You should become intensely interested in your experiences of reactivity and negative emotions.

This is your sleep.
This is also my sleep. 
I feel I Am annoying sometimes. I should remember that less is more,,,, sometimes.

Merkaba and Toroidal field are two terms that I’ve taken an interest in. Also ethics in relation to A.I and quantum computers which is almost laughable considering my ability to do anything whatsoever about it.

Now isn’t this an odd combination of material that seems relatively synchronous. 
I’ve got several metaphorical file folders in my mind where I hold bits of information as if were true. From there a discernment of to what degree is this true. Partial perspectives here,,, partial perspectives there,,, here a spective there a spective,,, fairly often blah, blah, blah, 😕

The Very Presence of Pure Pleasure

The Markabah is a structure of essence, composed of all aspects in the diamond form except that in this dimension each aspect appears not only clear, faceted, and precise but also as the very presence of pure pleasure. Each diamond feels and tastes like wonderful piece of candy, with an affect deeply and pleasurably satisfying, a state of consciousness that fills the soul with a pleasurable bliss that penetrates and suffuses all of her field, filling all the cells of the body with a glowing and fulfilling sensation.

Your chi is your replenish-able life force.

 

You’re confused and then
You see too much

You gain an understanding which gives you a metaphorical Teflon coating.

BAM

One morning I awoke to the voice of a friend.

I cooked sausage and eggs as he talked to me some more.

Crying while eating was,,,, well, it's never a graceful thing. It's considered improper. My appetite doesn't disappear when I grieve. Eating soothes my instinctive and emotional centers. Although awkward, It seems natural to me. This happened a few weeks ago. I can't even say what it was about. I experience my feelings that way. Maybe I do shut my feelings off and sometimes when they hit, they come on strong. Whatever the feeling may be. In the last 3-4 years my experience of hatred has evolved. I don't carry anger with me the way I used to. I feel hatred very intensely but it seems like it burns hotter and burns clean. If that makes any sense. It also goes against the idea of being evolved in any way, or spiritual, or actualized or realized,,, I,m not going to be defensive about it. We can't force ourselves to change how we feel.  Ponder that. You feel how you feel,,,, until you feel different.

Sometimes you never know who is going to be a Teacher. I've had a few Teachers. Life gave them to me.  There was one or two ,,, who at times I fucking hated them. Being honest about it, Teachers give you pain as often as they inspire it seems.

US Treasury paying $24 billion a week in interest on its debts

This topic can be approached from many angles. Taken from an article in Fortune magazine. 

Does this highlight the Trump Administrations' incompetence infected with MAGA belligerence? 

What about the credibility of the Liberal Democrats or Moderates whose undisciplined spending led the way. This statement also puts a spin on the overall subject of irresponsible government spending over the last 50 years. For me it brings to mind a plethora of subjects addressed by Seers, channelers, mystics, Farris wheel operator's, theologians, prophet's, etc.,,, concerning the trajectory of experience and increasing speed of change at a certain point in human history referred to as the eschaton, the resurrection, end times., etc.,,,

Sitting at the screen, I begin to ponder the changes that are now occurring. Different unrelated subjects arise in my mind. That my expression of them become frivolous because of my compulsion to inject humor to offset the worry of the more somber issues. There are so many "something new happenings",,,, Disclosure of UFO's and Alien life.    Worrisome conditions like the stability of the U.S. dollar and the debt of the Treasury, Unstable and extreme weather patterns affecting many areas of agriculture and its cost when subsidized by the U.S. government.

Who in the hell would want to be President of the United States?  Would they realize what they're getting into?  No ordinary person in their right mind would seek this position?

This began as a subject in the main forum but I began to wander off into other areas with my commentary. So I moved it here.

US Treasury has borrowed $155 billion every month of this fiscal year—and is now paying $24 billion a week in interest on its debts

Eleanor Pringle

Posted: July 10, 2026 | Last updated: July 10, 2026

Despite concerns from debt hawks, the U.S. government is continuing to borrow at pace: For the fiscal year of 2026 so far, the federal deficit has totaled just under $1.4 trillion.

The first nine months of this fiscal year (beginning in October) have now surpassed the borrowing levels of 2025, when deficits totaled just over $1.3 trillion for the same period.

At the time of writing, the total U.S. national debt sits at $39.4 trillion, accumulated under administrations led by both Republicans and Democrats.

As such, the monthly borrowing for 2026 now sits at roughly $155 billion, or $39 billion per week. And, like any borrower, that debt carries an interest cost. The latest monthly budget review from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirms that net interest on public debt for the fiscal year has hit $857 billion: roughly $23.8 billion a week.

This is approximately $100 billion more (13%) than the interest paid out in the first nine months of 2025, the CBO adds, owing to a higher total debt burden than last year and higher long-term interest rates.

In fact, interest payments on the debt are now $20 billion larger than the outlays for the Departments of Defense, Commerce, Homeland Security, Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Small Business Administration, and the U.S. Coronavirus Refundable Credits scheme—combined.

Also contributing to the demand on government purse springs is the increasing demand for social security, Medicare and Medicaid.

Spending for Social Security benefits rose by $62 billion (or 5%) because of increases in average benefits and in the number of beneficiaries, CBO noted. In comparison, Medicare outlays increased by $58 billion (8%) due to higher enrollment and higher payment rates for services. Rising costs per enrollee meant Medicaid spending increased by $49 billion (10%).

This is a trend that isn’t going anywhere: The U.S. population is aging. According to the Census Bureau, Americans’ median age—the age at which half of the population is younger, and half is older — continues to rise, climbing from 39.2 in 2024 to 39.4 in 2025.

Men’s share of the older population is particularly of note, the bureau adds. In 2001, there were 70.6 males for every 100 females age 65 and older, but by 2025, the ratio had increased substantially to 81.6.

Debt trajectory

With the factors influencing Treasury spending only embedding further over the coming decades, those concerned about the U.S. fiscal trajectory are calling for action.

So far, they haven’t got much response—though there is a growing sense of urgency among policymakers, according to experts.

The latest CBO estimates have alarmed the likes of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget which, for a long time, has been lobbying the government to address its borrowing.

In a statement shared with Fortune, Maya MacGuineas, president of the committee, said: “The FY 2026 deficit has now passed the FY 2025 deficit–and it is likely to stay that way for the rest of the fiscal year … We will likely borrow $2 trillion or more this fiscal year—an astounding figure given that the economy keeps growing and unemployment is low.”

The current situation is “likely the tip of the iceberg,” MacGuineas adds, if policymakers don’t make changes to entitlements and “ignore the need to cut spending and increase revenues,” she adds: “Social Security and Medicare are within seven years of trust fund exhaustion, and action needs to be taken to prevent across-the-board cuts to both programs.”

MacGuineas advocated targeting a deficit of 3% of GDP, roughly half its current level, a proposal that has gained support across the political spectrum. But she also added that “more importantly,” politicians should be “honest with the public about the grave dangers we face by remaining on this unsustainable path.”

Testing clip

from;

I enjoy specific scenes from this movie when taken separately. When watching the movie in it's entirety,,, It turns into a cheesy movie from the mid 70"s. It's enjoyable though,,,

This was an ICHING reading I got yesterday.

 

Line 1. If the wanderer busies himself with trivial things, he draws down misfortune upon himself.

This line can call attention to a fate a person has created by busying himself with concerns of the collective ego. Among such trivial concerns are judgments based on the human-centered view of the universe:

  about justice, crime, and the supposed guilt of others

  about supposed rights and privileges

  attributing catastrophes to weather, or Nature, when they have been the result of expectations projected onto Nature

  gossip and idle curiosity about others' relationships, including the intimate affairs of animals

  blaming one's fate on an outside cause, rather than seeing its cause in oneself

  watching whether others are conforming properly to the moral and behavioral standards (the oughts and musts) of the collective ego

  preoccupying oneself with things afar rather than with what lies directly in front of one

 

56. The Wanderer

• dismissing things of real significance (such as money) as mun-dane, in favor of working on a spiritual self-image.

When a person does not understand the Cosmic Way and has created a fate due to his incorrect views, the ego in him will seek to put the blame on something or someone else, the Cosmos, life, Nature, or even his true self, rather than having the ego itself recognized as the cause; in addition, it may put a heavy burden of guilt upon the person. He needs to catch onto this tactic of the ego before it plunges him into yet another fate. (See p. 539, Freeing Yourself from Mistaken Ideas and Beliefs, p. 542, Freeing Yourself from a fate, and p. 551,

Deprogramming Guilt.)

The line can also refer to a person who feels guilty for possessing something while others have nothing. Possibly he has been taught as a child to take on guilt for the starving children in the world, human maltreatment of animals, trees, the earth, etc. It is one thing to care about all these things, and act responsibly in regard to them, but it is another to allow guilt to drive one to fulfill the image of the "compassionate person." Striving to fulfil this self-image keeps the person from saying the inner No to wrong conditions and their causes, and from asking for help from the Helpers, which are truly able to correct these conditions through transformation.
