3G Thinking

 I found myself contemplating my 3G grandmother, and I had this thought enter my head

“Ours is not to ponder why.  Ours is but to do or die.”

And “3G Thinking” might be an odd title but I’ll go with it. 

To my 3G grandmother.  Thank you for your loving and intelligent wisdom and guidance. 😇  I wish I could hear you more often.  Or maybe I have been hearing you my whole life without knowing it. 

So the line is similar to a line from “The Charge Of The Light Brigade”

“ Theirs not to reason why,

   Theirs but to do and die.”

Question For Grandmother Marilla

A question for my grandmother Marilla:  How do people comprehend the meanings in their lives when they are struggling to understand or find them?  Can we human beings just trust that our experiences and stories are important and meaningful even when a full comprehension is beyond our own point of reference.  Grandmother Marilla, I think you may have just helped me in formulating my own question.  Isn’t that a treasure! 😇💕 Reply: All lives and experiences are a wellspring for meaning.  Every seeming lack of meaning is the precursor to a world of meaning.  In connections, there are always meanings to be found.  Meanings that will benefit others in ways as yet unforeseen. Every journey no matter its ending, has higher levels of significant meaning yet to be discovered and comprehended.  We cannot perceive the meanings of all things without first acquiring higher vistas of perception.

Empathy For Trump

Below is the question that entered my conscious thinking and felt as though it was a good topic for reflection.  Following my question is my attempt to listen and hear a reply. This is a topic that to many, including myself, is difficult to comprehend. My question:   Do spiritually mature souls feel love and empathy for Donald Trump despite the fact that he has seemingly, without any concern or pause for moral reflection, acted in ways that have caused much harm and injury to others. Reply: A spiritually mature soul will feel love and empathy in a way that is consistent with their own point of reference and comprehension.  A spiritually mature soul should not withhold any of its love and empathy due to the inability or lack of readiness of others to comprehend its meaning and significance.  So yes, if a spiritually mature soul deems it appropriate and beneficial to feel love and empathy for Donald Trump then this is what will be expressed by such a soul.   ...

Ancestral Connections

 If a person seeks to know or connect with a deceased ancestor, their wish may be granted.  Even if it is just a figment of my own mind or imagination, I suppose this still counts.  If a person is a little touched in the head or perhaps deluded by magical thinking, the experience is still real to them after all.  Marilla Cordelia Rhodes Barbeau was indeed a real person and she is indeed my maternal 3x great grandmother.  I am also indeed a real person and I am her 3x great granddaughter.  We do have a real connection in our family lineage.  I am descended from her fifth and second surviving child, Ida Barbeau Geddes.  We are connected through a direct line of mothers and daughters.  That’s a lot of daughters!! 💕💗💕 Sometime I need to count all of your descendants that I can research and find.  There are a lot of us.  I’m “especially special” though right?!! 😊
