"...I did sent him a letter once, expressing my unconditional love despite of whatever had happened. It took him months to respond and all he could say in the end was that he was caught of guard and blown away. Any ideas on how I can reach him? Or how I can sent positive energy towards him without forcing it upon him or threathening him by it because he cannot except it at this point?

Hi, Malerogro,

I'd say what you and your Dad did is not only honorable but brave. Maybe from time to time you can drop an email or call that says something like "I was thinking of you, thought I'd let you know." Hallmark cards are a big help in that department, too.

It's his journey to accept or reject. As long as your purpose is with highest intentions, he'll receive it on some level. A word of advise from a father/son relationship I was intimately a part of, do not feel rejected if it doesn't come back your way. If alls you want is to send him a loving message, know it's accomplished.

Should you wait for confirmation of his love, then I'd pass along this: if your Dad is from the old school, it may be hard for him to express his feelings. No doubt, he loves you very much and says braggy things when you aren't around.

Hearts,
Paula :wave:

I quit after the third time my browser went down each time I tried to play the vid. Saw it as a sign. Must be this new and improved model Pauler. Tee-hee.

Donk please go the doctor regarding the hand numbness.

yes Donk

And Paula please, could you have your heart checked, just in case (it may have been an energetic happening without consequence physically, but it may also have been accompanied by a heart attack which would leave scars and harden tissues).

[ThePythonicCow]

Donk please go the doctor regarding the hand numbness.
A doctor ... or whomever you trust in the healing arts :).

[donk]

Indeed Paul...though my doc is the best within his limited paradigm, I'd get the most honest assessment insurance can buy...you reminded me of how I was hoping the tingling was the emergence of healing powers when I first noticed it!

Alas, no lightning bolts, healing powers, not even low level telekinetic effects, just a harder time typing on this stupid phone!!

[1inMany]

What. A. Day.

What a jaw-dropping, thought provoking, remembering, pondering kind of day. Joyous and confusing, even confounding.

Think I'll get into bed and see if I can calm Little One, upset that he has to go home for the weekend. Actually, I've only had the heart to tell him it's for one night.

Then I shall see if sleep comes. Or just more pondering...and being with everything.

Malerogro...I would be willing to wager that he already knows, on some level.

donk...geez, get your hands looked at! And then...we can talk about whatever healing you already have the ability to do, and just don't realize it yet ;)

Much Love, Villagers...

Thank you, Flash. It crossed my mind at the time. I have a machine at home because of family history. Though, their lifestyle is different than mine. I've never smoked and I have about a small bottle and a half of wine a year. (More like 4-5 glasses a year.) I just checked my blood pressure: 116/82 with pulse 67. I'm usually 120/70-125/75, so it's different than usually, but not bad.

"Can virtual reality control pain?
Interface designer Dr. Diane Gromala has experienced chronic pain for the last 25 years. Working with concepts of mindfulness meditation--where a patient focuses on their pain to control it--Dr. Gromala and her team have built an immersive virtual reality environment that essentially allows patients to interface with the self by using biofeedback and sensory cues to modulate pain levels."

"...I did sent him a letter once, expressing my unconditional love despite of whatever had happened. It took him months to respond and all he could say in the end was that he was caught of guard and blown away. Any ideas on how I can reach him? Or how I can sent positive energy towards him without forcing it upon him or threathening him by it because he cannot except it at this point?

Hi, Malerogro,

I'd say what you and your Dad did is not only honorable but brave. Maybe from time to time you can drop an email or call that says something like "I was thinking of you, thought I'd let you know." Hallmark cards are a big help in that department, too.

It's his journey to accept or reject. As long as your purpose is with highest intentions, he'll receive it on some level. A word of advise from a father/son relationship I was intimately a part of, do not feel rejected if it doesn't come back your way. If alls you want is to send him a loving message, know it's accomplished.

Should you wait for confirmation of his love, then I'd pass along this: if your Dad is from the old school, it may be hard for him to express his feelings. No doubt, he loves you very much and says braggy things when you aren't around.

Hearts,
Paula :wave:

Thanks Paula! :angel:

Yeah I recognize the 'immediately feeling rejected part' and I am glad I finally have been able to let go of that :) after great difficulty I might add. Yes he is from the old school and told me once that outside of the home he only told people good things about me. That was pretty much the closest to saying 'I love you' he ever came. Yet I do not know till this day what good things :p and I don't need to anymore. However, this caused my older halfbrothers to think that my dad and I were much closer then they ever were with him and that made them jealous.

Why does love have to be so complicated in this world? There is so much fear that gets in the way!

The Bully project pretty much proves the point:

This problem would be less prevalent in a society where grandparents play an active role in family matters, in that they can throw light on the continuity of life.

Your father's parents would be able to open your eyes to how he transited from childhood to adolescence to adulthood...
and perhaps even show you something about the moments where he got stuck.
It's the unresolved issues that cause us to be mentally rigid and even paralyzed.

Maybe if you tried to investigate your father's history...the part of his life before you were born...
This might give you some better understanding.

Most guys were just not prepared for what it means to raise children,
which in my view is also the cause of so many divorces nowadays.

Hi Ulli,

Thanks to you too, I love the vibe of the village! Amazing that all this can happen on a internetforum :)
Investigating my father's history, my goodness! I have been there, done that :) It got to a point where I seem to knew more about his past than he does about mine. I learned a lot from doing this but it also got me into a destructive pattern because I did it too soon, too young, and too much. There were years I felt like I needed to be more mature then my parents (which is known in psychology as parentification) and it got in the way of my own development. Both my grandmothers died when I was three years old and my father's father got dementia when I was young so I haven't been able to talk to him either. There is one sister who I was thinking of contacting just last week. So hereby I am motivated to persist! This time I hope I can investigate without looking for specific answers :)

Peace!

Missing you, for sure...

When I saw the subject matter of that video, my heart sank. You are braver than I, Pauler, I can't even bring myself to watch any of it.

I don't know why this keeps popping up in my thoughts, but back when I was taking a look at how we all could improve the educational systems, I addressed bullying. That was spurred by some things M brought home from school. She is not a victim of bullying, though she once was. She turned into the protector from hell, haha. Anyone who was perceived as different, and would catch the attention of some cruelty, would essentially recoil when M stood up and looked it in the eye. I wouldn't want to face off with her over something like that, I'll tell you that for sure. Haha.

Anyway, there are the root underlying problems of lack of self esteem or lack of recognizing one's own value. Actually that applies to both sides of the bullying coin imo. There is also the lack of empathy, and the lack of responsibility. One way we could help these issues both take hold is restitution, and another is to force (if we had to go that far) people into a position to have compassion.

When I taught, I was asked to design and implement a mentoring and leadership program. I called the participants LifeGuards. Life was an acronym that stood for something or other, funny I can't remember what now. Anyway, the older students mentored the younger students, and the older students took that opportunity and ran with it. I was watching higher up members of this one particular prevalent street gang nurture younger students to keep them off the streets, out of trouble, and give them an "older brother" type of relationship. And one driving force for them, or one common theme that kept recurring, was that the older gang members wanted to keep the younger kids from joining gangs in the first place. It was a moving experience for me.

Instead of detention or in school suspension, we set up Community Service. It was a program in which restitution was made in every situation, no matter the level of severity. If a student somehow damaged school property, the student did community service to restore the property. Caught smoking? Guess who got to pick up cigarette butts, and while they were at it any other trash around the grounds. If a student somehow damaged the non-physical environment, the student did the same for that environment. Caught bullying? Guess who got to make posters for the school hallways that promoted respect and acceptance. And that was the first offense. One particular student was caught stealing from his sister's purse. We had worked and worked with this student, terribly tragic situation at home. But nothing was working. His community service was to write a 10 page essay about why it was wrong to steal. You would have thought we had given him a 10 year prison sentence in the roughest state penitentiary. It was actually funny how well that worked. He had to do a ton of research on the subject to fill up those pages, as he couldn't do it on his own.

Anyway, there are so many things that we could do. But I always ran into that brick wall, head first, of bureaucracy and the ptb. I don't work there any more, now do I? And that wasn't by choice. I was...removed.

I will gladly stand up against the bureaucracy, and blow that brick wall to smithereens, when that is possible. Some things will have to change first, and I wouldn't know how to describe that in a politically correct way. I will put it this way. When the ptb crumble, I bet there will be lots and lots of people like me (people with new ideas and the willingness to share them) who are more than happy to speak up.

Until then, I will stay in my little hole, wrestling with the learning opportunities I have in the Here and Now.

Much Love,

[WhiteFeather]

Nora's call for help of the children and the angels that came to help reminded me of a scene from the series 'higher ground'. Shelby has trouble falling asleep after rescuing a lost child which reminded her of her inner lost child. The scene is also accompanied by a beautiful song, 'in the arms of an angel' van Sarah Maclachan (video only works on full screen on my computer):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyc6tNEeufs

"In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You`re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here"

Peace!

Good morning! :biggrin: Getting a little better at typing on my phone. Want to say I really enjoy the unique energy and expressions of each Villager even though I don't press thanks on every post.

1, I especially love hearing from you. Your family is blessed to have you (I can hear you snorting a little ;o)), and you're a good story teller.

So today I'll be going to a meetup of the AZ group that started with Camelot and Avalon members. Haven't been to one in quite a while. Some new ppl I haven't met before.

Learning to manage my negative ego a little better these days--what a relief! Reparenting myself with love instead of waging internal battles. Replacing emotional/energetic cording with unconditional love. Morphing attachments into preferences. Long way to go, of course, but so grateful for progress and a sense of purpose.

What's happening in your internal world?

Lots of love,
Heather

I'm sorry. One more. And then I'm off to run around in the city for awhile. I saw this on facebook, and it struck me so deeply. I'm wondering if maybe someone else is at a place in their journey where this is powerful, too. On ShamanTube's page, written by Starhawk...this poem is called A Story of Masks...here is what struck me:


She says
There is another way
You knew it once
Remember

Memory sleeps coiled
like a snake in a basket
of grain
deep in the storehouse
Breathe deep
Let your breath take you down

Find the way there
And you will find the way out

Much Love,

peace out...

Thanks for asking heather: personally, I declared war on drama in my life.

Then I realized that act in itself is strengthening the "other side"

So I'm dropping the sides--"sides" suck...I won't even let "drama" be my enemy--those suck too.

So I've surrendered. Now I'm just living the here & now

Yes, it kinda defeats the purpose.

Like being an alcoholic or druggie (or whatever), there's always an excuse to indulge. Same base/fundamental mechanism in the self.

The Sun is finally shining in this part of the world and boy it does look beautiful! I feel instantly energized even though I've been having a sore throat.

It's been so cloudy that I've seen the Sun only twice during the last month and this is the third time. I can't wait for the spring!

Went to have dinner in the beach town of Jaco last night. The place is busy busy busy...like a fair.
Lots of surfers with massive shoulders, endless parade of tattoos...whores, pimps, and two police checkpoints with dozens of policemen, stopping cars and searching some of them.
I remember when the main strip was a dusty lane...now all paved, and high rise condo buildings have appeared everywhere.

Here's a video of Costa Rican beaches, both coasts.

Oh my goodness. It is ab-so-lute-ly beautiful outside, here and now! The sun is shining brightly, like it just woke up from a long and restful sleep. I can almost hear it. And the Texas sky is massive, so blue and clear. It is still too chilly for a barefoot jaunt through the yard, at 40F, 5C. But it is supposed to warm up to 64F, 17C. Even being a bit breezy it is already warmer than yesterday, and I bet you can't tell how excited I am.

There are birds chirping, some right here in the trees, some in the distance. I hear a cow or two, and a rooster still announcing the morning's arrival.

Oh, how relieved I am to be out of that city! I am not sure how this works, exactly, but I watched as the city made me more and more physically ill overnight Friday and into yesterday (Saturday). It started with a headache and slight nausea. Feeling so physically sick drove me back home early, and by the time I got out of there, I was so nauseated I could barely drive, my head was hurting so badly I couldn't think, I felt like I was plugged into something that was simply draining me-so exhausted I was. The list goes on and on.

And this morning, oh the relief! And here I am working very hard on getting stronger from the inside out, maintaining energy boundaries, releasing that which is not mine, and living in my core-my center. I can't imagine what more I can do, but before the next time I must go to that icky, sticky city, I will have to discover more. Somehow. Learning experience, for sure.

I hope everyone is having a Here and Now full of wonder, full of unity, and full of peace. Much Love,

[1inMany]

Here and Now, I sit putting the pieces together. Actually, I do nothing, I allow the pieces to show themselves. I have come to deeply understand that I am not this person, sitting here sharing this as the keys go tick tick clickety click. I am a soul, at some point in "my" development. At the same time, I am not a person, nor a soul, but I exist. And simultaneously I do not exist. I am seeking not enlightenment, but understanding. Truth.

Sharing this journey with you.

Much Love,

Reading 1inMany's post above reminds me of how grateful I am to be back home in Texas. Looking at Ulli's video reinforces my intent to remain in sunny tropical climes for the rest of my life. Canada was wonderful, it was the host for the gestation of Sira and I's love and it is where my son, Jaedyn, was born. Synchronicities continue to abound, yesterday, while showing Sira the campus a student of mine from when I taught at Northwest Vista college in San Antonio some years ago, walked up to us, sharing his life since he was in my class. A minute plus or minus and we would not have passed him.

Thankfulness, gratitude, big skies and palm trees. Life remains life with its ups and downs, but it is all good.

Amazing!! Around the time of this post I was walking with my dog in the park. It was cold and snowy but because of that also very quiet because people stayed inside. Surrounded by tranquility and nature I concentrated on the heart and after a while a picture of a puzzle came into my head and I explored how life can be viewed as a puzzle. You don't have power over all the pieces you get in life but you can always rearrange them to be part of a different picture. And if you are not satisfied with the pieces you have you can look for new ones. To me the picture is has become much greater than I ever thought and continues to grow :)

Synchronicities continue to abound, yesterday, while showing Sira the campus a student of mine from when I taught at Northwest Vista college in San Antonio some years ago, walked up to us, sharing his life since he was in my class. A minute plus or minus and we would not have passed him.

It's pretty cool bumping into people from our past like that Mark, I'm glad to hear it happened. I've recently started using Facebook, just as a tool to find and say hi to people I've shared some interesting times with in the past, and to see if we still have anything in common. Well, not so much. I think what it's showing me is that by and large, those days are best left in those days. For all practical purposes they were different lifetimes.

Kind of sad, but in another way rather interesting.

[Mark]

FB has taught me the same, Fred, for the most part. And yet, at the same time, there are a very few friends from those old days with whom there is the same exact resonance. Those folks who, when you meet them again, it is like no time at all has passed in between then and now. They are few in number, but reconnecting with them years and decades later is something to be grateful for even if our lives have taken radically different turns. I'm constantly surprised by the folks from HS and the other schools and jobs along the way who have led quite mundane yet successful lives who 'like' images or posts that I put up about alternative subjects. Who knows, perhaps these connections, as with all others, are for some greater purpose as well.

[Fred Steeves]

The only really old friend I still have, is actually the only person I've ever recommended Avalon to. He hardly ever posts though, and I'm going to have to have a talk with him about that(LOL), he's a very educated and interesting guy.

We've known each other since day one of 9th grade, been roommates, barhopping buds, worked the same crappy jobs, both did terrible in school, yet we both chose to educate ourselves later on down the road in our own way, and in our own time. We've only managed to briefly see each other once in the last 20 years, but whenever we talk on the phone it's like nothing ever changed.

Time to give him a call, and harass him about being shy around here. :nod:

[ulli]

Rahkyt and Fred, your conversation has me contemplating, why are there so few people on a spiritual path.
Because amongst my classmates I was the only one that broke free from traditional belief systems and became a seeker.
So this is what I figured:
Reality is actually heaven, it is truth, it is light, it is love, it is where one comes from and where one returns to, and synchronicities are the signposts that one is getting nearer to absolute Reality.

And the opposite of reality is the world, it is hell, it is lies, is deception, is illusion, is density, is confusion, is heavy materialism, and the law of random chaos and accidents and disintegration rules here.

Matter is Spirit at it's lowest and Spirit is Matter at its highest, and in between those absolutes there are infinite levels.

And no two people are ever on the same level, and the path of spirit is narrow and hidden, and difficult, and uphill, while the path of matter looks attractive and is an easy downhill slide full of thrills.

Might share more musings later...in the car right now, in the mountains, and signal not stable.

I feel like I have broken from a prison of dullness and darkness, I'm sun burnt, hot, sweaty and loving it.

The transition from Alaska to the Virgin Islands with my family and dogs has been more uplifiting that I could have hoped, I've been here three days and already gone out with large groups of new friends and extensively explored portions of the island. I couldn't be happier.

Here's where I was today:

I didn't used to think that location effected me much, I've changed my mind. I'm re-evaluating the pace of "life" and enjoying smaller things, everyone here waves hello to you.... this is all new and exciting!

[CD7]

Thats awesome Target! I felt relaxed just looking at the pics, the water is gorgeous...

Yeah environment can change alot!!! Paradise Planet Please!!!!!!!!!

[Flash]

you must have forgotten your Canadian experience already. lol

Yes, location does make a difference, as well as the mentality or culture of the humans around. Life is different everywhere there is life. No people think alike or behave alike, individually, and in group fashion. However, there is basic commonalities, such as fear, love, pain, disgust, pleasure, and a few more.

You will enjoy for sure the change. Being a Canadian, how much do I like going to warm countries where everybody live mainly outside and are apparently welcoming.

Now that you are relaxed and happy, let me tell you why I found disconcerting your judgment on Canadians. First, you were expecting us to be exactly like Americans. Eh no, the whole world is not American (i am glad about this), we have different laws and different ways of doing things.

Second, I have traveled quite a lot, not only traveled, but lived abroad. And believe me, even if cold, Canada is a nice country to live in (as long as you can afford 2 weeks per winter down south lol). Most people are sympathetic, violence is minimal (when comparing of course), women are quite free to go anywhere without too much danger. If you ask, you will rarely be refused help from passerby, except in very large cities.

So, ok for not liking the cold, but overall, your judgment was not correct. However, I do respect your guts of getting out of what felt wrong and taking all your family and doing what feels right.

I am sure Virgin Island is great too.
Flash

Have a good time

Edit: Rakhyt back in Texas would agree with you Target about the cold.;)

[Mark]

See, Fred? There's no telling where the impulse to contact your friend regarding PA will lead, now. Let's hope for the highest!

Excellent observations, Ulli, I think you are on to something big there that is hermetic in nature. Looking forward to your further thoughts on the matter ...

That is awesome, Target, glad you've been able to make that transition and that it is everything that you've hoped for. A beautiful space you and yours are in, enjoy it to the utmost and continue watching for the synchronicities!

EDIT: Yes, Flash, I do agree. LOL But I loved my time in Canada and I found Canadians to be everything you state here. I made some real friends up there and I enjoyed the beauty of the country, Quebec is an amazing space. Ontario was nice too. :)

[ulli]

Target, you reminded me of when I first arrived in Barbados.
I had left New York on November 18th, 1974, which was a Saturday, to fly to that tiny Caribbean island.
Everything changed for me...I felt as if I had finally come home.
I had booked one week, but ended up staying six weeks. Met the father of my son there, and he went back to England with me. Eight years later I moved there for good. I'm now a Barbados citizen although living in Costa Rica for the last 22 years...where I have residency status.
If I have to live on planet Earth, let it be in the tropics.
Folks, it can be done...If I could do it, anyone an.

[TargeT]

Tomorrow is my first day of work, for now I am headed out to enjoy one of the local restaurants; everywhere I look here I see things I can help with or contribute to; I've fallin in with a group of about 15 locals & went to the beach with some of them today.

Flash: my Canadian adventure was just that, no hard feelings about it despite my other post, sometimes I like to explore dramatic writing & that may have been one instance of it.

So far the islands seem like either the product of visualization (I did quite a bit of it, seeing myself here with positive feelings & my family surrounding me etc) or it was just meant to be; Canada was just a slice of my trips difficulty... Haha

Look, I am like you,
Just that I have to admit,
Inside, I am often I feel like a hermit.
Yes, adversity scares me.
The crazy world out there scares me.
My emotions juggle inside me...
Each tension makes me hedgeHog.

I know, life sucks,
Knocks you down,
Breaks you down, builds walls,
Our dreams fade away. What a fight!

And all the disordering.

But what can I do, I love music.
I play with harmonics,
Notes give me melody,
Yes, somehow I am an artist,
Music and Me we are magic.
For me, my senses is hearing,
Forbid to touching,
Can’t smell anything. Limited tasting,
Yeah, it all give me a lot of worrying.

This is my life,
Laughing, crying, and shouting,
Sometimes courage fails on me on,
When its time to move on.
Daddy and Mommy say:
That’s the way. Nobody has it his own way,
Love make you stronger,
Tenderness even stronger.
I need big hugs,
I need help, A hand,
A laugh, and a kif,
To stay positive.

We all have our dangers,
Everyone has challenges.
Everyone has pains and gains,
No worries, no hopes,
Breakings and blessings,
And fear of the future.

You, I am talking to you,
Tell me, is it really that crazy,
To think there always is worse,
To smile on, until we pass on?
Yes, You, I am talking to You,
We have to stand up,
And never stop loving us up,
Hold our hands, and hugs us up.

Lou, my name is Lou,
Look, I am like you,

Virgo full moon tonight (that's my sign!). It's going to be interesting! :)

http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/astrostarsarticles/the-cosmic-story-virgo-full-moon-2013

[astrid]

Sun today is Pisces 8:
A GIRL BLOWING A BUGLE

This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to be able to sound the call, to rally
people together, to know when to speak or “Blow her Bugle” to awaken others,
to wake up to realities going on in the world, join some cause, etc.
At times in your life, you are likely to feel the need to wake up those around
you, and, at times, perhaps be woken yourself. When situations get
bogged down in emotional or rational complexity and everyone just needs
to be rallying and going for the objective, you may be the one to let
everyone know. Sometimes this Symbol can show someone who makes a
lot of noise; justified or unjustified and they can get people moving.
Using simple, receptive innocence will get situations back on track.
Sounding the call. Awakening all to action. Loudspeakers, telephones,
announcements. Rise and shine! Leading the charge.
Resurrection. Proclamations. Whistle blowers.

The Caution: Unwarranted and disturbing noise. Showing off.
Trumpeting about oneself. Not listening to people.
Being annoying. Interrupting. Betraying confidences. Loud voice.

Will share a combination wonderful gift of sorts ... yet at the same time a really :doh: moment ...

Dropping of kiddies to school today I heard an awesome song I had never heard before.

From Jethro Tull in late 80's from an album that actually won a grammy award (beating out Metallica's first album). Very odd that cuz I really loved Jethro Tull and had their first couple albums but for whatever reason didn't get that one. Odder still is not even hearing this song.

Jumped timelines??? :bolt:

Missing time (as in *years*???)

Anyhoo ... thought I would share the moment ...

Full moon always makes me feel really surreal and lunatic and now that I have flu I'm really dizzy. I don't even have to the energy to meditate. I should try sleeping early on tonight, because my batteries need some serious recharing though I think that falling asleep won't be easy...

I had booked one week, but ended up staying six weeks. Met the father of my son there, and he went back to England with me. Eight years later I moved there for good. I'm now a Barbados citizen although living in Costa Rica for the last 22 years...where I have residency status.
If I have to live on planet Earth, let it be in the tropics.
Folks, it can be done...If I could do it, anyone an.

Seems like the right path for me someday as well Ulli. Been living here in NY for 50 years. Ill follow the sun.......

I know the man who own the software company and sold it to Carley for her to communicate. I knew what was happening as it was happening. When he told me about Carley communicating, he had tears in his eyes (we are talking of a fiftiysh rather business like) when describing what happened and how proud he was to have help some child overcoming her handicap.

When I realized my own was in trouble, at 2 1/2 and got a diagnosis at 41/2, I was litterally desperate. Tremendous unconditional love was already pouring out of me, it only got stronger, while I started to find work as a self employed to make enough money for her. I was going through a terrible divorce at the same time (the dad is rather narcissistic, still is) that had taken the best part of the 3 previous years and I had no money. Yet, my little one could not speak. I made a 10 years therapies plan and made/spent thousands as well (in he 6 numbers) for her to be able to speak, correct her motor impairments and her ADD. Contrarily to Carley, with mine, it worked.

Nowaday you would not much see any difference with normal children unless you have a careful eye or ear.

A few years ago, she told me what it felt like not to be able to speak properly, "being in jail" as she said and sad because other think you are stupid when you are not.

She is now a regular kid except that she is a very discipline, perseverant, hard worker and still has to study very hard with special help. She had to work sooooo hard at such a young age that it is now part of her. She had to develop other skills too and is very sensitive and perceptive, a natural philosopher.

She is also an arguing teenager, I love it soooooo much, to be able to argue with her. Most parents could not imagine that one could be happy to argue endlesly with their teenager. lol

You cannot imagine how much I admire those children. Life starts with so much difficulties for them, and the little progress they made are won with such hardship that I cannot do otherwise than have my full admiration.

So when my eyes fill with tears, those are compassion, empathy and profound understanding tears from a mother who felt so lonely so often, despite the great professsional help I got for her.

Thanks for this video, WF, we have, earth people, to know how much is involved with our lovely children.

A wrinkle in time. Three times in two days, the same thing happened. Wolfie walked by and seconds later, he walked by again in the same direction.

The first time on the first day, I thought I just didn’t notice him go one way and then come back around. The second time, I didn’t dismiss what I saw, and just left it alone. The next day, I recognized it was what the same as the day before. The difference was that I had an awareness because of the prior experiences.

I watched to see how I felt. Nothing. No fear, no delight. An inner knowing that is how it’s done, but I couldn’t say what that is. And then when on with my day.

I'm stranded again. Have gone through 2 starters and 4 ignitions in almost 3 months with 2 separate vehicles. I'm sure the mechanic is beginning to wonder. I told him maybe it's the solar flares. Having a lot of issues with electrical and mechanical things for the past few months.
Thank goodness for AAA and electricians.

Ok, i have to clean up the mess that was created after that fire that i had in December..
where has the time gone?? Crazy..
I have a big job ahead of me, and only until March 12th to do it,
after which hopefully it will be fire, what fire??
Lucky its only a small room and i have most of what i need to do it on hand.
So yes, i will be busy, clients half the day cleaning and painting the other half.
But, hey all good, that was a very close call, a tricky clean of a single room is
a small price to pay, considering what might have been.
I still think of all the solvents that were in that room, and the 20litre drum of kerosene..
man..

ok heads up .. for Aussies,

I feel refreshed today, yesterday was day with filled heavy energies. The full moon always take it's toll on me.

I don't know what has been happening to me (spiritual awakening I guess!), but I'm not the same person who I was a year ago. I'm not even the same person who I was a month ago. As each day passes by I feel more thankful than before. I am so thankful to be here now so that I can be in service to humanity. It feels good!

Hello Chester,

Please let us know how your son makes out. I've lost track of time. If not today, is coming up really soon?

On another note, from one Virgo to one that has a Virgo moon, my critical mind chatter has been on overdrive these past few weeks. Ugh. Finally, coming into a smooth landing.

Been obsessively working with Google Sketchup 8...
Once I start I can't stop.
But Im taking a quick break to ask Villagers to send healing energy to Yukondiva
Who is suffering from shoulder and back pain.
The current Mercury Mars conjunction is opposite her natal Pluto Uranus conjunction in Virgo,
and has opened an inter dimensional gate or portal through which these pains manifested.
Other than astrological aspects the are no other causes.

My sister-in-law's ordeal in the ocean was similar in nature...as she and Yukondiva have a similar birth chart.
She is back home now, and gave me an account of that mishap. Six of them swimming for more than two hours, they were not rescued until they had reached a reef. But when their boat sank they could not even see land at all, but guessed the direction. One of the people a man in his seventies. Probably would not have made it without lifevests.

My own chart shows no hard aspects right now, thankfully, although on Saturday I had the sun opposite my Virgo Saturn, and that brought lots of work, and feeling tired. Having many dreams at the moment, and in one of them the was this baby with a snotty nose...and the whole next day I was blowing my nose...not a cold, more like an allergy.
The astrologer whose video Paula posted just now also mentioned phlegm, so maybe it is part of that cluster in Pisces.
Happy to see Dan back, and also want to wish Dan 33 all the best for Hugo, and congratulations, LisaB, on the new baby.
Love, Love, Love.

For those who have been feeling some low energy on the Here and Now track. Im sending a magikal and mystical reiki healing tune that i created a lil over 3 years ago during my Kundalini Surge.

I understand English language pretty well - there's was a great deal of assumption in that statement but if I come back on it, I might violate a village rule thus I find it wiser not to.

For example, Flash stated no one asked me to change my new name a few pages back in this lovely thread. But if I mentioned to her she should consider a wee bit of investigation first before making such a statement OR if she had simply asked me if anyone had asked me to change my new poster name, I would have pointed her to the visitor messages one can find by going to my profile page, but I have learned to respond in this thread in that manner is all too often considered contentious.

I prefer to spend my posting time in threads where those who are more secure in who/what they are can get over themselves enough to have a real and serious discussion about real and serious matters and not just blame anything tricky that may arise on what house their moon might be aimed at.

This thread, as designed, is not the place for my posts. I love this thread for reading and watching the videos and the great pics - especially the pussy cat pictures - I love cats... but I cannot enter into any discussion in this thread because I operate on a different level and have different concerns than seem to be discussable here. That's the good thing about Avalon - over 10,000 threads.

I’ve returned from a hellish, yet fruitful experience. I asked myself why I became defensive when people said that New Agers only hinder the process to move from hive-mind to co-creators. In the 1970-80’s I read all the Carlos Castaneda books and the Seth material, so the language wasn’t brand new.

Well, over the last week or so, I took on more than I expected. Though, I’m glad I did. I read about 2/3 of the books below and connected some big dots in my personal life. I’m the first to say, there’s a fine line between knowledge and programming something into existence. But I’m here to experience life. Uncover it’s depths. Toss what’s false and unproductive.

I wasn’t aware that my body was coming up on “death-of-another-kind” because so many ah-ha’s flooded my consciousness. I had two bouts of pain over the last three days. I still feel like I was hit by a mack truck and have non-stop ringing in my ears.

One of those days I spent nine hours in bed lying on pillows because the mattress was to hard. I went from waves of pain, too avoiding pain with Light, which didn’t help because I understood on some level it was my job to be in this experience alone. Then I bravely entered the center of excruciating pain which was mostly in my heart region. When that did no good, I waited to die. I welcomed it. I must have dozed off.

Then for no known reason, I began to pull and cut cords of negativity while flashes of understanding poured forth. And on three separate occasions, I pulled darkness from my heart area to the point where I vomited. (Which I don’t do often.) I believe it wasn’t my imagination. Wolfie is still effected. He won’t eat and he shakes and doesn’t want to lay down. He sits in his bed until I try to make him lay down to sleep.

This is only a SMALL part of what I learned from the books below:

People that are inclined to have negative forces enter their lives from another or into oneself are those that follow the awaken path, caregivers, teachers, sensitive-types. They may have come from homes where there’s been abuse emotional, sexual and/or physically, and/or alcoholic parent(s) where boundaries are mutable. Some solutions are boundaries, and acknowledge awareness of red flags in the gut, to know it’s okay not to try to fix another.

The one section that caught my attention was that some synchronistic meetings are by negative design. In my case, I met my future father-in-law by a fluke. He happened to walk into the office and was asked to give me a ride to an interview. A month later, I’m invited to dinner by my new boyfriend. It was the same person from the office. Future father-in-law told his son this is the young lady I was talking about that I had wished you’d meet. Fast forward years, my new partner finds a place to live. Unaware, it’s the same place my first husband lived in. So some fifteen years later, my son shared the same bedroom as his dad.

I’ve written before where I filled my VW with whatever I could and bolted. What I didn’t write was because weeks earlier, my in-laws took my son and said he was on vacation at their aunt's place. I couldn’t get him back until I made the marriage work.

Hubby was heavy in Eckankar, only wanted to listen to Moody Blues until late into the night and drink. I didn’t know who he was. No matter how clean the house was, or how elaborate a meal I cooked, or how many times I cut the lawn, wall papered, stripped the varnish and stained cupboards in our new home, none of it was good enough. This one evening a few days after I got my son back, hubby came up the stairs with a guttural yell for no reason but to say he was home. His eyes were scary. His face was ugly. As soon as he left for work the next day, I filled the VW and bolted. It was a year later that I did have a chance to ask what happened because nothing big really went wrong in those five years together. He did say that he didn’t know what came over him.

Reading this material was a positive experience. Though, I’ll hold off for a couple of days or weeks to go back to it. I have a renew sense of how to dialogue with borderline psychopaths or one’s that are unaware that they are shrouded in dark energy. I no longer accept blame for an exchange that quickly goes awry from family members. It’s a relief to know why behaviors have escalated from them as if I’m living in a dark, slow motion movie. And most importantly, the more Light one opens to, one may encounter these darker energies.

My conclusions for now: in my world there is Love and Light, but it’s not the New Agey kind. They, the loved ones and the ones I’m yet to meet, just haven’t crossed over to this new dimension. It’s just that simple. AND be kind and rewind is no longer my solution for dark behaviors nor psychopaths.

These are the books I mentioned:


“The Dark Side of Cupid: Love Affairs, the Supernatural, and Energy Vampirism 2012,” By: Eve Lorgen
“2000 The Love Bite: Alien Interference in Human Love Relationships,“ By: Eve Lorgen
“How to Spot a Dangerous Man Before You Get Involved,” By: Sandra L. Brown

Also read free pdf of Karla Turner, Ph.D. I had seen her full lecture about a year ago. Back then it was too much to take in. Though I did set aside fear long enough to take it in on one level.

I’ve downloaded these but a little gun shy to continue for now:


“Bringers of the Dawn,” by: Barbara Marciniak
“In Search of the Miraculous,” by: P.D. Ouspensky

Healing energies to Yukondiva. Hope you feel better soon.

Peace, blessings, love and safety to the people of Australia, Astrid.

Great news. Congratulations Lisab on your new little baby nephew. What a blessing and delight. I bet he is adorable.:angel:

Hey folks. Hope everyone is good.

Using my new tablet computer. It's a beaut! At my daughter's place. Poor thing had to wait all day at court for me, but syncs happened as it turned out she knew the public defender personally. That's the only thing that saved me from spending the night in jail. At 6 p.m. I was finally released to her. Cannot go home until court case is resolved, at least a few months. It was an eye-opener to have all the police interventions in my relationship in the last ten years read out in a list by the PA. Like the Prosecuting Attorny says, it's been a rocky relationship.
Here I sit now and wondering - where do I go from here?

Been feeling like the man in this picture lately. At the job, I'm getting bombarded with so many people having a really, really hard time.

Other days, the storm is inside of me. I let it ride and stay in my bubble so that I do not hurt the people around me by bursting out.

Today, I feel very calm. Mother Nature is having her own storm. Another 10-15 cm of snow coming with high winds.

I have been reading in Avalon and see that others are feeling like this too. It is a comfort, because I know that I Am not alone. Thank you All for being there.

It's good. It's good. It's goooooood.

Still loving y'a. :love:

I have a big favor to ask everyone here. My 18 year old daughter, as some of you know, just moved out a month ago for the first time. Big step for us both. Unfortunately it’s not been going very well for her. I don’t even know exactly what best I can do for her at this point. Astrologically I can see things coming to a head but probably a pattern here that must play itself out (it may take some time – Pluto is at 11 Capricorn and her Sun in her natal is at 18 Cancer). As a mom quite painful to watch. She has started drinking everyday, which, up to 2 months ago she did not do at all. She started taking anti-depressants (Zoloft) and anxiety medication (Quanapin) last summer. Most disturbing of all to me is that when she went back to the doctor last time he was angry that she was using her 15 pills up in 15 days, which I guess she is only supposed to use when she has anxiety, which in her case is almost all the time. So what did he do? He doubles the dosage, gives her a one month supply and then tells her it’s the last she is going to get?!!!

Things have not been working out with her roommate so we got her another apartment which she is to move into this weekend but she may even be voluntarily hospitalizing herself. She doesn’t work because she is still going to school and receiving survivor’s benefits (her dad passed away from cancer in 2008) until July. We are moving to a rural area in a month and she knows she can always come with us but of course, not wanting to follow any rules and not wanting to be out in the sticks, she would not come with us unless she has no other choice. She received Reiki sessions from my teacher when she was younger which seemed to help her a lot, and of course I continue to do what I can but feel I am too close to the situation and I think she needs more than I can personally give her. I know the healing doesn’t come from me but it does take a certain amount of focus and I’m kinda upset myself over this. Wish I was better at letting people live their own lives but it’s not always that easy. How much to help, what is enabling, I too am finding my way I guess. But I know we have some outstanding healers here and if any of you feel called I would be ever so grateful. There is a lot more I could tell you about her background but I think this is enough for now. But if you energetically pick up on some things I would be happy to clarify by PM. This has to do with a boyfriend from her past that was definitely into far less than love and light at the time, and she has communicated with him recently again. Was not a good door to open, let’s just put it that way. And, if you may want to point out something I may have overlooked about my own place in this, I can take it.

Also Justoneman (Chester) you have been on my mind with your son’s court appearance I believe this Thursday. I will definitely be sending what I can your way, for a good outcome there. If nothing else, at least I feel I can express myself here with people who do care, and that is a good feeling. Thank you

By the way, her name is Ariel.

Hey folks. Hope everyone is good.

Using my new tablet computer. It's a beaut! At my daughter's place. Poor thing had to wait all day at court for me, but syncs happened as it turned out she knew the public defender personally. That's the only thing that saved me from spending the night in jail. At 6 p.m. I was finally released to her. Cannot go home until court case is resolved, at least a few months. It was an eye-opener to have all the police interventions in my relationship in the last ten years read out in a list by the PA. Like the Prosecuting Attorny says, it's been a rocky relationship.
Here I sit now and wondering - where do I go from here?

Hi Ernie
From my tablet computer to yours:
here is my question
Where would you like to go from here?
Maybe this is your chance to become a writer after all?
As a writer there is nowhere you can't go, the possibilities are endless...
Just a matter of choosing.

[ulli]

Yesterday my shrink took me for a walk around the town of Orosi and then to the cemetery.
Wanted to know where I wanted to go from here...which is why Ernie's post struck a chord .
She is still not getting it that someone like me ended up in this small town at the ass of the world
And I had to explain to her firmly: you think Im here because destiny brought me here, but this is not true.
It was by choice. There were always other options, and I always had enough capital in the last 30 years to
pick and chose where I wanted to be. I'm well aware of my freedom to choose.
I'm here because I fell in love with this valley over twenty years ago,
but it took quite a while before they installed high-speed Internet.
The moment Internet arrived we moved here and as a confirmation my father-in-law gave us a field
of two acres right by the river
And now our dream is to build our house there and also some cottages.
So there is a clear plan.

goog luck spiritwind. I do not think I would be a good adviser, cause I have too much compassion in cases with teenager, having my own here.

I know what I would do even if my daughter would not like it. But our case is surely different, the kind of relationship is always different between different parents and their children.

Ok, I will tell you, compassion makes me spill it out: I would camp in front of her door until she comes home with me - f ck the job, my daughter is first. I would make sure she is ashamed of me in front of all her friends, by camping there, on the steps of her door. I would tell her exactly with full of love what I see from her two addictions and how much I love her. I would tell her what I see in her old worhtless crap boyfriend and explain her spirituality not in soft words, but in realistic words, with reduced words, not speaking too much. I would tell her that I never let her down as a child, and won't as an adult. Once home, I would get psychological help for both of us.

She knows how stubborn I am and mostly how much I love her (no, she think she knows). She already knows that when I bite into something and do not give up, it is because it is utterly important, in regular times being a relaxed mom. So, she would be pis sed, but I am heavry, she could not push me away from her door lol. ( I am truly the style who would order my food in front of her door, not to get away).

I would be accused of intruding, made feel guilty, be screamed at, and I would not care knowing that when addiction is involved, time is paramount at the beginning and heavy involvement is often necessary at the beginning (I usually turn difficult stuff into a comedy, so from pi ssed, we end up laughing). Apart from addiction, I would be completely biaised on her side, against her boyfriend and everybody else. No speech, no guilt put on her, no mention of my anxieties at that time (but yes, later, after addiction is gone), just completely on her side (reality and evaluations of circumstances comes later), but not for drugs and alcool, no comprehension for this.

Personnaly I consider that children are adults at 21, not at 18 as the law suggest, therefore at 18 my job is not finished yet. They are adult when the spiritual body is starting to integrate more fully. Adulthood starts at 21, and is fully accomplished around 27. The brain frontal lobes are not fully developed before 21 anyhow, so nature dictate the same.

But this is me, with my daughter, based on the very great difficulties we already faced together, so the interactions are already solid. Other circumstances with other children may be different.

Love to you and Ariel,

Flash

Hi WhiteFeather,

I followed the vid provided to your site and beyond to where you posted a link to this video. Based on what I'm reading at the Village, for myself, others that share in PM's or forum, this vid is may help explain physical and emotional upheavals. I'd suggest to ignore the word 'ascension' or replace with 'solar activity' or 'evolving human'.

Peace,
Paula

For those who have been feeling some low energy on the Here and Now track. Im sending a magikal and mystical reiki healing tune that i created a lil over 3 years ago during my Kundalini Surge. It helped me tremendously. Thought id share with my Kolas. Works great with some incense and a nice comfortable place where you can relax and recharge your solar batteries.

Thank you Flash, best honest answer I could have possibly asked for. From the heart for sure. It's exactly what I feel like doing and kept telling myself was going to cause too much drama. But, maybe as you say, F what anybody else thinks. Maybe sometimes drama is good.

Edit: You know Flash, you just helped me to realize something I guess I had forgotten. I moved out when I was 16 and nobody really did care. I do care but I guess I'm not always sure what the appropriate response is (I came to realize I had learned a high tolerance for inappropriate behavior from what I experienced in my own child-hood). Maybe I am subconsciously so afraid of doing the wrong thing that sometimes I do nothing at all. I guess sometimes I have to risk being wrong and just go for it. Wow, quite the aha moment.

[Flash]

Go for it with complete heart, exclusively based on heart for the intention, brain for the how to do it. I would put my full passion into it, restrained only by "what is the best process to have a major impact".

If you go for it, go fully with all of yourself, something she may not have seen in you before when you became laid back. Wouldn't you have loved to have had someone completely entirely dedicated to you with more love than you have ever seen, and helping through your bottomless sorrow when it would have been so necessary. I would of, so I would do it for my own daughter. There is no mistake in their own heart when we are entirely rawfully true to them and ourselves.

Love to you both, truly.

I’m mixing kefir in my fruit and vegetable juicer drinks. Time to take it to the next level. So, I’m waiting on the kefir grains to come in and make my own. I found this informative site that cover everything from flat rate shipping to free newsletters and eBook with recipes, to videos, to answers to any possible question you have. The information is on the "We Are Family (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?54320-We-Are-Family&p=641413&viewfull=1#post641413)" thread.

Below are the 9 products included there. I may try Kombucha next.

I press my vegetables, but this site includes information on cultured vegetables. This is a snippet:

“When you ferment or culture foods, you make them better! Fermented foods are foods that have been cultured by beneficial organisms. In the right conditions, beneficial organisms feast on the food, producing beneficial acids, and transforming the food into something better. This culturing develops complex flavors and pleasing textures, while the food becomes more nutritious than it was before. And the acids preserve and protect the food from spoiling. It is really a miraculous process!”

Products presented


Yogurt
Sourdough
Kefir (both dairy and non-dairy)
Kombucha
Cheese Making
Cultured Vegetables
Buttermilk
Cultured Soy
Seed Sprouting

Morning Villagers. A little rainy here in the east. So Im watching this video, a good example of living in 4d and breaking away from 3d, Living in an Ascensional Plane or A nice Comfy Vortex.........or as Dolores Cannon says A New Earth. This video sums it up pretty good for me. Give it a minute. Youll understand what im trying to say. Keep an eye on the 3d goings on in the background... Peace.

I am sorry you did delete your post. I would have liked to read it, from someone like you, who went through it all. Why no try it in a pm??

[Malerogro]

My heart is with you and your daughter Spiritwind!
I am not a healer or parent so there is not much more I can do :)

Maybe it helps your daughter to know that she still has years to grow up as Flash pointed out (thank God I still have a year :p) and that not everything has to be perfect right away.
Also í understand that you are worried given her anxiety and drinking though try not to make her feel like you have no confidence in her moving out or growing up. I am not saying that you have no confidence, but she must not get the impression you don't no matter how much you worry. That is the only advice I can give from own experience. I moved out and to a different city for my studies as soon as I turned 18. After the first week a friend blurted out to my parents that we went out till very 'early' and my father immediately said that he had no confidence whatsoever in me living on my own and in me succeeding in my studies. To clearify; I have been the most docile teenager you can imagine. I always did my best in school, did no drugs or alcohol, and never went out (now I am thinking I should have!). Also this particular night I stopped drinking and made sure me and my friend got home safe. The point is that the statement of no-confidence from my father hit me very hard, and it probably would have done all the same even when he would have had more reason to doubt me. I almost wanted to fail when he said that but than worse than he could ever imagine, just to get back at him and give him a reason to be scared. No worries, I did not act on this impulse ;) I don't know what message your daughter is sending to you or whether there even is a message to you? It seems that in situations like this message is often interpreted differently by parents and children which leads to miscommunication. Just food for thought..
The full effort Flash suggests sounds amazing and probably necessary, I wish someone would have done that for me but I never ask for help (not even indirectly by causing problems). It seems like a difficult position to be in as a parent. I very much hope you can figure out a way to reach her at this point! :hug:

Hey Paula......That dreaded A word Ascension. I agree. Inelia sums it up here. Ascension -Is The Expansion of Awareness. It works for me. ;)

[RunningDeer]

I have a big favor to ask everyone here. My 18 year old daughter, as some of you know, just moved out a month ago for the first time. Big step for us both. Unfortunately it’s not been going very well for her. I don’t even know exactly what best I can do for her at this point. Astrologically I can see things coming to a head but probably a pattern here that must play itself out (it may take some time – Pluto is at 11 Capricorn and her Sun in her natal is at 18 Cancer).

By the way, her name is Ariel.

Hi Spiritwind,

Oh man. I blew this one. I read the first few lines and my fingers got to typing. Then I went back for more of your back story. I’ll still post this. Also, I’ve shared how the day before my 18th birthday, I filled a brown paper back with some clothes and a few books and hitch hiked to the next state over. One last point, I was involve with a man to where it reached the point that it was safer to jump from a second story window. That’s when I made a promise to myself to move on. Within the week, I had a new place and when he knocked, knocked and knocked at the unopened door, his last comment was a meek “good-bye”. Where am I going with this? I’m a Cancer.

I’m a Cancer. When the shell gets tosses around and I’m down-side-up, I’ve been known to do the impossible.

It’s a secret only known to Cancers. We have this inner fortitude that we don’t announce because we like to give the impression that we are shy and retiring. That may seem deceptive, but often we are unaware of our abilities. That is until push comes to shove. Which usually comes from within.

We’re creative to the max. We’re the shell-ones. A clan of creative invention. When I get tossed about and down-side-up...like a T-shirt on backwards, I flip it right-side-up and squirm back round again. You can see why us crustacean have been around a long, long time.

With a little bit of encouragement like, “If anyone can do it, I know you can,” the Coach sits back. She nods and gives the thumbs up every once in a while, as the crab creates sparkly miracles.

With heart and shell,
Paula

I find this to be a powerful statement to share with those whom I care for: “I believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself.”

PS I'll send Ariel loving encouragement for healthy choices and boundaries.

Good morning (where I am)...haven't been on PA every day as I'm used to, and just made a "Drive-thru" of the last two pages on this thread. A few things in my life right now parallel things being written about here...

Paula my book list is very similar to yours - just started Bach remedies which are de-toxing and amplifying everything I don't want to feel. Smooch to Wolfie. You've got him at your heels on the yellow brick road! (and I've got some sprouts growing and have the Kefir grains in the fridge...).

Parenting...gad...my child is alive but I have no details.

Ernie - write!! Submitting is a full time job which is the only reason I stopped...

Ulli - your plan sounds beautiful!

My plan this week is to stay on track, stay out of victim thoughts, and maybe get a second job while there still some available.

WF, thanks for the inspirations! Thanks all.

O.K., exiting the Drive-thru!!:wave:

[ulli]

Hey Paula......That dreaded A word Ascension. I agree. Inelia sums it up here. Ascension -Is The Expansion of Awareness. It works for me. ;)

I know what you mean about the word "Ascension" and dread...as if it has become a dirty word.
One has to be aware who one is talking to when using it...some people took it to mean something
physical....like those Jesus pictures of him floating into the sky.

[RunningDeer]

Yukondiva,

You’ve been through great change: physical move, cigabutt withdrawals, hubby time adjustment, etc. I can’t help but wonder if it’s the physical body that’s resisting what you innately know. Namely, what's needed for your on-going Light Journey. The physical layer is the last to accept this change. Good news, bad news, and back again to the good news.

I alway see these times as leaps and bounds ahead. Often, it’s after the dust clears, the timeline makes sense.

I’m sending Light-Love music your way.

Peace,
Paula

Astrologically I can see things coming to a head but probably a pattern here that must play itself out (it may take some time – Pluto is at 11 Capricorn and her Sun in her natal is at 18 Cancer).

By the way, her name is Ariel.

Hi Spiritwind,

Oh man. I blew this one. I read the first few lines and my fingers got to typing. Then I went back for more of your back story. I’ll still post this. Also, I’ve shared how the day before my 18th birthday, I filled a brown paper back with some clothes and a few books and hitch hiked to the next state over. One last point, I was involve with a man to where it reached the point that it was safer to jump from a second story window. That’s when I made a promise to myself to move on. Within the week, I had a new place and when he knocked, knocked and knocked at the unopened door, his last comment was a meek “good-bye”. Where am I going with this? I’m a Cancer.

I’m a Cancer. When the shell gets tosses around and I’m up-side-up, I’ve been known to do the impossible.

It’s a secret only known to Cancers. We have this inner fortitude that we don’t announce because we like to give the impression that we are shy and retiring. That may seem deceptive, but often we are unaware of our abilities. That is until push comes to shove. Which usually comes from within.

We’re creative to the max, cuz we don’t live in a box. We’re the shell-ones. A clan of creative invention. When I get tossed about and down-side-up, like a backwards T-shirt, I flip it right-side-up and squirm back round again. You can see why us crustacean have been around a long, long time.

With a little bit of encouragement like, “If anyone can do it, I know you can,” the Coach sits back. She nods and gives the thumbs up every once in a while, as the crab creates sparkly miracles.

With heart and shell,
Paula

I find this to be a powerful statement to share with those whom you care for: “I believe in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself.”

PS I'll send Ariel loving encouragement for healthy choices and boundaries.

I don't have time for much of an update but thanks to you, Flash, and Marianne (I'm sure others as well) words of wisdom to reflect on there was a good outcome so far to today's drama. I took a very good family friend who is like an older sister to her who has been through some very similar experiences with the medications she is taking so she was able to really hear what she had to say. She is willing to let me go with her to her next doctors appointment so some needed questions can be asked. Paula, you nailed it about the cancerian thing. Here is what she just messaged me to read on her facebook status:

Even through this trying time, I know I'll be just fine. I actually find beauty in this pain, because it's part of what makes me human. And as I'm getting through this, I'm only growing stronger.
Silver lining.

This is the peak I can almost feel and touch from the hotel I am at in Urubamba looking at Pumahuanca.
I will be climbing up there and leaving a 'medicine wheel'...You are All with me : )

My Friend's home I am working on is up the mountain road about a mile above Urubamba just past what is designated as a small mountain village of Pumahuanca. I look back at this peak from the house...it is basically right there in the southwest direction with another range on the other side of the road from the house : )

The name of the glacier on the mountain Puma Huanca is called Sotuq,(sue-tuck) in Quechua it means drip or tear drop, since it looks like two tear drops falling down a face.

Oh glad to hear it, Spiritwind! Good chance Ariel is closer to the wellness side now. I have a good feeling about it. Maybe some more bumps along the way, but lets hope for speed bumps, too. The kind where it'll slow her down enough to hav-a-look.

There are so many pressures on teenagers and young adults. I give lots of credit for any parent trying their best to allow their kids to fly, but be there with consistency, boundaries, compassion and sometimes tough love.

I’ve told this story before but it’s worth repeating. Not for you, but for those that may come across this post. One year the kids in my class were comparing their parents and how strict they were or were not. It was very telling. They defined the cool parents as the ones that were more strict and not push overs (their words). They’re friends were there backing up what they’d say. They chimed in, they were really nice, but strict. My interpretation was loving/caring boundaries and consistency.

Hearts,
Paula

Hey Y'all! Been on the road again. Listening to good ol' Warren Zevon here and now, My Jesus Was A Crossmaker. His cover of a Judee Sill song, an early friend of his. Not a version of it on Youtube, so here's another:

To balance out the above, here's one much more lighthearted, but yet solemn, Monkey Wash, Donkey Rinse:

"Hell is only half-full, room for you and me...." Reminds me of Huck Finn and Jim, if any of y'all've read that book. At the end of it, Huck's Aunt tells him he's going to Hell if he remains friends with Jim. He replies, "Well, I'll just go to hell!"

[Carmody]

One of my favorites, in full. Finally.

Grab the popcorn, turn off the lights, get ready for a ride. Put your seatbelt on. No spoilers. Oh yes. It's a love story, oddly enough. About 20 minutes into the film, it goes full tilt, not one second's break after that - Every second counts.

Where does stomach food end and head food begin?:

To me it just says....CANCER IN A CAN.

I guess seeing potential illness in everything is a hazard of the healing profession.
Well, I'm the same, most of the time, but not in this case ....
given our lousy Internet connections in both Barbados and Costa Rica.

I always see several processes running parallel at all times...
while technology is becoming more and more refined
humans will become more and more resistant to its negative effects, simply by necessity.
Something which can be learnt. People are very strong and can quickly adapt to unbelievable conditions.

But I understand what you mean...you are a healer...illness is part of your everyday reality...
My husband is a healer, too, and he sees potential illness and potential accidents everywhere
He sometimes forgets how large the world of good health is, how many people never get sick,
how many recover without his help, and how much right thinking controls these factors.

[Flash]

To add to Astrid, to me it is just control in a can. Add this up to chemtrail.

Talking of chemtrails and their aluminum content, I saw yesterday in tele-university that extensive studies have been done, very extensive and long term ones, to see il aluminum in the environment and later in the brain was a factor in Azheilmer. The answer is a loud conclusive no, it does not cross the blood brain barrier at all. Not sure it will be the case with nano aluminum.

I think I can breathe today. What a relief.

Oh, Flash, I was touched by what you said...that you would have liked to have read my post before I deleted it. You are kind. I'm not sure it would have helped at all. If I had thought anything I had to say at that moment would have helped, I would have gladly shared.

But with all the new insights and all these new experiences that are finding their way into my consciousness, I get a bit befuddled. Befuddled could be roughly translated as confused, but that doesn't do the word justice.

I have been finding it difficult to express myself in any coherent way, these experiences are very difficult for me to communicate with words. And then, when I am able to communicate them, I feel like I might be distancing someone who has been my friend. Yeah, shadow work there. But I would never want to alienate anyone.

When I look at my experience here, as it relates to my daughters' experience here, I see other aspects than I used to. My understanding has changed drastically over the past year.

For example, never in my life had I given reincarnation a second thought. I didn't believe in it. That gave way to a more open way of thinking, but still not acceptance. I went from "reincarnation does not exist" to "maybe human beings are souls that lived in heaven (before I realized that heaven as I had previously believed does not exist in the way previously believed) before they came here" to "holy sh!t I've been here before (memories)" to "my daughters and I are souls that came her together with lessons to learn."

That knowledge has blown me away, and has opened me up to possibilities I never would have even pondered...not in a million years.

When K was growing up, I did not have the slightest clue that any of that existed. Therefore, while doing the best I could with what I had to work with, I had no idea there was a bigger picture than what I was seeing. I simply did not. Now, I see that she is a soul on a path, here with her own unresolved issues to (hopefully for her) resolve. My role is HUGEly different. All of a sudden, (it feels like all of a sudden) I see her as a full-grown soul here to play out her own story. And this complicates our relationship in ways I don't think I could begin to explain.

As an example, Little One has been staying with me for a couple of months. She has recently thrown a bit of a fit, figuratively stomped her feet and said "he belongs with me, I am his mother! This is long enough. He is coming home in a couple of weeks."

Now, before considering what her path might be, and what Little One's path might be, I would have weighed my choices differently. Probably. I can see myself erring on the side of caution and considering legal action to keep him here. However, I know that there have been things taking place behind the scenes, and there is growth on the spiritual level, and on her path she has a son, and they probably have an agreement of sorts, and I hesitate to step in so permanently. Allowing her to play out her story, while watching ever so carefully, takes a more immediate and important role than jumping in the middle of things.

And even with all that said, I don't know the right thing to do when it comes to my own children, so spiritwind's plight left me ... wishing I could help but feeling like nothing I could say would do that.

I'm still in the middle of the soup myself. There was a point where K knew that I would handcuff myself to her and accompany her to school if I needed to keep her out of trouble. But to be honest with you, I doubt I would do that now. My parenting style also evolved to a less put-my-foot-down approach. The older I get, and the older my girls get, the more I see myself sitting back and letting them try to clean up their own messes. And knowing how messy to let things get before I step in...well, I do not feel so wise these days.

That's why any parent has my respect these days, this is a tough job. For me, there is no more clear-cut right way or wrong way to do things. I've seen kids whose parents are the scum of the earth turn out to be amazing people. And I've seen some amazing parents raise children who end up being the scum of the earth. That gives more validity to my own conclusions (at this moment, I reserve the right to change those without notice - haha), that there is always something playing out behind the scenes that I am probably not aware of.

Here and Now...it is confusing to try to make sense of the experiences I am having. Sometimes, and I think, for me, this is the better approach actually, I don't try to make sense of things at all. I just watch as things unfold and hope everything makes sense later, in hindsight.

See? Hahahaha, I have to chuckle at myself, because after all the expression, I am not sure that made a lick of sense.

Much Love,

Closing out the story ...

We won't mention this to my wife right???

The lady in the Billy Joel post was the one I *should* have married but was too young, stupid and way overfilled with my own oats.

On the brighter side I recognized I was not ready to be commited to one woman (regardless of my complete understanding I could never do better) ... and I did not want to be unfaithful ... ever ...

not Billy Joel ... just adding the last chapter here (and now ... and you villagers are the first to hear this sorry tale) ...

Thanks for telling 1Many, in your own way.
I also have full admiration for dedicated parents, whatever the outcome seems to be. This is a difficult job.


But with all the new insights and all these new experiences that are finding their way into my consciousness, I get a bit befuddled. Befuddled could be roughly translated as confused, but that doesn't do the word justice.


Thank you for the explanation above, I would not have understood befuddled. It made it much easier.


For example, never in my life had I given reincarnation a second thought. I didn't believe in it. That gave way to a more open way of thinking, but still not acceptance. I went from "reincarnation does not exist" to "maybe human beings are souls that lived in heaven (before I realized that heaven as I had previously believed does not exist in the way previously believed) before they came here" to "holy sh!t I've been here before (memories)" to "my daughters and I are souls that came her together with lessons to learn."

That knowledge has blown me away, and has opened me up to possibilities I never would have even pondered...not in a million years.


For reincarnation and coming in with a package alerady written and a plan or mission already written, I would not have thought of it younger but some of my dear friends made sure I thought of it starting in my late 20's early 30's. So when I got my daughter, much later on, I was very aware of those possibilities. As I grew older, I started to see reincarnation with a different eye too. I actually presently see it in a non time basis (no before no after all now).


When you look at the flower of life, for me, lifes are all the nodules linking the differents parts, they are all there at the same time, together, the being, us, being the whole flower. Therefore, if I change something in one life, it will impact all others instantaneously, in all dimensions. I will impact past, present and future lifes if looked at it from earths time base eyes.
So yes, we come with the packages of other lifes (past, present and futur) and a mission to do something for the good of all, and at the same time, we can act on the actual life and have an impact on the package with came in with.

http://sandramunro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/flower_of_life.jpg

Based on this thinking and other experiences, I was absolutely sure my daughter and I were linked at the soul level, throughout the whole flower, in every nodule. Our contract IS together and the mission ensuing too. So, everytime I think of her or when I react to her, most of the time i do have this inner feeling of soul connection and the shimmering colors of possibilities and necessities flashing inside me. The agreement between us was of team work, and for me helping her out of dreadful circumstances, almost paying with my life a few times, which was fine by me, albeit very difficult.

So yes, I would camp in front of her place, because at the present time, I know it would be tranformed into a laughable comedy, including any addiction she would have. In two years from now, the shimmering colors could be different as well as the path I would take. It is different for each parent as well.

As for any other incursion in her life, I will do my job as parent, protection and open education to survive here (which meant very specialised skills for special needs for mine), will be a friend for the rest if she wants to, and respect her own soul development at all time (almost). She is the one to decide and have the final say. She did even at 5, with other words and ways.

To me, in 3 D, part of the experience is seeing how intervention works and how good or bad it is, for what you do or you plan. It does work when we are given the permission by the child. And I do ask for it. You would not imagine how often I asked, giving the reasons, explaining in words she would catch, role playing, everything you can imagine. I got her out of being shut off from this world by not being able to communicate (partial aphasia) and pull her out of light autism, dipping my hand deep inside her and pulling her out, but always with her permission, except for a few times which I regretted quite a lot. When given the permission, I always had her full cooperation, which made the whole difference in the world.

So, of course, it will be different with other kids. And the basic contract may be different too.

You always make full of sense 1, at least when it comes to raising children ;) (don't know for the rest :p), parents do follow your wandering ways of thinking, we are all in the same situation.

However, I wonder if I make sense, since I stepped away from child raising topics withing the child raising topic.

[1inMany]

Calz, you are a dear soul. I had a love like that once, I loved this young man like I never loved before, nor since. He was discovering himself at the time, and though we shared some quite amazing times, he eventually discovered he was gay. You can't really argue with that. It was a special soul connection, to be sure. I find myself hoping you have a special memory or two locked up in a secret place, and that you still enjoy those without regret.

Yes, Flash, I have recently found myself on the outer edge of understanding many things, time being one. It boggles my mind that everything is complete, yet is still unfolding. And that no matter how things unfold, they will arrive, or already have arrived at completion. I looked up befuddled, because I didn't like the rough translation to confused. Baffled is a good synonym, and baffle and boggle are quite similar, haha.

I live, also, in a seeming state of upheaval. So the common challenge for me among the different learning opportunities that have presented themselves is to trust my gut, my intuition, my sense of things. I remember PurpleLama's towel, "don't panic," and his frequent reminders that "It's okay." I try to keep those in the forefront of my mind, because without them I easily forget that all is complete and all is related, like you eloquently expressed. (Yes, sweetie, you make perfect sense.)

It's funny to me, odd, that when I had no conscious knowledge of matters outside the five senses, I did well enough with situations to build some confidence in my abilities...specifically with children. Lordy, I've worked with children for as long as I can remember. It started in my teens. Actually, it must be my soul's path to be surrounded by them all the time. True, there is no feeling in the world like what comes over me when I'm thrust into a situation allowing me to help. I could sit and make promises to myself that I'm not going through any more of this child- or adolescent- related crap...that I'm weary and I am tired and I'm not going through any more...and still I know that something comes over me, a love and a compassion beyond description. And it takes over.

Random musings, again, here and now...

Much Love,

[dan33]

A wrinkle in time. Three times in two days, the same thing happened. Wolfie walked by and seconds later, he walked by again in the same direction.

The first time on the first day, I thought I just didn’t notice him go one way and then come back around. The second time, I didn’t dismiss what I saw, and just left it alone. The next day, I recognized it was what the same as the day before. The difference was that I had an awareness because of the prior experiences.

I watched to see how I felt. Nothing. No fear, no delight. An inner knowing that is how it’s done, but I couldn’t say what that is. And then when on with my day.

Talking of loves that could have been....
so here is the man I would have darned any number of socks for:
we hung out together....he was in love with my (then) husband,
and I was in love with him...
I wonder how I would see him now that the obsession is gone....

Here is a picture I took of Michael in 1978 (age 30)

16 Goats in a Tree

Goats crack me up.
They just do not look like they are designed for climbing trees,
but there you have it.

Missed and lost loves,
well let me say that i had 2 great loves,
but the timing was all wrong.
I was twisted up for such along time over
both of these men, but then i realized, hey
at least i got to experience those huge highs and incredible lows,
in this incarnation.
I have actually had a very full life, relationship speaking,
just the last 7 or 8 years i have decided that its much more fulfilling to be
bonded to spirit and the creator. I suspect it would be near impossible for
me to find someone that could come anywhere close to that type of bond.
My standards these days are just too high.
But strange things do and can happen, so i must also be cautious of
saying things can't happen, relationships happen mostly when you are
not looking and they are the last thing on your mind.. IME anyways..


................................

Here and how, today I'm practicing my manifesting skills.
I have a sick friend that i am sponsoring on a retreat that
is in a couple of weeks. I know the person running it,
so i have some slack when it comes to when moneys are
due etc, so it should be an easy ask.
Today i will work on a ritual for this task, then let the light of infinite intelligence
take care of the details.

Love you all

Goats will surprise you. Hardy creatures.

Hi Paula
I saw these argan trees way back in Morocco. The goats get to eat the olive-like fruit and when they've finished with them the undigested kernels are easier to pick and process to make argan oil.

[astrid]

Lisa, Abbie is in my prayers

hugs
Astrid

[ulli]

Wow Lisa. Sending prayers now.
It happened to me as well....twice, in fact. The first time was a couple of weeks after I gave birth,
and they stopped it with pills.
The second time was in 97, years later,
and that event ended in an emergency operation the next day.
Lets hope your sister won't have to go that far.

Hmm...The Wiki page article plays down the goats' role in kernel extraction. I wonder why?
What's there to hide? After all, with beavers butt juices being harvested out in the open...

Quick call out as rushing out door to work, my lift is waiting. My sister Abbie has been rushed back to hospital, she's haemorrhaging. Please help. Thank you guys.

Hi Lisab, how is doing your sister Abbie? Where is she on the map? is she still bleeding? I received some shamanic gift from my grand dad and his American Indian mom for bleeding, I just do not know where to direct it. If she ist still bleeding, send me the city she is in by pm. Thanks


And a strange comment regarding this: there is some people on the planet who have a gene mutation concerning bleeding: their body will create blood cloth easily, over coagulation. The gene is very specific and it happened only on one place on the planet, from a small village at the border of Holland and Danemark. Those with that mutation all come from that village originally. I have that gene. So on one side, the gift, (my dad side), on the other side the gene (my mom side).

My great grand mother who raised my mom knew that she was from a scandinavian country but did not know from where exactly.

The story goes like this: they were in a boat and they sunk at the entrance of the St-Lawrence river, in upper Quebec. The survivors, including the boat pilot, were rescued by some French Canadians in a small village and taken in. They could not communicate, so the French called them Pilots, the name remained (all the Pilote in the province comes from this boat, knowingly or not).

My great grand mother had heard that their original name was Darwar (whichi would be Danes in Dane I presume). That is all she knew. She was a rescued infant, or something like this, so she did not know more.

Therefore, when I had my daughter tested, they asked me if I had genetic mutation in my family. Because of my mom health issues (trombosis when pregnant), I had been tested when pregnant, I said yes, I have that gene mutation. The doctor laugh and told me "do you know that you come from a small village at the border of Holland and Danemark, it is the only place this gene comes from". And he added, "looking at you, it is not surprising, tall, blond, blue, eyes" (French are smaller and browner on average). So I finally knew what my great grand mother did not, where she was from.

Lots of mysteries this morning...
I was born right between Holland and Denmark,
except its not just a border, but instead hundreds of miles of German countryside
with thousands of black and white cows.
Holland to the west, and Denmark to the north, with no common border.
Check the map, Flash.

[Flash]

Hi sister Ulli, thank you, I will.

Edit: you are of course right about geography Ulli.

so I made a fast research on the blood factor V mutations. It comes from a single origin, Caucasian, it is more prevalent in scandinavian countries it seems, but also in France.
So we are back to square one with my ancestor.
I just want to add that even neurologist doctor's word have to be cross checked. It seems he was wrong.

I'd like to teach the cat to pick cherries without eating them first. Last year's crop I could have sent you by pm - zero cherries and a few immature kernels :(

[PurpleLama]

About half of the seeds sown over the last month have sprouted all over the recently cleared wooded area. These number in the thousands, easily. Many more to come, no doubt. Chard has become a recent family favorite, and that alone is a hundred sprouting if it's a single one. Of all the beans and peas, it's the garbonzos that are doing the best, already shooting up an inch or two tall and looking very happy. I can't wait for all the home made hummus to come. I placed an order with Trade Winds, so many exotic varieties are currently en route to my garden, I can't wait. I'm learning about planting by the moon, which is profoundly interesting to me. I suspect my lima beans not sprouting has something to do with the moon being in a bad sign that day. We will see, perhaps they just take a little longer than some of the others.

I've been mostly quiet on the forum these days, but I'm always watching. Love to all my friends, here and now.

[RunningDeer]

I'm stranded again. Have gone through 2 starters and 4 ignitions in almost 3 months with 2 separate vehicles. I'm sure the mechanic is beginning to wonder. I told him maybe it's the solar flares. Having a lot of issues with electrical and mechanical things for the past few months.
Thank goodness for AAA and electricians.

Hi Nora,

Food for thought: I woke up in the middle of the night with your post in mind and to pass this along. I wasn’t going to because it sounds different from your experience. But, there’s a reason why it came to mind. If not you, then maybe it’ll help someone else.

Back in the 1970’s, my Volvo wouldn’t turn over. It wasn’t the ignition. The cause was cheap gas that had water in it. Also, during the rainy season, moisture gets into the system.

The solution was dry gas. That baby started right up. I’d pour a can in and wait a few minutes and then start her up and let it run so the dry gas could permeate the engine.

There are two types: one prevents condensation, the other removes condensation that is there. The second one is what you want. I’d carry extra cans with me. (Two different occasions, it helped other stranded motorists.) I used the first type as preventive maintenance especially in the rainy & snowy seasons. I was told that it’s also good to not allow your gas to go below a half tank. This helps with moisture control.

This link says fill the tank half way, pour in your product, then top it off. I just added a can and then filled up: “How to Use Dry Gas to Prevent Water Buildup or Icing in Your Gas Line (http://www.ehow.com/how_5263960_use-buildup-icing-gas-line.html)”

Hearts,
Paula

Hi REILLY,

I purchased some basic seeds that are due to arrive today from SeedSavers.org (http://www.seedsavers.org). I Googled Trade Winds Fruits (http://www.tradewindsfruitstore.com/servlet/StoreFront). If this isn’t your site, it still looks good. Free shipping over $10, and heirloom seeds, etc. I don’t have land. I’m thinking of tiny garden on my deck. If not, at the very least, I’ve got seeds in case of community involvement or barter. For now, I live vicariously through your adventures.

This sound right up your alley. The vegetables keep for months: “Lacto-Fermented Vegetables (http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2012/02/how-to-make-lacto-fermented-vegetables.html)”

Yesterday, I made nine quarts of Lacto-Fermented Vegetables. This is link has a great 6 minute vid, a reference and ideas section. It takes about a week to ferment and then you refrigerate.

Hearts,
Paula

PS I thought of you yesterday while I prepared the vegetables. One of your suggestions for this up-coming time was to have lots and lots of salt. Lacto-fermented vegetables is a perfect example. You need salt and they're preserved for months.

[PurpleLama]

Seedsavers is the best, also Grannys and Heirloom Acres. This is my first order with Tradewinds, so I can't speak to the quality, but they have all kinds of crazy stuff. I'm probably most excited about the white dragonfruit, but it's hard to say. I really wanted the mountain papaya, but it was out of stock, so there will be at least one more tradewinds order, for that if nothing else. In Dennis' seed thread over in food and water, there is a list of companys I will be trying out this year, either tepco or horizons, I think, will be the next.

Hoping your sister is getting better Lisab. I'm keeping her in my heart as well as Mer-boy. My mom hemmoraged two weeks after my birth. In an hypnotic regression I did in my thirties I learned that I tought it was my fault and had kept a lot of guilt. So yes, I'm sending much love to Mer-boy also.

Yesterday, I woke up with a very bad headache. I went to work anyway, but after I started vomiting, I was sent home in a taxi. My co-workers took real good care of me. The very heavy headache and vomiting continued until late in the evening. I actually thought my head would burst open. During the night, I woke up to see a spiral in the corner of my room where my dreamcatcher is. It resembled the Norway spiral. Quite strange, but I felt that I was being protected and helped. Today the headache is still there, but much, much milder and I still have a bit of nausea. If you can, please send healing my way.

Paula,

I had 4 Volkswagens, I remember putting additives in and making sure the gas tank was full when I lived in the cold country. They were good little cars and easy to maintain.

This time I wish it was water in the gas tank or the ignition. Its the motor
-it's dead. I either need to have an engine put in or buy a new truck. Ouch either way.
Manifesting time.

Samsara I hope you get well and feel better soon. :hug:

Flash- I'm French, Native American and Norse -and a couple of other nationalities but I'm short and have darker features. Weird thing is I really don't resemble any of my relatives except one of my Grandmothers who was from Spain. She's always
remained a mystery to me. No one in the family would tell me her last name or where she came from in Spain or how she made her way to the Americas.

Maybe Kurzweil's future won't include me, as he won't be included in mine.
This is why I hardly ever say "we" or "us", as each person is free to determine their own future
in extremely different environments.

The path I have chosen is the path of spirit, unlike Kurzweil who is racing against time and old age
in the hope of eternal life in a repaired physical body.
But perhaps he will visit PA one day and come across the posts of people who have left their bodies
and gone astral traveling....
then he might change his mind.

Great Family Movie

Trailer
MArcpNkdApE

15-year-old Simon Jackson is an awkward outcast who spends a great deal of time alone in the British Columbia wilderness. On one of his many adventures, he is attacked by a vicious animal. Out of nowhere, a rare white Kermode Bear appears and rescues him. Upon his return home, he learns these magnificent creatures are endangered and only 400 exist in his small area of northern BC. Driven to act, Simon vows to fight for their survival and challenges the powerful forest industry and the provincial government. His courageous efforts rally everyone from Prince William to the Backstreet Boys. Ultimately, Simon secures the protection of 2,500 square miles of Princess Royal Island -- one of the largest land protection battles ever won

Target: Prime Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper
Goal: Protect the Kermode Bear (“Spirit Bear”) from environmental threats due to a proposed gas pipeline.
https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQcA__qiATRFN03rx4QhnadWJVAXrfS7QngVT9rMfCkO-9gwRtBig The Kermode bear is also called the spirit bear because its rare white coat gives it a ghost like appearance. It is a subspecies of the black bear; one in ten of their population has white fur. There are only about 500 of these bears left in British Columbia and they inhabit the Great Bear Rainforest; a mysterious place abundant with life. This rich habitat is under threat by the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline, the planned route for this project comes dangerously close to this untouched eden of life.
The spirit bear has been protected by the Gitga’at, one of the 14 groups that are part of British Columbia’s Tsimshian people of the Northwest coast. “Our people never hunted the white bear,” says Helen Clifton, a clan matriarch who lives in a small fishing village. For these people the ghostly bear represents the hardships of past times, its white coat is a symbol of the ice age when blankets of ice and snow covered the universe. The bear also symbolizes peace and harmony to them, so they always protected it as a legend of the past. Even when poachers and trophy hunters threatened the black bear, the Gitga’at always kept a watchful eye on the spirit bear, they still do.
Poaching is no longer a problem in the Great Bear Rainforest, but the construction of a pipeline could threaten the pristine habitat of the spirit bear and the surrounding life. This pipeline would pump toxic unrefined crude or bitumen from Alberta to Kitimat, crossing through this delicate habitat and likely resulting in an oil spill. This also puts the aboriginal people in danger who respect their environment and the surrounding life so greatly, as we all should.
