A New Game

For years we have had a hand-held slot machine game on the back of the toilet in our master bathroom. It is incentive for me to take the time to sit and allow body functions to do their thing. While this might seem like too much information for some, the process of allowing time and appreciating the process is a direct result of my having postoperative ileus. POI is a common complication where normal gut movement (peristalsis) temporarily stops after surgery, causing a functional blockage, not a physical one. Symptoms include bloating, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and inability to pass gas or stool, leading to delayed eating. Management focuses on supportive care like IV fluids, nutrition, and sometimes a nasogastric tube. NOTE – This photo is from 2012.

I can testify that a nasogastric tube is not fun…. but even challenging situations produce welcome awareness.

Starting a new game on the slot machine gives you 500 points. YEARS ago, I had the machine up to almost 20,000 when the battery died. Since that time I have been curious whether the machine was programed to end at 20,000 or if the battery life produced the premature end of an endless game.

On Thursday, I got the machine up to 19,990!!!! I was ecstatic to know the reality of the playing of this game — downright giddy when I hit the max bet button. The illuminated display went to 19,999 and went no higher. I could place bets and the display would show me wins, but no additional score could or would be added. I waited two full days to manually end that game and start a new one.

In NEXT 3 WEEKS Ignite the 2026 REVOLUTION — 3I/ATLAS Begins a 12,000-Year Reset with Pam Gregory and Emilio Ortiz she is sharing the astrology for these last few weeks of 2025 and into 2026. Watching, I saw and felt the direct correlation to this slot machine game. The past has been filled with wins and losses but, all along there have been operations and rules and processes that have been (and are) at play. Reasons for things exist outside of my knowledge.

I appreciate recognizing a higher expression of ourselves — a more multidimensional, a more living, a more loving being. I appreciate awareness that processes have been in play for thousands of years and this time is scripted for our success. A few statements in the 90 minute talk have stayed central in my mind. They open my heart and they will be with me as we play this new game:

Don’t give life support to what’s dying.
This is fertilizer for your soul.
Turn your focus to what we want to create.
