Oh thank goodness, it is time to put this day to rest.

It isn't belated yet, Violet. Right on time.

Thanks, y'all. The Here and Now gave me a (much needed) place to process. And it's awesome to spend time with friends like this. It was a special day.

Much Love,

[Marianne]

Happy birthday, 1inMany! Many happy returns.

You pack a lot of love into this life of yours. That horizon looks pretty bright over your way.

Today I celebrate being a Goddess.

I think the proper term actually is Crone.
Rather than three ages of woman, you might go back to the three aspects of the goddess, which are synchronous. She comprises at once the mother figure, the pure bride and the whore (representing her sexuality), which are not separable without leading to tragedy. The tragedy comes with the failed integration of the masculine. I fished out an old post of mine on this subject, which might be worth a second glance when celebrating the goddess.




Well actually no, none of this sounds familiar.
OK, let me tell you what sounds familiar to me in all of this.

Queens greedily devouring boys to mark lunar cycles sounds exactly like Arizona Wilder’s description to David Icke of goings-on at Windsor Castle. Matriarchy not dead? The deity in those days was the Triple Moon Goddess (in her triple aspect: waxing, full, waning moon). I’ll come back to this. Notice in passing how the importance of the number 13 comes from the lunar year of 13 months (364 days).

The change from sacrificing boys to animals is documented in the Old Testament in the story of Abraham substituting a ram for Isaac on instructions from Yahweh. Yahweh often gets a bad press, but this sounds like progress. And Christianity, which also often gets a bad press, offers what sounds like further progress with Jesus offering himself symbolically in the form of bread and wine. To criticize this as a late form of cannibalism is to look backwards in time. The forward-looking view sees it as an improvement, although we now need to apply this same process of purification to the notion of sacrifice itself.

In Greece, the sacrifice would have been a bull, or maybe the difference is of time rather than place: different ages (Taurus followed by Aries: the mythical Jesus in the new age of Pisces would sacrifice fish). Rams and bulls were supplementary to requirements: a typical flock or herd would consist of females and their young; adult males being needed only in small numbers (even less when their contribution to the reproductive cycle was not understood). Nowadays we have herds of bullocks by castrating the males. Alternatively we have countries where bulls are allowed to live: until they reach the bullring, that is. Bullfighting at least shows respect for the animal’s physical integrity.

There has been talk on this thread about circumcision. This may have been originally a form of symbolic castration. Possibly the rise of the male was accompanied by an increase in testosterone levels, which have reached such unacceptable proportions today that we read posts here calling for a cull of the alpha males. Back then, the phallus was the only weapon men had to get a foothold on life, and the cult of the obelisk continues to provide evidence that the macho society is very much living in the past.

13, Apollo, Moon, obelisk: Apollo 13, the triangle on top of the Saturn V obelisk, marked the failed meeting of the sun god and the moon goddess. On the symbolic level, this is the true story of the moon adventure, and understandably many people see the ‘successful’ missions as being necessarily a hoax.

The top god in the new patriarchy was Zeus, Jupiter in Latin, also called Jove. You see the link to Jehovah/Yahweh). Zeus and his thunderbolts was possibly a Velikovskian age of Jupiter, but in any case not a sun god, presumably because the next biggest deity in the night sky after the moon goddess. The sun god of daylight was Phoebus Apollo.

The modern God, Deus, is likely a conflation of Zeus and Apollo. He has still not resolved his differences with the divine feminine, or, to put it another way, got over the trauma of earlier times. He has inherited from the male priesthood serving the queenship vicariously, while dressed in feminine robes. The pope is the Vicar of Christ and I would suggest that his unreasonable refusal to accept women priests is only explicable if we see this role being played by male priestesses.

I have mentioned elsewhere how the Reformation was over the role of women, the Catholic cult of the Virgin Mary, against Puritanism and its outright rejection of the divine feminine. The Virgin Mary is itself a puritan version of the divine feminine, of which the Mary Magdalen angle would be the full-blown version. See below:


There is a little more to the Mary Magdalen story than this smear campaign. It involves the identifying of her too with a mythical figure, namely what Robert Graves calls the Triple Goddess or the White Goddess, and which the poet Ted Hughes applies to a sizeable chunk of Shakespeare in Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being. This is a lengthy explanation whose thesis is that Shakespeare was using the theatre as a ploy to expose his Catholic views at a time when Puritanism was persecuting Catholics. Simplifying outrageously, the eternal feminine (the Goddess of Complete Being), he says, was the major battleground at this time, espoused by Catholicism and rejected by Puritanism. She comprises at once the mother figure, the pure bride and the whore (representing her sexuality), which are not separable without leading to tragedy. Several plays explore different failures to reconcile these aspects of woman. For example, Othello, who loves his loving wife, kills the whore; or Hamlet, whose hesitation is because killing the whore also means killing his mother, while facing this dilemma collapses his relationship with his chaste bride Ophelia, whom he packs off to a nunnery; you get the picture.

From this perspective, misogynistic Pauline Christianity corresponds to Puritanism and counterintuitively Catholicism would be its heretical offshoot – the main difference being the acknowledged importance of women, with the emphasis on Mary the mother, Mary Magdalen the bride and sexual partner. It is somewhat ironic that the Catholic Church is criticized today for manifestly not doing enough for women. And back in the Elizabethan era, at a time when people were getting hanged, drawn and quartered for this major difference of opinion, Shakespeare was a whistle-blower and spiritual guide of the first order, using the fiction of the theatre to speak some unsavory truths.

This myth is often to be found in modern fiction as well. In French, Mary Magdalen is Marie Madeleine. Thus in Proust’s In Search of Lost Time, she is a central mythical figure, not only for the famous madeleine cake and tea episode and its discreet connection with the narrator’s mother, but also the connection with his lover, alternating chasteness and promiscuity and stirring love and jealousy. This is also the theme of James Joyce’s Ulysses, whose hero, Leopold Bloom, copes rather better with the sometimes unfaithful goddess figure he is married to. And the theme can be traced through The Arabian Nights in which the wife is fighting for her life all the way back to The Odyssey, in which the man is fighting for his wife.

So there was a whole lot going on long before Dan Brown came on the scene to popularize the story. We need to see the power of myth not simply as a way of spreading disinformation about real individuals but also as the universal relevance given to universal issues. Learning the truth about Mary Magdalen can help remove the smears to the individual; it can also help us deal with this endless issue of male violence due to (over)possessiveness, incomprehension and ultimately fear of the fair sex.

Oops!!! enfoldenblue, I didn’t know you were planning to make an announcement.

I caught your article on ZenGardner’s site, Discernment – Navigating The Spiritual Minefield (http://www.zengardner.com/discernment-navigating-spiritual-minefield/). I recognized some of the points from your Discernment (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?57947-Discernment&p=659421&viewfull=1#post659421) thread. That OP was informative and I kept it.

From the May article, I learned of your book. I wanted to post the news back then, but figured that it wasn’t my place. After your post last evening, I though it deserved a plug in case you didn’t feel it was appropriate to advertise.

Ugh. Sometimes one has to be a snot if one is a mod, go chasing trolls. I'm getting better at it, but it still tires me out, I have to withdraw for a few days afterwards, retreat. I don't want that side of me to get too strong. Balance. I'm Libran, and I want balance.

The Village gives me that. :) I can strip off my armor, sink into the village healing pool, and come back to mySelf.

I'm sitting out on the deck. I've filled the birdbath (It is so dry, I refill the bird bath three times a day). The birds have their seed, need to refill the pot for seed.

The garden below is returning to jungle. The previous owner created a lovely English garden, but she was out in the garden every day, and had a gardener come every week. And it is water intensive. But we have SO many birds, and that is what we love best.

It is getting scary dry here. I see dead trees, dying trees, and all the trees look dry and stressed. Every time I go out on deck, I visualize wet, dripping, steady rain, I pray to the water devas for rain.

It rained last night for a bit. :)

Tomorrow is 4th of July. My sister's birthday, and my bro-in-law's birthday.

I'll be making potato salad later today to go with the chicken BBQ. Potatoes, red onion, celery, dill pickles, olives, cilantro and parsley, mustard and mayo. Yum yum. Found organic everything except the pickles.

Chance of rain tomorrow night. Please intend a downpour with me. :)

Water shimmering in the bird bath... A breeze.

Sierra, I’ve not missed much of what you’ve written across the forum in support, clarification and information. Your post #112 (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?83133-The-Corey-Goode-affair-various-updates-from-David-Wilcock&p=974318&viewfull=1#post974318) helped it clicked into a different place for me about Milabs and all the levels of possibilities. And as a way of synchronicity, you added a bluebird - multiple personality (http://www.wanttoknow.info/bluebird10pg) link from wanttoknow.info. I ‘happened’ to peruse the site that morning. One, I hadn’t visited for about 9 months.

“Corey admits that his mind and memory have been tampered with by the Milab programs.

Corey is out to gather Milabs back under the control of those who created them. Corey takes part in events of evil towards others, against his own will, I am utterly certain.

Consider what happens to those Milabs captured once more. You think a slap on the hand? You think oh pushing Corey does no harm? No damage? What does that say about one who believes a fairy story is harmless or real? What is the distraction of pie in the sky, and what is the purpose?”

Enjoy your family and the 4th of July celebration. :hug:

Here’s to breezes and rain in birdbaths and a gentle, deep soaking for her lands.

Am I the only one who hears "music" when the fan is on?
The first time i thought the neighboor was listening to some bad radio station (here you can fart loudly and they'll probably hear it... In fact sometimes I hear my neighboors snoring :ROFL:!) And when i turned it off the sounds from the radio were gone. So i walked through the appartment, got to the balcony etc to find out where the music came from, but nothing.
I turned the thing on again and there it was: sounds, music like. :D
The thing is made of plastic but somehow creates different resonances and after a couple of seconds if you are at the right angle you'll hear sounds, like when a radio station is not tuned properly and you hear bits and pieces of different melodies that are a bit chaotic in combination with one another but the little pieces sound nice. This sounds are not as loud as the fan's humming of course, but are not dufficult to hear at all.
Oh, i don't do drugs (just in case you are wondering).
And... " I'm not crazy! My mother got me tested!"

Friday night in Germany and it is very hot.
I like this night. I dont know why I am so happy (it's good, i am not complaining).
The moon the lasts days was amazing and so bright. my ventilator is on and it helps a lot with the heat. Hence the fan sounds and music Question

No music, Noir. My left ear is blocked up again. I say again because out of the blue for about 6, 7, 8 months it went silent. Without warning, it came back on line. Though, I do hear a high pitched sound in the inner ears. (even in the blocked one)

What's happening at my place is I hear thumps and knocks and things falling. Sometimes, I feel a vibration. And it can be day or night.

So now I just pass along a 'hello'. :bigsmile:

No, thanks, PL. I ran a quick search on ear candling. The articles I read were negative. I may consider it after watching this video, but first, I’ll try hydrogen peroxide.

Hi Running Deer!
The problem with your ears sounds very strange. What the doctor said? Or what does your intuition says?
The high pitched tones i know too. But in my case it could be tinnitus, IDK
because since a few years i got ear infections very often but luckily not anymore. They stopped.

The thumps and knocks and hearing things falling happen a lot around me. In every place i lived this happened. Sometimes if I have visit they get nervous and a bit scared about it. For me is normal, i think it is energy stored in things that makes the noises. Now in the last months it has got a bit stronger though. It increases at night.

Purple Lama, thanks for the warm welcome!
And yes, i believe you that there is much warmer.

I wish you guys a nice weekend.

Thanks, Noir. It’s helpful confirmation that the knocks and thumps you hear are louder of late. It was mostly at night, too. But it’s changed. Part of me feels it’s our energy and dimensions merging with the unseen other(s). There’s also an increase of peripheral activity. I’d quickly check to let them know I’m aware. But now, I send out a thought-hello.

Last evening and this morning, my ear crackled and tickled when I used hydrogen peroxide. As for what my intuition says about the hearing? It’s fine. I haven’t even raised it to nuisance status. At one level, I see it that it’s the only quirky thing going. For that I’m appreciative.

At another level, because it’s the left ear/side, I see it as me not wanting to hear what’s happening in the world. The one that takes life in linear and sequential fashion. Whereas as the right, receives the whole to build upon.

At another level, it is a barometer for a deeper clean-out of hidden feelings. And still another, it’s about what’s the next thing in my diet to eliminate? Or it’s a metaphor for tuning out or at least dialing down the mind-chatter. One last one, I use it as an indicator for a re-balance of energy. I’m working on that.

Enjoy your weekend, as well. :wave:

It may be a near miss in a nearby timeline, or on this one..but the democratic candidate had better watch out today. My dreams are never wrong.

But that is what happens when one has a quadruple conjunction and a triple conjunction in one's birth chart. The nature of time and dimensional flow, in this spot, in this place...is ingrained in the given incarnate.

Speaking about them can change the outcome, which is why people tend to not believe those who see through time. It's the wave particle paradox, in temporal dimensional vision sense. Most seriously, exactly that.

If you look at a particle, it becomes fixed on one spot. If it is unobserved, it is in two places at once. Thus, to speak about recall in the timeless sense, out of time and across timelines, or what have you, is to fix it into one spot and make it real, or to steer past and around it, depending on the type of projection of reality.

As for such a scenario as is considered here, things are changing ---due to Bernie Sanders. Big time.

To 'fix' a situation for Jebb-siders (Teakochbaggerheads) warmonger black ops secret society types, and to commit an act that solves multiple problems in one shot (the mark of the hidden hand), they need to have the population fixate on someone besides the demo candidate and the associated Bernie directed vote bleed out from their support base... and then rile up their support base to reject Sanders with a bunch of filthy lying crap words and promises (the norm).... which is easy to do if just Sanders remains as a serious threat to their stealing the vote.

Dear Beautiful People, :sun:

Please forgive me if this may feel like a bit of a rock dropped in this very quiet and beautiful pond. :flower:

But I am lately given to realize that some public clarification may be needed. I've just posted this here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?78116-RECORD-of-MODERATOR-ACTIONS&p=975050&viewfull=1#post975050), on the RECORD OF MODERATOR ACTIONS thread:





Natalia (formerly Amethyst) has had her status changed from 'retired' to 'unsubscribed' — the euphemism we use for 'banned', which we always feel is a rather violent word. I made the call myself today.

This statement was necessary to inform all members that her actions since leaving the forum, which we tried to transition with kindness, have continued to cause damage and hurt. The error in being kind was mine, and I take full responsibility. It would also be a learning point now for Natalie to take full responsibility for her various (and continued) mistakes and poor decisions.

I apologize on behalf of all the mods if we've been considered to have dropped the ball in any way. (Sometimes we do, of course.) Protecting the forum, and its members, in particular longstanding ones who are most greatly loved and valued, is always, rightly, our foremost priority.

Well, I just checked the forum rankings the other day (alexa), literally... and the forum remains solidly in a norm of a standing, at about #40k in the usa, and at about 91k in the global ranking of websites. Pretty well where it's been for a few years.

Speaking about them can change the outcome, which is why people tend to not believe those who see through time. It's the wave particle paradox, in temporal dimensional vision sense. Most seriously, exactly that.

If you look at a particle, it becomes fixed on one spot. If it is unobserved, it is in two places at once. Thus, to speak about recall in the timeless sense, out of time and across timelines, or what have you, is to fix it into one spot and make it real, or to steer past and around it, depending on the type of projection of reality.

As for such a scenario as is considered here, things are changing ---due to Bernie Sanders. Big time.

To 'fix' a situation for Jebb-siders (Teakochbaggerheads) warmonger black ops secret society types, and to commit an act that solves multiple problems in one shot (the mark of the hidden hand), they need to have the population fixate on someone besides the demo candidate and the associated Bernie directed vote bleed out from their support base... and then rile up their support base to reject Sanders with a bunch of filthy lying crap words and promises (the norm).... which is easy to do if just Sanders remains as a serious threat to their stealing the vote.

Thinking about it gives it some direction,
speaking it out loud even more so,
and writing it down is better still.

And discussing it as a group, with a unified vision,
means the issue will have the desired outcome.
Especially if all the members of that group are of higher consciousness,
beyond all duality, within themselves.
This is how it all works.
And this is what is coming under constant attack here, on this forum,
and on this thread, when it is infiltrated by people with an opposing,
and disunifying and self-centered agenda.

I am grateful to Bill for his clarification above of this serious matter.

And to you, Carmody, as always, for showing us the nitty gritty workings of these dynamics.

Well, I just checked the forum rankings the other day (alexa), literally... and the forum remains solidly in a norm of a standing, at about #40k in the usa, and at about 91k in the global ranking of websites. Pretty well where it's been for a few years.
That's a good level to be steady at, but my reading of the graph is that the forum was doing a whole lot better last year, up until October. Now what happened to cause that drop? Yeah, OK.

Hi Pauler (and Noir, welcome to Avalon!)

When my ears ache, I use hydrogen peroxide, and then rubbing alcohol, repeat as needed. I asked my audiologist at the time, and she said it was perfectly safe.

Hi Sierra!
Thanks for the welcome.

About the ears, hydrogen peroxide is good against infections and stuff alike. I 've used it many times. Just don't go too deep because it is not good when it gets on your eardrum.
Alcohol dissolves fat and therefore is good to clean when you have lots of excess wax but if you over do it, could dry the inner skin too much, brake it and create eczema in your ears. Those get very itchy and often infected so please be carefull. I used to have those problems and it is no fun.
One drop or two of olive oil in your ear will help you to restore and protect the dry skin in case of eczema, aliviate the itching and prevent the formation of more eczema. That's a tip I got from a very good doctor that told me olive oil is much better than the expensive creams and cortisones the other doctors were giving me.
There's also other oils that are good and have antibacterial properties like camomille and lavender i think. I have yet not tried those because for me olive works very well and I always have it in my kitchen.
What else? Ah, yes.. For people that have lots of ears problems like me, Q-tips are taboo and forbidden.

What also helps me to keep my ears healthy (believe it or not) is doing a nose shower with salt water often. This also helps you to feel better if you have pollen alergies and stuff.

I hope some of this tips help somebody.

[Carmody]

make a 2-3-4 drop mms mixture.

dilute it with distilled water. maybe 2-3 oz (50-60ml)

Put that in a small hand held mister-sprayer.

Mist into nostril while inhaling.

A good way to get rid of a sinus infection, or deal with the deeper parts of an ear infection. recall that the eye tear ducts drain into the sinuses, so it can be functional with some eye issues as well, regarding the deeper parts that are otherwise impossible to deal with.

Or to use as a throat spray, to knock out colds and upper respiratory tract infections.

Various forms of halitosis, etc.. can be dealt a very serious blow. Gargling with a mixture does help halitosis, in a way, but the problem is that it is in the top of the lung passage...so...

Much appreciation, PurpleLama, Sierra, Noir and Carmody. Hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, MMS, extra virgin olive oil and neti pot…all supplies I have on hand.

For those new to the neti pot (nose shower), here’s a demo video. I purchased the kit, i.e., the pot and salt packets, at the grocery store. It’s been awhile but I believe the kit ran about $10.

[Meggings]

As someone with a lifetime of ear infections, I have found these things helpful (I like the neti pot use too):

I have tremendously good results using 2 drops MMS (activated) with a little bit of water. I soak a cotton ball in this and apply to skin sores or rashes. At times I will even tape the wet cotton ball over the rash. I would not hesitate to put this into my ear by dropper, since it would go down the eustachian tube and ease that as well.

When I had bad ear infection this past winter I soaked organic garlic in castor oil and had someone drop that oil (NOT any garlic though) into my ear.

[ThePythonicCow]

Gender, sexuality, abuse and feminism wars, US Supreme court cases over gay marriage, knocking Brendan Eich out of Mozilla's CEO position (a year ago), petitioning Reddit CEO Ellen Pao to step down, provocations involving sexuality, lies, claims of abuse, hidden real abuse, transgender whistleblower Chelsea Manning and decathlon athlete Caitlyn Jenner, British political pedophile coverups, etc, etc ...

There are many ways in which the bastards in power are stoking the fires of rage and distrust. Besides the well known cases involving racial and religious divides, American neocon drone strikes and so many other variants of exported tyranny, death and fraud, unarmed blacks being shot in the back by white cops, false flag massacres by drugged patsies and "Arabs with boxcutters", poisoning of the food, water, air and medicines, ... in addition, gender, sexuality, and child abuse are used to stoke these fires raging in humanity.

The humans and the organizations of human civilization that have been damaged by earlier programs over recent decades are now being harvested to tear society apart at its seams.

One of ten thousand homes damaged in a large hurricane was not specifically "targeted" by that hurricane. Rather a large storm swept across the coast and country side, wrecking death and destruction in its wake.

This forum, and the good people of many delightfully varied sorts who pass by here, are not immune from this damage, and some who come this way, such as some recently banned members, are, for the present at least, amplifying the harm more than they are providing healing, shelter or understanding.

(I was more offended by Brendan Eich's dismissal than most, as I had worked personally with him ... and knew him to be an incredibly capable person. He would go on to create Javascript.)

[Marianne]

Paul, your understanding and wisdom are right on.

I add my heartfelt thanks to Bill and the mods and key Avalon members for their action and help in this, which I trust is now over and behind us.

My words to Paul earlier today.... Avalon is the best. And taking away from our unity/community is a high goal of those who wish us harm. The power of our hanging together is more clear to me than it's ever been.

I agree about everything in your post Sierra. It makes me want to avoid them at any price, even if I do have a lot of consideration and appreciation for most of those on TOT. This is real sad.

I must first say that most on the other forum were very thorough and did research the last unsubscribed Avalon member, Unikorn, and did not let him have a free ride with his behavior here. Which is quite ethical.

However, I also know that Natalie lies, that she is caught in a real "me the poor victim" mantra while in fact putting something that feels like thick glue (it is how it makes me feel, not good really) on others. Ash, ...

I had been kind enough not to say anything up to now, but yes, I read some of her posts on the other forum, under Sophia, and now, I have to speak up.

I have seen some of her very sexually provocative pictures on posts - we are a few women here who asked her very comprehensively and gently to take those down (although she was not completely naked on those I saw). Avalon is just not the place for this.

It may be a near miss in a nearby timeline, or on this one..but the democratic candidate had better watch out today. My dreams are never wrong.

But that is what happens when one has a quadruple conjunction and a triple conjunction in one's birth chart. The nature of time and dimensional flow, in this spot, in this place...is ingrained in the given incarnate.

Speaking about them can change the outcome, which is why people tend to not believe those who see through time. It's the wave particle paradox, in temporal dimensional vision sense. Most seriously, exactly that.

If you look at a particle, it becomes fixed on one spot. If it is unobserved, it is in two places at once. Thus, to speak about recall in the timeless sense, out of time and across timelines, or what have you, is to fix it into one spot and make it real, or to steer past and around it, depending on the type of projection of reality.

As for such a scenario as is considered here, things are changing ---due to Bernie Sanders. Big time.

Thank you Ulli. And to demonstrate, a contrario, how a breakaway site, born out of divisiveness, ultimately does not prosper, posting at TOT is down to a trickle, from a mere dozen members or so at any one time. Here is a screenshot from just now.

...and also that the promises of unlimited freedom of expression often turn out to deliver an opposite reality.

Our mods, on the other hand, have shown that sticking to rules that all agree on is actually keeping it all flowing.

[Carmody]

Not all seekers of truth and carriers of society and cultures, are violently opinionated blowhards.

As a matter of fact, the opposite is true.

When you have a mosh pit for a 'freedom of behavior and act' space, all you get is a mosh pit. where a small group dominate the other potential members and contributors, dominate with their extremist behaviors and acts. this does not solve anything. In fact, it moves in the opposite direction.

Note that most of society, even those in the room, those who wish to contribute, and do, just like a dance scene/club...most of those people stay far away from the given mosh pit.

Helping a society and culture shift itself involves the whole mass, not a few who are in extremis. The extremes are the problem and engaging them is the problem. It violates the sanctity and existence of the general mass and bounces off of the masses -as if the extremism, the outlier... did not exist.

The reality is that the extremism of the 'anything goes --mosh pit ruled forums' is not going to engage the requisite people/masses.... and to do that, to engage the larger group.. a forum must have rules involving sense and sensibility.

History has taught us that this would be case of a closed forum, with moderation, and ejecting of misbehaving people, those who disturb the peace. quiet is required for people to think,and to absorb and to change. The violence in communication engages only the animal in humans which is already foaming at the mouth (animal monkey talk) and it brings nothing new to the conversation, and no increase to the numbers of the aware.

People are not aware that they are driven in their thinking and thought formation by the animal and body imperatives. People don't understand this as their body's safety and immediate future are functional in an environment... where they don't need to be aware of this wiring and thought formation reality.

A forum with heavy negative emotional thrusts does nothing for enlightenment of the masses, it does nothing for the shifting of society and culture, for all these various reasons, and more. The most effective writers in the alternative field are those who delivery highly stressing material in a clear unemotional manner. Like Jim Marrs, for example.

Thus, again, the clarity in the logic of what a human is at this time, on this planet.... is that closed moderated forums, like this one, are the best bet for helping humanity, reaching people, engaging people... helping them reach new plateaus in understanding what this world and this reality actually is. The current state of the reactive psychology and physiology of humanity... demands it be of this form.

Great post, Carmody. All that crackle noise gets old really quick. I’m appreciative of when the mods and forum members together help each of us to discover blind spots. We all gain from a supportive environment. One to think, and to absorb and to change.

When there’s a rinse and repeat behavior one would benefit if they step back to see the pattern. Break free of it. Or at least be honest with yourself.

See that the pay-off is a negative, lonely one. Look around. If the same behavior is done with ever-changing groups or friends, note that people catch on. The game gets old right-quick.

Be kind to yourself. Be a quick study. Grow. Move beyond. Shake it off. Do not consent like you wouldn’t consent to a mind program, a tag or an implant. Shake it off.

Growth is willingness to let go of what worked yesterday and see it’s an anchor today. Hitch a ride on to wisdom path.

With heart,
RunningDeer<3

Dear Here-And-Nowers--

My reaction to Natalie's posts very early on was the strong desire to slap her upside the head. Later on--but rather quickly--I wanted to drop-kick her off the forum.

The extremely high level of patience and loving support given to Natalie on this thread blew my mind, and the moderators' continuing high level of loving patience also blows my mind.

I don't post much, but I want to tell you that I have lots of love and respect for you all and follow this thread and your musings and doings with great interest and quiet support.

I thank my lucky stars to have found you. Bless you all. :heart:

Hello Carmody and all ~ village life seems to has it's great strength in the human interactions, the friendship, the perceptions and sharing of the village people. It is an appreciated place of exchange and support and I enjoy peeping into it. I would like to share something as well, acknowledging the openess and acceptance of the mature souls participating.

Within the 'freedon of behaviour and act' space, there is this special category that is quite difficult to talk about, it is not known and can not so much be detected or understood if fortunately the act of severe trauma did not visit one's life. It must not be easy to watch (or recieve) a volcano of emotions overtaking a person and not being quite sure where it comes from.. so inappropriately acted, so out of place, and with the knowledge that the person missed an opportunity to work on themselves.. (aren't we all here for that purpose as well..?)

In previous months to a year I happened to observe on this forum, the deliberate activation of a certain member by another (quite popular) member who is not with us anymore, with percise trigerring to activate the desired response, while both the reciever and the rest of the 'audience' are not aware to the 'job' well done, but the chain of reactions begins from there..

Sometimes misbehaving has it's roots at different places.. but the result makes someone else very happy.

I see it's not always fun to part of the in crowd. I see why I don't go there. Too messy, too many expectations. Not enough of me to go around.

Glad its all sorted out anyway.

Was wondering why there were so few posts these last few weeks. Now I know. Thanks.

ToT? Don't know what that stands for - and I think I should. The One Truth! I know that site. Visited once. It was not Avalon so I did not go back. Even though there were people there whom I respect and admire - I did not feel safe there.

At least here we are protected.

It's the leadership, you know?, that makes all the difference.

Bill is one heck of a leader - and he has a sterling cast of moderators to back him up and make him look good!

That's why I'm here and keep coming back. I may not be part of the inner circle but I know they are there and if ever I need something truly important, I know I would be heard and helped.
That's more than my own family is willing to do. Avalon is more my family than my family.

But they treat me the same. So that part is on me, I know.

[Sierra]

Carmody, RunningDeer, Genevieve (and Limor on more than one thread, lol):

Thank you for your clarity. It has shed light with some internal struggles I have, being a mod. I begin to realize my animal feelings don't matter in a way. Trolls/Disinfo agents need to be confronted, and if they confirm by their response, they are trolls/disinfo/persistence in ignorance, shown the door.


Helping a society and culture shift itself involves the whole mass, not a few who are in extremis. The extremes are the problem and engaging them is the problem. It violates the sanctity and existence of the general mass and bounces off of the masses -as if the extremism, the outlier... did not exist.


History has taught us that this would be [the] case of a closed forum, with moderation, and ejecting of misbehaving people, those who disturb the peace. quiet is required for people to think,and to absorb and to change. The violence in communication...


... and it brings nothing new to the conversation, and no increase to the numbers of the aware.

There is a need for moderation. It is what it is. So... My gut knew, and now my mind understands, better, what my animal gut/nature does, and why. I also see what my goal is in future dealings with trolls: dispassion.


Be kind to yourself. Be a quick study. Grow. Move beyond. Shake it off. Do not consent like you wouldn’t consent to a mind program, a tag or an implant. Shake it off.

Growth is willingness to let go of what worked yesterday and see it’s an anchor today. Hitch a ride on to wisdom path.

I admire your dispassion. :)

It is such a balancing act, between loving support, and blocking the verbally violent or untruthful, who as Limor points out, are people deserving of kindness too.

Death of the west, rise of the east. No more needs to be said on this. Watch it happen. Most are begging for it. The grass is always greener...

Replacing the natural with artificial. Artificial will then become virtual. Hoping to create a new hologram for the mind to live within. They don't need the body for their goals.

They do recognize they cannot hold dominion over her, and so the mission is to get us floating.

I am happy it comes from Wade Frazier thread, the intent is probably positive, because this looks very much like a floating city. And this is what I read about the intent of the Highest Cabal, following The Ruiner posts on his blog


Death of the west, rise of the east. No more needs to be said on this. Watch it happen. Most are begging for it. The grass is always greener...

Replacing the natural with artificial. Artificial will then become virtual. Hoping to create a new hologram for the mind to live within. They don't need the body for their goals.

They do recognize they cannot hold dominion over her, and so the mission is to get us floating.

I’m afraid I agree with the negative comments. This may be a vast improvement on the typical high-rise, but that is as far as it goes. The building itself is made to look alive: that’s what the word ‘animation’ means. On the other hand the greenery is made to look pretty dead. Try and picture all the various aspects of our communing with nature, often rather humdrum and hands-on: kids kicking a football, young lovers sitting together, householders hanging out washing, picking fruit off trees, strawberries or vegetables or roses out of a bed, walking up a mountain, by a river or along the coast., taking in unusual smells, getting your feet and hands muddy, skiing through snow or singing in the rain. This place would make a nice garden for an old people’s home or a psychiatric hospital, or for office workers to eat a sandwich.

I much prefer the ‘half an acre and a cow’ model. They say the entire population could find space in Texas. There is plenty of space around the globe for everyone to live on terra firma if they so wish. Let China take over from America and do bigger and better if they can, but let them do it without the rest of us. America has shown how to do bigger than old Europe and failed to do better. Europe hasn’t disappeared for all that, and nor will America. After China, there is no bigger domino to take this little game and there are by now so many smaller dominoes lined up to put an end to this nonsense. We are reaching the stage where the tiniest domino will be sufficient to collapse the entire edifice.

Wow, the mainstream press is sounding more and more like a conspiracy forum:


Yet it’s important not to respond with our own projection and imagine humanity in people who feel none. Your ruling class don’t care about what happens to you.

They don’t care about things like education. They feel there needs to be enough provision so that prostitutes are numerate enough to find hotel rooms, and that’s it.

This isn’t austerity; it’s a transfer of assets from public to private ownership. One of the main advantages of the word “austerity” is that it suggests a gradual process, when, in reality, we are caught under the wheels of a chariot.

We live in a society that doesn’t even care to address the fact that the planet is dying.

This is a budget that will result in people with disabilities dying, not as an unfortunate side-effect, but as a direct consequence of a system that is empirically indifferent to life.

Being on a yacht is, at best, like being in a Premier Inn during an earthquake. So why is it an entrance requirement for the super-rich? Because it provides a floating crime scene. You and your jaded friends can now take your parties into international waters. You can stop off at the Channel Islands and take onboard a consignment of orphans who will afterwards be thrown into the giant beak-like mouths of the blasphemous undersea deities that you all worship.

Later, the boat rocks slightly and you assume that the body has been dropped overboard and something has risen to feed on it.

You step out on to the deck, where there is an eerie, humid calm. There is a thought in the heart of every addict. It is universal, but we all think it’s unique to just us. It is: “I am no damn good.” Every rich person has a secret thought at their centre too, and now that I think about it the two must be related. You reach for it here for comfort. It is: “The next thing I get will make me happy.”

Beneath the boat, and stretching out for miles on every side, there floats the monstrous eye of Ry’lleth, the Great UnMaker. The eye is obscene, unblinking, and the unique black of arterial blood. You would have said, if you didn’t know better, that it regarded you with something like pity.

Agreed. They've just summed up rather poetically everything we have been saying here on thousands of thread.
Let's hope there will be a trickle down effect.

As far as "Adelaide, amore mio, in the next election vote Communist Party" -- I am old enough to remember the half dozen or more bombings that our CIA-repressed "free press" explained had been done by the Commies in Italy.

Then during the Church hearings in the Congress, it came out that it was our own CIA behind the bombings. (And no apologies at all offered to those who died on account of these.)

Not all seekers of truth and carriers of society and cultures, are violently opinionated blowhards.

As a matter of fact, the opposite is true.

When you have a mosh pit for a 'freedom of behavior and act' space, all you get is a mosh pit. where a small group dominate the other potential members and contributors, dominate with their extremist behaviors and acts. this does not solve anything. In fact, it moves in the opposite direction.

Note that most of society, even those in the room, those who wish to contribute, and do, just like a dance scene/club...most of those people stay far away from the given mosh pit.

Helping a society and culture shift itself involves the whole mass, not a few who are in extremis. The extremes are the problem and engaging them is the problem. It violates the sanctity and existence of the general mass and bounces off of the masses -as if the extremism, the outlier... did not exist.

The reality is that the extremism of the 'anything goes --mosh pit ruled forums' is not going to engage the requisite people/masses.... and to do that, to engage the larger group.. a forum must have rules involving sense and sensibility.

History has taught us that this would be case of a closed forum, with moderation, and ejecting of misbehaving people, those who disturb the peace. quiet is required for people to think,and to absorb and to change. The violence in communication engages only the animal in humans which is already foaming at the mouth (animal monkey talk) and it brings nothing new to the conversation, and no increase to the numbers of the aware.

People are not aware that they are driven in their thinking and thought formation by the animal and body imperatives. People don't understand this as their body's safety and immediate future are functional in an environment... where they don't need to be aware of this wiring and thought formation reality.

A forum with heavy negative emotional thrusts does nothing for enlightenment of the masses, it does nothing for the shifting of society and culture, for all these various reasons, and more. The most effective writers in the alternative field are those who delivery highly stressing material in a clear unemotional manner. Like Jim Marrs, for example.

Thus, again, the clarity in the logic of what a human is at this time, on this planet.... is that closed moderated forums, like this one, are the best bet for helping humanity, reaching people, engaging people... helping them reach new plateaus in understanding what this world and this reality actually is. The current state of the reactive psychology and physiology of humanity... demands it be of this form.

Thanks for the post Carmody. To make cooperative communication even more difficult over the forum medium is the lack of face to face communication. It's too easy to misunderstand another when tone and visual cues of the utterance are not part of the communication, even when there is no intended slight. The forum medium lends itself to egregious in-adherence to the cooperative principle of communication as laid forth by the four Gricean maxims of successful communication.

http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~haroldfs/dravling/grice.html
1.The maxim of quantity, where one tries to be as informative as one possibly can, and gives as much information as is needed, and no more.
2.The maxim of quality, where one tries to be truthful, and does not give information that is false or that is not supported by evidence.
3.The maxim of relation, where one tries to be relevant, and says things that are pertinent to the discussion.
4. The maxim of manner, when one tries to be as clear, as brief, and as orderly as one can in what one says, and where one avoids obscurity and ambiguity.

I enjoy your exactitude, directness and informativeness of communication on a consistent basis. It has been most beneficial for me. I will say that it would be, for me, most difficult to moderate those whose communications are laden with many possible interpretations and meanings. Whether a mis/disinformed, false, irrelevant or ambiguous meaning was intended or not, via this communicative medium the negative possibility of an unsuccessful utterance is latent, and, therefore, is, if another thinks such. That is precisely one reason why I have not read Aleister Crowley in a decade, and why I do not engage in a lot of discourse on the forum. The risk of unsuccessful communication is high. It is most difficult to adhere to the maxims on a forum.

Thank you Playdo for the above. This is all very sound and an excellent reason for leaving Crowley alone, but the forum as well?

The reason why we have to persist in trying to improve our communications skills is that the alternative is much more fraught with danger still. If I had to sum up the big picture of humanity’s plight at this time in one pithy phrase, it would be ‘silence means consent’. You see, even if you say nothing, that is going to be interpreted very wrongly. Worse: in a sense, this interpretation is not wrong at all. People are racist until they start talking to someone, then they make an exception for that person; they meet a few more and eventually the racist remarks will be said only in jest, before drying up altogether. Your neighbor may seem objectionable from the other side of the fence, but get to know him, you will probably find he is a decent enough character, and the day you have a problem with him he is more likely to listen if you have got to know each other a little first.

So your maxims for communication are OK as far as they go, but they have nothing to say about feedback and feedback to that feedback. Breakdowns in communication are always at that level (indeed there is no communication until a reader or listener is involved): a simple misunderstanding is misunderstood instead of being explored and you soon have an argument on yours hands. This comes from dogmatism: people consider their words so right they should be carved in stone, but that is a form of insecurity. Wise words are never carved in stone when adjusted to the here and now; it takes a little courage to let them flow. You don’t like what I just said? OK, no big deal, I’ll try something different. The world’s troubles are the work of dogmatic, insecure people pontificating about things and people they haven’t got to know. To understand is not always to love or accept, but loving always involves understanding.

Take for example Freudian psychology. The Oedipus complex is based entirely on the father’s influence on the son. There is no feedback: the father doesn’t even know his own son; the joys of parenthood and the myriad ways a child can change a parent are foreign to him. With this brick wall of a father, the son can only turn the other way and repeat the pattern with the next generation. Withdrawal on both sides means a total lack of communication and gets you nowhere; it gets you stuck in a rut. Engagement is the only way forward. It gets easier when you build up an understanding, a relationship, but you have to make a start when it’s toughest.

This is why forum posting is my preferred medium, over blogging and writing books, and responding to a post in preference to starting a thread: it is real two-way communication – multiway when others join in. It may be a daunting task, but fortunately there are many levels at which to begin the process. One’s intellectual understanding need not be brilliant as long as there is emotional understanding (genuine interest and concern). Which is where the Here and Now thread comes in, because it lowers the threshold for joining (and subsequently elevating) this type of communication. The simplest matters work just as well.

PS. Not to interfere, but if verflücht is supposed to be a ten letter cuss word, then I think you would need to spell it verfluecht! :)

There is no such word as verflücht, nor verfluecht, in the German language.

And an astrology 'proof', as it is directly tied to resonance modes of the elastic and flow-pressured system of solar output, and field interaction, of the whole mess. The galactic system, the solar system, the dimensional system, the planetary system, and so on.

Resonance. Elastic magnetic, voltage, and thus physical, and phononic, and thus astrology and ley/vortex lines.

NASA data shows surfer-shaped waves in near-Earth space (http://phys.org/news/2015-07-nasa-surfer-shaped-near-earth-space.html)

The black center of the upper image, is the earth. Those are the energetic fields which surround the earth, in a snapshot of said flow. (as a computer generated image)

if you spin the earth and see the fields in 3D, and stand on the earth, you would see a patterned vortex (I/O) training behind, in the darkest of the night. The witching hour. Then the ascendant leading pressure rainbow (field/dimension splitting -resonance, firing like a reed) zone would also be more obvious.

Did not know about Donk. Well, that handle was quite negative, but he had the gumption to explain it.

As for natalia (from the same moderators action thread), this thing seems to have exploded (straws and camels and all that) at the moment that Ulli mentioned some support for me while (just after), er, some were asking her to cool her jets a bit.

I said I met (ran into) someone who was impossibly perfect, and whom gave me a very nasty look.

I think Ulli got it (what that meant), right away.

to explain....Impossibly perfect is the thing that Ingo Swann spoke of in 'Penetration'. Representations of physicality that appear very human but are impossibly perfected.

Whether I get what you are saying, or not, depends entirely on my own current state of mind.
I can be impossibly imperfect, especially here in Barbados, where everyone I know likes to remind me of every wart.
My past is imperfect, and being held up against me at every turn.
So there is that word again, PAST.
Meaning 'let's forget who we are here and now'.
I wish I could turn this into a therapy session, and be more specific, but it's a public forum, and I respect people's right to privacy, whether they are obnoxious or saintly.

The real surprise to me was when many years ago I discovered that there was a simultaneous effect
at various levels.
Not just cause and effect...
But all energies interacting at once.
Otherwise distance would be an issue, as cannot possibly be the case in Pluto effects.
Pluto is so far away, yet so exact and timely in its instantaneous reach.

Hi all,

I noticed Ulli copied this video over from a post I made elsewhere.

(By the way Ulli, I replied to your response (about the temple) over there. It got me smiling.)

Interesting reading some of your comments (Carmody, Nat_Lee, Flash, araucaria...)

For what it's worth - I posted the video at the end of a much larger post about a book by the late former astronaut and free energy advocate/explorer Brian O'Leary, who expressed deep feeling about what we were doing to 'mother earth,' and wished to see the growth of a 'sacred science' that could blend conscientious scientific practice with deeper respect for the role of consciousness.

I actually used a still from the video to turn the skyscraper into a ship that could fly around the earth and be based on the ground (picture below.)

Millennia (or less) from now, our solar system and the earth may have changed in ways hard to predict, and our race may have adapted to live elsewhere, or differently, amidst the stars. But for now, I prefer having my feet on the ground, or in the life-giving waters of the earth, to swaying in a skyscraper that casts a looming shadow :)

With clean, abundant energy, a home that could be flown out of a flood or a cyclone could be quite a handy thing.

The future lotus ship in my pic was, affectionately, a Project Avalon Centre for Science and Spirituality.

...The lotus ship was modified from a still from the video below. It is actually from a design for a skyscraper. But I wonder, when designers as talented as this have access to free energy, what spectacular ships they might choose to envisage that can, instead, link us closely to the earth or journey around the world and out beyond the solar system. I enjoyed watching the beautiful geometry as it grew into the completed vision. I find it soothing the way the structures are immersed in and reflect the water gardens. At under 2.5 minutes - thought some of you might enjoy.

Ulli, I was not thinking of anyone in particular (least of all present company) when I wrote my above post; but of course if something is to have any relevance, it is going to resonate with someone. Sorry if that was uncomfortable for you.

After your German lesson, ‘past’ and ‘perfect’ suggest a point of grammar. The past perfect is the past form with current relevance, e.g. ‘I have eaten’ implying I am not hungry now. The dictionary definition of this perfection as an action already completed is inadequate, since the simple past action is also completed, and more radically so since it doesn’t have this lingering quality. The whole idea of the perfect tense (or rather mood) is actually closer to unfinished business. Nothing is perfect when seen as part of an ongoing process, and therefore – but counterintuitively – to dwell on the imperfections can be disastrous. On the other hand, this ongoing process is punctuated with elements of closure, meaning that a time for reflection can follow, or a fresh start can be made. We are constantly doing this balancing act between dealing with the past, and drawing a line under it; it’s all about being forgiving. See http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?79139-Forgiveness-Necessary-or-just-a-way-of-stopping-you-from-retaliating-to-aggression&p=936711&viewfull=1#post936711

The above referenced post is about an opera singer of whom I earlier posted a video singing a highly complex scream. There would be imperfections in that scream, but the amazing thing is the sheer technical skill that can been put into such a primeval gesture – and more generally the amount of near-perfection that goes into our imperfections. There are always plenty of encouraging signs to latch onto. Interestingly, when the Cathars were called Perfecti, it meant that they were complete and utter… heretics.

I have also spent a great part of my life living in London, England, and had a country house in Southern England, also on a river, like now. Then the river Rother, now the Rio Grande de Orosi.
These changes between city and country have taught me a lot about where human intervention is justified and where it is detrimental.
These cities in the sky might work where culture or civilization have reached levels of decadence and decay that one just needs to build a new infra-structure on top of the mess.
For now the planet still has options to offer (to some of us) that don't require such drastic artificial habitat developments, but who knows for how much longer?
Wherever people in Costa Rica move onto a new plot of former virgin forest, or former coffee fields, visual ugliness is the result.
For years I have been wishing that some town planning could be applied, at least leaving spots for parks, or the odd tree.

Araucaria, with your above post on the perils of lack of communication you hit a nerve.
My personal communication pendulum swings madly between too much and too little,
and life punishes me accordingly.

What really hit home, however, was the term "wall of a father" which has been passed down my own genetic (and astrological) bloodline.
I must remain silent on the subject.
Duct. tape, anyone?
Ulli, I was not thinking of anyone in particular (least of all present company) when I wrote my above post; but of course if something is to have any relevance, it is going to resonate with someone. Sorry if that was uncomfortable for you.

..snip..



Not uncomfortable at all. It resonated in a most positive way, so much so that I emailed your post to someone close to me with two carbon copies to two other members of the family.
It was just such perfect timing for you to share those thoughts.

Beautiful day in the forest. Grateful for the soft cool gentle winds today. But rain would be very much appreciated too. It's been so hot and dry here. Poor trees.

Haven't been very active lately here and now, but I've been following along with you all -Thank You.
Still have moments of letting it all out, letting go. Opening to accepting and receiving love. A lot of transformation and changes inside and outside -I feel like a whole different person. Amazing when you become aware that what you really resonate with is love.

"Hey, I was in the middle of a movie..." :)

About sharing sorrow, and I hope you're doing well, Ulli and Nora, if I understood it well, a so described Saturnalian force is now trickling, or pouring, over my Mercurian ponderings. Pushing and forcing things into a demanded format. Venusian pleasances also being spoiled by that hovering cloud :angry:
It does seem that much speaking is required now, and that any type of speaking is an all-or-nothing, no half gains. On the other hand, preparation (evt. one does get the gist), however profound, seems to yield only half of the results you'd expect at other times.

Challenging times for vibrating vocal cords.

I’m intentionally staying away from everyone because I don’t want to infect them with the ickies. Thank Gawd, there’s no one around to struggle with but myself. There’s been two of me for the last couple of weeks. One that’s task oriented, feverishly gathering information and skipping bedtime. And the other that’s closet eating, guilting over bad food choices and escaping through movies to hide from all that’s going on.

Then that was pretty amazing, given your subsequent post about needing to cry together. This is an example of another advantage of communication: you get bonus points for trying. We need to hear more from Playdo and from anyone else who is holding back.

There are as many ways into this as there are people doing it. As you know, I am not into astrology at all, but I find myself very much on the same page as Tom. I used the word ‘uncomfortable’; he says ‘we are not comfortable’. I talk about communication; Tom says ‘we have to talk’. He talks of Venus putting on a quality ‘London Philharmonic’ performance on Leo’s stage for a demanding audience (Saturn); I show Simon Rattle telling his audience to ‘stop smiling, this is the [Berlin] Philharmonie’! It helps to have knowledge of things like astrology, but nothing is indispensable. We can be on the same page simply by being attentive to where we are, i.e. through feeling the same planetary influences together as we inevitably do. This is proof of how this form of communication definitely works, and leads to harmony: synchronicity seen as the physical manifestation of a desire. Or of a non-desire: I would like to know more about astrology, but I find I don’t need to.

A couple of Christmases ago, my wife went to buy a loaf and the baker’s wife started explaining how there would be no chocolates because her supplier had let her down. My wife replied that as it happened she was just on her way to visit a family member who is a pastry cook to help him with his one-man chocolate factory; she could take an order and bring back the chocolates in a couple of days. This sort of occurrence is on the increase, even in the commercial context of ebay, online bookstores etc. It may seem pretty routine these days to receive in Europe an out-of-print book from South Africa, the US or even Australia, often for pennies, but when you think about it, you are finding a needle in a haystack. But you have to ask first. Often the hard part is not giving, it is asking. Most people are probably better at giving than at asking. Asking means accepting the imperfection of needing something. If you can’t accept that, the alternatives are taking (stealing) or doing without. The über-rich elite steals and doesn’t give, the scarcity-driven populace does without and gives (is robbed of) what little it has. These two behaviour patterns both fall away when we learn to apply Jesus’s simple formula, ‘Ask and you shall receive’. It also means a) having no possessions that one is not prepared to give away to someone in need and expressing that need and b) having nothing that one is prepared to be robbed of by someone with no need, i.e. owning little worth stealing to attract thieves and subsequently grieve over.

lol to This made my day!!! Thanks Meeradas

a true story:

little story: I was coaching a manager managing a group of blue collars and he would get very upset at times, even vindictive. I worked with him to find out what he would tell himself internally right before getting upset, in order to replace those beliefs leading to his difficult behavior impacting on those situations he was aggravating (I should do that for myself too!!!).

Then he found words to replace the detrimental ones (while holding the same fundamental values he wanted his worker to share, such as work ethics, perseverance, etc).

The short sentence he found which worked marvelously with him was : not Worth a fu ck. (we just agreed he should not tell his company's higher management about his new mantra).

He is much more patient with his employees now.;)

(yes this is the kind of work I used to do, plus training in corporations - I just got overworked, plus personal problems, and tired to have no colleagues to work with. And some other work related detrimental stories - I really could make wonders for some employers or companies - I do not understand why I am overlooked, even if I am older)

[Carmody]

I do not understand why I am overlooked, even if I am older.

Possibly because you threaten their current order?

That they think they need someone like you when things are broken and they don't want to understand that things are broken?

It's all in the NLP of the presentation.

Get them on the after effects, not the current situation.... which is the thing that sits like a pained turd in the middle of the room/business.

Advertizing is about presenting the cart as being a done deal, before the horse ever arrives on the scene. That the world is beautiful now, but no mention of the issues of now - or how to get there.

Ie, do you create and make better and beautiful worlds, or do you fix problems?

People don't want problems, they don't want to deal with problems, they don't want to know of problems...they want and will grasp for better worlds.

This is why advertising is full of worlds and moments that have yet to be reached.

Place the beauty in their mind (their desire, as a projection)... once they commit... then the pain can come along and be dealt with.

[Carmody]

On other subjects... I was wondering why 'they' (the ever ambiguous them) were so upset with me as of recent. The Goldman Sachs angle of the Greek issue is now coming up, and it seems no one was speaking about it, even a week ago. Except for.....(cough cough)

People don't want problems, they don't want to deal with problems, they don't want to know of problems...they want and will grasp for better worlds.



Yep ... you haven't been talking to my wife have you???

[Flash]

Thanks Carmody,

I will reread you, this time not because I do not understand, because I do, but to have therse words immersed within me. Project the postive and the dream world using NLP if needed, then on a daily basis help with the problems.

What you are telling me is to always have the targets in front of my eyes, the targets for them, to make their life better, and flash the better in front of their eyes. In other words, implement the future positive and growth happennings in the now. Create the future now, while talking to them.

Yes, I will change my pitch. Thank you

And read this post of yours again, to refine my présentations.

[araucaria]

The f- word is a magic word because it is a place-holder for just about any feeling that people want to express without bothering to explore exactly what it is they are feeling. If you use the same word to describe feelings of say anger, frustration, delight, love or hate, the danger is that you only ever experience one single emotion of anger-frustration-delight-love-hate. It is not so much that God is dead: language and communication are dead, and ultimately man is dead; the beast has taken over with a vengeance.

In contrast, you have the original French version of the Smurfs, Les Schtroumpfs, (I don’t know how this is done in English), in which the nonce word schtroumpf is likewise a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, with various meanings to suit the context. This is the exact constructive opposite of the f- word because small children delight in working out the words and meanings that are being expressed, thereby expanding their vocabulary and their range of feelings as they go along. In other words, what we are seeing is more dumbing-down, which inevitably leads in only one direction, with the finer feelings losing out to the coarser ones. To describe something exquisite, one is typically lost for words in a very different sense, going through several to find them all inadequate, and trying out more to build up an overall impression that is increasingly subtle. This is the creative direction of art and literature; it might be said that Proust wrote 3,000 pages solely in an attempt to capture the feelings he experienced on tasting a madeleine cake dipped in some tea. On the other hand, ‘f-king’ will be used to qualify words that are themselves weak and vague; phrases like ‘f-king great’ and ‘f-king awful’ are still incredibly sloppy notions that any remotely careful writer or speaker would try to replace with something richer or more precise.

This is why I am rather ambivalent about that meditation video, because it works if you are trying to empty your mind of, to use another in word, all the sh!t in your life; but if you are trying momentarily to empty your mind of finer feelings and concern for loved ones, to me ‘f-k that’ leads to the wrong sort of emptiness. It causes a disconnect between meditation and the active form of living instead of meshing them together as two contrasting aspects of the act of being in the world.

What I am saying can also be applied to emptiness itself. It is all very well exploring the 49 or however many forms it takes, emptiness, nothingness, vacuity, the void. The trap lies in the fiftieth form, which is nihilism. This takes us from the existence of nothingness to the reverse: ‘nothing exists’, meaning nothing at all, that there is no reality. A self-contradiction since that thought is real enough. Pascal, cogito: I google those two words for French sites, and there you go, the English f- word pops up in third place:
http://www.liberation.fr/societe/2012/08/17/****-le-cogito-blaise-pascal-penseur-trash_840342

This means that anyone who were truly to adhere to the doctrine that nothing exists, creating that non-reality… would not exist other than being a figment of the imagination of those of us who do exist. Our collective imagination is currently in overdrive, a definition of insanity. We need to forget about what doesn’t exist and focus on what does, by moving from thinking to knowing. There is a mathematical proof for how we get from ‘I think, therefore I am’ to ‘I know God exists’.


On believing and knowing, and triangles

10 is a triangular number: you can stack the numbers 1- 10 to form a triangle (1, 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9 10, the tetraktys). 33 is three short of a triangular number: you can form a topless triangle by starting with 1 2 3, 4 5 6 7 etc. This is the 2D equivalent of a pyramid without the capstone. Why the missing capstone? It means that when you think you are at the top of any hierarchical structure you are already at the bottom of the next one up – caught in an endless string of superiors exploiting subordinates.

This is an upside down way of doing things. There is another way.

The philosopher/mathematician Pascal’s triangle is also incomplete, only at the bottom, not the top. The apex starts with 1, 1 1, 1 2 1, and every row is generated by adding the two figures immediately above. This triangle was designed for a betting friend of Pascal’s and is a table of probabilities. It works in the real world, and provably so: the gambler’s winnings. The question is, how did Pascal construct the apex of his triangle? Clearly the 1s down both sides come from following the rule of adding the two numbers above, i.e. 1 plus nothing.

However by that same token, the 1 at the very top would have to be the sum of nothing plus nothing!
Now Pascal himself was not a betting man, except for his one famous wager: ‘God exists’. Sometimes seen as a cowardly act of faith, this wager here takes the form of posing the equation 0 + 0 = 1*. But remember, you can bank on it working because it generates all the rest! Hence what started out as a leap of faith is turned instantly into dead certainty, because as soon as he writes it down in a probability table, 1 means a 100% probability! Hence ‘God’ exists as the creator of something out of nothing. From the certainty of infinite oneness at the top, it is increasing uncertainty all the way down to infinite multiplicity at the ‘bottom’.

1, 1 1 – this is the only possible apex on the triangle or capstone on the pyramid. Understandably it sometimes goes missing… The bottomless Great Pyramid has also lost its facing stones, the 1s down the sides. Hence our journey has to be upwards (and hence outwards), unless of course you prefer the upside down pyramid symbolism and take the negative path, pretending down is up.
…Spirituality is the upward path, religion (as a control mechanism at least) is the downward path.


30500

To sum up what I’m trying to say, there is an infinite gulf between seeing oneness emerging from nothingness and seeing oneness disintegrate into nothingness, and only an infinitesimal distance between a ‘f-k that’ meditation and the one-size fits-all anger-frustration-delight-love-hate non-spectrum of the ultimate dumbing-down. That meditation would be fatally incomplete without the subsequent ‘love that’ love everything return to physical reality that it builds up to.

Edit: wow, I thought this reply (below) was lost. But it made it, even though I saw a window come up saying that my post was too long.
So you get two versions of my reply now, araucaria.

Well, the last sentence sums it up really well. This is exactly how I see the purpose of meditation as well.
To use a Wingmaker term...it is a blank slate technology.
You meditate until the slate, or the page, or whatever your work area is, has been cleared.
Then you have taken out the stuff that was imposed from the outside, from others, all that stuff that has noting to do with YOU and YOUR creativity. Only then can you start creating, and doing YOUR own thing.
No more imitation. No more copying.
The original self can begin to express.
Whether it's love, appreciation, or new ideas and inventions.

[ulli]

I just replied to your above post, araucaria.
And lost it as I pressed the send button.
Got the message that the post was over 5000 words long.
The annoying part is that they didn't take me back to the edit page, where I could have salvaged it.
I could have shortened or snipped off part of your message to make more room for mine.

But even in this tiny event there is something interesting to peruse, as it has a lot to do with meditation and its purpose.
Just as meditation is supposed to get the inner self into a pure mental environment so that there is room for one's own ideas to flow, so equally we need to reduce the content of our edit boxes at least enough to leave room for our own response.

And that's in my view the purpose of all mediation. That clearing of the inner space.
Whether we are doing a "f*** that" mediation, which is a bit like working with a leaf blower instead of a garden rake, or whether we visualize emptiness until we believe we are in that emptiness ...the main goal is to have a blank slate, or white page, or clean canvas, on which we can subsequently become creative.

Only then can the true self be free from imitation, or copying, but bring forth what was originally there, before it was contaminated by the impressions or impositions of the outside world.

Blank Slate Technology (BST) was a term used in the Wingmakers materials, for a form of time travel where one would be returning to a point in the past in order to change subsequent events for something better. To tweak reality, in a way.

In my analogy not even time travel is needed. Only a white page of a mind, all earlier mind stuff erased. Or the empty cup...any of these analogies could work.

The main thing is to start over, and fill that page, or cup, or landscape, with one's own ideas, and with the LOVE that makes creative activity possible.
Then share from that unique abundance.

[Carmody]

The f- word is a magic word because it is a place-holder for just about any feeling that people want to express without bothering to explore exactly what it is they are feeling. If you use the same word to describe feelings of say anger, frustration, delight, love or hate, the danger is that you only ever experience one single emotion of anger-frustration-delight-love-hate. It is not so much that God is dead: language and communication are dead, and ultimately man is dead; the beast has taken over with a vengeance.

In contrast, you have the original French version of the Smurfs, Les Schtroumpfs, (I don’t know how this is done in English), in which the nonce word schtroumpf is likewise a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, with various meanings to suit the context. This is the exact constructive opposite of the f- word because small children delight in working out the words and meanings that are being expressed, thereby expanding their vocabulary and their range of feelings as they go along. In other words, what we are seeing is more dumbing-down, which inevitably leads in only one direction, with the finer feelings losing out to the coarser ones. To describe something exquisite, one is typically lost for words in a very different sense, going through several to find them all inadequate, and trying out more to build up an overall impression that is increasingly subtle. This is the creative direction of art and literature; it might be said that Proust wrote 3,000 pages solely in an attempt to capture the feelings he experienced on tasting a madeleine cake dipped in some tea. On the other hand, ‘f-king’ will be used to qualify words that are themselves weak and vague; phrases like ‘f-king great’ and ‘f-king awful’ are still incredibly sloppy notions that any remotely careful writer or speaker would try to replace with something richer or more precise.

This is why I am rather ambivalent about that meditation video, because it works if you are trying to empty your mind of, to use another in word, all the sh!t in your life; but if you are trying momentarily to empty your mind of finer feelings and concern for loved ones, to me ‘f-k that’ leads to the wrong sort of emptiness. It causes a disconnect between meditation and the active form of living instead of meshing them together as two contrasting aspects of the act of being in the world.

What I am saying can also be applied to emptiness itself. It is all very well exploring the 49 or however many forms it takes, emptiness, nothingness, vacuity, the void. The trap lies in the fiftieth form, which is nihilism. This takes us from the existence of nothingness to the reverse: ‘nothing exists’, meaning nothing at all, that there is no reality. A self-contradiction since that thought is real enough. Pascal, cogito: I google those two words for French sites, and there you go, the English f- word pops up in third place:
http://www.liberation.fr/societe/2012/08/17/****-le-cogito-blaise-pascal-penseur-trash_840342

This means that anyone who were truly to adhere to the doctrine that nothing exists, creating that non-reality… would not exist other than being a figment of the imagination of those of us who do exist. Our collective imagination is currently in overdrive, a definition of insanity. We need to forget about what doesn’t exist and focus on what does, by moving from thinking to knowing. There is a mathematical proof for how we get from ‘I think, therefore I am’ to ‘I know God exists’.


On believing and knowing, and triangles

10 is a triangular number: you can stack the numbers 1- 10 to form a triangle (1, 2 3, 4 5 6, 7 8 9 10, the tetraktys). 33 is three short of a triangular number: you can form a topless triangle by starting with 1 2 3, 4 5 6 7 etc. This is the 2D equivalent of a pyramid without the capstone. Why the missing capstone? It means that when you think you are at the top of any hierarchical structure you are already at the bottom of the next one up – caught in an endless string of superiors exploiting subordinates.

This is an upside down way of doing things. There is another way.

The philosopher/mathematician Pascal’s triangle is also incomplete, only at the bottom, not the top. The apex starts with 1, 1 1, 1 2 1, and every row is generated by adding the two figures immediately above. This triangle was designed for a betting friend of Pascal’s and is a table of probabilities. It works in the real world, and provably so: the gambler’s winnings. The question is, how did Pascal construct the apex of his triangle? Clearly the 1s down both sides come from following the rule of adding the two numbers above, i.e. 1 plus nothing.

However by that same token, the 1 at the very top would have to be the sum of nothing plus nothing!
Now Pascal himself was not a betting man, except for his one famous wager: ‘God exists’. Sometimes seen as a cowardly act of faith, this wager here takes the form of posing the equation 0 + 0 = 1*. But remember, you can bank on it working because it generates all the rest! Hence what started out as a leap of faith is turned instantly into dead certainty, because as soon as he writes it down in a probability table, 1 means a 100% probability! Hence ‘God’ exists as the creator of something out of nothing. From the certainty of infinite oneness at the top, it is increasing uncertainty all the way down to infinite multiplicity at the ‘bottom’.

1, 1 1 – this is the only possible apex on the triangle or capstone on the pyramid. Understandably it sometimes goes missing… The bottomless Great Pyramid has also lost its facing stones, the 1s down the sides. Hence our journey has to be upwards (and hence outwards), unless of course you prefer the upside down pyramid symbolism and take the negative path, pretending down is up.
…Spirituality is the upward path, religion (as a control mechanism at least) is the downward path.


30500

To sum up what I’m trying to say, there is an infinite gulf between seeing oneness emerging from nothingness and seeing oneness disintegrate into nothingness, and only an infinitesimal distance between a ‘f-k that’ meditation and the one-size fits-all anger-frustration-delight-love-hate non-spectrum of the ultimate dumbing-down. That meditation would be fatally incomplete without the subsequent ‘love that’ love everything return to physical reality that it builds up to.

This is tied to the root of how modern communication, via cell phones, the so called smart phones..how this kills intelligence. It seems like more communication is being done, more is being produced, but it is in smaller, simpler circles. The monkey at the root of the human edifice is designed to observe, reflect and integrate that of the herd or group. Literally. Television as a cue into that, soap operas and the like. And now, twitter, facebook emails, messaging, and so on. Taking up (the time of) one's life into a realm of ceaseless intake, without time for reflection and silence, which is key to intellectual growth.

It is taking intelligent people and removing their motion into a larger intellect, moving it into smaller circles. All outside of their notice as to what is happening. It is a form of external to internal programming communication.... so it is in effect reducing the number of and reducing the complexity of the channels of intellectual growth. Monkeys pressing buttons while living in a cage. Nothing more. When I look at a city street these days... I'm hard pressed to not see it as exactly that.

place image here: (what we need is a photoshopped/CGI image of human looking monkeys, walking around on city streets, with square metal barred cages surround them, and wires coming off their heads [into the upper regions of the cage], as they look at their cell phones and press buttons)

The end of logic as a necessity in life, with/via a closed circle that is ...just out of notice and visualization, by the majority of the people trapped in that world. The ability to seemingly function without a need for logic is what is creating a stratification and prole class. To remove the challenges and supplant the treadmill of life's complexities with one's own design is to create a level in and of humans.

Thus, the stratification of humanity in intellectual classes, with no crossing no growing. Cell phones for the 'gamma-ization' of the proles'. Since TV is dead, it's time to move on to another method and way.



One could say that the rise of a more widespread eurocentric hermticism, at the end of the Templar realm/run, gave rise to the Renaissance.

People don't think via or, as consciousness, it is a small program that rides on top of the depths of a human and we call it consciousness. The ego In-out box program. The one that is not us and the somatic emergent as murmurings is the real us that lies underneath.

If one pays very close attention to the voice in the head, one can actually 'feel' the formation of the thought before it arrives into communicative expression. This is key to awakenings, and..true and actual mediation, as this deeper part is the one to shut down. Stopping the voice in the head is nothing, as the force behind it is still running at full speed. Finding and stilling the origin point is key.

To not mistake the window-interface and it's writings and motions....for the human.

As knowing of this rises in the individual and the collective, so does the fears connected to the ego-program system.

The animal aspect reacts, and finds ways to leverage itself off this data or knowing. It goes to ground.. as that is how it is run, via the deeper drives. It seeks the animal comforts that direct it's expression.

Thus the animal in man, within the complexity of the rise in hermeticism, this animal component seeks to stratify and control the somatic aspects of the bulk of humanity.

Not enlightened, not awake --- just an asshat of a monkey, with more data. Nothing more.

And it is here... in this exact layer of existence.... that we find the elites of society.

Asshat monkeys, leveraging humanity for their own gain, and not a shred of integrated consciousness within them. With their little clubs, little societies, little secretive gatherings. Missing the point entirely, as it serves the sleep that they live on and in the level they live. They illustrate the condition where just a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

It's a shame that a good man such as Ron van Dyke got lured into such scam. I knew intuitively from the first video (and last - which I couldn't listen for long) that "ambassador" guy was a fake. Drake, Cobra, Fulford Blue Birds, they're all the same. They talk the talk, but don't walk the walk.

Be aware also that there are many false prophets and guides operating in your world. They will suck your energy from you - the energy you call money and will put it to evil ends and give you worthless dross in return.

The word patterns are similar, but the voice isn’t as low as the guy in Modwiz’s videos. As for the Ambassador? He says the same thing over and over and talks down to the listeners. It’s unfortunate that people are being duped.

Yes, they would have to be. If say we put the threshold for the ‘hundredth monkey effect’ at the arbitrary figure of 100, then a safe maximum to stifle that effect – the goal of the elite – would be no more than about 70. We hear about apes washing potatoes; that would be the technology that got out to the masses. But we don’t hear about the forbidden technology that stays with the few. What we do find are recent discoveries of a few members of various different species with skills we never suspected them of having; we don’t know yet if this new technology is being suppressed or is only just beginning to spread to the rest of the population. We also know of murderous cannibalistic chimpanzees that kill and eat their own; if we ask all the questions that come to mind, we want to know if this is something new, and what motivates such attacks: they are obviously made by the powerful against the less powerful, but in the light of the above, it could be a matter of an elite taking out whistle-blowers who have seen something and are calling out for disclosure.

If this sounds like anthropomorphism of a silliness compounded by a good dose of conspiracy theory, then consider the following for a moment as no more than a thought experiment. Wild animal populations are facing what we know to be a very real alien threat (i.e. from humans) including vaster superior technology that is dripping down to a small degree. If you thrust paintbrushes or cameras into dozens of trunks and teach zoo elephants how to paint or take photos, you have to wonder what is going to happen when elephants start becoming really creative or when the ‘hundredth elephant effect’ kicks in and they all start broadcasting their stuff, giving a whole new meaning to the expression ‘alternative media’. Chronicling the human awakening has to embrace much more than just humans. And of course unleashing any form of violence on our oppressors would also become the subject of a technology transfer to the animal kingdom with potentially disastrous effects, at least locally. We already have urbanized fox populations, pigeon commuters that regularly take public transport to and from their ‘workplace’, and the occasional sighting of a big cat: do we want herds of stampeding elephants as well? We all have to smarten up together, because the dumbing-down is potentially catastrophic for coming from levels above our own.

Hi Eaglespirit,

The reference you gave below is quite interesting. In his own ways, the author had quite an epiphany. He uses words related to Jesus, but truly, he did achieve something on his own in terms of awakening and spiritual development. When I read him, if I translate his vocabulary to mine (not always obvious), it makes sense. He has written many texts all full of wisdom.

Here are some snippets of his writings that are illuminating (even one about snippets) from only one of many texts:

o I know that when the full truth of the power of this universal consciousness is revealed here on Earth once again, history and its numerous players will be absolutely irrelevant. Because at that time ego will become irrelevant.

o Any casual association with truth and any lie in any form halts with ego death.

o To understand how all this stuff worked you had to be on the “it is” side of the mental fence rather than the “I am” side.

o The sins are primarily empowered by socially drawn lies of shame, your own fears, and the curious social custom of giving grace to lies in a way that ensures they will continue to be handed back and forth and cause all sorts of pain and trouble. Self-created disasters. Tiny whispers of “I am” vs “it is” buried very deeply and ingrained in you from the time you are deeply entangled into this world in the first place. If you think you didn’t ask to be born, my answer to you is yes you did, you just don’t remember it.

o This is how a tiny piece of truth in the wrong context can completely change the meaning of an event. This is why you must be careful about the use of pieces of truth to form opinions.

o I also got the distinct impression somebody is about to take an axe to the fabric, ripping it wide open forever.

o slipped into eternity mindlessly but not unconsciously.

WHITE WALLS
By Gtwin :Angel:


As I mosey through the doorway’s frame, blaze; my mind elsewhere,

The forefront of my mind unregistered I once lived there.

Through my second nature, so abrupt I flick a switch,

Cradled bulb illuminates the dark; a guided twitch.

I only make a single step halfway across the room

before nostalgia hits my head, another seen full moon.

Memories and lingered ghosts waft from wood to wall,

Pressing on my person, causing me to stop and stall.

On the spot my arms fall down, my mission caused to halt,

Suddenly I’m a stunned moth, my eyes begin to jolt.

Forgotten pennies echo sound as in a heap they drop,

I shake my head and utter breath expecting them to stop.

As if awaiting for my soul to consciously climb stair,

They shout and dance a welcome song so sick of waiting there.

The white walls open up their traps and let the natives out,

I feel a smile is in accord to watch them dance about.

Leaping high from wall to wall the air becomes so thick,

They’re crying out “remember us?! We stayed here in good nick!”

“How could I forget?” I say, although I moved along,

The essence of my growing up remained there pulsing strong.

The white walls gussy themselves up whenever I pass through,

Although fresh bed sheets have been laid the room is never new.

I see my youth; I see myself and re-live every day,

In a moment my new life is quickly washed away.

I stand once more in pleated skirt within my scuffed school shoes,

Feeling how I felt back then; re-living all my blues.

Hearing all the songs I played and watching how we danced,

Remembering my company, I watch still deep entranced.

I once again kick through the mess I once had on the floor,

Remembering the moves I made once I had closed the door.

Once again I hear the knock of pitter-patter hands;

a baby sister wanting in to see the big-girl lands.

The white walls link then into now and gently remind me,

They were the womb of my growth and the adult who I’d be.

The single window grins at me and winks her smirking eye,

As I close her she recounts my stories with a sigh.

Almost sad I lived those days within a flustered rush,

I hear each phone call I once made within the buzzing hush.

I call my hindsight in the room to see if I regret,

But still there’s nothing I can see of which I would change yet.

As I draw the blinds and hear the noises which they make,

I take to heart and pocket it, it’s mine; I own that quake.

That rattling belongs to me; I own that closing sound,

I made it every night before my head was pillow-bound.

As I swiftly turn around and leave my teenage room,

I marvel how that bed was where this flower was to bloom.

I leave the head space of that time there as I close the door

And realise for the first time I don’t live there anymore.

Lovely, Gtwin. I could so relate to that.
And welcome to Avalon...
I see you are still in your coat.
Make yourself at home.
Your new home.

[Marianne]

Gtwin, thank you for the poem and memories. I felt I was walking back through my own youth as I read.

Life is tumbling along so fast. At the moment it's all about the garden--it's growing tremendously and some plants could be picked twice a day, not kidding.

Does anybody want to see pictures? I put some more on my profile page, under the Home and Family album.

The veggies are piling up in the kitchen. This evening I'm putting up some fermented vegetables. Summer squash, zucchini, peppers, and carrots. And making salsa to give away.

Little Japanese eggplant disks are roasting in the oven to become baba ganoush.

I have two harvest baskets on hooks in the hallway, with a little knife tucked inside one, to grab on the way out the door to the garden. Something about it gives me so much pleasure, reminding me of my mom and the way she has lived her life. As long as I can remember, she's had a metal dishpan on a nail on the back porch. The screen door just a step away. The memory of those sounds, the screen door slamming closed, the scrape of metal pan against nail, the feel of it, warm from the heat as we walked to the garden. It's the same garden I have now, the very same space.

It looks like Sophia has left/or considering leaving the TOT forum. She said something that I think would benefit the members here and hoepfully she would understand why I'm posting it as she said something pertaining to Avalon in a members only thread which most here can't read. It's a positive note and maybe will bring a little closure to hurts suffered on both sides, so Ill take the risk. She did not want to see Avalon bashed and appologized for having it happen. She took the word of someone without asking if it was true or not and now regrets what happened after seeing the fallout.

If saying this is against the forum rules I appologize and you may delete it...I would rather see the forums get along better to some degree.

If saying this is against the forum rules I appologize and you may delete it...I would rather see the forums get along better to some degree.

Thanks for the message, Mojo. Continued support and encouragement in one another. May there be acceptance, compassion, humility, patience, understanding and valor, here and now and every here and now.

It looks like Sophia has left/or considering leaving the TOT forum. She said something that I think would benefit the members here and hoepfully she would understand why I'm posting it as she said something pertaining to Avalon in a members only thread which most here can't read.

Thank you mojo. I hope this positive message is not deleted as I am thinking deleted material may have been a cause of some misunderstanding through speculation as to its content.

Some news of my sister-in-law. She has had her entire stomach removed, and despite a prognosis that is not good, her morale is amazingly high, notably because she feels better than for a long time, as if something harmful has finally gone. Many thanks to all for your support.

Marianne, those vegetables of yours are enough to make a guy green with envy if I were that way inclined :) Gardening is just one of the countless things I do very badly; I have to say this because, since writing a decent post is one of the exceptions to that rule, anyone reading me here is likely getting a false picture of who I really am. :)

Obviously, one of the marvelous things the Internet has done is to greatly expand the group of people I call friends. Some, I have met in-person; many I have not (yet.) One friend is a woman in Texas that withheld the information that she had cancer until after she had had surgery. It was a rare form of cervical cancer, but was already metastasizing throughout her body. Because of the rarity of the particular cancer, a university-affiliated teaching hospital in Texas wanted to "study her." The impression I got was that they had already given up on her, they knew she was going to be consumed by the cancer, and they wanted to document it. Screw that!

So, when I found out, my first thought was getting cannabis oil in her. Not legal in Texas, so I recommended a move (even if temporary) to Colorado, where she could get the oil. She couldn't afford it. She got listed in a group founded as cannabis oil advocates that (somehow) match donor funds with patients that need the oil. Nothing came of that. In the meantime, I recommended that she "alkalinize" her body, and sent half a dozen web links to information for doing so. Plus, my mother-in-law had just died, never having tried the Essiac tea I sent her, and that was returned to me, unopened, after her death. So, I sent the Essiac tea (with sorrel root) to my friend. She prepared it, and drank it, as well as her new diet to alkalinize her body (and I had also recommended nothing but organics, lots of fruits/fruit smoothies, and pure spring water - which was available to her locally (http://www.findaspring.com/).) And, of course, I sent "healing vibes" and love to her as well. (I am still unsure as to how much - if any - healing energy can be transmitted over a distance by anyone, especially someone like me that doesn't have any "special powers", but I do it anyway.)

Fast forward a couple of months... My friend went for a check-up and was declared "cancer free!"

reality is tied to projection. This has been scientifically proven to be true, via psychic sensitivity studies, meta studies of the studies, tests designed to prove the hypothesis of the meta studies.

One's projection, down at the core of the hindbrian and emotional initiation of reality, THAT is the driver of it all.

Note the clear attempt of NWO and dark entity types ------ to damage the deepest connections of the human body.

They require the sheen of ego intelligence that sits on top of this deep well of reality formation, they require that ego body, the rational scientific mind, the linear mind, the dis-empowered mind to be in total charge of everyone's ideals and projections -- otherwise they will lose all control of the herd and herd mentality they work so hard to maintain.

If you can find some quiet time, listen to this. Something magical about it sonically, using melodic upper frequencies. Makes my head dance and it feels like it is triggering upper chakras to emit. The lyrics are almost an inverse of the lightness of the music: passionate, dark, exasperated, barely holding on... The juxtaposition is powerful, a little unnerving, and very evocative. I thought it was worth sharing.

==========================

"The Only Thing"

The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night
Signs and wonders, Perseus aligned with the skull
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all

Do I care if I survive this, bury the dead where they're found
In a veil of great surprises I wonder did you love me at all?

The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
Signs and wonders, water stain writing the wall
Daniel's message, blood of the moon on us all

Do I care if I despise this, nothing else matters, I know
In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?

Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow

The only reason why I continue at all
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
Signs and wonders, sea lion caves in the dark
Blind faith, God's grace, nothing else left to impart

Do I care if I survive this, bury the dead where they're found
In a veil of great surprises, hold to my head till I drown
Should I tear my eyes out now, before I see too much?
Should I tear my arms out now, I wanna feel your touch

Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you somehow

- "The Only Thing" is on the album "Carrie & Lowell", by Sufjan Stevens.

Truly worth sharing, Dennis, and your comments were spot on.
But for me there was that extra element of my memory of meeting him, when he was still Cat Stevens.
I had this Greek friend, Costi, who used to fly with him to Brazil, and one night Costi invited him, his buddy or bodyguard, a huge guy anyway, myself and my ex husband to a dinner in a tiny Greek restaurant in Knightsbridge London, and we were the only people there.
And I was so star struck, and too shy to think of relevant questions, lacking confidence, that all I remember is this bodyguard fellow who was with him eating a whole baked Alaska which normally served ten people, and he ate it all by himself. And there was also some chatter about Rio, and the amazing girls there.

That must have been in the mid seventies. He was a serious fellow, and perhaps like me was attracted to the exuberance of our mutual friend Costi, with whom he had been friends for a long time, both being Greeks who lived in London. So whenever one of these incredibly talented people with whom I crossed paths me are mentioned I just have lots of regrets about having been too shy, and not knowing how to get them to open up more the way some journalist interviewers can. It is an art to put someone like that at ease.

Nora, I haven't seen you around in awhile. I'm going to post the Pele Report for you--hope you don't mind. Tom's mantra is the Hawaiian practice of Ho'oponopono!

I love you,
I'm sorry,
Please forgive me,
Thank you.

vWfJc5UmI34

He gives some links to learn about ho'oponopono.

As mentioned in this week's report, below are a couple links to additional videos/music for practicing Ho'oponopono, the Hawaiian healing mantra I have used for this week. However, anytime some "problems," as in difficult emotions arise between yourself and the world (which is bound to happen with these aspects!), you can sing, chant, or simply say this mantra aloud or to yourself for instant healing. It really is amazing and I hope you try it out!
The astrology of this week is still around emotional connections and the influence of past relationships (going all the way back to mom and dad and previous lives) on current feelings, needs, fears, and desires. This New Moon in Cancer feels like we are collectively preparing to give birth to a new "Us" and are feeling the contractions. An insecure time when we all feel great changes are at hand but there is a huge "not knowing" of just what lies ahead.
What I feel is so valuable right now is releasing the the past to allow for a better, more liberated future and that is what the mantra is all about. To learn more about what Ho'oponopono is visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qoq75-DQm4
To just listen to the mantra with some theta binaural beats check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqrssdH6ET4

Good Mornin' Flash and All : )

Flash...much of Mikes story resonated with mine,not in all details but in rhythm and downloads...we got to share some quiet talk time that night before he went back home. We went everywhere on that one on one, grateful. We will be connecting in person again.

This is from the 'Lupis'...trying to read here and there when I get time:

To tune in to the complete rainbow that makes up the spirit of life all that is required is to fearlessly walk your truth.

My 1st and 2nd 'shamanic death and rebirths' culminated in touching Creation and simply shows You to walk your own truth intensely humbly heroically with selfless music, egoless.
The 2nd on Wampanoag village land at Cummaquid, Cape Cod was much intenser than the 1st of January 2007 at Lightning Rock near the Nipmuc Reservation.
You simply walk on with this with heightened grace and gratitude and propulsion.

The 2nd extreme was actually brought on by the dilantin I was taking that I got off of...it was rough and tough because of that, I feel.

Flash...
Please share more of Your thoughts when You can if You wish to...wherever/however You want here.

There are powerful and wonderful Spirit going-ons for me with this.
Mike has been emailing me with new oncoming and ongoing things he is getting and doing...
and I mean "doing with fervor" while still in a recovery from His intense crippling.

My apologies Ulli and All...have limited time and slow connection, so bringing it here and now rather than new thread.

Amazing isn't it what simple images can bring to our souls?

[Sierra]

We had a fire on the ridge the other day. Called it in and they said they were on it. We heard sirens moving to the ridge for about ten minutes.

I'd hate to be a fireman in the Sierra foothills. The land here is crammed with bushes, brush, trees, brambles, try to take a step in the jungle, and vines will trip you, thorns will catch you, you can't walk upright, and if you go off the established trails, there are abandoned and invisible mine shafts to watch out for.

Real heroes. Respect.

The birds have found the birdbath on the deck! (We finally fixed the deck faucet.) It's so funny! The towees splash and fling themselves about in utter joy. The deck is awash in a two foot circle around the birdbath by the time they are done lol. A finch in contrast, is like a prissy uptight fuss budget getting the bath over with as soon as possible, no playing about, a member of the life is serious tribe.

We now have three humming bird feeders on the deck, place do either we or the kittehs can watch in comfort. I've been getting up to watch the dawn lately, and the humming birds greet me face to face, before eating breakfast.

So polite. :)

Back to walkies, Dave and I are up to four mile walks again. :)

With what happened in the higher vibration thread, I am leaving for a few weeks, will find myself a job and take care of my life. These situations are not worth being around.

I could not resist mentioning what I see, I could have shut up but then would have stopped going to many thread, and in the thread in question there were many people i truly enjoy reading and exchanging with.

Well, everything has an end.

Have fun Silkie with your new friends. Et merci Hervé pour ta délicatesse (c'est un sarcasme).

And yes, I am emotional. And it does not worth my aggravation.

Over posting....

[Carmody]

Astrologically, when a planet is found, it's traits begin the process of being integrated, or, in another way, opened for public notice. Out from the shadows.

When a planet is imaged and seen by the human eye, then the deepest parts begin to become part of the conscious psyche/knowing of the group.

Pluto...has begun that final process (July 14, 2015).

One look at Pluto's meaning:


As the outermost planet in our solar system, Pluto is also the farthest from the Sun. It has only recently been discovered, having come to light (albeit a dim one) in 1930.

Pluto's energy may be subtle, but its results will hit you like a ton of bricks. This planet is about transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Things aren't pretty with Pluto, but they do get done. Pluto says 'out with the old and in with the new,' and we'd better be ready for it. If we're not, this planet will simply have us wallow in our misery. Pluto asks us to transcend that which we know, redeem ourselves in the process, and come out stronger as a result.

For all that Pluto (re)creates (it also governs the reproductive system), it loves to destroy. This planet rules destruction, death, obsession, kidnapping, coercion, viruses and waste. That's definitely not pretty. Pluto also governs crime and the underworld, along with many forms of subversive activity (terrorism, dictatorships). This planet is about all that is secret and undercover, that which is hidden from view. Is this the story of good vs. evil? Yes.

No one will deny Pluto's power (it rules atomic power, too) and intensity. This planet's energy is often focused on the masses and what the collective will do. Pluto beseeches the masses to look inward (and to their subconscious) to see what's there. It may be scary, but Pluto doesn't care. This planet knows how to push buttons.

It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to complete its orbit around the zodiac. Due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it takes this planet between 12 and 31 years to pass through a sign. It rules Scorpio and the Eighth House. Pluto is the last of the transcendental planets and is the higher octave of Mars.

[Sierra]

I can't say I've heard of any. I don't think there is enough deep forest. It would be easy to see them on the ridges.

Astrologically, when a planet is found, it's traits begin the process of being integrated, or, in another way, opened for public notice. Out from the shadows.

When a planet is imaged and seen by the human eye, then the deepest parts begin to become part of the conscious psyche/knowing of the group.

Pluto...has begun that final process (July 14, 2015).

One look at Pluto's meaning:


As the outermost planet in our solar system, Pluto is also the farthest from the Sun. It has only recently been discovered, having come to light (albeit a dim one) in 1930.

Pluto's energy may be subtle, but its results will hit you like a ton of bricks. This planet is about transformation, regeneration and rebirth. Things aren't pretty with Pluto, but they do get done. Pluto says 'out with the old and in with the new,' and we'd better be ready for it. If we're not, this planet will simply have us wallow in our misery. Pluto asks us to transcend that which we know, redeem ourselves in the process, and come out stronger as a result.

For all that Pluto (re)creates (it also governs the reproductive system), it loves to destroy. This planet rules destruction, death, obsession, kidnapping, coercion, viruses and waste. That's definitely not pretty. Pluto also governs crime and the underworld, along with many forms of subversive activity (terrorism, dictatorships). This planet is about all that is secret and undercover, that which is hidden from view. Is this the story of good vs. evil? Yes.

No one will deny Pluto's power (it rules atomic power, too) and intensity. This planet's energy is often focused on the masses and what the collective will do. Pluto beseeches the masses to look inward (and to their subconscious) to see what's there. It may be scary, but Pluto doesn't care. This planet knows how to push buttons.

It takes Pluto approximately 248 years to complete its orbit around the zodiac. Due to the eccentricity of its orbit, it takes this planet between 12 and 31 years to pass through a sign. It rules Scorpio and the Eighth House. Pluto is the last of the transcendental planets and is the higher octave of Mars.

Now Pluto's energy is available in a conscious state. (?)

I love wood pigeons, and this is the exact background noise I'm listening to right now. They are outside my window.
I'm in the process of winding down all my Barbados business, and it's unlikely that I will return.
Will never burn the bridges with the friends who rescued me, and there is always Skype and Whatsapp to stay in touch.
May those babies thrive under your loving care.

Hi ya'll.

I've some interesting news.

My daughter is getting married! To a great guy from a great family from Brazil.

Today, she asked me a startling question. She asked if I would marry them! Isn't that something? I am the priest archetype so I can do it. Although I am not certified or whatever they call it. I asked how her fiancé felt about that and she told me he was enthusiastic about it. But I can only marry them spiritually, not legally. Since she has no religion and she is her father's daughter (and her mother's for that matter) she feels I have all the authority she needs. Afterwards they will go to city hall for the legal side.

Even better, it will only be the principles involved and their parents plus only a few others. No nasty family to spoil things. And - it will be at the top of a mountain! Ain't she something? I love that girl and I am so proud of her. She is amazing.

I was wondering what some of you might think of this. Would love some feedback or suggestions - for or against makes no never mind.

Yes, “Scientists admit they were completely wrong about ‘inert’ Pluto” – opening up “New Horizons” as the probe is called. For one thing, the planet has a big heart smiley over it.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/new-horizons-scientists-admit-they-were-completely-wrong-about-inert-pluto-10400272.html

Astrologically speaking (and speaking as always as a dunce as to the technical details of the subject :)), there are some particularly interesting features about these slow-moving outer planets. One is that whole generations are astrologically on the same page. This would be the basis for the theory of “waves” of souls such as indigo children coming to the planet. For example (consulting Robert Hand 1976), only those born after 1965 will experience Pluto conjunct Uranus. Another is novelty: new elements added to the usual mix, and others no longer relevant (e.g. Neptune Conjunct Pluto has not happened since the 1890s). With longer life expectancy and Pluto’s variable speed on its irregular orbit, for the first time Pluto Trine Natal Neptune has been happening to people in significant numbers (in their seventies). Or Neptune Sextile Pluto is a transit that itself has a longer life expectancy than usual: I gather that at some point just about everyone alive will have it in their birth chart; so this would be a way of transcending generation gaps and putting the whole planet on the same page. http://accessnewage.com/articles/astro/NEPPLUSX.HTM

These are areas where society is becoming conscious of itself as a whole, and that is a major breakthrough because it means that the basic goodness of the vast majority can be brought to bear with the utmost force and effectiveness. This is the time to cut the one-percenters down to size.

The other side of that, is the violence and the animalism of the controlling structures, the dark hidden oligarchies, heads for the front page of their consciousness...and ours. All their hidden tactics go full bore open, up from the depths.

Sierra, Sounds like you've been visiting some inter-dimensional Irish wake.
Whatever causes this, however, you might need some Village herbal tea.

Araucaria, I don't know your birthday, and won't ask you to display it here,
but if you like I can offer to have a quick look at your chart, even if only to check the distance between your natal Neptune and Pluto.
Mine is 60 degrees, and here is what Bob Markansky's article said about that:

1. EMPHASIS (Doing). All aspects within one degree of exactitude reveal their meaning in its purest, knee-jerk-responsive form - "as near impersonal as it is possible for them to be and yet be individual experiences." Thus natives with Neptune sextile Pluto within one degree of exactness are the most compulsively pragmatic and individualistic - not in the sense of being rebellious or flaunting their independence of spirit, but rather they are self-contained lone wolves. They are idealists off on their own tangents, hence they are not especially successful in mundane affairs unless the rest of the chart is dynamic. They have considerable self-discipline, are self motivated and self-starting, and are conscientious and dedicated. On the negative side they lack perspective: they are too focused on the path beneath their feet and easily become mired in their thinking. Their individualism manifests as a naive doggedness and scrupulosity which inspires others with its unassuming honesty and integrity. Examples: Dan Aykroyd, Mikhail Baryishnikov, John Belushi, Alice Cooper, Farrah Fawcett, Bill Gates, Michael Jackson, Magic Johnson, Jay Leno, Madonna, Maria Shriver, Stevie Wonder.

[araucaria]

to check the distance between your natal Neptune and Pluto.
62°, which seems to be 3, borderline 2:

2. CHANGE (Thinking). All aspects between one and two degrees of exactness indicate flexibility, the ability to adapt oneself to changing conditions - "universals are only to be perceived in terms of constant flux." This means that natives with Neptune sextile Pluto greater than one but less than two degrees from exactitude are the most experimentally pragmatic and individualistic: eager to learn new things and to examine situations and other people's ideas and motivations from different points of view. Like the one's, the two's are hardworking and competent (all Neptune sextile Pluto natives are - Dr. Jones' keyword for the sextile is PRODUCTION), but the reach here is more towards understanding than psychological independence. They are thoughtful, introspective, and arrive at solutions to problems by thinking them through rather than bulldozing ahead. On the negative side, lacking the single-mindedness of the one's, they can come across as being indecisive, bland, and wishy-washy: too lacking in firmness to be masterful (unless the rest of the chart cooperates). Their individualism manifests as a naive intellectual curiosity which inspires others with its unpretentious open-mindedness. Examples: David Bowie, Albert Gore, Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, Tonya Harding, Nancy Kerrigan, Elton John, Dan Quayle, Steven Spielberg, Howard Stern, Robin Williams, Oprah Winfrey.

3. GROWTH (Relating). All aspects between two and three degrees of exactitude symbolize friendliness - "the expanding element of simple co-operation in being. It is the basis of pure social relationship, the emanation of … self to the point of fellowship with other selves." Accordingly, natives with Neptune sextile Pluto between two and three degrees of exactitude are the most socially pragmatic and individualistic: outgoing, gregarious, eager to please; yet still original - fun-loving and mischievous, with a true sense of irony. They are cheerfully optimistic, and enjoy other people instead of analyzing them (two's) or ignoring them (one's). They live and let live, and try to turn aside from conflict and unpleasantness. On the negative side they are inclined to sidestep or slough off problems, to let things slide until they build to a crisis (rather than tackling them directly or thinking them through). Their individualism manifests in a detached, light, unconcerned manner which inspires others with its graciousness and buoyant hopefulness. Examples: Princess Anne, Prince Charles, Princess Diana, Prince, Tom Cruise, Mia Farrow, Arsenio Hall, Diane Keaton, Liza Minelli, Bill Murray, John Travolta, Jann Wenner.

Hoping to contribute later.

I found an interview with Carlita Shaw (who made the thread) on Ravenstar's Witching Hour :
Hour One : https://youtu.be/OkY9FePgVlU
Hour Two : https://youtu.be/B88GAJ0rv5o

As an ecologist, and author of The Silent Ecocide: The Environmental Crisis is a Crisis of Human Consciousness, she covers a variety of topics over the 2 hours, including...

Our environmental challenges and conflicting climate science - The oppression of indigenous people who retain knowledge of medicinal plants, and also those fighting to protect their land - The wisdom of the shamanic way, connecting with earth and the cosmos – Transhumanism, HAARP, chemtrails - The importance of ocean life in providing vast amounts of the earth's oxygen - The difficulty getting published in the mainstream when you choose to talk about free energy technologies - How the elite won't be able to continue repressing pioneering technologies with the growing consciousness shift - The sovereign power we all have to make a difference.

A couple of snippets :

"...There's a lot of new age, toxic information out there about, you know : 'Try and stay positive all the time and your positivity will change the reality outside of you.' But that's just not the case. Because if it was we would have gotten rid of the problem by now. Right? It's a lot more complicated than that. It's a combination of being self-aware, and quietening the inside, but also taking your preferred method of external action to pioneer a new way, a new blueprint of a more harmonious earth. A more sustainable planet that many of us envision. That vision is within us for a reason, and it's partly the earth speaking through us..."

"...Unconditional love is so much stronger than their idea of transhuman evolution, thinking that's a superior way to connect with God source. Well no, the way to connect with God source, you can do it quite easily sitting in a forest and just breathing nature in around you, and realising that you're already connected..."

Me thinks this is the same Carlita, going by the biog here : http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/carlita-shaw-montross.html

Love, Sierra

Mornin', Sierra. I experienced quirky up and downs last evening. I struggled to not lay blame on the outside world. It still lingers. And for the last week, a deeper clarity hits my radar screen out of nowhere. There's refined integration of knowledge, thoughts and gut knowing.

As for the Waxwing, Ted Andrews, of “Animal Speak,” says it’s a member of the cardinal family so I’ll add. See what jumps out for you.

Waxwing
KEYNOTE: Gentleness and Courtesy

CYCLE OF POWER: Spring-Summer

With respect to their mask-like appearance - Masks are tools for transformation, but most people fear change and transition. They believe it to be traumatic. The waxwing can show how change and transformation can occur as gently and easily as you desire. The waxwing shows how to use masks, head gear, and paint to create a doorway in the mind, a threshold that you can cross to new dimensions.

The waxwing is a gentle and polite bird. They are often known to pass food to each other. If waxwing has come into your life, look at the gentleness you are experiencing or missing within your life. Are others extending gentleness to you the courtesy you deserve? Are you extending to them the courtesy they deserve? Do you need to start seeing yourself and others from a new perspective? Are you possibly not being gentle enough to yourself? The waxwing will show you how to awaken gentleness as a true virtue within your life.

Cardinal
KEYNOTE: Renewed vitality through recognizing self-importance
CYCLE OF POWER: Year-round (often with a rhythm of 12 - hours, days, months, years)


The cardinal’s presence reflects a time to renew our vitality. It reflects lessons in developing and accepting a new sense of our own true self-importance.
Regardless of the time of day or year, we always have opportunity to renew our own vitality and recognize the importance of our own life roles.
In the case of the cardinal, the female joins in on the whistling, which is unusual among birds. This reflects that we should be listening to the inner voice (the feminine) more closely for our own health and well-being. Since most female birds usually are quiet and camouflaged, a cardinal totem almost always reflects a need to assert the feminine aspects of creativity and intuition more strongly.

Steven D. Farmer. “Animal Spirit Guides.”


Someone needs your compassionate and loving attention.
This is a very creative time, one where it’s best to heed your intuitive guidance as to how to express this creativity.
You much prefer a stable living situation, so you tend to stay in the same place for long periods of time.
You have access to a powerful feminine creative energy, and are able to listen closely to your intuitive guidance.

Mediterranean :sun:

lHgzGhhUx0Q


Perhaps because my childhood
continues playing on your beach,
and hidden behind the canes
my first love sleeps,
I wear your light and your smell
wherever I go,
and piled on your sand
I keep love,plays(1) and sorrows.

I,that in my skin have
the bitter flavour of the eternal crying,
which a hundred peoples(nations)(2) have shed into you
from Algeciras to Istanbul,
so that you can paint in blue
their long nights of Winter.
Beacause of misadventures,
your soul is deep and dark.

My eyes got used to
your red dusks
like the bend to the truck...
I am a singer,I am a liar,
I like gambling(3) and wine,
I have the soul of a sailor...
What can I do?
I was born in the Mediterranean.

And you approach,and you leave
after kissing my small village.
Playing with the tide
you go away,thinking of returning.
You are like a woman
scented(4) with tar
who is missed and loved,
who is known and feared.

Oh...! If the fate(death)(5)comes
in search of me an unhappy day.
Push my boat to the sea
with an autumnal east wind(levante)(6)
and allow the storm
can strip its white wings.
And bury me without mourning
between the beach and the sky...

In the hillside of a mountain,
higher than the horizon.
I want to have a good view.
My body will be way,
I will give green to the pines
and yellow to the broom...
Near the sea.Because I was born
in the Mediterranean.

Interesting article on how emotional or physical trauma may cause a "piece(s) of our soul to flee".

The Power of Shamanism to Heal Emotional and Physical Illness
(http://www.sandraingerman.com/sandrasarticles/abstractonshamanism.html)
Some main points:

Illness from A Shamanic Perspective
Power Loss
Soul Retrieval: How Shamans Heal Trauma


"It is believed that whenever we suffer an emotional or physical trauma a piece of our soul flees the body in order to survive the experience. The definition of soul that I am using is soul is our essence, life force, the part of our vitality that keeps us alive and thriving."

"The types of trauma that could cause soul loss in our culture would be any kind of abuse: sexual, physical, or emotional. Other causes could be an accident, being in a war, being a victim of a terrorist act, acting against our morals, being in a natural disaster (a fire, hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc.), surgery, addictions, divorce, or death of a loved one. Any event that causes shock could cause soul loss. And what might cause soul loss in one person might not cause soul loss in another. Shamans believe that alarm clocks can cause soul loss. I think we all know what they mean."

"There are many common symptoms of soul loss. Some of the more common ones would be dissociation where a person does not feel fully in his or her body, alive and fully engaged in life. Other symptoms include chronic depression, suicidal tendencies, post traumatic stress syndrome, immune deficiency problems, and grief that just does not heal. Addictions are also a sign of soul loss as we seek external sources to fill up the empty spaces inside of us whether through substances, food, relationships, work, or buying material objects. Anytime someone says, “ I have never been the same since” a certain event and they don’t mean this in a good way, soul loss has probably occurred."

Amazing: spoof story by The Onion turns out to be a scoop:

"Haaretz graciously admitted in a blog post that: “There’s no other way around it: the fake newspaper broke the story.”

"When The Onion is the most reliable news source about your country, you know you’re a mess"

The Onion quoted a fake State Department spokesman, who said: “Bibi always gets a little cranky when he sees us talking to Iran, but a few dozen short-range surface-to-surface missiles usually cheer him right up.“Of course, we try not to spoil him by giving him a whole new tactical ballistics delivery system every single time he throws a fit, but our guy’s pretty good at getting his way. At least we’ll have a couple months of peace and quiet around here.”

How are the wood pigeons?

[RunningDeer]

How are the wood pigeons?

Hi Silkie,

I’m not certain. I’m too afraid to check. A couple of things I noticed when I went back early the next day: the replacement nest was tipped in such a way that either Momma and Papa entered or a predator, and the same pigeon is still there from when I hung the nest.

I’ve been adding food for her under the tree. Either way, The Twins are in a better place than on the ground and in the baking sun. That’s the only way I can reconcile my feelings.

I thought I heard them chirping on my walk today but I was too chicken to investigate. The reason why no one sees baby pigeons is because they stay in the nest for sixty days. Which is twice as long as most fledglings. So, I figured there’s time enough to say, “Hi-ho” from a distance or time enough to accept that they’ve upgrade their wings to Angel ones.

For people that missed the post, I researched where it’s an old wives' tale that the parents won’t accept their young if handled by humans. Typically, parents are close by to keep an eye on them if they fall out of the nest. If you can’t find the original one, then build a makeshift one out of a container. Poke holds in it and add paper towel and wash clothes. The Mama and Papa will continue with their duties in the substitute home.

I got me a gorilla cart, for hauling around all these straw bales I got. I'm going to be trying out bale gardening in the woods, where the soil is basically sand and clay with a thin layer of humus on top (carrots are the only thing that ever grew). The new wagon will also be one heck of a toy.

Sure wish we were seeing Flash around these parts.

I’m guessing it’s a joke? Cuz, when I pull the image onto my desktop the jpg file is called, “BILLETE AVION EN BLANCO” which translates as “plane ticket in white”. (You can also read it in the link itself.)

Check out Dan’s ticket here (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zqBuA-OumXc/T8Pwn_o7KXI/AAAAAAAACyM/W__Ea4NaCD0/s1600/BILLETE%2BAVION%2BEN%2BBLANCO.jpg). :plane:

Hi ILOVEYOU.
I'm in Paris Now. Was you who chose this beautiful tall woman for tonight's party? .......I feel.... we'll talk tomorrow.:confused:

[araucaria]

Here in France we are in the final third week of the Tour de France, a cycle race that has a huge publicity caravan preceding the racers and millions of campers and holiday-makers joining cycling enthusiasts along the 3,000 km circuit. It is also a big TV soap for several hours each afternoon, combining the sport with stunning pictures of the beautiful regions and landmarks of France, so there’s something for everyone, granny included. So not only is there big money in all this, it is also a good way of pushing in people’s faces that the circus they are witnessing is not all it appears. Doping is so firmly established, and detection is so consistently lagging behind, that all the leaders are being prejudged by the public at large on the basis of the past sins of their predecessors. Deniability is still in place, but it is no longer very plausible. When accusations are made, they fall on the riders, who are (with the one major exception of Lance Armstrong) mostly nice fellows grinding out a living, i.e. deflected away from the team sponsors, most notably Sky, which as a sports TV channel has several fingers in this pie. Not only do they control how images come into people’s living-rooms, they have turned it into a campaign of self-promotion, with their advertisement on the yellow jersey of the winner, whose identity has never been in doubt almost from the get-go.

Cycling is a team sport and this is the level at which any doping takes place. It has become institutionalized, and since money is involved, it is not only a breach of sporting ethics, it is a crime. And since several individuals are involved, that makes it a conspiracy. Hence the disconnect, the loophole, is between the presumption of innocence that is rightly a cornerstone of our legal system, and the presumption of guilt that assails anyone who is not totally naïve. And clearly there are large numbers of people who once bitten are now twice shy: the technical and tactical aspects of the event have pretty well disappeared from media stories and online comments sections.

Team Sky has been building its image of cleanness in comparison with what went on before. Many former Tour de France winners have been stripped of their titles, most notably seven-time winner Lance Armstrong; but there has been a lack of clean riders in the top twenty to name a real winner. So dope testing is working, albeit too late for realtime bans. You can build a clean image by rejecting anyone remotely connected with doping bans. But if winning means making the classic climbs at similar speeds to the proven dopers, then you can be expected to come under suspicion, not of anything provable at this time, but of being both literally and metaphorically one step ahead.

However, during the last twenty years, a new method has been being tested, which shows that the belated bans hit 62.5% of those who failed this new test, which is itself not foolproof.
http://www.lemonde.fr/tour-de-france/article/2015/07/08/en-20-ans-48-coureurs-inhumains-par-antoine-vayer_4675127_1616918.html

The interesting part of this new test lies in the different method – no longer screening for known substances while unknown ones are being missed, but defining what is humanly possible in the toughest situations on steep mountains, and then measuring actual performances with a radar-type technique, classing the inhuman ones into suspects, miracle-men and mutants. The threshold is set at an output of 410 watts (more precisely 7W/kg); although some proven cheats would have been missed, beyond that threshold there is reportedly no way you are not cheating somehow. Half of the 30 suspects (up to 430 watts) have been caught, ditto 73% of the 15 miracle-men (up to 450 watts), and all 3 mutants (over 450 watts). These are average values. While what I have to say is not dependent on these figures being correct, they sound about right in confirming that current testing is pretty good (but not good enough), but mostly too slow.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/othersports/article-3167487/Sir-Dave-Brailsford-leaps-TV-defence-Chris-Froome-Tour-France-doping-allegations-rage-on.html

Of course, any presumption of cheating is predicated on the assumption that we are dealing with humans. We can question this basic assumption in two ways. We may be dealing with clean humans on a doped bike – for example, a miniaturized motor would give you an extra edge at certain crucial moments (accelerating past the opposition), and there is evidence to suggest this is something that is going on. There are the guys who can effortlessly leave the field standing, and another guy who falls off his bike and his rear wheel carried on spinning.
http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/Moteur-dans-les-velos-les-images-du-grand-soupcon/547773
http://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Actualites/Chris-froome-sky-n-a-pas-seme-la-mefiance/574244

These are things that the ‘radar’ check will test positive, since it doesn’t matter whether the free energy is coming from – the man or the bike. By far the likelier cause of outrageous performances is a doped bicycle, which is a problem because the only way to test the bike specifically would be to make the tubular frame out of some transparent material.

If it is not the bike, then the other way we can question this basic assumption that we are dealing with humans is by taking seriously the not entirely serious comments that are becoming increasingly frequent – seriously enough to want to test the idea of a new kind of doping on an altogether novel, inhuman level; namely that some of these guys are either literally “extraterrestrials”, “aliens”, “from another planet” – no traditional doping required on straight non-humans. “Sky’s the limit” is another phrase being bandied about.

30639

Or failing that, we could be dealing with “mutants”, “miracle-men”, i.e. humans that have somehow been modified to enhance their performance beyond the normally expected levels. But of course you would definitely need a man with pretty exceptional physical abilities anyway. Team Sky’s main rider is Christopher Froome, a Kenya-born Brit with an unusually high forehead and currently the comfortable Tour de France leader.

30640


Froome appears to have a physiology superior to fellow athletes. His resting heart rate is as low as 29 beats per minute, while his 30-minute power output in the peak form before winning the 2013 Tour de France was 459 watts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Froome#Physiology Another element in the controversy has been the leaking of videos with Froome’s personal physiological data; at one point he is caught accelerating to a peak of 1028 watts!
http://www.eurosport.fr/cyclisme/tour-de-france/2015/tour-de-france-la-video-du-ventoux-2013-qui-met-le-clan-froome-dans-l-embarras_sto4821822/story.shtml
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/cycling/tour-de-france/11737387/Tour-de-France-2015-Chris-Froomes-ride-for-glory-under-threat-in-data-spying-storm.html
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/jul/15/chris-froome-independent-testing-fight-doping-allegations

Team Sky is apparently happy to provide personal physiological data of this kind and dispute the analysis made of them. This I would say is because the issue does not lie there at all. Providing figures is merely a way of saying tautologically they can do this because they are physically equipped to do so. It does not explain how the goalposts have been moved to make previously impossible performances possible. No doubt some genetic analysis would be required to distinguish between individuals with new abilities and the rest of us. If this is not done now, then later will be too late: the moving goalposts will be validated unwittingly and tacitly, once and for all. Alternatively, if it were to be done, then a new division would be needed between humans and non-humans/mutants, on similar lines to junior/senior, lightweight/heavyweight, men/women divisions in other sports. Quite obviously, you only have to look at the gender issue to understand that this is a distinction that is nowhere near happening.

Given that a) it is a fact of life that sportswomen’s performances are way below men’s, and b) in sports such as tennis, women’s prize money has risen to parity or near parity (the rightness of which is not in question), and c) cheating is rife in sport, then the logical conclusions are that d) it would be rather amazing if no one was trying to take advantage of the situation, and e) there would be efforts to make the real rationale of the situation taboo, behind the shield of irrelevant political incorrectness, including race. Hence in the case of tennis, any real debate would have no place for the ‘femininity police’ mentioned in the article below.
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jul/14/serena-williams-female-athletes-femininity-police

Counter-intuitively, as we have moved away from the simple male/female dichotomy towards a more varied landscape, gender issues have become increasingly touchy. Gender testing used to exist in the old days of East Germany simply because some athletes were liable to fail the test – not because they personally were cheating, but because they were part of a federation that placed winning over any other concern. Similarly the delightful Williams sisters can be safely removed altogether from our discussion of this issue, since they would actually be major victims of this scam. One thing that is well established in tennis is the prevalence of pushy parents and over-ambitious coaches and trainers, and additionally, in the case of girls, sexually abusive males in positions of authority. In France, we recently had the case of the father who ended up in jail for lacing his kid’s opponents’ drinks bottles with a tranquillizer: one opponent was a young adult, who got killed driving home from the match. And we have had allegations of sexual abuse from top female professionals. You also have Patty Schnyder, who reached world n°7, and whose ex-husband, trainer and guru is apparently in trouble with the law for dilapidating her 8 million+ prize money. So this is very much not conspiracy theory but mainstream news.

I would make two points: a) while the Williams’ huge success in the women’s game may or may not be due to some degree to a dose of masculinity, to put it clumsily, this particular instance masks a wider issue: in the absence of regulations to the contrary, anyone possessing ID marked “F” is rightfully entitled to enter women’s competitions, which nowadays could have the unfortunate effect of taking certain levels of competition outside of most women’s physical range; b) with regard specifically to the Williams case, the only aspect of this situation that deserves, but is unlikely to get, investigation would be the scenario whereby their father and coach, who admits to having pushed them from too early an age and indeed planned their careers before they were born (legal forms of abuse), maybe abused them in this altogether more serious way for obvious motives of financial gain.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Williams_%28tennis_coach%29
http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/williams-father-has-the-last-laugh-1.319173

So once again, we have, beneath the layer of misguided, misdirected suspicions of the corruption now rampant in most areas of society, more of these other suspicions that are not unprovable, merely politically untestable. This has reached such a pitch that the armchair sportsman aka couch potato is disturbed by being no longer sure if he is watching men or mutants, cycling or motor cycling, women’s tennis or men’s. Beyond the merits or demerits of any particular instance, what can be said with a fair degree of certainty is that, as with politics, for large numbers of ordinary people the age of innocence is well and truly over.

Dan, I love your creativity and your excellent humor. At other times and in other places we would have shot 1735 episodes of that series, the plot seems highly promising. But Iloveyou feels the need to hide in the woods of Brittany for a while.

You see, in Paris you're never to be alone.

“The facades of the houses are worn and faded, but they are not intimidating. In the concierge's loge the canaries are already singing or taking a bath. The sidewalks are lined with trees and the birds are chirping madly. The aroma of fresh-baked bread greets the nostrils, the stalls are full of fruit, the butcher has set out his most attractive cuts. People are carrying their groceries home in their two arms. The stationer is selling the morning papers. It is a quiet humdrum routine, soothing to the nerves. The day does not begin with a bang; it sneaks in like a young girl who has been up all night. I go from shop to shop selecting what I need. I do this for each meal. Occasionally I have lunch at a nearby restaurant. On the way home I stop sometimes to pay my respects to the stationer; I buy a book which he recommands just for the pleasure of chatting with him a little longer. At the corner I sit down to have a black coffee with a dash of rum. At the tobacconist's I stop to buy a pack of cigarettes and have another drink. No hurrying. The day is interminable.”

Leave those strange partys and go strolling along the streets, I'll join you when I'm back. :bearhug:

Lots of folks rushing around today. Is it because it’s Friday? At least five people went through stop signs. All before lunch time.

I saw lots of babies and toddlers that were filled with giggles and smiles. One of their missions is to remind us of here and now. They're the keepers of purity and freedom. And they open up spaces for us to see who or what we’ve allow to be joy-stealers.

Here it is, 3:06p.m. in my neck of the woods. Here? Owensboro, KY. USA. Just a podunk little town but it's nice. Anyhoo, I am sitting at my desk and reading these little blurbs about daily life snags and I start thinking about my routine for today. Well I went to bed at 8: 15 a.m. this morning finally tired and I remember thinking, man I cannot go to sleep, but I have to I am so tired! I finally managed to dose off. When I woke up it was to find all the pets in my bed sleeping with me. I wondered why they were? Oh well. Mine is not to reason why but just know, they love me and find their comfort by being near me. It's as simple as that. I get up as I can't tary long in bed when I awake as my bladder let's me know, I have to get up and go relieve myself. I then go to the kitchen and fix my breakfast, whatever I can assemble. I can't do much as I am disabled and it can be a hastle. My lower back feels like it's gonna break. That's the first pain of the day whenever I get around; my back starts to protest, my right hip is another. So goes my days. I am caught up in these snares after having 3 strokes and heart failure brought on by Diabetes no doubt. If I had, had any inkling the diabetes would lead to these problems would it have made a difference or just be postponed? Just postponed I think. I am chained to a walker now and feel like I need a wheel chair but my Doc says he won't prescribe one for me. I might surprise him and get one anyway. It's gonna cost without medical insurance but I have need of it. He does not understand that.
Anyway, about breakfast, I fix what I am able to and then go back to my bedroom to eat it and peruse the internet. Sometimes I get a wild hair and decide to suffer through fixing eggs and toast and bacon or so if I have it. I like my eggs see. I like my coffee too. Sometimes I fix some as my son comes wandering in to see if I am setting things on fire or not. lol! Oh geez! I get a phone call, it's one of home health workers saying she' coming in 10 minutes for my bath. Routine on Fridays. I call her back to tell her I got the message abnd I'll be ready for her arrival. About the internet, I have specific things I do like FARMERAMA, Friendly Farmers Forum, and FACEBOOK games like CRIMINAL CASE, etc. I don't play too many games but I like to occupy my mind a little bit each day. I like to play solitaire when I can too. Otherwise I like to go outside in my backyard and sit and swing. I can't garden anymore as I can't bend down to do it. So I enjoy the fruits of my plantings from the past. At least I have those. I reconcile myself to bygone days of when I could do things and could walk without aid and do for myself, an independent spirit. Heck, I could even play the guitar and sing; those were the days my friends, I thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and again. We'd pick the life we'd choose, we'd fight and never lose, those were the days, oh yes those were the days. And so my saga comes to an end sorta. I don't wanna relinquish my grasp entirely. I ain't ready to give up. I am still here, living and breathing and when I need to, I protest my helplessness. I am still fighting my existence. I am. I got my rest , now I am ready to do battle with life as I know it. :shielddeflect:

p.s. oh! I noticed somebody has the same name as my real name; Jean Marie! Funny I hardly ever run across that name. I am nonplussed. Hi. Nice to meet somebody with the same name. That's a trip! :flower: I must be in the right place then!

Hello mo mo,:wave:

Welcome to Avalon and to the Village. Thank you for sharing your story. You’ll catch bits and piece of ours over time.

I’ll share one thing about me. It’s important to hear what I tell myself. The brain is like a computer. What I feed it/program it, it’ll put out in kind. So for me, life is not a battle. It’s an opportunity to work out the kinks in a beliefs that no longer serve me and to discover the greater picture of why I’m here. Those alone keep me busy.

There’s more, but instead I wanted to bring up your name sake….Jean-Marie. She’ll be back soon. Here’s her post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=972844&viewfull=1#post972844) that explains her adventure. And if you're unable to check out the YouTube videos, I’ll add my response to her and add them here:

“Jean-Marie, enjoy the 30 days change-up at 'Napowan Adventure Base'. No doubt it’s a great place for new challenges and treasured memories for everyone. It never ceases to amaze me how many diverse skills you participate in on an on-going basis, including an instructor at the rifle and shotgun range.”

This is a blanket that I am working on for a friends grandchild that is coming in June! Lots of healing loving intent is being poured into this blanket that I am crocheting.

I will post another update as I finish the blanket and hat and embellish with tiny blue little roses!

He watches it for me. It's
better than waiting at a garage.

We see Henry deftly steer Karen away from the Copa's main
entrance and down the basement steps. A huge bodyguard,
eating a sandwich in the stairwell gives Henry a big
"hello." We see Henry walk right through the basement
kitchen, which is filled with Chinese and Latino cooks
and dishwashers who pay no attention. Karen is being
dragged along, open-mouthed, at the scene. Henry starts
up a stained kitchen staircase through a pair of swinging
doors and suddenly Karen sees she is inside the main
room. The harried maitre d' (he is surrounded by
customers clamoring for their tables) waves happily at
Henry and signals to a CAPTAIN. We see a table held
aloft by two waiters wedging their way toward the stage
and plant the table smack in front of what had until that
moment been a ringside table. As Henry leads Karen to
their seat, she sees that he is nodding and shaking
hands with many of the other guests. We see Henry
quietly slip twenty dollar bills to the waiters.

You gave them twenty dollars each?

When I was younger thirty was the age we could not imagine ever reaching.
And Mick once announced that he would be dead by the time he was thirty.

And today he turned 72.
Time flies....
time has flown.
And will fly even faster from now on.

He was so, so beautiful when he was young.

As a guy, I think he has exaggerated features. The perfect body and face for some caricature drawing. Which happened to him quite a bit, as I recall. Him and Steven Tyler from Areosmith. A pair of bookends....

Here are some balanced features, for the sake of balance.
Even if the culture behind this pic was a bit exaggerated ...

Don't drop by as much as I used to ... but seems there used to be a bit more music here ... or perhaps I am simply getting old???

Just finished watching a documentary of Joan Rivers and hats off on my end for her and her likes as M. Monroe. Great women caught in a context them both might have wanna done without.

Less of a caricature, but Roger Waters has unique facial features, too.

Someone asked me a question and the reply is good for all, as reminder or general data, whatever the case may be.

On finding and maintaining peak moments, so they are not lost. To move forward within them, within their context.

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

In my experience it is the same effect of learning a new skill. It takes time for the neurological changes to take hold, so that the reflexes become natural and flow freely.

In this case it is the new information that has to take hold and flow freely. The new thinking has to take hold and flow freely. Like physical workouts, it takes repetition and constancy to make it take hold, and when we slip back into no work, for too long a time, we lose that skill, we lose that health of the body, that strength of the body.

Neurological change is the same in that regard of how it happens.

I've had that happen quite a bit, where I'll have peak moment a peak realization, and it will slip away. To feel it slipping away, as it is just revealed. Nothing evil about it , nothing about contrary influence (entities, etc), unless you can call the context of relation to and of the rest of the world ....being the thing that causes the fall back or slip back down the slope, from that peak moment.

Sometimes, to write peak things/moments down, this can sometimes help. But they can also sound and look like gobbledygook to us when we read them back later on, as the connectivity moment is gone and the context is missing.

The deal is that it is not like driving down a road and then stop the car and put a marker in the soil. The car may hold it's own but our mind cannot. Not immediately, at least. The mind is, metaphorically speaking, on a slope. Trying to drive up a slope. and it's brakes are weak, and subject to failure, if there is no regular and constant maintenance. No matter what one does with their brain, it is always on a slope. Either parked on it, or driving up it. Or slipping backward. There is no resting plateau, in reality, there is only a given short rest time that we might, though desire...mistake for a plateau. The slope is a constant and rust is never sleeping.

It is neurological exercise, creating both the actual pathways, space and potential, so it is of the mind's needs and ways. How it operates, is key to dealing with the variances in condition. Food, health, good mindfulness, good exercise so the whole machine/body is running like a top.

Not being involved in degenerative mental processes which hamper the attempt. Arguing with the world, being in conflict in the given environment, for elevating the mind.... is like eating a box of donuts when you are trying to get strong, healthy, capable, and slim.

This is tied to why 'life on a smart phone' is dangerous.

It seems like a larger world, at first, but in fact, it is like learning to drive a car, which is a limited skill set that has no future beyond itself. It does not open doors beyond it's limits, it curtails intelligence into a repetitious rut shutting off neurons which previously explored the world, in order to open one's vistas into potentials, potentials in newness and variance, unknowns. New tests and scientific studies are showing that 'life on a smart phone' is dumbing people down.

The open world potential of a human mind...is neurologically lost, neurologically removed ...exchanged...for a small comfortable repetitious circle.

Here it is, 3:06p.m. in my neck of the woods. Here? Owensboro, KY. USA. Just a podunk little town but it's nice. Anyhoo, I am sitting at my desk and reading these little blurbs about daily life snags and I start thinking about my routine for today. Well I went to bed at 8: 15 a.m. this morning finally tired and I remember thinking, man I cannot go to sleep, but I have to I am so tired! I finally managed to dose off. When I woke up it was to find all the pets in my bed sleeping with me. I wondered why they were? Oh well. Mine is not to reason why but just know, they love me and find their comfort by being near me. It's as simple as that. I get up as I can't tary long in bed when I awake as my bladder let's me know, I have to get up and go relieve myself. I then go to the kitchen and fix my breakfast, whatever I can assemble. I can't do much as I am disabled and it can be a hastle. My lower back feels like it's gonna break. That's the first pain of the day whenever I get around; my back starts to protest, my right hip is another. So goes my days. I am caught up in these snares after having 3 strokes and heart failure brought on by Diabetes no doubt. If I had, had any inkling the diabetes would lead to these problems would it have made a difference or just be postponed? Just postponed I think. I am chained to a walker now and feel like I need a wheel chair but my Doc says he won't prescribe one for me. I might surprise him and get one anyway. It's gonna cost without medical insurance but I have need of it. He does not understand that.
Anyway, about breakfast, I fix what I am able to and then go back to my bedroom to eat it and peruse the internet. Sometimes I get a wild hair and decide to suffer through fixing eggs and toast and bacon or so if I have it. I like my eggs see. I like my coffee too. Sometimes I fix some as my son comes wandering in to see if I am setting things on fire or not. lol! Oh geez! I get a phone call, it's one of home health workers saying she' coming in 10 minutes for my bath. Routine on Fridays. I call her back to tell her I got the message abnd I'll be ready for her arrival. About the internet, I have specific things I do like FARMERAMA, Friendly Farmers Forum, and FACEBOOK games like CRIMINAL CASE, etc. I don't play too many games but I like to occupy my mind a little bit each day. I like to play solitaire when I can too. Otherwise I like to go outside in my backyard and sit and swing. I can't garden anymore as I can't bend down to do it. So I enjoy the fruits of my plantings from the past. At least I have those. I reconcile myself to bygone days of when I could do things and could walk without aid and do for myself, an independent spirit. Heck, I could even play the guitar and sing; those were the days my friends, I thought they'd never end, we'd sing and dance forever and again. We'd pick the life we'd choose, we'd fight and never lose, those were the days, oh yes those were the days. And so my saga comes to an end sorta. I don't wanna relinquish my grasp entirely. I ain't ready to give up. I am still here, living and breathing and when I need to, I protest my helplessness. I am still fighting my existence. I am. I got my rest , now I am ready to do battle with life as I know it. :shielddeflect:

p.s. oh! I noticed somebody has the same name as my real name; Jean Marie! Funny I hardly ever run across that name. I am nonplussed. Hi. Nice to meet somebody with the same name. That's a trip! :flower: I must be in the right place then!
Boy, I had a lot to say. Holy smokes! Anyway I hope y'all will read what I said and can understand where I am coming from. I opened myself to you. It's as if I feel the caring already in your midst. That's good ain't it? :bearhug:

Take care and ttyl. taa taa! ;)
3:19 p.m. now here.

Hello Mo Mo!

I just got back from Camp!

I am the woman with curly hair on one knee on the left!

I also have not met another Jean Marie yet! I think my mom watched too much petty coat junction. I have a sister Marjorie Sue and another sister Patty Jo! :ROFL::ROFL: Welcome To Avalon! and I really missed everyone when I was gone! :heart:

[RunningDeer]

I really missed everyone when I was gone! :heart:
Nice to have you back, Jean-Marie. You were missed. :blushing:

Cut right to the quick with that one, you did. Good stuff.

No more apartment, nor car, in Barbados. The car finally sold at the eleventh hour.
Back in Costa Rica, which feels like home. What a relief. What a trip...insane...
Might do Barbados only once a year from now on, staying with friends and two weeks maximum.
Found out who my real friends are, and certain people showed their true colors.
Such an eye opener....

Good for you, Ulli! Enjoy your reunion with Mr. Ulli and cats and home and garden. ♡

Sheesh, Carmody. I know well what you speak of. I vascillate between feeling crazy or feeling blank. Struggling to remember or struggling to suspend disbelief. As usual, your post is timely for me.

I'm sorry to hear you have left Barbados, Ulli. I guess part of you will remain. It doesn't sound like the best of circumstances, doesn't feel like that was an easy decision. I hope it is a good move for you, and you have peace about it.

Much Love,
