Body Snatchings and Such

The other day I came home from a long day and turned on the you know what. You know the two letter word. I started watching this old Donald Sutherland movie with Leonard Nimoy--the master of logic--and Jeff something or other and got pulled in by the languaging. What I noticed right away is that no one talks that way anymore. The impact of it hit me, before I had any recognition of what they movie was really about. You know they were actually trying to use sort it out type language--language to express one's inner most thoughts and feeling. You know that stuff they call humanness? Oh, you don't know that stuff. Do you think that is back with hippies and encounter groups? Well, think about this.

The movie was Invasion of the Body Snatchers--a movie I left out of my agenda when it came out. And what was the theme of the movie? The theme, my fellow beings, was cloning of an alien kind--a pod that copied you as you slept. And though the hero made valiant efforts in the end they got him too. Now, how did you recognize a humanoid from their cloned version. Just one thing they had emotions--you know that touchie feelie stuff that dreams are made of.

So next time someone starts sending you down the garden path with a lot of rhetoric to replace that intuitive connection with your own inner garden, remember your own inner garden. It smells sweeter and keeps your own unique blessing of who you are in the world.

***Just a note. When I lived in Japan and watched the news translated, their used to be these breaks in the translation. I thought it was a tough spot or equipment problems. Later I heard from people--Japanese people-- what really was happening. You see sometimes the translator would have such a hard time with the politicians doublespeak that, there was just no way to translate it into anything coherent and with meaning. In other words, it was a bunch of adjectives describing nothing and getting away with it. So, look around how many times do the people around you fill your head with promises with no punch and agreements they can loophole out of and thoughts that leave you vacantly staring in space or do you find yourself dishing it out, even though you know the results are futile long run? Why do we in the 21st century allow this kind of inhuman communication? I'd be curious to hear your answer or know that you are focusing on changing making a difference.

And Suddenly Snow

(To the left is a frost photo by Lida--see more below) (This graphic to the left is public domain, and I thought appropriate to winter's long awaited face this year.) I was looking learily out the window at the falling rain which promised a frozen sheet of glass to come. Nudged to go to the window seats and have a look, I found that frozen puddles already lined the sidewalk and the trees were covered in icicles that, though beautiful, had ominous predictions about the condition of the roads. My knee bandaged from a recent sprain, I decided this was a day to stay home. I returned to my seat in front of the computer and was sitting there for no more then five minutes, when I turned my head to find heavy flakes of snow pouring down from the sky. The trees and sidewalk were already covered with the snows illuminating whiteness, and it brought a lightness to the room that had been deprived by several days of gray skies. It amazed me how quickly all was covered in white, and it ...

Constantine and Reincarnation

Just to give you more of an understanding of the manipulations of the Christian religion by Constantine. The rulings during the time of Constantine not only took the cross to the battlefield, from then forward, as the symbol of Christianity, he also was responsible for things like nullifying any thoughts and discussions by Christian domain about the significance of reincarnation, as many places in the bible point to, solidified doctrines that made Christians believe that they were separate from God and must follow in a certain manner or they were heretics and doomed to hell, and bridged the thinking that Jesus was the only son of God. All of this done by one man's fanatical need for control and threats of ostracism and death, starting with a mystical vision that he interpreted literally. Have things changed so much in our present age? If you want to read about reincarnation in the Bible and how this all came about there are excellent articles at: http://reluctant-messenger.com/...

Finding Agreement

Someone made a comment as to my using 'We' on the list of questions a few posts back. I used the word we in reference to we, as the human race! This is a semantic disagreement. It was 'We' not leaving myself out. If I say, "How long is the human race going to", it is a bit cold, depersonalized and it is sounds like I am leaving myself out. I then could be accused of thinking myself superior. If I would say, "How long are the the Jews or the Muslims or the Christians," it is separating myself from them. Now, think about this in reference to religious works that were written hundreds and hundreds of years ago, which we expect to translate literally and were often times written in poetic language. If you add to this that we are all in human form and the consciousness of spirit has to filter down through a mind of certain time period's knowledge and experience, even in saints, and then add to that, holy books were often written way after the ...
