intellectually curious – Integrating the Spirals

August 30th – For my sanity

It’s August 30th, 2024; We have a rockin’ original song for ALL today! This is one of my favorite songs, For my sanity. Great rock vocals from Bubba Hudson and fantastic mix from Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. Let’s ROCK!

Here’s the two-hundred-forty-third new music post for 2024, as I consistently pump out new music for the rockers and the intellectually curious! I know a couple of rockers, 80sMetalman and Gray Summers, fellow bloggers (and Gray is an accomplished musician and songwriter), who may LOVE this tune–because both of these guys know rock when they hear/play it! Getting to know both of them have inspired us.

I’m often ‘too serious’

My husband, Richard Murrey, has had to lighten me up a LOT over the past 20+ years, because of my ‘too serious’ nature. (I guess I am an analyst at heart, though I desire to be more loving and adventurous.)

Growing all the time

I’m continuing to grow and harvest some herbs daily. I am growing peppermint (bought a few months ago as a whole plant), basil, oregano, and parsley. The basil and parsley have been growing like mad, and are quite tall, but as you can see in the photo, the oregano needs help. I’ll dig up the best of these herbs and repot them for indoors before the first frost (though my parsley usually always takes off and grows even better in the winter–though that’s based on Florida weather, not New England, so I won’t push it!

I am still reading Susan Lindauer‘s book, Extreme Prejudice but promise I’ll take a break and begin my new workout regimen: stair climbing! Ha!

I really am laying off the political memes, even though I can laugh at some. I know y’all don’t need to see those from me. And thank you for sticking with me, even when I’ve shared some of those!

Truth can be found on all sides

The reason I teach ways of expanding our consciousness during Integrating the Spirals sessions are to point out that Truth can be found on all sides. And that we can entertain another’s view (at least for a little while), since we know that they’re viewing life from a different perspective (a different location on the mirror ball). We can choose to be empowered or wounded when someone expresses an opinion diametrically opposed to our own. Yet, there is value in Everything (even if we don’t like it on any given day), using the spiral technique we can give ourself the space to find the ‘better feeling thought.’

Meme: “In life’s mirror, we find a reflection of our consciousness. A conscious mind see the world as a mirror, a tool for self-mastery. It embraces both light and shadow, learning from each reflection. Choose to embrace the mirror. Everything is information, offering wisdom or woundedness. As within so without; as above so below. –Unknown

Everything happens for a reason

Yes, Everything Happens for a Reason 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 soar in ’24!

Yours in expanding, growing, spiraling consciousness,

August 29th – Helium huff 4 play and lorem ipsum

It’s August 29th, 2024; We have two original songs for you today! Well, the first one isn’t so much of a song, but a little something Richard created back when we had a music studio on our house–you could use it as a fun phone ring tone or intro to a podcast. I’ve never liked it much, but Richard still howls every time he plays it (often playing it just to make himself laugh)! LOL The second song, Lorem Ipsum, is an ode to writers who do their own content layout (you ‘get it’ if you have ever done magazine layouts, or such). Smooth vocals from Bubba Hudson (who I imagine could barely keep a straight face while singing it). That pro demo was produced by Steven Cooper, Nashville, TN. Enjoy (IN Joy)!

Here’s the two-hundred-forty-second new music post for 2024, as I consistently give everyone reading my blog new music for the intellectually curious or those who just want to have more FUN! (And believe me, before we dive deep into the rest of today’s post, you’ll need a laugh!)

Because I am usually ‘too serious’

I have to mix things up, probably where Integrating the Spirals came from, because I was raised by serious parents to ‘get shit done.’ And while I’m working, focusing on anything–even cooking or washing dishes–I don’t smile. The curse of being a serious person! UGH

I get it. I dig TOO much! I read a LOT of information every day from a variety of sources. Granted, I do tend to read more esoteric stuff than the average person. But I do take it personally when anyone says I’m not informed. I’m simply informed from others that those accusers have never heard of. UGH. I must refer back to my own words, “We all learn at differing rates of speed.” A few screen captures from recent emails that have caught my eye:

Screen capture from email: Vaccine ideology email regarding the “…loss of confidence in doctors and hospitals… and …could it be due to warped vaccine ideology?” –Dr. Peter McCullough (If you want to read more like this, subscribe at: Courageous Discourse with Dr. Peter McCullough and John Leake on Substack

Screen capture from email: “Still unknown what causes neurological complications of COVID-19…” –Journal: Nature Microbiology

Screen capture from email: “…uncovered a series of mutations in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein that enhanced the virus’ ability to infect the brains of mice.” —Journal: Nature Microbiology

I still prefer to know the Truth

I was reading Susan Lindauer‘s book, Extreme Prejudice into the wee hours of the night (which is why I’m posting today’s blog article a bit later in the day). I found the Truth Abides video on X that I’d been looking for yesterday too, if you want to see it:

The Patriot Act stopped whistleblower, Susan Lindhauer, from testifying that Saddam offered the U.S. a peace treaty.

And if you don’t like the X platform (formerly Twitter) or can’t watch the former video for any reason, check this longer video from Susan out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wz36TDMLRkI

And then, check this video (from a different 9/11 whistleblower, FBI staff attorney Coleen Rowley):

And if you’re still with me, here’s one more video today to finish up on the Zuckerberg revelations (big WIN for Free Speech, AND another Conspiracy Theory found to be true!)–at least watch the first 5 MINUTES of this 10 minute video:

Truth can be found on all sides of the mirror ball

The Truth can be weaponized against anyone who, unfortunately, finds themselves on the wrong side of the political party that’s in charge (at the time). This is why it is important to study history and stay abreast of the current political agenda–and keep one’s mouth shut until such time as it’s appropriate to speak. Of course, I’ve never been too good at that! Ha! Though, maybe, after reading Susan’s book, I may have a lot more reason to try! Like Ron White says, I may have the right, not the ability (to remain silent). LOL (I had to find a better feeling thought–as if I don’t laugh, I’d cry).
