The subconscious mind has the knowledge and wherewithal to fuck you up in ways that are just as bad as or worse than most third-party spiritual/demonic activity (short of full stop head-rotating and pea-soup vomiting) is ever likely to get. And, like spirits or demons (which may or may not exist), subconscious minds are known to be fickle and vindictive if crossed. Treating them as you would a powerful but mercurial supernatural entity seems like a reasonable precaution...ArgentLAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-30127656501887257522014-04-21T08:09:50.470-05:002014-04-21T08:09:50.470-05:00Sort of the opposite of Davy Crockett's allege...Sort of the opposite of Davy Crockett's alleged "You can all go to Hell.

Granted, Deb's suggestion to just stay away from it is probably the best advice, but barring that, I like what you have to say here.<br><br>My attitude is that it really is very likely to be an easily identifiable hallucination of sorts brought on by sleep paralysis. It doesn't matter though - setting up a ritual still has value.

(Or words to that effect. It's been a while.) I think it might have been intended as a dig, but since I generally like Umberto Eco (if it was Umberto Eco), I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt in that regard.<br><br>Speaking as one who does not know if they believe in spirits and demons, but who also does not know if they DON'T believe in spirits and demons (a dichotomy I suspect you will grasp), I would suggest taking certain sensible precautions in dealing with Tarab:<br><br>- Establish specific Standard Procedures for engaging with him. Tell him firmly and politely that you are only willing to engage with him when you follow these procedures. He may or may not go along with that, but it's helpful to make your intentions clear. ("But you never *said* it wasn't okay to show up during a fit of daytime narcolepsy while you're at work!")<br><br>- Each time you engage with him, offer him something you think he might appreciate, the same way one might leave a plate of cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve. (Exactly like that, in fact.) It doesn't have to be big -- homeowners' associations tend to frown on sacrificing goats and so forth. Perhaps something like a glass of wine, a candy bar, or a cigar. Do not consume this thing yourself and don't let the children nab it. <br><br>- As one of the aforementioned Standard Procedures, when you set out the thing for him, say that you are offering this in exchange for whatever insight or information he cares to share, quid pro quo.<br><br>This may or may not be ridiculous, but at worst, I can't see it doing you any harm. And if I did believe in spirits and demons (which I may or may not), I would say that I would prefer to stay in their good graces, such as may be, and would definitely prefer that any help, insights, or advice provided by said spirits and demons does not arrive postage due.ArgentLAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-13710009720799900602014-04-18T23:03:11.511-05:002014-04-18T23:03:11.511-05:00They tell me I am young.

I didn't believe it at first, so I tried it last night. Asleep --- woke up with earbuds still in my ears. They found out that people fall asleep to certain familiar sounds from their childhood, like soft noises, whispers and other things that are so strange when you think about it, yet it worked for me. NOTHING really works for me! Try it… It's weird at first, because these people seem cray cray --- but just give it a shot. Wishing you a restful sleep tonight! Alcohol will put you fast asleep, but it'll wake you up 3 hrs later. I know. I've tried one too many times. :(Debhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003982716885685057.post-43022926000451034142014-04-10T22:22:17.652-05:002014-04-10T22:22:17.652-05:00Those links started me on a 45 minute journey thro...Those links started me on a 45 minute journey through old Roy Orbison songs.
