Taking Care of Oneself

Occasionally, I like to share the wisdom of others, especially from my friends. Janelle is not only a close friend, an avid student of the universe, but also an artist on a couple of my books. She wrote this (below) last year on social media and gave me permission to share it, but today I decided to put it on my blog when I read it again. It's a good reminder to be loyal to those who deserve it, especially to oneself.

Taking Care of Oneself - Janelle Wilson (12-14-15)

I have learned that there is a time to let go to take care of oneself. There is no selfishness in letting go when another wishes to ignore help.

There is also no shame in rationalizing that worry and anxiety will solve nothing.

Compassion however is selfless and an act of love, and it's what keeps people together.

In this life, I've learned that I may not be the person, event, or teacher to walk others to the help they need.

In order to take care of oneself, we must let go when it is necessary, even if it isn't easy.

If I understood this years ago, I would have saved myself heartache from those who could have cared less about how harmful they were to themselves and others.

I don't believe anyone needs to hold on to toxic people. I know this because I understand there are those who don't wish to try, and no amount of love can force change.

People have to want to change.

I hope that this insight may help others who are having a rough time on the holidays due to whatever reason.

Keep smiling and be grateful.
Love even if you don't like.
Be gentle to yourself.

This picture, of Janelle, was taken in 2014 at Daytona Beach, Florida. It was on her second visit here to see my husband and I since we first met, via YouTube, years before. She has a wonderful sense of humor along with her philosophical and serious side. Besides the artwork she did for me, you can see more on her website: http://weisseedelweiss.deviantart.com/

Yes or No?

Pythagoras is noted as saying: "the oldest, shortest words - 'yes' and 'no' - are those which require the most thought." This was something I learned through personal experience. These two words require "the most thought" because of needing to know when to say which one and why. 

Eventually, I learned that I had to, ocassionally, step away from any situation that may be demanding an immediate commitment, a yes or no answer, even for a moment or two. Doing this gave me time to weigh the situation. To ask myself if my response was coming from me or if my mind was being affected in order to appease another's wishes.

Before learning this, I was a serious "people pleaser." Saying no was one of the most difficult things for me. Which means, I often felt used because of it. One day, a friend said: "You know, it's ok to say no. In fact, the more you say it, the easier it gets." She was right, it works and I have no difficulty saying it now - when I need to do so. I've also learned not to feel guilty over it as well. In fact, under certain circumstances, the life I save may be my own.

Lastly, this was another difficult but very important lesson that I, eventually, learned: whatever you decide, commit to it and don't look back later with regrets or a sour attitude. If it doesn't turn out as you thought it might, or things don't go well with the relationship later, don't forget that you, ultimately, allowed your decision. Learn from it and move on. If for no other reason than allowing your peace of mind.

Diversity: What's Normal?

Some people think others need to conform to their little box of idealogy. As I told someone the other day, who was interviewing me, I post a variety of things on social media because it's my way of showing how diverse I am.

Yes, I'm a metaphysician, but I'm also a wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister and friend to many. I'm diverse in my awareness and creativity. I've been taught many things in my life. Some things, like my psychic awareness, I use to help others, as well as myself, but I also love reading, traveling, sewing, crafting, vlogging and blogging. I may not be the best, at the things that I do, but it, generally, brings me happiness.

Additionally, I've learned to share my diversity while learning from others. If people enjoy nine things that I do but one thing causes them discomfort, then they need to decide if that one thing is holding them back from enjoying the other nine things. If it is, then let it go and move on. I don't agree with everything people say or do and I don't believe they need to agree with me on everything. I, certainly, don't want my happiness causing others to be unhappy. But I cannot control their feelings, that's their choice.

Lastly, mean-spirited people can often rob others of their happiness by pulling them into to their misery. Maybe it's their "normal" behavior, but I'm often reminded of a message I received a long time ago from our Creator, regarding people saying we need to be allowing: "allowing doesn't mean putting up with." In other words, no one's "normal" behavior (including mine) should be, continually, robbing another or others of their happiness. Make the choice to move on - separate - disconnect - cut the cord. As the saying goes: "Life's too short to be miserable."

Political Correctness: Cultural Marxism

I have a long time spiritual friend, Helen, from Cyprus. Occasionally, she writes something on Facebook and I swear she's channeling some of my feelings and writing them down for me. This day is no exception. I have permission to share her words but today I decided to put them on my blog, along with an outstanding seven minute video she also shared, in order to reach outside of Facebook.

Quote: They have created group upon group of people and labeled them all and then tell you not to label anyone because then you are being oppressive, prejudice, racist, phobic and you are a bully, an attacker etc so basically if you are a white, heterosexual, meat-eating Christian then you are a victimiser by default. You will get blamed for every single thing that happens whether now or in the past because you are not a minority and therefore an abuser and those who say they don't want to be labeled still take advantage of their label as a tool to bully and oppress the above.

If you are any other race that is not white apparently you cannot be racist when you make racist comments against whites. If you are anything but heterosexual then you cannot be called phobic for having prejudice or throwing insults against heterosexuals. If you are any other religion apart from Christian, again, you are not deemed as being Christian-phobic if you insult Christ, Mary or the saints, etc.

If a member of one of those groups, such as a gay man, steps outside the label and model they have created for him, like being a gay Christian for example, then they attack him and bully him down. If a woman stands up and says she supports men and the male role she will be attacked because she is supposed to be in the feminazi group because she is a woman.

The world is suffering from CULTURAL MARXISM and even if you are one of those who has been stuffed into a pigeon hole and labeled, do not succumb to allowing anyone to define who you are.

Soul Essence: Born to Hate?

The other day, my youngest daughter was distraught over her oldest daughter's school experience: teens being their often hateful teen selves. Someone mentioned that kids are taught hate, they're not born that way. I countered with, why couldn't they be born that way? If we've come to understand that a person can be born gay, why can't someone be born with a hate gene? For that matter, any number of genes that scientist are still studying under the name of junk or mystery DNA, which I wrote about some time ago.

Anyway, as most know, through my videos and blogs, I don't look at just the physical genetics, I also look at the soul genetics. I've studied this for years. What makes people different? What drives people? I've learned that it's not always one lifetime but could be many lifetimes of programming? People can be born with physical genetics but we often overlook their eternal soul genetics.

What causes people to be born any certain way? What can trigger any emotion within them?  Sure, we can be born into a family, and take on a physical look from parents or grandparents, but what gives us our character? For instance, look at large families and the characters of each individual within them. Are they all the same? They can be brought up a certain way, taught principles and beliefs, have similar outside influences, but they are still unique.

Yes, environmental situations and accidents can create physical and mental changes but did this take place - each and every time? Yes, parents can teach bad or hateful behavior, but did this occur - each and every time? I've seen children who act kinder than their parents, including scolding a parent for being hateful. Furthermore, and as an example, why does a large family produce only one gay child? One transgender child? One with any particular addiction issue? One sociopathic child? One hateful child? Or none of the above? Was it the upbringing? Society influences? Was it within the soul?

There are many things that can create hate, being born with an angry soul is one of them. I've met people who are perpetually angry, mean-spirited, sullen, hateful, or verbally caustic in their behavior. Was it one life that created it or did they bring it with them? If they brought it with them, are they perpetuating that emotion - the "hate begets hate" scenario?

Also, do we keep telling ourselves they were born that way and ignore it? If that's the case, why bother with anyone being born any certain way? But we do, because we see things that we deem as abhorrent and want to change it. We see things we choose not to respect or understand. Cruelty is one of them ... hate is another. 

And, as an afterthought, I feel animals are not immune. That's why my sister named one of my cats the demon cat from hell. I only had one cat out of many that was born this way. Nothing wrong with her. Never gave me or my aforementioned daughter trouble, she just hated everyone else.

Be Careful What You Wish For...

As the saying goes: be careful what you wish for. Its often followed by: you may get it but it may not be what you thought it would be.

It's the same with having our prayers answered. We have to be very impeccable with those too. Someone may be sent to answer our prayers but we may not see it at first. For you see, God has used and continues to use some of the most unlikely people to bring about change to humanity.

Understandably, their paths are often littered with pitfalls to prevent their success. They've been mocked or crucified for going against the status quo. Being "chosen" doesn't mean an easy path and it's, definitely, not for the weak in spirit.

NWO - Globalization

Wow! Hold onto to your hats. What a mind blowing message I received this morning! So, you think we're not being puppeted? This all started with me asking about the Bush family. I couldn't understand why they were going against their own party politics just because of Trump. After all, they all have skeletons in their closets too. We know all politicians do. Some just hide it better.

So, guidance put the puzzle together for me. They reminded me, this morning during meditation, about the elder Bush being slammed for his NWO beliefs. They said, and I paraphrase, remember when people were outraged over his beliefs (see video below) and despising him for wanting to sell out America? Of course, he was a Republican wanting a NWO and people hated him. So, they hate Republicans now? It's the Republican's fault? Well, let's put a Democrat in office. We can manipulate them too. We can use Clinton's nafarius past to keep him aligned to the plan. Good little minion. How convenient that his disgrace opened the door up for our next puppet, we have Bush Jr. in office. Let's keep it going, he knows the plan. Back to hating Republicans again? Fine, we'll put another Democrat in office, but let's make it more appealing by using a black man, using him for the NWO. His background is ripe for the picking, but we'll change the name to Globalization, so they think it's a different program coming from the Democrats. They're coming along just like the good minions they are. And since the younger Bush was defeated by an outsider, no problem, we have a back up plan to make sure we keep this going. We'll support this woman, who has already been introduced and ensnared by this idealogy, so we can still perpetuate our dream.

Honestly, folks, you can't make this crap up. It could be a dramatic movie for all its twists and turns. You see, it's not party politics - it's a goal - the puppet masters don't care who they use. Brexit upset their plans. Trump is upsetting their plans. Think about it.

Lastly, think about why we were vehemently against the NWO ideal, when it was the Republicans, but are being pulled into Globalization (the same thing) by the Democrats, as if it's okay. Only because it's YOUR party this time? Seriously? Good little minions.

George H.W. Bush NWO Speech:

Semantics: It's All Paper

Semantics: Fact checkers stating that it's false, concerning that the State Department didn't lose $6 billion, because, what actually occured, they had misplaced the paperwork to back it up.

So, lost paperwork or lost money? It's all paper. Six of one, half a dozen of another.

In the real world, if I had "lost" $6 billion, due to "missing" paperwork, I would have to find the paperwork or I would be in jail for embezzlement. In the real world, any individual or business would be denied tax write offs, if there wasn't proper paperwork.

Obviously, the government world works differently. In fact, couldn't the government also falsify paperwork and get away with that too? How would we know if they "produced," in any manner, paperwork, in order to cover their behinds? Do they have fact checkers? Can we believe everything we read and hear from our goverment?

Besides, their reputation for insane contract spending is a matter of record. Well, civilian records, because the government tends to, obviously, lose theirs. But, let's be good little boys and girls. Let's believe we're in good hands. Let's smoke that dope or drink that kool-aid. Let's be useful idiots. After all, what's a billion here or there anyway? It's only money. Our money! Our nearly $20 trillion national debt money!

Quote: "The $6 billion figure comes from a State Department inspector general report that found paperwork for various contracts had been mismanaged. The $6 billion was not missing or stolen — it had been doled out in a number of contracts — but the paperwork was missing." - Politifacts

Clinton and Trump: Archetypal Manifestation

I posted the below Carl Jung quote, on my metaphysical school site, and, suddenly, I was thinking about the characters of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, along with the often mob mentality I've seen on social media. Jung said an archetype is a typical character of human nature and in groups we can subcumb to the lowest emotion within that collective conscious.

This made me think about the collective thoughts regarding Trump and Clinton. Especially, if we consider some of the names they are being associated with like crooked, liar, or narcissistic. Especially, when we think about ourselves in relationship to them. Are they a reflection of our society? Of us? If so why? They didn't come out of nowhere. We're not experiencing them for no reason. I feel that they are here to make us look at ourselves - our society - our world - good or bad. They are a phenomenon; a pure archetypal manifestation of a real part of our collective psyche. 

Are we to learn more about ourselves because of it? Can we make changes? Maybe so, if we owe up to it. If we don't, it will not go away. It will return to the collective unconscious in order to gather more force and will come back with a greater prominence. That's what lessons do: keep teaching us until we get it. Often with more difficulty.

---------Quote

A group experience takes place on a lower level of consciousness than the experience of an individual. This is due to the fact that, when many people gather together to share one common emotion, the total psyche emerging from the group is below the level of the individual psyche. If it is a very large group, the collective psyche will be more like the psyche of an animal, which is the reason why the ethical attitude of large organizations is always doubtful. The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology. If, therefore, I have a so-called collective experience as a member of a group, it takes place on a lower level of consciousness than if I had the experience by myself alone. ~ C.G. Jung (The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious - Collected Works 9i)

Useful Idiots

"In political jargon, useful idiot is a term for people perceived as propagandists for a cause whose goals they are not fully aware of, and who are used cynically by the leaders of the cause." - Wikipedia

Recently, I saw a comment on Facebook, that used it, and decided to investigate further. In doing so, I discovered a website that I thought I'd share. Needless to say, after reading that website, I've discovered where I've been used, ocassionally, as a useful idiot. Live and learn. 

Here is an excerpt from it:

"The term “useful idiot” is thought to have been coined by communist mass murderer Vladimir Lenin. It describes naive communist sympathizers in the West (liberals). While Lenin and the Soviets held these stupid liberals in utter contempt, they also saw them as useful tools for dispensing propaganda.

You will often find useful idiots (aka libtards) lounging about in a Starbucks with friends, discussing the shortcomings of America over a frappuccino. Useful idiots are a mix of urban hipsters, brainwashed college kids, busy bodies, self righteous do-gooders, silver pony-tailed hippies, (now college professors), quirky wannabe-intellectuals, hysterical females, girly-men, and Michael Moore devotees.

Useful Idiot Libtards aren't necessarily bad people, and in many cases, are exceptionally warm and kind hearted. Many have high IQ's and hold advanced degrees. They can hold files full of factoids in their brains, but lack the capacity to weave them together to find a coherent pattern. Though they fancy themselves as "free thinkers", they are actually the most authority worshipping (politically correct) and servile creatures you will ever meet. When it comes to independent critical thought, they are astonishingly stupid .....and very dangerous! To paraphrase the late great Senator Joseph McCarthy, libtards are "the unwitting hand maidens of the Communists."

It is important to note that many "conservatives" are just as deluded as useful liberal idiots. They spend all of their energy attacking low level libtards, feminists, environmentalists etc, while refusing to confront the real power that pulls their strings. From lofty perches high above the cloud level, the untouchable Globalists laugh as the "right" and the "left" beat each other up.

The good news about useful idiots, is that when one of them finally figures out how he has been played, he often becomes fanatically anti-Communist / anti-Globalist. There is hope for them...or at least some of them."

In addition to the above excerpt, by going to the website, you will see several interesting comparisons, along with pictures. In addition to the two I listed below, you will read about immigration, feminism, socialized medicine, foreign policy plus much more. 

**GLOBAL WARMING**
The Globalist/Communist: "Through our well paid psuedo-scientists and wholly owned media, we must aggressively promote the false science of Global Warming. The fear that this generates will enable us to raise taxes on carbon, erode national sovereignty, stifle economic progress, and gain control over private property and industry. Global Warming is one of the greatest power grabbing scams we have ever concocted! During periods of colder weather, we shall use the term 'Climate Change'.

The Useful Liberal Idiot: "Man made Global Warming is a proven fact! The science is settled! Only uneducated, anti-science, right wing flat earthers continue to deny it. Scientists who deny Global Warming all work for Big Oil. We need to address this problem now or our children are going to suffer."

**SEXUALITY**
The Globalist/Communist: "We must promote sexual promiscuity as a means of destroying the traditional family unit via adultery and unwed motherhood. This will financially ruin millions of divorced men and force millions of unwed mothers and their children to be dependent upon our centralized government."

The Useful Liberal Idiot: "Sex is natural and fun. Everyone should do it. The old fashioned hangups over pre marital sex and monogamy were forced upon society by the Church as a way of controlling people."

Website: http://www.tomatobubble.com/communistsandliberals.html

Now, I, for one, see these opinions (comparisons) as a time to reflect, especially if it causes me to spit and sputter with any instant rejection. Why? Because, I've learned, I'm getting my programmed ego in the way, and it may not reflect any new evidence. I've taught myself to back away and look at it with questions. Am I being pulled into any firestorm of emotions, swept along by the tsunami of falsehoods being perpetuated as truth without tangible facts? Has there been new evidence presented? Did I misread or mishear something? Am I being duped by my own ignorance to current data. Instead of shutting down to information, shouldn't I be taking the time to allow my reasoning and common sense to think things through?

As I've often said: When in doubt, check it out. You see, I don't want to be a useful idiot, a tool, a cretin, a sheep, or any other phrase that says I'm following anything without careful analysis via observation and investigation. I don't want to be a member of a crowd with no voice of my own; repeating only what I've been told.

How about you?
