Leigha, thank you for the profound explanation of the mind, energies, the spirit, and the moment. Have you read "The Power of Now?" Your philosphy sounds much like Tolle's. Makes sense to me. Love and Light, Lynn

Lynne
I am familiar with Eckarte Tolle's 'The Power of Now'. I had a peak at it before I gave it to my brother for Christmas.Thank you for your kind comments.
Dotsie I enjoy sharing in any way I can. I have found that many different ways of seeing can open the psyche further than it has gone before and am always open to further understanding.
Dianne I don't have voice mail or an answering machine. I don't get tv, just watch videos. I don't listen to radio. However, I do read 4 newspapers a day to see how the energy is moving politically, economically, geographically and environmentally.
I only check my email 2x a day and I leave the computer off when I'm not using it. I do not have call waiting, which I find terribly rude unless you're running a business and its on a separate line. To cut off a social call for another is terribly rude. It says to the person that their time with you has no value. Kindness seems to be eroding because of technology and conflicts over time. The mind loves to have conflicts over time and technology is providing that very problem.
With love Leigha

My husband, who is a restaurant manager, says that people have the patience of a gnat. He says it's getting worse. Say a dinner comes off the line wrong, and the dinner has to be redone. Well, customers expect instantaneous results, like they would get in their own kitchen with a microwave. I think his examples are indicative of the impatience we (the collective we) are developing due to technology. Instant chats, instant info...instant results. Dianne, I just noticed your new signature line about women who behave. It makes me think of the movie Iron Jawed Angels about the womens' suffrage movement. Those women did not behave, and we got the right to vote. LLL

Leigha, your posts always open my eyes and psyche to new possibilities...I especially like your phrase in another post: sometimes its best to just enjoy the moment and let the mind go. The greatest rest comes in not listening to the mind. It took me a long time to realize that for me, sometimes the most important thing I can do for myself is to do absolutely nothing at all...and I MEAN nothing...no thinking, no doing, no watching, no analyzing, no reading...just to sit there and embrace the moment of "being".

Amen to that too! I understand the need for people with kids, and people running businesses. But I too find it terribly rude, especially when I used to call a friend long distance, and she constantly excused herself to take the call waiting...sometimes it was justified if one of her kids was out and she was waiting to hear from them. But often, they were all home and she STILL did that to me...and it's not as if we talked that long anyway. Most of our calls were just a few minutes of catching up and staying in touch. Still, there I was, sitting silent on the other end, paying the long distance charges.
A few times, she took so long to get back to me that I just hung up. Then she seemed so upset that I hung up on her! Now I let hubby call her and find out all the news; interesting enough, she never takes one of those call-waiting calls when hubby's on the phone.
Anyway, Leigha, thank you for your posts; I always find tidbits of new wisdom to re-energize my own evolving.
