During the holiday season a well meant greeting becomes a reason to closely examine motivation that caused the greeting to be issued. While the Christmas season is one of initial good intention lore and family gatherings it also has a dark side. The power of suggestion is often used either knowingly or robotically opening the door for a sales pitch.
Now don’t get me wrong on this, the ‘feel good’ bliss of the holidays is not a bad thing, it is something that needs proper perspective… much like canned laughter voice tracks which we often ignore for the sake of being entertained by today’s modern comedy sitcoms. While watching television we tend to laugh along with the imaginary people that we hypnotically interpret to be a large studio audience. We join in with the recorded staged laughter regarding the program which may not be all that funny.
While having a long phone conversation with a former Rose student living near Columbus Ohio last week we began conversing about being with Rose as he pointed out the T.V. canned laughter which we where formally oblivious too along with covert mannerisms that might mean more than what the people are apparently attempting to say. I have learned it is best to ‘listen’ to what people aren’t saying and ‘hear’ what is between the words.
But getting back to the holidays, while we are knocked off balance by feelings of ‘warm and fuzzy’ a product is presented that is going to cost us money. The product will be a gift to a ‘loved one’, another politically correct phrase which has come from the transgender devotees. In the name of the ‘good cheer’ of the season we mechanically reach for our wallet and pay for the presented product or the organizational ‘good cause’ so we can feel good about our generosity and delight in the feeling of joining in with the pack
Well have a pleasant Holiday Season and be careful for the vultures will feed on loose change and credit cards alike.

Re: ‘Tis the season’
I had made mention that we are broke. The wife needs glasses. So I made suggestion that what we have could buy a pair for her if we pooled together. I guess I am going to get something I don't need nor an affirmation of what we all need. Warm and fuzzy back at-cha

Re: ‘Tis the season’
Friend Dale, Thanks for mentioning the fact that this holiday finds many of us strapped for cash so your idea of pooling the money is a terrific suggestion. You have been at the top of your profession before so the projectionist in you can do that again. Since you are asking directly I must say that the situation will take care of itself. More important is defining who it is that is going through the turmoil, Is it you? are an observer of the situation?
“I am just tired man. No one to talk to face to face and I can't afford to be a seeker anymore. I am gonna take a chance here and ask what you know.” I know what going to center will do, Meet me there; I have comprehension that you know what I mean when I say go to center. If your girlfriend connected easily mentally to your former mentor that is something that females can do, they are open receivers while men are more directional so we need to allow our guard to drop and our intuitive receiver to come on line. Do what ever is necessary to naturally still your mind and hear the sound of the emptiness that is silent. TM type meditation is good for stilling the mind as is Huna. Contact me via email again and we will talk again more privately. - Ghar

Re: ‘Tis the season’
(I) just love it Ghar-har-har. The situation will take care of itself. (I) am not of the situation. Today was about laughing. (I) love to laugh. Meditation is something (I) don't need anymore as (I) feel my soul pattern 3D. If that was not the case (I) would not be here. A rising of consciousness is what? (I) choose to be what (I) am. Comfort here is better with laughter. Smiling at cha love and peace of mind.
