Here and Now...What's Happening?

[RunningDeer]

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.
I AM WE ARE

UPDATE May, 18, 2014: None of the links work. I know they did because I downloaded the information from the post. They all redirect back the Wingmakers.com

I’m half way through the WingMakers: The Fifth Interview of Dr. Jamission Neruda. I’ve not read the other four interviews, but plan to catch up. I've only listened to some video from YouTube several years ago.

For those like me that are unfamiliar with this work, the Fifth Interview was recorded on January 2, 1998 and only released on March 4, 2014, as per request.

Part of me wants to give specifics, but there is so much information that when taken out of context, it distorts the material. Some dovetails with other works we’ve read and shared from other sources.

I’ve added links below and a few passages from the Fifth Interview but even these are but a tiny, TINY snippet of what’s covered.

“…The functional implants of the human interface are perfectly integrated within the human vessel. They operate seamlessly. So seamlessly, we do not know that they are not us. We have no choice in a way. We think our thoughts and emotions are us, that this spacetime is what our thoughts and emotions exist in. Even the thought of a God, heaven, hell, soul, masters, all of these things, they’re part of the program. It is integrated in both the dimension of the earth plane and the after-life. The after-life is part of the deception.”

“…This was all part of the design, to create various religions and esoteric cults that would support a vast hierarchy and order the human species into master-student relationships, and then create a multi-leveled afterlife that would reward those who believed and were obedient to their god or masters."

“…You see, the whole principle that was behind this entire endeavor could be summed up in one word: separation. Everything exists in separation within the earth plane and its afterlife planes as well. But, according to the WingMakers, what is real is that we are all imbued with equality and oneness—not through the unconscious mind, which only links us in separation, but rather through the life essence that is us. And this life essence is sovereign and integral. It is I AM, WE ARE. No one is above, no one is below. No one is better, no one is lesser.”

“…Each person can step out of the illusion. There is no master here. No god is going to come down and make it happen for us. No ETs. No one. It is each of us. This is what is meant by I AM. I… it’s like One. One—me, and one—all of us unified. AM, meaning exist now. In this moment. Not in history or memory. Not in some future time or goal. Now!”

“…I’ve been told that there’re many resources that are being used to create the crack in the wall, and then, from the inside—that’s us, humanity—we’ll push the wall down collectively and walk out of this prison. We’re part of the crack.”


Main site (http://thoughtcomputing.org/content/neruda-interviews/) - Scroll down half way and you’ll see all five on left side. The interviews are long. I cut and pasted each into a document format by clicking the “reader” button at the top right corner of my browser.

I'm sorry Dennis, my heart aches for you.

Here and now, I am processing changes. I have stepped into the dark sphere, and I have experienced it. There are no words. It is as I suspected, it is not filled with evil, or "bad" or "wrong." But it is not simply matter either. It has rocked my world and changed me. That sounds so dramatic, eye roll. I do not mean for it to sound overly dramatic. It was powerful. There is some power in there, energy being called on and directed in ways I would not have paid attention to, let alone experienced, had I not been thrust into the sphere. I stood, in the midst of raw energy, being directed all around me. It engulfed me like flame, like a fire burning wild. But it was black and purple and gray...like standing amidst a storm actually. But not experiencing the storm from the ground, being in the storm. Inside the power. And I became it, and it became me. And the winds blew through me, and they were me. And all I could do is stand there, be there.

For two or three days I stood inside. I was powerless to move, actually, and it was impossible to verbalize what I was seeing. I could do a better job of it now, but I won't.

What I am wondering as I process this, here and now, is what is truly in the other sphere. In order to gain some equilibrium, it is my hope that I will step into, or be thrust into, that experience. Balance. I'm off balance, it feels like I'm on a high wire on one foot...and someone has plucked the wire... and my arms are desperately trying to catch the air.

Phew. Waiting for the pendulum to swing back. Or maybe I was used to being off balance the other way, and this is the new balance. I tell myself, It's O-Kay. It's ok. It is. Thank you, here and now, for a momentary respite where I can put this into words. And no one will judge me, or unfriend me, or tell me I'm nuts. After all, we are all crazy, here and now. :)

10 Earth Boxes (http://earthbox.com/videos/) and 3 potato towers. Sweet potato containers in the middle later. If critters get in, the fence can be electrified and raised with deer netting.

Hi markoid,

The blog, Ideas For Self Sufficient Living During Financially Turbulent Times (http://ronmauer.net/blog/), was originally put together as a reminder of what I needed to learn to prepare for a more simple life style. Almost immediately it felt really felt good to share the information with others who may consider it important.

Hope you enjoy.

The world snooker championship has just ended. Snooker is an elaborate form of pool, which is an elaborate form of 3-ball billiards. I’m thinking most people round here will think this is just a load of balls, and historically speaking, this is probably true. However, I want to look at it from a different angle, and the game is all about angles – very like astrology in fact.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snooker

The mathematics seem too cool to be by chance, but actually nothing is by design. The game evolved by adding extra balls to accommodate extra players before reverting to two players. You have a white cue ball used to hit six colours lined up in something resembling a chakra system, but actually a tau cross formation, embedded with a triangle of 15 reds. You alternate reds and a colour until the reds are gone (the colours are brought back each time), and then the colours, worth 2 to 7 points, are potted in order and not brought back. So a maximum 36 balls can be potted for a maximum score of 147 (15*1 reds + 15*7 blacks + 27, colours).

There are basically two kinds of tactics you can use. If you have an attacking game, it is all about creating trines, or thereabouts. This allows you both to pot a ball and line up the cue ball for the next shot. The better you can do this, the more points you can score, because the highest values, black pink and blue (7, 6 and 5 points) are closest to the reds. The ideal is utter simplicity, and the most accomplished performance was probably by the 5-times world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, who once cleared the table in inside 5 and a half minutes (that’s nine seconds a shot, some of them left-handed).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmsCjDOIZ78


The second tactic is defensive. This is all about conjunctions. If you can line up another ball between the cue ball and the one your opponent has to hit, that is called a snooker, and he will give you points for a foul shot by missing the ball or hitting the wrong colour. Normally this is a tactical shot to play, when you cannot score, to make life difficult for your opponent. But it can be turned into a strategic weapon, as it was the other day to grind down O’Sullivan’s spectacular attacking play into an endless series of snookers. Here is a more conventional example of a defensive move leading to a more attacking position.
TVNZRblTX7A

The third aspect is squares. You use squares (and other angles as well) to ricochet the cue ball off one or more side cushions, either to play a snookered ball or to line up the cue ball for the next shot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BGwmSWGhx8


Ultra-defensiveness is something of a plague in sport because it is somehow against the spirit. In soccer, it is called ‘parking the bus’, i.e. blocking the goal with defenders. It is seen as fair when smaller teams use this tactic to avoid a hiding. Sometimes then get a break and can actually beat a better team. Clearly less skill is involved in defending than attacking. When it is done with greater skill, it becomes obvious how destructive a dis-ease it is in a situation where creativity on the contrary thrives on itself (including the other’s creativity), leading to greater ease, comfort and pleasure. What was a game has become all too serious. But there is no complaining because basically no rules have been broken.

Nothing new here of course. And any resemblance with the ‘big picture’ is totally unfortuitous.

I guess you are referring to "the list"... the title of which might be misleading [a bit];
if one follows the link (http://covvha.net/gmo-brands-and-foo...shopping-list/)to the webpage, it says "GMO brands and foods" instead.
Maybe they chose the "Monsanto" heading on the printable list for the sake of convenience.
Finally, does it matter (http://www.endoriot.com/2014/05/coke-and-pepsi-replacing-toxic.html)?

From the mainstream science magazine New Scientist (9 April 1978) :

THE SAUCER AT PLATFORM 9…
Anyone spurred on by the current interest in flying saucers to think about building one for himself could do little better than turn to BP 1 310 990. This patent, which describes an atomic-powered, saucer-shaped space vehicle, was published in 1970. Since then the patentee, none other the British Rail, has not paid the renewal fees so the patent has lapsed, meaning anyone is allowed to construct the saucer according to the specifications. According to these, powerful electromagnets deflect charged particles produced by a thermo-nuclear fusion reaction to create lift and drive. Electrodes in the pulsed field are bombarded by charged particles and generate electric power for the craft. BR claimed that the idea was far less crazy than it sounded and that the inventor was experienced in nuclear physics.

The studio version is arguable better and you can find that on youtube by searching for Mulatu Astatke - Yekermo Sew, but the live version is nice, too. I've been to the same concert tour that this video is from and it was fantastic.

Hearing of a control system in reports and whatnot, is one thing. Trying to understand what it is and how it works, that is the hard part.

Was watching this a while ago, and yes, pretty fascinating.

The reaction when challenged with the option of functioning as a public company versus joining a clique of twenty or so with a trillion dollar capital between them, spoke volumes.

Coincidentally, I was at the same time Skyping with a Barbados friend and bitching about what had become of Paypal, when he confirmed my sentiments.

The voicing of the offer (worded in this specific example) was coming from a front for 700 people, average of 20 billion under each outfit, total 14 trillion assets, and -stay private, out of the public eye. That was the offer.

Elon's return, was basically an answer of 'no'..and his advice to people trying to steer their way through this roiling insanity of continual episodes of predators and hidden sides, blockages, feints, etc...is:

If one has even the slightest question of the offer, at all, and/or there is a component of an unknown ....never touch it -under any circumstances. If you are not comfortable with the integrity and compatibility of the people who you might work with (the ones approaching you), stay the hell away and don't take the money.

Yeah, been there myself. Husky voice on the phone....'we have all the money in the world....let us secure your bank account.'

Nah, don't think so.
Had lots of friends who got involved, however, who not only lost their freedom, but even their souls.
Never stopped bitching about their backers, even though without them they could never have had their million pound fashion shows.
In fashion the trap is bad because those investors come straight from the ranks of the mafia, who have a desire to go legal, but are starry-eyed about the fashion world, and especially the models, and such.....

May 24th - 26th is a three weekend in celebration Memorial Day that falls on the Monday, May 26th.

Memorial Day is a US federal holiday wherein the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces are remembered.[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the final Monday of May,[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.[3]…

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day)

Here’s another one:

Between 15th - 25th of May
European Days of Action

"Solidarity beyond boders: from the May of solidarity to the march for freedom, towards new transnational struggles"

Between 15th and 25th of May decentralized actions will take place
against the programs of austerity and privatizations, against
exploitation and precarization. 17th of May will see simultanous
mobilisations in many european cities in the perspective of a
transnational movement for democracy, solidarity and commons beyond
borders. One day later, at 18th of May, the march for freedom will start
in Strassbourg. This protest against the EU-borderregime is initiated by
an alliance of migrants and refugee groups from various european
countries. After more than 450 km across the borders of several European
countries the march will reach Brussels on 20th of June. There, a week
of actions will follow against the EU migration summit under the slogans
of equality, dignity and social justice. The Brussels program includes a
main demonstration on 26th of June and an alternative summit about the
future of the migrationrelated struggles on 27th of June.

The 24th is also Fred's birthday, and sees the worldwide March against Monsanto (http://www.march-against-monsanto.com/p/blog-page_5.html) this year. I'll attend and feel honoured.

Anyone else here, who is like me, out of touch with their feelings?
I keep adding and deleting this... Melodramatic, some might say. But for me, it's helping me move on... Thank you.

Wolfie passed one month and one day today. I had been his ears and eyes since last fall, by the end he was emotionally taunted by shadows of light and dark when I’d carry him on walks. It was the patchwork puppy pads that lined the kitchen floor and two accidents in his comfy beds that made me ask is this quality life? Should I wait until the end of summer?

Fortunately, the deadline for Wolfie’s mandatory rabies shot came up. And the doctor noted that his weigh dropped from 5 1/2 lbs to 4 1/2 lbs, after I went down the list. She continue about the quality of life, and the rest I missed because my ears wouldn’t co-operate. They came back on line when I heard something about it was time for Wolfie to go. I managed a whispered reply, “Yes, thank you. It’s time. Thank you.”

I still hear Wolfie shake his tags, make funny noises, feel him on my lap, or sense him in bed. And there are times every day we OBE together to all his favorite places. Only he’s his old puppy self with a grin from ear to ear, zipping around without restriction.

I’m at a cross roads. It’s the first time I’ve been completely alone since in 1968: no cats, dogs, kids, plants, fish, reptiles, nor husband (x's 2). There was a part of me that felt relief that I had no worry, no reason to stay. I’ve accomplished all I need to. I’m complete in that sense.

But out of nowhere, I got this second wind. I feel like a racehorse at the starting gate. It’s all I can do to sit and be still. All I know is that I’m gearing up for the next phase and all life is coming with me. Where? That part will reveal itself as it always has. And I’ve been tossing out bags and bags of stuff. “Lightening my load,” answers the Universe.

So here’s one last photo-opp of my Little Guy.

Even had he lived to 25 it would still hurt to lose him.

That whole pet scene... my life would have been so different if I had not become an animal lover.
The worries each time we travel, etc. and this last time in Barbados, yet another cat found me...
I don't know how that happens.
It belongs to my in-laws who live next door, but their dogs rule all the comfort zones,
so it came over to my little apartment. I never fed her, but all she wanted was affection.
I kept the apartment, and we will continue our relationship when I return there in July.
My cats here have become used to being abandoned- anyway, there are always people here who take good care of them.

Has May 25 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day) any symbolical value?

I haven't commented on this thread in a while...but I have been following it.:)

May 25th is my birthday. Instead of receiving things for my birthdays or seeking attention, I choose to do good deeds for people. The way I see it is that I was born on this planet to help people and make it a better place...not receive materialistic treasures or have people do things for me because of a "special day." My service-to-others orientation cannot resist...and I hope that this one day becomes a trend for people of planet Earth.

This year I turn 24. I have 24 good deeds (at least!) to do for people and I am looking forward to it. ;)

Here the big day is June 6th, the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and probably the last round-number one for the veterans. Hence they’re making a bigger thing of it than usual. That means more heads of state here at Omaha Beach (Obama Beach, as someone is bound to say again), and cars allowed only for good reason with a special pass. We’ve already had a couple of helicopters fly up and down the coast US presidential style – whichever one he’s supposed to be in, he’s in the other one.

I've been a little under the weather today and yesterday, but then again there's a rainy and grey weather. It always tends to affect my mood... Some days are good and others are less, that's how life works I suppose. Thanks to astrology I have learned that the universe certainly always has many things in store for us. Speaking of astrology, I read that the Moon is in Virgo, also this...

"Sun opposition Saturn. Our confidence is undermined by feelings of doubt, pessimism, or guilt. Feeling blocked, encountering obstacles to progress, and inhibitions are prominent under this influence. A heavy dose of realism seems forced upon us under this influence, but our efforts to measure up to expectations can ultimately increase our confidence in our ability to be responsible for ourselves. This influence is a somber one."

From the mainstream science magazine New Scientist (9 April 1978) :

THE SAUCER AT PLATFORM 9…
Anyone spurred on by the current interest in flying saucers to think about building one for himself could do little better than turn to BP 1 310 990. This patent, which describes an atomic-powered, saucer-shaped space vehicle, was published in 1970. Since then the patentee, none other the British Rail, has not paid the renewal fees so the patent has lapsed, meaning anyone is allowed to construct the saucer according to the specifications. According to these, powerful electromagnets deflect charged particles produced by a thermo-nuclear fusion reaction to create lift and drive. Electrodes in the pulsed field are bombarded by charged particles and generate electric power for the craft. BR claimed that the idea was far less crazy than it sounded and that the inventor was experienced in nuclear physics.

Let's set up shop, Araucaria : )
Well, you've built the garage eaglespirit, but do you have the expertise in nuclear physics (can't say I have)? :)

OK, you can pick me up here. We have some very nice landing beaches and when they stop remembering the good folk of 1944, they will remember how the eagle has landed etc. on the new D-Day (disclosure day) of Y Year of E Era. We can then pick up the rest of the villagers and go have a celebration in Barbados or somewhere.

This cartoon, showing the cliff....
Much to ponder here.
The photograph above it was taken from one of the tallest cliffs in Barbados.
The ocean looks calm there, but sometimes huge waves appear out of nowhere.

I nearly lost my life in those waves, and so I felt compelled to draw this pastel drawing, from up there. Around 1982.
And this was around the time in my life that I changed everything...from the material girl I had been before to the enlightenment freak I was to become....

What that cartoon doesn't show is the inherent instability of the current situation - many people have in fact strayed beyond the cliff edge and the need to empower them is that much more urgent because this plank could topple the other way.

Hearts, RunningDeer. Beautiful pic, ulli. Samwise, what a lovely way to spend a day.

I have been trying to keep up in the village, but that's been really hard here lately. The transformation of the past few weeks has been unbelievable. In a good way, yes. I've also fried another phone, and it was only about 6 months old. I will have to get used to that. And eating so much. Not that I don't like to eat. I love to eat. I am finding food to be lots more vivid than it used to be. But geez, I can't quite keep up. I'm learning.

Leaving some of this amazing energy here. Help yourself. Much Love, my friends.

Here and Now, going to be a trying weekend. Mike will be here. We will be working on getting this place under control, including getting the mower up and running. This time, maybe we can keep it working for more than a week, haha. Truly, I live in an overgrown pasture at this moment. It will be trying, seeing so much of him. Odd arrangement, we have. It is what it is, until Universe decides it is something else. Court date has been pushed back twice, so this just doesn't seem to end. I know, one day it will. And that will be Here and Now. Funny, that.

Yep, one foot in each world. Actually, most of me in non ordinary reality, very little of me here. Quite distracted, I am. Loving it, but it seems that ordinary reality needs some attention. I have to master being able to get things done with being elsewhere.

Hi Ulli, I have a question for you, if you feel in the mood to answer. I haven’t been hanging out here much lately. Been feeling alternately sociable and then back to reclusive with not much in between. I know you are very astrologically knowledgeable and, even though I have a pretty good idea of what is ahead, could always use another perspective. I would like to know what I can look forward to as Pluto crosses my ascendant (at 15 Capricorn). After all the changes experienced last year I almost feel as though that might have just been a prelude to more changes to come. Weird to still have to be so adaptable in our 50’s and 60’s (husband is 68). My guess is, with Pluto, that anything I have not yet looked at will probably come up for intense scrutiny.

I know I’ve told my husband we best just stay home and lay low this week, especially with Sun opposing Saturn and full Moon coming up. Hope everyone else is holding up okay.

I have Pluto on my Capricorn sun in a while. I can't say Im looking forward to it.
The ascendant is not quite as close to your soul essence as he sun is....the Ascendant is more to do with the physical self as well as the personality we present to the world.
So here is hat I intuit will happen.
You will lose patience at lot more than you normally do. No more diplomacy.
It's time to tell people, whether they want to hear it or not. Of course, you always have a choice.
But Pluto's impulses are pretty convincing. You will feel like you are on a mission.
It all becomes a matter of all or nothing...as if your survival depended on it.
You may also find that all of a sudden a lot of Scorpios appear in your life. ( Pluto is a Scorpio ruler)
The best thing you can do is use our discernment and wisdom if these impulses are from higher or lower dimensions.
If your birth chart shows weakness in health then you could find yourself getting sick at this time, but if you are normally robust then you don't need to worry.
But power and ego battles are to be expected. All the tests you will experience give you opportunity for immense growth, if you are willing to face the challenges.


P.S. I just thought I'd google Pluto conjunct ascendant and this site was the first one ( of many) which came up.

Hi Ulli, I have a question for you, if you feel in the mood to answer. I haven’t been hanging out here much lately. Been feeling alternately sociable and then back to reclusive with not much in between. I know you are very astrologically knowledgeable and, even though I have a pretty good idea of what is ahead, could always use another perspective. I would like to know what I can look forward to as Pluto crosses my ascendant (at 15 Capricorn). After all the changes experienced last year I almost feel as though that might have just been a prelude to more changes to come. Weird to still have to be so adaptable in our 50’s and 60’s (husband is 68). My guess is, with Pluto, that anything I have not yet looked at will probably come up for intense scrutiny.

I know I’ve told my husband we best just stay home and lay low this week, especially with Sun opposing Saturn and full Moon coming up. Hope everyone else is holding up okay.

I have Pluto on my Capricorn sun in a while. I can't say Im looking forward to it.
The ascendant is not quite as close to your soul essence as he sun is....the Ascendant is more to do with the physical self as well as the personality we present to the world.
So here is hat I intuit will happen.
You will lose patience at lot more than you normally do. No more diplomacy.
It's time to tell people, whether they want to hear it or not. Of course, you always have a choice.
But Pluto's impulses are pretty convincing. You will feel like you are on a mission.
It all becomes a matter of all or nothing...as if your survival depended on it.
You may also find that all of a sudden a lot of Scorpios appear in your life. ( Pluto is a Scorpio ruler)
The best thing you can do is use our discernment and wisdom if these impulses are from higher or lower dimensions.
If your birth chart shows weakness in health then you could find yourself getting sick at this time, but if you are normally robust then you don't need to worry.
But power and ego battles are to be expected. All the tests you will experience give you opportunity for immense growth, if you are willing to face the challenges.


P.S. I just thought I'd google Pluto conjunct ascendant and this site was the first one ( of many) which came up.

I don’t envy you Ulli, Pluto on your Sun has got to be a bit like sitting on a live volcano, especially in Capricorn. I’ll get there soon enough as it goes over my Sun in Aquarius here in a few years. Maybe this is a good time to go hide out in a cave. I wish I had my little hobbit house already. Pluto will go over Venus before it hits my Sun, activating a lovely T square with my Moon in Leo, and Jupiter and Neptune up in my mid-heaven so I think it’s going to be quite a time that I hopefully find I have the necessary fortitude to get through. More house cleaning ahead for me I guess. I suppose you’ll be paying extra special attention to your health as well. Thanks for the link. I think I loaned out my favorite book on transits by Robert Hand because I can’t find it anywhere and I think I best start doing my homework.

I'm buying 3 sheep this week. Found some delghtful small sheep. Continuing preps for SHTF. One more step: sheep, for wool to spin, meat, and lanolin. Lanolin is for waterproofing leather. We're going to experiment with our own brain tanned hides, and a mix of pine pitch and lanolin, for a totally waterproof but supple leather.

We already have dairy goats, meat goats, ducks, chickens, cows, and pigs.

Next up: rabbits - fiber and meat.

Um... Nah, we aren't vegetarians, lol.

That's because you are at another level altogether.
Your fascination with verbal expression seems to be a lifetime's occupation.
Although I get an inkling that you will spend the rest of today muttering under your breath,
just to experiment with how that makes you feel....
But then again, I could be wrong.
Wouldn't be the first time.
Which is why Im no longer shocked by my imperfection,
and hence curse far less these days than I did in my youth.

[Snowflower]

Sometimes I've thought about trying to clean up my language, but that comes to a screeching halt when my goats do something that turns them into GDF goats instantly. But, when you get right down to it, what is the inherent "evil" in either sh** or f***? (And I am not being coy with asterisk spelling - I'm avoiding total asterisk from the net nanny.) I cannot find anything evil with the words. It is the culture that makes them evil by making the elimination and procreation systems of the human body "evil."

Sorry yes. I did try copying peers many years ago, but it didn't feel right for me.
My daughter likes to recall one time when she was tiny and I hit my finger with a hammer, but I'm sure that was not the last time. It is of no importance either way.

I think the underlying idea here is that people who feel very passionately about things will use colourful language. I am a little more detached about most things, and besides this is not my idea of colourful language. But I am certainly not going to object to anyone else swearing.

Edit: Sorry, dreadful timing. Thinking of Nora and her husband.

It was an unusually dry and breezy 87 F/30 C today, while out for a walk.

Intuition said, “Stay the course.”
I whined, “Too many people.”

Not a minute later, a celery green frog gave a bitty hop to where I was about to plant my sneaker on the cement sidewalk.

“I’ve never seen one this color. Will he bite or sting? Poisonous? Fear…geez.”

Celery Green was caught in a cement prison yard. And now, he was not happy with this prison guard that encaged him. For a good ten to fifteen minutes, he struggled and puddled in my hands.

Clearly, he was unfamiliar with the art of mind to mind communication.

Then, with a kerplunk, he went under and grabbed ahold of nearby cattail grasses, and inched his way up to survey his new pad.

I thanked Celery Green for a precious opportunity to feel what Source must feel at a time such as this.

After reading all about performance artist Marina I came across this piece of cat performance art:

[araucaria]

They say ‘traduttore traditore’, the translator is a traitor; here it is probably more the editore, but I have just discovered a massive example of a translation which is a travesty of the original. If I had been the translator of this book, I would have kicked up a huge fuss, which is basically what I’m going to do here. And if I were one to swear (see yesterday’s discussion), I would be doing that right now. It is no coincidence that the book – a novel – is deliberately ambiguous, bigtime, about a subject that we are seeing on Avalon and elsewhere as among the truly major scandals of our world that are being covered up, namely child abduction and pedophilia. I am referring to Mary McGarry Morris’s first novel, Vanished, published in 1988, which I have been reading and rereading. The original English was only deliberately ambiguous up until an epilogue, which removed all ambiguity. I have just received a French translation for further study and for sharing – only to discover at first glance that this epilogue has been quietly excised, removed, disappeared, vanished.

What is left has a very disturbing kind of ambiguity, of the kind that allows these people to operate by staying under the radar. What was a denunciation of child abduction and pedophilia becomes an apology for them. For sure, all the in-your-face warning signs are still there, but the actual workings are so intricate that it becomes all too easy to lose one’s bearings. But where the author’s craft and the almost likable pedophile hero’s wiles diverge is precisely in this brief epilogue, where the fiction of what has gone before is divulged and the actual facts of the situation explained. This is the whole purpose and structure of the novel. The reader almost literally climbs into a truck and is taken for a long ride. What happens when he steps out of the last vehicle is absolutely crucial. This is where serious writing diverges from pulp fiction. It requires rereading, which is designed to be corrective, but it can only be that when the initial reading has been done, i.e. by willingly entering into the spirit of the thing and consenting to possible manipulation. Only then can you understand how you’ve been had, and that is the lesson one wants to take away from what is intended to be a cautionary tale.

Briefly, to give a flavor of the book, it is the story told from the viewpoint of one Aubrey Wallace, a retard, the product of too much inbreeding, as seen among the aristocracy and as here in the backwoods. The main feature of his condition is that he gets things and people mixed up; so for example, someone will be described as doing something that he himself perpetrated. When you start applying this knowledge to the story, it is already too late to make complete sense of what is going on. For one thing it is too confusing, and for another, the main lie was set in place in the prologue, five years before the main story, and before the reader has any notion of what he has let himself in for or the type of effort of understanding that is going to be required. ‘Who’s ever going to believe a grown man could be stolen away by a fourteen- or fifteen- or sixteen-year-old’? We suspend disbelief because we know the man is a retard and we don’t know how his mind works – that is what we are here to find out. And yet we already know that his wife thinks he is a ‘monster of deceit’ – but only to rationalize having married a simpleton. This grotesque notion of the adult abduction by a child is the in-your-face untruth that the kidnapped girl, aptly named Dotty, debunks in the 2-page epilogue. She explains how her subsequent behavior that allows us to buy into the story was due to her crazed state. On only the second day, something ‘just happens’: a baby is taken during a burglary when it starts speaking and might be heard by its mother. We are told Dotty was responsible: it turns out she was not. Wallace did, and it was no accident. Five years later, the child complains to him of having been molested by another man. Wallace’s response of skirting the issue (not nice) and feeling intense shame indicate that this is him again. The child, aptly called Canny, acts as his main cover, turning the three into a family, innocently living the lie of loving her ‘Pops’ and ‘Momma’. Through her eyes, incomprehension is no longer a matter of being a retard with something to hide, it is the intelligent innocence that keeps the thing going. Meanwhile, the actual story is about how it gradually unravels, how the older girl gradually maneuvers into a position of saving them both, but seen through the uncomprehending eyes of Wallace.

So the suppression of the epilogue is much worse than having a detective novel without the explanation of the crime to settle the conjecture. Here we have total suppression of the crime itself. The actual main crime is not the kidnapping of the baby; and the vanished of the title is not even the disappearance of Aubrey Wallace, who mysteriously drives off one day. It is the kidnapping of the girl Dotty. We are told from the outset that a man has been murdered, presumably by his daughter, because she has disappeared. It turns out that this girl is Dotty, abducted by Wallace, who murders her father in order to take her and abuse her. Later a whole family is killed, to cover his tracks, by Wallace, who again accuses Dotty, to cover his tracks.

Hence the French version without the epilogue ends with police intervention and the words ‘Aubrey Wallace was dead, Shot eleven times, Not a bullet had hit his heart. Not a one.’ And, as the prologue began with ‘This is the true story’, what we have is the truth, a gaping hole in the truth and nothing but a massive lie. Incidentally, we find that the title itself, Disparue, a feminine singular, is itself a mistranslation and should either be a plural or preferably a non-countable form like the English.

All rather complicated, but isn’t that how things function generally?

My life only becomes complicated when I zoom in on it. Then I change countries.
Again, and again.
So when you start over, and ask the question "what currency do they use here?" it's one way of returning to simplicity.
And Barbados (or any Caribbean island, or that matter) is a good way to start over.
Small, stuck in the past, and you can sleep out of doors, and survive on passion fruit)

Makes a healthy break from living the life of Hercule Poirot and his translators.

(Until you run across a whodunit scenario in the Caribbean.
Which will outdo the complexity of the French version any time...)

[Flash]

This is exactly why Araucaria that I always prefer to see movies and read books in their original version if possible, the message is always somewhat different somewhere, even when it is not clear omission as you expressed.

In Spanish, I will even take the English or French translation to verify my understanding, but still read in Spanish.

When i have no choice, then, ok, i will take whatever there is as translation.

I will always remember Piaget having been mistranslated from French to English for his theories on children growth and psychological impacts and having therefore never made a hit in the USA because of it. He was as known as Freud in Europe and this findings very well researched..

Reverse racism.....


May 14, 2014

Aamer Rahman is an Australian stand-up comedian of Bangladeshi descent. Here are some choice words from his stand-up routine:

"I could be a reverse racist. All I would need is a time machine and what I would do is get in that time machine and go back in time, to before Europe colonized the rest of the world, right?

And I could go to the leaders of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America and convince them to invade and colonize Europe, right? And just occupy their land and steal all of their resources and...set up a trans-Asian slave trade, where we exported white people to work on giant rice plantations in China.

Just ruin Europe, over the course of the next couple of centuries, so all their descendants would want to migrate out and live in the places where black and brown people come from - but of course, I'd set up systems, that would privilege black and brown people, in every conceivable social, economic and political opportunity; white people would never have any real hope of self-determination...

And every couple of decades, make up some fake war, as an excuse to bomb them back into the Stone Age; say it's for their own good because they're culture is inferior - and just for kicks, set white people up to colored peoples' standards of beauty, so they end up hating the color of their skin, eyes and hair...

If, after hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years of that, I got onto stage and said, 'Hey - what's the deal with white people? Why can't they dance?'

THAT would be reverse racism."

I have been offline most of the past 2 weeks. I guess I should have analyzed my chart to have known in advance I'd have a car engine "die", an emotional week with my nonagenarian parents (especially my Mom, who is sliding towards the spirit realm), and come home to a flooded basement (including my workshop.)

But, the car and house are just "stuff", and it was my honor to be with and pamper my Mom and Dad.

So sorry to hear Nora's news. Sending love and peace to you, Nora.

I've been away for awhile (doing life pattern reiteration, climbing the spiral).

My husband lost his job in the SF Bay Area, and has started a new job locally. Color us radiantly fortunate! He left for work this morning saying he is enjoying his new job more than he thought he would.

For the first time in years, now that he is not working remotely, I have daytime to myself now. I love it. It hasn't really hit me yet internally...

I'm watching a documentary... Wish You Were Here....about the Pink Floyd, and reviving my own memories of those days.
I was living in Long Acre in London's Covent Garden district in 1968. In the day I was an art student, and at nights I was running the projector in a club called The Art's Lab, showing movies by progressive film makers, and thats where I met my then boyfriend who also lived in walking distance...in Earlham Street. I never realized until a year ago that this house had actually belonged to Syd Barrett. I honestly thought that many young Londoners had such properties. I was only 18 then. All the boys who lived there were Syd's inner circle. I hardly ever saw women there. Nor did I realize at that time that the heavy atmosphere was due to the fact that Syd had been kicked out of the Floyd, due to having overdone his drug habit and had fried his brains. Everyone was weird then, anyway. . After a few months they moved elsewhere, and my boyfriend moved to South Kensington, where he was sharing a flat with Storm Thurgerson and Dave Henderson. Storm was a powerful character, had this Napoleonic presence, and he was the main creator of the Pink Floydd album covers. There were others- a guy called Po, (Aubrey Powell) and Dave, the artist who worked with Storm; they called themselves Hipgnosis. I was still living in Covent Garden, but my college was in Shepherd's Bush; Hammersmith College of Art.
My bus always stopped right outside Egerton Court in South Kensington, where they were all living and instead of going home I would get off the bus and hang out there, listening to music and talking about art. I left a few hours later to go to work at my night job.
Watching this documentary makes me realize how much this period and these people influenced my life. But I never really knew what was going on. It would have been uncool to ask direct questions. There were no women there...had there been it might have been easier to find out who was who...as women tend to chat more with one another about what's real. Guys just like to talk shyte. Or philosophy. It was there that I first learnt about the I Ching. So here I was hanging out with this gang of incredibly cool, bright, stoned and intellectually challenging young men and it would take me another 45 years to see these things in a proper perspective. A few years later I was commissioning a piece of Dave's art, a huge photo-realism oil painting, of the metal door of the building where I had lived in Long Acre. The landlord was a vegetable wholesaler called Mash & Austin. Dave had taken the photograph before he even knew that I lived there. I had become a successful fashion designer, always had plenty of cash, and Dave was the proverbial starving artist ...then living rentfree in a small Chelsea house which belonged to the actress Julie Christie, and she was by then in Hollywood. Her Academy Award, which she had received for the movie Darling, was sitting greasy, dusty, and forgotten on a kitchen shelf. Memories....I wish I could find out what happened to Nod, my friend....there was talk later of there having been a police raid, because of drugs...and Dave never told me hat had happened. It's not so much that they were secretive....just that their minds were not in mundane reality.

[ulli]

What my life has taught me is the real art...the ART of manifesting. Just two days ago I wished I had one of those taylor's busts...and yesterday I found one, in a junky Chinese shop...the most unlikely place, and right here in the sticks of Costa Rica. They only had one.

Nor I have a place to hang my jewelry, so I can take better pictures.
Still surprised at how this happens....after all these years.
Wishes do come true.

i wish i win a few millions dollars at the lottery or somewhere similar (effortless millions dollars won) to be able to relax and do whatever i like or plan doing, and stop worrying for the bills or putting food on the table. In fact, i wish I could retire and finally do what i want without worries.

Do you think it will work Ulli?

I also wish to meet love..... in a male form.

We could spend a night or two or three or more around a fire sharing stories,
I mean a cluster of the Villagers together in person would be quite an experience!

I understand it has been thought about and brought forth here now and again,
it's just when You and Others here and now share some of Your Personal Past...
it seems We have a Higher Happening from all of Our Personal Happenings to really
Combine ALL of Our Energies and Experiences and turn this World rightside up,
One by One, Together!

And maybe We are doing just that...even through the ways and means of communication
We have going Here and Now.

Awww heck, We ARE!!!

..and that is that : )

I believe for things to manifest for you you have to be very, very specific.
A clear vision of what type of life you want.
General wishes like winning the lottery, or finding love...hmmm...the universe doesn't know what to do with that.
I have never wished for money, for instance, except once when we were in deep debt and nearly lost our car.
And I meditated and prayed and told God we needed to manifest £2400 overnight. And it happened...a woman who had a shop in Oslo, Norway, walked into my shop the next day and bought a lot of my stock.
And in a way that left me worse off. But the bill was paid.
And we sold the shop and our apartment all in the same week, when we were called to come to Barbados and my husband was to become the manager of his fathers hotel. And I thought, ok, I have a small child and I will give up my career, and start over as a Caribbean housewife. So it all fell into place. We got £72,000 for an apartment which is now worth £2 million.
My real manifesting period came later...and coincided with a lot less money coming in. But specific objects showed up, and at the right time. The problem has always been about defining my needs. Most of the time I don't have any, as I actually like a minimalist life now. Im happy with just three bottles in the bathroom, shampoo, conditioner and hand soap. My husband is the one who loves loads and loads of scent bottles and general clutter. We are kindof reverse from other couples in that sense. I'm the guy in this family.

[Flash]

Ok, I want to meet a man who is 5 feet 8 or above, intelligent, who had enough money for both of us (and i am not that demanding either - always paid for my own) who is able to love and has chosen to love me, capable of good sex, a man that i chose to love as well. Is that precise enough? lollllllllllll

As for money, I want it to come easily, effortlessly, in a regular fashion, and in good quantity enough not to worry for tomorrow. To be able to live in the present, not thinking of where to get the money to live on. Still have a teenage daughter to put through school here, that i raised basically alone - and i worked my whole life, basically - i am tired of this stress. Now, she is growing, and it is MY time to be happy and to take care of myself.

Is this clear enough as well???

Universe, make me a sign that my request is understood and taken care of.

:cool:

Life has to be easy and there is no reason I would not be loved and love in return, i am a being of love right.

Sorry, but if I were the universe I would still be at a loss with what to offer you.
What if the guy who shows up loves sports, and you get bitchy about him watching the game?
Be careful not to be superficial here...should he have a religion, or be an atheist?
What if his job takes him away from home a lot?
Or what if he wants pasta all the time, even though it's made with GMO wheat?

There is this other issue, regarding money.
Once you have it it takes quite a bit of work to manage it.
There are always security concerns. What if you don't trust your bank?
What if there is a crash?
Life with money is often more complicated than life without.
I will say it again: Proper self definition, on a daily basis.
First of all, try to be content with most of what is. Then figure out what you would have to offer in return...
Then you will know by the little irritations which emerge how to proceed and take it from there. Step by baby step....
Be specific and practical.

I see money as a kind of negative thing. You only have to see the big banksters build up their riches and what we suppose to be their negative karma in proportion. If so, what happens when ordinary folk come into some of that cash, I wonder?

Similarly, in a double-entry accounting system, incoming funds are handled negatively, and outlays are positive sums – which is how you ‘balance the books’. Income is only interesting to the extent that you spend it on something.

Hence I find a positive attitude to a negative thing is merely to quit worrying about financial problems altogether. And mine have gone away. No coveting riches, just nicely balancing the books and getting things done in a carefree kind of way. At one stage, my brother seemed to have no source of income. I asked the universe to sort this out somehow, even bought a couple of lottery tickets to show I meant business :) Problem solved: I didn’t win the lottery but he now has a small but steady income.

I’m not sure about this idea of formulating detailed wishes. Also, if one is doing it for other people, you have to be vague, otherwise it amounts to interfering. You see, as far as money is concerned, the universe is balancing the books. For instance, no more is coming out of the lottery fund than what somewhat penniless folk are pumping into it. There is no free energy there. The money printed by the Fed is phoney money, which is why we should not be buying into that. The ‘free energy’ is actually stolen energy – the world does owe us a (minimum) living, and many are not getting that. We are all in this together, and the elite is like a husband spending the housekeeping money on booze and whatever. Until this problem is solved, we all have to get by on just a little.

A while back, I suggested Flash had a man-shaped problem needing a man-shaped solution – and left it at that, expecting the right man for the job to turn up in due course, as he surely will. As a young widower with a large brood, my Dad had a woman-shaped problem which was solved in the following manner. God (the universe) also had a problem: there was a need for a choirmaster at the local church; my Dad took up the task on the understanding that there would be a bit of give and take. Just a tiny choir, but it turned out that one of the sopranos was a schoolteacher used to a huge class of five-year-olds and sufficiently unfazed at the prospect of taking the rough with the smooth, the smooth being to find love rather late in life and give my Dad his best years.

So my take is that the universe actually does have a solution possibly much closer to hand than you might expect, and is capable of killing two or more birds with one stone in ways beyond our understanding. So we have to just trust things to work out, and of course make contributions as well as demands. There will always be extraneous additions to the equation, such as this new man’s personal tastes and habits, but you just have to expect that these would be challenging in a positive way, because they will also be an answer to some need.

I’m not sure about this idea of formulating detailed wishes. Also, if one is doing it for other people, you have to be vague, otherwise it amounts to interfering.



I'm sure you are right, about being unsure.
So am I. In fact, I spend most of my time dazed and confused.
And the moments that I formulate a need are rare moments,
mostly when I become aware of my acute suffering
due to my near permanent state of confusion.

So I send out some desperate wish...no ritual, or anything like that...not even a prayer...
just "wish I had..." Whatever. And many, many times it shows up. I get what I want.

I was not sure that having a home and a car in two countries would be something I could pull off, especially on my meager income. Costa Rica is not a money mine for me.
But I have these intense personal reasons ..I miss my son and his family
and since he hates Costa Rica and won't even visit the mountain has to go to Mohamed.
Besides, I also miss Barbados, which is probably the only place where I really feel at home.
When I recall how these things later came about...
each moment that the pieces of the puzzle came together was an out of-this-world moment
and most "normal" people probably would not have acted on it.
But I have this antenna, that I won't ignore...and I somehow KNOW when spirit is making moves on my behalf.
And I know this more and more, with each manifesting miracle.
But once I get into doubt mode, it all stops.
So I suppose the answer is to have faith in the universe's ability to perform.
Faith opens the door.
And in order to maintain faith I need to leave reason and logic behind- for brief moments, anyway.
And just as life is rhythmic so is my consciousness.
Allowing the ebb and flow.

Since this thread seems to have veered off it's original topic and has become more of a potpourri of thoughts about our inner world
what better personage to bring in here than Syd Barrett and have brilliant Dave Gale talk about their friendship.
This crowd of people who grew up together in Cambridge (UK) during the fifties have helped to mold history,
there is no doubt in my mind.
Dave Gale used to own a tiny theater company called Lumiere & Son and did the most outrageous sketches imaginable.
He and Dave Henderson shared the house I mentioned yesterday...the one owned by Julie Christie.

This clique of friends dug into the deepest layers of human consciousness,
and the public's fascination with Syd's demise is to me a sign that in our search for the Self we are still as curious as ever.
Ancient archeological sites and artifacts cannot compare with the gems found inside the human mind.

I fell victim to censorship on the internet. It was pretty ridiculous. I reacted in a very old topic about a local dead politician. My contribution was a link to a scientific paper to do with views relating to and shared by the politician. There was nothing insulting whatsoever, my language was clean and sources were mentioned.

Obviously I hit a snare. They suddenly closed the 10-year old topic. This confirms my already present suspicions of the political face behind the scene of a seemingly innocent community forum. And for me it explains why some social groups will never stop to hate each other.

I don't want to scare the Avalonians but I'd like this to be an eye-opener for people who travel the world on wire.

The thing about manifestation is this. I don't think I could ever focus all my energy on having something I need, or want, because of the unknowns. Like, if I focused on manifesting a nice, steady stream of money, there would surely be an unexpected result. What if I got the wish, a nice, steady stream of income...but...I got it in the form of disability checks from a car wreck that left me with less mobility? That's why I have a hard time jumping on the manifestation bandwagon. Otherwise, I would manifest several things. I guess I have to leave things up to the Universe.

I'm wading through, here. I certainly hope you're wrong, ulli, that a divorce is never final. Maybe there will always be contact between Mike and me, but Lord I hope there is an end to this process. He is having heart problems now. Completely understandable since he won't deal with anything. I have tried and tried and tried to point to the parallel between his physical problems and his refusal to look within. Blood pressure, internal pressure...possible heart blockage...yes, that certainly makes sense. He can't talk about anything of importance without his heart going berzerk now. Sigh. I give up trying to help with that. I do.

I am in such a state of uncertainty, here and now. New things flood into my consciousness, none of it makes sense. Pretty much never does. I don't know what to do with it, don't know how to handle it, wait until it settles is the only thing I know. I have met some special people who can maintain a state of being content through changes, through uncertainty, or upheaval. Me? Not so much.

Maintaining a state of balance? Not so easy. Maintaining just enough distance to not get swallowed up whole? Not so easy. Not bringing into myself the difficulties of those close to me? Not so easy. And figuring out all this new...energy...new messages...new state of being...letting it happen, but not knowing what is happening........Not so easy.

Thinking of our village friends who are going through some difficult times. Nora. Marianne. Feeling love for them, hoping with all my might that they are okay. I know they will be, part of Trust. But...still feeling compassion so deeply.

The joys of being a cancer. Pffft. Haha.

Much Love,

[ulli]

Just to clarify...this is not about focused energy, there is no will involved.
One can only be surprised that such a thing exists at all,
and wonder what might be the conditions that bring it about.
Because the more one wants it to happen the less it happens.
Manifesting stuff has absolutely nothing to do with bandwagons, on the contrary.

There is another thread on Avalon...started by Strat.... About the zone.
This is similar, more about an inquiry into how come sometimes everything is soo perfect.

Democracy? Yep, oddly enough. The counterculture light was so bright it began to attract moths (people who sadly were not intellectually or spiritually prepared to meaningfully assimilate transformative multi-dimensional data streams from hyperspace) and stinging stink bugs (the thugs that invariably invade every utopia) in such great numbers that they eventually crowded out the butterflies (the educated middle class truth-seekers who switched on the light in the first place). That’s an oversimplification, of course, but it’s good to bear in mind that like it or not, enlightenment has always been, even in a golden age, pretty much limited to an elite. In America, the relatively finite psychedelic culture was shoved aside by the burgeoning boogie culture, whose drugs of choice were booze, speed, and cocaine; and whose goal was not to attain spiritual bliss, deeper understanding, or an end to war and repression but rather to get thoroughly ****ed up.

"Free your mind, and your ass will follow"

Both the cure and the source of ill.

Consciousness evolves out of systems of disorder, as a contrast perspective in quanta differential.

It comes to be, within the concept of ordered systems within that system of disorder.

However, systems of order are also logic and intellect. Which begins the process back to systems of permanence in order, which is dogma, instinct, comfort, society, culture, what have you (etc).

In this case (death of change)(end of counterculture), it is the carrier of the consciousness (systems of order), the avatar instinct and forms of unconsciousness...which interrupts and forms the systems of order and connectivity between the individualizations, between the motes of consciousness.


The perfect window of flow, one might say, at least in some contexts....is partially in the amorphous state (amorphous states are transparent to potentially large ranges of energies, yet manipulation of those energies is implicit in their flow, ie glass is amorphous), one where consciousness and order can exist simultaneously. But that again is a system of order out of the chaos, and we are back to square one.

Amorphous? In science?: A complex set of quanta structures that are 'frozen' into a disordered state, so flow through of wide bands of energy, or specifically desired ranges of energies, is enabled. So that the polarization of energies into distinct flow conditions is not occurring. Things don't lock into lattice states, and a system of amorphous stability is reached, it is flexible and has tremendous flow of wide bands of energy. One takes a group of different quanta, add them together, and possibly (in most cases) add a dopant....heat them up until they reach a flow point, then freeze them into amorphous disorder. Generally, if properly done, it is far stronger than the quanta it is built on (not brittle, etc). The scientific adjunct of growth in range and gated flow capacity in consciousness.

All that be as it may, the window and the reality define the scope and range for the idea and carrier of consciousness, simultaneously and in total conjunction with one another.

Consciousness, carrier, and ordered systems are 'all in', all of and whole of the same window, and thus cannot be separated. This is where the 'I am, we are, this is', etc, applies. Order of any kind....can and does eventually lead to death and stilling of all, yet order of some minimal sort is required for consciousness to arise in the systems of chaotic disorder and differential.

Quanta, or time, or differential, or contrast (all synonymous)..... is required, for consciousness to arise.

Essentially, the consciousness is implicitly (in potential of range, or scope) the whole of the quanta based window -in awareness-, and thus contains all aspects of death and life in all combinations and potentials. The schism, the friction, the grind of order and chaos, one might say, defines reach of consciousness in the quantum system.

We, as it were, fight/wrestle - with balance. No choice, as it is implicit in the very idea of quanta and consciousness. What we appear to move toward, is increase in scope (in the individual and the whole) within this quanta system.

I wonder what Tom Robbins would make of your remarkable analysis, Carmody?

Once people can attain an understanding of the IS-ness of things,
and how this is dependent on the flow of time, and then can tell how the winds of time are blowing.

How when they start seeing the bigger picture...
they become aware of this huge pendulum swinging through history,
and then they might even be able to mitigate the extremes at BOTH ends.

And if they were to study how planetary alignments open and close these gates of change,
they can then decide exactly where the great Balancer wants their input.

Because then they no longer can be taken for a ride by those who know about this stuff
and regularly trigger their fears to make them move like puppets
in order to use their energy to launch their next war machine.

[araucaria]

There was of course a very venal side to the unravelling: what Tom Robbins calls “stinging stink bugs (the thugs that invariably invade every utopia) in such great numbers that they eventually crowded out the butterflies (the educated middle class truth-seekers who switched on the light in the first place).” Whatever the grassroots were thinking, they got to enough of the cadres.

Beyond ‘democracy’, what exactly happened to the generation that revolted in the sixties? Many of them landed comfortable jobs during the window before unemployment started kicking in during the seventies. They went on like this until an early retirement window opened for them, collecting a cool pension at 55 when their youngers had to wait until sixty and now more. Am I suggesting that money was thrown at the problem they posed? Indeed I am: lots of it – not only in the US, but also abroad.

The French workers’ and students’ strike of May 68 was led by Daniel Cohn-Bendit (‘Danny le rouge’, a redhaired lefty), who is still a fairly decent green politician. In a book called Qu’est-ce que la CIA? published in August 1968 by communist journalist Alain Guérin, Cohn-Bendit is quoted as saying (my translation):


It would seem that the CIA has been taking an interest in us lately; certain American journals (newspapers?) and associations that are CIA subsidiaries and intermediaries have offered us large sums of money; how we received them goes without saying…

Why the CIA should be supporting the strikers is because of the need to undermine de Gaulle’s government. But they soon changed their tune when the mass movement threatened to get out of hand. Fortunately however, De Gaulle started blaming the communists, and so no further action was required.

But for one organization that refused money, there were dozens more taking hundreds of thousands of dollars, not only in France but everywhere else, including the US.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Youth_Council
These things were mentioned in the press, e.g. the New York Herald Tribune of Feb 20 & 22 1967,or The New York Times of Feb 17 & 20 1967. This was after the pre-publication announcement of an article in the magazine Ramparts of March 1967 describing the funding of the National Students’ Association (NSA) by the CIA).
Here is an excerpt from that article:


To NSA the CIA relationship was a comfortable one. It meant lots of money, a sense of doing important work, overseas travel, and, perhaps most important of all, very little feeling of having sold out one's political convictions. The CIA relationship meant something more personal, too. For years elected (and appointed) officials and staffers of NSA have been getting draft deferments. The deferment given for having an "occupation vital to the national interest" would last as long as the member worked for NSA; it was then possible for him to go onto graduate school and receive a student deferment again.

"Free your mind, and your ass will follow" Both the cure and the source of ill.

Ha, that reminds me of something I used to say to my daughters when they were teenagers and about to go out for the night. Keep your head or your ass goes with it. They thought it was crude, but it stuck in their minds and they never forgot it.

Recently, in the early morning sleepless hours, I recalled with minute detail the events from the day before. I was amazed with the clarity of detail that hadn’t registered consciously. The same with events from four to six weeks ago.

It wasn’t like deja vu nor Groundhog Day. I’m still processing the experience, but it’s a place where everything is. When I access 'Now' there’s bounty and richness to draw from. More than, “Where’d I leave my keys?” or even bigger than where I tap into for creative ideas.

It's easy to see why the deceivers are invested in us fretting and scurrying about linear/horizontal time.

Today, I read a helpful description of vertical time vs. horizontal time from the WingMaker’s material, "Interview One":

Dr. Neruda: "You see - time is not exclusively linear as when it's depicted in a timeline. Time is vertical with every moment in existence stacked upon the next and all coinciding with one another. In other words, time is the collective of all moments of all experience simultaneously existing within non-time, which is usually referred to as eternity.”

"Vertical time infers that one can select a moment of experience and use time and space as the portal through which they make their selection real. Once the selection is made, time and space become the continuity factor that changes vertical time into horizontal time or conventional time."

Sarah: "You lost me. How is vertical time different from horizontal time?" 



Dr. Neruda: "Vertical time has to do with the simultaneous experience of all time, and horizontal time has to do with the continuity of time in linear, moment-by-moment experiences.”

P.S. I’d add a link to the interview, but all the links I’ve post now redirect back to WingMakers’ main site.

Copying other people's riffs is not new. I quit fashion because I was sick of being copied.
And even now refuse to publish my most innovative jewelry items on the web.
Some may call me selfish because of it.
They are the ones who have never struggled to come up with something original.

I knew this Spirit album when it first came out and loved their music.
And I always liked Stairways to Heaven by Led Zeppelin but never made the connection until now.
Copying is so naughty....

May publishing this help the band Spirit to get some more royalties.
Or maybe Jimmy Page will do something honorable and give credit where credit is due...

Hey Everyone. Blessings and tidings from the South. I've been incommunicado for a while, and I have missed the Village. I've had a big shift occur for the positive. The worst of it is that I'm physically farther away now from my Brother the Purple Lama, but on the astral plane, it ain't that far from anywhere. Makes me think of Jonathan Richman, ha!:

I awoke to birds singing, “Hey, Lady, where’s breakfast?”
It’s the second day in a row.
Sleep was delicious, and so are the ten minute power naps that stretch into two hours.

I cannot remember sleeping through one night all the way back to seven or eight years old. Something about 2:10 each morning, I’d be up.

My question is what’s different these last two evenings? Before I went to sleep, I told myself, (or partnered higher self, it's hard to know these days), that I’d like to sleep through the night. Could it be that simple? Power of suggestion? I believe that in all other areas of my life, so why not for sleep?

I hear myself say, “You’ve jinsked it by saying it out loud.” “Ahem…cancel, cancel that thought.”

My other explanations are that, one, I’ve given up “control”, and two, the body vehicle is working overtime with this change over that We, i.e. Blessed Earth and her progeny are living.

Control of what? Insistence of wanting to know before I arrive. More ‘me time’ in NOW. It’s where I catch some cool ideas, and synchronities.

2:10 am, probably tied to your local placement on the earth globe (tied to one's geographic latitude on the globe, from my understanding), regarding the peak psychic sensitivities, re planetary alignment in the solar system. There is one in the afternoon, and one in the wee hours of the morning. Each vary, depending on where one is on the globe. It seems to be tied to the alignment with the galactic center of the milky way. There may also be an astrological connection or reason for it.

I thought this effect was based on sidereal time (James Spottiswoode) - not sure how this would work on a 24-hour basis.

Sidereal it probably is. I just came in with my standard application of logic, not bothering with the minutiae, in this case. I got that one wrong, in the minutiae.

IIRC, and IMO and IME, there is a localized variance, due to position of the person - on the globe. (where they are)

every now and then, unless I'm extremely careful, I miss perfection by a bit. Which is not good, as to convince people of things they need to be looking at, one needs to be perfect. I don't have Eidetic memory, only a decently good memory. As long as I remember that and appeal to my limits, then I can be fault free in my public musings.

Elon Musk is also very good. I saw him slip up in a very limited and unimportant way, only once... in about 30+ hours of viewing him in very detailed talks and subjects (yootoob). 99% of the viewers would never catch it (that single occurrence)....

I grumble about not sleeping, but my best ah-ha’s and study goes on @ 2:10 a.m. Also there’s an innate know/hearing that I’ve got ‘folks’ passing along “Hellos,” or “Did you know that…”

(note to self: hearing friendly high pitch confirmations while writing this)

[araucaria]

There is also the matter of circadian rhythms or the biological clock. It was once thought that the natural rhythm was closer to 25 than 24 hours. In my non-laboratory experience, 25 sounds about right. At a time when I was working both late at night and early in the morning, I would wake up an hour later each day until a reset was needed. Maybe this coincided with sidereal time, I don’t know. On the other hand, if a proper circadian rhythm of 24 hours affected Paula, then maybe that would override the sidereal effect.

But the mystery for me is how in all this time she hasn’t tried a mug of hot milk or cocoa before bed…

When I drank milk, I did try it, but I'd have to get up to go pee. Also, these sleep rhythms go way back some 57+ years to when I was 6-8 years old.

Now that I'm no longer on clock time, more often than not, I take advantage of those hours.

Amazing thunderstorm last night. Long rolling booms traveling up and down the canyons. We've never heard thunder like this. The deck shook once or twice, from the shock wave of lightening ripping the air. After each lightening strike, the rain would come down harder. Hearing aids maxed out lol.

Freezing cold on the deck, but we could not tear ourselves away from the show.

going backwards for 50 secs I think. Posted this earlier, seems appropriate here:


In Chinese, the signs for ‘immortal’ and ‘magic’ are based on the sign ‘shan’, meaning mountain. Hence a magic mountain is a pleonasm, and this magic quality would seem to be a form of timelessness. Makes sense: somehow out of this world, a nice place to be, for a while.

I went wholly 'body natural', once, when I was 10 or 11. For about 6 months. I let my body set the rhythm, I paid attention to it alone. it was approximately 25 hours. Once every full moon I would do a 24 long wake stint and reset. then drift forward for the month, one hour at a time. Then the 24 hr full moon stint, and the reset. So yeah, I can believe the approx 25 hr thing, having done exactly that. Some might think it is a weird head game to be playing at age 11, but ...why not. I decided to try it while I was young enough to get away with it (having no real responsibilities).

Well, I'm not sure about this. This is a copycat stunt, and Beethoven's Ode to Joy is the EU anthem.

Aw geez, calz. Please say that doesn't mean what I think it means. Is it time for you to go? I hope not.

I have no wisdom any more. No words of encouragement. I've lived my life out in a very public way for a couple of years. To tell the truth, I'd have to look at my own profile to see when I first walked the village paths. I don't even remember any more. People have remarked on how much I've shared. Somehow they were inspired, or something. Wisdom, they have said.

I'm all out now. I am tired of the highs, and tired of the lows. I'm tired of mulling things over, and trying to figure them out. The highs don't seem to be worth the struggle, they are so fleeting.

All I can say at this point is that I anxiously await my return to the other side, when I can finally meet my own self to find out what the plan was. The way I figure it, the plan plays out like it is supposed to. I know, though, that I won't be given the insight into what it was, exactly, until I get "back home" as they say.

Here and now...let me give this a shot. Like I used to. Here and now, I hear the air conditioner running. It is quite annoying, with its hum and womma womma womma. But the temperature is perfect. Hot and sunny outside, enjoying it right now, the way the sun kisses my skin. Em is watching a movie, so she is quiet. The dog and the cat are napping. The lamp is on beside my bed, though it is daytime and I shouldn't need a lamp. I don't want to reach over and turn it off, so it keeps me company. I will note that my phone is not ringing. No one is in the hospital or in jail. No one is in a state of crisis, no one is calling on me for an emergency. No one is calling on me for support of any kind.

Except, maybe me.

Much Love, here and now-ers.

May you find whatever it is you are looking for.

Hi Calz, it’s not a simple choice of staying or going. You don’t have to burn your membership card when you stop paying your subscription fee. You are of course not alone in having these thoughts. I think many members here (myself included) are a little jaded from going round the block a few times, and their jaded posts hardly help to lift people’s spirits. It may be that the best way out of a bout of collective depression is sometimes to part company. I don’t know; but you need to remember that it may not be one person leaving a group, it may be the start, or middle, of a mass exodus ending up with no group at all. Sometimes that may be the right way to go.

On the other hand, this forum and this thread have built up something rather special and precious that ought to be worth preserving. We regularly get reports of psychic and other attacks indicating that some people in powerful positions who do not have our best interests at heart would very much like the outcome I have just described. I personally would tend to stick around if only for that reason.

It is nice to feel paranoid, but even if all that were nonsense, and no one is out to get us, the problem still remains. Even if it is merely due to the carelessness of fundamentally good people, it seems to me that the entire world is in the jaded state we are seeing here. Ulli talks of the oases like Barbados and Costa Rica that she has to move on to every now and again. All the usual indicators suggest that these oases are increasingly only a temporary respite, and basically we are reaching the point where there is nowhere to go. To put this in a more positive light, the whole world is beginning to see the cliff-edge and stopping in its tracks before changing course.

The issue for me is whether we take the course of separation and disintegration or stick with the idea of togetherness that has worked so well up on our tiny scale to this point. Actually, I don’t think we have much choice. If one or just a few is saying ‘Stop the world I want to get off’, they may feel lonely and crazy; but when enough people share that feeling, it is time to turn the world around. Individually we feel powerless, because individually there is nothing particular to be done. How precisely this is achieved on the collective level is perhaps immaterial, but it can only come about through the collective volition of individuals.

That is what I am sticking with. Whether or not this means staying with the forum is another matter. A forum can be destroyed because it is doing something to be stamped out. Or it can outlive its usefulness when what it is doing extends to one’s everyday environment. Maybe we have reached that tipping-point? Stay well my friend.

It really is that simple, we just sometimes tend to forget it.

Me, trying to prevent an exodus...

[PurpleLama]

There will be no mass exodus. Some of us having been so quiet of late, have been lifting the heaviest weights, and heaving them into space.

It is all the deepest portions of the collective psyche, that each of us individually must face, if this game is to move forward, if the good guys are to win the race. The greatest temptations, and the deepest wounds, must be navigated and alternately healed, and the balm is experience, which cannot, must not, be sought within the confines of an internet forum. Rather, we enter the cave of our own deepest depths, for only there are we forced to own our own composite of demonic forces, in a place where projection cannot be.

You, yourself, Cal, you have a tool that I gave you, a white wand. Spend some time and meditate with it, inspiration will rise and then you will see, you were never not a wizard, too. It is all within your right.

Sending love to Nora's heart, Ulli's ribs.

Amazing thunderstorm last night. Long rolling booms traveling up and down the canyons. We've never heard thunder like this. The deck shook once or twice, from the shock wave of lightening ripping the air. After each lightening strike, the rain would come down harder. Hearing aids maxed out lol.

Freezing cold on the deck, but we could not tear ourselves away from the show.

Pippin hung out with us, stoned on ozone, major yellies and squirmies.

The Lake Oroville Reservoir is already 85% full. I said thank you thank you thank you as the rain came crashing down.

More lightening and thunder forecast for this afternoon. I'd best bustle to get walkies in.

Love, love, love, Sierra

Ttthhhaaannnnkkksss, for all the memories... lalala lalala, Love, Love, Love : )

...gotta make that nostalgia visit to the ol' years ago home area some time, Sierra : )

Yes, you do. :hug:

[Sierra]

Out on the deck. The air is cool and clean. Dawn is coming.

Drinking coffee. Thinking I'll walk north on the trail this time... (Attempting to switch to early morning walking, now that warm weather is here.)

To jog eaglespirit's memory, walk out to Skyway, cross the road. At Jeannie's Consignment, turn on Rocky Lane. Say hi to the two old dogs, turn onto the trail... :)

A llama lives on the trail. You can find tufts of his fur downwind lol.

Based on posts sprinkled around “The Land of Avalon”, and threads, dear ones leaving, and my go to YouTube subscribes, it tells me shifts at the subtlest to the densest levels are on the up-tick. All this in only the last 12-18 hours.

On one level, I see this movement as a good thing. Stagnation gets smelly. Movement in a direction allows for a greater number of possibilities. Choices and change, rah-rah!, so we can get to the place where none of it matters.

i was thinking of the complexity of the human world,and what people want. How money problems and money solutions motivate people. how they run their lives around such things, even for some of us who feel we are above such things. We still get dragged down by the money issue, at times.

All those Harvard graduates, business grads, anyone with an overwhelming desire for financial perfection... what is actually hiding under their desires, what do they really want, what to do they really expect from the rest of humanity, with regard to finding that 'perfect score' of cash and money? maximum return for the least work....what would it actually look like, if brought to life?

How Harvard trains their financial types,and so on. the business grads, what they want, how they want to get things done.

How such a system would be, if perfected, in some simplistic way. Simple, simple, simple, perfected. If they built the perfect lever, and pried at exactly the right spot.

What came back, in the face of this question, was, of course, a bit humorous. Similar to how the priests had to approach the ark of the covenant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What you want, is the normal world, all around you, and a doorway you step through.

First, before stepping into that space, you get a bag of peanuts, and an empty bag of similar type. Both strong cloth of a sort.

Then you step through the given doorway.

The other side of the door, is a featureless room with featureless non-directional lighting. One can barely make out wall and floor structure. The room is vaguely cubish, with large space. No color tone, very neutral lighting and neutral wall/floor/ceiling color. Greyish/silverish/whitish. Zero features outside of shape and an outline of the doorframe, barely. Just the single doorknob or door handle. Your feet or shoes leave no impression or dirt.

You put the two bags down, and disrobe, folding the clothes neatly and placing them on the floor, by the door.

Then you pick the two bags up, and walk away from the door, toward the distant wall.

When you reach the wall, at halfway between eye and waist height, there is a small hole, featureless and of indeterminate depth, of just the right size.

You open the bag of peanuts, grab one, and quietly push a peanut into the hole. It disappears. You wait a second or a few, and a similar sized nugget of gold comes slowly out.

You gently grab that proffered nugget..put that gold nugget into the empty cloth bag, and then repeat the process until the bag of peanuts is gone and the bag of gold nuggets, is now evident, and of similar volume as the bag of peanuts.

Then you walk back to the door, put the bags down and put your clothes back on. Then pick the bags up, open the door, pass through, and walk back into the rest of the 'normal' world.

~~~~~~~

So when you look at the nasty money oriented financial types, any of that, you can think of their desires -- what the hell do they want, anyway?. Deep down inside..they probably want something like the featureless peanut room. They want to feed the world a pile of lip service peanuts, and get gold in return. Their deeper but unrealized thoughts on perfection in life.

Thanks to all for your posts here and in private.


You are the best!


Will be back later with *perhaps* some remarkably deep sharing (aka 1) or else a quick exit ... (stage right).

Dear Villagers. In light of the fact that this little online group cured my husband's arrhythmia some time ago,
I am now asking to do the same for our friend Marianne.
She is still in the hospital, and some of us have become rather worried that she can't go home.
This illness has been dragging on for several months, and the cardiac situation is the latest in a string of complications.
May all the healing energies of the cosmos become available to her, that she may soon recover full and brimming health.
Thank you all. :hug:

[RunningDeer]

We're on it, Marianne.

I'm going to suspend my doubts of my abilities, and send a series of waves of loving, healing energy to you, Marianne.

Hey Calzerooni,

Hang in there man. This community needs its heart and soul. And its pic-ninja.

No doubt, energies are heavy at the moment. I've been feeling it too. But it's a good thing.

People are getting savvy. They're hitting a wall with cut-and-paste spin and pie-in-the-sky promises. They're beginning to see the value of a balanced approach that engages both hemispheres of the brain.

I've got an intuition that this 'thing' we're here doing is about to transition into something different.

Look around and see who's in it with you. There are some pretty swell folks riding this wave.

...Did I just ask my old buddy, Calz to stick around?
