new process oriented systems

before I forget it ...

I had a session at GEM http://www.energiemedizin.cc/ in Vienna with my friend Gabriele this week. As always it was on the edge with lots of new stuff coming in. This time it was about systems. All the existing systems on earth are rigid and square built on conformity. The problem is - my problem with that kind of system is - the conformity. It is not voluntary but obligatory. Even obligatory wouldn't be so bad if there were similar beings in that system, but our systems here on earth always include totally different beings inside each of those rigid systems of conformity. The best picture I can come up with is an army of soldiers walking. That kind of conformity. Same rhythm, same foot, same space to the front man and back man, same clothes, SAME EVERYTHING ... same personality, same issues, same dough, same mold, cut with the same cookie cutter.

square "dead" conformity

  

IT HURTS.

The pressure on me hurts, but also the forced dealing with issues that are not mine but belong to someone else in that system hurts. In essense it means, all people in that system can only move or develop together. If one stays, everyone stays. If one gets stuck, everyone gets stuck, until you can get that one stuck person unstuck. That is what square feels like to me. There is no flexibility, no space for movement. There is always this kind of force involved and frustration on my part.

The NEW systems work completely different. There is nothing rigid in them. They are process oriented and flexible. There is freedom for everyone. If I take the picture of the soldiers from before, this time everyone walks in his own speed and rhythm and step length, space to front or back or side person is totally different, everyone wears what they like to wear, NOTHING SAME ... different personality, different issues, different dough, different mold, no cookie cutter to cut but everyone cut into a different shape.  CHAOS ... that's what this system looks like.

flexible "living" chaos

RELIEF IS WHAT I FEEL.

This system supports individuality. It supports integrity, authenticity, diversity and creativity. Furthermore this process oriented system supports self expression and self responsibility. It is just not possible to play victim and give power away to another or the system per se. This system wont tell you who you are and who you have to be. This system does not take into account what was in the past or will be in the future. It is totally and only focussed in the present, in the here and now.

diversity - integrity - self expression

Well, I made my choice. I didn't even have to think about it. The new process oriented flexible system is it for me!

I hope I'll see you there :-)

Nalini Singh - one question

before I forget it ...

if I could ask Nalini Singh one question, what would it be?

There is one thing that I am really curious about.

The Psy/changeling series consists of 13 novels so far, number 14 is being written now, and some novellas too.

How much is strategy and planning ahead and how much is writer's instinct and intuition?

Here is my example:
Kaleb Krychek is the male hero of Heart of Obsidian - book 13.

Nalini Singh - Heart of Obsidian

Kaleb first appears in Visions of Heat - book 2 as Faith's competitor for the Psy Council position. He is mentioned as a young ruthless cardinal who rises through the Council structure very fast and becomes Councilor at the end of book 2. Then he appears throughout all the other books as all Councilors appear throughout all or most books.
Sahara is also mentioned briefly in book 2 in context with Faith's Net dropout and increasing her forecasting prize to set up a fund for those who disappeared like her cousin Sahara.

As both are mentioned first in Visions of Heat I theorize that Nalini had some kind of idea for those two from the beginning. It's just as possible that they both were side characters to further the story and give it enough background with no connection or any other thoughts in mind.

So, that is my question. Does she have a story (past, present, future) in mind for all characters who appear in the books, even minor? Or do they develop their own life throughout the story and develop from minor side character to main character with their own book? Or maybe both, some knowing ahead and some development throughout?

little happy things

before I forget it ...

as I am sitting here having my breakfast coffee, I thought about the coffee in connection with happy things. So let's talk about happy things while I sip my coffee. Alas, you can get yourself one too (or a tea) while you read about my happy and hopefully think about your own happy :-)

native creative hack - original: flow magazine

hm? happy things or happy times? or just happy?
for this post let's stay with the little things, that make us happy. Like some knicknack that makes us smile just seeing it, or makes us relax just holding it, that kind of things.

 

native creative - yellow poppy seed

• I have no defense against yellow flowers: sunflowers, gerberas, autumn sneezeweeds, daffodils or goldenrods, doesn't matter - bananas don't work though, it has to be yellow petals.
• I am always in a good mood when I am riding my bike. Not that I am always smiling around the face but even when I am not feeling too good, I feel better once I'm on the bike. It's the fresh air, the wind, the movement, the muscles working and energy flowing, or all of it, whatever, it works for me.
• I always relax instantly holding a warm cup of coffee in my hands. yeah :-)
• When Mamalita calls, I have no chance holding on to my funk. 

in "music (sing and dance) mode" mood

• The right kind of music does the same thing, it gets in on silent feet and suddenly I feel like singing along and dancing.
• On more thing on the relaxing side of happy is taking a walk in the little forest around the corner. It always slows me down, eases the tension and hurry, and puts me into a more productive frame of mind.
• Last but not least when an idea of mine worked out and I create something beautiful. Doesn't matter what it is: a candle that turned out great, a picture that captured the moment right, a practical and aesthetic solution for a problem at my apartment, the newest knitted hat or leg warmers. Each beautifully finished project makes me proud and really happy.

Nalini Singh - Rock Addiction Review

before it is too late ...

I had the chance to read Rock Addiction, the first book in Nalini Singh's new series Rock Kiss a little ahead of time. For my first time ever with Nalini, there was  nothing paranormal in it. The story is set in a totally normal world, this totally human here and now Earth world. Well, as normal as a rockstar's life is normal :-)

To get to the point, Nalini just does not dissappoint. Her stories never let me down.

Rock Addiction a Rock Kiss Novel

 This is a ssssss-story, this is one steamy, sweaty, smoking hot story. Even the main persons, Molly and Fox are sssss. Molly is sweet, seclusive and rather shy at first, while Fox is more along sexy, scaldingly hot and smoldering. Both Molly and Fox are scared and scarred but they just don't stand a chance against a voice sexy as sin and smooth as wiskey -  aaaand lots of sparks - like fireworks sssssparks - like 4th of July fireworks SPARKS, yeah that kind of sparks.

All that is left to say: STOP reading and START ROCKING already.

sssso ssssappy ssssad it's over :-(

But .... Rock Courtship is coming end of September and I can't wait. Are Thea and David choosing a letter too?
