PSALM: Panic Suggestive Alternative Logic Messaging
Have you ever believed a situation was real, out of some fear, or believed it was real because of someone's manipulative words: even though others told you that it was not real or could not have happened.
Have you ever been in a large, crowded place, feeling nervous about being there, with so many people gathered around: desiring to be out of there as soon as possible, because you were feeling closed in, or that something bad could happen?
Or, have you been so afraid in any given situation that, while this or that was happening around you, you believed at that moment that it was a completely different situation going on? You believed that it was happening and had happened one way, when in reality it never happened at all! But it was real to you.
Have you ever seen someone panic so bad that they scared, or almost scared themselves to death? Example: a person has a phobia to water, because they cannot swim, and fear drowning. They do not like their head under water in the bathtub or in a hot tub. One day, they go on a hike with other friends.
They cross a creek that is knee deep; and each must use perfectly raised stones to cross over. That individual is the third to the last person in line: he slips and, is in the water. He flails and splashes everywhere, while yelling, help me, help me, I can't swim!! The others look at him in wonder and amazement! They knew that he could not swim: but they did not know that he was that fearful of water, and would panic! One of them yelled over his yelling: "stand up! Just stand up. It is only knee deep!" He gets up and tries to calm himself down as he bends over and picks up his walking stick. He straightens himself up as he looks around. Then says: "My foot got caught on something when I slipped. I thought that I was going to drown. Another asks if he is alright? He says yes, and they move on.
These things happen to many of us at least once in life. It is called "panic suggestive alternative logic messaging."
Now, for the record, in literal seriousness! This is a word that I came up with many years ago, from trying to figure out why I panicked one time in the military? I called it "PSALM!" This was because at that time in my panic, I was suggesting to my mind all types of alternatives which could have happened. It seemed logical to me, with the messages I was feeding myself, and the things going on around me!
Our minds can play tricks on our reality. Our minds are computers that react and respond in kind to that, which it is fed, or to that which is programmed into it. It believes what we tell or say to ourselves - internally or verbally. We can make a whole world within the reality of which we live. Yet it is not true at all. We can tell ourselves that we are stupid idiots. Our minds will believe it as truth, because it does not comprehend joking about ourselves or the actual thing. It just knows that it is being feed a program that becomes its reality.
We can panic so much at times that, people who are manipulative and experts in manipulation, will use those fears to cause panic within you, so that they can cause you to see a different reality through the logic of their message which they are delivering unto you. This is done to destroy you or your loved ones, because of that manipulator's hatred of you or someone close to you.
So, I Came up with this word. "Panic Suggestive Alternative Localized Messages {Psalm}." The other day I was thinking about Psalm. So, I looked it up on Google to see if there was anything called psalm? Nothing popped up. I then gave the definition to Google that I made up for the word and condition many years ago.
At first, it found no results for that terminology. It said: "do you mean...? So, I spoke into the mic on Google and said: ...Panic Suggestive Alternative Logic Messages?? It came Back with: Yes, "panic-suggestive alternative logic messaging" is a real, albeit often manipulative form of communication. It functions by using fear-based appeals combined with a distorted, non-sequitur, or alternative framework of logic to trigger a "fight-or-flight" response, forcing a person to act, panic, or accept a new, often incorrect, premise. [PubMed Central]
We are what we tell ourselves. We become what we allow others to dictate unto us in a negative way. We must always try to calm our minds in any given situation, or verbal assault. If we allow ourselves to panic at these times and seek to retaliate out of anger or fear or shame, we have already entered the reality that the other person or persons wanted to paint for us.
Now, your mind has not only entered panic mode, it believes that what is being said of you, is true! So, it enters the reality of defense which causes your mind and thoughts to become clouded. You start to become irrational in your animated explanations, as you try to justify.
Or you begin to panic while out and about the town at night, believing that someone is after you or has been following you. You begin to build a suggestive alternative scenario in your mind, and make bad suggestions unto yourself, leading to bad choices and decisions.
In The Mist of Chaos:
The problems and the people of this world are going to become worse and worse [Vorser & Vorser]. There will be panic everywhere. Minds losing grip on reality. So much so that people will desire to kill themselves; but death will flee from them. In the Mist of Chaos, we need to learn to calm our minds at that immediate moment. Seeing things in the reality of it yet, being able to respond rationally within the situations. Controlling the chaos around you.
Even though there is chaos going on around you, you are calm in the mist of it.
We can learn this through daily meditations.
Meditations:
Daily Meditations is a fancy way to sound more deeper than it is. A way for life coaches or professionals to cause you to think that these things are hard to obtain. So, follow us and buy our drugs and books.
In reality, meditations are really quite simple. I mean, stop, think, look, and realize the foregoing conclusions. When you walk down a sidewalk, up an aisle in an airport thinking to yourself on some situation, in those moments you are meditating.
When you sit on a bench by the lake and look out to whatever is out there, trying to recall events, or conversations, or the things you did or were done unto you; you are meditating.
After vacuuming, doing dishes by hand (old timers like me still love hand washing), cooking, cleaning, handling the children, you finally get a chance to sit down in a quiet place to relax, breath, and think. In that moment, you are meditating!
Sitting in your car or truck, rubbing your hands on the steering wheel, listening to low music on the radio, or just throwing your head back on the headrest, getting lost in deep thought. You are meditating.
You see, meditations are not some unknown sciences. It has been going on since the dawn of time. You can even use those times to calm your nerves and lower breathing and blood pressure.
Where coaches and doctors hook you is by, getting you to focus your mind on you more, to focus on that breathing, that calming spirit, that one particular thought or moment.
And so, even though you have been doing this very thing all your life, you did not master, the calming controlled: PSALM. So instead of you learning to focus on a specific point or part of your life, and seeking to correct it or over coming it, you sit on some couch and pay exorbitant amounts of cash!
We do not need to sit in some lotus position or lay on some fancy couch, being charged thousands just to hear yourself, talk. All we need to do is train our minds to focus on clarity of self and thought.
Instead of negative, irrational, doom & gloom fearful thoughts and outcomes; learn to reverse your negatives into positive thoughts.
First, during those quite walks, or time alone at home, just concentrate on you. No problems, no worries in that immediate moment: flush it all away. Just you and the space that your body is in.
Feel the air around you, letting your face and skin feel the temperature and/moisture in the air which you breath. Just relaxing your body. There will be other thoughts popping up in your mind. Do not try to force it away, nor force yourself to stop thinking on those thoughts. Just gently let them slip out of your mind as you continue to concentrate on your breathing and the space around you. In, out; in, out.
Do this for two to three times for 10 minutes each time. I will be honest. I use these and other techniques all the time. It has helped me to become a successful person in life, in spite of the bad and negative things that have befallen me in the past (The operative word of the day: PAST).
But even though I use these and other methods for calm relaxing mind and body, for clearer thoughts and actions; explaining these first steps of this simple but effective meditation routine to you, is putting me in an even calmer state, while writing this at this moment.
I feel the effects a little more quickly because my body and mind are in tune with this process. It is conditioned to respond. But I promise you, beginners or pros, if you start out this way, you will feel better in the end, than when you first started.
If you desire, do this relaxing and breathing exercise for four or five different settings. That exercise is designed to help you to start learning how to calm your mind and breathing. To center on more focused and clearer thoughts and your immediate surroundings.
Many teachers will tell you: if thoughts pop up in your mind during this time, ignore it or just push it away.
What! Really. We are naturally going to have thoughts. We are a computer constantly on, go! When we sleep, our computer is still working, cleaning our brains, working out things in dreams or nightmares, etc.
This is why I suggest to you, just let it be and allow the thoughts to slowly drift away, as you continue to concentrate on your breath, and the calm space that your body and you are in.
As you become more proficient at this, you will notice more controlled clarity and concentration.
Day 6 or 7; move into the awareness of a specific thought. Explanation: on day 6, 7, or 8, after your relaxation, breathing & concentration exercise, it is time to move into awareness thoughts.
AWARENESS:
You now want to become aware of specific thoughts. The first thought that clearly comes to your mind as you meditate in whatever manner your meditations take place, and wherever.
Is it your heart beating, and the pulsing blood that you are thinking on? How does it make you feel? Do you think that it is too high, beating too fast? Are you fearful of something in the past or present that makes you think that you are wrong or would possible be in trouble for?
Your first thoughts could be that of not finishing the grocery shopping or cleaning everything as you wanted. How do you internally feel about this?
Be truly honest with your-self! There is no one here but you. In order for you to become clearer in your thoughts and to overcome panic suggestive alternative localized messages (logic messages as stated by google), you first have to be really honest with yourself.
How does this thought make feel? How did I respond, or act out to this situation when first it arose? Was I very angry, or fearful? Did I want to lash out? Did it make me want to run and hide? Was I too submissive, or too cowardice to stand up or to face it?? What were the results of your irrational panic.
This is the time that we look within and without: "stop, think, look."
When and if that thought of not finishing the housework, or not getting all the grocery shopping done pops up; how did it make you feel as you look within?
Were you mad at yourself? Did you beat yourself up over it? Were you afraid that someone might be displeased at one or more of these events of incompletion? These are the emotions and feelings that you have to face. Which have been a part of your everyday subconscious motion, and past living: possibly forming your everyday existence, performances, and decision making. You would panic internally and form ill-logical conclusions, that were counterproductive to the rational messaging you would have liked for it to have been.
Learn to really recognize your inner most feelings yourself. Examine why you panic even sightly? What specifically makes you panic? What deep emotions arise within you when you start to panic and form unrealistic thoughts and ideas?
Literally try this exercise for a week or two. These are tools that you will use over and over again through life. It is not something you do once and say, oh I am cured! I understand all things, type of enlightenment. The reason I ask you to do certain things for a certain time length is not because this is all you will need to master anything: but it is an adjustment period to give your brain time to acclimate to this new foreign layout and internal processing. It has to become a habit through effort. Then it becomes a habit of natural flow. A glove on hand, or second hand if you will. Once you get that down, it will lead you to:
Foregoing Conclusions:
Once you get that down you will start to realize the foregoing conclusions. I should just leave this blank and not explain. because when you realize, you will know. When you know, you know.
Foregoing Conclusions are the realization that panic is just panic: unnatural thoughts and actions due to fear real, or fear from manipulative suggestions.
The panic came from the belief that you were unable to control the situation, mentally or physically. That some harm and/or loss was going to come to you. You began to suggest all types of irrational outcomes and alternatives. In your state of panic, you believed that these thoughts were localized to this perceived real event. So, the message you fed yourself must have been real. The google definition would say that you believed that the logic which was formed in this state of panic, although flawed, seemed to form a logical message.
Once you grasp all of that you will finally have the foregoing conclusions. That no matter the situation, it is our thoughts that form our world around us and within us. The situation may have been very real. What made the situation stronger or weaker, distorted or undistorted, was the way that we handled the pressure of that sudden reality.
If someone is known for beating on women or on men because the abuser feels the loss of control; so, they think that by fear and beatings they gain that control back, this is real. If you do not make dinner in time and the partner becomes enraged, or the ol' man is constantly out with the boys every night, and hates when he is questioned by you; and has started raising his fists and other objects at you, these things are real!!!
Your mind and body were not created to take these things at the curl whelms of others. One time is all that it takes to have the existence of another extinguished.
EMERGENCY MEDITATION:
This applies to the above paragraph. "Emergency Meditation" comes about in extreme or life and death situations. This meditation is not a rushed, hurried, nor panic meditation! It is derived from a must needs, do now: yet plan wisely & quickly dissertation.
This type of meditation is one that is used on the go of everyday life and the continual guise of all is well and being taken care of (housework, food preparations, sex if it is required of you, etc.). All operations are perceived as normal. Yet all the while you are doing a "Katie Holmes."
All things are slowly, calmly, & precisely planned within your mind. food, money, place to stay, emergency contacts, numbers, escape avenues, one or two select close personal friends that know nothing until the event is now underway: but they can be depended upon in times of an emergency. How to prepare the children. a piece of clothing here, a piece of clothing there. A shoe missing over there, now no shoe anywhere - except what is needed and will not be missed. When all is planned correctly, then write it down and place it in a high place where it cannot be seen or accidently discovered. We tend to forget things and their order when under stress.
When the time comes, and that person has gone for a time, you are out of there, safe. Not to be seen again. And if seen, because one chooses to stay in that town, you are well protected with friends, lawyers, and police if need be.
These are some of the different ways to meditate. We all meditate in different ways on different matters, for different reasons. Since we all do it, I think that I would want to learn to do it right, to get the most out of the efforts I am putting into it. This betters myself. And in turn it helps better the next person that comes along, through my sharing.
It is my hope that what-ever I might write about, it will help just one person at least. I am not a doctor: but I did stay in a Holiday Inn! LOL
It is my life's experiences that I hope will be of some benefits to others? I like to give truth: sometimes in its raw form. And it is true, not all truth can be swallowed or accepted. But that does not, and will not change, TRUTH!
Perhaps one time it be some truths on religion? for now, go out and meditate on the things that cause you to lose control, to think irrationally, and to panic and form distorted views and realities. Meditate and concentrate on your emotions and feelings. Learn to redirect them in a positive way so that they can work for you: not you remaining a slave to your emotions and untrained mind. You can do it. I have faith in you. And that's Truth's Corner!
