    If you read any of my posts, you will be aware of my near-obsession with the number 666, due to it constantly popping up in my life and seemingly in my face to get my attention. Well, the only other number I take keen notice of, is my “lucky” number, the day (in September) that I was born, 24.

    So I was reading “Stranger in a Strange Land”, which mentioned the Bible passage Matthew 24:24:

    For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

    This morning when I dropped my son off at my mom’s before work/school, I noticed a rental car in the driveway…and remembered my brother (Matt) is in town. Can’t wait to see him. Life is funny…everything is synchronicity. “Once in a while you get shown the light /In the strangest of places if you look at it right.”


    Ok, Donk, you are on the right track.
    Here is some more homework for you....try and replace that 666 program with some other number that you find meaningful...like 11:11, just as an example.
    Then do the obsessing game with that.
    You will soon see it everywhere, on clocks, mainly. 666 can't be seen on clocks, but 11:11 can as well as all the other numbers up to 5.
    The 666 is pretty irrelevant to me now as I changed my belief system around that number at least 25 years ago, when I decided that it referred to the year 666 AD, and only has meaning in this day and age in that it can show people how their own focus will attract more of the same, until they decide to switch their focus to something else.

    They just have to make sure there is a mental as well as an emotional investment involved.

    The goal of that journey is to discover that your own choices of fascination have an important role to play in what appears on the screen of your life.
    Have a paranoia about cops and you will meet bad cops on a regular basis. Have a preference about Italian food and someone will soon open an Italian restaurant on your nearest street corner.
    Then take full responsibility for these manifestations, and get cracking at creating better and better visions. Take full responsibility of the consequences of your postulates.
    See the fun in it, and make a point of hanging out with people who are on a similar discovery trip.

    I recently had a discussion with my older brother about this thing called money. He has had to study a long time for his profession and has had to do other jobs while studying, it will probably give enough money to him and his family, but he just doesn't really care about it. He loves making music and art, is actually good at them, but he can't earn any money by doing that. I asked him that what if he could spend all of his time doing what he loves and he said that he would be happy. I truly wish him to be happy, all I ever wanted to see was a thriving and a happy humanity. One day money won't define us and our hopes & dreams and that day is coming.

    I just got the stuff to make kimchi, which will be my weekend project. It looks like it might make as much as a gallon, the ingredients I got. High five to Pauler for lactofermentation.

    I use the first method to ferment vegetables. Included is a six minute video using mason jars. The second method I use a crock-pot for fermented sauerkraut.

    How to Make Lacto-Fermented Vegetables

    This is link has a great 6 minute vid, a reference and ideas section. It takes about a week to ferment and then you refrigerate. They keep for months.

    Here’s my first batch:
    • beet, carrot, red pepper, red onion, garlic & herbs and spices.
    • broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, red pepper, red onion, garlic & herbs and spices

    I keep my fermented sauerkraut recipe simple: red and green organic cabbage, red onion, and garlic. I use a little sea salt to kick off the process.

    And just so happens to be another ol' Friend from high school strummin' on the rhythm guitar and singing...the Trio has been together on and off for twenty years,,,back together now about five. They play at Fort Meyers in the winter...He is a 'happy' soul and it was great to re-connect : )

    Purplelama, that's a major weekend project!
    Kimchi is a must have in every korean meal, and I grew up watching my mom make it, but I never learned to make it myself. But I know that it is no small feat, so i tip my hat to you.

    Good Morning/Evening Here and Now. I was planning to spend a few days away, by myself. I'm due. But K called with some unexpected news. She is on bedrest for the weekend, counting kicks. And on an antibiotic, blood in her urine. Not verified yet, but possibly a urinary tract infection. More of a problem are the contractions she is having. With Little One, I recall a couple of trips to the hospital because her contractions were 2 minutes apart but it was too early and they sent us home. She experienced contractions as cramping in the usual spot, but also in her back. I remember watching this unfold with Little One, and I was amazed the way her stomach would get tight and hard like a basketball, haha. If she sees that occur, she is instructed to go ahead to the hospital. I don't recall this happening when I was in labor, I think it is pretty cool how each person experiences this differently. But as a Mom, it is hard to watch her worried and in pain.

    I cancelled my alone time, in favor of being on call. But this confused state I live in gets in the way of knowing what to do. Sitting between wanting to help and not wanting to interfere with a necessary process. Sitting between knowing that Cancer has a tendency toward martyrdom and not wanting to succumb to that, and not wanting to leave her with more feelings of abandonment - wanting her to understand that no matter the circumstances of her life I support her unconditionally.

    I wish I had Rama's certainty at this moment. Ha.

    It is too early to have the baby, unless there is a reason she is endangering K's health. I read this morning that 99% of the babies born at this fetal age (best guess 34 weeks) are healthy and well developed, just small, so that's good. But...how do I pray for her? How do I send help to her? Do I pray for her health and that of this baby's? What if ... the circumstances of this baby's birth have been agreed upon and it is supposed to be early to teach K something? Hell, for that matter, this baby might have some physical difficulties, predetermined and agreed upon... And really, I do trust that her Higher Self is watching and guiding...and the new baby's too...so what else could I possibly add to that?

    One of these days...one of these days...things will become more clear. Maybe.

    Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    Much Love,
    To send Love, Light, Prayers or by whatever name, it goes out to wherever and whomever. It's impossible to have mistakes with plain old heart-felt intentions. Hope you feel what's sent your way Here and Now, 1.

    IMO, Cancer's instinct is Love and to nurture not martyrdom. If one stays in that all the rest is an opportunity to transcend out dated beliefs.

    Love,
    Paula

    Thank you, Sweet P I don't know what you sent, but it sure was warm.

    Much Love to you,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    I feel the need to explain something here and now. And I know I really do not have to, but, You are My Loving Family here on the internet and this part is important to me to share with You.
    My Brothers and Sisters are extremely strong spirited and strong willed people. Being an 8 child family with a blind/alcoholic Father and a Mother that was so loving and sacrificing and was the ultimate of a rock hard determined Woman that She basically raised us alone. Her values were penetrating and old school.
    I primarily put that stuff out there on facebook because they(sisters/brothers/kids) are all there sharing every day and read all of my posts(most of them without a thanks there,of course)...we have a strong and powerful loving bond because of Mom. They are also keeping a close watch because of my seizures, 3 of my sisters being retired nurses...they are keeping tabs on me to be sure I am ok. They read them anyway...but look in more because of what had happened.
    My Father(lost his eyesight at 36) eventually quit drinking around 50 years of age.The damage he had done in our family was monumental, especially to my older Brothers and Sisters...me and my Sister that were the youngest two were spared much of that. That damaging chain was broken...they all got together after something happened with and to a friend of my daughters while they were 6 and visiting my father...they both lived right down the road. My Daughter's Friend was on my dad's lap and he touched her...she told her father and mother right away, her father was a state policeman. So all hell broke loose. I was in South Carolina building when they finally got together in a round table and barraged him. THAT mild sexual abuse(not at all mild to the abusee) chain was broken. There's more to that but that is that.
    When someone has an addiction(sexual abuse,alcohol,drugs,etc.) that same kind of round table barrage is done with and to and for people that are about to go off the deep and family and close friends have simply had enough.and must do what they have to do. It works most of the time and gets these people to get help because they basically do not have any alternative but to live on the street, confined to an institution(and,or,and)..
    My Family is somewhat aware of what I am doing...and it just may do nothing, but I do not think or feel so.. A key matter in this is my older Brother that was lifetime Green Beret and now a close to retirement school psychologist is looking into the things I have posted about rather deeply for a year on his own now.
    Maybe I am looking at it from the wrong angle...but I have personally experienced these 'barrages' working and consider life in 3d an addiction in many ways...forced upon us.
    I had been getting such strong surges of higher urges to put it out there, so there it is. Many People have strongly suggested I write a book and that People needed to hear my story, well, the synopsis is there with some repetitive quirks. Barrages are full of them and many times penetrate the person(s) suffering from and causing suffering(with no knowledge of it many times ) from a strong addiction and get help and change it all!

    I Love You All Here and Now!

    Good Morning/Evening Here and Now. I was planning to spend a few days away, by myself. I'm due. But K called with some unexpected news. She is on bedrest for the weekend, counting kicks. And on an antibiotic, blood in her urine. Not verified yet, but possibly a urinary tract infection. More of a problem are the contractions she is having. With Little One, I recall a couple of trips to the hospital because her contractions were 2 minutes apart but it was too early and they sent us home. She experienced contractions as cramping in the usual spot, but also in her back. I remember watching this unfold with Little One, and I was amazed the way her stomach would get tight and hard like a basketball, haha. If she sees that occur, she is instructed to go ahead to the hospital. I don't recall this happening when I was in labor, I think it is pretty cool how each person experiences this differently. But as a Mom, it is hard to watch her worried and in pain.

    I cancelled my alone time, in favor of being on call. But this confused state I live in gets in the way of knowing what to do. Sitting between wanting to help and not wanting to interfere with a necessary process. Sitting between knowing that Cancer has a tendency toward martyrdom and not wanting to succumb to that, and not wanting to leave her with more feelings of abandonment - wanting her to understand that no matter the circumstances of her life I support her unconditionally.

    I wish I had Rama's certainty at this moment. Ha.

    It is too early to have the baby, unless there is a reason she is endangering K's health. I read this morning that 99% of the babies born at this fetal age (best guess 34 weeks) are healthy and well developed, just small, so that's good. But...how do I pray for her? How do I send help to her? Do I pray for her health and that of this baby's? What if ... the circumstances of this baby's birth have been agreed upon and it is supposed to be early to teach K something? Hell, for that matter, this baby might have some physical difficulties, predetermined and agreed upon... And really, I do trust that her Higher Self is watching and guiding...and the new baby's too...so what else could I possibly add to that?

    One of these days...one of these days...things will become more clear. Maybe.

    Much Love,
    Your daughter is having Braxton Hicks contractions. You can read up on it here.

    It doesnt mean that she will deliver the baby any moment, so no need to worry too much.
