In a previous post I wrote about how I had a craving for some tissue paper, which I love eating. Someone in the library I was working in left a box of tissue paper and I helped myself to a few.

Now, if there are foods that are supposed to be good and right to eat, why didn't the Universe issue me with the following warning?

"Enocia, thou shalt not eat tissue paper or thou shalt surely die!"  More >

 The Dream of Losing and Finding 0 comments

This experience called earth is a dream I have consciously created so I can experience what it feels like to lose myself so I can find myself.

Trying to lose myself is a bit of a tall order because it is impossible for me to ever get lost.

Let's say I am trying to find my way to a certain street but I'm not sure how to get there. I appear to be lost and I'm standing outside a supermarket on the High Street. I ask a passer-by how to get to the street and he points the way. The truth is I was never lost in the first place because I knew I was standing outside the supermarket in the High Street.  More >

I am Non-Judgment. By this I mean there is the Me that accept all that I am being without judgment. I have written elsewhere that, for me, writing is practising self-acceptance. The computer accepts everything I write without judgment. If I choose to edit what I've written, that's fine; If I choose to delete the article, that's also fine; whatever I believe is fine with the computer. The freedom to be myself in every way possible is non-judgment. With this freedom I can examine my beliefs and change my mind as I see fit.

I used to be a BIG anti-smoker. I hated smoking with a vengeance. I had no problem with people choosing to smoke but I didn't like the idea that they were imposing their habit on me. I also believed smoking was bad for one's health. While I wasn't actively campaigning against passive smoking I was thinking about it. I wanted smoking banned in all public places. I used to travel mostly by tube (underground) and overground trains. (I've only been travelling on buses over the last five years). Nothing pissed me off more than being forced to travel in a smoking carriage because the non-smoking carriages were already crowded. Eventually, smoking was banned in all public transports though in the case of the tube, people could smoke while entering the station. It was only after the Kings Cross fire, which may have been caused by a lighted match, that smoking was banned in all sections of the tube station.  More >

Once upon a time, a little girl had this brilliant idea; it could have been she came up with the idea out of pure boredom. The little girl thought to herself: "If I can memorise the alphabet in ascending order surely I should be able to memorise it in reverse?" So she memorised the alphabet backwards. Next time we meet in person, ask me to do it and I will impress you with my party trick.

Another party trick I have is I can say the Police Letters Alphabet a.k.a. The Nato Phonetic Alphabet, which goes Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...Yankee, Zulu. How did you learn this wonderful party trick, I hear you cry? Well, like everything there's always a nice story behind it.  More >

Red was having a discussion with Green. Red was getting really frustrated that Green couldn't understand him. Green couldn't understand Red either.

Red thought to himself, "That's why I like to stick with my own kind. I would never have this problem with other Reds."

Little did Red know that Green was having the same thought.

The other colours had the same problem. They couldn't relate to other colours. They tried to understand one another. They got into debates which always ended up turning into a huge row. Reds and Blues couldn't get on at all; Red went purple whenever they got together. Some colours were a lot more tolerant than others but the bottom line was the colours tended to stick with their own kind.

The only one who didn't get involved in the constant bickering was White. One day while Red and Blue were at each other's throat, White said to them: "People, you are all colours. Can you all just get along?"  More >
