finding that the bulk of my waking thoughts embrace some slim sliver of regret (which I heard matures with age) and this being the case, I want to retard its growth as early as possible, giving it nothing further to collect and manifest into something unmanageable. I am understanding quickly from observance of my parents friends and people within their age range 70-90) that being full of regret is no way to grow old.

I am grateful I have birth-parents and steps, all of which have my best interest at heart, to demonstrate what gratitude does for removing regret, especially when performed in a ritual of thanks every morning upon waking and every night before drifting off to the other life . . . the dream life. In that ritual of thanks, something deep within the soul nourished by a mind-set completely void of ego the higher thinking emerges and the intellectual state(s) of being in which most feel so humbled by their religion, may seem suppressed by some unseen but certainly felt shackle.

Humanity is a very interesting word for it means taking on the human characteristics and going through the motions with feeling, and yet if you look at the examples of the human race in your own backyard, are you convinced we and they are acting according to plan ? Do you like it ? What would you do to change it (if you had the power ) ?

just curious, till next time,

I feel if you don't put the right things like food, exercise, love into your body chances are IT will not respond in a fashion that is conducive to 'feeling really good about yourself'. In the cases of allergies, sensitivities and just pure lack of appetite or ambition, as the enlightenement advisor, I make it my job to inform you of all the things you can do to make that body LOVE you right back. If you are curious as to what I offer and where or how, please check out my website and thank you for stopping by . . .

name you are about to (or already have) call someone that has crossed you in some fashion ?

Is it the different connotations that either Webster or some teacher told you it means that gets us riled, or is it the fact that in calling someone that name we yield power ? If it is about power it is only temporary as the blow of being called something we do not like wears off and a retaliation is delivered. So when we say something hurtful I feel it is best to be rolled off the shoulder and away from the body. Easier said than done, right ?

The argument continues, more ammunition has been added because past faults that have not yet been forgiven, loom in the future of the argument. Both parties are well aware, or at least one is. So what then ? More name-calling to yield more power which ultimately is power that is destroying the integrity of both parties and ultimately crumbling the relationship. 

So why do some individuals resort to name-calling ? I believe after having been called a womans body part that my retaliative-nature kicked in fast enough only to call the one who called me a body part, another body part, only male. During the argument I really only felt a bit of temporary relief to retaliate in a fashion that would hurt instead of make a good and fair point. In retrospect though, after the fact, the whole argument  made no sense really, except that what was said was meant to hurt.

If two people who cannot see eye-to-eye on something, should they walk away until they can so that name-calling is not an option? I know again easier said than done . . . But here is the thing: I want to make peace with most of the world and the ONLY way I can do that is by nurturing peaceful existence in my immediate surroundings. Those immediate surroundings involve a few other cognitive constructs within bodies that have their OWN way about going through the rest of their life, with or without me in it. These are survivalists and this is their journey too. I guess when you are arguing with someone you fail to recognize this is part of their journey and only you are helping them write their chapter, instead of letting them write it alone as it should be.

A fight or argument fuels passions, ignites emotions, satisfies cravings otherwise unattended to; but in the end the argument or fight only accomplished one thing and its a doozie, it hurts ! No matter which way you look at power-struggles just to be accepted; the fact is we hurt each other and sometimes sorry is just all you can say when you mean really, REALLY mean so much more . . .

I am sorry to ALL of you that I hurt so badly since my arrival onto planet earth 44 years ago, my ancestors are not impressed. In a soon-to-be-expected visitation in 2012, I hope I can be seen as the intellect they are proud to inherit as their own, for right now me and my shadow are not liked by many inhabitants of this planet while loved deeply by only a mere few. 

So in my ramblings throughout my existence here, I realize humbly I am VERY imperfect & I do not believe I am ready to move forward into the cosmos with the other intellects because I can still hurt the ones I love with the wrong words and I felt powerless in the end.

'till next time the enlightenment advisor

As the Enlightenment Advisor I have to provide resources for ALL outlets people use to build their awareness of a something more. This means avenues of exploration already used centuries ago, decades ago, a few months ago, a few hours ago maybe and even those that have not yet been met from someone else's lips to my ears . . . I am still intrigued in the stories of every being here on earth, trapped in a physical body host, having left it for while and wandering, or just plain rid of it and moved onto greater challenges as a being of light, dark or somewhere in the between.

I had been given the opportunity to chisel out from a granite of disbelief some very interesting signals I tap into when exploring the paranormal field that requests one delve into the psychic phenomena, the supernatural arena, the place where some of our religions and cultures forbid us to partake in. If empiricism is what makes you a firm believer then you must change your constructs to include instead of abstain from, the idea that not everything can and will be scientifically empirically affirmed. It just is and that is the true basis of faith my friend,

*Honest to goddess, these little cuties WERE NOT hovering above any of the graves when we physically visited this Chagrin River teeeny weeny cemetary around this time two years ago; however, upon downloading them onto the scanner from camera, they miraculously or intentionally 'appeared'. On some searches years back this very place is void of any activity. I look into the history of cemetaries because they are quite useful when examining the possibility of proving an after-life and communicating with it. I slightly felt as if i were watched but that could of been just by mere god-created creatures like squirrels or perhaps deer because nothing sinister nor over-whelming engulfed me this very cool late-fall eve . . . If these traveling souls did not want to be captured on film, too late here is my proof which I hope stirs at least curiosity in some.

I really enjoy some very basic things that make existing blissful.
I love music so I indulge in sounds, lyrics, songs that evoke a
myriad of emotions based on the theme. I live life fully which
means to me, with ALL of what a higher power gave me at
my moment of conception. The basic things besides music,
is sleep which I deprive myself of during regular lunar hours
because of an ego addicted to insomnia ! Music, sleep, a
schedule all my own, undertaking this much-needed sense
of freedom. 

When I say I have a 'small' window of independence, I mean
that if those who know me or live with me or love me when it is
convenient for them, learn to give me a few hours a week for
just me, it tends to bring out the very best in me.  

As a writer I stick to myself, currently avoid the masses, sit with
the many words to make sentences for characters who will live
vicariously through me, the writer with a wonderful 'small' window
of independence. I can offer laughs, tears, fears and wonders
but in my words what I don't write to readers the window of
'independence' is the smallest. I give me the second path
while readers, you, the first. I render myself secondbest, you
the reader, my first priority.

As a writer I lend myself the joy in my 'small' window of
independence and hope to bring a greater joy by bringing it
into your sense of awareness and enlarge your 'small' window
of independence . . . but I don't believe anyone wants their
window enlarged or even wiped clean. 

Do you ?

Honestly I buy bottled, purified water in plastic jugs because I detest fluoride and what it
does while caring little about the excess leftover unused plastic bottles that will accumulate,
ugggh I am addding to that pile . . .
