I go to the supermarket to buy some fruit and I am not sure why, I seem to be picking up the “forbidden fruit” most times. They are as hard as rock. I go to the shop on a daily basis, and my idea of getting fruit and fresh vegetables is so that I can eat them on the day not three weeks later.
Does not make sense to me.
Another thing I have been thinking about – the people at the check-outs – they are always standing up, there are no chairs for them to sit like they have in France for ex. Over there, they probably go on strike over that sort of situation, I cannot understand, with all the profits these supermarkets, the Post Office and all the other shops are making how they cannot make provision for a chair for their employees. I think it is bad for your circulation to be standing up all day.

Cheerio!

Jessica: I wanted to post a comment on Your blog, and then I realised I can’t do that – because I do not know Your e-mail address. Anyhow – I will comment here. I hope that whatever has made You feel what You have, will be overcome. Not the feelings, but the situation You are in. I know how hard it can be when the past comes to haunt You again and many people would hide… but Your personality isn’t the kind to run away from the things we encounter. And I am glad that it is that way. I hope You have the courage and faith in Yourself to proceed Your journey… :)

Much love,
Liina L.

An exerpt from “Rules For Living After Divorce”

…So, consensus is at the heart of a successful divorce. The next piece I believe has to do with something much bigger, and that is changing the belief about divorce, or as Jen puts it, the rules of life after divorce. Divorce is just an example here, any transition that is perceived by mass consciousness as negative, can me made so, even if it is not in reality. Another example might be, getting fired from your job. Terrible? Or is it? How many stories have we heard of people who turned their lives around and succeeded at a much better job after they lost their current job? But at the moment that it happened, I am sure that the person going through it and everyone around them, thought it was the worst thing that could have happened. Life can be hell, if we judge it to be so. And we all do, in fact, as Jen has found out, even if we try not to, mass consciousness will pull us into believing that it is so. If we are new in this business of consciously creating our own reality, we might fall for the well-established belief systems and structures that we live in.
What are the rules of life after divorce? Well, they could be anything you want them to be, if you are courageous and trusting of who you are and your creator abilities. You can have a better life, a better relationship with your ex and your children, a better sense of who you are and what you want, an opportunity to create a fantastic relationship with someone who matches you at this point in time, etc. Or it could be really horrible, both the process and the aftermath, and even the future for ever and ever, just as promised by mass consciousness.
Transitions, especially difficult ones can be the point of separation from who you used to be, to who you want to be. It is a matter of choice, courage, and trust. Once again, these are simple concepts, yet difficult to practice. The difficulty has to do with the lack of support of those around you who are still buying in, into mass consciousness. With the appropriate facilitation and support, anyone can live a grand, life of their dreams.

Dear Alexandra,

Where are you living? Your post intrigates me, though I know it happens. What I can say but wish you best days for you and all your country? It makes me think about a book that changes my way of perception a bit, in the past. It is about “The pleague”, by Albert Camus. Albert Camus develops the absurdity from believing in something, when everybody believes in. The main character is a doctor. Most of the book is about his behaviour towards that disease that decimates people more and more. And why some are dying from, and some not? He notices that the more the people flee from the pleague the faster they die. Him, he’s a doctor, so in a way, he’s forced to face the horror. His lack of fear, and action make it cross the time, make it touch the pleague, without being ill.
As for the children, I understand it is a peculiar case. They are fragile and out of defense. I couldn’t tell really. But if they were living with the habit that we could heal diseases miraculously, then it may be not happen. If they were living surrounded by material that uses ecologic manoeuvres, then, the strange case you live would vanish.

I send you strengh and love dear.
May the angels be with you, and your neighbour.

Achieving Dreams vs. Maintaining Relationships

Is there really a disparity, an invisible gap, between achieving your dreams and maintaining good relationships?

When a person tries to focus to achieve his or her dreams and in the event of giving all their time to achieving their dreams, they lose their connection with you, can you blame them?

No. If they did not deliberately do it. But there is no question that you are hurt.

So who is the real enemy? No one. Just time and space.

You just have to have faith. More faith. Faith that the person achieving his or her dreams will not forsake you at the end of time and space.

Faith is the answer.

To everything.

Yesterday, I bought a keyboard and a mouse. Both wireless. Well, I was happy, as I wanted some for long, to be in a comfortable position to write. Happy also to put my old furnitures aside. But soon, I thought about spare. And a cartoonist bubble-image formed in my brain a huge heap of waste.

Later I glanced throughh a leaflet that was there on the table, I don’t know why, as I decided to automatically put them to the dustbin; thinking about the tree’s waste. Some say it’s ok because, those trees are especially growned up to it. Great!
In the leaflet, several computers, phones, printers… I was looking for those pages, telling myself all those material and polluted things will finish at the top of the huge heap. Or maybe into oceans…

Why do we need to create so much materials? To compensate for our impossibility to reach the no-material space? In which one, we can make appear and disappear all things? Here, on Earth, things are not disappearing, they are built by millions everyday.

So I returned to myself and my new wireless life. And realized: do all those materials poulluting things scattered the world because a lot of people like me, want new new new and new things, or is this the production that’s completely crazy, and immature?
It might deals with both. Some change should be healthy.

Love.

If we observe, we realise that ‘energy’ (let it be in any form) has a chain. In fact, it occurs in chain or even cycle. It can not be destroyed. We can just convert it from one form to another.

I think even ‘good act’ forms such chain.

As only energy can create energy, same way only good can create well.

Good done to you motivates you to do some good.

A person, who is shunned and neglected by the society, can never serve others.

In addition, I really think that this may be the main cause behind the outcry that “people are showing apathy towards others and feel indifference”

Nevertheless, I think, that is just because nobody showed sympathy to him or her or may be; they have never seen the sympathy shown to others by any other person also.

The opposite of ‘love’ is not ‘hate’ its apathy, indifference.

The moment, we will start feeling that even we are responsible for those underprivileged, who in spite being part of society, can not access the basic needs of human being..will be the realisation moment.

it is time to start the chain….
