Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ernie Nemeth]

I got stood up at work, had to come home. In the old days I would have not talked to the guy for a few days minimum. But now I do things differently. Waited at home without anger for his call. In the old days I would have forgiven him my time. Now I do things differently. I am going to charge him the waste of my time. ha, so there!

This is great, Ernie.
And it also illustrates there there is no single rule the same for everyone.
For instance, Capricorns like me start out in life unforgiving...never forgetting a slight.
Caps need to practice forgiveness and mercy in a conscious manner.

Whereas Pisceans forgive and forget automatically, and end up being unfair to themselves and being doormats and confused about what to do.
So when a Pisces wakes up he realizes he is just as valuable as anyone else,
and that self sacrifice is not always in the best interest of the whole.
There is such a thing as right and wrong, or there would be no justice.

So the best balance is between justice (Capricorn/Saturn...which is mind, or mathematical precision)
and mercy, (Pisces/Neptune, which is compassion and heart.)
So as always, a question of context.

For a person to come to wholeness and break away from the planetary compulsions
they simply need to try new responses, until they find out what works best for themselves as well as the whole.

me there is so many changes I practically am teaching students like I'm in some other universe and they are too. hahah
then the breaks I have trouble keeping the body awake.
I get home and the being wants to get on the forum but the body just says .... "sleep ... sleep .... sleep... "

so I'm going to let it sleep and catch you in the morning. My mornings is like 8 AM here would be 8 pm in ecuador so I'll catch you later in the day.

I am off to sleep.

What a perfect moment captured. Expression on the kids faces

Well, the warning three years ago from the Onion has come true!

Didn't spell it out as much on this forum ... go to 40 second mark (unless you want to enjoy the complete vid) to see the depiction of a mind controlled subject of the Disney ilk ...


... next generation of what??? Madonna, Britney and Christine?


Man ... if it would have been mouseketeer Annette Funicello ... I would have been right there with the Smith kids (at that age).

Sun is intense, making everything vivid, especially the dew. The pale half moon peeks through the exquisite blue sky...no planes today yet

Donk!!!

Wow ... Spaceghost ...thanks for taking about 50 years from me for a few (illusional) seconds.

Hahaha, too funny...that happens in Costa Rica al the time...
a lot of the American furniture is too large for our tiny huts.

I only ever buy furniture that I have measured beforehand, and that I can move by myself,
and I only ever buy second hand, and if there are no local auction houses then I use Craigslist.

I was thinking of doing an IKEA warehouse in Costa Rica, bringing in second-hand IKEA
which in Miami's Craigslist sells incredibly cheap...$10 tables, and no import duty on second hand...
if I were younger that is the business I would get into at this time...
as long as there are container ships we might as well fill them with affordable stuff.

[TargeT]

I'm feeling pretty awesome right now, I went home from work to try and move the appliances (looks like i can take the doors off the fridge and get it in the kitchen, so thats good)

then on my way out I rode my $14k electric motorcycle into my pool. I'm now sitting, drenched at my desk wondering if my bike or cell phone will work; & possibly if my wrist is just bruised or slightly broken.

GOOD TIMES!

looks like I needed a little cosmic slap of humility, my boots being full of water is actually nice and cool....

Hello to everyone in the village! I have just caught up from yesterday. Ulli the chicken pic made me spit my tea
You must have a photographic memory to be able to find a chicken that sooo resembles M.C.'s saggy bottom!

TargeT, that happened to me once too and the delivery guys removed a few pins from the fridge and took the door off to get it in the house. It is worth a try my friend!!!

Of to the market now, so have a good day!


Addendum- Oh I see you had already posted that the door was removed and the fridge now has a home! That's good!

[Ernie Nemeth]

Damn T, that ain't funny. So sorry I laughed but the picture in my mind made me do it. Hope your wrist is alright, though.

Forget the wrist, I hope the bike is ok!

[heretogrow]

OMG TargeT, I was on a cell and didn't read your message all the way through because I was at a stop and the light turned green! I only read the first line LOL! Here and Now I find you were soggy, with a near broken wrist and I motorbike that had a wash it probably could have done without.

I hope you and the bike are ok and you have a cold beer in the fridge!

Your story reminded me of Keith Moon, the drummer of the Who, who drove a car into the pool of the Holiday Inn they were staying at...apparently the band were billed $50,000 for the little mishap.

Of course Keith did it on purpose....I take it yours was an accident?

There is a story about this lawyer, and he had just bought a brand-new BMW, and as he was parking it outside the office a bus came by and ripped off the door of his car as he was opening it.
And when the cops arrived he was standing there, whining about his car.
So the cop says. "You lawyers are all the same...here you are ...with your left arm ripped off,
and all you can think about is your BMW."
So the lawyer looks at his missing left arm, blood squirting from his shoulder, and he screams
"OMG, my ROLEX!!!"

That's what I was thinking about all afternoon at work(my bike is my transportation to work so the family can have the truck); well that and wishing my wife had video taped it. I was trying to ride up a couple of steps at the front of the pool then turn and ride around, when I went to lift the front wheel up the stairs (via wheely, of course, I had an audience after all!) I got off balance & twisted the throttle which changed the two stairs into a ramp, basically launching the bike (and me) to the half way point of the pool. I was a bit off center (since I meant to ride around, not into the pool.. Lol) so as the bike and I flew through the air (me significantly further) we were along the edge & my momentum carried me to the "kidney" shaped indent that I hit with my right side as I entered the pool mostly head first.

I popped my head out of the water (about 5' deep where I landed) and took off my helmet and tossed it out of the pool, the dug my phone out of my pocket and it followed the helmet. I had to hold my breath and duck under the water to grab the bikes handlebars so I could walk it (under water) the 8 feet or so to the shallow end stairs. When I got to the stairs I realized it was still on so I turned off the key and wrestled it out of the water.

Of course by that time I had the help of the whole family, since my wife laughed/screamed as I flew into the pool, so I walked the bike back down the ramp,,, err "stairs", and parked it in the sun, pulled the battery from my phone and put it in some rice; grabbed a towel (for my truck seat) and drove back to work.

I just test rode the bike and everything works; even if I loose my phone this is just another fun life story at this point (the bike is fine!) so I'm sort of wince/laughing at this point... Haha

One thing about the Caribbean Islands...you need to have a constant supply
of anecdotes and even drama to survive there socially.

Looks to me like you figured out that rule already.

Why as soon as Data gets emotions he hooks up with an alien nympho with a robot complex?

That's funny, Ernie.

Meanwhile I was going to ask the computer a different question. Quite non-humorous.

You see, I don't get the Middle East, ever.

I am now returning to Avalon after a year-long alcohol-induced stupor. Friends can rest easy, my recovery has gone quite well. I spent the year working in a dive bar in my hometown, meeting all sorts of damaged, unhappy people. After contending with much frustration in the realization that most people don't want to hear the truth, I drank a lot of alcohol and moved away from proper shamanism into a very imbalanced state. I ended up killing quite a few heart cells as well with the unclean drugs I was putting in my body. Fortunately, my body is now healthier than it has ever been and I hardly feel inclined to drink liquor or consume any other dissociative type of substance. I am eating almost all raw, organic food with no meat or sugar. I even quit drinking caffeine because I have such a naturally high level of energy now.

I was watching a Dan Winter video the other day and found myself quite moved by his story about the addictive process (monoatomic gold and the Annunaki) and relying on an external source to generate ones own bliss versus becoming the capacity to generate that energy from within. This is very telling of our day-to-day habits. I still stand by something my friend Drunvalo told me about shamanic plants, that they "can accelerate ones spiritual growth immensely beyond the rate of typical incarnation." Shamanism co-exists with the Earth-game in this way, in that it is only allowed in relative obscurity. Those who venture into higher vibrational modes become the heralds of the new dawn for everyone else. If everyone became a herald, hell would break loose.

In other news, I am building a video game with a small team of people who want to change consciousness. Our first project challenges players by allowing them to understand how the process of mental deception works between individuals and masses. We also base our lore off of the ancient history of Sumeria, Egypt, Atlantis, and other civilizations such as the discarnate - much of which was researched through Avalon in some way. The second project is a story about growing up to be a shaman in 1990s California, and coming to learn and participate in the cosmic history of life. We are building a demo of our first game and knocking on doors in Palo Alto, CA for investment capital.

It's great to see so many familiar faces next to all of your wonderful posts. I look forward to participating again in this community with some of my favorite people. Love and blessings to all of you!
