I used to read Edgar Cayce a lot. That's back when I had extraordinarily vivid dreams that were often psychic. Honest! You Were a Swan You are a spiritual soul who sees into the future. You are also good at interpreting dreams - those of yourself and others. What Animal Were You In a Past Life? Who is Edgar Cayce? See here and here .

Anger is normal but what about rage? I am slow to anger. As long as the other party is being honest with me. Without truth on both sides, it would not be possible to communicate on an equal footing. I think, unexpressed anger turns into rage. But what is rage? "There is research available that suggests that suppressed anger is an underlying ingredient both of anxiety and of depression. Anger that is not expressed can kindle and erupt in a manner that disrupts relationships and can lead to a variety of medical problems. Frequently the underlying anger is related to a perceived loss of control over factors affecting our integrity—our beliefs and how we feel about ourselves". "In some cases, the anger has to do with the inability to meet unrealistic expectations (our own or those who have expectations of us). Rage is a shame-based expression of that anger. Rage is the accumulation of unexpressed anger and perceived disrespectful transactions that after multiple '

Something to think about: " Depression is rage directed inwards ." Words from Lorraine Bracco's character in the hit TV series, The Sopranos. Makes me think: Rage? Me? Could it be that I have an enormous amount of rage in my mind? By the way, The Sopranos is a TV series that "revolves around mobster Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) and the difficulties he faces as he tries to balance the often conflicting requirements of his home life and the criminal organization he heads". The show is noted for TV writing that's "heavily symbolic and had large number of psychological, philosophical, social and political themes and motifs". "Frequently criticized for allegedly perpetuating negative stereotypes about Italian Americans. In 2000, Essex County officials denied producers permission to film on county-owned property, arguing that the show depicts Italian Americans in a "less than favorable light." "The Sopranos is the most fin

This post is dedicated to one of the best, if not the best entrecard dropper, ever for this blog. Windmill on the Hill or Windmill, as he is also known is the man behind the "thousand voices talking perfectly loud". He thinks , "nobody ever hears him". On the contrary, it looks like he has gained so many blogging friends along the way. That sure includes me. Thanks so much Windy. My sincere appreciation Windmill on the hill !!! I must not also forget to apologize for failing to return Windmill's daily drops. As previously mentioned somewhere in this blog, access to our computer has been deadly tough lately. Aside from that, it was nearly impossible to do ec dropping on this blog. Some technical issues I had with my ibanag in the city ec account got in the way. But since all these seem to have been resolved lately, I hope I will do better from now on. Cheers!

And I really thought he was the real deal In 2006, when my daughter was based in Jakarta, Indonesia, she spent her free time reading books that "helped her get educated in personal finances". I didn't know that she was reading Robert Kiyosaki, of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series. In fact, at about the same time a former colleague of mine, an IT expert, first mentioned it to me. That friend was all praises for Kiyosaki for all his practical advice on entrepreneurship. That was that. Before proceeding to Singapore, where she is now based, my daughter decided to send back home her extra baggage. From the large pile of books, I found in her possession many, many books by Kiyosaki and loads of reading materials on 'financial freedom'. To make this story short, I read the Kiyosaki books until I was almost convinced. I thought about posting some of the more interesting information I got along my reading journey. As a final step, I decided to google Robert Kiyos

Some of us are helping get this book called The Y Factor in the hands of as many individuals as possible. For those who may be interested in understanding the Filipino youth - why they act the way they do or why they seem to be so hooked on themselves first and look at others later, this book can serve as a road map to guide the way.
