Ironies of time

-
Last night even though I did not truly need my phone alarm, I left it on rather than change the settings. Chelah my cat, woke me up during the night so I picked up the phone to check the time - 2:03 A:M. Alarm was set for 5 A:M, so I put the phone down and went back to sleep. Later on I woke up and expected to see the time as around 5:00 as my mind usually wakes me up just prior to 5 on most mornings. Once again checked the phone and now the time was reading 2:06 A:M even though I had slept quite awhile.Put the phone back down really not worrying if for some reason the phone was not working properly. 5:00 A:M the alarm did go off right as programmed in the settings.This is not the first time - time itself has been recorded as either almost standing still or in one case, waking up prior to the time I went to sleep, with a handful of times over the last decade of seeing this happen it becomes less of an oddity and just a sign repeated that time is no more than our way in this world of seeing our existence process the days and years of our lives.

Time is an illusion we accept as fact in moving through our lives, does it exist realistically? How would we know one day from another if it was not for time being present to record a change? In what we see as the truth of the spiritual universe, time as we know it does not exist.My brother one day many decades ago, used the passage of "a thousand years is but a day" and calculated how fast our time recorded in relation to the passage. His thoughts after doing so were "no wonder people would not miss you when you pass from this world - time would be a flash in comparison between Earth and Heaven".

In the writing I created called "Don't Call Me Bob" my stepfather 15 years after passing was without any knowledge of time since his passing.Time is both ironic and yet an enigma that passes as life with little thought given of how calculations are determined. In a sleep state or dreaming, is time in that space without the calculation of time? If a dream takes you through a period of time elsewhere - just possibly you stepped out of Earth time and into a time frame unaware to your conscious mind.Chances are when you sleep this day, your alarm will wake you for another day - how long you actually slept, time only knows.

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
