Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Snowflower]

Great post, Sierra, and love the rap.

[Journeyon]

Hello village, I come to offer flowers and knock gently upon the door. :flower: Through the years that I have been a member of avalon I have visited this place and have seen such kindness and true friendship expressed. I have never introduced myself because I almost felt as if I was intruding on a family gathering. However, as I've gotten to know Jean Marie, Sierra and Renee I have come to know the beautiful hearts that share here.

So, hello, and a huge hug to each of you! Ulli your kind spirit shines here. What a beautiful space you created, I look forward to pulling a chair around the table and getting to know you all better.

Peace,
Journeyon

I can testify, since this is the here and now thread, that not only is the village feeling it, but the series of events occurring around everyone I know or have come in contact with in the last few days, has been very intense and life shattering.

Here is what happened Monday morning here in the northwest USA. All three were killed instantly.

This young lady was best friends with my niece and was her maid of honor at her wedding. We all knew her. The extended family is in grief as I write this. Try to make sense out of this tragedy and it just cannot be done.

What a tragedy, and terrible shock for you and your family.
Destiny can work in such terrible ways, when looking at timing.
My head is still spinning from all the thoughts this event triggered for me.
First of all, the suffering this caused family and friends.
Then the speculations about those three souls, not having had the chance to die consciously.
So they will need prayers, too, to help them with the shock of the abrupt ending of their lives.
No preparation was possible.
But who knows, the neglect of maintaining infra structure of US roads and bridges needs more attention, and perhaps these three at their soul level gave their lives to bring about a massive awakening.
I must say, I feel a massive shock wave here.

FYI: Dennis’ request for mother-in-law and wife Carole. [post request here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?72502-Message-Board-Avalonians-Request-Our-Help&p=952600&viewfull=1#post952600)]

I'm back...

...to ask not so much for healing (though if you have a miracle up your sleeve, it will gladly be accepted), but rather to ask for prayers, good vibes, good thoughts, and positive energy for my mother-in-law Carole's transition. Her body is shutting down, she has asked for no more transfusions or meds. My wife jumped a plane today to be with her Mom, but I'm so glad she also went to see her a week ago, when her Mom was fully lucid and had a bit of energy. It is moving fast - no one expected the leukemia to progress so fast. My wife needs any loving, positive energy that you have to spare. Thanks.


Gentle stirrings of inner guidance and knowing
for Carol’s continued journey of love

And may her daughter be at peace
with mom’s new life unfolding

I find comfort that this young family found one another, created new life and three loving Souls continue on together. And without needless suffering.

Godspeed on your Journey…

Trying to figure out my fire alarm problems.

It started when I was meditating by a fire alarm in the house. I closed my session with a very specific and urgent message to my high self. That very night, around 3 AM, the fire alarm went off, right where I had meditated. I took it seriously. For me it was a worthy response.

A short week later, it goes off again, for no reason, I was the only one up then and preparing breakfast. So, I ran to get a ladder and tried to quiet it.

By then, I concluded, the battery's dead. Before the recent wall painting works, I took it off and put it aside in the washing room with mental memo to open it (requires screwdriver) and change the battery...some time (no screwdriver at hand then).

Doing the washing today, in the washing room, and pondering about ideal bike storage (bikes are back, yay, not so much for the bill), I bend over to get something out of the closet, and behind me, on the highest shelf of a rack goes that fire alarm off again, the one I had set aside. Now, these are professional fire alarms that came with the building, so I'm still considering it's the battery, find myself a screw driver and a multimeter. Opening reveals a dramatic battery called EVE

Test voltage, confident to find at most 0.08V and it shows 9.03V.

Not sure about anything now...maybe it's the device after all. It does look like I'm the only one setting off firealarms here, and devices with problems shouldn't be able to discriminate between passers by...

[Flash]

Gripreaper, truly sorry for your loss and the confusion for everyone involved.

I hope it will help created better conditions for other travellers. We had that happened to a family near Montréal few years back, and all the bridges and overpass have been checked and those with structural problems marked for repair, one at a time. However, in Montréal, our main bridges need major restructuring, which means new billion dollars bridges (at least 2 needed). And this is sooooo slow coming.

Our deinvestment in transport routes had started in the 80s.

Since also there has been a scandal of mafia involvment i the construction of bridges and roads which led to higher price for less quality materials and workmanship. We will see where it leads...

Mine have been doing that, too. They are not professional ones, but they have been going off for no reason at all once in awhile, lately, starting 2 or 3 months ago. Our carbon monoxide detector was doing the same thing...going off for no reason...and it does not run on a battery. Weird.

Strange that this subject has come up just as we have just bought a burglar alarm system for our new house
and the guy is coming in the morning to instal it.

Violet, you may have heard of people who can turn street lights on or off.
My son is one of those people...
I have seen it. Very strange phenomenon.

Youtube has a new feature. When the video you're playing is done, it now seems to load and autoplay another video, and then another... and if you go into a different room and come back after a while, goddess only knows what might be playing. Well, this was. So, it became a part of my here and now...and now a part of yours. My suspicion of psilocyben is an unfounded guess.

Thank you.

[Muzz]

I feel terrible that I was not there to support the village and a fellow moderator in their time of need. I am sorry. If this forum is Bill's house then this thread is it's back garden, beautifully well tended by Uli and the village. Marianne is such a loss to the forum and the mod team. Our female members and their balancing presence are so important. As I said to Sierra earlier, catching up on what had transpired was like walking out your garden to relax and finding it buldozed.

Although I dont post much (I'd probably mess the vibe up here lol) I pop in when I can to learn and enjoy the atmosphere. Thank you all for everything you have taught me about being in the "here and now" and also a growing interest in astrology and our relationship to it.

Right here and now I hope some gently uplifting music is appropriate

Don't feel bad, Murray. No big deal, from my end. My conscience is clean;
Marianne has the break she has been waiting for and Natalia will soon find
the right path which will open the doors of her life.

All is well; the garden looks lovely again with only a few bulldozer tracks still visible.
And those will soon become fresh flower beds.

The Village got extra attention
and a few cottages which had been empty for a while now
seem to be occupied by lovely new neighbors.

I think Ghostrider wrote a little piece about that in a thread (would have to dig archives to find it)...Oh, wait, now I remember, that was with the energy saving street lights discussion (though not sure the thread started like that).

Your son can turn off streetlights? Pretty amazing.

Well, luckily it's not that spectacular right here so. I don't like too much spotlight where I go (pun). I'm trying to gather enough information to put things in the right boxes: a technical issue in this reality, then I should get at the bottom of it (battery fault, device fault, something leaking that the smoke detector picks up and considers a hazard and - who knows - may actually be a hazard. If, on the other hand, it is the Highest Shelf that was calling, then I must understand that as well.

Both scenarios can be real, in their own way. The challenge is in the discerning (and also in choosing the best response).

It helps to know others are experiencing similar things. So, how do/did you react?

Welcome to the Village, Murray. Thanks for the music. We play all kinds here. You mentioned you have a garden. A few green thumbs here are 1inMany, Dennis, PurpleLama, Playdo of Ataraxas, SpiritWind, Ulli and maybe Nora? She chops wood, too. (to name a few) The resident mushroom expert is Mikelodium.

This is my pretend garden.

Ulli, I think that cottage is where I am supposed to live. It feels like home.

Paula, love that "garden bed."

YouTube autoplay turned OFF (thanks, Paula!)

I know I'm in a tenuous emotional state right now (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?72502-Message-Board-Avalonians-Request-Our-Help&p=952600&viewfull=1#post952600), but Murry, that piece (Often a bird - Wim Mertens) instantly transported me to... another dimension. I immediately entrained to the cello heartbeat, the first few notes by the harps turned my tear ducts into artesian springs... that quickly formed pools in my eyes... then the piano riff, the drums, the violins dropping into a minor key...and my heart chakra was wide open, pulsing, beaming energy... a minute and a half in, I was weeping. By the time the french horns rose, I was hovering over my body. It is an astounding powerful piece of music for such a short piece (only about 4:45.) My words are inadequate to describe its transformative power.

I never read YouTube comments (often the nastiest on the Interwebs), but something compelled me to read a few under this video. I read a comment that shows I wasn't the only one so moved by that piece:


Issa Razo (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBnhT7FDitABv9bamSrAaIQ) 7 months ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVtfe2D_iu8&lc=z13mv33bozy2s3emo230f5b5fmftdzl4s04)
Mr. Wim Mertens, I don't know if you read your video comments on youtube, but I humbly pray that this gets to you somehow. I am but a simple music appreciator with absolutely no knowledge of how to play ANY instrument. I first heard this musical piece, 'Often a Bird' in a documentary on the golden ratio and its omnipresence in nature. I was left speechless by the sublime gravity of the music.

I was extremely fascinated by the music and visualization of that clip that I searched for a few months online for its authors (I have a bad habit of not remembering the titles of the programs that I watch). Today, I finally have your name and the name of your wonderful piece.

That not-so-ordinary evening, while watching and listening to that clip, I suddenly felt a spark of wonderment that I have forgotten long, long ago. It was like being a child again. Fascinated by how a bird can fly or how water can fall from the sky... It's a very precious and joyful feeling to experience the wonderment of a child, even for a few minutes. To me, that short clip with your music was very powerful because it allowed me to have realizations that can't be produced while being an obedient member of today's society.

Having said all of that... I just want to express my deepest thanks for being the creator of the instrument to my ( maybe spiritual and ) uplifting experience of simply recalling childhood 'wonderment...' Brief as it was. Thank you... thank you.

Humbly and sincerely,

Isabela Razo, a new fan from the Philippines

I find it very funny Ulli. I did Dr Boylan test for Mini Flash, and although she scores, in my view, above the minimal requirement to be star seed, my greatest amazement is that I score way over, much more than my daughter, including number 13, i do shut off street lights at times, lolllllllllllllll, me the oldie.
From that test,I do know quite a lot of starseeds it seems (not from the forum), and I therefore wonder if his test is good, I somewhat doubt it.

According to Dolores Cannon, I’m in the first wave of volunteers if you go by age. But I experience overlap of the three waves: The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth (http://www.dolorescannon.com/blog/waves-volunteers-earth-generations-souls/).

I pass along a silent hello messages to all the babies and kids just to see how they react to someone who’s awake. Babies smile, some give a giggle and kick their feet and/or wave their arms and hands. They check out my aura. Younger kids mostly look with curiosity and smile as I pass them by.

Last summer, a little girl about 5 or 6 dashed out into the street. I was about fifty feet/15 meter away and sent a silent stop message because I saw the on-coming car. It wasn’t going fast and it was far enough away that she was in no real danger. But she needed to be aware of her surroundings. She looked over at me pointing to the car and gave me a nod. Then her mom and dad screeched from the sidewalk. While her parents yelled at her, she continue to watch me pass. I gave an affirmative nod to let her know that we were communicating.

On my walk today there was a boy about ten. He had the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen and a strangely shaped head and ears. I gave a recognition nod and a silent ‘welcome’ in case he was aware of who he really is. He was about to cross the street but stopped to let me past first. I sent a ‘silent thanks’ his way. Neither of us kept eye-contact for long. I asked myself why I didn’t. My answer was that I followed what he did. As I continued on, I sent one last ‘hello’ message without looking back.

As I’m writing this I’m aware that I’ve been using this kind of communication with many I come in contact with. It’s silent conversation for anyone open to pick up on it. As mentioned above, it’s mostly babies and the young ones that I get feedback from.

Lovely, Paula. I've had clear telepathic non-verbal communication from my 1-year-old granddaughter. I was in communication with those who brought this soul to earth in the days before she was born. My energies were so "stirred up" that one sleepless night perhaps a day or two before she was born I travelled out-of-body to a gathering of many souls. It appeared something akin to "sacred ceremony" was occurring. It was in a cave lit by candles, crowded with beings, and a flat-bottomed boat moving along the still pool within the cave was bringing mother w/unborn child to a high place towards the back of the cave. Although I've never written of this, nor spoken of it, it seems harbinger to the new ones arriving here.

Not only sudden communication with people, but suddenly "grandfather" plants in the botanical gardens recently - a few surprised me with a sudden "hello". And clouds. And a tree whose branch I had to cut so I could use the front stairs - a tree that I kept apologizing to for the cut wept and oozed sap for months, and it tore at my heart. One day this tree clearly shot me a message: "Do not weep for what has been. Work with what you have and move forward."

Smart tree. I miss it.

Thanks for your simple method of silent greeting, Paula. Perhaps that is one reason you caught my attention immediately I came to this forum.

And a tree whose branch I had to cut so I could use the front stairs - a tree that I kept apologizing to for the cut wept and oozed sap for months, and it tore at my heart. One day this tree clearly shot me a message: "Do not weep for what has been. Work with what you have and move forward."

Smart tree. I miss it.

Thanks for your simple method of silent greeting, Paula. Perhaps that is one reason you caught my attention immediately I came to this forum.

Beautiful, detailed journey, Meggings. How fortunate to have history and connection with your granddaughter. Powerful message from Tree. They’re Wise Beings if you ask me.

A made a graphic of a conversation I had with a Tree a little bit ago:

I’ve been strengthening my inner communication muscles with nature and animals like I had while growing up. It’s become as natural as speaking to people only without the labor of words.

I remind myself to stop saying it’s only my imagination. The feeling of fullness is my proof and sometimes the tickle in the belly and other times, I’m brought to tears.

Of late, I catch myself speaking with the wind. She responds. Sometimes it’s the trees that say, “Hey, Paula pay attention.”

I've had a lot of losses this past year moving through it still. Some days are better than others.
C is doing better. Thank you all for your love and prayers.

Feels like I'm stepping into the unknown.
Nora, sending a 'Sierra squash hug' your way.

I have a feeling many of us will join you in stepping into the unknown.

Note to self: do not attach a label. Welcome the ride. No helmets or knee pad required.

Love,

My son still had no verbal language close to age three. One day I was in the kitchen, he in the living room, when I knew he was thirsty and wanted water. I poured a glass for him, carried it in there, was handing it to him when I realized what I was doing. I pulled back, looked him in the eyes and said, "you must learn to say it out loud. When you tell me in words that you want water, I will give it to you," and walked back into the kitchen. A minute later he walked in, held up his hands and said,"wawa." I gave him the water, and from that day forward, he began speech. I'm afraid, though, that I lost the mental connection with him.

¤=[Post Update]=¤

Nora, my heart feels deeply for you. But, also I want to thank you for helping me remember that I'm not the only one going through hell and I need to let go of my ego about it all.

[Guest]

Snowflower,

Your post reminded me of one of Rumi's famous quotes, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you."
Love and hugs to you and all the Villagers tonight.


I'm curled up in front of a warm fire having a mug of hot cocoa reading "The Turning Point" by Gregg Braden.

I did Dr Boylan test for Mini Flash, and although she scores, in my view, above the minimal requirement to be star seed, my greatest amazement is that I score way over, much more than my daughter, including number 13, i do shut off street lights at times, lolllllllllllllll, me the oldie.
From that test,I do know quite a lot of starseeds it seems (not from the forum), and I therefore wonder if his test is good, I somewhat doubt it.

I scored 17 out of 54 = 31%.

According to Dolores Cannon, I’m in the first wave of volunteers if you go by age. But I experience overlap of the three waves: The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth (http://www.dolorescannon.com/blog/waves-volunteers-earth-generations-souls/).

I pass along a silent hello messages to all the babies and kids just to see how they react to someone who’s awake. Babies smile, some give a giggle and kick their feet and/or wave their arms and hands. They check out my aura. Younger kids mostly look with curiosity and smile as I pass them by.

Last summer, a little girl about 5 or 6 dashed out into the street. I was about fifty feet/15 meter away and sent a silent stop message because I saw the on-coming car. It wasn’t going fast and it was far enough away that she was in no real danger. But she needed to be aware of her surroundings. She looked over at me pointing to the car and gave me a nod. Then her mom and dad screeched from the sidewalk. While her parents yelled at her, she continue to watch me pass. I gave an affirmative nod to let her know that we were communicating.

On my walk today there was a boy about ten. He had the biggest eyes I’ve ever seen and a strangely shaped head and ears. I gave a recognition nod and a silent ‘welcome’ in case he was aware of who he really is. He was about to cross the street but stopped to let me past first. I sent a ‘silent thanks’ his way. Neither of us kept eye-contact for long. I asked myself why I didn’t. My answer was that I followed what he did. As I continued on, I sent one last ‘hello’ message without looking back.

As I’m writing this I’m aware that I’ve been using this kind of communication with many I come in contact with. It’s silent conversation for anyone open to pick up on it. As mentioned above, it’s mostly babies and the young ones that I get feedback from.

<3

Last summer, I was sitting at a downtown Faire booth where my husband volunteered, when a tall, angular, quick moving woman with three children suddenly veered to the booth, came around the table, and stopped next to me. All four had very serious faces, with eyes whose awareness made them seem huge to me. The woman told me the children wanted to hug me, would that be all right. I said of course, and the children proceeded to gravely hug me one by one, then look directly at me, in descending order of age. Shyly, quickly, then turning away to make room for the next child. I think, a boy, about ten, a girl about five, and a boy about three. I hugged them back, very gently, as gently as possible, my awareness flared to see their energy. Then they all walked away. No smiles. The incident had an odd intensity or meaning.

I think they were demonstrating something to me, but I'm not sure what, yet. I hesitate to say it aloud. Their energy reminded me of someone who works in a coffee/bakery/lunch shop down the street that my sister and I visit when we do weekly shopping down the hill. I think the next time I see him, I will gravely ask him what his sign is, just to see what he says, because I am curious.

I wonder what I showed to the children, I have no idea what my face did, so caught up in the oddity.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Totally floored. Like usual I had no idea what I stuck my face into.

I am nto understanding this at all.

what suggestive pictures? what did she do?

unbelievable. and of course I was in the middle ofit completely naïve, not knowing what was going on. Just trying to help.

What can I say, I'm really pissed off. getting sucked in yet again. being trusting and thinking the best of someone, holding their higher seld up to them andsomehow I lead them poff the deep end.


Yet in my private life so many look up to me. Hoe can there be such a wide difference between the two? I am the one with the answers, with the solutions. Here I am just a **** disturber. quite perturbing.

And for this I have no solution. heavy sigh. Of course more and more people are leaving my circle these days. What with you tube and the www, there is not much need for me anymore. I wads the walking dictionary and encyclopedia. Now I am just another regurgitator of what everybody already knows or has already heardanbout.

I am becoming obsolete.

all Ican say is I am sorry . My mind is all I ever had. in the modern world you don't need one ... just googlre it and you got the answer. No need for putting it in context...

so sad. Luckily, I don't and never have had any need for others.

They seek me, I don't seek them. words to ponder...but ya, I'm hurting just the same.

This same scenario has been a recurring theme throiughout my life. I missed the signs, was on the wroing side, upheld a mistaken belief, didn't trust when I should have, trusted when I shouldn't have. blah, blah.

Had a grewat evening with my friend in real time. I guess that's all that really matters.

Nic eto see Bill come around - he does so so rarely.

I'll just fade away for a time again. Let all be right with the village, although I have no claim in any way to it, ashas been pointed out various times in the past.

Ernie, you are loved. And not only because you are a senior Villager, or a great writer, or a wise old soul.

Here and now, so much has been shared in the Village recently. I have so many thoughts that are pressing outward. I haven't had the accessibility and the opportunity to share them at the same time. I hope I find both, before these thoughts leave me.

Trying to buy a house is a crazy process. And the tornado of dating whipped through my life. K needs my help, and I must gather supplies. All of a sudden, many things need my attention. It is so much better to be able to describe one's situation as productive rather than busy.

Much Love,

Today it's my aunt's funeral, I don't like funerals... At least not the christian ones, she was not christian but was more into buddhism and other kinds of spirituality. But well... we live in Spain and I must be in the forefront at the church receiving condolences from people that I know for sure they don't give a **** about my feelings, just because is the right thing to do.

The real farewell will be in the mountain, with just family and close friends, and a tree will grow from her remains full of kindness, compassion and good will.

On a different topic, I think the shrooms begin to show up! Or maybe I was sleepy this morning... :P

The spirit carries on.




Peace.

You could also see yourself as united with those people, and even though their traditional views are not the same as yours nor your aunt's ...what all have in common is our vulnerability in the face of sudden loss.
They are obviously people who cared about her, or they wouldn't have made the effort to go to her funeral.
Their sorrow is real to them, as is their compassion for you.

Now that I read again what I wrote I realize that maybe sounded a bit harsh. I know a lot of people, most of 'em, care about our loss (and their own loss indeed!) I was just thinking about a minority among them.

Just a mix of negativity (I'm having a weird day), bad english skills and prejudices about catholic related stuff.

I know exactly what you mean, living here in this staunch Catholic country, a stronghold even...
and with this huge family of my husbands there are endless funerals to attend.

In the beginning I had the same sentiments you expressed and had to find an angle with which to approach those events. So I thought I might share how I learnt to deal with it.

Being a bit of an emotional sponge I would cry at all funerals even if I had never known the deceased person.
So I guess I was like a valve for the collective emo overflow.
It was tough, and a lesson I just could not get out of.

And then when my father-in-law died just over a year ago I saw lots of signals from him, from the other dimension. Really amazing. I hope you get some of those today.

Here is one picture where a sun ray coming through the church window in the back of the church, when blown up, was one of those signals, as if he was in the arms of the Virgin. It gave a lot of comfort to his widow and nine children when I shared it with them.

But well... we live in Spain and I must be in the forefront at the church receiving condolences from people that I know for sure they don't give a **** about my feelings, just because is the right thing to do..

Mikelodium, there are those that really do give a **** about how you care. Don’t worry about the receiving line. They understand the shock you are in. What I learned that in the time of need is most people are there for you. Alls you have to do it be open and flow with it.

When Michael, my son, died I decided not to tell my family. The complex dynamics between eight kids and parents was too much for my body that was on overload.

Michael’s father called to say come over. I asked why mostly because I knew I’d need time to prepare. I’d not gotten a phone call from him in all the years our son grew up and Michael then 23 was off on his own. He hung up before I could press him further.

It could only mean Gramma, ex-mother-in-law or my son. I remember that I made a lot of deals with God on the drive over. I remember the battle for my legs to stand up when I saw my ex, his wife and Gramma in the kitchen. I wanted it to be Gramma. I couldn’t wait the eternity for someone to begin. I was me that said, “Michael’s dead,” and asked, “How?” Some one said, “Suicide.”

I felt small and far away standing in the kitchen at one end and them at the other. My ears couldn’t make out the muffled noise that came from Michael’s dad and Gramma sobbing. I said I need a moment and hid in the bathroom hugging at a towel that muffled my sobs and screams on the bathroom floor. Not more than a few moments later, Gramma pounded at the door. She insisted I come out because she needed me. Step mother came in not to console but to say that Michael’s dad is in a bad place.

When I came out he wanted to work through the burial and financial details. He wanted the ceremony done ASAP. Which meant another layer of complication for my family that lived in different states and almost half of them lived in the west coast. And a financial burden for them all.

When I got home, Michael’s dog greeted me at the door. Words came out before their meaning. I told him that Michael won’t be visiting us any more. Those words brought another level of clarity. I never felt more alone than I did in that moment. It took a night of nightmarish horror for me to decide to call out to my family. They put their petty concerns aside. Even those who hadn’t spoken for years.

I said my good-byes to Michael in a private funeral. At the church I stood to thank the people. The church was filled with others that cared, too. Everyone one of them were Earth Angels that day.

Even though I was numb for most of the day, I was grateful that my family was there. My heart expanded both from the pain and the love. The power of people coming together is immeasurable.

With heart,
Paula <3

I'm sensitive and emotional too, but not in funerals. I don't know why though. I cried and suffered a lot in the hospital while she was still alive. Now I miss her a lot (and I will until the end of my journey) but probably I will not cry tonight. Same happened with my two grandmas two months ago.

I'm afraid I can not pay attention to signals today. I don't feel comfortable in churches... Maybe on "my real farewell" on the mountain.

Taking a look at your photobucket I've seen that you had long hair before, and remembered when I was a child and my mom cut her long and beautiful hair... Holy cow... What a drama!

Thank you Paula and Ulli for your words. This night I'll focus on my family and I will try to be as positive as I can.

I feel so sorry for what you passed through with your son...




I would like to feel as half as comfortable that I feel here in the village today in the church.

P.S: I will see a cousin that I love a lot today, and it turns that her name is Paula :)

Big hugs.

I come from a very large Catholic family. I was looking through some pictures and I found one of brother S with his friends at the beach and he was with a Highway patrolmen right in the middle smiling...they all look happy and in good spirits on a warm sunny day. S was a crazy nonconforming kind of guy and wanderer. Knowing my Bro he was probably stopped and then charmed the Highway patrolmen and then they took this picture. He died in Oct last year, liver disease from guess what, drinking. Had a hard couple of years. But the thing is I still have that picture on my frig because it makes me smile and after he died I had a dream where he came to me and had a camera in his hand and keep on pointing to it.
And now I can't seem to move it from my frig.

Interesting story unfolding.

George Lucas announces plans to build low-income housing in affluent California community
Apr 16, 2015 9:49am PDT by Jen Hayden
91 56
George Lucas first purchased a large plot of land in Marin County in 1978. He built Skywalker Ranch and began movie production shortly thereafter. In 1996, Marin County executives agreed to Lucas' master plan to build a movie production studio on nearby Grady Ranch. His master plan even included a wine cave that would become a grassy knoll that would hide the studio from a nearby road.
As the project was about to break ground in 2007, nearby residents began to voice opposition saying they believed it would lower property value. Surprised by the staunch opposition to his long planned project, he eventually pulled the plug on the high-profile studio that most communities would be begging for in their own backyards.

This week, Lucas announced he's moving forward with a new plan for the area—affordable housing for the county's lower income residents:

Lucas, the Star Wars creator is offering his own property in west Marin County off Lucas Valley Road near Novato for the project, with plans for a community of 224 homes right where neighbors said no to his studio expansion.
“He said ‘we’ve got enough millionaires here. What we need is some houses for regular working people,’” Lucas’ lawyer Gary Giacomini said.

Neighbors say it is payback for blocking his studio plans. Lucas says if he can't use the land for the long-planned studio, he might as well do something to help lower income residents of Marin County—one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. The median home price in Marin County is an eye-popping $950,000.
While his neighbors are sticking by their claims that he is delivering payback, he's quick to brush those accusations aside:

“It’s inciting class warfare,” said Carolyn Lenert, head of the North San Rafael Coalition of Residents.
Mr. Lucas said in an e-mail that he only wanted “to do something good for Marin,” waving away accusations of ulterior motives.

“I’ve been surprised to see some people characterize this as vindictive,” he said, adding that there was a “real need” for affordable housing here. “I wouldn’t waste my time or money just to try and upset the neighbors.”

Whatever the motive, this move could mean real affordable housing in one of the Bay Area's most unaffordable areas. Kudos to George Lucas.

If there’s anything you read – or share – let this be it. The content of this article has potential to radically shift the world in a variety of positive ways.

And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.

In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. Though Paul is the world’s leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry.

Just to make clear how despicable this gets, try transposing that attitude to property to the people involved. I’ve just been rereading “Boule de Suif”, a short story by Guy de Maupassant, in which, in a wartime situation a courtesan becomes involved with some well-to-does, who take her food but provide none in return, and who force her to prostitute herself with the enemy in order to save themselves, without losing their disgust and contempt for this trollop.

My sister use to work at Twentieth Century Fox when George Lucas and Steven Speilberg just started out there. George decided to build SkyWalker Ranch which is on Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio, CA. So he hired she and a few others and moved up to San Rafael area in the interim.

Up until about five years ago, she and her husband were the Ranch Managers. They lived there. Her husband is still employed in a PR capacity. Because I had summers off, I stayed for extended periods of time. I was one of his lunch guests (a tag along with my sister). He had two of his three kids with him, his son, Jett and daughter, Katie. I learned that he was a regular guy when he excused himself to change his son’s diaper.

SkyWalker Ranch sits on 5000 acres of land. There were a couple of concerns the community had with him building. Fire safety with the increased traffic such as cigarette tossed out the window. Parking lots filled with cars would detracted from the neighborhood. George Lucas solved it by building his own fire department including certified EMT. Many times the SkyWalker Fire Department is the first to arrive at the scene of an accident. Lucas Valley Road is windy with some hairpin curves and is steep in spots. And they’re on call for the community as well. He built an underground parking garage. And designated a huge parcel of land for the ranchers’ cattle to graze. They’re active in many community projects too.

There’s a vineyard at SkyWalker Ranch. I got a chance to submit a label design for his wine collection, but it didn’t make it. There are dinning areas for guest and staff. All the food comes from the organic garden and free range animals. There’s also a daycare center for staff, a softball field with lights for organized teams, an indoor and outdoor pool, duck pond and boats alway available, full work out gym with high tech equipment, indoor basketball court, dance hall and spotless showers facilities.

Every 4th of July, George Lucas has a picnic. Staff and families spend the day with families of big name producers, composers, artists, etc. There are games, rides and arts and crafts for the kids, cooks outs, music bands, etc. I’ve been to a couple of them. A photo of me in a rope pulling contest made it into one of their annual yearbooks.

It’s a pristine environment and beautiful place to walk. If you don’t want to walk there are bikes all around to get from one place to another. Oh, and underground tunnels for the deer.

Sophie, on page 66.

I went to the library today and just before leaving, impelled to grab that other book and...you know, just have a look (that's how it always starts :) ) I already had difficulties balancing the piles of books I was holding when I got there. I opened it randomly, on page 66, a poem called Sophie.

Now that can count for a sync. This Sophie is following me everywhere, and I still don't know who she is. But I'll find out, some day...before I'm 66.

(I have more to write about, but my hands stilll have dough on them and I need to water the plants and empty the kitchen cabinets for some scheduled piping work, and so on. All very exciting stuff :yawn: so I might be back later and add some stories).

I just watched a short documentary on George, as narrated by George. He seems like a genuinely good person.

Which is probably why some are working hard to tear him out of the system that he created (quite successfully, by the way), when they denied him entry to the studio system.

The vast majority of what you see in modern filming, technically, even the idea of how it is filmed, its self..the devices..the cameras, even that is due to George.

Is there a vast conspiracy by lesser people of sociopathic intent, people of cunning and weakness?

I don't doubt it. I've never doubted that the problems of this world are created and enabled by small minded lesser people, whom I do not speak in whispers about. People whom are enablers of a thing of greater depth, a group that hides behind these lesser people.

There is a series called 'world's greatest film directors', and it is 1/2 hour episodes of the directors speaking on their lives. Origins and then their paths and aspirations. some of them were very frank about the idea of social responsibility.

John McTiernan, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McTiernan)of the Bruce Willis die hard directing fame, was specifically speaking about souls, dimensions, doorways and the projection and creation of reality via the visions seen in a film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomads_%281986_film%29). How garbage films were immoral and very dangerous in the idea of reality creation and flow, within a society.

John refused to direct the first Die Hard film, as the finished script was about terrorists. He asked that it be changed to being about robbery, as that is not a projection of terrorism. They changed the script, and he directed the film.

Nomads, was originated or it's premise was on the Inuit's technique of verifying..while out alone... that an encounter out on the ice or whatnot, was a real human not a demon or djinn. That the person or Inuit in this case, has specific communication cues and clues about approaching this 'person' or not.

Ie, ley line and hot spot encounters with dimensional doorway situations, dealing with predatory beings. This is directly related to Missing 411. So yes, there is a fictionalized account of some of the 411 scenarios, and it is a film called 'Nomads', done in 1986.

If the encounter is about being alone, being susceptible, when alone, then we are dealing with cumulative energies and cumulative issues regard the steering of reality.

Which takes you directly to his feelings and statements of responsibility in film making for the creation and direction of reality, for humanity. John McTiernan 'gets it'.

My thoughts after reading these two posts, and also on how hardships can appear on an individual's life screen.

There are two domains, or levels. That of the individual and that of the collective.

Someone who has not yet integrated all aspects of themselves,
and are in denial of the less wholesome personalities they give vent to,
will suffer hardships due to the consequences of their actions.

And then one day, everything clicks and self knowledge appears. At that moment all sorts of synchronicities happen, and one's wishes can quickly become reality. This means they have found their inner God, that magic wand; call it what you will.

And after that enlightening event they soon wonder what comes next.
And logically, the next level is the collective. Here it is no longer exclusively about the individual.

You will live inside of your deeds in the future. And so one better starts to get to work on helping the collective or what else is the point of life if the world around us goes to hell?

So these individuals, although they have learnt to get what they desire, still have to face hardships.
Those earlier hardships, which were thrown at us by our own unresolved subconscious, and were parts of our inner dungeon, are now silent.

Yet new hardships, greater than before even, are happening. So you have martyrs for important causes. So I asked myself why do these selfless people still have to suffer ?
And so the answer was whispered into my ear:
Because of identification with humanity at large, the individual person attracts all the unresolved shadow stuff from the
collective.
Because if they lived in a state where they used their new powers exclusively to improve their own lives, and there are many of those, their own future will never deliver in the long run.
So this is what the sacrifice of the great old masters was about....

The moment one sticks one's neck out for a particular cause these days it is SHTF time.

But if one has a group of enlightened people who see all this in the same light, IE unity of vision, then one can move things forward more effectively and one's suffering is reduced.

The key to get there is brutal honesty with oneself, and even each other, without a trace of malice.

[Carmody]

The lesson is that there really are thinking caring people, knowledgeable people in the given systems, even the motion picture environment - and that this is an ever changing ever evolving battle, as it has always been. Overall, the impression is that Hollywood is full of corrupted people and that is true, but there is an offset concern that is capable of changing things. Most people in that system aren't aware of the depth of the issues surrounding projection of and in consciousness and simply pursue the money or the power... but that is changing.

Basically, for a person to get to the point of understanding the issues of consciousness and reality creation ----being a sociopath gets a person there sooner, not later. The hard clear minded sociopath gets to that logical conclusion first, as the emotions that get in the way of rumination are not there. They merely got there first. (stages of emergent clarity have people wrestling with the desire and fear based components, as the initial form and steps of that function, which is the experiences that humanity as a whole and individually are now wrestling with)

The conclusion is that our frontrunners in the emergent clarity of humanity have been sociopaths, and as a whole..... represent a stage, not an end point. The trick is to see the whole of it and know it, and not get caught up in this stage as being an end point (fear and desire ruling reality creation and flow)... to understand that - and continue past it.

As humanity changes and the people who ride on emotional projection as a way of flowing in life, also begin to arrive at a greater clarity, they wrest control away from the sociopath based projection. That is where the sociopathic try to throw the fear based wrecking ball in the evolution of self in the more emotionally minded. They use fear and desire, baser emotions...as that is what they know. Thus the fear and desire based and considered Albert Pike scenario.... is the weak end of the pool, not the strong. Control, fear, and desire is all you seem to see coming out of that quarter. Again, lesser humans, not greater. I was told by one person, that 'fear works better', but that is like beating children or whatnot, and it is the mark and sign of weak small minded people, not leaders, progressives, or stand outs in society.

I stayed with some very special people in Hollywood in 1978 and again in 1988. I have no idea how they can survive in such a toxic environment, and even though I nearly ended up there myself, when Brian Ferry's agent proposed marriage, I realized that I didn't have the stamina for that world.
During my last trip there I was the house guest of the man who produced Back to the Future and the Witches of Eastwick, Neil Canton, a total introvert genius. I met his parents (Father was publicist for Columbia Pictures and brother Mark Canton was then CEO of Warner Brothers)
His wife was a close friend of mine, and had invited me. These people dispelled my prejudice that all Hollywood was plastic at best and satanic at worst. And when I asked her to take me just once to go to the Polo Lounge at the Beverley Hills Hotel she refused to take me. Told me that they avoid places like that like the plague, lest they become contaminated by the darker side of Hollywood.
So it is important always, to be discerning, and remember that there are white hats out there, making immense sacrifices.

If you read this entry from Wikipedia, you can see what the people in the backdrop have tried to do to John McTiernan for being an aware human being.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McTiernan

In the same directors series, was a 1/2 hour interview with Mel Gibson. he specifically spoke about his three 'E's of film making. First entertain, always entertain, to get the 'bums on the seats', so the movie does well, then one can go forward (money return means studio involvement), the next two are educate, and Elevate. He spoke about people's 'BS meters' being fairly good, so they can see what is going on out there in the world, about him, his reputation, and crap thrown at him, and the overall Hollywood scenario and working as an independent, using film making groups outside of Hollywood studio and distribution control.

Which takes us to the issues of the internet, and government moves to infiltrate and control, and continue the fear and desire based whip and lure and mechanism of projected control.

The logic to take home in this is that weaker and lesser humans use violence, fear, anger, animal behavior and projection of such into society and culture, in order to get their way. They simply are not evolved enough to do it any other way. If they were evolved they would put those way, thoughts and life projection away, they would not be of that type or ilk. And groups, be it dimensional, satanic, etc, are also not evolved and are of lesser being lesser self... not greater. lesser intelligence, not greater. so they go after the group mind of the unevolved as way of feeding their own undeveloped and unevolved inner parasite.

Circular logic of the unevolved as projection into society. That's the core of militarism, animalism, totalitarianism, war mechanisms, financial mechanisms, forms of religion and their core structures, and the face of most secretive groups that are known to exist, with regard to feeling out the backdrops behind the public face.

A final statement is that patience, the patience of the greater evolution toward the evolution of the 'lesser mind projection into humanity', patience of it ---- is running out.

http://www.ted.com Mycologist Paul Stamets studies the mycelium -- and lists 6 ways that this astonishing fungus can help save the world.

Quite peaceful here today. We are snowed in behind 16" of snow with more than a foot still expected. Wish it could last and just tell the world out there to take a hike, lol. But tomorrow, my son will crank up the skid steer and open the road. Maybe it won't start or something. Of course, it's only nice as long as no one has a severe health issue and we have everything we need...

Who is the anti-christ, if it's not a person than it's a company I vote for MONSTANTO. Thanks, runningdeer for the Stamets video, I am watching it as I am eating a mushroom omelet.

Joyce introduced the stream of conciousness. I got Ulysses but I just couldn't read it. It didn't work. Like Waterland didn't work. Boring is not a fair term, isn't every reading subjective? No book is a general appreciation. Generally, no work of art should be one definition.

But this is how it works in education, unfortunately. You read a book, you study the consensus meaning, and ideally that's what you'll repeat on the exams. And if you want a few bonus points you can just go ahead and...oh well, maybe add your own appreciation, or interpretation of it - not that this could ever coincide with what the artist really meant, of course.

Do artists even do that? Write a book and say: hey, this book is about the World War, and if you read anything of a love story or science fiction in this...Well, then you just can't read. Or a painter that says: this painting depicts nothing more but a bridge and you must only see it that way. And please, don't add any of your emotions. It'll ruin my art.

I gave my manuscript to a couple of people when it was at 30%. They were impatient, and I denied them not the sneak peek. The one said it was hard to make meaning of the whole. The other said it's vague and there is no story. In part it was subjective (in part not, some chapters still needed reworking, which I did after the right inspiration came). Their experience, it's their right. I accept the possibility that even if these (or other people) read the whole story, they'll still think that. I felt like that when reading Verhelst in high school (Flemish writer, link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Verhelst ).

I'll be keeping the feedback in mind (and not overdo the challenge) but I'm not changing the element that causes the confusion, because as opposed to the readers' perception, I wasn't being sloppy. I respect you and the contents of your skull (and I believe in the potential of that content). This is for you. What do you see? Here's the girl, and she's here right, and she's there as well, but she's not the same now. She's saying different things, not like before, she looks a bit different too. Has she changed? Oh, who's speaking now? It was the girl, right? That's how it started. With "she". Or is it the mother? Oh, no, wait, it's that midget, look it says "he" now and "he" is a male. Wait a minute, I thought I just read males don't exist in that city. Then where did he come from?

This is not how I write, lol, it's a possible thinking process.

There is a story and there is meaning. I know that, I made it. It's about a girl, and about a mother. A mother who's there, yet she rarely is. And the girl, unknowingly, unwillingly becomes a reflection of her mother, whose absence she deplores. And she disappears in her own way. Now she's here, now she's gone again. Multiple layers and jumping around but there is a red cord, a red thread. Instead of serving it on a platter, I want the reader to go and find it. I care not about becoming the next bestseller. If I want that I'll just write about how difficult it is to be a next-generation migrant or how religion opresses me, which is what the doctor is trying to get me to do, or so I understand.

I just want people to be awake when they read. Reading I mean.


Post-update next day:

This ties into the recent evolution of abstracting. I think, looking at it, it was a precursor without me knowing. I simply wanted to entertain a Roald Dahlish audience, especially kids with big problems in this world. Books are gateways, if you don't have any other escape. So, it had to be simple, real enough and yet plenty of outerworldliness. Long sentences or too difficult ideas, for this young audience, were simplified, again and again. And what happened is it didn't become an easier read, at all...quite the opposite. It became a challenge. For me as well as for probably a bit older audience now.

You know how poetry sometimes reads so fragmentary, distant? It's a feeling in a moment. After that moment vanishes, the poem is now a puzzle. You can get into that moment too, not being the poet himself, but not by that quick glance I took at Sophie on page 66.

Sunset due North

I forgot about this experience until it just happen again. I figured I’d post.

I waited at a red light and saw the sunset in the north at about 3:30 p.m. I double-tripled checked. I reasoned that the sky is thick with dark clouds and yet I saw the sunset. I blinked and refocused and still the identical picture. It was an overlay is the only words that come to mind. I continued to see it even when the light changed to green.

Slight headache for the last 24+ hours. I recall Carmody’s post about the high energies and sunspots. That could be the it.

This picture reminds me of the illustrations in books by a British children's author, Arthur Ransome. I loved those books.

This is the exact view of the Big Dipper I see when sitting out on the deck at night.

A five foot tall version of this picture in front of me during meditation would be nice, set up so the horizon is at eye level. The real thing on deck doesn't work, I keep wriggling to see the stars eclipsed by tree branches. I end up talking to the stars instead.

Hello Village,
I've been stalking this little village for a few weeks now and it seems like a nice place to stop by and have a cup of coffee (or tea). Today I had lunch with a friend I met in a tarot class. It was nice to be around someone (in person) and be able to talk to about the things that interest me these days. We discussed astrology, tarot, conspiracy topics, aliens, and spirituality. Not many people I can do that with! The only other place I feel at home lately is on PA....so thank you for being there, at least online!

Hello awakeningmom, great to see you here :)
That's an interesting discussion we've been having on that other thread. I'm sure you understand I don't have all the answers - but you might find a few right here. :)

[Violet]

Sync. Just finished reading a couple of Carmody's posts up here. It's a great prospect and I have noticed - for those little moments I watch - a difference on the screen already.

Europe is a bit ahead of Hollywood in this respect. Aragorn gave the example of Ben-X, recently, Belgian movie about kid with Aspergers. And did you see what they did with "de Loft" (have and will not see, call me old-fashioned)? Director Van Looy allowed the film to be redone by American actors, to "better suit the American market". What was wrong with our actors? I found it somewhat insulting. It just had to work,...and sell. They messed it up. As opposed to its local success, it totally flopped in the US.

Otherwise, I also recommend Scandinavian, Dutch (=not the same as Belgian) and Hungarian (children's) movies. There is a lot of talent in each region and it's amazing to see the world change every time again through regional eyes.

Does this exist in the US too? Like movies from Texas that are totally different from...say movies in Minnesota, even though both are in English?

Good Morning, Village :)

Journeyon and awakeningmom, and roison too, how nice that you have found us. I have found this Village to be quite a respite from the chaos surrounding me. Pull up a comfy chair, or plop down by the bonfire. I personally love a bonfire. I'm quite a fan of s'mores too, so I usually have a stash of marshmallows and graham crackers. I can't promise I always have chocolate on hand, it seems to disappear constantly. Wonder how that happens? *innocent whistling*

Going to a powwow today. I wish it were authentic, but even events for the public are fun.

Here and now, I sit (stand, drive, sleep...) one foot in this world and one foot in another. On the edge again. Courage, be my friend. In fact, courage be a Village friend, here and now. I look around and do not see a single person who couldn't use some.

Much Love,

Talking about Hollywood propaganda and movies with sinister messages/directors (I could name a few obvious ones, but I won't - let's just say that they're the most famous ones and have always the most massive advertising campaigns which is quite disturbing), I too am glad that there are people like Lucas or Spielberg who always have something positive to contribute in their movies... Or J.J. Abrams who has directed the new Star Wars, it is apparent that Spielberg and Lucas have been his idols and he mimics their styles.

This is not the full interview, but I remember watching when it first aired a long time ago. He talks about my favorite things.
George seems like a really decent guy and has some interesting points about mythology and the "force". You have that power, too.

When it comes to languages, this guy sure knows them! Besides Finnish I can only understand, speak and write English quite well if I may say so. I barely can understand the basics of Swedish and French - even after studying the former language for years as a child. When it comes to other languages such as Spanish or German, I only understand some words or sentences.

I don't think the selfie fad will ever die out. I don't think the mirror fad will die out either lol.

especially since it is the prime component of existence here, the idea of temporal quantum based existence... involves projection and reflection, as the left and right hand of the now. The phantom of life.

No, no selfie drones, I can not tolerate that....I am so over selfies and I am also over Money, Disneyland, any tom Cruise movies and people on their phones while driving, this can really drive me crazy!! Saw two accidents right in front of me last year.

Here is a theory that I hadn't heard of before. That the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster of 1986 was a psy-op. That all the people who supposedly died then are actually still alive.

There are photos here, and what is strange is that some of them didn't even bother to change their names.

Thank you to those of you that have sent positive/healing/loving energy to Carole and family. Carole slipped into spirit form early this evening. Those of us in 3D form - especially her soul-mate husband and her children - could use a little more positive/healing/loving energy, if you've any to spare.


Sending in the big and small
Into your Blessed space

Makes sense. Here's another one: the Charles Manson murders, which effectively put an end to the sixties: Sharon Tate would appear to have become her own little sister - the one who didn't show up for her funeral. You wonder if Polanski is really a pedophile or if that's not just stuff to keep his mouth shut.

These giant trees and magical forest reminds mi the ones in Yakushima island, Japan. When I was in Japan I wanted to go there, but it's really really far from Tokyo and Kyoto.
That forest served as inspiration for the movie Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke).

That plumber messed up. Kitchen under water. All the cabinets still emptied until we get to the bottom of this. Meanwhile everything dispersed around the house. Okay, look for positive things,...

Good weather. We've been having some good weather in these last two weeks, up to 26°C. Now is the end of Easter Holidays, schools have taken off again this morning and the streets are empty again. Sunny still. It's like summer - when you're not the one travelling that is - and the whole city's flown out to the sunny south. It's wonderful!

Both I mean, travelling is nice too, if you pick the right place, but not travelling and having the empty city is way better. I look out and I can almost grab the canvas. And the silence...A city that goes silent is almost supernatural. Well, best stop here before I regret having fixed our holidays.

Mister Schindler mailed me. I don't know the man, but he had good news.

Two things are interesting about this and the timing. Schindler, Oskar, the historical figure. And the first name: M. which happens to also be the name of a deceased young man whom we had just recently discussed :bearhug: I consider this to be a yes- or go-ahead-answer.

As you may have been able to follow on the news there is a lot going on with boats trying to reach Europe from Africa and the Middle East. Of course, this has been going on for years. People have been dying for years too, just not so massively. Why people massively have to die to bring about that blink of an eye: oh, look over there, something's happening :ohwell: God only knows.

This "clandestine" crossing has also been used as a political weapon, against Europe, by some countries in North Africa, as in: watch out, or we'll just pretend we didn't see all those people heading for the seas,...and coming your way. Of course Europe wants the less is more, so, so far, it worked. That is, until the Middle East started boiling again and the influx from different angles was not so easy to control anymore. The Netherlands were among the first to heavily debate it. They're not done yet, apparently one party is persistent in insisting illegal immigrants go back asap. That was national. Yesterday, I believe, the EU member states sat together about the urgent issue.

They interviewed a Swedish representative (sorry TV-news, name went by, flash of second) I found her input very humane, she said it wasn't fair how all member states concentrate the hot potato in the countries where these things happen, namely Greece and Italy, and that there should be a fair division.

Italy has been ringing the alarm for years. Human rights watches having been ringing alarm bells too at how Greece is treating the illegal immigrants flooding the land...but yea, what European country do you think is going to say: Oh me me me, please let me have the immigrants, oh please. It's cynical, I know, and a very sad observation. Because, why should it be cynical at all?

They interviewed a lady on Malta, another end station for "illegal" boat immigrants, and she said we are all one, we are all humans (about why these people leave their countries and their impossible situations, which people for a long time took for granted, like it was a luxury problem). And so in an ideal world, yes, it shouldn't be cynical at all, European countries should be saying: Oh me me me, please let me have the immigrants, oh please, let me help. Because in that ideal scenario they would care about Italy and Greece's problems and the wider world's and maybe that Union would finally start being credible.

And of course the reticency also ties into experiences with migrants already present in EU countries, some of which already in next-next-next generations (Italians, Turks, Moroccans). There are problems, yes, and everyone is blaming everyone for who's responsible: it's the migrants (they come from uncivilised backgrounds, they'll never learn), it's the local government (it's not doing enough, it sets the wrong priorities, etc.), oh and it's racism, oh, and... :zip lips: the government of the country of origins. Where are you Morocco? Where are you Turkey? Where are you guys to speak up when stuff happens? We are now in the 3rd, 4th generations, good point, but not like you were very present in the overall development of the 1st generation workers that came here, and they could have used every bit of help, which nearly always came from the local Belgian people. All these countries of origins should be very ashamed of themselves for trying to take credit for the work that Belgium did with these people.

The Belgian government provided an educational framework for their children, social provisions, leisure provisions, and job opportunities (yes, there were good times in the past, never forget),...They invested in these people and now the countries of origins want to run away with the profit. And it doesn't help that parts of the guest country are losing faith in their original guests because it makes it all the more easy for the country of origins to demonise the guest country and make it more attractive to turn to them. Every person is free to do what they want, of course but the way it happens...Every year comes May/June, lots of happy travel adds on country of origin's local TV, with boats, cars and planes arriving back to the promised land, all kinds of assistance when we step out of the plane, yea right (Oh, now they know we exist): Our fellow-...fill in blanks (Moroccans, Turks, Tunisians,...). Do come on vacation, if you can, every year, and spend a lot of money in this beautiful country (that you had no reason to leave in the first place, what were you thinking anyway).

The countries demand loyalty from as far up as the 4th generations. Why? Just why? What binds us? Please don't pretend you care, and please don't use religion to try to bind something that you let break a long time ago.

Okay, end of this rant.

Now, let's see what Europe is going to do. I heard this morning they were going to divide the boat survivors fairly over the member countries.

And Schindler (wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oskar_Schindler))? Well, he had a plan, in very turbulent times. We need a good plan too. A very good plan for these turbulent times.

[ulli]

One thing to remember is the factor of crime which increases when refugees flood a stable country where infra-structure and social aid are available.

When Costa Rica got flooded by Nicaraguans during the Sandinista period the only sector of society that did well was construction and hardware stores as families had to protect their homes with iron bars from break-ins. All of urban inhabited Costa Rica today looks like a zoo. No more open windows without wrought iron, even as they will fish out your belongings with a stick.

I have lived in two such countries which before this type of invasion were relatively crime free. Experienced several break-ins in both, and which is why I now live in a remote region, and would probably escape still further if another wave of immigrants brought a crime wave wher we now live.
How wonderful to have governments open their arms to the third worlds refugees and really, they deserve to be applauded, but, unless they immediately start programs which educate the newcomers in how to get assistence and jobs, and learn to integrate without assaulting their hosts with burglaries and rapes, they will never attract decent people into the political arena. The job is just so hard, and the problems so overwhelming that the only way they get something out of it is by sneakily paying themselves a little extra or gladly accept it when someone smears their hands with the odd bribe.

Because this is the root of corruption, when life is so difficult and even traumatic that people's survival thinking become habitual, and in the end people on both sides have only one thought left: "the whole world owes me".

[Flash]

the difference between countries norms, values, beliefs is enourmous as well. And some values clash when put together.

For example, when I lived in Turkey, which overall is quite developed (the poor in Turkey were truly not poorer than in Canada), I finally understood that you are defined as a untrustworthy until proven the contrary. Prove your trust, and this with time elapse and always the same behavior, same words, always. And then maybe, just maybe, you will be trustworhty.

This is the exact oppositve in North America. Here the culture was saying - give a chance to the runner. Non guily untill proven guilty. Trust, and if something proves you you should not, then stop.

Both of these values and beliefs clash when put together. And it is always, for some reasons, the "do not trust, everyone is a crook" mentality that wins.

So my own culture has passed from a trusting one - giving the benefit of the doubt, to a no one is trustworthy culture (which for us is equivalent to everyone is a crook), within 25 years. And more and more in depth governmental and civil employees corruption.

And more of, everyone is a crook and we even have the permission to yell at anyone in the street for example (never seen 30 years ago). The respect is gone.

Not because one way of doing is better than the other, but because when put together they clash.

Everything was running fine in Turkey, because everyone think the same. So you inflate what you say by 50% because others will cut it by 50% anyhow. But a Quebecor who just say what is will not survive there. But a Turk inflating everything by 50% will make a bundle in Québec because we do not cut it, we take it as is. Not our fault, just the way of thinking that clashes. With time though, and with more contact, people come to get enough. And distrust starts. The receiving culture has changed.

The survivalist culture biaises wins, at all times it seems.


And yes, Ulli, you are right, this has to do with a culture of survival. Not that you have to be a rich culture to give the benefit of the doubt. Costa Rica was not rich, yet people did not need bars in their window. But the influx of people with other norms and values has hit their culture. One was a culture based on trust and living, the other based on a culture of survival.

My thoughts are with the people in New South Wales, Australia, who have been effected by the massive storm that has caused so much damage.

My hope is that the flash flooding doesn't cause much more damage.

My thoughts are also with those who have lost loved ones.

We just had parliamentary elections here in the weekend. It's safe to say that the results (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_parliamentary_election,_2015) couldn't have been much worse. I don't have any faith in politicians, I have put my faith in good people who know what they are doing. I guess just really have to take politics (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRskm01czP8) with humor or else you will lose your sanity. Then again, it could happen anyways!

Flowers from my garden for the Village.
This morning I will be getting a visit from the principal of the school next to our property
and will be making a proposal to her, regarding my plans to start a plant nursery.
She has some plant nursery projects going there.
The kids bring her these saplings from their home gardens, and I will offer to buy some of them,
which will bring extra funds to her school. Looks to me like a win win situation.

I didn't know that about Costa Rica. Sounds heavy. I must say I'm not comfortable with a direct link between the influx of foreigners and an increase in crime rates. There are undoubtedly more examples of places where refugees add up and countries must find good solutions, which I doubt metal bars can be in the long run.

I was looking into some DNA-routes, a while ago. You know, like these. A dna-sample is analysed and you can choose to have either or both dna ancestry from maternal and paternal side looked into. This is an example of a Belizean. :

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7435/9574771089_f517e887df_b.jpg

from a forum on biodiversity (link (http://www.forumbiodiversity.com/showthread.php/39102-Ancestry-Composition-Results-For-Anglo-Caribbeans-I-share-with-on-23andMe/page4))

When I look at these stories, I'm amazed at the route some of us made through history. It does seem that many* of us are a result of (sometimes urgent) movement. Ice age, drought, wars, famine, but also, love, work, hobbies/fascinations, and people move on, like they always have. Only now, it's different. Or is it? What happened in history when people started mass-migrating? We could check our history books and see if we can learn anything.


*Is there a line that never moved?




One thing to remember is the factor of crime which increases when refugees flood a stable country where infra-structure and social aid are available.

When Costa Rica got flooded by Nicaraguans during the Sandinista period the only sector of society that did well was construction and hardware stores as families had to protect their homes with iron bars from break-ins. All of urban inhabited Costa Rica today looks like a zoo. No more open windows without wrought iron, even as they will fish out your belongings with a stick.

Just finished posting about a system named Virtual Scanning on the alternative health section. I've done two free remote evaluations for Avalon members that were spot on and both are using the light therapy with good results. I can gift this to people up to May 10th. It's a very interesting way to wake up one's senses.

Beautiful weather (had my coat ready, hey weather man :confused:), faraway sound of a song:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiS37_EULj8

What else?

Solidarity march of all colours in Brussels, mourning the recent wave of victims of the Mediteranean sea.

http://s3.standaardcdn.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2015/04/23/d960fff6-e9a9-11e4-8141-97958e6295c5_web_scale_0.234375_0.234375__.jpg?max height=416&maxwidth=568&format=jpg (http://s3.standaardcdn.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2015/04/23/d960fff6-e9a9-11e4-8141-97958e6295c5_web_scale_0.234375_0.234375__.jpg?max height=416&maxwidth=568&format=jpg)

They are holding symbolic coffins. Simultaneous with EU-member states gathering again in Brussels, now as we speak, to (also) discuss boat refugees problem. Current ideas: sea patrol, internet patrol (apparently tickets for these boats can be booked via Facebook) and several member states accomodating refugees in solidarity with Italy and Greece.

Totally unrelated but recently brought up in the village...Women :sun: should be more visible on fora and news sites, so the following article (infra) finds. About 70% of people voicing their opinion online are men. Women are more hesitant (and hence invisible) especially in the stereotype male domains of technology and science. Read more in the Guardian: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/apr/23/women-are-silenced-online-just-as-in-real-life-it-will-take-more-than-twitter-to-change-that

Closing with the first few lines I picked of from the new Stromae song, not so much a Twitter ad:

L'amour est comme l'oiseau de twitter,
on est bleu de lui seulement pour 48h.
D'abord on s’affini ensuite on se follow.
On en deviens fêler et on fini solo.

I find it hard to translate to English, machines do an even worse job. Need a bit a help with it.

Funny Violet about women and forum. With many women not posting anymore and we were already few here, I felt desolated, like a rare specie. And I do find it difficult at time to post in an entirely male thread for example (although I won't stop myself). The energy is definitely different and ONCE AGAIN (complaining of society here), our/my voices are tiny.

So, I wrote to Bill Ryan for another purpose and also told him about my feelings.

Although this forum here is most probably the most women friendly on the WEB.

Women on the whole are more impressionable than men, and unless they had an education where they were taught early to participate in all aspects of life and to question everything it is just not in their nature.

Less so when the corporate world targets them with their huge advertising machine.

So they rely on the guys to do that questioning for them, which leaves them free to carry on with their task of grooming and shopping.

When the world stops enabling dumb women and women step forward on their own accord and start participating in creating a better world we will see the transformation process speed up beyond our wildest dreams.

Thanks for this and it means another memory lane for me. I was friends with a French woman in my London days Hermine Demoriane) who became a tightrope walker, and Philippe had been her teacher. She was a housewife at the time with a young daughter, married to poet Hugo Willians.
She started out with the wire in her garage, thirty cm (1') above the ground then gradually placed it higher and higher. I watched her perform one Saturday afternoon, above the Camden Lock (dirty water canal) in London, wearing silk chiffon robes which were blowing in the wind, with hundreds of people watching.
Quite a feat for a housewife with a dream.

I cannot agree less. Come on Ulli, I have seen so many educated and bright women, in life and the corporate world, who still would shut up in front of the assertive verging on agressive male that I cannot agree with what you say.

The problem is much more complex than this in my views

1. Women have to work twice as hard in the male world to have half the recognition. They get fed up and tired.
2. Women have to change their innate behavior in order to "produce wealth" in the capitalistic world, because of the male dominance. They get fed up with this.
3. Women are left with the house chores and the children manufacturing, education and often feeding/clothing/roof (at least part of it), they get very tired.
4. Women are demanded (not asked, it is an imposition of society) to remain pretty, Young and sexy despite being very tired - if not they are thrown out like old rag (ok guys, not everybody is in that situation, bur it is quite frequent). They are very tired to be considered as merchandise or house slaves.
5. Women are in a less advantageous economical situation than men (because of child raising and manufacturing and because of 30% less revenue on average for and equivalent job in Canada). So they are not as free in their endeaviours.
5. Women have learned, through experience, that fighting, trying to achieve, getting better, nurturing, helping, etc. does not pay. So yes, they start relying on often unreliable guys.

And last but not least

6. Women compete with one another, mostly the dumb ones who do not see the value of following smart ones, being dumb to start with. And often women will destroy each other, because of this competition, instead of helping. I am talking here of North America and Europe. I do not know how it is elsewhere. Why do they compete? Because of scarcity: scarcity of Financial well being, scarcity of male respect, scarcity of other women's appreciation, and scarcity of decent males altogether. Many males like dumb women, it is less difficult... in appearance, at first.

I don't see contradiction here. You just took the ball and ran with it further than I did. And I was making my comments based on observations of the world around me.
Remember here in Latin America they are just emerging from third world status
and grooming and shopping is their number one priority once they have spare cash.
Of course there is also that 10% sector which aims to get higher education.
I thought in the western countries equal pay had long been legalized.

[Flash]

Equal pay has been legalised but it ain't happening. I see it daily.

A position is offered, a man is offered X money, the woman much less, and she takes it because she has to feed her kids of because there is nothing else, or.... In fact, the way it is being done is that there is a range of salary, women being offered the bottom end of the range. And presumably having equal pay. And if they want true equal pay based on their education and experience, they can go work elsewhere. The only place equal pay works efficiently is in governments and their subsidiaries.

Jimmy Carter left the Southern Baptist church after sixty years, because of inequality teachings between men and women.

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/losing-my-religion-for-equality-20090714-dk0v.html?stb=fb

Women and girls have been discriminated against for too long in a twisted interpretation of the word of God.

"I HAVE been a practising Christian all my life and a deacon and Bible teacher for many years. My faith is a source of strength and comfort to me, as religious beliefs are to hundreds of millions of people around the world. So my decision to sever my ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, after six decades, was painful and difficult. It was, however, an unavoidable decision when the convention's leaders, quoting a few carefully selected Bible verses and claiming that Eve was created second to Adam and was responsible for original sin, ordained that women must be "subservient" to their husbands and prohibited from serving as deacons, pastors or chaplains in the military service."

Something most men don't seem to quite understand, as they willingness to battle it out has no limits.

Don't you see that while writing about parameters that are still somewhat true on day to day life in America, we were having fun? Humour is the first step of letting go quite often.

Second, I agree, this is an old paradigm. Malheureusement, this paradigm is still vastly used by most of the humans on this planet. Deciding to not mention it ever again will not change the situation, and I must say mentioning it does not do much good either. But. the first changes usually occur through awareness. By seeing what is, just what is, nothing else than what is. Then we can change. Same for racism, same for bullying in school, same for being the bully, same for everything.

So, glad you are so over it. I am happy for you.

in the meatime, I really want to be able to name what is, and having fun doing it (despite the difficult facts) without having a moral lesson on it.

Women bitching at women.

Ullie, this was not directed at you or Carter. Some people have to act due to the inequality if they see. But this inequality is systematic. I just can't see how bashing ANYONE is helpful at this time. If your treated unfairly then act on it. Women can be just as mean and dictatorial then men, I have seen it first hand so men do not have the upper hand on manipulative and cunning behavior, both sexes can and do play that game.

So then it was directed at Flash.
My impression is that she is tired herself, of having had to battle on her own.
And maybe she is not whining, but reaching for help, for solutions, for suggestions.
Don't you remember that she is still looking for a job, and having a hard time finding one?
I could tell her to get out of scarcity thinking, but I know she is already working on it. I could tell her to be more patient, but I already know her well enough that she is working on that, too.
So she sounded a bit hopeless.
I will send her waves of hope and confidence and luck to triumph over all the other applicants.

Hodgepodge Post-its

Today, I purchased a bed quilt and living room curtains, sheers and panels that keeps the sun out. If this summer follows the extreme pattern of winter then the panels are a cost saving investment. Feels like a brand new home.

I took the back roads to get to the store and noted that the road was filled with litter. I was annoyed because people should at least be aware enough not to toss garbage out the window. Who’s going to clean it? Universe manifested (sort of). On my trip back to return items there was a huge street cleaner that looked like a Zamboni with a long line of impatient drivers on this small country. Never saw one before in the twenty plus years I’ve lived here.

Continuing with hodgepodge…

I’m noticing that out of the blue I get light headed and catch myself leave the body. Then a slight involuntary jerking movement happens. Reentry like when you go off to sleep.

I'm seeing beautiful watery-metallic blue flashes and auras pop-up in my face, in my periphery or in trees. Sometimes I catch the same color or purplish aura in my fingers and hands like when I lock my car door or open the sun roof.

For the last month, my body requires a lot of sleep. Active dreams. A lot of strangers in new surrounding converse with me. As it is the 24 hour day is now more like 12 hours.

All this certainly keeps things interesting.

I’d add Flash is in a life transition as well with Mini-Flash not so mini and more. Young woman going off to college. The Mom label has shifted. So has her time and energy in a sense even though you never stop worry about your kids.

Time’s freed up to hava-a-look at how to change health habits (based on prior concerns and posts). And/or there’s a much needed new sense of purpose. It’s funny how that’s when the old issues tend to rise up.

Broom-time.

Then…time for new roads and a redo of labels of “Who am I?" "And what’s next?”

PS Sorry for talking behind your back, Flash. I continue to send you high frequencies.

Please Running Dear and Ulli, don't excuse me.

I am just not digesting the moral high ground on high horses that CCME has taken. She does not know me at all, we never even exchanged through writing in some threads, so how, in this world, does she allows herself to judge others and judge where they are at?

I was mentionning some facts amongst some semi-jokes, making fun as well. Why would it me my mishap or mistake for mentioning what most women on that planet live through, and lots in much worst circumstances than mine?

I am not backtracking because someone says boo!

I do not need to be excused/forgiven, she does.

Edit: i must add thank you for your concern both of you, Running deer and Ulli.

Just noticed I mistakenly wrote Running Dear above , well.. I am not changing because I think it anyhow.

I had an awesome dream last night about two Golden Eagles. They were soaring inward and outward above me interwoven in a beautiful dance. Sparks flying from their shimmering wings. Amazing. Just wow can't believe it.

Seeing a lot of our winged friends lately, yes even a Golden, a Falcon and the Great Horned Owls.

Hi, everyone! I would like to wish everyone around this great planet of ours a great day! May it filled with PEACE and HAPPINESS.

Same to you!! And to the planet.

I do remember having said something similar in the past: about finding balance between inner masculine-feminine as well as in the outside world. We can't replace one imbalance for another one, which is what will inevitably happen if we passionately jump into change.

And due credit to the males for helping to make this one of the best forums, if not the best, in the world, to be at as a woman.

Here and now...debating with myself whether to make a post on Gio's Matrix/Terminator origin thread.
One of those conspiracy stories where the debunkers win, in my view. So it's a bit of a hot potato.
Nah, better not go there.....

[RunningDeer]

I am a women and I have been on this forum for quite some time. I have never had problems posting here even if this is basically a male forum. I just can't get into the male vs female thing anymore, I see we are all people attempting to figure out what the hell is going on here, and this goes beyond gender. The male vs female thing is old paradigm in my opinion and I just will not go there, been their done that let's move on. I see this as a form of whining sorry but I do, let's blame....... and polarize so we can play the victim. The divide and conquer thing just get's a person in a weak position. We all need to see each other as human beings and stop pointing fingers and going past old unfair patterns, I am so over that.
Let's move on, shall we.

I didn’t take offense at cccme’s opinions. They’re similar to what I’ve stated. I don’t have a need to comment and get tired of hearing my broken record.

Males and females are more alike than different. Often it’s the language that creates hot zones like the words: strengthens and weaknesses. Instead, each of us has areas that we perform more effective in. Thought patterns were intentionally engrained and entrained in us to make certain of the divisions in humanity.

"Busted, you bastards. I see now. Walking. Walking away now, you bastards." :p

As the higher frequencies fill us, our thought patterns clear. The focus of left-right paradigms will naturally be replaced with emphasis on the growth in perceptions, creative ideas, and solutions. Awareness and knowledge will certainly help move it along.

It’s happening daily in my own life. It’s small to the outside world, but I do and see things in ways that have me say, “How’d I not see that before?” I actually catch myself in the middle of the 'doing'.

This is beyond intelligence. It’s about being receptive to the higher frequencies. Be open to and ground them within the body-spirit vehicle. Allow the frequency and allow yourself to break down the energetic templates that were designed to keep us in lock-down from natural humanity and intelligence.

I meant to share this...
I had the most vivid dream last night about meeting Graham Hancock.
We were on the family farm, and in the dream my Grandfather and father were still alive.

Hancock was visiting and I had to get everyone their drinks, like juices, water, coffee....
And I was fascinated and felt honored that such an eminent scholar had dropped by.

Blessings to George Ann Hughes who passed away. Love and peace be with you.

And I was fascinated and felt honored that such an eminent scholar had dropped by.

I've been a fan of Graham's for a couple of years now after I heard and read his theories about the pyramids and the past (advanced) civilizations,
I really admire his integrity. It's always interesting to follow his journeys in Facebook.

Just a few days ago I received his book about the flooded kingdoms of the past (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0718144007/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=). I showed it to my mother and to my surprise she started to read it before I had the chance although she never tends to read english books (and that book is really big). When I asked my parents what they thought about those underwater formations, both of them thought that they certainly were not natural. I told them that the last time those ruins were above sea level, was about 12 000 years ago.

So nice to see you back here, Nora. Just as I was wondering what happened to the original crowd of this thread, who understood what we were doing, and why.

Because I sincerely feel that Marianne's leaving, (caused by someone who had no idea what this forum was about, yet even managed to collect a number of supporters, and even enablers) has hurt this forum as a whole.

Which is why I am now sharing my thoughts, and my wish that people here reevaluate for themselves the purpose of Bill's vision, (backed up by his team of moderators) and the place this forum occupies in the context of the science/political/mystical world at large.
Why are we here, now?
And of course that is the most important question anyone could ask themselves, isn't it?

And when a person finds the answer then the next realization is that alone one can achieve nothing, no matter how bright one's light.
There have to be supporters; people in agreement with one's view, or better still, people who have come to the same vision all on their own, and also realized that only as a united group can anything be accomplished.

Of course here (on this forum) we have quite a few who are still stuck in all sorts of different thinking modes...
that all is Maya, illusion, hence there is no point even trying. Just let's all sit here and meditate forever, and /or shoot down anyone who believes that this world is anything other than a fleeting soap bubble, about to pop at anytime.

So here I am, spelling out the obvious again, about the point of it all. And that unless a person can see where Bill is going, don't even bother to gatecrash his Avalon party, and unless someone can see where Wade Frazier is going, don't ruin his choir song with bad notes, and unless you can see where ulli was going with her here and now thread, don't attempt to hijack it.
And if they do, at least find out for themselves why they believe it was necessary, because if they can explain themselves it means they knew what they were doing, and why, in the largest context they could imagine.

I am all ears, and looking forward to hear their version.
Just don't expect to win approval if it doesn't fit in with the overall direction of Avalon.

P.S. one more clarification. I realize that in the past I posted humor and even frivolous stuff that appeared to be light entertainment. This was designed to infuse lightness into the spirit of the core group, and not to reduce the energy to the level of girlie magazines. I now realize my mistake in this. It sent the wrong signals and thus it backfired, big-time.

[araucaria]

Thank you Ulli. I have been busy of late, but I have been wanting to comment on the discussion here over the last few days – nothing substantive, but simply to support the importance of its taking place. Your post gives me a handle to latch onto, although this is still going to be a half-baked post..

I have been held back by the male temptation to respond to attacks on the forum generally, its founder and also a number of prominent members, any collective effort towards a common goal being described as sycophantic. As you point out, the accusation of sycophancy – which we are told can be expressed in such a simple way, believe it or not, as making donations – is an insult to the intelligence of Avalon members and is hardly characteristic of the ‘supporters’ you describe:


people in agreement with one's view, or better still, people who have come to the same vision all on their own, and also realized that only as a united group can anything be accomplished

As to the role of this thread in the overall scheme of things, I see it this way. Simple friendly chatting – leading of course into more substantive discussions – is not only the way forward: it is actually the goal too. So we start by doing that – in a sense, all the rest is literature, i.e. a malleable reflection of this one hard reality. I have no particular detailed vision of what a desirable future would be like, but one thing is certain, everyone engaging in friendly exchanges will be an essential ingredient of it. It may then be surprising to some that this modest aim is not to everyone’s liking; it will be less surprising to realize that this divide operates on masculine vs feminine lines. We are talking about an activity that women do best whereas what men often do best can often be disruptive. It is a position of disarming weakness that becomes apparently threatening when it gains strength, notably in numbers. The fact that the recent disruption was caused by a young woman does not invalidate this idea. On the contrary, her behavior may be seen as reflecting a certain inability to integrate the masculine (and equally the feminine) either externally or internally. Meanwhile males here like myself are working to make that happen both for themselves and for others. This is never easy, which is why it is important as a priority to create a conducive environment for this to happen, as Ulli has done. When this has been made to work, then it will be time enough to investigate what is left of bigger picture substance.

What I forgot to mention, and it does need extra emphasis, is that we are talking about several steps here. The simplest way to describe this is
Step 1--- everyone step into their here and now.
Step 2---everyone observe this here and now (their personal one) and then fit this into the larger context of how they would like to see their personal as well as collective future Here and Now.

Yesterday Facebook surprised me by reposting what I had posted exactly one year ago to the day,
the beginning of our construction of Cabin 1,
which later had Cabin 2 added,
and later still the connecting part between the two.
Later still came our decision to move into those cabins ourselves,
and give up the thought of renting them out to tenants.
That plan was replaced by one of creating a botanical garden.

Our reasoning being that my GP husband would never be at peace after hours,
as simply living in the proximity of a doctor could actually make some people sick,
believe it or not, so that they can then make full use of the opportunity of "doctor in the house".
I learnt the hard way not to fall into that trap again, but many others haven't.
He would therefore always be on call.

I'm sharing all this as an example of how this process works;
of thinking, of planning, of doing, of knowing what one is doing and why.
There are always two principal contexts, ones own 3D security,
and the collective society; IOW, one's role in creating a better society for all.

Mankind was created to carry forward an ever-advancing civilization. ~Baha'u'llah

Handsome uncle Manuel. So sorry for your loss, Dan.

I am now reaching the age where people are disappearing more frequently until in the end there will be more friends on the other is than are left in this world.
My grandfather 's social life other than huge family gatherings on his birthdays, was funerals in the end, as he reached 89.

I am now consciously making friends with younger people so as not to get too deep into loneliness and abandonment states.

This was designed to infuse lightness into the spirit of the core group, and not to reduce the energy to the level of girlie magazines. I now realize my mistake in this. It sent the wrong signals and thus it backfired, big-time.

First, many thanks to Araucaria, your last posts about the forum and the énergies, feminine, masculine, and their use in the overall scheme of things, has made me think over and see the oveall aims of activities in a different light, definitely.

As for what Ulli wrote about in the post above, I found something interesting that may explain why it is important to respect the aims of the forum and how it could so easily be broken. Also, it led to a thinking I had about being taken for a ride, mentally, with our weakest inner non resolve problems.
In other words, what we see here is only the surface. Here is the text, I will explain more of my views right after.

It is from Sheryl Attkinson, the many time award recipient of investigative journalism and a CBS reporter, who is now whistleblowing on her own:


"Astroturf" is the effort on the part of special interests, whether corporate or political, to surreptitiously sway public opinion and make it appear as though it's a grassroots effort for or against a particular agenda, when in reality such a groundswell of public opinion might not exist. Sharyl explains:

"They turn to things like social media – Facebook and Twitter – using pseudonyms and multiple accounts to spread things around. They use their partners who blog for them, write things, and pick up on one another's work until sometimes it's been picked up in the mainstream media as if it's a fact.

It's all intended to make you feel as though if you hold a certain opinion that they don't want you to have, you're the outlier. Everybody else agrees with 'X' except you, and that may not be the truth. This is a huge business... There are actually PR firms that specialize in these sorts of tactics.

Astroturfing is now more important, I am told by lobbyists and PR firms, to many clients than the direct lobbying of Congress because it's so effective to reach out to the public. They may have someone write a letter to the editor and you don't know that person is being paid by a special interest to advance a certain opinion.

They may start as a nonprofit without saying out front that they're behind the nonprofit. The nonprofit may then look like a charity that's advancing a certain opinion, which is actually acting on behalf of the corporate interest or the special interest. Again, it's very widespread..."

Hallmark signs of astroturfing include using key language—words such as crank, crack, nutty, pseudo, conspiracy, and other language that's effective with the public to try to make you dismiss an argument they don't like. Another hallmark of an Astroturf campaign is attacking those who are questioning authority, such as reporters who are exposing the truth, whistleblowers who dare to step forward, and people asking tough questions.http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/04/26/media-obstruction-intimidation-harassment.aspx?e_cid=20150426Z1_SNL_NB_art_1&utm_source=snl&utm_medium=email&utm_content=art1&utm_campaign=20150426Z1_SNL_NB&et_cid=DM75079&et_rid=930409473

Sharyl says that Astroturf is seen as grassroot origins, when in fact it is implanted by government shills specially hired for this.

What could be added is that the grassroot origins may come from regular people, who have some disbalances, emotional, intellectual or spiritual, whose mind is captured to distract, disrupt, destroy, seemingly coming from genuinely good people, but completely used for nefarious purposes.

Of course, these humans will not see how they are being used and are absolutely certain they are right and victims, etc. It is usually worked in, and out, at the astral level (imaginary levels, dream levels, etc).

Often, even their wording has been chosen for them.

I remember once inadvertently giving a message I did not intent to give, was not aware of, until the recipient of the message was litterally spelling it out to me with all of its meanings, which then made me realise it had been implanted somehow.

I started to realise that I had to always ponder, in an analytical cold manner (no emotions) "is that thought really mine?" "are those words really mine"? "is the message carried what I intended"? It takes seconds, but then we can discern what is truly from us, what is from TV and adverts or the web, and what is from even more suspicious sources. But this inner watchdog has to be alert at all times.

Then I realised that whatever our weakness are, they may be used. Weaknesses could be being naturally overly agressiveness for example (I could name forum folks here lol), or loss self confidence as a woman (here too I could name names, including mine at times),weaknesses to be used are very numerous. Whatever is needed for a nefarious purpose will be used to target and destroy what could help others and humanity in their/its growth.

Then I saw that sometimes whole organisations are used in this manner. Monsanto for twarting the human genome, Electricity companies for implementing local energy disturbing EMF signals, or even sometimes forums almost entirely turned into destroying other forums.

And here the same process applies as for the personal process, asking questions: is the forum I am in used for a nefarious purpose? Are those thread or post helping a nefarious purpose or helping a greater human development? Does my natural supporting human behavior get twarted and modified through this forum or does it get to its own truth?

Once again, as for the inner views of my own thoughts, the constant reviewing of forums purposes and my behavior within it has to be reviewed and corrected if need to be. Also, awareness of what is (not what I imagine to be) shall be distributed widely amongst the members.

A great lots of what is happening for human awakening is much more subtle than what is perceive at first glance. Once researched and finally perceive, the least I can personnaly do is to respect every single thing that will help awarenes and awakening.

[RunningDeer]

So here I am, spelling out the obvious again, about the point of it all. And that unless a person can see where Bill is going, don't even bother to gatecrash his Avalon party, and unless someone can see where Wade Frazier is going, don't ruin his choir song with bad notes, and unless you can see where ulli was going with her here and now thread, don't attempt to hijack it.
And if they do, at least find out for themselves why they believe it was necessary, because if they can explain themselves it means they knew what they were doing, and why, in the largest context they could imagine.

Step 2---everyone observe this here and now (their personal one) and then fit this into the larger context of how they would like to see their personal as well as collective future Here and Now.

Here and now…a claustrophobic tightness upon my chest. Heart pounds. Ears ring. Hands shake. Fearful of coloring outside of the lines and being publicly chastised for not following rules.

I find the task a laborious one to fit my here and now (step 1) into the larger context (step 2). The reason is everyone’s perception of the here and now is different. And if they are like me, it changes over the course of the day AND as I experience and learn more.

To fit that into the collective future Here and Now is impossible because there’s no way for me to know what seven billion people want as a collective future unless it is through my personal filters which I guarantee you it will not match up to many.

Solution: I’ll wait to see how others post at the Village to learn more about format. If it's what I believe it to mean then in this here and now my feelings have moved into sadness and loss. The best parts of me will be squashed.

Respectfully,

Paula, are you all still working on that motif? That thread is so quiet now.

[Snowflower]

Gee, I thought the here and now thread was simply for sharing what is happening in each of our heres and nows.

[Roisin]

Oh, my most sincere apologies! I won't do it again. Once again, I'm very, very sorry. I'm not being facetious I simply am relatively new at this forum ... that is compared to the old timers here and sometimes I make mistakes... but I'm learning. :)

Gee, I thought the here and now thread was simply for sharing what is happening in each of our heres and nows.

Yes, it is. Sharing what is happening IN each of our here and nows. Could be happenings, feelings, thoughts, expériences (spiritual and otherwise), discoveries, what is in the here and now.

So, in some ways, Paula is right about not knowing the future, and the overall direction it may take. Because we are building it, here and now. However, the intent is important, as Ulli expressed it so well in earlier posts.

My today here and now were the thoughts I wrote in a previous post. You like it, good. You do not, good. You want to comment, good. As long as the intentions is going with building awareness, consciousness, a home in which to evolve, get supported, and sometimes blasted if totally off one's development, not intents to going against awareness/conciousness and playing what lots of higher up cabal wants.

This is all about the here and now. These are my opinions/views/inspirations, here and now.

While applying for jobs.

I do not understand. What did you do wrong??? I have seen no wrong, but I may be wrong.:confused:

[Roisin]

Lately I've been wrong at everything and in this case I thought snowflower's post was directed at me for posting a message here to Paula when I should have just sent her a PM on that. What next!

lollllll. Dolores Canon would have called it a convoluted mind (she wrote a book called a convoluted universe I think).

Maybe my previous post on asking oneself if our thoughts are truly ours and if what is the intent of anything could be useful.

Have the rest of the day good Roisin.

[ulli]

So here I am, spelling out the obvious again, about the point of it all. And that unless a person can see where Bill is going, don't even bother to gatecrash his Avalon party, and unless someone can see where Wade Frazier is going, don't ruin his choir song with bad notes, and unless you can see where ulli was going with her here and now thread, don't attempt to hijack it.
And if they do, at least find out for themselves why they believe it was necessary, because if they can explain themselves it means they knew what they were doing, and why, in the largest context they could imagine.

I am all ears, and looking forward to hear their version.
Just don't expect to win approval if it doesn't fit in with the overall direction of Avalon.


What I forgot to mention, and it does need extra emphasis, is that we are talking about several steps here. The simplest way to describe this is
Step 1--- everyone step into their here and now.
Step 2---everyone observe this here and now (their personal one) and then fit this into the larger context of how they would like to see their personal as well as collective future Here and Now.

Here and now…a claustrophobic tightness upon my chest. Heart pounds. Ears ring. Hands shake. Fearful of coloring outside of the lines and being publicly chastised for not following rules.

I find the task a laborious one to fit my here and now (step 1) into the larger context (step 2). The reason is everyone’s perception of the here and now is different. And if they are like me, it changes over the course of the day AND as I experience and learn more.

To fit that into the collective future Here and Now is impossible because there’s no way for me to know what seven billion people want as a collective future unless it is through my personal filters which I guarantee you it will not match up to many.

Solution: I’ll wait to see how others post at the Village to learn more about format. If it's what I believe it to mean then in this here and now my feelings have moved into sadness and loss. The best parts of me will be squashed.

Respectfully,
Paula <3

Paula, that's not what I meant, at all.
Your vision of the future does not have to be a guess as to what 7 billion people want.
It has to be YOURS, what YOU want.
YOUR utopian world.
Surely you would leave out the population reduction agenda people,
or the nut cases who want the world to become a wasteland. See people being happy, exploring, some frustrations will always exist.
But surely, no agonies, nor traumas. One without those ridiculous extremes we are seeing today.

You may wish it to look like a forest, or a garden. Or a university campus,...there are so many options.
Each person will have a different vision, and that is then what makes the collective.
But you must bring yours, your own vision, without worry about leaving someone out.

Thanks for further clarification, Ulli. It seems I'm still in literal mind-think. It’ll take a bit to get a handle on this approach.

You see, my vision is in flux and it grows and shrinks as much as I do. But know that I’ll respect the format of here and now. Leave the past in the past and share insights toward potential vision(s).

@Paula. Don't be too hard on yourself. Interesting about your visions being in flux.
Mine are, too. And how many times have I proudly shown people half-finished necklaces
thinking they would be able to visualize the finished product.

But I am learning. People are asking me for pictures of my new garden and I am finally holding back, even though I can already see the future lushness.

The plants are still so tiny that all one can see in the photos is the brown dirt.

Gee, I thought the here and now thread was simply for sharing what is happening in each of our heres and nows.

Is it really that simple? No choices?

[Sierra]

Because I sincerely feel that Marianne's leaving, (caused by someone who had no idea what this forum was about, yet even managed to collect a number of supporters, and even enablers) has hurt this forum as a whole.

Which is why I am now sharing my thoughts, and my wish that people here reevaluate for themselves the purpose of Bill's vision, (backed up by his team of moderators) and the place this forum occupies in the context of the science/political/mystical world at large.

Why are we here now?

And when a person finds the answer then the next realization is that alone one can achieve nothing, no matter how bright one's light. There have to be supporters; people in agreement with one's view, or better still, people who have come to the same vision all on their own, and also realized that only as a united group can anything be accomplished.

P.S. one more clarification. I realize that in the past I posted humor and even frivolous stuff that appeared to be light entertainment. This was designed to infuse lightness into the spirit of the core group, and not to reduce the energy to the level of girlie magazines. I now realize my mistake in this. It sent the wrong signals and thus it backfired, big-time.

I'm not so sure humor is where the backfire took place.

Predator, aggressor, guru, prey, victim, follower, these are destructive patterns to a group. They play off the group, not just the target. All of them want loyalists for the inevitable conflict. Divide and conquer.

Watching Graham Norton, he had women only on the couch, three actors. During a discussion of a movie, "Far from the Madding Crowd", it was pointed out the three suitors in the movie approached the female very differently, and which would they have chosen in the real world? One said, "You know s'funny, I'd go for the guy who has already aged, because you know what you're getting."

We did not know what we were getting, did we? We assumed the lady in question was an adult.

Ulli, if this thread had been dead serious all the time, either the lady would have behaved just the same or never come here in the first place, but that would be a sad solution.

I think a better answer than giving up the love and humor, is what we eventually did, sent her on her way.

And I don't see any way out of that kind of solution, and it is a balancing act. What do we risk losing if we don't respond? Marianne and Ulli? The H&N thread? The Village miracles?

Mars Mercury energy promoting blunt speaking in the last week or so.

Nora, was that ever right on.

Sierra

Well, the world is running out of the ability to be a place for hard lessons and the hard learners are in the middle of shoving off. As the population and the technology both advance, we reach a threshold of moving back, to keep this earth as a place for hard lessons, but that means technological loss. to retreat technologically and in population. to move forward is to lose the ability to do these incredibly valuable 'hard things'.

To move forward is to move more toward being a powder puff planet.

To get to the powder puff stage is a long path and the design is to hit every pothole on the road and hit every tree branch, and nearly slide off every corner, in completely horrible weather.

Powder puff planets are nice but the lack of drama is horribly boring. Nothing gets learned anymore. Experiences have no range, no scope, no extremes. Powder puff planets are a nice place to visit but they are ultimately boring and I would not want to permanently live there.

We all want it, a break from the stress, a relief from the stress, please, god, yes... But once you've got the relief, you've got..........nothing. Agitation and range of agitation, scope of agitation. Everything else is motion toward death.

It's a hard thing to come to an understanding of, a horrible thing to understand... but ...there it is.

This planet is at it's current breaking point so it is going to have to be given a break. We shall see how it works out.

A bunch of the agitators have been useful and have done good work, in helping enlighten others via illustrating pressure and range in polarity, but they are naturally...also behind on their, er, coming to understanding.

Those ones will be given a choice on what to do next.

[ulli]

Powder puff planet? Never in a million years. Not with all those micro climates, different altitudes, and also people's different attitudes.

Anyway, having moved from a life of too much stress to one of too little stress, and then back and forth a few more times I still like the balance point best. Because that's where I can contemplate the value of conscious boredom, which is in itself a crescendo of drama if you know just how to look. A Petshop Boys song comes to mind.

Here is a quote that came to mind this morning! Reminds me of the beautiful women on the Here and Now Thread.

"The Women Whom I love and admire for their strength and grace did not get that way because **** worked out. They got that way because **** went wrong, and they handled it. They handled it in a thousand different ways on a thousand different days, but they handled it. Those women are my superheros!"

Film shows why you should NEVER give a monkey the middle finger


The vengeful primate is clearly ruffled by the rude gesture as it pounces on the man and knocks him to the floor with a swift dropkick to the face

Ever wondered what would happen if you showed a monkey the middle finger?

Surely, they wouldn't understand the sentiment behind the gesture, right? Wrong.

And this clip shows how one man had to learn that lesson the hard way.

In the footage, the pedestrian is walking past the monkey when he appears to stick up his middle finger.

But the creature isn't about to take that sort of insult lying down and jumps down from the fence onto the man's face.

irz8w8oQcBE


The man immediately falls to the floor from the impact of the creature's attack - the monkey realises his work is done and hops back onto the fence where he was originally sitting.

According to information alongside the footage, the incident occurred in Shimla, the capital city of Himachal Pradesh, located in Northern India.

Since it was uploaded to YouTube in April 23, the clip has gone viral with more than 288,800 views.

It is not clear whether the man was injured by the monkey's attack.

Here and Now, I am here.

29622

In my head, I am inside. It is chilly outside, but the warmth of the fire is homey. Not only that, but I hear the pops and crackles. And I smell dinner cooking on the stove, I choose...chili. I do love chili. It takes a fair amount of chopping, but since it is already on the stove I don't have to think about the chopping. That would already be done. And...Isis sits on my lap. No, actually, I think I have that cream colored blanket on my lap. The one I started to crochet a year ago. I like the pretty stitch I found to try. Isis lays on my feet. And...there is some soft music playing. I think...someone is tickling the ivories today.

My children and grandchildren are so peaceful. They are strong, and know who they are. They are independent. And they care deeply for each other. They have all found what makes them content in life. And though hard times ebb and flow, they know a peace that keeps them centered.

Ahhhhhh.

I do love hot cocoa, too. I love that sinful scoop of marshmallow cream on the top sometimes. When this cup is empty, even that last lukewarm drop at the bottom, I won't have a single dish to wash. 'Tis the way with fantasy.

Okay, wherever that exists...I guess I had better get back to this here and now. But I did really enjoy that. Thanks.

Much Love,

That information about CERN is my turning point! It changes my state of being (related to Anunnaki/Cabal/TPTB) from: Yes, I know what's going on. The facts are on the table. It's logic. The researchers are trustable for so many reasons. Look at their foes. The puzzle is perfect etc. (but personally I'm not directly affected to a state where every cell of my body cries out, is alarmed and indeed affected deeply. I will not be able to look at things from a distance as I did before.

And returning once more to an appearently inevitable issue ( at least on every day life – level ): Often, when I come across a post and I don't know the writer being male or female my reactions are quite interesting. But whenever it comes to dishwashing and doing the laundry, you bet the writer is female (up to 98 %) ! LOL. Okay, now I'm going to clean up the kitchen. Husband cooked a (btw excellent and vegan) meal yesterday.

I made a mushrooms soup yesterday, completely home made - I had bought a mix of delicious different kinds of dried mushrooms in a big jar. Everybody liked it (Mini, her boyfriend, the boy I keep during the week, me).

Cooking dinner right now, the rest of the soup will be serve too.

Your mushrooms look reaaaalllly good. I would definitely use them if you were to sell them to me as Paula posted idea.


I'd prefer to invite all the Village to eat the mushrooms if it were possible. Sometimes Time and Space rules ruin all the fun :P

Finally we boiled and canned the mushrooms so we can keep them much longer.
Now the substratum is as it was at the beginning, I guess I need to wait for about a week for the next mushrooms to grow :flower:


Peace, villagers :)

Oh forgot to mention, last Sunday we went to the mountains to say goodbye to my aunt. We planted two little trees with part of her remains mixed with soil, symbolizing the death and rebirth cycle.

Gee, I thought the here and now thread was simply for sharing what is happening in each of our heres and nows.
And so it is, Snowflower. But if everyone literally stuck to that, you would have a visitors’ book-type anthology of pretty unconnected comments with no friction, either positive or negative, taking place between them. And in any case, it wouldn’t even be a literal interpretation since ultimately we share the same here and now of reading this thread and typing our posts, so interaction is actually more immediate than other things that are happening. There is a difference for example between Ulli gardening and her telling us about it – for starters, she has to come in and wash her hands. So technically, the actual posting is something not quite here and not quite now, except to the degree that it is self-referential. We are talking about the difference between open-air painting and studio painting. While you do find the occasional open-air painting such as the other day when Nora was out in nature with her laptop, others like me will be working from a desktop, where the only thing happening apart from reading and writing is possibly someone poking their head round the door. But even open-air painting does not have the immediacy that simply sitting out has, or planting flowers and picking out weeds. It is fingers-on-plastic communication with the outside world – both Ulli’s Step 2 and Carmody’s technology that we may have to give up.

I was going to take this post further, but I can’t seem to gather my thoughts properly, so will stop right here (and now).

[RunningDeer]

And so it is, Snowflower. But if everyone literally stuck to that, you would have a visitors’ book-type anthology of pretty unconnected comments with no friction, either positive or negative, taking place between them.

Part One: Unconnected Comments

For me, I view it as the Village diary that gets updated as folks care to share. There’s alway connection. Even after the post is read that support extends on. There’s an unspoken support that we all give to one another.

There are times when I just want to share plain old things which brought me joy that day. And I enjoy when others share in their adventures and family going ons. By being present in their story, I’m connected and don’t need a complex exchange of posts.

There’s a natural flow in the Village where those that prefer to engage do and others that want to drop in to say hello or share in their good news, can and do. That’s what makes this thread a one-of-a-kind.


Part Two: Share Future Goals/Intentions

For me personally, I don’t want to share my future. As mentioned, it gets tweaked the more I learn about myself and the workings of the world and it’s mysteries.

Another reason is that it took me most of my life to give myself permission to be spontaneous and present. I bought into the long term planning. I’ve forever lost those moments with loved ones by expending energy on futures that 90% of it didn't and will never happen.

I look back and see that most of the planning was out of fear of poverty, death, loss and being alone. Well, I’m here to say I still thrive, live in joy, discovery and flipped it to where 98-100% of my days are fulfilled even without long term plans. Though, I’d not give that advice to anyone. There’s something to be said for practicality and planning as you go along. Guess you can say that for now, I’m making up for lost time. I’m on an extended holiday.

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/28/cinema-seven-soviet-sci-fi-films

I saw Solaris and The Stalker, and loved both. That was back in the seventies when I still enjoyed a slow movie.
I wonder what happened, that my attention span has dropped so badly. Can't watch movies longer than three minutes, if that. For the last ten years I have this sense of urgency, and only when amongst my plants do I enter into a sense of timelessness. Sometimes this bothers me, as I don't know anyone else who does this.

[Carmody]

Everyone has their form of meditation. I know someone who does this, another Capricorn, in this case.

[Selkie]

...when I still enjoyed a slow movie. I wonder what happened, that my attention span has dropped so badly...

If I might hazard a guess, it might be the movies, themselves, which have affected you, because if you watch you will see that movies now-a-days are made up of very short shots...sometimes the shots are less than one second long...and the stories move at a frantic pace. So to rebuild your attention span, you might try watching slow, old movies. The kind with long shots and slow stories.

Just a thought.

p.s. When I was watching a movie recently, I actually counted the seconds that the shots remained on-screen. Not one of them was more than 3 seconds long.

If I might hazard a guess, it might be the movies, themselves, which have affected you, because if you watch you will see that movies now-a-days are made up of very short shots...sometimes the shots are less than one second long...and the stories move at a frantic pace. So to rebuild your attention span, you might try watching slow, old movies. The kind with long shots and slow stories.

Just a thought.

p.s. When I was watching a movie recently, I actually counted the seconds that the shots remained on-screen. Not one of them was more than 3 seconds long.

I worked with a screen writer for a few months in 2005 as he needed astrology knowledge for the lines of a character in his screen play. Since he knew that I had once been a knitwear designer he told me that creating a movie is no different...different stitches together make up the whole garment and a movie has about 4000 stitches. You simply write what the camera sees and hears. You gear to the target audience...so all is formula. There is ultimately only one movie.

And the jumping from scene to scene is done because the audience of today has a short attention span.

So knowing this means I can't subject myself to this kind of manipulation any longer; the way I used to when I enjoyed directors like Kubrick, who made some of the slowest movies on record...2001-A Space Odyssey.
Kubrick, Scorpio, and arch manipulator. (In the best sense)

There is just so much I want to do these days and just not enough time.
Avalon is important to me, but there are other things, in my 3D world.
By the way, where have you been Silkie? Been missing seeing that black panther avatar.
The older Villagers may remember that I also once presented myself here as a black panther...the kitten as well as the adult one.

Some directors detest that sort of speed editing.

For example, one of the longer single unbroken shots on a 'normal' modern film:

http://www.steadishots.org/shots_detail.cfm?shotID=194

Note that all the good stuff has been removed from yootoob over the years. 90% of the stuff I'd like to go to yootoob for, is gone. I had to go to elsewhere for this shot, and it used to have multiple versions of it on yootoob. Now they (people) have to use a cell phone to put the image up, to try and sneak past the flagging software system that I suspect that yootoob uses.

ps: I am of the opinion that Firefly was cancelled as it was in the position of teaching the general population, the younger set, the idea and reality of planned organized rebellion and what they are to be rebelling against. It pushed the seeds of it into their minds.

It was steered into the ditch and Joss Whedon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joss_Whedon) was re-tasked into the support and display of 'superheroes/saviors/gods', which is a far more malleable victim's position to push into the public. Better for an oligarchy who might be the real secret force behind the decision making machines in question.

[Selkie]

...And the jumping from scene to scene is done because the audience of today has a short attention span...

Yes, and what I am saying is that people's attention spans have shortened because they started making movies with shorter scenes and faster stories. They started to make movies with shorter scenes and faster stories, and peoples' brains adjusted. If you look at it the other way around, you have the cart before the horse.

An example of the long scenes I am talking about is Once Upon a Time in the West.

p.s. I sort of think the trend toward very short scenes with very fast-paced stories got its start with MTV and music videos.

I did not say that speed editing is bad, only that it might be affecting people's attention span without them even being aware of it, and that it seems to me that it got its start with those fast cut, kinetic music videos (which I love, btw). If that is what people really like and want, that is fine. But if what they like and want is being manipulated...which seems to be the case, or we would not call them "sheeple"...then maybe folks ought to start consciously evaluating how these fast cut movies are affecting them in terms of attention span. Do we really want these fast cut, fast paced movies? Why are there so few slow-paced, long shot movies out there anymore? Is it because people really want fast cut, frenetic movies, or is it simply what they have been conditioned to...conditioned to produce as well as conditioned to want and like?

There are always numerous factors at work to bring a culture about, in my view.
If one looks at the art world...how did it move from impressionism to expressionism and then become more and more abstract? The coming together of art dealers, art critics, status seekers, avant guardists, social climbers, investors, and finally mass media, where it got diluted further into the fashion design world, furniture, architecture.
One can then even relate these movements to planetary influences. Endless. If one can define sheeple as people of low self esteem and their possessions give them a feeling of status, and their associations with either elitist influences or their opposite revolutionary ones...both sides might be offered to maintain the dynamic at work, but within a limited spectrum.
But even the cleverest elitist schemes don't always work out, and in the movie industry there are endless shipwrecks of broken dreams because the public rejected what they offered. Even some Spielberg movies bombed, despite mass media hyping. Nothing is certain with that many factors.

[RunningDeer]

Can't watch movies longer than three minutes, if that. For the last ten years I have this sense of urgency, and only when amongst my plants do I enter into a sense of timelessness. Sometimes this bothers me, as I don't know anyone else who does this.

The last time I went to a movie theater was to see the Matrix series. The convenience of iTunes fits my lifestyle and attention span. Sometimes it takes me three to four hours to watch a two hour movie because I have to stop it even if it’s a good one. Or I'll fast forward through parts like the car and fight scenes. (Shhh. Twenty minutes into the movie I've been known to fast forward to the end because I don't want to invest lots of time into a drawn out movie.)

And then there are those times where it takes two days to watch one movie. It's because I'm on to other things or I'm in the middle of listening to other YouTube vids that I've downloaded so I can fast forward through them. The only time I sit and watch a movie from start to finish is when I need to dial down the life-think. In which case, I'll watch two or two and half movies.

There’s a sense of urgency to figure things out, like to have enough information in case the lights go out and to be of assistance to others. Now I fast forward through the price of gold and skip most of the false flags because I know there’s another around the corner should I become board with life that’s moving at warp speed.

I woke up this morning with the question, why'd I purchase two more books one of which is "The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric"? "Read them," I remind. I want to be sure that I'm balancing 'it' all out. Hope it's interesting enough to break the attention span barrier.

Like you, nature grounds me. And when I go off to sleep I listen to nature sounds. When I can’t sleep rather than books, I use that time to listen to more nature and I practice feeling whole body energetics right down to cellular levels where all subtly vibrates. That’s where the miracle is.

I tap into the whole-body frequency (not separate chakras) where I’m unlocking everything I need to know, to regenerate and in time, to assist others. It’s done throughout the day and night. I may only have the attention span for 30 seconds. But it reinforces it enough to continue. Now, I notice that before I think to do it, it’s happening. Chicken or the egg? Doesn’t matter. It’s switched/switching on. Like it’ll be for us all.

Mine was just a comment in reflection of a condition, nothing more; a note of the moment in currency flow of society in the given time. I'm ambivalent to it. The cranial shifting/moving aspects are most certainly there and noted.

The world is too big, the box is too small. No amount of fretted fitting will make it work. One has to move to a condition of distancing, so that outside of the frenzied rush...perspective can be reunited with reason.

Age 20, a year is 1/20th of a life
Age 30, a year is 1/30th of a life
Age 60, a year is 1/60th of a life

So yes, attempts at frenzied ineffectual fitting of insane pace/rate of flow... is the norm for the young..... and the thing to ignore and walk away from in later years. Of course, this depends upon the idea of a group of humans having a defined lifespan, in a societal and cultural context as we generally hold it to be, today.

I realized this mindset earlier on and tried to start early, to find what the different thinking and being would bring to me. To developmentally race ahead, so to speak. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.

Those movies and music videos are not just fast cut and fast paced; they are fragmented and broken up, and a broken up, fragmented reality is a feature of trauma. It is pretty clear that the PTB are subjecting us all to trauma-based mental conditioning pretty much all the time. I wonder if these fast cut, fragmented movies and videos are from that, at least in part?

[Carmody]

IMO, one reflects the other.

If I was presumptuous and self centered, I'd say that the seeds I work at planting are eventually found in culture and society everywhere. A slow bleed in. It's all about product placement.

Just another meerkat on extended guard duty.

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

As for this shift in attention, time flow and psychological capacities and attention span, etc..if looked at from the correct angle.... it can be seen that our lifespans are artificially shortened, as the full correct and actual lifespan for this avatar...would take advantage of the method and path of psychological development. Everything would dovetail perfectly, yet.... IT DOES NOT.

Which is indicative of a mutant of a sort. A genetic shift. In this case, a severe shortening of the lifespan of the biological carrier, so that it never truly reaches maturity in form and function.

yet the situation plays out in a sort of reverse, a perversion.

Like I said elsewhere: Broiler chicken. Abomination.

somewhere where villagers can (and have often) returned to for healing, rest and recovery.

now?

yes ... here and now is a big part.


This has become a unique space ... now a few years long in the tooth.


Many have come and visited ... many have chosen to stay ... many have come back when they feel the need for support.


This is the space ulli has built.


... and that is exactly why this thread has lived and thrived.

My iPad is no longer charging. Down to 10% and I'm feeling a bit panicky.
That full moon must be hitting me early.

The guy at the tech shop here in Cartago just told me that it was caused by a damaged and frequently overheating battery.
Correct, as it wouldn't hold the charge for more than 2 hours at most.
It would cost me nearly $200 to get it fixed.
I decided not worth it, I will get a new iPad. Now I am worried about the data.
Most of it is on iCloud, but I can't find my astrology app, called Kiron, and which has several hundred charts stored on it.
I'm writing this on my MacBookAir, and when I open the iCloud icon I can't see anything that resembles Kiron.
Does anyone have experience with iCloud?

OMG, it is charging! It is charging!!!! I can't believe it!
I turned on the iPad just one more time...in order to get the data from my most important charts,
and saw that the program is called Kairon, not Kiron.

And then I thought I would plug in the cable just one more time...
since I had nothing to lose. After having gone to the tech place in town, and he couldn't do a thing....

and now I mentioned the issue Here and Now....and everything is back to NORMAL!!!
Incredible!! How did you do it?

I've never used iCloud. I googled Kiron and got Kairon+Mac+Astrology. Suggestion: Look for Kairon rather than Kiron. If it's listed alphabetically that may be the reason.

Suggestions and did you knows?

You may want to make sure your MacBookAir is all charged up too if you don't use it often enough. If it sits too long it takes a bit to get it going again.

Problem solved...but if theres a next time, a nonsensical trouble shoot suggestion, try to recharge your iPad through your MacBookAir. Trick the little sucker. It worked with my nano(s) and iPod(s).

When you get a new Mac, you'll still have access to your uploaded files from your other computer. That's if it's like iTunes music and movies. You are allowed to access with your new computer AND from your other MacBookAir. You might want to check this through your MacBookAir and Apple account.

I don’t use the iCloud for three reasons: 1)snooper agencies 2)if the grid goes down you don’t have access to your files 3) no monthly fee . Instead, I back-up everything on “laptop external portable storage drives”. Beyond the initial investment there's no monthly fees to iCloud once that free amount is used up. The two external back-up drives I use are:WD SmartWare (http://store.westerndigital.com/store/wdus/en_US/compare/ThemeID.21986300/parentCategoryID.13092300/categoryID.55288100/External_Hard_Drives/Portable_for_Mac) & Seagate (http://www.seagate.com/products/laptop-mobile-storage/laptop-external-drives/). They are both sold at the box stores.

To be honest, I haven't figured it out yet. But I have had similar experiences in the past, that I see that a particular planetary angle is coming up in the near future, and that it will affect my chart. So then I worry, and speculate, and then I fight those worries, knowing that negative thinking can only make matters worse. This is how I discovered the power of beliefs. This is why I no longer check the ephemeris in advance, knowing that my fears will get triggered.
How many times when doing a reading with a client did I go OMG, not because of what I saw for them, but what was coming up for me.
Over the years I did manage to get to know my inner states quite well, and know how they shift, dependent on what was going on planetary-wise, but also due to my own speculations in anticipating.
Self fulfilling prophecy is an important factor, and addresses the level above planetary influences.
Getting above, or rising above the planets is our goal here, and ends victim/ predator consciousness, but it is still quite hair raising.
The first thing that ascends in the ascension process is our hair, apparently.

I hope it is appropriate to post this in Ulli's "here and now, what's happening". A friend sent me this; otherwise, I would not have been aware that "ForbiddenKnowledgeTV" now falls under the heading "Non-Violent Terrorism".
This is from: http://www.forbiddenknowledgetv.com/about.html


Emergency: Please Donate to ForbiddenKnowledgeTV!

When PM David Cameron Addressed the UN in November 2014, he called for the formation of a committee to manage so-called "non-violent terrorists" - primarily on the Internet. I find it shocking and absurd that my educational website appears to have fallen under this category.

It's spooky. My advertising service won't speak to me, despite this site's popularity and the amount of income that I've generated for them over the years. This site used to bring in a LOT of money, with half of the amount of subscribers that it has today. And it's about to get worse.

Not satisfied with reducing the 4th Estate, (the news media) into little more than propaganda arms for the world's governments, the global oligarchy also wish to turn the Alternative Media into a never-ending slew of vapid bunk, which does nothing to open our minds to alternative thinking and towards inspiring us into making this a better world.

The imminent deployment of Google's Knowledge Vault, an Artificial Intelligence program, which is allegedly using Wikipedia and the CIA World Factbook as its primary source material (and doubtless government propaganda, which, itself was formally legalized in Obama's last update of the NDAA) will gravely impact all Alternative News sites, including FKTV.

Google search rankings will no longer be based on popularity but on an Orwellian, Artificial Intelligence-based "truthiness."

The content on FKTV often deviates substantially from "truthiness."

For nearly 5 years, we have striven to keep this service free for all - but must now ask for voluntary donations from the viewers who enjoy this site.

Please click on the donation button below, which offers many different payment options and donate an amount that you feel comfortable with, whenever you can. You do not need to have a PayPal account to donate, via this button.

If you do not have a PayPal account, look toward the bottom left of the page that opens up, after you click on the button below, to follow those options:

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! Over the past month, since this crisis became fully evident and was publicly announced, I've been intensely moved to receive the many kind, loving and apppreciative letters - and checks. It makes me feel like I haven't wasted the past 5 years of my life. Thousands of people have chipped in, via PayPal or by check to ensure that I can pay the bills, while I pick up the pieces of a malicious and mysterious hit against my business.

Although many viewers have clearly expressed a willingness to pay a fee for this service, my ultimate goal would be to restore this to a free service. It was so much nicer that way.

I'm working on a longterm solution, to keep this site going - and to keep me off the street, because this site has quite literally been me, for the past 5 years. I'll be meeting with several entrepreneurs who have contacted me, lately.

The operation will have to expand beyond just myself...and the truth is, I can't keep doing everything by myself. I need a life, too. We'll just get there, one step at a time.

As soon as I've come up with a new system that covers the bills, this notice and this plea will be taken down. I could never possibly adequately thank all of you, who have chipped in so far!
