Baba the Cosmic Barber

Baba is the "Cosmic Barber" from Pushkar, Rajastan, India. (And for the record...he's also been referred to as the "World's Greatest Barber".) He provides basic barber services and afterwards offers his customers a massage called Champissage. However, the massage isn't ordinary, it's cosmic. Baba says that he harnesses "cosmic energy" and transfers it to his clients during the massage.

Admiration: My Realization

"Admiration is the daughter of ignorance." - Benjamin Franklin

I saw this quote today and it got the wheels turning in my brain (ut oh)...LOL!

It got me thinking about the people that we admire in our lives. Most of them we admire because we're not aware of all their faults (if any). If we knew all their faults, I seriously doubt that we would think so highly of them.

There is so much stuff that I know (and have been told) about many different people throughout my life. Most of the stuff that I know I wish I'd never been told.

Honestly, I would gladly pay each person that relayed the info if they'd just take the stuff back and say that it isn't true; or somehow get one of those little flashy things that the Men in Black used to erase memories and zap me with that.

Once someone tells you something, you unfortunately can't un-hear or un-read it.

AM1200

Last year on Facebook, I saw a H.P. Lovecraft fan group promoting a midnight, online showing of the Lovecraftian short movie "AM1200".

If you know me in real life, then you probably know that I am a fan of Mr. Lovecraft. Not only have his stories shaped modern day horror sci-fi as we know it, but he is quite an interesting character himself. And I have to admit that I was intrigued by Mr. Lovecraft way before I actually sat down to read any of his stories. It was the man himself that led me to the work.

With that being said, I knew as soon as I read the word "Lovecraftian" that I had to watch this movie.

So, I stayed up and watched the midnight stream on lovecraftzine.com and, wow! I was quickly captivated by this movie and have watched it over and over again since then.

You Become a New Person Every 5 to 7 Years

Whether you know it or not, you become a new person every five to seven years. 

This is not so much in a physical sense, but in a mental sense. Your very “being” changes.

You learn and experience new things – some good, some bad – and with these things our outlook on life changes and so does our life path.

Many childhood friends start to grow apart as each person nears adulthood. This is because each of you have experienced many different things in each of your lives. You each adapt and mature at your own pace. Your genetic make-up does also play a hand in this. It’s a fact that some people just mature before others.

Many people are talking about ascension lately. Ascension can mean many different things. In this case, ascension means to better yourself in life – to move up the ladder. As we mature, it’s only natural (for some people) to better themselves.  God never intended for you to go backwards in life.

As you educate yourself and learn from life’s lessons, you start to ascend. Your life path skews upwards and away from those that refuse to move. Therefore, you move up a level in life and you start to leave those behind that are not. (Yeah, it’s sort of like a video game.) Those that you’ve left behind are either stalled, or they are descending. (Yes, you can actually descend.) Descending may be the result of many things such as addictions, or the choice to willingly go back to your old self - but why would you want to do that?

Anyway, thus is the reason that we become new people every 5-7 years and why we leave old relationships behind and thrive for new ones that fit where we currently are in life. The challenge is now finding someone that is willing to grow with you on the same path.
