What are we all going to do when we realize that Chronos is god? Time is folding and unfolding, forming new connections and shapes, then pulling back to try something else. I think of it as an intelligence, just learning the extent of its powers and influence. And it is everything. Just as width and length are pointless in a physical environment unless they also have height, so is the world. Whoever said that time is what keeps everything from happening all at once was more right than we knew.
And I can feel it. I feel like I/we are riding on the back of a huge dragon as it runs around this portion of Universe. It's a feeling kind of like surfing an earthquake, if it were possible to do that.
Weird happenings all over. The way I'm noticing it mostly is it's effect on electric and technical objects. My phone kmoving things around and resetting itself. At least it made it possible to have a short cut key for the calculator again; I'd been missing that. Not quite so light and silly, the electrical outlet that powers our modem and router and most of the living room actually caught fire today. We're VERY lucky because the wall that contained the outlet is made of cinder block. Very not flammable.
Those of us who are serving as conduits for all these changes are having a rough time. I'm exhausted and in pain. Sometimes I can't see, sometimes I'm so light-headed that I shouldn't be driving. I'm incredibly behind with everything. I'm concerned about a friend. I think he may have hit his wall, doing all the incredible work he has been doing. But his family problems are breaking his heart. Well, they're trying to. But this latest heart attack and the death of his brother are just dirty pool. He really is tired and low right now. Most of me thinks he'll be back, but I'm wondering if this is his finish, he's done what he was required to do and now he'll just fade back into the woodwork. He's such a strong person that I can't even imagine that.
Another thing to keep in mind is that many people's work is done. They were here to contribute theior energy to the process and now they are done. And mannuddddddddf 
There are so many people dying. And such drama surrounding it. I find myself curling up and hiding away to avoid getting sucked in. It's just a dropping of physical form. That's it. It's like mourning for water as it boils and turns into vapor and moisture in the air that we can't see. It's just delusional and ignorant. That sounds harsher than I mean it to, but it is frustrating to watch. Especially since I know there's going to be A LOT more of it happening. Lots of individuals and lots of populations. The world will look very different three years from now.
Climate, too. We're having the hot weather of summer, but it's staying cooler than usual at night. I wouldn't be surprised to have real autumn hit us in September. Followed by real winter in November.It's going to be cold this winter, at least around here. We're going to start thinking we live in Big Bear. The animals are feeling it. We have some cats who are already developing winter coats, despite the daytime temps of 90's and 100's.
Change and shakeup is coming, and coming hard and fast.I wish I was in touch with other conduits. It is so important for us to maintain our objectivity and compassion. It seems we could have an easier time of it by consciously linking and supporting each other. And we could compare notes. And we could just share our situations and frustrations.
I don't know why I keep sending people to Montana and Washington. Anything north of the bay area is okay, but the farther north the better. I wish we could leave and move up north, but that's not a possibility right now. Besides, this land is holy. (For want of a better word.) We're safe here, and we're meant to own it. It shall happen, and within the next two years.
Okay, enough for one night.

I wish I could say I don't know what's going on. Actually, I have a pretty good idea, even if I can't quite language it yet.

It's been a weird 3 or 4 months, lots of confusion, depression, elation, sorrow, consummate moments, clarity, an energy version of a nervous breakdown if you want to know the truth...you know, real life for anyone who is moderately awake in these days of change and, dare i say it, tribulation.

I kept hearing a call to give up my psychic work and concentrate on my writing. Except for when I heard a call to give up my writing and concentrate on my psychic work. And in between was the total joy I get from my tea reviews. Also in between were these intense periods where I could feel more veils being lifted from our collective eyes and ears. At least for those who were willing to see and hear. Of course, the time is coming where nobody will have a choice, but as Alton Brown would say, that's another show.

So, it seems that it has become time for me to stop drawing lines between the parts of my life. I guess "psychic" isn't really that different from "writer." I can't explain that, any more than I can explain how my increasing pull to compose music is also part of the picture. I'd even like to paint, even though I've never had an artistic bone in my body. But, I don't have the set up for painting, and I do for the music. And I've only wanted to be a musician all of my conscious life.

But back to the psychic/writing thing. I guess it never occurred to me that those veils I could feel lifting weren't merely horizontal, but vertical as well. Not merely external, but also internal. And probably all kinds of odd shapes that would only make sense to Buckminster Fuller. Actually, I imagine he would find them delightful.

The moral of this story is, if you're noticing changes and a gathering of energies in the sensibilities around you, start looking for them in your own mind and life, because they are undoubtedly there. Just because you don't want to see them doesn't make them not real.

Right now, that's my warning and Universe's gift.

I've had no responses to my last post, which seemed kind of strange, because there's always somebody who says something. Then I looked at my email tonight. (You should go to www.tut.com and subscribe.)
This was my email message...

Know how to tell which of your new friends, old friends, and former friends actually understand you?Easy, Patricia, the ones who still love you.I still love you,

I feel very loved tonight. Sad and happy and blessed and grieving and magical and loved.

My god, it's almost 2 months since I was here! Life has continued unchecked. I've managed to enroll myself in school (starts in 2 days) and commit myself to about $7500 worth of debt to do so. With luck it will be about $12,000 by the time I get my BS. In Communications, which is to say a BS in BS. Emphasis on Technical Writing, so I'll be a TECHNICAL BSer. And then maybe law school, so a truly professional, well paid BSer.
I never cease to be amazed at how few people actually know or understand me, who I am, what I'm saying, what I'm thinking, what my life is. I'm starting to be a hermit not out of choice (although that's always part of it) but out of there's nobody who wants to or knows how to play with me. A very lonely feeling, which is something I haven't felt in a long time. I'd say "Damnit, I'm not that weird." but the truth is that I am. And I like me that way. I've worked hard to get here. To steal a line, I used to be different, but now I'm the same. And there's no going back.
I'm missing my husbands, I'm missing my life I left behind. Not that I can or would return to any of it.
Change of subject - I'm going to file income taxes for the first time in a very long time. And under occupation it's going to say "writer." That feels so satisfying, even if it DOES mean I'll have to pay taxes. It feels the way people must feel when they are living in a foreign country, unexplored territory, new discoveries every day, more about yourself than about where you are. And you can go home again, but you're never the same, you've become someone you didn't know but have learned to like, at least tentatively.

I made the killerest soup today! A bit of this, some of that, whatever was on hand or cheap.

Winging It Harvest Soup

2 medium cans low sodium garbanzo beans with their liquid (could use kidney or black or ?)
1 medium can no salt diced tomatoes
1 small red onion, quartered and sliced
4-6 large mature crimini mushrooms, halved and sliced
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 jalapeno pepper, ribs and seeds removed, finely diced (I'd use at least 2 next time)
1 pkg frozen corn
1 small butternut squash, peeled, seeded and roughly diced
8 cloves garlic, peeled and left whole (slightly smashed from peeling)

Combine everything in large kettle. Fill each empty can with water and add to pot. Bring to a boil and simmer easily until everything is very tender. It's soup!

Serve with lovely whole grain bread spread with unsalted peanut butter. Or, put a buttered slice of bread in the bowl and top with soup.

This soup is very low sodium on purpose but leaving out the salt allowed the sweetness of the vegetables to shine. I loved it that way.

No, that isn't too much garlic. As long as you leave the cloves mostly whole, they just become another vegetable in the mix. Next time I'll use a whole big head of garlic.

I just took a PBS poll on whether or not Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice-president. I'm stunned.
In the first place, the question isn't whether Sarah Palin is qualified to be vice-president. We have to evaluate her in terms of the presidency. If anything happens to John McCain, Sarah Palin becomes president. It's that simple.
I was amazed to see that 48% said no, she isn't qualified but 50% said yes, she is qualified.
I really can't believe this. When it was a choice between McCain and Obama, it was just a choice between two people, one I greatly agreed with and one I greatly disagreed with. There was no question for me of the qualifications of either for the office, merely their positions on the issues.
When John McCain announced that Sarah Palin would be his vice-presidential running mate, I went from disagreeing with him on the issues to being appalled and insulted by his choice. Pandering is all I can see in this choice.
She is not qualified to be president. I won't change my vote merely because there's a woman on one ticket, and I'm insulted that John McCain would think so. Appalled is the best word I can come up with, by John McCain and Sarah Palin, by journalists who can't remember that a vice-presidential candidate is also running for the presidency and must be qualified for that office, and by 50% of the people who took that poll who can't remember that either.
Between this and the Wall Street bailout, I'm in absolute shock.

Well, I got an invite to write a new type of article at Demand Media. They are soliciting "fact sheet" articles. A short intro, then one sentence each in several of quite a few categories. They're short, and ostensibly easier to write than a "how to" article so they don't pay as much. That's okay, I'll give it a shot.
And lots of people seem to be feeling A LOT of unsettled energy these days. I don't know if it has a foundation, but I can't deny what they're feeling. and many are blaming it on Ike, but it's more than that, I think.I also heard that a lot of the changes forecast for 2012 will actually be happening in 2010. Massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. A partial polar shifting, a readjustment of the poles. Dramatic weather changes all over the planet.
We've been hearing all of this for so many years. The interesting part for me is how many people have forecast it for these times. And now we're here. I'm not sure what means, or what to believe, but I'm curious and watching.
I saw "Burn Before Reading" last night. Very Coen Brothers and VERY funny. A whole movie full of stupid people who all think they're smarter than the rest. And they're not. I have to see it again. I may end up seeing it as many million times as I've seen "O Brother Where Art Thou."

Oh boy, radical changes going on here! I saw the rheumatologist last week and he completely changed my meds. So now it's Ultram and Neurontin, with just an occasional Darvocet. No more being bludgeoned into sleep by Soma and Darvocet.
I get to sleep normally and dream! And, if I'm sitting down, I mostly don't hurt! People don't realize what an enormous gift that is!
The non-stop blogging stuff was impossible. Some people are able to keep up with 6+ blogs, post every day, find something interesting to say and say it well. I'm not one of them.
So, I'm back to doing what I do best, giving readings and helping people. But, a whole new venue! I'm focusing on my etsy shop, selling a variety of different emailed readings and things. And I absolutely love it! I'm getting great feedback, people love my work, and I'm proud of my shop. I'm starting off small, but with a bit of success, so I'm encouraged. I'm going to expand my offerings and tweak my page, and the only way I can go is UP!
I'm still writing the "how to" articles for ehow.com, and that's still fun, but it's really nice to just have to concentrate on the two things, plus my online groups. I can breathe, I can relax, I can sit and enjoy NOT HURTING! NOT being drugged into submission, with pain just over the horizon at all times. Ten years of those meds and I hadn't realized that I'd lost a lot of ME along the way. Well, world, I'm new and improved (whatever that means!), and I'M BACK!

I can't really tell you what the teachings of Abraham are meaning to me lately.  I'll try anyway.
I'm currently reading Money and the Law of Attraction (and listening to the accompanying CD) and I'm also reading A New Beginning I (Handbook for Joyous Survival).  They're from 20 years apart, but the information glows in the same way.  And I'm actually enjoying the interplay of going back and forth in the books.  I haven't really started reading them in linear fashion, I just open them at random and find what I need.
I used to have a friend and we spent many hours trying to understand what the key is to creation.  I've known people who have been healed by prayer, healed by positive thinking, created miracles in all areas of their lives when they needed them.
In every case, they gave the credit to the "ritual" or "process."  What they didn't do was step back and try to figure out what it was about the process that actually flipped the switch.  That's what these books are about, how to throw the switch.  And I'm seeing the techniques at work all around me.
