Question What do you think?

Someone sent this to me:


You are amazing. Many do not understand your bipolar nature; but
you can rest assured ...

The bipolar experience is no more than this:
A heroic soul born inhumanely sensitive,
desperately in need of true connection.

To you ... a touch is a blow, a misfortune is a tragedy,
a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a daydream is a
premonition, strictness is suffocation, and completion is death.

Add to your brutally sensitive soul the overwhelming need to
heal, create, and transform -- so that without the outpouring
of honesty, the creating of music or poetry or something of
meaning your very breath is cut off ...

You must create, must pour out your entire being in each and
every encounter. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency you do
not feel truly alive unless you are risking everything through
your divine expression.

Thank you for having the courage to create ... to transform ...
to be ... in a way other souls don't.

For without your courage and your light
the world would grow listless and dull
and the rest of us who are like you
would not have your courageous acts
to inspire our own.


Rock on,

Buck 's poetry.

May be I am hardened and cynical, but I wonder where this person is coming from!
What do you think?

Default The part about the Da-Vinci-Method got my attention

http://www.amazon.com/Da-Vinci-Metho.../dp/0977486001

Hi,

Here's the amazon link to the DaVinci Method.

That doesn't make sense to me.
I don't know. What caught your ear / eye?

The whole effort of people with bipolar is to create balance -- not to express the fire.
And truthfully sometimes I am only a spark a way of igniting the fire. I don't need any help getting there.

Angry

I am writing a blog entry on this and will post when I finish.
I personally think it is cruel and irresponsible and by the way, it is part of an attempt to sell a book.
Why am I not surprised?
