Never Change a Losing Horse?

What some of us might have found out by time and connected experience is for sure that things are most often not what they seem to be at first sight.

Others do have those special fine senses to realize how things (or persons) factually are. As most of us have learned (or: as we have been conditioned) that we should not judge we also don't allow ourselves good intuition, and they override their own good intuition. That is a big trap I fell in over for decades in my life until, finally and most often not understandable for people around, I go for exactly what my senses tell me. Having been overriding my own intuition and better knowledge for too many times in life because other people told me so, I decided to go less and less for cheap compromises.

On the other hand, I am most often endlessley patient and give many many chances to people with whom it is evident that they are carrying a big problem with themselves which they themselves would be happy to solve. I see that, and therefore I give chances. Funny though that when given that chance, people often decide to even get deeper into what they already are stuck in, in the negative sense.

It seems strange how people wish to have chances for a change and when they have exactly that chance the wanted, they fall back into their slur and often even strengthen the negative features to show them in full bloom.

Why it comes up now .... hmm, well. Life comes up with funny coincidences, sometimes. Actually, more often. Serendipity?

One reason I am pondering about this topic once more is a former business colleague of mine who tried to get back in touch with me several times during the last years. He had done real big shit a time before, showing the full face of the 'boys' game' which he unfortunately played on a woman, even a pregnant woman who lost all (materially) after that cheat (fortunately, she won all regarding life itself). Boys obviously do not understand at all that their game is only the one of male deer, using their antlers to show who is stronger, bigger, more powerful and in the end, has the better chances to mate and breed. With this, they are not on any other level than any other animal in the world. These boys are running around in adult men's bodies, being very successfull with pretending they know the ways while they are in reality only like children playing in a sandpit, not realizing what their actions in real life cause.

In this confused world, they mess with the female deers who clearly have other missions rather than  messing around to show who 'got the biggest'. Coming back to that person, after decades where it happened that he played boyish game in business (actually near to criminal but 'the market' allows a lot) he uses every (web) chance to connect back. But he does not clarify anthing, and so nothing changes. So it seems he either carries a burden or he still does not think at all, while I doubt the latter. Every halfway intelligent person knows well what they have done. I am curious what comes out of this and if he will use the chance for a change.

The other cause is an organization I have worked for before, in information management. I had showed up to the management that organizationally some things need to be slightly changed to not run into same problems over and over. But they didn't change the losing horse. They seem to love it - so may it be.

A friend of mine experiences similar, in another international organization, and from the information I receive, it seems all the same. The pattern seems to be to not only not change losing horses but to promote them and run it all deeper and deeper into incapability. Well, one day they will then be like jockeys without horses at all.




This my former organization has recently contacted me for retrieving information. The point is that I had hinted at what things need to be slightly changed to not run into such a situation, and they had, thanks to the power of incapable management and administrators, even shut down the whole information management project (and my role together with it). A kind of Kamikaze attitude I would call it, in fact. If you need to be aware that you severely depend on information but refuse to make information available you will run out of information at a point. It is great fun to see they come back to that and ask help of the person they beforehand refused to listen to. A Kindergarten. But unfortunately, an organization for which good and hard-working people are paying taxes.

And the third reason to dwell in thoughts about this scheme is the fact that momentarily, I am working for a purpose I have my severe problems to get out the deeper meaning for the world's benefit. We all know that we, as human race, severely mess around with the planet's energies. At the same time, pushing even more machines into the market which completely unnecessarily use up energies is a critical game. I am wondering why I am sent there. Maybe there is a good reason and I can tell you later once.

Every action (and non-action where action is required) is a possible cause, and the chains of causalities hit back. Sometimes hard but never unfair. We can await that. 

The only thing I pity is that in the meantime
a) usually many innocent people get involved and suffer from the incapability of some who play mean games, and
b) for the moment it looks as if this was a successfull attitude. Only in the long run and with good observation qualities, it gets clear it is not. Not at all. So other people get confused and follow such patterns, being made believe it works. It works, yes, very shortterm. But the balance in the end (and sometimes even earlier) will show what someone really has used his or her creativity for in life.

Wishing that we may be blessed to revise what needs revision, in time and never on the cost of others. Then we have already done a lot well.

Cheers and have a great wonderous day,

Job's Job 2

Extending the unlucky 'I am in the pod' story of December, looks like my cousin did another Job's job by presenting the pod for my daughter, this time.

As you try to educate kids and give them a sense of social balance - well, the world is not social but it could be, it's just that some always want more and that necessarily must be cut off from others - there are some people who simply don't seem to get that humans do not necessarily need to get down to their level of 'making a difference' by separating. Separating one from the other by differentiating by what you 'have. And what they have not overcome, they try to get other people into. Sometimes, not so rarely, by acting as if they just would 'do good'. So as they define themselves by what they 'have' (not what they are), they try to trigger same in others. And give them a good portion of trouble with that. Acting on the most vulnerable spots is the tactics.

But what do we 'have'?

Certainly not more than what we have left when everything breaks down. Want to believe it or not, every thing decays at a point which is not self-re-creating itself from out of itself. For that it needs creative powers. Cutting powers only can cut. Cut, cut off, separate, 'analyze' (translate the latter and you will get it. Analysis is good ... if it serves to bring together, to synthesize, the cut-apart parts into something creative and new). Creating is bringing together for something new, for building, synchronizing formerly single elements so that together they form up a new existence. In best case, the latter causes continuous re-creation. A cycle of life.

What is it, then, what we have, when things are separated to the very end? All we have and all we can take with us in a worst case scenario is what we have developed. Inside. What is outside, none of us can carry with him or her. Neither nice clothes nor belongings nor goods we can keep with us. All will rot, all that is material will fade as it got no substance in itself. It looses it's energies until nothing will be left over, and sometimes involve a whole lot of destruction in between. Fission at it's best.

Am I wondering? Certainly I am not. Where humans lack creation inside, they will also try to form up their environment accordingly. They show 'good' to the outside as they are socialized like that, outsidely, but ooops, they 'only wanted good' and didn't mean the effects they have caused. My cousin certainly also only wants that. There must be good reason why her (sole) daughter wants to be a psychologist one day. I hate this kind of 'doing good' by sowing material wishes and envy in others who in principle are far away from that. Wish these people would not try to do 'good' by bringing people apart. But that is how they work.

A recent conversation in the public transport on the way to work. One young man, complaining about all those predefined functionalities in the apple gadgets. Discussion about that today you have to pay much more to get electronics where you still have some choice to define how you want it to work. The other young man, joking: 'why don't you just give yourself over to imposed immaturity?' I can tell you, those boys made my day. They got it.

In this sense, putting hopes into the new new generation while wondering how they will be able to make it with the load passed on by the generation before. Consuming is no life style. Consuming without taking care that the environment also will survive and that next in time have a fundament, chance (and right) to make a living, too, is worthless. No hulls and pods around can hide what we developed underneath. One day, we all dance naked.

Easter fires are still - or again - very traditional
in many places in Europe especially in the Alpes
In this sense, enjoy a nice celebration of what is 'coming up from the East'. Easter, or in the same ethymology, 'Ostern' (that what comes from 'Osten', well, simply translated as East).
A fire coming from the East is, literally, not as unthinkable as we might want to think. Carpe Diem ... or che(r)rish the day.

You can also light yourself a nice fire. The best fire is still the fire burning inside which does not perish and is not suffocated by pods around.
Or choose the shell, a mollusk clamped to the ground, never moving from its place unless it is swirled away by other forces. We are as free as we have never been before.

ALL is our choice.

Happy Easter.

Love,
Lyn

Finding of the Day - Friends

My finding of the day
(and just for those who didn't know yet - for the others a re-flection of what is for long known):

Better an open enemy
than a false friend.

Every thing else is vanity.


And for a very specific French Little Roman
(third act, same theater, and soon to come):

Et tu, Brute?

[Curtain]

 

Chicken Caesar, by The Tribal Scientist
We are each one
Responsible for our choices.
More even in high level positions,

And much more even if we spend
Honest people's money and
Impact other people's lives.

 

Faithfully truly,
Κασσάνδρα Lyn

Precious Time ...

... and it goes running so fast.

Still, people keep on running for their ghosts of the past and fulfill their parents or ancestors' duties and lives. Remember, we are all products of our history. Until we release. They forget that each of us receives this one unique life for each our very own purpose. Our ancestors had had their lives. It was up to them what they make out of it. We have our life. Each of us.

It is up to us what we make out of this one given life.  

It is up to us, every single brandnew day.

Still, people keep on playing and acting out the dramas of their childhoods. No matter what age, it's up to us to leave those fears of our childhood behind. Including the fears of our nearests at that time which we have taken over like sponges that children are, or which were laid on us.

It's up to us to lay down false selves and therewith the false idols which we were set on. False idols like families that look perfect to the outside but which have absolutely no life inside or, in the extended version, are even severely sick as systems. And with that lack of truth and love breeding another love lacking generation (yes, Mams and men of the 50s in the Western hemisphere, its very likely you are meant. To understand, also you must deal with what influences you grew up at your time ... until you can release your history and release your children from those spells). False idols like 'being someone' when we own money, wealthes, play a role or own a 'position' or when belonging to those who show off with what they can consume but no create or pass on anything of worth at all. False idols like 'being liked' (my greets to facebook & co) by many which at a point will show that it has no meaning, and 'liking' does not mean being loved or appreciated at all but serves a totally different purpose. Also false idols like believing that if we only sacrifice our selves long enough then we will have served well.

There is a degree of every thing that works well when it is done and lived with the full conviction of the heart. And everything when it is to unhealthy degrees either overflowing or drying out, or when a measure is taken at the wrong place at the wrong moment or towards the wrong counterparts, can lead to critical unbalances which can destroy everything around and then has impact on many other systems and individuals.

We see that every day, in our times and with our levels of information more even than any generation before.

The question is: Whom will we have served well if we deny the given life with its chances to grow and its chances to really fully live, in the awareness of every One and every Thing around? Whom will we have served when we consider ourselves slaves to fulfill other people's demands and wishes, and never have found our own selves as we are standing in this world? Whom will we have served if we have submitted to pressures and taboos of systems installed by others and without having been asked, and never have followed what our innerst tells us and never have looked behind the curtains of the gigantic play?

It is a long way to find our innerst. But if we do not even start the journey one day, and if we continue postponing it over and over, there is no way at all.

The momentary time is so unbelievably perfect to understand all that.

In the awareness that every one of us can be blown up every single moment, we have the great opportunity to realize what life is really about.

For us.  For everyone, according to their possibilities. No one is asked more than he or she can. Don't underestimate your potentials. 

And it is up to us to become the men and women we were meant to be: Not stuck in 'bonds', 'contracts', 'constraints'  and 'chains', acting as 'instruments' for other people but never knowing who we are, but free to decide what we go for, 

every single day.


My love for also this new day,
wishing to everyone
to find and make their way,

Lyn

Some More on Hel

While reflecting a little more, out of the sudden I find a very interesting parallele (or pattern, or metaphor) on the tale (= what was told) on Frau Holle.

At the beginning there was, of course, a question. It bothered me the 'Why'. Why is it the 'older sister' which was preferred by the (material) mother? And 'why' was it the younger that was despised, did all the work and nevertheless was kept as a 'Cinderella'? Why was it not the older - in development, assumable - which was more busy and productive? Why was it the older which was indicated as more 'lazy'?

And look, it is the consciousness which is a 'younger' development stage in  humans. The brain as it is developed during time and therefore in all of us, started with very primitive patterns and with each development stage, 'younger' in age, this new achievements are integrated like 'add-ons'.

The basic programming though still exists - in all of us. This is what makes the latest achievements in neuroscience so interesting. And the basic programs are powerful. They were and are the drivers that we are still existing on earth. The basic programming, as existing in reptiles, is simple. Eat or become eaten. Also there are a lot of different strategies deriving from this basic principle.

And this explains why it was the 'younger' who could realize the needs of the 'bread' and the 'apples', same as the biblical books tell us about the sudden ability to 'realize' after eating from the 'fruit of the tree'. Of course, both are 'tales' and it is mostly difficult to find out what was the original core story and what was added by 'tellers'. Sometimes to make the story more pictoresque and vivid but sometimes, and that is how any communication functions, by adding their own personal view.

So when I ask 'why was it the older sister which was preferred', then I need to ask in a next step: WHO is this (earthly) mother? I will find out, I guess. At least 'she' must have been quite materially (an 'I' pod, probably).

Materials or matter do not matter at All. 

That's what the 'wisdom' of tales is telling us. Sometimes it is that we simply need to start the questions. The answers then will come. We only must be able to realize when they arrive.


Another of today: A lady who gave lots to others, was recalled last night.

Thanks, Whitney, for what you gave to others with your life, your music and your songs. More than once your songs literally saved my life (Because the greatest love of all ... ). There is no way I could express in words how grateful I personally am - as with me are many many others.

I Look To You Lyrics

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I’m lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I’ve been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song
I look to you


'bout to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head


My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!

Only love itself is able to give more than it ever receives ... on this planet.

Thanks, again.

A Simple but Obviously Necessary Statement

Before (or in case) some monolinear mentalities might interpret my variety of issues in errouneous ways:

All my thoughts simply reflect various views on and at various points in life.

If I write for or against anything, it usually mainly deals with the meta-view on matters regarding human affairs. Therefore, and such it was all times, I clearly like the meta-phors, as they create the link between the brain hemispheres.
(My recent psychologist whom I needed to solve a psychosomatic symptom ran mad with that my meta-view. Sorry for him. As formerly a shifted sinistral, I consider it a quality to be able to use both my brain halves, not a lack. But people for whom their soup bowl is the only existing world, certainly have a problem with broader approach.)

If I write against some catholic habits, I could at the same time write about the traumata for children with circumcision under circumstances which are quite habituous in other mentalities in the world.

What actually interests me only and most is the sanity of humans in general. This can not take place as long as many people are in-sane and either themselves or others have to severely suffer from this. And that is the main driver for me to point out where possible sources of in-sanity may be found and what and how many little steps are necessary to work ourselves out. As the old Latin guys knew: Mens sana in corpore sano. And my view, though already quite expanded, is only a little view. I respect the whole and holy, considering myself as just a drop in an ocean or just a little spark of a huge fire.

Clearly, I am considering myself as a world child, without so many preferences but with certain accumulated insights from very different sources, and in-tuition, too.
The essences, principles and cores of human insight exist by default every where. Just to dig down to the essence is the real art as so many interests try to drive us away from getting to the core, and especially from our very very own core - our self - by creating and filling us up with so many illusions (see Latin 'ludus' - play, so things that play on us).

A funny incidence that happened to me yesterday: At my acupuncture, usually a little egg timer indicates the end of the acupuncture session. At a point, the physician's assistant came in to ask if my 'egg timer' had already rung so that she would take out the needles. As I had been so deeply in my 'work' there, I really couldn't say. But the lady lying next to me, elderly obviously (just guessed by the voice), felt an urge to state that yes, the egg timer of mine had already rung. The assistant nevertheless realized that it had been her own one for another purpose that she had heard. And so it was. Some time later, my egg timer really rang.

What reminds me to learn from this, again, little daily metaphor?

Well, obviously already a shere question by someone regarded as an authority can create in people the illusion that they really had experienced that. This shows just how vague indeed perceptions so very often are. People's brains play tricks on them if not really they educate (e-ducate?) their brains well. So better we doubt until we know rather than think that we know what was or is not there.

And again, I am talking about the 'self which consists of the 'Ich' or 'Isch' and the godly self, 'Isch-Ah'. Not the 'I' that is caught in 'I-Pods' or such, and also not the 'self' which is included in 'self-ish'.


I would herewith like to share the recent input by a friend which appealed very much to me:

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly NOW. Love mercy NOW. Walk humbly NOW.

You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it
.”


(unclear if Talmud or a mashup. If anyone knows, please let me know)
