Here and Now...What's Happening?

[1inMany]

I have had a weekend full. I wouldn't know how to express what it was full of, but it was full for sure. Magic and Mystery, Trust and Surrender, Excitement and Coming Home, Reunion and Love, Power and Bliss.

Yeah, there's a partial list.

I am so grateful.

And upon arriving home, I am reminded that internal changes can be so big that it takes time for even the closest to my heart to adjust. As if allowing myself to adjust is the easy part, which it has not been, I then will have another even bigger exercise in Trust, that It's Okay.

Things are changing so fast. I wonder if this is how it feels to leap...

Much Love,

True compassion and bravery in people's hearts is something special... I must warn, it's very hard to watch these without shedding a tear.

All I have been able to say for days is WOW...

Might be time to resurrect the ole animated WOW! :)

Maybe I will be able to share bits and pieces as they sink in. Which may take the rest of my life here, haha.

I can tell you this, someone who shall remain nameless, Reilly, talked me into letting my 14 year old daughter drive his car. Okay, can you say, "friend for life?" And she has stones absolutely everywhere, and has set up the coolest spots in her room full of cards and pictures and whatchamacallits...and her life changed in one weekend.

Well, mine obviously did, too...but it will take more than one night home to absorb it all.

Study just came out: equates fast food with an addiction level that is directly comparable to that of Heroin.

You can thank all that chemical design for that one. Billions of $$ poured into the effort. oh yeah, the patent office, as well. And the law that gave personhood to a corporation. This trio of components is the larger part of what made a corporation - and it's desire to hold a personal position. A position where it wholly owns control over demand for it's products. (and all the other associated issues and tactics)

as for cars: I got busted taking the family car out for joy rides when I was 13-14. Of course, I chose the near 400hp station wagon....

I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find.
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
But it's what you find.

With that skipping rope, the trampoline
The crafty smoke that made us choke
But we didn't give up hope
It's just the simple ways, of getting paid
The carelessnes of running away
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

cos you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured our home town
But you've forgotten where you are
And it will stay with you until you're mind's been found
and it has been found wondering around
...

Wow. Where has this been? Amazing...

How did google get this picture of me, I wonder...

Although the picture doesn't do justice to the transformation of my being, nor the movement in my mind. The duality in me lives, the struggle caused by it, but also the Unity which encompasses it. Complex is the nature of movement, as complex as it is simple.

Thank you for sharing the video, Skippy. At the end, when everyone joins hands, I got goose bumps on my goose bumps. Oh, I can feel it for sure.

Blessings to us all on this day, a rare and beautiful gift. (And may I, personally, remember that is what it is as I wade through to the clarity, haha.)

When I think about what I was not conscious of a year and a half ago, and I think about what is in my consciousness now, I'm amazed. When I think of what I haven't even touched yet, I'm amazed. When I think of what is Inside, I'm amazed. When I stop and listen to the Awareness, I'm amazed. There is so much there I do not yet access.

And to think that something is sitting on the edge of all this Mystery, waiting to leap and rip it from me, I'm aggravated. I'm aggravated at myself. How could I possibly not leap? What is the nature of this? At least I have identified the nature of it, and I guess that is a big step. But it doesn't feel any better to know. No, I can't say that, it does feel better to know. It just doesn't make the task at hand any easier.

There have been times I have seen a task at hand, daunting as it might be, and bulldozed ahead without a single thought. That is knowing. That is following the knowing. That is allowing Me to work through Myself. And through distant eyes, I can see great Mystery unfold.

Then there are the times when I just don't feel up to it. So I ask, why would I not feel up to it? It isn't as if I am on a cliff, literally, and about to dive in the dark. But it feels like it.

I think that is fear. That must be what fear is. Fear does not exist in one place Inside. That's the place I'm struggling to stay within. Fear comes from outside me, but it is ever so sneaky and convinces my mind it came from Me.

Let the Magic in, Me. Let the Mystery unfold Within. Become what I Am. Listen to the Subtleties. Follow the Voice.

One of these days...I will sit Inside Me. And I will be what I Am. And I will join, consciously, with those I now join unconsciously, and I will Know. I Will. And the Protector in Me that works overtime outside my mind will rest within. And that Moment will be Mine. No matter the reactions of those around me, It Must Be So. And...furthermore...I want it so badly I can taste it.

Random. I know. But all this...is my here and now. It is.

Much Love,

Much Love,

Bulldozing ahead...that is the path for Cancerians if they want to attain enlightenment.
The nature of the crab is to walk sideways, to be indirect, to stay in their holes, holed-up, to raise their young.
Equally the path of enlightenment is when Capricorn relinquishes their patriarchal self, leaves the office and work place, channels their ambitions in an orderly way, and learns to cook and takes housekeeping courses.
In other words, approach that midpoint between Cancer and Capricorn.
Interesting how they named those latitudes Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn. Te midpoint is the Equator, which is also the belly of the planet (belly or stomach is ruled by Cancer, but can also be seen as the mountain, if you are looking from the poles. Mountain top is the goal for the Capricorn goat, who must climb.
The knowledge of ones planets helps with defining what do do to overcome their influences, and enter the free zone. Thanking Jiminii's Scientology threads for bringing that term to my vocabulary.

Here & now I just noticed I had two texts, one from my ex's phone, if I interpreted it correctly she tried ending her time on this plane yet again by running her car into a wall, seems to have gotten close--"airlifted somewhere down south"

The other is a buddy offering to fly me to Florida to hang and meet a dude "of a like mind who I need to have a convo with". My ex in Florida, maybe my friend is "somewhere down south".

Ive been trying to get to a better level of communication with her parents for days, now everything went sideways. Im so used to **** that would make soap operas seem fake that it is disturbing. My life is soap opera too outrageous for TV. The more I try to rid drama, the more I get offered

Are you feeling adventurous?...my friend had asked. Heh, I'm not sure what that even means anymore. Adventure is my normal. Got any "boring" to offer?

All i can do is try my best to love, love, love. Clutch the Reilly-recommended crystal under my pillow and pray for peace for my kids' mom, peace of mind & sanity for my son and his grandparents, pray my friend's adventures don't disturb my quest for peace.

Good night village, being here helped me feel more peaceful. Love you all

I got my first cukes! 3 big 'uns. One for breakfast.

My thumb is not really the greenest, me and my boy planted a few cucumbers, a handful of tomatoes (coming along nicely) and a pair of peppers (plants look nice but nothing pepper-wise yet)

My strawberries my boy bought at a yard sale seem consumed in a mass of plant life, I think I know which are the strawberries but not sure. I gotta look it up and see for sure what the ant looks like, in my initial digging around I got stung twice. Forgot the shock of the initial pain of them Lil basterds...I been stung about 3-4 times in my life, always more than once...at least this time not a wasp

Good morning, everyone.
Mornings to me are about reflection,
and at the moment I'm failing to see
the funny or hilarious aspect of life.

So back to my meditative spiritual roots.
Although I was confirmed in the Lutheran church
and as a result have quite a good understanding
of the biblical scriptures, yet found this to be lacking.

So after a few years of intensive spiritual search, Sufism,
Bagavat Gita, Buddhism, I found the Bahai teachings, where
I then committed to serve the community for 19 years.
Yet I turned my back on that as well, after discovering evidence that this lovely message
had also been corrupted by interpreters, despite warnings from the founder.

But now the Internet is showing some signs of individual initiatives that are really quite
special, and reflect the true spirit of Baha'u'llah...the way I understood it initially.

My mornings, If I allow them to form naturally, by not staying up past the witching hour, are about the digestion of the morning paper.

The one that foretells the events of the coming day.

But, after a while, I begin to feel like the guy at Woodstock, working with the organizers. The one saying the same thing again and again, to those who pass by. 'Please walk ON the grass'.

Thanks.
I do not often analyze movies in this way. I like to get the emotional impact without a lot of rationalization. Zombies are Zombies. But...I had never ever made the connection between Zombie movies and the sleep-walking masses. Is that the appeal? Do people actually figure out what the writer meant and decipher the elements in the movie as philisophical data points with loose, figurative connections to reality? Even fluff movies? Like Animal House, with John Belusi, even? Interesting.

Something to think about (as if I'd ever run out...)

Unbelievable!
We were just watching the local news, and they were talking about the canonization of Pope John Paul II which is now going ahead.

They needed a second miracle to declare him a saint.
So there on the TV was this tear-faced woman, and she is not only from Costa Rica, but from
the same town where my husband's office is.
And her story was that a drop of blood from that pope which was one of the relics in that church produced the miracle which a few days later cured her.

She had apparently suffered from a brain aneurism and searching for a miracle
she visited a church in Paraiso, where she prayed for a cure.
Paraiso is the capital of the canton where we live...
although she lives in the town where my husband's main office is.
So many connections...

And she was indeed miraculously cured.

Apparently this happened in 2011.
Then a few minutes later her husband was interviewed to confirm her story,
and to my husband's surprise he recognized him as a patient of his.

And so I said it was my husband's energy that cured her, not a drop of blood from a long-dead pope.
As I said...unbelievable.

This is the tune in my head today. I think the words would upset me if I knew what they were. I think I know what this song is about...it is not a nice topic. But what a tune. Such energy, such passion, such talent. I remember this song from SNL. So I tend to ignore the meaning and enjoy the funk, the cord progression and this amazing woman's inspiration. Too bad her muse was such a nasty experience...

Congratulate you
Said you had a double tongue
Balancing cake and bread
Say goodbye to a glitter girl

Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

Say goodbye tot he old world

Ran into the Henchman who severed
Anee Boleyn
He did it right quickly a merciful man
She said 1 + 1 is 2
But Henry said that it was 3
So it was
Here I am

Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

And Jamaica
Do you know what I ahve done
Mary M weaving on said
What you wnat is in the blood Senators
I got a Big Bird on the fishing line
With a bit of a shout a bit of a shout
A bit of an angry shout
He's my favourite hooker of the whole bunch
And I know about his only Bride
And how the Russians die on the ice
I got my rpae hat on
Honey but I always could accessorise
And I never cared too much for the money
But I know right now
That it's in God's hands
But I don't know who the Fahter is

Talula
Talula
You don't want to lose her
She must be worth losing
If it is worth something
Talula
Talula
She's brand new now to you
Wrapped in your papoose
Your little Fig Newton

This is a post I wrote on Chinaski's "Can you feel it, I can't" thread yesterday.
It contains some musings about the Village, and so Im sharing it here.

Hi Ulli,

Can you scan through the parent website where that article was taken from, and at least tell me what page the parent article is on? (So I can try "reading" it with a translator program.)
http://www.zsw-bw.de/

might be this page: http://www.zsw-bw.de/ or the fun video on this page (you'll be dancing) : http://www.zsw-bw.de/infoportal/filme.html#c2161

Sorry, Dennis. It's only flyer; has no links.

OK.
Here is a page where they are talking about building the foundation for the
production of these Lithium cells, and what capacity of production they envision.
Looks like it's early days yet.

Did you dance down the rabbit hole? :~)

If that battery technology is anywhere near what they are saying, I think it would outlast other lithium batteries probably at least 5:1, so this won't be the last we hear of it (unless squashed by the Big Energy Mafia.)

Foundation for the manufacture of large lithium-ions-batteries in Germany created ZSW arranged with industry gives utilization a new plant to the investigation of production procedure in Europe it until now only limited knowledge in the manufacture position of large lithium-ions-cells.

A new Forschungsproduktionsanlage at the center for solar energy of Baden and hydrogen research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) in Ulm should change that from 2015. At the plant will develop after the Fertigstellung ZSW scientist with leading German Industrieun-ternehmen series near manufacture procedure and new material for standardized prismatische lithium rechargeable batteries. That representatives of the research institute and the businesses in an agreement on determined put five years on the 29th of May 2013. To the signers, the BMWS belong CORP., Daimler CORP., Elring Klinger CORP., Manz CORP., Rockwood lithium of GmbH and SGL Carbon GmbH. Goal is, to increase the quality and security of the lithiums batteries, to sink the costs and to construct a strong cell industry and battery industry in Germany. The super rechargeable batteries can be used not only in the electro mobility, so dern for example also to the solar energy storage. Next to the agreement with the industry, also the laying of the foundation stone resulted at the ZSW Ulm for the fourth eLaB building section. Building of large in the 3,000 square meters is erected the plant unique throughout Europe. The State of Baden-Württemberg promotes the buildings expansion with six million Euro that supported become research devices for the plant by the federal ministry for development and research (BMBF) with 23.5 million Euro. At the celebration in the pit pit prof. took Dr. wolf Dieter Lukas, Ministerialdirektor in the Bun- desministerium for development and research, Rolf Schumacher, Ministe- rialdirektor in the ministry for finances and economy Baden-Württemberg, Ulms mayor Ivo patron and Dr. Hubert hunter, chairman of the board of the industry association competence network lithium ions batteries e. V. (KLiB), part. The Industriever- alliance initiated the activities and supported the planning energetic. Strategic space in the net value added chain closes itself "with the construction of the research production plant becomes in Germany country a strategically important competence constructed", says professor Werner Tillmetz, ZSW board of directors. "in the last years could we at the 2 center for solar energy of Baden and hydrogen research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) location Ulm: Helmholtzstr. 8, D-89081 Ulms ZSW large, internationally noted obtain progress in the lithium ion cell technology. The expansion of our competences on fabrication processes series near to the manufacture of large cells in the standard format the logical consequence is now". At the plant can investigated and develops further become in the future series near fabrication processes of prismatischen lithium cell with a capacity of more than 20 at the perestunden. The plant permits a fabrication of at least 300 cells per day with reproduzierba- rer, high quality and sizes after DIN standards. Users of the plant can limp look at assess there also new materials and components in that the processable-ness in the industry relevant background in an entire production process. Through the modular construction, it becomes to qualify possible, new more high-performance procedures and Anlagenkom-ponenten along the entire process chain in a professional test environment, without having to interfere into a commercial Zellproduk- tion. Ten constructed measured around took itself also middle-class businesses in the frame of research cooperations possibilities, Innovative drafts for components, process and Qualitätssiche- to test. Lithium-ions-batteries are a key component both for modern hybrid cars and pure battery vehicles and for the decentralized storage of current out of photovoltaic arrays. The manufacture position of the batteries is connected with a high net value added. Politics, research and business force therefore a production in Germany.

Sounds like you already have the gist that this is a preliminary breakthrough, not an announcement that they are ready as a full-production battery manufacturer on this battery (though I do see something about 300 cells per day.)

Thanks Ulli, maybe we can ask Christian when he wakes up to sort through the nuances and see if it is preliminary hype or ...

Two Crocodiles were sitting at the side of the swamp near the lake. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age; we were the same size as kids. I just don't get it.'

'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?'

'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc.

'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'

'Down the other side of the swamp near the parking lot by the Capitol.'

'Same here. Hmm. How do you catch them?'

'Well, I crawl up under one of their Lexus cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the $h!t out of them and eat 'em!'

'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the $h!t out of a Politician, there's nothing left but an a&&hole and a briefcase.

I wanted to thank everyone here for all the sharing of personal experiences. This is such a wonderful thread, it is a shame not all Avalonians have taken it seriously. It could have been the place we finally all come together, in unified purpose. It might still in the future.

The more time that goes by the more I feel distanced from this community. It has been a great litmus test for me. I have come to understand that I am not in the majority - not even here. This saddens me.

I love you all, and in the deepest sincerity I wish we could have seen eye to eye but alas it's not to be. I bow my head in aquiescence to the majority. Have it your way, that is your right. I hope your choices leave us with a better world sometime in the future - I am now convinced it will not be my vision.

I believe I was put on this planet for a purpose, and I have stayed true to that goal. It wasn't a pretty job but someone had to do it. For a while there, it seemed I might be required to do more. Thank God, it has been shown to me that it is not so. Mine was a secondary role, a role of messenger, and the message is nasty - with positive overtones. I'm truly sick of it; it has sickened me. The very same job I was called upon to perform also keeps me locked in too low to effect any significant, lasting change. My head is full of the negatives I had to assimilate and then disseminate to others - for over 35 years now. Oops, forgot how old I am - so, it's more like 40 years now.

I tried to work things out in my own head but it comes down to opposing views that I do not support. I hope I am wrong in my assessment.

You know, I spend much of my time when I'm not online composing posts in my head for this place. It has become an obsession. But it is one thing to be obsessed when you're winning, when you're gaining support. It's entirely another when you're not. And anyways, why preach to the choir? They supposedly already know the material I have to offer.

For these and other reasons, I am taking another leave of absence here. Hopefully you folks can carry on without me.

I post this here because you are my friends, my extended family and I care for you.

Well, givin' an eaglespirit Village update Here and Now...

My oldest Daughter will be returning from California in a couple days with the lil' munchkin Grandkids, they visited Grandma and Grandpa out there for a few weeks, a very good thing : )
It has been just me and Purdy girl at the house and enjoyin' the Cape : )

I had plans on the back burner to get to Nova Scotia to connect with some Friends and the Spirits up there, and well...
it is happening sooner than later.

A Friend of mine got in touch that has recently put his Dad to rest (he has been helping care for his Mom and Dad for years in Florida with his Sisters, they take turns and are wonderful Folks : )

I met this Friend at ECETI a couple years ago and He just emailed me and asked if I wanted to get to Nova Scotia and of course I said yes and we will be on our way at the end of the week.

I will have You All at the Village with me in my Spirit Doings and will probably create a Medicine Wheel up there at the wonderful place we will be staying (it has been named ECETI East) by the fantastic Lady that lives there that I also met at ECETI, ummm... ECETI west : )

I'll be a bit slight on the internet in the next weeks so wanted to share my doings...
Ya'All are with me : )

Love! Love! Love!

I got overwhelmed by trying to keep up with this thread, well, no, that's not quite right... I got overwhelmed by trying to keep up with as much of people's lives as they were posting in this thread. I thought I could just pop in occasionally and say hello, but I would read snippets and realize that I had completely lost the pulse, didn't know enough to make any salient (or especially, meaningful and compassionate) comments - without spending a couple of hours back-reading. I didn't want to just throw in a video or a hand-wave (it felt inadequate and disconnected), so I stayed out of this thread until... I had more time. (Will I ever have more time?)

So, if you, Ernie, are feeling like you are making posts, spilling your soul, and not connecting...well, I'm sorry for my part of the lack of reciprocation.

By all means, take a break, but can I ask a favor? Can you please point me to one or three or five posts that you have made that you feel best represents the information that you are compelled to share? How do you measure "gaining support?" How can you tell when you have made a positive influence on someone? Surely, you're not looking for acolytes and converts, so you know that (outside of that cult-following realm) we influence others in subtle ways, right?

("opposing views that I do not support" : Maybe in a PM, tell me whose views are in opposition to yours. You have me curious.)

Since my computer is mia, well I know who has it and she's not giving it up, I've resorted to my phone. Can't thank anything, probably will be weird typos...but I'm here.

Ernie...please don't go. I don't think I can express how much you will/would be missed.

I'm sitting here realizing how I just don't fit in. Anywhere. People all around, knowing who they are, or not knowing they are any more than what they see. Or people knowing full well who they are. And I simply do not know anyone like me. I feel comfortable, for the most part, on Avalon...even though I don't venture out of the village often. I have changed just enough to be an oddball around everyone I know irl, but haven't changed quite enough to identify with any particular goup.

So I thought I would just say so. This sucks.

Its best not to worry about it.
As long as it bothers us the programmers are winning.

I've never fitted in....my entire life I was an outsider.
In the village school back in Germany I was not a part of the gang because I lived on an isolated farm, over a mile away.
In the high school in town I was the only country bumpkin.
In London I was the German. In Barbados I was the whitey.
In Costa Rica I'm the alien, and non-Catholic.
Amongst my poor Baha'i friends I was the rich bitch,
and amongst my high society friends I was the pauper.
How long did it take me to come to terms with it?
Can't remember...one day it just happened.
I guess when I found out I wasn't from this planet.....

Well I understand your post Dennis! It still doesn't keep me from posting about the HERE AND NOW :)

Lately it has been Marvelous outside IT FEELS GOOD

Yesterday was like a different time period here, the light was different...it is so hard to explain but there was a different air about the place :)

I have seen some threads going back and forth about "feeling things" haven't had the time to sift through all of tht GEesH! But im a FEELER and it has been most awesome in the air here last couple days..... We ALL get it from different angles, just because some of us feel/see things from unseen angels doesn't mean they dont exist...

Layin here with my cat on my lap nuzzling his chin on the edges of my iPad. I have a blanket over me, the remote by my side with the television on the Rays versus the Twins.

[1inMany]

Thank you, Ulli. (Insert cyber hugs here...and now)

And thank you, Villagers, for contributing to this place of safety.

This conversation K and I had yesterday has been bothering me I guess. And really, it's stupid, but showed me how "far out" I've gotten. You see, I bought Little One a dragon to go with his castle. And Em was playing with him, of course she was directed to be the dragon. And K overheard her telling Little One that dragons are extinct, and how that means they really existed in the first place. Boy, K did *not* like that. Of course they did absolutely not exist, he is going to go to kindergarten in a couple of months having had his head filled with this crap, and he likes rocks, and talks about angels...

And that, she says, means he will be weird. No other little boys have their heads filled with this crap.

Oh boy. And I said something like, "how do you know they didn't exist at some point? Because they haven't announced it on the nightly news?"

[1inMany]

Sorry, had to post that. Darned phone.

Anyway, you get the idea. I'm pretty weird, by her standards. And, dammit, I set her standards. I was the parent when she was growing up, last time I checked. Ugh. On the flip side, I'm not quite weird enough, apparently, because I can't qwuite remember through this fog.

I will get there. Will keep pushing ahead.

Much Love-thanks for listening :)

Hey Villagers--I'm still here :horn:

For whatever reason I just haven't been on here lately. I'm not exactly sure why--I guess I've been preoccupied dealing with the everyday. I'm trying to get re-connected spiritually, been feeling very detached lately. It has only been recently that I was even aware of how disconnected recluse I had become. I hadn't realized I hadn't posted on here since January-- where has the time gone? Even though I may not have been obviously present, Avalon and my fellow villagers are always in my thoughts-- and now that I have finally gotten the everyday slightly more stable it's time rejoin the larger community. My children and I are in are own home with a working vehicle :) Still on the job hunt-- but see that issue resolving soon.

But my big news is I am unexpectedly expecting my third child due 2/3/14. Of course the first time I'm with someone since my ex after 2 years of separation/ divorce I get pregnant. On the pill too--haha. Must be a reason for this unexpected but very blessed development. Not sure what part the father will play, and I'm ok with that. I have become more confident in my abilities as a mother and as a person thanks to the hardships we have faced and overcome.

WHY would anyone want to fit in? Fitting in means you are conforming to something other then yourself. We are All Facets of the same piece.

What would a diamond be like with the same sides? Not as MAGnanaMOUs as one with facets in All geometric forms- directions.

How do we become our own facet? By being ourself--this does not require being like anything else...BUT YOU

When you realize you are your own creation from within out, there is no desire to be accepted from the outside in...

And if other forms don't like it, they can kiss my facet!! Ahaha :)

Aww shucks thanks Calz and Donk-- been catching up on various threads on the forum and have become acutely aware of how much I have been missing out on.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but a few minutes after I posted here I got a call back for an interview for my dream job! Universe's way of letting my know I'm on the right track?

The position is to work as a legal advocate for a domestic/ sexual assault shelter-- this is the opportunity I've been waiting to be ready to take on. I'm very hopeful that this will lead to getting my foot in the door and beginning my career into human services. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for my interview on Friday ;)

Hey Villagers--I'm still here :horn:

For whatever reason I just haven't been on here lately. I'm not exactly sure why--I guess I've been preoccupied dealing with the everyday. I'm trying to get re-connected spiritually, been feeling very detached lately. It has only been recently that I was even aware of how disconnected recluse I had become. I hadn't realized I hadn't posted on here since January-- where has the time gone? Even though I may not have been obviously present, Avalon and my fellow villagers are always in my thoughts-- and now that I have finally gotten the everyday slightly more stable it's time rejoin the larger community. My children and I are in are own home with a working vehicle :) Still on the job hunt-- but see that issue resolving soon.

But my big news is I am unexpectedly expecting my third child due 2/3/14. Of course the first time I'm with someone since my ex after 2 years of separation/ divorce I get pregnant. On the pill too--haha. Must be a reason for this unexpected but very blessed development. Not sure what part the father will play, and I'm ok with that. I have become more confident in my abilities as a mother and as a person thanks to the hardships we have faced and overcome.

Oh I missed the village banter and unconditional support---and contributing to it!

~Amanda

Ahhhhh! Amanda! How WONDERFUL to see you! Yes, your absence was felt. So glad you made your way back :)

Funny, K got pregnant on the pill, too. I agree, there must be a reason for this little blessing for you. How lovely! Congratulations.

dan33, I really enjoyed that version...also did a great job of jump starting my heart at about 2 minutes in....hahaha

And, of course, you all are right. Who in the hell wants to fit in? That's not what I want, and I have no idea what got into me. Self-doubt maybe, I do battle with that now and again. I remember when I used to refer to myself as the caboose on this-here spirituality train. I figured out, finally, that everything happens for a reason and in its own time. And, truly, I do not want to fit in with the masses, how terrible that would feel. So, I guess, good for me I don't fit in...good for us all that we don't :)

Still, you know what is awesome about this latest two-day struggle? As quiet as the village has been, I heard encouragement and support loud and clear. Awwww, I love you guys...

Much Love,

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

My cat's, Max, favorite activities:

Looking out the window at the birds and squirrels during the day, racoons and skunks at nite - for hours.

Finding the darkest, tightest comfiest places to take a quick nap - on top of old stinky shoes if possible.

Bringing his toy mouse around for a game of fetch - me doing the fetching!

Getting on top of the freezer for his petting and combing. After which he hops on my back for a ride to the wall unit where he has a spot just for him where Val keeps a supply of "treats" for him.

Sneaking in to bed with me at night after I'm asleep. He sleeps right above my head, most times with a paw touching me.

Playing come chase me, which he always wins.

[ulli]

Been gardening lately.
I have a helper, a 23-year-old Nicaraguan boy who is so poor he doesn't even have bus fare in his pockets. He is a bright kid,
except that he doesn't realize the connection between sex and parenthood.
Anyway, he appeared one day, and seems to be looking at us as his saviors.
Yesterday husband took him to a Jesuit centre in town where they offer help to illegal foreigners, and from there he went straight to the Nicaraguan embassy, and is now only one step away from getting status here.

Suddenly transformed, just because he can see a future for himself.
He has already fathered two kids, with different mothers, both are struggling in dire poverty, and he is determined to make a life for himself and support his children.
Life in the tropics.

[donk]

Here & now, I've found clarity, strength in standing in the light of my truth.

My kid's grandparents over-reached, refusing to take any expression of external reality as anything other than attack. That's the third of the top three "cult behaviors" they have exhibited while trying to convince me my 11 year old son was responsible enough (and completely uninfluenced by them or his setting) to decide to "try out his other family for a year", that it was a emotionally healthy thing to put the decision on him, then use him to convince me his growth depended on it.

It is so amazing how you can get sucked into that reality extremely mentally ill (bipolar) people can create, and how hard it is to recognize, even if you've been there before. You find yourself engaged in irrelevant arguments, not understanding why they are making you feel crazy while they play victim of imagined abuse. Nearly everything I learned about self-awareness came from intimate relationships with bipolar reality creators, I have learned that in our dysfunctional society it is just the far end of a scale of acting in your self-interest...where the other side is respecting all other possible realities, and working toward reconciling them.

Unfortunately I will probably have to deal with these people' inability to see anything outside their reality, which my child will be exposed to for 3 more weeks until i can get there without financially devestating more than just my family. I trust him though, and that I know him well enough to be able to undo the damage. I will have help, the couples retreat to the ECETI ranch I had planned will now be a family trip. They [James and the gang...Gio, maybe?] are themselves at a retreat now, but Nate (who I have been making arrangments with) is awesome, and promised a call to help plan how to most effectively get A some good healing.

As soon as I stopped whining to myself "why can't s*** just be easy?", it did. Know yourself. Live in truth. The rest falls into place. All is well....

Argh-- I clicked the wrong reply button and lost my comment, it's been that kind of day--hopefully the severe thunderstorm heading our way will help release some of this annoying tension hanging overhead.

Donk: I know exactly what you are going through and how conflicted you must feel knowing your son is exposed and vulnerable to being ensnared into someone else's delusional version of reality. When my children are around my ex and his family, they too are in the same dilemma. Unfortunately, as much as we want to, as parents there is no way we can protect our children from every unpleasant and difficult experience in life. However, we can model for them how to use them as opportunities to grow from. What allows me to sleep at night as a mom is keeping in mind that it isn't the easy times I feel most proud of in my life, its the times I rose up after being knocked down.

Ulli-- thank you for sharing the story about that young man. It's more proof that even the small gestures of kindness have the potential to create a powerful impact reaching far beyond our intention--

Today is definitely an exercise in keeping the mind moving forward-- instead of giving into pulling my hair out and letting out a mama bear window shattering roar if I hear the summoning for "mom" one more time. Need more quirky kitties please :)

Here and Now...today is my 20th wedding anniversary. Mike is traveling, and the human experience being what it is, I wish we were together today reminiscing and plotting and scheming. The divine in me knows it is only a day, and we will have plenty more days of quiet aloneness in our life together.

Twenty years is a long time, haha. Too many crises to count, each one a new beginning as well. A lot of arguments, a lot of making up, a lot of compromising, and times of standing firm.

Wow.

I need my computer back so I can balance out this catfest with a cute puppy or two. ;)

Today Neptune is square my natal Chiron. Since I'm totally into this idea of moss gardening
I expected there to be some sort of a connection.
So I googled Neptune square Chiron, and this is what came up:
(Quite true, except I'm not abusing any substances)

Neptune square Chiron
There is a dilemma in your makeup having to do with two needs that seem to be in conflict.
One is the need to face and address your deepest wounding,
and reclaim your natural spirit power and wholeness.
This may take you on a journey of initiation into holistic healing methods
and unusual or shamanic experiences.
The other need is to avoid or escape the dark side of life and focus on more ethereal realities.

The sensitivity of Neptune is very uncomfortable with the harshness of this world,
and wants to stay focused on the spiritual and idealistic aspects of experience.
Though this path is often artistic, gentle and compassionate,
it tends to result in feeling helpless and/or victimized, which is likely the crux of your wounding.

Therefore, continued avoidance could lead to substance abuse or other destructive forms of escapism.
You may be faced with some very difficult choices until you realize that the two are not mutually exclusive;
they are both about spiritual opening and expansion.

Tuning in to Neptune sensitivity can be a great asset on the journey of initiation and healing,
and Chiron will guide you into understanding that can heal, empower and strengthen you.

More Neptune transits are explained here: http://members.wizzards.net/~magyan/Neptune_Aspects.html

I found this interesting synchronicity today. I just read that Janet Napolitano is stepping down to become the University of California president. Kudos for her, that's a fantastic job:

Napolitano Stepping Down as Homeland Security Chief
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/13/us/politics/napolitano-stepping-down.html?emc=edit_na_20130712&_r=0

"Janet Napolitano, who has served as President Obama’s secretary of homeland security since the beginning of his administration, is stepping down to become president of the University of California university system, administration officials said Friday."

Yesterday I read John Rappaport's article on Ed Snowden, and remembered this line in the article:

Matrix: Who is Edward Snowden?

http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2013/07/08/matrix-who-is-edward-snowden/

"To keep those relationships on track, you only need to hide your peccadillos from embarrassing exposure. The hooker in DC, the bank account in Panama, the influence you used to move a sizable donation to a university where you intend to teach when you retire."

By way of a disclaimer, I am in no way suggesting that this is the case. That would be terribly unfounded. I am just pointing out a synchronicity that I came across while reading various media.

Yea, that is a great word, Dan, peccadillos. What do you get when you cross an armadillo with a woodpecker? A Peckerdillo. Ha! That quote you posted sounds kind of like St. Augustine: "Da mihi castitatem et continentiam sed noli modo/Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."

There is no such thing as a homeless Villager.
As a matter of fact, there are some empty cottages right now,
go and look, then pick and choose.
And even though we have some new faces...hello bel, and welcome,
some of the earlier crowd have moved overseas.

So what's going on with you? Pluto squaring your Libra cluster and Uranus opposing it?
And now another square from sun, Mars, etc in Cancer?
I can see your dilemma there. Villagers can come to the rescue.

while weeding and transplanting and sowing.
The weather is pretty perfect at the moment...sunny mornings, and rain in the afternoons.
So the soil never needs additional watering.

The only bad news is that what we thought was a spring in the slope where we once had a waterfall, turned out to be a broken mains higher up on the mountain.
The cave which was carved out by years of rain water pouring down the slope is now dry enough to turn into a cozy beer corner.

The above was taken yesterday. My young helper is planting.


This one shows the "cave" (taken a few minutes ago)

Calz, there is no other like you around here, my friend. And your work on the ranch thread, heck, I don't go there often but even I appreciate the work you do there. Hang in there, bro. Maybe what happened, of which I am not really aware, was just a pecadillo?

Our little cat, Max, has a very sore paw. I don't know how he managed to injure himself like that, or how he managed to hide it from us for what seems like weeks. Open, festering sore. Caught him licking at it in secret this morning. Gotta find a vet...

The last two bad kitty wounds I have had at my house were treated quite successfully with cold pressed castor oil, applying to the wounds directly.

Could it be that Max had a fight with another cat and a bit of claw got lodged in there and infected it?

[Ernie Nemeth]

Hi, we're back from the vets, $300 poorer.

Wish I had seen your response earlier, Reilly. I could probably have managed to clean and dress it myself but he has a fever and it is badly infected. Vet, made him all better. It's bandaged and his cone is on. Plus we got antibiotics to administer. Ten days and he should be better.

As to what happened - I'm not sure. I hate to think it could have been one of my projects all scattered about in my office, here. But I clean up every day and sweep and vacuum. He does like to hide in the closet where my projects are in big plastic bins. Maybe he caught his paw on a sharp piece of steel or something. I hate to think it was my carelessness that might have caused him his injury. From now on my closet door gets closed...

P.S. Our cat is an indoor cat, so its not from an encounter with another feline.

cat claws rarely infect, compared to their bite....

That quote you posted sounds kind of like St. Augustine: "Da mihi castitatem et continentiam sed noli modo/Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."

That quote so annoys me. There he is, being a complete pig and hasn't a frigging clue. I hope for every woman he used, he gets an incarnation of chastity. And he *thinks* his focus is on G*d, no, it is on women. And not in a good way either.

http://make-everything-ok.com/

Man, I haven't read so much on this forum in the past year as I have in the past week. My head is swimming with ETs, haha. There sure are a lot of people who have had first hand encounters with other beings they call aliens. I wonder...what these Angels would consider themselves...I doubt they would consider themselves aliens. I've decided I really don't like that word, I guess. I know what people mean when they use it, they mean from other planets or other dimensions or some such. And I can't find any kind of Truth inside me that would suggest all humans can be lumped into any particular category. I would guess it is possible that there are new souls here, I don't know that's not possible. All I can honestly come up with is that no matter the different reasons for being here, and the different stop-off points before we got here, and different soul experiences to this point, we simply are here at the same time. (Time being what it is, and isn't.) I can't find any Truth inside myself that tells me we are all here for the same reason either. My conclusion can only be that this planet has a diverse population...and that we probably represent other groups. I would guess, just my own version of common sense (or lack thereof) judging by the duality of human beings, that there would be (possibly) a duality within who we represent. Maybe not within the groups but between the groups?

No wonder this is a tough gig. No wonder the only way to get to any Truth is to look within. Although, at this point, I cannot say that has gotten me very far. Yet.

Eek. I'll stop while I'm behind.

Much Love,

Calz--Hoping tomorrow starts the week as an improvement to the last one. The state of limbo, whether it's physical or mental is just damned uncomfortable--been there too often myself.

Ernie--Happy to hear your kitty is on the mend. Reading your kitty accounts really makes miss me having one of those purring moody furballs myself-- someday I'll have another one, until then I pacify myself with the stories of feline-antics told by my fellow villagers.

Well my interview went really well-- I'll know on Monday if I move on to the 2nd interview. I think I may have a good chance-- but my biggest disadvantage is the commute, which may deter them from hiring me over other candidates.

Time to keep reading through some of the thicker threads here in PA-- I'm still quite behind...

I have that picture in my stash, Calz, but always felt too shy to post it here,

Anyway, whatever it is that is troubling you should have been released with that joke.

[donk]

Truth inside me that would suggest all humans can be lumped into any particular category.

Sure we can...to anyone not from earth--we are aliens...or whatever the equivalent is in their language. As limiting as labels can be...emotional attachment to them is what gives them power. They are useful in discussions, when the idea behind them are shared. If the essence of the word/label is not shared with those conversing, qualifications are needed.

It could be really simple, if not for the whole emotional attachment thing

[1inMany]

I don't know donk. I have a hunch that many of the beings referred to as aliens would refer to many of us family, haha. Not saying all of them, or all of "us"...

the point is WE are the gods .. we made all the rules ... and we made all the universes too ... then we were stupid enough to build a system that can trap us in our own creation bound by all the games and rules we created to have this incredible game we made that is soooooooooo complicated ... it is taking reruns after reruns of past lifetimes to untangle everyone and get us all back to some kind of an agreement to let go of this universe we created and make a new one

jim

[1inMany]

I just want to double check my understanding of that post, jiminii. So, you are saying that as gods, we are all powerful and created this universe...but stupid to fall into traps...but that we shall be gods when we walk away from the mess when we were stupid, and as gods we will create more universes? Is that right?

Much love,

[jiminii]

yes i think you got it

basically when we came out of the static we are infinitely powerful children ,,.. there is NOTHING ... NO EMOTION ... like happy sad fear anger ... none of that is created yet ...
we first had to create space .. and then how to make it so things would not disappear .. so we needed a space time continuum that ran in automatic ... everyone in this universe is creating all of it ... whether they are aware of it or not ...
everything else had to be created ... even love hate .. all the emotions ... every consideration is JUST a consideration until SOMEONE else can realize it and agree to it ... that is .. to say .. if we create blue ... we have to get others to be able to see this blue .. and then we can give it a name ...

so now the game is between those that had powers against those who want all the property that was created by those that had the powers to create it ... they want to get rid of those that have power so they can control everyone with the ownership of the property ... you see if those that have power can create one planet after another .. then those that don't have power can not make the property scarce so they can raise the price on it and suppress everyone by owning it and making it expensive for others to have ...

so they would rather kill those that have power so they can not make any more real estate so those with no power can control everyone by owning the real estate ...

so they get those that have power to fight others with power ... and get them to create weapons against the big beings ... (created by the big beings because only they would know how to pull down another big being) ... so the big beings create weapons to take down another big being .. never thinking he could be taken down too .... until more and more are trapped on these prison planets ... you see they can't kill a spirit .. they can only trap him and make him lose his memory by scrambling it with false memories ..

so yes I would say we were stupid enough to create the weapons needed to take down others like us ... and NEVER ..FIND A TECHNOLOGY TO UNTRAP A BIG BEING ... not very intelligent ...

but now that we are all trapped ... when we are free again ... we will not be so stupid to have only a technology that traps ... and not create a technology that untraps ...
all that technology is in the future being sent back to this time ... to help us get our abilities and memories back

I know that at one level of my being I can understand what you are saying here, Jim.
We just use different words to express this truth.
What I do mainly is cast my imagination to a state of timelessness,
which means my being enters the state of my earliest origins and also my ultimate destiny,
which are somehow merged.
The Here and Now has all the other times and places in it...if only we could see that...

I don't see that much difference between someone having faith in an almighty God, or Goddess,
or faith in their own innate powers. As well as the potential in other people.
Our uniqueness is vital, and has to be embraced before we can see the wholeness factor.
Just musing.

I could be wrong. God created us, the good angels, lucifer, and all the angels who followed lucifer. God is not willing to give up anyone, eventually we will all return to God, to being a part of God. in the meantime, we struggle to return from where we came.

God (the one you read about in some book ) was created by the Reptilians to distort our thinking so they can control us with it ... If we believe only this GOD has power we can never get up enough power ourselves to free us from the force fields that trap us to this planet ... Siddhartha Gautama 2500 years ago (BUDDHA) .. managed to free himself from this prison ..(which is pretty amazing since these prisons have been designed over billions of years and Spirits just DON'T ESCAPE a PRISON PLANET) ... so how did he do it ???? he did it by somehow getting his spirit out of the physical body and was able to see who he really was .. but that was only part of it ... Metteyya .. that is the spirit of Buddha ... has other bodies OFF this planet ... and were also able to guide him ...

one way Scientology uses today to keep people from having their memories scrambled and wiped out between lifetimes is a very simple process ... when you die ... just stay in communication with your friends ... (who have the ability to operate freely out of the body) .. and you will be able to come back into a body here without going through an implant station ...

so why would you want to come back to this planet ...???? ... because it is safer here than up there in the Galaxy and you won't make it for very long up there by yourself ...

so it is better to get more able beings who can operate out of their bodies and know how to NOT get stuck in that game again ,., and go up as a group ... even with all the cabal doing their stuff ... it is still safer here to keep your spiritual reality ... but up there ... if you demonstrated any of your powers ... they would probably find a way to trap you and send you back here anyway ...

it is this short time ... and we did win this game in the future ... this time is being repeated .. to salvage more ... and with a few like bill and the people he knows .. I think we will make it through .... and the cabal ... they will collapse with their own economies and then where will they go ???? their money will be worthless ,.. no one will help them ...

the combined spiritual power is winning on this planet even though it looks the other way ... OH YEA .. they scream and holler and give a great show ... but even the people that followed them don't see a future with them either ...

we just have to hold the place a little longer ... and we will be able to rejoin the confederation of planets ... and clean this mess up ,.,

it has to have pieces break off from it ... that doesn't know everything .... because knowing everything would vanish everything in the physical universe back to the static

[ulli]

For some people God equals church, but most Avalonians who have mentioned God around here
have had direct encounters...
IOW, they entered states of being that resemble the cleared state.
When in that state it is easy to see how the entrapment happens...

If I were to sit in a circle with Caholics reciting the rosary, repeating over and over that we are all sinners...
I can see myself quickly reentering the scarcity paradigm.

All depends on interpretation...whether it comes from the fragmented mind, or the unified heart.
The fragment will always be needy, while the unified whole will always be still and content, and radiant.
So we simply choose our state of being.

The mind is ruled by Mercury, and Mercury is not only a planet but also a metal which fragments easily.
Just as language and words represent part or fragments of the whole...

Yet the meaning behind words represent a feeling which is about connections, bridge-building, the road to wholeness.
Once that meaning is grasped then all issues dissolve.

In the Wingmakers this is described as we are the fingertips of Source...have to google now to find the exact quote.

[ulli]

For some reason the search engine produced no results.
Found this quote though...not bad either....

This is the principle that First Source is present in all realities through all manifestations of energy. IT is interwoven in all things like a mosaic whose pieces adhere to the same wall, and are thus, unified. However, it is not the picture that unifies the mosaic, but the wall upon which its pieces adhere. Similarly, First Source paints a picture so diverse and apparently unrelated that there appears to be no unification. Yet it is not the outward manifestations that unify, it is the inward center of energy upon which the pieces of diversity are layered that unifies all manifestations.

[ulli]

And another quote...


In most cultures where the term "god" or "goddess" is used to define this omnipotent power, it often represents an entity that has evolved beyond the range of human comprehension and who manifests magical powers like manipulating the natural elements through thought or manifesting as non-corporeal Light Beings.


These manifestations are described and depicted in virtually all cultures of the human race through its religious texts and mythology.
While these may be entities that are highly evolved in their abilities and knowledge, they should not be confused with First Source.

Since we are talking of questions and answers ...
What questions does this article raise?
(Assuming that the answer will be provided together with the question.)

I just want to bring stuff to Jiminii's attention here...
We can then be creative together.



"Monsanto contacts are known to the notorious former secret service agent Joseph Cofer Black, who helped formulate the law of the jungle in the fight against terrorists and other enemies. He is a specialist on dirty work, a total hardliner. He worked for the CIA for almost three decades, among other things as the head of anti-terroism. He later became vice president of the private security company Blackwater, which sent tens of thousands of soldiers to Iraq and Afghanistan under US government orders."

"Thanks to Snowden and Wikileaks, the world has a new idea of how these friends and partners operate where power and money are concerned. The whistle-blowing platform published embassy dispatches two years ago, which also included details about Monsanto and genetic engineering."

"For example, in 2007, the former US ambassador in Paris, Craig Stapleton, suggested the US government should create a penalties list for EU states which wanted to forbid the cultivation of genetically engineered plants from American companies. The wording of the secret dispatch: "Country team Paris recommends that we calibrate a target retaliation list that causes some pain across the EU." Pain, retaliation: not exactly the language of diplomacy."

I used to say.... The man who knows nothing and the man who knows everything are in the same position....neither has any questions....

When Socrates says ‘I know that I know nothing’ he is not making a wryly self-contradictory statement; he is saying he does not know nearly enough.


The ‘need to know’ has been turned completely upside down to serve the perverse ends of secrecy. There is so much that we all need to know. It is only when creative people get the info they need that things can happen, hence all the dumbing down.

Edit: just come across this: A.N. Whitehead on epistemology: ‘No question can be clarified by the fact of introducing a mind that knows.’

In most cultures where the term "god" or "goddess" is used to define this omnipotent power, it often represents an entity that has evolved beyond the range of human comprehension and who manifests magical powers like manipulating the natural elements through thought or manifesting as non-corporeal Light Beings.


These manifestations are described and depicted in virtually all cultures of the human race through its religious texts and mythology.
While these may be entities that are highly evolved in their abilities and knowledge, they should not be confused with First Source.

but the thing is the implants they have created are so hideous .. so insane ... like every extreme horrible thing anyone can look at plus all the pain anyone has gotten for the last trillions of years and have that extended out 20 times longer than it is .. (just repeats of your own pain and twisted more and more for eons more) ... that they have pretty much tried to turn us into a psycho's psycho .... to the nth degree ... and we still manage to keep some face and positivity with this incredible corrupted mind that has been corrupted ... why do you think they would send millions from the future .. that do not have this mind that can be flooded with endless garbage ???? why would they do that ... the biggest most power spirits you can imagine ..... the reason is this .... the negativity of this sector of the universe (read the dumping of billions of beings in volcanoes and exploding them with atomic bombs) .... the negativity of this universe is biting into other universes too ... we can't just go back and wipe it all out .. that is not a solution ... you can read some of billy meiers stuff ... not that I can verify any of it ... but what I did get from it is ... there are other universes like this next to this one .... and this girl who come to teach billy is from the neighboring universe .... (someone gave me this from this website a few weeks ago .. didn't really know billy meiers story before that) ... so if they are also making missions from the neighboring universe ... then we must be effecting it too ...

so we got a lot of entities from future and neighboring universes ... working on this problem ... and I don't think they would have even started this project if they didn't KNOW it NEEDED to be FIXED .. and they are trying to stop it from infecting other universes too .... I don't think they intend to let it fail ... with that in mind ... everyone should be looking at that and not all the S*** the cabal and all their media puts out to keep us down .... we should be looking at the positive side ... and validating that ... not a bunch of insane people ... who are heading for death themselves by their very actions and wants to take everyone else with them ...

so I don't let this S**** hit me ... I bounce it off like any other thing that tries to disrupt my universe including stopping thoughts that can hurt me ... ..handling all the negative thoughts ... does just that ... stops if from entering your universe ... so the less effect the elite can create ... the less his power is .. so I don't say anything on this website or anywhere else to contribute anything to them ... I look at them the same way I do mosquitoes ... a bunch of noisy pests ... and for the rest ... ???

I just stay on track and put out only those thoughts that will change this game ...

Jim, I wasn't fear mongering here...just curious what could be done to make their agenda go pfffttt......

I mean like we need to know the data ... so we can correct it ... but we can do that so people can come up with postulates that will effectively handle it ... at the same time .. we shouldn't be lending them any power like saying ... "it looks like they got us ... or this looks too impossible to handle" we are beings with infinite potential .. I look at what is there and then I look for a way to handle ... like this story about zimmerman will create a martial law thing ... it won't if we pull all the charge out if it ... and toss it in mid outer space ... I did this in Thailand and stopped the Vietnamese from attacking the border of thailand ... I just look at what is ... and figure out how to derail it as a being. ..

like now we got egypt back ... but to keep it back we have to replace bad hats with good hats ... so I put my attention on that happening ... the spirit KNOWS ... so it can find the good hats and replace the black hats with them ... I don't accept anything as impossible ...

that is how they programmed the Naval Tactical Data Systems to be able to come up with any solution ... so I said ... "what if the missile is 100 feet from hitting the ship ...
the teacher said, "throw rocks" ... well throw rocks wouldn't handle it would it ... but the space of a spirit is so strong metal can not enter it .. those GI's who never die don't believe they will die have such a strong space around them that bullets and metal can not enter it ...

these people who total their cars and come out with a few scratches didn't believe they would die either and the metal just raps around them ...

see what I mean .... any thing is possible and any solution can happen to solve something

Faith and confidence are similar, aren't they?
All the ambition I had in my youth was to prove my hypercritical childhood years and family influences wrong.
Only after those voices shut up could I let go of that insecure ambitious drive.
And it was after that when I first experienced real power.
Ambition may work as a starter motor, but once a connection to soul reality
is created there is a cornucopia, a never ending abundance,
and supply, and a melodic tune humming at all times.
And for years it has been my wish that everyone on earth gets to tap into that source.
So, yeah, it's harder for people who are still being traumatized by the cabal's antics...

When the principle "as above, so below," is understood, which, like a hologram has the tiniest part identical to the whole,
then by simply being the God of one's domain one can rebalance the whole universe.

[skippy]

I used to say.... The man who knows nothing and the man who knows everything are in the same position...

If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. (I Corinthians iii, 18-19)

I don't know about that Jim, at least from personal experience anyway. There have been 5 instances where it was obvious I was witnessing my final fleeting seconds of this life, 2 of those were car wrecks I had no right walking away from. Each time there was an all peaceful acceptance that this was how it was going to end, and each time I waited for the lights to go out.

Me thinks there's a bit more to that than just not believing death is going to happen. Exactly what that is I don't know, but I have some ideas.

I dig you Donk. There's so much magic in the everyday mundane, banal existence which in reality is the most surreal, amazing, mind blowing reality. Lightning bugs. The greatest phosphorescence outside the ocean. I can remember being a small child and catching lightning bugs, and then being on the beach at night and seeing the phosphorescence glimmer on the shore with each succeeding wave and making a connection between the two and wondering if the phenomena were related. I guess biochemically they are in some way.

On Sunday evening we went down to the beach for a coffee, where I was chatted up for two minutes by a very small girl with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes (I never got to see her mouth much, she was so small behind the railing). She called me Mr Mustard, which was pretty smart given that my jaundice had cleared up by then. It wasn't the only sunshine I got that day, but Miss Ketchup certainly did me a power of good :)

Found this on one of the natural medicine sites...and believe it to be true.


How to fight anemia?
Diet: If you are looking to get rid of anemia and revive your vigor and energy, you must eliminate all refined foods such as white bread, polished rice, sugar and desserts from your diet as they rob the body of iron. Rich sources of iron such as wheat, wheat grain, honey, beans, cereals, brown rice, green leafy vegetables, cabbage, carrots, celery, beets, tomatoes, spinach, apples, berries, plum, cherries, grapes, figs, resins, dates and peaches must be included in the diet. High quality protein comprising of cottage cheese, eggs, fish and milk should also be consumed in liberal quantities.
Spinach is by far the best natural remedy when it comes to getting rid of anemia. It helps increase the red blood cells and should be taken liberally by the anemic individual. It is recommended to drink the fresh juice of carrots and spinach on a daily basis to combat anemia.

[Flash]

Today's spinach are not yesterday's ones Ulli. There is almost nothing left in terms of iron in the spinach you find in store. Doing what you say to improve anemia has to be done with vegetables that are biologically grown, otherwise the recuperation is much too long.

Calz, I am truly sorry for your situation at the present time. No doubt there will be better days. Where are you smurfing in USA nowadays (state?)? Let us know how thing are turning ok?

I was very anemic a couple of weeks ago, but had no iron deficiency :confused: It seems to have sorted itself out even though my spinach crop was somewhat... anemic. There are several types (causes) of anemia I think.

Thank you Flash. :thank_you2:

Much better now on several issues ... one of which prompted the post.

Perhaps I should hire ulli as my astrologer :)

Hope all is well with you and yours as well.

Deep from within comes the sound
Welling up from the ground
So far has it come
That it rises to the sun
The sound wont stop
The sounds wont waiver
It barrels out and spreads apart
Coming from the biggest heart
The sounds rounds deep
and is so loud
that it will pull apart every cloud
Deep from within comes the sound
I know they hear it very loud

I love this synchronicity. 3's, 6's & 9's are always popping up in my life. Constantly. Yesterday I hit 666 posts. Today I checked my threads to see if there were any new posts. It's not hard for me, I've only started four threads. Anyway, on the latest one I started, I had 9 replies and 666 views. Ha! I took a screen shot. Now, if I can just keep anyone from ever visiting that thread or posting there again. Here's a screen shot:

DREeKO5VAAI


the calamities for June 1st were on all the viral web sites and forums. My guess it that we did change the reality by not wanting it to happen, just remaining aware and happy or something like this. I bet it is the same for most happenings, including the political ones. Or.... we have been somehow protected.

I think the writing is on the wall, and this last post cinches it....

I just received a call from my son in Barbados informing me that my best friend,
fashion designer Simon Foster, died today of a heart attack.
I first met him in 1974, hours after arriving in the island.
My life changed totally as a result.
I can't imagine Barbados without Simon....he was an institution.
I'm so upset...words fail me......
In case some of you can find him up there...lost and confused...
please help him find his way.

Sorry for your loss ulli

Yest truly sorry Ulli. You had spoke about him before, I remember you showing us a picture of him I think. Truly sorry, I will think of you both.
