Take a deep breath and know you are safe in your faith. Whichever God or Gods you choose to follow. Believe it or not you can believe in yourself. Trust you have done everything you can to stay safe.
Passion Play
Know you can choose where to focus your attention. Doing simple abdominal breathing exercises will cause your pineal gland to release it’s own melatonin.
You do not need to buy it at the pharmacy and it will wear off as soon as the sunlight strikes your eyes.
This is a wonderful way to rest and replenish your core after expending energy.
Breathe deep into your abdomen and explore. How much do air can you fit in there?
Is that it? Are you sure there is no more room in your core for more air?
Yes, Your Extremities
Pull more through your nose and push air down your legs to your toes.
See how it goes.
Try again with your arms and hands and fingers.
You may be surprised how much air you can fit in there.
Your Brain And Body Thank You
Do this a few times and each time you exhale pull your abdominal wall in and expel all air.
Be gentle, no need to force yourself. Just explore what you can do.
The point of the exercise is to directly experience the breath in your body and explore how you feel or experience your inhales and exhales.
Stretching your abdominal walls signals to the brain the stomach is full and it’s time to relax.
Bonus Brain Chemistry
The act of focusing your attention on the breath expanding your abdomen creates a little seek, find and reward loop in your brain to get the pleasure chemicals dopamine and serotonin flowing naturally.
This is a double bonus because stretching your abdominal walls directly stimulates the Vagus nerve to release acetylcholine. (Vagus Stuff)
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter which acts a catalyst for other neurotransmitters.
It plays a large role in your body’s relaxation response. Cigarette smokers are looking for this each time they light up. Nicotine in tobacco products mimics acetylcholine and binds to the same receptors in the brain.
This can be useful to know when trying to quit. Your brain will need the real thing.
Do you remember when you first became you? My daughter described to me precisely the time when her inner narrator or consciousness appeared within their awareness.
I argue we were people with personalities long before we learned language to describe events. Often our thoughts can appear as pictures on the cavern walls of our minds.
In such a way, my cat could consciously deliberate his actions and wait until I left the room to gorge on the chicken bones I left in the trash.

Are You The Same Person Throughout Life?
Now I am approaching my sixth decade and I laugh at myself for still thinking I am the same person.
I see older people on the tour busses in Europe and think, look at all those geezers riding the bus!
I stop laughing when I see my reflection rolling past and looking at me on the same bus!
I still feel like that twelve year old kid i was when my inner narrator appeared on the scene.
Freedom, Religion and Biology
Most of my cells have changed, I have learned a lot from reading the thoughts of others in libraries around the world..
I still remember family telling me I was exactly like my uncle. My uncle suicided the year I was born. I am not sure how he could pass so much along. I never met him.
Personality does persist throughout the ages.
My daughter started out stead, strong, almost stoic. From the moment she could walk and talk, We all wondered.
When you harness great energy, it can be hard to slow your roll. When you get older and you are used to changing roles faster than you change your clothes. Abrupt stops can be painful. Both physically and psychically.
Interplanetary Forces
Independent people have difficulty letting go of control or worse, feeling someone else controls their destiny.
It can be in your nature to struggle and fight till the end, even when you forget the cause.
When do you let go and go with the flow?
William’s Signpost Checklist
William could not let go of the Momentum. Even though the Universe was hitting the brakes hard!
First day attempting to bicycle from Tende, France to Limone, Italy, William found the tunnel was closed on the only road to ride.
Did he stop? He traveled south and found crossings into Italy near Sospel and Menton, France. Bumping his nose like a mouse in a maze searching for cheese.
Sign, Sign Everywhere A Sign
If you feel as if the universe is trying to stop your progress with a new and unmistakable obstruction each day.
Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something. Take a break and listen. Remember your true intention.
Trust the universe has your back and will push, pull, nudge you in the right direction.
Fellow travelers of Europe love to offer travel tips . Not knowing I am a hueristic learner. Which means I learn best through experience. Often I need to experience the hard knocks to the head more than once to instill the memory.
The Train Is Not Always The Fastest Route
People encourage me to take the train. Repeating the familiar refrain, ” You could get there faster if you took the train.”.
I love to reply, “I am already here,” and point to the incredibly beautiful and magnificent mountains surrounding me in the Alps of Switzerland!
After a full 12 hours on the train in Italy last week, I am happy to be alive and striving for the mountain air to fill my lungs.
My Italian Grandmother
My Italian grandma used to say things like, If I never see another train station again, it will be too soon.
We all understand, Nona, We all understand. God bless her heart.
If I had prepared properly for Switzerland my trip would be over but once again my hard headed friends, I walked the countryside I have learned to love! The Hard way!
Switzerland does not allow you to transfer Swiss Francs to yourself in Switzerland through the Western Union app. If, you are in, Switzerland!
The Grift Marches On
This way SBB receives your Euros and offers you an awful rate you cannot refuse. Mainly because you are stuck in the train station in Locarno, Switzerland with no Francs and the ticket back to France costs twice as many Francs!
I soaked in the sun and my own sweat as I walked along the lakeside drive. Thunderstorms and lightning and high wind brought back memories of survival in the high plains of New Mexico.
Once again I remind myself to steer my mind gently back to the present moment.
Scientists clung to the principle the atom was still indivisible and aptly named long after the theory fell apart in the nuclear fission factories falling apart on our coastlines today.
Keep Your Distance From Spooky Cats
The good folks at CERN have been up to their necks in the atom smashing business so long they are getting ready to prove the photon is ready to be split open along with my brain if I spend one more sleepless night in the Alps-de-Provence trying to grasp at the straw men who preceded me.
The argument against manifestation is strong coming from the mouths of people who keep their feet firmly planted on the ground.
I am still amazed early Quantum physics was pulled straignt from the imaginations of scientests who had their heads in the clouds!
Enstein and other great thinkers used thought experiments to ponder theories that humans accepted as a general rule for years.
Much of the grunt work was done with pen and paper in the classroom with scientests predicting what would be seen in telescopes yet to be built;
Light Speeding Tickets
We have been separating photons and shooting them out one at a time as particles and the photons hold true to their word as a matter of fact, they will behave as ordinary matter.
The mind bending fact of the matter is scientists are turning old hats on their heads and bending the waves of light instead.
I think this time Science will break that light wave in half and we will be waving at ourselves from another dimension.

Faster Than The Speed Of Sleight Of Hand
The tricky part was to be tricky as well as fast and ask a light wave to slow down and look at itself in the mirror. Flattery will get you everywhere. As the light wave admires itself the scientists pull the mirror away and reveal the reflection of the wave has been split in two!
Does this mean the end of the indivisible photon?
If they split the wave did they indeed split the photon particle?
They are both one and the same but never at the same time.
flip particle mind
flip wave soul
Where To Next?
Are we going to break the rules and precisely measure position and speed of light at the same time?
Is the instantaneous transfer of information between two entangled particles, or Einstein’s, “Spooky action at a distance”, really just a form of communication too small for us to see that also moves faster than the speed of light?
