Got A Job

Well, I got an outside job. I didn't want to, but these times that are happening have put me in the position that I have had to. I am very grateful that the people who hired me thought about me to give me the position. I am the receptionist at the Harley Davidson shop in OC, Md. I've been there a week now and it's ok. I am still looking for a way to work from home because that is what I really want to do. My time, which was already so very limited, is more so now. It's extra challenging for me to get everything done in a day that I want to. The way things are with the economics of this country and so forth, are really providing me with experiences which are allowing me to know what I really want out of life. So, I guess to be thankful for what I DO HAVE and to know what I DO WANT is my focus.

This is your country. Our country.
Time to take it back and make it strong again!

Religion Is A Killer

Wow, what a shocking title, huh? I suppose this might anger some people, though I don't know why. If you have a belief system that makes you feel good, then it shouldn't matter one bit what anyone else believes. What does their belief have to do with you and how you choose to live your life? Why do people feel the need to push their beliefs on to others? No one can be absolutely right or wrong. How can they be when there are so many different beliefs out there?
A belief should be something that 'feels' good to you. Something that feels 'right' for you. It doesn't matter if another person doesn't agree with you. It doesn't matter if they verbally tell you you're wrong. If you believe it's right, then it is---for you. That's all that matters.
We all don't like the same colors, the same foods, the same movies---but we certainly can still be friends or love someone who doesn't agree with our choices, right? So why in the world is religion any different?
Religion is about control. You have a priest, a rabbi, a Pope that tells the people of whatever religious group they are with, what they are to believe, how they are to think, act, who they should stay away from, why they should try to convert others to believing their way, who to fight against, etc. People complain about the government having so much control over us (and only we are to blame), but I don't hear anyone complaining about how their religious group has them in their grasp. Why? Because of fear. You get someone to be afraid and you can control every aspect of that person. Control can be a very deadly thing. This next paragraph, if read carefully and honestly, may spark a new belief in you:

"You are killing more of each other every day over your quarrels over religion than all other things put together, because you cannot even come to an agreement about what you think God says, or wants for you. On one side of the world God wants something different than the other. On one side of the room, in one side of your mind, God wants something different than on the other. The power is within you. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. And so, as you are standing in a thought, or in a word, or in an action that feels good to you as you are standing there--then you are fully open and allowing all of that Divine Energy to flow through you. And in that moment you are all that you said you would be when you decided to come forth into this body. You are the extension of pure positive energy. You are in your full creative power. You are thriving. You are clear-minded. You are joyful. You are filled with love. You are who you are--you are allowing that which you really are."

--- Abraham

High Price Healthy

I don't know how many times I'm going to say this, think it, and wish it were different.

This country is seriously messed up and there's just NO WAY things will get fixed unless WE ALL Do IT TOGETHER!

So, what's on my mind right now? The cost of being healthy. I'm not talking about going to the doctor's or the prices of vitamins (though paying for any of this is crazy too). I'm talking about good food.
We are constantly being told how unhealthy processed foods are, how organic is better (I totally agree, by the way), how we are a nation of obese and lazy folks and our children are headed for trouble. Well, yeah, I can see the logic in this--but where I don't see the logic is, if they (the government, health organizations, etc) are so concerned, then how about giving a helping hand instead of just shooting their mouths? Help make it more AFFORDABLE for people to purchase the organic foods. Help make it more affordable for manufacturers to purchase the organic ingredients to make their products. Doesn't it make sense that the more available and accessible the product, the more people will buy and more money will be put in the pockets of those that are so hungry for that? How many people are on food stamps--especially right now? What do you think is purchased with these stamps? Fruits and veggies? Whole grain cereals and snacks? NO. Junk. It's less expensive. Has there been any data collected on the number of obese people on food stamps compared to people of wealth? Probably not and if there has, there certainly has been no changes. Anyone with eyes can see there is a problem here.
All the talk of 'going green' is a fantastic thing, but it's either going to continue to go very slow or maybe not get anywhere because once again, who can afford to make their homes, communities, businesses, etc better? So, we're offered tax breaks when we implement the products (don't get me started on taxes), but those of us who really do care about this planet and our lives can't even get the things to make it better.
None of this makes any sense...until you remember that 'it's all about money' (for the big corporations and government agencies) and then there's that audible 'click'. And then I personally feel ill. And I wish more people would get out of their comfort zones and realize that it's not safe there anymore.

Understanding Quantum Physics

I would love to understand Quantum Physics. I don't want to know formulas or any really confusing scientific or technical descriptions of it. Just what it means in simple terms. I've been reading a little about it. I have so many interests in so many things and have all sorts of reading material going on at once, but I'd be more than happy to have someone email me maybe wanting to chat about this subject.
I feel that it's very important to understand it to some degree. This is not a subject that you can just approach anyone and strike up a conversation. A lot of times if I even mention the words I get looks of confusion. That's understandable, but I wish more people were curious about this stuff.
A funny, and a little bit embarrassing, thing happened to me today (only embarrassing to myself because I haven't discussed this with anyone); I love the Matrix movies. I've seen them all, several times. I don't consider myself unintelligent, but I really didn't understand the whole jist of the plot, but the special effects were awesome and I enjoy looking at Keanu Reeves a lot. Anyway, I get an email today from a particular newsletter I receive called "Metaphysical Mind", and in it the author gives the answer to what the movie was all about. Not that I was asking (I haven't watched it for a while), but after reading what was said, I realize that it IS an answer to a question I ask all the time. This is what the author of the newletter said:

"The Matrix was one of the most popular and thought-provoking movies of all time. Viewers all over the world were captivated by the film's primary message: People get into deep trouble when they mistake what they perceive for reality. What most viewers do not realize is that prior to the release of this groundbreaking film, western intelligence agencies were already using the term "the Matrix" to describe today's world. This was in contrast to their work with remote viewers, who would "escape the matrix" to gather intelligence. Art truly does imitate life.

In the movie, the Matrix is an elaborate Artificial Intelligence computer simulation that's so captivating that people mistake it for reality. People perceive they are walking about and interacting with others, but their physical bodies are actually submerged in fluid-filled pods, "plugged into" the Matrix, while their vital life force is harnessed to power the Matrix."

I have read "The Secret", I'm totally into reading everything written by Jerry and Esther Hicks who tap into a channeled source called Abraham (even if you believe that channeling is a bunch of hogwash, put out of your mind where all the information is coming from and just listen to the information itself with the wonderful open mind we were all given and it will all make sense), and I'm finding so many, many others out there who have so much to say on the subject of "reality". It has to do with Quantum Physics. It's all tied in. I want to understand it better. I know I will, because I've asked. That's how the Universe works.
