PHILOSOPHICAL DEBBIE ....

“When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life … now … and come to face the truth of yourself. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected.” - Sogyal Rinpoche

I love this quote. Those readers and friends who know me personally know that I am utterly and completely obsessed with death. Near-death experiences in particular. All things supernatural, mystical, metaphysical and unexplainable are right up my alley. Everything from apparitions of the Blessed Mother to alien abduction stories I'm there.

I think I have read every book there is to read on the subject of near death experiences from those who study it to those who have experienced it. A fantastic site you might want to check out: http://www.near-death.com/. (If you really want to check out something spectacular, Google Reinee Pasarow's near death experience. It's a video you can watch as this woman tells of her near death experience ... FASCINATING). In all of my reading I have come to realize that almost every religious belief has a belief in some sort of afterlife. This is not surprising. What is surprising is that they are all very similar. Scripture refers to God as light. The near death experience … is all about the light. It beckons and pulls us toward it, to merge with it in an explosion of love that is, as NDE’s describe it, indescribable. The experiencer does not want to return to his body or this earth and many who have experienced this event have attempted suicide upon their return to their physical bodies just to try to go “back there.”

Christians believe that when we leave the earth and meet our maker and we will be made to account for our lives and be “judged”. NDE’s report that there is no “judge” … we will judge ourselves. When I reflect on this scripture:
Matthew 7:16
“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. This scares the hell outta me. This realization helps me to evaluate and examine myself all the time. And if I could experience anything in life it would be a near-death experience. Those who have had an NDE have no fear of death and are changed completely when they return to their bodies. They live lives that are dedicated to helping others, loving themselves, and having empathy for all living things. I love that. It would seem that you really could have Heaven on earth if everyone either (a) had this experience, or (b) tried to live as if they had. Regardless of your religious affiliation, personal philosophy, or even if you're an atheist, kindness and empathy could change the world. Of all the billions of dollars that are spent on making wars, sustaining wars, encouraging wars, or promoting wars, if those billions of dollars and negative energy were spent on loving actions that helped the suffering, the hungry and educating the young ... well, it's almost limitless what mankind could accomplish. And yes, I realize that I probably sound like a head case who cannot see the world as it is ... but that's the point.  Of the many people who were sent here to show us how to live and to change the world, (e.g., Jesus, Martin Luther King, Ghandi ... all were murdered) ... to assassinate Goodness says something about humanity doesn't it.  Everyone thought Jimmy Carter was a joke and an idiot as president.  Maybe he was.  But Jimmy Carter saw politics as a way  " to serve" ... to be a peacemaker in the world. Today, he is a peacemaker. He has built homes for the homeless and is looked to as a great humanitarian.  Now, he is dying.  But what he has done here on earth will bring him honor in God's kingdom.  Love and kindness, empathy and caring are not valued here in this vale of tears where competition, money, position, and ruthlessness and corruption in business and government are viewed with envy and esteem. Could you see Donald Trump facing his maker?

GOD: "DONALD, WHAT DID YOU DO FOR MANKIND?"

Donald: "I made Barak Obama show the world his birth certificate..."
  


I haven't done anything for mankind on a grand scale either. But I think you get the point.
If everyone tried to live consciously, treating others with love and respect in the sphere of our their own little worlds, well .... love could conquer hate.  

I believe that transformation is taking place on the earth ... a shift in consciousness is occurring. Something is happening.  Messages given to children over the ages by the Blessed Mother, ancient hieroglyphs that depict space craft and strange beings visiting and teaching human beings? Drones?  Fish dying in masses?  Bees disappearing?  Fires burning up entire states?  There seems to be more death and destruction and mysterious acts of nature occurring.  The earth is trying to tell us something.  We're screwing everything up.  Today we have life saving methods that can pull people back from death, literally, and we are also destroying our planet little by little.  

All ancient mysteries and spiritual phenomena have meaning.  Quantum physicis and parallel universes are real possibilities.  I think it all has merit and value. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. I am a true Aquarian and it's my time. 

Science and physics ARE GOD. GOD created everything, therefore I totally believe that anything is possible ... but more than anything LOVE CONQUERS ALL.  

So....
 
BE KIND, FOR EVERYONE YOU MEET IS FIGHTING A HARD BATTLE.

WEEK IN REVIEW ....

Saw this headline in Huffington Post.  Just in case any of you are unaware there is a terrible discriminatory practice going round ...

PERIOD SHAMING ...

This brave gal in the middle had trained for months to run this marathon and then ... SHE GOT HER PERIOD.  What to do?  What to do?  She didn't want to run wearing a tampon or a pad so she just decided to make a point against "period shaming" and decided to run the marathon anyway and let the blood flow free.  

UUUGGGGHHHH?!  PERIOD SHAMING??  CHRIST ALMIGHTY YOU MORON NO ONE WOULD KNOW YOU WERE ON YOUR PERIOD IF YOU WORE A FREAKING TAMPON!


                             Everybody wants to be a spokesperson!


NEXT ...

Sharon Stone has gone and done it again.  Posed nude.  


In the article she says .... 

"I'm aware that my ass looks like a bag of flapjacks, but I'm not trying to be the best-looking broad in the world. At a certain point you start asking yourself, 'What really is sexy?' It's not just the elevation of your boobs. It's being present and having fun and liking yourself enough to like the person that's with you. If I believed that sexy was trying to be who I was when I did Basic Instinct, then we'd all be having a hard day today"

Dear Sharon, 

You absolutely KNOW that your ass does NOT look like a bag of flapjacks.  MY ass looks like a bag of flapjacks.  And please be honest.  "Being Present," etc., does not make one "sexy" ... I'm very present and I look like a busted can of biscuits.  Please stop trying to "help" ... you are not one of us.  You only make the rest of us feel suicidal.  Stop it.  Stop it right now.

Thank you.

THE DONALD VS. MEGAN

 

Dear Donald: 

First you talk smack about El Chapo and now you tweet a misogynistic message about Megan Kelly.  Perhaps if someone had tweeted the same ugly words about your daughter Ivanka bleeding out of her various orifices, specifically her "lady" orifice, it might have made a difference in how you perceive misogynistic put-downs. There is a whole laundry list of ridiculous quotes you have uttered over the years and to think for one second that you have the credentials, intelligence, experience, and diplomacy to hold the highest office in the land well, you know it as well as I do, it's laughable. Come on Donald ... you're not a serious candidate. You never have been and you know it. What is it that you want? Just tell us. More seasons of The Apprentice?  For The Miss Universe association to un-fire you?  What?  Just tell us.  Tell us and we will really try to obtain it for you so you can go away and quit embarrassing yourself and us. 

You've become quite tiring.  You have said nothing about what it is that you will do for the nation.  You have no plans, no strategy, no nothing. All you talk about is how freaking rich you are and how you are not politically correct.  Donald ... we can see that.  You aren't politically correct.  You also aren't PRESIDENTIAL.

IT'S OSCAR NIGHT!!!

  Hollywood's big night has arrived!  I've seen a few of the nominated movies.  Barbie - don't know why it was nominated; Americ...
