Hello People,
I want to add a new series on this blog called ''Conversations With''.....whomever it is I think the conversation may be worthy of reading by others.
I believe these express what so many real-feeling-humane-beings feel but are not able to because they don't have that kind of understanding person in their lives, or people simply don't want to express these things for fear of all kinds of judgements.
I am over those concerns as you know.
And I am having conversations with another who ''gets'' everything I have to say and this is priceless.
With his permission I will post here some things I think others should hear and hopefully inspire others to also speak their minds.....the good people are just too silent......and for many valid reasons, but still.....too silent. There is wisdom being strangled in the gut of those caught up in WTF?, but lets coax it out and let it be heard.
I invite others to speak too.
Conversations:
Hi Serena,
I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad you told me that you struggle with dark depression every day. I sensed this, but you confirmed it for me. I too struggle with it every day. It can be like a dark heavy thick blanket of gloom that sits on me or lies on top of me that stifles any interest in living. And it takes an almost super human effort to resist this. Sometimes I don't have the energy to fight against it, but most of the time I succeed.
I see now why you are an artist in everything you do. You HAVE TO. I have been falling down in that area for quite a while, but I see now that I can't allow myself to indulge in not caring.
This brings to mind a thing that Don Juan told Castaneda. The Four Enemies of Mankind:
1 FEAR
2 CLARITY
3 POWER
4 OLD AGE
1, 3 and 4 are easily understood. But CLARITY is a tougher one to grasp. CLARITY is arrived at by a person who has done exactly what we have done, to explore, to dig into the secret workings of life and to discover the forces that are manipulating and influencing our lives beyond our conscious control. As you and I well know, this kind of delving into the dark corners of this 'existence' can be very frightening, disturbing and most of all it can cause a sense of futility at being able to run our own lives. And with it can come a sense of not being able to do anything about it, of even a sense of complacency.
What is necessary at this point is for one to become a WARRIOR. To be impeccable. To stand against these forces and say NO YOU CAN NOT KILL MY SPIRIT!
We have to bolster ourselves in every way we can.
We are not allowed to indulge in defeat, even unto death. This is what you are doing every day. And this is what I need to be doing every day.
I probably do have more resistance to the dark information than you do, since I have been doing this much longer than you have. But you are right in saying that dwelling in these dark thoughts can color our consciousness to the point that it becomes almost impossible to rise above it.
The Serenity Prayer comes to mind:
Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to know the difference.
But for you and I and other Aquarians our consciousness goes beyond just our personal selves. We see the entire human race and all living things as deserving of a better way of living. Therefore our desire to make conditions better is expanded to everyone and every living thing.
This is a self imposed idea, but we still embrace it, even if only in our thoughts.
That's pretty much all I have to say at the moment, but I wanted you to hear it.
I appreciate you more than I can say.

I found out way too much on the internet yesterday. I have posted two links which I found, which I just posted on the previous blog post. It is disconcerting to find out just how diabolical the world governments are, yet I would rather know about it than to stick my head in the sand and not know. What has been being done to Mother Earth for the past 70 is going to be backfiring sooner than later. The two sites I found says it all quite bluntly, with scientific data, not just conspiracy theorists running off at the mouth. This is very real people. The scientists are scared, they are being shut up by the government, and there are not too many sites which explain this dire consequences of what the last 70 of industrialization and nuclear testings have contributed to the demise of life forms which we are sees in the news on a daily basis. This is real, not just some concocted doomsday warning. Terrible things are happening to the Earth as I type this. Hold on to your hats folks! We are in for a really big ride! All I can say is pray, be at peace, as we are tomorrows people. This Earth will go through a transformation which, God, the Creator will have to intervene to clean up the mess man has made. It will be difficult, but like many are already experiencing, they 'feel' the transformation coming soon. And it won't be easy, but necessary to rid the universe of the evil, which Love does conquer all. Love is the binding force, for God is pure Light, and pure Love. There is hope when all is said and done. There will be plagues, there will be famines, there will be continued wars, as man is bent on destruction. Those of us who bear the Light have to stand firm in our faith, and wait for the deliverance which will come. Hang in there!
