Another vulture drops out of warp
Landing clumsily

Picks pretentiously at the carcass of

Another moviestar 

Stripped down to the bones

Yet this journalist 

Hones in on one last speck

Gets an article out of it

Celestial Chess

It was not my will to live or to die. So whose will am I?

Since my will is neither here nor there,
And I know not what I'm doing here,
I am the will of some other force,
Set upon its chosen course.

Since I have no say,
In the coming of the night
Or the passing of the day,
I am just a pawn, in a game of celestial chess,
Whose beginning and end I cannot guess.

I can only embrace the life I am given,
And wonder where from death I shall be driven.

10 simple ways to move into more freedom, peace, knowledge

As I was writing these 10 tips I remembered that I had done a post like this before and I looked it up and it just happens that I wrote that post on exactly this day in 2012!

So exactly 4 years ago I wrote a similar post to this (10 simple calming tips for the shift) ...made me quite happy and look how far we have all come...truly amazing!

Here are the new 10 tips in no particular order:

1) Stop watching television! Stop the programming and mind-control of the mainstream media and fake celebrity. Protect your mind from the garbage. Use youtube or streaming instead.

2) Eat organic food; is better for nature, environment, animals, your body and it tastes better too.

3) Get at least one houseplant; learn to take care of something that's alive. Plants naturally detox homes and living spaces, relax you and they communicate with you too. Tune into nature.

4) Cancel all subscriptions to newspapers, magazines and other print media; we have the internet now; stop the clutter and waste. These are all forms of programming and use up resources and money, do you even read them?

5) Use supplements like Spirulina and Turmeric to detox the body of heavy metals and other toxins, there are hundreds of healing plants, get knowledgable on the foods that heal.

6) Never go to McDonalds, Burger King or any of these fast food places again, extremely low vibrations and toxic to body, mind and soul.

7) Turn off the wifi before you go to sleep. Wifi interferes with dreams and restoration, holds u in a lower programmed state. Research this.

8) Buy some gold and silver and use cash, just as a way of not complying 100% with the system and as an investment.

9) Develop a spiritual practise; meditation, reiki, yoga, prayer or anything that helps you to connect to your higher self and the truth vibrations. The benefits are endless.

10) Donate energy, be of service to others; you could donate money or your time, giving = receiving, just try it, you will see.

Can you think of any good tips for the freedom timelines? Add them below in the comments...

Easy Poem (2007)

I like what is happening - a wet painting

this body - breathing strangers

oversleeping - a haze and smile to things

faces gift - seductions glow restless

and I cried today - easily

I go where words are - no shortage felt

Conspiracy Theories (so many of which have become fact)

This past year I have had many discussions and conversations with friends and watched various docu's and googlevids about conspiracy theories. During that time I discovered that one of my neighbours was a freemason and a member of the Amsterdam lodge, a friend pointed out chem-trails to me, I learned about the power of mass mind-control and all about the fear-mongery of the dark forces of the world. Quite sensational and enthralling I assure you and worth taking into consideration too but all rather hopeless and gloomy aswell.
It's all "mind" as far as I am concerned and a means of distracting you from the truth and immobilizing you with fear.
The following text is from The Shattered Realm blog and it sums up my thoughts on the subject perfectly. Read the whole post now here: Conspiracy Theories

...By Afagddu
Whatever the nature of a Conspiracy Theorist’s faith, whether based on the belief that the world is run by lizards from another planet; that the pure-bred, Aryan descendants of the Europids are held hostage in an underground network beneath China; that an unholy alliance of Freemasons and Satanists are sacrificing 13% of American newborn baby boys to Elvis; that the American Government and the Catholic Church are locked in a bitter struggle over the ownership of the Holy Grail (which the Americans tried to cover up by catapulting gliders into some of the buildings where it could have been kept, thus foiling a raid to free it by John Dillinger and the Secret Masters of Tibet in the eleventh hour); or whether it is any one of the numerous other countless, less spectacular - but still unbelievable - conspiracy theories that abound, they all have a few things in common.

• They’re the product of Paranoid thought.
• They have a thick air of delusion woven about them.
• They appeal to a sense of fantasy.
• They are usually connected in some way to a hatred of the traditional enemies of Christian (more specifically Protestant) society. Be they the Illuminati, the Jews, Freemasons, Satanists, Catholics or anyone else other than those who could really be responsible for some of the events attributed to them.
• Those interested in them are often far removed from the events in question, which in reality will only have a minimal or distant effect on their lives. Opinions will have largely been shaped by the media, whether mainstream or underground .
• The accused rarely take the accusations seriously. Buckingham Palace has yet to issue a statement in response to David Icke’s claim that Queen Elizabeth II is a lizard. Scientific or historical data is often deliberately skewed by the leaders and formative members of such movements and attempts to correct their data by the better qualified is refuted or ignored. Margaret Murray’s deliberate doctoring of trial data relating to the supposed ‘burning times’ and the formative mass belief of the made-up accounts of 19th Century ‘historian’ Lamothe-Langon for instance, led to an entire generation of Wiccans forming opinions about the history of religion, tradition and Initiation that are completely laughable to anyone who studies such things objectively.
• They favour the over-complex and under-realistic over good sense and applying Occam’s Razor.
• Their adherents all believe that they are indefatigably right about their chosen cause. Yet how can every single conspiracy theory possibly be true?
• They’re never about good or pleasant things. Like certain elements of the media, those who form and deliberately propagate Conspiracy Theories magnify their attention on sensationalist, horrific or ‘evil’ phenomena.
• They manipulate evidence and fabricate information as a means of creating scare tactics to assume psychological or ‘memetic’ control over people.
• They're in the same category, memetically speaking, as chain letters and urban legends.
• They’re all bullshit.

I dislike Conspiracy Theories for the same reasons that I dislike any other single-issue cause or pressure group; they tend to require a blinkered, limited, biased view that becomes unshakable leading to a devotion equitable to that of any religious cult.

None of this means that people shouldn’t doubt ‘official’ versions of events, which are also usually biased to a specific agenda. To question things and to wonder – or even doubt - whether we are being told the truth by politicians and the state are natural things for an intelligent and inquisitive mind to do. But to assume the polar opposite must be true to any statement that you don’t quite agree with is unhealthy, as is allowing fantasy and paranoia to assume too large a grip over one’s views and opinions.

Tears of Humanity

Yaggi from Finland recently posted a piece of my writing on his web-log: Tears of Humanity. Read his post on 'The Middle Road' here.

I look forward to reading more of this blog.

500

This is post 500 after more than a year on blogger.

See nothing but what lies before you, feel nothing but this present spirit. Be a vessel, carry this freedom. Be in peace, consume no evil. Find your shelter, welcome others. Take your time… and pass it away. ( by wastedwalrus on Bluelight)

Thanks to everyone who has visited the blog, added comments, given support and helped me through this last year. I have enjoyed this creative experience. the inspiration and the entertainment and most of all the interaction with myself and others. Peace.

It takes time to assimilate the theories, to sort out the wisdom from the brainwash. Without patience I'd cast pearls before swine, they listen, often eager to point out the mistakes I've made but they seldom encourage and approve. They tell me of things (material things) that I might lose. I am alive from now on.

It takes time to learn, death can take so long, purification can be so bitter. I can promise you I'm getting wise but I won't speak of it no more. We don't communicate with sounds, we don't scan apparel, we don't despise poverty, after all we are poor and we were blind. We are a new generation, we learn from them; the brotherhood of light, seeking to find.

One life with each other, my sisters and my brothers. One life but we're not the same - we get to carry each other. We carry each other. One love.

You may have noticed a sharp decline in posting frequency here on Brow of Calm and because of new projects, change in lifestyle and me moving to Amsterdam I will not be posting here very often in the coming weeks. I will get back to frequent blogging soon and I will post occasionally, this post is just to let the regulars know whats going on.

Peace and thankyou to all those that visit, enjoy and inspire.

Take your medicine crazypants

Welcome to America.

Are you feeling a little depressed? Here’s a prescription for Paxil.

A little anxious over your first day at the new job? Pop a xanax.

Having trouble concentrating at work? Have an adderall.

We like fast fixes here, don’t we? We like to blow every negative thought, feeling and ailment out of proportion until we have ourselves convinced we’re a schizophrenic psychopath. What ever happened to good, old fashioned positive thinking and soul-searching?

Read this post: Take your medicine crazypants from the blog: Journey to self-improvement.

I was impressed by this post, not only because of the reality check (nation on medication) and the truth in these honest words but also because of the relevance, I have read alot of information, reports and experiences about medication and the effects on development and functioning and the negative aspects of prescription drugs. The comments on this post are also worth reading.
