Good morning Villagers. I consider myself fairly intelligent, pale in comparison to some of the deep thinkers here. I keep wanting to come up with some profound statement that will set things right with this world.

Dear sweet Benevolent Crow, I think you need a new mirror. Your old one is clearly not working well.

I would be more than happy to lend mine to Crow ... but it is still out for repairs as well ...





... and as far as "deep thinkers" ...

Ulli, thank you again for posting the Gurdjieff movie, Meetings With Remarkable Men. I have never seen it before, and I have been watching it through and reading more about Gurdjieff. I first read about Gurdjieff years ago in a Henry Miller book, I think "The Oranges of Heironymus Bosch." Anyways, I just read that he was born on January 13th, 1877 (Wikipedia gives a ? mark by the year), and was pleasantly surprised to know that he was a fellow Capricorn!

edit: Come to think of it, one of my favorite authors, Henry Miller, was also a Capricorn.

Had a dream last night -don't remember much of it. I was sitting in a talking circle with a group of people (don't remember who they are) and I was holding a double terminated crystal in both of my hands; it was about 9 to 12 inches in length and a medium thickness in the middle. While I was holding it, it turned into light then the room started spinning and I woke up.

I think I have been reading too much of the Lithium and Soul Harvester threads.

You guys that are fasting -my hat is off to you. I'm almost there have set my sights on a 7 day water fast.

Love

Nora

Yes, the question is that are these things reflections of the mind or are they real? what is 'real'..in the context of an independent aware experiencer in a consensus creationist universe? In each I caution to be careful -that awareness trumps fear.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gurdjieff

As for Gurdjieff, (whom I have read a bit on before) after reading the wiki entry...I have no doubt that Ron Hubbard borrowed heavily from his works. I'd say that the very atmosphere of the modern or current form of awakening owes a strong debt to his efforts. A trailblazer to say the least. I also try to fit contexts into a modern sensibility, for if one cannot translate so it is taken in..then...nothing will happen. as well as fitting the context of the communication to the individual. I think that this has been so well absorbed, that overall modern information transfer teaching design/methodology (the effective kind) owes much as well. Granted, much (methodology) that is similar... has been done before - but it's reach into society has been limited. Gurdjieff, one could say, 'put it out there'. Therein lies the difference.

It's been a long day, training the 3 colleagues that will be replacing me during my leave One more work day and

I've started organizing stuff that I will be packing in my luggage. Cozumel, here I come ! The Island of Swallows... makes me dream. This is my first real trip to the south. I will be giving hommage to the local Goddess Ixchel. I did not choose the place, my daughter and son in law did (I am going with them and my grandson). I was happy with the choice. Reading more on the island, I find this to be the best place for me to start my leave and exploration of "what's next".

I'm getting ahead of myself... I'm only leaving next Tuesday.

Calz, thank you for sharing how you're doing. I'm watching. Next moon will be my turn... ohh, ahead again.

Here and Now, I'm going dodo.

Goodnight village

this is my last post

I just received a request from giovonni (he's offline right now) to restore his Project Avalon forum membership. I have done so gladly. Welcome back giovonni!

Uh oh Cal, you now have competition.

I think the animal in that video looks like a big bear carrying a fish.

Wow. Absolutely *wonderful news*!!!





Let us have the grandest of welcome home parties.






@ Snowbird

No competition with the "Master".


Welcome back giovonni ... you were very much missed!!!

Very real, generous and genuine of you Carmody to say. Thank you

My dream was conceptualized. Within the dream my higher source/Spirit was also telling me (we were having a meeting) to go more deeply within & without, above below -I am being stretched more and more -my awareness. (To balance and remember). Yes I still have fear and ego. Right now am going through & releasing events, old fears of this life and a few of my past lives. Have been doing so for about 2 years now -there was a lot.

As for bringing pictures of food into the thread, I think that plate might be similar to one of the favorites of someone here. I know I like it but it did not come to me unbidden. In the same way that purple guessed the next song on the list, this might be similar. I did not consciously desire to bring that in as a wicked act, I didn't even consciously think of that aspect. Perhaps that makes me way more cool in my perceived wickedness (?), if it indeed be such, for it is done under the cloak of innocence. (of a Spockian nature)

Cant be me, I like mine Arrabiata style. Hawt with loads of fresh chillies.


But yes. I could own that.
Anyone else?

Hi villagers! Another dragon here poking my head out of the cave for a minute
It has been exciting times for me as I have come to enjoy shadow work!!
Many dark dusty and hitherto unexplored places are being visited and brought to light.
Less knowledge, more knowing.

As usual I thank all of you villagers for... holding the space that the village is. What a refuge it is! A more humane bunch of humans you would never find. Love to you all.

Here's a pic I made to celebrate the year of the dragon

[ViralSpiral]

So Carmody, whilst you are visiting, can I give you anything? Spaghetti Monster Sandwich? Zaphod Beeblebrox bun? Yoda yoghurt?


Speaking of reflections of the mind, MIB's, Will Smith et al, here is a pic I took of him. Look ma, no hands!

[Carmody]

Shadow work:

Quantic (The Fifth Exotic) (note the cameras and the flow through them) (note the change in the lines, at the 4..the dot, the bend... and the shift into fifth) (the first camera is a windup type-with a third eye)(the new camera is....electric - Uranus, Aquarius - unified, single lens) (subtle, no?)

- Life In The Rain

"Sometimes I wonder... if I know where I'm going.

I go for a walk like this.

And it seems... I have been walking... for years... and years... and years.

And I don't know... where I'm going.

I hear the Sound leading me on...

....And I don't know... where it is taking me."

"Sometimes I feel as if I'm getting closer...

Like Now...

Yes..I am Getting Closer...

..oh yeah...

The Sound is getting Louder..."

Markoid, thats BEAUTIFUL!
Are you feeling better?


The question is always the same with a dragon:
will he talk with you or will he eat you?
If you can count on his doing the former,
and not doing the latter, why then you're a dragonlord.
