PARADISE BECKONS

We have a break from the frigid weather. It has been windy and cold the last three days, today the breeze is moderate and it is warmer 30 F, which is even higher than the forecast.

The chickens came out for the first time since Monday. I saw them out a couple hours ago and then just a few minutes ago I was looking for them, I couldn't see them, I thought they went back inside. I walked around the house looking out all the windows and I spotted them on the edge of the shelter belt. Chickens don't like snow especially if it comes up to their shanks. Despite the blizzard conditions Monday Night, it was brief, and there wasn't much accumulation. It was probably the cold and wind as well as the snow that kept them in the last three days.

I just saw the sheep wending their way across the North pasture. They pause now and then where a clump of grass emerges from the snow and paw and eat a bit. I need to put a fire under my hay man, what I am feeding them isn't top grade. They would actually find enough digging through the snow in the pasture. They have made it clear, however, they prefer me to feed them.

We don't care very much for the newer television shows but we do like to listen to some oldies in the Evening. However, we hate the commercials! About a week ago, it seems longer, the remote that controls the sound [mute and volume] went on the fritz.

We are too old to jump up and down every time a commercial comes on, besides the buttons on the sound bar are recessed and we need a flashlight to see them. Gone are the days when we had a child that could be trained to be a mobile remote, besides those rascals need to be in bed too early and the older kids tend to get rebellious when it quits being fun.

So we have been have been learning much more than we wanted to about prescription drugs besides a whole lot more. Those drugs, wow, I can't believe people actually pester their doctors for them. They must somehow blank out the side effects. Some say, “sudden death may occur.” That would discourage me. Are there people that are not active mute pushers? I can't imagine people listening to these commercials. Some of the none drug commercials are funny and some very clever. Before my remote broke we listened to some we knew were well written and well acted.

Those drug commercials though, all that I can say is wow again, they appear to be the dark side of medicine.

We wait everyday for the new remote that will come by mail, UPS, Fedex or whatever.

I don't know how to talk about the world. Everything we see in the media seems to be a smokescreen hiding what is really happening. We discover that and then we discover what we thought might be some truth and it is more cover. The real scenario will come out bit by bit. I think it will be shocking.

What is happening in the financial world may be a little easier to access. There is no real financial news in the main stream media. The economy has not been improving. The real wealth of the working and middle class has steadily declined since the 70s and has taken a steeper decline since 2008. The stock market rise does not reflect the economy, even of the Corporate World. Corporate profits are way up, but that is all due to the free money available through the Fed. Quantitive Easing they call it, the Fed quit doing it a couple years ago, but other World Banks took over. This is money that is only a number on a computer. It creates giant IOUs that some miracle will take care of. The only thing that can save it is for real wealth to grow, real production. It isn't happening. The stock market going up is not healthy. The only thing that could save us is for all that extra Wall Street money to be divided up and given to the poorest 70% of the population. In our present consciousness that is not likely to happen. Historically the world looks a lot like 1929 only worse. Then too, the top 1% were hogging all the money.

We are just spectators watching the empire crumble. It is not a bad thing. It all has to go. We know what a sane world look like. We know how to help it emerge.

It all starts in our minds, “Are we choosing love or fear?”

The world that is passing was created out of fear, that is what separation is, fear and all its children.

We know how to Love. Paradise beckons!

Have a Great Friday! Celebrate!

Love and Peace, Gregg
