Ages Now or Ages Ago?

More dates for the Age of Aquarius
Dear Jonathan,Your colleague suspects we have been in the Age of Aquarius since the fall of Constantinople. The books I read suggest 1987 was the time of change. The Sixties' hippies were 'early'. And if Jesus ushered in a 2,000-year Piscean era, the Aquarian age can only be starting now.Mary

Dear Mary, Christianity notwithstanding, I've long argued against the mooted date of 2046. My money's on the 1780s, when the first hot-air balloons flew. 1453 is a new one on me, as is 1987. But whenever the the New Age kicks in, we will know it.
Taken from Jonathon Cainer.com
What do you think about the New Age? Is it here and now?
Your Metaphysics says; Well 1987 sounds about right to me. Since The Age of Aquarius, is the Age of "I Know!" Consciousness. With PC Computers coming in big time around that time. Nothing seems to be hidden anymore. The Piscean Age, was the "I Feel" Consciousness. Spiritually we are finally understanding the Teachings that were given by the Piscean Age. Thus, "I Know" consciousness seems to have taken over. What do you think?
Vessel of Water pouring down upon us,

miss maro says
i have to agree with your hypothesis. but maybe we're in "i know i feel something but maybe not" consciousness?

Holiday Blues

Not feeling too inspired lately..Those holiday blues have set in. Just have to ride it out. Have a drink and toast those who have come and gone. They have left you joy and tears and a growing desire to praise and honor them. If you were to really look, you could see them standing right next to you especially when you're thinking of them. I was told many years ago in a meditation, first it will come on a machine (computers) to see its manifestation, then you will be able to see without it....vibrating and being able to view it like a hologram with our god given eyes. This may be very much a part of our evolvement as a species. My late husband use to say "Science fiction becomes real. We create with the mind stuff and then it manifests in the physical world." So think good thoughts, enjoy the spirits and the ones who stand beside you while riding out the holiday blues.

"We fly through life forgetting it is not forever. Yet each moment lingers in the desire to make it last. Perhaps it does in some kind of void that is unseen. Our memories are all frozen in time. Our youth etched in our brain never lost. Lives here and now in this aged casing".

A Zen Moment

Hafiz broke his vow and damaged his heart, but now, for no reason, his Friend forgives that, and turns, and walks back up to his door. ~

Hafiz From: 'The Hand of Poetry' Inayat Khan/Coleman Barks

Our Home Party

It was great seeing everyone at Oncology Support Holiday Pot Luck. Of course the playback players were great as usual. There were some very important messages. There is a lot of work to be done; so many going through hard times and still willing to live strong and true. There is joy and sadness, both sides of the same coin, are magnified and supported by each other. Makes one want to escape and get drunk. Yeah ok, so I am not very strong in the face of what is happening. I put on a happy face. But hey the human element is weak and unsure. What is there then one can say here? That's Life? No! Rather the compassion that is stimulated moves us to continue to contribute in whatever way our gifts can, now that is living Life. My heart is filled with all of you.

Dialog with Blog

Strange, it seemed to have happened suddenly. There I was in the midst of some kind of new space. Where trails of loss once were, now the space was filled.. Music, simular, chills and such...familiar ...personal...engaging...am I imagining this? Is it some kind of third kind lapse?....I have those you know. If it is real, then I must say, wow this is new.... cool....I am glad....it has been so long since the night has given way to the noon day sun.

Contemplation

"So much of our lives are unwritten yet stored in the deep dark shadows of our forgotten streams, waiting for us to recognize the brilliance of the truth we may bare witness too".
Don't ask me what it is I am saying....It just comes....could be past lives or streams of consciousness, however you might view it. As I reread these verses I write. I myself am surprised. Perhaps they are to help one move deeper into unknown areas of our being or toward the center that encompasses the whole. Although, I would like to think it has its own personal meaning for everyone who reads them. I serve to inspire.

The Field of Consciousness

The field works as a whole.

It correlates distant events instantly.

It remembers all events.

It exists beyond time and space.

It creates entirely within itself.

Its creation grows and expands in an evolutionary direction.

It is conscious.

"Life After Death", Deepak Chopra

Endless re-created Universe

Without death there can be no present moment, for the last moment has to die to make the next one possible. There can be no present love, for the last emotion has to die to make a new one possible. There can be no present life, for the old cells in my body have to die to make new tissue possible. This is the miracle of creation, which in every second is one thing: Life and death joined in an eternal dance.
To touch the silence of your being, you become the witness.
Rabindranath Tagore said it so movingly.

When I was born and saw the light
I was no stranger in this world
Something inscrutable, shapeless, and without words
Appeared in the form of my mother.

So when I die, the same unknown will appear again
As ever known to me,
And because I love this life
I will love death as well.
from book "Life After Death" Deepak Chopra

Searching Cyberspace

What about the plan? What about meeting in these times? From long long ago, to assist one another on the path toward Awareness and our Truth? How do we abandon these things that was set before we came here. I know I cannot. I will linger as long as I am able. Then when I no longer can. I will think of you and remember the enchantment of bringing the depths of my true self to the surface for my heart and peacefully say, it was all worth it.

Can it be then this searching is only of myself who got lost somewhere in time. Perhaps you know me better then I myself. I know you better then you do. Or maybe I truly do live in illusions. All of you out there, who are you? You are me and I am you. I find myself in you. The part of me who will never be. The shame is the unwillingness to cross the boundaries. What are we afraid of? That we might find ourselves? Our freedom is at stake. So Dream and love and create a better world. That is our greatest purpose. What else is there that we can do here? Feel free to comment.

Birthday Party Boy

He was very calm before his friends arrived. Then they all came at the same time, all 9 boys and one girl. It was total chaos. The sound level was in need of ear plugs. It freaked him out at first, I am sure because he was trying to figure out how he was going to control his posse. He finally gave in and enjoyed the ride. It only lasted 1 1/2 hours, which seemed like 5...yep he is 5 now....he told me I was beautiful, I swear this kid is a genius. haha...Big Lou, Grandma adores you.

Barbara, Bobbie, Mickie, Moira, Pat, Carol and I.
Tonight we experienced the first magical moments in our whole career as visiting Earth Angels...We encountered the most profound Angel of all. Who brought us to our knees in all humility and praises for having touched our lives. She came upon us, as we came upon her and met us with the most precious spirit of the Divine. She revealed to us her reverent plan and we listened to the trumpets blaring and Angels singing, as we stood there, our knees weak in this wondrous amazing Light. We listened as her son praised and supported her life and all she gave to him and his sister. Many of us have seen her on more then one occasion, with a warm smile and grateful for all her blessings. Tonight her words solemn and True the value of her awakening Truth. Her stone the example of her high vibration the "Amethyst". Her son green "Adventurine", sign of the Healer, heart center and her daughter a "White Heart" pure and loving. There is no other way I can share this experience.
Barbara Sarah gave us the greatest example of social work I have ever encountered.

We may not be alone

Once, all heavenly bodies had poetic names. These days, it's a bit dry. The amazing, exploding comet in the North East each evening, for example, is 17P Holmes. 41 light years further away, there's a star called 55 Cancri. These are not exotic titles but the objects they represent are pretty special. 55 Cancri has several planets orbiting it and though none, yet, has turned out to be 'Earth like', a new discovery now makes it more likely that a world like our own may soon be found. Perhaps the comet portends proof, at last, that we are not alone.

Sundays Bike Ride

We went to the Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck, bike in hand, riding and pushing up to the tower. One mile and 5 total...there and back. Took 17 minutes...average speed 6 miles an hour, peak was 14 miles an hour. Took 16 minutes to climb up and 1 minute to come down...Which the ride down was worth the climb up..oow weee. Flying down the rocky rough leaf covered path. Ok we are the thrill seekers. haha. We also met up with other outdoors people from our little corner of Kingston. Diane, Kathy and several other hikers.
Then we decided to continue somewhere behind Super 8, path to 209...well this was another challenging experience. rough and narrow bumpy path that was only 4 miles there and back, but felt like 10 ....Another experience once completed, will never have to do again. We are a narily group of thrill seekers. Purnima was initiated and now we can just cruise onto widely used rail trails....
The whole afternoon was only 3 hours of new and untried trails....We were young again for a while...Till now as I care for my aching body.....Still it was worth it. Diana, Purnima and I...are 3 different spices....who supported one another on the trails of life.

Dia De Los Muertos All Souls Day Too

By celebrating those who came before you, you celebrate your part in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Honoring those who made your life possible is a wonderful way to acknowledge our debt to death.

Life is But a Dream
What do you think? In Mexico, today is Dia De Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead). This two-day event honoring those who have passed on, dates back 3,000 years - but it almost didn't survive the Spanish settlers! The problem? Instead of fearing death, the indigenous people of Mexico embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. Unable to quiet the revelers, the new Spanish government eventually compromised and the festivities were moved to November 1 and 2 to coincide with the Catholic All Saints and All Souls Day celebrations.Are you fully awake in your life?

UFO's

UFO sighting in 1964. An unidentified flying object was photographed by a government employee over the Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico in 1964. My late husband Harry and I saw the same thing in June 1981. In Frankfort, Pa. . Warren Light Center during Solitice, 4 o'clock AM. Watched it move across the sky then disappearing before our eyes.

While descending an Austrian mountain in 1954, photographer Erich Kaiser captured an image of what he called mysterious silvery-white flying objects.

Auras

I saw a Pink Aura today. To me it says innocent and pure as a child. She was recieving the blessings of the healing atmosphere. It was nice and clear. When thoughts of concern for self or negative thoughts come about, flashes of dark cloud like blobs float out of the head area. Be careful of your thoughts and change it for it could affect your beautiful Aura. It did not affect hers, the pink was very strong and clear. She had spiritual staying power with all the support in the room. Energy is an awesome thing.

I also saw a White Aura on a healer while he was being of service today. They say when you see a White Aura, follow him or her. Father Bruni ... I do follow. Follow as in following his example and his words of wisdom. He is powerful yet humble. He praises the Earth and all who are a part of it. He brings love to dis-ease and uses it as a tool through joy for life and gratefulness. These are the qualities of a White Aura.

Wondering?

Well I suppose your wondering why this blog is titled "Your Metaphysics", with all the posts being about personal family experiences. Well, it is like this. Years ago when I decided to give up practicing metaphysics my light began to go out. With many months of contemplation, complete changes and a bit of trauma. I discovered what I really was giving up on, was "Life". This is my life and yours. How do we view it is what is important. Within it are many secrets of perception and how we choose to view it. "I am always looking for the "La La" in life".

Weekend to Remember

Our family is a Circus Rink, our performance is far beyond question. People stand in awe at the freedom and chaotic venue. We brought life to a VW Car Dealership. Perhaps a out of the normal Status Quo, kind of life. The Atmosphere was fun and light and funny and very strange at times. My Grandson was pushing his car in and out of the dealership. My daughter was doing a photo shoot and documenting everything that was happening. Shooting my daughter in law, Laurel doing the transaction. In between posing over cars and rushing the salesman into figuring out the figures. While getting certification, so detailing will be taken care of. It all started with Jeremy running up to meet our car in the driveway. Saying your my customer, you have a dirt bike on the top of your car. A professional Bike Rider. We gave him ideas of what we were looking for. While laughing about the"Drive through car dealership. haha..That is when it all began. We found her sitting there, my little Jetta baby. Who was not certified. Lets put it this way, it was the fastest deal ever made in the history of car sales, for a car that was not for sale. We had a list of places we were going to see. Then I said to myself. "Let the Universe guide us". We pulled into the first dealership we saw. It was not on our list. It was wild and crazy and wonderful beginning, of a two day excursion into Kingston, Saugerties and Catskill and Rhinebeck and Apple picking. Louis and all of us had the time of our life. Only Gianni was missed. We had this great big love in. I am truly Blessed! I am most grateful to my beautiful Laurel Wells. Who is the other daughter my Harry and I wanted to have in our wonderful crazy family. Thank you to our great Universe.

She is Gone from Me

She is gone from me oh oh Tragedy! Well I am alive and well oh oh VW for Sale. Yep! I have a new love now.
I totaled my Volvo and I walked away. Thank you God! Life is an Adventure, Jetta style.

I have had my fill this week and last. I gotta love it. Good way to get it all out, all that passionate stuff that dancers have. haha.

Marilyn, Carol, Ujjala and me. "I Woke up chuckling about the serious look on Carol's face". haha. I wonder if anyone took pictures. If my mother and her friends can do it. So can we in 2007. It is all about the dancing. A night to remember.

Senior Prom Sept. 28 2007

I went to the Senior Prom on Friday. Sponsored by Benedictine Hospital. Coordinator Ujjala Schwartz. Although once again without dates. What is very appealing is, A 15 piece band, food and a wonderful bunch of women from our Smart Bells Class.
It was really a blast from way back past. Like World War II. Great food, great company. Ujj got them to play Jailhouse Rock. I danced slow dances and fast. haha. Carol and I did a slow dance. Marilyn and I, laughed so hard we were holding our stomach afterwards. Carol was very serious about it. She loves to dance at all costs. There was Marilyn and Carol sad about not making King and Queen. We danced slow alone at times. We jammed harder then the band did. But we did not care. I think we wore them out with our requests. Carol and I did a waltz. haha. A jitter bug to "In the mood." Ujjala and I did the polka which I could not finish, carol took over. haha. Marilyn, Carol and I finished off the night with a choirs line for "New York, New York. We definately made it a night to remember. Wild and Crazy Women. Thank you God! "Let the Good Times Roll." We will all be walking funny tomorrow but oh tonight it was worth it.

Biking and Celebrating Life

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. We were given T-shirts, water bottles, numbers to pin on our backs. Plenty of food. There was Me, Sarah, Felicia, Diana, Jean and Yvonne, from oncology support and Mr.Dee and his family were there. Music from Wolf radio DJ's. We had a great time. With a police escort. It was so much easier then when Barbara Sarah and I rode the 5 miles the day before. The cars did not have to dodge around us. haha. We had Cheering sections along the way. Young men and women involved, was very uplifting. Of course, I made them aware while climbing the hills, "NO GEARS GIRLS" while pointing to my bike. haha. Sarah Urech spoke for us as she received a prize for the most money collected from oncology support. Also Jean our new Social Worker won a ski weekend. We had our photos taken unexpected. Diana, Yvonne and I, while standing around talking about genetic testing. We will be in the Kingston Times. Then after plenty of food. Diana and I wanted to go exploring to look for the rail trail. We found one. While riding on it, I said, "The ties are still in this trail..haha. "I don't think this is it." We finally found one behind Super 8..I left her to explore on her own.

Here are some of the words to Caruso's "Te voglio bene" in his Clown's make-up
A painted tear on his cheek. In his famous opera. click on Pavarotti's caruso to hear the song. The song is way to long to give the total English translation.

Te voglio bene assaima tanto tanto bene saie' una catena ormaiche scioglie il sangue dint'e vene sai... English
I love you very much, very, very much, you know, it is a chain by now that melts the blood inside the veins, you know…

Potenza della liricadove ogni dramma e' un falsoche con un po' di trucco e con la mimicapuoi diventare un altroMa due occhi che ti guardanocosì vicini e veriti fanno scordare le paroleconfondono i pensieri. English he sings

The power of opera, where every drama is a hoax; with a little make-up and with mime, you can become someone else. But two eyes that look at you, so close and real, make you forget the words, confuse your thoughts...

What is it all, when all is told

This constant striving for fame or gold.

The fleeting joys, the bitter tears,

We are only here a few short years,

Nothing our own but silent past,

Loving or hating, nothing can last!

What is it all but a passing through,

A cross for me a cross for you.

Our burden seems heavy,

While others seem light

But God in the end, makes all things right!

He tempers the wind with such loving care,

He knows the burdens each can bear,

Then He changes life's gray

into heavenly gold

Ah! That is all, when all is told!

To be proper is to be rigid. To be free is to relax. How does one balance the two? Exit right.

What are dreams made of? Like snow balls and cotton candy they melt in your mouth. Could be the moment is enough.

click on [Pavarotti] Dici che il fiume
trova la via al mare E come il fiume giungerai a me Oltre i confini e le terre assetate Dici che come fiume come fiume L'amore giunger L'amore E non so pi pregare E nell'amore non so pi sperare E quell'amore non so pi aspettare [English translation:]

You say that the river finds the way to the sea
And as the river you'll come to me Beyond the borders and the thirsty lands You say that as a river As river Love will come Love,
And I cannot pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore

Omega Institute

What a great day for Healing, Relaxing and Laughter. Cool breezes by the Lake was the highlight for me. What a view I had. I kept it all to myself, except Barbara with eyes closed, wanted a blow by blow discription. There he was sitting by the edge of the Lake. Kept getting up and sitting down. And drying off. Then suddenly he stood up and wrapped a towel around his waist and began taking off his bathing suit underneath the towel. He turned around towards us as he begin to put his long pants on. Didn't you know the towel opened a bit, oh yes! I got a peek. haha..As he headed up from the Lake across the lawn, our eyes met and I said to him "Thank You". haha..He had this big grin on his face. I really love making men feel good. haha.

Hare Krishna by Steve Perry

In response to the Secret: on this page cursor down.
I am Sure you know this already: "What we admire in others is nothing but a projection of the parts we have "lost" by repressing them. What we envy or hate - it's just the same".
Its Krishna's birthday today. Could be a very good day to celebrate by going within to encounter some of them. Whatever we may fear, they're all good to meet, because they are all a part of us, and we have been less whole without them. They're sure to be much less grouchy for finally being acknowledged. The chance to talk with us. They have had to wait most of a lifetime. For being able to tell us, after so long banished to the wilderness, their truths and their journey - and ours! How we managed to loose them. And why?
Yep, that is bound to help them feel good. No wonder they have been a bit troublesome, having been treated like that!
So here's to wholeness and self-acceptance to mark this special day.
Hare Krishna!

Holiday Date

photo by Maro








Weekend with Big Lou. Painted hands on shirts. I will probably frame. Finding a feather by the doorway between two trees in the backyard near the imagined circle, where we will sit and tell stories some day. Bopping to Elvis. "I like this music grandma". Laughing so hard while practicing his flash cards. Yelling WOO WOO at the top of our lungs, while sitting in the front of the boat getting splashed by the waves. Watching a huge crab getting saved. Lou looking out for me so I don't step on rusted debre. Huffing and Puffing on the Sand dune hike. Soccer on the ocean shore. Digging in and feeling our toes in the sand. Breathing in the salt air. Hearing his words gently upon my ear, "I love you Grandma". The best date I ever had. Big Lou really knows how to show a girl a good time. Thank you my Love, my Life. Oh yeah, Perry and Laurel were there too. haha. Thank you for the great Holiday.
