Sol's on hols :(

The weather forecasters seem to have got it right, big black clouds are above ah well, was good that I sat in sun on New Year's eve, reserving strength for the evening, we went up to the Plaza about 11.30 the town hall was handing out bags of streamer hats and spray snow, bottles of champers being handed around - the firework display wasn't one of the best this village has had, but wee Martha loved every minute, so we bopped a while and then came home and a relatively early night - must be me age LOL
Yesterday the village was the proverbial ghost town, quieter than a Sunday, it suited me as I was in a deeply meditative/contemplative mode for most of the day - a good start to a New Year
Awareness of souls I should make contact with, there were some "electric" hugs happening as the midnight chimes rang out
Village life will resume and then stop again for the 3Kings which is bigger than Xmas here, so we have a 3 week long holiday!!

EQUANIMITY - Pick a recent event and review it in light of various possible emotions - like happiness, anger and fear........

"What is indifference? ......it means in reality the achieving of a neutral attitude towards that which is regarded as the NOT-SELF. It is active repudiation without any concentration upon that which is repudiated." and there's more :)
"If I were asked to specify the outstanding *fault* of the majority.......it is the expression of the wrong kind of indifference, leading to an almost immovable pre-occupation with their personal ideas and undertakings........"{Ponder On this Lucis Trust}

A few excerpts from my starred items - all good and inspiring stuff

All diseases have been healed We do ourselves a great disservice when we believe that we have a particular sickness and call it by name. When we do this we are discounting the fact that each of us is a unique being who has had different experiences, different parents, different genetics, and so forth that brought us to the state of imbalance we are dealing with.........

Whether you are conscious or subconscious, you can no longer hide: mankind is in transformation and keeping up with the pace of change. The new flow that has been started is the frequency of Self-reflection. We can create anything we want and the process of creation is confirmed faster than ever. However, do we ask ourselves critically what it is we really want? Do we dare to take a closer look at what our fears are? Our insecurities and the ways we think about ourselves? How often are we still criticising others, or someone else’s work or actions. How often are we still distracted by focusing on our environment or even the world?

Peter Singer draws some conclusions from this that I do not want to do myself, but the important point is that people's moral judgments have far more in common than used to be thought. There was a time when people loved to emphasise the alleged differences between different societies and hence the relativity of all moral judgments. But it seems we all inhabit a moral realm which we can recognise as such.

Watched Dogma again last night having realised that I must have fallen asleep first time - makes me laugh and makes me cry - I like it.
