Almost Wall-E's World

4/19/16

 This morning, I found myself pointing the tv remote at the newly installed AC unit which came with a remote as well. I I find myself just getting ready to flush the towel only to be surprised that it flushes on its own almost everything get's done for us. Toilet's flushing, swipe your hand and paper towels dispense.I catch myself sometimes swiping a paper towel dispenser only to realize it's not automated. Just standing there until it hits me its not automatic (embarrassing sometimes). Our phones are no longer phones, they are mini controllers. There's zillion of apps. I signed up for five different social medias. I was good with my phone and a laptop. A few months ago, hubby got me a tablet, which I had to not necessarily learn to use but just use more often. I can go seamlessly from phone to tablet to laptop or any combination. This from a person who always keep phone is purse all day, with volume off. I like the mobility of a tablet. But I can still have everything off and out of sight and survive. Honestly I don't think today's youth could function without a cell phone, without being able to look at it all day. Unfortunately that is also prevalent in today's work world as well. Co-worker's with cell phones on desks all day. And it is accepted. Believe me I asked. You go to a home and there will be no less than 3 remotes for a tv and all the apparatus that are attached to it. Oh and then you have new ones, that you talk to and it will connect to your home and turn off lights or start your washing machines and you don't even have to be home.  Tell you what's in the frig,  and you can see all this being done on your phone. Cars that help you drive, collision assistance, concierges that tell you nearby restaurants, reverse parking. All this electrical energy keeps our own down and low frequency. In order to continue on our own journey we need to keep in touch with nature, whether it be a quick walk through the sun or a barefoot walk in grass. We have to stay grounded. That's not always an easy feat for some. Sometimes we allow life's fast pace to dictate our speed and direction of our journey.

John Tesh mentioned the other day something along the same lines, that it is no longer the thrill of being able to fix the washer, the bike the lights but the thrill of being able to repair the remote that controls it all. 

 Flash forward, my husband has confiscated the tablet and is now the fisher king and on level 350 on his card game.

Thoughts can become matter, and intuition.  My husband heard snickering, chortles, snorts, ok ok, my kind of person, remarks as I listened to the latest video with Caitlin. (I had my headset on) insights for myself. I hate change, I probably have only had a change of guards (guides) less times than most .but I do feel myself accepting certain changes. We tend to have such a high sense of I've probably had a white lighter for most of my life, self doubt was instilled in my from early on, and as I became stronger, so a stronger white lighter came along each time. They made me feel so guilty when I didn't follow through what they kept putting into my head. so much the guilt would eat at me. I tend to have such a high sense of justice, I question it, but I can't change it. I call myself old school, but its something more isn't it. Truth seeking, soul seeking, dancing with light/sound. Bridges to the beyond.They sound and are accepted as affirmations of myself. I have alwa...

 Been going to al-Anon meetings, as support for my son, who is in a pain right now that nobody can touch but himself and his "girlfriend". Today after two conversations with him, about going to a noon meeting. That I would pick him up and take him. I arranged to take time off, drove across town and he was still asleep. I was angry for a moment, and knew that my anger would only hurt me, I was ready to just go back to work, and thought, no, I took the time off, I can still go to the meeting and I'm glad I did. Listening to the comments of everyone, the sharing of their lives their journey.  Today the conversation was about relationships and the family dynamic. I was listening to one woman talk about her children now, and how she described them, micro-managing, everything has to be exact. How when her babies were born, there was no maternal instinct. It was raise them till they are 18, strong ready to take on the world. Oh, crap that's me! and it hit me, I am the daught...

Never Again

, December 31, 2012 My cousin has been separated from her ex for a few years and she is in her 30’s and she finally decided that it was time to start looking again. As most women, she is very particular of whom she introduces her son too. She has her standards as she calls them. Her friends are always trying to fix her up, start conversations for her. Now my cousin is not shy, just reserved. She was telling us about one occasion recently , she was at a gas station with her friend and her friend was checking out the car next to them on the other side of pump and telling my cousin, hey he’s cute, look nice car. Say something, so after a little bit more encouraging my cousin did. They had a brief conversation as one does when at gas stations. The guy says see you around, gets in his car and leans forward and breathes into a breath analyzer so his car would start! My cousin turns around to her friend and says you a...
