Holy cow it all got erased. Ok Betty Ford Center about 15 years ago-"scientists have found a difference in the pleasure center of the brain of future alcoholics before they take their first drink, they have less pleasure than people who never become alcoholics." The Bible mentions "God's pleasure" many times. He/they are "I am that I am" or free to do good, just because. Jesus' prayer-"Thank you for hiding the truth from those that think they are so wise and revealing it only to little children, but it pleased you to do it this way, father."(whatever that word means, I've never been a father) A liter of kittens we had- all were normal except one kitten, he was always wandering around looking for something, could not get much pleasure from socializing and meowed with anger at no one. My "sinner" friends say "that sounds like me." He was not aggressive toward others, I believe he had no viable target and was only running from the pain for 2-3 months before he was given away. I can remember using pictures and being a daydreamer to escape the pain since I was 7 yo. Heaven and Christianity made me fly. My sister told me I needed external stimuli as an infant and would rock from one foot to the next in my playpen when older. Stem cell treatment sounds good to me, I don't understand why psychosurgeries target different parts of the brain and not always the pleasure center. As I was reading the book Conversations with God II, the author says "God is going to speaak through you now," I said "give babies a pleasure pill so it doesn't evolve." Evolve into the DSM I guess. Of course I can't use this info except to hope that actual babies are to have pleasure and be ill from pain seldomly like normal functioning humans. I have deaths, suicides, decapitations, molestation claims, lives of loved ones spent in prison, victims of society, and people who's brain victimizes society in my life and would like to stop it. I have 3 suicide attempts also. Altruism is possible because of the magnitude of this issue and strong stimulants. I will be in a rage tomorrow, I hope not, but when I have nothing (depressed) I get rage. I understand that with strong stimulants I am medicating with pictures still. The opiate solution reminds me of "chasing the dragon" or increased number of receptors I guess. What about alternating stimulants and opiates?
