Family Politics and Drama

I was recently telling someone that Hubby and I don’t do or tolerate family politics and drama – relative or not.

We each have various family units – whether we consciously think of them as that or not – our energy certainly does.

A family can be (but isn’t limited to):

  • Nuclear Family
    A couple and their dependent children. For me, I include pet, as they are part of the family unit.

  • Immediate Family
    There are different definitions for Immediate Family and Extended Family. For the purpose of this article, I am defining Immediate Family as including the Nuclear Family, parents and siblings.

  • Extended Family
    Those who are one household beyond the Nuclear Family (and can include Immediate Family) such as aunts, uncles, grandparents.

Other Families

We also have the following families. You may disagree with my interpretation (and that’s fine), but I think if you look at it objectively and energetically, you’ll probably see it.

  • Work/Office Family
  • Each In-Person Social Group
  • Each Interest Group (hobbies, etc.)
  • Each Online Group
  • Online Friends

And then we can have:

  • Neighborhood Family
  • City/Town Family
  • State Family
  • Country Family

But don’t forget the:

  • Actual political association family
  • The Human Being Family
  • The Inhabitants of Earth Family (including all non-human inhabitants)

And these are just a few of the families we are connected to.

Each family has its own politics. By that I mean each family unit probably has a...Read More

Grand Illusion

As we become more awakened, we realize that we have to work to release the 3D illusions that we’ve held on to for pretty much our whole life as an immersed human. Trouble is, what are the illusions? How do we release them? If we release them, then what? These questions, and others we may pile on top of those questions, is when we may begin to feel a bit panicky.

Illusions

Let’s start with illusions. EVERYTHING is an illusion.

Have you ever been to, or seen, a movie set? Most buildings are a facade. They only have the front of the building. It’s a movie mask, an illusion, and has nothing backing it up except our willingness to believe it has depth and substance.

Did you get that? “... has nothing backing it up except our willingness to believe it has depth and substance.”

It is our beliefs that keep the facades active. Once you stop believing – or to use the Wizard of Oz example – you pull back the curtain and discover it’s just a grand illusion – then you can move on to discovering what’s real.

But, there’s a catch...Read More

Die Handlung ist in Berlin, Spätherbst 1941 angesiedelt. Der leidenschaftliche Flieger General Harras arbeitet für die Nationalsozialisten, obwohl er deren Standpunkte und Taten verachtet und dies auch öffentlich kundtut. Anwerbungsversuchen der NSDAP widersteht er. Als sich Unfälle durch Materialfehler häufen, gerät Harras als Verantwortlicher für Flugzeugbau immer mehr unter Druck. Schließlich hat auch sein Freund Eilers einen tödlichen Unfall. Nach vierzehntägiger Haft und Verhören durch die Staatspolizei erhält Harras zehn Tage Frist, um die Vorfälle aufzuklären und sich selbst zu rehabilitieren. Am letzten Tag deckt er eine Sabotage-Aktion des Widerstands an einem neu entwickelten Flugzeugtyp auf, in die auch sein bester Freund Oderbruch verwickelt ist. Um ihn und seine anderen Mitarbeiter zu schützen, übernimmt Harras die alleinige Verantwortung. Obwohl von Oderbruch dazu gedrängt, lehnt er eine Flucht ab. Er besteigt eine der sabotierten Maschinen und fliegt in den Tod.

Tales from the Loop (TV-Series)

Image/photo

The townspeople who live above "The Loop," a machine built to unlock and explore the mysteries of the universe, experience things previously consigned to the realm of science fiction.

My-oh-my such a wonderful production. Lovely setting and story telling. Now, this is a slow paced tv-series so you got to make time for it. If you do you'll be well rewarded. Here you get cool inventive science fiction flicks woven into a calm everyday life tales of people. It is a thoughtful tv-series, full of feelings. Each episode is unique, different theme and sci-fi influence, yet all episodes weave together. A gem for sure.

I just watched #CharlieChaplin in #TheGreatDictator for the first time. It was a film way ahead of its time. The last speech is a master stroke and so here it is in full for your edification.

I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor. That’s not my business. I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness - not by each other’s misery. We don’t want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.

Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.

To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish…

Soldiers! don’t give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You don’t hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!

In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.

Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!

Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!
