Here and Now...What's Happening?

[donk]

Are they ones that just flatline? Dont poke their heads higher than a mower blade?

Indeed, and I believe they not only have made the conscious choice to avoid the temptation of growing vertically, they have found a way to go grown even “against the grain”, learning that I come at them from a different angle each week, and adjust accordingly.

I, for one, support biodiversity, and could give a **** what my lawn looks like--I would let grow wild and free if not for my neighbors of my lovely "deed-restricted community"...no such things as neighborhoods no more. Though the instict part of me programmed with Darwinian survival of the fittest “instincts” has me a little worried on how adaptable these sonsofbitches are…

I do not own a lawnmower.

[Dennis Leahy]

This morning, out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move... on a stairway inside my house.

I went to investigate.

It was a frog.

Film at 11.

Dennis

p.s. When I went to let him go out in back of the house, where there was a skunk, digging up something in the yard (many small holes.)

Seems like lots of critters in my life recently - though critters are not unusual in an "organic" yard, there seem to be more and more variety.

[donk]

I spared a bug-sized toad from the mower that brutally murdered a box turtle earlier this season...wish I didn't have to mow, I'd have a plethora of different critters.

This weekend I went to the former golf course (now re-born nature preserve) by where I used to live, to the spot in the creek my kids and I (and some other locals) transformed into a swimming hole. First time I went solo (well, no people, Summit came with), so that the mud wasn’t churned up. I sat in place perfect for sitting and taking in the ridiculously good weather and beautiful surroundings, intending to meditate.

Just as I started getting into it, I feel little contact on my back. I look down and there’s a 4 inch fish, an aquarium fish on steroids. There’s about 3 or 4 different species that look like you’d put in a tank, or hybrids of various ones…invasive species with no fear of predation at all. It was mesmerizing looking at them all, dozens, forming hierarchical circles like scavengers on the Serengeti, most brave enough to brush against me or even nibble at me (they have no real mouth/teeth to speak of, no pain, just a little startling when not expected).

After playing with these guys (big for what they were, allowed to reach full potential, wouldn’t do well in a tank), the big guys came in. I used to play a game we called “6-inches” (I know, kinda creepy, stay with me, this IS safe for work) as a kid, where you use the tip of the outstretched pinky to thumb to measure 6 inches (so you can punch your brother in the shoulder til one person gives up). Anyways…using this precise measurement, some of these dudes were 6-10 inches long…so rather than meditate I kinda played with them, seeing how brave they’d be.

After a little while, a catfish crept over, staying close to the ground the whole time. It was a really cool experience, my buddy who still lives over there just got an underwater camera, hopefully we can get some footage before it gets too cold.

[donk]

It is one of my favorite things to do to explore the golf course. The story I told was on Saturday…Sunday was a little cooler (and I had mowing to do!) so I only went for a walk. Instead of going to the place I normally do, I went to an apartment I used to live at, about 5 and half holes from my swimming hole.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=22547&d=1377540884

This was hole #12, I knew it well, as it is the place where I came closest (in recent memory) to losing my life. 4 or 5 years ago, we were coming down this hill (a lot steeper than it looks, also—it was obviously well manicured, as golf courses tend to be) in the golf cary, when my buddy found the “sweet spot” in between the gears and the governor golfcarts have to prevent such idiocy. We started coasting down toward the green:

...which was fun at first, we got some speed. Then more speed. Then the steering started to feel a little loose, a little fishtailing action….I get a little nervous. I look over to buddy, one of the safest drivers I know, generally very cautious and responsible—except for every once while gets an adventurous bug up his ass…well I looked for reassurance that we were under control and I should be enjoying this, even though we were flying down the hill like a bat outa hell, quickly approaching the pair who’d started down before us.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=22548&d=1377540903

Instead of calm concentration focused on avoiding the cart we seem to be about to smash into, I see he is looking at me, wide eyed, sheer terror. Uh oh. I brace myself, body going rigid, clinging to inside of cart, pushing my feet against ground as hard as I can, bracing myself. He slams the brake, the thing whips 90 degrees, with the passenger side (which I am on) facing the bottom of the hill. The thing flips toward my side….

…I remain in the cart, the roof narrowly missing my head slamming into the concrete without being scratched (meaning it woulda popped my mellon if my head was 6 inches higher, only 2 inches and I would have been scalped). My boy was contorted, rigid, gripped up in his driver area, having prevented himself from falling down on me. My shirt got ripped, exposed skin got a little ding-ed up, but we walked away pretty much unscathed.

5 years later, my dog pees right around the spot he wasn’t allowed near before, goes and sniffs at the sinkhole where a drainage pipe burst, and chases a bunny down the gricklegrass where the next fairway used to be…

Oh, there was plenty I could have done today, but I figured I've been through so much, um, growth lately I would enjoy the rest. But... it really wasn't what I expected. I'll get to liking it in very short order.

What was funny was that I putzed around the house until I thought I should probably take a nap. Then I laid there playing free cell on my phone until I figured it was time for naptime to be over. Now it's about time to go pick her up.

Somehow over the summer I forgot what to do when no one is saying, "Mom, would you get me.... Mom, do you think I could have... Mom, can you help me..."

Tomorrow will be much more fun :)

[eaglespirit]

Well, Hungary is right in the heart of the matter over there...right in the middle of the muck. And I agree with what has been shared elsewhere that it is going to be a much more "in your face" impact than Iceland's!
The 'only way out is in'...and in then out it will be, imho. It will be like winding a metal spring so tight back in on itself that it will push out from the other end with a force that shatters the support all over the place(s).

[Ernie Nemeth]

I agree, eaglespirit. Although it has been pointed out that Hungary will have a very rough time of it and the bankers will destroy that country, I say you don't know the hungarian spirit! They are not afraid to stand up and be counted. They know what it is like to suffer tyranny, direct in your face tyranny, not the covert stuff we here can ignore if we so choose. Yup, the cat's out of the bag now (an opening for you cat lover pic crazy ones, hehe).

The drunk on the lawn mower driving along the highway cracked me up. roflmao

Great music, Meeradas, listening now while working on my project.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Hey Meeradas, you know what? Black Sabbath is not very good background music when you're working. Thanks for the lesson!

[meeradas]

Well.. depends on what you're doing in the foreground

[Ernie Nemeth]

Ya, that's true. Not good for precision work with high concentration.

Just found this gem in the Baha'i writings.

The promise of the ability to manifest.


“O My Servant! Obey Me and I shall make thee like unto Myself.
I say ‘Be,’ and it is, and thou shalt say ‘Be,’ and it shall be.”

And the second: “O Son of Adam! Seek fellowship with none until thou hast found Me,
and whenever thou shalt long for Me, thou shalt find Me close to thee.”

What I had written ere this hath been eaten by the flies, so sweet was the ink."
~Baha'u'llah

[jiminii]

we went to the temple yesterday. Climbed the long stairs to the top of the mountains with the dragon tail on each rail of the steps, (very long tail to the top).

I went with the kids of my school. only 2500 on motorbikes going to the temple. we pretty much keep the lane Full of motorbikes all the way. the exercise was good. I just really didn't want to climb that stairway before. But doing it with a bunch of high school kids is not so bad. hahaha

so many rituals here and presentations to officials who will make a speech in some strange language here in Asia. I should learn the language. But the language has all these different sounds. about 4 sounds to each alphabet letter.

then we had to go teach the children how to plant trees.

so Now I finally made it.

I am now a trained farmer

My computer isn't back yet. Still on my phone. Frustrating at times on the forum. Slow loading pages and sometimes the thanks and book marks buttons don't work. Can't wait to get my computer back.

Plus its been freezing up or blinks out. Subtle things I've noticed over the last two weeks.


@eaglespirit just want to let you know I support you on the ORMUS and the sun gazing. Thanks for sharing your
journey.

I started taking ORMUS (gold) and colloidal silver last year also did some sun gazing. Stopped during the summer months. Going to tak it again soon. When I get a chance will watch the David Hudson video.

I'm already pretty sensitive -started slowly then gradually took more.
When I took the ORMUS along with sun gazing, I did it from my porch and didn't drive for a day or two. My physical body didn't exist any more. I was pure energy and so was everything else -off and on for about three days.

I noticed a lot of changes on all levels. Also showed me areas I need to work on more and some of my relationships changed (for the better). Some people don't come around anymore or as often.

Thanks and thank you for the David Hudson video.

While I have been away, I have made some fun changes in my life. I only work part time in the City now and spend more time on my Olive farm.

Madam Ulli,
That is disgusting. Please cancel my subscription immediately!

[1inMany]

Well, we made it through the first day, including evening marching practice which pushed bedtime back. Please, please let it flow. Please, please let it be less stressful than it appears it is going to be. Please, please let the bumps be smoothed and let this work. Please, please let the two crabapple teachers loosen up. Home school is just not my cup of tea. I believe, honestly, it to be better in many respects than public school. But I have had two tastes of it, one with K and one with M. And I simply am not cut of the home school cloth. I can't do it.

And will the voices all talking at once please stfu? Inner, outer, all around. All going at the same time. Shhhhhhhhhh.

Wishing you peace, Village. Much Love,

I've moved on already and was writing a different kind of post:
about how the French Revolution was really the beginning, or the first wave,
of the global awakening...
What we are seeing in pop culture is just part of the preparation for the harvest the Zionists are preparing...
Will we be wheat, or chaff?
Each person must decide for themselves...I believe that is the only power an individual has left- this decision.
That harvester is on it's way, with a technology which us little stalks in this field have no weapons against.

"On the road aginnnn..." headin' off Cape with Purdy the puppy girl to do some work for Family and possibly some for some Friends too, for a couple weeks or so.

I'll be sticking around these parts of New England for a while cuz it helps lighten the load for Tara and the Kiddos...
and am glad I can help and little way I may....and there is carpentry work always appearing and re-appearing : )


A bit of an ormus update...

Most of You at the Village know I'm a kind of 'food for fuel' guy...well I am literally functioning on about 10% / 15% of my usual fuel intake while working, mostly munchies as in nuts and chips and stuff...I was quite surprised myself because I kept at it finishing up that sizable shed I built (I could live in it actually : ).

I don't drink a whole of water but I am finding a want and need to drink good filtered fresh water more...and enjoying it.

This 'other-worldly' feel is with me stronger than ever in a very good way.

I have 'not so good teeth' that bite me back with pain occasionally if I chomp on something the wrong way at the right time...and that happened while eating some nuts to a lower left chewer and I know the pain would have been much, much worse if I did not have the ormus doin' it's thing...for I have done the same thing in the past and could barely tolerate...and I can tolerate.

That subtle intensity is still with me and steady as she goes.

My Tibetan bowl symphony that has always been with me from my solar connection is stronger than ever with some added orchestra players : ) ...it is not interfering at all but actually enhancingly uplifting moreso than ever.

Have a Great Day!

[Ernie Nemeth]

I got stood up at work, had to come home. In the old days I would have not talked to the guy for a few days minimum. But now I do things differently. Waited at home without anger for his call. In the old days I would have forgiven him my time. Now I do things differently. I am going to charge him the waste of my time. ha, so there!

This is great, Ernie.
And it also illustrates there there is no single rule the same for everyone.
For instance, Capricorns like me start out in life unforgiving...never forgetting a slight.
Caps need to practice forgiveness and mercy in a conscious manner.

Whereas Pisceans forgive and forget automatically, and end up being unfair to themselves and being doormats and confused about what to do.
So when a Pisces wakes up he realizes he is just as valuable as anyone else,
and that self sacrifice is not always in the best interest of the whole.
There is such a thing as right and wrong, or there would be no justice.

So the best balance is between justice (Capricorn/Saturn...which is mind, or mathematical precision)
and mercy, (Pisces/Neptune, which is compassion and heart.)
So as always, a question of context.

For a person to come to wholeness and break away from the planetary compulsions
they simply need to try new responses, until they find out what works best for themselves as well as the whole.

[jiminii]

me there is so many changes I practically am teaching students like I'm in some other universe and they are too. hahah
then the breaks I have trouble keeping the body awake.
I get home and the being wants to get on the forum but the body just says .... "sleep ... sleep .... sleep... "

Hahaha, too funny...that happens in Costa Rica al the time...
a lot of the American furniture is too large for our tiny huts.

I only ever buy furniture that I have measured beforehand, and that I can move by myself,
and I only ever buy second hand, and if there are no local auction houses then I use Craigslist.

I was thinking of doing an IKEA warehouse in Costa Rica, bringing in second-hand IKEA
which in Miami's Craigslist sells incredibly cheap...$10 tables, and no import duty on second hand...
if I were younger that is the business I would get into at this time...
as long as there are container ships we might as well fill them with affordable stuff.

You must have a photographic memory to be able to find a chicken that sooo resembles M.C.'s saggy bottom!

TargeT, that happened to me once too and the delivery guys removed a few pins from the fridge and took the door off to get it in the house. It is worth a try my friend!!!

Of to the market now, so have a good day!

Your story reminded me of Keith Moon, the drummer of the Who, who drove a car into the pool of the Holiday Inn they were staying at...apparently the band were billed $50,000 for the little mishap.

Of course Keith did it on purpose....I take it yours was an accident?

There is a story about this lawyer, and he had just bought a brand-new BMW, and as he was parking it outside the office a bus came by and ripped off the door of his car as he was opening it.
And when the cops arrived he was standing there, whining about his car.
So the cop says. "You lawyers are all the same...here you are ...with your left arm ripped off,
and all you can think about is your BMW."
So the lawyer looks at his missing left arm, blood squirting from his shoulder, and he screams
"OMG, my ROLEX!!!"

That's what I was thinking about all afternoon at work(my bike is my transportation to work so the family can have the truck); well that and wishing my wife had video taped it. I was trying to ride up a couple of steps at the front of the pool then turn and ride around, when I went to lift the front wheel up the stairs (via wheely, of course, I had an audience after all!) I got off balance & twisted the throttle which changed the two stairs into a ramp, basically launching the bike (and me) to the half way point of the pool. I was a bit off center (since I meant to ride around, not into the pool.. Lol) so as the bike and I flew through the air (me significantly further) we were along the edge & my momentum carried me to the "kidney" shaped indent that I hit with my right side as I entered the pool mostly head first.

I popped my head out of the water (about 5' deep where I landed) and took off my helmet and tossed it out of the pool, the dug my phone out of my pocket and it followed the helmet. I had to hold my breath and duck under the water to grab the bikes handlebars so I could walk it (under water) the 8 feet or so to the shallow end stairs. When I got to the stairs I realized it was still on so I turned off the key and wrestled it out of the water.

Of course by that time I had the help of the whole family, since my wife laughed/screamed as I flew into the pool, so I walked the bike back down the ramp,,, err "stairs", and parked it in the sun, pulled the battery from my phone and put it in some rice; grabbed a towel (for my truck seat) and drove back to work.

I just test rode the bike and everything works; even if I loose my phone this is just another fun life story at this point (the bike is fine!) :o so I'm sort of wince/laughing at this point... Haha

Damn T, that ain't funny. So sorry I laughed but the picture in my mind made me do it. Hope your wrist is alright, though.

I am now returning to Avalon after a year-long alcohol-induced stupor. Friends can rest easy, my recovery has gone quite well. I spent the year working in a dive bar in my hometown, meeting all sorts of damaged, unhappy people. After contending with much frustration in the realization that most people don't want to hear the truth, I drank a lot of alcohol and moved away from proper shamanism into a very imbalanced state. I ended up killing quite a few heart cells as well with the unclean drugs I was putting in my body. Fortunately, my body is now healthier than it has ever been and I hardly feel inclined to drink liquor or consume any other dissociative type of substance. I am eating almost all raw, organic food with no meat or sugar. I even quit drinking caffeine because I have such a naturally high level of energy now.

I was watching a Dan Winter video the other day and found myself quite moved by his story about the addictive process (monoatomic gold and the Annunaki) and relying on an external source to generate ones own bliss versus becoming the capacity to generate that energy from within. This is very telling of our day-to-day habits. I still stand by something my friend Drunvalo told me about shamanic plants, that they "can accelerate ones spiritual growth immensely beyond the rate of typical incarnation." Shamanism co-exists with the Earth-game in this way, in that it is only allowed in relative obscurity. Those who venture into higher vibrational modes become the heralds of the new dawn for everyone else. If everyone became a herald, hell would break loose.

In other news, I am building a video game with a small team of people who want to change consciousness. Our first project challenges players by allowing them to understand how the process of mental deception works between individuals and masses. We also base our lore off of the ancient history of Sumeria, Egypt, Atlantis, and other civilizations such as the discarnate - much of which was researched through Avalon in some way. The second project is a story about growing up to be a shaman in 1990s California, and coming to learn and participate in the cosmic history of life. We are building a demo of our first game and knocking on doors in Palo Alto, CA for investment capital.

It's great to see so many familiar faces next to all of your wonderful posts. I look forward to participating again in this community with some of my favorite people. Love and blessings to all of you!

So, here's that little guy who made a house call a couple of days ago.

TargeT, your story could either have been tragic or funny - luckily, you came at it with a good attitude and see the humor.

I had a first face-to-face meeting and a very nice day-long visit with one of my Australian cousins and his Japanese wife. She is an artist that went back to school at age 55 to get a Fine Arts degree (I'm not sure why - her art was beautiful and skilled before getting a degree.) Anyway, one of her themes is the harmonious intersection between Japanese and Australian cultures. Take a peek, if you want: https://tamayoleahy.wordpress.com

p.s. Rantaak, Alcohol sets a deep hook - very hard to get off the line and swam away. Kudos to you. Look at your picture! Health!

It is one of my favorite things to do to explore the golf course.

... when my buddy found the “sweet spot” in between the gears and the governor golfcarts have to prevent such idiocy. We started coasting down toward the green:

...which was fun at first, we got some speed. Then more speed. Then the steering started to feel a little loose, a little fishtailing action….I get a little nervous. I look over to buddy, one of the safest drivers I know, generally very cautious and responsible—except for every once while gets an adventurous bug up his ass…well I looked for reassurance that we were under control and I should be enjoying this, even though we were flying down the hill like a bat outa hell, quickly approaching the pair who’d started down before us.
...
Instead of calm concentration focused on avoiding the cart we seem to be about to smash into, I see he is looking at me, wide eyed, sheer terror. Uh oh. I brace myself, body going rigid, clinging to inside of cart, pushing my feet against ground as hard as I can, bracing myself. He slams the brake, the thing whips 90 degrees, with the passenger side (which I am on) facing the bottom of the hill. The thing flips toward my side….

…I remain in the cart, the roof narrowly missing my head slamming into the concrete ...

5 years later, my dog pees right around the spot he wasn’t allowed near before, goes and sniffs at the sinkhole where a drainage pipe burst, and chases a bunny down the gricklegrass where the next fairway used to be…
Enjoyed your story Donk. Wish we were still made out of rubber, like when we were kids, when we're having fun and being a kid again.

what's weird about this is that just last week I saw a cockroach nibbling on my tooth brush....yuck
this was the first time it happened, but now I realize they have probably done this hundreds of times without my knowing.
So now Im keeping the brush inside a container.

That lawyer joke/story exactly fits Henri Bergson’s definition of “something mechanical encrusted on the living”, in Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of Comic.




A man, running along the street, stumbles and falls; the passers-by burst out laughing. They would not laugh at him, I imagine, could they suppose that the whim had suddenly seized him to sit down on the ground. They laugh because his sitting down is involuntary.

Consequently, it is not his sudden change of attitude that raises a laugh, but rather the involuntary element in this change,--his clumsiness, in fact. Perhaps there was a stone on the road. He should have altered his pace or avoided the obstacle. Instead of that, through lack of elasticity, through absentmindedness and a kind of physical obstinacy, AS A RESULT, IN FACT, OF RIGIDITY OR OF MOMENTUM, the muscles continued to perform the same movement when the circumstances of the case called for something else. That is the reason of the man’s fall, and also of the people’s laughter.

Now, take the case of a person who attends to the petty occupations of his everyday life with mathematical precision. The objects around him, however, have all been tampered with by a mischievous wag, the result being that when he dips his pen into the inkstand he draws it out all covered with mud, when he fancies he is sitting down on a solid chair he finds himself sprawling on the floor, in a word his actions are all topsy-turvy or mere beating the air, while in every case the effect is invariably one of momentum. Habit has given the impulse: what was wanted was to check the movement or deflect it. He did nothing of the sort, but continued like a machine in the same straight line. The victim, then, of a practical joke is in a position similar to that of a runner who falls,--he is comic for the same reason. The laughable element in both cases consists of a certain MECHANICAL INELASTICITY, just where one would expect to find the wide-awake adaptability and the living pliableness of a human being. The only difference in the two cases is that the former happened of itself, whilst the latter was obtained artificially. In the first instance, the passer-by does nothing but look on, but in the second the mischievous wag intervenes.

Me not zen? There must be some mistake. Let’s try and inject some esthetics into this sorry affair :)

Edgar Degas used to like painting horses, and also whoreses in contorted poses. He combined these two interests in one drawing, a rear view of a woman bent forwards wiping her feet, and shaded in such a way as to resemble a mare.



22568

Dubious art hinting at female bestiality, certainly yes. But Degas eventually cleans up his act. His women become prettier, with no moral stigma attached, and eventually the most contorted poses of all become entirely natural, especially in his finest pastel, Woman at Her Toilette, Drying Her Left Foot.

I feel great about shamanism now ;)... Dragons need strong backbones. A schizophrenic is what we call someone when their backbone breaks against the strain of perception. My third eye is still only dimly lit with the occasional flash of light before falling asleep, but with each passing journey I take the crystal within my mind reinforces its structure and tunes deeper into the resonance of the etheric higher realms. I remember what it was like to see brightly, into and out of time. The dreams are also becoming more powerful with each passing day - I am starting to reawaken to the powers I have in those strange but familiar worlds I visit with strange and familiar people. And fortunately my INT has caught up with my WIS and I no longer fail my sanity checks.

I love what you said here about perception...the 'strain' of perception.
I believe perception is everything, in the end,
and about straining us? ...
yeah, even the good things, when perceived consciously, can become a strain...
which then leads us to the next perception, and so on....


This morning I went back over the Wingmakers philosophies...reading here:

http://www.wanttoknow.info/wingmakers#gratitude


This passage, in particular, struck a cord:

Time is the primary factor that distorts the otherwise clear connection between the individual and the Divine.
Time establishes separation of experience.
This creates doubt in the Divine's system of fairness and overarching purpose.
This doubt, in turn, creates fear that the universe is not a mirror but rather a chaotic, whimsical energy.

Time intervenes to create pockets of despair, hopelessness, and abandonment. However, it is these very "pockets" that often motivate awakening the sacred intentions of your soul, as they cause you to seek a more intimate and harmonious relationship with the Divine.

Curious to hear from Dan on his take ...

The "good stuff" is now now now hitting the fan ... yet here in the illusionary 3d material world ... the "bad stuff" is too ...

Theory goes the material world is the last to change ... getting down to crunch time (on several fronts).

Yes, going through the revolving door of enlightenment. One of my favorites. Going down to the mud is the fun part; the delicious mischievous smile on the way down. (but in that process, to 'not be evil', to remain true to self, to not damage others) The pain of crawling out of it. To re-focus and re-center. You can't build anew until the old is burned down. To be one, but the new, the different, the changed, the parallax view, through remembrance, that brings the understanding, the new.

Time is the primary factor that distorts the otherwise clear connection between the individual and the Divine.
Time establishes separation of experience.
This creates doubt in the Divine's system of fairness and overarching purpose.
This doubt, in turn, creates fear that the universe is not a mirror but rather a chaotic, whimsical energy.

Time intervenes to create pockets of despair, hopelessness, and abandonment. However, it is these very "pockets" that often motivate awakening the sacred intentions of your soul, as they cause you to seek a more intimate and harmonious relationship with the Divine.

Everything is fine here. Good even. So why have I been struggling so? This is just a part of this life, the part I don't care for. I know exactly what drove me to brain altering medicine. I do. Because what is the alternative? Lying around, having no motivation, crying for (apparently) no reason, feeling blah. There are natural things I could take, everybody and their brother takes a particular vitamin or a specific herb for feeling this way. There are so many, in fact, that I think about them and give up, because I don't want to take a handful of anything several times a day. I wanted to be free of all pill-taking, that's why I stopped the meds.

I much prefer the me that is a go-getter, the rebel, the person who won't accept no for an answer, the mover and the shaker. The me that defends the innocents, that can get out of bed and is positive thinking, the me that hums in the grocery store.

I know, this too shall pass...probably. Maybe all this isn't mine. Maybe the recent losses of others get to me. Maybe there is some invisible force somewhere set on dampening the lights of those who are making progress. I just get tired of fighting all that. I even get tired of thinking about all that. Why can't it just not be like this any more?

[donk]

Here & now I need your love, your positivity, your light...directed at my son, in hopes of preventing from further allowing himself to be consumed by the darkness he is lost in.

His gramma damaged him worst than I feared, he is acting like her, like his mother, choosing to self destruct & take as many down with him as he can, because his reality is not exactly as he wishes.

When I was discussing with ness, telling her that she (& therefore WE) needs to dig up our sh!t, deal with it, heal ourselves more than even we have been lately, so that we may be able to do the same with him, to help him back to a place of love. Help him heal from his loss...when I told her that she jumped and covered my forehead wide-eyed.

"What's wrong?", I ask. "You have a third eye, right there" pointing at my forehead. "You still see it?" She covers it with her hand: "yes". "Is it a good thing, why are you covering it?" She replies, "sure, but I wasn't expecting to see it...it's not easy seeing the things I do, even if they're good"

I'm so sad. These people forgetting we are family (throw ness' ex in there, a load of his crap to deal with at same time), they dont even recognize how much their selfishness is hurting themselves, let alone realize (or care) that they are attacking my family with their projections and their selfishness.

Please shine a bright loving light on Adrian, and his grandmother. Blast them with awareness that we are all one, that fear and attachment are not the right places to come from. Help them know their (your/our) unconditional love. Thanks

By the way, I didnt feel a damn thing when this happened. Not even the tingle I felt when I wrote it, which I have come to identify as my guardian/higher self. I'm doing something right, but not enough...I'm still jammed up.

Kinda disappointing, I thought my third eye opening would give me more clarity and sensitivity.

Weird synchronicities abound, ness just told me to say her mom called her cuz she felt something was wrong...

Yes, going through the revolving door of enlightenment. One of my favorites. Going down to the mud is the fun part; the delicious mischievous smile on the way down. (but in that process, to 'not be evil', to remain true to self, to not damage others) The pain of crawling out of it. To re-focus and re-center. You can't build anew until the old is burned down.

Reminded again of that book The Dice Man. Too much vision, too many options, what to do then? So the guy says if I throw a double six I will do such and such, and keeps pushing the adventure level higher and higher. And the more he does that, and then commits to fulfilling his promise to himself, to act on it, the more he throws the double six. Every time.
One more idea from Wingmakers: humanity was, until now, in survivor mode. With the new paradigm this now transforms to explorer mode....

Exploring is so much more fun than merely surviving. The discovery of the soul and eternity means ending that desperate survival struggle....

Just a thought, Do you think that her seeing your third eye could represent HER awakening?? Most people never see it coming!! :) She said: "it's not easy seeing the things I do, even if they're good"

I will blast them both!! :) And you too!! Nothing but love!!

While you are disgruntled with the reality escape of others you are failing to see that you yourself are not yet accepting your reality.
Recognizing that you are powerless over others is one of the first steps.
Putting all your issues in the hands of the universe, with trust, works wonders.
Once you acquiesce you will feel more relaxed, and then the people around you might also settle down a bit more.
Only in that state of relaxation can the energy flow in harmony.

Dice that loaded kind of defeats the purpose of the exercise. Like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded (or empty) gun. If it is more than just a fictional device, what is it? A form of synchronicity perhaps?

Having observed my own sub-conscious popping up the strangest happenings,
and later been able to see the connection with my inner dialogues I would say there is no such thing as loaded dice.

Just like when throwing the coins when doing an I Ching reading, or shuffling a deck of Tarot cards,
there is this deep hidden genie that wants to come out, and it either takes the form of the Fairy Godmother,
or the Incredible Hulk, or whatever hidden archetype a person's karma might need to satisfy their hunger for fresh experiences.

A glitch in the matrix or not enough chemtrails?

While driving down the mountain today a mid-size passenger plane flying low from the North cut and banked in front of me doing almost a nose dive into the median. . I reacted taking my foot off of the gas pedal and ducking down waiting for impact. To my astonishment it disappeared. My passenger asked me what in the h... are you doing? I said did you see that plane it almost crashed into the freeway. They asked what plane? There isn't any plane. Still driving slowly I looked around for it -nothing. I collected myself enough to drive into the crazy city with my friend looking at me as if I was nuts.

I'm back on the mountain watching the thunder clouds roll by.

I was at the store having a lottery ticket checked, and said 'look this up in the losers file'. they gave me a funny look. I said, '99% of the folks who play don't win, so why do they call the thing the 'winner's file'? (numbers that are drawn). Should be called the 'sucks to be you' file, I said. Which got the intended chuckle from the person. I decided to have the numbers played again, a first, for me. First time ever, for them -- they would not play. The machine would not allow it. I got the hint and said, 'draw a random set, then'.

Then for some reason I decided to pay cash, not debt. I pulled the money out of my wallet, and said 'it does not want to leave my wallet, like a 3-4 year old being removed from a toy store. screaming and fighting the whole way.' Which got a giggle from them.

Then I said, 'when this happens to a person..and their kid... and it happens almost all the time at big toy stores..what about simply...going back in again, right away? Then walk right to the exit and...double down? Then do it again? Hhmmm..is that considered cruelty, or trying to get a kid to balance themselves out?"

I always say a firm no to any request at the store & only ever give rewards after work is done; works remarkably well & we get complements on how well behaved our kids are all the time.... Of course in the Caribbean child rearing is handled much differently so it's easy to look like you have your stuff together



Update on my aquatic motorcycle adventure: phone is a brick; bike worked great on my commute to work & my helmet was still pretty wet which worked like a swamp cooler above 25mph... Maybe I'll start spraying it down just to stay cool!

If you leave your phone out in the sun it will start working again after three days.

[Carmody]

Alright,...a new urban myth. Do you stand in front of the phone after three days and say 'phoneman, phoneman, phoneman'?* :P

curtsy, pirouette, or dead chicken, or all three?

(he should take the phone apart immediately and blast all the boards and panel, keyboard, etc, with compressed air. Then it will work in less than a day. with no oxidation, to boot.)

Might take longer than three days, and might help if one can open it up as much as possible. Also give it a good shake or two each day.

The goal is to get the moisture out, which can hide in the crevices and short out electrical circuits.

If you have some sort of oven or better yet dehydrator that can be left on a nice gentle toasty temperature for a few hours, that can speed things up (or fry things, if too hot.)

(aha - compressed air helps too - thanks Carmody)

Yeah, I'm the guy who could take the phone apart in 10-30 seconds, while standing on the street corner, speaking to someone and watching traffic. I have a a well developed affinity for such things as electronics. I understand that waiting three days may also work, and may even have a fairly decent success rate. But... that there are more effective ways..

Hi Henry,

Welcome to Project Avalon and the Village.

Thanks for your concern.

These types of things are common in my life and I sometimes write about them here and now.

Sorry if it upset you in any way.

I can assure you that it's not a premonition. As unnerving as it was -more of a confirmation that something I've been working on and others is on the right track. Just finished up with about 2 years worth of work.

Tried pulling it partially apart & putting it In a bag of rice for a day then moved the bag into the fridge to sit for another day, tried to turn it on today with no luck.... My pool filter isn't working right so there is a lot of build up on my bike and helmet... I'm sure this is preventing my pocket computers return from the dead.... I had insurance though, so just a few green pieces of paper and I'm back in business

[heretogrow]

Donk,
My heart goes out to you, it is hard when our kids become influenced by others. I had to put my son through rehab, twice, after he left our home and stayed with a girlfriend whose mom gave him morphine for his headaches. I save gave, but actually she made him pay a very high price, not only with money but with his life force and will to live after he was hooked. Glad to say rehab helped or he just grew up in his own good time and is now a loving father and husband. Time heals. Expectations set one up for failure of success.

TargeT- I know the phone is a big deal buddy but I was more worried about your wrist and your bike. So glad you are ok.

Nora- I have similar visions and don't know how to make them stop. I have not found any explanation and have learned to simply ask, did you see that, when it happens. When they say no I just pretend I am special.

And here and now I have been very heavy hearted about my 90 year old grandma who was diagnosed with cancer last week. Now she is afraid to die and has decided to take radiation and chemo 5 days a week for 5 weeks. I was so proud of her when she found out and said she would just live out the rest of her life and be happy. I am sooo concerned with this so called treatment. She is a frail woman and can barely take Tylenol.

In expressing my concerns, I come to find that my aunt that she lives with has a bottle of Jim Hubble's MMS.I tell her that is wonderful. That is a start... only to find out she believes that it would be morally wrong not to recommend the treatment the doctor has suggested. I am thinking, my grandma is 90. She does not all of her little body radiated and chemoed! She needs a healthy alternative way to heal and to live out the rest of her life without suffering.

But who am I to say. It is not me who has been given this death sentence. Although I love her to death! My ideas and suggestions today.. NO DICE!

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

This is an oddball news item."Strange Momument Mysteriously Shows Up In Front of Restaurant." Funny, the news coverage never asks who the person named and given fealty of greater Oklahoma City is, nor what Creer Pipi is. Nor does it mention H.P. Lovecraft.

http://kfor.com/2013/08/26/strange-monument-mysteriously-shows-up-in-front-of-paseo-area-restaurant/

I looked the area up on GoogleEarth, and learned that Oklahoma City does lie on the conjunction of three ley lines.

'Créer pipi' is French for to create pee, so it must be some kind of piss artist needing somewhere to relieve himself on the way home. What is this about a Lovecraft connection?

“It says ‘In the year of our lord 2012 Creer Pipi claimed this land for azathoth,” Rawlinson said. “It’s kind of a problem that we’re stuck with, a very heavy problem.”
Thanks Reilly. I suppose it'd help if I'd read some Lovecraft :) Nice name that.

Man.. I gotta watch that movie again... great clip... haha

One of the best 80's movies, or best movies ever. Me and Erin, (mee wife) watch it over and over. We have about 10 movies that we watch over and over.. can't get enough of Caddyshack.

I was watching a documentary about the movie and in one of the interviews with the director (Egon from Ghostbusters) and he said that the Bill Murray Character did not have any speaking lines. But you can't get Bill Murray and Chevy Chase together without there being some magic. (Even though they were not on speaking terms,, they were still able to make comedy magic, without ever rehearsing.)

You are not going to believe it...this is what is going on Here and Now on our bridge in Orosi.
After more delays finally everything is ready.
The community is desperate....and there are already cars waiting to cross.

But the chief engineer is not getting the go ahead because the signs which state the maximum height (and weight) of vehicles permitted to cross the bridge aren't ready yet.
The minister of transport is getting bombarded with calls from the engineer but will not concede...
so now people at the bridge are scrambling all over, looking for the old rusty signs ....

[ulli]

OMG!!!!!!!!
The bridge is OPEN!!!!!!

Going to Orosi NOW!
The first person to cross was my 85 year old father-in-law...it could not have been a more deserving person.

Well Village Folks...

Into the 12th day of my ormus gram and a half 'go for it' journey, I thought for sure there would be a surge in my need for food fuel after today...but it continues to be that I am sustained.

I dismantled and removed 60 feet of second-floor-height deck rail and carried it down the stairs and quite a ways into the back yard for stacking and I felt this would induce some hunger...but it did not.

The last couple of days I have had 2 bananas and 2 graham crackers and some leftover grilled onions from an evening dinner here at my Brother's and have been drinking water and some coffee(less than usual) and some seltzer. I am smoking my pipe tobacco a bit less too.

Definitely some re-arrangements going on in and to my system of sustainment...I'll keep sharing as I go.

Covering this back deck with a new roofline will take substantial energy...we'll see how it goes.

.......

Glad to hear Your 'rainbow bridge' is now open , Ulli : )

Nice Synchronicity, Nora : ) Enjoy!

My Friend Kevin (Bear), lives 30 minutes from where I am now and had planned a Sweat Lodge for Saturday and I will be joining in...
I was not aware of his intentions nor did he know I would be this way. So that is a nice 'bonus' for me on this working trip off Cape : )

Well, it’s a funny man’s take on the perhaps not so funny time warp of national stereotypes. I mentioned only the other day in a serious context how Germans have changed since World War II. And of course the French reputation for shirking a fight was an improvement on previous form notably in Napoleonic times.

However, on the same page, this caught my eye:

A “genius” is someone who can count to twenty :)

This is known technically as a “snowball”, or sometimes a pyramid, because like a triangular number in mathematics, it can be written to form a triangle. And of course pyramids can be inverted. A more sophisticated version uses the same letters each time. Hence you have a “transdeletion chain” (which can be turned upside down to form a “transaddition chain”. Here are two examples using some interesting vocabulary (not my own work):



ANTICEREMONIALIST

Hi, villagers :)

Hi Gekko. Nice to see you. Would you mind defining "it"...
You have me curious now.

[Gekko]

I suddenly gained a bit of clarity. Unfortunately I think it is temporary and it is beginning to wear off. But thought I would stick my head in before I fall asleep again... if that's really what's happening here.

[PurpleLama]

Gekko, what a nice surprise.

[PurpleLama]

Sometimes we find our wakefulness here and now, sometimes we just share it.

[Gekko]

This really is a matrix.

And faith, trust are the answers it seems...

[Carmody]

This really is a matrix.

And faith, trust are the answers it seems...

Faith and trust, but only in the act of considering that the water of reality can hold your body afloat. To not panic, to not splash and flail about, thoughtlessly.

Then, take the time to learn to swim.

Then, to find a place to swim to.

Then, to question the whole process.

First... to have faith and trust in the concept of the protrusion of emergent awareness, in order to ...begin.

The original "WTF? I AM" moment. But nothing more.

The rest is up to you.

[Gekko]

It's like I disconnected from the emotions and they are no longer controlling me. They are still there and harping, I can feel them... but they don't have quite the same power over decisions.

Everything is the same and yet it isn't.

Everything is the same and yet it isn't.

That is exactly how it works, and the only way it CAN work.
But most people are terrified of the emotionless state, so they seek experiences that will put them back on an emotional roller coaster. Then one day, they get to a point when they can see the uselessness of it.

Sorry, what I mean is, some emotions are useful, such as the love for higher realities,
which can keep us striving, like plants towards the sun light.
But the vast majority of emotions, such as fear, anger, hatred, self pity, despair....all totally useless.

[Gekko]

Might it be a case of there still being emotions, enjoying them, or utilizing them, but just not being controlled by them anymore?

The city busses swimming past
I'm happy just because
I found out I am really no one

I was deeply processed through the mental health facilities in my late teens. Who knows what could have happened on a subconscious level in that time.

There are several schools of thought about this. Many people here believe that there must be a cleansing, or clearing....sometimes going back many lives.
My personal opinion is that yes, to a degree. .....
some traumas keep coming back to haunt us, but they can be cleared slowly, through dreams, through life taking care of it.
Nature's way is slow, and rhythmic.
What should be done with more intensity is find your true purpose... and work on one's self definition.
Then comes money, stuff one needs, like car, home, life style. Then comes self expression....
Then comes return to one's roots....learn about your parents and grand parents history.
Then take a break and let loose and have a fun vacation. All these things are added to the soup of life gradually, like ingredients.
Anyway, that's enough advice for one day.
Plus you are free to ignore it...no problem.

My first awakening of sorts was at 16. Very frenetic.

Up, down, up, down, up, down.

Eventually I ended in a state hospital at 18. I might have stayed there for the rest of my life if it weren't for meeting someone else... who was also struggling, but we ignited something in each other.

Eventually I got caught up and fell back down... I think I have a good idea of who or what is pulling on me the most.

For a while I was convinced that I didn't have a soul. Fortunately I was able to make it through and consider the possibly that I might just be trapped.

The jury's still out.

Freedom is not caring so much anymore.


Then, to question the whole process. ^ You are here, your given dot on this little map, as it currently exists for you, which will change and shift about, it will get complex then simple then complex..then...ugh.

This reminds me of Gestalt Fritz Perl's "Continuum of Awareness" -death layers and life layers. Death of the ego and blending of the Life layers of the human being; where the Spirit and Soul are a harmonious whole.

Be good to your-self Gekko and have a beautiful day. Thanks for sharing your journey.

a flower for you

I was deeply processed through the mental health facilities in my late teens. Who knows what could have happened on a subconscious level in that time.

This is an expression of freedom, from the courage and honesty it takes to accept and share this.

Take it to the next level, own only what you are truly responsible for, learn from it, and let go of the rest.

Forgive yourself. Forgive those that caused you fear, pain. When you can do that, you will truly know freedom


Just wanted to say I'm proud of you.
Although that might be construed in myriad ways as if I had anything to do with what you have become.
The Village did some tweaking, no doubt, but that Ranch you visited has done wonders.

Gosh, I been blushing all week! Thanks for the kind words.

Well, James (Jana, Calia, my higher self, et al) helped hammer home this message (among the many other wonders at the ranch), which you personally—and the village generally—have been reminding me repeatedly since Eram (then wakytweaky) pointed me this way.

The village pulled me out of the abyss (Houman’s Horus-Ra thread) that I was staring into for too long. I gained so much knowledge there, my first prolonged stop upon entry of Avalon—but the abyss was staring back at me. The village is a necessary counterbalance, you can face your fears and learn about the dark, and pop on over here into the light....your light in particular ulli has been a huge a part of who I’ve become, I can’t begin to express my appreciation…to all the villagers as well.

What I learned of energy and healing this summer at the ranch allowed me to actually feel the blast of love I requested, that you wonderful beings provide so lovingly. I just wanna say to all the lurkers, the shy folks, the guests…to reap the full benefit this space, this family, this entity has offer…you gotta make that leap and put yourself out there (here…….now!).

Cuz ulli’s words are true: you are safe, you are protected, no harm can come to you here…as are mine: if you put any of your darkness out in this light—it will be cleansed, and you can be transformed, instant growth, constant healing. And if you have no darkness (in or for this particular here & now), bring some of your light into the village, where it can be appreciated, you can explore your potential. It think you’ll be glad you did…

Love to all!!

Our 'opposites' want this as much as we do, and I think they might even support us in very subtle ways. I think Jiminii said something to this effect............

My 'knowing' has been spiked yet I know this is just the beginning, given the emotional and physical state of my body. It acts kind of like interference, white noise. Yet now there is a stronger awareness of choice between where to go, what to do, what to listen to, what to read, what to avoid.

Clear, unclear, hmm...

Considering that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this dilemma should never have come up.
Peace should have been the only option.
Costa Rica's former president Dr. Oscar Arias, who also won the NPP, for standing up against Reagan during the eighties when he refused the US permission to build air strips near the Nicaraguan border should now become Obama's chief advisor.

I hate getting paid before the job's done. It's not usually a good idea. The one exception is possibly tipping hotel staff on checking in rather than waiting to check out (my Dad used to do that). But then we know that Obama is someone's lackey.

I love waterfalls. Always have. For a long time, I had a sacred space that was enclosed in a giant snowglobe and it was a clear waterfall that washed everything away but peace.

I once climbed Dunn's River Falls. There were not quite as many people when I went, but looked something like this:

http://www.wondermondo.com/Images/NAmerica/LesserAntilles/Jamaica/DunnsFallsSea.jpg

It is much more daunting when standing at the bottom and looking up...and hearing the roar of the falls. But, so beautiful.

I will be there today. Okay, I won't physically, as much as I would like. I will be there in spirit...join me if you'd like :)

Lets just say he 'was' someone's lackey...until now. Change of heart can come at any moment, and go in either of two directions.
There is a good guy in each and everyone of us, and when that good guy wants to come out, despite the gun being pointed at his and his family's head, the intent will then bring forth spirit beings who will give support, from either the higher or lower dimensions.
If we can blast Obama with the kind of energy that will remind him of his initial soul contract, then he will also be given the means to find special presidential loop holes, the courage to utilize them, and effective protection for his family.

Well, hello everyone. I feel violated. I also feel that our little foray into the enemies camp has scared them. They wanted feedback into who was hurt and attacked in the private section thread. They wanted to know what our next move is. That's what I think.

And just when I had posted some pretty witty stuff too. Nasty physchopaths, messing with my posts. Now I'm pissed. Not a good idea. I'll just redouble my efforts to bring them done.

We got them on the run! They seemed to have over-responded only because we have not had any feedback on how effective we had been. This is our proof. We got them good. They did not over-respond, they got walloped and they retaliated.

Anyways, may they all take a long walk on a short pier built over shark infested waters with fresh wounds. ha, so there.

Here is a post by Paul, which is worth considering. Good logic there, Paul.
I think Avalon should just carry on without missing a beat...

Each individual when taking a step forward will encounter tests to their resolve,
its just part of universal law in action...
So equally, the body or being that is Avalon, has recently made some strides, under Bill's direction
and naturally encountered a hurdle.
This does not mean that we should all go into fear mode now.

Need to get this off my mind so I can sleep.

Earlier today I was cornered by an aggressive dog while taking a walk. I tried to be zen-like about it, which was an incorrect response and I internalized it. Now I realize there is a difference between a spiteful clash of personalities, and the staunch fierceness needed to stand one's ground in the face of intimidation.

It's important I get the little things right.

Good morning :)

Woke to one helluva thunderstorm about 5am. Love it! It hasn't rained in so long. Everything is dead and brown around here. End of the cycle for many living things. The rain barrels are more than likely refilled, and the booming thunder is more soothing than a massage. Well, maybe. It has been so long since I had one the memory is fading, haha. I have been asking around in town, and there are multiple places to get one, but these people have funky energy. I'm a little pickier than I used to be.

It is harder than ever to stay anchored in the Here and Now while war is looming, I find.
Is my mind paying tricks on me?
Yet the smallest effort to become present is instantly rewarded.
Suddenly I can hear nature's noises, river, bird song,
and now that the bridge is open again I can hear cars on the road above.

I had a dream this morning, I was in Knightsbridge, London, and was telling someone how I once had lived there, and often when shopping in Peter Jones I would see at least a dozen women wearing my clothes then, and now I don't know what is going on.
And this person made a derogatory remark about how unsophisticated and old fashioned everything was back then and I said at least then there was a lot less crime.

So Im now trying to figure out what the dream meant.
It has something to do with aging, and escaping into memories of the "good old days"
just as the older people were doing long ago when I was still young,
and they felt out of place with the material progress around them. I used to think of them as whiners.

Much Love,

Massage is important, but still more important is getting someone who has healing hands. I had three masseuses in a row, none knew one another, different countries even....and all were born on November 22. So I was guided to a certain energy type...the last degree of Scorpio.
Scorpios are highly professional people, and will always do their best. And even those who have no self knowledge will give you high level energy, as it is your being who attracted the energy, and they are just doing their job. So, trust that you have spirit protection, do a little investigating online, make a few phone calls and ask good questions, then pick your salon.
You might be surprised at the outcome. There are no coincidences.

Here and Now

Tingling continues in the nether regions. Similar sensation in hands, but with a slightly different quality than felt before... coming and going, sometimes resounding like a continuous, loud hum. Queasiness in stomach. The silver keys of my keyboard have a slightly sticky feel from the muggy air in my room. Blue light emanates from the backlit keys. Sitting on the table to my left are earplugs that I use to help me sleep. The window is open, and the constant hum of crickets filters in to mingle with the humming noises of my computer and my fan. A slight breeze from the fan wraps over my arms.

Yes, now is the meeting point.
