  1. Whoever has asked a session with Father Amorth, and been granted one, is extrêmely lucky.


    Just found out that due to popularity, they moved the 2hours video from youtube to their own server!

  2. Just a reminder :

    " ...
    when trading, do you feel like "possessed"? or as if "someone else is suddenly trading instead of you"?
    Or do you prefer the euphemist and less dramatic statements that
    "sometimes when trading, it is your subconscious who starts to trade?".

  3. Ok for better formulation:

    When you lose your discipline when trading, do you feel like it was 'another person' trading?

    The advantage of looking to different ways people look at things :
    different ways to focus on the problem. Just take the above as just another way of looking
    to what is behind "discipline issues when trading". Use it or do not use it, I do not have discipline issues.

    Now, I am back to my idolatry study as relatec to trading.

  4. Interesting : people are happy to receive for free, very good help.
    But when asked in exchange to contribute to helping others, come up with many escuses.
    Then have the gut to insult right left and center.
    May be it is time to get the dizaines of people helped to post on ET?
    Learning a lot.

  5. :):):):):)
    I understand better this person who always said to check the person very well before
    offering any "health help", as one said : do you know if God is actually dealing
    with this person via health's problems?
    Now I understand the meaning.

    Peace.

  6. As "I am better than that", let me :
    inspite of the person fuming and insulting when asked in exchange to pay for the transport ( not even the food and lodging, and other stuff that goes with such a trip) for some disadvantaged young people to do a www.dhamma.org session ( they live far from the center), in exchange for my providing for free
    some health point of views - that I acquired from very kind "uneducated" locals - let me still put here some tips.
    From then on, I will refuse to provide any tips on how they can help their
    own health ( apparently they can afford the best medical practitioners in the world, more than Steve Jobs who with all his billions could not cure his own cancer).

    * change the one about black pepper , to :
    - find a plant ( there is a earth I had in mind, but will keep the name for myself), that you are not allergic to, and helps inflammations.
    - create a paste ( I am keeping to myself the carriers that will enhance the stuff)
    - rub this paste on all skin surface ( including head scalp and face)
    - wrap and keep for 1hr+ each day
    - number of sessions ( first 2 months: 5 sessions a day)
    after 3 months decrease to 2 a day.

    So that is my conscious cleared. And I indeed need all
    God's grace I can for my trading!

    Additional advice: get - whoever is blocking health help for yourself -
    into a www.dhamma.org session.

  7. Let's keep working on my own psychology :
    continueing for these 3 months the study of idolatry.
    And how the psychology behind it shows up in my trading

  8. :):):) It is clear that these Law Court cases are becoming "social events". lol.
    Some are even turning up with up to 4 or 5 body guards.Yesterday case :
    around 15 private body guards.

    ( at 00:10-00:12 some feet kicking )

    May be everybody was expecting that matters
    would come into some "fist-fight" , as the main accused body gesture
    (quenelle) was "fist" related in some interprestations.
    All was about context. Even the Magistrate had to reflect on context! LOL
    The room exploded in laughter when some co-coplaignants asked for
    1Euro, 1Fr CFA as symbolic reparation.
    The "quenelle" creator for sexualizing the meaning of his gesture creation.!!!
    The other one because orphans from resistance fighters during the second
    war never received any compensations!!!

    And to top it all, the public broke out into wild applauses - at the
    end of the "accused" finishing speech. To which the angry magistrate
    booted out the loudest cheerer.

    It was actually good that people who only know "vengeance, impunity"
    had the chance to understand that "discussing" is always the best
    first option, as they learned about context!!!!!



    I can't wait for my book number 1 finished: so much excitements
    about book writers nowdays, that "the rising tide will lift all writers' boats".

    Topstep Trader : I am really impressed by all the "infrastructure" they offer.
    It is as if they are removing any material barrier to success. Strangely, I have as not yet
    not taken any trade. It would be strange if I was developing a fear to taking a trade!

  9. I am actually on the continuous Combine : very good decision, as I do not have any time pressure.
    However, I am feeling a real block to take a trade. I prepare, I watch, the price approaches
    my well planned entry price, and , I simply can not take the trade.
    It is as if , it is as if I do not feel prepared at all.
    What always comes in my mind is :

    -" what if the trade takes long to become profitable?" will it increase my average time in losing state ( one criteria of the combine)

    - "what if the trade takes long and becomes unprofitable?" : will it increase my average time in losing state?

    This is becoming a real problem: I am actually freezing each time I have to take a trade! lol!

    I am glad I am refining this book: at least this I can do easily without "freezing".

  10. :wtf:ops::wtf:ops::wtf:ops: I have not been posting much here....

    I will do , as soon as I can free enough time from TopStepTrader, as
    well as the book, as well as the articles and videos for some media news -
    really interesting that one set of journalists pick up my trading thread
    and want to turn it into something for TV.
    Just shows : God works in mysterious ways. Being paid for what I did here for free! LOL

    Back soon. Take care. :):):)
