|
tonight..
learning about living forever..and a term that interested me "Omega Point"
This theory was developed by a French Jesuit which postulates that the omega point which in his view caused the universe to grow in complexity and consciousness..it is part of a bigger theory which in a nut shell proposes that the universe will never throw anything away and it will eventually recycle us in a somewhat revised consciousness (you can call that whatever you want) ..this is something I've always believed and hearing it approached in this way blew my mind.. |
I was going to be a smartass and say 'not a damn thing' but then I realized I did learn something today.
I learned that Alberta, Canada is having a problem with rampant bunnies. Some will be trapped but the rest will be euthanized and that makes me sad. They're going to kill Thumper! :bigcry: |
I learnt about Eros - The Being of Love
I learnt that Eros is a really complicated Greek Being. I learnt more about Love, Complete Love, not just carnal Love that I ever thought I would.
I learnt that I cannot always pick a Being to work with, nope this time Eros tapped me on the shoulder and said - Sit down I got a tale for you - So, if you are encountering a Primordial Being - sit down, hush, follow the lead, and figure it out. Primordial – generally when we think of that word, most of us follow it with ooze. Well, I beg of you not to think of ooze when I mention Primordial. The word "parthenogenesis" comes from the Greek parthenos, meaning "virgin", and genesis, meaning "birth". Hesiod, Aristophanes and the Orphica are the oldest written references to Eros. It is difficult to find even glimpses of the Primordial Beings because written history came so long after our ancestors who told stories about them. ristophanes, Birds 685 ff (trans. O'Neill) (Greek comedy C5th to 4th B.C.) : "At the beginning there was only Khaos (Air), Nyx (Night), dark Erebos (Darkness), and deep Tartaros (Lower World) Firstly, black-winged Nyx (Night) laid a germless egg in the bosom of the infinite deeps of Erebos (Darkness), and from this, after the revolution of long ages, sprang the graceful Eros with his glittering golden wings, swift as the whirlwinds of the tempest. He mated [or fertilised] in deep Tartaros with dark Khaos (Air), winged like himself, and thus hatched forth our race, which was the first to see the light. That of the Immortals did not exist until Eros had brought together all the ingredients of the world… Thus our origin is very much older than that of the dwellers in Olympos. We are the offspring of Eros; there are a thousand proofs to show it. " Now I want to stop and tell you that Eros was a two faced Being. Orphica, Argonautica 6TH Cen “ two-sexed, two-faced, glorious Eros”. Eros is portrayed as a beautiful golden-winged hermaphroditic deity wrapped in a serpent's coils. When we reconsider what Aristophanes said “He mated in deep Tartaros (the lower world) with dark Khaos (Air), winged like himself, and thus hatched forth our race”... Of course Eros could - Hermaphroditic Beings can. Our Beginnings do come from Union. Not separation. Anyway... :canadian: |

This is from personal use and interaction with marijuana.
I used to be so against any and all kinds of drugs when I was growing up, that's what I was taught. But when my PTSD flared up, I looked to pot to sooth my anger and depression. Come to find out, it works for me! It makes me very mellow and occasionally I'll laugh, but generally just very laid back. Because of this, I think marijuana should now be legalized in all 50 states, and not for just glaucoma either! How do I suggest the government get their grubby little fingers in the pie? Farmers could grow it, subsidized by the government, sell it to smoke shops who then sell it highly taxed to the public. SURELY I'm not the only person in America to think of this! One thing I have learned is that I'm awful truthful when I'm high on pot :p |

I have learned people dont get over childhood traumas. they more or less grow up around them and function the best they can once out of harm's way I have learned that no matter how many times you play with the jack in the box, you will still jump when he pops out I have learned not to make appts in my planner in ink |

learned..
all kinds of love (in this world) but you have to love yourself first otherwise you risk loving things that can't love you back (the way you deserve to be)
|
learned (the hard way)
when there is a disagreement, its better to just shut the f*** up and be thought a fool then to open your mouth and remove all doubt
|
learned..
lying to yourself is the worse kind of lie
|
Miss Tia, your dog may be allergic to raw carrots. i am lol ... seriously.
they make my ears itch LOL. crazy itching! kitty, my momma always says, what's worse than doing wrong, ... to know it's wrong and still do it. a little on the same line as lying to yourself. i've learned that the space between the stars can be mine if i work hard enough to get there. and if i don't, i'll forget there's space to be had in a universe that holds more than one kind of heaven. |
learned (the hard way)
what is a true friend? Plenty of people think they have tons of people who truly love them and will stand by them..if they do they are blessed..to me a true friend is someone who's knows you inside and out and still loves you no matter what..who will face death with you and count themselves lucky to have been a part of your life..i haven't been lucky like that yet, every "friend" i've ever had has in one way or another betrayed me (this maybe karma) but I digress. I let very few people in my life close to me, but if I consider you a friend, yes i will face death with you and if i have to give up mine to save yours..that's friendship (at least the only kind that counts)

|
No matter what or how long...I've learned to never tell anyone where I keep my buried treasure:pirate-steer:.
|
I have learned that what I want isn't necessarily what I need.
I have learned that in order to receive anything (love, tolerance, patience, acceptance) I have to give it as well. |
I've learned that it's a lot easier to ride the horse in the direction it's going.

I have learned that I have the will to say no.
That it is healthy to take a break. That I dislike being smothered and feel suffocated. That I love myself too much to settle. And that I never stop learning. |
WIHL...no matter how old my kids get..no matter how successful they are in their jobs and lives they will always need/want my guidance and help. And no matter what I will always be there for them. A mothers/grandmothers unconditional love.

I've learned nothing is set in stone and changes do occur. We must learn to roll with it no matter how bumpy it gets.
I also learned I do have true friends for which I am very lucky. |
I've learned that honoring my need for quiet alone time makes me a better human when I do interact with others.

I am putting this out there in all honesty... I have learned I will make some dumb/impulsive/seemed like a very good idea at the time mistakes and I may just have to limit to which areas of my life I make them. Right now I am pondering if.... maybe just maybe I could limit them to errors in judgement to involving sex. With safer sex practices in mind, I maybe I can afford to be a bit loosey goosey. I'd rather make better choices financially, at work, with my parenting and health. Save the stupid shit for sex.
I am just saying... |
when i put my mind to something... i do it. i have failed at many attempts in my life... however, when i dust myself off i take another look at things from a different perspective.
i have 3 goals for 2012, #1 is passing the exam to earn my personal training certificate. i am confident with my studies; i know i need to step it up; do some online testing; then some hands on practicals. i Can and will do this! |
i have learned that expectations are premeditated resentments.. and that when i can keep myself from getting wrapped up in them, i am MUCH muchier happier. :)

i have learned it's a really bad idea to look at clothes when i'm sposed to be shopping for shoes. :|

I just wished aloud for a shroud (out of some mock desire for a little privacy which I don't really need) and E, while building me a gorgeous bookcase asks, 'a Shroud of Turin?'

What I learned (this week)....not to leave a box of mini cheesecakes in the house when mom is visiting....she knows they are loaded with a bunch of stuff that makes her very sick....but half the box is gone anyway. And I learned not to automatically think the car might be beyond fixing when it took less than $4.00 to solve.... I learned to be humble ... :

lessons......
As a culture we mark the New Year as a chance for new beginnings. We do this once a year, and it's important to see that opportunity and grasp it. But in reality we have that opportunity every day, every moment, and with each breath we take. The chance to recreate our lives, and make life more beautiful and true to ourselves. I had to get slapped really hard to get this one. Maybe, someday, I will be able to say thank you. For now, breathe and recreate is the best I can do........

things i have learned....
you cant ignore that little voice you cant compromise who you are. that i need to widen my circle of friends that i am better off than a lot of other people--meaning i am lucky to have food,shelter,and people who love and care about me. some things/people just cant change no matter how hard you try or will them to. |
A couple random things that have had the most positive ripples...
To move to the beat of my own heart, to be as forgiving of myself as I would for another, that unlearning is as important as learning...
|
To take chances. That was a real hard one for me to do.
Also who to listen to.....listen to your heart and feel with your brain. Not the opposite. If your brain is saying naw, while your heart is saying yeah, don't go there. Or reversed, if your brain is saying, yeah it fits but the heart is saying no: Don't go there. They have to be agreeable and in agreement and talking to each other. Not a 50/50 thing either. A 110%/110% thing. Oh and i learned how to balance on one foot and hold my other foot up to tie my shoe. I may start leaning over a little, by the end of the "tieing", but i can now make it to the final bow. I've always wanted to learn that. |
