Right Awareness - Truth right now!

Seeing things as they are not as you would like them to be.

I am sick with grief. Pain - my teeth, I must be grinding them during the night. Possibly losing this house brings up all the grief of how it got to be like this. Greed, love of things over people, insecurity, egoic thinking - competition - having nicer and more beautiful things that neighbors and friends. House, cars, and even boats - yes, now I saying it - boats - what I have been attaching myself to lately. ATTACHMENT! THAT IS WHAT BRINGS ABOUT MISERY! Even attachments to accomplishments - maybe especially attachment to accomplishments - even your sports team accomplishments.
Anxiety - lots of it - transitional?
Watching TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD last night and contrasting myself with the magnificent integrity and compassion of Atticus Finch was not good for my mental health either. As much as I admire this novel by Harper Lee, and her amazing characters. Quote from awesome movie:"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it."
THIS TOO SHALL PASS! I hope soon!

What was Scrooge really about? Remember his nephew who would not give up on him? The ghost of Christmas Past, Present and Future... the Angel - was Scrooge really not asking for loving help in the only way he really knew how? Here is the redeemed Scrooge image with "Tiny Tim" (who would not see the bad in him either).
The Ghost of Christmas Past was the first of the three spirits (after
the visitation by Jacob Marley) that haunted the miser. Ebenezer
Scrooge in order to prompt him to repent. she showed him scenes from his past that occurred on or aroun...d Christmas, in order to demonstrate to him the necessity of changing his ways, as well as to show the reader how Scrooge came to be the person he was and his particular dislike for Christmas – most of the events which negatively affected Scrooge occurred around the Christmas holiday season.

Eviction #6 - The TRUTH!

The truth is that nobody can take anything away from me that is valuable. I have all I need within me. The best and most beautiful things are not things.

Within the city of Brahman, which is the body, there is the heart, and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is sought after, inquired about, and realized. Even so large as the universe outside is the universe within the lotus of the heart. Within it are heaven and earth, the sun, moon, the lightning and the stars. Whatever is in the macrocosm is in this microcosm also. ~ Chandogya Upanishad

Ron Alexander: Beautiful with Divine Timelessness, Rob! I am very grateful!
4 minutes ago · LikeUnlike.Ron Alexander We have all we need within ourselves!




Truth: We have thousands of opportunities every day to be grateful: for having good weather, to have slept well last night, to be able to get up, to be healthy, to have enough to eat. ... There's opportunity upon opportunity to be grateful; that's what life is.
Brother David Steindl-Rast

Ego is a Natural Part of the Divine Plan

My ego is becoming more and more involved with the eviction "fight", & am grateful for it! (Gratefully "fighting")

Your ego is part of the Plan. It’s OK that you have one. Every ego is fulfilled in Christ. That seems like it’s contrary to what you have been taught, but when you allow the Plan to be fulfilled then your ego becomes part of the Plan. Everyone has one—everyone has that limited point of view you call an ego—and every ego is essential to the fulfillment of Creation. So you can quit beating up on yourself for having one, and you can quit punishing yourself for it, or trying to make yourself pure enough, or good enough, or anything enough. It is not necessary for you to dispose of your ego in order to become enlightened and fulfilled, any more than it is necessary for you to dispose of any other body part before you become enlightened and fulfilled.

The ego is just another body part. You don’t beat up on your little finger because it doesn’t understand calculus (though secretly, it does J). So don’t beat up your ego because it doesn’t understand the Big Picture, the Plan for Divine Harmony and fulfillment of ALL Beings. Love it. Dream Big, and allow the Source of All Being to fulfill you through Oneness and Harmony.

Ego is only a problem when you refuse to let go of it and reunite with Source. It is as if you decided you were your little finger and steadfastly refused to acknowledge or utilize any other body parts. The point is you needn’t punish your ego for wanting what it wants and perceiving itself and the world in the way it does—it is just doing its job.

Your job, as the Greater Being, is to allow Connection with Source to fulfill those ego perspective dreams. Your ego is an outgrowth of your limited perspective; and in order to become the physical being that you are, you had to adopt one. That’s it. That’s all there is to it. There is no eternity of punishment or purgatory or cosmic karma associated with it. There is nothing to work out from this life or any past lives either. Just connect with your Source and Allow. It will all work itself out—it can’t not. It’s part of the Plan.

All is well. It really is. Perform Yoga of Positive Thought with your ego just as you perform Hatha or another yoga with your other body parts. Gently steer your ego back to the joyful thoughts that are in alignment with the Divine Plan and allow Source Energy to pour through your mind like sweet honey and everything—everything—will work out.
Namaste,
~Twelve

William Mcelveen: Very interesting and enlightening. Absorbing like sweet honey into my collective
Ron Alexander: Yep, can quit beating yourself up for having an ego. This is part of us that has been really demonized in the last couple of decades or so. Freud, who invented the word. meant it to be the 'conscious" mediatior between the id (primitve instinctual part) & the Super Ego, our Higher Self.

Eviction # 5 - My Ego Is Alive & Outraged

My ego is becoming more and more involved with the eviction "fight", & am grateful for it! (Gratefully "fighting")

It is becoming clearer and clearer that the family "trust" lawyer who wants me evicted just wants the property for the money. He stated, before I renovated, that he would just have this house torn down and sell the property. I asked him what for - "to pay for the defense lawyer, (and for yourself too? I asked and he nodded "yes").
He represents the elite this country, that has pretty much taken over. The rich (oligarchy), and they want to get richer and more powerful. Who are these power-grabbing elitists? 1%'s, Wall Street, bankers, republicans, tea party, corporations, "good ol' boy" lawyers, anti-tax forces (don't want to tax millionares or end bush's tax cuts yet they do want to end payroll tax cuts), hypocrites!


Well, it is time that the disappearing middle class join rank and realize we are the 99%, and start re-taking our power. The "Occupy" non-violent movement represents us!


Elizabeth May Sutor: HI -"grateful while fighting eviction". Can't wait to see this. HOW did this happen? My father and I used to have conversations in 1986(!!!)about how eventually there will be no more middle class, only the very wealthy and the poor. My father was so concerned about the direction in which this country was going. It completely eludes me how people can not see what is going on, can not be outraged, and how 99 percent are being controlled by 1 percent.




Your ego is part of the Plan. It’s OK that you have one. Every ego is fulfilled in Christ. That seems like it’s contrary to what you have been taught, but when you allow the Plan to be fulfilled then your ego becomes part of the Plan. Everyone has one—everyone has that limited point of view you call an ego—and every ego is essential to the fulfillment of Creation. So you can quit beating up on yourself for having one, and you can quit punishing yourself for it, or trying to make yourself pure enough, or good enough, or anything enough. It is not necessary for you to dispose of your ego in order to become enlightened and fulfilled, any more than it is necessary for you to dispose of any other body part before you become enlightened and fulfilled.

I was shocked when I was virtually left out of my Mom's will. It seems like my addicted & alcoholic nephew Barry (at funeral) had really smeared me, while I was renovating the beach house in N. Myrtle Beach. Being the only living son, I was expecting at least half, as I was Dad's "little co-alcholic". I was shocked when I was "shunned" at their Ruhamah Methodist church at her funeral. Now, the family "trust" lawyer is trying to evict me from this house in NMB, which I have renovated beautifully in past 7 years. He has control of all the family property, including my Aunt's property near the church in Starr on Lake Hartwell for 30 years - sickening and I am trying to get a lawyer, but no one so far, wants to touch a "trust lawyer.
Tell Your Dear Dad hello, and anything bad he has heard about me is slander, scapegoating and mostly untrue. I got my Counseling Masters Degree at Antioch in San Francisco in 1985. Practiced out there for 14 years and then came back here to help the family. Unfortunately, I was seen as "controlling" while I was the only one to take responsibility. My Aunt, Laura Jo, stuck with my nephew (on parole now) and believes everything he says. Her late husband dominated her, then my Mom and now my nephew. I was enabling him for years, now, the only person he has left is Aunt Laura Jo, who mistakenly thinks that it is my Mom's "wishes". I have a great new partner in Jeanne Ashley Porter from Columbia (not a strong coot anyway), and enjoy life otherwise. the Best of Holy Days and a Great New Year!
When do they want you out?


Well, according to the 30 day notice, it is supposed to be sometine around Christmas. It was dated Nov.16th & served on 22. I think it is because Barry wants to live down here, however he is on a parole that would not allow that, unless it is changed. The other reason the "trust" lawyer gave is "that they need money to pay for Barry's defense lawyer (& himself of course) -that they would tear down house & sell lot." I am sick with grief, and was just turned down by another lawyer. Thanks for your compassion. ron..

The Truth about Hair

The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long

United Truth Seekers
Thu, 08 Sep 2011 14:32 CDT
© Black ElkThis information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Viet Nam War .

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the Vietnam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.

In the early nineties, Sally [name changed to protect privacy] was married to a licensed psychologist who worked at a VA Medical hospital. He worked with combat veterans with PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. Most of them had served in Vietnam.

Sally said, "I remember clearly an evening when my husband came back to our apartment on Doctor's Circle carrying a thick official looking folder in his hands. Inside were hundreds of pages of certain studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example.

As I read the documents, I learned why. It seems that during the Vietnam War special forces in the war department had sent undercover experts to comb American Indian Reservations looking for talented scouts, for tough young men trained to move stealthily through rough terrain. They were especially looking for men with outstanding, almost supernatural, tracking abilities. Before being approached, these carefully selected men were extensively documented as experts in tracking and survival.

With the usual enticements, the well proven smooth phrases used to enroll new recruits, some of these Indian trackers were then enlisted. Once enlisted, an amazing thing happened. Whatever talents and skills they had possessed on the reservation seemed to mysteriously disappear, as recruit after recruit failed to perform as expected in the field.

Serious causalities and failures of performance led the government to contract expensive testing of these recruits, and this is what was found.

When questioned about their failure to perform as expected, the older recruits replied consistently that when they received their required military haircuts, they could no longer 'sense' the enemy, they could no longer access a 'sixth sense', their 'intuition' no longer was reliable, they couldn't 'read' subtle signs as well or access subtle extrasensory information.

So the testing institute recruited more Indian trackers, let them keep their long hair, and tested them in multiple areas. Then they would pair two men together who had received the same scores on all the tests. They would let one man in the pair keep his hair long, and gave the other man a military haircut. Then the two men retook the tests.

Time after time the man with long hair kept making high scores. Time after time, the man with the short hair failed the tests in which he had previously scored high scores.

Here is a Typical Test:

The recruit is sleeping out in the woods. An armed 'enemy' approaches the sleeping man. The long haired man is awakened out of his sleep by a strong sense of danger and gets away long before the enemy is close, long before any sounds from the approaching enemy are audible.

In another version of this test the long haired man senses an approach and somehow intuits that the enemy will perform a physical attack. He follows his 'sixth sense' and stays still, pretending to be sleeping, but quickly grabs the attacker and 'kills' him as the attacker reaches down to strangle him.

This same man, after having passed these and other tests, then received a military haircut and consistently failed these tests, and many other tests that he had previously passed.

So the document recommended that all Indian trackers be exempt from military haircuts. In fact, it required that trackers keep their hair long."

Comment:

The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of human and animal at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animal to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.The body has a reason for every part of itself.

Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain stem, the limbic system, and the neocortex.

Not only does hair in people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut.

When hair is cut, receiving and sending transmissions to and from the environment are greatly hampered. This results in numbing-out .

Cutting of hair is a contributing factor to unawareness of environmental distress in local ecosystems. It is also a contributing factor to insensitivity in relationships of all kinds. It contributes to sexual frustration.

Conclusion:

In searching for solutions for the distress in our world, it may be time for us to consider that many of our most basic assumptions about reality are in error. It may be that a major part of the solution is looking at us in the face each morning when we see ourselves in the mirror.

The story of Sampson and Delilah in the Bible has a lot of encoded truth to tell us. When Delilah cut Sampson's hair, the once undefeatable Sampson was defeated.

Reported by C. Young

, I had an amazing experience with my hair once - back in the 70's my hair was like a bleached afro. One clear moonless night, all the stars appeared to send their rays into each one of my follicles. My hair was like antennas for the stars. I read some mystical literature about a similar experience - forgot it though?
Oh yea, I had never felt so secure in the Universe. I felt like ...I belonged for the first time in my life (pretty abusive childhood)! I did copy this from article:
"Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain stem, the limbic system, and the neocortex."
It is nice to relive the security I felt as the rays went into my individual follicles, and this occurred on the sea in the cockpit of a sailboat! Especially, since I am be going back to the sea?
