I was speaking with a woman the other day who described herself as metaphysical. Now mind you, I had only gotten to know this woman just within this month and I was very impressed with her life and what she had done with it, and when she described herself as metaphysical I liked that too because I too have a keen interest in knowledge that is transcendent and reality that is beyond what is perceptible to the senses. <\/p>\n

The other day, I picked up another copy of The Power of Now<\/em> after mailing my copy to a friend (it was the second time a male friend had suggested I read this book). I underlined a passage about God and what the word actually means. Tolle says the word has become empty of meaning through thousands of years of misuse – by people who have never glimpsed the sacred and by people who argue against it, as if they knew what it is that they are denying. <\/p>\n

I liken my grasp to believing that we all come from one black woman – the mitochondria cell and in that derivation, we are all intertwined and connected that to think her suffering is not your own is a casualty of modern thought. I’m more and more impressed by people who see this connecting tissue, through all of us, and how they have vamped or revamped their life to focus in directions that acknowledge this chain of Being. <\/p>\n

So when this woman said I’m metaphysical, I thought damn right you are, and so am I, by the way. Then I saw my friend Mudd<\/a> post something about Cauldrons and Cupcakes<\/em> again and I checked out the post<\/a> and was moved by it. I’ve been back into meditation and I am feeling myself held in a golden light most mornings as I start my day – it has made a lot of what has happened and is happening seem minor and insignificant in context. <\/p>\n

The people that are moving into my life are tipping me into a new consciousness that is making a lot of what came before seem absurd and trite. Right now, if you are not working on healing people, helping, healing this planet, yourself, you are not working on much I find compelling. <\/p>\n

An ex client reached out to me and we had a back and forth email discussion. She said: <\/p>\n

I recently went through my Linked In contacts, and counted off anyone who was unemployed, under-employed, or CEO\/founder of a pseudo-business (i.e., open for business, but not really IN business). <\/p>\n

I counted about 100 \/ 400 — 25%. And I think I’m pretty ‘normal’; which means that the economic drag from this highly educated \/ former high earners generation is going to be more far reaching than any policy-maker realizes. We have lots of company, and we’re going to create a big drag on the economy for years to come!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now if all of these over-educated, out of work folks could began working on healing and helping matters, just think how that energy could rock our world. <\/p>\n

Fud for Thot. <\/p>\n
