compassion fatigue

wandering down Granville Street on the way home from work and there are more poor people than ever with the truly desperate look in their eyes---I know from my work the effects of this government's policies of no longer including eyecare in health care so people can't even see to get a job, of not giving any bus passes so people don't have transportation to get a job or education or find housing etc. This is a government, supported by the majority of B.C.ers apparently, who as far as I can tell, think that helping people is for the weak; it's throwing good money away, wasting it on the undeserving. Who are the real losers?
As I know well from my work there are compassionate and helpful, hardworking people among the poor and desperate and there are people who have nothing going on but their own self-interest and that's usually misguided (just like this government's policies are---creating far more problems by not dealing with them).
How can I survive in such a world without being consumed by frustrated rage at the selfishness, or having my heart torn out at the needless suffering?
And aren't these questions as common as the dust?
and lead inevitably to the question---does g-d exist, and if g-d exists, how can such suffering exist? But imagine g-d is a verb, not a thing, but "a great illimitable happening" ;therefore, compassion is always being, must be being created anew as part of the nature of g-d
/godding/godessingg/godsing. And any lack of compassion on our part is simply dis-ease in the body of g-des.
If we help each other to move out of suffering then we are creating the milk of human kindness which is a part of the compassion of All that Is. We can't solve the need to create compassion, we might not even be able to eliminate poverty, we can only respond to the need in the best way that we can...

5th dimension travel cuts

if we think of this space/time as a moving conveyor belt than stepping onto another one by changing our angle slightly is traveling fifth dimensionally... sometimes the juncture is so smooth we don't even notice, sometimes we have to consciously change our attitude (beliefs/reaction) so that our angle of approach to the runway changes and instead of being stuck in a fog we can take off for our true destination.
yes, the conveyor belt just became a runway; hey sisters and brothers this is star travel we are talking about (5 dime/pentagon time)
ever have a blow-out with someone you love, and then you get uplifted some way, just like the clouds clearing, and later you look back and wonder what that was all about---that version of reality doesn't even seem likely or believeable anymore. Or your luck suddenly changes, or could be what seemed to be a deadend suddenly opens up into a new vista, it's all 5 time. What happened could be you got picked up while hitch hiking, a little cosmic grace ride, or maybe you or someone close to you provided the wings.
5th dimensional travel---the shortcut to where you want to be

What to wear

With a white linen suit, I am very tempted to wear a large round summer sunhat---perhaps I shall, for lunch. Otherwise, I think a veil, not for the veiling effect but to trail down the back of my hair.
I still haven't figured out how to solve the need for gold and jewels to wear in order to complete the outfit...
I think I shall have to ask my Mother.

This proves that I can write an utterly mundane blog despite the angels whirling round in my mind---the most important thing is that my soul and my mind should expand themselves to be large enough for me to be fully present in, and to do that I truly need to understand what a present this is to myself.

The theme of my most recent blogs seems to be reminders I need to post to myself, but they may serve for others to bat around too.

there are angels like giant bears at the root of the arth

Well, you know what I mean don't you? One of the things I love about this is that there are people who have learned the frequency (vibration voice range/ sounds) to communicate with them; I notice, however, that some of the people I've heard who can do this seem to have no idea what they are doing and do it just because it sounds cool. Wonder what would happenif we really learned to talk

Ive always claimed my face looks better if viewed in more than three dimensions; likewise, if you ask me, my life makes very little sense seen from the point of view of only four dimensions
---give me five as the bare minimum if you want to try to understand what on earth I am up to!
In my experience, we are all living more that one life at once

debate with geisha guygirl

having a debate with an acquaintance of mine who works as a "geisha" about what is or isn't degrading (she says it's her friends comments that her work is degrading that are degrading to her) leads me to the conclusion that what matters is whether you are doing something of your own free will. And I say we must all become Defenders of Our Free Will or we cowardly succumb to doing everything else.
I publish this as a reminder to myself... and hereby award myself an initiation to the Order of True Love (because what we truly all want to do of course is what we love).
