Conformity Conflict

1/3 Psychology experiment on adolescent conformity

Questions about story themes?

I know there are some audiences and stuff who don't focus that much on story themes. But I just think I respect a story so much more if it gives a message that actually helps us. I like a theme that I can look really deep into. So can I ask about these story themes that I'm listing out here?

- The choice between happiness and the truth
- Conformity and being different
- Good vs Evil
- The qualities and flaws of humanity
- Dealing with conflict
- Love vs hate
- Beliefs and discovery
- Dealing with Destiny
- Choices and consequences
- Your calling in life
- What it means to have power

So which of these themes would you think would be best for a story?(Explain)

And which is the best story based on that theme?

And if you can, can you tell me if any of these themes hardly have a point and explain?(I mostly found these themes from my own work)

Do you know any other story themes I could look deep into?

Personally I fall for the choice between happiness and the truth. I think many of the most popular stories out there have incorporated this theme. Much as I hate to bring it up, I use Harry Potter as an example. It has the choice between Harry taking the Deathly Hallows, or facing up to his destiny and destroying Voldemort.
Have you considered twisting two or three of them together? You could have Love vs Hate, choice between happiness and truth and what it means to have power all in the same story, it would make for a very interesting story!
I think you have a pretty complete list here!
Good luck thinking of a story

Signed, Sealed And Delivered: Cosmically Ordered Relationship Agreements

MODE of Cosmic Therapy: Keeping Your Sexual Relationship Agreements

Let’s talk about keeping our agreements in relationships. The signed documents we agreed upon prior to entering this dispensation of time. How do I know such documents exist? The same way you do. They are inexorably intertwined in all of the conflicting, complicated, and dubiously infiltrated emotionally intemperate infuriatingly mangled involvements that saturate our lives on a daily basis. You know perfectly well what I’m talking about; unless, (due to ignoring the red flashing signs of soul’s discontent) you have numbed yourself into oblivion by simply going through the motions of expectancy, conformity and self-righteous duty. In that case, the exploration and dissection of such indefinable ‘cosmic’ agreements should be the first appointment on your agenda.

Although I am accustomed to writing what is referred to as MODE of Cosmic Therapy esoteric material, the fact is: it’s in the common everyday occurrences that keeping our ‘cosmic’ agreements abide. Classic example (case in point); how many times do you use the word, “Don’t” in a conversation; most especially when dealing with your significant other? From this point on, should you become conscious of your ingrained resistance to change, the word,”Don’t” will stick out like a sore thumb. Keeping your agreements involves moving through the so called rough spots with full consciousness without harboring any resentment, guilt, remorse or regret. It also requires of you to be detached enough without being emotionally stoic (sexually anesthetized) to see the larger picture unfolding right before your eyes.

We are learning how to remember to be totally invested in our relationships without needing ‘special attention’ as a means to boost/support our impish personalities.  We must face the facts, because we are human beings that we are king daddy manipulators and tycoon drama queens. We want to believe we ‘run’ the show! Not only do we demand the security of a predetermined outcome to our fruity crafted scenarios, we demand it be accompanied by very definite guidelines and conditions. In other words, the words spontaneous and flexible do not enter into the romantic picture.  We are far too concerned over “how much energy and effort I’ve put into this union” to kick back, relax and let the sexual juices flow.

So consumed are we with the appearances of our sexual relationships, we tend to forget the purpose for their being established in the first place. To teach us invaluable lessons of which would be impossible to experience had we not invented the barrage of emotional strain attached to them. We thrive off the chaos, uncertainty and tyrannical competing episodes. Some of our darkest moments of commitment issued confrontations would give “Law and Order” a run for its money.  But, none-the-less severe, are the  jealousy/accusing (suspicions of infidelity) problems we continue to assert as if the conversation was a ‘do or die’ matter. We run into all sorts of varicose veined anxieties simply because we won’t accept our ‘cosmic papers’ of purposeful sexually designed relationship without so much bull shit attached.

Why do we persist in consuming our mind with such contradictory alienating energy? Are we really that self-absorbed that we need to be constantly entertained by and through emotional tantrums? The absurdity falls under the banner of vanity, self-serving sensual gluttony! You have certainly read or been exposed to the often quoted phrase from the Bible: “The thing I feared the most has come upon me.”  (paraphrased) Well, duh! How can we expect our life to be anything other than filled to over flowing capacity with negativity and insecurity when we breed competitive loneliness themed patterns like rabbits? The relationships problems are a direct link to your deeply embedded dread of dissolving away; becoming unimportant.

Here’s the deal for real. In order for you to get over your immensely saturated sense of insecurity which is paralyzing and stifling the potential talents and gifts you possess [because they are corroded by left over anger, resentment and fear of future loss, in addition to being tangled up in all sorts of unresolved sexual issues], and in order to release your total obsession with the other, you must accept the reality of your ‘cosmic’ signed contracts.  You must finish what you started, regardless of whether you remember signing any such relationship contracts.  You can not cheat.  You can not bail out. You must stay the course. Now, some of you may certainly ask, “But, what about divorce Paula?  Are you saying I can’t divorce or I shouldn’t have divorced?  No, I am not saying that at all. Eliminate your conversation regarding divorce when the trail is not leading in that direction. How will you know?  You’ll stay married; that’s how. (or involved whichever the case may be) If divorce was in your cosmic contract, accept it. You need not dwell in the past repeating over and over how it could have been different.  Not so. Get on with the next set of karmic instructions.

Too much energy is wasted in futile talk simply for the attachment to emotional drama. Spend your time better engaged in projects you find interesting, gratifying and surprising, too. My point is: keep your agreements. Stop whining, pining, and reminiscing over something that could, would and shall not be any different than what it is; the truth stands while the rest falls away. Who cares how many bends in the relationship road? It all straightens out after (during and in between) a while without your insistent paranoid interference. Give it a rest. It’s high time you made a quantum leap in consciousness. You are to ease off the throttle.  You will do nothing more or any less than what you agreed upon prior to entering earth. So the gig’s up! [Stop griping, complaining, and smearing the tales of woe.]  Remember: You signed the ‘cosmic’ contract; you agreed to experience, learn and stick with the sexual lessons specifically ascribed to your personal relationships, feeding your soul’s appetitive for earth’s undaunted menu of pleasure and pain.
