And here my favourite sung version of that prayer


BtJeI4Q9nBE


This morning, my sky is not on fire like yesterday and I actually had a great nights sleep.
The sky is clear and it is über warm for this time of year.

Cute. Puppy that is http://www.madeformums.com/forum/smilies/wink_smiley.gif

You know Eaglespirit, when communicating via forums, one forms mental images of what people look like. I cannot remote view, but you sure fit my image. Great pics. Thanks for posting.

[Lisab]

That's one of my fave prayers too. And I love Sinead.

Im looking forward to Neptune in Pisces. I reckon it represents a flood of compassion!

Astrid good luck on your Shaman path.

Huh-oh! I'm Sag. But I have a Virgo moon. Can I still play? Let's sail away to 2012. Happy sailing everyone.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTGs9y-qZWw&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PLED6999E2F85F5734

What I love most about Sadges is their tolerance, and their optimism.
I'm married to one.
He has a sun/Saturn conjunction. Which explains why he gets along with me, a Capricorn.
Meanwhile I have a sun/Jupiter conjunction. Which explains why I get along with Sadges.

I love those Sagg women hips.

My last BF was a Sadge and nothing like the profile.
Mind you he had plenty of environmental happenings
to make it a challenge to express his natural self .
That and years of psych meds, I have been trying to
get him to wean himself off them, so far no luck.
Docs realy piss me off sometimes for handing them
out like candy. He was put on them when he was
starting to process his abusive childhood. He was
crying a lot which is totally the right and appropriate
response considering what he experienced . The doc
filled him full of pills making him totally numb.
Being unable to experience his emotions he completely
lacks empathy, so the abuse cycle continues .

What you can't feel you can't heal, 95% of all meds
prescribed are anti depressants no wonder so many are
apathetic to the goings on in their world .

My dad's a Sag. Mom Capricorn....


Yes, have seen that lab vid. This one however, is by far my favourite!! The moooooooooooosic!

Crying would make a Sadge have severe doubts in himself. After all, he is supposed to be a happy camper.
So if he got those pills from the doc they weren't about the healing those early wounds, it was about the fact that he was a cry baby.
They want to be explorers, always seeking, even without discovering, as discovery would mean possibly committing, and that would be the end of search.
But if life has the last laugh and Sadge gets caught in the brambles, long enough to make him think and reflect, he might discover that all along he was a philosopher.
Then he can make the switch from 3 D search to the cosmic search within his inner worlds. He might even find God.

[Lisab]

Anti- depressants were a godsend to me when I was post natal. Just in the short term as they got be back on a level playing field again. But normally though I wouldnt recommend them either.

Great vids Marianne. Love the talisman. I wonder if on the positive we'll find ways to green the deserts and free energy breakthroughs involving water.

Not sure what Nep's up to on my chart but I do know my finances are in upheaval!

Just remembered as well, there are two rare venus transits in this year, thats got to be good.

Hey JB :wave:

Wow ... that one (those two) take more than a "thank you".

Didn't know you were one of the astro buffs :)

Have to put on my poker face :tape: while seeing if it is in the cards to hold em or fold em.

Second power cut in less than a week, and lasted 1 1/2 hours.
Just after I posted that last post, which again had a glitch.
For some reason all my posts on this iPad come with those tobogganing dogs attached. Weird.

[1inMany]

Here and now...very warm & toasty in my hidey-hole. Clock ticking, dog snoring, space heater humming away. Found awesome theta and music pieces on youtube last night. Tried one, and it made me too filled with energy to sleep lol, so I'm headed there now for a dose of happy :)

Here's to a great day....Much Love,

[9eagle9]

Sounds like its a pretty long term endeavor, Astrid. Then when you get on the shaman train you have a one way ticket...lol.

I liked working in a group after a breaking in period. After previous experiences working in spiritual communties I didn't think I would but ..I realize now even being in the sucky spiritual communties taught me more about intervention, and meditation than if I been in one where everyone was standing in their intention of being a community.Part of the shamanic expression is debating and meditating issues in the community and intervention and if the community is hunky dory one doesn't have much opportunity to hone those skills. The problem was it just become all about mediation, and facilitating 'issues' between other members.

Like any other group one is challenged by those few who bring ego and drama in over and over. We quickly learned how to identify who was there to have the group be a community and those who were there to use the community as a stage. I'd make this question very direct. "Okay say you enter my home one day and you find me smearing **** all over the walls, what will you do?"

The two that didn't react to that question are still with me to this day...lol.

What I miss most is those little moments of synchroncity and magick and weird little things going on between other's in the community.

The hand writing is a chore after being used to instant typing. Remember that callous we used to get on the first or second finger, from writing? I'd entirely forgotten about that callous , its gone now. and if I have to write for more than ten minutes my hand is sore...lol. But..I'm pitching 90 percent of my written material, and texts this year so most people in session will be writing. I used to find myself writing what I said down for them, and that's me working harder than them. Which I am not going to do any more.

Relating something orally and then having the audience jot it down helps to anchor that information . My own handwriting is illegible....lol. When I go back and re-read it I find enough legible words to key up my recall but can't really use it as a reference.


After the first communities I was in I was leery about particpating again . But .....Even though I was the facilitator I found everyone brought something to the table. Huge learning experience for me, one learns more from the other's particpating than from the actual intended course.. The people who are meant to be there will always being some eye opening contribution. Then of course you get the ones who aren't really meant to be there but I found out the challenges alone usually cause them to drop out.Those are people who are given the 'idea' about shamanic expression instead of simply finding a shared place to allow their essential nature to express. You know "I'm here beause my dentist thinks I'm a shaman."

I think you'll find it a great experience and come out the other end a entirely different person.

Survived the heat yesterday, very intense but
I must say I'm more of a summer person.
Maybe it's the lack of fire in my chart, summer
seems to balance that out . Can't say I'm a
fan of high humidity though, we mostly have
dry heat where I am thankfully .
Both dogs struggle with the heat which is normal ,
worse thing was Louis was not eating , so I had to
work on that . Gave him a boost with some vitamins ,
minerals and some Ginger and garlic which is meant to
increase appetite. And last night was so impressed with
him he ate more than he has in weeks so
something is working .

Me - I sorted out my calender for January and I'm
now officially a shamanic student . It's going to be an
Interesting experiment because I have no sense
of time. I will be having to set reminders and alarms
which will surely drive me insane , lol. If I can get
into a weekly pattern I should be ok, as I will
intuitively know where I'm meant to be and when .
It's very much going to be a team effort with my higher
helpers, and really the whole core of Shamanism is to
have a strong working relationships with them so it's
all going to fuel itself . I could have skipped some
of the earlier classes, but I figured it's all practice and
makes for a stronger foundation . Also a good
exercise in quietening the ego to start at the
start. I will be working hard in the first weeks at
being receptive and sponge like rather than a
know it all, lol

Workig in a group setting will be a big part of the
challenge/ learning for me , but looking forward
to that . Really we are all going to have to learn
to work in collaborative ways if we are to get
through these times , so all great skills to have .

Cooler today and storms brewing .
Took a double dose of Ormus this morning as
I forgot to take it last few days. Getting lots of
third eye pressure and body separation feeling,
Interesting.
A gorgeous leather journal I ordered arrived today.
Hand made with the tree of life etched on the front
, I bought it especially for documenting my journeying .
Now I'm on the hunt for some appropriate writing
implements, my hand writing is pretty atrocious
something I'm aiming to work on.

Here is my take on Neptune in Pisces.
It won't be as big a deal as some make it out to be.
The biggest change happened in the world with the last transit, during the nineteenth century.
Now it's just going to be the second wave, as the spiritualization process really sinks in and individuals will achieve enloghtenment en masse.
The world before 1848 was a world where the fastest form of transport was the horse.
Monarchs ruled, the people had zero say.
Illumination came from candles. Neptune brought the industrial revolution and dissolved the power structures, especially that of the Popes and the Catholic Church. Pope Pius VI was the last Pope who had wordly powers.
What will happen now will be more of the same, higher octave.
People will channel messages from other dimensions like never before, and some will be useful, while others will be misleading.
What else is new? Water will become more expensive before it becomes totally abundant as those problems will find solutions like massive destillation plants that convert sea water into clean tap water.
Oil will be replaced by water as an energy source. Since Neptune rules liquids and gases that's where the greatest changes will take place.
Fracking will get worse before it gets better. It's up to the people to take a stand against the corporations who driven by competition concerns will always take the route of convenience and profits.
The people of the 19th century were victims at a much greater degree than today and with this transit of Neptune greater numbers than ever will claim their rights.
Amongst those who don't know how to fight for their rights the need to transcend will become stronger than ever...
I would imagine a drug and alcohol epidemic of unheard of proportions...while others who are more evolved will take the spiritual path.
Many people will realize that the lowest realms of 3D are also subject to creative change, only require more patience
because of the time factor. They will leave the cities and discover what life is like when you take on the forces of nature.
Considering that the earth is made up of mostly water I find Neptune really important, and now going into it's own sign IOW, going home, means much good will come from these next 14 years. It all depends on an individual's heart connection...if their antenna to heaven is encrusted with barnacles than the heavenly signals might be mixed with the murmurings of those barnacles, and inspiration/intuition won't be functioning at optimum efficiency. Then they'll have to deal with Neptunian deception and subsequent confusion.
Those lessons will lead to a desire for clarity...and once that desire becomes a powerful wish then enlightenment is inevitable. Hence it's all good. Viva Neptune and his sirens.

[Calz]

Related to this ... my suggestion was to be considering making the best effort to be drug and alchohol free going forward.

The negative and postive effects of your choice(s) are likely to be amplified.

Not an easy choice with all the stress factors going on in the world now (and in the coming days) so ulli is correct in that a great deal of people will opt for the easier of the two paths.

IMHO

They will leave the cities and discover what life is like when you take on the forces of nature.

I'm feeling that, for sure.

Sounds a bit scary, though, "taking on the forces of nature"...eek. Better beef up....ALOT!

I read somewhere that the city is for the body and the country is for the soul.
The forces of nature, like the four seasons, will help shape a person to become more humble and find their place in the universe.
The artificial environment of cities only serves to create a desire body. Those who have the financial means can indulge themselves, yet never discover spirit other than by reading about it in books.

Any sincere seeker would be better off in the country, growing their own food. Since there are fewer systems established it is much easier to detect the divine Hand at work.

my comment on 'getting lost'..was about how people tend to grab the first thing they see or come upon, when navigating (and diving into) spiritual waters. The danger is that the first thing, taken without due and constant evaluation, can be the wrong direction, the wrong thing to be doing. So it is best to look closely and look closely always. To change or not change when the time comes. This requires an act of constant self evaluation from a clear standpoint. The only way to be clear of clouding emotions or the bodily act of safety and familiarity through sleepwalking or repetition, is through constant re-evaluation of the self, in or at one degree or another.

It's not about self affectation (an egoic premise), it is the act of checking one's position so it flows when it needs to, without an undue pile of issues that have built up that might cloud the situation. Drifting. A Pisces thing.

Thus, the need to be aware that the Pisces depths of potential for self deception can come through, and that fecal matter might end up resembling shoe polish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Bfe6CgYbH8).

@Carmody
Now I remember....That line is from the movie The Jerk...Steve Martin...saw it years ago.
Like Being There (Peter Sellers) it's about deep stuff that often is lost on the sophisticated mind but the simple guy gets it.
I always like to see an astrological sign in the context of it's opposite sign, as together they form a whole.
So we have Neptune, associated with Pisces and Mercury, associated with Virgo. And together they form the Pisces Virgo axis...Neptune equals spirit (both good and bad) the principle of wholeness and gathering, and Mercury which rules the
mind hence about distinction and being specific....so here I get the biblical analogy of the harvest (Pisces), and sorting wheat from chaff (Virgo)
By itself, Pisces without Virgo's discernment can be quite scary. It can lead to that type of a hell where when the tea break is over everybody has to do their head stands in deep sh*t.

Pisceans have this amazing pain threshold which I could never keep up with which is why my Pisces relationships often went south.
With my packed 6th house I'm actually more Virgo than Capricorn, and thus discernment is added to Capricornian double checking, Capricorn being naturally cautious and Virgo being analytical and detail oriented.
In Pisces, the last of the twelve signs, which is the threshold to the next dimension...Neptune can lead either upwards or downwards.... I'm reminded of those passages inside the Great Pyramid which end either in the pit, or go upwards to the Queen's and Kings Chamber.

By the way, the Queen's Chamber in my view, represents 1848 and Neptune's Pisces transit back then, and the King's Chamber is 2012, and Neptune's current entry into Pisces. Something I think I intuited, so don't take my word for it unless it really resonates.
Though I have heard of the concept of the passages inside the Great Pyramid representing a calendar, so perhaps I did read it before.
Just my musings...Neptune made me do it.

Neptune Is Going Home!

by Boots Hart, CAP on November 1, 2010


In going direct on November 7 at 6:05 in the morning (+00/UT), planet Neptune will, of course, begin moving to catch up with where it was when it went retrograde late last May. But it will also be doing something else of note. This is Neptune on “final approach” (as fliers say) to its home sign of Pisces. And that’s a big deal.

The last time Neptune spun its big blue self into Pisces, the year here on Earth was 1848. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ending the Mexican-American War, Louis Philippe was abdicating himself right out of a royal French job, the Swiss were putting finishing touches on their constitution (no doubt over a cup of hot chocolate), French painter Paul Gauguin was getting himself born, and both Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell were just then in diapers, Edison no doubt feeling in the dark and Bell already wanting to call his congressman. But alas—as yet there were no phones (hence his need to invent one).

During the 14 years (a fortnight of years, we might say) that Neptune then went on to spend in its home sign of Pisces, wars got fought (the Crimean and American Civil, among others) the speed of light got measured, Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter got written, Steinway began making pianos, rayon went into production (much to the delight of draping designers the world over), Sigmund Freud emerged from his mother’s womb (an event he would contemplate throughout life) and Pasteur proved that fermentation is produced by living organisms.


Charles Darwin was going about publishing On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection as Dickens was penning A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. And just as Neptune was about to resign itself into Aries, Victor Hugo released Les Miserables, R.J. Gatling perfected the gun which would forever bear his name, Jean Henri Dunant came up with the idea for the international relief organization which would become the Red Cross, and much to my future delight, a first skeleton of Archaeopteryx—the missing link between reptile and bird—was discovered at Solnhofen, Germany, this fact surely outing me as a fan of dinosaurs in general….though they would have made lousy house pets, most of them.

Over a hundred years later in a fit of annoyed wondering (read: complaining) about how people haven’t thought through this love of dinosaurs thing, my father (who hadn’t an ounce of sympathy for how scared I had gotten while we had watched a screening of Jurassic Park) said the best thing about having a Tyrannosaurus Rex as a pet would have been that it was one critter which could go out into the neighborhood to find its own dinner.

This I mention because such flights of fantasy are entirely Neptunian. As were all the events which transpired while Neptune was in Pisces. Pisces is about how we feel about our feelings. Steven Spielberg not doubt wanted to evoke a few shrieks and cringes with Jurassic Park—but like as not, he also wanted us to think about possibilities. Along with “I hope,” “what if..?” is one of the big Piscean catch-phrases around. It’s also ardently Neptune, whether we’re longing for romance, yearning for salvation, envisioning some future or imagining some long ago.


Neptune is all humans hold in common, will ever hold in common, our evocative common root factors. It symbolizes our spirit of adventure, the perils which go with that and the foibles of human nature as portrayed on stage, screen, literature, song and the reality of life. Neptune represents the dissolution of boundaries between the known and unknown, whether that leads us to illusions or to thinking outside the box as Darwin, Gatling and Pasteur did. In denying us the shell-like armor of ego it allows us to connect with others and thus and thus write a work like A Tale of Two Cities or think in terms of a world where there would actually be an international relief organization ready to respond to anyone’s disasters.

And yet, in Neptune being the symbolic outcome ruler of Pisces, it’s most about the beauty of emotional flowering or painful angst of despair which comes out of our having comprehended the source of our own feelings, for Pisces is primarily a land of Jupiterian proportion. How well we know ourselves and our ability to accept realities is what sets us up for Neptunian highs and lows.

All this we will experience maximally once Neptune is in Pisces. But first Neptune has to get to Pisces. And yet…these months ahead say a lot and inform us greatly, since what Neptune does now sets the stage from which big brush stroke emotional dynamics will yet evolve over a next decade.

This starts with Neptune going direct at 25 Aquarius on November 7 (UT). There, conjunct the brilliance of a Quasar, Neptune’s position speaks to reactions evoked and provoked as we’re all in flux, floating back and forth about the possibilities of any and every given thing. It’s a moment of societal interest probably born of insecurities we may not want (or be able) to own up to.

The Sabian symbol for this degree is “A garage man testing a car’s battery with a hydrometer.” We are given many a polarity…that between water and acid (the battery) and the relative difference between power and weakness—the strength of power can also be corrosive or even shocking…and yet weakness can be an inability to get anything moving. Too much water (emotion) obviously “waters down” potential, and yet too little emotion creates a dangerously caustic environment. The “quasar effect” here can highlight what can be achieved, what can be scattered by Neptune’s famously infamous fog effect into either inspiration or illusion…or maybe for you, Neptune is just some big giant black “thing” which is blotting out the light.


And to do all this, there is skill involved (the garage man doing the test). Since he is employing his knowledge to do what he is doing, so are we. Are we hiding? Emerging from hiding? Being real? Wearing a mask? Evading some truth? Working the system? Deluding ourselves with ideas of brilliance, or our brilliant ideas?

That part is up to you. Certainly having any kind of fluid as part of this station’s degree image tells us that there is/will be an element of emotionality which will now be exacerbated, exposed…or perhaps purposefully covered up. Sheer frustration can lead to breakdowns and with Aquarius being an airy sign of thoughts, ideas and concepts all things systemic, interpersonal and mental are implied.

With Neptune’s station occurring early on November 7 (UT), station effects begin on November 5 and run through the 9, and woe to those who ignore events which happen now—even though ignoring is a Neptunian specialty. Sometimes it’s just leniency, comprehending that people are people and no one’s perfect (Neptunian mercy and understanding). Then again, sometimes it’s a total Neptunian denial trip—not wanting to see some inconvenient truth you might actually have to acknowledge and deal with.


Because Neptune is going direct while in conjunction with Chiron, there’s also a whole aura of not wanting to deal with things not because we’re nasty, irresponsible or foolish…but simply because we don’t know how to fix the problem or deal with the situation. Of course that’s really just playing weak battery water (to use the Sabian image), and the reality of the problem is that you can be the dead battery or get recharged and get on with your life. Ultimately no one is going to fix us or do what is really ours to do. We either get charged up and get on the road to what we want and need in life or we volunteer to further dissolution of our power and potential while gathering dust in the human junkyard of our own self-disrespect.

Once Neptune is in direct motion, it arrives at 26 Aquarius on November 24, perfecting (strengthening) that Chiron need to make things happen, even though we don’t really know how to get all done. This is necessity as the mother of invention. Despite much scattering and chaos, there is more to be gained here than just putting food on the table. No, the real point of this moment…and in the days and weeks to come (seeing how Neptune will be in 26 Aquarius throughout the holidays and into the first of the new year) is to recognize that merely by doing we learn to do.


Those who get this lesson now will really have been given a great holiday present—and it won’t cost a thing (monetarily, that is) and you can gift it to yourself without guilt. As a matter of fact, give yourself this realization and a lot of overall guilt will be dispelled—and you’ll incur less going forward. All that an no wrapping required? How can you resist? (No, don’t answer that!)

Moving into 27 Aquarius come January 10, Neptune highlights reality while tempting us to remove ourselves from that reality—a tricky combination all about our willingness to diagnose the difference between risking the status quo against investing in the future. With Neptune (and Chiron) now positioned at the midpoint between Mars in Capricorn (the drive to get things done) and Uranus in Pisces (lack of certainty producing insecurity) the real question is how we grapple with ego—the “my” position in all things.

During the four weeks or so that Neptune will be in this degree, the offset between knowing the reality and being able to put aside uncertainty and the “ego effect” of convictions so that positive results can be achieved tests all and sundry, creating a testy atmosphere. Expect much fussing, even name-calling. Those who work to reconsider positions in terms of reality gain ground; those who choose to stand on idyllic platforms find their ground approved of, but not viably supported (or supportive). And this is apt, since ideals aren’t real. Theories must in the end hold real water or be relegated to “longings.” Here Neptune dispels some hopes, and forces others to abandon manipulations, based on preference for workable, functional efforts—some of which will (perhaps much to everyone’s surprise!) turn out to be actual solutions.


Arriving at 28 Aquarius on February 7 in the company of asteroids Circe and Amphitrite, we get another clear picture of Neptune as the symbol of enchantment (Circe) and the bliss which comes of cooperation. The question here being whether the power of sorcery (the ability to lead and direct what happens) is good or bad and whether the cooperation is about teamwork or surrender, we are all likely to experience temptations and all likely to know what we shouldn’t simply succumb to.

Trouble is, this is Neptune we’re talking about. And where Neptune’s concerned, there is this rather strong tendency not to risk, and to go for what makes you happy in the moment despite the fact there will be personal hell to pay not far down the line. You know—when Neptune hits Pisces.


Neptune’s last degree stop in Aquarius this time around begins on March 6—pretty much just as the Nodes have shifted from Capricorn/Cancer into Sagittarius/Gemini, an event which marks the beginning of roughly two-and-a-half years of very big discussions which really should be about workable goals and functionality instead of options, ideas and possible new avenues of exploration. Still, out of such periods do come great advances, and with Neptune entering 29 degrees conjunct Sappho. While there’s a poetic quality to the moment which could be good or bad, Sappho’s well known aura of universality suggests the eliminating of certain personal or group interests, which bodes well. Or well enough!

Twenty-nine Aquarius has a reputation for huge challenges which provide the grist upon which the mentality sharpens its teeth (try that image on for size!). The fact that Neptune enters 29 Aquarius with Uranus at 29 Pisces (conjunct social sour grape juice producer Scheat) warns of turbulent waters.

And from this may come the most important Neptune lesson of all about how humans learn more and learn better through trials and pain than they ever do during good times. In the wonderful children’s book The Thirteen Clocks, author James Thurber puts it this way: “The jewels of sorrow will last beyond all measure.” The jewels of laughter in this tale…? Well, they last but a fortnight. The good and bad of that? Well, that’s the very essence of Neptune, which upon its entrance into Pisces come early April will shift our emotional hopes and anxieties away from their current focus on the greater Aquarian society and onto the very nature of humanity itself…which is maybe where it belongs.

The biggest change happened in the world with the last transit, during the nineteenth century.
Now it's just going to be the second wave, as the spiritualization process really sinks in and individuals will achieve enloghtenment en masse.
The world before 1848 was a world where the fastest form of transport was the horse.
Monarchs ruled, the people had zero say.
Illumination came from candles. Neptune brought the industrial revolution and dissolved the power structures, especially that of the Popes and the Catholic Church. Pope Pius VI was the last Pope who had wordly powers.


That is the short version.

Neptune Is Going Home!

by Boots Hart, CAP on November 1, 2010


In going direct on November 7 at 6:05 in the morning (+00/UT), planet Neptune will, of course, begin moving to catch up with where it was when it went retrograde late last May. But it will also be doing something else of note. This is Neptune on “final approach” (as fliers say) to its home sign of Pisces. And that’s a big deal.

The last time Neptune spun its big blue self into Pisces, the year here on Earth was 1848. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ending the Mexican-American War, Louis Philippe was abdicating himself right out of a royal French job, the Swiss were putting finishing touches on their constitution (no doubt over a cup of hot chocolate), French painter Paul Gauguin was getting himself born, and both Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell were just then in diapers, Edison no doubt feeling in the dark and Bell already wanting to call his congressman. But alas—as yet there were no phones (hence his need to invent one).

During the 14 years (a fortnight of years, we might say) that Neptune then went on to spend in its home sign of Pisces, wars got fought (the Crimean and American Civil, among others) the speed of light got measured, Moby Dick and The Scarlet Letter got written, Steinway began making pianos, rayon went into production (much to the delight of draping designers the world over), Sigmund Freud emerged from his mother’s womb (an event he would contemplate throughout life) and Pasteur proved that fermentation is produced by living organisms.


Charles Darwin was going about publishing On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection as Dickens was penning A Tale of Two Cities and Great Expectations. And just as Neptune was about to resign itself into Aries, Victor Hugo released Les Miserables, R.J. Gatling perfected the gun which would forever bear his name, Jean Henri Dunant came up with the idea for the international relief organization which would become the Red Cross, and much to my future delight, a first skeleton of Archaeopteryx—the missing link between reptile and bird—was discovered at Solnhofen, Germany, this fact surely outing me as a fan of dinosaurs in general….though they would have made lousy house pets, most of them.

Over a hundred years later in a fit of annoyed wondering (read: complaining) about how people haven’t thought through this love of dinosaurs thing, my father (who hadn’t an ounce of sympathy for how scared I had gotten while we had watched a screening of Jurassic Park) said the best thing about having a Tyrannosaurus Rex as a pet would have been that it was one critter which could go out into the neighborhood to find its own dinner.

This I mention because such flights of fantasy are entirely Neptunian. As were all the events which transpired while Neptune was in Pisces. Pisces is about how we feel about our feelings. Steven Spielberg not doubt wanted to evoke a few shrieks and cringes with Jurassic Park—but like as not, he also wanted us to think about possibilities. Along with “I hope,” “what if..?” is one of the big Piscean catch-phrases around. It’s also ardently Neptune, whether we’re longing for romance, yearning for salvation, envisioning some future or imagining some long ago.


Neptune is all humans hold in common, will ever hold in common, our evocative common root factors. It symbolizes our spirit of adventure, the perils which go with that and the foibles of human nature as portrayed on stage, screen, literature, song and the reality of life. Neptune represents the dissolution of boundaries between the known and unknown, whether that leads us to illusions or to thinking outside the box as Darwin, Gatling and Pasteur did. In denying us the shell-like armor of ego it allows us to connect with others and thus and thus write a work like A Tale of Two Cities or think in terms of a world where there would actually be an international relief organization ready to respond to anyone’s disasters.

And yet, in Neptune being the symbolic outcome ruler of Pisces, it’s most about the beauty of emotional flowering or painful angst of despair which comes out of our having comprehended the source of our own feelings, for Pisces is primarily a land of Jupiterian proportion. How well we know ourselves and our ability to accept realities is what sets us up for Neptunian highs and lows.

All this we will experience maximally once Neptune is in Pisces. But first Neptune has to get to Pisces. And yet…these months ahead say a lot and inform us greatly, since what Neptune does now sets the stage from which big brush stroke emotional dynamics will yet evolve over a next decade.

This starts with Neptune going direct at 25 Aquarius on November 7 (UT). There, conjunct the brilliance of a Quasar, Neptune’s position speaks to reactions evoked and provoked as we’re all in flux, floating back and forth about the possibilities of any and every given thing. It’s a moment of societal interest probably born of insecurities we may not want (or be able) to own up to.

The Sabian symbol for this degree is “A garage man testing a car’s battery with a hydrometer.” We are given many a polarity…that between water and acid (the battery) and the relative difference between power and weakness—the strength of power can also be corrosive or even shocking…and yet weakness can be an inability to get anything moving. Too much water (emotion) obviously “waters down” potential, and yet too little emotion creates a dangerously caustic environment. The “quasar effect” here can highlight what can be achieved, what can be scattered by Neptune’s famously infamous fog effect into either inspiration or illusion…or maybe for you, Neptune is just some big giant black “thing” which is blotting out the light.


And to do all this, there is skill involved (the garage man doing the test). Since he is employing his knowledge to do what he is doing, so are we. Are we hiding? Emerging from hiding? Being real? Wearing a mask? Evading some truth? Working the system? Deluding ourselves with ideas of brilliance, or our brilliant ideas?

That part is up to you. Certainly having any kind of fluid as part of this station’s degree image tells us that there is/will be an element of emotionality which will now be exacerbated, exposed…or perhaps purposefully covered up. Sheer frustration can lead to breakdowns and with Aquarius being an airy sign of thoughts, ideas and concepts all things systemic, interpersonal and mental are implied.

With Neptune’s station occurring early on November 7 (UT), station effects begin on November 5 and run through the 9, and woe to those who ignore events which happen now—even though ignoring is a Neptunian specialty. Sometimes it’s just leniency, comprehending that people are people and no one’s perfect (Neptunian mercy and understanding). Then again, sometimes it’s a total Neptunian denial trip—not wanting to see some inconvenient truth you might actually have to acknowledge and deal with.


Because Neptune is going direct while in conjunction with Chiron, there’s also a whole aura of not wanting to deal with things not because we’re nasty, irresponsible or foolish…but simply because we don’t know how to fix the problem or deal with the situation. Of course that’s really just playing weak battery water (to use the Sabian image), and the reality of the problem is that you can be the dead battery or get recharged and get on with your life. Ultimately no one is going to fix us or do what is really ours to do. We either get charged up and get on the road to what we want and need in life or we volunteer to further dissolution of our power and potential while gathering dust in the human junkyard of our own self-disrespect.

Once Neptune is in direct motion, it arrives at 26 Aquarius on November 24, perfecting (strengthening) that Chiron need to make things happen, even though we don’t really know how to get all done. This is necessity as the mother of invention. Despite much scattering and chaos, there is more to be gained here than just putting food on the table. No, the real point of this moment…and in the days and weeks to come (seeing how Neptune will be in 26 Aquarius throughout the holidays and into the first of the new year) is to recognize that merely by doing we learn to do.


Those who get this lesson now will really have been given a great holiday present—and it won’t cost a thing (monetarily, that is) and you can gift it to yourself without guilt. As a matter of fact, give yourself this realization and a lot of overall guilt will be dispelled—and you’ll incur less going forward. All that an no wrapping required? How can you resist? (No, don’t answer that!)

Moving into 27 Aquarius come January 10, Neptune highlights reality while tempting us to remove ourselves from that reality—a tricky combination all about our willingness to diagnose the difference between risking the status quo against investing in the future. With Neptune (and Chiron) now positioned at the midpoint between Mars in Capricorn (the drive to get things done) and Uranus in Pisces (lack of certainty producing insecurity) the real question is how we grapple with ego—the “my” position in all things.

Very good article, Cal, but most of it dealt with 2011. It was written in 2010.
Planets loop their way, they don't travel in straight lines, so Neptune was at 0 degrees Pisces from April until July of 2011, then moved retrograde again, back into Aquarius.
Right now Neptune is moving forward again, and is on the last degree of Aquarius, which means people whose birthday is Feb 18th, or 19th, are going through a real Neptunian period...unable to make decisions as too many options are being presented.
That's the problem with Neptune, he shows us EVERYTHING then says take your pick.
Not an easy thing to do when it's all good.

[Calz]

I copied the whole article for those interested.

It does talk about what happened the last time period Neptune was in Pisces.



The last time Neptune spun its big blue self into Pisces, the year here on Earth was 1848. The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo was ending the Mexican-American War, Louis Philippe was abdicating himself right out of a royal French job, the Swiss were putting finishing touches on their constitution (no doubt over a cup of hot chocolate), French painter Paul Gauguin was getting himself born, and both Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell were just then in diapers, Edison no doubt feeling in the dark and Bell already wanting to call his congressman. But alas—as yet there were no phones (hence his need to invent one).

Astrologer and director of The Green Gathering festival Steve Judd says pretty much the same as you Ulli, from what Ive been reading on his blog the last few months. Anyway here's todays blog from him.....In a weird way, I dont think that 2012 has started yet. Saturn and Neptune are hovering at the very end of their signs, and whilst Jepiter and Uranus are at the very start of theirs, they're not moving forwards quite yet.

I think that the year doesn't properly start, astrologically speaking, until early February, when Neptune finally (and permanently in all of our lifetimes) leaves Aquarius and moves into Pisces. I'm looking at the coming year with excitement, trepidation and above all else, curiosity. This week, and much of January, is a kind of no-mans land of relative inaction, a few mild stumbles but that's all. Many of the planets are either gearing up to move forward, or gearing down to go retrograde.

The energy of the coming few months is definatly with the new Moons, with the one on 24 December on Pluto, the 23rd january strongly sextile uranus and square Jepiter, the 21st February on top of Neptune, and 22nd March on top of Uranus. To my mind the first eleven weeks of the year are a seeding ground, a time of throwing fishing lines into the future to see what you reel in and what reels you in.

That was obviously a short term update for now but he pretty much says the same as you Ulli, in other posts of his on Nep in Pisces.

Been wondering why my inner sense says no work for a while just when I'm in mid-swing with this new approach on the material. That's the problem with the material, and has always been my pet peeve, that everything has its time. Right now, the time is in a holding pattern, I've known it since early last week. Soon the phone stopped ringing, it has not rung in a week now. No matter if I post on Kijiji or not, now is not the time for new work, period. I don't like that much. I have spent a lot of downtime in my life waiting for the right timing - and I always know, without a doubt when it starts and when it ends. So sitting tight, being patient, making the most of my free time.
Wrote my outline for my next book over the weekend. Searching for the proper setting now, and characters if it will be fiction, not sure yet. This will be my tenth book. Well three are poetry and three are not finished. Something tells me I'm not ready for the details of this book yet, maybe another month, I'm told. Now I know why. Neptune is very sneaky...
Thanks for all the info on this very interesting transit.

Something about Scorpio women I find irresistible. They throw off this magic mind-numbing aura and the next thing you know you think you're in love with 'em. Only to find out that she was interested in your buddy - or your ex-girlfriend. Not that that was my experience. But if I fell for a scorpio I'd always make sure I really had feelings for them, and was not just under their spell. And Scorpio men set off my warning signals every time. I often do not feel safe around them but can find no obvious reason for it. Scorpios are mysterious to the Nth degree. Sorry about the non-sequitors. Not sure why I'm posting them. Must be a reason...

Calz, love that squirrely poker metaphor. I'll try to up the ante.

Try as I may (or is that June?) ... best I can do is call your astro b(l)uff.

Hehehehe ... Calz, you're a funny guy. Thanks for giving me a laugh today.

All I have is a link to a site I really like .... astro buffs prob already know it. Robert Wilkerson's Aquarius Papers. He's talking about what's coming up in 2012, and this is part 1 so far. He mentions Neptune's move into Pisces, but has a lot more too. He reminds me (a bit) of Carmody in the complexity of his ideas; I don't always know what he's talking about, but enjoy the read anyway.

Divine's You Think Your a Man (but your only a boy) springs to my mind. Lol

[Ernie Nemeth]

Okay, how bout this one, sappy but nice.

So which Ernie is talking now?
If I were the universe and had to supply you with all your needs I'd get pretty confused.
Being a generous universe, I'm always at your service, at any given moment.
So I heard Ernie needed work, to make money. He himself said so.
So I supply him with work and money.
Next thing that happens is Ernie switches sides and does a rant post right here in the Here and Now thread about the evils of money.
The universe does not forget, it listens and takes notes.
Ernie thinks money is "evil", Ernie does not like "evil", and the universe remembers the rule: to give Ernie only what he wants.
The universe is set up to follow very precise patterns....patterns that were put in place by the all-knowing creator of the universe.
Law of Attraction he called it.

When you know yourself, or should I say, "yourselves", as there seem to be several Ernies....then you can operate at a higher level.
Once you get it clear in your head what money really is, and what you would do with it if you had plenty then it will flow more consistently.
I would start by observing all emotional projections, especially what you term "evil".

[Lisab]

Ernie in my post I was thinking of the Scorpio guys I know hence the Divine song. I do love Scorps though. My brothers a double scorp. Wicked sense of humour and the gals love him but he typically stings himself to death all the time.

Ulli's right in her post about money. I remember your post on money being evil well. Wow you put it right out there! Here's a book you might do well to read..Money is Love by Barbara Wilder. When money is infused with the thoughts and energy of love, it becomes a healing agent. Sometimes I leave five pound notes on buses and in public toilets with a blessing on that says May You Be Blessed With Health, Wealth and Love. Its called the blessed bucks spell. Money always comes back to me. But these days I dont even write the spell on it, just bless energetically and do it fun!

[9eagle9]

I love Scorpio's too.

Scorpios have one weakness and that is a Pisces....(he he). They don't have any secrets with a Pisces.

Unlike you I love Scorpio men (lol) they are secretive. Not deliberately they just keep themselves to themselves. When you call out a Scorpio on their secret keeping they just basically shrug and say," I would have said something if I had at all thought that anyone was interested." But Scorpios can't keep secrets from Pisces...don't even try. And if there is anything that pisses them off....they know that.

While most of my very close friends are Scorpios, I don't interact with Scorpio men much....we're terrified of each other...lol. That is one hot mess just waiting to happen -- that sort of overwhelming attraction is terrifying. It' s just like jumping into a Volcano ...you want to but ....you are just not going to come out of it unscathed if you don't burn up entirely. If a Scorpio mans walks in the room, I have two choices. Sit, shut up and make myself invisible and pretend they don't exist.. or just strip and scream," have me. Sell me into white slavery, STING ME, throw me in the volcano."

Only once did I not hold my ground, and I seen what happened when I didn't. I So for the sake of world peace I lay low when Scorpio men are around.

So we see that a Pisces greatest weakness is the Scorpio.

At least from this window of the world.

I have a strong Scorpio rising and have quite a bit of skin in the Scorpio game. The secrecy thing is very misunderstood. It is more a matter of privacy, a deep privacy. Furthermore the depths of the Scorpionic psyche go so deep that the owner of said psyche may have not investigated the contents fully yet, and therefore it would be highly unfair to expect a discussion, or revelation, of a part of a person's being that is still a mystery to the person themself.

[Lisab]

My brother's a Scorpio and my dad's a Leo. Both are lovers with a long trail behind them. My dad looks a bit like Mick Jagger and worked in the music industry for years. Many a tale. He's now a hermit, mainly thru weed induced paranoia, but me and my sister's always tease him that we'll have our revenge at his funeral...it'll be full of grieving,gorgeous women. Even my girlfriend's fancied him! He was a rotter to my mother!

[9eagle9]

Nope is not fair to invade privacy , that's why I just have to stay away.....

I have a fairly balanced chart with just a smidge over of fire. I can't remember if its in my Jupier or Neptune that is Scorpio and that part of me scares me...hehehe. Most of the secrets we have though are the ones we have about ourselves, that we keep not only from others, but from ourselves.

[silverstar]

I have a really balanced chart. Leo father that I adored and so miss the camaraderie. Pisces mother and Scorpio sister and....oh the games they played with one another. Now, there's a book. And my Leo father is someone who is still talked about to this day because of his independent spirit and varied and talents and intelligence. Colorful family to say the least! Dad used to say government was a wart on the ass of progress. Everyone loved that expression.:o

[Lisab]

Same here Silverstar. Mum Pisces, dad Leo. My dad personality,very charismatic. Alot of people tell me great stories about him. He moved from Wales back to England after him and mum split altho He's the welsh one. Sadly tho my mother ended up very bitter and twisted and I caught the flak as the eldest. Me and my dad were close too.

[1inMany]

Here and now...feeling disconnected a bit from the physical. Just as well...oh, but life is complicated at times, isn't it? I think something is better somehow...hey, maybe it's the theta waves I'm absorbing :)...had a situation come up that could have tied me in knots, maybe it should have. But it didn't, I shed a tear or two, picked myself up, brushed myself off, handled it, and looking back did pretty darned well, and moved on along. All within 22 minutes. That is sooooooooo different. Heads could have rolled if the mama bear had come out, but not really taking the bait today. A bit jittery on the inside, like my insides are plugged in to an outlet. Usually means I'm tired. When I'm tired, I don't typically handle situations like these very well... I suppose I'm thankful that I wasn't so connected. Much more laid back, maybe I'll be reconnected later.

[silverstar]

Mother ended twisted and bitter also, Lisab, but for the life of me I don't know why. She was really quite spoiled by my father. And sister and I did our best to please her, but it never worked. Is this a Pisces thing?:confused:

[Lisab]

No Im a Pisces and definately forgiving. But I promised myself long ago that I would never end up like my mother. Our relationship is slowly starting to heal now, but I left home at 16. I literally ran. Straight to a boy!

[Guest]

Cute puppy! And the forecast for energy healers doesn't sound bad. I don't get why things could get messy, though. Might be because I have never understood astrology. I googled ruling planes and got lots of cool stuff though. I know I'm a cancer, not the selfish kind thank goodness. A while back I was wondering about being a cancer, and was given a message from my Grandpa, long ago passed away, that I simply needed to watch the phases of the moon. What a special thing to receive a message from the most truly loving and kind person I can ever remember. But the message was as clear as mud because I couldn't find any information on how the phases of the moon would effect me. Apparently he knew I would say/think that, because the message was given with a sly smile and a chuckle. Anyway, I digress, I must be ready for the info because I am now finding that very information. Thanks to all for opening up another avenue for me :)
Much Love,

Hi 1inMany,

I wasn't really coming from an astrological point of view but somewhat. I've just spent most of life near the ocean; was born about a 100 yards from the ocean. In many respects it is my second home -i am very at home on or in the ocean or any kind of body of water really. Spent some time on boat crews -i don't get sea sick; have done a lot of water sports and sat on the shores watching the waves, currents, tides and the moon. It's very powerful. One time I was out on a boat in a cove on calm clear day and the next thing I knew, the water became choppy, wind had changed direction and the waves heavy and big. My boat took on water and I had to paddle like mad and jump into the water and swim to shore -luckily i was not to far off shore. I have a lot of respect for the ocean -it can be unpredictable, it's very beautiful and it is very powerful. So this aspect to me Neptune in Pisces.... is creative, mercurial, surreal, awareness, lucidity, plasmic and very intelligent -very easy to explore the Great Mystery within self. Frameworks and structures -what frameworks & structure? When i alluded to "messy" some people will have a difficult time knowing what is real or not -could become a spiritual mess or go with flow -it really is a time to pay attention to what Nature is doing.

The communication you received from your grandfather about the moon is really cool -Cancers are ruled by the moon. Very powerful, the moon influences the tides -during the full & new moon the tides are more extreme; higher, lower, out, in -there is more of influence (a magnetic pull) from the moon & sun on the earth at that time. During spring moons (quarter moons) neap tides occur -the energy is not as strong.

The aspect of Neptune in Pisces - I have a lot of water influences in my chart -scorpio in neptune, cancer in mars & mercury and a very strong pisces house -i think virgo and I was born not too far from the cusp of cancer/leo -first decan leo. Some creative endeavors and some soft martial arts would be good -focus. Also what i have noticed is that i have been moving more into the foreground in some areas of my life, where as before i usually worked more in the background -some shifts are happening.

Love,

Mother ended twisted and bitter also, Lisab, but for the life of me I don't know why. She was really quite spoiled by my father. And sister and I did our best to please her, but it never worked. Is this a Pisces thing?:confused:

Pisces women do become bitter, unfortunately, more often than not. It's to do with the endless disappointments. They think they are here to create heaven on earth, being visionaries, but then find their vision gets blocked by all those guys who want humanity to return to the caves.
If the Pisces female can learn that the real purpose of her life is to develop her identity...as a solid person, without ego, and that through her sacrifices she forms a fine soul substance to take with her when she goes home, and if she can be content with that, then the battle has been won.

[astrid]

Thread moving fast again, good to see. I been trying to post for a while from phone, but keep getting
a no token message, whats what that?
Two longs posts, gone to the ethers, oh well...

[ulli]

Here and now...feeling disconnected a bit from the physical. Just as well...oh, but life is complicated at times, isn't it? I think something is better somehow...hey, maybe it's the theta waves I'm absorbing :)...had a situation come up that could have tied me in knots, maybe it should have. But it didn't, I shed a tear or two, picked myself up, brushed myself off, handled it, and looking back did pretty darned well, and moved on along. All within 22 minutes. That is sooooooooo different. Heads could have rolled if the mama bear had come out, but not really taking the bait today. A bit jittery on the inside, like my insides are plugged in to an outlet. Usually means I'm tired. When I'm tired, I don't typically handle situations like these very well... I suppose I'm thankful that I wasn't so connected. Much more laid back, maybe I'll be reconnected later.

It's worth it in the long run. Emotional reactions are not always desirable, nor do they serve the parties involved. When instinct and emotions are consciously tamed then the inner processes that develop soul energies can start.
Like the processes that make a good wine.

My dad is a Scorpio, mom Virgo, brother Aquarius and sister Virgo. My parent were married for 40 years until my mom died. Although, i felt some deep kindredness with them both -there was always this disconnect with me and the family -i left home when i was 15.


Love

Nora

[Postupdate]

My dad was violent and a heavy drinker and my mom was an emotional neurotic; my sister came in with the dark ones (several) she was lost as a child and as an adult. My brother who was older than me left when i was still pretty young. As soon as I could I left.

My mother and father never really seemed to fit together either -weird.

[9eagle9]

Lol. I'd be inclined to say it was Virgo thing.

Virgo mum, Capricorn Dad. My mother was clearly a sociopath and my father either spoiled her or hid from her. Either way it didn't work.

My father though was the ultimate free spirit, he'd walk out the door and not return for four days and not think there was anything unusual about it. Sometimes he took me with him, other times not. He willingly chose to be a rail bum and traveled all over the world by rail or ship. He was in Airforce, Navy, and Coast Gaurd and probably would signed up for the Marines and Army too if he'd not met my mother. My mother was the worst attributes of Virgo condensed and amplified there was not a single enduring Virgo quality to her, and it wasn't until after they had both died I was able to figure out why those two people who had ABSOLUTELY no business being together got married.

Dad also a Scorpio, its interesting as i was meant to be born on his bday, but i was 6 weeks prem,
so born two days after mums bday instead. Always been fatally attracted to scorpios myself,
usually with disasterous results.Their secrets and my loaded 12 house makes for too many guessing games and dramas, no thanks.
My Scorpio moon has also got me into a fair amount of trouble, lol.

Robert Hand said of Neptune, "It's a real pain in the ass" , as you just can't
predict how its going to influence things. If nothing else its calling for
more openness and willingness to accept any changes that may arise,
that's my attitude anyway to this year ahead.

I haven't found anything interesting to post, so I'll just tell you about my cookery.

Made a vegetable stir fry with onion and celery sauteed soft in olive oil and a pinch of salt which brings out the sweetness of the onions.

Tossed in orange bell pepper, broccoli caps, mushrooms, and nappa cabbage.

Dressed it with mirin (sweet sake wine), tamari soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Yum.

You figured right: you brought them together BEFORE you were born, so that you might have the existence and conditions you needed to become you.

[Belle]

Ahhh, so good to be home. Got a call that my mom was ill after my last job New Years Day....played a wedding, double dip (ceremony and reception), but for goodness sake who wants their anniversary to be on New Years Day...

Anyway, mom is 81 with congestive heart failure, diabetes, arrythmia, high blood pressure but insists on living alone in the family home. One of my cousins stopped by to say hi and found her in her recliner having a great deal of difficulty breathing...seems she had a cold, did nothing about it, and it ended up in her chest. Drove down to Connecticut, got her to the doctor...walking pneumonia. Won't come home with me...won't go to my brothers. So we will be taking turns staying with her until it clears up.

I'm not sure what's going on lately, but I seem to be attracting hawks. A few weeks ago, a hawk landed on the ground not more than 10 feet in front of me, stayed a minute and took off just fine...so I don't think he was hurt. Last week while I was on my deck, a huge hawk landed on a large oak branch that reaches into the backyard. I stared at him. He stared at me, not moving. We must have been like that for a full 3 minutes before he took off. So I attributed the visits to having my daughters yip-yip toy poodle over to play with my dogs...perhaps they thought she might be a tasty morsel...but she wasn't outside when the two events happened. This evening as I was waiting in the parking lot for my husband to get out of work before we headed out to dinner, a big old hawk flew onto the top of a telephone pole perhaps 15 feet from me at the most and stayed there until Bob opened the car door.

It's just plain weird. Then again, I have a friend who has been having the same kind of experiences with owls, so maybe it's not so weird and I'm just noticing it more...being in the here and now seems to do that to the simplest of tasks.

Sounds delightful....

I accidentally left the flour out of my oatmeal coconut cookie recipe over the holiday's and I was amazed they turned out better than before with no wheat....sweetened with stevia and a touch of maple syrup..... two cookies contain a daily maintenance dose of coconut oil.

Then, a few days ago, I learned a gel made of soaked chia seeds is a good egg substitute containing tons of omega 3's.
I have been working on eliminating most of the egg whites from the recipe (still working out the proportions).

Also, experimenting with omelet recipes. 7T of chia gel with 3t powdered egg whites and seasonings makes an interesting omelet (I still use cheese inside). Another work in progress. (Gel: whisk 2T seeds per cup of water, let stand, refrigerate.)

Villagers here may already know all about chia seeds, but it is new to me. :cool:

I "play" in the kitchen 3-4 hours every day ..... wonderful therapy.

[eaglespirit]

Happy New Year Belle...sorry to hear about Mom, wishing the best!

Well...the Hawks presences are a very good thing as far as I am concerned.
Focus, awareness...You are smack dab in the middle of fulfilling something wonderful of higher purpose...just keep Your senses on 'high' alert.

Just giving my simple take on the matter...and I happen to love hawks and eagles : )

Been thinking about how much simpler life could be.
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Simple_living

One of my favorite quotes... think I've posted this before, but gonna post it again.

If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man. The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
Henry David Thoreau

Great quote JB.:love:

Had squash soup and an avocado for dinner. I've cut all meats out of my diet. I'm a type O blood. Any suggestions from the villagers who have been on vegetarian or raw foods diet? I know that type Os are suppose to eat meat but I naturally just stopped pretty much. Felt a lot of heaviness and almost couldn't stand the site of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

And then there are the times they break your heart. Police? Really? Anyone who has a small bit of light to spare, we could sure use it right now :(

[astrid]

You too Rose, i love kitchen therapy its the best.
I have been working at getting my sour dough breads just perfect.

I'm loving the Polish rye one right now, 100% rye flour.
There is a sprouted wheat recipe that goes back 2000 years,
called essene bread, pretty cool, no flour at all. I was amazed
at how it turned out, you can even cook it in a very low
oven so its more raw. And the sprouted wheat is fine for
those that cant normally eat wheat as its full of enzymes.
Its food as its meant to be eaten. Im heading more and more
to eating not only mainly raw but also mainly living foods.

My latest thing is micro greens, one teaspoon of broccoli
shoots has as much nutrient value as a whole head.
One week to harvest, and all year round growing too,
makes so much more sense. I think fasting really set me
up properly with the a more healthy food attitude.
I don't crave anything and I'm eating for all the right reasons.

The empowering benefits have also spread out into other
areas, like I'm very focused and determined to take these
study trips this year, where as before i would have found
reasons to whimp out . It's so apparent that there
is a "right time" for everything. All the "waiting around"
that i would often beat myself up for, was simply because an
idea, or plan was not fully supported, energetically speaking,
at that time.

Even at the exact moment i was posting about my studies this year,
i got an email from my Aussie teacher, about the upcoming year.

9eagle9 - i posted a long rely to your post, and it got wiped on my phone.
Just so you know, i really appreciate your words and your support.
One way ticket yes i know and I'm very much embracing that.
What Carmody was talking about the "being lost" i went through
a few years back when i was doing a major modality search.
It nearly drove me insane, i was surface speeding through so
much material. But i understand that time now, why waste
time getting into depth with things that don't resonate?
So many things lead me to this path, including my last incarnation.
It's certainly not some whim, more a homecoming.
If anything it's more just rediscovering a forgotten history.
And being someone that's always been interested in the root cause of problems,
when i bumped into Shamanic practices it was such a thank God moment for
me, no more searching. Of course its a very broad subject,
and life long apprenticeship, but i like that too, being an eternal student.
Lets face it, are all here for that very reason

The people , group work will be more of a challenge, (but also great learning)
for me than the actual material. And this is why i have been working with my
teachers one on one to establish a connection early. At least they will have
some of an idea of my hurdles, I'm helping them to help me, i didn't
do that before.

My last experience with a teacher ended in tears.
He was a Native American, with a big ego. He sacked me from his
course as i had trouble handing in written work, even though i could
complete all the work orally. I tried to to explain my learning issues,
but he just said i was using it as an excuse. It's pretty standard in
education these days to let those with learning disorders to submit
work in different formats, but he didn't get that. I was really hurt,
because i was working so hard. But it ended up being for the best,
he was just all wrong for me. I gave myself such a hard time after that for weeks .
He was also totally arrogant, things came to a head when he tried to warn me
off working on a certain project that my guides had given me the go head on,
telling me a story how a previous student of his had ended up in a psych
ward for going her own way.
It's interesting that my current "teachers" are mostly all female now.
and, they tell me over and over that your own guidance comes first.
If only main stream education taught that way.

Sorry for the long post peeps. been having tech issues.

I had a really normal childhood. Moms a Leo, dads a Cap. Two younger sisters, oldest Aquarius, youngest Cap. Three dogs, no cats. Three minutes to school, fifteen to the high school. Great big field starting at the back of our house that ran for a mile, right to the edge of town - beyond which was the pond (an old quarry). My best buddy was Gemini and his parents were cool, so did a lot of wee hours talking with the four of us (sometimes his older wacko sister would join in). No subject was taboo. And we explored them all. By the time I was twelve I'd already had quite an education in areas I would never have been exposed to otherwise.

1inMany, ?. Hope all is well?

You are not alone, 1inMany. Been there. My heart goes out to you and your family during this time.

The hardest thing for a parent to realize, at least it was for me, is that their child/children have their own path and their own lessons to learn in this life. All you can do is love them and be there for them.

Not sure I can help...I eat for nutrition and listen to my body. Other than a couple of times I felt the need, I haven't eaten meat in almost three years now, and eat organic fresh fruits, vegetables, lots of nuts and seeds (just love 'em!), homemade pasta, bread without bromide...you get the picture. No GMO's. No sugar. No high fructose corn syrup. No soy...most soy is gmo. No processed foods.

Sounds like a lot of no's, but I've never been healthier or happier than since I've started eating this way.

The best advice I can offer, if I may, is listen to your body...it will let you know what it needs. If you need some meat, get the best quality meat you can...you won't need much. Most people eat way too much meat, thanks to the beef industry lobby.

Hope that helps.

Back in the day, I would have said that those who prey on young people, especially those who leach on to the vulnerable young people, and especially-especially those who twist and torture the mentally ill young people, would have a special reward waiting for them. And, I would have said how glad I am that I didn't have to decide their punishment/fate...and I would have said that these predatory skum should have even been more glad.

Alas, there is no "reward" in the end. So, what do you replace that with? Forgiveness isn't really in the cards today. Empathy for their parents, feeling what their parents feel, has always been a part of me in all my roles-teacher, mentor, parent, coach... Anger doesn't stay with me. So much sadness does.

Everyone will be okay. Alcohol wears off. Broken bones and broken walls are really just things, and they are fixable. The psyche of a child....sigh....is not so easily mended. Tempers, not mine, but tempers can do as much damage when words are red hot swords and spears.

Why am I the only freaking sane person here?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

My mother was (is) uber religious Pisces ... not bible belt nutso ... but quite dedicated and involved. She has been doing volunteer work with inmates for the last several years. Very close to my mother growing up. Not until I left home for college did I ever lose any respect for her (except I didn't like organized religion from the very start and refused to join the church)

My dad was a rather cold Virgo. We were never close ... but no major issues. Did not drink but was a workaholic working 2 full-time jobs (while mother stayed home with the kids ... not unusual going back 50 years or so). Most he shared with me (on a personal level aside from financial support) was he taught me how to play chess and we had fun doing that together (at least until I started to beat him on a regular basis and he lost interest)

:chess:

Anyhoo ... they divorced soon after I left for school. They were going through councelling with a guy from the church. Turns out he swept my mother off her feet and they had an affair. What is it about males working for the church taking advantage sexually of their positions??? But I digress.

This thread is usually so active it is no small task keeping up with.


...

Come to think about it ... I expect that was the first time I ever shared that story with anyone outside of the immediate family ... :)

[1inMany]

The dust has settled, the porcupine has withdrawn its needles. There is no doubt in my mind that it is thanks to you who are sharing with us your gifts. Love soothes the savage beast, and I just don't have that kind of strength. Maybe some day. I hope that one day I will have that kind of strength, but even then I hope you are all there to share it with. Difficult days ahead, I surmise. Still have one daughter yet to turn 13. Of course, she swears up one side & down the other that she won't go there. I believe her. She will have battles as well, she'll just change it up for us so we don't get bored with problems already solved lol.

I'm visualizing the snow where I will live soon. I have never been one for cold, but I do love to watch snow out the window when a pot of soup is on the stove. There is a mulling spice mix that I adore, I put it in simple apple juice on the stove and I could drown myself in it. Can't find it anywhere any more, but I suspect I will when I'm in the clean, cold air sometime soon. There won't be any gangbangers in the immediate vicinity, and there won't be so much chaotic energy.

There will be plenty to do, what with the new garden freshly planted with the seeds I bought...and the horses, and so much to experience. I want a little home, not so small we are stepping on each other, but not massive spaces to get lost in. I love flowers, and I can smell the clean dirt and feel the natural texture just thinking about it. There will be NO fire ants-not allowed. Of course, they will be replaced with the occasional confused snakes and the many, many icky looking spiders. Ewwww. But NO fire ants. Just saying.

Open air....crisp and clean...I can smell it and feel the damp of the morning in my throat. I can smell the hay, freshly cut. I can even smell the horse poo, and that's okay because there will be NO fire ants. I can walk barefooted outside any time I want...as long as I watch for the said snakes & spiders... I can even touch a tree... I can feel the rough bark, it's tough exterior protecting the wise spirit inside. And I can feel the presence of the Spirit, and hear it whisper in the wind.

Here and now...I'm in the country, listening to the silence only snowfall can bring and feeling the snowflakes on my eyelashes. Bliss...

the bird that hit my window was, in retrospect, a young red tailed hawk. my business partner and I were having a VERY serious argument where I actually began to yell. Which is an impossible thing to get me to do. like three times this life, so far.

The moment his email hit my in box, the young hawk slammed into the window, closest to the computer's exact location.

then, when we finished the argument, two weeks later, I was so upset that I said that I would finish this life out with him, but would not work with him again. I was that pissed and upset. The moment I said that..and was in distress at that exact time, suddenly, out of nowhere.. 50-60 or more crows appeared in my backyard and converged on the mother of the young hawk.

She had been hanging around for the two weeks, looking for her young one. They converged on her ....and chased her out of my back yard and completely out of the area. The first occurrence was the one eclipse, the second was the finishing of the series, two weeks later.

Had squash soup and an avocado for dinner. I've cut all meats out of my diet. I'm a type O blood. Any suggestions from the villagers who have been on vegetarian or raw foods diet? I know that type Os are suppose to eat meat but I naturally just stopped pretty much. Felt a lot of heaviness and almost couldn't stand the site of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Love

Nora

I am a type O and have been thriving as a vegetarian for 21 years now. I am hale and hearty. Healthy as a horse or any other animal that almost never gets sick. How about a mutt dog? They don't know what sick is.LOL

The doctor who wrote the blood type book has recanted her thesis. I could have told her she was full of sh!t. Her reasoning was that O's were the oldest blood type. Nice left brained BS IMO.

In closing, diet is personal and emotional. Whatever you eat, think nutrition and make sure you love what you eat. Penance or 'politically correct' eating will 'poison' whatever you eat. Don't forget to bless and charge your food either!

[Carmody]

I did thank my cookies for being right here...

[modwiz]

And then there are the times they break your heart. Police? Really? Anyone who has a small bit of light to spare, we could sure use it right now :(

Not much to go on here 1. I will just say some people have to be removed from our lives. I did it to my mom for 9 years. Some people just can't behave themselves, or can only behave like themselves and need to be kept at a distance. I told friends of mine that anyone who told my mother how to contact me would be an ex-friend immediately. It worked. Self love and self preservation have to be in good working order to maintain the emotional stance necessary to be effective however. Many people just fold because self worth is not strong enough.

[modwiz]

Back in the day, I would have said that those who prey on young people, especially those who leach on to the vulnerable young people, and especially-especially those who twist and torture the mentally ill young people, would have a special reward waiting for them. And, I would have said how glad I am that I didn't have to decide their punishment/fate...and I would have said that these predatory skum should have even been more glad.

Alas, there is no "reward" in the end. So, what do you replace that with? Forgiveness isn't really in the cards today. Empathy for their parents, feeling what their parents feel, has always been a part of me in all my roles-teacher, mentor, parent, coach... Anger doesn't stay with me. So much sadness does.

Everyone will be okay. Alcohol wears off. Broken bones and broken walls are really just things, and they are fixable. The psyche of a child....sigh....is not so easily mended. Tempers, not mine, but tempers can do as much damage when words are red hot swords and spears.

Why am I the only freaking sane person here?!?!?!?!??!?!?!

We, the sane or half sane, are few and just sprinkled throughout humanity. Like the 'mother' of a batch of yogurt ot cider vinegar it is for us to colonize the world. Find allies and remember the pearls and swine meme of Jesus.

And I'm eating those thin German/danish spice cookies, the ones that are about half way to a gingersnap. yum! German soul food.

Do you mean Spekulatius?


http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/Spekulatius_four_pieces_of.jpg/220px-Spekulatius_four_pieces_of.jpg

They are actually of Dutch origin: speculaas

There are several interpretations for the origins of the name Speculaas. It may derive from Latin speculum, which means mirror, and refer to the fact that the images are cut as a mirrored bas-relief into a wooden stamp which is then used to decorate the Speculaas. Another explanation of the name refers to the Latin word speculator which, among other meanings, could also refer to a bishop or St Nicholas' epithet "he who sees everything". Specerij the Dutch word for spice is another possible origin.

They are trays yummy!!!!! With so many wonderful spices, they MUST be good for one http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/lindsey_334/Smiley_wink.gif

yes, exactly that cookie. My mother was born in Flensburg. Almost danish.....

I thought she was born in hamburg, but no, she was born in Flensburg. My grandmother walked out of wreckage the firestorms of hamburg, as the war ended. heavily pregnant. she said they hit a fork in the road and half the people leaving went east(ish) and half went west(ish) Those who went the wrong way were all killed by the Russians - About 50% of the people who walked out of the wreckage of Hamburg. The rest made it to places like flensburg.

It was there, in the third story of a mostly deserted house, that she gave birth to my mother, as the bells wrung for the first time, on the first strike, to signify the end of the war. May 5th, 1945, 8:15am. The REAL end of the war, when the interim government announced to the city of flensburg that..the given moment and time (and the record of the time) was the official notification and the end of the war itself.

Donitz was in control of the German government and he made the announcement formally at that exact time.

Fast forward to the year 2000, may the 5th (5th month, 5th day) exactly, to the hour, the grand cardinal cross in the heavens, was complete. This tells you that this time and date I speak of, that was 55 years, 5 months and 5 days earlier..was indeed the real and true moment in time that signified the end of the war in Europe. As stated, also my mother's birth moment.

OK, the power did not ripple or cut out when I said that. Power lines cross through all areas, so when you produce a temporal ripple/shift in your immediate vicinity, usually you get a power outage or ripple. You get a literal continuity issue occurring.

for example, when we had the whole Charles thing going on, those of us who were asked to vet it, had a private area to chat and speak. well, in that area, I spoke of my er, origins-clearly and plainly. The moment I hit the key to send that, the ripple or shift was big enough that the power to my house tried to go out three times in rapid sequence.

[ViralSpiral]

Wow, thats some history! How far is that book you're writing? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/lindsey_334/Smiley_wink.gif

Its such a pity that my generation learnt so little of our parents history due to their pain......

Only in recent years have we heard little smatterings:- my dad was on the run almost all the war years (he was born 1931). His father had gone before to look for work, and mother with 5 kids followed, walking from Poland to Germany.


Trivia. The other traditional German Christmas treats (aside from Spekulatius of course) are: Lebkuchen and Christstollen.

[astrid]

Love those cookies too Carmody,
a Dutch photographer friend of mine introduced me to them once.
I always had a lot of European friends that taught me alot about
food and cooking. I love that about Australia, we are such a melting
pot here. I don't understand nationalism myself, we are all from
somewhere else.
I remember once in science class, we were
learning about stars and supernovas, how all the elements are
made in stars. I said cool, so we are all from the stars.
My teacher just looked at me as though i was weird.

One's familial legacies can reach out and find one, regardless. If I told you what happened in my life, up to the age of 5, it might cost me my life. I did get a dimensional traveler or tulpa(ish) individual (physical manifestation of remote viewing, possibly) on the property today. They came close, I come close (to speaking) and.... that's about it....

Perhaps now is not the time for more ripples.

Funny you mentioned the power thing.

I take my granddaughter and a friend of hers to school every morning...they have to walk in the dark and cold (this morning the temp was 4 degrees F), so I prefer to drive them and spend at least a few extra minutes with my granddaughter. This morning my alarm did not go off. Woke up, checked the alarm clock and it read 8:34pm...in actuality it was 6:34am and I should have been at her home at that time. Figured we had a power hit, but my clock was the only one in the house that was affected.

Got home, put the coffee on to brew...the coffee maker kept shutting off and on. Turned on the computer...it would go black screen and shut off. Did I mention that the street lights would go out as I drove past them this morning?

I almost always remember my dreams...but not last night. Went to sleep, woke up, no dreams. Connection?

Am I making something out of nothing but a few coincidences? It's just been strange. I've had these kinds of things happen with electricity a few times...I used to say that computers and such would see me coming and have a nervous breakdown! But today it's not stopping so far.

Finally, i find the Steven Spielberg's CAMEO in Brian De Palma's Phantom of Paradise. From 8'07 to 8'10. The man dancing with the stick.
Also, Peter Jackson was inspired by this cameo to "draw" Gandalf for his film. His other inspiration was Modwiz, of course. :)

Yes yes yes, its not the first time that hot mess was blamed on me. ;)



Lol. I'd be inclined to say it was Virgo thing.

Virgo mum, Capricorn Dad. My mother was clearly a sociopath and my father either spoiled her or hid from her. Either way it didn't work.

My father though was the ultimate free spirit, he'd walk out the door and not return for four days and not think there was anything unusual about it. Sometimes he took me with him, other times not. He willingly chose to be a rail bum and traveled all over the world by rail or ship. He was in Airforce, Navy, and Coast Gaurd and probably would signed up for the Marines and Army too if he'd not met my mother. My mother was the worst attributes of Virgo condensed and amplified there was not a single enduring Virgo quality to her, and it wasn't until after they had both died I was able to figure out why those two people who had ABSOLUTELY no business being together got married.



You figured right: you brought them together BEFORE you were born, so that you might have the existence and conditions you needed to become you.

[9eagle9]

Interesting themes, though. . It's not enough to understand spirit; it has to be lived or expressed through and reflecting in our physical lives. Understanding is not the same as expressing one's life force.

People don't have to become spritual we are all born that (save for a few anomalies) the same way we are born physical .

Rejection is an interesting theme since it is a model condition that many many people carry along with abandonment. To allow one's spiritual expression to circumvent the physical , one risks rejection.

By that time you don't care though....lol.

A lot of people who 'practice' spiritality feel dis-invalidated because they are not being understood, or feel rejected. Practicing isn't the same as knowing though. Where we got this idea we had to practice is where we got into the great clusterf**k concerning our inner self. If one stops doing and one's higher intellgience starts re-arranging things in yoru physical life-health, finances, career , living conditions then ...no one has teach anything, practice anything, or risk being invalidated.



Maybe tooooo simple, I dunno. Wot do you feel?

Good morning, Villagers :)
Today ... I will try really hard to open up my little bottle of infinite compassion and hope and love and joy... the one I saved back from just a couple of days ago ... seems like another lifetime ago. I want so desperately to live in that state, enveloped with the light of the universe ... just be in that. This old 3d world is tiresome, interrupting my utopian serenity lol. My gratitude is offered to anyone who has blessed my family with a kind thought or a loving wish, much love to you all on this new day.

[9eagle9]

What I find helpful when I'm "not there' is not waiting for it to be visited upon me, but look at what I'm feeling in the present, to see what is blocking that expression.

I don't do anything with those feelings I just sit there with them till they dissipate--a few minutes. For those who don't do this often and have a lot bottled up it may longer, and one has to do it periodically. A lot of old stuff is coming to the surface. We have been taught to avoid it, resist it or suck it up. Something happens though that higher expression makes the dense crap come to the surface. The same way a drinker will drink, and all these emotions come up. Anger or grief. You know the sorts, we say they can't handle their booze. Actually the spritual essence of whatever they were drinking lifts that crap but...we don't do anything with it in the inebreation. Druids used to use fermented beers and herbs to lift this crap but sat with the person and encouraged them to blow these feelings. I'm not suggesting you reach fo rthe bottle just go into the present and see what your feeling. Adn sit with it till is disipates, don't push at it or resist it or judge it as been less than being in higher expression. We judge the 3d so much it just becomes more real for us. We judge ourselves and our feelings. All this drama we've seen lately is just a unproductive way of pushing ourselves away from our feelings. Like we have to act them out. Acting our our way away from them..when just have to sit with them for a while till they get bored (lol) and leave on their own.

One of my favorite films. Many coincidences or "shocks" with CONTACT. I think that movie could be a little black hole in my time line. :) You take this movie out, the present will be different.

La Grande Bouffe...haha...I saw it several times..it was a favorite of mine long ago.
Now I think it is a bit silly.
Eating oneself to death...as a form of pleasurable suicide.
In a way it was really prophetic, because that is what lots of people seem to be doing.

Oh, and of course, Contact. Even though I'm angry at Carl Sagan for what he said about astrology...but I guess "they" forced him to do that, too.
I saw Contact right after I had my fist UFO sightings in the nineties. and anything that shed light on that subject was welcome.
So, yes, Contact was a great bandaid type of movie at the time.

[9eagle9]

Several years back a 'free energy' device showed up in my automatic writing. Why the least technological person on earth is given this information is beyond me . Technological people want nothing to do with me becaue of my lack of technological savvy ...but yet I am given it away. Much to my surpise when I watched Contact that gimboling gizmo they constructed in the movie was exactly, to a T, the same energy device I was given in my writing--just on a much larger scale. I hope someone sees that thing for what its since I haven't a clue ....(Carmody?) But I am given to know that a few of things, created on much smaller scale, can power a medium house indefinently and the 'non-existent' concept of perpetual motion device is employed in. And that's about as far as I can with the thing without shorting out my right brain.

There's something definently about that movie.

Contact has popped up on Netflix again, I should watch it today while mending horseblankets....

[Ernie Nemeth]

Wow, interesting, Belle.

I cannot go for a walk without shutting down a few streetlights, have done so all my life. Everyone I know knows it's so. They have all experienced it. And electronics do not work predictably around me either. For instance, I have to push my buttons on my cell twice, most often, because it does not respond to my first touch. That's why I use an analogue meter at work - digital meters do not work reliably for me.

What do you think the not remembering your dream might mean? Some nefarious occurance or something?

[Belle]

Nice to know I'm not alone, Ernie. Can't even wear a watch...either the old wind-up or digital.

I mentioned not remembering my dreams because that is unusual for me. Didn't know if it had any significance to everything else that happened or not.

Between the hawks and the electricity thing, odd occurrences seem to be happening all around me. I normally don't mention these things...tend to allow what is to simply be what is...but lately it seems to be ramping up. Been having the kundalini shivers and that "little spinning/purring motor" near my heart chakra that follows the shivers a lot as well, so have been grounding myself as much as possible.

There are so many people here that know much more than I...perhaps greater minds than mine understand what's going on.

[1inMany]

9eagle, wise words, and true.
I'm not suggesting you reach fo rthe bottle just go into the present and see what your feeling. Adn sit with it till is disipates, don't push at it or resist it or judge it as been less than being in higher expression.

But...it's more complicated than that when it's my kids. They have their own paths, but as a parent I am responsible for using any situation that comes up as a teaching opportunity for them and for me it offers an opportunity to show compassion. I allow myself to feel the emotions and sit with them, apparently I only do this after everyone is taken care of...but rest assured I do this. The emotions that become apparent in my self are not as disturbing any more. When I analyze this, it becomes clear to me that what is disturbing for my self is the amount of sadness caused by events ... involving my own children or family primarily, but when I do not stay insulated from the world that includes anyone I allow in. The other thing that is disconcerting is that...I don't know if this will make sense but I can describe what it feels like...I am mosying along, whistling my tune, vibrating at some certain frequency (unknown specifically), and just kind of being and becoming, minding my own business, not causing problems for anyone, trying to help in any way I can in all situations, learning all kinds of new things, and allowing my light to shine. Along comes an external stimuli and it aggravates me that I'm being pulled to a different frequency (unknown, but lower) to handle some 3d ****. And what I feel is ..."grrrr"... then I feel sadness for what is happening and also great compassion for those involved, but also helplessness because I realize I can't (nor should I) jump in and just "fix" things for anyone. I have a hunch that my frustration posts are closely related to the "grrr factor."

What I'm trying to say, I guess...although I do ramble on, so I'm just as likely to confuse myself as anyone reading this...is that I'm the consummate nurturer. I love that about me. It brings uncomfortable emotions, and those I seem to get through. The tightrope I walk as a nurturer involves a very intricate dance of balance between... allowing mistakes while setting limits-according to each path, helping others and remembering to allow the flow through myself rather than becoming depleted, teaching while not creating dependence, on and on the dance goes.

There's where I am this morning in the here and now. Well, all that...and I might throw in very tired. Thanks for throwing that into the mix, 9eagle, everything is shared for a reason.

Much Love,

Thank you for your suggestions about food. I think I am working through some of my thoughts & habits around food -rearranging myself and I can feel a lot of fear energy releasing -so this is very good; sometimes have these little freakout moments with it. appreciate you guys.

Like Water For Chocolate -beautiful movie watched 4 times couple of times without the subtitles. Life is love.

Got up this morning enjoyed a cup of coffee as the sun rose -thinking about the day..... go turn the computer on; makes some breakfast, take care of bills, make some phone calls....nothing unusual. Went inside to turn the computer on and it was already on......

Love

Nora


Good to see you Dan -happy new year

Ran across this and thought of you, 1inmany...

"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...
it's about learning how to dance in the rain."

[Carmody]

...OK, the power did not ripple or cut out when I said that. Power lines cross through all areas, so when you produce a temporal ripple/shift in your immediate vicinity, usually you get a power outage or ripple. You get a literal continuity issue occurring.

for example, when we had the whole Charles thing going on, those of us who were asked to vet it, had a private area to chat and speak. well, in that area, I spoke of my er, origins-clearly and plainly. The moment I hit the key to send that, the ripple or shift was big enough that the power to my house tried to go out three times in rapid sequence.

Funny you mentioned the power thing.

I take my granddaughter and a friend of hers to school every morning...they have to walk in the dark and cold (this morning the temp was 4 degrees F), so I prefer to drive them and spend at least a few extra minutes with my granddaughter. This morning my alarm did not go off. Woke up, checked the alarm clock and it read 8:34pm...in actuality it was 6:34am and I should have been at her home at that time. Figured we had a power hit, but my clock was the only one in the house that was affected.

Got home, put the coffee on to brew...the coffee maker kept shutting off and on. Turned on the computer...it would go black screen and shut off. Did I mention that the street lights would go out as I drove past them this morning?

I almost always remember my dreams...but not last night. Went to sleep, woke up, no dreams. Connection?

Am I making something out of nothing but a few coincidences? It's just been strange. I've had these kinds of things happen with electricity a few times...I used to say that computers and such would see me coming and have a nervous breakdown! But today it's not stopping so far.

My experience is that the universe is being extra careful so that you go into a critical decision making point or day, with no false (too much knowledge) support. For dreams are allegorical tales of our coming experiences (from my personal experience in these matters) and of our spiritual associations in astral realms.

You might be undergoing some fine tuning in your timeline so electrical items could experience failure. 'realists' would write it off to electrostatic charge change, ie lower humidity, power fluctuations and possibly weather temperature changes due to seasonal aspects..but the nature of emergent reality is that like the dream it ALWAYS forms from formlessness INTO something that is stable in THIS 'conscious' frameworks.

This is why the 'scientist' can find the exact descriptors and answers for a linear minded and 'ground pounder' shaped scenario. At the same time they can completely fail to understand that the ramifications of the personal frameworks is what literally frames their experiential 'frameworks' of reality.

to put it more plainly: scientists who do not believe in physic energies or dimensional timelessness and formative aspects of matter/energy....they can conduct experiments in psychic phenomena and have them fail, every time.

Those scientists who DO believe in and KNOW of the reality of psychic phenomena..they can do the same tests and the same experiments in as strict or even stricter protocols..and have the experiments work 100% of the time.

This clearly illustrates the effect of the formation of time/space-matter/dimensions as coming from and involving the viewer or experiencer as a DIRECT case of DIRECT and full involvement.

Never, never, never allow anger to grow and then toss it around at other spaces or places, or at yourself. Same for fear. Do not project or live within fear. for it will literally become you as a reflection of reality.

Our problem comes when we try to understand this as a full and constant state of awareness. since energies are collective and can and are amplified by the collective and permeate our selves and those around us....those who do NOT understand these things, their ignorance on these matters WILL force such clarity FROM your mind. This, as a collective push from all around you.

since those who are aware are few and far between, those people are going to have to deal with the unconscious push from all others.

Your only break is that they do it unconsciously, so they don't directly attack. UNTIL you raise their ire and their collective unconscious will then attack in some form. besides any personal and individually created direct attacks.

I was doing something in my dreams last night too is why I asked, cannot remember anything about it though. Woke up with a sense of, not great accomplishment like in a victory or something, but that some kind of big meeting or exchange of info or just general communing had occurred in some alternate arena. I don't know. I felt satiated, not depleted but rooted. Calm.

Doing a lot of introspection at the moment. No strong emotional attachment in any direction that I can find.

No, there is the issue of money. Investigated that last night while out on my walk (it was freezing cold here, -25C, -13F?) and there is a charge from way back when I got my first job after high school. Window tinting was my game, cars were my specialty but I did a lot of condos too. I was riding my motorcycle (Yami 500) with a four foot ladder, bucket, squeegie, and assorted supplies strapped to the back (I'm really good at tieing things down now, by necessity, hehe). My boss was a young entrepreneur with the dream of making it big. In my naiveté, I told him I would be a millionaire before him, and meant it. I had the talent, I was smart, it would be easy, I surmised.
Soon, that innocence was shattered, as I learned the sad reality of our world.
Sad reality? Hold on a minute...back up. What sad reality?
And then it poured out, a false belief based on earlier negative experiences, family issues, and my own bubbling emotional state at that time. A string of bad luck, lousy timing and teenage woes, coupled with a sudden reality check (could it be called culture shock?) led me to conclusions that were not true. Interesting how I almost fogot all about this episode while on my walk last night.
And then the sense of having dreamed...something different or unusual.
Just saying.

By the way, the phone will ring because it must, I'm not concerned, did not mean to make it sound otherwise.
And I am physically moving towards the money, on purpose and with intent, so no worries.
Geeze, as I know from previous years, most people are still getting over their New Years Eve hangovers...

Thank you Ernie. You triggered me to remember my dream last night after reading your post. For the last several days, I have had heavy dreams, but not one snippet could I bring back in to memory after awaking. It wasn't until this morning that I was able to recall nearly all of my dream. Here it goes:

I was in a large theatre hall packed with people and a performance was about to begin. I remember specifically this being in my hometown on the college campus there. The theater does not exist in reality but I knew the theater was located on this particluar campus. In reality, his college is an über-southern baptist christian college, though I don't know if that is significant or not. Before the show began, I was introduced to a wildly flamboyant, red-headed, bespectacled theater director who was in charge of the show. She was dressed in a colorful, loose-fitting silk dress. She was quite assertive and spoke her mind, spouting directives at everyone. I volunteered my services to her and she gave me things to do. Very soon, the performance began. A french ballet began, all the dancers in seventeenth century garb; or at least the singing was in French. I wasn't really a fan, nor was I dressed to mingle with the crowd serving drinks, so I volunteered to go below and behind stage to help with the work. The next part of the dream led me through menial tasks which I performed dutifully; toting this, moving that, adjusting lights, etc. While performing one task, I continued lower and lower underneath the building until I came to a well-lit, but extremely steamy cellar where I saw men and women naked or with towels on. I realized that this was a Turkish bath. Odd, I thought, below this theater, on this college campus.

Finally, the ballet was over and the actor and actresses filed behind stage, partaking in the afterglow festivities of the post-performance. After disrobing, many of the performers were led by the red-headed Director lady, loudly running her mouth the whole way, down to the Turkish baths. Curious, I followed, but seeing what was going on, apparently an orgy, I decided I didn't want to be there. From there, I walked up the steps to the very top balcony. There, I found my father and some of my good friends along with a few strangers. All of a sudden an orange tabby cat, scared to death, half starved, began terrorizing everyone. I chased him, and grabbed him by the scruff and he turned on me and scratched and bit me until I was able to put a stranglehold on him where he wouldn't bite or scratch me: his neck and front legs in my right hand and his rear legs in the left hand. Puss and snot were coming out of his mouth, ears, and eyes, and blood was all over me. My father said, "You know that cat has rabies?" I said, "It appears that way. Let's take care of him first and then I'll take care of myself."

I always carry at least one white linen or cotton handkerchief in my back pocket. I had three in this dream. While holding the cat, I asked my father to remove them from my back pocket, wrap two around each of his front paws, and then the last one around his head and eyes. After doing so, the cat relaxed, and I was able to set him down. That was basically the end of it, as we left the balcony and theater all together.

Strange.

Ernie,

I share your frustration because I know my money situation is my own crap. I resist money. I don't feel like I should need it, and I get pissed when I do. Granted I don't need a lot of it, by some miracle I can very well manage myself, 19 other entities, on 325 a week and still stash some under the mattress and still maintain my glamourous lifestyle. (ha ha) But I have to start loving it more. As convenience if nothing else. It becomes easier when you do. When I get excited about getting money more comes in (even though it goes right back out again).

I know its frustrating, I'm working with someone who helps people like me to find the people who need me and I've spent all day passing photos of myself that are returned as wrong, for the purpose. I'm supposed to honest and dependable looking and instead she says it looks like a photo of the grinch that stole Christmas about to poach someone's husband.

I can't do this, I have to have help with it. It easier for me to get other people to do it than it is myself and it holds true for a lot of people.

Strange.

The basement represents the lower chakras, where everything seems as it should be.
The problem is on the upper balcony, which represents the head area, or your intellect. Finding father there is also normal, as he represents the government, the higher self...but it's that kitten, totally starved, and wild, untamed, that gives concern.
It represents an area in your education, perhaps, that was left blank.Perhaps since cats represent domesticity and comfort it could mean that your subconscious is starved in that area.
The white cotton handkerchiefs represent purity and cleanliness, so perhaps you need to dress or wrap your mind in some mental impressions that
calm you down.

Thank you, Carmody.

Because I tend to normally allow these things to be, figuring that at some point the universe will reveal its intent, I've never spent much time attempting to understand what was going on. This time feels different, more intense.

You've added a much needed clarity and an understanding that once spoken, becomes a 'slap on the forehead, "of course that's it"' reaction.

Thanks Tom!

[astrid]

Really noticing so many internal changes now.
The path for me has just opened up for all the things
i have been trying to do for ages.
In retrospect, me moving on things any
earlier would have been a total waste of time
as i didn't have the right attitude,
nor supportive energies.

I called the kennels today to board my dogs
for the weekend i will be away.
And really its a trial to get them
ready for me being away for longer, as im coming home both nights.
It's meant to get easier for them if they have been before.
If Louis is still not well, i will split them up, and get someone to
house sit with him, and just board Ozzie.

I'm visiting the kennels on the weekend to
check out their set up. They have indoor kennels
which is good, and my Vet said they have had no
complaints about them. I have to be confident that
they will be ok, else i will be stressing the whole
time i am away.

Been giving Louis Ormus twice a day,
and noticing he is preferring to sit in the garden,
its like he is grounding himself, which makes
sense. Animals know so much intuitively,
much more than we give them credit for.
I'm also giving him fresh raw meaty bones.
I have a theory on feeding the same body
parts he is showing a weakness in.

Not looking forward to leaving them, but its all good,
more lessons in detachment. If it all goes well it really opens
me up for future traveling and adventures. So fingers crossed.

[astrid]

The money issue I'm still trying to untangle myself. It's so loaded
with parental, societal, and ancestral programming that its
so hard to know where to start. I don't subscribe to the money
is evil mythology that has been feed into the consciousness of
many lightworkers. And i have talked about that a bit already,
its usually falls on deaf ears and it brings out the trolls.
I always get by, always have want i need when i need it,
in fact i seem to have a real gift in making money,
which i could use to help so many people.
The problem is i have absolutely no drive when it
comes to money, its a real puzzle to me,
and one that i would very much like to solve.
It's on my list as something
to untangle this year.

[1inMany]

Here and now...glad I got a catnap because it's been a late night. Have given much of my self today, am tired but not to the level I would expect. Maybe I really am getting stronger. That would be so cool. Feeling that all is as it should be with my girls. I love them so much, and I'm thankful that sometimes everything works out, sometimes I am able to provide just what they need in their hearts. The connection is surreal.

She should have been so sick today, actually probably for a couple of days. But I placed just a certain rock under her pillow, and she didn't have a headache when she got up. She should have been sick, really sick...but in the middle of the night she felt a very firm touch on her back and was immediately relieved of feeling any sickness. She's got peeps. :) And, when you have peeps that love you unconditionally, it's only a hop, skip & a jump over to loving yourself unconditionally. I will do what I can to help her travel the distance...even if I have to kick her butt over it :)

Tonight I was talking to my daughter about her guardian angel, since it isn't the time for introduction to higher self (which is how I kind of equate guardian angels I guess). As I was talking, I could easily imagine a pillar of light reaching to her from above her head. Sometimes I can't decide whether my imagination is really good, or whether by some unexplainable force I am able to see something that's not even there, not really visible...hmmm, always leading to... is that real? Haha, I laugh at myself, what is real? Discussion for another day. She is smiling and full of hope, as all young people should end every day. Tomorrow, younger one is back to school. Tonight I tucked her in, such a rare occurrence as they get older. I always get my sugars & hugs, but tucking in is a special occurrence. School means more dealings with people outside this teensy tinesy safe zone. Ick. I think I will have to find a special rock for her purse in the morning. And a new one for myself, since older one has decided to keep mine lol.

Hearing the hum of the space heater. Same old rug on the floor, same tick tock on the wall. Some tension in my head and neck. Looking forward to the new music & theta combo tonight. Wishing to all a good night's sleep :)

Much Love,

[astrid]

1inMany , i have one guide i work with that likes to place a hand my back also.
He is one of my healing teachers. Sometimes he appears for others to if i ask him
to assist me, and they report the same touch in the same spot, even when i don't
say anything to hint at his particular signature.
It's so cool when you get those physical confirmations.

[1inMany]

Astrid, that is so cool. It used to bother me that everyone around me hears and sees and experiences things that I don't, but I decided that's it's pretty freakin' awesome that it's happening all around me whether I know it or not :) If he can do that, do you think you will be able to also?

[astrid]

Sure, but its usually me being " worked through" as the vessel,
rather than my consciousness per say, Although that said,
i do send my consciousness out and about also.
It just depends what the situation is.
I can't predict how the other person is going to
perceive the healing. Sometimes i get huge energy and guide
action and they feel nothing, and other times i feel nothing and
they report amazing visions, so you never can tell.
I often find the more powerful experiences are with those
i have been working with for some time and have established trust and
a open channel.
I'm still figuring out why i have some many spirit helpers.
Sometimes i even have to send some of them away as it gets confusing.
And after all this time i still have trouble believing it all, maybe that's what keep
me so grounded. That and not being attached to the outcome, i just send them in
where ever help is requested and then let go. Sometimes i think i'm too detached,
as often i forget the whole session by the next day, and i don't ever think to call/ email
the person to see how they are doing.. Some would probably think me rude.
But its being totally in that moment, the present that makes it all work so well.
So in a way we are designed to forget .

And frankly the not knowing full details is great to keep the ego in check.
Why I constantly referring to myself as the vessel through which the healing
takes place, not the healer. It stops people from placing me on some sort of
pedestal too, which i absolutely shy away from.

I try and get them connecting up with their own guidance and when that is done,
I'm pretty much out of there and on to the next job. Go direct always.

Thanks for talking about your spirit helpers, Astrid. It's helping me connect with mine. I have to ask them for some favours do do with my family in Barbados.
That little island is full of lost souls who need to be told to stop bothering the living. It has to be the most compelling place in the world as far as alcoholism is concerned.
But I also want them to learn some lessons rather than have spirit helpers come and save them from themselves. The only thing is when it comes to heavy drinking there is nothing left in the brain to learn lessons with. Alcohol has a way of convincing the victim that no other medicine works, while dragging them deeper into the sickness. And the process is so gradual that it's hard to tell when it gets to a point of no return.
I guess the best attitude for me to have is to keep my own worries in check while asking the guardian angels to secretly turn all that wine into harmless water.
Strangely enough, some rum bottles have been discovered that had tea in them, instead of rum...but that wasn't placed there by the guardian angels.
The other thing about steady drinking is that the happy drinker after a while becomes a morose drinker, and after a little more becomes an angry drinker and that is when the real problem begins. So at that point it would be cool to get a little miracle injected to reverse the process. May the light pierce the veils.

[Marianne]

Talking about spirit helpers. When I lived in New Hampshire, I took an herbal apprenticeship and spent a lot of time around amazing people who regularly saw and felt things I was not able to. But I was given what I needed in my life, and came to accept it as perfect for me. People experience their guides in different ways (I experience mine mostly in a feeling, which I was discounting at first).

There is an excellent way most anyone can actually experience the feeling of unseen energies, and that's through Reiki. When a person becomes attuned to the Reiki energy, one or more guides come to help that person to share the energy with others.

In giving a reiki treatment, sometimes the person receiving it would think I had three or more hands, because they still 'felt' the pressure and warmth of my hand in a place on their body, after I had lifted it and placed it somewhere else. It sounds a bit freaky talking about it, but I never had anyone upset about it, because Reiki mellows you so much, and it just seemed natural at the time. It helps people believe in unseen energies (energy flow, guides, guardian angels, all these things) when they feel it happen to them. It helps the Reiki practitioner (one who has received an attunement) believe too, if you are new to it.

I can easily do a Reiki attunement by distance. If anyone wants one, I am honored and happy to share this with you. Just PM me. If you are not familiar with Reiki, do an internet search and you'll find lots of info.

[astrid]

The problem with addicts is they lack personal power.
My brother is a drinker and its constantly justifying and blaming
the rest of the world for his issues. Its frustrating, but i have not
been given the go ahead to do any work on him, so i just have to
sit back. I think his partner will probably leave him soonish,
why i cant block that cause and effect train line.
Hes adopted and has a lot of baggage from that also, he still hasnt found his
natural mother, but he has been talking about it for years. He even has her
name and address. But power loss puts him in a state of being stuck. He is
also aggressive towards me when i try to hold up a mirror to his life,
so I'm pretty much given up dealing with him in the physical, unless i hear
that he has hit the bottom I'm sitting back. Yes always a crowd of negative
entities around addicts, it's why they attack you.

[Lisab]

When I had my reiki attunement I thought my teacher had flicked me on the nose at one my point! Of course it wasa guide stepping in. Im only level 1 as I wanted back up for my anxiety after my post natal episode, which was a major catalyst to my healing process. I use it on myself mainly but also the fam. My little one loves it. He asks me for reiki and he's asleep before Ive even got to his mid chakra area. I should go for my level 2.

Astrid thanks for Tom's updates. I love it when he giggles, he's like a little child its infectious. He's reminded me to get off my ass and start my kundalini yoga again. Ive been reallhy lazy lately.

[eaglespirit]

Once again, great sharing in these 'here and now' halls...thank you all !

My workaday dissolved today, the friend I have been helping out has unexpected back to back business meetings this morn...will be doin' the 3d dance friday and saturday...sooooo here I be : )

Been gettin' peripheral light play more than ever lately...to people that are aware of my 'happenings' I just tell them my lights came on again, haha: ) Always get a smile in return!

[ulli]

Several nights in a row I've been waking up with a brief glimpse of a candle on a candle stick somewhere in my bedroom, a hallucination,...around 3 am.
Last night there it was again, and was a clearer image- the stick was white porcelain and the candle was yellow, and I got a clear perception that these were the Vatican colours.
Now I've never been raised as a Catholic, although my husband has. We both converted to the Baha'i Faith independently during the 80s, several years before we met at a Bahai meeting. Neither of us practice any religion now although in private we talk to our maker.
So where is this coming from, I wonder?
My in-laws are very strict Catholics, so could it be they are worried about our souls and manifesting these "signs"?
I'm not attracted to the Catholic Church at all...if anything, I was feeling sorry during the Christmas holidays for all the younger nephews and nieces in the family who are being obliged to attend mass.
Well, at least I'm not waking up seeing Swastika flags flying...hehe...but then again, what's the difference? Mind control is mind control.

No idea except to take notice of the time period around 3am that Carmody mentioned earlier and I added a great many of the (alleged) UFO abductions take place close to that time period as well.

Believe in coincidences???

Didn't think so.


*** adding ***


As every astrologer will attest to ... events don't happen at the stroke of midnight.

The effects of Neptune going into Pisces isn't akin to an on/off switch ... the energies are starting to build prior to the actual event. With a 14 years event of this nature no doubt we are starting to feel the effects.

Good point. I definitely felt I was being targeted somehow. Didn't feel any hostility vibes, though.
Nothing like those psychic attacks I got during the Charles days.

Brutal night at work last night so not feeling playful ... will dispense with the images and quips.

I will echo eaglespirit in calling attention to other material of interest from Gilliland (this one more on the prophetic side):

@ Calz

Neptune is the one that causes visions, for sure. Even if a person isn't born with many Neptune factors in the birth chart...(or 12th house, or Pisces, which all amount to the same thing)
when Neptune gets within one degree of the Ascendant, or it's opposition, or square aspect, you can be sure that inter-dimensional gates start to open.
I had a ton of those incidences around the year 2000/2001, while Neptune, who was then in Aquarius, opposed my Leo Ascendant.
Then I had many amazing UFO dreams, in which there was always a sharp distinction between visiting UFOs and man-made earth UFOs.
The visitors were more silvery in color, with a dolphin-like appearance, and had smoother features.

Hmmm, last night when I was getting a purple and a pink candle to burn on the newly reconfigured and slightly more childproofed altar inside the house, my son reached in the chest and pulled out a yellow candle. So, I took him outside and and placed it on the candle holder outside, where the long succession of white candles burned outside yesterday had dripped down and effectively covered it over with white.

Well, well well, how amazing. And how comforting! If it wasn't our own Purple Lama!!!!!
Thank you, dear Lama! I'm impressed, but even more so that I had the "eye" to perceive it, considering the distance.
Looks like I'm entering another awakening phase...just when I was getting worried about complacency.

[Lisab]

Ive been having the witching hour wake up call for the past few nights. Im very careful to monitor my thoughts around this time. Great for time for manifesting.

The problem with addicts is they lack personal power.
My brother is a drinker and its constantly justifying and blaming
the rest of the world for his issues. Its frustrating, but i have not
been given the go ahead to do any work on him, so i just have to
sit back. I think his partner will probably leave him soonish,
why i cant block that cause and effect train line.
Hes adopted and has a lot of baggage from that also, he still hasnt found his
natural mother, but he has been talking about it for years. He even has her
name and address. But power loss puts him in a state of being stuck. He is
also aggressive towards me when i try to hold up a mirror to his life,
so I'm pretty much given up dealing with him in the physical, unless i hear
that he has hit the bottom I'm sitting back. Yes always a crowd of negative
entities around addicts, it's why they attack you.


Astrid, about your brother....
Are you sure non-intervention (because he hasn't asked for it) is the only way to go?
If he has no power, how can he even give permission?
There have been times when I was so sick that if my husband had asked my permission to administer meds I would have been incapable of responding.

Anyway, I'm going to ask spirit to shoo away the dark entities that seem to be besieging a cherished member of my family right now.
Actually, I already did.

To follow up on Ulli's thoughts, Astrid...sometimes that really, really tough love approach works with addicts. If they are approached in a sit down confrontation with a group of very close family and friends and are really told like it is and how they are directly affecting/infecting the lives of others it sometimes works well And it is good to have someone around with good strong sobriety that is respected in the circles of community that can follow up with an aa/na doctrine...90 meetings in 90 days and so on.
On the other side of the coin ...if he has a friend that does not drink to an extreme and is still in his life, well...taking him out and having him drink a fifth of jack daniels in a sitting...or simply being there with him at home drinking and continually putting another drink in front of him and saying "c'mon, is that the best you can do? Is that all you can handle?" I mean...if it is made so blatantly clear what they are doing to themselves by someone that still means something to them...it sometimes works. It just comes short of 'hey, why not just do yourself in and get it over with'.
I have experienced intervention, and like anything else in the 'tough love' spectrum...it has to be rather intense. And a caring/strong sober person
must be there to help through the swim upstream for a while. Just my 2 cents or so.

And bye the bye...great to see you Purple Lama : )

[Ernie Nemeth]

Hi folks.

Got a call from a friend yesterday. Wanted to link him to some stuff I'm working on but I'd rather introduce him, then I can't get personal, though.
His name is Stan Endersby, he's a guitarist from the old hey-day in Toronto, along Yonge Street. A documentary has been done about the era and he managed to get his fair share of the limelight, an issue of his from way back. He phoned to catch up and to tell me of his success. Just last month he played a gig with Ronnie Hawkins. He knows all the people from the old days like: Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchel, Robbie Robertson and others. Anyways, here's the link to part of the documentary, Stan comes in towards the end a bit.
Oh, and by the way, Stan is an amazing guitarist...

[astrid]

Ulli yes I'm sure . If I want to go in and don't have
dirsct permission I ask a persons higher self .
Sometimes I get the ok sometimes not . Iearnt the
hard way that just because I see a problem doesn't
mean it's mine to solve . In fact sometimes it will
be stopping them from learning what they must
fully and completely thus they are stuck in the
cycle even longer because of my intervention .
So these days I'm very careful to make sure it's
Indeed my job . We want people empowered and
back on their best feet not being dependent on us .
My brother is very much on the top of my list but
until I get the go ahead me jumping in will just be
making a bigger mess . His partner and child a
different story they are both under the highest
level of protection from his lower vibratiionals .
I have to respect the path of a souls evolution
no matter how frustrating and difficult it is to
watch. I don't write the contracts of others
If I'm having trouble witnessing something
that's my problem and I work on my attachment
to the situation. If I find I'm too attached to a
task I call in outside help to get clarity . Like
with Louis. And although Louis is " just a dog"
I know this is training for much greater things .
He has serious power loss himself which was
meant to have been already resolved via
outside help. If Something is " bounced back "
to me it means one of a few things. Maybe
it's my job to solve or may e I'm under attack
through him. I have to get clarity on this ASAP .

The contrast between the two dogs is really
interesting, right now I'm looking at the config
of both of their energy structures to see what
I can learn. it's facinating stuff .
And power loss being the theme Louis could
even be training for my bro .

speaking of waking at 3 am.........my husband and I have been having a really difficult time sleeping the last two weeks or so ......sleep is something Im usually very good at! but its hard to fall asleep and we wake up quite a lot.......my 25 year old daughter has been having terrible night terrors too......she lives with her boyfriend and she is waking up screaming and crying.....anybody have some good suggestions for dealing with night terrors? a lot of them seem to involve FEMA camp type situations...... I suggested she spray lavender and put on some relaxing hemisync type music to sleep to, perhaps a smudge stick for the apartment as they've been there less than a year. sorry if this is not the right place to be asking......

Earthangel this is definately the place to ask, so dont worry about that! I think you've already given your daughter good advice. Smudging is probably the way to go, surrounding herself in a white or golden light maybe. I reckon the dark ones are probably amping it up right now. Their so scared! Purplelama any crystal advice for night terrors! Actually I just remembered...amythyst!

Sorry your daughter is having trouble. The use of lavender, music and smudging her space are great things to do. The use of cedar, sweetgrass and sage are good to use in combination.

This reality is a conceptualized reality. This 3 dimensional earth plane reality is a dream..... there are those in the 3d earth plane reality that would like to control the dream.... conceptualize (create) the illusion of control, fear, suffering, pain, destruction, war and scarcity thinking....etc . These persons and entities need us -our attention- to enforce the dream make (assemble) it real seem real) but it's a lie. It doesn't exist, but they want you to think it does -because they want to control something that doesn't exist. Control does not exist; it's an illusion. So these entities/humans with intent create an energy (fear, war....etc) impose it on us -then we agree with it or believe it; we think it's real; it forms into the collective- now we are enforcing the lie -their lie-that is not ours or real.

We can change the dream....by not believing the lie and not going into fear-it is not real. We have abundance (enough), love, peace and beauty....etc. Whether we are dreaming in an awake state or sleep state, we can create workable spaces with ourselves and ask our own spirits and helpers to create a world and live in a world where there is beauty, love, peace abundance...etc is the expression -this is who we are, what the world and universe are. We can actualize this within ourselves and express it in the world -create a different dream.

Here are some threads to read if you haven't.... Wade Fraizer's "A Healed Planet" and Carmody's Lithium thread , there are a lot more on the forum...also i'll send them to you as i think of them.

Ulli, Carmody and Modwiz can explain this better than I can and probably give you some suggestions to help your daughter. And everyone else on this thread too.:)

Here and now...eyes are reallllly burning...have been wanting to sleep and trying to sleep alllll day...mind would not shut off. Hoping it will now. Looking around online I saw a house that was oddly perfect for this situation. Farther out, more remote, by lake, small town, schools appear better, definitely not ghetto, surrounded by trees...things all around it seem to just "fit." Hubby would stay here, not far away. Then the thoughts go in circles...always afraid of making a mistake, what if this and what about that, and then comes decision time. Well, hell, that's got to be one of the things I'm worst at. What if I stick the girls in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing there and it ends up being detrimental and ... and what if ... and this is truly a time when I wish I could hear. I would listen. Somewhere in here is a little voice that is indistinguishable to me. I have to go back to just being me. Being who I am. That's the only thing that I am sure about. Of all the things that can or might or should...blah blah blah...the only thing I know to be absolutely true is...just be. Logical mind has a problem with that. Nurturer has a problem with that, worrier has a problem with that. Comes back to just be. I'm weary of taking turns every which-a-way, and I just want to flow, I just want to allow. Why am I afraid...if what I have been envisioning might materialize, why would I fear? Because maybe I'm forcing the envisioning and where I'm supposed to be is here. Dang, where's that little voice. Shhhh.

How did I not realize that would be what comes next? I thought awakening was a very difficult process, but as I think about it ... it takes a lot of work to just ... be. Peachy lol. Well, one way or the other I suppose. I guess I will find out whether the Higher wants to play jack in the box hide & go seek. Oh, that sounds much more fun that "not doing anything."

Coolness, a good day to be had when you meet another healer type, and face to face even better.
I took Louis to see the neighbor of a friend literally 2 streets away.
He is an animal Chiro and acupuncturist, amongst a host of other things.
Does hair analysis testing too on people and animals. Very very cool indeed.
He knows old George really well too. Anyways, he confirmed what George had already
said, and he worked for an hour on Louis, including lazer acupuncture.
He said its not usually good new for an animal to be injured in that spot,
but he also has had some success.
He also lent me a healing pen that is full of crystals. I was so impressed.
He must be in his 60s at least.

@ meeradas, "in temporal limbo" is the best,
maybe you just need to shift your perception??
The feeling Blahs is just your ego struggling with
wanting to know whats going on.

I reset mine by saying over and over
" I know nothing" and in that state of unknowingness,
everything exists, its where manifesting is at it's most
powerful and really speedy too.

This is a trap with the whole truth movement,
its all pretty left brained stuff, and it blocks us
from being truly present.

My three days of darkness arrived early. As you know I reluctantly do my travels between Costa Rica and Barbados through Miami since no other options for a direct hop exist.
Just passing through Miami as a transit passenger means that one needs a US visa. Since I have a passport from a European country I don't need to go to a US embassy but can use what is called a visa waver form. These used to be handed out during the flight together with the customs form.
Since two years ago it no longer works that way.
The airline directed me to a website called ESTA where the application was processed and I filled out my data and got a number that US immigration then had already on their computer screens when I was herded through.
I was unaware when I arrived at the check- in desk during my last flight that my ESTA had expired, having expected that AA would notify me in such a case. Anyway, I was taken by an assistant to an upstairs office and allowed to use their computer to get my ESTA application form and number. To my surprise at the end there was a fee of $14, payable by credit card. Very strange I thought, and actually infuriating. But since it was to last two years I didn't think any further about it after a few days of bitching.
Just now I received an e-mail stating that my recent application for ESTA was due to expire within 30 days. Right away I felt this was a scam, not only because I knew that I had over 20 months left, but because the message began with the word ATTENTION! And the voice in my head had a Hindu accent when I read it. So I was alerted. Started to investigate ESTA and found several Google pages with different web addresses all leading to these applications and charging up to $250.
Then I googled "fake ESTA applications" and found dozens of sites warning of the fake scam sites that had sprung up in recent years.
Investigating several of these warning sites I discovered they led back to more fake application sites, claiming the correct fee was $14 when the real application is free. So I was scammed, right there at the airport, and the check in clerk as well as the assistant who took me to the computer and loaded the scam site for me are part of the ring. This thing is HUGE.
Found an article in Business Traveler about it, even though it was quite superficial.
I even found a "blog page" for the US embassy in London, written with just a smattering of grammatical errors, which discusses all these scams and claims to direct readers to the authentic ESTA site, which then also turns out to be yet another scam site. Amazing. Lucrative business, indeed.

The level of dishonesty and deception out there is really quite shocking. I'm entering a new paradigm here as I write, and am in agreement with Modwiz about his Soylent Green line of thinking.
This world just ain't worth saving.

Ulli...the Big Scam is about to get the Big Slam!

And I understand the ultimate anger and frustration...it is ALL so blatantly UGLY

[ulli]

I searched a bit more and found this on Wikipedia: the genuine ESTA application is no longer free, and the $14 which I was charged was actually authentic.

Wiki:
Before September 8, 2010 ESTA was available for free from the official government websites. From then, the Travel Promotion Act introduced a charge of $14. This is made of $10 which goes to the Corporation for Travel Promotion and a $4 fee levied by the CBP for administration costs.[6] The EU Ambassador to the United States John Bruton, argued it is illogical to think tourist numbers will go up if they are charged to enter the country [7] The charge has also been described as little more than a way to fund advertisements for United States tourism by critics in the European Parliament.[8]

and raise you THIS ....

And so ... I see we have a live one at the table tonight.

I will see your Peter Gabriel (whose early work I especially love) and raise you one.

With the first we can even have villager participation to keep with the "Shake" theme. Every time you hear "Shock" use your powerful psychic hearing skills to pull in "Shake" and you're off to the races.

Back in the days ... Peter Gabriel's Security Album/CD was one of my favs. One of those that really flows and you hate to pull out any one song as it is something best to listen to in it's entirety ... but here (and now) is another:

Very cool indeed, Modwiz.
Being a trend setter I find your head band even more hypnotic than your strobe light belly button.
Couldn't you have placed a couple of bulbs in there, too?

Very nice burst of energy after connecting to a
fellow villager. All of us in a room together
would be quite something, the things we could do
endless possibilities, like a massive battery.
Future projects come to mind..

Free energy, get it here, lol

Hi Astrid...Methinks we are already in a room together : )

The 'higher' smiles and gratitude and overall feelings I get when catching up in the 'here and now' confirms that for me...
We are helping the Consciousness of Mother Earth come Together...
Together 'up there' and 'down here'...all wrapped up in the 'now' !

The Me in We IS Shining : )

This would make a good title for a song.
Very catchy.
Also did a bit of a transform job on ME
who started the day with "the Me in We is Whining..." hehe...

[Calz]

Your new avatar is making me think of mierda, and that is getting very close to Meeradas. Are you doing cosmic humor?

Hargh, NICE. :bounce:
Which of the "new avatars" you refer to, i tried three in the last hour... all were similarly "inspiring" :third: [COLOR="darkred"]
[i guess you mean the snakey pink foam, yea? That's kind of a hidden Lord Sid tribute.]


That's what she gets for asking the tree, "So, do you swallow?" :ban::scared::laugh:

OMG.
Playful mood, eh?! Keep goin'.
You have a way of cheering me up easily.


So, what do you do? Will you have to kill us if you tell us? :rolleyes:

Hostili...*cough* erm, hospitality business.

[COLOR="darkslategray"]or is it "hospit[i]ability"?


First of all I will snag an image so you cannot pull a Carmody and scrub it out of sight with your chameleon avatar act :nod:

(Bugger ... won't let me ... wrong file type ... else I am too dense)


Going from memory (which is what again??? :noidea: ) was not this what goes into McNuggets???

[hence the Sid tribute]


Could be wrong ... kinda looks like evidence of a giant flamingo to me ... but what do I know??

As for going stealth ... interesting justification from a few here (and now).

Never thought of it that way. Perhaps I missed the boat.

Right now (and here) I am the *only* member of 5 whose name shows.


The LoTR scene with Smeagle and Sam exchange about "sneaking" comes to mind ... :lol:

I recommend watching the whole movie, even to those who have seen it before.
Calz posting the pink flamingo reminded me of this. Thanks Calz, you are a major inspiration.

My own stealth mode goes back to the days when ulli was chasing me around with her atomizer. Went stealth mode and was just too lazy to go back. No philosophical justification, here. It was a matter of self defense, then a matter of sloth. Besides, I do have that t-shirt that says "It's OK, I'm a ninja".

Meanwhile ... in a thread far far away ...

Some were trying to coax modwiz into having a puppy (to keep him company through 3 days of darkenss etc).

What do the villagers think of my idea?

Thing about going stealth is the jig is up when they "come out" to post.

Kinda like the Klingon Bird of Prey needs to decloak to fire it's weapons (or did I just make that up?).

This is your reward for the recent (amazing) energy work you did.

[9eagle9]

When I showed Reiki to my friend, she met a spriit helper named LiLi. His back was so bent, and he curled around himself with this sort spinal deformity.

So my friend says, My guide is crippled! They've given me a deformed guide!

So LiLi makes it very clear to her that the more she healed and grew into herself, the more his back would straighten out. Eventually she got over LiLi's 'deformity' .Then she starts this year's long rush of enthusiam for LiLi --sorta like how your friends sound when they get a new boyfriend.

"Lili is so wise, so funny, so happy, and does such magickal things. Isn't Lili amazing. And all these wonderful things happen when Lili is around. "

So a few years later she realizes that LiLii is standing up straight.... so she knew she had arrived at very goodpoint in her life. And she felt better than she had in years, the typical transformed person.

But then LiLi disappeared.

So she says to me," Does that mean that I don't need him anymore?"

I wound't tell and she didn't know.

She was very disappointed because she had come to enjoy LiLi very much and enjoyed watching his back straighten out. And she liked the idea that as she healed, he was healing along with her.

Then she realizes it, that moment we all wait for. She calls me one day and says, LiLi didn't disappear did he?

Nope.

Lili never existed did he?

Nope..

Lili was me the entire time wasn't he?

Yep.

Wise, magickal funny, miraculous.

Hard shoe to wear, eh?

9Eagle9, I LOVE that story about guides! So perfect.

I am trying to do my shadow work again. These quotes speak to me:

"He (Great Spirit) governs the flowing of all waters, and the ebbing, the courses of all rivers and the replenishment of springs, the distilling of all dews and rain in every land beneath the sky. In the deep places, He gives thought to music great and terrible; and the echo of that music runs through all the veins of the world in sorrow and in joy; for if joyful is the fountain that rises in the sun, its springs are in the wells of sorrow unfathomed at the foundations of the Earth."
J.R.R. Tolkein, "The Silmarillion"

The Core of Shadow Work is this: To KNOW YOURSELF FULLY, from as many angles as are required, in order that you might dare to let yourself go free. Being neither judge, jury, prosecutor, nor defender---you give no explanations, nor do you require any. You are AT HOME in your place between the sun and the moon.

That was fun ulli ... thanx.

Could it be the marathon runner Rene "trancending" during this clip was due to the female athelete he was running next to looked like astrid (avatar of course but it immediately came to mind) and was able to use "sympathetic resonance" to do the trick???

After all the amazing sharing of the journey of her growth with the villagers for several weeks it seems appropriate somehow.

No doubt they were able to work that into the movie??? Perhaps the director stumbled onto one of the missing "Looking Glass" pieces???

:noidea:


Of course ... the purple clad South American Llama soccer team brought someone else to mind ... :whistle:
