    Total immersion in life can feel like falling completely in love. Being consumed with every touch, smell, vision, sound and taste of life.

    What is more powerfully convincing then that? Even the doubts are compelling because even in doubt one doubts IT. It is known by many name be it golden apple, end of the rainbow, riches of Solomon, forbidden fruit, to name a few.




    How interesting it is that being hooked on a person or thing is generally perceived by the brain so similarly. (Same, same but different but still same)




    We all have and/ or are hooked on someone or something, often times taking on that of a dreams (come true). The tricky thing about dreams are how fast they can change. It's as if dreams have a life of their own.

    Quote The power of love is a curious thing
    Make a one man weep, make another man sing ...
    If we can see the interchangeableness of 'love' and 'life' then we can also see the change of the above lyrics go like:

    The power of life is a curious thing
    Make a one man weep, make another man sing ...

    Of course the interchange ability of 'man' with 'woman' if the reader is so inclined.





    Call it life, called it love, it is some else! Magic? Power? How could one imagine such a thing without personally experiencing it? Let alone name it?

    Addendum:

    The last two post are Bluegreen's responsibility for the last two post before mine made me think of 'gambling' and the first song in my first of the two posts has 'gambling' in it and took off (or continued off, if you prefer) from there. So you see.... If I wouldn't have seen Bluegreen's post, mine wouldn't have been made either.

    Live From Daryl's House - "How To Love Me"

    With her rich, smokey, and effortlessly timeless voice, you'd never guess she's only 19 years of age. On this episode of Live From Daryl's House, Brisbane's own, Grace Sewell, stops by to chop it up with Daryl and band.

    See the point? It is a rabbit hole. Followed by a mysterious voice from within saying, “Welcome, we are set up to receive”





    Yes, but is it the ‘hole truth?



    If you’re reading this, you know how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    A post for all of us. From what I can tell, we laugh for the pure joy of it entirely too little.

    The following video contains contagious laughter; however, I did find one or two pf them get a tad annoying after a bit, I was glad I rode them out as there are some gems.













    Wishing you all the best.

    Quote A comedian, whose name I regretfully can’t remember, offered the following profound one-liner, “The older I get, the smarter my father becomes.” Interestingly, as science advances it begins to resemble ancient wisdom. Long ago, in the Age of Judean-Christianity, the Church was the provider of civilization’s “truth.” Their story recognized the influence of an invisible “spiritual” realm in shaping the creation and behavior of the mundane physical or material realm. In the early 1600’s, the famous philosopher, mathematician and scientist, Réne Descarte defined the duality that exists between mind and body as separate “elements.”

    At this time, the Church’s control of civilization was predicated on the belief in its claim that the Church represented infallible knowledge, that is, “absolute truth.” This created a great schism between the evolving field of science and the power of the Church. If any claim of the infallibility of the Church was found to be true, the whole religious order would totally collapse. Consequently, any individual, and especially a scientist, that offered an opinion or belief that challenged Biblical dogma would be accused of being a heretic and face some severe penalties, including torture, drowning or being burned at the stake.

    Needless to say, this response by the ruling Church profoundly thwarted the advance of Science. Isaac Newton’s science had an inherent problem: Newtonian physics separated the invisible realm from the material realm in describing the movements of the “heavenly spheres” (planets). For Science revealed that planetary orbital motions were based ONLY on their physical characters and not on the role of an invisible Divine power. Point: Science could understand the mechanisms of the Universe without invoking God or invisible forces (i.e., spirit). This research profoundly challenged the truth of the infallible Church.

    To appease the angst of the Church, Newton offered that science would restrict its observations to the physical body and not tread on the invisible mind, leaving the realm of spirit and God as matters of the Church. This is the division that separated the realm of physics from the realm of metaphysics.

    HOWEVER: As physical science got older, its “father,” metaphysics, has been recognized (in hindsight) to be quite smart.

    It was with the emergence of Quantum Physics in 1925 that Science revised its view of the nature of the Universe. Rather than being comprised of a duality, a physical realm and a material realm, quantum physics revealed the Universe to be a singularity, the Universe is made out of one thing … energy. The material, physical realm is an illusion, and as Einstein wrote, “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.”

    Einstein’s further contribution regarding the misperceived duality of matter and energy is summed up as follows: “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.” “Field” is defined as the invisible energy realm, while “particle” represents what we perceive as matter. Replacing Einstein’s reference to field and particle with the terms of energy and matter, the quote now reads as “The energy is the sole governing agency of matter.” In this regard, the metaphysical term “spirit” and the physical term “field” share the same definition, both are: “Invisible moving forces that influence the physical realm.” Both entities are the same thing! You say “to-may-to” and I say “to-mah-to!”

    Today, quantum physics is recognized as the most valid and truthful of all the sciences. A primary assertion of this physics is “consciousness creates our reality.” It is now time for the public to own this insight, for it reveals that we ARE creators of our life experiences. Consciousness is the energy field that shapes our physical reality. Each of us endowed with a unique energy field, our personal consciousness, that is downloaded into our bodies via a complex set of cell membrane “self-receptors.”

    Simply, we are energy fields (or … spirits) shaping our physical expression. Through controlling our consciousness, our physical lives have the opportunity of living a Heaven-on-Earth existence. Today’s world is in a state of evolution, which in turn is calling upon each of us to evolve. To do so, we must own our creative empowerment and download our loving visions as programs into the subconscious mind that controls 95% of our life experience.

    Collectively, we can all consciously bring Heaven-on-Earth into existence. Happy Visioning!

    With Love & Light,
    Bruce

    Wind has had to get a vet to perform surgery on his pet dog this June.
    Vet fees are expensive.
    Perhaps some assistance would be a good thing.
    Wind has no idea that I would mention this.
    Purely spontaneous on my part.
    If your heart is moved you could PM him.
    I know he has set up a "Go fund me" account.

    Yes - I'm sure if anyone PM'd Wind, Chris or myself, we'd gladly give out the Go Fund Me account.

    There's a question before the Mods as to whether it's appropriate for Wind to post that account here, but I'm not sure when or whether they will consider the question. Various other distractions in life are distracting various mods. Such is life.

    This story touched my heart...

    https://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/...ily-farm-back/

    Quote Farmers Remain Silent at Auction so Young Man can Buy His Family Farm Back
    June 10, 2019 By Steve Beckow

    David’s family’s 80 acres of land [in Nebraska, USA] was sold to a distant relative and the family’s property was gone. What they had spent decades building vanished in a split-second bank interaction.

    Throughout his life, David dreamed of somehow getting back the family’s land and rebuilding their business.

    Several years after losing the family land, it suddenly appeared on auction. David and his father decided they would do their best to collect whatever modest means they had to try to get it back, reports goodnewsnetwork.com.

    They spent many days and sleepless nights trying to come up with every possible way to acquire the extraordinary assets to reclaim their land. When the day of the auction finally came, their hearts sank: nearly 200 farmers were gathered. David and his father felt their chances of repossessing their family land were slim to none.

    But they gave it their best shot. When the auctioneer announced their land, they immediately placed their bid — and held their breath.

    Theirs was the first bid and David and his father anxiously waited to see who would bid next. But suddenly, the room went silent.

    David didn’t understand what was happening and even the auctioneer was stupefied. He made further attempts to solicit a new bid, but got only silence. Stunned, he called a break.

    They reconvened — three times — and each time, not a single farmer placed a bid.

    The auctioneer finally had no choice, and with the strike of the gavel, David and his family had their land back.

    It felt like a miracle. A miracle of 200 farmers from Nebraska, USA — every single one of them knowing what the right thing to do was.

    David could finally write a happy chapter in his family history book.

    “I’ve had two profoundly humbling days in my life. The first was the day my son was born. The second was that unforgettable day at the Auction House,” he said.
