Here and Now...What's Happening?

[araucaria]

I’ve mentioned this before, but we have two antecedents for Sheldrake’s work in Mark Twain’s Mental Telegraphy http://www.twainquotes.com/Mental_telegraphy.html and Paul Auster’s The Red Notebook http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/463.The_Red_Notebook

Samwise, your thoughts on language are very welcome. You basically present two insights into language, not one, and as a language specialist myself, I would comment differently on each. While broadly in agreement with the second, I have to disagree with your first point, but I think you will find my disagreement highly empowering. I think one needs to beware of the Jordan Maxwell brand of popular etymology. He means well, but he simply does not understand how languages evolve. The Tower of Babel was perhaps a controlled demolition of communications, but there is nothing contrived about the outcome of a demolition. A demolition is by definition the passage from the orderly state of metal beams, concrete slabs etc. to a cloud of rubble. What happens to the rubble is uncontrolled and depends on outside circumstances. Some may fall over water and get wet; some may rise up in the wind and be scattered over a long distance, while the rest lands in a hopelessly disordered heap on the spot, where if left alone, it might evolve into a semi-natural pyramid.

Take Latin, spoken across the Roman Empire. As the empire crumbled, it evolved differently in various places that were no longer in communication – into French, Spanish and Italian. Far from being contrived, these languages evolved as the people spoke them, while the PTB continued to operate in Latin. You find large numbers of popular terms gradually becoming more acceptable; this is language rising from the grassroots. Let me give you an example. The French word tête meaning head has replaced the word chef (which is all we have left from the Latin caput). It comes from the Latin testa meaning shell and hence skull; imagine the informal word ‘nut’ gradually becoming the accepted English word for the head. Le chef is the chief or the boss, so we see both how popular language takes over, and how abstract ideas are conveyed by outmoded concrete terminology. Now take the word gouvernail, which has nothing to do with government (gouvernement): it simply means a rudder; so, etymologically speaking, a government would actually be no more than a steering committee, but for the authoritarian behaviour of leaders like the ‘Great Helmsman’ Chairman Mao. In other words, it is not our language subverting our culture, it is our controllers’ behaviour that is subverting our language and trying to wrench it out of our hands. I’m afraid Maxwell and Passio are falling into this trap. Similarly, the suffix –ment (Latin –mentum, which is neuter in gender) has nothing to do with mens mentis, a feminine noun meaning mind. It is actually derived from –men, itself derived from the Greek suffix –ma, which is merely a suffix, carrying no more meaning than the English plural –s. You need to understand that parts of a sign system have always served a purely grammatical purpose. For example, Egyptian hieroglyphs use a box called a cartouche to tell you that it contains someone’s name. So in actual fact, to claim that government is not simply steerage but mind control is in itself a subliminal form of mind control – reverse engineering language to match the current reality. True government is steering a course and we are getting back to that.

On the issue of gender, which is an issue that we can all individually do something about, I accept that I for one am not being careful enough. I will try to do better. On the more general point, I would agree with you that language is phallocentric, but again, is it a control mechanism to establish a patriarchal society or is it simply a reflection of that society? It seems like a bit of both. If the womenfolk are nowhere to be seen, then largely masculine vocabulary will be used to describe the largely masculine situation. But nowadays, we wouldn’t say that more careful language has led to greater freedom for women, it is the other way round. What happened was that women’s liberation came first, notably by males shooting themselves in the foot by going to war, thereby opening up a host of new jobs to the ladies, and eventually enabling them to fashion how we speak to adjust to this new situation. The term ‘gender’ has replaced the term ‘sex’, not just because of the overexposure of sexuality, but because grammatical gender has a third, neuter or neutral term that can be useful in referring to people of either sex. However, the fact that the concrete solutions will inevitably vary from language to language suggests that no one is in control and that we are free to mould our speech to adapt it to our thoughts.

In English for example, the tendency is to gravitate towards the neutral. Instead of having chairmen and where appropriate chairwomen, we have chairs, which is not particularly flattering for anyone. It is politically incorrect to talk about actresses: they are now actors. So, I suppose if you want to say ‘as the actress said to the bishop’, you now say ‘as the actor said to the bishop’. No comment. German, which has a neuter gender, presumably operates differently. French, which has a very pronounced masculine/feminine divide, certainly does. The sentence ‘cette femme est toute fière d’être française’ tells us five times over that we are referring to a female. So, not only do we still have actresses, but many masculine words now have feminine forms: le maire (mayor) > la maire, le professeur (teacher) > la professeure, l’auteur (author) > l’auteure etc etc. Such usage has come from the grassroots and of course is, or was, frowned upon by the reactionary chauvinist French Academy, which thinks it’s in control, but actually controls nothing.

This is all relevant to transsexual issues. One may understandably be unsure whether subtler gender distinctions in people are being allowed to express themselves better now, or whether sometimes it is not the reverse: confusing language leading to confused identities. And you can now formulate statements with multiple novel ambiguities. ‘The actress became a bishop’ (sex change or female bishop?), or more politically correctly, ‘The actor became a bishop’ (man or woman? man then woman? woman then man?). Fortunately, these days even a man can get his knickers in a twist without cross-dressing :).

So Sam’s basic message is correct that we can and must be more thoughtful and careful in our use of language. We also need to take it back by being more creative and poetic; which is what we are trying to do here, both by seeing things differently and by talking things into change.

Great post, araucaria, and certainly managed to kickstart my brain this morning. Not a moment too soon.
So what about someone like me, who had to learn other languages while moving from one country to another, but never quite well enough to blend in with the grassroots crowd in these countries. I love the fact that there is a version the elite use to keep people on one page.
And as you said, it is the grassroots people who create these endless alterations and new forms of self expression. Why is this? Is all of this variation then stemming from an urge to distinguish themselves from the next man/woman, when in fact language was really meant as a bridge, initially? Ok, language is used for baby talk, for intimacy, to trigger feelings of familiarity. Here in Barbados with is only 20 miles long from north point to south point, the people up north have a different accent from the people in the south.

My own natural lingo has become something hardly anyone understands. I think in astrological terms. So, I had Mercury transiting over my natal Saturn recently. Sharing this info with anyone who is not an astrologer is totally pointless. Yet, for astrologers who are collecting data about Saturn this can trigger a stimulating conversation, as they might be curious as to how that transit manifested in real life events.
Meanwhile I'm looking forward to a world where the gender issue no longer exists,
despite the fact that language continues to use male and female and neutral terms.

But even in my ideal world there would still be some clashes,
as I can't see astronomers ever coming around to accepting astrology,
nor would I want to do away with their telescopes.

[eaglespirit]

Good Morning : )
Well, I swear from the highest good that I am the luckiest man on the planet...and I am not sharing this openly to brag or promote any form of jealousy but simply because I have to let it be known. The last 7 years of my life have been intensely gratifying and uplifting in the most intense and grateful of ways.
From losing my Son and Mom in the summer of 2003 and the events to follow on my journey and the gift of seeing the other world that is right in front of us in early 2007 on that Nipmuc Hill right next to my hometown that was such a sacred and special place to them. I was given an endearing gift of recourse from my remorse that was and still is beyond my imaginings of any kind that it could happen here on earth...from connecting with my Son's Spirit and the Natve American world(other) of wonder.
That world of wonder that is hidden right in front of us is unfolding in all of its higher beauty now. All we have to do is make some very quiet times for ourselves in our favorite places in nature and consciously increase the awareness of it from our hearts...and help one another any way we may in the now in front of us. I was graciously given an early showing, thats all...it is coming now for all of us. I have been getting feelings of its presence and strong happenings of synchronicity that are showing things are about to shift to that higher road the Native Americans have always talked about and most all have lived.
Between my seizures and accidents of late last year and early this year and my utter shock at still being here on Mother Earth and my rapid recovery is testimony enough in and of itself. But from the new connections I have been making with loving people and sharing my story and they sharing theirs and we being on a similar path and us having to bring it out in the open has been the current key to bring it all to more life. It is time to bring these things out, it is time to commend one another and fully step up and into what and who we are. There is not a thing to worry about as far as being curtailed by the system(lower road) we have been coerced to follow. As long as we are operating in the higher road way of unconditional love there is not a thing that can slow us down...I and many others have been shown this in real time and in real life and all we have to do is share and help and simply do it more and more one by one together.
I Love All of You!

As I reflect on that particular message, I am smacked with "God's Grace"...oh boy :/

Here and Now, there are concepts that I am having trouble with. You guessed it, God...God's Grace...repeatedly it has come up in recent weeks. Months, more accurately. Sheesh.

I am told that god, or Universe, whatever word one is comfortable with in communicating this concept, is benevolent. That there is a benevolent force, omnipresent. A working force for the Higher good. Of All, likely. Huh. Well, maybe, I guess.

M, being so darned perceptive, asked what was bothering me the other day. Also being as persistent as she is, I could not escape answering her. So I gave her a very benign answer. That my life was not supposed to end up like this. In all her wisdom, which is ever surprising and surpasses her 18 years, she offered that perhaps my life up until this point was not what it was supposed to be, and the recent detachments and changes and upheavals were to set it right. Huh.

As I sit with things, and try to move myself to meditate again, I send Much Love.

[PurpleLama]

Well, the mind all the while will tell a person that grace couldn't possibly exist amidst the chaos we can perceive, listening to that nattering voice can well distract a person from the evidence Universe is conversely trying to provide. It is a choice, which one receives our attention, and is thereby reinforced. Back and forth is a tough and dangerous game, it is recommended to pick one and stick with it. Poop or get off the pot. Dan offers excellent advice, about sitting in nature. That is something easy that any of us can do, and can assist with aligning with this Grace that might seem so elusive. Grace is the substance of every living energy, it is its very nature, and is the compulsion of all life to live. Without that substrate of grace, none of this, none of us could be here. Born as we are in a culture mostly blind to this, we have to look and find it for ourselves, it starts just outside the door. If one goes out into nature and finds it uncomfortable, the that one has serious adjustments to make, thankfully nature will lead the way.

Right now I am digging through information regarding NESARA.
Just the plain fact there there are so many contradictions surrounding it makes me wonder if there is not something to it after all. Many good people are working hard at challenging those who put the masses into debt and wars.

Perhaps all those who were enslaved and deceived and conned in this world will soon receive the compensation which is due to them.
This is all coinciding with eaglespirit revving his free energy engine.

[araucaria]

Ulli’s article quotes Arthur C. Clarke: "One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of mind". If he said that, I like the flexibility of mind idea, but I would replace ‘accept the future’ with ‘understand the present and create another future’. Dystopia is not so much a self-fulfilling prophecy as an analysis of the current situation. Take Jules Verne in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. He is no visionary when he foresees the depletion of cod: he counts one fish’s eggs, the number of fishing boats then operating and the size of their catch, and he understands that, for the time being, the math is in favour of the cod. Prolonging or extending a current situation will inevitably lead to more of the same. What now sounds like prophecy was then just the blindness of all but one voice crying in the wilderness. And what our utopian efforts in the here and now are designed to achieve is to bridge that gap or blind spot, and break that machinelike predictability. Already, today is not like yesterday; which is why, just as they were saying, looking-glass technology could not see beyond 2012.

Verne’s story is rather more complex than merely about instilling a fear of technology. It is about interactions between the machinelike properties of life and the lifelike qualities of machinery in an attempt to understand the cause of the destruction of life by (mostly human) life. It begins with a foreshadowing of the sinking of a lot of shipping, particularly a Titanic-like vessel: one of the Scotia’s watertight compartments is breached by a mysterious ‘monster’, either a narwhal (unicorn whale) (shades of Moby Dick) or some technological enhancement thereof. A harpooner and a researcher are brought in to deal with the monster. Early sightings are of a huge stretched, brightly-lit oval shape, and later a long dark shape that produces a wake and spouts water like a huge whale. Everything about this ‘electric’ narwhal is supernatural, reminiscent of presentday sightings of cigar/saucer-shaped UFOs with extraordinary powers. And then of course, the rest of the story is about the alien abduction. It recalls Jonah but this whale is a craft that is at once technological (a submarine), a life form (called the nautilus, a kind of shellfish), and a microcosm of human civilization (containing a library, museum…).

The human element here is a human who has broken away from human society and lives in total secrecy as a man of the sea, no longer a man of the earth; for Captain Nemo (means No one), the sea is movement and love, living infinity, where despots cannot enter with all their terrestrial horrors; it is where you are not lonely being alone. Even his ship is made with metal mined undersea and uses sodium-based materials with sodium derived from sea water.

Nemo says ‘the sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the globe.’ Which is an interesting contradiction. He still has the other three tenths to deal with, violently, by sinking those ships, especially when they have detected his presence. He exemplifies John Donne’s words, ‘No man is an island’ (Nemo is an island), meaning here that when moved by hatred of mankind’s evil doings, there is ultimately nowhere to go. The Moby Dick story of man versus Leviathan, of whaler killing whales and vengeful whales killing whalers, becomes flaky (as Melville no doubt intended). Here you find baleen whales being massacred by (toothed) sperm whales. So in fact, you have these cruel evildoers who deserve to be exterminated undersea as well as on land. There is simply no getting away from this inconvenient truth. Nemo’s last words as he heads for the Maelstrom are ‘God Almighty! Enough! Enough!’. The Maelstrom is the killer whirlpool from which, like Melville and Poe’s narrators, Verne’s escapes after this exploration of the depths of the abyss.

All the above is relevant to how we deal with the archontic influence and carries on from what I posted yesterday on the John Lash thread:


I don’t think the hatred that some entities show towards us and John Lash’s hatred towards them can be equated. He is not coming from a place of fear. He states fairly clearly that it is love of life that leads to hate of non-life or anti-life: hence he can hate the one without thereby succumbing to (fear-based) hatred. The trouble is, I’m not at all sure how he intends to do this.

In Not in His Image Lash spends a lot of time ‘badmouthing Jesus’, whom he sees as a proponent of ‘redeemer ethics’. This is not necessarily true, although he can be and has been made to look that way, and Lash has bought into that view. Here is a relevant paragraph, from page 256:


Jesus was wrong on a lot of counts but perhaps supremely so on on one issue. Of all the dubious advice pronounced in the New Testament, one commandment is particularly harmful: the famous injunction to ‘resist not evil’ and ‘turn the other cheek’. If everyone did this what kind of society would result? If everyone turned the other cheek, who would be striking the blows? Well, obviously, no one. If everyone in the world followed the command, ‘turn the other cheek,’ there would be no need to turn the other cheek, because no one would be acting harmfully toward anyone else. The principle is patently absurd and cancels itself out, but taken on faith it serves an unmistakable purpose: to give total liberty to the perpetrators.

The argument is fine, only the conclusion is erroneous. The principle is not patently absurd at all, and does not cancel itself out. It merely traces a path towards a goal, and when that goal is reached, people will be turning the other cheek only to receive another kiss. So the principle is fine as well, or very nearly. Lash’s quibble is with ‘everyone’, which for him is unachievable. He goes on, ‘To propose a code of morality that relies on the good will of perpetrators to desist from their ways is a real stroke of schizoid genius. One may begin to wonder if such a code does not originate with the perpetrators in the first place.’

‘Resist not evil’ comes from the King James Bible. It is well known that this, even supposing the original gospels to be authentic, this political version certainly is not: it is the work of the above-mentioned ‘perpetrators’ (who sound like traitors in perpetuity). And here is evidence of their handiwork: every other translation says, not ‘evil’, but ‘evil person’ or words to that effect, which changes everything.
http://biblehub.com/matthew/5-39.htm
Of course we have to resist evil; simply, we don’t resist the person. How do we combine these seeming contraries? By, counterintuitively, turning the other cheek. What is the alternative? Retaliating? Punishing? Eliminating people? We know enough about death to understand that capital punishment never solved a problem.

What is the problem with everyone (I’d prefer to say ‘enough people’) turning the other cheek is that it has hardly ever been tried. But on a smaller scale, Mandela’s Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa shows that it ought to work.

This issue has already been discussed on the forum, notably in terms of the rabid dog. How do you remove the rabies without killing the dog? The dilemma is predicated on the incurability of rabies for presentday materialist medicine – and the analogy works when transposed to psychopathy, which is also currently incurable. The long-term answer, therefore, is not to kill the dog but to find a cure. The cure to be found will be through enlightened spiritual healing processes, which of course rules out violence of any kind, violence being in any case a major symptom of the very condition requiring treatment.

Hi All...been on the road a couple days because of truck and driving manifestation : )

I call it that because of the current email from a good friend that is literally in utter amazement at the 'manifestation' going on in Her life and shared this at the end.
I firmly feel we are in the strongest upgrade imaginable on Mother Earth as far as these Personal Creative Energies are concerned !
Manifest, Here and Now Villagers : ) ...and intercede too, in the best of ways!

So we should, at this time, make all the good wishes our imagination can come up with. It's about time we started to manifest... Hmm, is that why the TV news and whatnot is so negative and upsetting? So that folks will concentrate on that stuff and inadvertently manifest even more. We'll have to do something about that. Someone has to intercede for people, don't you think?

...
Dog Dining video hilarious...and got an extra smile because the dog on the left looks like Purdy...thanks Ulli!

Great sharing All : )

I was thinking of the idea of creating a biological that would survive venus's surface and then bombarding the planet with that 'infection'. Some variant of what survives at deep sea thermal vents, might be a starting point. Venus is 90 atmospheres of pressure, at 800 degrees, with a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere. Which is pretty close to what the deep sea thermal vents are, on at least two fronts.

So this may be doable. Remove the carbon dioxide, and the pressure goes down, and the planet cools (heat begins to escape). If it did this, it would not be all that different from what the earth is, right now.

Which is pretty close to what the deep sea thermal vents are, on at least two fronts.

So this may be doable. Remove the carbon dioxide, and the pressure goes down, and the planet cools (heat begins to escape). If it did this, it would not be all that different from what the earth is, right now.

An old friend of mine, Joe Davis, a geneticist artist and poet, originally from Mississippi, once transmitted the orgasm of a woman towards nearby star systems:
1986: Poetica Vaginal:

"Joe Davis is an artist and a research affiliate at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the mid-1980s, he became concerned that no image of humans had been sent into space representing the details of human genitals or reproduction.So he led a project to transmit the sounds of vaginal contractions towards neighbouring star systems. To do so, he recorded the vaginal contractions of ballet dancers.The messages were to be sent from MIT's Millstone Hill Radar to Epsilon Eridani, Tau Ceti and two other stars. However, only a few minutes of footage was transmitted before the US air force, which had jurisdiction over the facility, shut the project down. Nevertheless, the vaginal sounds that were sent will have reached Epsilon Eridani in 1996 and Tau Ceti in 1998. It is unclear what sort of reply we should expect."

Here is his new project, He plans to use synthetic biology to insert a DNA-encoded version of Wikipedia into the apple and create a living, literal tree of knowledge:

We had another thunderstorm today. That makes three in one month. Yeah. Thank goodness. I'm so grateful.

Sitting on my front porch in the cool evening. Listening to the soothing noises of the forest; the splatter of rain drops on trees, crickets chirping and the occasional frog bark.

Love

Nora

I love the mountains though I don't live there and actually have not even been to the Rockies for a number of years.

We went to SW Colorado every year when I was a kid and it was pure heaven.


If we are to rely on astro then that is where I "belong".

I love Nora's posts, too. I get forest imagery every time she posts, partly because of her Avatar.
I grew up on a farm where 25% of the land was forest. Big enough to get lost in.

And when reading about that drought I have sent out strong prayers for rain.
Very glad about the recent thunderstorms.

Yeah, that choice raises some questions about the artist himself. I think araucaria nailed it just now...we have enough alpha males.

Maybe he should have sent a recording of the Pope farting instead.

I had a bad nightmare - tall greys involved

It goes as follows


i had a real nightmare: I am in a facility looking at rooms over rooms, one of them has women in a position like when you have a gynecological exam, two in the room, and there is two tall greys in the background with huge heads, about 5foot 5, overlooking the activities, but doing themselves nothing, it is human looking staff that does the job. Then I am in one room and i know we are next. My daughter is with me.

We decide to get out. We are going downstairs, then I realise i have forgotten my purse. I go back up to get it while Zarema remains in the stairs. I am in one room where they, the human, preparing a foot. They tell me it is only the foot of a clone, there is nothing there, meaning I should not make a fuss for that.

The woman who tells me, who is beautiful, short to medium hair lenght, light Brown, blue eyes, small nose, small chin, tells me it is nothing, I take her by the neck and scream "where is the original, where is the original?", thinking that clones are programmed the way ETs want, and then she does not react and i realise she is a clone turned into a robot. I am going away in the hall, my daughter came back and without talking she realises what is going on, there is a public phone with a large pad, she lift her hand to call out and I Wake up.‏

ouf, I could nott sleep anymore.‏

There is a drop, only one drop stain, only one drop, of blood on my pillow, and I am fully awake, I do not want to tell my daughter, but it freaks me out.

Wow, Flash. Time for protection protocol.
Time to call on powers which are greater than these devils.

If you don't want outside help, I also have an idea what to do, but it may be hard work.
When you meditate until there is no more mental activity
you reach a state of oneness, and at that moment you become invisible to them.
You also become powerful enough to frighten them away. They will respect your spiritual authority.

Of course, calling for help works just as well, since the sweeter souls who are out there
and who want to serve wherever someone is in trouble, will then come and assist you.
But they won't do it unless they are asked, as they don't want to interfere without someone's permission.
Their MO is mutual respect, non-invasion of another's space.

Thanks Ulli, yes i am asking for help for me and daughter.

The feeling I had is that it was about souls.

in my dream, cloning IS NOT alright, it goes hand in hand with programming and control, from the tall greys

the clones had no souls, they were programmed robots - the souls were not being transferred into bodies, so what happens to them‏?

When asking where are the originals, i was most probably asking about their soul, their inner life, what makes us who we are.

i was reading the texts from the "Allies of humanity" yesterday night, and they were insisting on preparing and studying Knowledge (i understand it to be the word they use as being wisdom and contact with the universal source, source of knowledge)

and that it is the only way we will save ourselve because it is truth and instant knowledge that is acquired, that other's ET technology is much too advance as well as their mind control - they can make us see anything they wish - for our development.

The only way is spiritual development with Knowledge, because then we know the truth, the futur, and what to do.

That this, the ET collectives cannot have nor can they be original and creative, therefore doing unplanned things and changing the outcomes.

And that very few human are actually capable of Knowledge. Otherwise, we will be controlled and put into slavery within a large ET collective.‏

[eaglespirit]

You HAVE that Knowledge, Flash, I mean You ARE the Knowledge...
You can and are and will change the world with it!
I Love You!

Thank You!

I had not dreamt that I could remember in about 2 years. 2 nights ago I dreamt of white kittens coming to me. And last night I dreamt of a war in the sky over what I knew was London. Blue beams of light shooting from ships with lots of lights.

Hi Daphne,
Astrologically speaking, two planets give clues to dreams: Neptune and the moon. Also their respective houses and signs, the 12th house and Pisces for Neptune, and the fourth house and Cancer for the moon.

Over the years I have examined my own sleep and dream patterns, and found that if there was no activity around any of those factors I would not remember my dreams.

The moon's position helps with memory, and Neptune's position clues us in to the extent with which we connect with our own, or even the collective unconscious. Neptune helps us look behind the veil which separates us from other dimensions.

Since the Internet is nowadays full of cats and kittens, but also UFO and war stories, my guess is that you went into the collective unconscious, and that is where you saw those visions.
Which would make that dream less personal than most.
Maybe you have reached that stage of development, spiritually, where your identity as a sovereign soul is well established and now need to find your place in the larger scheme...the collective of humanity, and perhaps all of life.

thank you for your analysis Ulli. It resonates with me. Sovereignty is on my mind frequently, as is the bigger picture. Especially how it is that we are both part of all, but also a unique expression of the whole.

anybody else??

Ulli, your energy is uber wonderful …

Thanks, Dianna.
And I'm in turn energized by listening to these three wonderful men chatting:
Bill Ryan, David Icke and Jordon Maxwell.

Gardener posted this video which I had not watched before:

Let's see if this embedded sound file works: http://www.leahyguitars.com/Audioz/PartyHorn.mp3

2 million page peeps, and that's just from members, not guests!

And, Amethyst make it especially hard today, posting a new thread, The Vagina, pulling visitors away from this page. The Vagina probably got two million views in one afternoon. :)

One of my heroes, John Robbins, wrote a book called "May All Be Fed", and that's what I think of this thread: cyber soul food for all who hunger.

May All Be Fed!

Love to you all,

I keep forgetting that sex sells. Shucks.
Here is my little effort to crank up the viewership.
Maybe 3 million by tomorrow evening?...

Calz,

The mountain I live on is a hill compared to the majestic Rockies of Colorado. You're right they are something to behold. Right now I do find solace in my little forest. Feels strange to be starting over again at the age of 46.

Spent the day with a little one. We went to the park and had a picnic. She ran around and played and I relaxed some. We are learning about ants and being gentle with them. She's fascinated with them. I see an ant farm on the horizon.
I'm worn-out from the day with her.

Congratulations Ulli and Villagers on 200,000,!!! Views. :grouphug:

Good morning, Here and Nowers. Sitting outside having coffee. Watching stray cat wind around my feet, listening to the conversation she offers. Living in denial about her growing belly. Waiting for a sign the sun will awaken from its slumber. Listening to the bugs and critters. I assume this is grasshopper song, as they have invaded.

Thinking about the nature of thoughts, wondering about the nature of emotions. Taking inventory, reflecting on the process and where I am.

Thinking of each of you, and where you are in the world. Unlikely gathering of special people, this Village.

After these last few sips of coffee, will sit in my space. Will start my day with these words:

"We rejoice in the Love and the Light and the Unity of the One Infinite Creator..."

Much Love,

[1inMany]

I am struck once again with the idea that there is an endless loop. A loop of negativity. I can't, I don't want to, it shouldn't, but thrown in are also feelings of unknown origin, just as negative. Destructive. Do not serve. Well, they serve *some* purpose, but not my Higher purpose.

I can move all this aside, but before I know it I am in the middle of it again.

Not new insight for me. But a good place to start, or restart.

Processing. Thank you for allowing this space where I can do this.

New York Times:
"There are two disciplines in which Silicon Valley entrepreneurs excel above almost everyone else. The first is making exorbitant amounts of money. The second is pretending they don’t care about that money.

To understand this, let’s enter into evidence Exhibit A: the annual Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nev.

If you have never been to Burning Man, your perception is likely this: a white-hot desert filled with 50,000 stoned, half-naked hippies doing sun salutations while techno music thumps through the air.

A few years ago, this assumption would have been mostly correct. But now things are a little different. Over the last two years, Burning Man, which this year runs from Aug. 25 to Sept. 1, has been the annual getaway for a new crop of millionaire and billionaire technology moguls, many of whom are one-upping one another in a secret game of I-can-spend-more-money-than-you-can and, some say, ruining it for everyone else.

Some of the biggest names in technology have been making the pilgrimage to the desert for years, happily blending in unnoticed. These include Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the Google founders, and Jeff Bezos, chief executive of Amazon. But now a new set of younger rich techies are heading east, including Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, employees from Twitter, Zynga and Uber, and a slew of khaki-wearing venture capitalists."

One thing to put on your fridge door: "Here and Now is as perfect as it gets. It's where you start."
then you decide from there how to make small improvements.

I usually have a close look at the stuff which irritates me the most,
as that is where things can easily tail-spin into catastrophe.
That's where I then start creating my new world.
Sometimes it is as mundane as an unmade bed.
Everything feels so different in a 5-star environment.
Few people get anxiety attacks in a tidy room, although I admit, they do exist.

This doesn't mean to buy expensive items, it simply means to create sacred space.
Can be done with flowers or aroma.

The metamorphosis is not what is generally thought. Sure, it means a stage of transformation in an insect, or from man to insect. But more than that, it is about the transformation that occurs after big brother has finished revealing his true colours and is finally removed. Read the last paragraph again:

After that, the three of them left the flat together, which was something they had not done for months, and took the tram out to the open country outside the town. They had the tram, filled with warm sunshine, all to themselves. Leant back comfortably on their seats, they discussed their prospects and found that on closer examination they were not at all bad - until then they had never asked each other about their work but all three had jobs which were very good and held particularly good promise for the future. The greatest improvement for the time being, of course, would be achieved quite easily by moving house; what they needed now was a flat that was smaller and cheaper than the current one which had been chosen by Gregor, one that was in a better location and, most of all, more practical. All the time, Grete was becoming livelier. With all the worry they had been having of late her cheeks had become pale, but, while they were talking, Mr. and Mrs. Samsa were struck, almost simultaneously, with the thought of how their daughter was blossoming into a well built and beautiful young lady. They became quieter. Just from each other's glance and almost without knowing it they agreed that it would soon be time to find a good man for her. And, as if in confirmation of their new dreams and good intentions, as soon as they reached their destination Grete was the first to get up and stretch out her young body.

I listened to this several years ago. To hear it again was helpful. Some days it doesn't feel like there's much progress in comprehension and retention, but it's because there's so much out there. Here and now is the priority. Still trying to figure out how to balance world events with my place in it, and other aspects of personal life. It's when I catch the wind chimes or the birds say, "Shut off the damn computer!" 90-95% of the time I do.

This is the story with the fantastic lies
Or some facts to help us minimalize
As for this shelter I can plainly deny
But you can't kill time without injuring us
And we'll count up all the goods now

This is the girl with such fantastic eyes
Such brute creation to but lay up beside
Should cut our nails and wash our feet
and enjoy the tedium that's yet been untried by me
And we'll count up all the goods now

There are more than you ever thought you'd own

Lift up your fingers and let's untie the string
Let's knot them all to see what this monster brings
'Cause its real soothing with its tail in its knees
'Cause you can cry once without harrowing thus
And we'll count up all the goods now

Don't you know that they've come to be your host?
Didn't mean to skank your art
Should've never hung around us
Didn't want your money, oh oh oh, oh baby now
Didn't mean to skank your art
Should've never hung around us (dear)
Didn't want the money, oh oh oh, oh baby now

When it lasted all day
we would blast it all day
We would bring it on and on

It's all in your head









Never posted the lyrics, though.

Good Morning Villagers!

...and while I'm 'revving my engine', as Ulli lovingly calls it, for some very real and imminent in the here and now moments and reasons we might want to take a good re-read or read of this very important short non-fictional story that is not an easy pill to swallow for many...it really needs to be spread far and wide, imho.
Grip and Others have brought it out time and again here at Avalon...this is an extreme wake up call and a powerful read in layman's language of the atrocities and lies. Sorry to be in anyone's face with this, but it needs to be known by all now.

My here and now life. 9:19 AM Sunday morning on the Barbados west coast.
Relaxing sounds from a Youtube channel interrupted by birdsong and the neighbour's dog barking.
Wind rustling palm leaves.
Looking forward to going for lunch at my son's house later,
and to showing youtube videos about Costa Rican volcanos to my adorable grandsons.

Also getting regular Skype messages from hubby who is at the beach on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
He took his mum (85) and three of his sisters. They all think they are in heaven.

Everything becomes perfect when you think it is perfect.
The only purpose of rescuing unhappy people is to show them this truth.
If they don't want to consider it move on and look for someone else who might be more inclined to give that idea a chance, at least.
This is what everything is all about...the world is being divided into those two camps.
After the shocks, getting back on one's feet immediately and connect to the best attitude there is...gratitude, willingness to serve in whatever capacity and seeing Source/God in everything.

I was wondering if us Villagers could step up a few things and bring some overdue rain to California.
Nora is the only regular Villager who lives there and we brought three thunderstorms to her forest this month.
So something is working, right?

Surely we can manage to extend the clouds a little further, towards north, south and east.

17:07 PM over here. Waiting for the technician to finish last works so as to finally enter new home and start closing the move. Having a very low tea with mother-in-law and my own mother as they bond to cast dark clouds on my life, in my very presence. Feeling cornered in a life designed by these two potent ladies. The children are happily eating cookies, unaware of the wickedness that one human can inflict on another under the guise of love.

Stand your ground. My husband and my mother (RIP) used to gang up against me.
Both emotional types who had no clue what I was really about.
They pretended it was tongue in cheek, but they meant every bit of it.
So far I have survived one of them.

There is Something Funny Going On by Dave Grusin
0bp3k5vEj_A

[Wind]

Here and now, I find myself wondering about life, again. To be precise, I wonder how attitude defines us. I certainly have not had it easy and yet I can be grateful for all the small things in life (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMRrCYPxD0I&hd=1). No one saved (http://i.imgur.com/5Ns6bzW.jpg) me, but I've been helped. I realize that even if I wished so, I cannot spare others from pain, but I can ease it. If the're willing open to receive that help, that is. After all, we have a relatively free will.

I saw a rather peculiar dream, again. I remember that it was "meaningful", but I don't remember much of it, only glimpses. I was carrying a crystal pendant in it and there was this rather beautiful woman besides me, I am not exactly sure if she was my higher self or some other angelic/human soul. I have seen this beautiful being only two times before during the past few weeks. I often have asked for guidance, but this is different.

Rarely there are words expressed in my dreams, or even if there are, I can't remember them. I only know that guiding occurs. I have one quartz pendant in this (dream) life and purple orgone one which I recently had purchased, but I don't wear them that often. I just keep them close to me like other crystals.

What do “Organic Superfood Nutiva Hempseed” and “Hemp Protein Powder (https://store.nutiva.com/hemp-protein/)” have to do with why I sprung for a food processor? A recipe book came with these products. And now that I no longer put energy into ‘what if the grid goes down?’, I’ve got a ton of beans and I’m already beaned out.

There’s no cooking to this recipe. After blending, salt, celery, onions, garlic, carrot, lemon juice, and a little H20, I chuck in two cans of rinsed beans (minus the cans, different kinds like black beans and chick peas ;)), and hempseed. Actually, you don't need the hempseed.

It reminds me of tuna salad, which I miss and no longer purchase. You can make lettuce and bean salad roll-ups, or add it to quinoa pasta, stuff it in tomatoes, peppers or celery, or spread it on toast.

Side notes:

Google Nutiva products. They are sold for less than @ Nutiva.com
Mike Adams tested protein powders and states:

”Nutiva’s hemp protein products have always tested very, very clean in terms of heavy metals (http://www.naturalnews.com/045108_vegan_proteins_heavy_metals_laboratory_test_results.html). In fact, I've never tested a hemp protein product that showed any concerning levels of any heavy metal.

Perhaps this is because a lot of hemp is grown in Canada where the environment is relatively well protected. It might also be related to the plant itself and its unwillingness to uptake high levels of toxic metals even if they are present in the soils.

More research is needed on this point, actually, and I'm hoping to conduct it myself in a greenhouse laboratory in the future where I plan to test heavy metals uptake by various plants in contaminated soil.”

That's very interesting, Wind. When I read your description, I immediately thought of Arwen Undomiel:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgmzqW8M4tw

Tolkien intended the character Frodo to be a metaphor for every person on this planet on the way to enlightenment. The four Hobbits (Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin) actually represent all the aspects of our psyche (Masculine, Feminine, and inner Child), with Frodo being the Masculine part of us that needs to take action and destroy our ego (the One Ring).

Frodo=Sacred Masculine aspect (ACTION)
Samwise=Sacred Feminine aspect (EMOTIONS)
Merry/Pippin=Inner Child aspect (THOUGHTS)

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (thoughts, emotions, actions). The REAL Trinity.

Tolkien intended the elves to represent the various E.T. races interacting with humanity. Arwen is from Orion, Galadriel from the Pleiades, etc. Arwen's pendent, which is in the video clip, is called the Evenstar. The Evenstar (EVENING-Star) represents Venus, which is the symbol of the Sacred Feminine:


26869


Arwen symbolizes the Sacred Feminine aspect of E.T.s, who assists Frodo (you) overcome the ego. Oh, the power of Venus! ;)

I'm not necessarily saying that Tolkien's character of Arwen visited you in your dream, but it could very well have been an E.T. Our DNA contains memories that is deeply hidden in our subconscious, and Tolkien knew this, which is why he wrote the Lord of the Rings and why so many people are drawn to it. They are drawn to it because their subconscious KNOWS that it is Truth.

Your own subconscious seems to be telling you something. It seems that your consciousness may have used the archetypal Feminine (Arwen and Evenstar necklace) to tell you that the Sacred Feminine is deeply situated in your being, and it very well may be true that this woman in your dream was an E.T. communicating with you. ;)

RunningDeer, awesome posts.

Of course, I gravitate to the food one, loving to cook as I do. I have been trying to eat more protein and have gone for soft lower-fat cheeses (not the 'low fat' version, but naturally lower like cottage cheese vs aged cheddar). So the hemp protein was welcome. I actually have some in my cupboard but haven't figured out how to use it well.

Skyhaven has a thread some villagers may like.

Thanks, Marianne, and I'll check out Skyhaven's site.

The hemp seed, I put it on butter and toast, add it to quinoa pasta, sprinkle it on bowl of shredded veggies or eat it alone. It's got a nice subtle nutty taste.

The powdered form, I use in a green drink with baby kale, apple, carrot and a glob of sun flower seed or almond butter. I use a blender. Sometimes, I'll combine the green drink with carrot, apple and ginger root juice that I've make with the masticating juicer.

Recently, I figured out to use baby kale rather than the mature bunch. Baby kale is more expensive, but it's cost effective for me because I'd tossed out at least half of the mature kale. And because I pay more for the baby kale, I make sure to use it.

Quite the theory you got there Sam! Makes a lot of sense to me, thanks. ;)

That Venus part is really interesting, Venus is also know as the lightbringer and you probably already know who resided there, since you seem to have done your homework! It certainly seems that I happen to be in connection with the Sacred Feminine quite often. I always have had a huge respect for it. Gaia too is a sacred feminine being, are people hearing her calling? I think they should, because now is the time.

Julia/heretogrow is asking for our assistance. (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?72502-Message-Board-Avalonians-Request-Our-Help&p=868659&viewfull=1#post868659)


Dear, Dear Avalonians, I have a prayer request that you pray that my dear Granny, Madeline will be able to leave this world peacefully, in her sleep, as that is what she requests, soon. She has been praying to "go home" since May. It has been an uphill battle for her. My AUnt whom she lives with has a baby monitor in her room and she heard a male voice on the monitor say Madeline it is time. She then heard my grandma say I am not ready, there is something I have to do first. I know it sounds surrreal and untrue but she is suffering so and we don't know the reasons. It may be her Baptist upbringing and we all want her to be released from this pain and suffering but we know she may be afraid of dying because she may think she will be going to hell. This is real to her, although she has never really "sinned" intentionally, has never drank a drop of alcohol in her life, has never smoked anything ever... yet she has a good mind and she has formed opinions, in her mind she has judged. she has used her mind and has not always subscribed to popular opinion so in her mind she has sinned. Please pray for her to let go and pass peacefully. That is all I ask.

Much love to you,
Julia

I was wondering if us Villagers could step up a few things and bring some overdue rain to California.
Nora is the only regular Villager who lives there and we brought three thunderstorms to her forest this month.
So something is working, right?

Surely we can manage to extend the clouds a little further, towards north, south and east.
Please take our rain. Our water table must be overlowing by now, and we have the World Equestrian Games getting a soaking and in for more rain. As I write, it has just eased off. Let it be teleported to California, as there is no natural weather system to get the job done.

One of the troubles with weather-forecasting is that it is getting too reliable, i.e. too much of a self-fulfilling prophecy because more people buy into it. Compare this with the post office, which will always be unreliable enough for people to say 'your check is in the post, you should have got it by now'. :)

Marianne and Paula.. I was just reading the last couple of pages of H&N and noticed that on page 2044 Paula has answered Marianne's post before Marianne posted it... now c'mon.. own up.. someone is folding time aren't they ;) I'm on to you 2!

Here and now, an eventful day. After a long, strange and mostly sleepless and restless night, a 6 or 7ft python was doing an unusual dance (for a good 10 minutes or so) on the window ledge just a couple of feet from where I sit at the 'puter... lovely to watch up so close. Then this afternoon driving into the town near where I live I saw a large Swamp Harrier (a raptor/hawk) sitting just a few feet from the edge of the road looking a bit dumbfounded. I was in town for a couple of hours and when I drove home he was still there, so I went home and called the wildlife rescue people and arranged to meet them back at the spot to show where he was. So he had been there about 3 hrs. When I went back to the spot to put a towel over him and wait... as soon as I approached he just up and flew away. A stunning, powerful bird up close and of course I was delighted that he was apparently unscathed.

Abdu'l-Baha talking the new principles for mankind:
Already in 1912.

1. INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION OF REALITY
Discover for yourselves the reality of things, and strive to assimilate the methods by which noble-mindedness and glory are attained among the nations and people of the world.
No man should follow blindly his ancestors and forefathers. Nay, each must see with his own eyes, hear with his own ears and investigate independently in order that he may find the truth. The religion of forefathers and ancestors is based upon blind imitation. Man should investigate reality.

2. ABANDONMENT OF ALL PREJUDICE
O people, make firm the girdle of endeavor, that perchance religious prejudice may be annulled. For love of God and his servants engage in this great and mighty matter. Religious hatred and rancor is a world-consuming fire, and the quenching thereof most arduous, unless the hand of divine might give men deliverance from this unfruitful calamity.

Beware of prejudice; light is good in whatsoever lamp it is burning. A rose is beautiful in whatever garden it may bloom. A star has the same radiance if it shines from the east or the west.

All the prophets of God have come to unite the children of men and not to disperse them; to put in action the law of love and not enmity.

We must banish prejudice. Religious, patriotic, racial prejudices must disappear, for they are the destroyers of human society.

We must become the cause of the unity of the human race.

3. THE ONENESS OF THE WORLD OF HUMANITY

White doves and gray doves associate with each other in perfect friendship. Man draws imaginary lines on the planet and says, "This is a Frenchman, a Mussulman, an Italian!" Upon these differences wars are waged. Men are fighting for the possession of the earth. They fight for that which becomes their graves, their cemeteries, their tombs.

In reality all are members of one human family — children of one Heavenly Father. Humanity may be likened
unto the vari-colored flowers of one garden.

There is unity in diversity.

Each sets off and enhances the other's beauty.

We should consider formulating an Avalon Weather Team much like the Avalon healers. If a bunch of us meditate at the same time on certain days and focus our thoughts on California, perhaps we could influence the weather. There is no doubt that this drought is due to weather manipulation by the Elite, so this would be restoring conditions back to "normal" instead of changing the weather. Our minds are connected with Gaia and our collective mood effects her mood (weather), and I think this would be something worth trying...

Any thoughts...?

Good Morning Villagers..and once again, bear with me, but its gotta be out in the open everywhere to be seen and heard! Somethng very wonderful and powerful is bringing this on now...like just around the corner "now" : )
......
I am getting stronger messages than ever to bring this writing 'out in the open' for All to read and pass on. The writer put all of her/his courage together to get this out a couple years ago...some of it is even updated by us because of the new knowledge that is spreading far and wide now. The writer knew well not to include any kind of personal autobiography so that it could get out without any direct harm other than being called a 'crackpot'. This is real, folks....and this explains in enough detail why many of the wrongs in front of us are there that we all wonder how it got this way and we just do not think we can do anything about correcting. We can correct it, but it is going to take more of us to nudge it along and get together any way we can and literally stop it in its track once and for all. This writing shows us why many of us can barely make ends meet and are all a few weeks away from being in deep monetary trouble without continually pounding on the workaday world to procure enough to get by. It is designed this way intentionally so that WE do not have the time or energy to really sit back and notice it and really learn about it and do something about it and free up our time to connect to a higher spiritual world all around us that is abundant and limitless in its supply of giving us everything we need to survive and grow rather rapidly into what we really are...higher spiritual energy that can truly change the world in a heartbeat if more of us take just a bit of our time to take a little action. The People down in the trenches, you and me, had little or nothing to do with this evolving into what it is because it was so cleverly and deceitfully done. But we can create an entrainment of love and knowledge around the world and literally feed everyone here on the planet and stop all the wars and open the doors for monumental change. It IS happening...but more of us need to get on board in little ways....it is imminent, but we need to help beautify it personally and accelerate it with our personal love and knowledge and little bits of action 'out in the open' that THEY have done everything they can to not allow to happen. Please make it happen, together, one by one. I Love You!

Dennis, it takes one to know one.

Actually, the original message was revealed earlier, in the middle of the 19th century, by his father,
with whom he was imprisoned in the prison city of Acre, then Palestine.

Baha'u'llah was never officially freed, although the commandant of the prison offered him a house outside the city walls,
when he himself became a believer. Baha'u'llah died in 1892.

Abdu'l-Baha was freed after the Young Turk Revolution in 1908.



I just googled Young Turk Revolution and Abdu'l-Baha and found this:

Still drizzling here, but there should be enough rain to go round – 3/4 of the planet is under water for God’s sake.

No need to invoke the evil deeds being done by man against man. It is well known that drought and desertification were often the result of poor husbandry, but with the knowledge and the technology we now have, it is criminal that there should still be people suffering from drought. But of course, the explanation of how things could easily be improved also explains why they are not. I am not talking about highly sophisticated free energy devices, but low-tech stuff.

According to Gerald Pollack, water naturally creates what he calls its ‘fourth state’ (after solid, liquid and gas), thereby creating an electric potential difference that can be tapped. You can then do what you like with this energy, including of course desalination. The beauty of this effect however is that this ‘EZ water’ is itself pure, and therefore desalination is already taking place in certain conditions, ready for collection. Hence the infrastructure would be very low-cost, involving no external energy supply and no mechanical desalination process either. You could have rivers moving uphill, inland under their own ‘steam’.

The irony of the criminal negligence in this area is that they tell us about catastrophic flooding of the land by rising sea water. Let’s do it by hand: bring in six inches of water, and set up irrigation programmes wherever they are needed. The only difference between that catastrophic scenario and idyllic desert regeneration is desalination.

[Dennis Leahy]

Carrying on from my previous post, I’ve only just found this in a book that arrived in today’s post, the Canadian writer Robertson Davies addressing a class of new graduates on ‘What Will the Age of Aquarius Bring?’; this was back in 1975:


Aquarius is represented as a Water Carrier, a man bearing on his shoulder an enormous pot of water, from which flows a mighty stream to refresh and replenish the earth.
Refreshment and replenishment would be welcome, would they not? Shall we, at last, learn how to feed our fiercely increasing population, and maybe perhaps learn to do it by usefully employing our vast wastes of water? Might we even give up the obscene madness of treating our waterways as sewers? I cannot say, for I am neither alchemist nor astrologer, and I have a well-grounded horror of prophets.

And this: (by the years 2000 to 2025,)

you will have learned to live. You will have shed many follies and you will have found out many things of which you do not even dream, now. Have courage. Pluck whatever is hopeful out of the strange events that lie before us all.

Not bad for a not-for-prophet speaker.

The practice of magic requires fierce determination – a willingness to go to any extreme and endure any hardship necessary – in order to realize your desire. The reason why it won’t work for the average person is that most people have their wills completely zapped by the decadent society in which they live, so they fritter their entire lives away in fruitless fantasizing instead of rolling up their sleeves and getting down to it.

Here and now, listening to and watching some things that make me feel really good. Reading things that make me feel really good. Not emotionally good, although certainly my mood is lighter. But soul-good. Familiar.

Experiencing gratitude. Experiencing hope, and a force that makes my energy tingle. Ahhhhh.

Much Love,

[eaglespirit]

My God Folks, its happening, right before our eyes it IS happening. I have been sharing things with hard working young people that many have young children, that are, well, very concerned about their children's future...and rightfully so. I have about been brought to tears by their reactions...no, I have been bought to tears because my voice has been breaking up in these special conversations.
What I am getting from them is love, genuine love, and I do not know them. "That's REAL talk Dan"..."I needed to hear that"..."I want to learn more". I was sharing with a young landscaper a few days ago and said to him "hey, you're in it every day, you see how things grow, this beautiful place is a limitless supplier...the private small farmer has about been squashed to nothing, purposely." This guy hugged me after the conversation and has a 2 year old son and wants so so much to see him grow up in a place of real love and real truth...for him and those all around him, a to and fro happening, of real give and loving take. No wars, no senseless hate.
I went to a C-Lab yesterday to give a blood sample checking my seizure medication level...the technician was an older woman named Elaine and I just felt her beauty and shared a bit with her. She probably should not be working so hard and shared with me when I asked her name because she did not have a name tag only the company logo...and I said I know your name isn't "c-lab" and she said it may as well be. She is still working too many hours a week I'm sure because she probably has to to keep things going(mortgage) and help her kids and grandkids too. She was about brought to tears herself when I told her there are some very good things coming and we are right in the middle of beautiful unimaginable changes, and she said " Thank You so much, Dan, I really needed to hear that today, I needed to hear that very much and need to feel this more, thank you"
I am not out trying to 'convert' anyone, I am simply sharing what I know and what I have experienced through that Native American Spirit gift I was given a few years ago.
We can change it all by the little things we do...and I know you know this...but we have to open up to more people so that they CAN open up their hearts...we have to treat everyone like extended family, everyone we possibly can! I'm done today, Love You : )

when one works next to the suffering crowd, shoulder to shoulder, and shows some understanding for their plight,
for them that is the best therapy.
And in our poverty-stricken valley in Costa Rica the people are just not used to being shown kindness,
so when they get it their tears start to flow and they grab you and cling like Koala bears.

If I were ever to now start a factory there, these people would offer to work for less than minimum wage which is $2.50 an hour,
just to get the love and understanding and occasional hand-outs.
This is what it has come to.
Stories about the upcoming Costa Rica economy are not to be trusted...
one just needs to look at the rural areas.
Food and gas prices have been rising faster than coffee pickers' wages.

Well, Dan, I’m no engineer or even a decent handyman, and I’m probably understating the technicalities involved. Not a good idea. But I would suggest that there are intermediate enabling attitudes between the hands-on sleeve-roller and the daydreamer. It doesn’t make me a fruitless fantasizer if I remind/inform people who have the minimal skills I don’t have that, for example, water will flow freely along a hydrophilic tube and that they don’t need a patent to devise whatever apparatus they like on the basis of that.
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjst/e2013-01837-8?no-access=true
It would appear to be possible to enhance the wettability of copper by surface treatment. http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1929&context=iracc
Given that copper tubing is the preferred material for transporting water inside buildings, there ought to be some way of marrying the experimental data with the materials available at a DIY store. DIY is usually associated with people doing the same work as a professional while removing the cost of that professional. But the DIY spirit is more to do with having a job needing doing, and getting it done with whatever is to hand. This of course includes unorthodox uses; this is also incidentally why DIY sometimes gets a bad name, but it doesn’t have to be that way; quite simply, most objects can do not only what they were designed for, but other things as well.

Take for instance the trumpeter playing the garden hose; or the watering-can clarinet :)):

DIY is anti-patent engineering. Patents bring money and ownership into the equation. You are supposed to get both publicity and protection for disclosure, but for anything really worthwhile, you supply disclosure and get taken out of the market. It’s a mug’s game, because for anything major they bypass the whole process – unless it is for something unpatentable like DNA: they will patent that (but we have disclosure). To be smart about this, we need to do the same. No disclosure and no market, you just do it, people see it and you tell them how to do it themselves. Water is the kind of area where there is still some wiggle room. They haven’t yet patented the properties of water we know about. And of course they can’t patent the properties of water we aren’t being told much about.

[Carmody]

the problem with wettability is that is usually a consumable ionic/ph/chemical inter-layer, of a sort. In such a case, it eventually wears away, as we are dealing with Casimir and van der Waals forces.

To get a flow down a pipe to be lowered in it's 'stickum', we have to go to surface treatment. Such effective surface treatment is eventually damaged due to particulate flow, introduction of chemical ph offsets and/or oxidizing situations. In the case of a wind instrument...Human breath, temperature variation, etc. In a water pipe, not much different. In the case of a sea roving inhabitant, ie whale, fish and shark, etc, it is a self repairing self replenishing situation.

Regarding wind instruments, it is also probable that the attributes of the problem are integral to the operation of the wind instrument. Resonance requires hard reflection, when in 'best result' circumstances.

I have found this interview with Robert Benton talking about the cinematographer of all his movies. Nestor Almendros was also the cinematographer of Truffaut and Rhomer.
We met years ago. I was so anxious... he was so charming. He was just shoot "Life Lessons" with Scorsese and have to rejetct "Good Fellas" because he has an agreement with Robert Benton for "Billy Bathgate".
Memories:)

- This is the first film in which you have not worked with Nestor Almendros. Have You missed him?

- Without a doubt. Nestor has been one of the most brilliant cinematographers of the twentieth century and one of my dearest friends. It is often said that films are not written with pen and paper ,"they" are written with a camera. Therefore, I can say that Nestor Almendros was the co-writer of all my films. No doubt he was one of the great masters of cinema.

There is a book (thanks Milneman) that answeres the water question, maybe completely. It is called the Humanure Handbook (I will provide a link tomorrow to the pdf, but you can google it. I am on the phone today.). Already my family is in the process of transitioning to this different mode of waste (manure!) management system.

Wizards ever are out on the cutting edge of the Here and Now. My design is a seat perched on a bucket, atm. Very minimalist, yet so far very effective. We are in our fourth week or so of such compost manufacture. All the signs are there of a very healthy heap.

Thanks for the videos and sharing Araucaria!

Just so You know I was not pointing at You or putting it on You...
We WILL see the 'magic' unfold more than ever now : )

You shan't forget, Eagle-Dan, that for some the word Magic never needs quotation marks. As it Is, So be It. Or, alternately, Universe is as Universe does.

Free pdf - The Humanure HandBook (http://www.gubaswaziland.org/files/documents/resource9.pdf)

On Ron Mauer’s blog there’s a section called, “Composting Toilets (http://ronmauer.net/blog/?page_id=216)”. Topics include: interaction manual, a free handbook, videos, how to build your own, outside resources, and more.

I'd encourage everyone to check out Ron's blog (http://ronmauer.net/blog/). Lots of diverse topics and "how to's".

Today I was on a roll. Still have one more to finish. Made six pieces in total.

[PurpleLama]

I see power/polarity, like the mason's checkerboard. Beautiful.

[Marianne]

Ulli, your creations are so interesting and beautiful. Roll on!

One more lung drain, next Tuesday morning then a doc appt, if all is okay, then 3 more weeks and hopefully have the drain removed. Then I won't have anything alien in my body (that I know of!). Lung drains hurt--Fred has been doing them for me, at first one every day. He's very kind and stops it the second the pain starts (which means all the fluid is out). But still not much fun.

Did I thank you all with all my heart for being there for me? There were moments when it was hard to feel anyone, but most of the time I could. There were days when I threw up every hour day and night.

Taking a page from the village philosophy, let's visualize something fun or good.

Looking forward to PL's fire altar vid!

Nora, I see you as safe, secure and strong. It is so.

John, I so get what you're saying about DIY. My husband embodies that -- he is a retired engineer who's always looking for a way to do something/fix /improve /invent something using what's available, or what he can scavange. And his creations turn out very nice -- he's a perfectionist too (a gift/curse).

Here's something from a year ago, the Paraguay trash philharmonic.

The old New Englanders say, use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. If everyone did that, wouldn't there probably be enough to go around for everyone? That's my vision.

[ulli]

Marianne, you have been so brave and strong. I can't find the words...
did you ever feel like it was not worth struggling on?
It must have been hell to endure all of this, and for so many months.
I'm glad you are feeling better now.

[Marianne]

Ulli, your strength was one of the things that helped me most. You sent me messages and even though I couldn't find the focus to answer them, they helped me. Also my other Avalon friends, the mods and the healer's circle. I felt like you all were not giving up on me, so I didn't either.

It was only when one more and one more medical issue popped up, until I had a 3-page list of medications, that I wondered how I was going to get out of the situation, which was not working. In fact, one of the family docs said to me, 'you were very healthy before surgery' and felt the 'first, do no harm' commandment had been violated. I agreed with him.

Within myself, I finally said, enough. I'm going home to heal now. I think the docs and both hospitals were tired of me by then, and didn't know what more to do, so they let me go.

I am surrounded by traditional thinkers. If I'd had someone from Avalon physically here to advise me and support me, there would've been a different outcome.

But done is done. It was a major life lesson for me, and I discovered how many true friends I have, and there's so much love in the world, that came flowing to me. I still get that--people telling me it's wonderful to see me back, etc.

Exercising (even just walking a few steps to start with) and a positive attitude when I could manage it, were good healers.

This is going on facebook...Love You All !
...
Good Evening All of You Beautiful People here in this Loving corner of facebook,
All of My Heart is Truly in this Greeting!

Some People may think I am on some kind of obsessive crusade lately and think I have truly lost it, so be it!
Enough Dan...this is crazy...where do You get this information...it's ludicrous.

I have to bring these things out now, out fully to People I Love that really do not want to accept it or look at it.
I should have died late last year but here I am, there IS a reason for everything...including the need to bring out the ugly truths in front of Us. We have been deceitfully duped and it is high time to set it straight and correct it...and We CAN Correct it. If we do not learn of these things and look at them squarely We cannot make them go away.
Many of You have broken that personal chain that had bound You, many Familes have now broken the chain that was binding the Love in Their combined Lives. It is tme to step it up a very big notch and unbind the very BIG chain in front of Us. The hidden secrets have to come out, fully now. If You canot handle some of them and feel they're nuts simply put them aside and take a good hard and deep look at the ones You can...it takes work..and the manipulators of this beautiful place do not think we have it in us and have done everything possible to keep us complacent.
There are a couple hundred or so families that literraly run this world....and there are another handful at the very top that are simply heartless psycopathic lunatcs in 3 piece suits and gowns and uniforms. They have been doing very bad things for a very long time and need our sweat and tears to keep it all going...we must stop giving our energy to them...We MUST stand up and say "enough". Their ugly system of control will collapse right before our eyes if enough of Us do whatever we possibly can to break this big chain binding us. It is going to take work and determination...just in little pesonal ways, fervent ways. We have to look at these things and them, we have to play one less afternoon of golf, take one less boat ride, one less hunting trip and take Our Own Time and look at it squarely in the face.
Everything around us(including us) is owned by them..this is not some joke. We have to walk away from their system of control in our own ways...it isn't easy but we have to do it. Ownership of anything is simply a deceitful malady...we cannot play their game anymore...we are bigger and better than anything they have thrown at us. They throw it at us non-stop...it s all around us in every news broadcast in every newspaper on the internet...everywhere. Every single thng in the world of commerce and more is rigged by them so that we do not have the ability or time to step back and really start creating a new world. They have stolen that energy from us...they live off of it. We have to stop letting them have our souls.
"I'm doing ok...I have a few things...I eat...my house is almost paid for...I have some things to have fun with..I have some good people in my life"
GOOD, enjoy it and them, but understand that it is like giving a bone to a dog as far as they are concerned. It keeps us pre-occupied and placid.
We can and must stop the wars they create...do you know how much money it takes to start a war deceitfully and keep it going? We are paying for it, you and I...and always have. Take a good look a some history and pictures of WWII...the pope and hitler and his buddies in pictures together smiling...what's that about, c'mon. I can go on and on and on and on...but will not tonite. Holy Wars...what is that? WE HAVE TO STOP IT!
It is time to get off the pot...love one another, yes, but pull your sleeves up just a bit and get in this and do away with this madness once and for ALL, one by one together!
Good Night!

[Dennis Leahy]

Oh, Marianne, even hearing it in retrospect hurts my heart. Thank you for fighting your way through, and back to us, and this world. We need you.

I wish I could have been there with you through this, but very glad you at least got the support you needed (even if it seemed just barely so sometimes.)

Heal fully (and quickly), and state to the Universe - loud and clear - that regardless of any soul contract that may have been made before incarnating, the present situation (on through the rest of your life) requires you to have abundant, vibrant health. No more infirmity in this lifetime! None! Just vibrant, radiant health.

Love,

Dennis

[RunningDeer]

Marianne, I only know you to be heart. That’s where I see all your light flow from. It’s strong and vibrant. It encases your body-whole.

It’s one of the gifts your offer the world. And there’s a lot more for you to share, for a long time to come.

Here’s a pray wave to quicken this part of the journey.

Love,
Paula xo

I have found this interview with Robert Benton talking about the cinematographer of all his movies. Nestor Almendros was also the cinematographer of Truffaut and Rhomer.
We met years ago. I was so anxious... he was so charming. He was just shoot "Life Lessons" with Scorsese and have to rejetct "Good Fellas" because he has an agreement with Robert Benton for "Billy Bathgate".
Memories:)

- This is the first film in which you have not worked with Nestor Almendros. Have You missed him?

Just hitting the "thanks" button does not do this justice. All I might add to this, is any energetic curse needs to be broken as well, any past life agreements and vows of poverty, subservience, acquiescence, and support of this system need to be rebuked, and new declarations of self actualization, self responsibility and self determination, towards free will, sovereignty and the right use of energy need to replace them.

Ulli, beautiful creations. Hope all goes well at the kiosk. I bet someone has been looking for just those colors :)

PL, how in the world is that altar still standing? Must be held together by Spirit.

Here and Now, I am enjoying some peace. So I am sitting in gratitude for this. Em is apparently back to her old habit of being up all night and sleeping most of the day. She is supposed to start schooling next week, so we will have to get her shifted back. If I left her alone, I think she would prefer this schedule permanently. Huh. So odd to me. Oh well.

Introduction, plus Parts 1-7 found here (http://earthcouncil244.proboards.com/board/8/elf-transmissions).

Hiya!

For those new to this body of material, it has been slowly eeking out to the public over the better part of a decade. It has intrigued a great many people over the years, on many online communities - some still around, most now defunct. We happen to be one such community that is still up and running, and while the entire transmission series is now available as an ebook, I thought I'd continue with our own "chapter-by-chapter" posting standard here at Earth Council.

This is the link to the ebook (Paula adds here - link provided goes to BBS radio (http://bbsradio.com/files_byothers/ELF_Transmissions_061707.pdf)), apparently made available in June of 2007, or perhaps it was written at that time and made available... who knows when.

This document(s) has been very difficult to find, keep and keep track of over the years, for some mysterious reason.

In case anyone reading the material here instead of downloading the ebook doesn't see the introduction portion, I felt it important to quote up front:


Introduction to the ELF Transmissions

"This book is a synthesis of two lifetimes of inquiry into the nature of reality on Planet Earth…two lifetimes, two beings who came together fifteen years ago and set out to finish their individual life paths together in order to explore the fundamental question that they both began to ask at very early ages. That question, simply stated, is:

Why is this planet so screwed up, what is really going on here, why don’t all the people walking around know that there is something really wrong here…and what can I do about it?

What follows are the fruits of the last fifteen years inquiry into seeking the answers to that question. This is our answer, not anyone else’s and certainty not “the answer.” It is only one piece, our contribution, our individual signature and insights, our perspective to add to yours, the reader, and to anyone else who has asked this same fundamental question. We offer it simply as a contribution to the dialog. Nothing more, nothing less.

Somewhere along the line the pieces started crystallizing into a coherent picture. We also noticed that many other people, in their explorations, are coming forward now with their own crystallization, and that collectively, the totality of our collective consciousness is aggregating the bigger picture. We are waking up from a long and very deep slumber and what we are beginning to see and understand is nothing short of astounding.

The essence of the wake up process is about realizing we live in a false reality, just as the characters in the movie The Matrix understood exactly the same thing. But many think that the movie was only a metaphor, not realizing that in fact we literally live in a false hologram and that this hologram is very much controlled by outside forces for their own purposes and their own agenda. That agenda is to create a prison planet in which the population slumbers forward in an endless repetition of superficial and meaningless exercises accepted as real life, while their true life force and energies are systematically entrained and channeled into a harvesting process that saps all but the basic levels of awareness and creativity away from themselves. And of course, as in the movie, the energy thus taken goes first and foremost into maintaining the prison itself…”

I have a section of my library that stands alone. I call it the Purple Lama section, each book selflessly placed on my lap to devour. The first book that sent me down the rabbit hole, The Edgar Cayce Compendium, was actually PL's book that made its way to me circuitously before I had rightfully met PL, given to me by the one we call John the (Conqueror) Baptist.

Had to bring it here for synchronicity sake, Marianne : )

If those of you reading these essays care to take a proactive approach for yourself in relationship to these concepts, we suggest that the first step is to disengage any and all connections to the "re-binding" systems we have discussed in this part. In every re-lig-ion we have taken oaths and vows that have bound us to the laws of the gods, and we must first unleash ourselves from such binding constraints. To do so, simply center yourself in a meditative state, go inward and call upon your true and only Solar Christed Self, and declare your intention to be free and sovereign in this and all other realities and universes. Then declare that you are forthwith rescinding any and all vows such as vows of poverty, chastity, bodhisattva vows, oaths of allegiance, fealty, subservience, and so forth. Feel and embody this declaration and allow it to truly permeate your entire being, with passion and commitment to your True Self. Really feel it as the shackles and bonds of illusion fall away from you. Declare to yourself, inside and out loud, "I hereby rescind any and all oaths and vows, through time and space, that I or any other incarnation of my whole larger Self has taken, in this reality and universe or in any other parallel reality or universe." Observe your reactions and emotional content of what comes back to your perceptions, and gain the understanding that that provides. Declare yourself to be a sovereign being, one that retains full rights and responsibilities, full power and authority over yourself and your reality, including and founded upon the principles of self-governance, self-responsibility, self-generating capacities, self-sustaining life force and self-correcting processes as you return back to wholeness and balance. A true sovereign being embodies and lives upon these principles, and honors the life force and equivalent foundational principles in all other beings, not projecting their power and authority outside of themselves and taking full responsibility for all their acts and deeds, thoughts and manifestations. Upon that foundation we become free and sovereign beings and can no longer be controlled by outside forces, and upon that foundation first our individual reality will begin to rearrange itself to accommodate this new found freedom, and then the larger whole will in turn begin to entrain itself around the center point of such higher organizing principles as we come more fully into ourselves.

"The Seal of the Saints-Prophethood and Sainthood in the Doctrine of Ibn Arabi" is the book I referred to on the previous page. Its been six or seven years, so I will read it again before passing it to 1, and after she gets done I will mail it to Playdo if he hasn't read it. Very important to our class of Wizardry, IMO. It might have been given to me by the Baptist, but I honestly don't recall, it may have been another aquisition by my "Zen method of book selection" whereby I stand in front of a large shelf of books and let my eyes go out of focus and wait until I see a flash of light, and pick out the book behind it.


I generally avoid the topics of Archons and the Matrix movies. I have a contrary view to what most people would hold, hereabouts. Most look at these subjects and see vital information for understanding the reality we live in, for me the opposite is true. All are MEMEs that hold us in the prison, that formed the very bars of it. Nowhere are there powers we are subject to except for those of our own making, which we have forgotten. It is so easy to see the Matrix, but how hard is it to see that it is simply the mental realm and entirely our own creation for entertaining the concepts in the God-forsaken movie to start with? What are Archons as a popular meme except for thought forms we devised ourself and lost power over the instant we ascribed them to some outside force?

Listen to what Eagle-Dan says about the Solar Christed Self. That is much closer to what is real.

Thanks for the reminder, Lama. I'm battling some of my inner archons right now,
and the meme I have to transform that that 1% versus 99% meme.

Writing this down is my first step towards recovery.
But my nerves are extra frail right now, as there has been a constant noise barrage from a home remodel job next door. The walls of the houses here were made of pure cement to withstand hurricanes, and the new neighbors want to turn all the windows into doors. The banging and hammering and drilling noises have been constant, for weeks now, and I'm thinking of escaping for good, especially as my family relations have taken a turn south after I accidentally let it be known that I considered Jim Humble and his MMS the real deal, due to tons of anecdotal evidence. I'm a nervous wreck.
I could do with a hug...

How is it disempowering to imagine that we can be manipulated by parasites of the mind, that thought forms that we (or others create) can attempt to impose their will (imaging that it is possible that they actually have it) on you, that we may be used or pharmed or pets of some being with more knowledge about how to manipulate/create reality?

I understanding that literally believing the Matrix or “Sophia Mythos” is probably not conducive to realizing who you are…but I think the concepts introduced (or re-hashed) in each are valuable. I found I gained power over external forces by discerning the information the movie and “teachings” presented.

It’s our emotional connection to the material that is what is important--allowing the possibility with fearless loving detachment has helped in my relationship with the reality I find myself in. I believe in forces outside of myself, and information about what they may possibly be—the trying to shine light on the darkness, recognizing what we see is probably (definitely) not exactly as it may seem—is important to examine.

Big hugs for you then Ulli, and some.

While I agree with PL, I also think things like archons have to be dealt with. When you get a splinter in your finger, that foreign body is not a part of the reality of you, but it will sure give you hell until you deal with it. If you allow skin to grow over it, you will just have to cut into the skin. But when it does suddenly pop out, what relief!

And The Beat Gooooes Onnnnnnnnn : )

...another facebuck : ) opening...put Judge Dale's sports talk on his expose with this.

.......

Good Morning All : )

I cannot stop sharing openly now here on facebook for some very good reasons...I simply can't stop. There are many Others that have written books when things have happened to them showing what is coming but that is not my calling. But something oh so beautiful is calling me now to share all of this right out in the open here. This place, facebook, is a place where alot of people look in...and it is doing something more then the designers expected or maybe even want...but something Higher is driving this place where alot of You People are sharing Your True Hearts.
It has come time to really look hard at things and change them, NOW, for the better!
I was seeing holographically for 3 weeks when that gift on that Nipmuc Hill was given me. Everything I looked at everywhere, the holographic was there right in front of me.
I visited my Sister after coming from the home of my loving Daughter and her loving Mother from sharing. I was pretty quiet about this and just wanted to connect with her and say hello. We were sitting at the dining room table and I was looking out the window behind her while we were talking. I asked her where her husband had buried the cats that had passed on that she loved. She put her thumb over her shoulder pointing to the trees out the window at that side of the yard and said over there. The reason I asked is because I was seeing 2 cat spirits floating in the trees. I just smiled and continued listening to her talk.
The reason I bring this out is because my family loves sports and physical activity and that is a very wonderful thing in our family But Judge Dale brings out a tough one for most to handle that many of us already know about professional sports in small degrees. I was watching the Patriots on TV that January 2007 and there was a rainbow band moving around the outside of the television. I was looking at the football field and was seeing images all over the ground everywhere on that gridiron Most of the things I would usually see outside were pleasant and uplifting...but I was seeing gargoyles and other strange images and logos that did not make me feel good on that field on tv. I changed the channel to other games and the same thing was happening...I could not believe it. Talk about throwing it a us subliminally! The professional sports world is a very big money maker for the people that control this place that are being found out about more than ever now. The world of this kind of entertainment keeps us immensely pre-occupied, immensely...and takes our time and money relentlessly.
I love my family dearly, so please do not take this wrong but simply look at it another way from the very big picture sense, that picture getting clearer and clearer every day now. Everybody enjoy themselves...but we gotta look at these things closer for we are about to come upon big changes that are changing it all...the deceit in our faces is going away, but we have to know it is in front of us, ever so strongly, to keep us from the time(and our own hearts and minds) to take to learn what we truly are. Please give me extreme leverage on this, please, for it has to come out..I have to put it here. You already know this about this world in little ways. Love You All!

In that song I posted, CC asks:

Thanks Purplelama and Ulli, you are both waking me up. Yes, the matrix is our own making, as well as the 99%/1% meme. - i had to check meme to make sure we had the same meaning: cultural item repeatedly transmitted - synonyms: buzzword, trend, concept, craze, fad, fashion, idea, kick, meteor, vogue - although i do not understand what meteor has to do with it lollll. All the above definition being made of air, they are from our own creation literally.

Therefore, the meme 99%/1% is our own too, having a 3D impact into matter. The slave mentality perpetrated again in our own psyche. Up to us to chose.

I named the new kitty Blue, a tribute to one of my favorite dogs—owned by a dear friend that I lived with in college. Years later, when I got my first very own dog—she got pissed when I named her Maggie, which was her other dog’s name. We straightened that out though, her baby’s name was really Sugar Magnolia (her other dog, momma, actual full name is Stella Blue), mine was actually Margaret Simpson—cuz she was a little Chiuaha mix that would never get bigger than baby size.

Anyways, my Blue is not a tribute to the Grateful Dead, just Stella that I miss dearly, the fact that he’s kinda bluish (my youngest’s friend said “hey you got a Russian Blue!” and he responded “how did you know his name?”…not realizing there it was the name of a breed—I hadn’t either), this song from one of my all time favorite performers:

BE2eEjTfTeQ

…and a memory I have: of that same friend’s best friend V (who I also was very close with) first time bringing her daughter to our “new” house on campus. It was so sweet when the beautiful two year old grabbed my hand and had me sit on the recliner with her and show me her favorite TV Show “Blue’s Clues” which I had never seen up til then, Stella at our feet, and baby Maggie out back with her 10 siblings. Her mom (my close friend) was trying to be “closer” than friends at that time, and I wonder how the fact I rejected her (cuz she had a kid) played into my decision to NOT reject my current babys’ mama.

That sweet 2 year old is currently a jaded teen considering that same college, Stella and Maggie have moved on from this plane of existence, and me and V have been in and out of (separate) rocky relationships… I realize I have only seen her two times in the past decade, and both times she just happened to be visiting the West Coast when I was…hard to think it was coincidence. …(who am I to tell fate how it’s supposed to go?)

That whole collective ego thing, confronting itself, in all it's little reflected 'individualized' bits. Makes for a tricky bit of mass self-confrontation. Slow going is the minimum to expect, with all the potential error paths being played out.

This could only happen when the collective communication system comes into existence, like we have right now.

But...thought forms we devised and lost control over, and collective ego...those sound like two different things.

Intersting movie but a little bit "cold", although has many visual-thoughs. Rise the level, so it's god (instead of the action -commercial-)

Luc Besson (the director) is an excellent "chef". I like his movies. Always leave a mark of their influences. I felt during the movie: "Ghost in the Shell", Kubrick, Tarantino ( a chef who is able to make a dish with all the ingredients and flavors of the world but anyone on the planet will recognice their origin), Takeshi Kitano, Jodorowsky ...

When someone like Dan Rather goes on CNN to make the following statement, he's definitely putting his life at risk...

Dan Rather Gives Pro-War Pundits A Reality Check

Dan Rather issued a stern warning on Sunday to pundits who have beating the drums for war lately: if you aren't willing to send your kid to war, just stop talking.

Rather appeared on CNN's "Reliable Sources," and told host Brian Stelter that it "unsettles" him to hear the growing calls for U.S. intervention around the world. When asked whether the calls for war were getting stronger, he said that they have been more "accentuated" recently, and that he was compelled to speak out as a "citizen."

"My first question to anyone who is on television saying, "We have to get tough, we need to put boots on the ground and we need to go to war in one of these places" is, I will hear you out if you tell me you are prepared to send your son, your daughter, your grandson, your granddaughter to that war of which you are beating the drums," Rather continued. "If you aren't, I have no patience with you, and don't even talk to me."

Unfortunately for Rather, the discussion on the Sunday morning political shows was probably not what he wanted to hear. They were dominated by guests warning that the Islamic State could launch an attack on the United States, and urging the White House to escalate its offensive beyond airstrikes.

when one works next to the suffering crowd, shoulder to shoulder, and shows some understanding for their plight,
for them that is the best therapy.
And in our poverty-stricken valley in Costa Rica the people are just not used to being shown kindness,
so when they get it their tears start to flow and they grab you and cling like Koala bears.

If I were ever to now start a factory there, these people would offer to work for less than minimum wage which is $2.50 an hour,
just to get the love and understanding and occasional hand-outs.
This is what it has come to.
Stories about the upcoming Costa Rica economy are not to be trusted...
one just needs to look at the rural areas.
Food and gas prices have been rising faster than coffee pickers' wages.

It means that the monetary rollercoaster has come to an end. Time to get off.

When inflation got out of hand, you spent your wheelbarrowloads of Deutschmarks as quickly as possible before the price went up (every day). When deflation gets out of hand, you hold onto your dwindling cash for as long as possible on the basis that the price will come down. But no one is selling any more unless they really have to. And no one is making things, because they either won’t sell or they may sell at cost price or below, so what’s the point?

There is no savior to come, no rescue from the heavens, no outside authority that will liberate our human souls, whether that be through the classical religions, contemporary new age ephemeral distractions, or through today's ever so much more sophisticated, subtle and insidious methods of intellectual distractions as we have witnessed in recent years. We must face ourselves to our root and our core until we are cleansed through such self-knowledge and through self-forgiveness, when, knowing ourselves to be fully empowered, co-creative beings in union with our own spark of Divinity, we reclaim our sovereign authority, shed the skin of the artificially overlaid illusion of our supposed state of separation and fragmentation, and walk fully embodied once again upon this sweet Earth. When such a state is achieved we shall one by one proceed forward to set this Earth free, and once She and We are free, our inheritance shall be the Stars! Self-knowledge is vital in this regard, self-forgiveness indispensable.

Here, listening to Edith Piaf. Had to turn the ac on. It's still hot. Villagers, please send some rain up and down Cali.



Still no rain in California? We know a little about the healing process involved in rainmaking. Here is an earlier post of mine:

The art historian Aby Warburg studied the Hopi Indians’ rainmaking ceremony, which involves large numbers of snakes.


Here the dancers and the live animal form a magical unity, and the surprising thing is that the Indians have found in these dance ceremonies a way of handling the most dangerous of all animals, the rattlesnake, so that it can be tamed without violence, so that the creature will participate willingly—or at least without making use of its aggressive abilities, unless provoked—in ceremonies lasting for days. This would surely lead to catastrophe in the hands of Europeans

Commenting on a drawing made for him by one of the Hopi, he says:


The 4 rings signify that whoever approaches the serpent and does not tell the truth, drops dead before one can count to 4

This would tend to confirm the common sense idea that a preacher who is killed by the snake that he claims is harmless was preaching BS, which is first and foremost fatal to that person. But why anyone would play around with poisonous snakes in the first place? Here is his [Warburg’s] explanation:


For the snake is not only, as Cushing’s Indians would say, the fatal bite in readiness or fulfilment, destroying without mercy; the snake also reveals by its own ability to cast off its slough, slipping, as it were, out of its own mortal remains, how a body can leave its skin and yet continue to live. It can slither into the earth and re-emerge. The return from within the earth, from where the dead rest, along with the capacity for bodily renewal, makes the snake the most natural symbol of immortality and of rebirth from sickness and mortal anguish.

26911
26913 26912

In order to make rain, in California or wherever, we need to learn to tame without violence as an alternative to the prevalent ‘kill-or-be-killed’ mentality. ‘The poisonous reptile’, wrote Aby Warburg, ‘symbolizes the inner and outer demoniac forces that humanity must overcome. […] The American of today is no longer afraid of the rattlesnake. He kills it; in any case, he does not worship it. It now faces extermination’. Warburg saw himself as a kind of lightning rod, not least within his own banker family, and would therefore naturally be drawn to the water-serpent symbolism.

[eaglespirit]

Get Ready...There is about to be so many magical things happening in front of us that it will even be a bit much for us to handle, the ones that know and feel and have been shown of its coming : )
...

And that Snake thing...a very powerful higher thing...
The first totem pole I carved in Peru...which was created as I carved...it was shown to me what the hump in front of me on the log had to become for a 4 to 5 foot black snake slithered by right in front of me( to my utter dis-belief) while I was wondering what to do with it, well, I knew what to do with it and that beautiful creature went on its way : )

Belgian news yesterday: prices are no longer increasing and the European Central Bank declares this trend a worrisome situation for when prices drop people delay bigger purchases and that in turn negatively affects the economy which in turn affects the consumer back again...

Whatever that means.

Prices are no longer increasing because people have no money to purchases even small ticket items. If people do not use their credit cards, the banksters appetites for power that feeds off others’ energy means they have to figure out another way. It’s crunch time for the greedy ones. Greater numbers are awakening to their diabolical control.

Folks struggle to pay the bare necessities like food, water, heat, electricity and shelter. Also, many people spend money when they are depressed or to make themselves feel whole. Their focus is on the external. They haven't learned the real juice is within. When the collective reaches a point that not even the small things lift them momentarily, it demonstrates where we are emotionally and spiritually.

Things cannot stay the same for long. Change will break us out of our slumber. Transition is upon us. Some of us gots our sleeves rolled up and warm blankets at the ready.

I always thought it was funny how often my are typos are the leaving out of the verb TO BE…besides being the most common device for English communication, I like to think it is because in my mind it is there, doing what it does, even though I forgot to type it.

Curiously, I noticed this when I realized I left “existing” multiple times, and also the word “actual” once in a post. I can’t decide if I’m subconsciously questing my reality, or attempting to project that constant compulsion I have on to the reader.

Most likely it’s just irresponsibility (carelessness) though, if I know myself…

I always thought it was funny how often my are typos are the leaving out of the verb TO BE…besides being the most common device for English communication, I like to think it is because in my mind it is there, doing what it does, even though I forgot to type it.

And thinking of it, you just added an extra are :) People often forget to write down what they are trying to say, or write something rather different.

Two interesting parallel non-stories in today’s Guardian. First a lizard-lesbian kiss in Doctor Who will not be investigated. And second, ‘UK terror threat raised from substantial to severe - New level of threat, related to developments in Syria and Iraq, means attack is highly likely though not necessarily imminent’. In other words, an attack is more likely because we have upped the level. Sloppy journalese is no excuse. This makes the reverse of sense, and at best circular logic if you are not too fussy. You understand why those nasty conspiracy theorists will imagine that they upped the level because an attack is in the pipeline and nothing is being done to stop it. This non-story might just become a story, but it won’t be news.

In English writing I forget a lot, lots, and now in French I cannot make proper "conjugaisons" anymore, too used to English. So i do not write either language right lol - et non Araucaria, ce n'est pas parce que je suis québécoise, mon français était passablement bon autrefois, c'est la contamination de l'anglais ou bien la sénélité!!

About rattlesnakes ... when we were kids, you could buy the rattlers in the dime store. Little wonder they face extermination. As people continue to build on the countryside, they have to move further away to stay away from people. I can tell you from my experience they don't want to hurt people; it's a protective instinct.

I like to walk at twilight, and have a long dirt/gravel driveway. Only once have I encountered a snake on the long dark-ish walk down the driveway. Something felt wrong as I was about to step close to it, and I went to the side of it. It didn't move as I passed by. It surprised me that I was calm, because I've been afraid of snakes most of my life. My mom would take the hoe and chop their heads off.

Today I got my first pay check since returning to work. They gave me a raise! No one told me, but the communication here isn't stellar. Looking back over the last 9 years I've worked here, I see it as a situation I needed in order to get some vital growth. One more year here and I'll get a pension ... unless we all explode into a brighter world, as Eaglespirit is showing us.

Skyflower, about work ... I hope it's just a phase passing by and things will improve in your workplace. I feel quite differently about work now -- the stress is gone, I do what I can and so far it's working fine. Life is too short ... at any age. Sending you wishes of peace and strength.

Regret, Sorrow, Anxiety. Three emotions we all feel that seem somewhat interconnected. It can be difficult to reconcile these feeling, but they are all elements that weave into our individual spiritual journeys. Regret, Sorrow, and Anxiety have been deeply affecting me for the past year, and I cannot help but think of a missed opportunity that would have led me down a safer, more certain road. Did these emotions trump logic and a grounded disposition? Perhaps. But it's difficult to tell how the decision will affect me years down the road.

I received my electric bill a couple of days ago. I expected it to be a lot less because it’s been a relatively cool summer. I’ve hardly used my air conditioner. But it was higher. It doubled: 7 kWh, Aug. 2013 to 14kWh, Aug. 2014.

The only difference was that my faucet began to drip hot water. I figured I’d show it to my landlady when she came to take out my air conditioner. In the meantime, I tried to turn off the faucet under the sink, but it hardly budged. I live in an old victorian home, so I figured it was better to leave it alone.

Yesterday, I made a quick video to show her and she called the plumber. He was busy, so as a stop gap he had my landlady turn off the faucet under the sink. This morning when I came back from my walk, it was fix. I called Lori to thank her, but she said he hadn’t come. And he didn’t know which apartment. I told her not only is there no drip, but the faucet that I turned off under the sink last evening was open.

She said you must have an angel. I told her I have lots. She’s still going to have the plumber check it. I’m surprised I’m not as excited as I’d think I would be. Lots of cool things happen, but this one falls under a different category. I guess it’s because I’m still in analyze mode.

Rattlers are not the most aggressive, water moccasins, however, will chase you! We saved the buttons from the rattler we had earlier in the summer, and cured the skin. Since squaring off with the rattler, Alvin's (the big orange bob tail kitty) swagger has noticeably increased, in spite of having "his" snake taken away, unfairly (he thinks). Alvin is a funny cat who only knows how to play rough even though he is the most friendly to the boys, and he has many spots but very few stripes. Methinks his grand daddy (or mama) was a real bobcat.

Regret, sorrow, and anxiety do not weave into the spiritual journey, rather they are impediments to it. Have you read this book (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.adyashanti.org%2Flibrary%2FThe_Way_of_Liberation_Ebook.pdf&ei=7rkAVPiLFsfzgwTsvYC4BQ&usg=AFQjCNF91mX9hzAcFfOLW9HioTIL_colxA&bvm=bv.74115972,d.eXY&cad=rja)? For some reason, I feel compelled to point it out to you at this moment.


EDIT

Impediment is not the right word. Such things are what we use to strengthen our will and sharpen our spirit, but such should not be confused with what is done with the impetus gained in dealing with and perhaps overcoming such imbalances.

God Bless The Fae!

Absolutely, God Bless The Fae. Though, I never considered them in my place.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago on Agape's thread:

Back about 15 years, I’d feel a loving presence. Some physical indicators were my skin tingled, I felt warmth radiate on one side, or a subtle touch on my shoulders. Often, I get sensation in the belly like when your high on a swing and are about to come down. Or other times, I’d get a sensation in the dan tian which is just below the belly button. I always returned a ‘hello and thanks’ message.

This one time while working on a display in my apartment, a suggestion flashed in my mind to snap photos. So each time I got the dan tian sensation, I snapped away. Then I downloaded them and saw light. The rational part of me, decided to close off all the light in my apartment and snap again. I got the same results, a large bright light.

I appreciated the confirmation, but I didn’t need it because there had been an uptick in phenomena since 1994.

Several days later I called my sister and was going to send the photos. But they were no longer on my computer or in my camera nor on DVD. (I’m OCD about back-ups with my projects.)

I’ve received critical and timely demonstrations of “you are not alone” messages. I appreciate the need for concrete proof, but often the messages are designed only for a present moment. An awareness helps merge with the event.

Even though at one level, it’s a normal part of life, I’m still filled with gratitude and joy from each new occurrence.

You're gnonna love this one, Villagers : )

My Daughter has had and has helped with numerous yard sales in the last couple of years. She has had enough and is giving it all that is stored in the garage away with "free" signs out in front of the house. Good stuff too, pull out bed couch and bed sets and china that is nice and so on and so on...She's kinda on a 'pay it forward' surge!

When I got to the house I started helping her out and then was out front organizing things a bit for awhile.

My young grandson, Ollie, yells out from the front step, "Hey Grandpa, why are you being a free thing?"
I about fell over into the road cracking up...and then said "Because it.s my destiny, Ollie, destiny!"

Such wisdom in these Kiddos...HeHeHeHe..it is all in them already, yup, it is : )

Every place has them, their nature depends of the humans inhabiting the place. Yours being helpful says a lot about you. Around my place, they alternate between helpful and mischievous, which is also appropriate, however I will say with a little coaxing even the squirrelly ones will come around and help out, too. House spirits usually start off as nature spirits, old enough to precede the structures they come to inhabit, so with a little help yours could become a lot more helpful if the house is a relatively old one. If you want to try, try leaving them gifts of sweets, the good stuff you would rather ingest yourself and will part with only reluctantly (they know the difference!) and leave it on a white plate, and maybe even a note expressing gratitude for the faucet (or whatever they have helped with recently). Such action will impart to them the "energy" they need to interact with our local physical reality, in part because of the gift and in part simply because of the acknowledgement. Speaking to them out loud is also something they seem to especially enjoy. Also, with the sweets you could leave a small glass of water, as plain and clear a glass as you have.

Dan33, I rarely get a chance to watch a movie. Someday I'll have to catch up with the classics and blockbusters so I'll know what you all are conversing about!

I do like to listen to music.

M&M's for the my Friends.... and the chocolate fish from Ben&Jerry's "Phish Food".

Several years back, the kids and adults went for an early evening walk. I caught my nephew who was six or seven give a wave towards a row of forsythia bushes. His face said it all. He checked to see if anyone saw what he saw. I leaned over and whispered, “You see them, too?” He shook his head and grinned.

Marianne congrats on your raise. It says a lot about how everyone feels about you as a person and how you contribute to the whole.

I love this stuff Ulli...thanks again for that link...more and more of us are 'getting it' : )
If You do a re-read some time Villagers, that belly-button light thing talked about really makes sense to me and hits home and I feel that when I went to that Healer in 2007 and received a surge of energy right in that spot it was a kind of an upgrader and preparer for things to come for me...we all can find this easily now...all that do the focused work : )

...
All of your past and future lives are happening right now, right here; and they are all interacting on each other. The theory of probable realities says that everything that could possibly be does in fact exist somewhere out there (in a place called the “Akashic Records”); our socialized experience of the world grabs some of these records (thought forms) and arranges them in a linear order and calls that “reality.” What we do with Creative Visualization is that we reach out to the particular record which we desire and insert it into the sequence. All this is a matter of speaking, of course; there’s no point in trying to make sense out of it all because it doesn’t make sense – but it can be used and acted upon with assurance.

‘Letting things happen rather than making things happen’ doesn’t mean we go into a stupor and just ‘let it all rest in the hands of the Lord.’ That is another thought form of irresponsibility – ‘Let God do it if He so desires.’ We have to cooperate creatively with the Spirit: not go passive, but not push push push either. This means acting when it’s time to act, when prompted by the Spirit, and refraining from action prior to that time. It means holding back and waiting patiently until the moment has enough power behind it to carry our desires forward.

If instead we wait patiently, when the time is ripe, when we least expect it, the Spirit will suddenly pop what we want up right before our eyes; and then (and only then) we make a big swoop and grab it.”

Creative Visualization is a technique – rather simple, actually – for choosing which probable reality – which future – we wish to wind up in.

Creative Visualization – i.e. casting spells, or prayer, or whatever you want to call it – is about making miracles happen.

You have to let it happen now; and let it happen by itself. You have to let go of control to make magic work (the exact opposite of what our social training has led us to believe).
