    Thank you! For the 'read' link. I had read that story a few years back. I had completely forgotten about it. Good to re-read!

    Rather than just posting some great music from a world class musician, I realized what I was doing inside my head while listening to a brilliant piece of musical artistry, and the effect it had on me (powerfully uplifting.) So, I posted it on the thread where Avalonians are asking for help: here.

    If you have time (and the inclination), please try the experiment.

    I just wanted to drop in the village and share one of my brain-droppings.

    When it comes to music, I'm not much of a lyric person, especially when it comes to modern music. I prefer to listen to classical or instrumental covers, because I can lose myself in the melody and allow the different sounds to take me away. I can allow the sounds to elicit deep emotions within my being so I can transplant myself into the music, and adapt the song to my life. Personally, I can't do that with most songs, because most modern songs are very much written with the ego that is focused on materialism and conformity.

    For instance, I find the song "Royals" by Lorde to be absolutely brilliant. The melody is unique and beautiful. But in my opinion, the lyrics really suck. The lyrics are about materialism and ego, which sometimes makes me think about how humans squander their creativity by feeding their work with modern materialism.

    Here are the lyrics:

    I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
    I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
    And I'm not proud of my address
    In the torn up town, no post code envy

    But every song's like:
    Gold teeth
    Grey Goose
    Tripping in the bathroom
    Bloodstains
    Ball gowns
    Trashing the hotel room
    We don't care, we're driving Cadillacs in our dreams

    But everybody's like:
    Crystal
    Maybach
    Diamonds on your timepiece
    Jet planes
    Islands
    Tigers on a gold leash
    We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair

    And we'll never be royals (royals)
    It don't run in our blood
    That kind of lux just ain't for us, we crave a different kind of buzz
    Let me be your ruler (ruler)
    You can call me queen bee
    And baby I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule, I'll rule
    Let me live that fantasy


    And here is the song:



    Now remove the lyrics, and you get a wonderful rendition with just instruments. To me, it sounds 100 times better this way, and really shows the creative potential in humans for being able to produce such a beautiful melody. Simply remove the materialistic lyrics, and we are left with a beautiful piece that allows the mind to wander. Anybody can now relate to this song and feel intense emotion from simply hearing the melody, and they can apply the melody to their own life. The minor chords elicit feelings of sadness, and major chords elicit feelings of happiness. With the absence of lyrics, one could allow the melody to bring out these deep emotions without any lyrical interference (cultural programming).

    "Rather than love, than fame, than money, give me truth."
    ~Henry David Thoreau

    Yesterday was a wonderful day! Kyle and I took his children, my grandchildren to the pool and we swam and played for hours. Then we came back to my house and frosted and decorated cupcakes. Lots of laughter, loads of fun! It was a good visit with them.

    Well, I seem to have been adopted by a cat. I have to be careful, because when I am lonely for a long time, I attract stray cats, and now one has come around...a sweet, pure white Persian, with golden eyes. I have to check with my neighbor, and if she doesn't belong to him, then I am going to adopt her. She has already adopted me, though, lol.

    She looks very much like this, although that is not her.



    She reminds me very much of my beloved Dulcinea, who I had to leave in Spain. Dulcinea was a sweet Persian kitty, although a tabby, and not white, but with the same sweetness...very affectionate, and a lap cat...and I have had a hole in my heart where she used to be ever since I left Spain.

    I once had a cat like that. The only animal I ever bought from a pet shop, and back then I wasn't yet stray conscious.

    Anyway, here is something to contemplate during the next meditation.

    What do you guys make of this? It was just brought to my attention.

    29 “holistic doctors/ naturopaths ” found lying in the garden” and some staggering doubled over in pain, some in a “life threatening” state from amphetamine poisoning. They were all in attendance at an “alt med” Homeopathic Health Conference. Doctors and practitioners (those who could speak) allegedly said they didn’t knowingly take anything they took that would cause this. Some were hallucinating and some still too sick to be questioned and hospitalized.

    15 ambulances along with a helicopter were sent in to help the holistic doctors and naturopaths at the homeopathic conference. Some found with “life threatening conditions” mainstream news reports.

    Depending on the news sources these practitioners are called alt med/ holistic doctors or naturopaths, but one thing is clear: the articles state that experts at the scene said it didn’t appear they knowingly ingested what made them ill. Some were extremely ill when the 15 ambulances and helicopter flew in to the rescue.
    ....
    Authorities said their preliminary finding was that the group was poisoned with amphetamines, but Koehlbrandt said they didn’t knowingly take the substance
    ...

    It happened Friday afternoon, Sept 4/2015, in Germany. The doctors were taken to various clinics in the Hamburg area.
    I got the above from http://www.healthnutnews.com/us-news...-took-nothing/

    After Dr Bradstreet's demise and the GcMAF debacle in Florida and the southeast, it appears that big pharma has put out a mandate against anything alternative to the allopathic approach to drugs and surgery, radiation treatments and toxic vaccines and drugs. Anything that actually works is being attacked, in my opinion.

    I just had a judgement lien on an old credit card debt entered against me, even though the entire court process was a total sham, where the attorneys do not have to follow the rules and the judge just rubber-stamps their paperwork without reading any of the opposing arguments.

    I really don't know what it is going to take to break down the current system, which in my mind is completely broken, run by psychopaths whose agendas are against life and against health and sovereignty, and the complicit nature of all those who claim to be sentient empaths who participate in the system and support it.

    We are so engrained with the notions of scarcity and survival, that we cling to our jobs even if they are against the well being of our neighbors, because the threat of poverty lingers for those who do not participate, pay their bills, stay in debt and keep their mouths shut.

    What kind of life is that? How do we expect to evolve and grow spiritually if we stay stuck in the slavery, energy vampirism, competitive hierarchy, hoarding of resources, and ownership paradigm, controlled by centralized global behemoth corporations protected by military force?

    Will we continue to build the war paradigm of divisiveness, polarization, and the memes of destruction and the beliefs that humans are incapable of taking care of themselves and that they are inherently evil?

    We are not inherently evil, and we do not need to be saved or taken care of, or controlled. That is a huge lie, and the sooner we snap out of it "en masse" and tell the psychopaths we are done and don't want to participate in the war mongering, exploitative, ritualistic, vampiring, slave control system any more, the better.

    (end of rant)

    It is all about entering the story on the record, so it can be referred to at a later date. The creation of a 'history'. To have a story about homeopaths nearly killing themselves with 'hallucinogens'. A game, a warning, an attack, the insertion of a fear mindset to create the negative mindset in others, to create the antagonistic duality, and the story on the record (an incorrectly stated 'lie' record).

    To make others think twice about using homeopathic methodologies and to not get themselves involved in it. That the doctors are foolish drugged out pagans and nearly died; or they were attacked and nearly died. Both potential views serve the same purpose and master.

    Some people do bother to investigate and they 'investigate' by looking at the story link. Now, with this story, the falsified aspects of it on the record, a layered lie can be inserted into the system at a later date. Complete with investigative links, leading back to the earlier lie. SOP in the world of history creation for human consumption.

    Stepping out for a bit. Seems my supportive & nonjudgmental DNA’s gone on vacation. Don’t want to spread the cooties.

    I am beside myself.. No OBE pun, this time. I've been fighting a long battle to obtain my adoption records. It has been my entire adult life..

    Today, i received,, in the mail,,, my adoption records! I am Cherokee, and do NOT need to prove who I am! With that said,,, i broke down and cried in lament over the battle to obtain proof! Oklahoma Courts sealed the records, as it was an adoption.

    I miss my Brother Bear!

    I took my sovereignty already! Nobody can take it... I cannot get over the fact that we must PROVE who we are! Its embarrassing, and demoralizing!


    I am Jake! I am -Little Eagle-... Though, I already knew that too!


    What a release!
    Love to all. .

    Couldn't be happier for you Jake!!! I'd give ya a hell of a hug if I could brother..

    Ya know, my mother's maiden name is Featherstone. Her 2 brothers, my uncles, till this day, look like warrior indians....although a bit more so when they were younger and thinner. Their features are undeniably native american. If you dressed them in leather garments with frayed ends, gave them tomahawks and ordered them to walk out of a forest and into a busy civilian area...people would scatter, ok?

    In fact, when I was little, my best friend would always say "when are your Indian uncles coming over again?" It seemed that obvious to us. And we were just kids.

    And yet, everyone in the family insists it's an English name. Was Featherstone-Ha, and was changed to Featherstone to Americanize when they came over from the motherland...or so they tell me. But it just doesn't jibe with what seems obvious. My uncle Ed told me recently that before he went to Catholic school his mother would warn him to keep his native American ancestry a secret. So I don't know what to think now...but at the very least I like to consider myself an honorary member...I'm fascinated with the culture
