Adult stem cells are now getting available, they will wipe out most needs for organ donors in the near future. they have full functioning comptuer's for people that can't talk..I know I've seen them first hand...they put them onto the person's brain and it picks up their thoughts, and speaks them out loud on an computer, I know an High School graduate, has never talked, never walked...that's used one of these machines most her life....they have arm and leg transplants these days also with comptuers that can function for what's missing...they have wheel chairs that can walk stairways now also...automiles for migets that function the car off the sterring wheel. Having been in nursing and around it, I can probably get you into contact with the help, if you have the money...and that's the biggest drawback to medical care. But just the same,there was an gal on "Good Morning America" whom with one of these machines helped her handicapped son write an book on his feelings about his total inabilty to look like much more then an vegetable daily. With the sales of his book he made more money then most of us will in an daily 30 year job during our lifetimes. You know what it takes, it takes people that don't feel half as sorry as they do "fired up" to find ways these people can help themselves. You know what I did for my sister in-law's grand-daughter one time like this..as she listened to another person saying how she felt so sorry for "the poor child" in her condtion..as we listened to her ranting on, I was minicking her, "silently" wiping my eyes, acting like I was playing an violin in sad music, raising my hand to my head looking forlorn...sticking my nose bravely into the air when they talked about her "bravery"...I mean this is one little gal in an wheelchair laughing her guts out at watching me doing it also..she knew..she might have an handicap, but it was other people that kept her down in doing things...her rmind was "normal" even if her body wasn't. And so in came this caring person and says..Well, your sure in an fine mood these days"..to her and I smiled sweetly an winked*. I had plans to build onto my back patio room and make it into an bedroom..and so it was, I asked if they could take her to my brother in-law's house until we could do that...and I did feel bad then, as she "cried" not wanting to leave my house..I would still like to be able to do this someday...but my own grandkids came along and needed help also..they are not completely financed through the state like she is for "care". They are "normal" so if they need help, most the time they get told.."do it yourself" in ways and no one deels sorry for them, if they achieve there's some one their to try to take it from them...competeting on whose the more worthier most the time. Society needs compassion where its warranted. But more then anything, it needs decent training and medical help otherwise. |
Posts: Joined: 1st Jan 1970 | what I learned yesterday...there are seven steps to learning the ways to fullfillment..ways of the wizzard.meaning both spirtually and as an personality trait/path....throughout your life....briefly....(1) innocence..like an newborn baby where by your trusting, dependent, loving and non-questioning...(2) Birth of the Ego..where by you learn opposites, harm ,pain and that there is an "I" that exists..which gives rise to the need of aceptance in the world also by others, (3.) Birth of the achiever...with your ego, you learn to "roam" the world,it is what gives you confidence and individuality by the things you learn to do. Where ever one is present, the other(ego) will be present thoughout your lifeime.(4) the Giver...where you learn there's happiness in not just the taking, but the giving also, most the time it's your adult aspect in full glory, but it starts young also, giving is creativity...from this process you find "God". (5) Birth of the seeker..this is when you understand there's something more in this world then just the material..you seek God and all the answers you thought you knew and didn't..where did I come from..spiritually?..etc. This realization only comes after you surender your ego's need to control, predict, and defend others or yourself.(6)...Birth of the Seer....It spells the death of the ego..an outward identification. This is when you understand that everything is "spirit"with in the world and all else in the past is but an self-image you made..you look to the "being" that is God...that which is in all life itself. (7) Spirit..much like innocence as the baby you attain innocence...through knowledge this time, looking to God upon whom you are dependent..you see your body as something beyond life an death, you have come by way of God to knowing your spiritual side and the immorailty of the soul..this is where you find pure spirit and there is fullfillment and happiness beyond to expand upon as an"oness" with God. Spirit is born of pure silence. Spirit is the stage of miracles..when (a) you fuse with God to have that which you need for fullfillment in your life in an material spiritual sense, it materializes from the need...(b) divine conciousness...where you fuse with God and become the creator, not the created, the giver of life not the receiver and perform miracles of creativity, (c) . The distinction between the creator and the created vanishes...the spirit in you totally emerges with the spirit of everything else. you will live in complete knowingness and trust..at one with the "being" in total love..in an illumination of this state...the pure light, the burning of the essense of your soul. I wonder if this is the step many of us Near death epereincncers get to when we say we have come to an bright light in having such an experience, I recongized my "light: as that of Jesus, but by then perhaps we had already "fused" as "oneness" from within the realm.I have been able to one other time come to this state, without an near death expereince but I was pretty close to it even then. At that time an huge white light bubble came over me in protection as I surrendered myself to it for healing...and I can remeber saying "I knew you'd come" before losing consciousness...though I do not know whom I was talking to other then an "light". That is what I learned yesterday and exlpored for its knowledge. |

I am trying to learn this but it's a hard road! It's so diffcult to "unlearn" things we've been taught since childhood. I think part of this is what I learned yesterday...the issue with the ego. It was a term I wanted to use in the post but didn't quite know how to explain it!! |

I know many of these things myself already, but it's hard for me to express them to others without them being skeptical of me. What did I learn yesterday, if you have an older house on an level lot big enough, dig down in an V-shape around one end of it and put up an retaing wall with the grass in front of it lowered and going up level again...it makes the house appear to look as it if was sitting on an hill...and about twice the size.Because it gives an different view-point to the eye, it also adds lots more interest to the property in general..it'slow cost also, you cna use rocks for the wall i fyou have them or anything else you can find also.something people can do realtively easy as to cost...for an bigger over all landscape trick. |
