From the mind of Alzheimer’s

From the mind of Alzheimer’s

An extended family member of a friend of mine, years ago developed Alzheimer’s. Jewel was her name, and perfectly symbolic for a part of who she was. Before I knew of Jewel, her family for some time had been caring for her with the disease. Though at times she was still lucid, much of her time was spent either oblivious to present life or outraged. I have been mystified by this disease for years and had sought without much luck in connecting to a person with Alzheimer’s disease. 

After the family agreed for me to work with Jewel and connect with her energy, my request was to connect with the energy in a space she was at the time. I could see a grand ballroom from decades past, white tablecloths and a rose on each table in a vase. As the band played on stage, Jewel and two other women were having the time of their lives. Full of joy, dancing and being young – probably their early twenties with the scene of the ballroom being so complete in her life. I watched, as the Jewel of the present was more in a period of looking more empty than full of life. Seeing where she was compared to where the family now perceived, changed my impression of Alzheimer’s and how it affects the person/mind/life of the present.
Following seeing Jewel in her ballroom, I spoke to the family and found out Jewel at that age was very much a ballroom dancer and the two other women were identified as friends in her life. Following that time in her life Jewel - married into decades of being unhappy in life. The ballrooms of the past never returned to her in life in the choices she made. 

Connecting to Jewel only solidified in my own mind that a person with the disease is a traveler of the mind, yet without a full capacity of returning to the present. Very much alive, yet gone to the observer now. Broken circuitry and the highways of the mind now lacking known routes or pathways to access, yet on some level desires becomes very much a sensor in what is acted out upon in the present. Jewel, chose one day to no longer eat or drink, regardless of how the family tried – she refused. Medical intervention was sought, though they declined to physically maintain her body with nutrients and fluid for her to exist and Jewell said goodbye to this world. 

Did she make a choice to say goodbye from the ballroom or the present? On the other hand, in the world of the Alzheimer’s mind – is the traveling so extensive without being inhibited such as in dreaming, all sides are seen without fear. I do believe energy work with the Alzheimer’s mind is beneficial in catching those glimpses of the ballroom or pathways, which in the present are left to being thought of as a mind lost. As dreamers or travelers, their minds are still active and entertaining life within a consciousness, which cannot truly be evaluated in medicine alone. Our futures and liaison between the medical/spiritual/energy worker communities will become closer and just maybe the travelers will have more stories to tell – which for now are left to be seen as mindless activity in the Alzheimer’s mind.

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.

Spiritual Windows – My perception

-
Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin
