CHOOSE AGAIN
In this post, I discuss the subject of what thoughts we choose to think as a follow up to the post a couple of weeks ago on our thinking habits. See THINKING THOUGHTS ABOUT THOUGHTS https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/thinking-thoughs-about-thoughts
Specifically, this post is about becoming more aware that we have the ability to choose the thoughts we wish to think. At times it's difficult not to dwell on mind-numbing thoughts that often intrude into our minds. But when we realize we can displace these unhappy thoughts by choosing thoughts of higher frequencies, we become vastly empowered. Unless, of course, we choose to remain in thoughts of fear and victimhood as some prefer, consciously or unconsciously.
Choosing again sounds simple, and yet hardly anyone understands what that means because we default to our old habits of undisciplined, semi-conscious thinking. There is an 'art' to thought, and it consists mainly of self-awareness. We must remain aware of what thoughts we identify with because if we don't, they will choose us. This requires an exercise of our will. Do we prefer to wallow in thoughts of misery or to lift our thoughts into gratitude? See Sowing Happy Seeds of Gratitude https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude
In my previous post on thoughts, I emphasized how our thoughts determine who we are. As the proverb states ‘as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” In this, I emphasize how we can determine our thoughts. So, in essence, by determining our thoughts, we determine who we are. To illustrate this concept of ‘choosing again,’ I have included an excerpt from chapter nine of my yet unpublished fifth novel; Elysium’s Passage: Mystical Romance.
This dialogue, between James and Julie, however, requires some explanation since each exist in a higher dimension on earth. James’ third dimension body remains in a coma in London which they affectionately refer to as the fall guy since he (James) fell down a mountain abyss. Julie is embodied here as Julianne’s super-consciousness. James is in love with Julianne, his nurse in London, but has just met her doppelganger, Julie, the night before at a gala party of extraterrestrial human beings held within a gigantic cavern inside a mountain in the Andes. Now he’s really in love.
If this doesn’t make sense, that's understandable. It will probably be necessary to read the previous four novels for greater context. In any case, the point of including this excerpt is to discuss the concept of ‘choosing again.’
If nothing else, I hope this much will make sense. So here goes...
I stepped outside on our stone ledge’s natural balcony, if it might be called that, to enjoy the view and allow Julie time to prepare for our going out, although I had no idea what more she could have done to herself to look even more perfect. I guess, when there’s an infinity of choices, manifesting just the right outfit takes some deliberation. As for me, I decided to wear my sporty khaki outfit, the same one I materialized for my first visit to London.
‘This is a mountaineer’s heaven, Julie,’ I said as she continued to fuss about in her large wardroom of clothes; the same I remembered seeing in her flat.
‘I’m pleased you are enjoying Julianne’s bedroom in the Andes,’ she said. ‘I know how much you relished your time there while on your London raid.'
‘As pleasant as that was, this is better. Where else in the world does a bedroom have such an altitude to view the world as though it were from the heavens? I can even see my Summit ridge far off in the distance.'
‘Speaking of the heavens, it feels like some of it found its way inside this Magic Mountain last night. If you’re a foretaste of Elysium, Julie, why would I ever want to go back?’
‘Maybe to find heaven on earth… with Julianne.’
I had to think about that for a moment. Could I integrate the experiences of my new self here back into my old world? Would Julianne be my guiding angel to help me create this new world on earth? I wasn’t sure the fall guy’s ego would follow her. What would I do about my ego? Or, more importantly, what would it do with me?
But then, my angel of light had charm… and a black-belt in Ju-Jitsu. Yes, I smiled, I’m sure there might be some interesting times ahead.
It seemed to me that no one in the whole illustrious crowd last night showed any signs of ego-centred behaviour or any such personality disorder. What a refreshing change being with so many enlightened souls in one place.
This contrasted sharply with some of my bitter experiences at work. I thought of what it would be like to go home to certain colleagues writhing about in their viper pits of intellectual condescendence and arrogance. I’d rather return to the days of my merchant sailing. At least these were honest down to earth, hard-working mates who had better things to do than show how much smarter they were to everyone else.
Julie joined me on the ledge outside, smiling, then stared curiously at me as though picking up on the darkness of my thoughts. As far as I knew, she wasn’t a mind reader, but then… she was a woman. Or, perhaps it was just my changed continuance.
‘Is there something wrong James?’ she asked. ‘You seem troubled.’
‘No, not at all,’ I said.
But I wasn’t being completely truthful. Without being fully aware of my thoughts, resentments of the past had resurfaced, seemingly out of nowhere. What triggered this, I didn’t know except they were the opposite of everything I had been feeling. But wasn’t I beyond all that by now? Obviously not… a most sobering thought.
I remembered Mo and Eli often quoted an old proverb that said: Guard your heart more than any treasurer, for it is the source of all life. If I would do this, they suggested, old negative thoughts patterns would eventually weaken and dissipate. That’s why it was important for me to remain vigilant about this, be it on earth, or in other realms.
‘I don’t believe you, James; what are you thinking about? I can tell something’s troubling you.’
‘Okay, Julie, you’re right. As I reconsider, I admit my mind was clouded with vindictive thoughts towards certain colleagues I regard as snakes in the grass, doing all they can to thwart my career. But thanks to you, I’m aware of what was going on in my mind.'
‘So, can you reassess these thoughts that don’t feel so good?'
‘I suppose I can, but I’m not sure if I want to. After all, they are vipers, or at least it seems that way at times.’
‘But what if, in reacting to your feelings towards them, they consider you something worse?’
‘It’s true; many consider me a bit edgy at times since none of them have been sailors. At least I’m not afraid to speak my mind. Still, considering all I’ve learned here, I’m a bit surprised and disappointed that I can experience such rancorous feelings in this realm of tranquillity. How is this possible to have such contrary feelings at almost the same time?’
‘You know, James, there are a couple of phrases that Julianne has recently read and continues to repeat to herself. These have really helped her; maybe they will help you too. It's something everyone needs to learn in life, no matter how many lifetimes it takes.’
‘Now I’m most curious; what are these phrases?’
‘Only your thoughts can hurt you. The other is, choose again.[1] The wisdom contained within these few words have been spoken of in many different ways by many sages through the ages, but nowhere has it been more succinctly stated.’
‘That’s it, nothing more?’ I asked.
‘As I’m sure you realize, James, the simplest statements are often the most profound. We all have the power to choose our thoughts to avoid those thoughts that would hurt us. When she remembers, these phrases work very well for Julianne, although she often forgets them. But she is getting much better at practising mindful, intentional thoughts. Don’t be surprised if this is the first thing she teaches you or tries to teach you.’
‘Yes, I think there is much to what you say since it’s rather apparent our thoughts can make us unhappy and even hurt us.’
‘So then, James, why do you bother to think these thoughts when you already know they will make you feel bad?’
‘That’s a good question. Why indeed?’
‘Julianne asks herself this all the time too. But the more she is aware of these unwanted thoughts, the less power they have over her as she refuses to identify with them.’
‘I suppose if I were to be honest with myself, I probably want to identify with my thoughts of vengeance, which probably say more about me and my judgemental attitudes than about other’s behaviour.’
‘Though your adversaries might have their weaknesses,’ she said, ‘so does everyone on the earth plane.’
‘It’s good to remember that,’ I said. ‘As Mo used to say, this is why we return to lower dimensions such on earth; that we might work out our foibles through our relationships with everyone and everything.’
‘So, what if you’re seeing these colleagues of yours through a prism of dark thoughts that you allowed into your mind? Why not choose instead to see through a prism of light thoughts? What would happen if you offered to take these vipers of yours out for a pint sometime, maybe on a Friday afternoon after classes.’
‘I suppose that might turn into a rather interesting sociological experiment,’ I said.
‘But wouldn’t it also be a fine exercise in choosing again?’ she asked. 'Why suffer from dark thoughts if you don’t have to. Don’t happy thoughts feel better?’
‘Of course, but from my experience, the fall guy would rather be right than happy.’
‘But if he knew better, would he still make that choice?’
‘I hope not; however, he can be rather stubborn.’
‘But did you see anyone needing to be right last night? I saw only a desire to be happy; how about you?'
'Yes, indeed; everyone seemed to be perfectly happy being happy. So, why is it so difficult for us to experience more of this joy back home?’
‘Maybe it’s because humanity fails to realize happiness is a choice.’
‘I think that’s true. At least according to Aristotle who said: happiness depends on ourselves. So simple, yet no one seems to understand what’s so basic.'
‘But now you know, James. You can choose happy thoughts rather than defaulting to the thoughts of your ego-mind.’
‘Unfortunately, happy thoughts don’t seem to come to me easily,’ I said. ‘Maybe it’s because I think too much about other things.’
'I’m not suggesting it’s easy for Julianne either, but as she continues to practice the art of choosing again, she’s becoming happier and patient, even among troublesome people.’
‘That’s good, considering how the fall guy is often more determined to be right above anything else.’
‘That was in the past,’ she said. ‘When you return, get him to see what is right in others rather than what he perceives to be wrong. Once he understands this, relations with your colleagues could significantly improve and might not be as big of a deal as you suppose.'
‘Your right, most likely they just envy him, that’s all; you know, his good looks, brains and humility.’
‘Seriously, James, find out what their problem is and then look for solutions.'
‘I’m not sure it’s going to be that easy.’
‘James,' she said, gazing at me sternly, ‘how will you know if you don’t ask? Wouldn’t it be better to make friends out of your enemies that will advocate for your career, rather than undermining it? Trust me, they will perceive you differently if you perceive them differently.’
She was right; how would I know what might happen if I choose to put my ego aside. Amazing what a sidelong glance can do to bring things into perspective.
‘If only I could get the fall guy to choose again, Julie. I doubt, however, if he’ll remember any of this discussion.’
‘If he gives Julianne a chance, she will remind him… constantly. Be prepared.’ she said with a mischievous twinkle in her eye as she stepped back inside. ‘I’ll be ready in a few minutes.’
Yes, I thought, I’m sure if Julie had anything to do with it, Julianne would have much to teach the fall guy. Hopefully, he would put his ego aside to listen to her. I chuckled to myself… if I know me, that might take a while.
Looking over the range of mountains again, I reflected on how privileged I was to receive this foretaste of paradise that had nothing to do with owning gold, silver, real estate or my doctorate certificate. I had finally come to the point where I was beginning to understand that love is the only thing that is real because it is what makes everything else real, including me.
I thought of how just a short time ago I didn’t understand any of this with my mind, but now all that had changed. Through the opening portals of my heart, I was able to witness how Elysium had become infused in each soul last night and understood how divine splendour dwells in the midst of all loving relationships, even among those who deny their spark of inner divinity.
While I remained with Julie in the days and nights ahead, all I had learned on the Summit and later on the islands, I began to discover the essence of love’s meaning, not just in words but within relationships.
In Julie, I found God; in God, I found Julie. And not just Julie, but through Julie, I discovered the divine presence in everyone. No, not all at once and certainly not always, at least until my mind caught up with the love and wisdom that had transmuted my heart by Elysium’s light.
I went inside again. She took my hand as she stood before me, looking the only way she could; supremely beautiful, befitting the goddess she was.
‘I’m ready now, James. There’s somewhere I want to take you that’s special.’
Special, I thought, what could be more special than where we already were?
I was soon to find out! And as usual, I didn’t see it coming. This would be a day of astonishing bewilderment.
[1] Phrases from A Course in Miracles
_______________________________________
In sum, what is most important to happiness is becoming aware of what thoughts we are thinking and identifying with. After a while, they tend to stick and become 'us' because we don't consider alternative thoughts. By learning to chose again, we escape the trap of thoughts that make us feel habitually worried, unhappy.
Once we are aware of what thoughts we are unconsciously thinking, we can intentionally choose new thoughts that will be constructive to our happiness rather than destructive. Don’t creative, loving, solution-oriented thoughts feel much better and make life easier?
There is no better way to break out of the ego-mind's prison than by choosing each morning again to being grateful for all you can think of. It takes us to a whole new vibe for the day. That's the point of my post on the topic of gratitude with you may read here. https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude
The ego-mind, however, if not challenged, will keep us perpetually trapped with thoughts of unhappiness, worry, victimhood, fear, envy, anger, selfishness, entitlement, etc. Until we wake up to realizing we are thinking these pernicious thoughts by default, we will remain imprisoned by them. It's not what's 'out there,' but by what's 'in there.' As the ancient saying states, As within, so without. So CHOOSE AGAIN.
What you think makes you unhappy is not what you think; what you think is that makes you unhappy. (You might have to think about that statement for a while before you get it.)

YOU HAVE LEFT YOUR REASON
Sometimes I feel like Chekhov and want to yell at every politician, every ‘health’ technocrat, every MSM anchor, every journalist and tell them they have all left their reason and have, in their deceptions, taken every wrong path.
They have not only intentionally exchanged heaven for earth, but earth for hell. Its inconceivable to me, that with the hindsight of 2020 and everything they have created, they just keep lurching from lie to lie in this nightmare. Countless deaths and broken lives have been left in the wake of their lies.
One early report was a ratio of 12 COVID restriction deaths for every COVID death. However, considering the escalating deaths due to delayed surgeries, drug overdoses and suicides, etc., I wouldn’t doubt if this was several times that now. Most of these unrelated deaths occur to those under the age of 60.
On the other hand, for those under the age of 65, there are approximately only three (3) COVID deaths in a million. Out of Canada’s population of 35 million, that’s only 100 deaths. I’m not certain, but I believe only 6% of these deaths were caused by COVID rather than with COVID.
And so, for the sake of these three in a million (3/1,000,000), how many others have been sacrificed in the name of ‘safety?’ Looking at the real numbers of death, which vary from region to region, I think its more than just apparent, COVID was never the problem… but COVID restrictions were.
Even my mother who is in the hospital dying at this moment, was strong until the restrictions came in. Then I was no longer allowed to visit her most of this last year and, like many others in the senior’s home, she quickly went downhill and just wanted out of her lonely existence seeing nothing but masked workers.
Even when she was admitted to the hospital, I couldn’t see her. The draconian restrictions are the real killer, but then, that’s what fear does... it kills. I’m sure, based on how robust she was, she would have had some happy, quality time left rather than suffering the indignities of fear and isolation.
I’m outraged by this and outraged at the almost universal compliance I see everywhere with so many hiding behind their masks in terror. The government and media every day are telling everyone to be safe, social distance, isolate, lockdown, wear a mask, quarantine. None of these measures was necessary or scientific, although plenty of junk science was invoked, to justify the insanity.
I have included many articles and videos by courageous doctors and scientists who have told the truth about what’s going on based on established science rather than government fear narratives.
If you are not aware of my three posts on this blog site that relate to what’s happening. These three posts are:
Corona Virus Controversy: Herd Immunity vs Lockdown
https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/corona-virus-shut-down-or-herd-immunity
Just Say No
https://digitalbloggers.com/relationships/just-say-no-to-masks
To Vaxx or not to Vaxx
https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/vaxx-or-not-vaxx
I have summarized below some of the issues identified in these articles.
· In Canada, only 2,000 die of this ‘virus.’ (Deaths/Population in Canada.)
· Even with these, it's highly suspect how many actually died of the virus considering how few now die from the flu. And, isn’t it also interesting how old age, heart disease deaths have miraculously disappeared.
· In Canada there were twice as many who died of the flu in 2008 than the COVID virus last year.
· The average age of COVID death is 85 years, older than average life expectancy by a few years.
-- and even these, only 6% without pre-existing conditions.
· Only 1 in 300,000 of those below the age of 65 die of COVID, almost always due to extenuating pre-existing conditions. That’s just three in a million. So, what was the point of this exercise?
· According to the latest reports by Alberta Health Services, there were 1,601 fewer ICU admissions in Alberta hospitals in 2020 than in 2019. Where are all the patients that the media constantly report?
· PCR testing is not reliable and is meaningless for accurately diagnosing COVID-19 positive cases. Even the inventor make this disclaimer.
· Morbidity/mortality of COVID-19 has not exceeded seasonal influenza.
Before going further, it would be a good idea for readers to listen to this short podcast clip of Dr Hodkinson, (a doctor of impeccable credential) addressing a government body about the absurdities of today’s COVID restrictions. Not surprisingly, This clip was taken down by YouTube but is now up on Rumble https://rumble.com/vbgk8f-dr-roger-hodkinson-testifies-on-covid.html
So why has social media, MSM censored all those who attempted to share the messages of so many courageous doctors and scientists who risk their careers and credentials? Not to mention death threats against their lives such as with Dr Hodkinson.
Let me ask, do you think if people knew the truth they could be so easily controlled? As the saying goes, “your ignorance is their power.” The narrative of fear is powerful and so are its advocates when our power is given over to them. Fear, control, power and money; hasn’t it always been that way?
Speaking of money, a good portion of what MSM receives, be it TV or newspapers, is income from Big Pharma and so these will be the last place the truth will be told; only lies.
There are several, inexpensive drugs that work extremely well against viruses and have done so for decades throughout the world, but were shunned by health authorities as soon as the ‘pandemic’ arose. Remedies that for decades have proven to work within the cell and actually reduce viral replication are Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin, Doxycycline and Azithromycin and (to varying degrees) Artemisia.
Governments and health agencies with pharmaceutical interests generally refuse to consider these, even though studies, particularly with Ivermectin have proved with study after study to successful treat COVID and other viruses. (See the video on the US Senate hearings). Certain global health non-governmental organizations, including WHO, CDC, are closely associated with and involved in vaccine development. Is it no wonder they dismiss anything else that might work?
However, these same agencies along with the governments throughout the world are not only endorsing but attempting to mandate these COVID-19 vaccines. None of these being promoted have been FDA approved and are in effect only experimental. Proper tests have not even been conducted on animals.
Big pharma is protected by the government and so has no liability for any deaths or injuries that might result from vaccine injections. These are seldom reported but are attributed to other co-morbidities. (See the Robert F Kennedy Jr article.)
The Great Barrington Declaration was signed by almost 65,000 medical practitioners and medical/health scientists, who have raised grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies.”
The declaration was authorized and signed in Great Barrington, Massachusetts on Oct. 4, 2020, by Dr. Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard University who is a biostatistician and epidemiologist with expertise in detecting and monitoring infectious disease outbreaks; Dr. Sunetra Gupta, a professor at Oxford University who is an epidemiologist with expertise in immunology, vaccine development, and mathematical modeling of infectious diseases, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a professor at Stanford University Medical School who is a physician, epidemiologist, health economist, and public health policy expert who focuses on infectious diseases and vulnerable populations.
So, if society is this fearful, irrational and gullible, what might things be like for humanity in the future? Will Bill Gates get his wish to depopulate the earth to one half billion as he has publicly suggested?
Even after things become apparent that the human race is not dying off like flies, I suspect something else will come along within a few years to terrorize the masses using the same formula of fear, lies and mass socio-psycho manipulation. It doesn’t have to be true, just believable. And with fear, people are prepared to believe most anything… as is most apparent today.
The fearful will still be fearful, and if they are not, they will be taught to be so. What other purpose would the masks serve among the millions of children forced to compromise their immune systems by recirculating germs and carbon. It certainly has nothing to do with their health. Rather, they are being programmed to be fearful and subservient to authorities for life. To me, this tyranny is worse than anything George Orwell predicted in his novel.
However, I remain optimistic that in the long run, the divine light of love will shine through the darkness of fear despite the trends lost life and relationships through drugs overdoses and suicides, due to various government restrictions.
How long that might take will depend on the receptivity of the masses and how many among the enlightened way-showers will empower and inspire the masses to overcome the state-sponsored hysteria of fear.
I hope I live to see the day, but while I remain here, I’m determined to do what I can to demonstrate love, light and freedom by speaking the truth against the tyranny of fear and deception. I hope you will join me do the same.
It’s our divine appointment!
If nothing else, please begin by passing this post on to all who might appreciate it. Thanks

“AS A MAN THINKETH”
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes
Mahatma Gandhi
What do we do more than anything else? The answer, I think, is… we think. Think, think, think. That’s what we’re always doing, even while reading this.
But what do we think about most of the time? Do we even know? Maybe that’s something worthwhile to think about. I think it's fair to say that the mental act of thinking is neither good nor bad. Rather, it’s what we think about that has consequences for what might be considered good or bad (to our happiness).
So, the question is; how much do we reflect on what we think? Do we even know why we think what we think? Who and what are we reacting too, and why? Can we see a trend; a certain predisposition of what thoughts our mind defaults too when it's not intentionally focused? Is it predominantly productive or more of a lazy mind?
The fact is, if we wish to be sovereign over our lives and to know ourselves, we must become aware of what we are thinking. Why? Because it’s our thoughts that ultimately create our reality. Thoughts aren’t just thoughts. They become things, events and circumstances by which we live our lives. In fact, these aggregations of thoughts become the very substance of our spiritual being and determine the quality of our character.
Proverbs 23:7 states: As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. In 1903, English writer James Allen wrote a book simply called As a Man Thinketh. In it he writes: As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains…. a man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
Our thoughts have consequences because they are the filters to how we view life. Thoughts of victimhood will make you a victim because you believe you are a victim. The same goes for entitlement, often witnesses in how many in the world thinks about themself. It's no mistake that Karl Marx’s evil ideological empire was based on thinking these thoughts.
And so, victimhood, envy, fear and resentment became the reality for millions in this world… just as the ego would have it. Because of this, 150 million lives were sacrificed in the 20th century. Does this not illustrate how important it is to examine our thoughts?
On the contrary, thoughts of prosperity, love, and gratitude become the harbingers to prosperity, however, it might manifest, be it friends, family, creativity, happiness, etc.
In my case, prosperity and success in writing a series of seven novels while creating a successful blog site. Who knows, perhaps all my writing will make me a few dollars someday. But then, that’s not the point; my abundance is creating what I’ve set out to create. (However, if Netflix wants to produce a ten-part video series out of my novel series, I won’t say no… if the price is right.
Unfortunately, much of our world today is filled with thoughts of fear, division and anger, whereby we pollute the field of our consciousness (noosphere). MSM and much of social media reflect this toxicity as it heaps more and more garbage thinking upon us, and as it's often said, Garbage In, Garbage Out (GI-GO).
If we choose to think negative thoughts, our world can become negative and fearful. If we think positive thoughts, our world becomes positive and loving. As the ancient Egyptian maxim states “as within, so without.”
Seems obvious enough, and yet it seems few understand this basic principle. There is a proverb that tells us to guard our hearts more than any treasure for it is the source of all life. What do we guard our hearts against? It's our thoughts? We must be vigilant with what thoughts we allow to take residence in our minds so don't compromise our life's happiness. For further discussion on this see Guard Your Heart https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/guard-your-heart
Once we’re aware of this, we become empowered by intentionally choosing what thoughts we wish to think or not think. That’s when our happiness becomes a choice; do we choose happy thoughts or unhappy thoughts. It’s our choice: happiness or unhappiness.
When we have differences, we need to step back and ask: would we rather be ‘right’ or be happy? If our preference is to be happy, we will be more predisposed to release our ego’s need to win the argument. So, when we find ourselves distressed by our thoughts, we need to become aware of what’s behind this “choosing again" by displacing negative thoughts with what's positive.
I can think of no better psychological method to accomplish this than by practising Holodynamics techniques. For information on this, go to, HOLODYNAMICS https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/art-of-holodynamics
I’m not suggesting it’s always easy to reprogramme the mind. Often it takes discipline and awareness before positive thoughts solidify into waking consciousness. But as we make the effort, over time we eventually succeed provided our heart is in it. If our heart isn’t, then our mind will remain lost, unhinged and confused.
Thoughts must be subordinate to the heart. Though the mind is necessary and essential for life, still, unto itself, it’s not sufficient but requires union with the heart.
The heart (or soul), is our portal to divine love. And so, when the mind enters into full union with the heart, they become one. This is what it means to be ‘full-hearted.’ It’s not just about knowledge, but a synthesis where wisdom emerges. For more on this topic see Union of Heart and Mind
https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/union-of-heart-and-mind
In becoming ‘fullhearted’ we remain thankful, grateful and appreciative by allowing the heart to provide whatever leadership and inspiration the mind needs. Read more about this in the post, Sowing Happy Seeds of Gratitude https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/sowing-happy-seeds-of-gratitude
We don’t have to settle for what’s out there, even when so much negativity seems to impinge itself on us. We can shut down all that doesn’t feel good rather than feeding the ‘pain-body.’ So, run in the other direction from whatever doesn’t make us feel good. Turn off the TV and seek out high-vibe thoughts in nature walks, meditation, inspirational literature, quality videos, uplifting music, happy friends, etc. See the post Raise your Vibe https://digitalbloggers.com/book-reviews/a-higher-vibe
Remember, the thoughts we think are not neutral, each has its own vibe or frequency. Just like radios become attuned to what sound waves they receive and transmit, so do we receive and transmit thoughts. As sound waves have their frequency, likewise the thoughts we chose to receive and transmit have their own conscious frequency and calibration. For more on this, go to How Conscious are you? https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/how-conscious-are-you
Our divine Source is love, not fear, and so to be fulfilled as conscious beings, we need to seek out the happy zone for which we were created. How do we know where that might be? A good place to start is to find where love is, and fear is not. To do this we must become aware of where we’ve attuned our hearts and minds, and consequently, what we’re thinking.
It's helpful to remember that our ego’s delusions, if allowed, will keep us disempowered in a negative swamp because that’s what it does best. With permission, I’ve included the following essay by Marie-Ève Bonneau, a psychotherapist and writer that speaks of the distractions that lead us astray and what reconnects us to our divine Presence within.

Corona Virus Controversy: Herd Immunity vs Lockdown
https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/corona-virus-shut-down-or-herd-immunity
In this post, I take a strong stand against masks, supported by evidence of true, uncompromised experts, But first, I ask a few questions.
Why do we wear masks? Or as disrespectfully refer to them as 'mouth-diapers'
Because ‘they’ tell us to?
Because ‘they’ say they know more than OSHA safety experts
________________________
Below is a video interview with Chris Schaefer, OSHA, Occupational Health and Safety consultant regarding masks.
https://www.facebook.com/1ofme/videos/10158917720984439
Copy and paste to watch. If you’re not informed of the truth about masks, you may be surprised to find they are not just useless but possibly dangerous to your health. This interview is an excellent source of information. As you may be aware, this perspective is not what mainstream medicine is publishing or what you will often find online. It's our choice who we wish to believe.
I made a few notes on this interview since FB, YouTube and other Big Tech giants seem rather determined to keep us from hearing the truth by experts who know what they are talking about. Likely this video will be soon be taken down, so I have made some notes.
Here are some of the main points:
There are no masks specifically designed for viruses such as COVID (or any other).
A million virus molecules can sit on the head of a pin, and so masks will not even begin to prevent penetration through masks, or even through the skin. They pass through us as though we’re not even there, like dust blowing through a chain-link fence.
Most masks worn by the public are N-95, the lowest level of respirators and not designed to protect us from anything than larger airborne substances
Not to be worn for long periods under any circumstances, and only then for very limited, specific purposes that have nothing to do with viruses.
Non-medical coverings provide no safety. None! They have no positive effect, only harmful. They are not respirators and have no filtering capability.
The first priority for health practitioners should be to the building of healthy immune systems. A match struck in a green forest don’t cause forest fires, only in old dry forests. Immunity is everything.
Viruses penetrate through the eyes, nose, ears, and skin.
Non-medical masks are health hazards because:
- They deprive us of oxygen since they're not designed for breathing. Not rated for safety, no ventilation valves for breathing, thereby severely compromising immunity.
- Restrict airflow, which is a great danger to anyone with pre-existing health conditions(.)
- When worn for hours cause dampness and humidity further increasing the breeding of exhaled germs into more bacteria, compromising health, attracting fungus to the lungs, leading to pneumonia-like conditions.
- Children have a high demand for oxygen which masks severely restrict. And so, schools requiring masks have become a dangerous place for children. (There was not one COVID school child death of 2 million students last year in Canada… so the question is why are we doing this to our children.)
- Even hand sanitizers in public places such as schools are a health hazard. They become poisonous through skin absorption into the bloodstream.
- Dentists are now reporting mask-mouth, a condition that, after time, can destroy teeth.
Viruses can’t hurt us if we have a healthy immune) system. It seems doctors don’t wish to talk about this, but it’s the most important thing that health officials need to be telling the public, especially about the benefits of Vitamin D, Zinc, etc.
Please listen to the full interview because I’ve only noted the highlights

Further to the above, Chris Schaeffer has written an open letter to the health authorities in Alberta. He has been working and testing masks safety for over 20 years. Here’s what they say about masks. This person has no agenda, just health and safety.
Open Letter to Physicians and the Public of Alberta
Dear Dr Hinshaw,
Re: Alberta Health recommendation that Albertans wear N95, surgical or non-medical masks in public to reduce the likelihood of transmitting or developing a condition from the coronavirus known as COVID-19
I have been teaching and conducting respirator fit testing for over 20 years and now currently for my company SafeCom Training Services Inc. My clients include many government departments, our military, healthcare providers with Alberta Health Services, educational institutions and private industry. I am a published author and a recognized authority on this subject.
Filter respirator masks, especially N95, surgical and non-medical masks, provide negligible COVID-19 protection for the following reasons:
1. Viruses in the fluid envelopes that surround them can be very small, so small in fact that you would need an electron microscope to see them. N95 masks filter 95% of particles with a diameter of 0.3 microns or larger. COVID-19 particles are .08 - .12 microns.
2. Viruses don’t just enter us through our mouth and nose, but can also enter through our eyes and even the pores of our skin. The only effective barrier one can wear to protect against virus exposure would be a fully encapsulated hazmat suit with cuffs by ankles taped to boots and cuffs by wrists taped to gloves, while receiving breathing air from a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
This barrier is standard gear to protect against a biohazard (viruses) and would have to be worn in a possible virus hazard environment 24/7 and you wouldn’t be able to remove any part of it even to have a sip of water, eat or use the washroom while in the virus environment. If you did, you would become exposed and would negate all the prior precautions you had taken.
3. Not only are N95, surgical and non-medical masks useless as protection from COVID-19, but in addition, they also create very real risks and possible serious threats to a wearer’s health for the following reasons:
A. Wearing these masks increases breathing resistance, making it more difficult to both inhale and exhale. According to our Alberta government regulations on respirator (mask) use, anyone that is required to wear a respirator mask should be screened to determine their ability to safely wear one.
Any covering of the mouth and nose increases breathing resistance, whether the mask is certified or not. Those individuals with pre-existing medical conditions of shortness of breath, lung disease, panic attacks, breathing difficulties, chest pain in exertion, cardiovascular disease, fainting spells, claustrophobia, chronic bronchitis, heart problems, asthma, allergies, diabetes, seizures, high blood pressure and pacemakers need to be pre-screened by a medical professional to be approved to be able to safely wear one. Wearing these masks could cause a medical emergency for anyone with any of these conditions.
Pregnancy-related high blood pressure is possible. More research is necessary to determine the impact of wearing a mask for extended periods of time on pregnancy.
It is dangerous to recommend, much less mandate anyone with medical conditions to wear a mask without educating them about the risks involved in wearing them without having been pre-screened and approved by a medical professional first.
B. In order for any respirator mask to offer protection to a specific user, that user must be individually fitted with the right type, right size, if male – face must be clean-shaven (only short moustache allowed). Next, the user must be fit tested with that respirator by a trained professional to determine whether or not the respirator is providing the user with an air-tight seal – a requirement for any respirator mask.
C. N95 masks – N for not resistant to oil particles, 95 for the percentage of protection – the lowest level of all respirator masks
These masks even when properly sized and fitted will not protect against virus exposure, however, they are capable of adequate protection from larger particles such as pet dander, pollen and sawdust.
Surgical masks (the paper ones that loop around the ears) – do not seal to the face and do not filter anything.
Nonmedical and/or homemade masks are dangerous because:
● Not engineered for the efficient yet protective requirements of easy inhalation and effective purging of exhaled carbon dioxide
● Could cause an oxygen deficiency for the user
● Could cause an accumulation of carbon dioxide for the user
● Shouldn’t be recommended under any circumstance
D. They increase body temperature and physical stress – could cause a high-temperature alert on a thermometer gun
E. They impede verbal communication
F. N95, surgical and nonmedical masks can create infections and possible disease all by themselves by causing exhaled warm, moist air to accumulate on the inside material of the mask, right in front of the user’s mouth and nose, which is the perfect environment for bacteria to form, grow and multiply. That is why N95 and other disposable masks were only designed to be short duration, specific task use and then immediately discarded.
So if masks are not effective in preventing illness, what is? How about the age-old tried, tested and proven method of protecting our health with a healthy diet, clean water, avoidance of processed, junk and fast foods, plenty of fresh air, sunshine, moderate exercise, adequate restful sleep and avoidance of stress?
We all have an immune system that can fight and overcome any COVID-19 threat if it is healthy and we nurture it.
Thank you for reading this open letter and letting me share my expertise. I ask that you share this with the public via media statement as we are all committed to promoting good health for all Albertans. If you or any of the public wish to contact me with a question or comment, I would love to hear from you. I can best be reached at chris@safecom-inc.com

SUMMARY OF ELYSIUM'S PASSAGE NOVEL SERIES
Elysium's Passage a series of seven narrations regarding a young British philosopher named James Phillips, who finds himself living in an altered state of reality while still remaining on earth.
After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who provide him with a very different perspective on the nature of his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding of life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe.
An engaging and sometime surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality, and our ultimate destiny.
The Plains of Elysium (Champs-Élysées) was described by Homer, Hesiod, Virgil, and many other poets as the paradisiac afterlife realm reserved for heroes. As the title suggests, this is about a journey through a passage that leads towards Elysium’s exciting realm of existence.

Summary Introduction to Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage
After experiencing a near-fatal fall while climbing to the summit of a remote mountain in the Andes, James awakens in a new dimension. He soon encounters two mysterious beings who provide him with a very different perspective on the nature of his existence. Over the next year, before his body recovers from the coma, he is challenged to re-examine his understanding of life’s meaning and purpose far beyond anything he previously believed or could believe. An engaging and sometimes surreal adventure with intimations of impending romance, the narrative explores the most important questions about life, death, reality and our ultimate destiny.
Chronicles of Elysium’s Passage series to be published in 2024
1. The Ascent is the first novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage series that’s foundational to everything else that happens in the following books, embarking on an adventure that will surprise and delight the reader like no other book.
It all begins with an extreme adventure of climbing a remote and challenging mountain somewhere in the Andean Mountains. Just as James, the protagonist, is about to reach the mountain summit, he falls into an abyss that leaves him in a coma for almost a year.
After being airlifted by a forestry helicopter and flown back to London, where his body remains for almost a year. Eventually, he learns it was not him but his body that was rescued. Several days later, without understanding what happened, he continues to climb to the summit in an alternate dimension of higher consciousness.
Fortuitously, he meets two adventurers on the summit ridge who are no longer of this world. After that, his surreal life leads him to several new adventures in the subsequent chronicles that include a rich mix of adventure, romance, and fantasy, along with profound discussions of philosophy, spirituality and the afterlife.
2. The Summit, the second novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage series, carries on where James, the narrator and protagonist, is taught more about a multidimensional reality that he finds difficult to comprehend.
Not only does he find he’s not as clever as he imagined, but his off-world companions on the summit demonstrate that much of what he believed about life was not just parochial but wrong. At first, he finds this difficult to comprehend since their teachings are contrary to his limited understanding of non-material reality.
After being tricked into teleporting off a ledge where he was trapped, James becomes aware of the new reality that makes him capable of far more adventures than could have ever been experienced previously in his physical body back home.
Now, if only he would win over the only woman in this life who matters, the nurse on the other side of the veil, who continually demonstrates her unconditional love toward his healing.
Warning: This book may also open the reader’s eyes to a much vaster reality than most might be aware. As with the other Chronicles, there are discussions of philosophy, the spiritual afterlife and what might seem like fantasy.
3. Quantum Leaps is the third novel in Chronicles of Elysium Passage, where James, the philosopher-protagonist, teleports back to London to visit his body and make contact with the special nurse taking care of it in his absence. Immediately, he feels an inexplicable spiritual bond with her for reasons he remains unaware of.
Now aroused by a renewed interest in matters of love, the beginnings of a relationship begin to emerge as he attempts to reach across the chasm of their worlds. But it’s not until the fifth novel, Mystical Romance, that he encounters her in a way that he finds difficult to believe.
However, before that can happen, there is much about his failed relationships that must be resolved before he is ready to move forward in his new life in Elysium’s Passage. It is during this time he christens his comatose body as the fall guy since it took the fall for him down the abyss so he could learn the lessons he’s now learning.
That will be the next focus of his life, where in his next Surreal Adventures, he is given virtual lessons to release many of his past beliefs about life.
4. Surreal Adventures is the fourth novel in the Chronicles of Elysium Passage, which finds James, the protagonist and narrator, escorted by his companions to a remote South Pacific Island, where he is left to reflect on what he’s learned.
During the next forty days, he battles the demons of his past as he works through some rather painful issues from his early youth. Here, in a tropical storm, he encounters an eery suspended spectre of the one he loved yet still resents for abandoning him as a child.
After this, he achieves peace of mind and is ready to return to his lodge to join his off-world companions on the Andes summit. However, just when it seemed things couldn’t get any stranger, a sixteenth-century sea captain sails his ancient ‘ghost’ ship onto the beach. Together, they sail off on a mystical ocean voyage to a couple of virtual islands supposedly in the South Pacific, where he witnesses and, at times, participates in several important life lessons.
His surreal encounters in the Flatlands illustrate the deficiencies of contemporary academia. Next, they sail off to the next island, the Hill Country, where he witnesses several peculiarities in organized religion. These experiences, though virtual, provide him with fascinating and enlightening allegorical examples of his life in the world.
Near the end, these encounters help prepare him for a new challenge within the interior of a mountain, where he falls deep into a dark tomb of fear. After being rescued by a mysterious stranger wielding his Excaliber, he continues on to where his life is about to be transformed in the following chronicle, Mystical Romance.
5. Mystical Romance is the fifth chronicle in Elysium Passage, which will surprise the reader with a romantic twist of how love is expressed in higher realms. From this lofty perspective, everything about intimacy is understood as within, so without.
After escaping his tomb, James, the narrator and protagonist, makes his way through a maze of tunnels until he arrives at a large oak door, which he opens with the golden key he had been given. There, he steps into Elysium’s Passage’s Great Hall, where his life and recent achievements are celebrated now that his eyes have been opened to perceive a fascinating interior world of wonderment… and romance.
To say more might risk diminishing the multitude of delightful surprises as circumstances begin to open to The Elixir, where James is about to re-enter his earthly body’s existence.
6. The Elixir is the sixth chronicle of the Elysium Passage series that prepares James, the narrator-protagonist, to awaken and return to his body in London. Before that can happen, however, his off-worlder friend presents a mysterious equation enshrouded with a light code frequency that will stimulate multidimensional DNA strands within him.
Much of this narration is centred in London, where his nurse unknowingly becomes involved in how the Elixir’s equation finds its way from a taxi cab driver to higher echelons of science. There are many twists in how she unwittingly brings the Elixir to the attention of mathematicians and physicists, after which they eventually discover how to code the equation into a laser ray to stimulate his fall-guy body into full consciousness.
Ostensibly a new Adam, he is destined to return humanity to a higher multidimensional existence. How this happens is filled with intrigue, as is his shocking return to his earthly body.
7. The Return is the seventh and last chronicle in the series where James, the narrator and protagonist, has re-emerged from Elysium’s Passage as he readjusts to life in the third dimension. Many of the events experienced in the previous novels are tied together in an exciting, fast-moving, action-packed narrative.
Now, back in the third dimension, all memories seem to have been lost, with his fall guy’s brain not being aware of what happened to him in the last year. As a consequence, it takes a while for him to be convinced he had been out of his earthly body for almost a year.
Through some rather unexpected events and his girlfriend’s urging, he is brought to an awareness of much that occurred out of the body. Though much of the chronicle, this brain hasn’t caught up to the changes he experienced in his heart in the alternate realm.
Through some harsh life lessons back home, he discovers what he has become and the many challenges that lie ahead of him in fulfilling his mission to bring change to this planet.

The following comments are excerpts from among the first readers, including a number of Amazon five star reviews. To read the full reviews, go to READER REVIEWS on www.elysiumspassage.com or directly at https://digitalbloggers.com/arts-and-entertainment/reader-reviews
"A delightful mix of fantasy, reality, conjecture, and humour; Mr Meyers draws the reader into the story with a gentle narrative that captures the imagination, leaving one anxious to get to the next page drawing you into his exceptional world.”
"Quietly, gently, and without imposition, the Author unfolds the pages, creating an intricate, interlocking bridge spanning the chasm between mind and heart. Renewing, refreshing, restoring. In my bereavement, it was vigil and light…"
“Excellently written with an exceedingly deep understanding of this world and the next. The characters are very well written and engaging. I can't wait to complete this book!"
“Takes the reader on both a philosophical and spiritual journey, a journey that at times is both disquieting and tranquil. James, a British Philosopher, can be irreverent and caustic, traits that should have left me cringing, but instead made me laugh out loud. Elysium’s Passage is a fun, enlightening and remarkable book.”
“This is a masterful fantasy, becoming a real possibility, as the reader is drawn into the story. The Summit leaves you anxious for the next book in the series, yet also leaves you totally satisfied with the world you have just visited. Genius! An exciting yet calming experience that is not to be missed."
"There was hardly a page on which I did not find at least one sentence worthy of hi-lighting for future reference. In addition, I thoroughly enjoyed the main character, James, whose personality and passionate verbal exchanges with the other characters, kept me coming back for more. I am reading the book for a second time while I wait for the next one in this series to be made available."
“N.G. Meyers has clearly put a great deal of research and thought into what the afterlife may look like and I like his perspective. It’s an altogether welcoming and exciting vision. The book gives one a great deal to think about and a reassuring confidence that the end of our lives is truly the beginning of life in the next. I highly recommend it."
"I am really enjoying your book, it’s fantastic! It is so incredible and diversified that I can’t really explain it to other people, so what I say is just read this book. Thank you so much for the blessings that you’ve given the world!"
“The humour interjected into a serious discussion makes me laugh out loud. Totally unexpected....l may be in the presence of at least a master, if not a genius. A fair ride into reality... seeking that which is unseen, yet absolutely real.”
“An engaging story of adventure embracing man's deepest desire to search for meaning and purpose, N.G. Meyers takes the reader on an adventurous thought-provoking journey. This book has substance. It is a perfect blend of adventure and fantasy combined with spiritual philosophy. It ignited my imagination. The author magically weaves a good story laced with wit and humour together with deep philosophical wisdom. This book has it all!”
“An evolution in thought is triggered by many fresh philosophical themes which could inspire readers to re-think their reality and former ideologies that have dictated their lives… the author fires readers’ imaginations to view what could be possible when spirit vacates the body.”
“This is the book spiritual seekers have been waiting for. For me, it granted a great read as well as increased inspiration to live every day with a heightened sense of purpose. I highly recommend it.
“The Summit is capable of hooking readers and luring them to search for Book 2 to discover more about Dr. Philip’s surreal trek into the mysterious unknown universe. This thick book is well worth the read and to share…”
“Mind-blowing statements and speculation (‘…everyone is a non-physical thought form conceived in the Mind of God, preserved for all eternity because God’s thoughts never die…’). Many will find Meyers’ journey up the Mountain intriguing—and possibly even life-changing.” (BLUEINK REVIEW)
“In its effort to grapple with fundamental questions about the meaning of life, it raises questions that have echoed throughout the ages, including about where we come from, where we are going, who we are.” (CLARION REVIEW)
