Lee and Zorro, the masked sword yielding hero that used to carve a Z
with his sword as a trademark. The next day all of us kids would be
imitating our hero's moves and sounds etc. We imagined enemies
and bad guys everywhere and were ready to save the world or defend
ourselves. Thinking back about those days it is very amuzing, nowadays
when I think about these things it is also somewhat disconcerting. All
the mental pollution that we are bombarded with on a daily bases. I
wonder why bad news travel much further and faster than good news right,
and why subliminal and repetitive advertising is used to control our
buying habits. All about controlling your mind.
What is mind? There are so many sayings with the word mind in it. I am
sure you can come up with a dozen in under a minute. And then we also
differentiate between the conscience and subconscience mind. The mind is
a most powerful, most colourful part of the human being. Not saying that
animals don't have the same facilities. Our minds are as individualas
our fingerprints. There are basically three mainstreams of
conscienceness. To understand it better we can give colours to them,
blue, red and green. Blue is the calculating part,red the communicating
part and green the creative part. We all have these abilities but in
different proportions which makes us all different. What is also
interesting is that we use only a very small portion of our facilities,
not even 10 % according to scientists. And to think that every sound,
every impression,every taste, every feeling you have experienced since
you have been in your mother's womb is stored somewhere makes it even
more amazing.Some can access this info easier than others for various
reasons, but there is much room for improvement for everyone. It is a
good thing that we are not all clones, instead we all follow our own
paths.
With the new conscienceness shift that is taking place the thin veil
between the conscience and subconscience is starting to part a little.
We are starting to realize more and more who we are, what we are and
what our purpose on this planet I call Gaia is. But that is starting to
move into the realms of spirit and we will leave that for next time.
Just know that it is a most exciting time to be alive, at this
particular time in the history of mankind. More and more insights are
coming through, we are busy not only retaking what we have been robbed
of, our natural abilities, but we are evolving into seeing old things in
a new light and finding a new way. In a nutshell, be aware of what you
let into your mind, and know that you are far more than anyone of us can
conceive at this stage.
Back to the boat, we had a good laugh this morning waking Eduan up for
his shift. We take turns to scrub and clean the decks in the morning,
the person on the 6 to 10 am watch is responsible for this. We sometimes
help each other and I helped Steven this morning. Basically soaping the
deck a bit and then scooping buckets and buckets of seawater to rinse
the deck with. A little scrub here and there and sweeping the rest off
with brooms leaves our boat white as a swan. Eduan was supposed to start
his watch at 10 am but Steven did not wake him as we were still busy.At
about 11 am Steven was calling for Eduan who did not respond. Some
stronger measure was called for and we grabbed the foghorn and video
camera, Steven on the trumpet and me behind the camera. I call this REM
to RBM, rapid eye movement as in when you are dreaming to rapid body
movement as you are woken up with a foghorn blowing in your ear. We got
the desired effect as his arms and legs involuntary swayed around trying
to protect his head as the foghorn went off. Captured on video it caused
all of us a lot of good laughs as we watched the video over and over.
Our position at ten this morning was 10*21'S/15*42'W. Wind is a bit slow
and last night we motored quite a bit to keep our average up. Fortaleza
is 1400nm away. At the moment Steven is making some flapjacks, Nick and
Eduan just found our stash of maple syrup, we have strawberry jam in the
fridge so soon we will be having a little feast. Last night Nick
treated us to a pasta dish, boerewors cut into small sections and with
all the other ingredients we had a meal of note. Tonight is my turn to
cook and soya and maizemeal with tomatoes, onions and chilli could be on
the menu. Our lures are out and should we land a fish that will change
our menu considerably.
Hope you have a super Sunday.
Captain Paul
