Alexander II, Emperor of Russia, sold Alaska to the US., fearing the remote colony would fall into British hands if there were another war.

Plants are good. In general, gardeners and botanists are good people. In this day and age, at a plant sale sponsored by the Master Gardeners, with a swarm of people holding plants, looking at plants, moving plants, there is no one, no one keeping track of the plants. Anyone could walk in and walk out without paying and no one would really know. But plant people wouldn't do that. Also, plant people share plants, cuttings and seeds, without any expectation of getting things in return. Botanists are usually quiet, unassuming people. I am so glad I fell into botany and gardening.

There's also a downside of knowing non-duality if one is severely unequipped. Those who are not ready ends up being insane or nihilistic instead.


Is that one is aware of choices so much, at the same time there is no choices to begin with because it's just context, it's just idea. One would be conflicted between personal internalities.

One would see both 'sides', their own upside and downsides.
One also in state of dilemmas much so than ever, because it's becoming less easy to distinguish the 'dark' side and the 'light' side of things.
One won't able to distinguish a blessing from a curse, because it's just context. It won't able to distinguish between left and right, up and down, because that's just movement.
One would be seeing too much and too little significance of the past and the future. Those that remain in duality, because of this, either became very relatable to or increasingly unrelatable to.


One may rather forget just so they could just pick a side and just focus there. Yet forgetting it means they'd seek back those lessons again.

I don't mind, and thank you.



:( But seriously.

Why me? Why did it came to me? Why did spirituality happened to me? Why did I received insights without being driven mad by it?
Why not those who seeks inner peace and those who'd devote themselves in spreading the word?
Why not those who are more capable and able to carry out these wisdom themselves?
Why not those who actually want or need to understand God?

Why a 24-year old with an unreliable track record with a lot of inconsistencies, personal baggage and conflicting self interest? :lol:
Why an insensitively sensitive woman-child with more self-serving tendencies, trust and attachment issues, with practically no cross to bear except herself?

The insight will say there is no such thing as 'deserving-ness' and anyone could've receive all the same if one is able to look at it.

But a part of me doesn't seem to get the memo and wanted someone else to answer it for me.
That's the ego. My ego is strong, and overgrown enough to compare a narcissist -- be it with or without developmental delays or neurodevelopmental conditions to 'explain' itself.
Be it the mind's curiosity, the mind's doubt, the want to confirm, the want of assurance that 'I deserve' it, the attention that someone may reply, etc.
There are just countless reasons in my head -- all the same, it wants something 'filled', it wants something to react and 'care', it seeks outwardly.

It is nice and warm outside here today. We still have snow on the ground. It is only the start of winter.

When Nintendo had a fall in revenue from the less successful Wii U, its CEO cut his pay in half for 5 months.

Why is it that we have no issue swallowing saliva as its made, but if we were to drink a glass of our own saliva it would probably produce a gag reflex and make one vomit?
