I'm sorry to hear too Ulli. It made me think of one of my favorite poems. I know this doesn't serve as consolation, but I post with love and consideration, Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar"

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home!

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourn of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

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.

Oh, Ulli... to lose a best friend... I honestly have not experienced such a loss as that, and don't really know what you're feeling (though I suspect it's disbelief and shock mixed with other emotions right now.)

I don't know anything about fashion, so had to Ixqick him, and found this innovative, creative, and evocative image: http://www.simonfostersourcing.com/sites/default/files/photos/wild_craft002.jpg

So sorry for your loss...

Thanks Dennis and everyone.
The news is only beginning to sink in.
The four stages of death- shock, denial, anger and acceptance.
Im just starting over here....
Shock shock shock....

The link you gave above is not the same Simon, btw.

He is here, top right.

Had a dream last night...a huge wave swallowed him. I asked if he'd gotten wet, and he said, looking down at his drenched clothes...well, you do you think?" Slightly sarcastic, witty as always.
I took this picture of him, in his shop, the evening sun had caught the shadow of his mannequin.

Much of what Courtney Brown has to say is acceptable to me. However, his valid point that many remote viewers tend to focus on worst-case scenarios neatly glosses over the fact that this puts them on a par with tabloid journalists and fear-mongering alternative media bloggers... I’d have liked him to say more about how he thinks, having come so close to his disaster scenario, we collectively snuffed it out. I would suggest that what is happening is that these so-called futures are actually past events that are still coming back to haunt us – the notion of catastrophobia (Barbara Hand Clow?). Exploring a timeless zone can be disorientating, I expect.

Also, I agree that his presentation of the material is not a copout; what is somewhat a copout is his analysis of timelines as separate, metaphorically speaking, TV channels – as if we just channel-hopped from a disaster movie to something nicer. This, by the way, is an appropriate metaphor for what he is doing: the word ‘television’ actually means ‘remote viewing’.

The trouble is that there are no completely separate channels any more (if there ever were) – the frequencies are interfering with each other to our increasing distraction. It is no longer an option to change channels, as we are getting the interference anyway. That is why I would say avoiding this particular catastrophe did not involve sweeping it under the carpet in this way onto another timeline. I would not want to lead a peaceful life in the here and now if it were by passing on such a state of affairs to an alternative reality. We want to clean up all the timelines together.

If you think of the problem in terms of the prison planet concept or the den of thieves galaxy or universe that everyone else has come from far and wide to deal with, it is because the situation here is an issue that has been swept under the carpet for so long and is now causing such universal interference that it has to be dealt with once and for all. The whole notion of timelines is likely a part of the problem, a flaking off of successive subrealities, rather like white light flakes off into the colour spectrum as it is distorted through a prism.

Hence, while C. Brown sees quasi-infinite timelines as the way this universe works, I would see them as one of the ways in which it is dysfunctional. Ulli’s remark on the value of behaving with integrity is relevant here: integrity means being the same person yesterday, today, tomorrow and always. This stillness amounts to opening up no new timelines and, going beyond that, closing undesired ones down.

One last point. I read the other day a remark compatible with quasi-infinite timelines, to the effect that we have all done everything, been the best and been the worst. This for me is a modern version of original sin and it is deliberately confusing in people’s minds two very different levels, an ultimate one at which there is no such thing as evil (everything is ultimately good), and the one we are operating at, namely where there are perpetrators doing things that cannot be condoned, and the rest who are responsible in the sense either of allowing this to go on or of doing something to stop it.



Perpetrators are separators, they see separation where we see none. When they reach the perfection of that separation which does not exist, they cease to exist for us.

I'd love it if you would share it right now.
Healing is ongoing...especially when stories are being shared.

Thousands of people knew him and loved him in Barbados. All are in shock as he was very healthy, youthful, fit.
I'm getting Skype calls here in Costa Rica.
He was walking home from his shop, and dropped dead on the road. One friend passed there in her car, and seeing the police surrounding a white person lying by the side of the road she thought a tourist had been struck by a car, not realizing that it was Simon. So she drove on.

Weird coincidence: ...two of the houses I lived in during my ten years in Barbados later became Simon's home.
Not because he took over after I moved out, those homes had another tenant first, and then, when he had to move each time all that would be available at that moment was my former residence. So whenever I visited Simon later on it was like coming home.
This was very likely a case of belonging to the same soul group...
something Michael Newton was talking about in his interview.

Okay Villagers ... gather around the campfire ...


Best friend of my life I didn't meet until college ... we got paired together in a dorm (go figure).

He met the "love of his life" during that time period and later got married.


Perhaps about 3 years ago or so his wife was diagnosed with cancer (several places and normally quite hard to recover from).

Well she fought the "good fight". Not quite as versed in the "ways of the world" as most villagers are but smart, savy and tough as nails.

We exchanged information on natural healing methods to address her situation. I even lent them the Gregg Braden vid with the 3 minute scene of a Chinese woman showing (via ultrasound I believe) her tumor being shrunken and dissolved by 3 Chinese practitioners. Bottom line of that was the patient must share the belief that it was, in fact, possible to heal yourself of cancer etc.


Anyway ... she played both sides of the fence. Did chemo and followed western medical advice while doing what she could on her own.

Lived much longer than the western doctors gave her hope for but eventually succumbed.


Anyway ... point of the story is that my best friend (the husband) died within a couple weeks (mid 50s) in an automobile accident.


Not a suicide (I am quite certain ... they had one teenage daughter still living with them). He was driving home from an AA meeting and some there noticed he was a little "off" but obviously didn't stop him.


He had a history of occasional seizures and driving (alone) went under and drove off a steep hill to his death.


Why I share the story is that is yet another of so very many stories we hear about "twin souls" ... "soulmates" or whatever when the 2nd almost immediately follows the first.


That is how I perceived it and it really gave me comfort in that everything was ***OKAY*** and that this was part of their life paths.


... and dats my story villagers :)

OK, campfire time, I will share mine and I hope it will help you Ulli,

My father died of lung cancer when I was 32. At the time, I knew about Edgar Cayce, but it is about all. So I had gotten his books to help my dad, but my dad generation did not want much to do with it.

Anyhow, he died, while I was with him in hospital. And I knew, well in advance, that he would die with me (we were staying with him on shifts and the shifts would not stopped being shuffled around, me wondering how I would end up being there).

When he was going, I gave him the permission to go, so that he would stop resisting. The cancer had taken over his brain and he was in constant pain before dying, therefore on heavy morphine.

About 2 months later, I had a dream. I saw him in his early sixties car that he loved, and we travel a bit together in his car, in the desert because he wanted to show me some stuff there related to science, of the soul I think.

Then, another month later, he came back asking me how he died, telling me that he had not realized he had died being too drugged at the time. I revised power point like by power point slide his death. Then he asked me if he had scared me (He was always scared of scaring us when we were children). To which I answered no.

Then about 4 months afterwards, I saw him sitting on a chair, his arms on the arm rest, looking at me, not speaking. I was soooooo glad to see him, it felt like I would have relentlessly wagged my tail if I would have been a dog. Very high emotional excitement.

Then, all of a sudden, it was as if every cell of my being, every atom, had been taken and put in a bath of love. That was incredible! It did change my perspective on life.

The lesson I gained, years later, when the physical image of the loved ones starts to fade away in one's mind, is that the the feeling of love that was shared never dies. Love never dies. Love is the cement of life and the link of souls.

Now you understand my sometimes position as a "love and light" being, deemed by some as being light headed. LOL

He was a workaholic, and loved nothing more than going into Bridgetown and dig around the junkiest shops for cool fabrics.
Always came up with something that inspired him to rush back to work. Sending loving thoughts now to Joyce, his machinist.

It just finished raining, rained for about twenty minutes. Everything is fresh and clean, it smells like dirt and worms...heavenly. The birds are chirping, the treefrogs or locusts, or something, making beautifully calming music. The horses next door are grazing as the grass glistens. Once in a while a truck full of hay drives down the road. Oh, there's a lazy moo. It has cooled down, can't be more than 80 degrees. The sun is preparing to set, falling lower in the sky just behind the tree tops. Oh, and three hummingbirds are deciding who gets first shot at the feeder...

It's a good life and I am grateful for it.

Much Love,

I wonder what humans would have to do to accomplish sound from our body tht effects the material?---hummm but our bodies are made of basically the dirt in the ground-so perhaps we wouldn't get very far doing tht we may change our whole body!!! lol

Wouldn't tht b something if it was tht simple--- hidden is the knowledge of how to do it perhaps? How to get the human body to become a vessel for sound....wow supposedly god said it and it was done--humm creation from frequency and harmonics...

Interestingly enough I just moseyed on into the "keys of enoch thread" which is discussing light/frequency changes tht could effect our biology to heal itself verses degeneration (lot more to it) but nice synchronicity :)

The more people participate, the better this gets (~ 50 people at once, in a circle, is the most i have experienced) - it's great.
They called it the "Bell Om" - with everybody starting on their own 'note', it's amazing to witness [and partake in] the 'harmonizing process'.
Beyond description; one has to be part of it to know. Very recommendable.

Btw: Recording it with stereo mic setup [and later listening to the results] doesn't work; it's 'flat'.
Maybe a dummy head (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kunstkopf) recording would come closer...

I have Anita here, and was just this moment talking about flying dreams.
She has never had one, so I told her what it was like, that I had those dreams since early childhood,
to simply make a thought and rise up to whatever height is desired, and even lift up people who can't fly yet.
So you must have picked up on that.
Well done, Cal.

What is it with all the feathers? Lately I keep seeing feathers on the ground, even when I walk downtown. Everywhere. Never had that before. Is it a message? Or am I the Tom Jones of avians? Here are the ones that I picked up and took with me.

Reading my Reiki book. Its the Usui tradition, whatever that is. I have used this method for many years on myself mostly but others as well. Strange little energy stuff going on since I started the read. My ankle stopped hurting, which these days it rarely does. But the most important is my shoulder (that I do not like talking about for fear of making it permanent). Overnite it just stopped hurting. My shoulder was so bad that the range of motion was restricted to half of normal. Some spots would numb my whole arm down to my elbow and my arm would just drop to my side, useless. That was starting to scare me (months of this now). Then the other day the pain was mostly gone, range of motion back up to 80%.

I've used the "find the pain and push as hard as possible" technique for many years, removing headaches and sore muscles, even healing injuries. My massages are exquisite, I'm told. I know, I massage myself often using various hands on methods and some yoga. Works wonders. But my ankle (just mush inside there really, too much basketball on bad Pisces feet) and shoulder were not responding to my usual treatments. Reiki seems quite harmless to me. Unless you go for training, I suppose. I do not think I will. Already pretty much know this method in my own way.

Some will kill you.

I need some love, if its not too much to ask...specifically: resolution.

I'm so tired of dealing with others' mental illness which allows them to use my family against my family, it's sick, and needs to end.

Sending you love, Donk. Try to trust in a higher power...
giving one's children away can also mean putting them in the hands of the almighty,
and trusting that all will be well.

Be patient, step back from it all, and watch the unfoldment take place.
If you have done your best, and there is nothing further, then perhaps it's best to let go, and let God.

RAPID CHANGES?!!?!!?!!

Hey! there, I miss you all. My life is still changing at white water rapid rates. I've had internet and phone issues. I just moved for the 10th time in 2 years. Now I'm in a room in a house on land with horses and a mule...and one dog.

It's hard to describe the depth and scope of all of the inner and outer changes in my life. These sure are transformational times, aren't they?

I've been called to counsel people on the fly. One of my new friends is having a hard time with his mother dying recently. He is quite a special person, and his dad is very appreciative of me talking to him. He said it really helps a lot. It seems my way of survival while being homeless and having such hard times is helping others.

But I've been helped a lot, too. ;-) Besides all of the angels here, I've had angels show up to help me with critical needs and have become very good friends. The guy that gave me a place to stay when my RV was getting fixed needed my help with moving. I was so thankful to be able to give back.

I was gifted with a women's conference last Friday. I made some great contacts to further my work and sell my books. It's so close I can taste it, but I'm seriously hanging by a thread most of the time. I'm reaching into the future with appointments with business counseling professionals and a few extra people who believe in me and my work.

Loving and missing you all while I navigate some challenges. May you all be blessed in miraculous ways. (YES! it IS so!)

Yesterday my laptop computer cords blew up. I'm at the library right now with limited time.
Hopefully, I will soon have the Internet at my new abode.
I'd LOVE to really catch up.

Until then, hearts full of love....
Be well and happy!
Love,
Michelle Marie

Ok, news from Miss'ippi:

http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130718/NEWS01/130718016/Satanists-Miss-gravesite-ritual-turns-Westboro-Baptist-founder-s-mom-gay


Westboro Baptist Church has made a name for itself since the early 1990s with bombastic rhetoric against the gay community, controversial protests of funerals, and more recently, an appearance at Ole Miss for the idolization of The Blind Side's Michael Oher.

The New York-based Satanic Temple, an organization with a goal to support "freedom and the pursuit of happiness for all people," took its own stance against the Westboro Baptist Church this weekend by coming to Mississippi.

The temple performed a "Pink Mass" ceremony Sunday at the Meridian grave of WBC's founder Fred Phelps Jr.'s mother Catherine Johnston to turn her "gay forever."

....

Greaves told Vice that Phelps and the WBC have no choice but to make his own mother's grave the site of one of their protests.

I am progressively unwilling to discuss on the net, time, timelines, Philip K Dick. Certain topics gain too much attention from the loyal opposition.

I hear you Reilly, but I'm not sure I understand: are they laughing at us or picking our brains? Also, given that the loyal opposition is not monolithic but has its own embedded opposition, the spread of any information may actually be a good idea?

I think we should just ignore the opposition. I like the way Tolkien handles this issue. For example, the Gollum is repeatedly allowed to live and even help, until ultimately he is the vital instrument not only of his own downfall but also that of his entire camp, by accidentally destroying the key ring (pun intended :)) as no one else could. Some problems just sort themselves out, often by collapsing under their own weight. I myself have just recovered from a nasty liver condition on zero medication and zero guru's healthy dietary advice, just eating whatever would go down. It just came, I don't know why, and it just went, I don't know how.

Not certain which side of the timeline thing I'm on, not knowing the debate.
I was made aware quite some time ago that creation is ongoing. That means you get a transitioning state - which is a paradox. If it is a paradox then anything and/or everything is possible - or not. See how quickly logic morphs into (from our point of view, anyways) nonesense? Says more about us than it does about reality, whatever that really is.
The natural inclination of the components of the paradox is to separate by as much time, space, energy and logic as possible (that is by definition, if carefully examined). Yet opposing viewpoints are a result of insufficient data sets (knowledge). So it is, in a way, ignorance of reality that separates reality into sections. Since all viewpoints are simply a matter of perspective then it is fair to say that there is only one reality, but that reality supports every perspective possible within it, no matter if there are those that require that particular section or not.
So all things are possible - or not.
Good way to straddle the fence, if nothing else.


On the Reiki topic. Forgot to mention the most surprising result.
Three days before I began reading the book I got an absess along my gumline that extended to include three teeth. Maybe a few days before that my appetite went and I was not feeling very good. I knew I was coming down with something. Then my tooth started hurting. It got so bad I was popping painkillers and considering having the tooth pulled. That's when I started reading the book. I read just the introduction and my mind was making some new connections to other data. The universal energy is something I know and sense and feel. It comes up in so many areas, and has so many intriguing repurcusions. I fell asleep not long after.
When I awoke the absess was gone completely, and no pain whatsoever, done.

Planets, araucaria, planets. There is simply no escape.

I received an e-mail from Samsara, addressed to all of us. (Thank you, dearest, and all the best to you).

So I will copy it here:

"Hoping this e-mail finds you well. I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I am thinking of you with fondness.

I'm on the outside looking in, in so many ways. I still follow Village (and Ranch) life in Avalon, so I'm right there with you in your happiness and sorrow. Having gathered my energy close to me for some needed healing, I travel this road with gratitude. So many great things happening, like just this morning, my grandson calling me with excitement telling me how he has succeeded in biking on two wheels all by himself. Greatness in small details.

Please know that I love you.

My gift to you on this beautiful day,

I'm on the mend, gradually. But there is more to the case than meets the eye...
Apparently earlier that same day Simon had been threatened by someone
and so had gone to the police station to file a report.
It was already after dark when he was walking home.
They also found a bruise on his face that they thought could not have been caused by the fall
but which was not there when he left work.
Autopsy time.


Part of it is that I thought we dealt with this one already. I deja'vu'd this 'episode' a good year ago.

Did we really? I don't recall.

But I have noticed one thing lately....both my memory to retrieve the past as well as my imagination to visualize a future have suffered setbacks recently.

The only explanation for this is that I have been focused too much on being in the Here and Now.

I get temporal mix up at times. This is one of those times. Echos. Ripples. Both forward and back from the given event. The one event we call 'history', and it's ripples through time. There is also the other ripple. The pre-echo, or 'pre-ripple', as one might think of it.

The memory of the event returns, the memory of the pre-echo, but sometimes.....only in the post event 'time' of linear unidirectional time sense.

Possibly..something that had to be, something that had to occur as it did, in our linear sense of what is, and what is not.

Again, My avatar. It is there for a reason. I chose it for it's representation.

Pre, now, and post. All three tied together, connected.

Bubbles, connected systems. Organized systems, both together and separate, dimensional spaces.

And the color, as we see it 'here', in the now. Blue shift, red shift..and the violet, the purple.

Note that the pre..appears as if is not quite a perfect alignment, not a perfect 'seal', not a perfected construct. Like one of the small bubbles is touching it, but I see it as a break, an opening into. The spiral, the motion into. The now, and the past..are both seemingly -locked.

Like looking glass, I am puzzled still, with what to do with it. And in an unknowing state - at least do on harm. Do not play with things that one does not properly understand.

Perhaps it is a thing to move into, but unsureity.. and presumptuousness ...both have their price.

I agree...and the distinction has to be made between work, where much is at stake,
and play, which is experimental, and therefore still risky,
and theorizing, while pondering possible outcomes.
As you said, it is all we have.

I am progressively unwilling to discuss on the net, time, timelines, Philip K Dick. Certain topics gain too much attention from the loyal opposition.

I hear you Reilly, but I'm not sure I understand: are they laughing at us or picking our brains? Also, given that the loyal opposition is not monolithic but has its own embedded opposition, the spread of any information may actually be a good idea?

I think we should just ignore the opposition. I like the way Tolkien handles this issue. For example, the Gollum is repeatedly allowed to live and even help, until ultimately he is the vital instrument not only of his own downfall but also that of his entire camp, by accidentally destroying the key ring (pun intended :)) as no one else could. Some problems just sort themselves out, often by collapsing under their own weight. I myself have just recovered from a nasty liver condition on zero medication and zero guru's healthy dietary advice, just eating whatever would go down. It just came, I don't know why, and it just went, I don't know how.

Excuse my ignorance dear Ulli: what stargates? And when? And what is normal?


There is simply no escape.

This sounds very much like a closed system, dynamic only because it moves, but ultimately static because it goes round in endless circles. As far as I am concerned, a closed system is merely an open system with a concealed entrance/exit, akin to a labyrinth.

A) We think we know from the Nineveh Constant that all planetary alignments revert to where they were 6.2 million years or so ago. This may be theoretically the keynote of the solar system, but this does not mean that everything is carved in stone. For example, we definitely seem to have lost a planet somewhere along the way (the asteroid belt). Astrology takes the minor planets into account, so the picture would have been very different before the catastrophe that produced them. Or, Venus may be a recent intruder. Or again, the Earth may within human memory have been in a stationary orbit around Saturn, seen as a fixed star at the North Pole. I don’t know.

So the system is somewhat dynamic on a cosmic timescale. Perhaps one day something nice this way cometh, on the scale of such catastrophic events? For Ulli’s sake, I’ll save this for another post.

B) astrologers who include the background constellations will tell you that every 25920 years we return from the twelfth sign of the zodiac to the first for another ride on this cosmic rollercoaster. Others are trying to insert a thirteenth constellation called Ophiucus. Either way, what you have is like a piece of paper where top and bottom have been taped together: the circle is not seamless, and hence can be broken.

To break the seam, we just need to remember that the entire solar system is not caught up in this seemingly enclosed space cut off from everything else; it is actually constantly exploring new space never visited before even after many galactic orbits. For example, of late we have been moving into a giant dust cloud, which has got to be a major game changer. Interstellar space does not just include zero point energy that needs to be taken into account; it also contains a certain amount of matter, which is also bound to have an astrological effect, however tiny.

The trouble with astrology (and it is a drawback) is that, like Newton’s theory of gravity, it works all the time – or rather, nearly all the time, as we are currently discovering. I would suggest that the discrepancy comes from his closed system model of an open system.

Astrology works, even though, like gravity, we don’t seem to know what astrological influence actually involves. If you ask a layman what is the speed of gravity, he will probably say infinite. If you ask a specialist, he will likely say the speed of light. However, experiments carried out by astronomer Tom van Flandern suggest somewhere in between: not less than two billion times the speed of light (making it still a form of “spooky action at a distance”).

We know that astrology is not based on gravitational effects, which are much too weak. Some electrical effect seems more likely. Astrology relies on Newton’s theory of ill-understood gravity to tell where the planets are/will be, and on a second ill-understood phenomenon to accurately predict their effect on us earthlings. I am suggesting that it would not be quite so accurate were we to see the solar system in terms of an open system.

There is a natural tendency to overlook the Earth’s effects on the other planets, which has a boomerang effect on Earth herself. I think we can learn something from the Earth’s effects (being local) on the Sun (being large). We know that the timeline of civilizations correlates neatly with sunspot activity. On a shorter timescale, Richard Michael Pasichnyk has noted how Earth events have an effect on the Sun, such as producing solar flares – not the other way round! This is rather like the way there will be a solar flare to greet a sun-grazing comet, only we are doing it from a much greater distance.

Obviously the boomerang component is somewhat counterintuitive. We think that the Sun is in charge: it is, but like any good parent, it will reprimand a child who gets too far out of line. For me, what astrology is actually doing is studying similar boomerang effects on our sister planets. One major component here is therefore human behaviour. If we learn to raise our game, which is what we are trying to do, we will stop thinking “There is simply no escape”. Or, if we see it as an illness, we reduce stress and expect recovery. My personal diagnosis would be “growing-up pains”.

Yes, yes and yes to all the earlier paragraphs. Also, you astonish me with your insights and understanding.
And it is a closed system, just as life is a closed system, at least physical life.
No one gets out alive.

The only thing where I differ is that I don't do constellation astrology at all. The constellations were lined up with the 4 points of equinoxes and solstices thousands of years ago, but since then have shifted. The twelve signs are measured from the spring equinox onward, which s the first degree of Aries. The twelve constellations on the other hand have nothing to do with the precise maths of western astrology. The ancients simply gave names to groups of fixed stars which coincides with the twelve divisions.
Which I have actually reduced to six divisions, as I paired up the signs with their opposites to form a whole. Personal quirk of mine. (I ought to write a book about my theory there.)

Anyway, the essence of astrology is about a the mathematical orderliness underlying all of nature, the way flower petals are formed according to geometric designs, and not random constellations of stars.

Astrology definitely is neither about influence of the planets nor the effect.
Although even the most knowledgeable astrologers might speak in those terms.
That's because of our training, we all think in linear terms.
But when one rewires one's brain, to accommodate the hermetic factor of "as above, so below"
And tries to switch from linear left brain thinking and use of language to non-linear wholeness right brain grasp of events
one can see that terms like cause and effect lose their meaning.
When I use the term 'stargates' (which is another personal quirk of mine...as the term is not used in astrological circles at all, and you won't find it in astrology books) I'm speaking of orbs. Orbs is the term used for the number of degrees astrologers believe a planets geometrical angle to another planet allows for an interchange of energies between them. It is then during such times that events associated with those energies can take place, and hence can be predicted, and unfortunately not with 100% accuracy.

There are always more factors involved than anyone can possibly see. But still, the knowledge of the positions of the other planets gives one a lot more insight than knowing how the four seasons will influence the weather, as that knowledge is only taking into account the earth's 23 degrees tilt of its axis.

Anyway, if the whole cosmos is located within each of us, so is the solar system, and it does it's thing within the person, at the same time as the planets do their thing on the outside. So we are speaking of parallel events, rather than cause and effect.

'Simultaneous' would be a better way of describing the inner and outer event.

Oh, araucaria, and I nearly forgot to respond to your question 'what is normal?'
Let's give this a shot...hmm..
After the times of change and transition and sometimes even transformation that accompany a planetary transit, things usually get back to 'normal', like a plateau.
Here 'normal' to me means the comfort zone where new conditions can be assimilated without further interruptions. Like looking around and discovering the new subtleties, enjoying the different perspective.
For the majority of people who are non-thinkers unfortunately 'normal' means a routine cycle where they simply sink into a passive state, of doing their work routines, play routines and rest routines, where all contemplation is suspended, and life becomes simply as mechanical and predictable as it was before, while they live in hope that nothing 'bad' will ever happen again, and all they worry about is where to buy the next hamburger.

I guess for me sometimes everything seems here and now. People say I sometimes talk about 1,000 or 2,000 years ago as if its here and now. If I don't see someone for six months I talk to them as if they were never away. I go on a trip, come home, and walk in like I've been out to the grocery store. I wouldn't notice it except it surprises some people.

On the other, i used to be able to know the future and now I don't. Life was like surfing. But my knowledge of the future stopped some time ago. Don't know what that indicates or the cause.

Quite a long article here:

http://www.strayreality.com/pax_romana.htm

The final paragraphs:

Last , not least , of the similarities and the backbone of Roman might, was
its economy, based upon two solid pillars:

A world wide control of raw materials.
A solid capitalistic system with unparalleled productivity.
The Romans conquered the world, with their salt from Ostia, at the time,
a very important and strategic product.


The Americans dominate the world, in controlling the sources and the flow
of oil, without which the worldwide economy would collapse.


The tankers and pipelines, that supply our world today with oil, obey
orders coming from America, in the same way, as the salt commerce
was directed, by invisible hands from ancient Rome. Also the same
discretion prevailed. Salt was shipped on Rhodesian and Phoenician
ships, like oil is transported today in Liberian, Panamanian or Greek
tankers.


A last reason, for the build up of the Roman empire, was the creation of
an immense slave force, that supported and controlled, the whole social
structure and economy, of the Roman times. One must not imagine the
Roman slave beaten, in chains and starved, but more as a modern employee, working in an office on a computer, or running a business for his owner.


The only difference being, that slaves were fed and housed, by their owners,
and couldn’t change their employer, while employees in modern times, get
paid, in order to provide for themselves and can be fired.


In 2000 years, historians in analyzing our times may feel the same horror
we feel about slaves in ancient Rome.


To conclude, one can say, that Romans were not romantic conquerors like Napoleon, who wanted to bring French culture to all of Europe, or Hitler who
wanted to bring all of Europe, under German law. Romans were down to
earth businessmen, with a good dose of practical intelligence.


Without tiring, they all worked for the expansion, of their multinational
company "Senatus Populusque Romanus, Inc" (In the name of the Senate
and the People of Rome.)


Julius Caesar and Augustus, were rich land owners and important
businessmen, long before they began their political career. As Billionaires,
in Sesterces, they were acting in the same manner, as modern time
$ Billionaires, in supporting the arts, funding universities and science and
owning sport clubs or organizing sport events.


Never would the idea have come to a Roman mind, to become a great philosopher, like in ancient Greek, to repent publicly, like it was done in
medieval Europe, much less to die on a cross like Jesus did.


The same can be said of Americans.


So much so, that as Rome is remembered after 2000 years, as having
burned the Library of Alexandria, America will be remembered, for all the
future, as having destroyed, the 6000 years old Sumerian records, of ancient knowledge and the origin of man.

Now, Here to share some of my current Canadian escapade...

You see, I have been half way around the world in the past number of years on my passport...England, Malta, Sicily, Germany, Peru, Bolivia, Columbia..and yes, Canada about 4 months ago driving through from New York to Michigan.

Nova Scotia was a no go...we went through the 'full service' check in at Saint Stephen/Calais.
My Friend I went with happens to be a mild mannered somewhat leftover hippie from the late 60's early 70's, 10 years older than me...and me, well, a leftover somewhat rebel from the 70's.

The officer checking us in asked us questions separately... "Have you ever been arrested on criminal charges?"
I answered an outright "no"....and meant it personally/honestly from my viewpoint.
My Friend said "yes" to a dui and a marijuana possession in the later 60's.

Officer checks our records taking his time mind you...finds another minor charge from back then my Friend did not mention.
Found multiple dui charges on me in the 70's and a bad check charge occurring when I went through my business troubles in the early 90's in South Carolina.

My Friend's 2nd one on one went rather smoothly. And I want to add he was a professional school bus / bus driver most of his adult working life.

My 2nd one on one...
The officer said to me you've had multiple dui's AND a fraudulent check charge...why didn't you tell me the truth. I said because I did not consider them 'criminal' and went on to tell him as briefly as possible that I have not had a drink for over 25 years and that that check charge came from business troubles from a bad client and I went through litigation and that I did everything I could to keep my business afloat amongst countless deposits and withdrawals in my business accounts those few years and that it has ALL been resolved...and I won in court and builders do not win in court. I was VERY firm when I spouted all of this out to him...not in his face, but firm.

In the meantime our vehicle and belongings were being thoroughly searched through outside.

The 3rd one on one we were given our "Allowed to leave Canada" papers and had to sign a release that basically said "we voluntarily withdraw our applications to enter Canada and agree to leave without delay"
This is after about an hour and a half goes by..

The officer said to my Friend...that I have an attitude and that he 'almost' let us through.

Our Friends we were going to visit had prepared a welcoming feast for us and had made arrangements for a couple of nice 'spirit' ceremonies with other friends joining...some other time : )
They actually emailed the Canadian Consulate and basically said "Shame on you" for not letting our friends that are 'a far cry from criminal' into visit us.


Well, my Friend wants to try again...because he feels that leaving 'voluntarily' allows us another attempt. so we did, the next day at Vanceboro, the next 'check-in' north.
After a few questions and checking our passports and driver's licenses...the officer at this small border gate asked us to pull up and said an officer will be with us at our vehicle in a moment. Well, that moment turned into 45 minutes. The 2 female officers came out together, in full military gear, with another set of papers of voluntarily withdrawal.
They said if we attempt entry a 3rd time we WILL be arrested.

I sent them Love silently :)
And life goes on...and I was actually quietly bringing in all the 'loving spirit' I could at both border check ins.

Now...we have recourse, and my Friend may follow through with it. I will not
I asked if there was anything we could do to make this right..and they gave us papers to follow through with getting in touch with the Consulate and requesting a 'rehabilitation' process. We were told it will take time and money but it may work : )


Come to find out they take 1 dui VERY seriously in Canada these days.

We also have been informed of multiple cases where people have been turned away at the borders and airports for old charges.
If you have a fairly current dui(within 5 years) you will probably be denied entry.

My friend who has a camp in NY state goes through regularly and it became over the years absolutely despotic. She can't even bring food to her camp anymore and the camp is miles from everything. She is searched by agents who know her by name, but have to do the job and once in a while they give the job to a new one which is getting real nasty, she doe not know her that is why she is the border agent checking on her.

While my son was studying in Canada my husband and I were in Chicago,
during his court hearings to get visiting rights with his daughter,
who had been kidnapped by his first wife,
an Iranian woman, and who was living in the US with refugee status.

So these court hearings lasted longer than expected, with sometimes two week gaps,
and so we decided to take our hired car across the border and drive to Toronto to visit my son.

To my surprise both border patrols interrogated us beyond what I considered reasonable.
Neither of us have a US passport. We figured that what alerted them was simply our unusual story,
coupled with my husband's Costa Rican citizenship.
The Canadian border patrol were worse than the ones on the US side, however.
Something we had not expected at all.
So our friends in Toronto all shared some hair-raising stories of their own about the harassment
they received whenever they were entering the US...and they were all squeaky clean Canadians.
Definitely a case of retaliation going on between the two countries.
Did anyone read Target's story of when he drove south from Alaska?
Nowadays one has to be psychologically prepared to cross borders.

In my view what is happening at border patrols worldwide is deliberate...they are getting people to a point where they will welcome the NWO and international passport with open arms, when it is finally implemented.

In my heart of hearts, Ulli....I still feel there will be enough 'good' people in uniform that will turn this around as things unfold.

The two Women officers at the second border gate we tried to go through were very 'interested' in our story, or so it seemed.

You see, my friend had been to Nova Scotia twice in the past 4 years but had never been directed to a 'full' check in before this current trip...and I simply stated to them that all we wanted to do was re-connect with good friends.

I truly feel that these officers are amongst the many that know there is something very wrong with where things are going...and I feel they would be of the 'white hat' persuasion and actually defy orders(at any cost) that were 'un-human' on down the line...just a feeling.

May it ALL come to a 'higher' transition before my feelings are put to a test!

That's why I do not hold a passport. It is an infringement on my rights as a sovereign being, amongst many other infringements.
Back in the day we used to dash over the border for last call on a Friday night - they'd just wave us through.

The insanity of border crossings is absurd, and I will not allow myself to pay them to document and process me just to cross an imaginary line. I also won't fly, for similar travesties to my civil rights. I do not accept their fear propaganda nor that such measures increase safety, both poor excuses, except in the most extreme situations which this is not, to remove my sovereign rights in the first place.

More people are killed every year in car accidents than have ever been killed by terrorist acts in America, by far. Oops, preachin' to the choir again.

Sorry about your experience with Canada. Our actual people would not have let this happen to you but our governments, on both sides, are way over-stepping their bounds these days. And there are the small-minded in the grip of fear, imagining all manner of subversive contraband and nefarious characters inside every trunk and behind every steering wheel, nervously eying you over.

I also believe in the basic goodness of human beings. They will rise up when their time is ripe.

While Jake is still in the now, and we are talking about obnoxious people (border guards), I may as well tell you my Saturday night story. I was going to the movie, get to a corner where there is a gaz station, and saw a man fighting with a woman, him about 6 feet tall, black, dressed in YO, her about 5 feet 1, dressed in summer clothes, blonde and white.

She was not the victim, but the aggressor. She was literally jumping on him and he was screaming at her "leave me alone, this is my birthday" and try to pull away, she would pursue him and jump on him again.

I knew the gaz station clerk would call the police and the first thing they would do is accused the black guy (profiling, yes) and she would make sure she accuses him of attacking her too.

So, I phoned the police, told them what was happening and where, and told them that when the cops get there, they will assume it is the guy who attacks, to make sure the active officer understand it is the woman who is the attacker. I repeated 3 times, it is the woman who is assaulting, don't take the guy in.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would ever call the cops for a battered men (I am very biaised on those topics) to make sure he is not wrongly accused.

Well Flash....that was a very, very good thing You did : )
Most people would not give it a second thought when witnessing and just turn and walk away.


I had a similar personal happening in the early 80's. I must pre-empt it with 'I am not the marrying type and tried to do the right thing' and my Wife and I had Our Daughter 6 months after the wedding.

My Wife and I 'took a break' after a few years and She flew back to California to be with Family for a year with the Kids.

That year I met a Girl on the Cape and we had a rather exceptional relationship...
when I broke the news that I was flying back to California to see if we could make things work again She was not happy.

We went out for dinner a few weeks before I left(probably should not have) and when we left the restaurant/club she had had a few drinks and all of a sudden on Main St., Hyannis She 'lost it' on me. She started swinging Her purse at my head and was throwing punches with the other hand and She was strong and athletic and if I had not grabbed Her biceps like a vice grip with my hands She would have definitely broken my nose or some such and made a mess of me.

A police cruiser came by and the officers jumped out of the car and separated us and She took off down the street and the police handcuffed me....

She's about 20 yards away now and looks back and yells,
"Hey, let him go, I was beating on him and I started it...he was protecting himself...LET HIM GO...."

And they did...and of course told me to go my own way and settle this some other time.

Sooooo...hats off to You beautiful Women out there : ) : ) : )

Not too talkative just now. Still, enjoying the ebb and flow, the rhythm of the village.

The talk of border checks reminds me how little I know about the going on outside my self. Not that I understand what goes on inside, haha. I digress. Mike listened to coast to coast on the radio this morning, and was introduced to Agenda 21. He then shared bits and pieces with me. Sometimes it frustrates me, knowing just enough to see bigger intentions, but knowing I am but one person and really can't do anything to change the way things are.

It's part of the puzzle, anyway. Time slips and dimensional slips.

IIRC, it was charles Fort who spoke of such things as 'dimensional archways', one being in a desert area, with 'interesting conditions'. Lots of crystals and when the weather was right, one could pass through the archand be dimensionally shifted.

well, I tend to see the same things when the weather is right,an I'm in the right spot at the right time.

As for the 3-4-5 lightning strikes near me on Friday... one of them hit right next to my old house I used to live in, when I was passing by it.

OK.

I stand guilty of playing with Kundalini while driving in the car (just a little bit). In a huge thunderstorm. I happened to be driving down a road I usually go down, but It passes right by my old back yard.

BTW, just had two nighttime full moon helicopter flyovers just before the prior post.

Lots of Uranus in my horoscope (rules electricity), and I have used power lines as travel lines in astral form. I've spoken on that before. Anyway....it looks like the local (to where I was) lines were hit. whoops.

No wonder my friend talked my ear off, during his power outage. He lives in the same area, and he was in the dark, so he talked on the phone with me for about two hours.

Here's my here & now, a sentence examining a quote from one A.N. Prior (with a name like that...):


Did the patient who exclaimed “Thank goodness that’s over!” after a half-hour ordeal at the dentist’s really mean: “Thank goodness the latest part of that is earlier than this utterance”? is there not something more basic to his thankfulness, stating not merely the fact that an event is behind him, but “the overness, the now-endedness, the pastness of the thing”, that it has so to speak spilt over into nothingness?

Back-of-a-postcard-length comments on the concept of now-endedness welcome ;)

Hi there you guys. That day has finally come where it's time to mercifully put my old dog friend Monkey to sleep. It'll happen in about two hours, and then we'll bring her back home for burial where she belongs. I can tell she knows it's her time, she's ready to go, and she's good with it. But still, if you could spare a moment to send a kind and loving thought her way it would be most appreciated.

When I was 19 years old and had recently arrived in London, I had never heard of spiritualists.
Then a friend asked me to accompany her when she had an appointment with one of them, and even though I was not a paying client this woman gave me information about the spirits surrounding me at the time...
My grandfather, a great-aunt, and my father's dog, who I always considered my dog, being a possessive kid,
and so I learnt early in life that our beloved pets remain close to us forever.
If we desire it to be so.

Kind and loving thoughts coming, Fred, but you and your family might need them even more than your dog. I've just lost my best friend and Im still reeling....

my daughter was giving hugs to people in the tube in London when she liked their dresses, or the manga costumes or.... I had to tell her to stop it, she said, well, I love them, I said, yes, anyone is very happy to be hugged and glued to a beautiful 16 years old. I think in fact she was just very happy to finally feel a bit better after a long and very tough spring, but people would not know this of course.

The Brits were so astonished that it was almost funny, they would let her hug with her innocent look but were stiff and frozen, even the young ones.

I finally told her that she proved to me she needed quite a lot of supervision still and could not be let alone in a large city. lol

She even hugged some costumed gypsies because she found it pretty and took a picture of them for which they ask me 5 pounds afterward. I behaved as an North American: F c king no, you have not told me in advance it would cost, you get 1 pound.

So where else on the Intertubes would I post that I had what I'd have to call an "Operation Bluebeam" dream last night.

Thousands of "apparent" craft (lights, high aloft, moving at probably several thousand miles an hour, creating trails streaking across the night sky - not a squadron but a stream. One very large, obvious "ET-esque" craft less than 1000 feet up, maneuvering around slowly and silently. Oval shaped, with maybe a dozen lights on the bottom, around the perimeter.

Then, on the sidewalk, some little devices (mint green colored, flat on the bottom, cylindrical sides, round on top - maybe 3/4" tall) became apparent when the tops opened and they sprayed out tiny solid spheres (about 1mm.) The spheres stuck to clothing and skin, and if they hit skin, would start to sort of just burrow right into the skin as if the skin was melting. I was with a young woman I do not know (but sort of seemed to be familiar in the dream), and she got 2 of them on her: one on her scalp, and I was able to quickly pop it off with thumbnails (like popping a zit), and one went on her leg and it was too deep to pop off. So, I asked the group of people there if anyone has a knife, and a teenage kid had a folding pocketknife with a bizarre looking blade (but I would have used a piece of broken glass at that point - it seemed like it HAD to be removed.) Her eyes turned milky white as it burrowed in, and streaks or tendrils (maybe an inch long) came out of the embedded nodule, under her skin, straight up and straight down. I had to dig it out! I took the blade to her skin...

...and woke up.

One of my strangest dreams, ever. I had not been thinking anything about UFOs, aliens, faux-aliens, Bluebeam... nothing of the sort. Nor did I have late-night pizza.

So there. It has now been reported to the proper authorities.

Your mind created the dream, using imagery from my recent experiences. The first part reminded me of a UFO video I was watching yesterday, and the second part clearly reminded me of the people playing paintball on Sunday in the little patch of land here in front of my house, between us and the river. I had stepped out and was watching for a bit, and had wondered what would happen when they got hit, and if there was something toxic about it.

And of course, there are always parallels, as I had been hit myself, with a paintball of grief.
And gone into a tail spin. So here and now: 5:05 am, and I just woke up and felt like a weight had lifted. I thought I had finally found the resolve to not go any lower...to harden myself with thoughts like,
'oh, to hell with it, we're all gonna die anyway, so what's left of my life isn't going to get ruined by Simon's death...thoughts like that...I kind of surprised myself,
what kind of a human being am I that I can harden my own emotions like that...
but then again, I've had a lot of practice over the years, with endless losses. Life goes on.
Thanks for allowing your own dream mechanism to perform the operation that exorcized my grief demon. I really do appreciate it. This is what a good Village is all about...we can help one another in dreamtime.

This is why I said 'I thought we had dealt with this episode already'.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?61394-Time-Shifts-Time-Slips

It's part of the puzzle, anyway. Time slips and dimensional slips.



Maybe so Carmody, but this would have been during my own 'missing time' episode (weeks offline). This is the first I have heard of Starfire, so my idea of jumbled timelines did not come from her. If as she says, only people with integrity are copy and pasting beneficial episodes between timelines, then somewhere down the line one would expect all timelines to join up in one ideal patchwork.

Which no doubt they do, at least in some places. Look at Europe today.
How many public hangings did you pass on the way to work?

A friend of mine who's father worked for AID, and who grew up in different third world countries,
witnessed his first public hanging at age twelve, while living in Egypt.

So where else on the Intertubes would I post that I had what I'd have to call an "Operation Bluebeam" dream last night.

One of my strangest dreams, ever. I had not been thinking anything about UFOs, aliens, faux-aliens, Bluebeam... nothing of the sort. Nor did I have late-night pizza.

So there. It has now been reported to the proper authorities. :~)

Uh Oh. Maybe you should be taken in for a psychological evaluation, put on some stasis drugs, and quarantined for awhile, probed, prodded, x-rayed and checked out.

What if you breached a timeline or crossed a dimension or accidentally tapped into a stellar wavelength?

Here and Now...it has been brought to my attention that I have been more silent than usual. We can't have that, now can we? ;)

The problem is...that I'm either weirdly normal, or normally weird. I have the most astounding experiences that involve (apparently) my soul, yet the most mundane and heart-wrenching and mind-boggling struggles. This foot in both worlds is kicking my butt. I can have a mind-blowing experience that I cannot possibly understand, and the very next day it is integrated and I am back to a state of confusion. Not that a mind-blowing thing is not confusing, quite the contrary. I am in one moment reminded that I'm not really here, and the next reminded I am nowhere else. And I am endlessly pulled between the two.

In one moment, I have known to the core that I am not in this physical world. Just for a moment. And it is euphoric. And the next moment, I am reminded of all the shpit that exists in this world. Like, this morning I woke up and checked facebook to see what my girls are up to. M had posted something like this, "wtf with the woman in the apartment next door? She leaves her 4 year old son so that she can smoke meth. It is one thing to fck up your own life, but he is innocent. He did not ask to be brought into your problems, and he deserves more than this. I cannot believe this world we live in."

And I think, "M...you are wise beyond your years. Truly. Who would notice this? Who would have compassion for this little one? And, dang...if you aren't right, too." How fcking depressing.

And K, who is listening to her inner guidance, is answering some difficult questions posed by her Self and also by Little One. And the pain of this gets to me, too. Little One explained to me last weekend that Chris was only pretending to be his Daddy. That he wasn't his real Daddy. That he was acting like a big kid, wanting to play all the time and not be a grown up and be responsible. K spilled her guts to me about a week ago, and told me some of the things Chris did while they were together. And between these two little chats, Little One's and K's, I can't believe how difficult it is to stay above being physically ill. (For example, what kind of a man would steal $400 from a single mom to spend on drugs among other things?)

K seems to be holding it together, and dealing with the consequences of her actions. She is now dating a good ole' Texan named Bubba. Actually, that's not his given name, but it makes me chuckle nonetheless. I will be meeting this one in a couple of weeks. He is, by all accounts, just about the opposite of her previous choices. Yes, I would prefer she not date at all actually. But she's 22. It's going to happen. She has known this one for a couple of years, and he is a little older and has a son. The best possible thing I can say about Bubba is that K says his son is just like Little One. She has never met another boy like her son, and this gives me hope. He is sweet, a bit sensitive but not overly emotional, has compassion...basically an easy target for bullies in school-which starts in about a month. If she would just step one teeny tiny toe into the world of woowoo, she would understand what a gift these boys are. And not want so desperately to make them into macho men.

Em is now the resident incense maker at the Herb Store. She is having so much fun up there. It is funny, she is so quiet, like a church mouse. And she doesn't miss a thing when there are conversations going on all around her. She's been up there for...a month I think? And last Saturday she finally started saying hello to customers. And she is such a silly, loud, childlike girl that it astounds me how she has this side of her that is reserved. Huh.

Gosh, that's enough for now. I'm almost hyperventilating at sharing so much. I hope that my sharing encourages others to share. It isn't a matter of being social, for me, at all. I still maintain that with all the different paths, we share many things. And knowing the struggle of this world is not simply mine is so comforting.

I sent you loving thoughts, Fred, and still do. And Jake, you cracked me up yesterday just when I needed it :)

Thank you all for continuing to listen, and continuing to share. Here and Now...would not be the same at all without this Village.

Much Love,

oh...and Dennis...that dream blows my mind...I wonder if somehow you really did tap into Ulli and by gouging out the little ick you really did reach in and pull out something that didn't belong......

Great season for big fat cherries after last year’s washout, and for once I can gorge myself with no unwanted side effects.

How does he segue from living-room hangings to cherries, you may wonder. Well, Baudelaire wrote a piece about a painter who had a young boy working for him and who hanged himself in his studio, I imagine because he was scared of being sent back to his mother. This fine woman came along and walked off with the nail and rope, which she cut into short pieces to make more money selling it to the neighbours.

Now painters are partial to indoor hangings, but of a different kind. The artist in question was Manet, and prior to this incident he immortalized the boy in Boy with Cherries

I'm finding too many people have no idea

The first step toward solving a problem is admitting their is a problem. After years of chipping away, various angles tried/presented, walking out the door repeatedly, completely disengaging, fully engaging, constant battle...I succeeded in getting someone admit their problem, before the oft too-devestating "rock bottom"...

...hopefully it sticks...we learn and grow and fix things...and the rest of the steps don't take that long. Hopefully it is all worth it. What better you got to do I guess, than love?

A lot of people agree that love is the way to go.
Yet they attract the same set of problems, over and over.
Then one day they discover that there is a pattern.
The most guaranteed way to attract people problems
is by thinking that other people are not quite there yet.

This type of thought only distracts. We are not given enough energy to change others to our expectation, only barely have enough to get to know ourselves, and even less to make behavioral changes.
However, once the tiniest mechanical tic is eradicated, then life changes automatically.
It therefore cannot be emphasized enough that the ONLY path is the path of self knowledge.
Only then can we do anything about the society we live in, and even then only by our own example.

Agreed. My mantra has been "live by example". I have become a teacher, of sorts, the best I can. The only lessons I can think that I feel right about and are important enough to teach (to everyone) are:

Know thyself.
Love is always the answer.

Millions of different ways to say it. Even more ways to live it. I have served myself in the way (and sometimes even the words) I have shared...and that seems to serves others as well.

Keeping it simple in a reality that piles on complexity after distracting complexity is not easy....I love when johnf said once something like "just cuz it's simple doesn't make it easy". (heh, guess if it were easy, it probably wouldn't be worth it...or at least not be very interesting :p)

And I like friendship more than passion, as well. No burn outs.

Exactly. By a strange coincidence I ended up on a website last night about the fashion designer Ossie Clark.
Like Simon, he had studied at the Royal College of Art, under David Hockney.
Ossie once came to see me while he was in Barbados as I had been friends with his former wife, Celia Birtwell,
who had designed all his fabrics when he was still going strong. So they also had that Barbados connection, as well as both knew me.
Anyway, Ossie ended up penniless,
living in a council flat, when he was murdered by a male lover.

Since I had been looking for someone else who was also featured on that website about Ossie, and not been looking for Ossie at all, I took it as a sign.
But I'm not sure. My own suspicion could have manifested it all, as ALL beliefs are confirmed by life,
the true as well as the false.
Which is the reason life can be so tricky and confusing.
( Oops, I shouldn't have said that! Let me correct it quickly....
life is We-ONE-derfulllllllllll!!!!!!!!)

I can only go back as far as the New Testament, which was written in Greek. The word used is agape, as opposed to philia and eros, for Greek had three words where English only uses one (although others are available).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agape

I think the ambiguity of the word is part of the problem, i.e reflects on our difficulty in both grasping the concept and applying it. Maybe we need to take back the word "philanthropy", which has been somewhat hijacked by banksters covering over their tracks, and derive a verb from it to apply to individual interactions.

So...I took Em to the Herb store and dropped her off. I always tell her I am going to drop her off and run errands or something, and she always insists I come in and sit down for a minute.

I went in and sat down, as requested. And S began telling me how she is having a blah day, that her joy is conspicuously missing, and has been since yesterday. We were commiserating, truth be told, as I have felt the same. And S realized we had that full moon yesterday. I asked no one in particular, kind of musing out loud, "I wonder why it is that the moon has such an effect...why in the world would this be a difficult few days just because of a supermoon?" S answers, "yeah, it brings the crazies out."

We sat there a minute, pondering the possible reasons this is so (since Ulli wasn't nearby to explain anything astrological...which I'm sure is behind it somehow...)

And Em pipes in, "When we have a supermoon, the energy emanating from it is felt very strongly on Earth. And many beings of a very low vibration flock towards it to partake of this energy. And since they are in this dimension, and the vibration of this particular type of being is so low, they cannot get to the Source of all Energy but can get to this big burst. Therefore, as the entities are flocking to this energy, they are obstructing the moon and it's energy from us."

Now, I am not saying she's right. Or wrong. Right or wrong isn't actually the point, haha. What shocked S and me both into complete, dumbfounded silence is her ability to formulate this stuff.

Some are so frustrated and have absolutely no idea what their frustrated about? They vent in any direction--at the other selves--disliking the mirror reflection staring back.

Hi there you guys. That day has finally come where it's time to mercifully put my old dog friend Monkey to sleep. It'll happen in about two hours, and then we'll bring her back home for burial where she belongs. I can tell she knows it's her time, she's ready to go, and she's good with it. But still, if you could spare a moment to send a kind and loving thought her way it would be most appreciated.

Thank You,

Fred

P.S. Monkey's the one in front (from back in better days), they're all water dogs. (LOL)

I think the one's left behind are the ones who feel the emptiness. Animals and humans are probably having a wonderful experience after leaving this reality.

It's been around 5 years now since Fuzzy (hybrid wolf/rot mix) and Bubba (the Lab) left this reality. Every day I still talk to them, sing them a song and most days shed a tear or two. Fuzzy could really sing with his wolf voice and Bubba always returned stones thrown from the garden. Sometimes they show up in my dreams.
22122 22123

My current dogs, Bruno and Frodo help fill the void left. If I get a third dog I'll name him Porno to keep the rhyme. That will really confuse them. Frodo is the driver.

yesterday i went for a walk with my fiance and daughter to the park by our new house. while walking home thru a little trail along a man made pond, there were tons of wild flowers and clovers around. i went to pick a (red/purple) clover for my DD when i noticed a happy bumble bee beside the pile of clover flowers. instead of picking the flower, i held it at the stem and bent the flower towards the bumble bee to see if it would land.
and wouldnt you know! the bee landed on the clover i was holding and must have for sure enjoyed that teeny clover too!
i was blown away by my own calmness and the bees happiness and willingness to land on this one specific flower i was holding. versus the plenty of wild flowers around us, there were TONS! :D

couldnt help but to share this story. :)

The iceberg and humpback whales are not really related images, but what IS related is that colossal size, something under the ocean, emerging...and just as you were writing about it, I was posting something similar...without being aware of what you wrote. Just noting the coincidence.


Anyway, when a person has been on the path of becoming more integrated then what appears in their lives is the more akin stuff,
and less horror. Whereas someone who is utterly ignorant of what is hidden within their subconscious still experiences shocks.

If, however, they decide to have a good look at everything that happens in their lives, pays close attention, lives in the firm belief that everything has meaning, happens for a reason, then they can see the connections, learn from them, take responsibility for all events, as something THEY have unconsciously created, then progress becomes possible, and more and more synchronicities begin to happen.
And life becomes IN-joy_able, increasingly so.

Hi Ron. Yeah, we gave the other two dogs a few minutes to sniff around Monkey's body, and they were part of the burial as well. The emptiness will be there regardless (for all of us), but it seemed proper they at least gain somewhat of an understanding of what had happened, not just that their fair sister went away one day and never returned.

I whole heartily agree with you about the experience after leaving this reality. The last thing I said before leaving the grave site was "fly Monkey, you're free now".

Fuzzy and Bubba look and sound like they were really great dogs Ron, a couple of real characters huh? That's pretty cool they sometimes show up in your dreams, reminds me of one of the other last things I said to Monkey: "See you at The Rainbow Bridge old girl, we'll be there when it's our time".

There are many Fuzzy and Bubba stories. Before they were adults, they would sometimes create major problems by chasing the cows at the neighbors farm. If the neighbor would have seen the chase he would have shot the dogs. We hired an animal communicator to walk the property line, talk to the dogs and tell them they were risking their lives to chase cows, but they could chase rabbits and ground hogs. It worked. I never saw the dogs chase another cow.

The animal communicator, Patty Summers (http://www.psanimal.com/), said to my (ex)wife, "Fuzzy likes to challenge your husband." Patty was right. Fuzzy would catch the Frisbee, return it to me, but would not let the Frisbee loose. Fuzzy always wanted a tug of war. But if a woman, even if a stranger, threw the Frisbee, Fuzzy would gently give it up.

Both Bubba and Fuzzy were excellent playmates. They could jump and catch the Frisbee in mid-air. Pretty good for 100lb plus dogs.

And life becomes IN-joy_able, increasingly so.

Observing this coming into fruition in a life seems to increase the number of synchronicities. I've found that they seem to happen most when one is in a relative state of clarity or considering an issue of some overall importance in a life. In a discussion with a friend in a chat recently about issues of higher mysticism, in passing, I told another friend who was leaving then and going to a party in a barn, to enjoy the "hoot nanny". A few seconds later, another friend enters into a shared conversation in another group and proceeds to describe a dream with an owl, writing the word "hoot". A small sycnchronicity, but one that has higher esoteric meaning that was pertinent to what was being discussed, highlighting that meaning and emphasizing its importance with some sort of multidimensional confirmation.

The larger synchronicities that have been guiding my life since the beginning of the year have also not only not stopped, but have gotten even more pointed. It is at the point now where the magical is almost the mundane. Which is why I work hard to maintain an attitude of gratitude and humility, constantly trying to clear whatever issues come up in the moments of the day, wherever I might find discord that leads to a lack of clarity. Because, true to form, the moment that happens, if I succumb to it, a serious setback occurs and the meaningful coincidences stop for a while until I can clear whatever issue it was that ended up blocking me from being in the flow.

Quote from the above link:

It is sometimes represented as a hyperplane (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperplane) in space-time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time),[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Present#cite_note-2) typically called "now"

I think we ought to rename this thread something like Hyperplanes in spacetime, just to scare away the riffraff.

I just got some flak from my daughter as a conspiracy theorist for mildly suggesting that the 'It's a boy!' stuff was just a farce as they would surely have chosen the sex from the outset. Well, she said, then why would they have just changed the Salic law to enable female succession? I refrained from suggesting as a smokescreen perhaps.

Coming to terms with that death meant coming to terms with an awful lot more...
including someone like Jimmy Saville himself.
Although I always figured him to be an extremely creepy character.

Since the last dream I had before I woke, and they happen in reverse order... was about arguing with blondish woman in a hospital about how her problems with understanding the nature of reality was impinging deeply on her ability to manifest, and also impinging upon mine, via the 'bubble' of her energies that was expanded into me as she had no idea about boundaries, or what any of that stuff means -or that it even exists...

So here I am, making those posts (other threads) and arguing about/with a shortsighted woman in a hospital (in this one).

Again, one can be free of these influences but one has to consciously and continually concentrate, and have it in the backdrop of the mind, constantly. Isolationism, build the bubble, rise to the top of it -see it all and be clear, at the same time. If you want to interact...Involvement has it's price. The most difficult balance of all, IMO and IME.

Becoming individually free, is easy, IMO and IME. Just do what I've said, it illustrates the path and the reasons behind that path. Integrating and illustrating the path, is bereft with the problems of finding a way to have people drop the depth & the core of their reality frameworks, the components that blocks their given selves.

And that frameworks is as deep as the motion of the arm, the breathing/movement of the chest and the beating of the heart. Outside of normal conscious knowing.

Made cookies last night, all organic, have to get hubby off GMO junk food. Sneckens is next, that looks to be a hairy process ...

Pippin is doing squirmies and roll floppies next to me, Martha fast asleep now, on the cat tree. Little fan going, getting warm.

Just a thing for the 'bad guys' to understand.

Well, in the first level past this life, we come to the way station area. Ghosts and whatnot. Astral travel, etc. That sort of stuff. Well, when a spirit is 'ready' to go back and finish of the given cycle, the 'door' appears, the 'light' appears to them.

How does it get there, this light, this door......to where they 'are'?

It has to be mobile, and intelligent.

We're talking about agreements, not hard realities that are inescapable.

If one violate agreements, then what holds this intelligent, thinking, mobile, door which has no locational limits... to the violated situation?

Think about that for a while.

No one is immune to being found, and no one is immune to being sent back.

I'm remaining detached. Even though children are involved. That does not mean, however, that I am not bothered by this. M is distraught, okay that's an understatement. This morning two toddlers, both girls and apparently related-possibly sisiters, were found wandering outside in the apartment complex. One was inside a toy plastic cart, the other pushing. They looked to be both under the age of three. A group of motherly-looking women were scattering, knocking on doors apparently trying to find someone to "claim" these girls. And no one was. The police were called.

And M is beside herself. How can two children, who cannot even reach a door knob, be outside unsupervised...for a period of time...and no apartment doors are wide open...and no one has ever seen these two girls before...

On top of this little boy of about 4 years old, who has developmental issues and doesn't look like he eats, whose mother has meth marks all over, who leaves this child with different men, three last week, and whose mood flips on a dime...

What in the hell can I/we do here????? We have no names, no faces, no pictures or videos, no nothing. We know the system is broken, the one that has sworn to keep children safe. And we know that a confidential informant is anything but confidential, so that if M calls for help it will undoubtedly create problems for K (whose current "home" is in these apartments).

M says to me, "Mom, I understand there are lessons to learn here, I understand there are contracts and agreements at play. But this is just WRONG!"

I sent angelic protection to these children, and to M who has concocted a plan to bring attention to the little boy and his plight.

I do not want to be confused into a state of doing nothing, simply because agreements have been made between souls (a probability imo). I can't stand to know there is suffering. And what is worse is doing nothing.

They are people who have sold their souls, and who therefore cannot rely on support from the higher spiritual worlds.

When I saw where the path of sophisticated and competitive city living was leading I did a 180 degree U turn.
Lets call it a "ulli-turn".

So now, when I see sophisticated and competitive advertising of a product, or an idea, I'm instantly turned off.

The fact is that with all this globalization the real people have been left behind, and until they are given a voice humanity can never get back on track.

The law of the jungle crowd have painted themselves into a corner.

People are finding loop-holes, but they have to be united to implement them.

Here is a NextWorldTV video about the town of Sedgwick, Maine, where a step was taken to fight back against the FDA.


"Sedgwick, Maine has done what no other town in the United States has done. The town unanimously passed an ordinance giving its citizens the right “to produce, process, sell, purchase, and consume local foods of their choosing.”

This is WITHOUT government regulation.

This includes raw milk, locally slaughtered meats, and just about anything else you can imagine. It means that farmer and patron agree to enter into private agreements with one another, and settle any disputes that arise personally and civilly.

It is the way things used to be done before Americans sacrificed their freedoms to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other federal agencies that now tell the public what they can and cannot eat.

Food sovereignty ordinances are what must be in place to enable an explosion of local food production.

This video explains the main principles. The term was coined in 1996 by members of Via Campesina, a coalition of over 148 organizations, advocating family-farm-based sustainable agriculture.

"Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to define their own food and agriculture; to protect and regulate domestic agricultural production and trade in order to achieve sustainable development objectives; to determine the extent to which they want to be self reliant; to restrict the dumping of products in their markets; and to provide local fisheries-based communities the priority in managing the use of and the rights to aquatic resources. Food sovereignty does not negate trade, but rather, it promotes the formulation of trade policies and practices that serve the rights of peoples to safe, healthy and ecologically sustainable production."

-"Statement on Peoples' Food Sovereignty" by Via Campesina, et al.

This is only the beginning!

Oddly (timing), I was just asking M if she had heard anything about the two little girls. M said she spoke with a neighbor who relayed this much. The mother of the girls lives in the complex. This is something that occurs frequently. Since the police were called, she beleives the girls were taken away. The neighbor said "she does this often" implying some action on the mother's part.

As for the little boy, it will be a couple of weeks before I hear anything.

Hoping with everything I've got that these moms get the help they need.

I had a good laugh on Nanoo's thread with the cat herders . We are the cats. My daughter has been practising a circus act with hers for years, simply to demonstrate that what can be done with lions and cats won't wash with an ordinary tabby.

The funniest part was that this was an advertisement for some corporation that did not realize that it was really shooting itself in the foot with this claim to do the impossible :)

Received my first attunement last nite in the Reiki realm. This will go very well with my yoga as the relaxation/cooldown portion of my excerice routine. My little brain is churning out ideas of how I might use this practice in the future for the benefit of those around me. Worse, my mind is more and more considering an alternate profession - or I should say the possibility of another type of career. Just cannot seem to figure out what that may be. Probably getting way ahead of myself but, hey, that's me. Overly enthusiastic about a new discipline, I go off full tilt, without properly thinking out the ramifications. Then the fad fades and I'm back to my little boring life again, pulling wires and mounting boxes. All manner of "stuff" is coming up: past, present, future considerations. Reiki is a handful.

Hey?! where is our weekly Pele report? Hope you are well, Avid. Avid, are you there?

Here and now...sitting outside eating my yogurt with nuts and twigs thrown in. I don't buy raspberry, but now I can't eat any flavor without thinking of raspberry. This morning, it's peach, but I wonder...what are these "natural flavors?" Thsnks a lot, hahaha.

I am forced to eat breakfast, which is really not my thing as a rule. Apparently, the reason I have spent so many hours sleeping for several years is that my adrenal glands are fried. Adrenal fatigue is what it's called. Western medicine does not recognize this, although I believe there is an actual diagnosis if they are overactive or completely dead.

So, I'm taking this natural booster and balancer, which requires a more structured approach to eating.

Looks like it will be a hot and sunny day here in Texas, USA. Of course I am constantly surprised since I don't watch the news or weather. Maybe a cold front is due to come through and it will be the first snowstorm of the year. Oh, or I mean, the only snowstorm of the year. Yeah, I know...

I know a woman -- she's one of my favorite people actually -- her name is Joyce. I slip into calling her Joanne sometimes, don't know why I do that. She used to get upset at me because it seems like I don't care about remembering her name. It's not that. She came to understand it's some kind of block in my brain. Like switching words or letters as you type. Nothing personal, odd as it sounds.

Here's a group hug for Ernie, :grouphug: and thanks for reminding us about the Pele report. I got the link to Tom's website; Astrid would want us to have it. My work blocks YouTube, so I can't post the actual video.

I see the latest video is July 17 ... that's why Astrid hasn't posted the one for this week!

Good Morning.

Having stumbled, once again, upon the words "Satanic" and "Witchcraft" put together as one phrase, satanic witchcraft, I am wondering why this is the only reference to witchcraft that is popular, widespread, accepted, believed. I happen to know there is an opposite to this. I wonder what it is called. You don't hear of God-like witchcraft, or Angelic witchcraft, or Divine witchcraft.

An example of how the outer mirrors the inner, I would guess, as I have been stripping the religious influence from my core and seeing that there is a Unity that has been split into two dynamics. But beyond that split is a ... oh dear, channeling Rumi? ...a field beyond right and wrong...I guess I have always interpreted that field as a physical field of prairie grass, green and tall, waving in the wind...but it is also a field of energy.

I guess the important piece to the puzzle for me is learning how to exist in this field while also existing in the aftermath of the split.

It seems I started out with two hands. A piece of the puzzle appeared in one, then in each. And then another piece of the puzzle was revealed, and instead of setting one piece down I grew another hand. And at this point, I can't count the hands, can't count the puzzle pieces. Sometimes they make no sense, and sometimes I don't realize until a moment of clarity that some of my hands have arranged some of the pieces into a unified image that actually makes sense.

So what have I learned? That I am only aware of the tiniest, most miniscule section of what exists, how things really are, that the physical is not even a fraction of the whole picture.

Oh dear, and this is my first cup of coffee? Hahahaha...I wonder what today will bring :)

Much Love, my friends...
