Sometimes, just don't.

We all get stuck sometimes, and getting ourselves unstuck is how we learn where the treacherous territory is, where the sand is quick and the mud is thick... and to have someone come along every time and pull us out of the muck deprives us of what we came there to learn. That's one reason not to leap in just because someone is in distress, just like not helping a hatchling escape the shell. There are those who cherish their troubles and ailments, who need them and want them for reasons we may... Sign in to see full entry.

A further word about healers and healing

When someone needs a healing, as I use the term, it means they are stuck: their energy is blocked, it is not moving as it should for their well-being. Symptoms of being stuck are depression, tiredness, apathy, boredom, indecision, loss of enthusiasm, irritability... A healing is about getting that energy moving again, getting life moving along again, restoring a sense of personal boundaries and space, and enthusiasm for life. A 'healing' is something that causes energy to become unstuck. It can... Sign in to see full entry.

To Heal or Not To Heal

Most of us are healers. We want there to be happiness, comfort and gratification in the world, and not only for ourselves or our loved ones: we want it for everyone. Maybe we have days when, in fact, we don't feel or behave much like healers, and some of us have developed hard personas of not caring about the other guy, of taking care of Number One, of letting the weak fall by the wayside just as natural selection dictates for most of the species of the world. If you look a few layers under that... Sign in to see full entry.

We can't all be terrorists...

On National Public Radio today, I heard someone decrying the over- and inappropriate usage of the label "terrorist," a word for which, apparently, there is no legal definition. It is one reason that the Gu'ment can do the tricks it does with issues of National Security. To paraphrase what she said, when you call someone a terrorist for failing to leash their dog, what do you call someone who blows up your dog to get you to agree with them? She suggested other handy short-cut terminologies for... Sign in to see full entry.

Ripples

OneTimeAgain's recent post about her grandfather, and a comment to it, roused these thoughts: When my father retired, they threw a party for him, and in the guestbook, which I received a few years later, among other family papers, there were the most amazing comments of warmth and appreciation for his achievements in the field, and his impact on their lives. One part of me was surprised and proud to see how they regarded him, but another part of me was angry, that he never shared this side of... Sign in to see full entry.

Attraction and Healing Across Time

Helen Bach's comment in my just-previous post--"Although I can't help being curious about past lives, I've got enough to worry about in this life without having to worry about past problems!"--inspired this response: Other lives are indeed full of problems, but they are also full of solutions. The usefulness of reading past-lives, or other-lives, is sometimes about resolving very old issues, but often it is about finding solutions of old issues that might be profitably applied to similar,...

Another thought multiple lifetimes...

Other Lives I would not live forever in a single suit of clothes. I would not care to memorize forever each stain and tear or keep track of every button lost. Thankfully, I forget, from time to time, the progress and the passage and the passages through which I wend my way... The details of hard lessons, happily, escape me. It is enough, the thing I learned, and moving on. Sign in to see full entry.

Mystery Photos

Some of these are easy-- some, not so much... None of these have been greatly altered by photoshop-- maybe just saturated a bit, but not whirled or touched up with special effects. Sign in to see full entry.

Whacky and Taps...

variations on the requested themes... this one is related to the aloe vera... and with leaves like these, who needs flowers? How about a creeping sort of cactus probably related to Cholla? Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
