If I were her I wouldn't know I'd been me.
If we are all extensions of a single Mother Mind, then we are all part of one and the same being. I believe it is so. That the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts and we're all connected intimately at the energy level. it is a connection deeper than our awareness and affects us on a level we call "instinct."
When one of us has an experience, by connection we all share it. We may not have personal awareness but our Mother Mind, the whole that is greater than the sum of it's parts, recieves the experience directly. From that, the whole organism down to the human awareness level experiences change. The change of each experience is subtle but over the course of history, of course, we've all changed to a more compassionate and caring earth, because we must. Our source is becoming more experience and understanding and from that, compassion and empathy must naturally flow.
So let's compare myself and Paris Hilton. Both of us had beauty in our youth, she's still there, of course. hers will last longer for access to resources, but that's okay, it's more important to her. She was born a princess, royal, so wealthy that the one thing she doesn't need to worry about is how she'll support herself, ever. Or how to earn enough to get something she wants, ever. That woman can just up and buy a ticket to space if it strikes her fancy.
Now many would resent her out of jealousy. Others would just longingly wish they could switch places. I'm more of the latter sort, but then I have this crazy realization all the time.
If I wished to swap places with Paris, and got my wish, I'd never know. She'd beome me, and I'd become her, and we'd only remember being ourselves. She could have indeed been me and I could have indeed been her and the roles switched, see? But because the path you live is who you are, she will always be her, and I will always be me, and if wishes were fishes we'd live in the sea!
I don't have a lot of wishes these days. I have goals and plans and desires, but a wish is something htat's so big you only think god or serendipty could deliver.
Firstly, I want my health back. Secondly, I want to succeed with my bus plans and thirdly, find a great place to base ourselves near the ocean in BC. Also, to not wind up divorced at some point. :-)
My health, yes. You might notice I'm not dwelling on it so that's a sign I'm better.
Lemme see. Gross: I'm still dealing with a partially blocked anus. Nothing else is blocked from what I can tell, so that's great. The blockage is less of an issue when not inflamed and with enough fiber I've been getting evacuation, so I'm feeling a lot better. I'm pretty thin in a good way, and still eating pretty spare portions, but feeling a lot less pain.
I even went out today. I went and bought things for my lower back. Couldn't find a heating pad you can lay on, they all forbid it in the safety list. So I got a gel pack style heat pad. I found new pads for the tens machine so fired that up too, and bought a shallow rubber maid tub to fill with epsom salts and hot water so I can soak my butt without filling the whole tub. It's working too, but now, at the end of a day spend vertical, I'm starting to really ache. So I'm off to lay down asap.
