I’ll be heading out West (Regina, Saskatchewan) on Oct 29. My sister gave me a airplane ticket so that I could attend a party celebrating my 65th and my brother 60th birthday, as my brother‘s birthday is Nov 4. I’ll be flying back on Nov. 07. It will be interesting seeing all my siblings as well as nieces and nephews and their children, as I haven’t seen then for years. I may be talking my laptop with me, but I haven’t made up my mind as yet, so I may be off line for 10 days.
Summit that's hard to swallow - world leaders enjoy 18-course banquet as they discuss how to solve global food crisis
Dominic Nutt, of the charity Save the Children, did not approve.
'It is deeply hypocritical that they should be lavishing course after course on world leaders when there is a food crisis and millions cannot afford a decent meal,' he said.
The meal was served at the Windsor Hotel, on the shores of Lake Toya, where the presidential suite costs £7,000 a night.
I find it interesting in that after I posted Post 543 Erasing of the Minds memories I’ve been watching a few TV shows that have to do with removing another person's memory. That got me thinking as to what the message is, and what is the link between my dream and these TV shows.
My first thought was that of a person having their memories removed, but in the next instant I thought that often in the case of dreams and messages, it’s not what it appears to be, and in some cases it has to do with the opposite. That got me thinking of all the things that I have already forgotten that are no longer in my conscious mind for any number of reasons. The most prevalent reason is my Minds denial of the experiences it has had, in that it doesn’t just want to forget what it saw and heard, but also what it emotionally and physically felt. It’s not about a person or thing stealing the memories I have, it’s about recovering the memories that have already been lost by my choice.
So it’s not just lost Will (feelings and emotions) that I need to recover, but also lost Mind (thoughts and memories) that have been denied in response to denying the feelings and emotions and physical sensations. I can’t just deny the feelings and emotions and the physical sensations I experienced that I don’t want to feel and just keep the mental thoughts, as the thoughts (memories) would also remind me of the feelings. It’s a catch 22 situation. The other thing that also happens is that any other memories after the original experience that are associated with the original denied experience are also denied, so it is an accumulation of memory and Will essence loss. I just thought of senility, dementia and also Alzheimer’s that are directly related to this issue as the older we get, the more memories we lose through denial.
I intend to remember and heal all that I have been denying, mentally, emotionally and physically. JR
Ending denials and exposing true colors Comments to follow...Adam Ray TV
Comments '09 Oct 24 Although the intro to the video shows the Adam Ray TV ad I don’t feel it is one of the skits put on my Adam Ray. I viewed some of his other videos listed on his website and this one doesn’t fall into the same amateurish script or acting that is evident in his other videos. I feel that this was a real home video taken at his birthday party and that his real character and denials were caught in the prank. Being a so-called comedian and a joker, what better way to “cover up” being exposed as the fake he is, then to submit the video to AFV, along with advertising to his website and his other videos, making one think that it was all staged... and in the process, promote himself.
Irene Favel describes in a CBC interview (July 8, 2008) how she witnessed the murder of a baby by staff at the Muskowekwan Indian Residential School, run by the Roman Catholic Church in Lestock, Sask.
Time and again, the Catholic and Protestant churches subverted peaceful relations between whites and natives, and among aboriginal nations such as the Huron and Iroquois, as part of their plan to exterminate all non-Christian peoples and take their land. In the words of the Jesuit missionary Jean Brebeuf, “There can be no peace or parity between the savages and Christians. This is required by our Faith and the fur trade.”
1)Native children were taken from their families by armed force. 2)Native children were routinely beaten and tortured. 3)Native children were used in medical experiments. 4)Native children and women were sterilized. 5)Native children were given electric shock treatment. 6)Native children in 'schools' were deliberately exposed to Tuberculosis and then left to die. 7)Native people were deliberately exposed to small pox and allowed to die even after vaccines were available. 8)Native children were murdered by priests and nuns.
*************************************************************************** Kevin Annett is a former United Church minister in Vancouver, Canada, who was fired without cause in 1995, and then expelled from the same church without due process, after he had unearthed evidence of the theft of native land by church officers, and of the murder of native children at the United Church residential school in Port Alberni, British Columbia, where Kevin ministered.
Reverend Annett is working with aboriginal and human rights groups around the world in an effort to bring charges of complicity in Genocide against the government of Canada, the Anglican, United and Roman Catholic churches, and the RCMP who are directly responsible for the mass genocide of tens of thousands of Canadian First Nations peoples. They are still covering up the truth. It is time for the truth to be told and those responsible to be exposed and dealt with!
’09 Oct 17 4:28 am I awoke from a dream, wondering what was going on, what was the cause of my loss of memory. My first conscious thought was that I recently bought a new brand of Multi-vitamins and Echinacea tablets and I started taking them three days ago, and that it was these pills that were destroying my memory in the dream I was having.
How it worked in my dream was that in the instant that I remembered something, that memory was erased. In the dream I was remembering things about the Nazis in the Second World War, and just as I remember something, the memory faded and was gone. I searched my mind for any trace of that memory but there was nothing to find, I was blank. It was, no it is, a weird feeling and I don’t know if it was a dream or reality as now that I’m writing this in my journal I feel confused and empty, like a part of me, a part of my life is missing. Maybe I’m just sleepy and tired and can’t remember, but as I now scan for memories of the Second World War, each memory that comes to mind is erased just like what happened in my dream. When I realize that I have lost that memory/thought, I’m suddenly left blank. I’d try to remember what I just remembered but it’s all gone. I sure hope this is all part of my dream.
I’ve recently received a few e-mails and been in a few chats regarding emotional issues and problems, where people give me a long list of all the drugs they have taken that have not helped, and also the side effects that they have experienced with using these drugs. It’s mind-boggling to me, that in this modern age, that the medical community is still living in the dark ages.
The medical community and their doctors are ignorant in that they are still trying to treat emotions as if they were a disease, or a broken bone. Feelings of grief, heartbreak, terror or anger are not a disease, and cannot be treated with drugs or a positive attitude, anymore then a person that has trouble with mathematics can be given a drug to make them suddenly math whizzes. The medical community also ignorantly categorizes unwanted emotions as a “mental” problem that are to be controlled by the mind, and hence part of their treatment includes telling the patient to have a positive attitude.
Our feelings and emotions are as real and as valid a part of our being as is our Mind and Body and they need to be recognized as such and not invalidated. Emotions and their expression have also been wrongly associated as being the problem, when in actuality, it has been the denial of our expressing our real feelings and emotions when we are feeling them that is the actual problem. Even animals have emotions and they openly express them unless they have been programmed (trained) to fear responding openly, and respond instead with submissiveness. Going even further, plants and inanimate objects also have feelings and emotions.
The use of medications to numb the mind and body to control emotions only serve to make the problem worse, by creating harmful physical side effects in the body, and also compounding emotional problems and issues, by causing added depression, mood swings, lethargy or acts of aggression. Given the present mindset of the medical community and their lack of true understandings of what emotions are, there is little hope that anyone can obtain the real healing they are looking for.
In my replies, I tell them that healing emotions is not a simple process, and neither is there a quick fix solution. It takes years of abuse, denial and suffering in silence to reach the state that most people find themselves in now. It is only ones determination and courage to find and heal the root cause of their emotional issues and problems that will help them heal. I also give them a link to my website and my e-books on healing and understanding emotions that will help them on their personal healing journey.
****************************************************************************************** "What? The end of the reign of Christianity!!!! Never!!!!! What’s the answer??? It means beginning another HOLY WAR, a crusade by "loving" Christians to fight and put down the unholy and evil infidel Muslim war mongers.... That’s the answer!"...... says the blind and bigoted Christian.
It's all about power and control and has nothing to do with the downfall of society as such... What you do for a livelihood has nothing to do with you religious beliefs.... Whether a teacher is a Muslin or a Catholic has nothing to do with their ability to teach 2+2=4.... unless of course you are talking from a self-righteous, judgmental and religious perspective, insinuating that a Christian teacher is better than a Muslim teacher...
Being unable to “breed” sufficient Christians to maintain control means that they are going to have to “convert” Muslims to Christianity in order to maintain the sheeple flock. And so the push is on by the “higher ups” of the Christian religious factions (especially the Catholics and fundamentalists) to save and convert the wayward Muslins to a better way of life in order to save their position of power and control over the masses. This is not only being pushed by religion, but by every Christian that feels threatened and in whatever capacity they are in, ie military, government, education, commerce, banking, media, etc, etc,. If they feel that their Christian power base is being threatened, they will fight to maintain control, and the above YouTube video is a classic example of this fear mongering.
If it’s not religion that is the source of conflict between people, then it’s language and social customs and traditions… or any combination there of. If you are not the “same” as them, then you are different and thereby shunned and belittled, or hunted and attacked if you put up any resistance.
In a rare public defense of a process normally shrouded in secrecy, four of the Nobel jury's five judges spoke out Tuesday about a selection they said was both merited and unanimous.
To those who say a Nobel is too much too soon in Obama's young presidency, "We simply disagree ... He got the prize for what he has done," committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland told The Associated Press by telephone from Strasbourg, France, where he was attending meetings of the Council of Europe.
Jagland singled out Obama's efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe......................
Even the most seasoned Nobel watchers were surprised by Obama's Nobel — they hadn't expected the U.S. president, who took office barely two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline, to be seriously considered until at least next year.
*************************************
Isn’t it ironic that since Obama has taken office, that the war in Iraq has been taken out of the news, while the coverage of the war in Afghanistan has escalated? But that is not mentioned in the above nomination report. That is not to say that there is now peace in Iraq and that things are now all nice and peaceful, it’s just that Iraq is not receiving the media coverage it once did to JUSTIFY the war to the American sheeple, and the world in general... A war that was initially started by Bush against the taliban in Afghanistan, that were blamed for the so-called 9/11 attacks. Once a token war had been waged against the Taliban, focus quickly switched to Iraq, allowing America to begin to fulfill the hidden agenda by those players behind the scenes that are pulling the strings of the puppets in a visible position of power, including the media...

OSLO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for offering the world hope and striving for nuclear disarmament
The bestowal of one of the world's top accolades on Obama, who has yet to score a major foreign policy success after nearly nine months in office, was greeted with gasps from the audience at the announcement ceremony in Oslo.
Describing himself as surprised and deeply humbled, Obama said he would accept the award as a "call to action" to confront the global challenges of the 21st century….>>>> ************************************* ********************** *********************************** World's most well-liked countries Lauren Sherman, ForbesTraveler.com - Tue Oct 6, 4:47 PM
For the first time since 2005 when Simon Anholt--an independent policy adviser to 20 national, regional and city governments--started conducting the survey, the U.S. has been named the most admired country in the world, climbing six spots in the rankings from 2008. Rounding out the top five are other beloved countries like France, Germany, the U.K. and Japan.
Anholt attributed the U.S.' rank to global confidence in Obama. He also believes that former president George W. Bush's incredibly unpopular foreign policy pulled the country down in terms of image. After he left office this year, the only way for the U.S. to go was up. "The country's position was artificially depressed by Bush," says Anholt.…>>>>>

Nominating Barrack Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize coupled with the press release that the USA is now the most liked country in the world, is like the WHO declaring the Pope a living Saint and Savior of Humanity, and that all Catholics as the chosen ones, that can do no wrong in God’s eyes.

And then we have the H1N1 Swine flu Pandemic... H1N1... 2009____________ 4,504
When put into perspective with just a few of the other death related diseases, H1N1 pales in comparison.
So why all the media hype? Why all the hullabaloo about getting a H1N1 flu shot? Why are some governments putting forth legislation to make it compulsory?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that there is more going on than meets the eye... Now the question is... “What is going on?” It’s not what they (Governments and health officials) are saying that is important.... It’s what they are NOT SAYING.... what they are DENYING....
“Some say ignorance is bliss. Some say ignorance is Hell.“
I came across a couple of interesting links having to do with mind control and after reading a couple of articles on these websites, the pieces of the puzzle began to fall into place. While Mind control technology is nothing new and has been secretly going on by various governments since the second world war, it has now been brought to a new level, total control of the population.
All the parts are now in place to bring this diabolical plan to fruition. For this phase of Mind control to work it needs to have both a transmitter and receiver placed in the host. To that end, they have now harnessed the power of the computer with nanotechnology and the recent switch from analog TV to digital will allow the VHF analog signals to be used to impose this technology in limited areas, or on a grander scale as needed with other technology that is already in place. All that remains in order to put this plan into effect is to implant the population with nanotechnology, and what better way to do it then with an inoculation which is exactly why the W.H.O. is frantically pushing with their fear mongering messages to have everyone vaccinated against the so-called H1N1 pandemic.
I cut a pasted this from another blog site I happened to stumble upon and one that I didn’t save the link. I’ve re-worded parts of it, but the main information remains the same. I like the article as it puts the diagnosis of a stroke in layman’s terms instead of wordy medical generalizations and jargon... I don’t know why I’m posting it, but I feel I need to as it could save someone's life..
HAVING A STROKE
During a BBQ, a man (Jack) stumbled and took a little fall. He assured everyone that he was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and that he said he had just tripped over a brick because of his new shoes... Others helped him to his feet and cleaned him up, and another got him a new plate of food. While he appeared to be a bit shaken up, Jack went about enjoying himself the rest of the evening.
Jack’s wife called the next day stating that her husband had been taken to the hospital later that evening, and that he passed away, that he had died of a stroke that he had suffered at the BBQ. Had anyone at the BBQ known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Jack would be still alive today. While some die, others end up in a helpless, hopeless condition and brain damage and need constant care.
Doctors and Neurologists say that if they can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours of the onset of a stroke, that he/she can totally reverse the effects of a stroke. The key is in getting the stroke victim recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the 3 first letters of the word STRoke...
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. Doctors state that anyone (including the victim, if not in denial) can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S *Ask the person toSMILE. T *Ask the person to TALK... to speak a simple sentence (coherently) .......................... Ask them questions like, "What is your address?" What is your phone number? R *Ask the person to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he/she has trouble with any one of these tasks, call 911 and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher, or take them directly to the hospital emergency department.
New Sign of a Stroke -------- “Stick out Your Tongue.”
NOTE: Another sign of a stroke is to ask the person to stick out his/her tongue... If the tongue is “crooked” or if it goes to one side of the mouth or the other, that is also an indication that the person has had, or is having a stroke.
Swine flu deaths top 2,800 worldwide Last Updated: Friday, September 4, 2009 | 12:31 PM ET CBC News The World Health Organization said Friday that 2,837 people have been reported as swine flu fatalities, as H1N1 ebbs and flows in various parts of the world. The death toll is up at least 625 in the last week, from 2,185 published in last week's update from the UN health agency.
Swine Flu Vaccine Disadvantages The huge hoopla around the swine flu virus a few months ago has barely subsided, but a new controversy has brought the issue back into the public eye again. This time, the hype is about the swine flu vaccine, which reportedly causes alarming side effects, one of which even leads to death. According to medical experts, the vaccine has been directly linked to a neurological disorder - the Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) - which affects neural linings, leading to paralysis, respiratory problems and eventually, death.
************** COMMENT ************ By comparison, even though the death rate has fallen 74%, there is a far greater cause of death by measles world wide, yet measles is not considered a pandemic... WHY????? **************************************
The United Nations announced in December that world-wide Measles deaths have plummeted by 74 percent worldwide since 2000. The number of people dying from Measles every year has dropped from an estimated 750,000 to 197,000 between 2000 and 2007 mostly due to improvements in routine immunization activities.
How does the H1N1 flu spread? A: Spread of this H1N1 virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. People may become infected by touching surfaces such as a countertop with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
***************** COMMENT **************** It is moronic to think that surgical and dust masks and washing ones hands can protect one from contacting the swine flu virus. Anyone that has ever used these masks when doing dusty work, knows that they do not even prevent dust from being inhaled, let alone microscopic viruses. Just because we can’t see the air we breathe, we assume that it is fresh and clean, except when we are consciously aware of pollutants in the air. What we are unaware of is that we are continually breathing in other peoples exhaled air as they are breathing in ours. We are not breathing in “fresh” clean air, we are breathing air that not only contains contaminates, but air that has also been exhaled by others around us, even animals, and as we do that, we are also inhaling microscopic parts of the other person or animal. It’s no different than when you breathe on a piece of glass or cold object and see your breath forming water droplets from the vapor you expelled from your lungs... You are SHARING air.... all the time.....
Sharing air is like someone tasting a piece of fruit and then handing it to you to taste and then you passing it along to another and so on. The cleanest (non human contaminated) air will be after it has been filtered and cleansed by rain or air found in the forest, other than that, it is a collective aerosol soup that we are breathing.
The other thing I find amusing is that people believe that if they wear their mask, and then dispose of it when they get home, that everything is OK. They fail to realize that if the virus was on their mask, it was also on their clothes and on other exposed parts of their body and that they bring it into their house where it mixes with the existing air. Dah!
Our body has an immune system that is well equipped to fight off any natural threat, and if it is healthy, there is no reason to fear becoming ill, unless that illness has something to show us. What the immune system, and your body can’t fight are man made viruses, that have no natural anti-bodies to suppress them from harming the body. This is what this swine flu is all about...
All I hope to do with this post is to make you THINK.... Whether you are aware enough to see that you are being fed mis-information or whether you think that I’m full of bulls**t is your choice...

’09 Sept 21 A few days ago I noticed that my vision was a bit blurry, that looking at things with my right eye was a bit out of focus. At times I’d notice a shadow image under the regular type or image on my computer monitor or TV. Also things around me looked fuzzy when I closed my left eye and focused with my right.
I had my eyes checked at the end of April and there were no problems and my vision hadn’t really changed. The optometrist said that there wasn’t enough of a change to warrant new glasses unless I wanted to change and get a new frame. Now I’m wondering what’s going on as it’s only been four months.
A couple of weeks ago, Marian went to her optometrist and was told that she had a cataract in her left eye. Now I’m wondering if that is what I have. I did a check on the internet for cataracts, and I’m convinced that I don’t have cataracts.
’09 Sept 22 12:15 pm What I’m noticing now is that in the morning, my vision seems to be OK, it’s only after a while on the computer that I begin to get this blurriness. The other thing I’ve noticed is that sometimes my left eye is also blurry. I was doing a Google image search looking for pictures for my blog and I entered the search words “blurry vision” and this is one of the images that came up. When I saw it, I realized that that is what is wrong with me and my eyes, I’m not focused and that also has to do with my other issues procrastination and wasting time that have been going on for the past few months. That brings up questions like, what am I not seeing? What is it that I don’t want to see? Right eye indicates Spirit or Mind… Things that make you go Hummmmm?
Well I’m finally caught up… or kind of... sort of… There were other things happening that I didn’t include in my blog, or that I never wrote about in my journal. Suffice to say, what you see is what you get. I will try to keep it more up to date from now on..
‘09 September 21 When my sisters and mother were down for a visit, my sister asked me if I wanted to go out West at the end of October to celebrate my brother and my birthdays as our birthdays are 4 days apart and are both marking “special” numbers. I’m going to be 65 (33) and my brother will be 60 years old. At first I said no as I didn’t have the money but on further reflection I decided to go as she was offering me a free ticket using her aeroplan points. I called her today and accepted her offer and within an hour my flights were booked to a 10 day stay.
Well I frittered away another three weeks and accomplish nothing on my books. I don’t understand why I have this hesitation, this avoidance to finishing my books. I look to distract myself by doing other little things that are really pointless. What am I afraid of? What is this all about?
Another recent re-curing theme in my conversations with people is where people have what I have come to call, the “Thumper Syndrome. Bambi - Disney Movie ...... Quotes
Thumper: He doesn't walk very good, does he? Mrs. Rabbit: Thumper! Thumper: Yes, mama? Mrs. Rabbit: What did your father tell you this morning? Thumper: [clears throat] If you can't say something nice... don't say nothing at all.
I call it the Thumper Syndrome when a person believes that if they can’t say anything nice that they don’t say anything at all. This belief also suggests that if you can’t do anything nice for another then you also shouldn’t do anything at all. It’s a take-off on the religious beliefs and dogma of the old “Golden Rule” of… “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
I suffered from the Thumper Syndrome for most of my life. This denial of true expression just to be “nice” sets the person up to be in a constant state of victimization while at the same time, presenting a denied false sense of superiority that they are better, or above, saying or doing what the other person is saying, doing or experiencing and that they are in a better position than another.
People believe that being “nice” and “kind” is an expression of love, but they fail to see the unseen role of denial that is at play behind this illusion. While they may be “nice” to others, they are not being nice to their Will, the part of themselves that wants to express what it really feels. This is a classic example of the inner battle and the unseen role of denial and hypocrisy at its finest. Guilt is also a factor, in that if a person wanted to say or do something that was real, guilt would hold them back with an endless list of should or should not’s and what is politically or morally correct .
This is another issue that seems to be coming up with people that I chat with. In all aspects of society, there is this seen an unseen battle of the sexes going on where each man and woman is protecting their gender and role model as dictated by society and their customs and traditions. This is the external battle of the sexes and is but a reflection of the inner battle that each gender (man and woman) has within themselves. Man-woman, husband-wife, boyfriend-girlfriend, brother-sister, are common areas of conflict that have gender issues.
People are quick to judge and focus on the external battle, because they are unaware that the outer battle is merely a reflection of their inner battle. The inner battle is over-looked as it is far easier to blame another person, place or thing as being the problem, rather than looking within at one’s own issues and inner battle.
The real healing that needs to take place is in ending this inner battle between Spirit [mind, thought, intellect, ideas and reason] and Soul [Will, feelings, emotions, and knowing]. Many people will dismiss the fact that there even is an inner battle, as they believe that their Mind is in control of everything they are experiencing. Still others have no real feelings or emotions and so they deem that the only gender problem they have is the external conflict that arises between the sexes.
‘09 09 09 I finally got my passport today. I had tried to get it back in mid-August but was unsuccessful for several reasons. The Canadian government changed their policy this year in that now anyone with a passport can be your guarantor, and it doesn’t have to be a doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief, etc... Not reading instructions or rather, not reading what wasn’t being said, I had my doctor be my guarantor (vouch for my identity) but as she didn’t have a passport, they would not accept it. I made two trips to the London passport office before I was finally told all the details of what was no longer acceptable, as there was no reference that the old rules no longer applied in any way shape or form.
My old passport ran out in January, and under the old rules you had to apply for a new passport. The new rules now state that you can use your old passport for up to a year, to apply for a new one, but you can’t use it to travel. So I re-did the application and used my old passport, and I sailed right through the application process.
While I was getting my passport processed, I mentioned to the woman that since 9/11, that all this airport security was a sham. I explained to her how I had gone through the airport security at the Toronto international Airport, where I and my belongings were scanned and x-rayed, as they looked for dangerous objects. I told her that once I passed through the security checkpoint, that I was presented with countless shops, all looking for my dollar, but at the same time offering up box cutters, scissors, etc, that were in plain view and that I could have easily picked up and hid on my person, and taken into the aircraft. There were also delivery people dropping off and picking up boxes for these gift shops and restaurants, and any one of them, or anyone working in this area could easily slip a person explosives, guns or whatever they wanted. The passport woman commented that she only worked here and that she didn’t make the rules, but that she understood what I was saying. I left it at that.
'09 Sept. 08In recent conversations I find that people unconsciously associate their identity with their occupation, social status, country, city, ethnic origin, religion, or even with a sports team or organization. Others associate themselves as a wife, husband, son, daughter, or a relative or even another person that they deem superior, successful, or important. Identity is also associated with money, with earning potential and therefore linked to social status and a measure of success or importance. All these identities are false as they don’t reflect who you are, but rather what you are experiencing. I am… followed by whatever description one gives of themselves is simply stating who they think and believe they are… rather than what they are experiencing in this moment. They are not a doctor, they are merely experiencing being a doctor and helping others. If they have judgments on their present experience, then they will base their identity on either past, or future experiences in order to bolster their self image and give their altered ego a sense of importance and worth.
Saying that you are a spiritual being having a physical experience is also a part truth as you are also more than that general statement as you are unique in your own way. While you are part of a larger consciousness you also have your own identity, experiences and expressions that make you unique, much like any part of our physical body is unique yet part of something greater.
