Here and Now...What's Happening?

[RunningDeer]

Hi Paula and the rest of the gang,

I'm back. I had computer problems, lost my password, got lazy until I read Bill's newsletter. Got inspired to reestablish my password. I have never quit reading your awesome posts. Look forward to bonding with you.

Thanks Paula for your message! I sent you one back. I hope you got it! It's been so long since I sent one!

In the meantime, I am now a grandfather at the ripe old age of 63+! A grand daughter! Ellie Kate.

Everyone have a blessed and safe Thanksgiving!

Take care!
Roy

Hello, hello, Roy,

Lucky Grandpa Roy, and lucky granddaughter, Ellie Kate. Congrats! I look forward to your posts. Blessed and safe holiday to you and your family, as well.

Hey 1: My, my...aren't we moving in leaps and bounds. You see stuck? I see growth.
What a powerful woman you are.
Some men are...well - stupid.
And blind.

I agree

This morning one of my best friend's - a 30 years friendship, and an American in NH - well, her husband died. Although we did not like each other at first, we had grown to appreciate and like each other a lot through time, him and I. I am sad. It is as a life page that is being fliped, ( gosh it is much clearer in my French brain). As if older time or time to be old, has shown up today

I will do what I can for her and surely visit in NH very soon.

'Thanksgiving' is not celebrated here where I live, in the same sense that it is in other places.
But....how they do 'give thanks' is beautiful. The olives and almonds have been collected, and what remains on the trees is free to all who need and want.
The oranges are ripe, juicy and full of contained sunshine...they too await any ones needs.
Many years ago I asked the local farmers why they did this, they replied that after nature had given such abundance, they would return the favour as a 'thank you'.
My thanks giving to you all, everyday.

Here's a poem by Adrienne Rich that I've been thinking about today. I bring it here to the village because it might be of interest, both to the members here, and to the many non-member readers who visit us on a daily basis.

"Prospective Immigrants Please Note"

Either you will
go through this door
or you will not go through.


If you go through
there is always the risk
of remembering your name.


Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen.


If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily


to maintain your attitudes
to hold your position
to die bravely


but much will blind you,
much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?


The door itself makes no promises.

It is only a door.

-Adrienne Rich

So, what happened on 24/11? Well, for sure nobody died (at least not because of the strike). In fact, I'm curious now to find out who injected that fear into the media weeks prior to the strike. It was ridiculously peaceful. The most aggressiveness apparently came from the photographers themselves who - led by the belief that indeed someone was going to die - had piled themselves up so densely thereby being more of an obstruction than the strikers.

And the peacefulness in all this was also so ridiculous that it's hard to not suspect it was perhaps designed to be that way. Whereas the previous strike kept on lingering in the news for over a week, this (much-feared) strike quickly disappeared. I only read that labour unions are talking to employers. Rest of the news is about how you can easily cut lemons, the king giving a sneak peak into his private life and how a famous costume got auctioned for 3 million dollars. This is a selection, but the general impression remains comparable.

Our local consumer rights defender, a while ago started compiling a dossier against a couple of big names in the pharma industry to do with an eye medicine/injection. Now they are taking it to court. The brand version costs 800 EUR whereas the generic version is only 40 EUR. The pharma giants are accused of plotting to block access to the cheaper version. Apparently doctors in Belgium (and some other European countries) are not allowed to inject with the cheaper version. And that is an unnecessary financial burden to our National Health system. More info: http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws/binnenland/1.2160148.

In rest there is peace and also knowledge. Yes, Ulli. This reminded me of my high school teacher for German whose last note to me was: Über alle Gipflen gibt es Ruhe, an allusion to both an intellectual restlessness he too must have spotted and of course Goethe's Wanderer's Night Song:

Above all summits
it is calm.
In all the tree-tops
you feel
scarcely a breath;
The birds in the forest are silent,
just wait, soon
you will rest as well!

(1780)

I've made progress by demanding that thoughts must also lead somewhere. In the past it was great to think and being able to constantly challenge the mind with new and newer ideas but not all of them materialise into something worth the effort of thought. You can allow such deviance for some thoughts, but not for all your thoughts. After all you must also live in this world, with the people and make a living. There is a pause button.

Back to the shapes and their connection to 3D life. This was the starting point which from a 3D observer's perspective is probably the most ready approach. In these shapes formed between the stars and planets, energies run and reflect in the lives of the people that these planets in detailed yet transitory ways relate to (Note to self: in transition is change, in change is opportunity).

Three shapes spun in my head as I was thinking about all this, relating to opposition, trine, square. And in the background that other machine was running (energy flow in Qi Gong and its stimulation and direction by ways of certain movements that in their own turn cause for the body to take on a certain shape that will facilitate the passage of that energy (do correct me if interpretations need correcting). And the other machine in metaphysics (three in one and four in three).

All the abstract thinking went out with me on my bike (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGsn84uIXWA) (someone must write on why biking stimulates thought, if not already done) and I stood waiting at a stoplight. I looked at the light poles which earlier already had grabbed my attention as mirrors of one another and illustrations of what it might be to look at a perfect reflection from a parallel universe (thank you, Carmody).

(split the pole in your mind, or stand on each side of the road)

Then turning my head, there was a bridge dividing traffic (like so):
http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2008/03/large_traffic.jpg

On the bridge itself one row was going to the left, from my point of view, the other right next to it, in opposite direction, to the right.

That imaged disappeared and my mind replaced it with:
http://www.drstandley.com/images/zodiac/Opposition.bmp

Beneath it, other streams of cars were doing the same thing intersecting the stream on the bridge and, again in opposition to each other.

http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/essays/cross.gif

And I thought of all that energy being swept so violently at high speed in all these opposing directions and how chaotic that was and that it was no wonder that when traffic gets that dense, problems must arise, all of a sudden right in front of me a car loudly blows the horn, for the dangerous maneouver the car before him did. I quickly concluded that collection of opposing and intersecting movement to also be a big square and pursued my course.

This was before you wrote about pulling out energies into matter, Araucaria. And how synchronicities might work. Very interesting.

Well, according to Jung's standards I must be INFJ. Which cross is that?

The revolution of the sexes might seem far away for those who already went through it in the sixties but I see it coming back in different layers of society.

Belgian society is very diverse. We have the autochtonous Belgians and many minority groups from different origins, some already in their 4th generation Belgian soil offspring. A lot of these minority groups come from a patriarchal system.
A war of the sexes became apparent to me in the local muslim society from an early stage. This has - up until today - been misinterpreted both from the inside and the outside. Araucaria's last post comes as a great light bulb for what I wanted to convert to words, because it has a lot to do with that, in my opinion, not in other people's opinion.

I'll start with the last one. In other people's opinion from within the communities, both girls and boys are not "what they used to be". There is a general disappointment from the previous generation in the new generation, which is classical. Old people nagging about youth. Women are becoming too modern and men are less in control.
From the outside it's an even bigger soup as women are - despite their revolutionary acts (as seen from within) - still considered to be acting so submissive in the light of religion and male dominance. Men are considered big hypocrits because they don't stick to their own rules and they don't respect women.
So, these are the views: from within and from without.

This is what I can see. Women are pushing to be more of a woman (this sadly exclusively externalises in dress, hairdo and make-up) and they also want to be more of a man (this sadly exclusively externalises in wanting to be in control (of finance, friends, whereabouts...) and refusing to answer to anything, hence massive rate of divorce). After reading your post, although these women acknowledge both (aspects of) female and (aspects of) male part in themselves, there is no harmony. I think it's because even though they're willing to balance both in themselves (and better after they get a completer vision of what it means to a be a woman and a man, now that idea is still too superficial), they are totally denying the male outside of themselves. He is the culprit, he is the bastard and he is passé composé.

The male, on the otherhand sees that it's not that easy anymore to be with a woman. She has higher demands that were not spread gradually over decades of mild (?) revolutionary behaviour - like the Western sexual revolution, count from late fifties, sixties and ongoing still. That's a sloppy fifty years (half a century) for a man to get the point. He fears that all this is going to further decrease his control and surely to be considered a man he must retain control and certainly not have it taken over by a woman. As opposed to women, men will not make a passé composé out of women, because they can't do without (nature's programmation and offspring, I think). This is probably where these men struggle the most. It's hard to put a figure on it because it only started existing from the moment I started paying attention to it, so I'm going to guess, that the biggest cracks in our patriarchy started in the late eighties.

The biggest problem in all this, I find, is that this trend is not acknowledged, by no one. Not from within, not from without, from both sides all of this is "just" problematic behaviour and "can they finally make up their minds".

So, when these males and females are not finding each other, nor themselves, frustrations arise. That's where we are now. And I appreciate that text because to me it shows that we, from the opposing genders, must both learn to value each other again instead of seeing each other as ennemies. And this is microscale, but it's happening on a larger level too, in the whole world. Just look at TV, women want to be more of (what TV thinks) a woman (should be) and males...well, going by TV I don't know what males are supposed to be, which I guess explains for their greater confusion.

You are doing a great job, Violet, using real life imagery to take you into the abstract thinker's zone.
I'm reminded of the time when I saw the movie Lost in Translation, where Bill Murray sings those three Karaoke songs, all of which were by three people I had once known as close friends, I.e. Bryan Ferry, Chrissie Hyndes, and Nick Lowe, who I was actually spending the weekend with when he wrote the song Bill Murray sang, and which later was made famous by Elvis Costello. The title was "What's so Funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding". So I was blown away. At the time I didn't even know that Nick's song had become widely known.

So I needed to figure out how such synchronicities happen, and thought obsessively to get the answer. I've known quite a few famous people while I was at the top of my career but they were nothing but acquaintances.
But those three, in this Karaoke scene, were the only ones I actually hung out with, and who would remember me as an old friend.
So while trying to find the answer to this major synchronicity I was given the image of a figure eight, lying on its side, in the Alantic ocean, as the Gulf Stream, and which had fast ocean currents running along it.

And all those people who are artists, and free from survival constraints, would travel along this figure 8. While the great majority of people were in less fast moving ocean waters, staying in their spot, with nothing much moving them from there.
Like in the northern part of Barbados, where there are old people who have in all their lives only been twice down to Bridetown, the capital, which is less than twenty miles away.

Meanwhile those people who are used to traveling a lot, who are jet-setting, and not just business trips, I was given the answer that it is like traveling on the roller coaster of the Gulf Stream, bringing those warm Caribbean waters up north, then diving down, to return south, and thus forming a figure 8. Which was pretty much what I was doing when I still lived in London, and every winter went to the Caribbean.
And those who are on the exact same frequency will then meet again, where the two zeros, which the figure 8 is composed of, touch one another. Even if my body was at that moment in a Costa Rican movie theatre, and not much chance nor even desire to see the others again, our spiritual frequency will continue running into each other every so often, when we all coincide at the zero point of the Gulf Stream.
In an infinite universe this is bound to happen an infinite number of times.
Obsessive thought always brings results, if there is a sincere inquiry behind it.
Seek and you shall find.

Okay, people, off I go to transmute and transcend and, um, all that other stuff eaglespirit said. I think. I feel a little stronger today. I'm up and dressed, including my favorite tennies and comfy gray hoodie with the ripped pocket. Perfect attire for agility and kicking butt...unless boots would be a better choice...but really in the past few days agility has been more important.

And so that today won't kick my butt, I am setting my intention thus so. I will do my absolute best to right each wrong that crosses my path. To be all that those around me need, even if I don't have it in me I will Connect and let it Through me. I am the Hands and the Feet of Universe, I am Honored to be in this Role. I will Allow the Force of Divine Love as I am a Channel. I will Remember I am NOT Alone. I will Allow the Energy to Rise and Swirl, and I will Follow my Higher Guidance in Releasing this into the World I see.

I have removed every "try to" I first wrote.

Much Love, and may Peace and Strength accompany you on this day/night,

This is the first holiday season without my significant other. Miss him a lot. There are days when I go into shock still from the sudden loss of him and the loss itself, but they are getting further apart. There are times when I want to be alone or not have communications with anyone. The best thing I can do is have space and create space for healing....one day at time....one moment at a time.

Have been in recapitulation mode for the past few days. I can say that some of it has not felt very comfortable, but continuing to move through it I know is cathartic for my being. I'm being careful about not isolating my-self and am staying in touch with a few friends and of course staying in touch with the Village even if I don't post....
You guys and gals have been a source of positive support and healing for me. :grouphug:


Had a couple of surprises recently. A dear friend from back east came out to visit me and another dear friend of mine I've known for thirty years contacted me and is visiting with his family here for the holiday and wants to get together for lunch. Both of them are Geminis.


Love and hugs to you JB:hug:

One more thing about gender wars. I didn't know it was a sexual revolution when I first noticed the anomalies. It's like looking at an out of the ordinary foot command in a young child not yet knowing he's a future world champion.

Just recently I laid that puzzle after isolating the two parties and observing the individual wars.

Well, enough war talk.

That's interesting..as... a good friend of mine was involved in the creation of 'Superstition', in similar vein.

Probably the most amazing poem I have read. Sharing....



The Invitation
By Oriah Mountain Dreamer


It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
And if you dare to dream of meeting
Your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
For love, for your dream,
For the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
If you have been opened by life's betrayals,
Or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain,
Mine or your own,
Without moving
To hide it or fade it or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy,
Mine or your own,
If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
Without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself,
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see beauty
Even when it is not pretty every day,
And if you can source your own life
From its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure,
Yours and mine,
And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon,
"Yes!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair,
Weary and bruised to the bone,
And do what needs to be done for the children.

It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand
In the center of the fire with me
And not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you
From the inside
When all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone
With yourself,
And if you truly like the company you keep
In the empty moments.

96.66% of statistics are completely made up by the transmitter to emotionally manipulate the receiver. Approximately 4% of the time, statistics are based on something in our agreed-upon reality, which may even be actually quantifiable.

"The problem with statistics is, you never know if they're accurate," - 5-Star General George H. Washington, at the battle of Waterloo.

That quote originally reads as "internet quotes" rather than "statistics", but I trust the point is appreciated.


I'm the opposite..... am thinking about moving somewhere in S.America but am only looking at cool temp. high mountainous regions.

I hear the mountains of Chile can be quite nice,... plus they have indigenous Chinchillas running around! Imagine a herd of those little buggers scampering everywhere!

Happy thanksgiving!

So I was at the supplier ordering stuff.

The last thing on the order was 100 1" #8 pan head screws (Robertson, of course).
The counter guy asks what kind do I want, self tapping or self drilling.
I say, "Self drilling? How does the screw know where to drill?"

A got a blank stare.

There's no such thing as a self drilling screw. So he brings out the box from China and sure enough - self drilling screws! Yeah!

Sorry for the nonsequitur...

I was going to list the song 'too hot for my chinchilla', by tangerine dream, but it is a bad example of later TD's music.

but I did find this, which is more representative and on target.

Exit, ie, look through the bars and the blue tunnel, into the sky and see the stars. Indeed, 'Exit'..as it is the ascendant, the flow in time, the existence of ed time/space in representation....the ego filter strapped to the face of self, blocking the sight of all, filtering it.

The back cover. Moving toward and into the body:

[Robin]

Here & Now:

Contemplating the journey my book-writing endeavor has brought me on, and how much I've grown in such a short period of time. I am young and I feel that I have only entered the Truth Movement yesterday compared to some of the veterans who have been inter-weaved in this game for decades. I was only eleven-years-old when 9/11 happened, and I didn't know how to properly analyze the situation, and I was born and raised in a concentration camp (city) full of clueless people who didn't question anything.

I carried on to High School, and even went to college, solely to escape the prison that the city-life actually is. Even in college, not one single person offered the slightest hint about any conspiracy pervading our reality. I have always been open-minded, and always have been an empathetic person who understood the plight of the planet, the dangers of materialism, and the illegitimacy of government. If somebody were to come up to me and tell me about a conspiracy ten years ago, I would have listened, and I would have entered the Truth Movement strait away. But nobody ever did.

Since 2013 with my awakening, I have digested material that many people have spent decades studying. Every conspiracy, every Whistleblower, every researcher, every ancient text, that I have become aware of, I have spent hundreds of hours deciphering in just over a year. I have gone to conferences, spoken personally with military folks who confirmed all of my research, and have immersed myself deep into the Truth. I am young, but my brain has been thirsty for true information about the nature of our reality, and I am happy with my current mental fortitude. This sounds egoic, but I feel that I have come such a long way in such a short period of time.

I now feel a moral obligation to share what I know, in the best way that I can. My personal specialty has been the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, and I have deciphered his works to just about every single detail. This information is heavily occulted, and I know that this information needs to get out. I also realize the situation I'm placing myself in to write this book. There are tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of Tolkien fans all around the world, and there are scores of literary analyses of Tolkien's works written by Ph.D. researchers, philologists, historians, psychologists, and amateur scholars who have scratched their heads over his works for decades. The amount of literature written on Tolkien is astronomical, and sadly, their analyses are very far from what Tolkien intended with his work.

Not to mention the scores of fans who are sucked into the Lord of the Rings films. I estimate that I have now spent 316,530 minutes/5,275 hours/219 days of my life studying his works one way or another. I watched the films every two months for ten years because my sub-conscious was telling me that what I was watching was Truth, though I didn't fully know the details. When I stumbled across the New World Order stuff in 2013, I put two and two together and realized that what the Lord of the Rings, what I spent hundreds of hours up to that point watching with great intrigue, actually meant. I shed a few tears and my awakening began.

Now, here I am writing what I consider to be my magnum opus. In a year and a half, I have accumulated the knowledge to be able to convey, in a very broad and detailed perspective, to the average person what is happening on this planet. My book is going to cover just about every major conspiracy that I feel the average person needs to know about, along with the true history of humanity (as much as I know), with a detailed analysis of occult symbols, astrotheology, alchemy, and Biblical references, all while being taught through the Lord of the Rings (and other Tolkien works).

I'm shaking thinking about the task I've set myself on, and how this will be the most important thing that I do up to this point in this lifetime. I have to do it right, and I'm taking all precautions I can to be able to convey the information so the average clueless person will be able to understand. If I do it right, I can reach out to millions of people and at the very least plant a seed in their minds, which is all that I can hope for. My analysis will shatter most of their present perceptions of reality and what they perceived was Tolkien's message and intention with his works. All of the "professional" researchers will undoubtedly scoff at the analysis which will contradict their own analyses which they think is unmistakably correct. And what's funny is that this piece of work is being written by a farmer who is writing it in ALL of his free time, when he is not farming (which takes up a LOT of time). Not to mention the unwanted attention from certain people I'll receive...

I plan on self-publishing it, because I want the freedom to express everything that I need to without any limitations. Preferably, I'd give the finished work freely to society, but realistically, I do need some fake money at this point in my life. I feel guilty for wanting to charge people for the book, because I scoff at the fact that there are copyrights on just about everything, and I take the stance that Truth should be freely available to everybody at all times. I find myself thinking about the diatribe I'll undoubtedly receive for the apparent contradiction of charging money with the intention of wanting to share the Truth to people and seriously help people wake up, and while receiving criticism for self-publishing ("Oh, his book must be a load of rubbish if he couldn't even get it published with an established company!").

Anyway, instead of thinking about the future, I'd better actually make sure the book is written first! Thankfully, I have a cat that sits on my lap and keeps me warm and gives me support (and make me have to re-write a paragraph or re-open my document). ;)

Back to work,

Robin

The poet and mathematician Raymond Queneau once wrote a poem called Cent Mille Milliards de Poèmes (A Hundred Thousand Billion Poems) – 10 14-line sonnets written on separate strips of paper in such a way that you could take any 1st line with any 2nd line, any 3rd line etc. to form 10^14 different poems. Imagine, if you had a computer generate a different poem every day, it would take you 300 billion years to get through all hundred trillion. Alternatively you could give them to every man, woman and child on the planet: over 14,000 each :)
http://www.liberation.fr/livres/2014/11/21/l-oulipo-dans-une-forme-oulipique_1147974

Or again, you can visit a website that gives you the poems and their rhyming translations and will shuffle them as well:
http://www.bevrowe.info/Queneau/QueneauRandom_v5.html

Some would say the alternative media work in the same way. Just a dozen whistleblowers or experiencers telling their stories is enough to blow everyone’s minds millions of times over. Yet this is merely the quantitative aspect behind the qualitative experience of an hour spent reading 140 lines of poetry and triggering whatever synapses are appropriate for the time and place. Maybe we don’t have any real choice and are just part of the cosmic random number generator. If so, that is hardly anything to worry about; we may as well relax and enjoy the experience. Because we mustn’t forget: we are writing the poetry as well.

Yet another Pluto Uranus square coming up. Will this ever end?

Thought this shot of the Arenal volcano as seen across Lake Arenal in Costa Rica would help us (me) in seeing this transformational moment in a more positive light.

Could that explain an undefined surge of nervousness? Which planets should I look at, for this exercise?

[ulli]

The most typical nervousness aspect is a square or opposition from Neptune to Saturn. Also from Saturn to Neptune which is of shorter duration.
Mercury -Neptune aspects cause confusion, self doubt, hence they also could contribute. Plus one needs to look at the birth chart to see if a person was born with those aspects, which could then be a life long problem.

with my chart, such things always prove to be interesting.

As for posting the given thing, actually, I did.

I note that the slope (angle) of the Costa Rican volcano is very close to another known slope.

OK, just checked, one side of the volcano is 55 degrees and the great pyramid is 51.4. A second look had it seeming a bit wide.

[Violet]

The area around Mercury looks to be a bit tight now (no breathing space) with Saturn behind it and the sun in front (that is not combust yet, or is it?).

Does that play a role too, the packed-ness of an area on the wheel? (and then with big players like Saturn and the sun flanking it) or can planets be more spread and have the same effect just by the angles they form?

Another labour union strike day: today in East and West Flanders, Luik (Liège) and Namen (Namur). Train transport limited from and to these places/destinations. Industrial areas blocked as well Ghent harbour, in as much is possible. Seabruges harbour as well. Luik airport inaccessible. Cargo disrupted. Thalys and Eurostar traffic disrupted & cancellations.

Brave strikers: 4°C outside, not much change expected.

Morning coffee question: to judge the leader by the flock?

I only read the first post. This seems like a funny thread!

What am I seeing and sensing?

I am in a coffee shop. Odd, peculiar, human creatures fumble about in their confusion and conflicting impulses. Some make annoying noises when they gurgle their coffee. Others look high on prescription drugs. Some guy sounds like his throat is made of sandpaper and there is a dead rat lodged behind his tonsils. Poor rat...Outside the cold Candian weather is grey and windy. There is snow. EVeryone will soon be developing mood disorders as the lack of sunshine makes them depressed and miserable. The stress I see on people's faces will get worse as they start shopping for people. Then they will go to parties and overeat and get sick and drunk. One lady at the cash register always smiles at me. I love that about her. Just a normal lady, I think with a European accent. She makes direct eye contact, with no fear, and just wants to smile and be happy. And that is disarming. Things like that make me happy. I feel sick and tired in my stomach from lack of sleep and red wine, which they say is healthy, but I have decided to be strictly abstinent. I feel sick and miserable from drinking too much, which I thought was good, but with my compulsive personaltiy I must cut it out. I was a raw foodist for years, so I have that discipline and control to draw from if I want to. I quit chain smoking last year and remain firm and happy with that accomplishment...Outside the window I see a beautiful advertisement for gosh darned donuts and coffee...but they're not normal doughnuts..hell no, of course not, these are 'special' christmas freaking dougnuts. They must have put so much effort into that advertisement, it is so well done. So much human creativity and talent is siphoned into the Matrix. Oh well. I feel my body craving more coffee...Will buy another.

Thanks, yeah Canada is romantic and all if you live at a nice mountain resort town like me, filled with happy-go-lucky white-washed white folk in a sense... but I would LOVE to live in the tropics and just fish and eat mangos. It is way too cold. I've been to Florida and I never wanted to leave...one day...funny you're capricorn; we tend to be the boring, hard-working 'elder' types who are interested in the occult. I think Michael Tsarion and Jordan Maxwell are as well.

Yes, I've noticed it too. The moon is waxing, illumination now 82%, and it's in Aries.

Just musing about how I wanted to add a downer moment to the 'new star wars film' thread.

The downer would be that we are like 5 year olds imagining what it would be like to have the position of an adult, or an ancient primitive imagining what their life would be like, what their world would be like, if only they had the gun.

Our actual futures will be practically alien to everything we think we know and understand.

All those popular sci-fi futures, in film or print... for the most part, are primitive embellishments and projections of things that in that space, that place....cannot exist.

Our primitive projections, those futures imagined, and what will actually 'be', are mutually exclusive to one another.

Prof Stephen Hawking, one of Britain's pre-eminent scientists, has said that efforts to create thinking machines pose a threat to our very existence.

He told the BBC:"The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race."

His warning came in response to a question about a revamp of the technology he uses to communicate, which involves a basic form of AI.

But others are less gloomy about AI's prospects.

The theoretical physicist, who has the motor neurone disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is using a new system developed by Intel to speak.

Machine learning experts from the British company Swiftkey were also involved in its creation. Their technology, already employed as a smartphone keyboard app, learns how the professor thinks and suggests the words he might want to use next.

Prof Hawking says the primitive forms of artificial intelligence developed so far have already proved very useful, but he fears the consequences of creating something that can match or surpass humans.

Hi Daisy. That's wonderful that you took the leap.
No more lurking. You are a part of the Village now.

Welcome to Avalon, Lysaur. And to our thread in particular, which will hopefully provide you with a comfort zone, where you can reflect about how it feels to have your feet on solid ground while your head is sticking out into infinite space.
I love your post and being reminded about the cold up north.
It reminds me that I made the right decision when I settled in a tropical country.
By the way, I'm a fellow goat.

Happy Birthday

Oh, Violet, you bad girl. I was hoping to lose some weight before returning to Barbados.
Yum.

Happy Belated Anniversary, Ulli! That makes thrice a goat!

[1inMany]

I stuck my big toe out, seems to be fine. Poking my head out of my shell...seems safe enough.

Whew.

Congratulations to you & L, Ulli. That is a joyous occasion. Wishing you many more!

I've been thinking about you, nora. Thank you for checking in. I've been sitting by a good hot fire for a couple of days. And I thought of you every time I made a pot of soup. You, and marianne too. I hope you are getting your strength back, sweetie. (*waves to jb*)

Hey, look! We have a couple new villagers. This is quite exciting! Welcome to you both. I hope you keep sharing your here and now(s)...I really did quite enjoy the first ones.

All is Well, over Here...and Now. Colder than a witch's um...let me see if I can clean that up a little. It's colder than the frost on a champagne glass. Gee, that just doesn't have the same ring to it. Well, it's been cold here. Staying warm inside. Em is whistling, which is very nice. Not the whistling, but the fact that she is. After several Linda Blair moments over the weekend. Haha. Today M did her first college presentation. Actually, it was the first time she did a speech in front of a group of people. Nailed it. K is busy mom-ming. Little One lost his first tooth! And my here and now just morphed from here and now to there and then.

Seems I need a little more practice staying in the here and now. I guess I will be doing that, then. Just like I used to. :)

Much Love,

Thank you Ulli for bringing this up an to people's attention. It's a two-edged sword that has packed out well for Stephen Hawking and I appreciate his honesty to highlight the dangers as well.

I've been following the theme from a distance and as a youngster through what Asimov (link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov)) had to say about it (yes, science people can write too) long before Smith partook in i-Robot (link (http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/10400000/I-Robot-i-robot-10425040-1280-800.jpg)), which pretty much sums it up.

And we're leaving the fiction territory now. Just look around you. You may not recognise the robot in all your intelligent devices and that is because the manufacturer has opted not to choose that type of housing (yet).

Moving to Japan, which is known to have a negative attitude towards influx from (neighbouring) foreigners tout court. Even now when their population is getting older at a far more alarming rate than in other industrialised countries, they are not considering non-Japanese working forces to come help out in health services where help is much needed to support the increasing numbers of elderly.

Instead Japan has decided to invest in creating the ultimate robot for the greying population problem (link (http://www.industryweek.com/automation/robots-help-japans-aging-population)). That was 2011.

And that is an example of problem-solving on a societal level but there is also a more dangerous tendency in the field of AI where "problem-solving" is desired on an individual level. I will freely translate from this source (http://www.wetenschapsforum.nl/index.php/topic/184812-ik-weet-wat-ik-wil-maar-niet-welke-studie-optimaal-is-daarvoor/), taken from a Dutch science forum, an excerpt of what a young and ambitious lady had to say on the subject in a topic to do with choosing a scientific study field for college:

I want to do research in the transhumanist application of science far more than just to make a living. I have no other goals than "upgrading myself". For a start I would like to look into how I can upgrade my senses. I know that synthetic retinas already exist for the blind (...) I've talked to my professors about this subject and many of them see great potential in it. That is the reason why my fiancé is studying biomedical science, and also the reason I chose him.

Encoding data in the neural systems therefor is of most interest to me. If my fiancé does the biomedical part and my best friend does the technical aspect, then I can focus on the synthesis of these two areas, because I want to graduate interdisciplinary.

And then someone on the forum asks what surgeon is going to build in the upgrades in the lady's body:

I think finding a surgeon who'll do that (at a rewarding price) will be the easiest part of the task, if they are presented with a clear blueprint.

:eek:

Well, regardless of the meanwhile success or non-success of all these plans, it deeply worries me that these aspirations are expressed so casually and also reacted upon very casually and encouraged by people in the science field.

I miss a reply saying:

Woman, are you out of your mind?

I saw this post by Prince Ea today on Face Book. I quite like him :) and see him as doing a lot of good in this world. I had something to add to the part of the bigger picture truth to what he was saying (I posted it on my wall, not his page):

This is what he said:

"It's easy enough to be happy, when life goes along like a song// but the one worthwhile is the one that can smile, when everything goes all wrong" - Prince Ea

Here is my reply:

It is true that it's sometimes good to rise above our own and other's pain with smiles and laughter, I've done it many times, and so have many others....but also, I have cried in grief many times (mostly on my own in private) and so have many other people who have done both - it's about being "human"...joy and laughter, and grief and tears can be healing in different ways. Now some people are more honest in this way than others and/or have a more negative image in someone else's eyes (social stigma, for example) and can be treated as less or worse because of it...Sometime's it's best to not pick on people because of what you do and do not know about them and others...how much of it is to do with image and judgement and how much of it is to do with truth and love?

As Violet said in her (rather brilliant) post above
"It deeply worries me that these aspirations are expressed so casually and also reacted upon very casually and encouraged by people in the science field."
I've been worried about cutting-edge science all my life, that so many in the field lack spirituality, and now am beginning to realize that they might even be driven by AIs from other worlds already.
I can trust a science fiction writer more than I trust a scientist, although there is always a connection somewhere.

Amethyst, have you ever considered getting out of England?
People who wish to express how they feel in an honest way will always suffer more in that "stiff upper lip" culture.
Of course, most Western countries share that aspect, but England even more so.
I once read somewhere: the Brits take nothing seriously (I.e.eveything is ridiculed) except for sports.
And I also believe that a lot of crying goes on there, in secret, in their private spheres, and all alone.

Here in Costa Rica it's a bit of an opposite culture.
The other day I had quite a laugh. A friend had asked me what I had given my husband for our silver wedding anniversary, and when I told her a pair of grey socks she cracked up so completely that I had to follow suit and we both ended up laughing tears.
Thirty minutes later I was sitting alone in our car (while on our way home husband had to do a house call) and I realized that this old patient must have just died because of the crying women on both sides of the street, in their front garden, in the doorway.
And that emotional energy hit me so hard that I had to grab a tissue as well. It was dark, so they couldn't see me.
When my husband came out, after having done the death certificate I asked him if he didn't feel anything in that household. And he said 'sure, it is the hardest part of being a doctor. At least it wasn't a kid, or young parent who had died in there, but an 84 year-old man with a fractured hip and a massive stroke three months earlier. So the emotions were so mixed, that his suffering had ended and theirs was more of a cultural (dramatic) expression.
Culture is not your friend ~Terrence MacKenna.

[Wind]

I once read somewhere: the Brits take nothing seriously (I.e.eveything is ridiculed) except for sports.

Here people tend to take everything seriously, the energy field of the country might depress many, as Eckhart Tolle (from Germany) could say. Unless alcohol is involved (in excess amounts, I might add) and usually it is to break the ice. When you have cold weather and little sunshine half of the year, people tend to be mostly broody. When spring and early summer comes in April-May you can just observe how nature becomes alive, and the people too.

You never unfold all your dreams in one lifetime. There are always more.
The dreams I realized soon became old as new ones took their place.
First there was art, then fashion, then astrology, then religion,
then the big shift to discovering government cover-ups,
then reading and writing on discussion forums with friends all over the world,
while still maintaining my jewelry work to be financially independent.

Then the most important challenge of all...designing these two guest cabins
which can also work as a single family home.
No studying, neither engineering nor architecture,
except for the tutorials from Google Sketchup, a free design program
I recommend highly to all who want to get into designing their home, and even furniture.

All this while still living my firm belief, that community development and good neighborly relations is the way to go as a collective. Never judging people for still being regular church goers or denying UFO phenomena.
They will wake up when their time has come. But if I didn't share my own story, over and over, they would never get the inspiration to go after their own dreams. Someone has to show the way of infinite possibilities.
Attitude and faith is everything.

Here is a picture from two days ago of our construction...
the two cabins which are beginning to look more like one single mansion.

I've made progress by demanding that thoughts must also lead somewhere. In the past it was great to think and being able to constantly challenge the mind with new and newer ideas but not all of them materialise into something worth the effort of thought. You can allow such deviance for some thoughts, but not for all your thoughts. After all you must also live in this world, with the people and make a living. There is a pause button.

Back to the shapes and their connection to 3D life. This was the starting point which from a 3D observer's perspective is probably the most ready approach. In these shapes formed between the stars and planets, energies run and reflect in the lives of the people that these planets in detailed yet transitory ways relate to (Note to self: in transition is change, in change is opportunity).

Three shapes spun in my head as I was thinking about all this, relating to opposition, trine, square. And in the background that other machine was running (energy flow in Qi Gong and its stimulation and direction by ways of certain movements that in their own turn cause for the body to take on a certain shape that will facilitate the passage of that energy (do correct me if interpretations need correcting). And the other machine in metaphysics (three in one and four in three).

All the abstract thinking went out with me on my bike (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGsn84uIXWA) (someone must write on why biking stimulates thought, if not already done) and I stood waiting at a stoplight. I looked at the light poles which earlier already had grabbed my attention as mirrors of one another and illustrations of what it might be to look at a perfect reflection from a parallel universe (thank you, Carmody).
http://1.standaardcdn.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2014/01/09/juop.jpg?maxheight=416&maxwidth=568&format=jpg
(split the pole in your mind, or stand on each side of the road)

Then turning my head, there was a bridge dividing traffic (like so):
http://blog.oregonlive.com/breakingnews/2008/03/large_traffic.jpg

On the bridge itself one row was going to the left, from my point of view, the other right next to it, in opposite direction, to the right.

That imaged disappeared and my mind replaced it with:
http://www.drstandley.com/images/zodiac/Opposition.bmp

Beneath it, other streams of cars were doing the same thing intersecting the stream on the bridge and, again in opposition to each other.

http://www.digital-brilliance.com/kab/essays/cross.gif

And I thought of all that energy being swept so violently at high speed in all these opposing directions and how chaotic that was and that it was no wonder that when traffic gets that dense, problems must arise, all of a sudden right in front of me a car loudly blows the horn, for the dangerous maneouver the car before him did. I quickly concluded that collection of opposing and intersecting movement to also be a big square and pursued my course.

This was before you wrote about pulling out energies into matter, Araucaria. And how synchronicities might work. Very interesting.

Well, according to Jung's standards I must be INFJ. Which cross is that?

The revolution of the sexes might seem far away for those who already went through it in the sixties but I see it coming back in different layers of society.

Belgian society is very diverse. We have the autochtonous Belgians and many minority groups from different origins, some already in their 4th generation Belgian soil offspring. A lot of these minority groups come from a patriarchal system.
A war of the sexes became apparent to me in the local muslim society from an early stage. This has - up until today - been misinterpreted both from the inside and the outside. Araucaria's last post comes as a great light bulb for what I wanted to convert to words, because it has a lot to do with that, in my opinion, not in other people's opinion.

I'll start with the last one. In other people's opinion from within the communities, both girls and boys are not "what they used to be". There is a general disappointment from the previous generation in the new generation, which is classical. Old people nagging about youth. Women are becoming too modern and men are less in control.
From the outside it's an even bigger soup as women are - despite their revolutionary acts (as seen from within) - still considered to be acting so submissive in the light of religion and male dominance. Men are considered big hypocrits because they don't stick to their own rules and they don't respect women.
So, these are the views: from within and from without.

This is what I can see. Women are pushing to be more of a woman (this sadly exclusively externalises in dress, hairdo and make-up) and they also want to be more of a man (this sadly exclusively externalises in wanting to be in control (of finance, friends, whereabouts...) and refusing to answer to anything, hence massive rate of divorce). After reading your post, although these women acknowledge both (aspects of) female and (aspects of) male part in themselves, there is no harmony. I think it's because even though they're willing to balance both in themselves (and better after they get a completer vision of what it means to a be a woman and a man, now that idea is still too superficial), they are totally denying the male outside of themselves. He is the culprit, he is the bastard and he is passé composé.

The male, on the otherhand sees that it's not that easy anymore to be with a woman. She has higher demands that were not spread gradually over decades of mild (?) revolutionary behaviour - like the Western sexual revolution, count from late fifties, sixties and ongoing still. That's a sloppy fifty years (half a century) for a man to get the point. He fears that all this is going to further decrease his control and surely to be considered a man he must retain control and certainly not have it taken over by a woman. As opposed to women, men will not make a passé composé out of women, because they can't do without (nature's programmation and offspring, I think). This is probably where these men struggle the most. It's hard to put a figure on it because it only started existing from the moment I started paying attention to it, so I'm going to guess, that the biggest cracks in our patriarchy started in the late eighties.

The biggest problem in all this, I find, is that this trend is not acknowledged, by no one. Not from within, not from without, from both sides all of this is "just" problematic behaviour and "can they finally make up their minds".

So, when these males and females are not finding each other, nor themselves, frustrations arise. That's where we are now. And I appreciate that text because to me it shows that we, from the opposing genders, must both learn to value each other again instead of seeing each other as ennemies. And this is microscale, but it's happening on a larger level too, in the whole world. Just look at TV, women want to be more of (what TV thinks) a woman (should be) and males...well, going by TV I don't know what males are supposed to be, which I guess explains for their greater confusion.
Why riding a bike stimulates thought? Maybe it’s all about balance, between stronger and weaker: you press down on the pedal (stronger) and then bring it back up (weaker), mostly by pressing on the other pedal; this is done by coordinating the dominant leg (stronger) with the other (weaker); and it stimulates breathing in (stronger) and breathing out (weaker); and it stimulates your heart (diastole and systole); and presumably all this functions synergistically to improve coordination between your weaker and stronger hemispheres. Walking has a similar effect.

So masculine and feminine are just labels for two interacting forces, although many people identify overly with one or the other. I think the sexual revolution started much earlier, notably with two world wars that both decimated the male population and set the women to work in factories and offices. When fighting doesn’t kill you it… weakens you. And if one world war is not enough, another world war ought to be. But perversely, it had a strengthening effect on the womenfolk, since going out to work brought them greater freedom and financial independence. And it started in literature too. Sir Clifford Chatterley is a war cripple, but his injury, which leads indirectly to the awakening of the feminine in his wife, is merely the physical confirmation of the deeper impotence he already suffered from. And James Joyce, when asked what he did during the war, replied ‘I wrote Ulysses; what did you do?’ Ulysses is the homecoming, not from war but from an ordinary day in Dublin, where the central character is arguably Molly Bloom (Penelope), in whom the feminine is already fully awakened. Interestingly, both these novels came in for huge obscenity trials. Although the truly laughable charges of pornography were dropped, the general public, now overloaded with the real thing, is still not properly attuned to this century-old paradigm shift. We are still waiting for war to go on trial for obscenity.

When Ulysses returns home after twenty years, he naturally comes in for an ID check. Penelope instructs her servant to move her marriage bed to accommodate him. He tells her it can’t be done because he made it himself and one of the legs is a living olive tree. In other words, the sacred marriage is at once immovably grounded and very much alive. Ulli’s wedding anniversary is an excellent time to remember that paradox. Many people have learned how to break the bond, untie the knot, cut off the ball and chain, which is a useful first step if that is all it meant to be in a relationship, but they still need to tap into the life source.

The Jung test as I described it only partly overlaps the one you seem to be using, Violet – something like here? http://www.16personalities.com/articles/our-theory
The F-I-S-T corresponds in your system to T/F (thinking-feeling) and N/S (intuitive-observant/sensation), while the introvert/extravert and judging/prospecting components are left to one side. Also there is no relative weighting to your N/F, so I cannot tell which of F or I you would have at the top as your strong suit and which of T or S at the bottom, so you could be IFTS or FIST. Strikes me thinking is hardly a ‘weak suit’ of yours :) (Interesting the words these letters produce: FITS, FIST, STIF(f), SIFT, TIF(f)S.)

Here is Glori, in all her Glory. Transformed.
A miracle that she survived at all. Everyone here, a big thank you for your healing vibes.

Been trying to be quiet and rest, but life keeps happening and pulling me along with it, and it's too much not to share with you all.

Gorgeous picture of Glori! A miracle.

Amethyst, like you I do my crying alone. It's usually cathartic and helpful, all the inner drama over and washing away. I think the climate and light definitely bears on feeling up or down emotionally. In the fall when I lived up north, I was diagnosed with S.A.D. and had a bright light I sat under for 15 min. each morning in the dark months. It really worked. But haven't needed it til this year, since moving south. It's a mix of all that's happening to you. This year I maxed out and am going back to the bright light.

My mom broke her hip/fell on Monday, and had surgery yesterday. She's walking a bit already, will go to rehab and expects to be okay again in time. She was 88 last week.

Ulli, I have a transit that Robert Handy calls 'toughen up' -- Pluto trine Saturn, from last February, through 2015. That explains a lot. I wonder if others are having a similar tough transit too... maybe not pluto-saturn, but something challenging. Believe me, I know it can seem overwhelming. If you need help, let me know. Not that I can do much by myself, but there is a group whose work is magnified by working together.

1inMany, your smile brightens up a mile. Treasure all those moments.

Meeradas, I'll never get through all the reading if you keep showing up with more 'not to be missed' books. (thanks though!)

This year my group at work (5 females) are going out for Christmas lunch. We don't always take the time, but I asked that we do this year. My last year here at Christmas, and they all rolled their eyes ... LOL.

My work has sent me plants and vases of flowers this past year. This time it's an edible arrangement ... chocolate covered fruit. Oh my. Nobody is home to receive it, so I asked for delivery here at work. Each and every villager, please come over and help me enjoy them....

Dearest Paula,

Many a time I have poured my soul out here, for God and everybody to see, and felt like deleting it later. So many reasons for this.

I heard you. I love you. I wish I could sit beside you in person and listen. I would give you a hug. A real hug, not those sideways imitations teachers have to do. A real one. From one sister to another.

Much Love,

I felt too vulnerable to leave that post. My first line of defense is to be strong. I do strong really well. I even fool myself.

I have a feeling that I’ll bury most if not all of my siblings. There’s a part of me that’s really angry about that. I’m tired of telling myself that it’s their life choice, so deal with it. Stop being so judgmental.

At Thanksgiving siblings were out doing one another with their stories of gout, kidney stones, border-line diabetes, blood pressure and cholesterol meds.

They believe it’s because of the Irish genes. I’ve spouted off words like Bruce Lipton, Epigenetics and “Biology of Belief”. I’ve emailed health and food products that I’ve had success with. It’s hard to draw the line between helping others or share when someone asks.

This Thanksgiving, they asked some basic questions, but when there’s a room full of denial, it’s easy to joked it all off track. I suggested that they email me because I couldn't remember the name of the product(s). No one followed through. No one ever does. In the meantime, they continue to make stupid jokes about my lifestyle as if they have any damn clue. What they don’t know is that I get why they do it. In fairness, the jokes are less than they use to be.

A good thing happened with my niece. In private, I explained about aspartame while she poured out a diet coke. She cut me off in mid-sentence and said she didn’t want to hear it. Awkward... It was out of character for her. I finished off that it causes weigh gain. (I hadn’t seen her since last Thanksgiving and all the weight she lost was back on, plus some.) I did notice that the glass she poured sat on the kitchen shelf untouched.

T'is the Season, y'all! Much love and mercy to be had and go around. Here and now my kids have rebounded from a few days of fever, and I am momentarily charged with a cold. Had some Oregano Oil, swallowed some raw garlic cloves, et al., I expect to be ship-shape soon.

Hey Dennis, I came across this article about the history of the mandolin, and thought you might enjoy: Cheers!

Thank you, Playdo! That mandolin article will also be posted on a luthiers' forum that I'm part of.

GREAT news about Glori! Wooo hooooo! She'll be running cross-country and doing parkour before we know it.

For each of you that "bare your souls",giving us a glimpse into your psyche and your heart, I thank you. I am moved, touched and grow because you have the guts to be that open and that honest.

When things start clenching down on our spirits, we need to seek out love, beauty, and humor. Allow me to inject a bit of silly humor. Be sure to read along with the captions:

Hi Paula,

Some of my conversations go like that too when I start talking about food choices in our family. Some of the habits around me are quite worrisome but either people will nod politely and continue eating the poison or - indeed - make a joke about it. When these same people get sick due to their bad lifestyle it will be they themselves that bring up all these healthy advices (because they just heard it from the doctor) and one or two weeks later, when health is restored, it's like nothing ever happened. Same with overweight. Pretty much all of the women in my family know what they have to change to lose weight. Especially in the summer, days are filled with talks about having heard this spice or that superfood really works, some woman did a workout combined with some diet, if you cut out some of that excess bread etc. They know it all, but then the talking is over and it's just, next thing on the list. Not that they're all obese :p but I always have to frown when I see and hear the eagerness with which they want to lose weight, they know how to get it done, and end up doing nothing.

I've now assumed the role of an observer. Oh and men, they can get really angry about food. I don't know if it's safe to generalise, because I base this on my own statistically insignificant entourage, but: don't mess with a man's food. Which is quite ironic because they seem to like their food quite messed up already.

The only one adamantly refusing nearly everything is my grandmother. At first that came off very snobbish and family members where my grandmother came to visit were likely to be offended if she didn't eat any of the stuff they prepared. And for her (not for themselvels strange enough) they go through the extra trouble of getting fresh everything, little to no salt, no red meat, etc. so they do their best, I must admit, but I think my grandmother has either grown afraid of food or afraid of food she did not see cooked in a step-by-step process.

I've been wanting to send you this video and something always came up:

" . . . If you want a friend, tame me . . ." "What must I do, to tame you?" asked the little prince. "You must be very patient," replied the fox. "First you will sit down at a little distance from me - like that - in the grass. I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings. But you will sit a little closer to me, every day . . ."
(Saint Exupery)

That's what I'm doing now . . .

When we are the most vulnerable, we are the most precious being. Something comes through like a pure diamond made of light, born of tears. Yes, women cry alone - and you guys have been a woman many times in other lives - but we never cry for ourselves solely, we're always connected to and feel a bit of the deepest sorrow in the world and then - let's sing, as another fox said :

Fox was the only living man. There was no earth. The water was everywhere. "What shall I do," Fox asked himself. He began to sing in order to find out. "I would like to meet somebody," he sang to the sky. Then he met Coyote. "I thought I was going to meet somebody," Fox said. "Where are you going?" Coyote· asked. "I've been wandering all over trying to find someone," Fox replied. "I was worried there for awhile." "Well, it's better for two people to go together. That's what they always say." . "O.K. But what will we do?" "I don't know." "I've got it! Let's try and make the world." "And how are we going to do that?" Coyote asked. "Sing!" Fox said.
(Jaime De Angulo)

Joy is sorrow and sorrow is joy – just two manifestations of one and only energy of life.

Dang it Plato, most xmas music (and any reminder of the holiday--call me the Grinch, bah humbug!!) drives me nuts...but you put it in my awareness. Here's my favorite, dedicated to the Southerners (or are you different from "Texans"? Don’t mean to offend!)

Lovely Village.
Thank you, Iloveyou, for your post. You have the best name on the forum!

Donk, I think Texans are a special sort of southerner.
There is the west, and there is the east, and there is Texas.
(thanks for the song even though I can't see what it is ... IT in its wisdom blocks youtube videos so employees don't get too distracted by insight or truth)

Hugs for Paula.

Meeradas, loving thoughts to you. Enjoy the rest.

If you’re shivering on account of global warming, here’s an interesting discussion among climate change skeptics as to the Why of all the propaganda. They are now looking beyond bad science by incompetent scientists to gravy trains and even (close your ears) conspiracy. They don’t seem to have come yet to the idea of phoney climate change as a cover for the real climate change being deliberately engineered in order to trash the planet, but they are getting there.

Internet crashed yesterday. Only phone tethering provides us now, and extremely slow. Can't watch vids at all. A guy came yesterday to check all of our cables, to make sure it wasn't an internal problem. Told us to expect them to solve the problem by 10 AM this morning at the latest. Now it's nearly 2 PM and so far nothing, not a peep.
Please don't expect replies from me until further notice.

Hey, maybe an energy wave from us Villagers can get this show back on the road!?!?
That would be quite an achievement. And why not?

[Dennis Leahy]

Hey Calz!

LOUDEST concert - by far - that I ever went to: Kansas. Literally still too loud even with my hands over my ears. The violin frequencies just sliced through me.

And, I saw Shawn Phillips several times at pretty small venues. Incredible, pitch-perfect singing and great guitar playing. Then, cocaine. I walked out of the last concert I saw of his (before it was over) shaking my head. He really fell down hard. "The effluvium of excess, it is hidden at the behest of mentality, of a low degree."

But anyway, thanks for the jolts to my memories!

Hope you are well!

[Ol' Roy]

Calz,Lol! Nit wit husbands! So true! So true! Luv ya bro!

[Ol' Roy]

Well we have to smile about the concerts we used to go to! My first concert was 5th Dimension followed by the Beach Boys down in Daytona Beach, Floridia. Back during Spring Break in 1969. BTW no drugs back then. Maybe a couple of beers! You know the rest of the story later on. Never did coke! Dorm room, someone sliped some acid in my beer. I almost kicked his ass two days later. It took me 2 days to recover! You know how Grahamn Hancock is about his trips? I can remember it like it was yesterday, 42 years later! Not a good trip! BTW!

I appologiy's( my daughter is not here to do spell check) Ulli! Dennis got me off a Deja vu moment! Here and now, Vicki my wife, is taking care of our granddaughter ("Ellie Kate"). You have to realize Vicki is 65 and had not done this for a long time! Aunt Carlye is learning to help take care of her, when she is not in school. My daughter Sarah really appreciates this. I don't want to investigate how much childcare costs these days! It was outrageous 30 years ago. Vicki is sooo tired when she gets home! At least I fix dinner, do dishes and take care of the house. Carlye and I are going to give her a break, so she can go to water Zumba at least 2x a week. That is her lifeline. She really enjoys that!

Guess what? Old Grampy(me) has got to step up to the plate. Remember the movie Mr. Mom? (Michael Keaton) Well ,that was me back in the mid 80's. No Bull! Diapers and the whole nine yards, my dears and guys! Yes, I was a good catch! Lol!

My appology's to My Canadian and French and Belgium friends for my lousy French!

English and French were not my fortie. Science and math were!

[Ol' Roy]

Well Ulli,

I keep thinking EMP or sunspots. Well my daughter says its my antiquated computer. She is is going to install double the RAM that I have. Maybe 60 bucks American! Not bad considering all the frustration, I go through!

[1inMany]

Good Morning, Here and Now. And sweet dreams if that applies, too.

Ol' Roy, K's day care expense is $900 a month, or will be when she goes to back to work next week. M is helping some through the holidays, but that is so much money that I don't know how she will make ends meet. The baby will be 8 weeks old, and then there is before and after school care for Little One. So I'm sure your daughter appreciates all the help she can get. Children would be so much better off if they could be in a home environment.

While I am here, I think I should practice staying in the Here and Now. I have been all over the place, and really that does keep me out of this moment. So easy to let things slip away into what if, and remember when, and I should, and why can't I, and I wish I had and...

I hear Lily snoring. These kitties are running every which direction, making so much noise. Thumpity thump thump crash. It is still dark, and the lights on the modem are blinking. I hear the faint hum and whoosh of traffic, off in the distance. My mind is going every which way, while I try so hard to stay right here. Right now. Come on, me. It is dripping raindrops outside, was raining earlier and has let up a little. A bit dreary since I have to get out today. I smell fresh coffee, which wakes me up like an alarm clock for the soul. Ha. The girls are both sleeping, no one argues or calls on my attention. I see dishes on the counter, evidence they were both up late. I see a stack of binders here on the desk, reminder that M has some paperwork to gather for school.

Man, that was difficult. I do need more practice. I will work on this.

Much Love,

[RunningDeer]

As a sidenote, yesterday we indeed did have a M6.1 flare from sunspot 2222 although that's not even a big flare (well, it was the biggest one in a while). They usually cause brief radio blackouts on the sunlit side of Earth like that one did.

[Ernie Nemeth]

A few months back, after reading some resumes of my peers, I decided to try something a little different. Much more to it, including most of the previous year's conditioning, but I posted a resume with a bit of ... cockiness ... (can't think of another word for it - truth?) to it.
Didn't think of it again. Last month I got a reply - but here's the thing - my post was on the sixteenth page! I am still working for that contractor, doing my third house with more on the way. Then a few weeks ago, I got another call. This company wants me to take over the supervision of their restaurant renovation and construction company - as a third party sub-contractor, of course, with commensurate compensation for once! I don't know what page my ad could have been on for that one. Then last week I got yet a third call, again for a company looking for a permanent sub-contractor specialist. Guess I've found my niche... And all I did was tell the truth.

Now, if I could just move my secret ambition forward, I'd be happy. See? Even when things are rosy the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Nasty, implanted meme - one I truly wish to be rid of.

I am so lucky, and I know it. I may have had a hand in it but the string of circumstances that had to come together for all this to happen is not my doing. I bow to the power of the Source!

There is no other explanation for it.

And I would like to pass it on. So this weekend I will be meditating on abundance for all that might ask, in sincerity and clarity. Just to sort of pave the way ahead, that's all.
All things good to All!

Jupiter Retrograde from December 8th, 2014, to April 2015 – A Twist in the Myth

https://aeternalightastrology.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/william_blake_-_sconfitta_-_frontispiece_to_the_song_of_los.jpg?w=250&h=326
William Blake’s frontispiece to
“The Song of Los”, showing the Demiurge Urizen.

Since July 16, when planet of growth, expansion, luck, expectations and optimism Jupiter entered Leo, and after the blunt trauma experienced under the Cardinal Grand Cross, most of us have embarked on a journey back to the Self, in order to rebuild the trust, the strength, the integrity that was taken away. But, as we’re discovering while we work through our grief, the Path to such a destination is winding and tortuous. It doesn’t lack in unexpected turns, and bumps in the road; at times we’re presented with delays. There also comes a time when it’s necessary to take a step back, over old ground, to reconsider some of the recent happenings in a more detached, introspective perspective.
This moment is right around the next bend: Jupiter is going Stationary Retrograde on December 8, at 22 degrees Leo, continuing backwards until April 8, 2015, when we’ll find him 12 degrees into the same sign, exactly where he was found on September 12 of this year. Jupiter rules expansion in every sense: think of a story unfolding. Your personal story. As we pause the current chapter, we slowly wander backwards up until the moment Jupiter was entering the Rx zone, to revisit the psychological, intimate backdrop of our experience back then, and come to terms with how our own Life story has been unfolding so far.
With Jupiter’s energy reversed, the more idealistic, refined and high-minded attributes of this buoyant planet will take over: the emphasis will be upon inner growth and awareness, achieved through embracing and processing the most meaningful experiences of the past two months; the reason for this, is allowing us to figure out how to redefine, tweak and improve our present by re-evaluating what has been.
For four months (roughly), our journey will pull back from the outside world and take us deep within ourselves, to search for understanding and enlightenment, relying on the wisdom of our Higher Mind. It’s perfectly normal for the development and progress of concrete projects, plans and activities to slow down during Jupiter’s Retrograde motion: the Energy shifts, as it’s meant to support and endorse inner explorations of the Mind and Soul.
We’ll draw on our recent past, to determine how to transform our existences. Our personal philosophies, principles and beliefs will be under the looking glass for some time, forcing us to acknowledge whether or not we have succeeded in integrating them on a daily basis. Issues around education, long-distance travels and publishing, Truths we deemed to be self-evident, might present themselves under a different Light, calling for a re-examination.
Most importantly, it’s the role we’re playing in our story that will ask to be re-considered: are we being loyal to who we truly are, or to the person we intend to become (which are often the same thing)? Are we being honest with ourselves? If not, this will be a good time to come up with a plot twist.
People with Sagittarius rising, or those with personal planets within the 12-22 range of Fixed or Fire signs, will feel this Retrograde most strongly.

And professionally we are both dedicated to healing the world (and each other, of course)

A coworker informed me that he has a ridiculous (2 1/2 times) his requisite number of chickens, and is offering them for free. I am not allowed to house chickens (its a rental), so I and my sworn are going to butcher a few and try them out as foodstock (free range, no antibiotics of growth hormones).

Is it wrong that I am quite intrigued (excited even!) and looking forward to the prospect of taking my sword to a chicken's neck? O_o

My mum always used to use an axe.
Be prepared that the headless chickens will keep on running for their lives.

[Carmody]

Yes, the chickens keep on 'ah chuggin'...for usually a few more seconds, maybe 5-7 seconds. Then they sit down, sometimes, instead of falling over. It's a slightly dark scene, obviously.

As for the cat, I'd not be happy (if I was the one in the video), but I'd of baited it, so it would be left alone. If it had attacked me, with no provocation, it would not survive the moment.

And perhaps this is how higher intelligences view these human avatar thingies.

My dear,
Well Spring in Texas is around the corner! How about mid Febuary? Well there are a lot of things, Most of those are on PM. Thanks for you info on childcare! Holy crap! You have to be aware of this! I see you in the garden looking sooo happy! Little story, I lived in an apartment back in my late 20's. Well there was a nice field next door. I rented a spot. I would put the seeds in the ground and had to jump back while they grew! Horse manure my dear

Sarah has 3 degrees. An associate in graphics, A bachelors in engineering and a bachelors degree in project management. No we paid for the first 2 degree's. The last one is on her. 40 thousand in debt (student loans). Well you know, how can a young couple make it anymore. We are fortune that we live only 3 miles away!

I feel for you and your daughter! Money wise. Guess what? She has a beautiful and caring Mom!

I love you my dear!
Take care of you and all your young ones.
Just, Roy

Be prepared that the headless chickens will keep on running for their lives.

I've heard that, and acquired some chicken wire to contain the freely-running headless bodies,... but this does not address my inquiry. I'm set on the sword (its a fine sword, do not doubt), but my question pertains to the eager anticipation of decapitation. Is that considerably 'wrong'?

I have never thought 'oh goodie, I get to take a animal's head off',... yet I find myself thinking so now. I take satisfaction in knowing it is a far better fate than that of a slaughter-house (cleaner certainly, and without all those "Holy crap this giant thing is killing me" vibes OR neuro-chemicals) but still; should one look forward to trying one's blade? It seems an odd thing,.... O_o

I appreciate the cautionary statement though.

(More) Here and now, I am just returning from my professional company's Christmas banquet. In participating so, a number of opportunities presented themselves.

There was a raffle, but in exchange for a prize one was 'required' to say a 'clean' (read: acceptable) joke. I don't know any clean jokes, so I sang the intro (and first line and chorus of) "With a Little Help From My Friends" by the Beatles. (up to about 0:40,.. acapella, in time/key cuz Ive had more than my share of voice training). I prolly could'a owned their minds if I hadn't stopped midway,... but I'm not THAT sinister,....

The corporate owner was in attendance. Is it wrong/perverse for me to take (or have taken) perverse pleasure in singing about getting 'high' (with emphasis) in front of the Boss of Bosses,... cuz I sure did! Xp

BTW, I won 2 times (the raffle),... the second time I sang the intro to "And So it Goes". Less flippant, but equally to the point IMO.

Them bitches didn't know I could sing before,....

(up till about 0:50).

Admitting, there may have been 'youngsters' in the crowd who didn't know WTF was up,... which makes it funnier IMO.
It was most memorable (not just in my mind, I kept getting compliments all night) to myself and the audience, and totally unscripted,.... ^_^

Except that, I'm a crafty bastard and I precognitively anticipated the opportunity/necessity to sing. FWIW It's hard as F--- to accurately spell check ATM, drunk as I be

Here's hoping someone who was there is one of the Acalon visitors (if not members!),... Ha, didn't think I'd bust tbe Beatles or Billy Joel did ya! Old school pwnage!

Ulli, I know how humble you are! You have have shown me pictures of where you live! Awesome! Costa Rica maybe on my bucket list. You know we all live on different parts of this planet! Different languages, different customes, different religions, and different politics. But we are united here on this grand forum!

What else can I say? I feel privedged! Got to tell you another small story. I went to an Anthony Robbins seminar in Hawaii, back in 97'. While we were there(I am talking about an international representation ie. Australians[my favorite fun loving people}, USA of course, French, German, and the Netherlands. Needless to say awesome! Canadian too! my brothers!

You know, I have to tell you about the commarderie. We were there for 14 days[in Hawaii] very intensive! Well, Prnices Diana and Mother Theresa died within 2 days of each other. Anthony Robbins knew them both.What I am trying to explain. We all came together as one community just as we do here on Avalon! It was beautiful! WE ARE ONE!

PS
I have never felt a since of connectedness!



until I came to Avalon!

That is wonderful. I would love to hear you sing, what about of making an audio file. I can feel your excitement, this energy is here in my room, while we are having our late saturday morning breakfast (wanted to say more, but deleted it because of my poor English, it doesn't sound right). Thank you so much for sharing your joy with us, g.

BTW if it was me, I would not butcher the chicken, why take an animals life without an urgent need? Sure, many others do, but the only thing that counts is what I / You do.

Bart still has some good stuff, Catsquoti. I liked the song about daughters growing up (Dochters worden dames or Daughters become Ladies), from a father's perspective even though I didn't like the music as much:


Plots zijn ze geboren
Net tevoren dus nog niet
Je kijkt om en je hebt dochters
Je weet niet wat je ziet

Op een dag kunnen ze spreken
Net tevoren ging dat stroef
Zitten ze vol met meisjesstreken
Dan weer heel blij, dan weer heel droef

Voor je het goed beseft
Staat hun bestaan in volle bloei
Dochters worden dames
Je koopt ze op de groei

Hoe kan ik richting geven
Ik ben zelf een kampioen
In verdwalen in het leven
Dus wat de mama zegt
Dat moeten ze maar doen

Vroeger was een zandbak
Een oneindig paradijs
Nu moet het een tent zijn
En met die tent op wereldreis

Voor je het goed beseft
Staat hun bestaan in volle bloei
Dochters worden dames
Je koopt ze op de groei

Hun smsjes zijn een soort Sanskriet
Ze kijken nooit gewoon TV
Het voordeel van een snapchat snap ik niet
Ik ben al lang niet echt meer mee

Ze praten uren met hun gay best friend
En heel de nacht met een vriendin
En die gast van op tomorrowland
Bleek achteraf toch geen win-win

Voor je het goed beseft
Staat hun bestaan in volle bloei
Dochters worden dames
Je koopt ze op de groei


And some G0ggles for the Villageois:

Suddenly they are born
Just in advance so not yet
You look around and you have daughters
You do not know what you see

One day they speak
Just before, it went stiff
Are they are full of girl whims
One day very happy, sometimes very sad

Before you realize it well
Their existence is in full bloom
Daughters turn into ladies
You buy them one size larger

How can I give direction
I am a champion in
Getting lost in life
So what mama says
They must so do

Formerly a sandbox
An infinite paradise
Now it must be a tent
And with that tent on world tour

Before you realize it well
Their existence is in full bloom
Daughters turn into ladies
You buy them one size larger

Their text messages are a type of Sanskrit
They never look just TV
The advantage of a snap chat I do not understand
I have long been out of the running

They talk for hours with their gay best friend
And all night with a girlfriend
And that guy at Tomorrowland
Turned out not a win-win

Before you realize it well
Their existence is in full bloom
Daughters turn into ladies
You buy them one size larger

Does this mean that my intuition about the Red Ice hosting tone having changed might also be correct?

I think that the trend you describe reflects people's perception of the role of jews (in conspiracy theories rarely separated from zionists) in the banking crisis. But long before that people already thought of jews and their belief as a big threat since they are supposedly prescribed to take over the world. Now muslims are a big threat too because they're said to want the same cookies. And by now I think it's safe to say that regardless of religion:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OFOZQ6pMGo

In the end people will have to conclude that it's an independent body. These are a few newspaper fragments from over half a century before WWI:

28177

This first fragment speaks of Ingolstadt, Beieren in 1849 where jews and pigs were still subject to custom tax. It describes how jews had launched a petition against the shameful tax and how it had succeeded in other German cities, but how Ingolstadt was defiant in keeping the tax for both pigs and jews in place because the profits were too high to lose, they kept the annual market of Ingolstadt running. (Newspaper: Den Denderbode).

The second fragment mentions a special tax jews had to pay in Mecklenburg-Strelitz to enjoy protection. How it was abolished making jews equal to christians now. The article doesn't mention it but there's a bitter undertone to that observation of equality. (Den Denderbode 1847):

28178

And I described here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?77683-The-TPTB-and-the-Islamic-picture-of-the-future.&p=909007#post909007) on the forum how my favourite radio station is also starting to sound a bit different now.

I appreciate your efforts Transiten, :hug: but don't forget to take care of yourself foremost. You may want to read up on the Jupiter part Nora posted here above. Introspection, fruitful introspection will work best in a mens sana, corpore sano.

dear transiten, just a quick reply. I cannot agree more. Here is the last paragraph of my post on the "vilcabamba-thread", which was closed (thankfully).

"Living in a society, where Holocaust denial is regarded just as an acceptable opinion and a matter of free speech, I'm not surprised seeing people react like vilcabamba did. Oh my, I could go on on this topic for days. Let's take a deep breath and let's not forget: The only truth is loving each other. Amen. PS. I didn't manage to read the rest of the thread yet, just had a short look. And my hair stands on end when considering what is waiting for me there. greetings,and love from g."

I appreciate the cautionary statement though.

Nothing odd about a male experiencing his killer instinct.
And since it is "only" a chicken there would be no negative consequences,
other than perhaps your new self image of 'Hey, I can kill'.
And if you enjoyed the experience and even got a thrill out of it
I can see you by next year joining a voodoo club as their resident chicken killer.

What would be odd, however, if you were to test your sword on something more inanimate,
like a piece of Christmas cake.
Then, having gone the extra mile figuring out how to save a chicken's life, you could move onto saving the lives of larger animals, and maybe one day even humans.
I was nine when I killed my first bird with a .22 rifle, and I cried and swore never to do it again. Typical girl.
And then in my thirties while visiting a friend one of his cats had dragged a pidgeon into his house, and even though the neck was already eaten to the bone, the bird was still alive. And my (male) friend didn't know what to do about it.
So I took his hedge clippers and decapitated it. It was the right thing to do, to put it out of its misery. And I felt no emotion, other than surprise that I was capable of doing it. All is a matter of doing the right thing.
The moment I discover that pleasure is involved when killing something I would start getting worried.
it reminds me of the scene in Laurence of Arabia, when Peter O'Toole goes on a killing spree and ends up in a blood bath.
That side of us is always lurking within us, as part of the archonic agenda, waiting to get the foot in the door.

I visited my aunt when I was eight. Auntie was with uncle by the coop when she instructed me to go into the house. I looked back when I heard the thwack and then looked away. I still remember auntie’s popeye arms washing it clean in the kitchen sink and her hums and the smell of guts through the house. That evening I struggled to swallow dinner until Aunt Pat said I didn’t have to finish.

Today, I’d give thanks for chicken’s service of food. And with the understanding that her time was lived in freedom of clean space, food and water. I’d focus on the heart blessing rather than the thwack of the axe (or sword). Then one last blessing and thanks for her service.

Transiten, it is important that you take care of yourself first. I hope your recovery is deep and swift. At the same time, all the lies and psy-ops in the world have an effect too, I do understand. I wanted to talk to you about what's upsetting you.

If you are speaking of Avalon/mods allowing or not allowing vilcabamba's thread, please note that it was vilcabamba's own words and actions that brought on the unsubscription from Avalon. So much goes on behind the scenes that members will not ever know about ... it's a matter of trusting us to act for the good of all, and the forum. It's not usually a knee jerk reaction, and can take some time to arrive at what we feel is a just conclusion, to the best of our ability.

We allow respectful discussion because that is more likely to lead to the truth, and our greater knowledge. In the case of the Nazi era history we have been told, I am beginning to investigate beyond that, and finding so much that's been hidden from us. Keeping a balanced perspective is important to me.

I appreciate a place like Avalon to speak with others about what's been hidden from us, and together finding truth, whatever that turns out to be.

Please take care, and PM me if you wish.

[transiten]

Thanks violet, iloveyou and marianne for your input.

Yes i already listened to our crazy astrologer, i'm doing astrology myself and have been working on my "horrorscope" for many a year now, must have choosen a difficult class this time around.

l listened to the 1st hour of Henrik Palmgren on Red Ice interviewing Daniel Hammarberg. Mon Dieu what a mish mash and twisting of perspectives...and not one single reference to spirituality whatsoever.

Although there were many things ringing true they were painting a simplified, generalized sometimes turned upside down picture of the Swedish society and projected a hughe dispise for some of the politicians who may be naive not seeing the whole picture but are not worthy of being ridiculed like the female leader of the Green party.

Also Daniel was complaining men are not allowed to be "real men" in Sweden although never explaining what a "real man" might be...and Henrik laughing along applauding everything he says!? Gosh, and i've been listening to many interviews he did with the "great bears" out there...don't know what to think anymore, is he just an opportunist?

OMG! The full Moon in Gemini is rising through my window! Makes me think of Creedence Clearwater Revival although i hope this is not a bad Moon rising

If i ever recover from my complications from Lyme i will try to analyze this confusing interview.

marianne thanks! Had i been in a healthy state maybe i wouldn't react as strongly, and i do appreciate freedom of speech and that it's better to communicate if possible. What bothers me is that so few pple engage in this topic; maybe Americans don't know the history as well as Europens and that most Avalonians are Americans? I didn't know vilcabamba was banned. There's this new thread now on the same topic and what's also discourageing is the heartless feeling in some of the comments.

Avalon is essentially more of a truth seeker forum, rather than a place for emoting.
Anyway, that's how I interpret Bill's MO.
Which means that when a delicate subject matter is up for discussion and people want to take part anyway,
it means that they are expected to try and rise above the duality aspect of the matter, and look deeper,

Ha!! I still do that. For some reason I have trouble hearing the words to most songs. I enjoy the rhythm, beat, flow, and up-liftment (Is that even a word?)

I had an opportunity to be part of a choir group at a seminar in Kiental, Switzerland. At the end of the stay we performed for the towns people. I can’t recall the conductor’s name but he was big in Europe. I always thought I was an alto but at tryouts the gentleman assigned me to the soprano section. What a gifted teacher. By the end, we sounded like professionals.

I freaked when he handed out sheet music. Not only were we suppose memorize it, all the songs were in different languages. Memorization is not a strength. (Ask the nuns.)

Half way through the practice schedule, he lightened up on us about the sheet music for the performance. The weird thing was that I didn’t need it. I was so in the moment that the songs flowed. There was a part of me that listened to me sing.

I was attending Mardi Gras with Fidel Castro
Buxom cross dressers threw fake gold coins at our feet
As we discussed the fate of the revolution

Suddenly, CIA men dressed in bikinis
Tried to stab us with fountain pens

Fidel blew mustard gas from his cigar
And immobilized the lot of them

19 tequilas later we had a deal

Havana goes back to the mob, and Fidel and I open a chain of Kentucky Fried Chicken shops

The hearing mechanism hears the beginnings of a word and presents the known compliments up and then builds the word from that set, depending on the rest of the heard sound.

Sort of the aural version of anthropomorphizing. A cross platform equivalency in biological systems, of a sort.

It is an internal mechanism of self completing unconscious conformation bias, in a way.

Knowing that it is there, is the first step in lowering it's levels of influence.

When I was clearing my mind out to the most basic levels, parts of me were being reduced (in this example, visual) to the incapacity to move outside of shape and color. I found those original paths of the mind when visual systems come on line for the first time.... and re-visited them in their most primitive state. And then rebuilt, or rather, refined the system to some degree.

Very useful in repair or restoration work on the avatar's systems. Most don't realize or understand such things and end up with a big load that has to be dealt with on a moment to moment basis. (ie, part of all of their expression of life)

I'm a truthseeker for sure wanting to know all the "facts" being able to "prove" but then again one could have the philosophical perspective on "What is truth"? Some would say it might also mean simply knowing deep down beyond words and intellect. For sure being able to rise above duality is what evolved souls have achieved but not even Jesus was able to keep calm but experiencing wholy wrath while throwing the hawks out of the temple.

Truth can be very confusing. Everybody has a truth. A lot of people present it as thé truth. You turn around, there's another thé truth. You take them all together and analyse and bam, you have another truth, your truth.

Truthseeking sure is hard labour.

Ha!! I still do that. For some reason I have trouble hearing the words to most songs. I enjoy the rhythm, beat, flow, and up-liftment (Is that even a word?)

I had an opportunity to be part of a choir group at a seminar in Kiental, Switzerland. At the end of the stay we performed for the towns people. I can’t recall the conductor’s name but he was big in Europe. I always thought I was an alto but at tryouts the gentleman assigned me to the soprano section. What a gifted teacher. By the end, we sounded like professionals.

I freaked when he handed out sheet music. Not only were we suppose memorize it, all the songs were in different languages. Memorization is not a strength. (Ask the nuns.)

Half way through the practice schedule, he lightened up on us about the sheet music for the performance. The weird thing was that I didn’t need it. I was so in the moment that the songs flowed. There was a part of me that listened to me sing.

The hearing mechanism hears the beginnings of a word and presents the known compliments up and then builds the word from that set, depending on the rest of the heard sound.

Sort of the aural version of anthropomorphizing. A cross platform equivalency in biological systems, of a sort.

It is an internal mechanism of self completing unconscious conformation bias, in a way.

Knowing that it is there, is the first step in lowing it's levels of influence.

when I was clearing my mind out to the most basic levels, parts of me were being reduced (in this example, visual) to the incapacity to move outside of shape and color. I found those original paths of the mind when visual systems come on line for the first time.... and re-visited them in their most primitive state. And then rebuilt, or rather, refined the system to some degree.

Very useful in repair or restoration work on the avatar's systems.

I don't know why the dung beetle didn't show up but it's a great visual to your explanation. (Oops, now it shows.)

Yes, the more I get out of my own way, information comes in with visual, auditory, feeling and knowing. (These days it's mostly feel and inner know.)

....... but then again one could have the philosophical perspective on "What is truth"?
Some would say it might also mean simply knowing deep down beyond words and intellect.
For sure being able to rise above duality is what evolved souls have achieved but not even Jesus was able to keep calm but experiencing wholy wrath while throwing the hawks out of the temple.

marianne thanks! Had i been in a healthy state maybe i wouldn't react as strongly, and i do appreciate freedom of speech and that it's better to communicate if possible. What bothers me is that so few pple engage in this topic; maybe Americans don't know the history as well as Europens and that most Avalonians are Americans? I didn't know vilcabamba was banned. There's this new thread now on the same topic and what's also discourageing is the heartless feeling in some of the comments.

Avalon is essentially more of a truth seeker forum, rather than a place for emoting.
Anyway, that's how I interpret Bill's MO.
Which means that when a delicate subject matter is up for discussion and people want to take part anyway,
it means that they are expected to try and rise above the duality aspect of the matter, and look deeper,
or just read along, while contemplating both sides of the argument.

I'm a truthseeker for sure wanting to know all the "facts" being able to "prove" but then again one could have the philosophical perspective on "What is truth"? Some would say it might also mean simply knowing deep down beyond words and intellect. For sure being able to rise above duality is what evolved souls have achieved but not even Jesus was able to keep calm but experiencing wholy wrath while throwing the hawks out of the temple.

About the story of Jesus..the question remains whether he experienced that wrath, or perhaps he just "used' its expression, the way an actor would, so as to be more effective.

That was my first thought as well. But the issues brought forth by the gospels are worth considering.
I've been thinking quite a bit about emotional impulses. We can't really know where they arise from, so unless we make a contract with ourselves what principles to follow some of our emotions could be triggered by AI.
Remembering that guy who killed Yizak Rabin, who insisted 'God told me to do it.'.

Anyway, I don't want to get personal here, I'm just speaking from my own experience when I was misled by my emotions.

Here, now. Third strike taken off. National transport once again disrupted. Almost half of the flights in Brussels airport are cancelled. No trains to and from Brussels. Focus of the strike of today is in Flemish Brabant (Vlaams-Brabant), Walloon Brabant (Waals-Brabant) and Brussels.

Too silent in Politics Land and I think the strikers are starting to lose the spirit, but we'll see. It's getting colder too, there is a correlation.

I thought about doctors this weekend. Doctors that reprimand (financially) poor patients for not being punctual in their follow-ups. Poor patients that simply can't afford to go back to the doctor for what they consider a not-so-important checkup after the worse mess has already been cleaned up and small finances must be managed tightly, so...Poor patients that for the same reason risk being judged inapt parents.

I watched the Lipton video and heard about how doctors and scientists favour the Democritusian model and adopt the machinal approach. In my experience such doctors not only view the human as a machine (to repair + maintenance checkups), they themselves in doing so have become emotionless machines (mind: not all of them). If I collect machinal doctors' reactions to patients crying out in pain, they tend to be...machinal. But maybe that's the Occidental approach coming from a culture where feelings are a private thing. Is it different in South America?

This is the Hippocratic Oath, it hangs in one of my doctors' cabinet:



I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius the surgeon, likewise Hygeia and Panacea, and call all the gods and goddesses to witness, that I will observe and keep this underwritten oath, to the utmost of my power and judgment.

I will reverence my master who taught me the art. Equally with my parents, will I allow him things necessary for his support, and will consider his sons as brothers. I will teach them my art without reward or agreement; and I will impart all my acquirement, instructions, and whatever I know, to my master's children, as to my own; and likewise to all my pupils, who shall bind and tie themselves by a professional oath, but to none else.

With regard to healing the sick, I will devise and order for them the best diet, according to my judgment and means; and I will take care that they suffer no hurt or damage.

Nor shall any man's entreaty prevail upon me to administer poison to anyone; neither will I counsel any man to do so. Moreover, I will get no sort of medicine to any pregnant woman, with a view to destroy the child.

Further, I will comport myself and use my knowledge in a godly manner.

I will not cut for the stone, but will commit that affair entirely to the surgeons.

Whatsoever house I may enter, my visit shall be for the convenience and advantage of the patient; and I will willingly refrain from doing any injury or wrong from falsehood, and (in an especial manner) from acts of an amorous nature, whatever may be the rank of those who it may be my duty to cure, whether mistress or servant, bond or free.

Whatever, in the course of my practice, I may see or hear (even when not invited), whatever I may happen to obtain knowledge of, if it be not proper to repeat it, I will keep sacred and secret within my own breast.
If I faithfully observe this oath, may I thrive and prosper in my fortune and profession, and live in the estimation of posterity; or on breach thereof, may the reverse be my fate![4]
(from Wikipedia)

I remember reading that first line back then and thinking: I swear by Apollo (...) And call all the gods and goddesses to witness? Who? The doctor? In the light of Democritusian policy...

Going by the weary state of doctors nearly dead from fatigue, I'm guessing they need reread their oath. They may very well, subconsciously, have applied the reductionist principle to it.

Myself reading through the history of DNA research (and it's nothing new but) I was amazed at how scientists get it wrong over and over again and how that's also a good thing. One scientist makes a theory, they other one proves it wrong and continues with the foundations laid by the one who got it wrong to make a theory that's right, at least for utmost another century or so. And then the next scientist can refute the previous theories again, meanwhile take those building blocks and having already a good basis to depart from and so on...

My chemistry textbook says:


A wave is a periodic oscillation that transmits energy through space.

and


A ray of electromagnetic radiation consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that travel through empty space at 3x10^8 m/sec (speed of light)

My morning question (oh, coffee) is: we have light waves emanating from radiation (depending on which frequency, colour perception is established). There is a link with the speed of light, but it's a constant so our set of colours should then also remain constant. Or not? If these oscillating fields (and they must already have experienced some interference somewhere that made it possible for them to move at the speed of light) experienced an additional interference in space by which they are now travelling at an altered speed...How would such space event, affect our vision. Or our hearing for that matter? I don't know how far both are connected, but there are also sound waves and speed of sound.

Back to Lipton, when he speaks of vibrations (waves and interference), that is very uplifting, to the extent that one can control it. The religious belief of people and its observed power was equally uplifting and called for questions at the same time. If you believe that your religion protects you from venom and it works, then it served you well. If you believe that a placebo is going to cure you, and it does, likewise so. Mr Lipton too believes that what he proposes works as opposed to what he doesn't accept as truth.

The part about cancer - seen as the iron filings without a magnet* (did I understand that correctly) - and locating it to cut it out and violà, recalls medieval bloodletting as the general approach to many diseases. Just cutting things out doesn't solve the matter and thus proves cancer treatment. You don't just get surgery. After that, they go over the same area again with radiation and after that (for just in case) you get put on prescription drugs. That's 3 times an approach for 1 problem.

There's a challenge for Mr Lipton: here's a cancer patient, now you cure him. We had a right wing politica die just a year or so ago when she refused to get traditional cancer treatment (after one such attempt had failed in the past) and went into the Alps (it was?) to an alternative medical resort. She didn't immediately die because she knew beforehand the therapy had not worked for her. Of course, we would need objective and balanced statistics to be able to say something meaningful. Objective, we could come close to, but balanced? How many people go for traditional and how many people go the other way? I know there are predictive methods to do this statistically but how can we balance these two groups in a credible manner and make absolute statements about them. So long, can we refute "the other way"?

*In Chinese medicine the influence of the magnet gets more credit.

As it happens, I'm in the process of reading on the historical discussion of where exactly the transforming agents are located that cause genes to change. Goes without saying, Lipton's idea that we can actively change our genes as of...now, has increased my curiosity.

For now: let's all collectively believe that we are doomed to get younger as days and years pass by :)

In Old China way back then doctors were payed as long as the patients were healthy but as soon as they fell ill payments stopped.

Good Morning, my Friends,

Here I sit, Now, with a cup of hot coffee. The fan is whirring, my feeble attempt at drowning out the noise of the thunderous paws. Seems to be working pretty well. The glow of the bedside lamp illuminates the room. It is dark beyond my doors and windows. Shorter days keep me in bed longer, haha, which I do not mind at all. Em is sitting at the computer, I hear her talking to the kitties. She and M change their minds several times a day which one(s) they want to keep, and which they will "allow" me to find homes for. It will be funny to see who wins, since I am recovering from the task of finding Lily a new home.

I have tried for a couple of months to find her a home. I followed every suggestion, but nothing happened. I finally took her to the humane society, but was promptly informed they would euthanize her. Good lord. One of those times where tears came. In public. I hate those times.

A lady from a rescue place just happened to be there. She offered to help me find a home for Lily. And Saturday she went to a home I could not have conjured up myself, in my wildest imagination. She will be adored and spoiled and have new friends. And the best part is that we can call and check on her every day if we want, and she will send us pictures of how Lily is doing, too. Thank you, Universe.

I am bringing Little One into my little Village home today. He is under the weather, and I think a day with us will do him a world of good. I will wrap him in my wings and let him crawl all over my lap ::) Don't mind the humming, Since the new baby has arrived he has become very interested in all the old songs I used to sing and hum to him when he was younger. The ones my mom used to sing to me. If it gets annoying, somebody just close my door. But I will try to keep it down over here.

Here is one you are likely to hear:

Much Love,

I saw this post by Prince Ea today on Face Book. I quite like him :) and see him as doing a lot of good in this world. I had something to add to the part of the bigger picture truth to what he was saying (I posted it on my wall, not his page):

This is what he said:

"It's easy enough to be happy, when life goes along like a song// but the one worthwhile is the one that can smile, when everything goes all wrong" - Prince Ea

Here is my reply:

It is true that it's sometimes good to rise above our own and other's pain with smiles and laughter, I've done it many times, and so have many others....but also, I have cried in grief many times (mostly on my own in private) and so have many other people who have done both - it's about being "human"...joy and laughter, and grief and tears can be healing in different ways. Now some people are more honest in this way than others and/or have a more negative image in someone else's eyes (social stigma, for example) and can be treated as less or worse because of it...Sometime's it's best to not pick on people because of what you do and do not know about them and others...how much of it is to do with image and judgement and how much of it is to do with truth and love?

Amethyst, have you ever considered getting out of England?
People who wish to express how they feel in an honest way will always suffer more in that "stiff upper lip" culture.
Of course, most Western countries share that aspect, but England even more so.
I once read somewhere: the Brits take nothing seriously (I.e.eveything is ridiculed) except for sports.
And I also believe that a lot of crying goes on there, in secret, in their private spheres, and all alone.

Here in Costa Rica it's a bit of an opposite culture.
The other day I had quite a laugh. A friend had asked me what I had given my husband for our silver wedding anniversary, and when I told her a pair of grey socks she cracked up so completely that I had to follow suit and we both ended up laughing tears.
Thirty minutes later I was sitting alone in our car (while on our way home husband had to do a house call) and I realized that this old patient must have just died because of the crying women on both sides of the street, in their front garden, in the doorway.
And that emotional energy hit me so hard that I had to grab a tissue as well. It was dark, so they couldn't see me.
When my husband came out, after having done the death certificate I asked him if he didn't feel anything in that household. And he said 'sure, it is the hardest part of being a doctor. At least it wasn't a kid, or young parent who had died in there, but an 84 year-old man with a fractured hip and a massive stroke three months earlier. So the emotions were so mixed, that his suffering had ended and theirs was more of a cultural (dramatic) expression.
Culture is not your friend ~Terrence MacKenna.

Hi Ulli,

sorry for taking so long to reply, I read your message at the time but it was the wrong time to reply (but right time to read it, you picked up on something).

Yes, I have considered and dreamed to move out of England, to somewhere more peaceful, green, and ideally near the sea...I feel like I need it and from years ago it felt like (part of my) destiny to move away to another country...saying goodbye to my family will be hard but I need to go, when I can...at the mo I am still not well enough to work even part time and my sick pay from work is about to go to half pay...feeling stuck at the moment, but things can change...I have been diagnosed with M.E/C.F.S last week...

It's a test of faith...has reminded me of how important my connection to god is, but also, faith that things will get better, that this is just a bump in the road...and also, how I need to take care of me...living in another country with "fresh start" and around nature and the right people, that would be the best thing for me...

I'm curious how your life changed when you moved? Did you know years before that you would be living in another country?

I moved from Germany to England after I finished high school.
Then 14 years later to Barbados, and since 1992 been living in Costa Rica,
while maintaining a connection with my son's family in Barbados,
where I will be again a week from now, until February.
It can be done, if one decides to make it so.
Each change of country is like shedding a skin. The experiences are quite revealing.
I became aware of how the real self was hidden behind the cultural programming.
I knew someone in Costa Rica who suffered from C.F.S and once he moved to the US all symptoms disappeared.
I believe it's caused by boredom and a sense of lack of fulfillment.

[Carmody]

I thought I had something similar a while back. Could not shake the exhaustion and the fatigue, for a few months.

I used MMS twice over a 48 hour period.....and it was gone.

Happy Birthday Paul! Thank you for being you!

Much Love,

[heretogrow]

I have a confession to make to my Avalon family. I have wanted to share it with you from the first time I felt it but I wanted to make sure it was real. I have fallen in love! He is a mountain man who is totally into homesteading and he does his best to live off his land. He is five years older than me and has a fluffy white beard and looks like Santa. I have always said the man I marry would look like Santa.

When I first started dating him the 1st of October the advice from my family and closest friends was don't talk about extra terrestrials or any of that spiritual Sh%t! My heart said, no show him who you really are and don't hold back, don't pretend you are someone you are not.

It almost didn't happen because when he took me to dinner the first time he asked if he could kiss me goodnight and then he growled at me. To a woman who has been gang raped that was quite scary! That was when my grandmother was dying and when I was about to give up, she reassured me that I should give this a chance.

My mom is so depressed because her mother has passed that she doesn't get up from the couch most days. She has checked out and is wallowing in her pain and grief. He comes here after work and helps me make dinner and helps with the dishes. He put in a bathroom for my parents with a new tub, shower and toilet with safety bars so they won't slip and fall.

He tells my daughter that she does not have to worry about him taking her mommy away because he loves her too!

By now, I have shared with him my beliefs about extra terrestrials, GMO's , Geo-engineering, Weather modification, Vaccines, medications, mother earth being alive, the sun being a conscious entity, the magic that surrounds us everyday in our daily life that we are all too self-absorbed to really see. And he tells me that I am his soulmate. Tonight he says that I am spiritual and I am his match. He says you are not crazy you are just in tune to nature and that this is the natural balance of all things that so many people are not aware enough to see.

As I said I have fallen in love. There is so much more that has been shared but I can't fit it all in. He told me tonight that the thing he loves about me the most is that I am so honest and genuine and spiritual. I really think he gets it. And I am so glad that I did not pretend or try to change.

I love you all,
Julia

Yeah , it can be good for the soul to move, I've noticed that people with different health conditions can feel a bit better in some way on holiday or moving to another country.

A virus caused my illness (different things cause C.F.S and M.E, drs said mine was caused by a virus, but they are aware of the impacts of stress and depresion on this illness, and those things can even make you more susceptible to it).

(maybe MMS could help, but I'm a bit scared to take it as it's so strong).

Before I caught that virus, I had my dance classes, which I love, and had bought a singing class which I was really excited to take...I had to cancel both classes...and also had to cancel my short trip away to the Peak District and Cornwall, which I was really looking forward to going to with my friends. I was not fulfilled in my office job, but most people are not. It's the illness that made me more depressed, unfulfilled and at times a bit bored...

So, if there was one non physical factor that contributed to my illness, it would be stress caused by trauma (not for me to go into).

But the word fullfilment does stand out, I would be fulfilled (and more healed) if I lived in another country, that's nice and green and peaceful with nature, but also with some people, but not too busy...I would work in healing and health food and medicines, or along those lines, and would be involved in singing and dancing groups. I would have a partner who is a soulmate, it would be a deep and light love and we would support each other. I see children that I will look after, but not my own...it's a happy place. That's what I need.

Would that be Chilean?? Loved the South American wines back in my drinking days.

These days the fam will have to pick their own poison. My Personality is too addictive to even dabble. Thanks for the offer, though

As big a sacrifice as it is--I was really into good red wine, craft beer, and top shelf whiskey and gin—truly appreciating the artistry in their creation…whether I am or not there’s too many in my life that are not strong enough to control the spirits, and I can’t stand being around when the spirits take control…so I have to be an example, regardless of my belief I MIGHT be able to practice moderation.

For those that do though…this was a favorite at the end of my career, from my homestate…

sitting at my window at 4 pm, sky is greyish white pale, airplanes coming in from the west, people hurrying under leaveless trees. flight of rooks cercles around the cranes above the roofs, it's much too warm for december. greyish blue turns into strange colors, the city seems to hold its breath for a while, nothing can harm us, we're on our journey back home for sure. it's time for Cannonball Adderly, may the tenderness of this tune bring stillness and joy to you all. With love, g.

You girls are going to love this one!

I was in the supermarket today! OK! Women in their 40's to 60's kept staring at me. First thing I thought "Is my zipper open?" No. Could it be my cologne or lack of cologne? No! They were staring at my as*! Well! I haven't had an as* since my 30's.

My wife and I joke about this when we go to the beach every year. Yes, she caches me looking and I catch her! LOL! I tell her if I am not looking, you might as well put me in the coffin!

[Ol' Roy]

You know there are some awesome things that can happen at the supermarket! Today, I picked up my item, checked out. Looked back. What I presume was a little old lady, counting her coins to make a purchase. I saw she didn't have a enough! Had $4 in my pocket. Started to give that to the cashier, changed my mind. Asked how much her bill was, $19.34. So I wrote a check for the amount. Well, I try to do this throughout the year! On our way out, she said "I will pay it forward"! I almost stop dead in my tracks, my eyes moistioned up! I said you already have my dear!
We are blessed! Not so monetarily but decent health and a roof over our heads! Just talked to my old buddy Muggins. We were in the Jaycee's (junior chamber of commerce) back in the 70's. Well after that disbanded, he set up a food and toy drive starting in 1980. He and his helpers feed, clothe, toys for the young'uns and shelter 600+ families a year. I am very proud to be a part of this!

Happy and Blessed Holidays to all of my Avalon and Camelot friends!

Second Thoughts! No, I'm not bragging. Just want you to know that we can all do something to pay it forward! One of my favorite movies of all time! PAY IT FORWARD! Google and watch it!

What kind of world would this be, if we all did a little something, throughout the year.

Off to town again, hardware store. Buying a toilet, a bathroom sink, a kitchen sink, plus all the fittings. Also electric switches and plugs. Waiting for the glass people to come and put in windows and glass doors.
Then comes the frustrating part...
Instead of going wild decorating and furnishing the place (the fun part) I have to get on a plane to Barbados again...sigh.
A truly divided life. I will return in February. Husband will only come with me for two weeks.
Only Avalon remains with me wherever I am, as the only constant.

Finished adjusting my brakes. Goes without saying, sliding through traffic is a hazardous thing. It's not the pads, they're fairly new. Just that pulling the brake didn't make anything happen anymore, so tightened things up here and there. Looks like my cables will soon need replacing too. Starting to become like barbed wire, ouch.

Hi!

Mysterious synchronicity! Just followed doncs "Mirror thread".....OMG:jaw: realize i just happened to listen to Michael Jackson: "Man in the mirror" on Wynn Frees radio! But that's not what i was going to talk about in the first place...anyway:

On the 9th i posted in the "Vous parlez francais" (can't find the cédille) thread after following doncs "Mirror for Avalon". Today is Dec11 and i can't find any of those threads, and why is the "You speak French" thread called "View post" as i look it up under "find all posts?

Well the sync is that the Mirror thread is about posts disappearing. Now i understand there must be a system to this, suppose that the mods are reading new posts and it takes a while for them to be approved of? But my innocent post in the French thread wouldn't need that much scrutiny? Or is it that they will have to be put on a waiting list? I was going to post this in doncs thread but as i can't find it since i never posted in it i must turn to the village...

Also tried to start a new thread the other day and was not allowed to...Is the Universe/Collective Unconscious/Unified Field trying to tell me i should not be on Avalon? At least not just now since i have a lot of other things to tend to? Like "Go to Work" "Call the authorities" etc: Got Saturn conj Sun, Sun square Saturn today and the other day also Mercury squared Saturn and right on the pavement before going to the dentist i fell and injured my left big toe and now communication has been delayed for some days while trying to help a young man who has been forced to buy mobiles under threat...

Information please....what's the song called now again? "Memphis Tennesee..information please..."

[Violet]

rem, that sure was some turn back then. I'm happy my friends and family kept faith in me. I wish you better days, Donk, may they come straightaway.

And, another strike today, a bit unexpected. I hope people are still taking this seriously. It's from the train operators, and not in the list of larger scale demonstration. Next one is Monday. Especially travellers dependent on trains are fed up with all the transportation disruptions.

But the good news is that both politicians and the media understand that it is no longer possible to keep pretending that this isn't really happening. There's now more public talk and considerations about the effects on the country and what outcomes may be expected. The labour unions have already said that they will not stop until a satisfactory outcome has been achieved, and this possibly includes a continuation of the strikes after the Christmas holidays. Recap: themes: pension, jobs, health care.

And while all this is going on, our local Philips lighting manufacturing branche is cutting 170 jobs in Turnhout. That is not the spirit :( My thoughts are with those people and their families. What a way to start your holidays.

I just thought of something clever...

Instead of calling ourselves "conspiracy theorists," why don't we start calling ourselves "conspiracy therapists?"

According to the Oxford Dictionary:



ther-a-py (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/therapy)

1.) Treatment intended to relieve or heal a disorder
Really, it's not far from the Truth. In reality, what we are doing is we are healing the planet and its people by dissipating harmful and false information and ideologies that, like a disorder, plague the human mind to the point where it becomes imbalanced, illogical, and devoid of compassion.

We are all therapists, because not only have we done the work to free our own minds by working on our spiritual growth (and still are), we are also doing everything we can to guide those who are lost amidst a sea of confusion.

The term "conspiracy theorist" has such negative connotation attached to it, which is intentionally to make Truth-seekers look like immature, naive, fantasized nut-cases. By calling ourselves "conspiracy therapists," there is a whole different meaning to what we do (or...we can just call ourselves balanced, conscious humans. ;))

So, my fellow conspiracy therapists, carry on doing the good work! ;)

I found your post in my Thread ''You speak French ? Vous parlez français ? (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?15761-You-speak-french-Vous-parlez-Fran--ais)


Bon soir!

Aujourd'hui j'ai découvert une boutique aux spécialités francaises (toujours pas de cédille) comme Crème de marron et des Calissons a Gothembourg. Quelque minutes plus tard j'ai entendu un homme jouer une chanson francaise sur l'accordéon dans la rue!

Et voilá ce salut de Nat_Lee! J'éprouve sans cesse des "synchronicities"; hier j'ai ecouté David Wilcock parler en GaiamTV du nombre 108 et la déesse égyptienne de Lune Isis. J'entre le "Here and Now" fil et Dan33 a fait une post avec un video qui finit par le nombre 108 et ici je trouve l'avatar starseed108!!

This is awesome. A guy digging caves who doesn't fill them with beer cans and half eaten pizzas.

Amazing! I'm downloading "Cavedigger" now for $1.99 @ iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/movie/cavedigger/id815620449). The trailer shows the physical labor behind it.

Strange that the ABYSS video (I've uploaded three years or more ago) has more than 140,000 visits. The video is still in youtube. It has not been removed!?
Here and Now What's Happening?

61.252 This body is not at all its former self: it is scarcely more than a concentration, a kind of agglomeration of something; it's not a body in a skin — not at all. It is a sort of agglomeration, a concentration of vibrations. And even what is normally called an “illness,” even these functional disorders do not have the same meaning for this body as they have for doctors, for instance, or for ordinary people — it's not like that, it doesn't feel them like that. It feels them rather as ... like a kind of difficulty in adjusting to a new vibratory need.
SATPREM. The Mind of Cells.

This is awesome.

Yes, it is! I'd move in at once!



Well the sync is that the Mirror thread is about posts disappearing.

Also tried to start a new thread the other day and was not allowed to...

Thanks for bringing this up. I wasn't aware of this at all.

What does "was not allowed to" mean? What happened?

Hi meerads! There's this thread that donc started "A mirror for Avalon". Also as i tried to start a new thread the other day the message came up i'm not allowed to. Maybe i did not proceed in the right way? I clicked on the New Thread button but....

I was in the supermarket today! OK! Women in their 40's to 60's kept staring at me. First thing I thought "Is my zipper open?"

Resonates to me Roy ...
" ...then I look for the zipper of my pants. It's ok, but then, "people" may think that I'm touching my "eggs" ... so people looking at me more seriously .... and then ... I realice, that I've The Bill Ryan's hat on . Now I understand everything".:p

Hugs Roy.

The "not allowed' message may be because you tried to start a thread in an area that's off limits to forum members.

Here and now, another cold snap is gracing us. And it is wet weather. So it is a bit dark. It is peaceful at the moment, M having gone to the store. The space heater does its job. But the weather is not conducive to having motivation to do anything I am supposed to be doing.

I am having a bit of trouble staying in the moment again. It's Little One. Worry. It is a waste of time, I know, so I set it aside. And set it aside. Over and over.

Mike has decided, in all his wisdom, to allow whatshisname to move in there. And last night, M overheard something disturbing. Whatshisname told Little One he was going to set him on fire in his sleep. This shocked and frightened and even confused Little One. And there is not a damned thing I can do about it.

So I am struggling pretty hard here. I go to the place of worry and sorrow and pull myself back so often I may get whiplash. (Ha)

The prayer I repeat is "Please, Universe, let it be bad enough this time." I have done every single thing I can think of to help. Right now the best thing for me to do, I think-but I am not sure, is to not let my emotions have a field day. And that is really difficult. He is a child. A child.

For this Here and Now, and for this evening, I send blessings to all the children who have found themselves in situations where they cannot thrive. Well, I would if I could.

Much Love,

[PurpleLama]

Nothing a bullet wouldn't cure.

Thought of that. And as an added bonus, the consequences would allow plenty of quiet alone time for meditation.

For many children that live in situations that are hard to thrive, their inner reserves get a good work out and a good wake up.

Many children override what is imposed on them with their unspoken, innate personal truth. In the moment, the inner voice may be silenced. But the inner angel-self stands with the sword and shield in strength.

Whatshisname-A-hole feels this and is threatened by the Big Little One.

It’s easy for me to write word on paper. Honestly, it’d be different if I had a grandson in your grandson’s position. But life experience and reflection through time helps me to write these words on paper. Little One’s generation will not endure what prior generations have.

To Little One, I offer, “Little Angel wrap your wings around Yourself and Baby Sister for just a while longer. Know that you’ve got a Troop that surrounds and protects and is working in your family’s favor.”

Love,
Auntie Paula

In the meantime, 1, for You… <3

The Children

Prelude


You put that book aside right now! Does this house look like it desperately needs for a Mademoiselle sitting on her lazy bum, reading? Books, books, books you don't do anything else but read. One would almost think you're heading to turn out a doctor, or an engineer, which of course you're not. Now find yourself something to dust off, before I...

This is a prelude. And also a pat on some of our members' shoulders. It's true that I often think one should just get on with life instead of repeating painful stuff over and over again but...at least some people here can get a story told. So, you are more courageous than you appear to yourselves.

From what I can see, my story will probably always remain a prelude. We were raised with a respect for the parents that is sacred, a loyalty that is unquestionable and I don't like gossip. Combined it makes it hard for me to talk about things that were very painful and damaging. I compensate by looking at other children in need and what I can do. Yes, this then is the story of why the child's pain moves me and why I talk about children often and why I write for children.

Just during the last full moon, I was planting seeds in the garden, and I heard the shrieking of a child, and I recognised it all too well. It sounded like the cry of a child that gets beaten up mercilessly and there is absolutely no one to help.

Sometimes I think I should spend a bit more time rethinking the past, but for me it equals regression. Ironically enough, skipping that part, keeps me a child forever, which is good in some ways, but as an adult, it's always hard to fit in with the adults.

Phew, done. That was difficult.
