Amber clearly "thinks" in pictures. She has a thought or wish and she then labels it as a "vision" giving it more power. She's not psychotic, just...well, I won't go there...

well her vision didn't come true. Maybe her and Jameka's ***There should be two good people at the End* will be prayed on some more now

I surely hope that this post will stay here but lately I've been reading articles on how various drugs affect the brain. Often a person will feel very spiritual and part of Earth and God. They will actually FEEL the connection. it is not a vague concept. it is like a tangible thing. When I see Jameka Pray, I see a person praying to God. When I see Amber pray, I see a person talking to someone who is in their head, or in the room with them. On topic, the "visions". When a person has done drugs and had their reality altered, it can be hard to differentiate dreamstate, daydreams and wishful thinking from real life. The details in Amber's visions makes me think she had a dream. Often when I'm being led or I know something is going to happen...it is more vague than being Shown a Vision. Deeply religious leaders and others who are very connected to God have visions. I feel bad for amber. Truly I do. Hopefully when she is out of the house she can seek further therapy and maybe do missionary work on the streets/ drug addiction places. She is very caring.

Sun, how can she fit that in, what w/her "free" nursing school, being "America's Next Top Supermodel," not to mention her motivational speaking gigs... (or as she call it: ispirational.

well, we should know this week whether Amber's boyfriend is still around. I would imagine they will do a segment on Amber and her life outside fo the house like they usually do.

I wonder how "spiritual" Amber would be if Jameka wasn't in the house. I think its a case of monkey see, monkey do. And I think her "visions" are totally made up so she seems more spiritual to Jameka. If she has a boyfriend and he's been watching the feeds I hope he's running away as fast as he can.

I love your vision/drugs explanation post, Sun. I think it is spot on with what is going on. She mixes her wants with her dreams and calls it a vision. I have dreams about things that I really want (like a teaching job in Michigan...) but would NEVER call them "visions." I wish they were! LOL. I also agree with you Twinkie, she seems greatly influenced by Jam's beliefs. I don't ever say G-D it. Amber says it frequently, I feel if her religiosity was REAL she would never say that. IMHO. ETA- spelling check

GD is also a term I would never say and yeah, Amber says it all the time. I hate it every time I hear it.

I'm "spiritual" and not really "religious" and I have NEVER said G.D. Ever. And I cuss a lot. A whole lot. I grew up around the construction trade industry. It gives you colorful language early, and makes it a part of who you are, no matter how much you try to stop or how much education you have. I've always considered G.D. disrespectful and low class and just one of those words/phrases that shouldn't be said. The N-word is another, as is the F-word for homosexual people, and the C-word for women...among others (I don't need to go through them all, but pretty much any ethnic, sexual, cultural or religious slur also falls onto that list.) That doesn't make me better than Amber, just better informed.
