Call to Action

I have not posted for a long time because the Internet on my computer has crashed. The only Internet I have is on my iPhone. If this gets out it will be from said phone.

I was going to write another concept blog about imagination and its effects but that will have no effect.

Imagination is what has brought humanity to now. Take your choice, either the imagination originated with a creator or some creature(s) at every evolutionary stage had the wit to use the tools they came with to create more and to move us further through the spiral.

In the process we have had and are having ad infinitum war over ideas created in the imagination. In reality there are no physical boundaries, in reality there is no control (yes I know how Genesis is interpreted) of any thing or person other than our own selves, in reality there are no differences between individuals, in reality there are no religions and money is not real. All of these are ideas or concepts created in our mind and that is the definition of imagination.

All of the creations of mankind be they scientific or artistic past or present start out in one or more individual's mind(s). All our agony or our joy is self created. Even the creation of a family or community starts first as an idea.

It is time to use our imagination once again. One of the greatest abilities we have is to look at things in a new way. That is how new ideas are generated.

This world has a growing and terrifying movement. There are people (although I hesitate to use that word with reference to them) who seem to think that intimidation is a wonderful policy. They think that they will get their way using it. We have always had this belief in our society but never before have their been so many. While my obvious targets are the various terrorists groups who are so violently inflicting their will around the world, I am also referring to those groups and individuals who believe they are superior to others (for whatever reason) and that gives them the right to bully (in whatever form) anyone else.  (For those in Canada, the telecommunications giant Bell Canada fits in this group, besides certain of their employees have seriously affected my mental health). I could go on but I think you get the idea.

There is an answer! It is time to see these actions and the people behind them for what they are. COWARDS! It is simple. If someone needs to restrict, confine of control you, it is because they fear you. If you are worth fearing then you are powerful. Furthermore most of these individuals hide behind religion and anonymity or they give orders to someone else. They do not stand in front of you, give you the same options as themselves and risk anything. Instead they scurry around leaving or using long distance weapons and are long gone before any deed is accomplished. Then and only then do they announce from their hiding place that they were the guilty party. Really brave.

We do not need to fight them with their tools. See them for what they are. Laugh at them in the media; it is true that the pen is far mightier than the sword. Ignore them. If they hurt, focus on their victims, ignore the perpetrators. They just want attention.

I have been a mother too long. These actions are the actions of a young child. Give them a time out. Show them a new way. Join hands. Join with all those individuals who believe that our race and this world are the most incredible, wonderful creations in existence. Join hands with me.

Since I have extremely limited access to the Internet, if you receive this please forward it to all your circles. Love, share and care! You are powerful.

Coming Out!

How’s it going?  I now have myself floating around with nothing to see or to do.  That is rather unproductive, even for me.  Where do we go from here?

I have noticed in my life that I seem to flip between different ways of seeing the world.  If I should be looking at a perceptual illusion, I can often easily flip from one picture to the other.  Looking at an illusion which asks me to determine the length of a line, I automatically assume that they are the same because I’ve seen so many.  Currently Facebook has had a rash of moving images; just hit like and comment move.  The image is moving already.

I am married to an individual and am the daughter of an individual who truly believed that science and math were the only way to describe the world.  My mother and I follow the belief that there is some force greater than us in the world that plays an active role here and now; my mother called that force God, I have changing definitions of it.  Like the perceptual illusion situation, I move back and forth.

I also like to change photos - a little

 

 

For the past 61 years of my life, in one way or another, I have been cared for.  I have been protected from the harsh realities of life.  While this has been enjoyable, it has also taught me that I must rely on others for my success and prevented me from having to learn how to cope by myself.  I have reached the time in my life when that is no longer enough.

I am left floating around being too scared to come out of my mind into the actual world.  That isn’t exactly true.  Since I was a teenager, off and on, I have exhibited a strong ability to listen to people.  As part of that listening, I often find myself making suggestions as to how they could improve whatever facet of life they are currently having a problem with.  Often it is a matter of reframing the information they already have or drawing on years of reading.  Sometimes it is doing something for them that they can’t do themselves.

The following is to me a very obvious example. I recently listened to a T.V. news program on the decline in the numbers of truckers available as the baby boomers retire.  The current generation has fewer numbers available to replace the current generation.  That generation therefore is in the driver’s seat (no pun intended).  Find out the answers to three questions: what do current drivers like about the lifestyle, what really irritates them, and evaluate the upcoming generation’s requirements in a job. Market to the right age group (high school probably) the positives and change the negatives in the industry.  It was done successfully in the tech world years ago.  It is being done in the various trades now.  The goal is to find the high school students that like the lifestyle.  Government help in the same areas as are being given to both the trades and medical doctors (for rural areas) will help.

As stated above, I have something that I enjoy immensely and have done very quietly and unobtrusively.  I also have something to look at; my goals.  My goals are very encompassing.  I want to live near my children, which means moving from one side of Toronto to the other.  I like living with access to the country but would appreciate being close to the comforts of the city. At my age, I want security for the rest of my life for myself and my family. Security to me means complete freedom from financial concerns.  I am oriented to increasing my health not vice versa.  I would like to help people on a one-on-one basis as well as write (either fiction or long distance helping).  Ultimately I would like to find a way to activate a dream I have had, to find a way or a place where all individuals can be united and accepted completely regardless of any division.

Okay here I am.  I have conceived of an image for myself.  I have some goals.  I have some sort of focus although I can also see the other side of a situation.  I even have a desire to change (that after all is what this blog declares).  Challenge: I don’t believe that I am capable of doing any of this for myself (others no problem).  After a lifetime of letting others take care of me, I am having real difficulty with the concept of taking care of myself.  One day I suspect I will have no choice – no matter how much I am loved by my family.

Is there anyone out there who feels the way I do?  Perhaps there is someone who has some answers.  Thanks for reading.
