As I experience the world, I automatically form desires, aversions, and beliefs. These intentions are neither good nor bad in themselves, but if I become attached to them, I will start to suffer. I will suffer because my attention is constrained to achieving my intended ideals and this prevents me from meeting my needs and the needs of the people around me.

The suffering produced by attachment not only consumes energy, but also limits my ability to respond to what is happening. To be compassionate, I need to be sensitive to everything and everyone. Such sensitivity is not possible when I am profoundly attached because my attention and actions will be concentrated on satisfying my desires, fleeing from my aversions, and confirming my beliefs.

Compassionate action requires that I be fully present and responsive to what is happening, while also maintaining the distance that allows me to remain free of attachment. There is no escaping the paradoxical nature of compassion, and perhaps the most challenging problem of awareness is to see that this paradox is livable and that I can adopt this seemingly contradictory position.

Weekly Focus - Just Be and Do You

Weekly Focus – Just Be and Do You

Too often we spend our time trying to follow what others are doing and to conform to some image or persona in the world.  This is a time where we really just want to be who we are.  It is a time to embrace our own style and personality in the world; and be able to show that.  This is not about worrying if others approve of your style.  In fact, most want to get to know you.  They want to learn about your experiences in life and what has shaped and formed you.  They want to learn about your dreams, desires, visions.  When each of us honors being our own self, we will actually inspire each other in our own things.  Seeing how someone else is expressing something or doing things, can easily stimulate my own creative mind and give me ideas for my own work.

It is important that we don’t rush into things or act impulsively.  Spontaneity is great, as that is about seizing the moment for fun and enjoyment.  It is about engaging in life and taking advantage of an opportunity to do something or express ourselves in some way.  However, impulsiveness is rooted in persuasion.  It comes from doing something without thinking about it; and this often leaves us with the proverbial buyer’s remorse.  It is an action that is taken due to pressure from others, fear of missing out on something, and being persuaded by others with urgency.  It also can lead us to fall prey to attractions and connections based in chemistry.  We need to step away from these people and things and think about them before moving forward.  What seems like fun in the moment with these people, could become disappointment or heartbreak.

People and things from our past are likely to show up this week.  We want to be extra careful about those who we previously had strong physical attractions to.  We need to consider who we are now, who they are now, and does that actually hold long term potential.  We must know if there have been changes or if it is only a desire to revive the past.  The key is to be strongly focused on what is going to create a stable and favorable path forward.  We do not want to repeat poor choices, but we also don’t want to block ourselves from favorable opportunities.  Things we thought were lost may resurface at this time, or old memories may come to mind.

It can actually be valuable for us to remember the times in our past that we had fun, allowed ourselves to be playful, and could just be ourselves.  These are things that we may want to find ways to implement again.  Of course, some things that were okay as a child might not be okay as an adult; but many things are.  Consider singing or dancing around the house, getting excited about something, having a play day with a friend, building a sandcastle at the beach, or reviving traditions that you loved when you were younger.  I know there was always some aspect of embracing the season.  Even if your body cannot do some of the things it once did, consider a variation of it or adapt the idea to what you can do now.

The Code Journey Study Session - March 19th, 2026 - 3:00 pm EST

This is a study session for those that are working with The Code Journey by either book, through my social media posts, and through the Personal Year In Codes report. It is an opportunity to ask questions and to learn more about how to work with the current codes in order to create a stronger awareness in the human consciousness of how to work in alignment with the soul self.

This is an open discussion format where we share what is happening in our lives and learn how that is connecting to the code patterns that are currently active. I have found that we learn great in sharing our own experiences and listening to other’s experiences, as in listening we often also unfold our own connections to our own life.

All study sessions are recorded; and once registered you have access to all sessions that have happened. Recordings are normally available later that evening or the morning after the live study session. Participants can join by computer or phone.

Please register prior to the session if it is your first time; and give yourself extra time to come into the session your first time. The room is open to join in as much as 30 mins prior to starting. It is usually best to accept the sound coming in, and then to mute yourself until you are ready to share.

Daily Insights 3-15-2026

#dailyinsights from my book #TheCodeJourney

While we don’t want to cling to the past or live in it, when aspects of it surface, it can be beneficial for us.  It helps us to see what was and was not a wise choice to make.  Hindsight is a great teacher.  When we are willing to carry forward the wisdom of the past, we can use it to help us see the pros and cons of things that we are currently considering.  It helps us to see what may or may not work out for us.  Yes, things can work out differently if we have actually made changes and are doing things differently or trying for different things.  With foresight, we are taking the time to look at the consequences of our actions and choices before moving forward.  We want to consider both the short range and long range views.  Something may look good now, but may not work 5 years from now.  Something may look like more work now, but will continue to benefit us for as long as we have it or do it.  When aspects of the past surface today, ask how these memories can help you with their wisdom.  I find they often surface as a friendly reminder of what we need to pay attention to.

Battle Royale

But what was Battle Royale? Was it fact or was it fiction? Did privileged educated people really thieve from poor disabled people and expect no come back from their antics? He had to know. So he asked AI if it could impart some knowledge on the subject. It said…

Battle Royale is merely a game:

• A large number of players play it

• They start with almost nothing

• Fight on a huge map

• While the playable area keeps shrinking

• Until only one player or one team is left alive

It’s basically:

Last person standing, on a map that gets smaller, with everyone scrambling for weapons and survival.

🔥 Core Features of a Battle Royale

🗺️ 1. Big open map

Forests, cities, deserts, islands — you drop in and choose where to land.

🧭 2. Shrinking safe zone

A circle closes in over time.

If you stay outside it, you take damage.

This forces players into conflict.

🔫 3. Scavenging for gear

You start with nothing.

You must find:

• Weapons

• Armour

• Health items

• Upgrades

⚔️ 4. Elimination-based combat

When you’re defeated, you’re out.

No respawns (usually).

🏆 5. Only one winner

…….?…….

🧠 Why it’s called “Battle Royale”

The name comes from:

• The Japanese novel/film Battle Royale (2000), where students are forced to fight until only one survives

• The idea of a “royal rumble” — everyone fighting everyone

The gaming genre borrowed the concept from the novel that became a film.

Tokyo

🏙 Tokyo specifically

• Tokyo is consistently described as having very low violent crime, including murder.

• Violent crimes like murder are rare, even in a city of nearly 14 million people.

• Official commentary and crime analyses emphasize that Tokyo’s murder rate is exceptionally low compared to other major global cities.

📉 What this actually means to you and your thinking

A murder rate of ~ 0.2 per 100,000 people per year translates to:

0.2 murders per 100,000 people per year.

Tokyo’s population is roughly 14 million, so:

That’s about 2–3 murders per month, not per day.

He had been watching too many MGM Amazon crime streams lately. This was now obvious. Tokyo was not Bladerunner and no well edited production company programming was about to allow him the distortion. Tokyo was ranked among the safest major cities in the world, often #1 or near the top in global safety indexes. Violent crime was not a daily reality there. Sure he was special and the fallout had denied him the proper use of his mind but even he knew that much.

Meadow

He wondered, did the word Meadow also mean Morris? He asked AI to see if it did. This is the response he learned from.

Short answer: no — Morris does not mean “meadow.”

🌿 What Morris Actually Means

1. Latin → Maurice → Morris: “dark / Moorish”
   Most English and Welsh forms of Morris come from the Latin Mauritius, derived from Maurus, meaning “Moorish” or “dark‑skinned.”
2. Irish Norman origin: “of the marsh”
   In Ireland, Morris often comes from Norman families named de Marisco / de Mareys, literally “of the marsh.”
3. Welsh forms: linked to Maurice, not meadows
   Welsh versions (Meurig → Morus/Morys) still trace back to Mauritius — again meaning “dark,” not anything to do with fields or meadows.

🌾 So where does “meadow” come in?

It doesn’t — at least not in any documented etymology of Morris.
Names meaning “meadow” usually come from Old English roots like lēah (“clearing, meadow”) found in surnames such as Lee, Leigh, Meadows, Medley, Mead, etc.

So there, he had it, he was now in full control of everything understandable that related to the name meadow. He really couldn’t equate how fortune he really was. It had taken him only a few minutes to gain this appreciation. He was happy to be alive and learning all of these wonderous things about words and their meanings.

Compassion would fix a lot of problems but many people seem to prefer fighting over peace and solidarity.

Hatred will stay winning at this point but I’m not gonna give in to it.

I’d rather die being kind than live with hatred inside me.

taking accountability for our own realities

the heartbreak, the war, the suffering we witness- if the reality we experience is also a projection of our internals, then there is a part of us that accepts these suffering.

that witnesses way and accepts that destruction is a part of life and justified.

accept change, overcome fear, and move towards compassion not apathy.

The Third-Generation Problem: When Hollywood Forgets Who Built the Stage

Every few years, the internet wakes up, stretches, grabs a coffee, and finds a new cultural debate to chew on. Recently the conversation circled around comments from Timothée Chalamet that many interpreted as dismissive toward traditional art forms like opera and ballet.

Cue the think pieces. Cue the tweets. Cue the cultural pearl-clutching.

But beneath the gossip-blog noise and the “who said…

The Third-Generation Problem: When Hollywood Forgets Who Built the Stage

I’m restarting a new blog for people who have experienced abuse/narcissistic abuse/cluster abuse/demonic possession. I’m a survivor, too.

Don’t hesitate to unsubscribe if the content isn’t for you.

We’re going to discuss things, there will be testimonials from people, a lot of narcissistic awareness, and statements/quotes. And more to discover along the way.

A theme will soon be chosen for the blog’s appearance; it will be more entertainment. Thanks for all people interacting

Is Emperor Palpatine Our Evilness Learning

🌑 Is Palpatine unrequited evil?

If we take unrequited to mean evil that is not driven by hurt, rejection, or unmet longing, then yes — Palpatine is one of the clearest examples of evil without emotional need in modern myth.

But that’s exactly why he is interesting.

🜂 1. Palpatine’s evil is not reactive

Most villains in myth are shaped by:

• betrayal

• trauma

• loss

• humiliation

• a desire to be loved or recognised

Palpatine has none of these.

He doesn’t want love, justice, revenge, or even personal validation.

His motivations are:

• domination for its own sake

• control as a metaphysical principle

• the annihilation of contingency

• the triumph of will over nature

There is no wound he is trying to heal.

No affection he wishes he had.

No moral injury he is avenging.

This is why he is colder than ice, not tragic.

Daily Insights 3-13-2026

#dailyinsights from my book #TheCodeJourney

I often see people trying to use a lot of force to create something.  We have to be careful of this.  While it is good to have a lot of energy, excitement, or enthusiasm; we can also cross lines of manipulation or trying to force what we want.  What many miss with the aggressive approaches, it that it can often repel the very thing they are trying to attract.  This is because it is rooted is stress, tension, force, and control.  However, when we learn to relax and take a gentler approach, we put ourselves into a receiving space that invites things to come to us.  It is a space of working from the heart.  Yes, there are times where force is needed; but this is not necessary for setting blessings in motion.  Blessings naturally flow to where Spiritual Values are active.  This is not about money and wealth, but about being provided for.  Most people love to help out those who have a kind heart, do good things for others, and move through the world in a gentle way.  These people do not fear the hardships, but transform them by seeing their beauty, value, and worth.  Today calls us to take a gentle approach, stand in goodness, and be active in Spiritual Values.  The blessings may or may not be immediate, but they will come.

Pace of Life

Does the pace a life is lived at dictate the financial stability or chronic conditioning of a life? Are these two aspects of living inseparable?

Does recreational walking, running, cycling, driving, help to improve the physical good health and mental state of a life as it is lived?

there is no division within

Can recognising the intimacy within, internal feelings, responses to internal feelings, be more powerful and satisfying for a life than continuously hustling for external popularity?

Such simple and recognised acts of self awareness are attainable acts for a life. They help us to encourage balance and good health into our every moment of living.

Only practice can implement this.

You and you alone achieve this.
