Pacific Northwest Ground Crew

empathy · 09-15-2008, 05:52 AM

Empathy here, I guess I have many skills that are useful. I have an understanding of metallurgy and repair work on ships. I know a bit about gardening, and can climb a tree... with a chainsaw. I have a lot of energy and am always willing to help those who are truly in need. Who knows what kind of bizarre circumstances we will be facing here in the northwest, I live in the Puget sound area and when the %#$^ hits the fan you need all the grunts you can get. And I am a genuine Grunt.

Please add me to your friends list only if you are a person who understands what response-ability means. Thanks and good luck this winter. It's not the end of the world ^_^;.... right?

Hello folks! Wormy here. I just got back from the Cascades, upland from Vancouver BC. I have been looking for information pertaining to great floods and particularly how high the flood lines were. I ran into the source, the First Nations were more then forthcoming to me with information regarding where and how high these floods have been. I say "these" because it seems there has been more then one. They have been kind enough to share 30,000 years of flood history with me. I am honored by the chance meeting which took place and the shared knowledge.

The lines of the last great flood have been clearly marked by the First Nations on boulders up near the Blackcomb ski area. These flood lines exist from 5300 to 6500 feet above sea level on the ocean side of the Cascades.

I was advised that living 5000 ft over sea level and higher is desirable, and it is even more desirable to be on the east side of the mountain range and away from rivers and flood plains.

The First Nations also said that during the "Great Flood" beings called the "Transformers" came to earth and transformed people who were doing good works into elemental spirits that are eternally standing guard over the land.
I was shown several places where these transformed beings exist. I was also shown a drawing of one of the "X" Transformer Beings, a very cosmic looking fellow I must say.

Well, I hope that info speaks to some of us. Remember, there are no wrong choices here, only information and what we choose to do with it.

ON ANOTHER NOTE: It has been suggested that PNGC gets together and talks turkey. I am all for it! If anyone would like to donate some space for a face to face gathering, I am taking notes. I will also be contacting a few experts to give talks on subjects that are of concern. If there is a subject that you feel worthy of a speaker, or if you would like to give a talk on your field of expertise then please drop me an email. IF YOU WANT TO VOLUNTEER AS AN ORGANIZER, please... Lets get together and form a committee.

ALSO, if you are just interested in attending let me know. This will help in planning how large or small a venue is needed.

Please send all correspondence to my personal mailbox, just so that we do not bog down the PNGC Thread.

Peace of MInd,

Pithiny · 09-25-2008, 04:09 AM

Wormhole, although I *still* have not replied to your last email, I am definitely interested in getting together and seeing if we can form a core group, exchange ideas and information, etc... I can volunteer to host a meeting if I am near the middle of folks. I am in 98087/Lynnwood, WA. As long as folks don't mind sleeping in my living room, I'm all for it!

09-25-2008, 04:15 AM

An expedient and economic first meeting might be
via a skype conference call.

Just a thought.

BenZadok · 09-25-2008, 01:32 PM

I want to be contacted by anyone in the PNW area regarding meetings. I have been in touch with Wormhole. PNWers have my permission to add me to any e-mailing list.

I know the PNW is a big area. I envision a number of groups who are linked together somehow, perhaps meeting in mass upon occasion with tents in hand.

It seems we have enough contacts here to start. Consider also that it is likely that each of us knows others who embrace on the spirit/intuitive/heart level the values conveyed in Avalon, yet who may not have internet access. I have a friend I can think of right now who would embrace the idea of a safe area wholeheartedly, and is someone I would be pleased to have by my side.

I am in Eugene. For those in the west/central Oregon area who want to meet, get ahold of me. If nothing else, lets meet at a coffee shop just so that we can offer moral support during these times.

Unrelated, I was just exposed to details about the largest known star in the universe called Canis Majoris (sp?). Our sun cannot even be compared to its massive size. I have a new name for my Spirit-source, the "Star-Breather". I am resting (at least in this moment) in the One who is threatened by nothing, who is Peace in essence, who is the Spirit that manefests as the energy-source of each and every string-'particle'. My desire is to use this reality as the context to explore/interpret what is happening behind the world scenes with respect to the current geopolitical and financial situation. I find that unless I abide in the rest that is mine in Spirit/spirit, I will not be able to make interpretations of others that is founded in love.

I like this quote (I do not know the source):

"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we would find in each person's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility."

Heretic · 09-25-2008, 04:33 PM

my reply to this post got moved to the "Oregon" thread for some reason.

isn't Oregon in the pacific northwest?

should we all be using one thread to network?

just a little confused here one where we should be posting.

Norval · 09-25-2008, 05:12 PM

So we work as a PNW Ground Crew, and in our respective (so called) states.

Not a problem, as I am a member of local live aboard boaters here on Puget Sound too.

The problems that we will face, those of us that are water born, are a bit different in some ways from you land lubbers.

That's for sure, I did a wee bit of time in the Gibson's (Sunshine Coast, BC) Marina with the love of my life whom just sold her boat...we decided micro-farming and Permaculture was, for us, the path to be on. I miss dock life though. It was a lovely old 36' sailboat....

Cascadia Ho!

Awakened · 09-26-2008, 03:26 AM

HI
Im new here. I just woke up this month!
My Husband has been awake for about a year. We are looking to meet like minded people around us and make a plan.
I look forward to meeting all of you PNGC! Lets get together!

Heretic · 09-26-2008, 01:37 PM

Hiyo all,

Another ground crew member checking in with you fine people. I currently live in Kent, WA just 20 min outside downtown Seattle. I have with me a wife who is also awake, as well as two children, one 21 and the other 19, here with me who are also somewhat awake and defiantly prepared for possible coming times.

My resume concerning what I could offer a community is a difficult one to describe as those here are already awake and rather knowledgeable, if not experts in the areas I am most proficient in. I have been awake for 30 years so I do have some experience on what it is to be awake in today’s world as well as yesterdays. I can’t really imagine what good that would really do other than to say I am a problem solver when it comes to difficulties considering the path. I have more of a propensity toward the arts more than the sciences so I am an armchair scientist at best.

I have extensive experience with food and have been a chef for about 15 years dealing with every end of the food business but for pastries, as I only have had a cursory examination of it as my passion has always been gourmet and fine dinning. I also have experience in the mass production of regular food and have run several kitchens. I do a little catering here and there but only as favors for friends etc.

I am also very experienced with computers and am one of the original geeks as my computer obsessions began in 1980. I have worked on cars quite a bit and I am mechanically inclined. I have worked with wood but would not call myself a carpenter although I am sure I could build a house, but it would probably lean and water would no doubt come out of the chandelier when I turned the faucet on.

I am a jack of all trades but king of none. I could teach kung fu although I am not certified to do so, but have been teaching it most of my life regardless with nothing but success. I have a strong aptitude towards the spiritual side of kung fu so my experience is a holistic one and is not limited to simple violence. My versatility is probably my best asset so I could help out where ever and I learn fast. I also have a strong intuitive quality that I use in my life more so than usual, yet I would not consider myself a trained physic in that what I can do everyone can do. My wife is in the aviation industry and has a deep understanding of it, as well as being a healer and is looking closely at turning towards veterinary academics.

I have been looking at survival information for a while and have basically garnered enough information that I think I could survive on my own, until I made a fatal mistake because of my lack of knowledge, because there is so much more I don’t know and you cant really tell if your going to be successful at something like that until you do it IMHO. I have looked at house making with mud adobe etc, but I lack knowledge of the geology of the PNW area because I grew up in Texas. I have been so obsessed in learning the information which has brought me to Avalon that I have neglected other important information that would now come in handy.

That’s my main story and I am glad to be here. I have email, AIM, or any other communication venue needed to make things easier as these communities become more solid as we start to pull together if and when needed. I am also willing to just get to know people however they feel comfortable doing it.

Peace

Heretic · 09-26-2008, 01:38 PM

Oh yeah...I almost forgot...

I am very long winded and write long posts most of the time...

forgive please

Wormhole · 09-26-2008, 09:16 PM

Hello Friends!
Just a quick note to let you know that the time and place of the first meeting of the Pacific Northwest Ground Crew is nearly set. I will be happily announcing the details in a few days. As this thing gets organized, I just wanted to thank all of the people who are coming together with their talents and resources to help make this happen! There has been a wonderful response and a lot of stepping up to the plate! Lots of Love to all of you!
Peace of Mind,
Wormhole

noelnewell · 09-25-2008, 11:04 PM

I am interested. I live in the "shadow of Mt Baker" in Maple Falls (Kendall area really) very close to the border. I may not physically make it to Lynnwood (thank you Pithiny for an exceptional offer) but if I could be kept informed, I'll do what I can. We live on 10 acres here (my husband and I). I thought about moving, and maybe we will, but right now, when I ask for a sign I get a chorus of frogs singing (frogs are a dying species) and we have honey and bumble bees buzzing ( I promised I would never look for their honey and they could just be bees) and right now I just feel this is the place for me.

I digress. I would like to be kept informed. Thanks

09-25-2008, 11:38 PM

Hey I live in Coeur D Alene Idaho just North of Spokane Washington. I am looking for anyone that may be in my area. I am currently in China on business but will return in November. I would be interested in meeting with anyone of like minds to meet over some coffee or a cold beer. Not sure how to initiate contact.

mukk

Pithiny · 09-28-2008, 09:56 PM
