Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Alekahn]

I was just thinking...about thinking, feeling and willing in the here and now.
The relationships between these faculties so complex and dynamic.
What is going on in this brain and heart of ours? The re-alignment perhaps?
Some amazing drawings for the Village.




I think Nora received a Valentine in hieroglyphics!

"The Borrowers"

Funny, I am feeling a correspondence with The Borrowers, "The novel and its sequels are about tiny people who live in people's homes and "borrow" things to survive while keeping their existence unknown."

Last night in energy work while I was unable to sleep most of the night, I experienced unusual verbal communication with entities who were most happy to take away all of my chronic pains explaining they burned pain for fuel, as we do oil.

Seemed like a win-win situation

Question:

Does anyone else see a profile facing right in the stonework of my cottage?
Others have commented on occasion, so I do not think it is just me.



Does anyone else see a profile facing left in this crystal?
Or, am I experiencing an odd fixation?



(Thanks again PL.)

Cottage Rose: I don't know about others, but I can't see any pics in your post, which I assume is what we are meant to be seeing.... ?

Thanks for letting me know. Hmmmm. I wonder why? I am seeing them. I will look into it. I uploaded the pics to my profile area and posted the urls as images. Does anyone know what I did wrong? Are they working below?

(By the way, that trim is not actually purple and blue, lol.
More hunter green and a warm reddish color in reality.)

I am starting to feel really silly for asking this question now.

The Vision Alignment Project

A Vision for Going Back to the Basics

We see a world where people have gone back to the basics; where, from our earliest childhood, we are taught how to grow a garden, build a simple house, fix a vehicle, forage for indigenous foods and medicines, keep basic health and hygiene standards, put things back where we got them, plant a fruit tree, build a fire, swim, sew, communicate, cook a meal, work a computer, think positively, read, write, do basic math, be responsible for ourselves, and more.

We envision a world where people know their neighbors, make themselves more available, and enjoy gathering in local communities - for, indeed, all of the massive, cumbersome, centralized political and financial institutions have gone away because people no longer wanted to be governed by someone they didn't know, by someone who had self-serving motives, or by someone who didn't really care about them.

As a result, people have set up local currencies, local co-ops, and they resolve all their differences at the local level with the help of elders who are respected and chosen for their wisdom and compassion.

Likewise, we see people more tuned in and responsible for their own health than in the past when they used to rely on others to tell them what was going on with their body. In fact, we see people everywhere having taken a stand on behalf of their own well-being. No longer are we dumbed down or undiscerning. Now we are all more awake and aware, and we have chosen, courageously, to withhold our agreement, our allegiance, our obedience, and our support from anyone who would act uncaringly or unlovingly toward us or our fellow travelers. Instead, now that we have all the skills we learned in childhood at our beck and call, we have gone back to basics, focused our attention back at the community level, and begun to take full responsibility for all that goes on in our lives.

I can see the crystal pic now.. and yes I can see the face you are speaking of quite easily... cool . I had a look at the the other one of the wall in your profile and had to stretch my imagination a bit to see the profile (of a head) there.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Markoid. I guess the profile on the house shows best in a particular light.....

[kizzey]

Good morning

Deep sleep, but short night: Dreamt of scarabs
Snow storm outside.
Gratitude for being able to work from home!

@ Heather LOVE that Tori song. Thank you

@ CottageRose, I can definitely see the profile in the stone wall, but not the crystal (yet)

@ Nora. Amazing pics. What are your thoughts?

Kizzey, welcome
This is not a place for judgement. You will not be damned
If you are looking for further exposure to the book, may I suggest you start a new thread?

[ViralSpiral]

Posted by NeverMind (here)
I wonder, could this thread be renamed "The Village" and another thread (also a sticky) be opened called "Here and Now"?
Both concepts deserve a thread of their own, in my opinion.
(Yes, I am an incorrigible editor by heart. :-))


Right now...

On my left I can see the golden sheets of late winter afternoon sunshine on buildings, their roofs covered with snow.
The deep freeze is finally giving way.

I have just listened to the Prelude of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde. Now I am getting ready to listen to the rest of it.
It just feels right, right now.
And I am getting ready to write.

I just have to make myself another tall glass of tomato with cayenne pepper and lemon, and I'll be set.
I have the feeling it is going to be an interesting evening.
I only hope it will also be happy.

I propose that the new thread be called The Village, so the essence of the original thought remains here, and now
Surely Tristan and Isolde set the scene for razor blades and mirrors?

[meeradas]

...let's see if i can post this here...
If i'd be paranoid and/or narcissistic,
i'd say i have an personal attendant now,
switching off and on my internet connection
at will, whenever i try to go online or it likes to.
Doesn't make sense at all, but what does these days?

Time to call the provider. This can't go on.

Bluecher?
I think it is in your avatar



Musings.....

Wonder how Carmody is, 4 planets frolicking in some quarters et al, and a HUGE geometric storm...





Interpretations for the scarab: Resurrection

The Scarab is a symbol of the sun and an emblem of Egyptian god Khepera, the god of the Sun and immortality. Their image was placed with the mummified remains of the dead as a source of new life in the next world.
In the Middle Ages, alchemists drew the scarab in diagrams of the double spiral, which leads to the center of the universe.
The Scarab brings new life and vitality. It can teach you how to pace yourself through the seasonal changes of the year.
Also, gives insight into past lives and spiritual enlightenment.

The beauty of life is that all one does is experiential living. Each person's definition of how to experience this life is custom-made for his/her own growth.

Therefore, all choice is experiential, is successful. In the end there is no such thing as failure. It's only choice.

Peace,
