Before I get the myriad of comments calling me out, yes I'm aware sleep is a foundational, pertinent piece of our lives and it's important to have enough sleep to optimize human functions.
But hear me out: I can't be the only one whom has work pile up quickly. It seems with school, at work, they have some skewed expectations of how much work anyone can realistically complete in any week. Oh well, I have tons of work to complete is the main point here.
A habit I've been reinforcing lately is blocking an entire day to complete schoolwork & research work. Yes, an entire day. I come from poor habits; I would tout my horn for being the greatest procrastinator in history, successfully completing assignments minutes before it was due in high school. The quality was so awful looking back, but hey I completed it. In reality, I struggled (still struggle) to successfully strike balance combining work and a social life in one day. It feels like I can only do either or without sacrificing quality.
No more! I know looming deadlines were my trigger to complete work, as I couldn't find urgency to do anything if I wasn't pressured. Now I'm attempting the opposite. Rather than saving all my work until the end of a deadline, I'm saving my work for the beginning of a deadline. At least that's the working theory.
The few times I've been trying this recently, it has subtly improved quality of life. I'm learning the material above all. I'm completing most -- if not all -- my work for the week in one go, I'm not emotionally chained to anxious sensations of leaving work until the end when out with friends, I can spend more time with friends, and if I do this time block on Monday, that'll still leave 4-6 days to revise, iterate, expand on some work without it being procrastinated-motivated.
The sensation of "spending an entire day put at my lab office or at our great (24/7) library at school without any temptations, distractions, just me and my work to learn and complete" seems to elicit an analogous urgency I feel when completing work before the deadlines. If I'm dedicating an entire day, it feels "significant" enough to complete is the closest thing I can think of.
The only hurdle to jump over left is a reasonable one anyone whom stays awake all day would expect: sleep and declining cognitive performance after a while. Caffeine is the first product I went with to keep myself up. I have some 200mg packets I throw into a water bottle, the first one definitely helps and I notice a spike in concentration.
What I've observed in this quasi-experiment is I begin any work requiring memorization, creative methodology, critical thinking first, since I know lack of sleep later into the day will hinder these. Any "busy work" without a signifcant need to memorize or think critically I leave last. If I wake up with 7-8 hours of sleep headed to the work, I can last around 18 hours without feeling exhausted.
Around the 18 hour mark, I will notice my mind begins to taper off and I'll seriously feel tired, but not enough to fall sleep. After the 22 hour mark, I'll struggle to stay awake, and have taken 3-4 hour naps unintentionally. It doesn't seem caffeine works after the 18 hour mark. I've taken a 200mg packet and fell asleep within the hour (this could be due to my adhd, but I'm not too aware of the Psychobiology nuances behind it).
Caffeine is a dud after a extended day. I would love to have a 24-36 hour block of time to dedicate solely for work. Thus, finding a product that can stimulate my mind-body to at least stay strong enough to complete busy work if it cannot think critically would be my golden goose. If I can perfect this theory, I can seriously see my grades improve drastically, and still have time to attend parties and watch games on the weekend when the weekends have historically been for catching up on work and stressing. I know this is far from healthy. I promise to reward myself every time with a 9-10 hour naps right after successfully completing a day's worth of work.

UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.
THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES
Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAPs. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.
After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.
Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the “shamen” and “sha-women” that knew how to most successfully hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver the babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”
LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS
For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.
Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE
Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.
In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”
In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.
This analysis of the social mechanisms of the “UFO Truth Embargo” is not a conspiracy theory. I merely describe the way power works. In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.
RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN
On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to a profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms. People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or interdimensional explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.
UFO INTELLIGENCE HAS A TIGER BY THE TAIL.
What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I highly recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup.
So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.
RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure that has been going on.
“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”
Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.
In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I highly recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup.
So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.
RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure that has been going on.
“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”
Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.
In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT UFOs ARE IMPORTANT?
Joseph Burkes MD 2014, reedited 2023
UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.
THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES
Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAPs. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.
After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.
Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the “shamen” and “sha-women” that knew how to most successfully hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver the babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”
LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS
For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.
Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE
Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.
In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”
In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.
This analysis of the social mechanisms of the “UFO Truth Embargo” is not a conspiracy theory. I merely describe the way power works. In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.
RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN
On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to a profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms. People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or interdimensional explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.

What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I highly recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup.
So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.
RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure that has been going on.
“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”
Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.
In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

This blog is a detailed analysis of the reasons for 75 years of denial of the reality of UFOs. Flying Saucers threaten our planet's elites, but not the Earth's people.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT UFOs ARE IMPORTANT?
Joseph Burkes MD 2014, reedited 2023
UFO historian Richard Dolan has described the initial reaction of many people to his passionate involvement with the subject. They express interest, might even describe something they saw on TV concerning the phenomenon, and then after a few minutes of his well-informed explanations, their eyes gloss over and they are clearly bored.
THE ROLE OF AUTHORITY FIGURES
Yes, it’s true; opinion polls indicate the public is interested in UFOs, now officially called UAPs. Advertising executives have long known this, but the fascination is for most part quite superficial. Why is this? I suspect that it is because prior to the winter of 2017 most authority figures have essentially said that there’s nothing to it.
After all, the world is terribly complex. Thus, we rely on authorities to use vast amounts of data to make what we hope are reasonable decisions. Most people have little understanding of the technological “miracles” that science has achieved, but they are grateful and trust the devices, like planes, autos and computers to work reliably.
Needing to trust leaders, I suspect, might be built into our psychobiology. For a million years before civilization was established, hunter-gatherers worked in small groups to survive. Shamans that could use primitive psi abilities combined with careful observations of nature played important roles. Leadership was a question of life and death. Those clans that had the best leaders, the “shamen” and “sha-women” that knew how to most successfully hunt animals, find healing herbs and deliver the babies, played critical roles in survival. Thus, most of us have a strong tendency to “follow the leader” and when this becomes extreme, “We the People” run the risk of becoming, “We the sheeple.”
LINKING UFOs TO SOLUTIONS FOR MAJOR PROBLEMS
For the UFO question to have a truly major impact on the mass consciousness, this subject will need to be transformed from an entertaining diversion and become a way of addressing the seemingly insurmountable problems our planet is facing. This is already being attempted by those within the UFO community that discuss the possibility of downloading into our technological culture the secrets of the energy propulsion systems of flying saucers. So-called “free energy” in one fell swoop might eliminate poverty and pollution, possibly even reversing global warming and ending world hunger.
Of course, for the so-called ETs to give us such devices, they might understandably insist on a peaceful transformation of our planet to replace what Ufologist Stanton Friedman called our perpetual state of “tribal warfare.” In the past such a proposition was an impossibly “hard sell” because military and political leaders, the mass media and academia all in service to ruling elites repeatedly insisted, “There is nothing to it.”
HE WHO PAYS THE PIPER CALLS THE TUNE
Clandestine forces determined to keep a lid on the UFO issue have been called “the control groups.” In the past, they employed a strategy of recruiting authority figures to block any significant discussion of flying saucers. Opinion makers that stepped out of line found that their access to funding would be cut off. This was done behind the scenes and has been quite effective in my opinion.
In the USA, the National Academy of Sciences made it perfectly clear that UFO studies are not part of the “legitimate” agenda for professional science. Scientists that stepped out of line could find themselves unable to secure grants thus ending their careers. This has now changed somewhat with the Galileo Project headed by Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. It should be mentioned, however, that Dr. Loeb’s UAP detection project is reportedly supported in such a way so as not to take money from traditional scientific financial backers. Heavens forbid a UAP investigation might divert funding for “real science.”
In broadcast journalism in the past, talk show hosts that might inform the public in a detailed way about flying saucers could find themselves without corporate sponsors. We should not forget that major newspapers are controlled through their editorial boards that in turn are dependent on commercial advertising to continue publishing.
This analysis of the social mechanisms of the “UFO Truth Embargo” is not a conspiracy theory. I merely describe the way power works. In the former Soviet Union, it was the political dictatorship of the Communist Party that attempted to regulate almost every aspect of people’s lives. That social experiment failed miserably. In the West, however, social control is far more sophisticated, decentralized and uses the knowledge of social psychology called “public relations” to effectively manipulate the masses.
RESISTANCE TO CHANGE ALSO COMES FROM WITHIN
On the individual level, our tendency to identify with our thoughts leads to a profound attachments to old ideas. This resistance to changing one’s point of view flows from the ego itself. “Ego” in this context means identification with thought forms. People strive to defend their religion, political ideology, or moral customs to the point where some would even kill to maintain them. Just look at the present situation in Middle East, or at the millions killed centuries ago during the Spanish Inquisition and the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
Something similar in my opinion applies to acknowledging that an “ET” and/or interdimensional explanation for the flying saucer phenomenon might be true. Such a realization threatens to radically change the conceptual paradigm of our entire civilization. Since humans so strongly identify with their present beliefs, it is understandable that many reject such a brave new worldview in which we might have to accept a potent non-human presence.
UFO INTELLIGENCE HAS A TIGER BY THE TAIL.
What about the intelligences responsible for flying saucers? Could “they” (whoever they ultimately turn out to be) simply fill the sky with structured craft? Or stage the proverbial “landing on the Whitehouse Lawn?” Such actions would certainly convince the masses that flying saucers are of the greatest importance. In my judgment, this scenario is the least likely to ever take place. Given the militaristic mindset of our civilization, a sudden realization of the reality of UFOs could be catastrophic. My guess is that careful gradual efforts to alert us of their importance is the game plan of both the intelligences responsible for the phenomenon and some elements of the establishment as well. I highly recommend Grant Cameron’s book “Managing Magic.” He shows how the US Executive Branch has pursued a gradual acclimatization project which runs in parallel to the coverup.
So, what will it take to change mass public opinion on the flying saucer question? If the alleged “ETs” continue the present pattern of interactions, millions of individual sightings yearly interspersed with occasional massive waves, I imagine that there will be opportunities to slowly build public awareness by a responsible program of education.
RESPONSIBLE PROGRAM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
This will require UFO enthusiasts to discipline the crazies in our midst, think creatively and most importantly of all build stable, well-financed organizations to carry out the educational campaign. All this will need to be done in opposition to the control groups that have great experience in manipulating public opinion and putting their spin on the limited disclosure that has been going on.
“TURNING PAGES IN A PLAY BOOK”
Can we trust UFO intelligences to follow what we imagine is their existing “game plan” of gradually alerting humanity to their presence? I suppose not. UFO researcher Michael Lindemann once said that we should never assume that we can think like the so-called “aliens.” Nevertheless, the ever-changing pattern of interactions, as pointed out by UFO researcher Grant Cameron, appears to be as if the aliens have been turning the pages of a “play book.” This can be seen by the appearance of “Men in Black” in the 1950s, so called “alien abductions” starting in the 1960s and followed by crop circles reported in Southern England and then all over the world. While all this has been happening, tens of thousands of contact experiencers have described mental interactions with flying saucer intelligences. Many of these individuals are instilled with a sense of mission and are striving to convince their fellow “Earthlings” that we should look up and accept what our eyes are seeing.
In my judgment, UFO intelligences will continue to present us with new and creative ways of waking us up from our collective stupor concerning their “wonders in the sky.” I believe their presence is non-harmful and very likely beneficial for mankind. Bringing others to this hopeful perspective, I imagine, is a challenge that many contact and disclosure activists will continue to face for some time.

This post is a collection of links that explore common roadblocks couples may be facing unknowingly. As well as practical concepts that articulate complex issues.
While ADHD can be a very impactful contributing factor to relational distress, there are often other key elements that can be worked through alongside the diagnosis. Rather than repeatedly linking individual articles in replies, I thought it might be useful to keep them all in one place for easy accessibility.
Here are some concepts that may help you understand yourself and your partner better:
Personality and Behavioral models

1. Do you know the importance of Attachment Styles?
2. Are you an Overfunctioner or an Underfunctioner?
3. What are youyour partner's maladaptive schemas?
4. What's youyour partner's OCEAN?
5. Could you be experiencing OTRS?
6. The ADHD or CPTSD overlap & Narcissism vs Complex Trauma

Interpersonal Concepts

1. Mindfulness - Respond vs React (When dealing with defensive, argumentative or manipulative people)
2. Intent vs Impact
3. Compassionate Detachment
4. Codependency vs Interdependency
5. Emotional Flooding
6. Cognitive Distortions
7. The Pursuer and Distancer pattern
8. 5 Pillars of Attachment
9. Signs of Subtle Abuse

Workbooks and questionnaires

1. Gottman 'Sound Relationship House' assessment
2. EFT Workbook for couples
3. The Set Boundaries workbook
4. DBT skills workbook

Evidence-based Couple Therapy modalities

• EFT
• Imago (Recommended for couples impacted by ADHD)
• Gottman
• PACT

Evidence-based Trauma Therapy modalities

• EMDR
• Somatic Experiencing
• IPNB
• AEDP

These are not comprehensive topics but they can be a great starting point when addressing conflict or determining what to focus on in therapy.

Bizarre space circle captured in unprecedented detail
Astronomers have sighted only a handful of odd radio circles, and are trying to pin down what causes them.:
https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00861-6?utm_source=Nature+Briefing&utm_campaign=1cf0c44cbc-briefing-dy-20220325&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c9dfd39373-1cf0c44cbc-46129034
The indicating phenomenon, is the very long wavelength of radio signals that are very far below the infra-red, which can be used in calculating the age of the universe. The point in time that correlates to, can be interpreted as a beginning point for the universe as in the Big Bang, which model of the cosmos has just recently been officially recognized by cosmologists as a mistake, or, as more accurately predicted by GUT-CP as being the point in time when the universe' current expansion phase changed from contraction or even as a similar point in an infinite series of earlier such cycles of expansion and contractions.
The farther down the electromagnetic spectrum that the light of a star seems to be changed by doppler effect, the farther back in time that signal can be interpreted as having been emitted by that star that much earlier, thereby indicating a much older age of the star. The cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) has been used try and show that the universe has existed for about 13.8 billion years.
Stephen Hawking, in his last paper, 1981, concluded that the universe makes much more sense if its existence is considered to have no starting point, or is eternal. Mills theory, GUT-CP, predicted in 1995, that the universe has always exited. Now that the BB has been found to be in gross error, that moves the model of the universe having continuous existence, to be raised in priority over other models, to line up in priority with the model suggested by Hawking and with the model predicted in 1995, by GUT-CP. Another prediction of GUT-CP, that is derived together with this one, is that the expansion of the universe, is accelerating, a phenomena, that under the BB model, should not happen. That acceleration was "discovered" by academic cosmologists by observations made in 1998 and in 2012, of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.
A corollary, due to extremes of difficulty of comprehending infinite time, the infinity term used as a definite value for the "t" variable, tends to drop out of formulas used in such calculations, to define time as having a zero or null value, or to define time to as an undefined term, essentially making time non-existent, to become one more indicator, here mathematics, that the universe is much more intuitively understood as, not only being eternal, but tending to have no such parameter or dimension as time associated with its existence.
This tends to indicate that time, as it has been understand, is not only very different from the three parameters or dimensions associated with space, but does not even exist, or that time is an illusion. That illusory aspect has its roots in human psychobiology, specifically our human based sense of endurance, making time an anthropomorphism, much like face recognition. That is a method, built into ones visual cortex to help one differentiate between those who are like us and those who are not. This can be seen in the effect of pareidolia, such as interpreting marks on Mars as canals, seeing shapes in clouds, or hearing hidden messages in music[, and seeing religious figures in on complex surfaces].
Basically, we humans have attributed human traits onto the cosmos and from there expect the cosmos to act how we want it to act, amenable to our human based prejudices, be that short lived as we are, or to have weird attributes just because we like magic and other stimulating effects. A conservative mind set helps to make it seem to be so.
That is exactly what has caused basic errors in how Standard Quantum Mechanics has been allowed to develop, that error being based on ego, such recognition of authority be it right or wrong, rather than strict application of the scientific method.

NPD – A Deeper Understanding

The diagnostic features of NPD as outlined in the DSM-IV_TR include selfishness; those with NPD are concerned with their own needs being met. Other key diagnostic features include constant compliment seeking, a sense of entitlement, and establishing friendships that will fulfill these needs. A key component to the diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis of NPD is that “individuals with this disorder require excessive admiration. Their self-esteem is almost invariably very fragile…vulnerability in self-esteem makes individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder very sensitive to injury from criticism or defeat” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 714-715). With such fragility, it could be that other diagnostic criteria for NPD are included in the DSM as a means to protect persons with NPD from feelings of insecurity.
Etiology of NPD is not in any version of the DSM. Clinical staff of the Mayo Clinic have surmised that the cause may be connected to a dysfunctional childhood, excessive pampering, extremely high expectations, abuse or neglect, even possibly genetics or psychobiology (Mayo Clinic, 2012).

Michael Jackson – The Performer

Michael Jackson was “perhaps the most exciting performer of his generation” (Elber, 2009, para. 11). He would stand on stage for a full three minutes, motionless, no music playing, bringing the crowd to a frenzy. [...] The social induction such as those Michael Jackson elicited from his fans would essentially feed the needs of someone afflicted with NPD.
​

In-depth Look at Michael Jackson and NPD Features

It states as a diagnostic feature in the DSM-IV-TR (2000) that individuals with NPD “believe they are superior or unique and expect others to recognize them as such” (p. 714). Michael Jackson standing motionless on the stage for the first three minutes could be considered a means by which he defined himself as superior and unique, giving credence to his self-defined title as the King of Pop. As demonstrated in the initial moments of his 1992 Budapest concert, there was a brief second where a glimpse of what could be construed as a grandiose smile escaped Michael Jackson’s stoic stance. In watching the concert footage, it is apparent that every person in the stadium was affected as Jackson brought the crowd to an uncontrolled screaming, passionate frenzy. In essence, he brought the crowd of 70,000 to their knees.
Another diagnostic feature of NPD as stated in the DSM-IV-TR (2000) is that “these individuals may expect great dedication from others and may overwork them without regard for the impact on their lives” (p. 714). In the posthumous movie, This Is It (Bearden et al., 2010) , those who worked with Michael Jackson mention how he worked extremely hard and very long hours to achieve perfection. Jackson would obsess over one note for a considerable amount of time until the musician(s) could play it to his high expectations. He would also go through a similar routine with the dancers and singers. Those working on the This Is It tour commented on how many hours they would work in a given day and how many times they would rehearse one song or dance; and that they knew they would not have a personal life until the tour was completed (Bearden et al., 2010). Even the choreographeproducer of the tour mentioned that Michael would call him throughout the night with different ideas or changes (Bearden et al., 2010).
Publicly, Michael Jackson fit Freud’s classical analytic theory as it relates to narcissism in that he fit Freud’s definition of the ego ideal (Freud, 1914/1937): he was charming and assured in knowing that his talent was extraordinary. However, it seems Michael’s ego ideal was set up as a result of (and to protect) his fractured personality. This illustrates the reality of how difficult it is to treat those such as Michael Jackson – especially when consulting the DSM-IV-TR (2000). The DSM-IV-TR is structured in such a manner (i.e., a categorical classification system of which the patient must display a certain number of symptoms in a diagnostic criteria set that have great overlaps between and among the different PDs) that it would be easy to diagnose him with virtually any disorder (as there is a high degree of overlap and co-occurrence of Axis II PDs and Axis I mental disorders – described later in this article). This seems to not only validate Ronningstam’s (2005) previously stated view that, “narcissism represents a syndrome of relatively diverse behaviour” (p. 22), but also Livesley’s (1995) observation that NPD “is in fact particularly problematic in its overlap with other personality disorders” (p. 215). The DSM-IV-TR is also problematic in the sense that, “[p]eople with traits of pathological narcissism that range beyond the DSM-IV criteria set…will not be correctly identified” (Ronningstam, 2005, p. 27).
Joel Paris, a leading research psychiatrist on Personality Disorders (PDs), brings to the forefront the difficulty in effectively diagnosing and treating those with fractured personalities. He maintains that the difficulty lies not only with the diverse behaviours they exhibit, but also with the large number of fuzzy diagnoses, leading to a lack of understanding of any of the PDs (Paris, 2008, p. 40). The views of Ronningstam (2005), the observations of Livesley (1995), and the criticisms by Paris (2008) seem to suggest that had the DSM-IV and its contributors not been so focused on being respected by the medical community-at-large, perhaps the move toward reductionist theory (reducing behaviours to biological explanations rather than one comprised of multiple causes), as seems paramount in the DSM-IV, would have been debated more diligently and a more encompassing format would have been implemented. In other words, reducing behavioural observations to biological explanations based on fuzzy diagnoses rather than including them among other factors such as etiology marginalizes the importance of psychoanalysis.
Marginalizing psychoanalysis thwarts the ability of a diagnostician to discern the condition, resulting in treating it as though the neurosis is pathology. In other words, “symptoms are suggestive complaints” (Paris, 2008, p. 40) which can be psychologically based and, as such, it is through psychotherapy and not psychotropic therapy that the root cause could be effectively diagnosed and treated. What seems to have resulted is that “psychiatry rarely deals with causes of illness, only their signs and symptoms” (Paris, 2008, p. 39). In essence, Paris’ (2008) findings have brought to the forefront that how treatment is sought and provided is faultily superficial: therapy as a means of treating the biological component and not the underlying psychological issues that afflict the well-being of those such as Michael Jackson.
In accordance with the DSM-IV-TR (2000), Michael Jackson’s Non-Axial Format Assessment would present as follows:
ICD Code [3]
DSM-IV-TR Diagnoses

• Major Depressive Disorder Drug Abuse
• Narcissistic Personality Disorder
• Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Michael Jackson’s DSM-IV-TR Multi-Axial Format(GAF) Rating Scale would present as follows:

​
What Michael’s symptoms communicate is a pre-morbid condition of NPD. As a result, co-morbidity of Major Depressive Disorder and drug abuse came about, which brought on the psychosomatic symptoms of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Sleep Disorder and Anorexia Nervosa. What the evaluation does not convey is what precipitated NPD and its subsequent symptoms. While the results of the DSM-IV evaluations are essential for statistical and other purposes (such as insurance claims), the fundamental and necessary features of how and why are missing. These two features are paramount to understanding fractured personalities and implementing successful treatment.
As stated by Dr. Darrel Regier, Director of the American Psychiatric Association:

Doctors in general are reductionist. A patient walks in and you have 10 minutes to find out what in their whole life story is significant. There is a tremendous screening process to cut out irrelevant material. (as cited in Vedantam, 2005, p. 2)

What seems essential is determining how and why someone’s personality becomes fractured. In other words, what is integral (and is not mentioned in the DSM-IV-TR) for well-being is the understanding of etiology, for “we have only one enduring weapon in our struggle against mental illness: the emotional discovery of the truth about the unique history of our childhood” (Miller, 1997, p. 1). To do this requires more than 10 minutes; it requires sessions of psychotherapy and an understanding that all material is relevant. Unfortunately, the trend in recent years has been to “ignore the merits of therapeutic talk and over-prescribe drugs in shotgun fashion” (Dufresne, 2009, p. 1). It is seemingly due to this trend as a consequence of the DSM-IV that the ability to truly heal a patient has been affected. It should be clearly stated that there are no shortcuts or scientific formulas to diagnosing and treating a patient; that in order to effectively treat a patient with a disorder such as NPD it is important to understand the patient from past to present, or, as stated by Kierkegaard (1843) “life must be lived forward but understood backward” (as cited in Ronningstam, 2005, p. xi). This is done via talk therapy and not the reductionist approach.
The public etiological history of Michael Jackson is such that, prior to 1993, Michael Jackson was thought of as having an idyllic life. His success and large family presented an image of love, support and unity – that together, the family rose from great poverty to success. On February 10, 1993, in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, that façade started to crack. During that interview, Michael spoke about his abusive father, Joe Jackson. Michael said of him, “I love my father, but I don’t know him” (Winfrey, 1993). He described what his father would do to him, say to him, and what he expected. Michael further explained to Winfrey that his mother was ‘perfect love’ and that he idolized his mother, saying, “I love my mother. To me she’s perfection” (Winfrey, 1993). This, because of Michael’s relationship with his father, could be diagnosed as Freud’s Oedipal Complex. What became clear during the interview was that Michael was an extremely disciplined and guarded, yet fractured person. What also became clear was Michael’s extraordinary intellect and intuition, but also his lack of comprehension about his own truth as it related to his childhood. In essence, Michael lacked the proper tools to heal the fractures in his personality.
In watching the 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview, it emerges that society in general, including the media, tends to gloss over the ills and magnify the successes of celebrities. In the case of Michael Jackson, this is evident from not only the interview with Oprah Winfrey but from his autobiography as well as the biographies of the majority of celebrities; from reading them, “one gains the impression that their lives began at puberty” (Miller, 1997, p. 3), that their early childhoods were virtually unimportant or irrelevant to their successes and emotional turmoil. This ideology seems to be influenced by all editions of the DSM in that it implies a hesitation to diagnose someone with a disorder before reaching the age of 18. It is as if childhood experiences have no bearing on a person’s mental well-being once they enter adulthood. Yet, even with the pervasive influence of Freudian theories outlining the effects of parents and early experiences on mental health in adulthood, childhood experiences – especially those of famous people – are afforded only cursory treatment.

Michael Jackson – His Friendships, His Loves, His Life

“Michael heard that I had left halfway through [his concert], and called me the next day, and was like in tears because he had heard that I'd walked out. I hadn't walked out. I just couldn't see anything.” Elizabeth Taylor, May 31, 2006 Larry King Interview

Narcissists “tend to form friendships or romantic relationships only if the other person seems likely to advance their purpose or otherwise enhance their self-esteem” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 715). Michael Jackson’s friendships seem to fit this diagnostic feature of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Present at the 1993 Winfrey interview was Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth spoke fondly of Michael, praising him for his abilities and complimenting him and admiring him for his intelligence, gifts, and intuition. Michael Jackson stood with hands clasped behind his back slightly behind a seated Elizabeth, frozen, gazing straight ahead – until Elizabeth started talking about him as though he were a perfect being. At that point, for a millisecond, the camera caught Michael’s expression. His expression (much like the one at his Budapest concert mentioned earlier) seemed to convey that Elizabeth was validating to Winfrey and the world what Michael really wanted them to hear. As noted in the DSM-IV-TR (2000), “those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder specifically need that attention to be admiring” (p. 716).
Not only did Michael Jackson’s friendships fit the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic feature of NPD, but also did his romantic relationships, such as that with Lisa Marie Presley – the daughter of Elvis Presley. Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie were married from 1994 to 1996. What the DSM-IV-TR does not expound upon is that narcissism is “also associated with indirect strategies for gaining status and esteem, such as “acquiring ‘trophy’ romantic partners” (Campbell & Baumeister, 2006, p. 423). During a March 2005 interview, Oprah asked Lisa Marie if she thought Michael loved her. Lisa Marie responded, “Yes, as much as he was capable of loving somebody” (Winfrey, 2005). Oprah then asked if Lisa Marie thought Michael Jackson used her. Lisa Marie responded, “All signs point to yes on that” (Winfrey, 2005). In the same interview, Lisa Marie’s mother, Priscilla, conveyed to Oprah that Michael wanted to meet Lisa Marie when she was 16 years old. Priscilla didn’t allow it. Then 10 years later, to Priscilla’s surprise, Lisa Marie married Michael. Priscilla Presley felt that Michael wanted to have a child with Lisa Marie because of who her father was, saying:

I was concerned and suspicious…there’s something very calculating and manipulative about how he does things…there’s a whole thread in everything that he does…to maintain his popularity…to be associated somehow to her and her father…I do believe he wanted her children. (Winfrey, 2005)

Lisa Marie agreed (Winfrey, 2005). As well, it seemed that Michael’s other motive for marrying Lisa Marie was to get in the good graces of his fans again, as the marriage happened during the plummet of his career. Essentially, Lisa Marie Presley was a trophy for Michael Jackson.
Fluctuating self-esteem is another aspect of NPD is. NPD has included in its diagnostic features that, “vulnerability in self-esteem makes individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder very sensitive to ‘injury’ from criticism or defeat” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 715). Michael’s physical experience was closely tied to his father’s criticisms. He conveyed that his father would tell him how ugly his nose and pimply his face was; that he was visually repugnant. Michael stated during the 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview that Joe Jackson’s nickname for his son was “Big Nose” (Winfrey, 1993). Seemingly, it is due to his father’s early statements about his looks that Michael was driven to seek physical perfection through plastic surgeries. However, even with all the physical changes, he forever struggled with his childhood demons. During the 1993 Oprah Winfrey interview, as well as in subsequent interviews, when Jackson was asked about his face and skin he became very uncomfortable, frequently denying the extent of his metamorphosis with disdain and defiance.
Those with NPD whose self-esteem has been threatened may also react with “disdain, rage, or defiant counterattack” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 715). In 2001, Michael Jackson’s album Invincible had poor record sales (Pulley, 2003, para 3). His earlier albums such as Thriller amassed sales of $115 million (Pulley, 2003, para 6). The sales of $15 million were “a poor return for the $25 million he spent to produce it” (Pulley, 2003, para. 3). Rather than taking responsibility for the quality of the album, Jackson personally attacked the Chairman of the record label, stating that the Chairman was “mean…a racist…and very, very devilish” (Vineyard, 2002, para. 5). Despite the amount of money spent on making and promoting the album, because it was not well received, Michael refused to promote the album and virtually went into hiding.
Michael Jackson’s morphing appearance – his continual striving for physical perfection – could be diagnosed as Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which is considered a co-morbid condition of NPD. Michael’s ever-changing nose and facial features is indicative of BDD in the sense that those with BDD are preoccupied with the “…shape, size or some other aspect of the nose, eyelids, eyebrows…lips, teeth, jaw, chin, cheeks, or head” (DSM-IV-TR, 2000, p. 506). Michael Jackson’s dermatologist and friend, Dr. Arnie Klein, confirmed during an interview with TMZ.com on November 6 2009, that “Michael was freakish if he saw one line on his face. He would have to have it fixed immediately”.
Also included in the diagnostic features of NPD is anorexia nervosa. Symptoms of anorexia nervosa include self-starvation. On October 16, 2009, Jackson’s long-time friend and choreographeproducer for many of Jackson’s music videos and concerts, Kenny Ortega, appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show to discuss Michael Jackson and This Is It. Oprah commented of Michael Jackson’s weight: “He was really thin” (Winfrey, 2009). Ortega responded that he was concerned about Jackson’s weight, saying that he had asked him about it, to which Jackson responded, “This is my fighting weight” (Winfrey, 2009). In a separate interview, filmmaker and friend Bryan Michael Stoller stated that shortly before Michael’s death he was shocked by Michael’s weight and that when he “hugged him…it was like hugging bones” (Fleeman, 2009, para. 7). Michael Jackson’s autopsy states his weight at 136 pounds (Duke, 2010, para. 18).
Not only did Jackson’s physical appearance change drastically, but his skin color completely changed from that of his early years to his adult years. Michael mentioned in the 1993 Winfrey interview that the change was due to a skin condition known as vitiligo. When Oprah Winfrey asked whether Michael was taking anything to change the color of his skin, Michael responded:

Oh, God no, we tried to control it and using make-up evens it out because it makes blotches on my skin, I have to even out my skin. But you know what’s funny, why is that so important? That’s not important to me. I’m a great fan of art, I love Michelangelo, if I had the chance to talk to him or read about him I would want to know what inspired him to become who he is, the anatomy of his craftsmanship, not about who he went out with last night…what’s wrong with…I mean that’s what is important to me. (Winfrey, 1993)

Michael’s answer seemed evasive and somewhat nonsensical; he seemed distant, dissociated, and emotionally flat. As noted by Brosig, Möhring, Kupfer, & Beckmann (1998), even in the midst of a profound emotional issue, narcissists will be ‘strangely unmoved’. Regarding skin, it “possesses the expressive function of representing an unconscious conflict” (Brosig et al., 1998, p. 471). BDD can be considered akin to a rabbit in pain: the cry is so high-pitched that no one can hear the pain being expressed, even though the physical characteristics and demeanor are physiological reactions – metaphorical indicators – of the psychological pain. This is evidenced in Michael’s response to Oprah’s question regarding his skin. Michael’s issue with his emotional self transcended to his physical self. Yet, despite the vast change in his physical self, the public and his doctors did not seem worried about his wellbeing, nor about what his physical transformations and afflictions meant on a psychosocial level. Michael was a rabbit and society, family, friends and his doctors watched, only acknowledging what they wanted to acknowledge.
In recent years, it has emerged that the love Michael Jackson received from his father, Joe Jackson, was conditional. His father’s love was conditional on Michael meeting the obligations set for him. One could surmise that Michael’s mother’s emotions were predicated on his father’s emotions and her own issue with her inability to succeed at establishing a successful country music career, which in turn would affect the children of the relationship. Miller (1997) maintains, “[f]ar too many of us had to learn as children to hide our own feelings, needs, and memories skillfully in order to meet our parents’ expectations and win their ‘love’” (back book cover). Pinsky and Young (2009) stress that, “a secure attachment to a parent nurtures empathy, high self-esteem, and self-awareness” (p. 107). It seems evident that not only did Michael Jackson’s parents fail in providing psychological security, but also that Michael had to learn as a young child to hide his emotions, needs and memories in order to meet his parents’ expectations and win their love. Where Michael appeared happiest – where he could express his emotions – was the place he received his greatest accolades: on the stage singing and dancing. On stage is where Michael’s idealized self was reflected back onto his iconic mirrored glasses.
The DSM-IV-TR (2000) also puts forth that those with NPD “may profess a commitment to perfectionism and believe others cannot do things as well” (p. 716). Michael Jackson’s quest for perfectionism was apparent in every aspect of his life – especially his performances. This more than likely stems from the fact that Joe Jackson (as stated by Michael Jackson) “had a belt in his hand” as Michael and his brothers rehearsed and that “[if] you didn’t do it right, he would tear you up” (Taraborrelli, 2010, p. 612) Joe Jackson would demand perfection from Michael and his brothers; Joe Jackson is widely viewed as an abusive father who terrorized his children: “when they didn’t perform well or weren’t ‘trying hard enough’, he would beat and belittle them” (Hollywood, 2009, para. 2). On July 20, 2009, Joe Jackson was interviewed on CNN’s Larry King Live. During the interview, Larry King asked about physically abusing his sons (specifically Michael), Joe’s response was as follows:

The media keep hollering about saying that I beat Michael. That's not true. You know what this beat started -- beat started in the slavery days. Where they used to beat the slaves and then they used to torture them. That's where these beating started. These slave masters, and that's where that come from. But, hey, there's a lot of people in America, Larry, a lot of people in America spank their kids, you know? They say they don't, they're lying. They're lying. Now, Michael was never beaten by me, I've never beaten at all. (King, 2009)

In watching Joe Jackson, he presented as haughty. Joe Jackson also intimated during the Larry King interview that it was because of him that Michael experienced extraordinary success (King, 2009).
Joe Jackson’s personality characteristics impacted and influenced his family. Joe Jackson’s characteristics are not only characteristic of NPD, but they appear to display characteristics of a specific narcissistic type: phallic narcissistic character. This character is “self-confident, arrogant, vigorous…hard and sharp with masculine features. These individuals are haughty, cold, reserved, or aggressive with disguised sadistic traits in relation to others” (Ronningstam, 2005, p. 8). Not only does Joe Jackson have sharp, masculine features, but he displays each of these phallic narcissistic characteristics in virtually every interview this author watched – especially the 2009 Larry King interview. Not only did Joe Jackson treat his family in a sadistic manner (which included extra-marital affairs), but according to this author, his (re)actions during interviews were laced with symptoms associated with phallic narcissistic characteristics. If Joe Jackson was indeed NPD his notions of perfectionism would be hard to meet because he would always think he himself could do better. It is parental conditioning such as Joe Jackson’s that prompts children such as Michael Jackson to operate in the world the way they do as adults.
In the early years, we are all narcissistic. As a child develops, the ego and super-ego start to develop. Children’s traits and characteristics are influenced by their environment, which in turn influences neuronal pathways. Kolb and Whishaw (1998) found that experience (nurture) stimulates neuroplasticity. Essentially, how parents engage and treat their children is an experience that affects how neuronal pathways are mapped and, hence, how perception of reality is formed. For instance, because Michael Jackson’s parents were focused on their children achieving what they could not, they were somewhat militant in directing how their children rehearsed and acted. As such, Michael might have felt happiest when he was musically engaged, as “dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with emotional regulation, alertness, and mood, is released when people hear or perform music, and the dopaminergic system aids in the encoding of the memory trace” (Levitin, 2007, p. 198). As a result of years of musical practice, Michael’s dopaminergic pathways would be acutely developed, which would create a somewhat euphoric state when singing or dancing because of the stimulation the dopamine would give to the pleasure centre (the limbic brain which is the regulator of emotions), hence recapturing positive memory traces.
Dopamine plays an important role in behaviour as well as mood, attention, learning and sleep. It has been found that dopamine is connected with mood disorders as “decreased dopamine activity is involved in depression, while increased dopamine function contributes to mania” (Diehl & Gershon, 1992, p. 417). Friedel (2004) hypothesized that dopamine dysfunction may play a role in BPD. This could be extended to NPD, for the DSM-IV-TR (2000) (as noted earlier in this paper) asserts that NPD may be associated with other disorders, including BPD (p. 716). The DSM-IV-TR (2000) outlines that NPD can also be associated with substance-related disorders. Michael Jackson presented differently off stage. He was quieter, he seemed less secure, which could connote a change in activity of the dopamine neurotransmitter. In essence, with regard to his personal life, his emotional brain engaged his dopaminergic pathways in a different manner. It was as if the avoidance of truly understanding his etiology was affecting his ability to function. Oxycontin, one of many prescription medications Michael Jackson was ingesting (Esposito, 2009), stimulates the pleasure centre by releasing dopamine, thereby likely staving off his emotional pain, protecting his inner self from his outer self.
Not only was Michael Jackson addicted to Oxycontin, but also he was, as stated by Dr. Arnie Klein, “totally addicted to Propofol” (as cited in Casarez, 2011), a short-acting hypnotic agent. Schulte et al. (2000) determined that Propofol has an effect on the release of the neurotransmitter dopamine. Michael’s dopaminergic pathways were in a constant flux, desperately trying to find balance. Seemingly, Michael Jackson used drugs as a means for “compensating narcissistic vulnerability and self-esteem fluctuations, for maintaining self-control…and for self-protection and strengthening boundaries between the internal and external world” (Ronningstam, 2005, p. 127). The ‘psychotropic treatment’, however, was proving ineffective.
Recently, Rabbi Boteach, a friend of Michael Jackson’s, wrote a one-page article titled, “The Myth that Michael Jackson was Happy and Healthy” (2009c). Boteach outlined how the media and public perceived Michael Jackson in a different light than actuality. Boteach (2009c) maintained that, “[t]he reason this misrepresentation is so destructive is that it would have us believe there is nothing to be learned from Michael’s tragic death” (Myth, para. 2). In response to Michael’s ‘relationship’ with psychotropics and other medications, Boteach (2009b) also stated that

Michael was a man in tremendous pain and his tragedy was to medicate his pain away rather than addressing its root cause. On many occasions when I visited him he would emerge from his room woozy and clearly sedated. Who were the doctors giving him this stuff? Was there no one to save him from himself? Was there no one to intervene? (Tragic, para. 3)

The reality is that, according to IMS Health Canada, since 1994, “the fastest rising diagnoses made by office-based physicians” (Currie, 2005, p. 3) are of depression and “[e]ighty-one percent of physician visits for depression … resulted in a recommendation for an anti-depressant” (Currie, 2005, p. 3). The increase of psychotropic treatment for disorders is indicative of how impactful the scientific psychiatric community, and by extension the DSM-IV, is on the medical profession and society. It is akin to the social induction Michael Jackson was able to elicit at his concert(s). In essence, the case of Michael Jackson brings to the forefront how the mental health profession’s fractured identity is affecting effective diagnoses and treatment. In other words, it seems that the effect of the DSM-IV is such that it is used by medical professionals to identify and treat disorders as being biologically based, and that the DSM-IV essentially influences medical practitioners into believing they understand how to treat psychological disorders. The belief that disorders are biologically based seems to anaesthetize society from mental and physical wellbeing, resulting in only focusing on the outer self rather than on healing the inner self. As noted by Pinsky and Young (2009), Miller (1997), and Svrakić (1984), especially as it relates to PDs, etiology has an effect on overall wellbeing.
It is important to recognize that psychotherapy, “heals faulty brain wiring and chemistry … [and] improves neurotransmitter levels” (Borel, 2008, para. 8). Dr. Deepak Chopra (2009) maintains that neurotransmitters are influenced by thoughts. By healing thoughts, well-being is affected. Both DeRubeis et al. (2005) and Erbaugh (1995) found in their studies that while psychotherapy may take longer than psychotropic treatment, the benefits of psychotherapy are more far reaching and longer lasting. Even in the event of relapse, Erbaugh (1995) determined that, “the interval between cessation of active treatment and subsequent episodes of depression appears to be lengthened after psychotherapeutic intervention” (p. 3). Erbaugh (1995) also noted that psychotherapy is beneficial in dealing with “impairments of social function and reactions to stress, disappointment, and other psychosocial issues that are common triggers or consequences” (p. 3). Had Michael Jackson participated in psychotherapy, his life may have turned out quite differently.
Experience with PDs and the co-morbid conditions that might present with PDs are paramount to understanding and helping those whose personalities are fractured. As noted in the DSM-IV-TR (2000), individuals with NPD “have a grandiose sense of self-importance…are often preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love” (p. 714). What the DSM-IV-TR (2000) seems to gloss over is that perhaps these are coping and defense mechanisms. As noted by Svrakić (1985), NPD is a two-level personality disorganization. The first level is the superficial level – the grandiose self. The second level is the inner level, which is sheltered by the grandiose self. It is the inner level that is, essentially, “frightened, frustrated, emotionally deprived, envious, and full of omnipotent rage” (Svrakić, 1985, p. 720). The DSM-IV-TR, while it outlines the features associated with NPD, seems to associate those with NPD as having fragile self-esteems, but equate them as being egotistical in nature without providing an understanding as to why grandiosity is a key diagnostic feature of NPD: to shelter the insecure self.
After Oprah Winfrey’s 1993 interview, it became clear how fragile Michael Jackson really was, how he had created his life in an effort to shield his inner level from the superficial level. Not only did Michael create a fantastical public world, but he did so privately as well. Such shielding seemed to include idealizing the fictional character Peter Pan. According to Neverpedia (n.d.) “Peter is mainly an exaggerated stereotype of a boastful and careless boy. He is quick to point out how great he is, even when such claims are questionable” (“Personality”, para. 1). During the Oprah Winfrey 1993 interview (as well as the July 2009 Larry King posthumous Michael Jackson special), Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch was showcased. Throughout Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch are pictures of Peter Pan. There are also portraits of Michael Jackson as Peter Pan. As well, Michael’s house (of which child actor Macaulay Culkin assisted with the design) was built with many secret passageways and the grounds were developed like a theme park.
In 1987, Michael Jackson met with Trevor Nunn, the Broadway director of Peter Pan. Michael’s reaction to Nunn was, “Could I play Peter, is it too late? Will you let me play Peter? All I ever want to do is play Peter Pan” (Nunn, 2009, para. 20). Nunn (2009) described in his article how Michael Jackson knew every minute detail of Peter Pan, how he could recite word for word text from the story, but mostly how he “became immensely vulnerable and childlike as the delight transformed him to some earlier moment in his life” (para. 21). It is evident how much Michael Jackson idealized and wanted to be Peter Pan – to remain and live in a grandiose childhood dream away from reality.
As noted in the DSM-IV-TR (2000), and as noted earlier, one of the diagnostic criteria for NPD is a preoccupation with ideal love (p. 717). Not only was Michael’s perception of his mother that of ‘perfect love’, but he was enraptured by the world of Peter Pan. Peter Pan presides over the Lost Boys who are “children who look to his leadership but who he needs as much as they need him. The Lost Boys live in the same big room as Peter and they all sleep in the same big bed” (Nunn, 2009, para. 33). During his 2003 interview with British journalist Martin Bashir, Jackson emphatically stated: “I am Peter Pan” (Anderson & Shaw, 2003).
Narcissism and NPD have negative connotations while the features of Peter Pan Syndrome include fantasy, protection and ideal love – ideas with positive connotations. Essentially, those with Peter Pan Syndrome, “simply feel a dreamy, imaginative comfort inside of their own minds – an attraction of introspection that is positive and well-meaning” (Bailyn, 2009, para. 1). There are aspects of Michael Jackson’s self that are fantastical and dreamy and very childlike. As Nunn (2009) intimated, and as observed in Bashir’s interview, Michael Jackson had an ideology of what perfectionism is, what a fantastical world should be, embracing and wishing to hold on to youth by surrounding himself with his own Lost Boys – this is all indicative of Peter Pan and Neverland (Anderson & Shaw, 2003). Jackson’s quest to make his fantastical world his reality seemed to be a catalyst for what was happening in his reality and what he was trying to protect: his inner self. It was an escape; the kind of escape which those with NPD seek: “the kind that is at the root of narcissistic disorders” (Pinsky & Young, 2009, p. 107).
NPD can only be formally diagnosed when the features of narcissism become pervasive. The DSM-IV-TR (2000) outlines the diagnostic features and criteria associated with NPD. What is greatly misunderstood, even with the diagnostic features put forth in the DSM-IV-TR (2000), is that those afflicted with NPD are not in love with themselves but, rather, with a reflection of what they perceive to be their real selves. For instance, Michael’s Jackson’s BDD was his attempt to reflect what he perceived to be his real self. This misperception was reinforced by his early experiences.
The effect of childhood trauma does not appear in the diagnostic features of the DSM-IV-TR. Yet, Miller (1997), Pinsky and Young (2009) determined that childhood trauma is associated with NPD. Another feature that is not present in the DSM-IV-TR is loneliness. Miller (1997), Pinsky and Young (2009), and Svrakić (1985) found that loneliness is a common symptom of those with NPD. Michael Jackson discussed his childhood trauma in various interviews. In June 2009, Deepak Chopra, a long-time friend, stated that Michael’s personal loneliness was intimately known to Chopra. “The greatest problem with narcissistic personality disorder is its lack of validation through such external criteria as a specific etiological pathway” (Livesley, 1995, p. 217); however, because loneliness cannot be externally validated via scientific research, it is not included in the DSM-IV-TR.
Based on the interviews and the posthumous movie This Is It, it is clear that the media and those around Michael Jackson painted him as quirky and weird; they avoided his mental health issues. Most notably, the Bashir interview did not venture into whether Michael Jackson was a fractured personality or explore why he was obsessed with Peter Pan (Anderson & Shaw, 2003). Simply, Bashir painted Michael Jackson as the stereotypical version of an eccentric, freaky and fantasy-like personality (Anderson & Shaw, 2003). By avoiding looking at what truly plagued Michael Jackson the media – and society in general – did not have to acknowledge the effects of childhood trauma. Instead, these interviews fostered the societal taboos as related to childhood experiences and enabled those around Michael Jackson (as well as Michael himself) to keep the effects of childhood trauma a secret. As Boteach (2009a) writes, “[o]ur culture, in which fortune and fame readily eclipse family and life nurturing values, is claiming an increasing number of casualties” (para. 2).
