Diary Entry: 20130422 0408H: Insomnia

Insomnia

...

Detective Thomas Knight has been in London for some time. One wonders if he is protecting the young lady Enid Blyton or bent on romancing her. All I know is, my grandmother loved the elder Lady Blyton's books when she grew up in the countryside.

Since I had a lot of respect for dear old Nan, her books are still old fashioned. Apart from that, it doesn't hurt a young child's mind. "But at my age, the old fashioned bits seem a bit stuffy," I said to the Doctor.

"Don't be mentioning your opinions to Miss Blyton, Clara."

"Afraid it'll give her writer's cramp or something."

"Well, if you must know," he replied, "she's working on her first novel."

"So, why is an American detective, that Knight fellow, protecting her?"

"Protecting?" scoffed the Doctor. "Who told you that?"

"I'm afraid I did," said Enid Blyton. "If you think my first book is stuffy just by meeting me, then I wonder if it'd be a seller too."

"Fixed point in time!" hiss the Doctor, but I don't really believe that. I mean, as long as Miss Blyton thinks Mr Knight is protecting her, then let her think that.

"Knight's not the fixed point in time."

Well, I'm fixing for some time with the great detective Thomas Knight, just so Nan gets to read Enid Blyton's books for children.

I'm absolutely sure that insomnia has kept me up being vexed about him so I put this note in me diary for keeps.

"هذه ليست سوى البداية" كما هو الحال مع تلك الكلمات دخلت عقلي وذهبت عن الانظار بصفتي ط نزفت على هذا الشاطئ


Translation:

On a warm summer night i was walking along the beach of the resort that I was staying for a week. The music from the dance club in the distance focused on my ears against the echo of crashing waves.  

I have always been single. Even in a crowd of people, I preferred silence and feeling dead, alone to  bring them to that spirit.

I wont lie and say I was 100% sober. 

I was feeling very well to pick up and just leave everyone and everything I had known before. 
So it was a night to be free.... i thought "Free, free to think that I want this to be raised higher in the sky". The dark sky became illuminated with the light of the full moon. I also continued to Ilisten to the breaking waves on the beach. I

 began to hear sobbing and sobbing that one would not expect to find in a tropical paradise. So I walked on foot near the sound of crying. As I approached, I  became cautious so as not to be noticed.

As I approached, I came upon what seemed like a young lass, crying as though the whole world was ripping her heart out beating, and threw it away just because she had made her own hell.  

As I walked closer her beautiful brown eyes seemed to ask, "What do you want?" 

Drawing a deep breath I said, "I heard crying. I wanted to see if you were okay,"  She looked at me, surprised and asked "Why don't you even care?" 

Encouraged by the view of the most adorable woman I've ever seen, I helped her remove  Imy jacket of weapons and put them on her shoulders since the air has got colder as we started to walk back toward the hotel.

I could see a smile starting to form on her beautiful face, and did not know it was the smile of a vampire sizing up her meal.  I next asked her name and she replied "Charity",  Introducing myself as Jay., letting care fly in the wind, wondering when this would be a blow to me.  

I asked if she had a place to stay iwhere she would be safe during the night..During the introduction at the beach bar she had left an hour before but just do not know what happened or why it happened. 

I had a few shots of Jagermeister, t I found myself kissing her with passion. This fire that I barely noticed it was a touch cool.  This is what happened to her: she tilted my neck to one side and fast in a single proposal began to find strength in my life blood that ran through my body was numb now as she drank only enough that the first time, and whispered in my ear and I felt numbness in my bare feet on the sand of the beach. 

 "This is only the beginning." As is the case, those words entered my mind and I went out of sight as I bled on this beach .

My Story as Hikikomori / ひきこもり物語 (humor)

Like many people in denial about their mental health, I have been deluded both by social consensus — and especially by my ego — that I was born sane and lived a sane life until school age.

It wasn't until the unhealthy reaction by my father and my father's mother — and especially my mother — that I realized how sensitive I was to the stress caused by embarrassment and shame.

To call Asian culture anything but a culture of shame is to deny all the rare occurrences of maladaptive behaviors which has made us unique on a global skill and in many cases a productive culture, each according to one's respective ancestral nation and home village.

In all honesty, we only pretend that we share common traits with peoples of European ancestry.

We like to believe it, both to fit in in Western society and to promote the ego-delusion of racial superiority, despite the fact that, unlike people of European descent, as we age, we cannot tolerate cowsmilk or even some of the alternates to it such as goats milk due to an age-related lactose intolerance.

This lactose tolerance may also be indirectly related to the Asian intolerance to alcohol at any amount, though in some Asians who practice social drinking, their tolerance to this metabolic poison is comparable to their non-Asian friend.

Even so, the culture of shame tends to lead the deluded individual to believe he is alone in the world and to thus live a life of relative social isolation.

The term used in new thought circles in Japan is "hikikomori". What it means is different from what I'd like it to mean. So the curious could Google for the official meaning while I state what it means to me: "the psychological state of mind where one is too ashamed to leave the home lest the world embarrass her, or worse, she embarrasses herself."

That this is a ego-delusion is obvious, though the term "ego" refers not only to what Freud describes in his psychiatric description of the three parts of the mind but mainly the whole mind.

What is not obvious is that psychiatric intervention is rarely necessary. Instead, what is necessary is to develop coping strategies through education from an early age. The recommended cure is to get exercise in the outdoors.

I have no real rationale for not doing so, other than the maladaptive behavior (through defence mechanisms such as rationalization and justification). This reinforces the desire to be what is called a "homebody", where the body stays at home while the mind wanders the whole world within itself.

Perhaps my willingness to become confirmed as a Christian may also be a strategy with risks of ego-delusion. Yet here, social rejection has been noticed because of my social status.

However, only the psychiatric professional would be consulting the DSM-IV without following up with sometimes expensive and potentially dangerous tests, one of which consists of extracting cerebral spinal fluid and closely examining it for endogenous retrovirus 'ERV sequences in "junk" DNA. Human ERV has been speculated by a handful of scientists to be a causal agent in bipolar disorder, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia.



日本語訳:

子供たちの精神的健康についての否定に多くの人々と同様に、私は社会的なコンセンサスの両方を惑わされている - 私のエゴ特にで - 私は正気を生まれ、高校時代まではまともな生活を送っていた。

それは私の父と父の母で不健全な反応を待たなければなりませんでした - 特に私の母 - 私は恥ずかしさと恥に起因するストレスにされたかを区別を実現します。

アジアの文化の何かを呼び出すには恥の文化は世界的なスキルに、多くの場合、生産文化私たちはユニークなものが不適応行動、自分のそれぞれの先祖の国と故郷の村によると、それぞれのすべてのまれな出現を拒否することです。

正直なところ、我々は我々はヨーロッパ系の人々と共通の特徴をしなければならないことをふりをする。

我々は両方と西洋社会に合うように人種的優越の自我妄想を促進するために、ヨーロッパ系の人々とは異なり、加齢とともに、私たちはいくつかのcowsmilkあるいはを容認することができないという事実にもかかわらず、それを信じて好きに交互にそれは、このようなヤギが加齢に伴う乳糖不耐症のために牛乳として。

この乳糖耐性も練習の社会的飲酒が、この代謝毒への耐性が自分以外のアジアの友人に匹敵するいくつかのアジア人もの、間接的に任意の量でアルコール、アジア不耐症に関連する可能性があります。

たとえそうだとしても、恥の文化は、彼が世界で一人であるため、相対的な社会的孤立の生活を信じて裏切られた個人をリードする傾向がある。

日本では新しい思考界で使用される用語は、"ひきこもり"です。それは何を意味私はそれが意味するものとしたいのですが違っている。好奇心は、私はそれは私に何を意味するか状態の間を意味する公式のGoogleでしただから:"ものも、彼女を困らせるか、悪いことに、彼女は困る世界しないように家を出ようとして恥じている心の心理状態"

つまり、この用語は"自我"はフロイトが主に思い入れはなく、心の3つの部分の彼の精神の説明で説明ものだけではなく、意味が自我妄想は明らかです。

どのような明白されていないことを精神医学的介入はほとんど必要です。代わりに、何が必要です幼い頃から教育を通じた対処戦略を開発することである。推奨される治療法は、屋外での運動を取得することです。

私はそうしないと本当の理由は、(合理化、正当化などの防衛メカニズムを介して)不適応行動以外ている。これは心が自分自身の中に全世界を放浪しながら体は自宅でご利用いただけます"オタク族"と呼ばれるものになりたいを強化しています。

クリスチャンはまた、自我妄想のリスクとの戦略かもしれないのでおそらく私の意思が確認さになる。しかし、ここでは、社会的排除は、私の社会的地位のために注目されている。

*** ただし、精神科専門そのうちの1つは、脳脊髄液を抽出密接に"ジャンク"DNAに内在性レトロウイルス'概要シーケンスのためにそれを調べることで構成されても、潜在的に危険な高価なテストとフォローアップなしDSM - IVのコンサルティングになります。人間の概要は、双極性障害、多発性硬化症や統合失調症の原因物質であると科学者の一握りの推測されている。

Lands Edge: A Story Summary

The Boulder

The Boulder is a massive glacial boulder that marks the lair of the dragon of Lands Edge in the outskirts of the Highlands.

Kiryn is the heroine of Lands Edge. She is the daughter of Gylan, the late Highland king who was killed by the Highland dragon in retribution for not maintaining the ancient rituals of worship that summon up the dragon that guard the energies that channel through it to keep the lands fertile and free of death and pestilence.

Dragons here are actually shapeshifters, whose original form was that of a mortal human who were once mages but have been transformed by the primordial energies of the earth into their current form. They can maintain their human form only after doing battle with a dragonslayer, the last one dying in Lands Edge.

After witnessing her father's death, and fearing for her life because she never was taught the art of dragon fighting, Kiryn travels to the last place on her world where she may find the last of the dragonslayers, a friend of her father's.

She passes the Boulder, unaware of the dragon's presence.

Lands Edge Inn is a tavern in the lowland many leagues from the Highland plateau that Kiryn grow up in.

Kiryn finds the dragonslayer, only to be told he no longer trains and is a landowner like her father. She ignores the slight, since the dragonslayer is more like the benevolent aristocratic landlord than a true king who rules over a vast domain.

She tries to shame the dragonslayer into training her, so that she may confront the dragon of Land Edge and learn how to appease the dragon now occupying her former castle on the Highland.

The dragonslayer teaches her fighting techniques, yet never did learn the reason why a dragonslayer fight dragons. This is never revealed in the story.


Two Stones

After training hard, the two humans unleash psychic energy induced by ritual combat which awakens the dragon below.

Alarmed and already sensing the presence of its brother dragon on the Highlands, it knows it must act swiftly to maintain the balance over death and pestilence.

It reaches the surface of its home world at the Two Stones, the place of its battle with the dragonslayer's father, who died due to his slow reaction. The smaller of the Two Stones is a man-sized chip that fell from the Boulder when the dragon's deadly blow missed the dead man.

Also, previously dragon's tears are mentioned and they are the most valuable gems, the dragon's treasure.

A battle ensues, which ends when Kiryn, awakened to the dragon's mind, stops fighting and listens to reason.

Finally, the dragon uses the energy of battle to shapeshift to human form and instructs Kiryn on what must be done to regain her home in the Highlands. This is not clear in the story.

What is clear is that dragons need alcohol to be tamed.

Kiryn returns home and bribes the dragon there to be her husband Draco. Making her his betrothed, deflowering her causes Draco to be bound to her, unable to shapeshift unless she releases him from her spell.

The dragon cult is promoted by Draco in far off lands.

This marks a departure from mages who guard one kingdom or domain. He extracts fealty by warning the fiefdom that if they do not give tribute, a dragon will come out of the land to punish them. Sometimes a fiefdom will disobey him yet he cannot punish them in human form.

So he asks her to release him from the spell.

She replies that their son will do that for them.

Soon she gives birth to a dragon that her magick cannot bind to human form. She complains to her husband, who tells her that he needs to lie in wait for a virgin queen to bribe him with alcohol after a battle.

They send the son to kill the rebel lord of one fiefdom, and tell the people to send a young woman to be raised as warrior who knows the way of the sword and the queen's magick.

The fiefdom picks an orphaned girl.

The tradition of dragon sons conquering fiefdoms in exchange for an orphaned girl to be raised as warrior-mage is established. This establishes a lineage of fiefdoms, since the next fiefdom is conquered by Draco's grandson. Yet Kiryn's magick can give both her and Draco long lives.

Once the dragon lineage is established and no petty lords exist to oppress their own fiefdoms, both she and Draco retire to Lands End.

From time to time Draco would play with the Boulder dragon, staging mock battles for his queen's amusement.

In time Kiryn dies and is buried at her ancestral estate in the Highlands. Draco, freed of the spell cast by his mate, reverts to dragon form.

Draco and the dragon at Land's Edge join forces to prevent the likes of men from ruining the world through corruption.

They use magick to create worms that fly off to find places on the earth in need of protection. Nothing is mentioned of the Highland lineage.
