However, love is like inches; it’s hard to run out of, and takes a major act of imagination to pretend that there is not enough.  Love is like air; if you want more it’s necessary to breathe more deeply.

They talk about this in Christian Science as the way in which when healing occurs; the whatever-it-was that apparently required healing simply disappears as if it never was,  as, in Truth, it never did; we just made it so for a time.

We humans constantly forget this.  It’s probably too simple and too profound for the Reactive Mind (RM) to handle.  So, having forgotten it again, when we relearn this it always appears as a revelation.

The Universal Solvent is Forgiveness, which is a special function of Love.  It’s also the Key to the Kingdom, and we, each of us, hold this key in our hands and hearts.

This is the whole of the Law of Healing.

I highly recommend going outside to look at the sky and the cloud patterns, smell the air, raise your hands to the elementals, and request the weather you want.  What I say is:  “Elementals of the Earth and of the Sky, of the Air, the Water, and the Fire . . .”  Envision the weather you desire in order to give them a template for understanding.  Say, “If it is possible and you are willing, please bring ______.”  Feel the weather you want and draw it toward you.  At the end, fill your heart with gratitude and thank them deeply for whatever they do.

The image is of humanity standing in a circle, one of us holding a ball that symbolizes Happiness.  The context is that we have all been taught that all, or any, of the Others is more important than are We, and therefore more deserving of Happiness.  So we pass it out of our hands and into theirs, for if we were to keep the ball of Happiness what would we be?  SELFISH!

But, aren’t we, each of us, one of the Others to all the other Others, and therefore, by definition, deserving of Happiness?

What if we just made a whole bunch more balls of Happiness, enough for at least one each?  Then, would we allow ourselves to keep our own or would the low self-esteem that we, most of us, seem to have taken in with our mother’s milk, compel us to keep trying to give it out of our own hands?

In Transformation Counseling, one of the precepts is that the greatest gift any of us can give is our own elevated sense of self-esteem.  This constitutes the gift of permission to all others to also inhabit their own high self-esteem, and thereby pay forward our intrinsic gifts, those that are ours alone to Be and to deliver.

Here in a nutshell is the whole story of Scarcity vs. Abundance.  ‘I’ don’t deserve (for some made-up reason/set of made-up reasons that mostly escape our conscious attention).  ‘They’, by reason of being ‘not me’ automatically deserve.  And so we hand over not only our personal Happiness and joy in Being, but our personal power, our power of discrimination, our ability/willingness to choose Life and Love for our own lives.

Another precept of Transformation Counseling is all experience of Life is the result of Point of View (see Glossary).  As we easily move through physical space, thereby automatically changing our physical point of view, we can equally easily change our inner point of view.  As with everything, Desire/Intention is the key.

All experience lies within you.  Your job is to choose from this treasure trove of possibilities.  After all, it IS your life.  You don’t need anyone’s permission other than your own, which is, of course, the hardest permission to get.

Context is the key to the contents of the box.   The ‘box’ is constructed of our beliefs and includes point of view (POV is the point in space from which we view that determines the angle at which we view content).

The construction of beliefs around content, and establishing a more-or-less fixed POV regarding this content, is the means by which we build our personal reality.

We are unable, in the most literal sense, to move (think or act) outside this box as there is, for each of us, no ‘outside’ to our personal box of beliefs.  That is, except through imagination.  Imagination is the trying on of another reality than the one we now project and inhabit.

Imagination is the possibility of the construction of a new context and therefore a new key to content.  It changes the POV of the box’s content and may thereby change, simply or radically, that content as resource.

‘Transformation’ is the epiphany that allows a new or different seeing of the content and contexts of our lives.  Every thing may be as it was before the transformative moment, and then every thing is seen differently and all content becomes newly perceived as resource and holder of meaning.

Imagination is the Rainbow Bridge, our connection to our larger Self.  Imagination is our Jacob’s Ladder of ascension to any higher and wider level of understanding.

It might be fun to create a computer game that is made up of these elements, and where the point of the game would be to use color and observation to uncover and experiment with meanings.  Following the path of color of infinite depth as revealed to the non-buffered human nervous system — the hallucinogenic quality of color as both message and meaning.  Painting God/painted by God.

Our job to find/create meanings in every bit of What Is observed and then placing that meaning into the collective pot and watching while the parts and particles, the puzzle pieces, expand and develop through contact with the other pieces, in constant motion rubbing against each other, attracted, repulsed, learning and, finally, allowing.

Whadya say we don’t go there?  Instead, let’s look at the capacities of the physical senses from a different Point of View (see Glossary).

Ears

My ears itch a lot and I will sometimes go at them quite unmercifully.  Then one day I read two things:  one is that hydrogen peroxide will dissolve ear wax, and two, that a couple of drops of hydrogen peroxide into the ear canal will have a positive affect on sinus infections.

Well!  Where was this info when I was small, having frequent earaches and infections?  Where was this info when my children were small and ditto?  Well, I know now so I tried this:  I dipped the end of a Q-Tip in hydrogen peroxide and placed it in an ear canal to see what would happen.

Oh, my gracious!  Talk about your Snap, Crackle, and Pop!!!  I suppose it was in there doing its bubbling thing in the presence of bacteria, but oh, my dear, what fun!  All I could do was laugh.  And, yes, doing this periodically has cut way down on my ear itches.

Head Rush

Here’s a way to get a bit of the thrill of the warm oil drip on the third eye offered for however many dozens of dollars by upscale spas.

When you get into a shower, make sure the water is a little bit warmer than usual.  First, get in position so that the spray hits the base of your skull and stand still for a moment.  There will be a whole-body instant relaxation and feeling of internal warmth.

Then, slowly slowly bring your head up and back so that the spray inches up the midline of your head, stopping for a moment at the crown (the fontanel that was in your baby body), and then continuing until the spray is on the third eye (head up and back, the third eye is the space between and slightly above your eyebrows).  Hold there a moment and feel all the cells of your torso and arms filling up with Something.

Then bow your head (forward and down) in one smooth motion and feel a cascade of tingles slide down your body.

The first time is the strongest sensation, but this can be repeated, for instance when you have shampooed and are rinsing your hair.

I forgot to say:  when preparing for this cascade of tingles, make sure your hands are not touching anything – not your body, not the sides of the shower, put down anything you may have in your hand.  If your hands are not free, the energies building (the tingles) will not accrue, but will ground out into whatever you are touching with your hands.

Kaleidoscope Eyes

When the Sun is available first thing in the morning (and so am I), I do a bit of Sun gazing.  (You will find apropos info when you Google John Gray (Mars/Venus) regarding the development of serotonin and dopamine in the brain through the function of Sun light during the first hour of Sun rise.)  There’s more info on Sun gazing given by Hira Ratan Manek (http://solarhealing.com/) who recommends gradual eye-open exposure to the Sun over time.  He has a lot to say on the subject.  I combine these two approaches and here’s what I like to experience.

When there is direct Sunlight on the eyes, if you open your eyes just a tiny bit, holding still, what will show up is a rainbow of moving kaleidoscope effects.  Shapes and colors shift and arrange themselves in the most beautiful patterns.

None of this effect is overwhelming or over-bright.  It’s just the inner beauty of organic life reflected in the moisture in the eye.  So good.

Last evening I returned home, tired and hungry, from a cat sitting assignment that lasted a week.  After eating I simply collapsed, waking at 3 a.m. to get out of my day clothes and into my night clothes.  So it must have been then that the line was crossed between Time Understood and Time Out of Control.

This morning I woke to my bedside analog clock having so slowed down that it was three hours behind itself.  (Although, the second hand keeps going around at approximately one-second intervals.  Very confusing, that.)

My Bose digital clock told me that I awoke at 6:49 a.m.  The Sun was up so I went out to greet it and do some Sun gazing.  I then put away some of my traveling things and went upstairs for my morning tea and computer games.

At some point I looked at the time indicated on my computer’s clock and noticed it was about an hour out of alignment with the digital clock and, of course, with the bedside analog clock that was already tripping through it own personal Twilight Time Zone.  The floor tilted under my feet.  I could feel Reality shredding and collapsing around me!  I was at the event horizon of a Time Distortion black hole!  Help!!!

After some moments of confusion, I speculated that They have once again imposed so-called Daylight Savings Time on us.  It’s only March 14^th, for cripes sake!  Why don’t They leave off and leave us alone with this Time thing?  It’s confusing enough already, as our clock time isn’t Real Time, it’s Railroad Time.  When the West was being ‘won’ by the intrusion of the railroads, the railroad They needed to have time schedules that made sense to RR employees and potential passengers, both.  To that end, the government They mandated the four time districts across the U.S. and everyone gradually conformed to this imposed standard.

Gives a layered meaning to the question:  “Do the trains run on time?”

Now we have imposed on us, once again, by probably the same They(s), this no-longer-apropos Daylight Savings Time.  Originally intended to assist the farmers (since we then lived in an agrarian culture), and just as Summer ‘vacation’ from school was originally intended to free up farm children so they could work as unpaid labor in the fields and help get the crops in, we seem to have forgotten these motivations even as our culture left the agrarian model and now is Something Else.  Cyber Culture, perhaps.  International, in any case, and increasingly less and less local-clock-time-based.

Would it be such a terrible jolt to our collective psyches if we just set the clocks (in our respective time districts, of course) and left them alone?  After all, we always have Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) to calculate our way around the world, and local time so we can say to each other, “Meet you at 8, and don’t be late.”

What else do we need?

(And then there was War Time, about which I know absolutely nothing, except that a friend was born during this yet-another Time imposition, and so she has to include that in any calculations necessary to determine her correct horoscope.)

The Daylight Savings choice is up to individual States.  Some of our States have more sense than to comply; Hawaii immediately comes to mind.

‘They’ seem to be doing this Time Manipulation just to jerk us around and interfere with us feeling grounded in our own time and place.  Why are we putting up with it?  Really, off with Their heads!

There appears to be a complete breakdown of time measurement in my room today.
