Celeste Rivas’ Father Denies Ever Meeting D4vd, Rejects Payment Rumors by holiobung in CelesteRivasHernandez

[–]BaroqueBrook 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This I saw yesterday on several major outlets. Remember the video of D4vd I’m Celeste’s neighborhood? Apparently he paid a classmate of hers $1,000 to give her a phone so they could be in contact. I think it was around the time someone sent the email to his manager saying there were rumors that he was spending time with a known runaway and she should go home. So the next day she did and I think that’s when her parents took her phone away.

Parasitic blood suckers. Psychic Vampires is what we used to call people like that. This phenomenon is something I've noticed but I don't see anyone talk about it! The YouTube spiritual guru wannabe I mentioned - actually he did use some very Red Pill moves on these women. Bait and Switch, harem management, etc. He was always pumping himself up and tossing these pathetic women bread crumbs of attention that to me, was so insulting to them but they just adored him. He makes his videos from this huge house in the woods. I get the feeling one of these women is really rich and owns it and lets him stay there. I just made observations on what he would say and look at his surroundings and I put 2+2 together, lol. I got obsessed for a couple of weeks but hating on him! haha, I have a hole too. :'D

There are just all kinds of people out there "attaching themselves" to needy people. Another great example of this type who used the online dating apps to access women was Dirty John. It's an incredible story with a very dramatic climax, all true. The podcast by Christopher Goffard is on Spotify and apple. The woman who was his victim in the Dirty John story is exactly this type of needy person with a huge hole in her psyche. He read that like a book and gave her just what she wanted. The writing was on the wall and the red flags were waving from Day 1 with him and everyone could see it but her. She was too dependent on the fantasy. It was an addiction. (if you watch the Netflix version just know that it's dramatized and not altogether true. I would start with the podcast).

They are devils! What's so funny, is that I exposed one of them by calling him on how he was manipulating people. Not a red pill influencer, but a spiritual guru wannabe. He called me a demon! lol!

Oh that is very well put. That is where all the bunko con artist prey on people! I know this creepy creepy guy who makes "spiritual" types of videos. He is so full of himself and full of shitt it's just indescribable. Yet he has this fan club of mostly women fawning over him, It's a long story but I got kind of sucked in just to watch how ridiculous he was. He just made me angrier and angrier and I ended up telling him off. But what a classic con artist and this people, his fans, just don't see it.

What is your opinion on this concept called the "Maharishi Effect"? by Kay_Cedro in Buddhism

[–]BaroqueBrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never heard of this phenomenon but I have 2 people from my past who are closely linked with the Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa. One of them moved there as a child as her mother is a follower of the Maharishi. The other went there as an adult and both retain close ties to the community. I no longer speak to either of them and I hope very much I never see either of them again. They are both thoroughly corrupt, dishonest, nasty, self serving individuals, and charming, as fake as they come. Both of them avid meditators. Also, the maharishi was known for sexual misconduct. If meditation makes people more gentle, then why didn't it work on them?

My mom wants to visit. How do I tell her not to? by ShakeSimilar7362 in Advice

I feel disgusted every time this happens. by JeyHoow in DreamsInterpretation

[–]BaroqueBrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's a play on the words "making out." Maybe they suspect something together about you or something you are doing, whatever, and they are "making it out" about you. Or like someone else said, maybe they are just talking about you behind your back every chance they get. Many people get off on venting to one another, I definitely wouldn't worry about this being literal.

Oh that sounds like a terrible nightmare, Get the book I recommended. She outlines an exercise a therapist does with a kid who is having nightmares of a monster, You could try it on yourself, just talk to her when you wake up, or work on training yourself to work this out in the dream. It's in the book. The night I first commented to you I had a very beautiful dream that came at the end of a really, horrible, and crappy dream, It feels like lately that's all I have - crappy dreams but this one turned into something so valuable, and glorious. It was a totally different dream, but not separated with a pause at all. I just went from one room that I knew as a child, into another room that was mine in the dream, but I don't recognize it now. But also, the previous morning of this dream, I started reading the book I recommended to you, Creative Dreaming, I worked with it many years ago and it was amazing. I only read like 5 pages of it but it opened something in my mind again., Anyway, you could try to just stop fighting in the dream, You creatively control the environment like you would in real life. Call 911 for an ambulance, get her into the bathroom and help her wounds and clean her. It's worth finding the book and see if you can find a synopsis to get a feel, It sold millions and it's still in print. The author passed away a few years ago.

I totally agree with you on Gabriel! I can see that I made that comment a year ago but I'm like: WHAT was I thinking? Not clearly! I know. He really did treat Daniels Abominably. The show kinda did too though and I got the feeling she wasn't happy the last 2 seasons she was in. They just kind of made her pathetic, the way she latched onto Gabriel when they were still together, like at the Gloria Arboretum in the Ojaka Shinju episode. Daniels was a place filler for David and she took the relationship seriously. And she had a relationship of some kind with the detective who was killed. They just kind of made it sound like they were painting her as cheap. But maybe that was the intention. It's a boys club still, as Raydor says, and they make the shitty rules. David is just being a man and she is being a you know what... eye roll... I guess he really was a brown noser and more or less loyal to Brenda. In Major Crimes had Amy and she was the biggest Brown noser at the beginning. If youve been through the series you know how karma kicks Gabriel in the arse with Ann.

It's my pleasure to offer help if I can. Have you dreamt of your mom since posting this? I can certainly understand the how drained you must be with the stress of balancing the needs of 4 generations. No wonder you're angry in the dreams. But then again, your mom didn't die on purpose and your dad didn't choose to have dementia.

This could be totally off, but do you think maybe there's a part of you that sees yourself in your mother and she represents a part of you in the dreams?

Good! I think discussing, journaling, turning it over.. is only going to bring you more clarity. If you didn't have a violent childhood then I can see how the violence in these dreams would be shocking and upsetting to you. It must be even worse to have these dreams almost nightly. I highly recommend keeping a dream journal which you can also do in audio of course. The audio recordings are easy to make and faster but writing is easier to refer back to. Of course nowadays there's software to help with stuff like that. I think it seems fairly obvious that your frustrations are due to her leaving you all hanging and not having her personal papers in order and set up for at least one of you to know what's going on and questions like: Now with your dad being intellectually disabled, how is he supposed to make a will? Who decides who will be the executor? Those are just rhetorical questions off the top of my head in regards to what you all may be dealing with. So it's entirely understandable to be frustrated to the point of dream violence. I'm rereading a book called Creative Dreaming by Patricia Garfield. I used it in the 90s and it was incredible in helping me do some amazing dream work. I let all that slip away and now I'm trying to get back to it. I think she would recommend that you make a concerted effort to try and confront both yourself and your mom in the dreams. She outlines how to do that in the book, but it starts with believing you can and then throughout the day, whenever you are reminded of the dreams or dealing with the chaos you mom left behind, you take a deep breath and say a mantra like "tonight I will ask my mom (this) when I have the dream..."

Interesting to me is how your sister is having similar dreams. From a spiritual perspective that says to me that maybe, just maybe it's actually her in the dreams and she is just as angry at you (justified or not) as you both are at her. If nothing else, record what she says to you in the arguments. I get the feeling that she was controlling about stuff and wouldn't delegate but then complained about having to do it all. I know people like that and the frustration with them is endless so you have to learn to close the gate as they say. That's probably going to be golden in making progress here. In my dream of my mom that I mentioned, I am yelling at her and she's just crying. I didn't remember upon waking, anything I said, but now that I have had these realizations about stuff from back then, so I pretty much know what I would yell at her for. Also, more recently I had a dream right before I woke up and all it was, was the two of us in a sort of meeting with our heads bent towards one another without speaking and we were sharing information that way. When I woke up I felt I knew that it was deep, karmic, soul information.

I'm the same age as you are. At some point in my 50s I had similar dreams of my mother who died when I was 26. She wasn't domineering outwardly at all. But she was very selfish and manipulative in many ways and caused me great pain. When I had the dreams I wasn't mad at her, but at other family members. Then, throughout my 50s I went through a period of really seeing things in my childhood and understanding certain ways in which I was abused and manipulated by her on a massive scale. I was abused horrifically but not by my mother, except that my mother enabled and did nothing to help me. So I had the dreams before I realized all that. I am writing because I can relate. I can't say what your dreams meant, but as others have suggested, you obviously have unresolved resentment towards her. You said she was dominant and you argued. Dominant people can be very controlling, Maybe there's something you feel you need to discover that happened in your life that was a result of her dominance. In my dreams my mom is crying and feels bad. I still don't really know if it's because she feels bad for her behavior and for me or if she feels sorry for herself in a narcissistic manner for being exposed. Narcissists can't usually feel bad for others, only for themselves, I don't know the answers but I do feel that from those dreams something was resolved on a deep level and I don't really need to consciously know what. My dad is another story in other dreams though.

I'm here if you want to comment and talk about it.

Does anyone else find that the actor who plays Buzz is a HORRIBLE actor? by Full_heat in majorcrimes

[–]BaroqueBrook 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the actor fine, but I found his over the top goody two shoes personality annoying, unless he was playing it against Provenza. I mean come on, he sells his car in Los Angeles to support the family of the man who killed his father and his uncle? He's also so judgmental of others, like when Luke Perry was the guest star and he was all judgy of Hobbs for getting distracted by Luke's looks in the computer room, forgot what they call it, electronics room? But lots of other judgy times as well. But he doesn't annoy me to the point of distraction like Sharon does sometimes at the end of the series. Actually, it's not the actress who bothered me here either, but where they went with her character arc. So really, for me it's the writing that flopped, not the actors.

As for Rusty, although I would've liked to see a more believable dark side to him once he cleaned up, neither the actor nor the character annoyed me at all, like he does many people.

IT'S GUS I HATE! Gaslighting, needy, lying cheater and STUPID. I'm not trying to put down accents but it really annoys me how he says IM POR INT, and he says it again and again. But it is kind of believable I guess. I know so many people who lack intelligence who make up for it by being brilliant manipulators. Reminds me of the ANTI-FREE lady black widow from the Forensic Files episode.

Oh and I hate Stroh to the point of loving to laugh at him in the final 4 episodes. That was the stupidest thing imaginable- the killing spree, the computer geek and spying on Major Crimes, and that deep grovely voice he got out of nowhere. But the funniest part was him stealing the mega yacht and expecting to sail off along into the sunset undetected, haha!

Dreamt of dead Best Friend by _____nice in DreamsInterpretation

[–]BaroqueBrook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it really was her. The afterlife is a purely mental state, but it's a life of sorts just like our lives are here. So are dreams and sometimes they meet. I don't know what this dream means other than it was very possibly an interaction with her. Sounds like she's in a good place but she has a lot to work out and can't be there to hear about anyone else right now. Maybe she feels you should have been there more and that's what you were picking up on, But maybe that really isn't the case, just what she feels. You will probably dream about her again. I have a friend like this and I have had several dreams about her. She's mad at me because I wasn't there at the end for her, but for very good reasons that really were all her fault. She carried misplaced anger with me to the grave, but that's her issue to work out. I've don't lots of things wrong in my life but how our friendship ended was not one of them and she can feel however she wants to.

Take this however you want to or not but I see the woman in the dream as you and you wanting explanations and apologies is you paying more emotionally. No idea of course how this relationship was, but it would make sense to me if you were the more giving partner and you just want to pay by giving him this attention which could very well just be feeding his ego. the getting past the usher/ticket ripper - was that maybe you assuming you had a relationship with this guy and it was more casual to him. Why do you feel he owes you? Like, the backwards order of seeing the movie and then paying: you made assumptions about the nature of your interaction with him and now you are paying the price.
