Cyberspace - Monkey on a new adventure (Conclusion)

Han sent me a Youtube link to Liniakea. 

Scientists and Astronomers....ja-well-no-fine...now finally, that which Han writes about, can be proved...it's truly REAL! I'm chuffed that we humans are finally getting-it...I never ever doubted it!!  
The name....Liniakea....Our home supercluster....immeasurable heaven....oh, my toes curl with delight and pleasure. 
One thing intrigues me though....'our (?) home supercluster'....who or what is this 'OUR'? Is our Earth Galaxy within this 'immeasurable heaven'?  Yes, it is! Therefore, the 'our' must be us = Earth-humans?    
The word, Liniakea, is so like Han's Leilaka....co-incidence? 

OK, so this is another challenge that ruffles the Liger and Monkey fur....opening up this one! 
Click on the Youtube link? 
Have never made use of Youtube before....in my monkey-ignorance, I have no idea how it works....ai tog!! Not PC proficient...!

Gathering courage ... and ...

Golly, what a fuss this old monkey makes when confronted by something new and unknown! 

We just clicked onto the YouTube link...and whallah, there she flowed in all her magnificent Supercluster-glory...absolutely beautiful! We were enchanted! 
THIS must surely be what Han sees when, as Navigator, goes wondering off into the heavens? 
Whew! 

Indeed, life is exciting when one looks at the hugeness of it all! Amazing...!
Another LAST ponder.....the supercluster looks so like a 'super' brain-wave, a super-enlightened-thought or shift ....but then, we are made up of 'star-dust', so there should be a linking-likeness?

Cyberspace - Monkey on a new adventure

I have read an interesting book by author, scientist and computer fundi, Gregg Braden. Called, The Turning Point, he highlights that nothing will ever be as it was before! 

Our world is changing so rapidly that we humans are reeling with surprise and horror. We're no longer living in a world that is 'normal' and the 'new-normal' is one of constant change and turmoil. 
So, the 'life is a struggle . . . and the past seems much easier' sentiment is so true!! 

It's made me look at cyberspace and computers with a new eye . . . never a friend of PC's I wished for it all to go-away and return to the good old-fashioned simple email system and the odd landline conversation. 
But never again will I see this mode of communication . . . and I am sad and sorry . . . but we talk of letting-go?  
Now isn't this above-belief something Monkey has to let go of? 
Ai, she's working at it . . . working at it BIG TIME! 

Still reluctant facing the inners of a computer as she cautiously approaches the PC. And still hasn't had the courage facing YouTube . . .
OK, so the excuse is that she was soooo busy and needed to do so much, blah-blah, and now she's tired of exploring mysterious and unknown matters. All true up to a point....
....OK, OK, she'll get there...and in future, won't make any promises of when! 
Another kick-in-the-butt needed? Probableeee!
WATCH THIS SPACE....!

#TreeofLife - A heap of Misery

Tales from The Tree-of-Life

 ...a heap of misery...!

....high up in the Tree-of-Life sits a heap of misery!
It's the miserable monkey wrapped up in Arctic Gear....thick woolen keppie pulled right down over her monkey ears, mohair scarf around her scrawny neck, an alpaca shawl around her shoulders, with knee rug pulled right up to her nose!
She's surrounded by a sea of soggy tissues, and the pile increases as she empties her wet nose yet again! More are added as she wipes her streaming eyes! On her left she has a row of muti....Lennin's Borsdruppels, ViralChoiceC pills, Linctagon Throat Lozenges, nose drops, throat spray, eye drops.....aiiii tiggie, misery doesn't come any better than this!
!!...ahhhhtchooo...sniff, snifffff, cough-cough....!! Ai tog.....!!

Suddenly, Cheerful, the merry Elf, appears in front of miserable monkey....and lafffs! Nogal!   "Hey, wot you so miserable for???? It's only a cold, you know...not a life-threatening 'something', you know!!
Monkey looks at this little cheerful lot and gruffly herrumffs, telling Elf to "get lost and leave me alone in my misery!"
Elf laughs some more and sits down. Hm, seems this Cheerful Elf isn't afraid catching this miserable cold....and Cheerful continues (no way getting rid-of or stopping this annoying Elf!!) and says..."You know, if you really want to be so miserable , why not make the best it? Why don't you go right in there and feeeeel your inner-self...enjoy the whole experience....immerse yourself in your misery and your discomfort, feel it all acutely....and while you're doing that, see the funny side of it all, because it's actually very funny...hahaha!"

Huh? Enjoy? Funny??? You gotta be kiddin'!!

But, wait a second...while pulling out another fresh tissue for the flowing nose....on second thought, it IZZZ rather funny....I haven't had a good cold in years, and....ummm...Monkey begins thinking more deeply about this, and sees what a gift she's been given! She's being 'cleaned-out', rejuvenated (reprogrammed?)...oh boy, could it really be that, and not just some damned inconvenient uncomfortable random thing??? There are always so many sides to any story...and this is nothing more than just another chapter in the exciting life of Monkey!

Ahhhh, suddenly she feel much better....and together with Cheerful, she enjoys a good, strong cuppa mocha and bites into a square of 90% cocoa bean Lindt slab!

OK, so life isn't that bad after all!

!....aaaaaahchoooo, sniffff-snifffff, cofff-coffff.....!!!

....er, poor Wolfman sits down below...he too 'suffers' with me...we seem to be sharing the cold-experience together...kinda figures!

Asteroid Fun

Darling Han
....hey, there's an asteroid* flying over our heads today....um, how about you and me hitching a ride? Two Monkeys on a magic carpet?  I can just see us creating a storm...'er, a Han Storm??
Then we could explore the amazing wonders of the Supercluster around us!!
Called *2014 RC it's about the size of 'half a house'...zooming over us at a height of 35,000 - 40,000 km...just high enough for a good view! Not visible with the naked eye, and gone in a blink...but still leaving behind it's vibrations....of...???
....the 'RC' part intrigues me....kinda reckon it translates into Radiant Compassion...or Radiating Compassion?  Guess leaving behind and spreading compassion around like star-dust is just what the world needs right now...COMPASSION and LOVE!!

As easy as pie....or should that be pi ???...golly, what a fuss this old monkey makes when confronted by something new and unknown! 

55 Years Together

55 Years Together

lt so happens to be our 55th Wedding Anniversary today - and taking my mind back all those 55 years I am grateful having had our marriage last this long!

Interesting thoughts pop-up and both Liger and I said to each other = "Had we known what was to come, would we have gotten married and created 2 sons?" 

Perhaps YES, perhaps NO! 

But whatever - we are in it for the long haul and when all has been considered and sorted out this truly IS a 'marriage-made-in-heaven' because it was meant to happen and could not have been prevented!   

We signed that contract in 'Heaven' before we incarnated, so of course, we were meant to meet and become partners for life! 

Crap and all we survived these 55 years together ... with the hope that we will share a few more wedding anniversaries together!

#Hanuman - Conquer with Love

Bhakta Anjana

Hanuman

Sep 26, 2014



.... whilst I look at the Lakshmi image, I sit listening to a chant ...
OM SRIM MAHA-LAKSHMYAI .... the Universal Mother and Shakti (power) of Preservation ...."Goddess of Wealth and Abundance"
.... I am enchanted by both chant and Lakshmi ... she is beautiful and enchanting!! The chant brings peace and healing!!
She sits on her 'thousand-petaled' lotus flower, holding two more lotus blossoms in uplifted arms ... she looks so serene and happy while all around her the abundance flows ... coins, fruit, peace and love!!  On either side the Sacred Elephants pour 'holy water' in abundance .... the whole time the chant flows around me ... listen carefully, Dear One, hear it and join me. Hold my hands and let us sway and chant together in unity and love!!

Now the CD has moved onto the lilting chant....RAMA LAKSHMANA JANAKI .... there is a taste of  Hanuman.....ah, what bliss ... !!

All of that beauty kinda cancels out all that other bollocks, crap and bumph that's going on out-there....!

However, on ground level, I feel we have been 'reading-the-same-book', observing and 'seeing' the same things???  Global chaos, fear, illness and general unrest and mayhem! An agenda being played out, a take-over of humanity, all in the name of total control and power. And most folk don't realize what is happening ... ai tog!!

But there is an antidote ... the perfect non-violent solution ... as the wise and peaceful Mahatma Gandhi said .... "Whenever you are confronted with an opponent conquer him with LOVE !"

Oh yeah ... that's what I am constantly practicing ... over and over again, I focus on my Heart Chakra ... I engage my innate Heart's intelligence ... it has a wisdom all of it's own, and will know where to go.
So, Beloved Ones, take heart ... we are in the protective Hands of THE CREATOR .... and starting today, I join in the Durga Puja worship .... and even as I type this, in the background I hear the chant ... SARASWATHI, MAHALAKSHMI, DURGA-DEVI NAMAHA .... "Goddess power of creative inspiration, Goddess power of noble wealth and abundance, Goddess power of invincible safely. Salutations!"
Oh my, coincidence? No, of course not!

Beloved Hanuman - Miracle-Maker ... you open minds and make us aware of different ways of existence ... and we thank you!

Happy first Birthday to my Guru

Happy Birthday Han!

  Up in the Tree-of-Life there is much activity going on!
The scuffles, the gigglings, the twitterings, the rustlings of the leaves as the movement disturbs them, the to-ings and fro-ings...heen-en-weer....so much noise and mayhem, that it looks as if something BIG is about to happen...!!   The Tree-of-Life moves so much that any minute it might topple over!  EISH!
So what exactly is going on up-there/in-there?

   Monkey flits from one busy spot to another, checking up on everything, shushing everyone, telling them to stop-all-that-noise, concentrate and get on with the job 'at-hand'.. um, 'at-paw', or 'at-wing'...or whatever 'appendage' is being used at that point!!   She tells them to "Tone it down a bit, you guys...we don't want the whole Universe to know about this, guys!!"
So, what exactly IZZZZ going on????

    Well, it's a bit of a secret, although the way this lot is going on, the whole Kingdom is going to know         thaaaat         (I'll whisper this)     we're planning a surprise birthday party for our beloved Han!
SHHHHHH....don't say a thing...it's a SURPRISE, OK?

     Tomorrow, someone will take the Han-Entity up-there = it might even be Monkey herself? ....and then we will all sing and dance with happiness because She incarnated upon Earth on the 22nd November!  What a gift She has given us!  Life has never been the same since H arrived....we recognize the Greatness within Her!
It MUST be celebrated! And we will celebrate with gusto and delight!  Eat, drink, dance...what merriment...!

    So, get on with the icing, you guys -- hey, get those Sliggs out of here...they're sticking their dirty feelers into the bowl of icing!!! And get that cake out of the ant-hill (yes, even the Ant-entities are helping out here!) The cookies...the cookies...who's in charge of the cookies ???? Oh yes, the Faery-People are....what with their Fairy Treats and Tarts ... and who organized the coffee? The Java beans are somewhere...golly, that's probably my department...better get going and begin roasting them...all in readiness for tomorrow....the 22nd November! The milch cow on stand-by....?

   Wonder how the Magnificent and Wonderful Han is feeling today? Any progress, Monkey wonders  ??   Going with what plopped into the monkey-mind at the time, all would be revealed, become clearer and fall into place by the 22nd!  Ah well, if nothing has happened, then 'monkey-timing' is a bit out of sinc!
 
But right now, all we can say - because the occasion has not yet arrived - HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!
Anyway, there's a party coming up .....so let's get back to work, Guys....no standing around gossiping and talking...whew, being the coordinator is jolly hard work...the 'staff' is unruly and uncooperative...but, shame, they are looking forward to this very special party, so I must curb my impatience at having everything perfect!
Life was never meant to be perfect...in fact if it were (perfect) how boring life would be!!

   Han, Beloved One, Liger growls his best wishes to his bestest friend...and Monkey jumps with joy that she met you....we both love you dearly!       :-)   &   :-D       !!

#TreeofLife - Laundry Day Blues

Oct 4, 2014

Laundry Day Blues

Our much-needed and trusty washing machine has a problem!!
It isn't working...kaput, finished en klaar!! Keeps on tripping out and the technician who came and had a brief look, couldn't actually find out what was bugging it!
And this bugs me because this fancy job of German origin was supposed to last us a long time without any problems. We've only had it for 4 years and it should have lasted much longer that that,...hmmm, was supposed to be the 'best' on the market...all sales talk!

Repairing it is our only option, of course, but good technicians are a little thin on the ground!

But we'll find the right person...he's out there and we'll find him, for sure!
OK, so in the meantime we'll be visiting the laundromat diagonally across from us....a new experience for Monkey who has always prided herself that she can do it all alone!

Never needed or wanted extra help, but now need help with the 'heavies'...the sheets and the towels...everything else can be hand-washed, not a job Monkey enjoys, but needs to be done never-the-less!

So here goes, soft little monkey-paws into the soapy tub...and happily (what??...happily??...you gotta be joking!!) scrub away!!

So life carries on despite the washing machine blues and all.

But nothing is too overwhelming, everything can be overcome!
I find inner strength that surprises me, especially when everything is looked through a humorous filter!

And the washing is washed (with great love) by hairy monkey paws while my hairy ears pick up heavenly sounds wafting out of my very ancient little radio! And I sing along lustily when something tickles my fancy!!
Ha! Life certainly has its magic moments, even when doused in a haze of OMO soap bubbles!
And the laundromat is becoming a very familiar place....it's a great help with the 'heavies'!! Nice lady in charge!

I spoke to a friend whose (once-upon-a-time) wash-day blues astound me! Here is the petite Han with a belly-full-of-baby bending over a bath filled with laundry. And then later with Babe strapped to back, she goes and fetch water from the nearest stream....and I think I have problems!  Ha!  

What an experience....but this is just another Earthly experience.  And I love what she said at the end of our conversation....
she is grateful for where she currently is in her life...a life of much less physical struggle, but more challenging!
Maybe more challenging for her this time around, but not so challenging that it overwhelms her. She is an example for us less-challenged folk....she gets on with it regardless.

Life was never meant to be easy...it is meant to BE LIVED!  And to be fully EXPERIENCED....laundry day blues and all!

Mahasamadhi of Mithrya

What a transformation...!
From the physical, bio-suited Annatjie we got to know (and love)...to the beautiful JADE in The Chronicles of Han....to the magnificent BEING she has now become...MITHRYA!!
When we remember the one AJM, what do we actually get? A package, a parcel, all wrapped up into one LIGHT BEING!

Her physical lives are over....and now something new, wonderful and beautiful has emerged.
And Han, who paid a heavy price for her freedom, now deserves his transformed Jade at his side! I rejoice!!

We on Earth remember....the PUJA FLOWER SHRINE....I delight in these photos!!
How our AJM loves it! This is precious to her, especially because it was created and set-up by her beloved "Little Angels"!
I can almost hear Annatjie, asking..."What have I done to deserve this?"....the way Annatjie used to say when someone presented her with a gift!

Yes, I confess....every time we pass the place she used to live I have a twist in the gut....every time we are at the shop, I look out for Annatjie...my eyes wonder into the coffee shop...I might just spot her having a cuppa in there...alas, habits die hard....!!

But I know....I know....where the REAL Annatjie is....I know who and what she has become...but the conditioned mind still plays tricks with me and makes me believe that I might just spot her in the flesh somewhere. How much more difficult it must be for those who aren't in-the-know? But that isn't my concern...it is my own Earthly issue that I need to be concerned about, and then, deal with it!
I am so-so grateful for what I know about the whole wonderful, enriching 'story' behind the life of Mithrya...!
You see, this little old Monkey has inside information, privileged beyond comprehension. I may come and go as I please into many areas and have been invited to host a special get together with our Beloveds.

Ahhhh, Dear One...the Monkey has been planning up a storm! The Rejoice gathering in The Tree of Life has set her monkey tail all a-twitching!! She wants it to be a real grand and perfect affair, but thankfully some sanity prevailed and she's had to tone down her schemes somewhat! Her excuse is that, because it's the first visit with Mithrya after her departure, she wants to go overboard with everything in this Mocha and Eats occasion, make it as delicious and spectacular as she can...
But eating and drinking is not the real aim of the whole affair, is it? This is much more than merely stuffing our faces (furry-mug, in my case!) with goodies!
It's a beautiful and thought-provoking celebration of CHANGE and LIFE!!

"A thought", I asked my dearest Han..."a few moments of your precious time, please...I know how busy you are right now with all these re-settling arrangements concerning Mithrya....I understand that our beloved Being needs a little time adjusting to the newness of it all. She needs to settle in, get the feel of things around her, explore everything!
Oh gee, it's all so new and exciting for her in her new environment, your true home...
....er, has she discovered the shape-shifting statue yet? And the twinkling, talking trees? And...and...and...???
Now the Koi-type-Fish will receive a little bit of attention....I know that you are often far too occupied and pre-occupied giving them your full attention...but now they have Mithrya ....and she's already telling them how much she loves them...sweet!"

Oh, my enthusiasm runs away with me..I prattle on....I really have to step back now and stop being this overly excited monkey-animal....!
No, seriously, our planned get-together is an open invitation! Whatever planning goes into it, whatever this Monkey decides to serve...whatever...it all happens in an instant at any time...at the clap of my four paws, everything is laid-out and ready....oh, how to curb my enthusiasm....jump-jump-jump....
....oh, it's going to be such funnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!

Enough prattle for now...I push my luck too far....
..... infinite LOVE and GRATITUDE....
Bhakta-Anjana!
Teee-heee!

#TreeofLife - ANGELS @ WORK! - A cyberspace Xmas Tale

ANGELS @ WORK! 
- A cyberspace Xmas Tale

16th December.....
......grrrrrrrrr......once again the connection between us is broken....Internet out...seems it's a big problem in our area, stretching far and wide....and we are told, told that TELKOM "is working on the problem..." 
Ahhhh weeell....no good griping...I am still 'talking' to my beloved Han even if it's just via PC screen and in thought. This email will be sitting in SAVE until the Net has been restored... 
....it will plop into her In Box eventually!
Hopefully our connection will once again be restored....angels are working full-time with this one....

x x x

Ai toggie...today is the 23rd December! 
And we're still sitting high-and-dry, Net-less!
Not that nothing has been done about our net-less problem....on the contrary...we've had Telkom coming and going, doing their thing...twiddling and fiddling, tweaking and twaddling, pushing and pulling...and even trying to 'do' something from some magic-box somewhere....but the silence is still overwhelmingly present....with zilch connection! 
We've had so much attention....without a solution! It's a puzzle?? Hmmmm...???? Makes one wonder....??? 

....at times I feel so frustrated and stranded.....almost sick in the tummy with 'alone-ness'! 

And then something else washes over and through me...a thought, a warm wash of love and deep understanding....! A feeling that something greater than the obvious is happening here! 
It's not about being Internet-less and un-connected....it's so much more than that! I'm guessing it has something to do with........????....hm...??...some inner fear or belief......????.....needs pondering over........???....what do I need to address...hmmmm??? Ponder-ponder....! 

I am not alone...I know that!  Mithrya holds my hand and guides me through this....she's also trying to get my attention in some way...my ears close-up and that high-pitched sound (that I 'hear' so often!) whizzes through the hearing-passages...and I understand this to be a whispered truth (or message) flitting through my being from....who.....what? 
Han is also getting through to me somehow! I FEEL it!!

But if I look at all of this from a surface-level....the technicians I have met through this episode....each and everyone, those who came to have a look, and those to whom I spoke via telephone....all of them have been helpful and kind...all have treated me with respect and understanding! I am so impressed by their vibes! 

Yes, this is just about the worst time getting anything done. Everyone has that slowing-down, exhausted, brain-shutting-down feeling...it is Xmas after all, so how can one expect 100% attention? Everyone (who has a Telkom problem) wants to be fixed-up and on-line....so many demands, so many angry words spoken.....well, Monkey steps out of this, and knows that her turn will come when the time is right.....! 
So, I wait patiently.....and send goodwill to the Telkom crew who are truly doing their very best getting this all going...! 

I do miss the 'talking', via cyberspace....but it will be restored soon enough.....

x x x 

24 December!
.....now this was a long and tiring journey...this mod. tech. and Monkey....
oh dear, the two don't gel...in fact, they often don't even get close to each other! 
Monkey certainly has no understanding of IT!   Ha!  

But with patience, and lots of it, with belief, with trust (alas, at times all very thinnnnnnnnnn on the ground!!) we get the results we want!! 

ANGELS were certainly @ WORK! 

Telkom had a hitch and a crinkle in the cable-line ...somewhere ...but it took a while finding this out! 
In the meantime Monkey and Liger chewed their claws right down to the quick!! Yuk! Acquired a few more grey hairs in the process as well....ahahaha! 

With neighbours, friends and family.... as well as those in the ethers...think of Mithrya....all worked out in the end! 
Lesson learnt (or at least ONE lesson learnt!) ... never, never, never, NEVER give up hoping!! 
Never stop believing in the goodness and kindness of people...never give up on ANGELS @ WORK!! 
Things do work out in the end, even if the result is not the expected result! 
So, Monkey are connected once again.....WHEW! Thank you, Universe!! 

Oh boy....Monkey now needs a good strong cuppa coffee  and a square or two of the Groxes' Delight!
I'm   sooooooooooooooooooo    happeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! :-) :-D  !!!!!!!!!
