Give Yourself Permission To Laugh

Alex Jones gets a White House Press Pass.
He sits next to Jim Acosta.

The only American not laughing might be
Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

You don't have to like or approve of either Jones or Acosta (many don't) but you can still laugh.

Mexico In Crisis

[LINK] ->-> Mexico is in crisis ... 

Mexico has asked for humanitarian aid from the world's nations because about 10,000 Central American citizens are within her borders with or without permission, mostly without if I'm reading this right. Apparently about half that number are currently encamped near the US border, in Tijuana, with more on their way there or to other areas of the US border.

While many of us likely sympathize with Mexico's plight, and with the plight of the individuals whose presence is the issue at hand, still the irony could not be much greater.

You see, Mexico hasn't kept her own citizens at home.

Up to 20,000,000 of them are residing illegally in the United States of America. Twenty million is a sight more than ten thousand, and they have been receiving 'humanitarian aid' on the dime of Americans for quite a while now.

The Nations of Europe have their hands full with their own crisis. Most would probably simply raise an eyebrow at Mexico's request for aid as they battle to protect and preserve their own borders.

Entanglement - Infinity Past; Infinity Present; Infinity Future - Immutable

Here's a LINK that might make you smile.

Apparently the concept of entanglement goes a very long way back ... say to ... creation perhaps?

Here's a paragraph from the article:

"If quantum entanglement is valid, then a pair of entangled particles can exist billions of light-years apart from one another and actions affecting the properties of one particle will affect the properties of the other particle. Albert Einstein described this correlation between particles as "spooky action at a distance." Last year, physicists from MIT, the University of Vienna and other institutions provided strong evidence for quantum entanglement, and now, this same team of scientists has gone even further to confirm quantum entanglement."

Infinity past, infinity present, infinity future.

We've mentioned entanglement before; this takes us just a bit further down that road.

The idea that everything is, was, will be connected is not by any means 'new'. Even so, that the smart people among us are in the process of scientifically affirming the idea ... it's a fascinating journey methinks.

The acknowledging, the acceptance, of the concept changes a person's entire perspective.

Me, I'm no mathematician, no scientist, but ... well ... I can pretty easily grasp the ramifications of what this research path could lead to.

Scientific it undoubtedly is, but there are esoteric elements to it that I think we instinctively recognize ... which may seem an odd sort of statement.

The definition of 'esoteric' is :

a. intended for or understood by only a chosen few, as an inner group of disciples or initiates
said of ideas, literature, etc.

b. beyond the understanding or knowledge of most people; abstruse

That would imply that hardly anybody could understand it - so how does that fit with all of us instinctively recognizing something?

Well, we mostly aren't going to be able cognitively explain - our smart people are working their way toward that - but if ever you've stood beneath the stars brilliant in a night sky, or watched a sunrise or sunset, or felt the power of the surf and tides or at any time felt 'something' that made you know that you're a part of it all ... I'd say that's your instinctive response to that Something.

I don't particularly need a whole lot of scientific research to 'prove' what the cells of my body already know, what my spirit already acknowledges - but it kind of does bring that third part of my own personal 'trinity', my mind - cognition - into balance with the others.

I AM a part of it all.

So are you.

Infinity past, infinity present, infinity future.

Immutably bound.

We don't have to be able to explain it in order to know it.

Energy-Flipping

There's this thing about energy.

It's got a whole explanation behind it but for the moment we're just going to go with what is actually a pretty simple  concept.

Say you've got a bunch of bad energy coming from inside, or from anywhere for that matter.

It's Energy - and you can use it instead of feeling like it's gonna drown you or otherwise keep you from what you want to be, which probably is NOT feeling like negative energy is swamping you.

So you flip it.

Your body, mind, and soul are inextricably linked. You are one organism so all of your parts (body, mind, spirit) are in the same place at the same time, right? You might not be able to change what's going on in the world around you - but you CAN take your own parts and use them to help each other.

If you're feeling blue, or cranky, or whatever, and would rather feel happy, or in a good mood instead ...

Here's the 'simple' part.

Your body affects the other parts as much as they affect your body, so use it.

Use your body.

Behavior (the use of your body) is a product, if you will, of what's going on inside of you.

The reverse is also true.

Believe me on this one because it's been put to some severe tests by my own self.

When you feel like boo-hooing, sing instead.

When you feel like cutting loose and hollering, find something good to talk about instead.

When you feel like sitting on the couch and lazing the day away, get up and do something active.

What you WANT to be doing instead of what you Feel Like Doing At The Moment is just as much an option for you at any given time, so pick that option instead of the negative one.

Hard to do?

Yep.

But really hard only at the beginning. It gets easier and you'll get really good at it before you even realize.

That having been said, it does take some will-power and might not always work as quick as you want it to. Don't you quit. Keep trying ... unless you want to wallow in negativity, you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

When you're using your body to sing, or dance, or take a walk, or do something (anything) productive and fun, it has the effect of re-setting your mind and your soul to go along with it.

Whether Energy comes across as Negative or Positive, it is STILL ENERGY and you can most certainly take that Negative and flip it into Positive.

The quickest and 'easiest' way is to use your body.

Physically 'acting out' behaviors that belong to what you want to 'be' or to 'feel' actually do have more of an impact than a person would think.

You'll feel as though you're 'being fake' but really you're behaving in anticipation of what you will soon be, and there will be times you might notice the transition between 'faking it' and 'making it happen'. It's all part of the same thing, all part of You.

Which isn't to say that whatever was making you blue, or cranky, or whatever doesn't need to be dealt with - it's just a lot easier to do that if you tackle it from a position of strength - and flipping negative to positive, on purpose and by using your own body, mind, and spirit in positive ways to make it happen reminds you pretty powerfully that you DO have the strength to deal with what you need to deal with.

Just sayin'.

You've got more to you than you might think.


The photo? CERN banged two tiny bits of matter together and got a picture of the Energy produced when they collided and their Energy spiraled out to take whatever form was next for it as it was done being those particles. This is the top view. The side view looks like an hourglass.

That's beauty, the Energy of our world.

If those two tiny particles contained the Energy caught in that photo, imagine how much Energy our bodies contain.

Quit underestimating yourself.

You've got everything you need right there in your own self - body, mind, spirit - so what's keeping you from using it?

Nothing. 

Find your Balance.

Love Yourself - because until you do you won't know how to love anyone else.
