Emotional healing of the world starts with this message

This message can truly save the world from any danger resulting from faulty interpersonal interactions. Greetings, those who are commonly known as "Autistics". Please do not think I am nuts, keep reading, I promise you it is worth it. My name is Emotional Superman. I am not like Superman from the movie in a sense that I cannot do anything extraordinarily physical that the character did. I am a person, an intelligent creature of flesh and blood. I know that I am just like you. Now I know something that nobody knows, at least for the time being, because I really want others to know what I do by conveying this information to them. You have an ability to do something that those you call "neurotypicals" do not. You are trying to use logic and reason to figure out emotions. The "neurotypicals" are just emoting back and forth. I will explain later what it means. They think you are "strange" for doing what you are doing and this bothers them. That is why they give you this "diagnosis." "Strange" as you must understand, is an emotionally loaded word, it basically means "this person is different from other people I know and it bothers me." A "diagnosis" is also an emotionally loaded word. It means "this person is bothering me so I would like to label him or her so I can treat him or her differently from other human beings." I will tell you that I was trying to figure out why emotions occur just like you do. Not anymore because using my own logic and reason [/b] I JUST DID!! !! !! !! !! !![b]

First, let me define what positive and negative emotions are.

Positive emotion: something that makes you feel as "more" of a human being.
Negative emotion: something that makes you feel as "less" of a human being.

Once I figured it out I eventually realized that being a human being I am neither more nor less than any other human being. No negative emotions can affect me now. I can NEVER be (by no means exhaustive list): criticized, blamed, diagnosed, ignored, isolated, accused, humiliated, fired, labeled, starved, sleep-deprived, jailed etc.

Folks, you have no idea how this information affected me. Once I figured out that I cannot be ignored and isolated (basically the process of human beings bothering me by not being in close proximity to me) I realized that I can be buried alive with no emotional effect on me whatsoever. Of course I don't WANT to be buried alive. This process with destroy me. I will not be alive anymore and that wil prevent me from spreading my information.

However, if the situation is beyond my control I will just lay back and suffocate with a happy smile.

Needless to say, you are just reading the message from the “happiest” guy in the world. In essense that I will always be a full human being no matter who tries to do what to me (or even doesn’t). After reading and understanding this, you are probably thinking: “Wow, that’s messed up!” Tell me about it! I couldn’t help but think about God. After figuring it out I was just increasingly becoming more and more catatonic. I just smiled and laid in my bed with no reason to get out. The fact that I was not bothered by anything bothered me too. Fortunately, my logic and reason was still with me and I figured out “This is wrong. I have to be bothered by something.” And so do you. You have to be bothered by:

1. Lack of food
2. Lack of sleep
3. Physical exhaustion
4. Physical harm etc.

Also, you need to watch the clock. Very important. Flow of time does not emotionally affect me, so unless I am interested, I don’t “care” what time it is. I have just voluntarily chosen to be bothered by those things. I also want to hide my true identity. If it is revealed, does not matter, but I do not want anyone to perceive me as “famous”.

All negative interactions result from negatively emoting back and forth. A negative emotion begets negative emotion. What we call “society” is caught in the cycle of negative emotions. It can be isolating in response to labeling, ignoring in response to criticism, basically a negative emotion in response to a negative emotion. This cycle can be broken once everyone realized he or she is a full complete human being no matter what. I just did. I started it. You can continue it. Emotional Superman.

I have one problem with that way of thinking.

When our dog goes after a squirrel, it inevitably runs to a tree and disappears into the third dimension. It’s magic. The dog looks around and can’t figure it out. While I am fond of the dog, I can see the situation from the squirrel’s point of view and why he doesn’t want to play.

Predators don’t like it when you don’t want to play their game. If you don’t compete, they can’t win. That doesn’t seem fair to them. It makes them mad.

EmotionalSuperman’s solution assumes that all the predators are just dumb dogs and that running to a safe place is possible, which is not always true. Some of the predators are more like cats, in that they can see where you’ve gone and follow. They can pull you out of that safe place so that you are not able to use your own mind.

And some predators don’t have the patience to play around like that. They would prefer to pull down the tree, or better yet, the forest, and put us all in pens, so they can systematically abuse us at will. It makes sense to them, anyway.

They cry for more and more research, more and more “early intervention” so that they can tear down more and more of our safe places and build more and more pens.

The result is a degraded society with no variation in intellectual abilities, no diversity of personality or point of view. We are not allowed to think and develop our own minds to the point where we can defend ourselves.

Evidence: Considering all that’s going wrong in the world lately, where are the modern equivalents of Lennon, Dylan and Country Joe? Can an entire generation of artists be brain-dead? Is the mass media so controlled that we can’t hear them, or have their minds been crushed in infancy?

For me, an Emotional Superperson is someone willing to put up with emotional discomfort or even emotional pain for the sake of becoming their best selves. Eg: when we finished university, most of the students married someone, just so as not to be alone and left out of society. Some married money, others married brains, others married beauty, and the fortunate ones found someone to marry that was what they genuinely wanted in a spouse. Most feigned love or entered "tacit marriage agreements" where they both gave up an important part of their integrity. The frantic aim was: avoid unpleasant emotions and looking deeper into what's causing them. I instead held out, put up with the isolation and loneliness and got to the root of why I felt that way, reframed my expectations of life instead and grew. I didn't compromise my integrity. It felt awful doing it, and I'm a bad feigner.

Emotional Superperson is, to me, someone who does feel the whole range of emotions and does something constructive about them. Sadly, I almost never meet someone like that. It's the most elusive trait in people.

Grentea, I appreciate you reading my message. So far you are relating what I wrote to your own experiences. I would like you to believe me, because what is happening to me is truly unique. Hopefully, many people who read my message believe me and start thinking like that. Folks, if this spreads wide enough, we can eventually end wars, crime and suicides, among other things. Again, you are probably thinking I am "manic" and "full of it" but I did not choose it. I just got it. It could have been someone else, but it is me. With great power comes great responsibility. That is the only reason I am writing it.

Tahitiii, I appreciate you reading my message as well, and I truly do not mean to ignore you. I have tried to read your message about a dog and a squirrel but I honestly don't understand what you are trying to write. However, I know I am right and that is what counts. If you think I can be "criticized", it is not true.

OK, If you want me to make a drastic demonstration of my abilities, I can do it. I can heal any faulty interpersonal relationship. I will get Barack Obama to shake hands with Rush Limbaugh. As good friends, no less. All I need is alone time with each of them individually. Hopefully somebody who reads this can provide a way for me to do it. If you do, send me an email at emotionalsuperman at yahoo dot com. Of course, I have my own life, so it will take time. Also I will need to reveal my identity. I don't care. I can meet each "enemy" and make them friends. I am in America, so Obama and Limbaugh may be a good demonstration.

I will watch the Limbaugh/Obama exchange with interest.

Sorry, that wasn't mean as criticism.
It's just that not everyone can pull himself up to that emotional level. It takes more intelligence than most people have and more emotional strength than most people have.

And even if they could, not everyone wants peace. I spend so much time trying to figure out how to bridge gaps and communicate and resolve issues rationally. And then I remember that the stated issue in any exchange is almost never the real issue. Most people just love conflict for its own sake, not because they have a real argument. Solve one problem and they'll create a new one.

There are two ways of thinking that help me. One is to consider that every human emotion is in it's essence either Love or Fear. If you hate someone, ask yourself why. Then ask yourself why to that answer. Eventually the real truth will come out and more often than not it's fear. The other is if you make a distinction between the spirit and the ego, ask whether what you are about to say or do nourishes the spirit or feeds the ego. Sometimes this is harder than others.

I've been taking a new focus to life, similar to yours, emotionalsuperman. Just to make things clear, I am Neurotypical for the most part (besides my anxiety disorder). With that, it really takes will power to keep my exaggerated fears from effecting how I really look at life. I look at every fear and emotion, good and bad, as a means for an inner adventure. I don't look at fears and "negative" emotions as if they were things that could wreck me inwards and break my spine. I look at them as things that will build my courage, and keep my spine in check. I alone rule how I approach life and how I do in life.

What I am puzzled by, is when you say society is in a cycle of negative emotions. This assumes that emotion is a bad thing that can wreck society, even though emitting emotion is human nature. I don't think that society is in a cycle of negative emotions, I think society as a whole don't know how to win over their own emotions.

Also, many may be puzzled by the fact that you are taking on a "higher than thou" attitude in your post, in telling people that they should think like you. Let it be known that not everyone will be able to think like you. You mean well, and I can see that. But the route to happiness isn't the same for everyone, because everyone lives as different beings with different experiences and different interpretations of things. They key to happiness is finding a way to find peace in your experiences of life, and to make your interpretations towards life itself in positive light.

I hope I'm coming clear with my post. It may be that we are both saying the same thing, just in different ways. Haha.

I felt like that one time in hospital after the nurse introduced morphine to my IV line.


I have strong doubts about this. I do not feel less of a human being when experiencing negative emotions. My cats, my rodent, my former canine friends, they all have emotions, but for the life of me I cannot see why they would feel human to any degree.

Man, I want some of what this guy is smoking!

I havent laughed so much since quatermasses last post but this is much funnier i think i laughed 8 or 9 times. Brilliant. Emotional superman has cracked it and broken through the barrier. He must have entailed a lot of pain in the process.

ok i'm listening your insight and premise. with ya so far
that's cool; it seems this is the essence of your point and i think it's here that i start to get bogged down
this is where I get a little lost because you can never feel a negative emotion, never feel less than human.
but this is baffling. how do you pull this off? it seems you're making some kind of connection that remains a disconnect for me. can you explain that connection? how you get such joy from knowing nothing can make you less human than you are? maybe this is problematic because i don't particularly enjoy being human. so the fact that nothing can take my humanity from me is a bit disconcerting and not entirely comforting.your joy is very nearly contagious and it's wonderful you feel that way. i wish i could catch onto whatever you've got hold of.
hmm
maybe sometimes it's important to pay attention to the clock but i mostly prefer not to. ok you are some famous dude that we may have heard of. this seems to be true
i think i get your logic and it still doesn't make sense.
but you have a great idea and i do want to understand it.
will you please try again to explain what you mean?

when i'm feeling a negative emotion, i tell myself it's not as bad as it seems.
when i'm feeling a positive emotion, i tell myself it's not as good as it seems.
that way i kind of stay even keel. emotionally stable.

not that i can really do emotionally stable, but trying to stay neutral helps.

EmotionalSuperman healed me for an hour, he cheered me right up after the good laugh i had.
