are we on the same day now or are my chill
messages still one day ahead?
i thimk we're on the same page/date NOW... that's the one i have for April 13th.
A world explained to us by others is no world at all.
We must have the courage to listen for ourselves.
Speak for ourselves. Be a light unto ourselves.
~Hildegard of Bingen
that one's a little wimpy because it's talking in duality about the ego "self"
if i follow it, it'll keep me less affected by the collective social consciousness (society's ego)
but i still need to be aware of the illusion that the ego "self" is based upon and seek to identify
with the all-encompassing "Self" with the BIG "S" - EVERYTHING... ONEness.

i'm looking at the new quote for April 14th:

No one here--not a person, nor a
Buddha; Countless universes are mere
bubbles in the ocean, The sages and
masters, flashes of lightning.
~Yoka Diashi

i have no idea what it means!!??!!
must be poetry. <g>

the quotes from the chill app are just that... QUOTES. sometimes wise, sometimes poetic,
but most times not real helpful in getting you to "chill" by dropping thought and feeling ONENESS.
the reminders that come throughout the day are the REAL chill app helpers. they always point
you to awareness in the NOW and identifying with the BIG "Self". EVERY-THING... including the
currents between the electrons and protons in the spittle of black swans. ;-) the chill app helpers
are like 3 minute meditations to achieve "mindfulness". they bring me back to the NOW... many
times i'm already here, but mostly not... so i like the reminders.

my favorite palindrome = DO GEESE SEE GOD? it's also a faux-zen koan... ponder it awhile.

four cents please

remember when we were on zoom last friday and i said it was 72 degrees fahrenheit, sunny
