Dear J,
I started following this guy on YouTube. I love his videos because I like to improve my English pronunciation. This is the city you live in! Right?!
You probably have figured out that I was forced out of my job because once again I was targeted by another sociopath or asshole. But now thank goodness I don't have to work unless I want to.
I was hoping to last a few more years in the workplace so my pension would be a little bigger, but it's not possible now that eventually these sociopaths or assholes in the workplace can find out I'm a seeing and feeling person...
Since I published my book I have been dealing with sociopaths or assholes in the workplace one after another and usually, I'm able to deal with them if they don't have power over me but when is the boss, it's a different story.
My most recent boss for the last almost 4 years used to work also for the former company I worked for 9 and a half years before I published my book and he worked together with my ex-boss the bank robber... they are all corrupt, but the present boss is even more dangerous than the bank robber. It's amazing I survived 4 years working under this guy, he too used to be an ex-police officer. They are well-trained in psychological warfare to get rid of anyone they feel threatened by.
I hope you are doing well and hang in there.
Hugs from Arizona,
Sylvie
Dear Sylvie,
I started to write this e-mail the day before yesterday. and was too tired to finish it. in between I experienced a very bad situation. and it is a huge contrast, to the easy start of this mail., so you are warned... but I didn't want to rewrite the whole beginning. this is how I started the day before yesterday:
gosh, this is absolutely amazing to watch this youtube video.
You won't imagine, how near to my home and workspace this guy has brought You ;)
And the city center is not that small, so there would have been a lot more places, he could have visited. But he chose what we call the "old town" which is the part of the city where I live.
I know all the places so well and pass them almost daily.
Starting with the bridge, where folks put on the little padlocks.
Then, most amazing, he walked into the little bakery store at the end of our street. Then the place, where he eats his "kässpätzle", is a butchery, with great quality and really good regional products. they offer a lunch buffet with typical bavarian dishes each day. this is about 300 meters from the house I live in. I like both places.
Then, again a photo from the little river passing through the "old town", which look like 1000 soft cascades. And the "puppet on strings theater" is all around the quarter I live in.
And the showdown is the last picture, which is almost a still: if you look at the right side of the picture, there is a small sign, which says "new hair". and the building next behind would be the shop where I still work. it was just a thing of some meters, and he didn't film it.
so crazy, isn't it?
Well, I am sorry, that I didn't realize, that you were attacked so badly at your workplace once more. I admit, that I thought, you did publish elder postings from earlier bad times at your former job. I am so sorry to hear that. I will write more about this another time.
But now to the thing I had to experience yesterday. it is connected to the Augsburger Rathaus, which is quite near to the shop I work.
Yesterday at noon there was a young man, who did manage to climb the top of the Rathaus. He stayed there for about an hour. Police and rescue people were on the spot, etc. I went to work.. not knowing, what was happening nearby. And I saw this guy standing and moving around the statue of the Rathaus top. Which is at least 50-meter height. Specialists try to reach him by talking to him. they did some preparations for saving him. But he couldn't be reached without "threatening" him. One couldn't believe how he got there anyway.
Sylvie. you know. He finally jumped- There were quite a group of people watching this. My colleague did see it too. the spot couldn't be evacuated or protected from sight in any way. A passenger told us, that he shouted something about Jesus and Mary before he jumped. he must have been in a severe psychosis or something similar. The police closed the street for about 15 hours. And we had to close the shop. Then they opened up everything. It was Saturday. there was the Christmas market. Loads of people were on the street and came to Augsburg for shopping etc.
And one more worst thing is, that I heard that there are videos on the internet, which show the whole scenery including its end. How cruel is that? This is almost worse than the terrible thing itself.
The human race is so far from freedom and consciousness and nature, that we turned into monsters.
Well, Sylvie. I stop for now. Here it is in the middle of the night. I try to get some more sleep.
Good night to you

Dear J,
I agree humanity everywhere is full of monsters.
We are all responsible for these tragedies happening around the world. Nothing happens in a vacuum.
Dr. Bruce Perry, who directs the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, agrees with Alice Miller that violence begins in the brain as a result of traumatic experiences.
“It’s not the finger that pulls the trigger; it’s the brain. It’s not the penis that rapes; it’s the brain,” he says.
The organ that controls our behavior begins developing in the womb, and gets the bulk of its programming from our earliest relationships.
Robin Karr-Morse and David Lawrence Junior, who write about the importance of brain development in childhood, confirm Alice Miller’s theories about the brain’s use-dependence, which we already touched on earlier.
“Experiences of all kinds literally stimulate electrical connections among brain cells as well as build gray matter in the brain,” they write.
“The stimulation a baby experiences before birth and in the first years of life shapes the type of brain the child develops.
Those years are simply for developing capacities. An inadequate or traumatic caregiving relationship is deeply damaging, especially during those early years when the brain is forming chemically and structurally.
That part of the brain that allows the baby to feel connected with another person can be lost or greatly impaired.
Absent adequate nurturing by an emotionally competent caregiver, the baby faces an unpredictable tide of unregulated emotions.
… If a baby’s experiences are pathological and steeped in chronic fear early in development, the very capacities that mitigate against violent behavior (including empathy, the capacity for self-regulation of strong emotions, and the emotional modulation essential for complex problem-solving) can be lost.
As these children grow into adolescence and adulthood, impulsive and aggressive behaviors are so often the outcome.
Moreover, genetic proclivities toward mental illness also are exacerbated. Communities inevitably absorb the consequences. We ignore the root of the problem at our peril.”
More and more medical professionals are confirming the theories put forward by Alice Miller from the late 1970s until her death in 2010.
Dr. Gabor Maté, for example, confirms Alice Miller’s contention that addiction, autism, and other conditions aren’t caused by genetics, but by trauma in childhood or even pre-birth in some cases.
“The hardcore drug addicts that I treat …are, without exception, people who have had extraordinarily difficult lives. And the commonality is childhood abuse,” Dr. Maté says.
“In other words, these people all enter life under extremely adverse circumstances. Not only did they not get what they needed for healthy development, they actually got negative circumstances of neglect.
I don’t have a single female patient in the Downtown Eastside who wasn’t sexually abused, for example, as were many of the men, or abused, neglected, and abandoned serially, over and over again.
And that’s what sets up the brain biology of addiction. In other words, the addiction is related … in terms of emotional pain relief and neurobiological development, to early adversity.”
Perhaps the largest single examination of childhood trauma comes in the form of the famous Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study, conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study incorporates responses from more than 17,000 participants. The initial phase of the landmark study was performed by Kaiser Permanente from 1995 to 1997 and demonstrated how specific childhood traumas can predict problems in adulthood. The baseline participants, who ranged in age from 19 to over 60 years old, are still being studied to determine their medical status.
Revealing the “staggering proof of the health, social and economic risks that result from childhood trauma,” the study shows a significant link between a person’s ACE score and their chances of being saddled with addictions and medical problems.
Adults with an ACE score of 4, for example, were 460 percent more likely to have depression and 1,220 percent more likely to attempt suicide than adults with an ACE score of zero.
The study concluded that a strong relationship exists “between the breadth of exposure to abuse or household dysfunction during childhood and multiple risk factors for several of the leading causes of death in adults.”
I have to go now so I will write more at another time,
Hang in there and take good care of yourself.
Hugs,
Sylvie
