What a day at work. All my four clients behaved beautifully and, in their own ways, contributed to the smooth running of the evening. None of them are puppets.
I got eye contact from the autistic man with whom, years ago, you could not use the word ‘No’ without a severe reaction being initiated. He ‘helped’ by realising that another client whose major ‘job’ it is to help around the time of diner with passing the plates and so on, understood that the other had ‘lost the plot’ and passed plates to him. This is major stuff ... this is about empathy.
Played a blues scale during the ‘ads’ throughout ‘Star Wars’ on t.v. much to the delight of the other two men..... both being more enthusiastic about being alive than I am .... and perhaps you.... when ‘down a bit.’
No reason for ‘down’..... apart from life.
And it’s not ‘life’. It’s the hideous abuse of power which ‘the dark side’ insist on displaying.
Most of us wish all mankind ‘well’. A happy life an’ all that.
It’s a bit of a digest to accept that most - if not all - that I have been taught is just ... prevailing wisdom .... subject to change.
This goes for the stars and the ongoing ‘puzzles’ which mainstream science has with ... just about everything. All would be simplified if the understanding that the universe is electric were accepted.
It’s such an obvious ‘fact of life’ intuitively when electricity fires the neurons which power our brains, our minds - wherever that ‘object’ resides. The atom itself has electrons, neutrons and so on. The World manifests electricity both from the sky and upward from Earth. Anyway ... that’s one area in which I’m in glaringly different view than mainstream science allows.
As a child, passionately immersed in science fiction from age ten or so, I walked the aisles and scanned the shelves of our local library scouting out from A to Z for every S.F. book that I could find. I quickly moved from the majesty of Asimov and the Foundation series which spanned five hundred years - but childhood memory extended to millions of years - of galactic empires......... ‘Star wars’ with my ‘more fantastic’ childhood imagination.
I moved to Ray Bradbury and short stories which didn’t involve ‘goodies and baddies’ in space and then further immersed myself in stories where the idea was 'king' and didn’t require a book. For that reason and more, it’s been an unexpected blow that ‘our’ missions to the moon were so short lived. Yes - Mars rovers are very exciting but what happened to elucidate the message from the astronauts returning from the ‘dark’ side of the moon “ Houston - there is a Santa Claus.”
I know, it could have meant anything but Edgar Mitchell, who walked the moon and was in a position to know, had much to say about UFO’s. Doesn’t make the news.
Three days in a row our major, middle brow, daily paper has had a front page which is basically all photo about some poor sod whose life has changed. We don’t get news. People don’t want it and I heard that straight from a very successful T.V. news director thirty years ago.
Radio news, free of commercials, is my major source. The internet gives further variety and deeper commentary.
An Israeli man, sounding young, was giving reason why he had left the army after, glowing with the patriotism of young, had joined up to defend his country and his family.
Military rabbis and an inhuman message is all I can give you of his clarity of thought. It brought home the reality that all of us are human - no more no less. ‘All of us’ includes the guys I work with......who wouldn’t last a week on their own ..... ‘useless eaters’ to those who manifest a hideous agenda which is ‘One World Government’ and the concentration of power in the hands of those who ‘know’ that they are born to rule.......by whatever means.
I get the blues but thank the Universal Divine for our Shakespearian time on stage and the knowledge that THAT Divinity allows for free expression if only to drive home the point that life is uncertain, suffering is inevitable but that’s perhaps the point. Live it as best you can with no thought of reward regardless of the blues.
Keep the faith.
