Agnes 2/10/2011 7:00:29 PM Waw! What an incredible video \"A vision of enlightenment\". Up until now, I thought I was crazy for thinking exactly like you described in the video. I am (partial) survivor of childhood abuse, and after my children were born, I have realized why I have so many limitations. I believe that most of the worldâ??s population (or at least North America) is still in their infant minds, unaware, completely selfish, and destructive by no other fault than the way they were brought up, and this goes back to how their parents were raised and how their parents parents were raised and so on. Daniel, you are absolutely right when you say that if everyone would just dealt with their issues, there would be no need for such tragedy. We are all so â??attachedâ? to one another, in the wrong way, meaning one drowns the other because there are not fulfilled (fully loved), and were we are lacking or not trusting ourselves, we as adults get angry (like the child kicks and screams when they have a tantrum), and start blaming others for our troubles rather than fixing our own limitations. I can go on and on, but I just want to say that you are doing a wonderful job spreading this word. You will have much resistance in your journey from others, if you have not already experienced it, but donâ??t give up. I will not give up either. I am frustrated and discussed by how our world is running but I guess that is where I still have a lot of my own fixing to do to be truly fulfilled by the parent in me, but once I get there, that anger, frustration will be replaced with complete understanding, and that is only when I can truly give to the world without drowning others. Thank you so very much for the video, it will reach people! Beth 2/7/2011 3:55:39 AM Nick, I absolutely loved finding your articles on truth. I connected with so much of what you included, especially in the suicide and high functioning writings. I am presently feeling so alone in my beliefs (truth) and have lost many very dear friends because the truths i speak of frighten them. They prefer to continue to live in denial. I stand in my own truth but it is becoming increasingly lonely as i heal. I, too, suffered childhood trauma - sexual abuse- and have been working on my healing for 12 years. Thank-you so much for your refreshingly honest writings. I wish i could share this site with someone - but i\'ve successfully scared them away........ Adelaida 1/31/2011 5:04:28 PM Hei Daniel, do I have your permission to translate in Romanian and post to my Facebook profile your \'15 debunked lies\' ? Of course, with the appropriate references? many thanks, & peace, Adelaida Tina 1/31/2011 3:48:05 PM It took me many years to come to terms with my parents\' indifference to me. The emotional scars stay with you. How I forgave them is by trying to understand that they had been conditioned by the culture they grew up in - authorities always know best, they\'re older so they\'re wiser - ha ha! What I find most difficult to bear is people who let their children cry and cry. The child\'s misery is real, do something!! What do you think? joe kelly 1/15/2011 12:33:09 PM Dear Danial I recieved my copy of \'Take these Broken Wings\' by post a few days ago. Many Thank I shall be showing it to friends and associates. I think it\'s a teriffic movie Marsha 1/14/2011 8:30:30 PM Pages 8 and 18 {the entries from Scarley and the two Peter(s)} say what I agree with. Some of your reasons against schizophrenia being caused by mothers were so bogus and sounded like you were making a complete joke of it all. Perhaps they didn\'t go as far to view the movie, like myself, so therefore wouldn\'t\'ve known that you actually support the theory that bad parenting can and does cause mental illnesses. And you acted like they must\'ve been confused or something. No, it was YOU that failed to explain. I thought about mentioning Sybil Dorsett, as I first read your (was it?) 32 reasons, however, when I went to your guestbook, I figured you out. You just like confusing people. Sitaboona 1/13/2011 12:03:48 PM interesting article. It is for this to you many thanks! Linda Greene 1/8/2011 5:29:53 PM I just stumbled upon your website and I feel so pleased to have found a kindred soul on the journey of self enlightenment. Please keep up the good work...you are changing the world! Ana Reis 1/5/2011 12:13:44 PM Dear Irare: As well as you (so I understand) I have a huge respect for Alice Miller. It was the reading of hers books that opened me the possibility to start felling again. I got so used to endure pain and emptiness that I maintained myself in a robot not so good functional way of living. Unfortunately, as well as many people I started analyses whit a therapist who also never had their parents idealization sorted out. I was encouraged to try and see love out of my upbringing when I only could see selfishness and neglect. I also begin to realize that although the process of speaking about my feeling was helping me get in touch with my inner child, I was not receiving the empathy towards my truth. I m righting you to say that knowing that people like you are out there, makes me fell that is possible to continue my process towards self knowledge and self healing. On the contrary of most people Iâ??m not here to forgive anyone. I was hard enough for me to realize that indignation, ager and hurt were appropriate answers to my history and feelings. It was precisely the forcing towards forgiving that made me very very hill. I m just happy to hear you say that itâ??s ok to get away from our family, that itâ??s ok to be alone, that sex is just one of the multiples forms of getting some feeding. Sometimes I wander what was it like to new someone without the projections and traumas we carry. I donâ??t even think that we see ourselves or know ourselves, so how can we become partners, parents and adults? We are addicted to people and things that we think can (in a very twisted and poorly way) meet the needs we carry since childhood. Your existence gives me hope. I donâ??t want anything more than to know that Iâ??m not alone. Thank you. Ana Reis henrik 1/1/2011 2:50:00 PM Came across a mentioning of your name today, and was tempted to see more. What I have seen so far agree with my own mind. Your thougths on an overpopulated globe, especially so. But should the anglosaxons refrain from propagation while the asians and africans spawn offspring en masse? I am airing a thougth here, not asking for an answer (but anticipating to see one when it has ripened.) greg 1/1/2011 6:35:14 AM Will be interesting to see how you feel about all of this in the years to come! I believe you have a good deal of growing up to do. You sound very immature and overly idealistic. You must temper some of your idealism with a good dose of realism. We are no longer in the Garden of Eden. This is the real world and necessity demands its due!! You seem like a very sweet young man. Good Luck... joe kelly 12/28/2010 8:42:00 PM hi daniel i like your talk with will hall on madness radio. i am active in mh affairs in london uk. i think your work is really excellent. let me know if you are visiting london. cheers joe kelly Barbara Rogers 12/27/2010 10:25:10 PM Hi, Daniel, yesterday, I watched your fascinating documentary \"Take These Broken Wings,\" and I was very moved by it. The interviews provide invaluable information. The truth and the personalities of courageous people shine through them and make your documentary unique and powerful. Thank you for your great effort and this wonderful work of art and truth-telling. Sincerely, Barbara Rogers www.screamsfromchildhood.com December 27, 2010 anna lacroix 12/22/2010 1:24:33 AM do you speak to your parents now Charli 12/18/2010 7:40:50 PM Forgiving my abuser has been an essential step in my recovery. Holding all of that hate and anger toward him was toxic. I fear that you are erroneously confusing forgiving an abuser with pardoning them. He will be judged and punished appropriately. My forgiving him in no way makes his responsibility for hurting me less. It only frees me and allows healing within my soul. charli 12/18/2010 7:31:01 PM As a child I was abused. The worst abuse was definatly perpetrated by my brother. He molested me for over ten years. My mother still swears she had no idea but all of the signs were there. They used shame as a tool to keep us in line. When shame didn\'t work they used violence. If violence didn\'t work they would deny us their love. They sheltered, clothed and fed us but every child they \"parented\" is completely messed up as an adult. Out of all of my siblings I am by far the healthiest. It has taken years of therapy and hard work. I still see a therapist and know I have a ton of work to do, probably for the rest of my life! I was twenty when my daughter was born. I was definately emotionally immature and I did want a baby to finally know unconditional love. Your theory that because of my own immature emotional state, selfish desire to be loved therefore brought my child into an abusive environment is way off base! Because of my daughter I got help. I protected her like a mother bear! I married a wonderful man and we had two boys. We raise our children with love, structure, boundaries and faith in Christ. My children are my motivation to live a healthy life. Dealing with the issues that incest causes takes a determination I wouldn\'t have if it weren\'t for my children! They make me want to do better, be better, get better and stay better! That healing wouldn\'t have begun without my selfish desire to know unconditional love. I am in no way a perfect parent but I must ask you sir, are you? Do you strive daily to be a better person for your children? In your assumptions you leave little room for any exception to your rules. Being a parent is the most wonderous experience and luckily it started from a selfish desire to know love. Dr Charles Parker 12/16/2010 10:39:11 AM The healing comes from those who understand - and leave no stones unturned. Healing does not come from, as some think, simply identifying the problem label and throwing meds at it. Stuck in the past, stuck anywhere, interestingly enough, can, and often does have biologically active roots that perpetuate the challenge of living every day - and the new brain science does offer a variety of practical solutions for those interested. cp
