More From Hans Selye

And that almost killed you?" "it wasn't deep but it got infected. infection means that the bad germs got into it. infection's the most dangerous thing there is, tom. infection was what made the superflu germ kill all the people. and infection is what made people want to make the germ in the first place. an infection of the mind.

If one admits that the influence of the outside world is essentially beneficial, the lack of such influence during sleep would tend to diminish the value of our dream activity so as to render it inferior to the mental activity that takes place when we are awake, when we are exposed to these beneficial influences of surrounding reality. but how can one say that the influence of reality is exclusively beneficial. could it not also be damaging, and could its absence not give access to qualities superior to those that we have when awake?

Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
Realize that your physical experience and environment is the materialization of your beliefs. if you find great exuberance, health, effective work, abundance, smiles on the faces of those who you meet, then take it for granted that your beliefs are beneficial. if you see a world that is good, people like you, take it for granted again, that your beliefs are beneficial. but if you find poor health, a lack of meaningful work, a lack of abundance, a world of sorrow and evil, then assume your beliefs are faulty and begin examining them.

If you get an infection, you get a fever; the fever is your body dealing with the infection. if you get traumatized, your mind and your brain have a reaction to that trauma. if you're not dreaming about it, something's probably wrong.
Dream Mind Brain
Acting is a creative process, and directing and music. i think creative people - and i take myself as a creative person and it doesn't mean you have to be an actor, a musician, or a painter - but i think if you are in a creative profession or a creative business you do have a heightened awareness.

My first interest was always music, and somehow that channelled itself into films and acting. i don't know what the natural transition of it was. i mean i acted a little bit when i was young and like any kid would in a community theatre.

I think that there's etiquette for every means of communication. people are very judgmental and have strict rules. i don't think you should end a relationship with a post-it note. i know some people who get offended when an e-mail is sent as a "thank you" note instead of a hand-written card.
Communication Mean Thinking
Deprived of meaningful work, men and women lose their reason for existence; they go stark, raving mad.
