What we may be here to do

[Bill Ryan]

-------

Dear All:

I'm as certain as I can be that in the next 6-9 months quite a lot is going to happen that may require us to get our life jackets on (routine and sensible when ocean sailing), work together well, and safeguard our energy, resources and well-being until the storm is over.

Like sailing at sea, storms are not to be feared -- just to be handled. If one wanted to avoid storms, one should not be at sea at all. Here we are all on this planet this lifetime, and it wasn't a mistake. You chose to be here. You have a mission to accomplish.

If you have a good boat and a good crew, then it's simply an adventure ... and, as a spin-off, a test and learning experience for everyone.

It can be a great deal of fun. Nothing trivial is intended by that statement. As spiritual beings, we're all fun-loving dolphins swimming in the universal sea... and sometimes we find ourselves trapped in nets which we have to get out of. That's part of the adventure, too.

The only real problem is remembering your mission. Not easy with Jason-Bourne-amnesia. Look for clues all around you: people you know, people you meet, the things that "happen to you", the coincidences and synchronicities, and what energizes you and keeps capturing your attention.

Then make a guess at what you might be here to do, and start right now -- if you're not already well on your way.

You didn't come here just to watch the show. You're also in the movie, and can change its course. That's why you're here.

Ask yourself these two questions today:

• Am I doing what I came here to do?
• Am I doing enough?

(Of interest: my own answers to the above are (a) Yes, and (b) No, there's always more.)


My warmest wishes to everyone -- Bill

yup ...so true; had the same sail through the storm vision two weeks ago

Maybe the storm is unavoidable. Maybe the storm is in divine order. Maybe the big opportunity will present itself in the years after.

Maybe all those beautiful people all over the world and on this forum were awakened and prepared by the Universe to be the teachers of tomorrow. To be ready when the time comes…

Good on yer Bill - always positive

Tough questions Bill, and if you don't mind, can I make them even tougher?

Are they in reference to freeing our own individual minds, or freeing the world at large?

Boiling it down. Is the world even meant to be changed, or to be individually transcended?

Cheers,
Fred

Many thanks Bill.

A general answer to the second question, Am I doing enough? may well be Probably

Often less is more, and trying too hard is where we start going wrong.

Great post Bill.

I've been confidently waiting for direction and it's coming in rather strongly now. I had been in 911 synchronicity mode for more than six years but particularly in the last three. That very recently switched to 1111... it's been absolutely everywhere and both eerily and gleefully obvious. During that time my personal life has also completely changed.... and it's as if I saw in advance everything that was going to happen. Elton John said "I've seen this movie too". That's what it feels like, and I sense these changes coming up for the earth in my gut these days, and not just in the mind..... and the epiphany of my particular assignment is near at hand.

I have a feeling I have more important things to do than have negative energy wars with Internet shills, sock puppets and trolls.....

I enjoyed the sailing metaphor. Having spent a great deal of time with my hand on a main sheet, which is a huge part of living in Florida... I used to get frustrated when something unexpected occurred. But as my confidence grew, I started to look at it differently... Mainly because I only learned something new, and relevant, when something unexpected happened. (Sample: Never tie the anchor line to the stern when the wind picks up, and you're drifting through the mooring field)

Now, when I set sail, I ask myself, "What will I learn today?".. I have never been on the water without a lesson looming... it's a given...after awhile you kind of look forward to a new lesson! My Father-in-law, who has sailed for over 60 years tell's me "You will never know, or be able to predict... The only thing you can control - Is your reaction"

An excellent bit of learning and analogy on what might be the better idea nd mindset.

Our issue here, is that we are figuring out that there is some aspect of the sea and the weather being either preordained or steered by someone or something. That we are finding out that there is a falsified and unnatural (whatever natural means) Neptune of the Sea of some sort and that they may not have our best interests at heart. that this 'Neptune', that is moving about the backdrop itself.. for their desires and aims, not ours.

If it can be identified as a shape, an influence....it can be found, it can be quantified... and it can be solved as mysteries go- and it can be corrected for.

I loved the dolphin metaphor! I saw them swimming and playing so clearly in my mind as if i were really there with them. Thanks Bill!
Lately though, I've been going back and forth first feeling that something BIG is going to happen this year, and then swinging back the other way feeling nothing is going to change for the better, and that I'll still be wondering what's going to happen next in the year 2014, 15, 16, etc...... It seems like so many earth-changing predictions keep getting delayed or postponed until further and further into the future especially predictions by non-mainstream economists. I've heard that our economy is about to collapse for the last 3+ years and yet it doesn't. I'm sorry if I sound anxious for it to happen, but I feel it will be one of the most important ending points of the current paradigm we've been enslaved too for the last 5000 years. Once it crashes, from the ashes can a new and free system emerge.

[Star Mariner]

Thanks Bill, but I ask, what do you personally believe is going to happen over the next 6-9 months??

I ask myself this question on almost a daily basis. And I just do not know. I have many guesses, I have many hopes, scarcely any fears however.

Is it perhaps an increase in social unrest, complete economic collapse, something even catastrophic... or something remarkable?

Ever see that show 'Doomsday Preppers'? It's currently showing over here on I think NatGeo. Many believe wholeheartedly that some sort of end, or at least cataclysm, is coming, and they are preparing to 'bug out'. Fortunes are being spent on bunkers, in stockpiling every kind of provision imaginable, including weapons. Oh, many, many weapons.

They live in a paradigm of fear.

I have no stockpile of food or supplies. I am not prepared, and I will bear no arms. Perhaps I'm naive, or perhaps I know that I won't need any of that...

[Heartsong]

I've been feeling like my storms have passed....perhaps a few blustery days ahead but nothing I can't handle.

[Jake]

Yes, that is correct. It is never too late to start. Indeed, it is not accident that you are right here, right now! I am very excited, and approach those questions in the spirit of joy, as opposed to the spirit of fear or confusion. Do ALL of the things that you can, because once on the other side of the veil,,, you are going to wish that you did.

1) Yes, I am doing what I came to do.
2) No, You are right, Bill. There is always more. Much more.

I am putting my faith in the same world that (at many times) I have loathed. Love for the world around me, starts with with the love I have within myself. I work hard at shedding layers and doing the work that will make me a better person. I don't necessarily see the same work being done by everyone around me. That is okay,,, I will be there for them, when the time comes. We will all need each other, before the end.

I have always been a bleating heart,, a dreamer. Yet, as I look back,, My dreams have all come true. It is about the experience and creation of self, and reality is created around you. I am excited.

It is time we quit 'clinging to the rocks and twigs', and Let Go! The current may take us downstream, and it may get bumpy,, but,,, Damn, what a ride!!!

Love to all. Jake.

We must rely on our inter strength. Get spiritual strong within yourself. We know something is going to happen for we feel it and the question is what's the "something"? This passed weekend the Senate overwhelmingly approved a resolution to stop Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. A 90-1 vote the measure was introduced by that warmonger Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham also Democratic Sen. Bob Casey and Independent Sen.Joe Lieberman.

Now to me they are setting the table with war with Iran and that could very well be the "something" coming our way...

[WhiteFeather]

Well put Bill. And in fact can we stop the so called storm/timeline from occurring just being in a positive state of consciousness thus holding the line together.
I believe many have incarnated here to help Earth. And as Dolores Cannon states. The call went out to the universe and many have heard the call and volunteered (incarnated here) to assist Mother Earth.

[Lazlo]

The time frame of impending disruption is what I find personally interesting.

Three years I was living in Northern California and there was an anxiety in my life, telling me to be "somewhere else." I was caught up in in prepping and doom porn. I packd up and headed for an interim location until the right answer was provided by universe. I finally made it to where I am now, and the anxiety is gone. It's not as if I don't think that something wicked this way comes, it's just that I am no longer concerned with it. I have stopped surfing the net for posts and articles that "confirmed" my suspicions about the future, and with the exception of my occasional check-ins here at Avalon, I no longer bother. I've even deleted most of my bookmarks to alt sites.

I spend my time now doing things I enjoy, and planning for vacation, and where I will spend the holidays, working on hobbies, and what I will be putting in the garden next spring. Anything but worrying about "whatever" it is just over the horizon.

Why the change in perspective? Is it because I am where the universe intended me to be, or is it simply that I've reached my limit on the amount of junk that I can process (admit it...95% of everything you see in the alt community is nonsense and a waste of time)

Either way, I am happy, and choose to enjoy life. When "whatever" comes, I will have fond memories of the time before, not regrets that I spent my time worrying.

Am I doing what I was sent here to do? I think so.

Am I doing enough? Again, I think so. I have a socially responsible job, I provide for my family, and I help those around me who need it.

Surf's up!!!

[Cjay]

Do I know why I am here? Yes. Thanks, in part, to a thread in this forum asking "why are you here?"

Am I doing what I came here to do? Yes. I am not quite ready to make a public announcement but the Melbourne (Australia) Avalonians know a lot about the five (or more) inter-related projects. The projects are good for the Earth and good for humanity.

Am I doing enough? Not yet but a large team is assembling and mind-bogglingly large amounts of money are being made available to assist.

Stay tuned...

[Laura Elina]

I know I'm here, because I have a profound love for Earth (and not only because of its exquisite beauty), but because of humanity, there are some great things in storage for the human kind, (and perhaps some devastating things as well, but like they ask... How do you eat an elephant? A bite by bite).

I wanna take that ride, I have a lot invested here (I am quite sentimental and get attached, which are some of my downfalls), there is nothing like being on a planet that is about to experience a renaissance, it will be a proud moment and quite emotional, when we recognize ourselves in the mirror, the about to part will take some heavy midwifing from all of us, the glory of humans will lie in our ability to preserve the planet for the children of tomorrow (and I ain't coming back to a dusty planet, lol. Just kidding, I would and I will). It will take time and it might feel like you're digging a ditch across the country, but it's worth it.

* I know what I'm supposed to do this time around and a part of it I've done... And the rest I'm afraid to do (my husband is hounding me for it, it's about finishing a book), I believe the way I phrased it in my book was that "I'm not a person, I'm just an impersonator", I do hold myself back (has a lot to do with the life I had before this one). A work in progress

* I am barely doing enough, guilty as charged.

To Lone Bean (and everyone else including myself): You are the earth changing prediction waiting to come true.

Much love,

Laura

[Kindred]

I'm particularly drawn to the sailing analogy. We ARE the Crew of Starship Earth. She's a Beautiful and Amazing Ship of State. We have only to look after Her well-being, and she will look after ours.

Our rulers have done terrible misdeeds to her, using Us as their pawns in their game of self-aggrandizement, and Gaia's destruction. We've blindly followed them, our minds twisted and turned by them in innumerable ways so as to keep us distracted from Reality and the well-being of our Mother.

It's Time for us to Grow Up and show our Mother the Love and Reverence She is well deserving of.

I recently wrote a piece using this same sailing analogy... here's the link:

I just finished writing a story of what we are here to do and as I moved the mouse to post...

the machine restarted for an update...

I guess it's a little to early to say...


I am glad looking around seeing the faces of all who have joined us for this roller coaster ride...


looks up at the crows nest and see Bill's grin under his Hat...

[Lifebringer]

I came today to ask everyone to focus healing energy on Robin Roberts who underwent a bone marrow transplant. She's a good fun loving soul that has always been respectful and truthful in reporting. We need more like her and I hope everyone here sends her love and healing light during this time for her.



Thank you.
PS for those who don't know her name, she is the Good Morning America Host and she's African American, I believe the only one, but either way, please pray.
