      My problem with Rhoberta's psychology when she points to "understanding" the roots of anger/rage as a route to healing is that it cannot produce freedom from your bondage. (I know this because I knew the emotional and spiritual roots of my rage for the full 25 years that I struggled with my it and that understanding didn't help me one bit. Only knowing "truth" can set you free. Understanding our past pain's roots doesn't produce truth or "freedom" from the pain. Only the truth that Jesus talks about at http://is.gd/NwDqOu can do that. gfp
  • trouble in relationships
  • We have to learn to manage incoming anger, too.
  • one of the greatest gifts we can give ourselves
  • you may not have any boundaries
  • Anger is healthy. It is natural. It is a gift of perception, experience and biology

    Anger is one of the most powerful emotions and the most challenging one to manage for most people. Some of us can't "manage" it ...at all. At best, some of us can ONLY moderate our reaction to our amygdala's response to our perception of a violation of our so-called rights. That's why Essential #1 is so crucial. (I know because I fought a losing battle with anger/rage for over 25 years until recently when I re-discovered a truth that I had forgotten as a Jesus Follower. Yeh! We're NOT perfect ...just saved as someone said.)

Evangelist leaves celebrity psychiatrist tongue-tied - 0 views

  • He explained when he started asking them specific questions, he was able to convince them to take another view of abortion in America. He asked if the students, at the point of a Nazi gun, would use a bulldozer to shovel Jews into a burial pit even if they were alive.
  • the mindless determination that Jews, gypsies and homosexuals in World War II were less than human and could be exterminated to contemporary America’s determination that the unborn are less than human, providing a constant stream of death to feed the abortion industry.

Modern Wheat Is A Stealth Killer - 0 views

  • This is a way to obtain the rich flavors and textures of cocoa, the health benefits (e.g., blood pressure reduction, antioxidation) of cocoa flavonoids, while obtaining none of the sugars/carbohydrates . . . and certainly no wheat!
  • Pumpkin pie is one of those fixtures of Thanksgiving dinner that, when recreated without wheat, can be enjoyed without worry.
  • Sadly, cholesterol values can be a crude and often misleading set of measures.

  • conventional cholesterol values are next to useless. Tracking the right data is crucial.
  • most people don’t measure this
  • small LDL is the #1 most common cause for heart disease in the U.S., not “high cholesterol.” Wheat consumption increases small LDL particles; wheat elimination is the most powerful tool available for reduction of small LDL particles, particularly when combined with weight loss.
  • CRP and other measures of inflammation drop to the floor with wheat elimination.
  • Wheat products are a convenient source of indigestible fiber. But the idea that you must have whole grains from wheat to obtain sufficient fiber is pure fiction. There are plenty of other foods that are rich in fiber.
  • non-wheat fibers low in carbohydrates, especially flaxseed and chia.
  • They do not have any effect on blood sugar.
  • wheat consumption changes the bacterial composition of your intestinal tract. Taking a probiotic for a few weeks can provide organisms like lactobacillus and bifidobacterium that help regain normal bacterial populations.
  • So going wheat-free does not mean a lifetime of pushing and straining,

    Modern wheat, especially whole wheat contributor to the pandemic of arthritis, cancer, Type II Diabetes, obesity and all lifestyle diseases. And when it doesn't, wheat is still a "Stealth Killer" of men, women and our children and grandchildren Ours is NOT the wheat our Grandmas used to bake with! And this is true no matter where you live in the world because Canadian-designed hybridized-wheat has been spread everywhere ...even into isolated areas of China because of it's yields! It's additional huge benefit (pun intended) is "Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight"! gfp (2011-11-26)

    I was shocked too when I first learned the truth about wheat sugar because it's not politically-correct. Doctors, government bureaucrats, nutritionists and wellness societies refuse to admit to what has become clear ...wheat is a killer. Supporting whole grains, without question, when the research, as well as anecdotal testimony, is in, is like still promoting blood-letting long after it had been disproved as effective or healthy for us. gfp

Sharia Myths & Facts - Muslim Canadian Congress - 0 views

  • the fight against sharia courts was started and led by Muslims, many of whom have had personal experience with sharia and left their former countries to escape it.
  • If it was divine, there would only be one version of it. Instead there are almost as many versions as there are Muslim communities. Moreover, it has evolved over time. The Sharia laws were developed by men and owe more to their cultures than to the Quran.
  • Not only does the Quran not endorse sharia courts, the whole notion of such courts violates the letter and the spirit of the Quran.

  • the rights sharia gives women are neither the same as nor equivalent to those given to men. As such sharia is fundamentally incompatible with our Human Rights legislation.

Anger's Upside Benefits: PsyBlog - 0 views

  • The Upside of Anger

      This article argues anger is not all bad! gfp (2012-03-08)
  • research finds that anger also has its positive side
  • it make you feel bad, it makes you do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • But like all emotions anger has its purposes, which can be used to good effect.
    • Gary Patton
       
      Some argue that 'anger' is NOT an 'emotion'!
  • anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force
  • when used right, constructive anger can make you feel strong and powerful and help push you on to get what you want.
  • angry people have something in common with happy people
  • Anger is a natural reaction to being wronged by someone else and it's a way of communicating that sense of injustice.
    • Gary Patton
       
      The challenege with this so-called benefit is one may perceive they're right or being truthful when they're deceived or simply wrong!
  • if justifiable and aimed at finding a solution rather than just venting, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships.
  • Anger can also provide insight into ourselves, if we allow it.
  • Anger can motivate self-change
  • Although anger often precedes physical violence, it can also be a way of reducing violence. That's because it's a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be resolved. When others see the signal they are more motivated to try and placate the angry party.
    • Gary Patton
       
      The challenge with this rationale is the often people who express a lot of anger actually have been conditioned to control other people because it forces compaliance ... wheter the agry person is right or wrong regarding the perceived violation of their so-called rights or their need of the meoment! Some would argue that a Jesus Follower has not so-called "rights" except obedience to God's words to them! Anger is, some argue, more often than not a habitual response to a need for self-protection when our "Biblical flesh" feels threatened or out-of-control.
  • Anger can be a legitimate way to get what you want.
  • Anger is likely to work best when it's justified, if you appear powerful and when the other side's options are limited
  • anger can reduce violence, benefit relationships, promote optimism and be a useful motivating force
  • but it can just as easily be destructive
  • That's the wonder of human emotions: happy isn't always good and angry isn't always bad (although it may feel that way). An unhappy person is also more likely to spot mistakes and an angry person is highly motivated to act. We need reminding that even scary and dangerous emotions have their upsides, as long as they are used for the correct purpose.
