TREE HOUSE NEWS 🏡

Land of Whispering Pines 🌲

Good morning! May the Great Spirit bless you 🙏

Thanks for dropping by the Newsroom. It's another beautiful, sunny summer day, and I savor every moment of what's left of the summer, even while doing the news. I sit here in a comfy office chair at the kitchen table, next to the open sliding glass door that leads to my green space, where I can hear the melody of a mixture of cicadas and chirping birds among the trees.

I never forget to thank the Great Spirit for providing us with our needs, and I am also thankful for the little bonuses. Example: The drone was just a pipe dream of having one, let alone owning one and flying it. Or the star projector that projects the stars of the universe on the ceiling. And the laser projector. The Great Spirit does sometimes surprise me with a little bonus.

Of course, I'm well-tuned in with what's going on behind the scenes in the 21st century, just as well as I was in the 20th. Actually, my instincts are more finely tuned, and I learn something new every day. I have what I call a built-in High-Resolution Imaging sensory system in my cerebral cortex. It's called imagination. Imagination turns on the light so you can see the pictures better. 😉

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

Instincts, Feelings & Cognition

- Google Search -

Instincts, feelings, and cognition are interconnected and play crucial roles in human behavior. Instincts are innate, automatic responses to stimuli, often driven by survival needs. Feelings, or emotions, are subjective experiences that involve physiological and psychological changes. Cognition encompasses thinking, reasoning, and decision-making processes. While often presented as separate, these aspects of human experience are deeply intertwined and influence each other.

I am able to see things on a higher plane of vibration or details that others often overlook or do not even seem to notice the existence of. I used to do the psychological thing exceptionally well, being invisible to someone I didn't care to encounter, even in plain sight, just standing next to another object like a parked vehicle, a telephone pole, another person, or simply standing still next to a building, etc.

Power Of Suggestion:

The power of suggestion refers to the influence that words, actions, or even thoughts can have on someone's behavior, beliefs, or perceptions.

I simply became part of the background or surroundings in my mind; all they see is a nondescript shape. But just the tiniest doubt, one tiny twitch of the hand, they see you.

As for things that are unnoticed by other bystanders, that particular detail, whether small or big — three identical brick buildings, one of which has a missing brick — I notice the missing brick; others don't. Yet it is there for anyone to see if they stop long enough and look. I also believe that there are many more people around with a higher level of cognitivity, and they may simply ignore it or have no desire to discuss it. To them, going into the details would feel like the tiny spider has suddenly turned into some kind of giant, hairy, many-tentacled beast from outer space, or it sends a shiver up their spine like someone has stepped on their grave.

Some of the girls would run away screaming just at the appearance of a spider in the room. I have enough respect and sense not to touch a potential biting or stinging insect, but I also find most insects fascinating when examined in more detail.

Insects may not have much of a brain to think with; They mainly run on instincts for survival and reproduction, but even these tiny living beings also have feelings. All living things have feelings. Why are we so dead set on harming other living organisms' feelings and senses? We have livestock, controlled fisheries for sustenance, and fields to grow edible food. The Bible says:

Genesis 1:28:

"God blessed them and said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.'"

*This verse emphasizes humanity's responsibility to manage and care for the earth's resources.*

Think about hurting a living being unnecessarily next time you order octopus tentacles for supper. 😢 We hurt them, it will hurt us back, we are hurting ourselves by upsetting the Ecosystem, the neuronetwork of nature. 🌏✨

Cory Booker’s message to the Democratic Party: Don’t bend the knee to Trump

Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is imploring his party to fight back harder against President Donald Trump, arguing that history will remember some for their “complicity” in “bending the knee” to him.

In a wide-ranging interview with CNN's Manu Raju, Booker argued that Democrats can gain credibility with voters by showing they're concerned about the American people rather than their party. The New Jersey senator also weighed in on whether his party should embrace its most progressive wing and urged his own state to consider redrawing House maps to fight back against a GOP-led redistricting effort in Texas.

As Democratic voters demand a more aggressive approach toward Trump from party leaders, Booker told CNN he's "going to continue to do what leadership is" and reprehended institutions for what he viewed as caving to pressure from the president...

Go buy a bag full of door stoppers, brake pads, and pipe wrenches to throw into whatever Federal Gears you can find. At this point, I would say that if you get thrown into a swamp, WHICH YOU ARE! You'd better learn to swim really fast, or sink or get ate by the gators. Hey, you kinfolk in the hills!

Alberta minister threatens to axe bike lanes. Can he make his case?

Judge overturned Ontario's bike crackdown, saying province couldn't prove it would ease traffic

The provincial government that routinely demands Ottawa stay in its jurisdictional lane is keen to swerve into another jurisdiction's lanes.

Bicycle lanes.

Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen has signalled he wants cities, particularly Edmonton and Calgary, to alter or remove any cycling lanes that impede automobile traffic — and avoid future bike lanes that do so. If they don't, Alberta might create the powers to do so itself

Alberta wouldn't be the first province to insert itself into the bike lane debate, following fellow conservative politicians in Ontario and, more recently, Nova Scotia. Whether it's dubbed ending the "war on cars" or fighting for "common sense," the fight over which road users get asphalt space has sounded similar across the country...

Canada's trade minister eyes new markets, smaller trade delegations

Maninder Sidhu says his phone has been ringing because people want 'stable trading partners'

Ottawa's new trade minister says he's looking to sign deals in South America, Southeast Asia, Africa and beyond — and to convince businesses to actually use the trade agreements Canada has already signed. "My primary role as Canada's top salesman is to be out there hustling, opening doors for businesses and accessing new markets," Maninder Sidhu told The Canadian Press.

"My phone has been ringing with opportunities because people want to deal with reliable, stable trading partners." Prime Minister Mark Carney has tasked Dominic LeBlanc as the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade. Sidhu's job focuses on countries other than the U.S...
