Challenge your Comfort Zones and crush your fears.
Till H. Gross‘s TEDx presentation is fascinating. Laying down on the ground in a public place, sounds like a bizarre thing for one to do. Till first tried this at a Train Station, which was filled with people. Continue reading →
Pause for a second when you wake up in the morning, from your slumber. You woke up, while thousands were not so lucky. For you it is a Happy New Day…
Try the following and you will see how those three simple words “Happy New Day” can easily change “the state” of everyone that you meet. Just look them in the eye and say to them “Happy New Day!”
So to all my fellow Time Travelers, may I say to you
” H a p p y N e w D a y !”

I’ve added a new menu item titled: “Feed Your Head”.
This blog is supposed to be about Events in and around Toronto. Sometimes I run across things which go way beyond the scope of this site’s Tag line. Other times I post stuff which has deep meaning to me and hope that it can have the same for others.
All those eclectic posts were scattered around this site. Now they can be found under the “Feed Your Head” section.

Winter is quiet season for me, because I refuse to shoot large indoor venues.
I just got a couple of ideas for the blog tonight, which I would like to share.
Shortly I’ll starting creating Musician profile posts. That would be along the lines of the one I did about “Chuck D. Keeping”.
Chuck is the amazing Drummer with Big Wreck and has also been the Sticks player with Suzie McNeil.
More than a few Musicians have visited our sites. I have a request of any Musicians visiting here. Plse let your Band or Record Company Publicist know about this site and that they should add our email (which is uniquelytoronto@mail.com) to their email distribution list. We are always more than happy to write about upcoming Tours or new Albums.
One email which I received recently was about Randy Bachman. Guess what, he has a new band. I’ll be posting about that soon. Posted by: Vincent Banial
I had setup blogs on other platforms, but have stayed with WordPress.com.
I recall when this blog was first started. Basically I had tried a new theme, more or less each day, over the course of a few weeks. One day I tried the Blaskan theme. Then said nah. Then came back to it. Then said nah again. Then started to work with it and have grown to really appreciate it.
That brings up the question: Will your Human Clone have a Soul?
Another question could be: Can a Human Soul be shared between two individual human bodies?
If your Soul is inside your body, can it also dwell inside your Clone’s body at the same time?
Some believe that animals have no Soul.
The Dogs which I have been fortunate to have shared parts of my life with, I believe definitely had a Soul. In fact, their Souls were probably way better than my Soul.
Our Dogs would never hold “a grudge”. We could shoo them off the couch when we had guests and the dogs would continue to love and care for us, as if nothing had happened.
As for me, I am quite capable of holding “a grudge” and can make people well aware of that fact. Eventually the grudge which I hold will fade, but it takes time – sometimes a very long time….
Our Dogs on the other hand, would always practice instantaneous “Forgiveness and Love“.
I mention family pets, because animals have been cloned. If I am correct and animals do have Souls, then where did the Cloned animals get their Souls from? Was their Soul somehow shared?
If it is true that the Soul enters the body at the time of Human Birth, then did that Cloned Human Embryo already have a Soul?

Your Wife moving in with your Clone, could also work for your kids. They would still have the same Dad, sort of.
Actually your wife might not need to get a divorce, since she would in effect remain married to you, You and your “younger” Clone, are in reality the very same person.
Her Lawyer could argue that your Wife should continue to have full access to your Martial Home and also to all your personal and mutual assets.
At least your Clone and your Wife would be happy.
I wonder how you might feel, if they locked you out of your own home by changing the locks on all the doors???

A couple of decades later, your clone decides that the world that it finds itself in, world be a better place if you were no longer in it. So it decides to commit Suicide, by killing you.
Suicide is not a criminal act.
Huh?
People get charged with committing a crime, so that they can be punished by the legal establishment created by society. If someone commits suicide, they become “dead”. How does society punish a dead body?
So your human clone should be able to commit Suicide, by killing you and not have any legal worries…

In his Homily, Pop Francis spoke about Time and it’s meaning and most of all it’s temporality.
He reminded us “We are all born, and we will all someday die.”.
He asked each of us to “to end the year, and in fact each day, with an examination of conscience. This devout practice leads us to thank God for the blessings and graces we have received, and to ask forgiveness for our weaknesses and sins.”

New Year’s Eve brings back fond memories of years past.
I fondly remember one year, when it started to snow in the later afternoon. Some friends and I planned to go to Nathan Philips Square to bring in the New Year. The temperature was just below freezing and no wind. The light blanket of snow added to the atmosphere.
Of course we all had plenty of alcohol in our bloodstream, you know for its antifreeze effect.
All of us piled onto the Toronto Subway and headed downtown. Everyone was cheerful and happy on the subway. That was quite the contrast from the normal feeling you get when folks get packed like sardines trying to get home from of day of work in the downtown core.
When we got to Bloor and Yonge, a decision was made to get off the subway and walk down Yonge St to Nathan Philips Square (Toronto’s previous City Hall).
That turned out to be the Best move that we could have made.
All the way down Yonge St people were wishing each other “Happy New Year”. Met some old friends on our treck. Also made some new ones. That night became a special memory.
The tradition of bringing in the New Year at Nathan Philips Square continues.
It all starts at 8PM on New Year’s Eve. You will be able to Ice Skate there till around 10PM. Skate rentals are available at the Square.
It will be a fun way to close 2014 and usher in 2015…
Below is a video sampler of the 2012 celebration at Nathan Philips Square:
