Let us speak about assumptions and consider what they are and why people do this. While I sit in my chair and see what people say and how they react to it and I feel sadness. I cannot understand how they can't see the harm they are inflicting on others. They assume and there are many things associated with that word. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assume" target="_blank">http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/assume</a><br /><br />Now the basic definition says that to assume means that you are uncertain, that you take for granted that it is true. By this very definition it means that you are not coming from a place of facts. So when you assume something about someone or something you are not in a place of truth. So by your very actions your cause people to assume that what you say is true. </span><br />

To look beyond what their friends and family tell them and to find out for themselves. This is the only way to live your life. You take the time to research things no matter who you hear it from. Because through your belief you may be causing someone pain. You may be causing someone to question themselves or their actions. I do not enjoy hearing assumptions from people. Many times what I hear is someone who is trying to bluff their way through things and this helps nobody.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw</a><br /><br />I believe that we are here to help other people. That to assume that because someone is say interested in violent video games that they are violent in real life. That is an assumption. If someone is from the Middle East they are not automatically a threat or a danger to anyone. This is what I see the media broadcasting lately. Assumptions without proof. They have been doing it for years now and people just eat it up as if it were the finest buffet. Completely unaware of the harm things like this cause over time.<br /><br />Take time to get to know people that look different than you. Extend a friendship to someone you think you may know fits into a certain category and find out for yourself. Do not risk the welfare and contentment that can come from the truth. There are so many resources out there. They are usually freely available and all you have to do is motivate yourself to go look.<br /><br />Realize that you may be sheltered and protected in your world. Question all things. Simply because someone put on a suit and speaks with authority does not mean that they are right. Look to whom they speak for. Find out where the money is invested. Do not sit there passively certain that the world is a certain way. It is not the way you imagine. This world is filled to the brim with possibilities, challenges, friends, experiences and an amazing future.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;">We are a beautiful planet. We need to go find out the truth and stop pretending that everything is ok. It will be, it can be. But you must start searching for truth and start having a voice for people to hear. If not now then when. </span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;">The Benefits of Meditation<br /><br />Closing your eyes and centering yourself can be the most helpful passive thing that you can choose to do. During times like now when the world seems to be moving at such a quickened pace at the cost of quality. While people seem to have more demands and less patience it is time to fully understand meditation and its benefits. When you look around and watch things sometimes you can become overwhelmed by all of the sadness and anger and lack of compassion that you see. There is always hope however it may seem distant it is there. Focus on the positive things in life. There are so many that they should keep you busy for a long time. There is no need to panic, no need to lose yourself in this consumerist world. Slow down..</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Take a deep breath and relax your whole body. Stop trying so hard and find the beauty in stillness and a calm mind. You may be having thoughts at the moment. Some might be telling you that you can't do this. That this is too hard. That you can't sit still for that long and so on. Yes you can. It is in fact easier than you may know. Meditation does not ask that you sit still for hours at a time. This can be accomplished and can be seen in just a few days should you take the time to try.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Don't give up before you begin is what I always say. I used to be one of those people that said *no i can't do this my mind races and i can't sit still for that long* Then I tried. I sat for as long as I could and tried to relax and it did not work the first few times I did it. But then after a while It did begin to work. I learned to breathe from my stomach instead of from my chest. That helped me significantly. For years I had been having trouble with asthma and because I was breathing from my chest I was missing some of the air that I could have drawn into my lungs. Once I began doing this I stopped panic breathing and began to fill my lungs with so much air. Doing this allowed me to relax further than I had ever done before.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">The positive effects of meditation are many. You can find yourself feeling more relaxed and it will help decrease the toll on your nerves that you experience. It helps you to raise your seratonin levels and therefore making you feel better. You can have a place that is al your own and yours to create with pure mind and pure love. You can find yourself in a state of prayer and you can feel closer to your god or gods. Many of us wish for these kinds of benefits in our daily lives and I am hoping to provide you with the means to do so for yourself. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Things to focus on while meditating can be as different as each individual. There are many ways to do this but I will tell you how I do it. First thing I do is turn off the phone, any and all chat boxes I may have open and just play some quiet background music with no vocals. I sit quietly and as comfortably as I can. I breathe deeply from my stomach several times to calm myself. Then I close my eyes and imagine the world the way I would like to see it. I imagine the suffering in the world is healing and that people are inherently good and peaceful people. We do not need such stresses in the world. I include all beings in my wish for a more loving world. This is just one thing that you can incorporate into your meditation. Visualize it and see it. Breathe slowly and gently and deeply over and over until you finally begin to feel that tension ebb away into nothing. I do this everyday and it has been helping me slowly. Now I look forward to doing this every day.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">The joy of it all is more amazing than you can imagine. Sitting there quetly in your own mind you can do such miraculous things. See the world as you wish it to be. Take that love that you feel and let it blossom slowly outwards. Be the calm mind and the dedicated spirit of good in the world. Find that quietly at first and live your life in peace and focused calm after a while. You will notice things that perhaps you had not before. Do not worry what people think this is for you. You can do this and find a tranquil place even in the middle of the day. If you are at work and you have a break set your phone on vibrate and go to a quiet corner outside of your work maybe and do this for five minutes. Do it at your desk and do it with your eyes open and have a book in your hands perhaps and pretend to look at that and relax. There are no end to where and how you can do this.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #45818e;">This is part of an Osho Meditation<br /><br />“Start being aware with day-to-day, routine actions, and while you are doing your routine actions, remain relaxed.<br /><br />“There is no need to be tense. When you are washing your floor, what is the need to be tense? Or when you are cooking the food, what is the need to be tense? There is not a single time in life that requires your tension. It is just your unawareness and your impatience.<br /><br />“I have not found anything — and I have lived in all kind of ways, with all kinds of people. I have always been puzzled: why are they tense? It seems tension has nothing to do with anything outside you, it has something to do within you. Outside you always find an excuse only because it looks so idiotic to be tense without any reason. Just to rationalize, you find some reason outside yourself to explain why you are tense.<br /><br />“But tension is not outside you, it is in your wrong style of life.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Meditation postures can help you significantly on your path to learning. Remain sitting comfortably and you can focus your mind and relax. Standing and meditating can be done but it is a bit more difficult. However sometimes you must do it if you are in a subway or waiting in line. Try to focus your mind on the people around you and how their lives are much like yours. Find that which you have in common with your fellow human beings. Laying down and meditation can be done but it does tend to lead to sleep.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Meditation is free and you can do it anywhere and anytime you would like to! This is the cool part about it really. It costs nothing you need not buy special equipment or wear anything special at all. All you need is yourself and a place to sit. I add music in the background and sometimes incense to add another emotional connection to this time. The incense helps me to focus my mind and relaxing into a meditative state.<br /><br />Meditation can truly help you in this life. </span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75;"> I am writing this because I have been one that enjoys darker humor, fashion, artwork, movies and music and yet I give as much as I can of things that are traditionally positive. This post is for all of those people that are beautifully dark and macabre and yet have light hearts, actions and voices. We are not evil we just have a different way of looking at the world. We are fascinated by a spiders web or a bats wing. Negative actions can be performed by the most positive appearing person. Just as positive actions can be performed by those that adhere to a more Gothic genre.</span><br />

<span style="color: #674ea7;"> I was still a child when I noticed beauty in things that horrified my parents. I really found things others seem to try to ignore pretty or lovely or poignant. I remember my birth mother asking me what colors I would like for my school clothes. Without hesitation I suggested purple and black. To which she responded *those are funeral colors!* so time went on and in passing the subject of flowers came up an I was asked what my favorites were and I said lilies. The response to that was a shriek of utter shock from my mother who said *Those are for funerals! What is your obsession with death ??* Personally those thoughts had not even entered my mind at all. I just knew what I liked and when asked I gave a truthful answer. </span><br />

<br /><span style="color: purple;"><br /> This went on throughout my formative years. My choices in music, dress, art, dance and movies were usually deemed macabre. Yet there is indeed beauty in such things. To look at a sugar skull and see anything but art or a homage to the dead ancestors of families in Mexico is odd to me. They are lovingly carved by people that believe in *The Day of the Dead* This is tradition and they do not seem afraid. Horror movies are just that to me..movies. I collect my movies and organize them and by far horror is my favorite genre. Yet in real life I would not harm anyone.</span><br />

<span style="color: #741b47;"> I have experimented with painting my room black to black poster board and electrical tape when told I was not allowed to paint. Where there is a creative will and all that. :) I created a dead barbie garden in my back yard in Austin Texas. I remember my landlord coming over and asking me if it was a bit early for Halloween and I said no..everyday is Halloween. I truly enjoyed creating those dolls. I used anything I could think of to design them. Nail polish, electrical tape, scissors, hypodermic needles, pins and so on. Combine that with at least five different kinds of Christmas lights or fairy lights as they call them in the UK and you have awesome! We used to go out there and talk and drink and smoke and laugh.</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c;"> There was a book I read once that struck a chord in me. By an author called Konstantinos http://www.paganpresence.com/Konstantinos.html In one book he relegates humans into four categories. This is a bit of oversimplification and yet it is true. If you think of people in four basic groups certain archetypes form. Light good, Light Evil, Evil Lights and Evil Darks. These are basic concepts that almost everyone can understand. </span><br /><br /> <span style="color: blue;">Good-light </span><span style="color: #0b5394;">is the soul-type that most people are really referring to when they mention or think of the concept of good. But one doesn't need to walk a spiritual path to be in this category. Anyone who is moral, loves brightness and spreads joy honestly is good-light.Some of the worlds religion founders, such as Christ and Buddha, were of this soul-type.</span> <br /><br /><br /> <span style="color: #444444;">Evil-light</span> <span style="color: magenta;">is the sinister companion to good-light and the trickiest of the four groups to identify. Those of this soul-type seem at a glance to be moral individuals. Evil-light people may gather around them all the trappings of asceticism and harmony, or just what the masses perceive as being bright and positive. But behind the facade, the evil-light have given up trying to be better individuals. Consider a corrupt televangelist. Evil-light televangelists would surround themselves with light themes and choir song, yet bilk their followers of millions, claiming that the gathered cash is going toward something other than a new Mercedes or Tudor mansion.</span><br /><br /><br /> <span style="color: lime;">Good-dark</span> <span style="color: #38761d;">who succeed at the ultimate goal of spiritual mastery do not attract as much attention, being mostly silent about their accomplishments.Who are these good-dark? When the essence of the shadows and darkness empowers you, yet you don't feel evil, you are good-dark. Such dark tendencies may have manifested in you early in life, affecting more than just the way you dress, the books you read, and the music you listen to. Yet you do no harm.</span><br /><br /><br /> <span style="color: #660000;">Evil-dark</span>, <span style="color: #990000;">the true opposite of good-light, is the category that most people simplistically label as evil. Remember, the four categories can manifest in people in varying degrees. In the realm of the occult, evil-dark individuals can be the often harmless devil worshipers who value material goods and fun over their souls and the welfare of others, or can be the more sadistic individuals who perform black magic and human sacrifice. In the everyday world, common criminals often fit this category, although they can just as easily be evil-light</span><br />

So you can see that these are basic categories and yet apply to many beings. This I look at as a guideline. I have met people that appear to be dark or evil if you like and yet do quite a bit of good in the world. Their message may seem dark but if you really pay attention what they are doing is really helpful. That is me in many ways. Yet recently I have been craving color in my wardrobe, home, food and diversity in my music as well. But deep in my heart I am and always will be that perky glitter goth that danced freely at Elysium in Austin Texas. I used to dance all night long. Yet did not hurt anyone.<br /><br /><br /><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> <span style="color: #351c75;">So the next time you see a little dark morbid girl or boy do not assume that they are evil or intend you harm. Don't do this any more than you would ignore the man looking seemingly *normal* with bad intentions. There is no evil look, no typical criminal nor any acceptable assumptions. These people that you see wearing Marilyn Manson t-shirts are not evil or wasted. They are inspired by music or perhaps rebelling against what they see as cookie cutter people. They see the world differently but no less passionately than you do. </span></span></b><br />

God I still remember being the typically dressed because I had no choice small town girl reading all the horror I could get my hands on. The librarians saved the best ones for me in a stack. In Balmorhea Texas if that little library still exists it most likely has mostly my name in the *checked-out* portion of the book. I am proud of that. I was the goth girl but didn't know it yet. Living in books and getting away from people on my bike to find solace in nature..that was me. I remember sneaking Ozzy Osbourne and AC/DC tapes from my parents. Then changing when I heard Enya and Enigma and adding this to my love of nature.<br />

<br /><br /> Life is funny sometimes you know? I still love the macabre art and horror movies and piercings and black and purple. I appreciate the artistic hairstyles that I see teenagers wearing now. There are still and will always be goths in this world. Now I also love Buddhism, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Being vegan, fighting compassionately for animal rights and hugging trees. Yet given a chance I will still go to a goth club once I am near one. :) I miss those hours creating amazing art on my face, lacing up my knee high platform boots with my mad scientist coat and a top hat with my Kitty eared umbrella :D<br />

What is love, I believe that this particular phrase has been pondered over and over. I think it has been dissected to such a finite detail. Yet I look around me in this world and I see some people attempting to practice loving one another. I see them stumbling and falling to the ground. They reach out to feel something..something that they need. <br /><br />Here is the beautiful part. Love is all around you. It is in every moment you live. It is in everything that you see and touch. Do you know how? Life is love. It is so simple. You must take the time to love yourself and that can happen in time. <br /><br />I want you to remember that no matter what wrongs you have committed. No matter what wrongs you think you have committed..in the end you can be redeemed fully. You need only accept what you have done and move forward. Do not linger in the past. There is no past. There is only the present. This beautiful present that we find ourselves in. You are not a bad person in any way. We all make mistakes in life. I have made mistakes in life. None of us are left untouched by this truth.<br /><br />Where we make our mistake is lingering over what we did. To make a change you need only try a different way. You need to learn to adore yourself and others. You need to look around and see brothers and sisters. They are all related to you and you to them. Regardless of color, religion, sexual preference, location, age, weight, height. None of this matters. What matters is how you love them. The joy that you show in each human being. They are we are all of us wonderful creations.<br />

<br /><br />There is a chance to find happiness and you need only look as far as you. Stop what you are doing and read what I am saying. I am thirty seven years old and yet I am still learning and climbing further and further bringing as much joy and light and love to each person that I meet. Sometimes they smile in return and that is a wonderful gift. Sometimes they do not smile and may in fact give me a funny look. That too is ok. That is not something you should react to. Do you best to help others. Give good advice. Give advice you have experienced and know that is your perspective and it is valid. Just as it is valid that someone can have a different perspective and also be right.<br />

<br /><br />I am enjoying this journey that I am on. I wake up with a purpose of projecting as much good into this world that I can. Until my dying day I will give to others and love them. I do not see anything but another person. I see none of these so called differences. They are superficial at best. I have friends of every possible color and identity and yet they are all humans and I love them.<br /><br />You can find a happy place so to speak. I did..I wandered feeling alone for years. I was angry and heartbroken and betrayed. Yet I was living in the past. When I finally let it all go I met the love of my life. When I finally accepted that I will live right now he came to me. He is a beautiful person in every possible way. I look into his eyes and I see the light of a divine soul. He holds my hand and I feel a warmth take over my body and I feel safe. Alexi is the most wonderful man I have ever met. I would do anything to see him smile. I want him to know that he is my light. He is my cuddly kitten. He is the one I want to travel this life with. He works so incredibly hard and yet he comes home and loves me gently. He is all that is good and soft and wonderful. Yet I did not meet him until I stopped hurting myself with my thoughts.<br />

<br />This can apply to you. Whatever you did in your past it is over. Whoever you hurt if you can tell them that you are sorry or show them. But move on from the guilt. Accept that you have much to learn and do so willingly. Look past all that is on the surface and learn to see people instead. Look in the mirror and say I love you. Say it loud! Dance a little and realize that no matter what you look like this is how you are supposed to be. You are lovely and wonderful all on your own. There is nobody like you in the world. <br /><br />Look not to television, magazines, radio, other people for validation. You do not need that. You simply are. I accept all and love all. I want to give you some insight into how. It is not going to be easy at first. But relax and breathe and know that you are love. You are the embodiment of love. You are a kind person. You really are even if you do not see it.<br />

<span style="color: #38761d;">It was a car accident. Nothing

were better off, trust me. </span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“You died,” I said,

<span style="color: #38761d;">“There was a… a truck and it was
skidding…”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Yup,” I said.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“I… I died?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it.
Everyone dies,” I said.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You looked around. There was
nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the
afterlife?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“More or less,” I said. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Are you god?” You asked.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“My kids… my wife,” you said. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“What about them?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Will they be all right?” </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“That’s what I like to see,” I
said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good
stuff right there.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You looked at me with fascination.
To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a
woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher
than the almighty. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be
fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have
time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be
secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any
consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Oh,” you said. “So what happens
now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Neither,” I said. “You’ll be
reincarnated.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Ah,” you said. “So the Hindus
were right,”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“All religions are right in their
own way,” I said. “Walk with me.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You followed along as we strode
through the void. “Where are we going?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Nowhere in particular,” I said.
“It’s just nice to walk while we talk.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“So what’s the point, then?” You
asked. “When I get reborn, I’ll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my
experiences and everything I did in this life won’t matter.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Not so!” I said. “You have within
you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don’t
remember them right now.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I stopped walking and took you by
the shoulders. “Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you
can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you
are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or
cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it
back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“You’ve been in a human for the
last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your
immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start
remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“How many times have I been
reincarnated, then?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to
lots of different lives.” I said. “This time around, you’ll be a Chinese
peasant girl in 540 AD.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Wait, what?” You stammered.
“You’re sending me back in time?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Well, I guess technically. Time,
as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come
from.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Where you come from?” You said.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Oh sure,” I explained “I come
from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you’ll
want to know what it’s like there, but honestly you wouldn’t understand.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Oh,” you said, a little let down.
“But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have
interacted with myself at some point.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Sure. Happens all the time. And
with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don’t even know it’s
happening.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“So what’s the point of it all?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Seriously?” I asked. “Seriously?
You’re asking me for the meaning of life? Isn’t that a little stereotypical?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Well it’s a reasonable question,”
you persisted.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">I looked you in the eye. “The
meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“You mean mankind? You want us to
mature?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“No, just you. I made this whole
universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger
and greater intellect.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Just me? What about everyone else?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“There is no one else,” I said.
“In this universe, there’s just you and me.” </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You stared blankly at me. “But all
the people on earth…”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“All you. Different incarnations
of you.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Wait. I’m <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">everyone</i>!?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Now you’re getting it,” I said,
with a congratulatory slap on the back. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“I’m every human being who ever
lived?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Or who will ever live, yes.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“And you’re John Wilkes Booth,
too,” I added.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“And you’re the millions he
killed.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“I’m Jesus?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“And you’re everyone who followed
him.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You fell silent. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Every time you victimized
someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve
done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by
any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">You thought for a long time. </span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Why?” You asked me. “Why do all
this?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Because someday, you will become
like me. Because that’s what you are. You’re one of my kind. You’re my child.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“Whoa,” you said, incredulous.
“You mean I’m a god?”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“No. Not yet. You’re a fetus.
You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time,
you will have grown enough to be born.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“So the whole universe,” you said,
“it’s just…”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">“An egg.” I answered. “Now it’s
time for you to move on to your next life.”</span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">And I sent you on your way. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">We are everyone..therefore we must practice kindness towards everyone because we are being kind to ourselves.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .25in;">
<br /></div>

The world I see ahead is one imagined and dreamt of by all souls that feel.<br /><br />This world that is coming has been a fragile dream to many people.<br /><br />Cared for and passed down through generations as something that can be.<br /><br />On December twenty first know that it is not the end of the world in a literal sense.<br /><br />It is a letting go of the ego. It is sharing and allowing in the light that resides within every single person.<br /><br />It is a withdrawal from the greed apathy and fear that grips so many.<br /><br />It is the knowledge that we can and will change the world into a far greater place.<br /><br />It is knowing that we will take the hands of those long forgotten and denied redemption.<br /><br />It is making a choice to stop participating in things that cause other beings pain.<br />

<br /><br />The beauty that can be held within the palm of your hand is just as important as the largest things your eyes can comprehend.<br /><br />We are stronger than we could ever know and we will come to realize our strength together.<br /><br />We will grasp the hand of our fellow human being in love and generosity.<br /><br />These things will be reciprocated a million times over.There will be peace and communication.<br /><br />Those that cling to physical things such as money as their only source of happiness will awaken and let it all drop to the ground.<br /><br />Those that deny their true selves will come to realize that that is the only way one can possibly be.<br /><br />When you look out of your window the day after you must realize that you have far more power than you ever knew.<br /><br />You must know that your voice matters and that the ripples and resounding echoes that you create resonate with someone.<br /><br />Those people that hear your voice will spread that to others. Nothing you do is in vain.<br /><br />All of your choices from this day on are something you must consider carefully.<br /><br />You have an ability to make a change.You must rid yourself of ego in recognition of such things and simply be the beautiful shining light that you are.<br /><br />Let the fear fall to the wayside and know peace and love. Share this with everyone you know.<br /><br />Even those that seem not to listen have been changed because of you. Never forget this.<br /><br />There is no separation among all consciousness there is only unity.<br />

<br /><br />Cling not to resentment and instead know the beauty in forgiveness.<br /><br />Let go of your intolerance and begin to accept and be tolerant of all differences and all beings.<br /><br />Material things bring a fleeting pale glimpse of happy. When you open yourself to spiritualism and the grandeur of the unity and wisdom of the world. You will then know the true happiness.<br /><br />The world does not end it is only the beginning to a change from Fear to Love.<br />

We will know the promise of abundance for all and hatred no longer. We will walk hands held together and love each other regardless of petty superficial differences. We will walk with our kindred companion animals and not even think of harming them. Not for fur, milk, for leather for war or leaving orphans behind to die. We will be a rainbow of beauty and a warm front upon the stillness of a mindful life. There is love and joy and a world waiting for you to accept it and love...reject fear.</span></span><br />

There comes this vision in my mind tonight as I meditated quietly. I saw a sunflower a whole field of them or so it seemed all staring up adoringly at the sun. Back and forth they swayed in their glorious vision of the sun. But pull back on the image and suddenly you see that it is only the bright light of the television screen shining down false light into them and as you watch you will this ice melting off of them as they slowly died . Lacking love and light they grew cold. You will that Ice gone and it is and suddenly all these beautiful flowers are suddenly free and incredibly beautiful feeling the real warmth of the sun upon their petals.<br />
<br />
Those sunflowers are human beings held in a hypnotic gaze,animals also enslaved by an life of slavery. All beings need love and light. They all need warmth to grow and spread their wings. They all need love to fill their leaves with life.They follow the sun as if it were a god itself. But that is all illusion.<br />

We are the lights. The indigo children of the prophecy foretold upon the tongues of nations that abound upon the whole of this earth. We bring the warmth and the love. The compassionate spirits that are fully unfurled and basking in the glow of truth and beautiful feelings of forgiveness wash over us. We carry this and share it freely from inside the very depths of the unknown. We can see truly and know when there are those awakening. We can witness it as the beauty that can only shine from a soul free from lies and fear.<br />

<br />
We are those that have walked the earth so many times that our feet are worn from the earth which we walk upon. The skin of the earth mother frays and tears and yet holds on with strength. She holds on knowing that there are those that can see her pain. There are those that can hear her cries of pain and cannot be ignored. There is only love and light. This is the truth of our existence.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
We follow the path of peace. Harming none as we travel. We follow the path of truth and share it where we go and there is a light in our footsteps as we approach. We travel with universal love gathered in our hands. We let this go as we walk among those that are harmed and ravaged by the things that are done to them.We bring them to the truth and that is through us you now see truly.<br />

Reading this all of it resonates with myself and my partner. But where we differ is in how we were raised. My partner was raised by a very loving mom and step-dad in comparison. They were caring and kind but had little patience but they did not understand him they did support and love him.<br /><br />What I am writing is in no way a call for pity but a simple fact. I feel I must share this with people that know what it is like to be us. My parents were abusive and lacked any and all support for me. When I won a tri-state area competition for persuasive speaking I was told that second place was not good enough. She then took it and threw it in the trash. When I won a competition for a martial arts competition in El Paso she did the same thing. She refused to stand in a picture when i graduated and told everyone that she wished she had smothered me at birth. So to say that they did not support me was an understatement. So my voice cracked as I read this. </div>

<br /><br />The thing that matters however is that we found each other from across the ocean. From one continent to England I traveled to be with my love. Thanks to Second Life I took the chance to become We. Though there was no support it still happened. Feeling alone and not understanding a thing of what I was only that I did not fit in. That I was too damaged to be loved. Yet this happened. <br /><br />So many of us I have met are lonely and feeling alienated. Yet we still shine through as the beautiful indigo children that we are. That color has been our favorite since birth. Now upon waking we are fulfilled and happy and joyful and know our purpose. Through everything we found one another. </div>

<br /><br />For those out there still feeling alone we will meditate to bring them home. To heal their wounds and to make them feel welcome. Through reaching out we will spread this word and help any we find in our path. Feeling alone is a terrible thing when you feel you do not even understand yourself. Yet here within this group and others like it there is hope. <br /><br />Sometimes not sure what it is that makes the writing just flow and flow but we are the hope of the world. We love and forgive and hope and know that we have a purpose. All of us have a purpose to heal. To accept and love and share the blessings of these attributes and bring all of human consciousness to a higher vibration.</div>

Last night in my meditations I traveled up to what I call source. I saw this pure white light glowing softly and beautiful.I moved towards it. In the middle of it I saw geometric patterns forming white over white over and over and then something changed. A darkening and dimming of the light began. I willed it gone and it exploded outwards and the light was even brighter than before. I was sitting on a white lotus in full bloom. It was my lotus blossom in my mind. I had watched it struggling to bloom. To shake of this crust it had on it and it kept flexing outwards and there it was glowing white. I sat in the middle of that blossom and returned back to earth. Before I returned to my body I saw many more people and beings sitting on their own flowers spinning in the air glowing with light. We held our hands out towards each other palm facing out. Palm to palm covering this world in a joyous light. It was hard because sometimes the light would dim but then it would return. To a final beautiful brightness. To an enlightening of the world slowly but surely healing the wounds and cleansing the greed and pain from the world. I cried as I was meditating. When it was over I knew that my bloom had finally opened up fully. It was almost beyond words. <br />

<br /><br />This world is in need of healing and joy. We need all of you to begin to meditate and radiate love and compassion and all things based in love. Fear is not something that we can spend time on any longer. There is Love and there is Fear. The question I ask myself is this. Where do my actions, feelings and movements spring from? Love or Fear?. When you think about it you will find the answer inside of you.*hugs* With much love and light.<br />

Center yourself and sit quietly in a room where you feel comfortable. Using your mind visualize yourself moving upwards. Slowly into the light and adsorb and know that you are of the light itself and the light is you.This does not happen the first night nor the first week most of the time. But think of it like a muscle that you are working out. In time it gets stronger and you can use it more frequently. You will begin to see things in your mind's eye in time. Keep doing this and you will know what I speak. You must gather the light into yourself and then share it with the world and beyond.<br />

The light it within and all around us. It can illuminate a whole room with a single tiny flame. If it is easier for you imagine a darkened room and you are the light and in time you will make the room pure white light and beautiful. There are several things that have helped me on this path. Drinking plenty of water. Eating a plant based diet. Meditation and walking. Listening to Solfeggio frequencies. You can find many on you tube alone. They help you to awaken through vibrations the light within yourself.<br />

<br />
Pick the love over the negativity. Find truth within your life and focus on everyone and everything on this planet and beyond. There is much joy to be found sharing the love within yourself. Bringing that light to the front and giving it to others can feel so freeing. You can fly freely and heal the wounds that you see within people. You can see the places where healing needs to be done.<br />

How do you write something you have a difficult time understanding yourself ? I suppose you write it out and then look back and make sure that you accurately expressed the experience and then wait for some clarity. That is what I will have to do with this post. See there are somethings that have been on my mind. </div>

When I was a child I would look up at the sky as if I was expecting something to happen. I felt it should and that I was in the wrong place. I felt strange when I looked at my parents. I do not feel anything towards them now. When I was younger suffering through the abuse at their hands I would sometimes feel anger or unfairness at how I was treated. I have forgiven them and now moved on in life. But I always felt a bit like an alien. For lack of a better phrase. I remember my mother telling me of my birth. She had me very late in life. She was approximately forty two years old. She would say that I was a mistake and that I was an accident. Then she would follow those words with somethings that should not be said to a child. She said that she was me coming out of her body from above. She watched me come out of her and she said that I was born dead. That they had to bring me back to life. Once they did there I was in this world.</div>

Growing up I felt fascination with snakes and nature and books. You would hardly ever see me without a book. My favorite time of the week was when I could go to the public library and get a bag of books and then go home and open and book and go away from this place. Using my imagination I often did. I would go off by myself and climb up on top of mountains. They looked like mountains to a child. Most likely a hill. I felt spirits since I was a child. There was a time when I was about four maybe five years old where I remember a black vehicle. I remember talking to someone but I cant remember who. I was dropped off at home but when I turned it was gone. All I knew was that I was in trouble for scaring my parents. But I didnt feel fear then not while speaking to this person, being, im not sure. I remember seeing paintings in the walls and tried to show my parents and they did not see them. They accused me of being a liar, but i was not lying.</div>

I remember being put in a special class for children that disrupt the classes but I only did because I was very bored. I knew the lessons and wanted to do more. My partner feels like this as well. They tried to get us to conform but we did not appear able to do so. I remember coming up with ideas and then some months later someone would win some award for the concept etc. It was vaguely odd but it happens.</div>

I feel peoples emotions and try to help them. There is this light I am drawn to again and now I am learning how to open myself to it. My partner and I both do this now.It is a difficult road to travel. But upon finding my other half it is us now and we walk together and experience this together. Having that has given me joy and love that was before unimaginable. Now it feels like my body is lighter somehow and my spirit is overflowing with LIGHT positive light and a need to bring smiles and hope and peace and joy to everyone that I can.The world needs this. People need this. Every living sentient being needs this right now. So every night when we meditate we see ourselves as shining stars that spread light all over touching everything and everyone that we can.</div>

There are terms I am reading now and researching and becoming more aware of as time goes on that seem to explain much of how I have felt my whole life. It is thrilling and a little frightening at the same time. From my research I am what they call an Indigo Adult and a Starseed. This explains so much. But I do not want to focus on myself too much. This is fact here.</div>

There will be and I believe that my husband, partner, soulmate and I chose this life despite the pain in order to witness the onset of this change. There must be a return to peace joy harmony and expression of self. Sharing of information and food as needed. Loving one another and remembering that all are one living being. Please I ask that you think positively. Calm yourself and look inside and find that light and know it. Make it grow. You will understand.</div>

Nothing that would keep me from seeing that smile.<br /> <br /> You are the reason I get up in the morning despite the pain.<br /> You are the one with whom I am glad and grateful to share the rain.<br /> <br /> You give me the most peaceful hours I have ever known.<br /> When you took my hand that first time and you called me your own.<br /> <br /> I love you in ways that words would put to shame with their shortcomings<br /> To dance and take your hand and smile. It makes me want to share my joys and sing.<br /> <br /> There is no replacing you in my heart.<br /> I would rather die than be apart.<br /> <br /> You see the world through the same eyes as I do.The hidden and beautiful,you see too.<br /> I would never choose to walk this world alone,take your hand and we can see through.<br /> <br /> Through the uncertainties and sadness. the nightmares that linger on in my mind.<br /> Through all of these things you stand there and never falter or leave me behind.<br /> <br /> You deserve so many things that I cannot give you right now,a world filled with beauty<br /> So each day I will do my best to give you a small portion of that world of beauty.<br /> <br /> To see you save that wounded bee and giving me the inspiration to form a nest<br /> A safe arbor for a lonely damaged bee to find comfort and rest<br /> <br /> You did this!<br /> You have given me hope!<br /> You bless this world by simply existing and breathing!<br /> You never lie and you are always so true and honest!<br /> Within your eyes there is beauty and honesty and amazing passion!<br /> I want to hold you love you so fiercely that you will understand how I feel!<br /> Your a beautiful lotus bud!<br /> Your hands are my salvation!<br /> Your warmth is what I cling to in this barren place within my mind!<br /> I do not deserve the compassion that you give to me.<br /> <br /> But love know that there is nothing that is impossible so long as you are with me.<br /> You make everything possible and a delight of fun and joy.With you I am free..<br /> Words are so confounding at times I sit here and try to find and put together rhymes<br /> To tell you the amazing touching safe and loving filled times..<br /> <br /> Where you held me and said everything would be ok and I believe you.<br /> You never lie<br /> When you took my hand even though I raged inside and loved me regardless..<br /> I do not deserve you..<br /> Why you love me and help me when I stumble and fall, I just do not know.<br /> But I will spend the rest of my life striving to be deserving of someone as beautiful as you.</span></span></h6>

You have to be like water and find a way to move forward and on..in life. There are many paths and no real barriers that you cannot overcome in time.</span></span></h6>

Do you speak in words of love and compassion? Or do the words like *hate* *can't* *won't* seem to sprinkle themselves liberally into your daily conversations? I would stop saying such negative things over time. Try to learn to be more positive and learn more compassionate ways to live and to be in your life. Help others and do not expect anything in return. Be a human being that others wish to be like. Live your own way and be yourself. Love others even if they seem incapable of it themselves. Give to others when you can. Give a kind word and help to heal someone. You do not ever hate something. You may dislike it all you want but never hate something.

Peace and contentment and they think I have insulted them. It is very strange to me. But I will continue to post things like that because the simple truth is that this world needs more of those things.A gentle word of love and caring goes a long way towards healing the world. We are all connected like it or not. We all should be more understanding and try to find positive ways to resolve differences. It is not an easy path at first but over time you realize that being calm and filled with love can be one of the most fulfilling things in the world. </span></span></h6>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">For once a movie depicted the savagery of Christianity. For once the pagans were not demonized and it could be said that there certainly was epic intolerance. We all know it and yet this movie did show this very well. It showed how the balance or acceptance and tolerance MUST be maintained for an ordered society. Believe in what you will. Do not harm others in their own path to spirituality.<br /><br />Each path is it's own epic journey and some get a running start and do not think. Some start and think and live a good life and consider others. Some never begin because they question things. Questioning is not wrong.<br /><br />Blind obedience to something you see hurting others most certainly is.</span></b></div>

What is blind belief ? What is competitiveness ? What are these words that we throw around ? What do they all mean ? Do they have a purpose and a significance in our lives that perhaps we do not see or yet know ? Yes. Do they have a place and feed into and kill the light within us and we do not even know it ? Yes. Is the idea of your friend being offered the opportunity of a lifetime with large sums of money a reason to be jealous of them ? No but some will and some will feel a touch of jealousy. <br />

<br /><br />Resistance is something that sparks a decided desire to make changes in a world that you may see as being slightly off kilter. Resistance could be as small as not shopping at the huge store and walking a little further to go get your food somewhere else. It could be finally taking a step in the direction you want to see the world going in. It is finally waking up and saying wait a minute, Why am I doing this ? Why do I wake up at the same time every day and do the same thing and ignore the things right in front of me ? Why do I accept this collusion of these massive companies as they erode the very foundation I believe in ? So many questions, yet I could literally write paragraphs of them. I could fill books with all of the questions I have gathered over the years. Even now I add more.<br />

<br />So you wake up and walk into another room and begin your daily ritual. You open the bag of or jar of or bottle of whatever you consider food to be and consume it. You most likely did not read the label. Most likely you do not know where the bottle came from or how many lives were invested in making it. How many lives helped to create this item for you. How many people slaved so that you could have this. You eat your food, have your smoothie, drink your coffee or tea or water. Then you move onto the next part of your day. Work, making money, making a future, making the lives of your family or yourself better. You do this to the extent that they have some sort of food on their plate and light to see by and warmth or a fan to heat or cool themselves. They have some clothing and toys to play with. You as an adult have your own toys to play with that you enjoy.Did it come from Pakistan, Sri Lanka, China, Russia, Mexico or some country you have not heard of. On the map if it was laid out for you to see where I wonder would these countries be. Could the average person show on a map the country where their item came from, many suprisingly could not. Can the people that produced these items for you and your family or friends feed their children healthy food and go to sleep in a semblance of a soft bed. Do they awaken and smile at their mother and know she is doing her best for them, yes I know this to be true. All over this world are mothers kissing their <br />sons soft cheeks before giving their food and off to..school or work. There are daughters deciding to stay home to work and help their family because some other wealthy corporation came to take what was not theirs and leave people with little to nothing. Leaving them barren and their original motherland was now stripped bare, so they go to the cities. Will the earth replenish herself in time, yes she will. But she needs to be left alone to do so. A little help would be appreciated I am <br />certain.<br />

<br /><br />The decisions we make as a people do not just affect us and our country. They touch every nation at some point. They leave their ripples sometimes to be felt for centuries. There is a cost for everything. The despoiling of the land is something I have witnessed firsthand and through the news on the internet. Blind belief is in essence the giving up of your questioning mind. It is the allowance of submission to someone who says that they are knowledgeable. That they know this is right for you. <br />

<br /><br />Most people I see are much too complacent to stand up and state what they feel. They have lost that spark. They have given it to the corporations, the institutions, the pharmaceutical industries, the politicians, the educational behemoths. They think that these things will protect, nurture, enhance, breathe life into their dreams, hopes and families. This is passivity at it's finest. Assumption at it's most obvious. Blind acceptance at the core. You turn away to get on with your life and question very little. You do what you are told and move forward into whatever future these places have in mind for you. Your children learn from you. You know this and you think you are doing the right thing.<br />

<br /><br />Competitiveness is something that can be both good or bad depending on the function and the situation in which it is employed. It can lead to great thinkers and wondrous achievements. It can also lead to anger towards someone you love, who you perceive to be doing better than you. It is that itch on the palms of your hands wanting to do something, anything to get where they are. Will people do almost anything to get it, yes of course there is no end to what people will do. Can they <br />understand that it is something implanted into us now by the corporations to instill fear, wanting, desperation and desire. For things, things that have no sense of touch and compassion. Things that fill your house and look pretty. But do they nourish you at your core, can they hold you and talk to you, no. They give only a reflection of something shiny to catch the eye. When at the end of the day they really are meaningless things. Whether you bought it to make your son or daughter happy <br />for a moment. Whether you competed to make your partner proud of you, to see that look in their eye. Most of the time I see people with their heads down in their palms pressing buttons. They are blinded in so many ways.<br />

<br /><br />Resistance is something that can be positive and can change things for the better. Listen to positive words and sometimes stop moving all together. Just stop and breathe. Listen to your breath and give yourself just a moment in time. There is so much joy in this world if you look around a moment. Can you see it now as it winds around you. The energy is right there and all you have to do is open yourself to it. Resist in ways that help others. Resist by reading the labels and where things <br />come from. Try to wrap your mind around where things come from and imagine how many people had a stake in what you consume. Think about what you are doing and save up and buy things made in the country you live in. Because in the end when you consume cheap things that cost laborious hours to produce while stripping precious metals from the earth, you are not helping the people that made it to get jobs. You take their homes and communities from them. You are better than this ! You know it and so do I. Within you is the greatest and most complex system imagined really within the confines of a human body and human potential ! Resist in small ways. You do not need as much food as you think to be healthy. Eat less but more nutrient rich foods. Think before you spend any money. Look at what you are contributing to. I do not speak from an ivory tower. I make little money as it is and yet my partner and I do this. You can do so much more than you think. You can help so many people in a passive way to have better lives. You have this power inside of you ! The light resides within yourself. <br />

<br /><br /><br />Blind belief is something that can be changed also. Remove the blinders from accepting things as they are. Take control and power over your life and your education. Question everything ! There is no better way to lead the way for your children to follow. I know money is tight. I know that things are difficult. But let us think and consider this. Most people have time to spend on facebook or playing a game. I hear but I do not have any time. Yes, you do. You just need to be more aware of it <br />all. If you have time for a movie then why not start making some bread for yourself. Mix it up and set it to rise and walk away and watch the movie. Set a timer and make your bread. Then when it goes off pause the movie and knead the dough and put it into he tins and then preheat the oven and bake your bread and go back to your movie. Small interruptions yes..but worth it. You just made your own bread and you will know the difference. Anything is possible to achieve if you think of what time you are spending. Do not allow these corporations the power to make you think that you cannot complete things on your own without their help. You can.<br />

<br /><br />Competitiveness is another thing that can lead to better things. It all depends on how it is used. Can you use it to better your life and the whole world as a community, yes ! yes ! yes ! You are a part of a whole breathing beautiful thing that grows and lives and pulses with energy. Things are much more simple than they seem. You are right now, in this moment and then it will pass and another will come. Every single day is a chance to make a difference a change however small it may seem. Every day is a chance to connect with people and tell them that you love them. What they mean to you. If you can go see them. If you cannot then go write to them. Whatever it takes do what you need to do. All will happen as it is supposed to. Stop being so stressed out. Stop caring if you have the latest product, labeled fashion, the best new chip flavor and so on. Those things mean nothing when compared to a smile from your child. When it is compared to taking a walk and maybe planting a tree and teaching your child things about where oxygen and wood comes from and why and how. You may learn things you did not know in the process. Connect with your children and let them know that you love them through words and deeds and not things. They do not need things. They need you. They need love and attention and books and walks and understanding.<br />

<br />There is no past in your life that can make any difference now. There is not future that you can really change. But there is the now and that matters. Live in the now. Teach your children by example you are their god in many respects. Remember the light in good music and turn your back on anger and hateful messages. There is no need to be so undressed and angry and full of disturbing images. Some artists bring the light even if they are no longer with us. Look to the light and be of the light. Learn compassionate will and loving responses. Read a little more and in time you will find most of these questions will no longer plague you. Consider others when you make a choice and you will find the true spirit that resides within you.<br />

It is something I desire to hold onto and keep it close to me as I wander through life seeing things that make me cringe. I will tell you that i am quite passionate about things I see as unfair or hurtful. I like to think of myself as the superwoman in a special suit that can come to the aid of those that I see suffering needlessly. Someone to put up a gentle but firm arm in between those things I see as being the cause of harm and those about to be harmed.<br /><br />One of those things that I believe in firmly is being vegan. Yes I know I am sure there are some people that have had bad experiences with vegans. But know that I try to offer people the opportunity to experience what the food is like. I try my best to reinforce the experience with something positive. Am I perfect? No. Have I offended people? I am pretty sure I did with the vehemence in my voice and cause. Even though my voice remained calm at the time. I do have strong feelings.<br /><br />I began in January as a vegetarian. We consumed Milk and Eggs and Cheese and Butter and yogurt and anything but the flesh of animals. I thought things were going along rather well. But my boyfriend Alexi made his feelings known to me. I respect his feelings above almost anyones and so I listened to him. I said well I cannot just go vegan like that *Imagine a finger snapping in the air* Yet he really believed in this and while I was not ready for it, I went ahead with it. I walked and most likely stomped up to my neighbors flat and knocked on his door. I tried with a calm voice to explain to him that we had some food for him. Was I happy in this moment? Not even close. But he came down and I methodically went through everything to see what we could have and by the time I was finished my neighbor had several bags of food.<br /><br />The whole time I sat in my chair with an occasional glare at Alexi. I was not a happy camper but I remained silent. Our neighbor who is a lovely man left with the food and I had a calm talk with Alexi. See I cannot take yelling or being yelled at. It hurts me.So I told him that I was not happy and what would we be eating? I think a typical question for anyone that wonders what vegans eat. I felt lost to be truthful. So I told him if we are going to be vegan I had to have some things that did not change. <br /><br />1. Hot Tea or coffee with cream in it.<br /><br />2. Toast with butter.<br /><br />Honestly those were big deals for me. He duly wrote down on a list the things that I needed and then put his notebook away. I took care of him and he held me that night as I think I still grumbled a bit. When we woke up I made him what I could. See I have always had quite a bit of pride in my cooking skills. I grew up in a house where my mother shooed me out of the kitchen and did not teach me anything. So here I was basically starting over. I was just lost..so throughout that day I did some research on the internet and later that night when Alexi came home he brought home soy milk and hemp milk and some dairy free butter spread and bread and fruits and tomatoes. The next morning he made breakfast. I was handed tea that tasted exactly the same as I remembered. He had purchased also single cream soy milk. The toast was a bit lighter than I was used to but I ate it slowly trying to get used to the taste.<br /><br />He left for work and I tried my hand at my first vegan recipe and I found out that it was delicious. Here I was slowly over time working with ingredients I had never even heard of. Some i recognized but had never had before. So I had tofu, tahini, all these new herbs I had never head of. <br /><br /><br /><br />The first thing I did was walked into the kitchen and grabbed a scone mix. I checked to make sure I could use it and jumped up for joy when I found that I could. I got the cocoa powder and some dried apricots and some ginger pieces and some almonds and some California seedless raisins. I mixed in some apple juice instead of the egg and then the required water and made my first vegan dish. I checked on the oven scared they might burn and they didn't. I was being a bit silly. When I took them out I looked at them sniffing them a bit apprehensive. Then I tried one and it was good. I would have jumped for joy if I could have. So I put them in a bowl in the microwave and waited until Alexi got home.<br /><br />Now every night I run him a bath and make him a cup of tea and set up a candle and some incense and sometimes I make a dessert. I spoil him but he works so incredibly hard. He deserves it and I would do anything for him. Making him smile is a joy I look forward to. He loved them ! That made me so happy. This being the first recipe I did not write it down. But I fixed this from now on.<br /><br /><br /><br /> My next experiment was this one. *Points Down*<br /><br /><br /><br />¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬<br /><br />This recipe feeds myself and then a full lunch for my boyfriend. You will need.<br /><br />2-3 Large potatoes.(Any color you like)<br /><br />1/2 cup of onions (I usually use frozen)<br /><br />1/2 cup of bell peppers(I use frozen that I cut up myself)<br /><br />1/2 cup of any other veggies you may like.I recommend tomatoes,leeks,mushrooms,carrots,peas.Usually anything you have handy.<br /><br />Half a cup to a full cup of pressed tofu pieces. You can usually find them in your dairy section and sometimes in the frozen section.<br /><br />1 Heaping tablespoon of turmeric<br /><br />Enough fresh ginger that when cut up fills your palm heaping.<br /><br />Two garlic cloves<br /><br />Salt and pepper to taste.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now I usually begin by cutting up my potatoes into cubes and wait until the water in the pot is almost boiling. You can check them by pulling one out and testing it. You only want them about halfway cooked no more. Then on the other burner you put in some hemp,olive,sunflower oil...whichever you prefer. Enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Then put a lid over it and cut up your ginger and garlic. Once you have that you put it into the hot oil with the onions and peppers and whatever other vegetable you picked out. Cover on high for about five minutes then turn it down to medium low or setting 3 on your hob.<br /><br /><br /><br />Then stir it and watch it cooking.Make sure it does not burn. Then stir in the turmeric salt and pepper. Cook until slightly all dente. Or a little more if that is what you like. Put it on a separate plate.<br /><br /><br /><br />The potatoes once they are halfway done drain them and set aside. Then put a little more oil in the pan and once hot on high again toss in the potatoes and cook until crispy and golden.<br /><br /><br /><br />At this point your potatoes will look exactly how you like them. Then toss in the tofu and the vegetables you just cooked. Mix well. Serve hot with a cut up tomato on the side or some greens etc.<br /><br /><br /><br />This is my favorite dish right now. I hope you like it !<br /><br /> ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬<br /><br /><br /><br />Well once I made this I was hooked. It was more of an experiment in the kitchen after this. Since then I have learned of the practices in the animal industry and have felt so sad. There is a difference since I learned all of this. When I go shopping and I see people and their carts full of meat and cheese and eggs and milk.. I know that they are doing themselves a disservice. Once you know the information it is impossible not to unlearn it. So you find yourself biting your tongue when you see people doing these things. When you see them not reading labels. I cringe when I see people doing there things and I have to hold back from saying anything. It is as if I have been instilled with this need to help my fellow man. I want to help them. I want them to live healthy lives and help all of these millions of animals that suffer needlessly.<br /><br />My friends, bless them know how vehemently I feel about all of this. They know and they listen to me patiently. Some of them are trying to make changes and I feel good. But at night when Alexi is home I ask him. Am I doing the right thing when I tell them? Do you think they resent me? Do you think they wish I would just shut up so they could go on with their lives and not think about these things? Do they understand that I really sincerely care about them and I want them to live as long as possible and be healthy? Do they know that all this pain I am living in only strengthens my will to try and give other people a better life? I am not pompous, nor a know it all. I am always learning more. Every day.<br /><br />Some people I think just listen and move on in their life. If I manage to plant a seed in one friend and help them then good. I do not watch animal cruelty videos because it is fun for me. I do not watch it because it makes me feel good. But it is knowledge. It is a perspective. It cannot and should not be ignored. So I share these things with my friends and I hope one day that people will stop.<br /><br /><b style="color: #cc0000;">I hope for a world where there is no more animal product consumption.</b><br />

<br /><br />This is a list of animal products. When you read all the things they make out of animals you may feel sick. You may recognize some of these ingredients as items that are in your own products. Products that you might use every day. <br /><br /><b style="color: #cc0000;">http://www.peta2.com/STUFF/s-AnimalIngredientsList.asp</b><br /><br />Now PETA is a good source of information. But I am not some enormous blind follower of them. Every group has it's issues. I am not trying to pass judgment.<br /><br />Now are there some people on this planet that cannot be vegan? Yes I think so. Some of the tribes that live up towards the Arctic circle are limited on the things they can eat. So would i force them onto a vegan diet? No of course not. For the man who live in a rural part of the world that cannot afford to feed his family and is getting no help. Say he goes out and shoots some rabbits to feed his children. Am I going to go down there and preach to him about how wrong he is? No of course not. There are exceptions to almost any thing in this world really.<br /><br /><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Some of the biggest arguments that I hear is this.</span><br /><br />1. <b style="color: #cc0000;">Being vegan is expensive</b> - No actually if you think about it buying a bag of chickpeas some bulk herbs and some oil combined with some rice, potatoes or pasta and bags of frozen veggies are actually much cheaper than meat cheese eggs and milk. <br /><br />2. <b style="color: #cc0000;">Being vegan is hard</b> - No not really. It is a change. That is the hard part. Adapting is the eventuality if you are determined. IF you need help then I do have a vegan beginners group on facebook. Here is the link http://www.facebook.com/groups/310251979023374/ You can ask me to join and I am happy to offer you help.<br /><br />3.<b style="color: #cc0000;">But meat tastes so good</b> - no not really. It is a texture you have grown used to. Most people do not just put meat in a pan and cook it and eat it. They cook it with spices and cover it in gravies or marinades etc. You can do the same thing with tofu and it has a large portion of protein in it. If you have any doubts. Watch this.<b style="color: #cc0000;"> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNCGkprGW_o</b> They name Americans quite a bit but this is also true for people in any modern industrialized country. <br /><br />http://www.readersdigest.co.uk/fruits-of-hot-climes/fast-food-facts-effects-and-health-risks-of-a-junk-food-diet/html Talks about the UK.<br /><br />4. <b style="color: #cc0000;">Animals do not feel pain. What about free range?</b> <br /><br />Farm to Fridge - The Truth Behind Meat Production<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THIODWTqx5E <br /><br />Earthlings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky4RGYva90E&feature=fvst<br /><br />
I am quite sorry to show you these. But the screams these sentient beings make haunt me. They stay with me. I suffer with pain every day of my life. How can I possibly justify causing millions more animals to suffer without trying to help them? I just cannot do it. If you tell me I cannot watch this because it is painful. I will tell you again. Imagine how painful it is for them. I beg you to reconsider your habits please.<br />

Something I wrote to share with all of you.<br /><br /> All these beautiful things that we see from day to day.From a slight <br />speck of dust upon a petal of a small flower struggling for sunlight in <br />the misty dawn. It struggles and sometimes we do not see it. But all <br />around us are stories that we do not see. We are part of a timeless <br />moment..something that touches us all and yet we do not always see <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4AJ89nLGSX7g2-ey5EGi1xi7GphU5Lb4aX-WNGdqHQaS1AUA-dVfgAWVKiWwcI-VmIdDxyROVGQIynUkWVRNIkj5Mbily6ZcTPc6Cdf7ZrR_cNqFsE9KozZqOKYOmxl4UpsRYrtRH0nOW/s1600/_MG_7237.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4AJ89nLGSX7g2-ey5EGi1xi7GphU5Lb4aX-WNGdqHQaS1AUA-dVfgAWVKiWwcI-VmIdDxyROVGQIynUkWVRNIkj5Mbily6ZcTPc6Cdf7ZrR_cNqFsE9KozZqOKYOmxl4UpsRYrtRH0nOW/s320/_MG_7237.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /><br />it.Nor are we always aware of its loving touch. Attempting to guide us <br />down a path in our growth of spirit. There is such beautiful joy in <br />these moments when we finally open our eyes and see beyond our own small <br />existence. When we see beyond the small wanderings that become day to <br />day monotony among our peers..or so we think they are. Yet within each <br />of them is a story of lost passion of forgotten interests. Things that <br />sparked within them and then sometimes blossomed and struggled to life <br />and became more than we could have imagined in the first place. Then <br />there are those whose struggle did not light up like a small flame to <br />fan that gray creativity in our spirits. Among us lay these realms <br />that we do not see and yet we are not blind to them ..not really. We <br />could see them if we cleared our eyes of the fog of consuming things <br />that do not matter. Making sure that we are stationed in a particular <br />place to watch pixilated movements upon a screen that lack that spark. <br />That drain from us that which makes us such noble creatures of light. <br />That soul that we garner sometimes becomes more.<br />

<br />There is a greatness within everyone..within everything..predestined is <br />how i see it. There is a joy to behold in a simple walk and looking out <br />onto the horizon. Do not let yourself become numb and blinded by <br />miniscule things that matter not. Do not let your eyes and desire become <br />foggy by the repetitive motions of others that have become blinded to <br />the daily routine and not open to anything.But seeing you attempt to fly <br />and catching you before you fall. You were not going to fall You were <br />about to become grace incarnate...you were taking those steps to leap up <br />and out towards your dreams streaming in front of you. You can see <br />them...breathe them in and let life flow within.Let nothing hold you <br />back. Listen not to the daily diatribes of beings too cluttered with <br />decay to know true life when they see it. They are shackled with chains <br />of conformity and destined to be nothing but a figurehead on a <br />beast.Sucking life from us until we are diseased.<br />
<br /><br />Look up into the sky and notice the spiraling love and beauty to be <br />found there. That universal light is inside of you if you can only open <br />your eyes to see it. You are capable of things.You can help those <br />falling and lift them up.Instead of gathering with people you think to <br />be friends and join in their suffering. Take a chance and let yourself <br />fly..help the wounded and comfort those sick of the world. Sometimes a <br />hand held out can help one from dying.Your choices can remove suffering <br />from those people.<br /><br /><br />The life you have been given is precious and you must rise to the <br />position that you were meant for. Do not cloud yourself with television <br />as it sucks your attention and potential like it was drinking your very <br />light.Do not dull yourself with drinks day after day. Covering yourself <br />in fabric that somehow has meaning simply because it bears a name of <br />someone that has done nothing for you or this world save simply taking <br />your money.Do not witness suffering in what you consume and allow it to <br />continue. Simply because something has always been done a certain <br />way..painted with a brush ..making strokes that you know does not make <br />it right nor something that is sustainable.The only way it remains alive <br />is through you giving it a part of yourself.<br /><br /><br />The amazing thing is this when you look to the ghosts of your past you <br />know what you have done and what you should have done. Do not hang your <br />head in defeat. Let yourself shine and look forward knowing what you now <br />know and be at peace.There is always a new day to wake up to and try <br />again to connect with yourself,with this world,with the people in <br />it,with your kindness,with a chance you did take. Not turning away once <br />and instead lending a hand. <br /><br /><br />You are so small in this world and in this universe and yet you are in a <br />world where there are many paths that can be taken and you pick <br />one..this does not mean that you cannot change. This does not mean you <br />cannot break free. This does not mean that you are something to be <br />ashamed of. You can change this.You have this amazing power and you can <br />use it. You have the power to stand and say No! I will not be another <br />cog in the machine. I will be free and there will be love in this world <br />not blind acceptance. I will be strong for those that cannot be. I will <br />see the good in others and bring it out of them.I will help those <br />trembling inside to take that tentative step forward.I will be the <br />divine being I am and have always been. I can make a change and forge <br />love and beauty and divinity into this world.<br />

She is a bit of a recluse but once meeting <br />people she opens up and is quite genial. There may be emotions crossing her face at times and sometimes it is pain. In fact quite often it is pain. Mainly physical pain for which she is thankful to be able to manage thanks to her local GP. But it does weigh heavily on her at times. Having to put on a brave face. <br />

<br /><br />But then don't we all do this upon leaving the house? We develop our walls of protection called a mask by some and by others a charming smile. Reading ancient history books I have found that this look is oftentimes that of a courtier. One of charm and civility and underneath lurking so many hidden things.<br /><br />Now upon looking at anyones face you can see the tell tale signs of roads they have traveled upon <br />lightly, some carefree explorations and some trepidations although they might just do it again if given a chance. Some wear the hardships of the world upon their face. Within the furrows of their brows can be seen either the close inspection of life whereupon they examined it with intrigue or curiosity. Other times those furrows could indicate pain and a life filled with many toils.<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br />Some people seem to lighten up at the appearance of someone that crosses their path because they know them and love them. Sometimes they are just having a good day and somehow cannot hide this happiness or contentment from the world and it shines through. I imagine being a guard at the palace where I traditionally am not supposed to show any emotional response. How hard that must be to stand there if you have just heard some delightful news. Perhaps your wife had your child. Perhaps you even held the baby in your arms and finally recognized a tiny piece of the universe you are now creating and growing and your line ..your history right before your eyes. Perhaps you just learned that someone close to you is terminally ill. All so many things that you could be feeling and yet stand you must. Upright and gallant even. Straightforward and stiff. The stiff upper lip i think.<br /><br /><br /><br />Sometimes walking down the street I see children passing and on their faces seems a difficulty in hiding their feelings. But then they have not had enough occasions to have to learn the fine art of concealing one's feelings. They are free to show childlike delight at simple things. They wander in their own world and we generally as adults let them. We give them that freedom. Do we do it out of love? Knowingly? Do we do it perhaps because we know as adults how hard it can be.To have the freedom to just love and enjoy things should be a right. Maybe we as adults know this.<br />

<br /><br /><br />I think it should be a right. I think as human beings we should not be afraid to show childish delight at the raindrops as they fall. At the sunlight streaming through the windows of our homes. To see that ray of light hitting upon the shining fur of our well loved pets. To see their eyes look at us and know that they are our companions and smile because of it. To have those that posses our hearts walk through the doorway and our whole faces light up and sometimes we jump up into their arms and kiss them. Suddenly the world narrowing to a point where all you see is them.<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br />To love, to share joys, to cling together during hardships. To kiss our wounds or wounded loved ones. To touch and attempt to heal with this. To hug one another. To skip along the road or dance to a song. Expressing with fingertips and hips and bodies made of lightness of being. As we try to describe without bodies what the sounds confer to us. What gifts they have given to us. To share all of these things.. all and anything that feels and shows emotions we have a right to it. If you are angry of course express it and try ..try hard to not let it overtake you. Try to direct it towards resolution. Yes I know that can be difficult at times. Yes I know how hard it can be to forgive but you should. Perhaps you cannot forget and maybe that is a good thing. So you can remember and be prepared should whatever it is show up again.<br />

<br /><br /> But never allow anger to own you. Never allow it to leave it's mark upon your beautiful soul. For you whoever you are reading this have a beautiful soul. In there is this amazing gift. The gift to forgive and learn and smile and find joy and grow and champion a cause. To shelter the weak from the brutalities of this world. To see with your eyes what others try and hide. Perhaps it is a hurt? IF you can see it maybe you can find a bandage to help them. We all of us.. ALL OF US... have the power to change this world. We have a chance while we breathe air to send out feelers. Sometimes we may feel pain. Sometimes we may find a joy beyond compare. Sometimes we may discover a beautiful side to someone we called friend. <br />

<br /><br /><br /><br />These lines on our faces.This author used to fight them. She used to think that there was nothing to smile about. That all that was left to her was dissolution and pain. She thought she would die alone. She was so wrong. Her life has been filled with gifts beyond compare. She has found comforts she never knew existed. Let alone be worthy of receiving. She has an expanse of amazing life standing there in front of her. So now she wears her wrinkles with pride. She is getting laugh lines. They are there! It is exciting. She has reasons to laugh now and smile. She awakens to a beautiful new world every day and is so incredibly thankful for all of it.<br />

<br /><br /><br /><br />So my advice to you is this. Let the world in a little bit. Smile at a random stranger even if they think <br />you are a loony bird. *laughs* Do it anyway. Share the joy that is life! Share the bliss that is just <br />breathing sometimes. Sometimes when you eat say a quiet thank you. Thank the waiter. If you can manage it wander back towards the kitchen and say thank you to the staff. They may think you mad but do it anyway. Whenever you see a cashier and she looks stressed out tell her something kind and nice about herself. Validate people and show them how you see them. Never forget to say thank you to people most forget. Write a letter, pick up the phone but whatever you do...do it with love and compassion. Thank you for reading.<br />

The moves can signify so many things inside of ourselves. It can be the teleportation of pain to somewhere else for a moment while flinging our cares away. It can be a moment in time that we meet our loves,whoever they may be. We find freedoms we never knew we had in todays world of conformity. We find our <br />
soulmates in the songs,singing of our own agony and pain and suffering. We turn to them and listen to them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Dancing has been a balm and a torment to me. I admit it out loud here. I have an injury that impedes my movement. So when I move to attempt to dance I find my movements hindered. I find i cannot move to show supplication to the sounds that comfort and inspire me. It tears me apart inside when i find i cannot dance like i used to. It also has inspired me to write and in my writings I find I can <br />
still confer a certain degree of feelings,emotion and passion to the songs that I believe deserve their homage paid to them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Watching dancers move whatever their genre is inspiring. It shows beautiful creatures moving in ways we only imagine. It shows them folding backwards with a simple movement of their arms showing disdain and submission. It is so beautiful to behold. Within their moves are hidden <br />
sensuality. I find myself in many of them even if they are in another country and during a different time. Watching them I find communal commonality. They move and bleed silent cruor tears filled with their own longing.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
So they picked the careeer to display this to the world.The feelings I succumb to when listening to songs are amazing. Like a rainbow of affection, agitation, sorrow, sympathy, despondency, perturbation, concern, desire, inspiration, drive, ecstasy, elation, empathy, excitability, satisfaction, fervor, grief, happiness, joy, love, melancholy, rage, remorse, sadness, and sometimes even shame.<br />

<br />
<br />
It is a fantastic climax of all of these things that keep us coming back for more. We sit or stand move or do not dare to for fear of embarrassment. Which is silly you should just dance and not care.Close your eyes and find your own space of freedom. You should hold your hands up to the sky and thank whatever god you believe in for such a gift as this. This..this amazing gift of freedom. The <br />
fantastic guide for our souls. The gentle pouring of rain over our parched <span class="query_h1" id="query_h1">quintessence</span>. Desperate for a drink of compassion, for a draught of feeling. To watch and know that we are not alone.<br />
For too many years I have watched things change. I know that we idolize our musicians and think that they must be made from some seperate mold. Something different than where we came from. Not true at all. They have their own feelings and emotional catastrophies. Yet they step on stage and go on. The rape of the gift to me is the studio executives and the money behind it all. They place upon the stage beautiful looking beings that cannot convey our souls sustenence.They are mere pretty shells designed by thecorporate media and so many do not even question them.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
They have not the ear anymore for beautiful music sung from the soul. Some of the most amazing and breathtaking songs were sung by people that you would quite possibly not consider extremely beautiful. But since when do we need a beautiful vessel to convey art? Since when do we have to have plastic idols to adore and yet they cannot convey what we as humans desire and need?<br />

<br />
<br />
I miss the times when I could close my eyes in a dark club and just float away. I miss the times when my darkness covered body became filled with light as i simply spinned and moved on the floor with no cares and just let myself fall to my knees asking and begging for forgiveness or for understanding as i danced. As i crafted and weaved a spell of desire and magic for my hungry essence.<br />

How do you gain patience when you are plagued with these feelings and emotions inside of you? Logically I understand patience. I understand that it is a good quality. I know that it is there to help people all people through times of tribulation and suffering. I know that patience gets things done,in time. I know that with things such a patience and kindness and compassion all things can be attained or understood better.<br />
<br />
Yet I suffer from anxiety and bi polar disorder. It is not something that I enjoy. It is in fact a point of shame because it makes me react in ways that I should not. It makes me hurt people with my words. It makes me lash out over the smallest things. Then once this is done I am left stunned into shame for what I just did. I know it was not the correct way to react. I know I could have done better.I know that I have many things to learn still.</div>

I have pointed out something that I felt someone I love could benefit from. I suggested that he find ways to work on his memory. I have not raised the issue again save the night when he asked me to control my temper. To not freak out over the small things. I did not get angry.But instead I did tell him that his working on his memory strength is something he is consciously aware of. Whereas my anxiety is a reaction without the benefit or needed safety stop in place to prevent it from coming out of my mouth. It just happens and then after It has done so then I feel shame and want to cry because I am not that person. I do care and love and accept.</div>

I have struggled for years now to think before I react. Yet I react still and hurt people I love. I believe he understood what I said to him that night and realized it is not just as easy as he thinks it may be. I know that he does not think how i feel and how i react are all under my power. But like anyone that is on the outside looking in they only understand to a certain point. After that they are left guessing.Rather like trying really hard to read fine print. Important fine print but are unable to really make it out.</div>

Today I got up early and made coffee and porridge and ran a bath and fed the cats and did laundry and so on.I left my partner sleeping. He works very hard and so I feel it is not only something i Love to do for him but i feel honor bound to do this as well. I try my best to be an honorable person that does good for others. Yet he said it was made with milk I had never heard this before. We have had discussions on living using less and I thought using water to boil it as I had done since i moved to England would be ok. I would leave a bowl of it and let my partner add whatever he liked to it. The coffee filter had not worked so there were grounds in it so i filtered them out.Then poured the coffee and put out breakfast and sat down to have some. My partner was not pleased you could tell he was trying to be polite like he always does. He ate very little and drank very little coffee. Towards the end I told him he could make it so It could be perfect. This was me lashing out at him for what? Nothing. It in turn made me feel like nothing. </div>

To my partner we will work on this. A relationship is not about perfection.It is not about always agreeing.But if one of us does something wrong then we must say we are sorry and do our best to never do it again.I touch my loves cheek and look into his eyes and all i see is kindness and loyalty. He loves me even when i stumble. Even when my anxiety and bi polar play havoc with my true words. Sometimes I am so ashamed I hang my head and want to cry and curl up in a ball. I am truly sorry for all the times that i lose my temper and then regret it. </div>

My partner means that I have a reason to go on.He is my other half of my soul. When he is away from me it is as if I am not able to breathe fully. Each day when he leaves to go down the road to go to work I watch him go. I feel pain at his leaving.Later in the evening when he returns to me I can once again breathe and feel whole again.There is nobody in my life I have ever met that has been kinder. Within his eyes is the soul of the best of all of us. What we all wish we could be he is. He holds within him such potential for a greater being. His hands softly hold mine and I suddenly feel safe. He holds me and I fall into a softer me and give in to the gentle persuasion of love that he holds. He is my anchor and my love. </div>

I want the world to know that within all of us is a greater being just waiting for a chance to come out. Will you be your own mini sage all replete with the knowledge of the world? No. But in this greater form can you see and share the suffering of others? Can you understand that what they feel is something we all feel and share. Nobody is alone in this world. We are all brothers and sisters suffering,laughing,procreating,celebrating,living,contemplating great things,giving of ourselves. We are all capable of amazing things.</div>

My wish is to be forgiven by my partner and you know what? He already has even though I do not feel I deserve it. But he did it. Thank you. Thank you for taking such a broken thing as I and mending it slowly as you can to fullness and strength again. Thank you. You have made my dreams come true. You held my hand when I needed it and you have given me the will to live. We sit for hours and just talk about what we want in life. Sharing and growing together. I do not want to walk down the road in life with anyone but you. You are my kitten and I am your kitty. </div>Luminous Transcendental Serpenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17540388783758637306noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2926577480052694277.post-20675360182360481802012-01-16T11:13:00.000-08:002012-01-16T11:13:13.338-08:00Consumption benefit yet FrugalI could hardly believe it today when we wandered into a store today and went towards the discount area.We go there first now.I found a huge bunch of greens(69 or 89p),a couple of bunches of spring onions(69p) and a bag of red potatoes(9p).The night before we found some clotted cream pots for only 17p each and so when i got home today I opened the bag and found only a few small blemishes on the potatoes and everything else was fine.So i washed and cut out all the rough bits in the greens.I cooked them with rosemary and olive oil and black and white pepper.It was so good i ate a small bowl right there.I only wilted the greens a bit.Now there is a container of fabulous potato soup to eat in the fridge.<br />
<br />
So for those costs you see there plus the cost of a cup of double cream about £1.09.Add it up and you come to approx £2.93 plus the small cost of olive oil and the pinch of rosemary and we now have a meal with warmth and positive energy in it that cost almost nothing.Tomorrow Alex my kitten works for twelve hours at his job.I worry for him and I like to make sure that he has everything and anything that he could need in this world.So I am going to fill his lunch box with this and some garlic toast and this will I hope bring a smile to his face.Not to mention the small note I plan on leaving in his lunch box.<br />
<br />
There was a mint plant they were trying to throw away and i saved him for 89p.I went and found some plant food and some nice compost and replanted him loosening up his roots to let him know there was room to grow.I keep him watered and he is getting bigger!Our neighbor Alex gave us a lettuce plant.I confess I had never raised a lettuce plant and had not been known to posess a green thumb.But i tried.Finally in th emiddle of winter with one or two leaves clinging to it i took it in and warmed him.I then tried watering and that was not doing it.So now we repotted him with a six month supply of food.So here is hoping to a big plant! It is very exciting to me. A peace lily that my friend Barry bought for me is doing well in his new home.My little ivy is going to grow and so watching al these things growing is really quite enjoyable.I want to let the ivy grow to the cieling and all over.The more green the better.<br />
<br />
Alex is now growing sprouts in a jar.I rinse them each day and they are quite good.Very vitamin rich.So Alex was tired and i thought ok what can i make for breakfast that e won't expect.So i took a big roll of shortbread and spread it out over a pan.Well oiled wax paper and washed his sprouts and layered them in a thick layer over the shortbread.Then i took a bowl and in it i mixed one can of cream of mushroom and one container of cream cheese.Then i added a spoon of mustard,one tsp of cumin and one tsp of coriander.Then i mixed it all together.I then boiled potatoes in slices until almost done.Drained them and mixed them into the cream mixture.I cooked onions and bell peppers seperatly and put them on top.Then added mozarella cheese and cheddar and then cut up small cherry tomatoes on top until it was covered.Then I drizzled olive oil over the top and put it in the oven.<br />
<br />
The cool part was the potatoes were almost free.The tomatoes were needing to be used big time.The cheese needed to be used so it all culminated in this dish.Which by the way was very very good.<br />
<br />
I think they key is keep an eye out for good deals.Natural items you can cook yourself.Mix up and come up with something amazing!!IF you make too much invite a neighbor over and share!!!Luminous Transcendental Serpenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17540388783758637306noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2926577480052694277.post-67152560218678000692012-01-12T07:52:00.000-08:002012-01-12T08:00:32.166-08:00Atonement<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We all have moments where we look back and regret things.Things we said or things we did not say.Things we did or did not do.Places we wished we had been to save someone.Sometimes we wish ill upon others.Sometimes we just react badly towards a stranger.These are all things we have done as a people.As a whole we have harmed and done things that we regret later.That is what this blog post will be about.<br />
<br />
This is my atonement and an attempt at reparation.Even if I cannot stand in front of who I intend this to be for I still need to do it.Even if the people I have hurt are unwilling to listen to me.There have been misunderstandings and things said sometimes on both sides that are something to regret.<br />
<br />
Have I given in to my anger in the past? Yes indeed I have. Have i given into my anger in the past week? Yes I have.I think knowing you have done something that was unkind or rash demonstrates what kind of a person you are.I think how you go about your future actions and how you try to repair said damage defines who you are.<br />

<br />
Even if you feel that your anger is justified you should try to think about it a little more thoroughly before you act upon it.If you are able to do that and walk away and sit down and calm down and try to approach it more logically you may obtain a better resolution.I am aware that it is not always possible to do so.But if you can try to do that instead.I find that if you simply react and retort based on anger it rarely solves anything.<br />
<br />
Not everyone is ready to accept that things do not always work out the way they may wish and will in turn become angry and potentially lash out at innocent people without realizing.I have done that before.I have been on the phone and became frustrated when customer service could not resolve my issue and i lashed out at them.After I had done so I said that I was sorry and that it was wrong of me to do so.I end up feeling terrible about my actions.<br />
<br />
Now have i encountered a person on the phone who was completely rude and refused to be civil towards me? Yes and did i react badly once I had hung up the phone? Yes.Did i let out a small string of expletives? Yes I did.Am i proud of this? No.But I realized it was wrong and solves nothing so I have made a choice not to do this again.So far so good.<br />

<br />
I play in a game called second life.Usually I am on there daily and interacting with many different kinds of people.Over time I have spoken to people from so many countries that i feel a bit like a virtual traveller.Within this world I have encountered people that I call my friends and have become very close to.Also within this game I have met some people that I do not correlate with at all.They have insulted me and berated my friends and so on.The thing I hope for is that in time they will stop doing these kinds of things.The thing that hurts me is knowing that they seem to do this based on the persons association with me.It is not their fault that they have chosen to join in my game.Yet they end up being mistreated because of it and that makes me sad.<br />
<br />
At one point all of this made me angry.It made me feel as if revenge were needed.But not anymore.What I would like it to sit down with these people and ask them if we can just wipe the past away.Can we move forward and not be shackled to the past? Have I made mistakes concerning the handling of things? Yes in the past I have.Over the last few months I have tried to either let it rest and hopefully go to sleep.Although I really wish there could be a resolution to all of this.It is a game within CCS realm and all I want is for us to enjoy ourselves.<br />

When a person is in second life they have the opportunity to use a program called Skype to call people.I use it to assist new players get their meters set up.To help them understand the basic rules and so on.Within the Skype call it is considered out of character.So within this framework to call someone a particular name is considered out of character insult.This conversation where it happened was a regretful thing.Do i regret how i approached the conversation? Yes.Do i regret what i said? No i do not.It was the truth that I have passed through a few associates before stating aloud.<br />
<br />
There are many things that i regret in my life.I regret that I could not have a better relationship with my parents.I regret that they are not an active part of my life.I regret that I seem to have disappointed them.But if they only knew that I struggle each day to become a better person.I try so hard to set a good example.To live up to the words that I give out as advice to others.<br />

I try hard to walk the path of calm contemplation.My friends teach me this all the time.They too are learning and walking a path carefully.As they walk they gather the dirt under their feet.They can choose to brush the dirt off as if it were loathesome.Or they can carefully wash their feet of the dirt and let it gently sink back into the ground to find a new path of nourishment.Sometimes dirt on a path has simply been misplaced and needs to be reminded of its purpose and home.<br />
<br />
Whenever I meet new people I have a tendency to judge them almost instantly.I am ashamed of this but it is true.I have been playing this game for so long that there are what i refer to as tells.Within a profile of a person are hidden hints as to who they are or could be.I have found myself right many a time.But I wonder if it is because I am putting in will for it to be so.Is it my own fault? Do i react in a defensive way for them to behave as i predict they will based on programmed actions on my part? I do not know.<br />
<br />
I do know that people can actively change over time.I do know that I have hurt people and for that I am sorry.Truly and sincerely sorry.I know that each day I will do my best to treat people better.To give them a chance to prove themselves before i judge them.I am a loving person in reality and I want all people in time to see and know this.This life is far too short to hold on to things that have passed and no longer matter.They have passed and in passing have left emotions and feelings lingering that sometimes can be used to attack and belittle others.<br />

<br />
For anyone I said an unkind thing towards.I am sorry.<br />
<br />
For anyone that I judged ahead of time before saying one word to them. I am sorry.<br />
<br />
For the person that still was learning in life and I was to impatient to see it.I am sorry.<br />
<br />
For the person who is struggling just as i am,I was too blind to see that we are both suffering.I am sorry.<br />
<br />
For those whose real life is a struggle and i did not know.I am sorry.<br />
<br />
I hope in time you can forgive me and you can get to know the person I am striving to be.<br />
<br />
There is no perfection to be obtained here.But compassion and patience and true affection can be reached.So for all of that I ask that you simply try to forgive me and understand that i too was young and made mistakes.I will continue to do so.But i promise I will do my best to avoid harming you any further.<br />

A Small Step To begin With

<div class="post-header">

How to explain how someone touches your life in a way you cannot
imagine.I knew I was not whole.I knew there were parts of me that had
yet to be nourished.There was a small part of me that I felt was
constantly emitting a keening sound of pain.Something i tried to
ignore.But you can truly only ignore something for so long before it
overwhelms you.I did not know I had reached that point yet.It was as if
something held it all back and I did not know what.I touched the world
and did not know that my contact affected others.Others perhaps I did
not yet know nor would I ever meet them in physical form.Yet it
remained.An echoing reminder I could not yet hear.<br />

<br />
I met a woman named Ruth.Ruth I found means traditionally (As an English
noun, 'ruth' means "pity; compassion" and is a synonym of mercy and
sympathy.)It also means friend.Within the realm of space and unknowable
things I was placed in her path.A then wounded and lost person.Though I
did not yet know it myself.Looking upon her she astounds you.Her
neverending compassion.Her inate ability to understand the meaning of
the word community.Her intelligence and patience.Without a word she
would just reach out and hold me.I resisted at first.Certain in my own
strength.Ready to wipe away my emotions I did not wish to deal
with.Stumbling through and hoping i suppose to come out unscathed at the
other end.Lost but not broken I learned.Wounded but not unable to heal
in time.Still capable of learning and finding joy.Impefect and yet only
withering was I.She did not actively attempt to heal me.She did not take
me to the side and counsil me.Most likely <br />
I would have faltered and possibly pushed back gently.Stubborn and
determined to do it on my own.She listened to me.She showed me how to be
a better person without a word.<br />
<br />
To see her working so tirelessly for the betterment of others over
herself.I gulped back tears sometimes when I heard the things that she
did for others.When i saw those small hands laboring to get things
organized as best she could.When one day she came in and asked if I
wanted to go to the store with her.I did not want to go but i went
because I knew i needed to get out of the house.So along we went down
the road.She would speak in this excited tone when she spotted a
bird.She would see a <br />
pretty cloud in the sky and speak in a hushed tone at how lovely it
was.The changing of the seasons would make her so happy.There was a tree
that i walked past each day.During the spring it turned white with
flowers.When we passed that she said to me look..it is wearing it's
wedding dress and I began to smile.I had not realized what a hurry i had
been in until i met her.I did not realize what i had taken for granted
until I met Miss Ruth.<br />

<br />
We would go to the store and I would wander around and sometimes we
crossed paths and she was teaching me even in there.I learned how to
shop better because of her.But little did i know that she was paying
acute attention to things that i liked.She did not say much to me but
she was doing just that.Sometimes I would be deep in my computer and I
would hear a knock on the door and occasionally I would let out a sigh
as I did not want to be disturbed.Yet she would say in a slightly <br />
conspiratorial tone.Come look what i did.So I would follow her to the
kitchen and there piled all over the island and the table would be my
favorites.Things I loved.Things I had mentioned in passing that i
liked.She would find me organic eggs and organic peanut butter for me.Or
piles of tomatoes.It was then that I would find myself ashamed at how i
reacted.But we learn in time how to be better people don't we.<br />
<br />
Sometimes I would go into the kitchen and find a single solitary cracker
with a smidge of peanut butter on it.Sitting next to a jar of organic
peanut butter.I do not know how long she spent scraping this jar to get
the last of it out for me.But in this she taught me patience.She showed
me determination and not to waste things.So I would have my cracker and
think of her.I began to make it a point to hug her when i could.To help
her with the table.To try and set things or clean up later to help her
where i could.<br />
<br />
I remember small trips to the local organic store and watching her
carefully buy things for her family.Of which I was now honored to feel a
part of.She welcomed me into her home and her heart.I saw her picking
up things and weighing what she wanted.I remember she did not seem to
have a car in the world of what other people thought of her.She was at
peace and gave nothing but comfort to other people.She did her best to
cheer up anyone she saw was down.Or if she saw someone sitting along she
would speak to them.She is a well of comfort and love.<br />

<br />
Moving around with her i learned these things from her.I think that
maybe that was what was intended.A passive learning class so to speak.I
was the pupil and i was absorbing more than i knew.<br />
At her home she asked so little of anyone and yet did so much.She had
her own room filled with positive things.Books obviously cared for.On so
many topics that were of interest.Books I could have spent hours
looking at.She would meditate quietly in her room a soft waft of incense
permeating her room.I would knock lightly sometimes to ask her
something.Although i hesitated to do so as I knew how tired she
sometimes became.<br />
<br />
We would sit sometimes and talk for hours as i slowly grew as a person.I
began to see what was more important.Not so much the hurry to get from
place to place but how you get there.The people you meet.The chances you
get to change peoples lives with just a small smile.Perhaps offering
someone an ear if they needed to talk.To do things with no expectation
of payment.We had a neighbor and she had many children.She was a very
loving person all her own.I did not know all that they did together but i
know that their friendship was a great comfort to Miss Ruth.I know that
they collaborated together and found a synergy that you do not often
see.One giving to the other and in return likewise.Funny but whenever
one seemed to have a need the other seemed to have the solution.<br />
<br />
Miss Ruth made me aware of so many things in the world which led me to
the Dalai Lama.This was the turning point again for me.I put his book on
my MP3 player and just walk each morning and be almost on the verge of
tears as i listened to him speaking and nodded the whole time in
understanding.It was as if the reason for understanding manifested
itself within Miss Ruth and led me to this peace that I find filling my
heart each day.I am not perfect.I do still get overcome with my anger
but i try to mend my ways.I see anger as something that is an easy way
out and I have to try to find a better way now.<br />

<br />
As i approached my time to leave the place i now called home I realized
that no matter where I go I have my mother with me now.A woman who did
not have to take me in but did.Someone who did perhaps see a late
bloomer appearing before her and had the patience to wait until some of
my petals unfolded.She took me in and filled my heart with joy and I
will forever be grateful to her for helping me to become who I am
now.When people ask me how i am the way I am i atribute it to my
mother.She took something damaged and helped to heal me.She only helped
guide me to where I am now.I miss being able to hold her and tell her
that I love her and thank you.The most painful part for me was getting
out of that van and going into the airport.<br />
<br />
But getting on that plane has led me to the most joy I have ever
experienced in my life thus far.It helped me to open up to the people in
my life and share the love i now understand better.It helped me to find
my soul mate.Literally Alex is my other half of my soul.He completes me
in every way.When he is apart from me I miss him so much.But if it had
not been for meeting the people i did like Miss Ruth I do not know that
such joy would be mine to celebrate now.I had to let go of all of that
anger and sadness.The disappointments in my life and the struggling to
better myself.To hide my feelings and not let them show.To let go of all
of this and let life show me that there is a a reason to go on with
arms open.<br />
<br />
The people in my life now are a blessing.I can name a few.My friend
cynthia is an absolute joy to me with her bubbly personality and her
trust in me as a friend.She is a soft kitten who i absolutely
cherish,Barry with his soft kindness and intelligent advice,Christopher
in new york with his coffee and brilliant personality and loyalty beyond
measure,Gregory who I listen to and discover a beautiful layer
underneath all of his pain,Rosidey with the light within her showing me
such wonderful possibilities,Alex my neighbor who is so kind and
generous and we are lucky to have him so close by,Alex's nan and mother
are both sweet and accepted me right away making me feel
welcome,Patricia Anne you lovely mouse,you treasure to my heart.I love
you so much,Ishy for listening and talking to me.For remaining a
wellspring of knowledge and common sence.For <br />
being the beautiful person that you are.Go Lady :),Bend for being honest
and to the point and always helping us when we need it,Salina who just
makes me laugh and generally is a beautiful lovely woman.All of you
thank you.I am certain there are more people I may have left out.Forgive
me if i did not mention you but there are so many that have come into
my life recently that take my breath away.<br />

<br />
While I have a way to go still I have all of this to thank really to
Miss Ruth at the beginning.Thank you so very much for accepting me.Thank
you for showing me things that I needed to see and learning things I
did not know.May you have joy and peace in your life.May you have a
heart filled with warmth.May you know that you are loved dearly over
here.I miss you with all my heart.i carry you with me every step of the
way.You are a beautiful astounding human being. Namaste...My mother.<br />
