Time

They say time waits for nothing and that everything will take its time. But I say time is the ultimate illusion. Things that exist have always existed, maybe just in a different form. Therefore, anything that is meant to be already IS...maybe just a little further down the path. Im thankful that I understand this because its makes me a lot less anxious. Im very excited about what is taking place in my life!!

I've been working even harder to understand the world we live in, as well as the universe we are apart of. I would hate to die and realize everything i held as truth was completely false. Its amazing how much we humans think we know...when in actuality we know VERY little of the grand scheme of things. I wonder if its even possible for us to know EVERYthing. My brain hurts just thinking about that...ouch!

My Aha! Moment

 Most people have heard of Oprah's terminology, an Aha! Moment. According to her it is “unforgettable, connect-the-dots moments, when everything suddenly, somehow changed.”  I had this life-changing, world-shifting, moment last night (July 31, 2010) while reading the words of a woman I will now never forget..Erika Harris. Her site http://www.joyful-work-for-sensitive-people.com/ explained a large facet of my being that I had never quite been able to explain and label.  I know now without a shadow of a doubt that I am a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). From the research of Elaine Aron the world was introduced to ground-breaking scientific evidence that 20% of the population are born with a highly sensitive nervous system. This has many consequences both good and bad for that person.  But the biggest concept of a HSP that I most identify with is the sensitivity of other peoples feelings and energy. I often find myself weighed down by other peoples problems....most often when they haven't even verbalized them to me.  HSP's are very very thoughtful people who often find themselves trapped in a spiral of thinking too much...and I definitely do that.  I cannot express how absolutely amazing it feels to learn more of who I am...and why I am the way i am. As Ericka so brillantly put it "I'm not crazy. Its my grotesque habitat that is crazy." 

In this video, Elaine Aron explains, briefly, what a Highly Sensitive Person is:
