When it comes to social media and the internet i think the cat is out of the bag and the genie is out of the bottle. Neither of them are going to go back in willingly. The only way to limit or control it would be total government control which I’d probably what they wanted all along: Oh yeah 🙁. A “car web-site/app” is saying on Tv that all you have to do IS ENTER YOUR LICENSE PLATE NUMBER and it will tell you how much you can get for your car. ?? Got that? So, anyone can put in your license plate number and it comes up what make of car, year, and what else??? Maybe..... maybe.... this was just another stupid detail of one of my dreams...

I sure hope so 😆.
I am running a little “rag-ged” (around the edges) lately. Can’t put a finger on it.... exactly... EXCEPT: I have this conscious feeling of “I’m tired of being Other”.
Not necessarily in a bad way.... just different. 🙂
When I’m with clients, it’s all good ☺️. My being a “sensitive, compassionate woman” fits. I’m thinking clearly, pacing myself, that type of personal caring.
Then I have to get in my car, and traffic, going to a store, is a whole different pace. I’ve done a couple of service work lately, and that should feel comfortable, but it doesn’t. Yet.
I get headaches. Being outside is NOT like getting fresh air. (It is muggy August 😉).
And something else.... a friend gave me a t-shirt that she couldn’t wear because it made her too hot. It’s the perfect blend of cotton-poly and even feels GOOD on my skin. At the time, I was wearing a more cotton t-shirt (it was heavy feeling) and she said that I was wearing the better shirt.... ?
IDK. If I pay attention to “stuff” like this, I DO tend to prefer the more synthetic?
It started out as not buying 100% cotton because I didn’t want to iron 🤣.

Trying to do a few things different with my life. 👍🏻
Bought an “activity/steps” tracker. Bought some organic seasonings and spices. Ginger root, that I got as a sprinkle, I sprinkle in my coffee 🙂. (Ginger is good for arthritis). And, I’m getting results.
A friend has talked about a paleo diet, and there’s a cookbook around here (somewhere); I’ve seen it.
December will be 12 mo without an iron infusion.... and I’m hoping and praying!
You have to find what works for You. 😉
Like, I just previously talked about clothing. Cotton vs. cotton blends. Etc.
Igannance is NOT bliss.
I have to remember everything that I’ve learned about myself these past few years. My “sensitivities”.
This week, I especially felt “off”. Exhausted. Really, for no reason. Wondered if something was going on with our sun, and I could have looked that up on the Net for myself, but missing Cliff; and his posts.
Headache again today 🙁. This morning over coffee, my mom tells me that she has been feeling like her appearance is “ugly”. Oh man. I don’t know how men are about this, but for a woman to feel ugly, is really hard on our soul. Not just a bad hair day, or calling one’s self “fat”. Being “attractive” is just instilled in us women at such a young age....
I know my mom; she’s wanting a permanent in her hair, and she will feel better. But can I also notice her hair and clothing and tell her some positive things? Did I ask her what makes her feel that she is “ugly”?
No, I didn’t. I didn’t say anything out loud, but I made her statement about ME. Every morning I have coffee with her. Every morning this week she has gone on and on about what we need to do about this house, and I DO listen to her. But this adds a whole new dimension to her “anxiety”.
I FELT UGLY. There’s ways to quit picking up other people’s emotions, and I’m going to find it. 😊

usareally.com/2885-on-the-threshold-of-a-new-religion-the-dark-truth-behind-ufos________________ Whether you agree with this writer or not, I want to stress that the Bible expressly tell us to live without fear; once we ask Jesus Christ for redemption and into our hearts and lives. So why should I fear looking into the skies? Read your Bible, folks. So many life lessons are given there; just look. Reread what you don’t understand. Don’t just focus on a verse; read the chapter. The Bible is your first demonstration of what current technology is TRYING TO DO. We humans are trying to “make” something that interacts with us from a material base......

As reported by the New York Times in 2017, recent studies in the U.S. suggest that people are becoming more open to the existence of UFOs and other paranormal phenomena as religiosity decreases. According to Pew Research, absolute certainty in God’s existence dropped from 71 to 63 percent amongst Americans. Pew Research shows Americans who are irreligious or lack belief in God are about two times more likely to believe in UFOs. _______________ www.ufodigest.com/article/ufo-perspectives-from-the-worlds-top-experts/

“Religiosity decreases”
Is that the phrase for what’s going on in our world?
Do people refrain from angry impulses? On their own? OR, if they are religious?
I pull up “oogle” with a g this morning, and the first news is “a waiter shot for being slow with a sandwich”.
Closer to home, I ask a person at the counter of my local gas station how their day is going (I don’t know this attendant). They tell me that computers are down earlier during the “morning rush” and so they were getting “death stares”. Honesty that maybe I didn’t need, but, hey, I did ask 😉😂.
Am I going to quit asking? Probably not.
I know that normally I don’t have impulses to shoot someone in impatience over my food. I don’t think I put out death stares when I am inconvenienced..... hmmmmmm.
Do normal people HAVE these “impulses” but manage to quell them?
I’m forgetful, but COULD I leave a baby in a car seat in my car? I think not. As my daughter-in-law put it, “it takes too much effort to get that kid in the car, in the car seat, to forget it.”
So what is going on here?
A “lack of religion” isn’t the START of it.
The impulse thing? Check your thoughts.

I came across that quote about “religion” and belief in UFOs (statistics) while looking for articles by D.w. Pasgula (spelling). (And it’s not her quote 😉).
She’s someone that you may also want to look into. She’s had access to both Keel and Vallee from a scholarly approach. Both of them seemed to welcome her into their inner circle.
I had wondered if I would ever see, in his own words, why Vallee left France for America. Every one might have thought the answer was obvious... but.....
On a driving tour of the Silicon Valley area, he told D.W. that France had been a “dead society”. In the context of the internet and innovations he has been a part of here.
Think of his age, all the things he (Jacques Vallee) has seen. The book that D.W. published this year, with “Silicon Valley” in the title, has such fine, minute detail, on what Vallee thought that “close encounters 3rd kind” should have in it....
I’m so glad I still have an interest in reading. 😄

And I just read this: www.aljazeera.com/amp/indepth/opinion/2017/08/priceless-racism-duke-edinburgh-170810082226234.html______________ NOT, mind you, all the way through. I already had dreams last night of falling into a sewer. I kid not. These dreams were horrible. And baseless, and ....... In one of them, my sweet poodle was growling and jumping on me! All, after spending an evening reading “forbidden science,? Volume number 1” 🤣 Can you laugh at that? __________________ Then, I somehow came across a picture of vallee, Michel, and Anton Lavey. Vallee and Lavey smiling honestly like they were having the greatest of conversation. Will this post, um, errrrrrr, post?

I almost hate to announce that “things” in my life are pretty “smooth” right now. Don’t get me wrong; I have normal, everyday, mundane problems like most people.
My memory is constantly bad; if I don’t focus on using my memory. I almost lost my keys recently, which I consider near impossible! 🤣 (have checks and balances; there big time).
Anyway, my idea of mindfulness is paying attention to everything I do. What a novelty! 🙄
The biggest thing, I’ll keep pushing, is my prayer life. I am SO thankful for all the protections afforded me!

Maybe I will discuss this later (maybe not). I THINK That with all the “help” I have been seeking, all of my life, at least someone would have asked me if I “suspected schizophrenia”?? Nope. Never. The closest I have come, is some therapist years ago teaching me to listen to my “self-talk” (what I say to myself in my own head, that supposedly no one else can hear). AND I BECAME AWARE THAT SOME OF THE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD WERE DEFINITELY NOT MINE! It started a “resistance” (on my part). And then, comes the “bad dreams” (where I am obviously vulnerable). So, tonight, it FINALLY happened. Yes, by that I mean, that I openly searched for SOMETHING that sounds similar to what I deal with. So Yes, I wanted something to confirm my bias..... and I have been looking for a long, long time. 😊 So here it is: and like always, it just “fell in my lap” like a gift; so think what you want. Just please, research it if you are able. I think THIS SHOULD MAKE sense, to a lot of suffering people: www.keyholejourney.com/list-of-lies.html

Attempts made to point out clearly observable, consistent patterns the “voices” displayed inconsistent with hallucinations fell on deaf ears and labeled by one psychiatrist as “new age crap.” I was given a write up that went on my record.

Instead many hundreds, of patients reported that the messages these “voices” were giving them was far from random, .....

I got a “message” between September 16 and 17, 2019 (and like I keep telling you all, my mind is muddled right now due to allergies. The dates on when this message happened, however, are very clear).
The 16th, was a normal, no frills, Monday. Both at work and at home. So, my “attitude” on Tuesday, September 17, was very different. I was uplifted. It was by particular thoughts, and I searched my mind from where this topic started. Was it on Sunday at church? (I didn’t go to church). Was it something I heard on a radio program or a tv show that I might have overheard? Searching..... because my mind was so focused on this “new topic”. Did I dream something? Ahh... maybe that was it. A half-remembered discussion with a “dream person” (a woman?). Very brief. Vague remembrance. 😊
What is it about the date? I still don’t know.

Do You, even when someone treats you badly, or indifferently; do You STILL try to CARE for that person??
Now, in my line of work, (and a lot of yours, I’m sure - especially if you work with people at all) THIS can be a struggle.
I mean, you still do your job, or see your family, or whatever, and try to keep your feelings out of it. I mean, that it is obvious, after repeated exposures to someone, that either the person is not going to be “nice” to you for any reason. OR, the person flat out lets you know that it IS personal- they don’t like YOU.
So, the struggle becomes, does that give you the RIGHT to not like them back?
Seriously. Haven’t you also had the reverse- where you did NOT LIKE someone, and they continued to be “nice” to you? Weirdness, right?
(And PLEASE, we are not talking about the Bullying scenario, here).
It’s a fine line; I know.
But it just so happens that sometimes I still “Like” people, see the “good” in them, even if I am privy to their bad attitude.
For example, a co-worker I had for near 11 years, we often

rubbed each other wrong. Sometimes It was obvious, sometimes it was not. He got on my nerves, but I never voiced that I did not like him, or could not work with him. Eventually, I had to make that choice.... and keep BOTH of our “hostility” at bay. Finally, I was at a loss. How did it ever get this bad? Was I blind? Gullible? Obviously I HAD gotten on his last nerve much sooner....

The “message” was expressed in words. But also, in deep, almost whimsical, wonderful, feelings of great love.
It was like, “a continuing conversation”. I don’t know how else to explain it!
It was like, someone only had a brief moment to explain something to me. It was done in an exciting, and almost breathless way, and I “KNEW” that they were talking about Heaven... I wish I could remember the exact words....
Something like-
“Oh! The people there to greet you! It is so wonderful! The Love! Also from people that you didn’t even know thought of you, much less you knew that they loved you!”

Sigh.... I want to post “quotes” from the articles I posted earlier about the online book of Roy Vincent. I believe that he gives permission to do so.
The man is now in his 90’s. He acknowledges this, but says he will reply to emails. 😊 ______________________
I do know (personally) another individual who has had electric shock treatments a number of times (years ago). She also was once on about 13 different kinds of meds.... Her family was very supportive and eventually she no longer needed so many medications! I feel very fortunate to know her, years after all that. 🙂
And she feels very fortunate to have recovered from all that “treatment”. 😊
When she broke her wrist, I was her “personal assistant” for a year. Yes, it was a bad break; requiring pins, surgeries, etc. Besides that, I believe it was a great year for the both of us! I look back now, and can’t imagine how she must have initially felt about the broken wrist! She was a year away from retiring, and also played the piano for her church every week!
Wow! That’s part and parcel about “how these things go”......

I had another bad dream last night. Can’t remember it now. Do I want to remember it? Not really.
I’ve come to KNOW, that these dreams are nothing “prophetic”, or nothing that I need to record. The “message” that I am getting from these dreams, is that “something” likes to stir me up emotionally. Often using themes from my past. Ah, there’s the memory of last nights dream- vague. There was drugs in my dream. Yuck! I’m over 14 years SOBER, in my real life. I wouldn’t touch the stuff in my dreams! But it’s still disturbing.

“Mood creation, dominance and oppression, physical presence, compulsion, addiction and paranoia, together with aspects of manic depression. All of these, according to Roy Vincent, can be included with voice hearing as the unwanted effects of spiritual intrusion. In this article he leaves out hearing voices, having described his experiences thoroughly in his book Listening to the Silences, and concentrates on the remainder, the "silent intrusions" - trying to promote understanding and ways of coping and supporting.

I could not be more public in my declaration, in my assertion that there is spiritual access to the minds and bodies of individuals, some of whom are made mentally ill by the invasion.
Having done my part, all that remains is that you should do yours. If you work in the field of mental health or are a caregiver, I cannot exhort you any more than I have already.

In some ways, I don’t quite know how to discuss this subject from here. From myself; and this place I’ve allowed myself “into”.
Namely, that “if you look too long into the abyss, how long before you realize that something is looking back?”
Valid question.
Next question: does this topic in any way relate to the ufo phenomenon? If it does, is this why some people actively avoid talking about the ufo phenomenon at all?
Some people want to say the “ufo phenomenon” involves a “spiritual experience”. Despite that THERE IS SOME NUTS AND BOLTS and other PHYSICAL EFFECTS to the “ufo experience”.
I wanted to hilight some of the comments Roy Vincent makes, that show to me that there is some overlap of the two topics. 😊
We’ll see if I am able to....

But first:
“When the religious have lost their way in their chosen world of spirit, within which they should be guides, what hope is there for the rudderless, blown hither and thither by tormenting voices? _____________________
My former parish priest would often deliver sermons or homilies based upon the wonderful and noble deeds of someone, now probably canonised, who had achieved so much at the behest of spiritual voices, but would invariably end by saying "Of course, if any of us hear voices, we should seek psychiatric help".

abou hearing things and seeing things - if they do not bring harm to onesself or close others then listen and watch - not obsessively, but as one would watch for something wild and shy. For they are both. If they are encouraging harmful drug or alcohol use - get detoxed, get a group or program and turn away...
