Dedication
I'd like to dedicate this inspirational ebook to my adored friend, Arnold Balcarce, who was lost through an act of suicide when he was just 28 years old. His example guided me through the dangers of the unknown truths I discovered through the interpretation of my dreams, and allowed me to avoid his fatal mistakes. Though he was also searching for knowledge and truth, he failed. However, his failure was very important for me, otherwise I wouldn't have encountered success on my journey.

Courage
By Christina Sponias Chatzidimou

Knowledge and ignorance everywhere, without distinction if you think this place is a living hell, youre absolutely right; if you dont, then youre nave. In any event, with the help of my lesson about happiness within a living hell, you can smarten up, starting right now! Do you think you can find happiness in a living hell? I doubt it! Hell is hell! You need to change it if you want to be happy. But, who can correct a living hell, where everything is awful and so completely wrong? Only a hero Would you like to be a hero? Yes? Youre silly!! No? I thought not! But now youre being cowardly, arent you? Nothing is ever really perfect. There is no magical solution for any of your problems. You need to suffer! Do I sound too simplistic? Then be simplistic like me, but dont lose your hopes. Keep them in a safe place, because youll need them regularly during lifes journey. If you have no hopes, youd better acquire some: its easy and its free. You can, for example, hope to become rich. Dont just hope to be or to have something that doesnt exist however, because it sounds crazy. You must hope to see the impossible happen to you, even if it does exist. If someone considers you a bit crazy, dont pay them any mind. You can consider them person crazy as well. Opinions are only opinions If you dont have any courage left and only want to die, you are being exactly like billions of people in this world! Nothing original but if you commit suicide, you are going to hurt all of the people who care for you, and youll lose the opportunity to be happy in hell, after making it look like paradise. Nothing is really easy, though after all, hell is hell! Do you want to try to be a hero?

No? Im sorry, but you have to. To be and to remain alive today is a task of epic proportions, and it requires real heroes! Heroes cant die without suffering themselves and creating or leaving more problems to the problematical world in which we live. Death is not a solution, so forget it! If you die now, your enemies will take advantage of the situation and steal everything you acquired during your life. Dont be nave; no one is going to suffer for you, really. Everyone will forget you in a while but youll ruin many peoples lives if you abandon the journey in this selfish way. Perhaps you dont care about anything or anyone. Ok, but you better care about yourself and change your mind. Suicide is the worse mistake a person can make! No, this is not poetry. This is reality! Nothing ceases to exist on our planet; energy passes through many transformations. How can we expect to stop existing when we die? We dont just cease to exist! And who can guarantee that thingsll be better if we give up living? Perhaps well feel worse after death, instead of feeling better because well have abandoned the painful situations of our lives. You should fear ignorance and a worse hell if you abandon the one where you are now. Things can always be worse, no matter how horrible they already are! Being so, you have to find ways to be strong and continue the battle of life. There is no other possible solution. Forget the idea of killing yourself! You have to live and suffer. Dont complain about it though; after all, youre not the only one who suffers, here on Earth! Think about those who suffer for very serious reasons in our planet. Here is not a place to be happy as we imagined when we were children. Be mature!

Ive lived many years wanting to die, but I understood I couldn't do it. I studied dreams, trying very hard to learn how to interpret them until one day, I discovered their hidden meaning! I documented my dreams during a period of two years, in three notebooks; though I didn't really understand much of what they revealed. One fine day, things began to fit together like the pieces of a puzzle and I could see the whole image produced by my unconscious. At first, it was great to be able to understand my dreams and their messages but then, the messages I received were very disappointing! My subconscious revealed my schizophrenia, so I now had to fight against craziness, too! I hadnt completely lost my human conscience, but it was difficult to wage this battle; I had to do the impossible so I became a hero! I really just wanted to die, but I understood my responsibility. If I was to fight schizophrenia and win, even though it seemingly impossible to succeed, I would be offered the opportunity to save other desperate people who have no hope to be cured of their craziness and thats exactly what happened! It happened because I was a good student and a very serious patient. I followed my subconscious directions; I studied hard, worked hard and became a hero! In so doing, I managed to conquer my schizophrenia, though I knew it couldnt completely just disappear. I nonetheless discovered that it could be controlled If you are struggling with the compelling urge to take the easy ticket out, you should follow my example because you need to continue living to do your part. Youve got something to offer humanity, as well. You have something to do here, in this place; you arent just here on a vacation! You are not free to waste your life as you please. Your life doesnt just belong to you, but also to the society where you belong, to the people that depend on you, to the God that created you, hoping that you would do something to help Him put an end to this hell in which we live, in search for happiness!

You have a moral obligation to accomplish the impossible, to be a hero, to teach something important to humanity, just like me. Everyone shares this obligation because the hell we share is dangerous and we all suffer, though differently! Some may seem not to suffer at all, but they do, of course, if only because they are alive! If you are alive, then you have needs to fulfill in order to feel satisfied. These needs are not only material You need to be accepted by society, to love and feel loved, to give and to receive, to trust somebody, to have good friends, to live peacefully and to achieve your goals many things! Its not easy! Not at all but youve got to be a hero! If you refuse to do whats necessary, you could become crazy someday, and not be able to do anything. Once your human conscience has been destroyed, it cannot be recovered. If you commit suicide, then you will forever lose your human conscience because you wont be able to care about anyone else. You may think that those who surround you dont deserve your sacrifice, but its not only for them; its for yourself, as well! You wont enter a paradise after a suicide! You wont even rest as you imagine; youll suffer more! So, dont be foolish! Accept to live and continue journey in life, no matter how much you are suffering now. Later on, things will get better for you if you courage and always respect your moral principles. even your right have

Always be human with everyone, and youll see compensation in your life, because we all receive what we give. This physical law applies universally to all things, living or not ( for every action there is an equal reaction ). If you want to die because of the disappointment or desperation experienced because of someones actions or indifference to your suffering, you need to understand that human beings are not as human as they see themselves to be. In fact, human beings possess little human conscience,
9

deriving most of their intuition from their wild side, void of structured thought and human feeling. Like a lion in the wild, its a monster that kills its prey. When a person loses their human conscience, their wild side surfaces and controls their behavior. Thats why people become crazy. I clearly recognized this tragic reality while fighting against schizophrenia. I won because I believed in God, in good and the true meaning of human existence. I knew that I was fighting against insanity, but most people do not. You need to forgive your enemies and have pity of them, since their wild side has robbed them of their human side. As I stated before, people cannot totally recuperate their human conscience after having lost it. This is a tragic reality, as yet ignored! We are not as human as we believe I became a scientist to help me solve many of the problems I faced, after continuing Carl Jungs research into the ignored side of the human psychical sphere. What I discovered discouraged me, because I saw the wild side of our psychical sphere what I call the real demon. Thats what can turn a schizophrenic into a murderer. Our selfish and proud society cannot accept this reality, as it couldn't accept the fact that monkeys are our distant relatives, but the scientific world will have to understand that we are basically wild demons with a thin human conscience. If you know the truth, things become easier. Truth allows one to understand the reasons why well behaved individuals suddenly become monsters. It explains why our world is a living hell, governed by the laws of violence and hypocrisy. Dont lose hope, because apart from the tragedy, there is a God to help us! The problem is that we wont obey Him. We dont want to suffer Of course, we have to if we want to live peacefully. Why? Because we need to suffer in order to respect our moral principles. This is the only way we can keep our human conscience alive forever! However, we very easily abandon
10

our moral principles when we want something or someone enough. We dont care about anything else; we only care for our own selfish desire. Thats how we lose our human conscience. The wild and cruel side of our psychical sphere gets to take our place and control our behavior You need to have pity on your enemies and on everyone you know because no one here is perfect. We are distanced from perfection and psychical health - you too, of course! So, why not learn how to beat your craziness and how to be good so that you might help those who dont understand. If you want to die, its because you know that this place is hell. This is the first step to real knowledge and wisdom! Youll see that here, nothing has the value we imagine. Youll understand how hopeless it is to live like common people do, not caring about their spiritual evolution. If you feel desperate, it is because you are right; you are not navely submerged in illusions, like most people in our world. So, what you need to do is to adopt a serious attitude and gain the strength to help other people win against despair and depression, as you will. Humanity needs you! You need to open peoples eyes to show them the tragic reality; you need to become an example for others to emulate; you need to develop a mature vision of our world. If we want to live happily on Earth, we need to overcome obstacles like craziness. We need to put an end to misery. We need to eliminate violence, immorality, hypocrisy and futility. Your problem is not only yours. The whole world shares the same problem. Everyone here lives, though wanting to die at many points during their painful journey Since I began helping desperate people, Ive seen the despair that exists in each life! Most people live under unbearable conditions, and face unbearable situations! How can someone achieve psychical health this way?

11

Everything here is wrong, and everyone here is a selfish coward! You should pity God too, because He suffers more than anybody else, trying to cure our global craziness! I can scientifically prove His existence to the scientific world, but this is not enough to convince everyone that we should only obey Gods directions. The human being wants to do what his own selfish conscience tells him to do! First of all, most people in our world are atheistic or only pretend to believe in God. Why? Our wild side is very powerful and prevents us from liking goodness. It makes us prefer to be completely free of the obligation to respect a wiser spirit that can illuminate us with wisdom. We prefer to make mistakes, following our own conscience, than to obey God and save our spirit. Most people hate to talk about God and the spiritual life, thinking this is only stupidity. Most people even feel a kind of pleasure in declaring that they believe in the material world which can be seen and touched. They consider those who believe in the existence of God and of a human spirit as nave souls who believe in fairy tales. However, if we want to be objective and see the truth, independently from our personal opinion, we need to admit that there are unexplained phenomena in our world that can only be explained through the admittance of Gods existence. A group of scientists clearly demonstrated this reality through the results of their research. One of the questions raised is: How can we explain the existence of so many different organisms on Earth, if we consider our planets age? The necessary combinations that allow for the development of the first live cell could not have been tried by chance on our planet; otherwise the live cell would not have appeared yet. Our planet is too young! All of the possible combinations would not yet have been tested.
12

Another intriguing point is the ability of the organism, from the first days of life and without having learned how to do so by observing the same reaction in other organisms of the same species, to defend itself against its enemies. This indicates that the defensive reaction is inherited and ready to function in the organisms knowledge base. The organism is already programmed to react in a certain way. So, we come to the following question: Who programs everything? We need a superior brain to organize and prepare the function of everything. Its nave, in my view, to try to explain everything through the natural combination of factors that occurred only by chance! So, you can see how things really are, and how we imagine them to be, according to the way we learn to consider them in our ignorant world. If you recognize how horrible the reality is where we are, you are starting to understand why this world needs you! At least you can see how impossible it is for us to live happily in a world like this! At least you can try to do something to help desperate people like yourself find not only a way to survive, but a way to overcome despair forever on Earth! We need you in order to live peacefully! We need you to help save the poor and the weak that have no rights in our world. We need your example, your thoughts, and your intervention! So, please, dont abandon this world only because it is a living hell! We need you that see this tragedy, so that we may influence this tragic reality and transform this place into one where human beings can live in peace! We need you that are temporarily unhappy in your own environment, alienated and indifferent to what is happening to the rest of the world! Please find, in the necessity to help others that are weaker than you, a reason to live! Please discover your own power and your intelligence, because you are not foolishly involved in illusions like most in this apathetic society!

As a matter of fact, the truth is that a depressed person is nearer psychical health than an apathetic person, even though this is not the opinion of the majority. In our ignorant and selfish world people believe they should only care for their own lives without caring about how other people live. This is considered a healthy attitude. But is it really? Do you honestly believe that a person who turns a blind eye to the suffering masses in our world, caring only about his own family and friends, possesses psychical health? This is craziness! Your health is in much better shape then theirs! At least you dont agree with all the horrors that exist in our world! At least you exist, and can protest against indifference to other peoples suffering! We need you ! Please live! Live to show the world what you think of it! Live your life and try to change it, even though it may seem impossible I began my career as a psychologist, achieving what was impossible to be achieved. I overcame the demons of schizophrenia! But that was not enough thats why I continued I needed to achieve other impossible things! This was but the first. In spite of the many humiliations I had to swallow, I found the courage to face them by having pity on my ignorant enemies! Out of consideration for those Ive helped, I cannot reveal the intimate details of their cases, but there is one that Id like to mention. There was a dentist who committed suicide when her baby was only 4 months old I knew her brother very well, because I had helped him face his divorce. His sister seemed to be very strong and balanced. She provided him with support, advice and help. Her suicide was a very big shock to those who knew her! I visited her husband twice per week for about 18 months after her death. I interpreted his dreams, providing him with insight into the reasons his wife died. In the end, he better understood; accepting them and the tragedy. Though he loved her, the problems that were frightening her could have
14

easily been solved, but she unfortunately lost hope. She abandoned everyone and everything Dont be like her! Dont lose hope! Dont just assume and accept that things will be so awful forever - that there can be no solution to your problems. Dont hide from the people who love you, especially if you are seriously thinking about committing suicide. Tell them how you feel; request help they have a moral obligation to provide it for you! Dont allow craziness to ruin your mind and push you to suicide! This is a crazy world where almost everyone is selfish and indifferent to the feelings of others, but there are exceptions! Youll find help if youll look for it! Courage! You have a lot to learn and a lot to do!

To those who truly believe, the pages of this ebook offer peace, comfort and relief from suffering, no matter how great. It was originally conceived and penned to help a group of friends one suffering from long term psychosis, a visually challenged individual, a Parkinsons sufferer and some whod lost loved ones. My intent was to help those who believe in the existence of God and His efforts to save us from the consequences of our mistakes; those whove understood that we can draw peace and wisdom from our pain, transforming our beastly nature into what weve come to know as human nature. These poems offer great social value. As a soothing balm on an open wound, they are like medicine to the injured soul. In the first poem, entitled: The Light of Truth, a visually challenged individual demonstrates the darkness of ignorance and the illumination of wisdom. The Reply, reveals Gods response to sinners who complain of their suffering, while the third and final instalment of this poetic trilogy, The Resurrection, features a soul who explains the true meanings of life and death. Find peace, comfort, support, courage and wisdom in the pages of this ebook for only 7.50 euros . http://www.booksirecommend.com/ .
