I pity the self-loathing

Lately, I have been a bit blue due the bad behaviors exhibited by many, many people who choose to behave abominably. While I struggle every day to find the beauty in people of this culture that embraces ugliness as a "starting point," I find Myself a bit fatigued. Well, that's what I get for (1) having expectations in the first place that most people work towards being the Highest they can be and (2) fantasizing that they desire to be better than common and trite instead of paying attention to the truth these people show Me.

Along with that annoyance are the people who attempt to "top" Me via what I refer to as "reindeer games" - you know, the "make-wrong" tactics (as demonstrated poorly on a daily basis by the teabaggers). They try to "trap" you with a comment about something you say and/or do that is intended to put you on the defensive while feigning to place themselves on a higher level of consciousness than where they see evidence that you are.

The reasons these reindeer games do not work on Me are:

I "walk My talk." EVERYTHING you will read that I have presented to and for you is My absolute Truth.

I am not concerned with whether or not people like Me. I honestly feel that those who are worthy of My time, consideration and attention are those who will "get" Me and My message and choose to enjoy My Domain. Anyone with a nefarious intention cannot exist in My Domain because it IS about Truth. I am brave enough to face My Truth and, therefore, am not rattled by anyone else's inability to accept what IS about Me and My Life.

I love and accept Myself, permit Myself opportunities to grow, and work to operate on Higher Levels of consciousness on a daily basis. Yes, this is quite a challenge, and it really does help to be a sadist...

I have no attachment to people agreeing with Me. Everyone experiences life differently and I respect that. I also have no attachment to agreeing with others. Agreement is not as important as respect is - without respect, there is nothing.

What is so tedious about these reindeer gamers is that I have taken the time to put everything you need to know about Me on the internet, available for free and they don't bother to read it - they just look for something to attempt to top Me.

Evidence of a Higher Level of Consciousness is compassion. I pity "haters" and venerate "appreciaters". I understand that The Mirror is the true test of how you care for yourself. When you look in The Mirror, do you love yourself? like yourself?

Though I see these reindeer gamers clearly, and it would be all too easy to drop down to their level to make sure that they understand that I am not the one they can feed their negativity with, I choose to educate them with the opportunity to grow towards the self-love that will make their lives happy and whole.

Education is the reason I give How To Present yourself To A Mistress for FREE and continuing in the giving spirit, purchases of the full version support My Charities.

I truly believe that if you're not a part of the solution, you're a part of the problem. I am a a major part of the solution to what is important in My Domain.

I am so glad to love what I see in The Mirror. I sincerely wish that joy to everyone and I support you in doing the work to have this joy.

Oatmeal-Apple Dog Cookies

Lil Doggie's favorite biscuit recipe from The Good Food Cookbook for Dogs by Donna Twichell Roberts!

4 cups whole-wheat flour

2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal

1-1/4 cups water

1/4 cup minced apple

3 Tbsp ground cinnamon

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

2 Tbsp honey

1 Tbsp ground cloves

1. Heat oven to 325-degrees F. Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly until combined to form dough.

~ Tip from My Mom: Spoon in oil and then honey so that honey pours easily from spoon.

2. Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter, cut into bone shapes. Combine dough scraps; continue to roll out and cut into shapes until all dough has been used.

3. Place cookies on ungreased foil-lined baking sheets. Bake 30 to 35 minutes.

Makes 5 to 6 dozen cookies.

+++++++++++++

Note: Lil Doggie didn't mind that his cookies were not in "bone" shapes. He was perfectly satisfied with stars, circles, snowman, and other shapes.

APA Paraphilias Subworkgroup Agrees: Kinky is NOT a Diagnosis

APA Paraphilias Subworkgroup Agrees: Kinky is NOT a Diagnosis In the new proposals for the DSM-V, alternative sexual behavior has been depathologized. The American Psychiatric Association’s Paraphilias Subworkgroup’s DSM revisions acknowledge that you can be a fetishist, transvestite, sexual sadist or sexual masochist without having a mental disorder. NCSF has worked very hard with its DSM Revision Project to make sure these changes take place, and will continue to strongly advocate for clear language of what exactly constitutes a mental disorder. Susan Wright liaisoned with the work group and supplied data that NCSF has gathered about the real-world discrimination and persecution that takes place against BDSM-fetish practitioners because of the DSM-IV-TR. The DSM Revision Petition was also extremely useful in generating comment from community members and mental health professionals urging that the current diagnoses be changed. To see the proposed changes, go to: http://www.dsm5.org/ProposedRevisions/Pages/SexualandGenderIdentityDisorders.aspx Read the “Rationale” section under each diagnosis to see their thinking on the paraphilias. The work group makes it clear that “non-normative” sexual behavior is practiced by healthy people: “The first broad change follows from our consensus that paraphilias are not ipso facto psychiatric disorders. We are proposing that the DSM-V make a distinction between paraphilias and paraphilic disorders. A paraphilia by itself would not automatically justify or require psychiatric intervention. A paraphilic disorder is a paraphilia that causes distress or impairment to the individual or harm to others. One would ascertain a paraphilia (according to the nature of the urges, fantasies, or behaviors) but diagnose a paraphilic disorder (on the basis of distress and impairment). In this conception, having a paraphilia would be a necessary but not a sufficient condition for having a paraphilic disorder.” “These revisions will affect everything-child custody, job discrimination battles, and even help change the way society views us,” says Leigha Fleming, Chairperson and Director of Incident Response. “I think of all the people over the years who have had the DSM used as a tool of discrimination and punishment, and I’m proud of NCSF for continuing the fight to change it. This is the first step towards decriminalization of BDSM, which NCSF is pursuing with our Consent Counts project.” The Paraphilias Subworkgroup is now reconsidering what constitutes “clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning” when determining a mental disorder. The DSM must make it clear that people do suffer distress and impairment because of the societal stigma against alternative sex, but that doesn’t mean they are suffering distress that is generated internally. As part of the development process, the preliminary draft revisions to the current diagnostic criteria for psychiatric diagnoses are now available for public review and comment until April. Personal comments about discrimination and persecution are welcome additions to this commentary to continue to urge the work group to differentiate between sexual minorities and sex offenders. Just as Norway recently joined Sweden and Denmark in removing consensual paraphilias entirely, NCSF continues to urge the complete removal of these paraphilias from the DSM. However like the incremental removal of homosexuality (to egodystonic homosexuality and then finally taken out in 1987) this is an important step for the BDSM-leather-fetish community. NCSF needs your support to continue important projects like the DSM Revision Project that directly impact peoples’ lives. Please join NCSF to show solidarity! We do so much for very little money, and we need your help. Please donate to NCSF now!
