although I have a hunch I borrowed some of it from my therapist.

Essentially, it involves using a set of specific definitions which interrelate in the same manner as a categorical-deductive typology. The end-result is the ability to differentiate multiple categories of personality and corresponding accurate prospective advice, based on only four category questions.

Another similar technique that I call psychic prediction involves an assessment of personal significance based on reference and negation.

Dimensional Psychologist's Toolkit Approaching Completion

I had about 40 pages in January, and now I have the equivalent of over 180, or about 370 printed pages.

So far I have neglected to include Adler and a number of other psychologists and researchers, but I have succeeded to find a psychic technique and a method of psychological deduction, which are well described in my text.

For those interested, The Dimensional Psychologist's Toolkit, subtitled the So-Called Serious Joke Book: The Dimensional Encyclopedia, Second Volume, will be available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble early next year, from Amazon Publishing.

I've made some progress

on a book about time-travel.

Here is a sample from the list of methods which is part of the book:

" *Time travel by memory and location

This includes the following sub-methods:
1. Identify a location with more than one time;
2. Travel to the current time;
3. Identify the location with travel;
4. Travel to the other time;"

Tentatively the title will be the Dimensional Time-Travel Toolkit. But, if so, it may not be released for 17 years, as I have other projects also in line, and I have to synch it with the appropriate four-book part of the encyclopedia.

Here is the list of encyclopedias as I plan to publish them (Some of them may actually end up being published sooner, depending on how many secondary projects I have to publish):

Dimensional Philosopher's Toolkit (published)
Dimensional Psychologist's Toolkit (next year 2014, currently 200 pages)
Dimensional Biologist's Toolkit (2015, currently 60 pages)
Dimensional Phenomenologist's Toolkit (2016, currently over 20 pages)

Dimensional Aesthetics Toolkit (2017, love-hate relationship)
Dimensional Critic's Toolkit (2018, currently over 50 pages)
Dimensional Paralogy Toolkit (2019)
Dimensional Cosmologist's / Universalist's Toolkit (2020)

Dimensional History Toolkit (2022)
Dimensional Politics Toolkit (2023)
Dimensional Economics Toolkit (2024)

Dimensional Physics Toolkit (2025)
Dimensional Poetics Toolkit (2026)

Update on further editions: Metalogy and Etymology are out, Defense and Time-Travel are in. Plans are mostly in order for a Subjectivity, Anthropology, Spell-Casting / Wizards, and Trickery Toolkits.

Therapy Headache

Some of the most infuriating experiences with therapy seem to involve nothing at all. While the therapist will claim that there is 'inner turmoil' / 'a complex interaction of unconscious forces' and other language bites, the client or patient in a therapy session may feel that the therapist is making much of nothing. He or she may even feel that the therapist is going out of the way to create trouble.

Such was the case in one therapy apppointment I attended years ago. The therapist had a mind to try Carl Roger's famous passive approach to therapy, in which the client is encouraged to change and grow with minimal actual influence.

I will report on the dialogue that transpired:

Therapist: "This time, I'm going to try an experiment. In this therapy appointment, I'm going to do absolutely nothing. I'm just going to listen"

Me: "Well, I don't know what to say"

Therapist: "Is something wrong?"

Me: "I just get a kind of terrible hollow feeling. I don't think that it works"

Therapist: "Well, does that mean that you feel like nothing inside?"

Me: [smiling]

Therapist: "Hey, you tricked me"

Me: "I really don't think that it works. If you insist on it, we'll just end the appointment"

Therapist: "Very well, I have no choice"

I was disappointed, like I had swallowed one big zero. In retrospect, it seemed valuable only because the therapist had insisted that it was significant. But since even that seemed debatable, I continue to look back on it as a negative experience. But if nothing else, I did become interested in psychology.

Looking back, it does seem like Carl Roger's therapy supports big hollow feelings, and that isn't what I should have to contend with. What would it do for depression? What would it do for people that don't get a natural high for that matter? His approach seems to assume that the client is happy, or that anything can be solved by just going back to loose ends. On the other hand, it does loosen authority, and as many people know, authority has been cited as one of the problems with capitalism. But should I become a socialist just because I received a certain type of therapy? This has both positive and negative influences. If nothing else, it is an honest approach which asks the client/patient to deal with exactly what his or her issues are, independent of any kind of judgment. Which seems okay, as an idea, but may fail when the specific emotions of inadequacy are involved. Perhaps the only problem was that I didn't feel the empathy that the original guru tried to offer.

I get the feeling that therapists are doing some very basic calculations, and the result is sometimes supportive in the context of authority / lack of authority, and much of everything in therapy comes down to the difficulty of putting it into practice. How overbearing! Or how mistaken! (As Freud might say) yet how 'uncontentious', how 'inspiring'---!

Much seems to cook down to the fulfillment of needs, when many patients really have very little genuine fulfillment. How to synthesize? How to dispute? Hidden facts bear down on us like angry trolls.

I can discover what I want, but it is much more difficult to discover what I need to do to feel better. Drugs are still treated as a karma-band bargain, an awful sacrifice, in which all is lost if there is not equilibrium.
