Waking Up In The Morning


By Argile Stox
Feb. 5, 2006

I have been writing for Useless-Knowledge Magazine for a little over a year, and have tried to write articles that would appeal to a very large audience. In one of the replies to my article on computers – a reader wrote: “You lost me after the third paragraph.” With that in mind, I have tried to eliminate the “geek” language and keep it simple. My last article concerning the crash of my computer seemed to go over well; for I did not receive any negative comments (I’m still waiting for someone to challenge the facts of that article – No takers? Okay!).

Today, I would like to discuss the aspect of waking up in the morning (since my heart event, I am happy to wake up in the morning – LOL!). There appears to be a short period of time between waking up and fully waking up – where the brain does not connect to the area’s of the mind, which contain worries, problems, situations that need to be resolved, etc. I am talking about that brief period of time – as the coffee is dripping into the pot, where all is right with the world. In that brief period of disconnect, my mind and body is at ease.

The only time I can recall feeling like that – were the age’s between seven and ten years old. At that time, I really did not have a care in the world – everything was provided and all I had to do was follow the commands of my relatives. That was about it. Yeah, there was a brief period when I did not want to leave the house for kindergarten, first grade, etc. However, I had no real concerns.

A former co-worker once stated: “When you wake up in the morning and pick up the telephone receiver – and there is a dial-tone, it is a going to be a good day." I really did not know what the true meaning of that statement was – until, there was a serious black-out in New York City – back in the 1970’s – LOL!

Presently – At fifty-one and a half years on planet Earth, I worry about a ton of things. When I go to sleep, I wonder if my heart and brain will suddenly implement a revenge plot – and cease to function. When I wake up, I am very grateful that my heart and brain decided to give me one more day.

However, when I get out of bed, my body reminds me of the arthritis and degenerative bone disease that is currently wreaking havoc with my pain receptors. Casting that aside for a moment, my mind is at peace – waiting for that morning cup of coffee to jolt my brain back to reality. Sometimes, I intentionally postpone the morning coffee, for about two or three hours. Frankly, I enjoy being disconnected from reality for a few hours – LOL!

Remember the movie “Defending Your Life,” written and directed by Albert Brooks? The character that died in a car crash had to defend certain periods in his life, before going on to another spiritual plane or back to Earth for another incarnation. I often wonder – when your spirit is released and ascends to – wherever, are you a disembodied spirit, a completely naked human, or a clothed human; standing in line to be accepted into – wherever. If you are not accepted, is there a trap door that opens beneath your feet – that sends you somewhere else? At the time of this writing, no one has reported (with any great deal of validity) of what happens when your body ceases to function, and you die.

There is, of course – reincarnation (that happens when you do not successfully defend your life, according to Albert Brooks), when you return to Earth to learn what you did not learn in the previous life. I wonder if notorious figures of the twentieth century – will be reincarnated in the twenty-first century, to learn something or right the wrongs they created in the previous century. Or, just for the sake of discussion – is there a waiting list of time that a spirit must endure, until the time (forgive the pun) is right for their return to Earth. If there is another place that a spirit must go – to atone for the mistakes of a previous life, are they ever given a reprieve to return to Earth and or do they go on to another spiritual plane? Here is a thought: When you die, you just die – that is it!

Yeah, I know - the questions raised in this article will invite theological responses from every religious sector of the U-K community. Relax everyone, I have not had my morning coffee yet, and my brain is not communicating with certain sectors of my mind. Therefore, I am not fully awake, yet! I also wonder, if there is a spiritual form of the Internet – and if there is a U-K forum there, as well?

It is time for my morning cup of coffee, and return to reality. As for the questions raised in this article – As Rose-Anna – Rose-Anna Danna would say: “Never Mind!”
