Mmmm, not quite as systematic as that. But I do see your view and can

relate. I can see where so many thoughts would cloud your mind. I

hit my target 80% of the time, but i take notes like mad because I am

afraid I will forget something in all these ideas. So I do share some

of that view. Especially the perfect solution being forgotten...But I

have just came to accept it as the dynamics of the production process.

Stress? Definitely not stressed, things could not be better

production-wise. I can take things one step at a time without a

problem. I just have a hard time calming my mind down. Meditation

has worked wonders but thats a whole nother can of worms...

What annoys me, is that when I start working on things. I can get

easily excited. Like maybe its an adrenal thing. I try to stay calm

while mixing because I feel it is key. And I try to listen to what my

body is telling me. But sometimes I just get slammed with it if I am

doing extremely well. When I am done, with the session my mind is

still pushing like a train yet I want to relax and forget about it.

When it does hit full throttle... the air seems very fresh. This is

why I think its adrenal because it feels much like coffee.

I do have a little paranoia and worry about something with this

mercury thing... Im sure I am just being silly here. I am a bit

afraid that some of my talent has been fueled by this mercury problem...

-----------I don't recall hearing anything like that with mercury, but in HTI

under silver, Andy does say that people with silver poisoning tend to be in the

arts. With metals affecting the brain, I think lots of things are

possible.---------Jackie

You are trying to solve a problem for a project - while walking home

you think of a perfect solution - think of the processes and details

of execution. About half an hour or so later (when your attention may

have been diverted to other things in the meanwhile), you try to

recollect what your solution had been - and you just cannot recall it.

Is this just a result of too many issues you may have been dealing

with at the same time or might it just be brain fog etc. due to

mercury toxicity?

---------Mercury hits short term memory the hardest, according to Andy on page

46 of AI. He also discusses how the different metals affect memory in HTI.

This happens to me when answering questions on the board. We may have discussed

something not too long ago, and you think I'd remember the details about

somebody from the posts, but alot of times I don't, so I may ask the same

question of you again. And then somebody who hasn't posted in a long time will

come back, and I will remember details about them very easily. Kind of strange.

And I also know that when I hear something I feel like I have taken it in, but

then when I have to recall it and tell somebody else, it's hard for me to do

this. Like if I go to the doctor with my dad and then try to tell other family

members what the doctor said. So I know my brain is very much affected by

mercury/metals, and I agree with Andy that it affects your short term memory.

Now if you're wondering how I remember the stuff I do remember on this board, I

think alot of that comes from being on here a long time and the repetition of

stuff has finally sunk in ----------Jackie

Josh. Paranoia is definitely a mercury thing. Your amygdala is

becoming over-active. I found that late in ALA round, around day 9, I

would be come very very paranoid, imagining treats where there were

none. I've learned to recognize that it's coming on when I start

imagining someone trying to break down my door. (The length of time it

took for me to start having these kind of symptoms gradually increased.

Nine days became 12, and I can now go on for 15 days without a problem.

Once or twice I even got to 19 - but that was too much for me, 'cause I

was exhausted.)

As for talent being related to being poisoned - that's a fantasy that a

lot of us have. It's probably the other way around. Bright people are

more affected by this stuff. That is the case with lead - it clearly

depresses IQ much more substantially in the upper part of the

distribution. That is stated flatly in the literature. It _may_ be the

case for mercury, though the effects are different - it has more the

effect of making us crazy through erethism, a kind of syndrome of

hyper-sensitivity.
