Just found this... it's horrible! Does anyone have more information?

Apparently, the new issue that today has offered is ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder). Here we go. I have modeled patience in my interactions with D (Little One). I noticed early on, though, that he is having trouble focusing. I mentioned this last week. Today at the parent teacher conference, the teacher also mentioned this. The teacher suggested D has ADD, and K should consider medicating him. It takes him longer to finish his work, sometimes he misses some of his recess to complete work. In addition, he is having trouble with her teaching methods in math. This much, I recognize. She is teaching "fact families" like algebra.

K is upset, I see it. She doesn't want him on medicine, but more than that doesn't want him to need any. I will now begin researching alternatives to stimulants.

Much Love,

I just wanted to share this with you guys !

Now that I know how it's done I will make a point of buying them next time I see them.

For all the years I have fought to eat them....
Of course when I see them I'll try to !!!
So clever ;)

Much Love,I had a parent teacher conference where the teacher told me (she DIAGNOSED MY KID!) that my daughter had ADD and needed to be medicated. I got the principal to sit in to the next discussion, where I explained that:

1.) this teacher had NO business diagnosing my kid
2.) I recommended she read Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic
3.) I diagnosed HER (style of teaching) and told her she was moving too slowly, had too little energy and enthusiasm, and was boring my child to death

The principal supported the teacher, in front of both of us, which made me even more pissed off. But, I told them in no uncertain terms that my daughter would NOT be receiving a medical evaluation to determine ADD, and even if she was, I would never let them medicate (zombify) my daughter to make their teaching job easier.

I never found out why, but the teacher either quit or was fired halfway through the school year. (She probably went to work for the IRS or became a prison guard or something.)

My daughter (7 years later) just got yet another merit roll or honor roll report card with 4 out of 5 grades being "A", participates on the high school soccer and dance teams, is involved in community service, has a boatload of friends literally from just about every "social group" (girls self-assemble into social groups - most stay pretty much within a very small circle of friends.) She continues to be "spirited", a firecracker, a lightning bolt, intelligent, witty, fun, loving and compassionate. Who would she be if I was a marshmallow parent and let them assess and (just about guaranteed, after the teacher's portrayal of ADD "symptoms") medicate her???

I encourage "K" to take a torch and a pitchfork to the next parent teacher meeting, and to have read the book Raising Your Spirited Child: A Guide for Parents Whose Child Is More Intense, Sensitive, Perceptive, Persistent, and Energetic. "Attention DEFICIT?!" Bah! The teacher should wear a scarlet letter/phrase that says "I AM A BORING TEACHER!"

True, having your children abused and not being sble to intervene is terrible.

Thank you for the recommendation, Dennis. I will get that book and do my best. This whole situation, of course, is a hot button for me. I know damned good and well this is the teacher. And the broken system. D does require a good bit of patience and plenty of reminders to stay on task. I haven't once had to raise my voice to accomplish this. Of course, I have never been accused of being a boring anything, either. The computer work he has is beneath him. Given a choice of what he wants to do in their stupid software, he chooses science every single time. The science, however, is for 6th-8th graders. I said screw it, and let him do that. So what, I had to read some of the information about wetland biomes. That's what keeps his interest. When I force him to do the first grade reading crap, he talks to me through the whole lesson. Because it is boring! And the teacher is an old curmudgeon, very impressed with herself at last year's reading test scores. Who gives a flying flip about reading test scores???? K was pretty irked at that also. Monday the students all get to be evaluated again against the state standards. Those who excel get to go to another teacher's room and do science stuff. Those who do not, stay behind and do more work. Oh, this burns me up. This is wrong on so many levels that steam starts to come out my ears. Punish him by keeping him in at recess, humiliate him by....well, nevermind. Teacher says his inability to focus is worse in the morning, but seems to be much better in the afternoon. ADD, my ass.

I have so many issues with the way things are being done that I would be tempted to do several things... if D were mine. But...sigh...he isn't. So the only thing I can do is try to influence K while I have her ear. And at the moment, I have both. I will do my best.

Trying to release the tension in my jaw and un-grit my teeth. Grrrrrr. Things are so incredibly messed up!

I was just reading the info on the documentary Paula shared. This part in particular:


Create the reality YOU WANT! WHAT DO YOU!!!! REALLY WANT?, make the transformation internally and shift into it because that reality/your dream already exists!!!!! shift into it! You can do it!

ALL THE INFO BELOW IS ALL CONNECTED TO "THE LAW OF VIBRATION/ATTR - ACTION" ACTION!!! Gotta Move ur ass lol and most importantly the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

I get really frustrated sometimes. Really? You know what I want? To not see what I see every day. Why do you suppose I find it difficult to believe that if I change my attitude, or my subconscious mind, or whatever, that my dream of things being RIGHT will actually be REALITY ... here and now?

My reality doesn't have as much to do with what I want as it has to do with what I want for everyone. Every child. Every mother. Every father. Every human being. And this totally sucks sometimes. Okay, I admit, I have no idea where I'm going or what I want for me. But I'm not so sure that if I did, it would help make things right.

How am I supposed to remember this is all an illusion? That I am not the person sitting here struggling with how this world works? That there is some higher purpose being served here? Getting that much distance, enough distance, may require something I am not capable of. It is so hard to not get upset at stuff like this.

Schools are institutions to keep kids incarcerated for 12 years. The idea is to get them 'ready' for the system and accept a lifetime of slavery. :p

...and D, imho 1inMany, happens to already understand with an 'intuitive knowing' that wetland biomes happen to be one of the most sacred places honored and used and connected to and with by Native Peoples as the generators/re-generators of flourishing Plant and Animal LIFE ...a natural sustenance ecosystem pertinent to LIFE all around and about the Tribal Community.

Read an article in The Financial Times this morning about a British 65-year old successful entrepreneur, who still can neither read nor write. At All. Too busy being creative and finding ways to earn money at an early age.



1in Many, I´m reading a brilliant book right now; The Highly Sensitive Child by Elaine N. Aron. Highly sensitive children are often misdiagnosed as ADD. Actually, they have no trouble focusing in a calm environment, in stuff they are interested in. But they are extremely perceptive, and therefor very easily distracted in a classroom.

The book holds lots of advice for parents and teachers.

What I have to tell is over a week old, but I can see it is more topical now than it would have been then :)


Yesterday morning, I dreamt I was driving round a large and very beautiful steep-sided mountain, mostly mineral or crystalline white, with patches of various pale ochre shades. I ‘heard’ that the rock was called ‘chloe’. As I went behind the mountain it faded into whiteness: still there but hidden in some kind of vaporous medium. Then the scene changed, and my son as a small child came in to the room I was in to pick up some dossiers of his.

This is a rather unusual kind of dream for me – more focussed. Usually, I might drive a car in reverse and not be able to stop, as at the end of this morning’s dream, with a couple of women in tow, a young one and an older one. Maybe this was ‘Chloe’ suggesting to stop backing away and take a closer look for once. So here goes.

Checking the meaning of ‘chloe’, which I only knew as a name, but not of anyone I know, I discovered it means ‘the first green shoot of plants in spring’, as opposed to ‘karpoi’ (fruit) on the one hand; and ‘en tois spermasin’ (in the seeds) on the other.
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0057:entry=xlo/h

It also means grass and so must be related to the chlor- stem meaning green. Which is not only the wrong colour for my dream, it is vegetable instead of mineral. So what I get is a huge mountain that has been sown like a seed and this inanimate stone is just beginning to sprout like a fruit-bearing plant. My son is a doctor so any files would be medical files of people he is healing. If he comes to me as a child in the course of his physical healing work, this suggests that it involves a nurturing process like raising a child, but one that is all-encompassing, from mineral to vegetable, and on to animal and human, on a massive scale.

This dream was explained to my entire satisfaction in a rather unusual manner. The answer was in a book just six feet behind where I’m sitting now and always. Nothing unusual about that, you may think, but why I got up to read that particular novel which I hadn’t read since it first came out 32 years ago was quite numinous. Here’s the story.

I reported my dream on the 16th. On the 21st, I got an email from a writer friend announcing the death at the age of 91 of a writer friend of his, whom I only knew through reading a dozen of his books. This writer, Claude Ollier, was quite well-known in France 30-40 years ago or more, although not widely read. He was still publishing to the end, but in latter years people probably thought he was long dead; I confess he had rather dropped under my radar too. I only received his 2004 book Qatastrophe in the post yesterday. Since it had received not a single press review, my friend had written an article that he sent me because it had never been published either. It is the story of a traveler who wanders into the realm of the Dead. While he hadn’t been in the literary pages, this author did get an article in the death notices, Disparitions, along with a video of a TV interview he gave 32 years ago.
http://www.lemonde.fr/disparitions/article/2014/10/21/claude-ollier-1922-2014-ecrivain_4510083_3382.html
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpsX8JGK1c4&feature=player_embedded

Why I chose to reread that book while awaiting the other was because this voice from the realm of the Dead reminded me that it is about a little 5-year-old girl called Chloé and her 55-year-old writer father traveling around Malaysia. The tale is titled Mon Double à Malacca, and the double in question is of course the little girl. Half a lifetime ago, I was still childless, which is maybe partly why it was so unmeaningful to me back then; but perhaps it had to be, in order to become so meaningful right now.

So in terms of elastic time, what we have is a dream occurring (on the 15th) three days before this man died (on the 18th), and my discovering the connection three days afterwards (on the 21st), while the connection itself was established thirty odd years ago by what was now a dying old man almost thirty years into my future. The story itself is about how his daughter’s childish activities mirror the writer’s own. She plays with pebbles on the beach, carefully selecting them and arranging them in a circle (some kind of mandala?); she literally disappears into her foreign-language comic books; learning her letters from the newspaper, the first word she comes across is W-A-R; she imagines the same individuals following them around; she enjoys dragons chasing away monsters – real painted sculptures in the temples, or kites in the sky. She has King Kong her teddy-bear and buys a doll she calls Marilyn after someone she met; and she asks her Dad about the origins of mankind (in other words, learns how we got to beauty from the beast). As part of his equipment, the writer uses a cassette recorder, explaining to her the difference between ‘live’, when they talk into the machine, and ‘playback’, when the machine talks back to them. Near the end, they walk up a hill together, and as they reach the top, the narrator leaves his child for a moment among all the ‘spies’ (just ordinary, friendly people) and goes on to have a David Icke-type epiphany, which he describes in purely physical terms; he levitates slightly, feels something leave him; and then he experiences his happier, timeless self relieved of this weight, which has to be the fear of all the imaginary spies and monsters. In the final chapter, on the plane home, the narrator and his double enjoy a moment of intense togetherness, broken by Chloe asking, ‘Say Paul, are we live now?’

So that is what might be called ‘the Chloe effect’. I have my Chloe, Dennis has his Chloe, 1inMany has her Chloes; heretogrow has been a Chloe to her granny; we are all each others’ Chloes. The Chloe effect is the exact opposite, or antidote, to the Pauli effect I was talking about recently. Hence, in fictional terms, it is the exact opposite of a book I described a while back (don’t look if you’d rather not!): http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=833954&viewfull=1#post833954

So this is a perfect interpretation of my dream of the stony old mountain made of chloe sprouting like a fresh shoot: in a word, rejuvenation. My son gets a look-in because I have two kids, not just a girl. Interestingly – misreading Pris’s clock here :) – they were both born at 10:10 on a Monday morning! Actually, clock sellers set most of their clocks to that time – maybe it’s the flapping wing position suggesting how time flies? Or maybe it’s a V for Victory sign? Or maybe it is ‘the time of our life’, the time we are ‘live’ – truly alive.

If I were in any doubt, the book has three personal synchronicities for me. Near the end, we read of a storybook about a lady’s two cats who make daily visits to a friend called John. Recall, I was reading this at a time when we had two cats, one dead, one alive, both missing. Right at the beginning, the scene is a place with an araucaria. And right in the middle, we return to that same spot, where stand two 20-foot high statues of terrifying scaly figures – devils, genii, armed guardians of darkness, executioners, serving an unknown force – with two absolutely symmetrical dragons nearby. This ‘fine young araucaria’ turns out to be bang in the middle between the two statues…

So now I know where I stand :) Interestingly, the specimen I had in mind when choosing my handle in 2011 was one that Ollier definitely saw in its fine young state. Checking google earth just now, it seems to have grown too big for the triangle it once occupied near a gateway, opposite a grassy knoll; so, although it has since made way for a patch of grass (chloe) – leaving the gateway open – it is a real-life connection as well.

Claude Ollier was also a radio playwright, but I had never heard anything he wrote, mainly because back then it was not so easy to catch a given radio station at a specific time. I’ve been listening to one audio play a little before my time, aired in 1969, ‘L’Attentat en Direct’ (The Assassination Live), which ties in neatly with the end of Mon Double à Malacca.
http://www.franceculture.fr/emission-fictions-droles-de-drames-l-attentat-en-direct-2014-05-10

After getting a tip-off at a café, a dynamic new radio station has its reporter broadcasting live from an unlikely spot along the route taken by the presidential motorcade. From his perfect vantage point, he sees the assassin firing, then throwing his gun into the river. He dashes off in chase, and for a good while follows the guy away from the city centre, where he stops at a bar, watches a movie, goes to a church where he makes his confession (!), comes out and heads back into town. Meanwhile the cops have arrested a suspect and found a gun. What we hear is the radio controllers discussing the matter, with the reporter phoning in every now and again; we also hear a voiceover with commercials for this and that product. Eventually, the reporter’s man’s path crosses the official suspect’s, and he shoots him; so the assassin will get off with killing just the patsy instead of killing the president. The question then is, Who gave the reporter the precious tip-off? Answer, his boss. The entire thing was a publicity stunt to gain an audience for this new station, with more to follow. The last commercial is for a drink, ‘the killer’s drink’.

Pretty amazing, don’t you think – a commentary on the Kennedy assassination with the hindsight of Sandy Hook, yet dating from the sixties. It has the flavor of Orson Welles’ ‘War of the Worlds’ production, only instead of lending credence to the idea that a fiction is for real, it says that what we take for real is just a fiction. The reality is that you are listening to a radio play, and naturally the radio station is the sole perpetrator from start to finish. The fiction may be ‘live’, but the live is a fiction and the actual reality is in playback mode: it is all on edited tape. Similarly, the JFK assassination was little more than a televised show, hence we have witnesses numbering close to zero, and no perpetrators. One day, when we stop the playbacks, we go live with ‘something completely different’, which can be whatever we like, as Monty Python tried to show. Novelty as experiment, entertainment, research: it is all of these things and much more.

Hence, the Chloe effect is reality in live (here and now) mode. This reality includes our fictions, which are in playback mode, although it may not always seem that way. The acid test is pressing the stop button and finding the monsters disappear.

Dennis (and 1inMany), quick reaction (duty calls) about the diagnosis. I deplore that the teacher made a professional mistake by (perhaps) needlessly shocking parents with such sensitive information, which is still an opinion after all.

This must come from a qualified professional and, of course, after consent. But (why I'm stepping in) we must exert caution so as to not do off all pedagogical concerns as bogus. These disorders do exist and if the teacher has a long carreer she may have built up some knowledge in recognising patterns. The disagreement is also often about the treatment and less about the factuality of there being a problem. As a parent you know your child and if you're honest, you will acknowledge there to be a behavioural problem for yourself and especially when it is also (repeatedly) indicated by your environment.

As a parent too, you are free to decide how you are going to help your child. But help is your obligation.

In that respect, Dennis, you seem to have made a wise choice. I know of a different case where a toddler just sits silently in class all day not even moving if the teacher won't go and get this infant and encourage it to participate. Getting the child to talk in class is a big challenge. At home this child seems to be very different, joyful, very active and very talkative, etc. There is a problem when this parent keeps stating that their child is normal (at home) when the child does not appear ok/at ease/"normal" in class. Teachers also have nothing to go on for evaluation. So, then, if the parent obstructs further research into the well-being of this child at school it also means that the teachers may keep the child repeating years for lack of performance which in many cases is a sad misunderstanding.

This is why on the one hand, I do encourage parents to fend for their children, as did Dennis but on the other hand also be honest and don't let pride make your kids' school life miserable.

When it comes to pharmaceutical medication, as seems to be the most ready treatment for ADD/ADHD not only in the US but also in the NL for instance, one must pay twice as much attention. And if there are alternatives, and there are, then they get preference.

--- This is getting longer than I intended---

but I'm going to stop myself and talk about families and children in an update to this post later on (or a new post alltogether). :yo:

Update:

This was one of the morning coffee questions. Why families stopped having many children? First it was because of working moms and changing ideals. Well, this still is the official version, but sometimes I wonder if it's not changing.

Because the world is changing, our food is changing, the air, humanity is changing and that includes children changing. Today's children are quite a challenge, though separated just one generation from their parents - in their turn a change in the future compared to previous generations (and notice how every previous generation complains about the next young generation).

Cut-version: Could it be that (some) parents can't handle today's children as well as they would have been able - say - 19th C children, and therefor decide to just raise one or two?

An alternative theory I've seen pass by says that the earth is too messed up to bring in anymore children.

And some say it's not that deep and it's just people becoming lazy and selfish and wanting to realise their own dreams without deviations caused by children.

But that doesn't fit in with the mass awakening, or does it?


Well, ****. One more thing. I swear I'm logging off after this. I promise.

How am I supposed to remember this is all an illusion? That I am not the person sitting here struggling with how this world works? That there is some higher purpose being served here? Getting that much distance, enough distance, may require something I am not capable of. It is so hard to not get upset at stuff like this.

This reminds me of a girl I used to know. She would say - in her not too easy life - she felt like Pinocchio and she was very angry with the puppetmaker, but she never expressed the anger directly. She would just sit there at the table with a defeated look in her eyes and a helpless smile saying that.

As opposed to another very angry with God girl, she just screamed at the skies: you bastard! And I would probably wonder how that worked technically. This was usually after or before a difficult exam at high school. She'd look up and scream at a fixed point in a cloud. And I was always careful not to advise her to trust in good things that come from above.

Remember our local volcano, Turrialba? I posted pictures here before, from our trip up there, December 2012.
Well, he finally did more than a few snorts and burps.
The entire Central Valley of Costa Rica is being covered in ashes right now. We won't be affected here, because of the wind direction. We are too far south for that.
But evacuations are under way, on the slope.

1in Many, I´m reading a brilliant book right now; The Highly Sensitive Child by Elaine N. Aron. Describes my children, and myself, down to a tee. SO comforting to hear, we are not just weird...we are highly sensitive. Highly sensitive children are often misdiagnosed as ADD. Actually, they have no trouble focusing in a calm environment, in stuff they are interested in. But they are extremely perceptive, and therefor very easily distracted in a classroom.

Is anyone clear on whether or not ADD is just some kind of fabricated 'disease' or not -- just an excuse to medicate people?

Anyway, it's always great to have confirmation that our 'uniqueness' is purely that: unique. We're highly sensitive and extremely perceptive, therefore distracted easily.

I, too, have no trouble focusing in a calm environment on stuff I'm interested in. It's funny how often I've been given flack for that -- as though focusing on something I'm interested in is selfish/self-indulgent.

Society frowns on anything out of the norm. After all... we don't want all those creative, imaginative people sharing any of their kooky ideas and knowledge with others, do we? That might upset the applecart.

Why do you suppose artists have the toughest time? The system is setup to discourage the arts because creative people are great communicators and like to point out societal flaws.

I've never been diagnosed with this so-called ADD, thank goodness. But, I grew up prior to 'ADD' becoming so 'popular'.

These days, I'd probably be diagnosed as a rebellious troublemaker, and I'm sure they already have a drug to 'fix' that or a place to put me.

Hey! The prodigal son has come home. Let's celebrate, everyone!

I missed you too Ulli. Happy to be home again... I spend some time with ETs and went breakaway to Mars (boring place..). I took a stargate into a parallel timeline (or 2..) and had dinner with the Greys, but then I discovered that they consider us flies on the wall, so I left to meet my friends again in the village. Flies on the wall..? Consider that for a second.. Who do they think they are, these parvenu's?

A current spiritual teacher, Gangaji http://www.gangaji.org. tells of asking her teacher about illusion. He told her that the original Sanskrit word meant “not lasting forever” but had been translated as illusitory. This can put a whole new take on “Illusion”. Good to think about, anyway.

[Wind]

Welcome back, skippy! :)

[1inMany]

Wow, two people this week returned to the village. It's homecoming :) Hiya skippy.

Went to Half Price Books today and bought that book, Dennis. Skimming it, I have to say it is the perfect book for K. Perfect!

Thanks, Swan, I had totally forgotten about Elaine N. Aron...she did extensive writing and research on HSP's (Highly Sensitive Person), and introduced me to my own normalcy a while back. Hers, plus a lady who wrote a psychic self defense program for empaths. They both helped me understand a lot about myself. Anyway, I think I would be interested in Aron's book, though it might be too out of the mainstream for K.

Great question, Pris, I doubt there is agreement on the ADD issue. I did one of my post-grad internships in an elementary school counselor's office. I remember vividly a little boy in the fourth grade that I was asked to work with. He had been diagnosed with ADHD but his parents were choosing to provide no treatment, therapy or meds either one. He was at the far end of the scale, and it was as textbook as I have ever seen. The problem was not only that he couldn't sit still, and the problem was not only that he couldn't focus. Those were obvious. He spent a lot of time jumping off his school desk in the middle of class, or camped under his desk (or someone else's). He would just as soon spit at the teacher as listen. The frustration and explosions and misbehavior common in a child with these underlying issues were concerning. He had clearly given up on trying to function.

I was asked to work with him. And I reached inside this child. He was a scared little boy, and he was not "bad" at all. He wanted to do his work, he wanted to be a normal student like all the others and do what was asked of him. But his brain did not function like all the other children he was compared to.

I was called to the classroom frequently. Many times, I would take him to the school library and sit with him, one on one. We would get his work done. He was very smart and capable. It took constant attention on my part, constant reminders, constant positive reinforcement. There is no way he could do the same thing in a classroom. The school counselor that I worked with was one of those Angels here, so compassionate and caring. And her concerns were valid, that if this boy did not get on some type of medication he was destined for failure. I concurred 100%. He was looking at failing the fourth grade. I adored him. (Of course, and a chuckle at myself.)

But do you know why I concurred? Because it is not possible for one on one education. It isn't. It could be. And it should be. But it isn't possible, today. Right now.

I doubt D has ADD, if there is such a thing. He sits for 30 minutes straight and reads to us at night. Sure, he wants to explore the illustrations and the story. There is nothing wrong with that. I sat with him yesterday and did 100 addition problems. Yes, 100. That's ridiculous. He is above grade level in every subject, on every evaluation he has been given. But still he is made to feel he isn't doing well. While I can tell you (whoever, haha) I have the utmost respect and admiration for some teachers, there are others I would just as soon find a profession more suited to them. Like Dennis said, maybe prison guards. Or since they are so partial to these test scores, maybe they could be bean counters. Anything that doesn't involve molding a child.

Thank you all for letting me have my moment last night. It's not that big of a deal. Yes, these issues are near and dear to me. But then I remember things about who I really am, who D really is, why we are here, what I know I am capable of and that there is likely a whole lot more I don't realize yet. And I like the definition of illusion, fourty-two. I really like it :)

Eaglespirit...I don't know about all that...about me being a part of rebuilding things in a more healthy way, after they fall apart. You know darned well I doubt that, hahaha. But I offer myself up every day for the Will and Work of Universe. Never say never, I suppose.

I almost forgot. araucaria, what a skill you have, being able to study on something and find such meaning. Holy cow. Yes, I suppose we all have our Chloe. Or more than one. Likely more than one. And the answer to the question of are we live...well that's just not so simple as it seems, now is it? Point isn't lost on me, for sure. Really enjoyed what you shared.

You would not imagine what Mini Flash came through when I adjusted a few thigs:

1. Her diet: she had leaky guts most probably linked to gluten alkergies (as it showed up in blood tests ) So off gluten she went.

2. I supplemented with vitamins minerals and micro nutrients which she had miss for a while because of leaky guts

3. I helped redo her guts flora with a mix of guts bacterias - probiotics etc. This is not to my taste yet , not over yet

4. She finally got some hyperbaric trestment

5. As stable emotional environment i could provide

6. Help to sleep at times. Being dysphasic , she was really exhausted after a day in school and hourssssd of homework to keep up or recuperate

7. Keeping her away from dark beings as much as possible even if at the time i did not understood why or how i was doing it. Intuitively.

AND OFF RITALIN SHE WENT. Not to ever tae it again

She thanks me at least once a week. I must say she was an angel of cooperation - not as much as a teenager. Lollllll

A lot of healing energies right now.

PmT4KSPcFho

his batteries ran out the last of the forecast

here's the rest of it with mantra.

It's not necessary to control,
For the outcome of my life,
Is the result not only of my doing,
But of feelings deep inside.

Oh Yes! As I was saying before I ran out of batteries, Mars in Capricorn coming up to Pluto is a time of great ambition, drive, and accomplishment. AND, the evolutionary process is furthered through integrating it's opposite polarity, that of Cancer, the watery, deep, inner feelings. If we can go in as far as we go out, we can stay in balance which is both healing and more fun.

The downside of these aspects is falling into becoming an obsessive compulsive obnoxious .......... pushing and shoving everyone around to get your way. The fear and insecurity that drives such behavior can have its roots in guilt, shame, and feelings of unworthiness.... "I have to push because Life doesn't want to give me anything (because I don't deserve it)... and can go further down to simply "I'm a bad person, its hopeless, who cares." What's more, these feelings can then be projected out on the world so we can think that everybody is no good and it is a dog-eat-dog world and the patriarchal programming will have succeeded in keeping everyone at odds with everyone else! Time to bust the programming and move into a more loving, united, community of co-workers instead of competitively feeling our feelings which connect us to Spirit and each other..... Injoy!

I thought back on the concerns you've posted over these 2-3 years. Either you've found solutions, or come to a place of balance within, and/or accepted the things you cannot change. All good stuff, 1.

At first glance, I thought the book you mentioned above was the one I order today on the advice of Limor called, “Practical Psychic Self Defense Handbook: A Survival Guide (http://www.amazon.com/dp/1571746390/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item),” by: Robert Bruce.

Was in hospital to have kidney stone surgery... yet again! Some may remember it was only about 3 yrs ago that I had the same... sigh.
All went well.. no glitches to speak of and I am back home a little sore and scattered from general anaesthetic (sp).
I have quite compromised lung function (won't go into that) so I get very nervous about 'going under' as I get older.

I had a few dear friends all offering to drive to hospital (50 miles away) which was very touching as I have no immediate family.
Then I had my Avalon angel Marianne, and the Avalon healing circle holding me in their arms... I can barely describe how blessed I felt to receive that!!!
I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out with gratitude :) and wonder at the magic of loving, human consciousness.

After posting, I was recalling the time I was working on psychic self defense and discovering my empathic side. This morning I took a stroll in the there and then, and found the information. There is a community for empaths, run by Elise Lebeau, PhD. It might be called the Empath Community. Anyway, I see that she now has the copyright on the empath survival program, whereas years ago when I found this the author (whose name I cannot remember) still "owned" it.

http://www.eliselebeau.com/empaths/empath-survival-program

Here is what is contained in this program, which is free:

Technique 1: Turning down the volume
Technique 2: Moving through crowds
Technique 3: Creating healthy boundaries with family and friends
Technique 4: Holding your emotional space in a romantic relationship
Technique 5: Grounding technique for empath Children
Technique 6: Claiming your emotional space at work
Technique 7: Feeling safe as an empath
Bonus!: Grounding Techniques for empaths

I thought I would share it for anyone interested since it is free. It has been a long time since I went through these, they have likely changed over time. And they are likely very basic. But I do recall they helped me tremendously at the time.

ulli, I send prayers for those affected by the volcano.

healing to you, markoid. I hear those are quite painful :(

oh, and also, thank you all for helping me process and get ideas. You're the best :)

A special thank you, violet. You have set into my lap exactly what I needed.

And I was always careful not to advise her to trust in good things that come from above.

Both of these girls sound like they were sitting in a place of helplessness. I know that place. There is an element of empowerment when one realizes one's thoughts have more influence on one's reality than is widely believed. At the same time, why shouldn't we look "up" at the sky (or the Divinity inside) and give thanks for the good things that come from above (God, Spirit, Universe)? For, surely, if good things exist, they have been offered by a Benevolence that is Intelligent. Where else would they come from?

I don't know, Paula, if I have reached an internal place of balance with things. The inner pushes and pushes, pulls and pulls, to go farther and farther. More, more! Undoubtedly I have reached a place, or places, I could have never dreamed of. Literally. I could not have imagined the magical, mystical places I have reached.

This morning, I am Here. And Now. Grateful for All I have been Gifted. And I am expressing this, thus so:

We Rejoice in the Love and the Light and the Unity of the One Infinite Creator. We are Grateful for (and I am filling in the blank here...) I am truly thankful for the Steadfastness of the Benevolence. If that makes sense. Hopefully anyone who reads this will not mistake this for a ooshy gooshy shallow and imbalanced love and light message...

Much Love,

You are shining a great light, One.
If consciousness manifests its focus as reality then it's only logical that those who have figured this out should dig deep inside themselves and come up with all the virtues they can muster.
Because the alternative is just too unthinkable.
The dark agenda beings are working overtime to get people to focus on their differences, their fragmentations, their survival instinct, their fears, the object of their fears, illness, scarcity.

When we do a shift in our focus to solutions, to abundance, to Love Love Love, appreciation, compassion, tenderness, forgiveness, humility, gratitude, understanding, valor, strength, and to knowing that the highest agenda (everlasting, all-knowing Source) will always use everything, including darkness, to manifest a more perfected creation, then we can discover that such consciousness is the actual tube through which these high values come streaming into this world.
I've been through hell recently, and there were quite a few terror moments as I "saw" in my inner world awful sights of suffering and dying animals, and nearly gave up the desire to live.
But it passed. Here I am, one week later, in a calm and peaceful place of recovery, hope, renewed energies, and ready to make necklaces again. Since my main agenda is still to fight poverty I'm now giving out more work to young women. Plus teaching how to make jewelry. Creating communities, sharing knowledge, empowering the weak and timid, while careful to not to create dependencies on me, help people to focus on God, while letting go of superstitions and false traditions, this is what I do, and I wish others would pick up that ball as well, in their own neighborhood.
It will be done.

Wow, Markoid, that is such a relief!! Look, how many of us are right now in healing and recovery mode.
Tell your body to stop fabricating stones. I bet there is some simple diet solution that we just haven't discovered yet.
Also sounds to me like you may have some Libra energies in your chart, like either you have planets in that sign itself, or a badly aspected Venus, as Venus is the ruler of Libra, or some malefic planets in the seventh house.

Once we find our weak body spots we are halfway there. Geminis must never smoke, never inhale the product of combustion, as their sign produces delicate lungs. Same with Aquarians and the blood vessels, although one must never tell them that, or they smoke even more, as they like to do stuff to spite others. Well, up to a point, then they pull themselves together.
Sorry, rambling here, while waiting for breakfast in bed......
Don't disappear again, Markoid. And keep well.

Talking about things that come back to Europe, making advancements in my Berber study: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1199377/.

Undoubtedly I have reached a place, or places, I could have never dreamed of. Literally. I could not have imagined the magical, mystical places I have reached.

When I “check in” and get the “Yup, life’s golden,” that’s balance enough for me. Otherwise, my mind goes all twirly and squirrely.

I’m balanced when I can let something “just be”. I’ve lightened up on that perfection meme of yesteryear. Damn, it was monstrous!

I still catch myself grabbing a mallet to bong out, “better, better, more, more, faster, faster”. Shaking my head and smiling now.


Yipes! It's almost 1:00 pm and I'm still in breakfast mode. I missed the sunny skies and now sky's filled with dark clouds. Hoodie sweatshirt and vest for my walk. Pigeons and seagulls waiting for what looks to be a late lunch.

For goodness, watch where you’re going! You are about to fall into an abyss.

"The bad news is that you will fall through thin air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is that there’s no ground ... A warrior is not like a samurai who is looking for a job. You are not trying to be hired by anybody, not even by yourself. The idea of a warrior is based on a sense of fundamental fearlessness. There is no reason why you should be a coward. It's as simple as that. You are not being a warrior because a state of war exists in your country. We are not trying to win against the egohood people. We are not trying to fight with them. You are being a warrior because you ARE a warrior. If someone asks you, "Are you twenty-one years old?" you say, "Yes, I am." They don't ask you WHY you are twenty-one years old or how you have done this. You would have no answer for that. You are just twenty-one. Warriorship is a basic sense of unshakeability. It's a sense of immovability and self-existing dignity rather than that you are trying to fight with something else."

We Rejoice in the Love and the Light and the Unity of the One Infinite Creator. We are Grateful for (and I am filling in the blank here...) I am truly thankful for the Steadfastness of the Benevolence. If that makes sense. Hopefully anyone who reads this will not mistake this for a ooshy gooshy shallow and imbalanced love and light message...

Much Love,

You are shining a great light, One.
If consciousness manifests its focus as reality then it's only logical that those who have figured this out should dig deep inside themselves and come up with all the virtues they can muster.
Because the alternative is just too unthinkable.
The dark agenda beings are working overtime to get people to focus on their differences, their fragmentations, their survival instinct, their fears, the object of their fears, illness, scarcity.

When we do a shift in our focus to solutions, to abundance, to Love Love Love, appreciation, compassion, tenderness, forgiveness, humility, gratitude, understanding, valor, strength, and to knowing that the highest agenda (everlasting, all-knowing Source) will always use everything, including darkness, to manifest a more perfected creation, then we can discover that such consciousness is the actual tube through which these high values come streaming into this world.
I've been through hell recently, and there were quite a few terror moments as I "saw" in my inner world awful sights of suffering and dying animals, and nearly gave up the desire to live.
But it passed. Here I am, one week later, in a calm and peaceful place of recovery, hope, renewed energies, and ready to make necklaces again. Since my main agenda is still to fight poverty I'm now giving out more work to young women. Plus teaching how to make jewelry. Creating communities, sharing knowledge, empowering the weak and timid, while careful to not to create dependencies on me, help people to focus on God, while letting go of superstitions and false traditions, this is what I do, and I wish others would pick up that ball as well, in their own neighborhood.
It will be done.

...and so it is

Altruistic Acceleration Creating OUR New World of LOVE!!!

...all else falls by the wayside and is flushed elsewhere
for lessons of lessons upon lessons!

Evey year, there is a gathering of luthiers in north central Minnesota, hosted by my incredible friends Grant and Christy. Handmade musical instruments are passed around, many songs are played, and a few beers disappear. Every year, someone (or two) new people show up and dazzle us all with their musicality. This past year, my buddy - and new Project Avalon member - Joe Sustaire (that I finally got to meet in person!) was one, and this young guy, Adam Bjoraker was another.

Enjoy!

Seems the word is out where I park my car when I walk. It’s been a couple days where the pigeons and gulls meet up with me as I finish off my walk. I’ve already passed out their lunch boxes on the other side. Now, they’re coming around for seconds.

Fortunately, I carry a back-up mason jar of bird seed. And the younger gulls don’t mind it. The old gulls grab up the crust and end slices of my Ezekiel sprouted bread. Truth be told, it’s too expensive to share the whole loaf. I can’t make myself feed them “batter whipped ‘Sunbeam’” bread. As it is they survive on McD’s fries and once in a while I find whole hot dogs and rotting hunks of raw hamburg in the parking lot. And then there’s the big hunks of Italian bread and day old rolls that only serves to encourage fights and competition. I’ve learned the art of ripping it apart with my sneakers.

With all the stuff that goes on in everyones’ lives, here I am posting about pigeons, gulls and one of the best parts of my day.

They see me coming and fly over head, we cross the street together. They caw-caw, and coo-coo to announce that Seed Lady’s here. I feel them in my auric field. It makes me giggle and duck a little. And I wonder if they see the field from afar because some chaperone me across the parking lot.

If Cesar Millan, the Dog Whisperer were around, he’d instruct that I’m the pack leader, and they get out of my way. You see, I’ve noticed that I moon walk (not the Michael Jackson one) the last 50’ or so to the grassy strip which is our family dinner table.

From start to finish, it’s not that long, but that joy is carried all the way home.

Wow, Markoid, that is such a relief!! Look, how many of us are right now in healing and recovery mode.
Tell your body to stop fabricating stones. I bet there is some simple diet solution that we just haven't discovered yet.
Also sounds to me like you may have some Libra energies in your chart, like either you have planets in that sign itself, or a badly aspected Venus, as Venus is the ruler of Libra, or some malefic planets in the seventh house.

Once we find our weak body spots we are halfway there. Geminis must never smoke, never inhale the product of combustion, as their sign produces delicate lungs. Same with Aquarians and the blood vessels, although one must never tell them that, or they smoke even more, as they like to do stuff to spite others. Well, up to a point, then they pull themselves together.
Sorry, rambling here, while waiting for breakfast in bed......
Don't disappear again, Markoid. And keep well.

Hi Ulli... I don't have a chart. I remember I do have something in libra, but don't remember what. I do know I am Taurus, Aries ascendent, Moon in Scorpio, Venus in Taurus, Mars retro in Scorpio.
Stopped smoking long ago but already had quite serious damage in my 20's from some bad industrial chems.
Hope breakfast in bed was yummy :)

[Stephanie]

A simple story, that touched my heart.

'A healed femur'

Someone asked the anthropologist Margaret Mead 'what is the first sign you look for, to tell us of an ancient civilization?'
The interviewer had in mind tools,a food or article of clothing. Ms. Mead surprised him by answering him 'a healed femur'.
'When someone breaks a femur, they can't survive to hunt, fish or escape enemies, unless they have help from someone else.
Thus a healed femur indicates that someone helped that person, rather then abandoning them and saving themselves'.


Thank you to each and everyone of you for being so lovely, in all your special ways.

I'm watching this video now, about natural mud housing. Once I know those techniques I might give it a try.
We have a ton of mud right now, from the latest landslides.

The reason I'm using block, cement and dry wall at the moment is because of the endless insect invasions here. If one has tiny nooks and crannies in the walls or ceilings, immediately ants will come and make nests there; then there are spiders, bats, lizards, all sorts of bugs. It's like I live on a portal where land life originated.
So that's not the way we want to live. We don't mind bugs, but they need to stay outside.

Turrialba volcano, as seen this morning, from our town. Less ashes, but still steadily active.

[Marianne]

Last night the temp dropped to 35, with a cold wind. It's a hot soup day.

For lunch I made mushroom soup and took some pictures if anyone wants to know how to make it. It's streaks better than store bought mushroom soup.

I sliced up a yellow onion into half moons. It could be chopped instead. And you can use a sweet onion like Vidalia or Walla Walla, leeks, or shallots. Sizzled in coconut oil.

Oyster mushrooms are shown on the cutting board - they have a lot of flavor. I added sh!take mushrooms, baby portabellas, and dried porcini mushrooms, 3 cups filtered water, and simmered until tender. I put in a big spoonful of 'Better than Bouillion' for flavor. You could use broth instead.

Then about a half cup of dry white wine and cook about 5 minutes for the alcohol to burn off. Then a quarter cup of heavy cream and heated just until hot. Fresh ground black pepper was all I added, but you could add curry spices, or herbs.

Served with buttered sprouted wheat toast (Ezekiel bread).

I had wondered what Jean would think of his marrying again, and I just got an answer.

Her song was 'Jean' from a movie called The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. It's an old movie and song - what are the chances of hearing it? Yup, I just heard it. Felt like Jean was sending me a message that all is well.

I’m getting ready to turn my clocks back an hour and it reminded me of earlier today. I see 12:34 almost twice a day on the same clock. I say that because none of my clocks are in-synch. Maybe tonight, I’ll make an effort to fix it.

Anyway, I'm rushing around with last minute stuff because I’m meeting up with a brother and sister. One clock had 12:34 while I change into my ‘going out clothes’. You know the ones you change in and out of, try several more outfits, and then put on the one you started with? Then the question is should I hang up all the stuff or wait until I get back home?

I've digressed...So it's one last stop to the bathroom and that clock reads 12:34.

I grab my GPS and beam-me up scotty outdated cell phone and jump into the car. The clock reads 12:34. And one more reading on my odometer was 123.4 miles since I filled it up.

So, in the span of 10-12 minutes there were four 12:34’s. If I plan it right, I could turn my clock back when I’m ready for bed, and wake up in an hour later to catch another 12:34.

After mentioning the insect situation around the here and now I had two rare encounters.
I was doing some clearing in my garden to take some over to the new construction garden, and was twice bitten by wasps.
Hurt like hell, but was instantly soothed by a piece of pawpaw peel. Amazing stuff... only had a slight swelling.

While I was sitting down after that shock my husband looked at the bucked with the plants I had planned to transplant and saw this mantis on it.
Never came across one before.
Husband told me that had that one bitten me I would have instantly run a fever over 40 C.

We both took pictures with our cellphones.

I've not been able to honesty assess it. I though I was too much in sequential time. Or insistent about order. Which sometimes I am with some things.

I had this mantis story up back a bit, but removed it because it didn't match the tone of the thread, or I was over posting. (even more than tonight)


My fearless friend, Brownie
http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Animals/Brownie_zpsbbcc5a85.GIF

When I wrote the other day about picking up my first praying mantis, I had a flash that there’d be another opportunity the next time I went out.

On my walk today, I picked up a big yin-yang feather and minutes later there’s UPS guy parked by one of his delivery stops. The relationship is one where we wave or say, “Hello, have a nice day,” for the last two years. Today, I passed along the feather and asked his name.

I’m about to run into Eric, UPS guy for the 3rd time, so I switched up my route. And that’s where I ran into the praying mantis. He was a bit hesitant, but figured I’d not let up until he stepped onto my hand.

Then I had another ‘knowing’ that there’d be another one when I got home and he’d be brown. This little guy was curious and walked right up the rail. I heard myself squeak an “Eek”. (Geez, not proud of that.)

Gonna go change my clocks...but first one last post. :wave:

If PRAYING MANTIS shows up, it means:

You could benefit from studying and practicing a martial-arts discipline such as Kung Fu, Chi Gong, or Tai Chi, which has a strong meditative and spiritual component.
Make prayer, meditation, or contemplation part of your daily regimen, even if only for a few minutes each day.
Listen to your instincts as to when to move forward and when to retreat.
Spend some time in the natural world, and practice being as still as you can for as long as you can, with nothing else to attend to except your breathing.
Consider redirecting your energy by withdrawing it “from whatever isn’t working in your life and focusing greater attention on what is working.


Call on PRAYING MANTIS when:

You feel like your energy is blocked or obstructed in some way, zapping your vitality.
You feel trapped by the clock and schedules and want to operate for a period without having to think of time.
You’re overwhelmed with the stimulation from your environment and want to have some peace and quiet.
You know you need to develop a practice of stillness of some sort, but you’re not sure how to go about it or know what the best way for you to do so is.


If PRAYING MANTIS is your POWER ANIMAL:

You’re centered and well balanced, and your movements are fluid and graceful.
You’re attuned to your instincts and trust them to guide you in making the right moves.
You’re very patient and perceptive and can maintain your focus for long periods of time.
Prayer and meditation are significant practices in your life.
You practice the art of stillness, and you’re so good at it that you’re able to quiet your outer mind and draw upon the internal and spiritual resources that become more available when this is done.

While I was sitting down after that shock my husband looked at the bucked with the plants I had planned to transplant and saw this mantis on it.
Never came across one before.
Husband told me that had that one bitten me I would have instantly run a fever over 40 C.

We both took pictures with our cellphones.

What kind of mantis is this? (Ask Luis, please)...do they routinely bite humans, or would that be an anomaly? The US-based species don't bite humans (or at least, I have never heard of it), and are beloved by gardeners because they are voracious carnivores with a taste for species gardeners consider pests. [Being a US mantis, it might drone bomb you if you had the audacity to put your house over an oil deposit, but it would not directly bite you.]

You got me curious, and I found a "unicorn mantis", but I don't think this is your new friend. http://www.whatsthatbug.com/2013/12/15/mantis-costa-rica/

I have realized I am a catalyst somehow, for people. The first time I went into the yoga studio, I had to fill out a release form (though I am assured no one has ever died from doing yoga haha). There were check boxes for "what brought you here?" A couple of the choices were pain relief and flexibility. Upon seeing none of the boxes checked, the owner started a conversation with me. I don't ever reveal my inner journey irl. But...I found myself talking about how I had reached a place in "previous lives" that I need to get back to, so I can progress from there. But that it would likely take me a while for my body to catch up. This lady was a light, I could feel it. And she was very interested in what I had to say (which was nothing, I thought). She wanted to know about reiki, and about ... just a lot of stuff. Anyway, a month later I found out that she had been in a slump before I came in that first time. And the day I came in, she went home and opened her cabinet of candles and incense and other assorted goodies and said to herself, "eight months is enough of this slump. It is time for me to get back to mySelf." And she catapulted forward.

I remember the first day I went into the herb shop. I think S was the first person outside my family that I voluntarily revealed my weirdness to. She is the first, and only, person I have given reiki attunements to. I have spent hours and hours in her shop, listening and talking about non-ordinary reality. I guess somehow she was catapulted forward also, now exploring a side of herself she had intentionally forgotten about and finding new paths she had never considered.

This happens over and over. It has happened with Mike, it happened with the mechanic in town, the nurse in the hospital when D was ill, with the manicurist when I was with K. And really, it is possible this has happened with some that I am not aware of. It isn't what I say, I don't think. I mean, certainly I do not walk into the grocery store intending to say anything about non-ordinary reality. Somehow, it is who I am. It's funny actually, that I am so private with my transformation ... yet ... I hear words come out of my mouth in apparent response to a concern or a question or a particular topic or even nothing at all.

I guess it takes time for me to see these patterns. All I can say is that I hope I'm doing everything right, everything in the way I'm supposed to. I don't see what I am doing, I have no idea what I am doing most of the time, and it is most certainly not a conscious thing. This gives me hope, though. Sometimes it boosts my confidence, and even my Trust in Universe. Maybe, a year from now, I will see that this year, past and/or present, I have been more productive in my inner work than I perceive I have. Because I will tell you, sometimes I feel like I am treading water. And only after some time passes do I see that I have made strides at all.

Last night, for example, Mike cornered me. You know how it is, I stood up to leave the room...inched toward the door...and yet he kept talking and talking and talking. So I gave up and sat back down. I figured he needed me to listen. I heard all about this "new" information he had found. Reptilian shape-shifting aliens wanting to eat humans. Mantis aliens and greys who use their minds to communicate (and possibly control others) and would like to breed with humans. Tall blonde aliens who are keeping an eye on things, not allowing humanity to obliterate itself, and keeping the two opposing "races" of aliens from causing a galactic war. These taller beings are interdimensional, and don't even need ships to get here. He tried to explain to me how they travel here, how they inhabit the same space as we do but have a higher vibration...

I found myself talking about the evolution of humanity, the way newer energy makes this possible...the way that spiritual evolution is now possible in a way it has never been before. Eeeeeeeegads. I guess I have learned a thing or two, all the while not realizing how much I have grown.

Thank you, Universe, for giving me a moment to see. A moment of encouragement. I will keep at it, no matter the resistance.

Much Love,

[donk]

I got excited for a minute…but then did a little homework, and found it was not uncommon for your eyes to change or lose color…especially if you have MS. The pic isn’t great, but my eyes used to be DARK brown, you can see traces around my pupil, and looking at me in real life (the pic doesn’t do much justice, you would now identify me as someone with “hazel” eyes.

...and yeah, my eyebrows are freakishly long, that hasn't changed :o

You may wish to look into iridology. I had a distant aunt who was a practitioner, and so I have known about using the iris for diagnosis.
But just now, googling "iridology" I found mostly negative comments about it.

This will be why the iris can be used for identification purposes - don't know if it is used outside of a Dan Brown novel though. Foot reflexology works the same way. You could probably be identified from the sole of your foot.

Donk, if you deeply massage a pressure point and it hurts, it may be an indication that the energy is not able to run freely. Massaging will assist in running your Chi and blood through your body.

I had the opportunity to learn Qiqong Massage with my Tai Chi Master, Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming. You really only need the book. You and Vanessa and work with each other.

“Qigong Massage: Fundamental Techniques for Health and Relaxation (http://www.amazon.com/Qigong-Massage-Fundamental-Techniques-Relaxation/dp/1594390487).”

Learn how Qigong and massage work together
Prevent illness by improving Qi and blood flow
Recover quickly from fatigue, aches, and soreness
Relieve stress and physical tension

I learned Shiatsu massage, too. There really the same. I think of it as intuitive touch.

Well Paula you mighta been the straw that broke the camel's back on my he quigong...too many have brought it to my awareness to continue to ignore it.

The eye thing just struck me as weird...my vision hasn't been affected yet (other than not being able to control one eyeball a year ago now). Before this weekend I thought of they didn't change when you were an infant, you were stuck with you had. I mean, don't they use eye color to identify people ;)

Cool Donk! I've attended several Qigong seminars. At first I thought this is too easy for it to be effective. But I know better now. Within minutes, you feel warmth, warm flow in your body and relaxation.

My students would ask if we could do relaxation (QiGong) before their test. We'd use it when they were wired or if they needed a pick-me-up.

This is Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, demonstrating QiGong. I just found these for you, but have not watch but a couple of minutes. It's the QiGong we did. I'm downloading them now.

Don't have much to say as I'm incredibly busy at the moment, with the construction back in full swing, jewelry is selling and they are asking for more, and house guests arriving on Saturday. Health is back to normal, or perhaps better than ever.

So I'll just share one of my favorite Baha'u'llah passages:

"Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbor, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face.
Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer of the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge.
Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech.

Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression.
Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts.
Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive.

Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring.
Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility."

This morning when we were having breakfast the youngest one wasn't paying attention and swept a full tea glass off the table. Early cleaning. My coffee went cold. Later today when the kids got back from school, I realised I lost luggage underway and I went back by bike trying to find it, but having no one to mind the kids, I had to take the poor things with me. During the trip one of them was having bike chain problems, making us stop every two roads. Well, we basically went all the way back to school which, by bike, at fast speed, is a 30 to 40 min. session (just going, return incl. = times two). Did not find luggage and so we returned starting back from school. On the way back, I notice someone had put my luggage by the side of the road. The same road we just passed by, all the way back to school..Uhh, Gawd, where were we looking anyway. Okay, there was a small wall but still...And, I'm very happy of course (despite the extra kms we added). The sun now started to set, so we put on our bike lights and - of course - mine was having battery problems...By now, I'm starting to get the feeling something isn't right here. So, then with my weakly shining bike light, I want to get home asap before I get fined for insufficient lighting (50 EUR). And home we go, it's getting darker. Kids start slowing down, because they're tired - which I fully understand - but still, it's getting cold, we didn't bring gloves, our hands are getting a little numb now. We must hurry. Then, I get into an argument with the older one because he's slowly cruising behind me with his bike trying to look cool, when I'm trying to get everyone home fast. At the last traffic lights I give my last lecture to him and he daringly says: It's green. Of course I wasn't looking at the lights because...:gaah: I was being angry, and trying to control my anger, and crossing the zebra, I'm distracted by something else. Is that a flat tyre? We have to walk home the last part. I'm tired and I left my bread to rise a second rise hours ago. When we (finally!) got home, the youngest one gets frantic and starts screaming and crying for nothing. He's tired too. I quickly turn on the oven, warm up bread and dinner. It's dark now. The kids must go to sleep.

Quick upstairs tidying when I smell something funny: Oh no, my bread...

Well, after one night's sleep I can now be happy and grateful for finding back my luggage and getting home safely. I now even remember yesterday's morning coffee question: Can objects and people precede themselves in a different form?

I have a feeling the answer is yes. I'll give some examples:

I was about to intentionally drop something when another (inanimate) object preceded and dropped right underneath it, unintentionally (from my part anyway).

At another occasion I was alone in a room listening to the radio. Very early on a weekend morning. I turn around because of a noise, I thought someone had come in, but it wasn't so. It was just an empty plastic bottle that had fallen. Right after that realisation, I felt inclined to keep looking at the doorpost and in less than a minute later, someone opened it.

96% moon illumination + 5th of the 11th month.
Intuition, caution and presence.



Woopee I have just got a bargain from Ebay, such a grown up toy I will be able to see the moon in relative detail- My Christmas present early-

Meade DS2000 series reflecting telescope DS2114S The best I can afford -I am fascinated by the cosmos I will have such fun with this.



How do these compare to Dobsons? Still saving.

Neat videos, Everyone.

I thought the sun light and sea mist changed were because of different camera times. (His clothes changed.) At one point towards the beginning it looked as thought the sun shone strongly, or his fire place was lit.

One thing that came to mind is it's a big enough place to have one room for his instrument. Or he lives a simple life that he doesn't need a whole lot of stuff. Boy, I could live in that room!

Hope today's less adventurous for you, Violet. Or if you like, at least until your flat is fixed. Warm homemade bread. My mouth is watering now. ;)

In response to EagleSpirit and Violet and the idea of objects and people preceding themselves, it is so wierd to see that as this is something I have been experiencing as well lately. Little things. Like the bottle you mentioned, Violet. Falling. A small thing that happens. Then something happens later that, if the perspective is laterally considered, is directly related to that earlier small thing. I've noticed it recently in relation to clairvoyance, and the realization that absolutely every thing that happens is connected to everything else. The trick is thinking holistically enough to find the connections.

Song Lyrics

Obama: "The chances of an Ebola outbreak here in the United States are extremely low."

We are Ebola
We demand your obedience
You must all bow down to Ebola

Obama promised it would never reach us here
And the CDC assured us we have nothing to fear
Because our hospitals and doctors
they're the best in the land
But as we've come to find
they had something else planned

They brought it over here
They spread a lot of fear
Terrorized us like a viral Ayatollah
They blocked the quarantines
Here comes a new vaccine
It turns out they were workin' for Ebola

CDC Thomas Frieden: "It's only spread by bodily fluids. It's not airborne..."

I didn't know they's gonna bring it to my town
Had no idea they's gonna spread it all around
In the hospitals and subways
and bowling alleys too
They all be tryin' they damnest
to spread that bug to you!

They brought it over here
They spread a lot of fear
Terrorized us like a viral Ayatollah
They blocked the quarantines
Here comes a new vaccine
It turns out they were workin' for Ebola

Workin' for Ebola
Collectin' more dat moolah
Moolah for Ebola, Ebola

And the CDC
And the NIH
And the FDA
And the White House too
And the CDC
And the NIH
And the FDA
They all work for Ebola too

Obama: "Our medical staff are trained, are ready and are able to deal with a possible case safely."

They were workin' for Ebola
Collectin' more dat moolah
Moolah for Ebola, Ebola
They were workin' for Ebola
Collectin' more dat moolah

This was written for the latest dinosaur thread before I noticed the thread was extinct :)

I am not suggesting for a minute that dinosaurs did not exist, but just think of this. I’ve mentioned this idea before.

The question is, Is a fossil is a sign, or is it the thing itself? Is it the map or the territory? And if the territory, what is the nature of the territory? If I see a road sign to somewhere, I can check its accuracy by heading off to that place, or not. If I saw that same road sign on a stage set, I would not apply that reasoning. The difference lies in the fact that a map is not the territory, but it can be a part of a territory, and it can also be a part of another territory; it can be both a sign and a thing in itself. As a petrified once-living organism, a dinosaur fossil is about as real as a stage prop, and as a sign pointing to the distant past, it is about as reliable as a signpost to Shangri-La.

The old Chinese proverb says, ‘When the finger points to the Moon, the fool looks at the finger’. Another kind of fool just looks at the Moon. The intelligent response I suggest is to look for the owner of the finger. Whose finger? leads to another question: Whose Moon?

Depending on who this dinosaur fossil belongs to, your narrative will change radically. If instead you take fossil seashells on a mountaintop, you can choose to take it as ‘real’, with all the catastrophic earth changes we are told would be required to get it there. You might more fancifully take them as the equivalent of litter on Everest, picnic leftovers deposited by sea-level tourists. But for dinosaur fossils there is no such alternative theory of this kind to monster animals. However, from the standpoint of a matrix designer, it would be much easier to plant fossils than to take several species through millions of years of evolution.

Monsters and catastrophes do exist, but they are also basic ingredients of nightmares. The issue is the chicken-and-egg situation of the fantasy and the reality. A fossil is a harmless bone with no surviving DNA and no particular relevance to our here and now. Unless, that is, you allow Jurassic Park-type geneticists to tinker with DNA to back-engineer a caricature of the real thing. In other words, is the killer monster a nightmarish memory from a past reality, or is it an evil dream to concoct a future reality?

Hence the question is not about deciding whether or not to believe in dinosaurs; it is about choosing in which direction we want to take this whole thing. In other words, it is about taking ownership, which is to say, These are my fossils, i.e. long dead bones that need to be buried. Dinosaurs did exist, but they don’t any more, and they won’t any more, because they became us.

[ulli]

This was written for the latest dinosaur thread before I noticed the thread was extinct :)

I am not suggesting for a minute that dinosaurs did not exist, but just think of this. I’ve mentioned this idea before.

The question is, Is a fossil is a sign, or is it the thing itself? Is it the map or the territory? And if the territory, what is the nature of the territory? If I see a road sign to somewhere, I can check its accuracy by heading off to that place, or not. If I saw that same road sign on a stage set, I would not apply that reasoning. The difference lies in the fact that a map is not the territory, but it can be a part of a territory, and it can also be a part of another territory; it can be both a sign and a thing in itself. As a petrified once-living organism, a dinosaur fossil is about as real as a stage prop, and as a sign pointing to the distant past, it is about as reliable as a signpost to Shangri-La.

The old Chinese proverb says, ‘When the finger points to the Moon, the fool looks at the finger’. Another kind of fool just looks at the Moon. The intelligent response I suggest is to look for the owner of the finger. Whose finger? leads to another question: Whose Moon?

Depending on who this dinosaur fossil belongs to, your narrative will change radically. If instead you take fossil seashells on a mountaintop, you can choose to take it as ‘real’, with all the catastrophic earth changes we are told would be required to get it there. You might more fancifully take them as the equivalent of litter on Everest, picnic leftovers deposited by sea-level tourists. But for dinosaur fossils there is no such alternative theory of this kind to monster animals. However, from the standpoint of a matrix designer, it would be much easier to plant fossils than to take several species through millions of years of evolution.

Monsters and catastrophes do exist, but they are also basic ingredients of nightmares. The issue is the chicken-and-egg situation of the fantasy and the reality. A fossil is a harmless bone with no surviving DNA and no particular relevance to our here and now. Unless, that is, you allow Jurassic Park-type geneticists to tinker with DNA to back-engineer a caricature of the real thing. In other words, is the killer monster a nightmarish memory from a past reality, or is it an evil dream to concoct a future reality?

Hence the question is not about deciding whether or not to believe in dinosaurs; it is about choosing in which direction we want to take this whole thing. In other words, it is about taking ownership, which is to say, These are my fossils, i.e. long dead bones that need to be buried. Dinosaurs did exist, but they don’t any more, and they won’t any more, because they became us.

Crucial question here. The answer is already out there:
implant these monster memes in the minds of every human 4 year old male.

So, here is the next question:
Whistleblowers testimony as a road sign which points us in the direction of complete and utter powerlessness.
If this is just another monster meme I say it's high time we create some memes of our own, and call them anti-memes.

[Calz]

and call them anti-memes. :humble:

This Morning's I Ching...
Making It PERFECTLY Clear!!! : ) : ) : )
Carry On Torch Bearers Light Dispersers !!!
......
The answer to your question, "It IS Here...WE ARE IT HAPPENING !?!" is:


59. Huan - Dispersion [Dissolution]

-----
----- above Sun The Gentle, Wind
-- --
-- --
----- below K'an The Abysmal, Water
-- --

The Judgement

Dispersion. Success.
The king approaches his temple.
It furthers one to cross the great water.
Perseverance furthers.

The Image

The wind drives over the water:
The image of Dispersion.
Thus the kings of old sacrificed to the Lord
And built temples.

Changing Lines

Changing yin at the bottom means:
He brings help with the strength of a horse.
Good fortune.

Changing yang in the second place means:
At the dissolution
He hurries to that which supports him.
Remorse disappears.

Changing yin in the third place means:
He dissolves his self. No remorse.

Changing yin in the fourth place means:
He dissolves his bond with his group.
Supreme good fortune.
Dispersion leads in turn to accumulation.
This is something that ordinary men do not think of.

Changing yang in the fifth place means:
His loud cries are as dissolving as sweat.
Dissolution. A king abides without blame.

Changing yang at the top means:
He dissolves his blood.
Departing, keeping at a distance, going out,
Is without blame.

[araucaria]

So, here is the next question:
Whistleblowers testimony as a road sign which points us in the direction of complete and utter powerlessness.
If this is just another monster meme I say it's high time we create some memes of our own, and call them anti-memes.
The whistleblower meme is based on games with an impartial referee or umpire – not really the case anyway. With all due respect to any individuals concerned, whistleblowers are actually players in the school playground/Lord of the Flies version of the game, who do not like what is being done to themselves and others and are powerless to stop it, because they are playing to a rulebook that has been torn up and thrown away. Instead of being or siding with the victims, they need to blow the final whistle and just walk away. ‘He dissolves his self. No remorse.’ There are other more enjoyable self-regulating pastimes where all this tiresome drama is unnecessary.

[Dennis Leahy]

... I say it's high time we create some memes of our own, and call them anti-memes.

Agreed. Wade Frazier and Ilie were pointing out how few big-screen movies have a utopian message, rather than a dystopian one. After a while, if all there is shown is a dystopian vision, won't most people believe (at least at the subconscious level) that the dystopian future is more plausible or likely or inevitable?

You are touching on one of my favourite subjects here, Dennis.
I like to tell everyone that their most utopian vision is welcome in my books, and that when we combine those visions it will turn the earth into a paradise.

I would never agree that reducing the population to 500,000,000 is the road to utopia.


About the role of movies...which use fear to capture people's minds.
While the mind needs duality, and even conflict in order to function, the emotions want security and happy endings, and so you captivate your audience.

So screenwriters have to keep that in mind, and directors operate by this duality formulas, like, at minute 34 we want every movie spectator to jump out out of their seats in terror and at minute 48 we give them some comic relief, and at the very last minute we have the antagonist come to a horrible end and the doomsday heroes become the new Adam and Eve, and create the babies for the new World.

I’m feeling numb, (no wait, a bit of a stomach ache coming on) but free from not standing up for what's important to me.

For the last fourteen years, I was the web manager for a school system. Last year, the system implemented the common core curriculum. I was instructed to post its propaganda. I believe some are waking up because the Board of Education is questioning why 40+ students have left the elementary system.

Last week was the last straw. I had to post an “Ebola Preparedness Update” from the Department of Public Health. To paraphrase one paragraph, “the risk of Ebola is low. Flu is the primary concern in fall, winter and spring because it can lead to severe illness and death.” Their solution? To “immunized everyone against the flu. They will redouble efforts to get people immunized”.

Yesterday, I let go of my comfortable financial cushion. This last action step cuts all ties to who I was. The unknown feels a bit drafty in the here and now.

You WILL get a reward, as the universe is conscious of those who stand up for what is right and true.
I've been in similar places several times in my life, and always found that doing the right thing opens new doors beyond my expectations.

If this reward is slow in coming, just let us know in the Village and we'll send out a reminder.

[Dennis Leahy]

Yes, respect to you, RunningDearPaula. I encourage you to write a letter to the school and school board letting them know specifically why you - in good conscience - could not post information you know to be false. There are a number of articles written by doctors and medical researchers that clearly state that flu vaccines don't work, because this year's flu is an evolved strain of last year's flu. You don't even need (in this case) to mention the thimersol (mercury) and other reasons to avoid vaccinations. You could include a link or two in your letter. You might reach one or two of them.

Today M went to the drug store to pick something up. She got behind an older gentleman who was there to pick up a prescription. He knew his insurance wouldn't cover it, but did not know it was over $400. It broke her heart. Hearing this made me feel sick, physically ill and very sad.

No idea who he was, but when she told me I got a visual of a man small in stature with buzzed looking white hair. I wondered for a moment, what type of blessing I could send him. Things are complicated these days.

Truth stood up to the desire for control and manipulation of a psychopathically-behaving human I had to deal with today.

Taking full responsibility for your own actions, while acting as mirror on his lead to problem resolution…the only help I needed was the support of knowing my friends my had back, it transmuted the energy I was engulfed whilst I did what I could to handle my biz-ness.

I really feel that truth = light = love, and that for whatever reason, it is emerging and manifesting more than ever, here & now…

i watch a lot of tv series. Movies too, but the shows out now are pretty intense. I tell others it is research but they do not believe me. It is. Most are not aware of the extent of collaboration between the PTB and the film industry even though the connection is relatively well documented. The agreement to release information in regards to the true state of affairs as a condition of meeting the universal constant of Truth being available for the Seekers also applies.

But you can't tell most folks all that. A movie has to have all the elements you mentioned, Ulli, to make it popular. These schemas being released now in regards to the Disutopian future are amazing. The show The Dome is a study in how a small, insulated society breaks down and builds back up based upon human nature, the good and the evil, divisions between the people. The show Falling Skies shows the irrascible nature of humans, preaches our ingenuity despite overwhelming technological superiority, the cannibalization of alien weaponry turned against them, violence at core with some partnerships of the type "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". The show Revolution shows a world without electricity, how people live, survival of the fittest, the strongest, the US broken down into Fiefdoms with the extra addition of an AI that has god-like powers. The Walking Dead refers to the living not the dead, as these people who were innocent in season one are now merciless killers who take some pleasure in their deeds, answering the question of what happens to good people when things go bad. The new show Gotham does the same, showing the creeping onset of corruption in response to living within a broken system, the necessity of embracing evil to combat evil-doers.

And that's just a few of the shows that are on TV. In ALL of these shows, the good guys, the ones we identify with, are sociopaths at least, some are psychopaths. They have codes, ie morals, and so because they fight for the perceptive good side they are to be seen as good people, no matter the horrors they engage in.

This is how they want us to be. Still programmed with basic social morality, but released to commit atrocities against each other when the need arises. When the alien invasion, the natural disaster, the plague, the economic collapse occur. These shows program to kill without compunction and in the protection of your people and your space.

Is this the only path? When and if these disasters occur, most people, after having lived vicariously through similar scenarios on their televisions, will already have these programmed responses internalized and they will be the default reaction. When and if the time comes.

Is there a critical mass of people that can overcome the programming? That might seek another pathway outside of this meme? Those infected with the anti-meme bug? Would a 100th Monkey effect become the goal, or is that what is occurring now, as those Awakened seek to combat the meta-narrative and the underlying violence that seeps throughout our society at every level and that can erupt with the slightest provocation, let alone some sort of world changing event?

If there are, they certainly aren't on TV or in the movies.

Ha, Rahkyt--synchronistic. I was thinking about how things JJ Abrahms is involved with seems to have test runs of props for the game “they” play…rewatching Fringe at the moment, and last night one of the seemingly necessary gory horrific traumatic scenes they include in every episode, he likens the bleeding from the eyes of a victim of “bioterrorism” (Fringe-style) to ebola.

Earlier (when I was immersed in the “white light being a trap” discussion), I was at an episode one night where the nazi-paperclip style scientist protagonist describes his psychopathic partner William Bell’s “soul magnet” technology to put souls of recently deceased into bodies…eerie.

And don’t get me started on Lost or Alias….the new Star Wars movie oughta be good

[Mark]

Fringe was a great series. Alternate timelines, worlds colliding. It was the continuation, it felt like, of the X-files. In fact, I think there was an episode where they actually mentioned the X-files. The older guy in Fringe is now in Sleepy Hollow, another show that I watch, about Ichabod Crane in the modern world, fighting off the Apocalypse. Surprisingly engaging with a lot of implications in regards to secret societies, the founding of America and the Masons that started the country as well as the folk and native magic that penetrates this landscape and its people indigenous and otherwise. :)

Oh the Nazi stuff is everywhere. People should be so used to it by now that it should be taken more as fact than fiction as theyve been pounding us over the head with it since Indiana Jones. Lost was a good series as well, living in a dreamworld indeed. Definite implications in regards to time and space, life and death.

[donk]

SPOILER ALERT YOU NEED TO WATCH LOST

I don’t believe Lost was meant to be about dreams (or Hell) I believe the events were supposed to have been actually real—and Jack lasted the longest on this plane of existence--the series was a statement on SOUL GROUPS, the ending was a meeting in an “in-between place” where the soul group was reunited, then we’re left with the thought that they were gonna figure out what to do next…

Watching Alias I couldn't help but think: How in the eff can we allow our lives to actually be like this? What exactly do these "agents" think they are doing? Can you imagine a life where you just go and steal information (and occult secrets and tech, and you're a "good guy"? What exactly is the purpose of these agencies within agencies--where is the individual that green light these projects? .....and then the sad realization that a majority are watching and not able to think. That the good guys are "fer us" and the bad guys are "agin us", and it's ok for a government or corporation to send spies wherever they want to do whatever they want, deceiving or killing whoever they need to to get the mission accomplished. Strange games we play, strange choices of "entertainment"

I can't recomend any of these series enough...I plan on re-watching Alias as soon as I'm done round two of Fringe...education indeed...

[Mark]

The entertainment seems to be closer to reality than the lived reality itself. Life in the Hologram ...:)

"Mr. Reaper Babylon the great
The mother of heartless is falling, prophecy must be fulfilled
The liquor fire is calling" ~ Outkast, "Gasoline Dreams"

Sober flow, but Outkast always comes hard. That is indeed one perception and experience of the American Dream. Mine is a just a bit different, given different life conditions. As is yours, even as they are all occurring within the same metanarrative and overriding paradigmatic structuring of institutions and cultural mores.

Co-creation is something else, right??? We are all making it, even as it looks so different from our sublimated perspectives, there is still commonality...

[donk]

Indeed, though I was thinking more about the hook:

We'll snap for your slice of life I'm tellin' ya why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be looking for somebody to hold
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll

Seems like deception plays a big role in our current co-creation, and nothing is that "clearer" to see than what we choose for entertainment...

[Mark]

Seems like deception plays a big role in our current co-creation, and nothing is that "clearer" to see than what we choose for entertainment...

We do indeed choose it. They go by ratings, right? So the preponderance of shows dealing with these issues do tell us something about ourselves. At the same time, they are telling us about what the Controllers wish to imprint upon the collective consciousness. Shows filled with violence, sex, disutopian themes, technology, magic.

Themes that are ubiquitous to the human experience and seem to always have been. Fear of the Now, fear of the future, fear of each other, fear of the Unknown. Is something different, or is this more of the same ol same ol? The same programming, updated to include the increasing availabliity of information and the growing realization that there is more to the world than is spoken of in our public philosophy...a paradigmatic shift is in occurance and perhaps the PTB are attempting to mediate it and shift it as they can toward a violent and mind-centered rather than pacifistic and heart-centered response...this dichotomous formulation of course being inadequate and conditional rather than universal in application...

[donk]

Ahhh, the age old question: does art imitate life, or do the controllers completely implant what they want us to think in art (and life)?

[Violet]

The way in which people and objects precede each other seems closely related to the language of synchronicities.

It's attention and presence that allows you to see the sign and read it. When we read a sign post we think so we can know how to process the symbol or word correctly.

Long ago people abandoned physical objects for communicating and replaced them with a picture/drawing of the objects, makes the travelling easier. Then the drawings were replaced by symbols. The symbols evolved into increasingly more distant depictions of their objects. Then they fragmented into the semi-abstract letters with which words are composed as verbal pictures of the objects/ideas.

This fragmentation persists. In the future we might continue breaking down and simplifying visual representation congruent to the speed with which human intelligence evolves. In the end we might be left with dots that we will successfully connect (the blind are one step ahead).

With language you refer to something and this idea then follows in the mind of your audience. Your words precede the idea, but the idea was first created by you and then it became a reference and then for whoever heard it a copy of the original idea.

This makes language so special. This new language I'm trying to understand seems to have some grammar to it. In a relative clause the antecedent puts you on track. You can deduce the second part only if you paid attention in the beginning.

We might be on to something here.

[Mark]

What is the difference between art and life? Could art be considered to be fractal in nature? A slightly different dimensional perspective, represented archetypally, envisioned alternate timelines or universes, representative of infinite expression in a multiverse of eternally shifting potentialities?

I think it is possible for implanting to occur, but then, are the Controllers "not" us? Considering the wide diversity of who "we" are? Could they be releasing, rather than implanting, ideas, memes, that are already within us? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Does it even matter? Or is it a question of Prime Cause, and, if so, what does this tell us about the nature of imagination and creativity, the nature of consciousness itself? If the Universe is Mind, then perhaps there is no difference and all that Is, Must Be. The Elite are not separate from us, as we are not separate from Creation itself. The dream, co-created, Is Life, is Consciousness, is the Multiverse exploring itself, intent upon manifesting all forms of possibility.

[eaglespirit]

TAKE Control!!!

[Mark]

The way in which people and objects precede each other seems closely related to the language of synchronicities.

The language of synchronciities...YES! :)

That is so exactly right. A language spoken by the sky, the wind, the animals and bugs, the waters and the earth...formulated into intelligent design by interlocked consciousnesses of differing levels of experience and dimensional habitation. In African-descended traditions that stemmed first from the Ba-Twa (Pygmies) then moved up thru Nubia into the Nile, and then in every conceivable direction from there but most particularly into West Africa and the tradition of Ifa, which birthed Vodun (Voodoo), Santeria, Candomble here in the Americas, the Honored Ancestors are a very real presence who shift the world around us in order to send us msgs, who cause the beads and shells to fall in certain patterns, who affect the good and the bad things that occur in our lives. This language of synchronicities is a language that is indeed universal and that we can approximate it in our understanding is such a major gift and blessing...depending, as you say, upon ...


... attention and presence that allows you to see the sign and read it. When we read a sign post we think so we can know how to process the symbol or word correctly.

The clarity necessary to achieve this degree of Nowness and Presence is legendary. LOL That degree of concentration and release from the cascade of thoughts is prodigious, but the gradual evolution toward that clarity remains mandatory.


This makes language so special. This new language I'm trying to understand seems to have some grammar to it. In a relative clause the antecedent puts you on track. You can deduce the second part only if you paid attention in the beginning.

I agree. It would be interesting to attempt in some way to approximate this grammar. Signs, symbols, exist and occur whether we understand them or not. It would be contextual and dependent to some extent upon common human understandings, perhaps sub-conscious in nature, like the symbols of dreams.

[donk]

are the Controllers "not" us?

Well, they are not ME, I continue to prove that in through the episode today, in dealing with someone that totally NEEDS to be controller of everything, a Yertle the Turtle is there ever was one.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AT5ISlim_M/TYADclPjgeI/AAAAAAAAApg/z2nIFCFHjig/s1600/DSCN0858.jpg

This jam started on TV and went to dreams, which reminds me of Inception…the controllers are those that allowed a parasite, an idea, that control enhances their experience, that no one else’s experience matters.

That is not me. I watch, like you—to learn about a phenomenon I can’t understand because it is not a part of my being. It is not a distraction to me, it is a window into ideas. I can’t get on board with the idea that deception is a way to realize an experience you believe you want. It is not who I am. I don’t think the type of creature I am is unique, in fact, I am convinced we are being tricked into believing that very thought: that we are responsible for all that we find ourselves in.

I feel it is my personal responsibility to change the reality to one with less deception. I am called to seek out self-deception, and to project that outwards, finding similar creatures who are not satisfied living in lies.

[Mark]

I feel it is my personal responsibility to change the reality to one with less deception. I am called to seek out self-deception, and to project that outwards, finding similar creatures who are not satisfied living in lies.

I hear ya, Donk. Sovereignty could mean ultimate responsibility for ones own beliefs, decisions and actions. Even in choosing to live a lie, people are expressing their sovereignty with their choice to do so, even if it is the same choice made by many millions or billions of others. The extent to which we are each responsible for our conscious decision-making process is another question with a morass of answers available, competing and even contradictory in nature and also dependent upon the extent to which we apply understandings of Higher Selfs, Soul Groups and other forms of Collectivity which inform our individuated decision-making processes. Deep and confusing. LOL

Like Eaglespirit said, taking control is important. Kudos on you for finding one of your purposes. Perhaps your clarity is stemming from your Soul Group and all of those like you are now gathering to do exactly this. It is time, right? :)

I do not understand this picture. I have seen it several times. Seems I remember someone telling me once that skeletons with daisies/flowers represent ancestors. That's not what I think of when I look at it. I thought I would look up an answer to my own question(s), but can't find anything satisfactory.

Anyone?

PurpleLama, what is the meaning of that tea drinking skeleton?
You are being overly cryptic...har har....

Changing the subject to return to some clarity:

With the recent life change, I hadn’t realize how much I obsessively checked my email. And now that I don’t need to be on-call, I unplugged my phone. The silence is wonderful from all those “do not call” calls.

I forgot that I went down for a nap, and woke up several hours later in the dark. I thought it was early morning.

Life’s a funny game.

Turrialba is still smoking. The evening news show videos of farmers brushing the ashes off of the backs of their cows and horses. Brave scientists sitting on the edge of the smoking crater. And lots of photos.
Like this one, taken from the summit of a mountain to he south of us.

What I have read this evening about ancestors did not bring me closer to understanding. I did read some interesting stuff on the Day of the Dead celebration, and about why skulls and skeletons are decorated for that. One website reminded me that death will come to us all, no one escapes - which is an ultimate justice for those who do not like the inequities of this world at present, which may also be a reason to make skeletons look...joyous. Then I found stuff like this: “Frankly, our ancestors don't seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn't care about what would happen to the people who came after them.” ― Suzanne Collins

Just like everything else I go hunting up, the good stuff must be hidden. Or...I didn't find what I was looking for, so it wasn't time for me to find it. Who knows.

Right now, I am up early with huge blistery and/or red, very itchy rashes all over my body due to allergic reaction to something (antibiotics? supplements? cats? dust? anything?)...I had an allergic reaction on Tuesday while on antibiotics (which I stopped then as well as all supplements), then got steroids (to take for 5 days) and anti histamines, it went down after some hours...but yesterday morning a rash developed on my hips, spoke to a doctor who said to get allergy tests...then last night the reaction spread and got a lot worse, even worse than when I first had it before the current medication to control it...I phoned up the NHS Direct helpline (really good service, IMO) and they arranged for an off hours doctor to call me...she said it's a strong allergic reaction as I am on steroids and that is very strong...and she said go to the doctors tomorrow, show them and perhaps they will give you different anti histamines...now my eyes have inflamed a little and are a bit red...I feel/know I will be ok so don't worry but just got to find out what is causing this...I stood out to me that the nurse on the end of the phone asked me if I had had a vaccination recently, and I said yes 3 and a half months ago I had the Hepatitis B jab (at work, not that I wanted to...had just one of the shots) and that I came down with a bad virus a few weeks later and have been ill since...so what is going on? Now I feel like I demand to know!

What I love about art is the one thing art education seems to hate. A free view. A free perception of what is presented to you. In school they teach you that the impressionists lived in such era with such and such political climate and that this pencil stroke right here at the right top angle must mean no other than...a call for rebellion. Same with literature. Thomas Moore lived in such century in this area and because of his Irish background and political upheavals these words must mean no other than...a cry for freedom. Now, please, memorise.

Likewise, if the artist/writer h(er)imself left no such room and just said: I painted that bridge, that's all there is. I wrote about the war, what more is there to say, it would do great injustice to the subtle layers that creep into even planned work. That is why, if any spectator/reader finds those subtle layers, they should not be denounced all at once. And that is the true richness and luxury of the arts.

But to make a long story short :) I had the same question about the old lady. I thought it might mean something like: the past is still here, or, things don't change all that much, continuity.

are the Controllers "not" us?

Well, they are not ME, I continue to prove that in through the episode today, in dealing with someone that totally NEEDS to be controller of everything, a Yertle the Turtle is there ever was one.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-7AT5ISlim_M/TYADclPjgeI/AAAAAAAAApg/z2nIFCFHjig/s1600/DSCN0858.jpg

This jam started on TV and went to dreams, which reminds me of Inception…the controllers are those that allowed a parasite, an idea, that control enhances their experience, that no one else’s experience matters.

That is not me. I watch, like you—to learn about a phenomenon I can’t understand because it is not a part of my being. It is not a distraction to me, it is a window into ideas. I can’t get on board with the idea that deception is a way to realize an experience you believe you want. It is not who I am. I don’t think the type of creature I am is unique, in fact, I am convinced we are being tricked into believing that very thought: that we are responsible for all that we find ourselves in.

I feel it is my personal responsibility to change the reality to one with less deception. I am called to seek out self-deception, and to project that outwards, finding similar creatures who are not satisfied living in lies.

...taking control dissipates deception, imho...my suggestion of taking control is in accordance with my 'higher' enhancer by default...it is a gratitude, humility, self- responsibility garnerer

My suggestion has not a thing to do with controlling Others...it IS all embracing self-enhancement and self-responsibility of the highest orders in a selfless entrainment that energizes the space all around...the Love is felt by those in that space and They either enjoy or are a bit set aback.

No words need to be spoken in most encounters for it is the initial reaction felt that carries the probability of union of thoughts onto a common 'higher road' path which becomes the conductor of conversation when the probability becomes possibility becomes in-the-now-higher-happening.

TAKE Control of YOU !!!

Agreed.
Spirituality is the way to go to become radiant.
The more one sends one's energies out, more energy is replenished from within, like from the inside of a cornucopia.
That's what I meant about becoming the creators of our utopian vision. Once one knows that the vision one holds dear will lead to reality, and one operates from hope, and even certitude, nothing can stop it becoming.
Then radiance follows, and becomes steady. No more need to be a suction cup, ever again.

Or, you did Not include HooDoo in your search....

That quote was terrible, that I deleted from this reply. It signifies much that is wrong in western consciousness. If western culture had not forgotten the Ancestors in the first place, we would not have such destruction today. We lost much to the conquests of Catholicism which ravaged the indigenous cultures all over Europe and replaced such knowledge with their religion of priestly dominance.

Try combinations of ancestor, altar, hoodoo, worship, stuff like that, and you will be reminded.

This turtle picture is either being misinterpreted or the picture itself is a misinterpretation. The original story is of Atlas holding up the world and Atlas being held up by a turtle, and thereafter it is ‘turtles all the way down’. Hence ‘turtles all the way up’ should not mean that we are at the bottom of a pyramid of exploiters, but simply that we are part of an infinite string of turtles holding each other up and being held up.

Hi Amethyst,

My daughter, Em, has developed allergies to things she was never allergic to when she was younger. Seems she is now allergic to cleaning solutions. She was helping at the herb store a while back and was using something all natural to help clean up there, and developed a red rash from that, too. (Sounds like she has an allergy to cleaning, hahaha.) The herbalist gave her a tincture made from stinging nettle, she takes a dropperful any time she starts getting a rash. This stuff has been a godsend at our house. As a matter of fact, D (my grandson) has allergies. When I came to stay awhile, I brought a bottle so he could try it also. He has seasonal allergies, or possibly environmental, but his present as sinus trouble and congestion. Of course, he is terribly allergic to bug bites also. I gave him half a dropperful twice a day for about a week, and he has no sign of so much as a sniffle.

Just a thought.

Much love,

Amethyst,

You are "drinking pharmaceutical soup."

IMHO, you are being too trusting of Western medicine and acquiescing to their proclivity to "treat" everything with pills and injections. If you keep going back to them, you'll end up on half a dozen medications. Antibiotics destroy gut flora necessary for health. Gut health rules your health, to a great extent. Some pills are critically important and can mean the difference between life-or-death, but even the vast majority (I want to say "all", but I won't) of those medicines have natural remedies as alternatives. Most natural remedies are MUCH gentler on your body.

Your skin is your body's major eliminative organ. Toxins come out through the skin and can cause pimples and rashes. The original UTI would have gotten relief in hours and would probably have been cured in a couple of days with pure cranberry juice - and your body has now been assaulted by 2 antibiotics plus steroids instead. There are many different gut flora - hundreds of them - and your vibrant health depends on them being in balance with one another and with your body (and it could take weeks, even months, to regain balance after antibiotics.) For me to take a pharmaceutical antibiotic, I'd have to be convinced that my life depended on it (ulli just went through one of those.)

Water - pure water - and lots of it, organic herbal teas, organic fruits will help your body cleanse itself, and you may need to take probiotics and/or eat fermented foods to help your gut recover.

I wish you vibrant health, sister!

Tying together a couple of strands here – art/life, bones/ancestors (vs dinosaurs), taking control of self, and also laughter on Curt’s thread (told ya he’d be back!).

With reference to the skull brain/belly brain dynamic I have been discussing in recent posts, laughter can activate either the belly brain (humour) or the skull brain (wit), or, better still, both. Wit in French is ‘esprit’, which also means mind, or spirit, in every sense of the word except liquor. So a witticism is a spirited remark. ‘Spirituel’ means both witty and spiritual. I guess spirits (spiritueux) are so called because they also go to your head. I finally got to read on and around the Day of the Dead the book I mentioned a little earlier, Qatastrophe by Claude Ollier. The hero Qvell crosses over into a kind of purgatory. At the entrance he is met by a customs officer who says to him ‘pas d’esprit’ (none of your wit), which is itself quite funny since if you can’t bring your spirit or ghost, what can you bring? But it is a little more cerebral than the average St Peter at the pearly gates joke. http://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/quotes/pearly_gates.html

Normally speaking, bones and skeletons are what you do leave behind and if they symbolize anything, it is by default everything that they are not, such as ancestors. But on the contrary, what we get is the very opposite, the memento mori stuff: remember that you are dust (pulvis/pulveris in Latin), and don’t you ever forget, you are going to be pulverized. But this is a trickster ghost of a customs officer, and Qvell has to have his wits about him: that is part of the process, and success leads to a gradual return of his physical powers. He first goes on trial, and as a copyist in life he is defended by an Ibis, a figure recalling Thoth, the Egyptian god of writing. His accusers complain that he worked sloppily, altered the text of his copies, signed his copies and even signed the originals – in other words behaved like a creative writer. But he is not convicted: in a sense, he is at home among the mirages and deceptions of this world. Likewise, when commissioned by a goddess Isis-type figure called Qveer to make 14 copies of her map, he is not punished for producing anomalies that were in the original anyway (Isis’s own reconstruction of Osiris from 14 pieces was incomplete). In another incident, he and his alter ego, Qveen the musician, are assigned a home and a plot of land to cultivate. They meet some neighbours, fat and lazy loungers, yet whose garden is full of things to eat. They are told that the secret to doing no work is to remove a statuette placed by a loved one in your grave and place it on the rooftop; this way, some earthling will do your work for you. Qveen is wary of following this lead, but Qvell robs his own grave, and is thrown out because he has failed this particular test: it was all a trick. He ends up back on earth as a copyist, but copying a foreign language, so he has no room for creativity. Why he ends up back on earth is clearly because he is still feeding off the earth, which amounts to copying slavishly with no input from the other side. The creative one is in fact the union of Qvell and Qveen, the scribe and the musician, the one in the material world, the other in the other world.


The moral of the story seems to be that what passes down below for slouching/inaccuracy with respect to an original, seen as complete, is seen as creativity in the beyond, exploiting the potential of incompleteness; in other words, creativity involves opening up an apparently closed system. But this involves not laziness but a little hard work. We are not here for a free lunch, we are here to make our personal creative input. Control over others is sponging, all take and no give; control over self leads to self-sufficiency, a prerequisite for sharing. The ‘free energy’, more correctly ‘sustainable energy’, in giving of oneself lies in this ability to renew oneself by producing and consuming sustenance, when one without that ability or work ethic will simply be sucked dry. It is not for nothing that the belly brain is located in the belly. And it is not for nothing that the belly comes with a pair of arms and legs rather than a remote control.

[PurpleLama]

The doomed dinosaur thread met its predictable demise, and not for nothing, having the silly claim that dinosaurs never existed. Yet, numerous points within the article that the article quoted from which in turn was quoted in the original post of the thread were indeed true to the science of paleontology. It is not at all unknown to the science that the discovery of a few bones of some hitherto unknown species might lead some scientist to draw on the sum of their knowledge of such things as bones and dinosaurs and such to dream up the rest of the incomplete creature, and should such be accepted by their peers, to have it passed off as the whole thing when only few parts were ever present. In spite of the posturings of scientists, much more is not known than ever will be when it comes to the big scary lizards that once roamed the earth.

Hi all, and thanks for your support, and Dennis, I agree with you and perhaps needed to hear what you said <3. Feel drained now just came back from hospital (long story) and the doctor said that he was sure that it was the antibiotic (Nitrofurantoin) that caused it and that it is a complicated drug and he was questioning who gave it to me and gave that disapproving look like it should not have been given to me even though allergic reaction to it like this is rare (but he said "nasty"), perhaps because I have not been well in the first place...he said what had happened was not only a delayed reaction to it but also that my immune system has been triggered and kept going even though there was not more antigen (antibiotic) left...so it kinda went out of control...I should be ok now...maybe I'll start cranberry juice, and the only supplements that I will take soon will be probiotics (which I have in the fridge already) as they are essential after antibiotics...I'll read more posts on here later when I've rested enough...

Love,

Amethyst <3

i watch a lot of tv series. Movies too, but the shows out now are pretty intense. I tell others it is research but they do not believe me. It is. Most are not aware of the extent of collaboration between the PTB and the film industry even though the connection is relatively well documented.


And that's just a few of the shows that are on TV. In ALL of these shows, the good guys, the ones we identify with, are sociopaths at least, some are psychopaths. They have codes, ie morals, and so because they fight for the perceptive good side they are to be seen as good people, no matter the horrors they engage in.

I'm with you Rahkyt.
I really love tv series and some characters are dark side. I see these characters from the distance. Like the plot or the acting.

I saw Jack Weber on THE FOLLOWING. His role is a psychotic. Recalling his role in MEDIUM, I peed laughing seeing him on that character. The drama becomes a comedy.

SUPERVIRUSES, CONTAMINATED VACCINES
AND THE CURRENT AND COMING PLAGUES
by: Horowitz, Leonard, DMD, MPH, Ph.D.


Dr. Horowitz received his doctorate in behavioural sciences from Tufts University and his Master of Public Health from Harvard University. He is a pioneer in self- care motivation psychology and healthy human development. He is the author of more than 80 articles and scientific reports, and the best-selling book Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola - Nature, Accident or Genocide? His latest book is Gulf War Syndrome: The Spreading Epidemic Cover-Up.

This article is based upon mostly historical or scientific facts which are all well documented. Government documents including Litton contracts for development of AIDS and Ebola-like viruses are reprinted in my book Emerging Viruses, AIDS and Ebola.

PLAGUES AND PESTILENCE The latest cancer epidemic rates predict that one out of every two people in North America will likely have cancer sometime over the next 25 years. We are in the period of the Great Tribulation as predicted in the book of Revelation, the Hopi prophecies of the American Indians, Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus. The book of Revelation says that approximately one third of the earth's population will be wiped out during the Great Tribulation by famine, beasts, pestilence and plagues. We have entered very clearly into the times of the great plagues.

VACCINES RELATED TO AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE Could vaccines be related to the current and coming plagues and epidemics, the autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, Gulf War syndrome, AIDS, Guillain-Barre, Lou Gehrig's syndrome (ALS), lupus, asthma, hay fever, allergies, meningitis, adult onset diabetes, chronic crippling rheumatoid arthritis, some of the bizarre cancers with no family history and other modern maladies? Indeed they are. Vaccine links to cancer are increasing prostate, lymphoma and breast cancer. These are the viruses they were using in their labs in the NCI.

DISCOVERING A GOVERNMENT COVERUP In 1990, I was chief professional advisor for a dental and medical supply company that was losing millions of dollars in the case of the Florida dentist who infected his patients with the AIDS virus. In the process of investigating the case, I discovered that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) had literally covered up almost all of the incriminating evidence against this dentist. It took me three years to figure out why. In my book Deadly Innocence, I concluded that this dentist had intentionally infected people with AIDS to express a vendetta he held against the government of the U.S., the CDC and the World Health Organization (WHO). He believed that they had created the AIDS virus in a lab and had intentionally infected the gay population of New York City with AIDS viruses during a 1978 experimental hepatitis B vaccine program. He contracted it himself from a colleague who had participated in the vaccine program in New York. He believed that this genocide was sill happening in the WHO's ongoing vaccine programs for blacks in central Africa. It was hard for me to believe all this, but he had left behind a document, a 1970 Department of Defence appropriations request for $10 million for a five year study to develop an immune system ravaging microorganism for germ warfare. This project was authorized by the most esteemed of all scientific agencies in America, the National Academy of Sciences and the National Research Council. In essence I followed a paper trail in the scientific literature and government documents, and I followed the money; scientists publish their research, and when they publish, they acknowledge the funding sources. My three year investigation is summarized in my book Emerging Viruses, AIDS and Ebola which documents the experimental research into the viruses which led to AIDS and the contaminated vaccines, as well as the financial grants which funded the research. The money went to Litton Bionetics research labs.

CREATION OF NEW VIRUSES TO SUPPRESS THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM Litton Industries right outside Toronto, makers of nuclear weapons and space aerotechnology, have a medical subsidiary called Litton Bionetics. Since 1972, all biological weapons research and development in the U.S. has proceeded under the guise of cancer research. Litton Bionetics ran the entire National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Fort Detrick, Maryland, cancer research facilities which is America's premier biological weapons testing center. Litton administered all the money going through the Fort Detrick facilities, administered all the programs and supplied all the viruses and all the monkeys. In addition, they held the contract to literally create numerous AIDS-like and Ebola-like viruses in a secret virus cancer program for which they got two million dollars a year over five years from 1962-1976. The director was Dr. Robert Gallo who was credited with the discovery of the AIDS virus in 1984. They took monkey viruses which were known to cause cancer in most animals, and began to recombine these with almost every cancer virus known. They started with Simian Virus 40 (SV40) which was known in 1961 to cause cancer in virtually every animal it was injected into.

HOW THE MONKEYS BECAME CONTAMINATED WITH VIRUSES THAT COULD INFECT HUMANS Litton Bionetics supplied the monkeys to America's leading biological weapons developers as well as the world's leading vaccine developers and cancer researchers throughout the world. These chimpanzees and monkeys were previously involved in the viral research under Dr. Robert Gallo's supervision in which they took SV40, and human lymphoma viruses that they knew caused cancer of the human lymph nodes and other viruses which were known to cause cancer. These viruses were recombined and mutated and hybridized with a host of animal cancer viruses. Their favourite viruses to work with were the cat leukemia virus RNA which causes a whole list of symptoms similar to AIDS symptoms. Their second favourite virus was chicken leukemia sarcoma virus RNA which causes wasting and immunosuppression and death. These viruses were grown in monkeys which they later used to make the vaccines including the hepatitis B vaccine! At this point they still had trouble infecting humans. To get the virus to jump species into humans, another mutation was required, so they cultured it in human white blood cells in some studies and human fetal tissue cell cultures in other studies so it would adapt. It developed what is called the attachment apparatus that allowed unique GP120-like proteins to develop on the outside membrane of these unique man-constructed viruses. These GP120-like proteins allowed these new viruses to attach to the human cells, to be carried across the membranes and enter the gene of the human cells and do virtually everything the AIDS virus does today. The attachment apparatus in the AIDS virus is called GP120 protein. This is all documented in the scientific literature. 99% of the scientists who did this research are humanitarians; they were cancer researchers. It is only the very top people who knew what was going on, people like Dr. Gallo and Peter Duesberg, the chicken-leukemia sarcoma virus expert.

CONTAMINATED MONKEYS WERE USED IN VACCINE RESEARCH Going back to 1965, in New York City, Saul Krugman at New York University Medical Center was studying the hepatitis B virus, known to be a strong cofactor for cancer. He began to inoculate hundreds of mentally retarded children at Willowbrook with these cancer viruses for the purpose of testing these viruses on human beings and developing hepatitis B vaccines. Of course many of the children died, but they studied various vaccines until 1970. When they were close to developing a vaccine to prevent hepatitis, Krugman give the project over to Dr. Maurice Hilleman. Dr. Hilleman was Merck, Sharpe and Dohme's top vaccine developer at the time, and directed the principle research laboratory for vaccines in New York City. At this point, Litton sent Hilleman rhesus monkeys, chimpanzees and other monkeys contaminated with cancer viruses from Litton monkey colonies in Africa for use in making these vaccines, specifically the 1974 experimental hepatitis B vaccine. According to Hilleman, 70% of their caged laboratory animals were hideously contaminated with a whole assortment of cancer viruses and herpes-type viruses scientifically linked today to immune dysfunction, neurological problems and cancers. The caged monkeys had been infected with 40 different viruses while sitting in a confined space in group holding cells en route to the U.S. At this point the African greens were imported from Africa via another route to avoid this problem, but they were already contaminated with AIDS viruses and other viruses. Hilleman grew the hepatitis B viruses in these contaminated chimpanzees and extracted the live viruses out of these animals. They prepared the vaccine in 1972-73 and administered 200,000 doses in 1974. So along with the hepatitis B viruses came all the herpes type viruses like cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, herpes B and all of a sudden you begin to hear about herpes in the late 1970's and chronic fatigue immune dysfunction which made its appearance in 1978.

HILLEMAN'S TAPED INTERVIEW In a 1986 interview with WGBH in Boston (*this original interview is included on Dr. Horowitz's Vaccination tape) Dr. Hilleman admitted, "I brought the AIDS virus into North America in contaminated African greens although I didn't know it at the time." He further stated that the vaccines that Merck was producing at that time were hideously contaminated and unfortunately still are today. He said the yellow fever vaccine produced in these animals was full of leukemia viruses, and the Sabin's oral polio vaccine was hideously contaminated with Simian Virus 40 (SV40) and other cancer viruses. This SV40 virus today still contaminates the oral polio vaccines that we are giving our children with as many as 100 Simian monkey cancer virus contaminants per dose. The vaccines are still being made in contaminated monkey kidney tissue as they were in the late 50's and early 60's. This is sanctioned by the FDA who must turn a blind eye because of proprietary laws and non-disclosure agreements placed upon them by the Rockefeller-led pharmaceutical industry. Hilleman said on this tape that they had just inoculated the contaminated polio vaccine containing the cancer viruses into well over 100 million people around the world, mostly in Russia. Hilleman himself admitted in this interview with WGBH that these vaccines produced in contaminated chimpanzees, rhesus monkeys and other monkeys, have brought on these current and coming plagues. And Maurice Hilleman developed the vaccines that most plausibly delivered AIDS to the world.

SUMMARY OF THE VACCINE PROGRAM WHICH INITIATED AIDS Hilleman (who was recently awarded the Sabin Gold Medal of Honour award for service to American medicine in military by President Clinton) created 200,000 doses of the 1974 experimental hepatitis B vaccine. First he extracted the viruses out of the live animals with all the contaminants, and injected them into the children at Willowbrook, the gay men in New York City and blacks in central Africa. Many of those people died, but the ones who lived were used to create the vaccine. They took the blood from these people, separated the whole cells from the serum, then created the vaccine from the serum, and that is what they used to make the 200,000 doses of the 1974 experimental hepatitis B vaccine that once again they inoculated into the gay men of New York and blacks in central Africa. Ten years previously, these human beings who were given the vaccine had been given the polio vaccines, the hideously contaminated Salk and Sabin polio vaccines which were cultured in monkey kidney tissues contaminated with the monkey viruses. So these human subjects from which they made the vaccine had been human incubation chambers for monkey viruses for about a decade previously. So it truly was an accident waiting to happen.

WE NEED A FORMAL INVESTIGATION Bernice Eddy, who was a wonderful human being, was in charge of testing these vaccines for contamination way back in the late 50's and early 60's. She tried the Sabin vaccine on a dozen monkeys, first the Salk and then the Sabin, and discovered that all dozen monkeys keeled over dead or were paralyzed. She took pictures of the 12 dead and paralyzed monkeys and showed them to the director of the National Institute of Health who confiscated the photos and then demoted and defunded her. It took her until 1972 to get before Congress where she stated: "If you continue to allow these contaminated vaccines to go out, I guarantee you, over the next 20 years, you will have epidemics of cancer unlike the world has ever seen", and they didn't listen to her. Today we have those epidemics. We need to bring Hilleman (now dead) before Congress to be questioned about the information in this tape and have a formal investigation about these contaminated vaccines.

FOREIGN RNA AND DNA IN VACCINES How do the vaccines produce this type of injury? When you get vaccinated, you get a variety of bacterial, viral and other contaminants such as the simian monkey viruses in the polio vaccines, as well as proteins pumped into your blood stream. The foreign RNA and foreign DNA in the vaccines are not the contaminant, but the primary ingredient. When these substances enter your body, they glob on to your human tissues; for instance, some of them might attach to the myelin sheaths surrounding the nerve fibres. Now you have what is called an antigenic complex which is a complex of a foreign viral particle, a bacterial particle, or a foreign DNA in your own host cell protein which represents an entire antigenic complex which the body now recognizes as foreign, and so it now mounts an immune response against the entire complex. This is called an autoimmune response - your body starts attacking itself. Some of the antibodies that your body creates, some of your white blood cells, macrophages and lymphocytes attack your own host cell proteins. This foreign RNA and DNA are mutant recombinant fragments of RNA and DNA, and they also get into your cells, and combine with your genes and cause genetic mutations within your own cells, creating mutant hybrid cells, giving rise to precancerous cells and precancerous diseases. They don't even tell you where the foreign RNA and DNA comes from. Why? Because they may not even know. And that's modern science! In the Bible it says "Don't create hybrid seeds of any kind."

UNDISCLOSED VACCINE INGREDIENTS They tell you some of the complications associated with these vaccines, but they really don't tell you all of them, and they don't tell you many of the contaminants or the ingredients. The ingredients of the chicken pox vaccine produced by Merck are listed as "monosodium glutamate (MSG), formaldehyde (formalin), aluminum, mercury, herpes viruses (meaning it could have numerous ones like cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, herpes B) and foreign RNA and DNA".

PERIOD OF IMMUNITY They tell us now that when we get vaccinated the immunity does not last. Every seven to ten years you have to get revaccinated with booster shots; whereas a natural exposure to the virus imparts life long immunity and 98% of people exposed in this way never develop any chronic long term illnesses. They recover.

RISKS AND LASTING EFFECTS OF HEPATITIS B Every time you get inoculated with a vaccine, the package tells you what the risks are. With hepatitis B for instance, 15% of people get a little redness and swelling at the site of the inoculation. 14% develop a little flu-like symptoms or fever. 12-13% develop worse flu-like symptoms, higher fever lasting maybe a week or two. Now we as parents start worrying, don't we? 9-10% develop even longer flu-like symptoms, higher fevers maybe 105 degrees. Now we really start to worry. 6-8% develop potentially long term chronic illness. 3 to 4% even worse illnesses, and finally the last 1% develop serious injuries. These serious injuries are death, brain damage or chronic crippling rheumatoid arthritis. You don't read a word about this in the media. My sister-in-law, a brilliant microbiologist, after getting a hepatitis B vaccine, the next day got a high high fever, became extremely ill for two weeks, and then began to develop chronic crippling rheumatoid arthritis. Today she can barely hold her infant because her hands are so swollen. This is a woman who used to climb the Rockies every weekend with her husband. That vaccines are safe and effective is the greatest lie ever told. How effective are these vaccines when a lot of people still develop the illnesses against which they were vaccinated, like pertussis, whooping cough and measles?

GULF WAR SYNDROME Gulf War syndrome is associated with an experimental AIDS vaccine administered to unsuspecting troops. Pentagon officials have contacted me and told me they totally agree with my work, and that they are concerned about the intentional contamination of the vaccines given to the 700,000 Gulf War veterans. 200,000 of these veterans are suffering with Gulf War syndrome. More than 20,000 have already died of it. And they are now injecting a new anthrax vaccine into some million additional military personnel which definitely has not been tested long term and has major risks. And it requires periodic revaccinations.

POLIO VACCINE LINKED TO MENINGITIS How effective and how safe are these vaccines? In my home state of Massachusetts, the first year that they gave inoculations, there was a 642% increase in polio cases that year. Then after 1966, the polio cases disappeared and now we have meningitis. There is a lot of growing scientific evidence that suggests that the weakened oral polio virus used in Sabin's vaccines that we are getting today are causing neurological problems.

PERTUSSIN VACCINE This is a particularly risky vaccine. When a child gets the PPT vaccine, they may begin to have respiratory arrest, and at any time within weeks of getting the vaccine, they could have Sudden Infant Death (SIDS) as part of a whole spectrum of reactions including high fever and pains, swelling, diarrhea, projectile vomiting, sleepiness, sleeplessness, high pitched screaming, uncontrollable crying, seizures, convulsions, collapse, shock, breathing problems, brain damage and Sudden Infant Death (SIDS).

FLU VACCINES My mother died in 1993 of Guillain-Barre, scientifically shown to be linked to first the swine flu vaccines of 1975 and subsequently the other flu vaccines. Guillain-Barre is a progressive autoimmune system related disorder which like all the other autoimmune related disorders are principally initiated by vaccines.

WHEN THEY ASK YOU IF YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE VACCINATED If you are ever asked if your children are vaccinated you say "Yep, she's all set, thank you". If you can't bring yourself to lie, then you say, "For spiritual and religious reasons we refuse to have our children vaccinated. If you will check with your CDC officials, they will tell you it's not mandatory." End of story. CDC has stated that vaccines are not mandatory. It is your choice. Although school administrators tell you that you can't get into school without these vaccinations, the fact is they have exemption forms for spiritual or religious reasons. Dr. Zoltan Rona explained today that you can insist on having these, have it notarized and signed. No more threats. If you are a health care professional such as a hygienist, dentist, doctor, technician, police officer or fire official and are told you must get hepatitis B and other vaccines or you can't work there, you can say: "O.K., I will do it under one condition. You provide me with a bonded notarized affidavit that swears that you will assume all medical legal and financial risks in the event that I or my child is injured from the vaccine". They will never do that.

DR. LANCTOT'S CASE Dr. Guylaine Lanctot, the author of The Medical Mafia fought the Canadian government and the Canadian Medical Association who threatened to take away her medical licence because she refused to vaccinate her patients. She called Dr. W. John Martin who wrote the forward to my book to testify at her case and it was dismissed. Dr. Martin is one of the world's leading vaccine contamination analysts. He worked as the FDA's Bureau of Biologics director between 1976 and 1980 in charge of testing human vaccines for contamination. In the forward of my book he stated: "All of today's live viral vaccines are potentially contaminated. They may be bringing diseases and this is not necessary. They could have been cleaned up but they refused to clean them up." They will never ever want this truth to come out. Dr. Lanctot now travels around the world educating people about vaccines.

BACKGROUND POLITICS OF THE CONTAMINATED VACCINES

HENRY KISSINGER No epidemic in earth's history has ever evolved without major social and political upheaval, so you have to examine the decade prior to 1978 when the first AIDS cases emerged. Going back to 1968, Henry Kissinger was appointed National Security Advisor, which made him the most powerful man in American intelligence, overseeing the FBI, CIA and foreign policy. Almost immediately, Kissinger selected the option to develop immune system ravaging microorganisms for germ warfare as an alternative to nuclear weapons. You must create the organisms, and then test them where the hand of America will not show. Where is that? Central Africa, Zaire and Angola, the heart of the African AIDS belt and close to ground zero for the first Ebola virus outbreak. AIDS is a lousy biological weapon, but it is a fabulous population reducing agent. Ebola is an ideal weapon. It kills nine out of ten people within three weeks. It has proteolytic enzymes that turn your internal organs and blood vessels to mush. That is why it is far better than nuclear weapons. You still have all the infrastructure. Why destroy the property when you can own it? What is Kissinger's relationship to all this? You have to go back to 1955.

THE INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS WHO RUN THE WORLD In 1955 Kissinger was made the nuclear weapons study group director for the Council of Foreign Relations by Nelson Rockefeller. This is not a government agency. It is approximately 3,000 of the wealthiest most powerful military medical industrialists who dictate policy for all of the heads of state who are all puppets. The international banksters run the world. They are the international bankers, international industrialists, and medical and military industrialists.

THE NEW WORLD ORDER That same year (1955), Kissinger finished his Ph.D. thesis at Harvard entitled The Meaning of History in which he describes the contemporary evolution of the New World Order. You can pull his thesis off the shelf in the stacks in the library at Harvard. The phrase, New World Order, was made famous by George Bush who frequently talked about it. You have to be blind if you don't see that this one world government agenda is rapidly unfolding. Also in 1955, Bertrand Russell, who is from an aristocratic English family with ties to high level British intelligence and the shadow governors (banksters), wrote in his book The Impact of Science on Society: "I do not pretend that birth control is the only way in which population can be kept from increasing. War has hitherto been disappointing in this respect, but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. There are three ways of securing a society whose population is stable: birth control, infanticide or really destructive wars which creates general misery except for the powerful minority. These considerations prove that a scientific world society cannot be stable unless there is a world government with a monopoly of armed force."

NAZI MASS DEPARTURE FROM GERMANY Just before the end of WWII, Kissinger was godfather to Project Paperclip which was the exfiltration of approximately 2,000 Nazis out of Germany before the war's end, along with all the vast fortunes. Most people think all the Nazis went to the Nuremburg trials. Not true. Most were fined about $5,000 and jailed for a few years, then released to join their colleagues in America working for the CIA and intelligence for American industry. We have declassified documents to prove that 2000 came to the U.S. and 11,000 went to France. Seven books have already been written about it. Among the Nazis who got out were some of the most hideous names in contemporary history. In 1938, the Dulles brothers, the law firm which represented John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil, engineered the partnership between John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil and I.G. Farben, Germany's leading industrial organization which held the patent on the gas that killed millions of people. I.G. Farben and the Third Reich were inseparable partners, and the Rockefellers were partners with I.G. Farben. The American Red Cross, largely controlled by Rockefeller, supplied the Nazis with false identification. Laurance Rockefeller created the New York City Blood Council which became the international "blood banksters". These are the people who allowed countless people around the world to get HIV contaminated blood. They knew for years it was contaminated with HIV but they let it be used anyway.

THE CANCER INDUSTRY AND THE SUPPRESSION OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE In the 1920's Rockefeller and Sloan created the cancer industry. Also in the 20's, they had another agenda, the monopolization of American medicine, and it was determined that holistic therapies and alternative medicine were quackery and fraud.

EUGENICS In the same decade, an interesting union was forming between the Rockefeller family, Prescott Bush (George Bush's father), William Draper III, the Royal family in England, and a few other financiers who inspired the eugenics agenda. Eugenics simply means the study of the genetic differences between the races. It led to the racial hygiene laws, and the study of the genetic predisposition for diseases among the races. The racial hygiene laws that you think Hitler came up with were in fact originated in 1928 by the Rockefellers, Prescott Bush and the Royal family and others, aiming for population reduction and supremacy of the master race.

NAZI MONEY BURIED IN NEW CORPORATIONS At the end of the war Hitler ordered Martin Bormann, financial director of the Third Reich, to bury the treasure not only for Germany's economic recovery, but for the rise of the Fourth Reich. So Bormann buried it into 750 corporations as determined by their partners I.G. Farben and the Rockefellers, to establish a monopoly over the world's pharmaceutical and chemical industries because this would be essential for the "New Ordnung" or "New Order". Among the 750 corporations that received the money, one of the principle recipients was Merck and Co., the people who produced along with Dr. Hilleman the vaccine that plausibly delivered AIDS to the world. Merck has remained a major biological weapons contractor for CIA's top secret project NKNaomi, and Kissinger has remained all these years a major consultant to Merck. Two of the most important financial contributors to world population reduction have been the Merck Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation.

[Curt]

Dude.....

Your insights never cease to amaze me.

Mucho respecto.


Tying together a couple of strands here – art/life, bones/ancestors (vs dinosaurs), taking control of self, and also laughter on Curt’s thread (told ya he’d be back!).

With reference to the skull brain/belly brain dynamic I have been discussing in recent posts, laughter can activate either the belly brain (humour) or the skull brain (wit), or, better still, both. Wit in French is ‘esprit’, which also means mind, or spirit, in every sense of the word except liquor. So a witticism is a spirited remark. ‘Spirituel’ means both witty and spiritual. I guess spirits (spiritueux) are so called because they also go to your head. I finally got to read on and around the Day of the Dead the book I mentioned a little earlier, Qatastrophe by Claude Ollier. The hero Qvell crosses over into a kind of purgatory. At the entrance he is met by a customs officer who says to him ‘pas d’esprit’ (none of your wit), which is itself quite funny since if you can’t bring your spirit or ghost, what can you bring? But it is a little more cerebral than the average St Peter at the pearly gates joke. http://digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/quotes/pearly_gates.html

Normally speaking, bones and skeletons are what you do leave behind and if they symbolize anything, it is by default everything that they are not, such as ancestors. But on the contrary, what we get is the very opposite, the memento mori stuff: remember that you are dust (pulvis/pulveris in Latin), and don’t you ever forget, you are going to be pulverized. But this is a trickster ghost of a customs officer, and Qvell has to have his wits about him: that is part of the process, and success leads to a gradual return of his physical powers. He first goes on trial, and as a copyist in life he is defended by an Ibis, a figure recalling Thoth, the Egyptian god of writing. His accusers complain that he worked sloppily, altered the text of his copies, signed his copies and even signed the originals – in other words behaved like a creative writer. But he is not convicted: in a sense, he is at home among the mirages and deceptions of this world. Likewise, when commissioned by a goddess Isis-type figure called Qveer to make 14 copies of her map, he is not punished for producing anomalies that were in the original anyway (Isis’s own reconstruction of Osiris from 14 pieces was incomplete). In another incident, he and his alter ego, Qveen the musician, are assigned a home and a plot of land to cultivate. They meet some neighbours, fat and lazy loungers, yet whose garden is full of things to eat. They are told that the secret to doing no work is to remove a statuette placed by a loved one in your grave and place it on the rooftop; this way, some earthling will do your work for you. Qveen is wary of following this lead, but Qvell robs his own grave, and is thrown out because he has failed this particular test: it was all a trick. He ends up back on earth as a copyist, but copying a foreign language, so he has no room for creativity. Why he ends up back on earth is clearly because he is still feeding off the earth, which amounts to copying slavishly with no input from the other side. The creative one is in fact the union of Qvell and Qveen, the scribe and the musician, the one in the material world, the other in the other world.


The moral of the story seems to be that what passes down below for slouching/inaccuracy with respect to an original, seen as complete, is seen as creativity in the beyond, exploiting the potential of incompleteness; in other words, creativity involves opening up an apparently closed system. But this involves not laziness but a little hard work. We are not here for a free lunch, we are here to make our personal creative input. Control over others is sponging, all take and no give; control over self leads to self-sufficiency, a prerequisite for sharing. The ‘free energy’, more correctly ‘sustainable energy’, in giving of oneself lies in this ability to renew oneself by producing and consuming sustenance, when one without that ability or work ethic will simply be sucked dry. It is not for nothing that the belly brain is located in the belly. And it is not for nothing that the belly comes with a pair of arms and legs rather than a remote control.

[jounai]

Right now I'm writing a book about consciousness, experience and other fun stuff. :) 3 word pages written so far! :heh:

[Natalia]

Right now, I am up early with huge blistery and/or red, very itchy rashes all over my body due to allergic reaction to something (antibiotics? supplements? cats? dust? anything?)...I had an allergic reaction on Tuesday while on antibiotics (which I stopped then as well as all supplements), then got steroids (to take for 5 days) and anti histamines, it went down after some hours...but yesterday morning a rash developed on my hips, spoke to a doctor who said to get allergy tests...then last night the reaction spread and got a lot worse, even worse than when I first had it before the current medication to control it...I phoned up the NHS Direct helpline (really good service, IMO) and they arranged for an off hours doctor to call me...she said it's a strong allergic reaction as I am on steroids and that is very strong...and she said go to the doctors tomorrow, show them and perhaps they will give you different anti histamines...now my eyes have inflamed a little and are a bit red...I feel/know I will be ok so don't worry but just got to find out what is causing this...I stood out to me that the nurse on the end of the phone asked me if I had had a vaccination recently, and I said yes 3 and a half months ago I had the Hepatitis B jab (at work, not that I wanted to...had just one of the shots) and that I came down with a bad virus a few weeks later and have been ill since...so what is going on? Now I feel like I demand to know!

Amethyst,

You are "drinking pharmaceutical soup."

IMHO, you are being too trusting of Western medicine and acquiescing to their proclivity to "treat" everything with pills and injections. If you keep going back to them, you'll end up on half a dozen medications. Antibiotics destroy gut flora necessary for health. Gut health rules your health, to a great extent. Some pills are critically important and can mean the difference between life-or-death, but even the vast majority (I want to say "all", but I won't) of those medicines have natural remedies as alternatives. Most natural remedies are MUCH gentler on your body.

I agree with Dennis that you are too trusting of Western medicine.

As Dennis said, we only wish you vibrant health, sister!

Yeah I know that you both cared when you said that :) At times I have been, but at other times I've been the opposite or in the middle...I stay away from the flu vaccine, never got one even though we were told that we should, and at work (I work, well did before 3.5 months ago...on sick leave now)...they changed some of my job role due to merges and changes within the department, and was training me to work with the doctor in the clinics assisting them with needles to take bodily fluids of the patients...so they said that for this I needed a Hep B injection, really not what I wanted but I went along with it as it was required by them for me to do my job...looking back, I could have said that I was not prepared to have the vaccine as there is a risk that it could effect my health and I did not feel comfortable with that...and they would not have liked or trusted that (it seems, and why me and not others?)...I also have been told at times to try anti depressants and I will not, I do not believe in them for me, and only if they will truly help the person which I believe does happen in some, but perhaps not most cases? A consultant got angry at me once for not taking a certain medication that they suggested for something that was not serious and I listened and then gently asked her if there was a more natural form as I prefer to take natural remedies for some things (I rarely talk like that with doctors, for good reason - not worth it). And so, yeah, I do know what you guys are saying and it was a good reminder to me, I made mistakes with it...

I am not totally anti vaccines (but I am mostly to do with some of it at least), and like with antibiotics and other medications, they over use them or sometimes give them to people who they do not really help...but some western medicines do, whether my natural idealism likes it or not! For the severe allergic reaction, I had to have extra anti histamines pumped into my veins in the ambulance, and the doctor knew how to treat the allergy and what was going on and why - this I trusted, but I should not have trusted the prescription of a new (for me) anti biotic that said on the info leaflet not to take when people have another illness...that was not just my doctor's mistake, but also mine, so I take responce-sees for that. *craving cranberry juice*

(sorry to kind of take over this thread with this! *giggle* :) last one on it, promise)

[1inMany]

Said tearful goodbyes today. Time for K to handle things on her own. It was a long three weeks. I have hope that K is coming along. The relationship has been repaired as much as was humanly possible. The heart to heart connection has been reinforced. I have imparted any wisdom I could dig up, as much as she could handle. And I have nurtured until I can't for another minute. Truly. I'm so sad that D did not want me to go. He needs some tlc in his life, and he really deserves it. K can do that sometimes, but not nearly what he needs. I guess everyone will be fine over there. I Trust that whatever I was able to channel of a Higher nature will remain. I left a Divino Nino candle burning in the kitchen, so for at least a few more days my presence there will be remembered. I have to do like my mom used to say, and just turn it off.

I started the Gita tonight. Thought it would be a good idea to read it again. I was talking to M tonight about how I have trouble getting to the wisdom, myself, in certain areas. I'm not sure how I raised my girls without the filters I had. I set out to do that, so I was successful. They have their own, though. Reminds me of my mom, too. She talked to me once about how you start out with the intention of giving your children the best of you, and you try to not repeat negative patterns of your parents. But, they end up with issues anyway.

I guess I've been thinking about both of my parents. I remember asking my Dad, the JW minister, why I would not be equal to my future husband. The way I figured it, God gave me a brain too. And I wasn't all too sure about the idea of submission, etc. He was a smart man, I chuckle, because he had a strong wife (my Mom) and was looking at a strong daughter. I just imagine my Mom didn't eat that serving of crap well either. He told me that a smart husband would consult his wife, and they were a team. They made decisions together. He couldn't explain to me why the man was the head of the family other than to say that Christ was head of the church. And, of course, the Bible said so.

So, I sat down to read the Gita. Knowing this would be tough, as the commentary is written by a man who shared the same views on submission of women as every other patriarchal religious leader. Well, what I have left to do is the work of digging through the mud to find the pearl. In every direction, it would seem. You have to start someplace, right?

Much Love,

Noticing a turning point.
Not sure where or how, but some stuff seems to become less attractive whilst others are picking up on my interest scale..
Hmmm.. funny thing is.... whats peaking my interest again.. is the mundane and ordinary. the ones we tend to call sheeple.
Guess there is a learning there.....

Goodie!!

Empowering the sheeple means to empower oneself.

The mundane and ordinary is just as important as crisis and victory,

because it is the only starting point we have to move to the other end of the cosmos.

Hello Villagers, yep it's been awhile since stopping by. So Here and Now i just finished watching this. Awesome Cinematography. If you haven't watched it. Enjoy my Kolas.

Awesome! I got halfway, hope to finish it tonight. It is very dense, I feel like I've watched 20 movies already.

[dan33]

That's an outstanding tv ad. I'm sure that's not the first time i've "embedded" on this thread.

Please, PTB, would all of you, f$$$$g us, with a little sense of humor? :argue:

I never use English pronouns denoting masculine and feminine. It is a bit hard to do. Especially writing about God. "He" can't be used, so it becomes "the divine". But how do you say "himself"? That has to become "themselves", mixing the plural with the singular. It is awkward but I feel it is very important not to denigrate women with our patriarchal language. The memes have to be broken. Only way is to be the break.

Same goes for so many things in our lives. Time to stand up and say "no".

[Mark]

I really love tv series and some characters are dark side. I see these characters from the distance. Like the plot or the acting.

I saw Jack Weber on THE FOLLOWING. His role is a psychotic. Recalling his role in MEDIUM, I peed laughing seeing him on that character. The drama becomes a comedy.

Jack Weber now plays in Hell on Wheels, a Western about the building of the Transcontinental Railroad back in the late 1800s. Another great show. His character is pretty hardcore there as well. And convincing. I remember him from Medium too and these roles where he plays these murderous characters are such a contrast. Testament, I guess, to his skills as an actor. :)




SUPERNATURAL has many members from the X FILES series. Producers and writers.

Ha. That is funny, I did not know that but now that you tell me I can see it. I have watched every episode of Supernatural. I am amazed that they have been able to keep it going for 10 seasons. But then, it encompasses so much, just like the X-files. A bit more of a sense of humor in Supernatural than the X-files though, which is a large part of why it is so endearing I think. Sam and Dean, and even Crowley, the King of Hell, are just so well-drawn and executed.

I am god, you are god, this is god. To be separate is to diminish, to retard the self, to damage the individualization of self.

The idea of a separate god was created by a incarnate tied to an avatar, an unrealized being in an avatar, one with an incomplete view, one ruled by the control system of the car, so to speak. something close to being an animal and further from the realized human. But, being smart enough in it's slanted view, to trick you into believing the same, to cull or shift your path from moving naturally into being realized...to remaining in a childhood of immaturity...smart enough to make it circular and locked/closed/blind. Manipulation via and with - the incomplete and emphasized density of the animal/avatar.

That about +99% of the humans on the planet are children. Unseparated. At the fundamental level, instinctual thought creation and expression... and tied to body/mother.

The reason this is, is that at the higher intellect levels, of a natural intellect that is not clouded ie, ~150-~200IQ and more (and unclouded), the system of incarnation becomes clear, and there is probably (in my estimation) no point of being of an avatar or of this dimensional reality, in order to learn anything. IMO, at IQ of 250 or so, there is no point at all, except as possibly...entertainment.

The next domino you will find in that line of logic..is..in all likelihood, inter-dimensional and interstellar races that we may run into.... the larger or possibly many of them.....will probably be virulent and unrealized.

It does not matter if it is some million of years old civilization or whatnot, the blindness would simply be more ingrained, ie the fundamental aspect, the reason of their still hanging around here....

Whenever I look at sci-fi and also listen to those speaking of the interstellar wars out there going on I think of this also. These are consumer cultures, just like ours. Based upon resource extraction and exploitation. The mentality must be much the same and therefor, as you say, representative of unrealized cultures. In speaking about it with Jeffrey, who continues to write amazing discourses that speak to the inhabitance of human bodies with different parasitical forms that may also represent astral parasites (i.e. Archontic) the prevalence of this type of super-conscious consumptive behavior and lower energetic siphoning and the patterns of thought and action they imply may be indication of the universal distribution of this type of consciousness, and, perhaps, also, a universal infection of the Archontic nature to include other species out there in the Cosmos who are similarly infected. Being millennia and eons older than Terran humanity, though, as you also say, the patterns are much more ingrained...and perhaps, irreversible.

Dear Amethyst, I feel with you. All I can say, is: Whatever comes up, talk to it ! Talk to the blistery, to the rashes, to the virus, talk even to the antibiotics you took in or to the vaccine (I mean to the serum, the substance, to the spirit of the substance), say everything you feel (no matter how bad or ridiculous or childish it sounds) and the important thing: talk out loud. Ask them, who they are, what they want/need, why they are there (as you do with spirits). Then feel, if there is some kind of presence in the room.
Everything that exists, is spirit, a spiritual being, even the oddest things, and you can talk to them like to your friend or a visitor sitting next to you. communication is everything.

Maybe you want to make a compromise or a compact with them (f. e. dear virus - here you are. I understand that you have to stay somewhere, I know your origin is god/the source/the divine too, welcome in my body. I ask you to do me no harm, not to interfere with my health, if you need something tell me, let's establish a good relationship).

If this sounds strange, funny, ridiculous, that's because of my poor English (I know what a pleasure it is reading an elegantly written, succinct text and how boring it could be following a stammering). I wish you the best, Amethyst, may all the beneficial and helpful spirits be with you.

And Wolfie came last night... if someone can tell Paula that he's doing fine, I think it would make her happy.

Hello to Samsara/Moonlight and thank you to The Purple Lama.

Much gratitude for your message. I can’t recall if it was the beginning of last week or the end of the week before because time’s been like an accordion. I went to one of Wolfie’s favorite spots which I’ve avoided since his passing. It’s the same one where I share and connect the with you and looking up for ET’s. I sent you a hello with inner knowing you’d receive it.

Wolfie’s been gone for seven months and I still have automatic responses to his routines. It was a little bit ago that I finally washed his nose prints off the car window. We still visit, though not as much.

Your dream visit, confirms that’s it’s time to release Wolfie's ashes in order to ceremoniously wash any lingering traces of grief, abandonment, betrayal from past relationships. And the recent discovery of deeper patterns and understandings of my part in the play.

May the co-creations align with the harmony and rhythms of your life pulse and heart. Sending blessings and hugs your way. xo

Love,
Paula <3

My oldest is the only other family member who is interested in what is actually going on with the planet.

My youngest and wife don't want to have anything to do with it :lalala:


I have shared a number of things but have not tried going that far down the rabbit hole with them.

Always a parent's balancing act in wanting the "innocence of youth" to be protected yet wanting to pass along what you have learned over the years ...


I was quite naïve of the ways of the world until 9/11 ... much much older than my children.

Magical Almanac – November 2014

Bob Makransky’s occasional ezine of astrology and magic

Can You Change Your Destiny? – Configurations III

* * * * *
Can You Change Your Destiny?

No, you can’t. Next question? Oh, I see, you want me to expound on that one a bit. Well, you’re in lots of luck because that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
One of my favorite spiritual books is Dr. Michael Newton’s Journey of Souls, in which he decribes how people choose the basic lineaments of their lives – the script (events that will unfold in a given life) and supporting cast of characters they will interact with – before they incarnate. And the life they subsequently live on earth is merely filling in the paint-by-numbers picture that they’ve already sketched out before they were born. Of course, there is some free will involved – the decision of whether you’ll have pizza or sushi tonight is within your compass of choice. But all the big stuff – your destiny – is unalterable. All you can do is accept it, or blow it. That’s the only choice you have (and it’s also the reason why you can’t get your prayers and spells – such as for wealth or finding true love or curing your illness – to work: you gotta accept the big “D” first). And to not blow your destiny, you have to get rid of all your self-pity.
To give an example from my own life, before I was born I apparently chose to suffer a tremendous amount of emotional pain in this lifetime. That was the reason that I incarnated – to suffer a tremendous amount of pain. I mean, it wasn’t humongous or anything – nobody ever beat me or raped me, and I always had enough to eat – but basically the first 50 years of my life really sucked. Lotta Blue Meanies. Looking back on the whole thing from my present vantage point, I can see clearly that there’s nothing I could have done to change anything: that’s what this life was all about, that’s why I incarnated – to suffer a tremendous amount of pain. There’s nothing I could have done to change that. The only choice I had was to either accept that destiny and work through it by facing up to and dealing with (taking responsibility for) that pain by feeling it; or try to run away from it.
In this probable reality I tried to run away. Like the ghosts of Cosmo Topper, I happen to have spirit guides who are kind enough to provide me with a running commentary on my quotidian existence as it unfolds, and an after-the-fact critique in restrospect; and at the time I was in the greatest pain and desperation they were indeed telling me to hang in there and endure it. But the pain was so intense and the escape hatch looked so easy, that I jumped through it.
Did I thereby escape my destiny? No. To borrow an analogy from integral calculus, the total amount of pain I had to endure was the same as if I hadn’t tried to run away from it. The only difference is that – while the amount of daily pain I was suffering did indeed decrease – nonetheless the thing went on for a much longer time than it would have had I stuck it out. In fact, I lost twenty years of my life by trying to run away from my destiny: had I hung in there (in the painful situation) as my spirit guides recommended, I would have gotten to more or less where I am now twenty years ago, whilst I was still relatively young and undecrepit. Not to mention various other advantages that would have accrued had I not tried to run away, since in so doing I screwed up some important things which are now unscrewable.
Do I regret the decision I made back then? Yes and no. I was in tremendous pain – no question about that; and running away did lessen it (even if it prolonged it). So I can’t really blame myself. I’m still on track – just a few stations behind. Moreover, it’s a matter of the issue of my view of what my job description is according to me; versus the Spirit’s view of the matter. According to me, I did the right thing – I don’t see that it’s my responsibility to endure a clearly hopeless imbroglio with a psychopath who’s fighting me tooth and nail. But the Spirit obviously had a different opinon of what my job was. The upshot is that I don’t have much time left in this life, and I certainly will not succeed at accomplishing the task I set for myself that day in 1968 when I was tripping on mescaline and my roommate started reading to me from one of Daisetz Suzuki’s books and I made a certain promise to myself.
But the whole exercise (i.e., my life) did bring home to me the fundamental point: you CAN’T change your destiny – you can only accept it.
The question arises, when is it your destiny to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune; as opposed to when it is your destiny to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them? That’s what I use spirit guides for – that kind of info. I have no idea how people who don’t rely on spirits figure things out (whether guides, or Jesus, or Krishna, or whomever). It’s hard enough even when you do have spirits telling you what to do.

“Fears are natural; ... all of us experience them and there is nothing we can do about it. But on the other hand, no matter how frightening learning is, it is more terrible to think of a man without an ally, or without knowledge.” – Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan

Now I want to point something out here: it is possible to change your destiny if you are an impeccable, selfless warrior whose intent has been honed to a fine edge by losing all trace of self-pity and who has the intuition (or the ability to follow spirit guides’ advice) to spot those little “cubic centimeters of chance” which pop up serendipitously as they arise, and thereby take complete command of your destiny. However, if you’re just an average schmuck you’ll blow it – either you won’t see the cc of chance when it pops up; or you’ll see it (as I did) but blow it anyway since you haven’t the intent (faith and strength of will) to act on what you know. At each fork in the road you’ll do something dumb and just act out the pre-incarnation scenario.

“[Don Juan] was not being cruel. He simply did not have any more human feelings. To him everything was equal. He had accepted his fate.” – Carlos Castaneda, The Second Ring of Power

It must be pointed out that everybody’s destiny is different – it’s not everybody’s karma to do the Buddha bit. As I point out in The Great Wheel, your destiny – chosen before you were born – is to feel certain feelings. That’s all. Not to accomplish anything in particular in the world: not to be successful, or a failure, or mediocre and just get by; not to become enlightened, or to be saved and go to heaven; but just to feel. To feel triumphant, or defeated; or impoverished, or affluent; or cruel, or victimized; or helpless, or powerful; or fearful, or brave; or lustful, or repressed. Or in pain. Each life has a feeling of its own, which is like the sum total of all the feelings felt during that life. In different probable realities and lifetimes different facets of destiny are felt. In lives in which you take the easy way out and follow socially-approved images and expectations without asking too many questions or reflecting upon meanings, you tend to get hung up on a low level of destiny; whereas in lives and probable realities where you make great personal sacrifices for other people’s sake with no thought of reward, you get a little bit higher. And in the lives in which you open your heart completely, you get a whole lot higher.
The important thing to remember is that incredibly important life decisions, which influence whether your subsequent life will be joyous or miserable, exultant or crushed into the mud, are often (usually, for most people) made in thoughtless moments … “ha ha.” Destiny can and does change in a twinkling during any given lifetime or probable reality. At least I knew what I was doing when I threw my life down the sewer (for what that consolation is worth). Most people never have a clue (till they die).
The extent to which people don’t let themselves feel feelings – the extent to which they are in denial and repressing their true feelings (as society has taught them to do), or the extent to which they are running away from themselves – is the extent to which they are obstructing their destinies. Yet this can also be called their destiny: “they also serve who only stand and wait.” The Willy Loman’s and Warren Schmidt’s of the world – those who feel timid and defeated – also have a destiny; and that destiny is no less noble or ennobling than the destiny of a Jesus or Buddha. Sometimes it is people’s destiny to suffer unspeakable pain, or boredom and “meaninglessness”. When you run past life regressions you see that most of your own lives have been like that. It’s all the same – there’s no such thing as a wasted life or a wasted lesson, although certainly there are wasted opportunities. In my role as a priest of the Mayan gods I’ve been privileged to witness many other people’s life lessons, which consist mainly of blown opportunities; and needless to say I’ve blown many, many opportunities myself. Only when you can truly feel that you’ve blown your destiny (instead of covering your ass and blaming other people; or wallowing in self-pity) can you truly MOVE ON.
Next question....

[Violet]

That is a smooth text with a nice choice of words, all the while balanced with humour. And it is a weighty subject. I don't like the idea of fixedness but it is somewhat the same as me not liking the idea that sweets do make you fat in the end, and then observing that the idea is a reality.
I used to live in a place that nobody likes and back then it bothered me. I wanted to upgrade and I did, and again and so on...Now I'm back where I started, living in the same place that after decades still nobody likes...But this time is different because I stopped caring and maybe even, I changed my mind. The experiences from the beginning to the end of this moving circle have taught me many things. One: I was sent back here for a reason that I'm still to understand. I was born here. This is a return to my source. And it seems that by my own obstructing the process, I've delayed the outplay of the reason by many years. But it's ok, I don't pity myself. I know, I accept and foremost, I've learned to listen (better at least).

Nonetheless, I allow for a take on life that has more parameters to move in significant directions. Ultimate destinations, besides death, are probably fixed.

Fait divers:
- No news from Fay (sponsor child) in India yet. Must probably wait until Christmas for letter, as indicated by leaflet. It appears she likes to draw :cheer2:
- Now had two cats in my garden this week. Still figuring out whether they come out of the pipes or fall/jump from the roofs but cat's don't fall :p Blocking the grids.
- Halfway through knit winterscarf (might post shabby mobile phone pic soon, you know that story already)
- Birthday baking tomorrow. My sister's doing one of these

http://bin.snmmd.nl/m/1a1wdrlpgsgu_wd640.jpg

and I'm making smarties muffins

http://aspoonfulofsugardesigns.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Colourful+Cupcakes+1.jpg

and we're basically all going to get fatter in some way after this.

I did not watch any movies this week, nor last week. It's become a rare event. I made an exception for Samsara which was new and very rich for me. I made some screenshots as inspiration for future drawings. This night I dreamt of a lionman. He was a regular man, dressed casual but with long golden hair and a feline face. I did not experience him as dangerous, quite on the contrary. He felt like a very good friend, very friendly and with a sense of humour. He went to the skyscraper building where a man was waiting for him in the office. It was a man in a suit and he knew how to handle these feline hybrids. He demonstrated on a model skull the knuckles on the back of the head and how when rubbed they caused the skull to open. First it seemed that the lionman was going to let the suitman rub his skull but then he changed his mind and left the building...

It seems that Genesis in the seventies were experienced as too lecturing by the large audience and that is probably why they adapted their style. This video is - estimation - from somewhere halfway through the transition.

The last I can remember is: she's got a body under that shirt, which probably doesn't do Genesis and their earlier greater messages any good.

Just watching this becomes an exercise in fearlessness.....

A future without fear.

I wondered about the shock absorbers…on the bike and the body. Then I thought, “Oh, yeah. I remember. Youth.”

This is a closer depiction of me than to goat rider who flies without wings. Only I'd have a back pack rather than a basket for Toto.

On this 11/11, it feels like TRUTH has had just about enough of being buried and obscured, I feel it everywhere around me, itching to burst forth from nearly every being I encounter. I feel the aggression against it will not stand, that the deception has gone on too long...it's balancing time:

Here and Now just watched this video from one of my YouTube Buds. I Wish to share with this village. ;) Enjoy!

Time is a variable now, it cannot be measured and clocked any longer. We can change, bend and move time. As time collapses.... new concepts, ideas, inventions and alternatives (Timelines) are bombarding the mass psyche of the planet every few moments.

I had to look up “tweaked out”.

Yes, a couple of months ago, I cleaned out about 70% of my go-to-YouTube subscriptions. For the last month, I hardly check the rest. Like TV that I haven’t had for 5ish years now, it set a negative tone on to how I began or worse...ended my day.

YouTube does not match my reality.

Seems more familiar than "tweet" and "twerk" (I'll spare the images on that one ... regardless of source ...)

...

but ... I am getting ... older ...

Y’all obviously never had a tweeker in your life…you’d be as disgusted I am with America’s love of “Breaking Bad”. I like Bartley’s take on the worst drug ever (http://www.whale.to/a/methamphetamine_h.html)(well, maybe tied with the opiates…)

Seems I paid several hundreds of dollars in my college daze for that feature on my stereo speakers???

I remember years ago having dreamed with the credit titles of a film about "Crowley". Credits circulated from the bottom to up. Pastel shades like old Disney movies, but the lettering style was shocking.All letters ending like knives.

A movie about Aliester Crowley??? I would NOT be surprised to see that one day. He would be the hero of course. Or is that anti-hero? We have many of those these days. :)

I would like it to be a non-gimmicky film. Almost a documentary. View from outside. With comments from Krishnamurty, Gurjieff, Castaneda... etc... and Crowley himself. That would be Wonderful.

Casting:

Having a problem with seriousness at the moment ... forgive me ... I step back and embrace another song from ulli's suggested list of good ones ...
