My talkative fictitious character, ventriloquial partner, Brooklyn Birch, his imaginative struggles into the unbelievable is often in conflict with self talk in real life. Ventriloquists Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy or Jeff Dunham, with his Dead Terrorist character present a ‘self talk’ dual between the forces of free will and the imagination. The scary history of man, with myths and magic in its backpack wanders the paths of hope, in a journey through his own perceptions of the believable that he measures against what he perceives to be unbelievable. The Green Lantern’s power allows this user of his imagination to create anything that he can think of, pots and pans, hand grenades or machine guns. Superman faces his downfall as Kryptonite, Gotham City, its great villains, Wonder woman’s amazing powers, are limited if her hands are bound by a man, so her legend states and man too like Superman with the electromagnetic forces of Kryptonite does not realize his enemy too often is within. Man's own will power may set his mind behind the bars of what he believes to be unbelievable, and stubbornly may leave it at that. In doing so he denies himself the magic of the very placebo he seeks. In his work with autosuggestion, or self talk, Emile Coue’ a physician, (1857-1926) observed that the main obstacle to autosuggestion, (positive self talk) was man’s own will power that would resist positive suggestion. My materialistic puppet seeks only the pen, the ink and the paper, sadly, at times he has little faith in the superpowers within him that would clothe his comic book hero.
