Here and Now...What's Happening?

[araucaria]

Here’s a diary entry I just came across from the poet René Char, a resistance fighter in World War II, talking about a fellow poet/resistance fighter, Roger Bernard (I’ll spare you the French, sorry Flash):

Horrible day! I witnessed B.’s execution from a distance of about a hundred yards. I only had to squeeze the trigger on the machine-gun and he could have been saved. We were on the high ground overlooking Céreste, with weapons to set the bushes cracking and in numbers at least equal to the SS. They didn’t know we were there. To the eyes all around me begging for the signal to open fire, I answered no with a shake of my head…
The June sun sent a polar chill through my bones.
He fell as if he couldn’t make out his executioners and so light, I felt, that the slightest breath of wind must surely have lifted him off the ground.
I did not give the signal because this village had to be spared at all costs. What is a village? A village just like any other? Maybe he realized that in this supreme moment. (Feuillet d’Hypnos 138).

By the time Abbie got to the hospital she was unconscious, she'd lost 50 per cent of her blood. Her poor partner was beside himself. Mer-boy with mum. She's better now (according to hospital) and hopefully home teatime. Thankyou so much you wonderful people. I'm without the iPad for the weekend as little one with his dad. Il update on Monday when off this phone, which I find annoying to post on. All your replies meant so much to me and Abbie is so grateful to you all once again.

[Lisab]

Flash, were in south Wales near a place called the gower. We don't mind this being known. X

[Samsara]

Feeling much better this morning. Last evening, my heart was skipping beats. Kinda scary. What is the scariest is going for a consult and being attacked by the medical beast. If it keeps up, I will go. I owe it to my daughter I guess.

This songs seems fitting.

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

and they have a new movie (animation) coming out soon "the spirit bear movie"

Spirit Bear-Ghost Bear
Ursus americanus kermodei

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.

The Kermode Bear? They don't know how to spell.
The correct spelling is of course The Carmody Bear!

If he didn't realize it at THAT supreme moment, he surely will realize it NOW...
at THIS supreme moment, while us Villagers are reading this.

Still, a tough choice to make for Rene Char.

And Samsara, please note that it's no coincidence that you posted right after the news of Lisa's sister being saved by a medical team...which shows again that lives are being saved with that route.
You need to see a good cardiologist...missing heart beats can cause clotting which can lead to strokes.

Yes best to get things checked out.
My heart does weird things all the time,

Astrid, sacred economics is absolutely interesting (from a desinterested point of view :nod:) while it is putting economics upside down. Giving, instead of taking. Community, instead of self-interest. Economics for a new world or just for a small village of some loving and caring people.

This morning after daybreak, laying in bed, I heard the chickens squawk, looked out the window and saw two large dogs inside the fenced in run killing a chicken. I ran 'em off with a bois d'arc stick, but not before they had killed two chickens, injured a third. There's a fourth hen that won't come out of the privet hedge thicket. Please send some healing energy to Little Chick, a Rhode Island Red that was bit in her leg/behind. Thanks!

Sixpack rings, and the damage they do to the environment:

http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/553344_559299087424440_304418512_n.jpg

This is Peanut the turtle, shortly after being found in Missouri in 1993. She was taken to to a zoo in St. Louis where the six-pack ring was removed.
It seems that she was trapped in the plastic ring as a young turtle and was unable to free herself. Subsequently her shell moulded itself to the plastic ring and she grew in the strange shape you see here.
Unfortunately the damage is permanent, but peanut is expected to live a long life and today she serves as a mascot for the fight against beach littering.

Please, always remember to clean up after yourself at the beach.

This is so cool. But I was wondering if it hurts the rats, so I looked it up. It doesn't, from what this story says... in fact, it's a good thing, it gives them a job to do, and social animals like to feel needed:
---
Here’s another rat story but with a positive spin instead of the ending up at the wrong end of a pitch fork. In thailand rats have been train to hunt land mines. Particularly on the border with burma where humans and elephants have had a lot casualties. In Tanzania they have been very successful so thailand is trying the same.

“Rats have excellent senses of smell and weigh too little to set off land mines with their bodies, making them the perfect alternative to using robots or humans to find mines in war-torn countries. Plus, they like to socialize, are easy to train, and are motivated almost entirely by food. HeroRATs have already found 861 land mines in Tanzania and Mozambique, allowing trained technicians to destroy the mines before they can harm local residents.”

Venus and Chiron are still conjunct...
Chiron's message through the Sabian Symbols is

Pisces 10: AN AVIATOR IN THE CLOUDS

This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to be able to stay on one’s course while not allowing distractions
or difficult or confusing issues to deter you from getting to your destination. There will be times in your life
that you need to rise above and transcend the more nitty-gritty realities of earthly existence and its difficulties,
just be aware that you may not be seeing the complete picture very clearly sometimes. If you take special notice,
you may be able to see through illusions, seeing past the surface appearances to things that others miss.
You may be able to rely on your creative or intellectual skills to take you above and beyond those things that
others have to deal with. You may just be evading the real truth.
Sailing through difficulties. The need for accurate navigation. Being in charge of the controls.
Seeking higher truths. Mastery. Flight. Navigation. Maps. Compasses. Pilots.

The Caution: Escaping responsibilities. Isolating oneself. Drugs and alcohol abuse.
Avoiding reality. Unearthed. Unrealistic expectations. Missing the point. Evasive.


Venus today is on Pisces 7, a degree which has been highlighted in recent times
by Mars, Mercury, the Sun, and recently Chiron and now Venus. It's one of rebuilding
faith and seeing hope, even in difficult times. It can be about being a beacon of light for others.
The "lighthouse" shines light on the cross, bringing our awareness to the struggles that we,
and others, are experiencing. Venus coming up through the degrees that Chiron has recently been inhabiting....

Pisces 7: ILLUMINATED BY A SHAFT OF LIGHT, A LARGE CROSS LIES ON ROCKS SURROUNDED BY SEA AND MIST
This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to be able to stay firm in one’s faith and belief in life even when one’s
hopes and dreams take a battering. There may be feelings of chaos and misplaced loyalties in your life,
like something has been sacrificed for no real cause and some things have come to nothing. At times in your life,
you may want to see if perhaps your aim was too high and things came crashing down as a result of a lack of care,
by yourself or others, or through people opposing your objectives or success. Having faith and a positive end in sight,
you can experience a wonderful spiritual awakening - reconnecting with your spiritual ideals. Concentrate on the
"Shaft of Light" as this can show you that white light is all around you.
Renewed dedication after loss. Signs of recovery and hope. Coming to terms with loss or failure. Important,
substantial sacrifices. Finding the way through the dark. Faith and hope.

The Caution: Losing faith. Hopes completely dashed. Unable to see through the fog.
Scorn, persecution or attack through religious or social reasons.
Sacrifices, sometimes for nothing.

( From Lynda Hill, but i guess she is using big orbs,
as 7 and 10 are not exactly conjunct)

You can always make it fun. It means your seventh house is packed...
and your subconscious is speaking to you from everyone you meet now.
I'd pay attention, if I were you.
But if you really, really want to do these transits all by yourself,
and ignore their passage over your solar seventh house, then at least
enjoy the Pluto aspects you are getting now. Either way, you can't lose.

Seeing members like Midnight act the way as he did makes me always wonder. Even though if he was arrogant he however did have so many good threads earlier, but I sensed a lot of untreated pain and anger in his messages. Maybe he was frustrated and I don't blame him for it, but it also blinded him. I'm still saddened to see a member like him leave, but maybe he has his lessons to be learned elsewhere.

Well, it's better for me to get some sleep now. I'm going to need it.

Never-ending Story

Armies have conquered
And fallen in the end
Kingdoms have risen
Then buried by sand
The Earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
She puts us to sleep and
In her light we'll awake
We'll all be forgotten
There's no endless fame
But everything we do
Is never in vain

We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way?

Forests and deserts
Rivers, blue seas
Mountains and valleys
Nothing here stays
While we think we witness
We are part of the scene
This never-ending story
Where will it lead to?
The earth is our mother
She gives and she takes
But she is also a part
A part of the tale

We're part of a story, part of a tale
We're all on this journey
No one is to stay
Where ever it's going
What is the way?
We're part of a story, part of a tale
Sometimes beautiful and sometimes insane
No one remembers how it began.

Deceiver of fools

He feeds on fear
He feeds on pain
He rules again
With growing hate
He will guide
Their faith again

No light in the darkness
Is too small to see
There's always a sparkle of hope
If you just believe

He told the tale so many times
About the dream not meant to be
In a world of the free
He plays with your mind

As faith for the future faded fast
He grows strong with their displeasure
It sets him free

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules again

He feeds on fear
Poisons the truth
To gain their faith
To lead the way
To a world of decay

He rules your heart
He will sell your soul to the grave

No hesitation he'll make
He belongs to the dark

Please awake
And see the truth
He can only be
If you believe what he tells you
Remember who you are
What you stand for
And there will always be a way

In my heart there is a place
In my heart there is a trace
Of a small fire burning
A sheltering ray shines through this night
Although it 's small, it's bright
But darkness is lurking

He will sell your soul to bitterness and cold
Fear him

Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
He rules with fear
Deceiver of hearts
Deceiver of fools
Shall he rule again?

Hello everybody.

I'm currently at my ex-wife's house - well it's her 95 year old dad's place (birthday is tomorrow). Been here all weekend and will be here a few more days. She moved back here six months ago to help her dad stay in his house as opposed to wasting away in an old folks home, and is renovating the entire house. She is overwhelmed with the work and since I'm out of work, with no place to stay, and too many things on my mind to stay idle without going crazy I offered to help her. I replaced all the plugs on the main floor with new modern ones. A few months back I rewired the entire upstairs. The rest of my time here will be devoted to sorting, dusting and cleaning. The end is in site and my ex is a little less stressed. Plus I've had no time to wallow in my own misery, so it's all good.

There was a little incident last nite that had me running away in a crazed stupor at about 1 in the morning. I got poisoned! All the bedding has been in a cedar chest for like forever and smothered in moth balls. I said don't worry about it, trying to be cavalier and all that. So we made a bed out of this stuff and I hunkered down at 11:11 for sleep. At exactly 12:12 I woke with a start. My body and my mind were screaming at me to GET OUT NOW! I don't miss or ignore such loud and obvious signs and I stumbled out of my makeshirt bed. But I could not remember where I was - or how to dress myself. My throat hurt and I was dizzy and really dioriented. I finally recalled how to dress and put all my stuff in my pack, stumbled downstairs and out the door. My ex was calling after me but I just kept saying sorry, sorry, I have to get out! She found me walking down the main road ten minutes later. By then I was coming around again and was regaining my senses. She convinced me to come back. Later, after airing out the room we looked up the effects of moth balls: used for repelling insects and small vermin...and increasing the octane content of gasoline! - among other insane uses. Known to be a carcinogen, it causes deleria from prolonged exposure! Some people sniff the stuff to get high, although I do not know who would be able to stand it's god-aweful stench.

Well, I guess I'm going to live - I do feel okay now, although my throat still hurts.

What a strange month I've been having since inviting that implant or whatever from Kryon. I've incurred a lot of karma through the years and I guess I have to negate some of it before I can move forward. I accept that...but who knew?

Hello everybody.

What a strange month I've been having since inviting that implant or whatever from Kryon. I've incurred a lot of karma through the years and I guess I have to negate some of it before I can move forward. I accept that...but who knew?

Hi Ernie,

I'm glad you followed your intuition and scooted out. That's one of the good things when you decide to no longer have the implant and it's effects. You begin to streamline those tools/gifts that Kryon explains.

It's also my understanding that you rid the past. Flashes of understanding the greater picture and connecting some dots all while you let it all go. It no longer serves you. You walk away with the knowledge and wisdom.

There may be feelings of sadness and loss of what once was. But you don't create karma from letting it go. Kryon explains a profound sense of loss comes into play because your main guides step away or are replaced. So in effect you fly solo while you process. Pain is greater for those that tend to resist change or feel they are not deserving of good things in their lives.

Hang in there... Please reconsider the perception that what's happening with you now is payback from past karma. That's a program you no longer need to buy into.

Hugs,
Paula

I am currently very upset. Very angry that things are not going the way I would have thought for this planet toward freedom. I wish for all humans to be free but only deeper enslavement occurs. I hope, imagine, and pray that people will know that they have been slaves and fooled by the cabal without CNN needing to tell them they are but they still believe in the news.

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

You can't control how others act and think, but you can control how you act and think. Turn the anger into love and observe how that positive energy affects, not controls, others around you. That goes beyond hope, imagination, and prayer. Action in the microcosm is the key. Look for the synchronicities that serve as serendipitous markers showing you that you are on the right path, acting as a change agent.

Now for the second part, meeting customers in the university clinic, taped meeting with supervisors analysing our ways of doing. Another 40 hours will go there.

Same color as it was before, give or take, but the new paint has

I realized too that part of me misses renovating, painting and

I'm currently at my ex-wife's house - well it's her 95 year old dad's place (birthday is tomorrow). Been here all weekend and will be here a few more days. She moved back here six months ago to help her dad stay in his house as opposed to wasting away in an old folks home, and is renovating the entire house. She is overwhelmed with the work and since I'm out of work, with no place to stay, and too many things on my mind to stay idle without going crazy I offered to help her. I replaced all the plugs on the main floor with new modern ones. A few months back I rewired the entire upstairs. The rest of my time here will be devoted to sorting, dusting and cleaning. The end is in site and my ex is a little less stressed. Plus I've had no time to wallow in my own misery, so it's all good.

There was a little incident last nite that had me running away in a crazed stupor at about 1 in the morning. I got poisoned! All the bedding has been in a cedar chest for like forever and smothered in moth balls. I said don't worry about it, trying to be cavalier and all that. So we made a bed out of this stuff and I hunkered down at 11:11 for sleep. At exactly 12:12 I woke with a start. My body and my mind were screaming at me to GET OUT NOW! I don't miss or ignore such loud and obvious signs and I stumbled out of my makeshirt bed. But I could not remember where I was - or how to dress myself. My throat hurt and I was dizzy and really dioriented. I finally recalled how to dress and put all my stuff in my pack, stumbled downstairs and out the door. My ex was calling after me but I just kept saying sorry, sorry, I have to get out! She found me walking down the main road ten minutes later. By then I was coming around again and was regaining my senses. She convinced me to come back. Later, after airing out the room we looked up the effects of moth balls: used for repelling insects and small vermin...and increasing the octane content of gasoline! - among other insane uses. Known to be a carcinogen, it causes deleria from prolonged exposure! Some people sniff the stuff to get high, although I do not know who would be able to stand it's god-aweful stench.

Well, I guess I'm going to live - I do feel okay now, although my throat still hurts.

What a strange month I've been having since inviting that implant or whatever from Kryon. I've incurred a lot of karma through the years and I guess I have to negate some of it before I can move forward. I accept that...but who knew?

Male menopause. Happens to millions of women every night, lol. Poor Ernie.

[ulli]

I am currently very upset. Very angry that things are not going the way I would have thought for this planet toward freedom. I wish for all humans to be free but only deeper enslavement occurs. I hope, imagine, and pray that people will know that they have been slaves and fooled by the cabal without CNN needing to tell them they are but they still believe in the news.

Well, we all have those feelings at times. But on the brighter side...let me remind you that it has always been this way...only now more stuff is leaking out than before, thanks to the Internet. Not everyone is ready to find out at the exact same time....
I was 29 when they informed me of the CCC...the Capitalist Communist Conspiracy...Armand Hammer and his connection to the Kremlin...then came the knowledge about the banks...in 1982 I stopped dealing with banks and decided to go debt free forever....my husband still believes that their game can be of benefit...so I have to be patient...
Playdo's advice is spot-on here, so I will only add one thing....the fact that you feel this frustration is to me a sign that you have found your true path and calling, and like a horse that's been kept in a box is now doubly ready for the race.

This anger and frustration is nothing other than energy which you have at your disposal to do with as you choose.
Someone once said that we only ever have enough energy available for our inner transformation...
Although most don't believe this, unfortunately. But if you want to see change in the world you can start by following Astrid's example and paint the laundry room, lol...
you might even inspire a few other to do the same.
If you don't have one you are welcome to paint mine...it sure can do with an extra coat.

Ouf, here and now.
I just finished a University work that was due yesterday - I beg the extension, it is 3h40 am, and I am going to bed. I will have to get organised differently and may be less on the forum snif.
The whole thing took 40 hours. Ouf!
Now for the second part, meeting customers in the university clinic, taped meeting with supervisors analysing our ways of doing. Another 40 hours will go there.

Good night everyone
My daughter was laughing tonight telling me that I was not very dedicated to school, too much on the forum. Then telling me nothing below an A is acceptable.

Same here! I really should be writing a paper by now but I just can't stay away from the forum..

Carpenters hammer nails
Plumbers fix pipes
Marines kill people

Well, it's honest.

Kinda lends to my argument that military service itself is not alone worthy of the respect the masses in the US seem to demand/expect people have for it.

I'm not saying there's no service members I respect, quite the contrary. Just saying I don't respect ANYONE based on their vocation alone...and anyone who chooses to be part of the "big stick" of the American govt has to earn it from me. F*** those stupid ribbons.,.

Well, the real reason they are in there is that they get lured in via the golden carrot when they are down and out, or want someone to pay for their 'education', and then it's all justified with the ol' 'defense' argument.

[donk]

I just wish everyone with a "support our troops" sticker would put one of those next to it.

Again...I respect all beings, for existing...and their actions, words, and deeds add to it. But I have contempt for blind support of terrible ideas. And am offended by the "demand" behind that statement.

I support people with good intent.

Good one, 1, thanks...needed it. Sometimes my mind becomes consumed with that thought.

It's scary to me that it's not only a socially acceptable option for my boys' "career", but that they grow up in a society were they are expected to show respect to people because they make that "choice" (I know, I know...a lot of them have very little "choice"...though I wonder how many of them advertise like the dude I mentioned, the "proud killer"), that somehow they are more worthy of "support" and ribbons and parades than our teachers and healers and true "leaders"...those in service to OTHERS.

Ugh....so many issues with our war machine (call it a defense machine if you want....our friggin' national gaurd is out occupying other countries, and has been for a decade), but the advertising and attitude of the masses is the worst. And the scary thing there is, that I dare mention any of these problems, I put myself in a position to be lumped in with the other extreme, the dip****s who spit on soldiers, or judge people for being in the military. I am not one of those, and give everyone the benefit of the doubt. I respect a lot of people, despite the jobs I feel they may have not thought so deeply about.

And of course, there's an element of self loathing there. Being in the finance industry is just as complicit. I am just a little further removed, closer to the heart of the beast, where the military is the hands...just because my job isn't as obviously "as dirty" doesn't make it any better. I just get a true fear reaction from the fact that someone would (don't get me started on "can") proudly boast of their job to kill people.

Sheesh, I need to chill out and listen to some real American play some flute!

They are beautiful together. I love Celtic and Native American music. I sprung for a Native American flute. This is a photo of mine which should arrive in about a week. I am a neophyte when it comes to playing music, and have lots of admiration for those that play. In 1995, I had the fortune to listen to Carlos Nakai, just three rows away. It felt like it was just him and me the whole time. Pure bliss.

Yeah, donk, I know what you mean. I have to remind myself that I can only do what I can do. I can only control what I can control, my own actions or reactions, my own attitudes, my own choices, what I project to others. Like Playdo said, like so many people have said. I could get aggravated right there with you, I mean think about how drawn to or connected with the age group targeted by the war machine I really am.

When I feel worry or anxiety or fear or anger about everything going on, it is like giving my power to someone else. I can't wave a magic wand and poof some things out of existence, and it's a good thing I can't because think of all the people that would have to start over learning lessons, haha.

So, yes I see it, too. But I have to focus on the here and now, actually. Keeping myself focused on this moment and what I can do with it, what I can do within it.

Much Love,

[1inMany]

I bet you are exited to receive that flute, Paula :) You just need to get in touch with your inner child musician. After all, who cannot say this...

We had the most awesome weekend. By the time I went to bed last night, every inch of my body was aching. We cleaned out one of the sheds, and put up some shelving. Next weekend we start filling the shelves with dry goods and some other stuff, some we have, some we will get. I have this internal struggle with worry, and getting this set up freed me. Plus, Friday night every child I feel responsible for was in a safe place, and I did not have to even think about any child anywhere for a whole 24 hour period. Mike and I had the most wonderful evening ever. I had a couple of drinks, he mesmerized me with his bass playing, we fulfilled our life long dream of going to sleep early and not waking up before the sun. A whole, continuous night of sleep with no worries. No need to keep one ear open or one eye open.

We finally got a fire going out here, got rid of the "burn pile," a massive bonfire that was. I had to laugh, because Mike is such a city guy. He started the fire with about a gallon of gasoline before I realized what he was doing. Then, when it got dark he pulled the Tahoe out to the back and parked it right beside the fire so he could watch it but still be not sitting on the ground. What a funny man. Camping, minus the camping. Meanwhile, Em was happy on her back on the ground absorbing the beauty of the country sky, black as pitch, watching the stars doing what they do....just being beautiful...and everywhere.

Oh, how I did not want that to end. I'm keeping the memory fresh, I can smell the bonfire of all the limbs we cleaned up...of course, I can block out the smell of the gasoline which is nice, haha.

Heading to Little One's school for Lunch with Grandparents day. Tonight is Open House, where the parents meet the teachers and oogle over the walls covered with pictures colored outside the lines and miscellaneous items cut from construction paper. Well, mostly cut. Good thing the shapes are outlined in black so one can make out the artist's rendition from the photocopier's rendition. K wants me to take pictures, that will be funny because a photographer I am not. Em and Little One both have Open House, so it's back to juggling for me.

I think I will go outside and sit with my weekend some more...

Much Love Every One,

That lunch was just plain fun. I chuckled a lot. You may know that we should all be eating 5 fruits and vegetables every day. But, did you know that each pickle slice that comes with lunch is one vegetable? Or that if you pick a cherry out of the fruit cup, it is one fruit? I also did not realize to a four year old, one-zero-zero-zero is one hundred forty five, definitely need to work on that. Out of the blue, Little One asked if I could count to infinity, which was pretty funny. I said, "Hmmm. That's a lot of numbers. Can you?" And he said, "Naw, I can only count to one hundred."

Sharing my smiles with you...Much Love,

the difference between your paper and mine is that you have been at it since birth and never let go, I have been at it as much as you 20 some years ago and i ma taking over again. I should have become wiser by now.
Have to give an example, just As all over if I want my daughter to follow suit. Next year is the year where the exam count for admission to college. Right now she has to many Bs, so I insist a lot (the fact is that this is extraordinary, litterally, when thinking where she comes from in learning disabilities). Here in the province, you get no good jobs if no college.
Up to now, I am rather the counter example as to the use of my time.

I had not yet seen this post when the phone rang this morning. It was the wrong number, but the man spoke English and I thought I'd recognized his voice. As he apologized I said I don't believe in coincidences. So we got chatting.
Turns out he has a houseguest who is a Hopi Grandmother with the most interesting Sedona connection. We ended up spending the morning together. Paula, you are so in tune. Yukondiva came over and got a healing, too, ....we all got saged, I read her chart...the land got blessed ...we did a ceremony for the medical center, went down to the river, washed away all old curses....and so it's all good.

Ratzinger is a cataholic, but I haven’t seen him posting here :)

All this is happening on Petrus Romanus’s watch. Remember Bertone the camerlengo is interim pope right now. Scottish Cardinal O’Brien’s sacking has brought the sexual shenanigans right into the Sistine Chapel where he will prominent by his absence. The Church is no longer accused of coverups, it has now admitted at the very highest levels to being directly involved if not in pedophilia at least in inappropriate behavior. This means that it could become the number one issue for the conclave, namely a) decide which way to go with this and b) either way, find someone to do the dirty work. This may take longer than the usual two days.

Oh my goodness! On the one hand, makes you wonder what would drive someone to not only want to do this, but actually start this project...and to do it for close to 40 years, even! On the other hand, I do think it would have been beautiful...the small images look like a depiction of wind to me.

I bet painting numbers would be like taking long drives...I wonder if he kept his mind busy repeatedly running through what number was next, and if this left the rest of him open for aha moments...or I wonder what happened if he made a mistake...

Wow, I am thinking way too much about this, haha. Maybe I should go get a cup of coffee...

Reading this just now...from a paper given to me by the Hopi Grandmother who visited me yesterday...
This is my personal belief, too.

"As we walk through life, we leave our energetic footprints.
If we walk the path over and over in the same way,
we leave more and more imprints and they become ID points for us.

So not only do we remember our walk in life,
but our ID points are forever in the earth's memory.
So walk softly and do no harm."

Wow, Ulli, that's beautiful. It really is. That is my personal belief, too. Actually, I think that applies to all beings. I guess that comes from the realization a couple of years ago (my own realization) that we feel each other's energy without effort, even without intention. That's why I planted my cyber feet in this Village...

He had originally hoped to reach the magic number 7777777 (7 7s) but got waylaid by all the other artist’s commitments. He took a picture of himself after every canvas, so the paintings are doubled up with as many increasingly white-haired self-portraits over a 45-year period.

Is it art? Not so much in the mechanical aspect as in the human factor. If you look at this early portion, you can see here he dipped his brush into the paint, giving a rhythm to the piece. And you can see where he got tired or distracted – repeating 2309 instead of 2310 and 3339 for 3340, missing out 2312, or the sequence 3433 3334 3434…

I've been thinking. There are several theories about what is happening here and now, and the changes that are taking place. Some watch for changes in energy, I don't but I sure feel them. Some watch for changes in government, system collapse. Some watch for ET intervention, or at the very least assistance. Some say a new earth is being created here and now, literally, in another band of existence. Some say a new earth is being created figuratively. Some say there is a new human being evolving, with more potential being realized.

Then there are people who, like Mrs. B the Science teacher from hell, who see....nothing. People who are locked into this existence as if it is all there is. There are teenagers taking the lives of others with absolutely no second thoughts, they end earthly lives with less regard than they choose their clothing.

Just a couple of months ago, I would have admitted I live in two worlds. One physical, one spiritual (though I am nowhere near fully understanding what that entails). After thinking about things, I really live in many sub-worlds. In the physical, I see the city with all it's violence and despair and people going about their "lives" like hamsters on a wheel. I see the country, where people are doing the same but the choice of poison is different. It is less offensive on the outside, but on the inside it is still poison. It is less in your face, but no less intrusive. In the city, that wiry energy is everywhere, very big and visible. The country negativity is grown internally, so it may not be hanging in the air but all you have to do is listen to people talk and there it is. And the spiritual is every bit as real, even though the word "spiritual" has always represented the "invisible" to me, and thus somehow it was less "real." But the caves and the houses and the work being done in the places I never knew existed...

And then, I see something different. A sub-world within the physical, not confined by any type of boundaries. There are people who have a different kind of demeanor, different attitudes about life in general, they seem to sparkle from the inside. (Sorry, that's just how my words can express why my "eyes" see.) They may have no knowledge they sparkle, and honestly they usually do not.

And as I am trying to express this, I realize something. This is not worlds within worlds. This is one vastness shared by many souls, and the experiences are so different that it is hard for me to keep a handle on things. That's what it is.

So, what I wonder, then, is how all the possibilities can play out simultaneously. Maybe pigeon-holing is not the right way to go here, and maybe that's what I would be doing if I tried to understand where things are going. Maybe the reason it is so difficult is because many things are being birthed at the same "time."

Oh, I just baffled myself further. I would not have thought that even possible. Haha on me!

I watched the news clip about the baby born with HIV who was cured, that new thread. What a lift!!! I agree, it would be really interesting to see what the mother did when she took the baby off the big pharma. The implications are...huge!

Last week, I posted information on Lacto-Fermented Vegetables. Easy to make. They store in the refrigerator for months. This is the resource page (http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2012/02/how-to-make-lacto-fermented-vegetables.html) and a 6 minute video that explained the whole thing. Lots of ideas offered, too.

My finished product. Wolfie loves them. One is beet/carrot/red pepper/red onion/garlic with herbs and spices. The other is broccoli/cauliflower/green beans/red pepper/red onion/garlic with herbs and spices.

Wasn't meant to be. So I'll keep it to myself.

Had a dream but it doesn't matter to anyone but myself. Lost the post and I didn't like it anyway.

Still sorting and cleaning, washing and dusting. Doing floors next. Then moving furniture. Changing living room and dining rooms, as per instructions from my ex. Poor dad (95) having to live in this construction zone. But this house needed fresh paint and a thorough going over. Just glad I could help. My ex is by far my very best friend...
Funny watching dad read -giant magnifying glass in hand, stooped over his book on a homemade lecturn he assembled from little scraps of wood. Quite comical really.

Thanks, guys. I tried sun meditation, too. Ended up with just meditation. It is incredible how much has gone on here in a year and some. Just incredible. So much good information in this one place. And so many connections made.

Anyway, tried sun, which was too general, tried a few other combinations. Glad to know you would have tried what I tried. Yep, searched his posts, too. Dang, he has offered a lot of wisdom.

I hated to ask him to do what I just did, but maybe he won't have to look quite so long, haha.

Thanks again,

Hello Chester,

Oh, new name! Speaking of Chewbacca...
I've met George Lucas. I was one of his lunch guests. He had two of his three kids with him, his son, Jett and daughter, Katie. I stayed at SkyWalker Ranch about 10 times. It was because my sister and her husband were the Ranch Managers up until about 5 years ago. They lived right there. Her husband is still part of the operation and stays there part time.

My sister had access to places that the public aren't privy to. I got to see a lot of neat things: drawings of the characters, all the way to the finished models, the original movie sets, and memorabilia like Harrison Ford's leather jacket and bull whip. I've got a photo of my son with the Darth Vader's mask.

My favorite is the original Yoda which is now sealed and on display in the building where George's office is. I was in his office a couple of times when he wasn't in. He had a large desk calendar with his schedule. It had SW (Star Wars) and arrows through the days of the week. On the mantle of the fireplace, he had all the action figures from the movies. He's a regular, nice guy, and he's very shy.

In the photo, I'm the one hugging my brother and sister. The lady in the first row is another sister (not the one from the ranch) and the boy with the soccer ball shirt is my son. Those are the real deals in the displays. This photo was taken in the 1980's.

Dang, it took me forever to find this old post, to bring it back, here and now. The topic of sungazing has been coming back up, so here we go:
@eaglespirit

the solar element is very important. Several times you've mentioned it, and I've always gotten side tracked before responding. A few years ago I was hanging out with hermes and he taught me to form the caduces within the body.

first you focus on the sun. Then, with the inbreath, you breath in the light through the forehead. It helps if you have actual sunlight, but with practice visualization works too. Ok, so you breathe in the sun, and pull the light down the front of the body, to the root, where it turns and goes up the spine, reaching the top of the head where it exits the body and returns to the sun.

second, once the flow is established, start collecting light from the flow into the root to form the sun *inside you at the base chakra*, the flow upwards is not diminished as it is an infinite source and with the collection the intake is increased as well, the balance here is important, upon the completion of the sun in the root move the attention to the heart center and repeat the process forming a second sun in the heart, then a third time forming the sun in the head.

thirdly, the perspective is made where the lower sun drops below, this being the connection to earth, and the higher sun moves up to be the sun above, which it is in truth, while you stay with the central sun, which is also true, and the most profound, and yet the three are one and you, yet they are a staff whereby earth connects to heaven

fourth, the hands are put together before the heart and the light of that sun is poured into the hands and out the fingers which are pointed beneath the chin aimed to the center of the head, where is seen the pinecone of light, and you see the pine cone within the head, and seen together with the entire self within the pinecone at the same time, holding both, what is within you are within and what you are is also that which is without

with the completion of the prior step, the fifth and last step happens almost automatically, as the within/without finds the balance, the inward downward flow begins to move in a circular fashion, becoming a downward spiral and the movement reaches the root and spins then the other way spiraling back upward, forming the caduces as exits the head, forming a double helix, or torsion field.

I practiced this several times a day for a few years after I was given it in '08. Progressively the steps became more and more habit until I was pretty much doing the whole thing instantly, and now I can't even stop it every time the sun shines on my face.

anyway, this has been a source of great help and healing, and most of all, Fun.

Here and Now...you could blow me down with a feather. When I was 16, my father and step-mother withdrew me from high school so that I could watch my little brother, an infant. That lasted a couple of years. Then, my Dad (his Dad) passed away when he was (I think) a very young teen. I found him on facebook a while back and once in a long while he pops up with an update. I never understand his updates. He seems to be a vagrant or some such, so I worry, I send ho'oponopono, I say a little prayer once in a while. He is fully an adult at this point, has had a couple of run-ins with the law.

Today for some reason, I got curious about a word someone used on his facebook wall, the word "gathering." He was trying to go to a "gathering." He keeps updating his status from these weird places, all over the country, but never seems to say much. That's why I think about him from time to time I guess, wondering if he is homeless and hitch-hiking and running from the police or something. Well, researcher that I am, haha, I found what he was talking about. I'm speechless.


Rainbow Gatherings are temporary intentional communities,[1] typically held in outdoor settings, and espousing and practicing ideals of peace, love, harmony, freedom and community, as a consciously expressed alternative to mainstream popular culture, consumerism, capitalism and mass media.

Rainbow Gatherings and the Rainbow Family of Living Light (usually abbreviated to "Rainbow Family") are an expression of a Utopian impulse, combined with bohemianism, hipster and hippie culture, with roots clearly traceable to the counterculture of the 1960s. Mainstream society is commonly referred to and viewed as "Babylon", connoting the participants' widely held belief that modern lifestyles and systems of government are unhealthy, unsustainable, exploitative and out of harmony with the natural systems of the planet. The original Rainbow Gathering was in 1972, and has been held annually in the United States from July 1 through 7 every year on National Forest land.[2] Throughout the year, regional and international gatherings are held in the United States and throughout the rest of the world respectively.

Relations with law enforcement and local communities are frequently an issue. Media coverage is often unfavorable, focusing on drug use, nudity, assaults, fugitives, serious traffic charges such as drunken driving and the countercultural aspects of the assemblage. Nevertheless, the Gatherings have proven a durable and international phenomena for over 40 years.[3]

Oh, dear. What to do with this one.

Much Love,

Thanks Paula!

I just came out of a 30 day dark hole and since I am out of it and not infectious anymore, I risked the Here and Now thread.

I am sorry I missed your other posts - If I see a post directly to "me" I would always respond... OK, back to "chewwing." (this is how a wookiee spells chewing I learned).

1inmany - what a great smile!!! Thanks for the Avatar Pic -from the chewwiest

Hello justonewookiee,

This was the post I referenced. [click here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=641526&viewfull=1#post641526)]. Strange it now seems like life times ago. :wave:

Thanks Paula - well, I did what some would call a "dumb thing." I left paradise (Costa Rica), and some awesome "friends" I have there, the cleaner air, the fresh foods I buy that the growers in the mountains bring down and sell in the markets, the weather, the weather, the weather... and it seemed there was far, far less "scalar weaponry", HAARP interaction, etc. - far less vampires other than the girls down at the Del Rey (but they are pretty easy to handle... cause I don't go there anymore) and the Latin world which I love! You don't have to worry about whether or not someone will actually be on time there, because they never are... and you don't have to wonder if they are trying to screw you when you buy something, they always are... and well, I just loved it there.

But I had a reason to come to Texas and so I put on my superman cape and flew to Dallas - got here on Feb 7th.

In less than 4 weeks, the food, the "water" (or so they call it), the massive adverting everywhere... walked into a grocery store and they actually have some audio advertisement you can hear in the parking lot... the radio advertisng, TVs everywhere, TVs... and more TVs - Big TVS, loud TVs - did I say lots of TVs? The day I got here there was this lovely pattern in the sky of "vapor trails" - They sure got lotsa vapor around here - wow... and then I started to go downhill. Down, down, down... lost my connection to spirit even. That was when I became a clown for a few days - just felt it was all nothing but one big clown show on earth these days... And then, I started feeling that depressed feeling I hadn't experienced since before I discovered the Horus-Ra thread. That was the last straw.

Less than 4 weeks and I was giving up (which is no different than suicide... just slower).

But! Amzer Zo "chewed" me out and somehow, I set the ego to the side (I am beginning to think that's the secret by the way...) and well, I realized I stopped exercising and I realized I had begun to eat the foods I know I can't (I am prone to candida and seems I can't have gluten nor lactose) - and guess what I did?

I did a brisk walk for 1 hour and got serious about my diet (again) and in just 24 hours - I am BACK!

So thanks for your patience. Ohhh and...

Eve's cool. I have been fortunate to speak with her and she's definitely super cool. That Love Byte book - Bammo - Lucifera (my lovely ex) had to have inspired that piece of work. (me too, but I hate telling on myself).

And as far as psychopaths go... and I know some folks try and tell me I am not, but under my definition, I am a full blown psychopath and know myself pretty well. The difference is that I discovered it was more fun not being all about me all the time and so I am a "redeemed" psychopath. But if Steve Richards is right, I have a zillion "spirit" attachments because I have no doubt i have killed all sorts of animals and "human" animals too during my many lifetimes where I did not get permission at their soul level so to do... so I am one big massive ball of confusion as I have to be at least 1,000 spirits... and some of them are human and some of them are not from anywhere near earth and some of them have never been in the physical world till I sucked em into it.


Thinking of you, Dennis. Feeling like one bean in a cauldron of soup...

Brings to mind what Mother Teresa said, I've always loved her, that "if you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one."

My mind wants to go to explaining how many ways that applies, but I don't really need to I bet.

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.

Wow ... just got done listening to a new Clif High wujo.

One of the most fascinating ones ever.

First 15 minutes about sink holes which was quite interesting ... but goes into a totally mind-blowing "event" where he and several others with similar projects all independently were able to detect a ... *TIME EVENT* of some sort (on the same day in early February). Said "event" was also later confirmed by several psychics (for the same day).

Has Clif amazed and more than a little freaked. Interview gave me goosebumps.

Anyhoo ... reason for the link to Paula's post is I remembered her Deja Vu moment and wanted to check to see if the time periods matched up (apparently not).

Highly (no pun) recommend anyone interested in "time" concepts to give a listen.

Hello WookieeJustOne,

I came across a Native American version parasite of the mind called “wetiko”. It’s easier to read up on rather than the spend time on the Horus-Ra thread. I’m reading, “Dispelling Wetiko,” by Paul Levy & Catherine Austin Fitts. Here’s a video link: Dispelling Wetiko (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?3596-Up-At-The-Ranch--James-Gilliland-and-Trout-Lake-&p=639656&viewfull=1#post639656)

“...wetiko, a contagious psycho spiritual disease of the soul, a parasite of the mind that is currently being acted out en masse on the world stage via a collective psychosis of titanic proportions. This mind-virus, which Native Americans have called "wetiko" covertly operates through the unconscious blind spots in the human psyche, rendering people oblivious to their own madness and compelling them to act against their own best interests.”

My perspective is that it was freeing to know there’s a name for what my gut has shown me my entire life. I was raised by someone who had archonic energy. It also explained why I was protective of my siblings. Then and now, I feel a wave of energy change. Sometimes it’s cold and clammy, sometimes it’s a huge boom in my gut and head, or my heart throbs and pounds. I hold my breath. As if in slow motion, I watch the escalation of temperaments morph.

All this time, I’ve labeled myself as crazy, weak, or bad for judging what I see. Now....Game’s over. It’s freeing. Knowledge busted me out of that paradigm. I see with different eyes. That’s the critical difference. False label's gone. I do not attach a label to myself. That pulls me into the game. I watch. It subsides. It fizzles away.

I believe there’s a counter balance to the darkness in this duality space. And it pounds on the Light or Lighted Ones, all to prevent them from seeing their greatness. If darkness plays the trickster to us Lighted Ones, then it’s easy to take hold of and infect the many. So I do my part and recognize when I allow myself to get sucked into the quicksand. And stop. It’s darkness’ game to use the Lighted One’s power to escalate the trauma/drama 100 fold. It has none of it’s own. So, I make conscious choices to either lighten the atmosphere by joking, or call someone on their folly, end my associations with a person/group or leave. I know to leave is positive action and not running from the problem.

To the point of past lives:

I am a sum total of this life and past lives. There’s much more good that overrides any potential garbage from other lives. That history is freed. Call it implant removed or implanted. They’re just words. Words that root into a body that trickster darker ones just love it when I allow myself to plop right into their paradigm.

I believe everyone on this planet is here because they are the greatest Warriors in Mother Earth’s history. We are back one last time to move us all into the age of care, share and Love. So that is where my focus and purpose resides.

Hearts,
Paula

Welcome to the gauntlet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauntlet_%28punishment%29)proper.

[yukondiva]

Here and Now...you could blow me down with a feather. When I was 16, my father and step-mother withdrew me from high school so that I could watch my little brother, an infant. That lasted a couple of years. Then, my Dad (his Dad) passed away when he was (I think) a very young teen. I found him on facebook a while back and once in a long while he pops up with an update. I never understand his updates. He seems to be a vagrant or some such, so I worry, I send ho'oponopono, I say a little prayer once in a while. He is fully an adult at this point, has had a couple of run-ins with the law.

Today for some reason, I got curious about a word someone used on his facebook wall, the word "gathering." He was trying to go to a "gathering." He keeps updating his status from these weird places, all over the country, but never seems to say much. That's why I think about him from time to time I guess, wondering if he is homeless and hitch-hiking and running from the police or something. Well, researcher that I am, haha, I found what he was talking about. I'm speechless.


Rainbow Gatherings are temporary intentional communities,[1] typically held in outdoor settings, and espousing and practicing ideals of peace, love, harmony, freedom and community, as a consciously expressed alternative to mainstream popular culture, consumerism, capitalism and mass media.

Rainbow Gatherings and the Rainbow Family of Living Light (usually abbreviated to "Rainbow Family") are an expression of a Utopian impulse, combined with bohemianism, hipster and hippie culture, with roots clearly traceable to the counterculture of the 1960s. Mainstream society is commonly referred to and viewed as "Babylon", connoting the participants' widely held belief that modern lifestyles and systems of government are unhealthy, unsustainable, exploitative and out of harmony with the natural systems of the planet. The original Rainbow Gathering was in 1972, and has been held annually in the United States from July 1 through 7 every year on National Forest land.[2] Throughout the year, regional and international gatherings are held in the United States and throughout the rest of the world respectively.

Relations with law enforcement and local communities are frequently an issue. Media coverage is often unfavorable, focusing on drug use, nudity, assaults, fugitives, serious traffic charges such as drunken driving and the countercultural aspects of the assemblage. Nevertheless, the Gatherings have proven a durable and international phenomena for over 40 years.[3]

Oh, dear. What to do with this one.

Much Love,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Gathering

I want to assure you that not all people who attend gatherings are in trouble. I spent several years on purpose hitchiking around the country when young and yes I have been to gatherings, what a wonderful experience it was. Usually no alhcohol allowed,acid, mushrooms weed yes, money no only bartering. However I am sure some things may have changed, for instance burning man was born of the rainbow movement. We may have been young and carefree, that was the point. Gatherings can be a great point to grow from, and usually we all grow up.

[1inMany]

Thanks, yukondiva and ulli...I needn't put the label of victim on my brother, I can actually allow myself to imagine him living the time of his life. All I could see was another soul in need...maybe needing a home, a friend. That gets weighty. I will get the courage up to reach out to him. He is a stranger to me, and I to him. A lifetime is a long time, but it feels like yesterday I was changing his diapers and smooching all over his little face, nurturing his little soul. He looks quite like my Dad, so looks like some work for me there.

Thank you for helping me see that he might be a free spirit, obviously he has broken away from the Jehovah's Witness mind programming spell. That alone is cause to rejoice in my book. Maybe he is an awakening soul, and we can reconnect at some point.

Much Love,

[donk]

Dang, my pocket kings were no good last night, shoulda held out for the ladies like I posted...when I was close to the bubble (last person in tournament out of the cash), I looked down and felt good about kings in the hole, even better when the only caller to my pre-flop all-in was ace-queen off-suit (hand I hate the most, never seem to win with it, always seems to beat me), so all I thought I had to dodge was a bullet (ace).

Flop comes 10-rag-rag (rainbow...as in: no possible flush), feeling good...

Turn is a jack...no way, now all of a sudden all I DON'T wanna see is that king I was hoping for pre-flop...

And the river?? Of course that third king comes...I mean, dude had 5 outs (the three aces to make top pair, and the kick in the nuts king, giving me a set but him broadway--straight of 10-J-Q-K-A)

Braodway crushes the hopes and dreams of the 3 kings. There's a metaphor in there somewhere...

Oh well, was fun, [relatively] cheap, and educational. Poker is the only voluntary competitive situation I put myself in, and I have been approaching it lately from a non-engagement position....where I am not playing to make money, to be better than anyone else, but rather to mainly test my discenment skills. The rules are cut and dry, there is no hiding from logic and math, there is a decent amount of skill involved, almost enough to take luck out of it...

Unfortunately, you can't take ALL the luck out of it--maybe that's what makes it fun, though I am awfully unlucky--which makes it not-so-fun at times. Also, I'm a terrible liar, so I don't even try bluffing--but I find it exciting to try to figure out when I'm being lied to. I've gotten pretty good at it, unfortunately there is always that luck factor, where the odds were something like 90% in my favor, and I never seem to avoid the few cards that can crush my soul.

When I can transcend the competitiveness of it, let go of ego and just stay in the moment, not overthinking, not expecting any particular outcome--that seems to be the only time I find success. Luck seems to come when I need it most, if I am in the right frame of mind...seems whenever my mindset is negative or preoccupied, I just give money.

Here & now I wish I was at the poker table rather than in front of this screen. There trying to make it legal (again) in my state to play online, maybe when that happens there's enough avalon card-players to get an online game...

[Carmody]

Donk,

I know the odd person who is so darned psychic and 'out of time', that they have permanent lifetime bans from Vegas.

They don't like psychic card readers there. I can do it to some degree and I can sharpen my skills, and be quite good. But these folks -are off the scale. They don't even like cards or care for the games and the money. They are simply capable of calling the cards before they hit the table, every time.

[Carmody]

They win as they are dispassionate, disconnected from the results. They don't care, they have no investment in the moment that would pull them in, and break their capacity to visualize.

The other trick is to to a physic clear and reset, for each hand. Otherwise the thing gets jumbled and it cannot be 'read'. It comes not from the forebrain, but emerges as a visualization coming out of the hindbrain.

Any form of involvement or emotional attachment, breaks the concentration of it, it breaks the connection. They win as they know how to do it and they don't care, they are not involved/invested.

If one IS invested, then a PUSH can be used to cloud the others, to blank their minds. Which is how the dirty players do it. One can win, as the others are not at home, one has blanked them out.

Is this bad karma, such behavior (blanking the rest at the table) and will it cost, at a later date?

Play with this sort of thing with a set of cards. To let the cards sit for a few seconds, before each turn. to allow the TIME of a reset in the mind to occur. There must be enough definition from one moment to the next so the time sense can understand one coming moment from the next coming moment..

If you eventually find that it does work for you, remember to not be invested ...and walk away from the table when the spell breaks. As soon as one cares and is invested, the spell breaks and the capacity disappears. The body would retreat into the now moment (save the avatar from the perceived danger) and not be able to read across time anymore.

Good? Bad? What to do...always temping, isn't it? :)

I'll go as far as trying to guess the lottery numbers, but that is difficult with other millions pushing things around, in their unaware states. A bit more fair. The best time, IMO, to guess the lottery numbers is closest to the cut off time for the given lottery. As in one hour before the draw time/date.

[Carmody]

Thinking of Léolo today.

JmrGImjmUZk

[donk]

Aw wow, that's wild Carmody, thanks for that.

I want to keep at the level of fun though...I'll continue to try REMOVING any chance of charmic debt from the game--attempt to "play the game" without playing it, without competition or ego or expectations from the universe, and most of all, the unknown (as Paula's been mentioning lately) is what I am drawn to.

If anything, I'd want to be like Damon in "Good Will Hunting" (heh, betcha thought I'd say "Rounders", eh!), where he can read everyone and know what they have (and then walk away saying "I don't play poker!") with subtle clues and feeling the energy. I don't want to be able to impose my will or confusion or manipulation on anyone...more than anything I want practise at knowing when someone is trying to decieve me.

As far as "not being invested", that's my goal in every interaction throughout life...I found that is the key to creating the most desirable reality you can have.

Was thinking...you could substitute "buddist" with poker player...the fam doesn't understand it all, the friends think it's something beyond them, when I play--I'm in some completely other world with completely other rules for a little bit (my favorite reason for playing), but really, I'm sitting at a table with an interesting cross-section of society playing cards.

[Malerogro]

So I do my part and recognize when I allow myself to get sucked into the quicksand. And stop. It’s darkness’ game to use the Lighted One’s power to escalate the trauma/drama 100 fold. It has none of it’s own. So, I make conscious choices to either lighten the atmosphere by joking, or call someone on their folly, end my associations with a person/group or leave. I know to leave is positive action and not running from the problem.

Thanks Paula, great way to handle :cool: I will remember it and will try to do the same! I stay for too long which only costs energy and does not contribute at all and is toxic for empaths ;)

Part 1: Ouverture

Aping my soul
You stole my overture
Trapped in God's program
Oh I can't escape

Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Why are we?
Who are we?
Where are we?
Why, why, why?

Woah

I can't forgive you
And I can't forget

Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Why are we?

Who are we?
Where are we?
When are we?
Why are we in here?

Part 2: Cross Pollination

Rise above the crowd, and wade through toxic clouds
Breach the outer sphere
The edge of all our fears
Rest with you
We are counting on you, it's down to you

Spread our codes to the stars
You must rescue us all

Spread our codes to the stars
You must rescue us all

Tell us, tell us your final wish?
Now we know you can never return
Tell us, tell us your final wish?
We will tell it to the world

Part 3: Redemption

Let's start over again
Why can't we start it over again
Just let us start it over again
And we'll be good
This time we'll get it, get it right
It's our last chance to forgive ourselves

Here's a place where we could have Dennis' luau. See, some of us are already there. I believe Dennis is the one at the edge of the surf, digging his toes into the warm sand.

Maybe it could be part luau, part clambake? I know a little about doing a clambake ... dig a hole in the sand, make a fire. I don't think I could put in clams though ... it'd have to be a cornbake and potatobake.

BTW, Astrid will have to come for sure... this is in Australia... 'The Loch Ard Gorge is part of Port Campbell National Park, Victoria, Australia.'

We actually did that one night with 4 people in the car...in a blizzard...at speed....while passing a joint between the driver and the passenger. We just shrugged.....and kept going. No one would have believed us, anyway.

[Carmody]

Aw wow, that's wild Carmody, thanks for that.

I want to keep at the level of fun though...I'll continue to try REMOVING any chance of charmic debt from the game--attempt to "play the game" without playing it, without competition or ego or expectations from the universe, and most of all, the unknown (as Paula's been mentioning lately) is what I am drawn to.

If anything, I'd want to be like Damon in "Good Will Hunting" (heh, betcha thought I'd say "Rounders", eh!), where he can read everyone and know what they have (and then walk away saying "I don't play poker!") with subtle clues and feeling the energy. I don't want to be able to impose my will or confusion or manipulation on anyone...more than anything I want practise at knowing when someone is trying to decieve me.

As far as "not being invested", that's my goal in every interaction throughout life...I found that is the key to creating the most desirable reality you can have.

Was thinking...you could substitute "buddist" with poker player...the fam doesn't understand it all, the friends think it's something beyond them, when I play--I'm in some completely other world with completely other rules for a little bit (my favorite reason for playing), but really, I'm sitting at a table with an interesting cross-section of society playing cards.

I used to walk past the employee (factory floor) lunch room in the mezzanine, every day. Some days, I'd do it at lunch time, and they'd be in there playing poker or whatever. I'd see them playing cards and then speak out the next card on the pile 'queen of spades!', as I walked by (through the open door as I passed). I was right every time. Freaked them out.

Considering how much money they lost on this John carter film, there will never be another. However, that is assuming there is a functional Hollywood around to not be making them.

It all depends on who is right about the heat transfer in the summer 2013 and 2014, when the north pole finally looses it's entire ice pack (or comes so close it makes no difference). it appears that this will probably happen either this year or next. The cumulative effects might finally start the runaway in a proper fashion. This will be near impossible to hide, and 'the fit will hit the shan'.

Dang, my pocket kings were no good last night, shoulda held out for the ladies like I posted...when I was close to the bubble (last person in tournament out of the cash), I looked down and felt good about kings in the hole, even better when the only caller to my pre-flop all-in was ace-queen off-suit (hand I hate the most, never seem to win with it, always seems to beat me), so all I thought I had to dodge was a bullet (ace).

Flop comes 10-rag-rag (rainbow...as in: no possible flush), feeling good...

Turn is a jack...no way, now all of a sudden all I DON'T wanna see is that king I was hoping for pre-flop...

And the river?? Of course that third king comes...I mean, dude had 5 outs (the three aces to make top pair, and the kick in the nuts king, giving me a set but him broadway--straight of 10-J-Q-K-A)

Braodway crushes the hopes and dreams of the 3 kings. There's a metaphor in there somewhere...

Oh well, was fun, [relatively] cheap, and educational. Poker is the only voluntary competitive situation I put myself in, and I have been approaching it lately from a non-engagement position....where I am not playing to make money, to be better than anyone else, but rather to mainly test my discenment skills. The rules are cut and dry, there is no hiding from logic and math, there is a decent amount of skill involved, almost enough to take luck out of it...

Unfortunately, you can't take ALL the luck out of it--maybe that's what makes it fun, though I am awfully unlucky--which makes it not-so-fun at times. Also, I'm a terrible liar, so I don't even try bluffing--but I find it exciting to try to figure out when I'm being lied to. I've gotten pretty good at it, unfortunately there is always that luck factor, where the odds were something like 90% in my favor, and I never seem to avoid the few cards that can crush my soul.

When I can transcend the competitiveness of it, let go of ego and just stay in the moment, not overthinking, not expecting any particular outcome--that seems to be the only time I find success. Luck seems to come when I need it most, if I am in the right frame of mind...seems whenever my mindset is negative or preoccupied, I just give money.

Here & now I wish I was at the poker table rather than in front of this screen. There trying to make it legal (again) in my state to play online, maybe when that happens there's enough avalon card-players to get an online game...

So where do you expect this particular path to lead you?
Improved discernment skills?
Is that the thing to do right after dissolving one's family?

I don't even see you questioning your belief in your "bad luck".
In my view questioning one's own beliefs and ensuring they don't become fixed ideas
which could perpetuate undesirable situations is the first step when starting over, don't you agree?

It wouldn't be, but I didn't exactly dissolve the family as intended--nothing really changed except the awareness of what I expect from V, which is her putting the family first, acting responsibily, losing the drama, and knowing if she chooses to drink around me--it is the choice to make me not want to be around her. As it is a tall order and sort of "probationary" period, it's kind of difficult to chronicle as such.

The cost of a buy-in at a poker tournament is the same as a night out around here, and is about the same amount of time (if you do well). My family always comes, I'm sorry for giving the impression that I'm out d!cking around with my boys world rocked at home, but I get out every now and then--they are used to that. The "break-up" went down when they were not in the house, she started off all dramatic but was smart enough to figure out that was the problem, stopped it, and then thanked me for the "much needed wake up call" and spent the rest of the weekend reflecting and planning to be more responsible. It has been transparent to the boys.

And so far, so good...we shall see how it goes, like I said--it is a tall order, her baggage has baggage and I'm not sure she understands why some of her paths/priorities may be misguided, I can only call it as I see it, and hope for the best. I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, second (and 2002nd) chances, and the biggest thing is that she understands I expect her to make these changes first and foremost for HERSELF, not out of fear of losing me...not to put ANY of the responsibility on me. And that while I don't expect perfection, I expect any slips that put my kids behind her or anything else to be recognized and corrected immediately or we're out the door.

Where do I expect the path to lead me? I dunno, but I can think of a lot worse to be on.

I had that happen to me going the other way, in a convertible when I was a kid (about 16).

Riding home from the beach past Dover Air Force base in the distance I swore I saw my first UFO, it was an F-14 (or whatever them Top Gun jets are) dancing around--it is amazing the way they can move...I couldn't figure it out what it was and looked totally alien when it was pointed straight up siloutted, it was like this but you could not see the gap in the delta of the wings:

Swore it was a UFO until it started opening and closing its wings and I recognized it for what it was.

Anyway it got way back behind us down the super straight route 1, and came over so low and fast, it was intense, them things are FAST

Thanks for that enlightening clarification, Donk.
Nothing wrong with an occasional night out, either.
There were some interesting comments earlier on, re avoiding investment
which could be useful in all sorts of circumstances.
I basically reacted to your statement which said you would rather be in a poker session
than the Here and Now...in front of your computer screen,
and that sounded to me like those comments re investment had gone right over your head.
Because while an occasional night out with friends is good in a lot of ways..like fellowship,
relaxation, fun and play, yet the moment it follows one around to the point where one wants to do it all the time...
that to me sounds like you have made it your number one priority in life and you are investing your heart...
Hence my question about your path, or quest. Sorry to be a nag.

Today's ForbiddenKnowledgeTV message
http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/videos/money/richie-rich-gets-richer.html

Last year, Rolls Royce sold more cars
than ever before in their 100-year history,
but then the luxury industry knows no crisis.

Since 2009 the rich have become on average
6 percent richer. So while one in six Americans
now has no health insurance, Manhattan's 58
billionaires have gotten richer.

As Manuel Koch points out the ratio of return
expected by the rich has totally shifted, "People
used to be happy making three million in profit.
Today, companies like Apple account for 6 billion
profit. That's profit! Not turnover."

Personally I have no problem with companies making profits, as long as they produce goods that a large number of people can benefit from. Every penny that does not go to the bankers, the military, or corrupt governments, counts.

[WhiteFeather]

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.

One of the most fascinating ones ever.

First 15 minutes about sink holes which was quite interesting ... but goes into a totally mind-blowing "event" where he and several others with similar projects all independently were able to detect a ... *TIME EVENT* of some sort (on the same day in early February). Said "event" was also later confirmed by several psychics (for the same day).

Has Clif amazed and more than a little freaked. Interview gave me goosebumps.

Anyhoo ... reason for the link to Paula's post is I remembered her Deja Vu moment and wanted to check to see if the time periods matched up (apparently not).

Highly (no pun) recommend anyone interested in "time" concepts to give a listen.

Hello Donk,

I'd like to share this, but please don't think I'm preaching. Just sharing an experience of my sister. It's in two parts.

In 2006, I/We lost sibling #8, my sister, "B" to drinking. Each of us helped in our own way either, financially, a place to stay, some enabled her with alcohol. No accountability was expected of her because she knew who to go to with sad puppy-eyes.

I’d drive two states up on Sunday to support her in recovery and therapy. After three months into this one year program, that a family member pulled some big strings to get her in, she signed her self out. "B" called a taxi and her first stop was to a bar. A brother took her in, and the same behaviors continued. That was my line in the sand. She knew how much to push and with whom. In the end "B" died alone. We surmised that she was reaching for the phone because she was found on the floor by her bed.

I only had one question that I would ask myself: What action steps is B taking to care and to empower herself? The answer was a nada, only make believe promises. Illusions of us believing her lies.

Part two: I love my Sister, and she’s still around.

Last spring, another sister, Cindy (name change) and I were coming back from our bi-annual pajama party at our cousins' place. I was prompted by B to share what I felt. So I told Cindy that B was with us the whole weekend. She agreed, but it was more out of courtesy. Cindy's most comfortable when she wears an analytical hat.

I added that she’s here now in the back seat. Then out of the blue, silly putty popped in my head. B, who had lovable elf/imp DNA, prompted me one last time. She wants me to ask you about silly putty.

Cindy is holding back tears while she reaches into the console between our seats and pulls out silly putty. Unbeknownst to me, B had given it to her a year before her passing. It was a reminder to play.

Thank you, Donk, for the opportunity to share about my loved ones. :wave:

Love,
Paula

Sometime soon, the populace of the west will be storming the Bastille. And they are going to find any rich in sight and reach... and put their heads on a pike.

Before, or as that happens, the elite will self righteously send the shock troops in.

The warning shot will be either Greece or Spain or Italy going totally off the rails. Within days or weeks of that, the shock troops slowly creep into patrolling the streets of the USA, in order to maintain order.

Each year, the peaks and swings get more and more wild... and each year we get closer and closer to it. It's that spring-summer-fall cycle, for the west. The "springtime for Hitler" motion of the middle east's yearly cycle should begin any day now. heat goes up..continues all summer, then overheats in the fall, then closes down for the 'winter'.

It has been doing that for as long as I can recall watching it. Decades. It is both the middle east and the contrived reporting cycle and flavors that are presented to the public. It is a very well adjusted, well worked out and slick/oiled machine.

[donk]

You weren't a nag, I was just concerned I was giving a bad impression. I love the here & now--even in front of the computer with avalon crunched in a tiny window always looking over my shoulder ;)...AND I was kinda stuck on that stupid hand...I just think it's kind of a neat metaphor, if you understand the game:

I felt so good about it, thought my intent was going to be validated...the way it played it out, it kind of did...I had two kings, and kind of asked the universe for third--turns out that was greedy, and stupid out of fear of bad luck--I didn't need it at the time...the kings were good enough, as long as no Ace came out (in poker-speak: I just had to dodge a bullet) or an unlikely low-percentage combination of 3 cards didn't come, I was fine.

WELLLL, the way hold 'em goes, the shared "community" cards came out with ONE card that could help, if the next two were specific cards--4 in the deck out of 30+ left...TWICE, and the last one was the King I asked for, the only card he could have won with--I had two and somoene mentioned they folded one--so there was one card in the whole deck: the card I prayed for. Ended my run.

I make a big deal out of it in my dramatic story, but really I have managed to lose my emotional attachment to stuff like that. It wasn't always that way, I took it real seriously when i first started playing. Always p!ssed when a "donkey" (inexperienced, bad player) didn't "play right" (and won a hand they shouldn't by crazy luck like the hand I mentioned), and would get upset with myself when I lost or made a mistake...that was the first part I had to take out of my game. The other (which I obviously haven't, and Carmody helpfully illustrated how I have to) is to not expect the impossible to always end up happening--against me!

It is funny, cuz a short while ago--I would have turned over the kings, saw the A-Q, would have put my coat on, even though I was ahead. After the flop, I would have still assume I was gonna lose, even though at that point the odds were over 90% in my favor...so I managed to change my attitude. And the irony is the card I asked for, I got. It just didn't help me win, it did the opposite actually.

As to my path...heh...doing my best to blaze the trail, though it seems the best option more often than not is to follow the path that's there, appreciating the here & now.

Thanks for the concern and attention--is never a "nag"

Ask yourself if you don't get it done today, will it matter in five years? If it won't matter in five years, don't worry about it until you feel like getting to it. That has helped me when I stress about things that aren't that important. Also, I try and just pick one task and stick to it and finish it before I worry about the next task. Hope that helps.

That's darn good advice sleepy! :)

Here's a slightly "mechanical" way of prioritising "things to do" (this is a very individual thing - IMPORTANCE relates to achieving your goals/tasks etc):

1 = Urgent AND Important - do it ASAP
2 = Important NOT Urgent - near future, maybe start it now
3 = Urgent NOT Important - usually interruptions, we all waste a lot of time here
4 = NOT Urgent or Important - sleepy's advice - these are things we often like to do but don't usually move us forward ;)

If it's a really big "thing", break it into smaller steps. Even the proverbial elephant can be eaten, not in one sitting, but one mouthfull at a time :)

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher Back for 'Star Wars'? George Lucas Says Yes

Sadly, I was not contacted to participate in this new "episode."

Could it have been they caught wind of my the clown phase?

Star Wars is such a focal point, just about everything can be referenced back to it. To bad Kevin Bacon wasn't in it. (I know the words in the comic are small, but it's worth squinting to read, IMO. If you don't then my statement doesn't make any sense.)

In the 80's I was a professional gambler. I lost near a million $$$s "professionally."

Tom must be busy this week,
no Pele report as yet. Still in Costa Rica
from all reports, Ulli, did you kidnap him?

Tom in Costa Rica? I wasn't aware of it though I knew from you he was going to be here at some time.
He must be having a ball, wherever he is.

I think my favourite quote from STAR WARS was from Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back:

"DO or DO NOT... there is no such thing as TRY..."

Even the whole concept of the "Force" sums up our Universe/All-that-is beautifully. It's as simple or complicated as we make it ;)

The Pastor's Ass

The Pastor entered his donkey in a race and
it won.

The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey
that he entered it in the race again and it won again.

The local paper read:

PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT.

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of
publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

The next day the local paper headline read:

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS.

This was too much for the Bishop so he
ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey.

The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent.

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted
the following headline the next day:

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

The Bishop fainted.

He informed the Nun that she would have to
get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

The next day the paper read:

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the
donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

The next day the headlines read:

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The ! Bishop was buried the next day.

The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion
can bring you much grief and misery . .. even shorten your life.

So be yourself and enjoy life.

Stop worrying about everyone else's ass and
you'll be a lot happier and live longer!

Have a nice day!

If I think about it, I can't say what my favorite SW quote is but every time (happened again a few days ago) I tell myself "I'll give it a try", I have that Yoda voice in my head telling me there is no try.

Hm, how about this: "choices of one shape the futures of all". That's a Jedi saying from one of the books.

Oh, new name! Speaking of Chewbacca...
I've met George Lucas. I was one of his lunch guests. He had two of his three kids with him, his son, Jett and daughter, Katie. I stayed at SkyWalker Ranch about 10 times. It was because my sister and her husband were the Ranch Managers up until about 5 years ago. They lived right there. Her husband is still part of the operation and stays there part time.

My sister had access to places that the public aren't privy to. I got to see a lot of neat things: drawings of the characters, all the way to the finished models, the original movie sets, and memorabilia like Harrison Ford's leather jacket and bull whip. I've got a photo of my son with the Darth Vader's mask.

My favorite is the original Yoda which is now sealed and on display in the building where George's office is. I was in his office a couple of times when he wasn't in. He had a large desk calendar with his schedule. It had SW (Star Wars) and arrows through the days of the week. On the mantle of the fireplace, he had all the action figures from the movies. He's a regular, nice guy, and he's very shy.

In the photo, I'm the one hugging my brother and sister. The lady in the first row is another sister (not the one from the ranch) and the boy with the soccer ball shirt is my son. Those are the real deals in the displays. This photo was taken in the 1980's.

Wow. Is there a "I almost fainted when I read this" smiley? Oh wait, there actually is: :faint:

On another note: it's my second week as a Vegetarian. I like meat but I had a change of heart recently. Never thought I'd become a Vegetarian but I feel that I can no longer condone the suffering of animals, just so I can eat them. Industrial livestock farming is a crime.

Going to the city today, M's therapy. I leave early and get back to pick up kids from school, barely. I will, today, turn back around and take Little One to his Mommy's for the weekend. Things are ever so slowly progressing there. He is excited, and misses his mom and his "dad." That one won't come out of my mouth, I find it repulsive at this point. I'm working on it. Though excited, he does tend to act out when visits get close. Last night I had to walk out of the house to keep from losing my temper, but I didn't make it before I raised my voice...too much. That happens, I am learning, when I'm really tired. I came back in, and Little One was sitting on the floor in the kitchen. I was a little surprised, but he explained that he had sat himself in time out for what he had done, for hurting me. I guess I'm doing something right. No violence is such a basic rule for our household that it gets frustrating when it appears to not be understood, much less followed.

Keeping this in the forefront of my mind today:

I was going to say "I'm trying to..." then thought of Yoda. hahaha

Keeping the goat theme goin'. Life’s about choice. Live life in illusionary fear or love and joy? Repost for the new people.

Finally!

Welcome to Costa Rica, Tom. Yeah, I went through that sickness purification phase...it went on and on.
It changed me more than all the books I ever read.

The birds you hear in the background makes a nice change from the roaring noisy streams he normally chooses to tape his Pele Reports next to.

When we are in our jungle house by the beach we hear those birds echoing all the time. I'm so ready to share this Costa Rica experience with Avalonian friends, just don't know how to go about it.
And here in the mountains it's different, still....Costa Rica has 45 micro climates at least, so every zone has it's own character...in one day one can change dimensions several times. Makes up for the lack of northern four seasons....you go through seasonal change daily.
There is even a dry desert like zone that looks like an African savannah.

[ulli]

After listening to the Pele report I also realized how that Venus Mercury conjunction shifted me away from Avalon, and reading and posting....instead I was being more social, and also sat yesterday for hours making jewelry...and which made me feel so good.

So Venus is associated with laziness, and Mercury with communication, as in writing and thinking. Hence less posts.
Meanwhile Venus is also about love and beauty, and therefore can stimulate creativity. Especially in Pisces, with it's inspirational energy.
Meanwhile Aquarius has intuition energy. Scorpio and Capricorn have psychic energy. Aries has impulse energy, as in primitive animal instinct. There is infinite variation in how energy expresses itself.

These trees are everywhere in Costa Rica..we have one right here on our land. They call them arboles pintados, or painted trees.

I have another chicken, a 1O week old,Aracana/Australorp cross, that, fingers crossed should lay blue/green eggs.
Magic was getting bullied by my 2 brown girls so i decided to get another black girl to balance out my flock.
New chicky is lovely, tame and sweet, and follows Magic around everywhere, they have bonded straight away.
I will still keep them separated until the black baby is up to more full size.
I learned that the brown breed has been known to be nasty with other types, so i have a battle to try and smooth out.
One of the breeders was telling me that even as little chickens they tend to roost in colors, which i find fascinating,
almost racism, chicken style....

On another front, my Mother called me today and apologized to me for the first time in 49 years,
i nearly fell off my fitball, lol. We had a call a couple of days ago that i ended as i made certain things
clear to her. Details are not important, but i have been working on her energetically, in stealth for a while
now and had not seen any signs of any of it manifesting into 3D, until now..
So blow me over with a feather... wonders do happen.
