Here and Now...What's Happening?

[meeradas]

Watching this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067633/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl) 1971 movie (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xms94x_punishment-park_shortfilms). 1971.
Obviously, it [still] has its fans in certain circles.

This one is a painterly version of ulli conjuring up The Village within an illuminated globe of light. :) Her avatar for this forum is the inspiration for this one.

This is a work in progress... still have to work on the The Village in the bubble. Also am working on other concepts for this motif.

Wow, FABULOUS! You KNEW I was going to like this one. How could I NOT??

When you work on the Village, I would like to see greenery, cottages rather than multi-storey houses,
and slightly bigger windows.
Birds in the sky and a cat, or even a leopard/cheetah, if possible.
Hope I'm not asking too much.
But really, well DONE!!!

I like that one too. :)

And we're on a bay of the sea... Or a large lake. Three mountains, homes of wizards, one abandoned... Er available to a Village shaman etc.

Lovely for Ulli; but not for a Village. The reason I say this is that no matter how benevolent and saintly Ulli looks, it still will appear that Ulli is above us all, the one-and-only master caretaker or even creator. The only way I can see people in the image would be small human figures like in a classical Chinese landscape painting.

(Just an opinion.)

If you disagree, and if the image is to be dominated by a character, and using the spherical theme for the village setting, then maybe Ulli as a child (or a child, representing Ulli's "inner child") wide-eyed, smiling or laughing with 2 hands open beneath the sphere (but not touching it) so it could appear that the playful child is just beginning to toss the sphere up or as if the child was just about to catch the sphere. Might be fun to then copy that image, mirror it horizontally, and resize it down to where it fit inside the sphere as one of the villagers. (Thus the child is both inside and outside of the village simultaneously, facing herself, with no way to tell if it is a reflection or a projection.)

(No, I'm not indulging in mind-altering substances :bigsmile: - just sleepy and ready to float to bed.)

I am truly confused:confused::confused::confused::confused:

Ain't she a saint, above, high up there??? :p

Literally, in her mountain? Plus a good caretaker?

Well, maybe I have too much admiration then!! hum....

[Jean-Marie]

Ulli is wise! I like Ulli the way she is!

[ulli]

You all are too kind. And I never thought of her as Ulli at all.
I thought she was the Gaia spirit, and that my avatar had just been the inspiration.

I'm too busy at the moment with my projects to be a good caretaker of the Village.
Getting a truckload of construction materials early in the morning, starting the foundation for an additional master bedroom, and are halfway with building a bigger greenhouse. The one I bought last week is already too small.
Meanwhile husband is away, traveling. Medical seminar in the U.S. So all this organizing has to be dome by me, myself, and I.

Here is the blue and white greenhouse I bought last week

Using the descriptors above, we're all good caretakers and wise. We do it in our unique ways.

Maybe I misunderstood Roisen's art - it appeared to deify Ulli to me, and though, yes, Ulli is a goddess, she's a goddess among goddesses and gods and I didn't think she'd want to be depicted as "lording over" the village. Ulli saw the figure as Gaia-like, and maybe that was Roisen's intent - and I missed it. Still, even if it is Gaia or Gaia-like, I don't visualize Gaia in human form (humans are the most destructive aspect of Gaia.) The graphic is dominated by the (beatific/saintly/Madonna-esque) human figure.

Roisen's a talented graphic artist, and has her own vision - I probably should have kept my mouth shut.

By all means keep it flowing, Dennis. The only risk around here is that we each reveal ourselves, or where we are in our here and now, for all the world to see.

And since all perceptions count, as part of a process which leads an individual towards a better understanding who they are and how they see stuff, you might just honor your own for what it is, and then use it, to see what you as a soul can learn from the temporary Dennis person, and his way of perceiving women in general and Gaia and all humans and their destructiveness in particular.
The basic Aries issue is that they tend to play the feudal overlord a lot, and have fun doing so.
And they love a challenger to come forth and give them a chance to demonstrate their strength.
So when unchecked they will always be returning to the archetypal maleness of Aries which demands that women need to be protected, mainly from invaders who need to be fought off. If successful they get the prize, the princess.

This is a simple scenario which can only backfire when the princess later turns into a dominatrix old crone.
Now life becomes more complicated and the aging warrior Aries needs to reinvent himself, totally.
And the answer is always back to basics; clean slate. Start over where all abide by the same rules,
whee the grassroots rule.
I bet now you really wish you had kept your mouth shut.... ;)


here is a perception I came up with after some reflection ...the woman is not lording over anything.
She is sitting at a table, with a crystal ball, across from the viewer,
and together they dialogue about the vision revealed inside the crystal ball.
And together they see community, an ideal Village community,
with cottages giving private space to the individuals or families,
and a few common buildings where they can collectively unite with all the others.
The common buildings could be a park, a place of worship, or meditation,
a place for recreation/ sports activity, a school, a government building,
a hospital, a post office, a police station. And maybe even a shopping mall.

P.S. How telling...I forgot movie theater, shooting range, tennis club, golf course, prison and eateries.

A character on the TV show "Blackish", said in response to a compliment on the taste of their wild boar bacon, "Hand slaughtered. It's the fear that makes it taste so delicious."

...

I keep seeing inside jokes in scripts these days.

Awesome Auracaria. :)

Mikelodium, I can't believe how well you are doing. So happy for you. :)

My great-grandmother would talk to me about growing up in the wild Mississippi countryside in the first decades of the 1900s. The thrill of seeing a car for the first time and the arduous work of subsistence living and animal husbandry. She said that when they slaughtered a goat, they would have to sneak up on it and club it without the goat having any idea it was coming. She said they if the goat was frightened it would ruin the meat, and make it taste bitter. The fear would turn it bad. That always struck me. I guess it might differ by the animal. Who knows....I've never slaughtered my own food.

The transportation of cattle alone to those slaughterhouses of Chicago would soak the beef in adrenaline juices.
Yum.

[Carmody]

Sometimes we wonder if that is the whole idea behind Kosher and Halal.

The other side of the equation is the idea that the animal will know it is dead and not be an energy that hangs about.

I will say what I've said before, that depending on my level of awareness at the given time, the meat can sometimes give me a full picture of the moments that surround the animal's state of mind before - and through the given death. That I absorb and live the emotions and turmoil of the energy that they suffered through.

Given the meaning of my name and what it is about..... this is not unexpected.

The whole modern and ancient complex meaning is: King of the Scots, king of the Jews, blood of old/dead, sorcerer reborn, occupier of the dead, the one who shelters the doorway which all must pass to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Horrible.
ewee made my stomach do a flipflop too Ull.

A friend of mine came over recently to visit. I served coffee with organic, raw-unpasteurized milk from free range cows. She said she was lactose intolerant and the milk would upset her stomach. But said she'd try it anyway. Well it didn't upset her stomach. She asked me what kind of milk do you buy? So I told her, she replied you're kidding....
No, I said the milk is from happy cows.

and I can't eat or drink anything that is pasteurized either. I kept getting sick and would breakout in red blotches on my skin. Thought it must be something I'm eating so I cut out all pasteurized foods and juices even if organic and only ate and drank juices that were unpasteurized or juiced my own. I stopped getting sick and the red blotches went away.

This song "Mercy Now" of Mary Gauthier is timeless.

My dad is on the brink of passing over (96).
My brother and someone else, who is very dear to me, are going through a rough time.

Well, "Every single one of us could use some mercy now".

-

My father could use a little mercy now
The fruits of his labor fall and rot slowly on the ground
His work is almost over it won't be long, he won't be around
I love my father, he could use some mercy now

My brother could use a little mercy now
He's a stranger to freedom, he's shackled to his fear and his doubt
The pain that he lives in it's almost more than living will allow
I love my bother, he could use some mercy now

My church and my country could use a little mercy now
As they sink into a poisoned pit it's going to take forever to climb out
They carry the weight of the faithful who follow them down
I love my church and country, they could use some mercy now

Every living thing could use a little mercy now
Only the hand of grace can end the race towards another mushroom cloud
People in power, they'll do anything to keep their crown
I love life and life itself could use some mercy now

Yeah, we all could use a little mercy now
I know we don't deserve it but we need it anyhow
We hang in the balance dangle 'tween hell and hallowed ground
And every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now
Every single one of us could use some mercy now

-

Mike Farris's cover of Mercy Now really touches me.

From an interview with Nicola Tesla:
"Tesla: Yes, these are some of my most important discoveries. I’m a defeated man. I have not accomplished the greatest thing I could.

Journalist: What is it, Mr. Tesla?

Tesla: I wanted to illuminate the whole earth. There is enough electricity to become a second sun. Light would appear around the equator, as a ring around Saturn.

Mankind is not ready for the great and good. In Colorado Springs I soaked the earth by electricity. Also we can water the other energies, such as positive mental energy. They are in the music of Bach or Mozart, or in the verses of great poets. In the Earth’s interior, there are energy of Joy, Peace and Love. Their expressions are a flower that grows from the Earth, the food we get out of her and everything that makes man’s homeland. I’ve spent years looking for the way that this energy could influence people. The beauty and the scent of roses can be used as a medicine and the sun rays as a food.

Life has an infinite number of forms, and the duty of scientists is to find them in every form of matter. Three things are essential in this. All that I do is a search for them. I know I will not find them, but I will not give up on them."

Thinking of you, Heyoka. Uranus square sun, which we both share this month....having the same birthday, nearly.
Uranus brings major corrections in life, shifts, adjustments which are overdue.

I still don't know what mine will be.
My parents both are long gone.....
Yet they are still here. Especially my mother...we made a pact before she died, to give me signs of her survival.
There were many, right after her passing. Uncanny.

Thank you Ulli, this is pure poetry........


"I am part of a light, and it is the music. The light fills my six senses, I see it, hear, feel, touch, think, thinking of it means my sixth sense.

Particles of light are written note. A bolt of lightning can be an entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightning is a concert.

Numbers and equations are signs that mark the music of the spheres.
These sounds are the messages to the mind that life has meaning, that the Universe exists in perfect harmony, and it's beauty is the cause and effect of creation.
This music is the eternal cycle of stellar heavens. The smallest star has completed composition and also part of the celestial symphony. "

This could be the village motto, maybe? Love it.


Welcome home, Marianne!!!!!!!

Ulli, those little blue flowers look like grape hyacinths. In New Hampshire, I had them planted around a white birch tree with true red tulips. Was just remembering them yesterday.

Bluegreen, your love of music shows. Motown/the Supremes are some of my favorites. Thanks.

1inMany, my heart to yours.

Thanks to you all for the loving welcome.

A friend of mine came over recently to visit. I served coffee with organic, raw-unpasteurized milk from free range cows. She said she was lactose intolerant and the milk would upset her stomach. But said she'd try it anyway. Well it didn't upset her stomach. She asked me what kind of milk do you buy? So I told her, she replied you're kidding....
No, I said the milk is from happy cows.
What a legacy Louis Pasteur left - vaccines and pasteurization :).

I am presently at Flashlight house, in the USA, and we went to the burrial of her husband yesterday. She lost him last November but the ground was too frozen to burry him, so he stayed in a fridge all winter. Mini Flash is with me because she has known both since her birth.

It was quite emotional. The sailors where there playing trumpet since he was a veteran, and my friend got the USA flag given to her. Then each of us told something about her husband that we appreciated or things we have done with him. Mini Flash started the telling, she has guts.

Today we rested most of the day, then went to shop at Macy's and we all bought some jewelry and Mini also bought some shoes. So everybody is happy. Women + emotions = shopping! lollllllll (retail therapy as Flashlight says)

Tonight Flashlight (my friend) brought us to eat in a nice restaurant (she knows her environment) but on my invite.

We are returning to Montréal tomorrow, Mini and I.

This was our here and now.

Please accept my humble apologies for causing a disruption. I see now a better way, how I could've been, should've been, to promote peace instead of trauma.

Michael Lutin is so funny. He is my hero, among astrologers.
Here is what he has to say about this coming Mercury Retrograde:

To even the sharpest individual,
Mercury’s contact with
Chiron and Neptune
adds unusual complexity.
It can be disorienting.
You look around and you are
in a blurred movie of your own life.

It is dizzying
to be at such loose ends.
If you’ve always been able
to trust yourself,
now it seems as if
you have awakened
in somebody else’s dream.

But what are you supposed to do?
If you strictly adhere to the
don’t-breathe-until-Mercury-comes
-out-of-its-damned- shadow rule,
you will spend
half your entire year
in teeth-chattering stasis.



Sometimes you just have to act
and then adapt to
the consequences---
like when I bought a refrigerator
that ended up serving
as a lovely boolkcase
in the back hall.
Or when I signed
on an apartment
and then suffered water damage
for twenty plus years.

So naturally it’s a time
when control freaks
are bound to be miserable

Wobbling back and forth
between Neptune and Chiron,
there's only one word for
this retrograde Mercury:

Doozie

and one totally effective remedy
FLEXIBILITIY



So then I came across this picture and thought hey! Maybe these T-shirts will come in handy now....

Updated version of the motif. Note: There is a cheetah drinking from the fountain in the center of the village while the cat who is perched above on a porch railing of a house looks on. There are birds flying in the sky and the whole layout of the village is different than it was before in order to fit in those things that ulli wanted in the artwork. :) Oh, and there's more color too.

He he, here's a control freak alright and all the same I love Mercury retrograde because even the sceptics tend to notice when the trixter is messing things up. But also old friends pop up which happened to me 3 times yesterday already. One of them i invited for dinner and as i was going to get some food i couldn't find my purse:shocked:

I turned the apartment upside down, tried to calm down thinking I'm still alive, i'm not in a fragile boat in the Mediterranean, I can borrow money from my friends...I called the police to report it lost, I blocked my Viscard an driving licence......

I then went into a room I seldom use but visited just before leaving; it was raining and I had fetched a pair of socks in a drawer....and...there it was:clapping: Big relief but now I have to get new cards and unlock my driving licence..but that's peanuts...Love you :jester: since you put me in contact with helping friends and a story to tell.

[ulli]

A few weeks ago we installed an electric motor on our main gate. Wired to an opener in the kitchen, plus two clickers in each car to open and close it when driving in and out.

Well, yesterday that Mercury issue appeared in all its glory.
A sister-in-law picked me up to go to a birthday party up in he mountains. The car already had three passengers in it, one being my elderly mother-in-law. My husband still away, so they thought it was best that I came with them.

We drive the two hundred yards down to the gate which I had opened from the kitchen, so when we drove through it I pulled the clicker out of my bag to shut it. The gate would not shut. New battery, yet no motion.
In a country like this you NEVER EVER leave your gate open. So poor sis had to turn around on that narrow drive to take me home again to get the other clicker from the second car. Turning around a third time now. Pouring rain with wind gusts, me getting soaked. The clicker was not where it was supposed to be... Long search..
Found it drive down again...not working either..

I decide to forget about the party....husband unreachable. Gardener calls worried because my gate was still open, which he happened to notice, when going by there. Yesterday was his day off.

Anyway, I could go on boring you with lots more happening all at once...the whole procedure lasted one hour. This morning I drove down to the gate one more time, and the gate opened and closed with no prob. Sunshiney day...
So the lesson is don't expect to open the electric gate while it rains, even if there is an emergency.
But we live in a rain country and the rainy season is just starting....

Roisin, I like that picture. My kind of Village, despite the fact that I no longer go to church,
it is still comforting to know that some people do.

Leopards roaming freely...fabulous.
Better there though than from my toilet bowl, the way some domestic cats drink.
It would still take me a while to allow a big cat inside my home. But I do love looking at them on YouTube.
Would love to hear what the other Villagers have to say.
Perhaps I should have waited and kept my opinion until last.

[Roisin]

That's not a church ulli... it's just a steeple (perhaps for a community meeting hall) to give more balance to the composition. :)

All the buildings are 3d models I textured and painted in Zbrush and photoshop.

Sync sync ulli! My father keeps talking about these carclickers after my purseincident since he thinks there would be someone that has invented something similar to search for lost items in one's immediate surroundings.

I found a website from 2000 with this kind of invention esp for pple with eyesight problems, but I could not find any such item to buy in any Google link. There's an"app" though for this purpose but then you must have a smart phone and that's not an option for my father......

He's also lost a lot of his mobility and his appetite isn't very good.

I'm asking for prayers of healing for him and to reduce his pain. He's open and receptive.

What would also give him comfort could be hot salt.
Ordinary table salt, 1 lb, in a pillow case, warmed in an oven, microwave, or dry frying pan, until hot.
Placed on the hip, and works better than hot rice or grain.

When I was sick with sciatica this worked better than the Voltaren injections I was given for pain.

The tiny salt crystals will radiate a healing frequency which will penetrate deep into the joint and tissue.
It's a cheap and easy remedy, and very effective.

[Caren]

Thanks Ulli for the salt suggestion, I'm going to give that a try this morning. I broke my toe when I was a child and lately it's been 'talking' at me.
And Nora - I will keep your father in my prayers. I hope he is feeling much better real soon :hug:

My mum had bone cancer, and it took me two years to convince her to use the salt.
She just could never take any advice from me.
I lived far away, and she was under the spell of her doctors.

When she finally tried it, she was so amazed at the relief it gave her that the salt bag became like a teddy bear,
and my sister-in-law who took care of her installed a microwave oven by her bedside.
She got back on her feet, and when she passed away she was fully dressed,
had collapsed with a massive heart attack in the hallway.
That's how she always wanted to go, with her boots on...
She was 82.
not bedridden and dependent on someone playing nurse.

[Caren]

Thanks for sharing re your mum Ulli, I hope to go with my boots on as well (when it's time) lol
The salt is also inexpensive and available to everyone. Great tip :)

[transiten]

The salt protocol seems fine but microwave oven???? I'm very sceptical of those devices....it's not that the food gets radiated but devitalized....and I would never have microwaves beside my bed...

The heres and nows (plural intended)

Mini Flash and I came back from the States (as we say in Québec for the USA) yesterday night. We were supposed to be arriving at dinner time but we were two hours late. Why??

Because while taking the 93 highway North from NH, to joint the 89 North in Vermont, we were chatting a lot and laughing in the car and I passed through without seeing the 89 highway signs.

After a while of driving, I tell Mini "This is so beautiful here, wow, what a beautiful area with lakes and mountains and... I think I have never been here" and she answers "me neither". The highway turned into 2 ways road with a high metal fence in between, nice rest areas, wooooow!

So I stopped in a small rest area to admire the nature and look at a map (old fashion way) to discover I had missed my usual road for more than one hour drive and was now exploring the White Mountains! It was beautiful!

I feel completely blessed to have a daughter with whom I can chat so much and have so much fun with that I do not even realised I have been driving in one direction waaaay too much.

Today, I am looking at jobs postings again and will fill applications - it is Victoria Day here, a Holiday based on the Queen Victoria's birthday (we are still quite British stunned here in Canada)

http://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-05-neurobiologists-youthful-vigor-adult-brains.html#nRlv

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. The same can be said of the adult brain. Its connections are hard to change, while in children, novel experiences rapidly mold new connections during critical periods of brain development.

UC Irvine neurobiologist Sunil Gandhi and colleagues wanted to know whether the flexibility of the juvenile brain could be restored to the adult brain. Apparently, it can: They've successfully re-created a critical juvenile period in the brains of adult mice. In other words, the researchers have reactivated brain plasticity—the rapid and robust changes in neural pathways and synapses as a result of learning and experience.

And in doing so, they've cleared a trail for further study that may lead to new treatments for developmental brain disorders such as autism and schizophrenia. Results of their study appear online in Neuron.

The scientists achieved this by transplanting a certain type of embryonic neuron into the brains of adult mice. The transplanted neurons express GABA, a chief inhibitory neurotransmitter that aids in motor control, vision and many other cortical functions.

Much like older muscles lose their youthful flexibility, older brains lose plasticity. But in the Gandhi study, the transplanted GABA neurons created a new period of heightened plasticity that allowed for vigorous rewiring of the adult brain. In a sense, old brain processes became young again.

In early life, normal visual experience is crucial to properly wire connections in the visual system. Impaired vision during this time leads to a long-lasting visual deficit called amblyopia. In an attempt to restore normal sight, the researchers transplanted GABA neurons into the visual cortex of adult amblyopic mice.

"Several weeks after transplantation, when the donor animal's visual system would be going through its critical period, the amblyopic mice started to see with normal visual acuity," said Melissa Davis, a postdoctoral fellow and lead author of the study.

These results raise hopes that GABA neuron transplantation might have future clinical applications. This line of research is also likely to shed light on the basic brain mechanisms that create critical periods.

"These experiments make clear that developmental mechanisms located within these GABA cells control the timing of the critical period," said Gandhi, an assistant professor of neurobiology & behavior.

He added that the findings point to the use of GABA cell transplantation to enhance retraining of the adult brain after injury. Furthermore, this work sparks new questions as to how these transplanted GABA neurons reactivate plasticity, the answers to which might lead to therapies for currently incurable brain disorders.

The loss of ignorance and the loss of capacity for ignorance. The levers of control gone, as there is no one of low enough intelligence to manipulate.

Keep track of this one, it is one of those things that will quietly be worked on, worked on to make it disappear. The PTB types will work very hard to find a way to place it out of reach.

Good morning all..... as a music-oriented person, I often get inspiration/intuition/motivation/etc from my music.

As noted previously on at least two occasions, the more I get out my older music the more I realize that everything in my music collection seems to contain bits of information I should've picked up on before now.

(alien abduction subject matter contained within a heavy metal song, may not be for some people):

How have I seriously missed the signs all this time?

On a related - or not? - note... the other day after posting a few things on PA, I was out and about and noticed a vehicle parked next to me with a US Air Force official emblem on the side of the vehicle. My father was in the AF and then the DoD and his particular job related to RADAR and programming computers when they were the size of buildings. He was high enough up in the job chain that he would often have to leave on no notice whatsoever to fly to various military installations across the US to help with urgent issues with these devices. (I have some letters of commendation from some military officials regarding this type of thing.) Unfortunately he died very suddenly and unexpectedly while at work one day when I was very, very young.

Surely all complete coincidence, eh? .......

[ulli]

Perception is everything.
And the question "what am I perceiving?" can only be answered in the now.

And the next question ought to be, after the answer arrives with a tiny Aha! moment,
"what other options are there?"
Should I stay with this current object of perception, and explore deeper, or move on
and then look around some more?

In the end it should lead me back to me, what am I doing, studying my perceptions,
and discovering my own levels of consciousness.
Irritable? What else is new? Resentful? Right on!

Are there any emo states worth striving for?
There sure are, like Hello, Wonderment, Hello, Amazement, hi there, obsessive compulsive creativity!
and so the only place currently that provides me with these states is my flourishing garden project.
Follow your bliss, this is my motto.

After all, if our collective resentment is that we were expelled from the Garden of Eden
at least we can use what little energy is left to recreate one of our own design.

All it takes is a patch of dirt, or even a small pot of dirt, and some seeds.

Add water, sunshine, a little breeze...

Do I want those youthful neurons? Sure.
But not if they don't include the pathways of self control and patience my years on this plane have helped me develop.
Nor do I want them if they don't include an awareness of my own self as a part of the bigger picture.

Followed the thread and sent lots of my 'pozzi-vibes', for what it's worth. Pain medications v appetite = constipation = feeling horrible. Needs loads of fresh tempting little-and-often foods, even a bit of mushed banana with some scrummy ice-cream for energy-sugar (organic Ice Cream of course). Forget normal meal-times, just little and exciting and often is great. Loads of fresh drinks/teas but NO aspartame/fizzy nonsense. Keep well hydrated, and energised without fake sugars. Lots of smoothies etc. :-)

[VoiceWithin]

Amazing thread, love it :inlove:

My eyes are dry and kinda itchy from insomnia last night. Feeling gentle, cold breeze touching my back from open window behind me. Birds and frogs outside are singing the song of their people. ;) I noticed a butterfly on the outside of my window and am feeling uncomfortable by his presence due to my terrible butterfly-phobia. I'm turning the lights off as a prayer for him to leave. But instead two more butterflies appeared. It's a good thing I have net on my window but am still uncomfortable when unwanted guests are coming to visit me.

This is so interesting, here where science could lead us to develop a super race of humans, yet, without the transhumanism. A super race completely human, no merging with technology, only using of technology for our betterment, this is what we must aim for. Or course it will be made to disappear, It is up to us to maintain its presence within our potentials and desires.

Thinking about the weather:cool: here and now.
It's been freezing here..... I think the coldest Spring on record. Good hot fire season in the wood stove should be over by now. Snow (twice now) in May is highly unusual here in SoCal. Usually we get a few good snow storms between December and February here in the mountains. And this last Winter was probably the warmest on record. There were nights that I did not build good hot fires in my wood stove. Lived up here almost ten years and it's the first Winter that I can recall not having a fire because it was too warm. Very weird and strange feeling.

Last year the earth warbled. I felt it and even wrote about the experience here and now.... will look for the post. I think, is that the cause of the changes in weather of the seasons? It's possible and likely and could cause ley lines to vibrate differently too. But then, tonight have been thinking that it feels more like a jump on a two rail track.... but a spiraling track. That one track is shorting out -disintegrating....then next to that track is another one, stronger-solid, and it's holding everything together while another spiraling track forms, but the energy is a very re-fined energy with several directional currents. Which leads me to believe that several different realities are converging and infusing into this one. The extremes changes in the weather are possibly the effect of this.

This reminds me of an experience I had back in the late nineties, 1999 I think it was. Beautiful clear Spring day. I was driving on a highway with a friend of mine and we were having a conversation about religion, the new age movement...and spirituality. I was at the wheel driving and looking at the terrain, mountains, vegetation and humans; all of a sudden I felt a zap. short accelerating or revving and everything became, looked and felt more solid, physical. I felt like a sleeve had been placed (actually felt more like it was slammed down) over the earth & inhabitants and.... so ie... the energies going to and the auric and magnetic field energies emanating from the earth disappeared. Doing double takes.... I pulled over and stopped and asked my friend if she had felt or seen anything. She really didn't notice anything odd....but my first thought was.... someone or something is trying to assemble/shift this reality/plane into something more physical and definitely more physical than it actually is.

Not sure if any of this makes any sense, but its what I've recently been experiencing and thinking about.

Note: Please note that the paragraph below is based on my experience on the crude energy emissions of microwave ovens and microwaves and the disruptions they can cause or cause of the connections between the human physical body, subtle body layers and our Spirit. And Yes I have used microwave ovens and being extremely sensitive to energy have felt the effects of them.

On microwave ovens -very dangerous to humans. Microwaves are very disruptive to the connections of the eyes to the third eye (and also disrupts hearing with our Spirit-mind). They can destroy the connective-physio-energetic-vibration-layers between the eyes and the third eye...., which makes it more difficult or impossible to see and process seeing...spirits, energies, extra-terrestrials, portals, dimensions, and from other natural abilities inherent to human being ...etc. Also, they are bad on the memory...memory of the (ancients, ancestral and future of the now here ((of being aware of who we really are)) and cause havoc on the subtle layers of the human body. Not nice at all. Static/noise in or between the human and Spirit. (It's a step or done to keep us just outside of fully integrating.)

Hi Nora, hope your dad is Ok? Mine is a 93 year Aquarian and I made him stop using the microwave oven, at least when I'm there...he uses it for drying his T-shirts and once it caught fire:eek: Aquarians you know wild :idea:(generalizing but all the same...)

Also this winter was very warm in Sweden and this May is very cold.

Let's start with this beautiful heron I saw in the forest this morning. The scene was even more of a fairy tale than pictured here, believe it or not. It was standing on the rail of a wooden bridge that goes over a small pond/river under a ceiling of very old trees.

Good morning all..... as a music-oriented person, I often get inspiration/intuition/motivation/etc from my music.

As noted previously on at least two occasions, the more I get out my older music the more I realize that everything in my music collection seems to contain bits of information I should've picked up on before now.

(alien abduction subject matter contained within a heavy metal song, may not be for some people):


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqYZ8yfizlM

How have I seriously missed the signs all this time?

On a related - or not? - note... the other day after posting a few things on PA, I was out and about and noticed a vehicle parked next to me with a US Air Force official emblem on the side of the vehicle. My father was in the AF and then the DoD and his particular job related to RADAR and programming computers when they were the size of buildings. He was high enough up in the job chain that he would often have to leave on no notice whatsoever to fly to various military installations across the US to help with urgent issues with these devices. (I have some letters of commendation from some military officials regarding this type of thing.) Unfortunately he died very suddenly and unexpectedly while at work one day when I was very, very young.

Surely all complete coincidence, eh? .......

Well only you can figure out why but Mercury retrograde will bring old themes up for review!

Beautiful! Some month ago as we went by taxi from our summerhouse (my father has special price because of age and sight problems) the taxidriver stopped to show us a heron he had passed on the way to pick us up, and as we returned it was still there! He asked me to take a picture and then we discovered there were at least 6 more! I've always wondered if they are solitares but no, they fish all day and then they gather in the evening!

Coming home on radio there was a special program about herons!

The salt protocol seems fine but microwave oven???? I'm very sceptical of those devices....it's not that the food gets radiated but devitalized....and I would never have microwaves beside my bed...

Since we just got another post about microwave ovens I will comment on this issue.
It needs mentioning that this microwave was only used to heat up salt in my mother's case and she was using it externally for pain relief.

Still, this topic brings up a lot of issues for me, since I was an anti-microwave campaigner all of my adult life, but as I had already stated, my mum was always the last person to listen to me.
So here and now, I find myself defending myself, but at the same time also wanting to take this to another level.
Everything needs to be questioned, in terms of context and also consequence.

I don't have a microwave oven in my kitchen, which actually causes a few raised eyebrows when workers want to heat up their lunch.
But what is more important, now that Mum has left us, I really wish I had not preached so much new age stuff at her, which includes my sermons about microwaves, and instead worked harder at keeping the relationship harmonious.

And the irony of all is this, my family in Germany was pretty divided between those who ate all sorts of crap quite happily, and lived to a ripe old age, and those who read Rudold Steiner books, and were anti-tech, and took extreme measures about their natural food first. And yet they still died young, with my auntie Irene who was the most fanatical about diets being the first to go. And other members who brought their own food when visiting our farm even had agonizing deaths.

This is evidence that needs to be looked at carefully, especially if we feel that divide and conquer is part of a game that is being played with us.
I have always been one of those who carried around a rule book about right and wrong living, and got on people's nerves, making them feel ignorant...and for ages believed that my genes would have the final say if I didn't remove myself from adverse conditions (Neptune square sun causes escapism) but now I believe that mind stands above matter, and that my core beliefs are what determines my reality.
But I also have stopped trying to convert people, having finally seen that fanaticism causes more harm than good, and that laughter and creativity are the greatest remedy, prescribed by Dr. Will DeLive.

Anyway, after a couple of dreams of Dad calling her, and having had visions of the Ocean of Eternity, Mum wanted to go. It was my job to do what I could to make her comfortable. She was unable at the time to get out of bed and heat the salt on the stove, so that microwave by her bedside was the best practical solution.
In the end she got better, could dress herself, and on the last phone call told me she had managed without her walker. Then suddenly she died of a heart attack, exactly as it had been her wish.
The microwave was more innocent of her death than any other entity in her life.

[Meggings]

Ulli, your post shows us ourselves at various times in our lives. May Dr. Will DeLive come into my abode and assist here. It is the ablest of all physicians.

Thank you for sharing your insight so we can see more clearly.

[Roisin]

I don't have a microwave oven either and I never could quite put a finger on it why I chose not to have one except to say that intuitively I felt that it was not a safe thing to use... and definitely not a safe thing to use in ones own home.

[transiten]

Hi Ulli and All!

I don't preach either, my sister and brother and their children eat just about everything and I even had cake, cookies, chips, read meat, wine and coffee on occasions although i should stay away from that because of my lingering symptoms from Lyme.

But as you say Ulli, I choose not to awaken a possible conflict every time and try to have a harmonious relationship with my family that I've reconnected with after my stepmothers passing.

Also i never thought the microwawes had anything to do with you mothers death (although I had the feeling it might be interpreted like that it never rose all the way up to my consciousness to put it in words) too short time to make any difference, but using it every day in the long run won't be healthy I think.

But on the whole I stick to my belief and diet. Balance balance balance (Got Moon and SN conj Neptune in Libra, not an easy thing with my Scorpio and Plutoaspects)

[Carmody]

The microwave was more innocent of her death than any other entity in her life.

That was my immediate thought as well. Considering the stage of life she was in, the microwave was a meaningless thing, with regard to potential negatives. May as well have taken up smoking or heroin. Would not have meant a darned thing.

Well, as someone who as a small child was around fifty miles downwind of a pretty major nuclear accident, and more recently downwind of Chernobyl although further afield (forget that: the fallout stopped at the border :)), I have no worries at all about things like microwaves in my home. I fully expect to have time to do everything I came to do, and when I pop my clogs no doubt it will be because my planets are misbehaving.

My dear sister was very fussy about her food, but she died a good while ago. She put it down to getting very angry about whatever it was. Now that's something I definitely won't have in my kitchen.

Hi Ulli,

Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Not intentional in the least. My post was not directed at your post or about you or your Mother in any way. Apologies for not clarifying that in my post.

It was about my experiences and taking notice (since I was a small child) of the energy coming out of microwave ovens and the stream of energy that bombards humans and can disrupt our delicate spirit-human system. But then Love and Spirit traverses time and space....

My Father's comfort on all levels is very important to me.... last thing I want is for him to suffer anymore or on any level. Thank you all for your suggestions, kind prayers of healing and love.

It was not personal, but I felt like karma was catching up with me.
I have changed quite a lot over the years and sometimes I think now that religion
was actually quite tame and less dogmatic than New Age teachings and the force with which they are being disseminated.
And of course I was once quite vocal myself, with macrobiotic eating habits, and tofu, and vegetarianism, when my last husband was nowhere near ready for that.
So sometimes I feel guilty for having warned people against something that I am no longer sure was actually that bad.
So you simply triggered something there, which has been brewing for a while and obviously wanted to come out.
No hard feelings at all.

[Carmody]

the end is near.

For toxic western food.

I've been speaking some time on how 'preservative' is just a euphemism for 'biocide' and 'fungicide', which are chemicals designed to kill life. That is the preservatives that they put in food, it is things that kill life.

The killers of the given life, are not selective.

So they do not kill bad gut bacteria and leave the good gut bacteria alone. They kill everything.

And any level of preservatives in any food, kills your gut bacteria.

Which means, in order to kill off, to dumb down a population, you kill them by using preservatives in food, canned foods, quick foods, and so on. If microwaves are used, the chemicals remain and the goodness that may have been there, is killed off and the broken chromosomes in the nuked food can promote the creation of cancer in the body.

This was shown to be scientifically true, proven to be true, in this bombshell report, of how a week of McDonald's food killed 2,000 of a total of 3500 gut bacteria, in one person.

The kid went from 3500 varieties of gut bacteria, down to 1500, and some may never recover. (these numbers may be incorrect and come from a different report on this study)

All those foods, all those prepared foods, are the same. They all tend to use the maximum allowable levels of preservatives in order to maximize shelf life... and they all kill gut bacteria the same way. If you like salami, for example, or little plastic bags of sliced ham, or whatever, it all has preservatives in it. All of it. It is all killer. All of it.


10-Day McDonald's Diet Leads To 'Devastation' Of Man's Gut Bacteria (http://www.medicaldaily.com/10-day-mcdonalds-diet-leads-devastation-mans-gut-bacteria-333036)

The world wide trend is toward prepared canned foods, and decreasing vitality and decreasing intelligence.

Ulli,

Truly is amazing you created this thread.
Want you to know that I have always respected and appreciated your vision of the Here and Now thread and Village. My goodness we have traveled miles and kilometers together with hopefully more to come.
(although sparsely for me in the last year, missed you all a lot.)

You probably woke people up to other possibilities that were more beneficial and helped them to broaden their perspectives or at least see things from another viewpoint. Ready or not. Our shadow can be our greatest ally.

one thing about microwaves is that I view them as crude energy that is displacing and distracting. Maybe I was too imposing of that view here and now.

I just have to say that the use of a microwave probably helped your Mother to maintain her independence and relieved her discomfort. It's something that I worry about with my Father everyday. Big strong independent man that he is, I know the pain is getting to him. He gets grumpy and frustrated and the pain meds aren't working very well. I may suggest medical marijuana to him at some point. I've found a lot of good things on PA and this thread that have helped him immensely. (My Father has metastasized cancer of the spine and bone.) Just to let you all know too his pain has reduced considerably since I shouted out for help. Thank yous and hugs. Strong, Compassionate Spirited Healers Here and Now.

And Ulli, LOL speaking of Dogma no one liked to go food shopping with me because I would read all the ingredient labels before choosing to buy something, so I learnt to look up items online and do the research first, before I went to the store.

and that force you speak of, is not dogma(tic), its evil.

Well I'm usually not very vocal about seeing beyond the visible light spectrum with other people. lol. It gets me into all sorts of trouble sometimes. Discernment, direction and keeping a handle on my emotions and remembering Love Love Love. As a child I figured out early on that not everyone sees dead people, spirits, beyond the light spectrum or reads minds.... Really what I wanted was to be accepted and to connect. There were times when I would get really frustrated and still do. I see those things and beyond as part of being human -multidimensional.

I'm still warbling and wobbly at times, but slowly coming back and feels good to connect with PA again and the Villagers.


Hugs and Big Love to you Ulli.

[ulli]

So your Dad has what my mum had. What can I say? It hurts just to think back on the worry and anxiety I felt.
I was grateful that a friend told me about Skype back then, when it was still relatively unknown.
Landline calls from Costa Rica to Germany were 45 cents a minute back then, and with Skype it was less than two cents. So at least we had some long conversations.
I'm just glad I didn't argue with her about not using that Microwave. She could barely walk, and although my brother and sister-in-law lived downstairs it would have been incredibly awkward to have them heat up her salt bag in a normal oven every half hour. It was all rather complicated and there were quite a few misunderstandings between the parties.
I wanted badly to go to visit her, and be there for her, and my sister-in-law said I should wait until the warmer weather...
and then suddenly Mum was gone.
Anyway, long story which I really don't like to dwell on.
I just wanted to share that the salt pillow gave her pain relief with that bone cancer, and she ended up back on her feet. Her death came as a massive heart attack, which spared her the agony of wasting away with that bone cancer.
So basically I believe we are on the same page, Nora, but were mixing various issues which were unrelated.
The priority, as you said, is your father's well-being.

I will keep sending healing energies to him and also to you that hopefully you don't have to suffer the same kind of anxiety I did during my mother's final months.

NASA Confirms Earth Will Experience 6 Days of Total Darkness in June 2015

WORLDWIDE – NASA has confirmed that the Earth will experience 6 days of almost complete darkness and will happen from the dates Tuesday the 30 – Monday the 6 in july . The world will remain, during these six days, without sunlight due to a solar storm, which will cause dust and space debris to become plentiful and thus, block 90% sunlight.

This is the head of NASA Charles Bolden who made the announcement and asked everyone to remain calm. This will be the product of a solar storm, the largest in the last 250 years for a period of 216 hours total. Reporters interviewed a few people to hear what they had to say about the situation with Michael Hearns responding “We gonna be purgin my n*gga, six days of darkness means six days of turnin up fam”.

Despite the six days of darkness soon to come, officials say that the earth will not experience any major problems, since six days of darkness is nowhere near enough to cause major damage to anything. “We will solely rely on artificial light for the six days, which is not a problem at all”, says NASA scientist Earl Godoy.

Actually, there was a prediction made by Guatemalan Mayan elder Don Alejandro about days of darkness, though I think it was three, not six.
I don't remember exactly when he said it would be, however I think it wasn't in 2012, but some years after that.
And it had to do with the transformation of the sun of the fifth world to the sun of the sixth world in the Mayan calendar.
Then there was some kind of scientific study that indicated that when a star transforms from a yellow to a white star (which our sun is doing according to some sources, anyway) it undergoes a transition time when it emits no light, though it continues to emit heat.
So if you believe the indigenous elders still have some wisdom, then it may not all be a hoax after all.
And of course, there is something in the Book of Revelations as well.

[Calz]

Supposedly there has been 3 days of darkness at least once before as passed along by several cultures (Native American and Chinese come to mind).

The sun reversing direction for a bit etc.

Well ... planets do, allegedly, have physical pole shifts ...

Mercury Rx alright, disinformation runs rampant :sun::shielddeflect: and yes in Gemini, the :jester: already tricked me like ever before but also the best astrological phenomenon even sceptics tend to notice like a friend of mine who greeted me with "Mercury retrograde" yesterday :thumbsup: and I already talked to pple I don't know personally about it since I arrived home 1 week ago.

Thing is also if Mercury makes one or several aspects in your personal chart while retrograding it will emphasize that area like f.i I've got Mercury opposing Kiron for a longer time than just 1 day, meaning communication will swing between damaged communication:tape: and the opportunity to heal it:handshake:

Astrologers out there, let's check the mundane chart for those days...

Wow! I checked my transits yesterday some time ahead...and now while opening the computor where i have my astrologyprogram an error occures, never ever happened before...tried to quit and "unexpected error" came up...shut the computor off...start again...OK! Doing things over and over, just like Mercury wants...

...anyway, checking my transits I noticed that the Sun squares my Mars and Moon for 4!? days on June 1st resp Aug7 and that's not possible. The rule is 2 days even if it may overlap if it start's in midday f.i, but 4 days? must be some error in the program...and now Calz talks about the Sun "reversing for a bit" so I thought it might be that but no it doesn't fit with the days...but makes a nice synchronicity all the same....

..my mother was a simultaneous interpreter...takes a longer time simultaneous :typing: though...

:bigsmile:
Not necessarily. During a solar eclipse, darkness arrives from the east, then light returns from the west, simply because the movement of the eclipse zone is in that direction. If you add to that the possibility that the Moon is a craft of some kind, then presumably its speed might be adjusted to provoke a three-day eclipse, albeit not everywhere and not at the same time for everyone. Additionally it could be brought in much closer, so as to affect larger regions for a longer period than usual. This would be a neat way of scaring the entire population witless. I for one would certainly keep it in mind if I were that way inclined. There is the precedent of Fatima, where people thought they saw the Sun dancing: the Sun would have been hidden behind cloud cover and a craft used for the display (or maybe it was the Moon).

[Calz]

Cannot find anything (yet) from Native American or Ancient Chinese lore (which surprises me) ... but there is this:

_________________________________________


The Sun rose in the west? Egyptian evidence?


Is there any evidence that previously the Sun rose in west and set in the east, the reverse of today?

If the sun ever did rise in the west then this would suggest a flipping or reversing of the either the earths rotation or the planets hemispheres.

If this did happen and people survived the reversing earth event then there should be some form of ancient written or oral recording of this event, even if it is just mythology.

Would this have triggered a magnetic reversal or been triggered by one? Would an Earth magnetic field reversal be due to the planet physically flip over?

Evidence for the Sun rising in the west?


Immanuel Velikosvsky in his Worlds in Collision book has investigated ancient records that may show evidence for a reversing of the sun rising and setting. Below are quotes from that book, chapter 5 ‘East and West’

Egyptian evidence that the sun set in the east?



[Herodus talking to Egyptian priests] four times in this period (so they told me) the sun rose contrary to his wont; twice he rose where he now sets, and twice he set where he now rises.




Pomponius Mela, a Latin author of the first century, wrote: “The Egyptians pride themselves on being the most ancient people in the world. In their authentic annals . . . one may read that since they have been in existence, the course of the stars has changed direction four times, and that the sun has set twice in that part of the sky where it rises today.”



The Magical Papyrus Harris speaks of a cosmic upheaval of fire and water when “the south becomes north, and the Earth turns over.” In the Papyrus Ipuwer it is similarly stated that “the land turns round [over] as does a potter’s wheel” and the “Earth turned upside down.”

Harakhte rose in the west

Immanuel Velikosvsky suggests that



Harakhte is the Egyptian name for the western sun … “Harakhte, he riseth in the west.” The texts found in the pyramids say that the luminary “ceased to live in the Occident, and shines,a new one, in the orient.” After the reversal of direction, whenever it may have occurred, the words “west” and “sunrise”were no longer synonyms, and it was necessary to clarify references by adding: “the west which is at the sun-setting.”

Senmut’s tomb and reversed stars



In the tomb of Senmut, the architect of Queen Hatshepsut, a panel on the ceiling shows the celestial sphere with the signs of the zodiac and other constellations in “a reversed orientation” of the southern sky.

Sun reversing, of course, implying the earth's rotation (ie sun's movement across the sky).

:bigsmile:

Gregg Braden in a video, at least I think it was him, said that its possible the earth reversed rotation and that would account for ancient text reporting that the Sun rose in the west and set in the east and accounting for three days of darkness on one side of the earth and three days of light on the other.
The three days the earth was stationary before resuming rotation.
I watched the video a long time back and it was an old one then---he had very long hair at that time.
It might still be available.

He was and is ahead of his time as to the state of the world changes.

Anyway that's as best my memory can recall.

If anyone finds it please post it.

Thanks Chris ... well I found this:



I've been observing information pop up about the "3 days of darkness" lately... also, I noticed the whole "Princess Kaoru Nakamaru of Japan" information talks about it. However, no one seems to reference the science behind it all and I'm thinking people are very confused by this whole idea and I've read some very esoteric remarks about it ... as if it can't literally happen to the planet and the words must be a symbol of something spiritual.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gregg Braden. He is an "ex"-geologist and is known for bridging the science and spirituality.

He did the "Awakening to Zero Point" lecture in 1996 and I'm sure the information was too much for most people at that time. Scroll down for 2 video links totaling 3.5 hours and extremely informative.

Part 1 teaches us what is happening on our planet scientifically. He discusses the magnetic fields of the planet @ 44:55 as a segway into the 3 days of darkness and explains scientifically what occurs for this to happen @ 1:9:00 Please watch the whole video to gain a solid understanding of the information.

Part 2 is about the vibrational frequency of love and what it does to our DNA... also talks about the holographic universe and utilizes the Mandelbrot Set as an example (information that coincides more with Nassim Haramein's work re: holographic universe)

Part 1 (1:45:15):

I watched a video with Mayan Elders (I think it was) talking about 3 days of darkness in connection with 2012??? Some sort of positive change for the world an nothing to fear...Have to check that...Old themes popping up, information missing, more to come...

Voilà! http://www.alamongordo.com/hopi-native-american-predictions/

Wonderful humble Mayan Elder talking about the Sun once rising in the West at 8 minutes and cool comment on Freud in the End

I miss Sabrina's posts. Her last one was in January.
Maybe a moderator knows more.....

...and here is a sync
Just as I was thinking of those bankers jumping from high buildings this popped up
(Of course none of these people are bankers, they are TV addicts.)

But still, that image of a high rise building with someone on the ledge was on my mind, and voila, it got manifested in a different context.
Thought alone doesn't manifest reality, there has to be a visual image accompanying it....

And where is Paula these days?
Hi Ulli,

Steep in nature, reflection, study, and clearing out what I’ve outgrown.

I escaped with a bottle of wine and Ben&Jerry’s last weekend. I enjoyed neither. Translation: not a good time to be around anyone.

Good news is synchronicities are plentiful. And judging by the left-right pull and wobbles when I’m out for walks and peripheral phenomenon, tells me that I’m aware of the fluctuation of energies.

I’m still catching myself do things in a more efficient and beneficial way. Which tells me that intelligence and creativity continues to awaken.

<3

[ulli]

As long as these coincidences multiply you know you are on the right track.
Congrats.

And nothing supplies coincidences like nature, although I have experienced them also with TV programs, as my husband leaves the TV on, and just walking through the room someone on the TV says exactly what I needed to hear at that moment.

When consciousness is low then we come under the law of accident, according to Gurdjieff.
With higher consciousness that law is replaced by the law of surprise coincidence, or synchronicity.
That then is the paradise found. I told my construction workers that when we lost paradise and were driven out of Eden it was with only one intent: to inspire us to build our own Eden.
And if you don't like the saying "by the sweat of his brow" you find technology to provide shortcuts.
We just rented a cement mixer for the month, haha.
But actually, hard work and a good sweat are excellent for health.
As long as it is not imposed by slave drivers.

Yesterday my twelve year old asked me "what's the illuminati?" out of the blue.

I was frustrated to realize I did not know how to verbalize the answer effectively. I was more interested in the timing of her question though. No idea what to make of it.

My 13 year old son mentions the illooney naughties sometimes when on the computer game playing with others such that the audio is shared (at least without headphones).

Sounds like your daughter is closer to the mark as my youngest (and friends he communicates with) seem to make light of the matter.


I have ventured into the waters of trying to share a few things with both my sons (oldest is 18 now) but the youngest wants nothing to do with it :lalala: (nor my wife for that matter).

Hard choice for a parent. I want them to enjoy "normal" life while they can.

Well actually, given what Mercury gets up to, I'd be interested in having an astrological take on the earlier discussion. There'll be nothing in the textbooks of course.

[ulli]

I don't know anything about "retrograde suns".
Never heard of it, at least not in astrology.

My speciality is more to do with personal astrology, and my knowledge of collective influences the way Tom Lescher does, is limited.
Planetary influences only give tendencies, which free will can decide to go with, or go against.
In my case, I currently have Uranus squaring my sun. Pluto is squaring my Neptune.
I need to let every one know how well I'm doing here, as far as being "nice" goes.
Uranus gives a tendency to change everything, to be drastic, to not care what others think nor feel.
But I don't have to give in to planetary whims.

As long as I know what I'm doing, and why, and my general direction is intact, I can ride any planetary wave.
And if I get crushed I can always count on the Village to nurse me back to normal.

All the above goes for the rest of us.

Here and Now, it is a sense of stability I feel, almost like an anchor, when I sit down and listen to the talk of mundane goings on of the Villagers. I do this often. My mind goes every which direction, I go every whch direction. Having a bit of a rough patch.

It has been thunderstorming all week. I have said so many times, I just love thunder. And the rain is so peaceful. I am thankful for the storms. I should be so thankful for the inner storms, but that is a tricky proposition.

Much Love,

After a couple of five-hour drives last weekend (haven’t had time to recount the in-between, but I hope to), the prospect of driving for five days is a little too much for me. But I guess the fantastic scenery makes it a completely different experience. Anyway, great to see you Dan, and Nora, and of course to have Marianne back as well. 1inMany, don’t let anyone steal your thunder as you come out of that rough patch.

My dad had a flugelhorn. They are mellow and full of soul, like the viola is to the violin. Quite beautiful. Those two gents look like they might be father and son. They are astounding musicians. I really like the medley they put together of Simple Things and Amazing Grace, while Em is addicted to their Rhapsody in Blue. I'm a little sick of hearing that one now, I have heard it coming from Em's room one too many times.

Very long drive today. Visiting my girls and grandbabies. Little One will be 7 tomorrow. Seven. Holy Number. I will spend the afternoon with K, M, Em and the two Little Ones. (Don't know if whatshisname is accompanying them.) The baby is six months old now, can you believe it? Oh, she is just precious. Such a little drama queen that she cracks us all up. Glad I don't have to worry about that little booger being in my house through her teens hahaha. The Little Ones will get to spend the night tomorrow, and we will have such fun together. I hope the Light we cultivate when they are here helps to illuminate their dark spots.

Here's the Russian finalistjBVY7Glcd84 one of the strongest "challengers" of "Heroes" since many believe Sweden will win. The Russian lyrics is about peace...she Swedish commentator made an ironic statement about this in live broadcast! What's your take on that....Also most of the songs are in English...hmmmmm.......

Italy has a strong number according to the juries with great voices and they sing in Italian 7KTLGMAXQw8
Israel is not part of the EU but has been a participant for long...why is that?
And this year Australia a great fan of Eurovision contest and who many thinks may win....well this guy can sing alright, sounds very "American" though...

Now Mercury is trixtering again, I can't insert the Australian video although it's on youtube and I do it in exact the same way...You'll have to check it out yourselves: The title is "Tonight again" with Guy Sebastian and could just as well have been from the US so:

Why not make this a Worldwide Song Contest then...but maybe the Asian culture won't fit in...except for Japan though who loves everything from the West, esp Sweden...

Waiting for your analysis :music: thinking about the absurdity of the News reporting about this next to the fugitive catastrophe almost with the same tone of voice...

Our vice prime minister a woman from the Green Party governing with the Social Democrats and a temporary agreement with the conservatives which forces them to govern with a conservative budget (almost like in the US) made the statement this catastrophe in the Meditarranean is the"Auschwiz of our times" and everyone went crazy accusing her of being ignorant, not being advisable/fit? - can't find the proper word - for her position...I think it was a valid comment....

These types of competitions are all part of mass control. So many commercial and political interests.
I thought the Swedish performance was quite energetic, and a catchy tune, but perhaps too dark for the judges.
Who knows what criteria they use to pick a winner.

Maybe the Russian girl has already been picked as the next L'Oreal model,
and it wouldn't surprise me if some mega corporation like L'Oreal can pull strings re the outcome.
Neither am I surprised that Israel is included.

[Carmody]

The problem, for some, is to come to the realization that a perfected system, is what we move toward.

that a perfected system, ~IS~ death. As a perfected system, would have no change and stillness is truly a death.

The thing that works, with unevolved beings, which in order to be alive, is to be an unevolved being....

To be broken and searching for solution and perfection, is to be alive and to be a full actualized perfection, is to be dead.

To live on the boundary of seeking perfection, and seeking unity, while it is being torn from you, that is life.

To not find dissolution into total disarray and random noise. To be organized enough to possess consciousness and to seek. That is life.

Pain. Fear. Love. Joy. These are the sort of varying pressures, that keep the edge of evolution intact, and flowing, the automata of the vehicle, of the avatar... that keeps it on a course of sorts.

Unity is the polar opposite of the death of dissolution. One is no more useful to life than the other. To seek unity is merely the orientation of the systematic process of growth.

The struggle is the purpose, is the end point, is the moment itself. There is no other than the rolling roiling wave of change, and the stresses that drive and purpose it.

If one finalizes the idea of struggle in an end point of perfection, then one is, in essence, at a dead end. Once again...locked and unchanging..dead.

To revel in your struggle... for in the idea of consciousness, awareness, growth, self....within those realities of universe as being -- there is nothing else.

For sure ulli and I red the headlines today that the chief of the competition had made some shady moves to get Måns the Swede out of the way, don't know why just yet...actually as crazy the hoopla is I think Måns has a honest and simple - in a good way - expression so in the midst of mindcontrolled events there may also be something positive shining through once in a while...

In other words, it is truly a horrible thing when one finds perfection, as it kills you. Paradox, as the reflection of evolution - the reflection of - consciousness as reality.

To seek the way out, but know there is no where else to go.

Why would one have perfection of self on the horizon...and then step back? Well, obviously, it had to be let go, as that would be an ending. A motion toward a lesser place, a nothingness of sorts. A less alive place than this, this horror show that must be.

There are other places and states that one can struggle within...that one can go to, in order to contest the evolution of self.

When growth comes from puzzles one cannot reach, then..the layers of this place's confusion does indeed create...potential. Potential that cannot be found in many places, or in many conditions.

Perfection is the ultimate closed system: either you experience it as hell because you think you can’t get out, or you enjoy the experience of searching for the concealed exit, i.e. discovering the imperfection. In the ultimate open system, as opposed to the pseudo- closed system, there are no fun and games with the pretence of perfection, except for the perfect satisfaction of endless perfectibility: process as opposed to state.

[transiten]

On the other hand you never find perfection, if you do it's an illusion and even striving towards it might be destructive, depends of the intent and what it contains. In horary astrology there is a term called "perfection" when two planets line up but that just means it's the way things may going to manifest and that's "perfect" in the sense it cannot be otherwise given the circumstances....I think...

We are socked in, fog bound, the garden is completely whited out. Native San Franciscan blissing out here lol.

Nora, I am so glad your dad is feeling less pain. Will keep sending love his way.

Good to see you Dan. :)

Ulli, LOVE your hair! I had short hair (see profile pic) before I grew it out into braids. Braids are the only way to keep my hair, otherwise I'd cut it off in a hissy fit. Do I sense a difference in intuition? I dunno. According to palmistry, I have fully developed intuition (whorl print on the mound of intuition) but only on the hand that represents what you've accomplished or the unconscious. So what use is unconscious intuition?

She who must not be named keeps receiving, buy food, buy food, stock up on non perishable foodstuffs. Can't do that with my laid off 3D hubby...

We went to a country fair this weekend. Lots of older farmers being pushed in their wheelchairs by their wives. Junk food everywhere, high diver, hypnotist, awesome, amazing art work from the local middle and high schools, and 4H club animals, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, including their babies... The sheep are clipped, and many of them wear fitted coats in the evening, one was in camouflage, i told her to keep her coat on and run. I sang a song to the little black sheep who listened to me with undivided attention lol. She objected to the three bags full bit, saying I was being very unrealistic.

We bought ourselves another Cutco knife, small one because ooh they are expensive. Found out they are guaranteed for life so we'll send our old one in to be sharpened. The new knife will be mailed to us, police don't want people carrying knives around the fair. The police are loaded up these days with big pocketed vests (mace, stunners, grenades, plastic ties?), and very large guns...

Definitely hotter on the plain below the foothills, but they have a wind that is so refreshing...

Today , found a page with writting on it in my basement. When i picked it up, I saw it was a poem with chords (something you use to read music) on it. Acording to the handwritting and the lack complexity in the music, I must have been around 13 years old when I wrote this.

Here are the lyrics translated into english (french was the original language):

There is something that catches me in this beautiful hobby
The hobby of not listening
Nobody can warn me about how I should act
Stop controling
Tell this to bring smiles, even if it's not allowed
Go there to discover, even if it's not allowed
But the true question is ''Why is it not allowed?''

I didn't know I had such thoughts at this age.. I guess I have always been agaisnt a controling society :)

We're socked in here too....the mountains of SoCal, and rain. Winter in Spring here still. Just finished splitting more wood....

I'm coming back bit by bit, i've managed to gain ten of the twenty-five pounds I lost during-after the
events of last year -weighed a whopping ninety-nine pounds. Stupidly tried meat to gain weight ... just made me sick and lose more weight.

Two transiting planets (Venus and the moon) conjunct two inner planets in my twelfth house....

A 'police interceptor', a retired one, went by. (retired police highway chase vehicle-bought second hand)

Except it was piloted by a pair of of backwoods boys, in their early 20's...with their ball caps on.

They both had big grins on their faces.

The passenger had his feet up on the dash, and was most definitely smoking a joint.

Make black cut-outs, shadow shapes of the local bird predators, and place them on the window panes, in various spots.

This will prevent the vast majority of bird impacts on the glass.

One per window side (side of wall) will generally do the job.

There should be an internet resource for that, regarding the local predator bird shapes - for making such devices.

'raptor silhouettes', is what they are called.

30 minutes ago I was talking about all the birds that crash into the glass windows in New York. And now this angry bird reminds me -MercuryRx- of the sparrow hawk I saved that had crashed into a very small window at our summerhouse 2 years ago. This is because the birds can see the trees through the window across the room, so now we keep the curtains "closed"? How do you say that in English?

It was very special to hold that predator bird and look into it's eyes.

Help!! I can't paste videos or pictures anymore!? Why is the "paste function" suddenly invisible? This happened after I posted the 3 videos from the European Songcontest yesterday. I proceed exactly the same way, and even checked with Pauls info once more but no, as I get to the "paste" it's gone. Why is Mercury Rx working so hard on me:facepalm:

I can tell you that we have a real life predator bird in my street for a few years (yes, in the city) and we do not see many birds anymore .. sigh.

A couple of things I’d suggest is to try to add a video in the sandbox thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?14962-Sandbox-thread-OK-to-practice-posting-here&p=962155#post962155) that way someone can trouble shoot the problem.

I’ve found when I can’t paste, it’s because I thought I copied when really I forgot too, i.e., copy then paste. Another suggestion is to close down your browser and redo the video.

AS FOR 2015,

It's about cautiously exploring options, seeking joy,
not Christ coming to pick you up

You can reach the future only by
passing through the present,
and sometimes you have to
crawl through it to get there.
Like now.
Proceed.

Thanks again Running Dear! I think this Mercury Rx is tripping me up to make me realize my cry for help actually is about my state of health...

Of course i forgot to click on copy...

The show of the Swedish winner of the Eurovision Song Contest has been accused of being a plagiarism JnTvAaHtQRU

I wonder if Mercury Rx will dig this up again after his victory, this was discussed in the press before but i didn't see it until now...I've been thinking it sounds a lot like Aviici but not exactly a plagiarism but "inspired" by his style, but together with this :(

Scroll down to "Mercury retrograde" in this article that Wind posted. "It's also known as a time of fated events. Important things can happen based on a persons souls contract and therefore lifepath. It can bring events from the past back to the surface."

Harumph! Well posted, and I particularly like the previous one as well. That would get the Baptards back home a tizzy!

Don't forget this one, too. My favorite Clash number. Very poignant as well, speaking of the times. It's crazy that musicians, artists and comedians are the facet of popular mainstream media that can speak the real truth, though often met with castigation, ridicule and avoidance. They get away with it by innuendo, metaphor and humor. And often it goes right over the heads of many. The truth is an underground movement. The Fnords are always on the surface. Back to the music...... (I Like this one so much I had to post two versions).

Well now in retrospect I wish that Russia had won the contest and Italy nr 2....I don't know what to think about the plagiarism thing...if at least they had asked about permission to use the creations of others...how much is one allowed to be "inspired". Of course there can be melodies one have heard in childhood not knowing where it comes from in the present moment but this...

Do you think Polina and the Swedish composers of the song - yes they are Swedish so why only talk about Russia in this case- have a serious connection to the lyrics? The singer seems very moved and really reaches through the TVscreen. Italy's number is high quality but the number 1 of the pples votes was Russia, Italy nr 2 and Sweden nr 3 but the juries voted Sweden 1, Latvia!? 2 and Russia 3

Despite the commercial intrests and intrigues behind the scenes (the headlines that day said the Norwegian Chief for the contest had made some hidden moves to get Sweden out of the way!?) MercuryRx alright. Anyway this hughe event says something about our times...maybe it's not all negative despite the economic interests I would say..or what do you think?

And there was this Hungarian contribution that really stood out in it's beauty, simpleness and message but would never have a chance in a contest like this. Made me think of the 70:th, my own youth singing ballads like "The cruel war is raging"

Now MercuryRx is propelling me further and further back in time, we had this PPM copycat group "Apples and Grace"...don't know if we just misunderstood or made a remix of "Dapples and Bays" from another song of PPM:blushing: I have never ever seen them "live" and have not heard this song for 50 years.

:bearhug: with me! Now I'm on my MercuryRx Ego-tour, googled for "Apples and Grace"and found this! Check out the last comment! http://www.applesandgrace.com/

OMG!!! As I'm continuing reading this story it's about a little girl misinterpreting Dapples and Grace in the same way:heart:

And now Ladies and Gentlemen:hippie: A radioshow about Bob Dylan and Swedish pple telling stories about their connection to him. Highway 61 Revisited seems to be worth A LOT! And I've got the record of course, have not played it for years and years...should I sell or should i keep it?

In the Eurovision Song Contest, worlds biggest entertainment event, Lithuania gave Russia 0 points and many in the audience boooed laudly as Russia seemed to have a chance to win. The "compères" - as my dictionary says - told the audience that Eurovision Song Contest is about music, not politics. What a mess, the lyrics for this song of peace (written by Swedes by the way) and many of the countries who fear Russia thought that was hypocrisy and also because homosexuality is opposed there.

Thing is last year a transsexual from Austria won the contest. She calls herself "Conchita Wurst" which is a sexualized name and most pple don't get that. She has kept the beard and I have no problem with all that but I'm so tired of the focus on sexuality and the exxagerated "femininity" that many men display when crossing gender. SaolVEJEjV4

But that's just the reflection of the overall state of consciousness in the world.
Anyway she has made a lot for tolerance in the EU I think, even the signals for crossing the road now have homosexuals instead of a man and a woman:highfive: and she sure can sing:sing:

Chakras explained for kids

I had no idea that this film had such important messages. Good stuff, in as simple a form as is possible. First comes the idea.

The first thing, is to get them to turn and look (the basic idea/thought package). which this simple message does. The rest will come of it's own volition, for those who hear what it says and are driven to continue (whenever the moment comes).

This also allows the young to dump and break the logjams before they happen, and to do this while the mind is still growing (which I found, when I did similar things while still growing)...a critical thing.

The gift of clarity while physically young, is what makes it happen, as cleanly and as easily as is possible. Born and shaped 'undamaged'. The thing we all hope for in the younger group.

Good morning

Dashing out the door, but before I do, thought I would share some photos of my more recent travels in Southern California, beaches. Originally posted in onawah's Beautiful Nature Pics thread. http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?52010-Beautiful-Nature-pics&p=960521&viewfull=1#post960521

Ulli, wow, I love the photo of your new peach tree. Reminds of the good peaches we used to get here in California 30+ yrs ago. It's all changed a lot.

Thank you for the larger version, Paula :hug:

With a bit delay, bits 'n pieces of the children's experiments (the ones with lines (red-blue-black) running through them). All of them were sold pretty quickly. I was lucky to have taken pictures at the beginning of the event because when I returned a few hours later the gallery was becoming more and more empty. The school decided to donate the money in charity. The Kandinsky circles were not from the toddlers I worked with but an older aged class, it was my favourite painting in the gallery!

Mid-bottom you can see my own experiment. Remember that simplification of that forest into more abstract parts? Well, this is step three, I believe. It was so much fun to do. What always amazes me with things like this, is that the results don't necessarily match the fun. This painting was much more fun to do than that I find it a good visual product. Which brought me to the idea of putting small screens in musea next to the paintings, on which you can see a recording of the artist enjoying themselves (I hope they do) as they are making the painting that is hanging up the wall.

Inanimate art: I had this bucket that I forgot about. It was in a corner in the laundry room. And one day as I was cleaning up that room, I found it again. And the last detergent I had used in that bucket had left a beautifully patterned sediment (bottom left).

Wedding bells ringing for my sister. This has resulted in a lot of family gatherings lately, I missed that. Everyone's always so busy (or just doesn't think they have a good reason to gather). Most of these moments are really fun, even if small-talk filled. And my uncles' wives, adorable ladies have been so helpful in preparing the festivities that go along with these events. Oriental weddings are like that, complex, rulebook, and then the food. And my mum did the flowers. Flowers and candles, a part-time obsession. Not so fun moment is when someone asked me if I could persuade my sister not to invite my niece in France who is married to a black man. Shame on that person, and I told them so.

And I put away my lovely bike in the garden (storage). I'm now getting along with the new bike. I have to get used to the idea of replacement. I was emotionally attached to my lovely other bike which served me for almost ten years. It was such a strong thing, English make. The new one is a Dutch make. It's lovely as well. I like the Dutch to-the-pointness-, no frills, and yet making a statement.

The daily children tantrums are difficult for me. I like my rest, I like the child to be able to be a child and I also have to discern which behaviour was conscious on their part and which behaviour is part of the problem we are researching. It's a daily challenge harmonising all those things. I can't get much done and yet at the end of the day, I feel that I've done a couple of full-time jobs. I'm a bit tired lately.

So, my in-laws who are coming over this weekend are not well-timed unfortunately...neither are the other relatives they are bringing along. Luckily, my mother doesn't believe in my cooking skills so she will be here early enough to take over. It's a tribal thing. The relatives coming along with my in-laws are of a Moroccan tribe that is very critical when it comes to the reception of guests. And avant-gardist me is a bit liberal with all those (suffocating) rules, which doesn't mean I don't value my guest; I prioritise the conversation.

I think we should abolish the interberberian tribal etiquette altogether. Write a book about it, have a few anthropologists comment on it, and stock it as a good historical read.

Here and in the Now I just came across this. I wish to share this vibrant resonating nugget to all of the village. Artist is Jim Blue. The song is Angelic Rhapsody. I enjoyed the warm energy of this tune. A healing and peaceful tune for the toolbox IMO.

Be well my Kolas.

The restaurant looks fabulous, love the art. I wish I could be there and sample the most important item, the menu! I know that business is extremely hard and stressful. I'll send energy from afar.

Thank you, Playdo, and everyone else who sent positive vibes.
He told me that while his guests were enjoying themselves and having a good time
he had to deal with endless teething problems ([email protected] words)

The Cliff Beach Club is the younger version of his father's (my ex) place, and adjoining it on the same property.
The main restaurant is called The Cliff; it is well established and caters to the rich and famous.

Good morning, the early sun is shining here.

I just heard a witness account from India and now revise my opinion of the cold wind that I found non-matching this bright sun. May things cool down over there too.

The restaurant is cool, (and) as in refreshing. The choice of colours has been kept simple and with a rather consistent cool palette, matching the view. Blue for water, white for the clouds, browns for the sand. It's delicate. Nice. Was it like that too under previous ownership? The theme.

This is also sun, 90° view from living room floor:

There was no restaurant there before. My ex bought the house of an English woman, now deceased,
who had retired in Barbados. Her small sail yacht used to be parked in front, and visible from the road I used when driving my son to school.
Back then I had a small antiques shop, and this lady would sometimes pop in for a chat.
She told me of her childhood. Her father had owned a traveling circus, and used her in his circus acts starting when she was five years old. He would tell her to lay down on the floor of the arena and place a stone slab on her body, which he would then proceed to smash into pieces, in front of the cheering audience.
Years later after I had left Barbados for Costa Rica, my former husband approached her with an offer to buy her property, so he could build his restaurant there (hence the name The Cliff) while she would be permitted to remain living in her house until her departure from this world, and it is this house my son remodeled to create the new restaurant. Although the restaurant area itself is on a deck built from scratch. The reception area, bar, kitchen, offices and a bakery are in the part that was once her house, and the changes made are enormous, and apparently were incredibly costly. Well, Dad paid. But my son designed it.

You know I took a different path, one which does not require tons of capital.
I was his dad's starter wife (he is now on number three) and we differed in our attitude to money and the rich.
Now, 26 years after our divorce, I am more creative than ever, using a palette of seeds and saplings and let nature do the rest.
When my botanical garden opens to the public a few years from now I will be proud to tell people that all this was done by a formerly unemployed couple who were not afraid to get their hands dirty.
The three of us are planting every day. Backbreaking work, as there are so many stones in the otherwise fertile soil.
Took this picture this afternoon.

From a distance it looks less impressive now than what the future will reveal.
So lots of before and after pictures yet to come.
Not to forget what has not been planted yet, and is still inside the world of ideas.

My point was in appreciation of the beauty of the result.

Kudos to your son for his amazing creativity and any that made such a possibility.

One of the plants which was given to me. For a while I was worried it wouldn't make it, as transplanting a mature plant is quite risky. And then this flower popped out. A black Bird Of Paradise.
Incredible. And by the looks of it it seems to like the new garden.

Don't know how the above will appear...it's from the Swedish alternative forum Vaken=Awake, a demonstration against Monsanto in Gothenburg, i was not there but I've been singing on many demonstrations in this particular place...

It worked out well! "Transnational companies are used to move across and don't meet any obstacles to borders. Today we are showing that the resistance against Monsanto also doesn't know any borders!" Listen to the "singing" Swedish language and the dialect from Gothenburg:clapping:

I just backtracked in this thread and had I seen ulli's posts about her son's new restaurant, I would have held off posting the post I posted in this thread last night about women and how we have worked so long for respect and recognition in the business world.

Anyway, someone here said that the restaurant business is a tough one and so on... well my niece and her husband opened their own restaurant in San Francisco in an area that has the most expensive real estate on the planet and I'm happy to say that after five years now, they are doing very well and will be opening up their 2nd restaurant in Sausalito sometime within the next couple of years. Do they have a life outside of work? Nope, they never will either not as long as they are in the restaurant business... that's for sure! But they are doing very well and that just gives proof that not all new restaurants fail... some do prevail!

Glad to hear it. Upper end has better survival chances than middle or lower end,
and once the clientele includes Hollywood and British royalty there is no chance of failure.
And this is what my former in-laws, my ex, and now my son are catering to.
And it is also the world I turned my back on- more and more as I woke up.
And judging by his friends (who are partly alt community people) my son is trying to live between those two worlds.
And that is the real cause of his stress.

P.S. I see Jiminii is visiting this thread right now. Hi there, Jim. Lots of love. Hope you are doing well.

[Roisin]

I'm so relieve to hear that it's upper end and from the looks of it, thats what i thought too. You are sooooo right about it being all about, or mostly so, the clientele too (though excellent food, service, location, decor, atmosphere etc play just as big a role too) and there's no doubt in my mind that your son's place is going to prosper and become its own institution as time goes by. It will be something that will be passed on from one generation to the next! I'm so excited for you and your family ulli!

BTW, their's is located right on the ocean too... in this case the bay.



PS -- sheesh, so many typos in this one, have not had my coffee yet... just woke up. lol

"Trettondedagsmarschen" (13:th day after X-mas) played in Orsa Dalarna often presented abroad to be the most "typical Swedish". I stayed for 4 years in a village nearby learning a selfsustainable lifestyle playing with the local fiddlers. The guy leading the fiddlers was only a teenager at the time and now:clapping:

Getting a work permit for the chef held up the opening by several months.
He is from Paris, is French, and arrived in Barbados several weeks ago.
All I know at this point is what some of the dishes look like.
I only got to see pictures, and brief Whatsapp messages, as I am in Costa Rica.
Will be going at the end of June.

And here's another one for you playdo. a42b8OVJY1YThis band "Kebnekaise" was the first to play electrified folkmusic in Sweden. The fiddler and I dated quite innocently and he inspired me to pick up the violin. We were supposed to go on a tour, me as a singer and guitar player but I ended up on Music High School in Gothenburg...thankfully, they smoked a lot of weed hence they got the nick name "The Highest band in Sweden" from Kebnekajse the highest mountain. The the fiddler was the only one who left the Hippie World....Here's what he looked like at the time, the guy sitting down to the left...7_e7r0ABEHA
