Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

I was thinking about understanding. How we understand things and how when we don't understand things we use a familiar route to come to understanding.

This started when after a couple of alarm clock snoozes I was having breakfast and heard it go off again (apparently I pressed snooze instead of off). I have it set on radio (and not that annoying beep). And I came in the room and a lady sang "one more time" and I started thinking of these synchronicities and how they can possibly be arranged to match.

How can you have an independent radio station match a situation like this so precisely? How do situations meet to fit or not fit each other? Why do they behave like that?

Are there poles of attraction at work, like magnets? Do certain combinations attract each other. I was trying to get an idea of the algorithm of it because surely, all things have some type of understanding to them.

At the end of this day I must conclude that although I could continue thinking about it, I may not find the answer and if I don't I can take peace with the idea that not all things need full apprehending. I can also just greatly value and enjoy it. (but knowing myself, I will still think about it)

Too bad PurpleLama isn't around to explain it all to you, Violet.

.................

I could continue thinking about it,

Don't think about, but feel about, and yes, I feel that that's what you have done, else you would probably not have reached this point, but its sounds alien to say: I could continue feeling about it, in writing :)

Much love Johnny

This was not supposed to be an update, I don't know what happen :)

Hello beautiful villagers ...

Wishing you all a good Winter Solstice. In US central time zone, it happens tomorrow at 11:11 AM.

I'm counting down one more hour and I'll be on vacation from 9-5 for two weeks. Got everything sorted for a clean start in January.

My son and his wife and two grandsons are arriving tomorrow for Christmas. The little ones and I have a gingerbread house to construct and crafts to make.

Violet, thinking about your attraction ideas ... I agree that not everything needs apprehending, at least not until it's time to understand. Sometimes it has taken me months and years to fully realize why something happened as it did. Sometimes knowing is bittersweet, but more and more, I want to know truth.

1inMany, much love and peace to you and your family.

Wishing love & peace for us all.

Getting back to the idea of being a fuzzy holographic shard. A mini-whole, but fuzzy.

A neuron, if you will.

Now..how does a consciousness.....grow? How does it maintain itself?

Consciousness is not a 'thing', and don't forget the subconsciousness. But forget all what you have been told about the subconsciousness :) The consciousness is what we are aware of (IMO) :)

Johnny

I was always struck by Gurdjieff's teachings that consciousness was a commodity...
that there might only be a limited amount available to any given person.
Now I'm still wondering...seeing how hard it is to guide others to higher consciousness.

"Ouspensky stressed that the spiritual evolution of man was a commodity. Evolution was only possible because of its benefit to higher cosmoses. In the greater universal scheme of things, there existed a general downward movement of growth: perpetual physical expansion of the universe, suns giving birth to planets who give birth to moons and so forth. Parallel to this broad way, there existed a narrow way of upward movement against the stream. This was the path to consciousness, and this accounted for why spiritual evolution was so rare and difficult.

Ouspensky repeatedly stressed the difficulties and challenges of awakening. He repeatedly outlined the many pitfalls along the path, and indeed, saw many of his students stumble through them. But in view of the great things at stake, and the magnitude of the reward, he continued his own path along the Fourth Way, and did his best to inspire and instruct those around him willing to follow."

Man !!! You are quick Ulli :) :)

but Hmmmm.. That was what Ouspensky meant about it ??? where are you ?? what perspective do you have ?? :)

Supposed I was too quick :) :) What about, if there is no higher consciousness, but 'only' consciousness which IMO is the same as awareness ?

There is a higher consciousness in me today than there was fifty years ago, so consciousness is relative.
But still, having seen many people sink to a lower level than where they started out,
I don't dismiss the possibility that it is a fixed commodity.

When I was a teen I had a yearning to see the bigger world,
of which I had had zero awareness a few years before then.

That yearning helped me manifest many experiences and other cultures.
And then, twenty years ago, I had an awareness of belonging to the human race...
until in 1994 I found evidence that there are beings beyond our planet.
But I settled for solidarity with humans, dead and alive. For the time being.

So I consciously dropped all traces of elitism, which had been a part of me until then...
and so I joined the 99%, while still trying to understand the 1% and their motives.

Anyway, this awareness of belonging to the human race kick-started a new agenda within me,
one I am still pursuing now.

Being able to distinguish between people's behavior as being due to cultural
as well as astrological influences helped me create bridges between them and myself.

I believe today that the highest consciousness to which one can attain is that of serving others
who are also willing to give service, in whatever capacity they have,
a service which is to maintain a state of balance between the individual and the collective
as well as the planet as a whole. But different laws apply to different levels of being,
and my general direction is to become free from restrictive laws, although I believe that such freedoms have to be earned.
Not everyone is willing to pay the price.

Have you considered that they might have gone to the same kind of school. Incl. follow the leader and all that stuff.

Alrightie then. A mite heavy?

Something from The Duck side...

.. ..


couldn't have said it better myself....
I don't really know what duck dynasty is.

Someone emailed me that, and I watched it just before I posted it.

As for neurons.

How do you help a neuron become. to become more, to work within, to be more connected. To be a function within that universal hologram/consciousness. Growth in universal connection, as an individual neuron, with many connections, many levels of growth and having grown into.

One could atrophy and disconnect, or move toward more connection and growth.

It's to do with curiosity, the drive to find solutions, the thrill of novelty and adventure.
That's how I knitted my life. Knitting, weaving, knotting, threading,
making neuronic necklaces instead of neurotic dog collars.

the good news is the flexibility of the brain, or of our human / universal organisations, and their relative simplicity, and also, once organised and installed, their robustness, and also therefore the relative inability to change (always getting back to the originally formed pattern)..

Update on husband's father... he is starting to eat again, slowly.
My husband spent the night with him,
in an armchair, next to his bed.
Birthday party is cancelled, however.
I really would like to see him fully recovered.
Husband has started to use the MicroMat on him,
so it is no longer just 'My Thing', as it was before.
My son, on the other hand, gets upset
if I only as much as mention anything 'fringe' to him.

I was talking to my aunt the other day and thought I'd share with all of you the conversation:

Me: I think that there is so much misunderstanding between men and women.
Aunt: Well, that's because women are so much smarter than men.
Me: (jokingly) Then why is it that when women are together, all that they tend to talk about is shopping and cutesy animals!
Aunt (seriously) Well that's intentional, because we want all the men to either leave the room or fall asleep so we can talk about more serious things...
Me: (dumbfounded)...
Aunt: ...like astrophysics and global domination...
Me: ...
Aunt: And it works every time!

I'll let this one sink in for a bit here. Oh Women! You never cease to fascinate me...:)

A poem for you, fair Maidens:

Sonnet XL
William Shakespeare

Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all:
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call—
All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.
Then if for my love thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;
But yet be blamed if thou this self deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robb’ry, gentle thief,
Although thou steal thee all my poverty;
And yet love knows it is a greater grief
To bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury.
....Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
....Kill me with spites, yet we must not be foes.

Oh dear. Another one who found out now. Naughty auntie....




Aunt: And it works every time!
It seems to have worked this time at any rate. Or did you overcome your dumbfoundedness and ask your aunt what she thought astrophysics had to do with global domination? I'm not falling asleep :)

She wouldn't elaborate anymore! We'll never know...

Another experience:

I texted my dad yesterday (who lives about a thousand miles away form me):

"You can see Venus in the night sky. Ask Mom if she misses her home planet."

He replied:

"She might zap me with her venisoris you ask her your safer over there."

:)

I bet your auntie and your dad are on this forum and you don't even know hi hi hi!

[dan33]

I was talking to my aunt the other day and thought I'd share with all of you the conversation:

Me: I think that there is so much misunderstanding between men and women.
Aunt: Well, that's because women are so much smarter than men.
Me: (jokingly) Then why is it that when women are together, all that they tend to talk about is shopping and cutesy animals!
Aunt (seriously) Well that's intentional, because we want all the men to either leave the room or fall asleep so we can talk about more serious things...
Me: (dumbfounded)...
Aunt: ...like astrophysics and global domination...
Me: ...
Aunt: And it works every time!

I'll let this one sink in for a bit here. Oh Women! You never cease to fascinate me...:)

A poem for you, fair Maidens:

Sonnet XL
William Shakespeare

Take all my loves, my love, yea, take them all:
What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
No love, my love, that thou mayst true love call—
All mine was thine before thou hadst this more.
Then if for my love thou my love receivest,
I cannot blame thee for my love thou usest;
But yet be blamed if thou this self deceivest
By wilful taste of what thyself refusest.
I do forgive thy robb’ry, gentle thief,
Although thou steal thee all my poverty;
And yet love knows it is a greater grief
To bear love’s wrong than hate’s known injury.
....Lascivious grace, in whom all ill well shows,
....Kill me with spites, yet we must not be foes.

Oh dear. Another one who found out now. Naughty auntie....

These are some pet-peeves of mind, but I think that they are worth mentioning:

you're= you are

i.e. You're correct in saying that Bill Ryan will eat his hat one day.

your= possession

i.e. Your theory that Bill Ryan will eat his hat one day is likely to occur.


it's= it is

It's likely that Bill Ryan will eat his hat one day.

its= possession

Bill Ryan is terrified of the day that he will eat his hat because of its texture.

I had a new experience today. I experienced the eye of the tornado, while everyone else was being swept away in the sh!tstorm.

How odd.

I saw Little One briefly. K has apparently disowned us all. Mike is quite good at slinging mud. And that's that.

Huh. May I just say what a relief this is? Oh, not the sh!tstorm, but remaining in the center. Knowing that all is playing out according to plan. That there will be emotions tied to these events, and they will move on through. And if they get stuck, I will get some help moving them on through. Either way, the eye is where to be.

Much Love,

JUST DESSERTS
A funny story about the human spirit and our need to be just.
My grand daughter works at a banquet hall. You know big weddings, parties and such. Well, a few days ago she was serving a party. There was a very generous dessert table.
One of the managers set aside four of the cakes that the people who had booked the party purchased. Worth about $200.00.
The dessert table was running low, and the wife inquired where was the rest of the dessert, ie the fancy cakes.
Now my grand daughters sense of justice kicked in. Her and another waitress made sure that the four hidden cakes were served.
She only felt a wee bit bad because she would not get to see the face of the manager when she (the manager) realized they were not where she had hid them.

hummmm, very interesting. NOW I understand the use of Capitals in English. I am still always mixed up with Capitals in English. Very difficult for me since there is very few usage of Capitals in French. I never understood the logic, or lack of, behind it. I must not have been taught properly at school, English classes - in fact I haven't, I could barely speak like a pidgeon it when out of high school.

My spell checker is innefficient, I often catch its mistakes, and the switching from French to English seems to play havoc with it. Microsoft has to work on developing something more efficient for multi language users.

Use of capitals has nothing to do with disambiguation. English is probably the most ambiguous language going. I think it's copied from the Germans, who capitalize everything, but as usual less efficiently.

When the guru sat down to worship each evening, the ashram cat would get in the way and distract the worshipers. So he ordered that the cat be tied during evening worship.

After the guru died the cat continued to be tied during evening worship. And when the cat died, another cat was brought to the ashram so that it could be duly tied during evening worship.

Centuries later learned treatises were written by the guru’s disciples on the religious and liturgical significance of tying up a cat while worship is performed.

This Christmas is tough, for everyone in my family; my husband and his mother and eight siblings,
as the old family patriarch is fighting for his life.
I remember the anxiety I felt before my father succumbed to his cancer in 1980.
Praying for the old man to pull through. He now has Pluto conjunct his Mercury...
Which means whatever he decides will happen. Should he decide to live a little longer, he will.
None of us are ready to lose him yet.....

Hello to everyone in the village! I have been so far away... not on purpose, and I have missed you all. I got a sinus infection the day after thanksgiving and I let it get so bad that I had to take antibiotics. This made me more ill in my opinion. After two days of rest and trying to take the time out to recover I jumped in to getting ready for the Christmas holiday.

Three years ago I moved in with the Christmas Madame, my mom. After hauling out ten bins of outside Christmas decorations from storage, and sixteen bins of inside decorations from the attic I am almost finished decorating. I never really appreciated her extravagance, and kind of always thought of it as a lesson in excess and "the sin of having too much stuff." I have really come to appreciate her knack for wanting to transform this place into a holiday village.

This place is magical! Instead of resenting all of the stuff as I have in the past, I decided to look at this task with new eyes and see it for what it is in her eyes. She sees it as a gift from a hostess who loves tradition to all of her anticipated guests for their enjoyment. So I have cleaned and polished and mended and fixed as many things as I could have in this past month. I am secretly so happy and relieved it will all be over in a day or so.

I have noticed in this effort to put stuff in the upmost important position in life that my spiritual, intuitive, much loved, sacred side of me that is connected with all and feels it makes a difference has vanished. So I consider this time spent doing this as a lesson learned. The lesson, gifting people with doing and providing for them that which they cherish but no longer can do for themselves for the sake of an age-old tradition, may be worth all of the strife if it brings a smile, a familiarity, and a connection to the past in their last years. So this season I lost my touch as empathic intuitive for a whole month to bring my dear old mom, and dad (who is really not as smitten by all of the holiday hype, but appreciates it in the joy that it brings her) a Christmas to remember.

The sad thing is I know that next year, one or both of them may not be with us. They both struggle every day.

So as much of a pain as it was to switch gears and deal with "stuff" I am thankful that I was able to give this gift of "doing" what my folks are no longer able to do, even if all of this stuff doesn't feel right to me and makes me feel unconnected. I have a great appreciation in my heart for my parents, even though I can't embrace all of their stuff. It makes them feel happy.

I love you all from the bottom of my heart and I wish you all Happy holidays and a WONDERFUL new year!!!

Much Love, The Stuff Shuffler,
Julia

Okay ... serious question this time (gasp goes through the crowd).

Mostly pointed at Carmody and Purple based on some of their previous posts (but anyone, of course, is welcome to chime in).


Since there seems to be enough "evidence" to ponder about the multidimensionals tampering with not only channeling but after death happenings as well ... can anyone explain to me why meditation is exempt from such???

Obviously with channeling you are inviting someone in ... but that isn't the case when we die.

Is there any reason to believe mediatation is beyond such interference???

Ulli, my sister is a nurse. She loves geriatrics. So most of the time she works in a nursing facility. She has seen many people pass. She has held many hands as this event occurred. I have been to many funerals. But I have not yet been with a person who was about to leave this earthly life.

She says it is beautiful. The person who is close to exiting say things to her they will not speak in front of family. She tells me they hang on waiting for those who need to say goodbye. Sometimes days.

My sis says most if not all see angels and family members and friends waiting for them. Sometimes, she has been alone with the person. They will hold her hand and actually ask, if they can leave now.

When your father in law is ready, he will leave.

My love and support for your family.

Hi Calzie, wrong timezone for your main targets, let me have a go while they slumber on. I see how multidimensionals behave from the way they have negative humans behave. It's mostly blackmail. They lure you into compromising situations and then they've got you. You need to be squeaky clean and they can't do anything to you. If you're not squeaky clean then you need to be squeaky honest and clear the slate that way. If channelling is inviting in, then death is like being invited out, you need to choose your friends wisely. If the hasn't always been the case, then now is the time to make sure that if we come back again, it is because we choose to. Earth may seem an evil place, but there is plenty of room to do and be good. Similarly above: the lie is that they've got it all stitched up.

I would wish a happy Christmas to everyone, but I'm thinking of all those whose material needs are not being met to the point of making that possible. Let's just be glad we have come mostly unscathed through another year full of all kinds of catastrophic threats. Do we even remember the widespread flooding remote viewed for June, the grid shutdown drill expected to be a false flag in November, or the havoc caused by Comet Ison?

Today is the last day of the solstice. Tomorrow the light will be slightly stronger for slightly longer - for most of us anyway :)

Been awake since 3 AM which was two hours ago. When not reading, I was just observing my breath, and feeling grateful for being healthy. So I was sending energy to my sleeping husband, who is not only attending his ailing father, alternating with night shifts with the other brother who is also a doctor, and also during the day seeing patients at his office. So he needs the support of 'doctor's wife'. (Only women who know what it is like to be married to a doctor know what I mean by that, sigh...)
It is incredible how the family have all come together...everyone is so loving and sharing their strengths. I must mention the youngest sister, who is doing the most incredible job nursing Dad.
Thank you Christine Lori, for your wonderful message. Was it really your last one? I see you are retired now.

P.S. Two days ago, within less than an hour, two friends from my past found me, and reconnected. One of them via Facebook, have not heard in over 40 years. The other one called...had found my husband's number in the phone book...told me she was dying and wanted to say farewell. No connection between these two women, one a Brit from my London days, the other an ex-pat living in Costa Rica....so it was like an inter-dimensional door had opened. Strange and mysterious happenings.

Hi Ulli

I wish your parents all the best, may you spend the time you have with them as you wish it to be.

Btw, do doctors take you seriously (with regard to matters discussed here)?

The doctors I have met here in Costa Rica, and especially my husband and his brother, are very mystical,
and relatively open to these matters. Far more so than any doctors I ever knew in Germany, England, Barbados or the US.

[araucaria]

My doctor aunt was very devout in a traditional sort of way, but this translated as something else in her dealings with her patients. Overheard in her waiting room: 'Don't tell her all your troubles: she's gonna listen!'

[PurpleLama]

Okay ... serious question this time (gasp goes through the crowd).

Mostly pointed at Carmody and Purple based on some of their previous posts (but anyone, of course, is welcome to chime in).


Since there seems to be enough "evidence" to ponder about the multidimensionals tampering with not only channeling but after death happenings as well ... can anyone explain to me why meditation is exempt from such???

Obviously with channeling you are inviting someone in ... but that isn't the case when we die.

Is there any reason to believe mediatation is beyond such interference???

I would suggest, that perhaps its not the most efficient way to consider the issue, to wonder if such interference, as it were, might extend even into the practices of self cultivation commonly lumped together under the label of meditation. To the converse, it might be suggested that such practices lead one to observe what interferences are already active but unobserved in one's consciousness. This, taken with the fact that only meditation will lead one's mind to a definite coherence, to power within the mental/astral realms, thereby being a person's only line to defending against interference even to the point of death. The worst of it is not the interference in the process of death, or interference in the process of meditation, it is the interference in the process of everyday consciousness that goes unobserved in the daily life.

The tragedy is that so few will actually pursue relentlessly the hard ass work of self examination, even though so many make such pretence, there is a paucity of evidence that demonstrates the contrary, especially amongst those who make such claims while not displaying any of the self control or lack of emotional reactivity that one should expect on the basis of higher dimensional connectivity. Those are the worst deceived, by self, by EDs, by whatever, and it is most unfortunate that so many who are new to the alt spirituality should listen to these. Lessons in discernment for the taking, I reckon, or should I say, Honk If You're Easily Manipulated.

[Flash]

As happy holidays as you can, blessings all over for everyone here.

Ulli, truly sorry for your family, all my heart with you over in Costa Rica.

I was with my dad when he passed away, he was trying to take his breath with difficulty and I gave him the permission to go, although he could not speak, it seemed strangely the thing to do at the time. And nobody else than me would have done it, I am pretty sure. I knew I would be the one with him, even if our schedules did not stop to change.

Months later, he came back in dream and ask me how he passed away, having had to many drugs in this system to remember. I replayed the whole situation to him, image by image. He asked me if he had scared me, to which I laugh and said no. You see, my dad was very built with a big voice and was always afraid of scaring us, his little daughters. Typical of him.

Then a few months later he came back again, sitting in a chair, looking at me. The greatest amount of love I ever felt came to me, as if every single cell of my body had been dipped into a bath of love.

They are fine when it is time to go. I wish you all a bit more time with him and to him all the wellbeing and easiness possible for passing away with love when he is ready.

That was a fun little card, Pauler. :)

Ulli, so sorry y'all are going through such a difficult time. I wish I had some words that would comfort, or words of wisdom...all I have is my love which I send to your family. You too, heretogrow.

Calz, I am no Wise One, and I can't speak to all meditation...but...for the type of focus-on-Awareness exercise that I do, er did and hope to get back to, my entire consciousness grows very full and bright. I think I understand what you mean with channeling, which I have absolutely no desire to do for just such reasons. But what I have done in this awareness meditation, if you will, is to find this consciousness and focus so intently that all else falls away. Everything else does. Everything. I become this. The only way to describe this, and how I would explain why this does not open me up to external interference in that moment, is that there is no room. I would imagine that I might get attention for the light that grows, much like bugs to a porch light at night. And I would imagine that there are internal aspects that get flushed to the surface to allow them to be burned off. But there simply isn't room in that moment for any external interference in the time I am immersed.

Hard ass work? Oh, yeah. It was. It is. But worth every moment.

Here and Now, spending time alone. I am enjoying this so much. Of course, when I step outside my home I am reminded it is Christmas Eve. I had my Christmas last week. That was great, but I didn't really think about the experience of knowing the whole world outside my door would be merry and gay and surrounded by family when I'm by myself. So far, so good. I have realized that when I think about past holidays, or when I think about anything other than what is happening right this moment, my energy leaves me and goes there. Wherever that is. It is like having another person in here, and the person steps out when my attention goes. So rest assured, I'm staying in this moment. Also resting in the Awareness that accompanies me, though it isn't at all like when I do the exercise...I am aware of its presence. Which is a constant reminder of what is real and what is not.

Much Love, and may this day be every thing you've hoped for.

The title of the video is '27 Winter Holiday Tradition Origins'. We are in the middle of Summer here... so that title didn't seem appropriate.

The pace of the talking in the video is very fast... its not the most relaxing video but you may find it interesting to see some facts and origins (Well, possible facts, as life experience has shown me that written history is not as accurate as it's depicted to be) behind all these traditions.

Dearest Ulli,
May your father in law find newly restored health if it is his wish, or may he choose to move on and pass over if he feels that the time is right. To you, dearheart, I wish you and your hubby, son, and other family members the strength to cope and find peace at this difficult time.Merry Christmas Ulli, our shining star of the village whose glow and warmth has welcomed so many. We are very thankful for you!

And for the many others here, who are like family, thank you, as well. For your friendship, your compassion, your gift of listening, experiencing and being here together at this gathering place as one big family is truly a priceless blessing in itself!

Happy Holidays Avalon, I for one count all of you in my blessings as this is the gathering place of the most caring, unique, insightful, intelligent, and gifted people and it is a blessing to know you.

I have been away for a bit as well - a couple of out-of-town trips. My parents 70th wedding anniversary party! (not many people live to see that day come), my Dad's 94th birthday!, seeing ALL of my (nine) siblings together with my parents...some pretty magical moments.

And, I too just wanted to pop in here and spread some positive vibes and send my love. Whatever holidays you celebrate, may they be filled with love and laughter.

Like you, Billyji, I notice that on the days where I mention my ailing father-in-law on this thread there is a massive improvement in his health. Of all the alternative healing methods this group's attention is the most effective of all.

So keep reminding us of your mum, as I will remind everyone of Papi Jorge. He is such a loved person, and he is now improving, making effort to eat, and his fever has dropped, too.

The green names are members who volunteered to act as "greeters" on the forum, and are willing to help new members acclimatize....which reminds me....

Oh, and by the way, merry Christmas, dear Villagers.
I'm home alone this year, at least until lunchtime when I will join my husband who is taking care of the patient.
Everyone else is with their children and grandchildren.
So in a way it means I won't be distracted, and can therefore act as a beacon and send love to the world.

[ulli]

Hello Beloved Villagers. I want to thank you for being yourselves.
Here is my view point, as it stands this Christmas of 2013.

All disorders, or ill health, can be corrected by a spirit being whose agenda we are serving in a focused way.
We only need to choose one of all those various agendas out there, whichever one we feel most attracted to, and then follow that path, with focus.

If one looks only at the needs of one's loved ones, or greater community, or even national interest,
there may be help from discarnate beings who came before us and gave their lives in service at those levels.

But if one can see the needs of the planet as a whole, and not only the immediate needs,
but the long-term needs of a future society, after the current defective system collapses,
then I believe that one will be protected by beings whose greatness and scope is way beyond our imagination,
way beyond what our ancestors called God, even.

These beings will inspire, open doors, and protect not only one's health
but also one's machinery, one's means of transportation...one's cars, planes, boats, bicycles, etc.

If one is still operating at the level of seeking personal enlightenment,
not yet having reached the level of considering the rest of humanity,
especially the poor, the oppressed, and the downtrodden,
then all sorts of adverse conditions can affect one, and make one's life miserable.
But in the end each of these conditions can be turned around to help with self development;
one just has to find the hidden gem inside each experience.

A wilingness to serve the greater community is like having insurance...
as it is in the interest of the highest planners to keep one in optimum shape.

Of course the same is also true for those who have offered their services to the opposite (dark) side,
by making Faustian contracts. Except their path will lead them to further confinement, misery and soul death.

So I prefer to choose a path that leads to freedom, happiness and eternal life.
Ultimately there are only two directions in life.

[Marianne]

Definitely sending love your way and your family in laws way, as well as your husband. Grief has to work itself out, as you already know. The only thing you can do is be there fully, as you are very much able to and surely doing. So much in fact that your husband will realise in a few years, once grief is totally processed.

All my heart with you Ulli.

Christine Lori (not to confuse with Christine the moderator) has expressed several times that she could not feel comfortable on this forum. She even started a thread about it, and several of us tried to assist her in getting acclimatized.
But in the end it all depends on a person's expectations and path. Avalon is not for everybody.

Last night at the funeral home I got crushed. There must have been several thousand people, maybe 5000+, throughout the course of the afternoon and evening... some of them very poor villagers who came a long way to say farewell.
Some relatives had dropped everything and came from the other end of the country, and had found out via Facebook.
Never in my life have I received that many hugs in such a short space of time. Wow! What a love that man commanded.

Some people in floods of tears, and others grey-faced, frozen in shock. And even now, here at home, I am sensing powerful energies, which were released by his transition.
He was kindness personified. He would give people land so they could build their homes, and then he would come with his bulldozer and make them the driveways...all for free. And now this old patriarch has gone and we are carrying on his torch. When he realized that we had come to this community voluntarily, in order to help, he saw that we had an understanding of his mission, and that is why he gave us those two acres of land by the river. This was totally unexpected, but I can now see why he did that. Because when all the younger generation were moving into the big city, attracted by conveniences and materialism, to see my husband and me leaving all that behind and instead return to this rural area made him happy and relieved.
We are the ones who will carry on his work...his love for nature and the ordinary folks who live here.
So today he will be buried. It happens too fast here for my taste...within 24 hours.
But there are no fridges and this is the tropics after all.
Lots of work ahead for us, to help people with the grieving process and to get them to see that the world of spirit is actually more real than this nether world. And that we will all be reunited one day.

Ulli, this is a time for flowers. A while back you posted some bougainvillea, my favourite - i always take a photo when I see some. Here is one of them, along with a couple of roses from my garden.

Nice work, Araucaria!

[RunningDeer]

Christine is retired, and Peace&Love, who was still making new friends on the evening before Christmas Eve, is unsubscribed. Very odd. What's going on?

Hi araucaria, (two post here for you)

Christine Lori sent me a PM a couple of weeks ago, and then on December 17th saying it was time to leave, and asked to be unsubscribed. I did suggest that she take a break.

One reason why was because she spent too much time on the forum. Another was some of the material was creating nightmares. She also posted the latter on the forum. That's why on the 17th I posted this below on the Village.

She's popped in since her retirement. So if you catch this post, Christine Lori, Happy New Year and continued health in 2014 and beyond. http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/hugs/smileys-hugs-765537.gif



Dear Christine Lori,

It's a bottomless cup and we'll keep it hot, until your return.

Paula, stars don't cast shadows ;)
But if you or anyone have any idea where my son's haversack has got to since last night, I'd be grateful. I picked it off the settee last night to put my feet up and put it on the floor. He needs his passport to catch a plane.

Whoever is playing around, would they kindly just put it back now? Thank you.

Edit: problem solved - two miracles: my daughter must have tidied it away in her brother's room, and he actually found something :)

It reminds me of the time I sat with my mother, just after her mother had died. It was her fourth 'nurse into death' experience in the past 15 years. Essentially, she has spent probably 10 years of that time involved in exactly that, all day, every one of those days. If you wanted to see what worn down looks like, you'd have to see the photo I took of her while we sat at the outdoor patio table, as she looked straight into the camera. More than once she opined, 'I must been very bad in this way, in some past life'. I told here that I was not sad about it, that I was glad that we got to hold the fort and shoot at the nasties, while they (deceased) got a chance to sneak out the back...and be free again. That I had learned to see it as a person (being) set free, and into a grand opening, not a 'death'. That I struggle with it, as does everyone, but the knowing that the other (reality) is real as can be, certainly did help.

[Robin]

This is my favorite poem of all time. It is quite a beautiful poem that has had some significant meaning to me for a large part of my life. Since becoming awake and aware, it has gained a newer meaning to me when I thought that I had the poem all figured out.

I believe that poems are sources of energy in which we can all draw from. Poems can mean different things to different people at different stages throughout their life, depending on their current mood, ideals, and personality.

To me, this poem means many different things. It describes the walls, both physical and psychological, that we create and maintain to divide ourselves from others. It also takes on meanings such as disregarding childish notions such as the inclusion of elves as being part of our reality, acknowledging the fervent attitude of domination of all forms of life, and the comfort people take on to old, traditional paradigms while dismissing new ones.

Just as the title suggests, 2014 is going to be a time where we will need to mend the walls we set up to separate ourselves from others.

Which walls will we individually choose to mend, and which ones will we decide to break down all together? Or decide to leave unchanged? Will we adopt a new paradigm collectively? Perhaps you, Ulli, may take comfort in this poem as well, as we need to mend the walls between us and the dead to give the dead the peaceful transition they desire, whilst keeping a bridge open to them.

I implore you all to read the poem, find your own personal metaphorical (or literal) meaning to it and think about a better future for humanity for 2014 and beyond. :)

Mending Wall
Robert Frost

Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it,
And spills the upper boulders in the sun,
And makes gaps even two can pass abreast.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one stone on a stone,
But they would have the rabbit out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made,
But at spring mending-time we find them there.
I let my neighbor know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the wall between us once again.
We keep the wall between us as we go.
To each the boulders that have fallen to each.
And some are loaves and some so nearly balls
We have to use a spell to make them balance:
'Stay where you are until our backs are turned!'
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on a side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need the wall:
He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, 'Good fences make good neighbors'.
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion in his head:
'Why do they make good neighbors? Isn't it
Where there are cows?
But here there are no cows.
Before I built a wall I'd ask to know
What I was walling in or walling out,
And to whom I was like to give offence.
Something there is that doesn't love a wall,
That wants it down.' I could say 'Elves' to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing a stone grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me~
Not of woods only and the shade of trees.
He will not go behind his father's saying,
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, "Good fences make good neighbors."

Non photoshop...straight off the iPad.

Dad was buried with full honours, and the municipal police escorted him.
Not to mention the thousands who showed up, all in floods of tears.
National anthem, and even mariachis with trumpets.
So here is one which has the light coming in a such a way from the back window
that it shows what appears to be an angel giving blessings. Right above the policeman's head.

December 23rd was Raf’s last post, and you can’t leave a message on his board. His color code looks as though he’s not here at least for a time. It doesn’t state whether he’s retired, or gone fishin’. UPDATE: I just checked the member's list, his name doesn't come up.

Raf, if you see this, I admire how you think. I don’t alway agree, but your POVs have helped me. One more thing, from time to time, I use your photo as my desktop picture. Your art is innovative and fun.

That's too bad about Raf. If I ever made it down to Brazil, I would have found a way to stop in. Perhaps he will be back. After all, where else can he even talk about these sort of subjects and get anything close to a serious reply? The answer is: nowhere else.

As for the interview with Joseph Farrel that Purple links to, at the 1 hour mark to about 1:12, you get a final answer on the story about WHO is making bitcoin a big thing. We find that there is now a history coming out of what bit coin might actually be, who it may come from. The explanation of closed systems vs that of open systems..this finds bitcoin in the realm of closed systems of finance. My answer is not definitive or final and it bears some watching and some time spent ruminating on the subject. specifically how the valuation of bitcoin is done. But, we do start in bitcoin with FINITE numbers of bitcoin and then subdivisions thereof, which is a thing that is directly against an open system of finance. Right at the 1:12 mark of the interview, you get the meat of the answer.

Which is exactly the trap that is advertized as the divine right of kings, etc, as is covered in the book 'financial vipers of Venice'. In the open system any division of infinity - remains infinity, just in separate pieces. Bitcoin is closed. Like modern finance. As the admiral from Star wars said: It's a trap!

Speaking of small quirky interesting films, I just saw 'seeking a friend for the end of the world', and found it to be a nice little film. Don't bother watching any previews if you are thinking of taking a shot at it, just watch it and see it play it's story out.

Like the Vietnamese film The Vertical Ray of the Sun (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/52/The_Vertical_Ray_of_the_Sun.jpg), we're not really sure there is a point, but the journey is fun and it has it's beauty along the way. No macho goals and overcoming of obstacles in a way that most manly men would ever understand. (read: not western trash, no 'tits, guns, and cop humiliation' to be found anywhere within)

Joe Farrell’s analysis fits in with some of the points I have been trying to make for a while.
1. Closed systems are open systems disguised to look as if they are closed. For example, I have a book on the economics of traditionalist (scarcity) ecology from 1978 which states plainly that the Earth can be viewed as a closed system, because the Sun’s input can be excluded as not being directly usable energy – absolute balderdash of the first order.

2. life = debt/guilt. I have been exploring the idea that karma is an accountant’s description of how life works. We all have negative karma like money owed to the bank. We pay it off by being good, i.e. docile. The bankers on the other hand have all the positive karma, which they are free to spend liberally, by perpetrating unimaginable levels of evil. To get away with so much spending/evil-doing and still balance the karma books, they must be gods or saints. Adam and Eve’s original sin was not so much disobedience as helping themselves to an apple, not realizing that they were in a pay store. They inadvertently invented the crime of shoplifting and the punishment of life imprisonment.

3. He goes on to make an almost Jordan Maxwellian pun on death/debt. I am not sure that Jordan is always correct in his etymologies, but Farrell’s one seems plausible. I’m not sure if these things are deliberate – they may be more like Freudian slips. Couples these days do indeed form ‘till debt us do part’ for if money issues are not usually uppermost before they split, they usually are afterwards. And you see this link with death in terms like ‘mortgage’, which clearly suggests a pledge to death, i.e. with one’s life as security. The Oxford English Dictionary has a quote from a lawyer in 1628 explaining that it just means a pledge that is dead in the sense that either it is paid, and therefore dead to the borrower, or not paid, and the land is dead to the borrower. A likelier explanation is that the peasant has been worked to death.

There is an interesting passage in François the Champi (aka The Country Waif) in which George Sand, writing in 1848, describes the post-Revolutionary situation whereby the peasant not only slaves to make the land productive but also squanders his hard-earned cash in a two-tiered land-owning system:

A peasant, however miserably poor, will always pay interest, for he is unwilling to let go of what bit of ground he has and which the creditor may take back if he is dissatisfied.
We all know about it, my good folk! More than once we have had a chance of enriching ourselves by buying good land at a low price. But, low as it may be, it is too high for us. Our covetous eyes are bigger than our purses and we worry ourselves trying to till a field of which the harvest covers barely half the interest exacted by the seller. And when we have slave and sweated half our miserable lives we find ourselves ruined, and only the earth has benefited by our toil and trouble. The land is worth double, and it is the moment to sell it. If it sold well we would be saved; but that never happens. The interest we have been paying has sucked us dry so that we have to sell at once at any price. If we kick against this the courts force us to do it and the first owner, if he is still alive, or his representative or inheritors, take back their property just as it is; that is to say that for long years their land has been in our hands and we have been paying them eight and ten per cent. interest; then they get it back, worth double because of our labour—a good piece of l and which costs them neither trouble nor money and the value of which has been increased by the passage of time. Thus might will always overcome right, and we poor creatures will always be punished for our covetousness and will remain as stupid as ever.
In this way Madame Sévère held a mortgage on her own property and at a good rate of interest. (…)
the burning fever of the peasant who will not be torn from his glebe-land. Do you know what glebe is, my children? Once upon a time it was much talked of in our parishes. The story went that in the old days the lords bound us to it to sweat us to death, but that the Revolution cut the rope and that we no longer strain like oxen at the master’s plough. The truth is that we have merely tied ourselves to our own harrow instead, that we sweat no less, and that we die of it just the same.

François’ adoptive mother’s land has been sold off to these peasants, and with a little money of his own, he sets about getting it back for her. Simplifying things somewhat, he does so by whispering the lie that the rich woman actually ‘had more debts than there are holes in a sieve’ and that the land might be confiscated any day. He also gives them a small sum in addition to their money back for the land. Hence the solution lies in destroying the rich person’s credit rating and by injecting fresh money where it is needed – this is where the supposed closed system proves open.

i think you are taking 'system' in a different sense from the totally neutral one I am using. All I mean is an organization of interconnected parts. An atom is so many electrons revolving around so many protons and neutrons. Which part of this system do you disagree with and how do you propose to change it? ;)

Oh I was referring to the land owning "system" you were discussing where I posted your quote....

My response is something I would say in all situations focusing on an economic system based on credit, paper, and bureaucratic language and documents that could circle around the earth for eons and still DO ALL OF US NO GOOD. And yes the peasants have more then likely worked to death...

1inMany, Bill has been back on the forum today to advise Americans again to get out of the US. I am just a little concerned for you and others whom this message is for. Is this just another background worry for you or would you consider acting on Bill's advice? Or are you in a position where you would expect to pull through? I am only asking because I have no idea what I myself would do in such circumstances, and from this distance it is very hard to have a good grasp of the situation.

Maybe this is not a good time to have this kind of discussion, or there has been enough of it elsewhere. I just want you all to know that you have my support.

found an 'astrological patterns for 2013-2014' essay.

Grand Trines most often form within signs of the zodiac that share a common element: Fire, Air, Earth, or Water
Now how does that work, I wonder?


There are twelve signs in the zodiac.
Named originally after the twelve constellations,
Which they corresponded with at the time of the
first astrologers who gave those names.

These twelve signs form four groups, of three signs each.
These groups consist of Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

There is an orderly pattern here, and people operate according to the presence of those elements in their charts.

Hence people with a grand trine in the Fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are natural leaders,
with a high level of energy (fire nature) and can inspire others with their enthusiasm.

People with a Grand Trine in the Earth signs are "down to earth", common sense people. They can tell which of the fire signs ideas will fail, and which can be implemented, given some adjustments.

People with a Grand Trine in the Air signs of Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are people who see mental concepts
who are good communicators, culture bearers or inventors.

People with the Grand Trine in the Water signs are sensitive, and can feel others, and even can probe into the future or other dimensions due to this ability.

So if the whole universe is one single organism, a huge body of plasma, (or ether - whatever), and within that body there are an infinite number of currents, all streaming according to the will of the highest being, the One who created all that is, this infinite orderly system, who has endless access to an near infinite number of great galactic mathematicians or geneticists,
then it would be safe to assume that chaos is not the dominant condition, but only a temporary one...
One that indicates shifts and changes before everything can return to a state of harmony, balance and growth.
Hopefully at a refined level. All things have the destiny to move towards refinement, if they so desire.

Grand Trines most often form within signs of the zodiac that share a common element: Fire, Air, Earth, or Water
Now how does that work, I wonder?


There are twelve signs in the zodiac.
Named originally after the twelve constellations,
Which they corresponded with at the time of the
first astrologers who gave those names.

These twelve signs form four groups, of three signs each.
These groups consist of Fire, Earth, Air and Water signs.
Fire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Earth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn
Air signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius
Water signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces

There is an orderly pattern here, and people operate according to the presence of those elements in their charts.

Hence people with a grand trine in the Fire signs of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are natural leaders,
with a high level of energy (fire nature) and can inspire others with their enthusiasm.

I get you: the distance between any element's signs is obviously 60 degrees, should've worked that one out for myself. I was thinking in terms of planets moving around.

It's nice to be dumb when it gets you a post like that, thanks Ulli :)

When a planet is in a certain sign it acts as a filter, or lens,
for the particular energies of that part of the cosmos to stream into the lower layers.

So if someone has the sun in Libra, and the moon in Aquarius, and Jupiter in Gemini,
then their main drive (sun) is directed towards harmony and culture, and they respond (moon)
to life situations in a quick and intelligent manner, sometimes even undermining their Libran urge to be diplomatic at all times,
as Aquarius energies value truth to the point of bluntness.
And the Jupiter (expansion) in Gemini position urges them to create communication links at the higher levels, like national or even international.

It is from the Financial Vipers of Venice, which is his latest book, I think. I listened to his interview (http://www.thebyteshow.com/Audio/JosephPFarrell/JosephPFarrell_FinancialVipersofVenice1_16Nov2013_TBS.mp3) with the Byte Show on this one, and I suspect him of having made a recent trip to Colorado, as it was a great interview punctuated by moments of forgetfulness alternating with moments of uncontrollable laughter. As a regular listener of his interviews with GeorgeAnn, this one really cracked me up.

A new sequel (http://www.thebyteshow.com/Audio/JosephPFarrell/JosephPFarrell_FinancialVipersofVenice2_29Dec2013_TBS.mp3) was posted up recently. For those interested, it is poignant to some of the recent conversation hereabouts.

I had meant to write one more sentence, but was interrupted, so I just pressed "post".
The additional comment was to explain the words I had written in bold...
that they are keywords, associated with the signs in question.

That's how astrology works...using keywords in order to describe.
after some practise they begin to blend into symbols.

Example: Neptune
association:
Pisces, water, oceans, oneness, flowing, inspiration, spirit, spirits, spirituality, religion, mysticism, dreams, compassion, empathy, shamanism, telepathy, fantasy
escapism, confusion, poisons, drugs, alcohol (spirits), subversiveness, self pity, witchcraft, sorcery.

If one sits down and ponders these words after a while one can see how all associations have something in common,
and yet can be divided into positive and negative applications.

think of the planets as aggregates of mass, or aggregates of energy. Each point in that energy aggregate ends up being like a filter polarization refractive point.

each 'atom' or grouping of dimensional skin interactive points, both negative and positive, is shifting or bending the flow of the multidimensional energies that flow through it. (that are it)

From our observation point in this dimensional space, we call earth and 3d space, with linear unidirectional time, we have our little world and our perception of 'universe'.

The large mass aggregates that we witness in this protrusion or 'held reality' that is consciousness projected and maintained by US humans, are the planets. and their motions in that 3d time-space representation of the dimensional space. It is seen from that 'vantage point', we call reality.

They are in reality ......moving through multiple dimensions, affecting and connected through - multiple dimensions.

Those dimensions have not the same time-space references as us.

They are also the same fabric that this representation of us (we in our current consciousness projection) is also made of. They affect US and our projection flow in this space. Like a leaf floating on the water. Floating on the water, as we are not aware of things. If aware, we can navigate, consciously. Otherwise, we float and are taken by the flow and the winds.

The motion of the planets in the heavens are those flows and winds.

How and when each individual entered this 'space' or dimensional bubble/plane we call reality, on earth, this marks the beginning of our integration with this space, and it marked by the planetary positions, of our birth 'time'. thus the planets mark our flow and connections and integrations/influence in this 'space' or dimensional bubble that our consciousness awareness sits at in this space.

Thus, it is a flow predictability, not specific reality outcome. Just probability, flow, and pressures, one might say. Plus the original perception life package of the individual and their potentials, is marked in that birth and progression of life. (all parts of astrology)

Due to you being a protrusion and perception package into this dimensional space and the planets are large aggregates of that 'mass' or representation of this 'space',and they exist in layers of density, vibration,and polarization, in this 'living sea' of multidimensional vibration, they act upon the soup or mix of this place.

The sun is at the core of the disturbance or bubble and the oort cloud is at the outer edge of the bubble. At least in the mundane or 3d linear time-space analysis of this 'place' -or 'perception/reality/dimension vantage point.'

You can think of it as a pair of 2 dimensional planes of energy, in integrated vibrational act or flow. Each meeting point has a difference from the rest (atom). we look along that edge..and we separate the differences INTO 3d time-space. We are (perception-wise) plugged into a 2d pairing interference point. Which is why both quantum spooky action at a distance and all the quantum effects function at the same point that the Newtonian rules also function. This, due to the functions of each being the perception/integration point. 3d linear unidirectional time-space exists across a differential in two 'atoms'. Quantum is in each. Fundamentally, a 2d plane interference point in flow, an angle of vantage point, a perception.

Any analysis that is carried into this place is not known to be 100% correct, but the number of people that carry it and project it CAN increase it's reality -into being. (or dissolve it).

Here's one right here:

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/astral_dynamics/astral_dynamics26.htm

Fundamentally, we each carry our own perception package and we can gather together and have done so regarding the 7 billion shared dream of earth of the 'here and now'.

No, not at all. It's about me, it is personal, to do with my own birth chart
and nothing but a fear which stems from my body's survival instinct...
Spirit doesn't know such fears.

And as far as 'end of the world' scenarios goes... I believe they are all projections
from some individual's own fears about their own demise...
and the loneliness of crossing over.
So they would feel better if it were to happen to everyone at the same time.

You won't ever see me posting such stuff, unless it's tongue in cheek.

I’m so sorry for mistaking a general situation with a personal one. I know you astrologers avoid telling people potentially scary personal news, but you have to face it for yourselves at least for a brief moment. I was forgetting that side of the equation with this guy’s horoscope for general application. But then, you are suggesting that nothing is really for general application – even when the outer planets start misbehaving?

Anyway, I’m dropping this subject right now.

This subject is very important, and so are your questions.
I didn't mean to sound as if I was discouraging further dialogue.
If an astrologer sees tense transits coming along,
unless he/she is really physic, he/she can't always know what events it will bring.

So the fear factor could include in part that one might not be strong enough to respond to the event the transit brings,
like, to not be prepared for the worst.
Each challenging event (planetary squares and oppositions) brings opportunities for growth,
with initial fails, before mastery is attained.
Also to grow to higher levels means new responsibilities
which many are too complacent to accept.

It appears to be the access points.

It appears to be the first shape after the sphere.

It appears to be the yin lines of the 'great icosahedron set'. (vortex ley line maps)

Look, for example, the Swaziland motto, which is a major nexus point and that nexus point just happens to be in a small separate country:

Motto:
"Siyinqaba" (Swati)
"We are a fortress"
"We are a mystery/riddle"
"We hide ourselves away"

And it even hits the speculated Gulf Of Aden Hotspot.

And the mothman thing. And the point in upper NY state, where experiments were supposedly going on.

And the suspected native American child sacrifices at the church's orphanage in Ontario, Canada.

Their realm has no light, no sky. It is enclosed, internal. Large cave like spaces. Perches everywhere. Imagine exaggerated Gothic extremes. They see via a bluish monotone. Their eyes glow the opposite on the color chart, which is that glowing red.

Hi Ulli,

A received a PM from dear friend who's concerned for you when I passed along the "NO" without specifics. Alls I can say is that it's a good feeling "NO". It was not for me to understand. It was for me to just pass along, and that you'd know what it meant. That's my understanding of how it went. If I've caused confusion or fear, please let me know. And if it is the case, I am truly sorry and will be mindful in the future.

It's awkward when things like this come up. I find that I hold back. Like many of us, often when I get flashes or an inner knowing, it's shown to be true. With these changing times, they are more frequent and detailed. I'm still working on the fine tuning which is one reason that I go on frequent cave trips.

With heart,
Paula

PS If is was a doubt that you had, then it is unwarranted. Meaning "No", i.e., no need to even go there.

PSS I see now that depending upon one's perception, there's different ways to interpret what I posted. I can't take this one back, but in the future, I promise not to go there.

[ulli]

Frankly, Paula, I felt neither fear nor confusion, but irritation. I have been stressed to my limits by events here at home, and if anything, "messages" from the beyond at this point in my life need to have a name, and a bit more of an explanation.
Just because some of those messages have been known to be true to you doesn't mean that others would welcome them.

Anyway, it wasn't even a message, but more of an arguing against my expressed personal belief.
I don't mind if you do that, and then back up your argument and explain why and how you came to your opinion, but to have some unknown entity come through without any further explanation is a bit more than I'm willing to accept as an authority, especially since this is not the channeling thread. Sorry to sound clipped...I'm too tired right now to compose a more diplomatic response.

I am particularly interested in the Venice connection, having written a study on a highly intricate work of fiction notably featuring the history of the storm of Constantinople (the Fourth Crusade) written by a participant, Geoffroy de Villehardouin, which I describe as a kind of official 911 report on that campaign. I was working last year on an adaptation of that material for an English reader, maybe I should finish it sometime. The novel in question (dating from the mid-sixties) also involves a personal struggle to overcome mind control and the complexity comes from multiple layering effects for purposes of protective deception.

Thanks for the reminder about Melatonin, sheme.
I first started using them regularly around 1995,

I sleep early, and wake up early, and love the silence before dawn, finding it inspiring.

But the last few days have been stressful, as I'm grieving my father-in-law's passing,
I also feel terribly sad for my husband, and the rest of his shocked family.
It all happened too fast. What a loss.
Four deaths of close friends and family this year have me reeling.

Melatonin tabs help me to sleep sometimes I just can't stop thinking my sleep patterns just don't happen. Someone told me about Drs Best Melatonin they work, no hang over or inability to wake up they just get you off to sleep. You came to my minds eye yesterday Ulli . blessings are yours and you sleep well.

Thanks for the reminder about Melatonin, sheme.
I first started using them regularly around 1995,
but then found they were no longer needed.

Yes, dear Ulli, and you are worried whether a post of yours may have been a little harsh? Give yourself a break, it wouldn't matter if it was.
This is why I stopped posting last night. You should be coming here for some support and nothing else.

[PurpleLama]

I have so many factors contributing to sleepless nights that I'm losing track here.
The latest one is Paula, and if I was horrible to her last night.
I'm trying my hardest to figure out if and where there was a misunderstanding.
The earlier irritation I felt now has become confusion. And even regret.
And I want to ask Villagers their opinions...if they think that I misread her post,
thinking that No was directed at me.
Paula, were you just mumbling to yourself?

What I got, at the first No, and it made perfect sense to me at the time,, was that as the spirit knows no fears, neither should you. You are that spirit after all. Seeing something different than that, I think may be what elicited the further No. I could be wrong, but it had the ring of truth to it when first she posted No, yesterday.

Paula, cryptic messages from beyond are the best, ulli really needs some rest. Myself, I have overextended myself recently, but I'm back in shape, not with healing hands but with hands healed. Promise instead, in the future you will *not* hold back, please.

Last nights dream, there was a very tough, very thorny barrier that was keeping a bunch of people from enrtering a passage way that led to safety from the ever rising tide. All I had was a pair of heavy duty utility scissors, but I went after the vines with vigor and utter disregard for my own tender flesh. I opened the door and the people escaped, then some friends showed up in some large white vehicle, and I got inside. A very lovely brunette being spent what seemed like a long while dressing the many wounds and blisters that my hands had become, using castor oil (imagine that, haha). We drove all along the edge of the place, surveying the damage so widespread along the new beach,, with concrete and rebar and cars sticking out of the sand and water, all being slowly consumes by the rising waters. In the last scene, I was helping set up some equipment in a clearing, I think to judge the rate at which the water was progressing, and as I manipulated on of the devices at about eye level, I notices an untreated wound at the edge of my sleeve, on the wrist. I pointed it out to her,, and she got the oil on her fingers to treat the wound, and as neither of us had a free hand, she used her teeth to pull the cuff gently down to apply the oil (apparently castor oil will stain clothing, even in dreams, ha). When she applied the oil and released the sleeve from her teeth, I said, I gotta admit, that was some kinda sexy, a comment which did not amuse her, not at all. Her lack of amusement was absolutely hilarious to me, and I laughed and laughed until I awoke.

I have a long history of poking fun at the higher ups, they enjoy the humor, even when they won't show it, so the off color remark was not as misplaced as it seems. Apparently I needed a good belly laugh, it felt great, and loosened up some knots pretty well....

My wonderful partner is doing the majority of the work, she puts in 12+ hours every day on this project.. I can't imagine how she does it, I come home from work and it feels like I just showed up to another job.. haha

but i guess that's how it goes when you are starting your own business; we need to start our 501c paper work so we can give tax write off's for the donations we are recieving and the land we are using for the horses.. its kind of hard to get motivated to tackle the red tape though.

Dearest Ulli,
You know me, I do not get in the middle of anything. Ever. But...
There was a time, about a year ago, when I had just weaned from all my anxiety and depression meds. I reacted to a post in an overly emotional way, and I reached out to you because I was upset both about the first post and about my own extreme reply. And you said to give myself a break, that my brain chemistry was all out of whack and my emotions were all over the place. And you said that is was quite understandable. You said that under the circumstances, I was doing quite well. And I came back to the village and posted again...that I could feel that the first emotional response was not from my normal (ha), stable (ha) self, and that I certainly hoped everything would settle inside me so that I wouldn't leak all over everyone.

You know better than I how this recent departure of a beautiful being and important person in your life has taken its toll. I would say to you that is understandable if you were to speak from a place of...sadness, weariness, even frustration that a message is not clear to you.

And Dearest Paula,
Please continue to offer your gift. I have seen your messages mean a great deal to those of us who do not share this gift. I have felt it myself as well. And have been grateful you have shared. Grateful.

I hope you reach out to each other via PM, as it would be my opinion that this need not be public. I know you two care about each other, and I know you both are Divine Beings sharing this here and now. I know we all have gifts, and we share what we are moved to share with each other. And the intent (in my opinion) is always...always...to give in love, to help. True, it is not always at the time we think best, or maybe not in the way we would like, or even...maybe it isn't easy to accept. I use those examples because I have felt all of that. But they are gifts, nonetheless.

(I felt the first "no" was in reference to Ulli's statement that Spirit might be hurt...my interpretation was that actually Spirit in the Highest....not "my" spirit or "your" spirit (as in heart, soul)....but...Highest Spirit...only seeks experiences, and it has no fears or hurts...experience is experience.) My interpretation, of course, is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Much Love,

[thunder24]

Araucaria, I've been thinking about the concern you shared, probably now it was a couple of pages ago, ha. About my physical location and possibilities of upcoming...upheaval I will call it.

In response, let me (please) share something that happened in the past week. Though it is there and then, and not technically here and now...except that we all know time is relative.

K and I had swapped vehicles a while back. And when she last visited we swapped back. Part of helping her accept responsibility...long story not needed. So, last week I found myself driving my Mustang again. Now, the aging process rearing its ugly head as it is doing here lately, driving this car was uncomfortable to say the least. But I am grateful to have what I have, knowing that Em needs transportation to school and I need transportation...and that many folks don't have that. So, I was quite fine with the discomfort.

But the most odd thing happened. Mike called Friday night and said, "You know, that Mustang is no longer viable. Let's go tomorrow and get something more appropriate." And we did. I set out Saturday morning not having a clue what laid in store. So I said to the Universe, "there must be a car waiting at this place, please make sure I see it." And 15 minutes into scanning the lot, I had already driven the one I brought home.

I share this story because though I had absolutely no plans to do this, Universe showed me and I followed.

So, to answer your question, I have no plans at this moment to leave the country, or even leave this town for that matter. But one of the most important things I have learned in the past months is that absolutely nothing is outside the realm of possibility. And I have learned to watch for opportunities the Universe offers and take them based on intuition (for lack of a better word).

I do not worry too much any more. Not because this or that may not happen, but because I am keeping my attention, my focus, my energy in this moment. I do not rule out any possibility, but neither do I spend my energy on any of the many scenarios that most likely will happen. Is this foolish? Possibly. But there is a Trust involved. That I will be where I am supposed to be, one way or the other.

Thanks, sweetie, I appreciate all you share, here and now...

Much Love,

[Flash]

I think Paula is fine Ulli and she may just plainly offer her gift in a different fashion next time, not to be confusing for anyone. Which is a great understanding for everyone on board.

Personnally, I do not think like 1inMany on this topic. I do think that practicing gifts are just that, practicing gifts, and that they should be offered parcimoniously because there might be many mistakes in them, being a practicing gift - on the Learning slope.

This does not mean to stop at all, but instead to continue practicing but restrict oneself from offering the results until one is sure of the source of the message. Once one is absolutely sure it is from higher self, fine, there is wisdom. Otherwise, I would restrain. But this is me, others may behave differently and yet, still be ok.

I do listen to some people telling me things, but they are quite chosen people for me. I will listen because of their track record for not being misled and being quite clear inside. I remember telling my homeopath, whom I trusted quite a lot, that today your "television" is wrong (he was seeing stuff like on a screen). The set of ever changing possibilities makes it very difficult to see in the best of circumstances. If you add to it unclear channels, which is the great majority of us, well, you understand here I am sure.

Personnally I always question what other see and what I see/hear/feel if psychic. Not in a judgmental way but in an inquisitive way. Then I bounce it back to another person, often Mini Flash. And believe me, once the process is finished, it is not Worth going further, most of the time. When it is deemed worth it, I will surround it with warnings of potential truth, a possibility, not absolute ever.

Do not worry Ulli, it was, in my view, a Learning experience for all of us.

This is support you need here for the moment. Let us give it please.

[skippy]

My best and dearest wishes for 2014! Thank you all for your ongoing support, engagement and help. You people, human beings of the finest sort, do make a difference.

Hi Flash, this is worthy of clarification, since it seems you have assumed something that I may not have mentioned, nor do I believe to be true. It is quite appropriate when offered a gift to follow one's intuition or inner guidance or Higher Guidance as to whether the gift should be accepted wholly and blindly. This might be a product of lingual difficulties, but I thought it important enough to clarify so that I am not misunderstood.

Much Love,

Much Love,

i am not sure of what you are talking about here. What i was mentionning is precisely that one's inner guidane or Higher Guidance as to wether the gift should be accepted wholly and /or blindly, is precisely what I was saying. Until ones inner being is quite clear, and well pass the Learning curve as well, which is rare, prudence is required. It is my views, not yours, mine here, I do not intend it to be yours and I realise in this that we are not on the same page. And it is fine, this is what life is about.

Much Love,
Thank you 1inMany for this fine explanation of what it means to be prepared. It involves being grounded in the here and now, but not to the extent of being overly attached to anything, not to a car, not to a home or a location. And it also means not being overly attached to present tranquillity because it may be that in times of upheaval the tough spot is where we are supposed to be. It does take trust, as you say.

Glad I asked the question.
Much love to you
