Integrating the Spirals: Marker and oil pastel sketches to honor our connections

I’m sharing two more sketches my soul-sister, artist, and connected friend, Linda Lewis of Thailand (previously from Arkansas) has shared on her blog. Linda and I continue to uncover more ways in which, We Are All Connected. And sometimes it’s almost scary how many levels and ways we DO connect! I will continue to share sketches every so often of the ones that I enjoy drawing and coloring, as Linda is always encouraging me to find the JOY in each and every artistic endeavor I take on. Thank you sooo much, Linda!

See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – as I read Linda’s articles about her daily life, her visits with her dear husband (who’s in a nursing home), and their son, who’s been so brave and steady in the face of the changes his parents have had during this last year or so–taking on the task of moving them from Arkansas to Thailand and all the minutiae of paperwork, organization, and care that has went into that! I honestly believe he’s provided a herculean effort that most wouldn’t even consider much less accomplish with so much love and compassion that I’m taking a big breath just to imagine!

I want to honor our connections on this lovely Mother’s Day. It could be any day though. Because after reading four exceptional articles from The Realist Juggernaut this morning, I am finding that honoring our connections (both current and past from our lineage and family ties), is what’s most important in life! Thank you, John, for these articulate and deeply profound posts that certainly, I will be reading again tonight and sitting with for a long time. I hope others will find them validating and valuable as well:

Health update

The naturopathic doctor used myofascial release and other soft tissue releases to continue working on my left foot, knee, and hips. I’m getting a bit more range of motion when attempting to lift my big toe, but we’re not there yet. I wonder, but hope, I’ll get full use of it again. I’m in no pain with it, so there’s that. It is numb on the inner half of big and second toe. But the sciatica is nearly gone in my back, thus I cannot complain. I have not resumed dancing yet, though I plan to soon!

Continued Forward Motion

I’ve been busy getting ready for Gina’s conference. I’ve done everything on the checklist for her, but I am continuing to refine and practice my keynote speech. I’ve also been building connections with the other guests she’s had on her podcast and previous conference, as well as the other guests on this upcoming June conference. Be sure to follow Gina’s YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GinaVirginiaCasella

We’ve been watching the three Lord of the Rings films and now, the three Hobbit movies. I must say, my husband and I stay entertained! And I’m nearly complete on reading Russell Brand’s new book and I’ll review it in a couple of weeks. Stay tuned!

Continued prayers for a Facebook acquaintance (her sister, sister’s husband, and niece were in a head on car crash). The crash killed the unobservant driver. Her sister is an organ donor and being transferred to another hospital to keep oxygen flowing to her body–it’s been a traumatic last few days as she’s asked her readers to pray for a miracle, but now, it seems as she’s found some peace in knowing her sister’s organs will aid 8 other people to live more fully. She’d been angry at the hospital at first for not following the family’s wishes–they did NOT want the brain test to see if she was brain inactive. And you know me, I do not give up hope for anyone until we’re in the ground. She’s now simply asking people to stay more present with family and friends. And aware while driving. I agree. None of us know when our end will come.

Also, continued loving vibes and prayers to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident in Idaho. We know physical distance makes things more difficult.

I am also continuing to work on creating new graphics for marketing my new book, We Are All Connected: The How and The Why. Thus, I’ll leave all of the words (over 600 pages) in the book and simply make this post image heavy.

I’m not sorry for your loss, I am sorry for your grief

So many times I see people comment on Facebook or other social media, “I’m sorry for your loss” after someone dies. That phrase has always rung hollow to me. I am sure many people just don’t know what to say, and want to express their condolences. But it’s not really true. It would be more true to say, I’m sorry for the grief you’re experiencing (or will experience). I’m sorry that you may experience loneliness, sadness, emptiness, or such. I’m sorry that we always experience the loss of the routine we had with the person (or the pet).

Think of it this way, when your dog dies, you’ll have those periods of time throughout your days when you used to play with them, walk them, feed them, etc. and after they are gone, you suddenly find yourself trying to fill that space of time! That’s what loss feels like. And sometimes we experience emotional turmoil too, like mad that the person left us, and then we feel guilty for feeling that way! There’s such a range of emotions that a person can feel after someone “crosses over” to the Other Side.

Thus, maybe it would be more honest for me to say, “I’m not as sorry for your loss as I am sorry for the many phases of grief you will experience. And I hope you will reach out to me, even if you just want someone to lend an ear and keep your thoughts confidential.”

A fellow blogger and journalist, John Neff, wrote an exquisite poem that I resonated deeply within me. Actually, John has written several poems I love. Here’s the link to the first I found beautiful: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/07/01/the-hearts-lament/ And then the second: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/07/18/poe-in-space-beyond-the-bounds-of-earthly-spires/

I told John I love these poems, and if I was remiss, he knows it now. Often beautiful poems help us say things we might otherwise struggle to find the words to express our feelings. My mission is to help people know they are never truly alone. And that mission is near and dear to my heart. Thinking of that, this poem hits me in the feels as well: https://therealistjuggernaut.com/2024/04/12/echoes-in-the-dark/

Why?

I lost an aunt and a husband of a dear family friend to suicide.

Then fast forward many years, I struggled with a dark night of the soul and the spirit of suicide tempted me to take my own life too! Prayer brought me out of it.

As most in my circle know, we lost David Wilcock to the Other Side several days ago, purportedly from taking his own life. While that seems unfathomable to many of us, only David knew what he was personally experiencing in his life. I share this link to honor the man, and soul he was while on this planet in this lifetime: https://www.youtube.com/live/VbXvRyKeWp8?si=dOnA8Zv_ijOGaHHb

I will also continue to ask for prayers and loving vibes to be sent along to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family too.

I know how suddenly death can impact each of our lives. I also know there’s something vast on the Other Side. Not only because of the visitations I’ve had from my sister, Christina, and from my beautiful mother after she crossed over to the Grand Beyond. But also, because I was awakened in the middle of the night with a strong male voice telling me (twice!) the words, We Are All Connected. The subject of my 5th book.

Self Control allows us to more easily Connect. And establish Communion.

When we live a life affirming of our CONNECTION it affords us the luxury of thought whereby we can more easily Connect to each other, as well as commune on a higher level! At least, that’s the high vibrational thought I am affirming today. Woo-hoo!

And what better way to commune with another than to exert some semblance of Self Control over our own thoughts and words!

Thus, I want to explore the concept of Self Control.

I have an uncle that always pauses before he speaks. He’s always done that. Once I realized he was silently saying an internal prayer first (praying with every breath), it made sense. I believe he’s always inviting the Holy Spirit to be with him (or speak through him), as he talks with others.

I saw a meme recently that said we could develop self discipline by being more mindful over when and what we eat/drink. That’s when I remembered that observing our thoughts (like my uncle does) and working up to being fully conscious and checking in with every breath, is even better to reign ourselves in (self discipline/self control). 

Think about how much Self Control you impose on your thoughts, words, and actions for a few days and let me know in the comments, if this is something you actively DO (or not).

Integrating the Spirals: Walking the Metaphysical Path with a Soul Tribe!

Sometimes many of us feel unheard. And us writers feel unread! But recently, a fellow blogger of mine brought up an issue regarding “dreams” and where they may come from. To quote Gray Summers, “…dreams do surface in short term memory. Hence they are difficult to keep a hold of. Also, lack of certain vitamins or minerals can bring on strong dream experiences.” We chat via comments and agree that dreams form in the subconscious.

Confirming this about dreams forming in the subconscious, Google says, “….visual or conceptual experiences during sleep, likely originating from the subconscious mind processing daily sensory inputs, memories, and suppressed emotions. They function to consolidate memories, process emotions, and bridge subconscious fears with conscious thoughts. These dreams can serve as emotional regulation, helping to manage stress and avoid over-fitting to daily data.”

Now, I write a LOT about dreams, as you know from the book I wrote, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection. That book was based on this story medicine and previous article, https://sheilamurrey.net/2017/04/26/that-little-blue-dot/

I continue to find the synchronicities with the new soul tribe I’m meeting via one of my Dr. Bruce Lipton group friends, Gina Virginia Casella. The Imaginal Cells group, that’s the name Bruce and his nephew Alex like to call us–those of us who gather with Bruce on his monthly Zoom calls have been getting to know each other during the last 4 years that I’ve been a member. It seems we’re of a special kind of ilk. We actually reach out and friend each other on platforms, like WhatsApp, Facebook, or Instagram, etc. to stay in touch throughout the month. We’ve lost some members (to the Other Side) from within the Imaginal Cells group, because “that’s the circle of life” and thus, we try to scoop up as much time together as possible since we know we’ve built a very strong fabric that one day may form a beautiful tapestry!

The tribe is gathering

The collective with Gina Virginia Casella is gathering. She calls the tribe, Dragon Dreamers. I’ve mentioned a few posts back that I’ve already recorded one interview for Gina’s podcast and YouTube channel, but as well, I will be presenting a keynote speech on June 13th on Gina’s channel.

To learn more about the upcoming conference and how you may also join our soul tribe of Dragon Dreamers, connect with Gina at: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/

Gina did a YouTube Live today that I watched and commented on, which in direct Observer Effect fashion, she mentioned me by name and even popped my comment up on the screen! Haha! Yay! Here’s the link to see it, (and Gina’s focus was on the full moon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_RdzoFkdmw

Movie Review: If not for all the magic, the 8 Harry Potter films would be the most Christian shows we’ve seen in a long time!

I’m thankful to author, J.K. Rowling, for writing the Harry Potter books on which all eight films were based. And while these were intense, and of course, were all about natural magic–including potions, spells, and poison, they were great! So clean! No F-bombs. No sex, okay a bit of “kissing in the halls” kinda teenage stuff, but it wasn’t blatant. And no gays (and if there were–not front and center).

We loved watching all the children age a year or so every single night. Yes, we watched each of the films (one per night) in succession. We enjoyed seeing many of the older actors that we don’t see as much too, like the incredible Maggie Smith (whom we loved in Downton Abbey), Alan Rickman (the character we love to hate from Die Hard), John Hurt, Richard Harris, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, and Verne Troyer, and how many remained in their roles throughout the 8 films. I loved watching how they changed Emma Stone’s hair throughout, it was a mess in that first movie, much like my long naturally curly hair was when I was that age. And Daniel Radcliffe was good, but one could certainly appreciate how he grew his acting skills along with way. Rupert Grint did a fine job throughout as well, though there were a few times when we weren’t sure he should have been jealous, though that’s “per the script” and direction too, perhaps not his acting choice.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

I’m not anti-gay. But over the years the gayness has increased across the board. It seems now that EVERY movie or TV series we’ve watched in the last 10-20 years has been overrun with gay content. Or perhaps I could say, the gay story lines/content is disproportionate to the amount of gays among us.

Of course, we laugh at Little Britain. We own the DVD series of that British comedy–and we used to laugh at Russell Brand’s audacious stand-up comedy routines too! And my gay friends are funny (hilarious at times in fact!) because they don’t take themselves so seriously. Something I struggle with–taking myself so seriously.

But they’re adults, and we’re adults. I know no one wants to DO adulting, but come on. We know people are people and each have free will to live as they choose and love who they want. We simply don’t want to see gay themes in EVERY SINGLE show. Sorry. We don’t!

We just watched Mark Wahlburg in Balls Up last night and thought it was hilarious–I’ve never laughed so hard during the first five minutes of a movie!!! And there were gay references in it, but Mark scored points for Jesus in it too, and for me, it was a GREAT BALANCE!

Per Google (just now): “Based on global surveys, approximately 3% of adults worldwide identify specifically as gay or lesbian, while around 9% identify as LGBTQ+ overall, according to a 2023 study across 30 countries. The broader LGBTQ+ figure includes bisexual (4%), pansexual (1%), and asexual (1%) identities.” And they do allow for generational differences, regional variations, and data limitations.

I’m simply saying that Hollyweird (Disney, in particular) has gotten to the point where everything, even Star Wars, has gone gay. (Talk about Girls Gone Wild.) Geesh! The Acolyte did no favors for witches (or women) either, by burning them all in that one scene. Ugh! Why can’t we all just get along? As an occultist (one that likes to study the hidden, that does not mean demonic or evil stuff), I was offended!

Mostly, this is why I think Taylor Sheridan has done such a great job on his shows. He’s found a way to balance things. Yes, I know he stretches history. I hear some guys say he emasculates his male characters. I hear the negative rants about Taylor.

But as much as we love The Chosen it was becoming one of the few shows we could watch that was as clean as Harry Potter!

Spoiler alert: As I’ve written about before, I watch a ton of YouTube because even Stranger Things, which I had looked forward to its season 5 for so long–ended on a huge gay note! And speaking of endings, we were SAD when Doby died! Hubby says, “That last Harry Potter flick didn’t have to end that way.”

I’m compassionate and empathic, and I know everyone has a gay member in their family or circle of friends. We do too! Or at least a non-binary, whether they claim to be gay or not (which is none of my business). And I want to support them. But as for the cult-like LGBT+ community, when it was simply LGB I did support them. When they added the T and the plus–which stands for all the other bizarre stuff and wanted the rest of us to think it was all NORMAL… nope!

I wasn’t one to talk about the “slippery slope” stuff either years ago, but now, I see where it HAS been a slippery slope!

We went to Disney once during “gay days” and lived in St. Petersburg, Florida where they love their Pride parades. Well, I have an issue with Pride on the whole anyway, as a concept, and rarely use the word. So no, I don’t go out for those kind of events either.

Bash me. Call me a hater. So be it. You say that like it’s a bad thing. I’m entitled to my opinion just as you are to yours. And I won’t call you a hater, though I may unfriend/unfollow you (and probably will) if we can’t agree to disagree on this one aspect of life. I’ll go back to listening to my Tom Macdonald songs.

Rant, er, review done. Bring on the comments!

Integrating the Spirals: More brush tip marker and oil pastel sketches to usher in Spring in New England

I’m continuing to play and sketch per my soulie sister type friend, Linda Lewis from Arkansas, who now lives in Thailand–she’s a lifelong artist. And we connect on many levels. So, I’m sharing two sketches I did, following her painted sketches as models.

See Linda’s painted sketches on her blog at: https://creativeartworksblog.com – Each of her blog articles that I used as a model are included below the images:

Per my husband’s suggestion, I used dual-tip brush markers to fine line some details and color in the darker portions. I began the sketch and colored in using oil pastels, so I changed up my process a bit. I think it worked better. Linda suggested I sketch with a pencil and use an eraser as needed. I may do that soon, as I goofed on the second sketch and had I drawn it with a pencil first, for sure I would have fixed that elbow! Ha! But I’m not aiming for Perfection, so there’s that.

Happy Spring! We’re enjoying one of our first 60+ degree days here in New England (New Hampshire, USA). And it’s been sunny too! We had some warm days before this but then they were rainy days. Ugh.

Classes

I did a two-day online class with Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi this week on AI. I learned a couple things but mostly, it was a waste of time. I did a lot of chatting during the presentations though (they streamed it with canned applause, which I don’t like), but when they got to the sales spiel, I turned it off. I went to try the first thing “animate this” on Google Gemini and it wanted to charge me $3.99 a month (for the first two months, then it would cost $7.99). No. There’s too many AI apps to choose from for me to pay anything of them–and hubby pays for ChatGPT so if I really need something that badly, he’ll use that to create it for me. I just wanted to test what I’d learned and wanted to animate my book cover to see what it would do. I wasn’t going to pay Google (of all companies) to test the new prompt. Ugh.

I then also took a five-day online class with Dr. Sue Mortimer. She sort of does what I do in Integrating the Spirals, and so it was neat to get a new fresh take on the whole breath work thing. And she is an excellent presenter. I simply have my hands into too many things to sign-up and pay for anything right now. Thus, I took these free classes to sort of see how I align with them. I liked Dr. Sue, but I am sitting with a couple of things she said as I wouldn’t present “the soul” the same way she does. And that’s okay. Just different. Dr. Sue has great things to say to us, heady people. And as you know, and as many of you are too, when one is an analyst, writer, researcher, philosopher, and/or intellectual, we sit a LOT! And she did a good job of explaining how we need to bring our breath INTO our bodies (using central channel breathing). Again, her presentations were worthwhile. I’m thankful for the ripples she puts out into our world!

As for Tony Robbins though, I’m thankful he feeds so many people. But I think he’s off my radar now. I put some opinion on Facebook. I don’t know if I should post it here. But let’s just say, bottom line, he’s a trans-humanist. And I am NOT. I do not want nano bots injected into my body. He’s for that. You may wonder why he brought that kind of thing up while talking with a worldwide audience of something like 800k people, yeah, when it was an AI class. I wondered that too. It didn’t leave me with a good feeling. Sorry, Tony!

Health update

I’m done with the chiropractor, at least for now. The naturopathic doctor has helped me immensely just from ONE visit! I really must leave Dr. Paterson a Googe review because I am still amazed at how much better I feel, again, after just my first visit. I go back to him in a little over a week. He did something called myofascial and positional release (I think). At least I know he did myofascial release and then I looked up the last two words. He’s also a DOM, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, and I’d thought he might use acupuncture on my left foot, but no, at least not yet. He was much more gentle than the chiropractor too, so there’s that. It’s almost like he must work on people who have rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or such and can do so much good, even using a gentle approach.

I have movement in my two toes (big toe and second toe), though the inner portion/side of each is still numb–but there’s no pain–on the left foot now (I estimate about 40% improvement), and the sciatica pain has reduced about 75%! Plus, I ran out of nerve tonic and I noticed I don’t have nerve pain from the shoulder situation anymore. YAY! I plan on resuming dancing soon, maybe even, (gasp!), tomorrow!

In Progress

I’m also in the process of putting together a keynote speech for new friend, Gina Virginia Casella’s upcoming conference. I’m thrilled to do it and it’s been fun thinking of ways to explain Interconnectedness along with introducing my new book.

The podcast conversation we recorded the other day should be Live soon–I’ll keep you all posted. And I enjoyed the gemstone reading Gina gave me. You can see examples of how she does those, as well as find the last conference recordings at: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/

We finished the 8 Harry Potter movies and I’m drafting a review of these with a great title that just dropped into my head last night. I should have it out tomorrow.

As I said, I have my hands in a lot of things right now. Ha! Apologies as always for my lateness in responding to your comments. I do love reading your comments though!

I’m still reading Russell’s book and others, the new Tarot book came in and I’ve already been taking a look at it.

And let’s continue sending prayers and loving vibes to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael and his family in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com), as his half sister is recuperating from an incident and she lives far from him. I sure know that feeling when we lived so far from my daughter during that time in 2022 when my husband had a stroke. Distance makes things harder when there’s serious injury or illness within a family.

From an Analytical Empath: Next Steps on the Metaphysical Path

As we continue along the metaphysical path, that takes us from the knotted center of the spiral onwards and adding space as we go, to the outer bands. This becomes the snail’s path too, the longer we’re on this path. Eventually, we look back to see how far we’ve come and observe the spiral! Thus, you glimpse what I’m talking about when I say, “Integrating the Spirals.” Ha!

When we integrate too fast, or begin to jog along the spiral snail’s path… we can hurt ourselves (as I did in January when I went from dancing to two songs–6 to 7 minutes of movement–to three songs! Ten minutes of dancing was simply too much for me! After all, I’d only been dancing daily for six months. What the heck was I thinking?

I am such a heady person. An analyst. A writer. Philosopher. Intellectual. And I sit a LOT! While my heart wants to love, I can still get stuck from time to time. I talk with folks on Zoom often and type every day, and forget to show my SELF care and love, as I might someone else (like my husband (who lives with me), son (who lives far away), and daughter, granddaughters, and son-in-law who all live next door)!

Doctoring

Thankfully, I had a chiropractor near that I could go see and try to get my body back online (and dance again). But for whatever reason, and though he was doing an aWEsOMe job on my neck, back, and such, I found that my shoulder would feel better, but then I’d have lower back sciatica! Ugh! And then I found this issue with a tendon in my foot (or so I’d thought). After a few more chiropractic sessions, I felt like I needed additional help with the foot.

I looked up “naturopaths near me,” because this is how I practice holism. (Smiling. Just kidding. Well, sort of.) and found my new doctor! I say that because I made an appointment and saw Dr. Paterson yesterday. Wow! He totally impressed me as he did quite a bit of myofascial release and positional release on my L5 spinal area, left knee, and left foot! Here’s his info page that describes some of that along with his story: https://centredownehealth.com/dr-brian-paterson/

Mixing it up

Hubby and I have been watching each of the Harry Potter movies on HBO. (No, we don’t subscribe to HBO, but the family does for a few months a year and we get an account through them.) So, I’ve never read the books, nor seen any of these before. So, now, I’m getting to watch all the child actors age a year or more every night as we view a new film. We’re up to about film #6 at this point. Wow! I can see why kids became so enraptured by these stories! How creative and imaginative is J.K. Rowling!?! Amazing!

Yesterday and today I had the JOY of meeting and talking with Gina Virginia Casella. We recorded a podcast conversation yesterday, so I’ll have a link from that to share here with you soon, as well as a gemstone reading (Gina’s own discovery – and you can see more here: https://buymeacoffee.com/ginavirginiacasella/) to uncover if/where I had any issues going on (and I do!) in, through, or around me.

Using metaphors, Gina offers ideas and then it’s up to me to know or feel how they may apply to my life currently. I’m sure a reading like that might change daily as our lives move on. It’s a bit like receiving a tarot reading.

Oh, and speaking of tarot, in my book club I learned that another participant has written a book, so I ordered it! Laurie Watts-Amato wrote a book to help us read our own tarot cards. It’s on Amazon and is called, Tarot Insights – and here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4vMdYsj

Lastly, for my Christian readers, I watched a couple of dynamite videos that I think you will LOVE!

I’ve followed Russell Brand for YEARS. I used to love his Under the Skin podcast and YouTube channel interviews and comedic take on the news. I know he’s evolved now, and while I questioned at first, why he chose Catholicism when he accepted Christ Jesus, I knew he would eventually let us in on his story and he has. Thus, I bought Russell Brand’s new book (How to become a Christian in 7 Days), on Kindle, and I’m reading a bit of it each night before I fall asleep. It’s been fantastic so far, AND bonus with it, I’m learning some new words! And yes, Russell tells us as we read along what those words mean, which is GREAT! Here are the links: https://youtu.be/ISETUBf6aoo?si=zEoRKY1z61BdGfPs

And someone new to me, Tim Alberino expounds upon a fascinating journey through Bible times and talks about giants here: https://youtu.be/CiQTBOQ1dTg?si=Cqil8CJbBQoZmRGs

I know I’ve given you several links already, but as I only found out this morning and had this post in draft prior, let me add one more. David Wilcock has purportedly taken his own life. While many of us who have watched David for YEARS (mostly on Gaia TV), it’s hard to believe–we know these things can happen to anyone. Circumstances in life, body pain, or foul play can happen anytime, anywhere. I’m sharing this video to honor and respect the sensitive man, the parapsychology teacher, and the astounding researcher David was: https://www.youtube.com/live/VbXvRyKeWp8?si=dOnA8Zv_ijOGaHHb Blessings to David’s friends and family at this sad time.

If you’re still here, I’d ask for prayers and loving vibes to be sent along to our author friend and blogger pal, Michael in the UK (https://peacefulrampage.wordpress.com) for his family too.

From an Analytical Empath: First Steps along the Metaphysical Path

As I wrote in my book, Blue Eyes: Ethereal Messages of Connection, chapters 6 and 11, I present information regarding connecting points and sacred lessons when I meet a person who has blue eyes. The whole book actually explains the first steps I took along a metaphysical path, but for those who haven’t read it, I’ll jump to the part that most influences my daily life.

The “blue eyes” thing guides me on a near daily basis because of the metaphysical experience I had while in the deeply relaxed state of hypnosis. Though I’d went for a hypnosis session as a birthday gift to myself with a goal of releasing excess weight on my body, I got a whole lot more out of it, including an introduction to my “less than day-old sister,” Christina, whom I’d been searching for my whole life–up to that point in time. (I’m an only child out of the six pregnancies my mom had.)

Long after that hypnotherapy session, the words Christina gave me, return to me when I’m talking with or listening to a blue-eyed person–especially on any deep subjects or profound wisdom. She’d told me she would speak to me through such people, and because she said that, I definitely perk up and listen more intently to blue-eyed persons, though of course, I listen to people who possess other eye colors too.

There are a few people who I’ve began following recently (with blue eyes) who stand out though, and one of those is Mikki Willis.

What I get out of online groups

Most recently, in a Mikki Willis group called, Decoding the Narrative, I met a lady named, Zen. And I’m writing this because, as you may have guessed, Zen also has blue eyes!

Our latest call was of an interview/conversation between Mikki and Zen Cryar DeBrucke and her idea of an Internal Guidance System, with many of us participating adding in the chat about our own physical sensations like tightness, tingling, breath shifts, or relaxation as we reflected on what Zen was explaining (“closed” versus “open” states). The conversation connected around the discussion to spiritual discernment, pattern interrupts, EFT, Abraham-Hicks, compassion, truth, and the importance of stillness, journaling, and choosing love over fear.

Several people shared personal stories and insights about intuition, faith, and guidance, including comparisons to the Holy Ghost, gut feelings, and the need to quiet the mind to hear inner wisdom. Others discussed broader themes like propaganda, division in society, truth, and the value of having another person help balance one’s perspective.

The conversation also included practical follow-up details: Zen Cryar DeBrucke was identified by name, her website and podcast links were shared, and participants exchanged greetings from many locations around the world.

Here’s a link to Zen’s podcast series: https://zencryardebrucke.com/podcast/

I’m interested to know if any of her podcasts resonate with you! I was trying to listen to her, Life happens in a Spiral, episode 3 today, but it kept showing me a message that the episode was not on SoundCloud. Maybe some of you can check and see if you can hear her podcast episodes. I sent a message to her via her website form, so we’ll see what the issue is. As I really would like to promote her podcasts! (I clicked on a few more and got the same error message.)

Thankfully, I can listen to Zen on this podcast too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOJKG_UN_M0

In my Dr. Bruce Lipton online group, I met another soulie sister, she doesn’t have blue eyes (at least I don’t think she does), but I align with her on many topics and she does a podcast on YouTube and has invited me to participate on it! I’m stoked! So, stay tuned and I’ll be writing more about that soon. Her name is Gina Virginia Casella and you can find her on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzxa74uBP0k&list=PLVFj1n_d5fHweqjufWJIS4y2Ph3DZgDSo&index=9 and Bruce’s nephew, Alex Lipton has also been a presenter on Gina’s show and here’s a link to his lively and very informative episode: https://youtu.be/Ki1Zulz13n0?si=oK-CbwIijkYzRGzK

Lastly, for my science minded readers, I just read this (else it would have been in my new book) from the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) and it focuses on the science of this beautiful living universe of which, we are all a part: https://noetic.org/blog/unitive-science-of-a-living-universe/

Integrating the Spirals: Exploring Hinduism

I told you a fellow blogger and author, Mr. Vijay Kumar Verma who lives in Kolkata, India and writes on his blog site: https://retiredkalam.com/author/vermavkv/ that I was going to publish a post regarding Hinduism, and this is it. I hope it clearly expresses my thoughts on this world religion and does it at least a tiny bit of justice. Though my church affiliation and spiritual philosophy (which includes my recent (2025) return to accepting the living Christ Jesus into my heart) differs some, I have yet to find any reason to make this an us/them kind of post. I adore Hindu people!

“Namaste” is the respectful Hindu greeting that means “The divine light in me honors the divine light in you” and is emblematic of the positive power of direct eye contact. I’ve also heard it means, “The God in me honors the God in you.” And that works for me, since I believe and honor Omniscience God. I took God out of the box decades ago, though I didn’t have much of a way to express that at first.

I use the Namaste greeting quite often when I meet anyone (such as a clerk or store owner) who I discern may be Hindu. They always return the greeting and often smile, knowing that “I see them.” And that I have a bit of knowledge of their culture and/or faith. It always gives me a warm feeling along with the GodBumps sensation sometimes. That’s the feeling I get that often accompanies a sense of shared connections too!

Since I do not consider myself much of an expert at all concerning Hinduism, I thought I would share the following from Subhamoy Das to help us understand and glean some insight:

Learn Religions (part 1) by Subhamoy Das
Learn Religions (part 2) by Subhamoy Das
Learn Religions (part 3) by Subhamoy Das

Perhaps the reason some Hindus feel an affinity for Christ Jesus is that, like their beloved Ganges, He came to earth to cleanse us from sin, and if they are not physically living in a place where they can visit the Ganges easily, they can call upon Jesus for this cleansing?!? As well, Christ Jesus can assist us in feeling this oneness with God (the Almighty OM).

I also find great comfort in chanting the Aum (OM) and do so often either before or after meditation and singing a particular group of biblical Psalms for healing.

One of the reasons I wanted to write this article was because I had recently seen an article on 1440 News that spoke about India’s caste system. And since I believe the USA also has a caste system, but it isn’t named as such, we very much have people that walk by a homeless person and ignore them or even dare I say, think of the homeless as “unclean.” I want to encourage all of us to be more cognizant of our fellow human beings, no matter their financial status. Is that too much to ask?

My spiritual philosophy

I follow and teach the snails path, which came to me since visiting Newgrange and Knowth in Ireland (twice) in 2019. No more dogma for me. Simply based on a knowing that expands gradually of Omniscience God, and observing the fractals of nature and musing about life’s mysteries. Acknowledging that the unseen exists. That every time we deprogram ourselves from one box, we find we’re in another. But the snails path of a never ending spiral prompts us onward. Curiously, I am walking the path with Christ Jesus again and thankfully, no Hindu person has ever made me feel “less than” for doing so. In fact, many Hindu friends and previous coworkers adore Jesus. Ah! God is still good, all the time. ❤️🙏🤗

Let’s all remember… We Are All Children of The Same Universe.

Integrating the Spirals: Can our thoughts be read?

In my new book,We Are All Connected: The How and The Why we take a look at a profound mystery—how could I have heard words spoken in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep: “We are all connected.” But also, it seems as mystical that people can read other’s minds. And we know that is true because of government programs like MK Ultra. We also know that thoughts, or at least brain waves (brain activity) can be read OUTSIDE of a human skull. A magnetoencephalograph proves it.

Yes, as I wrote in my book, I am fascinated by the magnetoencephalograph, ever since first hearing of it from Dr. Bruce Lipton on one of our monthly zoom calls.

I asked Perplexity.ai “Tell me more about the convergence of science between the magnetoencephelograph and reading human thoughts” and here’s what I found out:

The convergence is real, but it is still decoding brain signals, not literally reading thoughts in a mind-to-mind sense. MEG helps because it measures brain activity with millisecond timing, and recent AI methods are using those signals to reconstruct words, sentences, or the gist of a person’s experience with increasing accuracy.

What MEG contributes

MEG, or magnetoencephalography, records tiny magnetic fields produced by neural activity outside the head, which makes it useful for studying fast language and cognition processes. Its biggest advantage in thought-decoding research is temporal precision: it can track how representations unfold moment by moment, even if it is less spatially exact than fMRI.

How “thought reading” works

In practice, researchers train machine-learning models on a person’s brain data while that person listens, reads, types, or imagines language. The model then learns statistical links between brain patterns and intended words, visual concepts, or sentence structure, which lets it reconstruct a likely text or meaning output.

Where the convergence is strongest

The strongest overlap between MEG and thought-decoding is in language, inner speech, reading, and visual imagery. Recent work reports that MEG can support decoding of sentences typed by participants and that brain activity contains dynamic language codes that help separate letters, syllables, and words over time.

Limits and cautions

This is not general-purpose mind reading. The systems are usually personalized, work best when the participant cooperates, and depend on training data from the same person or task; they also still make errors and do not capture private thoughts reliably outside controlled experiments.

Why it matters

The scientific convergence is between neuroscience, signal processing, and AI. That combination could eventually help people with paralysis, ALS, or speech loss communicate, while also raising serious privacy questions about neural data and consent.

A simple way to think about it is this: MEG is like a very fast microphone for brain timing, and AI is the translator trying to infer the words behind the signal. The microphone is impressive, but the translation is still probabilistic, not omniscient.

It’s not all Woo anymore!

If you get what I’m suggesting in this blog post and even understand what a magnetoencephalograph does, even just a bit—you’re already in alignment with quantum physics. Yes, indeed, we already live in a world of modern research that proves we live within a vast, vibrating field of frequencies and forces that tie galaxies together and shape every cell in your body. What ancient mystics called oneness, scientists now describe as entanglement and coherence. I’m simply here to bring this message out to the forefront.

Everything is Spiritual

My exploration is not only scientific—it’s deeply personal. I believe we can reclaim our sovereignty and cultivate self‑love, along with love for others, when we strengthen and open our hearts and minds for authentic connection.

If you’re into scientists and authors such as Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Joe Dispenza, Neale Donald Walsch, Nassim Haramein, Donna Eden, Barbara Brennan, Raymond Moody, or William Peters, you’ll find (like I have) that the “woo” quickly becomes “wow” when you dig deep.

Look at it this way, the “woo” is simply shorthand for wonder. The wonder of realizing that our thoughts matter. That fear, bias, and self‑doubt can cloud our inner mirror. And that when we polish that mirror of Self—when we love ourselves enough to shine—we add clarity and brilliance to the collective diamond that is humanity. It really isn’t any wonder that the first song my husband and I wrote (while we were dating long distance over twenty years ago) is called, Wonderin’. (See the video of us performing it live on the home page of this blog site.)

I invite you to read my new book

If you’ve ever felt something stir inside you at the sight of a starry sky, or sensed a connection you couldn’t explain, then you’ve already touched the essence of “We are all connected.”

Ask yourself: How woo‑woo are you willing to be if it helps you remember that you’re never alone, always part of one breathing, beating universe?

Because maybe woo‑woo isn’t fringe—it’s the invitation for us to wonder again.

Integrating the Spirals – JIGGLE WIGGLE

In my YouTube channel, I encourage those “over 50” to:

  • And to question EVERYTHING!
  • Open to lifelong learning (observe, gently question, and loosen up pre-conceived beliefs, aka ‘Programming’)
  • Become more aware of our thoughts and emotions to encourage more ease 
  • Loosen up and move our bodies (we’re stuck in our heads also due to our “Programming” and physically unhealthy)
  • And become strong and resilient in spirit, soul, mind, and body.

Integrating the Spirals: Cults

I told you in my last post that I was going to give you some information about the beginnings of NASA in my next post, so here it is. I think I know a thing or two about cults since my church affiliation and spiritual philosophy (which includes my recent (2025) return to accepting the living Christ Jesus into my heart) have been considered cultish by some in the past.

Thus, I turn back to Perplexity.ai to help fill in some blanks.

I asked, “Tell me more about the cult that Jack Parsons, the rocket maker, belonged to in the years leading up to his death. Focus on his connection with L.Ron Hubbard too and the beginnings of NASA.” And here’s what it returned from 15 sources:

Jack Parsons was involved with the Ordo Templi Orientis, the occult system associated with Aleister Crowley’s Thelema, not a single traditional “cult” in the narrow sense. In the years before his death, he became deeply absorbed in ritual magic, especially the Agape Lodge in Pasadena, and his occult life increasingly overlapped with his personal and professional instability.

Parsons and Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard entered Parsons’ life in 1945, when Hubbard was renting a room at Parsons’ house in Pasadena. Their relationship quickly became entangled in Parsons’s occult ambitions, and Parsons later described Hubbard as participating in the “Babalon Working,” a series of rituals intended to manifest a magical figure called Babalon. Some accounts describe Hubbard as a collaborator; others note that Hubbard later claimed he was trying to protect Parsons and help recover Sara Northrup, who became important in both men’s lives.

What the ritual was

The “Babalon Working” was Parsons’s attempt to use sex magic and ceremonial ritual to produce a mystical incarnation of Babalon, a figure from Crowleyan/Thelemic tradition. Parsons believed these rites had cosmological and spiritual significance, while Hubbard’s later role in the story became part of Scientology’s origin mythology and a source of dispute between Hubbard’s followers and Parsons’ biographers.

NOTE: My husband and I watched a very interesting TV series a while back on this subject too! It was called, Strange Angel and you can learn more about it here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7210448/

Rockets and NASA’s beginnings

Parsons did not found NASA, but he was one of the key early figures in American rocket science and a principal founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Aerojet. JPL’s official history traces its beginnings to the 1930s work of Theodore von Kármán’s rocket group at Caltech, which later moved to the Arroyo Seco and became the basis for JPL. Parsons’s rocket fuels and early propulsion work helped establish the technical foundation that later fed U.S. spaceflight, even though NASA itself was created years after Parsons’s death.

NOTE: JPL is the branch of NASA that often creates and manipulates space images. And they were instrumental throughout the Apollo program. Look at the image maker credit at the bottom (in very small letters on most of the space program images and you’ll see that the image was from JPL). You can read more about the specific involvement of JPL with the Apollo space program on their website: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/the-jet-propulsion-laboratorys-apollo-connection/

How the occult and science overlapped

Parsons’s story is unusual because his scientific work and occult beliefs were not separate chapters; they coexisted and, at times, reinforced one another in his mind. By the mid-1940s, however, his occult activities, heavy drinking, and household turmoil had damaged his reputation and career prospects, making the magical side of his life more visible than his engineering work.

My spiritual philosophy

I follow and teach the snails path, which came to me since visiting Newgrange and Knowth in Ireland (twice) in 2019. No more dogma for me. Simply based on a knowing that expands gradually of Omniscience God, and observing the fractals of nature and musing about life’s mysteries. Acknowledging that the unseen exists. That every time we deprogram ourselves from one box, we find we’re in another. But the snails path of a never ending spiral prompts us onward. Curiously, I am walking the path with Christ Jesus again though, after getting burned by most of the “love and light” crowd (who are more judgmental and negative than the Christians I have known my whole life; Christians who never left my side while I ventured into New Age stuff). God is still good, all the time. ❤️🙏🤗

For the record, I am not writing or sharing my spiritual philosophy to start a cult. I grew up raised in a church that many people considered a cult, and I wouldn’t want to brainwash ANYONE or beg them to convert to Christianity for that matter. I would rather work to inform and deprogram people from the mass psychosis that’s been happening for at least the last one hundred years. And to stand for Free Speech and Health Freedom.
