so many people post on here about a certain girl/boy as if there the only one in the world....and so many respond "there are plenty more fish in the sea"
why do people suffer such tunnel vision - and focus on one person soo much? How can you get out of this trap?
Answer :
Sometimes its just that the person has had a great impact on your life and you just cant let go. Other times they are just stupid and needy and it happens with ever girl or guy they meet and make it seem like they're the one. But i know if my husband and I eneded our relationship I would be #1 in tunnel vision. Depends on the person and circumstances.
Answer :
Because they are desperate and are dependent on someone to fulfill whatever they are lacking in themselves -- being "codependent" on someone to make them happy. They are disfunctional when it comes to relationships.
Answer :
I don't necessarily see this as a trap.
I mean, people are still trying to get to know themselves, seeing what they truely want and don't want. That would be hard to do if we didn't focus on one person at a time.
Just like with our senses...how would we learn, be able to understand, or take in what's around us if our ears didn't focus on certain sounds or eyes didn't focus on what we were concentrating on. It'd be too much input, things wouldn't make sense. In this way, we are prone to focus on what we have, or hurt from focusing on what we just recently lost.
Answer :
obviously you have never seen anyone who you love or really fancy yet
you dont need an answer for your so called tunnel vision as far as im concerend you have 'tunnel vision ' on the world around you if you think this is a bad thing
Answer :
Most people that have that "Tunnel Vision" are with their first love.. and they want to make it work and want to be in that relationship with them for the rest of their lives because they like to think that they are the lucky one that found the right person the first time around.
The only way to get out of that trap is to either overcome your feeling and just know that there is more than just this...
The only other way out is to experience it first hand like so many of us do.

Sponsoring a child over seas?
ok, i am looking into sponsoring as you might have guessed. and i need to find an effective and responsible organization to go through. i know that with the popular ones like world vision, that more of the profits go to advertising then anything else, because they do so much of it. have you sponsored? tell me your story and who you go through. thanks.
Answer :
i sponsored a child through world vision. woudl recommend them. these organisations need to spend money on advertising and administration to be able to help the kids. if you don't want to go through a big organisation why not focus a bit more locally. go and see if there are any kids in your neighbourhood who meed a role model, money for school books, etc.
Answer :
I don't think that the money actually goes to the kids just the missionaries that are already there. I might be wrong.

Can you picture a walk in a bluebell wood from reading this poem - answer yes or no please?
Endymion (Bluebell)
Of all the flowers growing wild
Steadfast and constant year by year
Loved through time by many a child
Each May the faithful bells appear
Tenacious on shaded woodland floor
The bells lift up their heads on cue
As if to hail the spring once more
A carpet breaks of richest blue
A sweetness tarries in the air
Resplendent sight for weary eye
Don't pluck them cosy from their beds
Once picked the blooms will wilt and die
Endymion, so loved by Keats,
Much adored and admired that he
Named the hero of his romance
From visions of a bluebell sea
Answer :
Yes! "And so I groan as one by beauty slain..." You have laid bare the wonderful connection between the star-crossed romance of Endymion, the shepherd youth of fable, and Selene (Cynthia), making of the bluebell sea an arm of the larger mythological cycle that Keats wrote so beautifully about in his epic poem of heroic couplets. You are fascinated by the moon as a source of inspiration (remembering an earlier poem you posted) as am I, and now you mention Keats. You fill up my heart with goodness... I adore Keats! Phoenix-like, you have risen from the ashes of your disillusionment. Beautiful poem.

Need help remembering a movie title from the 80's?
Its a love story involving a girl and boy who get married and then she has visions or dreams of sea turtles sometimes its a stuffed animal sometimes she sees it on the beach. She also swings like a figurine naked with her hair covering her breasts. I think she may have come from the sea but she loves this man and chooses to be on land but I don't remember the details. It's sort of a mystery. The movie doesn't start at the beginning but toward the end with the man running across a watery field as fast as he can to get to her or something. The girl has long black curly hair.
Answer :
"The Bermuda Depths" (1978)?
This movie was initially shown as an ABC "Movie of the Week", a few years before the cable and video rentals era. Thus, it was a one-shot type of situation as far as being seen and a whole generation of young children watched this film and remembered it from that one showing.
Here's the plot: Traumatized, orphaned college dropout Magnus Dens returns to Bermuda to find the cause of his father's mysterious death years before. At the Bermuda Biological Station, he finds Eric and Dr. Paulis, friends and colleagues of his late father, and joins them on a quest for gigantic sea creatures. He also meets Jennie Haniver (black-haired Connie Sellecca), a mysterious young woman who was once his only childhood friend. Paulis' housekeeper, an island local, warns Magnus that Jennie is dangerous. The beautiful but vain young woman had made a pact with the Devil centuries before and lives forever young deep in the waters of the Devil's Triangle (a.k.a. Bermuda Triangle). Nobody heeds the folklore and the researchers trap the giant sea turtle, setting the stage for a deadly confrontation with both minions of the Devil.
Answer :
The only possible movies I can even think of that might be the movie you are looking for are Splash and A Fish Called Wanda. Both were in the 80's.....I think that chances are...it's one of theese two movies you are looking for.
Answer :
I think you are talking about Splash with Darryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. It's about a man who falls in love with a mermaid.

How does one differentiate or tell the difference between a vision and a dream?
Last night I was meditating with my eyes closed and thinking about the blessings of the Lord.I found myself in place X travelling along a road. After a while the depth and perspective (art term) of looking ahead at the distance made the road look like a tunnel; but in reality it was still a road. I found myself at placeY which was like a cliff jutting over the sea(promontory?) and the water was calm with different hues of blue.Three names- Edith, Pearl and Sharon- were given.I saw no houses but was told the locale was quaint.I was involved in a debate as to whether locale X was on a higher elevation than locale Z.Either Z or X is the capital.I have to research it. I saw surf or clear water with foam on the road but it was not deep- just like a splash and the sea rolling in..Locale X and Z really exist but I have never visited that area.Was I imagining all of this or is God saying something to me?How would I know for sure? I pray daily- two or more times,meditate and read my Bible..
Answer :
it is this simple, if the message you received instructs you to be kinder and more loving to every person and animal that you meet it comes from god, if not.... it is only a dream.
as for interpreting, whether a dream or a vision it will be made clear when the time is right, study pray and meditate, but remember that sometimes a dream is just a dream, it is in the real world that we are meant to make a difference.
Answer :
In a vision you breathing is not detectable.
Always compare your thoughts with the bible.
Answer :
Dream's happen in your Soul (second mind).
Vision's happen in you (a Spiritman---first mind).
It's tricky.
There have been People allowed to visit HEAVEN, and they didn't know if they (Spiritmen) were in their Body's (Physical, Flesh) or not.
It's tricky. Ask the FATHER in JESUS's Name to show you what it meant, or if it was even from HIM.
Answer :
There is no difference. Be careful of your brain. It loves sensory hijinx. The brain craves sensory input at all times. Decrease the amount of sensory input it needs (as with your meditation), and it will make up the difference on it's own. Call it a hallucination if you want. I call it dreams. If the area of the brain that is responsible for spiritual experience is stimulated while this dream occurs, some call it a vision.
