Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Nora]

A beautiful quiet and cool vibrant Spring morning in forest.
Listening to the Red Tails call out across the valley.

White Tail and his sister are together again. They are 2 very
happy dogs. They wore each other out playing. His visit to the vet yesturday went very well and
she said that he can go into water now. He and his sister are going to get baths today.
The vet was surprised at how well he healed and how fast.
Thank you villagers.

Love

Nora

As a Capricorn, which is considered the most ambitious sign, I know all about "efforting".
It is our main compulsion.
The full spectrum of right living contains a bit of all, as life itself is rhythmic.
Problems arise if one gets stuck in one particular mode.

Different life situations require different approaches.
Hence there is wisdom in pausing. A meditation session is a pause.

At the opposite end of the spectrum there is obsessive struggle. Even though this sounds unhealthy,
yet there are times in life where it is appropriate, like when your are trying to reach a drowning child.

Conscious living to me means understang three forces which must alternate,
These forces are "affirming, denying, reconciling". Most people live in duality...affirming one moment, denying the next.
The attempts to reconcile duality lead to true oneness.
Understanding this principle one can lead a healthy life.

Wow, thanks Ulli. As a Capricorn, too, it is most helpful reading that. I know very little regarding the zodiac, planetary influences etc, and your statement makes sense to me though I never thought about it in that aspect. I find myself often expending energy that is not necessary, and rest is something I do not often do. AS Warren Zevon sang, "I'll sleep when I'm dead..."

Nora, dogs are such special creatures. I am happy that White Tail is healed. I always thought from aeons of contact with humans, dogs can exist in a higher sub-density in the orange ray and much more conscious than some other creatures. Cats, on the other hand, are special cases. I have no clue what's going on in a cat's brain! Truly incredible creatures. Any thoughts, PL?

I haven't posted on this thread yet but I see you all are having a great time here.

As of the past few weeks, I am falling into another depression and am starting to feel quite hopeless. I started a new job in March that I am coming to loathe and I feel trapped by it. My son has taken off to bicycle the country and I have no significant other to come home to. It's spring and I should be feeling great with the increasing amount of sunshine and all of the exercise I get.

I cannot shake this feeling of being a prisoner although my rational mind tells me that's hogwash. The emotions are stronger than the thoughts.

I know this stems from a very early trauma in my life that I have had counseling for and have accepted but when my life circumstances change it rears its ugly head.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make this black go away?

We think our hands were evolved for using tools, but really they were designed to be the perfect grooming tools for felines, the real master race.

First of all, welcome!

This all sounds too familiar to me [there's even use of the same terms].
Every job [for the man] is doing this to me.
Every spring it's the same.
No idea how to make it go away otherwise - but to face it, and finally embrace it.
In my case, there's a lot of self-judgment, and self-pity involved [and i still "hate to admit it"...].

Patience, resilience, love [yourself] - no matter what.

If we are to believe James Gilliland (and I do ...) you are actually quite close on that one ... meow.

These emotions are coming out of all of us at this time, you said it yourself, a past trauma
that has energy that needs addressing.

For instance today was not a great day for me, but I will not lend it more energy then I wouod be doomed,
rather I acknowledge ot and then continue as best I can knowing things will wrinkle out.

Its amazing how magnified things are when we focus on them, for instance, how often are you aware say for
instance of your feet while at work, as soon as you focus your attention there you feel them again, this is
the same for physical and emotional pain.

My advice to you is acknowledge there is negative emotion still there, ask the creator to help transmute it,
learn to to love yourself again and shift your focus on that sunshine, on the fact that your boy is on a great
adventure amd that you are never ever alone x

Blessings

Thank you, meeradas. It's good to know others struggle with it too. It's soul-crusing to work for Big Medicine. At least it is for me. So many others that I work with seem to be just fine with it all.

I try very hard to love myself, in spite of the feelings.

Thanks Mark, yes, I am acknowledging that the negativity is still here from that very early trauma. It's so deep that it cannot be ignored. I am grateful that my son is so amazing and isn't' touched by the black like I am. I hope to Source that he never is!

I am asking the Creator for a miracle, every day.

...sometimes even big cats. I so agree.

Well, this is something new :/ Spontaneous chakra whirling, the speed and power of which I cannot bring for myself when I try...red, orange, yellow, and made it up to green and blue...or root all the way to throat. Quite strong physical sensations, I must say. No ignoring them. Ulli, I am now thinking yesterday's sickness put me in bed for a reason. Still quite tired, no nap as Em has proclaimed it movie day. So far, watched Dragon Crusaders. A movie I would have never chosen, and have to admit I liked it overall. Such symbolism it contains. At least she conceded to allowing my pillow and blanket on the couch. I can tell you that no matter what happens today, I will not be involved. It's taxing to get the words out my fingers and through the keyboard.

Much Love,

p.s. @ nearing: I watched the vid shared earlier, signs of Spiritual Awakening, and one of them is past trauma rearing its ugly head. This happens to me frequently! I do not know what will work for you, but I am forced to allow it to be. I cry, I love the person I was when one thing or another happened, and it subsides. For me, trying to push it away makes it worse and it never gets smaller. Love and peace...

Hummingbird
“Animal Spirit Guides,” by Steven D. Farmer, Ph.D.

- You’re going through some very heart-opening kinds of experiences, and you’ll quite naturally draw more and more love into your life.
- You’re full of joy, generally have a positive outlook, and affect others in the way.
- It’s crucial for your health and sanity to find work that allows you to be outdoors as much as possible.
- You’re extremely sensitive, drawn to those who are light and positive, while shying away from anyone with harsh or negative energies.

A most surreal experience just now...sitting in my spot on the porch outside. A hummingbird came to eat. After, it paused and looked at me, and then perched upon the shepherd's hook on which I hung the feeder. It stayed there for two minutes, I kid you not. I counted seconds until I hit 60, then stopped. I was sending out thoughts...she is with egg, lol. Going to be a mama soon.

Much love to the flying creatures today...as well as all of us who do not realize we fly just yet...

[Paula]

Seek to find all the Love and Gratitude that shows Itself. You'll be so busy with enJOYing that blackness will have to wait until another day.

Or sit right there with blackness. Don't filter, don't label anything that comes to the fore. Just receive, perceive, feel and bless... And see the Light come next...

(Clearing the gunk makes for a Lighter You. I'd combine both methods.)

Peace and Heart to You, Nearing

Just been looking at a SRI Yantra.

I remember the first time I came across this is after I read a book by Drunvalo, I think it was called something like the "Sedona Vortex"?

Anyway, it had a picture of the Oregon Sri yantra and then a page with one for open eye meditation. Well being a young lad I thought I would try this....

After some time had passed due to the fact that my eyes were stinging, (very hard at first to perform open eye meditation when your programmed to blink), but after a short while I was in a non blinking trance then all of a sudden, "RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG GGGGGGGGG", it was as if an extremely loud alarm bell was ringing all around me.
Out of sheer panic I stumbled out of my bedroom and headed outside to an out building to where my brother was for help, and all I could see was this Sri Yantra emblazoned on my retina everywhere!

Well, eventually the ringing had subsided and the visuals were receding until normality had returned, my brother did not really know what to make of this, poor guy.

Of course now I know exactly what it was, and what a wasted opportunity I had missed indeed, still interesting to know that OOBE's can be achieved with your eyes open albeit somewhat red and puffy!

Sri Yantra, very interesting indeed and I would recommend it. The thing I noticed about it is as you stare you become aware that some lines are bolder then this changes to other lines and this simply continues never seeming to repeat and it seems there are almost endless combinations. I read somewhere in the past that this design was to bring both hemispheres together as the brain attempted to process what it was seeing, and the impression I had is that it is some kind of key in which by staring at it the brain unlocks something by running through these combinations?

The Legend of the White Lion


According to legend the white lions appeared over 400 years ago during the reign of Queen Numbi in the region known as Timbavati. A shining star was seen to fall to the ground. The fallen star remained there for some days and then rose back into the sky. Since then white leopards, impala and lions where born in the region. The arrival of the white lions marked the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy that identified these majestic creatures as messengers from the gods. The white lions are called “The Sons of the Sun God” and are revered as the most sacred animal and represent balance and order. Some say when white lions are born the earth is about to undergo massive changes. Timbavati has been a sacred site for centuries and the name of the place in ancient Shangaan language means “the place where the star lions come down from the heavens”.

Short Synopsis

According to the legend of the Shangaan, white lions are the messengers of the gods, but it has been years since one has been seen in their remote African valley. When a white lion is miraculously born into that valley, a young Shangaan named Gisani, finds himself destined to protect this rare and magnificent creature at all costs. This young lion, whom will be known as Letsatsi, is cast from his pride and forced to embark upon a perilous journey of survival.
Close to starvation, Letsatsi befriends Nkulu, an older lion and together they learn how to survive in the harsh African wilderness Gisani, who is watching over Letsatsi, takes a job as a tracker with a local hunter, who has his sights set on leading the hunt for this rare and magnificent white lion. Gisani, guided by fate, believes that he must find a way to prevent this tragedy from happening. When Nkulu is killed by a farmer, Letsatsi is forced once again to survive on his own. After many trials and tribulations he finally learns to hunt by himself and grows into a magnificent adult.
But before he can take over a pride of his own, Letsatsi and Gisani must face their greatest challenge - the trophy hunter- for whom legends are worthless and rare skins priceless.
WHITE LION…home is a journey.

Hello WHOMADEGOD,

See if this has a ring to it:

If I recall, you've had some profound experiences of late during your lunch break. Kundalini energies lifting your right off your chair a couple of days in a row? I'd say you are on track. The heart chakra, along with all of the rest, are getting an upgrade or at the very least, a tune up.

If this is the case, then I'd say, Be kind, rewind. Adjustments are happening.

Hearts,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer
