Tales From the End of the Road: The White Market

 

As the Digital ID plays itself out, I would like to take a moment to share about my newest member of the family, a California Desert Turtle named Lois. Lois belonged with my first friend I ever had, a neighbor growing up down the street, for over thirty years. But now that she is retired, she is having a new house built and relocating to the Hill Country in Texas. 

Apparently turtles like this are against the law outside of the state of California. And, if she needed to take the turtle to the vet, it would be awkward.

So, she thought about it, and thought about who might be a good fit to adopt her baby. She asked, and I joyfully accepted.

Her sister, who lives not far from me, apparently had been watching Lois until the house was built, so Lois never left the area. Both of them came with the heavy modified doghouse, and brought a week's worth of food. 

This is an example of the White Market. 

Unlike the Black Market which has been around since time began, for the detriment of human society, the White Market has gone by many names...donations, charity, sharing, community assistance...and you might not think about it.

The White Market (barter) was around long long before currency.

It's coming back into importance as the times and current events march onward to their eventual conclusion. 

That is enough for today.

Pray.

Allow yourself to be guided by the Holy Spirit, by your Conscience, by your connection of Soul to the Eternal Source.

That will nourish you as well. In important ways.

Tales from the End of the Road: Never say Never

 

Good morning! It is cloudy here, and overcast. 

Yesterday was a big day, if you are 'on' to the 'numbers game' in the UK. There was the big announcement.  It did not surprise me.

Why? Because something funny was going on when I got my new phone. You know how you transfer your apps to it, and you have to log in? Well, certain apps almost didn't let me without 'proper authentication' (polite cough). Now I have to log in from emails or other devices to prove that I 'am really me'. It was scary to see how fast my years of work online could disappear all for not being able to log in. 

My dear cousin, who has passed, was a stuntman. And he called it FANG--Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google--were tied in with the government in making the plots for movies. It wasn't just 'creative' any more, or even 'money motivated' to make a winner. He still loved the action and the work, and he read the Bible every day, but he saw and he knew a lot about the business. 

Facebook was the hardest for me to log in. If I hadn't had it on my computer I would be locked out. Amazon was easy it just transferred right over. Netflix isn't on my phone. And Google? I use it same.

I prayed this morning while I did my Bible study. I was worried about the times and the signs of the times. Even if this ushers in a short time and then we get to the 'good stuff' of 'Heaven', doesn't God know we get PTSD and trauma? I have the best Bible and I actually color in it. Coloring soothes me. And the chapter was Exodus 39. It spells out the outfit and the breast plate of a priest. Moses had to tell the people what God told him about how to make it, and then they made it for Aaron to wear, and Moses approved it. 

The people (if I dare call them that) who are holding the power and running the world still believe in Moses and the Temple. Right now there are priests who are trained in the sacrifices at the altar with the red blemish-free bulls. This goes way back. 

I also realized if Kerth Barker could endure the horrific things he endured with the people (if I dare call them that) who were deep into the 'ways of the (polite cough) light' then I can put one foot in front of me and get through my days with my easier life circumstances. 

Then when I sat down and was looking through the photo choices for this, I realized, we already have an identification as a soul:  our soul frequency, our energy signature! That's frequency and vibration--numbers--too! Energy signature decides where you get to go in Heaven, like a badge here on Earth--you know, how some areas need special clearance? We each have our own unique frequency, and this is what I connect with when I talk to someone who has made the Transition and is On The Other Side. 

I do not think anything can destroy our energy signature.

But the anger at the presence of it, and the special clearance it signifies apparently has angered approximately one third of the angels who once were in Heaven and fell. No wonder why there is a push for a twisted parallel at this time, to restrict and deny innocent others under their domain (humans). 

I might not be able to change anything. But I can sure call them out on it. And I can pray. 

Well what about your love, your inside connection, you may ask? It's quiet. My father was a teacher, I knew that the teacher's edition in the textbooks existed, but my school district and curriculum were completely different. I never got the answers. Not like my friends accused me of. I just learned and understood what was on the test. 

It's the same here. I have loving support and my significant other helps me when I get overwhelm with fear. The rest is all observation and introspection and luck.

Do not be afraid. 

Somehow things are going to work out.

Trust in the plan.

And as Ross says now, 'enjoy the show!'

clap! clap!

Namaste,

Tales From The End of the Road: Truth is More Stretchy to Some People than to Others

 

Remember how smoking tobacco was once considered 'healthy'?  Cigarettes were in movies, in the Sea Rations for the soldiers, people smoked inside their cars, even pregnant mothers enjoyed their cigarettes...

There was a time in France where wine and alcohol were encouraged, to decrease shyness and to help people fit in socially. 

Both are addictive.

And sometimes with addictive substances, after a time where the user has free will to choose, in time, the brain chemistry adapts and the person becomes dependent on it to function. 

I have seen the end stages of disease brought about by these substances in my patients. It's not pretty. It takes lives.

Remember there are big lies, and there are little lies. Consider the possibility that we could be completely surrounded by lies. 

For example, the 'low fat' diets for heart health in the eighties. In reality, these were a recipe for kidney damage. And diabetes. 

The only way to know Truth is in your heart and by being close to Spirit. Spend time alone with your heart connected to Source every day. 

You may be surrounded by a society that lies like a rug (pun intended!)--but as long as you know and follow YOUR TRUTH everything is going to be okay.

Take everything else with a grain of salt. Whether you have studied things that are hidden in plain sight, or not, know there's lots more above and beyond what has been studied that is really messed up too. So just know it's out of our control externally, go along for the ride, enjoy the popcorn as you watch things unfold, and keep centered and focused on your own path.

clap! clap!

Aloha and Mahalos,

Namaste,

Peace,

Ross and Carla

P.S. Ross says Nature is a sure way to re-set and enjoy the truth. And also, there's always the cat videos--Carla's favorite is Donnie the Calm Cat Whisperer on Insta and maybe other platforms too. It brings her joy to see him work with all kitties even the 'spicy ones'.

Tales From The End of the Road: The Movie Scene

 

There has been a lot happening recently that has been disturbing. Especially for me, a physician with experience in Trauma at the trauma center.

Have you ever seen the movie, the Kingsmen? It came out oh, around 2015. The hero is a guy named 'Eggsy'. His father had been a Kingsmen and died in service. So another Kingsmen, Galahad, sponsors him to go through the training.

He makes it to the final two.

During training each student is given their choice of a puppy to raise. And in the last test, the dog is in the room with the headmaster and the student. The spy student is given the command to 'shoot the dog'. 

Eggsy can't. He yells back at the headmaster. He is expelled from the secret society of spy warriors. 

The secret in the movie is that there was a blank in the gun. The dog would have lived if he had followed the command.

In training of another kind, the victims are given pets to love. Everything else is chaotic around them. They don't know who to trust or how to respond to these increasingly psychological challenges--and physical ones too. They are victims because this particular training is designed to shatter the mind and make people undetectable trained for their job--even they don't realize it because the mind compartmentalized in order to protect itself. 

At some point, the pet is destroyed in front of them, to further along the training. 

These victims are part of individualized training.

It happens too to large groups of people. Hungry people, stressed out people, afraid people are easier to get to do what is wanted of them. 

Pray.

This is a spiritual battle.

We are fortunate to have access to some of the playbooks of the past for the opponent. That is what is being shared with you today:  the purposeful encouragement of emotional bonding with something that is suddenly taken away. 

The opponent may take advantage and exploit a psychological weakness in humanity. But remember always, Spirit has ways of bringing things around for our side too. 

All is not lost.

This is only a phase, another battle or skirmish, in the all out Spiritual War that is hidden in plain sight.

Ross

I am here to encourage you to feel, to grieve, to process the difficult emotions of the past recent effects. Remember to lean on me and to allow yourself to re-align for your higher purpose.

You've got this.

Keep going.

clap! clap!

A Communication about American Football

 

It's football season again!  

Last night I watched a game that took place in Brazil. It was the Chargers versus the Chiefs. 

Other such games are planned for a total of seven world-wide this football season--in Germany, Ireland, Spain and the UK. American football is poised to become a global sport.

As someone who grew up with a father and uncle always watching football, I knew the basics of the game.  I went to football games on Friday nights at my high school, and on Saturday mornings with my college.  I was neither a fan or foe of the sport. But try as I might, it seemed that I could not understand it.

One day a few years ago, I confessed to my son over dinner that people had been talking football in the OR. I did not know what to say. I felt embarrassed. He calmly said 'mom I can help fix that'. Over time, my training has taken place.  

I write this for the football 'widows' of the world who are aware that this sport has a control/connection to their husband's minds that nothing can break, and it appears that nothing ever will break it.

What you see is real. Your feelings are real. And I am going to help you understand the complex psychological science behind what is taking place.

On the surface, football looks like a game of brawn and strength, and also, quick thinking and agility. Why would grown men want to slam their bodies into one another, right?

What you wouldn't know, is that football strategy is like a living form of chess. You know chess is a battle of wits and there are many, many 'plays' or 'techniques' that go along with the serious player.  Everything happens fast on the playing field. One 'play' might take minutes or seconds. But going into that play is a lot of strategic planning, practice, and memorization. 

To see the strategy, you need to watch the films. There is a something 22 format, two views of each play, no hoopla, no fanfare, just silent film from the fifty yard line and also of the same play from the end zone. Then you can see how the players are arranged, how offense is poised against defense, and the movements of the players and the ball.

From what I understand, there are many coaches who are often former players, who coach players in the roles they once had, and above that are coaches who are like battle field generals who watch and call plays as the game progresses.

Not only is there more to football, in complexity, but also, football supplies men with the reward brain chemical that men are wired to seek: vasopressin. This one is released by men solving problems together. I noticed this while watching the series 'Hard Knocks' just a few weeks ago. Women, you know how wonderful it feels to have an emotional connection with someone? How it makes you feel seen, heard, and understood? That is because women bond through different neurotransmitters like oxytocin.

A poignant example of the 'men live on mars, women live on Venus' dichotomy of our bonding/excitement/attraction was shared to me by a colleague. He noticed it, and handled it skillfully. His wife had an incredible, wonderful story to share with him. His question to her was why she chose to share it during kickoff of the first football game of the season? He said he would be happy to listen to it any other time, so he could appreciate the wonderful sharing. 

She wanted the oxytocin, and was motivated to increase hers. Unfortunately, he was locked in to vasopressin mode, and dopamine, and not as receptive to the oxytocin at that time. There was no way she could grasp the significance of the event taking place without having been through the intensive one on one training I have had with my son. And my son wants to have a career professionally related to sports. I am learning from the best.

Yes, some women are football fans. You see them. Some might understand, like me, the nuances taking place hidden in plain sight, from being raised by or associated with people who taught them how to appreciate the game. Others just may enjoy the tradition and fanfare like I did before my son helped to teach me. It doesn't matter.

What matters is, in your heart of hearts, if you feel abandoned as a football widow it's not your fault. 

Annually men experience a cycle of testosterone, which peaks in October and is lowest in Spring. This sport not only coincides with that cycle, but it has engrained itself into other socially important validation avenues for men in addition to the activating of the male bonding hormone vasopressin.  I am talking about the fantasy football leagues. My son waited his whole life--nineteen years--for a spot in his father's friends fantasy football league. Winners win money from the pot everyone contributes to. Losers in the season, the worst loser, has to wear a diaper to the next draft. This is male bonding on top of the regular game!Your friends, your bets, and your reputation all together! Fantasy football leagues are when you select your own team based on the stats across the league--you can have a quarterback from one team, and a running back from another--they don't have to be together on the same team. And from your roster (they take turns picking who they want, your friends in your league and you) depending on how the players perform, you get points. You are paired with another from your fantasy league each week. One wins the other loses based on points. 

I found this frustrating because before my kid had 'his team' but now when he explodes with happiness or with anger while watching a game, it is often because of how it affects his fantasy team--even when his 'team' team on the television is winning.  

So now you understand.

Our men are living vicariously through those who have athletic talent to fully devote themselves to the game. These players make incredible amounts of money. The teams they play on themselves have billions of dollars of worth just in being able to market merchandise and TV coverage and tickets. Fans align themselves with these teams and when their teams have a winning season they feel good about themselves. There is actual sports history in the making as the teams work their way through the season to the playoffs. Sports history is fascinating. A nice way to learn it is through Peyton Manning's series 'Peyton's Places' on one of the channels. It is a nice show and highlights different important teams and players in a lighthearted way. Peyton once dressed in an Elvis jumpsuit and ran plays Elvis designed himself with local high school students near Graceland. I never knew Elvis was such a big fan!

Doctors with Reiki is all about healing. 

Even though today is not about the typical things I write about, my heart is filled with compassion for these 'football widows' who are hurting and feeling abandoned this time of year. When it clicked while I was watching Hard Knocks, I realized, 'nobody can win', not against the powerful neurochemical reward system of vasopressin that has been activated in our men. Men NEED this validation and bonding to feel empowered and masculine. Our brains as women are different. We have different needs, and yes this time of year takes away some of our oxytocin with our significant others. On the other hand, now that you understand the situation, remember that you have the opportunity to bond through the vasopressin that is being activated. Some women provide food and snacks which is appreciated on one level. Sitting and enjoying the game with your loved ones is another level of appreciation. And asking about the fantasy football league how it's going will give your loved one an opportunity to feel seen, heard, and understood (asking outside of game play of course, during downtime).

It is though knowledge of our differences that brings us closer together.

clap! clap!

Aloha and Mahalos,

Namaste,
