I guess it is NO Help

It hurts far more than any welt

Any ear to fear,

is only a mirror

*hugs R nice*

Abbi, what's going on?

Just a bit down about the friends and family. I think we all need people, but it does not always seem to help
I feel we come in alone and go out alone but there is no need to be lonely or alone here.

There is an awful lot of pain and dispair right now! I know there are winter blues and many folks with special challenges every day. Awareness of it seems so wide spread at the moment. Up close, family, friends, on the net and around the world On a small and large scale. So Pervasive! That is whats scary! No matter where you stand it's pretty well crossing all lines of opinionI have definitely slowed down the number of interactions to have energy for emotional priorities and contacts.

On a lighter note:I need some patience biding time.

I am planing a humor festival for myself! It is the best way to pass time for me!
Old movies ,shows,comedy routines,books of cartoon series.Far side
I have not seen Young Frankenstein since way befor picking my nickname! * A Priority* I prescribe 2 hours of comedy material a day for myself and I have been a lacky

And.....How are you ? I ask cause I want to know!

I'm OK. Head firmly lodged in sand

Helps some days

Wonderful stuff sand.

Hi Tefkat! How are you ?

I'm feeling much the same way right now Abbi. That there seems to be a lot of pain in the world, and it seems so pervasive.

Yeah, I feel much the same .

me too.

i'm feeling this thing - that i'm trying to do my own healing work but its hard to do that in the presence of what is happening globally. i keep wanting to pull out of myself and go back to saving the world because things are so serious out there, but really i am incapable of that at the moment. and then i think well is there really any point in attending to my own stuff if the world is going to hell in a hand basket anyway?

the things that get me through that morass are ideas of collective consciousness and critical mass - if enough people get worried and wake up, and if the ideas are there on how to change, then maybe we can turn things around.

i know people who feel that our personal pain and the global pain are no longer separate. we're all in this together... and i believe that when we heal ourselves we are healing the planet.



Abbi, thanks for the idea of a comedy festival. brilliant!

yes, definitely a brilliant idea!

U said it well.

There is such a deep sadness while at the same time a strident denial by others. I am finding it very distressing.

""ideas of collective consciousness and critical mass - if enough people get worried and wake up, and if the ideas are there on how to change, then maybe we can turn things around""
It is the only hope that sustains me

More Ripples toward peace Please, World

i was just looking for something on 'the global brain' and found this (its written in a post 11/9 context, but for so many it was reality before or outside of that too) :



Since ...we have been living out an inner potential of goodness and care in response to an unbelievably stark potential of destruction. Both the dark and the light are seasoning our souls and tenderizing our hearts. We are growing a capacity within we probably never really thought was possible.

What is the substance of this capacity? At moments it is difficult to be sure. But thankfully over the past weeks I have read and listened to many voices speak to the essence of peace, love, support and transformation.

Turning off the news has been crucial -- though not with the intent to deny or minimize. It’s more about listening intently to the authenticity of being alive rather than to the blare of fear. As the visionary Jean Houston wrote in an internet communication, it’s about aligning with your own spiritual resources

In this present day, so soon after such an unspeakable trauma, her promptings bring inspiration and breath. There can never be enough of that grist for the spirit, so please seek it everywhere. And now as you read this, no matter what may be the reality of the day, may her words invite you toward a vista of hope and healing.

"Consider living daily life as spiritual exercise. Watch your finer intuitions and ideas, and share them with others. Commune with your spiritual allies . . . In the place of spiritual connection feel strength and compassion and intelligence flow. Become creative in your actions. Plot scenarios of optimal healing . . . Practice miracle management."

Lovely. Thank you.

Wonderful words. It is important to stay in touch with; like spirits in thought and priority.



I think I have been to that site before! Maybe from your page?
I will add the link in my [stop smoking ]intro thread relpies ,I put links there. Thanks!

Hi


Kea, I just wanted to say something in response to your post:
"i'm trying to do my own healing work but its hard to do that in the presence of what is happening globally. i keep wanting to pull out of myself and go back to saving the world because things are so serious out there"

It's my belief that we can only work on our personal stuff - if we can work towards healing our own Spirit and having peace in our own then slowly but surely healing and peace will come to the . As one individual I have no power over what happens to the world, but I have sovereignity over my own .

Just a thought.

Did you have to make me start singing in the library?


Peace
Peace will
Peace will come
Let it begin with me

Oh my own life
Is all I can hope to control
Let my life
Be lived for the good
Good of my soul

Peace
Peace will
Peace will come
Let it begin with me

We can hope that others will join in...
