Here and Now...What's Happening?

[araucaria]

Do like me, Calz. Pretend.




Major fault of mine ... that being honesty.

Has not worked out well in my lifetime ... but I *really* believe that thangs are a changin'

I thought it was liars who kept saying 'I don't recall', 'I've forgotten', 'I can't remember' :)


I have *no* idea ... :noidea:

(or if I do then I've forgotten) :tsk:

Memories get distorted at each telling (or not), but I agree, it certainly helps to stick with the way it happened rather than the myriad ways it didn't happen. The lie is different at every level!

The flowers had just been brought into the room by my husband as a birthday gift...
and totally drew my mind away from that other meandering and back to my own here and now
Which happens to be a glorious day.
If more people did that perhaps that whole gun debate might evaporate as a non issue.

Hope I didn't spoil your moment than, have a great day and a happy birthday Ulli :kiss:

Love,
Paula :wave:


I killed my dog, almost!

Making excuses for not taking him out on his evening walks(as the sun goes down)!

As I approach 62, it is essay to make more excuses.


Let it be said, he keeps me young. As Ulli said Here and Now! Today was a beautiful day here in Kentucky, USA. Tempuretures about 35 degrees in winter.

We are blessed to live on a golf course. No, we are not rich! My wife and I live on disability. But it is a beautiful setting, one mile from town.

Any way, I let the dog(Copper) go for a cuople of weeks without his walk. He came to me every day wanting his walk. What I am saying is, I don't want to kill the sprit of my dog. He lifts me up, in all my trials and efforts.

Paula, that beautiful artwork of yours reminds me that this year I finally made some huge ice-candles, (or ice candle-holders, really.) I made 2 kinds:
one had layers of red and white ice (pour a layer, wait for freeze, pour a layer... adding a plastic cup before pouring the last two layers makes a hole for the candle to sit in - remove after final freeze), making 5-gallon bucket sized "candy canes", and the other style was made by filling 5-gallon buckets with water, waiting 18 hours; then inverting, breaking through the top, and pouring out the water. This leaves a shell of ice into which a candle is placed.

Candy canes? I have a 13-year old daughter, and it added whimsy.

The hollow ones are really cool, sort of a blend of something elegant and organic, especially as the ice cracks, partially melts, and refreezes.

Now that is something easier to make in Duluth, MN than in Costa Rica!

May you have a billion more, in health and happiness (if you want) !

Happy Birthday, Playdo

[Eram]

The device 'interferes in each field UNEQUALLY, due to it's component types AND it's construction. Which leads to a resonance state, in the unequally flowing fields. the less turns in a coil, the higher the frequency. The less turns, the lower the electrical and magnetic mass.

the addition of the magnet, across an arc, creates the necessary coupling mass to create a resonance in the fields which has a high enough mass that we can get what we call 'work' or energy from the pair..whereas it would normally be a very tiny and immeasurably small resonance, with just the two coils alone. the dimple in the fields is fairly big, due to the presence of the magnet. yet the wire retains it's low inductive mass, regarding the flow in it, in some critical ways (3d fields and so on) the arc aspect of the magnet ALSO creates the egress part of the flow to occur, as the field propagation in the coil is now unequal due to the arc characteristic. the arc is also critical.
This description seems to cry out for pictures ... a 3D dynamic model of the various fields and such, ideally interactive and modifiable.

That would be a tough one, as we are only now getting to the point where we can image accurately, the flow of an atom.

But, it is interesting to note that the computing power to do so, was finally committed to,and we did it. The deal being that we finally found a programming shortcut, that knocked the required data rates down by a factor of a few number of magnitudes, like a thousand times less calculations required. I'd have to find that article again.....it was about the mathematics of prediction and how we found out a short cut round the older method of brute force and ignorance.

I can visualize it, which is how I manage to 'get there'..but the modelling is a pretty big trick. It's multiple plasma or quantum flows of complex fields and their dynamic integration.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamics

It is possible to see or understand cooper paired atomic structures..as ...dimensional fulcrums.

http://images.yourdictionary.com/images/science/ASfulcru.jpg

Which is why the light speed or propagation speed went toward infinity in this silver material, but seemingly..very little information passed through. yet..it is still there... like that of superconductors in the singular plane, one might say. I mentioned in other places that my understanding is that in a superconductor, with near perfect or perfect zero resistance of electron flow...that time is uniform. Here, light speed is 'violated'. Near infinitely so.

Light hits near infinite speed in silver-coated glass


A nano-sized bar of glass encased in silver allows visible light to pass through at near infinite speed. The technique may spur advances in optical computing.

Metamaterials are synthetic materials with properties not found in nature. Metal and glass have been combined in previous metamaterials to bend light backwards or to make invisibility cloaks. These materials achieve their bizarre effects by manipulating the refractive index, a measure of how much a substance alters light's course and speed.

In a vacuum the refractive index is 1, and the speed of light cannot break Einstein's universal limit of 300,000 kilometres per second. Normal materials have positive indexes, and they transmit at the speed of light in a vacuum divided by their refractive index. Ordinary glass, for instance, has an index of about 1.5, so light moves through it at about 200,000 kilometres per second.
No threat to Einstein

The new material contains a nano-scale structure that guides light waves through the metal-coated glass. It is the first with a refractive index below 0.1, which means that light passes through it at almost infinite speed, says Albert Polman at the FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. But the speed of light has not, technically, been broken. The wave is moving quickly, but its "group velocity" – the speed at which information is travelling – is near zero.

As a feat of pure research, Polman's group did a great job in demonstrating the exotic features of low-index materials, says Wenshan Cai of the Georgia Institute of Technology, who was not involved in the work.

Practical applications might also be in the offing. The metal component that reduces the refractive index also increases absorption, so the light can't travel far, says Polman. Still, the material could be used to transmit light rapidly over the very short distances in optical integrated circuits, he says.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23050-light-hits-near-infinite-speed-in-silvercoated-glass.html

I'll probably cross post this one into that other thread...

To explain a bit:

The wave is moving quickly, but its "group velocity" – the speed at which information is travelling – is near zero.

Like that of the fulcrum. Almost zero motion, but it is an energetic fulcrum, of sorts. information gets through, but has seemingly no motion, at this translation or transition or dimensional barrier transfer-translation point. Like the lack of motion in materials chilled to absolute zero...like superconductors, or lack of time, or, this nano particle covered with silver, in the article. NEAR zero 'information' is passed through, but it passes nonetheless. What they mean is the fluctuations are squeezed to a near zero, and in consequence, the acceleration moves to near infinity.

The 'change' in the energy or vibration, as it moves into the silver based material, would be like this pair of atomic structures, idealized graphically, as they move into the cooper paired state.

The fields in the magnetic/coil devices, doe the same. the act of the arrangement being like a gate or fulcrum for the highly pressurized or high energy state '3d linear time fields' and the fundamental dimensional energies that it is all made up of, the underlying dimensional fabric, which works at above light speed. And beyond. The magnetic coil device is like a 'drain spiral' that the highly pressurized materials are both enabled to transfer energy through at the same time they are the the source of the resonant oscillation. the pressures are everywhere and in everything, so the object emerges into a constant flow of sub and super light speed resonant oscillation.

In the image, it is like the peak energies are like the fulcrum of dimensional shift of the two integrations..and then beyond it normalizes..but in a flow state. As it comes into it... in a pressurized flow state. (multiple energetic field types are present, ie dark matter and linear 3d recognition and flow - of their companion/related energetics)

The resonance point IS the fluid field state of the solid object, it is the fulcrum and the gate, all at the same time.

http://www.phy.cam.ac.uk/research/qm/qmpictures/cooperpwave.jpg


here's another visual descriptor.

taking a wooden ruler and anchoring it on a table. then flick the ruler and you get an oscillation that has a sound.


http://www.phonografik.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1127.jpg

As it is vibrating, move the ruler backward. the edge of the table is the 'fulcrum', one might say,and the anchored end is the other and or termination point. The other or complementary energy state. As you move the ruler backward, the edge of the table and the shortening of the exposed end of the ruler, as a set of conditions... cause the free end of the ruler... those oscillations decrease in amplitude, at the same time the frequency goes up.

The energies have been converted from amplitude (peak motional swings) to higher frequency, with short motional swings.

The similar thing happens here. The amplitude is squeezed, and the acceleration goes up, in this case. It is also that the anchor point, the screws in the below visual example, are also directly involved. One end of the situation is anchored or near motionless (dark matter), the other end is all vibration (normal energetic Einstein space), and it is controlled by the edge position of the wood and the anchor point (screws) as a pair of conditions. (which is represented by the entire over unity device) (we get a protrusion, a result of this effect into our universe of 3d time-space, and that is the energies that we recognize as current and voltage.)

Newton use the formula F=M/A, and it sort of applies here as a quantum dimensional transfer equivalency (in formula type) (Force - equals - Mass as divided by Acceleration). the trick is that the fields are unequal in intensity, the systems are unidirectional from the given viewpoint or 3d linear time reality, and they are in perpetual flow and motion/oscillation, as a balanced but slightly offset pairing. Dark matter and 3d linear matter. dark matter being the screws (completely different energy state), the edge of the table and the over unity device each being the fulcrum/oscillator/enabler/drain/flow/translation point.

And add into all of this, this energetic system is also elastic - resonant. think two vibrating fists facing one another-pressured together, two streams colliding in their oscillating flow. a vortex created of two 2-d oscillation fields meeting each other, and this becomes the 'particle' in the world of quantum function. We see only the outside vortex, with our linear time and space existence. the inner one is there, unseen or unnoticed. The difference between each paired vortex or particle being time and space. That our existence, this linear 3d world is wave-particle function. It is an offset viewing position... of what the truth actually is.

This is part of why Richard Feynman spoke of the dark matter that is occupying an empty 8 ounce glass, as being, in conventional energy analysis....as being enough to boil all the world's oceans.

BTW, this also involves the philosopher's stone and it's capacity to connect people to other dimensions. And to grant the wizard seeming unimaginable powers of dimensional and energetic manipulation. Doyle Noyes comes to mind.

Thus, the energy egress and resonance in this small over unity device works. The pressures are THAT high and THAT intense.

Now, maybe, one can see why extreme caution is the byword.

One cup of empty space, boil all the world's oceans.

Edit!

One cubic meter. I thought I might have had that wrong. One cubic meter of space, boil all the world's oceans. Not a biggie to me, the energy equivalence is the same to me---huge.

In a restaurant, (Italian, of course) having lunch, and enjoying the party the Villagers are having on this double birthday occasion.
Did I mention before that I love virtual parties? Less noise, more spirit. Great videos.

aw man, now you got me thinking there's something to that ulli...my initial thoughts were this is the friggin' typewriter thing on W's military service that got Brokaw (or whoever, it's been awhile) fired. In the sense that it's kinda provable (should be EASILY provable), but who the eff will believe it so we'll put it out there for media consumption, so the waters are properly muddied...in the end, even if it is real and proven, the "common knowledge" becomes it's just an everyday google glitch even if (when) the gun is smokin' right in front of our eyes.

Would be nice to NOT have another JFK/Waco/OKC/911 "mystery"...you think in this day and age even with the tech that is released to us consumers, we could legit investigations and undeniable evidence...I dunno, "they" seemed to have mastered the art of confusing the sheep.

ANGEL NUMBER 444

Number 4 resonates with the vibrations of the Archangels, practicality and responsibility, productivity, illumination and initiation, building solid foundations, stability and ability, honesty and inner-wisdom, determination and endurance, hard work and progress. Number 4 also represents our passion and drive and encourages us to work harmoniously yet diligently to achieve our goals and aspirations. Number 4 is also the number that represents the four elements of Air, Fire, Water and Earth, and the four sacred directions, North, South, East and West. With three 4’s appearing, the influences and energies of the number 4 are magnified and enhanced.

Angel Number 444 asks that you pay attention to your intuition and inner-wisdom as your connection with your angels and the angelic realm is very strong at this time. You are encouraged to continue on your current path as your drive and determination will lead to success and fulfilment.

Angel Number 444 is a message that the angels and Archangels are with you, encouraging and guiding you. They are offering you positive energies, inner-strength and
support to enable you to get the work done that you need to. They know and understand that you have been toiling diligently towards your goals, and encourage you to continue on your current path to achieve the success and results you desire. Use your strong connection with the angelic realm to your benefit and be open to their promptings and messages. Listen to your intuition and follow its guidance.

Angel Number 444 is a message that you have nothing to fear in regards to your life, work and Divine life purpose and soul mission. When you take positive action towards your highest intentions, aspirations and goals, the Universe works in your favour and helps you to establish solid foundations and advance you along your path. Know that the angels surround and support you, encouraging you to keep up the good work you have been doing.

The repeating Angel Number 444 is a message that ‘all is well’. Trust that you are on your correct life path and are doing a great job. The angels and Archangels are available for help and guidance - all you need to do is ask.

Number 444 relates to number 3 (4+4+4=12, 1+2=3) and Angel Number 3.

Thank you for that, eaglespirit.
And throughout the day there have been synchronicities regarding Archangels.
But the weirdest thing is that I would normally not even have noticed a post number, while copy-pasting the link to it, and then still later remembered it, since I have suffer from short-term memory loss.
But obviously not in this case. Something has been tweaking my number neurons.

Thank you for this, Skippy. Weird feeling while watching it. Most of those people were from my generation, too.
Playdo might relate even more to this than I...he speaks German as well...so we not only share the same birthday, but have the same cultural roots. But I think he has a stronger connection than I do. Meanwhile I always felt I didn't belong there and could hardly wait to move away. Had no desire to return during the last 45 years. My Costa Rican shrink is trying to make me get back in touch with my roots, thinks my rejection is something unhealthy.
She would be amazed now if I told her that I'm getting help from my forum, which I have told her about...she is aware how much you all mean to me. She is worried about me and how would I cope if something were to happen to the Internet, since I depend so much on it. Stuff to ponder here.

I don’t know if Bill’s presence would be a death knell for this thread, His Heads up thread has gone off into unexpected places since his early posts. I want to know why he isn’t being given a second chance! Mods please reverse this decision ASAP.



Ok, ok, let's keep the Mods out of this.
As thread owner I can reverse the decision, and am inclined to do so, just for you.
Because you sent a beautiful post card from France.

Can't guarantee that Bill won't regret it, though.

I reversed the decision to ban Bill, just to keep araucaria happy.
That is ages ago.
Come back, Bill.
I was joking, Bill.

Good luck! What's more, it's mostly written in code. (Hehe...)

Hi Ulli,

The moon and Venus
19981

Another strong powerful night in the forest. Very revealing, I'm surrounded again.
Beautiful clear cold winter sky. The stars are bright and the Milky Way path is clearly defined. The stars look so close that it feels like they are falling all at once.


Love

Is this Moon-Venus conjunction/ eclipse today? I haven't checked yet. Wow picture...how come Venus looks bigger than the Moon?

Edit: the moon today is in Sagittarius, and Venus has just entered Capricorn. The moon will be conjunct Venus tomorrow.
But Mercury is now at 13'55 Cap, forming a trine angle with my natal moon...
Angles like that happening on one's solar return mean that the whole year ahead will be a happy one.


19985
It's the moon alongside of Venus during the Venus transit last year. I thought it was an awesome picture so I posted it.

Whether the kids were kidnapped, or those families are all safe, and were just moved to other states, after helping with the false flag exercise, we don't know. But I'd love to know what all of that was really about.

In one respect, this Sandy Hook event served to strengthen my commitment to tap into inner reserves of Light that I knew I had, but didn't know how to access. (Which I shared in another post.) Too, I needed to dial up my awareness to the other gifts that are all around us. Which include increased sun activity, subtle vibrations from Mother Earth, and link into other powerful others such as all Avalonians, Co-creators of Light. Even from the sleepy ones out there, they’re powerful Light sources that are greater than any of the dark ones at full-throttle. They just need to REmember. The more of us power-up, we’ll awaken the sleepy-heads, and kick a$$ just by Being Light.

I’m hitting speed bumps but the comeback is quicker than it’s ever been. I’ve said there are no chemtrails where I live. Wolfie took me for a walk yesterday and there were about six trails three miles away.

My ex-hubby stopped for a visit this past weekend. Half hour into topics like 2nd amendment and Agenda 21, the phone rings. Ex-hubby suggested to check because it kept ringing. The caller id read, “Washington”. Coincidence, yes, though I never got a call from Washington before.

I just learned this morning that my nephew died. He was a navy seal and only 30 years old. It only said that he died unexpectedly on Monday. I asked at Christmas how he was because I’ve been thinking about him and he’s been in my dreams. I learned that he was not adjusting to civilian life.

For the last 20 years, I’ve lost count of how many students, colleagues, and administrators and/or their families that have died of rare diseases in their community, including three of my own students. And there’s been a quickening to the death toll in the last five years.

I refuse to loose sight that the dark ones are loosing oomph. That’s why they’re ramping up ideas from worn out ideas from yester-year’s history books. Copy-cats. Mimics. That’s the best they’ve got. Non-creative juices. No Light. And Dead without Us in fear. We turn fear into action. What’ve we got? Each other, the All - We are the solution.

I say....get your energizer bunny on.

One can see by that puny bush, he didn't use miracle grow.
It woulda been well over 6 1/5 - 7 feet tall and hearty.
That's just an educated guess of course.

We had my wife's side of the family meet at our house for an after Christmas get-together, and these were just something to add some charm to the bleak midwinter landscape.

One last whimsical one, then a serious one:

Pretty solid evidence that the critters like my back yard. Mostly rabbit and squirrel tracks, (deer tracks to the left and right outside this picture.) The voles tunnel under the snow and are more subtle, but the raptors occasionally dive down and snatch one.

Oh NO! I just came across this:

Ummm, I like your backyard too Dennis. I must be a critter.

[donk]

Thank you so much eaglespirit, great message to hear.



Here and now I was wondering: what is the purpose of your presense?

The proverbial "you", the "royal you"...


Gotta say, thinking about the 444 post makes me feel like I'm on the right track with my current path

...or maybe ego kicking in?

All I know is that my current path is to ask myself that question every single here & now. It seems to be working out.

[Dennis Leahy]

Serious one, to my metaphysician friends:

My sister-in-law, Besty, is having surgery tomorrow. They are removing a section of her colon. Serious stuff - they are keeping her in the hospital for a week. If you know anything about modern insurance companies, almost no one stays in the hospital that long after surgery, that's one indication.

She's just a kid, in her early 40's, and if all does not go well, she will have a colostomy bag for life. She's a typically vibrant, alive, very loving and compassionate person - mom and foster mom.

In letting her know that I would pray for her (code for sending healing, from Source), I asked if it was OK if I would ask a group of metaphysicians to do the same and she said, "Great!"

So, I am asking you to hold her in your thoughts tomorrow, Jan 10th, as this is the initial surgery. I'm thinking more along the lines of advance healing, so that the surgeon sees healing transpiring when he or she goes in (rather than just healing up quickly and without need of a colostomy bag after the surgery.) So, use your own ways, your own techniques, but please consider this as a true "here and now" request for healing energies to be directed to Betsy.

Thanks.

I love you. :~)

Will do Dennis, what time? Sorry she has to go through that.

Right here & now though, I just remembered a friend posted this on FB, a synchronistic reminder of the prayer we recited with one of my favorite teachers (9th grade bio):

I pass through this world but once
If there is any good that I can do
Any kindness I can show to any human being
Let me do it now
For I shall not pass this way again.

[donk]

That ain't simple for me...my ego never seems to wanna listen. That's why I got ask directly: what is the purpose of your presence?

I might be stuck in some sort of loop. But like ulli said about the quasi-co-dependency: I like it

[RunningDeer]

I send the Highest and Best to Lady Betsy,
and ask that She continue to be open to receive it;
along with Love and Healing to All that assist Her.

Peace and Love,
Paula

Yipes, Donk! Just addressing this sentence above that has two parts: Not simple and never listens.

No, it's not simple for you and no, it never listens for you. Why? It's been programed by you to do exactly as you requested. See how powerful you are? Mind can be a powerful healer or powerful trickster.

Though, it's all good news, because you are the Creator. My Silva Mind Control teacher taught us back in 1972, when you are aware of a negative program say, "cancel, cancel," just like one would do with a computer.

Today, we say delete, delete. http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/delete2-smiley.gif?1292867581

That's all it is. Reprograming. It's just that simple. A simple choice to change (it).

Hearts,
WhiteCrowBlackDeerPaula, You have my permission to bring it up again - and again - if you see some stumbling block in me. (I'll bet donk will say the same.)

I think the reluctance to speak up is a behavior learned from dealing with many people in our lives that were not receptive. But I know I am (and strongly sense others here are) open to listen to your advice - even if 'unsolicited' - much more than the general population. You are obviously in no danger of the opposite - of overflowing with advice for everyone and everything - so allow me to be vulnerable with you. I'll let you know if that ever needs to be retracted.

I have a lot of learning and growing and experiencing to do, and if anyone sees a stumbling block or pothole in the road ahead of me (especially if I put it there), please let me know.

Some things are worth repeating over and over,
especially if they are life-changing and empowering truths
that the media normally avoid spreading.
Reprogramming one's subconscious is a great past-time.

Very cold on the mountain tonight have a good hot fire in the wood burning stove.

A cold clear light mist has crept in through the windless forest. Quiet and the creatures
of the forest are silent. Walked around for a while with my dogs looking at the beautiful
starred filled night and to the southwest over the ridge there was a peculiar site. Flamed smokey
fingers fanned out up to the sky and slowly dissipated turning into a formed clear gel silhoulette.

PS: From the serial "evrything we really need (http://www.privacysos.org/node/928)"

[modwiz]

Hard to know what to think anymore...crisis actors, fundraisers and tributes planned in advance plus all the unanswered questions. They've gotten sloppier and sloppier with each event...simple oversights or deliberate or both?

100% deliberate. They want those who are actually paying attention to know.

It's so blatant and in your face that only the ones in the deepest sleep could miss this one. Either someone involved wants to wake people up, or they are really that far out of touch with reality.

I smell desperation.

There is also the psy-op aspect for the awake. That would be to make them feel isolated even though they are in a sea of the 99%. Sure we may see it, but how about, your friends, people at the workplace, your family? They want us to feel outnumbered and despair over it. They want to show us how the Matrix is self enforcing. They put up crap and everyone around us defends it. It is desperate on their part, IMO. It's a close one, but I see them losing.

That is my take on the screw ups, IF they are deliberate. I am comfortable with them actually being sloppy and then not worrying about it in the aftermath with the above scenario being the explanation to themselves. Them being cocky is good for the 99%.

I don’t know if Bill’s presence would be a death knell for this thread, His Heads up thread has gone off into unexpected places since his early posts. I want to know why he isn’t being given a second chance! Mods please reverse this decision ASAP.



Ok, ok, let's keep the Mods out of this.
As thread owner I can reverse the decision, and am inclined to do so, just for you.
Because you sent a beautiful post card from France.

Can't guarantee that Bill won't regret it, though.

I reversed the decision to ban Bill, just to keep araucaria happy.
That is ages ago.
Come back, Bill.
I was joking, Bill.
But might take you a while catching up now....
Good luck! What's more, it's mostly written in code. (Hehe...)

All this was very much tongue in cheek on my part too. Remember, back in those days, bannings and appeals to mods were all the rage, which just shows how far the forum has come over the last year.


This thread is in code, i.e. it’s a conspiracy :); but as Bill is a leading conspiracy theorist, he will know where it fits in the overall puzzle – somewhere in what he calls the ‘spiritual conspiracy’ section I have no doubt. Here (sorry, no good at links).

Dennis, I sent (and continue sending) healing energy to Betsy, to the surgeon and surgical team, and to you and the whole family. Paula's purple angel image is wonderful, a good visual to keep in your mind. All are held in a loving embrace today and the coming days.

And to Wilko, loving energy for his highest and best. I can see the kindness in his eyes.

Love to all.

Stepping down, but not stepping out. Dawn, thank you for your tireless devotion towards fairness and respect for everyone's perceptions to Truth. I see where it's both an art and a fine line to balance for the Whole.

Thanks too, for your generous sharing of knowledge on wide range of topics. Some I was unaware of, such as your “Breatharianism, and living on Prana: a how-to guide (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?34696-Breatharianism-and-living-on-Prana-a-how-to-guide&highlight=breatharian)” thread. It’s pique my curiosity, though I'm not ready to commit.

A couple of times, I watched your favorite movie from WhiteFeather’s “Five Star Movies On Avalon (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?49499------Five-Star-Movies-On-Avalon-----&p=549677&viewfull=1#post549677)” thread called: “The Man Who Planted Trees (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?49499------Five-Star-Movies-On-Avalon-----&p=549996&viewfull=1#post549996)”. It’s another example of something I wouldn’t have found. It’s now on my top 5 movies list.

Stepping down, but not stepping out. Whew, likin' that you are still here. :wave:

Gooooooooood Morning :)

All my babies are neatly tucked in at school. Ahhhhhhhhh. My nerves are shot, emotions raw. And my sense of relief is through the roof.

Lord (Whoever), please be with Mrs. Hamm today, that she have wisdom and compassion with this little soul entrusted to her. He needs a place in this world to call his own, where he belongs and is safe, where he is nurtured and discovers the joy of learning, where he makes friends who know alternatives to bullying, where the adults instill respect and manners, where the big people see the importance of self-discipline rather than punishment, where he can thrive.

Angels, please disburse to those in sorrow, in ill health, that they may feel your comfort, love, and healing on all levels and for the highest good of All.

Now. I have so many things to do, I doubt I can count them. It would take me longer to count to a kazillion than carry out the kazillion tasks. Here and Now, right this moment, I am going to sit my butt on the couch and not move. I'm waiting for the repair man to come fix my washer, broken for a week. I could go to the laundromat and get back before he comes...or I could just wait. I choose....sit. Wait. Listen to this silence. Let all my emotions settle. Allow all stress be released, and that nervous energy transmuted into light and beauty.

Here and Now, I sit.

Ahhhhhhhhh.

Much Love,

Rainy day here, when it's supposed to be dry season. Not complaining...we like our grass green.

Was thinking about the predator-prey polarity, and how people who have not found the balance between their inner predator or aggressor and their inner prey, or victim, will always find themselves in situations where such scenarios suddenly pop up in their lives, unsettling them.

Usually it happens with those closest to us, who already know us and some of our otherwise hidden traits, which we normally manage to conceal from strangers. Prejudice is nowhere greater than in marriages, since everyone has some habit they cannot seem to drop, which then gets on the partner's nerves. And if one or the other is picky, then fighting such a habit in the partner can become like a Chinese water torture.

This is why I advocate giving one another space, practicing tolerance, allowing people to be who they are, and where they are....since it could take them years to get rid of their minor habitual flaws.

Sooner or later a planetary transit will occur which will then open an inter-dimensional star gate and produce someone who will deal mercilessly with them, and challenge them to drop their flaw, or else.

But at least it won't be me. . since it is not my agenda to challenge or change someone...been there, done that...it no workie when I try.
Don't want to be neither a predator, nor a victim. Just want to share, and if someone can relate and take from it what they find useful, then great.

WCBD, this is what I also see you doing, and even if there is some useful advice in the mix it is fine by me. So please don't worry about sharing your knowledge here. At least you are not doing it in any predatorial manner.

The more us Villagers are aligned in our commitment to pour out our inner stuff without dumping it on others in a forceful manner the more effective we will become in harnessing and redirecting powerful cosmic energies.

Sounds a bit woohoo, I know, but I have seen and felt it work.

[donk]

Wow ulli, needed that. I had just banged out an email to my girl's sister, stanging up to her bullying and abuse...and letting her know how it's twisting her up, as she loves her family so much.

I was debating sending it directly to her, a semi-selfish act...choosing to protect my woman, cuz I feel the need to--that it is the best decision--regardless of her view and feelings.

You reminded me that the part of this nonsense that effects me (it's my babe, not me, being directly hurt/attacked by those she loves) is nowhere near the effect on her, so I will emulate WCBD (nothing but love and respect girl :o) and ask her if I should be dropping my reality on her sis.

I think all of this directly ties into what modwiz was saying too. If we did not live in a culture immersed in nearly every relationship having at least a small element of abuse/control/power trip, life would be much easier. I wish the "default" within society was that OTHER people's feelings were more important than BEING RIGHT...alas, it seems to be the other way around...

Donk, choosing to protect your woman....
The primary male urge. Wars have been started as a result of this.
Situations between siblings can be extra tricky, and usually go back to early childhood patterns which a latecomer like you has no knowledge of.
There might have been rivalries for daddy's love...all sorts of things.

You might be better off by strengthening your woman to stand up for herself, and start addressing her old childhood stuff, than tackling her sister. Please note the word "might", I don't have enough background to assess the big picture properly, but from my experience if one feels the need to interfere at all, it needs to be done in tiny measure, and the closer to home the better.
Maybe your girl felt all her life that daddy wasn't being protective enough, and now the force field which her old childhood needs have generated over the years are sucking you in, and it might not be the best or the only way. Just saying.

I passed on the 2 videos you posted of this young woman (Erin Janus) to my 13-year old daughter. She may have an easier time accepting some of the same things I tell her, when it comes from someone a whole lot closer to her age. Thanks for posting them, Paula.

Bacteria on a human body talks to each other, apparently.
Princeton University microbiologist found out.

http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/biology/sciencenow-profile-bonnie-bassler.html

All bacteria anywhere can talk to each other. They are basically one organism and they can share DNA through their morphogenetic field to become whatever bacteria will benefit from the environment. The beauty of this is that generally bacteria are doing an enormous service to the planet. Bacteria are often in symbiosis with their environment. Life, as we know it, is dependent on bacteria for existence.

The microbiologist speaks of a chemical language. That is the energy trail. The way neurochemicals are trails of feelings and consciousness.

Precious gift for your daughter...

Positive role models for our youth are priceless. Erin Janus has the potential to awaken those on the cusp and more. (yeah to 100th monkey) It’s easy to see that she is a natural teacher, who has the gift to translate and inform.

My first semester at college I was a single parent who’d been out of high school for years and going through a divorce. The stress made it hard to concentrate on biology concepts like photosynthesis. So I went to the children's section on campus and followed the pictures and simple sentences and vocabulary. I only needed that one children's book. Just knowing there was a place to go, cleared the space in my head to get on with the newness of college.

We can use more Erin(s) in this simple world made complicate by TPTW. http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/yapyapyap-smiley.gif (http://emoticoner.com)

You might be better off by strengthening your woman to stand up for herself, and start addressing her old childhood stuff,

That's the route I chose...once I looked at my post in/from the here & now (& before seeing you write exactly what I thought). Seems we've been on the same wavelength lately....must have been the braclet ;)



WCBD: can't thank you enough for the video, nice to be able to share that wisdom through someone she can relate to...good stuff!

When I was a young mother struggling to be a good parent, the neighborhood "Gramma" offered the following advice, "Relax. All children need are roots and wings...give them those and you will have done your job well." Just talked to my daughter about this very thing yesterday...

Here and now, I am the proud (but somewhat embarrassed) winner of Ulli's Ebay auction for a necklace and earrings.

No, I'm not embarrassed because I have no holes in my ears, my Swiss Army Knife will make quick work of that minor detail. I'm embarrassed because I should have used the "buy it now" and just purchased the set for the (underpriced) fixed fee. I paid too little. Not fair to Ulli.

I meant to come back on here and tease a few of you into having a bidding war, but I was off at my daughter's school...

Oh well, what can I say but "thank you, Ulli!" My wife will love the set!

Oh my gosh, Belle, do you suppose that is all it takes? Because I can do that. I guess that would mean my expectations for myself are too high. Little One's first day of pre-K at the "big kids" school was fantastic. He loves the school. Em came home with a flute yesterday, and is playing with a beautiful tone today. This is, what, her fifth instrument? And M came home all giggly because Ivan held her hand today...well, kind of...well, he brushed her hand with his. And I'm really tired, but a good tired.

Truly, I can't remember the last time everyone came home happy, and it feels like I just released a muscle that has been tensed up for too long.

I am sooooo grateful.

You know what else this means? It means that I also know that someone has been sending loving thoughts my way. Actually, not A someone, but many someones...I bet a village full.

I am sooooo grateful.

Ahh.

Much Love,

My idea about parenting was even simpler....simply made sure he didn't kill himself.
The rest would unfold all by itself, nature's way. But others, including my ex, thought I wasn't doing enough fussing....
Kids have a natural curiosity...and I never stifled that with heavy-handedness.
I still believe education should just be to teach them to read and write and then give them the Internet.
They will educate themselves, according to the interests which motivate them.

So, yes, I consider it is true that you have high expectations on yourself,
and that it might be a good idea to relax a bit.

But then again, that may not be in your nature. Cancerians like to fuss and worry.
Maternal instinct.

Taken from my much beloved and well-worn book "The Prophet", Kahlil Gibran...


On Children
by Kahlil Gibran


Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you.



You may give them your love but not your thoughts.

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.



You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Of course you can do it! You're a good Mom...Someday, I hope to be as wise - and succinct! - as that grandma. For now, I expanded her words to:

"Roots" - a sense of connection, grounding, family, heritage, belonging to the Earth, true history, unconditional love

"Wings" - freedom, choices, encouragement, empowerment, self-worth, self-confidence, sense of wonder and awe, basic life skills (healthy nutrition, healthy communication, healthy relationships...mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health foundation)

In both "roots" and "wings", a non-codependent passing on of the skillset, passing the flame from torch to torch, teaching/mentoring with the full intent to allow the fledgling to: fledge, stumble, fall, get up, and fly. Goal: healthy independence.

...aw, I like grandma's version better. :~)

Another odd-anomalous form experience

A couple of days ago in the afternoon I was standing on my front porch looking East at the mountains. At about 30 degrees up and half way between me and the mountain I saw two wave form patterns.
They were parallel-perpendicular formed to each other. One of them faced me West(at 3:00 o'clock) the other faced south (at 12:00 o'clock). They were both rectangular and inside of them were these waves, oscillating and moving in a singular wave pattern, West (facing) rectangle wave was flowing down, the South (facing) rectangle was flowing up, reminded of something out of the beginning credits of the show The Outer Limits.

Both structures were clear in energy, and it looked as though someone had taken a couple of chunks out of 2 separate ley lines and then spliced them into the electromagnetic field.
The rectangles looked like they could be 3 to 5 dimensions so there was angle and depth to them.


Here are some pictures to illustrate

They were definitely not water energy lines or water sound energy lines -they were not linear or close to the ground. But they did have the appearance of 2 clear almost watery wave energy windows or doors stuck together and suspended in space, but not naturally so.

Just remembered this: my gf woke me in the middle of the night, maybe 3am, to tell me a giraffe came by. It wasn't alone, many beings about, as has been the situation lately, apparently (still as insensitive as bucket of hammers), as my first question was "just a giraffe?"

Guess my mindset was, well...could be worse, we got shadow dude and smokey restless ones and angry-ish dad, plus lately she says she thinks the whole neighborhoods been swinging through, that either she's getting more sensitive or outsiders beyond the three residents--angry dad, teen girl, small boy, the shadow dude from attic/grove, and ever since she poked her head in attic like a quick restless swirl of smokey spirits roll around...that was "normal" as I understand it.

So the last few weeks, especially this past weekend, she's been telling me that our rooms been like grand central station, she notices the most when she is dolling up in front of the vanity, they seem to breeze through and she watches them in the mirror. This is even day time and duskish especially. But she always handles her ****, and keeps the fear levels down, as it is early (before she starts drinking).

At night she gets scared, drinking or not. Think the shadow dude messes with her a lot. Know there's somebody that jumps in or takes her away when she reaches point of emotional breakdown (on days when 3D drama is high, lot of that going on w her good friend cuzzie having masectomy and her family just being typical misdle class abusive un self aware & generally miserable,'taking it out on her).

Jeez sorry, lotta background...the point: she made it seem like she thought the giraffe was her cuzzie. She was fairly certain it was her (if I understood correctly in my delerious sleepy state)...I asked her why, and she tells me "cuz she told me". Apparently I fell back asleep, and said "god said everything is ok, so I went back to sleep".

I'm not sure if she meant cuzzie told her god said that, or that god is directly speaking to her now. I'll uave to ask when I get a chance, just wanted to document it now to see how my memory compares to hers...

[donk]

My takeaway from the whole night was that I didn't ask what giraffe looked like, just asked who else was around.

The other part she told me this morn: in my sleep, I popped up, looked toward the bathroom (where she saw shadowy being...as she was awake checking it out) and said something to/about it...I can't remember.

Anyway, maybe it means I am getting more sensitive.

Also, anybody know anything about people manifesting as animals (giraffes) in their astral bodies?

Hi Nora, Thank You for sharing...I have been experiencing similar patterns in the skies time and again.

I am working on the other matters from pm's too...we shall see what unfolds.

Here and now moments stretched out over four seasons:

I had no idea my old buddy Wilko Johnson had become so famous.
The news of his pancreatic cancer made it to the top headline at Yahoo just now.
Or is that because the news are tailored to my needs, i.e., by the fact that I googled him yesterday?

Whatever, he is still on my prayer list. As is Dennis' sister-in-law.

And Donk, your girl needs to decide what she wants.
A life with phantoms hovering around, or one without those distractions.
It's a matter of choice and preference.
The drinking will attract them, as the spirit in alcohol always works like a magnet to anything
else that is lost in the spirit world.
If I needed to attract spirits, I would definitely opt for those that are more advanced than I am,
so that I can get some help and guidance.

[donk]

Agreed, thanks.

The baby steps are getting a little bit longer every day. Soon enough we'll get out of the denial (hopefully).

She makes more decisions every here & now, takes a little tiny slice more of personal responsibility.

I find it is like in my life, the more you learn and grow, the more challenges you attract.

My focus has been to stick in little reminders, point out little things I notice, which prove that the drink is waaaaaay more of handicap than a "crutch"...I appreciate that idea to stick in the toolkit for use at the ideal time

It's such a pain in the ass, but sometimes a blessing, that so many people around us are heavier or more frequent drinkers than her. On one hand she can say, well I'm not as bad -----, and I don't drink EVERY night like -----. But I get to say: ha! Look what happened when ------ got bombed...prob not good idea, eh?

But that's all in its own time, a project for me, I guess--or an aspect of my reality I can't force, I need to slowly coax. In the here and now, I'm apparently surrounded by spirits, that maybe I'm finally getting my baby steps to be bigger. I keep searching and asking for those more intelligent/evolved beings to bring their presence to my awareness, or help guide me toward being able to be more aware.

We had our prime minister Olof Palme shot to death 1986.

Shirley Maclaine meets her future lover, Olof Palme
There is a book, "Coup d’etat in Slow Motion," on the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme.

Its author, Ole Dammegård, was interviewed by Red Ice Radio on January 6, 2012, here (http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2013/01/RIR-130106.php)

I don't see the book for sale on Amazon, but the author does have the book (an English translation) available for free online: Coup d’etat in Slow Motion (pdf; 843 pages) (www.coupdetatinslowmotion.com/CoupDetatInSlowmotion.pdf).

this is about the present, and what tuning into the NOW does for your personal connection with the great universe.

When you have time to spare just click on any random number page and dive in there.
There is little point in reading this thread like a book from cover to cover, as participation will reveal more to you about our unconscious connectedness.
When you begin to trust your intuition enough, then any spontaneous action can become a sign post for a special message for you that is relevant to the current moment in your life. Just feel free.

He was???

I have no recollection whatsoever of doing that.
Why would I do such a thing?
Can you remember in which context?It was, of course, tongue-in-cheek, and a playful way of dealing with all the talk of banning that was going on at that time and just before (I think I was a mod back then, and there was lots of forum talk about banning, lots of energy given to it, but really only a handful of people banned.)

But I'll take this opportunity to say to Bill:

Hey Bill, this thread may be good for the occasional snippet from you about what's going on in your local sphere, without the attendance and follow-up "pressure" of starting a thread.

When I was a young mother struggling to be a good parent, the neighborhood "Gramma" offered the following advice, "Relax. All children need are roots and wings...give them those and you will have done your job well." Just talked to my daughter about this very thing yesterday...

Awesome > Belle, Eaglespirit! You both inspired me to make a little collage with some pics off the web.

Thank you :)

I keep searching and asking for those more intelligent/evolved beings to bring their presence to my awareness, or help guide me toward being able to be more aware.

It’s not the guides job to “help guide me toward being able to be more aware.” The secret to be more aware is more awareness.

Awareness comes from yourself. It’s your life to experience and co-create anyway that you choose. Greater awareness and actions steps increases your Light vibration. How? Through such ways as right thinking, eating, reflection, and decision making.

Higher Light vibration is too much for a body that is not prepared for such intensity. Also, to wait around or spent time in search for guides to help you, that may create a whole new set of problems. Higher Guides do not interfere with your life choices. It’s your journey.

Whereas, lower entities love the idea of you giving over your power to them. If you advertise that you are not worthy or capable of running your show, then expect lower gremlins to burp in your face, yank ya chain, go poke-poke-poke and stick you in a cabbage patch. In contrast, Higher Guides love to cheer those that continue to discover how powerful they are and make empowered decisions on their own.

So, spend time RAISING your vibration rather than “search and ask for those more intelligent/evolved beings to guide you”.

These are some bullet points I’ve posted about my Guides:

- Mostly, they are there for support and encouragement. How I know them to be of the Light is that I only feel their Love. A feeling of Love and Peace washes over me to the point where I sometimes weep.

- When I have doubts about visitors, a command I use: "Only those of Christ Light, and Allness of Everything, are welcome. Show your light or leave now." Even when my Family & Guides come, I ask that they show their Light. Before my thought even begins, they do.

- I use the phrases mentioned above as a double check to make sure I’m not in denial. There were a couple of times in the last six months when guidance didn’t feel pure as I know it to be. When I asked to see the Light, it wasn’t brilliant. Which meant it’s not someone that I choose to accept guidance from. They weren’t negative, just not high enough to allow them to stay. I ask them to please leave and as fast as they came in they left.

Peace to you, Donk,

We had our prime minister Olof Palme shot to death 1986.

Shirley Maclaine meets her future lover, Olof Palme
There is a book, "Coup d’etat in Slow Motion," on the assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme.

Its author, Ole Dammegård, was interviewed by Red Ice Radio on January 6, 2012, here (http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2013/01/RIR-130106.php)

I don't see the book for sale on Amazon, but the author does have the book (an English translation) available for free online: Coup d’etat in Slow Motion (pdf; 843 pages) (www.coupdetatinslowmotion.com/CoupDetatInSlowmotion.pdf).

We received a message from a non-member informing us of this, and stating that the author, Ole Dammegård, is providing the book for free on his website oledammegard.com after being unable to find a publisher. Thanks, anonymous.

Severe coincidence. I am watching (re-watching The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo. Stieg Larsson brings up Olaf Palme continually in his series.

Glad you are here, CdnSirian,

I've got that movie. Shivers. Had to fast forward parts. Loved Dragon Tatoo Lady's creative problem solving abilities, confidence and "here and now" stamina.

Blustery cold stormy night up on the mountain. Threatening to snow. The wind is whisteling down the pipe of the stove and howling through the trees pushing the heavy rain hard against the house. Made a good hot soup and sitting by
a warm fire.

Playdo glad you are safely home.

CndSirian welcome to the hear and now

Paul I thought I was going to have a relaxing evening by the fire, on a stormy night reading part 1 of Lord of the Rings.
But now, going to listen to the interview and begin reading Ole Dammegard's Coup d'état in Slow Motion. Thanks
Thank you for the links.

I want to mention that my sister-in-law, Betsy, made it through the four hour surgery OK, and we got message that all is going according to plan, and that she is in recovery.

Thanks for the healing energies already sent her way, and if you have a moment here and there over the next week, please give her a "booster shot" of healing energy. :~)

Playdo, glad you're on the ground! You are hereby recommended to stay grounded for seven days, except for OBEs.

CdnSirian, yes, reading this thread from the beginning is a near impossible task, (even for speed-readers like Flash), but as Ulli indicates, it is almost all "history" anyway. Kind of like joining a party in progress - you just start here, and now, and...

Dennis, can you briefly explain what is the job description of a mod?

- How long were you one?
- Do you have to train?
- Does it require technological skill/training?
- What kind of time commitment does it take?
- Do mods have a short life span being a mod because of the responsibility to deal with so many personalities?
- What percentage of people would you say didn't respect your decisions? Are they mostly repeat offenders?
- Were there many paid infiltrators on the forum?
- What if you are not interested in a thread, do you still monitor it?
- Did you ever run into a problem with someone that has authority issues?
- Are you expected to log in a certain number of hours?
- How important is it for the community to be a part of reporting of
- Have you ever had to give a 10 day vacation to someone?
- Did the new people stay in close contact with you for support?

Bill may have popped in just to see where he was permanently banned from the thread, way back in the first couple hundred pages, or so.


He was???
By me???
I have no recollection whatsoever of doing that.
Why would I do such a thing?
Can you remember in which context?It was, of course, tongue-in-cheek, and a playful way of dealing with all the talk of banning that was going on at that time and just before (I think I was a mod back then, and there was lots of forum talk about banning, lots of energy given to it, but really only a handful of people banned.)

But I'll take this opportunity to say to Bill:

Hey Bill, this thread may be good for the occasional snippet from you about what's going on in your local sphere, without the attendance and follow-up "pressure" of starting a thread. (This is more casual.) You're a very interesting person (two pots of coffee, at least hahahahah), and it would be good to hear from you in this venue.

Hi Paula,

Will have to try this tomorrow. Getting sleepy around these parts.

I was a mod here for a brief period of time, right after a volcanic eruption on the forum that was the major rift in this forum's history. So, what I dealt with (and it was just for a brief time - then I quit to work on the Reset Button) would not be anything like how the forum is now. My answers will only apply to that period of time (a time of great upheaval.) The turmoil was a combination of real (and ugly) and fabricated/fantasized. It was dramatic, and I probably magnified the drama.

Interesting questions :).


People have been mods for a few weeks to years.
You can go more or less active, or return to normal membership, anytime you want.
Hours are totally at the mods whim, from zero hours to lots (such as myself.)
Mods get to do which ever tasks interest them, and ignore the rest.
The mods mostly communicate via a Skype text chat group, and via posts and threads on specific matters, kept in a sub-forum not visible to others.
Some get more into the technical details of thread and post merging and editing, and some don't.
A major task that involves most mods is reviewing the applications of prospective new members.
A few mods routinely check the Reported posts or incoming email to staff, though more often it is myself checking the Reports, and Ilie checking the email.
No mods have died yet, but I cannot promise eternal life to all past and present mods.
We don't know who's a paid infiltrator -- no one has ever raised their hand and acknowledged being one.
If a mod isn't interested in a thread, or would rather not deal with a member, they let someone else worry about it.

Being a mod is entirely volunteer, so we can only appreciate what mods choose to do, not demand something else or more of them, and it's important to keep the "back room" a pleasant place to drop by.

A major benefit of being a mod is the ongoing contact, on a more frequent basis, with some of the neatest people I've ever known, scattered about the world, of quite diverse natures, but all with considerable talents of one kind or another.

[Calz]

Mods rock ... mostly thankless ... often "worse".

I was asked to be a mod in another forum and being the wimp I am (with a family and demanding workload) passed.

We should *always* take a moment to thank these people who graciously add quality to our forum lives.

Hi Calz,
Yes, most people around here hate sports as being the world of the 'absolute fake' in which “imitations don't merely reproduce reality, but try to improve on it.” (Umberto Eco) to quote a sentence I am just reading. From this standpoint, your vid is a collection of glitches, which is why we laugh. But many don't realize that this is not at all what sport is all about. They should try doing some.

A strange observation. Page 222 on this thread contains post #4440, page 444 contains post #8880 and page 888 contains post #17760. The page number doubled with a zero added(or multiplied by 20). What are the odds of that?

I have some kind of bite on my foot, probably spider, me being the barefoot gardener that i am..

My foot and ankle is swollen, but no pain. Drinking MMS, and also applying topically with DSM,
just in case. Feel fine though , more than fine, just have a puffy and numb foot.

Interesting too, as yesterday i was working with a client who was trapped in a dark web
of fairly powerful darker entities, took quite a bit to clear her. This group literally had
her constantly in a state of confusion and running in circles. I checked in with her earlier
today and she sounds totally different, she was telling me that she spent the day cleaning
her house from top to bottom, which is a great sign that the clearing worked.
As within so without, etc..so fingers crossed that things stay that way.

My new office set up is amazing, the space itself is even informing my work, already i have
been finding new and more effective ways of working. This would normally be the lounge room
in the house and its a largish room. So have the space to see face to face clients also.

I even have a reading corner which means i will actually get through my pile of books.
I have been reading in bed and i only end up falling asleep after a few pages.

So 2013, so far is looking mighty fine.. thanks no doubt in part to that fire "ritual"
gotta love those happy accidents. But of course there is no such thing as an accident,
well not IMO anyways...

Love you all

Thank you Dennis, that's right.

Bill has mentioned a couple of times (usually when someone behaviorially devolves and gets vacationed or booted) that when people are allowed to join in as a poster/member at Avalon that they seem interesting enough to sit down and have a cup of coffee with. So, "a pot of coffee" is quite a compliment. I'd happily fire up (at least) a second pot of coffee with Bill.

Bill may have popped in just to see where he was permanently banned from the thread, way back in the first couple hundred pages, or so.


He was???
By me???
I have no recollection whatsoever of doing that.
Why would I do such a thing?
Can you remember in which context?It was, of course, tongue-in-cheek, and a playful way of dealing with all the talk of banning that was going on at that time and just before (I think I was a mod back then, and there was lots of forum talk about banning, lots of energy given to it, but really only a handful of people banned.)

But I'll take this opportunity to say to Bill:

Hey Bill, this thread may be good for the occasional snippet from you about what's going on in your local sphere, without the attendance and follow-up "pressure" of starting a thread. (This is more casual.) You're a very interesting person (two pots of coffee, at least hahahahah), and it would be good to hear from you in this venue.

Dennis

Do you think he heard you?
He is very elusive, I find.
Oh yes. Besides the typed word, the same message was sent telepathically. One way or the other, his pineal gland will vibrate (probably at 432Hz) and the message will go through. :~)


Dennis

What did you telepath to him? 'Smell the coffee!'? I like your rating system Dennis, coffee pots as Michelin stars; on this scale, I'd be very happy with half a cup :)That rating system isn't mine, it's Bill's, or said better, it is one of the ways that Bill has expressed whether someone seems to be a good fit with Avalon.

Dennis

Then that'll be why he's playing elusive - watching his caffeine level. He sounds very 'nervous' (his own word) about Alex Jones just now. Now Alex is coffee pots on steroids.

Just got back home, from driving husband to the nearest town to pick up our other car from the mechanic. Problematic car, which is an ancient BMW 750 LSi with a 12 cylinder engine. Everything works, but there are constant problems with the spark plugs. So while he went inside I decided to wait a little longer before heading back home, in case the Beemer didn't start. And suddenly my husband calls me out to meet the mechanic and his wife. This guy works out of his humble home garage, and is himself really humble looking, like a bean farmer, and so is his wife. But he is obviously a genius when it comes to fixing complicated engines; I could see from the Range Rovers and high range BMWs parked there. So his clients trust him. So I found out that this guys son was on a beach one day and met his now wife, a girl from Switzerland who was vacationing in Costa Rica. And when he married her, he found out that she was a billion dollar heiress of multinational pharmaceutical family fortune, (Roche) and is now living in a mansion in Switzerland. His parents were obviously not even allowed to go to the wedding, but told me they might be going there this year. Cinderella story reversed.

I hope that this old couple will get the royal treatment when they go there, they told me that they are a bit intimidated at the prospect, knowing how perfectionistic the super-rich who live in Switzerland are.

On my way back down into my valley I passed mangey street dogs, and walking indigenous coffee pickers in their Wellington boots which they need to wear in the fields as a protection against snakes. Wondering what the Roche clan would think of all this. Nothing here is as manicured as the Swiss Alps.

I hope that marriage works out well Ulli. I have a niece whose boyfriend was a lovely young man whose father was unfortunately a top executive with a well-known soft drink corporation. She decided to back out because she felt too uncomfortable with the richissime way of doing things. I would certainly feel concern (as opposed to upset) over a wedding where the parents were considered persona non grata.

You know...something is going to blow 'wide open' very soon in an unimaginable beautiful and exponential way. This direct/indirect help I keep speaking of regarding each of our own 'higher ups'. What we are doing in the roots and wings matters of things that really matter now is so instrumental in helping this along moment by moment. I have been doing many things myself moreso than usual, quietly behind the scenes and also setting myself up by speaking out...and what I speak up about is not new at all...we may each be simply setting up decoy after decoy with higher help so that this energy of unforeseen and unforetold magnificent magnitude can play out, So simply keep doing what we can do through each of our own heart's mind and active manifestation in the here and now. It boggles my mind why someone has not simply gotten a massive output of instant information out there that has put some practical inventive things to work for themselves and everyone out there...like running a small home with Tesla/Leedskalnin more or less non-stop power completely off the grid. James from ECETI put it out there while I was living there and helping out inviting any 'tinkerer' with this knowledge to come to the ranch and get it working there and show the world in a very thought out clandestine and then instant exposure way. I am talking about this here and now because I feel it is about to happen and cannot be stopped this time. I feel there are cluster groups already doing this and keeping it quiet for now, I also feel that we are going to get an instant upgrade someway somehow very soon because we are going to get direct access to the advanced technology that is already at our fingertips but is completely hidden and kept from us. I was prompted to share this openly this morning for some reason. I have a strong feeling our energy of seeing this occurring very soon is in fact a catalyst for it occurring very soon. And I understand many here in the Village understand that but I wanted to put it right out here in front of everyone. We are right there...something is going to push it through any moment. I understand again that many of you have been doing this somehow, someway...but...
Can we really give a Village push to this...each in our own way together?
Maybe it is simply pedal to the metal time with this explosion of information and putting it to use now, Here and Now...NO money down...just put it out there and change the world and upgrade the upgrade we are now experiencing beyond all logical and comprehensive 3d convoluted bindings!

My thoughts, exactly. Yet despite that it can sometimes work out. As was the case of a former in-law of mine, whose parents owned a hotel and she worked at the reception desk. One day a guest who was an heir the Marks and Spencer family fortune fell in love with her. They have been married for more than 30 years. Both his parents who used to live in Switzerland, London and the South of France have now passed away, leaving him with a massive fortune. He built himself a mansion with the funds he raised from just one sale... get this: a coffee table object his parents had owned.
They have an endless amount of treasures, which all need to be maintained in good condition, ...amongst them many multi million dollar Impressionist paintings. His wife is mostly concerned about animal rights. Always has been a true dog lover, and is still her old self. Two sons from that marriage, very sweet boys, now in their late twenties.

I keep searching and asking for those more intelligent/evolved beings to bring their presence to my awareness, or help guide me toward being able to be more aware.

Donk, kismet! Post #844 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30323-Simon-Parkes-about-Mantis-Aliens-Reptiles-and-other-aliens.&p=614462&viewfull=1#post614462) (note the 4’s and 4+4=8). It’s a1exanderga11ier’s response to Freed Fox. Thank you, a1exanderga11ier! :wave:

This post helped me with a description that’s succinctly stated to go within rather than waiting for Higher Others to drive your Farrari. I’ve included the whole post, but it’s the response that I wanted to share.



So for those like me who have no realized telepathic ability or 'friends in high places', there is little to do but become aware and not buy into the programming? I am not calling Truman or anyone else into question here; I'm sure the deficiency is mine, and I'm probably missing something. You'll have to forgive me in which case...I've been reading so much higher level material that it's making my head spin. I'm probably just thicker than I thought.

Your head is not spinning, Fox, the fog is beginning to lift. There is a proper timing that we each enact when we come to the information which wakes us and shakes us. Awareness changes perception, perception motivates action, and actions born of higher consciousness are what will heal the human condition. Look to your inspirations and your dreams. You are your own friend from on high. It is time to do what you have always known you were here to do. We each possess a piece of this puzzle, and we are meant to work together. We do this and we are, as a united Race, god-like.

Hi Freed Fox...
Just a comment from me regarding this line in your post that you do not have 'friends in high places'

You do, we all do....and the gate is wide open now for connection more so than ever...talk to them.

Do you have loved ones that were especially important to you that have passed on?
Do you have very close friends that you honored and bonded with that have passed on?

Connect to anyone you honor and respect and would take suggestions from that are on the other side...they do not have to be family or friends...just someone that means something to you.

Animal spirits too...that are special to you.

You have friends in high places that are connected to friends in high places, try to connect to them your own way when out in nature or meditating or however and wherever you find peace and quiet for yourself. Talk to them as though they were there with you and ask about these things or 'any'thing you want or need to.

... many don't realize that this is not at all what sport is all about. They should try doing some

araucaria, I noted your perspective, posted elsewhere (can't remember which thread) where you see the benefits of participating in sports. Good perspective. I suspect that most of us that don't watch or pay any attention to sports are rejecting the culture of passively watching sports, sports drama, and sports hero worship. If (amateur) participants in sports are not caught up in or deluded by the trappings of sport, I can see how it is good for body, mind, and soul.

Dennis

Thank you Dennis, that's right. Amateur participants can also be active watchers, but if nothing else (and of course there is much more to it) I fail to understand how so many people recommending all kinds of detox reject the wholesome effect of breaking into a sweat now and again which eliminates toxins for the price of a bottle of water.

Morning Village. If i may.....This is the only sport i partake in. I'm a huge fan of this winter sport.

I'd happily fire up (at least) a second pot of coffee with Bill.

Dennis

Me too. And even if we can't, his scatterings of posts on the forum are refreshing, like a good cup of coffee.
He is doing a fine balance between alerting people to prospective danger but also helps them maintain an even keel...
as there still are a lot of people who want to hear it from the horse's mouth that things will be alright.

Here is a quote from Bill Ryan, expressed last December, addressing people's fears about the end of the Mayan calendar:

"Let's look forward to 1 January 2013 (as I've often written) -- and then we can put all the hysteria behind us and focus on important matters.
Dark Forces, whose interests and agendas are unwittingly supported with many otherwise able and perceptive people embracing the massive diversion and distraction, are having a field day.
Next year it's important that we all get on with the job in hand."

We are there now, getting on with the job in hand.

Christine: I am really sorry for your loss, thinking about you.

Cdn: welcome to the party...good times. You are required to read all previous ones before we let you post though...there's only 25k, don't be lazy (joking!!)

Paula, thanks so much for the answer to my "prayer". Thinking about it, you had already directly communicated a way to heighten my sensitivity (which is a better way of saying what I was hoping for) earlier that day (decalcifying the pineal video) before I even asked. Then you went further, and made yourself clear and showed me more in the more in the direct answer to my gripe or whatever you call it.

It was so synchronistic, I am up to season 10 on Stargate SG-1, at the point where the "lower" level false god parasites (goo-ahol or however you say it, Apophis and Hathor and Anubis and such)) have been defeated, though the plot arch has moved on to a spirtual war, where the "ascended beings" come in to play. Apparently some beings from a different galaxy that feed off of worship from lower beings (the Orai) had learned to ascend--though obviously they are more like archons/demons than what you first of think of as "ascended"--they had learned most of the secrets of the galaxy and how to transcend and manipulate the physical...as has their enemy, the "ancients", the ascended beings that inhabit our galaxy, at first portrayed as the "good guys", angel types, who had been a theme throughout the show since the first time the anthropogist/archeologist/spiritual character that often takes the "Christ" role, Daniel Jackson died the first (of many) times. He ascended, and learned that even on that higher plane, there's some sort of heirarchy and rules...or you get sent back--the biggie being non-interference with 3D beings affairs.

Rambling again...but my point is, Daniel Jackson goes to Atlantis seeking a weapon "Merlin" (one of the ancients, who apparently broke the non-interference rule so "descended") created that can kill ascended beings. He figures out that the girl pretending to be the holographic interface of the city's database (the ancient's knowledge) is actually Morgan La Fay (this killed me, brought me back to reading my boys the "Magic Treehouse" books), an ascended being that was bending the non-interference giving Daniel cryptic/incomplete clues.

Sooo...he gets fed up, calls her out, points out that THEY (ancients) will be effected if the Orai take over, and basically say: I'm sick of this cryptic crap and your non-interference rule! I know you are there, I know that you have the information we need, and I know that those "above" you can hear me too...let this one slide, for all of us--cuz once they kill us they will go after you...well Morgan being empathetic and kinda Christ-like (you sacrifice your ascenced existence by "helping" lower beings) in her own way, starts to give him the direct answer...of course to be sucked away--prevented at the last minute.

Valla says "well, we kinda know where it is now"...and DJ goes "yeah, we know something else too: they will not help us. We are on our own".

...I dunno, to me it was a chilling synchronicity, I couldn't believe THAT was the episode that came up last night. It kind of locked in everything Paula said (which I already knew), but also made me realize that there are those out there doing what they can, in the way that they can, I guess. And instead of hoping some angel appearing and saying: do this to open your "3rd eye", I learned to appreciate angel WCBD sharing the list of things I can do to take responsibility for the calcified pineal situation and empower myself.

I was just kinda whining, in that I look around at all the people with the innate ability to just SEE and HEAR and FEEL and even communicate directly with beings I can not directly experience in any way. A little perspective though: not one that I know in the real world is without some SEVERE trauma or extremely abused early life experience. So I guess be careful what I wish for? I dunno, I still wanna see a ghost, to hear the voice of an angel, to feel the healing warmth of a kind spirit, to get a good look with my own eyes at some weird animal creature from another dimension!

I guess whining is not the word...I was fishing for clues, hints, help, advice...and like Valla says in that same episode (when they are getting frustrated by the cryptic answers Morgan started giving): it never hurts to ask! So thank you thank you thank you Paula, and i hope you continue to refrain from your claimed desire to not "give advice"...you have too much knowledge (love/truth) not to share...

So this here and now, I realize I need to stop neglecting my duties here at the cracker factory...forgive the long post, I really didn't feel like working (or reading). Much love.

A heart felt thank you, Donk. I’ve mentioned before that I'm still working out the bugs between preachy, teachy, patronizing and sharing helpful information. Your feedback is valued along with how you put yourself in a vulnerable position to work out solutions with us. I’ve read your posts on other threads and it’s clear that you are a multifaceted spirit-human.

I just got this book and the first page I opened to was on some steps to assist with ET contacts. It’s an area that I’ve not experienced in the physical in part because there is/was fear. Because of copyrights, I’ll only briefly list what’s on page 223 (book below). Meditate on an image such as a triangle, send message into universe. This creates a direct line from them to your third eye. Then like zooming in to where you live on Goggle, lets them know where you live. It’s important to come from a place of heart only and not fear. One last point, it’s important to them that they are not looked upon as Gods. It’s a partnership. We and they are equals and learn from one another.

[Dennis Leahy]

Dennis, can you briefly explain what is the job description of a mod?

- How long were you one?
From before time began, I am ONE. All divisions are illusions.
- Do you have to train?
Yes, and the worst part was the leotard riding up and giving me a wedgie.
- Does it require technological skill/training?
Full compliment of psychic powers, or the ability to make veggie soup. Others need not apply.
- What kind of time commitment does it take?
Less than a single lifetime - no guarantee you'll be recognized in another reincarnation.
- Do mods have a short life span being a mod because of the responsibility to deal with so many personalities?
Navy Seals have been trained to do deceased moderator burials at sea, or the Air Force can chop-up used mods and add to chemtrail mixtures - this is left to each mod to decide.
- What percentage of people would you say didn't respect your decisions? Are they mostly repeat offenders?

You're welcome, and know that you are amazing Paula...i try to say what i mean...so thats a good word "heartfelt"...I try to put that in every post (cuz I kick myself after posting something that came from somewhere else, exposing the ego).

The pieces you pulled from the other thread---that was LITERAL heartfelt--it made my physical 3D heart feel something kinda funny fo' sho'...resonanted like little else so far today. This resonated (not quite as literally physically as much in the heart welling up kind of way...more like a "red flag"):


One last point, it’s important to them that they are not looked upon as Gods. It’s a partnership. We and they are equals and learn from one another.



I been reading a lot of DNA's old posts (he's related some great stories from '11...and he started a thread that was the original "Horus-Ra" imo), and one of the things he mentioned that stuck out to me was how the "folks" he found to be "higher" helpers definitely were all about somethign to the effect of: be careful, cuz if you even get close to worship or looking on us as higher or whatever, we're outa here...


I’ve read your posts on other threads and it’s clear that you are a multifaceted spirit-human.



Thanks...that's why I'm here (avalon) and why I'm here (now). My life was so multifacted, I had only a few that could relate to half what I had going on (that remains true here...this may be hard to believe, but I keep MOST of the 3D drama of my life off here...so if you follow me and my constant venting of my 3D drama...that's ususally not even the most extreme of what's going on).

So here & now I'm projecting the love I receive from avalon (and the village) back out...thanks to all of you, love you all!!

Us versus Carmody's knowledge:



So much lol and tired ... heading for bed ... no need to add an image.

Use your creative powers villagers and simply imagine what sort of image I may have posted ...

Perhaps something useful in the daze that come???

Bedtime? Avalon gives you jetlag for sure.

Calz works nights.
I should have worked that out for myself. He's always holding the fort with me in the 'morning'. To think that Einstein never suffered from jetlag....
Edit: or maybe he did? did he join Project Paperclip at what Carmody calls 'FTL'?

You reminded me of a great Frank Herbert I will now have to re-read:

The premise is that a consciousness that humans created (in the form of a spaceship that they were on--see "Destination: Void") which chose as it's existence to be God (SG-1 "Orai-style"), and forces its people to decide how to WorSHIP (or else!).

Dennis, can you briefly explain what is the job description of a mod?

- How long were you one?
From before time began, I am ONE. All divisions are illusions.
- Do you have to train?
Yes, and the worst part was the leotard riding up and giving me a wedgie.
- Does it require technological skill/training?
Full compliment of psychic powers, or the ability to make veggie soup. Others need not apply.
- What kind of time commitment does it take?
Less than a single lifetime - no guarantee you'll be recognized in another reincarnation.
- Do mods have a short life span being a mod because of the responsibility to deal with so many personalities?
Navy Seals have been trained to do deceased moderator burials at sea, or the Air Force can chop-up used mods and add to chemtrail mixtures - this is left to each mod to decide.
- What percentage of people would you say didn't respect your decisions? Are they mostly repeat offenders?
Do you mean not counting my wife and daughter?
- Were there many paid infiltrators on the forum?
Yes, but we did not pay them very much, so they didn't work very hard.
- What if you are not interested in a thread, do you still monitor it?

[Dennis Leahy]

Dennis, can you briefly explain what is the job description of a mod?
Hi Paula. I'll take a serious try...


- How long were you one? I was active for a few months, then I got too busy in other things (Reset Button, mainly) to do much moderating.


- Do you have to train? No. Not really. For some technical stuff, (like splitting threads), each new mod is walked through the process by someone with the knowledge of how to do it without screwing up the forum threads (it was usually Paul, sometimes Ilie, for me)


- Does it require technological skill/training?A bit of understanding how the vBulletin (forum) software works is a plus, but the main things mods do are not technical, but are using their hearts to guide them in making King Solomon decisions. (You'd be great!) Nothing controversial was decided solo. The kinds of things mods do without consulting each other are more like forum thread/post housekeeping. Fixing nested quotes, for example.


- What kind of time commitment does it take? Give what you can, when you can. Paul said it better.


- Do mods have a short life span being a mod because of the responsibility to deal with so many personalities? I can only say for sure why my lifespan as a mod was short. (I got too damn busy.) But it it true (much moreso then, in the wake of the forum's eruption) that I found it tricky to be an ordinary member and posting in controversial threads in which I was also actively "modding."


- What percentage of people would you say didn't respect your decisions? Are they mostly repeat offenders?The percentage was small, other than a hugely unpopular decision when one longtime and well-liked (or strongly disliked - there was not much gray zone) member was removed from the forum. In the very beginning of the short time I was a mod, there was a faction that wanted to crucify Bill for all things wrong on the forum and in the multiverse - including burned toast and sh!tty marriages - and hounded and accused and put-down and some even libelled Bill. That was tough to take, was unfair to Bill, and those folks generally did not respect any decisions made about them and their repeated actions (and some got vacations to think about it, some were removed from the forum, and some quit.)


- Were there many paid infiltrators on the forum?I've had suspicions on a few, but not confirmed.


- What if you are not interested in a thread, do you still monitor it?No. No one was assigned to any threads, and it was hoped (and encouraged) that members would report posts that were outside guidelines - thus alerting mods to problems on threads that maybe none of the mods were particularly interested to follow.


- Did you ever run into a problem with someone that has authority issues?Yes. Some folks handle even gentle forum moderation suggestions very defensively - and sometimes they would simply invoke their right to type anything they wanted, calling it "censorship" if they had to modify behavior or words.


- Are you expected to log in a certain number of hours?No, whatever you can. (Although it would be kinda crazy to volunteer if someone could only be on the forum a few hours a week.)


- How important is it for the community to be a part of reporting of Members reporting problems is important because mods should be representatives of the whole forum, not utterly autonomous. Mods have dealt with a few "big deals" and so might not see something else as being big enough to warrant attention - but a member or two reporting a post shows the mod that it needs attention.


- Have you ever had to give a 10 day vacation to someone?Yes. Again, those were different times. There was probably more of that in early 2011 than in all of 2012. There were a number of people - maybe a dozen, that had been a part of Avalon and felt a strong sense of "ownership" (for lack of a better word), and at the same time, the clash they had with Bill and/or some of the mods made it impossible for them to stay. They either quit or were removed.


- Did the new people stay in close contact with you for support?Not really. I had a few people ask several "how do I..." questions, but not as much as I expected. I think the vast majority of members are forum savvy and computer literate.

I would add that some of the staff (Bill, admins, and mods) chats on Skype were epic and awesome, and easily as good as the best forum threads. For one reason or another, they were about information that just couldn't go on a public forum, or sometimes just personal stuff. It was, of course, also an opportunity to get to know those folks better - much better - and was one of the best parts of being a mod.

Just remember to stay in high frequency, say thank you, do random acts of kindness, listen to uplifting music and seek out your joy without judgement. We are all in contact with multidimensional BEINGS, first they are inside of us, but more than that they are all around us just waiting to be invited. To connect, remember you are one of them, ask to be connected, call out "I remember who I am-I connect-Come be with me, whisper in my ear of love and direction, I am ready to be present, I am ready to BECOME"

Well, my ex High Football Coach died today! He was 84. Good long life. Short illness.

As I look at it after all these years, it seems like RESPECT comes to mind. He was rough and gruff at times. But when I was in the hosptal, he came to deliver my letter jacket.

Needless to say, he had a loving wife(I love her to death) and two beautiful children.

I was the first of 5 brothers that played for him. We had many chamionships based on dicipline.

So what does love have to do with it? Respect for your fellow man!

We lived a community that was half causcion and half black. We came together on the football field as one. Remember this was back in the 60's.
Respect! Again. We didn't have fights in the schools. Thats what he taught us!

Yes, I took my beautiful boxador (combination black lab and boxer).Copper. Yes it is a breed!

Anyway as the sun started setting, On my Ol' Kentucy Home, it is beautiful 63 degrees in Kentucky, USA. As the beutiful sun fades in the west.

I just want to wish my old coach, pleasant jorneys in the afterlife!

My goal is for new and existing members to feel comfortable on the forum. So your feedback and Paul’s is helpful.

Ideally, it’s where everyone participates: Avalonian Family reaching out to Avalonian Family. Nothing complicated. Something as simple as a PM, or a hello on a message board of thanks for their valued point of view.

I’m tossing some ideas around. Maybe even start a thread for feedback on how we all can assist:
- new comers
- reluctant ones
- ones that don’t feel connected

For those that expressed doubt, confusion and frustration, I’ve seen some of us direct them to the “Here and Now” thread. It’s a great place to experiment with voice and play and support and family/friendship connections. Too, there are lot that reach out in quiet ways.

If 2 out of 10 members drop a “hello I was thinking of you” message once a week, that kind of juice is paid forward in countless ways here and in their personal lives.


Small and consistent actions are immeasurable.

Another idea is that I’d PM, to ask if anyone be part of an informal “phone line”. We’d pass along names that may be in need of an invitation/encouragement to skydive, fire walk, bungee jump, or do it the Wakytweaky way - leap. (Or roll up the pants and wade.)


If any one is interested in the informal phone line, please let me know.

You know...something is going to blow 'wide open' very soon in an unimaginable beautiful and exponential way. This direct/indirect help I keep speaking of regarding each of our own 'higher ups'. What we are doing in the roots and wings matters of things that really matter now is so instrumental in helping this along moment by moment. I have been doing many things myself moreso than usual, quietly behind the scenes and also setting myself up by speaking out...and what I speak up about is not new at all...we may each be simply setting up decoy after decoy with higher help so that this energy of unforeseen and unforetold magnificent magnitude can play out, So simply keep doing what we can do through each of our own heart's mind and active manifestation in the here and now. It boggles my mind why someone has not simply gotten a massive output of instant information out there that has put some practical inventive things to work for themselves and everyone out there...like running a small home with Tesla/Leedskalnin more or less non-stop power completely off the grid. James from ECETI put it out there while I was living there and helping out inviting any 'tinkerer' with this knowledge to come to the ranch and get it working there and show the world in a very thought out clandestine and then instant exposure way. I am talking about this here and now because I feel it is about to happen and cannot be stopped this time. I feel there are cluster groups already doing this and keeping it quiet for now, I also feel that we are going to get an instant upgrade someway somehow very soon because we are going to get direct access to the advanced technology that is already at our fingertips but is completely hidden and kept from us. I was prompted to share this openly this morning for some reason. I have a strong feeling our energy of seeing this occurring very soon is in fact a catalyst for it occurring very soon. And I understand many here in the Village understand that but I wanted to put it right out here in front of everyone. We are right there...something is going to push it through any moment. I understand again that many of you have been doing this somehow, someway...but...
Can we really give a Village push to this...each in our own way together?
Maybe it is simply pedal to the metal time with this explosion of information and putting it to use now, Here and Now...NO money down...just put it out there and change the world and upgrade the upgrade we are now experiencing beyond all logical and comprehensive 3d convoluted bindings!
Spirit and Science Become One and the Same...Alive and Flourishing!

Very inspiring, eaglespirit. Those who do this have to stay under the radar, though. If that is possible.
The rest of us have to push up protective energies around them. I know Carmody can use our shielding efforts.

Oh my gosh, I sure wish I could describe for you what is going on in my house right now. I'm laughing so hard. Em and Little One are doing Wii Fitness. Em, whose name cannot possibly be Grace in any universe, first worked on balance and toning. And, since the lovely lady in the Wii brain told her she could have help, I stood next to her and laughed my ass off while she held on to me to steady her. The lady kept interrupting, saying "you are doing well, but you are a little wobbly." That kept me going for a minute. Then she did a 1.2 mile bicycle ride through town. Now, that was something to watch. She was controlling the bicycle and peddling fairly well until she hit an incline, got those muscles working uphill, but the down hill...she didn't know how to brake, so she flew over about a 6' wall and landed on the road below..and the three of us yelling the whole way "Ahhhhhhh!!!"

Of course, what made me sit and guffaw with my legs crossed was the Hula hoop. Actually it is the Super Hula Hoop. What's the difference, you ask? Well... She is standing on this pad, Little One beside her, swinging her hips in circles, him thinking he was also, and boy she got that hula hoop a-going. Then, though, another one got tossed to her, now this gets really funny to watch after about three hula hoops, you see, because when one is thrown to you, you have to stop and reeeeeeach to one side, shifting your weight from one foot to the other.

Oh. My. That was tooooooo much fun. And for anyone who might wonder why she is not actually riding a bike, or actually walking a mile, trust me when I tell you there is no where to do this around here, and I'm tickled that she wants to do it in the living room. Better than not getting up :)

Giggles and laughter. That's the most magic I can muster these days. I hope it's helping in some way, helping to bring in all the good stuff being beamed this direction...

Much Love,

Gotta say, thinking about the 444 post makes me feel like I'm on the right track with my current path


A strange observation. Page 222 on this thread contains post #4440, page 444 contains post #8880 and page 888 contains post #17760. The page number doubled with a zero added(or multiplied by 20). What are the odds of that?

EDIT: Page 111 has post #2220 also:eek:

Good Morning AwakeInADream....wishing you well : )

My calculus and algebra and trigonametry and basic logical math etc. etc. and such are a bit rusty...
but this occurs on every page.
Paul or Carmody or???? Someone here will give a reason for that sequential multiple happening the way the pages and threads are set up to click over to the next at certain volume numbers. : ) : ) : )

I think it's simply that a 'page' consists of 20 posts regardless of their size

Occam’s Razor Moment - Is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is often correct.

My goal is for new and existing members to feel comfortable on the forum. So your feedback and Paul’s is helpful.

Ideally, it’s where everyone participates: Avalonian Family reaching out to Avalonian Family. Nothing complicated. Something as simple as a PM, or a hello on a message board of thanks for their valued point of view.

I’m tossing some ideas around. Maybe even start a thread for feedback on how we all can assist:
- new comers
- reluctant ones
- ones that don’t feel connected

For those that expressed doubt, confusion and frustration, I’ve seen some of us direct them to the “Here and Now” thread. It’s a great place to experiment with voice and play and support and family/friendship connections. Too, there are lot that reach out in quiet ways.

If 2 out of 10 members drop a “hello I was thinking of you” message once a week, that kind of juice is payed forward in countless ways here and in their personal lives.


Small and consistent actions are immeasurable.

Another idea is that I’d PM, to ask if anyone be part of an informal “phone line”. We’d pass along names that may be in need of an invitation/encouragement to skydive, fire walk, bungee jump, or do it the Wakytweaky way - leap. (Or roll up the pants and wade.)


If any one is interested in the informal phone line, please let me know.

Dennis, can you briefly explain what is the job description of a mod?
Hi Paula. I'll take a serious try...


- How long were you one? I was active for a few months, then I got too busy in other things (Reset Button, mainly) to do much moderating.


- Do you have to train? No. Not really. For some technical stuff, (like splitting threads), each new mod is walked through the process by someone with the knowledge of how to do it without screwing up the forum threads (it was usually Paul, sometimes Ilie, for me)


- Does it require technological skill/training?A bit of understanding how the vBulletin (forum) software works is a plus, but the main things mods do are not technical, but are using their hearts to guide them in making King Solomon decisions. (You'd be great!) Nothing controversial was decided solo. The kinds of things mods do without consulting each other are more like forum thread/post housekeeping. Fixing nested quotes, for example.


- What kind of time commitment does it take? Give what you can, when you can. Paul said it better.


- Do mods have a short life span being a mod because of the responsibility to deal with so many personalities? I can only say for sure why my lifespan as a mod was short. (I got too damn busy.) But it it true (much moreso then, in the wake of the forum's eruption) that I found it tricky to be an ordinary member and posting in controversial threads in which I was also actively "modding."


- What percentage of people would you say didn't respect your decisions? Are they mostly repeat offenders?The percentage was small, other than a hugely unpopular decision when one longtime and well-liked (or strongly disliked - there was not much gray zone) member was removed from the forum. In the very beginning of the short time I was a mod, there was a faction that wanted to crucify Bill for all things wrong on the forum and in the multiverse - including burned toast and sh!tty marriages - and hounded and accused and put-down and some even libelled Bill. That was tough to take, was unfair to Bill, and those folks generally did not respect any decisions made about them and their repeated actions (and some got vacations to think about it, some were removed from the forum, and some quit.)


- Were there many paid infiltrators on the forum?I've had suspicions on a few, but not confirmed.


- What if you are not interested in a thread, do you still monitor it?No. No one was assigned to any threads, and it was hoped (and encouraged) that members would report posts that were outside guidelines - thus alerting mods to problems on threads that maybe none of the mods were particularly interested to follow.


- Did you ever run into a problem with someone that has authority issues?Yes. Some folks handle even gentle forum moderation suggestions very defensively - and sometimes they would simply invoke their right to type anything they wanted, calling it "censorship" if they had to modify behavior or words.


- Are you expected to log in a certain number of hours?No, whatever you can. (Although it would be kinda crazy to volunteer if someone could only be on the forum a few hours a week.)


- How important is it for the community to be a part of reporting of Members reporting problems is important because mods should be representatives of the whole forum, not utterly autonomous. Mods have dealt with a few "big deals" and so might not see something else as being big enough to warrant attention - but a member or two reporting a post shows the mod that it needs attention.


- Have you ever had to give a 10 day vacation to someone?Yes. Again, those were different times. There was probably more of that in early 2011 than in all of 2012. There were a number of people - maybe a dozen, that had been a part of Avalon and felt a strong sense of "ownership" (for lack of a better word), and at the same time, the clash they had with Bill and/or some of the mods made it impossible for them to stay. They either quit or were removed.


- Did the new people stay in close contact with you for support?Not really. I had a few people ask several "how do I..." questions, but not as much as I expected. I think the vast majority of members are forum savvy and computer literate.



Feel free to delete any or add. Thanks for your time. :wave:

Peace,
Paula
I would add that some of the staff (Bill, admins, and mods) chats on Skype were epic and awesome, and easily as good as the best forum threads. For one reason or another, they were about information that just couldn't go on a public forum, or sometimes just personal stuff. It was, of course, also an opportunity to get to know those folks better - much better - and was one of the best parts of being a mod.

This is such a cheat - but -- ditto!
