Audio Server

Simon Says:
Looks like I'm having a little trouble with this audio server. I guess that's the way it goes when you try and get by without spending too much. I have a few audio clips that I'd like to be able to stream and eventually I'll get it straightened out.
I've been reading a really good book on the Zen way of dealing with depression and I'd like to recommend it: "The Zen Path through Depression", by Philip Martin. I haven't finished it yet, but so far it seems the main premise is to be the observer and try not to resist your feelings, rather examine your feelings and discover what it is that your mind is trying to communicate to you. My interpretation may be different than yours though so I recommend reading it for yourself.
I've been going through a lot of therapy, group and individual. I've been participating in group therapy for years now and at first I couldn't see how it could be of any help. Now I'm beginning to realize that slowly over time I am changing my outlook. I didn't want to be labelled as having a mental illness and therefor resisted seeking help for it. Seeking help is the first step to acceptance and the only way out. Must be careful though, there are different routs one can take and they go in very different directions. For me getting caught up in court ordered treatment centers and half-way houses is not the way to go! These places are not in the business of helping people, rather they are in the business of making money and I think we all know what that means.
I'm in a good place now, very professional and am making some progress. I'm beginning to see that I've been living in a world of negativity all my life, a world that we all live in. There is another way though one that I have a hard time seeing. I have a hard time seeing it because it is not the main stream society of America. I believe we have to find different sub cultures to be healthy. Anger, greed or jealousy and fear are the cause of most of our pain and suffering. Our capitalistic society thrives on these three basic emotions. We have no choice here, we must make a living and therefor be competitive. Our private lives however, need to be lived in a different way.
