Xanadu 2012: Abuse is not "Fun" |
Category: Articles 14 comments 17 Mar 2007 @ 13:15 by swanny : JusticeJustice is not winning... not the same animal Justice is Justice "All we are saying... Is give justice a chance... All we are saying Is give justice a chance." sir Ed 17 Mar 2007 @ 13:50 by jmarc : It usually falls on the abused to break the cycle, to take that extra step when they gain the power, to break the cycle.It seems counter intuitive, but usually it's the only way for the cycle to be broken. Turning the other cheek can often just result in another slap, and be perceived as weakness, and the abused often want to turn the tables, but, as we can see, that leads no where. 17 Mar 2007 @ 19:38 by hgoodgame : Once you get past the 'ain't it awful' programming, you may want to actually do something to improve your situation. And it isn't by turning the tables, as Jmarc noted.. There are tried and proved techniques out there that will change how you perceive (and receive as a result) the world around you. The power of positive thinking isn't just pie in the sky. 17 Mar 2007 @ 22:40 by swanny : Whats your point? Hmmm if you have a point why don't you come out and make and not beat around the bush. You may see this as "ain't it awful" programming but I don't see it that way you and other may see me as "repeating myself" but good things are worth repeating. I never found a tinkers damn of good in positive thinking of real effect. It is pie in the sky and glib magical thinking. Now constructive thinking you might have have a point but positive....???? balder dash. Why does the majority assume theyre right ....??? ah yes comfort in numbers.... the democratic imperative.... but I was talking about justice not democracy. sir ed 17 Mar 2007 @ 23:59 by hgoodgame : As long as you believe there ain't nothing to it, then that's exactly what you get. As the universe would say, 'Your wish is my command'. Good things? My point (reminds me of the movie, 'The Point', where's your point?) is that's where we got lost, fighting terrorism, fighting war, etc. Mother Theresa had the right idea. She was invited to an anti-war rally and she said no thank you, but if you ever hold a peace rally, invite me. This is a multidimensional place and where you place your energy is what you empower. When you get worked up over 'issues' you are empowering them. Thus, whether you are for something or against it, you empower it. You choose. And the more emotional you become about, the greater the power you give to it. It takes more than merely thinking positive, it takes action in that direction. 18 Mar 2007 @ 00:17 by swanny : Well we agree... well we seem to agree yet we seem to have a different understanding of the same thing which is strange perhaps but okay .... I suppose perfect agreement and or perfect understanding is probably rare.... "Don't ask whose side God is on...be on Gods side" A bad recall of an Abe Lincoln quote (sorry memories goin sir ed) 18 Mar 2007 @ 06:14 by hgoodgame : Yes well words.. can lead to more confusion than clarity, especially when speaking of concepts transcending language. I'm sure if we were to sit down and discuss these ideas, we'd find we're not so far apart in our awareness. Different understandings, may be only appear that way on the surface until I say 'what do you mean by that.' Oh yeah, that's what I mean too. ;) The time has come for us each as individuals to examine our thoughts and feelings and see if they are coming from a space of love or a space of fear. Fear separates us and love unites us. Hehe.. NO FEAR!! Interesting, I heard the other day and it made sense, that the opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy. That gets me too, like a consciousness so expanded as to be considered Supreme, beyond concepts of duality, right and wrong, in other words conceptualizes all that is as being parts on one whole, why would such a consciousness take sides, eh? 18 Mar 2007 @ 10:59 by swanny : Yes words yes words troublesome things as any good lawyer could tell us but even lawyers are at a loss as to how to go beyond them. I once felt it would be necessary to create new ones to adequately explain things and then there the trouble of them having the possibility of two or three or four meanings and context and circumstance and then the problem of "meaning" it self and perhaps the degrees of meaning and emphasis... ah the complexities of it when it should be so simple. The simplicity is lost though it seems by agendas and fears and apathys as you say...The buddha got around that when asked what is enlightenment by showing a flower and smiling or "beaming". Maybe thats it show don't say. I tried that at one site by trying to talk in images but people or some people couldn't fathom it. A new language ???? sort of words and images... there was one site where this guy got it it was a simple language of words and pictures alas the site died though a horrible death not sure why but I will always remember that "picture" talk.... it was so....????? clear. sir ed 18 Mar 2007 @ 18:16 by swanny : Ahhh Johnny... John Lennon.... saves the day... link = http://www.johnlennon.com/html/news.aspx "Imagine theres no heaven..." John Lennon song "imagine" 1980s? why because then there'd also be no hell sir ed 19 Mar 2007 @ 21:39 by hgoodgame : Serendipity! I had thought of that same song as a result of our conversation in here. Imagine all the people, living life in peace. ;) 19 Mar 2007 @ 22:04 by swanny : Free as a Bird... there was a rumor after Johns death started or noticed by his first wife. She suspected that John had come back as a bird as there was this bird after the time that seemed to be connecting with her on her windowsill I guess in england . I guess that was cynthia? but anyway it seemed it never got much press but some how it came to me.... "Black bird fly into the light of deep dark night" Black bird singing in the dead of night take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life .... you were only waiting for this moment to arrive".

I always say, be carfull of what you wish for. :} 20 Mar 2007 @ 02:43 by hgoodgame : I don't agree with you there Bushman, The way it will happen is when enough people awaken, then we'll have what's known as a hundredth monkey effect. The collective unconscience will carry the info and all who can handle the energy will wake up automatically. I'd have to add to what you said, be careful what you believe in because that's the world you're creating for yourself. ♪Got to believe we are magic, nothing can stand in our way♫ ♫Blackbird singing in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see♪.. I had a dream many many years ago after his death in which John Lennon came to me and sang a missing portion of the song 'Once There Was A Way'.. to get back homeward. The missing lyrics, which comes right after the first part, just for you sir swan: Rhymes with the first section but goes like this~ Recognize that day is almost over, recognize the day is nearly gone.. sleep pretty darling do not cry and I will sing a lullaby-ee. There was more to the dream but that's enough for now. ;) Other entries in Articles 23 Aug 2022 @ 09:55: Gravity battery ref 23 Aug 2022 @ 09:53: Gravity battery ???. 2 May 2022 @ 06:45: How to Get Quality Dofollow Backlinks 23 Nov 2021 @ 18:26: What is Linkbuilding 25 Jun 2021 @ 15:37: Longitude at sea? 24 Aug 2020 @ 12:42: Climate and ocean 24 Aug 2020 @ 12:37: Climate update Aug 2020 15 Mar 2020 @ 19:11: Hang in.. 29 Jul 2019 @ 16:12: Onward 28 Feb 2019 @ 14:41: Solar Neighborhood pic
