Movies & More

Two days ago, we were watching a movie while our evening meal was getting cooked in the oven. When the sound of the timer buzzed in the kitchen, telling us that the food is ready, a character in the movie we watched said, "Sit down, we'll have dinner."

So I took out the meal out of the oven and we did - sat down and had dinner.

That was some of the synchronicities that have often happened to us.

A few more TV related examples? Here they are:

✮ Once we watched a horror. Well, rarely we do. After that, we switched off the TV set, and I turned the radio on. The first words that we heard were "You just can't kill the beast." It was the "Hotel California" song going on quite coincidently. 

✮ It was an old movie telling the story about Fatima and the Holy Mary appearances there. At some point the crowd in the show was shouting, "Give us a sign, give us a sign!" They gathered at the place where Holy Mary had made herself visible to the 3 children. At the moment when they finished shouting their "give us a sign", a thunder struck behind our window. We were stunned as the skies were perfectly clear on that day.

✮ One day, I looked up the meaning of an old English word which is very rarely used in the spoken language these days. Later, we watched a randomly chosen movie. One of the very first words said in that movie was the one I had looked up on that day.

I could go on and on with that - on my husband's birthday - a randomly chosen movie again - in the very beginning of it, the characters sang "Happy Birthday" to one of the persons in the plot.

Well, does it ever happen to you?

Travel Well

Ozzy has left this world recently. Sad that more and more old cultural "icons" go away.
Travel well Ozzy. 
Thank you for the music.

From my visit in Birmingham, years ago.

🎕

Today I have found out - totally by chance - about another passing. The lady was not a famous one, but of importance as well - to the ones who knew and loved her. 

Ola lived with her nuclear family in Germany. I met her virtually in a Polish Ladies Abroad Club. We exchanged letters for quite a good time. No, we never met personally, but I thought about her as a friend. I always enjoyed Ola's letters and learning about her world and her family. She had mentioned a few times she was struggling dealing with health problems, but never mentioned how serious the matter was. Despite it all, the lady enjoyed doing walks to a German Camino-type place and travelling to exotic countries. 

When I read in her last letter how active she had been in that past year, and about more trips and travels she planned, I was hoping she was improving and her health condition got better.

Today, her funeral service took place in Poland.

Travel well friend.

I am glad to have met you.

Singing and Frequencies

 A few weeks ago, we watched a podcast-type show hosted by two of our favorite personalities. The third participant of the talk was a Mr. C., professional singer and theater actor, whose singing (as it was mentioned in that interview) had cured many listeners. I was curious about it. At some point, after a short presentation of Mr. C. and his career, the man was asked to sing and present his healing voice abilities. 

Yes, it was powerful indeed. The vibration of the sound created by the Mr. C's vocal cords was quite strong. However, my body found it very unpleasant, the least to say. With all the appreciation of Mr. C's talent, the sound frequency he produced felt to me like a very disturbing disharmony attacking my body/frequency zone. It all made me feel like running away from the source of that distressing vibration. I did stay in my place, though because I wanted to watch the show. According to what the hosts of the program said - they found the singing very pleasant. I did not. Perhaps, I was the only person watching the show who had such a bad impression about it? I do not know/do not know why. Later, when I went to sleep, nightmares about singing vampires who were trying to get me/I was fighting them, bothered me all night long.

After waking up, while recovering after the disturbing dreams, I reminded myself what Mr. C. said. He mentioned that he does not do his healing-type singing uninvited, and that he seeks sad persons. Well, I am not one of them. Maybe that was a reason why the sounds the singer created felt to me so very disharmonious?

Coming back to those nightmares - the vampires did not get me. I found a yellow, metal tape that helped me fight them. A curious thing was - the tape activated itself only when the vampires started singing. 

It is said those creatures cannot harm you if you do not invite them in - I did not. They just happened to be at the bed-and-breakfast place where I stayed for a night.

On the whole, I would not want to experience that type of vibration/frequency (as the one mentioned above) again. However, it is good that some people find it therapeutic. What resonates with others does not have to resonate with me.

Fort McKavett

Fort McKavett, built 150 years ago, is one of the most preserved military posts from the old days.

It was quite windy there on the day when we visited the site, and no other visitors besides us.

We were paid our solder's salary - the "money" came from the old safe box.

We spent part of our earnings in the casino. It was interesting to play the Faro game and break the bank, as well. I guess, I have played it in my previous life. The game dates back to 17th century, so who knows...

As you can see in one of the above photos, we spent our winnings at an inn, despite the innkeeper's effort - he tried to convert us to follow the temperance movement and even sang us a proper song.

Finally, we gave him all our casino money and kept on sightseeing.

While visiting the site, we came across an arrowhead diary. Do you know that some arrowheads, spearheads, and knives found in the Hill Country area date back even up to 7,500 - 10,000 BC. It is hard to comprehend how old some of them are.

It was quite sad that we were the only visitors at the place. You need to make a special effort to get there - it is situated rather far from a main road, nearest town.

Universe is Talking

A couple of days ago, my husband mentioned to me (as he had seen on the news) that soon a new incarnation of Dalai Lama would be searched for. 

On the following day, I saved a random movie for us to watch. I did not have the faintest idea what the film was about - I saved it because the name of the director - Martin Scorsese. Most of his movies were good so I thought it could be an interesting show to see.

Yesterday, we watched the movie. It appeared to be a story of a child found by a Tibetan monk and recognized as a next incarnation of Dalai Lama. We thought, "How funny", considering the synchronicity - we had just talked about that search for another Dalai Lama. 

The movie was actually a kind of biography. While watching it, we realized it was telling about the early years of the current Dalai Lama.

It became even funnier later, after we fished watching the show. My husband looked at the news again - and then, to our surprise and astonishment, there it was - an article about Dalai Lama's 90th birthday. How weird and extraordinary! Considering geography and the time difference between places, at the time when we were watching Kundun waiting for his 18th birthday and the time when he was officially appointed as the 14th Dalai Lama, the same Holy Man celebrated his 90th birthday.

I wish we could synchronize so well with the lotto numbers. Somehow, it does not work in that way, though.

Happy Birthday to Dalai Lama 💮

The movie mentioned above: "Kundun" by Martin Scorcese.

About Angels

My aunt once told me, "Angels do not exist because we cannot see them." 

She was then influenced by a religious group that shares such a view.

I replied, "We cannot see bacteria, but it does not mean they do not exist."

The relative of mine continued, "We have microscopes to see them."

I answered her, "There were times when people did not have microscopes, but it did not mean there were no bacteria then."

Not everything can be seen. We cannot see the electric current, but we can see its presence when we turn on the light. We cannot see the air, but we know it exists since we are able to breath.

From our last family-and-food-trip

Nowadays, with the development of quantum physics, the concepts of parallel worlds, non-linear timeline (past, present, and future happening at the same time), it appears there is much more than our eyes can see. So, do not tell me there are no angels. 

Although, they might not be the angelic type of entities as we traditionally understand them. Perhaps, they are beings from another planet, a parallel world, another time line, and (certainly) of another frequency than ours. 

Anyhow, please, do not tell me there are no angels.

Let us seek knowledge in all forms. Let us try to see matters from various perspectives and consider more than one point of view.
