Would you like to play a game?

This game only has one rule. It’s based on the premise that you had two parents, and you agree that–so far as we know–every human being who has ever lived had two parents.  Agreed?  If you think I’m trying to trick you, take a minute to think about it, and make sure that you agree before we continue.

“Unconditional” Self Acceptance ???

Posted by Rex Alexander on Sun 12 Oct 25 in Acceptance, Basics, Rating, ULA, UOA, USA with Comments closed |

Image result for self acceptance

What does “Unconditional”  in Unconditional Self Acceptance Mean  ???

A reader says that his English teacher advised that he avoid “modifiers” as they weaken the strength of the word they are modifying.  So, rather than “Unconditional Self Acceptance (USA)” he just leaves it at “self acceptance.”  Nothing wrong with that, but it does raise some interesting questions.

Is Neo the “One”?

Posted by Rex Alexander on Fri 10 Oct 25 in Rational living, Superstition, z-monthly with Comments closed |

In the thrilling, climactic scene of The Matrix, Neo is being chased by Agent Smith  and his men intent on killing him. However, as the agents fire their guns, Neo has a stunning revelation: the solid world he perceives is actually nothing more than a computer code made up of ones and zeros running in the background. This realization allows him to manipulate the code and avoid being hit by the bullets. He watches in amazement as the bullets fall harmlessly to the ground. The scene is a powerful moment that highlights the potential of science and technology to transform our understanding of reality. However, it is important to recognize that this moment is purely fictional and should not be confused with reality. It may seem unnecessary to point out this obvious fact. However, from this simple truth, some people bizarrely jump to the conclusion that with sufficient understanding and appreciation of the digital nature of reality, we too can manipulate our reality and achieve seemingly “magical” results just as Neo did.

Self-help forms.

https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/giving/Images/stickman-forms_tcm31-58951.jpg Willie T. has been making some interesting comments about whether REBT is “talk therapy” or something else. He shares some additional information which hits on a sore spot of mine–mechanically filling out forms–and is worth exploring in greater depth.  Here’s Willie.  We’ve taken the liberty of running the SpellCheck for him.  Hehehe . . .
