I am content
Hello Friends
I was going to call this post it's better than bling and keep you guessing because today I'm thinking about value. So, maybe a good affirmation for today could be, I am content but another great one could be, I value myself or to shorten, I value me.
I'm glad a did the self hypnosis cd a few years ago about overcoming emotlonal spending as its around every corner. Browsing whether it is facebook, instagram or shops grabs you by the short and curlies and is almost inescapable for the middle aged woman who is constantly seeking something outside of her, rather than focusing on the inner world (it happens to me!)
Can you have too many words written on a curtain, or too much glitter glued onto a picture? Can we have just too many photos on instagram, or share too much of our private world on facebook? Are we obsessesed with making something more than it is. Do we constantly want to see a distorted image of what could be, rather than what it is?
Parking was a problem today in my small market town and if I'd had a little more time I would've walked the mile and a half to town as it's been a lovely day and still is! No doubt that would have been good for me but we've all become a little car dependent and I am guilty of that too. Time rules this world of clicks and ticks!
It has been a great day though because I had a lovely coffee with my girlfriend, who also gave me a rake for my leaves and some fabulous homegrown leeks for my dinner. I'm always pleased to cook home grown vegetables because just the smell of them takes me back to my childhood, and our vegetable garden because my father was a fabulous gardener. I remember watching him making the holes for the leeks and dropping in the seeds and filling the holes with the watering can. He made the holes with the end of the hoe, or at least I think that's how he did it because memory also gets a little distorted over time. I do remember the raspberrry jam though and the homemade crusty bread plus the leeks. The autumn trees remind me of that feeling of waiting for something that's really coming. Something that resembles real treasure. Raspberry jam on crusty bread or a Sunday roast.
I'm proud of the fact that I've resisted the bling because although I love a bit of sparkle, when it leaves the shop and gets into your home, it seldom has the same appeal. Short lived is just that, short lived whereas real things such as family, friends, trees and vegetables seem to live on in your mind forever. Long gone is the shallow, yet we are all wallowing in mud of our own making as we leave our proper connections behind to enter a whole of photoshopped poses', glittery phrases and sparkly skies.
What happened to 'A fly Went By' or 'Summer' where the pages of the book were looked at so often they became the promise of things to come. Sadly it's been replaced by unicorns, goo and children's furniture. What can you now give a child? Maybe the best thing you can give them is a huge chunk of bread, a home grown carrot and a pair of welly boots, plus the chance for them to see mud caked on their hands knowing that it is only the real, that lives on!

REFLECTIONS
Interesting that I wake up at 5.30 of 6 a.m. now and do most of my writing first thing in the morning before I start any projects for the day. I've been thinking this morning about how the guaranteed income will work - it isn't in yet, but it is coming because there will be no choice with a crippled economy, it will seem like a gift. Remember the FEAR of financial loss is intense but don't give up your liberties in the process. Who will travel in the future? Will you be downgraded as a citizen to a different band which could deny you individual freedoms? Perhaps that doesn't matter to you? I realise for many people there will be little choice but to comply as AI take our jobs, we will be programmed to think differently, which is already happening through social media and technology.
TO BREAK THROUGH THE ILLUSION YOU HAVE TO WALK THROUGH THE MIRROR!
The political, psychological and spiritual aspects of what is happening now on our planet are all interlinked. There is the CO2 argument and believe me; it is one. We have the group who believe with the scientists and environmentalist that CO2 is destroying our planet and we have the rest who think it the Earth's natural cycle and it would have happened anyway with or without humans.
And while this is happening, we are so in FEAR we are willing to accept our branding. You need branding. You need branding, even social media is pushing that agenda But is branding giving us our identity or is it making us part of the collective? Are we merely another file in the machine, or are we a cog or wheel in something else? Perhaps we need to consider whether surrounding to a system is going to benefit us long term we have to be compliant to a system that is built on the bones of fascism. Have the Government suddenly woken up to our needs and become compassionate? Do they care, when they stripped away benefits from the disabled? All we can do in a world of questions and divides is to search our hearts, but I implore you to walk through that mirror to ask to be shown the way forward - A New Earth awaits us, but it will be the Earth that we create through the higher realms of consciousness and not through the illusion. When the walls are torn down, and we see what has been preventing us from having free energy, free water and land to share. The political and environmental factors cannot be ignored, but neither can the cry of the people who may have saved all their lives for those trips in their retirement. We need change, but it has to be the right change. So today do something good for you - something that will honour your presence as a sovereign being and ask that you can see a new way forward through the smog because the Earth is re-creating itself and the birds are singing.
