Here and Now...What's Happening?

[TargeT]

A professional farrier decided to take his vacation on our island and will be flying in tonight, we put him up in a friends hotel (trade out, she gives us the room for 2 nights, we give her horse tours) & since he's going to be working on our horses all day Wednesday I guess I *HAVE* to take him out to my favorite restaurant tonight...

such a chore entertaining people.. this is exactly why I get almost no projects done around the .. uhh, ranch? farm?

Anyway, just a small example of how easy the "greymarket" is; barter your way to a better life!

Great idea. Maybe all these wild photoshops will get Monsanto to become more creative than mess with our foods.

Am in the dank office, with miserable chilcott Question time playing on my phone.It is so sad, but really I hope it wakes many up. UK should hang its head in shame.

This transmutation thing is great, & I think it makes stories about advanced civilisations coming here to mine Gold sound a bit silly!!

I am grateful that I get to listen to stuff while I work!

Better to be a Russian in Russia than having western cabal making us lose our Carmody in this America for doing the same.

carmody is right, the gold packing that we are told is happening from cabal or from Fulford is a ghost. No need for this, no more than Annunaki needed our gold to protect their atmosphere. This gold stuff is only for the untrained. The top of the top of 1% uses transmutation.

This also explains easy cloning and rejuvenating of the beings. Wonder why they would need the blood and fear creation..... to get eternal life.

Russian Team “Actinides” Announces Discovery of Industrial Biochemical Method of Elemental Transmutation (Press Conference and Press Release)
Posted on June 27, 2016 by Frank Acland • 89 Comments

I received an email today about a press conference that was held at the Swiss Press Club in Geneva on June 21, 2016 by a Russian Corporate Partnership called Actinedes consisting of inventors Viktor Kurashov and Tamara Sakhno, and the administrator Vladislav Karabanov.

The group’s website is http://bt-isotopes.com/

I will provide some transcription from the conference.

Vladislav Karabanov: Ladies and Gentlemen, Today, in Geneva we are making public a discovery and technology which, without any exaggeration, could be described as having historic significance. Now the essence of this discovery and technology boils down to the development of an industrial method for the transformation of chemical elements into other elements and their isotopes. What we have to show you today is a transmutation without any nuclear reactors, without heavy water or anything of the kind, to obtain a transmutation of elements. Our approach to the chemical transmutation of elements is biochemical in nature. It is still too early to grasp the economic and civilizational significance of this development and technology. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this discovery is a veritable revolution which is going to open a new chapter in the technological progress.

“Unlikely as it may sound, this is a fact. The architects of this discovery and technology are leading Russian Chemists, Mrs Tamara Sahno and Mr. Victor Kurashov. These are theoretical and experimental scientists who stand on the shoulders of a dynasty of researchers who have been instrumental in discovering these methods for the transformation of chemical methods. Mankind, represented by the authors, has discovered this method for the transmutation of matter which is likely to change the face of today’s world, perhaps as deeply as it was changed by the use of electricity, perhaps even deeper. The repercussions of this revolution will be felt in the energy sector, medicine, industry and perhaps would also open up new industries, brand new industries that will have enormous humanitarian implications.

“What is most important to bear in mind is that what we are talking about here is a ready-made industrial approach that will be capable of producing target products in industrial quantities in a matter of months. With respect to the economic aspects of this discovery I am going to brief you about that later . . .

Victor Kurashov: “Ladies and gentlemen, our work to develop the technology for the transmutation of chemical elements goes back to the early 90s. The very first results were obtained back in 1998, but the bulk of this effort and research, as well as hundreds of successful experiments fall on the Summer and Autumn of 2013. Our further efforts involved patenting this work, and so for all these reasons we haven’t rushed to publish our findings until the patent was issued. We received the patent priority on the 15th of May 2014, whereas the patent itself was issued on the 25th of August 2015.

“Let’s move onto the process itself very briefly. The first component used in the process is ore, or nuclear waste. The second component of the process are valuable valency metals such as vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, and others. Either of these will do, but we tend to use iron as the least costly element. The third component and a factor in this process, these are bacteria. Usually we use iron and sulphur-reducing bacterial species which we select along a certain list of criteria, such as that the bacteria are active, that they are resistant to radiation, that they are adapted to a heavily salted solution — ore, suspended in water.

“Now about the technology itself: ore, or nuclear waste (there’s no difference) is processed by bacteria in the presence of valuable valency elements in any closed vessel. The transmutation process kicks off immediately, and proceed stage by stage for two or three weeks until target elements are obtained. But if it is not stopped on time, this process would carry on until stable isotopes are obtained as the end product.”

That’s as far as my transcription goes for now. The full video, in English and Russian is below.

I find this interesting. I have not yet found the patents referred to (harder to do in Russian), but the process here does not sound too complicated, and I imagine as word gets out there could interest among researchers to try and replicate the results.

Dr Rossi's E-cat transmutes hydrogen and nickle into copper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_Catalyzer) to produce excess heat by way of a pure Paladium catalyst...

Right now I've only seen very very specific forms of transmutation, but the fact that it is possible certainly seems worthy of further exploration.


Anyway, I just posted this to clarify.. it's not "transmutation" it's "very specific transmutation"

A comment under another Stevie vid on youtube made me laugh. Someone said they weren’t sure they could trust a person who didn’t like Stevie Wonder’s music. Think I agree :biggrin:

As for the transmutation, it essentially means that the precious metals market exists only for low level players. And it's been that way for about 40 years, for sure.

I expect that the surety of gold creation, in US black ops... probably coincided with the time that the US went off the gold standard. That the anchor for the currency was found to be no anchor of any sort.

With that, as closely held information, the USA could go full front on a war footing against all the world's currencies, with no worries or issues, as they knew the gold standard meant absolutely nothing - from that point on.

And that the current game is a bilking game of some sort.

And now, everyone is going to know it.

Like I've been saying over and over again for the past 3-4 years.

If the Chinese government tries to go to a gold backed currency basket where they are in charge, then pull (out) the card of killing the value of the gold -into a nothing (worthless) category. Or if the game of paper manipulation of the silver market shows the hand of jp morgan and Deutschebank having bilked the market out of untold billions, and then the Chinese day traders start to pump up the silver market to destabilize the goldman/jp/deutchebank silver game...then destabilize the whole thing via showing that silver can be very likely be manufactured, period.

That the precious metals market is a fabrication built on fluff, fluff that the unaware were and are standing on. such a move does not kill the world, it opens the world -while wiping out the players.

The European Union is weighing whether to classify its artificially intelligent robotic workers as “electronic persons,” a designation that would grant them certain rights and obligations under the law, such as taxation and legal liability. What do you think?

It reminds me of a leprechaun joke:

Paddy was walking' 'cross the moors at dusk one eve and happened upon catching a wisened but spry leprechaun. The leprechaun says. "Oh, you've caught me Paddy. Now you got t'ree wishes, be wise, Paddy, be wise." Paddy grins and thinks about, and says, "I'll take a pint of stout, a never ending pint of stout so when I drain it, it fills right back up to the top!" The lerepchaun says done, and POOF! Paddy finds in his hand a cold tall pint of stout. He drinks it down, the glass fills back with a fine head, and down it goes, too. The leprechaun cautiously adds, "Now, slow down, Paddy, you got two more wishes." Paddy scratches his chin and thinks about it for a moment before replying, "I'll take two more just like it!"

The whole world is totally out of control, which is very bad news for the controllers among us, who particularly hate conspiracy theories. Why? Because they are true? No, precisely because they cover every possible shade of wildly, uncontrollably creative. They would like us to be scared, but are greeted with hilarity. And the laughter is even more infectious than the fear.

Ive always had an innate fear of gas stations. It dates back to the very first time I put gas in a vehicle. For some reason I was terribly nervous. Back then, at this station anyway, you could pump first and pay after. So thats what I did.. pumped in $5 ( I had very little cash as a 17 yr old ) ..and then approached the man inside the mini mart to pay. Ive never forgotten what he said after I handed him the bill, which was this: "goin on vacation boss?"

He and 2 of his pals laughed casually. I was too dumb and green to understand I was being made fun of, but I laughed too, mostly out of nervousness. But this wasn't the end of my humiliation...

After the transaction had taken place I just stood there like a statue, I think expecting change. The guy looked a bit confused and asked if there was anything else I needed. "My change" I said meekly. He said "you pumped $5 worth of gas." "Yes" I said. And he said "you just gave me $5..."

I stood there frozen, unable to make any sense of the obvious. Then, as if on cue, one of his pals said "so give the kid his change!" They all laughed uproariously. Me, I walked outta there slowly...still unsure of what had just happened.

I was officially traumitized:)

So this brings me up to the present. Ive always liked to pretend gas isnt a real expense...so ive continued my habit of pumping in relatively small amounts. Its a process that only hurts me, but I find it cunning.

...so today I go to put $5 of gas in my car (i'm out of work and more or less broke). I approach the attendant and hand him the dough and the guy says to me: "goin on vacation boss?"

..here I am, almost 25 years later, still with less than $10 in my pocket and having other grown men call me "boss". And I still get a little nervous when I pay for gas. I havent come very far. To add insult to injury, I actually had a nicer car back then.

"So give the kid his change!" Ive been driving around all day thinking about this quote, in my decade old car with the broken air conditioning, sweating profusely and laughing my ass off...watching in horror as my gas gauge sinks slowly left..feeling around my pockets for any loose bills I may have forgotten about. This occured to me too: i'm virtually unhireable. Ive been off the books for years...ive either worked for myself or done something under the table. I'm like an antiquated cowboy..running out of places to run and hide. The world has changed - one quick google search will quickly reveal that all my former "jobs" are made up bullsh!t, that my references are nonsense...

"Goin on vacation boss?"..maybe i'm a little punchy from the stress and the heat, but I can't stop laughing at that:ROFL:

Anyway, just a small example of how easy the "greymarket" is; barter your way to a better life!


I went home at lunch and he's almost done.. he reshaped & cleaned up 21 horses (plus one donkey, that's 88 feet!) in 5 hours. Not bad at all (I'm sure my wife gave him zero breaks... haha)


we'll have to take him out to another dinner tonight again.... gotta butter him up to make sure he'll come back later and do it again (though he's already said he would) :)

We have a dog-pig (normal "pig" that thinks she's a dog since she was raised with them) that runs around our yard, we had to lock her in the house because she wouldn't leave him alone while he was working with the horses... then she got her head stuck in the metal gates on our front door while I was home at lunch... its crazy how loud pigs can get; I'm sure we left at least SOME sort of impression on him just from that.

The guy who's doing our Fairer work was in a similar situation. His last unemployment ckeck ran out and he looked around at his surroundings and realized there were a LOT of horses around him; took a class for horse foot care and he's been his own employer for the last 5 years.


Take a look around, maybe there's a need that you can fill ;)

[Mike]

Hey TargeT, now you know why I favor the basic income!:). Yes, some selfish motivation there...I.confess

Oddly enough, there are horses everywhere here in central NY as well. Horse foot care, eh? I'm going to look into that right now. Seriously. Thx for the tip.

he said he loves it, makes his own hours and regularly takes trips down the Caribbean, which he wasn't able to do before... see if there are any farriers advertising in your area and maybe stop and ask a horse owner who does their shoe work.. it's a constantly needed thing & if you get good at it you can correct issues with gait and all other things; plus market your self right in the "better areas" of NY and you'll make INSANE $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Did you know there are horse CHIROPRACTORS? yeah I was shocked too... but we had one come down and adjust some of our horses (she was here on vacation already).

Horses aren't cheap to own, not everyone who does has money but a L O T do.

[ulli]

System change is happening. Dual processes are at work, those of disintegration, and the formation of new communities.
I guess we all can agree here that bloddy revolutions don't work. Nor does Dennis advocate such.
But he does say to remove all members of the elite from power.
How is that going to happen if they are the ones controlling the biggest guns?

The Bahai Faith was the 19th century equivalent of the Reset Button Movement, and Baha'is were forming small communities in as many countries as possible, no clergy allowed, with the aim of later forming enough National Spiritual Assemblies to be able to hold the first election of the International administrative body, The Universal House of Justice.
It was first elected in 1963, in London. It's seat is on Mount Carmel in Haifa, Israel. Elections are via secret ballot, and anyone over 21 years of age can vote. Should vote. A brilliant system, to replace the current sets of governing systems.
Introduced in Iran, in the form of religious revelation.

So why did I drop out? Same reason why I won't try and set up a Reset Button movement here in Costa Rica...
Not that it isnt needed.

But none of this will work until a completely new set of humanity has come about.
Where all individuals are caring enough to take part in community life, without leading some sort of secret double existence.
To get to that level will take a little longer, Im afraid.
Lots and lots of local meetings, with meditation sessions and potlucks and dance, even.

To suggest that only the elite is corrupt, and all others are innocent, as we often see implied here at Avalon, is naive.
I admit that the effects of elite corruption is more widespread, as they hold more power over the masses, via media deception games, police brutality, and distraction games, but I would not want to see some animal torturing kid nor plastic surgery obsessed female replacing anyone in Washington overnight.
Ulli, playing the waiting game.

This picture sums up what I feel about the elite's surveillance of us isolated individuals.
Even the horizontal position of the guy on the bed speaks volumes.

I had a RE-mind that it’s within and it’s what I put in, i.e, food, movement and beliefs.

Too, I made a decision to stop buying into the alt-community drama. It programs. I follow some to keep abreast. I don’t loose sleep over the things I cannot change. That’s the best way I help humanity.

I RE-membered I alway land on my feet because I follow through with the creative flashes no matter how crazy to the outside world.

The world has changed - one quick google search will quickly reveal that all my former "jobs" are made up bullsh!t, that my references are nonsense...

"Goin on vacation boss?"..maybe i'm a little punchy from the stress and the heat, but I can't stop laughing at that:ROFL:

Pluto square is a real run down....

As for horses, they can be like 1200lb wallflowers, so I hope you can keep them calm. It usually takes some time to develop the correct mentality to be around many different horses.

~~~~~~~~~

Of course, my experiences involved being around a trained wildcat, essentially. A western riding champion horse. Like a retired prizefighter spiraling out of control, with none of his old boundaries and workouts to bleed off the energy. Probably the toughest first horse to possibly deal with (the most wrong first horse you could ever arrive at), but I had no idea of that at the time. His idea of a normal day was to lock'n'load.... and go out there... and beat the crap out of the world --with all the dials turned to 11.

My life tends to be like that, in everything.

Interestingly enough, approximately 150-200 years ago I would have more likely seen it as being given the gift of the best damn biological car in the frikin' universe, one so awesome that money could not buy it, as they came in lots of custom built singles. Single unit unique perfections of the highest order. Like dealing with an Arabian sheik with a stable of 500-1000 horses...and he comes up to you and says, 'this is my finest horse', and he gifts it to you.

To suggest that only the elite is corrupt, and all others are innocent, as we often see implied here at Avalon, is naive.
I admit that the effects of elite corruption is more widespread, as they hold more power over the masses, via media deception games, police brutality, and distraction games, but I would not want to see some animal torturing kid nor plastic surgery obsessed female replacing anyone in Washington overnight.

That brings up the topic of, first, how to "trap" such individuals long enough for rehabilitation and, second how to rehabilitate such? (keeping in mind that these individuals consider it is "humans" who are in need of being rehabilitated into bloodsucking creatures...)

For the non-jailable ones (departed, discarnated, out of body), it seems some "ETs" have mastered such art of trapping/abducting free floating beings and submit them to their brand of "rehabilitation"/mind control. From statistics, it seems that most "humans" are most unhappy with such enforced programming and a true, effective and efficient deprogramming method is still in dire need of discovery and implementation...

So: How to deprogram a programmed individual without resorting to another, additional, enforced programming?

Not an easy question to solve on a planet where "life" as it is expressed in living organisms is built around a "digestive system" of one sort or another and which is designed to promote the survival of its particular brand of "digestion" (AKA "Food Chains").

Time to get up and be well, letting our own body do the healing, the way it was designed.
I mentioned back June 30th (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=1078213&viewfull=1#post1078213) some of the things I tossed such as alternative healing apparatus. I had a RE-mind that it’s within and it’s what I put in, i.e, food, movement and beliefs.

Too, I made a decision to stop buying into the alt-community drama. It programs. I follow some to keep abreast. I don’t loose sleep over the things I cannot change. That’s the best way I help humanity.

I RE-membered I alway land on my feet because I follow through with the creative flashes no matter how crazy to the outside world.

Still tossing out stuff since that June 30th post. http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/bliss_zpstdsixjgz.GIF


lots of “I’s up there
http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/Calthinkingbubble2_zpsfwnfabgg.GIF


"Lots of Is up there, means you are on the right track. To me, anyway.

The right track means you know how to speak for yourself.
Sure, sometimes it is appropriate to say "we", but in the alt community it is too often overdone. Also this is what is wrong with the various New Age philosophies.

The hardest part to get people to understand is that 'we' (humanity) are moving to a common identity WITHOUT giving up our individual identity.

The human body serves as a good metaphor, with its trillion cells, each one fulfilling specific functions. If all those cells started speaking as a whole, or on behalf of the whole, the body would turn into mush, or jello.

Or simpler still, the tree, with its trunk, branches, twigs, leaves, blossoms, fruits, seeds.
One tree, yet separate parts, all connected.

Thank you Paula, I shall correct the link in my first post. :)

It was an attempt at humor of course, but after watching the Tour de France for about 35 years, it was quite surreal to see the yellow jersey, running up the mountain. :P
Especially since we did not see what happened leading up to the running (the accident that caused him to loose the bike).

It kind of fits in my overall impression of what is happening in the world lately. ..... Surreal.

My answer to this is to teach all kids the Golden Rule, and also the idea of Common Sense.
And by teachers I mean parents, school teachers, neighbors, extended family members.
Because at the core those two teachings allow for both- individual development progressing alongside community development.
BOTH.

The desire for freedom has meant that societal elements which wish to entrap people are working overtime, and by using people's ignorance of how their own body/mind/soul combo works, are being rather successful.

As long as people remain stuck in the belief that their lower instincts are their the dominant driver, their real identity, and carry on with that path, and disregard morality as being a construct of the religious teachings which they are rejecting, the future of mankind looks rather grim.

Mini Flash and I are not feeling good. Our 13 years old cat, Noirette, is dying (a small female) - she is Mini Flash's cat mainly. I took her 13 1/2 years ago as a companion for my daughter. Mini could not make friends at the time because of her impediments (language, motor skills, etc). So she was giving comfort and joy to my daughter. She truly fullfilled her mission with honors.

We will have to have our Noirette euthanisized before she suffers too much.

The worst part of it for now is that this is life, literally.

How very sad, letting a pet go. My last cat to die on us, Gatsby, could not be euthanized as it was right between the Christmas and New Year holidays and we could not find a vet.
Seeing his final stages of suffering broke my heart.
He died in my arms, and to this day I miss him.
Died New Years Day, 2011, age 17.
Right after that I became active on Avalon...and a new era began in my life.

Horses aren't cheap to own
Tell me about it. Canaries cheep, horses neigh :)
Shetland poneys, on the other hand: outside of Shetland, where they eat rock, you have to starve them to avoid feeding them to death. Rather like the predators in Hervé’s food chain. Wolves need to be relatively small in number, and lean and hungry. When predator numbers increase, prey numbers drop and so predator numbers drop, and so on, with both populations oscillating around a mean value.

Humans are predators, who manage to maintain population growth through being omnivorous predators. Fish stocks can drop but their predators keep growing by eating something else. The next non-natural phenomenon was farming: predation levels soared without prey numbers dropping. This was done by treachery: a good shepherd as the false friend of his flock, a wolf in sheep’s clothing tending them before turning on them. The next stage in all-out predation was cannibalism: sheep-wolves in sheep’s clothing, humans preying on each other. They have been basically farming the rest of us, and so far have similarly thrived.

From this picture some lines of action emerge towards curbing this process. Speciation: we have two populations, not one. Inasmuch as psychopathy is genetically marked, screen out the psychopaths from their predatory activities. Epidemic control: since there is an infectious component, i.e. psychopathic behaviour coming from non-psychopaths, this is a health issue that needs to addressed, somewhere between medicine, mental health and criminality. And we need to curb the predatory instincts that affect all of us in every area. Monsanto GMO farming is just the most egregious example of predation being applied to growing carrots. And all these measures of course require a better informed population. The herd instinct with safety in numbers for weaker members protected by the stronger elements, has been lost since man is no longer much a prey to lions and other wild animals. With the enemy within its midst, this method is in any case useless without every individual being acutely aware of the danger and taking steps to avoid it.

An individual animal when pestered by parasitic insects will take them where they cannot follow, instinctively wading into a river or rolling about in the mud. Humans have their own cultural measures: mosquito nets, various preparations etc. Identifying a threat along with its modus operandi is half the battle. It helps to know that mosquito nets won’t cure a problem coming from a soiled water supply just as it helps to know that snake oil can be an effective liniment but only a magical panacea. I think an effective cure is being found right now, and notably right here on this forum as more and more people are becoming inured. Why is vaccination decried so much these days? Possibly, and counter-intuitively, because the principle actually works: a small dose, or even maybe a not so small dose of an ill can inoculate one, not only physically (once bitten twice shy) but also spiritually: we learn to avoid bad influences and show others; it all comes down to education – a vaccine educates the immune system to recognize and reject a threat. Which is also why we are being dumbed down instead of smartened up. We have all the answers, and it is all being done. We just need a little patience. The early days of vaccination can be painful. But the first thing that is needed is acceptance of vaccination per se as being efficacious. Vaccination per se does not and has never been alleged to cause autism: the alleged culprit is thiomersal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal_controversy). In the spiritual version of vaccination, there is no such side-effect, and the only risk is not shaking off the infection to which we have all been exposed anyway.

This is one way of presenting communications, or the lack thereof. My example of reactions to Cameron humming was exactly the opposite, creative expansion that goes like this:
I think relatively little.
I have more words than thoughts.
My words always say more than I bargained for.
People always understand more than I say. Creative (mis)interpretation.

Hey Carmody, did you work with horses in any offical capacity? If so, what was your role? Just curious.

No official capacity except that my dad decided that we had to become farming types as that was his origins. Hauled from cityscapes into the backwood origins (moved from backwoods at age 1 year, approx), at the age of 9-10. Then, shortly thereafter, a horse breeding, training and housing (big rental facilities) relative.... dumped off a horse that recently retired -- and was difficult to deal with.

We suddenly had a horse to deal with. Me, from zero horse knowledge to 120%....dealing with the most difficult horse type/mentality to ever set hoof on the planet. So no, no official capacity... just a quiet kid who was not interested in such, at all (except vestigially), and then thrown in a hole and set on fire, via someone else's created circumstance.

I've had this occur so many times that I'm now pretty good at running around in a hole, where I've been set on fire.

Sounds like me, from city to backwood, just a bit younger in age. Surrounded by farmers - my dad thought the air would be purer - if he would had known about farmer's pesticides, in the sixties farmer's DDT, that we have been spread on.

Thrown in a hole and set on fire, this is exactly how it felt like! And then running around in the hole - thanks the heavens we had books, which most neighboors did not.

But worst, the hole was between a known UFO hotspot and a small military airport (Carmody, I know you know about the surroundings I am talking about). It may have had an influence on why I am on this forum, who knows.

Carmody, I never thought I would ever think there were life circumstances that we had had that were similar. Apart from French Canadian mothers.

But no horses around for me, although I always wanted to have one.

Many thanks Sierra for your empathy. Noirette went yesterday afternoon at 17h30. Mini Flash is just truly heart broken, me a bit less, i must have seen too many, humans and animals, pass away.

I will have the week end around my daughter, at least when she is back from work, she requested it. I love Mini Flash, my daughter for those who do not know, sooooooooo much, she is such an incredibly good being. Filled with love for all and intuition (she presently work with heavy autistic people, those who stare at walls and go into fits screaming for hours or throwing themselves on the floor, pitching stuff and can't even go to the toilet by themselves- very tough, I ask her how come she likes doing this work and the answer was "because I love them" - just tells you how she is at only 19).

Trained his entire life for it and then...left in a stall....or running wild in the fields. That horse wanted to break **** so bad (a normal day in the office for him), you could feel it pouring off him, all the time. If he thought you did not deserve to be on his back, he'd just get rid of you in a second. Or he'd head for the trees and wipe you off. Or squeeze you against the wall of the stall. And more. Like George Stark, a real 'high toned son of a bitch'.

at least quarter horses aren't delicate as well as highstrung.. haha Thoroughbreds are all that plus apparently as fragile as a flower & get injured if you look at them wrong.

My favorite are the ones that walk up to a tree, then back in circles around it hugging the trunk (trying to get the low branches to knock you off)... they sure are smart when they put their minds to it.. haha

Filled with love for all and intuition (she presently work with heavy autistic people, those who stare at walls and go into fits screaming for hours or throwing themselves on the floor, pitching stuff and can't even go to the toilet by themselves- very tough, I ask her how come she likes doing this work and the answer was "because I love them" - just tells you how she is at only 19).

“I cannot be part of a world where men dress their wives as prostitutes by showing everything that should be cherished. Where there is no concept of honor and dignity, and one can only rely on those when they say “I promise” .

Where women do not want children, and men don’t want a family.

Where the suckers believe themselves to be successful behind the wheel of their fathers` cars, and a father who has a little bit of power is trying to prove to you that you’re a nobody.

Where people falsely declare that they believe in God with a shot of alcohol in their hand, and the lack of any understanding of their religion.

Where the concept of jealousy is considered shameful, and modesty is a disadvantage.

Where people forgot about love, but are simply looking for the best partner.

Where people repair every rustle of their car, not sparing any money or time, and themselves, they look so poor that only an expensive car can hide it.

Where the boys waste their parents money in nightclubs, aping under the primitive sounds, and girls fall in love with them for this.

Where men and women are no longer identifiable and where all this together is called freedom of choice, but for those who choose a different path-get branded as retarded despots.

I choose my path, but it’s a pity that I did not find similar understanding in the people among whom I wished to find it most of all … “

Just went to see the movie "Our kind of traitor"

It is a story about Russian mafia corruption the British government and having the help of the London bankers to do so, where billiions of Pounds are involved, and where blood does not matter as long as money is involved.

What I liked is that it gave a brief resume of how politicians are being corrupted and bankers are backing all of it, including dealing with any mafia that would bring enough money. For the layman (we have seen much more on this forum), but yet, it is made public.

Feeling greatful for my loving family. Happy my brain has finally rested from my week of work. Wood fire cranking, ceiling fan on low. Lights are omitting a warm yellow glow.

1) When I search this quote it is attached to strange sites (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=I+choose+my+path,+but+it%E2%80%99s+a+pity+that+I+did+not+find+similar+understanding+in+the+people+ among+whom+I+wished+to+find+it+most+of+all+%E2%80%A6&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8).
2) The only video uploaded on Sept., 2015, is one where they’ve used Keanu Reeves’ interview from Feb., 2015. Clips are inserted. His conversation is turned off and a person reads what Keanu Reeves supposedly said. Both videos added below.
3) And the person that uploaded the video, his/her YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLJWDC-V5MZ0nYXHsCbnRsw) has few but 'strange videos'.


UPDATE: One other point of mine from that thread:

http://www.lifecoachcode.com/2016/02/28/keanu-reeves-powerful-message-that-shook-the-world/ .. is where the quote was posted feb 28, 2016

Facebook or twitter i think

RunningDeer's response: From the link you provided there was a link to supposedly his Facebook page.

IMO: the link to the Facebook page doesn’t fit how Keanu Reeves would sign up on Facebook, i.e. “keanu.reeves.the.actor”. Also, at the end of the link it says “theater”. One last point, his ego does not seem to run him like other actors. More than likely a fan set up the site.

Wow, good research, Paula. And I'm certain it is true.
What is weird is that someone would script this, and then pin it on Keanu Reeves. Why?

Also found on the web recently, that Snopes.com itself has been debunked as having an agenda.
What does one make of that?

[ulli]

Astrologer Michael Lutin wrote this for Vanity Fair in 2007.
I can recommend reading the whole article, especially if you want to learn more about Pluto.

"Pluto in Capricorn is going to change America from the inside out, threaten our very existence, challenge our economy, and divide the country politically. The government is going to be so paranoid during those years that it doesn't really matter who gets in in 2008.

Pluto in Capricorn means the ascendance into overt power of corporations in relation to the government. But that situation will change when Pluto enters Aquarius, at the end of the 2020s."

And another spot-on quote:
"If you think that things are tough now, and that privacy and other personal liberties are being infringed upon, just wait. During the next 19 years, things are going to get much tighter. Controls and laws will become more stringent. Pluto in Capricorn will demand conformity, born out of fear that different is dangerous. The more resistance to government protection, the more protection the government will try to provide. The words "patriot" and "treason" will lose their meaning, and in some cases they will become interchangeable. What is treason to one person will be patriotism to another—just as it was back in the 1760s and 70s. The country's mood will become darker and much more conservative. It's not going to be a matter of Democrat or Republican anymore, because the new ideologies will bleed across party lines."

http://holographicarchetypes.weebly.com/wetiko.html

Paul Levy illuminates the hidden source of the soul-devastating Pump & Dump economy.
MALIGNANT EGOPHRENIA: Instead of focusing on isolated objects and events, we can expand our fixed perspective and allow the deeper process (often taking the form of a mythic narrative of some sort) that is animating events to reveal itself. Instead of superimposing our limiting ideas and beliefs onto the waking dream, we can allow life to reveal its dream-like nature to us.

Once I began to notice the deeper pattern that was emerging, it became clear that people routinely got hooked through their unconscious blind spots and acted as unwitting conduits and agents of obfuscation through which the nonlocal disease could replicate itself. Everyone, to the extent we are not fully awakened, is unwittingly protecting the abuser in their own way, as well as protecting themselves.

At the same time, all of us, when seen together, are being in-formed by and are potentially revealing a deeper pattern of unconscious, human behavior that is always operating in the shadows of the human psyche. We all instinctively assume certain poses and postures relative to each other, like aspects of a deeper, fluidly, shape-shifting emerging process that is revealing itself through our energetic inter-changes.

Our transactions are an externalized reflection of the same shadow dynamics taking place within and between the different parts of our own psyche. From the dreaming point of view─which sees the seemingly outer, objective world as a dream which is speaking in symbols reflecting something within the subject, i.e., ourselves─the dynamic of ‘protecting the abuser’ is an expression of the aspect of ourselves that is hiding from the light and resisting the growth of consciousness. This is the part of us that is complicit with and participating in our own abuse. It is a reflection of the aspect of ourselves that is keeping us in the dark about what we are doing to ourselves.

This book is meant to contribute to the critically important effort of blowing the cover off of this nonlocal protection racket. Hidden in the evil of wétiko is its own medicine. Encoded in the darkness is the revelation of the light. Seeing darkness is a form of illumination. Like C. G. Jung, the great doctor of the soul reminds us, we become enlightened by making the darkness conscious.

Protecting the abuser, though seemingly in the service of the powers of darkness, is, paradoxically, at the same time, potentially revealing the darkness, and hence, ultimately an expression of the light. It is as if the light needs the darkness in order to reveal itself, for not only is the darkness revealed through the light, but the light is revealing itself through the darkness.

Seeing how the field nonlocally protects the abuser is a doorway through which we are introduced to the underlying unified and unifying field of consciousness where light and darkness are both expressions of a single non-dual sentient presence. Seeing the field-like aspect of protecting the abuser is to see the field in its nonlocal glory, which is to be in a glorified, i.e., more lucid state ourselves.

Seeing the field in its nonlinear and nonlocal dis-play magically empowers us with the visionary tools we need in order to navigate safely through to the other side of our experience, from a world of seemingly meaningless, random, separate material events to a world in which life is infused with meaning and we are fully rooted in our seamless connectedness with the biosphere, each other, and within ourselves.

Seeing the field─a place where we are all inter-connected─is the portal through which we plug into the living plenum, the infinite reservoir of zero-point energy that fills all of the space in the universe. This is the place of leverage, our point of power where we can co-operatively help each other to step into the dream and put our lucidityx together as one so as to intervene and creatively transform the waking dream in a way that changes everything. -- Paul Levy

We tend to, in the mundane sense, see and feel the flow of the universe like a stream of life that is impeding our motion. Stifling our motion.

Yet, when we hold still, to still ourselves..... and allow it's flow to be witnessed in that stillness.... we find it to be the opposite. Where that which we fought against and worked to overcome, was the signposts and motions of the correct and actual flow.

That our ego view steered us wrongly. Into wrongheaded anit-flow, anti-reality.

Yep, and when that happens it is time to integrate opposites, find the midpoint, enjoy the stillness, and move to the next level.

My wife came across this today. I have always been intrigued by the Huichol in Mexico, and was lucky enough to visit the sacred mountains in Real de Catorce, and my spirit guide is the deer, a la Wirikuta. Anyhow, she showed me this Huichol art depicting an alleged birthing practice of theirs. I found this cited online, appears to be true. Here's an excerpt from a book by Kathleen Berrin, http://hoaxes.org/weblog/permalink/huichol_labor_pain_relief/

How The Husband Assists in the Birth of a Child:
According to the Huichol tradition, when a woman had her first child the husband squatted in the rafters of the house, or in the branches of a tree, directly above her, with ropes attached to his scrotum. As she went into labor pain, the wife pulled vigorously on the ropes, so that her husband shared in the painful, but ultimately joyous, experience of childbirth. (Berrin 1978: 162)

My wife advanced her natural birthing knowledge and skills with each child we have had, and continues to do so through La Leche League, IDCLC, etc. Glad we are done with having children as I might have been up in the rafters for the next one!

[ulli]

We planted a mango tree last year, in front of our kitchen window. It is now about 7 feet tall, but still a baby tree.
And in there we found a tiny nest, with two eggs, at eye level.
And since yesterday there are two baby hummingbirds in our baby mango tree:

As she went into labor pain, the wife pulled vigorously on the ropes, so that her husband shared in the painful, but ultimately joyous, experience of childbirth. Sounds more like an early form of birth control. One child per family.

Woke up this morning with a sentence in my head.


We exist in buair

Of course I thought and I quote "What the hell is buair? I’ve never heard the word?"

So a quick search leads to buaireamh, as buair is the verbal noun of buaireamh!

So the words in my head meant

We live in sorrow, vexation.

Ok....thanks I think?

A quick push leads to the word sth.
Which moving forwards links to the human gene STH.
Which links to Saitohin.
Which can then be linked to a loss of.......and I quote

a lack of emotions and not recognizing the needs of others in the family.

But then I am cherry picking!

Most means not all. There are alternative paths.
The problem is that people stop seeking, and become addicted to the status quo of their desperation.
And there is no shortage of voices who tell them that there is nothing worth seeking.

Thats quite a quote....thank you

I haven’t stopped seeking but I am within non change as I find this place so very saddening. There is nothing here which I want.
No, stop, I will not leave by my own hand....there must be a reasonable explanation for my being within this.

So Ulli if you could assist.......what is a alternative path in a place of
terra?

More importantly....how is your friends son?

You say your quest is about discovering purpose, a reasonable explanation for being here, or finding an alternative path in the place of terra.
So basically you are looking for what this place has to offer YOU,
rather than if it has needs that you can address.
Like a fireman who is inside a burning house, with a firehose in his hand, yet can't remember WTF he is doing there.

To me this shows that you have yet to find your own creative drive,
which really only seeks a blank slate on which to start wielding the pen.

So, is there any activity other than putting things into your body, that you enjoy?
Because if there isn't I'm afraid you are on your own.

Last I heard about friend's son is that he is in a coma.
Probably was looking for another place, and not accepting his surroundings.

I feel you have me completely wrong. There is only a selfish need in this place but that depends on exactly where you think you are, would it not? To me....my feelings, my selflessness, my empathy, tell me that this 'place' is wrong. To give anything to this 'place of thought' only assists to create more harm for others trapped here.

To me this shows that you have yet to find your own creative drive,
which really only seeks a blank slate on which to start wielding the pen.

I have experience and also knowledge of my creational 'drive', having found that I require limitation of my thoughts so as to limit unintended action within this limitation.


So, is there any activity other than putting things into your body, that you enjoy?
Because if there isn't I'm afraid you are on your own.

If you perceive that I 'enjoy' the concept of a body and therefore it's functions or addictions....you are incorrect. I do not.
There is nothing except the feeling that I have assisted or helped which has any meaning whether that is by word, deed or thought.

So I take it that I am on my own....and that was always fine.

My impression is that you are depressed, and in that you are not alone.
But with time this will pass, and there will be moments again where it all feels like one's efforts are worthwhile.
This place feels wrong to you probably because there are processes at work that are akin to a total rebirth, and you may be only seeing the destruction side of those processes.
I live in a developing country with so many people enjoying life that it is infectuous.

So here I have one piece of really good news. It is about a county sherriff in Indiana standing up against federal agents from the FDA and the DOJ, in an effort to protect an organic farmer from their harrassment. YAY!

http://www.dontcomply.com/oathkeeper-sheriff-blocks-feds-raiding-local-farmer/

“Specifically, the FDA was inspecting his farm without a warrant as much as every two weeks. Typical inspections occur annually. The Department of Justice (DOJ) had subpoenaed him for a grand jury in Michigan in which he was to bring his production documents. The Feds wanted to make this farmer an example.”

Rogers continued, “My research concluded that no one was getting sick from this distribution of this raw milk. It appeared to be harassment by the FDA and the DOJ, and making unconstitutional searches, in my opinion. The farmer told me that he no longer wished to cooperate with the inspections of his property.”



Sheriff Rogers wrote to the DOJ and let them know that he would take action if the federal inspectors came without a signed warrant that specified probable cause to give a clear reason why they needed to conduct their invasive searches:
“I understand that you have made recent requests to (the farmer) for documents and to appear before a grand jury, and he has had a number of inspections and attempted inspections on his farm within Elkhart County. This is notice that any further attempts to inspect this farm without a warrant signed by a judge, based on probable cause, will result in federal inspectors’ removal or arrest for trespassing by my officers or I.

In addition, if any further action is taken by the federal government on (the farmer), while he is in Elkhart County, I will expect that you or federal authorities contact my office prior to such action. I will expect you to forward this information to your federal associates, including the FDA.”

[PurpleLama]

The actual events happened over four years ago, and the farmer has not been inspected since. You left out the best part!

[ulli]

But maybe the best part is not the outcome, but the fact that a local community sherriff stood up for his people.

Actually that translation by Google is totally wrong, and the oppsosite of the real meaning of the phrase.
Interesting how many other sites have then also got it wrong; obviously because they only checked the Google reference.

"No me" translates as "Do NOT".
Or perhaps I should have just said. Please don't mess with me...

[ulli]

Just one more add, PurpleLama and Target are regular contributors here, and in the context of the tragedy that has happened recently, their posts make sense. At least that's my impression, knowing them both.
PL may have had legitimate reason to delete what he first composed, remembering the context and situation at hand. Target's post then expressed sympathy with that sentiment.
It was not until that flippant reply from Rantaak who never drops by any more, and who seems to be oblivious to the history here that I lost it.
I apologize to anyone I may have hurt unjustly with my remark.

[ulli]

Ok, further clarification. Moderator help assured me that Rantaak's original post was not written with any desire to disrupt. He wrote a post, and for whatever reason then decided to change his mind about posting it, but could not delete the message completely.
So, no harm, just a misunderstanding.
This is actually the kind of monkeywrench that the dark force often throws into the works, to create further confusion and stir the ***t.
There are only two ways to combat this...to either forget about it in an instant and move on, with a loving and forgiving attitude, or to analyze every detail and be as specific as possible, so that the truth can emerge.
As this is my thread, and many guests visit it at any given time, I chose the second option, as I felt it best to clarify everything for these readers.

I did post something and thought better of it, not for any ill intent, so you surmise correctly my friend.

The sentiment that target agreed with, I think, was simply thinking better of speaking on the forum in general, sometimes. Lord knows I've not been so active this last few years as I was the first few, but it's more for real life engagements requiring more attention than ever, not for any lack of caring for the friends we've all made hearabouts.

Amazon summary:




Living and dying with bravery and honor is at the heart of Hagakure, a series of texts written by an eighteenth-century samurai, Yamamoto Tsunetomo. It is a window into the samurai mind, illuminating the concept of bushido (the Way of the Warrior), which dictated how samurai were expected to behave, conduct themselves, live, and die. While Hagakure was for many years a secret text known only to the warrior vassals of the Nabeshima clan to which the author belonged, it later came to be recognized as a classic exposition of samurai thought.

The original Hagakure consists of over 1,300 short texts that Tsunetomo dictated to a younger samurai over a seven-year period. William Scott Wilson has selected and translated here three hundred of the most representative of those texts to create an accessible distillation of this guide for samurai. No other translator has so thoroughly and eruditely rendered this text into English.

its funny, but you'll know you have it down when you say

"this doesn't freak me out, I'm already dead".

its a temporal philosophy; so far ahead of its time it's mind boggling to me. You view your life (or specifically, the present) from your death bed, and with that in mind you re-evaluate the situation at hand.. that kind of context out of time is very very grounding.

Paul Levy illuminates the hidden source of the soul-devastating Pump & Dump economy.
Very interesting ... thank-you.

This is providing me with a perspective on economic matters than I would not have noticed on my own.

[PurpleLama]

Windigo (wetiko) is a shaman or medicine man who becomes a beast, crossing that psychic line and becoming a bestial wild man. Levy makes good points as for the shadow and such, but I believe his attribution to the windego is as erroneous as all the attributions to archons. This isn't to say that the phenomena don't exist, by any means, but a windego is a physical being which can be killed, and with the destruction of the true native culture in North America it is likely extinct. It is a mistake to conflate the human sorcerer with the subtle forces he may bargain with for power. Of course, my knowledge of native American folklore is far from complete, and it may be I who am having the misunderstanding. Aside from that possibility, it is important to continually observe the importance of self observation in regards to the thoughts that flow through our heads, not to own them but to be as aware as possible as they are the fliers, for good and ill, that will embed themselves as we own/agree with them, or reject them outright as the insanity they represent in our psychic environment.

I do wonder, could not a thought of the mind virus not be seen as the virus, itself?

Would one of it's primary modes of operation not consist in the corruption of the very things that could be most helpful it the exposure and removal of the virus, itself?


Except, as I've said here before, we didn't come on holiday by mistake.

Talk and humurous conversation are not necessarily lesser things. It all depends on their flavour and their motivation. In fact, having seen the illusory nature, it only becomes more clear that the deep stillness is the ultimate expression of the mind-virus. The universe isn't still, it's a dance. We are not here ... to disappear.


Exactly what the virus would have you believe, since what it fears most is a lack of distraction. It's like a thief suddenly having a spotlight focused directly at them on a pitch black stage.

and still we search for reasoning with the same mind that steals!
I am only talking to my older self who is trying to find a backup copy of my self?
lmao

[lake]

Logic....well I am not a binary code.

Input and output.

The thing which makes me aware is emotions, especially empathy.

To look at the current state of humans is to look at technology, which is logical.

Input thus output.

Well I am not that.......I am emotional, I always was.

To look at the best in art of any kind created by humans....then you see emotional content.......the man/woman puts the essence of themselves, at that point, into the creation.

If emotions are being harvested by beings outside of this human capacity to illuminate and this is called 'loosh' or any other name, well I no longer care as I consider it another diversion.

When I was a child I expressed my singular nature via emotions not logic, this expression we call living in the 'now'.
To now try and exist inhibiting that emotional connection to all else so as to limit a so called 'harvest' seems debilitating to me.

If we look at the world as it stands we can see that there is a want for less personal interaction of emotive thought rather than a need for more.
The idea that fear is the driving force may still be of value as fear is a proactive and so positive interaction, whereas empathy is a non invasive connection which could then be considered negative, as it will not 'force' a result?
As far as I have knowledge....energy runs from the negative to the positive.......therefore the parasites require logic to exist rather than emotions?
And again we can see this lack of beneficial emotions currently being forced upon this world.

We are force fed lies on many levels....but as a child I was content in my emotions.......it was only with the introduction of logic that I fell?
As you know there are 2 types of emotion, one being of other and one being of self.
Again when I was young, before conditioning, my emotions were of other.
Self needs are logical, other needs are solely emotional?

Its just a thought process but it is 'here and now'....well at least for me!

There are moments when I wonder what will cause it to turn around. Other moments, I’m reminded that it is a welcomed blessing to be in the here and now, and it’ll sort itself out as it always has.

So here is science currently...nano technology and 3D printing, and Carmody pushing the envelope further. Even using non-existing terms like infinity, and speaks of the value of assumptions. We are all about to become mystics, folks while using texhnologies to take us there.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?91117-Elon-Musk-Nails-it-We-are-living-in-a-computer-simulation&p=1084144&viewfull=1#post1084144

Thanks Carmody and GalaxyHorse. I'm no expert in anything, just an ordinary dilletante, curious, and yet lacking the discipline to follow the protocols needed to become an expert. But I always wished that experts would switch between different fields of expertise, like Carmody is doing, and then connect their knowledge with their spiritual intuition.

And I always seek information where expert language is translated in lay terms and then use my intuition to wrap my head around it all.
So reading the above two posts meant some memory got triggered and I went looking for the paragraph below which I believe is relevant:
(From one of the Wingmakers sites)

"The physicist, David Bohm, once explained, “…the entire universe has to be thought of as an unbroken whole.” The structure of reality as implied by twentieth century physics shows us that the universe is indeed a vast tapestry of interdependent energetic fields in which we are active participants—not merely observers.
The energies that stream into our local galaxy are circulated through its magnetic field, touching our heliosphere (solar system’s magnetic field) and then touching our earth and then each of us, like a subtle shower of light. There will be no place to hide or avoid the incoming energetics. All will be touched by these new energies that have journeyed such vast distances to activate us into the collective intelligence we are designed to be.
It will not come to us like a switch turning on one day and then it is gone the next. Rather, it will occur over time and remain as long as we redistribute it amongst ourselves. Its influence will astonish us in terms of the degree in which our human family changes in our relation to time, space, religion, government, leadership, purpose, and our abilities to unite as a collective race focused on a mission of transcendence through unity.
There will be no Armageddon. Nor will we be swept up into the ascensionary wings of extraterrestrials. What awaits us is the higher order intelligence of our natural birthright pressing itself upon the field of earth. Humanity must unravel itself energetically to expose its natural purpose, not only upon earth, but upon the stars as well."

Hi folks! Popping in as soon as Mercury starts to slow down. I went to my favourite island today, my face is red as a crab. Actually used my Trangia kitchen- sync sync - for the first time in years today, boiled some water for coffee!

I've also been through hell and back twice but feeling great at the moment, better than years back, seems like the Lyme is loosing the game although I'm not totally assured of course. Will be back. So much love as Kaypacha says.

Running Dear Lol Lol Lol, I've got a neighbour who hired her apartment to a man from Gambia, guess if I smell weed every time I pass that door...

I just made my first batch of brownies in years and will polish it off today. It was the perfect thing for my chocolate addiction.
I've been trying to stick with raw cacao fudge, which is the healthiest way I've found of satisfying my craving, but I will at least dust my next batch of brownies off with some of the raw cacao powder.
It's my birthday this Friday ( I will be 68! :crutch: can't believe I've lasted this long, and am still going pretty strong ) so I will indulge a bit.

Same kind of weather here in the Ozarks, though it's supposed to get down into the 80s next week, and might even rain.
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iSjIucHmyM8/VZbBUDAPKCI/AAAAAAAABmk/E2C_G-1ewUs/w426-h320/Nah%25252C%252BCat%252527s%252Bjust%252Bdon%252527t%252Bfollow%252Bthe%252Blaw%252527s%252Bof%252BPh ysics%252B...%252Bit%252Bmeowited.png
This morning I got up at 7:15 (always a struggle for me as I am a night owl), got dressed, made my aloe, maca and spirulina morning smoothie and drank it, took my vitamins, got all my stuff ready for my first day at work, then sat on the porch waiting for my reserved ride with our local public transport van.
When it didn't show up, I called the depot and was informed that the transport van doesn't run on Sundays! :facepalm:
First time I've done that in years too, and the really ironic thing is that I thought it was the first day at my new job, which I'm always a bit nervous about.
Well, tomorrow is the first day and I know I'm going to feel foolish all day long today and tomorrow AM too when I have to do that go-to-work routine all over again and the van driver will be amused because they all will know by tomorrow that I missed a day.
Anyway, I decided to go back to bed for a nap, and I had a very realistic, real-time-and-place dream in which Kerry Cassidy came over and helped to fix my desktop computer (which has indeed crashed), and she got it going again but did something wrong and the printer suddenly started printing out all kinds of stuff and we couldn't get it to stop, so it kept on printing until it had used up my brand new ink cartridge and THEN it finally stopped.
A moment of panic and fluster, then we both just laughed and waited for the ghost in the machine to have its fun.
Then she complimented me on the decor in my living room and said she liked all my collages (which really are) hanging on the walls.
Then I excused myself to go pee, and had one of those things where you are sitting on the toilet getting ready to pee and then you realize that you are actually asleep and are going to wet the bed if you don't get up asap and get to the bathroom.
Curious morning!
I am going to take heed of what I just posted here this week, I hope: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?91348-AngStoic-astrology-prediction-for-the-next-3-months-and-next-10-years&p=1084218&viewfull=1#post1084218
...and stop devoting precious time and energy to things I cannot change, and get to work more on something I've been putting off doing--getting back to work on writing my life story, which I just resumed a week or so ago.
I drew a card the other night from my magical Vibrational Medicine pack https://www.amazon.com/Vibrational-Medicine-Rowena-Pattee-Kryder/dp/0962471658
... which was about two things, Remembering and Direction (as in finding a new one).
I loved what Don Juan Matus instructed about recapitulation.
I feel so much power returning to me when I write about my past.
I don't dwell on it--there's nothing so painful anymore that I can't write about it, and it's such a good release when I do.
When recording an event from my teen aged years the other day, something I was very ashamed of and knew I had earned some bad karma over, it came home to me in a very humbling way how unwise it is to judge and condemn others.
Being human isn't easy.
Often things look very different in retrospective too, and I realize I can release something that never really meant what I thought it did.

Have a great week, villagers.

Thanks for that....it made me laugh, must say though when I saw the first image of the young girl holding the demon.......I immediately though how wonderful it is.
Beauty being only skin deep and the empathy the child must have! Amazing!
Look at her eyes....there is only a want for redemption for the beast.......a want for another chance a want for escape for the beast a want for a return....together!
Look at the beast.......it knows that the child has the power....but more it knows that it will eventually BE a part of the child's love and WILL !

Stunning, thank you.

Oh and the third image is probably one of the MOST scarier things I have seen!!! lol

Edit to add that maybe she is Sophia and the demon is her child in this bubble of a reality? the one that does not have knowledge of its mother?
Would like to know this paintings name, if anyone knows?

Whoa, ladies, some great sharing there.
And Onawah, brilliant post...loved it. Did writing about your dream by any chance reveal to you that the Kerry Cassidy character was an aspect of yourself? As was the computer that needed fixing, as well as the printer that wouldn't stop and then finally did, all ending in a good ol' laugh?
Because that's how I have been analyzing my own dreams for the last thirty years, and have had no end of empowering insights as a result.
Can't emhasize this enough, and can't thank Fritz Perls ( founder of Gestalt Therapy) enough for having brought to us his teachings.
That wholeness, holiness, approach to life, as explained in so many different words, by Perls, Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, Gnosticism, Wingmakers, and that led me to learn how to balance polarities, shelve apparently unacceptable concepts for a while instead of throwing them out, yet letting others react to their lives as they see fit, without judgement, and just toodle along my way, trusting in The Most High, whenever I have reached my own limits.
This is what has worked for me.

Thanks Running Deer for the brownies (raw cacao actually doesn't have a lot of calories--it's the butter and honey in the fudge!) and thanks for the calming vibes--I need that! and thanks to Ulli for the insights, which sparked some reflection.
I have read some of Perls, though I am more into mysticism, Wicca, Zen, etc.
update: ...but also into Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, Gnosticism, Wingmakers, etc.
But I am familiar with the theory that anyone who appears in our dreams is actually an aspect of one's self.
I think what the dream was about was the fact that, although I am a Leo, I have a lot of Gemini in my chart and though I used to be much more active, nowadays due to my disability (bad knees, ankles, etc. so it's painful when I am on my feet) I have kind of surrendered myself to the Geminisque factor and am spending way too much time online networking, signing petitions, doing activist work which I feel is of service to others, but I overdo it, and so am not serving myself well in that way.
That need to communicate is strong, but what is working best for me now in that regard is working on my life story.
I could really let the rest go and it would probably be good for me to do that.
(Sometimes I think it's better to be LESS in service to others!)
I need to get more creative with my writing and also get back to doing more collage work, which gets me out of my mental body and more into my imagination and heart.
Kerry demonstrated how it's good to have the computer in that she fixed it, but it can "run away with me" (I am compulsive with it), as the printer did in copying out stuff that wasn't really needed (repetitive work like signing petitions, sending letters to Congress, etc.).
And she complimented my collage work, which is something I know I should do more of because it gives me such deep satisfaction.
That message has been coming through loud and clear for awhile, but I'm just now really starting to act on it more, having resumed writing my life story after a couple of years of that being on the shelf, and making collages (just finished one and another presently in the works).

Being your communicative self (Gemini) or your practical, loving self ( Leo) that in itself IS service.
Whatever you chose to do, or be...unless you are just lying around on the bed and screaming at people for not bringing you the next bag of potato chips or diet soda fast enough...
To me, anyway, this means you are being of service.

[onawah]

Agreed, I just want to be as effective as I possibly can in making as much change for the good as possible.
Making one's self a healthier, more informed, happier facilitator for service is also part of being effective....they can't be separated from each other.
I think Lily Earthling was saying something about that recently on a forum.

Well, to tell you the truth, I think about effectiveness every day. I guess this happens to all who are carrying the reality of that deathbed moment at all times. To arrive at that point "this is it, I'm done here" and knowing that one has used all of one's talents to the best of one's ability.

During my Baha'i years I met Madame Rabbani, who shared a dream she had. In her dream the whole world was flooding, and the floodwaters were rising very quickly. And everywhere there were people drowning in the waters, and others who were on higher land trying to save them.
And then she thought why isnt Abdu'l-Baha helping them. And then she saw him, on some hilltop, by himself, fiddling with a machine. And she went up to him and asked him why wasn't he helping to get people out of the rising waters.
And his reply was, Abdu'l-Baha is building the machine that will make the floodwaters go down again.
So this caught my attention regarding effectiveness.
He also used to say to people in his talks "The important must give way to the most important."
But then I thought if a person is already prone to be ambitious, by nature, like me Capricornian, then perhaps having a more relaxed existence can help me become more effective in the long run.
Because any anxiety about outcome, if it became an obsessive- compulsive endeavor, can then sabotage the outcome.
There really are no easy answers other than to carry on with one's quest for truth and being, and a little help from one's friends upstairs.

"The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother. When the soul attaineth the Presence of God, it will assume the form that best befitteth its immortality and is worthy of its celestial habitation. Such an existence is a contingent and not an absolute existence, inasmuch as the former is preceded by a cause, whilst the latter is independent thereof.
Absolute existence is strictly confined to God, exalted be His glory. Well is it with them that apprehend this truth. Wert thou to ponder in thine heart the behavior of the Prophets of God thou wouldst assuredly and readily testify that there must needs be other worlds besides this world."~Baha'u'llah
All lives are nothing but preparation for those other worlds.
May Kyle's soul now be able to soar between them.

On a happier note, I'm planning a surprise birthday party for my wife... her best friend/horse trainer / vet tech is "surprise" moving down here this weekend (her bday is Saturday) which is going to make my wife SUPER happy (BFF 'n all that)... plus her favorite number is 42 and this is her 42nd bday

there are hotel ruins near our house (used to be a huge resort back in the 60/70's) that we are going to throw the party in.. it's an AWESOME location.

gonna drag a generator over and stick it away in a room somewhere so it won't be loud, hired a DJ and I'll string lights up around the place, buy a few gallons of rum and mixers... should be a blast!

But with Tminus 5 days to go I'm not sure how I'm going to pull it all off.


I don't mind these kind of challenges though.

the sekret is safe!

if anyone has any cool ideas I could toss together in a week or less i'm all ears!

I'm buying a few hundred feet of LED string lights to run around the columns and tops of the archways at the hotel.. plus a few 5,000 watt shop lights for accent lighting of the structure itself (no direct light, all will be reflected or the LED string lights, which aren't very bright) the DJ and booze were no brainers,, the friend coming down is the only real special part so far...


last year I did a great suprize birthday, but the year before was the best.

I told her she had a "special ride" I set up her now best-male-friend on the island as a tourist that was going to propose at a special beach (this would have been our tours first proposal & she was super nervous)... but in reality I had all our friends and family at the normally secluded beach. We had a hooka tent set up, 3 Grills, a couple of "Beverage" locations and tons of people..

When she showed up she was running late and super frustrated that "the beach had people on it, who are all these people??"


haha, she literally walked into her own party & due to the frustration didn't realize what was going on until she was in the middle of her friends, then she cried a little....

trying to top that this time, I think we've invited around 100+ people so hopefully there will be enough friends :)

You are doing it right, Target, and you are not even an astrologer.

Dear Everyone--

My friend has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukemia.
Even though he has a white blood cell count of zero and his life
span has been predicted to be two weeks to two months, he's
not going to do chemotherapy and will instead head for Mexico for
alternative treatments.

He just turned 75 and doesn't want to bow out yet--not before
his 95-year old dad. He's a wonderfully kind and generous man
who believes in sharing his knowledge and wisdom and
resources. As he says, he's a "good guy."

I'm asking you to please send him loving, healing thoughts.

Thank you.


Peace Love Joy & Harmony,

Dear Everyone--

Even though he has a white blood cell count of zero and his life

We had a shock today when we discovered that our gardener had an attack of temporary insanity and chopped the top of our baby mango tree, without asking permission, nearly destroying the tiny nest with the two baby hummingbirds. We had to get some branches from another tree and tie them to the mango tree to give shade and shelter to the baby hummingbirds.
Tomorrow the guy will get a lecture. A tree is not like a hedge that needs regular trimming.

Also marihuana oil, very efficient it seems

Hi! I just induced a piece of cotton with colloidal silver that I make with my Frequency machine and two silverrods and then applied it on the mole that looks like cancer to me and took a sip of the colloidal silver also. How much is one ounce in grams?

Will be interesting to see if it goes away. I'll try the eggplant also. I will on the other hand look up traditional medicine to check if it is cancer.

He has been using a Rife machine for a couple weeks.
Probably is using marijuana oil as well.
Don't know if he's using MMS, but I agree it could be helpful.


Re comfrey: In high school, I worked at the only health food store in Sacramento, California, and the owner made a delicious drink of comfrey leaves, mint leaves and pineapple juice whizzed up in a blender and then put through a sieve. It was very refreshing in the blistering days of summer (which days ultimately caused me to leave the area--too friggin' hot!).

They do not leave us,
They just slip into the next room
Looking back, and peeping through cracks in the door
Make them happy-when they look, show them rejoicing and celebration
And so we should rejoice
They have gone to the place of ultimate healing
The lofty view of the one
All the things that they suffered are washed away, leaving the pure love that is them in truth
Outside time, this healed love is poured forth to us
Make them happy by accepting it, and be healed

Genevieve, your friend should have easy access to fresh aloe vera leaves, which grow in Mexico.
There is a certain strain of leaves which are meant for consumption, and are usually available in Mexican markets even in the US.
There was a study done at a Texas University with cancer and AIDs patients who were "at death's door".
They all stayed in a clinic and were given the same treatment, no drugs or chemo, but fresh foods (including lots of fresh aloe vera gel blended in fresh fruit juice) and exercise, counseling, etc.
The vast majority of them recovered, and the AIDs patients had no trace left of the disease in their bloodstream.
Subsequent research suggests that the aloe was a BIG factor.
I've been consuming about a pound of fresh aloe gel for years now and despite many injuries from a near-fatal car accident and other health issues (the SV40 contaminated polio vaccine I received as a child which killed thousands of my generation when they reached their 40s of cancer, lupus, chronic fatigue, etc.)
I am still going strong and very rarely get ill. Of course, I take other things too, but I can really feel the difference when I skip a day of aloe.
Aloe is great prevention --anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, lots of oxygen and other nutrients-- as well as cure.
I buy organic leaves from a company called Aloe Labs in Harlingen, Texas and have them shipped.
But there are probably organic leaves in Mexico too (in my experience, the organic leaves are much better than the commercially grown.)
So when your friend returns home to the US, all well again, hopefully, there will be organic leaves available from Aloe Labs, and that would help prevent a relapse.

Spend time with him doing practical jobs, discuss any obvious problems and the best outcomes. Get him away from his routine for constructive breaks, with or without family. Main thing, break routines, keep contact daily, talk to each other, build family trust. Don't criticise, listen and ask for their suggestions. Let them choose, and support their choices, but if they stray then you can ask why it's gone a bit awry, they must get your support for progression. You also need family back-up.
Look up cognitative behavioural therapy, and how it works. Kind thoughts.

After trying all sorts of "normal" approaches with the drinkers in my life, the only thing left, other than their own efforts, is to involve the services of a competent shaman or exorcist. Because I really think that they are being hijacked by discarnate entities.
And particularly in cases of PTSD, where the personality has been split apart by the trauma, those entities have an opening through which to enter. Once alcohol is in the blood stream the telepathic channels are opened and those entities voices can then take over and take control.
I also believe that the area has something to do with it. Barbados in the Caribbean where I lived for 12 years was a slavery island and a sugar and rum producing island, and there were an enormous number of people who may have died while under the influence of rum, and they dont even know that they are dead. So they are looking for a drink, but need a body to enjoy it.
I've seen tourists there overindulge as if driven, from the moment they stepped foot on that island. It was something to behold, unlike anything I have seen anywhere else.

http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/General/no-more_zpsalsk3nnc.JPG

Ideas on how to help?

Maybe…just maybe…nothing. No thing.

No matter how much love, support, tough love, compassionate ear...not much will help. That is until they are willing to go to the very depths they avoid. For many, the waiting to exhale is not so far from the mess bits*.

And in some cases, it’s only days, hours, minutes, seconds away. Then the healing begins.

They don’t have to be a warrior. They only need a few moments of warrior-like action; the willingness to be suspended in a place of unknown. Breath. And feel the True who they are in the depths of their being(ness). The depths beyond the mess bits* that’ve clogged up the mind, body, spirit.

If on some level, they understand a bit of the above, and/or puke themselves inside out from the pain, the suffering, the loss and there’s no more but the explosion of no-more, no-more, please God, I can’t take any more…THEN they’ll help themselves. They empower themselves.

Be by their side with a listening ear, a few words of encouragement, a hug and a :thumb:.

*messy bits = drugs, alcohol, programs, F-beliefs, unreasonable/unrealistic expectations, fear, anger, rage, over-indulgent in foods, sadness, shopping for big things, shiny things, fast cars, red cars, long work hours, Ben & Jerry’s, toxic friends and family, suckling-energetics.

I had the same experience, many years ago. I used to have regular attacks of chronic appendicitis. No one ever diagnosed me properly, and after two or three days of unbelievable agony I would get better. These attacks would come every six months, and at least once a year. (Finally my appendix did burst in 1994, and I was rushed to hospital, and since then have been free from those attacks)
Anyway, when I woke up during one of those attacks, and tried to observe the pain, just lie still, and observe it...it grew and grew until I could not stand it any longer. Got out of bed, and on all fours crawledl to a book shelf, and looked for a bible which was then banished to the bottom shelf, as I was then no longer interested in religion.
And I pulled it off the shelf, and it fell to the floor, and my eyes fell on the sentence "have you not eyes to see, nor ears to hear?"
And suddenly I could hear the noise of a bus passing outside, and as I looked at the wall next to the shelf it looked as if there was a light shining inside it, and as a voice told me, loud and clear " you are all already dead"

And I noticed that I was totally free of pain, and where before there was no perception other than pain, I was now free. All this happened in an instant. I will never forget it.
Today I believe that my spiritual awakening was orchestrated by some higher being, that wanted to alert me to the world in which there was no pain, nor division.
So to realize that we are all dead already is the same as saying that there is no death to fear.
Thats how I understood its meaning back then.
Then I went and woke up my partner (ex husband) and told him that I had received a miraculous healing.

me thinks its a subtle hint to the below philosophy ;)



forget about it in an instant and move on, with a loving and forgiving attitude,

My life motto! I have begun to temper it with Hagakure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagakure)... it's an excellent way to work on that inner landscape and re-order/shape your perspective.


I'm sure there's nothing out there that will happen that we cannot adapt to and I'm convinced that humanity always improves in the face of a challenge.

some are harder than others.

its a temporal philosophy which centers around the "I am already dead" mentality.

its a way to triage life's situations and focus on what is truly important to you; as you view everything from your death bed...

It's the Samurai philosophy.

TargeT, that philosophy is absolutely awesome (hagakure). Glad you brought it.up. If applied diligently it can change one's life.

I worked in a hospital once as a companion. I can't tell you how many death bed regrets I heard. And they werent that profound; they were simple. For example, more than one patient reported that they regretted not having the courage to dance more. I'm not kidding. So whenever i'm at a wedding or an event of some sort, i'm the first guy on the dance floor. I'm determined to have a goofy good time. And since ive shed this pretension or embarrassment or whatever was stopping me, ive had a much better time! I'm doing it for me, but I feel like I'm doing it for all those patients too. It's just a small example, but it makes me feel good.

I was wondering if 'direct to disc' would come through on yootoob. It seems to come through. sort of. Some distortion on the peaks. And the low bit rate plays hell with the high levels of the voice and cymbals. But still, it will be outside of most people's experience.

It's when the disc is recorded live, right from the mix console to the record cutter. No tape, no dubs, no overlays...nothing. A perfect live "in studio, direct to record cut", type of disc. Done with the perfect band, live, in one single perfected shot.

This is how records were originally cut, before we had tape....which is why they (78's) sounded so good.

The person who put it on youtoob went through the effort so see if they could get the dynamics to come through, with as little distortion as is possible.

This means it seems a bit quiet, when it first starts. Change the quality level to 720p for best effect, as this is the entire point.

Turn it up!

And get ready to have the drums punch through your body. Which is what real drums do. No low dynamic range loudness wars going on here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war). The exact opposite, in fact. To remember what it sounds like... when a real singer..really belts one out.

Yippee! Despite being a Mac boy, this is still my favourite converter, Hervé/RunningDeer (and it's a really tiny file). The newer Macs will do this (sorta) and language conversion too as part of their standard basic system tools.

We need one that does things like CEO to Asshat conversions. Or politician to sleazeball, sleazeball to slimeball, to ..etc

I mean, how many dirtbags does it take to equal One US President? These are serious questions for inquiring minds.

Indeed they are, especially after last night. Speculating here, but what about 25 million slimeballs and 290 million sleazeballs.

What does it mean when you dream of your ex girlfriend from 20 yrs ago almost nightly? I really don't think of her consciously during the day...so it baffles me.

[onawah]

She represents something in yourself that is trying to get your attention, perhaps, or some issue from your past that you have buried in your memory.
Unless it's an OBE and she is actually trying to connect with you (which would be a VERY lucid kind of dreamstate), she is actually some part of yourself, according to classic dream analysis, anyway.
Lots of people seem to be having lucid dreams right now.
Perhaps it's as the aborigines foretold, and the Dreamtime will be merging more now with our mundane reality.
I just had a funny dream the other day in which Kerry Cassidy came to visit me.
It was so real time, in my actual home and in the here and now, when I excused myself for a second to go to the bathroom while she was looking at the collages on my walls, I almost peed in my bed. :blushing:, and when I jumped up to go to the bathroom, it almost seemed like she was actually still in my living room.
At the very same time, Agape was trying to locate Kerry in Prague, where she had scheduled an event, and Eva and I had been PMing each other a lot in the past couple of weeks, so it definitely seemed kind of synchronisitic.

Had a strange experience yesterday morning.
I was driving to work yesterday, and I was having a bit of fun reading out words in a British accent (I get silly when bored)

Cruising on the freeway at about 50-60 mph, made a lane change, and half way into the lane change, I catch in the corner of my right eye, another car merging into the same lane. Without skipping a heart beat, or even looking, I made the necessary adjustment so I wouldn't crash into this car on my right side, yet slightly behind me.
Then I stepped on the gas, and got ahead of the other car, while in the same lane. It was almost like a dance.

No panic, no surprise, no adrenaline rush. It was a detached, calm action. not reaction. It was a strange moment of "knowing".

I wonder if that is what if feels like to be "in the zone".

Could it be you’re picking up on emotional and/or physical turmoil she’s experiencing?

Another possibility is you’re in her thoughts because events she’s currently experiencing with someone similar in nature or relationship patterns.

Or for yourself, the relationship was lessons learned and it’s time to move on. Time to cut the cords that keep you energetically linked.

Hi Mike,

I think that dream interpretation is extremely difficult, but I had dreams about a girlfriend from 20 years ago for about 15 years, although not almost nightly. More like a few times a month.
For me personally, I think, that it had to do with some strong unresolved emotional issues that I had with her.
When I finally got over those, the dreams stopped, which has been for about five years now.

There have been so many of these healing stories, and I really don't know who deserves the credit.
But perhaps it is simply the act of asking...and faith then does the rest.
I'm really glad about the good news, genevieve.

Senate Proclaims July 30th, 2016 A Day to Celebrate Whistleblowers
National Whistleblower Appreciation Day Resolution Passes by Unanimous Consent

United-States-Capitol
Washington, D.C. July 8, 2016. Yesterday, U.S. Senate unanimously passed S.Res.522, designating July 30, 2016 as National Whistleblower Appreciation Day.

The resolution encourages all federal agencies to inform "employees, contractors working on behalf of United States taxpayers, and members of the public about the legal rights of citizens of the United States to 'blow the whistle' by honest and good faith reporting of misconduct, fraud, misdemeanors, or other crimes to the appropriate authorities." The resolution also acknowledges the contributions whistleblowers have made, at their own personal risk, "combating waste, fraud, abuse."

The designation of July 30th is to commemorate legislation passed by the Continental Congress on that date in 1778, which stated that government employees have a duty to report misconduct, fraud and other crimes in government to the appropriate authorities in a timely manner.

The resolution was introduced by Senator Chuck Grassley and cosponsored by all 14 members of the Senate Whistleblower Protection Caucus (seven Democrats and seven Republicans). It passed the Senate by Unanimous Consent yesterday evening.

"The resolution demonstrates that whistleblowers are key to government accountability, and rest at the very heart of the American democratic tradition. It commemorates America's first whistleblower law, passed unanimously by the Continental Congress on July 30, 1778," said Stephen M. Kohn, Executive Director of the National Whistleblower Center.

National Whistleblower Day was sparked by the re-discovery of America's first whistleblower law, enacted on July 30, 1778. The rediscovery was based on original historical research first published in The Whistleblower's Handbook, written by Kohn.

If you could control the eyes, it would be awesome to have one of those.... Uh.... Hats? Costumes?

and make the ears flick.

It is possible to do what you desire, here, with head tracking and motorized fake eyes. Then an invisible wire for a quick ear flick or two. however, it would begin to creep up in price, notably so. Probably $1500-2k for the first one.

In a cat, it's mostly cartilage and then muscle. Thus, it can be faked with springs, strings, and motors.

Use micro miniature cameras and VR headsets, with the battery and translation/viewer hardware in the small of the back The person inside turns their head, and the cat's eyes move, and the view moves.

All the hardware already exists. All the software already exists.

Ok, found the price. The cat heads are ...($5706.14 USD) each. The other hardware might not go over $2kus. the software integration and the hardware build is the problem. But very doable, ie a forgone conclusion.

About $8k (plus highly skilled labour) to get to a giant cat head with a human response gaze, and flicking ears.

It's funny, I didn't mention the other day, I dreamed of a village party (after a wedding, perhaps?) where I recognized Carmody, and to preclude further recognition he transformed himself into an orange tomcat. Made me laugh, just now, realizing this page's connection.

[Eram]

That's interesting purplelama,

a few years ago, I dreamed of Carmody too and in that dream he was an orange fox. Or that's how I perceived it anyway. It could've been a tomcat after all.
I even mentioned it in this thread, though I'm too lazy to search for it now.
Both orange, both same size..

Coincidence or....?
Carmody, you have some explaining to do. :P

[Eram]

On 2th thought, I tried the advanced search option and for once, it worked out fine. lol

Here's the post where I mention Carmody in a dream:


Well, If we are going to talk about meeting Carmody in the astral...
Dreaming unconsciously is something else, but in the astral also.

I dreamt of you (Carmody) a few days ago and I never dream about people from PA, well 1 time before actually (someone else, very magic dream).
I have a hard time recalling dreams, but this dream was in the city and then in the forest, then back in the city and in the forest again.
Carmody was a fox or had a fox as companion. Can't remember much about the dream, but I woke up with a feeling of understanding and one-ness.

And after that dream, finally Carmody's posts began to make sense to me, or I am beginning to understand what he writes about

...And to give more hospitality, they will take care your belongings with plastic bag tied up to prevent the smoke going into it. And in a similar fashion, they'll provide you a plastic hair cover if needed.

Maybe something got lost in translation. They meant to prevent grease splatter?

Cuz, stuffing my clothes in a plastic bag will NOT prevent the smoke going into it. Same with a plastic hair cover. I'd have to hit the showers and it’d take days to air out my car. The clothes would be outside until they were washed. My shoes would need a long airing out.

I went back to that page. It was September 2012, when this thread suffered a severe attack and I went on strike.
Wondering what happened to LisaB. Last we heard she left for Florida. She and I knew some of the same crowd, from the Rockpile recording studio of Dave Edmunds in South Wales. Miss her.
I met Carmody too in a dream. We were good buddies. He looked like Johnny Depp...not the Captain Jack Sparrow version.

I wasn't aware of that but it doesn't surprise me. There was a brief time when I used a hibachi grill. My face broke out major big time. I put two and two together. It was the charcoal and/or fuel starter. I experimented once more and the same thing.

[Carmody]

Or when I drove on closed highways all night (in an area where snow means nothing!), at above the speed limit, on uncleared heavily snowed roads, combined with blizzard whiteouts (periodical). For almost 10 hours. The car had to be controlled for every inch of highway traveled. 100% on... and in the zone, for the whole drive.
