“My sister rang, a rare event as she has difficulty holding the instrument due to health problems. “Sun Flares,” she announced with triumph. I blinked, realising I had missed a good part of the conversation she had been having internally since listening to a news broadcast. “Yes,” she continued, “they cause electrical glitches.” She had found a reason why my vibe can stop machinery or cause them to rethink their reason for living, sometimes. “Ah,” I said, momentarily stuck for words. After she explained the science, I realised I could excuse a little of my future with the firm announcement, “Sun Flares”!
The conversation is mentioned because I am not alone with this quirk. You too now have an excuse. Use it wisely.
I have reached an impasse with tidying of this property back to pre-tenancy identity ‘sterility’, i.e. free of Hampton creativity. The wood shed was the last Donn construction. I am now in think mode rather than action mode.
I remember a saying attributed to me as a restless child (goodness knows where this homily originated), “Learn to accept stillness, constant action is a Presbyterian thing”, the inference being that Presbyterians work daylight to dusk to be worthy of godly notice. A Roman Catholic homily appears, ‘Restless hands seek trouble where occupied hands keep one focused on God.’ Ah, that one came from a life when a postulate in a Convent.
The saving of me, from too much introspection, appeared via telephone, from a young woman needing guidance. Unfortunately, she wanted reassurance that life will be good or better in the future. I told her it will continue, life that is.
Currently I have a client reaping the difficult side of karma. “Will things get better?” I prevaricate, cos’ my knowingness is silent, not a good sign. I do know some of this life of hers is dedicated to balancing excesses in another. It all comes under the heading: ‘We reap what we sow.’ And it is not about good and bad, it is about balance, which our perfectionism gene pushes (we all have it); coupled with evolvement. No one is waving a finger at us with punishment in mind, just another firm direction from Soul.
I regard ‘good and bad’ judgements as useless, and positively irritating when used on a concept/person. Negative and Positive is as ‘bad’; both I feel have a time limit. What can be judged as one thing can be something totally different in the next moment, e.g. ‘Bad when the child fell off his bicycle, but good because it saved him from being further out on the road and run over by that speeding truck’. Pays to allow a scenario to run its course before making judgements, because the thought must occur - ‘When has ‘the course’ stopped running – when does the full-stop occur?’
My philosophical treatise is unwritten, but may as well be as it occupies my mind. I think of the people who have lived on this property in the last forty years, even Bronny Bantam … I am last man standing, well, with Jessie Cat … okay, second last then, then there is Maggie Cat …. Was a daffy thought anyway.
A text from the U.K. regarding a fellow who was ‘held’ in his bed whilst seeing a woman in white. Last time she appeared was before an earthquake in his home country (European). In that situation the word ‘transfixed’ is used, meaning your mind cannot go into action, because fear, fight or flight, everything, dumps into your mind creating overload, creating total inaction. One could dismiss it as a psychological scenario, but that seems to diminish it. Oddly it is not an uncommon experience. His vision was one his consciousness used as a warning … information related to something (place or someone) he is connected to. Sort of the extreme part of the knowingness sense (6th sense). It is a wait and see situation, because no action is indicated, apart from the happening of a quake after the first vision. I relate back what I know of such situations, which is not much help except possibly allaying fear of ‘heavenly trauma dumping’, i.e. supernatural weirdness, leading to worry. Worry that points again to an unknown.
I have made the Christmas cake I make yearly as a gift. I also made a sugar-free recipe, reinvented into my kind of Christmas Fudge. Will it last to Christmas? No. Excellent. Anything I make with an eye to 25th Dec, and my tastes, is bound to be eaten in November, making December an anticlimax, or extended stomach ache from rich food overindulgence.
Another text from U.K, this time daughter near London. Picture of her family, triggering a flurry of messages and pictures from NZ, me included. Warm fuzzy moments.”
