Live, Love, Life

| New Year, January 1, 2018 |
Along with the new year beginning January 1 2018, we will also have a full moon. Full moons represent endings so this new year starts off with a beginning and an ending. What could this mean?
I will be posting a video on astrology which will help explain what the new year holds. It is entitled "Astrology 2018, The Year of the Dog, Part 1. I recommend you view it as it will be helpful when you make your plans.
What do you want to accomplish? What do you want to do? What do you want to change? Get in touch with your feelings. Listen to your heart. Don't waste time. Do what you love. Give out more hugs and kisses. Maybe it will be to put others first. I can't stress how much this will change your life.
Volunteer at a nursing home; be a mentor at the YMCA; help your neighbor; teach a skill.
How many of us are taught to put others first? When you jump out of bed in the morning (forget any coffee, sweet roll or checking your messages) you'll be heading out to the barn to feed a sick calf or a litter of kittens, a frail horse or an abandoned puppy. Your wants and needs are just going to have to wait. I've often argued that the best rehabilitation for juveniles and adults is teaching them how to care for animals.
Once you realize you're not the center of the earth you will begin to gain a different perspective and see life with new eyes, viewing yourself and others positively. You will begin to form a vibrant network with other souls and experience a kinship with them, surprised at how many are accompanying you on your journey and, even come in contact with some other extraordinary individuals who will open doors for you.
We are all victims of programming. Many of us are programmed not to trust others for a variety of reasons. It's only when we break through someone's barrier of fear that we find a loving individual on the other side. Sadly there are some who will want no part of this and keep droning along, wising up only after something bad happens.
I wish for each one of you may your dreams come true and may you find your true calling. For others, may you find the courage to let go of the old and embrace the new.
To all: Steady as we go into the new year.

Fall From Grace
 |
| "LUCIFER", Fallen Angel |
In the English Bible (KJV) the passage, Isaiah 14:12, does contain the word "Lucifer" but does not contain the word "day star," or "morning star." King James Version, Isaiah 14:12: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations"!
In the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) Isaiah 14:12, there is no word "Lucifer". Instead the passage reads: "How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations"!
In the Hebrew version, it is believed that "day star," "morning star" is the Hebrew word "heylel" and means "to shine", "shining one" or "star of the morning" and quite possibly referring to the planet Venus.
According to The Theosophy Society, a Rosicrucian by the name of Dr. Robert Fludd one of the translators charged with interpreting Hebrew into English changed the word heylel (and therefore its original meaning) to the Latin, "Lucifer." There is no plausible explanation as to why this was done especially when the Roman Language didn't even exist at that time.
*There is much discussion as to the accurate meaning of the word heylel in the Hebrew version and the context in which it was used. Some scholars believe the Israelites were mocking an enemy quite possibly the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar or his son, Amel-Marduk also known as Evil-Merodach.
When the once exalted king, Nebuchadnezzar fell, he was scorned as if he, "morning star," which is also attributed to the planet Venus, had fallen from the sky. Think of a "fall from grace".
There is also confusion as to the meaning of the word Lucifer and the context of how it was used in the KJV. If taken as a noun it means one thing and if used as an adjective the meaning changes again.
According to Wikipedia: The proper name (noun) "Lucifer" was adopted by the Christians as a term for the Devil (another name for Satan). If used as an adjective, the meaning changes to "light bringing".

2018, The Year of Hope
December 24, 2017
"Twas the night before Christmas"
This evening about 11:00 p.m., my daughter in law was wrapped up in a comforter, sitting in the recliner in the living room and looking out the picture window overlooking the lake. She had a good view. It was a clear, cold and calm night. Suddenly a brilliant white ball of light appeared in the middle of the lake and from her perspective the diameter looked to be at least two feet across. She was pretty specific about this. The lake is approximately 75 yards (200') from the house. It whooshed even though she didn't hear it (her words) through the air, moving from right to left (south to north) at an enormous speed and disappeared (like reports associated with ufos). When she explained what she had seen, I got the most extraordinary, comforting feeling. A specific word, hope, entered my mind.
She adamantly said she'd never seen anything like this before and wondered what it was?
I couldn't answer, either.
Hope is something all of us can agree is desperately needed on this planet.
Definition of Hope: Expectation, desire, anticipation, faith (www.thesaurus.com).
Whereas year 2017 is numerical value 1 standing for: new beginnings, early stages of development, that which is about to take form and 2018 numerical value 2: partnership, assimilation, agreement.
So it would appear that something spiritual (my belief) is in the early stages of development and is/was agreed upon in 2017 and will manifest (whatever it is) in 2018.
I thought about waiting to post this after the new year but felt this message of hope being conveyed was of such importance that it should be shared, now.

Facial Recognition
 |
| "Want some candy?" |
After only one year in office, we're finally able to see what the Left has carefully crafted and hidden from view for so long and it ain't pretty. In fact it's downright ugly.
There is a dark coven, a hideous layer of wickedness, an insidiousness fomenting and boiling up to the surface of something covert that is now breaking wide open.
This has happened since the President's been in office and it might be the most important thing, as we're now able to see the depth of the ugliness that has slowly been allowed to metastasize within the halls of congress, infecting both parties, the DOJ and the FBI.
We've seen The Democratic Party take a sharp turn left in which it now represents its own self interests, not doing the will of the people nor abiding by the Constitution, but focusing on complete power and control. And it doesn't matter about the truth nor who gets hurt or eliminated.
The result is the ugly, sorry and sordid scenario we're witnessing playing out on national t.v. night after night.
But isn't it interesting how good shit just happens to surface every once in a while? All along we didn't know the ugliness we were dealing with, we had no clue, we thought everything was okay, we believed our party was virtuous and honorable and we thought the movie, Insidious, was just that--a movie. Now we know otherwise.
It's a movie alright but it's not only playing out in movie theaters but in homes all across the land.
And, the actors aren't from Hollywood. We're now finding out they're really from Washington, D.C., mostly Democrats and a few Republicans.
How ugly is that?

This Morning's Tarot Spread Using the RWS Tarot Card Deck, December 17, 2017
 |
| Reflection |
I thought I'd share with you the results of this morning's tarot card reading. I laid out five cards, horizontally.
I asked Tarot, "what is the message for today?" This is the reply...
~~~
*Past Position Card Meaning: VI THE LOVERS: Marriage is a sacred and holy agreement, a commitment spoken before G-d. It is a promise between you, your partner and G-d. We have violated this commitment and, clearly, He sees this by pointing out our transgressions.
*Present Position Card Meaning: II OF CUPS: This card shows a new relationship between two people who are pledging themselves to one another (this could also be an engagement, etc.) This card can also be read as the start of a union, a partnership or an agreement, for example:
The agreement/relationship between a Senator or a Congressman with a staff member; the relationship between a CEO and his employees, etc.
*Advice Position Card Meaning: VIII OF PENTACLES: Rebuilding; concentration; there is much rebuilding ahead of you.
*Influence Position Card Meaning: III THE EMPRESS: Earth and fertility; Feminine; pedestal; pregnancy; The number III (3) represents the foundation of number 2 which is union, partnership, relationship and brings about that which is desired or envisioned. For example: Elevating marriage, womanhood back to one of sanctity and respect.
*Outcome: X Wheel of Fortune: Freeing us from the past; the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
This is a hopeful Outcome as the numerical meaning of this reading is the number Two which stands for reconciliation and reunion.

No More Free Speech - Waa Waa Waa!
I don't know when the term "Net Neutrality" was coined but it sounds innocuous enough and fair and balanced. But is it? There is a lot of hype and a lot of spin and a lot of confusion going on with the FCC's decision on December 14, 2017 to reject a government regulated internet in favor of a more open, competitive and free from govt. interference internet.
Under Bill Clinton the internet was defined as a utility (see def. below) which meant it would not be heavily regulated thus the inability of the federal government to elevate itself to one of gatekeeper, possibly censoring and enforcing it's views to the detriment of opposing views.
In 2015, under the Obama Administration, then FCC Chairman, Tom Wheeler changed the definition of the internet from utility to "common carrier, (see def. below) which had an entirely different meaning, thus placing the internet under a "regulatory" body, meaning it would be "regulated" (regulations) by the federal government.
Under the new Trump administration and the FCC Chairman, Ajit Pai (who, by the way was appointed by Obama back in 2013) the vote was 3-2 in favor of abolishing net neutrality and taking the internet out of the hands of Big Brother and putting it back in the hands of the people, thus paving the way for more competition and investment, overall, but in rural communities as well, also enabling new startups and new television channels, etc.
This new ruling also put the tech giants and ISPs on notice--Google, Verizon, Comcast, etc. that transparency is the order of the day. Before you engaged in throttling and censoring but that's a thing of the past. Heads up--It's time to put your house in order. I'm unsure if they're caught if there will be fines or what but this is a good thing because now they're under scrutiny.
It is interesting as I search the various news outlets and web sites that there's much to do about nothing. The Left is screaming that we're all doomed, is quick to accuse a Republican President along with the FCC Chairman that there is no fair internet anymore which is exactly the opposite of what just happened. --Interesting.
Under Bill Clinton we had a free and open internet, free of regulations and everyone (including the Left) seemed not to mind. Now they're screaming bloody murder that we just took the internet out of federal government control (under Obama) and handed it back to the free market.
I guess they don't like an internet that is by the people and for the people.

I hope this clears some things up. Please feel free to comment, correct or whatever.
Thanks,
1. In economics, utility is a measure of preferences over some set of goods (including services: something that satisfies human wants); it represents satisfaction experienced by the consumer from a good. The concept is an important underpinning of rational choice theory in economics and game theory: since one cannot directly measure benefit, satisfaction or happiness from a good or service, economists instead have devised ways of representing and measuring utility in terms of measurable economic choices. Economists have attempted to perfect highly abstract methods of comparing utilities by observing and calculating economic choices; in the simplest sense, economists consider utility to be revealed in people's willingness to pay different amounts for different goods.Utility is taken to be correlative to Desire or Want. It has been already argued that desires cannot be measured directly, but only indirectly, by the outward phenomena to which they give rise: and that in those cases with which economics is chiefly concerned the measure is found in the price which a person is willing to pay for the fulfillment or satisfaction of his desire.
2. A common carrier in common law countries (corresponding to a public carrier in civil law systems,[1] usually called simply a carrier) is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and that is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport.[2] A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted "ministerial authority" by the legislation that created it. The regulatory body may create, interpret, and enforce its regulations upon the common carrier (subject to judicial review) with independence and finality, as long as it acts within the bounds of the enabling legislation.

| "Where are we"? |
Picture a giant techno snowball with arms and legs sticking out, tumbling down a hill. Every so often you hear panicked voices but they're ignored as a robotic arm reaches out and hits a kill switch, tuning out the noise.
Here is a list of technological feats that were accomplished beginning with 1939. Links are included for further information:
1. The Complex Number Calculator (CNC), 1939, Bell Labs
2. The Z3 Computer, 1940, Konrad Zuse
3. DNA Revolution: 1953 - (https://www.npr.org/news/specials/dnaanniversary/)
4. Transhumanism: 1960, The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology.
5. Apollo Moon Landing, 1969.
6. Apple Computer, 1976 - (https://www.thoughtco.com/history-of-apple-computers-1991454.
7. Technological Revolution: 1976 - (https://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/MR1307/MR1307.sum.html)

Other events that helped shape humanity:
*The Renaissance: 1347 to 1605 - ( https://https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/)
*The Protestant Reformation: 1517 - 1648
*The Industrial Revolution: 1760 to 1840 - (https://en.wikipedia.org)

*The French Revolution: 1787 to 1799 - (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution)
________________________________________________________________________________
We've seen that there are evolutionary steps required in order for civilizations to evolve and advance:
Gutenberg's Printing Press, the discovery of fire, Alexander Fleming's discovery of penicillin.
Obviously some of the events mentioned above have merit and deserve much credit but there's something missing today in our quest to further improve technology. What is it?
Answer: The spiritual aspect of humanity in all of this.
We seem to have forgotten that human beings are comprised of a soul along with a mind and a body.
We've made some much needed strides and progress in pushing humanity forward (improving work conditions, encouraging liberty and freedom, innovative new machines that go faster and are more efficient and learning about our DNA. These are all important but only make up a portion of the bigger picture.
Are we being purposely programmed by a select few elite gate keepers who now fancy themselves gods and pushing us to believe as they do, that technology is the end product to all of our problems?
Could it be that we've lost our way in that ego and money now trump just about anything and when you have all you need in life you're not concerned with your compassionate, spiritual side but only interested in looking for more proven avenues of revenue such as sex, drugs and violence?
Why don't we ask the other two-thirds of humanity who are struggling with just staying alive for one more day or the mother whose baby is dying from some virulent disease or the millions addicted to pain meds or the homeless invading cities and towns if technology has ever bothered to help them.
It's time to stop hitting the kill switch.
It's time to put our gigantic egos and money aside in favor of our spiritual side for if we don't there surely will be a reckoning and we might be seeing the beginning of this now.
It's time to put the human back into humanity.

Can You Not See?
Urantia, October 8, 2017.
Teacher: The Beloved One.
Subject: “Be Ever Watchful.”
The Beloved One: “Only a soul that trusts Me enough, is willing to be led in the direction I desire for it to go and to garner the experiences needed for soul-growth. Sometimes I lead you into places to assist someone by bringing a smile, to give an encouraging word or to send some loving, healing thoughts when you hear of someone who is ill.
“All things, acts, thoughts and intentions are known in Heaven. Nothing escapes the omniscience of the Creator God of Everything. Only the worthwhile experiences, which have edified and nourished the soul and helped it grow, shall remain.
“Be ever watchful about where you may be of loving service. Be ever aware that you are God’s representative, wherever you find yourself on this earth. Awakening human beings everywhere are beginning to realize their holy calling and are becoming the peacemakers and healers on this sorrowful planet.
“This planet is also a living, breathing child of the Creator, albeit of a different order. However, she is going through much travail at present. Abuse, rape, pilfering and all sorts of other scandalous things are being perpetrated upon her innocent being. Her beautiful face is scarred and burned.
“Even her precious atmosphere, meant for all living things upon her, is being poisoned by thoughtless unenlightened mortals, who have allowed themselves to be led by greed and so have fallen into gross darkness, which a fallen prince from Heaven wrought eons ago.
“This nefarious fog is lifting, for the prince of darkness is no more. Only his death-throws are still being felt and are sadly taking with them many ignorant people, who neither give a thought to the life hereafter, nor to how they can be of loving service assisting their soul-growth.
“Truly, humankind is living through one of its most remarkable and precarious periods in planetary history. People everywhere have a need to wake up and become active as healers and peacemakers for their selves, their surroundings, and for this most precious blue orb in space.
“Think on these My words and lodge them deeply into your being. For this is the holy calling of people everywhere.”

Lost and Found
 |
| "Find Yourself then Define Yourself" |
That I wouldn’t be here today
Who will do what I do,
Who will take my place?
We never know
When fate will come calling
It can come without warning
So please stop your stalling
My advice is to figure it out
You’ve wasted enough time
In fear and self doubt
You never know until you try
You are the apple of my eye
So drop from the tree
And land on the ground
Soon you will realize
That was lost is now found

Operation "Drain the Swamp"
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Today is Pearl Harbor Day in which a surprise attack by the Japanese took place in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii seventy-six years ago which began America’s involvement in World War II.
And, once again, we find that this country is in peril.
Today we’re under attack but, this time, it is by our own politicians
who swore an oath to protect and defend her.
How many years does it take for cancer to metastasize?
We now have a president in office who is unlike any we’ve
had before.
Instead of siding with either party he is siding with the
American People, faithfully fulfilling his campaign promises and executing his
duties as President.
Apparently this isn’t sitting well with a number of hostile Democrats
and Republicans.
Instead of rallying around the president and helping him,
they are in open revolt.
And the President is calling them out, as he should.
Actually they are, collectively, helping him out by doing a
bang up job of exposing themselves as sexual miscreants (no pun intended).
President Trump is the skilled surgeon who was called in to
treat the patient. He knows that in
order for the patient to have a chance of surviving, he first has to excise all
the rot.
The malignant, open sore which is the Swamp is in the
process of being lanced and drained.
And we never would have known the existence of nor the
extent of this corruption if Hillary Clinton had been elected.
The President was called forth by the American People to do
a job and he’s doing it.
His family and administration need our support and our prayers,
not our contempt.

Not Just Your Ordinary Strip Mall
As we slowly evolve into a deeper understanding of who we are I believe these intuitive insights will expand, thus opening many doors for us.
As part of the ongoing transmission presently taking place, scientists now admit they really don't have a clue about many of the things they once proclaimed to us as gospel truth. Their ideas and postulations are only theories.
For example they now believe that there are far more planets than previously thought. That mankind may not have originated from the African Continent but elsewhere. That humans have existed on this planet thousands of years earlier than what we've been led to believe. There's even talk about the Big Bang Theory not being the way the universe happened according to science but something else entirely different. Arguments are going back and forth if the earth has a molten core or may be hollow.
This morning I envisioned a beautiful picture for a brief moment and then it disappeared but not before it indelibly left its imprint.
It was a strip mall. All the buildings were painted an antique white, no windows and each had its own front door with a door knob, not the electronic doors we're used to seeing. There was a pale blue sky with a diffused sun which obliquely painted the landscape. The picture reminded me of being in the Mediterranean. In front of the strip mall was a long concrete walkway and an asphalt drive. There was no sound, no cars, no people and no trees. It appeared to be devoid of life.
I somehow felt that the doors on each of the buildings were of significance but didn't know why until I did some research and happened across a philosopher by the name of Emanuel Swedenborg. I recommend you search Amazon or other book stores for more information on this most interesting man whose spiritual insight in general is amazing but the one concerning the meaning of doors is really interesting.
Some of what I found is presented for you, below:
A door and a door-post signify communication and conjunction. Angels and spirits have habitations which appear quite like those which are in the world (AC 1116, 1626-1628, 1631, 4622), and-what is a secret each and all things that appear in their habitations are significant of spiritual things; for they flow forth from the spiritual things which are in heaven, and which are consequently in their minds. Communications of truth with good are there presented to view by means of doors, and conjunctions by means of door-posts, and other things by the rooms themselves, by the courts, by the windows, and by the various adornments. That this is so, a man at this day, especially one who is merely natural, cannot believe, because such things are not manifest to the senses of the body. Nevertheless that such things were seen by the prophets when their interiors had been opened into heaven, is evident from the Word. They have also been perceived and seen by me a thousand times. I have moreover frequently heard them say, when their thoughts were in communication with me, that the doors of their rooms were opened, and when they did not communicate, that they were closed. ~
Merriam Webster Dictionary (Communication): A process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behaviour.
Merriam Webster Dictionary (Conjunction): Combination; occurrence together in time or space.

Pass It On
What inheritance will you pass on to your children?
We bring our inheritance with us when we're born: our DNA, personality, strengths and weaknesses. Based on our decisions in life we will choose to add positive notes to our inheritance or negative ones.
If we're born into a loving family chances are our inheritance will be enhanced by positive notes. Born into an uncaring family the chances are the notes will be sour.
Public education and religion also play a big part in shaping our lives.
Have you thought about the many ways you are shaped by who and by what?
There are many influences today on our lives, especially on young people as they are the most easily influenced and vulnerable.
In this lifetime what you allow to influence you will be either positive or negative.
So how do we tell them apart? Well it has to do with how they make us feel. If we feel we've helped someone or settled a dispute that's a good (positive) thing. If, on the other hand, we join a mob to destroy things and hurt others, that's a bad (negative) thing.
Family plays an integral role in shaping our lives especially when it comes to a fork in the road and we're undecided or just can't figure out the best thing to do.
When you reach the point in your life where you can do some soul searching, what will your result be? Your inheritance choices whether negative or positive will have an impact on others and directly result in the direction the world goes.
Do we owe this world anything? Yes, we do.
If on the one hand you just don't care about peace and making the world a better place, then you've wasted your time here.
If on the other hand you choose to promote peace, your small contribution will only multiply as others decide to follow your example.
So what will it be? Will you choose a life of bitterness, resentment, anger and hostility?
Or will it be a life of compassion and love?

The Glass Mirror

| Is it a ghoul or a girl? |
According to those guiding humanity, we are unfolding in awareness (enlightenment) on this planet where we're transcending from one level of human experience which is third dimension (separation, ignorance) to fourth dimension of understanding, acceptance and love.
It is all about shedding the old self and putting on a new one as we learn to love one another. This awareness has been taking place over thousands of years as we're provided with opportunities to move forward in consciousness or remain stuck in place.
This is where Free Will comes in. Think of a relationship in which you respect your partner. You do not wish to push yourself on him or her but allow them the opportunity to make up their own mind.
Same analogy with the Creator. He created us so that He could experience life through us, knowing full well that we would or wouldn't make the best decisions. He was aware that if He interfered in our spiritual growth by steering us in one direction thereby preventing us from finding out the folly or wisdom of our decisions, we would be nothing more than robots. He wanted us to come to know Him and learn to love Him as a separate and conscious decision on our part.
Have you noticed how rapidly we're becoming so much more aware (enlightenment) of the depth and breadth of the evil that exists in this world, finding out about things that have been kept hidden from us which are now dramatically surfacing such as the opiod epidemic in which millions of Americans are addicted to pain medication thanks in large part to the pharmaceutical industry and those in the medical profession who were willing to sacrifice their patients for a few extra bucks?
Constant terrorist attacks which have become a brutal, painful and constant reminder of just how evil, malignant and twisted some of us are; evil dictators getting the boot; sexual predators being outed; people acting strange or becoming unhinged altogether; the hypocrisy of callous politicians and the political hierarchies they belong to; the betrayal of government agencies and their promise to protect those in their care such as the VA; the selfish interests of pharmaceutical companies; the slow maniacal creep by technological giants (Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) in an effort to squelch free speech in favor of their own narrative by censoring those they don't agree with; countries becoming fed up with globalism and breaking away from tyrannical control such as Brexit in the UK or the Catalan People in Spain; freakish weather (massive flooding, hailstones burying entire towns, monster hurricanes, giant sink holes, tears in the earth's crust, mysterious booms and trumpet sounds, etc.)
The reason we're seeing so much upheaval today is because we're in the washing cycle. There's a cleansing taking place, a liberation of the soul and the ones creating all the problems know the end is near.
"And there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known".
We're becoming so aware of everything happening today because all the dirty shit is being brought to the surface for all of us to see. We can't escape it and we can't avoid it. We are in the process of being brought into the fold of knowing the truth of just how much is wrong with the world.
It's kinda like going through therapy for years and then, all of a sudden, something clicks inside your brain as you connect the dots. It's the same thing happening now.
The old way of doing business is falling away and we're beginning to see each other not only as individuals but parts of ourselves.
We've been in therapy all these years and finally humanity made a breakthrough.
It's about time.

Hot Chocolate
Something interesting is taking place within the core of my being and it's rather unsettling yet somehow hauntingly beautiful.
I feel like I've made contact with an alien being as I'm going through a whole new range of emotions, unlike any I've experienced before.
And, whatever is emerging now is doing so because it wanted to and is doing so on its own terms. Interesting. Now I can more clearly see what it must feel like to be diagnosed with multiple personalities.
I am in some sort of malaise yet, at the same time, feeling ruffled and disgruntled, angry, rattled and rebellious. I hear Z-Nation playing in the background and for some reason it is very comforting to me so I'm going to leave it on. I could never quite get the hang of The Walking Dead. You know the part I love so much about Z-Nation? --it's the wonderful and creepy music in the background.
Note: There is so much we do not know about the human psyche. There is so much we don't know about human beings. Hell, we haven't even scratched the surface yet.
And through my own meandering, my own solitary wanderings in a dark place I am now more firmly convinced that all of us are layers of experiences which then give way to emotions which then give way to memories and sit, one on top of the other like layers of jello in a parfait glass. These places are then locked away and lie dormant for years until they're awakened by some mysterious force.
Okay, back to what I'm feeling now... I want to run away and hide in the corner of a quaint and cozy French cafe with green shutters and savory smells of coffee and pastry where I can indulge in a hot chocolate or savor a deep dark espresso and wait for Gerard Depardieu (one of my all time favorite actors) to make an appearance.
Or, I'll just saunter down the street and into the old library with the hundreds of dusty books on the shelves with the floor to ceiling windows and musty tapestries and the small sitting rooms and the smell of old things and have a smoke, watching it curl into soft fronds in the still air while somber and stealth afternoon shadows creep across the floor.
Maybe I'll go up to my hotel room and order fresh baked, buttery and flaky croissants and a bottle of $500.00 red wine vintage (very old) and Roquefort Cheese and a tart and sweet jelly as I lean out the window watching the traffic and pedestrians coming and going below.
Or, maybe I'll go out and buy that Range I've had my eye on all these years, you know, the one with all the bells and whistles so I can cook to my heart's content or maybe I'll fall for that beautiful French blue one that stirs up memories from other incarnations.
I'm disappearing, like a ghost who feels no longer welcome anymore.
I'm here but I'm not here.
I'm softly folding in on myself and it doesn't hurt but feels like home.
Is this what it feels like to be crazy??????
Is this what it feels like to meet an alien from another planet?????
If so it's beginning to feel like normal whatever normal is.
Maybe crazy is what being normal is all about. Food for thought???

Bearing Fruit
We are all waking up to so much dirt and filth going on in Washington, D.C., Hollywood and elsewhere. The gatekeepers have done a good job of keeping all of this from the public. In the process we are finding out that the elite will do anything to keep their power and control. I believe what is happening is part of the clean up, a fundamental process that is necessary in order for all of us to see more clearly the ugliness that is so much a part of our lives and this planet.
We are in the midst of throwing off our shackles of ignorance and embracing the true light of our existence which is not control or power but peace and joy. We are slowly moving from the dark ages into enlightenment as the universe quietly and profoundly fine tunes us.
Humanity is here to nurture and grow itself. What if tomorrow there was no more war, disease, poverty or violence? Everyone on this planet would be able to live in peace with enough to eat and drink and a roof over their heads. We would be able to see ourselves differently, not as takers but as givers. And a baby's life would not be snuffed out but welcomed as another tiny branch on humanity's tree, cherished and allowed to grow and prosper for the betterment of all.
Part of the awakening that is occurring is finding out that we're not alone (we never have been) and in the not too distant future (I'd say within 5 years) another event will unfold in which we will finally come face to face with our neighbors from the stars.
This will be the final achievement that will solidify our place in the universe, thus completing humanity's transformation.

Alone
I hear a small voice crying out for help
But, no one hears it
This planet is home
But only for a short time
There is so much work to do
Does anyone feel the pain, the anguish
I do when they look out across the world
And see the emptiness, the void
When I know that our world
Could be so much better for all of us
If we could just bring ourselves to make a break
From the illusion
I feel so all alone
My attempts to awaken those
Who slumber under this monstrous weight
Will continue
But sometimes I wonder if it’s worth it
I feel so all alone
I can’t do this without you
You and I are in this together
This is our home
We are all connected
We are all connected
Through love, in pain and in heartbreak
But we are being kept apart
By those who wish the illusion to continue

Home Sweet Home
 |
| And it Ain't Even Halloween Yet |
Something monstrous is imploding. A grotesque, deep, dark and ugly sinkhole is caving in on itself, filled with a sickening stench, in a death spiral and crying out, "help me, help me." But this is the last thing we want to do. We want this thing to slither back to its Home Sweet Home, the Underworld.
The ground shakes under us as we watch its cover being blown and its swollen underbelly ripped apart and exposed. It is now in disarray as a thicket of confusion consumes it, sensing impending doom. It is like a caged animal now and make no mistake, it is not going down without one last fight.
It gathers its minions in an effort to divert and disrupt, pointing fingers, laying blame and always on someone or something else, as it becomes totally unhinged for being unmasked. It recoils in anger and outrage for being exposed and resorts to its old allies for cover and support: scripted talking points, left wing videos, talk show hosts, the MSM, and its allies in Congress.
So I say to all of you, beware the next couple of weeks (maybe three but I doubt it) for there is nothing these people will not do in order to remain in power.
Its tentacles reach out, groping and grasping for anything to hang onto. Problem is, there is nothing to hang onto anymore.
What is happening in Washington, D.C. is about time and there is only one person who can take the credit for draining the swamp and that is President Donald Trump.
Never in my life have I seen how bad Washington, D.C. is and how much of it is undercover, its nefarious and dangerous deeds intentionally being hidden from view.
To those who may think that draining the swamp is a joke and no big deal, I can assure you that it is not.
What we are witnessing is history in the making as one man begins the take down The Clinton Cabal, a cesspool of deception, corruption and lies. It has been allowed to operate without any scrutiny and oversight for years. The question is, why?
To all, it's time we took our destinies into our own hands and not leave them to egocentric and reckless politicians, don't you think?
It's time we all pay closer attention to what goes on in Washington, D.C. because we now know that very powerful people have been playing with American lives, -yours and mine.
Say What?

NO FEAR
This morning there was a soft energy around me, feeling like some "thing" was lifting. (I would even go so far as to say some sort of "passing?" During this energy I envisioned a pale blue sky over my head (I'm in my house) and this shade of blueness kinda reminded me of Carl Sagan's description of earth as a "pale blue dot." This subtle energy was like taking a bed sheet, shaking it out across the bed then watching as it gently lifted up and settled back down. Maybe this could be a reset of some sort? A few minutes later I felt a soft brush across my temple as if some one's finger were touching me. I reached up to see if it was a stray hair or something else but there was nothing there. This is significant because it is confirmation that something, indeed is happening, about to happen or will happen in the not too distant future. Interesting to see what will be on the news tonight or in the next couple of days. This energy was all about things taking place that are part of the universe's Master Plan. The last part of the message, kinda like saying goodbye was, for us not to fear as this plan will manifest as scheduled.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
I was born in 1944, one year before WWII ended. After the war, soldiers weary from battle and
grieving families were finally able to reunite, after having sacrificed so much
for so many.
This is a nation founded on principle. Definition of principle: a rule or code of conduct. When this principle starts to break down, it can result
in devastation and wholesale loss. Just
look at what is happening in Venezuela.
This nation came into being because men and women of all
color, faith and courage went through hell, finally rising up after years of abuse
and mistreatment at the hand of England’s King George. They were tired of being heavily taxed, threatened
and hauled off to prison or worse if they dared defy the King.
Finally, they had had enough.
The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773 in which colonists threw an
entire shipload of British Tea overboard in defiance of the King. They were protesting taxation without
representation. As Englishmen they
objected to a British Parliament taxing them instead of their own, duly elected
representatives.
Two years later the American Revolution ignited.
This country is of noble birth. Its hallowed ground reeking of the blood of millions
of American patriots, who continue to sacrifice for us today.
Today it is acceptable and fashionable to label anyone who
doesn’t happen to agree with an opposing viewpoint as “racist.” A term popular among the left wing. Today it is fashionable to bash, to trash our
veterans, our flag, what this country stands for because it aligns up nicely with
leftist dogma. Today it is fashionable to watch a United
States congresswomen lying her way to notoriety and catapulted into the news, after
brazenly and shamelessly eavesdropping on a private conversation between a President
of the United States and a widow who just lost her soldier husband in
Niger. Today it is fashionable to hide
your face and engage in violent protests, demonstrating and accusing, burning and branding others unfairly, because you feel you’re
“entitled”.
I’ve got news for you:
If anyone is entitled in this country, it is our veterans.
Today, we’re finding, it is fashionable to attack all things
American especially those Americans who belong to a sacred brethren, a long line of heroes, continuing to sacrifice so much, for so many.
To those who have a grievance, to those who have an axe to
grind, to those who believe they’ve been wronged, to those who have a long list
of injustices, to those who don’t give a damn about this country but continue using
her to their benefit I say this: I have
compassion, I’m an American, I feel your pain, I’m an American; I am tolerant,
I’m an American.
But as an American I will not stand idly by when I see you taking
my country down and acting Un-American.
I will continue defending her while I call you out.

Fear LESS
Ever since the Las Vegas Massacre on October 2, I've been backpedaling. I was doing such a great job, connecting with my inner self (wounded child). Tapping into that unknown part of me and receiving positive feedback. Somehow, though, the shock in Nevada rerouted me and I'm back to square one.
One worthwhile thing I've learned from accessing my buried karma is learning I have the capability to actually take charge of my life. Fear is part of what makes up a human being but is vastly misunderstood and categorized as mostly bad. Actually, I believe it's a combination of good and bad. Fear is what kept the first humans from being hunted down, torn apart and then eaten, thousands of years ago. Fear is instrumental in helping you find the courage to confront your worst demons. Fear of the Unknown is what propelled men into space.
I have found, through meditation and literally talking out loud to fear that it is actually listening.
There are two parts to a human being. One is fear and the other is bravery (endure, meet, surrender). By surrender I don't mean giving in to fear by becoming fearful but calling it out, acknowledging that it is part of you and then literally start talking to it. Start a dialogue with it. You'd be surprised what a cleansing experience this is.
Fear and bravery are two separate tiers but interestingly enough, they have much in common. Fear, if left unchecked can consume and ruin a person's life. Bravery is all about tackling something fearful and learning that it will continue to exist as long as you allow it to. You have to learn how to put fear into its rightful place.
Another huge problem is we're not being taught how to do this. When you attempt to conquer fear it's through trial and error. Some things work, some things don't. You're literally on your own.
While I was "high" (positive) I was feeling like I've never felt before in my entire life. I was able to look at myself from the outside and do a full, internal body scan. Some things I liked about me and some things I disliked. But I realized that they were all part of what made me, me.
Forgiving yourself is another part of coming to grips with yourself. In order to forgive yourself you first have to know yourself and deep down. This is called Acceptance.
Let's stop pretending that we're all fearless and brave; we can handle anything until the time comes when we can't. That's when life teaches us we need help and how vulnerable we are.
What I am going through is a humbling experience because I know that it's for a reason and once this barrier is broken (fear) and I am able to come to grips with it, On My Own Terms, I will be unstoppable.
When we can learn to forgive ourselves and accept ourselves, how much easier it will be for us to accept and forgive others. There's a lesson in here for all of us, don't you think?

September is Suicide Prevention Month (I Didn't Know, Did You?) A Very Good Article

The Reaper
You are the only one capable of bringing meaningful change to your life and you're running out of time.
No one else is going to do this for you. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. You knew what you needed to do a long time ago, you just didn't do it. Was it our fault? Was it somebody else's fault? Of course not.
And those who haven't made a decision actually have.
Today is an icy, bone chilling 23 deg. F. with a pale blue sky, diffused sun and blackened, gaunt trees dotting a bleak landscape. I'm outside with a light shirt on and I've been outside awhile. My whole body is now shaking and shivering uncontrollably, consumed by deep, penetrating cold. I can't feel my fingers anymore yet I continue to stay outside when I could just as easily turn around and walk into the house and stand before a warm fire.
The Apocalyptic Messenger has been unshackled and now roaming at will, having been issued a pardon by our collective id (subconscious). It's mission: slash away at humanity's soft underbelly, exposing the rot, the decadent decomposition, exposing the foul and pungent malodorous stench lying deep within.
We all knew, didn't we, that, somehow Enlightenment (revelation) would come to this planet?
Have you noticed how much is being uncovered now with celebrities and politicians unable to talk their way out of things like they used to, instead they're being stripped naked and the real truth of who and what they are exposed for all to see?
In other matters, how many of us are stepping forward now, unafraid, refusing to believe what we're being told, because we know the truth is being concealed.
We're really catching on.
Why now? Why are we able to see things in such a different light?
Shadow government (yes, it does exist); Shadow People (yes, they do exist); Shadows, shadows, everywhere.
And now the Shadow People are being exposed for what they are. Human Parasites.
This reveal is all part of a plan to undo what was done in order to elevate humanity to a higher level of universal, compassionate and conscious understanding.
We are waking from our deep slumber.
~~~
Note: For those curious as to why I would end this post with a poem that makes no sense to anyone but myself, I'll tell you why. This poem by Robert Frost struck a chord. I found myself there, in that deep, dark forest. And the description of the landscape fell in line with The Reaper on his mission of Purification as a Watcher, a silent sentinel projected into the scene and, on the darkest evening of the year. There is no mention of stars or the moon, just darkness. Kinda like where the world is now, don't you think? But, the last lines really got to me: "But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep, and miles to go before I sleep." --moral: It's only just begun.
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
