What is Symbolic ? What is Real?

I feel a churning, I am infected with something.
Modern medicine is doing its best to cure me.
How would you meditate to heal yourself?
Is it all just symbols or is any of it real?

What is Love?

What is love?
When you say 'I love you' what do you really mean?
Do you mean I am needy I am in need of you don't leave me?
Do you mean I have a nice warm fuzzy feeling when I am close to you?
Do you mean I rely completely and totally on you, without you I am capable of nothing?
Do you mean you like my cock in you ?
Do you mean you want something from me?
Do you mean that despite my faults and failings you accept me and you will do the utmost within your power, while all the time never loosing site of yourself, to help me grow and be a better a person. That you will always respect both of us and do your best never to abuse us? Do you? Then I love you to!
What is it when we say 'I love you' ?

What is Terrible?

I am prompted by a comment I saw on a friends site. What is truly terrible? I am questioning our perceptions here. Our way of looking at what befalls us in life. Perhaps bestowed upon is a better phrase. I am also prompted by the notion of Dhunie Dé(people of God). To the best of my knowledge in the Gaelic language these are people who have Down's Syndrome.
Someone dying is terrible. Someone being crippled is terrible. Having a leg blown off in battle is terrible. Loosing a child, being raped or abused, ripped off, all of these are terrible. Many experiences we have in life are deemed awful, terrible, horrific etc;. But I wonder do we somehow reinforce the awfulness with our reaction or perception of the event?
I am not diminishing the event or gravity of it but rather questioning our perception. If we can change how we view these challenges bestowed upon us, rather than these awful things that befall us, would not the world and how we do our business in it be a different and better place?

Communicating

No one says anything but I feel completely pulled by them in opposite directions. How is this? How am I completely exhausted just by being in the same space as others?
Do you really think there in communication with the spirit world?

Undergoing Change

I have had some weird body experiences. Last night I woke up. There was a storm. I told myself it's 4 am. My finger tips tingled as the thunder rolled and bashed across the sky. My skin felt like it was peeling off and my chakras where hot, spewing energy into the atmosphere. Finally it all died down. I looked at the clock. It was 3:55am
