moral dilemma
2009-11-20 21:42:00
Compassion aka caritas is a sign of God awareness. It?s the link frequency in all sentients. Theoretically, in spiritual-speak, we should do unto others as we would be done by, as we are from the same Source. However, in purely mundane terms, compassionate largesse is both impractical and unworkable. Take the Chandlers who, sadly, have been ...

creating meaning
2009-11-18 18:07:00
Ego and ‘ego’: fame, if not fortune, whether from blogging or higher up the sleb scale, could just be a cry to be heard, to feel there is some meaning to one?s life. Creating is one way, I suppose. Parents create children to give their lives meaning; artists, authors, musicians ? the obvious; businessmen, their ...

sex for money
2009-11-15 19:58:00
Twice in my life, during my young and beautiful days, I was asked to be a ?high-class? call girl. The first guy who suggested it was someone I had worked with at Rank Xerox. He knew people who would pay huge amounts and it would all be very ?classy?. Since he also had a line in ...

Saturday?s Child

You?d think after 25 plus years of successful selling, I?d be inured to rejection, but I?m not. Or perhaps this was just a damp miserable day having a damp, miserable effect. It?s not as if that particular rejection was unexpected, given the freebies I?ve thrown at it, with only nice words and bugger all else ...

reality and illusion pt 3003
2009-11-11 20:41:00
To dream of urinating is often as good a sign as dreaming of excrement. Probably less amusing to leap out of bed realising you are about to use your bed as the potty. In the dream, I had been in a very exclusive, very small, restaurant, somewhere off Kensington High Street. The people who I was ...

climate change fly
2009-11-09 19:06:00
A secret to doing something unpleasant, is to just do it before excuses take over. I had just made a cup of coffee and opened a yoghourt, to counteract low blood sugar, when I chose to check the water softener and saw it was seriously depleted. Off I went to the garage (round the back of ...

reconnecting family
2009-11-07 16:39:00
It took practically all day (yesterday) to scan and mount just fifteen artworks. So much for wanting to spend a whole day creating! I did have an aside to check on family history. Reconnecting with many of Ma?s relatives has made me want to find out more of Dad?s. Ma?s original family name was ...

7 Keith Park Road, RAF Uxbridge. Funny how some addresses remain imprinted in the brain. Good for him - that the Battle of Britain pilot will now have six months on a plinth in Trafalgar Square. Sunny weather and sunny attitude suddenly, but fleetingly, become veiled in sadness quite often these days. And there are ...

life between lives

Having had far too many experiences of life continuing after death, I am an unshakeable believer. What I have less time for are the army of ?mediums with messages?. I used to see so many about all sorts of standard issue topics. God knows why I went back to see two or three of them ...

traditions
2009-11-02 23:10:00
This morning, a Twit labelled me ?ignorant? because I tweeted my dislike of burning an effigy of the Pope. To me, burning effigies of any soul is a rather repulsive tradition. Burning a symbol of a religion, any religion, is, in my opinion, incitement to hatred at worst and religious intolerance at best, although it?s ...

letting go of the dead
2009-11-01 18:33:00
The raw emotions of dealing with the estates of loved ones tend to burst through at unusual moments. Yesterday, after food shopping, I got some big plastic containers for my bedding and towels. They had been overflowing in the airing cupboard, so it was an overdue task. In Focus, one of the plastic containers fell off ...

just another day
2009-10-30 22:13:00
Fri 30: Out like a light at 9pm last night. Slept 10 hours. Must have needed the rest. Not that I did more today than normal. Mark you, my slumber was not totally uninterrupted. I was startled awake at 02:45hrs but don?t know why. Then I dreamed I was escaping from a research hospital with ...

Tues 27: Just got chatted up by youngish bloke on my doorstep. Not a door to door salesman! Apparently he ran over a black cat and was knocking on all local doors to find the owner. Of course, when he said ?black cat?, I replied ?oh goody?, thinking it was Old Nicky, followed swiftly by a ...

progress of sorts

Mon 26: Shifting boxes to the garage on return from the newsagent yesterday, followed immediately by some branch pruning, was perhaps not so wise pre-breakfast. A pinched nerve in my left pelvis plagued me all day, making me walk like a really old OAP. Ditto most of today. Not that it stopped me from doing a ...

Sat 24: Speed cameras obviously deter no-one these days. I left the Ladder Club seminar (on greetings card publishing) slightly early and still didn?t get home till after 8pm. Meanwhile, cars were driving up to my bumper, barely missing me as they overtook, flashing and generally making me drive even slower as darkness fell. Still didn?t ...

tolerance
2009-10-21 20:47:00
Wed 21: An interesting theme, self-awareness, was spoiled by the excitability of presenter Marcus du Sautoy without sufficient explanation. Television presenting is not training, I realise that, so the normal rules for imparting information don?t apply. That said, he could have been more scientifically informative about how circuits are programmed to receive information and could ...

Tues 20: After Shriver?s article in the Guardian yesterday, I also spotted an interesting piece in the Daily Mail about Wills. Perhaps a touch of synchronicity given the current situation? On the plus side, communication is renewed and, with a fair wind, all should be done and dusted soon enough. Please God? I am paying lip ...

emotional complexities of inheritance

Mon 19: The Jan Moir palaver made me dig out some reference material on same sex relationships that I had written about in an issue of Floreo NEWS. Except, annoyingly, all the links have gone. The gist of that scientific research (which I can?t remember much about now) was that species become same sex (as ...

reliving the past
2009-10-18 20:57:00
Sun 18: The long haul to the West Country on Friday got off to a lousy start with a four car pile up at the Tangmere roundabout. I then got absolutely awful cramps in first my left foot and then the right one, meaning I had to keep stopping so I didn’t crash the car. Putting the heater on, arrow down, did the trick but it meant driving with the window open so I didn’t fall asleep and also crash the car. Mark you, driving past Aylesbeare definitely woke up the olfactories! Silage is never going to please my nose but this bit smelt like a particularly vile nappy. Got to BC desperate for a cup of coffee but got some grumping which thankfully did not last that long but was not the start I would have liked. Lack of adequate communication meant I did not realise the skip was now on, as was a potential buyer. However, both were welcome though it meant any clearing had to wait till the potential buyers had gone. Sorting family items means keeping emotions on hold otherwise nothing woul...

Thurs 15: Dreaming of excrement (not mine!) is a mixed blessing. It symbolises money but there is an element of ?filthy lucre? too. As indeed was the case in the dream. Not only did I step in it ? on a carpet, in a hospital (visiting someone else), but it kept appearing in different areas… ...

Sun 11: The BNP doesn?t seem to understand its own agenda. They don?t want non-whites here because it would homogenise the indigenous, and they do not want minorities dictating to the ?white? majority. Yet it is currently ?white? Eastern Europeans who are doing the dictating and changing the character of the country. So why just ...

reality
2009-10-06 21:18:00
and illusion Tues 6: Night-time reality crossing over into day-time reality is a mixed pleasure. On the one hand, there is a warmth and freedom, despite the nature of some dreams. On the other, recall sits in the back of one’s mind, demanding more attention. So it shall have it. For ten minutes. I don’t really recall my dreams much these days. However, last night’s dream quite clearly carried forward from two previous ones, the first of which was a few weeks ago. In that earlier dream, I had attended a course and parked my car some (walking) distance away, down a side street of a pleasant market town. A tall, rather grubby, but friendly workman came out and told me where to park so that my car (my current Honda Civic) was not damaged as they worked. I can’t be accurate but a subsequent dream related to the course or at least going to the college where it was held. Walking there was the key element. Last night’s episode started in the college car park, late in the evening, ...

spiritual paradox
2009-10-05 20:50:00
Coaching paradox Mon 5: The paradox of coaching is that, all too often, courses tend to be aimed at turning the coachee into a coach. So, generalising, someone who has taken a course because of personal issues, then sets up in business to advise and guide others. Leaving aside issues of transference, learning from someone who ...

Pain avoidance tactics Sun 4: Head throbbing all day but diverted by Margaret Rutherford film. In fact, so diverted I did a Wikipedia and found she and her husband had adopted a man in his twenties, who then went on to have a gender change. Nothing to grab me with that. Then I read he/she ...
