Dear Readers, The other day I read that having a single thought is gratitude. Just thinking is gratitude. Breathing, moving, reading, talking, thinking, writing, all, are about gratitude. If you ponder it long enough, you begin considering gratitude as a way to care for all other life forms—living things pulsing Universal energies—just like you and me! This ezine reminds us of our aspirations and inspirations and magnificent achievements that better our human experience, although it appears we’re not soon to deviate from sacrosanct hyper-commercialized corporate, media-instilled norms. So… Get FascinatedI think you ought to feel absolutely fascinated with yourself! Don’t you sometimes find yourself wholly influenced by your audacious powers of observation and intuition? Consider Staying Awake an intrusive hornet, buzzing around your head with this idea in mind: To remind us that observing and endorsing our intuitive capacities ought to rise to the top of our priority list for ‘Get to know yourself, please.’ If you’ve said yes to any of those questions, you understand thinking and feeling astonishment is the same thing. Also, we often forget the energies swirling around and inside our physical bodies are parts of the energies that have kept our species alive for millions of years. Compose a one-second thought that can serve you when you experience an intuitive moment of “Surprise!” Now here’s a novel idea to declare when those surprising nudges catch you off guard. Say: ‘Thank you. I am fascinating!’ That’s it. A gentle, loving message to yourself is all you need as your body continues to perform its genius so you can read to the finish of this sentence. Indispensable TechnologiesOur physical bodies—walking, talking, thinking human beings—are really geological formations. Earthlings are sentient sticks with legs roaming around Planet Earth out of which we were birthed. Common indispensable technologies are not the only ways we Earthlings observe and study things in and on our planet home. Let’s look deeper. Samplings of other relevant technologies are thinking, feeling, intuiting, language, human behavior, storytelling. (I ask you, what is not storytelling?) The technologies listed above are ways Universe observes itself and expresses itself in creations of animals. (Animals include humans, too. You likely remembered that already, eh?) Several months ago, I watched a movie for television that might be worth your time. It’s not a religious play as its title infers, but, when the words of the title are spoken in the play, the moment is very touching for the two characters. Together, they had accomplished their goal through indispensable technologies of intuition and medical science. Something the Lord Made tells the emotional story of two men who defied industry’s rules by launching a revolution set against a backdrop of the Jim Crow South. Researching in the 1940s at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, the play presents the men’s collaborated research and application of a procedure known as cardiac surgery—something the Lord made—for repair of the human heart. Dr. Alfred Blalock (portrayed by Alan Rickman), and his assistant, Mr. Vivien Thomas (Mos Def), used their intuitive genius, creative energies, messages from dreams, education, delicate physical skills, and a surgical tool invented by Vivien to finally bring forth an art called bypass heart surgery on blue babies. (As a result, presently, some 1,750,000 bypasses are performed, annually.)
Blalock intelligently braved confronting a doctrinal myth within the systemic medical industry; a myth out of which centuries of surgeons had been trained not to touch the heart. Yes, you read that correctly: Surgeons could not touch the heart. (If I understood the script, the Latin term for ‘do not touch’ is nolitangere.) Can you imagine the heart not touchable? I declare! Is there yet another metaphor needed to comprehend Earthlings’ pathology, an illusory separation from our hearts, physical bodies’ feelings, and intuitive senses? Today, we are remembering we were created one with everything extant by awakening to and expressing reproach for embedded masculine generated, schizoid repressions. On behalf of all popcorn-brained masculine dominated industries of the world, excuse me while I run outside and set my hair on fire, again! Empathy for Earthlings’ magnificence and for our seeming dilemmas frequently reminds us of how we’ve been trained to separate the partnership of our heart and brain. With advances being made these days, I would if I could place a handsome chunk of dollars on the spinning wheel of fortune in favor of the indispensable technologies and psychic abilities of the exquisite unpraised pumper! Just for Fun
