Hypnotized Existence

My dreams taught me an interested thing in the last week - not sure why at this time exactly, but it's an important lesson nonetheless.

First, I had a dream that I was three months pregnant.  So I told people I was due November 1st.  But in the dream I didn't even take a millisecond to do the math.  But when I woke up, I wondered "why November 1st, what does that mean?" (Yes, I take my dreams seriously).

Then I realized November is six months from now, so it was literally my due date in the dream. But why did I know that without even thinking about it.  Usually I have to count the months, ya know?

Two days later I had a dream about a man named Clive.  When I woke up, I wondered about it cause I thought it was an odd name, I don't know of anyone named Clive, it's such a random name for me to have in my subconscious.  Curious, I googled 'Clive' and got 'Clive Owen' the actor.

I didn't/don't know of him (so I thought).  He was the exact guy in my dream, looked exactly the same.  No idea why I'd dream of some random actor I've never heard of.

But these two dreams made me realize somewhat how the subconscious mind works, which was both interesting, and worrying. 

My brain can do that math without "thinking" about it because it already knows it.  I, in my thinking process, have to "do the math" to come to the answer, but my subconscious already knows it because it's stored in there, as something I've already learned.  It doesn't need the time that I do to calculate, it had held onto that information.

I may not know of Clive Owen, but my subconscious mind does.  So many movies, tv shows, advertisements, tweets, updates, articles, etc. that we are not going to recall most of the little tidbits of information we come across: names, faces, dates, facts... if we remembered all of these things, we couldn't operate sanely on a daily basis, I think.  But if we've seen it, a part of the brain has retained the information - somewhere, probably, in parts of the brain that we have yet to consciously utilize.  It's in there, stored up.

They say that everyone in your dream are people you've seen in actual life.  Even just walking past them down the street.  The subconscious mind observes and takes in so much!

It is amazing, really, and so cool.  Our brains are so powerful, so much more than we can imagine, and we've only tapped into part of it so far.  What is going to come in the future?  How will it be when we evolve more and more and unlock other parts of the mind we have not yet had access to?  It's an exciting thought.

But it is worrisome.

This phenomenon makes it a piece of cake for us to pick up messages, unbeknownst to our conscious mind, that greatly effect who we are, what we do, what we believe, and what we value.  Talk to any ad person who's willing to tell you - this is a large part of how advertisements are created.  They spend a lot of money studying how our brains work in order to persuade us into thinking what they want us to think, thereby gaining loyal customers - usually starting when they're very young because that's when the mind is most susceptible.

Because of this phenomenon, every single person is powerless against picking up unwanted messages.  Unless of course you live outside of any society and aren't connected in any way to media/tv/internet.



Why is this such a big deal?  Because hypnotism is serious.  Because you go see hypnotists to help you quit smoking by trusting the hypnotist with your subconscious mind to influence you in a positive way.  That hypnotist could easily take advantage of the situation and give you any kind of suggestion they want.  You wouldn't know it, but your subconscious mind would, and that's good enough to effect you on all levels.

What if the hypnotist were to tell you, while under, that you are not beautiful unless you wear X-brand sunglasses?  It may not be a big deal, but imagine getting that message all the time: you would start to believe it. Imagine your kids getting messages of this kind everyday, as their thoughts, their minds, their personalities, and beliefs are forming.  What do you think that does to them?

I may not present a convincing argument, but I hope it makes you think.  It's not just sunglasses, digital cameras, and barbie dolls they're selling you.  It goes much further than just advertisements, but I think I'll not go further into it here.

A lot of who we think we are, is not even true.  Our identities are shaped by what we see, hear, and experience.  It's scary.  And I hope there comes a day when we won't be used so casually for the profit of others.  I know I'm a dreamer, but crazier things have happened.

I encourage you to do a bit of research on what I'm talking about - you can't really get away from the problem but I think it helps if you know it exists. That awareness does have some power over it.

Anyway, just wanted to share what my dreams have made me think about this past week.

The Oscar Goes To...

Today is lazy day here: I planned to do a butt-load of laundry amongst other things but it seems I have done only the minimum amount of required work and have spent most of the day doing stuff online

Last week I woke up in the middle of a revolution in Egypt.  It reminded me a lot of how I felt when I slept in on 9/11/01: I woke up all groggy to people panicking and just assumed it was some kind of joke or that my friend was over-reacting to something.  I felt outta the loop.

In this case, because I have woken up a lot since then, the more I heard/read/watched, the more enraged I became at the stupidity of government. It never surprises me, never fails to.. well, fail.  But I am extremely happy for and proud of the people of Egypt and hope they serve as an example that change IS possible, no matter how impossible it may seem.

Sigh.  Anyway...

I had an awesome weekend with Brian and Drew: we played games, had yummy snacks, watched lots of Simpsons, and cleaned some messy bedrooms.  Lots of fun, still a little sore from piggy-back rides but I'll survive ;-) 

This is Drew's impression of the ridiculous viral video 'Sittin' On Da Toilet'  - She is too cute.

 

In other news, I've been pondering what might go on in people's heads when they choose to make things controversial, ultimately making their own lives difficult.  When you treat a person like garbage and THEY end up extending their forgiveness to YOU, you would think the person would at least take that opportunity to leave the past in the past.  Apparently this is not logical for some people.  I guess this person wants to feel awkward and uncomfortable... seems a shame really, but not my problem anymore.  If you're going to be hanging out where I am hanging out and interacting with my friends you are not going to be able to avoid me, sorry.

Such is life.

And life is absolutely grand! :-)

I Can Haz Chocolate?

I figure it's time for some sort of update as I haven't posted in a while.  My mood's been low but I'm still kicking.  I went through a couple of bad dating experiences in the last few months and it just deflated me.  I don't handle pain well, ya see.  Then again, who does?  Right now I'm just trying to bring myself back up - I have absolutely no energy for most things and I just wanna go to bed.  A couple of other really hard things have come up now too and my emotions are very confused and fragile because of it.  So if anyone wonders why I've been acting crazier than usual, or why I'm doing fuck-all, now you know and hopefully forgive me.  If you read this blog and wonder if the girl called 'Marylin' is ever actually happy, the answer is 'yes, yes she is.'  It is only the fact that I do a lot of my blogging when I'm feeling down because I find it extremely healing - that is why this place paints such an angsty picture.

Now that that's out of the way... let's see what I wanna talk about.

Last Friday I went to two interesting stores with Jodie and Mike: first, Ways To Wisdom, which I've been to before, then, a Catholic supply store that I forget the name of down in the east end, which I've never been to.

Ways To Wisdom is a fun store if you're into spirituality and occult-type stuff, which I am.  Aside from the ridiculously high prices, it's a great store - a lot of interesting books on varying topics and any kind of thing you might want, from herbs and candles, to jewelery and oracle cards.  I found a beautiful set of cards but too much moola.  Anyway, it was fun times.

Then to the Catholic supply store.  This is a store that sells... well, Catholic stuff.  Books, bibles, rosaries, pictures of Jesus, crucifixes, candles, economy packs of the communion host, and priest's robes.  Not remembering where I was, the first thing I did when I walked in the door upon seeing a ginormous poster of Jesus's face was exclaim "holy mary mother of god!!!"  This set the tone for the experience.  The store clerk proceeded to administer dirty looks as we browsed and asked questions regarding each of our standing in the Catholic church.  The judgmental tone did not go unnoticed when asked what church I go to.  I nervously responded, feeling like no time had passed by since I was a kid being taught to be very very afraid and very very ashamed by the very adults meant to shape my mind for the future.  Why the need to feel guilty for just standing there, examining merchandise?  No need, just the natural way of things I suppose: the church can have a strong hold on a person, most especially those who grew up in it.  My fifty-something year old father is still strongly affected by his attendance at Catholic elementary school - I've only been cut loose for a decade and a half.

I walked out of that store and noticed I was holding my breath.  Wow.  That is what I call powerful black magic.  I found the experience of both stores interesting to in comparison and thought I'd share.  I'm not saying any one spiritual path is better or worse than another, I'm just speaking my own experience.  Though I will openly admit I am vehemently against organized religion that uses guilt and fear and any other cult-like device to keep its followers in control - I consider that a form of harm and therefore, bad karma.  Not to mention it does nothing to allow for real spiritual growth.  For me, I don't do religion, and this is just me, I'm not against religion per say (sp?), but I'm personally unable to fit inside a box.  I'm spiritual, and that is good enough for me.  I could talk on this subject forever so I'll move on.

I'll move on to somewhat political things... I guess I'm in the mood to discuss the un-discussable topics.

I don't know how many of you have noticed, but the world is going to 'hell in a handbag' at incredible speed these days.  If you're keeping up with the goings-on of the world,  you might have noticed things are pretty bad and getting worse.  Some people wonder why I talk about conspiracies, thinking I'm a nut or something, but what I talk about is what I see and hear right in front of my face: I read the and watch various news sources, I learn about the history of what is going on, the history of war, the history of politics and religion and whatever else will help make sense of current affairs, I listen to the words and watch the actions of those in power and I feel the need to speak out about it, because I care.

What I don't understand are people who think that everything anti-establishment or anti-government is either conspiracy theory craziness or some sort of anarchy.  This doesn't make sense.  This is no different then a "conspiracy nut" who thinks that every single thing is a conspiracy.  Different sides of the same coin.  Either of these cases are ones in which the person is not being objective and if you can't be objective, you're not really going to find out the truth.  It's the same as science: if you're only hoping for one conclusion in an experiment then you are likely to either ignore any result that does not fit your expectations or you're likely to steer the variables in the direction of your bias.  It's just bad science.

Here is what I hope people will do: read it anyway.  Even if you think something is ridiculous or the opinion of some nut-job, read it/watch it anyway.  And don't discount everything that is not the 'norm' just because you disagree with some things that are not popular opinion.  Opening yourself up to all view points makes for a much stronger knowledge base to go on.  Don't stop learning.  Be careful not to discount something just because it seems outrageous.  Outrageous things do happen.  Look at our history and you can plainly see that.  I believe it was Galileo who was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy," forced to recant, and spent the rest of his life under house arrest for suggesting that the earth was not the center of the universe.  This is just a quick example but you get my drift.

And with that 'lecture' I will leave you with this bit of truth from an oldie but a goodie:





Okay and maybe a little George Carlin for good measure ;o)

A Flu By Any Other Name

You know it's the "end of the world" when pigs fly.

The World Health Organization has declared ‘a public health emergency of international concern,’ defined by them as ‘an occurrence or imminent threat of illness or health conditions caused by bioterrorism, epidemic or pandemic disease, or highly fatal infectious agents or toxins that pose serious risk to a significant number of people.’

Known to you and I as Swine Flu.

Now they're having us call it H1N1 because people weren't buying pork due to fear of becoming infected.

But it's too late to erase the damage that the name 'Swine Flu' has begun to inflict on the pork industry: the name 'Swine Flu' has become too common, too catchy, for H1N1 to replace it.

The US agriculture secretary has only just initiated the name change. Could they not have foreseen that a "pandemic" called 'Swine Flu' would cause issues for the pork industry? Of course they did. Now they're saying, "oops, ok, call it this now" but they know they've already planted the seed.

And if they wanted to make it clear that this flu isn't pig-related, why are some farms being quarantined?

So what motivations could there possibly be for putting the pork industry at risk?

Well, for those of you who don't know, the Rockerfeller funded, Monsanto, has been trying to get a patent on the pig. Yep. They want to officially own the species, this is the future.

This would mean big money for Monsanto, with which the US government has many connections, which equals big profit for members of government, thus motivation to destroy the pork industry.

In comes Monsanto to save the day. Now their attempts to patent the pig are what saves the industry, rather than destroys it.

Why would the government allow anyone to become ill or die though? The government wouldn't do that.

Well this isn't the first time they've tried to instill fear into people to achieve their own ends - they love their fear tactics.

So many possibilities... how easy would it be to pin this on terrorists? It's a perfect plan all around. More fear of terrorists means more war. The war is a cash cow as well as a great way to keep citizens under control by making them afraid and then coming in to "save the day."

Well that's not all ladies and gentlemen: don't forget about the pharmaceutical companies ginormous profit from the cure for this horrible, deadly swine flu. And if I know people, I know that most of them are going to be jumping on that vaccine bandwagon, the same way they line up every flu season for their annual flu shot.

Which wouldn't be so bad if the vaccine, Tamiflu, didn't have horrific effects - please watch this video and for the love of god, do not take Tamiflu! Especially anyone under the age of 19.

I'm not even going to go into why they would want to give the public such a dangerous drug, the information I'm talking about is already over-whelming to those who haven't done their research (or didn't know there was ever a reason to).

Listen, if I die from swine flu, then you can take the damn vaccine and say "I told you so."

This was written in a hurry because I wanted to get it out there (I didn't have to do any research before realizing the connections and it was making me too sick to my stomach to not say anything) and I'm sure it's not the only piece talking about these same issues. So forgive me for not providing more research to back all this up. I urge anyone reading this to add to it by leaving more information, links, etc. in the comments.

If you think I'm a nut-job, please prove me wrong and research for yourself, the more you research, the better.

I'd like to build on this, so again, if I've missed important facts (which I'm sure I did) or you think some other points should be made, leave a comment.

Be The Change

The world is going to hell in a hand-bag. This isn’t a new development; this has been going on right under our noses for a very long time.

Do you ever feel like our collective way of life doesn’t quite work? Ever feel trapped in an inescapable cycle of following the unquestioned rules of society? Have you ever stopped to think whether or not you had a choice in any of this or pondered the reasons why things are the way they are? Have you ever asked any questions?

Perhaps you have asked questions, but were quickly shamed into dismissing them because you don’t want to be unpatriotic, ungrateful, unconventional, or even a little nuts.

Congratulations, you’ve succeeded in giving the powers that be exactly what they want.

If you’ve managed to get through the thick fog of distraction laid before you (it’s there for a reason) and had an inkling of being deceived somehow, there’s always the guilt or fear cards at hand to help shut you up.

And if you don’t buy it? If you don’t fall into that trap (or rather realize you’re being controlled)? Then what?

Shit or get off the pot.

If you’re enlightened enough to know the truth, than you have a responsibility to yourself and to the majority who have inadvertently become zombies (the comparison is not far-fetched) to speak that truth. What good does truth do if you don’t spread it? Sitting on your ass certainly doesn’t do a thing to combat the deceit. At the very least, help other’s wake-up from their comfortable nightmares.

Don’t let them turn you into another one of their puppets.

Question everything. Be informed. Be on guard.

That said, I want to share a message from Andrew J Moulden MD, PhD, new leader of the Canadian Action Party:

November 20, 2008

“Dear CAP Members and Contacts;”

“Please accept this email as my first official correspondence as the new leader of the Canadian Action Party.”

“To those that have cast their faith and vote behind my name, I graciously thank-you for your individual and collective endorsement. For those who proffered another leader, I graciously respect your decision and sincerely request your continued support for CAP. I sincerely hope to earn your trust and Faith with time. ”

“As CAP leader, you have entrusted me to carry your Message forward as we build, solidify, and expound CAP policy, member recruitment, retention, and support. Please note that I am firmly entrenched in the portfolio of ‘for, by, and of the people’. ”

“These are trying times for our Nation and the Globe. As many of you are keenly aware, the very fabric and life-force of our Nation, on multiple spheres, is under direct, subversive, intentional, attack." In many respects, our elected officials remain complicit with the varied forces that seek to control many Nation's in contemporary society under a singular "world order." These lofty goals are neither new nor unique to the 21st century. ”

“The same international "groups" have been manipulating international affairs towards their own skewed views of security and prosperity for the few, at the expense of the security and prosperity for the many, for many centuries. ”

“The greater good has become an empty euphemism. ”

“The principle of "do more good than harm" has been lost in corporate board rooms. ”

“The notion of helping one's fellow man become better has been replaced with ‘how can I become better than my fellow man’. ”

“The ideals of "do unto others as you would have others do unto you" has become ‘do unto others what you will, as long as you come out ahead.’ ”

“As a Nation and a species, we have lost Faith; we have lost Hope; we have lost each other; Without Faith, without Hope, without each other, we remain lost. ”

“The Canadian Action Party is Hope, is Faith, and can become "one another." CAP truly is the only Canadian ship at sea that is positioned to chart a course and rescue line to a Country that is sinking fast by multi-national forces that are luring us into treacherous waters by design and by deceit. ”

“The subjugation of our Sovereignty cuts across every fabric of Canadian life as we know and define it. Some are fearful. Many are oblivious. Some are enlightened. Some do not care. Those who speak up are called conspiracy theorists and radical. Those who remain silent are patronized unknowingly. ”

“As a rational human being I attempt to follow science and reason to truth based on observation and fact finding. With sincerity I attempt to refute any evidence that falls before my observation and minds-eye. ”

“With certainty, I can definitively state, we are not being told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth across multiple areas of contemporary society and current world events.”

“This is not conspiracy or paranoia. This is capitalism. This is ownership of media by the hands of the few. This is mass propaganda. This is selling a story so that we give up our common sense and right to self-determination to support a course of action that has been painted for us so that latent goals of others are achieved by our own "free will.". This is commercialism. This is manipulation. This is mass marketing. This is fear-mongering. This is control of the infrastructure and political heads of State. ”

“This is a small, multi-national, self-appointed, elitist group that shapes the fabric of global affairs in ways most do not appreciate. This group can be defeated. ”

“The international forces that seek to consume Nation states represent the hub of a wheel from which many spokes emerge. As leader of the CAP party I recognize that the central wheel hub is greater than the sum of the parts. To lay claim to the "hub" of this wheel, it matters not which radial spoke we latch onto. It matters that we grab hold and follow at least one of these spokes to the central hub before it is too late. ”

“One cannot advance forward unless a "beach-head" is established on the terrain one seeks to emancipate. There are certain "spokes" in this Globalization wheel that I am well positioned to lead us towards. Others are better qualified to follow other spokes inward to the same destination. ”

“It matters not how we get to the central hub of Globalization, or for that matter, on what specific issue we trace, as there are many. It matters that we arrive in the middle, "set up a perimeter", and march forward from within to claim that which we are soon to be without - our Sovreign state in care, control, and ownership. ”


“There are means and methods to cause this oppressive "wheel" to implode once we breach the central hub. In some respects, this is like landing a force on the beaches of Normandy. CAP is the first wave. CAP is the only Canadian political ship afloat pointing in the right direction. We need all the support we can muster to land this CAP ship firmly on target. Once we land, I assure, reinforcements will come. ”

“As we move forward together during the CAP leadership transition, I wish to assure all that CAP remains an effective vehicle, and perhaps the only vehicle, that is committed to re-claiming our Country and defending our way of life through truth, reconciliation, and courageous resistance to the trans-national corporate occupation of Canada by a Globalization, financial, and trade-fiat stealth.”

“Our current affairs are cogently summarized by the founding father of CAP, Mr. Paul Hellyer:

"The new world order without borders will be like a zoo without cages. Only the most powerful of the species will survive. Canada will not be one of them."

“As your duly elected leader, with servitude, conviction, humility, steadfast determination, and National Pride, I have no intent, whatsoever, of standing idle in fear or subjugation as the future of our Nation is bought and sold behind closed doors. Through deceit, misinformation, or mis-guided good will, It matters not whether these forces are intentional, malicious, self-serving, or part of an elitist or corporate plan. It matters that we are aware that these forces are at work. It matters that we unite as a Nation to defend our Canadian way of life. It matters to the globe that a G-20 Nation shows the World that democracy and unified citizenry is more powerful than the forces that seek to enslave us.”

“The forces that challenge Canada are challenging other sovereign states. We are all challenged, as individuals, to stand up, stand guard, stand united, and stand-off. Canada can be saved. Canada can stand United. Canada can become a beacon of hope, for ourselves, and for the world at large. ”

“We are Canadian. Our Country needs us. The future depends on us. We are an Action Party. It is time for Action. Silence and surrender is not an option. No one is going to rescue us. We must fend for ourselves as our forefathers before us to defend our Country and way of life.”

“Please consider this short introductory note as my collective call for Canadian Action to "Save Canada" from the "free trading" one world government forces that are usurping the economic, social, political, environmental, health, wellness, education, ownership, and Sovereign status of our Nation.”

“We are a country of 30 million souls. We are in a cage match for the survival of our Nationhood. Our way of way of life, right to self-rule and National identity is threatened. Groups that have no claim to our Nation by blood, birth, immigration, sweat, equity, accountability or transparency have us in their cross-hairs. We are being bought, sold, and traded in free markets that we are told are for our own security and prosperity. This is not true. ”

“The security and prosperity is for those that are capitalizing on our Nation's wealth, vast resources, good-will, and exploiting the monetary systems we have willingly surrendered to private control for the past 34 years. Government has remained impervious to re-claiming control of our Nation's currency. This inaction has taken our National Debt from 18 to 588 billion dollars in three decades. Each of us work three months, per year, to pay compound interest, for the use of our own money when our Government's can borrow from our own Bank of Canada and simply pay our Nation this interest rather than the private banking cartel. Whether we accept it or not, we are enslaved. Remarkably, we have freely chosen to remain enslaved. CAP is the only Canadian vehicle, with a platform, to free us all. ”

“With vigilance, perseverance, commitment, and your personal and fiscal support, I am confident, on multiple levels that we have arrived at a turning point in history. A paradigm-shift is in the works. CAP, remarkably, is well positioned to be the "David" in this Goliathan battle to re-direct the reigns of this paradigm shift to the hands of the Canadian people and the children of Canada for all tomorrows. ”

“As leader of CAP, and your voice by extension, I am confident we can re-claim what our fore-fathers have created: Canada is a country for, by, and of the people. We are the people. The future, and the global paradigm that emerges, can become the New World anything; however, rest assured, whatever title the Globalization forces adopt, as a party, and with your support, the future will never be anything less than: The New World Order plus Canada. This is where we start, as a Political Party, in our Journey to come, and in my election to leadership of CAP.

“Thank-you for your appointing me as your leader. ”

“In the months and years to come, we will show each other the weapons with which to fight back, how to use these weapons, and on whom to use them in order to end this attack on our Nationhood. As Sun Tzu says in The Art of War, ‘…one able to gain the victory by modifying his/her tactics in accordance with the enemy situation may be said to be divine.’ ”

“Our entire free-enterprise system and way of life is at stake. This is no game. They are playing for keeps. No one can just sit by and let this happen. Divine inspiration is within you all. We have a fleet to build and a Political Party well-suited to the task. ”

“CAP will become self-sufficient; of this I am most confident. Our CAP ship is at sea and in battle. Our logistical support remains intact. Our base remains formidable. Our National executive remains committed. Our political party has survived. You have placed me at the helm. All of you are the stars that guide our course. Our ship needs fuel. For now this means donations. Every red cent counts. Every membership renewal fortifies our resolve. Every pledge is a rivet that binds us as one. ”

“Please add to our fuel with anything you can contribute – be this volunteer time, resources, or the financial "fuel" that sustains us and places much needed wind in our sails. ”

“The maximum allowable donation per individual is now $1100.00 due to election Canada revisions and allowed adjustments. No corporate contributions are allowed from big or small business. Please consider donating the maximum allowable you per year and help us bring real democracy back to Canada. We are committed to helping Canadians realize their goal; we need Canadians to maximize our ability to achieve it. ”

“Revenue Canada allows up to a 75% tax credit on your Personal Income Tax Return, for donations to a Canadian political party. So for example, a donation of $50 would actually cost you only $12.50; $100 costs $25. Every donation, of any size, is a vote of confidence to achieve our collective goals for our Nation. ”


“CAP is your ship. I dawn the captain's "CAP" as per your National leadership majority vote on Nov. 8th, 2008. We will set sail together and build a vociferous and poignant National Fleet. With your immediate support, with anything you can provide, we will make this ship battle ready and we will set sail together to re-claim all our Country is destined to be. ”

“We are determined to retain Braja as our administrative anchor. We require your donations to secure this one critical piece as we transition our party to the victories and battlefields that beckon our collective voice and action. ”


“As a sextant for one "beach-head" on the horizon, I welcome sharing this small piece of an email I received by one of my international medical colleagues two days ago:


‘Andrew, in terms of the interventions you have and case studies of recovery. I have considered approaching the drug companies and explaining this work. They are fighting lawsuits and settlements every day. As you surmised and experienced they are not receptive.

Andrew, we are setting out to change the face of the world. This concept you now have in medical discovery and biophysics is the grand unified theory and this is the Holy Grail in Medicine. No one wants to know that all the time and effort and money they spent to learn medicine was wrong.

I am sure you have heard of the hundredth monkey syndrome. What isn't known is that on each island there were some monkeys who never did start washing their food. They were the old bull monkeys. Once you have reached a critical mass of awareness, the tides of change will occur.

Focus on the awareness. This is key to success, in all spheres, least of which is the medical solutions you now have. A paradigm shift will come. Be patient. Be humble. Be succinct. Be exact. Be truthful. Be careful not to tell them too much else you will be taken advantage of. This is a fine line. Divulge enough to engage help but do not reveal all. You now have keys to effect changes needed for the betterment of all.’
FH

“We are already in battle for the gateways to come in monetary reform, health, wealth, spirituality, truth, accountability, transparency, environmental protection, and Sovereign control of Canada, for ourselves, our children, the future, and the Globe.Please take this moment to re-new your CAP membership and support us with anything and everything that you can. ”

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: It remains self-evident that all peoples are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creator_deity) with certain unalienable Rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inalienable_rights), that among these are Life, Liberty, and the security of the person. ”

“The Canadian Charter of rights and fredoms is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: (http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/charter/). ”

“We have the right of enjoying and defending our lives, sovereignty, liberties, and pleasures; We are entitled to freedom from oppression; freedom from usury; freedom from discrimination; freedom from deceit; freedom of acquiring, possessing, and protecting our property; freedom to stand up for our citizenry whether they recognize the need for protection and whether they appreciate our actions and are designed to protect them from forces they do not see.”

“CAP is a party that seeks to obtain our safety, security, happiness, and prosperity for one and for all. CAP is a party by the people, of the people, for the people.”

“We are the Canadian people, in name, spirit, integrity, multi-culturalism, ethnicity, heritage, dreams, duty, honour, and the First nations people whose land we have turned into our collective home. Our Country, and our legacy, by National anthem and by decree, is destined to be and remain True, North, Strong, and Free.”

“This Country, in true patriot love, is our land, in ownership and control. The entire Nation, including the printing and issuance our own currency, belongs to the people of Canada, and none other. The right to self govern, control our rich resources, borrow money from ourselves, belongs to Canadian's and not corporate elite intent on turning our Parliament buildings into a personal board room or 5 star hotel. ”

“We have the right to demand truth and reconciliation on questionable world affairs that commit our military forces to oversea's duties. We have the right to demand investigation of world affairs that are relied upon to ultimately rob of us of entrenched charter of rights and feedoms under the guise of "security, prosperity, multi-national agreements, and trade laws." We have the right to refuse to be drugged or vaccinated against our will. We have the right to decide how we wish to direct our own health care freedom's of choice and access. ”

“Canada is a Nation that the world respects. We must respect the world in return and recognize that what makes us strong and free also makes us vulnerable to multi-national forces that wish to possess and control our Nation from behind unseen curtains. These puppeteer hands achieve goals that usurp power from our democracy, elected leaders, bureaucrats, and key areas of industry that are not always in the best interests of Canada or other Countries. There is much truth that is in plain sight yet invisible to many eyes. There is hope and a way out of the trajectory our Nation is charting towards World Government and a North American Union. ”

“The time for truth and reconciliation is fast approaching. The Nation is soon to appreciate they have been manipulated, in profound ways, and that we have placed our trust blindly into hands that do not have our best interests at heart. When this day arrives, CAP will be well poistioned to bring many that have been floundering at sea on board. This "day" has begun. ”

“I sincerely and graciously accept the CAP party collective vote and your Faith in my assuming leadership of the Canadian Action Party. I will not falter in this responsibility. We intend on re-claiming our home and Native land. ”

“Failure is foreign to my will. We will triumph as individuals, as a political voice and force as we chart a radial course back to our intended destiny as a strong, free, and sovreign Nation. We were destined to become a beacon of light to the world. The time for penetrating darkness with light is now. CAP is your lighthouse. The time for Canadian Action is now. ”

“Please stay tuned for truisms, plans, and CAP actions to come.”


“Please support us in any way you can as we transition our CAP party to new docks and a rejuvenated birth as per your will and shining stars of hope, heed, help, and Faith in one another.”

“Please share this message widely and freely. We welcome new members to the CAP family. We can be found at: www.CanadianActionParty.ca

Oh Lord Won't You Buy Me....

Soy yogurt kicks dairy yogurt's ass! Seriously it's so yummy.

Anyway, I need a pantry/cabinet type thing! I've been looking for one for a while with no luck. I've tried people I know, Kijiji, and Freecycle. I neeeeeed one people!

Something like this or similar:

Today's the full moon - good stuff.

I can't stand looking in my coffee cup to find it empty... it's such a disappointing thing.

Hmm I think I'd like to rant a bit...

My momentary topic of choice is a popular one for me: the health system! DUN DUN!

To make a very very long story short, I have (another) useless doctor who is being replaced. I'm very excited about this because there's always the chance this new guy will be decent and I can actually have a HEALER rather than a business person treat my health.

My last appointment with the useless doctor was around two months ago and she said we should have received a letter in the mail regarding her replacement. I still haven't gotten any letter and they were late two months ago. I obviously don't expect to receive one. How very professional. I called the doc's office about a month ago to see if I could schedule an appointment with the replacement doctor (since the current doctor would be gone) and they said no I couldn't. So I'm basically without a doctor (quite a familiar feeling actually).

Luckily, I don't get "sick" and am not dieing or anything, but I am disabled (fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis) which means I should be looked after on a regular basis to see how things are progressing, if I'm in too much pain, etc etc.

I've never had that. And to top it off, disability doesn't really care if I do, as long as I HAVE a doctor.

I just wanna be treated! By a professional! It's all well and good if I can treat myself (I'm not a medication fan) but I am not a certified doctor! lol There are things I don't know about that a doctor does (should) and I think I'm entitled as a Canadian citizen to have that, no?

I would really really like to see a Naturopath... they seem to be true healers as they treat the WHOLE person and not just try to band aid over the symptoms. But even though they have as much, if not more, education than an MD, the government refuses to cover the expenses of seeing a Naturopath. Oh my, those Naturopaths won't use our lovely chemical-licious drugs, they won't make us any money, screw them and all the people who would benefit from their healing.

May I remind people that the original medicine comes from the earth? The earth provides us with EVERYTHING we need. The only reason you have your disgusting drugs is because you twisted the earth's medicine into something you thought was better.

Doctors used to be healers. Not anymore. The more patients they can squeeze in, the more moola they make. The more prescriptions they dole out, the more money they make. They don't get bonuses for healing though.

You have a pain in your side? Here take two of these a day.

The pain pills are making you nauseous? Here, take these pills as well.

You say the pain in your side hurts a little less but now you're losing feeling in your fingers?

Anyway, you get the point. And the point is that the very reason you had the pain in your side is totally ignored. Aches, pains, etc are your bodies super cool natural way of letting you know there is something wrong with it. It is asking to be healed, not bombarded with chemicals that create even worse problems.

*sigh*

Yes it's a mess.

I'll stop - unless you'd like to read a whole book on it :P

So when and if I ever get to see this replacement doctor, he had better be good because my options are running out.

I will spend the money on a Naturopath, but I shouldn't have to... I really can't afford it, but what are my choices? Seriously, tell me...

Alright, enough of this, I'll leave you with a little poem for your amusement.

Fate Of The Muse

At my lap you sit and stare
In my hands you leave your care
And I extend myself to you
So in my thoughts and all I do
For you to grow and heal and thrive
It is your muse, I have arrived.
And through my love you grow to be
The person you've been trying to be

In my bed you lie and stare
Amazed of lust that is so rare
But you have grown and now you see
You cannot give your love to me
It must be false, the love you feel
And mine cannot be very real
There must be more than what I've shown
A muse must forever be alone.

-Love Marylin.

Jibber-Jabber

Will watching the news really keep me up to date on what's going on in the world? No. I refuse to feel guilty about the fact that I don't because all I need to do is scan the headlines and I feel like I'm dealing with aliens...

Seriously, take a fucking peek for yourself and see what the world is focusing on as most important... do I seriously live among these creatures? Negative and sensationalized and I don't care.

*sigh*

Sorry, I don't know where that came from.

I made homemade burgers and fries with yummy mango milkshakes for dinner tonight - Don says it was yummy but maybe he's afraid I'll stab him with a fork if he says otherwise ;)

Definitely good times.

Had a mini Bob Dylan marathon earlier today - love that man.

Okay that crazy French Zig-Zag guy is talking to me and I think I'm just babbling for the sake of saying something and perhaps I should have filled this space with something more poetic than this jibber-jabber I call a blog.



Hey, hey Woody Guthrie, I wrote you a song
'Bout a funny ol' world that's a-comin' along.
Seems sick an' it's hungry, it's tired an' it's torn,
It looks like it's a-dyin' an' it's hardly been born.

When No One Was Looking

Well I just had a good visit with my friend Brenda from elementary school: I don't get to see her too often because she lives in a different town and I don't drive, not to mention she's quite busy planning her upcoming wedding!

I don't have many close friends, but the few I do have are precious. I believe you don't need an army of friends in your life to feel loved, a few good ones are juuuuust fine.

I went to an information session today for psychiatry services at the local hospital - if you don't attend, they knock you off the waiting list and it takes FOREVER to get in.

I've been trying to get in for years, and something always happens, usually due to the stupidity of the system and all of that good stuff, but that's the story of my life - the system doesn't work, especially for Marylin lol.

Aaaanyway, it was informative and due to the lack of attendees, it looks like my remaining wait time won't be too horribly long anymore.

Good.

Get me some proper help so I can learn the tools I need in life to cope so I don't have to waste valuable resources and depend on yucky mind-numbing medications that only act as a band-aid.

The kicker is that at no point in my life have I needed this help LESS than I do right now. But I know that if I don't get it, I will just repeat old patterns and again the meds thing, no thanks.

I've blogged before, probably on many occasions about the health care system and its many flaws. I'll probably blog about it alot more in the future, lol.

Granted, we have it better than the United States, but the actual priorities of the system just make zero sense.

ODSP will pay for prescription medications but they won't pay the $5 cab fare for me to go to Aqua Aerobics, despite the fact that different doctors have told me that would be the most helpful thing for me.

They will pay for the "band-aid" remedies, but not the permanent solutions, who knows why? They're just perpetuating the cycle, doing no one any good. Do you think I enjoy living off of people's taxes? They aren't doing much to help me get out that situation.

I have yet to find a decent doctor. My present doctor is basically like not having a doctor at all because she's rarely available.

I'm supposed to be seeing my doctor on a regular basis to monitor the health issues that cause me to even be on disability, but I'm certainly not and no one seems to care.

Because of the lack of good doctors around, I would really like to see a Naturopath - they treat the WHOLE person, no band-aids, thank you. But they are not covered, of course.

Heaven forbid that a simple, inexpensive herb might do a world of good for someone because it's not "real" medicine.

Disgusting.

No more ranting for today though, I'm in a good mood!

"Every pleasures got an edge of pain, pay for your ticket and don't complain."

The Cost Of Bill C-288

According to an article in May Day Magazine, 'How Much Is It Worth To Stop Global Warming?' by Chris Borst, the cost of Bill C-288 (meeting the targets of Kyoto: reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below the 1990 level by 2008-2012) would result in 276,000 in jobs lost - a number that the Canadian government feels is too weighty.

Canada suffered two recessions from 1981 to 1982 and again from 1990 to 1992, which cost Canada about 800,000 jobs. These recessions were deliberately caused by the government to defeat inflation, which was apparently necessary for restoring "fiscal discipline" and "stabiliz[ing] the value of money."

So, according to the government of Canada, 800,000 lost jobs is okay for "defeating inflation" but it is not worth 276,000 lost jobs (a significant amount less than the 800,000) to stop global warming.

My only defeating thought in the plight for cleaning our air has always been the fact that "they" will never bother, it will cost them too much money.

Now my thoughts are more along the lines of, 'who's gonna hold the gun to Mr. Harper's head (the Canadian government) and make this happen?"

P.S. Bill C-288 has yet to be passed in the House of Commons.


Love Marylin.

Ontario Works - Not

I just got back from my appointment with Ontario Works (after they screwed up my first appointment and then so rudely told me to "come back tomorrow," even though I can't afford these transportation costs and I'm way too sick to be going out anyway) where for the second time the meeting was ended in tears.
I may be hyper-sensitive and I may be manic depressive, but I rarely cry so when I do I have to have a pretty darn good reason for it.

Since I have to go on disability, the ODSP told me to first go through OW as a formality and as a means to cover my costs while I'm in the waiting process. So that's what I've done and I've never experienced such disrespect in my whole life. These people stress being "treated as you would like to be treated" but they treated me like I was some criminal, suggesting that I have no right to go to the government for money, etc. Well, I'm sorry, but I've paid my dues and now I'm in need so it seems some of these programs should be helping me out-not making me feel like a thief.

I can completely understand there being a level of discrepancy to weed out those who rely on government aid or who take advantage of it, but if this is the way it is done than things REALLY need to be changed.
There are some people out there who work hard, pay there taxes, fees, what have you, and when these people are in dire need to survive they should not be treated like scum - this is so wrong.
I'm really upset about this - I need to know that there's a better way than this but it seems there is not.

Disappointed/discouraged/incoherently upset,


Love Marylin.
