Rabbi Emmanuel Rabinovich at a seance

african negroidIt is dangerous to mention the Negroid racial category. It must be made clear that the breakup of a relationship was possibly rooted in a reckless but positive discussion of members of this race at an Ethiopian restaurant last Saturday night.

As has already been said, Negroid is a racial category – one of the three “great races” – divided again into subtypes by the Caucasoid and the Mongoloid races. Populations included in the category in the 19th century and early 20th century were the black people of sub-Saharan Africa, the Australian Aboriginals, the Melanesian and Negrito. During the 1950s, the Australian Aborigines, the Negritos, and the Melanesians, as well as the Papuans (the inhabitants of New Guinea) were referred to as the Australoid race.

The concept originated with the typological method of racial classification and is still used by many anthropologists, especially physical anthropologists working in the forensic field of craniofacial anthropometry.

Thanks for all the convoluted Wikipedia content on the Negroid but what about Caucasians? Can we talk about them at McDonald’s? Will talk of this race possibly break up a relationship?

Skin Stripped from this Caucassian in order to avoid offending those of a darker skin tone!

Blumenbach_beautiful_Georgian_skullIn scientific racism, the term Caucasian race (or Caucasoid, sometimes also Europid, or Europoid) has been used to denote the general physical type of some or all of the indigenous human populations of Europe, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia.

In common use in American English, the term “Caucasian” (rarely supplemented with “race”) is sometimes restricted to Europeans and other lighter-skinned populations within these areas, and may be considered equivalent to the varying definitions of white people. The term continues to be widely used in many scientific and general contexts, usually with its more restricted sense of “white”, specifically White American in a US context.

What does that have to do with Rabbi Rabinovich attending a seance?

seance circleRabbi Rabinovich is an authentic fictitious character created by anti-semites, Even so, it is very rare for a Rabbi to attend a seance.

The seance involved a meeting of people who gathered to listen to a spirit medium discourse with and relay messages from the spirit of a dead relationship. Rabbi Rabinovich is always interested in helping couple get together even when they don’t want to. A little known fact about relationships is that they often break up. Sometimes the break up is mutually decided upon. Other times the break up is initiated by one of the partners usually under false pretenses to supposedly cushion the blow to the other party. Often the person who initiates the break up will do so because they have no real interest in being in a long term relationship and find a “reason” to break up to assuage their conscience.

Mud happens. Rabbi Rabinovich is as fictional as this relationship was.

There are more members of the Negroid racial category in the National Basketball Association. That is verifiable. It is not fiction.

Just a little joke before I end: A young blind boy is being tucked into bed by his mother. The mom says “Now Billy, pray really hard tonight and tomorrow, your wish will come true!”. Billy says, “Ok mommy.” and goes to sleep. The next morning, Billy wakes up and screams “MOMMY! I’m still blind, my wish didn’t come true!“, the mom answered, “I know – April Fools!

After a break up, what happens to mutual friends

muddy waterFirst you have to understand my view which is that almost everybody is only semiconscious and to a great degree selfish and mostly self interested.

Relationships are worth nothing without a mutual commitment to growth. But when friends try to deal with a breakup they usually make things worse. They don’t always know what to do so they generally take the easy way out.

More mud… Emotions and egoistic thinking muddy a break up and lead to unclear waters.

Martin Goldstein creates spiritual adage

Here is a spiritual adage offering

I like it and think it is true. It is also reasonably original.

There is only one way to change because the ego makes change impossible. Keep your heart open for a miracle. Why a miracle? Because miracles are impossible. So allow for the impossible to become possible. From the sayings of Martin Goldstein.

What do I mean? Am I just a design?

Viktor Frankl was a holocaust survivor and psychiatrist. He developed the practice of Logotherapy which is a type of psychoanalysis focusing on a will to meaning as opposed to Nietzsche’s and Adler’s “will to power” or Freud’s “will to pleasure.” Frankl warned against “…affluence, hedonism, and materialism…” in the search for meaning.

These are the principles of Logotherapy:

  • Life has meaning under all circumstances, even the most miserable ones.
  • Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.
  • We have inalienable freedom to find meaning.

We can find meaning in life in three different ways:

  1. by creating a work or doing a deed;
  2. by experiencing something or encountering someone;
  3. by the attitude we take toward unavoidable suffering.

Viktor Frankl was a creator of meaning because he was a survivor of destruction and meaninglessness. He kept himself busy and then he died.

Frankl may have coined the term Sunday Neurosis which is depression caused by an awareness in some people of the emptiness of their lives once the working week has completed.
