Supernatural & The Beyond

 Dear Job Ingraham, You are my revolutionary war patriot ancestor.  I believe I have several.  Maybe someday I will work on my DAR supplementals.  That could be a fun project.  For now you are my first proven and accepted DAR connection.  Thank you for all you did and sacrificed to help our country gain its independence! 💕  I would love to know more about you and your story if it was possible.   We currently have a big problem here in America.  How it came to be is, I’m sure, a very complex story.  Our immediate big problem is our current president Donald Trump.  He is quite a story let me tell you.  He is a temporary chapter in our countries history as hard as that may be to believe for those of us who have lived under his shadow and threat for like a decade now.  We are I believe at the peak of the disaster that he has created.  I do believe his power has started slipping (I believe anyway), but beyond him, our cou...

 Disguised as fiction.  This was my creative idea for taking things that I really experience and just turning them into fictional stories so I don’t appear to be insane.  I don’t think I have done very well in this endeavor.  I think I have left an uncleaned up trail of evidence of having first believed in my fictional stories as real stories of personal experience. 🫢 It might be really difficult to clean up all the evidence. I do jest about cartoon characters and puppets.  

 I think I just heard my 3X great grandmother Marilla remind me of the story of the shared 11:38 AM births.  So this is the story.  I took a job as an overnight caregiver for a newborn baby, whose parents were both local physicians.  It was a job I was always interested in experiencing.  Well, there is something interesting about this story.  The baby I cared for was born at 11:38 AM.  His mother was born at 11:38 AM.  And I was also born at 11:38 AM.  What are the odds??!!!  I pay attention to synchronicities like this.  This is how I appreciate their meaning.  This story fits right in with my theme of crazy but true life stories.   Thank you to my 3x great grandmother for reminding me of this story.  I can hear my 3X great grandmother just laughing and laughing.  Well, I’m glad she’s amused.  I love the sound of her joyful laughter.  I think I get it now.  The reflection for myself is to ponder w...

 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.”

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.   ...

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. 

 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?!! 😊
