I'm on my way .. you'll get the details later
I'll be the only hippy on row 11 at the Opera lol
what fun ..
Cosi fan tutti here I come

See ya later

I haven't been to the Opera for years.
We have good seats too, row 11, stalls.
Few people dress up to go to the opera these days.
Just as well, I won't have to get the tiara out of the bank vault lol
it is also a pity.
I like seeing people all dolled up to the nines
Tux
Evening gowns
Gloves

I've done that a few times- been to a white - tie event ; not just your black tie .. but really really formal

It's quite strange and definitely not part of my everyday lifestyle , but fun.
It's fun making the effort, hairdresser, nails , gown , proper undergarment, gloves , bag ..
There's such a lot to think about,
Gloves on or off and when ?
Table etiquette.
Polite conversation .
Out comes the Debrettes and you end up none the wiser.
Still fun.
A fantasy.
If cinderella can do it - everyone can - for the night at least.

Wear are my opera glasses ?
will binoculars do ?¨
telescope ?
*silly woman *
won't need them .. we'll be near the front ,... and besides .. it's not men it tights .. its UPROAR !!

*mira goes off to have a rumage around for glad rags *
:wave.

"Conversations with God said that what you resist persists. Often
this is misunderstood to mean that we should accept everything that
occurs or appears in our life without any attempt or determination
to change it. Yet that is not what it means.

It is perfectly okay, in spiritual terms, to seek to change any
circumstance, situation, or condition that arises in your life with
which you do not agree. Here is the key point around all of this:
Change is not resistance. To seek to alter a circumstance,
situation, or condition is not to resist it, but simply to re-shape
it into a form which is more pleasing to our eye.
Change is an act of creation. Resistance stops creation. That is the difference.

Once this is understood, we see how it is possible for great people
such as Martin Luther King Jr. or Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa to have done the work in the world that they have done. Closely
exploring these people's lives makes it clear that they never
condemned anyone or anything. Judgment was not part of their
vocabulary. Bitterness was not part of their experience. And the use of force was utterly outside of their cosmology. That is, they could not imagine it as a useful energy of change.

All the spiritual teachers across time have encouraged us to "resist not evil." This does not mean that we should never seek to create new conditions in our lives or in the lives of others. This means,simply, that we are most effective in bringing about change when we use creative energy rather than condemning energy. Resistance to anything actually places it there more firmly in our experience. You
cannot "resist" something that is not there. Therefore in the act of
resisting something places it there.

Jesus said, "Judge not, and neither condemn." He did not
say, "Change not, and neither alter." Change is good. Indeed,
Conversations with God tells us that change is the nature of life.
It goes further to tell us that the words "life" and "God" are
interchangeable. If, then, change is the nature of life, then change
is the nature of God. Indeed, the text of CwG tells us this
directly. It says, "God is change."

God, the material tells us, is a process. That process is Life
Itself. And the life is change in process. It is the movement of
atoms and molecules, the vibration of energy, the constant shifting
of The Essence to create in physical form what has been conceived at
the level of pure creation.

Resistance is the act of trying to stop something. Change is the act of seeking to modify it. There is an enormous difference.

Therefore, when confronted with any outward experience that is not
welcome in your reality, do not push back from it but rather, move
into it. Embrace it in its totality. Love it in its perfection. Then
simply use the process of creation to re-shape it into a form which
more perfectly represents Who You Are and Who You Choose to Be.

This may take time. One should not expect instant results. Instant
results are possible, but one should not expect them. Rather, be
satisfied with the process that is taking place, allowing yourself
to move with the energy as the energy moves with you, re-creating
itself and re-creating you in one motion. Have patience. Have
understanding. Have awareness. Come from a place of Total
Consciousness about what is occurring and your life will be an
experience of peace and quiet joy -- one might call it deep inner
serenity -- during all the moments of your time on earth.

This is a great promise of God. This is a great reward to those who
are Attentive. Therefore, pay attention. Notice the moment. Peer
deeply into each occurrence. Do not be confused by the illusion. And resist not evil, for "nothing is evil, lest thinking make it so."Seek gently to simply change any condition or circumstance that may
seem "real" in your life which does not speak to you of Who You Are.

This Is the Great Secret of All Masters."

I slept well
Yesterday was a long day in front of the computer
Writing , thinking , philosophising and being daft
All good.

Dreams last night :

Granddad.( IRL he died when I was 14 ) He's there , present , loving and wise. We were staying at hotel and he kisses me goodnight as he goes to his room.

Micke - my neighbour from when I lived in Lidingö gets on the little train together with his girlfriend. The time is the present. They sit a few seats down and are very lovey dovey. I get a sense of this being the last train back in the evening. after a while I catch his eye and say hello. He comes over to me and asks me questions because he has a hard time remembering me ( IRL we used to be good friends and lost touch. He's quite famous now and I see him in films and on T.V. )

When I get off while waiting for a bus a woman gives me health advice: Use your legs more .. move .. walk at least 30 minutes a day. ( !!! all good advice IRL )

Finally a bit about computers. ( still in dream world )
I ask for a memory stick for my computer but I'm not sure if it is modern enough. Man checks the back of the computer for the USB thingy and there is a door that I've never noticed before - a secret compattment . He opens it and there inside are a few gnomes and other figures including one of those mechanical dancing cindarella dolls that wind up and waltz over the floor. Its still in its box too )

That's it
Inside the amazing maze of mira maze !

Will have breakfast now
