Misreading of the day

I misread the headlines "Earthquake rocks Pacific nations" and "Pakistan Team fly out of Jamaica" as "Peacocks fly out of Jamaica"


The actual events that led to the original two headlines don't interest me at all, but the content of my misreading does.

Passing words

wmmvrrvrrmm [4:13 AM PST]: I've heard the news reports on TV and read the rumours in the magazines and newspapers that I'm going to have a haircut today
wmmvrrvrrmm [4:15 AM PST]: occult secret societies have been communicating this information also in the form of secret hand gestures while in the streets
wmmvrrvrrmm [4:16 AM PST]: it's listed in 17 different people's psychiatric reports where and when I will have my haircut and by who's scissors
wmmvrrvrrmm [4:17 AM PST]: I don't wish to go as far as to put forth the idea that this information about my haircut will mean anything to the members of Al-Qaida
mcpeer3 [4:23 AM PST]: yoyoyo
wmmvrrvrrmm [5:04 AM PST]: but someone in the American Government might find every reason to see it as an encoded command to go and kill another three thousand innocent people and destroy a few buildings and aeroplanes
wmmvrrvrrmm [5:05 AM PST]: and carry out the orders successfully

The revival of the dying tree

Zeitgeist in Cinema 

1. In 2006, the dying tree came to the big screen in two seperate movie, Del Toro's Pan's Labyrinth and  Aronofsky's The Fountain. Both lead characters fought to revive a near dead tree stump.
2. In Pan's Labyrinth, a giant toad is sucking the life out of a fig tree and it becomes the girls task to kill the creature.
3. In The Fountain, astronaut Tommy, in 2500, is travelling  in a spaceship made of an enclosed biosphere containing the Tree of Life that somehow represents his wife, that he is taking to Xibalba to restore it to life.
4. N.B. This page was written on the night of 2nd September 2013, and the following day my father offered me a fresh fig, the first fresh fig I have ever had since 1977 when I picked one off a tree in Ibiza

Synchronistic Manifestion of a party for myself to enjoy.

•  Okay, earlier this week, I heard about a party that would take place this night of Friday in another part of the country, held by someone who I liked, a lady nicknamed Freddy but had not seen in a long time, and I liked the friends who I knew her through who would be there too, I was a little upset because I am still experiencing the belief that I don't know how to teleport and that it would be costly and tiring to take a train and pay for a hotel room in the village there.

• So, as soon as i realised my yearning, I asked the cosmos to give me the experience of going to a party that I would like to go to and where I would find people that I liked the company of, and well there are not too many opportunities for that in my version of a reality. When I put the order out to the cosmos, I was really confused as to what could pop out of the blue.

• So, I have a local friend named Hup and his birthday was back on the 26th of last month, as far as I was concerned he should have already have celebrated it near to his birthday as usual, but he was trying to get a party together and something wasn't going quite as well as planned, and usually when he gets together the people he wants for a party, there is usually no room for me to come along, I'm usually in his top 24 people that he could invite rather than his top twelve, because a usual 12 gather a lot together anyway and I accept that without feeling bitter about being left out. So it happened that he decided to have a party this very evening as well which is somewhat late as a birthday party, gathering together a small group of friends at short notice, he asked more people but very few could make the time for it, I was only invited yesterday, and since most of my evenings are empty of events I was available. It turned out to be a party that I enjoyed and I liked all the people who I sat in the restaurant with, I loved the restaurant and the food, and I'm still amazed that it happened on the same evening of the party that I missed! So I got just what wanted as a party experience for me! Hup himself understood the puzzling wonder about his party manifesting for my desire

• So it has given me a confidence to further explore perhaps the language of manifesting things I want without expectations getting in the way. There were various way that the wish that I wanted to happen could have manifested itself into being and also be perfect.

• So, earlier that day i had to buy a birthday card for my friend Hup, i got into the card shop and well, I didn't like any of the birthday cards and instead I bought him a sympathy card, which is a card for people in times of sorrow, and I would congratulate him on existing for another year. When I payed for it, the woman behind the counter suddenly ripped the receipt from the cash register and it ripped in half. When she realised what she had done, she repeatedly uttered woefully cries of "sorry" as if a major travesty had occurred in my life, this confused me but then I told her that I would be in tears all day because of that ripped receipt, but it seemed as if my humour was lost on her as the end of the world came to her in the form of accidently ripping the receipt in half. I imagine that the sorrow she expressed to me may well have been equal to the sorrow being carried across in my purchase of a sympathy card for the birthday celebration of my friend Hup! Hup appreciated the sentiment and the emotion expressed in my card message!

Passing words

wmmvrrvrrmm [1:57 PM PST]: I keep imagining doing disco dancing in a box that is only three feet wide
wmmvrrvrrmm [1:57 PM PST]: and five feet high
wmmvrrvrrmm [1:58 PM PST]: and that someone is congratulating me on my improvisation
wmmvrrvrrmm [1:58 PM PST]: and it was okay if my elbows knocked holes in the walls of the box
wmmvrrvrrmm [2:01 PM PST]: as long as I didn't dent the top of the box with my head

The Holiday

Okay, well, on the 18th, I had just come back from Hungary because my father had bought a holiday home there and we stayed there for two and a half weeks. I didn't do too much there at all really, so finding something interesting to say about my experience there, other than the beauty of the house was not entirely easy for me.

The most interesting thing that occurred.

1. The Hunt for a universal electrical plug adapter

• Well, when we got there, my father said that the universal plug adapter that we sent him the previous time he was there did not work. I wondered what kind of plug system this country had if the plug adapters that we sent him with did not work at all, and he was unable to say, and to some degree he was contributing to the illusion that Hungary had a plug system of it's own, individual to the country and electrical goods from other countries could not be used here unless you change the plugs on them completely. I tried fitting my two pin shaving plug into the plug socket and it seemed as if it did not fit. Anyway I had no way to recharge my iPod and no way to recharge my mobile phone, so something had to be done about it.

• My father, my mother and I the next day took the car around to the various shopping places, first of all an electrical shop in a shopping arcade, and they told us that they didn't sell universal adapters around there, and we were unlikely to find them, but we could try the computer shop upstairs. So we did, I didn't think we were in luck, the owner of the shop said we were unlikely to buy a universal adapter around here but he did get a British adapter with a computer he once bought and he might still have it around at home, and we could come back next week to see if he had found it.

• Well, we went along to the InterSpar supermarket, and I found there a peg where universal adapters were normally placed when sold, it had the label on it, and what happened of course was, they were out of stock, but we could perhaps come back next week and try, but nothing was certain. As it went, he recommended that we try the shop that dealt with photograph development, and well it also dealt with computers and this was to be found in the entrance hall of this large shop. We got to the place just in front of the cash tills, and discovered that the shop was completely empty, maybe it had never opened yet or it was being refurbished and we wondered how the man working in the supermarket could not have known this.

• My father had the bright idea of actually checking with a shop where he bought a television for the new home, and so they didn't have a universal adapter and they sent him to another shop elsewhere and there my father actually bought one. We were surprised and it wasn't cheap either.

• The Blowing Of a Fuse: That night I recharged my iPod, and by the following morning, the fuse in the adaptor had blown.

• Manifestation of Peace through my iPod: That day, I had requested peace within and around me in my meditation and later that day, while on the train to the city of Budapest, I turned on the iPod in order to listen to some music and then the thing suddenly shut down for about three minutes and then turned on again the MP3 track list on my iPod had erased itself completely not enabling me to access the tracks on my iPod at all, although they were still there locked away in the hard disk, but the iPod simply didn't register the fact that they were there. So in relation to my desire to listen to my iPod and live my holiday around that, I had peace from that.

• The Hunt For An Electrical Fuse: The following day we looked for another fuse, and we tried a hardware shop, and they didn't have any or they didn't have the right one. The next morning I realised that my electric shaver was running down and there was no more power for another shave. My father told me that I could just fit the plug into the plug socket, well I tried that before and it didn't fit properly and also he noted that the universal plug adaptors that we sent him with some months earlier didn't work either. Actually these did fit in when you gave them a push fearlessly, I suppose they relied on being flexible a little, but this wasn't like the British 3 pin adaptor where you fitted it in, and I thought of the possibility of the two pin plug breaking easily, especially since through childhood, I have had a track record of breaking many many things, so I fear it unwise to try out anything technical when it came to belonging to anyone else, such as my father.

• So the shaver plug fitted, and it turned out that the plug sockets that they had were not special to Hungary alone, but were just like the rest of the European mainland.

• My father went back to the electrical shop where be bought the adapter from and they sent him onto a shop somewhere around the corner half a mile, and there they had a fuse, it was the same type fuse generally, but not of the right length, and we didn't know if the plug adapter had space for a fuse of only one length or more. But when we got home, it fitted, and that was that. But well, if you visit the Lake Balaton area, make sure that you come prepared with a universal plug adapter.

• The Ending: Several days later, we by chance found an electrical shop that specialised in fuses that was about a couple of dozen kilometres away from our home. Once I got back to England and connected my iPod to the computer, the track list was restored and it has been working beautifully ever since.

Synchronistic Manifestion of Julie Andrews theme

Yesterday in a chatroom, someone mentioned the title of a film called "Silent Hill", then another person mentioned the film title "The Hills Have Eyes", then I mentioned the idea that I was going to run off and sing "The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of Music" and then I exclaimed the name "JULIE ANDREWS!" in the same chat room. Today while listening to The Power Hour radio show which I have not listened to all week, there was a woman doing an impression of Julie Andrews in a commercial where they made a reference to the idea about how "a spoonfull of sugar makes the medicine go down" which is a song from Mary Poppins. I suppose that Julie Andrews has something to express in the collective consciousness these days

A happy JULIE ANDREWS to all!
