*DISCLAIMER: MY TRUTH may or
may not be YOUR TRUTH, and that is FINE with ME! Really!
I mean it is the DIFFERNCE
between creating a DYNAMIC, COLORFUL MOSIAC (aka, ART) or just plain bathroom
floor TILING, no? The WHOLE POINT of
this GAME called LIFE is to RE-DISCOVER yOUR UNIQUE TRUTH (and not MINE, or
anyONE else’s for that matter!) and SHARE
it FREELY with the PEOPLE who SHOW UP in yOUR WORLD, right? And this
INCLUDES the PEOPLE who DELIVER your MAIL, PICK UP yOUR TRASH, and SERVE YOU
FOOD, etc.! *Of course, you are ALWAYS
FREE to DISAGREE! Personally, I LOVE to ENTERTAIN/PLAY WITH other people’s
POINT of VIEWS, because I ALWAYS FIND SOME TRUTH in it-- THANK YOU!
**And HOW exactly DO
I DETERMINE MY TRUTH (from someone else’s STORY)?
Well, I LISTEN to THE STORY/IDEA/BELIEF being PRESENTed to
ME (THANK YOU for the GIFT!) and FEEL the TRUTH in order to DETERMINE if it is
TRUE for ME.
In other words, when a BELIEF (aka, IDEA, THOUGHT, STORY)
RESONATES with ME, it FEELS GOOD. It
FEELS GOOD to ME because it is in HARMONY with MY HEART. And as it just so happens, MY HEART SEEKS
ONENESS with ALL (aka, PEACE, LOVE, JOY, FREEDOM, LAUGHTER and all that
“Hippie” Stuff!) Therefore, ANY STORY or
BELIEF that MOVES US further AWAY from ONENESS, and is thus PERPETUATING
SEPARATENESS (aka, Duality-Thinking; FEAR-based THINKING; US vs THEM mentality;
MEN VS WOMEN; MAN vs NATURE; MONSANTO VS ORGANIC FARMERS; Pepsi vs Coca-Cola,
etc.), does NOT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD. Sometimes,
it makes me MAD, but ALWAYS it makes me SAD and therefore, I SEEK a SOULution
with that particular SAD IDEA/BELIEF/STORY which BRINGS US ALL closer to
ONENESS (aka, LOVE, PEACE, HARMONY, and all that “Hippie” Stuff.)
Therefore, Today, I am DEEPLY
GRATEFUL for YOU ALL-OWING ME the TIME and SPACE to EXPRESS RADICAL HONESTY
with both mySELF and OTHERS because I am ALL ABOUT TRANSPARENCY for mySELF
(first and foremost!), TRANSPARENCY in ALL MY deLIGHTful RELATIONSHIPS with OUR
FRIENDS/FAMILY/PEERS/STRANGERS, and fully EXTENDING to TRANSPARENCY throughout
OUR LOCAL, NATIONAL and INTERNATIONAL GOVERNING BODIES; CORPORATIONS; RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS; and whatnot.) As is ABOVE
is BELOW, no?
So BASICALLY, it ALL STARTS with ME (and U2!!)
Hahahahaha!
You have just been BONOred!!
J
Anyway, TODAY, I am going to SHARE (Sharing is Caring, no?),
otherwise known as SPEAK MY (radically honest) TRUTH about WHAT I SEE and HOW I
FEEL when PEOPLE I obviously LOVE and ADORE (!!)
ASK me under the GUISE of
FRIENDSHIP (*and sometimes not very nicely!) to REMOVE PHOTOS of themSELVES, I
have POSTED (mostly on FACEBOOK), under the IN-ALIEN-able BRILLIANT CONCEPT of
FREEDOM OF SPEECH and
SELF-EXPRESSION (*as expressed in the UNITED STATES BILL
of RIGHTS…or was it, The DECLARATION of INDEPENDENCE—or, wait-- are they the
same thing?!
Ummm, perhaps I should
re-read those documents again…)
And
PLEASE CORRECT ME, when YOU have a BETTER SOULution—I am ALWAYS INTERESTED in
SOULutions! THANK YOU! We CHANGE the WORLD through OUR coLABorative SOULutions,
no?
 |
Look! A SQUIRREL!
Anyways, it BREAKS MY HEART when I post PHOTOS of PEOPLE I
LOVE, BEING AUTHENTICALLY THEMSELVES (*and USUALLY having a DAMN GOOD TIME while
DOIN’ IT!) in my PHOTO-STORIES, mostly on FACEBOOK …
|
PHOTO-STORIES (noun)
= FREE MODERN LOVE-BASED INDEPENDENT PHOTO-JOURNALISM from PEOPLE YOU KNOW,
LOVE and TRUST (*isn’t that what WE CLAIM WE WANT from our MEDIA?!!!!)
… and then PEOPLE I LOVE ask me (*and sometimes not very
nicely!) to REMOVE/HIDE the raw, NATURAL, NO PHOTO-SHOPPED TRUTH I just
happened to CAPTURE “by accident” -- because ask anyONE-- I do not even really
KNOW how to use the kinda-HI!-tech CAMERA Paul Davey GIFTED me (***THANK YOU
again, PAUL!!!!!)—I just CLICK the CAMERA when it FEELS RIGHT and *MAGIC! This seemingly “simple” request from PEOPLE I
LOVE is OUT of ALIGMENT with me. In
other words, it STILL does not FEEL GOOD to ME and I think I have FIGURED out
the WHY…
*And what I mean by MAGIC is that I have just CAPTURED a
quantifiable MOMENT of TIME (aka, a MEMORY) in the FORM of PHOTONS/LIGHT
PARTICLES that I am NOW able to TRANSMIT this LIGHT INFORMATION easily to the
REST of the WORLD, which does not happen to speak ENGLISH, by the way!
Therefore, I can REACH a MUCH LARGER AUDIENCE through MY
raw, NATURAL, sometimes MESSY by ALWAYS UN-EDITED, UN-CENSORED personal
FACEBOOK PHOTO-STORIES, otherwise known as DOCUMENTATION of the AWEmazing DAYS
of OUR LIVES (*which just happen to REACH, TEACH, INSPIRE, usually ENTERTAIN, and
ultimately, EMPOWER OTHERS around the world!)
Directly from SOURCE and FREE for ALL!
(*Isn’t THAT what WE CLAIM WE WANT from OUR MEDIA?!!!!)
And just so you KNOW
how I FEEL about MY PHOTO-STORIES, mostly on Facebook:
I can SEE how MY FACEBOOK PHOTO-STORIES are an INTEGRATED
extension of my RECENT PAST LIFE as an INTERNATIONAL CORPORATE and “INDEPENDENT
MEDIA” JOURNALIST– I mean, IF it were TRULY “INDEPENDENT MEDIA” we WOULD NOT
NEED EDITORS, right? *And just so you
KNOW, I have been a very $$well-paid$$ as well as VOLUNTEER EDITOR several
times mySELF for a plethora of media organizations and multi-media outlets, so
I speak from DIRECT EXPERIENCE: For further reference, Google Me at “Kelly N
Patterson, Editor”.
And not only are MY PHOTO-STORIES just ONE of MY many INTERNATIONAL multi-media COMMUNICATIONS
TOOLS…it is a JOYFUL PASSION for
ME, as well as ONE of my methods of SELF-EXPRESSION
(aka, ART); it is a HEALING GIFT to ME and can be a SERVICE
to OTHERS; it is a FREE EASILY
ACCESSIBLE PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICE from MY HEART; IT HIGHLIGHTS the BEST of HUMANS, PLANTS, ANIMALS,
BUSINESSES, SERVICE, PRODUCTS, IDEAS, ATOMS, DARK MATTER, and so on…) MY PHOTO
STORIES are MUCH, MUCH more than just about MY LIFE, YOUR LIFE and OUR SHARED LIVES TOGETHER but they are ALWAYS about SHOWING and DOCUMENTING LOVE in
ALL its SACRED, PROFOUND, and
sometimes, ABSURD and PROFANE forms,
but MOST IMPORTANTLY, my PHOTO-STORIES are a VERY PUBLIC EXPRESSION of MY LOVE and GRATITUDE for ALL of my LIFE
EXPERIENCES and what I have LEARNED from everyONE who has SHOWN UP thus
far…so THANK YOU ALL for PLAYING!
So, NOW let’s get to
NOT-SO-PRETTY PART of this STORY…sometimes referred to as TRUTH…
In order to demonstrate HOW
and WHY I FEEL out of ALIGNMENT when PEOPLE I LOVE ASK ME to REMOVE/DELETE/HIDE
a PHOTO of themselves, I am sharing a few “typical” SCENES… and note, NAMES have been CHANGED to PROTECT the GUILTY
or as I prefer to call them: “The NOT FULLY AWAKE…YET” (and YES, at times, WE are ALL GUILTY or NOT
FULLY AWAKE YET, silly!)
SCENE 1 (Oh-so-annoyingly
Typical):
CLOSE FRIEND: Can you PLEASE remove THAT PHOTO of ME,
Kelly, because IT (*AS IF putting BLAME on the CAMERA or PHOTOGRAPHER!!!!)
makes me look…FAT/OLD/UGLY/DRUNK/HIGH/SLUTTY/UNPROFESSIONAL/ LESS-than-PERFECT/VULNERABLE/MESSY/way too many INDIVIDUAL INSECURITIES to
list here!
THROUGH MY EYES: WTF?!!!
YOU are PERFECT just as YOU ARE-- messy and ALL—don’t YOU SEE THAT?!!!! Much to
my HEART-BREAK, what this “simple” request REVEALS to ME is that I have
“accidentally” RE-MINDED YOU of a FALSE, DIS-EMPOWERING, UN-LOVING BELIEF you
STILL have about yourSELF (aka, INSECURITIES), that YOU are NOT WANTING TO SEE
or OTHERS to SEE (right now.) Literally.
And I WHOLE-HEARTedly BELIEVE these same SELF-DEFECATING THOUGHTS are
what PREVENT YOU (and ME!) from FULLY ALL-OWING LOVE, JOY, INNER PEACE, FREEDOM
and all that “Hippie” stuff. *Because
we are ALL in this TOGETHER, no?
MY CONCLUSION (*which
may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):
Therefore, this
seemingly “simple” REMOVE-MY-PHOTO-PLEASE request is OUT of ALIGNMENT with ME,
because I FEEL LIKE HONORING yOUR request is AGREEING to YOUR DIS-EMPOWERING,
UN-LOVING BELIEFS about yourSELF. Which would, according to the AA Tribe, make
me an ENABLER, no? This goes directly against MY DESIRE to EMPOWER mySELF and
OTHERS, preferably through LOVE.
 |
| A very RECENT SELFIE, "POISON OAK FACE" |
| SCENE 2 (*Now we are
going to go DEEPER, please check your oxygen tank!): |
CLOSE FRIEND: Kelly, PLEASE do NOT POST any PHOTOS of
ME and (insert NAME—but KNOW it is
NEVER a SPOUSE/OBVIOUS PARTNER) TOGETHER.
THROUGH MY EYES: WTF?!!! Basically, YOU are REVEALING to ME that YOU
are currently OUT of INTEGRITY with your AGREEMENTS with YOUR PARTICULAR
SPOUSE/PARTNER (*which is OK with ME, THAT is YOUR STORY and I TRUST you and
your partner will FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER or APART, whatever works BEST for
YOU!) HOWEVER, YOU want ME to SHARE in
your LIE?!! And you call this FRIENDSHIP?!!! YIKES! This does not FEEL GOOD to
ME because it IS DISHONEST. Period.
In the PAST, when I have QUIETLY (PRIVATELY) CHALLENGED some
of my CLOSE FRIENDS on the INTEGRITY of this “simple” REQUEST, they have PULLED
the IF-YOU-WERE-MY-FRIEND-GUILT CARD (*which
is a well-documented FORM of PSYCHOLOGICAL and EMOTIONAL BULLYing, by the
way…but don’t listen to ME, do your own TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY 101
innerHOMEWORK!) I mean, Is that what
Dionne Warwick meant when she sang, THAT’s WHAT FRIENDS are FOR?!!!
I mean, IF I am going
to be a FRIEND ACCOMPLICE, I want to be a FRIEND ACCOMPLICE to an ACT of LOVE
and JOY, RANDOM ACTS of GENEROSITY, and GOOFY SHENANIGANS, not an accomplice to
a LIE because DISHONESTY with SELF leads to DISHONESTY with OTHERS, no?
MY CONCLUSION (*which
may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):
I think you would be very SURPRISED how often I get this
“simple” PLEASE-REMOVE-MY-PHOTO request.
HOW
ABOUT instead of BEING DISHONEST with ourSELF (and therefore, OTHERS) we
PRACTICE *RADICAL HONESTY with the very people we LOVE? And then we can WRITE NEW RELATIONSHIP
AGREEMENTS out of LOVE, and NOT FEAR-- with INTEGRITY to SELF and OTHERS.
*For more information on RADICAL HONESTY, please START HERE: http://kellynpatterson.blogspot.com/2013/08/my-big-wish-list-for-myself-and_28.html
SCENE 3 (The ONE MOST
out of ALIGNMENT with ME currently!):
CLOSE FRIEND: Kelly, I would like to PREVIEW your
PHOTOS of the (insert EVENT HERE: wedding/party/fundraising event/community
meeting/historic gathering of Lightworkers/class/whatever) before you post them, so I can APPROVE the PHOTOS of myself.
THROUGH MY EYES: WTF?!!!
Basically, you are asking PERMISSION, under the MASK of FRIENDSHIP, in the NAME of LOVE, to PROOF or EDIT, possibly CENSOR, and potentially ALTER
OUR UNIQUE SHARED HISTORY and ultimately, ROB ME (and OTHERS!) of OUR in-ALIEN-able RIGHTS to FREEDOM of SPEECH and SELF-EXPRESSION! I mean, IF I am NOT ALL-OWED FREEDOM of
SPEECH and SELF-EXPRESSION from MY OWN FAMILY and FRIENDS, HOW CAN any of US EXPECT
it from OUR GOVERNMENTS?!!! **For
further reference, READ the UNITED STATES BILL of RIGHTS and DECLARATION of
INDEPENDENCE.
MY CONCLUSION (*which
may very well be different from YOURS—CHEERS!):
 |
| "FAITH YOU!" (*Yes, the RING on my MIDDLE FINGE, which I FOUND in a parking lot, reads: FAITH) |
This Machiavellian STRATEGY is NOTHING SHORT of
EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL used to
MANIPULATE and ultimately,
CONTROL the ACTIONS of OTHERS to better
SERVE YOUrself
and the fact that
it is done in the
NAME of LOVE and
FRIENDSHIP literally makes me WANT TO PUKE!
*For further reference, about HISTORIC
MANIPULATION TOOLS read “The Prince” by
Niccolò
Machiavelli, written circa 16th Century.
So you say you want a rEVOLution?!!!!!
Well, The rEVOLution STARTS with ME (and U2,
All of US!)
*Guess what?!!!
 |
| You just got BONOred again! Hahahaha! It never gets old! |
Again, THANK YOU ALL
for ALL-OWING me the TIME and a SAFE SPACE to BE and radically EXPRESS mySELF WITHOUT FEAR of PUNISHMENT, RIDICULE, GOSSIP, OSTRACIZATION, REJECTION,
ABANDONMENT, EX-COMMUNICATION, DEATH THREATS, HATE-MAIL, TORTURE or PERSECUTION (*We’ve come along way, Baby!) and as ALWAYS,
I WHOLE HEARTedly ENCOURAGE YOU to BE YOUrself 100% of the time, 24:7, with
ME, with everyONE pretty please (!!!)
and KNOW that I LOVE YOU just as you are…skinny legs, Not-FULLY-AWAKE-YET and
all…because I AM ALL ABOUT UNCONDITONAL
LOVE, FREEDOM and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS!
