2023 YER-END REFLECTION

The end of last year kinda of sucked. It was fraught with dealing with challenging issues that consumed my personal life. I thought it was going to finally conclude by the middle of this year, but it didn’t. I guess I shouldn’t have held my breath. It’s hard to feel free and be creative when certain issues are nagging at you. I have had to learn to take my mind off of such matters and move on, despite the inconclusive nature of the matter. I hope it will come to its final conclusion by the start of the new year. Nothing is promised, but Ill strive to move forward nonetheless.

In the coming year, I plan to clear out clutter and sell off things that I no longer need. I’m starting with my closet. I want to make room for new things to come in. As a 40-something year old, I’ve come to accept the fact that I might not ever get back to my 30-something year old body. But even if I do, I will move on to new things anyways. I have a new frame of mind when it comes to dressing. I’m in a new era. I care more about being comfortably dressed, but still, always, I am for style. I think confidence shines through when you are not fussing with things that make you physically uncomfortable.

I want to get back to working on creative projects, making new art. I want to get more things done, and hesitate less.

MORE EVP TESTS WITH PRINCE ROGERS NELSON

Now that the weather's cooled down and there is less to do in the garden, I've brought my focus back to doing EVP using the EVPMaker software. From my experience, EVP as a phenomenon is occurring all the time, but it often only captured by chance. To do it intentionally, with good audio clarity is a different story, It's not really anything I can control, because it is them on the other side causing it. The best that I can contribute is to continue to do the recordings so that they can test and practice the methodology . . .

ART UPDATE: PRINTING WITH LIGHT ACTIVATED DYES

I've been experimenting with light activated dyes for a couple of weeks. It's been an interesting experience. The dyes react with UV light, and so different printing techniques can be applied. It's an interesting medium for me to work with, as both a photographer and a textile artist, I get to print on both paper and fabric. Here are some of the results from my experiments.

I painted the dye onto silk. I created folds and placed it under some lace and exposed it to light. It created this interesting mosaic effect.

TEST YOUR ABILITY TO HEAR VOICES FROM THE OTHER SIDE – AN EVP LISTENING TEST

I just finished reading a book called EVP: Scientific Proof! by Alexander MacRae. The author of this book, is a long time EVP researcher, and a former NASA speech scientist. I first learned of him from a documentary about EVP some time ago. In this book, he provides evidence to show that EVP (Electronic Voice Phenomenon) is not an illusion. It is in fact, very real, and it can be proven by the voice print spectrographs by comparing an EVP versus . . .

PANDEMIC DIARY: MORE MASK MAKING & EVP – P’s BIRTHDAY, June 7, 2020

As I am writing this, I have  load of mask orders that just came in. So I am posting this before my head starts to spin from all the sewing, as I will be too busy to write.

Store in my area have re-operned, as Phase 2 was announced. They are taking social distancing and sanitary precautions, of course. But still to be honest, I don't want to spend very long in the shops. I just want to get what I'm looking for and get out. No excessive browsing.

REFLECTIONS OF WHAT I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE

As time goes on, I have become wiser to the ways of life. When you are young and naive, you have the world ahead of you, and everything seems possible. It is only when you gain experience that you see who you really are, what the world is like, and how society really is. Something that I come to learn is that death is inevitable, life is fleeting, and to strive for materialism is futile.  

Everything in the physical will always be vulnerable to fall into a state of disrepair. The only combatant is to find ways to maintain a . . .
