Time is something that I've never considered a friend. It's too slow when I need it to speed up. It's too fast when I need it to slow down. Now, in my 30's, I'm seeing that Time IS my friend. Time is a gift from Father/Mother/God. It is there for us to learn to slow down and smell the coffee. It's there for us to learn to hurry up, and always be there when we are needed. Time is something that we can bend to suit our needs, and that can bend us to suit someone/something else. Like most things, the affect or effect of Time is something that we must choose.
Choice is something that frightens some, and liberates others. Choice is what makes us human, and gives us a leg up on other animal species. It is what defines Free Will. "They" say human beings are the only ones who have free will. The longer I watch Phynn, I bed to differ that point. Phynn makes his own decisions. He decides when he eats. He decides when he sleeps. Phynn decides when I sleep for that matter!

Caprica College - The Place of Dreams
Today was a great day for me. I'm completely exhausted, terrified, apprehensive, but excited and thrilled! I'm finally a College Student once again! Unfortunately I'm having to take a computer class that I've already had at another school, but the credit didn't transfer. That's okay, because that class was in teh 90's, and I'm positive programs have changed a wee bit. LOL I'm also taking an art class, and among the choices of art classes was a film appreciation class. I'm rather looking forward to that one. However, the instructor is at NE campus, and it says there is a lab. I'm hoping that lab is simply watching certain films, and that I don't have to end up going to NE campus all that often...AT ALL. My secret is: After looking at the cost of books for the computer class, I'm strongly thinking about getting out of that, and taking a sociology class that I'm sure I need for my degree anyway. We'll see what happens.
Tonight was a 5 hour marathon of the last 5 episodes of Caprica. They had canceled the show last fall, which thoroughly ticked off multitudes of people. However, in true SyFy style, although they had massive public outcry (like the did with Firefly!), they still canceled. Anyway, they stopped showing the remaining episodes that they had already filmed and had in post production! The only people who were supposed to be able to see it were Canadians and anyone who bought Caprica on DVD. Bastards! LOL Syfy grew a damn brain, and showed the remaining 5 episodes tonight. I didn't know anything about it until yesterday, and I watch SyFy all the time. Their marketing department SUCKS! They can't produce great shows like Firefly and Caprica because they don't advertise them....so no one watches them until it's too late. However, a stupid ass movie about a piranah and octopus have a love child, and it tries to destroy the world is marketed to death! Typical morons. Next, they will market a movie about pot smoking Yeti's from outerspace...oh wait....they already have!
Anyway, I got to see the end of my show, and get signed up for classes! YAY! Go me! LOL Ask and ye shall receive! LOL

Morning meditation 1/4/2011
It is still very strange writing or typing 2011. I'm sometimes reminded that we are coming closer and closer to December 21,2012, then I laugh. It's not that I discount the hypothesis, I believe that there is a possibility that 12/21/12 will be an "apocalyptic" day. However, I don't trust the notion. There is a fundamental difference there. Do we really expect that the Mayans had nothing better to do than make a calendar that goes on and on to eternity? I don't think so. They had to stop sometime! That said, if something Does happen on that day, I will not be surprised! LOL
As for me, I am looking to the future. I'm trying to live in the here and now, and be present. However, it's the future I'm looking too. I found out tonight that Tarrant County College is offering the education classes at south campus now. I've been very frustrated with TCC for years, because any programs worth taking were all at campuses that were clear on the other side of the county. Tarrant county is a BIG county! Now, they are offering just what I need at the nearest campus to me (once I get moved!). Only a certain number of credits transfer to university, and I'm almost at that number. I can probably go another semester or two at TCC, but hey, it's cheaper than university! My next big decision: What university do I transfer too?!
I'm looking at all the Universities in the DFW area. I want to stick to the ones in Fort Worth, maybe Arlington. That leaves me with Texas Christian University, Texas Wesleyan, and University of Texas at Arlington. TCU and TWU are great schools, but they are private and the tuition and fees totals approx. $31,000/year. UTA's tuition and fees come out to about $8,000/year. I'd LOVE to go to TCU, to be honest. However, I'm sure it's going to be UTA. LOL Maybe they will have a park and ride to UTA from Fort Worth?! LOL Yeah right! The bright spot to having to drive into Arlington 2-3 times a week for classes? I can go eat at Cafe Pulido's for lunch!! hahahaha
Let me think of my Spiritual lesson of the day.....oh yes! Brenda and I were talking earlier about blind faith, and how we were taught that blind faith is only applicable when you are speaking about spiritual matters. My argument was that spiritual matters shouldn't be a matter of it's own. Every matter is a spiritual matter, because Mother/Father/God is in everything, is everywhere, just simply IS. Therefore, no matter what the matter, it IS a spiritual matter. Hence, blind faith applies to all aspects of life. I'm not saying that anyone should walk about with their heads in the clouds, and never look to life. I'm not saying that at all. I'm just saying, that sometimes blind faith applies when you are being bossy, demanding, or when you just have the "But I want it NOWS!" Father/Mother/God will give you what you need, when you need it, and how. What you want, when you want it, and how you want it matters very little. For me, this is where blind faith comes in. I *generally* don't sweat things much anymore. Example: I want a house with a yard. I go on blind faith that Mother/Father/God has already chosen just the right place for us to be in the moment. I KNOW that it is provided, and it's only a matter of timing of when it will presented to me. Does that mean that I don't go out and drive around, write down addresses and phone numbers of rent houses? No, absolutely not! It means that when I find the right one, Father/Mother/God will let me know. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't one on Wonder Dr, or Wonder Ct! LOL
I need to go to bed now, because I'm supposed to get up in the morning and go to TCC to try to get registered for classes. On one hand I'm excited!! On the other, I don't wanna get up!! Oh well, such is life.

Morning Meditation 1/2/11
God is absolute good, everywhere present. There is no opposing power in the universe, only God. If there is only God in the universe, then we are expressions of God. I'm listening to a podcast of a Unity Church of Fort Worth sermon from several weeks. I'm finally understanding on a human level what Oneness really means. It's not that we are one bride of the church, but one consciousness with God. There's such a vast difference in the meanings. It amazes me how much I already understand, yet how little.
Rev. Roach is saying that when we were kids and were taught that God is this old man with a long flowing white beard sitting on a throne int he clouds, that we were being taught that God is outside of ourselves. It is kind of limiting on how close you can feel to a creator who is so high above you, not just figuratively but also literally. When you think of how God is in everything, he sees everything, he knows everything, he is always, then in my mind for as long as I can remember the concept of a divine creator, I've always wondered, "if He is so far up there, and out of reach, then how much can he care about little ole me?" The truth of the matter is, He isn't anywhere, he isn't in any space and time. To say that limits his omnipotence. God is We. We are in all things, at all times, in all space. The God consciousness that we are born with comes to light in the darkest of hours. God is good, God is great. We are good, We are great.
"Constantly regard the universe as one living being, having one substance and one soul; and observe how all things have reference to one perception, the perception of this one living being; and how all things act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating causes of all things which exist; observe too the continuous spinning of the thread and the contexture of the web."
- Marcus Aurelius
