Integrating the Spirals: To a friend who was embarrassed over a stranger’s rude behavior

This is a multifaceted issue, but let me give it to you bluntly:

The world is full of assholes.

Rude, obnoxious, arrogant, and hateful people.

We can’t avoid them all either because… they walk/drive amongst us.

We can’t kill them either, even to think those kinds of thoughts ripples outward to The Field.

A lot of people are bothered by that type of behavior.

I learned long ago that hurt people, hurt people. But the Buddhist way is to detach from it so we don’t suffer. Which is why we walk away (or hang back from the angry driver).

As well, you probably know, as do I, we (the greater We), can’t change anyone.

I say all this not from a place of judgment, but of hard-earned experience, a lot of counseling, and working on my Self.

My friend was experiencing embarrassment because she is an American in another country. Another American came into an establishment and acted inappropriately. He was rude, brash, loud, and demanding. She felt sorry for the others in the place that had to witness his poor behavior. She sure didn’t want to see or hear him.

I know it’s a hard truth to hear… but these people exist in any country. Even within family circles.

I have been where she is (not the country but the situation)… I was married to an asshole. Actually, two of them.

It makes no difference the gender either. I have sat with males and females, gay and straight, who have been in relationships with assholes.

I have been sitting quietly working with my boss, only to have my asshole ex-husband come storming in, yelling and raving, to find me because I wasn’t home on time.

I have been the passenger when he decided to road rage with someone.

I have been trying to enjoy a holiday family dinner when the ex went into a downward emotional spiral.

I get why we feel embarrassed. But we shouldn’t. Because in truth, it’s not our fault.

My intention in writing this is to share what I’ve learned with hope that it might help someone else.

Spread the word…

We don’t have to feel embarrassed over anyone’s bad behavior. We are only responsible for our own thoughts and actions.

Don’t let anyone steal your joy.

Everything Resolves to Gratitude in the end.

Yours in consciousness-expansion as we evolve and revolve during our mystical awakening. All while doing-my-egoless-best, to take you on a limitless, spiraling thought ride to better health, through doing more with ease, to help us sustain the JOY in our lives! (With lots of Gratitude throughout.)

Integrating the Spirals: To the Ice protesters

I’m not a Veteran, but I have many Veterans in my circle, both family and dear friends, and I have worked for the Veterans Administration. I can say with confidence that most Veterans and Americans love our country and are distressed with what’s been happening in recent years.

Freedom, long fought (and died) for, appears to be eroding faster than I can type this. It’s time to take a solemn moment to dig deeper… and mine for truth. I know this is a multifaceted issue:

From Mikki Willis

Dear ICE Protesters,

I speak to you as a veteran and former progressive frontline protester…

Not from a place of judgment, but of hard-earned experience.

One thing I learned over the years is that no protest reaches the national stage without consent from the very system it opposes.

Look deeper…

Ask who’s organizing and funding these demonstrations.

Research their backgrounds and their long-term agendas.

You may discover, as I did, that you’re not resisting oppression…

You’re being used in a campaign to destabilize and dismantle your own country.

I know that’s a hard truth to hear…

And I know how this will likely be received…

You might think “Mikki is just another far-right bigot.”

But that’s not who I am…

That’s not where I come from…

I have been where you are today…

And I have been on the frontlines of countless protests just like this one.

My intention is to share what I’ve learned with hope that it might help someone out there.

Have you heard the term, “Useful idiot?”

It refers to good people, well-meaning people…

Unknowingly advancing a cause that ultimately harms them and the people they love.

I don’t see you as an idiot.

I see you as a caring human in a world awash with expertly crafted propaganda.

Just like I was.

I don’t blame you.

I understand you.

At some point, the illusion breaks.

The anger fades.

The grief begins.

You’ll start to see things clearly…

And when you do, you’ll remember warnings like this one.

Only then will you find yourself truly on the right side of history…

Not the one that’s been scripted for you, but the one you choose with open eyes.

Until then, may God bless us all.

Spread the word…

Father/Filmmaker

Integrating the Spirals: What AI had to say about ME!

Here I am, sitting with our twin granddaughters. And they’re ignoring me, like teenagers, though they’re 8 years of age! Ha! They’re playing their Switches.

I was introduced to a new AI website

The other day, I was introduced to a new artificial intelligence (AI) website. Perplexity AI. Here’s what it said about ME:

What Perplexity AI summarized about my holistic practices.

What Perplexity AI had to say about my “spiral” technique, Integrating the Spirals.

More from Perplexity AI about my daily holistic practices.

The last bit from Perplexity AI about my daily holistic practices.

I found ALL of this AMAZING! I think Perplexity AI summed up and made a great detailed list of my holistic practices. What do you think? (If you’re familiar with or have been following my writings, that is.) Here’s the link if you’d like to try Perplexity AI: https://www.perplexity.ai

Integrating the Spirals: Late night musing

Someone shared something in the Dr. Bruce Lipton WhatsApp chat tonight that took me inward. I’ll share that in a minute. Here’s what came up for me:

A teaching and inner dialogue that came up for me tonight. —Sheila Murrey

What was the initial impetus?

Someone had shared this meme about “One who vibrates to the energy of pure love will counterbalance the negativity of 750,000 who do not.” Another individual (in the group) asked how this researcher came up with such a number? And thought that those of us who buy into this supposed research are buying into yet another illusory paradigm that’s not real (continuing to perpetuate the problem that doing our inner work is supposed to solve)!

Meme: Research by Dr. David Hawkins on vibration and love.

What do you think?

Shake it off

The Bible on the Plight of the Homeless (and my comment)

Before I reblog this deeply moving article, let me tell you why by sharing the comment I left at the end of it:

Thank you for this sobering story of reflection and excellent scripture verses.
For decades I have abstained from attending church because they wouldn’t open their doors to the poor and needy.
1) I used to serve food once a week at a local church my family and I attended until the pastor ended the program because someone was in fear about the ladies safety who took turns driving the church van to transport the homeless to the church and back.
2) Churches typically blame their insurance companies for not allowing them to keep their doors open 24×7 to those in need of ministry or place to sleep.
3) A coworker who desperately needed counseling one day, left our office to walk across the street to a church. She got in a side door. When the priest approached her he asked how she got in! She told him and after escorting her out he proceeded to lock the door behind her!
4) When a hurricane struck Florida years ago, my parents and my children (who had been visiting them for a weekend), went to our church (ironically, that my mom cleaned each week of her own good heart, not for money), and they slept on the floor because mom had the key. They needed to stay there because my parents lived in a mobile home. The church found out the next day and kicked my parents and my children out. We were stunned and never went back.
SAD to say! Our churches are NOT serving God anymore. Look at how they closed during Covid!!!
Watching the latest episode of The Chosen actually brought all this back up for me. Jesus would drive many people and pastors out of the churches if He was walking the earth today.

Now, here’s the article:

I quoted this passage a few years ago, but the reference to it being from Eugene Peterson’s rendering of the New Testament only appears at the end. I…

‘Thrive in 25’ – Current stuff (Goings and Doings)

I know I haven’t written much lately. I’ve been reblogging more than writing personal thoughts. We’ve had a lot going on here and anticipate a busy summer. Thus, forgive me, but I imagine most of you are busy too!

We had an excellent time with our three granddaughters; our 13 year old was lead in the school play (Matilda Jr. if you know it), and graduated (called a promotion ceremony here). We attended both at her middle school. She finished 8th grade with academic honors. And we were thrilled for her!

Our three granddaughters walking into the school, hand-in-hand. Isn’t that so cute? (And no, I am not allowed to post faces publicly.) She wore a long dress but added a shirt on top that I had given her years ago, which made her ensemble all the more special to me. She thought it might be cool in the auditorium. It wasn’t. But her dress had spaghetti straps and she liked the look of the shirt as a cover; I think it worked well too. Aww!

Spiral thought: As the children walked to receive their certificates of accomplishment, I noticed that many of the girls looked older than 13 years of age. I don’t know if it’s from the additives in our foods or what, but I had a moment when I thought, “Guys should ‘card’ every girl before asking them out.” Yes, apparently I have been watching too many YouTube true stories of young people falling into bad situations. Ugh!

At any rate, from simply having one errant thought or observation like this, I then proceeded to work my spiral process (silently to myself in that moment), as to why such a thought occurred to me! I quickly shifted back to Presence to truly enjoy the whole event—including family photos at its conclusion. No tears. No worries!

I say this to show you that I am continually clearing thoughts for myself that crop up, that are either from some negative past experience, or from something negative I’ve watched. I sure don’t want to allow negative thoughts to grow or bring about any further negative experience in my life or anyone in our circle! And yes, Expanding Consciousness does allow for ALL manifestations. Think weeds in the garden! We must have an awareness our thoughts so we CAN prune the unwanted ones! That’s the whole purpose of mindfulness and meditation!

Now, my Theosophy book club continues, as well as personal book zooms with authors (let me know if you’re interested in booking those with me). I also continue to attend the lovely and lively monthly Dr. Bruce Lipton zoom calls—I went Live with Bruce on the most recent call, and I will post a snip of that on my YouTube channel soon. I also have a new song to drop on YouTube tomorrow or Wednesday.

I’m preparing for vacation (to attend my 45th high school reunion a few states away mid July). And I have been and will continue spending time with our 8 year old twin granddaughters (as their out of school for the summer). Our eldest is visiting Florida right now for a couple of weeks, otherwise she’d be watching the twins and I would just pop in whenever.

Reviews on Yelp

I have recently decided my reviews for local restaurants and such are probably better off residing on Yelp, though my daughter likes Google better for these types of reviews.

Here’s a recent positive review I posted, and yes, occasionally I post a bit negative leaning review—to keep things honest.

Everything happens for a reason in the multiverse with myriad sides to every story

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason in the multiverse and Everything Resolves to Gratitude. Knowing that each of us (as fractals) uplifts my mind and allows me to view life as a lively kaleidoscope grand design that moves about in an ever-expanding, revolving, melodious, consciousness. Even if we have to disconnect from some people, for a time.

Enjoy (IN Joy) everything and love! Be Everything All the Time. Let’s THRIVE in ’25!

Yours in expanding, coexisting (because there’s more than one-side to every story), balancing, spiraling consciousness,

Integrating the Spirals: Fourth Turning

To offer additional perspectives and clues to the WWIII / WWIV situation, especially if you just read the preceding post from The Realist Juggernaut. Here’s Sasha Stone’s Fourth Turning report:

https://open.substack.com/pub/sashastone/p/welcome-to-the-fourth-turning-report?r=5g6f6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

There are multiple perspectives within this multifaceted and complex story.

Pray and prepare

From our time living off the grid in 2020-2021, you know we know how to prepare (and we have). Please do your best also and know we stand in pray with you. This is NOT the time to worry or protest. This is the time to come together in solemn and active prayer. And remember Faith IS the substance of things not yet seen.

Integrating the Spirals: Aftermath of Hurricane Helene

We just finished watching these Peter Santenello videos of the devastation and cleanup going on still, nearly 8 months after hurricane Helene ravaged parts of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The scale and scope of the destruction is staggering.

There are multiple perspectives within this multifaceted story:

Peter Santenello talks with a variety of locals, as well as volunteers and contractors who have been helping cleanup after hurricane Helene.

Peter Santenello – continues talking with anyone and everyone still recovering after hurricane Helene.

Hurricanes

We lived through many hurricanes and tropical storms in the nearly 40 years Richard and I lived in Florida. We never experienced this kind of devastation. We give Peter props for interviewing as many as he could during his time in North Carolina.

People who have never experienced a flood should watch his videos and consider whether they could survive one.

Integrating the Spirals: The Trail of Tears

As I have written previously, I am of English, Irish, Dutch, German, and Native American lineage (Cherokee tribe). And my grandmother was persecuted for being Native American. Recently, friend and fellow blogger, Michael of 80sMetalMan and Peaceful Rampage reminded me of an old book, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation by John Ehle (1988). I’d begun reading this book years ago and had put it down for a time when I had a bit more control over my emotions. And now seems like a good time to finish reading it.

Previous post: https://sheilamurrey.net/2020/06/01/walking-in-anothers-shoes-and-waiting-on-the-sun/

I’m thinking about reading some of the book aloud and presenting it on my YouTube channel. Would anyone be interested in watching or listening to something like that? Let me know in the comments.

Here’s a few pages of interest from my initial read of the book. I’ve got a few more chapters to read of it before I can say that I’ve completed it. I pick it up and put it down because some of the stories are a bit hard for me to process emotionally. Aww! Y’all know I’m sensitive.
