I did meet one guy, a schizophrenic, who heard voices, but he seemed quite clear that they weren't "real". On the other hand, can you "hear" your favourite song playing in your head, at will (I can)? Is that real, or not? Does it make a difference that the voices that one "hears" say something original (unlike the song, which clearly has something to do with recollection), and does it matter if they are malevolent in nature, or benign (my friend said that his voices said nice things!)? So many questions that are likely to go unanswered!<br /><br />I talked with a guy online who was "haunted" by these things that he called "shades". Indistinct, ghost-like spirits, they were, which he could only see at the periphery of his vision, as I recall. They would pursue him into his deepest fears with some really unpleasant stuff that they would whisper, when he wasn't looking, he said. I've no idea if he imagined them (as with my schizo friend, I think he was satisfied that they weren't really there).<br /><br />Personally, the abstract landscape of thought is a place I'm pretty familiar with, and I understand very well how to lead people out of their stuff, which generally works best by demonstrating that their stuff isn't really there, or at least, not in the way that they'd interpreted it. I think the "professionals" who are too scared to entertain their patient's fears *as if* they were real are doing themselves a grave disservice... The mentally ill and the very young are, by and large, the only ones with any imagination left, I've come to the conclusion! Everybody else has been indoctrinated into a single way of thinking that they don't really understand (as if there could ever be a single way of thinking).<br /><br />MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-21908262509889161902009-10-28T19:08:32.759-07:002009-10-28T19:08:32.759-07:00I would like to ask someone who hear voices if sh/...I would like to ask someone who hear voices if sh/she knows...<br />Never could do it.<br />It seems so invasive.<br /><br />I'll research it tomorrow.<br /><br />Oh!<br />One funny stuff:<br />"You are jealous because it's only me who is hearing the voices."<br />:)Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889189418315180865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-27232791678169954672009-10-28T19:06:36.310-07:002009-10-28T19:06:36.310-07:00I want to see it NOW!

I'm just not sure if ...I want to see it NOW!<br />:)<br />I'm just not sure if in split personality the other part really is not aware.<br />It's something I have difficulty to accept.<br />I'm a mere neurotic.<br />I don't know. I just talked to people who are diagnosed bipolar and schizo, not a compliment for the psychiatric kingdom, and in a way I can feel that they know their other part.<br />Confused right now.<br />Tired too.<br />Going to sleep and think about it tomorrow.<br />I just remembered that I've read Merleau-Ponty and he talked about a person who claimed that there was powder on her bed.<br />They put "real" powder and she said: "No! It's not the powder."<br />They have also put a manikin in a place where another person said there was someone and it was not recognized as "the one" by the person who was hallucinating<br />I'm almost sure that when hallucinating you are aware you are.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889189418315180865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-10550360218677527112009-10-28T18:34:36.746-07:002009-10-28T18:34:36.746-07:00Yeah - it's a bit "dark," but it'...Yeah - it's a bit "dark," but it's a classy movie, nevertheless - part filme noir, part private dic. De Niro plays Louis Cyphre (Lou Cyphre - Lucifer), and he's calling in the debt owed by Rourke's character, Harry Angel, a PI. I don't want to reveal too much, if you're going to watch it...<br /><br />I suppose it's the darker side of the concept... The idea that, unlike Rael and Sparrowhawk, who have the opportunity to put things right (and do so, to the best of their abilities), Angel discovers that his nemesis is the part of him that's controlling his life, but when he realizes what's been happening (his "good" side finally has total recall of events), there is no way out. I suppose, in psychiatric terms, Angel might be referred to as a genuine "split personality," where the one side doesn't know what the other's doing. As viewers (voyeurs?), of course, we know that de Niro's involved! Angel's been running from his past, which a lot of people do, of course. The difference being that most people's fears have no basis in fact.<br /><br />There's a whole bunch of other stuff going on, too. For example, Lisa Bonet's character is called "Epiphany," and seeing as she is key to the "revelation" of who Angel really is, the name is supposedly no coincidence. And there are plenty of cryptic clues as to Cyphre's true identity.<br /><br />MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-80980393232644332692009-10-28T12:24:55.987-07:002009-10-28T12:24:55.987-07:00I have to see it!

Through a careless piece of magic beyond his capability, Sparrowhawk unleashes a demon on the world, which only he can confront and defeat. It turns out to be him. Except it's not. Except it is!<br /><br />Anyway, it's years since I listened to this. I seem to remember that on one of the last tracks of the album (can't remember which), Rael finds John, but when John turns to face him, Rael is confronted not by John, but by himself. It's a brilliant device, but only works when, like here (and A Wizard of Earthsea), one is wrapped up in the story and isn't expecting it.<br /><br />MattRadagasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286529284742690239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-37710282143716823792009-10-27T12:09:40.090-07:002009-10-27T12:09:40.090-07:00Awwww!
