Death of a Salesman. Content Warning.
I once explained to a small group my ideas for selling an odd mismatched item. At the end of the discussion, in which I shared a rather off-the-wall approach that actually HAS worked before, one of the people asked me if I could sell ice to the Eskimos.

THE HEALING POWER OF SOUND
In the beginning was “Thought”. The thought became Desire, and life came into being; where Desire is, there is life. Where there is no Desire, there is no life. Desire became Allurement and love came into being, for where there is Allurement, there is Love. Where there is no Allurement, there is no love. Love became a word. From word came the primordial sound by which the world was created and is sustained.

Why We Get Triggered
The notion of being triggered, although sometimes overused, rests upon a profoundly significant concept within the realm of psychology . Being triggered, at its core, entails reacting with intense fear and anger to a current situation, which, to others, may appear innocuous and untroubling. In one moment, we may be composed, and in the next, we find ourselves plunged into despair and terror. The future, which once seemed promising only moments ago, now appears fraught with ruin and catastrophe. Those who experience these episodes would greatly prefer to maintain their composure and optimism. While it is crucial to understand how to experience fear or anger when circumstances genuinely warrant it, being triggered often feels counterproductive and utterly draining. It involves grappling with powerful emotions that are unjustified by the immediate surroundings and offer no benefit to our well-being.

Trauma
What is trauma? A trauma is not merely a terrible event though it is very much that too. It is a terrible event that has not been adequately processed, understood and unpicked and that has, through neglect, being able to cast a very long and undeserved shadow over huge areas of our experience.

UNDERSTAND OR CONDEMN
The old story of "give mercy, not execute", was an example of our generation's learning of Estonian grammar, how the choice of the place of the comma can completely change the meaning of the sentence, but since the landlord did not have a good relationship with commas, the comma was placed in the second place instead. "Not to pardon, but to execute" and only because of the comma, the one who actually wanted to be pardoned lost his life.

Whispers of the Night
In the quiet depths of the night, when the world is cloaked in shadows and the conscious mind takes its much-needed rest, a realm of infinite possibilities comes alive.

This is the story of dreams unveiled, where the journey of dream analysis transcends time and transforms lives.
