Simmering

Anger can go on for years
.
Every time there is a new argument out come all the old alleged crimes

No way to move on, because the list gets ever longer and over time becomes embedded in the mind of the accuser

Comes the day when one must decide to move or stay

Move out from an intolerable situation

Not easy because other factors, little things like the house, way of life, friends, children are often involved

Either fight every time an argument arises, which gets very tiring

Relapse into silence

Find other places to be, other activities that keep one away

Or choose to leave

Leaving might not be a panacea either

Financially it can be difficult

Emotionally too

No easy choice however being true to yourself is probably the most important aspect

If you are not true to yourself then life is even harder
.
Life can be very challenging sometimes but living a lie is more so
.
Choose to live with integrity and honesty
.
Wherever that might take you

Don't come close



So lonely, shy little things

Many a woman


Predators Irritable, calculating machines
.
Know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Has the perfect scenario in her head

The perfect life all mapped out

Down to the minutest detail

Big house, money, big car, second home, yacht maybe all the essentials
.
Children, middle age, happy homes the lot you name it

So along comes a man who shows interest

For a few meetings all goes well

Then out come the stories about how he is lacking this and that

Once or twice more they meet before he fades away

More loneliness until the next

And so it goes on the years passing by

Middle age beckons

Too late nothing to do

Just living life alone

A poodle and a few acquaintances maybe.

Shame really how so many never find reality
.
Never compromise
.
Never get real or honest
.
Never accept that they are the problem
.
They are the reason why nothing came of their plans
.
What a waste
.
A timeless story

Smile 35

Yes a smile every thirty five minutes please

Why 35?

Because it will stick more easily in your mind than thirty minutes or one hour
.
And why smile?

Because we alll respond to smiles

Smiles help us feel better

They are certainly more good for you than a controlled mask

So many walk around with masks on

Masks that hide feelings

Masks that project sad

Masks that project tired

Nothing will change this planet unless we all contribute

If kids living in refugee camps can smile what is your excuse?
.
Look at the smile in the photo above, so natural
.
So beautiful
.
We all look better when we smile
.
Go on you be the first and watch it go round the world

One day it will come back to you

Neat here comes my smile I sent it all the way round my country

Smile every 35 minutes please

Every day not just on weekends or with friends

Smile 35.

Huff 'n puff

Life can appear so vast and sophisticated

Agreed some of our technology is moving right along

Agreed we are understanding more

But for the rest it is this:

Get out of bed, clean, feed

Go to work, eat

Go home, play, rest, feed

Bed

Guess what
.
This is pretty well all it is

All that hustle and bustle is nothing more than all of us doing that

Going about our daily lives

So next time you think wow it's so complex

Just look closer and observe

.All we are doing is walking, sitting, and standing
.
whether it is for work or play

Just see how we all do the same things

Just a difference of taste, style and maybe velocity

See life for what it is

Go beyond the huff 'n puff

Make your life more than this.

Dangerous frequency noise

Is often all around us

And because we do not notice we can do nothing

In nightclubs often the repetitive notes put out in hip hop and other music forms are dangerous

The level of noise in most modern cities is certainly not good for us

The frequency of many noises is yet another level of attack

As are certain car and other alarms

Police, fire and ambulance alarms are often bordering on the dangerous

Undue noise and high frequencies through earphones

So what to do?

Protect your ears when aware of this assault

For that is what it is

Ensure that your own environment is not producing or accepting undue noise or frequencies

Where this is caused by neighbours then yes ask them to turn it down

Be conscious that noise does damage our health

Be more aware of noise and high frequencies as danger not just as nuisance

Lonely in relationships

Lonely people are inclined to believe that those in partnership and relationships are better off

Sometimes of course this is true

However one can be lonely in relationships as well

Relationships where there is no love
.
No communication

No interest

Often the lonely party feels trapped

Too frightened to move

Too scared to talk about it

If this is you then wake up

You did not come into this life to spend it in fear

Decide to sort things out

If this means losing the illusion of security (money) then so be it

If this means losing the illusion of status (money) then so be it

Decide to live for the moment in freedom

Freedom is so much more valuable than a life of lies to yourself and others

Be honest to yourself because at the end of the day you only have yourself

Yourself to blame if you stay in loneliness.

Loneliness is a choice

Nature and life are all around us we never have to be lonely if we choose not to be

It comes down to choices

Choices of honesty with ourselves

Do you have the courage
.
That's something else
.
Take back your life and chose to live in freedom..

Haircut

Hair salons are one of the few places where modern humans sit and look at each other

Over time that is

So one has plenty of opportunities to observe the games people play

Why do so many feel the need to be one up on each other?
.
To show off

Looks, glances

Loud comments

Boastful improbable stories

All apparently to impress unknown strangers

Are their lives really that shallow and empty?

Yes and if you should go into certain restaurants the game is the same

Some holiday resorts likewise

Nightclubs even more so

Anywhere in fact where they can be seen and heard

A little world of nothing except vain narcissism and often malicious gossip
.
Lives spent flaunting themselves in public desperate to be noticed


And inside just a relentless focus on the next opportunity to show off

Their lives relentlessly dedicated to themselves

What would we do without them?

Mmmmm - 50

'[T]he members of the Great Brotherhood . . .

are continuously acting as a Guardian Wall . . .

around mankind, shielding and protecting it against dangers both of a cosmic and terrestrial character, of which the multitudes know less than nothing.'

(ET 1058-9)

'What are these evils?

They are simply entities and powers and influences and forces which,

were they to enter our human sphere, would wreak evil upon us because they are not . . ....

in sympathy with us, though in . . . their own spheres, in their own lands, they are no more evil than we are.'

(Dia 3:293)

Political power

Is the addiction of choice for certain types of humans
.
Humans who have a desperate desire to control
.
To grab what they can and then some more
.
Never enough
.
They are happy to compromise anything in order to stay in power
,
To lie without thought

Wheel and deal.

Spin stories about themselves

Who love to see themselves in the news, on TV

Once hooked they cannot let go

How many go gracefully?
.
Few

Which is why we need strong constraints on the abuse of power

Unfortunately these are often amended by those in power to allow themselves to continue

The reason for wanting power so often has nothing more important than they want it

No idea to improve or help those they rule

Just a desire for power

To have someone open the car door

People to do their beck and call

To preen and strut

And once they have grabbed all that they or their future generations can use

One would think that they might then do something constructive

Something to help their country, their constituents

To make it a better place

But no just endless intrigue

Clinging on until the next leaner, meaner competitor comes along

Then killed or removed and off we go again

How long before we find another way to select leaders?

To elect those who understand service and do what they should do?

Utopia for the moment

Power is the preserve of the greedy

Men and women who are driven at all costs to take power for the sake of taking it

Poor world, only over time can we hope to remove the greedy
.
Slowly, slowly more light is shone on the hidden deals that are essential for the behaviour that protects greed
.
Not spectacular but slowly progress is made
.
Do we have time for this slow way of attrition?.

Scientific dilemma

Scientific man, to believe the press, is really on top of his game

Science knows this 'n that, we are making great progress in many fields

True we are making progress in some areas, often technical ones

Notice though how every time science or the journalists say we have got somewhere, awkwardly for them we then realise that the result produced has not finished the question it has just exposed more work to be done, more questions to be answered

Classic example is the genome project, which made some lucky scientists very rich, and was going to unlock the secrets of life and so many other things

It did move us forward................a bit......... and it also revealed that DNA and RNA are much more important than they had understood and no we have not unlocked what we said we would.............. so back to the drawing board.

In other fields the same, more problems, more money please, with lots of spin when things do not work out.

What is clear though is that reductionism is coming to the end of it's useful working life in many fields.

Reductionism being the basic belief system of current mainstream science

It cannot take us where we need to go

Why?

Because moving from particulars to universals (reductionism) cannot answer key questions

An example would be consciousness

Understanding consciousness is a critical area where we have moved hardly at all

Some scientists might claim that we know a lot

Not true when we cannot satisfactorily define consciousness let alone explain it

Also because we barely understand the basic plumbing that tells us what twitched where in the brain let alone why

Consciousness is the most basic and most important area we need to understand

Because it is at the root of everything humanity is involved with

Reductionism cannot handle this subject at the centre of everything

Reductionism cannot define or even explain consciousness

Consciousness is beyond mind and reductionism is all about mind

Reductionism only uses mind

So we are reaching a dead end

How to move further than reductionism?

With difficulty because reductionist scientists will fight to the death to defend their position and status

This has always been the way when old thinking no longer answers mankind's needs

So leaving aside politics where do we need to go?

Beyond the mind

How do you go beyond the mind?

By learning to control the mind

By shutting it down

Stopping mind from working

By experiencing what comes beyond mind

By letting go and listening and learning about your greater self

By learning to listen to your heart

Heart is way beyond mind

And through these experiences emerges truth

Truth that can be validated repeatedly, confirmed by others

An understanding emerges that leads to truth

Beyond mind we find that we do not need to fight nature

We can work with nature

We are part of nature

And this is very frightening to many scientists

Hence the current dilemma between old and new science..
