On the bus an empty bottle rolled on the floor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could also see that the rubbish serves a purpose: it is actually people's livelihood. There is a young Polish man, for instance, who cleans our neighbourhood. He's such a nice man to talk to. If everyone kept the neighbourhood clean then he wouldn't have a job, or he would have to find something else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People complain about disorder and want peace. Where would lawyers and police officers be if everyone was a model citizen? I'm not saying the dream of peace on earth is not achievable, everyone has to want it, including police officers and lawyers whose livelihood depends on disorder. Otherwise it's just another pipedream to be achieved at some distant future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So everything under the sun has a purpose. I believe it is up to each of us to decide when we've had enough of playing a particular game and focus our attention elsewhere. That is our freewill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, the purpose for which this blog was created has been served. It is now closed. Anyone interested in what my new purpose is, please go to &lt;a href="http://lovealways-ej.blogspot.com/"&gt;Love Always&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With love,&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/immortality.html"&gt;Immortality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-some-people-dont-want-to-wake-up.html"&gt;Why Some People Don't Want to "Wake Up"&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/dream-of-losing-and-finding.html"&gt;The Dream of Losing and Finding&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/its-autum-what-mess.html"&gt;It's Autumn!

For readers who have never heard of the Harry Potter phenomenon (phenomena even), it's a series of books penned by JK Rawlings about a boy called Harry Potter who goes to a school for wizards and the antics he and his friends get up to. I haven't read any of the books but I've seen the first film based on the first book. I thought it was fun but I never got round to seeing the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From what I could make out from the conversation the boy was having with his mother, they had just come from seeing the latest Harry Potter film and they were discussing the characters. Soon my bus arrived, I got on board and nabbed the last seat available, which was next to this woman who had her nose in a book.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halfway through the journey, the two young guys sitting in front of me left so I swapped seats. Now I was sitting in front of the woman reading her book. It was then I realised she was reading the latest Harry Potter book. The lady looked up from her book and smiled at me and I smiled back. Fancy eavesdropping a conversation of Harry Potter only to find myself sitting in front of a passenger reading a Harry Potter book. Now that's what I call magic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I had the thought all hell seemed to break lose. I heard squeals coming from the other side of the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Articulated_bus"&gt;bendy bus&lt;/a&gt;. Several passengers ran towards where I was sitting while a woman and her son ran out of the door which was open. What the hell is going on? It turned out two passengers were having a scuffle and they took their fight outside. One very compassionate passenger said to the driver: "Driver, let them fight, just drive on. I'm late enough as it is." I looked outside and could see two lads at each other's throats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After things calmed down, the woman who had ran outside got back in and the bus took off leaving the gladiators and their spectators behind. I realised the woman was the same one who had been speaking to her son about Harry Potter at that bus stop. I never realised she had got on the same bus. They sat near me. Her son was bawling his eyes out because the scuffle had given him quite a fright. His mother did her best to console him but he kept on bawling and holding his heart. Poor kid!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the boy and his mother got off I said to the woman opposite me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know that boy who was very upset? I heard him talking to his mother about Harry Potter earlier. Here you are reading Harry Potter."&lt;br /&gt;"How funny," she smiled&lt;br /&gt;"It's interesting though how he could watch a Harry Potter film and not get scared, but he looked terrified just now."&lt;br /&gt;"That's because Harry Potter is only fantasy, this is the real world."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I beg to differ. I don't see any difference between the dream called Harry Potter and the dream called travelling by bus. Both have a lot of fight scenes such as what occurred between the two passengers. Both dreams have magic as well. Harry Potter and his friends use wands and incantations to experience magic, and in this dream you only need to think about something and it happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I later found out from another passenger that the fight started off because one guy didn't like the way the other guy was looking at him. Maybe, they were fighting over who was the better wizard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess you could say that particular bus journey was a kind of magic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/black-comedy.html"&gt;Black Comedy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/dream-is-dream-is-dream.html"&gt;A Dream is a Dream is a Dream&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/lucid-dreamer.html"&gt;Lucid Dreamer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/playfulness.html"&gt;Playfulness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/now-thats-magic.html"&gt;Now, That's Magic!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/magic.html"&gt;Magic&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/magician.html"&gt;The Magician&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/i-believe-in-magic.html"&gt;I Believe in Magic&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-765136433570989340?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/765136433570989340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/765136433570989340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/its-kind-of-magic.html' title='It&apos;s a Kind of Magic'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-8536118708092254548</id><published>2007-07-21T15:27:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-21T16:18:23.629+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Heart Goes Out to You</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Sometimes when I'm reading the newspaper or watching the news and hear all these "horror" stories, I have a thought about how my heart is going out to everyone involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The moment I have the thought, I feel this love energy around my heart area well up and then I see it surge towards the people involved, surrounding them with love.

I smiled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since then, I've been thinking about what it means to be lucky or have luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just before I left this morning my mother asked me if I could take her prescription to the pharmacy at the local supermarket. She said she would pick up the tablets later. I told her I was going in the opposite direction unless she didn't mind me leaving the prescription later in the afternoon. She told me not to worry and she would take the prescription herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes I thought to myself, "What if my mother's request is telling me something? Is it possible the library I intend to go to is closed for some reason, which means I should be going in the opposite direction? That would make it a lot easier to run my mother's errand." I told mum I had changed my mind and I would take her prescription for her. She confirmed that she would be picking up her tablets later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I walked to the local bus station I had a thought. After customers have left their prescriptions, the pharmacists usually give customers receipts which they must have with them to collect their tablets. My mother is not going to be able to pick up her tablets if I have the receipt with me. So I went home and told mum what I'd just thought. She could see my point. She said she would take the prescription to the pharmacy herself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to head to the library I intended to go to before my mother's request. As I approached the bus station, I noticed the bus I wanted was already leaving. It took a while for the next bus to arrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At some point during my bus journey, I noticed five guys running to catch the bus at the nearest bus stop, which was three blocks away. I thought the only way they could catch the bus was either if there were many passengers waiting at the bus stop, or if they could fly. In any case, why would anyone run for a bus if they can fly? Having said that, I've seen many pigeons walk up and down stairs; I've even seen pigeons walking across roads and they're meant to have wings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I digress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the bus stop there was only one passenger waiting. As soon as the bus driver was about to pull away, a passenger in a wheelchair told the driver he wanted to get off. This meant the driver had to pull the bus closer to the pavement so the ramp could be let out. While this was going on, I thought about the guys I saw running and wondered if they were catching up on the bus. The first guy arrived and he beckoned his friends to catch up. By the time the passenger in the wheelchair got off and the driver let the ramp back in, all the guys had caught up with the bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That was lucky!" I said to the passenger next to me.&lt;br /&gt;"I was thinking that too," the lady said. "They were so far away I thought they would have given up by now."&lt;br /&gt;"Lucky for them that guy decided to get off when he did, huh?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it possible that what people call "luck" is simply the ability to connect to the One Will in the Universe? I guess if we all want to be lucky, we need to realise there is only one Will in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, when I arrived at the library, it was business as usual. It would seem that my journey had been delayed purely so I could witness luck in action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe luck is where one's intention intersects with the one Will of the Universe.&lt;br /&gt;I am Luck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/order.html"&gt;Order&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/will-power.html"&gt;Will Power&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/one-mind-one-will-one-moment-of-now.html"&gt;One Mind, One Will, One Moment of Now&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7245905970021524563?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7245905970021524563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7245905970021524563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-is-luck.html' title='What is Luck?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-8827366917534764747</id><published>2007-07-21T09:57:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:04:22.326Z</updated><title type='text'>Angels are Everywhere</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;In an email exchange I had with a dear friend, he called me his angel and I called him my angel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got me thinking that in fact we are all angels.

As soon as I had the thought, any time I approached someone, the person smiled at me and I returned their smile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later on my bus ride home, as the bus was pulling away from a particular stop, I noticed a black &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pit_Bull"&gt;Pit Bull Terrier&lt;/a&gt; dog barking at the bus and running alongside it. A woman shouted "Angel!" and the dog ran towards her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See what I mean? Angels are all around us including our animal friends.

These days, a drop of water is enough to make people start to panic about the end of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning there was a buzz in the neighbourhood. Apparently there was a severe weather warning of the possibility of flooding. At the local shop I got chatting to our neighbour who lives downstairs and she was scared of going out because she didn't want her husband trapped indoors in case it got flooded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's interesting that my neighbour was wearing a crucifix around her neck, which she told me she never leaves home without.

It is not Love's nature to hurt and destroy but to love. I would rather focus on love and be grateful about all the good that Love is being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what if it's raining?

(See &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/love-dispels-anxieties.html"&gt;Love Dispels Anxieties&lt;/a&gt;). She said she loved living in the estate because everyone is so nice and friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have met neighbours whose view have been totally different. One was scared of her neighbours; my neighbour downstairs doesn't like walking around on her own because she's frightened of being mugged. What's going on? Do we live in the same neighbourhood?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How one experience the world has nothing to do with the area or people but one's consciousness. In other words, we don't live in an area, we live in our consciousness. Is it any wonder my friend thinks her neighbours are friendly, she's so full of joy. Whenever I see her she gives me a big hug. I've never been to her house and I don't even know where she lives but I just know that we resonate in Love. That's why the moment I think of her, I end up seeing her at some point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since where I live has nothing to do with the area or people but my consciousness, this means I can potentially live anywhere. So instead of going by the area, I would rather focus on what part of my consciousness wants to be expressed now and let it appear in form.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just realised something. I've been thinking about where I'm going to live next. So instead of focusing on the area, I need to ask what part of Self/Consciousness wants to unfold next, which will then manifest as a suitable form. Oh, I get it! That's why certain things have happened recently. It's all going according to plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you, Infinite Love, for appearing as my friend this morning who gave me this insight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live and have my being in Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/love-dispels-anxieties.html"&gt;Love Dispels Anxieties&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-do-i-know-which-articles-are.html"&gt;How Do I Know Which Articles are Relevant?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/being-in-love-reminder.html"&gt;Being in Love - A Reminder&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/delays-are-in-perfect-order.html"&gt;Delays are in Perfect Order&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/going-whole-hog.html"&gt;Going the Whole Hog&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/intercession.html"&gt;Intercession&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/location-location-location.html"&gt;Location, Location, Location&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/me-mine-my-myself-and-i-are-one.html"&gt;Me, Mine, My, Myself and I are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/love-in-love-out.html"&gt;Love In, Love Out&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/revisiting-causeless-cause.html"&gt;The Causeless Cause&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/who-is-really-in-charge.html"&gt;Who is Really in Charge?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2006/01/when-being-good-is-not-enough.html"&gt;When Being Good is Not Enough&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-640053966733374395?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/640053966733374395'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/640053966733374395'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/not-neighbourhood-but-ones.html' title='Not the Neighbourhood, But One&apos;s Consciousness'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-7894967348209264574</id><published>2007-07-18T10:08:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-18T13:42:04.238+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Love Dispels Anxieties</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I was running an errand this morning which meant taking the local bus in the opposite direction. While I was waiting at the bus stop and chatting to my neighbour my young friend aged 19, who lives in the neighbourhood, arrived. After we exchanged hugs, she said she was in a hurry as she had to be at &lt;a href="http://www.gatwickairport.com/"&gt;Gatwick&lt;/a&gt; airport. She said she was meant to pick up a passport from someone at the airport before they travelled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend said she'd never been to Gatwick on her own and didn't know how long the journey would take. I said when she got to Victoria, instead of queuing up to buy her train ticket, she could head off to the "Gatwick Express" section and get her ticket from there. Then she should catch the "Gatwick Express" which takes only half an hour compared to the slower trains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the bus my friend was feeling frantic because of the traffic jam. She wondered whether she should walk to where she's meant to be meeting someone. I reminded her that after the traffic light, the bus will then travel on its own lane, which will speed the journey. I said there was no need for her to worry. She was doing the best she can. She could just see this as a nice trip out of London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After she relaxed, she told me she went on a boat party on the Thames at the weekend. I asked her if the boat had moved but she said it was stationary. She said she was glad the boat didn't move as she get sea-sickness. I told her many years ago I went on a boat party that moved up and down the Thames and it was a lot of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend said though she feels sea-sick she doesn't mind going on roller-coasters. We chatted about the ones at &lt;a href="http://www.altontowers.com/"&gt;Alton Towers&lt;/a&gt;. She told me about a ride called &lt;a href="http://www.altontowers.com/content.php?areaid=1&amp;pageid=17"&gt;Oblivion&lt;/a&gt; where you plummet into darkness. She said she loved it. I told her about &lt;a href="http://www.altontowers.com/content.php?areaid=1&amp;amp;pageid=15"&gt;Nemesis&lt;/a&gt;, which we both agreed was scary but fun. She said she would be visiting Alton Towers at the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon it was my friend's stop. She thanked me for my advice and I wished her happy travelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny how my friend stopped worrying about her journey when she focused on sharing what she loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/immortality.html"&gt;Immortality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/putting-love-first.html"&gt;Putting Love First&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/no-fear.html"&gt;No Fear!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/05/dont-worry-be-thankful.html"&gt;Don't Worry, Be Thankful&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7894967348209264574?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7894967348209264574'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7894967348209264574'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/love-dispels-anxieties.html' title='Love Dispels Anxieties'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2758233577617321570</id><published>2007-07-17T15:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-17T15:53:03.148+01:00</updated><title type='text'>How Do I Know Which Articles are Relevant?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Infinity chooses," he said.

Do I go through the thousands of articles I've written and flag relevant articles?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Lord, no!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that it is Infinite Self that chooses which part of Self It wants to express as me, which manifest as experiences and ideas. Once the idea unfolds itself in whatever form it does, the related articles arise as one. All I need to do is to let the related articles come to mind and then link them at the bottom of the current article. It is that simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good question, thanks for asking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/11/playing-it-stupid_21.html"&gt;Playing It Stupid&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/infinite-self.html"&gt;Infinite Self&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/in-perfect-oneness.html"&gt;In Perfect Oneness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/12/creation-is-reaction-to-wh_110379989683897804.html"&gt;Creation is a Reaction to What Already Is&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-2758233577617321570?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2758233577617321570'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2758233577617321570'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-do-i-know-which-articles-are.html' title='How Do I Know Which Articles are Relevant?'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2755508166994928474</id><published>2007-07-16T14:37:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T15:21:13.121+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Innocence</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I wrote in a previous &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/making-each-others-dreams-come-true.html"&gt;piece&lt;/a&gt; about getting on a bus with kids going on a school trip. While we were waiting for the bus, a boy asked his teacher if he was into fighting. He said that he didn't fight because "violence only creates more violence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found it interesting that the teacher had used the word "violence" when the boy was only talking about fighting as in scraps that boys get into, which is all fun and games. During the journey I heard a boy describing a movie he'd watched to the same teacher and how people got killed. The teacher thought it was a violent film. The boy didn't seem to think so. As far as kids see it, they're only mock-fights, virtual reality that cannot harm anyone until you start to believe in violence and danger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just before the kids got off the bus, one teacher made an annoucement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Listen up kids, when we get off this bus it's important that we all stay together because we're going to be crossing a very dangerous road."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know the teacher meant well but surely "dangerous" is a bit OTT (over the top). Isn't it possible that the very thought of danger makes one fearful?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is that before people get conditioned into right or wrong, everything is innocent, LOVE. Things simply serve a purpose and not meant to injure one in any way until you get conditioned into believing in good and evil. Just recently I heard this woman telling her daughter, aged around six, to keep her sun glasses on because the sun was dangerous. By the time the girl gets to her twenties or thirties she might find that she has to wear sunglasses all the time. Skin experts tell us we need sunscreen to protect our skins from the UV rays. I believe that's only another belief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother was telling me how she saw someone on the bus coughing into his hands and then he got off and he held the railings. Mum said when she was getting off she held on to the same railing. She says that's why she always washes her hands when she gets home to remove all the germs, and she insists I do the same. I don't think about things like that otherwise I would never go out. I believe everything is innocent of motive; something is either good or bad if I think it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am innocence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/black-comedy.html"&gt;Black Comedy&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/making-everything-up.html"&gt;Making Everything Up&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/playfulness.html"&gt;Playfulness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-2755508166994928474?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2755508166994928474'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2755508166994928474'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/innocence.html' title='Innocence'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-7903737352827054188</id><published>2007-07-16T12:37:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T14:37:28.398+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Making Each Other's Dreams Come True</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I love witnessing how dreams come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I told mum I was meeting up with a male friend the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Lucky you," she said. "I wish I could meet a man."&lt;br /&gt;"There are lots of guys out there, don't you see them?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"I see them but why can't they see me?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum's comment made me chuckle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday evening when I went home mum told me about her journey into town. She said a man was chatting to her about his friend whom he said was in his fifties. Mum told him his friend was very young. She said she was in her sixties. The man couldn't believe it. He said mum had such wonderful skin. He even stroked my mother's arms, which he thought were very soft and silky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hmmm, what is it you were saying again about men not noticing you?" I said. "One man not even noticed you, he stroked your arm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was thinking about that actually," mum said. "It's a shame he wasn't the kind of man I wanted to notice me though."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's no pleasing some people. Hehehe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd been meaning to transfer some old telephone numbers and addresses into my new address book. After doing the deed, I found my new diary was too tiny to hold the floppy disk I carry with me just in case I need to save something. I thought it would be nice to have a little plastic bag I could put the disk in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just before I left home this morning my mother dropped something. She asked if I could pick it up for her. I couldn't believe it, it was exactly the kind of bag I had in mind to put my floppy disk in. I asked her if I could have it and she said yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the bus stop there were lots of school kids obviously on some outing. I wondered where they were off to. I also thought one of the teachers looked cute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(I can't help noticing when someone is cute!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When my bus turned up the kids piled on and we went upstairs. The teachers got the kids to sit together. I noticed the cute teacher was thinking about where to sit. I thought to myself, "please sit beside me," and he did. Sorted!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the journey, I heard one of the girls saying that she wanted to sit near a window. One teacher said if she was very lucky someone was going to get off soon and she could have her wish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime, I asked the cute teacher beside me where they were going and he said to a flower show in Chelsea. He said they were getting off at the nearest underground station and catching a tube from there. I heard the girl saying she wished had a window seat. I offered her my seat but she went all shy and she wouldn't accept it. Her teacher told her to stop acting shy and accept the seat, which she did. Her teacher said she was a very lucky girl for getting her wish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the bus went by the &lt;a href="http://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/"&gt;Geffrye Museum&lt;/a&gt; the cute teacher pointed it out to the kids. One boy said he's been in there and described seeing an ancient television dating back as far as 1982, which I thought was quite funny. I've often wondered what kind of museum it was. I asked the cute teacher and he told me it showed interiors from the 1600s to modern day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The passenger I was sitting next to got off and I ended up getting a window seat. The cute teacher told the girl beside him that I was very lucky to have a window seat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's wonderful how God, the all there is, makes our dreams come true as each of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/ask-and-you-will-receivesort-of.html"&gt;Ask and You Will Receive...Sort Of&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/love-letter.html"&gt;Love Letter&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/universal-dreamers.html"&gt;Universal Dreamers&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/oh-no-our-dream-has-come-true.html"&gt;Oh No, Our Dream Has Come True!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7903737352827054188?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7903737352827054188'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7903737352827054188'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/making-each-others-dreams-come-true.html' title='Making Each Other&apos;s Dreams Come True'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-4374352389105793580</id><published>2007-07-16T11:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T12:33:35.038+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Things That Make Me Go Hmmm</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;From time to time I have experiences that make me go hmmm. Here's one example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd been thinking of a friend I haven't seen in a while and wondered how he was. I couldn't believe it when I saw him in my local library. What was he doing in this part of London? On closer inspection I realised he wasn't my friend but his double. My friend is getting paranoid about losing his hair and this man's hair was also getting thinner around the same spot. Even their skin tone was similar. It was so uncanny. It's a shame we didn't speak; it would have been interesting to see whether he had an Irish accent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Years ago while I was temping in this company I stopped to chat to someone at the reception desk. I remember I was discussing something about spirituality, as per usual. I was aware that the other receptionist was staring at me. After a while she apologised. She said that the week before my "double" had been temping at the same company. She said she not only looked and sounded like me, she was interested in what I had been discussing. It's a shame my double left before we could meet face to face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a child I lived with my cousins. One cousin had a disability and walked with a limp. A few years ago I saw this woman who was the spitting image of my cousin. If I didn't know my cousin had died ten years before I would have thought it was her. The woman even walked with a limp though hers wasn't as pronounced as my cousin. One day my mother told me she had seen this woman who looked like my cousin. I knew she had to be the same woman. One day I got an opportunity to speak to her. I asked her name and she had the same name as my cousin, though she was from Nigeria while my cousin was from Sierra Leone. Hmmm!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw my mother's twin one day when I was on the bus. The woman had a walking stick and she looked so much like my mother I was going to bang on the window to attract her attention. Something told me she wasn't her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother tells me that one day while she was at the supermarket a woman came up to her and hugged her. She asked her where she'd been hiding. Mum told her she'd never met her before. The woman asked her if she was from Barbados and mum said no. The woman was so shocked and told shoppers that my mother was the spitting image of her friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mum also tells me she's seen my older brother's twin though he was younger and slimmer. A few weeks ago she saw a double of mine on the bus but she thought she looked younger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have we all got identity twins? If we have physical twins, maybe we have people who think and feel like us. Perhaps it's God's warped way of reminding us that whenever we think of ourselves as unique, we should think again. Nah, I'm unique me, unique I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who am I kidding? I have no answer so all I can say is "hmmm."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/why-am-i.html"&gt;Why am I?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2006/01/anomaly-or-reality.html"&gt;Anomaly or Reality&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4374352389105793580?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4374352389105793580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4374352389105793580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/things-that-make-me-go-hmmm.html' title='Things That Make Me Go Hmmm'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5194709084307970098</id><published>2007-07-16T11:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T11:24:18.459+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Save All Your Kisses for Me</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;At the bus stop I saw a toddler, possibly around two years old, drinking milk from her bottle. I motioned to her that I wanted some. She handed me the bottle. I smiled and mouthed "thank you" to her. When the baby dropped her bottle, her mother put it away and lifted her up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You've been a monster today, haven't you?" she said.&lt;br /&gt;"Well, we're in the right place for it," I chuckled indicating the &lt;a href="http://www.thedungeons.com/"&gt;The London Dungeon&lt;/a&gt; next to the bus stop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This museum is the ideal place to go to if you're into doom and gloom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, let's leave her in there with all those monsters," the baby's older sister said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The woman hugged her baby and said "Give mummy a kiss, you monster."&lt;br /&gt;"No," the girl said, "I want to kiss the lady," she pointed in my direction.&lt;br /&gt;"You want to kiss the lady?" her mother said.&lt;br /&gt;"Yes."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awww, how sweet. I held her hand and we played "handsie", the footsie equivalent, for a few moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's what I love about kids, they are so open to love everyone, even "strangers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/ride-of-your-life.html"&gt;The Ride of Your Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5194709084307970098?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5194709084307970098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5194709084307970098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/save-all-your-kisses-for-me.html' title='Save All Your Kisses for Me'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-4956632187026219479</id><published>2007-07-16T10:42:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-16T11:03:11.508+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Ride of Your Life</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the bus I was in two girls and two women got on and sat next to me. As the bus drove by the &lt;a href="http://www.londoneye.com/"&gt;London Eye&lt;/a&gt;, the Big Wheel that enables one to get a lovely view of London, the two girls sitting opposite me discussed its structure. One said it was too slow and wished it went faster. The other wondered why people didn't turn upside down when they were oming down. The woman sitting beside me, presumably one of the girls' mother said the wheel had been designed so it stays upright at all times. To illustrate her point she moved her locket just like the wheel. I couldn't help butting into their conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Did you design the wheel then?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, I did actually in my spare time," the lady said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That got all of us in stitches. All five of us laughed long and hard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few minutes later as they were getting off I said to the woman, "Good luck with your design."&lt;br /&gt;"I'll let you know when I design another Big Wheel," she said, which made us giggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's so much fun to be had with people, it's simply a matter of connecting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/reach-out-and-touch.html"&gt;Reach Out and Touch&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/play-mate.html"&gt;Play Mate&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4956632187026219479?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4956632187026219479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4956632187026219479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/ride-of-your-life.html' title='The Ride of Your Life'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-8312452560109558854</id><published>2007-07-15T13:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-15T13:57:04.473+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Immortality</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Years ago I went through bouts of depression because I believed I didn't have anyone to love me, and I couldn't see the point of going on. I also didn't have a clue what I was meant to be doing in life. I considered committing suicide on many occasions because I believed that would end my pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day I realised that the way to keep living is to give myself a purpose. Instead of seeking love why not give love? I figured that if I can give love to someone every day at least that would give me a reason to go on living.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My ambition is to love someone or something every single day. Given that there are around 6 billion people on earth right now, excluding animals and other species, this means I've got a long while yet before I start considering the suicide option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was an immortal all along and I never realised.

Not only has sales soared, the books are regarded as racist. I wasn't offended at all by these books; I just thought Herge was representing quite accurately the mentality some people had at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least this means more people are going to read Tintin and judge for themselves. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/loving-myself.html"&gt;Loving Myself&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/tintin-books-ive-now-read.html"&gt;Tintin Books I've Now Read&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/my-new-quest.html"&gt;My New Quest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**********************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;'Tintin in the Congo' sales soar in Britain after racism row&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AFP - Saturday, July 14 09:37 am&lt;br /&gt;LONDON (AFP) - Sales of a Tintin comic book have rocketed since the Commission for Racial Equality claimed it was racist, a newspaper reported Saturday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sales of "Tintin in the Congo" have shot up by 3,800 percent after the CRE watchdog claimed it contained potentially highly offensive material, said The Daily Telegraph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The comic has reached number eight on Internet retailer Amazon's most popular books list, the broadsheet reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A CRE spokesman accepted that its interjection could have sparked the rise in sales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is a delicate balance but because we had a complaint from a member of the public we felt we had no choice," he said, according to the newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Borders, a British chain of bookstores, said Wednesday it had yanked copies of "Tintin in the Congo" from its children's sections following the CRE saying that it "beggared belief" that they should sell the comic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This book contains imagery and words of hideous racial prejudice, where the 'savage natives' look like monkeys and talk like imbeciles," a CRE spokeswoman had said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How and why do Borders think that it's okay to peddle such racist material?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CRE said it was contacted by a Borders customer last month who saw the book on sale in London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tintin in the Congo", which first appeared in Belgian newspaper Le Vingtieme Siecle as a comic strip in 1930-1931, is part of the series "The Adventures of Tintin" by the Belgian author and illustrator Herge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But its tale of boy reporter Tintin's trip with his dog Snowy to what was then the Belgian Congo is seen as controversial by some because of its depiction of colonialism and racism, as well as casual violence towards animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Herge later said the book was merely a reflection of the naive views of the time. Some of the scenes were revised for later editions. &lt;a href="http://uk.news.yahoo.com/afp/20070714/ten-entertainment-britain-belgium-books-a56114e.html"&gt;Yahoo News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7856641121303386130?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7856641121303386130'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7856641121303386130'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/sharing-joy-regardless.html' title='Sharing the Joy, Regardless'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2157560557770732599</id><published>2007-07-14T13:06:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2008-12-30T16:10:11.938Z</updated><title type='text'>Beam Me Up, Scotty!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I have this friend who I have this deep connection with. I only have to think of him and wham, I can feel him with me. The other day I felt him stroking my cheek. I later read an email from him where he shared how he felt so close to me he was stroking my cheek. He's also described feeling my presence. I've felt his presence as a physical form with me lots of times. It's the most wonderful feeling to be with someone when you're meant to be physically apart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is going on here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that we're demonstrating how Love can break the time/space barrier that we believe is present. The moment I think of what I love, I'm one with it. Thus, oneness is always motivated by love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I used to do distance healing I would suggest a time for my patient to relax and receive the healing. There was one time when I didn't feel like working at the time we agreed because I wanted to do something else that was a lot more important - there was an episode of &lt;a href="http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/index.html"&gt;StarTrek&lt;/a&gt; I NEEDED to watch. Alas, I had promised to do the healing. So I told my patient to expect the healing at the agreed time. In the meantime, I did the healing in advance, put out an intent for my patient to receive it at the time she was expecting the healing. When the time came for her to receive, I was busy watching StarTrek. I love it when a plan comes together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it was the first time I had practised distance healing with this patient, I called her the next day for feedback. She described feeling very relaxed at the time and feeling various sensations. I obviously didn't tell her that I was otherwise occupied with aliens at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This raises an issue about group intent. There is a foundation I support called &lt;a href="http://www.thelovefoundation.com/"&gt;The Love Foundation&lt;/a&gt; where they celebrate Global Love Day on the 1st May each year. The first time it occurred I remembered to be in thought with them on the day. Over the last two year's I've put out the intent to join with them on the day. This way, even if I don't remember on the day to connect, at least I know I'm already one with their intention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who says teleportation only happens in &lt;a href="http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/index.html"&gt;StarTrek&lt;/a&gt;? Just love something or someone and you're instantly with the object of your affection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beam me up, &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_me_up,_Scotty"&gt;Scotty&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/staying-joined-in-love.html"&gt;Staying Joined in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/11/when-two-or-three-are-gathered.html"&gt;When Two or Three are Gathered&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/trust-in-love-to-sort-out-details.html"&gt;Trust in Love to Sort out the Details&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/teleportation.html"&gt;Teleportation&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-2157560557770732599?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2157560557770732599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2157560557770732599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/beam-me-up-scotty.html' title='Beam Me Up, Scotty!'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-8984685846867849877</id><published>2007-07-14T12:11:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-15T13:42:32.998+01:00</updated><title type='text'>My Function and the Universe are One</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I have a function - to be the Love/Light that I am. In this dream called earth I have a dream body that appears as a particular form. The trick is not to try and manipulate the body to become love but to simply know that my function and body arise as one. Therefore, my body's purpose is to radiate and express love and light as long as my function continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your body is not expressing its true function it is expressing a dream function. Let's say you've dreamed up yourself a function as a boxer. You train your body to be a certain weight. When you're fit enough you get yourself involved in many bouts. Your body is now a fighting machine. As long as you're dreaming your function is a fighting machine, your body will always find something to fight against. If it's not fighting against another boxer it will fight against itself. &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;A dear friend recently wrote me:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"You're like a Lighthouse, revolving at a million cycles per second, sending out unlimited love in every direction to every being in the universe."&lt;/blockquote&gt;I do believe that everyone as their real selves are like a lighthouse sending out unlimited love. This is what it means when one's function and body are one and serving the same purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also believe that my function and the universe are also one. This means that the purpose of the universe is to express the Light that I am being. Thus, the universe that I am experiencing is not a form but unfolding of one's consciousness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So instead of running around wondering what I'm meant to be doing all I have to remember is the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A. My function and my body are one.&lt;br /&gt;B. My function and the universe are one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I simply express the Love and Light that I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/order.html"&gt;Order&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/spirit-is-all-there-is.html"&gt;Spirit is All There Is&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/me-mine-my-myself-and-i-are-one.html"&gt;Me, Mine, My, Myself and I are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-8984685846867849877?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/8984685846867849877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/8984685846867849877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/my-function-and-universe-are-one.html' title='My Function and the Universe are One'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2129932530662982909</id><published>2007-07-13T15:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T16:05:07.732+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Order</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the one hand, God/Love/the Universe/the All There Is is unconditioned, meaning that the Universe is not under any laws. All things are possible. On the other hand, the Universe unfolds in perfect order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is it possible for the Universe to be under no laws and yet unfolding in order?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was travelling on the bus this morning I observed the different kinds of outfits people had on. In one area there are lots of &lt;a href="http://www.n16mag.com/issue16/p8i16.htm"&gt;Hasidic Jews&lt;/a&gt;; the men wear long black coats, black trousers and black hats. As the bus moved along I saw many people of different nationalities; one woman had on an African costume, some people had suits, some dressed casual. What struck me was that no matter what people had on, they'd done so under order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're wearing jeans and a top and jacket like I have on now, you wouldn't put on your underwear over your jeans, unless you're a fashion designer making a statement on the catwalk. Being a conventional girl, I usually start off with my underwear, then my top and trousers and then my jacket. I also tend to wear my socks first before putting on some shoes or boots. Even if you're a follower of fashion, you still put on your outfit in a particular order. For instance it is now fashionable for women to wear tights with leggings. I never saw anyone with tights over their shoes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The different outfits that people have on represents the unconditioned nature of the universe where all realities are possible; while the way people wear their clothes represents the order of the Universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even buses are operated in order. If the bus driver pushed the accelerator pedal without first turning on the ignition, the bus is going nowhere. There is even an order in which passengers got on the bus. Well, the Brits are very much into queuing. There is an unwritten rule that most people follow about waiting for buses. You stand behind the queue. When the bus arrives people tend to be very polite and let other people on before them, at least that has been my experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"After you," a passenger might say.&lt;br /&gt;"No, after you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While the bus driver is probably thinking "I wish someone would just bloody get on the bus!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not everyone follows the queuing system, however. There are some areas in London where it's every man for himself, men and children trampled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I digress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So there is a system of getting on the bus. You beckon the bus driver to stop, you either get on board in an orderly fashion or scramble on, you show your ticket or rest your Oyster Card on the machine, and the driver takes off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to getting off, passengers do so in an orderly manner. You make your intentions clear that you need to get off at the next stop by pressing the bell. The driver stops at the next stop and you get off. It can be hilarious when several people getting off at the same stop are ringing the bell at the same time. Bus drivers must be infinitely patient. Sometimes all hell breaks lose when people forget to press the bell and blame the driver for not stopping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The traffic flows under order and most people follow the traffic codes. The roads in the UK are pretty quiet. The only time drivers honk is when they want to alert someone or prevent an accident. Generally, the only sounds I hear are emergency vehicles and road workers drilling into the roads. If there were no traffic lights, it would be chaotic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my bus I did notice two cars on the side of the road. It looked like there had been a minor accident and both were exchanging details. At least they looked calm about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even when we communicate we do so in order. There are many ways I can write this piece but the words have to appear in order, at least in an order that loosely conforms to the English grammar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At one level, everyone is under order. It doesn't matter whether you're living in a region that appears to be in chaos, as long as you're experiencing life you're practising order. However, this kind of order is relative and dependent on the individual(s) intentions. There is another kind of order which I see is Absolute - Order. When you're one with Order, you're in the flow of all events. Everything you do unfolds in perfect order of everyone concerned. For example, if I was going to meet someone and I was running late, chances are the other person will also be running late. Why? Because our intention is one and unfolding in perfect order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is the Absolute Order that works through me and manifests as my life experiences, my body, health and harmony in all my affairs and enables me to meet the right people at the right time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So instead of experiencing relative order I choose to join with Absolute Order.

Well to me he seemed very tall about 6 foot 5 inches. I was going to make a comment but he walked the other way. I wondered what it would be like to be that tall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later I watched a documentary on television called &lt;a href="http://primetime.unrealitytv.co.uk/supersize-kids-britains-tallest-teens-on-itv/"&gt;Supersize Kids: Britain’s Tallest Teens&lt;/a&gt;. The young men featured were Chris, 7 foot 3 inches and Paul, 7 foot 7 inches respectively; and both are still growing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was Tara who almost 13 years old and already 6 foot 1 inch tall. She was very concerned about her growth rate.  Tara was taken to see a specialist who assured her that she would only grow another couple of inches.  Tara was very happy after that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris was unemployed and depressed about the fact that he couldn't follow his dream of being a mechanic because of his height. He was soon given a makeover. The new confident Chris was sent to a modelling agency where he secured himself a modelling contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Paul ended up going to live in America where he was offered the opportunity to play basketball, provided he passed his exams first, which he sailed through. Paul is now set to play professional basketball and earn millions of Dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it was quite interesting how both young men felt as if they didn't belong. When they found their niche, they fitted in like a glove.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For ages I couldn't fit into society. I didn't know what I was meant to do in life. I felt like a fish out of water. It was only when I focused on being true to myself and expressing this in writing, that I start feeling at home. Then I found myself attracting like-minded friends and my life started to make sense. I could now understand why I had been "born" into the family I was. I could now see that when things weren't working out as quickly as I had expected, the delay was due to the fact that I was meant to link up with like-minds. While I know there are still pieces to fit into the jigsaw puzzle, at least I know I have finally found my niche in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all have a place that's right for us. I believe when you do what you love, when you are being true to yourself, you have found your niche in life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/love-will-come-to-you.html"&gt;Love Will Come to You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/delays-are-in-perfect-order.html"&gt;Delays are in Perfect Order&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/being-vector8.html"&gt;Being Vector8&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/practical-spirituality.html"&gt;Practical Spirituality&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/point-of-no-return.html"&gt;The Point of No Return&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/do-what-you-love-and-love-what-you-do.html"&gt;Do What You Love and Love What You Do&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/coming-home.html"&gt;Coming Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-9204217465566058503?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/9204217465566058503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/9204217465566058503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/discovering-ones-niche-in-life.html' title='Discovering One&apos;s Niche in Life'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-701975098764419075</id><published>2007-07-13T12:50:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-13T14:13:06.182+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Spirit is All There Is</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've written &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/diets.html"&gt;elsewhere&lt;/a&gt; how important it is for me to be on a diet - Truth diet. This is when I constantly remind myself of my identity as Love. Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's say I'm feeling aches and pains. I only need to think about Love as the only reality and I feel the pain dissolving. Why is that? Because I am acknowledging that there is no such reality as matter; the universe is spirit and Love. Love doesn't follow the physical laws as we've been led to believe, Love recognises no rules of time or space or structures. Love is unconditioned spirit. Another way to put it, when my focus is on love, it's as if my body's "molecular structure" is transformed and I stop feeling myself as solid, I feel like empty space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another way to focus on Love is to simply love. When I am loving a special friend, sharing what I love, being love, my body is also being love, which is not under the law of cause/effect. This is when instantaneous healings take place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My purpose is to demonstrate that life is not physical or material but is spiritual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Spirit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-one-is-loving-all.html"&gt;Loving One is Loving the All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/diets.html"&gt;Diets&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/problem-is-there-arent-any-problems.html"&gt;The Problem is There Aren't Any Problems&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/awakening_15.html"&gt;Awakening&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/king-of-love.html"&gt;The King of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/love-is-all-there-is.html"&gt;Love is All There Is&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/05/no-other-law-but-god.html"&gt;No Other Law But God&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-it-means-to-live-in-spiritual.html"&gt;What It Means to Live in a Spiritual Universe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-701975098764419075?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/701975098764419075'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/701975098764419075'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/spirit-is-all-there-is.html' title='Spirit is All There Is'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-7393425209526587411</id><published>2007-07-12T13:01:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-12T13:50:34.590+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Peace is Who I Am</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;In last night's episode of "Sex and the City" called &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/city/episode/season6/episode85.shtml"&gt;The Domino Effect&lt;/a&gt;, Charlotte, who has been desperate to get pregnant, hears about a doctor who has helped women to conceive. Charlotte books an appointment to have acupuncture with the doctor. After the doctor has stuck pins in her, he leaves her alone to relax. At one point Charlotte can hear noise outside and comes out of the room. She tells the doctor that she can't relax with the noise outside. The doctor tells her that the noise will never go away, it is up to her to silence the noise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days later, Charlotte meets the pregnant friend who had recommended the doctor who yaps on about her pregnancy. Charlotte realises that the acupuncture treatment is working because she's able to tune the woman's voice out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace is already present. Instead of expecting people or circumstances to conform to my idea of peace, I simply connect with and be the peace that is already within me and without be made manifest as me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find I can now even sleep with someone snoring beside me and not be affected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live and have my being in Peace.&lt;br /&gt;I am Peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-not-bothered.html"&gt;I'm Not Bothered!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/peace-in-all-ways.html"&gt;Peace in All Ways&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/peace-be-with-you.html"&gt;Peace Be With You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/12/practising-transparency-dissolving.html"&gt;Practising Transparency - Dissolving Programmes&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/give-peace-chance.html"&gt;Give Peace a Chance&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/03/peace-is.html"&gt;Peace Is&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/id-rather-be-myself-than-convert-others.html"&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7393425209526587411?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7393425209526587411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7393425209526587411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/peace-is-who-i-am.html' title='Peace is Who I Am'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5706858301840807982</id><published>2007-07-11T15:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-11T15:52:39.410+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Staying True to Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;One of my favourite films is &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/"&gt;Forrest Gump&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forrest Gump is a young country boy with a physical disability and who doesn't fit the mould. Society regards him as stupid. Apart from his mother, the only two people who accept him as he is are his beloved Jenny, whom he met on a school bus; and his friend Bubba, whom he met in the Army.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over the years, Forrest is healed of his disability, becomes a footballer, joins the army, becomes a table tennis champion and a successful business man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Forrest and Jenny have different ideas about life, it takes them ages to get together. From time to time, they meet up as friends and then their various interests pull them apart. Although Forrest doesn't agree with Jenny's choices, he accepts her and loves her anyway. Forrest and Jenny do eventually get married, though Jenny dies leaving Forrest to take care of their son, little Forrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Forrest Gump demonstrates how to live in the moment and how to stay true to Self/Love no matter what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am true to Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-one-is-loving-all.html"&gt;Loving One is Loving the All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/devotion.html"&gt;Devotion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/sleeping-partners.html"&gt;Sleeping Partners&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5706858301840807982?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5706858301840807982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5706858301840807982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/staying-true-to-love.html' title='Staying True to Love'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2023576893318377877</id><published>2007-07-11T14:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-11T14:34:26.878+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The Implant</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I believe each of us has an implant within us that is meant to guide us.

We'd better watch out in the UK as our future lies thousands of miles at the bottom of the sea.

The earth is full of the glory of Love as the waters cover the sea.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Followers of various scriptures are also right about the end times because where Love is in all time and space there is no more time; there is only Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since there is only Love then, as Isaiah predicts, animals and humans are experiencing the oneness of love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;Heaven is now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/putting-love-first.html"&gt;Putting Love First&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/season-of-light.html"&gt;Light Season&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/time-and-timelessness.html"&gt;Time and Timelessness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/11/future-is-joy.html"&gt;The Future is Joy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See also &lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=466742&amp;amp;in_page_id=1770"&gt;Rottweiler pup whose mum's a moggy&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-1980269005998057438?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/1980269005998057438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/1980269005998057438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/global-warming-and-end-times.html' title='Global Warming and End Times'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5167899244977453938</id><published>2007-07-09T12:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-09T12:30:00.086+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Eye See Your Point</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the bus the computerised guide announces that the next stop will be &lt;a href="http://www.moorfields.nhs.uk/Home"&gt;Moorfields Eye Hospital&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Where exactly is the hospital?" a man sitting in front of me asks his wife.

During the journey, she chatted to some passengers and pointed out the tourist attractions. She said it was the first time she was visiting London this year. She believed the route we were on was excellent for exploring the heart of London.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While we were getting off I asked her if she'd had fun. She said yes. She said that in South Africa, where she's from, they don't have buses like these. She said we were so lucky in London to have these facilities and can travel in safety. I asked her what South Africa was like. She said the rich were getting richer and the poor, poorer. While we were chatting, I had this overwhelming urge to hug her so I did and she returned my hug. She was so touched. She said that people around her age (in her sixties) miss being touched and it was so sweet of me to hug her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend told me that she has a house in the UK where she lives for 6 months and then back to South Africa for the rest of the year. I told her she was so blessed and deserved to be happy. She asked me what I did and I said I was a writer. She said her daughter used to be a script-writer and had connections with the writers and star of the American comedy, &lt;a href="http://www.hbo.com/city/"&gt;Sex and the City&lt;/a&gt;. I happen to be a huge fan of "Sex and the City." My friend said her daughter was now a mother and married to a billionaire. Her daughter bought her current house in England which is worth over a £1 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes I gave her another hug and said goodbye. She told me I was very special.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaven is now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/heaven-is-living-from-inside-out.html"&gt;Heaven is Living from the Inside Out&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/11/heaven-is-now.html"&gt;Heaven is Now&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-6504101786875549183?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6504101786875549183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6504101786875549183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/reach-out-and-touch.html' title='Reach Out and Touch'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-3607985319480865205</id><published>2007-07-08T14:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-27T15:33:20.525+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Play Mate</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;As I was queuing up to use the ladies' toilet a woman and her young son and daughter came out of one cubicle.

There were designated spots in the park for those who preferred to watch the race on the big screen; and those who wanted to see the race live could grab a spot along the route. I walked round the route and stopped now and again to enjoy the race. Then I headed to The Mall to watch the cyclists finishing their race.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because the cyclists all had different starting times, it didn't feel like a race. Each cyclist was really trying to arrive at the finishing point as fast as he could. Every few minutes a cyclist would race by at such a speed that if you blink you'll miss him. Every time a cyclist came into view, the spectators would applaud. On the odd occasion when the spectators got wind that the cyclist was British, there would be this loud cheer and frenzy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, each cyclist represents each of us o&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;n our own personal quests. We are all unique in the way we explore who we are being. Some of us sail through while others learn the hard way. The spectators represent the Universe that supports every single individual on their journey. This means it doesn't matter what approach we use, we are all supported on our journey regardless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was so grateful to be given this opportunity to witness the &lt;a href="http://www.tourdefrancelondon.com/en/"&gt;Tour de France&lt;/a&gt; spectacle and the wonderful spirit of camaraderie between the British and the French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rule Britannia!&lt;br /&gt;Vivre La France!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing all the cyclists the very best in France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/loving-tour-de-france.html"&gt;Loving the Tour de France&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/support.html"&gt;Support&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/08/trusting-in-your-path.html"&gt;Trusting in Your Path&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5492660002945911865?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5492660002945911865'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5492660002945911865'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/camaraderie.html' title='Camaraderie'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5749619414908770135</id><published>2007-07-08T12:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-08T14:18:48.226+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Ask and You Will Receive...Sort Of</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;On the bus home I spotted this cute guy who was sitting in a seat perpendicular to mine. I thought he had an interesting profile. He was so focused on playing with his mobile phone, I don't think he even noticed me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes I heard a man asking a passenger if we'd arrived at Blackhorse Road tube (underground) station yet. She didn't know. He asked me and I said it was another five minutes away. I told him he would know when he arrived. I'm not sure whether the guy couldn't understand me or not because he and his partner got off at the next stop. While he was getting off, I called out to tell him we hadn't yet arrived, but he ignored me and got off any way. Charming!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cute guy frowned, looked up from his mobile and he said to me "Never mind, at least you did your best to help him."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yeah, but it looks like my best wasn't good enough." We had a good laugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"'We're not there yet and you'll know when you get there,' doesn't mean get off the bus at the next stop, does it?" the cute guy said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was very clear, maybe he didn't understand me," I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Look at them," the cute guy pointed to the couple standing outside at the bus stop, "they are now checking to see where they are. If only they'd listen to you they wouldn't be wandering outside looking lost."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Awww, I'm sure they'll find their way back to Blackhorse Road, eventually."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I told my new friend that I'd just come from seeing the &lt;a href="http://www.tourdefrancelondon.com/en/"&gt;Tour de France&lt;/a&gt;, which had its prologue in London for the first time this year. After chatting to him for a few minutes it was time for me to get off. I said goodbye to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I walked home I thought about how I had tried to help him the man on the bus but he had done his own thing anyway. How many times do people ask for help, receive it, and reject it because they either don't trust in the answer or they expect it to appear in a predetermined way? Just as well the Love that I believe in never stops responding to our requests. Love will keep sending answers until you finally get it. I had no doubt that my friends would arrive at the station; Love was going to send someone else to answer their call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least I got to chat to the cute guy on the bus, which has to be a good thing. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/loving-tour-de-france.html"&gt;Loving the Tour de France&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/going-whole-hog.html"&gt;Going the Whole Hog&lt;/a&gt;;  &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/compassion.html"&gt;Compassion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/trust.html"&gt;Trust&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-to-avoid-blocks.html"&gt;How To Avoid Blocks&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5749619414908770135?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5749619414908770135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5749619414908770135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/ask-and-you-will-receivesort-of.html' title='Ask and You Will Receive...Sort Of'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-4365179917540715297</id><published>2007-07-07T13:48:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-06-12T22:25:32.646+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Putting Love First</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;save room for my love&lt;br /&gt;save room for a moment to be with me&lt;br /&gt;save room for my love save a little&lt;br /&gt;save a little for me&lt;br /&gt;won't you save a little&lt;br /&gt;save a little for me - ohh &lt;a href="http://www.metrolyrics.com/lyrics/970134637/John_Legend/Save_Room"&gt;Save Room, lyrics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In John Legend's &lt;a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x10q4n_john-legend-save-room_music"&gt;Save Room&lt;/a&gt; video, you see a man waking up with various girlfriends and asking them to stay longer with him but they are all too busy to stay, which leaves him frustrated. The final sequence sees him returning home and finding one girlfriend who has chosen to spend time with him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, John Legend's character represents Divine Love who is always calling us to realise His presence, while the women represent the need that people have to rush and focus on stuff, that seems more important than Love. Who has time to be in stillness, when I have such a busy lifestyle? Who has time to be with Love when I need to wake up, cook breakfast, commute, go to work, take the kids to school, go shopping, clean the house, cook dinner, do the chores, study etc? I'm way too busy to be still.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love doesn't say we shouldn't experience life but Love says focus on Me first and you'll know what it means to have life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put Love first and Love will take care of all the details.&lt;br /&gt;Put Love first and you'll find that your day runs smoothly and harmoniously.&lt;br /&gt;Put Love first and you'll be able to see what is real and meaningful.&lt;br /&gt;Put Love first and you'll realise what your true purpose is.&lt;br /&gt;Put Love first and you'll know what it means to live Heaven on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's why the first thing I think about is Love. I remember that Love is my being. Love is all I think about during the day and Love is the last thing on my mind before I fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no room for anything in my life but Love. I am so grateful that Love permeates all that I am being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is my first, my last and my everything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-true-desire.html"&gt;The One True Desire&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/to-my-beloved.html"&gt;To My Beloved&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-god-what-is-your-will-for-me.html"&gt;Dear God, What is Your Will For Me?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4365179917540715297?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4365179917540715297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4365179917540715297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/putting-love-first.html' title='Putting Love First'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-2605095214547700010</id><published>2007-07-07T12:24:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-08T15:03:24.152+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Loving the Tour de France</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Yesterday evening I went to &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trafalgar_Square"&gt;Trafalgar Square&lt;/a&gt; for the celebration of the start of this year's &lt;a href="http://www.tourdefrancelondon.com/en/"&gt;Tour de France&lt;/a&gt; which, for the first time, starts in London this weekend. By the time I arrived, the square was full to the brim and they weren't letting people in. A few people sitting on the walls round the square left so I stood near so I could see inside. I couldn't see the stage but I could hear the speakers on the mic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would imagine majority of the audience were either cycling enthusiasts or there to see the cyclists. Whatever reason people were there, I felt a lot of love in the audience. It just shows that one doesn't need to follow a religion or spiritual discipline to express love; love is whatever you enjoy doing/being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stayed for about half an hour soaking in the atmosphere then I left.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be popping to Hyde Park later to see the cyclists in action.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;J'aime tous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-what-i-love.html"&gt;Loving What I Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/peace-be-with-you.html"&gt;Peace Be With You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/love-takes-all-forms.html"&gt;Love Takes All Forms&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-2605095214547700010?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2605095214547700010'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2605095214547700010'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/loving-tour-de-france.html' title='Loving the Tour de France'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-49640489636937400</id><published>2007-07-06T15:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-07T12:24:55.311+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Love Letter</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=148447&amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=eye+hath+not+seen"&gt;1 Corinthians 2: 9&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I was telling my mother yesterday about the love letters a friend and I exchanged.

It wasn't content to simply sit still and keep me company, it had to keep buzzing and flying all around me - my hand, my face, my head. In thought I asked it to go away but it was having none of it. So I loved it. The fly soon vanished.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the evening I was browsing at a bookshop and eating a sandwich (proper food for a change). Another fly appeared and sat on the book and wouldn't sit still. I sent it love and it too disappeared.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning in the bathroom I spotted this huge spider on the floor coming towards me. I asked it to go away but it kept coming. I guess the spider may not have been aware it was approaching me, it was simply doing its own thing. From the tip of my finger I sent it love. The spider froze. Blimey, I hope I haven't loved it to death! I touched it. It wriggled and stayed still. Phew, at least it's still alive! Then I turned away to brush my teeth. When I looked back the spider was gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's the matter insects, is my love too powerful for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/no-judgment.html"&gt;No Judgment&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5338296902750589816?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5338296902750589816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5338296902750589816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/insect-repellant.html' title='Insect Repellant'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-9154985274626085172</id><published>2007-07-06T10:10:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:08:30.905Z</updated><title type='text'>Being in Love - A Reminder</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;A while ago I wrote about what being in love means for me. I said I feel all kinds of love including feeling love for no particular reason which I beam out into the universe. I wrote:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"While I enjoy loving and receiving love in multifarious ways, I also love being in love, as in having an intimate relationship. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps. Wherever you are, whoever you are, I love you." &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/being-in-love.html"&gt;Being in Love&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;If my beloved heard my call he took a while to arrive. I recently met someone who I feel very much in love with but it's not a love I've ever experienced before. The closest I've felt is when I've been merged in with the Inner Light and feeling that love that I just wanted to be with forever. I never imagined it was possible to feel that way with another "human." Now I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being in love has opened up a whole can of worms. I find myself getting emotional and hypersensitive. This is when I have to continuously remind myself what being in love truly means to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=1711966&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=live+and+move"&gt;Acts 17: 28&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;I believe the "him" referred to is Infinite Love, God, the true Self. I live and have my being in Love. Love is the body of Light that is everywhere present that I move in. It is rather like experiencing the world from the comforts of my car (if I had one). The car is me and its interior matches my own personal tastes i.e. right temperature, music I like, comfortable seats, and meets all my needs. This is my Love cocoon. This car is a lot larger, however, than normal cars; it is vast beyond measure. In fact I experience the entire universe within this car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From this space of Love I can love my beloved with the knowledge that my love can never be depleted. From this space of Love I know I am loved whether I'm in a relationship or not. From this space of Love, I know I am love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can also experience the world from this space of Love without being influenced by the beliefs that are around me. This means I am walking Love, literally .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I live and have my being in Love.&lt;br /&gt;Nothing can separate me from the Love that I am.&lt;br /&gt;I love sharing the Love that I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/devotion.html"&gt;Devotion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/love-in-love-out.html"&gt;Love In, Love Out&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/charity-begins-and-ends-at-home.html"&gt;Charity Begins and Ends at Home&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/walking-by-faith-and-not-by-sight.html"&gt;Walking by Faith and Not by Sight&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/being-in-love.html"&gt;Being in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/08/living-in-love-cocoon.html"&gt;Living in a Love Cocoon&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/nothing-can-separate-us-from-one.html"&gt;Nothing Can Separate Us From the One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/04/i-am-a-star-ship-from-deep-space/"&gt;I am a Star Ship from Deep Space&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-9154985274626085172?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/9154985274626085172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/9154985274626085172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/being-in-love-reminder.html' title='Being in Love - A Reminder'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-3626758411683415991</id><published>2007-07-05T13:41:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-24T11:29:24.238Z</updated><title type='text'>Simplicity</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I recently shared one of my blog sites with a man that lives in our neighbourhood. He said he would let me know what he thinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday evening as I was walking home, I saw him and we walked home together. He told me he loved my writings. He said they are very simple but they work. I told him I've done complicated stuff and it's not who I am. He said a complicated style wouldn't work with the ideas I'm expressing in my blogs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A while back I received the following comment from a friend who came across my blogs:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I can't even imagine your age: sometimes I feel that you are a young girl with enormous wisdom, and sometimes I just cannot guess.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Writing for me is not an intellectual exercise, but a way to express who I am being, and wisdom is who I am. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also like to write stories I would like to read, that's why I like short punchy pieces. I love that I can look at something or someone at any given time and have a knowing about what that means to me at that moment in time. I love being able to share these insights with others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, simplicity is about having an uncluttered consciousness. I have no interest in collecting knowledge for the sake of having knowledge. I am not into collecting stuff for the sake of having stuff. Thanks to the Internet, I can always look up anything I want to know. In any case I already have the answers within me anyway that always attracts to me what I need from the outer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So yes, I do write in a simple way that anyone would understand. Most importantly, I write in this style because my nature is simplicity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/travelling-light.html"&gt;Travelling Light&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/06/wonder-versus-wondering.html"&gt;Wonder versus Wondering&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-3626758411683415991?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/3626758411683415991'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/3626758411683415991'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/simplicity.html' title='Simplicity'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5704787937234799635</id><published>2007-07-05T13:13:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-05T14:22:08.484+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Surprise!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Love is so full of wonderful surprises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I decided that instead of getting my new bus pass which had run out, I would walk the 3 miles or so to the local library and walk back. I find walking gives me an opportunity to ponder on life and the universe, again. It's also wonderful to feel the entire universe taking the walk with me. When I arrived at the library it was as if nothing had happened. I was as fresh as a daisy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later I decided to walk home via the scenic route, through the town centre and just wandered around. At one point I had a thought that Love is attracting people and experiences who resonate with my love. I also had a knowing that this was going to include being reunited with a few old friends I haven't seen in a while.  A few moments later at the local tube station I saw this woman walking towards me. I couldn't believe it - she was an old friend whom I haven't seen in years. It was so good to see her again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked her what she was doing in this part of London because the last time I spoke to her, three years ago, she was married. She said she was now divorced. She was living with her sister just up the road and was moving to her new place the very next day. It turned out her new place is only up the road from the library I frequently use. I gave her my email address and she promised to get in contact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as well I followed my instinct to walk instead of catching the bus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What other wonderful surprises do YOU have in store for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/reunion.html"&gt;Reunion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/05/ever-new-joy.html"&gt;Ever New Joy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5704787937234799635?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5704787937234799635'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5704787937234799635'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/surprise.html' title='Surprise!'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-555128235534945671</id><published>2007-07-05T10:20:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:09:38.261Z</updated><title type='text'>Calling Someone's Bluff</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;call someone's bluff, to expose a person's deception; challenge someone to carry out a threat: He always said he would quit, so we finally called his bluff. &lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/bluff"&gt;Dictionary.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In last night's episode of the legal drama, &lt;a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/bostonlegal/recap/season3/22.html"&gt;Boston Legal&lt;/a&gt;, Alan Shore "sues the United States on behalf of a client who was tortured for two years at a detention camp." Alan Shore ended up winning by the old "calling someone's bluff" routine where he pretends the defence's argument is so convincing, he asks the judge to dismiss his client's case. When the defence attorney accuses Alan of not taking the case seriously, he goes for the kill and ridicules the defence’s argument. The judge has no choice but to rule in his client's favour. (Please see the transcript of the closing argument below).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So later at night while I was asleep I woke up to a cramp in my right foot. I got up, massaged it and moved around but it only got worse. I loved the foot then the pain eased off only for the foot to seize up. Why do I keep getting these cramps? I realised Love's presence in my foot but it wasn't having any of it. Then I remembered Alan Shore's strategy in &lt;a href="http://abc.go.com/primetime/bostonlegal/recap/season3/22.html"&gt;Boston Legal&lt;/a&gt;. Of course, Love is the cause of this pain I'm going through. Love/God wants me to suffer. Why else would I be having this pain? The moment I had the thought the pain left the foot. Git!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I was doing was calling the pain's bluff. I know that Love doesn't hurt and doesn't want me to suffer pain. I know that Love is the only cause behind the universe. There is no other cause. So if the pain is here to remind me that there is another power or cause other than Love it can think again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe there is no physical, emotional or mental cause. Love is the only cause. Love is the only dreamer. Therefore, instead of trying to work things out or wondering about whether I am making the right decisions, I would rather ask myself the following questions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Love inspiring me in every way?&lt;br /&gt;Is Love moving me?&lt;br /&gt;Is Love speaking as me?&lt;br /&gt;Is Love being me?&lt;br /&gt;Is Love attracting this experience?&lt;br /&gt;Is Love loving as me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I trust in Love. What is of Love remains mine to keep forever. What is not of love dissolves into the nothing that it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love is the only power.&lt;br /&gt;Love is the only life.&lt;br /&gt;Love is the only cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/love-is-lucid-dreamer.html"&gt;Love is the Lucid Dreamer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/problem-is-there-arent-any-problems.html"&gt;The Problem is There Aren't Any Problems&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/revisiting-causeless-cause.html"&gt;The Causeless Cause&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/08/bonfire-of-love.html"&gt;Bonfire of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/10/is-there-devil.html"&gt;Is There a Devil?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/09/its-either-love-or-bullshit.html"&gt;It's Either Love or Bullshit!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boston Legal Closing Arguments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In Judge Marianna Folger’s courtroom, US Attorney Mark&lt;br /&gt;Freestone makes his closing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US Attorney Mark Freestone:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody knows how to fight this war. It’s like no other we’ve ever encountered. The one thing that we do know is that we have to be extremely proactive with our intelligence. It’s the only way that we can prevent another attack such as nine eleven. That’s why Guantanamo exists. And it works. We’ve learned how Bin-Laden has evaded capture. Now we didn’t get this stuff by saying, “Pretty please.” Torture sometimes has to be used when you’re talking about saving the lives of the masses. Both civilians at home and soldiers abroad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, do innocent people sometimes get captured? Yes. Mr. Kallah was evidently one. It was difficult to determine that initially because he refused to cooperate, but once it was so determined, he was let go. The question here is whether the government should be forced to stand trial every time it makes a mistake. As Colonel Hegarty stated, that would burden the war effort beyond measure. Not just financially. But militarily. The discovery process alone would unearth information that would aid the enemy. Come on! A little common sense here! We’re in a war for God’s sake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Shore:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Honor, I believe a lawyer should put his country before his client, and for that reason I’m gonna take the unusual step of asking you to dismiss my client’s lawsuit. He sits down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US Attorney Mark Freestone: He scoffs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Objection. It’s a trick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Shore:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s not a trick. Even though you argue and I would agree [He stands] that nobody knows how to fight this war. We should nevertheless defer to the Executive Branch who have indeed demonstrated a particular expertise. I, for one, just can’t wait to see what they do next. He sits down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Gloria Weldon:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Shore! I told you I would not allow this case to become a political football.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Shore: [standing]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I give you my word, your Honor, not a single toss of the pigskin. And, by the way, if one were to condemn Guantanamo, which I would never, it certainly wouldn’t be an indictment of just the administration but of the entire Congress, Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama included. Congress’s silence can only be attributed to consent, acquiescence, or disinterest, take your pick. But it’s at least safe to say they don’t much care. I should mention Joe Biden because he wants people to know he’s running too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judge Marianna Folger:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell me why you care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Shore:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don’t. I say, “Dismiss.” My client cares, but come on, he’s a whiner. So he got beat up a little. Duct taped. Sexually violated. He never should have been over there offering humanitarian aid in the first place. And then what? He expects to be heard? Get a trial? A lawyer? He wants the government to show evidence. He turns to Benyam and yells. We’re in a war! We need to make sacrifices! He turns to the Judge, shakes his head and makes a “get a load of this guy” gesture at Benyam. And we should start with the little things. Like human rights. I agree that the Executive Branch has a particular expertise. In fact, I think they’ve been brilliant. Calling the prisoners enemy combatants instead of prisoners so we can end run the Geneva Convention, and torture them? Brilliant! Basing the camp in Cuba so the Constitution won’t really get in our way? Brilliant! And under the Pentagon’s new draft guideline, this is my favorite, I’m sure it will be yours, we’ll have little tribunals in Guantanamo that allow suspects to be jailed for life. Or even executed on evidence that would never be admissible in civilian or military court. Imagine being able to execute somebody on triple hearsay, or on totally coersed confession. Brilliant! He sits down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;US Attorney Mark Freestone:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I object. Counsel doesn’t wanna take this seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Shore:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why should I? Who does? The American public? The media? Who might give it mention if only there weren’t so many starving actresses with drug problems to focus on. Congress? Why should any of us take it seriously? We’re torturing people. We’re holding them indefinitely. Many with no evidence. Giving them no trials. No lawyers. It’s laughable. And then when they finally kill themselves we call it “manipulative, selfinjurious behavior” an act of “asymmetric warfare” waged against us. It’s all very funny! Very funny! Maybe the only reason we aren’t having a really good laugh is because the little Gitmo tricks have started popping up close to home. The recent revelations of FBI abuses of the Patriot Act. All those bogus subpoenas and manufactured evidence against American citizens. Maybe it’s just ruined some of the fun of Gitmo. Oh well. We’re in a war. We all need to lighten up a little. [He sits down.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Judge Marianna Folger’s courtroom, she is giving her ruling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Judge Marianna Folger:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They say when people get scared the first thing they’ll give up is their civil liberties. That’s why after nine eleven we were only too happy to get frisked at airports. Some of us enjoyed it more than others. [Denny reacts with a smile.] But when it gets to a point where people are captured, then tortured, not because there is evidence, but rather just to see if there’s evidence. When they are jailed in perpetuity, afforded no trial, my God, the court has a duty to step in. The government’s motion to dismiss is denied. &lt;a href="http://www.boston-legal.org/script/BL03x22.pdf"&gt;Boston Legal Guantanamo by the Bay Season 3, Episode 22&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZEI8u0GlVHk"&gt;Alan Shore's closing argument on YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-555128235534945671?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/555128235534945671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/555128235534945671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/calling-someones-bluff.html' title='Calling Someone&apos;s Bluff'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-4358258794682392337</id><published>2007-07-04T11:05:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:29:43.127Z</updated><title type='text'>Trusting in Love - Part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;A friend asked me the following question that I believe is worth sharing, in case others find it useful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you first started to let Love take care of the physical body, letting Love take control, how long did it take to know that you did not need to 'feel' tired. I am finding that this works for me for a short time and then as soon as I 'forget' I revert back to the old routine and "whammo" I'm feeling tired again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;First of all please note that what I'm about to share is how I see things. It doesn't mean it is the Way but it is a way of seeing that works for me, which you may or may not resonate with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I answer your question, here's a bit of background about my way of seeing. I believe there is only one place and it is Spirit, Love, Mind, Soul, God, Consciousness...whatever you like to call it. Though Love may appear to be physical it is not really physical, things just appear to be solid because of one's perception. In reality there is only one Love appearing in infinite ways. Just like water can take the form of solid, liquid and gas, Love can appear as physical, emotions, thoughts, or feelings. It doesn't mean these different appearances are separate, they are all one, though for whatever reason we can choose to see them as separate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a time when I couldn't tell the difference between a work of art in someone's imagination and people as we see them. I would go to an art gallery and all these pictures will come to life around me. I decided to "tune out" of the "mental" realm and only tune in when I feel it's necessary. Just because I consciously made the decision to "tune out" doesn't mean the characters in the paintings went away. They are right here and now and as real and solid as I am real and appear to be solid, I just choose not to "see" them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To recap, there is only the one ocean of Love whether they are making waves as solids, thoughts or feelings. It doesn't matter what the experience is, it is never separate from the ocean of Love. In practical terms, this means that everything I do is done by the ocean of Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to your question:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;When you first started to let Love take care of the physical body, letting Love take control, how long did it take to know that you did not need to 'feel' tired.&lt;/blockquote&gt;It is really about constantly remembering that my identity is the ocean of Love not the waves coming out of the ocean. The moment I identify myself as "only human", I end up dreaming myself as a separate entity with only a limited amount of energy that has to be sustained through sleep, eating, exercises and other dream methods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I am dreaming myself as "only human" I appear to have two selves: the self that goes through trials and tribulations, and cycles of birth and death; and the real self that is perfect love and untouched by any drama. The real self that is all wise teaches the human self. Some people dream the real self as someone else that is awake who comes to teach him how to awake from the dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I'm dreaming I need to be sustained or taught, the truth of Reality remains unchanged: I am still Infinite Love. Love is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I practise the following five principles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I constantly remember that my real identity is the Infinite Self, Spirit, Love, Mind, Peace, Joy etc. In other words, I am not human, nor am I Love having a human experience; I am Love living as and in Love. All is Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, I act in accordance with my identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So let's take your example of being tired. I would simply know myself as Love. I may appear to be physical but I'm Love now and for always. I then have to trust and let Love be. I let Love move and work as me in Its own way, effortlessly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, when I'm writing a piece, I'm writing as Infinite Love and it is effortless. If I feel an article is not working out, I leave it in draft and get centred. When I'm back in my "right mind" the article writes itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third, I am very gentle with myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I feel tired I don't beat myself up about it. As soon as I remember or another aspect of Love reminds me of my identity, I'm back on track.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth, I always remember that there is no place but here now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no destination, nowhere to go to but here now. There are no evolved souls. There is only Soul. Life is a never-ending opportunity to experience who I am as Love, who we all are as Love. Obviously, some of us have made connections with people to experience life with. Some of us have even paired up to do so. I know I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, I practise being in silence. In silence I am one with the All.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my dear friend, letting Love be me is a habit I've cultivated and continue to cultivate. If you resonate with my way of seeing, then keep identifying yourself as Love and trusting in Love that is everywhere present to be you. Be gentle with yourself. Love is constantly reminding you of your true nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always remember that you are loved and supported in all ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my love.&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/using-gifts-i-have.html"&gt;Using the Gifts I Have&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/invisible-users.html"&gt;Invisible Users&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/identity.html"&gt;Identity&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/ocean-of-love_05.html"&gt;An Ocean of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/symbols-thoughts-or-feelings.html"&gt;Symbols, Thoughts or Feelings&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/being-here-now.html"&gt;Being Here Now&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/dream-of-losing-and-finding.html"&gt;The Dream of Losing and Finding&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/communion.html"&gt;Communion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/ideas-in-mind-part-2.html"&gt;Ideas in Mind - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/going-nowhere-fast.html"&gt;Going Nowhere Fast&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/of-spirit-and-claiming-your-spirit.html"&gt;Of Spirit and Claiming Your Spirit Passport&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/personal-versus-universal-approach.html"&gt;The Personal versus the Universal Approach&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/solid-liquid-and-gas.html"&gt;Solid, Liquid, and Gas&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/06/universal-consciousness.html"&gt;Universal Consciousness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/trust-in-many-hands-to-make-light-work.html"&gt;Trust in the Many Hands to Make Light Work&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/02/mighty-us.html"&gt;The Mighty Us&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-it-means-to-live-in-spiritual.html"&gt;What It Means to Live in a Spiritual Universe&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/12/are-you-back-seat-driver_110294059760584663.html"&gt;Are You a Back-Seat Driver?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/12/all-is-universal-energy_06.html"&gt;All is Universal Energy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4358258794682392337?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4358258794682392337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4358258794682392337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html' title='Trusting in Love - Part 2'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-664753784316296512</id><published>2007-07-03T12:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:30:42.186Z</updated><title type='text'>Using the Gifts I Have</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Infinite Love is all there is. This means we all have access to love because love is what we all are. We are all equally gifted with infinite love that we can experience and share. Sometimes the human dream can make one forget their true nature. Forgetting one's true nature is like someone starving to death while still having his cupboards and fridge stock up with food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My friend and I were chatting about techniques to help one fall asleep. He said that when he breathes in a particular way, it sends him to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You humans like doing things the hard way," I teased him. "When I want to fall asleep, I ask the Universe to put me to sleep and wake me up at a certain time and it happens."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, I used to count &lt;a href="http://www.novaroma.org/via_romana/numbers.html"&gt;Roman Numerals&lt;/a&gt; backward to help me fall asleep but it turned out to defeat the whole objective because I would be so focused on the numbers, it would keep me wide awake. I finally realised that I could simply ask for the Universe to keep me awake, when I remember to ask that is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point is when I don't ask for help, I'm not using the gifts that I have. I am forgetting that my nature is infinite love and I end up trying to work things out or think my way into a solution. When I remember that my identity is Love, life unfolds effortlessly and is filled with wonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find Infinite Love is a tangible presence that is as real as my body is real. It's not enough to just feel the Love, I need to be able to put the Love into good use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On my bus journey I experienced a stomach cramp. I put out the intent that I wanted to feel the presence of Love in what is appearing as my stomach. Love took over and dissolved the pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe when I let Love see, hear, taste, smell, feel, experience and move as me, then, and only then, am I truly using the gifts that I have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/energy-efficiency.html"&gt;Energy Efficiency&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/showcase-for-greatness.html"&gt;A Showcase for Greatness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/identity.html"&gt;Identity&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/translation.html"&gt;Translation&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/party-tricks.html"&gt;Party Tricks&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/awakening_15.html"&gt;Awakening&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/we-have-all-love-in-world.html"&gt;We Have All the Love in the World&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/trust-in-love-to-sort-out-details.html"&gt;Trust in Love to Sort out the Details&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/gifts-of-love.html"&gt;Gifts of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2004/12/are-you-back-seat-driver_110294059760584663.html"&gt;Are You a Back-Seat Driver?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://www.powertoshare.com/dropzone/articles/2004/06/divine-love-a-gentle-reminder/"&gt;Divine Love - A Gentle Reminder&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-664753784316296512?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/664753784316296512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/664753784316296512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/using-gifts-i-have.html' title='Using the Gifts I Have'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-799612056830140592</id><published>2007-07-02T11:03:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-07-02T13:03:51.578+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Respect</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;In a previous article called &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;, I wrote about how a lightning strike blew out the Satellite Digital box. After the engineer replaced the Box, my mother suggested that to avoid this happening in future, we should always unplug the television every night. I didn't agree with my mother because I believed she was anticipating more of the same. Because I know my mother believes in God/Love, I suggested that she demonstrates her trust in Love by leaving the plug in. Mum didn't share my view and continued to unplug the television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two nights ago on her way to bed, my mother reminded me to unplug the television after I'd finished watching. I honoured her belief and unplugged the television. Last night after she'd finished watching and switched off the television, I noticed she hadn't unplugged the television.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mum, did you forget to unplug the television?" I said.&lt;br /&gt;"No, I didn't. I can't be bothered, it's way too much hassle."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of making someone wrong for espousing a particular belief, why not simply accept where they're coming from? I didn't believe in my mother's choice but I respected her right to choose. This way she felt heard and loved for who she was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many beliefs I don't buy into, which are rather like television programmes that don't appeal to me. However, I also believe everyone has the right to express what they believe to be true. I can always switch the channel if I don't want to watch a particular programme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love to all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html"&gt;Trusting in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/non-judgment-and-faith.html"&gt;Non-Judgment and Faith&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/01/friendship.html"&gt;Friendship&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/support.html"&gt;Support&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/11/perceptions.html"&gt;Perceptions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-799612056830140592?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/799612056830140592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/799612056830140592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/respect.html' title='Respect'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-8232422202613123799</id><published>2007-07-01T13:36:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:22:25.506Z</updated><title type='text'>Real Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;In a previous &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-one-is-loving-all.html"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;, I wrote about I observed a man's love for his daughter. Their love was so powerful, I could feel it radiating all around them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I was waiting for my bus I sat next to this young woman. She had a suitcase with her. After a while her attention was drawn across the other side and she got up and dragged her suitcase with her. I could see she was walking towards an older woman, who looked as if she had come to pick her up by car. The younger woman was struggling with her suitcase yet the older woman made no move to approach her or to assist the young lady with her suitcase. When they got together, they exchanged kisses. Their meeting felt lacklustre as if they were just going through the motions. If there was any love between them, I wasn't feeling it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I being judgmental? Am I projecting my idea of love onto their experience? All I know is I know what love feels like and I was certainly not feeling any love from those two, not the kind of love I felt between that man and his daughter. It felt more like duty and obligation than real love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I used to dream of the love that father had for his daughter. While I was very close to my uncle (my mother's older brother) who was my father figure, I've always wanted to experience that love that's always in someone's eyes whether I'm being good or bad, happy or sad. I never got that from my mother because she didn't know how to love; she was a product of her own upbringing. Love for her was providing for her children's needs until you're old enough to look after yourself. While I do appreciate that is a kind of love, I believe real Love is a whole lot more. Here's an example of what I mean by real love:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1: Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.&lt;br /&gt;2: Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:&lt;br /&gt;3: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;&lt;br /&gt;4: Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;&lt;br /&gt;5: Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvPsal.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=103&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Psalm 103&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Real Love forgives, redeems, heals, rescues, blesses, supplies and satisfies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I couldn't find real love from my parents, I thought I could find that kind of love in relationships but I only ended up disillusioned. I finally realised that I was the Love that I was seeking. In order to experience this Love, I had to love myself unconditionally and allow myself to be loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Love.&lt;br /&gt;I love.&lt;br /&gt;I am loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-one-is-loving-all.html"&gt;Loving One is Loving the All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-true-desire.html"&gt;The One True Desire&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/god-can-afford-everything.html"&gt;God Can Afford Everything&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/compassion.html"&gt;Compassion&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/being-answer.html"&gt;Being the Answer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/non-judgment-and-faith.html"&gt;Non-Judgment and Faith&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/come-let-me-kiss-you-better.html"&gt;Come, Let Me Kiss You Better!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/love-heals-love-restores.html"&gt;Love Heals, Love Restores&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/06/allowing-yourself-to-feel-so-deeply.html"&gt;Allowing Yourself to Feel So Deeply Cherished&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/07/expecting-cat-to-behave-like-dog.html"&gt;Expecting a Cat to Behave Like a Dog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-8232422202613123799?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/8232422202613123799'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/8232422202613123799'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/real-love.html' title='Real Love'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-6564548179280740771</id><published>2007-06-30T14:02:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-30T16:21:16.288+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Invisible Users</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;My experience of Internet forums is that when you register as a member, you have a choice whether to let other users see your online status or whether to remain invisible. I usually prefer to remain invisible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an invisible user I still have access to all the facilities in the forum just like visible registered users. I can still post messages just like visible registered users. The only difference is that users can't tell whether I'm online or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We tend to think that just because someone is invisible that that person is not close by. The truth is that we are not separate at all. I've had experiences where I've thought of someone I care very deeply for and felt his fingers stroking my cheek and they were as real as my own fingers. I can even feel his presence.  So it makes no difference that he's not "visible", he's still very much visible as far as I'm concerned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe people who have "passed on" are simply registered users who choose to remain invisible. They're still working alongside visible humans. In fact, they can do the same work we can on a physical level it's just that their online status is invisible. When an invisible human does something, visible humans get startled and call it a miracle.  To the invisible human, he's only doing what he can to help as and when the need arises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the easiest way to break the "veil" between the visible (physical) and invisible (unseen) is to treat both as the same.  There is truly no difference between the two states, just a choice people are making.  Just like I can speak to a visible person by telephone or even telepathically, there's nothing stopping me from speaking to my "invisible" friends. In fact, I do this all the time. How do you think I receive ideas? My "invisible" friends give me these ideas. My invisible friends even bring to my attention events to look out for that pertain to my own personal journey, and they're always right. My "invisible" friends tend to have a big picture perspective of things which I find very helpful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so grateful to all my friends, visible and invisible, for all their support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/sleeping-partners.html"&gt;Sleeping Partners&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/satellite-navigation-system.html"&gt;Satellite Navigation System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-6564548179280740771?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6564548179280740771'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6564548179280740771'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/invisible-users.html' title='Invisible Users'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-6048179694708741094</id><published>2007-06-30T10:25:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:16:09.749Z</updated><title type='text'>Loving One is Loving the All</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;A while back I used to see this man on the bus with his young daughter who looked about 6 years old or there about. You could see how much he loved her. He was beaming with love for her and she was returning his love. His beam touched everyone on the bus. Whenever our eyes met he would grin at me. I would observe how they interacted with one another. Even when he was being firm with his daughter, it was done with such love. They were a real joy to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This morning I went to catch my bus a lot later than normal. I was so pleased when the man and his daughter got on my bus. The man still had that lovely beam about him and he smiled at everyone until our eyes met. When he recognised me he smiled and I returned his smile and said hello. His daughter also smiled. I said to her that she had grown a lot taller since I last saw her. During the journey I enjoyed the love that they shared. It was wonderful being in their presence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sitting in a park recently with a friend. While we were enjoying each other's company, my friend said he could sense how passers-by were picking up on our love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the greatest gift we can give one another is our love. When someone has an object of affection, that love radiates out into the universe. It doesn't matter that the human programme states that one can only love a few people like your partner, kids, parents, relatives, friends and a few others, real Love embraces everyone whether one is aware of this or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also believe in consciously channelling the energy of love that wells up within me when I'm feeling love for others and myself. I like to project it out into the universe. As I give out love I open up to more love and I feel my love dam within burst wide open. Then I feel the love radiating back and forth... ad infinitum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I'm loving one I am loving the all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All my love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/pandoras-box.html"&gt;Pandora's Box&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/bliss.html"&gt;Bliss&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/staying-joined-in-love.html"&gt;Staying Joined in Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/life-is-one-continuous-beam.html"&gt;Life is One Continuous Beam&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-6048179694708741094?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6048179694708741094'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6048179694708741094'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/loving-one-is-loving-all.html' title='Loving One is Loving the All'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-23046134100463736</id><published>2007-06-29T19:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T19:22:25.623+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Reunion</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;The British pop band &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_That"&gt;Take That&lt;/a&gt; split up years ago and were reunited in 2005. Now the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_Girls"&gt;Spice Girls&lt;/a&gt; who split up in 2001 are now reunited. What's it all about? Is it because the group want to cash in or is it about love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When both bands split up, each member went solo or got involved in their own different projects until eventually they were drawn to make music again. Even Geri Halliwell, the first to leave the Spice Girls, has been accepted as part of the group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I happen to love both Take That and the Spice Girls and I like to think that it was the love the singers and the fans had for the music that brought them back together so they could create more music. Love is like that - it heals all ideas of separation and brings people who love being together. So what if the bands and record companies make pots of money out of it? At least they're making millions of fans happy; everyone's a winner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would love to see the Spice Girls in concert; it would be a lot of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I was reunited with an old friend. Unlike the aforementioned pop groups, he wasn't someone I've met before in this lifetime but I've always known him. We had arranged to be separated so we could get involved in our own pet projects and be reunited when the time was right. Now that we've been reunited I'm not letting him out of my sight. I know we are here to make great music together&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love reunions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/devotion.html"&gt;Devotion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-23046134100463736?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/23046134100463736'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/23046134100463736'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/reunion.html' title='Reunion'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-4385695731349772312</id><published>2007-06-29T14:14:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-29T16:13:33.785+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing Personal - Part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;In &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/nothing-personal.html"&gt;Nothing Personal&lt;/a&gt;, I wrote about how I had a headache but I refused to accept it as mine and so I let it pass right through me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was working on another article, I felt my stomach churning away and it started to gripe. I got centred and realised Love's omnipresence. I thought: Love is the only cause and only real, anything else will pass right through. My stomach stopped hurting.

The rest of the Psalm lists the many ways one experiences Love's protection. For example:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;7: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.&lt;br /&gt;8: Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.&lt;/blockquote&gt;This means that when some people are going through trauma and fear, you will not be affected. Why? Because Love can only protect those who are focused on Love. If your focus is on fear, then your experiences will be fear based. What is fear? I believe fear is the belief that God/Love/Spirit/Truth/Light has an opposition. This is why you can have two people living under the same roof yet having different experiences; one is full of love and the other is fearful. Here's one such example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few days ago while I was out, there was a thunderstorm. When I returned home my mother told me that after a flash of lightning, the television went dead. After a while the television came back on but she couldn't get the satellite Digibox to work. Yesterday, the Sky engineer (satellite providers) came round. He said the box had been completely blown out and he replaced it with a new one. Mum said, to be on the safe side, after we've finished watching television, we should now always unplug the television from the mains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I woke up this morning I noticed mum had unplugged the television. For me it didn't seem at all like trust but fear. I heard my mother reading her Bible passages, as she usually does. After she finished I put forward a suggestion which I said was only a suggestion and she was free to accept or ignore. I said that unplugging the TV suggested that she was expecting another strike. I said there is no need to do this when you have complete faith in God's presence. Mum said she would rather do her own thing, which was fair enough. Before I left I gave her a hug and told her I loved her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see there we are living in the same house yet we experience different realities. Mum believes in God and yet she believes that there is another power that she's meant to be scared of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me there is no compromise. You either trust in Love or you don't. It's no point me going on about how "Love is all there is" and getting scared of a thunder storm. I believe unplugging the television demonstrates trust in many powers instead of the One power that is Love. At the same time, I accept my mother's freedom to choose as she sees fit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can perfectly understand why people find it difficult to trust in Love when the ways of the world is based on fear consciousness. Kids are programmed not to trust. Don't trust in strangers; don't trust in this food; don't trust in this TV programme; don't trust in this animal or insect; don't trust in this nation; don't trust in this race of people, etc. Fear, fear, fear. Here we are swimming in Love and people can't experience Love because their focus is on fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe the first step of "spiritual awakening" is realising that there is only Love. When I realised the presence of Love, the world didn't suddenly transform into sweetness and light, it still looked the same. However, I stopped feeling scared, or rather, Love dissolved the fears I had. For instance, I used to be concerned about food. I would be checking food labels to see how much preservatives there were, or concerned about my calorie intake. I used to only drink bottled water. Well, when I trusted in Love's omnipresence, I realised that Love is in all foods and it is this Love that sustains me. So who cares about additives and preservatives? Who cares about bottled water? I am free to eat and drink what I prefer without any fear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a point when I hated living in London because I thought it was too fast, cold, chaotic and unfriendly. When I realised Love's omnipresence, my attitude towards London was transformed. I started to appreciate all that was good about London, which is everything. I realised that happiness is never about an area or thing but one's consciousness. In fact, I don't live in a city called London, I live and have my being in Love, which is appearing as a city called London, Edinburgh, Birmingham, New York, Adelaide etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the bus stop yesterday I noticed all the seats were taken. A young man offered me his seat, which I gladly accepted. A woman beside me was munching away on what looked like nuts. She offered me some. I accepted. As it wasn't something I was familiar with, I asked her what it was. She said she couldn't remember the name but she got it from a health food shop. She said it was supposed to be good for one's skin and helps to reduce cholesterol. While I no longer believe in the paradigm of eating to make me healthier, I was grateful that she wanted to share her belief with me. Whatever it was had an interesting texture and flavour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Love gives everyone the freedom to choose. We are free to realise Love as the only power and reality or we are free to dream of fear. I choose love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/07/trusting-in-love-part-2.html"&gt;Trusting in Love - Part 2&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/going-whole-hog.html"&gt;Going the Whole Hog&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/trust.html"&gt;Trust&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/diplomatic-immunity.html"&gt;Diplomatic Immunity&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/making-everything-up.html"&gt;Making Everything Up&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/heaven-is-living-from-inside-out.html"&gt;Heaven is Living from the Inside Out&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/no-fear.html"&gt;No Fear!&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/09/there-is-only-one-power_21.html"&gt;There is Only One Power&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/06/weaning_18.html"&gt;Weaning&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/05/dear-god-what-is-your-will-for-me.html"&gt;Dear God, What is Your Will For Me?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj.blogspot.com/2006/03/god-doesnt-make-mistakes.html"&gt;God Doesn't Make Mistakes&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2006/01/what-is-truth.html"&gt;What is Truth?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-it-means-to-live-in-spiritual.html"&gt;What It Means to Live in a Spiritual Universe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-2542000352939941502?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2542000352939941502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/2542000352939941502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/trusting-in-love.html' title='Trusting in Love'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-7662214086277408043</id><published>2007-06-28T14:08:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-28T14:58:41.262+01:00</updated><title type='text'>The One True Desire</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=5414437&amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=delight"&gt;Psalm 37: 4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;A friend shared with me that when he was at a workshop everyone was asked what their deepest desires were. Someone, for instance, wanted her kids to be happy and well provided for. My friend said he only wanted to go into the Light. He said he felt bad that he didn't wish happiness for his kids. I believed what my friend had asked for was more important - the one true desire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's more important than to know who you are as Light and Love? When you are being Love-Light everyone around you benefits from your love including your loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm reminded of the Biblical story of King Solomon who after succeeding his father to the throne prayed for wisdom and knowledge to help him rule his people. God not only granted Solomon wisdom and knowledge but wealth, riches and honour. &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=825514&amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=wisdom"&gt;2 Chronicles 1: 10-12&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Matthew, Jesus teaches that instead of worrying about how your needs are to be taken care one must first seek to know God or your true self:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvMatt.sgm&amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;tag=public&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;part=6&amp;division=div1"&gt;Matthew 6: 33&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;As you can see King Solomon did actually want to experience his true self as wisdom and knowledge, which resulted in all things i.e. wealth, riches, glory, being added to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe there is only one true desire: to know and be the true self whose attributes include: beauty, wisdom, life, love, truth, abundance, freedom, and peace. Then you get to experience heaven on earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe my friend's desire to know his true self as Light will result in the other things added unto him, including happiness and prosperity for his children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In love and light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/06/love-will-come-to-you.html"&gt;Love Will Come to You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/problem-is-there-arent-any-problems.html"&gt;The Problem is There Aren't Any Problems&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-7662214086277408043?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7662214086277408043'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/7662214086277408043'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-true-desire.html' title='The One True Desire'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-1914396611018854644</id><published>2007-06-28T12:48:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2008-02-13T16:01:54.808Z</updated><title type='text'>Nothing Personal</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;As I was typing an article, I suddenly felt one side of my head throbbing.

One couple said the man's snoring was having an impact on their marriage. The woman said that if the husband didn't seek help they were going to have to split up. The programme followed how the snorers were helped by various forms of therapy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I see it, it was much ado about nothing. If someone you care about is snoring beside you, why not use it as an opportunity to realise your nature as Peace? I certainly have. In any case, I have also mastered the art of sleeping anywhere whether there is someone snoring beside me, music blaring away or people speaking on their mobiles. I simply tune the sound out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You snore in your sleep, do you?

She didn't look as if she needed any assistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It got me thinking about maps. Someone had to do the legwork of exploring the different areas, and designing these maps into a format we use at the moment. I'm also aware that the "A-Z" of London is only a rough guide to London. If I want to know London, or any city for that matter, I'm going to have to explore it myself. No street map can ever capture the sights, sounds and smell of an area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have written &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/post-it-notes.html"&gt;elsewhere&lt;/a&gt; that the stories I share are reminders to myself about what it means to be true to myself. The stories are also my contribution to the human experience. My intention is to share my findings, which readers may use as maps or guides to explore who they are. A map can only point out the way but the real work of self-discovery remains with each individual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dream is to experience and share thousands of ways of being.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, I received an email from a friend who reads my blogs and he made the following comment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Thanks Enocia. You really are doing a good thing by writing your thoughts.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I am so grateful to the travel guides who have left maps that I have found very useful in my "journey." I'm delighted to share ideas that others can use as maps if they so choose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With love.&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/post-it-notes.html"&gt;Post-It Notes&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/with-gratitude.html"&gt;With Gratitude&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4353124040919342006?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4353124040919342006'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4353124040919342006'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/travel-guides.html' title='Travel Guides'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-436124008895242484</id><published>2007-06-27T12:12:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-27T12:40:56.068+01:00</updated><title type='text'>What a Voice!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;While I was waiting at the bus stop, I heard this your man speaking on his mobile phone.

After he'd finished his conversation I went over to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Excuse me, are you an actor?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Do you have a profession where you use your voice? The reason why I'm asking is because I think your voice is amazing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thank you," he said. "You're the second person who's told me that. My voice is very loud and projects out there. It does get embarrassing when I'm having a conversation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Don't worry I wasn't listening to your conversation, I was too busy admiring your voice."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Thanks.

Whenever I have a moment, I repeat the Psalm over and over again from memory. I find this diet clears congestion around the solar plexus chakra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.&lt;br /&gt;2: I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.&lt;br /&gt;3: Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.&lt;br /&gt;4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.&lt;br /&gt;5: Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;&lt;br /&gt;6: Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.&lt;br /&gt;7: A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.&lt;br /&gt;8: Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.&lt;br /&gt;9: Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;&lt;br /&gt;10: There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.&lt;br /&gt;11: For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.&lt;br /&gt;12: They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.&lt;br /&gt;13: Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.&lt;br /&gt;14: Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.&lt;br /&gt;15: He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.&lt;br /&gt;16: With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation. &lt;/blockquote&gt;Other truth diets include repeating various passages from the Bible as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvPsal.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=23&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Psalm 23: 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvPsal.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=27&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Psalm 27: 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/english/religion/kjv/kjv-pub.o2w&amp;amp;act=text&amp;amp;offset=5248870&amp;amp;textreg=0&amp;amp;query=lean+not"&gt;Proverbs 3: 5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvPsal.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=119&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Psalm 119: 18&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron." &lt;a href="http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/toccer-new2?id=KjvIsai.sgm&amp;amp;images=images/modeng&amp;amp;data=/texts/english/modeng/parsed&amp;amp;tag=public&amp;amp;part=45&amp;amp;division=div1"&gt;Isaiah 45: 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;I also like repeating affirmations such as "Love is all there is," or "I am that I am."

Is it this the effect of global warming? Are these signs that the end of the world is nigh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No idea. Here's another way to look at it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if all these external signs are more about people's emotions. When you're feeling fear you're hardly going to be at peace. When your emotions are all over the place, isn't the external going to reflect this? I know I haven't been on an even keel recently, I've been up and down emotionally, which isn't like me. My stomach was feeling funny yesterday all day which is a sure sign of emotions I'm picking up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the world is only what I am dreaming it is, I am responsible for how I experience it. If I want to see a different world, I'm going to have to be it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am Peace.&lt;br /&gt;Peace is all there is.&lt;br /&gt;Peace be with you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/id-rather-be-myself-than-convert-others.html"&gt;I Would Rather Be Myself Than Convert Others&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2007/01/season-of-light.html"&gt;Light Season&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/10/peace-be-with-you.html"&gt;Peace Be With You&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/peace-that-passes-all-understanding.html"&gt;Peace that Passes all Understanding&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/07/charity-begins-and-ends-at-home.html"&gt;Charity Begins and Ends at Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-4816982796537942679?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4816982796537942679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/4816982796537942679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/peace-in-all-ways.html' title='Peace in All Ways'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-6654467941846622059</id><published>2007-06-26T12:07:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T18:23:27.308Z</updated><title type='text'>Reality Check</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;From time to time I like to remind myself why I do what I do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe Spirit/Love/Mind is all there is right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am an expression of Spirit in manifestation. This means that my body is not an instrument for Spirit/my true self to work through, it is Spirit in form. In other words, my function as Love and my body are one and the same. As long as I have a function I would always have a body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I an not here to learn lessons, I'm here to explore who I am as my true self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not here to change the world but to be the change I want to experience in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Living as my true self means giving up beliefs that are distracting. I know that I can't have both the world and Love. One of them has to be sacrificed then I get to have it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am grateful for my kindred spirits who make the destination to nowhere journey very pleasant indeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace be with you all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related articles: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/identity.html"&gt;Identity&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/05/post-it-notes.html"&gt;Post-It Notes&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/being-here-now.html"&gt;Being Here Now&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-function-and-my-body-are-one.html"&gt;My Function and My Body are One&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/heaven-is-living-from-inside-out.html"&gt;Heaven is Living from the Inside Out&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/02/let-go-and-let-all.html"&gt;Let Go and Let All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://lifeasejknowsit.blogspot.com/2007/01/destination-nowhere_27.html"&gt;Destination Nowhere&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/of-spirit-and-claiming-your-spirit.html"&gt;Of Spirit and Claiming Your Spirit Passport&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://freedom-expression-being.blogspot.com/2006/12/light-is-all-and-in-all.html"&gt;Light is All and in All&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://livingaslovelight.blogspot.com/2006/08/path-of-receiving.html"&gt;The Path of Receiving&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://enociaj2.blogspot.com/2006/08/transmuting-fire-of-love.html"&gt;The Transmuting Fire of Love&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://theoneinall.blogspot.com/2005/08/why-are-we-waiting.html"&gt;Why are We Waiting?&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://vector8.blogspot.com/2005/05/what-it-means-to-live-in-spiritual.html"&gt;What It Means to Live in a Spiritual Universe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-6654467941846622059?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6654467941846622059'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/6654467941846622059'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/reality-check.html' title='Reality Check'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-5097879989726562475</id><published>2007-06-25T19:16:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-26T11:52:18.778+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Playing By Your Own Rules</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;One of my favourite programmes on television is &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Legal"&gt;Boston Legal&lt;/a&gt;, which is about the antics the lawyers at "Crane, Poole &amp; Schmidt" get up to and their outlandish lawsuits. In the last episode I watched, Denny Crane, one of the senior partners, interviews a potential associate who happens to be black. Denny, being Denny, tells the man that he doesn't sound black which the man finds deeply offensive. The next thing you know "Crane, Poole &amp;amp; Schmidt" are under scrutiny in the media, again, for holding such a controversial opinion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the partners at "Crane, Poole &amp; Schmidt" are up in arms about Denny's attitude and call an emergency meeting to kick Denny out. Shirley Schmidt, another senior partner, decides the best way to salvage the situation is to have a press conference. However, the partners insist they have the meeting first to decide Denny's fate in the firm. Shirley asks for a show of hands to ascertain how many people want Denny out. Majority of the partners raise their hands. Shirley says "The nays have it," and Denny ends up keeping his job.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shirley then attends her press conference. She argues that when Denny said the potential associate didn't sound black, Denny wasn't being racist but just stating an attribute the man has that was very appealing to their clients. Shirley admits that they like their black lawyers with a bit of cream to appeal to their white corporate clients. She points out that the media does the exact same thing with their black news readers to appeal to a mass audience. Shirley concludes that she's aware they are not perfect but that's the way things are. Then she walks out of the press room leaving the journalists speechless. The journalists can't comeback with questions because they know she is speaking the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I liked about this episode was the power that Shirley had to operate by her own rules. Usually when a vote is carried, the "ayes" usually win the vote. As a senior partner, Shirley was able to make up her own rules. At the press conference, she was also able to project the image she wanted of her firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A lucid dreamer is the equivalent of being your own boss. Then you are free to make up your own rules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nays have it. Too right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enocia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related article: &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/04/diplomatic-immunity.html"&gt;Diplomatic Immunity&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://cosmicluciddreamer.blogspot.com/2007/03/there-is-only-one-lucid-dreamer.html"&gt;There is Only One Lucid Dreamer&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://simplyenocia.blogspot.com/2005/11/game-of-life.html"&gt;The Game of Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7361016836099170034-5097879989726562475?l=cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5097879989726562475'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7361016836099170034/posts/default/5097879989726562475'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cosmicluciddreamer1.blogspot.com/2007/06/playing-by-your-own-rules.html' title='Playing By Your Own Rules'/><author><name>Enocia Joseph</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03582092231229657236</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='30' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rgB33dFJP3Y/Tf5Zi1iykoI/AAAAAAAAARA/G2g1WUYkBUk/s220/vector8.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361016836099170034.post-6845863567436079637</id><published>2007-06-25T19:12:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2007-06-26T15:44:43.657+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Yahoo is Love</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;A while back I thought how nice it would be to have more storage space on my Yahoo Mail.
