I began a major endeavor this month to re-edit all of the Blog posts that I had written over the years, and it has re-opened many of the hopes and dreams that I once shared while writing and sharing messages at Contoveros.Wordpress.com.
It all started with a dream I had about Socrates and Plato which connected with my “active imagination” that the eminent psychologist Carl G. Yung had wrote about in hisPsychology of the Unconscious.
I started seeing persons in my life as guides. I called them “angels,” and opened myself to something inside that I rarely had contact with: “My Inside Spirit.” That’s the one that all of us have if we but still ourselves from everyday activities and write from our heart and soul – both of which can be contacted when we “go inside ourselves.” That is when my writing started and is still going some 15 years later.
The Vietnam War held many stories that I composed and so did my job as a lawyer practicing criminal law in Philadelphia courtrooms. Let’s not forget all the posts I wrote about mindfulness meditation as well as the spiritual groups that studied Buddhism, the Kabbalah, Gnostic Christianity and the Sufi as taught by Rumi.
I was eternally grateful that I hardly ever wrote about politics. I shared how I opened myself to Reiki applications as well as to sweat lodge experiences and attendance at a Native American “Pow Wow.”

Travelling around the world was thrilling, especially while visiting Greece, the homeland of my father and Germany where my mother’s mother departed when coming to America.
Korea opened me to WON Buddhism studies as well as kimchi. Next, came my trip to Alaska where my step-grandfather was taken to mine for gold for two years after he was shanghaied after being drugged for his entrapment and the eventual travel to what became the 49th state in the USA.
Talk about Eye-Openers!
I highly recommend this act of “Blog Post-revisiting” to all of my blogging friends as well as everyone else who simply likes to read about someone’s individual history. It can be quite memorable.

My good friend NikkiHealsPayne,
Going over your past writings is kinda like reading one of your favorite books of all-time once again.
I’d revisit stories (blog posts?) by Mark Twain any old day!

Absolutely! I read and reread and reread again my favorite blogger relationships insights by Yernasia Quorelois. It saddened me when the blogs stopped being written and I realized the friend I had made I would probably never hear from again and then I had this beautiful innermost knowing just because I’ve never met this person just because I never read another blog doesn’t mean I’ll never hear from them again and I can reread everything they’ve ever written and I can sit inside myself and remember many many conversations that we have and some days I can hear them inside of my head as if they were right next to me to speak of a guide on this planet as you did earlier well my friend I understand 🙂↕️ and am ever grateful for each of mine I have had the opportunity of connecting with 😉

Yessss! Thank you for sharing this fantastic idea! On occasion I have felt guided to an Old Post of mine or another’s and found it’s exactly what I needed in that moment! It’s amazing what stillness actually lends to us 🤗
