Hey, I'm back at my sister and brother-in-laws doing some more work. Bumping out their kitchen and making the back porch living space plus about an 8' by 11' add on, I built them a 2 car garage a couple years ago and shared some pics here if some of you remember. Geeeessshh time flies!

Well, friday when I was carrying a chunk of overhang I had cut out and was placing in the backyard the u.p.s. guy came up the driveway. I waved at him and he tooted to me. I went down to get the package and he said that sure is a beautiful garage and I said I am the brother/brother-in-law and built that for them. He said would you like to adopt a new brother?, hahaha. He's doing work on his home and would be glad to have me around. That was a wonderful and quick-humored compliment : )

I came across some information last night that sort of tied up some loose ends for me. Thoughts are not what I understood them to be all my life, and they do not always originate where I assumed. I’ve known this since I explored this a while back. This led to an examination of my own thoughts versus all the thoughts that inhabit my mind.

There seem to be several aspects to this: the origin of thoughts, the nature of thoughts, and the destination of thoughts. I've been reading The Nature of Personal Reality, and Seth has added another facet - the result of thoughts.

The origin of thoughts is the mind, yes. But if they are in my head, my mind, did they necessarily originate there, in my own mind? No.

And are thoughts a problem? Yes, actually, they can be, depending on whose they are and what beliefs they are based on. I have been working very hard, and it is hard work let me tell you, to identify what is in my own mind. Weeding out what isn’t mine has been an important step in finding out who I Am.

I hope this makes sense. It does to me, but then I haven’t had coffee yet…

Care to join me, here and now? If you just look, there are loads of other choices :)

Black for me thanks :)

Yes, the unwanted thoughts tend to become increasingly blatant. One I often get walking down the street prompts me to step into that oncoming vehicle, especially if it's a bus or a nice big truck. So yes, you have to be careful.

[Catsquotl]

Black here also. drinking into my third pot of the day. I am interested to learn what you found out about thoughts. To me they are entities that must fullfill there content. As they aren't alive per se. most need human intervention in order for them to fullfil there purpose. either by a human acting on the thought or by a human deconstructing the original pattern and release it.

something like that.

Much Love,


it makes sense to me, too. So you are not alone.

The thoughts that count are of course the ones which you have consciously created, and from which you hope to get results.
All the other thoughts, which spring from the huge database from your instinctive and emotional body, and are not yet sorted, can be compared to the box of pastels an artist might pick from, before doing a drawing.
So you might look at them as tools.
They can be quite distracting as they don't tend to lie like packed sardines in a box...and instead they dance about to get the attention to the lower chakras...as in neediness. Nothing wrong with that, but there are limits to be placed, the way you can distinguish the cries of a baby that hasn't been fed, as opposed to a baby that just wants more and more attention, and never ceases in it's demands.

But the higher mind is where creativity needs to be in the final process stages,
with a conscious search for the statement you wish to make.
Then you have found your identity. (At least for the moment)
Later on you may want to revise it, but without the freedom to search and experiment,
and then express, there can be no higher consciousness attained.

You are no longer just reacting to the demands of others, but becoming a conscious creator.

Well, eelco, I am having a difficult time putting this into words. I will try because of course I adore you hahaha. I tried to express this last night and I ended up with a mumbo jumbo that made little sense.

Here, I will set this out as a theory, though I will tell you I resonate with this, so it is a Truth for me.

Mind was a regulator, a tool. Used to make determinations, regulate the amount of light body that can come into the physical body, access inner and outer knowledge, judge the safety of situations in ordinary reality (the stove is hot, don't touch it.)

Through living in this physical reality, beliefs began to form. Not only was the stove hot, the belief was born that this world is not a safe place. So thoughts that came about after this belief was formed, were based on a false belief. They were tainted. Still, they were produced, and popped right out of the mind.

If I follow the trajectory of the thought, in theory, it would go outside of my mind and attach to the other thoughts floating around like small bubbles. Enough thoughts do this, and the bubble, over time, is huge. It becomes a huge sewer of thoughts, produced by but also becoming part of mass consciousness.

Then what? Then a particular thought within the mass consciousness thought bubble, or sewer, finds the human mind to be quite readily accepting. In and out the sewage goes, sometimes a blatant false thought can pop in, like auracaria said, or sometimes it can be less obviously false but still intrusive.

After a while, following this life cycle of a thought, many thoughts may attract like thoughts, and many thoughts find the mind fertile ground. At some point, a person can feel like he's losing sanity because they realize their mind is so full of thoughts that they get no peace at all. Not only is the quantity of thought(s) overwhelming, but the nature of the thought(s) foreign.

Based on all of that, and my own experience weeding out what is mine and what is not, what is based on beliefs and what is based on the true nature of reality, I can understand why I have felt like I was losing my **** over the past year or two.

Much Love,

I honestly believe that there is nothing wrong with having beliefs.
It is when a belief has outgrown it's usefulness and needs to be replaced and the person stays stuck-
fearing change- that problems arise.

But would you ever leave your home if you didn't believe that the road you will be traveling on, is clear?
All of our actions carry with them an initial belief and even trust.

That's because instead of seeing beliefs in terms of right (correct) or wrong, you are presenting them in terms of usefulness. If something works, if only for a time, it is not right then wrong, it is useful, then not so useful. And maybe, like a knife that has gone blunt through use, it can be sharpened?

[1inMany]

It seems to all point to knowing where the thoughts come from, and what the beliefs are. I mean, I can't count the times I have traced some emotion, thought, or belief to something erroneous from childhood. Or something from religion. Or something from a completely unknown origin. That seems to be key.

Much Love,

Now where did that thought come from.. Not that I mind mind you..
As you know I am sort of dabbling into buddhism at the moment. Where in vipassana meditation the origin of thoughts are not followed to there root/origin but just seen as arising and passing on there own accord.

imo

Key to do what exactly?
When you follow a thought to its root/origin. does it dissolve? or do you then choose not to let it "bother" you any longer? Isn't it possible to make that choice before?
I realize I am assuming some things here, but I have followed thoughts and experiences to there root before in an attempt to clear associated Karma..
A convoluted exercise to say the least involving penduloom's, tarot, lucid dreaming, vizualisations and what not..

In the end I found we always have a choice, and although getting to the root/origin of something although enlightning in itself is not neccisary to deal with it. ACt upon it and choose from the heart what to do with it. Seeing thoughts as entities following certain rules makes them harmless and easy enough to deal with..

It came from my heart, hahaha. The same place where "sweetie" and "honey" come from when they spontaneously leave my fingertips...

Yes, allowing thoughts to come and go without letting them attach was fundamental to this practice of mine as well. The other part of it, though, is that going about my life, just living this ordinary reality, I do find lots of thoughts, or beliefs these thoughts are based on, that I am thinking, myself. Or I see myself act or react, and tracing these actions and thoughts and their underlying belief systems is also important in clearing all the crap away to live from who I am. There are so many things we do, rather unconsciously, that are based on false assumptions from our lives...or based on an accepted belief...that I have found are contradictory to the nature of reality.

When I am acting and reacting from my knowing core, I know I am where I want to be.

The key to changing it, deciding consciously to allow it to take up residence or evict it.

Here is an example. Say there is someone who is overweight, and they think they are overweight because they overeat. So they cut down the portions of food they take in, but they do not lose weight. If they choose to do the work, they may choose to investigate this and find the reason they are not losing weight is because they believe that the extra weight insulates them from closeness in relationships. Following this further, there may be a core belief that relationships are unsafe. Releasing this core belief by seeing that some relationships have ended badly but that does not translate to all relationships would allow them to adopt a more healthy belief system on which to base thoughts, creating a healthier reality. This new reality would be more in line with the true nature of reality, as really "all relationships will hurt me" is not a true statement.

Does that make sense?

[Catsquotl]

very much so.
coocking dinner at the moment. So i'll have to get back to this later. You seem to be touching a place where I dared not thread before....

With love
Eelco

[1inMany]

Going a step further in that example I gave, what if this person who investigates actually finds this core belief that "all relationships are hurtful." And what if they dug deeper and found that belief had grown into "life is full of pain"...the effects on one's life from this core belief would be numerous.

This is an interesting twist, though, what if the person had investigated, had found this belief, but had never actually been hurt by a relationship? Then whose belief is this that is taking up space in this person's life? This might be one of those thoughts of mass consciousness, for lack of a better term. If that was the case, I would think that the person who had found this belief would rather release that, or replace it with a more healthy belief system, so as to be able to live a much happier existence, more in line with the true nature of reality.

[Catsquotl]

hmm that would suggest a beliefsystem and a thought share a common core.
I am inclined to think that a thought could be an expression of a belief system, but (remember the place i dared not trod) not the other way around.

It is only when we as creators bestow "life" for lack of a better word right now into a thougt. That the thought gains power. In this case to become able to stir resonant energy within us or others. that resonant stirred energy however is not the thought.

Its something that feels closer to our being. the trick is I think to be able to see on a sensate level what the energy is that is stirred. and what the thought is.

decoupling them this way I think is one of the main benefits of vipassana or insight practise. in either case we find that the stirred energy as well as the thought arise and pass in their own way and have nothing to do with I Am.

does that make sense?

thought--->idea--->belief--->?--->reality

It is specifically our attention and our agreement that lends most power to a thoughtform. One who is adept may produce a thoughtform complex enough to basically be self sustaining. This would be fundamental to magic or magical abilities, as opposed to psychic talents or abilities. The two tend to be interrelated yet one is the result of focused will and the other is spontaneously arising.

I am inclined to think that a thought could be an expression of a belief system, but (remember the place i dared not trod) not the other way around.

I've been thinking about this.

I think maybe the thought came first, and when banded together with many other thoughts of the same wavelength, became a belief system. Just tossing this around in my head, I think the thought "the stove is hot" could have joined with "the lake is deep" and "the cliff is steep" to form "this world is dangerous." As a belief system, "this world is dangerous" might attract more thoughts of the same...vibration(?)...and grow.

Possibly.

First of all, what does the ? represent, because I'm drawing a blank there.

And then...it seems that both psychic abilities and magical abilities could be the result of focused will. In fact, I'm pondering these two genres, magic and psychic. I am at a loss to separate them. I know there is a difference, but I know not what it is. Psychic and magical abilities can both effect the physical. When I think about it, magic feels like it moves through the whole being and psychic is in the area of the mind. But who knows if that is correct.

[Catsquotl]

I think it may be simpler than that. the stove is hot example usualy is experienced at some point in life. thats when the truth of that thought sinks in and creates behaviour.

some scientists discovered that the brain makes different connection for good or bad experiences. where the resulting behaviour after a bad experience or thought has waaaay more impact on the brain specifically than good ones do.

there premiss? is that its a survival thing. remembering to run when encountering a tiger is more benefiscial in the short run than remembering which of these berries tasted better.

I agree it doesn't make much sense fearing tigers in our concrete jungle's.

[Catsquotl]

I think you are right there..
The ---->? for me represents the point where a thought or idea becomes a belief or reality.
Something has to happen at that point what that is and where in the process of becoming a reality is up for debate..

I think that somehow we have a conscious or unconscious agreement to attract a certain subset of thoughts based on inner resonance.
I don't think it is the attraction of many bad thoughts that create the resonance...

I am a thinker so it's difficult for me to grasp what it is that makes thoughts more or less real. As thinking/thoughts are the tools I use to express myself.
Still my thoughts are not me. I know that much.. They can influence how I think about the world, but not so much more..

Yes, interesting Eelco. Because what I have been able to sense at this point is that the mind is a tool. Who uses it? And what is its best use?

My conclusion to this point is that it is important for me to be able to use it when it is needed, and shut off the thoughts when Higher knowing is involved. And because thoughts used to drive me bonkers, especially at night when I would lay down and get quiet and comfy and welcome sleep as a rest from the world, it was important for me to find out where all the noise was coming from. I am a thinker also, to be sure. But...I have learned there is a time to stop it. And just Be.

[PurpleLama]

The ? refers to the mechanism by which belief goes on to form reality. 1 is reading a book called the Nature of Personal Reality (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fworldtracker.org%2Fmedia%2Flibrary%2FMetaphysics%2520%26%2520Spirituality%2FJane%25 20Roberts%2520THE%2520NATURE%2520OF%2520PERSONAL%2520REALITY.pdf&ei=ezVMU-SwNtXKsQTb74DgBg&usg=AFQjCNGxiZk7eIU3Q97Ka0cCgV1DaOx_cw&bvm=bv.64542518,d.cWc&cad=rja), which speaks to this topic, and which I will not spoil for her.

Good questions..
As there is no I the question of who is using it is a tricky one.
The best use?

I,m sort of seeing the thought stream as the "thing" tha brain is attuned to like the eyes are tuned to different frequencies of light.
WHen you open your eyes. They will pick up light, but because we are so used to that we pick and choose what we see and let our brain fill in the rest.
The thoughtstream is like that. open the brain and it wil recieve thoughts, just somehow we haven't learned to pick and choose what we think.

Another difference with the eyes seems to be the brains ability to create thoughts.. But maybe thats just an illusion. And I am just thinking that the brain creates these thoughts. A process of identification, which shouldn't be there? I don't think I am what I am seeing so why think I am what I am thinking...

Exactly! Exactly! There's a stream of thoughts just always running, it can be on a loop in my experience. That's it! And why in the world I used to get up in the morning and be the projector, like this is a film strip, voluntarily...well, it's just crazy.

And exactly, again! I am learning to pick and choose what I think :) I'm not there yet, I catch myself constantly. But I'm on the right road.

It is so cool when I can voice something going on and have other people express it even better than I can, or at least as well because they understand what I'm saying. Haha

When I think about it, magic feels like it moves through the whole being and psychic is in the area of the mind. But who knows if that is correct.

imho...magic is the how
psychic is the who, what, where and when

One who is adept may produce a thoughtform complex enough to basically be self sustaining.

I relate strongly to this from my extensive building experience. I arrange the whole project as gathered thoughtforms of how and what if and create a moving picture show of the project...adapting and overcoming while creating a building project physically becomes an extremely smooth process. People who witness the progress and are not there but at intervals do consider it magic.
Now the psychic may very well be there in foreseeing problems and issues well before occurrence and correcting for this all along the way.
Positive thoughtforms do indeed 'form' a good smoother creation in 3d!
Wisdom is wrapped in there too, methinks.

Btw, it is a free pdf download these days, should you want to revisit it. :)

I just might...
Well thinking more about this.. What makes up a thought. Is it just the words we think? Or do they hold keys to the concepts they convey?
There seems to be a difference in thought energy, where one is only seen as the words passing bye, to others which seem to incorporate a scala of emotional energy. ALtering moods etc. The soundbite I posted earlier had me tear up in the car. Not because its that good a song, but for the story that comes with it.

For those that don't know the story that paticular song was when a boys parents killed his allready thought of as dead father. When indoctrinating the kid not to tell the truth, he becomes deaf, dumb and blind..
So there's that.

Also i feel when I think about something, my understanding of it is waaay more intricate then i am able to think or speak in words. As if the words are just a part of the whole.
I'd like to think of thoughts as ROTE's as wxplained by bob/robert monroe..

Where accesing a ROTE has the whole story within. ready to be interpreted by the brain. Thats why visioning or psychic seeing can convey the same message to different people utilizing a complete different visual set.

Say the ROTE contains a concept travel.. One would see a horse, another would see a plain or a car or a boat..
Depending on personal experiences with the different ways of traveling.

With Love

I do not know what is going on, the planets alignment, or the solar flare arriving here but yesterday everyone I met was in a very good mood and this morning, everyone including me woke up completely wasted. Tired body and feeling wasted.

My daughter alarm clock did not Wake her up, and me I woke us as if I had been beaten lol.

Well, we will go through the day anyhow, not much choice here lol. Should have written here yesterday while I was in a super mood.

A thought can be a powerful thing, and a work of art can be seen as a powerful thought. Paul Auster in The Red Book tells the story of a curator who spent several years preparing a Matisse exhibition, including quite a bit of time in New York City where he stayed in the same room at the Carlyle Hotel. When the exhibition was almost ready, all the works had been traced and permission gained to borrow them, all but one that is, the main one around which he had designed the entire show. It turned out that this painting had been sitting all along just above his head in New York, in the room upstairs. It makes you wonder whether the curator was designing the exhibition or this particular painting was designing the curator.

That's a full moon, and an eclipse.

They tend to leave me literally vibrating. I wake up shaking like I've got a nerve issue. All twitchy on the inside. Totally exhausted yet full of energy that just won't stop.

This is what a 'Pluto Square' can be like, for someone who has an intense one, like I did. This went on for about 2 years, 24/7.

Yesterday was the 'coming toward' phase.

Sleep finally comes after the peak of the full moon.

Like the peak of a roller coaster ride, then the down slope.

I looked up my transits for the first time the other day. Next week, we are planning on a rare trip. One of these transits suggests that I would be much better staying at home. I'm sure my wife's chart will be saying that's it's about time we got away, so I'll go with that. And I have a hunch Carmody will be telling us the whole planet should be downing tools till further notice, or something of that sort :)

Hi guy !

My world is moving in a good way !
I feel that i'm on a good path for the moment.
I'm just about to make diner for my 2 boys ;)
I'm working at 4 PM so I have to make it before I start.
We had a great week end but today it is cloudy and it rains .....
I'm participating in an art project and I just met the artist today and it was a great experience.
She is a photograph artist and she want to meet 30 women named Nathalie's, talk to them for 1:30 h and after the meeting she takes a picture of her and she will expose it in mid Mai ! So cool hein ?

I have a question by the way ?
What is the name of this little mountain that is very energetic ?
I don't remember were it is ? I don't have much information ....

speaking of loas and augeries and the Spirit of EArth, as I expected the dreams were poignant and telling as sometimes dreams can be


for me, I was in a low tree branch with my family on the ground just below, and my wife and my youngest right up next to the trunk, with the path past the azaleas into the woods reaching around to the right, I alert my wife to a very large snake coming straight up the path toward her. we all rush into the house, with the snake right behind us into our living room, I go out the front door and the snake follows, I leap onto the ground where there is some of the vines we have as ground cover and the snake is upon me, it wraps itself all around me, the thing was at least seven or eight feet long, it had of course spiky protrusions all around the back of its head giving it quite the mythical look, as it finally unwound and it extricated itself, I awoke


my wife, she recalled driving a vehicle through some grass lands where a large group of very large felines abound, at some point one of these leaps up onto her vehicle and it passes right through the glass and is on top of her, she reaches over and opens the door and it hops right out, the dream skips and she is in a place where she has rounded up all the drugs and dealers to see them all properly disposed of, the thugs get unruly and, in my words, she smacks them down, she handles them efficiently albeit uncomfortably for them, but the will not give her pause in her "clean up operation"

my four year old dreamed of a "round and round thing that came down from the sky and when it got to the ground robots came out", he went on to relate that he was a little scared because the robots were kind of scary but they weren't mean so he stayed around to watch them. he indicated that the round and round thing was not a space ship nor was it a stargate.

Yesterday I had a headache from 4:00 PM to midnight and I took pills cause it would't go away. I went to sleep at 1:00 AM and around 1:30 AM just before falling asleep, I saw a Weird monster attacking someone by grabbing is neck trying to strangle him. Instantaneously I said to this entity: ''I love you ! I wish you love from all that exist ! If you are here to arm me, I order you to live, your are not aloud to interfere in my life with bad intentions. I have a free will and I choose love ! '' 10 seconds after I said it, my little boy (26 month) woke up screaming and crying ''mamannnnnnn, dodo dans ton lit'' (Momyyyyyyyy sleep in your bed) and he came in my room to sleep with us !

When a transit occurs it doesn't really matter whether one is at home or out.
Tests, pains and trials can be caused by a rag nail, a neighbour making noise, a flight delay, anything....

And please believe me, I have tried to escape or by-pass dreaded transits during the last 30 years with all my might.
Even if you stay in bed with the covers over your head, you can still get a toothache that can drive you insane.

My recent transit, Neptune opposite Saturn...I had figured that going to Barbados (a country that even has Neptune on the national flag)
to establish myself in business (Saturn) again would be the best way to use the energies.
Then I got that toothache, and had to have a tooth pulled. ...well, Saturn rules teeth and Neptune rules abscesses and infections.

The outcome is always spiritual development, and a knowledge that the universe is infinite in all directions.
Maintaining a positive attitude is the only way to go, no matter what.

[Flash]

Ok, maintaining a positive attitude

1. I must have an infection on my jaw or ear, it started this afternoon from the ear and the whole left jaw/ear complex;) is now hurting a lot, a bit like a tooth ache, but i had all my fillings changed one month ago, no more mercury, so it cannot be that, well, I think.

2. Worst of all, IT IS STILL SNOWING after 2 beautiful day. This morning it was around 15degrees C, now around minus 5. In one day, we go to spring, almost summer then winter. This winter we all have enough of the unending snow.

Tonight
Snow or rain
Low: -8°

Wednesday
Sunny
High: 2°

Mix of snow and water from previous melted snow = commonly called slush (not the one you sip on)

Well both I suppose. He contrasts traditional interpretation of transits as being good/bad vs the modern interpretation of them being neutral. And maybe you are refining his stuff. Which would be why yiou attract people to the subject because for the first time it begins to make some sense.

Well, it always made sense to me, once I understood that the universe was run on the hermetic principle of a hologram.
In other words, the planets are not the cause, but a parallel event, which occurs on all dimensional levels simultaneously.
The highest and the lowest.
And we could then also say that we are the cause, as we direct the energies towards our individual wish list.

Which in some cases might include the subconscious wish for punishment, if a person was thus programmed.
Think sacred geometry, and that this is how all creation operates.

When these geometric patterns are formed then something like an inter-dimensional stargate opens,
and energies swirl all over the infinite cosmos.

Carmody's explanation is similar to mine in essence, but he uses more scientific terms than I do.
In either case, both of us have never used astrology to enhance our power over others
but simply share what we observed in our own experiences during transits.

Flash, I feel your pain. 8 to 16 inches of snow expected here today. And, I just either lost a filling or cracked a tooth.

Ulli, you have a lovely flock.

Everyone, wish me (financial) luck as I take my 15 year-old car with 185,000 miles to the auto mechanic. One ring is stuck (minimum), and it seems to be running on 5 cylinders out of 6. cha ching Then, there was a sound that I was sure was the muffler falling halfway off and scraping on the ground, only it wasn't the muffler. Maybe a brake drum disintegrated?... cha ching...

Transits you say? I have no idea how to read my chart. I'm not sure what the gods are doing to Uranus, but I'm pretty sure mine is about to be sore.

Dennis

[Snowflower]

About that muffler, Dennis. We ran with a wobbling muffler all winter - it was knocked loose right after the Colorado flood going over bad road I shouldn't have tried. So, waiting for money and time to fix it...then, going UP hill, DH lost the brakes. Nursed it home with first gear and emergency brake...come to find out, muffler had been wearing on the brake line. Finally rubbed through. We live on a mountain. It is by the grace of God it didn't wear through going down the canyon. Lesson learned. Fix it when it breaks.

[ulli]

Sorry, Dennis, but your sun is on that tricky 13th degree of Aries.
Nearly at 14 degrees, which might help a bit to take you out of the firing line.
But still, I recommend that you bend down a bit to dodge the bullet.

It's not all bad, since you are well-armoured, and used to war-like situations.
So here is how the grand cross affects you.
***Pluto 90 degrees from your natal sun.
(Pluto rules the Alpha and Omega points of a curve, the beginnings and endings, life and death, transformation, all or nothing, no middle ground)
***Uranus on top of your natal sun. (Uranus rules technology, shocks, surprises, dynamite, computers)
***Mars opposite your natal sun. (Mars rules iron, energy, propulsion, cars)
***Jupiter 90 degrees from your natal sun. (Normally Jupiter is ok, but a right angle can be tricky. As in too much on your plate, over-estimating, overshooting of goals, legal issues.)

It’s not that sort of transit Dennis :)

If your car’s 15 years old, maybe it won’t have too much by way of electronics. We took one car in recently when the lights came on and the power went off, and the computer came up with 0 fault, so that was a cheap repair. Then the other car started doing the same, but I think something was done about it. They must be sensitive to solar flares. But any trip to the mechanics is going to cost a fortune. Even the wing mirrors are designed by rocket scientists these days.

Here’s chapter and verse:


Uranus opposition Mercury

Traveling at this time is not a very good idea. A pleasure trip would bring too many unexpected surprises to be enjoyable, and it would not be at all relaxing. If you travel for business, so many things may go wrong unepexctedly [that typo did not happen by accident methinks!] that you would be better off not making the trip.

I take it a trip to the garage is neither for business nor pleasure, and so not applicable.

[Carmody]

This one is the one I meant to share first

http://vimeo.com/56093731

Sometimes I wonder if it is simply about making every mistake possible, and living through them, just so those lessons are very well learned. No one learns anything when they do everything right, right done from rote learning and observation...and those who come after them follow that path of perfection. There is a form of stagnancy and death hiding inside of the perfection of perfection. Things that are identical, in an identical universe....are all dead together.

Difference is required for intelligence or consciousness, difference at the most fundamental level and throughout the given system. The greater the differences possible the greater the potentials in intelligence and consciousness of being.

To have the path of perfection in front of one, and that it can be seen, yet to live in a world built of the most horrid of mistakes, a world of horror levels of error and wrongness, well, that shows, or illustrates potentials in path, quite well.

We're not just ticking off boxes as we feel we could, if life was the easy path. If only somehow, we could get everyone else to understand... we're living the error in a most extreme fashion. The reflection is extreme, as it would have to be, in the effort of really living and learning a lesson. The difference between hearing about a book on a documentary on a person who was tortured to death.... vs being the person in the story who is tortured to death. Live the dream, so to speak.

Choices and potential paths abound. No cakewalk to be found around these here parts. Wishes and fishes -even that one is coming crashing down. (no more fishes)

Literally as if we're being made to encounter and deal with every possible mistake that could be made.

[Wind]

The moon sure has been damn bright... It's energy always feels so nebulous and it has given me the weirdest and ominous of dreams lately and keeps me awake more than normal. Yesterday I was feeling quite fine, but apparently today Mars is affecting my mood.

It's rather funny, I know that I am a very laid back, serene and kind person or at least I've been told that many times (it's hard for me to give myself any credit), but sotimes like now I have a very short fuse and I have quick temper (or a fierce passion some would say) and my words can slash like a sharp blade. I guess that's something I need to work on, because sometimes it makes me feel really embarrassed. Though it only happens when I interact with certain stubborn personalities around me and yes, I too can be extremely stubborn. At least I know when to give myself some space and keep my mouth shut...

What car?


One ring is stuck (minimum), and it seems to be running on 5 cylinders out of 6.

What ring? Piston ring? Why did you take the car to the mechanic in the first place?


Then, there was a sound that I was sure was the muffler falling halfway off and scraping on the ground, only it wasn't the muffler. Maybe a brake drum disintegrated?

Definitely not. Again I'm curious what you drive because some cars have rear discs not drums. I have a nagging suspicion that you drive a 4 door car, which (basically) universally has rear drums. Regardless, brake components don't make scraping sounds and drums don't disintegrate, the pads could but the car would actually still stop fairly well. I wouldn't recommend it though!

Where exactly did you hear the sound, and were you going over a bump, pothole or something? The majority of the time it is the rear pipes or an old rusted hanger or something. You should just physically look at it, shake it, etc.

Actually, I didn't need the blush, but I needed the chuckle. Here and now, I'm wound a little tight. Must need a beer. Or ... maybe I need a vacation. Teenage energy is some strong ****.

After explicitly, in a roundabout way, in no uncertain terms, mostly, explaining to a certain someone that I do not want to be having "family" get-togethers, it appears that Little One has been excited to come to see me for Easter this weekend. In other words, somehow word got to him that we are doing a family thing on Saturday. I will not disappoint this child, not after the life he has led already. So Easter it is. But I'm not sure how much more clear I need to be in the future with a certain someone. I thought it would be clear if I said, "No, I don't want to do Easter. And the girls really don't want to go to your house for Easter, it's just too much traveling for a dinner, and they would just rather stay here..." Now he will be here, with everyone else...

Dammit.

How in the heck did I go from here and now, and in my center, to stress? This will not do.

I have had dizziness while working tonight !!
Just like my head was turning a bit....
It happen 3 times between 19:30 to 20:45 ....
Is the moon still affecting us today like 2 days ago Ulli ?
I've read that we are entering in the Great Attractor soon (Source: La Presse Galactique (http://lapressegalactique.net/2014/04/16/activation-du-portail-d-isis-premiere-partie/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook) English Traduction: On Blogspot (http://2012portal.blogspot.ca/))
and it is just after I read it that it begins to do it in my head ....

If you check the English link you will see an astrological chart.

Have you heard about it ?
What do you think ?

Yes, Dennis, it's me. ... I get tired of looking at the "old" me. Thought I would look at the "new" me for awhile. Which means, y'all get to also. Like it or not. Haha

Much Love,Someone commented in a PM the other day that I look young, and I realize I am still using an image from about 3 years ago - and I now have a beard. I need to get a new picture of me uploaded, now that I'm an old fart. :~)

Interesting how as it evolves – not the interpretation but the actual planetary positions – astrology makes room for us old farts. Leafing through my ‘Hand book’, I see that Neptune conjunct Pluto ‘has not happened to anyone since the 1890s’. I wonder just what Victorian quirkiness was involved here. And Pluto opposition Neptune does not concern any of us, so we are all getting a rest from something else as well. On the other hand, us baby boomers and elders from our fifties on have been/will be running through Pluto sextile, square then trine Neptune, which all sounds pretty mystical and other-worldly. So I guess there are so many of us for a good reason. Maybe we are the people in that Greek cartoon of the politician preaching eleutheria (freedom), while standing on a plank over a cliff edge. The plank is held in place by his audience, who are about to walk away. That picture was worth 39 words, but I can’t find it. Try this one instead (it’s Maundy Thursday after all).

This is a messy, imperfect post and Ulli will doubtless have something to add. Thank you to her for that, and to Carmody for putting perfection in its place. Emmanuel Lévinas says, ‘Man’s perfection is his perfectibility’. Dead right he is – and of course dead wrong for summing it up so… perfectly ;) Leonardo was another surprising practitioner. He never finished anything, and for the Last Supper, not only did he famously draw inspiration from the imperfections of the wall surface, he chose the moment when the evening went pear-shaped and the conspiracy theorists set to work.

[araucaria]

What I'm trying to say with my earlier post (second last) is that you cannot simply buy wisdom by flipping a nickel at it. You have to live it, and that means all it's myriad colors, both the horror and the beauty..... and find your own balance point within.
More on perfection. Jorge-Luis Borges describes The Invention of Morel, a novella by Adolfo Bioy Casares, as being perfect, i.e. everything in place with no loose ends, both narratively and fictionally. It is the story of how a fugitive on a now desert island discovers that he is witnessing a hologram, with people coming and going who are not actually there, except on a spring tide that triggers the projection. He contrives to get into the technical area, where he manages to put the machine on record in order to insert himself into a scenario chatting up the heroine whose every move and word he knows by heart.


There is of course a gaping hole in all this perfection. This story was written thirty or forty years before video cassette recorders came on the market, and for anyone who has tried to operate one of those, this guy has to throw the mother of all magic switches to get this machine to work, ‘flipping a nickel at it’ if you will. Nothing is ever complete or seamless, as the sculptor Rodin knew well. He liked to show just bits and even the seams from his plaster casts.

Ok, here is a bit of perfection for you. At least for those who believe me.
In November of 1974 I was in New York and had my first taste of what it felt like to be celebrated.
And I could not face returning to my office in London. So I changed my ticket and booked a one week stay
in what was then the Miramar Beach hotel in Barbados. While waiting for my flight at JFK I bought several books,
And the one I opened as soon as I had fastened my seatbelt was Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle.
And while anticipating my one week trip to a tiny island called Barbados (a trip which turned out to become the ultimate life changer) I was reading the first page of Cat's Cradle which was about a guy sitting on a tiny plane headed to the tiny island of San Lorenzo.
And my London favorite eatery had also been called San Lorenzo, an Italian restaurant in a tiny street called Beauchamp Place, where I ended up (7 years later) renting a shop just two doors away, and which I closed it down in 1982 to move all of my life and possessions to 'my island in the sun' (yes, that song by Harry Belafonte was also about Barbados) only to discover that even the later parts of the Vonnegut novel matched my three D reality...the frozen years, before getting rescued by my Costa Rican prince.
And thus began a regular pattern of sitting on planes and discovering parallels and syncronicities between real life and fiction.
It doesn't get more perfect than that.

Oh, you mean Neptune sextile Pluto? I have one, as do all my contemporaries. Mine is exact, Pluto at 15' Leo, and Neptune at 15' Libra, _perfect_ 60' angle.
And when Pluto had moved on 60', it hit my natal Neptune when I was in my mid-twenties, opening a stargate which gave me a vision of what I am doing now...writing imperfectly about the perfect cosmic mathematics.

Just to distract a bit....1902 photo by Edward Steichen of Rodin's 'the Thinker'.
There was once an Avalon member who used this sculpture as his avatar.

[araucaria]

You wouldn’t catch me doing any thinking with my right elbow on my left knee – pretty excruciating. G.B. Shaw adopted this pose in the nude for a photograph that Rodin used for his bust. But then, I don’t seem to recall any of Shaw’s thinking either :)

Neptune sextile Pluto: ‘During this time many aspects of the life you have known will pass out of existence, leaving you in a position to make a new start at a new level’. Sounds about right for a birth chart.

In the context that I used it, 'flipping a nickel' at the given point of contention is the psychology of self importance tied to the act of doing little to nothing. Bass-ackwards while feeling correct from the origin point. Like a rich man in modern times giving nickels to starving children, all the while telling them 'don't spend it all in one place'. In modern time's a nickel cannot even buy a serviette, never mind even the least expensive single candy, which is probably 50 cents to a dollar these days. The most "?" of self important, illiterate, and possibly incredibly ignorant and ego driven 'lip service' that is possible. an act that could be ignorant or even purposeful. 'Lip service' is a, uhm er...synonym.

a twisted representation might be like this:

To make myself clearer, the character in the book does something pretty smart in order to step into the limelight, while the author of the story gets away with not doing very much, simply stating that it was done. The 'perfect' novella has this one very short sentence of very bad story-telling, aka magic, much in the way the Big Bang narrative relies (I forget who said this) on an ever so brief (10^-43 seconds?) suspension of the laws of dynamics. The tiny impurity that starts off the pearl or the immaculate snowflake. The act of willing something into being. The creative process is nothing but a step in the right direction from one imperfect state to the next.

Did you check your chart? When I have a Uranus transit I lose my natural coordination...especially when Mars makes a square to my natal Uranus. And now Mars is coming to the opposition point (in Libra, at the 13th degree) to Uranus in Aries (also at 13 degrees) hence 180 degree opposition.
We could expect a period of collective klutziness.

[Wind]

I just checked the transits from Cafe Astrology (http://www.cafeastrology.com/), it says this:


-133 Opposition Neptune - Mercury

Challenging aspect: You may have problems concentrating at work. You could be distracted, even "deaf" to others, or inattentive. You may be dissipated and not apply yourself. Your professional life may suffer from such behavior. Hassles seem to abound now.

-78 Square Neptune - Mars

Challenging aspect: You may be prone to fear or an overworked imagination during this rather long-term transit that can last for some months. There is a lot of drama with this position. You could lose control of your actions because you have difficulty in controlling yourself, and in thinking things through.

-37 Square Uranus - Neptune

Neptune opposition to Mercury is definitely challenging. Uncertainty, losing stuff, also one is susceptible to escapism ...and the transit to Mars is even more so.
It becomes difficult to make simple choices and decisions, as everything is just one huge blur.

Dreams could be interesting at this time, maybe some interstellar battles. Enjoy.

Dreams could be interesting at this time, maybe some interstellar battles. Enjoy.

Now how did you know that? During the past few nights my dreams have felt more real & physical than in a long while. In one of the dreams I thought that I was drowning and I actually physically felt the water around me, but then I started to ascend. It felt like a liberation, or surfacing. Before that I was ready to die and I just let go. Then in another dream I met some important people whom with I have interacted or have followed in real life and in the last dream I indeed did battle with some annoying creatures, though that wouldn't be the first time.

I'm always susceptible to escapism because I tend to be a dreamer.

[Carmody]

I would have placed the song 'dreamer' by Supertramp, in here, but Supertramp has severe sharing issues.

They've gone after every single person who ever put one of their songs up, in the studio version form. Only the public live performances are seemingly able to get away with being put up on yootoob, as that can sometimes be ambiguous, as to ownership.

Which is Ironic, as a friend was concert promoter, back in the day..and he said that Supertramp absolutely sucks live and can't perform their way out of a paper bag.

Which is Ironic..this whole prevention of the playing of their well constructed studio efforts...as.. all that people hear and see of Supertramp, is their terrible live performances. The real effect here...is the greed of whomever is doing this... in it...Supetramp writes their own death and downturn. The internet is about the continuity of being in the public eye and their continuity is just crappy live performances. So no one cares. And they fade away.

[Wind]

I forgot one of the dreams, which felt incredibly real too...

I was basically shown this, but it was much larger and I saw an opening to inner Earth. I still have no idea what it meant, all I know that it was awe-inspiring.

"Caverns" is the first book in a (currently) four book series by Mr. O'Donnell. As the title implies, the focus is on a character named McGill Feighan. In this first book, the origin of McGill and the start of his adventurous life is revealed. "Caverns" is at first a light-hearted read, but you soon find yourself drawn into the life of the hero, his triumphs and despair. McGill is a "flinger", a person who can teleport anything (himself, other people, things) anywhere that he's been before. But even for a flinger, he does not lead a normal life due to unusual events in his life, when he was a newborn. Much of the story revolves around McGill's growing-up and learning to deal with his powers, as well as the assortment of people and aliens that take an interest in his life (both good and bad).

I looked up my transits for the first time the other day. Next week, we are planning on a rare trip. One of these transits suggests that I would be much better staying at home. I'm sure my wife's chart will be saying that's it's about time we got away, so I'll go with that. And I have a hunch Carmody will be telling us the whole planet should be downing tools till further notice, or something of that sort :)


When a transit occurs it doesn't really matter whether one is at home or out.
Tests, pains and trials can be caused by a rag nail, a neighbour making noise, a flight delay, anything....

And please believe me, I have tried to escape or by-pass dreaded transits during the last 30 years with all my might.
Even if you stay in bed with the covers over your head, you can still get a toothache that can drive you insane.

My recent transit, Neptune opposite Saturn...I had figured that going to Barbados (a country that even has Neptune on the national flag)
to establish myself in business (Saturn) again would be the best way to use the energies.
Then I got that toothache, and had to have a tooth pulled. ...well, Saturn rules teeth and Neptune rules abscesses and infections.

The outcome is always spiritual development, and a knowledge that the universe is infinite in all directions.
Maintaining a positive attitude is the only way to go, no matter what.

Here is my transit burden, caused by an inner ear infection (not tooth ache as i first thought). This was yesterday, as written to a friend:

i have been extremely sick, ended up in hospital all day today with loads of intravenous antibiotics. The doctor was worried of me losing my hearing or getting scepticemia.. The bacterial spread was extremely fast. I have to go back saturday morning for a hearing exam and i have to go back if my face swell again.

it is most probably an inner otitis (inner ear infection) that spread fast, my whole right side of hte face got swollen, my jawbone were hurting, i could not eat anymore, or ove or touch that side of the face, gosh, surprising. When the doctor check in the ear, the ear canal was closed up and he had to force it, i screamed like hell. Prior to that, I was litterally dancing with pain. Those are painful men!!


So they got me 2 series of intravenous antibiotics twice plus morphine all day and despite the morphine I would still feel acute pain, completely stoned out


I am back home, now, the swelling had decrease but I am still sick

For an hospital in a country where it is free, they only keep you if it is serious, that they kept me all day and make me come back tells me that happily, I did not wait a few more days, which I would have done if I would have had to pay, and probably gotten the infection widespread then.

Hourray for public tax funded hospitals. It does save lifes and makes one get the important treatments on a timely basis.


I am now at home and will rest because next week i have a big exam for a job opportunity I truly truly truly want.

Love to you all, after pain, you all look exceptional and real lovely.

Even if you stay in bed with the covers over your head, you can still get a toothache that can drive you insane.

My recent transit, Neptune opposite Saturn...I had figured that going to Barbados (a country that even has Neptune on the national flag)
to establish myself in business (Saturn) again would be the best way to use the energies.
Then I got that toothache, and had to have a tooth pulled. ...well, Saturn rules teeth and Neptune rules abscesses and infections.

The outcome is always spiritual development, and a knowledge that the universe is infinite in all directions.
Maintaining a positive attitude is the only way to go, no matter what.

Here is my transit burden, caused by an inner ear infection (not tooth ache as i first thought). This was yesterday, as written to a friend:

i have been extremely sick, ended up in hospital all day today with loads of intravenous antibiotics. The doctor was worried of me losing my hearing or getting scepticemia.. The bacterial spread was extremely fast. I have to go back saturday morning for a hearing exam and i have to go back if my face swell again.

it is most probably an inner otitis (inner ear infection) that spread fast, my whole right side of hte face got swollen, my jawbone were hurting, i could not eat anymore, or ove or touch that side of the face, gosh, surprising. When the doctor check in the ear, the ear canal was closed up and he had to force it, i screamed like hell. Prior to that, I was litterally dancing with pain. Those are painful men!!


So they got me 2 series of intravenous antibiotics twice plus morphine all day and despite the morphine I would still feel acute pain, completely stoned out


I am back home, now, the swelling had decrease but I am still sick

For an hospital in a country where it is free, they only keep you if it is serious, that they kept me all day and make me come back tells me that happily, I did not wait a few more days, which I would have done if I would have had to pay, and probably gotten the infection widespread then.

Hourray for public tax funded hospitals. It does save lifes and makes one get the important treatments on a timely basis.


I am now at home and will rest because next week i have a big exam for a job opportunity I truly truly truly want.

Love to you all, after pain, you all look exceptional and real lovely.

Hi Flash, I'm so sorry that you went through all that pain. I had a pretty nasty time with my toothache a month ago, which I still remember clearly.
Anyway, I had a look t your chart and could not see what was going on that would have triggered such a painful ear infection. The only transit which was exact was Chiron trine your Saturn. I have heard of malignant trines before...normally trines are benign. Then I saw it....Saturn (in Scorpio) had hit the midpoint between your Saturn/ Moon conjunction.
Midpoint transits are harder to spot. So you can put this down to the second Saturn return...and the moon is of course all about sensitivity...so lets hope you cleared out some ancient Karma and can now start on a fresh new cycle, all renewed.
When Scorpio is involved pains can be hellish.

That is sooooooo strange Ulli, I had not told anybody and I rarely think that way, but i had the feeling that i was clearing something, some old karmic debts, or something having to do with not hearing, or not wanting to hear, or hearing the wrong things.

I went to a meditation class last week end, with a very developed (spiritually) teacher, and someone ask me to ask him a question because for some reasons she could not, and he blasted me with one short sentence for asking too much from the head instead of the heart. He was right, I had mentally processed the question to be able to ask, and it was not my question.

The feeling was "OK OK" like a clueless teenager, then a feeling of well, crying, holding up my throat got very soar, then a feeling of rejection, etc etc and all those images from the past emerging in cascades. Images of the fear to speak from the heart and wanting to disappear, not be noticed, in a small corner in a basement, to hide. It went on for 24 hours, then this terrible ear infection.

It resonnated a bit like once, when Carmody wrote on a post to tell me to stop writing about the fairy love kind - you know, the love and light wanting too much to be love lol. He was right too. However my reaction was not as drastic lol.

I know something will change or is / has changed

One lesson for sure: don't mix in somebody else's incapacities and salvation demands, and ask yourself if a question is worth asking, finally speak from the heart (I do not mean emotions here, but heart).

For those who do not know, my daughter nicknamed me the scientific mom lol. Although i am far from being as brilliant as some here, I do have a tendency to be intellectual and I love science.

Thanks Ulli for checking my chart and your comments.

I find that Geminis are so brainy, and have such high mental capacity that they frequently don't understand
that the real self has little to do with the intellect.
So it often takes some painful event to kick them into a higher gear.

Having a great intellect is a gift, and yet one should never forget that it is only a tool
which needs to be put back in the tool box once a job is done.

[Carmody]

gotta run for a bit, but I thought I'd post this before I forget.

Let' see if folks can figure out what this means....


Ancient Earth might have had an extraterrestrial supply of vitamin B3 delivered by carbon-rich meteorites, according to a new analysis by NASA-funded researchers. The result supports a theory that the origin of life may have been assisted by a supply of key molecules created in space and brought to Earth by comet and meteor impacts. "It is always difficult to put a value on the connection between meteorites and the origin of life; for example, earlier work has shown that vitamin B3 could have been produced non-biologically on ancient Earth, but it's possible that an added source of vitamin B3 could have been helpful," said Karen Smith of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. "Vitamin B3, also called nicotinic acid or niacin, is a precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is essential to metabolism and likely very ancient in origin." Smith is lead author of a paper on this research, along with co-authors from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., now available online in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

There was a strange noise in the garden this morning.

When I went outside there was a guy hiding Easter eggs
in the top of the coconut tree.

Do not be dismayed that the SUN is entombed for three days below the horizon on the winter solstice, and fear not the longest night as the pagans did, using blood sacrifice rituals to appease their fears. There is no need for atonement, for after three days, as is written in all of the ancient texts from thousands of years ago, in the stone hieroglyphs and Sumerian tablets, as well as the astrology hidden in the bible, that the SUN does rise again and brings its life giving properties to the earth, and you shall eat again and surely not die. The Spring does come, and spring equinox is the festival of Easter, when the earth is born again, and the SUN has risen, and the days of the SUN become longer and longer, until the festival of the summer solstice, when the SUN is at its zenith, and we prepare once again for the fall of man, bringing in the harvest from our own efforts, preparing to fall into the darkness of the cold winter.

Why is it that we still believe in pagan blood sacrifices and death, when it is assured that the SUN will return? It takes 26,000 years for one precession of the Equinoxes to go through all twelve of the constellations, and it was not till Pisces that the SUN of man came. That “age” of 2100 years is only a small part of the story, only one twelfth of the last precession, and it does no one any good to ignore the hundreds of thousands of years of prior history of this earth. Only the elite controllers, who came from the sky, defiled our women, infused us with their DNA, and still to this day control all of the historical documents, such as the bible, who benefit from this secrecy. They wrote the story and left out 90% of the truth that is there for us. They murdered and killed the indigenous Gnostics, burned the library at Alexandria, went all around the Mediterranean and murdered anyone who did not go along with Rome’s sanctioned story. But the truth is still out there for those who are willing to look deeper.

So, go forth and plant seed! Happy Easter everyone!

It has begun. K has a sign that is 14 degrees in a cardinal sign. Upheaval, trauma. That's what it looks like. Little One has one that is 15 degrees, so I think he is observing this, being effected but it isn't happening to him. We found out yesterday he has a reaction to fire ant bites. Everyone does, but his is a bit severe.

From my new perspective, I see that upheaval is necessary for repositioning. Even my last six months. It's really only traumatic when there is identification with the physical world. Which, obviously, we are supposed to have. Otherwise what good would it do to be here? But I can say, for certain, that I am not nearly as entangled in the physical as I used to be.

M has gone to stay with K and Little One for a while. Her plans are to smudge, burn incense, clean and clear the space...and then...be my little warrior. Though there is a conscious aspect to this, I know the lion's share is unconscious on her part.

More objective nowadays than ever before, my prayers are not to prevent suffering. My prayers are that the Highest Good unfolds, with the least amount of trauma or pain. Yes, especially for K. But after the past six months, I see that some discomfort will be necessary. Em, M and I are sending some good stuff in K's direction. It looks like puffy golden clouds of energy that surround her as she navigates rough waters...in a life boat showing wear. Little One is already surrounded, though I still see the trauma that unfolds.

It's Okay. Trust.

and Much Love,

Dear David,

Whilst making your enqiries did it not occur to you to pop your head round the door of the Ministry of Defense to ask those chaps ? the DoT are far too busy filling pot holes.

Alternatively you could have just stuck your head out of the window and looked up.

- or you do know, and thats why you promised unlimited funds for recent flood damage repairs in Conservative dominated constituancies in the South West.

Don't want another Lynmouth Disaster, do we ?

Project Cumulus


Operation Cumulus was a project of the UK government in the 1950s which was investigating weather manipulation, in particular through cloud seeding experiments. Known jokingly within the project as Operation Witch Doctor,[1] the project was operational between 1949 and 1952.

this reminds me of a very funny story:

My first job ever, a summer student job, at 16 or 17, was as a typist for the air force. So I was located at a small airport typing contracts and demands for bids to repair the airport, all summer long, one side of the booklet in French, the other side in English, on an old typewriter with 3 carbon copies to be erased everytime i would make a mistake - at the end of the summer i was typing more than 100 words a minute, with no mistakes. lol and have since excellent fingers to give massages lol.

Well, the letter S is typed with the lelft ring finger, and the letter L with the right ring finger, sometimes typing fast you become finger dyslexic kind of. So I was typing the contracts to repair the airport air strips, and sending them back to engineering.

One day, one young engineer came back in the secretaries office and told me "you just had to plainly tell us what you truly thought of us, no use to use subterfuges" and then told everybody: "instead of typing - you have to plug all holes, she typed : you have to plug a s s holes" Everybody laugh and I became tomatoe red, but they laughed still more when I asked "what does arse holes means" you see, I could not speak English and I was typing exclusively by sight, not understanding the English version of what I typed, and nobody had guessed.

So yes, i did tell the military once in my life that they were arse holes. lol

Was going over some of my favourite Wingmaker passages just now, and thought I'd share this:


Dr. Neruda: "No one who's invested in astronomy, cosmology, or physics likes to think that their discipline is misguided by false or incomplete assumptions. But they are. And there's a good reason."

Sarah: "Which is?"

Dr. Neruda: "Imagine that the observable universe is the middle rung on a ladder of unknown length. Each of the rungs above and below our observable universe represents an order of magnitude beyond our senses. For example, let's say that the rung above the one that represents our observable universe is the outer perimeter of our Milk Way galaxy. Using a telescope we can see the next rung above us, but the rest of the ladder is lost in a thick haze.

"Looking downward -- at a microscopic level with an electron microscope -- we can add another rung below our observable universe, and with a particle accelerator, we can even theorize what the next rung below that might be, but the rest of the ladder trails downward into a thick haze no different than when we try to look up.

"With all of our technology and theory, we still have no idea how tall the ladder is or even whether the ladder is straight or begins to curve like a double-helix. We don't know if perhaps the top end of the ladder curves to such a degree that it actually connects with the bottom end of the ladder. And we don't even know whether there might be additional ladders."

Found another cool read today...front page of the American Buddha site



To many people who think themselves as worldly-wise, even cynical, the notion of a worldwide conspiracy of warmakers, committed to the violent exploitation of humanity, seems ridiculous. They reach this conclusion not because there is a lack of evidence in the form of persistent warfare, the creation of horrific chemical, biological, thermonuclear and tactical nuclear devices, and mass profiteering by arms manufacturers, but from mere unwillingness to consider it. They reach this conclusion simply because they have never met a politician, banker, defense executive, or intelligence agent who admitted being a member of a secret society. They know nothing about the habits and behavior of billionaires and their armies of dependents. They think, simply because they consort neither with the rich nor with pedophiles, that there are no rich pedophiles, or at least, that the vices of the rich and powerful are elevated vices that do not include sick kicks like having sex with children. They cannot conceive of how the destruction of the Three Towers on 9/11 could have been executed as an inside job, because they think the secrets would have come out by now. They think the secrets would have come out by now because they do not know how secrecy is enforced. They do not know that secrecy is enforced by elevating people into wealthy, powerful positions, then inducing those wealthy, powerful people to indulge in sick kicks, like having sex with children, and recording those indiscretions on video, so they can blackmail them when it is time to get some legislation passed, some contracts signed, or to keep something from being investigated. The Franklin Cover-up provides an education for people who haven’t yet learned about these aspects of the lifestyles of the rich and perverse.

Many people also cannot believe that secret societies exist that worship death and destruction, whose members believe in chaos and anarchy as creative principles, and are so twisted in their view of life that they view fertility as disgusting. Again, this disbelief is not grounded in a lack of evidence. While any two Mexicans meeting in a parking lot to deliver methamphetamine will constitute a conspiracy beyond a reasonable doubt, when dozens of wealthy men meet at secluded locations in the company of their lawyers to make business and political agreements that will net them billions in profits that they will then stash in offshore accounts to avoid taxation, much or all of which is felonious conduct, to describe this as a conspiracy is laughable. These people are not Mexicans! Take the Hollywood media moguls, who constitute a cabal that operates cloaked in secrecy, spends oceans of money with poor accounting, notoriously consumes narcotics and maintains addicts as paid talents, runs a secret ratings system in which the Catholic and Episcopal churches have an official role, and launders money for the mob. Hollywood has a long and well-documented relationship with the military, and has reliably glorified war, the American fighting man, and the rightness of the capitalist cause, ever since its emergence as a media force. Modern movies have elevated rape to an art form, and critics seriously discuss the merits of gore-drenched cinema, turning rape, murder and torture into the central dramatic focus of modern entertainment. Sadism is our daily fare. In their personal lives, Hollywood personalities are often genuinely debauched beasts, and the murders of actresses as elevated as Natalie Wood have gone virtually uninvestigated. As for pedophilia, need we say more than “Sunset Boulevard?”

Many people also cannot believe that religion can be at fault in leading humanity down the path to destruction. But when judged by considering their culpability for engendering woman-hatred, there is little that can be said to get them off the hook. The Islamic mullas have been vilified enough for their cruelty to women, but they attain no special distinction in an objective review of the field of all world religions. Like spiteful children, generation upon generation of monks, magicians, tantrikas, swamis and saints have complained that they never wished to be born, and have offered imaginary antidotes to existence, closing their eyes to the sun, the wind, the burgeoning fields and the falling rain, seeking solace in their male minds. The Dalai Lama, often identified as some type of ideal human being, actually comes from a tradition that is steeped in the concept of female sacrifice as a means of capturing the female essence and appropriating its “gynergy” in the quest for enlightenment. Nearer to home, but still steeped in this tradition of stealing the female identity of women, every Sunday all across the United States, men dressed in robes like ancient patriarchs, called priests and ministers, stand in pulpits proclaiming the eternal verities of God the Father. For a connection to Nazism, need we say more than “Cardinal Ratzinger?” For a connection to pedophilia, will it be sufficient to say “Archdiocese of Philadelphia?”

So I am delving into astrology and the grand cross.

the moment mars hits 13.59 degrees Libra.

The Ascendant is in gemini. which gives some thinking room.
Sun in Taurus. which provides stability..

Moon in aquarius, making us think about the accompanied emotions before we act maybe.
Venus is in Pisces also reaffirming feelings of trust..

Well as an astrology layperson just on the brink of gaining some understanding in this field, I could be wayy of the mark..

mars is retrograde right? so all that fiery energy is tempered a bit.
Anyway I think nothing major will really happen....

We just had a national forest engineer come up for a consult on best repairs for the flood damage to our road from last September's flood (since there are three sections that cross national forest.) He said that they had submitted an emergency fund request of $15 million for flood damage repair, and had received $625,000 instead. So, the question is, did they get a laughably low amount because the Feds have no money, or because the Feds don't want the roads repaired?

It's getting close to time to actually start road work this spring. We have two residents on the road who are totally agreeable to doing the work. They have the equipment and the skill. They got the road fixed enough to be driven on last fall, without getting any "permits" or paperwork filed - after all, they did it while we were trapped behind canyons gouged into the road so deep that a person could not even WALK down the road. So, now one of the road association board members is demanding that we obtain bids from multiple sources before giving the job to two residents who are also on the board, because some unknown person might someday, for some unknown reason, charge the board with "conflict of interest." In the meantime, the road gets muddier and less drivable, the FEMA grants sit here unspent, cost of road base continues to escalate, and no one was assigned the task of actually getting bids because no one really has a cohesive, written down, engineer approved and therefore expensive, PLAN for road repair. And two men with backhoes who know how to do it sit and wait.

My guess is that the Feds don't want the roads repaired. They can get the banks to print trillions of dollars, remember?
My other guess is they don't want people to sort out their issues and have communities making a united effort either.
Our little online Village will pray for that road to get fixed, never mind the lack of funds.

You are doing great here. The only thing I would change is that Aquarius moon makes you think before you act.
Aquarius is about knee jerk RE-actions, and the thinking usually happens later, when they see the damage done by their over-reactions.

This grand cross has done much for people waking up to astrology and learning how it all works, and for this I am eternally grateful.
My wish came true.
Keep on studying, everyone, first your own charts, then your parents', your kids', your spouses' your friends' charts....
and you will soon discover that the astrology cover-up has done more damage to humanity's awakening process and empowerment than even the UFO/ET cover-up.
But all this will now change. Power to the people!!!

Ulli, we have enough money to fix our road. The holdup is this board member demanding bureaucratic nonsense. I am also on the board. So are the two men willing to do the work, but they can't afford to do it without compensation, and she is demanding getting bids from unknown others before letting these two start the job. She is afraid of someone charging us with conflict of interest because the men are on the board who are willing and would be hired. There are only 35 people in this road association. The whole thing is insane.

Or, 'Taking another swing at it'.

gotta run for a bit, but I thought I'd post this before I forget.

Let' see if folks can figure out what this means....


Ancient Earth might have had an extraterrestrial supply of vitamin B3 delivered by carbon-rich meteorites, according to a new analysis by NASA-funded researchers. The result supports a theory that the origin of life may have been assisted by a supply of key molecules created in space and brought to Earth by comet and meteor impacts. "It is always difficult to put a value on the connection between meteorites and the origin of life; for example, earlier work has shown that vitamin B3 could have been produced non-biologically on ancient Earth, but it's possible that an added source of vitamin B3 could have been helpful," said Karen Smith of Pennsylvania State University in University Park, Pa. "Vitamin B3, also called nicotinic acid or niacin, is a precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which is essential to metabolism and likely very ancient in origin." Smith is lead author of a paper on this research, along with co-authors from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., now available online in the journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

This is what I was talking about. the precursor for a 'return to youth', is apparently in outer space. Space is not full of it but vitamin B3 is apparently there. Any amount of it in space is a generally a big deal as space is huge and..shall we say..all pervasive. So, the anti-aging aspects of 'life' are common - in space. That the universe naturally gives and is in a space and state of a longer life than we have right now. that the universe is nothing if not efficient. Nature, or the universe is efficient.

Which brings us to a question, of our decreasing life spans and what that is all about. who or what is responsible for our decreasing lifespan, as the universe at large is saying that long human lives, in extreme health, in perfect form, is the NORM, not the exception. That the universe naturally moves toward it. That something about our life here, in the physical sense, is some form of a shifted or forced abomination, possibly.

Which means that we really may have had a time when b3 was so abundant that we did indeed live for a very ling time, in perfect youthful tone, body, and health.

Instead of this downturn we have now.

Vitamin b3, or niacin, this begets, or is the precondition required for high metabolic activity. Activity of the correct kind.

Declining NAD+ Induces a Pseudohypoxic State Disrupting Nuclear-Mitochondrial Communication during Aging

Or, the opening statement of the scientific Medical study which was entirely successful, and not difficult to enact TOMORROW....:


Ever since eukaryotes subsumed the bacterial ancestor of mitochondria, the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes have had to closely coordinate their activities, as each encode different subunits of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a hallmark of aging, but its causes are debated. We show that, during aging, there is a specific loss of mitochondrial, but not nuclear, encoded OXPHOS subunits. We trace the cause to an alternate PGC-1 a/b-independent pathway of nuclear-mitochondrial communication that is induced by a decline in nuclear NAD+ and the accumulation of HIF-1a under normoxic conditions, with parallels to Warburg reprogramming. Deleting SIRT1 accelerates this process, whereas raising NAD+ levels in old mice restores mitochondrial function to that of a young mouse in a SIRT1-dependent manner. Thus, a pseudohypoxic state that disrupts PGC-1 a/b independent nuclear-mitochondrial communication contributes to the decline in mitochondrial function with age, a process that is apparently reversible.

They are saying, in plain English: A change in metabolism that is easy to enact, and apparently real and correct, with no side effects, that reverses aging in the real and actual sense.

The time frames? A month or two. one-two months for going from 60 year old to 20 year old muscle and body tone. Which means life and function flow as well, as a youthful geriatric is a force to behold. That a 60 year old person with 40+ years of life learning and life scars, returned to a body with a 20 yr old's metabolism and body function...would be a force to behold in a world of 20 year olds.

Awesome Carmody...and this interesting quip (very interesting) from Encyclopedia Britannica on mitochondria:

The maternal inheritance of mtDNA has proved vital to research on human evolution and migration. Maternal transmission allows similarities inherited in generations of offspring to be traced down a single line of ancestors for many generations. Research has shown that fragments of the mitochondrial genome carried by all humans alive today can be traced to a single woman ancestor living an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. Scientists suspect that this woman lived among other women but that the process of genetic drift (chance fluctuations in gene frequency that affect the genetic constitution of small populations) caused her mtDNA to randomly supersede that of other women as the population evolved. Variations in mtDNA inherited by subsequent generations of humans have helped researchers decipher the geographical origins, as well as the chronological migrations of different human populations. For example, studies of the mitochondrial genome indicate that humans migrating from Asia to the Americas 30,000 years ago may have been stranded on Beringia, a vast area that included a land bridge in the present-day Bering Strait, for as long as 15,000 years before arriving in the Americas.

Grateful to be back to work for family and coming back strong from my accidents in CA and MA from seizures in December last year and February this year. All is ok and so glad I found out I had been having them(mild) all my life and they simply kicked in strong from that 3000 mile drive with no sleep to the west and age too.

This is at my Sister and Brother-in-law's where I built the garage a couple years ago that I had shared pictures Here and Now... You can see it in the background.

I am making the back screen porch living space and adding an 8' by 11' section and will be putting a deck off of it facing east in the backyard. I will be doing all the carpentry finish inside also.

My Sister has been wanting to stretch the kitchen and enlarge the main back entry for years because Guests always congregate in that area and Her smaller kitchen when She has gatherings. She is using Her own retirement money : )

Hi Grip...Good Day to You and Yours : )

Yes...it is a temp, I will be putting an lvl beam there for support of the original porch rafters and open up that section cleanly. That beam section comes down a bit lower than the new ceiling in the addition(trying to watch the cost and not tear all the existing work apart)...I will be wrapping it with finish trim and it will be a bit above door height.

I have since gotten the new ceiling and roofline done on the addition and had to get it done expediently and make it weathertight with felt as I have to head to the Cape for a couple days. That is why You also see the full headers at the new walls coming in...my Sister will be positioning the new windows(3 1/2' by 5 1/2') under by feel...so giving Her good options later while I get done what needs to get done. Thanks for the inquire : )

I'll share a few more pics as She takes them in the process.

Good morning. Things are weird this week. They just are. I'm disconnected, but no complaints about that. I would rather be disconnected somewhat than in the middle feeling like everything is a big drama. One day all of this will be past tense, and I guess one thing I will have gained is more experience. More experience will mean more compassion, more empathy for what others are going through. Not sure I need more of that, but I'm trying to focus on the positive.

I hope my plans to go for a drive this weekend work out. There is something solid about connecting, even when everything is fluid.

Much Love,

I've done it again. I thought this week was "next" week. Showed up for an appointment a whole week early. Sent out a shipment a week too soon.
A few years ago, I picked up some yogurt and saw the thing's expiration was a whole year prior. Picked up another package, and it was also expired the previous year. I fumbled for about two three minutes, and it dawned on me what year it was.
There was also a time when I went on for months thinking I was a year older than I actually was.
I'm not usually absent minded, but I have occasional time lapses like that. I am usually very punctual. I also get the feeling of déjà vu often.
Is it my mind playing tricks on me? Or are those brief moments of time lapse a peek onto beyond the matrix? :)

A full cup has to be emptied before it can begin to contain new things.

This means teardown, before addition of the new.

They generally happen at the same time.

When people think they are going nuts, that is the natural process of teardown so the new can get in.

Or, "insanity" is part of the process of becoming more sane, more informed, more knowledgeable.

Baraka "is an ancient Sufi word, it means happiness or luck, a smell, a breath and even the essence of life, from which the evolution springs. Baraka is also a spiritual power, a gift of God's consent. Baraka is what temples, monasteries, pilgrimage and sacred places produce and because of which people travel to these places and what they take from them. It is love: the more of it is taken by the pilgrim, the more of it is available. The bigger is demand for this spiritual commodity, the bigger is the offer. Baraka is what spiritual seakers look for and which dancing dervishes reach. Baraka is also a blessing, a touch of the divine.

Baraka is somewhat spiritual, imaginary, but not unreal field of information about the feasibility and ability of man to attune to something that transcend him by far. It is divine grace, cosmic love and cosmic energy."

After emptying my full cup I ended up with an even fuller plate, haha.
And my plate is so full now that I don't even have time to eat.
Let alone figure out what's happening.

But I did go through my astro files about a month ago, and checked who in the family was going to get hit by the Grand Cross, and so now the first reports are coming in.
People who had always been lucky and had been spared until now are suddenly losing jobs, or partners, or health.
There's no escape.
Weird that the degree on which it all came to pass was 13.
If anyone wasn't superstitious about that number before they will be now.

[PurpleLama]

I always loved the number thirteen, and black cats, too.

The cross seems to have treated my house pretty well.

My employer had her thyroid removed, for cancer, recently. I cannot help but think of all the nasty things she has had to say to me, and to others, over the years. I do feel pity for her, for her recent condition. If she goes, so too does the business, and likewise the albatross around my neck. Whether I go full blown farmer, or whether I open my own shop, should the place shut down, I reckon will be down to how the stars align. Universe will inform.

I will post up some garden pics later today. First, to take them.

Update, the phone had somehow reset itself to store pictures on the device instead of the storage card, so I will try again in the morning.

[Carmody]

Both, is my guess. Shop and farm.

You know how that dang universe thing is. Once you master a task, or situation.... it ups the ante.

The screws are always waiting in the wings, warming a bench somewhere..waiting for the universe coach to 'put them in'.

Hi Mini Flash,

My daughter loves these Spirit Science videos also. I didn't know there was a forum though. Have you checked it out? If you have, what did you think of it?

Here and Now,

I'm sitting here in the quiet. My external environment is so peaceful that I can hear the tick tock of the battery operated clock in the kitchen. Such relief. Isis is quite curious about this glass of beer I'm having. She is intrigued by it, which I'm getting a kick out of. The sun is going down in the sky, the heat has peaked and is getting ready to take its leave. It still does that for a few more weeks. The girls are at their Dad's, getting ready for a camping trip. I thought they were very excited about this, but actually they would rather just be home.

Very funny, Isis. She submitted that before I posted this:

I have so much to share, But because of my compromised memory and state of mind I have not been able to. This is a cycle that has always been part of my being. It is both creative and destructive. It will pass and balance. I can't wait for that because I miss your wonderful company. when I am up to making sense and able to contribute positively I will rejoin you. That is one of the troubles with me. There are highs and lows but at least I am real! I love you all!

The other day we were talking with someone about how no French workers could be found to pick cordons apples at a comfortable height, owing in part to the delicate idea of what constitutes hard work these days, and in part to the stoopid ’elf ‘n‘ safety regulations that employers have to deal with. The guy gave as an example of these the one that says that if a 12-meter ladder is too short for anything, you have to use a cherry-picker. I was not impressed – it actually sounded fairly sensible to me. But then, at altitudes of over forty feet you wouldn’t catch me in anything smaller than an Airbus… So then he came up with a much better example. Being in pest control, when he is not chasing after high-flying hornets, there are rats and mice to contend with on the floor. The usual treatment for rats is of course poisoned grain, but if you are somewhere where food is being produced, that is too dangerous – it might get in the food!? – and instead, you are supposed to use what is called a ‘placebo’: unpoisoned grain. In other words, you are expected to feed the beasts! This guy is still trying to work out what to say to the rats (and how to say it) to explain that this stuff will kill them just as well as the real thing, and get them to eat it anyway. Some mindless fellow in Brussels seems to have stumbled across a new ‘displicebo’ effect, but obviously hasn’t thought it through. This might be a promising lead to find a way to eradicate the current plague of euroc-rats and maybe even the larger family of buroc-rats. In the meantime though, the placebo effect seems to be aimed at the victim of the infestation to make them believe something is being done about their problem. So, instead of possibly finding a bit of coagulant in your food, you might just understand stories one reads of finding a whole animal.

Of course, this would not happen in the water industry, where people who probably say homeopathy is bunkum found a concentration of one pee in 38 million gallons of treated water too risky to use. How many tons of good fluoride down the drain, I wonder?

I developed this with help from my friend Brenda Bashalan from Canada who is now in the spiritual realm.


The Pluto Cycles

Which Planet do you think represents your birth? I would say that Pluto does. My reason for this is this; It is the only planet which represents the end of a cycle and a new beginning of one. It is normally equated with transformation from one state into another one. We could say that it represents the end of a purely spiritual existence into a physical existence. I don't think any reasonable astrologer would argue with that. So, let us assume that Pluto represents Birth, our birth as an individual. As we astrologers use what we call ten planets, which includes the Sun and the Moon, let us use the ten in a cycle. For example, the swiftest planet the Moon in its monthly cycle conjuncts and aspects each of our Natal planets in what I think as a monotonous cycle. This repeats into our life as we live each day to another. This action of the Moon creates a pattern which we may or may not be aware of. So without further ado, let me explain something here.
Where ever Pluto is in your natal chart note the number of degrees it is placed in your chart. In my chart it is at 13degrees 06 in Leo. I was born on the 11th October 1946. Edinburgh, Scotland @ 9.18 PM so Pluto represents my birth day 11th of the month. Pluto is also the 21st day of the month and the 31st day of the month and the 1st day of the month. Do you you get the drift here? If there is a 28 day month or a leap year month of 29 and the other months of 30 it doesn't matter. Pluto in my life is always the 1st,11th,21st and 31st of any month. Which ever day of the month you are born Pluto represents that day and repeats 10 days after, example; if you were born on the 2nd day of any month the Pluto would be the 12th day, the 22nd day and back to the 2nd day. Only 3 days in the month.
Now let me explain how to set your daily calendar of the Pluto cycle. The only thing about this Pluto cycle is that it represents a beginning of an ingrained pattern of our thinking and behavior in our daily lives which we may not be conscious of.
It really is not a Pluto cycle at all, Pluto only represents the beginning of a certain pattern in our lives, which have to do with each of the planetary influences in our lives.
It is most helpful if we can be aware of such influences because if we are NOT aware, certain outer circumstances come around to make us aware. If we ARE aware then the outer circumstances are not necessary.

In my Natal chart Pluto is at 13degrees 06 in Leo. The sign does not matter in this, it is the degree that matters.

So looking at my chart going anti clockwise the next Planet is the Sun at 17 degrees (Libra) and the next planet we come to is Uranus at 21 (Gemini). I give you an example of my cycle:

13 deg Pluto = 1st day of any month
17 deg Sun = 2nd
21 deg Uranus = 3rd
27 deg Venus = 4th
1 deg Moon = 5th
3 deg Jupiter = 6th
5 deg Mercury = 7th
7 deg Saturn = 8th
8 deg Neptune = 9th
11 deg Mars =10th
13 deg Pluto =11th

Now a general view on what a planetary day entails: On your Pluto day you will be engaged, either in your thinking or your outwardly actions, on tidying things up and starting new things. Finishing and beginning. It depends on how your Pluto is placed in your Natalchart.
On your Sun day you will be concentrating on yourself the way your Sun is placed in your Natal chart.
On your Moon day you will be emotional and re-acting to stuff according to your Moon's placement in your chart.
On your Mercury day you will be doing a lot of thinking, talking, doing things, writing letters, texting, on the telephone yapping. It depends on how Mercury is placed in your chart.
On your Venus day you will be loving, caring, listening to music, dancing, painting, artistic stuff, all according to you Venus natal placement.
On your Mars day you will be busy, energetic, more physical than usual according to the Mars in your chart.
On your Jupiter day you be fortunate, preaching, lucky, extravagant, generous etc. in as much as your Jupiter's placement.
On your Saturn day you will be responsible, learning, dutiful, in fact working hard, dieting, controlling others or yourself all as your chart signifies.
On your Uranus day you will be surprised at something, on computer a lot, anything to do with electronics or groups of people, interested in parapsychology, mystical according to your natal position.
On your Neptune day you will be either telling lies or listening to lies, creative in music, dancing, according to your chart definition.
Day dreaming, vague, psychic according to your natal chart.

Try it and note what you were doing that day. I will try to post my chart so you can understand what I mean ok?

PS I posted the wrong chart, I will try to correct this mistake
The correct chart is the top one with my sun at Libra. Sorry about that folks. That is the first time I tried to post an attachment. I see there are lots of posters here who seem to be able to do it. I am learning.

I'm going to check my history on google chrome to see where the time has gone

Stan

PS I am curious where the time went

I am satisfied I have not been abducted. My mind is my refuge it would seem. I hide there a lot me finks.

[ulli]

If anyone wants to experiment with their Pluto cycles and dont have a natal chart, I can send them it if they PM me ok?

Stan

What a fascinating contribution, Stan. I will definitely give this a try, and see how it plays out.
It makes sense, even though if some may find it hard to believe.
But years ago, when I first learned about progressions (one day of life equals one year of life)
or horary astrology, it found it hard to believe as well, yet when observing the findings ....
lo, and behold!
One can only marvel at this mysterious universe.

[aranuk]

Hi Ulli, I think we might be telepathing. I was just at the minute I received your PM I was hitting your name to PM you! Anyway what I just thought of was that if the Moon was conjuncting that same planet on the day it was the focus, do you think that it would be an added influence of that planets effect? I think it would.

Stan

PS I am still awake, but I must go to bed soon.:eek:

Could it be that you switched computers, and you are on one where the summer time adjustment has not been factored in? By how much is it off... How many hours?

[aranuk]

No Ulli, I must have been in deep thought. I have accounted for the missing time.

Before I go to bed (It is 7.25am) Many years ago I was due to give a talk at the Scottish Astrology Group and my topic was this Pluto Cycle. I had not divulged to my friends what it was all about. They only knew what the topic was. My talk was advertised and there was expected to be about 30 in the audience. My three friends who were members were all men. Sometimes for a bit of fun they and I would upset the speaker if it was one of us. I knew they might be awkward with me so at the beginning of my talk I asked the other three what they had been doing other than work for the last week. They all told me they had done several things on each of the days. Then after the talk I asked them for their planetary days to compare results. When we mused it over I was correct with something like 5 out seven days with each of them. That was not bad was it? Of course if they had known they would have made sure I was wrong 7 out 7 just for fun.

Ulli that's more Malevich you're giving me (white on white), something square something I expect :)

Stan, fascinating stuff, but since when was time supposed to behave itself? in the days when they only had seven planets, they called the days of the week Sun day, Moon day, Mars day, Mercury day, Jove day, Venus day and Saturn day. Whose horoscope would that belong to? A whole civilization's? One particular leader's? Do we need a ten-day week perhaps, and do we need to reset the current names to new days? One would think yes to both questions. Perhaps we need individual conversion tables on calendars.

Quoted for truth.

"[U]nless each soul entity...makes the world better, that corner or place of the world a little better, a little bit more hopeful, a little bit more patient, showing a little more of brotherly love, a little more of kindness, a little more of long-suffering--by the very words and deeds of the entity, the life is a failure; especially so far as growth is concerned. Though you gain the whole world, how little ye must think of thyself if ye lose the purpose for which the soul entered this particular sojourn!" ‪#‎Edgar Cayce‬ reading 3420-1

I went to bed after I posted. I am now up and awake and it is now 8.25pm so I have had 12 hrs sleep. I AM retired so no need to get up at normal times that working people follow. I had fifty years of rising at 7am for work. I ran my building business for 37yrs. I can't tell you how many times after the alarm went off that I thought it would be nice to ignore that contraption and snuggle in and dream again. I've always been a night hawk. I used to do my reading between 10 pm and 3am. My reading has always been of the educational kind and never novels. I always had to be using my brain as I read textbooks on all kinds of things. I sometimes get up from bed at 6am and then I get tired at 6pm so go to bed then. 12 hours awake and 12 hours asleep usually. Come to think of it Ulli, how come you were still up and about at 8pm GMT anyway. What time was it in Costa Rica?

My wife Anne is irritated with me because she had made haggis potato and turnip for main meal and asked me to eat it at 8.30pm not much longer than after I woke up. I replied that I was ready maybe for cornflakes or breakfast. She sighed and gave me a look. You know Ulli that look a woman gives when she is not happy with certain peoples behaviour. Tell me does anyone on the here and now eat roast beef and roasted potatoes and green vegies for breakfast?

[Snowflower]

Well, Stan, if you can choose which hours to sleep in, is choosing dinner at breakfast time any different?

I heard of a woman who set her alarm for six AM even after retirement, just for the pleasure of turning it off, rolling over, and going back to sleep.

I had quinoa curry with beans for breakfast today. Had coffee a bit before that; as soon as I got up.
And I had goat yoghurt with apricots, raisins, goji berries and cranberries for lunch.
Mid afternoon a cold beer, just because I was hot.
Dinner was left over quinoa curry. Followed by a dark chocolate. Plain water.
Now it's 9:50 PM, I'll probably sleep for 3 hours, then wake up and answer emails around 1 or 2 AM,
and go back to sleep at 4 am, for a few more hours, until the neighbours cat demands to be let in.

I'm having an early night, that's me going to bed now, it 6.30am, hopefully I can wake about 12 noon, I don't why, but that sounds like a normal time for a Sunday. Usually the church bells at the end of my street start clanging in discord just about an hour before then. The church BTW were left 3 Million Quid by an old friend of mine recently. You would think they would have had money to change the frickin' music tape. The elders BTW take up all the parking spaces in my street and our neighbours and myself have to park 3 streets away, which is a wee bit of a nuisance. Most or all of the elders their live miles away, so they hardly ever hear the cacophony. Night night or should I say morning morning?

Well, I usually do my thinking at night when half asleep. But what has been strange this last couple of days has been sleeping very late, which I never do (9.30-45). I’m wondering where the tiredness came from, as I have been enjoying a pretty light schedule of late. A way of reacting to this grand cross thingy perhaps (I’ve noticed nothing else).

Stan, you may be suffering from Internet jetlag – lullabies at breakfast from fellow Villagers going to bed across the ocean, that sort of thing. You don’t need to go anywhere.

Oh, he’s gone again :( :)

Stan,
Is it going counterclockwise through the chart? or is it in order of degrees and minutes..
Which would mean.

Pluto 01z 56'
Sun 04z 19'
Neptune 04z 46'
Venus 10z 27'
Uranus 18z 19'
Mars 19z 11'
Mercury 19z 24'
Jupiter 27z 31'

Also when the month changes from 31 to 1.. You get 2 pluto days in arow?

Cardinal cross hangover. The stress levels drop and then the tiredness sets in. We generally need to get back what we lost from being over-agitated by the cardinal cross. The same, in some ways, as the full moon pattern of over extension - then recovery (post full moon).

Possibly, but I certainly have been feeling no stress. Pretty relaxed in fact. If I hadn't heard about this cross thingy coming up, I would never have guessed. Maybe other people have been feeling over-agitated and shared the hangover? Has anyone anything concrete to report so far, or is it too early to say?

Hi Eelco, Forget about anti clockwise, that is how the Moon transits. I don't know why I said that. I just meant look around the chart for the next degree in sequence. It goes from Pluto to the next planet in increasing degrees and minutes, just like you have done. You seem to have gotten the technique correct. To answer your last question, In my case it goes from 31st day to 1st day as this is in sequence to my Pluto in my natal chart is on the 11th October. For instance if your birthday was the 15th of July say, your Pluto days would be the 15th,25th and 5th days of any month.

When is your birthaday Eelco? I will check.

Ah thanks it januari 25th.. but I get the drift.
That would mean my pluto days are 25,5 and 15.. lol.
so I would have 2 mercury days in a row on the 31st and 1st correct?

That seems to fit. Not on my understanding of days, per se. But as an aquarian with mercurial tendencies...
I missed the bit where pluto is on the first day of being born.. overlooked it somehow..

Oldies but goodies. Today: Woody.

[1inMany]

This past weekend took a lot of umph for me. I pushed through awkwardness at every turn. This was conscious on my part, for I wanted to make the most of the time I had with the Purple One. Of course there was plenty of time for family, and for connecting, for experiencing the joyfulness of play, for baby toe kisses and foam sword fights, for emptying all stress and worry and simply being, for enjoying those moments that now become apparent when all thought ceases. And I admit to being a little dehydrated and needing some rest after this weekend. Haha

But I cannot begin to express my gratitude for being welcomed into the hearts and lives of this beautiful family. I'm not being insincere in the least, either.

One thing I pushed through was my awkwardness with toning. Over the past months, I had built this up to be something difficult and complicated, something unreachable, something that monks do in the mountains. You know what toning is? It is a lot like singing or humming to me. Not what people hear on the radio, I mean my humming or singing. I didn't realize that there is a place I inhabit when I hum. I only realized this when stepping out of the shower to Lotus Blossom's kind assessment of my voice. This was a bit startling actually, because I had no idea I had been humming or singing. I'm still not sure which one I was doing. But...there is a place. I step into this place of openness, of emptiness, of Allowance. And sound moves through me. And looking back on it, it is as if sound makes a circle. There is no beginning to it, no end. I join in with my voice, and it is an endless and infinite harmony. It is so beautiful and so filling that thoughts cannot compete. They can't. So I guess they stop. Doing this consciously, joining voices...what a powerful experience. I have diminished lung capacity, but I think with a little work that will improve. The roadblock is my true challenge, for (as is always the case with me) I cannot easily identify it.

Since I have been up since about 4am, this is what I have been thinking about. 1inmany moments of clarity, 1inmany remarkable moments in the series that made up the weekend. I can tell, extra water and a nap are on the agenda today :)

Much Love,

[PurpleLama]

Yep, I drank a whole gallon of water, yesterday.

Now that we are over the initial hump, let me make a few observations about toning. When words are spoken, we are creating and releasing a specific pattern of energy, essentially a sentence is a spell. When one creates the pure and powerful vibration of a tone, which is a sound that lacks the pattern of a word, one might simply be blessing one's environment, or one might be energizing a newly created thoughtform, something that can far exceed the complexity of speech and spoken spells, the vibration is power, is the impetus, the motivator that will move things far ahead.

Also, as I pointed out the other day, lung capacity will arrive with practice, for the vibration will open up and open up and open up all the channels withing the body, in the lungs, in the blood, in the glands.

Also, also, after you have been at it a while, you will notice a tone beneath the thresh hold of human hearing, something of the earth that you can feel (the "heat") and the tones you will produce you will find to be in harmony with this.

[Wind]

Here is something to marvel at.

PurpleLama and 1inMany's adventure in toning made me think of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tL5keipA2mc

If you start the video, wait for an undetermined number of seconds (maybe around half a minute), then start it again on another browser tab, then again, another half a minute or so, and start it on a third browser tab...well, it gets pretty intense.

I only heard the "surprise" real-world background sound when the first two layers had completed, and I was listening to only one ending.

I smell the gentle breeze flowing from the back door towards the front. I feel many things but, the sun feels so good. It's 4:14 pm and I feel alone. I dont feel worthy of a village:( I know I have value but others try to suppress it. I love everyone but it would seem as though 5% dont love me. I have tried teaching through love but I was not successful. I feel unsuccessful.

[araucaria]

Sometimes books don’t keep their original titles. While you will probably recognize Alice’s Adventures Underground, The Sea Cook, The Chronic Argonauts, The Summer of the Shark, or Catch 18, you may need some help with Ba Ba Black Sheep (Gone with the Wind), Bar-B-Q (The Postman Always Rings Twice), Twilight (The Sound and The Fury), The Last Man in Europe (1984), All’s Well That Ends Well (War and Peace) or Tenderness (Lady Chatterley’s Lover). The most obvious improvement is Catch 22, much better, and I suppose Lewis Carroll is kicking himself he didn’t write Alice’s Adventures Down The Rabbithole.

[1inMany]

It's odd, isn't it. How we...How I can sit inside this body and be immersed in this life. The quagmire. The realness of it all. How I am the center of my own existence. How big and engulfing "my life" or "my experience" is. But then...

I was sitting at a doctor's office once. Waiting for M to come out. And it was in a tall building. I sat looking out the window. I watched the people below, like ants they were. And the hundreds of cars that passed through the busy Dallas intersection. Each one, a Me. And each one as a hub, with spokes extending from the center. All reaching out, from the Me-ness. All immersed in Me-ness. How small they were.

And then I can move out farther. I see many hubs, all becoming pin pricks of light. They cover the planet. And out farther, where there are many planets covered with pin pricks, all immersed in Me-ness. And in between the planets, not an empty space to be sensed. All full, but not of Me-ness. Filled with All-ness.

Then moving back in. Becoming smaller and smaller until I become only the one smallest speck, which by its very nature becomes all encompassing.

This is not a metaphor, I see two spheres with me. One to my left, and one to my right. In front of me, suspended between this body and the All. One is light. One is light. But the other...is not dark, it isn't evil. It's just...matter. And I know that if I step fully into the light golden sphere, I know I Am. And if I step into the darker sphere, I will not know I Am. And for the longest time I have thought I am supposed to step into the Lighter Sphere.

I have a hunch the two spheres should merge into One.

Blessings to all who travel the Village paths, Here and Now. Much Love,

I recommend chamomile tea and yoga for this fellow - before his head explodes.

Actually, I love his passion and his activism, but damn, he really is gonna blow a fuse in his brain.

I am pretty sure if I am not careful, Dennis' new avatar might make me switch teams. The Avalon posterboy for hawtness, he hath become. His fanclub will eventually exceed that of BR, if folks don't watch out.
HAHAHAHAHAHHA you literally got me to guffaw out loud with that, oh Purple One! :laugh:

I only heard the "surprise" real-world background sound when the first two layers had completed, and I was listening to only one ending.

Dennis

That "surprise real-world background sound" is so real and familiar that I got right back there... 6000 miles away from here... Toronto... who would have thunk that?

Not me! Nope!

:confused:

PS: No wonder I keep mentioning "triggers/restimulations" in other threads...

Naa, he's getting suspiciously younger - must be working for David Rockefeller I reckon. His fanclub will fade into the woodwork when they find out.

All I can do is post a picture of my backyard gobblers. When they show up, that is.

Today's post is over here. where I support the idea of the I AM, WE ARE point made in the topic as being the way out. I do it in a round about way, but in the process, I kill logic dead. Poor little logic, we barely knew ye.... logic killed itself, for the sake of it's self. It was only logical! "Here lies logic, the best and the worst, everything - but certainly not all."

"Dammit", consciousness said, turning to shout at intelligence, " You bumped my arm! you made me shoot logic! I was trying to shoot order!"

"Well", intelligence said slyly, "ultimately logic was gonna have to go, anyway".

"Yeah", consciousness said fuming away, "but the order is ..that order has to go first, THEN logic gets it."

"Well, sorry bout that", intelligence said, again, while it breathed a sigh of relief that consciousness took as chagrin.

Good thing, Intelligence thought, snuck that one by..... for if logic got shot first, it would not be around to let consciousness know that after order, then logic buying the farm, comes intelligence's turn in the crosshairs.

To photoshop would only detract from the major hotness goin’ on. But as my way of saying, "hubba-hubba, Dennis!", I added a simple frame.

Thanks, Paula (I think.) :~)

...and Flash, and 1inMany, and My Favorite Lama, and araucaria, and Dan...

I'd like to announce my engagement to Purple Lama. My deepest apologies to his wife, and mine. Some things were just meant to be. I can't fight it.

Dennis, don't be too hasty! You've been framed!

I was electrified by the Wingmakers website when I first found it.
Then and 2005 got tired of waiting for Interview 5 and even began to doubt if the original guy hadn't been knocked off,
to be replaced by mystery school James.
But now I'm reading the overdue Interview I must say it is pretty convincing...fits in with what I gleaned long before from Baha'u'llah and Gurdjieff. Awakening to one's true essence, get into creativity, to be freed from earlier (and ever-present) programming, and imitation and identifying.

Product of the day: (http://www.amazon.com/PLAYMOBIL%C2%AE-36138-Playmobil-Security-Check/dp/B0002CYTL2/ref=cm_rdp_product?tag=%20ohmy0c-20) The Playmobil Security Check Point

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41G9WA5NRDL.jpg

From the "Customer Q & A" [find all of the Top Twelve here (http://www.amazon.com/Playmobil-Security-Check-Point-forum/forum/Fx1NHGSWRNLJCLD/-/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_ql?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B0002CYTL2&cdSort=best)]:

>>
Q: Can I buy separate figures of various skin color to teach racial profiling?
A: Luckily, with Playmobil™ playsets, all characters from other sets are interchangeable with those of another set. With sets like Liquor Store Robbery and Suicide Bomb Fiasco you can turn your security checkpoint in to a great learning tool for all ages.

Q: Does it come with a TSA Pre-check bypass lane?
A: Unfortunately no, however it does NOT have backscatter x-ray so less invasion of privacy.

Q: Is this the same playset used for transatlantic flights/customs? Does duty free over 3 oz. still get confiscated?
A: The only difference in this set vs. the transatlantic set is, you have to take your shoes off when you go through this one. On the second question, I believe it is over 2 oz. And, that would only be IF the dog smells it on you. :)
<<

Needless to say, the customer reviews are... special.

Have a great weekend.
