The experience with Steffi and her family was lovely. It was a very relaxing experience, which was just what I needed after the first adventure. The weather was nice and sleepy there too!
The first day we did go into Toronto for a fair though, and that was an interesting experience unto itself! Being in Toronto and Montreal actually reminded me a lot of India. I thought when I was India that it was the lifestyle that shocked me. But a lot of it is simply the shear amount of people in one location. Being from Halifax is kind of like being on a great big pillow. It’s so comfortable, and so peaceful in so many ways. And yet it can be awfully hard to get off that pillow even when an inspired idea comes through. But shit, if that is the biggest “problem” then I think we are doing all right!
Anyway, lots of people in one place is simply a different type of experience – And I am grateful to check it out – I feel that right now a slower pace is good for me though. But as Steffi and I discussed, if I lived there I would adapt fast and create a life there that was perfect for what I am doing. We humans can be really adaptive when we allow!!
It was also really interesting to be in a space where there was lots of news programs – Not just at Steffs, but everywhere – The frequency was very clear in the air. And the main focus was very much “Us versus Them” – you know the ones who are smart and the ones who are stupid. The ones who are living in a respectable way and the ones who aren’t. The rich and poor, etc…
Again, interesting to say the least.
I remember one time I was at a friends house a few months ago. I hadn’t watched the news since before leaving for India, maybe even for about a year – Not even by accident. Then the lady looked at the screen and said, “A woman and her son were found dead in _____” – I almost peed myself laughing. Not because the woman and son had this experience, but because this is somehow entertaining or informing for people. I cannot picture how a person’s life might be in any way added to, and deepened by hearing that story.
Also, the fact that our newscasters have to act without expression is interesting. I do not feel that they should be upset or anything. It’s just interesting that it is someone’s job to say stories about other people’s lives without any expression.
I talk about these kinds of subjects a lot, but if someone were to read this and think “Yeah! Lets get rid of it” – Sorry my brother or sister, but that isn’t it either!!
I feel that the television, internet and cell phones are grand gifts. I do not feel that we need to get rid of them in any way. However, IF people (myself included) were to use this technology in alignment with the natural gifts we all posses – I feel it would just look different. And that the same frequency, which is being used for one type of experience, might be more conducive for a deeper knowledge of Self.
A friend and I were talking about if there were TV channels, which were simply displaying a color – Perhaps, even a color that is picked up in your aura when its healing effects would be helpful.
We are already living in paradise, perhaps a twist on a few things we already have would make a huge difference. It all starts at home in the inner world though. Nothing can move faster than anything else. As we are all connected and this outer world is a reflection of the inner world we all share.
Well that was a nice rant!
Leaving Steffs place was cute – I am SO excited for her adventure, and she is leaving so soon. It almost seems ridicules that the linear experience of “departing” is even happening. When something is in line, it just feels so fucking good!
I was more than honored to come and give a hug to someone I love so dearly before a life-changing experience!
One topic that came up over the weekend I would love to talk about. When we start to learn that the way we are thinking and feeling has an effect on reality. Very often the first thing that happens is we get freaked out about what we have thought or felt before. Creating in the present another layer of guilt and confusion.
I feel that it is very important to be gentle with our selves. Thoughts and feelings of all kinds come up a lot. Some of them predict and assume really terrible things. As a start when we are working through these things. I feel it’s important to ALLOW WHAT IS THERE TO BE THERE – and THEN, to focus on what it is we are already, or want.
If we can first accept that the stories are playing, acknowledge those stories, HONOR those stories and then after they have got the spotlight, move the spotlight into presence and what it is we actually are or want, then it cuts away a lot of illusion and allows us to stay with -what is-.
It is very easy when one first learns about ego (You’ll notice I don’t use that word a lot because of the vibration it carries) it is very easy to want to rid your self of it. This is like kicking yourself in the kidney. “The ego” has and does perform a major purpose in our lives. One way to look at it is that ego simply means individual perspective. And there is nothing wrong with that! In fact, but definition it isn’t even a “that” – It simply is as it is.
When “the ego” can become a “problem” is when it is thought that our individual perspective somehow has authority over anyone else’s individual perspective. This happens a lot when people first learn about the nature of self. A distinction needs to be made between essence and projection. And yet, it is the blending of these two portions of Self that leads to “alignment”.
Learning about Who You Are, in the midst of Who You Are Not can be quite a challenge. But again, when a child is learning about something and falls down, you don’t tell him or her that she will never figure it out. You hold a space of patience and allow that child to mature. In a very real sense, this is what we need to do for ourselves at every moment. Luckily, this is not a strategy, but a state of Being, which simply does this all the time – outside of time!
