Dear Shirley< Earth Angel:

I find parallels between the book “The Barcode Tattoo” as you tell it and real life marketing. I don’t think there is any area in life as much tracked as what people purchase and who purchase what, all for the purpose of increasing sales. The scanning barcodes in supermarket and anywhere else really is about gathering information about how much of what is sold and by whom. Same with sales online. Company aim at getting this information and collecting it for the purpose of maximizing sales, profits. So every time we purchase something, it is like a tattoo. The advertising of things to buy affects very much what people believe they need, then they buy these things, and more advertising follows. So it is a real life, everywhere fact of life: we are tracked and molded by the highly motivated marketing industries.

Virtual reality headphones, like in the Matrix movies… and like reading your posts, as in the above: ” i had a dream last night that i was letting go of all the attachments of the world and i felt myself develop wings and fly upon the stars where there was light and rainbows everywhere..” I can see you flying upon the stars with light and rainbow, quite a sight!

Hope you team up with Andrew regarding your virtual reality quest. Like Kayla who was good at art while others good at technology, in a teaming with Andrew, you would be the one whose strength is in art, and he maybe more in technology.

Your transfer of energy example makes me think of abuse (again, comparing science to human behavior)- when a person is distressed, the person tends (unfortunately) to transfer the distress to an innocent other so to be relieved, as in “misery likes company.” The key is when feeling distressed is to not transfer it by criticizing another and otherwise mistreating another.

Till your next post, take care of you, Earth Angel!
