When I Wake Up In The Morning Dialectical Journal
THOUGHTS ABOUT THOUGHTS

“When I wake up in the morning….” So the 500,000 songs go, and anything is possible after that. You could “be sorry for not givin her all the luvin she deserved and now she ain’t no more”….. Or you “see the risin sun and it brings you back to Wyoming in the summer”….or you “have one more cup of coffee and one more cigarette and one more turn pike”. Sometimes better to have slept it out! The last man I asked if he heard voices said: “I wake up in the morning and I’m a true believer and I praise the Lord”, and I daren’t contradict him. He had scaled the morning blues and the Everest of human thought and was on his way to another world and way of being. This really was Major Tom to ground control! (C/o David Bowie’s song). His rockets were firing and nothing could stop him now. He had lift off and was staring down at us.

Human thought like the dog that got the flat nose from following too many parked cars, comes up

They have the power to change us if we allow them. This change can be for the better or worse, and so it is crucial that we know what we are thinking and allowing ourselves to be exposed to. Most if not all food products these days have labels saying exactly what is in the tin and where it came from. Thoughts and directions of our will should also be accountable. Once they get in past our first line of defence, our vigilance and screening process, they can infect the DNA of our personalities like a virus. Obviously good thoughts and good images and good experiences, have a similar capacity to change us once admitted to our inner sanctum. We are vulnerable and like a child let loose in a laboratory with poisonous chemicals, we too could drink some of the red stuff and a bit of the “water” and a pinch of that green powder, and end up hopeless, despairing, depressed….from imbibing the wrong thought, image, experience

    We've recently watched the movie 23 Skidoo both in class and on our own time at home. When I first saw it in class, I was a bit confused and I didn't really understand what was happening in the film. After re-watching it, I understood that it is a film about a post-nuclear bomb explosion. What's different about this movie is that there is no narrative, or actors, but there is music. I find that it makes you concentrate more on what's happening in the film because no one's explaining it to you. The music featured in the film wasn't continuous. It made the setting more mysterious because sometimes, the music would be almost scary sounding, and you'd think that something was about to happen. It made me create other scenarios…

    In the first section “A Whisper of Angels” Nicholas and Henry keep there feelings hidden because the society that they live in does not socially except two men having that kid of affection for each other. As I read in the first chapter “Henry had been my best friend since childhood” (Florida pg. 3-8) Nicholas and Henry have been best friends since they were little boys so they were very close . Nicholas recently lost his father so he still is mourning his death and Henry is always there for him emotionally. As I read ahead I realize that Nicholas and Henry have feelings for each other and the author , Florido fore shadows that when Henry says “The thing is Nic, I, well I just don’t” (pg.10) this is when Nicholas asked Henry if liked…

    Positive-Attitude-Can-Change-The-World-Around-You The Powers of a Positive Attitude I am going to ask you to something very weird right now. First of all, I want you to listen to your thoughts. Now tell me, what thoughts fill your head? Would you label them as positive, or negative? Now let's say you are walking down the street with these thoughts. Do you think anyone who would meet you would be able to tell you what’s on your mind? The answer to number one is up to you. But, the answer number two can be pretty generic. Although people will not be able to tell you exactly what you think, they will more or less have an idea of how you are feeling. Here's another question. When you enter a party filled with friends, do they all fall silent as if something terrible had happened? Or does everybody there perk up as if waiting for something exciting to happen? You know what? The answer to all these depends on your frame of mind. Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too – unless, of course, you are a great actor. And it doesn't end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you. The type of attitude you carry depends on you. It can be either positive or negative. Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this type of attitude. Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake. A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude. We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, more or less you have a negative attitude brewing up. However, if you choose to focus on the positive…
