All of my wisdom may be summed up in this one word, "Love".Love is not a command...
Love is a gift... Do not force it,
For Love cannot be forced,
And Love requires no forcing; Be Patient, Be Gentle with Yourself...
This is not contrary to your true nature;
You have the power to Love...
It is within you at this moment... Think "LOVE"... Be persistent,
And you will remember
(You will not forget)
What LOVE means to you. If you have the power of speech,
then speak the word;
Moisten the lips,
Prepare the ear. Who is not moved by this sound;
This sweet sound of "love",
which only grows sweeter,
the more frequently,
the more readily,
it is spoken. IP: Logged |

What a great question! I have many people who come to me for advice on love relationships...I tell them to set the other person free, if they come back to you with love then it was meant to be. And treat everyday and every conversation that you have with the ones you love like it will be the last words you will ever speak to them. "I love you" is the last thing I say to everyone at the end of a conversation. I also give a lot of advice on raising children. I have wonderful kids that are well behaved and do not have a lot of problems. I let kids be kids and let them be who they really are. There is nothing wrong with not "being up their butts" all of the time. Mistakes have to be made in order to learn. And I would give the wisdom of finding yourself and being content with who you are. Never let anyone tell you that you cannot be who you really are. I wish that someone would have said those words to me when I was younger. Above all else I would say to all....DREAM OUT LOUD! You can only become what you were meant to be if the universe knows what you are up to! Love to all,
Irish

If someone wanted me to share my wisdom, I guess it would depend on the meaning. Knowledge can be easily comprehended, but all the true wisdom that i have has been gained through experiences.IP: Logged |

I could give them the key. show them the door, but they must go through the door themselves when they are ready. Wisdom cannot be transfused like blood. One as it is said: must teach a man to fish, not give it to him. Wisdom imparted is only a taste until the person has experienced the things in life that lead to wisdom. Love is certainly one of the keys, but not the only one.  IP: Logged |

HSC. You are going to be a terrific Dad!
Fayte, can I have a key? I promise, I won't bend it! (You have probably already given me several, but I'm a bit thick.)
Besides all the love, freedom, happy keys, I'd have to say to someone, "Think outside the box!"IP: Logged |

Philbird! And how would you like that key packaged? I know you won't bend it, you haven't yet!  You seem to be a very loving person and possess much more wisdom they you seem to give yourself credit for! I totally agree with "thinking outside the box"! Also pulling one's head out of the sand or their own arse so to speak!  IP: Logged |

Fayte, are you reading my mind? I was just thinking about the transition between joking and being just plain silly and how in my "real life" I am a very deep person that is very aware of when my ego is in the way of spiritual growth. I am not "book smart," I listen, and observe the serious stuff. My ego comes out here as "I just gotta say something funny." Perhaps it's a release. But it also a necessity for me. Other than my hubby and son, I don't communicate much. So I don't have much of an outlet for my sense of humor. I hold a lot of funny observations in.
This site is a sounding board for me. Where am I in my life. I listen to everyone, their tone, intentions, their wisdom. I lurk, but still have a prescence. Does that make any sense?  By the way, what color is the key? IP: Logged |

Philbird -It makes perfect sense. And thank you, that was very sweet of you to say, and I think you must be right. God, it just breaks my heart to hear parents speaking coldly to their children. Both, for the sake of the child I can see, and the child I can sense inside the parent. I want to speak warmly to the child in all of us. Bless you,
And Bless the sweet delight your good humor blesses us with. IP: Logged |

Philbird ... Im certain he will be, as he will be a great partner, friend, teacher, philosopher, musician, actor ... You see, he had mastered the art of selflessly loving humanity while seeing all its fault a loooong time ago, and only now is he realizing the true potential of his gift. IP: Logged |

Steve-O, That was beautiful! I would talk about being true to yourself. Respecting yourself, loving yourself, treating yourself well. Selfish is not a bad word. We must take care of ourself first. If we haven't taken care of ourself, we are no good to others... especially our children. IP: Logged |

GEEEEZ! Philbird! ARE YOU READING MY MIND? We seem to have a sympathetic connection going on here! I absolutely love it! I too have a different sense of humor, dry, and warped. Sometimes beyond the ridiculous. I can be laughing so hard on the inside that I forget to show it on the outside, and if someone or something just pushes the right button, I'll end up laughing myself to tears of great mirth! I am told I am too serious, and have no sense of humor. HA! wrong! It just doesn't always show. I too am a wee bit of a recluse, having for the most part my husband and my numerous discarnate friends to talk to. I make people nervous in person, until they get to know me. Then they say they've never felt so comfortable around anyone in the way they are with me. But first they have to get past their judgements. I am not your typical looking person. No, I'm not a troll, but I have been told I present an imposing figure, something otherworldly about me etc. Go figure, with what I do! Also
I am not into girly stuff, nor am I masculine, yet my personality is decidedly more masculine/ambiguous than feminine. People just don't know how to react to me at first. Especially women! It is so strange talking to women here, in an enviroment where the book can't get judged by it' cover. Even with men its easier, since they can't see me, and can't talk to my chest. God how I detest that!
I too love to observe people! And by the way, book smart is not everything! I read alot, always have, but due to circumstances beyond my control could not afford college even though I have an IQ of 160. What you experience, understand about life, love, and the human condition..this is what really matters in the big picture!
Back to humor. Yes it is a release, a wonderful and at times even a catharsis, an almost excruciating bursting forth from the very depths of one's soul!!!
Hmmmm...the key... I think it might be the color of a peacock feather, the greens and blues and golds, all swirled and irridescent, soft and elegant, exotic and mysterious, but usefull too, not just lovely. Yes a peacock feather hued, key for you, or a bird of paradise tail feather color.
Hey! Gotta help pick up the yard! Later!

fayte.m ~
I had to post, at this point, to you  I have and, always do, enjoy reading your posts. They are an echo of my own knowledge, that being in the intuitive ' knowing ', not in terms of my I.Q. Your post above, has described in many ways, how I feel and, how others encounter me, too. The exceptions being, I.Q and, the problem with folks who, for reasons unknown, have conversations with chests. Even as I do not have a chest worthy of a good chat,... I too, hate seeing this happen and, not for even a second, out of jealousy! I'm, quite content, in my own skin. So, anyway. Not to intrude on yourself and, Philbird's corrosponding but, I felt very compelled to say Thank You, for sharing your insight. I believe that it is a gift ~ geminstone IP: Logged |

Thanx Libra Sparkle.I concur with what you wrote too. Thats the precise lesson I've needed to learn;
If I'm not gentle with myself,
I will not have the strength to be gentle with others. "Only the gentle are ever truly strong." - James Dean IP: Logged |

geminstone! Thank you so much! I try to help where and when I can. I always figure that all the things, bad or good that have happened to me are actually both blessings. I can understand better the myriad things other experience. As far as the IQ business, I rarely bring that up. It is just that it was on my mind because of some posts bemoaning the loss of being able to go to college, or angst over trying to go. Also some people have said they are not very well read or whatever. I wanted to make the point that high intellegence is not the end all to be all, and neither is college. Yes, both can be desired, but people shouldn't tear themselves up over either. Life means much more than that! Again thank you so much!

Thanks everyone! I always found that when taking tests of any kind to determine "intellect," there aren't enough options! I'm a "but what if" person!Girly stuff? No!
Looks? I blend.
Also more masculine than feminine. I'm a person, not a sex!
Chest? None!
Personality? Passive.
Gait? Walk like a guy! Peacock feather? Hmmmm. IP: Logged |
