![]() The previous gifts of listening and questioning will always be at the forefront of discernment. In this new Age of Information, we can easily get this line blurred. Discernment comes from trial and error in life experiences. We need to trust that the knowledge and skills we keep will serve us for a lifetime. Anything that is fake or false cannot be trusted, and can never have any lasting foundation. Like a good relationship between two people, it's built on trust. By coming into contact with anything that is false, we can then search for the truth. This is where it all begins, a rebirth, like an eggshell cracking open. We will never grow or develop spiritually without discernment. It can cleanse our wrong thoughts and wrong beliefs that do not serve us and this can increase our level of consciousness. Listening to our own voice recordings of personal meditations can change our life by reprogramming our brains. Listening to our own words as in personal affirmations can empower us immediately. Listening develops our emotional intelligence. In hindsight, we can then correct our perceptions and wrong thinking if we responded in a less mature manner. Listening well is a skill that can teach us to respond accordingly with emotional astuteness. The sound of the words in a Ponzi scheme by a grifter is different from the sounds in an act of kindness from the first responder in a rescue situation. The sound of a gunshot is different from the roar of a lion. You can listen to a sound and identify it. The skill of listening is as nuanced as various languages and various cultures. You may not see the fire, but you heard the warning of someone screaming "Fire!" and could get out of harm's way. The transmission skill of listening is more powerful than sight. It takes time, a lifetime because it's our purpose for being alive. Transmission skills for developing a higher consciousness become the tools to further develop our spiritual awakening. As adults, we can begin to question our life experience by choice and further expand our consciousness for a greater understanding of our perceptions and alternative perceptions that can develop inner peace through wisdom. We will learn to search for a variety of solutions for comfort and understanding. In juvenile years, the trauma experience is now able to help us grow and expand spiritually. As a baby, it's trauma from hunger, a dirty diaper, needing to be touched and you will cry until the problem is solved. It usually comes from an experience of trauma that suddenly forces you to want to stop feeling the discomfort of emotional or physical pain. As your development happens and life experiences became more thought-provoking and challenging, your questions can and will awaken your spiritual consciousness. Your senses will cause you to raise the question.Īm I? Do I? Can I? Before you can use language, you will first begin to question your ability to take action from a thought that came from something you transmitted by the five senses that you then perceive with possibilities. ![]() This is the source of the first gift of our spiritual life. Our sensory perception of the world transmits the vibration that creates our reality of the world in the present time. It has been said that all the books in the world and that have ever existed are misinformation. Self-similarity means that the pattern is the same, whether it's cell structure or electrical patterns. Reiteration means that the cellular structure is repeated, cells multiply as a continuation of the whole structure. The construct is fractal because of reiteration and self-similarity. Water keeps it all together in one construct which began from two powerful types of cells a zygote and ovum. Humans are a fractal construct of particles in infinite reduction, smaller than atoms. Humans receive vibrational transmissions from the world around them via the five senses. You have your five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. ![]() Humans can also experience the natural phenomena of a raised consciousness. You grow, you experience living, you work, you marry, you have children, you pass on.

Talking someone or something down in public is a great way to build yourself a bad reputation, perhaps even worldwide - keep it to your close buds, I’d say. Irish trad music is very much bound up in Irish cultural mores. It’s not unusual to find people who know people one knows halfway across the world (part of the reason that Irish people always start off the first half hour of meeting someone by trying to figure out who they know in common), or who knows someone one is talking about.Īs Glauber mentions, you never know who has taken classes from Conal, either, and who might be reading this. Conal doesn’t just play with power and drive (although that’s certainly an important part of his own style, which has been very influential) and I know for a fact that the melody of a tune is very important to him, having watched and listened to him teach… If you don’t like someone’s style, certainly you can say so, but that doesn’t mean insulting the player is a good idea.īesides which, this is an extremely small community world-wide, and in terms of the Net, getting smaller.

Tuna isn’t the biggest fish in the ocean, of course, but it’s one that is extremely popular and eaten very often by kids and adults of all ages. The more small fish those big fish eat, the more mercury builds up in their bodies. A rule of thumb is that bigger fish tend to have higher mercury levels than smaller ones, because they are higher up in the food chain. It’s both an element found naturally in the environment and a byproduct of manmade pollution. Mercury is found throughout the ocean, and is present to some degree in every kind of fish you could choose to consume. (Note that the type of tuna in pouches is the same as what’s in cans, but we did not test pouches.) ![]() Light and skipjack varieties, for instance, contain much less mercury on average than albacore tuna. ![]() We found a wide range in mercury levels between types of tuna as well as among different brands. adults, and about 10 percent eat it at least once a week.īut tuna, like many other types of fish, often contains mercury, which can be toxic to adults and is of particular concern to children, infants, and, especially, pregnant people.īecause so many people eat tuna, and because of its potential risks, CR tested five popular brands of canned tuna for mercury: Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea, StarKist, Safe Catch, and Wild Planet. ![]() About a third of Americans eat it two or more times a month, according to a November 2022 nationally representative Consumer Reports survey (PDF) of 2,185 U.S. Cheap, convenient, and full of protein and essential omega-3 fatty acids, canned tuna is a classic staple in kitchen cabinets, delis, and school lunchboxes across the country. ![]() ![]() Shelley Hoffman & Robert Pincombe directed by Jamie Whitney - Surprise Ruby / written by Kate Barris directed by, Jamie Whitney - Ruby's birthday party / written by Kate Barris directed by Jamie Whitney - Ruby's birthday present / written by Patrick Granleese directed by Jamie Whitney - Ruby's safari / written by James Backshall directed by Jamie Whitney - Max's mud bath / written by Patrick Granleese directed by Jamie Whitney - Max's last lizard / written by Shelley Hoffman & Robert Pincombe directed by Jamie Whitney - Ruby Riding Hood / written by James Backshall directed by Jamie Whitney - Max and the beanstalk / written by Patrick Granleese directed by Jamie Whitney - The froggy prince / written by James Backshall directed by Jamie Whitney.
