Ustinov Dies at 82
1 hour, 43 minutes ago, SUNDAY -- 28 March 2004
By JONATHAN FOWLER, Associated Press Writer
GENEVA - Sir Peter Ustinov (news), a brilliant wit and mimic who won two
Oscars (news - web sites)
for an acting career that ranged from the evil Nero in "Quo Vadis"
to the quirky Agatha Christie
detective Hercule Poirot, has died. He was 82.
• Peter Ustinov - biography and filmography (Yahoo! Movies)
Ustinov, a renaissance man whose talents included writing plays, movies
and novels as
well as directing operas, also devoted himself to the world's children
for more 30 years
as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF (news - web sites).
He died of heart failure Sunday night in a Genolier clinic near his home
at Bursins in Swiss
vineyards overlooking Lake Geneva, close friend Leon Davico, a former
UNICEF spokesman,
told The Associated Press. "He was a great man. He was a human being.
He was a unique person,
someone you could really count on," said Davico.
Born in London on April 16, 1921, the only son of a Russian artist mother
and a
journalist father,
Ustinov claimed also to have Swiss, Ethiopian, Italian and French blood
—
everything except English. Ustinov delighted in national differences and
frequently
referred to them in his works and public appearances. He was — as
he noted proudly in his
autobiography "Dear Me" — conceived in St. Petersburg,
Russia, baptized in a village near
Stuttgart, Germany, and reared under a succession of Cameroonian, Irish
and German nurses.
His imposing figure, variously described as resembling a teddy bear, a
giant panda or a Georgian
frontage, began 12 pounds at birth and stayed with him throughout his
career.
Ustinov made some 90 movies and also written books and plays.
He directed films,
plays and operas. His narration of Tchaikovsky's "Peter and the Wolf"
won him a Grammy.
Among his film roles were a nomad in the outback who befriends a family
in "The Sundowners,"
a one-eyed slave in "The Egyptian," Poirot in "Death on
the Nile," and Abdi Aga, an illiterate tyrant
with pretensions of learning in "Memed My Hawk."
Ustinov won best supporting actor Oscars for the role of Batiatus, owner
of the gladiator school
in "Spartacus" (1960), and as Arthur Simpson, an English small-time
black marketeer in Turkey
who gets caught up in a jewel heist in "Topkapi" (1965). His
Nero — the Roman emperor who presided
over the throwing of Christians to the lions — won him a Golden
Globe for best supporting actor in
the 1951 movie "Quo Vadis."
He also won three television Emmys, portraying the English lexicographer
Samuel Johnson in
"Dr. Johnson" and as Socrates in "Barefoot in Athens."
In "A Storm in Summer," his Emmy
came for playing an aged Jewish delicatessen owner in Long Island at grips
with racial
prejudice in the shape of a proud black youth. He directed, wrote the
screenplay and starred
in the 1962 movie "Billy Budd." He was performing by age 3,
mimicking politicians of the
day when his parents invited Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie for dinner.
His first attempts at acting were in the disguise of a pig in a dramatized
nursery rhyme, as Friar
Tuck of Robin Hood fame and as one of three nymphs tempting Ulysses from
an Aegean beach.
"Ulysses wisely passed us by," he recalled. He was educated
at the prestigious Westminster School,
but hated it. Ustinov left Westminster at 16.
He appeared in his first revue and had his first stage play presented
in London in 1940,
when he was 19.
Ustinov turned producer at 21 when he presented "Squaring the
Circle" shortly before he
entered the British army in 1942.
If his plays had a continuing theme, it was a celebration of the little
man
bucking the system.
One of his most successful was "The Love of Four Colonels" which
ran for two years in
London's West End. Davico, who was starting his career with UNICEF, asked
Ustinov to join
the U.N. children's agency as a goodwill ambassador after seeing the play.
Ustinov later became a staunch advocate for UNESCO (news - web sites),
the United Nations
(news - web sites) Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
"He never said no to
anything UNICEF or the rest of United Nations asked him to do," said
Davico.
Davico said Ustinov recently attended a UNICEF event despite needing a
wheelchair —
sciatica gave him trouble walking, and diabetes left him with 30 percent
vision and foot problems.
Ustinov's long service as a United Nations goodwill ambassador led U.N.
Secretary-
General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) to joke that Ustinov was the man
to take over from him.
He later set up a foundation dedicated to understanding between people
across the globe
and between generations.
"I think knowing people is the best way of getting rid of prejudices.
When I was young,
I was brought up in an atmosphere which was just loaded with prejudices,"
he said in 2001.
More recently he was the voice of Babar the Elephant, played the role
of
a doctor in the
film Lorenzo's Oil, and in 1999 appeared as the Walrus to Pete Postlethwaite's
Carpenter in a
multimillion-dollar TV movie version of "Alice in Wonderland."
Michael Winner, who directed Ustinov as Poirot in the 1988 movie
"Appointment With Death,"
described the actor as a "marvelous man, a great wit, a great raconteur,
a man of the world."
"He was a very good actor but he wasn't used as an actor as much
as he should have been
because he became famous as Peter Ustinov," Winner told The Associated
Press
in a telephone interview.
Ustinov treated getting older the way he treated everything else in his
life — as another
experience to be added to his repertoire of anecdotes, quips and material
for books.
When he turned 60 in 1981, Ustinov was asked if he was tempted to take
things a little easier.
"I only feel 59," he said.
"But what really surprises me," he added, "is that I don't
say many different things now than
I did when I was 20. The only difference is that having white hair means
that people tend to listen
now while they never did before."
It was an attitude that stayed with him as he turned 80.
"Why should one slow down? I don't quite understand it," he
said in an interview with
The Associated Press in 2001.
When he was knighted by the Queen of England in 1990, his main worry was
how to reply
to the invitation from Buckingham Palace.
"The invitation said, 'Delete whichever is inapplicable: I can kneel
— I cannot kneel.'
But there was nothing for those who can kneel but not get up," Ustinov
recalled.
But he remained active until close to his death, playing himself in the
2003
TV movie "Winter Solstice."
Ustinov was married three times, and is survived by his four
children and his third wife.
He had one daughter with his first wife, Isolde Denham, from whom he was
divorced in
1950 after a decade-long marriage.
He married Suzanne Cloutier in 1954. They had two daughters and a son
—
noted sculptor Igor Ustinov. The couple divorced in 1971, the year they
moved to Switzerland.
Ustinov married his third wife, Helene du Lau d'Allemans, in 1972.
No immediate details funeral arrangements were available.

DEAR
PETER USTINOV,
WHAT
YOU HAVE MEANT TO ME IS NOT TO BE DESCRIBED.
THE WORLD AND MY OWN WORLD HAS LOST ONE OF THE GREATEST
AND MOST GIFTED PEOPLE, SOLDIERS OF PEACE AND A GENIOUS NOT
TO BE REACHED !
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING !!!
LOVE,
LUCAS ......March, 29 2004
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I
wrote a song called “DESTINY” and one called “CONFRONTATIONS”…about my
life.
I
say many things in these songs….a little example:
“I
was born under a very special star…surrounded by an aura you can see from
near and far.
Every single moment of my life is like dream….full of strange coincidences…
I´m trying to find out what it means.
And we´re searching for a place to be….finding a power to give us eternal
energy……
Oh life is our Destiny”
…………and more..more more, because no matter how much I am trying to tell
people
about the things that are happening in my life…or the songs and stories
I write,
it will NEVER be anywhere near the real experiences and fascinating adventures
life is
constantly offering me.
I was different from all the other children when I was a child….
very independent spirit-child…..
like a visitor from outer space….and alien….a cosmic individual born
on this earth in a male body.
I
got older, but was still equally different from everyone else, and not
only from my
kids in my own agegroup,
but just in general.
I
always saw things, other people didn´t see….I always went through things
a lot of
people couldn´t relate to.
I always felt like an outsider, and was treated like one all the time
too. Later on
I found that to be an absolute asset, whereas in the beginning I was very
sad about not
feeling like I was fitting in anywhere.
I
was strong, quite demanding, and craved quite a considerable mount
of attention as a child.
I
was acting, perfoming…..being someone else than myself.
I
was a loner and much older and mature than my years…
and looked older too.
When I was 7 years old I had my first sexual experience, and a lot of
people thought I was 10.
When I was 11, people thought I was 14….and when I was 15, people thought
I was 20…..
and since I was 21,
a lot of people have guessed me to be late 20´s early 30´s.
I have always had to face a good deal of obstacles, and I have lived
in a very analysing
and psychological world
since my childhood and had a strong connection with spirituality, which
must NOT
be confused with religion, cos those two unfortunately doesn´t always
go hand in hand.
A
lot of religious people are often full of fear and narrow-minded cruelty…
and even though some of them
preach wise words of spirituality, they do just the opposite, and have
no idea
whatsoever to live the life they preach.
The
spiritual connection came to me by itself. I don´t recall seeking
for it,
at least not consciously. I am actually an agnostic, brought up by an
atheist father
and a new-wave astrological mother, who actually introduced me to the
spiritual world.
THINGS
began to happen in my life at an early stage. I had to meet certain
people, and go through things
and situations, that I later on discovered, obviously was exactly the
right pieces
in my life´s big puzzle…
a sure thing: OF COURCE I had to have these experiences. It allll fits
together.
The people we meet….
our love affairs, friends, family relations, work, problems, happiness,
travels and people we meet. Now,
I have learned to wish for things or people
and situations….and it/they will materialize/appear within a quite
short period of time.
I
can feel when certain people are near….when things will happen,
when a person is good for me or not.
I SEEE !!! I
see LIFE ! I see people
! I see EVERYTHING !!!
I may also analyze life too much, but that
deffinately does not keep me from having new, exiting and even super natural
encounters
and adventures, even if some things are only little “unexplainable” “coincidences”.
I
have been told many different things about myself, by MANY different and
interesting people from all walks of life.
Speaking
of different walks of life……I have always LOVED the finest grand
upper-class lifestyle, and the lowest out-casts of the low-class…..
but I have always loathed the middle-class !!!
They are the dominating majority in the western world, and deffinately
in
my home country Denmark.
The working-class as they are called. I guess I am also part of the NORMAL
working-class, but I never felt like I was.
If
people don´t fit in...in the working-middle-class,
there seems to be no golden way.
That
is why I love the more exstreme. The delightfully intriguing difference
between the posh and the trashy…
and the many underground societies both politically, sexually, religiously
and spiritually.
EXSTREME
personalities and fascinating human beings always came to me
and I was drawn to them too.
It was often the more experimental and the “very mental” individuals who
graced
my life with their presence.
The wonderfully crazy-spacy-fun-in-the-sun-artistic-life-explorers
like myself !!!
I also sometimes find myself
in the company of the more explodingly exploitive type !!!
BUT,
I never fit in under just one group of people…I simply allow myself to
be
everywhere life takes me, if I find it interesting….and see life from
so many angles.
A total expectator voyeur and my friends includes
everyone and everything FROM:
Artists, bikers, nuns, whores, punks, businessmen,
religious cult followers,
porn-stars, soldiers, goth´s, writers/singers/actors……
TO: Political activists,
computer nerds, lawyers, health
specialists and unimplyees….who just wasn´t born to work and have
a so-called normal job !!!
These
great people are all friends of mine, and I know a lot of wonderful people
and I have some friends
who means more to me than anything in life…..
but some of my closest friends are actually the most nomal
ones with a very normal job and a normal life…..but they have something
absolutely
divine about them which makes me love them.
EVERYTHING happens for a reason…..and the people we meet……
we meet for a reason.
They might not all be there forever, but they will be there for as long
as we need them.
Until the circle is completed.
It´s not just plain coincidences that certain things are happening……
there is a red shread…a red line between
all of the people we know and situations we find ourselves in. We are
combined….
and our magnetic aura field attracted us to whatever soul or situation
we come across in this life….
or perhaps in alllll over lives, if we talk reincarnation.

is so dramatic, so amazing, so exiting !
everybody
LOVES sex.
well,
without sex we wouldn´t be here, none of us.
the
love, the sex, the drama, the union, the passion.
sex
is in the mind.
an
aroused male with a lusting female
going
inside, in and out, up and down, that´s no sin...so just begin...
and then you will win...and your head will spin.
kissing
is outrageously sexy. a total turn-on.
it´s
not just the union between man and woman, it´s the chase,
the need, the need to belong, the need to be loved, the need to
clime a mountain of insane desire, a fountain of body juices blending
together and climaxing with the great anticipated and needed explosion.
the
orgasm is holy. to cum is to live and to be
eternally young and happy.
why
fear your sexuality, no matter what and who you are attracted to.
be glad you are a
fantastic sexual being. sexplore
the world and don´t be ashamed
of your sexual intensity.
but
to be faithful in a relationship is for me very important.
i need to belong and to be loved
and worshipped, almost like a GOD, ha ha......i am not ashamed of that.
i am the king of my own beloved´s world. in her life i am the male ruler.
we unite and unite and unite, we love and we sacrifiZe.
a
total god-like worship of the other.
sexual
activity is MEKKA, NIRVANA, HEAVEN, The MOON,
The SUN.........everything !!!!!!!!!
Send
Cinderella
inside
........to
show her love for me, ha ha

"MAGTESLØS
OVERFOR
GUD" !!!
Magtesløs, følelseskold verden.
Dette er en egocentrisk, dyrisk, sindssyg verden – et vanvittigt ”indfald”
fra GUD´s side. GUD !!! Hvem
???
Hvem er det ? Nåe – ham –
HAM.
HAM der tillader krige, pinsler, psykopater, åndsvage kærlighedsforhold
og magtbegærlige krigsliderlige diktatorer.
Jeg er magtesløs !
Lille mig.
Jeg synes at jeg SÉR verden. Jeg synes at jeg sér hele verden foran mig.
OG alle de mennesker jeg møder.
Jeg føler mig spirituel – og såååå uendeligt magtesløs overfor alle disse
fordærvede krafter der er på spil.
Men, verden er da også smuk.
Jeg trækker ikke i land ved at sige dette.
Jeg elsker jorden og dens mangfoldighed. Men vores frygt skaber splid.
Frygten skaber lidelser.
Frygten skaber hærskesyge sataner.
Frygten skaber også religion....for vi ka da ikke bare være døde og ha´
levet forgæves hvis vi bliver slået ihjel ???
Alle disse spørgsmål.
Hvornår går det op for menneskene at de bare er dyr ?
Simple dyr, med dyriske drifter.
Dyr med højere stående intelligens.
Dyr der parer sig dejligt og intenst i flæng. Sex er skønt og eventyrligt.
Sex er drivkraften bag mange.
Mange mennesker lever for at elske, og mange elsker for at leve......
ligesåvel som mange mennesker omvendt spiser for at leve
og andre lever for at spise..........som små fede grise.....ligesom slikke
Lise fra Karise,
der åd så hun måtte fise !
Forhåbentligt er der mange der nyder at lever i denne
verden, hvis de vel og mærke
undlader at se TV-Avis med de mange rædsler,
som var det en film af Alfred Hitchcock med Freddie Krueger i hovedrollen.
Og...nu siger de oven i købet at det bare var et trick
at man har været på Månen...
det var ikke virkelighed. INGEN har været på Månen,
det var bare det var bare et af filmhistoriens største tricks, for at
USA igen kunne vise deres magt og
evindelige ”væren på forkant med
tiden” overfor hele menneskeheden der i 1969 kiggede med ”live” på fjerneren.
Vi er skøre – og livet er en vittighed
Gud hvor GUD må more sig over alle dem der står for skud og ender som
en optrævlet karklud.
Måske er vi figurer i GUD´s computerspil ? En verden af stål.
HVORFOR – HVORDAN – HVORNÅR .....er konstante spørgsmål
i vores liv.
Der er ingen at stole på, udover vores gamle Mor.......og
hun er ej heller altid en Moder Teresa.
Er der virkeligt nogen mennesker overhovedet man ka´ ta´ for givet i sit
liv ???
Måske kan du – men jeg kan ikke – og i virkeligheden er vi alle alene.
DER ER INGEN DER BARE ER DER FOR OS.....så simpelt er det menneske !!!!
Vi er jo ikke herre over vores egen skæbne.......kun med gode tanker kan
vi lede os selv på den
rette vej til det bedst mulige liv.
TÆNK.....TÆNK engang at nogle mennesker faktisk har
været herre over andres skæbne....
og bestemt at et andet menneske måtte
ikke længere blive ved med at leve !!!
Det er en ufattelig tanke. Uhyggeligt og skræmmende.......og
så er der midt i det hele nogen
der er arrogante: ”Jeg ved mér end dig” –
Tjuhej – GU GØR DE EJ !!!
Livet er jo smukt
JA.....
JAAAHHHHHH.........LIVET ER JO SMUKT,
Ik´ sant GUD ??? Hvor er du henne lige nu ???

Hindus outraged by Tina
Turner's role as goddess
By Rajeev Syal and Ishara Bhasi
(Filed: 07/03/2004)

Tina Turner, the rock star, has enraged
Hindus in Britain by agreeing to play an Indian goddess
in a new British film production. Shakti represents female power
and energy
She will portray Shakti, the symbol of female power and energy, in The
Goddess, a film to be made by
Ismail Merchant and James Ivory, the Anglo-Indian duo best known for A
Room with a View,
Howards End and The Remains of the Day.
Hindu organisations in Britain are threatening to picket cinemas that
show the film,
claiming that Ms Turner's sexually charged stage image is inappropriate
for the role.
Tina Turner's 'sexually charged' image is 'inappropriate'
Hasmukh Shah, the chairman of Vishwa Hindu Parishad UK, a fundamentalist
group, said:
"These people would not dare to portray anything to do with Islam,
but Hindus are easy targets for them.
Our liberal attitude is taken for granted and our tolerance is exploited.
But when pushed,
Hindus will become intolerant.
"Why don't they get a rock star to portray the Prophet Mohammed and
see the wrath of Muslims?
They wouldn't dare. Casting Tina Turner is insensitive and we won't stand
for it."
In Hinduism, Shakti is the female aspect of divinity and a manifestation
of energy who is
worshipped in temples across India. Shakti is often worshipped in various
forms such as the
goddesses Devi, Kali, Parvati and Lakshmi.
Hindu Human Rights, another British-based Hindu organisation, is circulating
a petition to be
presented to Merchant-Ivory Productions condemning the film.
It criticises the choice of Ms Turner because of her reputation as a sex
symbol.
"We have no quarrel with Ms Turner as such, but because of her reputation
as a
'sex icon' it is improper to cast her," it reads. So far, they have
gained 1,000 signatures.
Ms Turner, 65, has already toured India to steep herself in its culture.
She has been a Buddhist for more than 20 years.
In the film, she will sing Indian classical songs in English, Latin and
Sanskrit
composed by Zakir Hussain, India's leading performer of the tabla, a small
set of drums.
She is also learning classical dance for the film, which will also feature
Matthew Modine,
star of Le Divorce.

Ms Turner is famed for her highly charged stage shows dating back to the
1960s when she first appeared with Ike, her then husband.
Her hit songs include River Deep Mountain High, What's Love Got To Do
With It?
and GoldenEye, the theme to the James Bond film. Her acting roles include
appearing alongside
Mel Gibson in the film Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
Mr Merchant last week defended the choice of Ms Turner.
"Shakti is the centre of female energy, and anyone who has seen
Tina Turner on stage knows that the energy she radiates is incredible,"
he said.
Mr Merchant, an Indian-born Muslim, said that some critics might actually
harbour
racist views because Ms Turner is of African descent.
There is no suggestion, however, that either Vishwa Hindu Parishad UK
or
Hindu Human Rights hold racist views.
Ms Turner said: "India is special to me, and I hope I can do the
role some justice."
TINA....you
rock....just show them what you can do !!!!

GRÆNSEPSYKOSERNE
1: Usikkert selvbillede og identitetsfølelse (“hvem
er jeg”).
Ofte en kronisk følelse af indre tomhed og livslede.
2: Primitivt, skrøbeligt forsvar centreret omkring splitting,
benægten og projektiv identifikation.
3: Letvagt angst, svigtende impulskontrol og svigtende evne til sublimering
-
det vil sige svigtende evne til at forvalte driftsimpulser i konstruktiv
retning -
betinget af et svagt, uudviklet ego.
4: Paranoide og hypokondre forestillinger.
5: Voldsomme humørsvingninger og letvakt aggressionsberedskab.
Aggressioner er ofte den dominerende følelse.
6: Mikro-psykotiske episoder. Under pres bliver den grænsepsykotiske
patient let psykotisk i kortere perioder.
7: Forholdet til andre er præget af kontaktambivalens, hvilket betyder,
at den grænsepsykotiske både vil og ikke vil have en nærhed.
Er vedkommende for “langt” fra den anden, giver det en følelse
af forladthed.
Bliver forholdet for tæt, udløses angst.
8: “Orale reaktionsformer”. Ofte ses stof- og alkoholmisbrug
samt tvangsspisning.
Mange bulimikere og anorektikere har en grundlæggende
grænsepsykotisk personlighedsstruktur.
9: Ofte ses usikker kønsidentitet, afvigende seksuelle fantasier
og behov,
der kan virke skræmmende på patienten. Ikke sjældent
ses en
sammenblanding af orale, anale og genitiale fantasier farvet af sadomasochistiske
træk.
10: Diskrete tankeforstyrrelser, vaghed i tænkningen og en snørklet,
privat sprogbrug der kan være svær at opdage i almindelig
samtale,
men optræder tydeligt i psykologisk testning.
NARCISSISTISKE
PERSONLIGHEDSFORSTYRRELSER
1: En svingende selvfølelse. Det ene øjeblik er individet
domineret af
følelsen af almagt og ufejlbarlighed for i det næste øjeblik
at føle dyb afmagt,
skam, mindreværd og selvhad.
2: Stor sårbarhed overfor kritik.
3: En indre følelse af tomhed, manglende livslyst og meningløshed.
Oplevelsen af et diffust savn, rastløshed og manglende engagement.
Dette resulterer ofte i en stadig jagt efter stimulanser og lystoplevelser,
som kan give intensitet og livsfylde.
4: Hypokonder-klager. Grundlaget for en optagethed af egne kropsfunktioner
er en panisk angst for fysisk forfald og for at blive gammel.
5: Et umætteligt behov for andres opmærksomhed og beundring.
Et stadigt eksisterende behov for at være i centrum med stor sensibilitet
overfor andres meninger og reaktioner, hvilket står i dyb kontrast
til en
påfaldende mangel på dyb interesse og indføling i andre.
6: Et forstyrret forhold til andre mennesker. Andre bliver typisk
opfattet som rekvisitter i den narcissistiske persons iscenesættelse
af sit liv.
Forholdet til andre er ofte præget af en dyb mangel på respekt;
og forholdet til andre veksler - i lighed med selvopfattelsen -
imellem urealistisk idealisering og voldsom devaluering.
7: Angst for afhængighed. Den narcissistiske personlighed har behov
for andres kærlighed og beundring for at blive bekræftet,
men huser
dyb angst for at blive afhængig og derved udsætte sig for
faren for at
kunne blive svigtet.
8: Tilstedeværelsen af uforarbejdet misundelse, jalousi og vrede
overfor andre, som besidder noget, individet selv mangler.
9: Hyppigt ses seksuelle forstyrrelser. Seksuallivet er ofte tilsyneladende
rigt med flere skiftende partnere, men i virkeligheden er det mangelfuldt,
fordi evnen til egentlig seksuel tilfredsstillelse og dybere kontaktt
til andre
er mangelfuld. Dette hænger sammen med, at den narcissistiske personlighed
reagerer med angst på alt, som truer kontrollen over det svage jeg.
Det seksuelle samvær bliver oftere en aspontan præstationsorienteret
affære med henblik på at stabilisere selvfølelsen.
10: Som følge af de ovennævnte punkter, men også på
grund af
splitting- forsvar, projektiv identifikation og benægten,
ses hyppigt en usikker identitetsfølelse.
