Pregnancy Q&A

Reasons why I would not make a good obstetrician:

Q: Should I have a baby after 35?

A: No, 35 children is enough.

Q: I’m two months pregnant now. When will my baby move?

A: With any luck, right after he finishes college.

Q: What is the most reliable method to determine a baby’s sex?

A: Childbirth.

Q: My wife is five months pregnant and so moody that sometimes she’s borderline irrational.

A: So what’s your question?

Q: My childbirth instructor says it’s not pain I’ll feel during labor, but pressure. Is she right?

A: Yes, in the same way that a tornado might be called an air current.

Q: When is the best time to get an epidural?

A: Right after you find out you’re pregnant.

Q: Is there any reason I have to be in the delivery room while my wife is in labor?

A: Not unless the word “alimony” means anything to you.

Q: Is there anything I should avoid while recovering from childbirth?

A: Yes, pregnancy.

Q: Do I have to have a baby shower?

A: Not if you change the baby’s diaper very quickly.

Q: Our baby was born last week. When will my wife begin to feel and act normal again?

A: When the kids are in college.

2012: The Reality

This morning I received an email from a friend asking if I had seen the scene from the upcoming movie 2012 last night, it was on every TV channel so it was hard to miss. Here’s what I wrote to her:

Yeah, I did see it. Stayed up later than I should have just so that I COULD see it.

I’m impressed with the special effects etc., but that scene was so over the top that credibility may be (thankfully) lost. Their interpretation of what will happen in 2012, if anything happens at all, could be damaging.

As you know I’ve been going further and further down the rabbit hole in my self studies of consciousness and I’ve come to a few conclusions, one of which is that we can control things in our environment more than I originally believed.

‘The Secret‘ talks about manifesting things into your life and I believe that works on a personal level. You’ve heard of prayer circles and the like where a small group of people meditate/pray for something, ie. someone’s health and they are able to effectuate change? Now, imagine just 1/10th of the planet, nearly 700-million people meditating/praying on the same thing…voluntarily or involuntarily…what are we with our collective conscious going to be able to accomplish? We could move mountains….or worse.

If enough people on the planet begin to fear the worst for 2012…they may accidentally manifest those things.

I continue to tell people that 2012 will be a time of peace, a time of realizing our connectedness to nature, of our one-ness with the living planet and to the living Universe. A Revelation! NOTE: The Greek word for Apocalypse is defined as “the act of revealing or unveiling”.

Noetic science is making huge strides in proving what I’m talking about in terms of our collective consciousness. Their investigations into things like clairvoyance, astral projection, telepathy, ESP, remote viewing, etc….is pointing to one undeniable fact…we are all connected to one another on the spiritual plane.

We are all one. A part of a collective whole…and as such we wield great power. But that power could be compared to a child playing with a loaded gun, we just don’t realize that we’re loaded. (so to speak)

If we’re not careful we may get what we wish for. Or (if you think like me) if we’re lucky we’ll get what we wish for… :0)

Voici Mon ‘Q’

For my first day on The ‘Q’ after over a year of ‘civilian’ life I’d like to share with you this short video I dug up, about a tiny village in France called: Montcuq

Enjoy! And it’s great to be back!!

Doctors More Dangerous than Guns

Number of physicians in the US: 700,000.

Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year: 120,000.

Accidental deaths per physician: 0.171 (U.S. Dept. of Health & Human Services)

Number of gun owners in the US: 80,000,000.

Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups): 1,500.

Accidental deaths per gun owner: 0.0000188

Statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

“FACT: Not everyone has a gun, but everyone has at least one Doctor.”

Michael Jackson Tribute (audio)

 

Michael Jackson 1958-2009

Have a listen to this and let me know what you think. It’s my tribute to Michael Jackson (6 min):

“The Thriller’s Gone!”

An Iceberg Didn’t Sink the Titanic

What if I told you that an iceberg didn’t sink the Titanic? OK, you’d probably say David is off on one of his “conspiracy theory” trips again or that he finally fell off the deep end. Well, it’s true an iceberg DIDN’T sink the Titanic…the Titanic sank from the water that flooded it after the Titanic hit the iceberg!! It’s not just a matter of semantics, it’s a simple example of what a paradigm shift is.

When The Church told us that the the Sun, Planets and stars revolved around the Earth and went out of it’s way to persecute anyone who said otherwise (despite having empirical data stating the obvious), we were in desperate need of a large paradigm shift, a paradigm shift that I’m glad to report we now have successfully accomplished. Just ask anyone you know and they’ll tell you the Earth revolves around the Sun.

The Real Secret
Now, what if I told you there was an idea that we have held on to dearly that is in need of the same paradigm shifting? This idea is so big and will be so difficult to get our minds around that there will likely be the same outcry from humanity “how could this be!”.

I recently began reading a book called “The Self Aware Universe” written by Amit Goswami a physics professor at the University of Oregon. If you were one of the ten’s of millions of people who watched the movie ”What the Bleep!?: Down the Rabbit Hole” you got a taste of Amit’s theory which is gathering not only momentum in the scientific community, but empirical data in the lab through the study of quantum physics. If you watched or read The Secret it’s basic idea of the laws of attraction is a great introduction to this idea of quantum physics, a good next step for you would be to watch What the Bleep!?

Putting religion aside for a minute, it has long been assumed by science that the brain creates consciousness Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion covers this idea ad nausium

What Does This Mean To Me
The million dollar question:  so what does all of this mean to you in your everyday life?? Nothing…if you don’t want it to.

Did the discovery that the Earth was round affect a farmer in France who had no need or desire to cross the Atlantic Ocean? Nope. But if he was looking for more land and a place he could raise his family independantly from the crushing laws and taxes of the King of France…it quite literally meant, the World!

David’s Big T.O.E.*

 

Einstein and the other great scientist’s of our time have spent their careers searching for this one unifying theory of the world/Universe that we live in, something that sums up our very existance. Indeed, the work they are preparing to do at C.E.R.N. could very well lead to the discovery of what they’re calling “The God Particle” or the substance that makes everything what it is. See M-Theory for a deeper understanding.

As a self described “Amateur Theosopher”, I believe I have been able to take my understanding of science and my study of religion, albeit mostly an Abrahamic point of view and come up with ‘it’. In no way is my theory a compromise between science and religion, rather a spotlight on science and religions commonalities which are far greater than most realize. In a terribly un-scientific way it goes like this:

 1. All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration,

2. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively,

3. There is no such thing as death,

4. Life is only a dream, and

5. We are the imagination of ourselves.

* T.O.E. stands for “Theory of Everything”…

Steps to Happiness

OK, so I’ve had about 6 months of being “on my own” which has included a lot of introspection.

It’s been a  while since I wrote a touchy-feely blog so here are my 5 steps to Happiness, I hope you enjoy.

Connect 
Developing relationships with family, friends, colleagues and neighbours will enrich your life and bring you support

Be active 
Sports, hobbies such as gardening or dancing, or just a daily stroll will make you feel good and maintain mobility and fitness

Be curious 
Noting the beauty of everyday moments as well as the unusual and reflecting on them helps you to appreciate what matters to you

Learn 
Fixing a bike, learning an instrument, cooking – the challenge and satisfaction brings fun and confidence

Give 
Helping friends and strangers links your happiness to a wider community and is very rewarding
