my life after Near Death Experiences

2012-01-27T19:22:00.000-05:00

I have met the face of the dregs of the collective unconscious!

I was sitting on the patio of the Black Dog Cafe coffeehouse, on Lake Ella, and I suddenly Saw the whole pain of the dregs of the collective unconsciousness. There is such a thing. it is probably 400,000+ years old. This is Life without Goodness that comes from spirit. This is life without Hope, without light, without love.
We all Know this terrible face well, it is the True Sin Of Adam, passed down from generation to generation and we know it from our mother's knee, onwards.

here is some of its Unbeauty!
---whenever some thing good happens to you, something just as bad will immediately follow!
---when you get a check in the mail, the next letter will be a bill for the same amount.
---enjoy a bit of spring warmth? better enjoy it as the big freeze will come tomorrow!

---all strangers are not to be trusted.
---the blacks, nigers, are not to be living anywheres near me!
---homosexuality is a sin.
---immigrants go home!

---everything is going to hell in a handbasket!
---life's a bitch; then you die.
---[in India] life's a bitch then you die. life's a bitch then you die. life's a bitch then you die.
life's a bitch then you die. life's a bitch then you die. life's a bitch then you die.
[REINCARNATION!!]

---the sun will burn into a black clinker of ash, some day, the universe will too, anything that you do is just like of an inchworm climbing up the wall of a descending elevator, why *do* anything?!
[this version is epidemic amongst college professors!]

If you want a Pure Version of this "dregs", just go to any large city Bag lady and ask her about life. Most of these ladies will tell ya for hours, in hydrochloric acid-tinged tones. each lady must have ten shopping carts full of "chits" to present to God, after they arrive in the afterlife, chits, one for each bad thing that happened to them in their life!

a balloon keeps fully inflated by "positive pressure" from within. Lacking this Positive pressure, the balloon slowly deflates and then just sinks behind the living room davenport couch, only to vanish in a weak "poof", when the cat pounces on it!

One must have something of Soul and Spirit, within, to keep that life-fountain overflowing with Goodness. Otherwise. like some of the residents here in my senior home, one could become that Bitter Old man or Woman!

spring has come to visit.

spring has come to visit Tallaahassee, florida. we have 20 winters and 21 springs a year, as maybe next week the temperature might fall to 25 degrees, then a few days later will warm up to 70. Tis about 72 now.
I consider spring, here, to begin about now and will last until early May! Months and months of spring.

the birds Know: they are singing in overdrive!

so here in this city clutter, spring comes to visit.

marines peeing on dead taliban

2012-01-14T19:05:00.001-05:00

ah yes.     The papers are full of this thing, Our marines pissing upon dead enemy.

here are some of my thoughts, in no organized order.

Makes every green blooded new ager *just want to bring all the troops home*!

In a way, the Taliban have it all over us:   they "ask" us all, "what would you die gladly for, what principle is worth this"?!    we would say "nothing"!     The taliban would gladly blow themselves up to kill many innocents, this is their fast track to a wonderful eternal life.
But we Americans have nothing worth this sacrifice.

Ah yes, if we pull out, they will have full reign to eat up the world, to convert the world.
How about every Peaceful new ager woman then being veiled and to live with her Man to serve him and if she fails, by his estimations, he could kill her and no police will ever ever knock on his door!

Ah yes, we can through drugs and education and other things to "turn all of our boys into girls"! then no more aggressions, no more violence.
Do not tell this to most policemen as they have seen who is by far the most violent fighters!

fighting women will scratch and claw without mercy.

Those troops did the Taliban, unfortunately, a HUGE favor by doing this!    but this is the Price of war. war is not gentle. all sides torture and maim. violence speaks to violence.
"peace" often begets yet more violence.
[the abducted woman who submits to her captor is likely to be killed!]

I have read of some spiritual writer who wrote that if someone found a way to prevent all wars, God would instantly give to him a heart attack to kill him! why?!
--because some souls NEED war to act out their life drama! therefore there has to be Stages made, just for this. the Trick is...to eventually get souls spiritually educated enough so that war is not now anymore needed, in their lives.
Problem is, though, I feel brand new souls are coming into birth for their first incarnations, all of the time and even now. *they* will need war and if they do not have it , why be like that child who misses a stage of life development, he will never ever catch up for the rest of his life!    :Honor, Valor, courage, and probably 50 other soul attributes, are only Forged during Battle.

I had to do it.

removed the webring rings!

for months now, if I scrolled down the sidebar of my blog early before all of my page loads, the page immediately switches to the currant webring page on a webring!
today when this happened, an audio advertisement came up to begin playing.

I went then to *look* at this "depressed thinkers" page only to find that apparently the "good people" have left the ring a looooong time ago.

I do not have the patience or time to check out each and every Ring, take me days.

so long, it was nice, once.

P S
.......I now find that this blog page, as long as it is, loads INCREDIBLY faster without the webring code boxes!

here at Georgia belle, the Independent living senior home, where I live, the time is now about 5 PM and the day is the last day of 2011. In a few hours the Party will begin! 2012 will enter and some people, out there, who follow the Mayan calendar, will now begin to bite their nails!
[there are forums where there is a post every week telling how the world will end next week, and *every* week there is such a post!]

So I wish everyone a happy new year and maybe it be benevolently interesting.

I do not dare to take a picture of the people, later, at this party as "no one is ready" for a photo!
between the older generation being more reluctant to have their picture taken and the fact that they, now, would "have to spend an hour or three getting ready for the photo", i do not take pictures of most seniors.
I guess they want to be known for their 30s face!
their 80s face needs *some* preparation, probably!

But come 8:30 and there will be people dancing and eating and socializing. Does not matter if someone is 85, many here 80+ still can dance. some just sit and watch, thinking of their youth.
Be young in heart.

Russian Orthodox Icon of Jesus

Russian Orthodox Icon of Jesus

Russian Orthodox Icon of Jesus.

I always wanted one of these Eastern orthodox Icons for my apartment.
One day I found a site on the internet.

www.jordanville.org/

the largest Russian Orthodox monastery outside of Russia. Tis located North of New York city.

quote:
Holy Trinity Monastery is a male monastic community under the auspices of the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. We are dedicated to a life of prayer and obedience according to the pre-revoluntionary monastic tradition. We draw our origins from the Pochaev Lavra of St. Job of Pochaev in Southern Ukraine when monks fled from Pochaev in the face of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. As descendants of the Lavra of Pochaev, we continue the mission established by St. Job in the 15th century to publish books for the edification and protection of the faithful. Within the monastery is located a studio and school of Russian iconography conducted by disciples of master iconographer Fr. Cyprian (Pijoff). Also situated within the monastic community is Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary, with young men from around the world training for the holy priesthood and ministry within our Church. Consisting of impressive buildings and an other-worldly way of life, Holy Trinity Monastery is a source of spiritual nourishment and support for the Orthodox Church.
=======

Here,

iconstudio.jordanville.org/

you can order a photo Icon for yourself. Ranges from about $2.50 to about $7.00 for a 8 x 10.
There are many Icons, mostly of Jesus, Mother Mary and Jesus, and Russian saints.

I have this photo hanging on my wall, now, where I took the photo of it. Tis difficult to position
this Icon, it being so reflective, to not have reflections bounce back at the camera!

Tis Amazing what one can find, on the internet. Anyone living in New York City area can go visit this place, west of Albany.

yes, another pretty orange sunset, from my west bedroom window, here in Tallahassee, Florida.

And the sun and clouds "dare" to be beautiful! "dare", as in these days of bad news and ruining weather disasters, there is beauty to be found. You have to be Looking for it. then be "Empty" when it is there!

"empty" like years ago, I walked past the University library, at sunset, and I could see not only the incredible sunset, I could see that the hundreds of students, coming and going through this library entrance, never noticed this sunset! their heads must have been full of study and course material: they were not empty, no room for a sunset in *their* brain. Their souls must have gotten a bit starved, after years of Not Noticing!
so today there are the "electronic" Zombies! these are people who, with ear buds plugged into their ears and with them texting on their phones, there is also no room for sunsets!

more about Demonstrators and morals!

2011-10-31T18:15:00.000-04:00

hi all.

Today in the local tallahassee democrat newspaper there was an article about

how a young person, in an attempt to rob a cabdriver, he shot and killed this cabdriver. Then the police found what he wrote in his facebook page, afterwards. And this TERRIBLE little snippet will stick with me for life, probably!

I cannot recall the words, they were in "street talk" and very coarse and cruel.

--something to the effect of..."I popped off his head, tra la la....he got his dues, got His for resisting me"...or something like that.

[paper must be paid subscribed to, thus i cannot get the exact words!]

I saw in my minds eye a young black kid with no real parents and I read the statistics about how the county next door has it where 80% of the ladies with babies are unwed and under the age of 22!

babies raising babies and no father present.

I had a black man get enraged at me, called me a racist when I told him, "the poor black race, i feel them them all, they are vehicles for young souls coming in"!

young souls.

we are eradicating many many of the primitive societies and thus fewer and fewer possibilities for baby and young souls to incarnate. thus they tend to incarnate into the poor people families.

for many of these souls the calculus, to me, is utterly simple.

They have.

I do not have.

I *want*!

and that is what counts in life.......me getting it.

a demonstration against the machine?

yes yes, i am against the machine, they say, as it has stuff and i do not have stuff so lets crash and burn them all so that I can get mine!!

young souls probably need a level of Discipline that is not acceptable in any way to us "liberated" older souls! to have *every* path and choice set up for them. to think only in black and white absolutes. "a man is a man and a woman is a woman" and no inbetweens!!

...stuff like this.

so how are we to "teach" these street gangstas that there is spirit and soul and self worth?! no hi-falutin" 12th grade words, than you....!!!

　

there are many young souls enclaves, in the world, where a man's life is worth about $2.00 as that, i read, is the going price for a hit contract upon someone's life, in barios of Brazil, and in the barros of Brazil, the gangs and the police are the same.

millions of these souls Want, and they see a few thousand with the Stuff Wanted. should not take a registered social worker to see what can drive a riot or demonstration!!

there once was a man who devised a economic system where the wealth

of the world is divided up equally between all people. but he did not notice that if, say, one cane worker in Brazil were to buy a pack of ciggarettes at the commisary for $2.00, he will be $2 poorer and the owner of the commesary will be $2 richer!

　

when the body dies, the cells go their own way, the stomach begins to digest itself, the hair keeps growing, all central control is gone.

same with a country that has lost its meaning for directional life to a good spiritual goal! then the citizens begin to tear at each other and then begin to tear the country apart, each person wanting what was promised them at the beginning and now is out of reach!

[image of a 1000 people invading a walmart and looting everything right down to the very shelves and light fixtures!]

for the USA *has* lost its head and there is No one Home!

the "head" is Spirit, a God-centered government with the personal afterlife in heaven as seen as the Goal of all.

Now that this is gone, what else *IS THERE* but making money and making more than your neighbor?! if the tombstone is a door that leads to a "nothing", then the amount of power over others, the "cred" you have, the $$$$ you are worth, your sex drive, the house full of expensive goods, on the hill, with Guards in attendance, Count For All!!

[ten cookies on the ground, 100 crows: there is not enough Material to go around, thus there will be "tooth and claw" to get it! and validated as the highest morality too!!]

...this is the message of the guy who shot this cabdriver, kid won, cabbie lost, kid comes out on top and oooh he is going to have a good story to tell his fellow inmates in prison too, his Hit *and* his facebook post, will be seen by all there, in prison, as a royal good Portfolio addition to his Cred, there in prison!

[he really wins, amongst his fellow street people, the cabbie just is a loser!]

the killing will only enhance his future criminal career!]

how can we change this?

IF we all cannot institute a True christian Solution, maybe the old Roman way would be best: to have the Coliseum and the outlaws will be gladiators with the rest of the people with the same morals, to be the spectators! to encourage these people to get violent conflicts out of their system, in a non-christian way.

I have little solutions except that there are many many young souls amidst us and they have to be taught to live in good young soul ways. you cannot teach 3rd graders algebra or calculus, the "greek-roman" humanities requires older souls to appreciate these truths! and there are very VERY few old souls here today! Thus we have to have ways to educate the infant and baby souls that are here amidst us.

or else crash and burn will probably be our collective fates!

Why I think Occupy Wall street is misguided

2011-10-25T20:00:00.000-04:00

hi all.

why do I think that the "occupy wall street movement is a bit misguided?

Tis Good to vent frustration, but I feel the arrows are going to the wrong target!

I think that the positions of Banker, top CEO, Big Boy in the capitalistic system, all get to the top by having *certain* talents.

Guess what talents are the ones that get you there the best?!

ruthlessness, elbow to the top, money is all, power, ego. selfishness.

These talents are the highest development of the materialistic system. people with these attributes are rewarded. notice i said "materialistic system", not "communism, socialism"!

All three systems are equally materialistic.

Yo Got To get behind the stalk to pull out the root. the root of all of this is that the materialistic system will only see these types of people win!

Do you all want more "Enrons"? multilevel ponzi schemes? you *will*!

Got to get back to a spiritual system where God and Jesus are brought inspiredly into every activity of the economic system, and yes, this means prayers in schools with a huge huge focus on Morals and Ethics and with the entire government being Spiritually focused.

You then would live with Ethics and Morals as upper most thoughts, in your heads.

and hopefully live by them. And live with more Love in your hearts for your fellow men and women. And learn to do discern direct Inspiration from your soul and your Spirit, Inspiration from the Angels and from Jesus himself.

the "liberal left", by removing all traces of spirit from governments, schools, and in daily life too, I feel they are actually ENABLING $$$ materialism $$$ as that is the only thing left to get one out of bed in the morning!!

So as long as materialism is the only way to live, you will have endless repeats of Big Boys at the Top, having it all and ruining the little man! what else would they live for, all else has been taken away?! Thus these demonstrations end up just being some materialists talking to other materialists! *Got* to get beyond the idea that the physical world is all there is to existence! You will live forever, best to try to live, a bit, like you are in heaven, already.

world's smallest tropical storm! [Flickr]

2011-10-18T15:58:38-07:00

freestone posted a photo:

Yes, I call this afternoon of rain "the world's smallest tropical storm"! here in Tallahassee, Florida, just north of the gulf of Mexico, I see hurricanes and tropical storms and tropical depressions form in the tropics, all summer long.

like living in a bowling alley lane, down by the pins.

a tropical depression is just a mass of rain. when the clouds with rain begin to rotate around a center, this is the tropical storm and maybe there are 10 tropical storms compared to one hurricane.

these things *can* form right up as far north as the gulf coast.

so last night a patch of rain formed over the Gulf and today it moved over Tallahassee, a patch of rain maybe 80 miles long and 60 miles wide. *just* as this mass of rain came ashore, the time lapsed radar map shows that this mass of rain began to rotate. Then it died. thus my title, a tropical storm one hour long and covering and area 60 by 60 miles, or so! there was gusts to 30 mph, near the end!

these clouds; the picture taken just after the end, near sundown, show the colors of the passing storm clearing.

end of the rainy season

Yes, the end of the rainy season for this city, Tallahassee. A short season this year, over before the end of september and I have seen it go until end of October. Seems to be ending earlier every year! I have read, in fact, that for the southeast United States, the falls have been cooling for nearly 20 years! Was five degrees below the record of 55 for a low, sometime in mid september too. An all time record. Today, october 4th, was 50 in the morning. Was 45 the morning before.
Hot summers, due to dry, then cold winters.
If those sunspot people are right, those who feel that after the 2012 maximum that there might be *no* sunspots for 20 to 60 years, or more; then "the little ice age" could begin, one could walk across the Thames every winter, in London.
...the new bumper sticker for 2015: "burn soft coal today, keep the next ice age away"!!

yes, even a plain ordinary sunset can be pretty. Tallahassee sure has some pretty clouds, any time of day. I never tire of their ever ever changing shapes and colors. From my forth floor window, sunset.

Near sunset, looking to the east, seeing thunderheads that are under an orange cirrus cloud. Note how the orange glow shines down upon the clouds.

also note that while these cumulus clouds *look* to be "Zoomed" or enlarged; no, they are not!
There is absolutely no "photoshopping" or image manipulation, here, what there was, you see now, as is.

These clouds actually look this close as seen!

enjoy looking at the many many shades of orange and pink, in these clouds.

hurricane sunset. by Lee!

a "hurricane" sunset.. Thanks to tropical storm Lee. here in Tallahassee, florida, the storm now is in upper Alabama but the rain bands of even weaker storms often spread out for 600 miles! earlier this afternoon there was 50 mph winds in a rain band storm where visibility might have been 100 foot. Nothing to fool around with: tornadoes often come with these bands and even 60 mph winds even in a mild storm.
