Tat, we mmiss you 'round these parts

Wow... I really want to say thanks, im a newbie looking to loose weight and get a good platform to build on. And i hear a few of the pros talk about this and that, and im trying to understand it all, but your post on "Dieting Information"... well lets just say, i thought you heard all the questions that were in my head. That was really informative, and really appreciated. After ive applied these ideas and tatics for dieting id love to share my progress with you. Thanks again.

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for welcoming me to the forum. I am looking forward to chatting with all of you. Also, thanks regarding my 330 bench - that was last year. When I am done with the Masters Nationals in July I will start preping for my next meet - shooting for a 400 bench in the 148's or 165's. I will keep all posted. Also, keep an eye out as I will be posting my training journal & updating it daily...

Tat, would like to here you ideas about karma
thanks

Husserl was such a genius no? Yes, the isolated mind is a myth... I love your study. I think interviewing some Body Builders to learn how identity is shaped by the 'embodiment' and how that does alter the sense of 'self' is fascinating. PsychoAnalysis is making a come back though. Fascinating Stuff... Please, Please Tat keep me up to date. I'm beyond intrigued. Right now I"m doing grunt work for a PHD doing research for reforming education based on a new understanding of Mind and Self.
I'm hoping that my continued efforts get me a back page acknowledgement...

I referred to things like shared experience, intersubjectivity which emerges as empathy and that the original foundation of phenomenology with Husserl included things like dasein or being-in-the-world and lebenswelt or lifeworld.

I also noted that there is a commonality to the creation of gender with the oedipial complex and that defense mechanisms are also not unique to any one individual.

As Robert Stolorow put it, there is a prevalent myth of the isolated mind.

There are some constraits in my course, as it is with the open university, there isn't much point in going much beyond the materials they give you, it is just a function of long-distance learning. Otherwise I would have thrown in some Jung and the collective unconsciousness.

I love the OU, I have heard they are quite rare in that they teach psychoanalysis to undergraduates. So far, it has been quite prevalent in all the courses I have taken so far, and it is one of the interrogative themes in my social psychology course.

Of course, my research project does require a external lit review.

I am torn as to which method I should use, discourse analysis or psychoanalytic. I am going to interview one or two female bodybuilders and see how their perspective on self has changed as their bodies (embodiment) have altered.

The dualism is killing us. It will contiue too, as long as the predominant form of ummm... I'll call it 'technological knowledge' is the Dominant one. The subject/object knowledge, is how it operates. We need other 'tools,' it's a limited form of knowledge... How can U live if all you have is a hammer? Doesn't make sense. I think though there are indications of change all around us... I just don't know if as a species we have 'time'.

Ooooh... Great question...
Gimme like 20 minutes...
Just got home... It's different though today, then it was 20 years ago... and we are on an S curve of change. What I mean is even the nature of change is speeding up, so the predictions of even 5 years ago aren't gonna hold weight because, their estimation on the rate of change was static, that time was static, however both are speeding up. Gimme a little time, great question. The quick answer is psychoanalysis, and phenomenology is making a huge comeback in the theory of the self...
all the new studies in this postmodern society, have moved to examining not so much the self as a static object, however the self as a process or activity based on interpretation. My point is the belief is worthless... It is the Activity that a Belief is Formed that Has Value. This is the Secret of the Self...
The Activity... Knowledge as Capacity... not as Content. Our Objective Knowledge has us becoming Object oriented, and less Dynamic, However, I think this Outcome Based type of Knowledge is Evolving to understand that the Process or Activity has been overshadowed and Obfuscated.

hi Tatatyana... U never visit my page, I thought, Id visit U

Happy Birthday T!!!!!!

It's good to see you on the boards. Where the heck have you been?

I just wanted to drop in and say hello. I hope you are doing well.
I have actually made it back to the gym. It is in a reduced capacity but its a start!

Hey =) did you read my message? ^^ greetings

Are these black and white pics you got up pretty recent? If they are you are looking delightfully jacked. Nice job.

I'm reading a fascinating Social Psych Research Study done on Flirting, its evolutionary psych role, and a current study of how it operates in North Britain. I will hoist up some interesting bits once I digest it.
Have a wonderful 09.

U really ripped it up in my thread. I believe strongly in genetics and neuroscience, howeer, the scientific/technoliical model we use for knowledge based on symbolic mathematical logic of cause and effect only work on the physical level or when orders of experience are on the same level.

So much was left out, as U pointed out an integral approach is needed to understand a question that involves many different 'levels' .

However, I think we are coming to a point where dualistic type knowledge that is based on our current system that reduces perception, interpretation to 'subjective' and therefore meaningless, and promotes truth, which is really not really true, but more based on fundamental agreement or consensus of perception, anyway by this logic since meaning is no longer considered a matter that this 'knolwedge' can investigate or publicly discuss, what is meaningless, comes to the fore front by default.

My point is that yes cause and effect are true on the physical, to a certain degree cognitive level, however finding ways to moderate oxytocin and vasopressin may in the short term promote intimacy on the surface level, but in my opinion, while I love neuroscience and am pwned by technology, this form of understanding of knowledge as content instead of capacity... or how to live one' life in harmony is a more encompassing form of knowledge that in accord with 'technological' knowledge would promote a decrease in the increasing isolation that happens during our times.

Sorry for the Rant TAT, I was just impressed with the dynamic of U showing such a beautiful blend of open minded thinking in combination with your analytical nature. Great Stuff.

Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays Tat

Hi Tatyana,
You were the 1st person to greet me when I joined EF. Since then I've had some help from some other members but last night I posted a question about fat burners. Are there good ones out there and what are they? I bought Lipovox and felt terrible on it. This morning some of the answers to my post were, "ever hear of a gym, exercise and diet". I realize thats what its all about, I only want to know from the experts if there is something more to help me. If you have any advise can you let me know? Thanks,
debij
