Surely this is a no-brainer: you are the House Creep and you are creating House Creep and you are the reason your house feels creepy! What a concept!
Bet you are wondering what this has to do with karma. Karma is all about balance. When you are the Creep and you feel creepy because of the house creep around you, physically, emotionally and spiritually, you are radically out of balance. Being out of balance puts you in a place of not being at ease, or being “not ease”, or the correct grammar is: in dis-ease. This is where illness begins. This is where you feel that tiny pieces of you are unraveling. It starts slowly at first, but then it builds. More and more negative things also happen both at work and at home and the feeling of being powerless begins to ‘creep’ into your consciousness. Finances also increasingly become problematic.
Things aren’t going well anywhere. You are late to work, late coming home, behind in your bills, not the friend you want to be and chronically tired. It is very difficult to have a restful sleep in chaos.
You feel as if you are behind the power curve and nothing in your life is working, all from a bit of creep.
Take charge by deciding that while you may not be able to change many things about your life, you can definitely change yourself so decide to be different! Take a day off from work and start to take your life back.
• Begin your life change in your kitchen, by cleaning it from top to bottom. Vow: clean up your kitchen every single night before you go to bed. A few dishes are manageable. You will now come down to an immaculate kitchen and start your day out right. The night before, pack a lunch and identify your breakfast for the next day – if you have a spouse and kids, this will pay huge dividends. Delegate to them: one person does dishes, one person dries and puts away and one person packs lunches.
• Next, clean your den/living room. Identify a place for new magazines and catalogs. Recycle the old ones. If you look at a new catalog and you know you will never use it, recycle it immediately.
• Analyze your home office area. Collect all of your mail from your car. Bring it into your office and vow that you will never open mail in the car again. From now on, you will bring the mail in and put it in your ‘to do’ basket. Schedule desk time/bills times. Do them once a month. This will save overdue fees and frustration throughout the month and ultimately give you more free time and a much cleaner car! A cleaner car, inside and out requires fewer repairs.
• Your bedroom needs to be your sanctuary. Find a place for some outside-your-closet hooks. One is for nightclothes, one is for clothes you just took off and one is for lounge clothes. Nothing will ever just go on the floor again. Your dog will have to use his own bed. Have a laundry hamper and put dirty clothes there. This system will save time in the morning so that you always know where things are. When you go to change clothes at the end of the day it takes the same amount of energy to put things away as it does to put them on the floor. The time you will have saved in the morning will be well worth it. Upon awakening in the morning, take a few seconds to disappoint your cat: make your bed! Imagine coming into a real sanctuary that is neat and ready to welcome you!
• Once a week or so, go around your house and just pick up and put away things that are out of place.
• Once a quarter, do your garage. Keep it neat. Tools will then always be available when you need them. Check out your car as well, keeping it cleaned out. Wash your car once a week if you can, at least once a month if you can’t. Every now and then, take your car in for just a checkup to preclude major repairs.
• Check your yard now and then for things to be put away, the condition of plants and the condition of your home as well. If repairs need to be made, schedule them.
• Take some time to de-clutter your office at work, as well. Often the first impression anyone gets from you is your desk and if it is a disaster, really, is that the message you want to send about the kind of professional you are?
The payback from this is that you will feel completely in charge of your life. Cleanliness is next to Godliness because it gets rid of negativity. De-cluttering your life will make room for new things to come to you. You have to make a path for light to find you and if it is horribly cluttered, filled with the daily soot of house creep, you will be invisible to the good things that can come. Become beautifully visible to all that life has to offer and you will begin to always feel at ease and blessedly karmically balanced!

Comment on Spray On Liquid Glass
Dear Friends,
My friend Lee, a very brillent man, added this comment about spray on liquid glass that I felt was so well done I had to share it. Thanks Lee!
Tina,
Right now, I do NOT know of any nano technology that is not considered to be toxic to humans if ingested. The peer reviewed and published research is just not there. These particles are just so damn small there is a school of thought that they could migrate to areas of the body that really do not recognize them as foreign bodies, and the body will not erect any defenses to get rid of them. This is never good....
There is some significant discussion going around about the silver nano-technology that Samsung uses in its clothes washing machine as an example. It appears that there is a small, minute but measurable release of these silver nano particles into the waste water. The technology is used as a disinfectant and it kills germs. (I do not know if this technology is in America)
If silver nano-technology is widely adopted in washing machines and dishwashers, there are a few problems as I understand:
1. The germs that are not killed become battle hardened.
2. The germs that are not killed have a small, but I believe measurable increase in probability of mutating
3. The excess silver nano particles are flushed back into the waste stream and so far, they are way too small to be filtered out, so eventually, they will return to our drinking supplies.
4. These particles are so small that their effect on the human body if (and when) consumed, has not been widely studied, and is definitely not understood.
(By the way, this phobia of trying to clean and kill germs may be doing our kids much more harm than good. By killing 99.9%, the other 0.1% is more resistant to being killed, controlled etc and our kids, not being exposed to many germs, can become really sick when they come into contact with these battle-hardened germs. When we were kids, we did not have all this disinfectant stuff, so our immune system had a chance to develop into a strong system. My guess is that we are seeing increases in diseases today that were very rare when we were kids because while we have killed the 99% of the germs, we have left our kids exposed to the really battle hardened stuff, and their immature immune systems are just overwhelmed.)
Glass is made up mostly of the element silicon. In certain forms, it is considered HIGHLY toxic. For example, the people that handle the purest of silcon that goes into making computer chips either wear moon suits, or work in special rooms where the airborne concentration of silicon is kept so low it is barely measurable. Silicon can lead to a bad type of lung cancer I believe. I just watched a film on the manufacture of ram used in computers. The people in the room where the sand was being delivered wore masks and gloves and suits all designed it seemed to me to not let one grain of this sand into their body.
So, right now, it appears that nano particles attached to stuff we touch are safe for adults. Jury is out on kids, toddlers, and babies.
It might end up not being a toxic issue. Just a hell of lot of research needs to be done.
Lee
PS: Our world has never been and will never be germ free. We are trying too hard to make it germ free, thinking we are making it safer for ourselves, and our kids. I think we will determine, probably too late, that we were wrong. Maybe even deadly wrong. Lee

Spray-on Liquid Glass
Sometimes it is fascinating to see how nanotechnology is going to change the future we thought we were going to understand. The following example is just fascinating. My friend Lee shared this. Thanks!

Spray-on liquid glass is about to revolutionize almost everything
February 2nd, 2010 in Nanotechnology / Nanomaterials
Spray-on liquid glass
(PhysOrg.com) -- Spray-on liquid glass is transparent, non-toxic, and can protect virtually any surface against almost any damage from hazards such as water, UV radiation, dirt, heat, and bacterial infections. The coating is also flexible and breathable, which makes it suitable for use on an enormous array of products.
The liquid glass spray (technically termed “SiO2 ultra-thin layering”) consists of almost pure silicon dioxide (silica, the normal compound in glass) extracted from quartz sand. Water or ethanol is added, depending on the type of surface to be coated. There are no additives, and the nano-scale glass coating bonds to the surface because of the quantum forces involved. According to the manufacturers, liquid glass has a long-lasting antibacterial effect because microbes landing on the surface cannot divide or replicate easily.
Liquid glass was invented in Turkey and the patent is held by Nanopool, a family-owned German company. Research on the product was carried out at the Saarbrücken Institute for New Materials. Nanopool is already in negotiations in the UK with a number of companies and with the National Health Service, with a view to its widespread adoption.
The liquid glass spray produces a water-resistant coating only around 100 nanometers (15-30 molecules) thick. On this nanoscale the glass is highly flexible and breathable. The coating is environmentally harmless and non-toxic, and easy to clean using only water or a simple wipe with a damp cloth. It repels bacteria, water and dirt, and resists heat, UV light and even acids. UK project manager with Nanopool, Neil McClelland, said soon almost every product you purchase will be coated with liquid glass.
Food processing companies in Germany have already carried out trials of the spray, and found sterile surfaces that usually needed to be cleaned with strong bleach to keep them sterile needed only a hot water rinse if they were coated with liquid glass. The levels of sterility were higher for the glass-coated surfaces, and the surfaces remained sterile for months.
Other organizations, such as a train company and a hotel chain in the UK, and a hamburger chain in Germany, are also testing liquid glass for a wide range of uses. A year-long trial of the spray in a Lancashire hospital also produced “very promising” results for a range of applications including coatings for equipment, medical implants, catheters, sutures and bandages. The war graves association in the UK is investigating using the spray to treat stone monuments and grave stones, since trials have shown the coating protects against weathering and graffiti. Trials in Turkey are testing the product on monuments such as the Ataturk Mausoleum in Ankara.
The liquid glass coating is breathable, which means it can be used on plants and seeds. Trials in vineyards have found spraying vines increases their resistance to fungal diseases, while other tests have shown sprayed seeds germinate and grow faster than untreated seeds, and coated wood is not attacked by termites. Other vineyard applications include coating corks with liquid glass to prevent “corking” and contamination of wine. The spray cannot be seen by the naked eye, which means it could also be used to treat clothing and other materials to make them stain-resistant. McClelland said you can “pour a bottle of wine over an expensive silk shirt and it will come right off”.
In the home, spray-on glass would eliminate the need for scrubbing and make most cleaning products obsolete. Since it is available in both water-based and alcohol-based solutions, it can be used in the oven, in bathrooms, tiles, sinks, and almost every other surface in the home, and one spray is said to last a year.
Liquid glass spray is perhaps the most important nanotechnology product to emerge to date. It will be available in DIY stores in Britain soon, with prices starting at around £5 ($8 US). Other outlets, such as many supermarkets, may be unwilling to stock the products because they make enormous profits from cleaning products that need to be replaced regularly, and liquid glass would make virtually all of them obsolete.
