State of the Garden (February)

I found my old camera and took some proper photos. Here you go. Betcha never saw celery in its natural habitat -- you know, out of the grocery store.

Also shown here are arugula (one flowering and lots of others), two types of lettuce, swiss & rainbow chard, bluebonnets (not yet bloomed), cilantro (a little wild), rosemary, and my greenhouse which I cleaned up for Spring.


Spring time

Spring time is here! Well, as far as I am concerned. My garden is still alive and the weather is beautiful. Time to plant!

Here are the tomatoes I saved from last crop. I did this last season as well and they all came up and produced fruit. Awesome!

I will try to take more pictures this year as the garden develops with a better camera (just pulled it out of the closet 'cause I am sick of this broken camera phone), but this will have to do for now.

I also planted potatoes and transplanted some extra lettuce plants to give away. Maybe I'll do more blow by blows in the future if I can remember. It is fun to look back like a little scrapbook.

Good luck on whatever you plant whether in gardening or life.



The Mask of Money

Money is part of the scene.

What do I mean by the scene?

The scene is the moving frame of your unified life. And what is your unified life? What is UNITY?

UNITY, in this context, is the unification of all of your experience. This includes your five senses, your thoughts, your feelings, your emotions, definitions, meanings, memories, the ideas of others or others themselves, the world or universe or space that is unseen to you, your senses of intangible or "subtle" things like time, distance or movement, the relationships between all of these things — everything that occurs in your “qualia.” There are no exceptions.

You may have a problem understanding unity if you make arbitrary exceptions for tough concepts like people ("The Other"), or the agency these people possess, or their memories or their influence or impact on your life. Other tough ones can include nature itself and your bodily health.

Nothing can be exempted. Nothing. OK? Nothing. Not even nothing itself.

Money is not something you can pursue or acquire. You are not in the scene.

You cannot possess it, anymore than it can possess you. You cannot separate, or divide, something without fundamentally changing its nature which is always whole.

Should you dedicate yourself to the acquisition of money, you have fallen off of your throne in order to become part of your scene, rather than the director of that scene. I call this fixation and some beliefs call it density. Other philosophies may measure it in terms of wisdom or a scale of harmony or balance you hold within as you become more actualized and are able to distinguish where you truly reside.

Once you become part of the scene, then the scene becomes your director and you have lost your power. The harder you commit to being part of the scene, the more entangled and dependent you will become. This entanglement hides the path to your true



Feeling good.

Let's get some historical records going in here and see where we are next year.

2-8-5 -- I say, I haven't aged a day.

A little on Starseeds

Okay, this is going to be a way different type of article.

I love stones & crystals and I am using them also as an excuse to research & talk about Starseeds a little bit -- so I am going to gather up some information as a way of educating both myself and you reader!

This article will not address the characteristics of different Starseeds, as it is a subject matter with surprising depth and that just isn't the style of this website. I am also not versed enough to talk about it off the cuff.

If you would like to know more about the Starseeds, I suggest this article -->

These are the most well-known Starseed origins :

Pleiadian, Taygetan, Sirian, Arcturian, Andromedan, Orion, Mintaken, Lemurian, Venusian, Lyran, Lightworkers, Indigo/Crystal/Rainbow children

Do I consider myself a Starseed?

My life has been bizarre, unusual and even at times orchestrated, like I have a mission or purpose to fulfill. I have had severe and unusual problems connecting to other people, like I did not understand just basic concepts that seemed natural to them. I don't mean just being shy, but like I did not comprehend sort of natural impulses or behaviors.

I was often ostracized, misunderstood and bullied because of this as if there was something dysfunctional with me, even though that is never how I felt. I had a strong sense of self even as a child and for most of the time I just felt like I didn't belong.

I did not have a strong concept of "separation." I always thought everyone was suppose to be your friend and that everyone had compassion for each other. I was ridiculed for this attitude all the time. I had to learn the hard way over and over that isn't how it works here "on Earth"

My life has been numerous, countless examples that are similar or more nuanced than this that have
