Das Leben nach dem Tod: Eine Betrachtung aus der Perspektive der Reinkarnation

Die Frage nach dem, was nach dem Tod geschieht, ist so alt wie die Menschheit selbst. Verschiedene Kulturen und Religionen haben im Laufe der Geschichte unterschiedliche Antworten darauf gefunden. Eine der faszinierendsten Vorstellungen ist die der Reinkarnation – die Idee, dass unsere Seelen nach dem Tod in einer neuen Form weiterleben. Dieses Konzept findet sich in vielen östlichen Philosophien…

Anything For My Partner

Whumptober Day 13: "Idon't feel so good."

Anything For My Partner

Summary: Early SHIELD. Clints learns a little something about his partner.

AN: Dialogue driven because it's 11:52pm my time...this is such a rough draft

"I don't feel so good."

"That's an understatemnet. What were you thinking?" She soaked the cotton swab with alochol, scowling.

"That my partner needed help?" He answered like he was going to get in trouble.

He was.

"I had it under control." Natasha not so gently dabbed at his wounds all over his arms.

"You had four men pinning you against a wall and a fifth about to slit your throat." He flinched, trying to jerk away but she held fast.

"The fifth one was Raymond Moody, Cambodian Special Forces. He and two others had .45s still on them. Any one of them could have shot you mid-air."

"But they didn't. They knew you were the bigger threat."

She snorted.

That made Clint smile.

Speaking of book recommendations after I just shared a post of them...one of the ladies I volunteered with had a shit year a few years back, losing her son and other family members. With my sympathy card I sent her a typed list of books on grief and grieving that had helped me after losing Theriac (Joanne Cacciatore's Bearing the Unbearable, Louis LaGrande's Healing Grief, Finding Peace: 101 Ways to Cope with the Death of Your Loved One, and Raymond Moody's Life After Loss are all pretty short, accessible, and offer a board first aid kit. Also, you could do worse than to grab some of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's lectures.). Apparently it really helped her, and this past weekend she told me she still had the list and passed it on to a relative of hers who lost her husband this year.

Not all of the advice in every book is going to help; there are some aspects of grief I doubt any book can actually help with. But the recommendations are successful, I'd guess, because a) reading can occupy your mind when you're grieving (and you might as well read about grief because you're not going to be distracted from it), b) learning something new helps people feel more in control of their life & environment and can offer a sense of hope, c) even if the recipient never reads any of the books, being given a book list is a way to say "I care about you and want to help" which is a good message to send. From my own grief experience I also think it's especially powerful to hear "I went through something similar to you and this is what helped me" - it's proof there's life on the other side.

Anyway, 2 more book recs for 2 quite different end-of-life outcomes, which I think you should ideally read before any of your loved ones die so you can actually use the information (also, honestly? Very helpful writing research):

Final Journeys and Final Gifts by Maggie Callanan -- a hospice nurse's guide to the kinds of decisions, conflicts, and sometimes puzzling behavior and experiences encountered when a loved one is in palliative care. Journeys is the more broadly practical book (from the 'writing research' perspective, it also offers some great examples of conflict, memorable scenes, and psychology insights); Gifts looks particularly at spiritual experiences at the end of life, including end of life visions (which happen to all kinds of people and can be a good thing to be prepared for regardless of your own spiritual beliefs). If Gifts proves fascinating, a more recent book on the subject of end of life experiences is Death is But a Dream.

I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Death of a Loved One is for the opposite end of experience, where a loss is abrupt and unexpected. It offers advice, myth-busting, and real-life stories from people who are bereaved through suicide, crime, and accidents. I recommend this for everyone because 1) It could happen to you (speaking as someone it's happened to multiple times) and having some knowledge ahead of time will not make it less painful, but could make it less bewildering, 2) It could happen to your loved ones, friends, and co-workers, and you can be more supportive with some knowledge, 3) Back to writing research: this book's information on myth-busting, how grief affects children at different ages, tips for coping when a loved one's' death is part of a tragedy that brings media attention, and vivid examples of the various ways real people have responded to grief can make you a more accurate writer. And I'll be honest, as someone who's Been There, when I read a book that was clearly written by an author who hasn't Been There and hasn't even tried to figure out what it's like, it's ranges from annoying to offensive to actively painful. [Also, if you want to do better at understanding+ depicting grief, read grief memoirs: Elizabeth McCracken's An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination is about miscarriage but resonated so strongly with my very different grief experiences, so I think it's tapping into something, if not universal, at least very broad; Sonali Deraniyagala's Wave, about the loss of multiple generations of her family in the Boxing Day tsunami, manages to depict events and feelings that verge on the indescribable.]

Alma mater (Latin: alma mater,貝lit. 'nourishing mother'; pl.: almae matres) is an allegorical Latin phrase used to proclaim a school that a person has attended or, more usually, from which one has graduated. Alma mater is also a honorific title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele. Later, in Catholicism, it became a title of Mary, mother of Jesus.

The term entered academic use when the University of Bologna, Italy, founded in 1088 and world's oldest university in continuous operation, adopted the motto Alma Mater Studiorum ("nurturing mother of studies").

It's weird writing prompt time!

Today: Mirrors: For now we see through a glass, darkly

As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing creepier than mirrors.

The movies know this well, and today we’re going to do a little reflection on the topic (haha) by looking at some favorite superstitions and legends involving mirrors. (And yes, I mean Bloody Mary.) But did you know studies show you really can see weird stuff in mirrors? Here's a good way:

The Psychomanteum

A psychomanteum is a tiny room with dim lighting and a mirror. A subject sits in a chair and gazes into the mirror, and, well— stuff happens. No, really. Dr. Raymond Moody used a psychomanteum in grief therapy, and it gave some people relief via visions of their departed loved ones. It's called the strange-face-in-the-mirror illusion. Why does this work? Why do people caution against looking into a mirror by candlelight? Why do we see Bloody Mary or ghosts or beloved family members in mirrors? When you gaze at a fixed point, the brain stops paying attention to your peripheral vision. And then it starts filling in that space with what it’s focusing on: a human face. In a study under these conditions, people saw relatives, strangers, animals, and monstrous creatures, some scary and some benign. It depends on whether you’re primed to see beloved family members or evil witches. So yes, you really might see Bloody Mary if you look hard enough.

Check out the blog post for the whole story, and some reflective writing prompts, such as:

Let me first say that the psychomanteum did provide comfort for people, so I want to keep sight of that. But as far as fiction, horror prompts for the psychomanteum practically write themselves, even before I say that Dr. Moody based it on the Necromanteion of Acheron, which is a place the ancient Greeks went to speak with the dead. (This is called necromancy.) So yes, let’s put a character all alone in a room with dim lighting and a mirror and see what happens. Maybe it’s a happy meeting. Maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s that old trope of demons disguising themselves as benign people, or perhaps as a double of yourself (after all, you’re the one in the mirror to start with). Or maybe the whole room is a portal— if you cross over into another psychomanteum, try to remember which side is your own!

the english dub of gamera isn't nearly as much of a reworking as the raymond burr edit of godzilla was, but it is shocking how much better the movie is when it isn't washed out and the actors are using their actual voices. it's so crisp and moody and all of that was entirely absent from the tv edits i've seen before; even the stuff with kenny/toshio plays entirely different when you aren't suffering through a dreary dub job

that's not even really a knock on the acting of the voice actors, but dubbing was frequently a pretty thankless job until fairly recently, and it's just so much easier to connect with the characters when they sound like actual human beings and not some bored day laborer rattling through all their lines over six hours in a sound booth

favorite fictional crushes from old movies? ☺️ your account is so pretty

this has been sitting in my inbox for a minute thank you for asking and waiting!! this is such a fun question 💗

♡ joe bradley from roman holiday (1953)

the perfect man!! you know it would be hard to follow princess ann but once he falls for you he would treasure you and spend days doing anything you wanted then carrying you to bed when you got tired

♡ david parkson from the reluctant debutante (1958)

“he’s every woman’s type. tall, dark, lean, handsome, broad shoulders, i mean what more could anyone want?” not only does he have beautiful manners and insane flirting skills but he is a freaking DUKE and you’d get to live with him in his italian villa. plus i’ve always had a thing for drummers. basically he’s the fictional man of my dreams

♡ rod anderson jr. from what a way to go! (1964)

okay but how fun would it be to be married to rod anderson jr. to just spend your days shopping and going to glitzy parties and making love in a champagne glass bed. just don’t let him try milking a bull and you’re good!!!

♡ jerry mulligan from an american in paris (1951)

just imagine the nighttime walks, holding hands in museums, sitting in his little apartment while he paints you… and he would be the best daddy!!!

♡ raymond dabney in personal property (1937)

he’s so playful and affectionate and there would be and all the free lingerie you could ever dream of!! and this was robert taylor’s most gorgeous era, i’d be happy to just sit and look at him

♡ leopold dilg from the talk of the town (1942)

idk about how long-lasting this relationship would be, but it would be fun while it lasted. he’d make you food and tell you crazy stories and kiss the brains out of you. plus he’s just too handsome to not crush on

♡ ram bowen from paris blues (1961)

i know this one wouldn’t last lmao. he’s moody, he’s emotionally unavailable, he’d never put you first. he would break your heart into a million pieces but he would for sure be the best lay of your life and you’d never forget him

[terrence-silver]

Would terry warn beloved not to be around him while he’s drunk or would that be something beloved finds out themself?

---

Drukennes inherently means someone's lost control, truth to tell, and Terry Silver does hate his control jepodized in any situation, even by his own hand. In fact, he loathes when he loses control because of himself more than due to any other factor out there because that betrayal comes from inside the house, and is as such far more haunting and dangerous (and even infuriating) than someone from the outside threatening his authority over his own surrondings or even his own agency.

So? Only makes sense that he'd prefer to lose it, if he must lose it at all, in solitude.

It also means one has a limit with alcohol, whether it is a big or small one, a human limit innately exists somewhere in spite of all discipline, and Terry would rather, quite frankly, not be seen in moments he deems explicitly vulnerable, embarrassing, compromising or limiting, yes. He seems like the type who likes casually drinking (or rather, degustating) in company, in any occasion ranging from events, fundraisers, basic socialization, in any setting that gives him ample chances to show off his knowledge around liquor and its collecting or brewing, during his own leisure time, in the sauna, in the tub --- you name it --- or merely over dinner with a familiar face or a business associate but that he'd much prefer getting drunk as such alone, possibly behind closed doors, with his own space of privacy, where nobody can see him in that state or even in the process of sobering up, yes, not even beloved, because again, being drunk isn't pretty. Filters are gone. Posturing can disappear. Triggers can become amplified. Weaknesses are often out on display. Masks come off. Senses are muddled. Not as acute as he'd like at all times and that is...not his cup of tea --- him not being top performance isn't his cup of tea, no --- notwithstanding that I figure that the very need to quell anything at all with alcohol, and as such, be dependent on something even if it is something traditionally associated with pleasure and hedonism like a good drink is just as harrowing to him due to the very fact he needs it, even though, he undoubtedly does it constantly.

Ironically though ---

The one person who might come seeking out beloved when drunk is actually Terry himself, even though he was the one to retire and tactically retreat from beloved while he was in the process of getting in this state in the first place. Might've warned them off himself, sure. Forbade them from coming looking for him while he's at it. Except, if all emotions are heightened and more chaotic with inhebriation sprinkled in, the moodiness of affection, desire and neediness becomes heightened along with everything else, because no, I actually don't Terry's a violent drunk, per se. With Stingray, there was a visible moment where Terry was shown to make a cognizant choice beat Raymond up as a ploy to frame it on John there and then, but that was a logically made decision, not an irrational one. He decided on that in the moment. His actual nature while he's drunk, though? Charged with intensity. I can imagine a drunk Terry as the type to just wordlessly come to beloved and just cling to them for dear life, not letting go, with no way to shrug him off, caught in a vice grip, staring them down, not blinking. It is as sexually charged as it is daunting, admittedly. Yes, sure, he's warned them not to be around him right now, but he said nothing about him not being around them, huh? Ultimately, he's the type of drunk who will say some very strange, very bizarre, very outlandish things to beloved while intoxicated. Do things just as strange, bizarre and outlandish, undoubtedly cornering beloved, not letting them go, still just as imposing and as capable with his physicality the way he would be when sober. If not more. His hunger, yearnings and thirst on full display, no wall repressing him back, he craves to feed; people do say drinking opens the apetite after all.

Who's to say he wouldn't wanna fuck?

Maybe even get emotional after it while the alcohol is wearing off.

Gentle Giant Co-founder and Bassist Ray Shulman Dies at 73

Ray Shulman, co-founder and bassist of British prog band Gentle Giant, died March 30 “after battling a long illness,” the band said.

He was 73.

“May Raymond Shulman rest in peace and love,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.

Gentle Giant released 11 studio albums during its 1970-1980 run. Shulman went on to work as a composer and a producer, contributing to box sets by Tangerine Dream, Steve Hackett, Al Stewart, Chris Squire, the Moody Blues, the Alan Parsons Project and others.

“It’s not exaggerating when I say his input … made each project special,” Esoteric Recordings’ Mark Powell said in a statement.

“He was a very lovely man and I will miss his friendly manner. He made each project a pleasure.”

Primarily a bassist, Shulman also played violin, trumpet, recorder and guitar with Gentle Giant, which included his older brothers Derek and Philip, who survive.

Derek Shulman eulogized Ray as a “genius” and “a kind and caring soul” in a Facebook post.

Proof of an Afterlife: the Shared-Death Experience with Raymond Moody and Paul Perry

In 1975, Raymond Moody coined the term near death experience in his classic book, Life After Life. For half a century, he has researched some of life’s greatest mysteries. As both a PhD in philosophy and an MD, he has had a strong interest in how medical realities intersect with the ineffable realm of philosophy. In his multiple roles as author, professor, public speaker and grief counselor, he has heard thousands of accounts of near death, shared death and after death experiences.

Paul Perry Perry is the co-author of many best-selling books concerning near-death experiences and the afterlife, six of them were written with Raymond Moody. His newest book with Moody is Proof of Life After Life: 7 Reasons to Believe There is an Afterlife.
