Crackers said she may not have been able to tell if the sociopath was lying in the film and wondered if you could teach that kind of skill.  I think you can (readily) teach people to think critically but I had another angle on this she might have been touching on

After watching that movie, or part of it, I asked the soldier if he thought the psychologist knew he was being bullshitted.  He said  he didn’t know and neither of us were interested enough to watch and try to find out because the lying killer was so nauseating.

“In the 60’s they thought schizophrenia was caused by by parents, the mother, the family. Autism, too. If someone had an autistic kid if was because they were a lousy mother.”

The soldier laughed.

“Well they did think this. If was the brainy idea of the times and these poor parents.  The mothers, I mean.  They were told their kid was fine until they got hold of them.   If you’d have hugged your kid…  if you did not subconsciously hate your child, none of this would be happening.  The parents bought it for the most part for a myriad of reasons. This was accepted at the time, and there are people out there who still believe this. Yes. I know people who believe this right now, this year.  A person is schizophrenic because the family did it, they needed a scapegoat.”

I was talking to the soldier, he was filling me on some details of one of his stories and I was thinking it ought to be a movie.  Of course to make a movie someone has to write the thing and the someone would be me of course. It would have to be me because I am the only person he is going to tell anything to and I just felt this horrible weight.  What is a person to do with their life anyway?  What if there are more things to do then you can manage?  How do you choose?

The Moon in Sagittarius runs into Saturn in Virgo today and as a result the collective mood drops a few degrees. Just as important, Mercury is now in Cancer opposing Pluto in Capricorn which is a similar exchange.

It is independence day here and Americans are sure to consider have their “home country” on their mind and be stirred at a deeper level than what is usual for the holiday.

Business. With Pluto In Capricorn, it has become a dirty word. Well you all know how contrary I am. I like business. I even like big business. What I like most about big business is little people can take them down.

I have hired satori to do some stuff behind the scenes on this blog. I can’t pay her much but I am paying her and it occurred to me last night it is possible she could wind up with a full time job if she wanted it and some other people could work here too. This seems pretty shocking.

It is shocking but I have come to a point where I can’t cover all the bases and it makes sense for me to focus on what I am best it, namely creating content and being available for consultations.

“You said you thought if we got together, we’d stay together. We’d be together through all these lives…”

“Well now, P, you take things to literal. I hope that’s the case and I think it will be but I don’t know. You could mess it up. I could mess it up. We could both wind up a pile of dust!’

I sighed.

“P, I just don’t know but I do know I don’t want that dog hanging around me,” he said.

“Dora?”

“Yeah, Dora. I don’t want to see her in future lives if I can help it.”

The soldier and I were discussing the possibility of moving outside the US. We’d be somewhere Spanish speaking.

“I know you’re going to tell people I’m crazy in Spanish,” I said.

“They are going to notice that, P.”

“Notice I am crazy?”

“Yeah.”

“Well just explain that anyone who gets near you, I’ll kill them.”

“Everyone knows that,” he said.

Occasionally I get talking to someone in the gym and they’ll say something about my body. Something nice. And I am always very grateful, not just for the compliment but for the chance to reflect. Because it surely hasn’t always been this way.

“Thanks,” I’ll say. “Thanks very much. It’s taken awhile. When I first walked in here, I was really overweight. I got on one those treadmills over there and I was so out of shape, when I got off the whole room was spinning!”
