Foot Spas, Blackbirds And Reincarnation

[poliphilo]

1. Ailz acquired a foot spa off Freecycle the other day. We went and picked it up and the man who handed it over at the door called me, "my man" twice in the course of thirty seconds. In the far off and long ago "my man" was how rich men in wind-up motor cars addressed  simple, smock-wearing country folk when they had to stop and ask them for directions. It was patronising to the point of insult. Coming from a scruffy-looking bloke in a council house it presumably has other connotations- but I can't say I liked it much.

I just topped the spa up with nearly-boiling water from the kettle. Ailz seems to be enjoying herself. There are bubbles.

2.The blackbirds who nest in our ivy have successfully raised one brood this summer and are now raising another. This makes me happy. One cannot have too many blackbirds.

3. Michael Newton- author of Journey of Souls-  says we enter into a covenant not to remember past incarnations when our souls return to earth. We have lessons to learn- and it's better we start with a clean slate.  Our responses will be fresher if events surprise us-  and the task will seem more urgent if we don't realise we have lives to burn. Yes-  fair enough-  but to know what I was is to know who I am- and I'm finding it really frustrating to be kept in the dark.

Tony, I deleted my Isaiah 55 comment, which felt kinda weird and from-the-long-ago-past to me--something I'd written down back, paraphrasing when I was thinking about all the things Bobby had told me.

It's been a long time.

If I was supposed to do something with my life, well, it's been many years since, and--nothing.

Makes me feel ashamed and depressed. How exciting it was to glimpse the possibilities! And now to see how little I've done.

Oh, well, ten thousand more lives and I'll get something right. Maybe.

I'm sorry you deleted the Isaiah. It was lovely.

What makes you think you haven't lived up to that promise? I think your friends would say otherwise.

Please don't run yourself down. You are one of the most beautiful people I know. Truly you are.

Love,

Tony

Why, thank you so much.

And you have given me much to think about with Newton.

I'm still not certain about him, but he's very interesting--one thing: do other hypnotists also have these results? Seems like there would be some similarities!

He takes his subjects into a deeper state of hypnosis than is usually the case. Others using the same technique- like the therapist Alice went to- get similar results.
