It is…Sunday, February, 21, Two-Thousand and Twenty-Fun. Time...Redundant

Theme – I’m an Asshole

This is something that has come up a few times over the past several weeks in different ways. Admittedly, I have become a bit more ‘abrasive’ since my return from The Tour. I can’t give precise reasons as to why that is. I don’t really know. It could be restlessness. It could’ve a certain degree of completeness. Nonetheless, I have been a bit more direct in my dealings with people. Yet, I do not go looking for a fight. All I have done is defend and protect my space.

In one scenario, I had posted that I believed I had gotten The -Vid. There were many well-wishers, but only one came out with, “Please, please tell me you are quarantining.” I didn’t really want to get into a lot of dialogue and so I tried to keep it simple. I did tell him that it was too little too late for that, and that I wasn’t really concerned about the quarantining or any other part of this virus. I finished with, “I am taking my life back. F’ the world and its paranoia.” You see, first, my life is fairly quarantined. I live in my vehicle. I don’t encounter people unless I am visiting someone or working. So it’s kind of a moot point. Also, as I had pointed out, I had been following ‘protocol’ since day 1, yet I still ended up getting it. Besides, since day 1, I have watched and witnessed just how much protocol has not been followed. Right at The Job, for instance. We were given all sorts of cleaning and sanitizing protocols. We followed them for about a day. Then nobody seemed to care anymore [unless someone important was visiting. Then we put on the show.] This caused me to be more observant and aware when I was out and about. What I learned is that since day 1 we have been very backwards about it all. People, ore especially companies, not following guidelines and protocols, yet telling us how safe we were in their buildings. I started to take notice to all of the things we were still allowing and weighing them against things we were not. It all seemed very counter-productive to me. [In Connecticut, at a mall, we found an entire candy machine kiosk. So ripe for The Vid’s taking.] Yet, there it was ready to be used by all in the middle of a mall where I had to wear a mask. No sanitation, no gloves, no anything. Just a pool of virus and bacteria. I realized that we were all walking around so duped. We told ourselves how safe we were with social distancing and masks, but all of the subtler things that could have actually kept us safer were going unattended and unnoticed. No one noticed and no one cared because…they were wearing their masks. [Masks that were not really up to the task.] Finally, and more importantly, a week into the illness I was no longer contagious. And, it took me a week to realize that I might have The -Vid. For me, none of the symptoms came all together. The first few days, I was just very flu-ish. The next few days I was mostly tired. In fact, by Friday I just felt worked over. It wasn’t until Saturday that I noticed that I had no sense of smell. Unfortunately, this is an almost tell-tale sign. And then I did not have the associated bowel issues until early the following week. So, I had already been to work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Plus, I had seen the girls on Easter, the day before I actually got sick. This would have also been when I was most contagious. So, at the point of this dialogue, any damage I was going to do had already [inadvertently] been done.

I told the gentleman as much. [Without so much detail.] He came back with more words and lecturing. I told him that I really didn’t want to get into it and I wasn’t in the mood for a holy-roller attitude. To this he responded, “So much for loving people.” This kind of irritated and I let a little more loose on him, commenting as well that he had never once wished me well. He just jumped in with the quarantining. This elicited a response in which he told me I was making it all about me. He asked if I was so sensitive that I needed to hear well wishes from everyone. I told him that I didn’t need to hear anything from him but that I found it interesting that someone could condemn my level of love and compassion and not even make a simple, cordial statement first. This went on for awhile. He would pop up from time to time and write paragraphs more. It was all about how he was trying to ‘help’ me. I would continue to tell him to stop and that I wasn’t interested. Eventually, I would take to just leaving face smack emojis. Of course this called for more commentary from him. In the end, I finally explained to him my problem – I had repeatedly asked and insisted for this to end and he kept coming back with more. I had drawn my boundaries and he kept crossing them. He showed me no respect nor consideration. I took it a little further than that, comparing his behavior to that of mental rape. [and some mocking statement about canceling cartoon skunks.] That was the last I heard from him on that post. He is still my friend on the platform and has even asked a question on a different post. But, on that pos he has gone silent. [Not even an apology for putting me in that position.]

In my next story, we find me faced with something more potent. Again – social media. Some time ago I shared a post regarding how things have shifted so greatly in the short time the new president has been in office. It also commented that the last president may have been obnoxious [even nasty] sometimes but at least he was putting the country first. A friend of mine commented. He had all sorts of explanations for things like the rise in gas prices. He then turned his focus to the riot on the Capitol. As usual, I do not have details on this incident. I do not get full news [nor do I look for it.] I only get the headlines. I know that voices accused the [last] president incited that riot with words like, “let’s march down there…” I know they tried to impeach him for treason of some sort. I know that it didn’t happen. Being Jewish, his focus was on the fascists involved. Some of the participants openly wore symbols and signs. He subtly played around with suggesting that the last president was a part of all of this and therefore there was no love for him and that he didn’t see this kind of attitude to be putting the country first – certainly not the Jews. I do not know about any of this. But then that is not what the post was in regards to either. My response was to tell him that we are all entitled to our own opinions and feelings. He didn’t have to agree with me. I also pointed out that he didn’t have to comment either. He could just see the post he didn’t like and move on. This all eventually became a moment when he would private message em and tell me he didn’t like what he was seeing on. My page and that he would have to take a break from viewing it. [OK.] A few days ago, he contacted me and said he wanted to put a little closure on the moment, but not reopen the debate. Again, he brought up the crimes against the Jews and then commented something about he noticed we were no longer friends on the platform. I responded, explaining that I wasn’t sure what he was talking about. I told him I remembered the moment and that I do not have any supremacy thought/feelings. I also told him that I never unfriended him. He responded, having realized that he must have inadvertently done it when he tried to block my page temporarily. He also commented that I was so obviously upset by him. I have gone back and looked that over. I assured him I was never upset.

“So, we have peace now?”

“Dude, we had peace all along.”

Last week I posted a video. In it I commented that a friend had suggested that perhaps some of the lingering effects of the illness were due to low oxygen levels. I went on from there and just kind of did my thing. I don’t know if people realize the mindset I must be in to do those videos – especially the quick updates with no edits. It’s like channeling or reading cards or doing reiki. I have to be focused. But the focus in more on making sure I stay fluid. Very often I do not know what I said just after I said it.

So, the next day, my friend contacts me telling me that she saw the video and she received the message loud and clear. Our paths here were concluded. I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about and I told her as much. She replied, telling me that she saw the video and I was very snarky about her comments and I even let out a dramatic gasp. I had to think back to this moment. I knew it would be in my mind somewhere. I remembered enough of it and I contacted her back. I told her that I could see how she got that, “But,” I assured here, “I promise you that you are way over reading that.” I apologized that she took it that way. I was snarky and I did gasp, but it had nothing to do with her. She wasn’t in my thoughts. There were other things that I only briefly touched on in the video.

First, and foremost, I have no health insurance and I cannot afford visits and tests and treatments. So, as I stated in the video, anything doctor related is not an option. But there is more to it than that. Start with the fact that I have not experienced things in my body from a physical view in decades. If my knee hurts it means I’m not being flexible somewhere in my life. Or, that I am not giving myself the proper support. When my back hurts it is always because I am stressing over money, or once again I have found myself in a situation that makes me challenge my comfort with myself – my ego. When I get sick, it is because there are things that must be purged from my system. Also, I have a strange history with my body. I am the guy who has lost consciousness twice – with no medical explanation available.

So, I get it. I could have come across snarky about the whole thing. How could I not be a bit cynical. How could I not? In my experience, my body functions spiritually first and physically second. Her response was to chide me for gaslighting her. “If that’s all you are going to d, best not to do anything at all.” Again, I see her viewpoint. I did use ‘gaslighting terminology.’ But, that was not what I was trying to do. I wasn’t trying to make her feel foolish or simple. I wasn’t trying to turn anything around on her. I was simply trying to acknowledge that I could see her viewpoint and apologize for the moment the best that I could – without getting into the hefty explanations. So, I told her that I didn’t know what she wanted me to say. I had explained myself the best that I could. I had assured her that despite what she may think it truly had nothing to do with her. I had apologized the best I could, but I could not apologize for something I hadn’t done.

I didn’t hear back from her. So, the next day, I went to contact her. I wanted to ask what the proper response should have been. I wasn’t trying to be smart. I was trying to understand. But, it mattered not either way, because she has blocked and unfriended me.

I have one for good measure. I see it as an example of this, “Matt’s an asshole” mindset. Recently, a ‘friend’ had posted something about the most recent ‘police shooting’ trial. The verdict came out guilty. He posted a big picture of that word and the comment, “We shouldn’t have had to go through ALL of THAT to get justice.”

Now, again please remember, I only get the headlines – what are deemed by the media as the really important words. So, I knew there had been a trial. I knew the verdict was guilty. I knew of nothing else, so I asked, “All of what?” I wanted to know, because my interpretation of what he was saying scared me. I did not want to jump to conclusions. So, I asked for clarification. I got no response. The next day, I popped onto that post to check it out. My question was gone. So, I left another comment. I mentioned that maybe my question didn’t post or maybe it was deleted. “Either way,” I wrote, “It’s a shame because I was trying to understand.”

Another day went by and I had heard nothing from this gentleman. So, I put it out to my own community. It turns out there were some extra shenanigans involved. I don’t know what they were and I don’t need to know. My curiosity was satisfied. It was not as simple as an investigation and a trial. See, without that piece of information, it seemed to me that my ‘friend’ was suggesting we shouldn’t have to go through a trial to get justice…and that notion scared me. I didn’t want to jump to that conclusion.

However, it would seem that my friend was so convinced that I was just trying to cause trouble and start an argument that, he not only ignored me, he deleted me. [My comment.]

So, I guess it is true. I am an asshole. But, I am OK in this. For, I am not the kind of asshole who is coming and getting in our face and pushing people around. I am the kind of asshole that will hang back and wait and only when you provoke me will I tell you what I really think. [I guarantee you won’t like it.]

Lesson – The Power of Words

This came as a Lesson about words in the act of creation. What You Feed Energy Into Grows. What You Put Out Comes Back to You. I was reminded of all of this as I started to read through The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn. I’ve read it before and it was very important in my early days on the path. Words are a powerful thing, but they are also a tricky thing. It is not always about what it is you are asking for, but how you are asking for it. In the book she gives all sorts of examples – both constructive and destructive. So, I adopted what I could along the way. For instance, I never wished or prayed or asked for a home of my own. Instead, I prayed for the perfect home for me. For years, this found me left at Olde Geistopia. Now, it finds me living in The Vantasm. Though this is far from ideal, right now it is perfect for me. [Right now.] Be Careful What You Wish for You Just Might Get It.

When one realizes the power that is in words, the words become more important. They bear more weight. In light of the importance of words, one tends to choose to use less of them. Kelp it short, sweet, and simple. To the point. [Now that I am thinking on it, I wonder if this is why Jesus tells us not to prattle on when we pray to G-d.] Keep it Short, Sweet, and Simple. This is my basic approach anymore.

Yet, this is also what finds me in trouble time and time again. Take the previous stories. I did not feel like getting into weighty words or detailed dissertations. So, I tried to compact my thoughts as best I could. Each time this was met with words upon words in response.

I find words to be wasted in conversation. We use so many of them, waxing on so poetically in our descriptions and explanations. It is fruitless each and every time. It has been my experience that the though the human mind catches every sight and sound, it only acknowledges what it deems important at the time. So as one prattles on, another’s mind is picking out the ‘important words.’ This is not a conscious choice. It is not arrogance, nor ignorance. It is just what happens, unless one is focused on more. So, if you sit down with the purpose of listening or reading you are all in. You want every word. But if someone just comes at you with words upon words, the mind will filter. It always filters. The brain catches everything. It catches every sensation and moment. It catches the sights and the sounds and the smells. It gets everything. But we don’t need everything. We need pieces. So, the mind activates, sorting and filtering and filing accordingly.

It’s just how it works. So, why waste the words when they are so important? Just keep it…

Short, Sweet, and Simple. [Bonus Lesson.]

Observation – Perspective Perverts Perception

What you get is what you see. What you see is what you are looking for.

I do not know if there is anymore to say on this Observation. That pretty well sums it up. [Especially when you combine it with the previous tales told.]

The Post

Damn! What a week. I wonder if I can even do it justice.

I find myself to be in a state of perfection. [Or, perfect imperfection.] I have commented several times recently that I am experiencing a degree of peace that I do not think I have ever known before. All truly feels right with the world. Even the things one might think are so wrong.

For instance – living in The Vantasm. One might think this horribly pathetic. One might think there should be something better or more. Yet, if you look at all matters, Right This Moment it is absolutely perfect for me. I can survive like this and it works – for the time being. There are advantages to living in and from your vehicle. For instance, I always have what I need no matter where I am. Also, I can begin or end a day anywhere, or in any way, that I choose. I can move effortlessly throughout my day. I can go from seeing The Princesses to hauling metal to delivery driving all in the same day and never have to break or hesitate. [And, this week I have done a lot of such things.]

I am experiencing a slight setback in finances, but it was due more to the illness than anything else. However, the work I do have in front of me is so very perfect Right This Moment. I made my money this week. Or, at least, the very important part of it. As always, with goals and budgets, I have tiered my progress. There is an ultimate goal. There is a minimal goal. And, sometimes there are steps in between.

In this instance, the minimal goal is what’s I would have made a week at The Job. The ultimate goal is a little less than one and a half times that. This week, I made my minimal goal [And Then Some.] I made some of it with a metal haul and the rest was done with delivery driving. I could strive for more this week, and I might. But I do not have to stress it because I have met my minimal goal…And Then Some. Plus, I have had an abundant week beyond that. I was able to visit with a friend on 4/20. I was able to see all three of Sunshine’s games this week. I was able to take her to dinner and spend some alone time with her as I did with Cuddlebug a few weeks ago. I was also able to drive her back home after her game yesterday when she didn’t want to go with everyone else on their run. I was able to go see a show at The Theatre as well as as splurge on a dinner for myself. I was blessed with money that I did not know I had. I knew I was going to the show and I was concerned about what, if anything, I could afford to eat. Friday morning, I picked up my final pay stub at The Diner. I say pay stub because they take taxes out of your pay from your tips. So, as a server, you typically do not see any money in your paycheck. However, I had thirty-six dollars and some change. I figured that was more than enough to cover dinner. [Ask & It Is Given.] In fact, I spent just two dollars more than that on dinner that night. So, here I was, basically having a free meal. Plus, Brother John had treated me to a good breakfast. I figured I hadn’t spent anything on food all day. This was what allowed me to follow my inspiration for the tip. I tipped just over 50% of my bill. I left her $20. This is easily what I would have spent on meals for the day. [Besides, Live as if You Have it.] I was blessed and I tried to pass some of that blessing along.

It seems the delivery driving is the perfect job for me Right This Moment. It has given me the one thing I have been chasing for decades…well…the two things. Obviously, I have wanted to make money. This path is sufficient at the moment. As I said, I made my minimal goal and, truthfully, that was with minimal effort. But, it has also given me control of my life. I can work when I want as much as I want. More importantly, I can not work when I want – such as seeing the show, or having breakfast, or going to the games.

I am seeing this success between two driver apps. I am still learning to balance and utilize their strengths. Each functions a little different. Each has a very different pay scale [and system.] The more I do it, the better I get at it. I have found that once I start in a day, I do not stop until I choose to. No matter which app dings me first, it keeps me fairly steady for several hours. I do not often jump back and forth between them as some people do. I can work almost anytime I want. I have worked until 2230 and I have started as early as 0600. I can work peak hours or non-peak. I can work long stretches or I can break up the day. I can even work as little as an hour and a half, as I did yesterday when I was killing time before Sunshine’s game.

I have, forever, been searching for the perfect balance of time and money. Right this Moment, I have it. This is why this morning I am sitting and writing until I am done. After that, we will see what the rest of the day holds. I mean, I made my money and I have no other obligations. So write first, for that is an obligation, then see what happens next. I may go and try to drive or I may do nothing beyond preparing for tomorrow when I plan on driving hardcore. I am house-sitting next weekend, and therefore having The Princesses with me. So, the Goal is to have my monies in by Friday afternoon. I could pick up some work Saturday or Sunday if I have to…I just don’t want to have to.

I have been having particularly spiritual moments lately. Such as the sense of peace or connectedness. I find myself, very often, more aware of the whole of existence surrounding me. I have had more time for meditation and zenfulness, and I have gotten back to my devotions. Also, Dreamtime continues to be intense…and I have had a lot of it these days.

It’s interesting to me because I have not often been one to recall Dreamtime. I always know when I have had it, but I rarely can recall what happened. Lately, I have been able to return with snippets here and there. I commented n some last week. There were two this week that stand out to me.

Last night as I drifted off, shutting down for the day, I heard whispers. Someone was singing a song in my ear. The lyrics though I did not care for – “You’re not going to like it.” Over and over again in the most melodic tones. I am attached to it as I am the message, “You’re dying.”

The other moment was more visual. Again, I was laying down to shut off for the night. I saw a series of moments, images. It was a youth. I can only assume it was me, though it could have been something more generic just to make the point. The moments/images started flashing. [It reminded me sort of a flip book kind of effect.] They were working backwards in time until I was looking at a fetus. It was a large, up-close image. Then I traveled within it…into it’s mind. Deep within and I found myself facing a great light. Then it changed. It was but a ring of white light, tipped by pinkish/blueish light and blackness in the middle. Like an explosion. Then it imploded back in on itself. All in brilliant light.

I don’t know what any of it means. I never know what any of it means. I just take it as it comes and work with it the best I can. Usually, these things get filtered and filed into a drawer labeled, ‘When the time is right.’

There have been a couple other things that I wanted to touch on. One of them was from last week.

Last Saturday, I encountered Big ‘D’ at Sunshine’s game. It was an awkward moment for me. I had not expected to see her. I walked past her. She waved. I waved. That was it. I felt weird. I felt as though I should talk to her. But then the mind took over. “About what,” I thought. It’s true. We don’t really have anything to discuss. We never did. That was part of the problem. She could chat with me about things concerning The Princesses or the family in general. She could ask me how my job was [when I had one that she considered a job.] But we never discussed any other part of my life. For 20 years I lived in her house and she knows so very little of what my life was because she never wanted to talk about such things.

So what could we possibly talk about now?

Interestingly enough, just as I had resolved to go over and say something so that she wasn’t completely alone, I saw that Baby Mama had shown up and they were sitting, chatting and sharing donuts.

The other thing happened early this week. I had been on a food delivery. When I picked up at one restaurant, there were two bags on the pick-up table. Even though I had my customer’s bag I looked at the name on the second bag. I don’t know if it was me making sure I had everything or just idle curiosity. So, I looked…and there it was.

The Anomaly’s name.

Normally, this would strike me as random and unnecessary. However, her name has been coming up frequently of late. It happens every so often for a day or two. Everywhere I look there is her name. It actually started on The Tour – somewhere around Alabama, I believe. It happened for about two days and then nothing for like a week. Then it cycled through again. That is how it has gone since.

Only this time it was not just her first name. It was her whole name. So, my first thought was, “Damn glad I didn’t get that order.” Then I thought, “Maybe I should get the hell outa here in case she’s the one picking it up.” I did not encounter her. Yet, where did I find myself before the week was out? At The Theatre. Again, I did not encounter her, but she was there.

The Theatre as a whole was a strange experience. The Big Boss seemed pleased that I was there and Sir Richard Slouch was kind and engaging as always. Everyone else was a bit touch and go.

As always, I do not know what any of it means. Nor, am I attached to it. Right this Moment it is all irrelevant until sometime “when the time is right.”

Well, I think that is all for now. Another week over and a new one just begun.
