Before I knew what happened, yesterday flew by
And my head was so busy, taking care of daily life, that
I'd forgotten to call my guru before her weekend, at rest, began
What kept me so busy? Priorities:
My head was filled with thoughts of organizing errands and
Food shopping before assuming the role of hostess, welcoming
A pair of snowbirds, who'd felt eager to introduce us to
Their friends while we six engaged in happy hour within
The cozy environment of the living room of our home
Followed by dinner at one of our favorite restaurants
As to the food shopping, I'd carried three lists into Sprouts:
The first for yesterday's happy hour, the second for
Our portion of the gourmet dinner club, which we'll enjoy, tonight
And the third to prepare a heartfelt welcoming brunch to yet another
Dear friend from college, who having lost his wife
(my treasured friend) to brain cancer, several years back
Flies in to stay with us, tomorrow
As to Monday, I'll leave a voice mail for my guru before
Picking up Ravi ... good thing my friend is a doting granddad, who
Understands that though I've chosen to cancel Monday's session
With my trainer, I can't help but indulge my spirit's resistance to
Mustering the patience to wait until
Thursday's standing-play-date to sweep my sweet natured
Fourteen month old, granddaughter's open armed smile into
My loving embrace ... Thank goodness, Ravi's spirit is
As winsome as a wood sprite, who thus far
Wins hearts wherever we go, simply by being true to herself ...
As for now, I want to end, today, with a photo of
Ravi's sparkling smile, covered with birthday cake, but
Having forgotten to call my guru, and knowing my iPad to be
Fussy about imprinting photos to my blog, I'd rather not
Muster the patience to quell heated frustration before
Cooking up two delectable dishes that I've decided to create
(Without so much as a recipe in sight) for our
Gourmet dinner group of eight, which plans to gather, tonight, at 6
So, Having chosen to turn my mind toward enjoying
Today's creative venture, which awaits my arrival in
The kitchen (where yesterday's free-spirited saunter through
Sprouts prepared me to partake in today's sense of
Creative spontaneity with which I'll combine
Fresh ingredients for this evening's repast, which
Had been selected intuitively while cruising from aisle to aisle)
And Now that I've chosen to adopt an attitude of patience until
My guru's guidance offers up her wealth of knowledge, which will
Hopefully, resolve whatever has caused
My computer's hard drive to be cloaked within a grey fog
I'll hope you are choosing to enjoy a five star day as have I ...

1332 WHY NO PICTORIAL REVIEW, AS OF YET?
I was close to completing and posting
My pictorial review, as promised, when
My computer went on the fritz
Oh no! Not again!
This revoltin'development has taken place so often that
I wonder if a portion of my hard drive is fried
Once again, all I get is a grey screen
Called my computer guru ... Twice
Followed each of her directives to the letter
Nada... Thus far
As you know me to be a die hard, who
Does not give up on anything of value
I'm not about to declare this ship sunk ...
At least not yet ... Why not?
Well first off, I know that stuck is not sunk
And since this computer, which conveys
My thoughts to you, is as complex as
The machine-like brains that exist within our heads
I'll call my guru for brain-trained guidance, again, before
My die hard spirit frees my thought processor to
Dub my computer Titanic
And though frustration yearns to flare
Intuitive thought suggests that
Time to muster a whale of patience is ripe
And as we have plans with dear friends, who've
Flown here from the North East to winter neath
The soothing caress of the desert sun
I'm short on writing time, so rather than
Working to resolve this mystery before sunset
My immediate plan of action is simple:
Leave a voice mail for computer guru
Then, having penned this post on my iPad
I'll nourish my spirit by consciously choosing to
Fully enjoy another sun-kissed day with
Treasured friends from college days
(Who, having fallen in love with
Our desert oasis, can't stop gushing happiness about
Having chosen blue skies over grey clouds), and
Knowing that tomorrow is Saturday, followed by
Sunday, comprising 48 hours, which
My guru devotes, each week, to resting her mind, thus
Warding off burn out, I'll fill you in
Tomorrow, as to whether my computer remains
Stuck in a grey cloud of mysterious goings on that
Continue to clog its ability to hum in a rebalanced fashion .. Or
Whether I've struck the right key that, in addition to
Freeing my computer's inner workings, will also
Free my mind of frustration that reality suggests
Must be coiling up deep inside the inner workings of
My brain, for this reason:
Frustration is a natural emotional reaction when
A coveted goal remains just beyond our reach, and
Even the most self disciplined mind is still human, deep inside
And now, having penned that insight, which tapped into common sense
Imagine me choosing to suppress feelings of frustration in favor of
Thinking thoughts that fuel my mind with feelings of gratitude, concerning
The fact that I'm about to enjoy the warmth of another sunny day, spent
With loved ones, offering my spirit heartfelt reason to challenge
Frustration to sit in time out, and thus do Iconsciously create
Brain space to feel as playfully joyful over my soulful good fortune as does
The peaceful mind of a well loved, well balanced child, whose
Mind still feels so safe as to freely satisfy her needs without
Fearing that if she disappoints others, she'll be banished, left to
Starve, emotionally, out in the darkly dreaded, cloudy cold, which
Blinds her mind's eye from seeing that, around a distant corner, life will
Offer her sweet natured heart the emotional clarity that
Proves necessary to frolic neath blue skies as freely as
Is true of ... Ravi, thus far ... You see, thus far, no giant, who
Has won Ravi's love, has confused her wholesome, well balanced
Sense of self by releasing emotional reactions that cause
A. good little girl to fear that if she is not
Perfection, personified, she will be deemed unworthy of love ...

1331 WHAT IS THE HUMAN SOUL? AND WHAT IS ITS ANTITHESIS?
I googled: Human soul and was referred to this website: Gotquestions?org
"Question: "What is the human soul?"
"Answer: The Bible is not perfectly clear as to the nature of the human soul. But from studying the way the word soul is used in Scripture, we can come to some conclusions. Simply stated, the human soul is the part of a person that is not physical. It is the part of every human being that lasts eternally after the body experiences death.
The human soul is central to the personhood of a human being. As George MacDonald said, “You don’t have a soul. You are a Soul."
A soul is required for personhood. Scripture suggests that the human soul is distinct from the heart [Deuteronomy 26:16; 30:6] and the spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12] and the mind. It can be strong or unsteady, lost or saved. It is the soul that needs atonement to rest.
There is often confusion about the human spirit vs. the human soul. In places, Scripture seems to use the terms interchangeably, but there might be a subtle difference. When the Bible talks about man’s spirit, it is usually speaking of an inner force which animates a person in one direction or another. It is repeatedly shown as a mover, a dynamic force."
(If you ask what I think, here's what I'd say: Whereas the spirit is divisive in terms of feeling mean spirited, here while feeling kind spirited, there, the soul remains at one with itself, suggesting why a troubled soul feels need to inspire an inquisitive mind to seek insight into deeper truths (based in experiential wisdom stretching back through history across the time line) until our sixth sense signals our intelligence to solve puzzling situations by piecing bigger pictures together, until such time as a soulful need to blend logic with compassion fills the conscious portion of a person'sawareness with such a flood of humility as to sweep the defensive needs of the ego aside, and as wisdom knows to sprinkle patience, here and there, a mounting sense of frustration tends to subside, and once a person's conscious awareness absorbs this recipe, which blends self-discipline with solution seeking creativity, a peaceable attitude, concerning the implementation of a step by step approach to change for the better may begin to be imperceptible to every eye except for the eye that has been consciously trained not to wander too far from the path where the soul feels most at peace ... and since the defensive nature of the ego is not easily restrained for very long, wisdom suggests that we each need a trusty guide, whose mind proves well trained to inspire our intelligence to cautiously but steadily carve the next leg of this path, which offers our souls the existential freedoms necessary to satisfy basic human needs in such creative ways as to offer the insight-driven mind The ability to co-exist peaceably with those whose defense systems blind their intelligence from identifying the depths of their repressed despair of ever seeing their way out of the darkly cloudy, fear-based maze that separates mind, heart and spirit from feeling wholesomely at peace with choices that are souly their own to make. )
It has been said that ... the soul is imperishable. That thought should be both sobering and awe-inspiring. Every person you meet is an eternal soul. Every human being who has ever lived is a soul, and all of those souls are still in existence somewhere. The question is, where?"
(Perhaps this is why some believe in the soulful nature of reincarnation ... not by replicating the same body but suggestive of the undying soul, being absorbed during an innocent infant's first breath of life after which each new born spirit cries aloud, voicing an innate independence from the human body that had hosted the formation of a brand new life. BTW: If you'd think to ask me what I think causes the divisive nature of the human spirit, I'd suggest we reconsider the fact that Mother Nature created two opposing sides of human nature - the dark, defensive side, driven by the impatience of an egocentric fear of failure vs the bright side, which, being energized by sparks of courage, ignite our desire to explore ever more deeply into that which is, as yet, unknown - and as both sides of human narure vie for space within every person's thought processor, our spirits sway, back and forth tweet fear and courage until intuitive thought, stimulated by an unexpected experience, creates unrest within a mind that suddenly feels a compelling need to explore a self reflective path, which makes better sense of the confounding maze, created by the previous generation, which had misguidedly believed their opinions to be facts until someone's path crosses paths with an old soul, who feels eager to guide those who remain open minded to see that there's more to learn than we can hope to absorb in the brief time that each body is allotted to live on planet Earth. And knowing that our busy brains tend to forget thousands of facts, which have been stored in memory, we, who are fortunate to cultivate a sensitivity to open mindedness will, one day, come to trust a guiding soul, who does not tire of clarifying creative ways to better our lives, because the conscious mind of this old soul will have (for some intuitive reason) become highly trained to offer up strings of insight, gently and repeatedly, and thank goodness, each mind, which feels inspired to follow one of these guides, tends to pass insight driven guidance on to the next generation, and in this way do progress and change for the better partner up as the future unfolds.
Perhaps feeling soulful proves to be the antithesis of the ego's need to feel safe by usurping control over thought processors, which are not our own. On the other hand, that's not to say that the old soul, versed in need to satisfy basic human needs, all around, is in need of seeking sainthood to feel like a good soul, because that wouldn't free a person's conscience to live a well balanced life, right?
Perhaps the defensive needs of the ego and our soulful desire to create change for the better, within reason, create the sense of balance that is missing from far too many lives ... and if you believe, as did Anne Frank, that every person is good, deep inside, perhaps, Anne, in her youthful, inexperienced innocence, was intuitively referencing each person's soulful 'potential' to be steered clear of the dark side of life, which brings to mind my belief that adults, who are not completely blindsided by fear, do not grow too old to coax their defensive reactions to sit in time out, thus freeing a sense of inquisitive intelligence to quest toward knowing both sides of their nature ever more deeply so as to influence each next generation to create change for the better, throughout the world, by grasping a soulful (intuitive) understanding of how best to continue to tap into the bright light of The Force that naturally shines forth at birth from within every innocent child, and in this way will today's positively focused guides steer children to develop into tomorrow's leaders, who will seek to direct each next generation to appreciate the blessed state of soulful togetherness more than had proved possible of the last ... And with that said ...let's hope that my next post reflects the pictorial of familial friendship that I consciously and purposefully chose to pass to our sons, each of whom is in the process of role-modeling and verbally coaching the conscious minds, belonging to Tony, Ray and Ravi, to absorb the same positively focused energy that creates heartful and spiritual bonds though they may be separated from each other by hundreds of miles as each develops into a mindfully patient and loving adult, and once time permits me to assemble and post the family pictorial that serves as soul food for one who proves as family-minded as is true of me, hopefully, we'll see my storytelling hat floating gently down from on high until it centers itself lightly on my head, at last ...)

Here stands an innocent child, wearing a jaunty hat, which covers the fact that her sweet spirited mind feels so deeply confounded by adult reactions (as they try but fail to hide the depth of their pain from each other and themselves) as to induce her intuitive soul to compel her adult mind to set out on a quest in search of her lost sense of peaceful repose by imploring her thought processor to develop the existential voice of self assertiveness, which had retreated, fearfully and submissively, in the darkly confounding aftermath of her baby sister's tragic death ... Note that this sweet natured child's arms are bandaged from scratching incessantly as her innate intelligence itched to reach beneath the surface of conscious awareness until her repressed need to know and express her true self with clarity felt so clearly exposed as to inspire her sense of courage to seek help, and over time, as fear gave way to understanding, her visceral reactions to shouldering the weight of undeserved guilt (which had caused so much repressed emotional pain as to have actually drawn blood) healed ... And in light of the fact that an intuitive force runs as deep within a person's insightful soul as does ocean life, which exists in layers that run fared ever that which the fisherman's eye can fathom, is there any wonder as to why my instinctive need for clarity of verbal expression inspired my soulful quest to recapture my natural sense of inner peace so that all of me (heart, spirit, mind) feels at one with both sides of my humanness just as my soul feels at one with itself ...
(Note that upon whitening my face
my nose disappeared, suggesting that as I consciously choose quest ever more deeply into my soul, the less nosy my ego feels whenever a witches brew of gossip is cackling through the air ... And if you think I had any conscious clue of penning any of this upon awakening, today, please think again, because all I can say for sure is that each time the kind hearted side of my spirit reminds my mind to adopt a positively focused attitude, which offers others the benefit of the doubt, my soul feels wholly at peace and the rest of me follows ...)
As for now, the fun-loving portion of my spirit is propelling the rest o me to ready this old soul to go to Steven's house, armed with veggies, humus and skinny popcorn, where the self assertive portion of my voice plans to cheer, along side the men, for my very own choice of team ...
BTW ... Yesterday's quiet solitude turned into a playdate with a sweet natured, free spirited, little soul (whose adventures with socialization have barely begun) when Steven called, asking if I was free to enjoy several hours with Ravi, and I have no doubt that my son sensed a sparkling smile, shining forth from my pleasure center when his mother's strong-spirited voice conveyed a whole-hearted YES!
And each time I feel a mutually supportive sense of loving connectedness nourishing souls, all around, it stands to reason that all of me feels well-balanced, healthy, peaceful and well fed ...

1330 TIME SPENT IN MENTAL REPOSE IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
2016
Today is a quiet day
No plans with friends till this evening, and as you may recall
I've come to value my ability to balance time, well spent, in solitude
With time, well spent, enjoying treasured family and friends
As today is a quiet day
You might expect my storyteller to pen a post, pulsing with insight
But that's not to be, because, rather than feeling a sense of mindfulness
My mind feels need for restful repose
So why write, at all, when common sense suggests that
You couldn't possibly care to hear that a brain in need of refueling
Has nixed penning a post that I don't feel like writing though
Being too busy to write I am not
BTW ... Have you noticed that Post 1328 has been withdrawn?
One last riddle for today: If you were asked to describe the human soul
What might you think to say?
As always, comment box hungers to be fed ...

1329 LIFE PROVES BUSY AS SNOW BIRDS FLOCK IN WITH BUNDLES OF LOVE
2016
During recent months, I've become ultra busy with life (highlighting my good fortune of having been blessed with many people who have won my love), thus explaining why, recently, free time to write about the past has dwindled, most especially since a cornucopia of snow birds (winter visiters) continue to fly in, offering my spirit reason to sport a megawatt smile, buoyed with so much pleasure (and patience concerning writing) as to float, like a balloon, across the miles, connecting my heart with yours while time, which waits for no one, flies toward the future where, once again, the desert sun is sure to shine so hot as to send snow birds winging home, suggesting that time to pen posts, daily, will, again, be mine.
As for today, imagine my smile, sparkling brightly with gratitude over my good fortune to have consciously chosen to live my life in such a way as to connect heartfully with many people who embrace the art of loving generously, thus graciously (rather than defensively), and please know full well that once the pictorial of familial festivities, promised, appears on your screen, stories of raising my boys will follow, because the fact that I love those who presently people my daily life does not lessen my heart's desire to connect meaningfully, across the miles, with you ...

1327 SENSATIONS OF STORY-TELLING RUNNING THROUGH MY CONSCIOUS MIND, AT LAST ...
Just as we were excited, over the past year, to see each of Ravi's determined, sweet natured, step-by-step attempts to roll over, crawl, and stand, wobbly, on her own, now, we're excited to see our sweet munchkin's sparkling smile, toddling, unsteadily, toward us as though she's punch drunk with having achieved each next developmental delight. As for her adoring family, thoughts of countless moments, just like these, stretching into the future farther than the naked eye can see, widens our smiles as naturally as Ravi welcomes each next adventurous step that a child, who feels deeply loved, trusts herself to take into the great unknown as if the world is truly her oyster in which her intelligent curiosity is self assuredly bent toward creating pearl after pearl. And each time this adorable toddler toddles toward us, blue eyes shining, lips smiling, arms outstretched to be lifted into a hug, our hearts can't help but melt as sensations of love flood our conscious awareness with the warmth of pure joy.
While playing witness to Ravi's brand new love affair with life, Will and I have chosen to graciously welcome whatever our golden years have in store for us, and thus can we be seen consciously basking in the sun while drinking in the nectar of all the years that came before we'd felt blessed within the joyful embraces of three beloved grandkids, and while engaging in quiet moments of reflective reminiscence, we feel deeply gratified, knowing full well that good fortune has gifted our hearts, first with three sons, who have grown to be each other's closest friends, then we were blessed with two 'daughters' and a pair of little boys, all of whom we've come to cherish, and most recently, we've all been blessed with a little girl, whose ready smile wins hearts wherever she goes, and as all of us greet each new day, we've no doubt of this fact: Our cup runneth over and over with love so pure as to nourish our spirits, come what may ... and none of life's riches feels more enriching than that!
As I can't fathom penning even one more post, concerning hindsight, insight and foresight preceding simple plans of action, which create change for the better (and as, no doubt, you've been biting at the bit for my story teller to sit tall in the saddle), I sense my readiness (which could not be hurried) to gallop from wherever we'd left off straight toward a specific story, which showcases how little I knew at the age of twenty-seven about raising siblings, whose spirits had declared themselves to be unique individuals even before Barry and Steven (and later, David) had been born ...
So, right after I post a pictorial (as promised) showcasing our adult sons' creation of a bevy of holiday festivities, which delighted our whole family as 2015 wound down, I'll whisk you back to a time when 1970 was transitioning into 1971, where you'll find me very pregnant with Steven while Barry, who, at not-quite-two (and a big boy for his age) was in his PJ's, trying to figure out why his VERY OWN place to sit on HIS mommy's lap had disappeared. I mean, when we stop to think about it, it's no wonder that our beloved, first born child couldn't fathom how HIS seat of honor had transformed into a beach ball, sporting a belly button, for heaven sakes!

1326 APPREHENSIVE (CONVENTIONAL) ATTITUDES VS ADVENTUROUS (INTUITIVE) ATTITUDES
Can you differentiate between those times when conventional trains of thought, dictated by society, give rise to apprehensive attitudes, which stifle creative thinking vs those times when intuitive trains of thought free your decision-making process to muster the courage to venture ever more deeply into your psyche, where being true to your deepest sense of self means setting conventional apprehensiveness aside, thus freeing your intellect to tap into your unmet needs with attention to clarity, suggesting why your spirit feels compelled to set fear aside in favor of exposing the depths of your subconscious desires, which can no longer be hidden from ... your conscious mind ...
BTW: Do you know how apprehensive attitudes (which lurk, unknowingly within your subconscious) block your intuitive powers from communicating, clearly, with your conscious decision-making process?
Can you tell when intuitive trains of thought are directing your conscious mind to seek insight into deeper truths, which, upon calming anxiety, serve to transform apprehensive attitudes (which prove negatively focused) into positively focused attitudes (which ignite a courageous sense of adventure that energizes your desire to explore the great unknown, thus expanding your comfort zones so naturally that certain choices, which had nourished your sense of joy but seemed forbidden, beckon to be reconsidered ... again and again? And as one string of insights sparks the next, intuitive thought encourages inner conflict to relax, one infinitesimal step after another, until such time as readiness to achieve a leap of faith (suggesting you've developed the mind strength to take off the training wheels) is yours. And as your conscious awareness absorbs strings of insight, concerning the necessary blend-ship of emotion with logic, a negatively focused sense of cynicism transforms into positively focused trains of intuitive thought, which make good use of insight into deeper truths to which a defensive state of mind had kept your intelligence blind until the spirit of Socrates sensed your readiness to connect with a messenger, who felt as eager to whisper the sage's message ... KNOW THYSELF ... into your open ear as often as my friend, the sage, has whispered the same into mine.
And if you have been working to develop the mindful sense of patience necessary to calm your anxieties as personal growth directs you to carve an existential path, which will carry you forth as you carve your very own adventure more deeply into the great unknown .. at your own pace ... please imagine my smile, glowing, naturally, while the intuitive portion of my thought processor musters the patience to await until such time as you feel ready to reach out to hold my outstretched hand, so that, as the future unfolds, we can each approach gains in personal growth, peacefully, little by little, two steps forward, one back, because common sense suggests that two heads, working together, are better than one ...
Whereas apprehensive attitudes are based in conventional thought patterns, which narrow our comfort zones thus limiting our choices, intuitive trains of thought, which tap into insight into deeper truths, stimulate your sense of courage and mine to adventure forth in order to explore the great unknown, ever more wisely than had been possible when subconscious fear, being unidentified, threw your thought processor's control panel (and mine) out of whack more quickly and often than we had consciously known.
Whereas apprehensive attitudes fail to discriminate between a near and present danger vs subconscious arousal of yesteryear's failure, intuitive trains of thought tap into deeper truths, which remain constant, universal and timeless, suggestive of this next fact:
Intuitivectrains of thought trump the changing nature of conventional patterns of thought
Need examples?
Once upon a time ...
Conventional thought patterns had dictated no sex before marriage ... for women
Conventional thought patterns had dictated women act subservient to men
Conventional thought patterns had dictated children were to be seen but not heard
Conventional thought patterns had dictated parents knew best for all of their children
Conventional thought patterns had dictated pretend all is well when the opposite is true
Conventional thought patterns ignore subconscious fears fuzzying up our sense of choice
Conventional thought patterns limit choices and comfort zones
Conventional thought patterns oppose the unique needs of each individual
Conventional thought patterns create undeserved guilt, which undermines intelligence
Conventional thought patterns dismiss the existence of deeper truths
Conventional thought patterns, crashing into intuitive trains of thought, create
So much subconscious tension as to tie our sense of logic into
Such tight little knots of confusion that our smarts fail to wise up until unidentified
Defensive thinking patterns are exposed and straightened out
Shall I go on?
Conventional thought patterns, based in fear, create attitudes that deviate from common sense, so often, that I believe it makes more sense to call common sense uncommon sense, because ... attitudes, which prove to be a sign of the times, change as time marches on ... whereas intuitive thought patterns are naturally based in deeper truths, which prove classic, because they stand the test of time
So you can see why I work to figure out whether a decision, which felt right at one time, was based in fear or intuitive thought ...
Here's the bigger picture:
Though adventurous thought patterns, which invigorate changes in conventional thought, may ruffle my feathers, at first, eventually, that which seems unconventionally adventurous, today, may, one day come to feel so natural to me as to transform into conventional thought, as time marches on. In the absence of adventurous attitudes, women would still be wearing whale bone corsets, pinching our ability to breathe so painfully as to constrain our ... brains.
BTW: Bright and early this morning, intuitive thought led me to revise Post 1325, and the string of insights, added, may be more enlightening, concerning the absorption of deeper truth, than any I'd felt inspired to clarify before ... just saying ...

1325 A TECHNICOLORED OR BLACK AND WHITE LIFE
As I knew nothing about setting a high value on
Seeking to learn and make use of specific speaking and listening skills until
A friend invited me to participate in a group learning experience, which
Met by-monthly, I didn't know what I know, now, about
Consciously disciplining my intellllligence to gain control over
The varied functions of my brain
Thank goodness, I chose to learn speaking and listening skills when my
Eldest child, being two, had begun to adventure through
The natural stage of development whereby each child makes use of
His or her voice to verbally express an intuitive sense of independence ...
Loud and clear!
(Though Ravi is just beginning to mimic words, she has 'voiced' a personal sense of pleasure or displeasure since birth, demonstrating the fact that an intuitive sense of independence is innate)
It was not until decades later that I learned how
Subconscious (unidentified) fear creates inner conflict, which
Muddies up the most intelligent person's decision making process
Eventually, that fact stimulated the inquisitive nature of
My intuitive intelligence to strengthen my conscious awareness by
Tapping into insight into deeper truths, which serve to deepen
Thinking patterns that direct the parts of my brain to function as
A well organized whole, and with practice, my conscious awareness
Teamed up with intuitive thought in order to differentiate between
Conventional patterns of thought, which cause me to
Feel apprehensive vs those times intuitive thought is working to
Tap into insight into deeper truths in order to
Free my sense of adventure to venture courageously into
Territory, which subconscious (unidentified) fear had
Forbidden my spirit to explore, and *not until I'd learned to
Differentiate between apprehensive trains of thought and
Intuitive trains of thought did my decision-making process grow so
Independent of subconscious fear (left unresolved from the past) as to
Offer my conscious mind the clarity necessary to
Contemplate choices, which color my life with joy much more
Often, today, than had been possible when my box of rules had
Offered up nothing more than conventional choices, colored
Black or white, thus narrowing my comfort zone to
Feeling tied safely to the dock or
Cast forth upon stormy seas, tied up in such frightened knots of
Predetermined gloom and doom as to drown all hope of
Resolving inner conflict, because unidentified attitudes of
Fearful negativity prove so dark as to blind conscious awareness from
Tapping into intuitive thought, which, over time, couples up with
Creativity to construct a life raft upon which a divided mind can
Float until patience releases insight into deeper truths, which
Finese workable plans whereby hearts, torn adrift, can
Paddle toward a sunny shore where inner peace welcomes
Tired, dispirited minds home to relax and brighten, at last ...
This is not a fairytale, woven, for your entertainment
This is non fiction speaking from my smart heart to yours
I know this to be non fiction, because I've experienced
The reality of this true story, myself, multiple times ...
Since stats suggest that many of you return, everyday
I surmise that your interest in considering insights that
Inspire comfort zones to expand, naturally, thus
Engaging our conscious minds to create
Changes for the better, all around, remains strong
I plan to continue to offer my intuitive trains of thought
Free rein to edit published posts until insights
Pop out of my depths, which encourage my sense of
Conscious comprehension to take one step forward toward
Deepening my sense of clarity, which, over time
Has grown practiced at freeing my whole mind to
Achieve yet another heartfelt goal, which had remained
Just beyond my reach, and as you have mustered
The patience to stay close as my conscious mind dives
Toward deeper truths, I surmise that you remain hopeful that
This path may, one day, offer you a greater sense of inner peace, too
Though stats suggest that you are choosing to accompany me as
I continue to quest toward deepening my sense of clarity
The comment box remains unfed, which signals me to ask:
Are my posts actually furnishing insights that nourish
Your sense of clarity so that your awareness can sense
Your comfort zones expanding so naturally as to
Challenge your conscious mind to sit apprehensive attitudes
In time out so that you, too, can grow toward
Consciously embracing a technicolored life ... or is
Your personal sense of safety still feeling so doubtful as to
Hold fast to black vs white?
In short, I sure do wish you'd feed the comment box, thus
Letting me know whether your intuitive trains of thought have begun to
Filter insights, concerning your unidentified fears, through
Your wall of denial or not ...
Either way, I long to know why you choose to consider that which
I feel drawn to write, post, edit, post, edit ... Etc.
Seriously ... If you've not yet gained insight into naming certain
Unprocessed childhood fears, which have been haunting
Your sense of clarity, then your intelligence will continue to feel
Stuck in a rut made ever more muddied as
One layer of confusion spins its wheels upon the next ...
BTW: I wonder if you know how apprehensive attitudes, which
Lurk, unidentified within your subconscious, block
Your intuitive powers from communicating, clearly, with
Your brain's conscious decision-making process?
Hopefully, you're coming to see that your brain's multifunctional processes
Prove as complicated as computing higher mathematics ...
Though your surface reactions may seem as easy to understand as
1+1=2
Reality, concerning complex layers of
Unresolved emotional combustion, asks us to
Learn how two unknowns create a third as in
X+Y=Z
Need an example?
In the aftermath of Janet's death:
Explosive emotional confusion+Unprocessed fear =
My existential voice of clarity stuck in a rut where
Children had better be good ... Or else!
Hence:
X+Y=Z
Thus, in the aftermath of Janet's death did I remain
A good girl, whose unidentified apprehensive attitude concerning
My self worth, forbade me from asserting most of
My independent thoughts aloud until my fiftieth year, when
I walked freely into a classroom where my comatosed sense of
Womanhood was hotly awakened by an unexpected experience that
Ignited my intuition to set out on an existential quest to
Know my true adult self with a greater sense of accuracy than
Had been possible ever since certain portions of my
Natural development had been fearfully flash frozen during
Childhood, and as the spirit of Socrates is always on the look out for
Disciples, who demonstrate subconscious readiness to
Challenge themselves to understand, absorb and disperse
His two word message to each next generation
The sage conferred with Ghandi, who smiled and nodded yes
And from that time on, my mischievous but very cautious nature
Has given my mentor reason to swoop down from on high to
Challenge my intelligence to muddle my inquisitive way through
Painful layers of emotional confusion until, insight by insight
My growing sense of clarity gained the courage to step beyond
Subconscious apprehension, social proprieties and conventional
Comfort zones in order to expose and come to know
My deepest existential unmet needs so clearly as to
Encourage myself to take courageous leaps of faith past
My apprehensive attitudes, thus freeing my conscious mind to
Knock on the door in the wall, behind which dwells intuitive thought ...
And over time, as my confidence in intuitive thought, creativity and
Self control grew so strong as to guide my path forward, differently than
Ever before, I found my positively focused thought patterns
Enriching my life by coloring my attitudes with
So much positivity as to brighten my daily life with so much hope
As to entice on lookers to feel freely inclined to wish to
Offer their spirits reason to sparkle with joy, day after
Day, as well, and as one success leads to the next
My consciously conceived, patiently hopeful attitudes
Continue to inspire my sense of intuition to glide toward
Spotlighting insights, which serve to better lives, all around, by
'Being the change I hope for the world', and since I know that
We each harbor a wall of denial that blocks our sense of
Clarity from seeing the person, whom we've each actually
Grown to be, the friend-writer-teacher in me chooses to expose
My insight-driven, step by step approach to attaining
Personal growth by enticing you to review each
Published post that intuition prods me to edit, again and again ...
And since the next play-off game is about to commence, it's
Time to relax my think tank, so 'nough said for today ...

1324 CHALK IT UP TO INTUITIVE THOUGHT PERCOLATING, OVER NIGHT ... ...
Yup ... Intuition is still calling the shots:
As one string of insights leads to the next
Intuitive trains of thought continue to
Percolate deep within my mind, and thus has
Post 1323 been enriched, yet again
Here I am, feeling hopeful that
Your conscious mind will choose to wake up, smell the coffee and
Absorb additional strings of insight into deeper truth as did mine

1323 HERE'S WHAT I DID NOT KNOW WHILE TEACHING COMMUNICATIONS
While teaching family communications at the college
I knew about speaking and listening skills
I knew about deepening objective reflection
I knew about hindsight, opening my eyes to insight, which taps into foresight
I knew about misguided goals of misbehavior
I knew about resolving complex problems by conjuring up simple plans of action, which offered peace of mind by resolving conflicts in such a peaceable manner as to have considered everyone's needs.
What I did not consciously know was how, over time, the skill set, listed above, began to blend, offering the contradictive parts of my brain countless opportunities to interact as a well-balanced whole ... Like an automobile that needs an accelerator and steering wheel to get you where you want to go, and brakes and airbags for safety sake ... However you don't want subconscious fears to control the breaks any more than you want the airbag to employ unless you are actually in danger of losing your life.
You see, all those years ago ...
I knew very little about intuitive thought
I knew very little about deeper truth preceding foresight
I knew very little about subconscious fear blinding my conscious mind to logical thought
I knew very little about subconscious fear engaging with denial's defense mechanisms
I knew very little about intuitive thought tapping into insight, which precedes foresight
I knew very little about tunneling intuitively so as to identify subconscious fear
I knew very little about how often inner conflict led to self defeat

In order to know what I didn't know but needed to know, I had to seek help to consciously identify closed mindsets, which were in need of a gentle friend, who encouraged my brain to turn into a sponge, thirsty to soak up new information, which coaxed my think tank to uncover subconscious mindsets, which (having been based in fear of emotional abandonment, carried forth, unknowingly, since childhood) limited my choices by focusing my attention solely on safety, and here's why closed mindsets, which focus solely on safety are in need of change for the better : As long as subconscious fears festered behind layers of denial, my intelligence remained blocked from knowing how to free my innermost self to communicate with my conscious self. And if I could not communicate clearly with myself, I could not be true to myself. And if I could not be true to myself, how could I be true to anyone else? And not until I could tap into intuition, which offered me insight, which brightened my closed mindset to see the truth, concerning fears I'd denied as my own, could my intelligence begin to resolve inner conflict, thus allowing all of me to move forward with a plan of action that had considered this fact: My loved ones needs do not necessarily match mine. And if I have needs, which differ from the needs of a loved one then denying the existence of my unmet needs is not as smart as I'd originally believed.
Though I knew that emotion and logic were opposites, I had no clue that rather than clashing, they had need to blend (as if seasoning my decision-making process with salt and pepper, spiciness and a sweetened sense of self control) in order to flavor my life with the kind of love that runs so deep as to direct my unmet needs to unearth the main root of an apprehensive attitude, based in undeserved guilt (which your subconscious may still be carrying forward), ever since an adult made me feel unworthy of love when I was a child.
While teaching others about loving less defensively, I did not know that subconsciously, I did not feel worthy of love since Janet's death had shrouded my parents' spirits in grief so dark as to have depressed their emotional attentiveness to me.
While teaching others, I did not know the importance of pinpointing undeserved guilt, lurking darkly within my subconscious, which created apprehensive attitudes that narrowed my comfort zone, limited my choices and silenced the assertive portion of my voice, thus making me appear to be more agreeable than I'd felt, deep inside, behind my cheerful smile. Over time, that unprocessed pattern of apprehensive behavior saw me develop into a pleaser extraordinaire ...
While raising my kids, life was so hectic that little time felt free for mental contemplation, so reflection suggests that I was fortunate to have made time to learn, practice and make good use of speaking and listening skills, early in my adult life.
Thank goodness, during recent decades, intuitive intelligence felt compelled to seek out knowledgable leaders who continue to inspire me to keep my eye on the ball by retraining my brain patterns to focus more deeply on self awareness (rather than self-consciousness) with such a sense of assertive steadiness as to ready my think tank to respond rationally when someone pitches me an explosive reaction, which in years past, would have blown my sense of safety and logic to kingdom come.
Thank goodness, bigger pictures clarify for me more quickly, today, because my conscious mind has become well practiced at concentrating on details while others are reacting like chickens without heads ... How is this possible? Well ... Thank goodness my Line of Control has teamed up with listening so intently as to insure that upon responding to emotional outbursts, clarity is mine, suggesting that when it's my turn to speak, my sense of logic, self trust and mutual respect remain so on target as to place a reactive state of defensive dizziness in time out while I'm listening to another person's defensive rants, and thus, when it's my turn to open my mouth, the truth of my words are able to calm another person's reactiveness by reciting facts or memories or insightful awarenesses that my opponent may have forgotten in the heat of the moment or, perhaps, had never thought to consider ...
Just as few batters master the feat of hitting a 90 mile an hour pitch out of the ball park, the same is true of consciously steadying my emotional reactiveness by training my brain to focus on logic when an emotional tornado might otherwise smash my sense of self respectful composure to bits.
Today, my attentiveness to personal growth (which develops in infinitesimal steps) continues to train each portion of my brain to work together in similar fashion to a positively focused, well-seasoned team of high spirited, self confident players, who, over time, have come to trust each other's unique skills to grow ever more precise at pitching, hitting and fielding as each feels self empowered to grow ever more mindful of the step by step process that creates change for the better, on a daily basis. And just like The Babe, my comfort zone, concerning attentiveness, continues to focus my intelligence and sense of mutual respect on benching my apprehensive attitudes so that no matter how lightening quick or back handed the pitch, my practiced sense of readiness to respond with love and common sense intact offers me the courage to keep my eye trained on swinging for the fences regardless of what I may receive in return. So hopefully, with that example in mind, you can see why balancing love (emotion) with common sense (logic) has, over time, become second nature to me.
Aha! Insight has just spotlighted the reason why my storyteller has not shown up for quite a while: During these past couple of years, my intelligence felt challenged to focus upon assembling puzzling pieces in order to showcase thought processes that empower my conscious awareness to tap into intuitive thought, where insight, based in hindsight, offers me the foresight to make well balanced decisions, by blending emotion with logic in such a positively focused manner as to tap into creativity, which partners with intelligence to create plans of action that make such good use of common sense as to encourage my spirit to muster the courage to identify closed mind sets that have remained stuck in negatively focused ruts of my own making due to the fact that mental complexity, emotional confusion and growing apprehension had exacerbated my sense of inner conflict to such an extent that fear blocked my view of choices that would offer my spirit the gift of freedom to meet my existential (highly personal) needs without stepping on anyone's toes ...
BTW ... if you think my brain is functioning with crystal clear clarity, right now, please think again, because a raw state of intuitive thought has taken over my think tank, suggesting that the greater part of the last two paragraphs of this post have been writing themselves, pointing to the fact that clarity will not be mine till the conscious portion of my mind has been consulted, so here is the only thought that I feel certain of at this moment in time: Editing will most likely prove necessary before clarity can be more thoroughly absorbed. However, my comfort zone is ok with today's sense of confusion, because I know that the strength of my connection to personal growth will motivate my think tank to continue to process these thoughts, more thoroughly, over night.
As my powers of patience continue to strengthen, day by day, my intelligence feels challenged to simplify mental complexity, which is why I do not fluster as easily as had once been true of my reactiveness, because my self confidence, based in past success, feels capable of working through mental confusion (without defensiveness running interference) until a plan, blending hindsight, insight and foresight, arises within my mind so naturally that suddenly my conscious mind sees its way clear to satisfying an unmet need, if not today, then sometime later, as change for the better continues to unfold. And having trained my brain to maintain a positively focused sense of patience, so that creative thinking does not tense up, my eye remains on the ball at those times when a heartfelt goal, which nourishes my spirit's need to thrive, remains beyond my reach.
Though personal growth extends my reach toward attaining certain goals, other goals require a team effort, And when that proves true, we say ... two heads are better than one.
And with that insight into deeper truth flying freely at the top of my flagpole, watch my brain consciously switch from intuitive thought to relaxing as a whole while I consciously slip my toes into my lucky socks, because it's time to ready myself to go to the game ... (If you've not yet seen CONCUSSION, this film is worth your time, most especially if your kids are intent on playing football. Upon leaving the theater after viewing the film with Barry, my eldest son, who captained his high school team, said he had been convinced not to let Tony and Ray play Pop Warner. And being that all three of my sons are football fanatics, as is their father, that's saying a lot about knowledge signaling intelligence to open a closed mindset on the spot!)

1322 INTUITIVE THOUGHTS STILL POURING OUT ...
Over these past two days
Inclusive of this morning
Intuitive thought has continued to
Compel my conscious mind to
Work at improving post 1321 ...
Highlighting this fact:
In order to simplify mental complexity, it's not uncommon for
My contemplative powers to compel me to take
Two steps back to reflect more deeply upon
Strings of insights already absorbed, thus
Stimulating my spirit's sense of self trust to feel ready to take
Each next cautious step forward into the great unknown ... And
As that back and forth process frees my sense of self empowered
Personal growth to lessen apprehensive tension, an ever deepening
Sense of inner strength encourages my connection to courage to
Experience life as a series of experiments, each of which
Has blessed my path with immeasurable sensations of
Success, suggesting why, day after day
I choose to muster the patience and self control, which
Empowers this positively focused, step by step process to direct the
Evolution of my life's path toward expanding my sense of choices
Rather than allowing apprehension to veer my mind toward a path where
Denial of my deepest unmet needs drugs my conscious mind to believe
That I'm doing just fine until, one day, hindsight taps into insight, which

Naturally as to ultimately free our think tanks to
Catch each next string of insights, like fireflies in a jar, thus
Brightening our minds to create simple plans of action, which
Resolve conflicts that no longer feel too complex to fathom
And once peace of mind (concerning undeserved guilt) is identified
Our spirits have sound reason to relax, hold hands and leap for joy, at last
