We are Thoughts in the Mind of God
After meeting Archangel Michael at Age 2 when he kept me from dying of whooping cough I wanted to become like him to rescue others they way I was rescued by the Archangels. So, I prayed for this growing up. Eventually, I was given a paradigm shift which almost killed me around 21 or 22 years of age while I was in college.
Then I found I could travel around the world through Bi-location as I found astral projection (projecting your soul out of your body) can leave it vulnerable to bad things possessing your body while you are gone. So, I learned instead to be 2 or more places at once in consciousness. So, I was still in my body guarding it while being more than one place at a time as a mind or soul body.
In my early 20s I still believed there were always a point A (where we were) and a Point B (where we wanted to get to).
I believed this for many years into my 20s until I finally realized after bi-locating throughout this Galaxy and to other galaxies that time and space were not ultimately real.
So, I then discovered by age 30 that a real Soul Traveling Master knows this. He or she knows that he or she is everywhere in time and space already. So, there is no (Going Anywhere) because you are already there.
And the reason you are already there is that each of us are only thoughts in the mind of God.
And part of the mind of God is what we call the Physical universe.
Also, it is not necessary to call the physical universe God, you can just as easily call it Buddha or even "The Nature of the Universe" or even "The Force" as Yoda might say.
All are equally true depending upon your traditions you were raised with.
But, for me, I am a thought in the mind of God and so are you.
And beyond that, how do you separate any thought you think from your identity?
Your thoughts are a stream of consciousness. There are no breaks (unless you consider sleeping or daydreaming) breaks. So, every thought you think is one stream of consciousness.
So, if each of us are God's thoughts, then we are also inherently all of God's thoughts too. There is no way to separate the thought from the wholeness of God, is there?
Therefore, if you understand you are a thought in the mind of God you are also a part of the wholeness of God that is everywhere in Time and Space even though time and space are not ultimately real. Only Being is real.
Time is not real, Space is not real.
Only Being is real which is eternal.
We are only thoughts in the mind of God and there is no way to separate one thought from all the others.
Take care of all the other thoughts of God because that is God's wish for you and I.

The Exile from Russia of Princess Helen of Serbia
Exile
Swedish diplomats obtained permission for Helen's mother-in-law Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mavrikievna to leave Russia with Helen's children, Vsevelod and Catherine, and her own two younger children, Prince George Constantinovich and Princess Vera Constantinovna, in October 1918 aboard the Swedish ship Angermanland. Helen remained imprisoned at Perm until Norwegian diplomats located her and had her transferred. She was then kept prisoner at the Kremlin Palace before finally being allowed to leave and join her children in Sweden.[8]Helen eventually settled at Nice, France. She never remarried.

Princess Helen of Serbia - Wikipedia,
I met the present reincarnation of Helen who looks almost exactly like this again and is in her late 20s or early 30s and is a surgeon. I couldn't figure out what exactly was happening because the energy was so different. Then because it was so odd I began to trace my connection to this person through lifetimes. When I discovered who she was at first I thought she was my wife in that lifetime. But no, it turned out I was Alexei the Crown prince with hemophilia which I find completely mind boggling. the tsarina my mother then came through time to tell me this. It seemed quite important to her for me to know who I was then. It took me several days after she traveled forward through time to tell me this from her death in 1918. So, I was really blown away by the effort she made so I would get this all straight. Then I saw the resemblance to me now. As a child all the women doting on me like I was a prince. this happened again in my present lifetime from age zero to 4 years of age to the point where the women gave me so much candy it rotted out all my front teeth so my father made me have them all pulled with no novacaine so I would be a man and not eat so much candy from women in the future. Amazing!
Also, women always loved me all my life and so I just got used to this. My mother and grandmother raised me to be the ideal man all women love so that is what I became, a gentleman always around women. This meant that I always had a girlfriend constantly from age 15 until I got married at age 26. So, it's amazing how one lifetime dovetails into another!
The Casual Vacancy Miniseries: By J.K. Rowling
It premiered on HBO in the U.S. April 29th and my wife and I saw the first two of three episodes of the Miniseries set in England. We found it sort of creepy like a mini-series on a meditation on Death and impermanence. This was our thought about it. However, it is well written and sort of a mystery.

Summary
 |
This section contains content that is written like an advertisement. (February 2015) |
Differences from the novel
|
This section requires expansion. (March 2015) |
- In the novel, public opinion in Pagford is divided over the parish council's impending decision to reassign the Fields, a run-down sink estate, to the district council of the nearby city, Yarvil – thereby off-loading responsibility for its drug-addled inhabitants, and driving them out of the school catchment area. In the TV series, however, the controversial issue is whether to close the local community centre, including its methadone clinic, and convert the country house (gifted to the village by a philanthropist) where it is located into a spa.
- Barry and Simon are half-brothers in the TV series (which gives Simon extra incentive to run for the council since he believes he will get sympathy votes), while they are of no relation in the novel.
- Barry and Mary have four children in the novel, however they do not appear nor are they referred to in the TV version.
- Gavin Hughes, Catherine Weedon, Patricia Mollison and Dane Tully are omitted in the TV series.
- In the novel, Barry Fairbrother works as a bank manager; in the TV series, he is partners with Miles Mollison in a solicitors' firm (which is Gavin Hughes's job in the novel).
- No mention is made of Krystal's talent for rowing in the TV version.
- In the book, Krystal wants to attends Barry's funeral, but stays home to keep her drug-addicted mother out of trouble. In the TV series, Krystal takes Robbie to the funeral and speaks with Fats by Barry's grave.
- The book, Barry knows Krystal because she is a member of the school rowing team he coaches. In the TV series, Barry knows Krystal's mother, Terry, from his time growing up in the Fields. In both, his interest in Krystal is based on the fact that he grew up in the Fields and has done well for himself, and he believes Krystal can do the same.
- Aubrey and Julia Fawley become Lord and Lady Sweetlove in the TV series. In the novel, the Fawleys only descended through a collateral line from the aristocratic Sweetloves, and bought the house in the 1950s.
- Barry Fairbrother's coffin is a regular coffin, instead of the environment-friendly wicker that outrages Howard Mollison. Also cut from Barry Fairbrother's funeral service is Rihanna's song Umbrella, played at the end to the shock of the attendees, in reference to Krystal Weedon's performance of it during their rowing competition bus trips.
- Colin in the novel is shown to have excessive OCD to the point he constantly worries about having inappropriate thoughts about children and Fats reveals this on The_Ghost_Of_Barry_Fairbrother account destroying any chance he had of being elected to the vacant seat on the council. In the TV series, Colin is simply shown to be incredibly awkward and indecisive and in fact loses the election by one single vote (with Colin having voted against himself).
- In the TV series a new scene was added were Fats masturbated with Krystal in the philosophy section of Pagford library to send Colin "feral".
- In the novel, Tessa Wall is shown to be overweight and diabetic. In the TV series, Tessa does not appear to have any of these problems
- In the novel, Gaia and Kay Bawden's relationship is shown to be strained after they moved to Pagford from London, to be with Kay's boyfriend Gavin, against Gaia's will and their race is not stated. However, in the TV series, they are both black, they moved to be in 'white country' and their relationship appears to be close and strong.
- Parminder brings up Howard's weight problem (breaching doctor-patient confidentiality) during a council meeting in the book, while on the TV series it occurs during a dinner party.
- A subplot from the novel involving Samantha Mollison having an escapist infatuation with a singer from a One Direction-like boy band, and eventually kissing Andrew Price, is absent from the TV series. Instead, Samantha is briefly shown flirting with Vikram Jawanda and the series focuses on the animosity between her and Shirley, with Shirley turning Samantha's daughters against her.
- In the novel, Howard's affair with Maureen is revealed to the teens by Patricia Mollison, Howard and Shirley's lesbian daughter who is somewhat shunned by the family but is invited to Howard's birthday party. In the TV series, Andrew Price catches Howard and Maureen in the act, films it, and posts it on the parish council's website.
- In the novel, upon finding out about Howard's affair with Maureen, Shirley is on her way to kill him when she finds he has had a heart attack. In the TV series, Howard is present when she finds out about the affair which is what causes the heart attack and while Shirley makes no direct attempt to kill him, she is initially willing to let him die rather than call an ambulance.
- In the novel, Obbo rapes Krystal after she refused to allow Terri to buy drugs from him, while in the TV series Krystal got Obbo arrested and upon his release from prison he only promised revenge before her death.
- In the novel, Krystal leaves Robbie unattended in a grassy field while she goes to have sex with Fats in an attempt to get pregnant. Robbie goes down to the bank of a river, falls in, and drowns, and the resulting guilt causes Krystal to commit suicide via a heroin overdose. In the TV series it is only Krystal who dies; rather than having sex with Fats, she claims she is already pregnant by him (it is not revealed if this is the truth) only for him to reject her. When she finds Robbie missing, Krystal goes down to the river bank and sees his shoe floating in the river. Assuming that Robbie has fallen in, she jumps in to try and find him, however she gets tangled up in some cables from a television and a computer that Simon had thrown into the river some days earlier, and she drowns. Robbie had not actually fallen into the water; after losing his shoe while play fishing, he was found by Vikram Jawanda out on a morning run, who took him home for safety. As a result of these events, Robbie is finally removed from Terri and taken into care.
- Sukhvinder Jawanda is reduced to a background part and depicted as an only daughter; her prettier, smarter and more popular siblings Jaswant and Rajpal are never seen. Her self-harm caused by her repeated bullying and her feeling that she does not live up to her mother's expectations is cut entirely, and she does not leave a message on the parish council website as "The_Ghost_Of_Barry_Fairbrother" claiming that her mother was in love with Barry Fairbrother. She also is not present when Krystal drowns, and her feat of heroism is not featured. She does serve as the narrator for the recap sequences in Episodes Two and Three and is frequently seen as a silent witness to what goes on in the town.
- The TV adaptation is set in the early summer of 2015 (a stone marker at Sweelove House gives the date it was bequeathed to the village as 1865, and Episode Two recap sequence says this took place 150 years ago), while the novel is set in around 2008 (there is a reference to a grave of someone who died in 2008 as one of the "newer graves" at the cemetery in Yarvil, and it is around the time the song Umbrella was released).

Critical reception
The critical response to the opening episode was mostly positive. In a particularly praise-filled review for Digital Spy, Cameron McKewan described the series as having a "perfect cast with a biting script". He summarised: "It's a cracking first instalment for the three-part series with bountiful characters to take in, and the relationships not clearly defined from the outset (rewardingly so)"[14] In a review for The Guardian, Stuart Jeffries also gave a positive response, whilst describing the series as "The Archers meets Benefit Street"[15] Comparing the TV adaptation more positively than the novel itself, Gerard O'Donovan, in a review for The Telegraph, awarded the series opener 4 out of 5 stars. He optimistically summarised: "...the performances are uniformly good, the direction is inventive, and there’s an undeniable topicality and panache to this adaptation that convinces you that just around the corner something will pull it all together and make it succeed."[16] Ellen E Jones, writing for The Independent, took a similar approach with review title: "JK Rowling's story is a far better drama than it is a book"[17]Elsewhere, however, reception to the series opening episode were less favourable. Writing a review for the Daily Mail, Jan Moir headed her review with: "Nasty nimby toffs and typical Tory-bashing from the Beeb" noting how "the Beeb was desperate to get this substandard work of working class oppression and parish council venality onto the small screen." She concluded her review with the question: "We are promised some redemption in this television adaptation, but where and when?"[18] In a riposte to Moir's review, Grace Dent of The Independent opined that "it was odd to read reports that the show was attacking the middle classes and glorifying 'the noble savage'. It was glaringly clear, to me at least, from Phelps’ script that while Michael Gambon’s character Howard Mollison was indeed a terrible snob, we could hardly disagree that the 'feral' kids wiping bogeys down his deli window were spoiling village ambience. These were difficult notions of 'village life' – the junkies, the domestic abusers, the shark-like property developers, the upwardly mobiles, [and] the downwardly spiralling". She summarised that "It must be quite exhausting to feel... lost in a righteous lather over how closet communists [at the BBC] are frittering away your 40p a day."[19]

Early life
The strong-minded, purposeful Helen, whose mother died when she was a small child, was brought up largely under the care of her aunts Stana and Milica and educated in Russia at the Smolny Institute, a school in St. Petersburg for well-born girls. "She was a very sweet-faced though plain girl, with beautiful dark eyes, very quiet and amiable in manner," wrote Margaretta Eagar, governess to the daughters of Tsar Nicholas II. Eagar wrote that Helen, then about seventeen, often came to tea with another of her aunts, Princess Vera of Montenegro, and cousins. Young Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna of Russia was very fond of her.[2]Engagement and marriage

Helen studied medicine at the University of St. Petersburg following their marriage, a career pursuit she had to give up when she gave birth to her first child.[5] The couple had two children, Prince Vsevelod Ivanovich ( 20 January 1914 – 18 June 1973), and Princess Catherine Ivanovna born in Pavlovsk on ( 12 July 1915 - died in Montevideo, Uruguay on 14 July 2007). The three children and seven grandchildren of her daughter Princess Catherine, who married and later separated from Marchese Farace di Villaforesta, are the only great-grandchildren of Grand Duke Constantine Constantinovich of Russia and his wife Grand Duchess Elisabeth Mavrikievna.[6]
Revolution
Helen voluntarily followed her husband into exile when he was arrested following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and tried to obtain his release. John was imprisoned first at Yekaterinburg, Siberia and later moved to Alapaevsk, a town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, by the Bolsheviks, where he was murdered on 18 July 1918 along with Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna, Grand Duke Sergei Mikhailovich; John's brothers Constantine Constantinovich and Igor Constantinovich, his distant cousin Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley; Grand Duke Sergei's secretary, Fyodor Remez; and Varvara Yakovleva, a sister from the Grand Duchess Elizabeth's convent. They were herded into the forest by the local Bolsheviks, pushed into an abandoned mineshaft and grenades were then hurled into the mineshaft.Imprisonment
John had persuaded Helen to leave Alapaevsk and go back to their two young children, whom she had left with John's mother, Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mavrikievna of Russia, but Helen was arrested at Yekaterinburg and imprisoned herself at Perm in 1918. During her imprisonment, the Bolsheviks brought a girl who called herself Anastasia Romanova to her cell and asked her if the girl was Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. Helen said she didn't recognize the girl and the guards took her away.[7]Exile
Swedish diplomats obtained permission for Helen's mother-in-law Grand Duchess Elizaveta Mavrikievna to leave Russia with Helen's children, Vsevelod and Catherine, and her own two younger children, Prince George Constantinovich and Princess Vera Constantinovna, in October 1918 aboard the Swedish ship Angermanland. Helen remained imprisoned at Perm until Norwegian diplomats located her and had her transferred. She was then kept prisoner at the Kremlin Palace before finally being allowed to leave and join her children in Sweden.[8]Helen eventually settled at Nice, France. She never remarried.
