POKER

A high stake gamble

win or die

played by countless

poker faced, I

Grab the chance

this fortune dont come twice

cut my wings

sell it for a price

the people stare

Sweat covered cards, I hold

I ripped the 7 of diamonds

meaningful soul, broken ten-fold

a final sip from a glass of ice cold beer

breathe in,breathe out

gamble raised to the extreme

flowing money, flowing sin, persisting doubt

an airconditioned room full of people

mixed stench,mixed emotions

looking back with closed eyes

living half alive aided by illusions

ten of hearts to ace of hearts

a royal flush to wing the game

cut the head of the king of hearts

let the queen have all the fame

all in!the bet was called

lay down your life!the people roared

I threw the cards and grabbed the knife

crimson red blood, painted the floor

The people say bleed!bleed!

must maintain the poker-faced mask I wear

pretend the slice dont hurt, gamble thy dear life

Tick~Tock

I would die,atleast I took the dare

I say bleed!bleed!blee~

The Power of your Thoughts

(creating your own placebo)

Placebo is the so called illusion medicine. Its a fake medicine that gives real medicinal effects. The patient just needs to think that the placebo is the real medicine although it is not. an example of this is when a person is having a headache or something you give him/her a sugar pill(pill w/ sugar inside instead of medicine) instead of a real pain reliever without telling that person that its not a real pain reliever. The desired effect of being relieved of pain would materialize since the brain recieved the information without biological basis that the person drank a real pain reliever although it is not real.

The Placebo is a very powerful tool. It removes possible side effects and problems a real medicine could give while still gaining the desired effect.

The power of your thoughts is quite simple yet very difficult to understand. It is simply thinking what you want to materialize. immaterial things like pain,happiness,sadness,hope,love,and the sort could only materialize in two ways. if this emotions were manifested physically or emotionally through the environment or when you think and tell your mind that this emotions really exist.

"I think ___ therefore I am ___"

This is the simplest solution to this effect. A positive outlook is needed for this to work as well as a very understanding mind.

We all have a beautiful mind, a very powerful tool and weapon it is.

There are situations when you need to relive yourself from negative feelings like pain and sadness and it is in these situations that the power of your thoughts is needed to create your own placebo effect.Creating your own placebo is quite complicated.

1.)Identification

-You first need to identify the situation and feeling you want to negate and transform. Feelings of denial and confusion should be set aside. You need to learn to breathe in and relax and let the rational being within you take over. The first step to everything is to accept that there is something wrong.(ie.accepting you are emotionally hurt)

2.)Reflect

-Next you need to know how hurt or how much in pain are you. You need to assess how long this would take. If you can survive this or something. Then ask yourself the question why. The second step deals with knowing the roots of your problem.

3.)Placebo Application

-Lastly, you need to identify the opposite of the feeling you want to remove. (ie. Sadness/happiness , Guilt/Peace, etc.) After you have realized the counter emotion you want to apply, the most difficult part comes in. You have to make your mind believe you are feeling the opposite.(ie. If you are sad you have to think that you are happy) The initial part of telling your mind what it should feel is the only difficult part, once you are succesful in doing so, the rest will follow.

Explore your thoughts.Some pain are self inflicted.This placebo effect however is not adviseble to biological pains and sickness that needs real medical attention.

The Beauty of Psychology.

Just want to share a piece of inspiration I learned from my Abnormal Psychology teacher Prof. Yusof Indin.

Never dwell in the past for in the past. regret,guilt,anger,pain, and sadness are the only emotions found in the past.

Never look forward the future so much for Exitement is never always good for you. It brings about Anxiety and stress.

In the present, no past nor future exist. the present is the most important thing.For in the present, happiness exist.

Happiness in the context of the past is a sort of illusion. A feeling you want to experience again. And dwelling here would only lead to regret or sadness for not being in the state of happiness in the present while reminiscing the past happiness.

Happiness in the context of the future is somewhat ambitious. A big wat if. this big question of what if is the main reason for anxiety to take place and bring stress to your life. And could also be the source of regret or disappointment if this expectation of happiness fails to materialize.

Stay in the Present. Keep what makes you happy in the present. The human mind is not supposed to be used to dwell on something that is not beneficial to the well being of a person.

The beauty of the human mind is so amazing to be wasted...Only mankind was given the chance to think and comprehend. But its a waste to see mankind waste the power of such a beautiful mind.

"Think Beyond"

Learn from the past. Hope for the Future. But always live for the present.
