I have had a lifetime of being told I was wrong and psycho for caring about other life forms:
I studied world religions (as an elective) at teachers college (as a mature student) in the 1970’s so I was aware of Ahimsa:
But found that people of our culture who claim to be Buddhists or similar do not really understand this:
They stick with their cultural programming that only humans matter.
So if, like me, you think other life forms should be respected for who they are:
Please say so.
It upsets me that people kill insects, spiders, mice, snails, trees, snakes etc
All are sentient and have a “soul”.





Enjoy your day


Managed to walk my best friend this morning
2nd time in a month
When walking back to the car there was a mother duckling and tiny babies next to the path:
Riley didn’t bother them 😃
unfortunately I hadn’t taken my phone so couldn’t take a picture.
My Dad always said “Count your blessings”
and I do.

This picture is my son; a staffy crossed that was my Dad’s dog: me and my Dad.
Dad walked the staffy every day even though Dad was blind:
Off on a tangent that is typically me:
One day Dad took the wrong turn and couldn’t work out where he was:
I eventually drove around looking for him because he had been gone so long and teased him for getting lost when I found him.

Two weeks after Dad died my mother said the dog wasn’t well and asked me to take her to be euthanized
This I did:
I realized later that mother just couldn’t be bothered with the dog and was so mad at myself for believing her.
Back to counting my blessings
I have avoided the medical system having suffered from medical and surgical mistakes
But necessity is the mother of invention:
I am in so much pain I cannot do much at all
After this mornings walk I am unable push myself to stand up –hopefully I will in a few hours
I am allergic to pain relief.
But as much as I would love to be able to do my own housework I am finally going to have to accept “home help”
Hope that this person adheres to my wishes
as I do not kill anything and won’t use harsh chemicals or poisons.
I feed the birds and anyone who lectures me (as they have done in the past) that the birds have to find their own food:
Will be told-
The human plague has destroyed the homes and resources of all other life forms
If I don’t feed the larger birds they eat the small birds.
If I get lectured that my trees are a fire hazard (as has happened many times)
“I haven’t seen any trees walking around with cigarette lighters lighting fires.”
Having trees and birds around my home is one of my many blessings
A crow:
(and crows are intelligent enough to know humans are cruel and thoughtless –
actually most other lifeforms give humans a wide birth including snakes)
sits on the pagola by my kitchen window when she wants me to feed her.
If I don’t see her immediately she caws.

Words of wisdom from my Dad that I have shared before
“Why worry
If you worry you die
If you don’t worry you die
So why worry”
Last century I watched a video (tape) of Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra
I find them interesting
I don’t necessarily believe everything any one of them teaches
But I appreciate their wisdom
A chemist friend told me (last century) that when testing drugs they allow 25% for placebo effect
Deepak (the only one still in this reality) introduced me to the concept of “NOCEBO”
This is just a preview but the movie is free on YouTube
I also like “What The Bleep”
I have watched it many time (bought the DVD long ago) and I learn something new each time.
Enjoy your day
and please respect other life forms

THIS IS A REBLOG BUT MY MOTIVATION THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT
I am having trouble leaving the house and am trying to psychoanalyse why:
(Any one whose fight and flight response is dysfunctional knows that it is difficult to know if there is a real reason for panic or if it is unnecessary)
****************************************
Original post =
I was motivated to blog this because an acquaintance complained about her husband’s depression and anxiety:
Claimed she just couldn’t understand why people were like this.
PTSD and PND were not acknowledged in my day

I had 63 years of abuse starting when I was a baby.
When I was younger I was very good at pretending that I was OK (when I wasn’t):
I attended teacher’s college as a mature student:
(Because it was free—thanks to Gough Whitlam)
The head of the psychology department commented what a happy go lucky person I was:
I had recently had my teeth knocked out and my face stitched:
I thought if I can fool you I can fool anyone.
When I had my face stiched the nurse patronisingly told me that her husband never abused her!
feeding the usual – “you must have deserved it” – concept
It wasn’t until this century after seeing an excellent psychologist
and a doctor who had been the victim of abuse
that I realised I didn’t deserve it.
This doctor said that she had only suffered mental abuse but having suffered both I know that mental abuse is worse and does irreparable damage- and told her so.
As I find myself going off in a tangent as usual 😛
This is so me

Having suffered almost a life time of physical and mental abuse and at least seven major traumas:
I am very aware of how it affects physical health.
I walked my dog early Saturday morning:
just a short walk around the block:
We passed a house with two large dogs:
one brown and one black:
I thought “there is no fence”:
we walked on and I thought –
“there must have been a fence”:
then the huge black dog came charging toward us
Riley is my first little dog,
he used to play on the beach with dogs big and small until one day he was attack by an “holiday” dog
that fortunately had a band around its mouth and I was able to pull her off Riley:
Another time Riley was attacked by two grey hounds
whose humans said “they think he is a rabbit”:
then by a border collie:
He used to play with a border collie so it is the dog (or it’s human) not the breed .
Anyway now both my dog and I are very wary of big dogs:
as this dog bounded toward us I said
“Stop –Go home”
and he did.
But I had chest pains that felt like an heart attack (that lasted all day) but I realised it was anxiety.

Because from the early 70’s I believed we create our own reality I worked on self-healing.
I would remind myself what Fakirs could achieve.
I googled “fakir” but it didn’t give the information that I was looking for.
Considering Google “says” Malleus Maleficarum is about witchcraft
when it actually about torturing people so that they confess to being witches,
What did I expect.
The following from Doreen Valiente’ss “Natural Magic” inspired me:
Mehmet was told this when he thought he would never be a shaman:
“Believe in the possibility of what you intend to do,
Hold it strongly in your mind
And it will happen.”
A Marion Weinstein’s “word power” I use often:
I have changed the wording a little:
“Both consciously and subconsciously
I am always creating drawing to myself
and participating in
the most perfect circumstances for my own fulfilment
Creating perfect health in all dimensions of my being”
Thankyou to those who read this far:
Enjoy your day
Please respect nature and other life forms


Most humans think that they are intelligent and caring yet they continue to destroy the ecology and waste resources?
Wise people have been warning us that we are destroying the ecology long before I was born.

And we are still being told

Please RESPECT other life forms
Blessed be


IT IS DIFFICULT TO PRACTICE AHIMSA IN A CULTURE THAT BELIEVES ONLY HUMAND MATTER
Although you can no longer be put to death for not conforming to the status quo you may be ridiculed abused and treated with contempt.
It used to worry me that I didn’t fit in: but I couldn’t even pretend to believe as everyone else apparently did.
When I was younger women had no rights nor status and children were to be “seen and not heard”.
Men were expected to be promiscuous and women were expected to be virgins.
And when (in high school) I commented on the double standards and said
“So how is that supposed to work”?
I was told by my peers that that was the way thing were meant to be.
I was involved with women’s lib and we were ridiculed and abused by other women.
Gays were put in mental institutions until 1955 even after this was stopped they were still considered deviant.
People whose skin wasn’t white were considered the lowest of the low.
Because I treated indigenous Australians with respect I was abused and labelled a “gin” lover
(gin didn’t refer to a drink 😛 )
I recycled in the 1970s and was ridiculed for this.
I was in animal liberation and a vegetarian (sadly not vegan)
I was ridiculed and abused for this.
As a child when I refused to eat meat my mother would serve up the same meal for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it:
Accompanied by a belting for not eating what I was given:
And threatened with being put in a mental institution which could have been done in those days.
Even this century I have been ridiculed for being vegan.
But I am also encouraged by the fact that many of the younger generation care about other life forms.
Many people have told me to get rid of the trees on my property because they are a fire hazard.
I haven’t seen any trees walking around with a cigarette lighter, lighting fires.
When I lived in the suburbs the man in the house behind me asked me to remove two huge pink gums:
When I asked why he said “The leaves are falling on my lawn”
A neighbour a few years ago told me to concrete my drive way:
said it wasn’t good for my car the way it was.
When I politely refused she said:
“I am only trying to help you”
I sometimes question whether humans are indigenous to this planet.
Other life forms will not reproduce if there is not enough food for their offspring.
Other lifeforms communicate = they just don’t talk:
And I wonder if there isn’t some collective consciousness connecting all life on this planet (excepting for humans)
I HOPE PEOPLE TAKE NOTICE OF DAVID ATTENBOROUGH
ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND

Interesting to see if I can publish — Word Press “says” i am not allowed to use “These ” terms — what terms? — Calling God SHE?
—– IT WAS CALLING IT “WOMEN’S LIBERATION”
Helen Reddy died 29th September 2020
Brought back memories of the nineteen seventies when I was involved with Women’s Liberation.
We would sing “I Am Woman”
I watched The movie about Helen’s life:
Love where Helen’s character calls God “She”
— In women’s lib the saying was “If God is male: then male is God”
and of course a few jokes — like
“When God created man She was only joking”
Now a days women can have a bank account: buy a house: have a career: and are no longer just property!
Enjoy your day


The news this morning was that George Pell was returning to the Vatican
He was originally convicted of one count of sexual penetration and four counts of committing indecent acts.
When this conviction was over turned I cried
Last century in a twelve step programme I heard stories from men who had been sexually abused by priests.
This movie is a true story.
Enjoy your day

I was working 12 hour shifts and doing crystal ball readings on my days off, in a new-age book shop, when James Redfield first published The Celestine Prophecy
The proprietor showed me the book and said “This is only for beginners.”

I didn’t think so:
I found it interesting:
I especially liked his theory on control dramas.

A wise friend now deceased used to say don’t people please.
I know many people can identify with trying very hard to please a parent in order to get their approval and never succeeding.
Applying James Redfield’s ideas we are literally giving our power away.
I know I have given my power away by trying to “people please”:
Once I realized what I was doing and stopped, believe it or not my health improved:
I also cleansed my chakras:

This is one I use:
Chakra Cleansing
Bring a beam of white light down through your crown chakra – violet – above your head- 5cm in diameter – spinning – As the white light swirls through each chakra it cleanses it making each colour brighter. Check each chakra for cords. Unplug cords: seal your end with white light which changes to the colour of the chakra.
Take the beam of light through the following chakras repeating the above.
Third eye – middle of forehead – indigo
Throat – floating above voice box – blue
Heart – middle of chest – green
Solar plexus – 3 cm above the navel – yellow
Sexual – above pubic hair – orange
Base – at base of spine – red
Take the white light to the soles of your feet -2 minor chakras – then into the earth. Bring a broad band of white light back up over your head. It then divides into two & fountains back into the earth.
I also like Carol Ann Rowland’s Zensight chakra balancing

This is from “Mother Wit” by Diane Mariechild
Before starting this “meditation” decide where you want to go:
Either somewhere you have never been or seen but will be visiting in the future
Or a friend or family’s home so that you can check with them what you “see”.
Sit or lie comfortably and relax.
Enjoy your day
And please respect
and appreciate other life-forms
