As usual my muse Knor made me laugh again today.
I honestly wasn't aware that I should be doing something about finding a date for Valentine's Day, but apparently Knor did not agree here: in her own, inimitable way, she found THE opportunity! :-)
I was shopping for groceries in the local supermarket and after I gathered what I wanted to buy, lined up my stuff at the register.
The cashier was not really paying attention, chattering animatedly with passersby and colleagues, in other words too busy to look at what she was doing.
So before I knew it, she had also put cat litter and poached fish for the cat on my grocery bill ...
... (wonder who was responsible for that???) :-)))
Anyway, as the cashier finally noticed what she was doing, she mentioned that I probably would not want to pay for that. But of course knor food and cat litter will be for a cat, right? So I said, well, if I get a personal invitation to meet the cats ... and then turned my head to find that there was a really nice man standing in line behind me... :-) (you see where I had not been paying attention either ... :-)))
Maybe the guy was also somewhere else with his thoughts, as he did not instantly invite me (thereby losing his opportunity to get free fish for his cats!) He did tell me elaborately about his knors though, so that was nice ... :-)
I left with a big grin on my face, enjoying the playful spirit of Knor ...
Certainly way more funny than just bumping into someone with the shopping cart I would say. What do you think?
I'd like to share a very interesting article on the crystalline body. A couple of years ago I started working with the crystalline skeleton. There are techniques using the blue dragon from Tibetan Light Work that enable us to gradually make our skeleton crystalline. Somehow the thought was so appealing to me that I have been working with this concept on a regular basis.
Another interesting factor that is mentioned in this article is how fractals work ... As an artist working with fractals, this interconnectedness between the world of art and the world of healing is very fascinating. Could working with fractals heal the DNA? I put intentions of light and love in the fractals when I work with them. According to this article it needs higher codes of light as well as the influence of sound.
With regards to the aspect of sound, I can recommend Tom Kenyon's dimensional attunement of the pineal glad.
Then the result in 3D would be a different experience of the body and a need for lighter food.
I must say that under the current freezing conditions I have not felt the need yet to give up my favorite stews (not exactly the light food the article is talking about!) ... :-)
Food for thought ...
By the way: the abstract you see above is actually a fractal! :-)
At night the knors are singing their love songs in the back yard ... :-)
Which reminded me that Valentine's Day is not too far away and it would be nice to create some new greeting cards for this beautiful celebration of love and romance ...
This new series is inspired by fractals with a lovely smooth and sensual flow.
If you want to save the environment: there is also a free ecard for Valentine's Day available.
Meantime I am looking forward to new furry purry friends in spring ... :-)
I've always loved books on magical realism. The Belgian writer Hubert Lampo was one of my favorites.
The magical connection is something that is just impossible to resist and it is what keeps life interesting.
This past week I discovered what I believe is a new generation of magical realism.
I read a book by Cecilia Ahern called Thanks for the memories.
A woman has strange memories after a blood transfusion.
It is long known that for instance someone who is vegetarian can suddenly have a craving for burgers after a heart transplant, if the donor happened to be a burger fan. But is the same true for blood transfusions? And would it be as intense as having the exact same experiences as the donor in any given moment in time? In theory this could be true, I don't know if there is research on this topic. Blood cells live shorter than most other cells in the body, but could it be that the information gets stored somehow in the body?
I find it fascinating too that the cellular memory can have a larger impact than the memory we think originates from the brain. Where does that leave the neuroscientists who have found that by activating a certain spot in the brain they can evoke a particular memory?
And say the information from the donor blood cell gets stored in the body. Would it be possible that the receiver gets a certain talent that they did not have before? Could it work positively in a way other than just prolong the life? (or shorten it if you happen to get hepatitis C ...)
From a spiritual point of view organ transplants and blood transfusions call for a lot of questions. Both for the donor and the receiver.
For the donor:
- Do they have to "hang around" until the receiver finally dies?
- Do donor and receiver now share control over the karmic issues, extending into afterlife or next life?
For the receiver:
- What to do with the extra karmic burden of another individual?
- Does it create an obligation for future pay-back and complicated karmic ramifications?
- Does it disturb the life plan as the individual may now be carrying out somebody else's agenda?
Personally I do not choose to be a blood donor/receiver nor do I want to receive nor give organs if the situation may arise. I think life is already complicated enough as it is.
Our government wants us to clearly state whether we want to be organ donors or not. Donating organs would prolong people's lives with current medical expertise. No questions asked about the consequences.
From an empathic viewpoint it is always hard to see someone suffer who could be helped with a donor organ. And yet most people find it hard to be donor or have their loved ones be ripped apart after their death. Also somehow in this society people think they are better off to receive an organ, but are not willing to be a donor. Plain selfish or is there more to it?
In situations of life and death choices can be difficult, as we also see in the discussions on euthanasia. I have not seen these discussions on blood transfusions, and I think they should be held as well. The implications can be very far reaching.
I went to see Amreeka yesterday.
It is always very emotional to me to see the humiliations the Palestinians have to deal with on a daily basis, it really breaks my heart. And then I must say the film was making it as light as one can possibly make this. It is heartwarming to notice how people support each other and stick together in difficult situations, so much love ...
There is an international protest now at the Egyptian border.
During WWII the Dutch did hardly do anything to stop the atrocities against the jews. Out of guild they now help the israelis in all possible ways, thereby making the same mistake again: not doing anything against the Holocaust repeating itself in Camp Gaza.
And with us the rest of the world ...
I am dreaming of a new world ... In it there is also a state called Palestine, where arabs and jews live ... all in peace and prosperity ...
Happy New Year to all.
According to our minister of Interior Affairs, the US has blackmailed the Netherlands to impose full body searches (including fumbling with the genitals) or else there would be no plane able to land on US soil.
I find it highly suspicious that this is the umpteenth time that US intelligence ignores information (11 countries warned about 9/11), it gives the impression that this is a strategy. I guess the Rumsfelds of this world are building this body scan machine? (just like Rumsfeld is behind Tamiflu?)
The next thing we are going to see is that people can also hide weapons inside their body, like the people smuggling cocaine have shown.
Fumbling with somebody's genitals against their will is a crime. Is the next thing that rape is going to be legalized on a large scale at airports? It is already the case for flights from Suriname, so don't hold your breath.
Also: what are they going to do with a woman who has her period and uses sanitary bandages? And what about children? Are they going to be traumatized for life? (I already see the pedophiles lining up for a job at security)
How far are we going in order to have so called "security"? And why is there no questioning about the reasons for these attacks? Do our governments really think they can get away with destroying Iraq and other countries without consequences?
Just last week in one evening in Amsterdam there were over a hundred car accidents. In comparison flying is so safe.
However, with the measures that are taken now, one will think twice about taking a plane, especially across the pond.
It's very disappointing that Obama turns out to be the Bush administration, term 3.
A couple of years ago I had a time travel experience (IN body!). I was driving with a friend in the Netherlands, when we suddenly found ourselves far in Germany, close to Oberhausen. This happened spontaneously. I think the time has come we learn how to master this skill, traveling deliberately to the destination we want and also be able to travel back when and if we want. As far as I know yogis who have practiced for years master these skills, but maybe with the changes in frequencies there will be new ways to learn how to do this. At least we have a great incentive now! Let me know if you know of somebody who can teach this! :-)
Knor just loves my latest efforts to learn to play keyboard. In addition to the fun of stepping on a regular computer keyboard, she now also gets the sound effects! :-)
And what is more fun on Christmas Eve than to learn how to play Silent Night ... :-)
Unfortunately our play is not up to a standard that I can let you hear what we are doing yet ... :-)
I have been meditating several hours a day lately and it is listening to my heart that resonates with the music ...
And this is a good time to listen to our hearts ... (always!!!)
Anyway, we hope you are warm and safe and wish you a beautiful and heartwarming time! :-)
