FERS Disability: imagining and daydreaming about medical recuperation won't happen in real life unless you take action

OPM Disability Retirement and the Demythologization of the Process

February 16, 2015

Beyond being an ugly word, Spinoza attempted it, but closer to the heart of a flawed hermeneutical approach, the theologian, Rudolf Bultmann spent his career attempting to separate the conceptually inseparable narratives encapsulating historical content, context and the meaning behind miracles and metaphor. All processes are mysterious, until detachedly analyzed, devalued or debunked. Some merely throw up their hands and reject a subject in its entirety; others spend a lifetime in trying to understand it, and thus do cottage industries emerge. […]

Disability Retirement for Federal Government Employees: The Pruning Mechanism

June 9, 2014

It is one of life’s anomalies that plants flourish and thrive with targeted pruning; too much dismembering, and the sap of life can wither; too little, and the nutrients required for new growth will be diverted to wasted areas of decay, thereby allowing for greater susceptibility […]

Medical Retirement for Disabled Federal Workers: Transfinite Cardinals

May 28, 2014

It is a concept invented in order to avoid the inherently problematic implications of the “infinite”; yet, it clearly means that it is “not finite”. It is meant to avoid a type of exclusive disjunctive and attempts to equivocate and obfuscate, implying that it somehow goes beyond the finite but refuses […]

Medical Retirement for Federal Workers: Achieving the Objective

April 17, 2014

We often hear of people striving to achieve “the good life”, or perhaps, sometimes it is characterized as the “easy life”; one of leisure, pleasure, lack of worries (financial or otherwise), and at least in evocative pictorial representations, surrounded […]

Disability Retirement for Federal Government Employees: Rubik’s Cube

March 29, 2014

Why we spend so much time of our lives attempting to return and reattach ourselves to that which once was, is a puzzle of human nature. Comfort zones and childhood safety sensations of warmth and security; and yet, often the reality is that, to cling to something […]

Postal and Federal Disability Retirement: Real Things, Once Upon a Time

March 22, 2014

One wonders the precise point in historical time when Man decided to consciously escape the harshness of the objective world. It is perhaps when Kant identified the bifurcated world into the phenomenal world which we experience through sense perception, […]

OPM FERS/CSRS Disability Retirement: The Hearty Laughter

February 17, 2014

Laughter is therapeutic; it is an expression, often spontaneous, responding to an event, a circumstance, a joke; sometimes, merely upon meeting an old friend and becoming flooded with reminiscences of mirthful times long ago. It is a response of physical, […]

Medical Retirement for Federal Workers: The Jump from Thought to Action

February 5, 2014

There is a wide chasm between thought and action; and, while many can deceive one’s self by remaining mired in the activity of thought, it is the gauge of the objective, physical world which validates the efficacy and resulting consequences of one’s actions, which makes […]

Disability Retirement for Federal Government Employees: The Healing of Time

January 6, 2014

Time is a peculiar phenomena; if it is based upon the movement of objects or thought, then the entity oblivious to one’s surroundings remains unaffected. For the human animal, the reliance is based upon a societal norm of sequential and linear movement, with multiple tracking […]

Early Medical Retirement for Disabled Federal Workers: Joy of the Mundane, Though We Knew It Not

November 12, 2013

The very concepts of “joy” and “mundane”, placed within the same breath, the same sentence, creates what is tantamount to an anomaly, a self-contradiction, an oxymoron, or at the very least a questionable positing of an invalid proposition. […]
