I am a big proponent of journalling...having a conversation with myself in physical writing. As I am rereading my writings from my past 40 years, it is enlightening to say the least. I have conversations with myself...in a forgiving healing manner. I can't believe what you have been through (me). They are all attempts to
heal trauma, often forgotten episodes from the past. Similar to Howdie Mickoskie's efforts to recapitulate a life, I am interested in continuing to explore myself and my past, heal traumas, understand my prior self. JlB , you continue to ask pertinent
questions and address big issues. This is unusual and key...thank you, best regards, db
Thank you for taking the time to leave detailed comments like this. Your kind words are much appreciated. I don't keep a journal however I do have over a decade of articles and videos and podcasts to look back it, which gives me similar benefits to keeping a journal. This is one of the reasons why I'm grateful to my younger self for getting into the 'truth' scene back in the day. How often do you read back old entries in your journal? I don't even look back at old photos that often (especially this year since I've been off the drink). Your comment about past trauma is an interesting one, is it just me or is everybody speaking way more openly about trauma these days? It feels like there has been a radical shift over the past few years, or maybe I am just noticing it more. Either way, it seems to me like so many of the problems people face today go back to unresolved traumas. How many of the folks who enjoy consuming content about 'evil' or conspiracies or whatever are really just seeking external boogiemen instead of facing the man (or woman) in the mirror?
@JohnleBonReturns I now voyeuristically read back on my journals daily, though I am older now. I am struck by my earlier insights, my passion, and being consumed by sexual pursuit. I recently found some polaroid photos of myself playing guitar at parties I forget. I was so happy to see this aspect of myself, rebellious, unforgiving, dangerous. I pushed life to its limits, regardless of consequences.; I now believe there is substance to speaking words out loud as well as writing in longhand. It brings the unseen into this reality. It literally materializes it. This is also the significance in dream journalling which I practice. By the practice of recapitulation, I can confront the traumas of my youth, understand them, and heal them. I often look at myself in the mirror and say, "I can't believe what you have been through"...attempting to get in touch with my inner child. I want to reconnect with who i was before this whole traumatic experience. ...he is still there and I want to merge with him. best regards, db
I had been sending donations to Ensemble Ptashitsa in Russia for many years. After each of their Youtube livestreams, I would send 20 dollars or so. I always received an email of gratitude from Ivan, the leader of the group. When the Russia Ukraine event started, I got my Paypal account locked and my bank account was locked as well. I was able to get my bank accounts back, but to this day cannot link Paypal to my bank account. I could no longer send donations. Ivan released a statement about not getting deceived by stories in newspapers on Ukraine and Russia, used to divide us. It was a brave statement inferring media fakery. There were ALWAYS many Ukrainians in the livestream chats of Ptashitsa. These illusions of borders and countries could not be clearer. A year after my donations stopped due to this "war", I received a Ptashitsa calendar in the mail from Ivan, signed by the group. He said thanks for ...
My first concert experience was Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 1970's. I won tickets by calling into a local radio station and identifying the song Candy Girl. During the show, Frankie walked off stage and was very close to me. I held a pen and the ticket stub down to him. He took it and autographed it for me. I will never forget it. Unfortunately, he is one of these controller/celebrities who must continue to perform regardless of their age. Trump, Biden, Pelosi, and McConnell are all example of this. https://dirtybennywrites.blogspot.com/2023/12/they-must-perform.html Bob Dylan to reunite with Willie Nelson for Outlaw Music Festival tour Dylan 83 years old...Willie Nelson 91 years old https://www.billboard.com/music/country/willie-nelsons-bob-dylan-outlaw-music-festival-tour-dates-2025-1235891171/ Frankie Valli still on stage. 90 years Birthdate: May 3, 1934 He's currently scheduled to tour through April 2025 and h...
Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker posted identical videos—word for word—right before Trump’s speech. pic.twitter.com/1iYUuuhaEN — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) March 4, 2025 This is the definition of “The Blob.” Zero original thought. All reading off of the same script. All holding the DJI microphone trying to look like a Zoomer YouTuber. It’s the party of pure unfettered inauthenticity. A grift machine with replaceable parts. pic.twitter.com/dqU4SsYz40 — Autism Capital 🧩 (@AutismCapital) March 4, 2025
