TOO LITTLE MENTAL ENERGY RECOUPED TO PEN ANYTHING OF SIGNIFICANCE

Awoke, this morning, brain still
Tired to the bone, signaling need of
More time to recover energy expended
While deflecting four days worth of
Deeply penetrating over-stimulation, so
After slipping an insight-driven riddle
(Concerning the importance of details) into
Yesterday’s post, my power of intuition
Stuck a ‘Gone Fishing’ sign on my forehead
Cueing the intelligent portion of my brain to
Close up shop as of right now—Ohhmmm ...

FROM TORRID HEAT TO OCEAN BREEZES AND BACK TO EGGS SIZZLING ON SIDEWALKS IN A FLASH

Over these past four days, I’ve been frolicking with Tony and Ray on the West coast where our family gathered in celebration of Ray’s seventh birthday, leaving little time to pen anything more than insights, which, having flashed through my mind at the airport, last night, served to enhance the post published on Thursday, July 26th.  And as our return flight was delayed, we arrived home, bone tired, at midnight, suggesting why, upon awakening this morning (after doing my best to keep up with our fully-charged grandsons), all I see myself doing, today, is unpacking followed by relaxing ...

Our seven-year old birthday boy stands hatless with his buds while

Eight year old brother, Tony, in white socks, ‘hatches’ from an egg

(Can you find a significant detail, which, if missed, may lead

Your imaginative mind to misjudge some aspect of Ray’s physiology?)

 Looks like Ray retrieved his hat

By Sunday evening, we had just enough energy left to tickle each other's smiles

WITHIN THE INNER SANCTUM OF EVERY HUMAN BRAIN DWELLS A DRAGON-SLAYING SWORD

So why do I write so much about the human quest for inner peace ( referencing the kind hearted person I consciously groom myself to become) as well as about peace of mind (referencing my personal reaction to life’s unpredictable hardships, most especially when certain hardships, which must be borne, prove to be indiscriminately unfair)?

Well, the truth of the matter is that everyone I know is looking for peace or blaming other people for its absence or unconsciously lugging around anxious sensations of undeserved guilt, repressed so deeply during childhood that we remain unaware of how often intuition whispers of our need to consciously release (re-live) the same depth of terror that had been experienced during childhood until we have worked to replace every trace of our defense system’s false mask of I-don’t-care with an ever deepening attitude of emotionally matured self confidence that naturally empowers our intelligence to place our defense systems in time out so as to open the door to the inner sanctum of our brains where ghostlike details of childhood’s scariest memories, sequestered from conscious awareness, are released, because once these details have lost their power to haunt our minds, we’ve mastered the courage to dismantle our own walls of denial, behind which lurk a line up of personal demons, each of which had taken terrified the inexperienced minds of the children we once were into submission to tyranny, and the subconsciously repressed existence of that self destructive state of mind will attack your present sense of self-reliant personal safety (and mine) whenever any portion of a new situation feels even remotely similar to the original experience so as to stimulate latent anxiety, born of unresolved (undeserved) guilt, to arise, anew, repeatedly, until your intelligence has had sound reason to experience a series of emotional growth spurts, each of which strengthens your mental awareness and mine of personal need to deepen the on-going development of an attitude of self-empowerment necessary to conquer the re-emergence of every fiery dragon that represents a subconscious fear (perhaps of a personal imperfection) in need of being identified and disempowered as our personal quest to restore a lost sense of peace continues to courageously slay the fiery nature of each self-conceived misperception from burning the intelligent portion of our brains to a crisp—repeatedly—and once your intuitive quest to embrace a positively focused, peaceful existence gets consciously underway, that’s when your path will be strewn with strings of interrelated insights flashing intuitively through your mind, spotlighting deeper truths so powerful as to shrink each of your personally exaggerated imperfections down in size, offering your ego’s self-defeating misperceptions, which distort your view of reality, the clarity necessary to have fearlessly stared down that whole gaggle of energy sucking, fire breathing dragons until your newly stoked, realistic version of yourself as a whole rises up with scythe in hand to sweep across the expanse of your negatively focused exaggerations of personal flaws, freeing your intuitive intelligence to more deeply absorb the importance of seeking insight into universal truths, which prove naturally empowered to win debates that are bound to arise each time your dark side’s anxiously imaginative, defensively exaggerated, personal misperception of not measuring up to self-imposed standards of impossible perfection (which, left to their own devices, do nothing more than stimulate inner conflicts to escalate inner tension) to slip out, and hopefully, with today’s summary of insights stimulating your intelligence to awaken and smell the coffee before need for self-liberation brews so long as to taste too bitter to enjoy, you, too, may become aware of how often your closed minded attitude stands guard before the door of your think tank’s inner sanctum Behind which your intuitive need to embrace attitudinal changes for the better awaits readiness to release strings of interrelated insights that will free the conscious portion of your mind to absorb deeper truths empowered to relax your tightly wired layers of intelligence, little by little, until your deeply inflamed sense of latent anxiety is disempowered from encircling a heartfelt desire, which will continue to feel entrapped within the dense smoky fog of hell’s eternal damnation until your think tank’s conscious absorption of insight-driven intuitive trains of thought offer self-defeating spikes of undeserved guilt reason to calm down and grow ever less conflicted, more open minded as you come to grant yourself absolution from deeply repressed guilt, over time.  And having worked to assemble words in such a manner as to summarize my thought processor’s need to focus upon the existential absorption of insight-driven intuitive trains of thoughts in hopes of inspiring my innate intelligence to digest bite-sized morsels of wisdom, here’s why I’m not about to ask you to send money to support a TV ministry that promises to save your soul from burning in the fires of eternal self condemnation:

If there’s one insight that my intelligence has clearly absorbed, through and through, it is this—The only soul that I can work to save from re-experiencing undeserved, guilt-ridden pain is my own, and as the same is true for each of you, I propose that we create a grassroots movement led by those who choose to dedicate their lives to educating children throughout the world to develop the insight to grow toward becoming ever more self aware of everyone’s intuitive voice heeding every unique individual of his/her personal need to muster the patience necessary to gain the clarity to be true to their heartfelt unmet needs rather than blindly (defensively, fearfully) herding blindly together or, even worse, becoming so offensively self absorbed as to free the ego to impatiently grab at whatever is coveted, right now ... and though my active mind could go on and on, intuitive thought has just flashed this insight through my conscious awareness so as to brighten (and lighten) the serious nature of my current state of mind:  I’ve already over-stated today’s main point concerning the fact that achieving success as we quest, step by step, toward deepening inner peace and peace of mind depends upon growing ever more deeply aware of need to slay personal dragons secreted within the dark side of our minds, one at a time, and speaking personally, that last insight for today brings us full circle in terms of my hope to have tantalized your inquisitive nature to tune into and seriously consider the most recent morsel of knowledge that I’d felt startled to acknowledge concerning another personal demon that my defense system had sequestered from the conscious portion of my brain behind my wall of denial until my natural sense of readiness, which serves as my dragon-slaying sword, emerged encased within an armored suit of courage, during my most recent session of EMDR therapy—Hhhmmm

PS

If you're a Star Wars fan then your dragon-slaying sword may be
Seen as a light saber, igniting your soulful intelligence to
Feel so bold as to conjure up simple insight-driven
Plans of action that, with patience intact, will serve to
Defeat the dark side of human nature from weighing so
Heavy on your strength of spirit as to weaken your
Courageous nature from freely achieving and thoroughly
Enjoying heartfelt desires that are realistically within reach

Ohhmmm

2018—OUCH!

Just a note to say that insights were added to the previous post
And as a toothache sees me on my way to the dentist that’s all for today
Except for this—
Yesterday, during a humbling session of EMDR, my intuitive powers
Directing my defense system to step aside, opened the door to
The inner sanctum of my brain as though to welcome
The most courageous portion of my conscious awareness to
Roam ever more deeply into my dark side where scary secrets that
I keep from myself remain hidden until my luminous sixth sense of
Readiness turns on the flashlight of insight, which in this case
Spotlighted a more detailed account of the primary reason why
‘A tranquil creature I am not’—at least, not yet
O   Hmmm ...

2018—RELISHING THE FLEETING NATURE OF TRANQUILITY

Though the scenario (seen directly below) concerning my active mind was posted sometime in the past, intuition deems it worth replicating, right about now, so here goes—

If, after blindfolding me, plugging my ears and taping my mouth, someone tied my hands behind my back and my ankles together before picking me up, placing me on the floor in the darkest corner of a tiny, sound proof, empty closet and left me there, all alone, behind a firmly locked door for two weeks before the person returned to unlock the door, turn on the light and remove the tape covering my lips, the first words out of my mouth would be:  I’ll be done in a jiffy.

In short, imagination conjured up that scene with
Tongue in cheek as if to illustrate why I’ve chosen to concur with
Will’s perceptive assessment concerning the FLEETING (rather than
Frequent) nature of my tranquil state of mind, and as today’s post
Reflects the re-emergence of my sense of humor, we can see that
My brain’s recent state of exhaustion has re-energized enough to
Clown around about my soulful yearning to view myself as
A tranquil creature when a clear shot of reality, spotlighting
My active mind, suggests otherwise, and the reason
I laughed aloud at Will’s astute assessment of
My mind’s natural state of hyper-vigilance is
Based in two facts concerning human nature:
Common knowledge suggests we laugh at the truth
And each time we consciously sit our egos in time out
Our defense systems relax, freeing the humble side of
Our brains to enjoy a good laugh even when it’s at our own expense ...

PS
 If you ask how I know that my perception concerning
My ability to eat humble pie, good naturedly, is
Clearly grounded in reality, I’d liken the last few posts
Published to a series of snapshots, captured by
The well focused lens of a camera, which offers us
A clear sighted view of specific moments in time just as is
True of the snapshot below, which illustrates a love shared by
Two people that feels so naturally connective to both as to
Relax defensive attitudes in favor of readily brainstorming toward
Resolving conflicts, which are bound to arise between the mind of
A child and the mind of an adult—and if you ask why that situation
Has become the norm when differences arise between Ravi and me
I'd reply:  My three year old grand daughter feels well-respected, because
Our conversations are directed by a role model whose voice is
Well versed in positively focused, kind spirited, solution-seeking
Negotiations, and as children learn by mimicking voice tones (indicative of
Attitudes that employ patience or impatience), Ravi and I have spent
These past three and a half years 'working' toward developing
A mutually blessed spirit of negotiation that enriches both minds with
Deeply tranquil sensations of heartfelt interconnectedness that’s
Empowered to calm outbursts of defensive emotionality before
Negatively focused attitudes have a chance of arising on either side ...
In short, whenever I feel need to say no, my playmate (and disciple)
Feels free to look me squarely in the eye while she, emulating my
Good natured attitude concerning her request, can be heard
Respectfully making good use of her adorable (existential)
Voice, as she parrots my words, which she has absorbed
Countless times, as in:  Gramma, I have a plan ... and upon hearing
Those words flowing naturally from within a three year old think tank
My eyes smile with pleasure while my generosity of spirit feels
Naturally sparked to listen patiently to whatever simple plan
My smart=hearted grand daughter’s active imagination is about
Conjure up, and once she’s had her say and it’s her turn to
Await my reply, we both ‘sense’ that another positively focused
Negotiation toward a win-win result is in the works—Ohhmmm

Below we see a snapshot of the afterglow of a negotiation in which
A child's request for a cookie before dinner bowed cooperatively to
Popcorn’s win  (If you're hoping for an example concerning
 Maintaining a good natured, mutually respectful attitude of
Cooperation while negotiating toward a win-win with small fry, who are
Angry, sad, tired, hungry, disappointed or sick, please tune in
Sometime later; as for now my processor needs to coast into a peaceful rest station

2018—FLEETING MOMENTS OF TRANQUILITY FOCUS ON A LITTLE PIECE OF HEAVEN ON EARTH

This video spotlights a glimpse of two people, whose love for each other runs so deep as to crave a few moments of shared tranquility while generosity of spirit naturally considers the desires of a third loved one, who has remained at home ...

2018—PATIENTLY AWAITING THE TRANSIENT NATURE OF TRANQUILITY

If you'd like to ask:  Why a new post had not been penned yesterday
I’d reply:  The intuitive nature of my last post tunneled so
Deep within the inner sanctum of my mind as to have reconnected
My conscious awareness with reality; however, after reading
What I'd written, I became aware of the fact that
My processor, still wearied from worrying over Will's health for
The past four weeks, had failed to string the complex nature of
Those insights together with clarity intact suggesting why
My power of intuition guided my sense of readiness away from
Rewording that post until my processor, feeling fully recharged, received
Intuition's OK to dive back into the deep end of my mind, today

PS
I just booked a massage so as to relax muscles, which have
Had sound reason to tense up as tightly as has been
True of my gray matter, over these past four weeks—
Ohhmmm ...
