How do you deal with people who want to 'save the world'? Who only talks about how important it is that we save the world? That's not so bad unto itself, but many times these are the same people who will never talk about themselves, what THEY are actually doing to "save the world" or even in general or even who they really are. Sometimes I think the need to save the world (not just the desire for change) is the only way they can express that THEY need help or attention - it just seems like they've left themselves behind. This comes particularly obvious when you engage them in conversation for any length of time. I mean, if you had a friend who only talked about saving the world, wouldn't you eventually stop having lunch with them because of the preaching and repetition? Or say something like, "I am doing this and this because I believe in them. What are you doing?" Sometimes you really have to talk about the details or the concepts become meaningless blather- you have to wed the two.
I really DON'T have a cow fetish *grin* but these things just find me.... LOL... here's something I never would have thought of as being cow-related... A Colombian hairdresser claims he's found a cure for baldness that involves a cow licking the hairless scalps of his customers. The barber from Pereira around 100 miles east of the capital Bogota uses a special tonic for the cow to massage into the pate with its tongue. One of his customers said the treatment has made him feel more masculine and more attractive to women. CNN quoted Henry Gomez as saying: "My friends even say: 'What are you doing? You have more hair. You look younger'." I'm wondering if this is to the cow, what frog licking is for humans?
Hey, the new Dec-Jan Conscious Creation Journal is now online! There are NINE actual articles in it this time, (along with great columns and cool depts as well) I think that's a new record - LOL. Big thanks to all readers and contributors - I have great fun putting it all together. :-)
(from Blue Moon News) "Colleen Moore was a famous movie actress of the Silent Screen. All her life she had dollhouses, each one getting more complex and more detailed than the last one. After she had made a tidy little sum acting, she was talking to her father about their passion, collecting miniatures. He told her she should build the "Fairy Castle" she had always dreamt about. And so she did. In 1926, work began on the Colleen Moore Fairy Castle. It took over nine years to complete this colossal miniature world. Over 700 craftsman and artisans were involved in the building of this dream. It resides at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry... The Castle stands twelve feet at its highest point, and nine feet square. It has its own plumbing and electrical system, with hot and cold running water. In the great central hall are floors of carved ivory with carved rose vines that flow into the golden pillars, growing right up to the hand carved ceiling overhead. Two stories above are the beautifully painted dome ceilings, painted by Helga Brabon, where the Grimm Fairy Tales, and Hans Christian Anderson stories are enacted for all eternity." ... Anyway, you get the idea - to SEE this castle, click here: http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/fairy_castle/fchome.html
The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them. -- Albert Einstein (one of my absolute favorite quotes!)
Finally, an organization and even perhaps a political party I can get behind! *grin* The World-Wide Federation of Witches & Wizards For a Free World (Thanks for the link, Summer! (oh, and great collage image you created and posted on your page!)) We appear, actually and/or virtually, in public actions (political rallies, protest actions, shopping malls, birthday parties, etc.), Dressed in robes & pointy hats, casting spells for a better tomorrow! Literally! A better next day for all concerned! Who could argue with that? This will bring a bit of color, imagination, &, well, dash, to the dismal process of changing the world! As the American life is painfully materialistic, narrow, humorless, khaki-colored and suicidal, what else but wizardry is called for? What do we want? To Change the World! How do we do it? Gently!
Sometimes the reasons that I THINK I've done something are just surfacy explanations for why I've once again followed my intuition. It occurred to me a while ago that the rigid rules that we often live by are completely powerless unless backed up by our creative energy - for instance, just tell a baby when it should be born - LOL. It'll come when it's damn well ready. And in truth, we can apply that same process to things such as monthly bill payments, but we tend not to think of them like that. We BELIEVE in their rigid structures and the bad things that will happen when we don't adher - that gives them the energy to seem real. But, it also takes a lot of EFFORT to be so scheduled and rigid in this way, because it's not necessarily working with the natural ebb and flow of energy. And it seems weird and wrong (according to the rational mind), but when I've actually had the courage to just follow my intuition, particularly when I'm NOT doing something by the rules, it's easy and turns out just FINE. My intuition is always right because it's me communicating with my creative energy - it's not believing the silly rules and stories we tell ourselves about what SHOULD be.
The channeled entity Bashar has said a very similar thing about time travel - if you traveled back and killed your grandfather, you would be playing with an alternate probability or probable past - creating it anew right THEN, not messing with the moment that already existed. This is another excellent expression of fifth dimensional thinking - multiple worlds, multiple probabilities, not just linearity. Perhaps there's no such thing as a paradox - only a paradox at one level of thinking - and you just have to expand your thinking a dimension to solve them? Cool!
Did you ever wonder if the "red" you're seeing is the same as the "red" others see? And how would we ever know? What if suddenly we could see MORE colors - the light spectrum was more visible or discernible to us? Well, most of us right now are assumed to be trichromates, with red, green, and blue cone sensors, but this woman just might be a TETRAchromate with an additional sensor somewhere between red and green. This reminds me of the book Vanishing Point where there are odd probability shifts and suddenly there are paint cans with strange names on them on the shelf, and the characters are too freaked by the thought to even open the cans and look - afraid of what they might see or NOT see.
I apologize for the lack of cow-related photography in this blog lately. *grin* To make up for that, I give you - the bellowing cow series!
Her calf was lagging behind and she was calling him and he'd answer in a kind of "marco" - "polo" type relay. He finally caught up with her and the rest of the herd. From then on, she stopped bellowing and just grumbled occasionally - ever hear a cow grumble? Sounds like a growl, but I don't think you can say that cows GROWL - LOL.
Interesting info on hair turning colors from Blue Moon News: "According to G. M. Gould and W. L. Pyle, the hair is liable to undergo certain changes of color connected to modification of the hair shaft and root, and the part of the bulb that secretes the color. One case quoted by Rayer, reports on a case of a young lady who after a severe fever which followed a very difficult labor, lost all of her hair, which when it grew back was coal black. She was originally a blonde. The same scientist tells of the case of James B., who was born with brown hair. But during the course of a high fever lost all of his hair, too. When his hair came back in, it was called the "brightest red I have ever seen," by Mr. Rayer. White and gray hair have even been known to turn different colors, as reported by a Mr. Bruley. He recorded the case of a woman in 1798 whose hair had gone from quite white due to her sixty years of age, to a jet-black just a few days before her death. According to Mr. Bruley, "The bulbs in this case were found to be of great size, and appeared to be gorged with a substance from which the hair derived its color. The small amount of white hairs that remained, on the contrary, grew from shriveled bulbs much smaller than those producing the black hairs." A very singular case, published early in the century, was of a woman whose natural color was blonde. It seemed that every time she came down with a fever, it would turn a tawny red color. As she was often sick, this apparently happened quite often. According to her doctors, her hair would return to it's normal color as soon as the fever abated." Reminds me of the white streak in Rogue's hair at the end of the X-Men movie. Huh!
New Scientist has a really excellent article on getting away from burning fossil fuels and new vehicle possibilities - it covers a lot of ground and isn't just about what one person is developing over here or what would be possible. It's one of the more comprehensive articles on the subject I've read so far.
Yes! They've finally started filming live action episodes of The Tick (comic book character, also animated series character) - had heard about this a while ago and then NOTHING, and now it's going to be a mid-season replacement on Fox. We watched a clip online a long time ago, and it looked really good - they stayed very close to the spirit of the original character. Patrick Warburton is playing the tick - you may remember him from his "David Putty" character in Seinfeld, the son of the contractor always working on the house in the Dave Barry series, the fiance to Lisa in the News Radio series... etc. I think they have chosen wisely. :-) ... ... ... After successfully getting a cup of coffee from an uncooperative coffee machine at a bus station for a hapless traveler, The Tick triumphantly shouts, "Java Devil, you are now my bitch!"
Bump to the head and you've got amnesia, bump to the head and you remember everything again. This is the stuff soap operas are made of. *grin* But here's a woman who bumped her head and actually regained her sight after 10 years of blindness! What a probability shift!
Okay, I'll admit it - I like much of Robert Downey Jr.'s work, particularly the movie Heart and Souls, and he was actually doing a good job on Ally McBeal too. I remember someone saying that about 15 years ago he used to hang around Shirley MacLaine and had read some of the Seth books. I guess I wish he'd learn to create his reality without his usual drug drama. *sigh*
This is kinda cool. 1000 Journals are being distributed around the United States, in train stations and other public places, and their entries are being tracked on the web at the link above. So far, some of their results are pretty interesting! (If you're interested in helping the coordinators get these journals out to various places, they would welcome your assistance!)
It's Sunday. When you don't have a Mon-Fri, 9-5 job, sometimes you forget to take days off where you don't actually "do" anything. But then, what I do, I LIKE doing, so then what would you do - something ELSE you like doing? *grin* What a dilemma. Luckily the dogs usually stop me from spending TOO much time doing any one thing, particularly on the computer - breaks are good, no matter what you're breaking from. I guess this is the same reason I like having multiple art projects going at the same time - more things to choose from - I guess variety really IS the spice of life. There, wasn't that DEEP?
