Eudaimonic Pronunciation

Eudaimonic Pronunciation Gordian Knot Blogs Being deaf in one ear I often times need to learn to pronounce words correctly. As a child having lost my hearing from someone lifting me up by my ear, I (at a very young age) studied the dictionary. Mostly to learn to pronounce words, I have yet to find a site that will display the Phonetic pronunciation symbol characters in its description ie., "Long e, schwa sounds etc. Anyone know a site that displays the pronunciation breakdown? At about five (5) years of age I requested my sister described to me correctly what sound the symbols above certain letters made the word sound like because I was determined to stop receiving ridicule for speaking wrong; thus being called retarded, and stupid etc., I greatly appreciate anyone who can direct me to such a sound indicator as being deaf just hearing the sounds does not prove beneficial.

Hi James! Here is your Daily Tarot Card for Sunday, July 28

V“Ladies and Gentlemen, please be seated, we all know that he was trapped for years by his delusions. We are not trying to discover something of little significance here; he has a truth deep within himself we all know may well shape the history of mankind. Let us all just stay focused and put aside our differences so we can delve into Fredrick’s thoughts” Tom, hired by the board to keep the focus of the panel of scientists, researchers and inventors, people of every discipline who were hired for this task of discovering the hidden secrets that were found hidden deep within every type of schizophrenic, Mr. Thomas Hyptus tried to remember just where they left off yesterday and keep everyone focused.
This, the Center for Inner Consciousness was developed under the guise that indeed people of delusion upon the onslaught of there “illness” carried within their mind truths that they the average person could never discover. Remembering yesterday’s focus and the discoveries already found he went on to tell the audience that there still was hope to be found within the psyche this young man possessed. Frederick J. Pizone, the object of the crowd’s examination was still looking around with that blank look on his face. Tom Hyptus, the negotiator, looked over at Frederick and remembered the thought they heard within the babblings of this lunatic.
“I am building a city, a city within everyone’s minds.  You just don’t seem to understand, we are here to stay, within yourself you find this place we call home” Frederick went on, “your fair sister, the state, wants to destroy my work – get off my back.” Beyond everyone’s comprehension Fredrick made statements, statements broad, evasive yet: to each individual mind from the Government speculators to the engineers, every statement conjured up unique images in the mind. Who would have guessed that this seemingly retarded man was relaying a message so diverse, directed, and tactfully spoken that each and every image collectively was placing Fredrick’s image uniquely in all the researchers minds; thus he was creating that city he spoke of. Still he knew he had a long road ahead before he could direct this collective thought into action. Tom, looking back, remembered the puzzled look on everyone’s’ face yesterday, yet he knew all the words this man spoke held a strong and powerful message everyone here was missing, with the exception of the psychics. But even they were at odds with each other as to just what was seen there and what it all meant.
Fredrick looked around the room with a new expression on his face, He looked around, and each face his sight fell on he sensed the turmoil they carried. He smiled with this piecing look in his eyes as his sight fell on Brenda, his psychologist. He wanted her to know, “I am not deceived by all your friends’ inquiries, and I know what you are all about.” Brenda, sensing this nervously looked away with the sense that he had just taken something out of her she had hoped he would never see. She thought, “I just don’t have the answers for you Fredrick.” He simply smiled at her and looked on.
Tom Hyptus thought back in time to the strides these researchers had made with other patients. He thought of the story about how a girl with manic depression named Susan helped found societies with answers to a person’s well-being, and told himself that, “Psychologists still referred to her contribution as their greatest step forward. Why are we having such trouble finding this man’s answer?”  Tom Hyptus spoke to the audience and proceeded with, “Now we all know Frederick has something of great significance, why are we not seeing it?” The crowd hushed as he went on to tell them that if they hoped to find out just what Frederick was saying that they needed to stay clear and open minded, just as Fredrick’s friend relayed to them the day before. Fredrick let out a blurb,” You’ll never catch me! You just want me dead!”
It became increasingly difficult for the people of the institute to keep him focused on the real objective they all desired to discover. They thought maybe he needed an increase in his medication. Only thing was that if they increased his meds they might be stifling his openness. They decided against it then. “Shut up! Your thoughts are killing me. You still don’t understand” The audience thought back to the day they had all agreed on just how much Frederick needed them to slow down, clear their minds, and let him speak.
 Tom thought of all the furthering of this society and all the lessons taught by others of similar “illnesses”. He thought of the manic depression patient who while in his more energized state afforded them an answer for nuclear cold fusion.  He thought of the great leaps forward in the world when they first discovered that mental patients held truths only a genius would have. He thought of how if quieted the patients came up with ideas only those simple minded people could give society.
Frederick was about to speak again when to his surprise his old friend Jeremy interjected, “Fred, we know what you are saying, yet, we’re not sure we can do all you ask. Are you proposing we begin digging beneath the city and we’ll find gold vain the likes of which have never been seen yet.  Or are you speaking metaphorically that what is beneath in our psyches is a gold mine?”  Fredrick was thrown into frenzy over such a prospect. “Why, even my best friend cannot understand my words, he’s still out there waiting for me.” He thought of the day he and his friend could easily speak of dreams they both had.
He dreamed of that day again when he and Jeremy would spend the afternoon in the psych ward reminiscing about what they would do with their knowledge.   They indeed had dreams the real world would never understand let alone follow. Jeremy was a quiet boy then and only spoke to Fredrick on days his medications weren’t working, (because he didn’t take them). Why today of all days did Jeremy want him to disclose his secrets. Was someone influencing him?
Then up spoke a gentleman from the audience, dressed in a black suit, “Even you, Fredrick know Jeremy does have yours and our best interests in mind. He surely would not lead you astray. Listen to him and let us know if he in so off base.” Jeremy piped up for he could see what turmoil he was causing in Fred’s mind. “Oh, they put him back on his meds again”, thought Fredrick.
He could not speak to me this way thought Fred as he looked through the audience to make eye contact with Jeremy’s therapist. That day Fredrick spoke to the audience as though he were their psychologist; and how he knew their thoughts and that they must, if they wanted his answer, they must keep their thoughts silent for him to share his.
He knew he could read Dr. Velp like a book and he would know then; didn’t they have Jeremy on a new medication, one that would give him extra strength. Those damn medications; they melded us to their liking. Why with the right combinations of medication we are turned on and off like robots with switches, he thought.  “Why thank you sirs, I’m having my day of glory when you all begin to see, we have so much to offer.” Fredrick proclaimed in proud sarcasm.
Jeremy’s doctor avoided Fred’s’ glair for he knew Fred saw in his that indeed Jeremy was on a new medication. Doctor Velp thought, “Why do these damn patients nowadays have such powers of perception.  What ever happened to the days when say a patient would come to us could we just as well read them with the same power?” Doctor Velp just sat back feeling totally helpless as both Jeremy and Fred took over the audience with their suggestions.
 The roles reversed between the therapists and their patient. The norm these days as they, the patients, seemed to be taking over so much. Doctor Velp grumbled under his breath, “What will they take over next? When will we the doctors get back our powers to heal? They don’t seem so much to be in need of healing as to be heard, and wow are they being heard these days.”
They speak with such power thought Tom Hyptus. With only two mental patients in this room of a hundred professionals they the patients were taking over the thoughts of everyone. Why the other day when the hypnotist tried to use his power over the patients they seemed to turn everything around on the audience. Even on several of the audience were influences that the hypnotist tried giving the patients. The audience was more influenced by the post hypnotic suggestions than were the patients. That’s why security whisked them back off to the hospital for a short time and for closer observation. Were they getting out of hand with whatever powers they seemed to possess; many thought?

The Five of Wands card suggests that my power today lies in practice. I play fair and can hold my own in against my peers in my chosen arena. I develop confidence, refine my intentions, and make progress by being prepared to put my desires, beliefs, ideas, or skills to the test or put my "money where my mouth is." I am empowered by healthy competition and I transform through preparedness.

While Waking: What it is like with Schizophrenia

Starting the day for a Schizophrenic

'via Blog this' Good morning everyone,here with news from Lion Enterprise. I started my day as usual in a cloud of fog. My thoughts were quite scrambled. After taking my medication I started thinking more rationally. Schizophrenia is sometimes very debilitating, even while using medication. Today as usual I woke distressed. After medication time it took considerable effort discerning my future plans and course of action for the day. I wake very early so usually know one sees me in this troubled confused state as everyone is still sleeping. So how do I get my thoughts back on track. Usually I carry on a conversation with these conflicting thoughts. Eventually they clear up and I see the reality that I found the day before. Without this inner dialogue, my thoughts remain jumbled and should someone cross my path I  (if we exchange words); I might seem like I am in another world; which I am. Then they if they are trying to empathise would hear me struggling within my mind, and in my actions and words. In all relations and interactions I find these are not a good time to be around people(though I have had friends who naturally knew how to take me.) Now today was a little out of the ordinary as my conflicts within were winning over and stopping me from seeing things in realistic perspective. Why am I sharing this? I am thinking of the day when some other person might be equally distressed and need to discover a way out into the light. If you have followed this blog you see I talk of all aspects and share divergent topics. Sometimes I share things as they relate to my business, other times I share something or comment on something I located on the internet or lifes experiences. Where am I going with this? Into the reality I am trying to instill in my life, and I am sharing it because there will come a day when someone else in this same boat might be searching for an answer to their own troubles. Today , or soon I want  to find a way to incorporate a site map into this blog where visitors can Look-up a subject, key it in; and search will take then to the topic. I forgot, there is a search option, not sure though. I would that persons visiting here find what they are looking for. I need this blog more organized. And I need consistently better and better content. If a company were looking into our Marketing or web development, they could for example type "SEO" or "Social Ads" and they will be taken to an article I wrote on the subject. This will take time to build a database of good accurate content. I will be constantly posting articles on subjects that can show up on search results on the web. I am a one man company right now, but I have great exposure that shows up in search results. I just have to strive always to stay on task. This discipline is greatly needed to maintain my sanity. Plus researchers when searching will find accurate Information. With this company being just one person, I am strapped with things to do to get ranked well; because I am flighty in my mind and there are three areas I have determined to represent, I must stay focused. and make sure the information I post in correctly categorized. This is great therapy for me. And who knows maybe someday other sufferers will frequent these pages often to effect a change in their own regime. I foresee the day people will come here and to Google and achieve their dreams (just as I am); If my blog assists , Great!  I will likely categorize this post under Mental Stabilizers or the likes. And have it filed as such in the Site map. Keep up your faith in me please I know I can pull this off. With everyone's help we will start to see more comments, shares, likes, and +'s. Thank you all who frequent here. Soon I will fill my followers in on some great tactics to pull this together for themselves. Matter of fact; should anyone be on a job search I might suggest picking an area of expertise, research it, and this could qualify you for a position here, especially if you come here often, post you feedback, or ask questions; you would work yourself into a job with us. One area of study you could assuredly get a position here in is Google AdWords campaign management, or Google Analytics. Or, if you are a good writer you could help with rich accurate articles. I would also suggest you begin now, on a voluntary basis; just as I am doing now for Google. Good luck all. Thanks for reading; happy ventures await you here at Lion  Enterprise!

'via Blog this'As a child I was a very quiet boy, and I Languidly absorbed everything I could about the world, my family, behaviors, news flashes, and had a very intimate connection with God. As I developed I excelled well in school, loved to draw, and watch Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (ironic, I should be a Pisces). In my teen years I would hop the train in Junction city and ride it to Wisconsin Rapids. Life was great, I thought. Then I did what most kids back then did, I drank, partied, smoked, and was a social Butterfly. I finished my Junior year at Lincoln High School with enough credits to graduate; but the school would not let me graduate. So, in my senior year I just F'd Off my schooling. I did end up graduating in 1975. I believe I ranked 576 out of a class of about 580. Est. 

I have sixteen brothers and sisters. I was the ninth. I recall my older brothers always pulling practical jokes on me. On one such occasion, they built a Lion's pit in the barn's hayloft, tied twine across the opening, scattered loose hay across the web of twine so as to not disclose it's presence. Then they would run around the hay loft telling me, "Hurry Jimmy, you got to catch us, faster Jimmy, faster." After they got me following right on their heals; They approached the Lion's Pit, and jumped across. As I was probably only five or six, I could not jump as far as they; I just kept right on running. Guess what? I ran right over the pit; but, only got on step, and fell to the bottom; pulling all the bails of hay that were tied together on top of myself at the bottom of the pit. My brothers just rolled in laughter as I struggled to get out from under the entangled net and pile of bails. as I scaled the walls of this lion's pit, my brothers all continued laughing hysterically until tears flowed. Maybe that is why after graduation, Sister Josephe Marie Flynn would receive a scripture, about me *'Then the lioness (Sister Josephe) had a son (that she advised in the way) would grow-up to to be a Mighty Lion with a Fierce Roar!'

Hi James! Here is your Daily Love Tarot Card for Friday, July 26


The Empress card reversed suggests that manipulation, lust, emotional outbursts or interference may not serve your romantic or domestic interests. Rather than inspiring respect, devotion or love, a tantrum could instead demonstrate emotional immaturity, ignorance or self-indulgence. Try not to lose your patience or overcontrol the situation, or else you may seem ungrateful or unprepared. Don't let Mother (literally or metaphorically) get in the middle.

A Town Without Poverty? Canada's Guaranteed Income Experiment

Vivian Belik
The Dominion
Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:49 CDT
"Beginning in 1974, Pierre Trudeau's Liberals and Manitoba's first elected New Democratic Party government gave money to every person and family in Dauphin who fell below the poverty line. Under the program - called "Mincome" - about 1,000 families received monthly cheques."
I will paraphrase as an introduction a reference*to introduce an idea I have been kicking around. Note: I am wearing my Gordian Knot Foundation hat to explain my concept I wish to implement for visitors, members, commenters; what I intend this organization to stand for. If you have seen any of my +Google Pages for Business and were following me you might have noticed, I consider myself a visionary, and medium towards economic change. This, all to bring about a chance for people struggling to piece a life together a great opportunity to attain their hopes and dreams. I  and my recent life are the roadmap shown in this Blog's history. This path I am directed towards has a purpose, "To cut the Gordian Knot out; for persons facing barriers ie., a mental illness, the loss of a job, returning veterans" This is the tip of the iceberg so-to-speak. I intend to give opportunity to anyone willing to work with us in a position within this company. I have been Volunteering at Google now sometime over a year building a company; Osowski Publications. This company has three branches, publisher, not for profit, and the development division-Lion Enterprise. As funds are available we will hire developer liaison persons to put together this Network where member, and workers can work and interact through various applications.
Now to explain why I sited the article from Scott.com; "My idea is akin to the experiment Canada tried. Now I am considered employed by Google, on a volunteer basis. Why? To see what I can accomplish, I guess. And maybe they see and have read my Books about Schizophrenia in my life and how I have and am overcoming it's disabling effects. This country, rumor has is it; is in economic danger. The dollar is loosing it's value in the world market. Something different needs to happen. I propose for anyone who figures out how to untie this gordian knot in their own live; shall receive reward. Interest on home loans is very low right now. The economy appears stable to apathetic eyes. But to those informed people there is a small window of time before our money will no longer dominate the world market. If you follow what I am alluding to; something new and revolutionary needs to occur in this and other countries. We in a sense need a "Robin Hood"!
Envision now if you will a world where there is no discourse, every one gets their fair share(for persons willing to work) to ensure they have the same opportunity for their own well being and satisfaction.  I have been given another chance in this world to redeem myself, my future, and attain as others before me have done. How can one man (like myself) create something that will achieve these desired ends. Stay tooned and I will share more about this clever machination of machiavellian proportion.

Those who listen, hear; those who hear follow!
