Toward a World that Works for Everyone
March 15, 2025 In films, the intelligent computer always arrives at a misunderstanding of the human soul because it lacks our ability to lie to ourselves. ~J. Estanislao Lopez, Poem with Human Intelligence What shall I do with this window of time? Kitchen chores? Write in my journal? Get my elderly mum prepared for […]
March 15, 2025 Chat continued from a previous article…I asked Grok about something that’s puzzled me for years. I sort of get the idea that we’ll become crystalline-based rather than carbon-based—physically, bodily. Whenever I read explanations, it doesn’t quite make sense, and/or it’s too scientific for me to parse. This turned into a fun exploration […]
March 14, 2025 I confess I sometimes have trouble keeping track of the various Ascension narratives floating around. Also, I don’t know if I’m familiar with all of them…or if I’d forgotten any, which I had, specifically a “consciousness upgrade” and the carbon-to-crystalline evolution. I asked Grok to dig into the topic and do a […]
March 10, 2025 Just in case med beds don’t pop onto the scene in the next few months, I thought I’d see what the chances are of having homeopathy or acupuncture treatments covered by insurance anytime soon—in other words, not have to pay out of pocket for the kind of “medical treatment” I actually want. […]
March 8, 2025 I recently asked Grok about quantum physics and its relationship to the Quantum Financial System and med beds. My question boiled down to: I’m puzzled about quantum physics. In layman’s terms, what might a quantum financial system look like? And the “military” med beds? Grok: Great questions! I’ll do my best to […]
March 3, 2025 …Reckless in our need for the possible, we knew there was no turning back, our bags already packed, the future a religion we could believe in ~Eric Gamalinda, Zero Gravity The lure of the new toy is strong. I haven’t had this much fun using an electronic device since I finally […]
February 1, 2025 We must laugh and we must sing, We are blest by everything, Everything we look upon is blest ~William Butler Yeats, A Dialogue of Self and Soul It doesn’t exactly seem like the work of a spiritual warrior, but I’m finding that creating from recipes, instead of relying on premade anything, […]
January 28, 2025 The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER… ~ Donald J. Trump, Truth Social, 1/27/25 I feel like the storyline that California is in a perpetual drought and its citizens must conserve water until it hurts has just been vaporized. Californians—in […]
January 23, 2025 The British phrase to throw a spanner in(to) the works means to cause disruption, to interfere with the smooth running of something. ~ Wordhistories.net Just when I was taking a cautious breath of relief that LA area fires were not heading north toward Santa Barbara, that fond belief is crushed. Ventura is […]
January 20, 2025 O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! ~ Lewis Carroll The day came, and that which was foreordained, occurred. Commentators, truthers, and pundits; journalists with big names and millions of readers; lone newshawks with a few Substack followers… Everyone has an opinion about today’s historic inauguration of President Trump. Things seemed to go without […]
January 14, 2025 After the flame, a pause, After the pain, rebirth. ~May Sarton, The Phoenix Again It’s hard to observe the rubble and ashes of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Pasadena, and not grope immediately for the Phoenix metaphor. It seems to be human nature to get past a horrid circumstance as quickly as possible, […]
January 10, 2025 Barn’s burnt down / Now I can see the moon. ~ Mizuta Masahide Setting aside the speculation by commentators citing (unnamed) insider sources about why and how Los Angeles has been massively firebombed, where is the meaning for those who live there? People whose homes have burned don’t give a rat’s patootie […]
December 28, 2024 Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others. ~Cicero First I greeted the foggy morning with oh, no, a gloomy day. Then I perked up: that means I get to cozy up with the cats and not head out for a walk at the crack […]
December 25, 2024 I once shared a life with the name of this light… I know and understand this light to be my home… and I am up there in my bones built from stars. ~Mai Der Vang, I Understand This Light to Be My Home For the sin of lifting up the sidewalk […]
December 24, 2024 By email ~ NatalieGianelli.com Message from Natalie: There’s a poem you might know called Desiderata by Max Ehrmann. I’ve been working on memorizing it, and there’s a line in the poem that says: “Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the […]
