(Excerpt from the book 1,001 THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU’RE DEAD: A Dead Person’s Guide To Living )
“VISIT A MATERNITY WARD.
If you finally change your mind and decide to go back to being a baby again, your best chances of getting a new baby body are at a maternity ward. Find a hospital building. Locate the newborn baby section. You may have to wait for a body that is not already occupied, or one that isn’t quite ready to hatch yet. This could take a while.
Or, you may be able to get one sooner by fighting off all the other disembodies beings who are hanging around the hospital trying to get a body for themselves. Why do you think babies cry and sleep so some much when they’re born? They had to kick a lot of disembodied asses to get a body. That’s why they are usually tired and cranky and have bruises, messy hair and blotchy skin!
REINCARNATE YOURSELF AS AN ANIMAL.
Theoretically, you can go back to Earth and inhabit the body of a human being. And, just as theoretically, you can go back to Earth an inhabit the body of a different kind of life form. This could be an interesting interlude.
Many small animals don’t live a long time, like rats and small birds. So, you might enjoy a short excursion as a creature of some kind. There are millions of species to choose from on land, in the air and in the oceans.
For convenience, here is a list of the Top 10 longest lived animals: rabbits – 28 years, bird-eating spiders – 28 years, dog – 29 years, cats – 38 years, goldfish – 43 years, horses – 62 years, birds – 60 to 118 years, elephants – 86 years, Koi fish – 226 years, Tortoise – 255 years!
If you decide to inhabit the body of a different life form you might want to consider their life style and eating habits before you choose.
For example, cats eat rats and mice. That could take some getting used to…. Some birds eat seeds, raw fish, frogs, bugs, garbage and road kill.
Silverback gorillas eat vegetation and they are strong enough to tear a man’s arms and legs off easily. Whales eat plankton, krill, squid, octopus and jellyfish. Dolphins are a fun species. They eat whole, raw fish – guts and all.
Anyway, there are a lot of options. Of course, human beings have been known to eat just about everything under the sun – including ALL of the items AND the animals listed above.”
PREVIEW and BUY THE BOOK …BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!

Self-destruction is the antithesis of the survival impulse. Individual life forms are driven by the impulse to survive. But, collectively, Humanity seems to be Hell-Bent on Self-Destruction. WTF?! Well, maybe it’s not all what it seems to be. Maybe there are a very small minority of beings who want to ensure that the rest of us don’t make it. Our assumption, as socially interdependent beings is that “everyone wants to survive”. Well, maybe Humanity has been infiltrated by PARASITES who secretly and quietly want to bleed us to death? Parasites in nature are abundantly present. Bacteria and viruses are some of the most abundant and ancient species of life on the planet. If you get cut on your leg while walking through the jungle, you will die of bacterial infection, if the wound is untreated. You want to survive, but so does the bacteria that invades your body and kills it. So what? Do you have more right to survive than bacteria?
But, if our natural impulse is to persist through time in our present form, why would we keep shooting ourselves in the foot?

Haven’t we all seen this “movie” before? It’s about Deja Vu, all over again, and again, and again, and again, etc., etc,. etc., ad infinitum, ad naseum…. The physical universe is a place we’ve been creating and altering and hanging out in for trillions and trillions of years. We may “pretend” each lifetime is “new” and “exciting”…. but, seriously, isn’t is really just the same old bullshit over, and over, and over? One of the reasons that we, as immortal spiritual beings have amnesia after we die, is just a simple way of forgetting about the interminably boredom and repetition of our eternal lives. Birth, growing a new body, “learning”, having sex, eating, working, having “fun”, wars, chaos, careers, aging and dying, and starting again, over and over and over…… In the “reality” we call “Earth” it seems to be working….unless you happen to be Bill Murray at 6:00 AM.

Déjà vu, (/ˌdeɪʒɑː ˈvuː/) from French, literally “already seen”, is the phenomenon of having the strong sensation that an event or experience currently being experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has actually happened or not. — Wikipedia.org

In the Western world, poetry is a dying art form….. As art becomes extinct or ignored, so does the civilization. Or, at the very least, the art being created, or the absence of it, reflect the spiritual condition of the individuals in the civilization. Personally, I have discovered that writing poetry is very therapeutic. It creates inner peace, perspective, serenity, spiritual insights, and aesthetic reverie.
Modern “poetry” is most often expressed in the Lyrics of songs. Have you listened to very much “popular” music lately? In the U.S. the most popular (best selling) music is “country music”. The lyrics to the majority of these songs are written specifically to appeal to the LOWEST common denominators of human “intelligence”: sex, cowboys, beer, trucks, parties, and the “idealized lifestyle” of the working-class peasant, jealousy, failed romance, and, did I mention sex? Fundamentally, modern “music” is all about making money. Like the rest of Western “civilization”, which is an artificially created mirage, bought and paid for by NWO bankers, legislated by criminal politicians, enforced by a psychotic military-police-state, and propagandized into “popularity” by the Global Media Machine — everything is about MONEY, Power, Control and Possessions…. and did I mention sex?
There is a quiet, simple remedy for the insane, manic, soulless absurdity created by the artificial environment of television, Hollywood films and the internet.
It is a simple form of “meditation”: Turn off the TV, turn off your cell-phone, turn ON Your Soul. Write a poem.
If you wonder sometimes why you feel depressed, overwhelmed, stressed out, purposeless and alone, you may find Your SELF while writing a poem.
I prefer HAIKU. How about you?
I you would like to share your poems with me, and others who read the Blog, please post them in the COMMENTS! 🙂
