Here and Now...What's Happening?

[astrid]

Funny morning.
Got up early, to make choc goodbye puddings,
very sleepy.

Made 2, one to give them to take with them and have tonight , they are staying at her parents.
Used my new hens fresh eggs, all organic flour, butter, etc.. ( yum).

Just after i put then in the oven, Craig txted me to say they weren't coming for pudding,
running late, just dropping in and out to pick up his dog.

So , oh well... kind of annoyed but no big deal.
- a girl can never have enough chocoolate !

Then i smell something burning and go and check,
realised i had put oven on griller setting,
tops are all burnt, rest is not cooking, lol

laughed at myself.

Adjusted settings to see if i can retrieve them.

Txted them to say , its ok had a disaster anyways.

Then they messaged me to say they were coming for pudding after all, HAHAHA.

Served them up fresh strawberries and cream,
with recovered pudding, minus the burnt bits, lol.
Was fine, delicious even.

Now they have left to start their new life in another state.
I have one less dog to work around, and minus the rent of another person.

Feeling excited and looking forward to
the challenge of getting back into my work, rather having the luxury of
second income, which has actually made me a bit lazy.

I will miss them, but its also an exciting time for all.

Really feeling the Saturn influence kick into full force.
Time to get moving on projects, commitments, responsibilities.
It doesn't feel heavy, more the push that i have been needing for
quite a while now.

Bring it on.

[ThePythonicCow]

Paul's here! Welcome, kind sir. Is that 1% milk, or do you take it straight up 4%? ;)
Fresh, raw milk, from the cow and cooled. Cows don't produce 1% milk - that's one of those industrially processed "dairy products."

Sorry ... wrong thread for my milk rant ...

[PurpleLama]

More syncronicity. When I saw junebug offer Paul the milk on the last page I imagined a very similar rant coming from Paul. Not exact, but still. Would you mind throwing a link to your milk rant, I am sure I'm not the only one who might be interested.

*edit*

another synchronicity, yesterday, with me and playdo, and dreams. For those who might be interested. I intend to plug for this thread over there, too. :thumb:

ould you mind throwing a link to your milk rant, I am sure I'm not the only one who might be interested.
Ah ... that rant is still to be written PurpleLama, and I haven't figured out yet how to link into the future :).

Rant away, Paul. :) I think you would have an appreciative audience here.

Astrid, your dessert sounds dee-vine! Chocolate cake, strawberries and cream .... yummmmmm. Hope the adjustment proves easy for you... sounds like it's positive.

PL, you're still swimming, I see! So in the flow. A meet up with you and Playdo sounds great, except I'm such a stick-at-home. Let's pencil it in for now. :)

Up early today, can't sleep anymore ... went out and looked at the stars ... gorgeous as usual, and so peaceful. >sigh<

Junebug

[pickle]

10:10am If it was ten to ten it would be cowboy time... if you get that you're good!

Anyway, I digress. Milk. What happened to the cream at the top? The big blob at the top of a pint my sister and I used to fight over as kids. For the cornflakes. Did I really put a spoon full of sugar on top? Oooooh yeah!

Are you talking to them yet JB? Best listeners I ever found ;-)

[Marianne]

Hi Pickle,

I introduced myself to Jupiter last night... it really is bright! It was low on the horizon when I saw it, almost missed it becos of trees. I haven't talked to any of the others yet. :)

Now I have that Mary Poppins song running through my head ... :note:
just a spoonful of sugar .... :note:

[PurpleLama]

I am with junebug. Rant away. Educate us, please, Mr. Cow, on the wonders of raw milk.

[ViralSpiral]

Sitting in my favourite restaurant called Glockenspiel, overlooking the Marienplatz in Munich, drinking a latte. Suspect less than 1%......

Nip in the air. Am loving the autumn leaves. Reminds me of my visit to Vermont so e years back. I really enjoy feeling/sensing/seeing definitive seasons. In South Africa there were only two: green and brown ;)

Strawberries, now THAT'S a fine idea ....

[PurpleLama]

In and out of meditation as the cats are in and out of the lap. No worries, just relaxed this morning with the sounds of birds and the smell of the laxmi dhoop.

[ulli]

I was pondering two characters this morning:
Steve Jobs and Spock, as presented by Leonard Nimoy.
Like Jobs I had my own company at a young age, even though I also had dropped out of college.
When four colleges asked me to come and teach there (in England) I replied
that all I could teach their students would be to drop out and become autodidactic (self taught) in what they love to do,
instead of wasting all that time and money. In England much college education was paid for by the tax payer.
Each year 800 fashion designers were graduating, all with the ambition to design clothes for the royal princess (Diana, at that time)
when the reality was that half would end up working in hair salons.
Back to my musings about people I identified with.
I relate to both Jobs and Nimoy quite strongly, in terms of intensity and emotionlessness.
What I mean by emotionless is more in outer appearance- I do laugh on the inside, while remaining straight-faced.
These are not traits that people expect from a woman, and they react with either love or hate.
Maybe that's why I have such distrust of people, which I understand is ultimately a sign of distrust in the self.

The third male character I always identified with was Clint Eastwood,
especially the roles he created that were about the forgiveness dilemma.
Which also ties in with what I said about the other two.
Nuff said. Ulli, who has a male mind inside a female body (Mercury Mars conjunction in Aquarius).

[Marianne]

the smell of the laxmi dhoop.

Ooo, just remembered to go look for the ingredients. I did find them, but on second thought it's easier to just order it. :)

One of the websites said it puts out copious smoke ... no, that it sets off your smoke alarm! They describe it as more of a goo than an incense. Hmmm... your experience, PL?

Ulli, we love you and think you are just as you should be. You are Ulli.

Lisa, hope your spirits are lifted up today. Sending more sparklies your way.

[PurpleLama]

I just had a dragonfly fly a spiral around me, up and up and up.

Yes the dhoop is very sticky and puts out a copious amount of smoke. Which is entirely awesome, in my opinion. I am not allowed to burn it in the house when mother and baby are home, anymore. But the altar on the porch is more my working altar, so I tend to burn the most out there, anyway. Btw, satya dragons blood incense is also some of the best I've found. The Laxmi didn't set off my smoke alarm, but it might would if I didn't have the air running at the time. It does fog the place up nicely.

[Marianne]

Has anyone heard from Ernie or Flasky lately?

[ulli]

Well, I remember Ernie has a job, rewiring a building...and Flasky...
with her mum's health so precarious, I don't expect her to find the time to go online right now.
Sending energy to all concerned.
Meanwhile I'm getting ready to go on two trips. One tomorrow, to a resort called Punta Leona, for a couple of days.
We have a jungle house there which needs urgent attention.
Here is their website, no picture of our little house, though. Just the facilities.
http://hotelpuntaleona.com/about/media-gallery/picture-gallery.html

Then in around two weeks I'm off to Barbados to see the grandchildren. I put up some photos of the babies, on my profile page.

[pickle]

Ahhh, kids growing up eh?

The wee one (13 yr old 6ft person) went to bed a little while ago, we'd been talking about school and some of "the stuff that's a waste of time", like sex education, which he doesn't want to talk about. I said a condom should be used on every conceivable occasion... he didn't get it, and he's never heard of Spike Milligan....

...that's what's wrong with the damn school system, there's no history of humour.

Sheesh.

[Marianne]

Pickle, I had to look up Spike Mulligan and his 'every conceivable occasion' quote. I'm American, there's no help for me. You Brits have all the fun.

[Flasky]

Omg, the weird coincidence of finding enough strength to actually log on to Avalon to find you guys wondering about me?? Not to mention the messages from Black Panther and Caren! I did promise myself I wouldn't cry. Too late.

I didn't plan on sharing so much but out the words came and I do believe you all need and will somehow benefit from reading this. You might want to have a tissue at hand...This is my...erm, re-telling of my last moments with my mother.

~

Unfortunately my mom passed away on the 24 of September so, hence, I haven't been around here for a bit...

Its so good that she is not in pain anymore...but the shock of living through that moment (her sickness and eventual death) still needs to rub off from me.

I am determine to stay strong for my brother and especially my father who lost his soulmate.

At night...Sometimes...I'm haunted by the images of how it all happened. And my human brain cannot understand how something so peace giving must look so violent and ugly from the outside.

Guys, I want you to all know that every time you have expressed a kind word or energy towards my way - it really has helped. SO THANK YOU!

When I was looking at her body I had the weirdest sensation. My head felt very light but heavy at the same time - fuzzy, my brain almost hurt to one side. My cheeks were terribly hot but my heart was very calm. And even if I felt slightly faint, my feet felt well grounded. When I had to walk away...I felt a hand (yet there was no hand) on my shoulder guiding me, sort of holding me up in case I had been wobbly.

My vision was weird too. I could see the episode unfolding but it was as if I was removed from it. As if a camera was doing the looking and I was watching through a screen. And calm, I was calm. When I first saw mom's stillness...I smiled. I whispered "I am so happy for you mom. Thank you."

Her sister (who I had gone to pick up at the airport just 2 days prior) and I arrived in the hospital a couple of minuets after she passed. The night before, we had stayed together in the hospital next to mom.

The things that happened....and the things I was able to do as a consequence, I don't know if I would have been able to do a year ago. And here, again, thank you for all of your support. Even you didn't know or did not realize just WHAT AN IMPACT you hand on my building empowerment to face this.

I stayed with mom during the whole process. I held her hand, I kept talking to her even when she was no longer, well, 'medically' responsive, informing her of everything and anything. Even to the silliest of things. The first night...it killed me to leave her alone in the hospital. The second night, I pulled such a stink that every nurse, doctor and division in that freaking hospital knew who I was and if they dared cross me hell would have looked like a warmish breeze.

In the evening of the second day mom begun to fall in a coma. Again. We were all around whispering words of love, reassurance, and peace. Making it alright for her to go, encouraging her. During my last night with her my Aunty stayed as well.

I said to her in an attempt to make things light, "You know, mom and I have had many pajama parties in the last month..." I was holding mom's hand including her in the conversation. My 'pj party nights' referring to having slept at mom's feet in the living room because she could not sleep comfortably in bed - the pull-out chair was more comfy for her. And I was there to make sure she was ok and help with bathroom breaks...."But this one is special cause aunty is also here. Your little sister, mamma. Let's see who knocks off to sleep first - even if she's got jetlag!"

Mom was in a lot of distress during that night. I made sure she got a relaxant and morphine given to her to assure a peaceful process. It was so difficult to watch the whole thing guys....

But so many miracles happened.

At dawn, mom actually squeezed my hand twice - at different times - in response or participation to the things I was saying to her. Especially when I was saying to her that I loved her.

Then...4 hours before she died she opened her eyes - she wasn't quite there, but I lowered myself to her and she lifted her arms and she hugged me for one last time....Oh God. She was weak, drugged out of her mind probably, but her fragile arms tightened around me.

I said to her that I loved her so, so much. That is was ok, i wasn't going to leave her - that we would all be here always. That her parents (who are dead) were waiting to throw their own arms around her and shower her with kisses...

I had many conversations with her. Many words of love. Of revealing to her to a deeper level of my journey to an awakening...."And so like, if you might bump to a guy named 'Salusa' or something like an 'Ashtar Command' tell them to get a move on, yes?" I am not sure how serious I was with that statement. It came to a point I have no idea what sense I was making.

3 hours left, obviously at that stage we didn't know. I see mom's values going down. My dad was on the way with my brother and my aunty had just left for a couple of seconds. Mom was leaving then.

90.......85..........67......60......

Beep beep beep beep.........beep........................beep....................

"Mom, I know you want to go. I know you are so tired...and you can't wait to see your parents and everyone but please..If you can...If you really can, please wait for dad? He should be here any moment, any moment! You know how dad is with time, always late right? He'd want to be here. He'd really want that. Please mom, if you can - but only if you can..Just a little while longer. Ok?"

I am not sure what possessed me to say that. What snapped me out of it was the machine beeping again and I looked up at the screen.

beep........................beep....................beep beep beep beep........

47..............60..........85...........90.........

My jaw dropped. I was so shocked. I looked down at mom and her yellow coloring turned somewhat pink again and I burst out in tears. Suffocating myself because I didn't want her to hear me - or hear them as something bad.

"Mom, thank you...Thank you."

I had enough time to dry my eyes that dad stepped in from the curtains. I flew in his arms crying that "She waited for you! Do you always have to be so late!?!? She waited for you!!!" Half hysterical - but laughing within it mostly.

I knew it would happen soon but I felt better and it felt 'right' that now dad, her soulmate, was there with her. I felt ok to leave - plus aunty pleading for a shower and I couldn't help but agree...

So...Speeding (carefully) down the road about to turn into the hospital's carpark, getting the many calls from my brother to "hurry up!" and "Its happening!!!! HURRY!!" mom passed away just a couple of minuets after 12 midday.

And at 12:10 sit in front of my mom.

She was so beautiful guys. So in peace. She was smiling. Smiling! It was such a cheat, if you looked too long I swear to you, it looked as if she was still breathing and just snoozing peacefully.

Yes. That is what she looked like. At peace. Peace. With that little smile on her still beautiful face.

That day was very weird. When we returned home I apparently went in some sort of trance with my eyes open for an hour. My brother told me cause I have no memory of this. He tried to talk to me, rouse me, touch me but I was 'some place else', apparently.

Then we had my cousin come over...and it took me an hour how to figure out how to make a cup of the for 5 people. It was WEIRD. Shock is a nasty thing.

...So, in closing....Thank you for all the loving, caring thoughts sent my way and the sharing of positive and healing energies. They have helped tremendously especially when it came to organizing the funeral and so on and so forth....

Since my mom's passing I've had two dreams of her. One was a nightmare...but one was of us sitting in our living room floor, where I slept at her feet, just talking. We had an awesome conversations for hours and hours but all I can remember from it is asking if in the hospital she heard me when I was talking to her. If she had known I was there, if she understood. She told me yes. We both burst out in tears and her hug felt so, so so, soooooooooooo real.

It was the best dream ever.

Thank you everyone, from the bottom of my heart. Looking back, I know I did not face this alone - I had my guides and everyone's well wishes to help me pull through. Continue this awesomeness and support every day of your life and continue offering it to every stranger you might meet because you have no idea how a single nice gesture could make such a difference.

Thank you, thank you for helping me grow in this journey. And this also to the whole AVALON PEOPLE. Thank you for helping me open my eyes and heart to so much.

[PurpleLama]

As I was logging in I was thinking of you, as I had seen what junebug had inquired after you. I was thinking of the ring your mom saw.

I want you to know, I am glad you feel the love we have, and we're one even though I've never seen your face. I've a candle and such going now for you and yours. Many blessings to you and your family.

To ulli, this thread has indeed taken a life of it's own, it has, it's living and it's shared between us. This sharing is in another league, on another level, compared to social networking as it's currently understood. This is the new paridigm, see? It started here with you as the OP. IMHO.

Again, love to you, flasky.

[Caren]

Dear Flasky,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. I am sorry for your father and brother and your aunty as well.
Please let me say - respectfully - what an incredibly courageous young lady you are and so, so loving!
There will be moments in the days ahead - know that we are right here if you need us..
As I think of your dear mum - I am positive she has a lovely smile on her face..
Much Love :hug: :grouphug:

[ulli]

Flasky
I lived through your experience,
and having lost both my parents all my own memories of that extraordinary time came back.
Dad left in 1980, and mum in 2006.
I couldn't be there, but we skyped right until the last day.
She kept her promise to send me signs of her survival,
and she has kept it...the signs are still coming now.
I feel her presence, even though we don't "skype" any more.

I have to get up at 4 am, so off to bed early tonight.
Wishing you to be a beacon for all the other members of your family
and for yourself have a huge hug right here and now.

[astrid]

Wow, new a new baby, and now a lifes end, what a thread this is turning out to be.

Flasky and Rahkyt , i feel very honored that you have shared those precious moments with us here.

Flasky, i'm so sorry for your loss, but im so glad you got to be part of a
process that is often dealt with quite poorly in western cultures.

I can feel your love and your mother's love for you in your words.

She was very blessed to have you by her side throughout.

Your courage in facing life head on is an inspiration.

I'm yet to go through losing my parents,
My only hope is that i deal with it with as much grace and courage as you.

hugs, Astrid.

[Sierra]

Flasky,

I'm so glad your mom is not in pain anymore, Flasky. I'm so glad you got to take care of her and have time with her. I cried and cried reading your post, and then burst out laughing that your dream/OBE reunion with your mom was a couch potato conversation all night long! Oh how lovely!

I hope you and your family fare well during this time of transition dear heart. :grouphug:

Sierra

[Sierra]

Night night Jaedyn Thomas, sleep well little bug, and let your Momma rest. :sleep:

[ViralSpiral]

Flasky, thank you so much for showing up and sharing. May your memories help you to become stronger.

I was pondering what Astrid said: Birth/death/continuum/circle of life...... and the possibility of losing a parent. We had a close call with my gorgeous popsicle 3 years back. He was in an induced coma for a month from collapsed lungs and kidney failure. A frail man, he lost 18 kgs. Twas a rough time. He wasn't ready though and today, at 80, he walks 5 kms a day during winter and swims 70 lengths of their pool in summer.

Ulli, your jungle "shack" looks incredible!!! I know you say there are no pictures of your house. I do have a vivid imagination though ;)
Enjoy your sojourn there. Looking forward to gory tales of exhilarating adventures!
Oh okay, maybe just a pic of you painting or plumbing too...

Dearest Flasky,

You have been in my heart lately, and I'm so sorry to hear you lost your Mum. Your experience has been amazing; thank you for sharing it with us. My heart is so full, but can't find the words to express it! Please PM me if you want to talk, or if I can help you in any way.

All love to you and your family,

Hi Flasky,

I don't know what else to say other than word for word what Astrid has (above). Your Mum has passed a beautiful legacy over to you.


Love, light and peace to you and your family,

John

[markoid]

I feel sorry to hear of the loss of your mum flasky... all strength to you and your family to hang in there through the grief. You are very wise and open for someone your age and your description of your experience was mind blowing. Dying with a smile on her face is such a gift and testament to her life and her love.... amazing. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[Mark]

Many blessings to you and your family during this time, Flasky. The death moment is both beautiful and painful, I think there is little difference between them in the experience of the heart opening up, swelling to overflowing, the cascade of love and that deep, sublime joy that arrives with the witnessing of the exit from life. I cannot help coming from this perspective at the moment having just witnessed my son coming into the world. The feeling is similar, I believe it is the recognition of the presence of the Divine and the wondrous nature of life itself. So tenuous and ephemeral and yet so solid, so real. The juxtaposition of these seemingly contradictory realities IS the Divine ... IS the dichtomous experience that we've all come here to have, that takes us deeper into ourselves through these life contracts we share with each other, the lessons we teach each other, the lives we lead together ...

I feel a deep gratitude for your sharing and my heart opened to your words, images, shared resonant frequency with your experience. I don't know you but I do ... in abiding, divine love and sublime peace, I wish you and yours well ...

another long, busy day, it is time to relax, the boy is sleeping in his grandmother's arms, his mother is taking some much needed private time. This moment feels immense, I can hear the clock ticking, the sound of the silence is soothing, i feel enveloped in a cocoon of love, life, is good ...

cool, PL
good advice.

WHAT a gorgeous day it is outdoors!! Back from a walk down the road, the air feels mellow and autumn-ish even tho trees are still mostly green. 'season of mists and mellow fruitfulness' (stole that from Keats). Saw a yellow butterfly just at the edge of the property ... only see them on the happiest days ... like the Universe is saying, notice all the outrageously wonderful love that's all around, for everyone.

Has everyone gone to look at Ulli's Beadwork album on her profile? She makes beautiful gembead jewelry. I especially love the freshwater pearl strands, one is a lariat that can be worn many different ways.

I'm makng a crocheted baby blanket for a friend who is due mid month... better get busy. She's one of those kind souls who has made a baby blanket for every single one of our expectant residents. Someone needs to make her one, and it's ME.

All love to you beautiful villagers...

Many blessings to everyone participating in and observing our lovely little "village" here, and now. Here is another peek into the personal experience of PurpleLama, shot in the last hour. God bless the Fae, And God bless everyone of me (which is each of you!)

addendum to video, I said "built" when I meant "bought" in reference to the house,

and at the end I tried to say "visionaries" instead of "villagers" there at the end for some reason

[Marianne]

PL, your altar is the coolest ... or maybe that's the hottest ... anyway, love it. What kind of wood do you burn? Did you mortar the bricks together, or are they the kind that lock together?
Thanks for posting. :)

[ketturah]

It has been unseasonably warm here in the midwest US, today 84 degrees F. Very pleasant. I have been here in my room listening to gun shots for about 3 hours. I thought it was kind of funny that where I live, on a Saturday afternoon, neighbors practice shooting until sunset.

[Marianne]

Since Ulli is away, I'm hoping she won't notice I'ved posted two song vids lately.

Here's Willie singing about ole buttermilk sky ... I've never been exactly sure what a buttermilk sky looks like (and I'm forever looking up at it, being an airy person)... but I assume it's those clouds that look like an empty glass of buttermilk ... the way it separates into narrow sections. Probably nobody but a U.S. southerner has ANY idea what I'm talking about. Does anybody here drink buttermilk? I bet Paul does!

Paul, we had a cow when I was little, and I used to get up early in the dewey dawn and help my mom milk her, then later churn the butter. I suppose it's mostly done mechanically now.
I'm a sucker for those soft brown eyes cows have.

G'day All,

I hope that everyone in what has become the village is doing fine.

I has been three weeks since I last posted here, that being from the DI seminar in Perth. The interim period has been my loss, and I have just spent the entire day reading twenty nine pages as penance for my being absent without leave. I can't even tell you why I did not come back here, but what a marvellous community this thread has morphed into, and I have Marianne to thank for suggesting that I get back here. I have missed out on numerous moments of good humour, plenty of cat videos, birth, death, and the opportunity to have a part to play in them all.

If there are no objections, I'll make The Village my home, as the vibes don't get any better than what I have found here.

Much Love to you all,

Tony. :)

[Lisab]

Welcome to the village Tony so glad your here too. The numerology reading you did for me was so great I really need to bump that thread but I cant remember who started it. It wasnt you was it. Glad you got my pm tho.

Junebug thanks for sending sparklies on my little 'uns birthday. He had a great time and so did I! His favourite prezzie is a full darth vadar outfit,complete with breathing apparatus just like the kid in the v.w. commercial, dont know if you've seen it,its posted round av somewhere. Anyway Lord Sid would be proud!

Hope Ulli's trip is going well. lisa x

[astrid]

Getting back into some 3D work, a few things i have been asked to do ages ago,
finally getting the push to get on with them

First is an Austrian chandelier i have to restore for my Doctor, it's all in pieces.

His wife was given it as a gift from a older lady that she looked after.

I have no pictures to work off, just a frame and a massive box of lead crystals.

I have worked on similar fittings before, but i don't even know if its complete yet,
so its going to be a fun week working out the puzzle.

Feels good to be back working in lighting again,
i have a few ideas for some designs i want to work on after this one.
I have a shop that stocks my work, so i don't have to worry about the selling side of things, just the making.

I washed all the crystals today, they are all spread out on my kitchen table on towels, gleaming with rainbows, proper lead crystal is a dream to work with.

Tomorrow i will clean the frame and wire it up.
It has a few issues, like i have to convert the fittings to Aussie standards,
and make sure its all earthed.
But it feels good to be back into some creative work again.

My Father called earlier and said that Mum is in hospital,
not sure the details yet, she has a long list of health issues,
so it could be anything. I have been fairly estranged from them both,
especially the last 5 or 6 years, but just recently i have been spending more
time with them. It's basic but its civil and i no longer get triggered anymore
by their issues. Families can be such complex things .

[Mark]

A beautiful canadian morning. Tommorrow is actually 'Thanksgiving' but today is when most people celebrate it apparently. Going over to visit my partner's family for their celebration. Not sure how I feel about most holidays, but this one in particular. I know how I feel about it in the states, not exactly sure if they are marking a similar thing here but I'd suppose so. I know they eat turkey too. Family gathers. There is football, I think. Oh well. A beautiful canadian morning.

[Lisab]

I agree Astrid families being very complex. I have Saturn in the fourth so all my drama is with my family. Like yourself its getting better now tho. We're obviously changing! Your work sounds lovely. By the way how's Mouse!?
Love that Fawlty Towers clip. Enjoy your day.

[Marianne]

Lisa, I do know that commercial -- imagining your little guy's delight. Glad it was a great occasion.

I heard from Ulli on Friday -- her trip was going well.

Tony, welcome! You paid due penance for leaving us, so here's some cake. PL is around here somewhere with his divinely-spiked pot of coffee.

PL and I are working on Fred to come visit too. And see if you can get DH too, would you? Who else needs to be here?

I am doing my penance today watching the toddlers at church during the service. I'd rather that than being in the sanctuary ... I will take my crochet project and my new iPhone and see if maybe I can figure out how to get onto PA.

Wishing all your lovely folks a fabulous Sunday. :hug: and xxx

Speaking of absent friends, I'm missing Pickle -- hope he will be here this afternoon. :wave:

[PurpleLama]

Here is a toast to absent friends!

[Caren]

Welcome back Tony - so very nice to have you here with us :welcome:
I have always liked Willie Junebug but have never heard 'Buttermilk Sky' before. Thanks for posting "What A Wonderful Life"
Thanks for sharing your Fire Altar with us PurpleLama - very interesting. I enjoyed seeing James crawling around in the vid.. Welcome to the village little James :)
Thinking of your mom Astrid - hope she gets well and out of hospital real soon.
It's very warm here again today in eastern Canada - a lovely Thanksgiving weekend.

Healing Energies Required Please

G'day Everyone,

I just received a PM from Ruby L.

Her Aunt, who is in Croatia, has been taken in for emergency surgery after dealing with a malignant tumour in her large intestine. Ruby's Mother has flown in from the Dominican Republic to be with her, and Ruby will join them in Croatia tomorrow.

The Village appears to be more than up to the task of assisting, so may I ask all who read this to send whatever healing energies you are capable of mustering to Ruby's Aunt. You do not need to know her name; let the Universe sort that one out. Please also send strength to Ruby and her family while they deal with this unexpected turn of events.

In anticipation of your assistance, and on Ruby's behalf, thank you all very much.

Tony.

[Marianne]

Tony, so sorry to hear about Ruby's aunt. Please tell Ruby I'm sending her and her family healing love. I expect others will join shortly, til there will be a veritable chorus of energy streams winging their way to Croatia.

Junebug

[Lisab]

Sending strength and healing to Ruby and her aunt.

[Unified Serenity]

I started working on a nice staff last night. I noticed it on a walk through our woods. It has a spiral in it, and as I have let it dry out for a couple of months, it was ready last night to have the skin removed. It felt good to work with wood again. I will take my time with this project as it feels more like a spiritual exercise than a wood project. Ooh, and two nights ago a meteor came down in front of my house. I have never before seen a shooting star come down. This one did not look big, there was no sound, and I looked for it, but did not see any fire.

Right now, I am looking out my front door and the weather is a bit gloomy and still.

[the trojan]

Im just surfing away,listening to a recent radio 4 broadcast of ,Educating Rita.
It stars Bill Nighy and Laura Dos Santos
And it is so different from the film,really well done.
I dont know what came first though.
I think it began as a radio play,dont know.
feelin' good

[Ruby L.]

Thank you so much Heyoka, Junebug and Lisab. :hug:
I truly appreciate your good thoughts for my beautiful auntie; every bit does not go amiss and is greatly appreciated.

It's comforting to have PA up in the background while preparing for tomorrow's trip; you have become my energetic community... it's very helpful just knowing you're there. (Or, Here and Now)

I just wanted you to know I saw your posts and thank you for your good thoughts.
I'm visualising my Aunt all healed and glowing. She looks so radiant!

With love and gratitude,

Ruby

[Mark]

For you and yours, Ruby, may the highest potentiality in this experience manifest, may what is and shall be meet with the understanding and gratitude of all involved.

[ViralSpiral]

Hello and thank you Tony.

I too send healing and strength to Ruby, her aunt and whioe family. These are tough times. Nothing replaces family!!

[Marianne]

Ha! I got on with my iPhone - 2 adorable tow heads with me in the toddler rm. 5 min to go.

------
Home again. Lisa, I think Buttermilk Sky is an old cowboy song -- I've heard it my whole life. Always liked it, especially with Willie singing.

[markoid]

Ruby L:Sending lots of love and healing intention to your auntie, happy travels to you for your trip.

Unified serenity: I have been working on a staff also and will post some pics if I can figure out how to use the camera in my el cheapo phone :)

I am spending a bit less time at avalon. I don't need to read yet again how much bad stuff the psychopaths of the world are perpetrating. and the endless possibilities about aliens, the function of the pyramids, the release of functioning free energy and so on though they are all good 'chewing gum' for the mind... what actual good is there in adding more inconclusive info to my labyrinthine brain... just seems like distraction to me at the moment.
This thread feels like an oasis to me :)

[astrid]

No news on Mum yet,
weird dreams though.

In the last one someone was knocking.
I thought it was for real, but my dogs that were on my bed would have gone nuts.
3 times someone knocked.

Maybe telling me to get the hell out of bed, lol

[markoid]

I hope it's all good with your mum Astrid, I know that 'estranged from family' feeling.... I just got used to it over the years, I was always the 'black sheep' :)

[astrid]

No news yet on Mum have been trying to ring Dad,
will call the hospital in a while.
Sent her lots of healing overnight.

Yes families can be tricky things, here is a bit about mine, sorry for the long post,
but just felt the need to lay all out, something about this thread i think, lol.

There was a lot of abuse so i had to remove myself pretty early on for my own safety and sanity.
From the spiritual perspective it all makes sense,
as i had to do so many thing alone in order to get stronger for the work i do here now.
Forgiveness is a great thing lets say that.
And even though i was physically estranged i was doing so much work from a distance to heal family patterns
that had been there for generations.

Since reconnecting i have only seen them a handful of times, but at least there is no more bad blood from either sides now.

They are both very much stuck in the old paradigm, Dad is a church leader, also very controlling and dominates mum,
made it nearly impossible for her and i to have a relationship. He has serious anger management issues, especially with women.

Even in his aging years he still throws throws 2 year old tantrums.
He did it one day here recently when mum wanted to go for a walk with me in the gardens here.
At least he didn't try and hit me, he just stormed off and sat in the car.
It was actually interesting to witness after all this time apart and all the work i have done on myself.

I used to be terrified of him.
Mum hadn't seen me for 2 or 3 years, and she really wanted to spend some time with me,
and i could see she was really conflicted, when he said i have to go.

I was so proud of her that she stood her ground and we went to the gardens,
it was only for 20 mins or so, but i think it was a big win for her.

A Medium friend told me a while back that Dad would most likely die first,
which i was surprised at, because she has always been so sick.
She said that Mum would have some freedom in her final years.
Dad does have a heart condition, hardly surprising given his rage attacks.
They would happen at the slightest thing, we were always walking on egg shells.

In my final year at school it got worse.
As part of his Chaplaincy training he went to the US as spent a week in the gettos with someone he called the "night minister".
I have no idea what happened, but when he came back his venom towards me increased.

Whenever i walked into a room and he was there he would walk out, or tell me to stay out of his sight.
I managed to get through my final year, but my grades were not great.

I see them now both , and its taken a lot of work,
I stand my ground with them now too,
something i could never do. They both had such a strong hold over my psyche.

One day 4 or so years ago, they turned up at my house even though i had told them it was not a good time.
They had a habit of doing this, controlling my life anyways possible.
It was the hardest thing i ever did, but i finally told it too them straight.
Calmly, respectfully, and with love, that this was NOT OK.
That i was not impressed, that i do have the right to say when and where i see them
I was ready for Dad to loose it. he said that "we are not putting up with this abuse"
and they both left. I said, we can talk about this, but it has to be clear that you cant just turn up
if its not ok with me. They left but sat out in the car for a good 30 mins.

It was hard, REALLY hard, but for once i had to make a stand and cut the control noose they still had on me.
The following week was a hard week, i was very conflicted, and felt like a real bitch.
After many talks with friends, i realised that i had the right to do
what i did and they didn't have the right to do what they did.
i mean seriously, on the phone the night before i told Mum in 10 different ways, that it was NOT A GOOD TIME.
The last thing she said was "i am your mother" ... man... her big thing was control over guilt.

After that event, my life shifted so much, so many things came crashing down, as being related to that one thing.
The fact that i didn't believe i could say no to them, It had had a HUGE ripple effect throughout my life.
SO many things i didn't want to do, relationships i should never have got into in the first place,
It was a huge life step for me to finally make a stand with them.

Dad sent me an email, saying that we could have all handled that better,
i replied, respectfully, that i stand by my actions, and that assertiveness is not abuse.
He has never once said sorry to me, nor have either of them told me of my brother that they loved us.

So yeah, i picked a tough family to incarnate into this time around.

I think also, it was the past life regressionists, specifically Michael Newton's,
work that shifted all my resentments, and hatred towards them.
When you realize that you did in fact chose this family, it changes EVERYTHING,
well it did for me.
No longer did i see myself as a victim,
and i then went on the search for the lessons, there where so many, lol.

Although i'm very detached in ways, i know their passing is not going to be easy.
I had a taste of this when mum had a heart operation back in the early 90's, she died on the operating table,
and they brought her back. I was floored by the range of emotions i experienced, it really surprised me,
i thought i was so distant from them.

I wonder now i have processed so much how i will handle it.
I guess also, the death process i understand a lot more as being a part of the cycle of life,
and nothing to fear. If anything i look forward to my own death now.

I wont be able to get near mum because of Dad's controlling ways,
but i will do what i can remotely.

Calling hospital for updates.

[ulli]

I just read the last three pages of the Village thread, and don't know where to begin. Deep impressions from all of you, and the sharing of Reality that is going on here. PurpleLama's fire altar...I want to build one. So happy for Rahkyt's beautiful addition- what an adorable child!
Wishing Ruby's aunt a successful operation...and do check the healing powers of tumeric, online...it seems that because of the curry diet, and tumeric being the main ingredient in curry, the people of India suffer less colon cancer than the rest of the world.
And I'm glad to see old faces, Markoid, also Tony and Tarka. All these energies combined are working miracles, I can feel it while reading.

While I was away, I suffered from Internet withdrawal. Last night there was a rain storm, and our roof leaked, right above my bed. A tree branch had broken some of the sheeting and water was pouring in. Husband spent the morning on the roof. Meanwhile I managed to bum my neighbor's Internet...he gave us his wi-fi password. And just as I was posting a reply to Junebug's video about Willie Nelson's song they left and turned off their modem. So I just managed to copy my reply to Junebug on Notepad...and here it is:

Our neighbors arrived and gave me the password to their wi-fi, so I'm getting a weak signal. Pages are loading very slowly.
But I feel I have to comment on the above. I can now tell you what a buttermilk sky looks like. On Friday afternoon when we went for a swim we saw the sky with the most incredible variety of cloud patterns, like never before. The sunlight was filtering through and lighting up streaks of narrow clouds. Then my husband came swimming over tyo me and said "did you notice that white thin cloud, i've never seen anything like it. and I said, I KNEW I should have brought the camera...that looks like milk in a glass...totally milky. In between pinks and oranges and greys and purples, was this streak of milky cloud. Buttermilk Sky...it was phenomenal.
And then you posted that song."


Later I realized when reading more of your posts that some of the same things you mentioned also had came up during our trip: about cheese making: we watched a documentary about that. We watched a movie with Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant...she was visiting a farmer cousin in some Rodeo town, and had to learn how to milk a cow. Then I saw those posts of yours, Junebug.
To me this is a sign that our village is a very closeknit community.
Love to everyone who reads this.

[ulli]

I forgot to mention: we had people staying at our house while we were gone. Last time I called all was well; they left at lunchtime.
We got back during the afternoon and discovered the kitten had gone. So far no sign of Kitten.

[Flasky]

HELLO BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE!

Sun is shining (finally) here in Sydney and Flasky's smiling-typingtypinginginginging...!

I know I have said a thing or two about thanking you all but I felt I needed to address you personally because just writing thank you sometimes its not enough. Even saying it. You just need a big old hug but well, computers don't allow for that yet. So please, once again be patient with me and read down to see your name and my response to your loving messages.

I am so thankful...

@ PurpleLama : Thank you for thinking of my family and I. We have also lit tea light candles (mom’s favs) – especially outside we wrote her name with them and we have lit them every night since. And were mom is resting our kind friends have gifted her with a little candle torch – were we go every evening to light up a new candle inside.

Yes! Candles are amazing.

You are also still thinking of that blue ring my mother saw on my finger? Strange, same here – sort of hoping I will understand it someday soon too.

@Caren: You are so lovely, I don’t think I deserve all of those compliments.

Truth to be told, I had a really hard and difficult – somewhat nasty – relationship with my mom. We were never friends, we always fought, and the periods of ‘peace’ between us were measured by a constant ticking bomb. However, we were always as bad as each other – even if to some people I would take the cake because I am the ‘daughter’ and should ALWAYS respect no matter what.

But the REAL truth is…We are so much alike. Our energies, personalities, ways of doing things yet it was the purpose or outcome of those similarities that divided us. Weird, isn’t it?

I will admit that her sickness did bring us closer together. It burnt a lot of old bridges and created somewhat newish – better looking – ones. I guess, in my own way I stepped up and assumed my responsibilities and in her own way she did too.

In my speech at the funeral I said: …for those who know us or have known of us, my mom and I never had a simple relationship. It was of a constant testing of one another and perhaps – perhaps all of those moments were building the both of us to face the hardest test yet. Together.

But under all of that there was always so, so much love. Even if my younger self would have never dared admit to it.

I should have added as a joke, and this I thought only after when I was having a confidential with one of my cousin (who is like a sister to me) that mom would probably come to me and hunt my a** for all of those nasty times and I’ll probably have to go and hunt her back, somehow, and give the same hell back because *snaps fingers* ‘uh-uh, mother.’ :P But that was just me cracking a joke with an almost empty glass of Shiraz in my hand…

Thank you for offering all of your support. I will have my cracking down moments and I’ve had a few that have actually helped me build me up a bit stronger…So bring em on!

@Ulli: I hope you feel empowerment and liberation through those memories because you have overcome so much. And you know that lounging in sadness is not really a good use of your time. Well, I can’t wait to reach that stage but I am doing ok…Breathing through the ‘signs’ myself. Always such a gift when I can intercept them!

Thank you Ulli for your support!

@Astrid: …Thank you. I never thought I could be an inspiration to anyone and sort of baffled by that – but thank you for telling me that. Am I doing the right thing? Am I freaking people out? Am I showing to be too sad or too strong? Do I know what I am freaking doing? No. Have no idea to be honest…But I know I can’t deal with the past (as in change it) or what’s finished and I need to go on with it. If that makes sense.

I’m keeping focused on my future. On what I want to achieve for myself….Making plans…Keeping busy…That helps a lot too. Trying to keep organized – even if failing terribly at it and I am pretty sure I am giving my mother a comedy show as I try to fold laundry….

Don’t you worry ifs and whens and hows – what with your parents and such. Just live and enjoy. Deal later…when you actually need too. ;) Party hard.

Lill Edit: I just read your last few posts….Wow. Somewhat similar with my own weird relationship with my mother. Even if her sickness changed us for the better. Look, nothing is sure yet – but I hope you may find a balance and empowerment here whenever you may need it. Even when you think you don’t – cause we are complicated like that. I hope in whatever I have said maybe a bit of help or offer a bit of a reflective for you.

Stay strong – er. :)

@Sierra: Thank you so much! You made me laugh, aw I am glad my dream then made you laugh after. Yes, it was awesome – what an awesome way and occasion to be a couch potatoes.

Thank you for your kind words. :)

@ViralSpiral : Thank you, I really treasure what you have said to me. May the memories make me stronger indeed!

@Junebug: Marianne thank you for all of your love and support! We are doing fine atm but expecting the crazies to hit us as at some point in time – to me I’ve already had my share but oh, have they been so liberating!

Thank you for caring and offering to be there for me I am really so touched!

@Pickle: No need to worry about being speechless, you said so much already and it was all so beautiful. Thank you for opening up to me.

Love and light and peace to you and your family too, John.

@Markoid: Your words actually brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for everything you have said. And I am really glad I was able to share it with you and everyone else and be able to connect that way. Incredible and wonderful!

@Rahkyt: CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR WIFE FOR YOUR BABY!!!!! That is the best news ever! And I saw the pics!! AWWWWWWWW!! Right now you’ve got a coeing (idiot) 21 year old Flasky all over those pictures – what’s the deal with me acting as if I was older and wiser? PUAH! ;)

On a more serious note, I have read what you wrote over and over. What you have wrote describes my own inner feelings so well I didn’t even know what I was really feeling till I read your message. It just made so much SENSE. Wow…How beautiful. It is so incredibly beautiful. I am so very touched and amazed and overwhelmed. I never want to forget your words – in fact, I will be printing them out. I don’t know if it’s weird, but they were very healing to me. Thank you for opening up to me so much. I don’t know you (or anyone else here) either but thank you for sharing that with me.

I wish you and your family all the best too – Daddy! ;)

@transiten: … Know that I am holding you close, tightly. I know exactly what you mean…I also had a dog once too.

Hopefully it was an overdue release of energies you were holding on to that you finally felt strong (or fragile) enough to let it out. In a way, I am glad I could trigger that for you as it can be very healing…but please, even for my sake, don’t remain alone dwelling in it. Keep yourself busy – and remember them in the reasons why you smile and laugh everyday and spread that vibrancy around the people that surround you.

You are ok, you know that right? *offers a hot chocolate* Don’t feel bad for letting it out, it’s always better afterwards. Feel free to jot me a line for whatever!

Thank you for sharing with me too.

@Tarka the Duck: You are welcome, Kathie :)

@ Heyoka_11: I just wanted to say WELCOME BACK and that I really resonated with your message with all my heart! Thank you for expressing your thoughts!

~*~

I LOVE YOU ALL!

[ulli]

Wow, this thread works!
within eight minutes of mentioning my Kitty problem she returned.
And I had been waiting over six hours already.
Whatever you did, thank you.

[PurpleLama]

Thanks flasky, and ulli, and astrid, and junebug (i actually know what a junebug is) and everyone else, for making this thread, and this forum, and these internets, and this planet, and so on and so forth, such a marvelous place to be.

A clue for the ring, flasky, it's mystery, not *a* mystery, but *mystery*. It a circle, that which completes itself. It's color is that of the higher self, and as the form of the ring, will, magicians, real magicians use an object to symbolize the "putting on the higher self", which is something worn to symbolize that one is in fact the stand in, here and now, of the highest power. The most common object used for this is a ring, and the wearing of the ring is becoming the higher self for the time it is worn. In truth we are beings of immense glory, here for a time, there for a time, and outside of time. Once something is gained it is never lost, in spite of all appearances to the contrary. The good, and the bad, it's what makes us ourselves, we can only grow.

[ulli]

Flasky: the mother daughter relationship is the hardest of all, I believe. Following my mother's passing I had such mixed feelings, of guilt, remorse, anger, gratitude...I just couldn't find the 'right" attitude. This went on for quite a few years, so be prepared.
There is no death...those memories will bring her back... and also there will be moments of a real presence, as I'm sure she understand you better now, things that had not been expressed before, now she can watch you and really see what had gone wrong.
I also became much closer with my mother during her illness and at the end she acccepted my spiritual guidance.
I went to a shaman once who told me that in a previous life my mother and I had been rivals for the same man: my father. I had stepped back this time, to allow her to have him. Yet she was jealous of her husband's love for their daughter. When this man told me this it pierced my heart, as I suddenly understood everything.
Mum was a Leo, and used to treat me as if I was her lady in waiting, she was a real Queen. No matter what I did for her, it was not enough. I lived overseas and she came for long visits. She adored my husband and they used to gang up against me. So dearest Flasky, you have my deep sympathy, not only for the loss, but the inner work that is now ahead of you, as you have to reconcile your new role with your memories.

[Flasky]

There are some similarities there Ulli.

Mom is a taurus and I being Libra with capricorn ascendant was always easy to smash our horns in. However - a lot of healing has been done between us during the time of her sickness. We spoke a lot, understood a lot, and moved on from old fashioned thoughts.

I am sure a few things more will pop up with time...My 21 years with her have not been just as severe or long as the ones you've had with your mother and in a lot of ways, a lot different.

I hope you have found enough peace.

Purplelama: Great food for thought...Really got me thinking that. Wow..

[astrid]

Okies, turns out mums mutiple medications where causing issues.
She has Lupus so is on Warfrin. She was bleeding internally.
They are giving her vitamin K to help her blood clot.
I spoke to her, she sounded ok.

Yes the mother, daughter thing can be tricky, and we never bonded as it was.
She has autism and never picked us up or held us.
I have seen her with other babies since, it was a shock,
she wouldn't pick up or hold my nephew as a baby.

The roles all got twisted around, i ended up trying to take responsibility for the lot of them,
in the end i had to leave and look after myself, it was such a endless battle.
Since i learnt that the path of least resistance is the best one,
and its all pretty peaceful thankfully now.

But i can see that either of their deaths is going to sure bring up a lot of
past issues again, which just means that they are being brought
to the fore to be dealt with and processed.

[Marianne]

Dearest Flasky, I'm so happy you are here! We were wondering how you are doing ... and here you are! I hope you find peace and understanding in the days ahead. My mom and I were not close when I was younger, but have come to terms on many things in the past few years. She has changed and I have changed. I imagine her younger self and all she struggled with, and that enables me to work more from a place of peace and forgiveness now, than I ever thought I could when I was younger.

All the relationships that have grown and helped heal us ... they brought us to where we are now, with all the good and bad... and it'll never be perfect but it'll fill our lives and our hearts and make living the rich, complex experience it is.

Astrid, you've had an amazing journey. Seeing youself as a non victim is liberating, and your growth is inspiring for those of us who've had to deal with people who would control us. Thank you for opening your heart like that.

Mark, black wool is beautiful! Besides, you have a family right here at the village. Did you have your cake yet? :)

Ulli, your kitty returned! Hahahaha, too funny. And the buttermilk sky. I am coming to believe the village is located in Serendipity Bay, on the Synchronicity Sea.

PL, you are wise. (no, I didn't say you're a wise guy!) I was surprised to see how young in years you are.

Continued prayers for one and all, from my heart that is filled and overflowing with love for all of you.

Junebug

[astrid]

Cool Kitty returned,
I went and did a mini journey to call her back home,
i could see her heading back from an adventure.

Cats are such creatures of habit, a break in their routines can throw them off.
Also she is connected strongly to you Ulli.
I had a brief word with her and told her that you are coming back and she need not fret.
Cool that it worked.

The post earlier, i freaked myself out a bit actually,
i'm usually not that open,
oh well, all good i guess, might encourage more to do the same.
I was actually going to delete it.

[Heyoka_11]

Heyoka_11: I just wanted to say WELCOME BACK and that I really resonated with your message with all my heart! Thank you for expressing your thoughts!

My Dear Flasky,

Thank you so much for your kind welcome back.

My absence during your Mother's illness and recent transition is my greatest regret, and although you may need think that I need to, please accept my apology. It would have been an honour to offer you support during this period.

You may have read that as part of my "penance", I read all twenty nine pages of this thread yesterday; call it a ritual purification of sorts, in preparation for once again joining this clan. ;)

What you posted here during the last few days of your Mother's current incarnation stopped me dead in my tracks. I glanced at your age; twenty one; that must be wrong I thought to myself. The manner in which you expressed your emotions and feelings belie your years, and your willingness to share them here speaks of an open, trusting heart.

Finally I came to your post where you detailed her last few moments, and what transpired in the short time thereafter. It was just as well that I was at my desk at work, where a box of tissues sits within easy reach. It was also just as well that it was a Saturday, and I was the only one around! Flasky, you moved me to tears, and just two words rang in my head: Courageous and Inspirational. I subsequently read Astrid's post, and she beat me to those words. That's my fault for not being around. Nonetheless, I can assure you that they are wholehearedly applicable. You are an inspiration to all who read your words.

You wrote of the at times, awkward relationship between the two of you. These times will not be the enduring memory that you will live with for the rest of your days here. You were given the opportunity to be there for your Mother just when you both needed each other more than ever before. You possessed both the wisdom and strength to "step up to the plate", and, in time, you will feel both a sense of personal satisfaction and pride in this accomplishment. Many people, regardless of age, would have been incapable of what came naturally to you. This will be the memory that you will carry, and, as a consequence, when you think of your Mother, you will be able to acknowledge the sense of loss, but also smile in knowing that you could have not parted in a more compassionate and loving manner.

Oh struth..........where are the tissues?

Having lost my own Mother a little over four years ago, this has been my experience. My wish for you is that it is your experience too.

Much Love,

Tony. :)

[aranuk]

Sitting at my computer desk wide awake. I couldn't sleep. I went to bed at 3.45am and lay awake until now. Sitting here in my dressing gown still thinking of going to kitchen and making porridge. I am hungry. In fact I will pause this typing and do just that. Wait a minute do I put water in the pot or milk? My wife Anne usually makes the porridge but she is fast asleep. I will post this because if I start googling how to make porridge I will lose these words here.

Stan
I will return as soon as I have made my porridge.

[markoid]

Mark, black wool is beautiful! Besides, you have a family right here at the village. Did you have your cake yet? :)

I think Tony got the cake ;) But I'm almost sure he'll share it with me :)

That takes some courage dear girl and I reckon it's to be admired.

Tony: Beautifully expressed!

[aranuk]

Ok I googled and it said the water to make the porridge. It was delicious. Only setback was I woke up Anne, she heard me stirring the pot with a metal spoon. Maybe I should have used the wooden one. But that was in the cutlery drawer and raking about in there would have woken her up as well. Well could have been worse she may have wanted me to make more for her and I would still be in the kitchen making a noise. Now you would think that any old Scotsman would know how to make porridge wouldn't you? Well you know better now! I'm not really your ordinary Scotsman you know. No, I wear underpants under my kilt. I don't like the taste of whiskey either. Once in a blue moon now I wear a kilt. Usually at weddings. Never at funerals, no,no never. Mind you on a hot summers day it is really hot under the kilt as hot air rises doesn't it. Now that's when I don't wear anything under the kilt. It gets a wee bitty annoying though after the ladies at the wedding get a few cocktails down their thrapples and start lifting the kilt to see whats what. Did I call them ladies? Well, They were ladies at the church and outside the church getting their photos taken but when they let their hair down as we say they become something more than a lady. Lets leave it at that. Quarter past seven now and I am still wide awake. The reason I am not tired is that since I retired two years ago I like, no I love sleeping in late. How late ? Very late sometimes. And if you sleep at different hours your body gets confused I think. Your brain doesn't. Here is one for Ulli. When I read the packet of porridge for instructions on how to cook it said that you stir the porridge as the sun moves. Now that really confuses an astrologer at 7am whether he is awake or not. I was wondering if it meant as the sun "seems" to move left to right in the sky or whether it goes the other way as we astrologers have it moving round the chart in an anti clockwise direction. So I decided to stir it as if I was stupid like the rest of the human race that knows nothing about astrology. Please don't take that last sentence serious I am only making a funny story ok.?
How many times on holiday when you have a clear black sky and the Moon is moving across the sky from left to right at some speed too you know. You mention to your friends that moon is actually going the opposite direction and they look at you askance with wide open eyes as if you told them the sun was actually cold and black. They have been watching it all evening literally moving from left to right and you say the opposite and try to explain to them that it is the earth that is turning the opposite way to the moon. hmm....It is daylight here now and it is Monday the day before my 65th birthday. Ulli i was born in 1946 at 21.18 Edinburgh. I have Cancer rising 13.34 and my slow moon in Taurus. Ulli I only do horary astrology these days, I find it much more fun. It is a constant learning experience. Natal of course is too I'm not knocking it. I still dabble in that as well but not as much. My attention is more focussed there. Go where you find joy. See my signature.

Bye bye for now, I will read a few posts and see if I get tired.

G'day Markoid,

I would happilly share with you mate, but after being tempted back here by Marianne's promise of cake and full-cream milk, I have arrived to find the table bare!

Quite frankly, I think that JB has scoffed the lot herself!

Now, it's only a matter of time..................................

BTW, thank you for your comment. Much appreciated. :)

Hmmm.. a devious bit of trickery :) .... still we got you back here, so that's a win for the 'village people' :)


On a personal note I am putting finishing touches to my medicine staff... it just needs a few crystals, eagle eyes and such. In case it hard to see what's what it has eagle and snake, whale, lizard, wolf, talon, dolphin, horse foot, spider. I started out thinking to do just the eagle head but got all carried away with it :)

NIce one, markoid,
creatives here too, what a cool village this is.

This Chandelier im restoring for my doc, is coming along nicely.
i will post some pics up when its done.
It's still all in pieces. Today has been spent cleaning brass,
tonight hopefully i will get it all wired up.

[ViralSpiral]

Good morning from Munich, village people :)

Just love the medicine staff Markoid, especially that you got carried away! Gorgeous!

Its cold, dark and rainy (don't let Shadowstalker hear ;)). I was commenting how much I enjoyed sensing the seasons change. One can actually take it literally. Thursday I was in a t-shirt, Friday in winter woollies. A temperature drop of over 15 degrees during the day.


Here a pic of our autumn colours

I also used to have "mother-issues" until I realized how similar we were. Now we are in a place where we both have learnt put our hand up and say, okay my turn to speak.. http://files.myopera.com/debplatt/smiley/chuckle.gif

Aaaanyhoo, am still a bit mizz that Lord Sid is no longer contributing. I looked forward to his posts. Oh well, perhaps a sojourn is also healthy



Good luck and have fun with the chandelier Astrid. Post completed item pic here >>>>____________<<<<

Hello Mon Ami,

As you may have noticed, I have corrected the glaring mistake in your post. You are fortunate; as I consider you a special friend, I shall not be sending you my editor's invoice.

As for the cake (splutter, spit...), I do not know what you are talking about!

:first::p :first::p

Silly boy!

[Lisab]

Have to agree with the complex mother/daughter thing Ulli. Im only now slowly rebuilding mine and mum's. She's a very angry,resentful and sometimes even bitter lady I have to detatch for my sanity. I used to have a past life astrology book with case histories in and some of my aspects pointed to the slave/master relationship between us of probably multiple past lives. I only know basic astrology but that master/slave possibility scenario resonates on an intuitive level as well. She's very domineering to me but not my siblings altho our relationship is healing now. She used to call me thick all my life, even to her friends, I can still hear it "why is she so stupid" but much forgiveness now and we're getting there. I imagine our last life together was probably the upstairs/downstairs of Victorian England - Ive had the dreams! I still get anxious around her but we do also share the same sense of humour and we do laugh more these days which is so good. She has a very masculine energy even though shes also a Pisces her moon is Sag.. so shes also very blunt of speech too!

Purplelama Ive only just looked at your amazing fire altar. I have to switch between laptop and Iphone to get vids which is fine but sometimes I forget and mean to go back. Fantastic thankyou.

Stan I also had porridge this morning but I made it with milk and (ahem) I microwaved it cos I was on the run this morning. I doubt you would have called it porridge if you'd been here!

Anyone sleeping erratically again. I know I am. I know its an upcoming full moon but I also wonder if Im tuning into Rahkyt's baby feeds! I wouldnt put anything past this thread! Love to you all Lisa xxx Ok Im hitting the post reply thingy here but nothings happening I apologize if my post comes up more than once!

[Marianne]

Anyone sleeping erratically again. I know I am. I know its an upcoming full moon !

Lisa, I am. Last night I could not sleep until 2 AM. Not even tossing and turning, just stone cold AWAKE. The odd thng is, I woke up at my normal time and feel fine today! The afternoon may bring on the wearies, but we shall see.

[PurpleLama]

Today is the first day of the Seventh Day of the Universal Cycle of the mayan calendar according to calleman. FWIW, I think that's got more to do with the sleeplessness than the full moon.

I am not one to get hung up on dates and predictions and such, but myself and a few others I know IRL have had huge amounts of synchronicity with this particular interpretation of the calendar.

[Marianne]

PL, what does that mean for us? Besides sleeplessness.

[PurpleLama]

it means 18 more days before *the* day, 2012 a year early, blah-dee-blah. The 28th october, 2011 is the end date for calleman's interpretation of the mayan calendar. I personally have been experiencing cycles of conscious evolution that have been following the cycles laid out in his calendar *for years*. Playdo can attest, he is the one who brought it to my attention over 4 years ago. I anticipate good things to happen over the next few weeks, again, FWIW.

It means...."hang on to your spiritual seats"...the cosmic roller coaster is about to fly off its tracks...we are going air(space)-borne : )
And that great big crystal cosmic mirror of balancing is about to reflect back instantly what each of Us projects...
Annnnddd that is GOOD for Most.......butttttt....wellllllll ...You know : )

Love, Love, Love...have a Great Day Junebug...and if Ya need a nap this afternoon...Happy Higher Dreams : )

[ulli]

Stan, I have an ancient book on horary astrology, haven't looked at it in 25 years. Now is The Time. Say no more.
Your post made me laugh, about the moon's movements...been there, done that, haha. I also have a slow moon in Taurus.
Square Pluto.
I'm trying to keep astro chat to a minimum fearing another avalanche of requests for readings. When they come in faster than I can accommodate I cave in, because I have these guilt issues. It's something I need to address. With my natal Pluto in the first house I have two personalities...one is called "All", and the other one is called "Nothing". The moment I feel overwhelmed I freeze, and Nothing comes out of hiding.

Junebug, I love that picture of the round table and bentwood chairs on the Willie Nelson vid...what I'd give to have a coffee there with (each one of) you and chat. The way the sunlight falls on that table...so inviting.

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Happy Today, people!


Today is the first day of the Seventh Day of the Universal Cycle of the mayan calendar according to calleman. - Purple Lama

It's actually tomorrow, the 11th. Or are you doing that strange timeline thing again, and you are one day ahead of everybody else?

[PurpleLama]

I am getting my dates from here:

http://uazu.net/calleman/

the mayanmajix site won't load on the pixi, so I am forces to resort to other methods of reference.

night befort last I was firing a rifle in this huge room, hitting these buttons which in turn popped open these huge panels with all kinds of goodies inside.

[aranuk]

That is me awake after 8hrs sleep. It's now nearly 6pm did I miss anything? Oh yes. My wife took the bus and went shopping, she doesn't drive. My bad. She is fine. Now if I can stay awake until 2am then if I sleep then I can wake up on my birthday. This is a big birthday. I am a big boy tomorrow. I hope my family have not arranged a secret party for me. They did that on my 40th. That now seems like about 5 years ago. But it isn't it is 25 years ago. Time goes quickly when you are having fun eh? My daughter passed away 22 yrs ago. My grandson Josh was a wee babe of 10 weeks old. My wife and I got him then to bring up and he is now 22. That's where the years went silently into the past. He was a most delightful child really. Until he was 16 that is. He then started behaving strange and had to be taken to the mental hospital. He is on medication for a sort of bi-polar/ mystery disorder. He is still with us. He is well these last few months. Anyway I must get a shower now and take Anne to Asda for milk. Porridge too we were running short in the porridge department. I will pop back later you guys and gals. I luvs ya all.

Listening to John Lash and Dr. Judy Wood being interviewed speaking about her book "Where Did The Towers Go?"
The only area where they seem to not be totally on the same page is the question of vengeance. If the perpetrators are caught one day, what to do with them.
Judy Wood seems to be inclined towards amnesty...just focus on the good side...
like the release of free energy and how it will change our culture totally.
Meanwhile John Lash keeps mentioning how it is a natural part of human nature to want to seek vengeance.
I see their predicament as something far down the road, but also somehow agree with both of their views.
I would say rather than seek vengeance call it seek justice. Different words, but maybe same action.

In my view a society which can claim justice has more trusting individuals than one that wants to free all perpetrators.

[ulli]

@aranuk

What you mentioned there (about losing a daughter, and raising a grandson) really shows up in your chart...
four Scorpio planets in the 5th house...
wow, I'm praying for your karma to ease off a bit now, and hopefully give you a break.
But on the other hand you must have been made of some strong stuff.

I've had my share of suffering, with just one offspring, but nothing like yours.
So what is Josh up to these days? What does his chart look like?
You just had Saturn on your sun, I hope it wasn't too bad.
Will you look at my chart, if I look at yours?

[aranuk]

I love that cafe picture too, Ulli. It would be a delight to have coffee with our friends there.

And the song reminds me of when my boys were little, dancing around the dining room table to this tune. :)

[Heyoka_11]

I started out thinking to do just the eagle head but got all carried away with it

Mark that is absolutely brilliant; and I mean brilliant. You are an absolute craftsman!

Now, I have included the following picture because it had me intrigued (still does). At first glance, I thought that your staff may have been designed as an elaborate smoking implement, but later I realised that what you have attached here is a shell (I think).

10435

which brings me to my question.

Is it a .........coneshell? :lol:

[astrid]

Another pruductive day yesterday, ( yays),
@ Ulli, now you have me freaked out..the similarities keep building....
I do the same, take on too much, get overwhelmed and Freeze.
Been frozen for AGES, finally i'm starting to work again.
One project at a time, i have had this one for over a year,
i'm surprised people are so patient with me.

Today i'm wiring up the fitting.
Then tomorrow, hopefully the fun begins, in dressing the frame with crystals.
I rearranged my work space, AKA lounge room, to help with my work flow a bit more.
I still have boxes everywhere from the move here in March.

Heya Tony, :) It is multi purpose, it is hydraulic ram pump, a stargate vortex, a remote listening device ( if you put your ear close you can hear.... wood) and it's a...... nah.. it's a shell.
Thanks (also to Astrid and viral spiral) for the kind comments.

Astrid: The chandelier rebuild sounds a bit daunting to me. Are you a general crafts person or do you specialise in something (eg. electrical or other such trade)

[ulli]

Too much rain...so we had a landslide behind our house...it broke a water pipe, nothing life threatening.
now without water. Life in the tropics.... sigh
Will take a couple of hours of shoveling tomorrow before the plumber can fix it.
Minor inconveeenience...

[astrid]

Jill of all trades, master of none, lol.

Have had many various trades, i get bored after i master one, and have to move on to a new one.

I have been renovating houses, restoring furniture and lighting for some time.
Just finished and sold a house, so its break time from that for a little while now.

Lighting still has my interest, thankfully as i have a house full of lighting related projects.
I'm moving towards making my own fittings from scratch, which means i will need to learn to weld next.
Im conflicted though, people want what i do, i never have any issues selling my work, what ever it is im doing,
but to me its all just "stuff" and we already have WAY TOO much stuff on the planet.

I make alot of things out of junk, things that get thrown out, so that's something i guess,
but still its all just stuff at the end of the day.

I balance it all out with my healing work, so that kind of helps me to get my head around it a bit more.

My ultimate aim is to make stunning lighting that is self powered.
I have a few ideas of how to do this,
but for now i'm just going to clear the decks of all these promised projects.

Wiring today is being tricky, some of fitting is well clogged with a hundred years of old wiring.
So far i'm cleaning it out with increasing thicknesses of bendy wire, but its proving stubborn,
good thing i'm very patient when it comes to very fiddly work.

[Marianne]

It's just coming dawn here in the deep south. It rained last night, so no starry goodness... but plants and wildlife are loving the rain, so it's all good.

Mark, your staff is incredible! Beautiful craftsmanship. And Astrid, your work sounds really satisfying... glad you are on a roll. I understand what you say about learning something and then feeling bored so you move on... you collect up a lot of skills that way. I've done similiar in other areas. Your idea of using 'found' materials to make functional stuff is great -- I've done some found crafts. Requires a different kind of creativity from following a pattern. I think it's good for the heart and soul to work that way.

Ulli, hope your plumber has things set right soon.

I've decided to stay home from work today... a sort of mental health day. Have some important work to do here, for a dear friend.

I'll be making chicken soup later, just the thing to simmer on the stove. Lots of lovely veggies in it. Please stop by, you beautiful people, and have some with me!

Lots of love,
Junebug

[markoid]

Thanks Marianne.. for the compliment and the soup offer... I'm in :) .....Have a lovely day off work.
We had our first sunny day in a while today, it has been nice to get some spring rain to keep the water table topped before what is usually a very hot summer here in the sub tropics. Sat out and soaked up some vitamin D3 too ... niiiice

I'm forever fixing lamps, and could use your services right now. I had an antiques shop in Barbados and when I left there twenty years ago all the stuff that I could not sell got packed into the container and shipped to Costa Rica, where there is no market nor culture for my antiques.
The picture on my album on my profile page shows Kittie sitting next to a lamp which came from Afghanistan and was made by tribes people out of the dried bladder of a camel. It has a lightbulb in both top and bottom parts and I recently had to rewire that.
Another leftover from my antique shop past is a reading lamp made of brass, and the shade and stand were covered with ostrich skin. It even has a dimmer switch, which I can only get to work now if I insert a wall plug, as the original brass knob got lost during the last move.

I'm impressed by the high skilled Oz presence on this thread...
Markoid's cane is a master piece.

[ulli]

Let me rephrase that, Markoid,
your staff is a magic wand!
Will you allow the village to share it?
One more question: are we nearly eighteen yet?

[transiten]

astrid Spot On! Too much stuff that's my mantra and all the same somehow i've managed to end up with it myself.... hope my upcoming retrograde Saturn conjoining my Moon will mean "clean out old stuff from my mother and myself" and not only feeling lonely, depressed and having problems with women:peep: Saturn also representing "building walls"...excuse me from derailing into astrology, just part of my everyday life...

The above post needs clarification. Ulli being too cryptic here....
By eighteen I was referring to atticus idea of forming a group of eighteen, except in his case it happened in a forced way, while with this thread it seems to be happening naturally...
There was no plan... (I swear)

It's 7:31 am, ulli still in bed with her iPad and strolling through the village, watching the children play.
Hubby taking a shower after fixing the plumbing himself. Only the gardener showed up with the shovel, so hubby fixed the broken pipe. He is quite good at that, being a doctor of human pipes means being a plumber is a piece of cake for him. Wow, did I just say "cake"? Anyway, what most people don't realize is that doctors have to deal with worse smells than plumbers, on a daily basis.

I balance it all out with my healing work, so that kind of helps me to get my head around it a bit more.

My ultimate aim is to make stunning lighting that is self powered.
I have a few ideas of how to do this,
but for now i'm just going to clear the decks of all these promised projects.

Wiring today is being tricky, some of fitting is well clogged with a hundred years of old wiring.
So far i'm cleaning it out with increasing thicknesses of bendy wire, but its proving stubborn,
good thing i'm very patient when it comes to very fiddly work.

Hi astrid

I was referring to this post in my last post but i don't know how to pick out just one part of a post..can someone help me?

Junebug we're having chicken soup tomorrow! I roasted a chicken yesterday, currying the leftovers tonight and boiling the rest up for soup tomorrow. Yep Im really getting mileage out of that chicken-sign of the times for us lol. And being in Wales there will be leeks in mine. This thread must be chicken soup for the soul.

With the right attitude Saturn is easy.
And he doesn't build walls, he builds rings.
Rings are good, especially if they have gems embedded in them.

[ulli]

astrid Spot On! Too much stuff that's my mantra and all the same somehow i've managed to end up with it myself.... hope my upcoming retrograde Saturn conjoining my Moon will mean "clean out old stuff from my mother and myself" and not only feeling lonely, depressed and having problems with women:peep: Saturn also representing "building walls"...excuse me from derailing into astrology, just part of my everyday life...

I thought Saturn's retrograde was over....or are you talking about progressed Saturn joining your moon? Then you have my sympathy.
But think of all those who were born with a Saturn moon conjunction or square...their emotional coolness means they are from Vulcan. The earth needs more Spocks, I say.

[PurpleLama]

Let me rephrase that, Markoid,
your staff is a magic wand!
Will you allow the village to share it?
One more question: are we nearly eighteen yet?

The above post needs clarification. Ulli being too cryptic here....
By eighteen I was referring to atticus idea of forming a group of eighteen, except in his case it happened in a forced way, while with this thread it seems to be happening naturally...
There was no plan... (I swear)

If anything, we are more like the 33....

wait a minute I *am* 33 (years old)

*hears eerie twilight zone theme song*

At least with flasky around, I won't be the one teased for being the youngest of "the rulers of the world".

Ha ha! Thanks ulli Finally a Capricorn ruled by Saturn came to my aid...No no, Saturn is going to go retrograde over my Moon from October 30 until Aug 6 2012 (already started i think)
Sure about the "Vulcan pple" but they are maybe used to it and also depends of the rest of their charts and personal development etc......You know depression took 6 years of my life, don't have one single day more to give away.

And also my stomach problem won't go away...i feel better one day followed by 2-3 days down with a pressure in my head, dizzy sighting and tiredness...a guy specialized on stomach ailments is guiding me on the net but it's tricky to find out what is what...

Tried to stay away from the forum and this thread particularly because of the risk me just complaining:sad:

But perhaps you can help me with the "quotation problem"?

[PurpleLama]

I would not dream of saying otherwise! I was strictly referring to physical earth-year age! As is the case with my own seventeen year old daughter, often the youngest in years is the oldest soul around, otherwise they would not be drawn into groups like these.

Paul is here now, ( I can see you, Paulie, peekabooo!!!!) and before Heyoka and PurpleLama can suck him into their plots of dualistic gender wars I say we appeal to Paul's higher nature and ask him nicely what would be the most sophisticated way to reduce a quote to it's relevant parts.

Can't help you with that, transiten, as I don't know. But about Saturn.
Saturn is now moving foreward, approaching your moon. By the end of November will have passed the most sensitive area and you will be in the clear, until February of 2012.
That's when he stops, right at the end of Libra, and only then goes retrograde. Will reach your moon in May 2012. Stops right there, and gradually moves forward; by July 2012 you will be free of that influence. So we are looking at November 2011, and May till July of next year. Not too bad.
Just get your house in order.
Why am I saying this? It will simply happen, all by itself. Saturn on the moon is an automatic tidy-upper.

[ThePythonicCow]

I was out for a bit - had to do the grocery shopping and put the cold stuff away.

I don't know an easy way for most folks to reduce quotes to their relevant parts, without messing them up.

Well ... not that I can teach easily, anyway.

In the terms I would use, quoted material is in the form of nested
... bracketed text, and you have to preserve the nesting and the pairing of the opening
and closing brackets. If that makes sense to you - then cool - go for it :).

I've scratched my head for almost a year now, wondering if there was someway to explain it in a straight forward way. I've not thought of a way.

Meanwhile I just fix up quotes as I read the forum.

[Lisab]

I know you wasnt saying otherwise ya silly 'old' thang! I know what you mean tho 'bout the younger earth years guys around here. They never cease to amaze me with their posts and such. Im always humbled. x

[ThePythonicCow]

I just hit the "reply with quote" an just delete the parts I don't want.
If you're replying to a "simple" post (one that doesn't already have quoted text), then that's the deal. Just don't remove the
... brackets surrounding the quote.

If you get tangled in a fifteen round boxing match on the forum, then the quoted material can get many layers deep, and simplifying it is the kind of work only a geek would love.

Great ulli! Saturn builds Rings! How beautiful, he might bring me a mature partner maybe, actually in the short interpretation on my astrologyprogram that's the most positive interpretation i've seen so far! Saturn might bring a serious relationship into your life, perhaps even marriage:nod:

Have you read Liz Greene's "Saturn, a new outlook on an old devil".. should reread it...perhaps it's time to take up the astrology thread? Or maybe create some intrerest here?

Transiten, a party would be so cool! Chocolate baking chips are like chocolate chips used in cookies and muffins ... or can be melted down and used to coat goodies with. Hershey's makes their 'special dark' chocolate into baking chips, a recent find for me.

I make something called buckeyes -- do you know what they are? They are little balls made of peanut butter, powdered sugar, and some other stuff, chilled and then dipped in chocolate, leaving a bit showing on the top. The chips have a little wax so they stay on without melting too much.

I can't eat peanut butter or peanuts, but I love to make them for other people to eat. They never last long.


Junebug we're having chicken soup tomorrow! I roasted a chicken yesterday, currying the leftovers tonight and boiling the rest up for soup tomorrow. Yep Im really getting mileage out of that chicken-sign of the times for us lol. And being in Wales there will be leeks in mine.

Lisa, we're on the same wavelength... doing the same thing except I bought one of the rotisserie chickens to start, then made chicken pot pie, and today soup. It's great to get all that mileage out of a single purchase.

I planted leeks 3 years ago, and they wintered over beautifully. They were harvestable most of the year. I happen to have some store bought leeks now so they will be in my soup as well, which I'll start in about an hour.

Do you make potato and leek soup?


This thread must be chicken soup for the soul.
It is, for sure.

Love,
Junebug

[Ruby L.]

Just a quick fly by to let you know I saw my Aunt; her face lit up when I walked into the intensive care unit. It was was so heartening to see her eyes smiling big, I didn't even notice all the bottles, tubes, needles and bags on/in/around her at first.

And the absolute best thing: She's improve SO much from the couple of days before!!!

Thank you for your good thoughts, awesome Villagers! Even if you don't know her, all your good intentions has pooled in with others sent her way...it's doing something magical! I've told her about you sending her healing-- she was incredibly, incredibly touched.

I joked that tomorrow I'm going to come back with a stack of sticky labels with positive words written on them (in the style of Dr, Emoto), and will paste them up on all her IV bottles.

(Of course, that's not possible, being the ICU... but once she gets into a normal room-- it's going to look like a protest rally in there, with positive words pasted everywhere the eye can see!)

So, thank you again, all!
Here's toasting a glass of Slivovitch to my Aunt's health, and to everyone who's sent good thoughts. Heck, let's make that a toast for wellbeing of every single being in this universe, why not?

Zivili! :tea:

(Cheers/To your health and happiness)

Zivili! Ruby thats such good news.

Yes Junebug we do have leek and potatoe soup its called Kawl here in Wales. They make it in the pubs when the rugby is on and being as Wales are doing well in the rugby at the moment Im guessing theres alot of kawl being eaten in the pubs lately.x

Ruby! So happy about your auntie! Haha, I can picture her room when you've fixed it up. Here's to her continuing improving health!

My husband was painting the windows this past weekend - the ladder fell down and smashed our front light in a thousand pieces! Just glad he wasn't on it when it fell (it's happened before).

[astrid]

Ok, first apologies if i seem a bit random, not really following the convos here,
and in my own little world, Aspergers does that.
And Aspergers on a creative roll, REALLY does that, lol.
When i do finally "switch on" to a task, like this light i'm working on,
it's like i have complete tunnel vision,
don't eat, don't sleep much, etc..
I think its why i was draw to this thread i can just post what im doing,
without the social expectations of having to be a part of a
discussion if i can't manage it.

Yesterday was yet another seamlessly productive day,
I got all the wiring done.
I continue to be amazed by my sudden workflow,
after been creatively stalled for a very long time.
I have a host of guides working beside me to,
so lovely to have help in high places, lol.
A few times i had to locate things, tools, etc,
that were still boxed after moving,
a big coil of special cable that i use for chandeliers and some other things.
Each time i was taken to the exact spot i needed to look,
that box in the shed under the workbench,
that cupboard in the laundry, etc, it was kind of cool.

Lower thinking mind is turned off, and higher intuitive, collective mind is on,
so its all very floaty, dreamy, time nonexistent.
A whole day is gone and it felt like 10 mins.

This is how i remember things being when i was at my creative
best in my 20s and 30s. But it looks like i have now found a
blending of my spirit, shamanic work, into my 3D work.
Something i have been trying to do for such a long time but with no joy.

The seems to be that i can steer things now. I have more control.
If my lower mind starts coming in, i take a break and have a talk
to that part of myself, thanking it for its interest, and opinions,
then it is happy for me to continue.

Maybe the time was just right,
alignments are all there, i have the right support i need.

Sensing a new guide too, which is always exciting.
When i took a nap i noticed my bedroom was all buzzing with energy.
i got out my iphone- i have an EMF app to test magnetic fields,
and there was a certain spot, at the end of my bed that was VERY high energy.
I used my hand and i could feel the change in temperature.
It was much warmer. Felt very loving too.
I will do a journey to see if i can connect with new guide later today.
Exciting times no question.

@ Ulli, i also was dealing in antiques for a while,
i was a part of a big antique center, where i had a stall.
I was focusing on vintage industrial, and country pieces.
I found the politics of a large center a bit overwhelming,
And the owner of the venture was a thief and cheat and a liar,
and also my best friend of 20 years', partner, long story, but very tricky.
In the end i had to get out for my own sanity.
Pity he was such a jerk, it was a great outlet as you didn't have to be there that much,
i could just focus on buying and making, etc....
I haven't really worked since then, 5 or so years ago,
it ended up being all quite traumatic.

[Heyoka_11]

Transiten, I sent you a PM. Do you speak French? Oo, we must talk sometime ... :)

Hey Toots,

Now you may not be aware of this, but I am quite fluent in French as well.

Would you like me to say something? ;)

Vous mon cher, sont très méchant. Vous me encadrées de manière plus lâche, hier, et vous pensez que vous avez gagné la guerre. Eh bien, laissez-moi vous dire que vous n'avez pas. Vous savez que je n'ai pas touché le gâteau, et pourtant vous me faire asseoir dans le coin. Phooey à vous! Ensuite, vous soudoyer la vache avec votre gâteau et le lait entier. Vous tournez bon manteau! Violet-lama et je vais regrouper, et nous volent l'allégeance des vaches de retour avec plus de gâteaux et du lait, et donc, mon cher, vous obtiendrez ce qui vient à vous. Et où étiez-vous après la classe de science de toute façon? Vous n'avez pas le courage!

Et le père qu'est-ce qu'il fait le père?
Il fait des affaires

Viral Spiral...are you sure they taught you that poem at school?

And Ruby: looks to me like some people get sick just so they can reunite the family, right?
Happy that it went well and you can now relax and enjoy your time together.

[transiten]

Wow, Heyoka moved the war to another country.


Tres bien! Had French at school, many full moons and at least 27,5 wrinkes ago. One poem stands out:

La mère fait du tricot
Le fils fait la guerre
Elle trouve ça tout naturel la mère
Et le père qu'est-ce qu'il fait le père?
Il fait des affaires

You already did!!! Avec les cedilles et circonflexes tu veux dire?

And ulli, your humour is the dry cut type i just looove!

[ViralSpiral]

Oh Ulli, you are sick (sic)! http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/laugh3-smiley.gif?1292867631

And oui, I learnt that poem at schooll!! I was horrified, argued the illégalité of it , and of course never forgot. I even recall the teachers name. Mrs Spence. Trays francays... trays lala

[Marianne]

Going out for a Greek salad ... with my best buddy Terri. She's sad, hope I can cheer her up. And maybe she can cheer me up too.

Ulli, is there something odd going on astrologically? The energy feels a little whacked to me. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing smiles much today.

But there's a wonderful thread by Sirius White called The Return of the Sacred Feminine. I'm giving him a Gold Star, am befriending him if he accepts, and thanking all the men who make a positive comment on the post.

[Mark]

What beauty lies in this thread. The Village. I like that. It IS a village. As the rest of PA goes about its business of discovering, decoding and declaiming the false metanarrative - which is totally as it should be and a sign of all being right with the world - here, the magical staffs take form, the missing kitties are found, the pains, trials and tribulations of life find expression and remediation, the vagaries of physical existence are discussed and shared, the poignant moments of life are proclaimed, laughter and tears are shared, happiness and sadness meld as one expression of our shared existence, the choice we have all made, bound to an even greater degree by the presence of those silent yet watchful, commiserating, perhaps deriding, but in all instances growing, alongside.

Such a wonderful life in all of its many experiences. I sit with the boy as mother and grandmother shop, we've finished moving, I'm so proud of Sira, we've done so much, our life has changed so wonderfully since Jaedyn has arrived. A new town, a new apartment, a reunion with family, new resolutions to live the life we are born to live, the synchronicities abound.

When life conspires to make your dreams come true the manifestation is beyond amazing. When you make the decision to do only what it is you believe you were brought here to do, came here to do, chose to incarnate to do, the world, Creation itself conspires in the manifestation of your dreams. It happens every time in ways that you cannot believe, so amazing in the way things turn up, happen, the way that everything that needs to be taken care of IS taken care of, how food appears, clothes, how money, how all that is truly required in order to exist and to carry out your mission magically arrives at your doorstep, without you doing anything other than what comes naturally, by being yourself and following the signs and coincidences wherever they lead.

Crazy talk to many, but signposts to a better and more conscious life to the chosen few who give up agency and control to the degree possible. Letting go of the fear, feeling it lessen as time passes and you receive indication after indication, proof after proof that a consicous Creation is indeed guiding your Path, holding you lovingly and gently in a creative embrace, birthing the future with each of your thoughts, with each intention. Learning to live in that space and to correspondingly change your thoughts, your ways of living, your ways of Being to that boundless, formless expectation and gratitude such experiences cement within the neural networks of your mind, replacing the fear-based, cynical expression of living that may have preceded.

Gratitude. Deep, sublime joy and expectation, even knowing that life's ups and downs remain, but seeking to cultivate the peaceful equanimity that promises eternity, living in full knowledge that there is no ending or beginning, all just Is. Thank you, One and All, for BEing. Here and Now ...

LOL the coincidences/synchronicities abound in such an amazing manner these days. Their meaning seems to correspond to whatever we need in that particular moment, which seems to be the entire lesson/meaning, the subjective attention given to each and every one of us in our connection to something beyond ourselves that, even while being so vast and all-encompassing, has time enough to pay attention to our own seemingly petty journeys through life ... I just can't get over it ... in all the best ways! If you are looking for it, they seem to always be present! Thank you for sharing that one ...

For me, they become a source of abiding joy, once they occur and I recognize their meaning to whatever extent. LOL I suppose the depth of the synchronicities corresponds to our ability to discern them, as well as our greater understanding. We 'get' what we 'can' ... if we were more knowledgeable, or better connected to our Lower and Higher selves, perhaps we would get more out of them than we do ... good night to you then, I wish you dreams full of energetic coalescence and ultra-dimensional processing!

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

I had a great synchronicity the other day. I was working in the garden and found among my cayenne peppers one of the enormous grasshoppers that emerge here each summer (see picture). As I left the garden and walked up the steps to the house to enter the kitchen, I was thinking to myself what it would be like to eat such a huge insect. I imagined the juxtaposition of the hard exoskeleton textured against the gooey insides of the thorax and abdomen. I was wondering if I would cook it or eat it raw. As I entered the kitchen thinking of eating this insect, I flipped the radio on and the station was on NPR and the show was "Splendid Table" with Lynne Rossetto Kaspar. The first sentence I heard her speak was (paraphrase): "Around the world, there are more and more people accessing a food source that has not been eaten or even viewed as a food source before. More and more people are preparing and eating insects in different ways......."

I thought to myself: "Rock on, Life! What a splendid synchronicity!"

[PurpleLama]

Let me know how it tastes!

[Heyoka_11]

I imagined the juxtaposition of the hard exoskeleton textured against the gooey insides of the thorax and abdomen.

Agh Glasshopper.........

............man who wishes to experience juxtaposition of the hard against the soft, is far better off with a soft centered candy. :biggrin1:

[Karma Ngedom]

Ohh my friends!!! Since ancient time grasshoppers eaten by my ancestors in Mexico... in Oaxaca to be precise.. I have to say: delicious with it savory lime flavor, salty and crunchy. But no more for me in some years now: Cannot take the picture of this hunted beings in big beautiful baskets. Every day I´m getting more and more incapable to eat so many helpfull beings. Something is going with me... Maybe an "excess" of serious meditation is making me more aware of life...

[PurpleLama]

We had crickets around for a while that were flavored like potato chips. I remember I liked the sour cream and onion flavor the best. The bacon cheddar flavor was kind of nasty. They reminded me most of corn chips.

@playdo I would totally roast those babies on the grill and have them with sriracha (delicious hot chili sauce).

I have become more acutely aware of what I am eating in just the past two weeks. I feel more alive. I bless the food and its source. There's an interesting thread about that floating around Avalon's intraweb somewhere.

Natürlich schmecken sie ganz lecker! Honestly, the only way I'd eat that thing is if there weren't a scrap of nuthin' else to eat, roasted over a fire with sriracha or fresh cayenne (substitute your favorite pepper) and drenched in lime juice. Maybe a little cumin............. That sounds pretty good, actually.

Awww, Tony, where is your adventuresomeness?

My adventuresomeness extended to chocolate coated ants once as a child. They were introduced here in Oz way back when; mid to late sixties perhaps. They "hit" the scene around Christmas time, back in the days when exotic foods were only available at that time of year.

I tried one.

They have not been available here since.

That my friend, is the extent of my adventuresomeness. I am the son of a butcher's daughter, and hence get my protein fix from more traditional sources. :)

[PurpleLama]

Playdo, The best part would be the look on your wife's face. Of course, mine would not be very keen to this idea, either. IIRC, she never even tried the crickets.

Tony, don't you love how my buddy Playdo, here, was able to take us straight from synchronicity to eating bugs?

The ladies left us unattended, and I would say we've been relatively well behaved. I can't wait to see junebug's comment of this most recent turn of topic. Thanks, Playdo.

Wild-berry zinger tea, frozen blueberries, and an episode of ancient aliens :)

Well, whilst Playdo has certainly provided us with an excellent example of synchronicity, the subject does not exactly break new ground here, whilst eating grasshoppers on the other hand, that is something worth getting our teeth into (in my case, albeit metaphorically).

Junebug as we are all aware is a marvellous cook, and I am quite confident that she would have no trouble at all in managing to incorporate insect into one of her dishes. Tell you what I'll do; I'll put a couple of pictures here for her; you know, to give her a bit of inspiration.


10487104851048410486


There we go, two birds with one stone! That'll give her some inspiriation, and also make amends for the fight the other day after science class.

Speaking of birds, it's awfully quiet here without them :blah: And they reckon we men are the war makers! How about a beer mate...is there a game on? :P

Oops! Sorry Starsha, you snuck in while I had my back turned!

Now Liliane's here as well!

Oh my god, what have I done?

Talking about synchronicities!

I'm off to Stockholm now:flypig:

9.17 a.m Here and Now...just got back from the school which is just opposite my house, so I get to listen to the little ones at playtime, which is so beautiful. Is there any sound more joyful and uplifting than children at play?

Its damp and misty outside, kinda eery but I like it. Am now sitting on my bed drinking a cup of Welsh Brew tea made locally with Yoshi my cat purring gently next to me. Am wondering if anyone in the village has noticed Lisa subtly changing the subject from crunchy bug eating! eeewww. Thankyou Starsha for popping in Il have blueberries too please!!!

[Heyoka_11]

5:02 PM. Still at work, though I'll sneak out early (as usual) around 5:30. I have a mezzanine floor office in a busy workwhop, and being a weekday, the air is full of sound. There are at least three different radio stations at close to full volume, so that each worker with a radio can hear there's over everyone elses. Occasionally an angle grinder will join in the cacophony for five or ten seconds. There is the sound of a forklift, moving forward; moving back, with the accompanying reversing alarm. Each time that one of the large gantry cranes travels, it's alarm joins in with the forklift. The air conditioner above my desk provides not just cool air, but one of the few constants in what is otherwise a discordant mix. I can just make out the cooling fan of the desktop, and the tapping on my keyboard; light taps whilst writing successfully; abrupt, aggresive ones when correcting. Now a rattle gun has started, but only in stoccato like fashion. Two voices; a cheery exchange of Aussie slang and expletives. Light heartedness grows as the time to depart approaches. Now looking through my window and out of the large open door to a row of eucalypts set against a clear blue spring sky. The red hues of the distant hills are turning the colour of rust. Shadows growing very long now.

And as usual, Heyoka sits in the middle of it all, totally detached. May as well be fast asleep. :lazy2:

An extremely worthwhile exercise..........it is now 05:22 pm.

Guys whats everyone up to on 11.11.11 ? Ive booked the day off work as Im usually in the office on a Friday. I know that on that day there are going to be many peace meditations across the world including a mass one organised by Dr. Emoto. I was thinking maybe we could arrange a time and try to get a group village meditation for peace going here.

Also Ive just watched a doc vid posted by Ktlight on the Congo. The situation in the Congo is so distressing and I always pray first for the Congo when I pray for peace because I believe that theres so much darkness there that if we can start by sending light there the light can spread. Hope Im making sense here. Basically it feels like one of the last places on earth that really needs our help. The documentary is really heavy going and Im sure youve all seen it before but I ask you go check it out if your not feeling too sensitive today (Junebug stay away!). Its only 26 minutes long and documents Americas role in the situation as well. Maybe we could focus on Congo on 11.11.11.

Any thoughts guys? x

PL, you totally rock. Is that why I'm feeling better? You have got some kind of mojo going there in your medicine bag.

[PurpleLama]

Hahahaha! Yes I was doing a distance reiki treatment!

The white with purple polka dots energy ball turned into more of a disco ball. I typically have much more control, but this one would *not* be contained. I am pretty sure there was spill over into your environment so do not be alarmed if weird things start happening today. Let go, relax, let your heart expand again.

Oh yeah, some weird stuff will happen when people come in and see that big purple polka dotted disco ball hanging up there on the ceiling. I'll have a lot of 'splainin' to do!
Yep, that feels so much better. Can we bottle that, PL?
Thanks from my expanded heart :wub:

Oh, a question: what's SHK? should have known?

Fret not my friend, for I have no herbal mojo to send JB. I just love drug humour, even when I dispense it at my own expense. Too much Cheech and Chong I guess. Mind you, I do remember way back when........... :drag:


We are goofy brother and sister, pushing each other's buttons and giggling about it (usually).

Hey Toots,

Avez-vous oublié les moments précieux derrière l'abri à vélos après la classe de mathématiques?

Pourquoi niez-vous la passion qui brûle entre nous? Vous dites que vous m'aimez pour une éternité d'un souffle, et pourtant vous décidez de nier que l'amour dès que ces "villageois" en savoir plus sur elle. Il est temps pour vous de choisir: vous devez fuir avec moi maintenant. Ensemble, nous allons passer le reste de notre vie dans une étreinte extatique. Enfin libre d'explorer à fond dans les profondeurs de notre amour effréné pour l'autre.

Whaddya reckon about that!! You did say you love it when I talk French to you.

Up in Smoke lyrics....my momma talkin to me, trying to tell me how to live,
But I dont listen to her cause I wear my sista's clothes,
he caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose.
The basketball coach had done and kicked me off the team,
for wearing high heel sneakers, and acting like a queen.
My momma talkin to me,
trying to tell me how to live.
But I dont listen to her cause my head is like a sin.
My daddy he disowned me cause I wear my mommas clothes
he caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose.
The basketball coach had done and kicked me off the team
For wearing high heel sneakers and actin like a QUEEEEEEN!
