September 27, 2023 My September Surprise. It was a Wednesday. I remember talking with Ursula. She came to clean and we talked a little about family and life. We laughed and then she left around 12:30 pm. I have no further memory for many days to follow. The events below were relayed to me by …

Sound familiar? Truth of it: The very part of the brain affected by illness, be it Bipolar or Schizophrenia, is the frontal lobe. The frontal brain also contains judgement and awareness functions.

CONSCIOUSNESS: Lies are destructive. Lies are a cover for anything we want to hide. And, when we try to hide behind Lies, we actually betray ourselves. The Star Wars stories portray this principle simply and effectively. So, we shall shamelessly borrow. And we shall see how easy it is to embrace The Dark Side. It’s easy to justify a …
We are ending a very difficult year. It did not have to be this way. I write this on the last day of 2021, New Years Eve. We are going into the 3rd year of the pandemic. It did not have to be this way. Our thinking has become rigid. We are our own worst …

Do we ever know when we are manic? Not really. We think if we take our meds, we’re fine. Those meds are the safety guard rails. Right? And, in all honesty, we crave a little mania. We are ‘smarter,’ ‘more clever,’ maybe more ‘spiritual,’ definitely more energetic. I never really understood mania. My husband always …

These are the words of Thomas Paine. In his time (c. 1776), Paine was the Champion of the people. He lived in a time of Revolution. And he understood what such chaos does to a person’s Soul.

“Survival of the Wisest” Dr. Jonas Salk What if….. Our planet Earth was experiencing unprecedented deterioration? Wildfires, flooding, iceberg meltdowns, the gulf-stream disappearing and the destruction of our rain forests-to name only a few planet “changes” that are taking place, were REAL?

And, another Principle states “Like attracts like.” Negative thoughts have heavy, dark vibrations. Dwelling in negative vibes are magnetic. They attract more negative/dark thoughts in your life. And these …
Do you know why meditation has lasted thousands of years? It raises vibration. Meditation quiets our mind. That is the real value of meditation. Because when our minds are quiet…the static leaves.
