I live an unconventional life and one of mostly isolation. There are no real soul people in this small minded town I live in and have only my brother who shares soul and oneness with me through letters and through his website. He lives in a different county and wants to move house to possibly Holland.
I have only just found him about a year ago and have been corresponding through writing to each other which makes my heart and soul feel nourished.
I have not seen him physically in the same room as each other for decades due to a severe dysfunctional family I lived with as a child, adolescent and leaving our family’s house. Learning how to be an adult.. in an agenda driven peoples. Who worship alcohol and drugs and I broke free from all of that addictive pattern and was helped by me focusing on food for health from recieving a life changing book from my brother.
I began trying out veganism with the handy book that became my bible.
I have come along way since then and so has my brother in our separate lives. And I don’t know even one person in the local community.
I have a Carer. Due to poor debilitating illnesses and she is the only person I see.
My neighbours are egotistical backstabbing fuck wits. Who know only to be the many faced medusas and self conceited talking shit all day and praising each other for how great they are.
Ann, you're obviously going through much pain on many levels. I'm glad that you have found your brother and the two of you are nurturing each other from a distance. And I hope that you find sustenance on The Raft. However, I'd ask you to not attack other people (even directly) with obscene name-calling. If you continue to do so, I'll need to remove you from The Raft. I don't want to do that, because I want you to be able to hang out with kindred spirits in this safe, soulful place. But you share the responsibility to maintain this safe, soulful place. Please be kind. Deep peace.
I try to listen attentively, with an open-mind & not be judgemental. Although I admit I might be holding judgemental thoughts in my mind if I am listening to someone whose views are of the conspiracy theory, radical right wing ilk. Fortunately I don’t often find myself exposed to such. It’s an ongoing challenge for me to not get triggered, so I can remain able to feel compassion towards the person & not do harm to myself (or to them) by thinking unkind thoughts about them & what they are saying.
And your thoughtfulness and kindness re my bit of a rant I posted today
Surely you can understand how some people are unsavoury characters and I have had to look after myself with no emotional connections and help was far from me from early years.
My mum was unreachable to us and there was no love shown in ways that we all need and recognise from infancy and upwards.
We never had a guiding hand. And I was rebellious like we all get in the teenage years.
We all suffered my siblings and I.
I am wondering why My descriptiveness of my neighbours offended you. Since you have never met them and experienced first hand bullying by them as I have and have people I let into my house in order to try to be neighbourly and find that a favourite piece of furniture I just bought damaged deliberately by this neighbour.
How would you react if it was your favourite piece of furniture or something you loved.
I thought that this website was for freedom of speech and it seems like the comments I made and make need an open mind about name calling for a way to describe personal experiences.
Thank you for your kindness and Deep peace.
It’s part of my story I just wanted to share with like minded free thinking people who do not attack people but use this web space to vent off and find friends who can support one another and share their own minds about anything they wish to and reciprocate with compassion and non judgement. I believe in unconditional love and I have for years to still have an open heart and innocence and naïvety in my approach to people.
I am growing, through self development and from the quantum mechanics of the natural world to understand the nature of the meeting of spirituality, religion and science and how they connect universally.
My life lessons come from finding balance by experiencing the extremes and find soul based solutions through prayer and friendships and find growth tools like using meditation and subconscious programming, to rewrite and rewrite the outdated programs that we can change by becoming aware of them through conscious awareness and hypnosis.
The life lessons of my soul takes me to extraordinary highs and lows.
And I’m glad I am me. I am always grateful for the tiniest things to learn from to see the love we came from and see it as the gift 🎁 and bring our loving presence and our awareness with us wherever we go on our journeys through out space and time perfectly
Thank you for your open good heart and I wish you too Deep Peace and love
Ann, I wish you well. However, the Raft is not a place for people to "vent off" and "share about anything they wish to." We have a specific purpose in our community—to explore how the arts and spiritual practice can sustain us in our life journeys. We do not "rant." I suggest that you invest a considerable while (at least a week) in reading the contents of the Raft and comments of others so you have a better sense of what we're about. Please don't comment again until you have done so. Again, I would like you to be part of this community, but only if you refrain from "sounding off." Be considerate of other members. Be brief. Be kind. Be constructive. Listen well, don't just speak. Thanks for listening to me now, as host of The Raft. Deep peace.

Such listening is hard work and requires a lifetime of practice. Happy to be practicing with you, Mish!
