New experience. I have been travelling 400 km everyday and i have enough. So tonight i got Mini Flash to a friend and rented a room in ta cloister. Had diner there by myself. Went tovrhe chapel to relax and try to meditate ( meditation is not my forte). Then the nun all came to pray and sing. It was really beautiful. The place is incredibly peaceful. Energies are high I think i will subscribe once a week.

New Keyboard, and it's going to take some getting used to.

A rescued keyboard.

One covered in gunk that took three hours to break down, scrub brush each part, wash, rinse, rinse with de-mineralized water ...then compressed air to dry all the parts off, then careful re-assembly. Then test.... works perfectly.

I'd not of bothered... but it was a mint shape $100 illuminated keyboard. The things that folks throw out. tsk-tsk.

Hi Yukondiva. Things are shifting, that's for sure. As for the changing seasons, I am uncomfortable with the rather abrupt way the summer ended; to call it the fall is a bit of an understatement - more like the collapse :) We are not going to use the word in the biblical sense, au contraire, we are talking about the Rise.

Thanks for the info on John Frum. Cargo cult...that's what this is called- I remember now.
A couple of thoughts entered when I saw the name of the place is Vanautu. That's where we see the strongest earthquake activity of the Ring Of Fire. Could that be the reason for their desperate need for religion? Or are they causing it? Or is John Frum doing it from beyond his grave? All sorts of questions...maybe not worth persuing though.

So I don't know how this happened, but I came across some more ridiculous questioning here (yahoo answers)
And I must say, I got an amusing read from not only the question asked, but also the answers provided.

There is an American art collector who built his mansion as a replica of a Paris town house and imported 18th century parquet flooring salvaged from a château. He insisted that it had to squeak.

Eaglespirits who live in a jungle are accustomed to all sorts of jungle noises, squeaks being the least of them.

And about the other flooring...
Of course it squeaks. It is in the South of France. Are there ANY houses in France where the floors don't squeak?
For those who want to relocate because they can't stand it...
In Costa Rica all floors are tiled, or hardened mud, or cement. Squeaking is no issue here.
There are other issues instead...like ants and spiders and even snakes.

I really detest squeaky floors. Drive me batty, they do.

OTOH, this is what helped my brother and I to develop our silent walk, as every step we took, in our youth, was contested by the very floor we walked on. We are known to be fairly undetectable, in our usual unconscious 'normal' walking pattern.

Must be the French blood. Got away from France in the 1700's... but the floor followed us.

Most French homes are tiled floors, at least on the ground floor. I can only make ours squeak when I have to put the brakes on hard.

Growing up, we didn't have squeaky floors, but what's sticks in my memory are my father's knees. You could always hear him coming because his knees would pop wherever he walked. If you heard the knees popping that meant, shut up, be quiet, and play like you were asleep or you'd get the switch. It was a great early detection warning system that worked against him.

This is were I was yesterday. It was soooo funny. They are contemplative nuns, meaning they pray all the time and keep silent. They never speak. But they do sing to God for example.

Well, 2 are supposed to speak when there is people from the outside world like me. So one nun got me around, explained to me how things work, etc.

But, when I arrived, another nun had seen me and was waiting for me in the parlor and spoke to me telling me she had seen me and that she will call Mère supérieure, then mère supérieure came and explained the routine (my stairs, separated from the nuns, my place to eat, the hours, etc). Then, as I was eating, another nun came to offer me peaches and profited of the occasion to speak. I went to the chaptel to meditate, it was very quiet. Then the nun came and sang beautifully. When the prayers were finished, I took the elevator up and a nun quickly slid in and when the door were closed, talked to me about the place, the weather, etc. This morning, an old nun talked to me telling me you are the guest aren't you, while nobody else was around.

Hi hi hi, they were on average all excited to talk. I feel like I have delighfully corrupted them.

They were very nice altogether, and the place so quiet and re-energizing! I susbcribed there for Monday nights sleeping if I can find someone to stay with Mini Flash at home, so that I would avoid driving.

I received my new laptop today, I had been without for a while, so I am presently dowloading all the software I usually use.

Have a good night everyone.

Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world. - Voltaire

[gripreaper]

Today I got pulled over for expired tabs. My tabs have been expired since last December. I've been stopped before, gone to court, presented the USC codes in regards to "vehicles in commerce" along with the Supreme Court Cases which clearly give us the right to travel without the states imposing a privilege on us. I've been fined and lost my cases.

When asked for my drivers license, I presented the officer with my notarized declaration and he said "oh, so you are one of those" to which I replied, NO I am not. I am traveling, not driving. He did threaten me, that if I did not present a drivers license that I was going to jail, so I handed it to him exclaiming I was doing so under duress. I then showed him on the application for registration where it clearly states that registration is required for motor vehicles, with the subsequent penalty of $6000 dollars or a year in jail for making false statements. I showed him the definition of "motor vehicle" under UCC. I then told him I have sent requests to the DMV for my MCO title, and clarification (with green card and mail certification). He finally began to calm down and surprisingly, no ticket.

He did say that the state statutes define motorized vehicle as any conveyance with a motor, and that I am risking my auto being impounded, myself thrown in jail, and until the states take back the power from the Fed then it may be best if I just go get the tabs.

I then said, I agree the states need to stand up and take their power back, to which he agreed. I then asked him, when do you think this will happen? He said, when there is a collapse. I said, well, I don't think we are too far off. He smiled, handed me back my license and said, have a nice day.

So, I'm inclined to go get the tabs, and put this fight behind me for now. I think my guides are trying to tell me that I am going to need to be able to move about freely in the near future, and this is not the time to take this on. I'm getting a strong sense that this was a warning to get ready.

[araucaria]

Singing nuns remind me of this sixties number which personally makes me cringe, so please feel free, like me, to enjoy a moment’s silence instead :)

UHhyyRByuJ0



The occasional letting up of an activity is a real boost to that activity. Athletes training sprint in short bursts and walk for a while between bursts. A power drill can only go through concrete through a hammer action equivalent to a back and forward swing between blows. So Flash’s nuns are keen talkers to enhance their silent moments and gripreaper is letting up his driving license campaign. It’s all good, not weakness or cheating or anything like that.

Astrid’s drips and ticking clocks also fit this pattern, although irksomely. Like snoring, you get no benefit from the pause, which is spent waiting for the next occurrence. Personally though, I find a ticking clock rather soothing. It reminds me of quiet moments as a child at my aunts’, which were a welcome change of rhythm from the hectic life at home.

"DomOnique"??? Is it a joke or a misspelling?

Anyway my mother went to a monastery school in Marseille (that is she went to school in a nunnery) and back in 63 i was living with her for 1 year in Stockholm and this song was all over the place, makes me think of her, half French half Swede so i'm a quarter and a singer.

Have been singing a lot of medieval music in old French f.i. and feel i have had incarnations in France and one confirmed at the time of Nostradamus.

Back to Sept 11 2001: After watching the airplanes crashing into the Twin Towers I shut off the TV at midnight and opened "The Prophecies of Nostradamus" for the first time (got it on my birthday in 1983)

The sixth centuria verse 97 (labelled: Around 2000 and the 2:nd Antichrist) says:

On the 45:th latitude the sky is burning
and approaches the New City soon;
hughe scattered fire explodes
only then the the Normans get started.....:shocked:

There are 2 interpretations: 2 French wars and "Bombing of New York" (Cheetham) I don't see what the "Normans" have to do with the US but anyway.....

Next morning my TV was dead and i put it in the attick only to take it down to watch The Eurovision Songcontest lying in bed with an influenza coinciding with the US attacking Iraq where i could see "the sky burning" from my bed....

What if we meditate for a collective raise in consciousness to calm down the Syrian conflict........I also just started reading "The Synchronicity Key" by David Wilcock.

Modern Normans are a placid lot: the proverbial answer you get from a Norman is 'Maybe yes, maybe no'.

Here's a funny sync about the Statue of Liberty :

The Secret Architecture of France’s Capital

I am not sure if there are any readers of David Ovason’s book The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital on the forum; I was surprised to discover I am the only one to have mentioned it and Ovason, who also authored The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill as well as books on NostradamusHis book on Washington DC gives a not unsympathetic reading of the masonic symbology of the city plan, particularly the link between the Federal Triangle and the celestial triangle Regulus-Arcturus-Spica. Masonry here seems to go hand in hand with astrology, with great attention given to horoscope data, which is something Richard Hoagland also describes with the Nasa space program. The book does not talk about the alleged pentagram in the street plan, although this is the sort of thing we are talking about. For example, the Washington Monument, sited at the right angle, slightly off 90°, just as Spica in Virgo lies slightly off 90°, had its foundation stone laid 150 feet up on Aug 7, 1880, at 10.59 exactly – when Spica was rising. The other angles on the triangle are of course the White House and the Capitol.
http://io9.com/5847682/are-the-streets-of-washington-dc-supposed-to-form-a-pentagram

I myself am not unsympathetic either to the use of astrology for the purpose of giving an auspicious start to a building and a fortiori to a city. Astrologers like Ulli and Carmody will and have confirmed and shown that astrology is for real. However, Ovason is somewhat naïvely optimistic; he states for instance that the symbolism of the masonic number 33 is due to, refers to the age at which Jesus died. More likely, Jesus’s alleged age at his alleged death was chosen for masonic reasons.

Interestingly, one of the key figures behind the planning of Washington DC was a French freemason, Pierre-Charles L’Enfant. This is just one aspect of the US’s French connection, another being the Statue of Liberty. The New York version of Auguste Bartholdi’s statue is enlarged fourfold from the plaster original. A dozen bronze copies were also made and are to be found in various parts of Paris, and elsewhere in France (there is even one in Germany), and the plaster original is at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.

Another copy placed on the downstream end of the Île aux Cygnes island bears the inscription IV JUILLET 1776 = XIV JUILLET 1789, equating the Fourth of July with Bastille Day. This was in the centenary year of the French Revolution, 1889 but the official ceremony was held on the fourth, not the fourteenth. So here we have concrete evidence of the US French connection.
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9pliques_de_la_statue_de_la_Libert%C3%A9

5/6ths of the word covert is overt, just as truncating a pyramid turns a 5-sided object into a 6-sided one. The masonic number 33 is the cut-off point between the overt, below, and the covert above. Often, covert will be synonymous with nefarious, and when more than one person is involved, as is usually the case, with conspiratorial. I propose to look at how a covert masonic city planning operation actually works in Paris. Since many of the monuments we shall be looking at are recent additions (c. 30 years old), the book on which this thread is largely based implicates the French president of the day: François Mitterrand grand architecte de l’univers, by Dominique Setzepfandt, Faits & Documents, 1995.

I shall try to distinguish my own personal comments from the author’s statements, although this is not always possible. The basic premise is twofold: alignment and its amplification of negative energies.

a) These monuments produce an energy field. We are talking obelisks, pyramids, arches and such here. And the energy produced by these monuments is amplified by their alignment. There are five such alignments which when taken together, unsurprisingly form a pentagram, which the author drapes in the form of the ouroboros, the snake biting its tail.


22882



If the energy is positive, then that would be all well and good, since the pentagram is the two-dimensional version of the complete pyramid. However (my comment), here is something not well known outside of France: Paris is the capital of a nation that likes to call itself l’Hexagone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagon

(my comment) The 5/6 relation is also a property of stars, which are usually drawn with either 5 or 6 points. The ambivalent reputation of Freemasonry – is it a force for good or for evil? – depends on one’s point of view (are we adding or subtracting?) and on the idea that ‘less is more’, the number five symbolizing perfection is greater than six. There is a contradiction here; in other words arithmetic substraction equates with geometric addition.

b) This energy is described as negative; for example the underground water at one site causes headaches to many visitors, and the day it was turned off coincided with no headache. Red flag: the purpose of the site development was ostensibly to remove issues with damp! Wind at other sites has a similar effect. Another interesting example is I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre. Dominique Setzepfandt notes the beneficial effect of pyramid structures, but explains how the metallic structure here turns it into a Faraday cage. He describes how ants discovered to cluster on the intersections of the Hartmann net where hot meets cold (see http://www.crystalinks.com/grids.html) are chased away by the use of Faraday cages, which he suspects have a similar effect on humans. Also, several of these monuments are places of death and/or close to graveyards and/or built over human remains. For example, the Place de la Concorde is where Louis XVI was beheaded. Under the Place de la Bastille lie hundreds of skeletons. In other words, you have air, fire, earth and water all subverted.

Another aspect of these monuments is the use of esoteric numerology, which takes us all the way back to Pythagoras. And here is the Greek connection. Paris, formerly called Leutèce, is possibly (probably?) named after the seducer of Helen of Troy. The Montparnasse district (housing I believe the only Parisian skyscraper intra muros) is named for Mount Parnassus near Delphi; and the church of La Madeleine (Mary Magdalen) is designed like a Greek temple. There are doubtless other examples.

I note here that sacred numerology seems to encompass the whole number system: 3,4,5,8,9,10,17-20, and beyond. There is not much left out, so when this system is taken over by negative entities or forces, it needs to be wrested back. So, to those who see only the pitfalls in language, I have bad news for you: mathematics is similarly contaminated. But I have good news as well: just as language, which is manmade, can be used creatively to achieve positive ends, likewise numbers, which are the building blocks of the universe, can surely be decontaminated as well. That is the purpose of this thread.

I would suggest that Pythagoras has been kidnapped and made to serve an evil goal that he never intended. I may be wrong, but part of the negative method is to suggest that everyone is on their side, and it was ever thus. I disagree. Pythagoras is famous for his square of the hypotenuse theorem exemplified by the 3,4,5 triangle (3² + 4² = 5²) and for his tetraktys, ten as a triangular number. The fact that 666 is also a triangular number is a quirk of mathematics, not an automatic identification of satanism.


There you have an overview of this thread. I propose, as time permits, to walk down each of these five alignments, stopping off for a closer look at the monuments on the way. The backbone, as it were, of the whole edifice is the line extending from the Paris Observatory due north to a pyramid structure and passing through I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre.

I was going to ask you all to pass some energy Tesla's way...
but then someone mentioned the rule about asking people's permission first.
Was it Astrid, or Anchor, who said there is such a rule.
Anyway, I want to know where it comes from. When I see someone in desperate need I send a wave of helpful energy instantly.
Because to me it is obvious that Tesla wants help, or she wouldn't have shared her story online.

Well, needing permission depends on the source of energy one draws upon, who or what one is working with. If I knew Tesla, I might suggest she get a Mojo Hand from a Hoodoo Doctor, or whatever one of those might advise. A doctor wouldn't ask permission for what they do, as the do not believe in Free Will, only Fate. That kind of sorcery is good and heavy, just like a courtroom, so to speak, and might address the problem very well. She might think of picking up a piece of yellow apatite, it is said that stone helps with legal issues.

Speaking of Hoodoo brings to mind the one I know, I think it was maybe the second time I ever saw him was at a psychic fair, he was walking up to people and handing them this small object asking if they could identify it, then he would tell them what it was, and the typical response was revulsion, and usually they would immediately toss it back to him. My reaction was to frown a little bit, and put it to my nose to see if it had a detectable odor, which elicited a huge grin from him. The thing he was walking around and handing to people was a dried raccoon penis. After he did it to me, it was really entertaining to watch, especially when he got the same typical response from some of these immature souls who fancy themselves to be hardcore pagans, kids who act very dark and tough. I don't know I even saw him try it with any of the real wise women or men coming through the place. Later that day he gave me a deal on some of the wares he had at his booth. Sometime after that, I picked out a crystal to give him, and had it in my pocket until the next time I bumped into him at the shop, and when I handed it to him, he immediately observed that its shape was precisely that of the head of a rat, which although unintentional on my part it seemed to please him a great deal.

Today I got pulled over for expired tabs. My tabs have been expired since last December. I've been stopped before, gone to court, presented the USC codes in regards to "vehicles in commerce" along with the Supreme Court Cases which clearly give us the right to travel without the states imposing a privilege on us. I've been fined and lost my cases.

When asked for my drivers license, I presented the officer with my notarized declaration and he said "oh, so you are one of those" to which I replied, NO I am not. I am traveling, not driving. He did threaten me, that if I did not present a drivers license that I was going to jail, so I handed it to him exclaiming I was doing so under duress. I then showed him on the application for registration where it clearly states that registration is required for motor vehicles, with the subsequent penalty of $6000 dollars or a year in jail for making false statements. I showed him the definition of "motor vehicle" under UCC. I then told him I have sent requests to the DMV for my MCO title, and clarification (with green card and mail certification). He finally began to calm down and surprisingly, no ticket.

He did say that the state statutes define motorized vehicle as any conveyance with a motor, and that I am risking my auto being impounded, myself thrown in jail, and until the states take back the power from the Fed then it may be best if I just go get the tabs.

I then said, I agree the states need to stand up and take their power back, to which he agreed. I then asked him, when do you think this will happen? He said, when there is a collapse. I said, well, I don't think we are too far off. He smiled, handed me back my license and said, have a nice day.

So, I'm inclined to go get the tabs, and put this fight behind me for now. I think my guides are trying to tell me that I am going to need to be able to move about freely in the near future, and this is not the time to take this on. I'm getting a strong sense that this was a warning to get ready.


I, too, have been staying below the radar and doing the minimal to keep maximum clear of "it" all for some time, Grip,
Thanks for Sharing!

With what few things I use that are monitored by titles, plates and insurance and such...I have been flowing pretty free with focused intent on higher matters to the best of my abilities most all of the time through diligent thought
of worldly rightside-upness modus operandi.
I feel the 'collapse' of the "system" is nothing more then the entrainment of awareness and action now in exponential growth and deliberate self-responsibility of a higher kind along with the rhythmical energy of Great Spirit that is here now stronger than ever! And it IS here, now!

Onward and Upward and Beyond!

Well, Village Here and Nowers...I have been invited to a weekend gathering here in MA by the Folks I went to Chaco Canyon with in the Fall of 20o7. Looking forward to a bit of a reunion and the Spirit 'doings' we'll be doing!

The French satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné has received a written complaint from the Japanese government over the cartoon below of two underweight sumo wrestlers, one with three arms, the other with three legs, preparing for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I suspect the paper is right in thinking that this example of black humour caused less concern than the article on Fukushima that it was meant to illustrate.
Caption: Thanks to Fukushima sumo wrestling has been made an Olympic sport.

I happened across an ad for a show, and thought "what an odd name for a band" (Thirty Seconds to Mars)...so I looked it up on wikipedia:

Shannon Leto said the following in an interview regarding the name of the band:

""It represents a lot of things. This professor had a thesis. It was talking about where technology was going; the evolution of man and how that plays a role. A sub-category was Thirty Seconds to Mars. It was like the exponential growth of humans. We are literally 30 seconds away from Mars. Everything is right here and right now; everything is just so crazy and fast."[9]

According to an interview from Virgin Records, former member Matt Wachter said:

"[The band's name] actually comes from a thesis that the band found online that was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the exponential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. What it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short."[10]

However, this purported source has not been verified.[11]


on their fans...

The Echelon are the fanbase for Thirty Seconds to Mars, though they reject the term fanbase and consider themselves a "family". The Echelon have created philanthropic charities based on the band's charitable work for the environment and Haiti. The Echelon are named after a song on the debut album, 30 Seconds to Mars. Concerning the Echelon, Jared Leto has stated the following:

"Some people ask us if this is a cult. I say this: It's something special. It's not for everyone – it's only for those who understand."

I don't know any of their music...just thought this interesting...

Okay, what do you say to a 92 year old woman with fairly advanced dementia who says: I don't know what I'm doing. Do you say, I know you don't know what you're doing. That doesn't seem appropriate. Or do you just make something up? Or maybe just state the obvious. You're going on a walkabout. Or, you're sitting on your bed in your bedroom. I don't really expect an answer. But, I think I need to know more about this condition. Care-taking the elderly is one thing, but having no mind left is another. I am finding out though, that the body kinda has a mind of it's own, separate from the mind, if you know what I mean.

I'm also finding out that I have a personal issue I have to work through. I don't like to wake people up that are sound asleep. Never have. Not sure why, I just really don't like to do it. Since her internal clock is basically not functioning most of the time, if I don't get her up she sometimes will just keep on sleeping. So, I have this little internal battle with myself. Should I get her up, should I just let her sleep, when should I get her up and so on. Just a stupid little thing. But, I do need to get a grip on it. She seems to appreciate my cooking though.

My father died early with alzheimers ... tough questions.

He slept about 18 hours a day toward the end. No idea but I would expect things are much better for those in such a state while asleep?

Short term memory was so gone that it almost mattered not what was said day to day ... longer term memories were better.

I use believe that was the case. Without permission, one would take on the other’s karmic lesson(s). But really? Who says? Those that don't want us to come together? Dogma dodo!

It’s a time in history where many are in need of healing, be it through encouragement, support, tough love, a listener, a shoulder to cry on, or a crash course on upgrade of life tools/skills.

We are all healers, healing all, always, and in all ways. Also, for me, healing contracts are done between Higher Selves. So the one in need of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing will at those levels decide to accept and integrate.


Because to me it is obvious that Tesla wants help, or she wouldn't have shared her story online.

Tesla sharing her story online is a way to assist the healing process. A chance to bring light to the circumstances rather than it be incased with emotions that are labeled or mislabeled like fear, rage, sorrow, guilt, doubt. It’s a chance to listen between the words.

To write or post is also an opportunity for: problem solving to surface, actions steps seen and taken, clarity of life changes, decisions to rid energetics that cloud thoughts and actions.

Action is key or the knowledge dims until the next bout of the circular lessons. Get unstuck. Application on ones collected experiences and wisdoms create spirals.

UPDATE: Clarification if needed...last paragraph is for general audience.

So true. And yet, there is so much dammed up that when it comes to the crux, the only natural 'action' (more like letting something happen in me or through me) is one that would create general chaos. Not harm, per se, although it would be difficult to manage the consequences. It only comes to me in the presence of others.

I wonder if there really is a way to work with it gently, to work it slowly, so my remaining connections and social image don't go completely down the drain, or am I putting off an inevitable experience?

EDIT: it would be like great big sobs and crying, very loud if the floodgates fully opened. I know what I'm talking about here isn't quite the same as the type of process being referenced; it's just what triggered in me when I read it.

Thank you Calz, I really do appreciate that. I, too, wonder about whether sleeping is not such a bad thing. She often is unable to regulate when to be up, when to eat, when to go to the bathroom. It's actually kind of scary for her when she gets really disoriented and doesn't know where she is. I try to reassure but I don't have a long history with her. Sometimes she confuses me for her daughter. She was a 4th grade school teacher for 35 years. It may sound weird, but sometimes I sit and talk to her like she really can hear and understand me and just talk about what her life must have been like and ask her stupid questions about where she always wishes she could have traveled and things like that. Eyesight and hearing are both bad so that makes it even harder. I am so glad I have worked on myself enough to be truly kind and considerate most of the time towards her. A few short years ago I could not have done it and even now when my husband and I have been up most of the night on occasion with her it is a struggle not to be grumpy. She may not be very aware but I can tell you she does understand tone of voice. I can only imagine how emotionally difficult it is to have someone you are very close to, like a parent in this condition. And, it is very interesting to see the family dynamics in deciding who takes care of and takes on the responsibility for a family member needing special care. Most don't want to be bothered and there is often resentment by the one who takes it on for his or her siblings for their lack of caring (or assumed lack). I can't believe how much I am learning from this situation though. In a strange way it has been a blessing for me and my husband. He was a tough Special Forces Medic military kinda guy. This wasn't exactly what he envisioned in his future but yet here we are, exactly where we need to be.

As to permission needed for sending energy...I send along the energies with the tag line "under GRACE in miraculous ways so be it" This allows the laws of the universe or free will or whatever you choose to call it to work in the freedom required.
Or at least thats the way I see it. My two cents worth...

Anyways, my apartment. Someone helped me take measurements for the windows today. Pretty sure I'm getting heavy drapes or thermal curtains rather than the roman blinds or shades I was considering at first. The landlord doesn't allow the walls to be painted (boo!) so I want something colorful. All this stuff is new to me.

Bed... check. Mattress... check. Bureau... check. (small) kitchen table... check. Desk... check. Bookshelf... check. All the appliances.

I'm realizing just how important it is to make one's space feel 'homey'... I'm so used to living in barren rooms and apartments that I didn't know how it was affecting me. But I can almost tangibly feel the difference when I walk into someone's home or apartment where some love and attention has been invested. I'd like to get some artwork and perhaps get back into making some of my own stuff...

Your home is definitely the dominion over which you can rule, in godlike fashion.
It is an area of selfexpression. Your own little heaven of rest.
As soon as you step out of the front door you enter public space,
one where rulership has to be shared with others.
I'm glad you recognized that your environment affects your being,
And home has to be the stress free zone.
Life outside brings enough stress as is.
Home is for recovery from that stress.

squeaks, drips, and ticking clocks, drive me batty.

I remember as a kid, staying at my grandparents house, they had alot of clocks.
Some of which chimed on the quarter hour, i could never sleep there.

Silence i love

My grandmother was an extensive collector of antiques, and, in particular, antique clocks. So much so that my oldest brother, the first grandson, gave her the name Tic Toc. So, I grew up with calling my grandmother Tic Toc, and I didn't think that was odd until I was in high school. That was her name, Tic Toc. Anyway, she died about a decade ago, after a deep and troubling dementia. I have two of her very old antique clocks, both from Germany. I love them and try to keep them running. The tick tocking reminds me of my grandmother's house where she would have dozens of them all ticking away, all out of sync and chiming and coo cooing all the time. My wife, though, the tick tocking drives her crazy and she sabotages my clocks, stops the pendulums, etc. It's an on-going battle. I personally abhor time and keeping track of it, but I do love those old German wooden clocks, and of course, my Tic Toc.

Yes, the whole point is that the endless tic-toc is actually timeless: every tic sounds the same and so does every toc.

The revelation that particle interactions, the most basic events in nature, may be consequences of geometry significantly advances a decades-long effort to reformulate quantum field theory, the body of laws describing elementary particles and their interactions. Interactions that were previously calculated with mathematical formulas thousands of terms long can now be described by computing the volume of the corresponding jewel-like “amplituhedron,” which yields an equivalent one-term expression.

They finally begin to get it.

That ...dimensionally speaking, geometry, angles, vibration, oscillation, all of that.... is the FUNDAMENTAL.

And with such understanding, anything.. anything at all..can be done with matter, space, time and dimensions.


“The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling,” said Jacob Bourjaily, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University and one of the researchers who developed the new idea. “You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.”

some of us don't need paper.

We just visualize complex geometry, in colors and frequency. That's exactly how Tesla did it and how the Buddhists see it and draw it, and all the geometric imagery, medallions, and symbols that Micheal Newton's hypnosis subjects spoke about seeing in their 'lives between lives'.

Hello Gekko,

And yet, there is so much dammed up that when it comes to the crux, the only natural 'action' (more like letting something happen in me or through me) is one that would create general chaos.

I’d say if there’s something dammed up, it means let go.

The loss of my son is the barometer I use to settle any emotions that need a dusting off. Nothing and no thing touches me like that experience. When the emotional pain hit the realm of immeasurable and insurmountable, the body took on the rest. It felt like a non-stop, red-hot poker attack. Raw-raw all the time.

I was exhausted. I could not take one more second of the on-going rage, sadness, and fear of never seeing Michael again. I lived in the country, and no homes around for miles. I went outside in the dead of winter, no coat and screeched, screeched and screeched. I hoped a blood vessel or my heart end all pain.

Instead, I collapsed and waited to die. No more tears came. No sobs. Only silence. I landed in the center of blessed silence. No need to think or wonder or feel. Nothing.

I don’t know how long it was. But when I got up, I thought it snowed until I took a closer look. There were tiny, tiny feathers all around me. I don’t know how many I collected. Lots. When I checked, I watched them disappear in my hand like snowflakes. And as if on cue, the feathers that had outlined my body did the same.

No amount of money would I trade for the experience that day. A priceless gift of knowledge that nothing, and no thing matches a heart that is open. It only makes one stronger.

So that’s my secret weapon for oodles of light and continued health. Keep the awareness light on. Recycle and relabel energies that go quirky ASAP.

UPDATE: Rather than recycle and relabel...un-label, i.e., no label, i.e., stop before the label. It's my new, old-goal. Identify there's itch energy. Then it goes poof!

Hearts,
Paula :wave:

Very touching Paula.

This draw the lines with the important doesn't it|

The unimportant now: I went to a sound systems stores and looked at some stuff, such as sound systems (lol), tv, and there was massage chairs made by Toshiba.

I sat in the most expensive one and put a massage program on. This was so good, I could not believe that they actually made a chair as I had thought of years ago, when having massage. $5,000 for nirvana, or almost.
I became soooo relax that they could have sold me anything.
I had to escape the store fast, but not before being handed two sales proposals for a sound system.

If you ever see those chairs in a store, do not hesitate for one minute in trying their démos, Toshiba is the brand, and the salesman told me they all do the chair once a day because it is so good.

---------------------------------------------

I cannot believe it. My daughter just sent me a pm to go get some food at the store, and then she scream "you do not answer me", me answering verbally and her "this is not polite to not send back a pm". Oh! Please!

Why doesn't she just speak???

Yes, mental telepathy. I wanted to try at one point with her, consciously (we surely do it below the conscious awareness), she did not believe she could.

As for pm ing me for getting some ice cream (now I will have your interest Paula ;) ), she was already tracking me on Facebook, on Skype, on Hotmail, now on Avalon??!!!

I feel I have no more virtual place to hide :rolleyes: - it is a little bit of that feeling, but with a large smile.

Much respect, Paula. And you're right. Underneath the heavy blanket is much joy, and peace. I'm beginning to sense it there even when I'm not experiencing it.

Everything I experience is personal to me. And yet none of it is meant personally. A paradox I'm actually grasping, at least on some level.

https://www.simonsfoundation.org/quanta/20130917-a-jewel-at-the-heart-of-quantum-physics/


The revelation that particle interactions, the most basic events in nature, may be consequences of geometry significantly advances a decades-long effort to reformulate quantum field theory, the body of laws describing elementary particles and their interactions. Interactions that were previously calculated with mathematical formulas thousands of terms long can now be described by computing the volume of the corresponding jewel-like “amplituhedron,” which yields an equivalent one-term expression.

ha..ha..ha.. (that kind of crying glad but forced sarcastic sad laughter)

They finally begin to get it.

That ...dimensionally speaking, geometry, angles, vibration, oscillation, all of that.... is the FUNDAMENTAL.

And with such understanding, anything.. anything at all..can be done with matter, space, time and dimensions.


“The degree of efficiency is mind-boggling,” said Jacob Bourjaily, a theoretical physicist at Harvard University and one of the researchers who developed the new idea. “You can easily do, on paper, computations that were infeasible even with a computer before.”

some of us don't need paper.

We just visualize complex geometry, in colors and frequency. That's exactly how Tesla did it and how the Buddhists see it and draw it, and all the geometric imagery, medallions, and symbols that Micheal Newton's hypnosis subjects spoke about seeing in their 'lives between lives'.

If one ever wanted to get a handle on specific moments in human time and space, this is one of them. At least with regard to the face of public change. This one right here. ^

squeaks, drips, and ticking clocks, drive me batty.

I remember as a kid, staying at my grandparents house, they had alot of clocks.
Some of which chimed on the quarter hour, i could never sleep there.

Silence i love

My grandmother was an extensive collector of antiques, and, in particular, antique clocks. So much so that my oldest brother, the first grandson, gave her the name Tic Toc. So, I grew up with calling my grandmother Tic Toc, and I didn't think that was odd until I was in high school. That was her name, Tic Toc. Anyway, she died about a decade ago, after a deep and troubling dementia. I have two of her very old antique clocks, both from Germany. I love them and try to keep them running. The tick tocking reminds me of my grandmother's house where she would have dozens of them all ticking away, all out of sync and chiming and coo cooing all the time. My wife, though, the tick tocking drives her crazy and she sabotages my clocks, stops the pendulums, etc. It's an on-going battle. I personally abhor time and keeping track of it, but I do love those old German wooden clocks, and of course, my Tic Toc.
My grandmother too had an extensive collection of clocks. Visiting was a very noisy experience. All clocks were set to the right time and almost all of them chimed. Personally I have never wore a watch, hardly ever know what time it is although every appliance we own these days has a clock. I figure time is only a man made thing anyway. I'd rather count moons or suns.

Ulli, that's a great all in one, streamline model. I've post here before the two I've got. The solar panel one I use in the winter keep my heating bill down. The South side is sunny all day, so I plug the fan into the solar panel and blow the warming rays to the North side of my apartment. My heat source is electric and the rates keep going up.

This is a neat emergency idea. I haven't tried it out. It may be too late to purchases the seasonal pots.

Winter is cold and the heater costs a lot of money to run! Why not heat your room with a simple candle? Does it take longer? Yes! Light the candle a few hours before you want to go to bed. Then hop in to the sack.... WHOA! Is this bedroom really that warm? Oh, yes. Hack a heater and join the resistance.

Space heaters take time to do their thing so don't be impatient, get it going early and enjoy the results later.... All it costs you is a simple candle.

The entire project cost around 10 dollars (including candle) and my Brother swears that his room is quite comfortable in these long winter nights.

The items you'll need are: 3 Pots that fit into each other (the "baby" pot should be the smallest you can buy) 1 Bolt that fits through all three of your pots (we used 3/8ths inch bolt that was 8 inches long) 6 Washers 5 3/8 inch nuts 8 1/2 inch nuts 2 bricks (size depends on the candles you use) 1 Candle 2 Hands (you could probably get it done with one, but it would take forever)

I'm pledging myself to the debt lords for around 25-30,000 to live free from centralized power (complete off grid system with batteries and lots of solar PV's ) it will actually cost me less per month than my electricity.

http://www.wholesalesolar.com/

[Carmody]

The nice thing about the solar power bet on debt, is that if things crash, possession is the law part (come and get it suckers! good luck!)....and if they don't ...well, one can still be working, in order to continue to pay them.

If things go down slowly and it is attached to a mortgage, you'll know it is coming and the system can be secreted away before they take the house or whatnot.

Almost a win-win situation.

The most interesting part of being on the island, where you are, is the wind (for the larger part) never stops. Wind power is a good bet, as it generates power all night...just maybe... don't install it unless it is needed. If things crash, it's a bit of a big eyeball and contemplation draw for people looking for power. Hard to miss seeing a big tower(s) like that.

Morning, all. Been thinking about death lately,
triggered by yet another wave of Avalonians' prophetic visions.

I mean, here we are, most of us 'knowing' by now that life is in reality an endless state,
with brief interruptions called "death", whenever the physical body is shed.
So why is it such a big deal?

Well, the big deal is to do with the fact that we are born completely ignorant,
without conscious memory of our last episodes of living,
and arrive here naked and screaming, with only a pair of boobs offered as consolation,
and no idea what currency they use in this new country.

And as we grow up we discover that one day it all ends, 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust',
with some vague stories hinting that soon the whole process has to be repeated again.
Except next time there is no certainty of neither boobs nor money.
Unless you are a male heterosexual Muslim and have been promised 72 virgins
but that could just be a trick.

Sorry to sound gloomy, but Im only reflecting the general mood I found out there on Avalon.
Looking for consolation in Baha'i teachings on death...back in a minute.

[Shane]

Hi ulli,

Oddly enough.. I have been considering death today as well.. I seem to have woken up with it. For myself, anytime I think of death and start to become consumed by the fleshly desire to prolong my physical existence.. I remember this woman. A friend and mother, who passed a few years ago now, and who taught me a lot about love and light.. and who left us these words before passing that always remind me of two things:

First, that the struggle and pain of this life is not in vain and has value/beauty in it.

Secondly... "We are eternal and all this pain is an illusion".

I will share this song.. Music done by us, and the words are from the woman mentioned above. She was aware she was dying and her connection to her "higher self" was incredible just before she passed. We recorded her speaking these words to her sons just before her time on this earth (this time around) ended. I am not sure if it will help, and it is a bit sad.. but I also personally find it to be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

Best of luck to you in your search for knowledge and understanding...

Good morning ;)

I love the idea of solar and wind power. Living here in the "O So Cloudy Place" I wonder if it would be an option. Wind is out too for us at the moment, down in a hollow with 60' trees around us. YOU GUYS ARE COOL!

[ulli]

Here is a brief summary. On the whole the Baha'i teachings state that death is the opening of the cage,
and the bird can fly, free at last.

http://info.bahai.org/article-1-4-5-1.html
Ok, this page above is to be dismissed...as an example of the lies that people inject into holy scripture.
No life before birth? Baha'u'llah said no such thing.
And I read all the writings, many times over.
In fact, I can show where he talked about preexistence.

He did, however, forbid the interpreting of holy texts,
But that part is kept hidden.
This 'official' stuff which is coming out of the Bahai World Center in Haifa, Israel,
is the perfect example of what was done to the Bible over the centuries, and the main reason why I dropped out.

Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."

And he said:

You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

Yet is he not more mindful of his trembling?

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?

And what is to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.

And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.

And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
Khalil Gibran

A Poet's Death is His Life IV

The dark wings of night enfolded the city upon which Nature had spread a pure white garment of snow; and men deserted the streets for their houses in search of warmth, while the north wind probed in contemplation of laying waste the gardens. There in the suburb stood an old hut heavily laden with snow and on the verge of falling. In a dark recess of that hovel was a poor bed in which a dying youth was lying, staring at the dim light of his oil lamp, made to flicker by the entering winds. He a man in the spring of life who foresaw fully that the peaceful hour of freeing himself from the clutches of life was fast nearing. He was awaiting Death's visit gratefully, and upon his pale face appeared the dawn of hope; and on his lops a sorrowful smile; and in his eyes forgiveness.

He was poet perishing from hunger in the city of living rich. He was placed in the earthly world to enliven the heart of man with his beautiful and profound sayings. He as noble soul, sent by the Goddess of Understanding to soothe and make gentle the human spirit. But alas! He gladly bade the cold earth farewell without receiving a smile from its strange occupants.

He was breathing his last and had no one at his bedside save the oil lamp, his only companion, and some parchments upon which he had inscribed his heart's feeling. As he salvaged the remnants of his withering strength he lifted his hands heavenward; he moved his eyes hopelessly, as if wanting to penetrate the ceiling in order to see the stars from behind the veil clouds.

And he said, "Come, oh beautiful Death; my soul is longing for you. Come close to me and unfasten the irons life, for I am weary of dragging them. Come, oh sweet Death, and deliver me from my neighbors who looked upon me as a stranger because I interpret to them the language of the angels. Hurry, oh peaceful Death, and carry me from these multitudes who left me in the dark corner of oblivion because I do not bleed the weak as they do. Come, oh gentle Death, and enfold me under your white wings, for my fellowmen are not in want of me. Embrace me, oh Death, full of love and mercy; let your lips touch my lips which never tasted a mother's kiss, not touched a sister's cheeks, not caresses a sweetheart's fingertips. Come and take me, by beloved Death."

Then, at the bedside of the dying poet appeared an angel who possessed a supernatural and divine beauty, holding in her hand a wreath of lilies. She embraced him and closed his eyes so he could see no more, except with the eye of his spirit. She impressed a deep and long and gently withdrawn kiss that left and eternal smile of fulfillment upon his lips. Then the hovel became empty and nothing was lest save parchments and papers which the poet had strewn with bitter futility.

Hundreds of years later, when the people of the city arose from the diseases slumber of ignorance and saw the dawn of knowledge, they erected a monument in the most beautiful garden of the city and celebrated a feast every year in honor of that poet, whose writings had freed them. Oh, how cruel is man's ignorance!
Khalil Gibran

[ulli]

I always took the passage below to hint at reincarnation,
but when I was still hanging out with Baha'is they preferred to see it differently,
as what exactly, I don't know.
I never found the part where Baha'u'llah had supposedly said
that the soul had no existence before birth.

"Rememberest thou not God’s warning uttered in times past, that thou mayest be of them that heed His warning? He said, and He, verily, speaketh the truth:
“From it (earth) have We created you, and unto it will We return you, and out of it will We bring you forth a second time.” This is what God ordained unto all them that dwell on earth, be they high or low. It behoveth not, therefore, him who was created from dust, who will return unto it, and will again be brought forth out of it, to swell with pride before God, and before His loved ones, to proudly scorn them, and be filled with disdainful arrogance. Nay, rather it behoveth thee and those like thee to submit yourselves to them Who are the Manifestations of the unity of God, and to defer humbly to the faithful, who have forsaken their all for the sake of God, and have detached themselves from the things which engross men’s attention..."
~ Baha'u'llah

So this was a huge issue for me for years. By the time I became a Bahai in 1983 I had already read books like "Life Before Life"... The Bloxham tapes, and read many testimonies of people who had had recalls.
But I thought I would get a chance to address these things one day. No such luck. In fact, I found many more issues, with no recourse for open dialogue, as during the nineties the Bahai Faith became just another top down hierarchy,
like all the other religions.
But the hijackers will pay the price one day.
I believe in ultimate justice, just as I believe in mercy.

[ulli]

Then Almitra spoke, saying, "We would ask now of Death."

And he said:

You would know the secret of death.

But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life?

The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light.

If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life.

For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.

In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond;

And like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.

Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.

Your fear of death is but the trembling of the shepherd when he stands before the king whose hand is to be laid upon him in honour.

Is the shepherd not joyful beneath his trembling, that he shall wear the mark of the king?

[PurpleLama]

existance is indeed and endless state, with brief interruptions called "life

[ulli]

So just to continue my musings...Jiminii said something about 70% of humanity not having soul at all.
Which led to further discussions, understandably.
I personally have no clue here, but some people speak with authority so that us lesser mortals can then either accept or reject the statement.
I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and address them as if they had a soul.
But I should also confess that quite a number of people I have met left me wondering.

Gurdjieff said he believed that we are here to create a soul, and we either cut it, or we don't.
Maybe all teachings on reincarnation are irrelevant since it deals with the past,
and all past events are only useful in that they might give us lessons which we can then map our future journey.

Anyway, all this talk of death will open the gates of rebirth, so I'm curious now what tomorrow morning will bring.
I just love rebirth.

[ulli]

existance is indeed and endless state, with brief interruptions called "life

So are you anti-life, Reilly? I know, I know, you are just being your usual facetious self.
But seriously, an interruption is something most of us consider a nuisance; something unwanted.
Meanwhile to me life is the expression of eternal spirit in ever changing forms. Life is movement....birth, growth, reproduction, transformation, all of it...no end.


P.S. Disclaimer... This is meant to be teasing Reilly. He and I have an understanding, which to an outsider may or may not look as amicable as it 'reilly' is. ;)

A Tear And A Smile

I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
For the joys of the multitude.
And I would not have the tears that sadness makes
To flow from my every part turn into laughter.

I would that my life remain a tear and a smile.

A tear to purify my heart and give me understanding
Of life's secrets and hidden things.
A smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and
To be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.

A tear to unite me with those of broken heart;
A smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.

I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live Weary and despairing.

I want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the
Depths of my spirit,for I have seen those who are
Satisfied the most wretched of people.
I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and Longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.

With evening's coming the flower folds her petals
And sleeps, embracingher longing.
At morning's approach she opens her lips to meet
The sun's kiss.

The life of a flower is longing and fulfilment.
A tear and a smile.

The waters of the sea become vapor and rise and come
Together and area cloud.

And the cloud floats above the hills and valleys
Until it meets the gentle breeze, then falls weeping
To the fields and joins with brooks and rivers to Return to the sea, its home.

The life of clouds is a parting and a meeting.
A tear and a smile.

And so does the spirit become separated from
The greater spirit to move in the world of matter
And pass as a cloud over the mountain of sorrow
And the plains of joy to meet the breeze of death
And return whence it came.

To the ocean of Love and Beauty----to God.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran

Ok, Billy, it appears I was wrong. I just did some research, to get more background.
Years ago I read The Diary of Juliet Thompson" an New York artist, and early American Baha'i who had met Abdul-Baha in person.
People often thought Abdul-Baha was the divine messenger, the Bahai prophet, but that was not true. The prophet was his father, Bahaullah, who died in captivity in Palestine.

So in 1912 when Abdul-Baha went to New York, Juliet Thompson introduced Khalil Gibran to him.

Here is a paragraph about their connection.

Can we then infer that there was some connection between 'Abdu'l-Bahá and Gibran's most celebrated work, 'The Prophet'? Juliet tells us, "I don't believe that there was any connection between 'Abdu'l-Bahá and 'The Prophet'.
But he told me that when he wrote 'The Son of Man' he thought of 'Abdu'l-Bahà all through.
He told me definitely that 'The Son of Man' was influenced by 'Abdu'l-Bahà.
At the end of the book, 'The Son of Man', Gibran writes :
"But Master, Sky-heart, Knight of our fairer dream, you do still tread this day;
Nor bows nor spears shall stay your steps ;
You walk through all our arrows ; You smile down upon us, …
And you father us all."

In the last years of his life Gibran was terribly sad because of cancer. He was very sick while Juliet was away.
When she came back he asked her to see him every day. He was in bed.
These were his last days and he would pour out the story of his life to her.
In the words of Juliet; "These last days he just wept and wept. His head on my shoulders.
He never said he was dying, He never said a word. Except that one thing : I want to give you all I can while I can. So come every day.
At one time he had told Juliet that he was going to write another book on 'Abdu'l-Bahá as the Centre, and all the Contemporaries of 'Abdu'l-Bahá speaking.
Unfortunately, he died before he wrote it at the age of forty- nine. He lies buried in Boston.

Kahlil Gibran is buried, but not his work. The Bahá'í influences on his life have escaped the dust of time and are available to us. How else would the posterity have known that 'the Master' had his Master too ! Let us hope that the future Bahá'í Scholars will unveil more details of the influences that the Writings of the Blessed Beauty (Baha'u'llah) and the contact with the Beloved Master (Abdu'l-Baha) had on Gibran's brief but intense life and his momentous work."

I'm beginning to believe that the fear of death is as contrived as every other disempowering belief that's been woven into the fabric of "civilization"...implanted into the "system" in the time when slaves still recognized death (freedom from the confines of our meatbags) may be preferable to a life of abuse and oppression.

Is there a more effective form of control, than the denial of death? Is there anything more limiting to human potential than the fear of it?

Excellent. A beautiful drawing of a beautiful soul.

I hope you do not mind One more from Khalil.

A Tear And A Smile

I would not exchange the sorrows of my heart
For the joys of the multitude.
And I would not have the tears that sadness makes
To flow from my every part turn into laughter.

I would that my life remain a tear and a smile.

A tear to purify my heart and give me understanding
Of life's secrets and hidden things.
A smile to draw me nigh to the sons of my kind and
To be a symbol of my glorification of the gods.

A tear to unite me with those of broken heart;
A smile to be a sign of my joy in existence.

I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live Weary and despairing.

I want the hunger for love and beauty to be in the
Depths of my spirit,for I have seen those who are
Satisfied the most wretched of people.
I have heard the sigh of those in yearning and Longing, and it is sweeter than the sweetest melody.

With evening's coming the flower folds her petals
And sleeps, embracingher longing.
At morning's approach she opens her lips to meet
The sun's kiss.

The life of a flower is longing and fulfilment.
A tear and a smile.

The waters of the sea become vapor and rise and come
Together and area cloud.

And the cloud floats above the hills and valleys
Until it meets the gentle breeze, then falls weeping
To the fields and joins with brooks and rivers to Return to the sea, its home.

The life of clouds is a parting and a meeting.
A tear and a smile.

And so does the spirit become separated from
The greater spirit to move in the world of matter
And pass as a cloud over the mountain of sorrow
And the plains of joy to meet the breeze of death
And return whence it came.

To the ocean of Love and Beauty----to God.
Khalil Gibran

Very beautiful. Thank you, Billyji.
He was the Rumi of his age.

Good afternoon Villagers!

Anyone else feeling depressed or in a bad mood today? I woke up this morning very very stressed, with a lot of negative thoughts. And it has been happening until a few hours ago. Now I feel more relaxed.

I'm usually highly sensitive to my environment. Atmospheric pressure changes, fast weather changes and all this sort of things affect my body and my soul in some way and my mood changes with them. It's something I've learned to live with, although is still a bit confusing to me...

But today's weather is quite stable, so I guess the cause of my thoughts and feelings is this:

Hello Miguel, you are not the only one.
This full moon in Pisces which happens every August or September, always brings a lot of emotional instability.
I had several bouts of negativity since yesterday, and also noticed elsewhere on the Avalon forum, that others felt it, too.
By tomorrow all will be forgotten again, provided one doesn't express these feelings in a harmful way...

"For evil cannot produce good fruit. For the place from which each of them is produces that which is like itself; for not every soul is of the truth, nor of immortality. For every soul of these ages has death assigned to it in our view, because it is always a slave, since it is created for its desires and their eternal destruction, in which they are and from which they are. They love the creatures of the matter which came forth with them."

"But the immortal souls are not like these, O Peter. But indeed, as long as the hour is not yet come, it (the immortal soul) shall resemble a mortal one. But it shall not reveal its nature, that it alone is the immortal one, and thinks about immortality, having faith, and desiring to renounce these things."

"For people do not gather figs from thorns or from thorn trees, if they are wise, nor grapes from thistles. For, on the one hand, that which is always becoming is in that from which it is, being from what is not good, which becomes destruction for it and death. But that which comes to be in the Eternal One is in the One of the life and the immortality of the life which they resemble."

"Therefore all that which exists not will dissolve into what exists not. For deaf and blind ones join only with their own kind."


http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/apocalypsepeter-mrjames.html


And my Lord answered me and said to me: 'Hast thou understood that which I said unto thee before? It is permitted unto thee to know that concerning which thou askest: but thou must not tell that which thou hearest unto the sinners lest they transgress the more, and sin.' Peter weeps many hours, and is at last consoled by an answer which, though exceedingly diffuse and vague does seem to promise ultimate pardon for all: 'My Father will give unto them all the life, the glory, and the kingdom that passeth not away,' . . . 'It is because of them that have believed in me that I am come. It is also because of them that have believed in me, that, at their word, I shall have pity on men.' The doctrine that sinners will be saved at last by the prayers of the righteous is, rather obscurely, enunciated in the Second Book of the Sibylline Oracles (a paraphrase, in this part, of the Apocalypse), and in the (Coptic) Apocalypse of Elias (see post).

Well I am not sure I will still be in Asia. Not sure if they will extend the English job because they keep adding rules to it and you have to pay for courses to stay qualified and beat you to death over having to cross borders all the time just to be in the country to teach their kids English. Hmmmm wonder if it is worth it. ... So looks like I will have to somehow do the long swim, except the opposite direction. I figure if I can make it half way and no sharks get me I will have enough incentive to make it all the way, taking rest at islands I stop along the way. Hmm I think I should take a log with me too. This is only if I get too tired swimming.

At one time I was able to just put up a spiritual sky hook and swing across the sky endlessly catch the next hooked piece of sky to keep going. AHHH was so easy. Hmmm but for some reason I have forgotten how to create those sky hooks.

I could probably sneak aboard one of these ships and hope it is going the right direction. Never tried that or found the hitchhikers guide to the sea, I am sure there is a way. Yes a dolphin somewhere I can remember the dance and it will be so happy to take me.

Ok .... if I at least get to south america somewhere maybe I can walk the rest of the way. Hope there is a few free coconut trees along the way....

P.S: Nice to put a face on your nick, astro-mom.

[PurpleLama]

existance is indeed and endless state, with brief interruptions called "life

So are you anti-life, Reilly? I know, I know, you are just being your usual facetious self.
But seriously, an interruption is something most of us consider a nuisance; something unwanted.
Meanwhile to me life is the expression of eternal spirit in ever changing forms. Life is movement....birth, growth, reproduction, transformation, all of it...no end.


P.S. Disclaimer... This is meant to be teasing Reilly. He and I have an understanding, which to an outsider may or may not look as amicable as it 'reilly' is. ;)

Not a nuisance at all, perhaps a welcome intermission in the midst of an otherwise eternal state.

Being born into this world, we forget what's more than the sum total of this experience, and only by leaving this experience should we remember it all, once again.

It is by dying all the little deaths of ego and personality, we are afforded fluttering glimpses of what we never really left behind, just hypnotizing ourselves to see otherwise.

I feel ill prepared. But my friend would say I prepared well, and only need to remember.

As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
I get an electric shock from you
This secondhand living just won't do

And the way I feel tonight
I could die and I wouldn't mind
And there's something going on inside
Makes you want to feel

Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
And I can't stand up
I can't cool down

I can't get my head off the ground
As soon as I get my head around you
I come around catching sparks off you
And all I ever got from you

Was all I ever took from you
Yeah, the world could die in pain
And I wouldn't feel no shame
And there's nothing holding me to blame

Makes you want to feel
Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town

Where all my troubles can't be found
I said yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And I'm taking myself to a dirty part of town
Where all my troubles can't be found

Makes you want to feel
Makes you want to try
Makes you want to blow the stars from the sky

It is all a matter of perception.

In my case, and since I can't speak on behalf of another person lest I make an assumption,
it varies from moment to moment ...all is relative.

So I came into duality to suffer separateness ...
Which in turns fuels my longing for unity.

The first layer of unity is with mother, then with family.
After seven years, or in astrological terms the first Saturn square, which causes the seven-year itch, which leads to separation, life separates us gradually from family as we begin to form friendships at school. We learn to read and write...we get a new set of teeth.
Then, seven years or so later, another Saturn quarter orbit, adolescence kicks in, puberty,
rebellion against parents' authority and reaffirming more bonds outside of home and family.

The third quarter of Saturn coincides with responsibility of learning to stand on one's own feet financially.

And the last quarter ends between age 28 and 29, the first Saturn return.
By now the burden of responsibility is even heavier, with family and kids and household of our own. And each one of these phases there is something that breaks away, and new issues arise, with fresh effort at reunification.

So it's always an interplay of forces, always BOTH...alternating.
This is a world of duality, which is designed to trigger our longing for unity.
Or is it a world of unity, which triggers our longing for individuality?

This is a question each needs to ask themselves. A kind of chicken egg trick question, if you ask me.

[yukondiva]

Morning, all. Been thinking about death lately,
triggered by yet another wave of Avalonians' prophetic visions.

I mean, here we are, most of us 'knowing' by now that life is in reality an endless state,
with brief interruptions called "death", whenever the physical body is shed.
So why is it such a big deal?

Well, the big deal is to do with the fact that we are born completely ignorant,
without conscious memory of our last episodes of living,
and arrive here naked and screaming, with only a pair of boobs offered as consolation,
and no idea what currency they use in this new country.

And as we grow up we discover that one day it all ends, 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust',
with some vague stories hinting that soon the whole process has to be repeated again.
Except next time there is no certainty of neither boobs nor money.
Unless you are a male heterosexual Muslim and have been promised 72 virgins
but that could just be a trick.

Sorry to sound gloomy, but Im only reflecting the general mood I found out there on Avalon.
Looking for consolation in Baha'i teachings on death...back in a minute.

It must be in the air I had a very bad pshycic attack I wrote to the village and erased it, it was too heavy. I hope today is better!

A Poet's Death is His Life IV

The dark wings of night enfolded the city upon which Nature had spread a pure white garment of snow; and men deserted the streets for their houses in search of warmth, while the north wind probed in contemplation of laying waste the gardens. There in the suburb stood an old hut heavily laden with snow and on the verge of falling. In a dark recess of that hovel was a poor bed in which a dying youth was lying, staring at the dim light of his oil lamp, made to flicker by the entering winds. He a man in the spring of life who foresaw fully that the peaceful hour of freeing himself from the clutches of life was fast nearing. He was awaiting Death's visit gratefully, and upon his pale face appeared the dawn of hope; and on his lops a sorrowful smile; and in his eyes forgiveness.

He was poet perishing from hunger in the city of living rich. He was placed in the earthly world to enliven the heart of man with his beautiful and profound sayings. He as noble soul, sent by the Goddess of Understanding to soothe and make gentle the human spirit. But alas! He gladly bade the cold earth farewell without receiving a smile from its strange occupants.

He was breathing his last and had no one at his bedside save the oil lamp, his only companion, and some parchments upon which he had inscribed his heart's feeling. As he salvaged the remnants of his withering strength he lifted his hands heavenward; he moved his eyes hopelessly, as if wanting to penetrate the ceiling in order to see the stars from behind the veil clouds.

And he said, "Come, oh beautiful Death; my soul is longing for you. Come close to me and unfasten the irons life, for I am weary of dragging them. Come, oh sweet Death, and deliver me from my neighbors who looked upon me as a stranger because I interpret to them the language of the angels. Hurry, oh peaceful Death, and carry me from these multitudes who left me in the dark corner of oblivion because I do not bleed the weak as they do. Come, oh gentle Death, and enfold me under your white wings, for my fellowmen are not in want of me. Embrace me, oh Death, full of love and mercy; let your lips touch my lips which never tasted a mother's kiss, not touched a sister's cheeks, not caresses a sweetheart's fingertips. Come and take me, by beloved Death."

Then, at the bedside of the dying poet appeared an angel who possessed a supernatural and divine beauty, holding in her hand a wreath of lilies. She embraced him and closed his eyes so he could see no more, except with the eye of his spirit. She impressed a deep and long and gently withdrawn kiss that left and eternal smile of fulfillment upon his lips. Then the hovel became empty and nothing was lest save parchments and papers which the poet had strewn with bitter futility.

Hundreds of years later, when the people of the city arose from the diseases slumber of ignorance and saw the dawn of knowledge, they erected a monument in the most beautiful garden of the city and celebrated a feast every year in honor of that poet, whose writings had freed them. Oh, how cruel is man's ignorance!
Khalil Gibran

I love Khalil Gibran I even wrote a modern book based on the prophet.

But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn.       The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part.       If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.       And if our hands should meet in another dream, we shall build another tower in the sky.       So saying he made a signal to the seamen, and straightaway they weighed anchor and cast the ship loose from its moorings, and they moved eastward.       And a cry came from the people as from a single heart, and it rose the dusk and was carried out over the sea like a great trumpeting.       Only Almitra was silent, gazing after the ship until it had vanished into the mist.       And when all the people were dispersed she still stood alone upon the sea-wall, remembering in her heart his saying,       A little while, a moment of rest upon the wind, and another woman shall bear me." 

[RunningDeer]

So just to continue my musings...Jiminii said something about 70% of humanity not having soul at all.
Which led to further discussions, understandably.
I personally have no clue here, but some people speak with authority so that us lesser mortals can then either accept or reject the statement.
I give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and address them as if they had a soul.
But I should also confess that quite a number of people I have met left me wondering.

Gurdjieff said he believed that we are here to create a soul, and we either cut it, or we don't.
Maybe all teachings on reincarnation are irrelevant since it deals with the past,
and all past events are only useful in that they might give us lessons which we can then map our future journey.

Anyway, all this talk of death will open the gates of rebirth, so I'm curious now what tomorrow morning will bring.
I just love rebirth.

Rebirth is life moment to moment rebirth(ing). That’s how I live it. Cleanse, reboot, toss out, welcome in, anything and all that fosters growth and net profit of balance.

I just found the book I learnt a ton from for under $5

Here it is. There was a second book, when I was learning..but I no longer have it and can't remember the title.

Once I learnt how to set up a chart I bought lots more books,
and found it helpful to compare different writers' interpretations.

Now there are programs so one doesn't have to go through those laborious steps...just type in the data, and the program spits it out.

But interpretation must be learnt by oneself, as each have our unique style.

I feel another plug for cafe astrology (http://astro.cafeastrology.com/cgi-bin/astro/natal) coming on....

[Billy]

When i was travelling around India 12 years ago i was very honoured to be " Guided" to visit a Brahman Family that belonged to an ancient linage of the Naadi Shastra,

The Naadi Shastra are ancient palm leaves written 2000yrs ago by Brahman Scribes and document the geology of all souls from the beginning. The leaves are preserved with peacock oil. They are engraved in the ancient Tamil and are stored in secret underground library's. And only Naadi Priests know how to read them. Naadi translated means Palm Leaf, Shastra Translated means Science of Astrology.

Lordy this is such a long story and after 12years passing is still an ongoing experience in my life. I have been contemplating starting a thread on the subject.

Long story short.

After giving the Naadi priest my left hand thumb print which connects you to what tribe you originate from and my name I was asked by the Naadi priest to only answer YES or NO to the questions he was going to ask me during the identification process. This process is minutely detailed.

Written on these ancient leaves was every detail of my present life, Family, names, places, work, Deeds i had performed and Deeds that i had not performed . How many family members were still alive at that time, I was married, divorced, my daughter, my stepson, How many children my siblings had.
And Much more, Even the name of my girlfriend who was in my life at that time. A mind blowing experience that took more than 2 yrs to complete.

After the identification process was complete, the Naadi Priest accepted that those leaves belonged to me. And i could now have them read to me. 14 chapters in all. It is written in the leaves when you will come to the Naadi and whether you are allowed to have them read to you. I was so privileged that i still have a 15th chapter to be read to me, very rare, they said, when the time is right.


He proceeded to tell me about my past life in every detail. My sixth life here on earth, Where and when i was born, My family and members, What deeds i performed and what deeds i did not perform. What illnesses and when i died. And much more.

There was a fifty year gap from when i died in my last life and reborn in this life which they said is my 7th and my last. All sacred contracts will be complete in this life.

Them he read with my permission details of my future destiny in this life. He chanted while reading the ancient Tamil and it was translated by a family member. Part of one of the ceremonies was i had to hold in my hand the 2000yr old leaves that belonged to me.

I hope to return in the next couple of years to complete the process.

Thought i would share.

After giving the Naadi priest my left hand thumb print which connects you to what tribe you originate from and my name I was asked by the Naadi priest to only answer YES or NO to the questions he was going to ask me during the identification process. This process is minutely detailed.

Written on these ancient leaves was every detail of my present life, Family, names, places, work, Deeds i had performed and Deeds that i had not performed . How many family members were still alive at that time, I was married, divorced, my daughter, my stepson, How many children my siblings had.
And Much more, Even the name of my girlfriend who was in my life at that time. A mind blowing experience that took more than 2 yrs to complete.

After the identification process was complete, the Naadi Priest accepted that those leaves belonged to me. And i could now have them read to me. 14 chapters in all. It is written in the leaves when you will come to the Naadi and whether you are allowed to have them read to you. I was so privileged that i still have a 15th chapter to be read to me, very rare, they said, when the time is right.


He proceeded to tell me about my past life in every detail. My sixth life here on earth, Where and when i was born, My family and members, What deeds i performed and what deeds i did not perform. What illnesses and when i died. And much more.

There was a fifty year gap from when i died in my last life and reborn in this life which they said is my 7th and my last. All sacred contracts will be complete in this life.

Them he read with my permission details of my future destiny in this life. He chanted while reading the ancient Tamil and it was translated by a family member. Part of one of the ceremonies was i had to hold in my hand the 2000yr old leaves that belonged to me.

I hope to return in the next couple of years to complete the process.

Thought i would share.

peace

Thanks for sharing this. You have had such an interesting life and done so many journeys. I read about your adventures in India, and also in Yugoslavia with great interest.
Didn't you once share a website here, or was it a blog?

I'm also sure that this is your last time here, but ultimately it is your own choice.
If you see a need that earth will benefit from further services from you, then you can return, if you want. That is the true freedom, when no one other than ourselves decides on our behalf.
But that freedom comes only after we learn to be givers instead of takers.

Some believe that only intense suffering will free them from the endless cycle of birth and rebirth, but I don't think that is necessary at all. In fact, it could be the kind of thing that was implanted by the Archons for their benefit. While a certain amount of suffering is inevitable, asceticism is unhealthy and useless. ( personal view)

Serving humanity, in whatever capacity will benefit the world is enough.
What counts is motive, and being of help to others to reduce ignorance.

I agree, After what i set out to do is complete i still have the free will choice to return or journey on. I think i will decide where i would be most useful after this life is complete.

To return or not to return that is the choice. :lol:

When i was travelling around India 12 years ago i was very honoured to be " Guided" to visit a Brahman Family that belonged to an ancient linage of the Naadi Shastra,

Thanks for sharing, billyji...wonderful story of 'connections" with the Naadi : )

I certainly can relate to the completion of sacred contracts...I have been shown the same in different ways in this life, it is exhilarating and humbling and puts me into 'active' selfless/grateful mode as much as possible!

Aho!

...
...and death? We are ALL Eternal Spirits : )

...but the $$$"mortgage"$$$ is about to die, it is no longer acceptable ethically : )

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.

I did not hug the gypsies.. I just said ''Look mom! People in costumes'' in french and they are the ones who hugged me... Stop inventing things

Here in my city, the manga comunity is very friendly. When we see manga fans, we go up to them and act like we have known each other for years. The comunity is very friendly and it is easy to meet amazing people and make geart friends. Of course there are some exceptions (some people in the community are not good people and we should be carefull)...

So Because the manga community is very friendly, we often give free hugs to our friends or to friend's of our friends. Alot of people wear costumes so we also give hugs when we see a costume we like. Anyways, all these super cool manga characters don't really exist... So when we see people wearing a costume of them, we at least like to pretend they exist. Here in my city, it is completely normal for cosplayers (people wearing manga costumes) to get free hugs.

I thought the manga community in London was the same but i guess I am wrong... Anyways! If the people didn't want a hug, they shouldnt have weared costumes!! Of course people wearing costumes of manga characters will get hugs from little kids!! (yes i am a little kid in this kind of situation)

Retail Marijuana Stores

Washington State approves 334 retail pot stores; 61 in King County

Revised state rules for a recreational marijuana system include the location of 334 retail pot stores, an overall cap on pot production and limits on concentrated ownership of pot stores, growing and processing facilities.

In rules approved this morning, the state Liquor Control Board capped total pot production at 40 metric tons, or roughly 25 percent of the total state market for legal recreational, medical and black-market marijuana.

The only state that I know of selling marijuana like liquor stores sell alcohol!

I am sure Washington state will become a destination location!! Lots of new tax revenue!

[thunder24]

does this mean 75% of the state doesn't get access... or after march every year no more legal cannabis ?

40 metric tons....:usa2: whats the population of Washington again....?

Oh my! I have missed all of you! It is canning season and it seems everything ripens at once. I did not realize this as this is my first year with a garden. You all will laugh but until I planted a garden this year I thought carrots, radishes and beets all grew in bunches like you get in the market. How disappointed I was to only pull one veggie per plant. So we had maybe two dozen radishes and one dozen beets but they were eaten up right away. No carrots though. The neighborhood rabbit ate them. Oh well he has to eat two.

I have one more bushel of peaches from the farmers market to can tomorrow and Saturday. Only ten dollars a bushel and I had twenty dollars in my wallet so I got two. What was I thinking! SO far we have plain canned peaches, peach rum sauce, and peach jam. Next it will be peach salsa, chutney and brandied peaches. Brandied peaches go in the closet with some sugar, spices and a fifth of brandy and get shaken about every night before I go to bed. Should be done by Christmas. The syrup is great in tea on those frosty nights when you want to relax with a hot toddy to warm you up.

The thing that surprises me about canning is you can work all day and only have 6-9 jars when you are finished. It is a long, slow process but I think it will be worth it in the winter. I must have been a prairie child in my past life because it feels very familiar.

Still I really miss you all and I have pages and pages of here and now to catch up on.

I wish we had a 3d village so we could all crack open a jar and have a taste!

Much love!

@Mini Flash, you are lucky to be an only child. When two children argue and the little one starts telling fibs (lies) and playing the victim, the Daddy can get it wrong and will hear all about it years later when they’re in their twenties :)

@heretogrow: the last time I heard about a bushel was as an eight-year-old in school. It sounded big then, and it sounds big now :)

Talking of alien abductions, my son’s political career so far has been a brief episode as a kid working unofficially for the unofficial MLNJ (Mouvement pour la Libération des Nains de Jardin), abducting garden gnomes. Unfortunately, he just dumped them at the bottom of our garden, and when I found them he just dumped them at the bottom of the nearest gnome lover’s garden. Reminds me of Stephen King’s Dome, where great havoc is caused by a bunch of other-dimensional kids having a bit of fun.

No jokes! I'm always telling people how they are neglecting their internet habits, sharing every piece of their life. I disconnected from social networks years ago, just saved my twitter account (no real name in there, no personal photos, no gps locations etc...)

Even that I feel worried about my entire life surfing the web without control. Gmail, eBay, PayPal, my Android phone connected and synced constantly, whatsApp chat... I use them all A LOT... Geez...

I always say to my friends with sarcasm: "Nothing happens by now, apparently... Yeah laugh my friend, just laugh..."


Peace! ;)

Oh, and regarding internet privacy... A few days ago I wanted to open a Flickr account to upload and share some of the pics I shot (I'm trying to learn a bit of photography) and they asked for my telephone number, as a mandatory field!!

Lyrics to a song Reilly posted


And sometimes when you're on you're really ** on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems ** cheap
And it teases you for weeks in its absence
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
And you'll be better you'll be smarter
More grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
And you'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
And you'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest you'll be brave
You'll be handsome you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them...


I'm still feeling it...

Faith is a funny thing, no? Faith is trusting that which one cannot see, cannot feel, cannot find using the five senses. Trust is greater than the five senses. It is stronger than the mountain it may move, though it is quieter than a whisper. The trick to finding faith is to quit looking around for it. It isn't out there. It is in here.

Notes to self.

Much Love,

Every week we go into Dallas. And every week there is someone who needs a hand, standing at this particular on ramp to the highway across from this particular convenience store. Always a different person.

Yesterday, it was an older black man, a little man with a scruffy white beard, relying on a cane to walk. And a tear fell down my face. Not in sadness, but because I finally lived to see the day. I was fourth in line at the light. And finally, after every week wishing this would happen, I watched as every car in front of me produced an arm outstretched to the soul in need.

And this man, when seeing my outstretched arm, made an effort to hurry. I told him, take your time. I will wait. And do you know what he said? "Bless you." Bless me? Bless me? I said, "you have blessed me."

As I remember this, I would like to bow at this man's feet. Bless me? Oh, honey, I am blessed beyond measure.

Much Love,

1inMany, not to spoil your lovely post in any way, but that is not the only reality of these guys, here in France at least. Some of them make a pretty decent living out of it - not that I would like to be in their shoes. They have their own patch and they work office hours, going back to a place laid on for them, and they may get some kind of benefit as well. My wife has passed the same man at the same light for years. You cannot be giving money all the time, but when the light is red, they have a bit of a chinwag, and he enjoys that, even though he knows it is a waste of time financially. Which is another way of showing how a little humanity goes a long way.

All true, araucaria. All true. But...Garth Brooks did a song a while back and the lyrics touch me every time I listen. I can't share it, of course, because he is such a marketing genius and might be a tad greedy (can't make the judgment, but I sure can wonder)...you can't find anything he has done, himself, free to share. Oh, it is called "The Change."

Here are the lyrics.


One hand
Reaches out
And pulls a lost soul from harm
While a thousand more go unspoken for
They say what good have you done
By saving just this one
It's like whispering a prayer
In the fury of a storm

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

This heart
Still believes
The love and mercy still exist
While all the hatred rage and so many say
That love is all but pointless in madness such as this
It's like trying to stop a fire
With the moisture from a kiss

And I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world will know
That it will not change me

As long as one heart still holds on
Then hope is never really gone

I hear them saying you'll never change things
And no matter what you do it's still the same thing
But it's not the world that I am changing
I do this so this world we know
Never changes me

What I do is so
This world will know
That it will not change me

So what I give, I give freely. What he does with it, I don't even care any more. It's more about me than him. I will continue to feed the little lost puppies, haha, and I will continue to give as wisely as I know how. There are a few kids at school that begin to take advantage of Em's giving nature, so I know this exists. But I will not close up because of it. I will just be careful.

:)

This is one of the most complex issues. To help people who are poor,
To help the needy, is the right thing to do.
But to beg for cash without offering anything in return, is wrong.
So this makes no sense, I know.
Most decent people when they become needy would not dream of becoming beggars.
Their dignity forbids it. And I think they have a better chance at true recovery than someone who begs.
But begging is lucrative, if you have a good spot, especially by a slow traffic light.
And once it is lucrative, it becomes addictive, and the beggar loses all possibility of spiritual growth.
So I haven't figured it out completely. On Wednesday we ignored a woman who came up to our car window....
Her vibes were just awful. She seemed healthy, too.

With the children it becomes more complex. We know that if they don't bring home a certain sum they often get beaten.
Sometimes I ask them why they are not in school. One six year old told me that the teachers are too strict, using the word 'exigente' which is rather a big word for someone so young, and uneducated.
Well, maybe street education is working for him better than school education.
It's so hard to judge. I used to wish I could live back in Europe, to escape the poverty here...
but I hear it has become just as bad there.
When I was in Toronto I saw endless homeless people, begging, while talking on cell phones.

But to beg for cash without offering anything in return, is wrong.
So this makes no sense, I know.
Most decent people when they become needy would not dream of becoming beggars.
Their dignity forbids it. And I think they have a better chance at true recovery than someone who begs.
But begging is lucrative, if you have a good spot, especially by a slow traffic light.
And once it is lucrative, it becomes addictive, and the beggar loses all possibility of spiritual growth.
So I haven't figured it out completely. On Wednesday we ignored a woman who came up to our car window....
Her vibes were just awful. She seemed healthy, too.

With the children it becomes more complex. We know that if they don't bring home a certain sum they often get beaten.
Sometimes I ask them why they are not in school. One six year old told me that the teachers are too strict, using the word 'exigente' which is rather a big word for someone so young, and uneducated.
Well, maybe street education is working for him better than school education.
It's so hard to judge. I used to wish I could live back in Europe, to escape the poverty here...
but I hear it has become just as bad there.
When I was in Toronto I saw endless homeless people, begging, while talking on cell phones.

Yes. Mother Teresa would not give charity, she gave opportunities for the poor to earn their keep. Short of being able to do this on a world-wide scale, we can only trust our instincts in given situations.

I'v got to ask, do Avalonians want to protect there info from non governmental hacks, or is it really from nsa, cia...etc.....?

I ask this cause I assumed ( like an a s s ) that the "they" and those "others" can see through walls, and monitor through cable boxes, and ip addressess... and those guys that stare at goats and such, to where if they want the info its already there....

beyond technology, we talk about humans and other beings have all these abilities... and it just makes me wonder what you guys really think, beyond the jokes of nsa and other alphabet soup companies.

I realize waving a red flag in a bulls face isn't wise... but is it naive to think "they" don't already have the info on you? Earth humans are mapping brainwaves.. what do "they" have the ability to do?

just some museings, and sirius contemplation

Since you asked:
Here is my advice. Do not give into fear.
Take responsibility for your own state, laugh at the bull...(though I don't like the image of bull and red cloth
as I feel bad about animal cruelty and wish for bullfights to end for good)

Look at what some really courageous people do...
for some reason they don't seem to worry about the agencies.
It is worth exploring why not. They face whatever comes.

Once you figure out what is worth protecting, on behalf of the highest plan,
then whoever made that plan will in turn protect you,
via direct guidance or by keeping you under the radar of the dark ones...
Or even making the dark ones trip up and fall over as their own devices start to malfunction.

Where focus goes, energy flows.

Was just now listening to the Gurdjieff talk. I am always amazed at how different the dedicated followers are, compared to me who just picks what I find useful, and discards the rest.

This man has Gurdjieff on such a high pedestal that he even knocks other valuable teachings, when in fact, Gurdjieff himself said at the end of his life that his teachings contained lots of errors.
It is my opinion that it did indeed do lots of good, some harm as well....inevitable, but in my case the symbol of the enneagram led to the Bahai nine-pointed star...which completed my search.

Now I am armed with the knowledge of Bahaullah, which gave a new system of government.
If and when a massive collapse of the fake NWO happens then together we can apply and imply the Bahai system and laws, which will stir humanity into a peaceful future, one where everyone can chip in, young and old, rich and poor alike.

[thunder24]

I always think of Brian O'Leary whenever I see 'news' about low cost Ryan O'Leary - Michael O'Leary CEO of Ryanair, who seems to have reached rock bottom and discovered that there are limits to what people will take.
http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/sep/20/ryanir-pissing-people-off-michael-oleary
The final straw seems to have been the leaking of the HR manager's instructions to pilots to stop taking enough fuel to be sure of arriving, and maybe an extra pint or two to be on the safe side, because it costs fuel to carry fuel. I kid you not.

Brian of course has nothing to do with this, on the contrary :)

I was just watching this wow video
the Hubble Deep Field in 3 D

Still feeling slightly dizzy, as I suffer vertigo.

http://www.deepastronomy.com/hubble-deep-field-3d.html
I once read somewhere about the number of galaxies in the universe: they meant to say 10^9, but it came out as 109. A nice small number for vertigo sufferers but rather precise. Of course the Big Bang theory works like that too. If you think the universe is less than fifteen billion years old, then galaxies like ours revolving about 4 times in a billion years can only have done about fifty revolutions. By way of comparison, fifty wheel rotations on a bike is a paltry hundred yards. And of course perfectly formed galaxies seen from 13 billion light years away have only done about half a dozen - your bike is hardly out of the driveway.

I feel slightly undizzy.

Besides that drumming under the harvest moon last night. And a guitar lesson today. Trying to plan out my first winter in Alaska in awhile. I will be going to CostaRica to see my friend Ulli. But this year I am not planning, i'm just going to wait till cabin fever sets in and then take off, I figure that gives me three or four months to get my $hit together.

No jokes! I'm always telling people how they are neglecting their internet habits, sharing every piece of their life. I disconnected from social networks years ago, just saved my twitter account (no real name in there, no personal photos, no gps locations etc...)

Even that I feel worried about my entire life surfing the web without control. Gmail, eBay, PayPal, my Android phone connected and synced constantly, whatsApp chat... I use them all A LOT... Geez...

I always say to my friends with sarcasm: "Nothing happens by now, apparently... Yeah laugh my friend, just laugh..."

Today, as I was in the elevator going to the doctor office, a man got in and started to talk with a women in front of me, they knew each other. He was telling how terrible it was, he was just back from the Credit check companies (2 in Montreal having all the corporate customers) because he has 35 credit cards given to someone, he had 3 bank accounts opened, 3 morgage request in three different banks, checks being made, all in his name, within a few days, he said it was really fast. He also had to go repetitively to the police station. He had his identity stolen, and he does not know how it happened.

Really can happen to anyone, easily.

Last week my buddy called to say it looked likely he'd be out on the street in five days time. Being a man of his word, he promised to move out by mid-month and so even though he could not find another place to live he was determined to move. No amount of teaching him the ropes of how to use the law to his advantage, as renters have all the power, could get him to stay put until he found a new home. By the time he called me he was desperate and scared.

He asked if I would help him. I said I wouldn't know how. He said you got an in with God, say a prayer for me. So that nite, I said a prayer for my friend.

The next day, last Friday, he called me back to say he had lucked out and found a place that just came on the market that morning. Without going into details suffice it to say that quite a string of coincidences occured for him to have seen the ad and then be chosen from amongst the several applicants. At the end of the phone call he thanked me. I asked what for. He said for putting in a good word with the Big Guy. I said that wasn't me, all I did was put in your request like you asked me to, the rest was all you. He asked what I meant. I said that there were very few I knew personally more worthy of a quick big helping hand than you. He thanked me again just the same.
By the way, his new place is almost identical to his old place but half the rent and he has the entire basement for his own personal workshop. The main floor of an old Victorian home, the going rate is on average about $1700 (he had been paying $1600) and he got it for $950! Less than I pay for a two bedroom apartment in the slums. I'm so happy for him - and he is ecstatic.

I honestly do not feel I did anything. I prayed, asked for help for one in need and forgot about it. Nice to see that God takes care of God's own.

So thank God so he can thank you in that very special way only our Source can manage with such grace and ease!

[Flash]

This is a beautiful video Ulli.

I was astonished. At 1:39 minutes, there is some kind of crystal tubes hanging from the sky, beautiful. What astonished me is that I had seen the same after my dad's passing away. He came to me in a dream, we drove in his car, the same he had when I was five and that he liked so much, he drove in sand dunes up to a place where those crystal were hanging down. He tried to explain something to me relating to it, science like, but I do not remember exactly. I had never seen those structures hanging - although I had seen crystal structures of many kinds, but not presented that way.

Ouf, I miss my dad.

He came one time after that dream to have his death revised (I was the last one with him), making sure he had not scared me.

Then the last time he came, he was sitting in a chair, just looking at me, and all of a sudden I was immerse in a bath of love, every single cell of me. Very transformative, it did change my vision of life.

I watched Nanoo’s vid (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?63568-Healing-Secrets-by-Lindsey-Williams&p=732672&viewfull=1#post732672), also added below.

Even thought Lindsey Williams tends to repeat and run long on points, it’s worth a listen.

Your husband being a doctor, his critical scientific mind would have a real time looking through this as well. There is really good and scientifically sound material there. It seem that hashich oïl and black salva help when spread on the ulcers. For inner metastase, there is a clinic in Toronto that I will call on Monday with a treatment that has incredible results, given on compassionate grounds since no Big Pharma want to make the studies because it won't give a Financial return.

There is also what Nanoo suggested that is Worth looking at, and there is another clinic somewhere in the USA that I had seen years ago and have to find out.

In favor of the apricot kernels:



Did you know that cancer defends itself against attacks? How does Laetrile Kill Cancer Cells?

Tumors can become resistant to chemotherapy, radiation or whatever else you throw at it. It would make sense that if you could dismantle cancer's defenses, you could then take it out, right? What are the ways that cancer defends itself? One way is that tumors encapsulate themselves with blood vessels that are so restricted that antitumor agents can't get through. Another way is that tumors amass high concentrations of a substance called glutathione. Glutathione is the element that makes tumors resistant to treatment. Is there a way to lower the levels of glutathione in tumors so that they would become sensitized to anticancer treatments? The answer is yes. For glutathione to be produced in the cells, it needs another substance called cysteine.


Is there a way to lower the level of Cysteine?

Yes. Cyanide depletes the supply of cysteine.



Isn't cyanide a poison?

Cyanide is toxic to our body but it will not make us sick in very low doses derived from a whole food source. You eat cyanide-rich food everyday if you eat apricots, pineapples, apples, or any of the other thousand cyanide-toting foods found in nature. The cyanide in these foods is present in a nutrient called amygdalin. Amygdalin can release cyanide within malignant cells, depleting the supply of cysteine. As a result, the intracellular concentration of glutathione is diminished. This will sensitize the tumors to antitumor treatments including Ozone therapy, Lymphocyte treatments, and high dose vitamin-C. http://www.oasisofhope.com/laetrile-therapy.php


Apricot kernels are not a treatment as such but prepare the ground for other treatments to be effective, otherwise, treatments in cancer are often ineffective.

[araucaria]

Amygdalin sounds as though it should be produced by the tonsils?

And on another request I have an amazing friend that had a liver transplant ten years ago. And she has always lived each day as a gift. Her husband and her had decided to move to Arizona and flew up to Alaska to sell their house. Five days after they arrive my friend goes into Kidney failure.(due to anti rejection drugs from her liver transplant) She is now at home on Dialysis. Her husband was diagnosed with an incurable stomach cancer last year. They both cannot work and now may be stuck in Alaska for the entire winter. Please pray that they maintain their positive attitudes, their love of life that they have enough food to eat, enough money to buy wood, groceries and pay for the medicine they both need and the fortitude to make it thru the winter, it can be harsh but more so when you are confined to a 14x14 cabin.

I am truly humbled and ashamed that I focus on such small things when some people are confronting burdens and circumstances so daunting. So love for two awesome friends.Steve and Talyne.

Also a prayer for my friend Tom who has a tumor that has clamped his mouth down onto his tongue necessitating a trachea and a feeding tube. Who although cannot talk (his tongue is too swollen) he has to write, has an attitude that would humble most humans and an outlook of victory in the process.

I've had several friends die in the last couple of months and as I just stated some friends in really tough situations. I feel the lesson is, how do we deal with our possible imminent death. Do we go out weakly drugged or wide awake and ready for whatever happens next in the great adventure savoring each day as if it is our last because it possibly could be.

It has 3 levels pf PH 8.5, 9 and 9.5. It restores the moleculestructure from pentagonal to hexagonal which makes it carry more oxygen and also microclusters the water back to 3-5 molecules which makes it enter your sells, increasing detox of waste products and maximizes nourishment intake.

@Jiminii, my husband grew up in the tropics and has the most sensitive skin of all his siblings.
So he suffered terrible sunburns all throughout his childhood which are the reason
why he is now getting these outbreaks. He is convinced of this.
Costa Rica is just 10 ' north of the equator, and also the thinner air at these high altitudes
mean that one is constantly subjected to overdoses of radiation.

Yes, we are both firm believers in this theory, and are drinking water with baking soda.
Also eat lots of raw veggies, organic whenever possible. My garden is not doing as well as I hoped, my thumb ain't green enough. But the trees we have planted four years ago are already bearing fruit, such as soursop, oranges and limes. Expecting our fist avocado harvest next year. We will get prime health back soon.
For the astrologically minded, husband had Uranus square Mercury when this started...now fading.

Since his Mercury was in Capricorn and Capricorn rules the skin (as well as bones) and the house position was the sixth, which rules health, this Uranus transit (Uranus is the waker-upper) sent him a clear message, "Physician, heal thyself".

Good morning villagers!!!

I forgot to mention, remember back in the Charles era, how I was out planting avocado seeds because I didn't want people starving? I drove by it last week, and there are hundreds of waist high plants, a huge grove that should be producing in the next few years. they pulled all of them planted by the highway, and lost another huge section in a new housing development. But smack dab in the center of suburbia, in a huge field of scrub grass, these plants are thriving... It never rains, there are no sprinklers, and yet these trees look green and healthy...


I was awake for hours as the noise didn't let me sleep. Now it feels as if a spell was broken.


I took out another MK sat last night, they were turning them up again, and it was affecting my friend.

everyone keep your 3rd ears open to listen for frequencies hitting those around you...

being part of the Avalon collective, we seems to all shield each other, but those not connected are who we need to be watching for changes.

take care all, back to my hammock... :wizard:

they tried something new as an experiment with Avalon...

many of our key members have been feeling euphoric... extremely happy, recent pain has passed...

at the same time they are blasting those outside of our group...

were they seeing if we would respond if all of us were feeling good, not in defense mode from attacks?

They even hit us over a Full moon instead of a new moon...

testing...

the New Mayan calendar has begun, the darkness should have passed but we are allowing them to continue controlling us, their toys taken from ETs to use for their nefarious plots...

we are from the bloodlines of the Gods who strolled this planet, we make changes with a sweep of our hand, our thoughts creating reality, standing together, we have no weaknesses

sure our vessels may by going to pot, but our Spirits have been in this battle since the beginning, good never loses to evil, but we like to let them think they have a chance, just to yank the rug out from under them in the end...

So, I have both moon and pluto in scorpio, and they're "conjunct", although I haven't read too much about aspects yet.

That could explain a lot. :rolleyes:

Studying this stuff on my own does seem to help make better sense of the puzzle pieces given by a website like cafe astrology.


Gekko, you just made my day with this post. I love it when people click, and learn to think with the astro language.

Scorpio is the deepest sign of all, think deep space.
The moon is emotions, responses, sleep, dreams, motherhood, nurturing, the apartment, the dining table, the stove, hotels, restaurants, and at the cosmic level the home to which we return... like heaven. So when the moon is in Scorpio the need for the above things is very intense, or you may not ever get to optimal functioning levels. Protect your private space, your recuperation processes, and you will then perform in life like a rocket.
The fact that Pluto was next to the moon as well, emphasizes what I just said even further, since Pluto rules Scorpio.
Studying this stuff and gaining self understanding will give you the wings you need to become the Phoenix that you are.

This interview may be of interest to those students of Alchemy

DvbSb3rNBPI


Talks about my favorite topics. Explains real integrity.
All my thoughts expressed in slightly different words so I highly recommend this interview.
Maybe it should even have a thread of its own. Thank you, Astrid. Great find.

I was involved with the Ormus community. There are some real alchemists there. This was a very fine interview. I am detached form Ormus or any one "substance or method". I believe we no longer need methods. If we use methods, they are symbols to us of an underlying relationship we have with "who we are and who loves us"... Here and now i am feeling strong on this and want to state a case for how visceral God feels to me. I feel the One is shouting "Yippee" because:

In this new earth, all healing is Self Healing and we are already always saved. We have people to look upon as wayshowers who lived recently displaying the means to have every conceivable sense of life refreshing itself. There is not just one experience in the world but similar qualities reveal a similar “Law”. The solution for all kinds of seeming peoblems is not to pour over recipe books but become a chef using techniques to make new dishes.

Like the song...
“Mama may have and Papa may have but God Bless the Child who's got her own”
This is IT... the time for receiving the new dispensations!!

Recently I was given an old book by ruth montgomery “Born to heal”. It was about a man she called Phil A. (a pseudanym) who had uncanny “magnetic” healing abilities. There was more to his story as was glimpsed in bits and pieces. He was channeling information inclusing such “bits” as the true function of the organs like the heart (NOT a pump). He died in 1975 and I was able to find out from Google that he was Bill Gray and more information. One of the important factors is that he could not teach others how to do what he was able to do. He could share energy healing and information.

http://www.pathwaysforhealing.com/nsewsummary

I am adding him to a short list of contemporary American exemplars in the 20th century

Bill Gray
George Washington Carver
Luther Burbank
Victor Schauberger
Walter Russell
Lester Levenson

This short list of American mystics were all connected intimately to a personal relationship with ??????? They had intimacy with MAGNIFICENT force (maybe call it Spirit) that in each case they credited to being the Source for their knowledge.

I would highly recommend that we immerse ourselves in hearing all the stories of extraordinary contact with spirit. Their Relationship taught them, encouraged them, healed them at times, healed others at times, brought “new refreshment” to them and through them.

Maybe one could call their capacity hearing higher mind. I think they achieved spreading a wave forward that is our major responsibility this moment. People are being asked to turn around and RELATE to the innate information and power that comes from inside out.

I am certain many many others could be added but these gentlemen were set apart from “GURUs” being that they achieved a cooperation with larger dimensions of context, great power of ideas and ideals and great capacity as artists, healers, magicians, scientists. They were revealed by their gifts (fruits). AND these forerunners are evidence to us about “Where DO we turn to bring all the genius needed FORWARD? It happens through equality and cooperation, not worship and power over.

The gifts we can find from these humans left in our world are immense and we could study these works as evidence. We could also study the nature of energy and frequency. I think this is a natural and deeper facility that we are heirs and have rights to access. But only if we can establish the rapport. One may notice that many of these people met the power as children through time in nature.

They were able to bridge matter and spirit.
They were not in awe but a friend and ally to higher mind.
They went to the frequency of being in rapport with new information that was useful to the world.

WE are not ever alone here in a wee body but we have intimacy just holding its hand out and all the comfort, healing and wisdom ever desired by turning in.

WE have been messing around with projecting out and we need to turn around and send what we have been tempted to deflect OUT to the inner BEING and relax into a similar frequency. There we can receive a message that we can then act on.

All we see around us of what we have changed in a natural world. We were given the chance to play and all we made is certainly what we have requested in the past.

It winds down in a repetititive and sickly dying because it has no vital connection with the “black hole Sun” of inner LIFE. That is so we learn what is Life full and where to find our creative vitality. This is by sharing with Source.

Source wants to know we know Source. It's a sharing of our return gift that the One wants...US. The One wants us to know we may give all that and it will be beloved. So much clear space when all we carried is just give away to where it is wanted.

Deep down within waits the door and the arms of Source. It is home there. It is really really a place to go. It is REALLY REAL.

The One is asking for the burdens we have carried day after day. We hide because we think what we honestly have to give is shallow and stupid. The magic is that Source will enjoy all our dramatic inpouring of gimcrack, gimcrackery, folderal, nonsense, and fake ornamentation.

In return we receive GOLD. It's just marvelous as we give the gift we were afraid was not requested. Humorously pleased, we will feel with the glow from Source..
This is a brilliant cooperation chieved.

Gaia is there in that frequency.
Gaia is laughing because she is is happy.
When we get ready, we will just relax.
That is just what happens eventually.
These men I listed when studied will all show the results of trusting that the Universe is personal, kind, forgiving and MIGHTY PLEASED with US.

The Following User Says Thank You to Rocky_Shorz For This Post:
ulli (Today)

P.S. I only vaguely remember the frog butts, as that conversation is too long ago,
but I do clearly remember the beaver butts. You weren't around then.
Would anyone like to fill Rocky in on Carmody's discovery re beaver butts?

well I got one more week of school then have to go find another job to save up enough for the airplane ticket. But this time I will travel light. Leave all the synthesizers .....
hmm they are small can probably bring the synthesizers and leave the desktop computers and only bring the hard drives. Also leave the Language books and I some how remember how to sell ice cream to spanish people from an ice cream truck so I am all set to change languages, (wish I had one of those machines on the UFO that can inspire an entire earth language in to me in 17 hours.

You made me think...
I must have manifested my husband to get me out of Barbados.
He applied to practice medicine there,
but the medical association refused him.
But I could have sworn that I wanted to stay in Barbados....
Until we understand all of the forces latent within our subconscious we will never know all the answers...
If then. Nor will we ever know who amongst us is strongest at manifesting their hearts desires....
Such is the mystery of life.
For now the philosophy I go by is "Go with the flow, until you hit a wall,
then struggle with all your might."

that seems to be the same thing with me and thailand. It seems Thailand wants me to be here. I keep getting more and more people come on my lines suddenly that more or less spiritually somehow want me here.

I think it is true too, because when I stopped the Vietnamese from attacking Thailand by flooding the borders I had realized that the cabal had an intention of taking it all here, and I KNEW for some reason WE CAN't LOSE THAILAND.

so I will get another job and all this should be over this year and I should have the money to get the ticket too..

But at least I know where I am going now.

Phoenix

Right now I'm wearing a shirt that has a multicolored silhouette of a bird with its wings outstretched towards the sky. I think it's an eagle, but when people see it their first impression is of a phoenix. A reading that I had mentioned that my spirituality is phoenix-like.

At 18, during my long stay in hospitals, one incident that left me unconscious for three days has always stuck out in my mind as being a major turning point in my life. After that incident I was no longer actively interested in annihilating myself. I found more reasons to live, and eventually I left the ward even though I was scared s***less of everything.

Wherever I was during that time, there were always major helpers. Like the girl who sat outside my door while I was unconscious, watching my aura, as she later told me. Or the staff member who dared hug me even though it was rabidly against the rules. I remember her standing across from me in the hall, looking at me with the most vigorous caring and compassion in her eyes. Or the one who pulled me by my ankles out of bed and into the milieu when I didn't want to move.

No matter what's happened since then, I've known that death isn't an option. I walked that way and saw as much as I needed to, I think.

I'm ready for transformations in my person that don't involve so much destruction, if in any way possible. It seems (as always?) to depend on how willing I am to trust and let go of everything I'm used to.


"Go with the flow, until you hit a wall,
then struggle with all your might."

That's what water does, huh? Flowing sinuously back and forth down the path of least resistance until it reaches a dam or a waterfall, then taking a leap.

For Rocky Shorz, here the information Carmody has found about beavers and vanilla flavor


If stories about gross foods make you queasy, you may want to click away now. (May we suggest this adorable video about an elephant and dog who are best friends.)

If you have a hearty constitution and are still with us, we commend you. Consider yourself forewarned.

Recently, The Swedish National Food Agency confirmed what's long been a rumor on the internet: Anal secretions from beavers can be used as a vanilla-like flavoring in food.

The beaver's anal gland secretes Castoreum which can be used as a food additive. http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/news/beaver-anal-secretions-vanilla-substitute-some-foo/nZy6P/

[yukondiva]

There are many reasons I posted this video. One is I recently rented an apartment to a young inuit family, the husband is head of the village whaling boat. I know killing whales bad. But these people live in the most hostile place on earth. This year they caught one whale in May( not the season they usually go for whales, this month is when thry would begin their hunting) the whole village is involved as a matter of survival.When a pound of hamburger is $25 a gallon of milk $10 you see why they fought to be able to carry on traditional subsistance hunting.

The whale caught in may was not able to be harvested fast enough and rotted on the beach. Now the season is here and they have not caught food for the winter. They live off caribou and walrus also. But like the polar bears they can no longer hunt walrus because you lay on the sea ice, wich is now gone even into winter.

Generations of fetal alcohol syndrome has basically destroyed their original spiritual customs and any one under 80 is either FAS or an alcholic. However the young man that moved here has a dream of one day going back to the village to try to help his village and he knew he had to come out to the "other world" I see hope in this young man and hope he can accomplish his goal.

And what I find amazing about the video of the elders and the pole shift is that none of them have been to college probably not even highschool, some have never left the village. But as a tribe that lives so close to light and dark they know something is going on, I have no idea how they came up with a polar shift. But about five years ago all the directions on the airport in Anchorage had to be changed due to planes flying off course. There was a small article in a local paper but no big news that it was so drastic. Living close to nature day to day gives you a knowledge most other worlders would never understand.


And here is a video of the elders speaking about pole shifts
