Maniac Mondays: Choosing a Few Things!

All year long we have not blogged anything fresh on Meady's Musings although back in April we did review some past discussions by sharing with readers on Facebook. But now in the midst of the middle of August we have come to a realization on this Maniac Monday that we should put first things first and so choose a few things and re-align the blog to some extent in the hope of keeping it active.

The whole re-think became an even more clear and present decision to be made when last night the Purple Elephant came back from South Africa where he had gone to visit his African Elephant cousins and they had made quite some fun of him! They had declared that now he could not claim any fame to make up for his smaller size (he being an Asian Elephant) as there was no longer anything purple and magical about him at all. So now he was just a smaller version of the bigger them for you see the lady from the Meady's Musings Production House had not for the year a single blog post up here! And to that the little mouse just said "Oh dear!"

But seriously before we continue our first Meady's Musings blog post for the year we would like to note the yesterday was 12 August 2012 was marked as the World Wild Life Fund's Elephant Day! And poaching for ivory has caused a 50% decline in the African elephants found in Central Africa during the period 1995 to 2007.

Now back to Choosing a Few Things! Well apart from being spurred on by the Purple Elephant's shame we at the little mouse was cleaning out some things at the Meady's Musings Production House when he found this old posting about 'Our faces...momentary pearls of the Universe' in which we also wrote about 'that scribblings guy-Aaron Ross' that is best summarized by these
two diagrams:

And the lady of the production house also saw the clip for Daniel Pink's book-Drive on a blog post at Intent:

Two Simple Questions That Can Change Your Life


And it all got everyone at the production house to thinking again as to what our purpose was and if the Meady's Musings Production House could release a one sentence press release what would it be? To be honest we are still mulling on this...

But we can tell you this much as to what we have been up to...

-We haven't be trying the vegan or raw thing these days as we've been trying to instead keep up with the gym but we do eat lots of apples still! So no need to post about that currently on a Mon although we can still be maniacal!

-We have been writing on Saturday so Studious Saturdays are in!

-We can never not be musing metaphysically so we can always shoot up a Tumultuous Thursday thought even if it does not always make it to the blog!

-We haven't been having as much fun as we should be having but for now we shall let it slide...

So what you can expect is as such...we will leave all the different days i.e. Maniac Mondays, Tumultuous Thursdays, Funtastic Fridays and Studious (not slumbering) Saturdays.

But instead of trying to post on all those days and surely rarely do any! We shall instead post weekly on one of the areas! If we feel energetic or really have something to say we shall post on more than one day too!

It is not that the Meady's Musings Production House was ever closed though...we are always open in heart and mind!

Anyway you will see the changes reflected in our blog header and be patient with us and keep us in your hearts and minds as we continue to write on Studious Saturdays about metaphysical meanderings for a fantasy novel we are working on every Saturday! We will keep you up to date on how that is going whenever we check in with you on our Studious Saturdays blogs.

Also we will (as we have as we have had every year since this blog was born in 2008) our Advent calendar this year so please look for it! :)

And seeing as it is a Manic Monday and everyone is still getting over the London Olympics 2012 we thought it wouldn't be a Meady's Musings blog if we didn't share some music or the other...and although everyone might be singing..."Always look on the bright side of life" since last night's closing ceremony! We thought it would be fitting to remind ourselves of these two favs that we've shared in the past as our theme songs that fit well with sharing our uniqueness and need to find life purpose!

Our Faces...Momentary Pearls of Universe!

This morning on Facebook I accepted a friend request. It got me to comparing...wondering about that person's life in relation to mines...but it was only for a while...cause Facebook tends to do that to us but for years I've asked and realised that there is more to life than the cookie cutter ideal we are sold growing up when we are being molded by said ideal cookie cutters! Anyway I didn't compare or wonder for long but then as I was getting dressed for work and I saw my face in the mirror I got to visualizing and thinking...hard to separate the two nowadays as I tend to more see my thoughts than think them!

Anyway it seemed to me that our faces however they are made up are really just momentary manifestations of the universe...and the universe is this fluid thing and we are just flowing forward and for a brief second we are this face and then we mix up into the universal fluid again till we ooze out and manifest again as our face grows out and takes form like a pearl...like a ripe fruit hanging at the end of a vine...That's the visualization I saw...I've tried my best to scribble it to this effect...and you will have to deal with that until I perhaps sign up for the Art class that Daniel Pink of 'A Whole New Mind' fame took! :):


Over the last six months I less and less think that things are coincidences and just when I was driving out my garage I thought to myself that I really just have to do what I came here to do after all I'm in this face manifestation only just momentarily and I'm made exactly like this and things happen exactly as they do so that I can carry out what I came here in this manifestation to do! So I should not think about what my peers are doing despite of Facebook...and really it was a much needed reminder to myself after just coming off Facebook...then I realized that however my life is currently it is how it is cause I was meant to be this way to exactly fulfill the role I came here to carry out...I was just the expression...of course not just my face but my body too...but my face I thought is just like the fruit on a tree or a pearl being formed and I thought of the universe as this big flowing growing shrub or bubbling liquid and at the end of each limb a face would bud or flow forward and harden...and to me the face is what looks in at the world and it is the divine's connection to the material world...so I saw it as my being part of a bigger universal spirit looking in with my face as the window to that brief spot or perspective of the earth today...it was my job to give the feedback to the whole and experience this face...this perspective fully...explore it so the whole could see what it was about. So really only I could uniquely do it well!

Also I saw it too that I was fluid so I'd easily dissolve back into the tree or mother liquid and get mixed up again with it... no doubt a massive fluid mixing or brainstorming exercise would go on and then I'd bud again one day as another face...another expression at the end of a bud...so right now I was just in my brief expression as this face...made exactly right now along with the rest of my body to carry out just exactly what I was meant to...!

So I kept thinking bout that and that visualization in my head and to be honest I thought about this guy on Intent called Aaron Ross who does these scribblings...and wished I was a good enough artist to draw exactly what I was seeing...and then(and I've instead tried that scribbling too like him above but it can't do justice to the artwork I saw in my visualization of course!)...so as I'm pulling out the driveway I put on the radio and the segment that is on...I've heard before...it is a part from Deepak Chopra's audio series where he is talking about the seven laws I think and he is on the law of Dharam(ma) and again he is talking about how we are just a soul having momentary human experiences...and about how he always told his kids to do whatever they wanted and he'd take care of them if they didnt make money...not everyone gets told that or have that luxury but...the main thing that stuck out for me was the soul having a momentary human experience...yes I've heard it said before but I reflected on it to realize...hmmm...it is easier said than done...I think most of us including me more see it the other way around where we have moments of soul realizations but mostly view ourselves as human beings...the whole society is set up that way...in fact the majority of society perhaps never even connects to the soul experience seriously for very long...let alone all the time!

And even the people who say it I think are caught up in doing differently cause really society is just not set up for souls having experiences here, some of which are momentarily human, but really the other way around or infact entirely about the human being as a body that is born young, develops, procreates other young bodies, takes care of them and then grows old and die. And society sets up structures around that not the spiritual really?!

Then later on in the day...I went on Intent and saw Aaron Ross... the same scribblings guy was talking about following your passion in the workplace and finding 'What is your Unique Genius' so as I say less and less these days I believe things are just mere coincidences too but intricately woven to happen and unfold just as they are suppose to...perhaps an outflowing of the mother liquid! :)
