If I had a Superpower

-

 I told my wife the other day that if my Spirituality had any special powers it would be the power to heal.  I don't feel I have anything special to offer, nor even in regard to the power of thought.  I might, but it's not something I can prove.  I wasn't given X-Men powers.  I have this sense of feeling, which is similar to the Third Eye in Buddhism. But that is a sense.  Maybe thinking about a person's physical health might be the same thing, because I do that.

During the pandemic, I had a lot of wishful thoughts that people wouldn't die.  I prayed for protection of friends and family and if anyone became ill I just hoped they'd survive.  Fortunately, we all made it through, but not without becoming ill ourselves.  My wife may have been overcome by the worst case of all of us, but she survived okay, although at one point I wondered whether to take her to the hospital, but she came through it.  

I might possess some power of prevention, for at least a minimal amount of sickness, but it would be nice if I could heal her sciatica.  I try to be careful around her and am careful how and where I touch her.  But there are times I wish I could heal broken bones, hearing, eyesight, sickness, or other things that happen to people.  I often wish I could take pain away.  But I can do none of this.  Maybe all I have is the power of thought, for what it's worth.  

My Spirit Guides left me with no real power, except for the power of my mind, which I possess, but in my thinking, even that isn't enough.  I will admit though, that the power of my will is enough for me, but then I'm not always sure that is enough for others.  I hope it is and go with that.  If I have any power at all, it might be to simply give the will to endure and to go on.  Maybe that is my gift.  But even that takes the power of thought.

I have the power of thought for myself and that is what I'm supposed to have.  I have a psychologist friend who once said that psychological pain can be worse than physical pain.  People have actually died from broken hearts.

Sometimes I wish I could teleport myself to any place I wish to be.  I can't be in two places at the same time.  I think we all wish we could teleport ourselves anywhere we wish to be.  But that is a Superpower not even Jesus had as a human being.  We can't be two places at once.  I often wish I had that power.  If I had that kind of power I often believe I could do more for my Spirit Guides.  Maybe I'd be giving the will to live every place where I would be needed.  Sometimes I think my thoughts aren't just enough.

But I hope everyone has that power of the will to live.  I find power in my meditation, especially when smoking my pipe, because then I remember why I smoke my pipe.  I remember.   My mind is limited by my humanity. My Spirit Guides simply don't want me to forget.  And remembering lowers my stress levels.  So, I'm smoking my Peterson Sherlock Holmes pipe with some Haunted Bookshop pipe tobacco this morning while drinking a cup of hot black Guatamalan coffee.  I'm taking time to remember.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.

It's About Balance

 I seem to struggle week after week as to how much football I am going to watch.  There for awhile I was watching all the analysis of the collegiate games and decided I was simply paying too much attention to football.  I cut way back last week and as the season begins to unfold I have to ask myself how much is too much?  I didn't watch one pro game last weekend and hadn't followed the analysis of collegiate games all week.   Then I found myself having a kind of withdrawal and decided I can watch whatever football I want to watch as long as it doesn't interfere with my Spirituality.  But at what point is too much too much?  My wife and I talked about this last week as I cut back on watching and we both decided that I like football and I shouldn't have to be thinking about how much or how little I watch.  I enjoy the games.  College more than the pro's.   I don't have to watch the analysis, but I like College Game Day and I like...

 I can never predict how any of my posts are going to be received but I do get a reaction from my wife quite often, but I'll post about my Spirituality thinking I've said enough and apart from a few other subjects my Spirituality posts do quite well.  I had yesterday's tobacco review done a few days ago and saved it for yesterday and again, it seems my tobacco reviews do quite well.  Then I wrote about my age and it seemed no one cared that much   My wife says that it's my titles for my subjects So, while I have so many subjects to choose from, today it is about how my tobacco choices influence my Spirituality or do they?  Not really.  It's just that I can't smoke my pipes without tobacco.  I could be smoking a lot of things.  Like the question asked when someone thinks you are crazy, " What have I been smoking?"  Well, at least you know.  It's never any "funny" stuff.  You could be asking what I've been drinking.  I have ...

Old Ads

-
 My wife liked my post about old things we remember.  And a lot of what I remembered was good.  But there was some bad things back then that are different today.  Back in the 50's and 60's and even into the 70's advertising in both magazines and TV were incredibly sexist.  I don't have the space in one post to list all the ads, but really they can be summed by saying that a lot of advertising was incredibly sexist. I 've mentioned my wife lit my pipe for me just a few times, but these days she can barely tolerate the aroma of my most flavorful Aromatic tobacco.  She liked everything I said in that post except my mentioning Old Professor pipe tobacco.  Ironically, I like Old Professor the most and she hates it the most.  So, when I mentioned it, she did too.  But back in the day a man smoking a pipe was his lifestyle.  Today, it's a hobby, and not just for men. But too back in the day, no woman could walk down the street without some perv...
