How Stupid People Change the World

10/8/2018

In the early morning, before the phone rings or the computer gets turned on, I like to sit and drink my caffeinated beverage and think about stuff.  I wonder about stuff all the time: what is the nature of Truth? is there such a thing as Absolute Truth? and who would know?  This morning, of all lofty images came the face of Mitch McConnell.
I wonder how people can do so much evil and think they are doing good.  Or do they?  Or do they even care?
This came up because of the suggestion on social media that McConnell be credited on his tombstone with ending our constitutional government through his interference and obstruction.  Why would a person do that?  And then I came up with an answer. 
The people, mostly men, who are running our country at the moment are very much like little children.  I would say four year olds, because they scream and yell and have to have their way.  They have neither the wisdom or maturity or maybe even the native intelligence to look at a bigger picture.  Instead of "what will this do for or to the country?" they are at the level of "what will this do for or to me?"
There's a pack of 'em, and i think they appeal to the four year old brat in many people, the ones who want to finally get their way, the ones who don't give a good fat damn what it means to anyone else.  What a strange time we are in, and I hate to compare it to strange times that have come before, in other lands, when the intelligent and educated are reviled by the selfish and greedy, who just happen to be in charge.
​I don't have an answer.  I was just thinking.

Today's discovery thanks to TAT and Grace

     Last week I came back from New York so proud that I had done two things:  made the trip at all and not gotten sick.  Pablo got sick, and so I was doubly proud of myself, since we traveled home together.  And then, after a couple of productive days, I got sick, too.
     When I get sick, I seem to take it very seriously.  I know this goes back to when I was a kid, when the doctors told my mom several times that I was going to die.  Having already lost one daughter, she would panic and extreme measures became the norm for every childhood illness I got.  
     So here I was, sick again, blowing unGodly stuff out of my head, and giving myself endless shit about how I "did this to myself" again by eating dairy products on my trip.  It was easy, cheese is in everything, I kept telling myself it was ok, that other people could do it, so could I.  But I always get sick when I eat dairy, especially when the weather is colder, which it was getting to be up there.
   So here I am, back in the warm sunny South, blowing my nose, miserable, when I remember that hello!!  I know TAT, I can do a session on this.  In case you don't know, TAT is this beautiful, loving way of investigating and healing our issues.  It is so gentle and inclusive.
    I wrote down all my thoughts, which included:  "everytime there's something going around, I get sick" (and variations on that theme) to "there's something wrong with me" to the very specific "I can't handle dairy products.  Everytime I try they make me sick."
and then I start the TAT process, which involves a specific placement of hands on the head and a series of statements.
     With the first statement, I am taken back to a night when I was seven years old.  I had gotten a bottle of milk (remember glass bottles with those crimped foil lids?) out of the fridge when it slipped out of my little hand and shattered all over the floor.  And that was, I discovered through TAT, when my world shattered.  Instead of comforting and helping me, I was yelled at.  My dad had wartime PTSD, my mom already a little afraid of his rages.  The story goes on, but no wonder I haven't been able to handle dairy!!!  Literally.
     My horoscope today:
Oct 05, 2018 - You're detached from your feelings today, which makes it easier to check under the hood for forgotten memories. You can rummage through those old feelings and experiences, and reflect on where your life has taken you. You don't react to your memories with such fresh emotion anymore, which gives you a bit of objectivity. Just make sure that you let those old events go instead of putting them back into storage. It's time to close certain chapters of your life. Make way for a new version of yourself.

     Who says God doesn't have a sense of humor?  If you're plagued with recurring somethings, as I have been with respiratory stuff, you might want to give TAT a try.  You can Google it and do it yourself or talk to me about a session. Message me here or on Facebook.  Love to you.

    I am a lifelong seeker of connection with the Divine through music, food, art, meditation, healing work, love, travel and people.  My search has taken me around the world to my current home in the mountains of GA.   Everything I do is part of this Divine Life.  On a good day, I am aware of it, and grateful.
