More and more, we are able to discern the programs--are they Perfectly Dysfunctional or Imperfectly Functional?
More and more, we are thanking each illuminating crystal for amplifying the programs that deserve Celebrating/Appreciating/Cultivating...AS WELL AS the human crystals processing the programs that need Eliminating.
Here's the deal: Perfectly Dysfunctional Programs RUN YOU. They require resources to operate; attention needs to be PAID to the them--by obligation. PD Programs. They want ...

Preferable + Pleasant = Practical
Why? Because if it's unpleasant, then we will not be able to keep it up/maintain the practice, because we don't want to do it.
Anything that we do not want to willingly do, is us saying "yes" when we want to say "no".... and the mind has to do lots of gymnastics to justify the unwilling "yes" and shove down the frustration at one's self for making an agreement that one did not feel 100% comfortable with...
It usually results in some sort of blow-up...like getti...

Expectations May Produce Baggage
Posted by ConnieErisFreyalisticIsisShaktiDeva on Sunday, August 23, 2020,
Preferences establish our individual opinions about our likes and dislikes; some preferences are flexible, and others not.
The preferences that we decide are inflexible, are our boundaries; in my opinion, as long as anyone else's preferences don't include willingly harming/endangering any non-consenting adjacent individual, whether near or far, then it's okay.
It may not be the beat that I prefer to dance to most of the time, but I can appreciate that other people value it; and through my app...

Objective Acceptance
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Monday, April 15, 2019,
Objective acceptance of what is; with discernment...
Judgement is not required; it's not about the "right" or "wrong" direction...
It's about choosing the direction that is most practical, preferable, & pleasant (in that order) to each individual.
And accepting that if, in any given moment, if there is an "un-" before any of the P's, it's temporary.
Discernment helps us find the practical in that which is unpleasant or not preferable--so there is still value in the experience.
Find the value--ho...

The Feel of Things
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Tuesday, June 6, 2017,
Sometimes, when we feel shitty, it's not even our shit.
We're processing the collective's shit.
So don't hold on to that shit; it's not our shit, and it stinks anyway.
And when it looks like someone's feeling shitty; support them by getting out of the way when they are expressing that shit (in whichever way it comes out), don't get in the way, bc then we might think it was thrown at us, and it wasn't--we just stood in the way like fools, and sometimes we even pick it up and throw it back.
Then it...

Reminder: Pain is Noise
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Monday, May 1, 2017,
Whether physical or emotional, pain may be perceived as internal noise.
The louder it is, the more distracted we are from the outside world, as our attentions are pulled inward.
Our bodies may interpret that noise as pressure--the same way listening to a loud sound system can cause discomfort to our ear drums--because it IS too much pressure.
When the pressure/noise is intense/loud enough, our Protective systems can be engaged, directing us to look externally for the source of discomfort...and ...

Systems Activate!
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Monday, May 1, 2017,
When is it worth it to get out of neutral?
So often, we don't really have a choice; our Protective systems engage automatically to protect us.
Sometimes, though, what is activating our Protective systems are not genuine, authentic threats. When the system triggered, take a moment, breathe, and may we ask ourselves, "Is this really a threat? Am I really in danger?"
Since it is our opinions that activate our Protective/Reward systems, it may be beneficial to acknowledge when an opinion is just th...

Riding the Luck Plane
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Sunday, March 19, 2017,
Connie's preferred method is coasting, in neutral...riding the wave, and allowing the natural momentum (chaos) to propel us forward...slackfully.
There may be stalls at times. Neutral may be a slow start, or no start at all, unless the conditions in the surrounding environment are within the certain parameters required to propel our vehicles forward.
When is it worth it to get out of neutral?
When we need to move--when we've Stalled for too long, and something needs to change.
What may stimulat...

Is That Really My Opinion?
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Friday, March 17, 2017,
Let us ask ourselves---because so very many of the opinions we have aren't even our own.
How does each opinion make us feel? Is there discomfort? Maybe that opinion is not authentically our own.
We don't have to continue feeling/thinking opinions that aren't our own, once we recognize them. Many opinions are simply socio-cultural programs that have been running for generations.
The danger of opinions, is that our nervous systems may perceive those thoughts--opinions--as actual threats, which...

Slack is Neutral
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Friday, March 17, 2017,
Neutrality increases slack.
An engine in neutral uses minimal energy--we coast in neutral.
The more neutral we remain, the less energy we expend outwardly; thus more energy is available for bio-reparation within each vessel.
When is it worth it to get out of neutral?
That is the question.
That is the quest!

Being Mindful of Full Minds
Posted by just another Connie rep on Tuesday, February 7, 2017,
A full mind may be less capable of making inferences or filling in gaps.
A mind that is full is too distracted from what is happening in "real time" outside of its ever jabbering thought processes to make connections that may be obvious to another mind, that is emptier.
When we communicate with others, be mindful of how full their minds may be.
If the individual appears to have a very full mind, then we may want to be VERY SPECIFIC in what we are attempting to express. Otherwise, we may experi...

Whirlpools
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Thursday, April 21, 2016,
Swimming through life, swimmingly.
Whirlpools.
Don't get sucked in; we can't avoid being in the water--the water is Life.
We may, in stillness, be able to detect the direction the whirlpool is swirling from, and swim away from it; and in more stillness, wait for it to subside.
Breathe.
The whirlpool is temporary--though the more people it sucks in, the longer it may linger.
In stillness. Breathing.
The whirlpool subsides.
We swim along.
And maybe, when we do feel ourselves getting sucked in--don't fig...

The Breath of Life

Expansion
Contraction
Expansion
Contraction
We have times in our live we feel very expansive--HUGE!
The spiral loops are wide--there is plenty of space for other people, thoughts, ideas...
We may even remain in expansive mode for days, or weeks, or months--some can pull it off for years. But as with every inhale, there comes the exhale--contraction is necessary for life to breathe.
It seems, sometimes, when we get to the most contracted, we hold our own breaths; there is barely enough space for our...

Learn to Recognize Our Shit
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Monday, January 18, 2016,
It's an undeniable aspect of life--we WILL get our heads stuck up our own asses, throughout the whole of it.
You can see why it's not a comfortable place to be; not only is the position awkward, it's dark and smelly in there.
Quite often, we won't be aware that our heads are up our asses, especially if we happen to be rather pleased with ourselves. Narcissism may make it harder to smell our own shit, since we think our shit is so awesome.
(When we think our shit is awesome, we may also talk ...

A Different Origin Myth: Our Heart is the Earth
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Tuesday, August 11, 2015,
While I cannot say for certain that the story that follows holds any truth, I can neither say that it holds any falsehood. It is, like other origin myths, a story which may, or may not, be.
What I place before you, from my humble keyboard to your screen, is another potential possibility--and like so many that bounce around our multi-cultural sphere...what matters most is:
How does it affect HOW you perceive that which you perceive to be outside of yourself? and
How does it affect your INTERAC... Continue reading ...
The Twanging of Our Heartstrings
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep on Monday, August 10, 2015,
When we interact with individuals, regardless of how brief the contact, the depth of the relationship, the length of duration, the intensity of exchange--a slack line is formed, forever linking you to them.
Some strings are very fine, not even a hair's width; others are thick cords, a strong slack line that provides stabilizing support to both individuals....
Every person matters. Every individual has had an effect; is having an effect; will have an effect: on our respective lives, in some way...

Programming programming PROGRAMMING!
Language is key to programming. A computer cannot be programmed without some sort of language; our nervous/neurological systems respond to programming as well--the external stimuli that reinforce our socio-cultural programs, emotional responses/reactions...programming.
Some aspects are out of our control; sometimes, we can choose our exposure to environments or individuals, ...

Somewhere upon the Luck Plane we may stumble upon the Meta-Museum, a glorious place where each individual living being's life is on display as the ever-changing, ever-growing work of art that each magnificent piece is constantly becoming.

Emotional Blips on the Radar
Posted by Just Another Connie Rep. on Sunday, April 20, 2014,
are just that: emotional blips.
We tend to be more affected by some blips more than others; the blips on our emotional radar are all the same, ultimately--even though we may focus more on some of them than others.
Oh, maybe this blip looks kinda red, or that one kinda blue....we'll focus on that blip, blinking on our emotional screen, till we forget about all the other blips on the radar.
Holding on to emotional states happens. It's an unfortunate part of the parcel that comes with being human...

The Great Forgetting

It happens to all of us, even the best and brightest and worst and darkest SubG experiences it--the great forgetting.
Fogettings, indeed, it's not just once in a lifetime, friends--if we're lucky, we forget ALL THE TIME.
Literally: We forget ALL, We forget TIME, WE FORGET "ALL TIME".
It's that big picture, see, that big picture, the ALL that we forget, and we need to, otherwise we couldn't focus on the details.
But to really focus on those details, sometimes, we have to forget the rest of the p...

On the Subject of "Death": Connie Supports The End of Life Transition (THEoLT)

THEoLT:
The End of Life Transition.
Rather than funerals, we have celebrations of life; in Dobbstown, we assist our Elders out, at their will.
Imagine this:
You are ready to move on, because it's just that time. Rather than slowly and painfully make your way out of the world in hospice care, you schedule your THEoLT.
Your loved ones join you on that momentous day, and praise your life, and accomplishments (or lack thereof), and may bid you farewell on your journey to...pleasure saucers with sex...

So, you want to be a vehicle for new life on the planet.
Yes, a vehicle--as a pregnant person, you are a walking incubator.
How the incubator levels are set will affect the development of the human growing inside you, and may determine what kind of person you bring into the world.

Memo to all Parental units--
Parenting is Modeling : Be a Supermodel!
- Teach your children how to play by playing with them. How do you expect them to know if you don't model healthy, respectful, inquisitive, imaginative play?
- New environments mean different ways of playing; remember, your child's ability to play well in familiar environments may not rollover to new, unfamiliar environments. That's why it's good to play with your child on a regular basis, consistently modeling healthy play and ...
