Here and Now...What's Happening?

Sometimes I want to use very bad language. But I don't like the taste of soap.

Ulli, your guest room is a lovely retreat. Cheery, warm, and inviting.

With your images and mindset you would have been a perfect fit for this thread (unfortunately closed and the member responsible driven off the forum):


https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...light=universe


Take a stroll through it if you have the time or the inclination (many images now missing ...) ... one of my favorite threads ever.

[Calz]

Been too long since we have had a music break.

How 'bout stepping back from spaceships, portals, folding time/space and timelines etc back into the daze of the wooden ships.





Ahhh ... isn't that better???

Perfect Lullabye, love that song, leaving for the Eastcoast and family tomorrow..Going home for Christmas...my dad often reminds me of when i was just a kid of 3 years old and we stayed in the house of my grandmothers sister in Marseille. There was a pond in the backyard and i repeated "Écoute les grenouilles, les grenouilles! "Frogs" for those who don't have a French dictionnary..

Maybe i was inspired by their song without knowing it 15 years later when the lyrics of "Sailing" popped into my head while picking blueberries in the mountains..

The animal communicator video got me thinking. So today I tried to communicate telepathically with my dog because I really haven't done that before and it worked almost instantly, I just had to tune in to the right "channel". I visualized energy or a chord flowing from me to him and then the connection was established, I was quite amazed. I got him to understand me, but I wasn't yet able to pick up his "thoughts" or anything like that. I wonder, do animals "think" in images? I guess that I have to work on it...

Hi Wind,

Do animals think in images? Wolfie has taught me to see visuals and use telepathy. He’s really patient. It’s as if he knows, she’ll get it, just keep sending the message. His communication of choice is thought-speak, and I fill in the blanks with visuals.

One time, Wolfie decided it was too cold for his little paws to walk across the snow. Unbeknownst to me, he stayed under some bushes and sent out a call for Mommy to come get him. He knows, I’ll ‘hear’ him. He gives no hint like shake his collar and tags. He only stands and stares with intent.

When he was a puppy, I took him to an animal psychic. She said she wouldn’t charge if I wasn’t satisfied, and also because for some animals it didn’t work.

He wanted me to stop worrying that he was going to die. And that it scared him. I had lost my son a couple of years earlier, so you can understand my fear. She had no way to know those facts. That's when I was convinced it wasn't my imagination, and we were a team.

Hellos from,
Wolfie and Paula

My iPad just slipped out of my hand, crashed to the floor, landed on its side and now the glass screen is smashed. I stuck scotch tape over the worst part, to hold it together. Everything is still working ok, though, including the camera.
What strange energies...I've been pretty worried about father-in-law.
Bummer.

My room mate dated Christopher Cross in the late 1970's for a while... we worked at Zeta4 in Miami Florida...she was a broadcast engineer, I was a DJ and the music director...always liked his music and he was a nice man.

Flash I felt there might be misunderstandings in connection with Rod Stuart as i wrote this post but since my lyrics are in Swedish noone made that connection here. ...No, sailing means "segla" in Swedish and it's me singing my own song in the link which i feel somewhat stupid to have posted once more since last time only 2 persons commented on it and i'm rather sensitive to negative critique or being ignored and although i've come a long way working on that problem it seems i'm still testing, testing testing

I'm a professional musiscian and singer/songwriter but for the last 2 years the Lyme has stopped me from performing and there's been many "sidetracks" during my life and moderate caréer and i've been wondering why the universe/my higher self puts up resistance for me to sing in public although i've had many chances to a major breakthrough...i've got some hints though...

And just before posting the mp3link, a person asked me to send her the link once more since she lost it and then i happened to go the village for the first time in a long time and the last post was Calz posting "Wooden Ships" which made me post my song once more in the village....sync sync

"Merry Christmas and a Happy New Timeline to You All"

[araucaria]

We were talking about multitasking a while back, when I promised an example of controlled multitasking The old story of asking a millipede how it walks is nonsense. It would have a formula for any one pair of legs and another for coordination between one pair and the next, and it would just be an iterative process from there on.

Compare this with the parameters involved in hitting a ball in the context of a game of tennis. The following paragraph is not necessarily meant to be read. Its mere size makes my point as well as any of the details. A single shot will typically last a couple of seconds, divided into preparation and follow-through, with a couple of tenths of a second in the middle when the ball and strings actually come into contact. This is the atom of which several combine to make up the molecule, called a rally, multiples of which form higher units, games and sets. And this atom can be split into many more subatomic particles.

The overall setup involves several parameters that are fine-tuned as you go – as the ball approaches and its trajectory, speed and spin become clearer. Footwork: getting into position from here to wherever in increasingly shorter steps; shot selection: forehand/backhand (getting into position, possibly switching to different grip), cross-court or down the line, top spin, slice, and/or side spin, or no spin; long or short; angle, always taking into account the variable height of the net and available distance between any two points; strategy (game plan: overall insistence on the opponent’s weakness(es); tactics (occasional deviation from the game plan in order to preserve its effectiveness); defence/offence (depending on the difficulty of the shot, the score (important point or not, need to play safe/take a risk) – this includes how early to hit the ball (before the bounce (volley), just after the bounce (half-volley),before/at/after the top of the bounce, all the way to scraping under the next bounce. Then there are the hand/wrist/forearm/elbow/shoulder positions and coordination thereof, with the other arm doing something different, and each leg ditto, including arm/leg coordination and considerations of weight transfer. And throughout all of this you need to keep your head still and your eye on the ball. I must be forgetting a few things but you get the picture. If you need to cough or sneeze as well, you will have to fit that in as best you can And of course you may need to factor in tiredness and/or injury too. And I have said nothing about what your opponent may be getting up to in the meantime to make life difficult.

This is not a tennis lesson. It is merely an indication of the complexity of something that even a not particularly bright child can learn to do reasonably well. How much more complex must it be then to achieve excellence in the task of living.

I want to take this somewhere, in another post, not in the direction of complexity, you will be relieved to know, but in the direction of simplicity.

[araucaria]

How complex tasks are learnt is by isolating the various parameters and working on them separately in the laboratory conditions of a training session and gradually integrating them. Yesterday’s tennis practice focused on the follow-through, in the first instance when a right-handed forehand takes the racket up past the left ear, holding it there until the ball bounces on the other side. Not particularly difficult; it comes fairly naturally in fact, just as long as you remember to do it.

Yesterday was neither the time nor the place to be philosophizing on what effect this movement could possibly have, given that the ball has already left the racket: simply, it has been established empirically that it is important in order to ensure that the ball lands in the court rather than in the street.

However, I can safely venture an explanation here. The ball has to be lifted up over the net and made to drop again on the other side. So in the couple of tenths of a second when the ball and strings come into contact, the racket needs to move through several different angles, starting under the ball to lift it and finishing on top of it to bring it down again. The purpose of the entire preparation and follow-through phases is to get this just right. This means turning a moment of danger or opportunity (the approaching ball) into one of danger passing or of opportunity being realized (the return). In terms of time, you have a before and an after, and the crucial and very brief ‘present’ moment, representing about a tenth of the whole duration, that everything else is aimed towards. It is like the peak of a sine wave, which doesn’t just happen on its own. Hence time is just another way of breaking down complexity, but the action itself as a whole is a timeless combination of past, present and future.

Transposing all this to a lifetime, it is said that a life is preceded by a prior planning phase, with a life review phase to follow. The actual lifetime being only an instant between the two where future and past meet in the present, which they both influence in different ways.

Ulli’s reminder that we are already dead

Well actually, the future has been and gone - you are all living in the past.

You are wrong, araucaria. All the predicted events happened,
and everyone died all at the same time,
and only a few were informed that they were already dead.
The great majority are imagining that the big wipe-out still lies ahead.
But what a relief it was when I realized that I had died,
and didn't have to worry no more about dying.

Now the only job I have to do is tell people they are already dead.
How 'bout that then?

I noticed soon after 2000 that I could do things that only spirit can do...
you know, mind stuff?

Hello, is there a link to an article or other reference we can take a look at please?

The past takes longer than expected.
There is a link but its in Dutch

Ja Ja. Ik ken dat.

Now you are channelling my dad. Platt Duitsch.
German dialect that sounds more Dutch than German...we lived near the Dutch border.

amounts to saying that we have moved on unnoticed from the strike to the follow-through phase: what we are experiencing right now is the life review, only it is happening on a collective rather than an individual level. Hence we can infer that a mass death event is already behind us. As to whether we see it as the ultimate disaster of mass extinction or the ultimate blessing of some kind of ascension process, the jury is still out, because, although occurring after the ‘event’, the follow-through phase still has to be executed properly in order to ensure a positive outcome. It is an active phase, not the passive inquest or stock-taking that we often imagine the life review to be. It is crucial and yet only a tiny part of who we are.

And it is only one shot in an endless tennis match, probably an important one, but the secret to straining every sinew is to… relax. And we can do that because the catastrophic event we call death is already behind us, no more than the twang of catgut against felt-coated rubber.

@araucaria

Thank you so much for "getting" what I was trying to say there.

I used my Facebook page to do my personal review...posted some of my college art work, and found people responded by pressing the LIKE button, as if they were surprised that I had such talents in me.

Yet those talents are irrelevant today, ...this is my discovery.
Why am I not painting these days? I have been asked this, over and over.
And my answer is that IT IS ALL OVER..., at least for me it is....
that period of an individuals's discovery of their gifts.
And maybe this is what transiten is also discovering...

What Im perceiving as important now is this...
TEAMS; GROUP identity, collective efforts.
The days of individual stardom are over. Pluto in Leo...
that was the last generation in this lifetime.

In the light of ET making themselves known to us earthlings in our nursery....
We are specks in one huge flock of birds, or leaves of one tree.

ulli, this is also happening in my personal life just now....Anyone else experiencing this? "The days of individual times of Stardom are over" and to that i've got Scorpio Sun conj Mercury square Pluto in "Me-generation Leo" in radix and Saturn blockings all over the place.....but i'm still alive and so are you here in the village and i've had two days of feeling quite Ok! My Libra Moon conj Neptune conj SN is longing for COOPERATION" tired of being this "Lonely Sailor"....

I can understand transiten. I have loads of unpublished material that does not correspond to the profile of what is commonly understood by a 'writer', and have learnt to see this as no longer relevant. This was the point of an earlier post:

Posted by araucaria (here)
Hi Christine
I see this thread as an incredible experiment in collective writing. I remember back in the eighties, long before the Internet, when this was a theoretical subject for intellectuals – what you had was heavyweight theory with lightweight practice. Of course back then, there were huge issues of leadership, exacerbated by material concerns such as who got to wield the piece of chalk, and it involved a highly structured discourse which I would call architectural in the sense that it called for planning and engineering to hold things together. Ego issues were theorized in terms of Mallarmé’s ‘disparition élocutoire’, whereby the writer as speaker disappears, leaving the initiative to the words themselves, but these issues were never resolved in practice, for you cannot leave your individuality at the door, precisely because it is your personal creative power that you need to bring to the table.

What we have here and now is a more relaxed stream-of-consciousness format which I would describe as organic rather than architectural. Individuals branch out wherever they see an opening, ideas grow, and structural unity is effortless because of the shared DNA; it is not hidebound by any predefined ideal shape. If it were a tree, it would be a hybrid, like a citrus, with oranges and lemons, tangerines and clementines all growing off the same trunk. Here we can achieve that community of individualities where the writer as speaker truly does disappear, leaving the initiative to the words themselves, in the sense that you are what you say, but you are also more than that, you have your secrets too, things not to be spoken and things simply left unsaid because not everything is possible or timely and appropriate. At least not yet: we have come 1818 pages to be told that Ulli is a great greeter

I have a friend, who is rather scholarly, and also quite attached to the British heritage
and in shock at what has been going on there in recent years....and is currently following the hacking trial.
Well I gave her another shock today when I pointed out to her that I no longer have any interest
in the intricacies of historical events, and pointed her in the direction of Jimmy Saville
and the surrounding scandals, which make the hacking scandal look pale by comparison.

[Carmody]

I too find the same. as soon as I complete it, in the physical sense, it is no longer relevant.

For me.

For others it may be.

But they are not on my lifeline and timeline.

It may be something for them to discern, or it may be distraction.

What I put down to making 'real' then becomes critical, at the one point, my sharing. As my sharing is either selfish or selfless, in those moments. Thus, to be clear before it is shared, or given. To share my distraction and it's manifestation.... and turn people (in their weakness and strength of taking externalizations of other into internalization/self) to drooling mud, or to share my distraction and turn people toward growth and opening?
