Mark

[Darla Ken Pearce]

Hi, Fred S ~ Just a thought but one of the greatest blessings it would seem to me would be to get Mark hooked back up to the NET provided he has that desire. Just think of all the friends he's made already here to replace any old friends who've fallen by the wayside during his illness. His mind is so bright ~ he's a gift to whoever comes to know him.

Since he has a computer and is not limited in that way, it may be a matter of costs for service provider and in the old days this would be legitimate concern. However, this retirement home or care facility were you are visiting him ~ probably has service for any who are able to tap into it. Also not everyone is aware that anyone parked next to a Jack-in-the Box or many other hotels, motels, and so forth are available bandwidth anyone can tap into ~ if they don't required passwords and codes. Even if they do, it is not that difficult to ask for permission in some way. Maybe you could see if this is a problem, we could help work something out for him.

You might be able to "hook him up" yourself, we could walk you through it here and yes, I am volunteering if you'd like assistance ; )

He may have some sadness about computer use ~ if his old associates and family no longer are available but this is no real limitation. If he wants friends, tons are lining up already to meet and greet him. This could mean a whole new world ~ not available just yesterday ~ to him that you've opened up for him NOW! So cool, yes?!!

Just a thought. Limitations only exist if we allow them to hinder us. There are ways to get around these limitations now in most instances. Using Avalon to open these doors for Mark might offer more healing than even we can imagine now. This is the beauty of life and being open! Much love! xoxoxox

Hi Darla, thank you for the kind offer! I have to laugh though, to walk me through something like that is like trying to walk a dog through the multiplication tables. He mentioned needing a computer geek, but then it seemed he may already have that geek in a brother who lives not too far away. After asking three times about being online and him changing the subject, I decided I was pushing where I didn't belong, atleast for now. He did say he's ready for wireless, but that the facility him and my gramma are in blocks the signal somehow. Confusing.

I actually don't know Mark that well, having only really 'talked" to him once now, so I'm feeling for now atleast, it's more appropriate just to get to know him as a person and a friend. There may be personal issues I don't know of, so I'm just going to leave it be for the time being.

Thanks for caring Darla, and if the opportunity arises I'll let ya'll coach me through the multiplicaton tables.


Cheers,
Fred

Frank S. thanks for sharing your inside about Mark's story with us. You can be sure the Avalonians across the board are sending him love and healing energies, as well as compassion and understanding.

I am reading this thread and between thoughts and feelings about Mark and About our Fred,I am feeling most greatfull and humbled to be in the (virtual) company of all of you!

It feel like the hearts of everyone that responded here are beating on the same rhythm and making great music.connectedness and compassion will melt even the toughest barrier of our world. it is the material of the new creation.

I have not heard about Adriana,but here is what sounds like a similiar story (and pretty much remarkable!) of Carly - a severly Autistic girl who managed to find her inner voice through the computure. one can not be indifferent when watching carly, making this hugh breakthrough!

Its stories like this that makes me wonder: What does it make for a soul to be locked in a body without really being able to be seen,or heard...or to express itself...

from a spiritual level perspective,it might be that souls that take those kind of situation upon themselvs for life or for the end of their lives like Mark did,are actually taking upon themselvs the role of helping people around them learn more about love,compassion,mutual understanding,patience and respect.

If this 'theory' is true,than they are very much an advanced souls!

Look how Mark's story of competing with the ALS disease via Fred effected us
~ I send good blessings to Mark ~

An advanced soul

Absolutely. Will do my best.

But he is also blessed: not only with his spirit, but with your presence in his life.

This thread is awesome. I think we've had our lesson. At first we all saw Mark's condition and experience from the outside and we saw it as awful and all wanted to help. With more information, Fred discovers that the universe is already taking care of Mark and giving him what he needs. More than that, Mark is living up to his Hero/Warrior name and not letting it get him down.

The lesson this has taught me is that we shouldn't be so quick to see the negativity in situations before we've learnt the full story and assume the saviour mentality. Not everyone we think is broken needs to be fixed.

My thanks to Fred and Mark.

I have a feeling he could end up teaching us a whole lot more as Fred gets to know him better.

Very astute observation Anno, and it is a most welcome teaching! Thank you for that perspective!

We know that Mark believes in miracles. What more do we need?

I'm sending a miracle to Mark in the form of a local healer, whose identity I do not know, who will begin to work with Mark (with his permission) to heal him to whatever extent his soul purpose will allow.

I am sending warm cuddly hugs to Mark and am sending joy and a blissful-ness for as long as he accepts this.

I pray for the use of his hands and arms that he may have ability to use the computer and reach out and be-with.

I send him LOVE!!

Oh, what a wonderful person you are!!!! Truly beautiful, Mark definitely orchestrated his chart brilliantly to have you take the time speak with him. This is a lovely thing you have done.

What an experience Mark is having in this incarnation, he will be learning a great deal from these limitations - can you imagine...!

I am about to do a meditation, I will be thinking of Mark and I'll send him loads of healing energy and unconditional love.

Thank you Fred. Your attention has brought to our brother the creative and healing force of creation. I appreciate the opportunity to look through the eyes of a kind heart and see Mark whole and well. Have no doubt or belief to the contrary and it is so. Best Wishes.

Hi all, this should probably be the last post on the subjject of Mark, per say. It seems more appropriate for Anchor's healing thread to take this sort of thing to a new level. Thank you for that John!!! If I have any future things to report on Mark, it will likely be in that thread if things can get up and running.

So in that interum let me just say I saw Mark briefly tonight, and there WAS a difference. Partly from the "feeling" I got from putting my hand on his shoulder, ( that's the handshake) his spirit seemed somewhat uplifted. Also, I could swear he could move and do his crude articulation attempts just a bit better than before. Mind you that I wasn't looking for this, my main reason for being there is to ensure gramma is o.k., but with my mind in a completely different place and busy with the usual daily distractions, this was duly noted. I thought ya'll might like to hear that.

Look at the possibilities before us Avalon!!! Dare to look at what me, you, all of us can do together!!! Don't just dream big things, dare to dream the "impossible", and know it will come to pass.

Cheers,
Fred

Fred, Please share this with Mark:

Holding you as closely in peace and love as I can Mark. I will not cry for that would not make you happy, I will not feign joy for that would be untrue to my spirit. I send you love, peace, joy, patience, and above all serenity in spirit. May you gain what you need in each moment.

Love,

Serenity

Things have been so wide open crazy round here recently that I haven't had much of an opportunity to speak clearly with Mark, atleast though his translation computer in his room. I keep promising I'll come and spend some time, but multiple other events have just not allowed it thus far.

What I CAN report is that last week, there was an incident with a gentlemen in there who is in a wheelchair, has full use of his arms, and occassionally will attack another resident when he is p.o'd, whether it is an old lady or what. Apparently this past week this guy Dennis did this to helpless Mark. He grabbed his arm and tried to jerk him out of his chair. This wonderful woman who looks after Mark named Marlene talked to management, and management, in all their infinite wisdom, suggested Mark should be someplace else. She is going to file a complaint, and I made sure to tell her what I've seen with this violent guy in the past, and to please bring me in for any testimony needed.

I'm slow to anger, but if Bob the glitzy sports car owner tries to kick Mark out, it's going to be 'game on'. There are certain times in life when one must stand, and this may be coming. The recent progress Mark has made will not be snuffed out...

Cheers,
Fred

Tell them they have failed in their duty of care obligation and are negligent in letting this guy attack people.
They are liable criminally and civilly and that you have proof.
That will get their attention.
You won't have to even say ''law suit'', they will hear that in those words.
If you need more info/help, let me know.
