Friday night I switched off.
I do not watch TV (programming), I rarely listen to the radio (external noise) I no longer use social media. Websites do not classify. Writing a blog does not classify. I do this for me, for myself and for anyone else who is interested in my words and images.
I often switch off my phone.
Messages and calls? They can wait.
My alternatives? Music and nature. Walking, Hiking. A good book. House, garden, pets and meditation. Me time.
Unplug. Reboot.
Sunday. Beach day. Get lost in the sounds of the waves and a good book.
On the way back, I called by the Coop to collect one or two things.
I turned around and saw Sarah (from the running club) She was wearing a neon orange mini dress (not unlike mine) that I wore this time last year.
Sarah and I get mistaken for each other. We are both 'petite', and have similar colouring. Hazel eyes and tan skin. One of the running club members often addresses me as 'Sarah', and I think it is one of those situations where two people look similar and the name Sarah is easier to remember than the name Laura.
Sarah invited me to her BBQ, that was going on presently. I was not sure. Two of her friends appeared, also in orange clothing and they seemed nice. Orange is my significant colour - which I realised from a trip to Morocco, last year. I decided to go.
It was a good decision. I met some more lovely people, including a great lady called Ziggy. She is a black singer, singing teacher and performer. She wants to start a gospel choir in the local methodist church. This church has a new (ish) vicar called Helen Rose, whom I have met several times. She's fun, and lovely.
Ziggy had performed at a baptism, yesterday. Sarah and Mike's twelve-year-old son, Luca, had decided that he wanted to be baptised. Just like that. The BBQ was a celebration party, for Luca - who had made the most delicious cake : ) All of Sarah's kids were there and some other children. A couple, Carl and Trisha (and their daughter, Maya) from the Christmas panto production were also present. I like them, a lot.
The 'grown ups', after a spligarette or two, began to discuss spirituality and the meaning of it all. People are waking up, to the matrix, to the big cons and programming. I woke up to it, some time ago. It can make you feel alone. When you detach from the matrix, you give up a lot of things, people and places. You no longer see things in the same way. You also have to protect your energy as you see beyond the veil.
Universal Law, the Law of Attraction, Karmic debt, Karmic reward, Karmic relationships, *The Twin Flame journey, **144,000, ***The Akashic Records and the idea that G-d is a higher power, an energy. Everything is energy. We are all connected on Gaia and the matrix - the 3D trappings, propaganda, news, media, social media, TV programming, fear-based ideology - is effectively there to prevent us from connecting to our planet, our divinity, ourselves and each other.
I found messages this morning. I could not really be that bothered to answer them. They were just a bit futile.
I am becoming more and more unbothered with text messages. You want to talk? Pick up the fucking phone, or visit. I have got to a point, now, when a message comes through (ting) and I think 'What do you want?'
When you are an Empath many people rely on you because you have an emotional maturity and can handle other's emotions, including our own. People come to you with their problems and issues. We can be taken advantage of because Empaths can be selfless and always ready to help others. Empaths feel very deeply and can gauge an atmosphere or a person's energy. The dark side of the Empath is to neglect our own needs, too readily. We can keep our guard up, out of necessity, to protect ourselves/energy. In other words, go completely into our own inner world.
I am thinking of switching off my phone a lot more often. I have only so much energy, and only so much wisdom and guidance to impart. I am not prepared to neglect my own needs, need for rest, for reboot, for tapping into source energy and doing the things that I can enjoy alone.
The more alone time that I have, the less drained that I feel. I am very accustomed to spending time alone and I have noticed how many individuals struggle with alone time. They do not feel comfortable in their own company, they require constant distractions from 'self'. To sit with yourself, to meditate, to be is a place of intimidation for many individuals. To sit with yourself, comfortably, means that you are comfortable with who you are. To accept the light side, the dark side and to be in a place of honesty and connection with source. Many people run from themselves and their truth because it is easier. Many individuals prefer not to face themselves because they do not want to 'see' themselves and do not want to remove the veil. To 'let go and let G-d' requires faith in your own life purpose.
I have to be very discerning about whom I spend time with and whom I associate with. Some people would call this 'Lone Wolf' personality. I call it respecting myself and my needs and putting myself first. Knowing thyself.
