      Making Karma Relatable

      I’ve recently learned your subconscious only knows you. So any negative judgment you make gets internalized applied to yourself. I’ve been under “attack” so to speak by various people for various things. It’s a work in progress but I’m slowly learning how to not take things personally because negative judgement is just a display of their own insecurities. What I’m trying to focus on is learning to love myself and them through it so we both come out as happier and healthier individuals in the end.

          It’s not an easy lesson to learn, an ongoing process.

          My first reaction to aggressive negativity is usually either my feelings get hurt and I shut down or I get defensive.   Flipping the script internally takes a little bit of time for me so my heart gets in the right place.  Then I can carry on just being me and loving every minute of it.

              A lot of symbolism bottled up in here.  I had a story to tell, and then I went into another picture, and lost the original train of thought.  Regained it, but lost the drive to tell the story 🙂  Had to do with eagles and snakes together.  I probably need to think about it more.

                Mind if we chat a bit about the SERPs and what is considered “authoritative” content?

                While I’m not on top of current SEO practices I can’t imagine they’ve changed all that much.   I just browsed my industry and the same players are at the top.

                Here’s the thing, the search engines gauge authority based on the number of links into the site (consider them votes).  Then age of site / activity / bounce rate, etc come into play.

                The whole thing is gamed.  I used to dominate my entire area in search engine rankings.    I serviced 3 counties, about 40 towns in each one, and dozens of communities within each town.    My site was #1 in most, top 5 in the rest.   Until the deep pocket players got involved and paid people to beat us, the individual realtors, out of the top ranks in the market.   They were successful because most of us couldn’t spend the time to compete and actually work our job.

                When I look at the content they provide, while it sounds professional & educational, it’s also quite generic.  It’s “authoritative” because it comes from a well known org, that has lots of backlinks from all kinds of sites, but not because they provide any type of insight you can’t find anywhere else.  In fact, I’ve had some of those top SEO players scrape my stuff to use as their own for their clients.  The tools for the bots: Scraper

                I’m suggesting you could possible reconsider the definition of authority.
                Does unique content or insights count? What if it’s older than the last 2 years and could easily be woven into modern technology uses?  Long tail keywords are what the smaller players use to try to gain some of the search engine traffic now.    Not saying some of them don’t produce generic material as well.  For awhile, part of the algo was heavily weighing activity, so some did resort to paying bloggers just to post, including myself.   Till I decided it was a waste of money.

                Anyway, I probably should have asked what the goal was before going off :). I got hung up on the word “authority” and well, there she blows!

                  This one is very trippy, @fiesty    check it!

                  I was feeling a bit steamy the other night and decided to download my games.  Guess what was in there?  PoE with 20.2 hrs played 🙂  I’m going to update it and see what I remember from it.   But that wasn’t the trippy part…

                    The play list.   Odd one for me as well.  Nice beat to bounce to though.

                      Heya @Fiesty!

                      I was thinking about you today.  Wondering where you had disappeared to.  Happy to see you again 🙂

                      I was driving to a famous location which was a pretty awesome sync for today.  As I was driving I past this gas station.  It looked incredibly familiar to me.  So I turned around and went back.  There was a water company guy there and I asked him if it was in a movie.  He said he thought so, and Grand Theft Auto too.  But, I looked up GTA and the pics I saw were different.  Any ideas on this?

                        Another cool thing happened while I was waiting for lunch to arrive.  My phone started playing on it’s own again.  Happened a few times last spring.  First time since then.

                          Song pop

                          A musical performer was my dream.  I reenacted multiple plays in my backyard and charged admission to see them.   My version of a lemonade stand.

                              Young and free is the way to be 🙂

                              I did sing that Yellow submarine song a lot in Florida.   There’s a roadside attraction there, but they had it closed off to the public when I went to go see it.

                                I think everyone experiences the syncs and just isn’t aware of it happening.  Once you are though, it can be a really fun and/or funny experience.

                                This one was funny in a different kind of way.   Reminded me of the old man screaming get those kids off my lawn.

                                  Saving babies is the theme.

                                  I remember thinking he stole my baby carriage when I started putting the pieces together.  It made me laugh pretty hard.  Im still appreciative of it to this day.

                                  Not only did he steal it (creatively speaking), but he let me play in his sandbox too.

                                  A sandbox that’s big enough for all of us.  Where we can all dig up our treasures and build sandcastles, trading spaces and places.

                                  Mining for gold.  Back in those days it was rare moon minerals.

                                  Is it cyclical?  I do remember a bike involved at one time too.

                                    Dots and ducks go hand in hand.

                                    A terrific team.

                                    A desert duck pool is a dream I had.  Where the rubber meets the sand.  It was a party, naturally speaking.  Two of us got to watch it from a higher perspective.  A mountain top view under the stars.

                                      Back to the substance abuse topic which seems to be a reoccurring theme this week.  Multiple syncs on this line.

                                      My experiences with drugs…  Didn’t try many things, tried Ecstasy cause the name sounded cool and I saw lots of people dancing like crazy at raves, and pot.   After a few tries, decided I didn’t really like either.   Both just put me in a stoned like state.  Didn’t feel like moving at all.  Weird effect, especially since I’m quite capable of getting in that state without taking them.  On pot I couldn’t control my mind racing which I didn’t enjoy either and had to wait it out.  Nothing fun happened with either.

                                      My addictions –  Coffee and cigarettes for a long time.   Switched to vape and dropped the nicotine all the way down to 3mg over time.  Gaming was/is an addiction too.   I enjoy all 3.

                                      Flying High – my latest and greatest addiction.  Best thing about this one, it happens naturally, and I tie in my other 3 as I go.   Here’s the thing with a natural high, not only is it legal, self created, it keeps life exciting and entertaining.

                                      I know there’s some  big words that name the chemicals and hormones that fire off when I get into that state.  I’m just going to call it High on Life.

                                      And who wouldn’t be?   Super powers unlock, you have incredible experiences, it’s fun, exciting, makes you feel like life’s worth living again.

                                      I connect the dots as I go 🙂

                                        The mission statement

                                        Created by a guy who followed his dream.

                                        Religions are too complicated, get to the point. And it came in the form of a monument for all to see and celebrate regardless of any race, sex, or stereotype.

                                          X Marks the Spot – We see what we choose to see.

                                          So for this location I did decide to read the reviews.  I had zoomed in on the map and saw a bunch of landmark type of icons on it so I wanted to see where I wanted to go.   The reviews I read where a combination of people saying how great it was and others saying how it was a den of drug users.  The latter was a bit worrisome, but I went anyway.  I did also read it also had low population in the summer time time because it was too hot, and the snow birds went home.  That made me feel better too.

                                          I’m happy to say I found so much beauty everywhere.  Right place, right time?

                                            When I pick the locations I go to it’s because something in the pictures catches my eye.  Rarely do I read the reviews, their pretty meaningless most of the time anyway.  So many different opinions on what’s “good” and what’s “bad”.   I like to decide that for myself.  I’m pretty proud to say there isn’t a single place I’ve visited that I haven’t found a beautiful story in.  Some I even had emotional breakdowns along the way not understanding the “why” of it all.  But, even with that, it still ended with a level up.

                                              When I visited Slab City I think it was 106 degrees at the peak.  The place was pretty empty.  It was so hot that my phone even turned off from over heating just taking pictures.

                                                    Lots of kids looking for their sneakers. I found them all in Slab City, where the weather is hot and the art has free rein.

                                                      Here’s the best part, my sync with my friend @maxfin from yesterday.

                                                      Ask and you shall receive.  All for the love of God.

                                                      In us, around us, all the time.

                                                      Love thy neighbor as thyself.

                                                      The mirror.

                                                      Planned months ago and manifesting at the perfect time.
