Not much Fore - how are you doing?

Andy said: Like Popeye, I am what I am today, and will perhaps be slightly different tomorrow. Yes yes yes!! So, before we were aware of dark matter, did it exist? Yes yes yes!! --- we just didn't have a name for it I love re-reading books that had an impact. Favourites on the journey seem to revea...

Take care Webby xx Paul, I'm not sure if I should wade into this conversation. Webby is doing a great job with your queries. I've had the nde experience and spent decades since trying to find the words for it, recognising wisdoms that have filtered down with the essence of truth, and where some 'mis...

Interesting topic and question guy struggles. On anger, my favourite understanding and explanation of it comes from Dr Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' work on natural emotions (mostly in Death is of Vital Importance). She says, natural anger is the intuition and displeasing sensation that arise in response t...

Postscript to my above post about just be it: I have a local bus stop, and sometimes it's a little like the mechanic shop / petrol/gas station in the Peaceful Warrior story. The main character, like in the Peaceful Warrior story is an older man who seems humbly inconsequential, somewhat cranky at ti...

Hi E2B nice to hear from you. Yet, If no choice is truly wrong...and literally just leads to a different experience (which my heart tells me is absolutely the truth)......then what then to make of......even HAVING the choice to choose between love and compassion and not love? If love and compassion ...

Hi Runstrails, great topic. When I was reading through it, I noticed lots of expressing fear of being, worrying about what others will/do think, worrying about not being always what others would regard as 'spiritual' and fear of being judged, and guessing what others would/would not be interested in...

Have you ever tried a quick 'presence wash' while still in bed? You're obviously becoming aware that you're jumping into thoughts, no matter where/when you want to return focus to 'now', for me I signal it with breathing out, which instantly relaxes. Then I take a few moments to 'wash' - close my ey...

Thanks Webby, it was thought provoking presentation. In parts I sort of 'disappeared' into it when it was in harmony. As usual though, I likely have a slightly different experience of it, and in a few parts, much like some of the participants in other anthologies (recalling Neale Donald Walsch's dis...

Hi meetjoeblack, I just caught up on this, in reading the later posts. meetjoeblack said: I always thought, after the bad stuff I saw, all the crap, and death, loss of loved ones, and family, I thought there would be a way forward. Something to counter balance or offset the bad. Its not the case. I ...

Harking back to an old, old, topic Being Human and this thread, this article has me giggling https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/ob ... vOAE9Ve4Z4

Heartfelt condolences Alicia, for me, the energy in the world shifts with a departure, and arrivals too. The same occurs inside us, and what we flow into the world, as you've already noticed. How someone can appear reasonably ok (albeit ill) one day, and the next the essence of them is gone. As well...

Ttiot said: I guess my question is how do I respond to him empathetically without feeding his ego. His ego is literally never satisfied although I know technically that is how it works😂 It takes a ton of mental effort, tiptoeing, and dancing in order to be there for him "properly" when he is down. ...

That's beautiful 'trails. Alicia hugs in your journey through this too. My mum passed from cancer last September, she did really well until the last days too, but even knowing all that we do, it still hurts to adjust. Be kind to you. Xx
