Merry Quackers and Christmas Kindness

 Quakers and Kindness

                                                            Meet the Family

I won a baby duckling at the Arizona State Fair.  I threw a nickel high into the air, it bounced and landed in a little shallow pan.  My brother and his friend, Chris, shouted, she won!  Hey, she won a duck! I was handed a cute little yellow ball of fluff that I named Kim. Back up about 3 minutes before the winning coin toss. I was having a moment of frustration, or a 5 year old temper tantrum. Everyone was throwing nickels trying to win a baby duck, but, I was too small. I could not see over the railing.  It was like I was invisible and powerless to enlist the help needed.  When they handed me a nickel, I tossed it in a wild, devil may care way and won. I can't imagine how many things that nickel hit and bounced off of on its trajectory. That seems to be true with most of my lucky breaks.  If I am detached from the desired outcome, I am sure to get my wish. My brother dug a pond for Kim the whole family enjoy many funny moments with Kim. I had a wonderful experience and I loved her so much. I thought Kim was a girl duck. My parents loved him too but took him to Encanto Park to be with other ducks once he was fully grown.  The mystery is how did I discover Kim was a male?  That is yet to come.  

(sorry about the font change)

 Kim was one of many pets and animals that I would take care of over the years.  I was given an old horse one summer at camp.  This horse was having some hip problems and he hurt.  We were always lagging behind everyone on the trail at camp.  I would get upset when he wouldn’t obey my commands.  One day the trail leader said you have to show him whose boss.  I was sort of mean that day digging my heals in his side.  After a long day of riding I got off of him and just looked at him in the eyes and he had so much love in his face.  We spoke to each other in whispers and nozzles and hugs.  I could see that he was just old and tired and yet he had such resiliency.  After that I was patient and kinder and we did just fine.  He would go a little bit faster once in a while and catch up to everyone.  I hated to say good bye at the summer’s end there was such unconditional love within this horse.  I got equine therapy free of charge and it really did help too.    

My Dad and Mom would not let me have a cat for many years due to my asthma attacks. Sometimes interactions would be with other’s animals would result in rashes.  Finally Zac found a little cat in the snow.  It was so tiny and I said, OK let’s take it home.  That started the rescuing of cats part of our life.  I had to take antihistamines to cope.  Over time my body got used to cat dander and I am alright now.  We could not always keep them but we had them until we found a good home for them. That is why we have Smoky.  He was beat up and I took him to the vet.  He got patched up.  The vet said, “This one is feral”.  Well he adopted us and when we were packing to leave he jumped in the car with us.  Most cats complain and meow when ridding in a car.  Smoky is a great travel cat and probably could go on the road with us.   There were birds we rescued as well.  We learned how to feed a lost ferret until the owner found him.  I am proud of the many creatures we managed to help and find homes for over the years.  

I love animals and feel they do communicate with us.  I never expected anything in the way of reward for helping and rescuing animals.  I had to abandon two cats once and felt awful.  We took them to a very nice neighborhood and let them go.  That is not the usual track I take but we had an unusual situation at that time.  The best place is always a no kill shelter if you can find one. 

 

The animals say thank you 

One night I had a wonderful dream.  Kim, my duck, waddled up to me and said, “Hello”.   He spoke to me and he was dressed up in a scarf and vest but looked especially dapper in his Scottish Tam.   He introduced me to his many ducklings.  Kim had a wife and they had many seasons of ducklings.  I only saw about 20 present.  They all greeted me with such affection.  Then Kim said, “Come this way, Nancy” and I followed.  I walked into a barn where to my surprise were all the animals I had ever helped.  There were some birds flying around as well.  I noticed the old horse and several dogs, and cats and they were all smiling in their own way.  As if on cue, they all said, “Hello, Nancy, we love you”. It was so adorable how slowly and deliberately they formed those words with squawks, squeaks, guttural sounds, and a little baying.  It reminds me of the Christmas song my classroom of first graders sang in Spanish.  We had to do it many times and very slowly to pronounce it right. My heart just swelled with appreciation.  Dreams come with many feelings as well.  The feeling I had was that all those little interactions we take for granted do add up and the animal kingdom is receptive and perhaps blessed.  All life is sacred.  I am not a vegetarian but more and more I shun meat and I never eat duck.  We go out for Chinese food once in a while and it is on the menu but to this day, I can never have it.

The moral if there is one:  No act of kindness goes unnoticed in the larger eyes of the All That Is.  Let it come from the heart where every good and perfect gift comes from.   

Why do People Desire Tarot Card Readings?

Tarot Card Readings: Why do People Want Them?

I have a long history with Tarot Cards and they are tools for accessing the subconscious mind.  Yes, they are only tools.  This is not what Hollywood movies wish to portray.  They use the cards in different ways from being spooky to being magical and that is not at all true.  If I throw down a bunch of Rorschach ink blot cards would that cause the same paranoia?  The ink blots also use subjective reasoning and perception to reach into the subconscious. Religious dogma and Hollywood have made a problem by spouting misleading information.  Some people have mixed feelings about the deck.  First let me attempt to answer the first question in this title.  Why do people seek fortune tellers or psychics for advice on some things?

I worked as a professional psychic in Sedona for over a year.  Sedona is a very enhanced environment for manifestation and it seems to be a hub for New Age beliefs.  I enjoyed all the people I met and I regard the time spent there with great fondness.  Financially, I did well there.  I made a lot of money.  I highlight that because people are willing to spend serious money to see psychics.  The proof of behavior is only trumped by what another will pay to access this knowledge. Another realization was “the type” of people who see us psychics.  I will tell you all walks of life and I had a steady stream of professionals.  I had doctors, nurses, counselors, therapists, other psychics, Hollywood celebrities, and even a couple who were ambassadors from the United Nations. 

                       Lincoln visiting troops 1863

Historically, Abraham Lincoln employed the counsel of mediums and psychics.  Did he listen? Yes, he did and he benefited and so did we.  A psychic told him to visit his troops in person during a period of waning support during the civil war.  His logic argued the necessity of being physically present.  He was told he would turn the tide in the war.  His presence rejuvenated the troops enough to continue on to victory.  There was something iconic about Abe presence and I think we would all react with awe at seeing him in person. You probably prefer a reference on that.  I have read about 2 dozen biographies on Abe Lincoln and I honestly don’t remember which one that came from.  I just remember the story. This quote is copied from The Spiritualist Association of Great Brittan.

“The fact that Abraham Lincoln consulted Spiritualist Mediums,   and even attended séances in the White House is NOT found   in any middle or high school American History textbook. Therefore,   the average American is totally oblivious to the fact that   Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves,   was inspired from the Spirit World”. Nettie Maynard was the trance was the channel medium used quite frequently by Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln.  We all can thank her then for encouraging the Emancipation Proclamation.  There are several American Presidents who have consulted   Mediums and several European Royals as well.    Queen Victoria was one of those as well as a Czar of Russia.   I believe there were fewer stigmas in those times.  For some odd reason the medical, scientific, and religious agencies seem to have a fear of the unknown When it comes to psychic phenomena.  There have been many hidden military explorations   of remote Viewing and other types of paranormal experiments.

And so Why do people seek or enlist the help of psychics?  Answer the Question; will you Nancy?  Abe and others seek knowledge that is beyond the usual logic of this world.  The spirit side of our wisdom sees beyond the current circumstances into a broader field of reasoning.  I suppose you would call it the “bigger picture”.   Just being psychic is not enough.  I believe I must leave my “Nancy Brian” alone and go to the source for the answer.  I turn to the Source or God.  As I do this asking, I drop into an altered state and become more receptive.  I have learned over the years to access my subconscious mind.  The next logical question would be how do you know this is God or even accurate or good information?  That is a million dollar question.  I have learned to trust.  I am going into uncharted territory; however, my feeling side alerts me to misinterpretation.  When I misinterpret a symbol or phrase, my body reacts with tension.  When I am with the spirit of God I am joyful and at peace and the information flows.   The subjective part of subconscious reality is the use of symbols, anecdotes, metaphor, parable, small scenario, and symbols.  Some of this information is rather cryptic in nature.  I believe to be longer would alert the logic part of the brain to further interpretation. One very happy experience was a couple reading I did.  There was a couple sitting on the fence and my reading was pushing them together.  I even foretold of having a basketball team of boys.  They were destined to have many boy children and it was correct that they both loved sports especially basketball.  When I read for the handsome boyfriend I received two very quick and equally strong symbols.  One was a water color on canvass of a sunrise and the other symbol was a birthday cake with lit candles.  I hesitate a moment and try to access the feeling side of this vision.  A loving Grandmother enters my field of visions and says “Happy Birthday Scott”!  I tell Scott all that is being conveyed.  Tomorrow is his birthday and this tarot card reading is a birthday present. (I did not know that) He painted a lovely sunrise watercolor on canvass as a gift for his Grandmother long ago.  For Scott, it all made sense.  For me, I just swim in the trust and glory of God and that is my reward.  That is an example of the short pieces that come to me that I don’t really always understand.  Why do people pay good money to see someone like me?  Where else can you get that type of information?  That is a short and simple explanation. 

In the space of about ½ hour, Scott and Jill moved from sitting on the fence into a committed relationship. They also decided that they are selling one home and moving into hers as a result.  On top of that decision there were giggles, tears and the realization that life continues beyond the change called death.  Not a bad yield in so little time.

I believe this discussion could indeed become a whole volume in its answer.  I hope I have at least hit some of the highlights in this post.  Perhaps I will continue later.

Beyond the Jetson's: Our Future Cities and Autos

The Jetsons? Future Moon Travel? Cities, Hover Cars, telemedicine? 

 My two sons and I shared our fantastic vision of what is to be here on earth and elsewhere.  Elsewhere, includes the moon and Mars.  I only have dreams of those two destinations that I can recall.  There was one dream that gives me a headache both in remembering it and trying to describe it.  We went to some jump off in a square looking ship and it flipped us into another dimension.  That is hard to explain.  Here on earth travel and life changes dramatically: I am going to describe what our group has experienced on earth.

Earth

Travel is quite different.  I was cruising along about 20 feet off the ground in a hover craft and our destination was in sight.  We were heading toward a domed city.  The grass was a vivid green color beneath us and the sun seemed very bright.  I felt as though the atmosphere had changed with more light coming through the ozone.  I lived in a different body than the one I have now.  I would guess my age about 30 years old and I have platinum blond hair that seems to be very thin and has some blue streaks in it.  I look like a Barbie doll in shape as I appear longer limbed and yet more delicate in physique.  Some of my senses are more acute than I currently have.  I suspect some genetic altering goes on, but it seems to benefit us in many ways.  Funny that I know I am me… this personality or being in a different form.  I could not find an exact picture of the craft.   I found two pictures that have some of the features.  First noticeable feature was the huge rubber doughnut the craft sat in.  This craft was programmable and could only fly within certain altitude parameters.  Airspace was divided into certain altitude ranges for certain type of craft.  Many collisions were diverted by programming into a main computer flight database.  Speed and altitude was strictly enforced and we could not do much spontaneous exploration.  We traveled fast, but safely.  I think the dome kept us from natural hazards like fallen trees etc.  The two pictures below will help to visualize the aerodynamic style and the dome looking all window cockpit.

 

This is a recent find, a flying car, seems that it is in the works already.  The only problem is I don’t see this small version in the future.  

(I have added some things recently remembered)

Before the domed cities are totally ready and help us survive the elements, there are some other steps we seem to take.  Over population does continue for a while and then, it seems to suddenly stop.  That does scare me a bit.  Before this population shift happens there are roller-coaster electric cars.  I would describe them as small electric vehicles that are programmed to simply get on and off a sort of light rail system.  The two tracks take these cars on a high speed journey.  There are hundreds of connected cars on the rail.  It does up and around and sideways just like an amusement park ride.  It debuckles the cars at programmed destinations.  I was reading about this recently.  With this type of transport you could have cars that travel around mountains and other lovely spots, like the grand canyon without interfering with animals who migrate. This would be eco friendly and does not pollute our air. Paved roads are things of the past. Some use them for amusement purposes only. 

The Big City

  This part reminded me of the Jetsons on steroids.  There were sky scrapers that were built out of a new type of metal and these structures went up overnight.  Some were built on hillsides some were built in water with a aquarium type view of coral reefs.  This metal is very strong and seems to be a crystal nano bot. It is programmed somehow into the vertical shape. The nice thing is it is transparent.  It adjusts to let in the right amount of light much like tinted windows on a car. We can avoid problems like mold and rot to buildings in the future. There is no fear of heights because it is slightly flexible to earth movement.  It really solves lots of issues. There are inner walls for smaller buildings that have built in solar supplied sources for appliances.  Appliances change quite a bit.  I see slide out bath tubs and different kitchens. All are much more energy efficient.  The inner walls are not transparent but are reinforced with a different type of metal as well.  The buildings seem to have their own intelligence. In the country there are cabin homes that come in pieces.  It is like ordering a modular home kit. They arrive on a truck.  People put them together fairly easily, as though they are throwing up a tent. Again the outer walls are a transparent metal and it is wonderful. This kit has several rods that when activated “grow” the outer wall within hours.  The view of the forest is all around like having huge picture windows but there are no joints to let in moisture. Nice. 

 Big Bustling City again:

The carports for the super structures were like the Jetsons.  There were ports many stories in the air.  There were bridge ways between large buildings.  I can’t imagine where this was but I believe Portland and the New York Islands had a huge bridge way.  Travel across the USA could be done in 8 hours.  New York and Ontario changed in land mass to islands.  There are Texas mega cities also and Michigan too.  People do not live in the country too much.  Survival demands an almost hive mentality and we do many things differently. Zach experienced underground apartments and shopping centers in the Phoenix area.  I prefer to think the population reduces because some people move to Mars or another earth like planet.  I hope that is the case. I keep seeing a stream of population going between the Gliese 581g planet and earth. There are also two more planets that we terraform. While terraforming goes on, there are domes with plant life set up on planets. Trees are a major way to create oxygen. These domes were in ancient times called “Edens” according to some sources. Adds a bit of a twist to the old tale. Perhaps mixing with the indigenous life forms is ill advised in the beginning. It may cause a much shorter life span or death.  The original earth continues but at a slower pace with fewer occupants.  I feel like those who live here are universal diplomats or the “communication hub of the wheel” for other satellite communities

Today 12/17/12, I add a few things about future societal norms that I remember from other dreams and visions.  Abortion ceases to be a divisive problem.  Those young women who become pregnant can transfer the baby to a surrogate mother at about 5 ½ months of pregnancy.  The fetus is too fragile for this before the second trimester.  A young unwed mother need not miss school or suffer the birth pain. She is able to choose the best situation for her unborn child. This seems to be a win/win for all. 

9/19/15. I am inserting a link here.  It is far easier to transfer a fetus to an artificial womb and safer too.  It is tricky to ask a very fragile fetus to attach to a new real womb.  They have raised animals like goats in an artificial womb successfully for several weeks.  Also the adoptive mother could share some genetics with the fetus as well so that all parents contribute around 25% of genetic information but infusing their blood with the unborn child.  This would be a really happy situation for everyone.

Open arrangements for future communication are also non problematic.  We remember watching the movie “Juno” with mixed feelings about her decision.  It is quite a sacrifice for these young girls.  As birth control and the science regarding fertility advance this is less of an issue for all concerned. The whole subject of religion becomes more scientific. That is not to diminish its sacred place but many concepts are now universal and documented.  The fact that people are like radios and can broadcast and receive messages via a magnetic field is not longer viewed as an oddity.  Relationships change into different categories.  There are domestic partnerships and parenting partnerships and the discussion of infidelity does not occur. There is more openness around human sexuality and physical relationships. Religion finally leaves the bedroom and transcends to other topics. The exchange of money changes dramatically.  There are requests and come type of data bank. If someone needs something that is not provided, such as housing, medical, food, storage, education and many recreational things as well, they submit a request.  It is much like applying for a grant and the reasons this is something that they need.  Coins are not used.  There is a museum for the history of money.  Education is a collaborative decision between the student and higher learning.  It depends on how well they do or the aptitude of the student. There is no cost for this. I don’t see “pets” too much in the future.  Perhaps they are there somewhere. Mental illness is solved through mineral and vitamin therapy and non stressful environments.  There are intelligent birds.  They look like big Macaws but they are beyond human intelligence and so are some of the Dolphin and whale species.  We confer with them on scientific and environmental issues.  That is totally amazing.  This future will be worth the trouble we are going through now…for our grand-kids.   

The Moon

The moon has long been in use by our military and as I believe is rather hollow in places where basis exist.  There is reptile human like race there or so they say.  That I cannot vouch for.  What is interesting is that people will travel there in a bus like vehicle that runs on some sort of cable from the earth to the moon.  My guess is it takes several hours to get there.  I have been a passenger in a dream and my stomach hurt.  There are medications that calm the body before this flight but my body seemed to have an issue.  Once on the moon, there is a Las Vegas type lounge and entertainments.  The most breath taking views of earth and the stars exist.  I believe that all this takes place on only the dark side.  The sun proves too intense otherwise.  We do allow some reptilians to remain there with a yellow light of caution.  There are the “good” factions and some groups do see the benefit in cooperation.

This model is more similar to that one in my vision, however it is sitting in a rubber donut around it.

This car is electric and all ready here. It is oddly similar to future bumper cars that attach like daisy chain cars on a rail. 

Mars

.  I have been on Mars in my dreams and I believe we are already there.  The sky appears peach colored instead of blue and no one has windows. There might be privacy but a different method like folding patricians and special curtains. There is not as much of an issue with some things deemed private,  The culture there prefers openness and the breeze.  The Mars breeze is necessary and constant.  There must be oxygen and underground water.  I would have to dream a bit more about what we do there.  I believe that this inner city existed inside a crater and then a dome or protected environment.  That is probable why glass windows were not needed.  

Just for fun:  This link discusses things that the Jetson Cartoon got right. It is pretty amazing too.  https://www.ave4u.net/what-the-jetsons-got-right-about-technology-and-home-automation/

My Childhood journey from Autism to Genius in just 2 years

Crazy early education

My Childhood journey from Autism to Genius in just 2 years

I repeated the first grade and then skipped the 5^th grade several years later.  I went from being labeled retarded or autistic by my young  first grade teacher to making straight A's in 3rd and 4^th grade teacher.  This is a true story. 

Public education is not for everyone.  It is a one size fits all system and it really should be tailored to each individual.  All children would benefit from having team meetings and IEP’s or Indivdiual Education Plan.  

My problems were misunderstood. I was pretty misunderstood.  I think I was an indigo child early in the 1960's. I refuse to talk about my mom's temper but I was in and out of the hospital as a kid.  I would detach completely from everyone and everything.

  My parents were fighting all the time at home and I really feared they would kill each other.  I would go into my closet and tremble then develop an asthma attack.  I would be near death, blue from lack of oxygen when my parents would then rush me to the hospital.  The pediatrician was a very wise man.  I loved him.  He got the nurses to “make me pretty”.  They would come and do my hair with ribbons and pins.  The first time he saw me my hair was dirty and my bangs were in my face.  Hard to believe I was the daughter of a dentist.  Hard to believe my parents were so absorbed in their own drama that I kept dying to get them out of it.  I wanted to go home with the pediatrician. 

Fortunately, CPS was never involved, and my grandparents became more involved.  I lived with them for about two years until my Grandpa became very ill with emphysema.  Those two years with my Grandparents worked like a magic charm. It was at that point I felt safe and was happy.  Grandmamma could sew.  She made me little costumes to play in.  I would be a ballerina all day leaping around the house.  I could be a pirate the next day leaping around the house but with a play sword.  I got physically stronger.  Grandpapa would take me to ball games and I loved just being with him and getting to eat a hot dog.  Then he would play base ball with me.  I would win.  I would win at board games too.  When I did really well he would give me a dollar.  Life just couldn’t get any better that summer.  Then it was time for school.  Grandmamma drove me to a private church school.  It was in a very small classroom.

The teacher took an enormous liking to me.  She saw my potential and pulled me out.  Other children liked me because she did.  I had great friends.  All of a sudden all the pieces were in place for me to succeed in school.  In fact when returned to my nuclear family, and returned to public school, I skipped a grade.  I was ahead of them.

 I noticed my second child speaking more telepathically that with words.  They don't teach to the indigo spirit in most schools, so I can understand my problems.  Also the labels and those little yellow school buses can be very stigmatizing.  I had poor self esteem in those early years.

I think things are changing.
