I often wonder so myself. At high school, I was very active in sports (running, cricket, squash) and would spend half my days all sweated up (I hope that’s not too raunchy 🙂 but yeah, always active. I drank _enormous_ amounts of water. Plus the food I was eating was fried, baked, or processed in a package. That only accelerated the dehydration issues.
that continues to this day.
still drink gallons of water, even if I’m not as active.
I notice in the summer months, especially, I can get a ‘dehydration’ headache very easily. Sort of a buzz in the mind, as if the pressure isn’t right. Quickly fixed with a few glasses of lukewarm water. Always amazes me that ‘cure’.
I’ve also read that Not Drinking Enough Water can cause gastritis and ulcers, heartburn, constipation, and even arthritis!! not sure about these ailments!
but what about you, do you drink enough water? and what type? (purified, bottled, filtered?)
as one moves forward in time, one’s identity is constantly changing.
once a child, now a high school student, then a college graduate, worker, spouse, then parent. Our roles revolve and change over a lifetime. Different skills, different experiences.
but for what end?
we end up with stories to tell; some funny, some wise, a lifetime of different places, different faces.
but somewhere in there, something remains constant. A consciousness, a knowing, a perceiver.
right now, my self-identity is tied up with music, and a spiritual path. It has been a road traveled for 10 years now. Fun, exciting, unexpected, challenging.
but this too is a phase. Our self-identity is who we choose to live our lives as; the various positions we occupy in society. The key, I think, is not to cling to it too tightly.
Michael Jackson is just a memory of who he was, as is Michael Jordan. The roles pass.
now, at times a Negative Greeting presents itself. Such an event is intended to cause fear and self-doubt in us; to question our integrity and ability. The proper response is love.
just recently I spilled some hot stew on my left hand. Its was a Negative Greeting
they have often been called imps, gremlins, or bad fairies. They play tricks on us. We cannot see them.
so we accept the tricks, the deliberate toying with our mind.
1. don’t get angry
2. don’t get mad
3. don’t ignore it
4. but greet these Gremlins of Fate with love and acceptance. Bring them back to the fold of Oneness.
through Love, all things are diffused, all Greetings are nullified.
