I need a reality check with my Villagers. A member here who I have enormous respect for has started a thread titled: Breaking News: Kerry Cassidy - Toddler says 'The Ocean is Coming'..?

I am glad Kerry posted it and that Astrid made us aware of it, but breaking news? Am I too anti-drama? Is it me alone who thinks this is identical to regular news type of hyping things just to have a story? I think it borders on embarrassment for the forum to have an intriguing perhaps prophetic comment declared 'breaking news'.

I'm going to watch an episode of Star Trek DS9 6th season, (The Federation just got the space station back from the Dominion) and then I will check to see if anybody cares to comment on my view of Jacko's thread.

I commented already telepathically to you as I was engaged in another conversation.
Maybe you didn't "hear" me.
We could go in there and compliment Jacko for his refraining of the use of read and blue ink, perhaps?
Like this:
BREAKING NEWS

Jackovesk has run out of ink!!!!!!!!!!

Mod, when I see “breaking news” on something, I have come to expect information that is current and has to do something with the material world. I think a better title for anyone's personal story would be “breaking insight.” Insights are as important to me personally as news, and nowadays sometimes more so. And I have to say that I hope Kerry, or someone, didn’t just kind of see that post and copy & paste it without even asking permission. If that happened to me, I would feel somehow violated. If I choose to share something deeply personal to me, which-duh-I obviously do, the it is intended for a certain audience. Even though posting here is public, this is still not a “public” area…meaning not broadcast to a much wider audience that I would assume follows Kerry or ABC news.

Much Love,

I meant 1inMany not Astrid....geeessshhh ALL inclusive Here and Now : )


Thank you for sharing this video, Astrid. What he says about energy relates to the struggle I have been having, documented well in the Here and Now, lol, about being frugal with one’s energy, placing value on it, not giving it away to all who have their hands out, and deciding wisely how to spend it. He, like so many others, speaks of our thoughts creating our reality. This is a subject I struggle with, because sometimes it seems that people are saying thoughts literally create events and situations…as if one can make a chair materialize out of thin air when they want to sit down.

I am reminded of a conversation I once had with a therapist about our worldviews or paradigms and how they create our realities. What she told me makes perfect sense from a psychological perspective. To this day, it is the only grasp I have on how we could possibly create our own realities. She said…

When you are young, a particular trauma happens. Let’s say that a little girl is beaten by her father when she doesn’t perform one way or another to his expectations. After this becomes a pattern, obviously she learns that when “x” happens she will feel “y.” All through her life, then, she wants to avoid “y” at all costs, and the only way she believes she can avoid it is by watching for it. If she sees “y” coming, she can try to duck or hide or go the other direction.

Wanting to see it coming, so that she can escape it before it happens, she creates a sort of a filter in her mind that ignores everything but the “y” so that when it is coming she can protect herself. If the only thing she can see is “y,” and she is focused intently on avoiding it, she will not see the myriad of other possibilities of emotions and situations in life. Therefore, “y” is all she can see.

If “y” is all she can see, then she lives her life “on the ready” for it. She reacts to every stimulus as if it is “y,” whether it had the possibility of becoming “y” or not. Following that thought process, all she sees or experiences in life is fear of “y,” preparing for “y,” defending herself against “y,” or licking her “y” wounds.

In this theory, it is painfully obvious that what one looks for is what one will find. The way to break the pattern of “y,” the little girl (now grown) must stop acting like “y” is the only action or emotion possible. The change in paradigm, or thought pattern, creates a new reality because if she is not looking for “y,” if she looks for beauty in nature or kindness in people or … whatever she looks for … she will find that instead of “y.”

Is that what people mean when they say your thoughts create your reality?

Much Love,

Much Love,

Brilliant post!!! You nailed it.

That's what obsessive fear is about.
And it does take that vision and turns it into reality. And it does so all the way down the line, not only to one individual, but ripples all the way through the collective group.

People who fear their house will burn down in a fire....it's nothing but an ancient memory...
Yet they bring that fire about...again and again.

Women who fear they will lose their man to another woman...same thing.

That's why it is so important to say:
The Buck Stops Here (and Now)

That's what an individual needs to learn to do.
Then everything changes in it's tracks.

Why stop? His death wasn't your fault.

I didn't and don't feel guilt, but what I did have was fear. Of the power, the potential. My friend did not blame me. In her words: it was a forewarning which subconsciously prepared me.
She turned out to be the family glue that held them together in the ensuing days.
Many other things that came up were only true to her and I could not have known.
The fear was also that I would take on other people's stuff. I was still "asleep" in those days and ill-equipped to process it all.

When I think back to my ill-equipped days I cringe. CRINGE!!! But it's ok...I can handle cringe.
I can forgive myself, knowing that I will still cringe twenty years from now when I look back at these posts.
Learning never ends.
Should we stop because we fear the risk of being fools?

Interesting that those early readings brought me the most powerful clients, many illuminati types.
Powerful only in worldly terms. Their tests and lessons are worse than us from the 99%.
Driven by huge passions and desires, ambitious to play their games on the world stage.
Women who had dreams of becoming First Lady of a nation.
Today I see that real power is in the humblest of people, having turned my back on the world of the rich and famous.
The real power is in holding that inner equilibrium.

This is a powerful post. At least to me it is, based on conversations with you and having a sense of you. I am glad to have your acquaintance, is the best sentence I can construct for a message you will have intuit for more depth.

Life is very rich when you are here and now.

What a nice thing to say, you modest wizzy. Made me blush.

Actually, paying sincere compliments is a form of giving energy,
So, let me return it by saying you have been a tremendous inspiration to me as well.
Your carefully chosen words really strike a note.

Today has been good so far, what with EagleSpirit noticing Gaia's awakening and 1inMany discovering the virtues of conquering fear and ViralSpiral getting ready to pick up her wondrous cards again, and Jacko doing a ROTFLHAO in a nice PM...I can't complain.
Just hoping that Nora's story was not published without her permission.
It goes to show, though, how the essence of a story changes, dependent where it has been published.

Aquaintance....that is one word I would like to see changed, as it brings up an image of superficiality.
In this Village no one is a mere aquaintance....we have moved on from there...

We are FRIENDZ.

Don't want to use the word Family, as that can be a two-sided sword.

You know the feeling I get about this year when I look up at the sky? I feel as though the shift has already occurred and we're merely catching up - the universe outside this rock of ours, I feel, has already gone through the upliftment (or whatever you want to call it). It's almost like we're a sort of splinter in the body of Gaia, and this year we're going to be "pushed out" like a splinter in your body is eventually expelled by your body. It sounds kind of mean but it's anything but, because by the end of this year we will be in a completely different space that is a lot more overtly positive for us all. I also feel that an interactive universe we can participate in is now here for the taking - and this too will become public by the end of this year - even if it is merely the beginning of that process.... Everything has changed and this year is about rubbing the sleep out of our eyes as a collective.....

On a personal level, my dreams this year, I can already pick up, have a different "air" about them. It's very hard to explain - it's as if theyre becoming closer to reality. Other than that, I'm having a very hard time at the moment, trying to get work and make ends meet - and it's getting exceptionally tough for me as all I want to do is move on and I feel like I'm being blocked in :( I'd appreciate an in-depth reading if anyone knows a good psychic??

(Oh and I'm sorry if I've butted in, but I felt the need to get these things out of my brainspace and into realspace - and I promise I won't do it again if I'm being too rude!)

Love and light to you all :)

energy is energy is energy.

Shifting energy is shifting one's persepective/ perception from the inside out. Energy reflects back what we are feeling. The feeling is the density it needs to flow through. If one's feelings are dense the energy has a low vibrational rate. When energy is applied to a drum the dream head is not dense, so it vibrates hihger.. The same cannot be said when energy is applied to a kitchen counter. The counter is denser;less vibration will emit from it when struck.

All about density. Earth energy has a different quality to it due to the various densities it moves through, mud, rock, crystal, gravel, tree roots all of those densities , like flavors, attribute to what people defnie as earth energy. Energy that has moved through the earth.

Stand near a place in the earth that has been ravaged and polluted--you're going to feel a different energy due to what it has moved through. The energy isn't bad; its moved through some dense crud.

When it has to move through our dense feelings--same principal.

How energy is managed , high, or low . You can't really bring in good energy or bad energy, its just what's one's state of feeling is in. Feelings have a great deal to do with manifestation and co -creation, the thought can direct the manifestation but if the feeling is not alignment with it....manifestation and co -creation turns out to be a very disappointing thing. That's why everyone typically does not succeed much at things they don't 'feel' like doing.

Joel, welcome.
Please make yourself at home.
There are quite a few Villagers who are in charge of refreshments and who will attend to you shortly.
Marianne makes a delicious pineapple and celery juice.
The hard time you are experiencing is going to be over very soon,
I know with a certainty that you are close to a breakthrough.
Other Villagers have been there too, and can confirm that the night is always darkest just before the dawn.
I posted a picture of the Village storage room somewhere on page 318 or therabouts, please go and take as much as you need...
By the way, this may come as a bit of a surprise to you, but the best psychic is you yourself.
Just be yourself, trust yourself, and you will be surprised of the level of genius that is hidden in there.
You are the genie in the bottle; come on out, and show what you are capable of.
Take from that storage as much as you can carry...whatever...nobody is counting.

Wow, Calz, powerful (for me) vids this morning. The engineer says there will be a few days of no magnetic energy. Is that the 3 dark days? And then, says time time is speeding up, which we've probably all heard before, but which is oh-so-true. Wondering-if the days go by faster, will I need to nap less? teehee

I want more on the heartbeat of the earth. What is that? And he refers to what the ancients tell us about transcending fear. How do they say to do this? More! More! More! :)

Ya know, part of the difficulty for me in living where I do at the moment, is that I hear inspirational messages that resonate, or I connect with the energy here, and then I go get in my car or walk down the street. Nothing going on here. Honestly, that is why I spend so much time online, because there are no connections around here in person. So, I tend to worry about these people. What will happen to them? A mass awakening? I'm not sure all the people I know, see, hear, and feel ... will awaken. Is that possible? I guess what I mean is that I believe if any catastrophe were to happen within 30 miles of Dallas in any direction, the aftermath would be like New Orleans. It wouldn't be pretty.

Any insights?

Much Love,

Just manage yourself, Lisa.
Do you dislike it when people piss you off?
Then try to not do the same to them. Manage your behaviour, consciously create the personality you want to reflect.

Meanwhile help yourself to the Village barn, take what you need, but just be patient...the image may take a while to load into 3d.
Just get the right attitude before you take out your bundle.

Much Love,

I can completely resonate with that. Just be yourself and try to have as many positive interactions with people as you can. All you can do is plant the seed of enlightenment - it's in your control whether it grows or not. Who knows - maybe all the seeds we're growing are just waiting for the right situations to come up to 'water' them - and I feel we will have plenty of those coming up this year. It will take a pretty unenlightened soul to have not at least started on the path by the end of this year, IMHO :)

No more chardonnay, Ulli's friend finished it all (barsteward!). She does however still have some excellent Cabernet Sauvignon.
There are no more pink marshmallows left (Cal took 'em all) or bricks either (Ulli confiscated those).
But you wont be needing them here any-hows, as you will find out.
Sometimes the villagers are busy collecting wood and water, other times they are here, sharing. Like you did. Thank you

Things are indeed "shifting", and we should heed the call to support each other, as times will become ever increasingly confusing and intense. I have found this campfire to nurture and nourish my soul, when clouds move in or even when some-one shares their joy.

Thanks ulli. Had a spat with one of my sisters. We always push each others buttons but I'm the one who takes it to heart. Over-sensitive today and then pissed off with myself for being over-sensitive! I even had a bit of a sulk earlier- a lump in my throat and lip quiver!! Pathetic! I can't convey myself as well as her and I think I must be jealous. She's bossy and controlling but I love her. We reflect off each other all the time and closer in age than the others. Being older we saw all the parental crap and we both know were still dealing with it. Or probably letting the last of it now, I think because this is our first spat in a long time and I don't react this way so much these days. So annoyed with myself!

Inside the Beltway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map showing the Capital Beltway encircling Washington, D.C."Inside the Beltway" is a phrase used to characterize parts of the real or imagined American political system. The name refers to the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495), a circumferential highway (beltway), completed in 1964, that encircles Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.

The phrase is commonly used to refer to matters that are or seem important primarily to the officials of the U.S. federal government, its contractors and lobbyists, and the media which cover them, in contrast to interests and views of the U.S. population generally.

The phrase is sufficiently well known in the U.S. that the mere word "Beltway" is used in various combinations for many discussions about national politics, including newspaper columns, television shows, web sites and blogs. For example, some government contracting companies located in or near Washington have been called Beltway Bandits.

The term "Inside the Beltway" is also sometimes employed in a literal, geographic sense in the Washington, D.C., area to describe the city and those portions of Maryland and Virginia that are close to the nation's capital. These include not only Washington, D.C., but also Arlington County, Virginia; the city of Falls Church, Virginia; most of the city of Alexandria, Virginia; and portions of Montgomery and Prince George's counties in Maryland and Fairfax County in Virginia.

Thanks ulli. Had a spat with one of my sisters. We always push each others buttons but I'm the one who takes it to heart. Over-sensitive today and then pissed off with myself for being over-sensitive! I even had a bit of a sulk earlier- a lump in my throat and lip quiver!! Pathetic! I can't convey myself as well as her and I think I must be jealous. She's bossy and controlling but I love her. We reflect off each other all the time and closer in age than the others. Being older we saw all the parental crap and we both know were still dealing with it. Or probably letting the last of it now, I think because this is our first spat in a long time and I don't react this way so much these days. So annoyed with myself!


Well, if the money doesn't console you have some of these, then. To keep the flow going.....
No better way to pick yourself up than by helping me in my rose garden.

It's not mine....I had meant to correct that, but got busy on the Jacko thread
....Freudian slip, revealing that I'm still a bit possessive.
Working on it, however.

I meant the VILLAGE garden, which means it is yours, too.

Unless you are happier in the kitchen, in which case we''ll have to discuss some restructuring at tonight's camp fire.

I still have some of my son's drawings which were nearly identical.

Good morning good morning good MOOOOORNING Here and Nowers

Its still dark outside, but I see a clear sky. YAY!

Hmmmmmm........ front page news. Not sure I would be that happy about it. I guess its "public domain" et al.
What I do know for sure, is that this village attracts attention. At one time during Tuesday evening's (my time) energetic campfire, we had 30 visitors.

@ Carmody re Tarot. I am intrigued. What influences them? I was once a hobby reader for friends and during one particular session, a friend asked about her family. Loooooads of news/interpretations for most, but nothing from/for her dad. He died 2 days later. I never picked them up again.

focus and simplfy intent to a specific question that cannot be misinterpreted or lead to an ambiguous mannered answer. Spiritual advisors, or one's higher self ....are not specifically comedians, but they do give you the run around until you learn to be VERY specific and controlled. Laws of unintended consequences and all that. since 'spirit' is all about learning how to be specific, controlled and exact, well..it is no wonder that this world of lessons is all about getting intent, direction, specifics and results..as correct as is possible. For in a world/dimensions were the controls/realities are inverted and consciousness is greater than matter (the opposite of here), it is no small wonder that in this 3d world of lessons....getting it right..... is the be all end all.

back to the point : Do this (specific controlled outcome question thingie) for about 10-30 seconds, the last of that time being the shuffling of the cards. Stop when it feels right and draw, or just simply draw a card.

That card should be the issue and it's characteristics, in a nutshell. However, if you weren't specific enough....... it will only be as specific as your request. ie, don't ask 'will I find love', ask..'will I find my lifetime mate in the last two weeks in Jan 2012 --as a real person, in front of me'.

if one wish to see disasters one can switch timelines.... and see them. if one wishes to have tarot cards work, they will. Etc.

Two groups of scientists try psychic experiments, the non believers fail and the believers have it work..as the believers ALLOW it to work, they don't actively detract from the potentials. never try to show an active participating nay-sayer that psychic capacities work, for they..in their ignorance..will literally interrupt the flow and function of the act. I'm thinking enough will can overcome them..but how much and at what price?


Reality is timeless, holographic and driven by the intelligences or 'knots of complex energy' that are embedded, or swimming in it --and of it. Therefore........ask the tarot cards to work..and they will.

Wondering about tarot cards in general. I know there are decks with different pictures, types of art, illustrations or whatever you call them, but do these make any difference? I would love to have some, and I'd like to pick some that aren't full of someone's energy already...can you clean them with sage or something?

Much love,

From my Vedic Astrologer friend, these reports...

"and now.... the last chiron conjunct neptune... oct44 to dec 45...the 2nd world war ended right in the middle of that period.the end of war, would go a long way to healing the planet.. i am encouraged to feel hopeful... the current chiron neptune conjunction will last until 2015, so still time for some much needed healing"

"now i am looking at the current ongoing pluto square uranus .as you know the last conjunction was in the 60s the square before that turns out to be 1931-1935 period .i am seeing a lot of social unrest .monarchies being overthrown and beginnings of war here and there.again i invite anyone to make comments on this period to find similarities with our current period..key words for pluto uranus revolution, powerful commitment to freedom/anarchy,, intensity of imagination,.this should be a catalyst for deep and far reaching change.i note hitler came into power in this period. some landmark events in aviation .first round the world flight and amelia earhart crosses the pacific and advances the cause for womens empowerment."

"a grand trine in fire.. mercury conjunct pluto trine jupiter and trine the moon currently ...chiron opposite moon, forms the apex of a kite formation and the energy lifts again.venus is also conjunct neptune .neptune thought by many to be the higher octave of venus, converting personal love into universal love... some pleasant dreams with venus neptune.can affect the romantic imagination"

I use tarot a fair bit a reference guide for working with Archetypal energies.
And divination in general is a fun part of spiritual life,

Had to bring this forward thank you Modwiz


I might sound like a broken Tolkien recording but, "The battle for Middle Earth has begun." Mordor and Isengard have unleashed their armies, but our populations are still under a spell like Theoden or simply emotionally broken like Denethor.

Around February of last year I began to really take notice of this battle and its current -very sticky and something to pay very much attention to.....important to align your hearts and minds -


He may cry, but David Wilcox is one of the heroes in this story. Fulford and Duncan are others. Kerry and Bill are doing what they feel is possible for them. None of the aforementioned sit and wring their hands, they all have real skin in the game.



Feel free to add other names. It is time to start counting and acknowledging our blessings and the skirmishes we are holding our own in. Let us know we are not unrepresented in this fight. More are awakening everyday. Part of creating reality is the ability to feel and "be' in the new reality. This Village is singing a nice loud counter song to the dissonant din clanging in many parts of the world. We have the Universe and Gaia behind, and within, us. We are are the team that will prevail and we owe it to ourselves and our support to not forget that for more than a hand wringing minute.

I also want to acknowledge a non celeb person. Rob Halford/Lord Sidious. His legal guidance alone, puts his skin in the game as it give us more tools.


I would add to the list James Gilliand for his diligent work and getting the message out and Cal's support of it on PA. Carmody for being the true compassionate inter-dimensional servant that he is.

I use tarot a fair bit a reference guide for working with Archetypal energies.
And divination in general is a fun part of spiritual life,
especially useful if you have a very strong mind and find it hard
to "get out of your own way". These days I'm less in the mind,
and more in the infinite flow, so i tend to not rely on them that much
anymore for answers.

I use to use the Tarot and Cartomancy, but gave it up also. I have several dream interpretation/analysis books that I use mostly today. Once in a while I take them out or if I am working with someone who I might need more clarification about I'll pull a couple. Anyways they are fun.

I used tarot a lot at one time. Still use it from time to time. I use the keltic spread or, ya, just pull a card. I use the rider deck. Had the Crowley deck, which is a little different but did not like the feel of the energies. Eventually threw those out.

I threw the sticks once (I Ching). Said I was mountain on maintain, and to do yoga. Actually, that one throw had a big influence on the trajectory of my life in the last 12 years or so because I veered off towards more esoteric pursuits after that.

The only noise I'm hearing is the river, which is less loud than usual as we haven't had much rain lately.
To see Turrialba I would have to get in the car and either drive up the dirt road behind us, or go into the village as our view here in the valley is blocked.
They say you can see the red shine above the crater...and the temperature in there is now already 1000 C.
We are going to the beach this morning so have even less chance of seeing any spectacle...at least we have just gotten Internet there so I can get the news online.
Don't worry about me, I live far enough away....
Right next to Turrialba is another volcano, called Irazu, which last erupted in 1963, on the day that JFK was here on a visit. The weird part was that it happened right at the moment that he visited the eastern part of San Jose and gave a talk in a public park, from where he could see the top of the mountain.
That made me connect the dots between consciousness and outer events...JFK's consciousness level had to have had the equivalent of millions....and one glance from him in that direction, wondering, hey, wouldn't it be cool if that blew right now?.. And voila!

A week after I had that idea there was a massive quake here, 6.3.... and as we are standing outside the house in our nighties, trembling I asked my husband so what caused this one? And he told me don't you remember? There is a summit right now, at the Herradura Hotel...all the leaders of Latin America, plus the King and Queen of Spain. Whoa, confirmation...
Next day we heard the gossip grape vine that the Queen of Spain was seen outside her hotel room in her nightie, all freaked out, too....

First day in Shamanic studies, absolutely the best fun.
I merged with my Raven and circumnavigated my
whole middle world. Such a vast landscape, loads of villages,
industries, all old school, with no harm to the land ( of course).
Very peaceful, and so incredibly rich with experiences begging to be
explored. I saw my house from the sky and found
a whole new level. I was told that is how i am to access
the upper world, and the lower world through the basement.

In the second journey we got to merge again with our power animals
through dance, which was interesting as only yesterday
spirit telling me that i really needed to do some bodywork,
movement, yoga, or dance.

There is only 9 in my group, so working together till,
December should be quite a bonding experience. Already from day
one there are overlapping themes and experiences.
There are 3 classes running side by side, i can sit in as a
guest on the others . And everything is recorded, so ADD
friendly, if i miss anything through my own version of what
time is, lol.. i can easy catch up. The best thing is the trainer
is so anti- dogma and has a very quiet ego.
It's totally perfect.

I was orchestrating the moving of frozen earth by heavy equipment operators...it was a clean up/clearing-for-new and the work being done had a 'get it done now and get it done right' mode to it. There was about a foot of frozen crust to break through but it was workable.

I had a very odd dream.

Wish I could remember more details ... alas only a few snippets.

I share it here (and now) because it involved the village and I don't recall having a dream regarding the forum before.

Anhoo ...

Carmody had made an lengthy and important post (about what I forgot :doh: ).

There were two other members who had follow up posts. One was astrid and I don't remember the other.

Jist of it was each of those two members *got it* on half of Carmody's message. Their posts were like every other paragragh repeating and making accessible to the rest of us the meaning of the associated paragragh from Carmody. In other words Carmody had an *aha moment* (go figure) and it took a couple of very astute and attentive members to understand portions ... then combining energies to make the original message available for the rest of us.

No idea if this is useful to anyone or me being silly (again).

We are beyond "bad" now...anything that happens from here on in in front of us is our own decisive energy in action no matter the reaction...and it will be all good if our own intent is good and riding wisdom.

But in general I feel that I'm going to a more basic form of spirituality, more direct. Simply put: LOVE. That's all I want to talk about! I feel like jumping out from high cliffs, with the divine love carrying me, and I can give it forth to the ones that crosses my path. That is the beauty of life!

Isn't that what happens around here nearly every day anyway? If the dream is looked at as a personal message, then it means you are really getting "something" ...so it's a good dream.
All the inner Calzies are becoming more connected and your inspirational antenna (represented by Carmody) is getting the message through to the more duh! regions of your brain, with the help of the mid level Calzies, (represented by the
two members who got it)
So it's all good, very good.

I had a wild dream sequence last night, as well. I ended up catching a ride home on a :ufo: , but the image came back as a redneck Jesus giving me a ride home in his old camero, and the car had some very interesting controls, ostensibly to navigate back past the coming wave.

Lots of bits and pieces of other dimensional fun, and the first part did include you, ,mod, and carmody as well, calz. The "trunks" hairdo was unmistakable! And carmody looked the same as he had in other dreams, and the resemblance to his photo is likewise unmistakable.

One part towards the middle of the sequence had a bunch of people living on these houseboats all tied together with these floating platforms like rafts in between. Because of what was happening, I had told the people on a particular boat to untie themselves and leave before something was coming, and left they did, with me missing the rendezvous.

I wound up making my own way, ending up in space far far away and hitching a ride back with redneck jesus. He is the coolest jesus of all, way better than buddy christ, or baby jesus, even. Redneck jesus will be glad to drink a beer with you, and there is a lot to be said about that.

The media will never tell the truth.
Going by the principle "as above, so below" I want to point out how even one person can behave in a similar fashion.
They tell their best friend EVERYTHING, or so they think...and even that is only a percentage of what really goes on inside.
They tell their parents only a minimum, so as not to get a strong reaction.
They tell their collegues only what will enhance their personal image.
So the bigger the media audience, the more diluted the truth.
Besides, the media is only concerned with ratings, audience must be maintained at a certain size or the advertisers will stop coming.
And the biggest corporations have the biggest advertising budgets, which is why they not only control governments, but also the media.

The interesting thing about the I Ching is that it makes special demands on your own alertness, without which you might not understand the interpretation.
That state of hightened alertness then opens further channels for you, which is why in the end you don'tneed any props.

The imagery goes deep into one's psyche, too...far mor so than the Tarot. But that depends on the deck,some are better than others. I loved the Osho Tarot the best.

The media is our baby. We dont' like the truth, they have found, and no one will stay in business long from selling what others won't buy. I'm sure the media understands us better than anyone. They certainly offer enough media that people self identify with. People want life to be easier so most advertising is about how this, that or the other will make your life easier. Sham-wow.

Watching the 'feel good' story of the year is standard catch phrase now.

We start being alignment with truth, the media will be forced to change.

When we finally say, Okay we've had it with ables, stories, BS and realize that Shamwow doens't really make life easier.....they have to change or die.

The media just another reflection of us.

What do we seek in media? And there's the answer.

We like to think it's controlled by some heavy duty hidden hamfist somewhere, and to a certain extent that is true....but when truth becomes becomes popular with people that media will find a way to get out from the under the hamfist.

13th January 2012, 14:21
Whereas that last was a bit o' metaphor, the truth of it is a little more than the average truth. It contains the key, the key of accepting self as the creator accepts self, unconditional acceptance that is needed to complete the trials of shadow work. See? Unconditional love of what we are in truth, love not in spite of flaw, but because of it. Reach deep inside, and say with reverence That's Cool. We can go with that, and be, just be, what we really are. Warts and all, it's the greatest thing.

I had a dream the other day. I almost never sleep at night. I remember being in my house/abode. It was not like my 3 story farm house, I was in a one room space, equivalent to roughly the size of my tent. 12x13. Something, like a tremor made all of the walls fall down. They fell out. The ceiling is not accounted for. I do remember trying to get the walls to stand up again by putting hinges at the corners, as the walls were still all intact. They had all fallen outward, very neatly. I do not remember being successful putting them back up. The dream ended, or I woke up, with me standing in the middle of my floor with all of the walls lying outward and me being confused as to whether it was an earthquake or tsunami that had blown the walls out.

Interesting dream, but I do recall having a sense of some challenging, but not fearful or life threatening, times being portended, at least as a possibility.

They do make a difference...for those beginning tarot.. The Rider-Waite deck is fashioned from the originals and their symbology that become imbedded in our psyche over the years. The new ones, being new, we don't have that eye to psyche recognition ....because theiy're new. Back then there wasnt a Cat or Vampire Tarot there was 'the ' Tarot. We don't recognize thosethrough use, we have to learn the new language and new symbology by memorizing them. So the originals will activate recall eventually and the new ones, you have to 'learn'.

Tarot reading, knowing the cards, is an act of recall. If you take out the 3 of swords in a Rider Waite you are going to know without being told what that card means . You won't have to look at the book. In a modern deck you may not know because the symbology has been re-arranged to less eye to psyche provocative.

Some people like Celtic decks or Druidic decks because of this recall--they composed around very old cultural specific symbols.

The really trendy ones are based in modern newly created trends and languages ,so are not so to work with intially. TThey have to be memorized from the start.

The original tarots or those closest to them, like Universal Tarot, have the original roles or archetypes of life symbology in them still . And then there are infiite ways one sees how these roles interact and effect us through the layout. Every story of man can be shown there. The decks represent the roles archetypes influencing a person at any given time. So while they don't tell the future persay (being as they are a peice of glossy cardboard) they do let us know what sort influences are at play NOW that can affect a future outcome. That's why I prefer two paths layouts.

Like Astrid noted, once you have removed a lot of archetypical stories, roles things of that nature from your inner landscapeyou will become less interested in tarot. There's very little left for it to work with and then you just end with things you already knew anyway.

The companion books are also expressed very much in personal times. Like they may say "This card indicates you are being selfish" . That's very personal, and ther's nothing really personal about all this, its just working in archetypes and roles everyone shares until you work through them...and there's several ways to intepret what selfish is we have to really know what selfish means or be misled. Sefish is not alway conceited or intentional act. Selfish can be interchangeable with withdrawn.

I'd not worry about the energy on the cards, even the new decks have someone's energies on them..lol.

When I'm periodically moved to do tarot, I work it with my higherself so I don't worry about things like that. Smuding the decks should suffice.







Wondering about tarot cards in general. I know there are decks with different pictures, types of art, illustrations or whatever you call them, but do these make any difference? I would love to have some, and I'd like to pick some that aren't full of someone's energy already...can you clean them with sage or something?

Much love,

Not enough thank buttons in the world for this one.

That my purple friend is what humility really is, isn't it? Literally just being YOUR-self.

Just Allowing creator to work through you without judging it or putting conditions on it. Other's might...because they think humility is modesty, and being a floor mat. When Creator works through us we are the furthest thing from floor mat.

Oh....the humility. I wonder about that word because we know how many people have been chastised or rather, humiliated,for allowing Creator to work through them.


Whereas that last was a bit o' metaphor, the truth of it is a little more than the average truth. It contains the key, the key of accepting self as the creator accepts self, unconditional acceptance that is needed to complete the trials of shadow work. See? Unconditional love of what we are in truth, love not in spite of flaw, but because of it. Reach deep inside, and say with reverence That's Cool. We can go with that, and be, just be, what we really are. Warts and all, it's the greatest thing.

Will be back in an hour or so (?). Will catch up on Here and Now. Headed out to meeting with school. I need a shield around me, actually all three of us - daughter and hubby going also. Very negative environment. This is a cya meeting called by the school, for the school, masked as....how to help my daughter so that she can re-enter public school.

Have strategically placed a double point clear crystal in my cleavage hoping the energy will be channeled straight into my heart area. Okay, I will laugh about that later, but for now I'm desperate.

Please send loving thoughts to those members in attendance.

Love you all very much,

The standard is inside. One has to learn to differentiate what the mind does and creation does.

Questioning is fine , necessary, but we know that it yanks people's chains...In questioning we have to prepared and accepting that there will conflict present.

It's how long we question too. If questioning provides a fast easy answer....its great. If it ties up forever, in a loop of questioning...different matter. The mind has gotten in there and started the runaway train to tie you up on the tracks of indecision.

Mind talks .Blah blah blah creating fearful scenarios or bringing up crap from the past, "this is the way it's always been done".

Knowing offers a solution. We can accept it....or we can go back to the mind and deny it. Knowing offers simple solutions. The simplest solution. It may not be a rational one but it's the simplest one.

When I ran out of gas yesterday, my mind wants to say. "Get out and walk home, get the gas can, walk back. That's the way we always do it."

NO ..way! Worse the moment I get out of that truck and start walking...I become a hypocrite. Blathering on about creation, miracles and the mind but not walking it myself.

Knowing says, put the truck in 4wd and start it again.

Mind says, "Oh your crazy. 4wd uses more gas. More of the gas she doesn't have. The car didn't start a minute ago it won't start now.

The simplest thing for me is just just do is just drive home, I have to allow the creation of that circumstance by refusing the mind.

Knowing just moved my hand to that lever and beyond all physical odds, I just put it in 4wd and drove home. On fumes, on miracles who knows. That I'm not going to question.

So later when the back end of the truck starts to wobble my mind starts in questioning. The U joint? The tie rods? Oh forget all that it doesn't matter, that wobble actually means 1200 dollars in repairs. Oh but you don't have 1200 dollars, do you? Fear fear fear. How you going to get to work? didn't you start a new contract? and wow you'll have to tell those people you can't make it...awww. I think it's time to PANIC. "

The knowing says, It's very simple.

A five dollar fix. If I waited long enough it would corrected self on it's own.

Allowing our knowing, our creation put things back to right, not makes things worse for us so that's one indicator. They're small miracles, I didn't cure the world but I won't be able to do that if I can't accept small miracles without the mind flogging them to death for myself.

If Creator is working through you its easy to tell the difference-- you don't even have to question. Just refuse the mind if the solution is not being provided after questioning. So even that moral quandry disappears. Creation is THE miracle of knowing without doubt. One doesn't doubt even if other's are doubting them. If you can get out of mind doubt, there's not another doubtful thing out there that can effect you.

Knowing is how miracles are created. In small ways at first. The two miracles I pulled my hat yesterday didn't cure the world but they nonetheless happened....to me.

Oh....the humility. I wonder about that word because we know how many people have been chastised or rather, humiliated,for allowing Creator to work through them.

The only noise I'm hearing is the river, which is less loud than usual as we haven't had much rain lately.
To see Turrialba I would have to get in the car and either drive up the dirt road behind us, or go into the village as our view here in the valley is blocked.
They say you can see the red shine above the crater...and the temperature in there is now already 1000 C.
We are going to the beach this morning so have even less chance of seeing any spectacle...at least we have just gotten Internet there so I can get the news online.
Don't worry about me, I live far enough away....
Right next to Turrialba is another volcano, called Irazu, which last erupted in 1963, on the day that JFK was here on a visit. The weird part was that it happened right at the moment that he visited the eastern part of San Jose and gave a talk in a public park, from where he could see the top of the mountain.
That made me connect the dots between consciousness and outer events...JFK's consciousness level had to have had the equivalent of millions....and one glance from him in that direction, wondering, hey, wouldn't it be cool if that blew right now?.. And voila!

A week after I had that idea there was a massive quake here, 6.3.... and as we are standing outside the house in our nighties, trembling I asked my husband so what caused this one? And he told me don't you remember? There is a summit right now, at the Herradura Hotel...all the leaders of Latin America, plus the King and Queen of Spain. Whoa, confirmation...
Next day we heard the gossip grape vine that the Queen of Spain was seen outside her hotel room in her nightie, all freaked out, too....

IMO and IME, Yes, consciousness can shape and direct energies. Knowing that and acting within it as a point of origin can enable, yes. The danger is ego creeping into create the feeling of empowerment, as opposed to responsibility. Responsibility, over time... can then become seasoned experience tempered with compassion. Instead of passion, which the ego would have brought, instead. The 'balance' brings the compassion.

Have strategically placed a double point clear crystal in my cleavage hoping the energy will be channeled straight into my heart area. Okay, I will laugh about that later, but for now I'm desperate.



The body has no eyes, no ears.... and no processing (mind brain type) capacity, per se. the body reacts to the conscious or mind (thinking, pondering) interpretation of data..but at the instinctual and emotional connection level. At the hindbrain level. Note that we 'feel' emotions, for long periods of time, like different flavors of lighting or color, or pressure/temp...ie... long term situations, not fleeting ones.

The body has the processing power of the fast processing mind, which is the control or steering wheel that the spiritual inhabitant uses and connects with, in many ways. but we come up into it, through the dimensional doorway which began in our youth. An evolved/built/grown harmonic structure (3d antenna/web/frameworks of the mind) that agrees with our dimensional energizes, and we shaped this path, through the hindbrain, starting before birth.

When our consciousness (mind) is agitated, this sends 'prepare for action' signals to the blind and deaf body....so it can be 'at the ready' and thus..the body inserts itself into our data processing system 'loop' (input output) as a 'first to analyze any and all data' ----with respect to fight or flight basics.


To calm the body so it does not interfere, is the key point. to know the above consciously and continually, can help calm agitation and stress. to understand that it truly is just body response to things it cannot see or hear.

Our problem comes with respect to the body being on guard and being the 'first responder' to all incoming and outgoing dimensionally (3d and otherwise) connected data. This can cause is to 'realize our fears'...or to project them into the people who are involved in those situations.

This goes back to the idea that the complex-driven avatar system of soul inclusion is all about learning to drive a duality state of existence. This may come in the form of learning these things here, in a "rubber baby buggy bumper" world or reality system, in order to not project those mistakes--elsewhere. To not project those mistakes.. in a different world (non 3d) where there are no boundaries and the limits and controls within the energy called a being...is/are the sole arbiter of separation and existence as a 'being'. Ie, as a complex 'knot' of flowing energy, in an energy universe or dimensional space, self control and awareness of such becomes and is the key component of existence and continued existence. Thus... to be here in the 3d world and learn such things.

Essentially, stress arises out of the body as the first responder...interpreting data in fight or flight mode, thus the mind seeing this as a problem (the data has been colored)..and then projecting energies into the situation that do not exist (but are feared) that can alter the situation in an untoward manner...and thus the fears end up being realized or 'created' through this aspect of reality creation as a knowledge (feedback reinforcement)....not being fully known or understood by the given avatar and occupant of said avatar. the key point, again, is knowing that this interface with the body can and does create energetic situations,even though the conscious mind is desiring other outcomes and directions. That this 'feeling driven' machine from below can and does create our worldly foibles and issues.

I find that the continual conscious understanding that the 'body' is simply doing it's job to protect the box we inhabit, ie the body..and doing this through inherent and learned patterns derived from life experience..that this understanding leads to the idea of calming the body and getting it out of the way, but in a realistic and lasting manner. A combination of separating the body from the inhabitant so it can be seen more clearly and then re-integrating with the body in a manner that has the inhabitant with conscious 'hands' on the controls.

For example, if one studies the roots of and actual actions required for a Buddhist monk to become a more learned being..they will find that this, combined with 3d reality manipulation..is a notable part of the Buddhist package of knowledge and....capacity. (with respect to personal evolution)

Note that Viral just woke Ulli up from a dead sleep. Interesting, no? simple recall of such things does help change the framing of learned patterns from our 3d oriented youth. These sort of things as commonplace understanding and experience....they can drastically change moment to moment orientation ---and thus life results.

It seems our newer young ones are not coming in with such delays in their patterns of personal evolution as duality beings. faster and faster......

This should get interesting, regarding the speed, paths and evolution of their life patterns.

Thank You, Carmody for prior post...
for me, personally...this area of fight or flight was so strong because of my own personal belligerence and stubbornness and fierce independence(primarily fueled by anger) that the only thing for me that garnered a calming of what you speak of was intense solar meditation...many ways to get there...but this was soooooo integral in my own calming and moving forward and then helping others as the changes become more prevalent all around!

direct and to the highest possible source you can reach
(whose energy sig is unmistakable) and you can't go
wrong . It actually becomes so simple that most don't

I had a wild dream sequence last night, as well. I ended up catching a ride home on a :ufo: , but the image came back as a redneck Jesus giving me a ride home in his old camero, and the car had some very interesting controls, ostensibly to navigate back past the coming wave.

Lots of bits and pieces of other dimensional fun, and the first part did include you, ,mod, and carmody as well, calz. The "trunks" hairdo was unmistakable! And carmody looked the same as he had in other dreams, and the resemblance to his photo is likewise unmistakable.

One part towards the middle of the sequence had a bunch of people living on these houseboats all tied together with these floating platforms like rafts in between. Because of what was happening, I had told the people on a particular boat to untie themselves and leave before something was coming, and left they did, with me missing the rendezvous.

I wound up making my own way, ending up in space far far away and hitching a ride back with redneck jesus. He is the coolest jesus of all, way better than buddy christ, or baby jesus, even. Redneck jesus will be glad to drink a beer with you, and there is a lot to be said about that.

Rock on, Redneck Jesus!

Interesting thanks playdo
From that above link ...


76.9 Questioner: Is there, in Ra’s opinion, any present day value for the use of the tarot as an aid in the evolutionary process?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat information. It is appropriate to study one form of constructed and organized distortion of the archetypical mind in depth in order to arrive at the position of being able to become and to experience archetypes at will. You have three basic choices. You may choose astrology, the twelve signs, as you call these portions of your planet’s energy web, and what has been called the ten planets. You may choose the tarot with its twenty-two so-called Major Arcana. You may choose the study of the so-called Tree of Life with its ten Sephiroth and the twenty-two relationships between the stations.

It is well to investigate each discipline, not as a dilettante, but as one who seeks the touchstone, one who wishes to feel the pull of the magnet. One of these studies will be more attractive to the seeker. Let the seeker, then, investigate the archetypical mind using, basically, one of these three disciplines. After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step: that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind.

Someone once said to me that the aim was to
master the archetypes as presented in the tarot.
In earth school we do this through learning how
to deal with different types of people that represent
those archetypal energies . And if you study such
things and understand them you get to fast track the
experiential stuff . Reaching a knowingness basically
gives you a "get out of jail card " as you don't have to
learn it the slower harder way . This has been my
experience anyway. Basiclly when you start to
understand the mechanics you get to burn through
many life times of leanings in one incarnation.
Which is even more heightened in the here and
now times we are in . Leap frogging ahead is not
that hard to do if you are watching and listening,
and have moved beyond fear .

Lol. The light is decieving as they think the dark is. I have a treasure chest full of cast off metaphysical items people have foisted off on me because they were 'dark'. I find this amusing as they weren't dark when they bought them.....but some how managed to convince themselves they were because those crystals and things where showing them something they didn't want to hear. Or want to confront.

Values of light and dark come from us.

Why we keep walking in circles isn't found in the light, supposedly nothing is wrong with the light. So if we're standing in the light and something is still amiss...that should be a clue.

It's what we find in the dark that heals us. A shadow self is called that for a reason...

My beef with the whole new age movement is
too much fluff on the outside and too much
neurosis on the inside .
Neurosis on the outside means at least a person
is working at integrating their shadow .
Why you have so much porn in the closets of
hard core religious conservative types . The shadow
will always try to express whether you like it or not
Better to make friends with it that become bitter and
twisted trying to run from it . Love shadow work these
days it's where the depth and richness of life lives .

I won't keep it in any more.

Something has changed. Since before New Years, I cannot land a job. Even here I posted at least twice that I was off to work but both times the jobs were cancelled. One when I was 5 minutes away from the customer's house and the other as I was putting on my coat to leave for work. Then again last night, my customer called to cancel. I'm getting the calls but can't land the jobs. My phone is ringing a lot but I haven't worked in weeks. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.

I'm not upset, however. I'm not depressed. I feel fine. So I am confused. And yes, I am conflicted about money. I have very strong and adamant views about it. The way I try to bring these two things in line is by accepting things as they are. Money exists - and I need it. I wish I didn't but I do. I know I'm not the only one - we all need it.

I'm gonna be real honest here. I don't like to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, month after month, year after year. I have other interests that are far more important. And I have known this since I was a young teenager. My resentment for having to work like that festered and grew until age 45. One day on the ride to work I had this powerful feeling that NO MORE! I turned around and went home, quit my job and started my business. It has sustained me in my current lifestyle, which is frugal, for the last 8 years.

A lot of stuff had to go to live like this, and went it did. There was never much money from that point on, not like before. From the beginning the sustaining thought for me was, "I could get the call tomorrow." That is, the right guy with the right sized project would one day call and I'd be okay from then on. Still waiting...

And here it comes - I never wanted to be an electrician. If the job posted in the paper that day had been: "Wanted, apprentice plumber. No experience required. Will train.", I'd be a plumber. But here's the most honest part, I never wanted to be anything at all. I had too many interests to narrow it down like that. So fate decided for me. And here I am.

So, I say to myself, "I don't care, it doesn't matter. Others are worse off than me." But I do care and it does matter, and I do empathise with the less fortunate. I can't change what has happened in the past but I can decide where I go in the future, now. So, I wonder to myself, as I have ever since it was first asked of me at age 14, what will I be when I grow up and realize - I guess I never grew up so I wouldn't have to decide.

My only plan is switching to another reality when need be. So imagine my surprise to discover there is another reality on PA. For some reason, I never looked in this thread before. Now, this is fun!

I won't keep it in any more.

Something has changed. Since before New Years, I cannot land a job. Even here I posted at least twice that I was off to work but both times the jobs were cancelled. One when I was 5 minutes away from the customer's house and the other as I was putting on my coat to leave for work. Then again last night, my customer called to cancel. I'm getting the calls but can't land the jobs. My phone is ringing a lot but I haven't worked in weeks. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.

I'm not upset, however. I'm not depressed. I feel fine. So I am confused. And yes, I am conflicted about money. I have very strong and adamant views about it. The way I try to bring these two things in line is by accepting things as they are. Money exists - and I need it. I wish I didn't but I do. I know I'm not the only one - we all need it.

I'm gonna be real honest here. I don't like to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, month after month, year after year. I have other interests that are far more important. And I have known this since I was a young teenager.

Ha, haa., I understand you.
When I was seven years old, I stop doing my homework. For me it made ​​no sense at all, that after eight hours in the school i have homework at home. Even I had to "pull back" then ... I'm still thinking the same.
I've been an actor in the school and later in the military service. I have a PhD (like the anglosaxons say) being a clown. :)

Was just standing outside.
Sun breaking thru the clouds.
Northern hemisphere, wintertime.
And the sun burns like in summer.
Very unlike the winter sun.
Very unusual. Very different.

I like it. Birds and trees too.

Same here in SoCal about the last 3 weeks searing sun during the day, air is cool and at night Jack Frost comes through and its freezing -up keeping a fire going into the night. The Indians around here call this type of weather the Santa Anas -translated means devil winds afterward SoCal usually is deluged with heavy rains.

I have been having restless sleep right before the full moon then fall into a very deep sleep and then wake up feeling like i haven't slept at all but refreshed.....
Have been watching the moon alot; creep up over the mtns.... and it is strange sight to behold.... the moonlight shines through rainbow halogen light swirling(s) all night...

The person who taught me the Tarot and Cartomancy gave me her Ryder deck too... I still have it to this day never used anything else, only the regular playing deck sometimes.

Going into the Baja this weekend to visit my Yaqui friends and their family.

When ever I get short of money my flow is blocked
somewhere so I get to giving back to reboot it.
Works for me . Either that or I just offer it up to
be taken care off higher up. As I said I'm a lazy Libran
I rarely do anything the 3D way . Few times I worked
for " the man" it was very short lived . So since 20 I
have made my own way, never ever, ever relied on a
man for money either, that was my parental
programming . My father had it all worked out I was
to become a nurse and marry a doctor . He even
somehow got me a place nursing without me having
to sit any entrance exams. That was all just too
scary to me so my first out was to do a science
degree, I was always good at sciences but it was
not a passion . After a year of partying and no
study i left and applied to do fashion 3 years
later I had my own business.
But the spiritual path we are on does create a lot
of conflicts no question there . But there are all for
good reasons . Simply put it gets harder and harder
to do things that are not in total alignment . Is not
Money as such but more what you are passionate
about what drives you changes . And you simply
can't do something purely for money's sake there has
to be more to it more meaning . I don't worry about
money at all I follow my path and the energy is made
available for me as I need it .
But I didnt used to be like this.
I was paralyzed with money fear and all the
time . And my fear had me hostage .
energy stopped to flow . But I did start to notice
that when I gave out in one area money would
appear in another . Since then I have a totally
different view . We are all taught that we are
lacking in some way and this manifests itself
into our lives . Practicing gratitude everyday
shifts a lot of that and trusting your higher
helpers .

So, I say to myself, "I don't care, it doesn't matter. Others are worse off than me." But I do care and it does matter, and I do empathize with the less fortunate. I can't change what has happened in the past but I can decide where I go in the future, now. So, I wonder to myself, as I have ever since it was first asked of me at age 14, what will I be when I grow up and realize - I guess I never grew up so I wouldn't have to decide.

Another way to look at it:

Yes, but if we are always evolving.... then there is nothing we can ever be -that is static. Not deciding, not living in static enforced reflection - leaves the door open to and for... change.

Have you used your cards to meditate? Each Tarot card is a door. You can enter and experience. Each card is also a "chip". Each card is like a Pen Drive. if you want experience the Mercury's energie, take the Magician .... Aries energie, enter Into the emperor (and see what is on the back of His throne .... and so on.

After a thick traffic drive which took twice as long as usual we finally arrived at the beach. My vision of termites has come true...the bases of our wooden kitchen drawers are infested with wood worm, and every bowl, strainer and sauce pan is covered in tiny heaps of almond colored dust.
Other than that all is well and I can't wait to jump in the ocean before watching a cloudless Pacific sunset.
Wishing all of you were here, especially the snow people.
So great to finally have our own Internet here...after 10 years of waiting.

One when I was 5 minutes away from the customer's house and the other as I was putting on my coat to leave for work. Then again last night, my customer called to cancel. I'm getting the calls but can't land the jobs. My phone is ringing a lot but I haven't worked in weeks. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.

I'm not upset, however.

You are. You're are coping splendidly with your upset by sucking it up and rearranging it like rearranging furniture on the Titanic... but you are upset. That's okay.

I'm not depressed.

Sure you are. Who wouldn't be.

I feel fine.

How, are you fine if...what you want is the phone to ring, and appointments to be kept? And it's not happening. If that is what you want, and it's not happening...its not fine. Just saying its fine doesn't make it fine. It didn't correct anything. And the resulting feeling from that is...not okay, maybe even depressed. This creates resistance, not solution to the 'problem (not working). So we accept that we are depressed, that we're not feeling fine, that we are not okay...instead of pushing it away and...it evaporates. Resistance gone by really feeling the feeling. That's it . that's all that is required to clear that resistance. You may have to do it once, twice, 20 times a day but it does clear it.

So I am confused. And yes, I am conflicted about money. I have very strong and adamant views about it.

You are conflicted about how you feel about money. But....If you hate it and feel anger and conflict towards it...it ain't going to come near you. If you are angry and conflicted towards me...I wouldn't come near you either...lol

Get in that feeling and feel it. Feel the pain body. Get depressed, feel the confusion instead of keeping it as thought--it will evaporate and so will the resistance.

The way I try to bring these two things in line is by accepting things as they are. Money exists - and I need it. I wish I didn't but I do. I know I'm not the only one - we all need it.

It's a convience, yes. With or without money we are going to expend something...If we go back to the gold system where we are lugging 10 pound bars of gold around....we're going ot miss money. Then we'll create another banking system to accomadate our pain. .You don't need it , it won't need you...if you begin to address how you feel about it, by feeling it, your reistance towards money will evaporate. Weirdly enough...you don't need as much anymore. This time last year, I was pulling 1700 a week. This week I'm topping at 400...I feel no dent in the way I live. I didn't become more frugal it made me aware I was buying things..I didn't want....lol.

Truth has no opposite so no one argue with the truth. Money ...we assign opposites to it. In doing this .... You're not accepting 'being' without money, the circumstances of lack, you are simply accepting the 'feeling' of money. How you feel towards it. Let it go.

I'm gonna be real honest here. I don't like to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, month after month, year after year.

That's just truth. If we are not slaves why should we like to work. Me either, big lazy arse here. If someone suggested I work 8 hours a day I'd laugh all over their coffee break. But much of what I earn isn't work....I ride horses, and write and talk to people...that's not work. To me. Now, getting out of the truck to hike my lazy arse to get gas would have been work yesterday. I would be doing something I dind't want to do. But I spend four hours before that wading in the mud leading horses back and forth for at least 3 miles of back and forth..not work.


I have other interests that are far more important.

Yes. You do.

And I have known this since I was a young teenager.

Listen to your inner child.

My resentment for having to work like that festered and grew until age 45. One day on the ride to work I had this powerful feeling that NO MORE! I turned around and went home, quit my job and started my business. It has sustained me in my current lifestyle, which is frugal, for the last 8 years.

You got stuck somewhere with a self limiting belief or feeling. You are conflicted about money so a state of frugality was called in .Call it back out again. Gotta call out the feeling though to do that. If we are conflicted with money ....that which we are conflicted over will be very undependanble. so going from being sustained in what we do,to being supported in who we really is the goal.

A lot of stuff had to go to live like this, and went it did. There was never much money from that point on, not like before. From the beginning the sustaining thought for me was, "I could get the call tomorrow." That is, the right guy with the right sized project would one day call and I'd be okay from then on. Still waiting...And here it comes - I never wanted to be an electrician. If the job posted in the paper that day had been: "Wanted, apprentice plumber. No experience required. Will train.", I'd be a plumber. But here's the most honest part, I never wanted to be anything at all. I had too many interests to narrow it down like that. So fate decided for me. And here I am.

I noted somewhere earlier up thread we are seldom successful or energized doing what we don't feel like doing. BEing who I am means, horses, counseling , and writing. And that is what supports me. When I accepted that... I had more work than I could choose from. My family does not consider this 'real jobs' but they are fixed incomes. The more I want to do, doing what i like to do....just doing it...here comes more money.

So, I say to myself, "I don't care, it doesn't matter.

It DOES MATTER...to you. This is acceptance. Accepting we feel this way. It's okay. See ? Just accepting it didn't make the barn burn down did it? You're not accepting the circumstances, you are accepting that you are feeling that way

Others are worse off than me.

Other People are worse off than me too. Maybe I'm worse off than you financially. But ... If being worse off than others would change thiings for them, I'm sure you'd do it. But it doesn't change anything for them does it? Is someone's cancer going to be cured because you didn't have any work this week? if I thought that for one minute being broke for a week would help someone else ...I'd do it. But I found out if I have more, I can pay someone's electric bill for them.

You're just losing your slave mentality we have all been attached for so long. It's messy confusing process to lose our attachments.

Yes attachments messy things and these
patterns can go back many generations.
The good news is the whole toxic mess
can stop with us . We have the power

Ernie thanks for sharing , you are by no
means alone on this one. Im sure it's quite
intentional that we are programmed to stay
in lack thinking and to dislike money .
just think how fast we could turn this mess
around if all the resources were turned over
to those with the highest intentions ...

And it's always such a controversial topic
amongst light worker types we are meant to
denounce money to be " spiritual" . But Its
my conjuncture that this is programming and total
mythology that money has been " charged" as evil .
That's from the perception of greed and not from the
perception of love . To me love and money are the
same thing . This week I gave someone who needed
to eat the balance of my bank account
is that not love ??

I envy and covet your statement.....no one could have said it better.


Exactly.
My beef with the whole new age movement is
too much fluff on the outside and too much
neurosis on the inside .
Neurosis on the outside means at least a person
is working at integrating their shadow .
Why you have so much porn in the closets of
hard core religious conservative types . The shadow
will always try to express whether you like it or not
Better to make friends with it that become bitter and
twisted trying to run from it . Love shadow work these
days it's where the depth and richness of life lives .

Yesterday morning....rain to freezing rain to snow to sleet and back to rain. This morning all we had was a little freezing rain causing ice patches, followed by an afternoon of high winds. Good weather to stay inside snuggled up next to a crackling fire with a good book and steaming hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream...mmmm.

Here and Now...catching up. I so love the Village energy. I hope I contribute to it in a positive way. School meeting was 3 and a half freaking hours long. I am constantly reminded why I no longer teach. There are people who really care, and their hands are tied by those who are overpaid, over-connected to politicians and policymakers, and under-connected to students. It is a constant battle to keep education individualized for my daughter, who cannot function, let alone excel, in the cookie-cutter model. I fought the school district where I worked because they wanted me to re-code all of my students, making them all fit into one categorization. Well, of course I absolutely will not do that when it is not only illegal but unjust. And I have been fighting, tooth and nail, every step of the way for my daughter, from the time she was 3 until...well, still. And she turns 16 tomorrow. Today's meeting was so that the school could correct, in writing, my daughter's plan, which has not been followed in the first place, but also which was not meeting her needs. Since they were in violation of the law by not following it, and since I began copying the superintendent of the school district (that has 37,000 students), they decided to try to "fix" things. I already withdrew her from public school, and it was a complete waste of time. But they needed it to cover their arses. Woohoo for them. We attended because if we had not they would have decided anything they wanted and legally would have been allow to change things without our knowledge. On the one hand, it wouldn't have mattered since she doesn't attend there. But, it is my hope she can return to public school when we get into a smaller environment. The plan follows her wherever she goes.

The Turrialba volcano has mysteriously calmed down again, and I attribute it to our Village energy. Very strange.
But nothing surprises me after the way a villager woke me up last night.

Now we have to try and help Ernie discover who he really is.

What is shadow work?

Much Love,

Shadow work.
In a nut shell is bringing forward and making friends with your inner demons,
all the things you don't like about yourself. It's a layers thing and a gradual process.
When i first found out about the shadow self through reading Jung,
i was like " i don't have a shadow". .lol .Boy was i wrong, lol.
It took me a while to have the guts to fess up to all the things i had
buried. The things you "stuff" inside, avoid , deny, run from,
like your projections onto others are parts of your shadow.
You need to be brutally honest with yourself to do it completely.
And that's a real challenge for some.
Depressive episodes i renamed as Shadow Work and i
learned to embrace those times rather than go into melt down.
The important thing to realize is that its a process,
it has an ending, to allow the feelings come to the surface,
and process them, rather than avoid, hide from them.
That's what causes people to get stuck in long term
depression, and grief, the inability to process their emotions,
and move through to the other end of the tunnel.
It's always darkest before the dawn, etc, etc.

You can't " know thy self" fully without doing shadow work, IMO and IME
And it sets you free BIG TIME!
The end result being wholeness, integration.

No shadow work leads to neurosis,
and the shadow can even get bigger than
your non shadow self.. we see that a fair bit in
mental illnesses. And in those that have stuffed
our planet up. Psychopaths.. total shadow.

In my case, started out with piano lessons, since it was something I could do when ill during childhood. I found out quickly that it was a wonderful way for me to release emotions a child is not normally allowed to do. Anger, fear, loneliness, depression, frustration...all released and ultimately transformed to peace through playing. Could be one of the reasons I am fairly even tempered most of the time.

Joined a lot of music groups in high school and ultimately attempted to get a degree in music. Never did get my degree...severe performance anxiety when playing solo. Because I would open myself completely when I played, it felt like 'walking naked down main street' when performing for others and I would end up getting nauseus and lightheaded.

Long story short...marriage, children, divorce. Left with two children and a mortgage to pay after being a stay at home mom, I turned to the only thing I knew...music. I couldn't believe I actually got paid for doing something I loved so much! Because I had to pay bills, the performance anxiety didn't seem quite so bad anymore. I used to pretend I had a paper bag over my head in an attempt to be 'invisible' when working...kind of like the unknown comic, only being the unknown pianist. It sounds silly to me now...today I find my greatest asset is the ability to 'bare my soul' when playing and allow the music to 'speak through me'. Now that's real music therapy!

Today I'm old enough to pick and choose the work I take...wow, I still find it hard to call it work.

A flutist I work with occasionally emailed me the following video of a David Lanz interview taken around the time of the release of "Sacred Road". She said she had heard his words coming out of my mouth before and thought I would enjoy it.

The only suggestion I can make to Ernie is to follow your bliss and the money will come. Whatever you do, do it from your heart and the pure enjoyment of it. If you love it, others will as well.

Bom dia a todos

Happy to report that I nailed my friggatriskaidekaphobia!
Naaah, its the number 39 I dont really like ;)
and spinach


Ulli, thank goodness the volcano calmed down

Watching the "Sh*t New Age girls say" and the ensuing comments, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry either.
So whats with the label anyhow?
And the judgment?
Is it a religion?
Isnt "new age" just a transition?
A melting/merging of east & west?
A letting go of old?
Doesnt astrology, smudging, crystals,candles, shamanism etc fall into this bracket?
And karma?
Pantheism?
Doesnt it help to got through all that to get to this?

My spiritual longing has taken me along speedy highways with short pit stops, and tranquil byways where I often stopped, for picnics . All was welcome.
As I keep saying to my "Christian" father: The journey matters not, the destination is the same.

I've been floundering a bit on PA. Wondering if I should just give it up and spend my time more 'productively'. As I have decided to NOT stockpile gold or silver or food or water or guns and ammo, maybe I was in the wrong forum.

My only plan is switching to another reality when need be. So imagine my surprise to discover there is another reality on PA. For some reason, I never looked in this thread before. Now, this is fun!

From hasty meal [no good] 'cos
"damn, late for work" upheaval, to
serene perceiver-only in seconds.
Sirius; Orion nebula with the naked eye.
Sucking me into it.
Funny watching mind "say" stuff.
"Not now, there's no time for this".
Detached. Quiet, calm. Then, hands
caressing the curtains; watching
furniture and wondering at... everything.
How is it that it's always a smoke which
brings me there?
It's so easy.
Yet, the most hidden.

Just as a reminder, this.

I won't keep it in any more.

Something has changed. Since before New Years, I cannot land a job. Even here I posted at least twice that I was off to work but both times the jobs were cancelled. One when I was 5 minutes away from the customer's house and the other as I was putting on my coat to leave for work. Then again last night, my customer called to cancel. I'm getting the calls but can't land the jobs. My phone is ringing a lot but I haven't worked in weeks. Just when I thought I had it all figured out.

I'm not upset, however. I'm not depressed. I feel fine. So I am confused. And yes, I am conflicted about money. I have very strong and adamant views about it. The way I try to bring these two things in line is by accepting things as they are. Money exists - and I need it. I wish I didn't but I do. I know I'm not the only one - we all need it.



Join the club. I've been looking for work since losing my job in November last year (and to be honest, I never even really had that job as I didn't last past the training...). Had many interviews. Everything I've done seems fine, employers have been impressed with my presentation and skillls - but I still can't land the positions... And with me, there's a real presure for me to earn a bit extra money to help support my family so its getting tough for me. Luckily Australia has fairly good social security, so we're not going without - but it's pretty tight.

I don't know - maybe it's because our energy isn't really invested in the monetary system - we know it doen't work and only participate begrudgingly because we have to...so there's not enough energy for us to make it reallly well... I'm not sure :confused:

Either way I can see the current system about to fall so it's not all bad, and I look forward to the day (within my lifetime) when the economic system is a lot fairer on us who do not fully conform in society....

Please, guys, join the Village, but be careful of joining the club. In the "club" there may be lots of discussion about the evil monetary system, the evil job racketeers, the evil elite, which will only have your heads spinning longer.
Here in the Village we are working on finding out what we each have to offer, what we love doing, what our ideal self expression would be. And it doesn't have to be only one thing. There are lots of jobs that may not be well paid but that are fun. Like gardening, even street sweeping. Reducing expenses is step one. Cheaper places can be found in the country side. Then try and see yourself offering some service, something where people smile back at you if you do it with an open heart.
Stop focusing on your view of a world gone wrong, just look at your immediate here and now and start improving that little world.
Baby steps. Organize your closet, hang up your trousers, help around the house...your home. Make it nice.
Small actions like that, done in a spirit of fresh new start, open the flow to get the ball rolling.

it has been taken or given up .
It's really a time for creating bridges for

We all know the old has to collapse in

out in the micro , all things being
holographic . So reports coming in
of people having trouble connecting
with the 3D " system " are encouraging
as it is showing us that those connections
are breaking down . This is where the
solutions will be found by connecting with
each other and local communities rather than
the old system . It's all good.

I had a dream the other day, one that I remembered in total when I woke up. I haven't remembered my dreams, except for snippets, for several years. So it was a biggie for me. In the dream I was looking at buying a house, an old Victorian. It was the same one owned by an authority figure in my life back in New Hampshire, except INSIDE it was hugely expanded. It was the size of a city block and in need of some repair, gorgeous embellishments and very solid/sound. On the outside it was a Queen Anne Victorian, but inside the top (3rd) floor was like a mansard roof so the space was all usable.

I knew the lower floor was for me to live in, partially. The middle floor for teaching classes, and the top floor would be for community projects involving children. Teaching them.

Mary Summer Rain says a house indicates the mind, and a roof 'signifies one's highest priorities, highest capping thoughts.' That sounds about right.

Your Avatar says you are in Spain. Is that picture taken there as well?
Last night on the news they were talking about how cold it was in Valencia. I feel for those people. My husband studied there and could remember how cold it used to be. But what with global warming the winters are getting colder...a sure sign of weather forecasting gone wrong.
My dad was a farmer and always used to bitch about the weather forecast.
When I was younger I defined my basic needs, and discovered that hot climate has me functioning better than cold.
Me off to the beach now...nice sunny day here.

And on the rhythm of the job seekers...
I have been living with a driver's license and passport and a few bundles of clothing for a number of years now...not a 'ting else anywhere elsewhere. Have had plenty of work to do in the "day to day to do's "wherever I go...whether helping out or volunteering or working for a few bucks physically. in the semi-quasi-3d world..it has all come to be...and all provisions have been there
As most of you know I am with my kids and grandkids now after some pretty awesome travels...just finished putting away the dishes, some vacuuming, a bit of trash and doggie clean-up...grandkids are in the living room playing 'twister'...I'm on the 'puter.
About to step into some more steady work to help daughter out with household going on's...meetings next week...will give an update so as to keep the flow of flow of what's being shared in the here and now.
We are embarking on a whole new way of being...and "being" the whole new way to your own personal likings with a giving spirit brings the rest of the best to the doorway.

Well done, Marianne.
Not only for remembering, but the content of the dream is just perfect.
Make sure next time you go there you can also see some of us Villagers there with our brooms and buckets...
large mansions need quite a bit of staff to maintain them in tip-tip condition.
I know of a good electrician already in case you want to do any rewiring.

Here and Now...today has more potential than any past. I feel it. I sense it. I radiate it. May it touch all who visit the Village.

Going for a second trip to the country. Looking some more at the "new place." Depending on the second look, will try to put a deal together good for all. Taking our preteen, whose band director I spoke of earlier. When I told her about moving "out" ...she asked if she could start packing. She is a special one, she is. If she wants, can hear people's thoughts. We have been working on understanding and utilizing our energies. Well, ok, she's been working on her bubble. And we did this majorly cool exercise where I showed her how she could gather up some of her energy from her bubble and throw it and someone else could feel it. Makes it real for her, and she LOVES it. This is the daughter that announced to me one day that if you can tap into the collective consciousness, you could know "like....everything!" She wants horses in the worst way, so she will be spending a lot of time sneaking apples and plums to our 3 new friends at the fence :)

It's chilly, but will get to 65F today. Will be a beautiful day for a drive and a beautiful day for....everything.

Today is my baby's 16th birthday. She started the celebration last night, culminating in a call from our favorite men in uniform. *sigh* It resulted, finally, in the arrest of the predatory sh*thead whose abusive energy continues to pull at her and become too much for her to resist. Our favorite men in uniform had a chat with hubby about this ... no word for him... they know him quite well. And they understand poor baby's plight all to well. Thus, she is returned lovingly home and the bstrd is lovingly delivered to jail. She is such a loving, loving soul. Does not fit into this reality. She will love the new world. We stay up late at night and talk...frequently. She is the one, who when asked about religion, replies that she believes in goddesses. So, building on that, she now understands that she is a goddess... a part of goddess... goddess. And as goddess, she is absolutely perfect. She is looking for the lessons to learn in the here and now that is oh-so painful. She says the move will either make or break her. I have a hunch this is correct. So, I will do everything I possibly can to tip the balances for her, as bipolar keeps them tipped against her. A small, clicky town...friends are hard to come by in the first place...heavy because of meds...many of the issues she faces will be taken care of by the clean, pure air and energies. Some, alas, will continue to present themselves. But this might just be the time to heal that she needs.

So, today I say... is a day full of potential. The light energies are strong in me and strong around me. My heart hopes this is the case for everyone who visits the Village.

That's because the regulars here have learnt the art of give and take.
Neither one, nor the other, but BOTH.
Once the BOTH principle is understood then the flow of real life begins,
and can gain greater and greater momentum.

As long as each one can be BOTH, giver and taker, teacher and learner,
supportive and be supported, then the vibration will continue to increase in frequency.

Being stuck in one mode only will in time create a dam burst that can lead to the demise of a thread.
Such is the nature of dynamics.

Much, Much Love to you all,

YAY!!!!!
She is in this reality to learn to become an individual, with boundaries, her own spirit being.
Goddess, even.
Tell her that all those who are learning the opposite lesson...that of All is One, are right, too.
But they are coming from a different place in the universe, that of overly individualized existence,
where too much ego has created negative karma for them.
Meanwhile others who come to earth from the higher worlds where more merging has already occurred,
these sensitive souls need to learn self definition first,
so as to be protected against energies that have not yet learnt the lessons of respect.
It _seems_ unfair how often they end up under one roof....

I really love bees. I can't speak for the African ones but the NorthEastern ones and the bumblebees are just such sweet beings. Nectar eaters are my kind of critters. I love the humming/buzzing of them as well. Back in the day when there were oodles of them I could stick my head into a flowering bush, look for an empty flower to sniff and they would all just thrum around me like I was one of them.

But it's only a question of time and this reality will return.

Ohhhhhhh Ulli! Thank you. It's too much for words .... the bees playing in pollen dust, fruits & veggies growing and ripening, and the BATS! I love those little critters, they do so much good ... they can fly in my hair anytime. Are those saguaro cactus flowers they are noshing on?

Modwiz, I believe the opening flower is an American Maypop (aka passionflower, as in the passion of christ). They grow wild here on the mountain, and I remember stomping on the fruits as a kid, to hear the pop, not a very respectful thing to do to such a nice plant. I have since apologized to the Maypop deva. :)

Yes, I forgot to mention bats, one of my totems. Both animals so under pressure from the poisoning of the environment. Just a little longer and things will turn around and their numbers will return again.

I rescued a bat from two cats I live with. It had gotten into the Tower and the cats espied it. A wing got a little nicked by no real problem. I caught it in my hat wearing a glove. I was able to look into its face and eyes. A bond developed at that moment. I now feel very comfortable when they dive bomb me on Summer nights, eating insects that I attract.

Yes, what should I be when I grow up. What would I love to do? Transpersonal teacher would be my first choice. I'd settle for yoga teacher though. Or teacher of anything for that matter, even electrical would be nice. Or writer - but that can't earn your keep, I'm told. Free energy device installer would be acceptable too. Or benign ruler of the world - if that position is open. I'd say that ruler's court jester but I'm not that funny. hehe

It does. I was told the same fable. What we are 'told' is far different than the truth of the matter. Is it easy? Depends on how much you like to write. Many of my posts, from as far back as...2003 have caught the eyes of people who want me to go off forum and write something to expand on any given topic.

Another fable: You will be rejected many times before you get a hit.

Not true.

My first article was actually found on a forum , just a commentary on writing itself and was published by a well respected speculative fiction market. No effort on my part.

When I become serious about writing, most everything I had been told about it turned out to be false. For people who limit themselves in writing I suppose this stuff could be true.

All sorts of weird fables about writing. Neither is it true if you put a question mark on your opening pages of any given story will it be automatically rejected. But a lot of new writers tend to believe this rumor and then start creating their own self limiting beliefs from it.



If you were a free energy installer..I'd be your first customer.

Speaking of Tarot... my favorite is the Robin Wood deck. The artwork and symbolism are comfortable to me.
I just shuffled and drew a card for this moment. I am not sure if it's for me or for Ernie, perhaps both and others too.

SEVEN OF CUPS
http://www.learntarot.com/rbc7.gif
Interpretations are not mine, just copy/pasted.

Some Questions the Seven of Cups Asks Us:

--How do my life events serve as oracles?
--What if I approached every choice as if it were always the right one?
--What would my life be like if everything I require for my every success is always available to me?
--If my life were a giant pool of water, what kind of reflections would I see in it? (Consequences of choice)
--Am I distracted by the diversity before me? If so, how can I obtain clear focus?

'Robin's Seven of Cups features a woman with more-than-ample golden hair; locks intermingling with seven distinctively different cups, with interesting contents spilling/peeking out of each cup.

I really appreciated how Robin spoke of dreams as that which, "...all our goals and aspirations come, and this card represents the beginning of that journey. The seed from which they all spring, and the choice about which path to take." As children grow up, sometimes dreams and hopes for the future are squashed into the ground by well-meaning adults, teachers, professionals and peers around them. When a person isn't fully in touch with themselves and feeling rather unsure, it doesn't take much to watch one's own hopes and dreams go down the drain, based solely on naysayers/thwarters and so-called-practical-reasons. It's my feeling that fear...both fear within the person and fear governing those around him/her, has probably been the culprit resulting in more mega-dream-squashing than anything else. But as we continue to grow, hopefully we become better in touch with our own dreams and feelings and wishes. And hopefully, fear and negativity no longer rules our decisions anymore. Hopefully, we learn to trust our instincts and gut-feelings that we were born with.

Of course all dreams and no action, or no preparation for action, will not give positive, long-standing results.

Upright, the Seven of Cups may show that there are indeed many options to choose from and that one is not tied into just one path. It reminds me of the benefits of brainstorming (with myself and with others); looking at all the possibilities before choosing what's best. The Seven of Cups would be a most welcome card when one feels they're in a rut...as it can be a potent reminder for us to open our minds and hearts to new ideas, situations, relationships, etc.'

Sorry 9eagles, but that would be me. I was first in line.
I even offered to pay expenses.

Unless he takes your advice about writing, and his career takes off.
I already stated that he is a great writer, with an amazing talent.
But of course, we all know that he fears success.

Success means putting dirty money into his pockets, money that has passed through other people's grubby fingers.
Yucky, yucky.

Whatever, I get it. Like I said, no worries.

I just want to quickly touch on another area altogether.

Since starting this focus on the material thingie, I've noticed something strange. A passing shadow in the corner of my eye. It constantly catches my eye and I immediately think it's a person. But when I turn my head, no one is there. The last few days I have been secretly attentive to this apparition. I won't even admit what I'm doing to myself, until now. I don't want to make it happen - I want to figure out what is happening...
So I've watched this thing closely. Mostly, I see it behind and to the side above my head. I feel it. It makes my skin tingle around the sides of my face. Sometimes it gets itchy a little. I've almost "seen" it but I think my mind balks at fleshing it out - my mind resists giving me a mental picture of it.
It's like a "hole" that doesn't fit the background. When you look at the "hole" the mind just fills in the background instead. So you have to look fast to see it, you have to snap a picture of it. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I want to "see" in that "hole". See what's there. If anything.

I've always sensed "something" but never really troubled myself with it before. I know sometimes there is a mundane explanation - but not always. Sometimes I think it might be someone looking in on me telepathically, but other times it does not feel that way at all. Never fear or negative sense to it either - or love or a positive sense. No sense of affiliation, or of sentience.
And I've sensed negative presence before and positive many times, so I have a referent.

Any ideas what I might be "seeing/sensing"?

Perhaps latent "talent", I've been thinking lately. Too new to understand yet, perhaps.
Or technology...too much computer. Other waves?
Not sure.

Lisa, I've never drawn 7 Cups before, but it does seem to fit my life at the moment. My takeaway is to replace dreaming with action! I also liked these two points:

--What if I approached every choice as if it were always the right one?
--What would my life be like if everything I require for my every success is always available to me?

They both set fire to my imagination and will to achieve my goals.

1IM, you were asking about shadow work. Astrid is the go-to person for shadow info, but thought I'd share mine too. I began doing shadow work about 12 years ago, but abandoned it. Here are 2 resources I found helpful then: (which I just dug out today)

Meeting the Shadow: The Hidden Power of the Dark Side of Human Nature. Edited by Connie Zweig. This book is a compilation of essays written by Jung, Joseph Campbell, Robert Bly, Marie-Louise von Franz, and many others.

'Owning Your Own Shadow' by Robert A. Johnson. It's a small book and very readable. If you want a gentle dip into reading this subject, I'd recommend this one.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21mivn0%2BMVL.jpg

'Shadow Dance: Liberating the Power & Creativity of Your Dark Side' by David Richo is the one I'm currently working through.

You did this while I did that prior post...

Yes...I have experienced this intensely...as have others I know personally!

Actually...David Icke talks about it when he was writing his early books he was 'guided' to write. Someone, something always there with him...quick look time and again, nothing there, sense of being watched, sense of being accompanied.

I had it go on rather powerfully in that 3 weeks of high vibration...it has come to be my friend. It comes and goes still today in the now.
Others will probably go more in depth...but it is and was 'simply' a nudger for me.

Like "Hey, I'm here...nudging You...nope, you don't get to see me, no need, just look ahead and go!"

A friend who lives in Galicia, northern Spain, told me this story. A cloistered nun who entered the convent at age 16, left the convent with the permission of his superior. His father was ill and died . Since then, he has not returned to the convent. This woman has discovered a new world. The convent call back persistently. She is on Reiki courses, natural medicine ..... she is now 63, and discovering a new world. She'll never return to the convent. :)

The shadow self is not a concept exactly. Like an idea of the ego. It can project itself, just like other facets of ourselves will project outwards. Shadow self is composed of density. It is denser literally than something of yourself that is lighter. So it casts a shadow. The best way for you to understand this is that it casts a shadow into our aura. That portion of the aura being denser now is more readily seen,....espeically from the corners of the eye--- for a variety of reasons I will not go into here. But basically when one is shown their own aura their first attempts to view it are peripherally.

The more work we do on our density ...the shadow becomes less and less in relation to that. So this is a undefined form. When you begn to identify your feelings and beliefs don't be suprised if it begins to take on clearer outline or form. It is composed of projection. That is when it becomes more apparent, it's darker before the 'dawn'.

Given the placement and how you are seeing it, I woudn't leap to the conclusion you have an attachment , which is something someone may impose on you. A shadow self itself is composed of attachments to feelings and beliefs that don't serve us; I wouldn't completely discount it but due to the placement , its just unlikely. And because this is composed of dense feelings, it would be difficult at this point to be able to arrange that shadow into mental picture. Because it is composited of so many dense layers of emotions and even belief and feelings that oppose each other--confusion. One's mind has a hard time bringing into clarity a mental picture based on confusion.

Nice story, but I have to make some corrections.
Our English speakers might not understand what you are saying here, Dan, as like many other Spanish speakers you have confused the words "his" and "hers".
Don't worry, my husband does it, too.
In these three instances:
The nun left with permission of HER superior.
HER father was ill and died.
Since then SHE has not returned to the convent.

No accidents .
They like to appear at important junctures of your life when you are at a cross
road and trying to figure things out . Go by how it feels . To me it yours feels
loving and compassionate. Let it know you are aware of it's presence and
are not afraid, is the first step and open all your senses to receive.
Often the ones that come in at important times are part of your soul group
that are there to encourage and support your transitions to make sure you
make it " across the bridge" , which is where you are at now.
A whole new world awaits you . When you open to one you will open to
many, there's no going back, welcome to my world , lol .
I have so many coming and going these days that some have set up an
office here , lol . It's a big part of why I'm doing formal Shamanic training
to get stronger with my direct communication with them .

Once when at a really low point I was feeling terribly lonely,
and sitting at my Mac sobbing . Then I felt this caress on
my neck and a breath the energy sig was so familiar to me
that I was quickly comforted and realized in my core that
I am anything but alone . Since then I made it known that
any compassionate spirits that care to assist me are more
than welcome to come through, I never imagined there
would be so many . Being incarnate is a gift many
souls wont come here as it's known as a very tough gig.
But they are more than happy to help out if we need them .
We are the bridges here, connecting spirit with matter.
We can do things spirit can't because we have a body .
Our elastic multi dimensionality makes us so special and
able to work across many dimensions, this is our gift,
and where our power lies.
When you start to connect to spirit in your awareness, everything shifts .
The trick is in the listening skills. How they get through to us
is so much more subtle than how we communicate in the physical .
When you learn to hear them your life becomes spirit led and much more
effortless .
These days for me, my life Is only compassionate spirit led, I don't
have to navigate through the soup anymore I have teams doing that for
me . My Job is to be a good bridge. The love that comes through when you
are working with them is like nothing else . Romantic love , meh , spirit love
is exponentially higher which is how you can identify compassionate spirits
from non-compassionate ones. And when you have a compassionate
team you are also totally protected, they are your gate keepers.

The fact that one has appeared at this juncture is indicating that it's time
for you to start moving into doing what you really actually here
to do , and at some level you will already know that .
Teacher, mentor sounds right, that is the one of the main roles we will
have in the new paradigm . Your spirits will work through you and
guide you to assist , basically we become spirit guides
in human form for those that are waking up .

I once read a nice analogy...not sure where. Some channeled material, no doubt.
They said that us who are living in a body are like deep sea divers at the bottom of a deep ocean trench, doing a complex job, and are connected with the ship above by a thin communication line.
They up there are worried about our welfare and can't wait for us to come back up and report on our work.

I had an experience with my soul group once as a teenager. I've always rationally attributed it to too much mood enhancers, but on another level I never forgot the experience and found it very profound.
I went into trance and left my body. I reappeared in the middle of about five or six entities in a circle that surrounded me. There I asked many deep and probing questions and was told all the answers, which I promptly forgot upon my return. The beings were luminous and transluscent. They told me I was part of their group and I was on a mission, that's all I was to remember. They were in the background of my life always ready to assist, I now remember them saying. They said many other things, things I'll now contemplate on remembering. Thanks Astrid.

Is there any hot chai around? Would be nice in this cold..

Your Avatar says you are in Spain. Is that picture taken there as well?
Last night on the news they were talking about how cold it was in Valencia. I feel for those people. My husband studied there and could remember how cold it used to be. But what with global warming the winters are getting colder...a sure sign of weather forecasting gone wrong.
My dad was a farmer and always used to bitch about the weather forecast.
When I was younger I defined my basic needs, and discovered that hot climate has me functioning better than cold.
Me off to the beach now...nice sunny day here.

Oh, I forgot to change that one.. I'm in the north again. Soon I'm off to Iberia again though :)

Here and now I just finished watching Matrix. Not a bad mix of movies we've seen the last days, my sister and I: Truman show, Into the wild, Food Inc., American Beauty, Matrix.. All of them spiritual in it's own sense..

Would like to read all the posts here since I was in the village last time, but lord I'm sleepy.

Good Night!

Beautiful day here in the North West, my 21 year old son was out building snow aliens with our first measurable snow fall! Life is good...

This is about the birds and the bees.
See how this makes you feel, especially in the midst of winter.

But it's only a question of time and this reality will return.

Ohhhhhhh Ulli! Thank you. It's too much for words .... the bees playing in pollen dust, fruits & veggies growing and ripening, and the BATS! I love those little critters, they do so much good ... they can fly in my hair anytime. Are those saguaro cactus flowers they are noshing on?

Modwiz, I believe the opening flower is an American Maypop (aka as passionflower, as in the passion of christ). They grow wild here on the mountain, and I remember stomping on the fruits as a kid, to hear the pop, not a very respectful thing to do to such a nice plant. I have since apologized to the Maypop deva. :)

Yes, I forgot to mention bats, one of my totems. Both animals so under pressure from the poisoning of the environment. Just a little longer and things will turn around and their numbers will return again.

I rescued a bat from two cats I live with. It had gotten into the Tower and the cats espied it. A wing got a little nicked by no real problem. I caught it in my hat wearing a glove. I was able to look into its face and eyes. A bond developed at that moment. I now feel very comfortable when they dive bomb me on Summer nights, eating insects that I attract.

So they are using you as bait Modwiz. Clever little buggers eh?

Street lamps and people are lures for flying insects, their food source. Glad to help out.

Whatever, I get it. Like I said, no worries.

I just want to quickly touch on another area altogether.

Since starting this focus on the material thingie, I've noticed something strange. A passing shadow in the corner of my eye. It constantly catches my eye and I immediately think it's a person. But when I turn my head, no one is there. The last few days I have been secretly attentive to this apparition. I won't even admit what I'm doing to myself, until now. I don't want to make it happen - I want to figure out what is happening...
So I've watched this thing closely. Mostly, I see it behind and to the side above my head. I feel it. It makes my skin tingle around the sides of my face. Sometimes it gets itchy a little. I've almost "seen" it but I think my mind balks at fleshing it out - my mind resists giving me a mental picture of it.
It's like a "hole" that doesn't fit the background. When you look at the "hole" the mind just fills in the background instead. So you have to look fast to see it, you have to snap a picture of it. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I want to "see" in that "hole". See what's there. If anything.

I've always sensed "something" but never really troubled myself with it before. I know sometimes there is a mundane explanation - but not always. Sometimes I think it might be someone looking in on me telepathically, but other times it does not feel that way at all. Never fear or negative sense to it either - or love or a positive sense. No sense of affiliation, or of sentience.
And I've sensed negative presence before and positive many times, so I have a referent.

Any ideas what I might be "seeing/sensing"?

Perhaps latent "talent", I've been thinking lately. Too new to understand yet, perhaps.
Or technology...too much computer. Other waves?
Not sure.

Hi Ernie, I don't know what you are seeing but I see the same very things too. I had an eye test a few days ago and they also gave me a peripheral test. I had to look at four dots in the center of the screen and a white dot would appear on the periphery. I was to press a button when it appeared and after the first test I asked how I scored and she said 101% I seemingly pressed when there was no white light. She gave me another test and I scored 100% so if that is anything to go by, well, if I see shadows on my periferal they ARE there and most certainly yours are there too.
Don't know what they are though.

Stan

EDIT something to add here: I can hardly see anything in front of me but by God my peripheral is in good shape!

14th January 2012, 23:44
I have seen movement in my periphery, and also when a moment is profound, there are *always* bright pin points of light to accompany it. This has been the case for my entire life. Since about 4 years ago, with particular developments, the lights have been bluey purple, pretty indigo, but before, they were always white. Integration of the shadow precedes the integration of the higher self. A few days before the shadow discussion here and now, I was having it IRL with one of my 'pupils' who is 20 years my senior. Everyone I'm given to work with seems to be older (than me) and female. Don't know what that's about.

Hi PurpleLama maybe your Moon with aspect to Saturn with house 3/9 polarity something like that maybe. I have my moon in house 11 of friends amongst other meanings and I have always had lots of girl friends. Of the Plutonic kind.

The post formatting from my iphone is tres ugly, and my spelling sucks majorly right now.
Oh well, soon we won't need to worry about such things as cumbersome as words on a page.

Here and now i have really been noticing shifts.

Yesterday something seriously moved ahead in my world, and my energy was very clean and clear.
It manifested here in me cleaning and clearing physical spaces. But i know this means i have moved into new
and supportive energies. Buzzing too, waves and waves of energy this time, from head to foot,
usually i feel it from foot to head. So i must be working more in the upper realms right now,
makes sense given my studies.
I had planned to spend today working through my journeying homework, so all good.
I am noticing more and more that first the energy is made available to me, then the
task moves forward, seamlessly. Like that concept i was once taught by spirit, to
" send the medicine" forward, so when you get to the task everything you need is
there for you. Not only is there no resistance, there is much power on hand.
So it's essentially maneuvering time and space, to manifest. If you don't have
it on hand, call on a part of your timeline when you do.

I just added to my journey list to go to the Costa Rica Volcano to see what she has to say for herself.
That and a racehorse that is having issues at the gate, are two main things i want to look at.

It's funny, the spirits are all lined up waiting for me to open that doorway,
they just love to work. The hold up is always me, getting focused, free from
distractions and trying to battle with this tricky thing here called time management.
But its not even that, something else holds me back, and i can't quite
grasp what it is.. I think the past still pull at me, other things i "should" to be doing
( for others) so i can't justify to myself playing in non - ordinary reality.
Maybe a Libran, guilt thing.

Sometimes it's a bit of a process of negotiation with the mind. I thank the
mind for it's opinions, and concerns, like, "you have to pay the phone bill",
blah, blah, blah, etc. Then i get to what i was trying to do, Sometimes the mind
is a real pain in the arse.. but that's less so for me these days.

Also... all that talk yesterday about work and money has shifted a few things for me,
that i have been stalled on. "Unpacking" issues like we are doing here has that effect,
it helps to move around energies that are jammed up. The benefit of having everyone share their
POV is that is shifts your perspective and opens more possibilities that you may not have thought
off before. Which is 3D speak for, getting energy moving again, old out and then new can come in.
New can't come in unless there is room for it, and you are open to it.

Right now I'm working on my second Chakra, it has been jammed up for ages, and it has me
stumped. I know there is something crucial i am missing, something fundamental, a basic concept
i never mastered, or was damaged.. yes its wound related. This is my main current task,
and its frustrating the hell out of me. There is something "they" want me to look at
and i just can't see it. At least i know the general area i have focus on,
that can be half the battle at times.

I was just told that i have actually just
answered all my own questions, i just have to
shift around the sequence of things. ..

Take one thing that works and apply it to something that
needs to work, simple.. And stop compartmentalizing
its a bad habit, fluid is the only way, remove the walls.


Never seen Magnolia, cool thanks,
will add that one to my list.

Here and now...exhausted. Absolutely exhausted. Nothing like clean, fresh air to give you a good night's sleep...I hope. Love the new place, signing papers Monday (as my mom used to say, "if the lord's willin and the creek don't rise" lmao). translation: if all goes well, or if it is supposed to be.

Tons of work will fill my future days. Peaches, plums, pears, apples, blackberries...and too many for one family for sure. Mrs. Somebody or other across the street likes the pears, comes and gets some when they are ripe and makes pear butter. Mr. Somebody else let's people come get firewood from the trees that have fallen on his property. Last year there was a garden, so cultivating that won't take too much, and since the neighbors have horses there will be plenty of fertilizer and very rich soil...yummy tomatoes. They set poles in the ground for a new pole barn, but not planning on horses so we are making that into a very cool clubhouse w/slide and swings for the kids. Hubby already planning catfish for the pond. The extra side building/room is a perfect teenage room, but beware of pasture parties. Oh, my. There is one schoolbus, stops at the end of the driveway...all students no matter the age ride the same bus. There are NO drugs allowed in this school or on this bus. Kids adhere to the dress code/hair, etc. or they are sent home. If kids can't follow the rules, they are sent home or removed from the district.

Now, that's different.

Didn't take long for the bigotry to surface. As I expected. That won't be around forever. Hubby making plans to dig a well and we haven't even signed anything lol. Planning a rain barrel, too.

Yes, this will be a make or break move. But, it's just like that tarot card said, I will make this move the right decision.

Much Love,

There are several works out there that claim cetaceans are of the same complexity and ensoulment as human beings, but without the extremes of our ego-centric blindness.
Videos like this make me smile and help to reafirm this belief I now hold.
One problem for me is this though.
What is up with killer whales killing humpback and bluewhale calves?
I don't get that.
