Inspiration is just not hitting me. I have truly gone on vacation and that includes the blog. I mean, it's 3 pm and I've hardly just finished breakfast. (Which looked like this today. I couldn't finish it; I had to have oatmeal. I am simply not someone who can have only fruit for one meal; yes, it's an experiment - short-lived, at that. But I solved the whole crossword puzzle! Yay!)

I am now wondering if I should just make it official. Just say to heck with blogging 365 days and say nothing happening here, folks, move along. I mean, the most exciting thing I'm up to these days is watching all 16 episodes of "Surface" on DVD (9 down, 7 to go).

My absence would be only temporary. I'm sure that the moment I leave the house and actually do something (besides show up at the grocery store as the Official Offerer of a Ten Kroner Piece so shoppers without the correct coin can get a cart when I'm done with my cart), I'll have something interesting to say.

So let's just give this blogging a rest for about a week, say, shall we?

…

You know, I'm really trying to talk myself into taking a break…

…

Why do I feel guilty?

…

Watch this space. Who knows what'll happen?

I gave up on 365 a while back and don't feel guilty at all. Didn't blog yesterday and might not again today! Well, I haven't read the news yet, so...

It is impressive that you have done this so religiously. Give yourself a well deserved break and don't feel guilty.

Thanks, Jon. I think I'll be a perfectionist in some other area of my life, than this blog. :-)

I was a big fan of Surface when it was on -- it was such a bummer to hear it had been cancelled.

I saw some ads for it here, but it was aired during odd hours, so I missed it. When I saw the DVD-set on sale, I took a chance. Some of it's hokey, but I like the characters and the little critter, and the plot's intelligent and fast-paced enough to keep me entertained.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
