Paracusia: The Loud Unconscious Mind

I'm not someone who believes in psychic abilities very much. That said I have a friend who felt my pain from an ocean away and never having met me before called me up and that's how we met and became friends.

As a child, she suffered a traumatic brain injury that left her open to picking up things the rest of us filter out. I think someday there might be a scientific explanation for her but I haven't found it yet!

Me, however...

My unconscious will lose my phone when I don't want to talk to someone. It will lose my keys whenever I don't want to go somewhere. I've had to fight with it my whole life because it doesn't take responsibility or financial costs seriously.

Those things are fairly normal for most people.

What makes my unconscious mind a bit different is it shows me things, hallucinations of truths, this usually happens only when I'm meditating but sometimes when I'm not expecting it.

In social situations, it can make things a bit awkward.

I don't mean to "see" things about people they don't want me to know, but my unconscious picks up on micro-expressions, body language, the scents people give off that reveal their emotions and behavioral patterns.

The pattern recognition software my brain has is pretty awesome but several times in my life this "gift" got me into a lot of trouble. Like at a wedding when I was a child and I told the groom he was only going to be the bride's first husband. He was not happy with me and he decided in that moment I must have said it because our family didn't like him, which wasn't what happened, but regardless the couple did get divorced and he did not have a very good relationship with my family after that.

Paracusia: Hearing one's thoughts as though someone is speaking to them.

Mirror Neurons: Cause us to feel empathy and give us the ability to mimic another's thought patterns

I have some highly developed mirror neurons that sometimes go a bit overboard with some people. So sometimes I hear a voice telling me what another person needs to hear. It's a bit disconcerting but I've gotten used to it.

I used to think I would end up one of those crazy people talking to myself on the side of the street but thankfully I'm not quite schizophrenic yet!

No Greater Love

In my marriage, I grew cold and distant, I was dark emptiness taking up a small space. When the marriage inevitably ended, I was left wondering if I was capable of love at all. Wondering if my coldness led to the death of something great for many people. Since then I've tried a few tepid attempts at love, with each trial showing me new errors. People say, "You just haven't met the right person yet," but that isn't true. Relationships fail not because there is some mystical magical right person out there for each of us but rather because we are human and being human means failing sometimes. (Of course, just because there is no "right one" that doesn't mean there aren't wrong ones. There are after all a few truly terrible people mucking about in the world but these are the exceptions, not the rule.) I am currently a failure at relationships, but with each failure, I learn and grow, and eventually, I will be a fantastic success at one relati...

The Wonders Of Finding A CF Partner

Finally dating a man who is childfree. Before this I'd only dated one other who was childfree but that relationship didn't last long. I now get why the childfree community is all about only dating other childfree people. I feel truly accepted by my significant other. I get the whole being on the same page thing. It isn't just being child free though, we're both non religious, highly into psychology and self development, and good with money. However the childfree aspect specifically has brought to light many areas of fulfillment my previous relationships were missing. I feel secure in the relationship at a level I never have. Once my husband left for another woman because he knocked her up... I didn't feel like I was enough. In this relationship, I feel powerful. I don't question my choices, i.e. wondering how much I should sacrifice to make my partner happy and what compromises I should make. I feel accepted as a woman. He doesn't question if I have maternal...

Does a Matching 401K compare with the benefits of MLM?

 When you retire what will you remember the most? After my first retirement from MLM, my fondest memories were accidentally giving an entire third world village shoes, knowing we dropped $50,000 like it was spare change to get brain surgery for a DL's mother, it was the reuniting of brothers and it was life flighting special formula in to save a newborn for the child of a grocery store attendant in Costa Rica. Would I trade all that for a 401K?  Not in a hundred years. The power of network marketing isn't in the giant paychecks but in the community. It is a culture of self development, a culture of friendship, a culture of helping others. I have been so blessed to make friends all over the country. Ben Newcomb drove 5 hours one way to help me when Alex's vehicle broke down on our way back from picking up his abducted daughter. When I was pregnant Rhonda Hines sent tea for my nausea. Thousands offered me incredible emotional support throughout my ten year divorce from David ...
