WOW...and I mean, 'out of this world', wow!!! : )

If I get one more 'in my face' synchronicity and confirmation of it ALL coming together at lightning speed and heavenly influence of a legion of spirits that have been helping from the other side...family, friends and more, more, more, now...commending and awarding and rewarding for the selfless work that has been done by us (villagers and more : )
I'll have to simply smile and giggle-spree my way to the next amazement...
oh, I'm already doing that. : )

Villagers, You will not believe what is ahead of Us.
A mind-blowing cascade of wonders is about to explode!

All I can say again is keep doing what You are doing and enjoy each and every moment to the cosmic fullest...
Love the Fun of It!

The Volcano of Love IS Erupting!!!

Thanks for the confirmation, Dan. That’s my sense of things. I don’t see, but it’s an inner knowing. When I double check, I get confirmation from feeling. Recently, the fear of the unknown has fizzled away. I’ve noticed that there’s a calmness which is beyond emotion that use to have me second guess and go round and round with mind chatter. By way of metaphor, I’ve step out of the karmic world. I catch myself feeling lighter and taller.

In positive thinking there is a line that divides between the will to make/see things better by not letting the negative win (not even giving it the smallest platform to manifest, such as a thought), and a fear of the unknown by denying all that's negative. Of course, one could consider revising the meaning of positive in the latter definition.

When dismissing or denying negative scenarios as they are already manifesting now, we cannot make for positive things to come, because you don't know the negative, because you don't want to hear it. Therefor, it can grow - without you having any idea of the extent of it - and by its unattended growth, attack you as a big surprise.

You can also choose to see the negative and remain mindful, meaning: still not allowing it to take the platform, you are in control. You will only accept positive, but you must know what is negative first and what it can do or not do, and how to bring about its counterpart.

You can also choose to see the negative and become careless. As negativity will always manifest in a world of polarity, you can become defeatist and say that no matter what positive is done, negative will always be there too. So, why bother.

There is evil in the world, I see that, I feel that, it hurts me, I don't like it. At the same time, I don't accept it, and I go for change. I want a balanced change.

I met someone today and he said: what's negative for you, may not be so for someone else.

The negativity in today's world is in my view not just the result of polarity, but comes directly from the consciousness of self-serving entities which then use humans to do their bidding. The fact that they exist at all is because of the spectrum of diversity, which is endless, and goes off in two directions, from extreme low-frequency density, and compactedness, to extreme infinite lightness, LIGHT-ness, and radiance.
Our duality understanding of polarity doesn't allow for the continuum of the spectrum.
It is a result of the fact that we only have one sun which then creates daylight, or by it's absence, darkness.
If we had two suns, the view of things would be different.

But what you say here, about our ability to combat the negative is very interesting.
Denying it makes one naive, and thus vulnerable.
Knowing that is is there, and consciously choosing to not feed it,
that is where true free will comes in.

[PurpleLama]

Or, self serving humans who use entities to do their bidding. The lower astral is a psychic garbage dump, and while everyone in the world are willing to make it, so very few will ever bother to take it out....

You all pretty much know me, here and now, Villagers.

The master builder, master carpenter, construction supervisor cannot be naive in those processes and has to be 'naturally' aware of all tactics and surroundings to create and culminate and then grab the next task at hand.

And I understand most of You understand that know me...
I do leave alot out of my presentations and posts at the Village upon assumption(loving).
Presentation and delivery is a bit different when I am in or at a place, sharing, one on one or otherwise, where I am 'less' known.

And I Thank You All openly for allowing my 'ecstatics' Here and Now for there are not many other places where I can be outwardly exuberant in the extreme when extreme things happen...it is becoming a common occurrence :) and I have the heartfelt need to let You all know...because...We are kissing something unimaginably beauti-humongous now...and...

Here is the deal!
My oldest daughter just had a baby 3 months ago. My wife, who is retired offered to take care of her at Sarah's home. Okay! Sarah required V and C my youngest daughter to get flu shots, before they started taking care of Ellie! Did that! They said their were people coughing, sneezing, and gaging all around them for 2 hours!

Duh! They got the Flu! They say incubation time is 14 days, even if you have the Flu shot. Guess what happened? I have it to! Now Ellie is sick, because V went back too soon!

What is a Mom supposed to do? Sorry guys, it's usually the Mom's! God bless you, guys, that can do that and hang in there! I've done mine, but guess, I am going to do some more! When I'm afraid, I am not going to break her! It's been 32 years! LOL!

I don't know what to say! Damned if you do, damned

if you don't!

Stay well!
PS, they say(Center for Disease Control- USA) now they missed the boat and it doesn't cover all strands of Flu!

[Ol' Roy]

This is true! "X" rated LOL!
Back in 1979, I was living in an apartment in the city of Lexington, Kentucky. USA. All was well and good, was going to college and had a full time job. But there was something missing? Not a woman(took a sabatical on women! LOL!).
Looked out of my apartment on the 3rd floor. Holy Crap! That was it! A field next door! I wanted to raise a BIG GARDEN! Feed the sick and the homeless! Well, I felt this was not going to happen. Living in the middle of the city and living in an apartment! Single, 2 roomates and not much money!

Manifest Destiny! (An American term, which means, live your dreams!) I pulled into the parking lot one day and there was a sign in the vacant pasture. Lots for rent! Fully plowed!

I didn't even get out of the car! Went next door and secured one! 40x50 ft=3.3mx4.5.App.=to. So I go to the seed store and get my plants and seed! Of course I had done some gardening before! But got a FREE manual from the county on proper planting and maintenance.

So I went about my "little" garden. Fertilized it according to directions! Bought me a hoe, no not ho! I told you it was X rated!

Stood back, basically jumped back and watched it grow! You talk about organic farming? Little did, I know they had raised horses on this before! You talk about a testament for organic farming! WOW!

I feed the poor, the homeless, the neighbors, people at work, canned vegetables, family you name it! I even asked people to come out and get their own! Cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes, corn, onions, greens. All because of HORSE POOP (manure).

Okay! Here and now! I met my wife 34 years ago New Years Eve. 2 beautiful daughters, 1 beautiful granddaughter, Copper Top (our current dog) and a decent life. Remember I told you I was canning cucumbers? We had only been dating 3 weeks. But I invited her over for Super Bowl Sunday. The first thing, I offered her was a pickle! You guys, about your doubt or affection for a woman, offer her a canned pickle.( Sorry couldn't help it!) I know some of you may not get this! That is what my daughters love about me, is my stupid jokes!

Enough! LUV ya guys!

is the contemporary size of a 64 GB USB3-stick. Less than a fingernail.

If that sorta thing is in retail right now, i wonder what the breakaway "civ" are playing with, storage-wise.
Chrystals, probably. Or dust.

The optical industry is such a rip-off. When I started needing reading glasses I only bought one expensive pair...designer frames. I knew I was being overcharged, so that helped me look for alternatives.
The first opportunity came during a visit to the US, in a Walgreens, where I found a pair of glasses that suited me perfectly for less than $6.

A few years later I had started even giving away slightly scratched pairs, thus helping poorer people in Costa Rica who had no way of paying for the only available expensive types.

So, here and now, I just found this article which deals with this topic. Whereby one can find perfectly suitable glasses online for a fraction of what you would pay normally.

http://www.alternet.org/economy/why-eyewear-industry-incredible-rip


Here is a clip from the article :

"It works like this: Google "cheap glasses" to find a frame you like at a price you like at a site you like. (Among the most popular are 39DollarGlasses, ZenniOptical — where I bought mine — and Goggles4U.) Use the virtual fitting mechanism to "try it on." Type in your prescription (obtained from an actual eye doctor), pupillary distance (aka PD, derived by measuring the space between your pupils with a ruler), address and payment information. Send.

It's a virtual myopian/hyperopian/presbyopian Tea Party, led largely by Minnesota software engineer Ira Mitchell, who launched his revolutionary GlassyEyes blog (its motto is "Saving the World from Overpriced Glasses!") in 2006. Packed with forums, product reviews, discount deals, and tips for buying specs online, it's the vision-impaired version of Yelp"

[Mikelodium]

Hello friends,

First of all I want to wish you all a happy and wonderful 2015. Time flies so fast... And its been months since I last entered this forum, but as always, this village come to my mind from time to time.

I Hope your projects and wishes come true this year.

And of course love for all french people affected by the latest terrorist attack...



Peace.

Flash, you just reminded me of that one day in high school when someone in English class talked about how they absolutely loved smashed potatoes. We laughed all day long (in a friendly way, of course) because of the visual association of potatoes smashed hard against a rock wall and at the bottom, someone enjoying the melange of whatever was sliding down.

For which many thanks.

I always had a feeling when this story went viral that the restoration was unfinished.
She went on a two week vacation, but the damage was done.

Cecilia Giménez became one of Spain’s best-known living artists in August 2012. Her attempt to restore Ecce Homo – a fresco of Jesus in her local church – attracted global attention and became an online meme. More than two years later, tourists continue to trek to the village of Borja to marvel at what has been dubbed the “worst restoration in history”.

Now when I look at Ecce Homo, I see something positive. But it took me a long time to get to this point. At the beginning I suffered a lot. I cried every day. There were people waiting for me at my door, chasing me down with cameras and questions. It was too much for me – I’m an 84-year-old widow.

I’m not one of the world’s great painters. But I’ve loved painting my whole life and even had a few of my own art shows. For two decades I looked after the painting of Ecce Homo in the Santuario de Misericordia church, fixing it up whenever I thought it needed it. Because of the salt and humidity in our air here, the paint was always peeling. I’m sure that if I hadn’t taken an interest in saving the painting, it wouldn’t even exist today.

That day I noticed how badly the paint was peeling. So I wet the painting, making broad strokes. Then I left it to dry and went on holiday for two weeks, thinking I would finish the restoration when I returned.

When I came back, everybody in the world had heard about Ecce Homo. The way people reacted still hurts me, because I wasn’t finished with the restoration. I still think about how if I hadn’t gone on holiday, none of this would have ever happened.

Reporters told the world the story of the old woman who couldn’t paint and had ruined a painting. That’s not true. It is true that I haven’t done many portraits. But if it hadn’t been for me, the painting would have probably disappeared long ago.

A week after the scandal, I received flowers and a card with a message of support. It was little gestures like that kept me going during the first month. It was so hard. I lost six kilos. I had to take medication for anxiety.

More than two years later, everyone here sees what I did in a different light. The restoration has put Borja on the world map, meaning I’ve done something for my village that nobody else was able to do. So many people have come here – and to our beautiful church – to see the painting … they tell me more than 130,000 people.

When you work in art, your name is everything. And now the name Cecilia Giménez is known. I held an art show last year and I’ve got another planned for the next few months with 20 or so of my paintings. Before all this, my paintings used to sell for low prices, say €500 or €1,000 apiece. Now I’ve been able to sell a few of my pieces for more. I won’t tell you how much – but let’s just say that it was a good price for me.

There is a lot going on in the world of cell phone radiation research. Conflict of interests.
Cabal interests are covering up the results of studies done by Swedish oncologist Dr. Hardell. Here is an interview with him.

http://www.familiesagainstcancer.org/?id=412
Dr Lennart Hardell is professor in oncology and cancer epidemiology at the University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden. Most of his research has been on risk factors for cancer such as exposure to pesticides and persistent organic pollutants. Examples of such agents are herbicides, dioxins, PCBs and brominated flame-retardants. During recent years he and his co-workers have studied use of cellular and cordless telephones and the risk for brain tumours. He works also as a consultant at the Department of Oncology at the hospital.

I saw a couple of weeks ago that she'd attracted tourists and saved jobs. But I didn't know she was a decent artist (€500-1000 can't be bad?) with a restoration job only just begun. Possibly they should now hire her to do a proper restoration - and maybe confiscate her passport until it's done...

Most of his research has been on risk factors for cancer such as exposure to pesticides and persistent organic pollutants. Examples of such agents are herbicides, dioxins, PCBs and brominated flame-retardants. During recent years he and his co-workers have studied use of cellular and cordless telephones and the risk for brain tumours. He works also as a consultant at the Department of Oncology at the hospital.

I don't know about the relation between cell phones and cancer, but there is something I know for sure. I can't sleep well if there is any cell phone without plane mode activated near me when I go to bed. Same happens with computers or even television. I need to unplug de TV of my room from the wall before I go to sleep.

And I programmed my cell phone to enter plane mode from 23:30 until 07:30

The difference is huge between both cases, I can sleep with activated electronic devices near, but I wake up completely wasted.




Peace.

Mounting Evidence: Heavy Cell Phone Use Can Quadruple Your Risk of Deadly Brain Cancer

By Dr. Mercola

No one wants to hear that something as “indispensable” as your cell phone might cause grave harm to your health, but that’s exactly what mounting evidence tells us we’re faced with.

Wireless phones and other gadgets have the potential to cause all sorts of health problems, from headaches to brain tumors. The link between brain cancer and cell phone use has been a particularly persistent one, and mounting research has only made this association stronger...

As mentioned in the featured video, previous research has shown that those who begin using cell phones heavily before age 20 have four to five times more brain cancer by their late 20s, compared to those whose exposure is minimal.

In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), an arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), declared cell phones a Class B Carcinogen, meaning a “possible cancer-causing agent,” based on the available research.

This places cell phones in the same category as diesel engine exhaust, some pesticides, and some heavy metals. The expert panel ruled that there was “some evidence” that regular cell phone use increased the risk of two types of tumors – brain tumors (gliomas) and acoustic neuromas.

When you consider the fact that your body is bioelectric, it’s easier to understand how and why biological damage from wireless phones might occur.1

For starters, your body uses electrons to communicate, and inside every cell are mitochondria, the “power plants” of the cell, and these mitochondria can be adversely impacted by electromagnetic fields, resulting in cellular dysfunction. Other mechanisms of harm have also been discovered in recent years.

Wireless Phone Use Increases Risk of Malignant Brain Tumor

The latest analysis,2, 3 published online ahead of print in October, was performed by Dr. Lennart Hardell, a professor of oncology at University of Örebro in Sweden, and statistician Michael Carlberg from the same University.

The pair looked at data from two previous case-controlled studies on Swedish patients diagnosed with malignant brain tumors during the periods of 1997-2003 and 2007-2009.

The patients were between the ages of 18 and 80 years old at the time of their diagnosis. Cell phone use was ascertained via questionnaires. (Use of a hands-free device counted as non-exposure.) In all, nearly 1,500 brain cancer patients were included, along with 3,530 cancer-free controls.

Using regression analysis, adjusted for gender, age, year of diagnosis, and socioeconomic index, the odds of developing a malignant and highly lethal brain cancer called glioma rose concurrently with increased cell phone use.

The more hours spent with a cell phone pressed to their ear, and the more years they’d spent using a mobile phone, the higher the odds were.

Those who logged the most amount of hours on their cell phones were twice as likely to develop glioma compared to those who used them the least
Those who used either a cell phone or cordless house phone for more than 25 years had triple the risk of glioma, compared to those who had used wireless telephones for less than one year
To put this risk ratio into some perspective, just over five people out of 100,000 were diagnosed with malignant brain cancer between 1995 and 2002. If that rate triples, the odds of developing a malignant brain tumor rise to about 16 out of 100,000.

But, there are also signs that technology is progressively getting more harmful—not less so... As noted in the featured article:4

“The case control studies covered periods during which phone technologies had changed considerably. It started with first generation analogue phones that had an output power of 1 W at about 900 MHz.

The 2nd generation GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) phones (2G) with either 900 or 1800 MHz frequency had pulsed output power averaging tens of mW.

The 3rd generation (3G) phones UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System) are more amplitude modulated than pulsed, and typically use a broad frequency band (5 MHz width) from 700-3 590 MHz on a worldwide basis, and from 900-2 170 MHz in Europe with output power of the order of tens of μW.”

The findings show that 3G phones may cause more harm than earlier versions, raising the risk of brain cancer four-fold. It also appears to have shorter latency period—just five to 10 years, compared to about 25 years for earlier mobile phone versions.

Proposed Mechanisms of Harm

One mechanism of harm, published in 2010,5 explains how electromagnetic fields damage your cells and DNA by inducing a cellular stress response. The research was conducted by Dr. Martin Blank,6 PhD, a former Associate Professor at Columbia University in the department of physiology and cellular biophysics, and past president of the Bioelectromagnetics Society.

He gave an informative speech at the November 18, 2010 Commonwealth Club of California program, "The Health Effects of Electromagnetic Fields," co-sponsored by ElectromagneticHealth.org.

In his lecture, Dr. Blank explained that DNA, with its “coil of coils” structure, is very vulnerable to electromagnetic fields. It possesses the same structural characteristics of a fractal antenna (electronic conduction and self-symmetry), and these two properties allow for greater reactivity of DNA to electromagnetic fields than other tissues.

Moreover, no heat is required for this DNA damage to occur. Dr. Blank believes the potential harm of wireless technologies can be significant, and that there’s plenty of peer-reviewed research to back up such suspicions.

A review of 11 long-term epidemiologic studies published in the journal Surgical Neurology7 in 2009 revealed that using a cell phone for 10 years or longer approximately doubles your risk of being diagnosed with a brain tumor on the same side of the head where the cell phone is typically held. Both Dr. Hardell and Carlberg were involved in that study as well, and these findings are very similar to the findings in their latest review, discussed earlier.

Another important study, funded by the US government, was published in JAMA8, 9 in 2011. Using a specialized brain scanner capable of detecting alterations in glucose, the researchers determined that cell phone radiation triggers your brain cells to metabolize glucose at an increased rate. Glucose metabolism equates to cell activation, so the findings indicate that radiation from your cell phone has a well-defined measureable influence on your brain. Essentially, each time you put a cell phone up to your ear, you’re artificially activating your brain cells. While that much is clear, it’s still unknown whether this excess glucose production is harmful, or can cause a cascade of problems down the line.

Common-Sense Guidelines to Protect Your and Your Family’s Health

It’s important to note that researchers are in general agreement that there’s a latency period of about 10 years or more before the damage shows up, which places children at greatest risk—a risk that is potentially exacerbated with more modern 3G technologies, which appear to be even more harmful than earlier versions.

From my perspective, the evidence clearly indicates that we need to invoke the precautionary principle with regards to cell phone use, as well as other wireless technologies. Until the industry starts taking this matter seriously, the responsibility to keep children safe falls on the parents. To minimize the risk to your brain, and that of your child, pay heed to the following advice:

Don’t let your child use a cell phone. Barring a life-threatening emergency, children should not use a cell phone, or a wireless device of any type. Children are far more vulnerable to cell phone radiation than adults, because of their thinner skull bones.
Keep your cell phone use to a minimum. Turn your cell phone off more often. Reserve it for emergencies or important matters. As long as your cell phone is on, it emits radiation intermittently, even when you are not actually making a call. Use a land line at home and at work.
Reduce or eliminate your use of other wireless devices. Just as with cell phones, it is important to ask yourself whether or not you really need to use them every single time. If you must use a portable home phone, use the older kind that operates at 900 MHz. They are no safer during calls, but at least some of them do not broadcast constantly even when no call is being made. Note the only way to truly be sure if there is an exposure from your cordless phone is to measure with an electrosmog meter, and it must be one that goes up to the frequency of your portable phone (so old meters won’t help much). As many portable phones are 5.8 Gigahertz, we recommend you look for RF meters that go up to 8 Gigahertz.
You can find RF meters at www.EMFSafetyStore.com. Even without an RF meter, you can be fairly certain your portable phone is problematic if the technology is labeled DECT, or digitally enhanced cordless technology. Alternatively, you can be very careful with the base station placement as that causes the bulk of the problem since it transmits signals 24/7, even when you aren't talking. If you can keep the base station at least three rooms away from where you spend most of your time, and especially your bedroom, they may not be as damaging to your health. Ideally it would be helpful to turn off or disconnect your base station every night before you go to bed.

Limit cell phone use to areas with excellent reception. The weaker the reception, the more power your phone must use to transmit, and the more power it uses, the more radiation it emits, and the deeper the dangerous radio waves penetrate into your body. Ideally, you should only use your phone with full bars and good reception.
Avoid carrying your cell phone on your body, and do not sleep with it below your pillow or near your head. Ideally, put it in your purse or carrying bag. Placing a cell phone in your bra or in a shirt pocket over your heart is asking for trouble, as is placing it in a man's pocket if he seeks to preserve his fertility. The most dangerous place to be, in terms of radiation exposure, is within about six inches of the emitting antenna. You do not want any part of your body within that area while the phone is on.
Don't assume one cell phone is safer than another.There's no such thing as a "safe" cell phone.
Respect others; many are highly sensitive to EMF. Some people who have become sensitive can feel the effects of others' cell phones in the same room, even when it is on but not being used. If you are in a meeting, on public transportation, in a courtroom or other public places, such as a doctor's office, keep your cell phone turned off out of consideration for the “secondhand radiation” effects. Children are also more vulnerable, so please avoid using your cell phone near children.
Use a well-shielded wired headset: Wired headsets will certainly allow you to keep the cell phone farther away from your body. However, if a wired headset is not well-shielded -- and most of them are not -- the wire itself can act as an antenna attracting and transmitting radiation directly to your brain. So make sure the wire used to transmit the signal to your ear is shielded. One of the best kinds of headsets use a combination of shielded wire and air-tube. These operate like a stethoscope, transmitting the sound to your head as an actual sound wave; although there are wires that still must be shielded, there is no wire that goes all the way up to your head.

And the reconstruction, interestingly, has some Klezmer touches to it too.

Post-update

Okay, let's see what else:

- I took some time for watercolouring yesterday. Did a Rosemary plant. It was very relaxing and a lot of fun, and it was almost as good as seeing a friend you haven't seen in so many years. My interest has now been sparked to do more botanicals.

- I've been trained to not complain about some things. And I've been punished in the past when I did. Then people say: "Don't play the victim."
Play, they say. Like you script it at home first.
"Don't deny your own role in this turn of events."
And after that, you learn to shut up. You grow tired of having to explain yourself as much as you grow tired of others demanding that you explain yourself when it pleases them.

I remember an evening in the nineties, Belgium, and my mother was out working and for not making a short story needlessly long, I was home alone, a young kid. That evening a mass demonstration would be going through our street too. It was of the far right wing political movement. My mother called me from work to see if I was ok and she warned me whatever I do, don't get the idea to go out. When you hear that mass coming (the demonstrators, she meant), turn out the lights and keep quiet. And she said it so stern, as if my life would depend on such a mistake. Of course, that demonstration wasn't all that big of deal, like I see it now, but back then it was very scary. And so I hid in the dark bedroom on the streetside curiously peeking through the window and observing in awe my normally empty street, now stuffed with a large group of angry right wingers shouting inappropriate things to my young ears. My childish imagination did not exclude the possibility of those angry people breaking through our door and taking me. Where would they take me? God, I was scared.

I'm not scared today. It's ok, wherever I must be, there I probably am. I work on awareness and aware choices that I can support. But at the same it's not ok. The hate, the anger, and that look on people's faces. It is not ok what is happening and I can't (always) say that here where I live, in the middle of Europe, which is extraordinary in a way, and in the light of the freedom of speech such as is being fought for at this very instance.

Many of the cartoons you will have seen over the last couple of days just rework the ‘pen is mightier than the sword’ theme, thereby falling prey to the phallocratric ‘mighty penis’ fallacy whereby the pencil is a weapon and we are fighting a war. It is not and we are not. Sure, it has physical attributes that lend themselves to such an interpretation – actually, these guys were mostly using blunt felt tips but we see none of these – but these days most people are not drawing pictures anyway but typing into some electronic device. Then of course to claim ‘the keypad is mightier than the kalashnikov’ offers a neat alliteration but it doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Unquestionably, political cartoonists are at the sharp end of the pencil, and if you are a part of that pencil, your turn will come to be at the sharp end and symbolically die. That means that instead of being part of the pencil you become part of the paper and become ‘immortalized’ in the cartoon. But if that is what you really want, you need to acknowledge that you are being manipulated by that part of yourself that is the draughtsman holding the pencil. This means that you take responsibility for the content of the drawing and that if that content is not to your liking, you take an eraser to it.

This establishes two levels of reality: on the one hand the 3D real-life cartoonist, and on the other the fictional 2D character they have dreamed up and given a mere semblance of reality. These thoughts came to me on seeing a cartoon I hadn’t seen on the net but that was sent to me by email.

There seems to be some confusion between a false-flag attack and a fake attack such as the play-acting from start to finish that we saw at Sandy Hook. Here both these levels are being made to interact. There are cartoon characters playing havoc with real people in a kind of nightmarish version of Pygmalion and Galatea.

I personally see no point in poking fun at people with zero sense of humour; it is like holding a red rag to an otherwise peaceful bull. But we collectively are seeing how our mischievous streak can lead to real mischief. A raging bull is much more exciting than a quiet one, until, that is, you get hurt.

But, as I was saying, if you don’t like the reality you have drawn for yourself, time to rub it out and start again. Those people brandishing a pen might do better brandishing an eraser.

So far no one else has brought up this angle around here. But I'm also interested in the overall dynamics of the agenda being played out here...the West with its partially permissive society versus Islam with it's partially fiercely defended traditions.

Ever since Salman Rushdie published his novel The Satanic Verses and the British government had to give him police protection due to the Ayatollah's call to assassinate him this "teasing of the bull" has been going on.

Personally, I don't endorse disrespect of other's religions, no matter how weird they seem. If people are respected, without giving in to their attempts at proseletysing, there is a better chance that they might free themselves on their own accord.
If teased and provoked and harassed they only dig their hooves deeper into the ground, or worse, charge.
Since we now know that the PTB play both ends of this game, in order to speed up their agenda of erasing Islamic culture, we can assume that provocative cartoonists as well as fake jihadi avengers are being used to herd the masses into a certain mindset.

Freedom of expression taken to extremes is another form of extremism. The alternative is not between saying your piece and holding your peace. Silence does not automatically mean consent and speaking out does not necessarily mean dissent. On the contrary, silence is a good way of withholding agreement without breeding conflict, and quietly voicing one’s thoughts is a good way of building agreement instead of breeding conflict.

What is needed is a non-rhetorical use of communication. Cartoons are non-rhetorical when they raise a laugh. Political cartoons are highly rhetorical when they make a point, as they have to do. Cabu explains in an interview that a picture has none of the refinement of a thousand words: a cartoon has the two seconds it takes to read the caption in which to state its case; it goes off like a bomb. In other words, it is ultimately totally unsubtle and insensitive; probably not the way to go, or at least the pitfalls are understandable.

Freedom of expression is a valid principle in excluding any external restraint on what one might say. Another valid principle for living together in harmony calls for self-imposed restraint against saying things that might prove hurtful for whatever reason however irrational. We all have buttons that we don’t like people pressing, and so we refrain from pressing theirs. My wife is scared of mice, so I avoid triggering that phobia. It has something to do with the need to feel important, more important. As the saying goes, it is nice to be important, but most of all it is important to be nice.

‘Nice’ is a word that has been totally diluted of any significant content, hence it is the first word you are taught to avoid when seeking a decent writing style. To me, being nice means a combination of all the nobler things denoted by its more powerful synonyms, making it the most powerful word in the language. It does not mean however sweeping one’s darker side under the carpet.

‘Partial permissiveness’ is a useful notion here. A good while back I made several posts on the Puritan-Catholic wars of Elizabethan England as played out in the works of Shakespeare. Briefly restated, the Puritanical view is unable to reconcile the various aspects of the (divine) feminine, the pure mother and wife with the whore, the impure sexual being. Hence the rape of Lucretia or the murder of Desdemona, to name two straightforward examples.

Apparently this is still unfinished business. In the 17th century you had the civil war leading to the Puritans overthrowing the Catholic king Charles I, followed by the restoration of his son Charles II. As I recall, the founding fathers of America were a Puritanical exodus out of that mess. The US is to this day a hugely puritanical country, with the one radical exception of California, a state that couldn’t be pushed any further west. As I pointed out in the other thread, the Charlie Hebdo culture is also a pure product of the rebellious sixties closer to California than to the east coast or midwest.

For the Puritanical culture this repressed feminine has always been the enemy. They said on Wednesday that they were killing no women (a lie). I showed on Monday how there was no paradox in filling huge men-only graveyards by repressing one’s own feminine side. The gulf between the clean, upright aura of respectability and the hidden dark side has reached an extreme with the utter depravity of the sexual goings-on now coming to light; compared with that, the rape of Lucretia is on a level with the crime of a TV personality. Islamist fundamentalists are naturally in danger of being sucked in through that part of the agenda to the extent that their attitude to women fits in with it.

But we are all in danger of getting sucked in one way or another, including even the mildest ‘everyone-does-it’ forms of corruption. This is when we finally get past the ‘what can we do about the evil cabal agenda?’ to getting our own houses in order, which is the answer to that question. The next thing to understand is that you become squeaky clean not because you have to, but because you understand enough to want to.

So, contrary to what many are thinking, this week was not another 911. America sees things in terms of wealth, and with all due respect 911 was like having a pickpocket steal its wallet, resulting in a chase to catch the thief. The French version is more to do with an insult to our intelligence: this attack says, You people think you’re clever, but actually you’re pretty dumb. I think that this criticism is valid in proportion as the method of formulating it was vile. The world has traditionally looked to France as one source of intelligent thinking, but she has been falling dismally short of that expectation for quite some time now. This intellectual bankruptcy is what now needs to be put right on a global scale. Understanding, like charity, begins at home: we have been dumb, but we’re going to be smarter, all of us.

In the 17th century you had the civil war leading to the Puritans overthrowing the Catholic king Charles I, followed by the restoration of his son Charles II. As I recall, the founding fathers of America were a Puritanical exodus out of that mess. The US is to this day a hugely puritanical country, with the one radical exception of California, a state that couldn’t be pushed any further west. As I pointed out in the other thread, the Charlie Hebdo culture is also a pure product of the rebellious sixties closer to California than to the east coast or midwest.

For the Puritanical culture this repressed feminine has always been the enemy. They said on Wednesday that they were killing no women (a lie). I showed on Monday how there was no paradox in filling huge men-only graveyards by repressing one’s own feminine side. The gulf between the clean, upright aura of respectability and the hidden dark side has reached an extreme with the utter depravity of the sexual goings-on now coming to light; compared with that, the rape of Lucretia is on a level with the crime of a TV personality. Islamist fundamentalists are naturally in danger of being sucked in through that part of the agenda to the extent that their attitude to women fits in with it.

But we are all in danger of getting sucked in one way or another, including even the mildest ‘everyone-does-it’ forms of corruption. This is when we finally get past the ‘what can we do about the evil cabal agenda?’ to getting our own houses in order, which is the answer to that question. The next thing to understand is that you become squeaky clean not because you have to, but because you understand enough to want to.

So, contrary to what many are thinking, this week was not another 911. America sees things in terms of wealth, and with all due respect 911 was like having a pickpocket steal its wallet, resulting in a chase to catch the thief. The French version is more to do with an insult to our intelligence: this attack says, You people think you’re clever, but actually you’re pretty dumb. I think that this criticism is valid in proportion as the method of formulating it was vile. The world has traditionally looked to France as one source of intelligent thinking, but she has been falling dismally short of that expectation for quite some time now. This intellectual bankruptcy is what now needs to be put right on a global scale. Understanding, like charity, begins at home: we have been dumb, but we’re going to be smarter, all of us.


The building of 'range' in the individual. Reach, if that is a more understood word. Stretch, range, reach, volumetric capacity.

Intelligence relies upon not one set value but range in sum total of capacity.

It's about strength of cohesion vs range of dilution. The closer to the breaking point the greater the intelligence the greater the capacity, in ultimate outcome.

Well adjusted does not mean a bump on a rock (if you will) that has experienced nothing, but a bump on a rock (if you will) that has been and existed as all manner of things.

....the rape of Lucretia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucretia)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg9buWTwCcI

[Carmody]

I didn't know that more children are born at full moon.
Full moon means there is an axis…the energies of the sun come into the earth from one side,
and the energies of the moon from the opposite.
So here we come to my favorite personal subject, that astrology is not so much about 12 signs, but about six axis of two signs each:
signs which either complement one another (provided there is an open attitude and love) or reject one another outright,
due to the aversion of one's own repressed and unacknowledged tendencies.

Also, as Carmody has indicated, whatever your birth moon, (Jewish) circumcision is deliberately timed one week later in order, as I recall, to cause most damage.

Last year, I had ideas of starting a thread on what might be done about the Moon: if it came here under its own steam, there shouldn’t be a problem getting rid of it – beyond putting it in reverse gear out of its parking orbit. That was the feasibility part, but I was also thinking of the desirability aspect. We are told all the good things that the Moon does for us, but is that really the case and shouldn’t we have a referendum on independence?

I think I’ll rephrase that ….

Ritual circumcision linked to increased risk of autism in young boys (http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-01-ritual-circumcision-linked-autism-young.html)


Painful experiences in neonates have been shown in animal and human studies to be associated with long-term alterations in pain perception, a characteristic often encountered among children with ASD.

"Possible mechanisms linking early life pain and stress to an increased risk of neurodevelopmental, behavioural or psychological problems in later life remain incompletely conceptualised," said Professor Frisch. "Given the widespread practice of non-therapeutic circumcision in infancy and childhood around the world, our findings should prompt other researchers to examine the possibility that circumcision trauma in infancy or early childhood might carry an increased risk of serious neurodevelopmental and psychological consequences."




We are told all the good things that the Moon does for us, but is that really the case and shouldn’t we have a referendum on independence?

Which of course, is related to the Stockholm syndrome aspect of parasitical encumbrance that has been endured over a relatively significant timeframe. Once the secondary or ancillary structures that surround the unfolding of the event ..emerge..then we get to the feeling of loss and fear of unknowns that can prevent the group and individual 'breaking loose' from the obviously ill and negative 'tradition'. Ie, once out of a falsified jail term/sentence... and set loose in the world, again..free..the rolling of the freedom dice does indeed leave a person or group feeling nervous about futures which are open and uncharted. For some. Others may prefer freedoms, freedoms based on new states of knowing/histories.

[ulli]

So far no one else has brought up this angle around here. But I'm also interested in the overall dynamics of the agenda being played out here...the West with its partially permissive society versus Islam with it's partially fiercely defended traditions.
Freedom of expression taken to extremes is another form of extremism. The alternative is not between saying your piece and holding your peace. Silence does not automatically mean consent and speaking out does not necessarily mean dissent. On the contrary, silence is a good way of withholding agreement without breeding conflict, and quietly voicing one’s thoughts is a good way of building agreement instead of breeding conflict.

What is needed is a non-rhetorical use of communication. Cartoons are non-rhetorical when they raise a laugh. Political cartoons are highly rhetorical when they make a point, as they have to do. Cabu explains in an interview that a picture has none of the refinement of a thousand words: a cartoon has the two seconds it takes to read the caption in which to state its case; it goes off like a bomb. In other words, it is ultimately totally unsubtle and insensitive; probably not the way to go, or at least the pitfalls are understandable.

Freedom of expression is a valid principle in excluding any external restraint on what one might say. Another valid principle for living together in harmony calls for self-imposed restraint against saying things that might prove hurtful for whatever reason however irrational. We all have buttons that we don’t like people pressing, and so we refrain from pressing theirs. My wife is scared of mice, so I avoid triggering that phobia. It has something to do with the need to feel important, more important. As the saying goes, it is nice to be important, but most of all it is important to be nice.

‘Nice’ is a word that has been totally diluted of any significant content, hence it is the first word you are taught to avoid when seeking a decent writing style. To me, being nice means a combination of all the nobler things denoted by its more powerful synonyms, making it the most powerful word in the language. It does not mean however sweeping one’s darker side under the carpet.

‘Partial permissiveness’ is a useful notion here. A good while back I made several posts on the Puritan-Catholic wars of Elizabethan England as played out in the works of Shakespeare. Briefly restated, the Puritanical view is unable to reconcile the various aspects of the (divine) feminine, the pure mother and wife with the whore, the impure sexual being. Hence the rape of Lucretia or the murder of Desdemona, to name two straightforward examples.

Apparently this is still unfinished business. In the 17th century you had the civil war leading to the Puritans overthrowing the Catholic king Charles I, followed by the restoration of his son Charles II. As I recall, the founding fathers of America were a Puritanical exodus out of that mess.

Lots of stuff in here to comment on, but will try and restrain myself, as there are other priorities calling for my attention.

One comment...
The US is to this day a hugely puritanical country, with the one radical exception of California, a state that couldn’t be pushed any further west.

while I agree, I would like to add one thought. The ships which brought large crowds of immigrants across the Atlantic not only ferried puritans and other victims of the reformation wars, (i.e.protestants and their bibles) but also large numbers of criminals who were running from the hangman in their home country.
These two groups formed two distinct camps, both of which thrived, and which led to mega churches as well as organized crime.
The indigenous, and also imported slaves, as well as migrant workers from south of the border form the lower part of the pyramid thus constructed.
My question is how the puritans blended with the criminal gang to form today's elite?

This statement of yours

But we are all in danger of getting sucked in one way or another, including even the mildest ‘everyone-does-it’ forms of corruption. This is when we finally get past the ‘what can we do about the evil cabal agenda?’ to getting our own houses in order, which is the answer to that question. The next thing to understand is that you become squeaky clean not because you have to, but because you understand enough to want to.

brought up another thought, namely this:
the fact that people focus so much on the cabal being evil is a sign that they themselves haven't yet learnt to tame their inner saboteur...
that part of their own person which undermines all efforts to rise up in that inner pyramid of personal power.
When that internal personal government is fully established inside a certain percentage of earthlings, then the outer world will follow suit automatically.

As above, so below.

P.S. I wasn't intending this last paragraph to be a personal dig at you, araucaria, but more at the alternative community as a whole.

WRT Free Speech.....

To me, continental humor is pretty much of the same flavor though each country does it in their own unique tonal variation of it. French humor seems to venture more into the extreme end of that continuum, the end that a lot of mid-western American’s, for example, would find too raw and taste-less for their own sensitivities; that is with the exception of those who enjoy black humor. Then again, a lot of French humor is rather banal so IMHO, they seem to go from one extreme to the other when it comes to what they consider funny.

But just like “The Onion” would be on the extreme polar end of American satire, it would still be considered trite compared to the French satirical magazine “Charlie Hebdo” which is a far-reaching version of French humor in its rawest form. WRT this current incident, it will be interesting how France is going to approach this over-reaching form of humor that magazine uses without trampling on such notions as ‘freedom of expression’. They certainly DO curtail that already with their banning of the burka but I’ve got a hunch they are not going to see any irony in that one … at all.

I suppose by "strength of cohesion" you are referring to the ability to connect dots, rather than just piling on of information.

A little further than that.

ie, that a person who has not gone 'insane' (absolute and total breakdown, no vestige of return left), who has not, at least once wholly broken with reality, to have come to the edge, within their idea of self..the hope of returning to coherence...... that centric and unventured being has no idea of their limits.

To come so close to that state, that the taste of it is full and all encompassing.

And then return. Return to this flesh, this vessel, this container, this limited box.

The idea that truth only comes when all hope is lost, when all flesh driven attempts at cohesion leave the field of existence, that they leave as a form of colorant and driver or filter of human existence.

Until that moment comes, in some basic and real form, for the individual and humanity in general, until that time..the room and capacity for parasitical encumbrance of the individual and group...will remain.

In other words, living on the edge, dying multiple times every day...hmm...tell me about it...
Story of my life. As I get older I tend to avoid this more and more, unfortunately.

But then just looking ahead and facing the next planetary transit, as I'm doing right now,
(Neptune opposite natal Saturn, Uranus square Jupiter) takes care of enough internal challenges...

[Carmody]

Of course, the clarity comes in the still and quiet, the moments and times of recovery, the place where the contemplation can take place. Where the experiences are extrapolated into new growth.

the body can only handle so much, so to nurse or husband the episodes and times of stress.

Thus... the cyclic nature of astrology, and it's manifold directions and potentials in outcomes.

You know my chart. I be surfin' big waves.

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/01/09/sports/09surf.1.600.jpg

The other day I read something that made me feel a bit guilty. That I was not there, to help, and hoped that some other had the strength to help in such a dire situation. not just strength, per se, but also experience. To have experienced enough things, and to have the cohesion required to flow through the depth of intensity in polarities of the moment, for it would be required in such a scenario. I mentioned that i had done so before and of course, most, with limited experience, would dismiss such a statement as an outright falsification and self delusion. that such a horror could exist for an individual ...and to add in the OBE astral aspects of such involvement. to live in that state of horror, and then enter the situation wholly, to assist in the creation of calm, for the clean exit in 'right states'... so that given being whom is lost in the moment, lost into lower realms, so that outcome....simply does not happen. I offer, for the record... that the physicality of this premise point, as a reality, really does happen.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jan/07/dozens-dead-and-injured-after-bomb-explodes-at-yemen-police-college


“The situation is catastrophic. We arrived to find bodies piled on top of each other,” a paramedic at the scene told Reuters as ambulances took casualties away.

“We found the top part of one person yelling, while his bottom half was completely severed.”

To circle back to my point, the body, the vessel... can only handle so much, and the extremes must be put away (at least for a time) so the information can be processed. The cyclic and manifold (multifaceted) nature of astrology, as the record of imprint of temporal and existential flow in this 3d time/quantum based realm.

Can't save them all, nor should anyone try (but the attempt is educational)....but some can be helped. The capacity to be free to roll the dice, means that potential for failure must also be 'real'.

Default Re: A major new interview with a Project Avalon Whistleblower (Questions for GoodETxSG)
Over thirty years ago I had two major hallucinations, one of which involved a tarantula and the other was about a massive react angular stone, black, the identical one which appeared in the movie 2001, A Space Odyssey.
I remember both incidences clearly. I had just fallen asleep, and forgotten to turn off the bedside light.
Suddenly I woke up, in time to see a massive spider run along to top of our curtain rail. Needless to say, such spiders didn't exist in Central London apartments. I knew it was a vision, or hallucination, although seemed real. While still contemplating the event my then husband woke up, with a scream of terror, sitting bolt upright in bed. And said "OMG, did you see that huge spider?" So that made me wonder about where this vision originated from.

Around that same time, another night, I had gone to comfort my newborn baby in the room next door, and fallen asleep on his bed. When suddenly I woke up with another hallucination, of this huge metallic looking highly polished stone, sitting on the window sill.
I knew about how brain waves, when in alpha, could perceive other-dimensional stuff between sleeping and waking. Later that day, at breakfast, my son's nanny who was living with us, and her room was near the entrance of the apartment, told us how she had had a weird vision that night, of some kind of a poltergeist breaking down the front door and with a lot of noise heading down to where our bedrooms were. When we checked the hours of our strange experiences they were the same.

Later when my astrology teacher called me about something she said she noticed that my telephone was being tapped. She told me that the (British) government had a multi-story building with at least 200 people working day and night, doing surveillance by tapping personal phone lines, and that astrologers were high on their list. She also thought that my new interest in astrology would have aroused their interest. I'm now wondering if all those events were connected, as they tie in with what you have been sharing here.

I'm a firm believer that picking certain pages, or paragraphs, out of writings which contain higher knowledge,
balanced knowledge, one gets meaningful messages in the context of current events.

So I just picked this passage out of that little Handbook of the New Paradigm, and found this.
And it fit my current thoughts, on how to maintain one's abilities to manifest goodness:


"That which comes into being through the focus of thought is maintained through continued focus.
It continues as long as it serves its purpose,
and the focus of positive attention holds it in manifestation.
When support for this is withdrawn, it returns to chaos."

Of course there is always room to try and start over again, or explore new avenues altogether.
All is a matter of conscious choice.
As a designer/artist I can confirm that the creation of any masterpiece rises out of the chaos of infinite random possibilities.

"That which comes into being through the focus of thought is maintained through continued focus.
It continues as long as it serves its purpose,
and the focus of positive attention holds it in manifestation.
When support for this is withdrawn, it returns to chaos."

Of course there is always room to try and start over again, or explore new avenues altogether.
All is a matter of conscious choice.
As a designer/artist I can confirm that the creation of any masterpiece rises out of the chaos of infinite random possibilities.

[Ol' Roy]

Ullie, came out of the" closet" (I am going to do it to!) The REAL YOU as we speak! You would't believe it! Beautiful! As always!

I have always been incuisitive , from my 30's on! Taken courses here and there! Silva Method!( Do you really want a list? PM me), Wade Frazier took that. Ask him on anther thread.

Anyway! When you posted your new AVATAR. It lit up like a Christmas Tree! During one of the exercises, I was as to come of two with two mentors. I envisioned two white scientiest, one was older male, 80's and a female early to late 60's, maybe even 70!

Anyway, you were one of them! Not the old man! lol! But the beautiful wise women! I can just picture you and I sitting by the river bank, whatching the falls coming over the river! With your husbands permission of course! As I have told Paula, you, 1-In-Many, Nat_Lee, Dawn, and many other females! You are so beautiful to me! Yes, you Guys too! (DAMN IT!)

PS! It scared the holy crap out of me! I had all these powers and I . didn't know how to handle them. Find out for yourself!

[Ol' Roy]

I know! I'm deranged! But it was you in a white robe! Alost 30 years ago!

Peace my dear!

Peace my dear!

Wow, your memory for faces is impressive. Unlike mine.
Just remember, projecting special qualities onto me will mean that you might be diminishing yourself.
Calling yourself deranged is in no way a sign of humility either, more of someone who is a bit too hard on themselves.

Maybe the dream was meant to alert you to the special energy we all here are creating with this Here and Now Village.
Stick around, kid.....

The answer to your question, "Is Ol' Roy seeing and doing what we are and becoming?" is:


35. Chin - Progress

-----
-- -- above Li The Clinging, Flame
-----
-- --
-- -- below K'un The Receptive, Earth
-- --

The Judgement

Progress. The powerful prince
Is honored with horses in large numbers.
In a single day he is granted audience three times.

The Image

The sun rises over the earth:
The image of Progress.
Thus the superior man himself
Brightens his bright virtue.

Changing Lines

Changing yin at the bottom means:
Progressing, but turned back.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
If one meets with no confidence, one should remain calm.
No mistake.

Changing yin in the second place means:
Progressing, but in sorrow.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Then one obtains great happiness from one's ancestress.

Changing yin in the third place means:
All are in accord. Remorse disappears.

Changing yang in the fourth place means:
Progress like a hamster.
Perseverance brings danger.

Changing yin in the fifth place means:
Remorse disappears.
Take not gain and loss to heart.
Undertakings bring good fortune.
Everything serves to further.

Changing yang at the top means:
Making progress with the horns is permissible
Only for the purpose of punishing one's own city.
To be conscious of danger brings good fortune.
No blame.
Perseverance brings humiliation.

Dear Ulli. WOW!

I took one course in philosophy in college and I think you summed it up in 3 or 4 sentence's I am talking about my whole course!

Or here's looking at you kid! After Ulli lament, maybe, I am not so stupid after all!

Rosie Vela needs healing. I would like anyone who sees this post to send her healing energies.
A very talented singer, beautiful former model, who never received a cent from the sales of her only album, Zazu, which was produced by Steely Dan. The record company obviously knew more how to become rich off of young talents than she did.

She is now living here in Barbados and trying to recover from several surgery mishaps.
I would so love to see an end to her pain and suffering. Needs a miracle.

Another singer I knew a long time ago, Wilko Johnson of the band Dr. Feelgood, who was dying of cancer a year ago
and for whom I also pleaded the Villagers to send healing energies, is now completely cancer free.

Lets see what we all can do for Rosie.

That was no sabbatical Marianne, it was what is known technically as a long weekend :) Other less dedicated members like myself tend to disappear for a month at a time. I don't know how you mods do it. It's our turn to say Hats off!

Love this cartoon. I can relate, for sure.

The Internet has taught me so much, and there is no way of learning these lessons unless one makes mistakes,
and debates and argues, until one realises that the more one uses this approach others will only reenforce their stance.

So in the end I now just say my thing, avoiding confrontations, and occasionally add to someone's ideas but always mindful that by agreeing too emphatically they may not benefit from that either.

Each one must be allowed to make up their own minds, in their own space.
In their own comfort zone. One cannot meditate in a war zone.
And that is the environment I want to nurture around here.

On the lighter side of the last few days, just as the Vatican has two popes, France has two presidents. Sarkozy was twice pushed back to the third row of Sunday’s march and twice pushed his way into the front, the second time with his wife Carla Bruni.

Meanwhile the real president provoked great mirth (and relief of tension) while offering condolences to the grief-stricken Charlie Hebdo survivors when some pigeon droppings landed on his shoulder.

Rabbit Island - Nature's Weirdest Events
2ixspJ-SnMk


Published on Jan 12, 2015

Programme website: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02fbxgn No-one really knows why the bunnies are here, but they are now a big tourist attraction.

[Carmody]

just had a 'battle royale', in the downstairs bathroom, with a weasel. seriously. No idea how it got in the house, but it made noise last night and kept me up, running across me and the bed, when I was sleeping. Finally cornered it in part of the house then cornered it in the bathroom, which thankfully has tiled walls and a tiled floor.

Then we had a battle of feints, counter-feints, spitting, screeching and a bit of speed....and a bit of blood. not my blood. But I got a bucket on top of it and then got a board underneath that, and got it out of the house.

I think it killed all the mice in the house before it came to that, and I think it was in the house for many days before I figured things out..as all of a sudden..a while back..no mice.

It was only then, when it was cornered in the bathroom... that I found out that they have scent glands like a skunk. That's why it's a good thing the bathroom is all ceramic tiles. That is one pungent odour.

They could probably use some at that rabbit island. The grass would probably like that.

[ulli]

And last night, while browsing, I saw a funny picture of a beaver, and thought of you Carmody, and the fun we all had here a while ago when you disclosed to us that a gland in beaver's butts produced a secretion which was then used as a flavor enhancer in raspberry yoghurts. And I nearly posted it here, for old times sake, but then I thought, Nah! No longer funny...times have changed.
And here you are with another animal adventure. Weasel, eh? Weasel!

Also read ferret - more here (http://www.shamanicjourney.com/article/6133/ferret-power-animal-symbol-of-keen-observation)

"...The ferret is a powerful totem, and can aid you to uncover a hidden part of yourself, deep beneath the surface are the answers to life's mysteries. If you are finding it hard to comprehend something in your life, meditate on the ferret and listen to and follow what you are told if you so wish. "


http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Animals/weasel_zps83438e83.JPG

If WEASEL shows up, it means:

Be in business deals and dig beneath what you see and hear.
During this period, eat small amounts of food throughout the day rather than three larger meals.
Trust your senses about other people as to whom to trust.
Spend a couple of days in silence observing, whether by yourself or in a crowd.
You’re protective and fearless when it comes to defending your family or home.

If WEASEL is your POWER ANIMAL:

You’re analytical and tend to look for reasons behind any experience.
You’re a solitary individual, enjoying the peacefulness of time alone.
You have the unique ability to maintain silence so well that you go unnoticed, and are often privy to things that are done or said by others without their being aware of your presence.
Although not easily angered, if provoked, you tend to go for the throat and don’t let go easily.

Oh dear. Another weird coincidence. I was stung under my chin last night, by the only mosquito that ever entered my Barbados apartment sine December 15.
Woke me up.
The landlord had finally put screens on all windows, because I had this fear go getting chikungunya, which has become rampant around here.
So what's up with that?? Carmody's weasel being channeled by a mosquito now????

This is interesting. It gives me new appreciation for the little sucker.

Mosquito (http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/dictionary_of_insects.html):

Mosquito reminds you to listen to the lessons you are experiencing. She shows how to listen to the patterns in your life so that you can fill nourished and fulfilled once again.

She demonstrates the art of timing: movement and progression, rest and relaxation. What should you be doing?

It may be a period of increased creativity and new endeavors.

Mosquito medicine demonstrates the power of positive and negative energies. She shows how to transform personal attitudes and aids in recognizing attitudes of others.

What is draining your energy?

She shows spiritual and emotional nourishment is needed. Be strong and forthright. Fully trust your intuition, listen to your emotions and body reactions or it may "sting and itch" later.

Mosquito offers opportunities to revitalize your spirit, take them when they appear. Her lessons span about 14 days. She shows how to move easily through the first three stages of egg, larva, and pupa. In the last stage she shows a time of rest.

Although she is little in size, Mosquito has big medicine to teach.

That made sense, in more ways than one, Paula.
I'm restored to my old joke-sharing self.

Well spotted. My daughter-in-law also pointed this out to me several hours ago.
But I needed to find the connection to the earlier beaver story, and I didn't expect anyone around here to show up here and spot the error.
The second photo, however, is of a real beaver.

Some things are good to do in this life and some things will not work in this life. It seems all perfect and well in your mind and when you bring it out of there, all hell breaks loose and you think: but how? It seemed so perfect in my mind.

That's right, your mind. We don't live in your mind. This is not your world. It's ours together, and it's a composite, and a compromis of externalisations of all our individual worlds; what we allow of it to be externalised, what we deem acceptable, managable, tolerable,...

Finding one's place in a group is easier for some than it is for others. In astrology the indicators are to be found in the 11th house. In my case Uranus in Gemini, in the 11th house. Since Uranus rules Aquarius, the 11th sign, it is a similar energy.
So with Uranus there the group definitely lets me know in what areas I need to wake up.
If I had Venus there my life would be different, probably regular cake and coffee fests with a bunch of girlfriends, chatting about the attendants in a nail salon. And everyone always in agreement.
When I was looking at Avalon members charts I found quite a few had Uranus in the 11th house.

Thank you Violet, this is exactly what I meant the other day, in the discussion over the word 'illuminés', in saying we are talking about ungrounded nonsense. A compromise of externalisations includes things like agreeing to accept the dictionary meaning of words rather than what you imagine them to mean in your mind, especially those words we agree to accept as part of a nation's written constitution. And yes, all hell breaks loose when we can't accept that.

[ulli]

Acceptance..perfect word for this morning's coffee reflection.
All my suffering has been caused by my rejection of the here and now of a given moment where I felt separated from wholeness. The stronger one's desire nature the greater the feelings of scarcity, of neediness.
So, yeah, acceptance is a good starting point if one wants to return to clarity.

And each time one individual returns to a state of clarity there is a ripple effect, which goes outward, and which inspires others to do the same. So, coming out of denial, and admitting confusion, and even accepting it, is only one small step.

Seeking clarity is paramount as the next step. Without going on a clarity quest that holy grail can't ever be found.
So this is not about the kind of acceptance one wants to get stuck in.

What many people hold on to as an absolute truth is only one small stepping stone.

The coffee fests make sense, I know at least two ladies off the top of my head with Venus in that house and they are definitely cookie women...What would a Jupiter do in that house if it already had a Uranus sitting in there?

Speaking of high tea, I'm seeing some good friends this weekend and I bought a book for the oldest son, but since he's in the autism spectre, I'm doubting my choice now. It's a fiction book, thriller, quite dramatic about missing persons, running away from home, stuff. I thought, you know, the kid's in puberty, they go through so much emotions, I liked reading about confusion when I was his age. After that, you know it's okay, and that other children are feeling the same things at your age. Of course, with the AS, I don't want him taking any ideas to literally...Hm, best let his mom decide whether he can have it or not. And it looked like such a good idea when I ordered it :p

Oh dear. Another weird coincidence. I was stung under my chin last night, by the only mosquito that ever entered my Barbados apartment sine December 15.
Woke me up.
The landlord had finally put screens on all windows, because I had this fear go getting chikungunya, which has become rampant around here.
So what's up with that?? Carmody's weasel being channeled by a mosquito now????

Check, 1 nasty mosquito bugging me last night. The last one left late Septemberish.

My morning coffee reflection has more to do with "conspiracies stupidity" - and here I do not think of conspiracy theories, but rather at our personal reactions stemming from it.

How in the world has love, tolerance and genuine goodness been supplanted by conspiracies even in our private lifes? Is the contamination THAT deep that we cannot even hold in our heart and head the right attitude towards our loved ones?

Are we getting that fanatic that it impedes the actions of one's heart and one's clear judgment? To me, it feels at times as bad as any religious fanatic losing his heart and his critical thinking abilities.

My conclusions:

There is no conspiracies, no state of being, no ET, no nobody that will stop me from loving those around me, from acting on true love acceptance, from having my critical thinking process clear in order to serve those I love. Thinking differently is pure bullock.

Bottom line: never give up on those whose love you share or shared

Some things are good to do in this life and some things will not work in this life. It seems all perfect and well in your mind and when you bring it out of there, all hell breaks loose and you think: but how? It seemed so perfect in my mind.

That's right, your mind. We don't live in your mind. This is not your world. It's ours together, and it's a composite, and a compromis of externalisations of all our individual worlds; what we allow of it to be externalised, what we deem acceptable, managable, tolerable,...

Finding one's place in a group is easier for some than it is for others. In astrology the indicators are to be found in the 11th house. In my case Uranus in Gemini, in the 11th house. Since Uranus rules Aquarius, the 11th sign, it is a similar energy.
So with Uranus there the group definitely lets me know in what areas I need to wake up.
If I had Venus there my life would be different, probably regular cake and coffee fests with a bunch of girlfriends, chatting about the attendants in a nail salon. And everyone always in agreement.
When I was looking at Avalon members charts I found quite a few had Uranus in the 11th house.
All society misfits who have fun hanging out together and sharing their ideas on reform.

The coffee fests make sense, I know at least two ladies off the top of my head with Venus in that house and they are definitely cookie women...What would a Jupiter do in that house if it already had a Uranus sitting in there?

Speaking of high tea, I'm seeing some good friends this weekend and I bought a book for the oldest son, but since he's in the autism spectre, I'm doubting my choice now. It's a fiction book, thriller, quite dramatic about missing persons, running away from home, stuff. I thought, you know, the kid's in puberty, they go through so much emotions, I liked reading about confusion when I was his age. After that, you know it's okay, and that other children are feeling the same things at your age. Of course, with the AS, I don't want him taking any ideas to literally...Hm, best let his mom decide whether he can have it or not. And it looked like such a good idea when I ordered it :p

Lovely painting.
In the areas of life, I would include the word "local", between personal and national. Because as inner work is bringing results the next level is your local neighborhood, and that's where the 11th house comes into play.
And if Jupiter is there, and Jupiter is a bit high horsey, it means one might sometimes tend to neglect that area in favor of greater expanses like planets and cosmic, even. But it also means a real interest in such matters, and even position in the political arena. (Not always a bad thing, if one can get one's ideas noticed.)

And about the book you bought...I'm sure he will take from it whatever he can, and project at it his innermost self, enjoying the read.
I wouldn't worry there.

The question of life, the universe and everything calls for a straightforward answer: are you up for it, yes or no? Acceptance is a resounding yes. If you can’t say yes, what are you doing here? Sure, you are on a planet of choice... but you simply aren’t going anywhere until you choose to say yes. If you say no, that means you want no part in this, and that is what you get.

Ok, YES it is!
Even if one escapes from one level of universe work, there is always another level where self expression is possible.
Most people need to feel comfortable and secure to get started. Put on their safety helmets...

After that it doesn't matter if one's chosen cause is a platform where one can show one's love for animals (always watching out for extremes there, too, since the crazy cat lady scenario is where that needle could quickly move into the red....)
Or one wants to come up with solutions to the food production issues... Or place homeless former mental patients into their safety zone...so many causes to chose from.
Endless menu. System change is what's needed most, in my view.

There are multiple ways to crack instinctual thinking into self awareness, but one key point is that the door into the other land of self awareness must be open. In most cases that involves some form of the avatar's instinctual drives going crazy, they have no answer, so they spin, they fly out of control. A lack of control that is required to take place, at least for some given time period. As a minimal point of beginnings. That love is fine, love is great, love is fundamental, but not as a fear driven/filtered instinctual component.

[ulli]

This is where imagining consequences comes in handy. Things flow, through developmental stages, and this is why logic matters.

If something appears illogical, there might have been unseen interference to block one's intent.

Still, the interference might come from a higher level still whose agenda is either destructive and evil in design,
or it is seeing such a vast picture that it is done from a point of view of the highest wisdom,
and not the instinctual fear based love Carmody mentioned.
Just that they might see further, having a birds eye view.
So one group might build underground shelters, or get involved in prepping, while the other one,
which is tuned into these higher energies, knows that even an approaching asteroid can be redirected by the subtests of mental forces,
which keep us all out of harm's way.


Times change, and not everyone knows how the winds were blowing. So they are stranded at employment agencies....

ABSOLUTELY

Love as love with no fear components

Love as love as part of a will to love

Love as love, pure and so simple

And a self awareness crack in the instinctual, going crazy for it

Logic is another word for grounding. You can build a house from the roof down, but only if the roof is on stilts, i.e. grounded. There are no missing steps on the way up, just blanks to fill in. ‘Illumination’ (as opposed to enlightenment) comes when you try to hang the roof from the sky and try to build in reverse order. Because there is an order and a reverse (possibly satanic) order: the one works, the other collapses. I found another word for illuminated: decerebrated. No brain, no logic, no nothing.

Ah, the familiar conceit of the painting as an open window, a source of light and contact with the elements! Those slats on the shutters that let in just a little light and just a little air are known as louvre boards. Now where have we seen them before? Manet, who had issues with his contemporary scene at a time when the mainstream entered the Louvre and others like him did not, painted his shutters green. The beginnings of that breath of fresh air, open-air painting.

@Violet @araucaria
I mixed up your last two posts, by not scrolling far enough.
I was just going to reply to Violet's question about the diagonal lines of the lavender curtain. I noticed all of that and more, and even thought about the direction of the breeze which sometimes comes from the other side and would have blown the curtains outward. And the green painted walls inside, which reminded me of the old houses in Barbados in the seventies.
I even had a massive clearing dream as I woke up this morning, a little while ago, about the farmhouse I grew up in, in northwest Germany, and in that dream my Costa Rican husband and I had moved it, all by ourselves, on a trailer base and driving a huge truck, across the Atlantic ocean all the way to Costa Rica.
So yes, something must have been triggered by staring at that painting yesterday. The word Lovely alone didn't give the experience the merit it deserved.


Oh, the old louvre shutters...here in Barbados it is hot all year around, so every little breeze needs to be caught in order to stay cool. And every house has them, although the modern ones have glass or metal louvres, the wooden ones are used less. Critters eat the wood, I guess.

Louvre boards. Interesting, word of the day for me. Barely no louvre boards in Belgium now that I come to think of it, maybe in the very south. Germany and Austria have them.

Is that picnick in the park on the background? Another rejected artwork. Manet had a sense of humour.

No, all my three photos above are from Barbados, where I am at the moment. I am living in both countries.
Costa Rica, in the mountains, is only really hot in the middle of the day, for a few hours, and even then never more than 28'C. So you see less louvres. They use wooden louvres as closet doors here, because the humidity is high, and without air circulation all the clothes soon smell mouldy.

Is this for me? No, there is a young boy to the left, behind Berthe Morisot. But talking of Le déjeuner sur l’herbe and backgrounds, here’s something that might interest you, Violet.

You may know about Jay Weidner’s analysis of Stanley Kubrick’s technique in 2001 for the plains of Africa: a huge screen as backdrop showing a slide from a projector under the foreground where the scene is being shot. And how this then novel technique is evident in pictures from the Apollo Moon landings, indicating that they were shot by Kubrick. Well, it seems that Manet used this technique first. He has two men posing in the foreground with a nude model who has just posed for the picture behind them.

Yet another example of different levels of reality interfering. Do we live in a hologram? Maybe we live in a reality that is holographic in parts. Are we ourselves a part of the hologram? Not necessarily.

From a post from Jean-Luc on the Charlie Hebdo thread, we learn that Charlie (in the French pronunciation) is an anagram of Israel in Hebrew (true: sin/shin is the same letter). I personally see little value in this statement, unless you want to see the original instigator, Sarlie Brown, as a Mossad agent. The people quoted by Jean-Luc are using it to indicate the signature of Israeli involvement in the attacks. Another (Jewish) website I visited sees it on the contrary as evidence of both France and Israel coming under attack from the same source.

The least that can be said is that it is very superficial. With stuff like this, you don’t see the need to have a top symbologist as the hero of a Dan Brown novel: more like a Charlie Brown novel :) It just goes to show how impoverished the ‘cabal’ really is compared with all the rich subtlety of the cabbala.

In the cabbala, anagrams are a part of gematria, or sacred Jewish numerology, which seeks to generate valuable insights by comparing or combining the spiritual energy of different letters and words. To say Charlie and Israel are anagrams means they are somehow connected through sharing the same numerical value. Also some numerical values can be directly linked to numbers in the real world. Israel in Hebrew is spelt yod, shin, resh, aleph, lamed – 10+300+200+1+30=541. Let me back up a little in order to explain how this works and what if anything can be made of this number 541.

Mystères de la Kabbale by Marc-Alain Ouaknin offers three examples of this simplest form of gematria. The word adam (ADM) has a numerical value of 45, the same as mah, meaning what? – from which we gain a basic insight that can be explored further, namely that man is a question mark, an open window or vasistas if you will.

Secondly, av, the word for man (3) combines with em, woman (41) to produce yeled, child (44). The insight here (apart from this lexical reproduction of human reproduction) is that 44 being twice 22, a child is the sum of two 22-letter alphabets: his father’s and his mother’s, and that the fertility of both parents each having the full alphabet to make a child is first and foremost a dialogue, and hence that humanity anchors its possibilities for existence in the linguistic potential actuated in speech.

I think we might also see the 44 child as being just one short of a 45 adam, or nearly a question mark, whatever that may mean… Interestingly, one of the victims, the psychiatrist/psychoanalyst Elsa Cayat, was the author of an essay entitled “Un homme + une femme = quoi ?”.

The third example, which is given first, is the word herayon, meaning pregnancy. It has a numerical value of 271, which happens to correspond to the average pregnancy of 9 times 30.1111 days. The message here is given in terms of the practice of pious men of old who had sex with their wives only after the fourth day of the week, so as to avoid possibly profaning the Sabbath 271, 272 or 273 days down the road.

This is only an example from a book, but it is interesting because if Charlie has a value of 541 and since Hebdo means weekly, and the paper comes out on Wednesday, the fourth day of the week, then we can perhaps see 541 as not quite the sum of two pregnancies (541=271+270).

My tentative interpretation would go like this. A conceiving event happened that day that can be viewed in two ways. One way would be to view the attack as sowing the seed of a jihad in western Europe; the other would be to view the event as the day a paper with a tiny circulation gained the potential to reach a hugely vaster audience. This is why the content of the magazine and the ideological stance of its journalists are coming in for great scrutiny and massive distortion: at issue is which of two pregnancies are to follow and which of two possible outcomes (babies).

If we take this a little further, you might want to factor in the events of Sunday as prefiguring a birth. According to the ‘pious man’ 271-day reading, the hugely vaster audience has materialized; no profanation of the Jewish Sabbath has taken place, and the Christian Sabbath in a secular country is no Sabbath anyway; in addition giving birth here is considered no profanation.

Alternatively, some may prefer the impious 270-day reading whereby this birth occurs the day before, on the Jewish Sabbath, which would thereby be profaned.

The Charlie/Israel 541 version would be a combination of both of the above. Take your pick.

You see, this was just a piece of creative writing on my part. Make of it what you will :) While I exercise my free speech, I acknowledge your freedom to misinterpret me, although since I have no point to make about anyone or anything, beyond maybe tickling a few neurons, I would say that you would be wasting your time.

It’s just a bit of fluff. By Jove I needed that. Things have been getting pretty oppressive of late.

I must say, there is nothing more refreshing for me than to dive into the Baha'i Reference Library.
This is where I get my guidance.
Positive thinking, focus on the highest rather than the lowest, and good deeds rather than endless disputes.
It's all so simple.
Our consciousness determines our future existence.

From Baha'u'llah's writings:

O servants! This nether world is the abode of demons: Guard yourselves from approaching them.
By demons is meant those wayward souls who, with the burden of their evil deeds, slumber in the chambers of oblivion.
Their sleep is preferable to their wakefulness, and their death is better than their life.

O servants! Not every mortal frame hath a spirit or is imbued with life.
In this day he is endowed with spirit who with all his heart seeketh the abode of the Beloved.
The end of all beginnings is to be found in this Day: Turn ye not a blind eye unto it.
The matchless Friend is nigh: Stray not far from Him.

O servants! Ye are even as saplings in a garden, which are near to perishing for want of water.
Wherefore, revive your souls with the heavenly water that is raining down from the clouds of divine bounty.
Words must be followed by deeds. Whoso accepteth the words of the Friend is in truth a man of deeds;
otherwise a dead carcass is verily of greater worth.

I see it now.

I read the first article, cross-read the next two (probably for the weekend). The two lighting directions are interesting. Are these deviations a deliberate thought on the part of Manet?

Other than that my morning coffee does not taste as good today. I wish I could think up some enjoyable things as I'm drinking and looking at my garden (and waiting for March so I can get started) but things are not looking good over here, at all.

And one part of me was resonating with something said in the Charlie thread yesterday, that it's all easy to say something isn't true and it's probable a big joke or whatever. Such claims come easier as the distance grows bigger. There's a difference, for me, between being hopeful and being in denial. I can't deny that problems in society have led some youth, now totally given up on any peacefully coexisting prospects, to radicalise. And that the police are looking into that for matters of safety. It's the edges that we can't see. Ultimately, what is it supposed to lead to? And ultimately, are these young rebels truly fighting the war they think they're fighting? I don't have to know the truth about those edges to get an idea of a truth that stands in front of me. So, yesterday, when they shot those two, it's kind of hard to say that: there were no real weapons, there were no real terrorists, the guy who posted a picture on Twitter of the raid is a fraud and he's in it too, nobody really died,...You just can't do that all the time.

Police men are going to recognise this behaviour because when they bring bad news to victims this is what people do: no, it must be someone else. Same with the doctor: no, maybe we should take another scan.

But the truth is that sometimes bad things are true. And right now, bad things are true. And I still hope, yes, absolutely. I hope that it won't last and that the change that comes from it is for the better, for all.

Oh, there's the weekend already:

Such fabulous contributions there from you, Violet and araucaria, and even though I had put off opening and reading araucaria's links, especially the Rense one by Jay Weidner, for another day, I might have forgotten. Thanks for bringing my attention back there. I'm either underwhelmed or overwhelmed by life. Flat and boring, or spikes and intense. Pluto in the first house does that. Pluto the great transformer. The vortex that squeezes everything before it is reborn as a new whatever.

I saw another post last night, about the possibility of two more planets in our solar system.
And in that article they called them as being beyond Neptune. What a way to be reminded that Pluto is not considered a planet any longer. I became so angry at these manipulative meme makers that they must have felt my plutonic rage behind their ears. Pluto is alpha and omega, beginnings and endings, life and death, i.e. transformation. Growth. Organic. Live giving sexuality. Angels and demons. Ruler of Scorpio and the 8th house. Doorway to the infinite cosmos.

And the greatest Scorpio to ever express these principles was Stanley Kubrick. And that Jay Weidner is so close to my line of thinking that if we were ever to have dinner we would just stare at one another, wordless, as there is nothing new from either one of us to add.

So how can those bastards take away Pluto's status as a valid planetary member of our solar system? They know exactly why. They want to remove the element of growth and transformation from our consciousness.
More proof that they want us to become nothing more than pieces of space junk, once they have discarded us. So the only way to fight back is to show them that we are in fact full of life, and wiling to live on the edge, but always returning to the golden middle path, where we can get the inspiration which shows us what has to be done next, the same kind that communicated with Kubrick and the earlier great masters before him.

Yes Violet. It was very dark last night: a couple of streets with no lighting. A street light is useful when you get up in the night and walk past the top of the stairs…

Yesterday I was taken to a site (VT?) that was talking about the 4 million sheeple who marched and who didn’t deserve to survive, or words to that effect. What does that say about the rest, who didn’t stir from their couch to rise to sheeple status? An alternative media person who has given up on the human race to this extent has already been swallowed up by his perceived enemy and has totally discredited him or herself, in my opinion.

The conspiracy skeptics are right inasmuch as their stuff often does involve cherry-picking and circular thinking – in this case literally, as this person has got back to exactly what they were trying to get away from. The 5-million issue of Charlie has an article dismissing them, with a special mention for Thierry Meyssan. It is perfectly reasonable for them to consider that the people they targeted with ink retaliated with bullets. They were at least correct in saying they were defending free speech and that their attackers, whoever they are, are hostile to free speech. Try telling a WW2 veteran he wasn’t fighting Nazism: he was, even though a lot more was going on than he could ever imagine, and maybe he wasn’t very handy with a gun. It is not all heroics. There was for example a Resistance fighter doing good work but who got nabbed for calling his pigs Benito and Adolf – pretty dumb, but these stupid things happen all the time. We are most of us trying our best and it is not good enough to tell people they are hopeless.

As Ulli says, ‘Not every mortal frame hath a spirit or is imbued with life.’ But for me it is not an either/or. You have to look for the spark and try and revive it if it is dying or nurture it if is coming into being. How many cardboard cutouts have you met? The cardboard cutouts are the ones you never get close to. If the politicians seem too real, you have to have the unreal entities lurking in the background – but their unreality is their undoing. In normal life, people are for real. The virtual cyber world makes it easier to lose touch with real people; a good old demo puts them back in touch.

[ulli]

With the amount of information coming our way something or someone has to be dismissed and that is where the tire hits the road.
Only at the level of the individual seeker edging closer to either the bullseye point or drowns in the BS do we see heavenly selection processes going on. Sure, I want to save my own soul, but it can't work unless I figure out how to bring the whole rest of the world with me. Once everyone realizes that this is their best option of a path, for each one to become perfect saviors, will this planet have reached another stage in it's development. No longer a prison planet, no longer even a school, but fully transformed into Heaven itself.

Yet Pluto operates with precision. When Pluto was 90 degrees and two minutes from my natal sun and the sun was 180 degrees and 10minutes from from my natal Pluto on that day my only child was born.
The mathematics were astounding. No one can ever convince me that the distance of Pluto from earth diminishes the effect.

Anyway, needless to say, when I check anyone's chart I check their Mars-Pluto angles (as well as their Mars-Uranus angles) as those are the most evident tell-tale aspects.

And when my father died Pluto was 89 degrees from my natal sun, and Saturn (rules Capricorns and father figures) was exactly 90 degrees from my natal Uranus, planet of unexpected changes.

Like Uranus, Pluto also rules the changes of life, destiny, the ones we just have no control over. Uranus is the waker-upper, with sudden shocks to bring us to our senses after we have been in delusion or asleep, steeped in unhealthy habits...hence a slightly different energy.
Pluto is about a deeper level of being...that of the absolute powers. He might bring life or death, and in both cases the pressure is so great that it becomes a make or break experience, one might be transformed into wine or vinegar, depending on other, more hidden, conditions.
Hence the image of tunnel, or birth canal. A true squeeze.

Going by the precision, Ulli, the Vedic system ignores it. Is it a historical adherence to an established system or is there another reason for it?

I tried hard to grasp the Vedic system, and couldn't get the matches with reality.
And then I clicked. the Vedic system goes by constellations, and they have shifted over the eons of time. Meanwhile
The Western system starts with the Spring Equinox on March 20th or 21st, which they call 0 degrees Aries.

Even though it doesn't match the _constellation_ of Aries.
But those constellations are not actual places anyway, but just were given the names as recognisable groups of fixed stars which were matching the equinoxes and solstices when astrology was first discovered, or invented, or established...whatever one wants to call it. Anyway, a long time ago.

The true flowing energies of each sign are a division of the whole cosmos, IOW, energies which come from the furthest rims of existence, and not just some nearby constellations the roadsigns off which have become rusty and obsolete.

This is so hard to explain, and I hope you or anyone else can make sense of it

Yeah, it has to do with how to be a functional point of individualism....in a pure energy environment.

First one needs to train the 'mind' or self, to be of a comfortable norm, a stable being. Then the levels of integration can increase, or sharing can increase.

In a pure energy environment, self, reality and other are inextricably --- same.

Some go in the other direction, the deceptive predator, the eater/taker/user of others energy. Thus the thousand eyed beast beneath the mountain, etc.

A pure energy environment of growth and sharing..will brook no insanity, as it is purely non functional, in all ways possible.

They have their "physical" anagrams, which play out here.

The lessons have to be real, otherwise there is no point.

Underneath it all, it really is that simple.

The lower realms (as we may call them from our vantage point) are, for the most part.. a darkened free-for-all, without a co-created and co-held space. A veritable garbage dump of misfits. Some want to be there, some do not. Some call it home....

Ulli, a couple of astrology questions for you. First, since Pluto was only discovered in 1930, how and when were its astrological properties worked out, and by whom? And what about Neptune, another modern discovery?

Second, given what you tell us about how your father’s death and son’s birth are so perfectly timed in your chart, would there be anything in your father’s chart pointing to your own birth? And more generally, might this not be used as circumstantial evidence of paternity? Today of course we have DNA testing, but I am thinking of an earlier case.

I am thinking of the boy in the back of The Balcony. He was Léon Leenhoff, possibly the son of Manet’s wife Suzanne Leenhoff (she passed him off as her little brother). The jury is still out on whether the father was Manet, or… Manet’s father. Suzanne was the Manet boys’ piano teacher, so both are ‘logistically’ possible so to speak. Manet senior died of syphilis, and Manet, who was a ladies’ man himself, married Suzanne after his father’s death when Léon was 11; while his wife was very plain and plump, some of his lovers were the model for Olympia and Le Déjeuner (where the men are a brother and a brother-in-law, painter and sculptor) etc., and his pupil Eva Gonzalès. And Berthe Morisot was extremely fond of him before she married his brother. Manet usually painted his family and friends, including Suzanne and Léon, basically because being non-mainstream he was pretty hard-up (and helping out the likes of Monet who were totally broke).

So that’s a minor art history conundrum for you. Édouard Manet was born in Paris on 23 January 1832 (I see someone has already done a birth chart, adding a biography but without connecting the two). Léon was born in Paris in 1852, possibly on 29 January. Suzanne was born on 30 October 1829 in Delft.

Sorry, I don't know the answers to your questions. Just like when people ask me about the origins of astrology...in nearly 35 years I have never come across a clear answer.

I do believe that in a different time line where powerful forces assist rather than hinder the use of astrology it would be quite easy to use astrology as a tool for determining paternity.
It would take me two hours just to go around pointing out the similarities between my son's chart and my own, and they would make the jaws drop of anyone who has the patience to look at the numbers.

Both my son and I have a conjunction of Mars and Mercury, both have it in the sixth house, and both planets are 150 degrees from Saturn...and that's just for starters. Then we both have Venus in the fifth house, same Ascendant, moon in the 10th house. In fact, our chart wheels look so similar that I sometimes used to get them mixed up when I still used paper to draw them on, before computers.
The planets which are different match his fathers chart....Both have the same moon position. My son has a sun-Mars conjunction, his father has Mars in the first house, which is a similar energy, and both have Mars on the same degree of Aquarius, just one degree apart. I could send you the data in a private message, if you know how to go to a site like astro.com where they give you a free chart wheel.

Neither one of them ever shared my interest in astrology, if anything, they attacked me if I brought up the subject.
That's what a strong Mars placing will do, go on the offensive with no hesitation.
And since it is in Aquarius, there is the added provocative element. And with my Taurus moon, I just clam up.

So, yes, give me parents and their childrens' charts and I can see the connections right away, just the way geneticists can see the genetic connections with their expertise. All roads which are traveled with passion and heart will lead to the same truth. This is not in the interest of the deceivers which rule this earth.
However, they will always be outsmarted by anyone who is determined enough to do so.

Maybe I would have found the answers to your first two questions if my curiosity was similar to yours, which I consider scholarly. But I am no scholar, although I like to think and connect dots, but most of all I like to help and heal people.
My chart told me so after I already knew that.
I have 4 planets in the sixth house...which will turn someone either into a hypochondriac or a doctor/healer/shrink/vet.

I did read some anecdotes once, about a group of astrologers discussing the connections between Pluto and what meanings to attribute. They pointed to the fact of the atomic age having begun, (hidden power) and also the rise of organized crime, (Pluto in mythology guards the entrance to the underworld) time of the Great Depression after the roaring twenties (Pluto is about " all or nothing")

[araucaria]

. But I am no scholar, although I like to think and connect dots, but most of all I like to help and heal people.

Fine, you personally don’t have an answer to my first question, no problem. But can one divorce your healing work from the scholarly work? Pluto was discovered by scholars and if it is downgraded by scholars, you will have your window of healing closed as well as opened by them. The healing agenda would get a bit more traction if it could get more scholars on board. One way might be by showing how people unconscious of Pluto’s influence, i.e. everyone pre-1930, were nonetheless governed by it. The fact that my example was purely academic, with zero practical value, takes nothing away from its potential for getting people totally uninterested in astrology to rethink their unquestioningly dismissive view of the subject. If you can’t attract serious public interest with the help of scholarship, then the idea that Pluto is being downgraded as a planet because of its astrological importance will simply appear ridiculous to people who deny that Jupiter has any such influence. The thing about Pluto is that it cannot be put down to ancient – synonymous with primitive – wisdom: it has to be a 20th century concept, and if it can be shown to work, that could be a game-changer. And healers and healed might then increase and multiply.

Your personal story is so striking, Ulli, that one would want someone to collate a whole string of empirical data, make some predictions based on that theory, and test the data that way. Or maybe it has been done already and people are not ready for it, I don’t know. Just a thought.

Wasn't Mars sharing between Aries and Scorpio, before Pluto was discovered.
Neptune would have been Pisces, forget its earlier pairing - Venus?
And Aquarius' Uranus was what? - Mercury?

That's correct, rebel.
Pluto is one octave higher than Mars, Neptune up one from Venus, and Uranus the next one up from Mercury.

Both Pluto and Mars are expressive of action, and even predatorial, Mars represents instinct, and Pluto represents psychic flashes.
Mars is the sword wielding soldier and Pluto might use the more precise syringe or laser.

Meanwhile Venus and Neptune are more passive, and receptive, Venus is perceptive, but also narcissistic, and Neptune is inspiration, but also deception, confusion.

And Mercury and Uranus are mind planets, creating language bridges, with Mercury communicating, and Uranus' unexpected, sudden energy representing the lightbulb of intuition, and sudden ideas.

Every planet has a spectrum of positive, constructive application to negative/ destructive, and all the shades of grey in between.

As I just explained to rebel, Pluto is the planet of psychic flashes, and also psychic healing powers.
Pluto represents hidden power, thus exercised his energy without people's conscious awareness of it before 1930.
Like the power brewing in dormant volcanoes. No scholar can match this power.

The most psychic famous healer walked the earth 2000 years ago, long before Pluto was discovered.
And like Pluto, acted as a transformer to ancient society.

And then there have been many Pluto-ruled Scorpios in history.
Martin Luther, (not MLK) was a Scorpio, reformed the Catholic church,
and then also Baha'ullah (!817-1892), who caused the upheaval we are witnessing in Islam and the whole Middle East.

You know what?!

I'm living with holy people!

Their main motives are to simply help people in any way, shape or form that comes to be in their day to day doings and plannings and visitations here, there and to other places and much more....friends, relatives or anyone that has been put in front of them that has a need they can help fulfill.

When you come into their lives and feel that they are your higher family without any hesitation or second thoughts it is another monumental spiritual energizer...
like I needed one at this point in my life or at this living spiritual vortex in Cummaquid : )

I guess it was exactly what I needed because it has become the most intense day to day, hour to hour, moment to moment realization of actualization that all will work it's way to and through spirit without any need for concern of personal sustenance and continuum.

It is a joy and honor to know them and share time and space and love with them.

Gratitude Abounds!

Aho, Here and Now Villagers : )
Have a Shining Day !

And be conscious of it too: your being without being what you're not. I don't know if that makes sense. It's not the be-yourself-and-the-hell-with-the-rest, live-your-dream-kind of stuff. Not quite, because I respect the social aspect which always ends up limiting people to some extent.

Anyway, I heard myself say that, and thinking: why are you telling people that? The answer: I don't know. It just came to me and I thought it was a rich message that might benefit those I gave it too. And after hearing myself say that for like the ten times or so, I felt as if I was talking to myself. Indirectly directing an important lesson to myself.

So, here, now, being. In this light your music is very befitting, Ulli.

The rain cloud is moving away, together with the afternoon sun which is is likely to be covered for the rest of the day.
The east has a deep blue sky however.
The young Christmas crowd and their kids have gone back to their snowy countries, mostly Canada and Britain.

The longer I'm on Avalon and looking for someone to come up with real practical solutions to the world's problems the more I realise that the Baha'is are lightyears ahead of everyone and that maybe I should not have dropped out when I did. (2001) Since it is an Iranian-born religion with the headquarters in Israel it just became too controversial as well as that I feared it had been hijacked by the PTB.

But just now as I randomly opened the link to a Baha'i newsletter from 2009 the front page article is about the media sexualising young girls...the same topic as is being addressed in another thread.

I realize also that a lot of the issues addressed are mainstream view-points as they are not inclined to dig around current conspiracy theories.

Larry Niven Wiki

Stepping disk

An advanced teleportation system designed and used by Puppeteers, comprised of flat, open disks.

When one steps onto a transmitter disk, one is immediately transported at or near light speed to the next receiver disk. Molecular filters can be applied to the surface of the disk to transmit only certain substances. Most stepping disks are powered by an onboard nuclear fusion power generator.

Manual reprogramming of disks is possible from a panel on the edge of the disk, usually in the form of switches that correspond to the local network of disks deployed in any given area.

Stepping disks are deployed planet-wide over most of the worlds of Puppeteers, and were used extensively on the Ringworld by Baedeker and the protector Tunesmith.

Many safeguards are built into the functionality of stepping disks. If the transport surface of the disk is compromised or the space above the disk is too small to be safely used, the disk does not function.

Stepping disk technology is the basis for the Human equivalent Transfer booth.

(for example, to have a house, that spans 11 rooms....on 7 or 8 different planets.)

Waiting for the plumber.

Coffee went cold as I was quickly tidying the typical morning mess. You know, socks, mugs, combs, everything, everywhere. Kids, men (why those two always go together), gotta love 'em.

I am thinking about the human as a cell, which of course we are, a collection of*. But just for now as 1 cell, and all the humans in one society, community, as a collection of cells, an organism. If it were. And how that organism would look. What creature would my city turn out to be? This helps me to understand the genius of a cell in the human body and the importance of cooperation and unity. And when the creature is sick, it can affect other creatures/cities/parts of existence. So too with the sick human, either in having a contageous affliction or just being unpleasant for others (which they can't always control, so this is not a reproach, people suffer terrible pains).

And if the human is a cell (but biologically an organism with more than one cell), and the environment is a collection of cells (=the humans and other living creatures), and this organism in turn forms a collection of cells (=all environments collected) within another cell in existence...That means that we and everything...is one large organism, one? Does that mean that micro-us, humans, by our intracellular cohesion (or lack of it) can have an effect on...say faraway Pluto, or faraway anything? I'm not done with this thought yet, it's pretty vast as you can see, so I'll think about it some more.


*= I think I read somewhere that cells have individual coding for carrying out tasks. I hope if Bob passes by he can correct me and/or elaborate. And I wonder how individual aligns with independency here and if a cell in our body can be stubborn and decide to do something totally different from what it is expected to do. If that's true (and it is for the human being), are cells in our body capable of intelligent (deviant) choice?

Cells communicating:

At this point, you may have noticed that neurotransmitters play an important role in the workings of a neuron. The basic message that is transmitted is called the action potential. It is an electrochemical impulse that travels down the axon (from the soma toward the terminal buttons) at about a speed of 100m/sec.

After the neurotransmitters are released, they diffuse across the synaptic cleft and interact with receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. The neurotransmitters attach to binding sites on the postsynaptic receptors and initiate the opening of neurotransmitter-dependent ion channels. This allows the passage of ions into or out of the cell.

Rad looks a bit undernourished. Sometimes I wish he were still around; I would give him a good meal.
Not too sure though if want to give my energy to the philosophy of John Lash.

Externalised mythologies may have been ok for earlier generations, but I prefer the 'personal responsibility' type of teachings.
Where the archons are nothing but my own lower nature, and for me to battle with by rising above their tempting whispers.

Man is similar to plants and animals, physically, and anything that gave us that physical body
also gave us the various automatic routine habits that come with that. Well done, Sophia. But it just can't end there.

Our spiritual nature begins to unfold when we aim to rise above the planetary dimension after death.
When we are willing to give up all feel-good hedonism and replace it with the "wine of astonishment".
Grateful to the Mother for giving me a body, but look what happens to it in just a few decades, before it returns to the dust of the earth.
It's the one who made Mother Earth/Sophia in the first place I consider my God, AKA Source, AKA Prime Creator. Neither a He nor a She, but way beyond gender distinctions.

The idea that action potentials in neurons are acoustic pressure pulses has gained a lot of experimental support.

Sonic booms in nerves and lipid membranes (http://phys.org/news/2015-01-sonic-booms-nerves-lipid-membranes.html)

Neurons might not be able to send signals as fast as electrons in wires or photons in fiber, but what if they can communicate using miniature sonic booms? That would be quite a revolutionary discovery. A group of mechanical engineers at Boston University have recently found that two-dimensional shock waves reminiscent of propagating spikes in nerves can be induced in monolayer lipid membranes. Their fascinating results, which have been sitting on the Arxiv server since November, have just been approved for publication in an upcoming issue of Physical Review E.

K2_EkiWp1FM

Proximity-induced superconductivity effect in a double-stranded DNA (http://arxiv.org/abs/1312.0829)

and another 100+ studies just like it.

superconductivity is, by it's very nature, quantum, and 2 dimensional.

DNA has the correct lengths and shape (polarized, a corkscrew, paired..an unlimited data pathway) to be of such a quantum nature. Superconductivity, by it's nature is also 'out of time'.

In a perfect superconductive transfer state/condition, time does not exist, for one essential parameter is locked down, and the equation fails ---a critical differential is non-existent. Thus, it is distance and time exempt, in this space.

Since it is a AC (cyclic change as a differential) in this space, ie, vibration is key to particle existence, as well as polarization..... the fluttering aspect of a sonic 'pressure' in DNA and nerves, enables intemporal, or out of time and out of distance, transfer and communication, with unlimited data and unlimited energetic components.

My point is about the change in scale from the geometrically functional 432hz, to the non-functional, and thus 'disconnected from the ability to connect to and work with source' scale --- at 440hz.

One sees that clearly in the image that Ulli provided.

Reality is inescapably vibration and geometry, when viewed from our vantage point of 3d-time-space.

Stepping out of my cave to say kudos to Hradagast/Modwiz’s efforts to inform. I’ll be on the look out for the next one.

EagleSpirit, in case I lose track of time, you’ve got Danny’s anniversary on the 25th. I’ve marked my calendar to send extra squishy hugs your way.

Oh, and squishy hugs to Roy and everyone...guests included. :wave:

This is day 8 of my Master Cleanse Fast (http://themastercleanse.org). It was like how I quit coffee over a year ago. In the evening, I heard it was time and the next morning I did the salt water flush and at the market, I grabbed up all the organic lemons. Before this, the longest fast ever was three days back in the mid-1980's.

As for symptoms, I noticed a sore throat and labelled it a detox symptom. And then I reminded myself that it wasn’t needed. Ten minutes later, I noticed it was gone. And shhhhh...I cheated on day 2 & 3 and ate a boiled egg.

I’m experiencing vivid dreams. Some of the folks appear the next day out of the blue, i.e. a recall from the dreams. Yesterday, on my walk a pigeon touched down on my head for a second while another's wing brushed up against the right side of my hair. What a rush!

And my friend, Grizzly Bear, keeps popping up. Paraphrase: Steven D. Farmer. “Animal Spirit Guides.”

Take some time out from your usual routines and spend some time in solitude.
To find answers to your questions, go inside rather than reading or consulting others.
Trust your instincts.
Don’t wait, take action now.
Winter is a period to honor your need for quiet, solitude, and alone time.

Paroles is a creative song, it's a combination of drama and music, but not quite a musical, and still musical. Possibly Fergie tried to do a modern version of it in Shut up. There's two people talking, but no one is really listening. You've got a fragile voice in this song, Natlee, fits the theme. There's a big contrast with the videos in the French thread.

You can choose to present yourself as either one of these, for instance picture 1, and be perceived as such. (Seemingly) missing a bit of gloss. At the same time you are still the other reflections too, 2nd and 3rd picture. You can present yourself to the outside world with a touch of gold, picture 2, knowing very well what you are worth and be perceived as such. (Seemingly) missing a bit of modesty. At the same time you are the other two potentials too, 1st and 3rd picture. (I tried to resize them, but :( )

Humbleness and sincere sharing can go together, but it may not always be perceived as such.

I went to college with a now famous actress. Students were swarming around her, as she was already a bit famous for her acting then, and she looked like a very casual girl just wanting to get on with things. She came to all classes for as far as I could see. I wasn't a real friend-friend of hers in the sense that we ocassionally talked, she may know me still, but that was that. After we graduated she continued in the film industry and won a few things here and there, and when I see her on TV it's a totally different person, probably because she's acting...Now what people do is that they go by the persona that she built up in her acting carreer, which is pretty vampy. They'll say that she's hot, she's a bitch, she's all sorts of things, which I doubt she really is.

Sometimes I wonder how she deals with that.

I used to have a coffee problem, drinking by large thermoses. After a relatively serious health issue, I had to stop. Today I still enjoy very much the careful small doses I allow myself to drink. Thought I'd throw that in, Paula. And you're not gonna believe this but as I'm writing this my attention is diverted by the pidgeon walking by the window. "Say hi to Paula", there, he's on his way already.

Lots of courage for your fast.

I am happy to report that your Canadian Government is actively keeping you safe from criminal types like me.
Soon they'll have me collecting welfare stamps.
Then nobody will have to be subjected to my horrible, unsafe electrical work.

This is the letter I received on my advertising:

This posting is not in compliance with all applicable laws, (Public Display and/or No License) thus a violation Electrical Safety Act of Ontario and potentially undermines public safety! The Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) is responsible for licensing electrical contractors and Master Electricians in the province of Ontario and for ensuring that only licensed electrical contracting businesses are permitted to offer or provide electrical wiring services directly to the public. The Electrical Safety Act of Ontario regulation 570/05;s.19, states as of January 1, 2007 no person shall operate an Electrical Contracting Business in Ontario without first obtaining an Electrical Contractor License issued by ECRA/ESA. This regulation also requires that an electrical contractor shall prominently display the License number in all correspondence, contracts and advertisements, yellow pages, website, on business vehicles and, generally, in all situations where communicating with the public.

This is what I replied:
You have killed me long ago. Bring it on. I now own no car, have no savings, earn pennies a day, and still that's not enough.

You have made a criminal of me. And there is no way back. I have to feed my family.

I am an electrician. I do have over thirty years in this trade!

No one is better at it than me.

But for me legality is not even an option.

If I had to carry you, and the government on my back I'd be on welfare...

Well, Playdo, we were walking with the boys, two dogs and carrying that huge old surf board.
The normally three minute walk turned into 15 minutes.
We live two blocks inland. Holetown, St. James, Barbados. This beach is located about 1/3 mile south from there. Google it.

It's a beautiful morning now. My cousin (remember Klinefelter) is coming over. I'm always nervous right before, because I'm not used to dealing with his daily routine on a regular basis (he's also blind and diabetic). But when he is here, everything is ok and well somehow. It's like he brings the sun in. He seems so happy having just what he has, which is far less than humans in "normal" health, always with a smile on his face (though sometimes he's sad too). I don't know if it's related to the Klinefelter but his mental development lags behind approx. ten years to my estimation, he's now a young adult.

There is some secrecy about his current health condition. I don't like that, at the same time I respect that his family wants to sort things out first,...but he's also my family, so if he really got back his cancer, then I would like to know too. Maybe I should just be patient and not make things more difficult for his mother now.

Today is a good day.

Sometimes we need to take a step back and recognize that.


My oldest son (graduating from high school this year) is the biggest Rush fan in the world (... or at least close).


We just found out today Rush will be doing a concert in our city ... umm ... about a mile from where we live.


Having one of my two sons experience his greatest dream ... damn ... doesn't get much better than that despite all the crap we humans have to wade through ...

Oh ... let there be no doubt ... I will be there ... along with the rest of my family ... perhaps a friend or two.

The history of Herero clothing is extraordinary. Rhenish missionaries first introduced Victorian dress, which the tribe gradually accessorised by adding, for example, cow horn headdresses.

Namibia, is the country. Fabulous dresses and the patchwork fabric in the rest of the pictures.

Great pictures, Violet. Wondering how they were taken ....
I guess long lens, 10m distance, shot from low down.
And the dresses are awesome.

The Guaymi Indians from Panama and southern Costa Rica wear colourful loose frocks.
Yet their history is quite different ...still I have a feeling that the early colonizers had something to do with it as well.

It does look like a professional photoshoot.

Again beautiful dresses there, Ulli. Somehow a touch of India in there.
Tribal dress tends to have much colourwork in it, I find it very soothing for the eyes.

And it's interesting what a little distance can do already. If you go further up, northeast, Guatemala, you will find that the traditional corte loses some of its brightness to the focus on patterns (https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-i5xPGuojtrM/TdLgdpnQOkI/AAAAAAAAAyA/VBHihc2LljA/s720/IMG_4852.JPG). And these are the typical corte belts.

Compare with North-African Berbers:

Example 2 (http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/736x/29/03/89/29038916c3579ecd5efabffef7b2a450.jpg)

When I look at all these fabrics, I get the feeling that all these tribals (from Lapland (http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/51/d1/e0/51d1e0ef1105c4b49caeaffb169a67f5.jpg) up until Tibet (http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/b4/ff/01/b4ff010ba3743db971dadceae775e8e6.jpg)) met before.

Definitely a professional photoshoot. a long lens with big glass, ie, a big focal bubble so that everything is sharp, in focus and colorful. then, the reflector so that shadows are defeated from being overbearing. Probably about a 150-200mm lens, with about a 60-70mm objective.

In post work, the contrast was played with, in order to bring up the color and contrast of the subject.

In really well done work at a console, or digital manipulation desk, the subject would have been perfectly presented, while the back drop would have been saturation corrected. note that the ground/soil/grass is all washed out.

Either it was done that way, as it sits, as an original shot.... and then slightly played with, or the photographer has no familiarity with the type of correction software required, nor the inclination. It worked out well, except for the desaturation and whiting out of the backdrop.

My son Hugo has seen three chapters with Inès and Daniel.
Now xBox gone. All the three watching this "three thumbs" TV series. :)

SUPERNATURAL A well done introduction on Earth's History.

Calling on the village for help:

A good friend of Dennis has suffered a pretty bad heart attack, and has been airlifted to a hospital in Duluth. Dennis is headed there now.

His friend is probably in surgery now, and he could use some village healing and protection.

May all go well.

Love, Sierra

[Ol' Roy]

Good healing to Dennis's friend! You know the Maharesi Effect has has so much profound effect on so many people! This was back in the 80's and 90's. WHY?WHY? don't we we use this more often? Yes, I am dumbed down to!

It really baffles me. If it only takes a micro part of the population to do this, then why not! Okay, I won't go there!

I did take a course in Transcendtial Meditation in the mid 80's! It is all about discipline, which I have never really had!

There are so many disturbences ie. life in general! lol! That keeps you off your mission(whatever that may be)! In other words S*it happens. What do you do?

Back in the late 80's this song "Don't Worry Be Happy", kind of rings a bell! Ding!Ding!

Let's have the Marhashi Effect on Dennis's friend. And pray for Dennis in his spiritual endeavors! To be a friend!

[Ol' Roy]

BTW, Ulli I am so insanely jealous of you! Swimming in the pool, taking your grandkids along the beach for a swim! I could do that, but now I have a grandaughter! Any jobs for project managers(my oldest daughter with a baby) down there? Yes, I could go swimming in the indoor Pavillion! Here in Georgetown! BUTT! Not the same as the beach!

BTW,
You are beautiful as ever!

[Ol' Roy]

You know this is really stupid!

I go down to the gas station to get something! So I said today's the 23rd!I immediately thought of Ulli! Zodiac stuff! He said my birthday is today and I said mine is 26! I don't know why? I started up singing The 5th Dimenson's song "Age of Aquarius"! Of course I don't sing it like they used to!

Girls that worked there started hugging me! Can't explain it! A young guy comlementing me! Where is Natatie when you need her! It felt good and right in these days and times! No I am not gay! But if I were. so be it! I luv's my women! No! I don't have any! Just my beautiful friends on Avalon! Boy's and girls alike!

PS. 5 dimensions was my first concert!

I got my 8 track stolen out of the parking lot, while in concert! Duh!
