Ego & Spirit (From my blogs on MySpace)

Imagine this scene if you will. Two babies are in uterus confined to the wall of their mother's womb, and they are having a conversation.

For the sake of clarity we'll call these twins Ego and Spirit.

Spirit says to Ego, "I know you are going to find this difficult to accept,

but I truly believe there is life after birth."

Ego responds, "Don't be ridiculous, Look around you. This is all there is. Why must you always be thinking something beyond this reality? Accept your lot in life. Make yourself comfortable and forget about all this life-after-birth nonsense."

Spirit quiets down for a while, but her inner voice won't allow her to remain silent any longer. "Ego, now don't get mad, but I have something else to say.

I also believe that there is a Mother."

"A mother!" Ego guffaws. "How can you be so absurd? You've never seen a Mother. Why can't you accept that this is all there is? The idea of a Mother is crazy. You are here alone with me. This is your reality. Now grab hold of that cord. Go into your corner and stop being so silly. Trust me, there is no Mother."

Spirit reluctantly stops her conversation with Ego, but her restlessness soon gets the better of her. "Ego," she implores, "please listen without rejecting my idea. Somehow I think that those constant pressures we both feel, those movements that make us so uncomfortable sometimes, that continual repositioning and all of that closing in that seems to be taking place as we keep growing, is getting us ready for a place of glowing light, and we will experience it very soon."

"Now I know you are absolutely insane," replies Ego. "All you have ever known is darkness. You've never seen light. How can you even contemplate such an idea? Those movements and pressures you feel are your reality. You are a distinct separate being. This is your journey. Darkness and pressures and a closed-in feeling are what life is all about. You'll have to fight it as long as you live. Now grab your cord and please stay still."

Spirit relaxes for a while, but finally she can contain herself no longer.

"Ego, I have only one more thing to say and then I'll never bother you again."

"Go ahead," Ego responds impatiently.

Spirit continues, "I believe all of these pressures and all of this discomfort is not only going to bring us to a new celestial light, but when we experience it, we are going to meet Mother face-to-face and know an ecstasy that is beyond anything we have ever experienced up until now."

"You really are crazy, Spirit. Now I'm truly convinced of it."

Funny how our ego's always seem to want to hold us back from what our spirit tells us is true...which one do you listen to?

The plight of the people, unheard

Recent political unrest is occurring in Indonesia, where the elite members of the ruling political party is experiencing disturbing accusations in regards to corruption. I follow the events as I live here. I see how the rich get richer, people on the streets have little and I see how the politicians picked haven't made radical changes to the lives of people and they have no hope any more of being happier. They feel the people who run for elections only need them for votes, the members give away money or small gifts to secure votes; but when the time comes for the elected members to actually serve and represent the people, there is very little done.
The lower levels and majority of the nations are poor and not educated, easily deceived and gullible.
The current situation have many "players" who want to take control of the country for their sole interests to become important, yet none really place importance on the masses who live in squalid conditions, in poverty and have little hope in their leaders.
Will this be the cause of a revolution again, countrymen fighting each other, internal conflict , wars and deaths?
All over the globe, millions are distressed, with developed countries making difficulties and creating conflicts, to secure wealth. The obsession for leaders to be in control and dominate the riches of the world, and make slaves of the one in developing countries. It would be simple if there was sincere cooperation to improve, but as we now see worldwide, with all the revolts, more poverty and wars, it is a situation that makes no sense at all.
The conditions in our world seems very hopeless. Very hopeless, indeed. Unless we heed the voices of the struggling people, meet standards of living for them to have a proper meal, send their children to school, ability to earn and survive independently, we shall only see the ruination of mankind right before our very eyes.

My recent experience of relationship

I have had moments that I cannot explain, why they happened, and they shouldn't have; there is nothing to regret, as mistakes are my learning curve.
I guess because I am an emphatic person, I like to see the good in most things, in most people and in men. I tend to trust immediately, unless I get the premonition that a person is not good for me, I do believe them.
Recent times, have allowed me to experience true horrible human characteristics, which have made me learn that not all is as it seems and we do need time to discover people's personality. I met someone I thought was really nice and intelligent, somehow over time, I discovered, he was probably remaining nice to gain my trust before protruding the nasty side, that if I was then already latched on, I would then become fodder to the manipulation and terror. Trying to give and take never worked, as it was just his world and opinions and although in theory I had rights, in reality I felt I was being cleverly ruled. It was clarified today, by an incident that I asked questions and received replies which, in a minute contradicted itself in his reactions. It has finally dawned on me, that I think it's time to have a complete cutoff, and focus on what is happening that is positive in my life, and not try to uphold something which has no resilience or quality as a relationship.
I learnt being intelligent and labeling oneself as an intellectual doesn't necessarily mean one is! I heard a lot of reference to the like and I did not see much of the ideas blossom. Topics to discuss were limited and in the end, after we minimised topics to avoid conflict, I could feel there was not much left to the relationship, except a good sexual energy. That also, eventually diminished as a sexual relationship without feelings is a waste of time.Ironically, this made the man feel more human and lack of it created a "monster". It would be unfair to say it was all bad, it wasn't. But as time moves on and people cannot compromise and are frigid in life, people separate. There are some people who literally feed off others, zapping their energy, use others' as crutches to live a life they cannot, or they tend to criticise everything if it doesn't fit in their program of thoughts. I feel a sense of loss for the nice personality, but I think that the opposite side is dominant. How can people who have spent sometime together, gather the nerve at the end when things don't go their way, to disregard everything that ever happened, in cold tones suggest, it's probably enough till now that we have been together, now since we don't get along, we should go our own ways, without a feeling of remorse. Is this their way to hide their hurt? Or is it that they just have no conscience. And they dare to label themselves , people with integrity, morals and values. With life principles intact and that because of a successful "original" marriage and children who have completed their education and can be independent, they have achieved such a great standard of life and may judge others? It is so wrong.
I often also hear phrases like " We have no problem." "I have no problem." " In moderation." "I can't afford to make a mistake." "A person of my stature..."
It is absurd! It is ridiculous! It is being in denial!
Neurotic and excessive compulsive behavioural patterns lead to a narcissistic tendency and the need to control everything.
I think I have had enough! Time to hit the highway, although it's rough like a friend said in his recent post, it will be worth the while anticipate greener pastures.
Most times, my heart weakens my ability to think straight, in hindsight, I always say works with what is happening, don't focus on what isn't in my control. Might take myself up on that!

World situation, my view

I just want to express myself without any hindrance.... I just want to say everything I feel about the political play here and everywhere in this world..... I want to open up all the rat's secrets....... I want the world to be smart and protect each other. Don't be so misguided and so gullible, many leaders lie to us. Make promises they can't keep, I don't see any world leader in poverty or difficulty or in any uncomfortable position, so what if they are presidents etc... they're still humans. Try for once, to come down to the grass roots and see what the real problems we are facing. Because, if you don't, and for sure the only one prediction is true and faultless is that you shall meet your Maker, then you will be made to feel eternal shame. Can you manage that? There are theories of negative forces t play with humans' lives, but there are also positive forces defending and these are so many more. What we see and hear with our reality is truth, and what we can't see and hear, are also truth. People are so preoccupied with "life" they are so closed up, they are entrenched, they plod along hopefully, hopeful, waiting..... 90% of us do this. We are controlled, dictated, brainwashed, we are conditioned to agree with what is not natural, evolution in all sciences and technology cannot take away our basic human nature to care and love. Now, we need to re-learn, re-condition, and open our eyes and ears to progress as nature intended, not as conditioned and programmed robots. Our cultures offers such diversified beliefs that can help us muster strength and courage to begin being good for the sake of goodness....hence the saying, "For goodness sake". To be better , we begin with ourselves, a self realisation.... but yet the whole situation seems so out of control now, I do not want the world to suffer just because the world feels hopeless. There is a good force and they work very hard to help us. Their love and guidance are specific and loyal.They do not ask for any repayments and sincere in their efforts. Let's all make an effort to achieve the best for ourselves although we don't all believe in the same teachings, we do all have the basic human nature. From another perspective, I feel a duty to pass on reminders with the hope that through this, we can all remain positive. Many mediums have different tasks and ways to help people. Psychic abilities don't just happen overnight , they just dawn on us. I do believe this to be a mission for me to try and help the Earth and her contents survive what may be a challenging future IF we allow it to continue on it's negative path. Although, I often feel helpless and frustrated, I manage to have faith in the human race, our intelligence and communication abilities through our energy frequencies. Peace, Love and Light always..... Lorraine Nur.
