Some people are very afraid and beginning to panic. We can help by turning their thoughts to more pleasant things. We can ask them to talk about hopes they have for the future, once this situation has passed. We can ask them to recall the happy times in their lives, and get them vibrating in a better feeling place. We can help them be hopeful, because when we are hopeful, we attract a more satisfying experience to ourselves. That’s the most important thing we can do in a crisis.

Going through old papers and letters and photos I come across my mom’s last braid before she cut her hair short! Sweet sacred moment!

I’m in the process of switching from Wells Fargo to the credit union and today I made my first deposit into the business account at the credit union. Instead of driving the deposit through, I parked my car and walked inside. There were a couple of people waiting and a couple of others came in after me so there were half a dozen of us standing in the small Lobby. It was easy to make conversation and get to know some new neighbors in the community. It was a good experience.

We experience much suffering when we think we only get one life and one body. Sure, this body you’re in right now, that skin and those bones will die. You’ll go to sleep in that tired worn shell and awaken to find yourself emerging fresh into a new body, once again at the beginning of a life, like a butterfly. We survive in consciousness after the change called death, just as we survive in consciousness after the change called sleep.    Growing up as a child, I was always comforted when my mom would say we would see our loved ones again, they were just on the other side of a wall, kind of like when Abraham says it’s as though they are in another room and soon we will be in that room as well. The butterfly will emerge from the cocoon (we, emerging into the next “life”) ad infinitum. When we understand that, we don’t feel loss when a loved one cocoons, we feel a connection with them no matter what stage they are in, physical or non-physical.

I love the Chuck Lorre Productions vanity cards after the end of each of their shows. Here’s #541 “Don’t be fooled. Big Daddy can’t save us. Our salvation lies within ourselves. Within our own ingenuity and determined effort. ‘Make America great again’ is a bumper sticker for victimhood. But we are not victims. We are the creators of opportunity. Sure the system’s rigged. It always has been. So what?! We are a nation of immigrants who have consistently ignored the rigging. You won’t let us join your club? %#&@ you, we’ll start our own club. You won’t let us go to your school? %#&@ you, we’ll start our own school. You won’t let us earn money your way? %#&@ you, we’ll earn it our way. You won’t give us a chance here? %#&@ you, we will go elsewhere. You want to know what makes America great? I got two words for you.” Chuck Lorre Productions

I know this is controversial, ignore if it’s not for you. My feeling is it’s obvious this is happening –> being told lies despite evidence of truth, setting a precedent for banning free speech (no Q & A) and calling truth tellers “fake” news. It’s also obvious he’s President until he’s not and he can do what he wants, until he can’t. More qualified ones than I are actively working on that. WHAT I CAN DO do is live my life with integrity and don’t let my happiness depend on what he says or doesn’t say and do.

From Cross-Cultural Communications, Analysis purportedly from a former White House staffer: “If you are puzzled by the bizarre “press conference” put on by the White House press secretary this evening (angrily claiming that Trump’s inauguration had the largest audience in history, accusing them of faking photos and lying about attendance), let me help explain it. This spectacle served three purposes:   Continue reading →

You can use your willpower to catch yourself every time you have negative emotion. Strengthening your will takes practice. You practice it every time you reject instant gratification in favor of a higher and better goal. One simple daily practice to develop will power is by refusing to satisfy trivial desires (like channel surfing, snacking or drinking soda). By learning to refuse to satisfy every desire that crosses your mind, your will gets stronger. Practice it often during the day, delay yourself by 30 minutes getting that soda or turning on the tv. That’s practice. You’re exercising that muscle, like going to the gym, so the strength is there when you need it.
