		<description>Kenny it&#039;s always a treat for me to read your comments on the blog, thank you yet again my friend! :-)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Don&#039;t know any Roan&#039;s yet in Norway...have to ask my wife and her mom, I&#039;ll get back to you about it if they do know any locals here with your norsk family&#039;s name.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In any case Kenny we&#039;re practically related now brother, so do know that we consider you part of our happy viking family.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Love your theory and suggestions of the curious balls of light, yes what you put forth makes good sense to me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One final thought on all that you shared...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(which goes well beyond what words can convey...and yet somehow your writing does convey it Kenny! :-))&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe that we can only perceive in another what we know in our Self.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just wanted to re-mind each of us of that Truth within a &quot;dream of perception.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whenever we extend anything to another, we are recognizing that we know it as well inside.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So Kenny, right back at you brother!  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As you wrote quite well with the words, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;...So since you have a passion towards people,just continue writing and your words will touch people no matter where they may be and when they read it common sense tells them that God works in Great ways, thru others.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kenny, you true viking you, I can only add...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peace, God is.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kenny it&#39;s always a treat for me to read your comments on the blog, thank you yet again my friend! <img src='http://timothybertowen.com/interviews/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Don&#39;t know any Roan&#39;s yet in Norway&#8230;have to ask my wife and her mom, I&#39;ll get back to you about it if they do know any locals here with your norsk family&#39;s name.</p>
<p>In any case Kenny we&#39;re practically related now brother, so do know that we consider you part of our happy viking family.</p>
<p>Love your theory and suggestions of the curious balls of light, yes what you put forth makes good sense to me.</p>
<p>One final thought on all that you shared&#8230;</p>
<p>(which goes well beyond what words can convey&#8230;and yet somehow your writing does convey it Kenny! <img src='http://timothybertowen.com/interviews/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</p>
<p>I believe that we can only perceive in another what we know in our Self.</p>
<p>Just wanted to re-mind each of us of that Truth within a &#8220;dream of perception.&#8221;</p>
<p>Whenever we extend anything to another, we are recognizing that we know it as well inside.  </p>
<p>So Kenny, right back at you brother!  </p>
<p>As you wrote quite well with the words, </p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;So since you have a passion towards people,just continue writing and your words will touch people no matter where they may be and when they read it common sense tells them that God works in Great ways, thru others.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kenny, you true viking you, I can only add&#8230;</p>
<p>Peace, God is.</p>

		<description>Tim,Kenny here again I sure hope you are having a great morning,this new relationship of ours is pretty cool cause my wife and her family are from Norway.I think they spell it Roan?and the name is Bakken on her family tree,just thought you might want to know that so heck we may be family and not even know it.So back to your message this ball of light in your picture must be some form of energy,may be it happens to people that really need to share heart felt feelings to the world,cause the true power of God we would not be able to handle the brightness anyway so if you are having this happen in a simple photo,then just keep doing what you are doing and continue giving,cause that old saying is true the more we give the more we get back,did&#039;nt Jesus constanly give?The lord works thru us all in ways that our simple little minds can not take and figure out so we are always trying to do just that,if we really learned to follow our heart and not our head I think we as man kind would be better off.Of course your mind and heart work as one,because I have this little saying,no one is Stupid if you are not aware of something you just don&#039;t know about it but once someone shares it with you,you can then make up your own mind and then your common sense comes into play and you see if you even like it or not.And if you like it and have a passion towards it you will succeed at it no matter what it may be.So since you have a passion towards people,just continue writing and your words will touch people no matter where they may be and when they read it common sense tells them that God works in Great ways,thru others.Kenny</description>

		<description>Tim,&lt;br&gt;   I don&#039;t know what the orb is, but your post does cause one to pause and wonder.  I think the most successful people, and perhaps the happiest, are those who imagine, believe, do (act).  -Norene</description>

		<description>Wonderful insights Jackie!  Thank you for taking the time to share with us &quot;your imagination.&quot;  :-)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Imagination really is a powerful driver of actions, feelings, joys, doubts, worries, desires, concerns and especially Beliefs!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I personally appreciate the wonderful Peace and confident &quot;state of mind&quot; that you mentioned you enjoy.  Often it seems that as a result of spiritual beliefs/decisions we can offer our Imagination into a place of &quot;higher order&quot; to make some sense of the chaos in this &quot;imaginary world&quot; of ours. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe, as challenging as it may be at times, that we do have Absolute Control over our Thoughts/Imagination...IF we are Aware of the Choice and Take Action with that Choice, especially before we may take too many &quot;unconscious actions&quot; which leave us so &quot;at the Effect&quot; (of our Choices) that we can become utterly convinced we are no longer the Cause of what we might be experiencing.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Awareness&quot; and &quot;Mindfulness&quot; are the words that re-mind me to never surrender my place as the Cause of what I experience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Uncontrolled Imagination&quot; might be better understood as Mental Discipline and even Mind Training being reflected in the daily practice of monitoring our ego thoughts...recognizing them as the defenses against the Truth that they can be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For instance, when I find myself feeling angry, guilty, fearful, anxious and/or depressed etc. I notice that these are all responses to defend against re-membering my True Self...which knows only the Oneness of Heaven&#039;s Love.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe it is only our Mind&#039;s decision that has consigned us to Heaven or to Hell, the realization that we are no longer victims of the world, but only of our own desires and wishes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What you have shared Jackie reminds me now of the statement, &quot;If you love something set it free...&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WHAT FREEDOM!!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No longer at the mercy of things beyond us, forces we cannot control and thoughts that come to us against our will.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The book &quot;A Course in Miracles&quot; in its workbook section has a Lesson 16 titled:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;I Have No Neutral Thoughts&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It describes and offers a practice of re-membering that...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&quot;Everything you see is a result of your thoughts.  Thoughts are not BIG or little, Powerful or weak.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;All thoughts are merely True or False.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;True thoughts &quot;create&quot; their own likeness and extend Truth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;False thoughts &quot;make&quot; their likeness and multiply illusions.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you so much Jackie for your comment to this post, and helping this discussion to be further extended!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We each indeed can multiply nothing, but we will not extend it by doing so.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every thought brings either Peace or War, either Love or Fear.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A neutral result is impossible, because a neutral thought is impossible.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Curious to see what further results this post and its comments will extend!  :-)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What do you Imagine?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wonderful insights Jackie!  Thank you for taking the time to share with us &#8220;your imagination.&#8221;  <img src='http://timothybertowen.com/interviews/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Imagination really is a powerful driver of actions, feelings, joys, doubts, worries, desires, concerns and especially Beliefs!</p>
<p>I personally appreciate the wonderful Peace and confident &#8220;state of mind&#8221; that you mentioned you enjoy.  Often it seems that as a result of spiritual beliefs/decisions we can offer our Imagination into a place of &#8220;higher order&#8221; to make some sense of the chaos in this &#8220;imaginary world&#8221; of ours. </p>
<p>I believe, as challenging as it may be at times, that we do have Absolute Control over our Thoughts/Imagination&#8230;IF we are Aware of the Choice and Take Action with that Choice, especially before we may take too many &#8220;unconscious actions&#8221; which leave us so &#8220;at the Effect&#8221; (of our Choices) that we can become utterly convinced we are no longer the Cause of what we might be experiencing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Awareness&#8221; and &#8220;Mindfulness&#8221; are the words that re-mind me to never surrender my place as the Cause of what I experience.</p>
<p>&#8220;Uncontrolled Imagination&#8221; might be better understood as Mental Discipline and even Mind Training being reflected in the daily practice of monitoring our ego thoughts&#8230;recognizing them as the defenses against the Truth that they can be.</p>
<p>For instance, when I find myself feeling angry, guilty, fearful, anxious and/or depressed etc. I notice that these are all responses to defend against re-membering my True Self&#8230;which knows only the Oneness of Heaven&#39;s Love.</p>
<p>I believe it is only our Mind&#39;s decision that has consigned us to Heaven or to Hell, the realization that we are no longer victims of the world, but only of our own desires and wishes.</p>
<p>What you have shared Jackie reminds me now of the statement, &#8220;If you love something set it free&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>WHAT FREEDOM!!!</p>
<p>No longer at the mercy of things beyond us, forces we cannot control and thoughts that come to us against our will.</p>
<p>The book &#8220;A Course in Miracles&#8221; in its workbook section has a Lesson 16 titled:</p>
<p>&#8220;I Have No Neutral Thoughts&#8221;</p>
<p>It describes and offers a practice of re-membering that&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Everything you see is a result of your thoughts.  Thoughts are not BIG or little, Powerful or weak.</p>
<p>All thoughts are merely True or False.</p>
<p>True thoughts &#8220;create&#8221; their own likeness and extend Truth.</p>
<p>False thoughts &#8220;make&#8221; their likeness and multiply illusions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Thank you so much Jackie for your comment to this post, and helping this discussion to be further extended!</p>
<p>We each indeed can multiply nothing, but we will not extend it by doing so.  </p>
<p>Every thought brings either Peace or War, either Love or Fear.</p>
<p>A neutral result is impossible, because a neutral thought is impossible.</p>
<p>Curious to see what further results this post and its comments will extend!  <img src='http://timothybertowen.com/interviews/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>What do you Imagine?</p>

		<description>Hi Tim,&lt;br&gt;Yes it rather a strange light reflecting off your camera lens!&lt;br&gt;I don&#039;t believe in ghosts, but I do believe that the Lord is in&lt;br&gt;control of such things. &lt;br&gt; I have a wild imagination and I need the stablity of the Lord to keep my mind from thinking crazy things.&lt;br&gt;I am very creative and I will imagine all kinds of things that you&lt;br&gt;probably would never think of. You will be sound a sleep and I will be thinking about the strange &#039;orb&#039; in Tim&#039;s life. &lt;br&gt; I hope that he is going to be okay?  What could it be? I will be up all night thinking!&lt;br&gt;No go, I would rather just put my faith in the Lord and KNOW that&lt;br&gt;He is in control of all things and I don&#039;t have to worry about Tim!&lt;br&gt;I find such things under mine my self confidence, believe it or not!&lt;br&gt;I suppose I could think that it is an angel from the LORD,  to watch over you, that is much more comforting to me!  &lt;br&gt;Another thing I could suggest is that you get one of the&lt;br&gt;Extraordinary Minds on your case !&lt;br&gt;Thanks Tim for all the wild thoughts and good thoughts!&lt;br&gt;Take care and have a good week!&lt;br&gt;See Ya! J&lt;br&gt;Your Friend,&lt;br&gt;Jackie</description>
