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,

Hello,

[RunningDeer]

Nice to hear from you, Violet and 1inMany. :wave:

I'm glad that you are home from Barbados, Ulli.

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....

Mick Jagger is much too skinny for my taste, but yeah, with his strong features, he's always been perfect caricature material, for sure.

[araucaria]

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.

This makes a good deal of sense. Over the last few days away from the computer, I looked at something I wrote 6 years ago, not so much a marker as the steep slope itself, as the writing of it was quite a climb. But the intervening period of continued climbing has included a hairpin bend (or a full circle round the mountain), meaning that the milestone is far behind in linear terms, but very close in translinear terms (only a short scramble for someone on foot) and no longer on a level but down below. From the higher perspective, what seemed big back then seems much smaller now.

The paradox of climbing is that looking to one side and upwards, there is very little to inspire: just a wall of rock and an immediate stretch of roadway: enough to make you wonder why you bother. What keeps you going is looking out and down over the ground covered, and beyond. The nostalgia of looking back on where we’ve come from and doing so from a perspective that makes it look so much better than we remembered it can either spur us on to evolve towards better things or to devolve back down the mountain.

This is why what I write today is always going to be a closer approximation than anything I wrote earlier. This is the exact reverse of all kinds of urtexts, ancient sacred writings, holy books and carvings in stone, none of which can ‘stand the test of time’. Nothing stands the test of time, we are all moving on. Just between writing this and posting it, I find another post from Carmody


Reality is quantum in nature, and thus, is on a timeless scale.

When we get to mass atomic structure, we arrive at the timeline unidirectional time universe we call 3D time-space.

We arrive here, we emerge from out of the 2d quantum field aspects. Our existence is a literal -- flowing emergence.

We project INTO the timeline-unidirectional time universe we call 3D. We live by looking out the rear view mirror, and see only into the 3D time universe, when we use our ego and our bodies.

When we realize the inner self, where the flow into this space comes from... the quantum, timeless, multi-dimensional aspects - come forth.

So, Mike, Twain, etc.. think of it this way:

You are standing in a river:

each atom is like a windmill that is spinning from the flow and it is created by the flow. The windmill or atom as a spinning vortex pattern. Seen only in and via their context to one another.

When we think, when we emote, when we walk and talk, when our heart beats, we are looking DOWNSTREAM ONLY, at the past ONLY. VIA the past. all of the universe of 3d time-space and unidirectional time is a history. It is historical. It contains only the past.

Science will tell you that the exact NOW moment is impossible to reach, except by 'quantum spookiness' Which means, in the context of atoms and elements, alloys and chemicals, etc... they all exist in the past, no matter how we measure them, it is always the past. Even though the NOW moment is what makes them go, what they run on, what their interactions stem from.

So, you can look inside and then be in the now moment, out of time, multi-dimensional, anywhere, any time any place, any interaction, any connection....... or continue to look at the past ---of your ass. Literally.

The animal, the body, the avatar that we project into this past via, filters everything. EVERYTHING, and it makes sure that you continue to look at this past timeline 3d time-space universe thing.

Now, importantly, when we project, we can project into and on those historical elements of atoms and the time-space that exists as a relation between them. But remember that within each of them, is a NOW moment, they flow from the eternal all connected NOW moment. And we are connected to all things, we are of that now moment.

So, when someone brings their affected and nasty past into the now moment and projects it upon the atoms and dark matter, in it's emergence into this 'past' thing called 3d reality... ..it can and does affect EVERYTHING.

All the weird science, the alien encounters, the psychic encounters, the whole damn thing, all of it....all you can think of ...is directly explained via this simple explanation. This simple point of vital understanding.

So, to not be negative -as integration, as projection... to not shift and color the emergence of the now moment.... as it flows into being as the past and as representation of the 3D universe that every one reading this tends to call 'reality'.'


For example, crossing dimensions? Beings feeding off us, from other dimensions? Yes, no problemo, definitely possible, as the NOW moment of emergence is the fulcrum point. Other dimensions are simply relational aspects of this flow, at a different angle of integration (connected at the same fulcrum) and interaction. So when you are manipulated into modifying your own reality, this can and does cause energy shifts in other dimensions. it is all frequency dependent energetic vibration, thus ley lines and dimensional crossing zones, dimensional craft that travel through the fulcrum point, and then emerge elsewhere, etc. The list of things that can be explained via this simple point is endless as the questions, as it all fits. and Occam's razors says that..the simplest answer..tends to be the right one.

There is no question in all of science and all weird questions, physics or otherwise....that cannot be answered, when it the analysis is rooted in this simple point.

I got fooled, too. My brother-in-law is a fire chief. I got an up close understanding of firefighters dedication. It's like they're in a zone out there saving lives and property. Real life super heroes.

Prejudice is defined as a "preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience". That being so, the reason The Lapine's joke worked is exactly because of peep's previous experience of narcissistic, photo-op happy politicians.

So you are not prejudiced against campaigning politicians, Ulli. The Lapine used your own wisdom against you...especially since you had never heard of The Lapine and did not know its character...that's all. I would have believed the same thing about any politician...especially American ones.

p.s. I had never heard of The Lapine, either.

Anyone heard anything about a meteor strike in Iran in the last 15 hours (apparently at least three)?

[Violet]

My airplane has landed. Mediterranean sun was unbearable this year. Brains frying in the shadow and unseen inertia. The breezy mountain winds hit us only for a short time before they too turned into hot oven winds that we sought to avoid.

I met some people. They said things and I listened. Some of it I understood and some of it not. Sometimes things get complicated.

But most of all there was the night sky. I spent nearly all my nights under open skies. Indoor sleeping was impossible.

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7326/9686457096_69b70897b3_b.jpg (https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7326/9686457096_69b70897b3_b.jpg)

This is not my picture. I tried to capture it but my cam won't do. I've never seen so much starry action in my whole life. It was wonderful. It was amazing. I am so grateful to have been able to witness...all that.

And one night there was a very low pink fog. Could almost grab it with my hands. It left dewy residue on my sheets. By morning I had already had my shower.

We went to a pretty much deserted mountain area were there was this intermittent buzzing, like clippers (sample (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQBiV-W-LNI)). I heard this as we were driving with open windows. It would last for perhaps a meter, halt abruptly, and then after a bit of driving, there it was again. There was no fade in or out to it. And the car being in constant motion, it was an unusual experience. I looked out for farm activity or other technology in the vicinity that could explain for this seemingly electrically powered sound, but there were no utility poles. It was very loud and so nearby. At one point we stopped the car because we thought it might actually be the car. It wasn't. Someone said it might be crickets, it was getting dark. Those were not crickets. Ongoing cricket sound will fade out when the distance increases, and at the slow speed we were driving we could almost map that falling line. Nope. I feel very stupid for not having recorded the sound because I had my cam right there but I was too busy looking for the source. I did remember to take a picture:


30710


By the way, remember the 111 from one of my profile albums? This particular picture ends in 111, and the zero preceding it separates it from a number that adds up to 11.

I'd love to go back there one day just to find out more, it just a pity that it's so far away and there is nothing else to do around there. The time we had for exploration was very short because the sun was setting and this is not a safe place to be at night, with no light.

Back here in Belgium, listening to radio "warnings" of a hot day coming up. Kind of makes me laugh. Today was a prelude, I'm wearing socks.

East coast has been hit with heat and humidity. I’m running an experiment. That damn monster air conditioner was a drain on my psyche. It triggers vulnerability and “What if the grid goes down? What then?”

I thought about it some more. Up until I moved here, I never had an air conditioner. And I’ve lived in some stuffy 2nd and 3rd floor apartments with no cross ventilation. Back in the day, one trusty fan got hauled from one room to another. By the end, there was more dust on it’s blades then wind coming out. Poor thing. It’s last days were spent in my classroom. I left it behind to a custodian when I retired. He had cleaned out all it’s working parts for me. They don’t make fans like that anymore.

Back to the damn monster air conditioner…I’ve benched it for the season. A side benefit is that my electric bill is down 33% from the same month last year even though I run 2-3 fans at night to cool my place down. I invested in those insulated curtains that keep the heat out. Soooo damn monster air conditioner is off my bucket list of emotional energy zappers. Ahhhh! Fresh air.

So's my toaster. It’s been 10 weeks today since I had bread at home. If birds had fir instead of feathers, they'd have shiny coats. They've been eating the last three loaves of my Ezekiel stash. Four more slices and then there were none. I gave it up because I feared I couldn’t. When I’m out with friends and family, I go with the flow.

Silly, bread’s a small thing. But it’s the small things that help me keep the gutsy parts of me well oiled.

Speaking of which, coffee’s back. One a day. I’m waiting for a coffee grinder, organic coffee, a Hario V60 Ceramic Coffee Dripper and two cool Le Creuset mugs to arrive by week’s end. I tossed out my coffee paraphernalia a couple of year ago including my favorite coffee cup from the 1970’s. (See method and equipment below.)

Such silliness for one cup of coffee. I feel like I'm playing house. Actually, I feel like I play house a lot these days.

I decided to change things up when I read an article on orthorexia which is a new word and topic for me.

I hear you about the air conditioner. I haven't used one in many years, and when I am in one for too long, I start to feel as if I am in a refrigerator.

p.s. I have ceiling fans, and insulated curtains, too. They're both wonderful.

I save YouTube videos like that. I fully appreciate the innovation. I plan to make them, but to date, I’ve not tried a one.

The candle heater comes to mind. It was one of those Zen Q&A's, “What if the grid goes down? What’ll I do, Pauler? What...will...you...do.” [Music fades.]

When I first moved in, I installed a ceiling fan. My ex came over to hold it up and I did the wiring. The last couple of years I haven’t used it much because I don’t plan on installing another one.

It’s twenty-one years old. I hold my breath each time I turn it on. So far, it’s been a successful strategy. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/SEVeyesC08_th.gif

Thought for the day. Duality 101. Tidiness/untidiness (warning, contains politically incorrect wording)


A caveman leaves out his handaxe ready for the next time he needs it in a hurry. Cavewoman tidies it away because she cannot stand the sight of blood. After this happens repeatedly, they end up going their separate ways. Many generations later, divorce rates soar as overtidy and undertidy spouses quarrel. Inevitably, the tidy ones get landed with all the housework because their tolerance level is breached first. After many further generations of Darwinian interbreeding within each type, a breakaway civilization of the anally retentive leaves behind the terminally slovenly. It all started with the tiniest difference of opinion or intolerant gesture, and it is being played out whoever and wherever you are. If such tiny differences can lead to such vast consequences, then it is surely worthwhile to show a little more tolerance or a little more thoughtfulness, whichever side of the harmonious middle-ground we find ourselves on. Not easy, don’t we all know it.

(For the Euros among us....From the above link:
The Guide mentions how little is still considered to be unspeakable in the galaxy, except for the rudest word in existence: "Belgium".)

[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.

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

The short answer?

Beginning now, it takes shape. As in..... yes.

Think Your Conscious Brain Directs Your Actions? Think Again. (http://singularityhub.com/2015/08/02/think-your-conscious-brain-directs-your-actions-think-again/)

All this .....rises into consciousness. That the depths of ourselves, is the real driver. That this point, this reality, this system..comes to our consciousness as an idea an understanding, a fundamental in and of consciousness understanding. A proper 'framing' of it, not just the general understanding. The thought and idea of it becoming synonymous with the averaged open public communication lexicon of life and living.


Think your deliberate, guiding, conscious thoughts are in charge of your actions?

Think again.

In a provocative new paper in Behavioral and Brain Sciences, a team led by Dr. Ezequiel Morsella at San Francisco State University came to a startling conclusion: consciousness is no more than a passive machine running one simple algorithm — to serve up what’s already been decided, and take credit for the decision.


Rather than a sage conductor, it’s just a tiny part of what happens in the brain that makes us “aware.” All the real work goes on under the hood — in our unconscious minds.

The Passive Frame Theory, as Morsella calls it, is based on decades of experimental data observing how people perceive and generate motor responses to odors. It’s not about perception (“I smell a skunk”), but about response (running from a skunk). The key to cracking what consciousness does in the brain is to work backwards from an observable physical action, explains Morsella in his paper.

If this isn’t your idea of “consciousness,” you’re not alone.

Traditionally, theorists tried to tackle the enigmatic beast by looking at higher levels of human consciousness, for example, self-consciousness — the knowledge that you exist — or theory of mind — that you and others have differing beliefs, intents, desires and perspectives. While fascinating on a philosophical level, this approach is far too complex to explain on a fundamental level what consciousness is for.

Instead, Morsella believes that studying basic consciousness ­— the awareness of a color, an urge, a sharp pain — is what will lead to a breakthrough.

“If a creature has an experience of any kind — something it is like to be that creature ­ — then it has this form of consciousness,” Morsella said in an email to Singularity Hub. It doesn’t have to be high-level, and “ it’s unlikely to be unique to humans.”

The Passive Frame Theory goes like this: nearly all the decisions and thoughts that need to be made throughout the day are performed by many parts of the unconscious brain, well below our level of awareness.

When the time comes to physically act on a decision, various unconscious processes deliver their opinions to a central “hub,” like voters congregating at town hall. The hub listens in on the conversation, but doesn’t participate; all it does is provide a venue for differing opinions to integrate and decide on a final outcome. Once the unconscious makes a final decision on how to physically act (or react), the hub — consciousness — executes that work and then congratulates itself for figuring out a tough problem.

In a way, the unconscious mind is like a group of talented ghostwriters working on a movie script for a celebrated screenwriter. If all goes smoothly, they bypass the screenwriter and deliver the final product straight to the next level. If, on the other hand, conflict arises — say the ghostwriters differ in their ideas on how the story should unfold — their argument may reach the ears of that famous screenwriter, who becomes aware of the problem, but nevertheless sits and waits for the writers to figure it all out. Once that happens, the screenwriter hands off the script, and gets all the credit.

Similar to the screenwriter, consciousness doesn’t debate or solve conflict in our heads; consciousness needs to be “on” in order to relay the final outcome — so it is essential — but it doesn’t participate in the nitty-gritty of decision-making.

Why did consciousness emerge in this way? Morsella thinks the answer is evolution.

Like all animals, humans try to conserve mental energy and automate our biological processes. Most of the time we run on instincts, reflexes and minute-to-minute immediate thoughts. Take breathing as an example — it’s completely automated, to the point that consciously trying to maintain a steady rhythm is surprisingly hard. In this case, conscious thought just bogs the process down.

Unlike most animals, however, humans gradually evolved into complex social beings capable of cultivating our intelligence for language and other higher faculties. Faced with increasingly difficult decisions on how to act, we suddenly needed a middleman to slow our unconscious mind down.

conscious-decision-making-dethroned-4 Say you find yourself underwater; your instinct is to breathe, but better judgment — delivered by an unconscious cry of alarm (“don’t breathe!”) — tells you that you would drown. Your unconscious mind orders your consciousness to activate the muscles that will allow you to hold your breath and keep you alive. Consciousness triggers an adaptive motion.

The power of our unconscious mind doesn’t stop at basic bodily functions. In the paper, Morsella cites language — a high-level, complex and perhaps distinctively human faculty — as another product of the unconscious mind.

When you speak, you’re only consciously aware of a few words at a time, and that is only so you can direct the muscles around your mouth and tongue to form those words. What you’re saying is prescribed under the hood; your conscious mind is simply following a script.

Morsella acknowledges that his theory is unconventional and difficult to accept.

"The number one reason it's taken so long to reach this conclusion is because people confuse what consciousness is for with what they think they use it for," Morsella said in a press release accompanying his paper.

But none of this theory takes away our treasured qualities as sentient human beings — our imagination, our language, our sense of self and others — it just points to the unconscious mind as the main player on our brainy fields.

In fact, Morsella hopes his theory could lead to new ideas about intrusive thoughts or obsessions that often occur in mental disorders. “The passivity of consciousness explains why we are aware of urges and thoughts that are maladaptive," Morsella said to Singularity Hub, because it doesn’t know that it shouldn’t be thinking about these thoughts.

“The system is less all-knowing and purposeful than we thought.”



This is part of the script on figuring out the difference between normal people, sociopaths and psychopaths.

How words give them away

To examine the emotional content of the murderers' speech, Hancock and his colleagues looked at a number of factors, including how frequently they described their crimes using the past tense. The use of the past tense can be an indicator of psychological detachment, and the researchers found that the psychopaths used it more than the present tense when compared with the nonpsychopaths. They also found more dysfluencies — the "uhs" and "ums" that interrupt speech — among psychopaths. Nearly universal in speech, dysfluencies indicate that the speaker needs some time to think about what they are saying.

With regard to psychopaths, "We think the 'uhs' and 'ums' are about putting the mask of sanity on," Hancock told LiveScience.

How many politicians have you known that speak like that, or corporate heads? A disturbingly large number of them.....

Battle of Opposites - Metaphysics (http://montalk.net/metaphys/97/battle-of-opposites), by: Tom Montalk of montalk.net (http://montalk.net/)

“The first and most important step in waking up is discerning between the positive and negative. One must differentiate what lifts up and what drags down.”

Snippets:

- Reality aligns when one is in the flow. Confirmation in the form of genuine synchronicities and signs tend to come after the choice has already been made to pursue some positive idea or action.

- When naturally occurring, negative internal resistance originates from psychological inertia and habitual resistance to change, as well as emotional addiction to old ways of being.

- When intentionally induced or amplified, negative internal resistance generally arises from a combination of artificially lowered emotions and destructive posthypnotic suggestions, which send the fickle mind into a downward spiral of rationalization and reinforcement of these triggers. They may manifest passively as impulses that are followed without second thought because they so closely mimic real thought, or they may manifest actively as compulsions that push the mind firmly into resisting some positive action. The latter arises most commonly as procrastination or unfounded bias toward a beneficial field of study. Whatever the case, such influences can be discerned on the basis that they suppress lucidity and emotional balance.

Examples:

incessant critical self-talk
mental block or fog in regards to some constructive thought or action
symptoms of trance state signifying activation of a posthypnotic command
sudden emotional envelopment in a dark cloud
feelings of fear and despair rationalized by dwelling upon personal insecurities
unexplainable hostilities toward a harmless idea or person
clenching sensation abnormally isolated in the solar plexus area and designed to imitate the more subtle gut instinct
symptoms of conversion (mind disobeying a hypnotic command and releasing the pressure in other ways) such as unexplainable fidgeting and sudden feelings of anxiety or panic that come to nothing
positive thoughts immediately countered by discouraging or distracting thought loops.

Been meaning to report in this, but I had to see it as a trend, a continued one. A new reality.

In the area I am at, crows and specifically seagulls (sh!thawks).....have stopped flying.

Now they just walk around in the given parking lots, grass, roads, whenever, wherever.. No fear of humans at all, or cars.

It started about 1.5 months ago.

I'm in deep grief, still.
Not only for nearly losing my son to his in-laws and father's family, but also after returning to Costa Rica, heartbroken, to discover that my dear friend Elaine had passed away while I was gone.
My husband didn't have the heart to inform me earlier, knowing how much I had already on my plate over there in Barbados.

So this huge shock came while digesting my new paradigm.
Elaine and I were nearly astrological twins, born just four days apart.
We met in 1992, when I first moved to Costa Rica, as we were then active members of the Bahai community.
We soon discovered that there were many parallels in our lives, and compared our happenings during our long phone conversations.
Even our spiritual battles ran on parallel rails, confirming to both of us how powerful planetary star gates can be.
I love you, Elaine.
Prayers are needed for her adopted sons.

This thread is a true comfort zone. I love you all.

[araucaria]

So sorry to hear of your friend's passing, Ulli. Thinking of her adopted sons.

I am wondering how this astrological twin thing works. Clearly you were both going through something huge at the same moment on account of something in your chart. But is there anything else going on as well because of your connectedness? And if so, might this somehow extend beyond people you know to astrological twins you don't know?

[Violet]

I'll share that curiosity with you. I have an old friend who is just one day apart. I always felt that we were not much alike but when I take a general look at her life, structurally it looks similar. We met at school, and at a young age we were separated because she was moved to another school. I always kept good memory of her. Some ten years on, by chance, I met someone who happened to know her. And because I was studying her country of origins at the time, I actively went out to find her. From one thing came another. Her mother moved her to my school, I think perhaps against my friend's will. Again, we were separated because she made a different type of friends. They were too superficial for me. Perhaps her belonging to a far higher income class and the exclusive school she came from could explain in part. So, we were together again, but separated still. After high school she chose to study abroad, and we were separated again. In adulthood, it looks like we had the same adversities in the same areas of life. From what I can see (it's not polite to delve too deep there, so I never asked more than I was given), even our family structures and issues seem alike. And some of the choices that I wanted to make but didn't, she made instead. So, it's like I'm looking at what my life could have been like if I had made that choice. It's not always glamorous, I'm happy that I didn't make some of those choices.

We also share a connection to the same key countries: her current country of residence in the Anglosphere and her country of origins. I still have no clue what that means because I would never move to where she lives, though there is much more English in me than I can explain for. As far as her country of origins goes, when I study it, it feels very familiar. Even the complex language fits into my head somehow. Without a profound understanding of it, I know/feel how the syntax is composed. As it happens, the name my parents chose for me is part of this language. I've lost touch with her now though I feel that eventually we might meet again.

Take care, Ulli, my condolences and tons of strength for you all.

Oh, Ulli, I am so sorry!

[araucaria]

I had two male family members born five days apart whose other halves were born on the same day, but I’d need to give the matter some thought before discovering any parallels. This would involve some kind of translation process, whereby A-B situations would be translated into C-D situations.

But actually I was thinking more on the lines of how perhaps some interconnectivity could be worked out between a spiritually oriented person and say someone active enough in 3D reality to have a public profile. This would be more of a cloning process, whereby a spiritual clone might stand in for purposes of modifying certain 3D events and outcomes in a positive direction, or otherwise take the strain. So the relevant sentence in your post is this one:


And some of the choices that I wanted to make but didn't, she made instead. So, it's like I'm looking at what my life could have been like if I had made that choice.

Autistic Boy With Higher IQ Than Einstein Discovers His Gift After Removal From State-Run Therapy
(http://wakeup-world.com/2013/06/04/autistic-boy-discovers-gift-after-removal-from-state-run-therapy/)
After years of frustration and little progress, Kristine made a radical decision in the eyes of the special ed system — she took Jacob out of school and prepared him for kindergarten herself. As described in the New York Daily Times:




She let him explore the things he wanted to explore. He studied patterns and shadows and stars. At the same time, she made sure that he enjoyed “normal” childhood pleasures – softball, picnics – along with other kids his age.

“I operate under a concept called ‘muchness’,” Kristine said “which is surrounding children with the things they love – be it music, or art, whatever they’re drawn to and love.”

By the time Jacob reached the age of 11, he entered college and is currently studying condensed matter physics at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis.

According to an email Professor Scott Tremaine wrote to Jacob’s family:
“The theory that he’s working on involves several of the toughest problems in astrophysics and theoretical physics … Anyone who solves these will be in line for a Nobel Prize.”

But is there anything else going on as well because of your connectedness? And if so, might this somehow extend beyond people you know to astrological twins you don't know?

The other thing which connects us had to do with our spiritual heritage.
I found the Bahai Faith in Barbados, in 1982, when I met a young woman whose great great grandmother was Harriet Beecher Stowe (Uncle Tom's Cabin) and whose grandmother was Dorothy Baker, the first woman Baha'i to serve on the National Spiritual Assembly of the US.
And Elaine was a Baha'i from birth, and her mother Ruth had been taught by the same Dorothy Baker.
We didn't discover this tidbit until years later.

About astrology and choices, the concept of free will is important here.
Most of us think we choose, but normally avoid decisions until we run out of options,
and yet believe afterwards that we made that choice.

Real free will is only applied when a person can see consequences of each option before them,
and then make a choice there and then.
If such a choice is for the greater good, leaving all egotistical considerations aside,
then planetary influence has been transcended.
And this is the goal.
No more excuse like "the planets made me do it".

Here's the description:

I need to own my part,
In order to open my heart,
Feeling my fears and releasing my tears,
Will prepare me for my new start.

This is a cleanse, it is only a cleanse, maybe a long cleanse, but only a cleanse.....As mentioned in the report, this Venus retrograding into the underworld is bringing us down! Down into the lower chakras of earth and water and our feelings around physical and emotional security. How do you get yours? Of course we often get these through relationships which then tend to trigger our shadow.

So part of this process is a cleansing and purifying of the old stuff down there as when we get triggered it brings up past emotions. However, another part of the process is the getting in touch with your own true life purpose, creativity, and passion. Have you noticed that when you are having fun time flies by? Well the same is true when you are doing your passion. And not only time flies by but you don't get all caught up in other people's business and reactions and projections and problems haha!

So let's all remember that when everybody's business and everybody's problems are getting us down it may just be a sign that we are too busy with other people's business! Injoy!

Thanks for all the loving posts, Sierra, Nora, Sstarss, Selkie. And the Pele Report.
I found out that Tom Kaypacha Lescher lives in San Pedro, San Jose, where I used to live.
I would quite like to meet him one day.

Also decided to dive into some Holy Writings to look for teachings on how to deal with grief and rejection.
And apart from some great biblical quotes from the New Testament which deal with faith I found this marvelous Baha'i quote:

Life in this mortal world will quickly come to an end, and this earthly glory, wealth, comfort and happiness will soon vanish and be no more. Summon ye the people to God and call the souls to the manners and conduct of the Supreme Concourse. To the orphans be ye kind fathers, and to the unfortunate a refuge and shelter. To the poor be a treasure of wealth, and to the sick a remedy and healing. Be a helper of every oppressed one, the protector of every destitute one, be ye ever mindful to serve any soul of mankind.
Attach no importance to self-seeking, rejection, arrogance, oppression and enmity. Heed them not. Deal in the contrary way. Be kind in truth, not only in appearance and outwardly. Every soul of the friends of God must concentrate his mind on this, that he may manifest the mercy of God and the bounty of the Forgiving One. He must do good to every soul whom he encounters, and render benefit to him, becoming the cause of improving the morals and correcting the thoughts so that the light of guidance may shine forth and the bounty of His Holiness the Merciful One may encompass.
Love is light in whatsoever house it may shine and enmity is darkness in whatsoever abode it dwell.
Abdu'l-Bahá

These last few days, the smoke has been so thick, I cannot see the last two ridges, even though there are no fires within 150 miles. Better today, I can breathe and walk :)

Another tree fell down in my sis-in-law's neighborhood. It fell on the next door neighbor's house. The drought is getting very scary. The ridges have never shown so much bare rock, spreading patches of deadwood, dead trees.

I've seen four mosquitos this year. One bat per evening. :(

I watched a lovely, and amazing interview by an MKUltra survivor. She makes it very clear it is a cyclic process coming out of programming, all stages at once sometimes. She talks about the enormous level of commitment it requires, sometimes on an daily, hourly, minute by minute basis. She talks about how it is imperative one has a spiritual path, a sense of humor... The more one commits, the more one recognizes the process, and fear instead of being a trigger to defeat, is a trigger to leap, pounce, and devour the next bit of trauma to be processed.

Ok, Grip, you triggered me now.

Still, better than being morose.

My intention of lighting a candle here in the now, coincides with the sad news that a young woman we knew has died of cancer. Just in her twenties she leaves behind her only child and husband. May she rest in peace.

Lighting a candle for us all.

tvgpAaiTyqI



For God('s sake), oh candle (chamaa), I ask you:
What's the matter?
Why are you crying?
Why are you still burning?

Candle,
Return not my questions unanswered
What is that keeps your tears running throughout the night?
(...)
Oh, and if I, dear candle, where to tell you of all that happened to me
you might forget your pain and listen to my long journey
If there is any fire left in you, in me are many fires
(...)
I bear the pains of separation but how to bear the pains of my mind?
(...)
My story precedes me, and the road is very long.
(...)
Oh, candle
It's you they describe in the books
(...)
I want you, dear candle, to release your tears now in the freedom of the night.

Oh, Sierra, what a terrible situation the drought is! I moved away from California in 2004 and have never regretted it, but then, I did not grow up there or anything like that. I used to live along Highway 9, in the Santa Cruz mountains, and I always worried about forest fires.

Oh heavens, so did I for a few years, in Boulder Creek!

It is only since moving to where I am now, that I've been worried about fires. A house burning down next door, was a real wake up call.

So lets see ....

I sat in the garden considering books I have read. I thought back 25 (I think) years to 2 books and considered them.

I had been gardening ( which I hate doing as I always kill many beings and I abhor that ) and was sitting looking at the nature around me.

Suddenly seagulls began to circle....... no, thats wrong, they spiraled above me.
A wonderful sight, many many seagulls ( I attempted to count them but to no avail 30+ ) flying, no they weren't they were just soaring. No flapping, no effort just soaring and so very high. When I say high they were from about 50 feet up to .... well I do not know, I could only just make them out, but I watched them glide back down, round and round.

Wonderful.

10ish minutes pasted and as I sat there ....... they all turned as one and left?

I laughed out loud as I considered that I had been concerned that I may have got 'pooped' upon!

The sky was now clear and blue, not a cloud in sight.

2-3 minutes past .... then a bi-plane flew over me....... seconds later by another following the first. The type of old planes which give rides!

And I thought.... well S*^t ....... ????

I wonder if you can name the books I had been considering?

Apart from that its been a .... well ....... day, so far!

I had two male family members born five days apart whose other halves were born on the same day, but I’d need to give the matter some thought before discovering any parallels. This would involve some kind of translation process, whereby A-B situations would be translated into C-D situations.

But actually I was thinking more on the lines of how perhaps some interconnectivity could be worked out between a spiritually oriented person and say someone active enough in 3D reality to have a public profile. This would be more of a cloning process, whereby a spiritual clone might stand in for purposes of modifying certain 3D events and outcomes in a positive direction, or otherwise take the strain. So the relevant sentence in your post is this one:


And some of the choices that I wanted to make but didn't, she made instead. So, it's like I'm looking at what my life could have been like if I had made that choice.

Araucaria, have you seen Lola Rennt? It's a German make.

It's been a while since I've seen it myself but I think we might be able to squeeze it into this 3D-interconnectivity idea.

It is currently 16:11 and I have just sent 3 emails to potential Penpals as I feel I need more like minded connections in my life. Then I thought, "Ah! I'll come to Project Avalon and see what's going on there! Always nice people to talk to at Avalon!"

But actually, I must admit, I feel somewhat lonely at times as I do not have many people with whom to share my spiritual conversations with (i have a handful, but would love more)! So, if anybody here is wanting a skype/email buddy to have weird and wonderful chats then do get in touch :)

Not bad! And it's stopped raining here too. Fair shares :)

Edit:
For the avoidance of doubt, I did not mean flash flooding was in any way a good idea; I was thinking of rain coming to a desert area. I’ve never heard of Manitou Springs, but of course I have heard of the Indian divinity, who sounds in French as if he can handle everything (manie tout). Hence Manitou over here is a make of forklift trucks (see disambiguation: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitou ).

I guess my post itself needs a little disambiguation: send that rain to California and nowhere else!

Thank you dear auracaria ,

Southern cal is in need of rain too. I know Sierra and there know. The 2003 fires I was out on a surf board most of the time with a badana on in the waves prayingr for the fire people and everyone I grew up with ,love and their livestock were alive.... And avocado grove ranches - takes 5 hrs for an avocado tree to reach maturity..... It didn't totally work out that way then. In the 2007 fire storm I was trying to figure out how to evacuate my 94 yr d Grandmother. I got lucky - the wind shifted. The fire it creates it own weather and you can't stop it. Powerful. Humbling. The wind shifted. Here we now. I'm in the forest.... Beautiful every day... Dry, I give the big oaks and plants a drink of water a lot and deeply.

Know I haven't been on the forum much, a lot of deaths this year in my life and taking my father to radiation theraph too.l....appreciate Any prayers are recieved in a good way for him. His first name is Charles.

Love you all,

Nora

[araucaria]

Poor Nora, thinking of you and your Dad Charles. Yes, fire creates its own weather, such as totally dry clouds; on such a watery planet, that is quite an exclusion zone, but one that we should be able to keep in check if we had half a brain.

I was so happy when you smiled
Your smile breaks through the clouds of gray
Far from the sunny days that lie and sleep
Waiting with patience for the spring
When the flowers will soon bloom again
Knowing there's more beyond the pain of today

Although the scars of yesterday remain
You can go on living as much as your heart believes
You can't be born again although you can change
Lets stay together always

You came to me when I was alone
All by myself again today
The rain just keeps coming down and washes away
All of the pain we hold inside
We have to break free and come alive
No more holding back our love anymore

Even though times are hard and seem to go on
We'll move past that point in time to find our futures
Never again alone 'cause I'm finally home
Lets stay together forevermore

Although the scars of yesterday remain
You can go on living as much as your heart believes
You can't be born again although you can change
Lets stay together always

Charles is in my heart, and so are you.

http://kdvr.com/2015/08/10/heavy-rain-floods-streets-in-manitou-colorado-springs-areas/
Not bad! And it's stopped raining here too. Fair shares :)

Edit:
For the avoidance of doubt, I did not mean flash flooding was in any way a good idea; I was thinking of rain coming to a desert area. I’ve never heard of Manitou Springs, but of course I have heard of the Indian divinity, who sounds in French as if he can handle everything (manie tout). Hence Manitou over here is a make of forklift trucks (see disambiguation: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manitou ).

I guess my post itself needs a little disambiguation: send that rain to California and nowhere else!


Thank you dear auracaria ,

Southern cal is in need of rain too. I know Sierra and there know. The 2003 fires I was out on a surf board most of the time with a badana on in the waves prayingr for the fire people and everyone I grew up with ,love and their livestock were alive.... And avocado grove ranches - takes 5 hrs for an avocado tree to reach maturity..... It didn't totally work out that way then. In the 2007 fire storm I was trying to figure out how to evacuate my 94 yr d Grandmother. I got lucky - the wind shifted. The fire it creates it own weather and you can't stop it. Powerful. Humbling. The wind shifted. Here we now. I'm in the forest.... Beautiful every day... Dry, I give the big oaks and plants a drink of water a lot and deeply.

Know I haven't been on the forum much, a lot of deaths this year in my life and taking my father to radiation theraph too.l....appreciate Any prayers are recieved in a good way for him. His first name is Charles.

Love you all,

Nora



Brings back memories...

I was in Southern Cal in 2007 too. I rented a house in a gated community in the desert called 'Canyon Lake'. Hated it, by the way...

At night I'd take walks. The area was very hilly, and there were 2 areas in particular where the height allowed a panoramic view for miles and miles. And sure enough, off in the distance were the brush fires. It was an eerie sight at night...I couldn't help but feel like I was in a check mate position..that my seeming safety at the time was an illusion. It was very disquieting watching those fires get a little closer every night. I knew the rain wasn't gonna save us - with the exception of a tornado storm, I never saw rain once the entire time I was there...

But it won't stop me from praying for you Sierra!:) (We need a rain emoticon, damnit)

Anyway...

Sending Charles all I've got.

[araucaria]

Here and now, listening to:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzziP7yZrVc

It's English, it's got verbs and subjects and still...You're always left to wonder: What's he talking about?

It's bevreemdend, I would say in Dutch, alienating. Always a wonderful experience. At times it seems the band uses words as dispensable gloves to case the most important part hiding in the notes.
bevreemdend: I like it; will have to save that one for a rainy day :)

Healings for CHARLES.

AstroTurf...hmm...
Nothing to do with astrology
Ten minute TED talk by former CBS news journalist on how the MSM manipulate public opinion.

Good one for sharing with the doubters.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bYAQ-ZZtEU

[Carmody]

At approximately 1:45 minutes in, she states that "Surreptitious astroturf methods, are now more important to special interests than traditional lobbying of congress."

And there is a multi, multi billion dollar lobbying structure in that capital, Washington DC. It is huge.

This means that the 'holding back' of society's realization and understanding of truth is subtle, potent and pervasive. (regarding astroturfing)

What this means, is that lies are inside of everything and the true state of the public's drives and opinions is not the face of what they see.

This means that it's a dry desert full of kindling, waiting to explode in a wholly engulfing wildfire of change.

Pulling a humanity that far off course from their core system and directions, only means the snap back will be extreme.

The truth (or world we are living on the surface) is not one of core change in people (ie, 20,000 years later we still cut meat with knives and eat flesh after burning it), but to be living in confusion and distancing from their core understandings.

Thus we get to the GMO, chemtrail, chemical additives, systems that break mental processes and then genetically shift humans, as humans are far off course and "special interests" want to hold their line, hold their direction, hold their shift..... And far off course means elastically stretched, very tightly.

A subset, and the special interest are a subset.... such an interest - does not have the overall capacity to envision the whole and holistic aspects of their intrusion and forced shift. They don't truly realize the depth of their damage to humanity and what the next steps will be.

It is a lesson, I expect, that everyone will get the opportunity to learn and change from... or to become a bent residual with no independent future, one that waddles off into a dead end spiral for a future. Watering down the collective too much and with too heavy a illiterate hand on the steering, means a dead end spiral.

It's either recover and burn off the incorrect shift in a reciprocal 'bounce back' wildfire, or do the dead end spiral dance.

[eaglespirit]

...and so it IS !!!

Spirit Energy and Our Daily Selfless Workings has stretched the 'rubber band' of Higher Change, and it ain't gonna snap back, onward and upward in 'jolts' of Love, Love, Love!!!

We had two fires in Paradise yesterday, both quashed within an hour. They said if the conditions and support had not been good as it was, the gorge fire could have caused a lot of damage.

I was reading the "time regression" thread right now, and it got me thinking about what happened to me yesterday. (again)

I stopped by the bank to deposit a check, and filling out the deposit slip, and I wrote "2017" on the date, automatically.

Many years back, I stood confused at a supermarket looking at all expired (1 year past sell by date) yogurt containers, only to catch myself to realize I was the one a whole year ahead (in my mind).

At one time, I spent about 3 years thinking I was a certain age, until I caught up to that age. I would get reminded I was not that age, but for about 3 years, if I wasn't paying attention, I would think I was that "future" age.

I wonder at times, whether we all do a lot of time traveling that we are not aware about. :blushing:

Lol! I spent two years at age 38.

If we do time travel (and we're not aware of it), perhaps your gut is telling you 2017 is important information you brought back from your travels. Congratulations on hanging on to the info.

I traveled into the future once, and didn't remember for twenty-four years. And no, I cannot duplicate the event. I'd almost rather be dead than feel that kind of terror again. Or... If I get terrified like that in the future, hopefully the ability will kick in again as needed. (I was four years old at the time.)

Whether we go back in time or or forward depends on our astrological make-up I find.

Capricorns are more goal-oriented and tend to rush towards what they believe to be a better future... away from their imperfect past.
Cancerians remember the good old days and like to hang on to momentos.
Like certain people who like to sit on trains and look out of the back window at a vanishing world,
while others want to sit up front near the driver to see where hey are going.

Aries and Libra live more in the present than the others....
And the more we focus on either past or future the more likely we will be able to slip through the curtain into timelessness.
Because our focus will in due time get a response from the universe.

I’m aware you’re speaking in general terms.

For myself, I've consciously tossed out 'stuff' my whole life. Even my son's irreplaceable 'stuff' to: 1) prove that it's all BS. 2) what counts is what’s in the heart 3) it is/was freeing and therapeutic.

As for “remembering the good old days?” I used the past to understand what needs inner tossing in present. I’m happy to report I’m just about all ‘pasted out’. There’s no unfinished business.
http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/yaysmilesa-smiley.gif

This last year, I’ve learned present is where it’s at because it’s the life I’ve created. I often feel like I’m playing house. At least a couple of times a day, I catch myself say, “I love my life.” I’m aware that it’s by my design. Some came about from trial by fire. Those were the times that affirmed the inner strength that’s beyond words.

These days, I catch myself feeling guilty and am silent about my happiness because so many are in turmoil.

Disclaimer: I’m a work in progress. And I’m excited for more life to come.

Well, I'm Libran, Cancer rising, so I guess I over rode my own defaults.

I read years later, if you turn East you go into the future, if you turn West, you go into the past. And it just so happens the driveway I ran down at the time pointed due East, go figure.

Good thing too. If I'd gone West at four years old, I might have ended up in a previous lifetime lol.

People on a higher consciousness path know to overcome planetary directives.
A vision came to me one day that instead of seeing twelve signs or houses to see six axis ....
Each sign is then in the context of its opposite sign. The balance point is then between them.
Capricorn is a patriarchal sign (ruled by strict Saturn) and its opposite is the matriarchal sign of Cancer, ruled by the moon.
Together they form a whole, masculine and feminine energies blended. The patriarch looks to create the future, and the matriarch conserves the past via traditions.
The person on a consciousness path learns to blend these energies and in that process develops higher powers, while at the same time being careful never to abuse such powers.

The axis of polar opposites in Taurus-Scorpio...Taurus is ruled by Venus, Scorpio by Pluto, the higher octave of Mars. Again we see polarity blended.

Then there is the axis of Aries and Libra. Ruled by Mars and Venus respectively.
More masculine feminine polarity.

The axis of Virgo and Pisces has the opposition of particle (Virgo) and wholeness as in the concept of the ocean (Pisces)

The axis of Leo ruled by the boss, the sun, versus Aquarius ruled by rebellious Uranus, the only planet in the solar system that rotates on a horizontal axis.

And then the axis of Gemini (ruled by Mercury the messenger of the gods, who doesn't even know what message he is carrying, and Sagittarius, ruled by Jupiter, or the great god Zeus, who then has the power to decide how to interpret and deal with the message, even to the point of killing the messenger.

The path of self knowledge leads to the reconciling of all opposites, and that's where the real show of life begins.

Once Pisces decides in which direction to look she/he will get the confirmations accordingly.
The ones who know that we are all engaged in building a paradise will focus on future, while those who are stuck in imagination of paradise lost will simply seek to escape the harsh realities of this existence and live in their dream world.

Astrology Forecast for August 19, 2015
RqxMMI3_a8o


Published on Aug 19, 2015

In my search for health and wellness,
I have found the source of illness,
As separation from the Oneness,
That sows seeds of fear and darkness.

When we believe in stress, in winning and losing, in accidents and that "Life" is not a coherent, intelligent, structured, whole, we have fallen into the trap of "ego as boss," chaos, fear, dissolution, and in extreme cases, dis-ease, depression, catharsis, all the way down to madness. Well, fear not! The Sun is joining Jupiter in Virgo and it is time to clean up and clear out those misconceptions and come into alignment with our high Self! Yes!

Is this easy? Does it happen overnight? Is there something I can take that will make it happen faster? The simple answer is no, no, no. There are temporary fixes, substitutes, and shortcuts, but just as a tree, flower, or sunrise doesn't speed up due to desire, either is the organic process of cleansing, clearing, and releasing an instant process. We will be peeling back layer after layer of false beliefs, relationships founded on false assumptions, and identities based on what other people said.

It may not be easy and it may not be quick but it can be exhilerating as you grow lighter and lighter and your energy builds and quickens and your attitude lifts and lifts others and on and on and on! So just as your car runs like new after a good visit to the shop, put yourself through the litmus test of truth and pureness of heart and you may find that even though you needed your carburetor cleaned there is even more than hope for you, there is Awesomeness! Injoy!

Thank you all for your loving prayers and posts for my father. He is tired but says he is feeling better. The treatments make him tired. He's also starting aPeXuap again too. He's always responded well to it. Just really far along..... and in his 80s. He still goes for a walk every evening. Says he wants to keep his heart strong. Love you dad.

Mike, it is a ghostly site the fire storms. Canyon Lake California, Riverside County -just North of the 2007 firestorm then. If you ever come West again, Monterrey, Big Sur and Santa Cruz are something to behold (so are the sunsets) so is the Northern California/Oregon coast. Raw wild beautiful.


I think we all knew each other in a past life or so and know each other from the future too..... wherever that all may have been & be. We're all here, here and now.....

just want more gentleness and softness in my life.

Abdu'l-Bahá gave several talks in Paris in 1912 which are collected in a book called Paris Talks.
(Abdu'l-Baha was the son of the founder of the Baha'i Faith, and together with his father and other members of their family were imprisoned in Palestine, now Israel, by order of the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and the Shah of Persia.)

Here is what he had to say on spirituality:

"If sorrow and adversity visit us, let us turn our faces to the Kingdom and heavenly consolation will be outpoured.
If we are sick and in distress let us implore God’s healing, and He will answer our prayer.
When our thoughts are filled with the bitterness of this world, let us turn our eyes to the sweetness of God’s compassion and He will send us heavenly calm! If we are imprisoned in the material world, our spirit can soar into the Heavens and we shall be free indeed!
When our days are drawing to a close let us think of the eternal worlds, and we shall be full of joy!
You see all round you proofs of the inadequacy of material things—how joy, comfort, peace and consolation are not to be found in the transitory things of the world. Is it not then foolishness to refuse to seek these treasures where they may be found? The doors of the spiritual Kingdom are open to all, and without is absolute darkness.
Thank God that you in this assembly have this knowledge, for in all the sorrows of life you can obtain supreme consolation. If your days on earth are numbered, you know that everlasting life awaits you. If material anxiety envelops you in a dark cloud, spiritual radiance lightens your path. Verily, those whose minds are illumined by the Spirit of the Most High have supreme consolation.
I myself was in prison forty years—one year alone would have been impossible to bear—nobody survived that imprisonment more than a year! But, thank God, during all those forty years I was supremely happy!
Every day, on waking, it was like hearing good tidings, and every night infinite joy was mine. Spirituality was my comfort, and turning to God was my greatest joy. If this had not been so, do you think it possible that I could have lived through those forty years in prison?"

Been doing some gardening and found these critters all over a tree.

How are your plants coming, Ulli? I've wanted to ask if you could add pictures.

Beetles (http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/dictionary_of_insects.html) aid in transformation, metamorphosis, resurrection and rebirth - rebirth of the soul to a new spiritual ideal and renewed devotion. This animal teaches harmony in the coming changes by utilizing your intuitive abilities and teaches discernment where you need it the most.

Beetles have a protective quality that will aid in the ability to socialize and communicate effectively by illuminating problems and situations in the correct perspective. Are you eating correctly? Now is the time to examine eating habits. Can you identify which stage of development are you in egg/larva/pupa/adult?. Is it time to fly or walk in life?

Beetle will teach persistence with charm, trust in the process, proper movement and actions which allows the regeneration of your spirit to prosper.

Been doing some gardening and found these critters all over a tree.

How are your plants coming, Ulli? I've wanted to ask if you could add pictures.

Beetles (http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/dictionary_of_insects.html) aid in transformation, metamorphosis, resurrection and rebirth - rebirth of the soul to a new spiritual ideal and renewed devotion. This animal teaches harmony in the coming changes by utilizing your intuitive abilities and teaches discernment where you need it the most.

Beetles have a protective quality that will aid in the ability to socialize and communicate effectively by illuminating problems and situations in the correct perspective. Are you eating correctly? Now is the time to examine eating habits. Can you identify which stage of development are you in egg/larva/pupa/adult?. Is it time to fly or walk in life?

Transformation is what's been happening. I've been in a cocoon.
No idea yet what is going to come out of all this.

Remember that lovely cat Misha which used to visit me in my Barbados apartment?
Well, I found out that it died a few days ago.
It was only two years old.
Leaving her behind while her owner became of dog collector meant that she had no more refuge.
Apparently the new dogs gave her hell.
She was seen limping, was taken to the vet by the pet sitter and he kept her overnight.
She was dead the next morning.
The whole family are away traveling and the poor pet sitter had to deal with this tragedy.

Cocooning’s a good thing. It’s an integral part of what I do. Speaking of which, I watched “Cocoon” the other night. I learned that Jessica Tandy’s character Alma Finley is married in real life to her on screen husband, Joe Finley/Hume Cronyn. And the female alien, Kitty/Tahnee Welch is Raquel Welch’s daughter. The trailer shows the people I mentioned.

I’ll add the movie too, but unless you download it, the color and picture is wonkie. The free downloader found @ aimersoft.com (“http://www.aimersoft.com”). Though, I’m not sure how/if it’d work on an iPad.

Misha's death is heartbreaking. I'm so glad she got to die in peace and quiet. I invariably weep, seeing or hearing of animals suffering.

I'm so sorry Ulli. :bearhug:

I am doing ho' oh' opono for her, asking her next life be extra loving, kind, healthy, active, as social as she wants.

A feral orange tomcat has been around my place for quite a while. He's been in some tough fights in his time and it shows. I feed the guy a little bit. Enough so he won't starve, but not enough to make him lazy. He's gotten used to me to the point he won't run away, but he sure does hiss at me. So I hiss back. Gets kind of funny at times.

Following the trend that saw many industries look to automate their processes; today marks a move from this. At least for the racing world of F1, for now. :) Formula One has changed how drivers start the race, forcing them to rely more on personal skill than computer-aided. A look to balance Driver input and AI by decreasing computer reliance while increasing Driver responsibility. Wired (http://t.co/oDowAO6M1j)

https://o.twimg.com/2/proxy.jpg?t=HBhTaHR0cDovL3d3dy53aXJlZC5jb20vd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMTUvMDgvZjFodW4yMDE1X2prMTc2 MDE4Ny5qcGctNjYweDQ0MC5qcGcUqAoUsgUcFIQGFJQDAAAWABIA&s=iNnUnEekyqb_CVo_hnyQcS94XdHZxoj3wt_ur1qHH1k


The drivers got help finding and setting the bite point from computers inside the car, and advice from his race engineer. But the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), F1’s governing body, thinks this has made the start too routine. It deemphasizes driver skill at a crucial moment. Beginning this weekend at the Belgian Grand Prix, drivers now need to estimate the perfect clutch bite point, without outside help, and set it manually. The goal is to introduce some variability into the race start and increase the level of competition, to make things a little more old school and less predictable.

It does rain a lot here in the mountains. Sunny mornings, rainy afternoons.
No water shortage, ever.
The dry season lasts from February till May, with just enough rain showers to stop the grass from going brown.
And we have to water the plants then, and have been using hoses but will have to invest in an irrigation system next.

Jackson plays a billionaire entrepeneur that anounces a giveaway of SIM Smart cards, granting free cellular and Internet access. He then broadcasts a signal, which is picked up by the cellphone SIM cards and causes everyone to become uncontrollably violent.

Figured it was a good sign that someone made the connection and thought they should put out a warning ;)

What did you think of Ray Merrimans stockmarket prediction at www.mmacycles.com? It was rather spot on even if he doesn't give free longterm analysis anymore and doesn't talk about a total crash, merely panic and sell out with the Sun/Jupiter conj (usually reflecting a bull market) in combination with stressful aspects like Jupiter/Neptune opposition during the ongoing Venus reevaluation of resources retrogradation.

Also what would happen if pple were aware of the possibility to check astrology for the stockmarket? If we start to act differently this would all the same be reflected in the stars so what comes first, the hen or the egg? Gives one a creepy feeling of predestination.

For sure, it's more difficult to turn an unconscious collective away from Big Illusion/deception/panic to True Spirituality and True happiness as the polarities of the opposition indicates, than for a single person.

And how many stockmarket astrologers take spirituality and ethics into account?

The time is ripe in due time

When astrology delivers correct predictions it is time for people to ask how and why it works.
Using it to go deeper into the greed trap means they put their souls on the line.

I don't know what Ray Merriman's motives are, working as an astrolological financial analyst.
I feel he would have done a better service had he stayed on the metallurgy path.

Years ago he found a correlation between Mars sun conjunctions and the thickness of blood,
when he did a study on how nurses in hospitals had a hard time taking blood samples on such days.
Mars rules iron, which is what red blood cells are made of.
That could have been a better use of his astro knowledge, in my view, anyway.

Thanx ulli, didn't know this about him!

So if a financial astrologer can predict the stockmarket this must be tied to the collective involved. If the collective slowly or suddenly gets the insight into who run the show they will start acting differently and then this would be possible to predict right? A conscious and ethical individual can handle stresssful aspects and turn them into something positive or at least less negative but to turn an unconscious Titanic around....And for sure everything on Earth is reflected in the market right, like the weather, social unrest, natural catastrophes etc...

There are theories about different levels of astrology like the "ordinairy" one reflecting everyday life on Earth and Esoteric more apt to spiritual development. Is it possible that using the traditional techniques somehow ties us into the material world? Esoteric astrology was discussed a lot on Astrodienst, haven't been there for a long time, maybe should take a Venus retrograde reevaluation of values look...

Carmody, what's your take on this?

[PurpleLama]

It goes back to ancient times, when astrology was still more of a science than an art, there was no such thing as a personal reading, rather the kings employed court astrologers to cast mundane horoscopes to have insight into aggregate human behavior and conditions. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that someone figured out that one may track the markets with such a tool.

^^^Not as technical as Carmody might've put it.

[transiten]

Here's what Torgny a Swede who moved to England wrote on Astrodienst Forum in 2012:

Esoteric astrology is the science of the soul which means that when we become sensitive and begin to respond to the influence of the soul the astrological energies that influence us will also change and thus our life will gradually change. The astrological influences that has hitherto influenced us will still remain, but the more subtle and powerful energies from the soul will be added and will in the end dominate our life.

We will be sensitive to new energies when we become sensitive tio the soul and that is for ex why the subtler energies of the Ascendent will emerge, and why energies from the esoteric planetaru rulers to the signs will also begin to influence our lives.

The soul is like a body with energies that vibrate with much quicker vibrations than the physical body. One of the best definitions of the soul is that the soul is light, alight that shines. The soul has 3 attributes, love, wizdom and power. As we begin to develop these three qualities our contact with the soul will grow and love, wisdom and power will grow within us.

I noticed a couple of weeks back that the leave are beginning to change. We’ve had some relatively cool days on the east coast. Today was the first day in five that I was able to drive to the market. And I miss my walks in this nice weather.

I couldn’t fit my foot into a shoe because in the middle of the night a slammed my toes into the door frame. My little toe jutted out from the rest by a few degrees. It, the next two and part of the foot is bruised. Fortunately, the swelling’s almost gone and the baby toe’s mostly come back to join the rest.

They're still not talking to me. Geez! :silent:

It is so autumn-like today that it is amazing. Very chilly all day...almost enough to need a small fire in the woodstove. Brrrr...and so early in the year!
I noticed a couple of weeks back that the leave are beginning to change. We’ve had some relatively cool days on the east coast. Today was the first day in five that I was able to drive to the market. And I miss my walks in this nice weather.

I couldn’t fit my foot into a shoe because in the middle of the night a slammed my toes into the door frame. My little toe jutted out from the rest by a few degrees. It, the next two and part of the foot is bruised. Fortunately, the swelling’s almost gone and the baby toe’s mostly come back to join the rest.

They're still not talking to me. Geez! :silent:

Ouch! Those little piggies nearly went to market :(

p.s. Our leaves have been changing for a couple of weeks, too.

Sitting in the twillight of the evening after a powerful thunder storm. Knocked the power out for a while. The ozone feels so good and grateful for the rain.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed a shift in the weather. Just slightly.

Healing for your toe Paula.

Plants are beautiful Ulli.

Hi! Got Sun Uranus sextile today accompained by Venus retro sextile Neptune for a while...managed to insert a video first try in many months! Just talked to my Uranusruled Aquarian father who has been a recording engineer and he told me he bought a new bag with a "lightening lock" Swedish for "zipper" and today is going to be thunderweather

Been playing my fiddle more and more, picking up my guitar and singing-maybe slowly recovering from lingering Lymesymptoms although I stil have crashes.

Found this video "The Weddingmarch of the Trolls"...felt good until I saw the pple holding the Swedish flag...Why? Because the Nazis hiding within The Swedsih "Democrat" Party third biggest one now, courts the Swedish folkmusic scene but "the bride is not very interested" as a man stated in an interview about the "problem".

I remember in the 70:ies as the first folkmusic/green wawe sept Sweden that some in the radical left didn't like it since "The nazis liked folmusic and traditional clothing" :doh: Accordeon was Ok since it was "the working class instrument" and :rockon: of course.

Also I was told it was reactionary to work as a singer/musiscian even though i was a protest singer, i should get myself a "workingclass job" instead :facepalm:

Well well, the trolls will crack as they are exposed to the Sun so the "Weddingmarch of the Trolls" might end up in divorce :argue: but I will continue :violin:

By the way the woman who's name is shown Oline Bakkum is from Norway now governed by a party with much similarities to the Swedish Democrats.

Rain this morning, the delightful fresh air pouring in the window, waking me up. Martha leaves my ribs, Pippin says good morning, husband rolls over.

Sometimes I can't get over how safe, and mundane life seems, such a severe, and deadly contrast to the plight of refugees, beaten and killed for being alive.

Rain for Gripreaper, rain for all, please.

This kind of thing brings more and more respect for Markus (Notch). (creator of Minecraft)

His recent tweets and this specific one:


"I would Musk and try to save the world, but that just exposes me to the same type of assholes that made me sell minecraft again."

Meaning, I'm guessing, he would try and be a 'Musk' himself, but that the assholes come in droves to cross swords with him, if he tries. The sociopaths and the psychopaths are EXTREMELY prevalent in the world's control structure.

Which is why if humans want to have a functional human world, they are going to have to wake up and well..wean out....that specific form of genetic combination, a genetic combination which has become the weak point in human evolution. Not the strong point, but the weak point.

ASTROLOGICAL HEADS-UP
from Astrologer Salvador Russo

CRITICAL ALERT FOR TODAY!!!
" In approximately 24 hours Saturn will enter the final degree of the House of Scorpio. My next words are written with the pure intention of saving lives. The dark truth is that Saturn's position at 29° Scorpio can influence certain people to commit suicide and other forms of extremely tragic behavior. Saturn's influence at 29° Scorpio can cause people to feel worthless, hopeless, miserable, irrationally fearful, and despondent to the extreme.

If you know anyone who is in a very "sensitive" psychological state please keep a very close eye on them. Watch for signs of suicide and if you are so willing, act to prevent tragedy. This influence will pass on September 18th when Saturn enters Sagittarius but until then the heightened potential for these outcomes is real. Spiritual attacks, medical misfortunes, mystery pains, and incurable illnesses are also a part of Saturn's effects at this degree.

My best advice against this energy is to receive daily doses of sunlight, to pray often, to ensure that you receive proper nutrition, to enjoy uplifting music, and to use crystals to raise your vibration. I've learned that the higher your vibration is (mind, body, astral), the harder it is for malefic energies to effect you. I would like to recommend four crystals in particular to help counteract Saturn's influence at 29° Scorpio: Sugilite, Danburite, Rhodochrosite, and Emerald.

Again, this message is not to scare anyone. Fear is not a part of my work. I just want everyone to be on alert for what this energy can do to unconscious, unsuspecting people. Knowledge is power so if we know in advance we are empowered to prevent tragedy and save life. If you see someone teetering on the brink you'll know the influence at work. Do your best within reason to help. This influence will pass. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Despite this transient energy remember that September, on the whole, will be a powerfully positive month. We have the partial solar eclipse at 20° Virgo on the 13th, Apollo, the mythic deity, enters Scorpio on the 27th, and we have the final "blood moon" at 4° Aries also on the 27th. So believe me that positive transformation and evolution is just around the corner! In the mean time be watchful of your brothers and sisters. God blesses those who save lives quite handsomely..."

Here is more on the apparently "horrendous" astrological situation, said to affect everyone in the world. The operant word in this below is DINGLEBERRY.

"Saturn at the last few minutes of Scorpio: in less cultured and genteel circles, the term would be "dingleberry".
Despite its vulgar connotation in vernacular parlance it refers quite accurately to a last remaining but persistent detail, issue, tragedy, loss or problem that continues to hang on despite all efforts to remove it and move forward.
Because this is affecting everyone in the entire world without exception whenever you see anyone---a co-worker, a kid behind a store counter, a rabid revolutionary, Queen of England, or even or a candidate for a high office, don't be bashful.
Walk right up to them, stick out your hand and say,
"I'm terribly sorry about your dingleberry, I know exactly how you feel." "

Here is one paragraph

"The Muses Leaving Their Father Apollo to Go and Enlighten the World" by Gustave Moreau.

Depression, loss of the will to live, feeling dominated by inner compulsions, too great a dependency on others, identification with the collective resulting in a sense of not being real unless others are there to provide a mirror - all these experiences may result if we do not express the Sun in the horoscope. And expressing the Sun means making room in one's life for the values and needs of the Sun-sign, involving oneself actively in the sphere of life represented by its natal house, and honouring the needs of the planets which aspect it. When we are cut off from the functions symbolised by the mythic Apollo, we experience passivity, powerlessness, meaninglessness, and loss of confidence. We need others to constantly affirm who we are, and we are frightened of having any individual feeling or opinion which might isolate us from the collective around us. No single planet in the birth chart is itself whole, and the Sun too may be overemphasised at the expense of instinctual needs and at the expense of others; Apollo is not the only god. But it is perhaps more common to meet individuals who have too little, rather than too much, Sun. As astrologers we need to ask ourselves why any individual should not be able to relate to the Sun in the horoscope.

Here is something to cheer us all up:

An elderly Italian man lived alone in New Jersey . He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, since the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament:

Dear Vincent,
I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over.. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.
Love, Papa

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where the bodies are buried.
Love,
Vinnie

At 4 a.m. the next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

Dear Pop,
Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love you,
Vinnie

snopes, the first one found to be tackling the question, says it is false. As suspected. I've never seen marking like that on any living thing and the exposed eye orbs are too large and flat to be an eye. The feet and 'hands' are not of a primate nature, they would be more canine and the like. It's a nice doll. A stuffed creation, a gremlin like doll.

The sun sign of each person is an imprint of the moment of the first breath.
This is the astonishing thing about astrology.
Entering this world, we get stamped, in a way, with a personality which then our souls are stuck with for the rest of this lifetime.
I was quite horrified when I saw the statistics of how many babies are born at the time that is convenient to the hospital staff, and not "naturally".
But in the end it doesn't matter. There really is no time better than any other,
Once the soul inside wakes up the real battles for higher consciousness begin. No longer is one at the whim of cultural influences, nor even of planetary influences. The soul only wants one thing, to implement the greater plan of Source/Creator/God.

If one also has knowledge of astrology one can then use all planetary influences the way one might use a transport system.
So I was born during the period that the sun was in Capricorn.
Before my soul was awake I only wanted status and money, and was fiercely ambitious to make a name for myself.
But later found out that those things are irrelevant in the greater scheme.
I was lucky not to remain stuck there.
Now I tell people to get unstuck and keep on moving.
First find out who they are, in their essence, then go ahead and create the world they wish to see. If they are good with people, then they will be excellent at community building, which is a really important endeavor. If they are too introvert then they can do what I do, rescue stray animals (sun in the sixth house) and plant gardens (moon in Taurus) and even make it open to the public ( moon in the tenth house)
So my Capricorn sun is still useful in its goal orientation capability, but I have integrated the other factors of my chart as well. .
I realize that to a beginner this all sounds really obscure, but most Villagrs have had quite a bit of experience with astrology, and each may glean from this whatever they can, and give another shot at the study and contemplatation of their sun and moon, by sign and house position.

There isn’t much that surprises me any more. The psychopaths will stop at nothing to achieve their objectives, and I suspect the destruction of the land is indeed part of Agenda 21/2030.

There’s a video link below from Dahboo777 about a fleet of white helicopters in Washington State a couple of months ago. Not sure if it was a chopper like that seen at the scene just before a fire erupted or not, but it was white.

You may also be interested in reading a past post about fires and the choices to NOT use the most effective means to fight them.

The letter below from Dr. William Mount mentions Lucifer, and I thought it fascinating that Cobra shared in his interview with Lynn from Prepare for Change that Satan and Lucifer are no longer a problem on the planet.

He said one was escorted to the Great Central Sun to have his soul deconstructed, and the other is now on the side of the Light. If I had to guess, I’d say Satan (Set) is no more, and that Lucifer (means “bringing light”, derived from Latin lux “light” and ferre “to bring”) is now on our side. Whichever it is, that’s great news. ~ BP


[Letter to and from undisclosed sender and recipients…]
Enclosed below is an article regarding the U.S. govt and the UN setting the fires and causing all the strife and danger now occurring. What a way to clear the land of people! Can you say Agenda 21 on steroids??? You might want to send this article out to everyone you know and ask them to do the same. As you know, but few others do, when no problems exist, govt creates the problems and then, of course, uses massive amounts of money and control to solve the problems they created, while the people are totally ignorant of all of this and do nothing to stop this criminal action. Of course, the problems are never solved, because govt’s secret motto is: “If we fix it, then, we can’t scam it!”
Best regards,

UN Seen Starting Fires in North Central Washington
Friday, August 21, 2015

I just received a report from an eye witness that watched a White Colored UN Helicopter land on a mountain near Republic Washington and 2 men got out and started a brush fire.

This eye witness (Infantry Veteran) also sighted another odd looking aircraft fire a light beam into the woods and a forest fire erupted shortly afterwards.

These reports are spot on when it comes to location of the fires and are identical to reports of other fires starting across Washington State I have received.

Basically: These fires are being started by US and UN aircraft.

Washington State is under attack by the United Nations and United States Corporation and since the US National Forests currently belong to the government of China, they are technically AT WAR with China and thus (According to the original and 2nd treaties signed) at war with the entire “BRICS Set Of Nations.”

Please remember that the UN Lucifer Trust folks stated several times in the last two months they intend to “Turn up the Heat.”

I have a personal friend who makes a very inexpensive Non-Toxic Biodegradable product that you can spray on either grass or trees that prevents them from burning and he was told to “Stay The HELL Away From Us:” by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Procurement Officer.

They want you dead.

One last note – I studied Fire Weather Behavior at UC Berkeley and fought fires in Forestry for 7 years with my last assignment as the Commander of an Army Reserve Fire Camp.

Until about three years ago, ALL fire weather was completely predictable.

With all the spraying by the 60th Air wing out of Fairchild Air Force Base, the 9/10th Air wing out of Omaha and Evergreen Aviation, the fires will now get very hot very fast and there is little prospect for rain.

If the Governor of Washington had any guts, he would shoot down the planes starting the fires, buy the product to stop the fires, and force down the jets spraying chemicals to block the rain.

If he had any guts – and was not a flaming coward.

(((Please Pray (Visualize) that those burning up Washington State are destroyed immediately)))

I got the witness talk at the door this morning. I had to tell them I was neither negative nor positive, neither for nor against the given subject and then turned down the 'magazine'. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV4_xaYynY)

They wanted to inform me, was I aware? I said, yes, I've done my research and that it is what it is, and left it at that.

Interestingly enough, only the local head of the organization shows up at my door, these past few times..

Oh yes, and a dense fog in the late night early mornings and late mornings in my immediate area, for the past two days. But that's the kind of energy in my life right now.

I will tell you this carmody if you do not want these folks coming around and beating on your door anymore, simply put up a no tresspassing in your yard. They will honor that and you will not see them again. I have two brothers and sisters that are of this denomination so I do know that.

So they understand they are trespassing? I wouldn't go that far. If you allow anyone to come to your door, maybe it is good for these people, especially the top guy, to hear someone who has done their homework and has come to a different conclusion than them. The energy shift may be in the opposite direction to the apparent proselytizing.

I agree with araucaria. Let them come to the front door and get a taste of some friendly non-emo detachment.
I bet there are few people out there who would give them such a reaction.

Cool graphic, Ulli. I refreshed the page for it to come up. For those with slower service and/or peak internet hours, here’s a smaller version.

Well I have had talks with these folks over the years and it seemed to me that they absolutely would not or could not listen to other points of view or other beliefs. My soul mate would talk calmly to brothers and sisters and never seem to get anywhere with them. She finally had enough and flat told them that she didn't have anything against their beliefs but they continually pushed on her and she said you seem to have everything against my belief yet we seem to believe in the creator but it has to be your creator and not anything else. Well she went off finally on them and they stopped coming around and talking to us. Too bad,

They did send others around to try and get us converted to their man made religion. I would ask these folks if their church was a 501 (C)3 or 4, most of them did not know what I was talking about. Well after a little while they finally sent around the top dogs, a couple of older fellows showed up and I ask them the same questions. They refused to answer but wanted to give me their magazines. I refused those and was very cordial to them and asked if they would leave.

Shortly after that I put up the no trespass signs and never seen any of them again. After talking with my younger brother he told me that the witnesses will not invade across a sign as such.

Sure you an be very aware and awake and have a very good talk back but I found it does not seem to matter with these folks when they are on their mission.

I got to doing my research into the Jehovah Witness sect and found some very interesting history about these folks. No 1. They are a broke off sect of the Millerites, if you have ever heard of them. So when they say they have been around and were with Jesus, I find that to be poppy cock. There is some very interesting writings about how they came about. Now the only other thing I say at this point and I have had this conversation way to much with my brothers and sisters, is why did they rewrite the canon bible to match their beliefs. They say they had to do that because God's name is Jehovah and that is what he wants them to call him. Well I leave this here and all can research to see where I at least have done mine.....

I see it this way myself, all have the right to their own beliefs, it is when a sect or denomination begins to enforce their belief on others that we get into that situation that is a destruction to life I believe. Just look at the Roman Catholic religion, Look at the Morman religion, Look at those nuts that told their followers to drink poison or commit some kind of suicide in the name of their belief.

I went to far into this one sorry folks just looking at my own experiences.

After about 5 words I politely say "no thank you" and close the door.

Need not be any more complicated than that.

This is the wisdom advice that is so great, One eithers spends time trying something or just says no thanks. That is totally what I do on the phone to folks that are always seeming to sell something. It is this way with my brothers and sisters today, the conversations do not go into beliefs and I and they love each other for who we are. Thank you all for your wisdoms and thoughts on this subject.

On another subject. even though my avatar may look like that cat in post 46228 I have not been sucked into a saucer. I must say I have to keep looking at that because it is just to much and laughter happens. What a great image ulli

Well, I agree: nothing complicated. Just a different kind of No from the can't-be-bothered sort, or from the get-orff-my-land sort.

Not bad at all, except we are still waiting for our personal flying machines. Rapid easy travel is way behind what it needs to be, except of course for the megarich.

My JW tri-team stopped coming when I told them I was a Buddhist and would they like to come in to hear about my thoughts on life. They politely declined and never returned. Up to that point I never answered the door and they continued to stick their brochures in the screen door.

My sister has a dear friend that was shunned from the Jehovah's Witnesses. She finally got up the courage to divorce her physically abusive husband whom was high up in rank in the organization.

Her advice is when Jehovah's Witnesses knock at your door, tell them not to come around any more. You are not interested. To their way of thinking, every time you respond, it’s because there’s a part of you that is interested in knowing more but aren’t ready to fully commit.

Now here is something for the followers of superstitious beliefs:
