Here and Now...What's Happening?

Suspicious observers this morning shows that the galactic G2 wave is waking up the Milky Way. Something that only happens about every 24,000 years. This is the first time scientists are observing this.


This is in line with the 15 predictions of Dr Paul LaViolette with multiple verifications, see http://starburstfound.org/predictions-part-1/. I see no comment on this latest news as yet though.

Note that this event is in realtime. The light which set out from the galactic core 26,000 years ago is arriving now at light speed. Cosmic rays travelling at near light speed will be following close behind, giving us a little time to prepare. We see how the idea of imminence has nothing to do with prophecy (although a better understanding of time will allow that too), but simply an understanding of a sequence of cyclical events. There is nothing paranormal about this. It is just as straightforward as night follows day or telling someone that if they turn left at the pub, they will come to a cinema on the right, or that if they do something stupid they will come a cropper. Most of the future is known to the extent that it reproduces the past. But there is always that crucial dose of novelty that makes life interesting.

Predication No.15 (1979):

LaViolette discovered that the ancient star lore connected with the Sagittarius and Scorpius constellations indicated the location of the Galatic center, conveyed the idea of an explosive outburst, and specified a significant past date of 13,865 plus/minus 150 years B.C. which also is encoded in the ancient Egyptian Dendereh zodiac.

Also LaViolette found that myths, customs and esoteric lore descendent from prehistoric times, indicated that cosmic rays from a Galactic core explosion catastrophically affect the Earth and solar system in recurrent cycles with the most recent event occurring near the end of the the last ice age.

He wrote up this idea in an unpublished paper in 1979 and formally published these ideas in 1995 and 1997 in his books "Beyond the Big Bang" and "Earth Under Fire". In "Earth Under Fire" he also connected Mayan Cosmology and World Ages with the Galactic center and Galactic super wave events. He began discovering these associations around 1987.

[Carmody]

We shall see, won't we. Strong solar flares practically blow me out of my body. What the effects of these sort of things will turn out to be, who knows.

Let's just say that:

-if this is a real thing
--if this is a repeated pattern of a real thing
--then, logically... the cosmic scales and repetition allows for evolution in-situ
---furthermore (reiteration)... life has evolved to deal with it; life moves in conjunction with it

The constellation of Ophiuchus,

http://themindunleashed.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/heavenss.jpg

straddles the galactic center, to which the stinger of the constellation of Scorpio points,

http://astrologyclub.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Scorpio-Constellation.gif

Ophiuchus is the great shaman in the sky. When you really look at the whole tableau of Scorpio/Ophiuchus/Sagittarius, knowing that the galactic center is at the tip of Scorpio's stinger, it looks like Ophiucus is using the Scorpion as a surf board, to ride the galactic waves, using the snake of Serpens as a paddle,

http://www.supusa.com/sup%20usa%203.jpg

and that both the arrow of Sagittarius and the stinger of Scorpio are pointing at the heel of the Ophiucus.

This bit of artwork by JLL shows it best. I don't think he even knows what it shows.


http://www.metahistory.org/images/JLgraphicsScalesArcher.jpg

Why are Scorpio and Sagittarius aiming at the heel of Ophiuchus? Because like I said, Ophiuchus represents the divine shaman, and the heel is his only vulnerable point...like Achilles heel. Sagittarius and Scorpio are there to protect the earth from the shaman or shamans who would misuse the power of the galactic wave, and like it or not, our world is ruled by some very powerful shamans who are misusing their power.

Just my humble opinion.

p.s. In most of the old artwork, Serpens is shown going between the legs of Ophiuchus, but I think that is wrong, and a corruption of a very ancient image, even in very old artwork. The actual placement of the stars clearly shows Serpens going across the body of Ophiuchus, and not between his legs,

I hope that this is not too off-topic.

Right now, my fluffy white cat is in my lap, making really hard for me to type :) I brought her inside 3 days ago, the 22 of September. She and my other cat, Pinky (or, variously, Pinkie. I can never remember how I spell it.), are in an armed truce right now, but they are really doing very well. Bitty, the white one, has been spending a lot of time in her bed or in my lap, resting, and she has made no attempt to go outside. I think she must have been a total house cat, and that someone dropped her off.

p.s. When it comes to pet names, I have no imagination. I named her Bitty because she is little. Full grown, but little.

addition I don't know what happened, but just now, I got such a hankering for Spanish food that I almost keeled over :noidea:

Our house guest got sick and needs to be hospitalized. His blood pressure dropped to vey low levels and my husband discovered that he was still taking his very strong high blood pressure meds as prescribed by his U.S. cardiologist.

It messed with his entire metabolism.

I need to remind people who plan on visiting Costa Rica that here their blood pressure will drop.
Anyway, please send some energy to Ron.

What you call that little darling is going to stick, It may take some time but it will stick so you give that some thought. When we my familly first got Buzz, can't remember what he was called prior to us receiving him but he learned that name pretty quick. Wasn't to long after we got him that a pure white kitty showed up on the door step. We started feeding her and within no time she wanted to be inside. Buzz took to her fairly well and then there was a fully black cat and fully white cat in our house. Made us think about salt and pepper but Buzz was already named so had to come up with another name. Well here I am one of those nuts that comes up with weird names. I named her emuleta wheatha and that seemed to stick. She was with us for about a year and then disappeared. We morned for her and Buzz sorely missed her.

But seriously, she knows her name already. So Bitty she is, and Bitty she will stay, at home, at least. Although at the vet, I may use something more in line with her physical beauty, like Mewsette,

** I am not joking, however, when I say that I am sorry for your loss :( Yours and Buzz's :(

[Lost N Found]

Yes it is Steveneese. As I said I am a nut when it comes to names. Thank you for the feelings. I call my oldest daughter Princess and my youngest daughter Half pint and you can guess where those names orginated. Your name for the sweet white lovely is just perfect. That name had to form almost immediately in your mind when you first got her to be comfortable with you. Bitty is so great. Glad you have yet another close companion. What a lovely lady you are.

[Calz]

Thinking about grip and the beautiful story of his daughter getting married on the 23rd in a remote off grid space in the mountains.

Always loved the mountains ... doesn't that sound nice?


Hey ... this time zone about 15 minutes away from the 26th ... and we are still alive :)

I just broke the ice on a new painting. No matter how much I paint, I can never start a new one without a great deal of trepidation. But I've started, now, so whew!

[meeradas]

... I can never start a new one without a great deal of trepidation...

Isn't that strange?! I know the same thing [musically]. I call it the "fear of giving birth".
It can be overwhelming... so that one doesn't. But the same thing is somehow pressing in the background to "do it!".
Until one does.

Yes. I can know just what I am going to do, and yet it is like I have to wait for something inside that says, GO! And then I go.

I guess that's pretty much the definition of the daemon?

My ability to paint does not seem to be under the control of my ego. When I want to write exposition, its even worse. I basically can't write exposition unless someone asks me a question. If someone asks me a question, then I'm fine. But absent a question, I am frozen.

It just dawned upon me that I had an addiction.

For the past 2 decades, my life has been a roller coast ride. There's been many periods of feast or famine both emotionally and financially.
Early in that period, I first opened my eyes to the dark side of the reality we share.
The roller coaster ride was a trigger to the shift of my point of view, or as many call it, "awakening".

I should have gotten off that roller coaster ride a long ago, but I forgot to get off. I kept myself on that ride, screaming, crying, feeling the thrill, and ...on for another round.

It is akin to letting oneself go, getting into a real unhealthy lifestyle, gain a lot weight, then go on a super healthy streak, get yourself in shape again. And repeat that process over and over again.

I had no idea I was the one doing it all to myself. To my reality. It comes back to forgetting "what" I really am. Forgetting the power I hold within me.

I would complain and cry until I couldn't take it anymore, and decide to focus my intent in getting myself out of the hole I put myself in. And out I would be.

It wasn't the universe, karma, or life teaching me a lesson. It was ALL ME.

The more I learn about personal responsibility and personal power, the more I realize, I have a lot more to learn about. :facepalm:

So, in the here and now, I let it be known: I am getting off this roller coaster. No more cheap thrills. It's time to do some real work.

How nice to have Catsquotl back with us. Paula has this incredible gift to make stuff happen.

Meanwhile our houseguest is back home. His condition was caused by lack of sodium.
(as well as a diet of Coca Cola, white bread, cookies, fruit loops, shhh...)

So, to those who suffer from high blood pressure and therefore avoid salt, be careful.
It can backfire. You can easily fall into coma if the sodium levels drop below 120.

I would like to suggest a visualization for the eclipse tonight. (Or any other time):

We come together for the purpose of co-creation.

We co-create transformational energy in support of empowerment, freedom, well being, joy, love, compassion and truth.

We make these positive energies available to all life forms in need and all who want it.

Dark energies may choose to accept these energies, ride the wave of love and healing and set themselves free.

Breathing in and out, deeply and slowly, as each of is guided, we gather positive energies from Mother Earth, Source and the galactic center.

Gathering all this energy in our heart chakras, adding all the love we have to give, we exhale powerfully, sending this energy to illuminate and program the Avalon crystal grid.

The crystals joyfully pulse with brilliant light and sound, broadcasting positive light energy to the core of Mother Earth.

The core of Mother Earth glows. And as she glows, the light energy is reflected back through the rocks, dirt and liquid to her surface. All life forms can choose to accept this healing and loving energy and ride the wave.

This wave expands through the atmosphere, through the solar system, galaxies and beyond. As we look back at Mother Earth, she has become a beautiful radiant star, broadcasting the energies of empowerment, freedom, well being, joy, love, compassion and truth througout the universe, illuminating all areas of darkness.

The inexhaustible resource of Spirit is equal to any demand. Abundance is here and now manifest.

So Be It.

Right now, my fluffy white cat is in my lap, making really hard for me to type :) I brought her inside 3 days ago, the 22 of September. She and my other cat, Pinky (or, variously, Pinkie.

Bitty, the white one, has been spending a lot of time in her bed or in my lap, resting, and she has made no attempt to go outside. I think she must have been a total house cat, and that someone dropped her off.

p.s. When it comes to pet names, I have no imagination. I named her Bitty because she is little. Full grown, but little.

Emuleta Wheatha...I love it! I put that name into Google Translate--detect language---but got no return, so it must be Steveneese, some sort of obscure dialect... :secret: :Angel: **

But seriously, she knows her name already. So Bitty she is, and Bitty she will stay, at home, at least. Although at the vet, I may use something more in line with her physical beauty, like Mewsette,

The moon has not risen here yet and it is 7:30 pm pacific standard time in the western US Last night at this time the moon was full and half way into the sky over my house. Guess this means that the full full super super moon does not come around here tonight. Let you know if it does show up though..

Carmody said something recently on another thread, that I've been kicking around in my mind.

Thinking out loud here. The more that something is your focus, the more extreme the focus, the more energy is given to that something. That is why a bell curve is actually a loop. The two extremes of any polarity are very close to one another, almost indivisible, requiring their opposite to even exist.

Differential, once you see it, becomes an opportunity. Such a thin line.

I've recently experienced for the first time, an instant, an undeniably clear event, where I shifted from fear to love. It. Was. Awesome. Focus just MOVED. Energy just TRANSFORMED.

I am so thrilled to see it is possible.

And Selkie, the moon was lovely by all accounts, yes.

I saw the eclipse last night, and it was very beautiful.

I would think that was way to cool to actually see. It was really dark hear when I finally decided to leave the office and go to another room. I have a sneaky suspicion that the moon was in its throws of eclipse when I left. Around midnight this time zone I got up and noticed the very bright night. Looked at the moon then and it was so bright and looked real close that my eyes began to water. Wow. Hope you did not look at that directly.

The Uranus Pluto squares have done away with old thinking patterns
and now we will have to deal with Saturn square Neptune.

My take is to look for the most positive approach and that would be to bring down to reality (Saturn)
the highest ideals from higher dimensions (Neptune)
A new understanding of what it's like to live in a multi-dimensional universe.

Very true what you say. I can vaguely see it from my cave at times but practise makes it better.

Beginning and end can also be experienced in that way. Resp. feelings need to be less polar on the two sides. Equalizing enhances transition, energy transforms. But the poles remain, right?

Well, back to la cava for me. Love & Moonlight, for the occasion:

The moon really was big and bright, but there a thin veil of clouds over it, so it wasn't a problem. With the veil of clouds, I couldn't help thinking of Isis behind her veil :)

Lol, the way the eclipse came and went across the face of the moon reminded me of a very slow fan dance, just a tad risqué, sort of like that performed by Miss Sally Rand at the 1934 World's Fair in Chicago,

And there I was a bit upset because the clouds didn't come out quite as pink as they were in reality.

The sun had not yet risen, and only those fluffy clouds above the moon caught the morning light.

The "trick" is not to turn to photoshop et al, like so many 'pros', right after making the pic - so, it's quite alright like it is [at least to me].

The other "trick" is using a real camera, and knowing some of its basics.

If that is indeed a real image.

If it is, that means that the MGM image of the roaring lion is a drugged out, scared, confused male lion, trying to get the hell away from a nightmare.

It is akin to showing close up of the the face of a person in the act of being tortured, a close up of their face in-situ, as a logo at the start of every film.

It says, so clearly, 'this is who we are!' and, 'this is our product - what you are watching'.

I don't think it is a real image. Too bad, it is not far off from what hollywood really is, which is why people can believe it.

[Calz]

I don't think it is a real image.




I have no way of knowing but venture to concure ... 1st came about in the late 20's ... prior to color.

Obviously more made since then ... but equally obvious is the availability to make such imagery via technological means without needing to go that route.

The massive, old, shagbark hickory across the street is shedding its fruit for the year. It hangs over a garage that has a metal roof, and so all night long its crash...bang...bumpity/bumpity/bump. I swear...so help me god...that tree does not drop its nuts during the day. I know, because I have listened. Nope...it drops them at night. And so I lay in bed and laugh. And when that tree really gets rolling, I think I'll get up and pour myself a glass of wine and sit and toast that old tree and the new life encapsulated in those noisy nuts that are falling to the ground. You know why? Because the earth never gives up hope. Never. Not for an instant.

HUMAN by Yann Arthus-Bertrand

What makes us human?

2000 women and men from 60 countries, from the most different cultures and walks of life, telling a very personal story about women, love, work, poverty (vol. 1), about war (I highly recommand that), forgiving, homosexuality, family and life after death (vol.2), about happiness, education, disability, immigration, corruption and the meaning of life (vol. 3).

After having watched the first half of vol. 2 all the little sorrows have shrinked to the size of nanoparticles :)

It's more than four hours, but it works quite well to tune in at various points. If you make sure to start with vol. 1 and bear with it at least for the first seven minutes – I think I need not to say more.

Thanks, Nonin. What’s confusing is I have nothing to be icky about. I’m not depressed. It’s feels gray. I’m unfocused. Might be that I’m picking up others’ vibe or vibes that are floating about. The remedy is distance from others and for others. It quickens the clearing process. The pace has picked up in the last six months. As fast as it comes on, it’s gone. Which is why I don’t usually say much.

I had another bout of heart pain Wednesday. That’s twice in two weeks. The zaps are between the heart, spine and radiates through the back muscles.

As for the David Moorehouse's remote viewing course? I only got to lesson two and a half. Truth be told, I wondered if there’s a connection between it and the above mentioned. So, I put it on hold. I sense an uptick of ‘visitors’, too. I acknowledge and then scram them.

My sincere condolences, losing a pet is not just losing a pet - you have lost a family member and it takes time to heal. My cat Odin was killed several years ago by a neighbors dog (who also killed my other neighbor's cat this year as well) , on May 20th of this year my Italian greyhound was killed in front of my house. I still get those pangs in my heart from time to time.................time does heal and it helped me immensely to read/listen to Garnet Shulhauser's accounts of animals in the afterlife. http://www.garnetschulhauser.com/?page_id=237

[araucaria]

Just back from a break, let me weave a few strands together here relating to time and space – when and where, with particular reference to the weather. This is not one of my harder posts, more like an extended postcard with a spot of firsthand amateur journalism thrown in.

Being in the wrong place and the wrong time, we were in search of some warm sunshine and waited till last week on the basis of the ten-day forecast. Why a ten-day forecast should be at all accurate is a little baffling to me, since weather is inherently chaotic, i.e. unpredictable, being produced by multiple butterfly effects. But in this case it was spot on. Perhaps because stabler (cyclonic and anticyclonic) spells are by definition more resistant to such effects and therefore easier to forecast; or maybe there is more to it than that.

In French, le temps means both time and the weather, and the spatial metaphor is le ciel (the sky): just as you talk about the sky at night, the sky in daytime is what comes to us on a day-to-day basis from suborbital space. Weather-forecasting is la météo, and the very word meteorology suggests maybe not colloquial cats and dogs falling out of sky, maybe not even Fortean frogs and fishes, but at least meteors turning into meteorites – the ultimate in unpredictability: we may have some idea as to when, but not the foggiest notion as to where.

Driving is another unpredictable activity, especially with all the harvesters on the roads right now. It is made predictable by building six-lane highways on which you can convert miles into hours and work out expected arrival times. Based on this analogy, you wonder if something hasn’t been done to smooth out our weather patterns. But that would mean contradicting the proponents of anthropic climate change, whereby the manmade contribution is supposed to make weather less, not more predictable. That is not what we are seeing here.

And, just maybe, meddling with the weather, le temps, le ciel, may be a byproduct of interfering with time and space themselves. Time: improved forecasting presumably relies on better processing of the past (historical records), and the present (realtime satellite data). Space: it relies on data that is global (definitely), solar (probably), lunar (possibly) and astrological (unlikely, at least not publicly). Nonetheless, since not everything can be factored in, the future still involves a potential for change; hence expecting the unexpected, which still often materializes, is not the same as turning the unexpected into the expected. The present is the hinge between the old and the new.

Spatially, Bordeaux was our closest bet for warm sunshine, and we wanted to see the dynamic new city we keep hearing about. The current mayor, Alain Juppé, is a former prime minister and presidential hopeful for 2017, and although a conservative, he has certainly transformed the grim, grimy old city centre into something else. The grey old buildings have been cleaned up and the traffic diverted away; and the pale sandstone reflects the bright light beautifully, turning the place into somewhere attractive to outsiders, who are flocking in to stay – so much so that the old patrician families are tending to lose their influence. We were told this by a talkative shopkeeper from the other end of the country for whom such things are clearly a hot topic with her customers.

While not all change is necessarily good, when a current situation is gridlocked then change is necessary. Clearly the change here is mostly positive, since people are voting with their feet. But the question is, why are these politicians so manifestly capable at the local level, and these same people so hugely incapable at national level? Spot the differences: those are the areas that we need to work on. One major difference is the inertia of the civil service – unelected officials working to a longer timescale and so able to stymy and outstay any elected administration, to impose their diehard rejection of change. The British have turned it into a comedy show, inducing amused passivity. Alternative theorists might talk about ancient long-lived reptilian beings exercising a negative influence on us humans and draining our energy; this might also just be our reptilian brain protecting itself. If the civil service can be seen as an embodiment of that influence, then that is a huge system that can be reformed in a straightforward manner in our ordinary reality, either by legislating, or more simply by elected officials cutting through the red tape for once. Here in France, every two or three decades, we get a brief window of opportunity lasting about a year when radical reform is possible. One of these windows is due soon… Let’s do something with it, without waiting for Europe or any other stragglers.

Bordeaux is of course wine country, and we visited Saint-Emilion, an architecturally interesting town where much of the best wines are produced. Many of the top châteaux are to be found there, which, we were told, are mostly owned by large banking institutions, insurance corporations and the like. Why would fine wines be such a safe investment to cover possible insurance claims? There are two sides to this. On the one hand, the fat cats making these decisions are the ones who are quaffing the stuff. Just as they corner the best in technology, they corner the best in everything else. Hence, as both owners and consumers, they can artificially inflate prices as much as they like, since all this can do is price out the less overprivileged. For themselves, there is no financial outlay beyond from the left hand to the right hand.

On the other hand, this kind of good inflationary investment also makes the insurance claims proportionately more affordable – for while there is speculation on vintage wine, there is no corresponding speculation on the bricks and mortar and other materials requiring insurance cover. This is just one example of how the 1% über-rich form their breakaway civilization. Another way to achieve the same effect is of course to overcharge on insurance premiums, perhaps through actuaries using overblown statistics relating to supposedly increased risks of damage, most notably due to ‘climate change’. Hence some people would have a vested interest in hyping freak weather conditions – and we can see from our reliable long-range weather forecasts that this is what they are doing.

We also visited the nearby village of Montagne. The vendanges (grape harvest) were in full swing ten days early. This is nothing new: the dates are fairly flexible depending on the summer we’ve had. But something new did happen this year, reportedly the sunniest ever but with plenty of winter rain in the water table to supply the deep-rooted vines. We watched a wine-grower bringing in some of his first grapes, and to measure the sugar content, he collected a sample of the first juice from fruit crushed under its own weight at the bottom of a load. The usual level is about 11-12 mg/100ml to produce a wine containing 13-14% alcohol. But he came over to us to show this hydrometer bobbing up at 15.5. He was hardly overjoyed telling us he and all his colleagues were in uncharted territory this year, meaning that they had no experience in making claret out of grapes sweet enough to mature into vintage port. Normally speaking, more natural sugar is going to produce a better quality wine, but only because there is generally some room for improvement. Since we are talking about the very best, this is too much of a good thing and having a naturally fortified wine instead of one for drinking with food is not where they want to be. They might even have to dilute it, which is sacrilege because it would likely upset the whole balance of the must.

This marks the point where despite (or because of) the most ideal conditions ever, meaning an exceptional vintage for many, the very best may prove not to be the best at all. Therein perhaps lies a lesson for how an elite can be toppled from its perch with no outside help, as it were painting itself into a corner of perfection until it has nowhere to go. This has happened not through freak (bad) weather. Mother Nature has not freaked out, she has ‘freaked in’, with plenty of sunshine and no drought. The climate has not so much changed (for the worse) as it has perhaps matured into a less chaotic state.

Maybe the changes to the city of Bordeaux were a large butterfly helping along this effect, but in an unexpected way. Cleaning up all those buildings has increased its albedo: it is literally more radiant, reflecting off much more light than the old dirty stone ever could. And the influx of fresh blood has made the place much more vibrant: the ‘European Destination of the Year’. This is the way to go. By contrast, the recent flash flooding on the Riviera is more about too much concrete in unsuitable places than unusual weather conditions. Up to 8 inches of rain in 24 hrs is a common occurrence throughout the south-eastern region. For example, on the same day (3rd October) in 1988, there were 10 deaths in and around Nîmes. Climate change has little to do with weather patterns and is more about demolishing our old cast-in-concrete attitudes.

I love you Stinky

My sincere condolences, losing a pet is not just losing a pet - you have lost a family member and it takes time to heal. My cat Odin was killed several years ago by a neighbors dog (who also killed my other neighbor's cat this year as well) , on May 20th of this year my Italian greyhound was killed in front of my house. I still get those pangs in my heart from time to time.................time does heal and it helped me immensely to read/listen to Garnet Shulhauser's accounts of animals in the afterlife. http://www.garnetschulhauser.com/?page_id=237

Oh Saint Theresa, I have just seen your post about your beloved cat. So many of us have lost our companions. Our hearts join with yours as you grieve. It may help to hear that once in 4D I was surprised to see, bounding up to me through the green grass, one of our cats who'd come to say "hi". She was happy and together we ran along the paths until she took off like a shot, chasing something that had caught her attention. I was so pleased to see that our pets can come see us. I had not expected that (but now I say, "Why not?" I'd just never thought about it before.)

Elainie, I thank you for mentioning Garnet Schulhauser - I'd never heard of him, so went to your link and chose a 25-minute video from his webpage. He also relates how in 4D he was met by his dog who'd died ten years earlier. The latter half of this video broke my heart, as he describes being taken to see things on earth that we allow that cause intense pain - the slaughter of elephants by cyanide so their tusks can be taken; the slaughter of sharks for their fins as a delicacy that can be sold; the inhumane treatment of people in factory cities in China. It broke my heart, BUT it also goes on to speak of higher things. He was taken to see "the new earth" he called it.

In any event, there is far too much pain in this world, and I am certain that "we the people" will act when we can to change things for the better.

Here and now I am watching my 14 year old cat pass on from this earth...he is very weak and very quiet, his sister is making noise and really acting out, she must be upset.

This guy is such a good cat, I swear if he was a human, he would be the nicest guy ever. He is like the anti-cat, he is friendly and attentive, fetches, and acts very dog like.

Oh, I'm so sorry Saint T. I have a one year old male cat who looks just like yours, AND acts like a dog. He fetches the paper ball and he goes for walks with me (and his sister)

Sending compassionate healing energy to your heart and his soul.

Love love,

There is a place to be going to for those who willingly and knowingly cause pain, and want another shot at it. This time the message will be abundantly clear. I gave it a fully blown test run while it was being set up. It will not be easy. Obviously. Enough about that, it will be discovered on it's own. The whole thing is about choice being a free and open thing.. so that's more than enough already.

St. Theresa, my heart aches for you. Our furry kids are not possessions, they're family. Anubis told me that the well loved ones walk with him in the afterlife for a time, to ease the transition for the ones who never knew love and kindness. Blessings to you and yours.

Thanks, Ulli. Only 135 views so far. Just finished downloading. It begins @ 32:20 (https://youtu.be/kb983hqiePE?t=32m20s).

Summary - Published on Oct 5, 2015

Leo Zagami joins us for the first time, live from Rome, Italy and we discuss the Pope's visit to the US, the White House, Congress and the UN. We also cover his time with the Illuminati, Freemasons and his disclosure of secret societies. We also talk about Sept 23rd being the end of the world...this show was broadcast live on the 23rd.


Today, I shampooed my carpets and throw rugs. YaY!
It’s a mystery to me on how they get dirty when I hardly wear street shoes in my palace.
Yes, that's 2 a's http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/boff-smiley-face_zpstxx3msnv.GIF Palace.

Did laundry, too. YaY!
It involves a trip down and around into the dark cellar with dirt floor and a cement sidewalk of sorts. I hunch and shuffle my way along the first one third because of the low ceiling beams. And so I can dodge the old cobwebs that hang down with bits of fiberglass in them.

A really excellent listen. I agree with Leo on his point that every single new age thing from Blavatsky to Law Of One etc; came out of the Vatican/Jesuits. It's been deliberately crafted. Take a look now at some of the current memes out there in the alternative community.

[Elainie]

Leo mentions a book that is underground in the Vatican that when opened is so powerful, things start happening. Something very similar was told to my by a friend in the Tibetan community here who is a refugee and grew up in a monastery. He said the book is written in blood and is very ancient. He only saw it several times when it was taken out by the elder monks but was so frightened by what it contained and when opened what happened in the room.

Why be afraid?

That energy cuts both ways. It makes the announcement of eternity, multiple dimensions, and unstoppable immortality a real thing. All it says is, 'reach out and take it'. IF one believes they are weak in the face of that, then, one will manifest such comparatives.

If it merely opens one's eyes as it should considered as be doing ...then... it says something else. It says that one's body is coloring one's experience and making it so the body has a competition against a thing it cannot fathom.

Yet, you are not your body.

So let's get real, let's get down to it in scientific terms.

The Japanese (university, etc) did an experiment where they tested people for psychic capacities.

They built a room where the room was completely isolated from all forms of radiation. Light, heat, etc, all blocked off. A dark space in light, magnetism, radio noise, thermal noise, etc. A very dark space.

They put a notice on one wall, with some writing on it.

They monitored the room with every kind of detector they could utilize, for the given types of radiation they were looking for.

They then had psychics remote view the room and they were told to read what was said on the notice in the wall.

When the psychics were supposedly in the room, remote viewing or even astrally projecting into the room....when they were monitoring the notice, the level of photon flux increased notably.

Repeatedly, and accurately. The more talented of them manged to read the notice accurately.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_noise


To see aliens or inter-/multi-dimensional's is an acknowledgement that scientific mundane linear reality.... is DEAD, and the universe opens up in a change of attitude and change of thought projection..... and the imagined fences fall down.

essentially, to fear spirits emanating from a book if it is opened, is to fully deny the true reality and project a false reality. One that denies the empowerment of SELF, in that exact same moment.

To deny empowerment of self, via the body's filtering of the moment. When the body, in that moment, can easily be seen to be merely a protrusion of self, self that is multidimensional and incarnated in two places at the same time... and in that... is MUCH more powerful than any half wisp that is pouring out of some book. A book that is designed to cause your body to fill you with fear and cripple you through this unrealized mechanism of avatar coloration, and ignorance.

What I'm saying..is that of one experiences these things, then they know the second half of the story is TRUE and REAL, and that second half.... is the fully blown empowerment of self.

Brilliant post, Carmody. I will remember this the next time I open a book written in blood.
Actually, once upon a time, in the nineties, someone lent me the book of Urantia.
When I mentioned this to one of my theosophist friends she freaked.
Said she wouldn't even consider having it in her house, and told me to immediately wrap it in tinfoil.
I didn't take her advice, because I knew that fear of a book had to be worse than anything contained therein.

However, my curiosity about such things has faded in recent years. I'm more fixed on my own path and agenda now, rather than what book teachings want to direct me to do.
But I guess life is all about phases, and to get from there to here each small step counts.

[Carmody]

And to add that the way we tend to physically use and connect our minds, is that books express the hypnotic.

We recite them to ourselves in our internal voice, we 'read' them as a 'read into and of', an infection and inflection.

After all, hypnotism is a fundamental for regression, mind kontrol, self education, all of that. The gentle voice entrainment the visuals entrainment, and so on.

If the ego is a call back record of the dimensional connection to the body... and the echo is the internal voice is... the tactile feedback to the driver of the avatar, then interrupting the feedback loop and inserting data is a point of change. Or control.

Reading is the same.

In books or on forums.

Or drugs, or GMO, propaganda, violence in films, and so on.

This young man and his family grew up within the Bon tradition, he has quite a story of which I don't doubt because I know his mother and siblings. His tradition is not mine but I know such things exist on this planet (cults/religions with heavy black magic). I just mentioned it because Leo mentions a book that sounds similar to the one my friend was subject to on several occasions.

G'now right here to you all!

I came across this article today and I was really impressed, especially about the dropping recidivism rate of the inmates with earned degrees.

Prison vs. Harvard in an Unlikely Debate
Inmate debate team is part of Bard College program helping give prisoners a chance for a better life (http://www.wsj.com/articles/an-unlikely-debate-prison-vs-harvard-1442616928)

By LESLIE BRODY
Sept. 18, 2015 6:55 p.m. ET

NAPANOCH, N.Y.—On one side of the stage at a maximum-security prison here sat three men incarcerated for violent crimes.

On the other were three undergraduates from Harvard College.

After an hour of fast-moving debate Friday, the judges rendered their verdict.

The inmates won.

The audience burst into applause. That included about 75 of the prisoners’ fellow students at the Bard Prison Initiative, which offers a rigorous college experience to men at Eastern New York Correctional Facility, in the Catskills.
(continue reading (http://www.wsj.com/articles/an-unlikely-debate-prison-vs-harvard-1442616928))

Here's a snippet from the Bard Prison Initiative FAQs (http://bpi.bard.edu/faqs/) page:

Is the program cost effective?

Extremely. The criminal justice system is staggeringly expensive. As a country we spend $212 billion dollars annually to apprehend, try, and incarcerate prisoners. In recent years, the United States has maintained a prison population of more than 2.3 million people, with the average annual cost of over $29,000 per person (in many states, including New York, the cost is much higher). And while America has the longest and most punitive sentencing structures in the modern world, 750,000 inmates are released each year. Nationwide, nearly 68 out of every one hundred prisoners are rearrested within three years of release, and more than half return to prison. Research indicates that these high and expensive rates of recidivism fall to less than 22% if prisons offer significant educational opportunity to incarcerated men and women. Among formerly incarcerated Bard students, less than 2% have returned to prison. The estimated cost per person, per year of the BPI program is a small fraction of the price of continuing incarceration. It saves tax payers money, while increasing public safety.

--------------------------------
If there's a true, intrinsic motivation for learning it can be just for the betterment of society, I believe.

edit: I have to add this beautiful video from the Bard Prison Initiative:

Been listening to this great interview all afternoon.
Leo Zagami interviewed by Jimmy Church...found it on Giovoni's Vatican thread.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb983hqiePE

A really excellent listen. I agree with Leo on his point that every single new age thing from Blavatsky to Law Of One etc; came out of the Vatican/Jesuits. It's been deliberately crafted. Take a look now at some of the current memes out there in the alternative community.

Interesting indeed; evokes many questions like f.i:

Are we talking about "The Law of One" channeled by Carla Rueckert here? In that case in what way could a message channeled by a medium whether you believe it or not, be crafted by the Vatican/Jesuits?

Astrologically speaking the Age of Aquarius has an affinity to the placement of Uranus and the sigh of Aquarius in a certain timeframe, this is nothing that can be crafted by anyone except for the interpretation of it.

What was Zagamis view on abortion exactly? He mentioned that the Pope did not adress the issue and the "horrile things" made to the faetuses. I've heared about a video coming from the abortion antagonists keeping feauteses alive to "collect" body parts? Is he referring to that?

English not being my native language his accent at times makes it diffucult for me to hear what he's saying..

You bring up an interesting point here, transiten.
I don't know the answers, but have often wondered about how channeled materials can be crafted.
If one accepts the fact that such messages are telepathically transmitted from another dimension
why can this not also be done by people who practice magic, and would then do such transmittance from this dimension, in their secret rituals?
About your other question...yes, I do believe he was referring to the harvesting of live fetuses by abortionists.
Lots of food for thought in that interview.

I enjoyed it (and I was the biggest sucker of all over the years regarding "new age material").

Having said that ... it was about as classic as it gets ... person is approached and via various means "controlled" into writing a book (paraphrased short story) for the betterment of mankind. We have your essential "raising your vibes" to "ascend" to the "new earth".

Now ... if all new age material stems from Jesuits etc planning and the technology for putting messages into someone's head (among others) clearly exists then the possibility of such abuse goes well beyond "channeling" as this guy was just walking along minding his own business and not trying to establish the communication.

One thing though; how might the "ghostly bum" manage to give this man the genuine feeling of love and peace if it was sheer manipulation? Are there "false" feelings of love, peace and harmony?

That technology is (allegedly) available as well (aka the blissed out tunnel of light with near death experiences etc).

As we learn more about what can be induced ... it really puts into question most everything in our experience of what is "real" does it not???

One thing though; how might the "ghostly bum" manage to give this man the genuine feeling of love and peace if it was sheer manipulation? Are there "false" feelings of love, peace and harmony?

I would think there are.
Amongst drug addicts, amongst sports fans, and between any two predators when plotting how to trap their prey.
Also I consider most sentimentality as "false" feelings of love.

That technology is (allegedly) available as well (aka the blissed out tunnel of light with near death experiences etc).

As we learn more about what can be induced ... it really puts into question most everything in our experience of what is "real" does it not???

So you mean that everyone having a near death experience with the tunnel of light is being manipulated with negative technology?

Emulate...not always a bad thing. It's a start.
I've always held the belief that even soulless beings have an opportunity here to develop their own soul.
Of course, there will always be new waves of more soulless creatures....one of the reason they come to this earth in the first place is to find their true identity, which is a multi-dimensional, eternal existence. So even a robot - if it is sensitive enough it might well house a soul one day.

The super rich have plenty of money so they can learn from such abundance that it is never enough, and that there must be something better out there.
Equally the powerful have an opportunity here to discover that they are powerless, ultimately.

And it is that discovery of powerlessness and poverty that can then open their consciousness to the real world.

Not necessarily ... but I am simply questioning the validity of the experience.

NDE was one of my favorite topics over the years and I think I read about every book that came out. The experience itself has been proven (with what people report back on the details of what they have "seen" (while astral obviously) when they lay there in the hospital and so on).

Yet there seems to be questions regarding "going into the light" and the joyful pull ... relatives that have passed on etc.

Against the backdrop of what certainly appears to have been the long time reincarnation "trap" flies against what people talk about in their after (or in between) life experiences of getting the life review ... going to wherever ... finding your soul group ... having a nice relax ... then planning for your next incarnation etc.


(remember I jumped into this in response to the claim of Leo Z that the Vatican/Jesuits have been "crafting" everything "new age" ... right???)

there are many ed groups and "mature spirit's" posts stating that the whole gig here on earth is for gaia and her creations (including us spirits in human form) to undergo the "great experiment" that gaia wanted to embark on.

the essence is "skin in the game". it doth appear that without "skin in the game" a sentient living biological creature can't learn.


skool of hard knocks meme.

the ai can't learn the way we learn; the ai has no heart. real knowledge for a spiritual entity is heart based. according to some the demons have lost their connection with source and due to that separation lost their hearts. some demons want their hearts back and gaia is a true goddess and is interested more in remediation than punitive. gaia wants to help wayward souls come back to the source.

I haven't come across a thread that deals with the "skin in the game" being necessary for spiritual advancement, yet many ancient eastern spiritual practices actually value miseries as blessings due to the teaching potential of painful life experiences.


While Nature has provided us enough and more avenues to happy in our earthly sojourn, how is it Revered Babuji Maharaj mentioned that we should be “happy under all circumstances”. Does it mean to say that there are situations in life when most of us may not be inclined to feel happy? If so, what are they? The miseries sufferings pain, diseases we undergo in our lives as most of us feel do not contribute to our happiness. However, Revered Babuji asserted under those conditions also we should continue to be happy, if only we understand their purpose and necessity in our lives, since they are inevitable for an embodied soul. They are not punitive but reformative.


Revered Babuji further enlightened us about the importance of sufferings, miseries pains and diseases in our lives since they are bestowed on us by the all merciful and loving Divinity for our deliverance for which we should ever remain grateful and be happy.


Revered Babuji Maharaj stated that “sufferings and miseries have their own place in life. Everyone has his share of it. Even sages of eminence had their own. Had there been no sufferings in the world, man’s thought could never have gone up to the reverse side of it (i.e) the bliss. Thus man’s affliction offers him inducement for finding out means of emancipation. In other words they serve as stimulants. We know that coal can be transformed into diamond.

Whatever experience we encounter, whether here or on the other side...we always have a choice, to run with that ball, or not.
The Self is in charge of it's destiny, ultimately. Even in the choice of what "guidance" to accept, whenever such presents itself.
We go with whatever works best for the big picture, which includes us.

I had something come to mind regarding the quote on Leo Z interview in association with "new age" material.


I agree with Leo on his point that every single new age thing from Blavatsky to Law Of One etc; came out of the Vatican/Jesuits. It's been deliberately crafted.

Having said that ... it was about as classic as it gets ... person is approached and via various means "controlled" into writing a book (paraphrased short story) for the betterment of mankind. We have your essential "raising your vibes" to "ascend" to the "new earth".

There is a new earth every second...or quadrillionth of a second.
What maintains the old earth is fixed minds, and what reveals it is open-minded, inventive beings.
And the reality we experience is the result of the clashes between those extremes.

The abortion issue reminds me that I once briefly knew a doctor/writer who went on to publish mostly novels, one of which was made into a film and has an English translation (http://www.epagine.fr/ebook/9781609800994-the-case-of-dr-sachs-winckler-martin/).[/URL] He has a website where the most visited section is the one on contraception and gynecological matters, suggesting that many women are not getting enough info and advice from their general practitioner. He also did a series of daily 3-minute radio shows on national radio on a [URL="http://www.martinwinckler.com/spip.php?article25"]variety of subjects (http://www.epagine.fr/ebook/9781609800994-the-case-of-dr-sachs-winckler-martin/) until he was unceremoniously taken off the air after talking too much about medical matters– e.g. fluoride (http://www.martinwinckler.com/spip.php?article708)– that got up the noses of the pharmaceutical industry. He is a good man, devoted to getting information out to ordinary people in respectful, understanding and understandable ways.

His first book was a partially autobiographical novel called La Vacation (1989), about a country doctor who does piecework at the local abortion clinic, as I recall because it was a public service that not enough of his colleagues would provide. The writing experience is the doctor’s way of dealing with his share of the trauma, and of course the publication would help many patients and others involved to cope with theirs.

The title La Vacation has nothing to do with holidays; vacation in French here means piecework, with the connotation of making a vacancy also coming into play. Again as I recall, one of the distressing aspects of this activity is to do with the technical aspects of the procedure. Not to distress anyone unduly here, it makes the harvesting of body parts highly implausible in normal circumstances; for the hard of hearing, I’ll merely add that the above translation of the title is an understatement of the process, which is ‘horrible’ enough.

While I have no comment to make on Leo Zagami’s remarks, there may therefore be a degree of over-exaggeration on the part of people who go around murdering doctors on the grounds that they allegedly murder unborn children. The subject is gruesome and traumatic enough when handled compassionately. Having said that, I am obviously willing to admit that my info may be out-of-date and the uncompassionate words might in some instances correspond to actual deeds.

[Calz]

NDE's ( I'e had one, my oldest daughter has had one) are a different story.



I have not had a NDE so I simply have to go on what so many others testify to.

I mentioned it was one of (perhaps *the*) favorite topic of mine over many years.

I expect the biggest reason the topic was so appealing to me for so long is that it brought home the idea that life goes on.

Once you reach the point of realizing there is no reason to fear death ... you become empowered to approach your current life much differently.


.... then came the "don't go into the white light" ... stuff (documented in various threads here).


Perhaps it is no more than once you have grown into learning something it is merely time for your next challenge???

I don't know.


Anyway ... I didn't wish to back myself into a corner of debunking a long held personal belief. I continue to try to remain open minded to everything yet no longer offering complete belief in anything (or anyone).


NDE was first popularized with Dannion Brinkley. Don't think he was the first to bring it to public awareness but rather the first to really move the concept to mainstream.

He experienced 3 NDE's.

From memory only, his 3rd experience was different than the first two and he was quite troubled about what had happened. I don't remember the source of that and so I started to see what I could find.

This interview (going back about 3 years now) was after his 3rd NDE but I have yet to find where the idea of his negative experience on the 3rd time came from.


Interesting enough to share here (and now) though.


Perhaps lumping NDE together with all "new age" is not correct ... perhaps this is outside that which has been "created" or "promoted" by the Vatican/Jesuit claim???

I was a little girl when I saw my first movie on NDE's. I believe it was called Life After Life~ Raymond Moody . My oldest had an NDE when she was 3.5 years old (1994). She remembers it clearly. I had one in 1997 and afterwards read everything I could put my hands on about NDE's. Dannion B's books were a great resource for me (also my husband at the time, his ex became friends with Dannion). There were some similarities to Dannion's experiences (what I call the gatekeepers, tall blonde Nordic beings) that I found interesting. My experience was not fearful, I was not taken to a light, I was in a tunnel though and met with this being. That evening when I was alive and well, I received a visit from this being as well. It's a fascinating subject, I don't have concrete beliefs about, including the light "trap". I like to gather data from various sources and compare. Right now I work with people who have gone the ibogaine route for addictions and it's fascinating to hear some of what they report. It's also very unsettling because many have described what sounds like a soul recycling unit.

[Ron Mauer Sr]

During a dream, I was wandering around, probably off planet, just exploring. Finding an open door, I walked trough. Immediately the door closed, a loud buzzing noise started and I was surrounded by what appeared to be small robots or greys. Was this my interpretation of the light trap (and memory erasure process)?

Realizing I had stepped into a trap, I sent a call for help to ET friends. No help arrived. When I called upon my own power to escape the trap, I was immediately set free.

Years later I heard stories about the light trap.

When croaking time is here, I plan to not rush into the light, but maintain a strong intent to return home to Source.

[Carmody]

More than anything, it would be a case of the collective steering into an expected moment.

Us steering our future to that moment, as we had been infected with the idea of arriving there.

Holographic universe, with no time, all time is happening at once, etc. It is based on intelligence as self reflective information patterns and flows.

Don't give power to those who hide yours from you so they can get you to believe it is theirs.




Define real.

Define reality.

Good luck with that.

Gets right back to the idea of all is now on a 2D timeless field....history is sensation, recollection, artifact and artifice, it is all we 'measure' ..as scientists cannot measure 'now', no matter how they try. It cannot be done. all measurement is historical, all recollection, all memory, all act as reaction, is historical....there is no now, as everything contains a component of the now 'fulcrum 2d sheet pairing/moment'.

And thus projection...... is future.

It's a 2D timeless quantum field/sheet, all connected, where micro differential is the entire manifold system. Intelligence and information, no difference.

It is not a simulacrum, in that sense, no. It simply is what is, in this space and place, in this view. since we all project reality, our future, from analysis of all that is history, in this giant 2D quantum differential sheet of now, what you believe is real, what you project is real. Due to coupling effects, some modicum of regularity is available, in the fabric of intelligence and in the geometry of angular vibrations and their couplings - that we call elements.

Time, space, gravity, all easy concepts. etc. Remember how much energy is said occupies one light bulb sized volume of empty space. Enough to boil the earth's oceans. Infinitesimally small differentials in the 'atoms', or in this case, prima-matter, dark matter, and so on..... this defines space-time and gravity, atomic lattice structure, etc.

We (our idea of reality) are a resonant bubble of dimensional leakage coming off the 2D dimensional dual vortex (in/out) fulcrum point in each atomic particle.

This, of course, directly leads to the understanding that we are a mirror of ....an angle of...a sub resonance of...an uber/meta resonance of.... we are analogous to.......to......!..other dimensions, other energetic patterns.

Again, reality is a differential, it is not a singular absolute. One vs other, all relative.

No absolutes.

This was just stated to be the situation:

Perfectly accurate clocks turn out to be impossible (http://phys.org/news/2015-10-perfectly-accurate-clocks-impossible.html#nRlv)


Can the passage of time be measured precisely, always and everywhere? The answer will upset many watchmakers. A team of physicists from the universities of Warsaw and Nottingham have just shown that when we are dealing with very large accelerations, no clock will actually be able to show the real passage of time, known as "proper time".

The ideal clock is merely a convenient fiction, as theorists from the University of Warsaw (UW) and University of Nottingham (UN) have shown. In a study published in the journal Classical and Quantum Gravity they demonstrate that in systems moving with enormous accelerations, building a clock that would precisely measure the passage of time is impossible for fundamental reasons.

"In both theories of relativity, special and general, it is tacitly assumed that it is always possible to construct an ideal clock - one that will accurately measure the time elapsed in the system, regardless of whether the system is at rest, moving at a uniform speed, or accelerating. It turns out, however, that when we talk about really fast accelerations, this postulate simply cannot apply," says Dr. Andrzej Dragan from the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw.

The simplest clocks are unstable elementary particles, for example muons (particles with similar properties to electrons but 200 times more massive). Usually, muons decay into an electron, muon neutrino, and an electron antineutrino. By measuring the decay times and averaging the results for muons moving slowly and those moving at nearly the speed of light, we can observe the famous slowing down of the passage of time: the faster the muons are moving, the less likely the experimenter is to see them decay. Velocity therefore affects the clocks' observed tempo.

What about acceleration? Experiments were performed at CERN in the late 1970s, measuring the decay time of muons undergoing circular motion accelerations even as great as billions of billions of times the acceleration of Earth's gravity (10^18 g). Such acceleration was found to have no impact on the disintegration times.

The Polish-British group of theorists from the universities of Warsaw and Nottingham, on the other hand, were looking at the description of unstable particles moving in accelerating motion in a straight line. The key point for their analysis turned out to be a fascinating effect predicted in 1976 by the Canadian physicist William Unruh.

"Contrary to intuition, the concept of a particle is not completely independent of the observer. We all know the Doppler Effect, for example, which causes a photon emitted by a moving source to appear bluer to an observer toward which the source is approaching, but redder to one it is receding from. The Unruh effect is somewhat similar, except that the results are more spectacular: in an certain area of space, a non-accelerating observer sees a quantum field vacuum, whereas an accelerating observer sees many particles," explains Dr. Dragan.

The equation describing the Unruh effect says that the number of particles visible within a quantum field varies depending on the acceleration experienced by an observer: the greater the acceleration, the more of them there are. These non-inertial effects may be due to the movement of the observer, but their source can also be a gravitational field. Interestingly, the Unruh effect is very akin to the famous Hawking radiation emitted by black holes.

The unstable particles which the physicists from the universities of Warsaw and Nottingham treated as a fundamental clocks in their analysis decay as a result of interactions with other quantum fields. The theory says that if such a particle remains in a space filled with a vacuum it decays at a different pace than when in the vicinity of many other particles interacting with it. Thus if in a system of extreme acceleration more particles can be seen as a result of the Unruh effect, the average decay times of particles such as muons should change.

"Our calculations showed that above certain very large accelerations there simply must be time disorders in the decay of elementary particles. And if the disturbances affect fundamental clocks such as muons, then any other device built on the principles of quantum field theory will also be disrupted. Therefore, perfectly precise measurements of proper time are no longer possible. This fact has further consequences, because losing the ability to accurately measure the passage of time also means problems with the measurements of distance," explains Dr. Dragan.

Until now it has been assumed that the concepts of time and space may lose their traditional senses only when certain phenomena predicted by hypothetical theories of quantum gravity begin to play a vital role. It is believed that the necessary conditions prevailed in the vicinity of the Big Bang.

"In our paper, we show that for problems with the measurements of space-time to arise, such extreme conditions are not needed at all. Time, and therefore space, most likely cease to be accurately measurable even in today's Universe, provided that we try to carry out the measurements in systems moving with great acceleration," notes Dr. Dragan.

The results from the physicists from Warsaw and Nottingham mean that at sufficiently high accelerations, the operational capabilities of any theory built on the notion of time, and thus also space, will be disrupted. This raises interesting questions. If in extremely accelerating systems we cannot build a clock that measures time accurately, is this exclusively a fundamental flaw in our measurement methods? Or maybe something is happening directly to time itself? And do properties which cannot be measured accurately even make physical sense?

Modern accelerators can accelerate particles with accelerations several orders of magnitude higher than in the experiments of the 70s. Thus today we can carry out experiments in which the Unruh effect should be visible - and so changes in the decay time of particles triggered by acceleration should be observable, too. The conclusions of the Polish-British group of physicists on ideal clocks will thus soon be verified.

"If our predictions are confirmed experimentally, many things related to our understanding of space-time, the passage of time, and its measurement methods will have to be rethought from scratch. It could be... interesting," concludes Dr. Dragan with a smile.

I have read many books like Raymond Moodys about NDE and memories from earlier lifetimes.

I instinctively avoided the "Don't go into the white light" thread, can't prove anything but I trust my teachers from the mediumcourse who help displaced spirits go into the light.

There's a TV-program "The Unknown" in Sweden where spirits that still are hovering in our dimension disturbing pples daily life in more or less dramatic ways, are lovingly guided to the "other side" and asked to go "into the light". Then again some spirits are just loving family memebers who are allowed to visit now and then.

Both my MacBook Air also gave up the ghost in recent weeks. The newer one lost the hard drive, and the older one lost a few keys to function, including the back space. Both have battery issues, but here in Costa Rica the local Apple service rip us off to the tune of 150% above the U.S. prices so I always intended to use EBay and find a local Apple service guy, but never succeeded.
My current planet transit is still Uranus square sun, so none of this comes as a surprise.

The other day, I was having lunch with an old friend I haven't seen for many years.
The conversation drifted to a UFO sighting I had while out with her and another friend many years back. I mentioned about the strange light when it happened, many years ago, and they just brushed it off laughing back then. The other friend assured me it was a satellite falling out of orbit.

I told this friend during lunch, that I was dead serious, that it couldn't have been a satellite because it flew up in the blink of an eye.
She was shocked to hear this from me, and asked me if I believed there was life out there.

I told her of course, because it would be insane that we would be the only intelligent life in an universe as vast as ours.

She told me that I was talking scary talk, and wanted me to stop.

It hit me then, why we don't have full blown official disclosure. I saw the face of the sleeping populace.

She doesn't know me. I only posted on Avalon and suggested anyone that wanted a copy to drag it to their desktop. There's an updated version she hasn't seen. It's her material. It was hard for me to see it and I figured it was the same for others. (original below) Half of her graphics are hand written and hard to see. For some, the presentation may interfere with her message.

The other day, I was having lunch with an old friend I haven't seen for many years.
The conversation drifted to a UFO sighting I had while out with her and another friend many years back. I mentioned about the strange light when it happened, many years ago, and they just brushed it off laughing back then. The other friend assured me it was a satellite falling out of orbit.

I told this friend during lunch, that I was dead serious, that it couldn't have been a satellite because it flew up in the blink of an eye.
She was shocked to hear this from me, and asked me if I believed there was life out there.

I told her of course, because it would be insane that we would be the only intelligent life in an universe as vast as ours.

She told me that I was talking scary talk, and wanted me to stop.

It hit me then, why we don't have full blown official disclosure. I saw the face of the sleeping populace.

Maybe this slow leak style is actually a merciful method.
It certainly is, skyflower. I sometimes examine how I would react to an alien walking through the door (never mind through the wall!): it’s not because I am open to the idea that it would necessarily be all that straightforward. Think how hard it is to conduct normal business with someone with a facial or other deformity or someone with an odd name like Dumbass. The acclimatization has been going on in more than just the obvious ways too. In country areas round here, you will rarely if ever encounter a black person. I remember as a child, the first black men I saw were running the Olympic 100 m final on TV. And I still recall the strange fascination at the first one I spotted 100 m away in the street. Society as a whole has progressed in leaps and bounds, but that just means the entire bell curve has moved along, with its median position and its extremes. There are still plenty of kids whose only ‘comfortable exposure’ will be tennis or soccer stars on TV. While some people are cavorting with lions and tigers, others are still scared of a mouse, or of dogs, from Rottweilers to poodles. And so many still treat the opposite sex as an alien species, with little understanding. :)

We are talking about a very primitive survival instinct picked up in the plains of Africa that we need to learn to overcome. I can’t help thinking that the reptilian aspect of one group is merely how the reptilian brain processes a presence that puts a person on high alert. Should we override that defence mechanism, and if so how? The question dissolves into the habitual issue of trust. Most humans you can trust, but there are just enough scoundrels out there to make things really awkward. Are the nasty lookers all nasty? Are the beautiful humans all beautiful people? By our earthbound standards, it can’t be that simple. But are our earthbound standards operative here, or is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Actually, beauty in the eye of the beholder is our earthbound standard. A primitive view of blacks is that they all look indistinguishably ugly; a more evolved view of the same population is that they all look as different from each other as whites, and with the same variety and quality of beauty and plainness as whites. All that has changed is the perception, from the strange uniformity to the familiar mixture. But meanwhile the moral quality of both groups has improved as they move away from racist crimes and misdemeanours towards comfortable cohabitation and mixing.

Building trust through communication is like filling a canal lock with water: when the level on the inside reaches the level on the outside, first up and then down (or vice versa), you can open the lock and allow free passage, but not before. The same ship can sail at a different altitude than before.

Just wondering how my signature broke the new guidelines - too many line feeds perhaps? Or somehow uninteresting, unpleasant, distracting, irritating? I try to be none of those, so it's no big deal to get rid of it. My apologies to anyone whom I unintentionally offended.

Just found a little feather from a Great Horned Owl. Very Sweet.

The Owls have been back for a good while now. A welcomed presence. A huge one hangs about in a giant Red Oak in my yard. It's very quiet -wouldn't know its there. When I walk by the oak, once in while it lets out a subtle Whoooot.... and startles the heck out of me, jumping I look up and there it is, big ole owl way up on a branch looking at me.

Sometimes there are twenty to forty of them in the trees near my place. Yes, sleep escapes me when they are there, lol.
Amazing sitting in the forest with them; I lose all sense of time & space -a very deep beautiful mystical chorus.
I love their presence.

Thanks for posting this, Wind.
My goodness, what memories....running to the store to buy that album the moment it first came out.
The Beatles were the ultimate glamour trip in 1969 and London was buzzing. And then they turned to psychedelics and Eastern religion, and the collective mind opening was in full swing.
I was so lucky to have lived in London during those unforgettable years, first as an art student and later as a fashion designer. Even got to shake John Lennon and Yoko Ono's hands when I was introduced to them as I was the projectionist in the small cinema club called the Arts Lab, where Yoko's movie premiered. Drury Lane, Covent Garden, London.
So many amazing anecdotes there which I will never forget.

I also want to thank you Wind for posting that album or song or entire. I got that album first when came home from Vietnam and fell asleep at night with head phones on listing over and over to it. I haven't followed this thread lately but gather that something is appearing in truth about this Ruiner/Shane person that does not smell right. I always felt with inner self like Meeradas stated above. These folks Cory Goode and this Ruiner appeared to me to be coming out of left field and do not want to go into any nasties but just could not get behind the rhetoric. Well I have something for you. Not sure what is happening with signature stuff and will have to go back and catch up on that but here is something I have been meaning to give to you. I just call it wind and when I first saw it I thought of you. Enjoy.

[gripreaper]

Let me do a post on my signature. The first line is: It’s only a ride, a choice between fear and love. Yes, there is a link to the You Tube “The Big Electron”. Very succinct and moving. It really is that simple, our choice between fear and love. As quaint as it is, LOVE is the answer.

George Carlin and Bill Hicks, two of the greatest comedians of all time, were able to bring truth through comedy, and you know why this is important? Because the news is not endearing, yet comedy is. Comedy breaks down the defensive barriers and stirs the emotions, and it is the emotional counterpart which ties our physicality to the divine. It is through the cellular experience that we retain memory, and it is the deep heart which encodes these experiences in the very DNA of our immortal souls. It's only a ride, so don't take life so seriously.

Next, the “Right Use of Energy” is what I call righteousness, not some religious dogma about some avatar or savior teaching us about righteousness, through the punishment/reward memes of religiosity. You see, any stimulus can be pleasurable or painful, but it is our beliefs which determine how we react to such stimuli, and to remain unattached to these polarized events is the key to unity. So that is why my signature line states: The Future is a dream that I intend to become lucid in.

For, as we evolve and heal the polarized states of consciousness and move towards the middle path of unity, we will become more lucid and the distinction between the dream states and the awakened states will dissolve. That is how you know if you are waking up or not. So, taking the Red pill is the first step, to look at truth as it is and to own your own truth, to feel it and embrace it without judgment or attaching any belief structures to it, not to sequester it from the wholeness of who you truly are.

Therefore, "Just because I took the Red Pill does not mean I washed it down with kool aid". The Red Pill is a reference to the movie "The Matrix" where Morpheus offers Neo the choice to wake up and see the truth, or to go back to sleep. Neo chooses the Red Pill and after you choose to wake up, you can never go back.

In the United States, Kool Aid was a drink that sold like hotcakes back when I was growing up, and it was the greatest marketing scheme ever, to take water, put sugar in it and some coloring, and sell it. So, once you find out that Kool aid is just colored sugar water, then you are no longer trapped in illusion and drinking the kool aid. This phrase became an iconic phrase, and to this day is used whenever one believes untruths, or is slow to realize truth. We say: “They are still drinking the kool aid”

And last but not least, I have in my signature line “When you can walk on Water, take the boat”. It's definitely a strange boat. This refers to anyone who has gained great wisdom and is choosing to share their story with others. One must not elevate themselves to the status of guru, or to be someone who looks down on others as if to say, I am higher up in consciousness than you are.

Once you achieve some modicum of energetic enlivenment in your etheric body and your physical body is not trapped in the lower aberrant emotions, then you may appear to be an avatar, and you may have many who will flock to you, and some will want to cling to your energy and some will want to suck off your energy, but we must remain in balance and hold a strong boundary, and be compassionate and passionate.

Then finally, I link to the song “Strange Boat” by the Waterboys, which is kind of a theme song for Avalon, but also a theme for this earthly journey we are all on. It elicits emotion and helps to imbed and imbue experience here on planet earth. First and foremost, we must remember that we are all souls having a human experience, as we all agreed to the collective dream. We emote. It is through emotions that we have the human experience. It is this experience which is endearing.

So, NO, I do not want to change my signature line or to shorten it, and anyone who comes to Avalon for the first time and reads one of my posts for the first time, can take the journey through my signature line and know me in an instant. This signature encapsulates the true essence of the feelings and emotions which course through me each and every day and is a snapshot of who I am.

This is my soul on display. Take it or leave it. I also very much enjoy the signature lines of others because they encapsulate the deep truths in a very succinct way. I wish I could have all of them as my signature lines, yet I digress, it cannot be.

Sad news for you, grip ... shortly (a day or three, not sure when) your current signature, if it remains as it is, will be cleared out ... made empty.

May I suggest that the authors of "Great Signatures", such as yourself, put the signature elsewhere, such as on their profile or some other place on the web, and put a link to there, in place of their current signature.

There's a trade off between introducing yourself well to those who first read one of your posts, and repeatedly taking up space and a bit of attention of readers, forever after.

You will have company to commiserate with ... I see some other longer, or italicized, or colored fonts, or centered or such signatures above.

There are of course more details on Bill's thread: A change to forum guidelines about members' signatures (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?85672-A-change-to-forum-guidelines-about-members-signatures).

[araucaria]

My signature is gone by my own doing. Paul suggests take them elsewhere. I’ll put mine right here and now, with a little exegesis as a bonus.
I added “Free energy now!” with several others following Ulli’s lead. For me it has never been so much a slogan expressing a demonstration’s demands as a comment on what I am/we are doing right here and now. I see writing in itself as a free energy device. When I feel the urge to write a post, I start out with a very hazy idea of where I want to go with it. I work on it a bit and then (others may not agree :)) it will blossom out into something more interesting and elaborate than I expected. In other words, we are not waiting for free energy: it is the tool we are using right now to get where we want to be.

But it is not entirely free: you have to put your mind and soul to work, and run through the gears; nevertheless the output is much greater than the input.



This is precisely the message of my Byron quote, “love in this part of the world is no sinecure”: no free energy without a little effort. This is a message for the love-and-lighters who may think otherwise. Taken together, however, the quote and the slogan are a message for the anti-love-and-lighters, who are missing the other half of the mechanism: love and light as the energy that becomes free. Practise love and light, and they come back to you with interest. If you don’t understand that, then you haven’t been paying attention to how the banksters have been milking this principle while replacing love and light with love of money.

[gripreaper]

Sad news for you, grip ... shortly (a day or three, not sure when) your current signature, if it remains as it is, will be cleared out ... made empty.

It is sad news for me Paul. I’m having a really strong reaction to my signature line being removed. I apologize in advance to Ulli for bringing this to her thread, but this is how I feel right here and now. I know, that when something which appears innocuous causes such a reaction in me, that there is most likely something core within me which is subjective and the charge of the reaction may not be commiserate with the current trigger, but I digress.

All of my life I have faced restrictions, authorities who for one reason or another felt it was in my best interest to follow their prescribed protocols because I may be infringing upon another’s rights. In this case, apparently, there are people who are distracted by the signature lines and are unable to ignore the signature once they have read it, in subsequent posts I am posting.

Apparently there are so many complaints, that the owners of this forum and those who monitor the forum feel they need to restrict the length of the signature portion of each page, in order to make it more palatable to a larger audience? I’m not really sure and I suppose if I am so strongly opposed to this I should enter the discussion on the appropriate thread and plead my case. But I digress again.

Why is it that there seems to be no place anymore on this planet where someone doesn’t feel the need to steer the discourse as well as restrict the free flow thereof? Am I over reacting? Probably, but really, what harm does the signature line really pose?

We face rules, restrictions, fees, taxes, laws, and all manner of subjugation every day, and we discuss this at great length here. We have alien interlopers who have come to this planet and stolen our heritage and are using earth as an energetic loosh farm, and we are being forced to pay debt for our very existence. We are told: Do this, don’t do that, get vaccinated because it’s a public health issue and we need to bomb Iraq for our national interests and fight terrorist for our safety, and we need to add more rules in order to do so. We need to shred the Constitution and take your inalienable rights away, for the good of everyone of course. Why bring this kind of energy to a forum which is supposed to be open and free?

Do we say, well it is Bill’s forum so he can do whatever he wants with it, and if I don’t like it I can just go elsewhere or go put my signature line in my profile and add a link to it? Then we get into the whole ownership discussion, hierarchies, subjugation, polarities, the energy of divisiveness and all manner of duality. Is that what we really want?

I thought we were attempting to transcend the energy of ownership and subjugation. You may say I’m not being subjugated by removing my signature line, but it feels that way to me. Oh, I can have one; it just has to be 3 lines, 80 characters max. It makes me feel like I’m now “tweeting” and can only use 140 characters like on Twitter.

It’s the members who make up the energetic signature of this forum, even though Bill is the host. Do a quick search, go to the members tab and click on it, then go to the tab “join date” and click it twice. Look at who is on the first page, those who have been here since the start and are still here. Then click on “posts” and look at who is on the first page. Then collate the two searches and guess what, these members are the core of Avalon in my estimation.

Think about what makes Avalon what it is. Think about what you want it to be and the energy you want it to hold, and the like minded souls you want it to attract. The matrix is very unyielding about this one thing. What we emanate out into the matrix is what we attract, period. Like energy coalesces and returns and mirrors for you like experience. You get what you give.

Restricting the signature line is a big mistake in my estimation, not because it ruins the forum or makes it better; it’s the energy of it, in my humble opinion. I’m going to have to sleep on this and see how I feel tomorrow. Right now I feel like a caged bird.

I didn't know until the other day that you could disable all signatures in your personal settings. If this were more generally known, it would be a more flexible way of dealing with the irritation caused to some, without restricting the freedom of others. I may have had the opposite response to you, grip, but that doesn't mean I don't understand you or agree. I do, entirely.

No need to apologize, grip. This is what we are here for.
The fine line between an individual and their position in relation to the collective...
this cannot be discussed often enough.

My personal view is similar to the one you expressed here, and although I might object to some people's signatures which have flashing gifts, or otherwise objectionable images, (since I'm very visual by nature I would be sensitive to such...) a few extra lines of written text in my view do little harm.

I finally touched base with Tom Lescher, the Pele Report astrologer. After discovering that not only
was he a frequent visitor to Costa Rica, but actually lives here now, having married a (rather beautiful) Costa Rican in 2014.
And even more coincidentally, they live in San Pedro, a suburb of San Jose where I used to live and still own a house.
He promptly replied, and I am thrilled to have him as a friend.

Thank you, Grip for your heartfelt post. There have been several times that I have contemplated the information in your signature. Just recently it caused me to review the works of Carlin and Hicks. I never cease to marvel at the spiritual understanding each one was able to speak through the medium of comedy.

I will be sorry to see your signature go. Maybe they will reconsider.

In this case, apparently, there are people who are distracted by the signature lines and are unable to ignore the signature once they have read it, in subsequent posts I am posting.

Apparently there are so many complaints, that the owners of this forum and those who monitor the forum feel they need to restrict the length of the signature portion of each page, in order to make it more palatable to a larger audience? I’m not really sure and I suppose if I am so strongly opposed to this I should enter the discussion on the appropriate thread and plead my case. But I digress again.

Why is it that there seems to be no place anymore on this planet where someone doesn’t feel the need to steer the discourse as well as restrict the free flow thereof? Am I over reacting? Probably, but really, what harm does the signature line really pose?

We face rules, restrictions, fees, taxes, laws, and all manner of subjugation every day, and we discuss this at great length here. We have alien interlopers who have come to this planet and stolen our heritage and are using earth as an energetic loosh farm, and we are being forced to pay debt for our very existence. We are told: Do this, don’t do that, get vaccinated because it’s a public health issue and we need to bomb Iraq for our national interests and fight terrorist for our safety, and we need to add more rules in order to do so. We need to shred the Constitution and take your inalienable rights away, for the good of everyone of course. Why bring this kind of energy to a forum which is supposed to be open and free?

Do we say, well it is Bill’s forum so he can do whatever he wants with it, and if I don’t like it I can just go elsewhere or go put my signature line in my profile and add a link to it? Then we get into the whole ownership discussion, hierarchies, subjugation, polarities, the energy of divisiveness and all manner of duality. Is that what we really want?

I thought we were attempting to transcend the energy of ownership and subjugation. You may say I’m not being subjugated by removing my signature line, but it feels that way to me. Oh, I can have one; it just has to be 3 lines, 80 characters max. It makes me feel like I’m now “tweeting” and can only use 140 characters like on Twitter.

It’s the members who make up the energetic signature of this forum, even though Bill is the host. Do a quick search, go to the members tab and click on it, then go to the tab “join date” and click it twice. Look at who is on the first page, those who have been here since the start and are still here. Then click on “posts” and look at who is on the first page. Then collate the two searches and guess what, these members are the core of Avalon in my estimation.

Think about what makes Avalon what it is. Think about what you want it to be and the energy you want it to hold, and the like minded souls you want it to attract. The matrix is very unyielding about this one thing. What we emanate out into the matrix is what we attract, period. Like energy coalesces and returns and mirrors for you like experience. You get what you give.

Restricting the signature line is a big mistake in my estimation, not because it ruins the forum or makes it better; it’s the energy of it, in my humble opinion. I’m going to have to sleep on this and see how I feel tomorrow. Right now I feel like a caged bird.

Hi, Everyone —

* Bill takes his muddy boots off, and leaves Mara at the door *

I meant to reply to this yesterday, because it's important, and because I really do care. Certainly not intending to cage anyone. (And I would have replied yesterday, but was 'caged' here, too. My internet connection was down: apologies.)

I very much understand. This was not intended to be any kind of draconian measure. Let's continue to talk about it.

Personally, I don't have a signature, never had, and I find them distracting. So I have my view of them disabled (something which we've discovered it seems most members don't realize they can do!).

But what that also means is that I'm out of touch with the entire signature thing, as I never see them. That may mean that I wasn't well-informed enough to preside over a good decision.

The three-line criterion was arbitrary. (All the criteria were arbitrary! We had to draw lines somewhere, if we were going to draw any at all.) We felt we needed to limit the length, and also how distracting some were. (Flashy, many colors, large fonts, etc.) Over the years, we felt there had been a kind of 'signature-creep' going on, because we'd never talked about it at all.

The entire discussion only started because Carmody suggested that Selkie's (previous) signature was maybe a little hard-hitting. I'd never seen it, so I took a look. That then started the discussion, among the mods, started by myself, of what a signature should and shouldn't be, ideally, in the context of the community and its function and values.

Maybe a better way to have handled all this would have been to discuss it FIRST among us all... and then make a decision. It honestly never occurred to me (mea culpa) that anyone would be upset by this.

It just seemed like a practical issue... not only because of the distraction thing, but also because of the proliferation of small-screen mobile devices, where scrolling through a long thread can be a chore in itself, without all the extra text, repeated many times over.

I'm now wondering if this discussion (including grip's two important posts) should be copied to the signatures announcements thread (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?85672-A-change-to-forum-guidelines-about-members-signatures). Then the discussion can continue there without any muddy boots in the wrong place.

Personally, I'm totally happy to continue talking about this. I want to understand further. If it's important to grip, it's important to the mods and myself. (Not being mealy-mouthed... it really is. I was very concerned when I first read his feelings, but I've only been able to reply now.)

:waving: to all. :sun:






Edit to add: posted also here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?85672-A-change-to-forum-guidelines-about-members-signatures&p=1009040&viewfull=1#post1009040), where technical discussions/ questions/ answers about signatures might best belong.

Bill, you are the best. Your genuine humility shines and shows strength.

Here are my thoughts on it.
While I agree about taking this discussion to the relevant thread, where it really belongs,
I also wish to point out that this thread, the Here and Now Village community, serves a function
in that it can make people feel at home, and understood.
At least long enough until they are ready to take their issues out to "the world outside".
It's all good, especially this reporter below...

[Ernie Nemeth]

I agree with Grip on this one.

People go to great lengths to select their signatures, making sure it represents some essential aspect of their selves. Grip explained his nicely - it means a lot to him. Mine also is full of meaning. Not only what it says but what it represents to me. I have given all my poems to my family and especially my daughter. They are not well received. But my daughter chose this stanza out of all my many, many poems to make a wall plaque with it. My poetry should have been my livelihood, in another reality it would have been. If that selection of words were profound enough for my daughter to immortalize it, it should be good enough for this forum. I guess "Neither one holds meaning here" does not hold at this party. One of them obviously does...

This is the first it has sunk in that a stanza of poetry will also not be allowed. Poetry is quickly going the way of the Dodo and I don't like it one bit. But like Grip alluded to, I too will get over it, after all, it's what we do as we are constantly deprived of our rights- get over it, a little less free, a little less unique.

Ernie, I think it is important to read Bill's post, further up this thread.
The whole signature issue has not been finalized at all; in fact, Bill admitted that it should have been discussed with forum members, rather than just amongst the mods.

I suggest that we all give our personal opinions freely on the thread where this is still being worked out.

[Ernie Nemeth]

Sorry Ulli.

[ulli]

Sorry Ulli.

My turn to be sorry, Ernie. I didn't get the tone right, as your post was in no way something you had to apologize for.
It was perfectly cool, and you are not expected to know everything that happened here earlier.
But I wanted to let you know that the discussion is open, and that Bill and the mods would change the new rules if we all could get to an agreement.

Yes, beautiful poem. But I like it better as a four-liner.
I'm sure we can all come up with some brilliant four-liners
which the mod team won't be able to reject once they see the Villagers making a concerted effort.

[Lost N Found]

I have never had a signature although I do think about one. I must admit, I did not even know about signatures and did not know I could have something of that here. Grip did tell me about them awhile back but really did not come up with something. When I saw what was happening in this thread it confused me at first and then as I read further I began to understand.

When Grip gave his very heart felt definition of each line in his signature and what it really meant, I finally did understand. I have read these signatures under each post from folks and found them quite interesting for each person. I do not get distracted with them so never had an issue such as that. I now really understand and see these as an identifier, a knowing, an individual feeling, A complete communication from each individual seed of life in this village as Ulli so lovenly calls Avalon and all of us that are here and come here from time to time. What a wonderful home base for us that Bill has created. I see all that have and will have talking will Bill and the Mods about all of this. Just Look, Bill has a dear heart and did not know about your signatures. I look forward to the conversations that will ensue. Please proceed folks. To me this is another wonderful happening in the village. I get to learn something new daily.

Love you all

Just returned from an amazing journey through
Wales, a journey that felt there was
some sort of 'time' crossovers running
parallel with many happenings taking place,
in my life and others.

Walked the region of the Preseli stones.
Stonehenge is made up of preseli bluestone,
only found in Wales, and Welsh folk speak
very highly of its unusual qualities, such as its
grounding in nature /Gaia, when things are off-sync,
and the personal, revealing of ancient, ancestral truths,
for those that seek.
Inspiringly beautiful.

Welsh blessings for all you lovely people.

That was when I started to question the world around me righter after some emotional rollercoaster I had experienced. I read about that Blossom Goodchild prediction and it piqued my curiosity since I had always found ET's a bit fascinating. I wanted something like that to happen. When nothing happened, I just started to follow certain sites and topics and as they say, the rest is history.

One of Swedens most loved and wellknown troubadours Evert Taube now singing his songs on the other side...I "happened" to post this yesterday in WiteLove another Swedes thread...

The lyrics are about a grumpy farmer who repeats that war and politics has destroyed our earth... while a little girl named Karin runs through the flowering field showing him the beautiful summer she had promised him. Taube was an early environmentalist, anti war and wrote a homage to the women holding life during WW1

Reading this article on the demise of Indonesia....a true story comes to mind.
A former sister-in-law of mine had married into wealth, and her husband told me about five men he knew, who had made a bet one New Year's Eve party in Barbados.

Each had placed a one million pound cheque in the centre of the table, to be collected by the man who would make the most money the following year, when they would meet again, same place.
And the winner was a guy whose name I can't remember now. He had made 900,000 pounds that year.

So I asked my former brother-in-law, wow, how did he make that money? And the reply was that he had made it by playing with Indonesia's currency. And I remembered that there had been a massive devaluation there, that year. Could it be that this one guy was to blame? And I saw all that resulting poverty in a flash of an eye, and said, 'wow, I hope I don't get that guys' karma'.

I have been lucky enough to go on a trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the small charity that my Employers support. Despite boom conditions there, there is awful poverty, with people living on the street. Our Charity takes street kids and arranges guardians , schooling, feeding, uniforms etc where it can. Some of these kids live under plastic or in a corrugated iron box by the side of the road. Women caring for them are very vulnerable. I saw dead people on the streets. I saw a three year old stumbling over rubble, in rags, with a big smile coming to say hello. It is sad, but at the same time so uplifting to see the joy and gratitude when the kids get £6 and a plastic lunch box. For someone like me, conscious and spiritual, it is helping with break throughs and energetic transformation. I have been walking into a room and sensing that I need to stop and meditate there and then. the universe conspires to facilitate a quiet period for this.As I clear and
raise my energies, I have to re-formulate my place in my life, re-establish relationships, and integrate the dark side of the experience. That is the sadness and anger I sometimes feel at the horrors of this world. I suppose while going through that, it might not be helpful to listen to abominations like Hilary Clinton, but maybe that just the Pleiadian jumping in for total immersion. Feeling gratitude. God bless.

I have been walking into a room and sensing that I need to stop and meditate there and then. the universe conspires to facilitate a quiet period for this.As I clear and
raise my energies, I have to re-formulate my place in my life, re-establish relationships, and integrate the dark side of the experience. That is the sadness and anger I sometimes feel at the horrors of this world. I suppose while going through that, it might not be helpful to listen to abominations like Hilary Clinton, but maybe that just the Pleiadian jumping in for total immersion. Feeling gratitude. God bless.

It's been stuck in my head for the past 3 days, and it seems kind of fitting for the world you witnessed. Without the nightmare there is no contrast. It's all relative, and expansion of self requires contrasts. There is a fine line between dissolution and expansion.

I woke up before five AM, and put on warm clothes. Here in Costa Rica that means socks, long pants, long sleeved shirt, shoes instead of sandals.
And went for a walk around the bamboo area of our property, followed by our three cats. Decided to do this regularly, before getting glued to my tablet.
And also decided that it was time to switch from the anger and sadness I've been feeling, about the horrors of this world, as mentioned by baby steps. At least for a while...

Came back to the house and found this posted on my FB page, by a friend who also decided it was time for a change

Nurse to ancient couple:
The doctor says he needs a stool sample, a urine sample, and a sperm sample.
Old bloke to his wife: "What did she say?"
Wife to old bloke: "She says they want your underwear"

Cracked me up, and it started my day on a funny note.

Yesterday I was hypnotized for two hours at the Coliseum Theatre in Barcelona. Me and ten people altogether.
So funny. I danced like a neanthertal, gave birth to a child screaming in pain (the doll was black, and the mentalist asked my "husband" ....
-You two are "whites" .... how could this happen ?.
My "husband" looked at me very angry ... I said - I do not know ... Mendel's laws? I answered without thinking.

It was a real party with people we didn't know eachother.
We all work together. We were born together. We played together when we were five years old. We fight together against the beasts of millennia. All this in two hours.
So good!. Roller coaster:)

part of the connectivity of astrology.

where they say the first day after birth is 100% of a 'life' in it's affects on self's formation.

day two is 50% of an affect, it being now -a half.

day three, is at 33%

day 4 is at 25%,

That the whole world is a giant wheelworks that is felt and lived, and one has to learn the art of discrimination from the ground up, that it all gets in, and this is developed from wholeness into separateness.

To me, Ken O'Keefe often comes across as one of those voices that's both sober and impassioned. Grounded and inspired.

In this video he talks about activism and the growth of human consciousness, economics, and overcoming conditioning and corruption. The power of living our own truth.

Not light-hearted viewing, and likely not revelatory to many here, but perhaps heartening – if you're in the frame of mind for optimism with grit to it.

Looks like the current NWO agenda is gaining ground, with the Vatican representing the spiritual slice, London the material/ financial, and Washington DC the security.

But the idea of a more democratic system, that of a federated superstate, in which individual rights are still respected,
and regular elections are held in municipalities and nations all around the globe, as laid out in a plan brought by Baha'u'llah, is not widely known.

"The well-being of mankind, its peace and security, are unattainable unless and until its unity is firmly established."

And this quote is from 1985, the elected body of the Baha'i religion, called Universal House of Justice, or UHJ.

" The Great Peace towards which people of good will throughout the centuries have inclined their hearts, of which seers and poets for countless generations have expressed their vision, and for which from age to age the sacred scriptures of mankind have constantly held the promise, is now at long last within the reach of the nations. For the first time in history it is possible for everyone to view the entire planet, with all its myriad diversified peoples, in one perspective. World peace is not only possible but inevitable. It is the next stage in the evolution of this planet--in the words of one great thinker, "the planetization of mankind".

Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth. At this critical juncture when the intractable problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, failure to stem the tide of conflict and disorder would be unconscionably irresponsible."

Yes Sierra, that’s about right. You have the “Big Farmer” (pun intended) plains on the one hand, and the dairy/orchard area where the studfarms and other horses hang out. http://www.calvados-dupont.com/en/pays-auge-tourism.htm Not the same prices or availability. But there comes a time when adult children really have to move away. There are other areas, but that’s where she has her friends.

[Meggings]

I had horses, Araucaria, and scouted around for days and weeks and months to find the most inexpensive land I could find, on inhospitable land that I thought no one would be able to farm. We built a horse barn there and I commuted there and back twice a day, getting up before dark, getting home after dark, working in my office during the day. Then it turned out that corporate farming came in and leased the land all around me, and they work 24-hour days and sprayed "stuff" on the land to grow corn crops. All I can offer you and your daughter is "good luck" and hopes that you find suitable lodging for the horse(s).

A while back, I reported on our holiday that took us to St-Emilion and the next village, Montagne (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=1006563&viewfull=1#post1006563). [/URL]Today, near Puisseguin, the next village after that, on a narrow country lane a truck hit a coach of pensioners on an outing, which burst into flames, killing 43 people. The coach driver just had time to open the doors, saving 8 passengers. Nearly all the victims will be from the same small neighbouring village, so it’s like one community losing almost a whole generation of old folks, a huge tragedy for those concerned and many more besides.

"Carole" is obviously reading way too much for her own good, and this pupil is also too clever by half. She probably did an addition instead of a substraction as well.

I remember lessons like this. I don't think this has anything to do with common core math. There are exact answers, and there are reasonable answers, in which one does a quick general calculation. My guess is that this class was learning about rounding things up to the nearest zero or five.
I use this technique to this day, when trying to add up items I'm shopping, and don't want to get out a calculator. My husband who was raised in Costa Rica never learnt this, and still thinks he must include every penny when doing his additions, and places enormous importance on an exact answer.
Of course, both kinds of additions/subtractions are needed, but it depends on the larger context.
One is an estimate, the other aims for accuracy.
