This week this person kept coming up this week (1/25/19).
So, I will share what I know and you can see how it dovetsils with everything else. Who was Alexander The Great and why is he important? The Wikipedia Summary Alexander the Great was the King of Macedonia. Yeah, Macedonia doesn't mean anything to me either. Strangely, this topic is in the News. A state in Northern Greece wants to be called Macedonia but that identity invokes the identity of Alexander the Great's kingdom and may lead to territory disputes. Mecedonia, for those of us who are lay people not involved in the dispute...is Greece. ToAlexander the Great was Greek. His Empire was Greek. For some reason, this is a huge topic of confusion. Part of his Empire was Syria. Which will tie into the next subject that I'm going to bring up. Zechiriah Stitchin In history Alexander The Great was mentioned but nothing seemed important aout him. He was just another conqueror that wanted to rule the world like so many others. Yet, he turned up when I was reading Zechiriah Stitchin's book, "End Of Days." "Alexanders astounding victories and the resulting subjugation of the Ancient East to Western (Greek) domination have been told and retold by historians- starting with some who accompanied Alexander- and need to repetition here. What does need to be described are the personal reasons for Aleander's foray into Asia and Africa. For, apart from all geopolitical or economic reasons for the Greek-Persian great war, there was Alexander's true father, having come to the queen, Olymias, disguised as a man. WIth a Greek pantheon that derived from across the Mediterranean Sea and head (like the Sumerian twelve) by twelve Olympians, and with tales of teh gods ("myths") that emulated the Near Eastern tales of the gods, the appearance of one such god in teh Macedonian court was not deemed an impossibility. With court shenanigans that involved a young Egyptian misteress of the king and marital strife that included divorce and murders, the "rumors" were believed- first and foremost by Alexander himself. A visit by Alexander to the oracle in Delphi to find out whether he was indeed the son of a god and therefore immortal only intensified the mystery; he was advised to seek an answer at an Egyptian sacred site. It was thus that as soon as the Persians were beaten in the first battle, Alexander, rather than pursuing them, left his main army and rused to the oasis of Siwa in Egypt. There the priests assured him that he was a demigod, the son of the ram-god Amon. In celebration, Alexander issued silver coins showing him with ram's horns. But what about the immortality? While the course of the resumed warfeare and Alexander's conquests have been documented by his campaign historian Callisthenese and other historians, his personal quest for Immortality is mostly known from sources deemed to be pseudo-callisthemes, or "Alexander Romances" that embellished fact with legend. As detailed in the Stairway to Heaven, the Egyptian preists directed Alexander from Siwat to Thebes. There, on the Nile River's western shore, he could see the funerary templed built by Hatshepsut the inscription attesting to her being fathered by the god Amon when he came to her mother disgused as the royal husband- exactly like the tale of Alexander's demigod conception. In the great temple of Ra-Amon in Thebes, in the Holy of Holies, Alexander was crowned as a Pharaoh. Then, following the direction given to Siwa, he entered subterranean tunnels in the Sinai Penninsula, and finally e went to where Amon-Ra, alias Marduk, was- to Babylon. Resuming teh battles with the Persians, Alexander reached babylon in 331 B.C. and entered the city riding in his chariot. In the sacred precinct he rushed to the Esagil ziggurat temple tograspthe hands of Marduk as conquerers before him had done. But the great god was dead." A Few Notes About The Above First, I don't agree with Stitchin on a lot of things. I think that he, like so many, took the ideas too literally. He was very biased. That said, he had something going for him...and that was the fact he was thinking outside of the box. Unfortunately, what he wrote caused a great deal of fear and a great deal of confusion. An entire elabroate fear based conspiracy thing has come up around the Annunaki with people thinking that news casters and others are literally lizards. Part of that was helped along by David Icke who, unfortunately, went into the fear based interperation of the idea. That's caused by overly intellectualizing the idea and fear. However, there is other evidence that Alexander the Great thougth he was a demigod...or at least wanted to be one. Alexander The Great And The Emerald Tablet Yes, the Emerald Tablet that contains the 'recipe' for Alchemy. When we studied Alchemy we studied it more as a farming method of a Garden. The way it is written is more towards the creation, germination and growth of seeds. Yeah, like I said this guy just kept showing up this week. Next Anyexte who I follow on Facebook because he did an interview with Larid Scranton and I liked him...wrote an article disclosing his research on the Emerald Tablet...the fakes and where they came from...and the real one. You can read the article here: https://adeptinitiates.com/emerald-tablets-thoth-emerald-tablet-definitive-guide In the article Anyexte explains how he knows D.W. Hauck (one of the sources we used for our Alchemy studies and is the only authentic Alchemist- as well as an incredible scholar- out there) : "He believes the tablet was translated into Greek by Alexandrian scholars around 330 B.C. After that, it was reportedly buried by Alexander the Great, somewhere on the Giza Plateau. " Troy: The Fall Of A City Now, this is just an unrelated coincidence. The charecter, known as Paris when he's a shepard in this story...is called Alexander when his true parentage is known. That was just one of those weird things that came up. This is a known thing and it's even mentioned in the wikiepedia. There Was Another I don't remember where this source was from but I also read this week that Aristotle was Alexander The Great's teacher. He knew that Alexander was inspired by Homer's Iliad and so he gave him a copy that he always kept with him. So, it is like Alexander was inspired by the concept of Achielles that he was a demi god. The Connection To Gilgamesh Gilgamesh also went looking for confirmation of his kingliness by outside means. Of course, in that case he went North across the sea...possibly to Skara Brae to meet Noah. Yet, there is this old process of the Ancients to have this bizarre ritual to have their Kingship confirmed by these powerful beings. Edgar Cacye And Alexander The Great One of the reasons that I wanted to become a Member of the Edgar Cacye A.R.E. was the fact that you can search the Cacye readings in regard to anything you might be looking. Now, this is the first time I've used this tool but I did find a reference to Alexander the Great. He came up as one of three past lives for a child. Those three lives consisted of- The Sons of Baal on Atlantis who fell in love with a Daughter of the Law of One. The second was Alexander the Great. The third was as Thomas Jefferson! The reading is 1208- 1 . Appaently, the dude was married three times. Conclusion Finally, it's intersting that after Alexander The Great's reign the Greek time period is called Hellenistic. I'm not sure why Alexander the Great kept coming up this week really. I thought it was very odd. That's just one of those things that happens sometimes. What's interesting is that he did have a similar dream of the Cosmic Child type thing (similar to that awful cosmic child at the end of 2001 A Space Odyssey) similar to the Two Placenta dream I had. I'm hoping by dismissing this whole Demi-god idea from my system by writing about it the imbalance goes away. Writing about these things lets me release them from my mind. Which is a nice way to purge!

Thou Shalt Not Judge.
Four simple words and, yet, this is one of the hardest lessons to learn. I thought, for the longest time, from an intellectual standpoint...that it was not possible. As human beings we rely on our judgement to navigate through our lives. We judge whether a behavior is good or bad...what traits in other human beings are good or bad...because we don't want to marry a person who will hurt us or put ourselves into a situation that may cause our lives to abruptly end. When I realized how life is a subjective reality and everything is fundamentally neutral I was able to realize the value and the possibility that we can obey this commandment. Yet, these concepts are so different from popular belief that it's hard to integrate them fully. I thought I had this mastered...but I realize recently that I had not. I had a series of synchronicities...for the last month...and I just had that aha moment where I realized what it meant. So, I'll start off with the synchronicities, explain the lesson, and then meditate on the implications a bit. Synchronicity Example First, a friendship ended because I told my friends husband something she never intended to tell him. I thought she would tell him, as I tell my husband everything...I have a tendency to talk about things unless someone specifically tells me to keep it secret. I hate keeping secrets because I suck at lying...keeping secrets is just too much work. So, I tell everyone straight out, "Don't tell me your secrets because I'm not good at keeping them." I don't care if people judge me as being less valuable because I can't keep secrets...because if something is secret it's usually so for some selfish personal gain or someone has done something wrong. I was completely transparent with this friend and told her that from the start that I'm terrible at keeping secrets...but, apparently, somewhere along the way she assumed that I would keep everything she told me secret. Oops! I would have probably fought for that friendship if I hadn't had a dream indicating I should not have continued...but after a week of not talking to her and feeling so much happier I realized something... I had been complaining non-stop about my husband with that friend. That was, sadly, the only thing that the two of us had to talk about with one another...complaining about our husbands or other people in our lives for validation. This constant complaint fest had started to cause issues in my marriage, even my husband commented that I was in a foul mood after I talked to her...and it was genuinely depressing! Yet, that wasn't the only lesson to be learned. I ran into this entire series of subjects that talked about Right Speech. This was when I was working on videos for the Tower Tarot Card, the Hebrew Word Pei, the Sephiroth of Hod and the Separation stage of Alchemy. All of those videos involved Right Speech. To top this off, on top of that I was reading Awakening The Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das...and the chapter I was reading was...Right Speech. Well, I knew that the problem with my friendship that ended had to do with Right Speech. I had identified what the Wrong Speech was...and a friendship based on complaining about things is just toxic (we were both toxic for each other). Yet, there was something I had missed in this lesson because these synchronicities kept coming up...and then I was working on the Hebrew Word Tzaddi...and I wrote the the blog to accompany that video. That's when I had the aha moment of the real lesson! Fundamentally Neutral I know that all things, places, situations, people and actions that I encounter are fundamentally neutral in nature. Nothing we encounter has the fundamental quality of good or evil. What is good for one person can be evil for another. Take for example the catch phrase, "One mans trash is another man's treasure." The object is fundamentally neutral but we are the ones who place the value or the judgement on it. I have known this intellectually for a very long time. The Judgement Trap From the day we are born our parents start to teach us what is good and what is evil. Now, this is in every day mundane things. Good is petting the dog nicely. Bad is tugging on the dogs tail until it yelps in pain. This type of judgement is good. We need to learn how to judge things to figure out how to navigate through this world. Cutting off the Semi that is going down hill is bad...not because it would make him angry but because it's likely that the diesel will hit my car and I'll die. We need to know how to judge. Yet, the problem is we start judging everything non-stop...never realizing that fundamentally the item, person, or situation is fundamentally neutral. Nothing is really ever entirely evil or entirely good. Then we get to the point where everything that has to do with 'us' is good and everything that has to do with 'them' is bad...to the point where we start considering individual cases at all. There is a reason in justice that every person goes to trial and their case...their testimony...is individually heard. Each person is unique and each situation is unique...and fundamentally neither party is good or evil unless Intent and Fault can be determined beyond a reasonable doubt. The court has to prove that you intentionally killed someone to convict you for murder for a reason. Finding fault in other cases is a lot more murky...but I wanted to give an example of an extreme. Forgiveness Now, because I had intellectually understood the concept of how things are fundamentally neutral and that reality is Subjective...I realized I can forgive everyone. I really can't judge anyone for their mistakes. They are automatically forgiven. To be human is to make a lot of mistakes in judgement because there are so many distortions in the human psychology that they are darn near endless. There are so many variables...so many events and experiences that cause people to be psychologically confused...that people can't be categorized. In fact, in my cornerstone psychology class that was the conclusion...people cannot be categorized and behavior cannot be predicted because there are just too many variables involved. Yet, we still use categorization in Psychology because...well, judging good and evil along with naming things is a fundamental part of being human. Those are the primary tools all humans are taught to use in order to process the world around us. Yet, judgement and naming things lead to suffering. So, I had forgiveness down...I got it and I see forgiveness as being one of the most divine gifts a human being can offer. However, true forgiveness is permanent and cannot not retracted later. To say that we forgive can be easy. To truly forgive is hard. A lot of people say they forgive so they can pretend to be lofty...but their words and actions betray them afterward. Yet, forgiveness does not mean that you continue to place yourself in a situation where you are abused. The responsibility is up to you to realize that situation is unhealthy for you and to take yourself out of it. Complaining is Judgement Forgiving strangers is easy...forgiving a close loved one is a bit harder. Further, judging loved ones against a high standard is also very common. This was the lesson I really needed to learn. I was judging my husband endlessly! I was failing to forgive the most important person in my life...instead of seeking harmony I was building up all of this resentment. He wasn't doing what I expected him to do when I expected him to do it. I created this huge wish list for him to do and...when he didn't manage to do it I was hurt and disappointed. Yet, I know my husband very well and looking at the list I realized it was horribly unrealistic. If the shoe were on the other foot and he had crated a to do list for me with items on it that were unrealistic I wouldn't be a happy camper. Yet, when it comes to that which we are most intimately connected with...that which we deal with on a daily basis...it's very easy to not even realize what we are doing. What I'm Working On I realized that I need to transmute this behavior and practice forgiveness with him... Holding someone up to a unrealistic standard and then judging them for not rising to it...is simply silly. I also realized that the way someone speaks is the way they truly feel in their heart. Yes, they can contradict themselves at times but if all someone has to say is negative...that's how they see the world. They do not see the world or Creation as joyful, wonderful and beautiful. I know from experience that what we dwell on is what we create...if we think about something non-stop and visualize it...we make it happen one way or another. If we dwell on negative scenarios, as I did when complaining about my husband with my friend, all we will see is the negative it that situation...in my case, all I could see was the negative in my relationship. I know, in my heart that he is the most kind, wonderful and loving man that I could possibly ever find. He goes out of his way to make me happy...but he has boundaries which is healthy. He is very aware of what he needs to make himself happy and that is his main concern...and rightly so because that is his responsibility not mine. He was raised in a family where everyone looked out for themselves so this is natural to him. Just as it is my responsibility to make myself happy and not wait on him to make me happy. I need to do the things that make myself happy. Unfortunately, I was raised in an unhealthy relationship where it was considered everyone's responsibility to make everyone else happy...and I was that person who was the best at making everyone else happy with the thoughtful gift or act that eased tension. You can see the conflict there..and the beautiful lessons that my husband and I are teaching each other: I'm teaching him to be more considerate of other people's needs. He's teaching me how to meet my own needs and not try to make everyone else happy (which is an act in futility if there ever was one). Conclusion This is how synchronicity works and how you can use it to learn an important life lesson. You can bet I will be paying close attention to what I say from now on! Practicing Right Speech will be a goal that I will be mindful of going forward. Usually, when I learn these lessons the behavior follows effortlessly. After all, I realize how important it is and I don't enjoy repeating lessons. I'm sure I'll make mistakes going forward...that is to be expected. Just as I forgive myself for the mistakes I made that lead to me learning this lesson...I forgive mistakes that I make in the future as I learn to walk this new level of the Path of the Seeker. This is also why I lay all of my mistakes before you...I want you to know I'm not perfect. If I can forgive this deeply and profoundly so can you. With each lesson learned we lessen our suffering just a little more...the Path of the Seeker is like a mountain that we are moving pebble by pebble...but with each pebble removed we suffer less.
There has been a major synchronicity that has occured recently that I can't really ignore. I have blogs scheduled through April of next year so I'm just going to do a quick bonus blog to cover this subject.
I really felt the need to let you know if you're going through this transition...it's not just you. Also, I want to share with you HOPE because if I can handle all the chaos I'm about to describe to you...then you can too! We just need to put all of this Letting Go into the right perspective. Hope is so important and humanity in the last twenty years or so had lost HOPE to the point where people had given up. I think that had a lot to do with the stillbirth of the New Age movement...people got excited about it during the 90's and then dropped it like a rock...then they became excited about it around 2012 and when nothing happened...dropped it like a rock again. This is indicated by all of the Dystopian Future young adult novels and movies that have come out in the last decade. The risk of a Dystopian future was greatest back when the first nuclear bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Struggling with that sort of destructive power did man kind give up Hope? No, they didn't. Hence, the incredible optimisim of the 1980's captured so well in the movie Tomorrow Land with George Cloony that completely flopped...why? Because optimisim is not something that this current generation has thanks to the bitterness the previous generations taught them (Boomers and Gen. Xers). The above picutre was shared by a friend on Facebook and I realized that the timing, as always, is perfect (as Francesca Simon says- Everything Is In Divine Order!). etting Go, has been the Great Synchronicity. So many people are making big life changing decisions this year...moving, changing jobs and having kids. For me it started at the end of June (as the blog published on Monday that I wrote in July discusses) and boy has it continued! We seem to be at the most conetrated point of this experience as we head into the final four 'ber' months of the year. The odds that the four videos at the end of this blog are all in accordance with the same essential message...well, let's just say it's low. This is a great example of a synchronicity and how, "If you have the ears to hear," you can hear messages of what's going on at the Group Soul (oversoul/logos) level of humanity and if you're in alignment with your Higher Self the essence of that experiene is probably manifesting in your own life because all of us are interconnected. As you correct the distoritions (Errors) within your psyche (persona/paradigm) your connection to the Oversoul becomes more pure allowing to tune into the pulse of society. I have let go of a lot of attachments since June. My dog Angel, a friend to whom I was very attached, my Ford Ranger which is the only thing I ever bought 100% for myself, my personal checking account, we're getting rid of a television stand we don't use...and I literally cleaned out my closet of all ofthe clothes I don't want (five bags worth) I've been carting around some ofthat clothes since the late 90's! My referigerator broke, my oven and even my carpet cleaner (a must with pets!). On top of that one of my cats decided to completely mark one of my favorite chairs...and there is no getting that smell out of it once it's covered (my husband hated that chair so I guess that's a bonus for him). Luckly, we could afford to replace most of these times (we're not replacing the chair) and we got the big ticket items on discount because of the Labor Day sales! Earlier in the year I let go of my relationship with my sister and with a best friend from High School. Those were both worn out relationships that needed to go...I had been trying to tug them along out of obligation and, perhaps, pride. I love all of the people I have let go of this year but it was time for them to go...I only desire to have positive uplifting people that I can connect with in my life...not drag along relationships with people who think I'm strage or a weirdo that needs to find 'other people like me' because I'm just on a different level of paradigm (or frequency if you want to use that term). Oh, and my husband is going through this too (obviously a good deal of my list affects him too) but in a very big way...he's changing jobs! Luckily, he ended up back at a job that he loves with better pay and better benefits then the company he's worked at for the last two years. Plus they are going to pay for him to go back to college online and earn his Bachelors Degree in Engineering! Not having his bachelor's degree in Engineering has been one of the major disappointments in his life so seeing him heal that is going to be tremendous. We will go on vacation next year because he'll have vacation weeks the first year! That is *SO* rare and I'm so happy he's going to be back with Banks Power. I *LOVE* that company. I will miss him working from home but he's going to be happy because being home can be so distracting and he couldn't handle being isolated in a room upstairs for eight hours. Not to mention I don't like having to tip toe around the house because he's always on the phone with customers or co-workers. Then there was the water heater that broke and flooded the garage. The result of that is my husband chose to get rid of a lot of the things that were in the garage that were broken but we had been holding onto in the hopes of fixing them or using them in the future. I have let go of so much at this point that I'm sure I'm missing a few things! Also, interestingly, this purging energy might have a lot to do with the Theme that Bashar has given for next year. Bashar has given 2018 the name, "Year of of Decision and Revelation." Those on the leading edge of the Group Oversoul usually experieance these in adavnce and this month is a great indicator of that! Not to mention next year we will probably find out who is running against Trump for president and if he'll seek a second term. Personally, if I was him, I wouldn't seek a second term so it wouldn't surprise me if he deicded that the best choice for him and his family would be to leave the presidential office. Interestingly, this letting go cycle appears to be affecting everyone right now- starting with the Full Moon of August 26th (this week) and continuing to the New Moon of September 9th. I really noticed this watching the vidoes of my faovrite people that I follow on YouTube. I've been following Victor Oddo for a couple of years now. I love watching his channel grow. I was amazed when he hit his first one thousand subscribers. Now he has over 140 thousand! I didn't even know there were so many Seekers or people who were Awakening! As always he's in tune with what's going on in my life...and it appears it's happening with a bunch of other people's lives! I love the title of this video...Victor always keeps things positive even during challenging times.
Molly McCord is someone that I recently discovered. Molly is straight and to the point when it comes to describing the astrological energies and she is extremely productive. I've checked out a few astrologist and she's by far the most genuine and inspired. I really enjoy her channel and highly recommend that you check her out. This is the second week she talked about Letting Go.
I've shared a lot of Colette Baron Reid's weekly oracle video. As she explains...these are prescriptions not predicions. The last couple of weeks have been about letting go but this week in particular the energy seems to be strong. This weeks cards were Time To Go, Mending and New Life!
Lune Innate is amazing. I love her videos. They are very calming and Reiki defintely has an effect on me. Although, this session is not Reiki. This Healing session is perfect for the current energy of change and letting go!
Finally there is Dimitri (not sure I spelt his name correctly) from Massage ASMR with a quck sort of Reiki type healing where he is 'drawing away' those old energy patterns that you do not need.
Conclusion
We are living in dramatically powerful times. The key is to allow yourself to let go of all of these things that do not serve you. Don't try to hold onto them but let them go. If things are currently falling apart it's because they do not serve you now. If you try to hold onto those things the new better circumstances coming into your life will be blocked...and the only person that is blocking them from manifesting them is you. I focused on all of the stuff that I let go of before...but let me share the NEW stuff that's come into my life. First and foremost is my goregous lovely beautiful baby girl Michelle Annmarie. She is a feisty and smilely little lovely girl. Her presence has altered my entire world. Second, I have a gorgeous 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier with leather heated seats and Sirius satellite radio sitting in my driveway. The Sirius satelite radio is how I learned of the band Nothing More which is the only band other then Disturbed that are currently producing songs that I'm excited about. Third, a new and better Refrigerator. The water filtration system on this one is far superior to the last one. Fourth, a new Double Oven with a griddle which will make cooking so much more fun. I literally have every appliance I may ever need in my kitchen. I will be making fanastic home made meals and baby food for my Michelle. Fifth, pretty soon there will be a kitchen remodel...and so, in a way, I'll have a new kitchen! Sixth, new Disturbed album in October! Given that I pretty much listend to nothing else (except the Frozen soundtrack) but Immortalized that came out in 2015 I am so excited about this new alblum. The latest alblum is called Evolution! I'm sure there are more things but that's what's arrived so far...I've already stated how my husband has received a new and better job. That alone will be a major upgrade in our quality of living! Let go of all of that baggage you've been carrying around...all that hold history and old victimization mentality. Let in the new reborn you...a totally different person then all of those experiences that you have had before...hold onto the lessons those events taught you about yourself....and move on to the NEW YOU and your NEW LIFE! I will end with sharing with you these three songs. Nothing More- Do you Really Want It?- That's the quesiton you should be asking yourself. Do you really want Change? That's what was promised by Obama and Trump...but only you can do that by changing yourself. That's the decision you need to make in the next year. As the song says...you get ripped apart in some ways by the process but it's only your persona that's being torn apart...not the real you...not your essence which is eternal! Disturbed- Are You Ready? In the same vein as he above this song asks are you ready for Change? Notice how the video is someone rebelling against Group Think? Linking Park- Catalyst- This song has been playing a lot on my YouTube Music app. This breakdown and destruction of who you used to think you were...all upon which you have built the ego...is the Catalyst in your personal transforamtion (The Tower Card in the Tarot Card Keys- check out my YouTube channel for that video). I didn't even know this song existed prior to this year...Chester Bennington was such a psychic sensitive soul...he just couldn't let go of his past despite all of his success and transition into a new paradigm. Just like Anthony Bourdain the past they couldn't let go of hunted them down and ended their lives too soon. I see the death of these two, both among my favorite celebraties and I can count all of my favorite celebraties on one hand, as a warning to anyone trying to hold on to the past and resist the change. That strategy will lead you to destruction. Thank you, Brave Soul, for joining me. I'm sending much love to you to help you with the transition!
I had been hearing this song everywhere...
After watching a scene in Deadpool 2 back in June when Cable get's into the truck he stole after traveling forward in time...and after hearing it the night before at the end of the chase scene in Wanted I decided to check this song out. Why this Synchronicity? Is this just a popular song in movies that I like and the rare occasions I went out shopping? Here is the scene from Wanted...it's played at the end of the chase scene:
Plus, this song is used in Guardian's of the Galaxy Vol. 1. I feel connected to this movie as much as I do Frozen. I remember when the Rock (Groot) asked everyone to go out and see it. No one thought it was going to be good...but The Rock asked and so my husband and I headed out to see it and it became one of my absolute favorites. Here is the scene from Guardians of the Galaxy:
The Song is, "Escape, if you like Pina Colada's," originally by Rupert Holmes
Yes, yes, I suppose it's just a coincidence that all three movies that I loved would have this song. However, more then likely there is a reason the film makers included it in their movies...due to the Collective Consciousness.
So, I figured I'd go ahead and give the entire song a listen for giggles.
Well, it was a very entertaining read. Here are the lyrics: I was tired of my lady, we'd been together too long Like a worn-out recording, of a favorite song So while she lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed And in the personals column, there was this letter I read "If you like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain If you're not into yoga, if you have half-a-brain If you like making love at midnight, in the dunes of the cape I'm the lady you've looked for, write to me, and escape" I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean But me and my old lady, had fallen into the same old dull routine So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad Yes, I like Pina Coladas, and getting caught in the rain I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and cut through all this red tape At a bar called O'Malley's, where we'll plan our escape" So I waited with high hopes, then she walked in the place I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face It was my own lovely lady, and she said, "Oh, it's you" And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew" Why Is It Consistently Used? This song does fit the movies that it's featured in very well. All of those movies were about unhappy misfits that were figuring out their role in the world. 1. Wanted- Wesley was bored with his life. He learned to have a better relationship with life in general...it didn't require a physical escape or even the ability to google his name but a change in perception/paradigm (which is a hallmark of the Spiritual Path of the Seeker). 2. Guardian's of the Galaxy- A movie about a bunch of misfits that are brought together who really didn't have anything. Drax had his wife and had no reason to continue. Star Lord had lost his mother and been abducted. Gamorrah had lost her family. Rocket was an experiment so he never had anyone except Groot. Yet, after finding each other, forming into a team, and saving the galaxy they have a new paradigm. 3. Deadpool 2 : Deadpool really went on his own. He considered the word Family to be an F word...in other words something undesirable. After losing Vanessa and then forming the X-Force he realizes there are group of people that support him. That changes his paradigm and he no longer has a desire to go it alone.
In all of these movies the protagonist discovers that it is a shift in paradigm.
That's why this song fits all of those movies perfectly. The song also fits the Path of the Seeker because you realize, once your far enough along, that you already knew all of the answers and that you had all the tools you needed for your transformation. That's the perfect escape...the answer to how to make ourselves happy is always there...we just need to learn to see it sometimes. Sometimes, you just need a little bit of help, a "permission slip" to perform the task of self-transformation...but the outer world is still the same...you just perceive it differently. Goodness knows right now I'm on that learning curve with finding how to stay Positive. I came into this world a pessimist from the start. Reversing that multiple life habit is not easy! Yet, it's been incredibly fun! Apparently, right before your birthday a cycle ends. Francesca Simon talks about this...and what happens is that a bunch of people usually leave your life about that time. The worn out things you don't need or the situations that didn't work for you. Then in the first 52 days after your birthday is when you plant new seeds that will come to fruition the following year. So, that is probably why this song seems appropriate. I'm 'escaping' in a way by shedding the old me and making way for something new (her name is Michelle). <3 |
