thats the collective, its all hype. why don't we hear about the good things that happen more?

well, I have no idea frankly.   so I just want to drop in a please celebrate with me this day that my best friends husband stopped taking drugs and now their marriage is growing in love!!!
u have no idea how happy this makes me, although why should I ask anyone to care? it is always we hear the bad. how an addict overdosed. I wonder truly how many ever got clean? why wasn't it written up?
I hope things change so we know theres just as much good things happening out there as the so-called bad.
out of all the people in the world, I wanted my friend to have a drug free husband because she tried so hard to stick by him and not complain too much.
this is a happy day for me. right now, they are stringing their house with lights!

thanks for listening, I'm off topic again. love, alysia

That's wonderful, Alysia!  I stopped watching the news..except for about 5 minutes in the morning while getting ready for work.  It helps to know which roads are blocked.

They talk of car accidents..but never the millions who reach their destinations unscathed.  The wreckless driver, but not the friendly one that lets you in.  The restaurant that got the lousy health dept score..but not the many who got a perfect score.

But..you spread a little happy news right here and for that, I thank you!

How about some more happy news? 

We're having a hard time at work, being shorthanded.  We were feeling terrible, because we were ignored, while working extra..and this other group, who hardly ever steps the extra step was rewarded with brand new Red Wing Boots..

Then yesterday, we got an anonymous note from a 7 year old..thanking us for what we do..THAT beat boots any day!!

Thanks for the good news, alysia!
Here's some more good wishes
to send their way, and yours--- 

Also a note:
a group in this area recently started 'The Pronaria News," their journalistic effort to combat the paranoia-inducing media. Only 2 issues so far, too early to tell if it's in for the long term. They write up examples of 'paying it forward,' biographies of people who do good for no reward, etc. 
Also just ran into a group  on the web called the Pelorians who have decided to live as though life were all good. Well, on Mt Shasta, where they are located, that may be easier than in Peoria, for example, but they are making beautiful music up there and are working with a herd of deer on inter-species communication, etc.

The internet helps me overcome alot of negative daily news.
People share information and good will so freely, even beyond this wonderful site. You do. Many thanks for being part of the answer!

PUL, Bets

I hardly ever watch the news. What's puzzling is that some people watch it immediately after they get up in the morning, and right before they go to bed each night. Sometimes they'll ruin their dinner with it too.

I believe it's good to know what's going on in the World, but when the misery of others becomes a form of entertainment...

Hi aylsia I dont watch the news or buy any newspaers either ,because you never able really to read anything good about someone,i found it depressing and  made my mind up not to watch it or buy it.

I cant understand human nature sometimes,i watched this programme yesterday,what we have in England called Points of Veiw.Its were people write in and complain about television programmes and certain people had written in complaining about this bear, who had walked up the hillside to die,and the reason they complained is because our BBC who televised it,put a trailer of another programme over this bear going up the hillside to die and they said it was not fair of our BBC to have done this,as they wanted to see the bear die.

I for one would no way have wanted to see this bear actually die,it would have reduced me to tears and i thought the way some people think,complaining because they cant actually see this bear die,what a world we live in.

Love and God bless you aylsia          Love Juditha

Despite my interest in afterlife and spirituality I also have other sides of me and one of those includes newsreading. I am a 25 year old male who would like to break into the field of radio and I have been applying for radio positions down here in my home country of Australia. I realise when I read the news for radio that some of the impact of the negativity is lost slightly because there are no pictures, but still one thing frustrates me. Audio clips from people in politics. They often appear to sound angry and confrontational and after I've finished my shift I wonder to myself why everyone seems so angry in the news all the time.

I'm not which life path I am choosing or have chosen for myself. Because I've been getting very interested in my spiritual side and the afterlife over the past few years but professionally speaking, I am not like many of the people on this board. I have not yet really engaged in a spiritual community, this forum is my only real link to chatting about these topics with interesting and open minded people. My mother is always quite interested but aside from her people on this board are the only others i can communicate openly. I wish I was like others on this board who had wide contact in real life with a spiritual community. But you one thing, I am glad I did not choose to join my local Anglican Church instead of explore spirituality through a non religious guise. There's such a greater wealth of information of interest to me on this board then going to church. No offence if you a church goer but it doesn't work for me, even a spiritualist church which practices communication with the afterlife, I'm still not sure if that is for me.

hello NSD, I've always found your posts interesting and I wish you well in your radio career. I appreciate how honest you are and its true you don't need to join a church if you don't feel its for you. just ask me, I never fit into a church as they didn't like my thoughts that we were all one big happy? family. I had me blinders on, its nobody's fault, but you must feel ok with your own choices..you don't want to just follow the crowd just to belong somewhere. its not worth it. I'm glad you feel free to express yourself here as it was always my vision that people could come to Bruce's board and hear what he had to say about getting your own experience and exploring the ideas that got started from TMI. its a movement no doubt and I'm eternally grateful I could relate to those ideas. everything they said, and Bruce came from there, it just fit in a logical sequence for me. its not too hard to see we are all trying to get ourselves in balance on this planet, say, the left to the right, the brain balance, the heart balance, its all about justice to me, justice is the symbol of the scales.

we're not all in balance, humanity appears to me to be at a point where we can balance the scales more easily with the shift energies coming in. we can find a way to cheer each other on if we just start looking for that.  so hang in, its never as bad as it looks on the outside.  thats why I love to go to sleep, the sun rises on a new day and we get another chance to do it up right.

theres a speed up in time happening, we have actually had time measured by some scientist who says we've lost some linear time, a few minutes or a few hours or even a whole day, according to the rotation of the Earth, whatever, I don't understand it but I feel the speedup...and it feels ok, I can flow with it I know because I'm not afraid of dying anymore, I look forward to it...its all just a movie to me anyway, if it were real, I'd want to die more swiftly and be done with it, but its not my home here, I'm just passing thru and so are all of you. thats why you have to keep centered, keep your balance, don't despair, we are at the forefront of the shift, if  you keep steady so others can lean on you too and gain that steadiness.
and those that are or will die enmass, its not like thats not part of their higher selves plans, so don't freak, death is not what you think it is. it is a part of life. it is a natural occurence for the soul to pass through.
and god is just watching. he gave man free will in the movie. god doesnt cry, we are the ones who do the crying, the judging, and the killing, because that where we are at. but we are the ones who can change things just by opening our hearts and letting the world as it is fade away like old film clips on the floor.

I'm excited to be in the shift in consciousness, I'm excited for people who are expressing themselves on the internet, just being yourself, not afraid to speak your mind, and most especially I'm happy I can say right out loud how much I love you people for expressing your hopes and dreams here and your love. alysia

Thanks alysia 

You know the funny thing is I feel comfortable expressing myself on these boards but if I talk about the same kind of things around the circles in society that I mix with or on other forums, I tend to be met with scepticism, sometimes hostile. Or other times I'm just given blank looks or people have stereotypical viewpoints. For example, if I talk about a psychic some people still get the image of an old gypsy lady with a crystal ball. Its nice to be able to talk to such interesting good natured people who are all about sharing knowledge and experiences. Its pretty rare elsewhere in my life I have to admit.
