Have you been watching the fascinating confrontation between Rosie O'Donell and her fellow co-host? I must admit, I do not watch TV, but I did watch the confrontations several times on the computer-to see what the fuss is about.
I would like to discuss this- with a psycho-analytical Orgonomic "View" and take an indepth look at communication from the core and not the surface.
Rosie O'Donell's blow up on the "View" show appears to be motivated by her love for peace and hatred for war, Right? If only communication could be that simple.
If we look at scuffle in terms of Dr. Ellsworth Baker's chart on Orgonomic perspectives of politics and personality analysis we can arrive at some life-changing conclusions. I believe that this war banner is merely (not entirely) a smokescreen with Rosie's dissatisfaction with the current anti-gay U.S policies-influenced by religious conservatives. In fact, she has a war going on herself-with an activist agenda in the U.S. (I am not saying that her vision and hardwork isn't important or unwarranted) While I too support acceptance, love and understanding for gays in our Western culture. I fear too many "peace" minded people are embracing the same anti-American views tied to violence that is much worse and more threatening to homosexuals than what we have in the U.S. right now. In regards to gay policy-rather than embracing global perspectives that turn out to be the ultimate demise and destruction for the U.S.- I believe we must not give up on the United States and our ability to grow and change as a very young country.
The message that Rosie delivered was that Hasselbeck is responsible for all religious conservatives and Elizabeth was used as Rosie's emotional punching bag for all of Rosie's pent up anger and resentment towards the religious political agendas of Republicans (however, we must remember that not all Republican's are religiously conservative, hate gays or are anti-abortion). I have done research and have found out Rosie has been very poorly treated by Religious people-people were protesting at ports for the cruise for gay families that she set up. So, Rosie has a right to be angry-doesn't she?
Here comes the manipulative schizophrenic conversation-a problem that we all suffer from, not just Rosie. Rosie is focusing on the war effort to get her feelings out- (I make no judgments about this- and I am not saying pacifism is not an admirable quality).
However, when she called Hasselbeck a coward-she may have been indirectly saying- that liberal minded republican's are not doing enough to change their party from one of religious hatred and bigotry-to one of acceptance and greater understanding of gays. I want to be careful here, because when we talk of acceptance and tolerance-and say we introduced Islamic Sharia law here in the States in order to placate Muslims and help them feel comfortable, I believe this idea will end up harming the female homosexual cause and hurt it more than help it. It is in deed a choice of which is the greater or lesser of two evils-and we must say, obviously, no political system is perfect.
Rosie has said she uses anti-depressants because she is upset about the Columbine tragedy...and maybe she does believe that, I don't doubt she has a loving kind heart. But, she also maybe using those drugs to subdue her anger and try to cope with the split between Motherhood/activism/and political trysts. In fact, Rosie's current method of communication is based primarily on biting sarcasm and rhetorical statements. This works well in stand up comedy, but I believe it is in fact distancing her from her goals for gay rights and causing her plight to be misunderstood. If Rosie is like this on medication, I would hate to see what she would be like without it. This is why I advocate people staying on their meds until they are ready and willing to reach out to their core and deal with the cause of their emotional pain..and of course, some people's pain is so unsurmountable and great-they may never be able to reach that point.
When we are talking about emotional health, which is a reflection of physical health-We need to evaluate our feelings everyday, become more aware of our core-and this includes manipulative conversations -in essence-lying to ourselves and others.
I am also surprised that Rosie keeps referring to this woman as her friend-I could plainly see that Rosie hates this woman-and it appears in the episodes, that Rosie is so bitey and on edge, that she would like to jump over the table and claw Elizabeth's eyes out. I am not saying that friends never fight or disagree, but given the time frame that Rosie has known this woman and what their relationship at least on screen has been like-in my own assessment-they do not look like friends at all.
It would be more convincing if Rosie came out and admitted she had some type of resentment toward this fellow cohost. How about, "I just don't like Republican's and I just can't handle being around this woman" and came clean...What happen's is that, we all end up being very confused-We see she is angry but doesn't admit it...she says she is for peace but her presentation is war like, we hear her words but then we are told it is not what we heard or thought...
I think Rosie hides her hurt with her hardened sarcastic exterior, but I see pain and sadness in her eyes even when she smiles. I wish for her sake and for her childrens sake, that she will be able to come to honest terms with her feelings. She should not feel bad, embarrassed, or hated because she is rightfully angry. But this is where so many people go wrong-believing they will be judged for their true feelings-they lie and hide and seek to create a false alter ego, full of defenses and detours..but where is the core in all of this?
What I learned from Rosie's situation- is to try to remember to express myself from my heart, from my core, and not through my head, my pelvis, my rage and aggression. We are all guilty of this, and I still do it more often than not... but let's continue our journey toward the honesty and enlightenment of truth healing.
This reminds me of my Orgonomist's advice about my husband and I both getting treatment, His words a tender reminder of my perceptions and deceptions. He said before we came to see him and boarded the plane,
"Do NOT expect to use orgonomy as a means to "stay together" with your spouse, in fact, many people may find out that the person they thought they loved is in fact a person they truly hate."
So I ask you, what is hate? What is Love? What is war? What is peace?
In this trying time in the U.S.A. where many families have lost family members to cancer, war, and even religion... I believe we need to keep a clear head-and explore the possibility of honest communication and balanced perception...(if it was only that easy!!)
Ok, I have been told by some people that Elizabeth on the show is very snobby and had it coming-even with that being so- I like Rosie and I feel sad to see her hurting, she does so many nice things for so many people. I believe her life would change if she became more honest with her feelings-and that would also draw more compassion and understanding to the homosexual cause.
