Oh and in the end of my dream, Mussolini was driving a car really fast and took a right into a rocky cliff and the crash caused the car to be engulfed in an inferno of flames.

I was in the back seat. Hitler was in the passenger seat and I think Musso was joking with the nervous Fuher that if the Russians blew up the vehicle, the Duce and Fuher would be dead at the same time. Then he hit the gas and went to ungodly speeds around a cliff to the left and to the right lol

Any dream interpreters here

I'm doing okay. Not quite as harried these past couple of days as I have been.

Fears have been dissolving. I feel apart from my psychological turmoil somewhat.

Last night I was up till the wee hours of the morning. Singing. I just kept singing to my desire, and demons were fleeing my body. Highly recommended to just start singing your love relentlessly.

I say demons were fleeing, because I feel so much different now, physically. An enormous weight has been excised from my shoulders, mind, and pit of my stomach.

I just feel like a young man existing...like, halfway normal. I am "hallucinating," but I don't mind.

I am at a strange peace.

I think it's beautiful that Hoss repented. We hold ourselves accountable for our actions, and there is no doubt he suffered for his, but life isn't some black and white thing where evildoers never get the opportunity to redeem themselves.

Nothing is greater than someone's enlightenment to the light side of the Force. It fills me with pride. My heart soars as an eagle.

As to your mental health, I know you're gonna be okay. Kids like us, we gotta be crazy. I know how it works opposite, how the ordinary is the doldrums.

I may look out of sorts, but I'm happiest when I feel a freak.

Let this be a time of healing for each of us. I want so badly for you to do well, Matt. You're more valuable to the world than you know. Let's imagine dragons. lol

As to your dream, I think it is signaling new beginnings for you. It kind of sounds like Fear and Loathing except with Hitler and Mussolini. And you the hapless passenger without a scheme. Sometimes you gotta let it all crash, as I'm sure you know.

How is your mental and emotional health?

But I just want to make sure I never justify bad behavior.

Many war criminals are recruited, brainwashed, and pressured enough I simply feel sorry for them, but no excuse or sympathizing with their crimes.

So, how does my mental health sound to you in view of this? I'm trying. I really am. But I know my beliefs must be treated with skepticism and sound nuts.

My mental and emotional health is good. Thanks for asking

I deal with the ups and downs of life way better than I used to. I can speak about very painful incidents in my life without the emotional turmoil that used to come with it. I’ve made peace with the tragedies. I now see them as gifts. Obstacles I overcame.

I don’t know you well Duce, but from what I can gather, it’s not so much that you are justifying bad behaviours. It’s more a case of you recognise that all humans have light and dark. Humans have done terrible things. But if we were to sit down with someone who had done a terrible thing and talk with them, inquiring as to why, we would probably see the human and understand the monster. That’s not justifying their behaviour. It’s simply understanding that they are still human.

You mentioned Hirohito in your post. He was responsible for some of the worst war crimes in the history of mankind.

When my father was 11 years old, Hirohito visited England. School children were on the streets of London, waving Japanese flags to welcome him. It was raining, and my father was waving his flag so vigorously, it flew from his hand, straight into a muddy puddle. Hirohito, on seeing my father upset by this, ordered one of his men to give my father a new flag. That’s the act of a human.

Your right about the pressures and responsibilities and brainwashing that goes on. There were some experiments done some time ago now, where groups of people were split and given various roles. You may have read about it. If I find it, I’ll post a link in a comment later… anyhoo, some of the people ended up obeying orders that meant the other subject probably died. It’s amazing what even “normal” people are capable of when it comes to evil, let alone an Emperor etc…

So, you’re alright Duce. Very sensitive, caring and a little crazy for sure. But fuck, isn’t it ok to be a bit crazy in this fucked up world?

EDIT: haven’t found the experiment I was talking about for here’s another very famous experiment that happened in the 60’s. I’ll keep looking for the other one and post it here in another edit if and when I find it

The link below is to a video that talks about the experiment (the Milgram experiment, which starts around 5 mins in), that I was originally referring to. What’s also interesting is the harm that the scientists did to their subjects. That pretty evil, if you like, in and of itself. Thankfully, scientists are not allowed (officially) to do experiments such as these anymore. But it just goes to highlight what some relatively normal people can be made to do, or think they have the right to do to others in the name of science.

Thanks!

Very much wisdom you have.

I'm glad you can love a "monster " or have compassionate thoughts about them , see their redeemable qualities, while at the same time detesting some or much of what they do.

May Kali Ma and all entities who want what's best for you continue to bless you.

Kali is a loving mother who is treated like a monster. I love her spookiness. ?

Thanks Duce. I’m not always wise, but age and experience do help sometimes.

**Matthew Mussolini** · 08-28-2021, 02:20 AM

@boubindinca,
Hirohito was actually against that war , just not enough to override what was the overwhelming consensus to be patriotic and colonize Asia before Europeans, Russians, and Americans did.

And Hideki Tojo took full responsibility for the war crimes. Hirohito actually lived as a recluse in comparison, not really publically addressing the average person until commanding a surrender.

He could have done more to stop the crimes and didn't, no doubt, but he was not the overseer of the war crimes or the one giving the order.

He was actually found innocent of war crimes and went on to become one of America's best friends, even boycotting Yasukuni Shrine when he realized class-A war criminals were enshrined there.

But I love the story you shared. In Japan that would have been great dishonor to drop a flag in the mud , which honors their nation and Sun Goddess Amaterasu.

Giving him a second flag could have meant the flag be further disrespected. Even though it wasn't disrespect but an accident.

I'll share that story again some time. Thanks.

**neonspectraltoast** · 08-28-2021, 02:33 AM

My major issue, don't laugh, is that...well, I'm just fucked.

The manly part of me rarely complains, and doesn't even accept the severity of my struggles.

So to all appearances, it may look like I know what I'm doing.

I honestly don't scheme, though. I'm basically just Charlie Brown on crack (minus the crack.)

I've got deep issues, man, that go beyond being able to talk them out.

Maybe come Monday I will just rejoin the work force, though.

You can't explain me...I can't. I'm not sensible.

**neonspectraltoast** · 08-28-2021, 02:38 AM

How do I explain to people that my mind is bonkers from what I've witnessed.

I've seen God, dudes. Not the entirety of God, but there's no other explanation for things I witness than a higher power.

Like I've said, also, so many times: I've inter communicated with the past as well.

Suffice it to say, the end result may not be pretty -- I'm bonkers! A nervous wreck! What do you want me to do, be normal! It's hard.

**SpaceMan** · 08-28-2021, 03:43 AM

how far is iowa from minneapolis?

maybe you two could be roomies and share a place

build shrines and stuff...maybe climb a few monuments before knocking them down

do each others make-up

this idea is better and better the more i imagine it

I tried to tag you on post #10 but it didn't work. Don't feel like you have to respond but I liked your Hirohito story and mentioned Hirohito was found innocent (not a war criminal) .

**Matthew Mussolini** · 09-03-2021, 06:33 PM

I have read conflicting reports about Hirohito. According to what I read he was chief Shinto priest during the war and less involved with state until after the war.

Tojo claimed the Emperor had no part in his war crimes and even Tojo said he was sorry after he shot himself, and people were putting him back together.

Hirohito did so many good things as the longest reigning Emperor in Japanese history. Japan had a greater economy than the Soviet Union, China, and was second to the USA when he died in 1989, and he was the most friendly Emperor to non Japanese leaders in history. I try to have faith he fully converted and repented (if indeed he was a war criminal).

My understanding is his involvement in state was limited and he was more a Religious leader and personification of the state until the end of the war.

The Emperor is the high priest, like a Shinto Pope. Different office than an Emperor like Napoleon, or Charlemagne, or something.

I didn't read unit 731, but I know much of the world wanted Hirohito dead, so I don't know if every source condemning him is accurate.

I am personally glad he stayed alive, because of what killing him would have done to Japan. Up to half the island archipelago may have committed suicide with their Emperor hanging.

Hirohito boycotted Yasukuni Shrine because of the war Criminals enshrined there.

Also, I feel like Hirohito is a companion in my life because I wrote out his name in a letter to him, for my Honden, but just wrote a big "H" for "Hirohito". I asked him to be my confirmation Saint and name. I then went to Mass and received Holy Communion for his soul and those intentions.

After Mass, right outside, I found a Japanese military jacket with a big Capitol "H" beneath the Japanese flag. Hours before I wrote "H" for his name to be my confirmation name, because Catholics take the name of a Saint to be their when confirmed

I see it as Hirohito being my friend regardless of his "war crimes", and he knows I don't like bullies, bullshit, or violence. :-)

That is the Jacket. I have had countless people offer me money for it more than any piece of clothing or any item I have ever had.

I have been a firm believer, and he has been one of my favorite historical and Religious figures ever since.

I simply don't know the war Criminal. I know the Emperor who welcomed me and took care of me, protected and raised my morale, helping me through difficult times with the soldiers of Yasukuni Shrine and Amaterasu Omikami, (the Sun Divinity his dynasty allegedly descends from).

Shout out to Hirohito and the soldiers, Samurai, and brave Kamikaze at Yasukuni Shrine. May they all be redeemed , wise, sacred, charitable, benevolent souls!
