Woke up just now having dreamt about Keith Richards, one of my favorite dream archetypes.
A true minstrel.
We chatted about his relationship with his other half.
Had a very relaxed and friendly chat.

Am still wondering how I can help people get into their centre.
In a conversation yesterday someone was telling me that they use the phrase 'I know I'm being tested' when things get tough. This is how they say they get through when there is outer hysteria, which seems to happen everywhere she goes these days. Yet the conditions are becoming worse for her.
It came to me to tell her to change that inner dialogue to something simpler, like 'am I calm?'
Just check your inner state for eqiuilibrium and calmness.
This morning I thought about that conversation again. What is wrong with 'I am being tested'?
And it came to me when you think like that you are projecting the idea out there that some faceless invisible entity is doing something to you that you are being forced into a response, like rise to the challenge.
Whereas if you only check your own being for calmness then you didn't split your world into two, i.e., the tester versus the tested. You remained only in the one single you.
When that single you is whole, undivided, then the power can come in.
Made sense to me.

That was very wicked of me.

But eaglespirit is ONE helluva Dan, you must admit.
He is the biblical Daniel who was once in the Lions den.
He is way ahead and above the rest of us.

Love love love.

[PurpleLama]

that faceless external being that's testing someone is none other than the higher self. As I have progressed with my own round of spiritual lessons the reality has never failed to provide me with a circumstance that tests my understanding of said lessons and likewise my resolve to apply it, myself. For example, I posted yesterday about giving a crazy old lady five bucks, and just to make sure I got it, after cashing my paycheck who do I see outside a store, the crazy little old lady. So I stop the car, call her over, and give her more than I did before. After work I go to a tobacco store, and leaving I am asked by an old black man outside if I can spare a cigarette, and I start to get him one, and realize 'duh'. I opened one of the cartons I just purchased and hand him a pack.

As for spiritual development, we are ever required to put our money where our mouth is, so to speak. It's one thing to read a bunch of books and never look around outside, but the instant one sincerely desires more love more light more god more ascension more understanding, one must immediately be prepared to meet the lessons in the physical, for three-dee application is required for graduation. Such a thought process may seem to invite conflict in the form of testing, but without our proving our own resolution and understanding, no development can occur. We can make noise about STO, but it don't mean a thing if we ain't reaching out to those who need it. "as you do to the least of these...."

[Ernie Nemeth]

Yes, I agree PL.
The belief in another world, another way, another paradigm, must have its witnesses.
Otherwise it is just a passing fancy with no collaborative evidence.
Those witnesses are the test, passed.
It is the test of affiliation and worthiness.
The test of faith.
The true fruition of love.
And the evolution of the soul.

[9eagle9]

There's a definite sense of defiance when one finds their short of cash and then embraces the freedom of further throwing it away. Because it is currency though, you aren't, you're just moving it further upstream. Giving away money is a good way to make room for more.

We learn to recognize when people are doing this out of percieving you as lacking or even doing it at your expense...judgment.....and those who are simply going with the flow.

Which is why I love scratch off tickets, spend two dollars get 30 in return, or 60, or whatever by making that space. Paper money no matter the denomination all take up the same sort of space. the more space we make for money the more that comes back it just comes back, you get to the point where can't avoid it.

PL, your wisdom is a blessing. Your words speak to recent events for me, helping me see what happened from a higher perspective.

I'm heading out to do the marketing.... intending to take a baby step or more.

[lindabaker]

I recently gave away a thousand US in cash. I don't need a "universal kickback", but if I get one, I'll let everybody know. And I will share. Kinda like a reverse Ponzi scheme. I loved the cigarette story. Smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

[ulli]

Where would I be if it hadn't been for you wonderful people sharing your beliefs here?
Since I value and honor each one's uniqueness I can therefore accept their vision without arguing back.
You don't look into the mouth of the gift horse...
Whatever I find useful in your vision i will grab it, hehe...mine mine mine..

I love you all.

Easier said than done.

For awhile I've tried keeping to this and the Ranch thread (with the occasional start of a new thread with something interesting from Gilliland).

Of course, the "unfinished business issue" was an aberration that should have been settled at the source but that was not an option.

[Calz]

If I was to make a wand..I'd have to make the crystal first.

And I DO know how to do that.

However......there are 'issues' with such 'making'. Some don't like it.

The basics or fundamental came out of or went public from Lawrence Livermore labs... about 10 years back.

But no-one has put the 'technique' and 'Atlantean power crystal' in the same room at the same time..until right now.

The technique would have to be refined a bit, in a specific way..but it's all there.

It's back.

Stands to reason with (allegedly) many Atlanteans now here (here n now). Me I always resonated more with Lemuria but I digress.

One of my "teacher type" friends "saw me" bringing out a tray of crystals as a "clerk" in a crystal shop in Atlantis but as always these are things others fetch for me. :noidea:

Here and Now...that presidential debate crap is playing again...I'm wondering if this is a daily thing. *sigh* Unfortunately, I'm learning something through the very noise I've been complaining about. *double sigh* Oh dear, dare I say this out loud? I like Ron Paul! Who would have thought...

Can always turn off the tv ... more problematic in a family setting.

Hey ... you are from Texas. You have more reason to know all about Ron Paul than most.


Never miss a good segway to spam this one out there again ... always makes me crack up.

Hot night hard to sleep .
And weird dreams too when I do sleep.
Recalled the end of one themes of having to
escape and of being unsafe. Remnants of things
to process triggered by some very new and intense
Relationships with teacher types my take on this.
All good though I'm just glad for the recalll even though
it's only the ending . Have a session in the morning -
which this is referring to, so better try and sleep more

[PurpleLama]

I only have a glimpse of an interlude in last nights dreams,


it was a safe place in the between place, framed out to be undetectable or something like that, and what was before was a group of us doing something, don't know what but it was defeating the evil galactic overlord kind of stuff, I was the first one to make it back out into the safe place, I knew at least one *had* to come through, for whatever the next thing was to be, and I knwe we would be lucky for any of us to make it, so all I could do was hope and wait, and one cmae through, and another, and another.... Four of us made it, so as we regrouped we knew this next thing was going to be easy, and we went on to it....

I think some major plays have been won as of late, for what it's worth.

Sometimes I wish more people would go into that barn full of cash and help themselves...it is there for you.
But old habits die hard.
Someone might be on their way to work, to a job they can't stand, and remember that barn of ours.
Do you think they immediately turn the car around and drive back and go into the barn and stuff a briefcase full of notes?
Nope.
It's the power of routine versus the power of creating the life you secretly dreamt of.

There is no war more real than the one that goes on between those two factions.

Thanks Nora. I loved seeing it again, and remember my own emotions when I first saw it...that immense longing for a better more beautiful, more magical world.
How many years ago was that? Fifteen or so?
All I know now is that I no longer have that longing....something has shifted inside me...I am ok whereever I am.

I don't need to go anywhere else...the magic is here and now, not elsewhere.
When the time comes to go to see my grandchildren I'll know and I just go...no big deal. Simple.
I stay a few weeks, I return.

Butt crack revisited. My daugher is slumping around in her baggy flannel bottoms this morning in about half moon mode. She was eating ice cream out of the carton and staring out the window so I put a quarter in the crack. Like slot machines you just can't resist .

Alas a spill of tokens didn't erupt out of her mouth .

[write4change]

Thanks. I needed that laugh. How does that classify as wings or roots?

[astrid]

Affirmative on the lemur also I was there at the end why
I'm not a swimming fan especially water out of my depth
That and another time when as a small boy I feel off a ship
in the middle of the night. Short life that one.
I must explore the lemurian life further . Last time I did I ended
up with a room full of Lemurian spirits like a whole village that I
then had to help cross over. Mass drowning can mean mass earth
bound spirits. What I did learn though was I was trying to keep
everyone calm and I agreed to come back this time if I didn't
have that task again. I can understand why we forget past
incarnation all those trauma memories would keep us stuck
from learning and moving forward like they can here but
times how many lives you have had .
It makes sense to forget certain things

This morning I found opportunities to give away abundance, in smiles and good will.

It's unseasonably warm for January.... am sitting on the south deck with laptop, low sun is bright, a gentle breeze in the old magnolia tree which oddly enough still has its green leaves. Feels like late spring.

Reading Whitley Streiber's 'Communion' for the first time. Could never read anything like that before, but something fundamental has changed for me. I feel fearless of so many things now.

It's Lemuria for me too. Flower essences are said to have originated at that time and place. No wonder I feel so at home with that.

Some days the options make it very easy, LOL. Saying this comes with some uneasiness. I have never started a thread. Threads about dreams one has seems narcissistic to me. (That is threads and not posts.) Many threads are about negative, spurious and trite 'news' stories from paid liars and sociopaths. OK, so much for my judgments. A big reason for not starting a thread is that my view of things is often at a variance with many, even here at an 'enlightened' forum. Furthermore, having been at the metaphysical thing since a little after puberty, it has been a life long path for me. I could have said that at 25 too, but I am 59 now and have a few miles of this road traveled.

If someone had been studying Martial Arts for this long, their views on subjects like, breathing, balance and strategy they would probably be shown some respect. Except for trolls of course, who live to crap on your living room rug. Light colors are a favorite.:sad: With that said, trolls are the one consideration that comes to mind around starting a thread. Some may have noticed I do not suffer fools well. Trolls, having no dignity, are not so easily managed with a sharp, some would say obnoxious and sarcastic, tongue. I would endeavor to handle them anyway as real ideas and thoughtfulness are the aforementioned light colored rug for them. There is no doubt my way of handling things would attract moderation intercession. The attacked would be cast as an attacker and I would be given free tickets to cyberia.

I appreciate having the Village, and glad that some of our regulars are moderators. By posting here, I will save them from having to put mod hats on.

For the last 4 days we have had very strong high winds on the mtn and the sun rays have been irritatingly intense and hot...ie have noticed that a lot of peoples' emotions have been on HIGH; mars is retrograde and Neptune is headed into Pisces.....

My rose bushes and plants can't make up their minds on whether to go to sleep or grow -the sun has singed my sun loving plants' leaves and others are budding new flowers or leaves -I hope they are able to withstand the frosts at night.

The scene in Contact for me was about the Universe God Goddess within all of us and expressing itself.... 'Love expressing'


The last 2 years I have spent going into sticky, icky dark places within myself and purging what needs to be purged..... physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually -primordially & here and now -few times have been brought down to below my knees with it and have gotten through it.... still here. do I still have ego? yes. do I still create/construct a story? yes.

I tend to spend half and hour or more, trying to find the one single yootoob video that was properly recorded..out of what is typically a very bad bunch.

see if you folks can hear the difference. It's the correctness of the subtleties of the vibrato in her voice, the 'plosives when she breathes onto the microphone, and the fact that the girl could really belt out a note..a note with lots of body and chest in it. That song was actually very well recorded, for it's time.


I'll show you what I mean. This one is almost ok. A bit 'hard' (goes screechy) in the high frequencies at high levels. I listened to a dozen of them before arriving at this one. Best of a bad bunch that does no justice to the original.

s8IRG2dQFm0

The original analog recording on LP is still best.

The 'je ne sais quoi' of music. The thing that brings the tears to your eyes and makes you LIVE the music... that goes MIA on 99% of yootoob music videos. We get by on our remembrances of the feeling of the music at certain times in our lives-we relive it, with the musical triggers.

We forget that the music itself is sometimes the whole deal-that triggers the emotions. Musicians understand what I'm saying for the most part. (or understand that I'm trying to say something in that area of 'life') They play as it is a drug. And like a drug dealer, They consume their own product that they sell, as a way of getting by.

[9eagle9]

Oh I know those times. Less and less frequently now but when I feel it coming on I hit the bricks. Goodbye world, turn off the phone, eat a pizza, cry at movies that don't require crying, eat a carton of the physical representation of the abatement of depression...I Scream. Self medication for sure. And then it's all released until the next layer comes up...lol. there's never a layer of crap I hit that induced me to eat Brussell's sprouts.

That's where our storty making comes from , instead of getting into the feeling we make story to rationalize it when just need to let go of the feeling.

I commiserate with your flowers. My morning person is gone, although I'm still on her time. I don't get motivated to do anything until it starts getting twilight-ish out. ' Morning girl is infringing on Night girls down time...And Night girl won't get up at 5 am...so I'm sorta wondering how to straighten that out. I really don't want to get in between the two of them.

Whew! Vast difference. The opening notes of the first one did affect me like nails across a chalkboard as the lysergic acid kicks in. It was painfully obvious to my musical ears. Thanks for your phonic fidelity, friend.

Oh I know those times. Less and less frequently now but when I feel it coming on I hit the bricks. Goodbye world, turn off the phone, eat a pizza, cry at movies that don't require crying, eat a carton of the physical representation of the abatement of depression...I Scream. Self medication for sure. And then it's all released until the next layer comes up...lol. there's never a layer of crap I hit that induced me to eat Brussell's sprouts.

That's where our storty making comes from , instead of getting into the feeling we make story to rationalize it when just need to let go of the feeling.

' Morning girl is infringing on Night girls down time...And Night girl won't get up at 5 am...so I'm sorta wondering how to straighten that out. I really don't want to get in between the two of them.



I don't have to get up at 5AM, I am already up most nights. There is something sane, for me, about someone always being awake in a household. I enjoy sleeping knowing another is stirring and managing any incoming.

(or understand that I'm trying to say something in that area of 'life') They play as it is a drug. And like a drug dealer, They consume their own product that they sell, as a way of getting by.

The music 'speaks'...sometimes of wondrous things, sometimes of memories, sometimes of things we are not consciously aware of. It has a way of heading straight for a place within where hidden emotions lie...allowing release and healing in both the one who plays the music and the one who 'hears'.

I honestly believe music chooses you, you don't choose music. It's not a life for the faint-hearted, and I think someone would have to be half crazy to choose life as a musician. It's a life of service...you 'work' so others can play, grieve, laugh, pray, love, etc. But in the 'working', you share your deepest self, deepest joys, deepest sorrows...cathartic.

When I play, I am the music...the drug and the drugged, to use your example...and I know I need it more than it needs me.

OK, now for what seems like a daily event for me. Posting something for your aural interest. Todays feature is a 14 minute long recording of the night, in the forest, outside my tent. It was probably in August, but it was Summer, Deep Summer, when the World is wide awake and Nature screams in ecstasy. At least the night insects do. Turning this one up really recreates the environment. Enjoy.

When the world burns in the fire of industry? I leave upstairs from it from 7 am till about 12 noon. In all other respects its just referred to as the man cave. But ...Then the Shire returns for lunch, sometimes before that at second breakfast or elvensies if I'm lucky. I can't complain too much because the Orcs will at least make repairs around here.

But .. If the fire of industry started burning after sunset, I turn into Sauron. And not the way he was supposed to be either.

I will start a discussion on Lemuria/Atlantis. Whether, or where, they were is not important to me, it is the cultural or essence of these ideas that intrigues me. I do not see the two cultures as mutually exclusive but as two timelines of our soulstream that met, with one feeding, and the other dominating. I do see a healthy synthesis as the optimal fruit of these forays into ways to do the 'meat dance'.

I do feel more at home with a Lemurian approach to living on the planet. Very close to Nature and in complete partnership with devas, nature spirits and elementals. An existence based on creation rather than accomplishment. The former always leads to the latter in an organic fashion. Of course the terms are different. A tree constantly creates itself, but organic accomplishment has no defined moment, no 'voila'!

I will finish this piece here, to add more later. The Atlantean piece most likely. . I hope a campfire of ideas and impressions will arise, or not, if the topic finds any interested. Ignoring it will not offend me.

Even stranger things have been found in digital media.

We are on high wind alert -having cold Sana Anas.

Really feeling it okay so I'm a mess; reached a plateau about 2 mos ago. Before, for about a year & half it was like Satan had unleashed his lot -looked like night of the living dead in my front yard literally -in the raw so dealing with it on the micro and macro.

Had a dream recently where my higher nature was taking over -it gave me a rather large peice of shard placed in my left hand of something ancient so it is a beginning.... sometimes feel like a late bloomer but maybe I am right on time.

Whether you guys know it or not you have walked me through a lot of it.

I am interested :) From my rather restricted viewpoint, I would agree that the differences were marginal (avoiding nit-picking), akin to today's timeline. Polarity & duality. Whichever way the landscape tilts, dictates the fate. We are there....
The memes of STS and STO's of late, has left the impression that rather than aspiring to living a Lemurian or Antlantean essence, we should focus our intention on feeding the good wolf in us.

The Ocean one is one of my favorites, I am slowly creating a compendium of Nature sounds. I have to catch a stream when I get back to the tent.
The Atlantis/Lemuria thing was just following up on some thoughts in posts from the thread. My ever growing relationship with Gaia has been evoking some Lemurian memories. The trance like life was very timeless and was one of the reasons for living so long then. Even our cells didn't experience any sort of time. Life with out 'deadlines'. What's in a word, eh?

Since I have an 8 birth path an octagon, just a one room one, is something I would like to build. Being a 2/6 eight, a hexagon would work well too. Then I could rezzonate with my bee buddies.

How about getting a consensus first? Or at least a majority vote?
Let's see if all the Villagers want to look at a twenty year-old, partially faded picture of your nylon jacketed Halloween costume.
One way to go about this is to ask Paul to first give all members the option to choose different avatars for different threads.
That way you can appropriately reserve the most Here and Now avatar for the Here and Now Village.
Your scary face pictures can then be used on those threads where they can do the intended harm.

When they need me, I am there because there is no more important job for me at that moment. And in those moments, I connect heart to heart, soul to soul. When I do that, Spirit communicates through me. I don't mean that literally, like I don't know how to channel as some people do. But somehow I connect with Spirit, with the Wholeness, and the feelings and love therein.

There is no more important job, period. In my reading I've heard described planets where on a world wide basis, all monies are prioritized to the children, to the next generation. It is assumed the incoming generation is more evolved than the previous. It is assumed that your children are vibrating at a higher level than your generation. It is assumed the children *are* the treasure of the world and the *reason* to be there. The schools get the best equipment, the children get the best teachers and minds to work with, the community is focused on what will give the children what they need in life.

Can you imagine what a village on their planet must look like? How safe they must feel? What a community, a world, designed around the needs of children would look and feel like?

I can just hear the laughter and love. :) 1inMany, you are wonderful and awesome. :hug:

I feel it is time for me to post another song from a band I was in. Oedipus next again, live at The Tinker Street Cafe in Woodstock, NY.
The song, "Semiotic Lobotomy", written by Darren the singer/guitarist examines the life of the very wealthy, of which he was one. One of the things money can't buy is meaning. Unsurprisingly, there are those who find life without meaning not worth living.

This song proceeds very spaciously for the sung part and then goes for a ride at the end. I hope you will enjoy it.

Ah Sierra, my daughter is everything to me - and I wish I could be with her always but, alas, such is not the way of this world. No community to speak of. In fact I have found more community spirit in the most run down areas, the worst economically challenged individuals and families than in any suburb or upscale neighborhood I've ever lived in. I'd say more but why?

I worked all day at my ex's house (she's moving in with her 94 year old dad to help out) with her and her brother Ross. Got a lot done (basically rewiring the entire second floor of house).

Last nite was my sister Mary's fiftieth birthday surprise party. The family was there and a lot of Mary's friends and one-time-coworkers and such. We danced and laughed and goofed off - it was great. We did the Karaoke thingie. I've never done that before. The song I picked was Far Away by Nickelback, I sing along to that all the time, but I botched it real bad. I couldn't hear myself so I constantly went off key. And the words I thought were part of the song weren't so I kept stumbling on the words.
I wouldn't have tried again, not being one to make a fool out of myself wittingly. But my ex was a show-stopper. She nailed a number of songs and people were cheering her. So I tried again with Lager and Ale (after two rye and gingers) by Kim Mitchel. Yup! People stopped what they were doing to listen. After someone said I must have been practicing that song in front of a mirror it was so good. I was flattered.
And then Gay (my ex) and I finished the nite with this tune together - me trying to drawl like old Satchmo (is that his nickname?). It, too, was a hit. It was a really fun night.
So, I leave you (for now) with that song:

I wouldn't have tried again, not being one to make a fool out of myself wittingly. But my ex was a show-stopper. She nailed a number of songs and people were cheering her. So I tried again with Lager and Ale (after two rye and gingers) by Kim Mitchel. Yup! People stopped what they were doing to listen. After someone said I must have been practicing that song in front of a mirror it was so good. I was flattered.
And then Gay (my ex) and I finished the nite with this tune together - me trying to drawl like old Satchmo (is that his nickname?). It, too, was a hit. It was a really fun night.
So, I leave you (for now) with that song:

Sorry, Carmody, did not vet for dithering quality.hehe

Thanks, Ernie. :)

I'm glad you have fun on the birhtday party. You deserve it.

Love and Respect, Daniel.

Modwiz, how do you record the sounds?. Do you use a microphone and a recorder?

Your recordings should be listened loud and with good speakears. You're right. :)

I remember, when i was a kid, recording the fire with "crumpling cellophane paper", or a storm, blowing on the micro, and making "radio movies" only with me, imitating different voices.
ha, ha... and first rule "prohibited bringing a magnet near the magnetic tape".
The magic of the tape reels, the color of the tape (brown at the beginning -Fe Iron- and at the end black - Cr Chrome-)..has vanished. I grew up with BASF all around.... and Sinatra. My mother cried when he died.

Anyway!, thanks for the recordings and post more Atlantean "visions".:wizard: NOW!

Spain in the fifties . A country shattered by a civil war. All the culture emigrated to America (north, central, south), and the intelligence too.
The images speaks for themselves.




http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj4mLg995Mo

My grandmother, her name was America, told me many times how people starved.
As a child, i was waiting for a new war with fear. I remember calculating... "from WWI to WWII ..... so WWIII it's about to begin".

...well, there is a saying "Spain is Ireland with sun".

Record the sound of the Sun, please Modwiz :)

What do you think of this one. This was a Halloween face I painted on about 20 years ago. I was thinking of using a new avatar.

WHAT???
And have all the regular Villagers have to stare into the face of the grim reaper on every page?
How about getting a consensus first? Or at least a majority vote?
Let's see if all the Villagers want to look at a twenty year-old, partially faded picture of your nylon jacketed Halloween costume.
One way to go about this is to ask Paul to first give all members the option to choose different avatars for different threads.
That way you can appropriately reserve the most Here and Now avatar for the Here and Now Village.
Your scary face pictures can then be used on those threads where they can do the intended harm.

I was inspired to use that avatar based on a description of my character by a revered Avalonian, one especially dear to you, Ulli. After a rest period. it appears that sleep was required and my mood was unbalanced. BTW, the pic is 20 years old, I was almost 40 there. I will not be using it, or even considering it now, for an avatar.

I use this USB microphone and a free recording software called Audacity. I am working on making a new recording today with my acoustic guitar. A song I wrote when I was 17, with the working title, "The Ride of Gandalf and Shadowfax". I'll put it up when I do it.

Ah Sierra, my daughter is everything to me - and I wish I could be with her always but, alas, such is not the way of this world. No community to speak of. In fact I have found more community spirit in the most run down areas, the worst economically challenged individuals and families than in any suburb or upscale neighborhood I've ever lived in. I'd say more but why?

I lived in East Palo Alto at the time it was being called the murder capital of the U.S. Loveliest neighbors I've ever known.

Sideously ... truth be told ... it would be my wife that deserves the nod in that with the kind (and number) of hours I work she gets "family time" on a more regular basis than I. At least for the last 5 years ...

Did not marry until age 40 and for many years did not expect to go the parent route but I am very happy I did. Takes a lot of sacrifice but the rewards are such that only those who have been there can understand.

Here and now I am on Page 396, this thread moves too fast. I may need to jump a time-line or something.

Just got done watching the Pleiadiean video that DKJP put up earlier. I watched it with Mrs Anchor. Great discussion, cup of tea, lunch on the way - then its time to go and mend some broken things and paint some stuff.

The High wind advisory is over -geesh 5 days of it and intense sun, everything is static and the amount of positive ions in the air is probably off the chart. Could do with a little of your rain Astrid or a good thunder storm. Good time for a sea salt bath.

Yesterday was emotionally intense, feelings coming through and out in waves; a couple of weeks ago fear energy raising up and out -uncovering layers. Still feeling it just not as intensely. Moving through it and working towards a fast and hopefully into monatomics -have been reading a lot about it and it's definitely not something to do if one isn't ready..... or if you don't know what your are doing, but there are a lot of health benefits to it too. I studied Tibetan Buddhism for 5 years and worked with 2 Tibetan traditional doctors (for 3 yrs)n -different lineage than I studied. But as for the similarities between monatomics and the Tibetan herbs and medicine -they are very parallel.

Modwiz, I have dreams about LeMu, Atlantus and have awake remembrances of both and soul memories of the Middle East. Life here on earth now feels strange and is strange to me. Almost seems like a backwards and dark energy time line of sorts. If I am not careful very easy for me to step into the different times lines or end up off planet on another planet. I am here and now.....

Also have been reading about the pyramids and the beams of light that shoot out or into them. Just want to make a note about the lightning -the mesas in the SouthWest have extreme lightening storms.... and also with certain kinds of trees.... water trees can attain the same kinds of results as some of the pyramids do in regards to the beams of light. May be other kinds of trees do too but I don't know?

Here and Now...spent all weekend cleaning the "new" house. Have hours of cleaning yet to go. Hubby mentioned never having seen such a filthy person, and I concur. Moving furniture next weekend, so getting the most urgent done first...both of us exhausted, and all 3 mostly grown kids, too. Nothing like a day of physically tiring work and country air to pucker one out. Getting very excited to get this move done. Our family has connected and laughed more in the past couple of days than the last couple of months combined. Loving that!

About that whole yard dog thing...I think we've decided the one we just inherited is plenty. People in the country really, really are different about their pets...Zeek is a short and squatty, muscular black pitbull-I can't decide if he's a mix or not. He has an odd shape. I feel he is an old man. He is the friendliest danged dog I've ever seen...follows my kids, and my 3 yr old grandson, absolutely everywhere...we can barely keep him out of the house. And the dammed dog acts like he's flat out ignorant...doesn't understand no or go home or sit. All words translate to "come here, you sweet thing" before they reach his brain. It took 2 of us to push him off the porch today when we were trying to powerwash it. Heavy little bugger. *sigh* guess we'll be sneaking bones and table scraps outside... All this and he supposedly belongs to the next door neighbors. Well, lol, we only have two anyway so either the next door or across the street neighbors. Could have fooled me though, I think anyone who would have seen us today would swear he's our dog. Funny, I never get to pick a dog...they always do the picking. But that stinker is going to have to learn "go home"...or maybe at least "no."

Met the horses next door. Oh, but they are beautiful. I don't know what kind they are, but I know we will all be fast friends as my kids fed them a whole bag of carrots today...and to hear to hooves as they trot in from the distance...it's lovely.

It is so peaceful there...I feel grateful to have this within my reach...

Much Love,

[markoid]

Wading my way through a bunch of shadow work. Everything from road rage to self sabotage. Things are moving and integrating faster than ever before for me doing this sort of processing. I put it down to my willingness to enter into it these days, to the potency of the energetics rushing around and through us in these potent times, and to the quality of the company I keep (if only in lurk mode:) in this here village and the spaces and placed that are explored herein. I feel more alienated from the folks I generally spend time around and find little interest in about 80% of the conversations I end up in and yet more contentedly independent. Have also had some times when it felt that I may just blow into pieces as the glue that holds my ego together comes unstuck. I have lived in the same town for about 30 yrs. It used to be a small fishing/surf/hippie town when I first settled here, but has turned into a yuppie/consumer/suck the money out of your pockets tourist town... and I suspect a geographical change of venue is on the horizon.
I had a break from all the intensity yesterday and fired up the 'puter to do some artwork... a mandala of sorts

New studies reveal caffeinated coffee protects against Alzheimer's, diabetes, depression and prostate cancer

Monday, January 09, 2012 by: JB Bardot

(NaturalNews) Recent research suggests that drinking caffeinated coffee daily may protect against developing Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, depression and more, according to reports from Science Daily. Animal studies at the University of Florida discovered an ingredient in coffee that interacts with caffeine and increases blood levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), a growth factor that that prevents the production of beta amyloid plaques, which are thought to be the causative factor in Alzheimer's disease. Researchers reported that daily consumption of caffeniated coffee by middle-aged and elderly individuals markedly lessens the risk of developing the disease.


Alzheimer's and coffee

Treatment with caffeinated coffee increases memory capacity in Alzheimer's mice. The animals were treated with drip coffee and at the time of this article, scientists are unsure of the effects of instant coffee on the brain. Similar positive results were not evident in those mice treated with decaffeainated coffee or caffeine in other forms. Although testing was completed on mice, researchers have soon-to-be-released clinical evidence indicating coffee's ability to protect humans against the ravages of Alzheimer's disease.

It appears that four to five cups of caffeinated coffee daily are necessary to produce the increase in GCSF and protect against Alzheimer's. This amount may seem high for the average American coffee drinker, who consumes approximately 1.5 to 2 cups daily. Researchers suggest that using coffee to protect against Alzheimer's should start in early middle-age, between 30-50 years old; however, older people are also likely to benefit from consuming caffeinated coffee daily.


Additional benefits from coffee

Coffee is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, which provide the body with additional ingredients to increase cognitive function to protect the brain; as well as protect against other diseases of aging, such as Type II diabetes, depression, stroke, and Parkinson's. Studies also suggest coffee may help fight against breast, skin and prostate cancer.

Reports in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry discusses the effects of caffeine in coffee regarding the prevention of Type II diabetes. Animal studies were performed on mice, which showed that caffeinated coffee helped control blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity, lowering the risk of developing the disease. Coffee also triggered other beneficial changes in their bodies, further reducing the risk of diabetes. Researchers believe that it is the caffeine in coffee that acts as an anti-diabetic compound.

Drinking two to three cups of caffeinated coffee daily may also lower the risk of depression in women by 15%, according to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine -- and those who consume four or more cups daily have shown an even greater reduction in their risk of developing depression. Caffeine affects brain chemicals and is known to release mood-altering transmitters.

Additional studies at the Harvard School of Public Health indicated that men who drink six cups of coffee daily have a 20 to 60 percent decreased risk of developing several forms of prostate cancer. The study was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, and indicated that even small quantities of coffee consumption can lower the risk of prostate cancer.

Many people are sensitive to the effects of caffeine, becoming nervous, jittery or unable to sleep. As with all good things, moderation is advised. Before introducing caffeinated coffee to your diet or greatly increasing existing quantities, consult a health care practitioner for the sake of your own health safety.

Well Calz and Astrid...I drank more coffee than usual on my road trip of family and friend re-connections and forgot my itinerary...
it worked out sooooooo well that way : ) : ) : )


...oh and Meeradas too, and whoever else is/was in on the java jive!

Oh heck...ALL You Here and Nowers are included in my posts...You already know that : )

[ulli]

Modwiz, I have dreams about LeMu, Atlantus and have awake remembrances of both and soul memories of the Middle East. Life here on earth now feels strange and is strange to me. Almost seems like a backwards and dark energy time line of sorts. If I am not careful very easy for me to step into the different times lines or end up off planet on another planet. I am here and now.....

Also have been reading about the pyramids and the beams of light that shoot out or into them. Just want to make a note about the lightning -the mesas in the SouthWest have extreme lightening storms.... and also with certain kinds of trees.... water trees can attain the same kinds of results as some of the pyramids do in regards to the beams of light. May be other kinds of trees do too but I don't know?

Love

Nora

we are all related

The first thing that stood out:
About life feeling strange...I have that same feeling. But is that not an inevitable result of having been shifted into some kind of newness? Like getting a brandnew computer, but not quite sure yet how the keyboard functions?
When the new powers are given to us the next step is finding the vision...where to go from here, what to explore, what's next?? Big questions.

The other thought was about those pyramids and the beams of energy...
Since I myself once used to own a pyramid under which I did my studies I can testify to my own energy level increasing during that time...I hardly needed more than three to four hours sleep a night.
So I believe that energy flow goes into the pyramid, not out. But perhaps the scientists here can correct me if I'm wrong.

Is that how Gaia got into the globe?

OK Here and Nowers... all caught up : ) Good Vibes, Man!!!

Having a great few days, one more stop to make just north of Boston and then back to the Cape...at my Native American Friends in Uxbridge right now, sunrise sun glowing through the windows. Bear's wife Carol is the creator of 'Spirit of Change' magazine that has been around for over 20 years and has been online now for a couple years. She has put endless energy into this...it was her calling that she never stopped listening to and going with. They are my dearest Friends!
My re-connections have been a very good thing and as I stated earlier I have an awesomely loving family. We shared stories one on one and together the past few days...my brothers and sisters and in-laws and friends are the types of people that have given of themselves to the nurturing of their children above and beyond 'the call of duty'...a term that seems to be coming up alot lately with the workings of those in my life. I had a message to pass on...they have lived their responsibilities in the utmost and they are feeling these changes and are going to be guiding lights in these times...and they are listening and doing in their own ways. It was important for me to simply suggest that they listen and act for themselves with less questioning and hesitation now...as in a personal priority listening...and maybe a bit of lesser concern of having 'all the ducks in a row' and a bit more of taking the next steps for what it is they 'feel' the want to do for themselves now. It has been interesting and uplifting. I'll share more when I get back home...but just wanted to say that we are on our way, this is a time of love and listening and acting as never before...in a sovereign personal way.

In this case the leading investors being Costa Rican coffee farmers?
Anyway, whateva!
This morning I asked my husband to ask every diabetes, prostate cancer, and drepressed patient if they are coffee drinkers and how many spoons they do per cup. Forget about the Alzheimer crowd...how would they even remember...

[Belle]

It always amazes me how quickly this thread moves...and how long it takes to catch up!

Long two days this past weekend. It felt like everyone around me was losing it big time...lots of anger, frustration and intense emotion over what appeared to me to be minor things. Found my center and stayed there...eye of the hurricane. Funny thing, though...the calmer I became, the more intense the emotions around me seemed to become.

Can you smell the freshly ground coffee brewing? Mmmmm, smells so good. Thinking about having breakfast outside on the deck...even tho' it's only 31 degrees F, the sun is shining so brightly it warms me inside. Heirloom oranges and fresh homemade yoghurt...breakfast of champions.

Here is something for our newcomers:
(apart from the formal "welcome to the thread")

First there was UFO sightings, crop circles, missing memories, mutilated cattle, weird secretive government behavior, wars, famines, corruption....
Then came the Internet.
Text, then graphics, then photos, then you tubes, all along forums where sh!t was being discussed and argued about.
The art of the anonymous insult was developed.
Then came Project Avalon, and Bill Ryan's standards in civility made it to the Internet
with a 95% balanced moderator team.
And still, people were arguing about other people's speculations.
A need for reporting reality (never mind how mundane) arose and I was prompted to start this thread.

To begin with the early posters shared those (never mind how mundane) moments of their lives...
which resulted in the discovery that we all had more in common than expected.
and somehow an intimacy developed.
Intimacy means comfort, and comfort means warmth, and warmth means energy.

As this energy was being exchanged it grew and grew and people started to feel their own energy levels going up.

And this, my dear newcomers, is the point of this thread!

[1inMany]

Here and now...here I sit. In my sharing spot. Finally alone, phew. Having coffee, as I certainly would not want to get any of those icky ailments that coffee fends off.

Heater humming and sharing warmth, clock keeping 3D time. Hubby's computer monitor glowing, though he's off to work. Kids not up yet, dog not snoring yet. Not rushing out of the house yet...I hear the comfy, cozy bed whispering ever so slightly...come hither and enter the world of more sleep. Wondering which will win...caffeine or bed. That's a toughie...

No matter how engrossed I am in 3D activities, I still feel detached. I'm wondering if I have entered an unhealthy world of detachment or a spiritual world of calm. I can't say I really would like to feel more grounded if that means engrossed in the sludge. All the emotional upheaval of times past...somehow when I think of being more grounded that is what it seems like that would feel like. That's not real appealing lol.

I ventured into other threads again, glutton for punishment that I am lol. One thought led to another, and I ended up watching a short but potent vid. As I process that info, I am left wondering, as usual, if I should have watched it. I suppose I should have, since I did. I don't know if I can put this into words, but what I am wondering is who makes up the group of enlightened souls whose task it is to be the holders of the light for this day and age...the ones who have lovingly opted to simply contain and cement the light. Then, wondering about the convergence of all...the moment that all are awakened. That leads to the in-between. Looking at how many people have been enlightened for some time, like Modwiz or Ulli or Astrid, it would seem that we are in the last lunge towards humanity's next step in our evolutionary process. I'm wondering if I'm an in-between, or if I am a representative of those who are truly coming to terms with things at the last minute. I wonder because it would appear that last minute awakeners will have one helluva realization, albeit lasting a few hours or days or months. If this is the case, which seems like it might be, it appears that clearing their confusion would be their task. Whereas, those who have been enlightened for some time have probably become strong in an otherworldly sense and have a more defined role.

I think all of this comes, first, from the realization that my awakening began 6 years ago. This is a ginormous news flash for me, a true aha! moment. News flashes for me happen when there is one single aha! moment of explanation of a period of time in which an important aspect of my development thrust me forward but I have no idea of its existence ... until the aha! moment. I remember going to a therapist for one thing, and ending up crying for about a year because I found so much sadness. I don't have any sadness any more, so my aha! moment is that I was able to process so many -I don't know-lower? emotions...such an intense time that was. Shadow work...who'da thunk it?

All this 3D change, moving away from claustrophobia, makes the 3D me yearn and long for working in the forward direction instead of realizing things looking back.

Here and now...here I sit. In my sharing spot. Finally alone, phew. Having coffee, as I certainly would not want to get any of those icky ailments that coffee fends off.

Heater humming and sharing warmth, clock keeping 3D time. Hubby's computer monitor glowing, though he's off to work. Kids not up yet, dog not snoring yet. Not rushing out of the house yet...I hear the comfy, cozy bed whispering ever so slightly...come hither and enter the world of more sleep. Wondering which will win...caffeine or bed. That's a toughie...

No matter how engrossed I am in 3D activities, I still feel detached. I'm wondering if I have entered an unhealthy world of detachment or a spiritual world of calm. I can't say I really would like to feel more grounded if that means engrossed in the sludge. All the emotional upheaval of times past...somehow when I think of being more grounded that is what it seems like that would feel like. That's not real appealing lol.

I ventured into other threads again, glutton for punishment that I am lol. One thought led to another, and I ended up watching a short but potent vid. As I process that info, I am left wondering, as usual, if I should have watched it. I suppose I should have, since I did. I don't know if I can put this into words, but what I am wondering is who makes up the group of enlightened souls whose task it is to be the holders of the light for this day and age...the ones who have lovingly opted to simply contain and cement the light. Then, wondering about the convergence of all...the moment that all are awakened. That leads to the in-between. Looking at how many people have been enlightened for some time, like Modwiz or Ulli or Astrid, it would seem that we are in the last lunge towards humanity's next step in our evolutionary process. I'm wondering if I'm an in-between, or if I am a representative of those who are truly coming to terms with things at the last minute. I wonder because it would appear that last minute awakeners will have one helluva realization, albeit lasting a few hours or days or months. If this is the case, which seems like it might be, it appears that clearing their confusion would be their task. Whereas, those who have been enlightened for some time have probably become strong in an otherworldly sense and have a more defined role.

I think all of this comes, first, from the realization that my awakening began 6 years ago. This is a ginormous news flash for me, a true aha! moment. News flashes for me happen when there is one single aha! moment of explanation of a period of time in which an important aspect of my development thrust me forward but I have no idea of its existence ... until the aha! moment. I remember going to a therapist for one thing, and ending up crying for about a year because I found so much sadness. I don't have any sadness any more, so my aha! moment is that I was able to process so many -I don't know-lower? emotions...such an intense time that was. Shadow work...who'da thunk it?

All this 3D change, moving away from claustrophobia, makes the 3D me yearn and long for working in the forward direction instead of realizing things looking back. Wanting so desperately to do what I have been asked to do, or what I volunteered for, or...whatever I'm meant to do to evolve.

All my Love,

As you may remember I am Capricorn, your opposite sign.
The polarity between Cancer and Cap is to do with past and future.
Both have good memory recall, but where Cancer remembers the more pleasant aspects of the past and therefore loves to linger behind, capricorn remembers the painful past and therefore rushes forward, which explains their ambitious nature. Always trying to better their lives, for their loved ones.
Of course both Cap and Cancer visions are illusions.
The past is dead, whether pleasant or painful.
The future is imagination, whether catastrophic or utopian.
So the only time that is real is the Now, where even opposite signs can meet and get along.

[astrid]

and also....
How I see it this thread is a " what does it look like "
snap shot of day to day life when you start to live it,
incorporate and integrate all the changes, information
and energy that is the new paradigm, above and beyond
duality.
I knew something was missing on PA but I couldnt
figure out what until this thread was born . Sure there was
buckets of info but how do you use it and what does this new
reality look like ?? We needed to set an example of how we are
going to move forward, together and despite all the different
views, backgrounds, races .

That is my take on what this thread , this space has created .
it's a work in progress but one that is working and constantly
moving forward into new territory . And one that is not afraid
to do the hard work when it's needed and show gratitude when
it's called for, and with the greatest respect for the parts and the
whole alike .

[ViralSpiral]

Thanks for sharing 1inMany. I think the journey is different for each person however, I believe that once the anger, sadness and darkness of ignorance and recognition of the illusion is processed, some choose to deepen and others surrender. And I dont mean that negatively at all. This is when the mind becomes enlightened. The mundane becomes a chore and yet, it must be done. It is our nature to be free and yet we feel constricted by our mind. These constrictors of attachments, attitudes, bias, judgement etc., are self-imposed and actually are only that, in your mind. Being able to let go of those, frees you.
Whether we are pawns, puppets or experiments, we do have choices what to do within our constraints

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Modwiz, I have dreams about LeMu, Atlantus and have awake remembrances of both and soul memories of the Middle East. Life here on earth now feels strange and is strange to me. Almost seems like a backwards and dark energy time line of sorts. If I am not careful very easy for me to step into the different times lines or end up off planet on another planet. I am here and now.....

Also have been reading about the pyramids and the beams of light that shoot out or into them. Just want to make a note about the lightning -the mesas in the SouthWest have extreme lightening storms.... and also with certain kinds of trees.... water trees can attain the same kinds of results as some of the pyramids do in regards to the beams of light. May be other kinds of trees do too but I don't know?

Love

The first thing that stood out:
About life feeling strange...I have that same feeling. But is that not an inevitable result of having been shifted into some kind of newness? Like getting a brandnew computer, but not quite sure yet how the keyboard functions?
When the new powers are given to us the next step is finding the vision...where to go from here, what to explore, what's next?? Big questions.

The other thought was about those pyramids and the beams of energy...
Since I myself once used to own a pyramid under which I did my studies I can testify to my own energy level increasing during that time...I hardly needed more than three to four hours sleep a night.
So I believe that energy flow goes into the pyramid, not out. But perhaps the scientists here can correct me if I'm wrong.

One of my most favored meditations is to visualize a four-sided pyramid around me, and to possess the pyramid, or vice versa. Become the pyramid, in essence. I find directing my energy much easier and effective that way. After the meditation practice crystallizes, its easy to don the pyramid around you at any time, meditating or not.

As a capricorn I can say that though I sometimes can be very nostalgic about the past it is not very interesting. Mostly because I feel that I am getting better every day, and to develop is the best thing I know, the feeling of finally getting it! Growing, flowing.

Here and now I am in the warmth again, in south Portugal. Beautiful piece of land with fresh fruits from the trees, and sallad and vegetables directly from the garden. Fresh water from a well. Waking up with the sun, and much less milk/butter/cheese, and no more coffee for me. I feel great haha!

Still very close to free internet so i can check the forum at times :)

Blessings!

First you visualize the *truncated* pyramid, imagining the stone as the body, and you see the capstone as a smaller pyramid of white light above, and you see the capstone lower into place, whereupon the whole of the pyramid becomes infused with the light of the capstone.

after that the whole pyramid wil form spontaneously, without the initial steps. It's been a while since we were doing it with the first part, playdo.

And being told, then you will be alone.

And I said, I am willling to take that risk.

[Ernie Nemeth]

I would like to share what I did not say about that dinner party for my sister.
In her speech, she did not mention me at all. Actually neither did she mention our other sister or my mother so I shouldn't take offense.

For many years my sister loved me with the love of a little sister. She helped me when she could and I did what I could for her as well. We were not inseperable or anything like that but she was my first student of truth. But she never believed me and my theories and thoughts. We argued incessantly about the merits of this society (her), or lack thereof (me). She became to me the embodiment of all the evils of this world. She became the enemy.
Not long after that, we had a falling out and we drifted apart to where today I do not see her or talk to her except for Christmas and birthdays.

Her speech brought home to me the alienation I have had to endure at the hands of my family. I am not only the black sheep, I am the epitome of the reason to reject all conspiracy theories and accept all the rhetoric of those in authority. I was deemed the loser, a secret term not used in my presence but employed in every conversation I've ever had with them. I am not to be believed, I am not to be emulated, I am not to be accepted.

And this has brought to mind the idea of justice. I saw it mentioned, justice, either here or on Wade's thread, not sure. And I realized that a lot of my problems stem from a skewed view of what justice is - and how it comes about.

Justice is never personal. Not true justice, at least. If I have to uphold justice for myself then I can have no justice. I can only uphold justice for another. And to uphold justice means that I must act with integrity against injustice in any form. How do I know what justice I need or deserve unless another upholds it for me? In this world justice means what someone else has said on the subject. It is not "our" justice, it is someone else's. I know this becuase I have done nothing wrong, nothing different, all my years and find myself barely able to get by anymore. Why?
Because the justice you uphold for me allows for my predicament - it is even condoned, perhaps considered well deserved even.
But how can that be? I love, I laugh, I reach out, I care, I work hard, I'm intelligent, I'm passionate. Just exactly which activity, which personal quality deserves me to be denegrated and side-lined? Which horrible character trait deserves this sort of justice?

Now, take that personal bastardization of justice and apply it to the world in general. What child's justice deserves to be blown apart by bombs? Which mother derserves the justice of seeing their sons mutilated and murdered (inspired by today's "gotta see this vid", thread)? Where is the justice in this world? Why do I allow such atrocities? Why am I able to rant about freedom and FE and spirit and love and then stand aside and allow another's obvious lack of justice with such complacency? Or worse, with futile indignant outrage.

Where is the justice in this world, I ask you? Or, if I do not understand the term properly, maybe someone could enlighten me.

Odd night for me woke up around 4:00 am out of the void and out of a very deep sleep -a lot of light around me like rays of moonlight.

Thank goodness for coffee. This morning worked with a guy, who will not budge move or go within.....Ugh sometimes feel like I am failing him.....

All this 3D change, moving away from claustrophobia, makes the 3D me yearn and long for working in the forward direction instead of realizing things looking back. Wanting so desperately to do what I have been asked to do, or what I volunteered for, or...whatever I'm meant to do to evolve. I know that my most important role is being "Mama," as this new son lovingly calls me. But, that's not really what I mean. It's not my role, per se, that I want to know and be. It's who I am that I want to know and be. If I am to be honest with myself, there are far too many how-to's that resonate with me enough to send me off into the direction of each one.

From Chapter 1:

"We ask you to eradicate from your mind all notion of yourself that has to do with where you live,
where you were born, what you have done, and what your circumstances have been.
We ask you to concentrate on only one thing and that is the spirit within you.
This real you, this conscious hidden intelligence that exists behind your eyes, is
timeless, formless, and built from all the glory and magnificence that ever was. It is
not a name or a job or a home; indeed it has nothing to do with circumstance or
situation. The plain fact is that you exist. Dwell on that, nothing more.


I am.

Two more magnificent words were never put together. I am. This minute. This now.

Ernie, it sounds to me like you are speaking more about being judged by others. There is no justice in judgment...tho' some people believe they can justify their judgment against another. Does that make sense?

[9eagle9]

This reminded me of ...today...lol. My friend has a missing dog so I figured I'd take the long way home and yell for him and otherwise search for Elton as made my way back home.

First thing I see is a woman getting her garbage cans so I think I'm going to ask her if she's seen the dog. But I'm in my entirely disreputeable barn truck which is filth and hay rolling on 4 wheels. A more immediate problem occurs to me because....she's elderly. Before anything else, I ask her if she wants a hand with her garbage cans. So she grants me a nervous look , shakes her head, backing away and virtually rushes off staggering under the weight of her cans when I ask her if she's seen a little brown beagle. Can't help her, she can't help me. I am also very dis-reputeable looking as well, I don't do barn work in power suits and nylons.

Discouraged the next person I seen was a little boy. So I slowed down and realized...". Gee, do you think his parents will feel safe with you hanging out the door talking to him. Will he feel safe, with your messy head and unmade up face yelling over at him. No, I didn't even pause to ask him if he'd seen a small brown beagle.

And I thought, with all these conditions in place, how is it we are actually able to help each other.

"I am who I am...take it or leave it." I heard my Dad say those words for as long as I can remember. He walked through his life to the very end comfortable in his own skin, knowing who he was. He never made apologies for his appearance or his mannerisms, was never self-conscious or uncomfortable in any situation....and people didn't notice what he didn't pay attention to, they only responded to "him".

One of the biggest lessons in my life. I am.

[ulli]

Why am I able to rant about freedom and FE and spirit and love and then stand aside and allow another's obvious lack of justice with such complacency? Or worse, with futile indignant outrage.

Where is the justice in this world, I ask you? Or, if I do not understand the term properly, maybe someone could enlighten me.

Two good questions. But are you really asking, Ernie?
You want to know why do you rant? How about, because you permit yourself? And how about asking if your family feel like listening?
Where is the injustice? And I don't mean out there...we never have enough information to really judge..
but I mean, here and now? In your home. Which is all we can ever be looking at, if we want to be realistic.
Maybe you need to shift your perception of things a bit.
Have you really looked?
Personally, maybe I'm more like your sister, I see a bit of both, justice as well as injustice. And I'm not really sure about either, as there are always other hidden things, like Karma.
Right here, every Friday, people come and collect their wages. As agreed upon by both parties beforehand. Justice.

I can also see some who think they are being punished. Like the guy in the gate house...he is a binge drinker and last week his wife could not take his abusive behavior when he is drunk and so she finally moved out. Of course he doesn't remember what he did to her at those times and considers himself innocent.
He now feels she was treating him unfairly. Thinks she punished him.
But she just couldn't take him any more, so she did the one thing any normal person would do and moved into her comfort zone...nothing to do with punishment.
Justice is about reward and punishment, and both exist. Justice means balance and balance is visible when seen in a long-term context.

I believe you have a tendency to go into a distorted vision of the greater picture at times and then make your family members uncomfortable. And since you probably can't face that aspect of yourself they feel you might be a lost cause.

Shadow work means facing the stuff everyone else can see but oneself is in denial about.
Most people I have met have a really good opinion of themselves. They judge themselves by their intentions only, not their actions, facial expressions, rants, their lack of consideration towards others.
Yet everyone has the potential to get on someone else's nerves after a while and usually that is exactly what makes families move apart.
If they all focused on the Here and Now they'd be anchored in reality and families would get along the way they are meant to.

That is exactly what happened to me in 1988. My capstone came down to me and landed on my truncated pyramid. My life has never been the same since.

[Guest]

My family can stir up more in me than I care to admit. I don't play in their sandbox very often either.....
I do not have a very close relationship with my sister -I had to change directions with her
My father too, aunts, uncles and a couple of my grandparents.
They watch Fox news, TV programs......., talk loudly.....etc and do the racial slur thing too..... this is just some of the societal issue....
do I judge them? sometimes; do I wish they would at least try to change their proogramming? yes. If I wait around for acceptance or (agreements to my view points) from them I might turn into an old lady. I don't try to convince them of anything.... sometimes I have to go in through a side door or create a doorway..... just like in this thread it has created a lot of doorways for me.....
and my brother lost, in a psychotropic rabbit hole -brilliant mind and musician and he makes the most sense out of all them.... really.....I am probably the closest to him and don't talk to him very often....

I love them all very much -we're all on different planes.....

Quite a few years ago, I moved to the southern midwest of the states for a job. I was standing on a sidewalk outside of a cafe with a few of the local people.... and an elderly man walked inside, got a cup of coffee and came back outside and sat down at one of the tables. He seemed pretty harmless enough so I went over to talk with him. I was new to the area thought it would be good to socialize and get to know the area a little and the people. While I was standing there talking with the elderly gentlemen about the town and some of his life there, someone came over and grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the man and asked me what I was doing. I said what do you mean what I am doing? He said what are you doing talking to them kind? and said what do you mean them kind as I am looking around; looking for what he was talking about. So he pointed to the elderly man I was talking to. I finally figured out that he was referring to the man's ethnicity. My reply to him was, "Please forgive my ignorance, I am from California" and walked back over to the elderly man and sat down at his table. Had a great conversation.

I feel this can and will compliment anyone's shadow work or anyone that may still be wrestling with some things. Many things in this process may have already been worked out...but other things may still need some wrenching. Look it over...if there is a hmmm there, maybe give that particular hmmm a whirl with this process. And please simply overlook the drug and alcohol references...if you take a look.

Sorry, thought it was a point for discussion. Forgot where I am. Won't happen again, I can promise you.

[Cottage Rose]

I would like to share what I did not say about that dinner party for my sister.
In her speech, she did not mention me at all. Actually neither did she mention our other sister or my mother so I shouldn't take offense.

For many years my sister loved me with the love of a little sister. She helped me when she could and I did what I could for her as well. We were not inseperable or anything like that but she was my first student of truth. But she never believed me and my theories and thoughts. We argued incessantly about the merits of this society (her), or lack thereof (me). She became to me the embodiment of all the evils of this world. She became the enemy.
Not long after that, we had a falling out and we drifted apart to where today I do not see her or talk to her except for Christmas and birthdays.

Her speech brought home to me the alienation I have had to endure at the hands of my family. I am not only the black sheep, I am the epitome of the reason to reject all conspiracy theories and accept all the rhetoric of those in authority. I was deemed the loser, a secret term not used in my presence but employed in every conversation I've ever had with them. I am not to be believed, I am not to be emulated, I am not to be accepted.

And this has brought to mind the idea of justice. I saw it mentioned, justice, either here or on Wade's thread, not sure. And I realized that a lot of my problems stem from a skewed view of what justice is - and how it comes about.

Justice is never personal. Not true justice, at least. If I have to uphold justice for myself then I can have no justice. I can only uphold justice for another. And to uphold justice means that I must act with integrity against injustice in any form. How do I know what justice I need or deserve unless another upholds it for me? In this world justice means what someone else has said on the subject. It is not "our" justice, it is someone else's. I know this becuase I have done nothing wrong, nothing different, all my years and find myself barely able to get by anymore. Why?
Because the justice you uphold for me allows for my predicament - it is even condoned, perhaps considered well deserved even.
But how can that be? I love, I laugh, I reach out, I care, I work hard, I'm intelligent, I'm passionate. Just exactly which activity, which personal quality deserves me to be denegrated and side-lined? Which horrible character trait deserves this sort of justice?

Now, take that personal bastardization of justice and apply it to the world in general. What child's justice deserves to be blown apart by bombs? Which mother derserves the justice of seeing their sons mutilated and murdered (inspired by today's "gotta see this vid", thread)? Where is the justice in this world? Why do I allow such atrocities? Why am I able to rant about freedom and FE and spirit and love and then stand aside and allow another's obvious lack of justice with such complacency? Or worse, with futile indignant outrage.

Where is the justice in this world, I ask you? Or, if I do not understand the term properly, maybe someone could enlighten me.

I share your background and empathize, Ernie. In juxtaposition to a wave becoming a particle once it is measured: The "measurements" of family members, taken with their unique measuring devices can create a skewed version of one's self that is a lengthy struggle to overcome. Intense energy is required to replace their version with a new measurement based upon our own truth. Sometimes spending time with these family members serves only to reinforce the version of us they created, necessitating another energetic erasure process. After enough circular rounds, are we obligated to continue playing the game?

I now believe it acceptable to demand a certain level of coherence from individuals allowed within close proximity.

[9eagle9]

that's good. I have similar plan that is called 'the issue' and then it's opposite is the 'way out. '

I've noticed with myself and my own healing process that once you reach the tipping point there's a risk of become a pepetual self healer. It's like the person who stays in college until they are 40, because they can't align themselves with their knowledge to go put it to practical fullfillment and purpose. We learn to become accountants say, but we don't do that to do our own accounting. We do it to help others with their accounting.

We heal the wound and the thoughts and the feelings attached to it but we in error continue trying to heal the actual fact of the experience that put them there in the first place. And we can't and shouldn't make it go away (as if we could) because shapes us. There comes a point where we have give the whole thing up to our Source and havit e it transformed to where the experience is accepted as an essential part of ourselves without anything attached to it and transformed into how 'my experience can show other's how to facilitate this within themselves. '

I seems to me that someone stuck a 'kick me' sign on your back that you are unaware of. Everyone else, especially family, can see it very clearly though. They must have put it on you while you were too high to notice.

I'll trade you your day for mine. I have nobody I can tell about themselves, just anonymous punk(s) who skulk in the dark.

I had/have family members who gave me crap about who I was and how I conducted myself. I have not seen them for decades, on purpose. Wizzy don't play dat.

Hi Modwiz...we've all been turned into kitties I see. At least we can now meow in each other's language and no one but us will understand.

[astrid]

Ditto on the family stuff,
yet another reason for my online
persona.

It gives me the space i need away from others
that were sucking on my energy.

That and its another way of respecting another's rights to their take on things.
It's just not a reality i exist in anymore , nor have i energy for.
They have their space and i have mine.
And it's all good.

[Carmody]

Very much in a Neptunian place right now,
which is not surprising given more I'm in non- ordinary reality
these days. It's all good. Just kind of can't relate much right now
to the going ons in the ordinary one.

Now you know how I feel with my (finally understanding it) Neptunian shadow cast over my chart. Like the Rug the Dude had (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezQLP1dj_t8), 'it holds the room together'.

Thank you:love:

For me having peace in an unjust world is justice. Remaining myself in a family and world that does not want me to be who I am -is my justice. I have done a lot of de-programming within myself. The last paragraph of my above post is an example of that. I grew up in an area where I will just say were very heavy anti-race groups -most of them wore suits.... but I was the one who had to become aware of my programming and then do something about it. This is my justice. -I was 13 when I realized what was going on..... and got out as soon as I could.

[Carmody]

It always amazes me how quickly this thread moves...and how long it takes to catch up!

Long two days this past weekend. It felt like everyone around me was losing it big time...lots of anger, frustration and intense emotion over what appeared to me to be minor things. Found my center and stayed there...eye of the hurricane. Funny thing, though...the calmer I became, the more intense the emotions around me seemed to become.

Can you smell the freshly ground coffee brewing? Mmmmm, smells so good. Thinking about having breakfast outside on the deck...even tho' it's only 31 degrees F, the sun is shining so brightly it warms me inside. Heirloom oranges and fresh homemade yoghurt...breakfast of champions.

the most sobering thought concerning coffee is that it ended up being one of ~THE~ driving forces of 'Britannia'. ....the Gentleman's coffee houses where the trade and exploration/exploitation agreements happened.

ah, and
Lionel Richie reminded me of
this Stevie Wonder Video:
QwOU3bnuU0k

I always wondered... what is this thing that appears around 00:45??
The thing they use as a projection screen.
To me, it looks like a slice of wholewheat bread that's way too thick.
I always 'kind of hated' the director of that video for this...

About that wholewheat bread...I agree totally.
Bad art always has the same effect on me.
This is a good example of what happens when inspiration is blocked
due to excess fascination with the latest gimmicks and features that a new software provides.
Then added to that the deadlines these people have to work under....
typical unfinished video. My 2 centimos.

No matter how engrossed I am in 3D activities, I still feel detached. I'm wondering if I have entered an unhealthy world of detachment or a spiritual world of calm. I can't say I really would like to feel more grounded if that means engrossed in the sludge. All the emotional upheaval of times past...somehow when I think of being more grounded that is what it seems like that would feel like. That's not real appealing lol.


To me..being grounded might look a bit like dealing with all the 3d stuff without it dragging you down at all. No effort to slough it off is required,as it no longer has any effect upon one. Meaning, reactions are nearly non -existent. not in a forced way, but a natural way. figuring out how is key. peeling back one corner is the start but it is also 'the way'. So it is impossible, in some ways, to separate the journey there from the act of seeking it in a knowing/aware fashion.

[Carmody]

Odd night for me woke up around 4:00 am out of the void and out of a very deep sleep -a lot of light around me like rays of moonlight.

Thank goodness for coffee. This morning worked with a guy, who will not budge move or go within.....Ugh sometimes feel like I am failing him.....

Am going through the Lithium thread and grateful for Here and Now -and listening to this.

[Carmody]

My family can stir up more in me than I care to admit. I don't play in their sandbox very often either.....
I do not have a very close relationship with my sister -I had to change directions with her
My father too, aunts, uncles and a couple of my grandparents.
They watch Fox news, TV programs......., talk loudly.....etc and do the racial slur thing too..... this is just some of the societal issue....
do I judge them? sometimes; do I wish they would at least try to change their proogramming? yes. If I wait around for acceptance or (agreements to my view points) from them I might turn into an old lady. I don't try to convince them of anything.... sometimes I have to go in through a side door or create a doorway..... just like in this thread it has created a lot of doorways for me.....
and my brother lost, in a psychotropic rabbit hole -brilliant mind and musician and he makes the most sense out of all them.... really.....I am probably the closest to him and don't talk to him very often....

I love them all very much -we're all on different planes.....

Quite a few years ago, I moved to the southern midwest of the states for a job. I was standing on a sidewalk outside of a cafe with a few of the local people.... and an elderly man walked inside, got a cup of coffee and came back outside and sat down at one of the tables. He seemed pretty harmless enough so I went over to talk with him. I was new to the area thought it would be good to socialize and get to know the area a little and the people. While I was standing there talking with the elderly gentlemen about the town and some of his life there, someone came over and grabbed my arm and pulled me away from the man and asked me what I was doing. I said what do you mean what I am doing? He said what are you doing talking to them kind? and said what do you mean them kind as I am looking around; looking for what he was talking about. So he pointed to the elderly man I was talking to. I finally figured out that he was referring to the man's ethnicity. My reply to him was, "Please forgive my ignorance, I am from California" and walked back over to the elderly man and sat down at his table. Had a great conversation.

With a predominantly white background and from the North (limited ethnic types), I never encountered racism until I was....about 10 or maybe 11-12. I'd never heard of or understood the concept.

when I did, I was REALLY Po'd. And confused. I knew people were different yes, but mostly due to their upbringings, households, their way of life. Whatever. But to go after their...physical origins. Well. it was all very confusing, sad, and angering.

Changes in Avatars -pretty cute -I might change mine to an ocean wave in appreciation of Neptune.

Best be careful ... me thinks Our Village Plumber is a card carrying Union Member.

That might not go over very well ... :fear:

[9eagle9]

With family particularly siblings its basically you go through your process and recover from family abuse. Then your siblings don't, or are in denial about it or are not in denial but don't want to discuss it. This tends to disinvalidate all the hard work that one has to do on themselves to recover. It becomes like a living wall between you and your family , the literal elephant sitting in the room that you can see and they either, can't or wont. Or go to that place of "Yes I know there's an elephant in the room, I don't want to talk about it."

"It becomes like a living wall between you and your family "

Move that i had to built an entire house complete with a moat and army to
keep them out and allow me to do what I"m here to do.

Denial, yes but theses people are NUTS.
My Mother would send the police over if i didn't
answer her calls. It was beyond a joke.
I could not breathe.

Thank fully i learned how to deal with this,
but it took many many years.

The hard thing with dealing with people that are mentally
unwell is you can't play things straight, it doesn't work,
and you get tired in knots trying, or worse go crazy yourself.

You have to enter their world, and speak their language,
and use their " currencies" which at times
feels like you are lacking in integrity, and being untrue to yourself.
But when the prize is being free, the end does somewhat justify the means.
It's just unfortunate that at times there is no other way.

Upon reading the last few pages here I found that. And also found a mirror of my experiences with family and acceptance.

[1inMany]

Ya know, Ernie, I used to get angry and heartbroken at the injustice in the world. It started with my legal battle against the school district where I used to teach. It was eye-opening to me how wrong I was to say "They can't do that!" I said that about a lot of situations in life, but I had to replace it over night with the realization that they can, and they do, and in fact they get away with it. I applied that to tptw, but so many other situations, too.

Like a ding-dong, I got curious about that "everybody has to see this" thread, and I peeked. Oh, brother. I really did not need that at all. I don't know why I took the bait.

I have a huge family - huge. When I add up all the sisters, brothers, half-sisters and -brothers, step-sisters and -brothers...there are 10. Aunts, uncles and cousins...lost track to be honest. Nieces and nephews...same. None of them get me. Not one. That used to bother me so deeply it would keep me up at night, and wanting to be understood was a driving force behind the relationships I tried to maintain single-handedly.

I can say with 100% honesty and 100% certainty, that I don't give a rats azz what they think at this point. I am not bitter, not lonely, not angry, and not even bothered by it. I used to go to certain handpicked functions, and the funny thing is that I don't even want to any more. I have truly become that lady at the grocery store that hums the unidentifiable tune, lost in my own little world, content to be humming my own song-which, by the way, usually is a real song lol.

My heartfelt compassion to you, my friend. I may not know what you are going through, but I do know what emotional pain feels like...and anger at injustice...and wishing for one thing or another to be this way or that way. I hope everything gets resolved for you, and with as little emotional toil as possible.
