Sheesh, Carmody. I know well what you speak of. I vascillate between feeling crazy or feeling blank. Struggling to remember or struggling to suspend disbelief. As usual, your post is timely for me.

I'm sorry to hear you have left Barbados, Ulli. I guess part of you will remain. It doesn't sound like the best of circumstances, doesn't feel like that was an easy decision. I hope it is a good move for you, and you have peace about it.

Much Love,

As a guy, I think he has exaggerated features. The perfect body and face for some caricature drawing. Which happened to him quite a bit, as I recall. Him and Steven Tyler from Areosmith. A pair of bookends....

Mick Jagger is much too skinny for my taste, but yeah, with his strong features, he's always been perfect caricature material, for sure.

In my experience it is the same effect of learning a new skill. It takes time for the neurological changes to take hold, so that the reflexes become natural and flow freely.

In this case it is the new information that has to take hold and flow freely. The new thinking has to take hold and flow freely. Like physical workouts, it takes repetition and constancy to make it take hold, and when we slip back into no work, for too long a time, we lose that skill, we lose that health of the body, that strength of the body.

Neurological change is the same in that regard of how it happens.

I've had that happen quite a bit, where I'll have peak moment a peak realization, and it will slip away. To feel it slipping away, as it is just revealed. Nothing evil about it , nothing about contrary influence (entities, etc), unless you can call the context of relation to and of the rest of the world ....being the thing that causes the fall back or slip back down the slope, from that peak moment.

Sometimes, to write peak things/moments down, this can sometimes help. But they can also sound and look like gobbledygook to us when we read them back later on, as the connectivity moment is gone and the context is missing.

The deal is that it is not like driving down a road and then stop the car and put a marker in the soil. The car may hold it's own but our mind cannot. Not immediately, at least. The mind is, metaphorically speaking, on a slope. Trying to drive up a slope. and it's brakes are weak, and subject to failure, if there is no regular and constant maintenance. No matter what one does with their brain, it is always on a slope. Either parked on it, or driving up it. Or slipping backward. There is no resting plateau, in reality, there is only a given short rest time that we might, though desire...mistake for a plateau. The slope is a constant and rust is never sleeping.

This makes a good deal of sense. Over the last few days away from the computer, I looked at something I wrote 6 years ago, not so much a marker as the steep slope itself, as the writing of it was quite a climb. But the intervening period of continued climbing has included a hairpin bend (or a full circle round the mountain), meaning that the milestone is far behind in linear terms, but very close in translinear terms (only a short scramble for someone on foot) and no longer on a level but down below. From the higher perspective, what seemed big back then seems much smaller now.

The paradox of climbing is that looking to one side and upwards, there is very little to inspire: just a wall of rock and an immediate stretch of roadway: enough to make you wonder why you bother. What keeps you going is looking out and down over the ground covered, and beyond. The nostalgia of looking back on where we’ve come from and doing so from a perspective that makes it look so much better than we remembered it can either spur us on to evolve towards better things or to devolve back down the mountain.

This is why what I write today is always going to be a closer approximation than anything I wrote earlier. This is the exact reverse of all kinds of urtexts, ancient sacred writings, holy books and carvings in stone, none of which can ‘stand the test of time’. Nothing stands the test of time, we are all moving on. Just between writing this and posting it, I find another post from Carmody

Reality is quantum in nature, and thus, is on a timeless scale.

When we get to mass atomic structure, we arrive at the timeline unidirectional time universe we call 3D time-space.

We arrive here, we emerge from out of the 2d quantum field aspects. Our existence is a literal -- flowing emergence.

We project INTO the timeline-unidirectional time universe we call 3D. We live by looking out the rear view mirror, and see only into the 3D time universe, when we use our ego and our bodies.

When we realize the inner self, where the flow into this space comes from... the quantum, timeless, multi-dimensional aspects - come forth.

So, Mike, Twain, etc.. think of it this way:

You are standing in a river:

each atom is like a windmill that is spinning from the flow and it is created by the flow. The windmill or atom as a spinning vortex pattern. Seen only in and via their context to one another.

When we think, when we emote, when we walk and talk, when our heart beats, we are looking DOWNSTREAM ONLY, at the past ONLY. VIA the past. all of the universe of 3d time-space and unidirectional time is a history. It is historical. It contains only the past.

Science will tell you that the exact NOW moment is impossible to reach, except by 'quantum spookiness' Which means, in the context of atoms and elements, alloys and chemicals, etc... they all exist in the past, no matter how we measure them, it is always the past. Even though the NOW moment is what makes them go, what they run on, what their interactions stem from.

So, you can look inside and then be in the now moment, out of time, multi-dimensional, anywhere, any time any place, any interaction, any connection....... or continue to look at the past ---of your ass. Literally.

The animal, the body, the avatar that we project into this past via, filters everything. EVERYTHING, and it makes sure that you continue to look at this past timeline 3d time-space universe thing.

Now, importantly, when we project, we can project into and on those historical elements of atoms and the time-space that exists as a relation between them. But remember that within each of them, is a NOW moment, they flow from the eternal all connected NOW moment. And we are connected to all things, we are of that now moment.

So, when someone brings their affected and nasty past into the now moment and projects it upon the atoms and dark matter, in it's emergence into this 'past' thing called 3d reality... ..it can and does affect EVERYTHING.

All the weird science, the alien encounters, the psychic encounters, the whole damn thing, all of it....all you can think of ...is directly explained via this simple explanation. This simple point of vital understanding.

So, to not be negative -as integration, as projection... to not shift and color the emergence of the now moment.... as it flows into being as the past and as representation of the 3D universe that every one reading this tends to call 'reality'.'


For example, crossing dimensions? Beings feeding off us, from other dimensions? Yes, no problemo, definitely possible, as the NOW moment of emergence is the fulcrum point. Other dimensions are simply relational aspects of this flow, at a different angle of integration (connected at the same fulcrum) and interaction. So when you are manipulated into modifying your own reality, this can and does cause energy shifts in other dimensions. it is all frequency dependent energetic vibration, thus ley lines and dimensional crossing zones, dimensional craft that travel through the fulcrum point, and then emerge elsewhere, etc. The list of things that can be explained via this simple point is endless as the questions, as it all fits. and Occam's razors says that..the simplest answer..tends to be the right one.

There is no question in all of science and all weird questions, physics or otherwise....that cannot be answered, when it the analysis is rooted in this simple point.

Ulli, I love your posts, but "The Lapine" is a satirical newspaper, Canada's equivalant to the "The Onion"
Which is from Wisconsin, by the way

I got fooled, too. My brother-in-law is a fire chief. I got an up close understanding of firefighters dedication. It's like they're in a zone out there saving lives and property. Real life super heroes.

O dear! Not the first time this has happened to me. Getting old and slack.
It also goes to show the depth of my prejudice when it comes to campaigning politicians.

Satire and wisdom go hand in hand.

Prejudice is defined as a "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". That being so, the reason The Lapine's joke worked is exactly because of peep's previous experience of narcissistic, photo-op happy politicians.

So you are not prejudiced against campaigning politicians, Ulli. The Lapine used your own wisdom against you...especially since you had never heard of The Lapine and did not know its character...that's all. I would have believed the same thing about any politician...especially American ones.

p.s. I had never heard of The Lapine, either.

Hi All You Loving Villagers...Wonderful Day to You : )

Back at ECETI with Spirit Family after an Awesome 'Family Re-union' in San Diego!!! About 120 of Us were there from east and west coast and Cousins from around the world as New Zealand, Japan and such!!!

Love You All, Dan eaglespirit

p.s. Come visit Us at the Ranch some time and 'en-JOY' the Surroundings : )

Anyone heard anything about a meteor strike in Iran in the last 15 hours (apparently at least three)?

[Violet]

My airplane has landed. Mediterranean sun was unbearable this year. Brains frying in the shadow and unseen inertia. The breezy mountain winds hit us only for a short time before they too turned into hot oven winds that we sought to avoid.

I met some people. They said things and I listened. Some of it I understood and some of it not. Sometimes things get complicated.

But most of all there was the night sky. I spent nearly all my nights under open skies. Indoor sleeping was impossible.



This is not my picture. I tried to capture it but my cam won't do. I've never seen so much starry action in my whole life. It was wonderful. It was amazing. I am so grateful to have been able to witness...all that.

And one night there was a very low pink fog. Could almost grab it with my hands. It left dewy residue on my sheets. By morning I had already had my shower.

We went to a pretty much deserted mountain area were there was this intermittent buzzing, like clippers (sample). I heard this as we were driving with open windows. It would last for perhaps a meter, halt abruptly, and then after a bit of driving, there it was again. There was no fade in or out to it. And the car being in constant motion, it was an unusual experience. I looked out for farm activity or other technology in the vicinity that could explain for this seemingly electrically powered sound, but there were no utility poles. It was very loud and so nearby. At one point we stopped the car because we thought it might actually be the car. It wasn't. Someone said it might be crickets, it was getting dark. Those were not crickets. Ongoing cricket sound will fade out when the distance increases, and at the slow speed we were driving we could almost map that falling line. Nope. I feel very stupid for not having recorded the sound because I had my cam right there but I was too busy looking for the source. I did remember to take a picture:





By the way, remember the 111 from one of my profile albums? This particular picture ends in 111, and the zero preceding it separates it from a number that adds up to 11.

I'd love to go back there one day just to find out more, it just a pity that it's so far away and there is nothing else to do around there. The time we had for exploration was very short because the sun was setting and this is not a safe place to be at night, with no light.

Back here in Belgium, listening to radio "warnings" of a hot day coming up. Kind of makes me laugh. Today was a prelude, I'm wearing socks.

[RunningDeer]

Welcome home, Violet. I find that I usually need a vacation when I come back from one.

Yipes! the title you provided got it wrong. In the summary it says: Clippers soothing sound to sleep, white noise, hypnotic sound.

East coast has been hit with heat and humidity. I’m running an experiment. That damn monster air conditioner was a drain on my psyche. It triggers vulnerability and “What if the grid goes down? What then?”

I thought about it some more. Up until I moved here, I never had an air conditioner. And I’ve lived in some stuffy 2nd and 3rd floor apartments with no cross ventilation. Back in the day, one trusty fan got hauled from one room to another. By the end, there was more dust on it’s blades then wind coming out. Poor thing. It’s last days were spent in my classroom. I left it behind to a custodian when I retired. He had cleaned out all it’s working parts for me. They don’t make fans like that anymore.

Back to the damn monster air conditioner…I’ve benched it for the season. A side benefit is that my electric bill is down 33% from the same month last year even though I run 2-3 fans at night to cool my place down. I invested in those insulated curtains that keep the heat out. Soooo damn monster air conditioner is off my bucket list of emotional energy zappers. Ahhhh! Fresh air.

So's my toaster. It’s been 10 weeks today since I had bread at home. If birds had fir instead of feathers, they'd have shiny coats. They've been eating the last three loaves of my Ezekiel stash. Four more slices and then there were none. I gave it up because I feared I couldn’t. When I’m out with friends and family, I go with the flow.

Silly, bread’s a small thing. But it’s the small things that help me keep the gutsy parts of me well oiled.

Speaking of which, coffee’s back. One a day. I’m waiting for a coffee grinder, organic coffee, a Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper and two cool Le Creuset mugs to arrive by week’s end. I tossed out my coffee paraphernalia a couple of year ago including my favorite coffee cup from the 1970’s. (See method and equipment below.)

Such silliness for one cup of coffee. I feel like I'm playing house. Actually, I feel like I play house a lot these days.

I decided to change things up when I read an article on orthorexia which is a new word and topic for me.
