Brother Michael Sky

something rings very true about that...

how do you do a triple take in writing? whoa Mdog, too may comebacks for that, I'm leaving it alone....

didn't know about the baking soda or waiting to salt the beans... and I'm southern ( they're gonna yank my card if y'all keep it up... ) but since now I'm craving chili - guess I'll try both.... crock pot is calling my name....

There was something awesome about that.... and that makes me nervous somehow..... He definitely got his moment though......

I am truly sorry Rev Dreed. He was a gift in your life - as his memories will continue to be. I hope you do not mind, if I suggest that one day he will be able to express his appreciation for your love in this life.... Think happy things about him, and until you meet again, tell folks what a good dog he was...

sweet.... I watched my mother perform weddings, years ago..... but I have not performed any... I really do not get terribly nervous in front of people though..... and there are a few who say that I would be their first choice IF they were to get married... lol

I'm trying to figure out what we are supposed to eat right now - they keep telling us that every thing we do is gonna kill us...... I'm working on Pranic Nourishment.... but, man... I STILL get hungry.....

true for anything with lungs...... and aluminum pans contribute to alheimer's..... and Microwaves mutate cell walls..... and oh, oh forget it - I'm going to Chik-fil-A......

Congratulations !!! Bet you are looking forward to the next one.... some of the jitters will be gone and it will seem much nicer....

simple soy candles are an acceptable alternative - if made by a reputable company....

seee? told ya! It is one of my peculiarities that I play with language... and your first line didn't work with mytwang - took a second to realize I needed to drop it... I don't know if you meant it - but the Naked limbs and the whistling, gave me a whole "bonus" visual... VERY nice.... two scenes - One Haiku.... ...

My prayers will be directed towards good things for you guys... Vitki, burn your lighthouse nonstop... Keep a clear spot in the fog where you two may be pinpointed clearly... There are many who would help, and your light - through the gloom - will bring them closer..

to really get to the "meat" of your connection, several more lifetimes will need to be reviewed.. until trends are discovered... The validation you received is what folks literally pray for, but have a hard time accepting.... I would advise you run with it, and work hard at breaking through again...

One of my favorite topics of discussion.... I started out with very firm ideas about reincarnation, learned from New Age folks, when new age was new...... I read all I could from all the sources I could find - from channeled info to the Hindu and Buddhist teachings.... found esoteric teachings which were fairly similar to the rest... But when I started practicing Astral Travel and the deeper stages of Meditation I found a completely different framework to begin understanding about my other incarnations, and how they relate to this one..... I am now aware of an unbroken string of experience which stretches back farther than I have been able to penetrate... so many beings, personalities, faces and experiences, that to count them would be pointless... I can not even place them in a logical progression in time..... because I have begun to think that some of them have occurred on other "timelines" - where things are just a little different - Alternate timelines, so to speak - so that we could play out lines of exploration which followed through to their conclusion, or merged back into the "present" timeline....or simply veered too far from the experience my soul desires, and were dismantled as experience after a certain point - given up as a lost cause, so to speak.... Where I used to see lifetimes as a chain - stretching back to "past" incarnations and reaching ahead into "new" lifetimes - now I see things differently..... I see what amounts to a spider web..... existing in it's entire perfection all at once.... with lifetimes radiating from a central hub, connected at various points around the web.... leading to nexus', when handfuls of lifetimes play into one strong cable.... several times around the periphery... but the only way this analogy fails is that it is backwards - the edges of the web are the ACTUAL center.... and we "start" in the middle creating our own "web" until it all works out into those "cables" reaching home.... to Union with our Creator.... where we shall return with our OWN experiences creating, and compare them with others... Thousands of lifetimes, all happening at once, all playing out like the ticking of a clock.... The amazing thing to me now is realizing that the REAL us, is simply a flickering light of awareness which travels anywhere on the web it so desires.... and wherever it goes, it experiences Time, to make it SEEM like there is an actual forward progression going on.... for the purposes of exploring this web.... But at any time - should we put forward the desire to remember how, we can learn how to step back from the web - outside of time - and learn to take a MUCH more comprehensive look at the trends we are exploring..... I know it sounds like a Buddhist monk telling you to study your navel...... but the reality of things is that we are but a tiny hologram of the whole...when we learn to Look Inside of our being for the truth, we are on the front porch of God..... Meditation is the gateway to every path we have walked, and some which have not occurred yet - but are still being formed.... If it's not over til the fat lady sings - we are the fat lady, as well as the audience... The hard part is remembering that we are the heckler too....

a friend of mine has a boxer....the slobbering IS pesky.... long stringy strands of it swaying back and forth as he approaches.....

I'll continue to prayer for your family.

soak up some of Qryo's atmosphere - you'll be sharing in no time...

Blowing winds of change a warm, calico feline a purring whirlwind

I am definitely admiring your fortitude....

I feel ya, Sancty.....

anyone tried those electronic cigarettes?

either that's tinnitus, or it is spirits coming and going....

sigh, I live to hear that music constantly... a symphony does not do it justice - but the old composers tried their best to translate it - Mozart does INDEED raise the vibration of the individual... and his works are but a shadowy comparison...

I am very stern with myself, and I have been painfully aware of how I have been pushing you. I think back ten years ago, and I would have had an almost impossible time in forgiving such treatment pointed at myself - and the fact that I can not explain it to you in an understandable manner, only compounds the hurt you must have felt. You know I have expressed the fact that I believe there has been an association between yourself and myself for a very long time. I fully believe there will come a time when perspective will answer this question for you - it is the only ease my mind has felt for quite a while now. I am not able, at this time, to devote my energies to assisting in what you are going through ( even should you accept such ) but my prayers for you will not stop, and I should say HAVEN'T stopped - because I never stopped adding you to my prayers... they are heartfelt for you and Kay, and as the situation has changed, I may say so....

I must apologize as well, I don't know how I missed your thread. I am also one of those folks who have strangers walk up and start explaining their problems, while I listen patiently... It has been disconcerting for family and friends at times.... But I cannot tell you how many times I've been thanked for being there to talk to.... how it has affected them? - I usually do not know - but I believe it helps everyone to have someone to share with....
