- Me, Myself, and I
- So, What do y'all want to know??
Let's start with the name Shaymin. It stands for Stimulation Heals All Young Minds Influenced Negatively. My chosen Emcee name also derives from Shamanism which was once a staple as far as religous practice was concerned in many Native American tribes and is still practiced in many different corners of the world. The Shaman is the elder wise prescence in the tribe who would work magic to heal the sick while simultaneously being committed to fulfilling his own fantasies before ever being worried about defining his role in society.
How does this pertain to my music you ask?? Well first and foremost I feel as far as the youth of today is concerned their is a lot of clouded and shrouded minds that need healing. Music and how it relates to and grips the youth has been relegated to the equivalence of assembly line entertainment these days. Especially in Hip Hop!! - Music

Recognising and Healing Malignant Shame
Garrett O'Connor, M.D.

Introduction
There is widespread support for the view that many contemporary Irish attitudes and behaviours have their origins in colonialism.2 However, no comprehensive hypothesis exists to explain how this evolutionary process might have taken place. This article attempts to integrate and build on previous contributions to the field by using the trans-generational model of parental child abuse to explicate how subjugated peoples (in this case Irish Catholics) could be damaged psychologically by political oppression (in this case British colonialism).
Children who are subjected to severe and prolonged abuse by parents or other authorities tend to internalise the abuse in the form of a behavioural syndrome characterised by pathological dependency, low self-esteem and suppressed feelings which I have called 'malignant shame'. As adults, shame-based children are likely to abuse their children in much the same way as they themselves were abused by their parents, thus transmitting the syndrome of malignant shame to the next generation. And so on down the line.
Could a similar process exist at the cultural level whereby prolonged political or governmental abuse of an entire population might be internalised as malignant shame by the institutions of society, and transmitted unwittingly to subsequent generations in the policies and conduct of government, church, school and family?
There is reason to believe that such a cultural process has been endemic in Ireland for many centuries, and that its destructive consequence of malignant shame (low self-esteem, pathological dependency, self-misperceptions of cultural inferiority and suppression of feelings) is a fundamental cause of contemporary psychological, social, political and economic distress in the country at this time.
Clinical experience with families suggests that a combination of psychological and spiritual recovery is an effective treatment for malignant shame, and also perhaps the only way to prevent it from being transmitted to the next generation. If malignant shame should prove to be a significant problem for Ireland at a national level, then a similar prescription will undoubtedly be required, but on a much larger scale.
Background
In April of 1967 I was the Director of the Psychiatric Emergency Service of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. The riots following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King were in full blast, and the hospital, situated in the centre of a black poverty area, was in a virtual state of siege.
The emergency room was crowded with casualties, some of them physically wounded, others mentally distraught. Among this latter group were several young black men who had been arrested for looting, drinking and 'running amok'. As Psychiatrist-in-Charge, I made a policy decision not to accept these individuals for treatment because I did not consider them to be psychiatrically ill. Instead, I asked the police to bring in the young men who were not looting and rioting, but staying at home behind closed doors watching the riots on television.
My policy got me into a lot of trouble with the police and the hospital authorities. They did not concur with my view that socially aggressive behavior by young black men after the murder of Dr. King could be considered a psychologically normal response given the long history of racism, segregation and cultural abuse that blacks had endured in Baltimore and other parts of the American South until that time. I wondered if the young men and women who showed no external signs of anger were, in fact, exhibiting signs of post-colonial stress disorder?
