i've written some autobiographical short stories, never submitted for publication. just handed out to family and friends. typical writer insecurity.

I see. Well your style of writing here in the forum is quite accessible. If you write your prose like this then I'd say your voice was clear, concise and to the point. As they used to drill into us in grad school, you have to publish, Publish, PUBLISH! LOL

Get your stuff out there online, journals, even a blog. Get some "objective" feedback. Writer's groups are good also to get confidence up and also to get some good feedback on your work. I was in one for about 4 years when I was writing my first novel back in the late 90s. Gotta be careful though if you go that route, smaller groups are better than large ones. The big ones have "personalities" who will eat a body alive and spit out the bones after cracking them with their teeth for the marrow.

yeah, i don't really try to sound too literary here on the forum. i don't want to bore or lose readers - just communicate.

it's funny, i was just thinking of starting a blog when i read your post; i think that's the way to go. get some readers, feedback, etc...

is your first novel accessible via the net? if not, is there any other way to get a copy. would love to check it out.

I'm not writing my life story with the view to publish, but just to share with friends, and for my own healing process.
Don Juan Matus said that recapitulation of one's life story is a good practice.
I have found that when I write down what I remember about my past and look at it with fresh eyes, I often get a very different perspective.
When I revise what I think about my past, I am revising what I think about myself.
And I get new insights into people, events and relationships I have known.

i'm writing for many of the same reasons Onawah, but in my heart of hearts i'd like to write the next 'Slaughterhouse 5' or 'Under The Volcano'. i know this is pure ego, but don't i at least get points for being an honest egomaniac?;)

There is also that thing a good friend showed me, many years back. He said that it can't truly be real or even checked to see if it is real until it is spit out onto the floor between at least two people. Once it is out , between you, on the floor..then you can take sticks and poke at it, to inspect it for..whatever. Until then, it is just a thing in one's head. This is similar to the idea of the teacher being taught by the act of teaching.

One of the things I love about writing my life story and sharing it with friends is their amazement when they realize what they thought they knew about me was untrue, or my amazement when I realize how well they knew me after all.
We all have so many wonderful stories to share.
When I read a good book, it's like spending time with the very best part of that author's innermost being, drinking in the best that that person has distilled from their life experience.
Some fictional characters seem more real to me than actual people, and I feel as enriched by them as I do by real friends.
I don't think that books are going to become obsolete for a long time, at least, not as long as there people who love to read as much as I do.
Though telepathy is pretty wonderful too.

Not to mention movies. Not to change the subject, but I just watched Pride and Prejudice with Matthew Macfayden and Keira Knightly yet again, and was still captured in that world.
The great care that went into that film, with all the different historical homes it was shot in, is very impressive.
For me, another kind of therapy sometimes is escaping into a time when life was not quite so complex.

There was no dancing at the party. Nearly one hundred people and endless food and drink.
Like a large restaurant. I knew everyone there. Once I had stuffed myself I started missing the Villagers. Thank God for civilized homes with wireless routers.
Even though I didn't fire off any unforgettable posts at least I could do my little thank you ritual and LOLs at Modwiz' and Carmody's humor.
Back home now, and on the news are more reports of weird noises which disturbed people's slumber. Family members heard it, too, they were talking about it at the party today....must be the Turrialba volcano which is waking up.

It really is. At first the blog will be small but if you publish there weekly it will grow relatively quickly. And as people post your links on their blogs and elsewhere Google and its subsidiary search engines will become your friend. :thumb:


is your first novel accessible via the net? if not, is there any other way to get a copy. would love to check it out.

It actually is. It's called "Temple of the Sky" by Rahkyt. You can actually search it and find it on all kinds of websites all around the world. It's been up there for years, but since I no longer have a relationship with that publishing company nobody who orders it ever gets it and the websites won't take it down.

So I put it up in electronic form a couple years ago at lulu dot com (http://www.lulu.com/product/file-download/temple-of-the-sky/5472162?productTrackingContext=search_results/search_shelf/center/1). I've actually been thinking about breaking it down into 3 books (it's 500 pages long or thereabouts) and formatting it for kindle and the other e-readers and selling it for about $5 or $6 a piece. I'm still going to do that but I'll leave this link for all my good friends here at PA.

This morning he ate all his breakfast, thankfully
and was doing fine, It's been pretty hot here, so
i'm sure that was part of it. That an being in a new place.
Now i have to decide my next step,
the circle we formed is talking about trying to
get the numbers together to do more advanced
training locally, but that might take a while to
organize.
Meanwhile there is an 8 day advanced in
April- May, already planed, different state,
but at least i keep the momentum going.
And i can always hook into the local group
if it happens for extra practice.
It would be nice to go up with the same group,
but then i need the people exposure, so "nice" is not really the aim here.
Growth is.

Off line time for me. I did a substantial post over at the BB latest reviews thread. I took some time to explain where my critical stance came from. As anyone here knows, my tongue is very often in my cheek even when addressing real subjects. My post addressed some words that Carmody expressed. My post had him more in mind than many. It had a little to do with me liking and respecting him despite/because of his uniqueness. :p

I might come back tomorrow. Love to all. No exceptions.

When I read "musically mastered in the ether", I thought you meant the strange noises being heard. Now they are nearer to my area but so far I haven't heard them. Last night I thought I did but my husband just said was the late night flight to Panama I was hearing.
I will be giving updates here. Thia all reminds me of the crop circles which used to be simple circles and became more and more complex with time. Could it be humanity evolving that is creating it?

This Village is definitely becoming more and more like an artist's colony..the contributions lately have been outstanding. All of us are writers, writing the Village Book. It will be greater than the Hobbit when done because we weave finer threads into the fabric than Tolkien did. There will be no wars, nor clashes. Just lots of love and light.

In Europe the winter started out quite mild which made me think that my earlier fears about the Gulf Stream having been affected by the BP oil disaster were unfounded. Europe wouldn't exist if it weren't for the Gulf Stream sending warm tropical waters up north.
Now I'm not so sure. People are freezing to death. We do need to do something to heat things up. Music is one way.
I was thinking more in terms of dowsing maps for hot spots that could then warm the air from underneath.
And I don't mean volcanic eruptions. Maybe just visualizing warm tones, like yellows and oranges all over the coldest regions and holding that vision in our minds, like a summery weather forecast map. In Costa Rica the weather is behaving itself, nothing unexpected is occurring. (Except for the strange sounds in the atmosphere)
But I would like to hear from others about their areas.

The weather here in Wales seems to go from mild to freezing in days. Back and forth it goes. I can still smell spring in the air, but that could be wishful thinking! But we dont seem to have as much rain as when I was a kid here anymore. I think were getting our fair share of sunshiney days now, but others here may not agree! Wales has a reputation for the rain. Still, it's the rains that keep it a green and pleasant land I guess. But the weather has definately changed in recent years.

I used to visit Snowdonia a lot and it was damp and cold and rainy.
Would you say the temperatures have dropped?

I decided to look at some temperature maps and according to this one I don't see anything unusual...it is February, after all and the Gulf Stream is still doing it's job...even Iceland looks temperate.

Shwmae

When a bbc weatherman mentioned that Cymru is milder & dryer & especially in Augest, I pointed out that he was mistaken for my area & other areas in Cymru were in fact freezing & the rain was practically continuous on a daily bases & everything was soaking & IF the sun does come out, so do the Chemtrail sprayers. His abrupt excuse was its regional. It would appear that the weather to the east of me is different to the rest of the country. Droughts in england & soaking in parts of Cymru. [Chemtails]?

Here and Now...first post from the country. Woohoo...

Weatherwise, you all have heard me speak of warmer than usual temps. During the summer I can't remember if we set a record, but I know it was close if we did not. Many days of 110 degree range, whereas usually none. It was running 5-10 degrees hotter than usual, and a longer warm spell...from about April to November. From November to February, it usually gets cold but not like the northern states. It has been more than 10 degrees warmer than usual, and only rain. Dallas area usually gets probably 3 good icy rain storms that freeze the roads for a day or two, then poof!-gone. It usually snows one day a year, gone the next day. Neither happened this year. 2 years ago we got record snow, it was like 3-4 inches. Nothing at all this year. Very odd I have noticed.

So how did you sleep? What was it like to wake up in your new home? You'll be pottering about, no doubt, unpacking boxes and putting stuff away? I always left the pictures till last; they were the hardest to accommodate.

Meanwhile, my own Here and Now is wondering about those noises...having heard many first-hand accounts yesterday I know that prank Youtubes can be ruled out.
There was a six-month gap between seeing the first Youtube (google on YouTube: 'strange sounds #3') and finding out that some of these accounts are indeed genuine experiences. Meanwhile there were several decades between hearing other people's UFO sightings, and having my own. It does give you a jolt when it gets closer to home.

Now it's about more dot connecting. Sacred geometry, ever evolving crop circles, spinning chakras, spiraling planets, more inner balancing. Generating high quality fairy dust.
Today Bill Wood is less of a mystery than before. On that sex offender site where they had his mugshot displayed they gave his birthday, (Scorpio) and I had a look at his chart which reveals much if you know what you are looking for.
His body builder girlfriend had "complicated" under relationships, and lately it says "single". Having had a Scorpio husband before I would say the same if I hadn't found myself a kind and loving Sagittarian.

Is that really what it sounds like? If you read the "sounds from all over world " thread, you will see that the original videos' sound was used in all the debunked ones. This one does sound "original" though.

You are right, all is well in our little village, most days. Sometimes we stumble, and our knickers show ;)
There are good people here, who will help put plasters on the knees.

Next time you come to Barbados I will take you to Polo. The heat makes them fly.

Off line time for me. I did a substantial post over at the BB latest reviews thread. I took some time to explain where my critical stance came from. As anyone here knows, my tongue is very often in my cheek even when addressing real subjects. My post addressed some words that Carmody expressed. My post had him more in mind than many. It had a little to do with me liking and respecting him despite/because of his uniqueness. :p

I might come back tomorrow. Love to all. No exceptions.

I have not gone to look at the fallout from my posts there -all two of them.

I went out on a calculated limb of appearance of anger and similar..in order to cut the coming slams and derision, to nip any building rides to the 2001:space odyssey 'water war beating pond (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wstIBq2H0z8)' to a minimum..or to raise the subject as a mirror, by being out of my usual zone.

What a lot of people don't consider in their posting as they block it from themselves..is that all ideas on reality have to change, and in order for this to work, it has to be the internal ones first, in toto.

For example, Ulli, in order for us to have the benefits of free energy..the man who came after your husband with a machete..that simply has no room to exist. the Superbowl is gone. Pornography is gone. (all those 'overt' womens magazines and guy magazines, they are gone) War is gone. Hockey is gone. Guns are gone. road rage is gone. Being angry at your partner or children is gone.Your child's inner angers and angst when growing up is gone. Inner confusion is gone. drinking until drunk at bars is gone. seductive advertizing (basically all television as you know it) is gone. Insiders in the government is gone. 90% of the reasons for the current western and most governments to exist...are gone. lawyers are gone. Likewise, when someone close to you dies and you have strong breakdown emotions about it, that's gone too. Insane work ethics of extreme work and pressure from externally or from the self, that is gone. Prisons are gone as the people in them aren't wired that way anymore..as the conditions that put them there, including the ones in their own mind and wiring simply don't exist anymore.

There are a few ways that this can be done. (not a perfect list, by any means)

one, is to have every person take care of their own psychosis on the nature of the self and reality, in total and in completeness. To completely reform their minds from the inside.

two, to have it enforced as a singular moment that overcomes/becomes all humankind in a single event.

three, to turn the planet individually and collectively, for a time..into a giant Orwellian controlled prison planet (which it sort of is now) until the moment of growth (physiologically and psychologically-as the genetic channels where this energetic scenario could become problematic--those genetics are eliminated from the avatar potentials), which could take decades or more..passes (the moment of insanity for the indviduals-would tke decades to pass, possibly-remember-7 billion sperate paths).

It is difficult to find the moment to explain the why of such. Part of this is due to the fact that the science of unfolding into 'over unity' or energy freedom from control structures.. this 'free energy' has the capacity to shatter this world. The devices are far too easy to make and put in the hands of someone who's avatar connections and spiritual growth..simply does not have the skill, knowledge, viewpoint or conceptual aspects of overview nor the aspects of avatar control to actually handle the immense potential for energetic manipulation within those sciences.

For example, the simple idea of a woman striking a seductive pose in clothing she bought for that, and this enticing a man, in even a gentle romantic way (ie the romantic film and all it is about, as a visual play-and all connected to it)..even that does not exist anymore. The reasons behind such a thing will have to be transformed at the base level from which it originates. For the core area from which it emerges, whihc is ego expression within an avatar..all that is ugly in this world also emanates, as a fundamental... from the same place.

If one is truthful in their thoughts and logical in their flow of logic and lines of flow in understanding....then there is no arguing with this.

Then you come to the problem where this place is for learning how to navigate such things. this planet, this reality, this dimensional space, is for beings to come and integrate with a 'totally wicked' avatar that is very widespread in it's capacity and directions. We are all like children driving a Ferrari with the gas pedal glued to the floor, on a giant race track with everyone on it at the same time, like a giant mosh pit of slamming about and learning how to drive such a complex beast. And in those moments of slamming about (the entire point), learn lessons on how to integrate more carefully, elsewhere.

The problem is, that in order for the school or place to survive and be as useful as it is right now for the least evolved of the avatar inhabitants, free energy cannot be allowed to exist. For those ones don't even understand that they are in a vehicle, let alone how to take their foot off the gas and steer the dang thing in some basic form of sensibility and complex and tiered/layered thought/awareness.

Tied to the idea of free energy..which as a system of reality as a known parameter (an unfolding of knowledge in the area of fundamental reality) the idea, of for example, an matter/anti-matter weapon..well the components of such a thing already exist in the public realm. Thank the gods that no-one has put them on the same room at the same time. But is a close run thing, it's the closest damn run thing you ever saw. to simplify, .....2 or three sentences. that is how close.

Oh yes. all externalized egoistically projected religions must disappear. gone. All Abrahamic religions gone. period. No ego projections as the ego will have to go and thus those religions simply disappear under the weight of their own projections or egoic circular logic. Poof, they are gone.

And when all these things disappear, the ability for the current designed 'human avatar' to be a learning tool, a 'rubber baby buggy bumper' for the youngest of the incarnating and intrepid dimensionals, that has to disappear. those 'children' will be deprived of the ability to make what the duality layered avatar spirit feels are real mistakes, so they learn those lessons so powerfully. Thus, this extreme value to us to the current incarnated individuals, these bodies, this world, this place this insanity of perfection in the idea and reality of learning through extreme stress and fracturing and recovering..that will end. the beauty and power of those lessons will end for the younger ones. For the idea of 'children' to a 'mother' as a 'human' that does not exist, it never really did. it is only a local and locally useful representation of a reality it is not the true reality. (indigo children and whatnot, smarter than their parents, etc).

The very idea of projection of emotions as a feeling derived push (originating from the avatar), into any of this, that has to go.

Don't just seek detachment, achieve it through total knowing and being of what the system of incarnation actually is.

And so on. :p

Ultimately, from what I see out there, what I think and understand that all these events, all those moments of potential culmination have to build at the same time. For it is a system of 'soul inclusion' in an avatar, with seven billion different beings with 7 billion different paths of evolution and 7 billion different facets, 7 billion herky-jerky advancement/lessons.

Everything I speak about is a direct reflection of the ego. Ego can be dissolved. For example: the changing of the mind's awareness levels, regarding ego and entrainment, within 30 seconds of setting eyes on a television. It really is that close. The lock on the door is only an illusion, a mere position of perspective.

I agree with you, Carmody. On everything.
Where there is ego present there is duality perception. The moment it's out of the way, like 100%, the other reality, the one where everything is perfect, becomes apparent.
And things don't really change, at all times there have been people with huge egos and no chance of stepping outside of duality, and others with zero, and they had the big picture.
I was thinking of some Bahai magazines from 1913, where in a letter Abdu'l-Baha revealed something that was always seen as evidence of a future pole shift. Of course being in apocalyptic mode I also bought into it, and thought he meant the year 2000, (at that time it was our 2012)
Yet here I still am.
It is now 2012, and those magazines are now online, in English and Persian.
And I even found the Tablet. The language has changed, but little else.
This may be a bit long for some so I will bold the text that has what I used to consider the 'juice'.
The part that gets to me today I marked in Blue. Just for the record...I never even read that last paragraph consciously before, until now.


September 1913, Ramleh, Egypt
A WORD PICTURE OF THE "OLD" WORLD.

LOOK thou with seeing eyes at the world about thee and at the inhabitants thereof. Upon the stage of this immense theatre, most spectacular plays are being enacted. On one side thereof thou wilt see the victorious and the vanquished legions of profit and loss. On the other side thou wilt observe the waves of the sea of folly rising and falling. Cries are being raised on every side and the agonies of revolution, revolt and unrest reach unto the ears of progressive men. There is a tremendous strike and clash between capital and labor, and the war between the aristocrats and democrats is carried on relentlessly with bow and arrow, sword and javelin. The phalanxes of a great army are drawn in battle array, each division taking its position. Armed troops and artillery are to be found in every part of the field. The flash o the swords of enmity blind the eyes from even the most remote distance, the lightning effect of breast-plate and lance and the sparkle of the bucklers of hatred light up the night and bewilder the sight. In short: strife, battle, slaughter and war are prepared in organized perfection.

On the other hand thou wilt hear that from every house strains of music are raised, and confusing melodies of harp, lyre, cymbal and flute are heard, and mad revellers are dancing to the tunes, while they are inebriated with the wine of vanishing pleasures. In one place thou wilt behold the wanton and soiled decorations, and in another the flimsy shows of the gilded class of creatures. On the one hand is to be seen the embellishment and luxury made possible through illicit wealth, and on the other hand, the ravishing of this mortal world of its beautiful appearance.

From different parts are to be heard sighs of anguish, lamentations of poverty, cries of agony and misery,—and the calls for succor have reached to the gate of heaven. One hears the weeping of the hopeless, the appeals of the oppressed, the trembling murmurs of the helpless and the harrowing wails of the ship-wrecked in the sea of persecution. The heat of the conflagration of separation spreads on all sides, the fire of longing is raging with great intensity and the tongues of the flames of calamity leap forth in every direction. Here one sees the oppression of kings and the thoughtlessness of cabinet ministers; there one sees conflict on the battle field of thoughts and ideals by ambitious generals, statesmen and administrators of the nations and countries. They consult, scheme, plot and exchange views; they organize falacious and superfluous companies and make false the established values; and thus do they lay and destroy the foundation of their political careers.

In short: when thou observest these things with the eye of reality, thou wilt see that the outcome, result and fruit of all these theatrical performances are mirages and their sweetness is bitter poison. A few days the earth shall roll on its axis, and these fleeting visions will be completely forgotten.

When thou shuttest thine eyes to this dark world and lookest upward and heavenward, thou wilt see light upon light stretching from eternity to eternity. The reality of the mysteries will be revealed. Happy is the pure soul who does not attach himself to the transient conditions and comforts, but rather seeks to attach himself to the purity, nobility and splendor of the world which endures.

-ABDUL-BAHA ABBAS.

Another example of eternal truth...channeling from 1977...Cosmic Awareness...
I've quoted part of this before, but your post needed extra emphasis, so here is a larger morsel.
The most astonishing sentence in ORANGE BOLD.
During the “Cosmic Celebration” at York, Pa, in November 1977, producer Jan Pachul of Television station YCAT-TV in York asked the interpreter, Paul Shockley, if he would do an interview on his TV station and perhaps even a trance session. Paul consented.

This readings is the first of two readings which were given on television, the second one on the following day. The producer, evidently impressed by what was happening, allowed the trance to continue even when the allotted time was up, pre-empting several other programs. This reading which follows is the “first”–never before had a Cosmic Awareness trance been given over this medium. C.A.C. has a black and white video copy of this session which it will loan out to select groups upon request.

QUESTION:

Does Awareness has an opening message?

COSMIC AWARENESS:

This Awareness has been known by many names throughout eternity, throughout many cultures on various planets and on this planet of yours. This Awareness indicates that these names varied according to the language, according to the ability of entities to conceive of that which is infinite.

This Awareness indicates that entities upon this plane have referred to this Awareness by various names as God, as Brahmin, and as other names unknown in present time. This Awareness indicates that It has spoken through many prophets through many ages, and religions have formed around these prophets.

This Awareness indicates It has spoken through musicians, through artists, through those inventors, and those great architects-through all entities upon this plane, this Awareness has moved.

This Awareness indicates that It comes again with Its name being that which cannot be mistaken, cannot be personified, but to allow entities the realization that that which is God, that which is Brahmin, that which is of Divine energy is that which is their own awareness. This Awareness indicates that all entities have a direct pipeline to the source of all life. That each of you is capable of being a channel, of being in tune with the infinite. This Awareness wishes that whatever name you choose to use for describing the spiritual energies, that you remember always that you are a channel for this energy.

This Awareness wishes you to understand that each of you is within the arms of this Awareness. That each of you is within the body of a living universe. That there is nothing in the universe which is dead, or which ever dies-that everything lives eternally. This Awareness indicates that everything also changes.

This Awareness wishes to inform entities upon this plane, that the universe appears and disappears every four-quadrillionth of a second. That within this brief moment, there is that which entities perceive and experience. That each of these four-quadrillionth of a second intervals contains within itself the eternal now. That entities is moving from one macro-moment to another, carry with them that which they choose to carry from one universal moment to the next. This Awareness indicates that wherein you carry that which is sorrow, carry that which is depressing; wherein you carry that which is fear–that your next moment shall carry with it the fear, depression, and sorrow which could have been left behind in your previous moment.

This Awareness asks entities upon this plane to think in new ways, to begin to look in new directions, to begin to explore within themselves those areas of the psychic sea, to move beyond the third dimensional thinking into the fourth dimensional ecstasy.

REDEMPTION


A light the likes of which we’ve never seen
Shall shine upon the earth
And embrace us all in love’s rebirth
Closer than we’ve ever been.
The glinting sparkle will rise in the east
Uplifting all it meets
Around the planet and down the streets
Until all the dark has ceased.
The multi-hued beams will illuminate
Every nook and cranny
Dispelling the common fantasy
Myths we must eliminate.
The novel rays shall use intelligence
Beyond the means of man
And show us life of sheer elegance
Aligned with the holy plan.
A bright scintillating aura will glow
From the sea and the land
Giving the earth a mighty halo
The mark of the divine’s hand.
Radiant energy shall touch us all
Yet each will get to choose
But whether or not we heed the call
We still won’t forever loose.
For when the light of love has lit our hearts
A speck at least stays lit
And when the time comes to play our parts
We’ll have the means to do it.

Okay, I'll show you mine, if you'll show me yours and baby it's cold outside!

Also until someone breaks down and mentions how adorable my kittens are, I will just keep posting videos of them until you do or until they grow up and leave home ~ whichever happens first.

My turning into a stork today does not mean I have gone off cats. I needed wings, to become more mobile.
Your kittens are so cute.
My Easter kitten is fully grown now and finally became friends with the older cat. They look alike now.
They are so spoilt in this climate that even a bit of rain and temperatures dropping down to the sixties drive them inside.
If they had to live where you are they would never leave their electric blanket.

Love the stork Ulli, so looked up stork medicine for you.....Stork aids in new beginnings as there is a spiritual and/or physical birthing taking place. He will aid in carrying the new birthing of ideas, thoughts and new ventures to where they need to be for Spirit's plan. It is time for actions in areas in your life as Stork teaches to move in air (mind) and land (body) with a balance of relaxation. He instills a sense of calm and peace through the process. Stork helps in solidifying and strengthening the domestic fronts as well. Take notice of communicaiton abilities and the attitudes and emotions that your words hold. Stork will show how to carry your new peace into all areas of your life. Stork also represents mothering energies.

I will tell about one of the many highlights of my weekend
Later on today . It was a dismemberment journey where
my physical body was dissolved and I got to feel what it
is to feel formless . Truly life changing stuff.

Slept well but need more.
But for now I have to get moving to pick
Up my beloved boys then I have a class
After which I will be napping again no doubt .

Major openings for me just around the corner too

In 1977, in the USA , that would have probably have been in the original quadrillonth terms, which at the time meant the same as 'yotta', which is a 1 with 24 zeros (current form is quadrillion meaning 15 zeros).

Thus, as compared to the speed of light and how we transform such, that would be 'light'..traveling... 0.0000000749481145 of a nanometer. whoops. I thought in terms of 1/4, not a 4 multiplier. so....

It is bitterly cold, and there is a moon with a blurry iridescent halo around it illuminating the night and the patches of thin snow around the house.

I've just finished eating Snickers ice cream (a very rare treat :-)), now I am having a sip of cool coffe with a dash of cinammon and I am browsing through PA.

The very idea of projection of emotions as a feeling derived push (originating from the avatar), into any of this, that has to go.

Don't just seek detachment, achieve it through total knowing and being of what the system of incarnation actually is.This reminded me of an experience I had a few years ago -around 2006. The answer to my question that I was denying my-self, -my-self Love. At the time, of course I was a mess -so I screamed a question to my inner most self, and the Universe "what I am doing?" "I am doing everything I am suppose to be doing." "and I am missing something please what I am I missing?" and a huge beautiful bright multi-colored pink undulating diamond shape energy sphere appeared in front of me. Oh -it was the most beautiful, loving, gentle intelligent being I had ever seen.

Don't worry about the eternal youth part, you will still be pretty. I have skyped with you in all kinds of light. Be confident and stand up straight. Posture helps tremendously.

On a similar note: Whilst perusing my photos during the day I put a bunch up I saw a lot that captured me in a most flattering light. I could allow myself to rue that certain 'powers' have been lost to me, but that would be silly. I am a much better person now than then, so it seems that being who I am now comes with looking like I do now. I'll take who I am now over how I looked then. I won't agonize over the 'if I could only combine that body with this spirit' mindfark either.

Just have a good Buddha-field and help people upgrade their DNA.

You are a very kind person Rahkyt and are making room for the many excuses people give for not just getting on with it. You are enabling them is an sense, IMO. I believe the situation is as it was 2000 years ago when message delivered (Jesus?) was "the kingdom is at hand". The tools were given then to enter this kingdom, which is this planet with people acting like adults instead of perpetually wounded and sulking children. Forgiveness was the corner stone of this kingdom because it is the healer of all wounds. So Carmody positing his ideas is not really someplace else, but here and now with humanity giving up its penchant for playing in its' poop. The solution may be more than 2000 years old, but the ideas in the NT allow us to know that it is at least this old.

You are a very kind person Rahkyt and are making room for the many excuses people give for not just getting on with it. You are enabling them is an sense, IMO. I believe the situation is as it was 2000 years ago when message delivered (Jesus?) was "the kingdom is at hand". The tools were given then to enter this kingdom, which is this planet with people acting like adults instead of perpetually wounded and sulking children. Forgiveness was the corner stone of this kingdom because it is the healer of all wounds. So Carmody positing his ideas is not really someplace else, but here and now with humanity giving up its penchant for playing in its' poop. The solution may be more than 2000 years old, but the ideas in the NT allow us to know that it is at least this old.

Yes, I stick up for underdogs too. Sometimes long past the time when they should be stuck up for, as you know, bredren. I'm working on it. You're probably right about this, if you're saying that the world is long past ready to move on, it's just the people on it that are holding it back.

It would be wonderful if it wasn't 'soimeplace else', like 5D earth, or 4D earth, or wherever D that some folks say we are going, but instead, right here on 3D earth, right all around us. To create this world where people have moved past those failings that Carmody pointed out in his amazing post would be to make of this world a garden and a paradise. I just wondered, as I was reading it, well, where would all of the people who did not live up to this conception go? Well, will everybody have to do it at the same time? How?

So I prefaced my comments with "someplace else entirely", as a nod to the ascensionists, who seem to want to go someplace else anyway.

If we're going to talk about putting an age to transcension of the self, then I'd rather think it is eternal, as what it is, really, is just a clearing of all of the material detritus that comes as a result of repeating lifetime after lifetime accumulating dross and then doing it all over again to pile onto an already voluminous heap of funkalicious worldly BEing-ness.

This Awareness wishes to inform entities upon this plane, that the universe appears and disappears every four-quadrillionth of a second. That within this brief moment, there is that which entities perceive and experience. That each of these four-quadrillionth of a second intervals contains within itself the eternal now. That entities is moving from one macro-moment to another, carry with them that which they choose to carry from one universal moment to the next. This Awareness indicates that wherein you carry that which is sorrow, carry that which is depressing; wherein you carry that which is fear–that your next moment shall carry with it the fear, depression, and sorrow which could have been left behind in your previous moment.

It would seem logical then...that as one raises their frequency, then one begin to see other entities and other realities. The given reality goes from ephemeral, ghostly and ghost like to a hard physical reality. One would change their 'phase matching and frequency'.

I don't really know... but this seems logical. It is a good premise to attempt discovery.....from.

Combining this with the Law of 3 as taught by Gurdjieff:
The mind grabs a hold of a new premise:
Affirmingly...then doubts arise...then one goes into the opposite by denying then finally Reconciling the two extreme points ...
and ready for the next experience.
Faster and faster...higher frequencies.....constantly quickening.
This is what is meant by "The Quickening" of mankind.
Used as a thinking tool one can then get emotions and desires under control.

Let me start this post by saying welcome back to the Village. I like funkalicious.

My post alluding to you being an enabler was meant at pointing to what I believe is an impediment to progress. That is sticking up for the underdog, in this situation, not all. Like any pathogen, the parasites of this world (the PTB) are thriving in an unhealthy environment and that would be the psycho-emotional state of people. People like me and Carmody appear as hardasses picking on underdogs. These underdogs have many protectors because most families are a mix of awareness capabilities. People are getting the kind of cover that would make it appear they qualify for the Special Olympics. We both know this is not the case. The so called underdogs are really underachievers, addicts to lower emotional functioning. The worst enemy of any addict, aside from themselves, is the enabler. Enabling comes from love, to be sure, so it has a noble inspiration, but the effects are nothing short of devastating. The story, maybe true, of Jesus ending up hanging on a cross while a criminal went free is one of many alerting us to how most of humanity treats those who point out the shortcomings of our species. Almost every person wallowing in the muck has at least one enabler. So now we have at least two holding up progress. I feel progress would really leap forward without the coddling that goes on. This penchant for coddling, however noble, is actually another piece of the emotional puzzle that has to be overcome, IMO.

If our Alpha/Theta and Delta deep sleep states were to actually be parallel realities, wouldn't it be grand to "create" a highly functional slider control between the two? I almost said, "easier said than done", but refuse to frame it that way. Do you consider it possible?

Here is what is happening...

The furnace kicked on a minute ago.
Between the words I feel the heat around me as it is blown about the room.
And then mind moves to another line... more words.
Stopped, and the subtle sound of blood is heard moving throughout the ear canal.
And another set of words is typed, and now stopped again, and the furnace is heard to have stopped its blower, also.
My roommate opens the freezer door. And the sound of the blower there is heard.
More words... and the feeling is lost. The sound is lost, too.
Now, alot of blowing of air. hot air, cold air, balanced to a degree or so, it helps the fingers to move from key to key, in an attempt to form a link between me & thee... from seeing to not seeing, and back again...
With every word brings a blindness... a sort of darkness... and a deafness.
in between the words the clouds are gone, the light shines brighter,
words they get in the way... It makes communicating quite difficult.
To write a word, one becomes unconscious.
Communion is a better way to go.
One could remain conscious while communing.

When I did it I was playing with 0.1Hz levels of change in susceptibility to frame rates in light flashes, in the midst of using self hypnotic techniques, pure vegan diet, mental regression through said self hypnotics and preparing and using my own little version of a 'monatomic silver (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?7130-Monatomic-silver-and-properly-charged-one-of-the-true-philospoher-s-stone-s-&highlight=silver+monatomic)'. I was also in the middle of my 'Pluto square' astrological alignment, which was 12 years back. This all took place on the cusp of the change to the 8th level of the Mayan chart. This is sort of covered in the lithium thread. There is also one aspect that I'm not speaking on.... and probably won't. I've no idea of that aspect's affect on my scenario, as it can't be easily separated from who I am.

Right now, Neptune has entered Pisces and it has activated a series of energies that pertain to my chart.... that have me going through about 16 major transits in the next month. At the same time we have entered a Dragon year, which was the same kind of year I had during my Pluto Square transit - and I'm a Dragon.

In conclusion, I manged to get there, but it was hard work. Also, attitude, in the real. I was going to get to where I wanted to go to, or I would die in the attempt.

Saturday night went to the 80th birthday party of a man I've worked with for many years. I rarely go to parties, but this man is such a beautiful soul I couldn't stay away. If not for him and a couple of other people, I wish I had stayed away.

I had some unusual feelings of being among walking, talking zombies....like I was in color and everyone else was in black and white...or like they weren't fully there and I could walk right through them. I can't explain it....it was so very strange. Maybe the best way to put it was.... they were so deeply programmed it was like they were walking through this life totally unaware of each other or their surroundings. I mean, they conversed, but never really said anything...just empty words. And these were all people I've worked with on and off down through the years that I thought I knew fairly well.

I did socialize...I talked and took my turn at the piano for a bit...even sang a couple of songs, but it didn't feel right. Even the food tasted as tho' it had no life in it.

The more I try to process it and put it into words, the greater difficulty I'm having. Has anyone else ever had such an experience?

It's the "alien" phase of life. Denotes you are in the middle of your shift.
You become the alien, for a little while. Then things change again.
The big shift everyone is talking about is already happening and has been for a number of years.
It is still something that is being experienced individually, one person at a time.

When you come out at the other end you will accept people as normal again, except it will no longer bother you that they haven't yet gone through the shift yet, even though you have.
By then whenever you meet anyone who has been through it you will recognize them in an instant and will feel a special intimacy with them.

But you will also honor the humanness of everyone else.
Because the love you feel radiating out of you will increase, will flow effortlessly, no matter how others may appear ignorant or selfish.
You'll just see them as souls who suffer from amnesia, and have forgotten their purpose.

Have I ever? I have used the very same analogy of color and black and white. Stranger in a strange land is another. So people like us come to a forum like this and then refine it to this thread and finally feel among kindred spirits.

Living for half a year at a time in a holistic community not only helps me to feel comfortable it also allows me to experience a higher functioning society. It allows me to know that those who are not growing are choosing to do so. Like cleaning up after ourselves, some do and some don't. With similar ramifications. The rest of us are left with a mess we didn't make. And so it goes.

Thanks for that your benevolence :thank_you2:



Prayer and Blessing for the Changes

Beloved Father/Mother God
That which I AM
That which is within
Come forth, come forth, come forth
Fully illuminate and fill my aura with your divine love, joy, bliss, wisdom and protection
Sever all psychic bonds, all karmic ties and send a thousand light beings down any of these connections to heal in the light of forgiveness any unresolved issues or unfinished business.
Teach them Love, the universal laws, how to manifest without trespass on others or in acts harmful to Earth.
May all go forward in Universal Peace, Brother/Sisterly Love, Individual Freedom and Prosperity for All.
SO BE IT.

Pass it on co-creators

This was given to me in deep meditation. It is a powerful prayer and blessing to be used individually and collectively. I take no credit or blame for its invocation.

Here and now some thoughts:

The dynamic of my Winter working environment is very interesting. As a massage therapist I am an independent contractor. I show up, take my client into the room provided and take it from there. I bring my own space heater so that I can provide as warm a room as the client might want without asking management to give it to me. I bring my own music. I set the the environment to the best of my ability to provide the client with a safe and comfortable environment. Music and temperature can be modified at their request. Then there is me.

Conversations often happen. Some are very involved and some go in spurts. What is interesting in these exchanges is where differing realities meet. Whenever a comparison of realities ensues one thing is usually quickly apparent. I have invested far more time in examining and understanding my world than they have. Much of the information they have they got from TV and is only a few millimeters thick. A few scratches and it breaks through. I have every interest in my clients feeling comfortable with me, so the conversation drops off as soon as makes sense. I am then free to apply my skills to them as energy passes from my hands into them. This allows me to be in my sovereignty and power in almost every situation. They are too, which is as it should be.

Corporations are truly the sickest of all work environments. Their very structure is set up for illness. A body that has parts that cannot communicate with other parts, will surely be diseased.

Was this OK?

I mean, they conversed, but never really said anything...just empty words. And these were all people I've worked with on and off down through the years that I thought I knew fairly well.

I did socialize...I talked and took my turn at the piano for a bit...even sang a couple of songs, but it didn't feel right. Even the food tasted as tho' it had no life in it.

The more I try to process it and put it into words, the greater difficulty I'm having. Has anyone else ever had such an experience?

Interesting verbalization of that which I expect we all experience to varying degrees.

As to "walking, talking zombies" ... we must add "driving" to the list. Yesterday I pulled up in back of a car with the "custom or prestige" license plates where you pick your own unique combination of letters and numbers of ...

... you guessed it ... "ZOMBIE" :haha:

There is a lot I could say but, then I would be revealing things that shouldn't be revealed.

When I go into public places I wear polarized sun glasses (even at night), cover up -wear heavy clothing and braid my hair and sometimes wear earplugs & a hat. This helps with sensing or seeing "too much."

Sometimes hard for me to get the words out.

Everything and everyone has a vibration -a sound this helps me to not get lost in the words. I'm not a character letter creating words person either -never have been. I was around 9 yrs old when I realized that most people talk and write to communicate. I was about 5-6 when I learned to talk. Everyone thought I was retarded. -don't laugh Modwiz. I used sound and thought..... it freaked people out that I could read their minds so I stopped replying to what thoughts they threw out.

There are a lot of spirits coming here and a lot are raising up and out.....exponentially...

Yes Belle there are many many people, who don't get it and are holding very tightly to the illusion. People may do a lot of things we don't agree with, get angry, violent; keep imposing their reality on those who are shifting or do get it.... they think this reality is "real" -the ego is a precious thing to them. As Carmody said, things may have to come to an Orwellian critical point -en masse- to evoke a shift or change....to go beyond the current collective....

My own life is a very strange dichotomy.... I'm working on my ego and karmic life events, experiencing the earth shift through the cosmos and watching all of the different energies going to and fro.... and doing my best to take direction from Spirit. Grateful for this thread.

Here and now some thoughts:

The dynamic of my Winter working environment is very interesting. As a massage therapist I am an independent contractor. I show up, take my client into the room provided and take it from there. I bring my own space heater so that I can provide as warm a room as the client might want without asking management to give it to me. I bring my own music. I set the the environment to the best of my ability to provide the client with a safe and comfortable environment. Music and temperature can be modified at their request. Then there is me.

Conversations often happen. Some are very involved and some go in spurts. What is interesting in these exchanges is where differing realities meet. Whenever a comparison of realities ensues one thing is usually quickly apparent. I have invested far more time in examining and understanding my world than they have. Much of the information they have they got from TV and is only a few millimeters thick. A few scratches and it breaks through. I have every interest in my clients feeling comfortable with me, so the conversation drops off as soon as makes sense. I am then free to apply my skills to them as energy passes from my hands into them. This allows me to be in my sovereignty and power in almost every situation. They are too, which is as it should be.

Corporations are truly the sickest of all work environments. Their very structure is set up for illness. A body that has parts that cannot communicate with other parts, will surely be diseased.

Was this OK?

I just found this joke about congress:

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the Washington DC beltway. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.
The driver rolls down the window and asks, “What’s going on?”
“Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they’re asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations.”
“How much is everyone giving, on average?” the driver asks.
“About a gallon!”

You are a very kind person Rahkyt and are making room for the many excuses people give for not just getting on with it. You are enabling them is an sense, IMO. I believe the situation is as it was 2000 years ago when message delivered (Jesus?) was "the kingdom is at hand". The tools were given then to enter this kingdom, which is this planet with people acting like adults instead of perpetually wounded and sulking children. Forgiveness was the corner stone of this kingdom because it is the healer of all wounds. So Carmody positing his ideas is not really someplace else, but here and now with humanity giving up its penchant for playing in its' poop. The solution may be more than 2000 years old, but the ideas in the NT allow us to know that it is at least this old.

Yes, I stick up for underdogs too. Sometimes long past the time when they should be stuck up for, as you know, bredren. I'm working on it. You're probably right about this, if you're saying that the world is long past ready to move on, it's just the people on it that are holding it back.

It would be wonderful if it wasn't 'soimeplace else', like 5D earth, or 4D earth, or wherever D that some folks say we are going, but instead, right here on 3D earth, right all around us. To create this world where people have moved past those failings that Carmody pointed out in his amazing post would be to make of this world a garden and a paradise. I just wondered, as I was reading it, well, where would all of the people who did not live up to this conception go? Well, will everybody have to do it at the same time? How?

So I prefaced my comments with "someplace else entirely", as a nod to the ascensionists, who seem to want to go someplace else anyway.

If we're going to talk about putting an age to transcension of the self, then I'd rather think it is eternal, as what it is, really, is just a clearing of all of the material detritus that comes as a result of repeating lifetime after lifetime accumulating dross and then doing it all over again to pile onto an already voluminous heap of funkalicious worldly BEing-ness.



But, but, but.....

Here is my stuck-ness. My first handicap is that I cannot express what it is, as eloquently as others. I will hobble on, since its important to me right now.
If unconditional love means one wishes the other to be happy, where-ever they are, enabling is NOT being their warden.
From a point of clarity surely we have the chance to show the consequences of their behavior? Leonard Cohen says: There is a crack, a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.
Speaking of crack, so you want me to hand the addict an overdose and say:- go-on you useless fellow human, take it, you are holding me back!
Or shout: Hey sailor, get off of the stage you fraud, I see your imperfections. You don't deserve love!
To deny love and compassion through their loneliness and pain, is to deny them a chance. Do I have my own system of denial by wishing others well? Of course. That's not the bigger picture.
This world is full of somnambulists....... that is how it is....

Like any pathogen, the parasites of this world are thriving in an unhealthy environment and that would be the psycho-emotional state of people. People like me and Carmody appear as hardasses picking on underdogs. These underdogs have many protectors because most families are a mix of awareness capabilities. People are getting the kind of cover that would make it appear they qualify for the Special Olympics. We both know this is not the case. The so called underdogs are really underachievers, addicts to lower emotional functioning. The worst enemy of any addict, aside from themselves, is the enabler. Enabling comes from love, to be sure, so it has a noble inspiration, but the effects are nothing short of devastating. The story, maybe true, of Jesus ending up hanging on a cross while a criminal went free is one of many alerting us to how most of humanity treats those who point out the shortcomings of our species. Almost every person wallowing in the muck has at least one enabler. So now we have at least two holding up progress. I feel progress would really leap forward without the coddling that goes on. This penchant for coddling, however noble, is actually another piece of the emotional puzzle that has to be overcome, IMO.

Do you think Boddhisatva's are coddlers, then? I'm afraid I don't agree with most of the perspective on the world that you put forth here. It's not my path although I recognize it as a valid choice and one that resonates to some. There are parasites among the over-dogs as well. Perhaps even more than among the under-dogs. Not a big fan of tough love either. But I definitely know it when I see it. And, way too often, it's a mask for a superiority complex.

No ego projections as the ego will have to go and thus those religions simply disappear under the weight of their own projections or egoic circular logic. Poof, they are gone.

And when all these things disappear, the ability for the current designed 'human avatar' to be a learning tool, a 'rubber baby buggy bumper' for the youngest of the incarnating and intrepid dimensionals, that has to disappear. those 'children' will be deprived of the ability to make what the duality layered avatar spirit feels are real mistakes, so they learn those lessons so powerfully. Thus, this extreme value to us to the current incarnated individuals, these bodies, this world, this place this insanity of perfection in the idea and reality of learning through extreme stress and fracturing and recovering..that will end. the beauty and power of those lessons will end for the younger ones. For the idea of 'children' to a 'mother' as a 'human' that does not exist, it never really did. it is only a local and locally useful representation of a reality it is not the true reality. (indigo children and whatnot, smarter than their parents, etc).

The very idea of projection of emotions as a feeling derived push (originating from the avatar), into any of this, that has to go.

Don't just seek detachment, achieve it through total knowing and being of what the system of incarnation actually is.

And so on. :p

Ultimately, from what I see out there, what I think and understand that all these events, all those moments of potential culmination have to build at the same time. For it is a system of 'soul inclusion' in an avatar, with seven billion different beings with 7 billion different paths of evolution and 7 billion different facets, 7 billion herky-jerky advancement/lessons.


Let me try again.
Seeking this detachment without projecting ego or superiority. Allowing space for rubber-baby-buggy-bumpers their own unfolding.

CRY OUT IN YOUR WEAKNESS

A dragon was pulling a bear into its terrible mouth
A courageous man went and rescued the bear.
There are such helpers in the world, who rush to save
anyone who cries out. Like mercy itself,
they run toward the screaming.
And they can’t be bought off.
If you were to ask one of those, “Why did you come
so quickly?” he or she would say, “Because I heard your helplessness.”
Where lowland is,
that’s where water goes. All medicine wants is pain to cure.
And don’t just ask for one mercy.
Let them flood in. Let the sky open under your feet.
Take the cotton out of your ears, the cotton
of consolations, so you can hear the sphere-music.
Push the hair out of your eyes.
Blow the phlegm from your nose,
and from your brain.
Let the wind breeze through.
Leave no residue in yourself from that bilious fever.
Take the cure for impotence,
that your manhood may shoot forth,
and a hundred new beings come of your coming.
Tear the binding from around the foot
of your soul, and let it race around the track
in front of the crowd. Loosen the knot of greed
so tight on your neck. Accept your new good luck.
Give your weakness
to one who helps.
Crying out loud and weeping are great resources.
A nursing mother, all she does
is wait to hear her child.
Just a little beginning-whimper,
and she’s there.
God created the child, that is, your wanting,
so that it might cry out, so that milk might come.
Cry out! Don’t be stolid and silent
with your pain. Lament! And let the milk
of loving flow into you.
The hard rain and wind
are ways the cloud has
to take care of us.
Be patient.
Respond to every call
that excites your spirit.
Ignore those that make you fearful
and sad, that degrade you
back toward disease and death.

What... is the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow?

The account request procedure on DeepThought asks the applicant several questions ("What is your name?", etc.) For its amusement value, it was suggested to me that I throw in the swallow question from the movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The question appears amidst those related to account creation, without any context shift, so I expected it be somewhat jarring and had no idea what sort of responses I would get. As it turns out, most of those who bother to enter anything either recognize the question or attempt to come up with a suitably silly answer. Jonathan Corum has attempted to actually estimate the answer to this question.

Below are the responses received from August 1993 through November 2005, ranked by the number of times each was given. The capitalization and punctuation is that of the first version of each response that was received. There were 4233 non-empty responses during this period; only those that consisted of at least three words are included here.

736 African, or European?


Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?
Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.
Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
Bridgekeeper: Huh? I-- I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!
Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?
Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

This place has its cluster of immature antagonists, judges, incarcerators, pouncers...people that simply spit on others and lick their chops in satisfaction, in subtle and blatant ways...and I know and understand the reasons and it is beyond reason...for the psychopathic putridness leaks to some degree into every facet as an infection of disgusting motivation. If it still happens to the degree it happens here at pa then it certainly needs us wildcards out there doing what we are prompted to do even in the smallest of ways that result in a ripple of benefit that may grow and glow.
I posted in that newer thread that you are aware of because I felt something so strong and so similar to my happenings on my journey that I could not sit back and watch. As most of you here, I visit very few threads out there. Those I do visit usually have the strong feel of genuineness and sincerity. What Pila was sharing was and is much the way I have received and do now receive my promptings that have been leading consistently to synchronicities of help and provision beyond any explanation that many would accept...it just happens. I find it interesting that a crucifiction is still so readily available...and I do hope it is close to the end of that here and those 'clusters' find a good sharp and vivid mirror soon.

Good Morning!
My kitchen is 100 percent put together! Yes, Ulli, except the pics, which I save for last, too. I piddled all day yesterday, unpacking and washing every kitchen item I own. My efforts paid off, for I awoke at 5am to fresh coffee and not a single thing to do in the kitchen but enjoy the view of the outside world from every angle. It's absolutely perfect. The first night was not restful because my sick grandson stayed with us. I am blown away by his constant energy, even when he's sick. He currently has pink eye in both eyes, we are all getting chapped from washing hands so often. Note to self: find a box with hand lotion in it. He is also quite sick again, I knew he was getting another infection when he started running a fever. Poor baby. I bought some immune system boosting vitamins, and my daughter has been giving them to him every day for a week. Still, off an antibiotic for a week, and another infection hits. Ears, chest, throat, nose...

Today will be my first trip to the store for groceries. Looking forward to having a garden to harvest. The closest store is a Hel-Mart, and it is 25 minutes away. I am wishing we had a general store, like the one described a while back.

Last night was our first real night here. I'm not sure I can find words to describe this place, this night. I did not know what I was not experiencing in the city. I'm a little fearful because I am getting little tastes of what I was missing, and I have a sense that I'm only seeing the tip of the iceberg. Never, never had the clock/repeating numbers experiences others speak about. Have had three in the past 10 hours. Very rarely dreamed in the city, had two VIVID dreams that startled me and woke me up. Can't remember them at the moment, but I think I might be able to remember them later.

There is frost outside this morning. Real frost. Like every item outside had a dusting overnight. It has been so long since I saw such beauty. And I had forgotten what darkness is...true darkness. The kind of darkness that is a blanket over the physical world as if tucking it in for a long rest. But the stars....oh! The stars twinkle. And the moon-I saw it, and it had a halo! I stood outside, freezing my butt off, when it was pitch black-no glow from any cities in view, in the yard. The air was so pure and brisk my lungs did not recognize it, and the feel of the air was like cold velour, textured but soft and comforting, and quiet-not quiet, peace. Silence but for the animals in the distance.

:)
Much Love,

Pila...please finish Your story, it IS important, so important, imho!

There are things in Your story that will help some People, immensely...it is key for some to hear it right now.

What is important is that many are getting 'nudges' to do things but are hesitant to take the step for fear of being ridiculed or fear of failure or fear that it is crazy because they have not stepped off the cliff, so to speak...when all they have to do is listen and go and the help and unfolding of their prompts will be there...and so the next step and the next step. Helping to upgrade the changes needed right now.

I will pm You

Hi eaglespirit.

Although I have not participated in the thread you mention I watched some of it unfold and saw your frustration grow. Not a side we see here n now :)

Did Pila respond to your PM?

What about starting a "group"??? Though I have not done that isn't it by invitation only (if set up that way) giving Pila the space to share the story without those seeking to voice opposition?

Aw, dear heart eaglespirit! Your efforts were noted, and I for one found your contribution there quite proud-making.
Those of us who are honest tend to live with the assumption that others are, too, and like to give the benefit of the doubt.
But those who live by the law of the jungle see nothing but enemies, liars and deceivers,
and maybe they think by needling and heckling they can extract whatever goodness might be there.
But perhaps not even that is their motive? Protective instinct? Vanity? I have no idea.
When a stranger appears with confidence and assumes that he will be accepted without reservation then the energies of this planet will respond in a predictable fashion. It is then up to each one to choose to run with those energies or resist their promptings. But such a choice is not always recognized as such.

Here and now...in my new sharing spot. Listening for sounds of whirring and buzzing and humming, like I used to hear in my old spot. I hear the air blowing through the floor vents. My laptop makes a whir. There is not one other sound I can detect. I went outside just now to check to see if the fresh world is still out there. Yes, it is. The stars are still in the sky. The don't twinkle, they flicker, much like lightning bugs in the summer when I was a child. I cannot believe how many stars there are...there are too many to count. I wonder...when did all these stars appear in the sky?

The air is so brisk, so clean.

This sounds cliche, and I wish I could describe this differently-with all my heart I do, but...a haze has been lifted in my world. I can see things, I can smell them, and my thoughts are more clear. I lived close to San Francisco for a few years, and I remember smog. I have been living under a smog for 8 years-probably more. The smog is gone. I am shocked and bewildered that something is present in the big city that is absent here. And I mean, really, truly, physically present. Like electronic static, and chemicals in the air, and whatever is manmade that clouds the mind and prevents sound sleep. Physical agents of unknown origins...really work. :(

It is a wonder that I was able to exist for so long in that fog. Spiritually, for lack of a better word, I am truly surprised I was able to focus on any one truth while peering through that dense blockage. I was dying. It is as if I am born this morning, a butterfly escaping the cocoon of metamorphosis...well, I don't suppose I am yet a butterfly...maybe I am just realizing that I will be a butterfly :)

Life is difficult for gentle souls...as you well know, sweet eaglespirit. Your rising frustration with that thread was palpable...I could almost hear the call from deep within you "Protect and defend". It's hard to watch a flower being trampled and struggling to rise again.

I wonder if this is an example of the "enabling" Modwiz was talking about earlier? What to do...defend and protect or help strengthen the flower. My first reaction was to defend, but felt the consequences (giving the trolls more ammunition to attack) were not worth it. On second thought, I offered a brief post hoping to encourage and strengthen Pila to help him go on through the muck. We won't always be there to defend and help him...he must learn to do that on his own. Perhaps the greatest kindness we can give him is the tools to stand on his own...similar to a baby first learning to walk, falling down is part of the process but made easier knowing there are people with arms encircling to prevent harm. We can help show him the way, but he must take those steps on his own.

Much love to you, eaglespirit and your huge heart.

I would love to make a suggestion....can we all try and do a team effort here,
and for a twenty four hour period SHOWER our beloved, cherished and revered Modwiz with sprinkles, bubbles, bullets and bombs of unconditional LOVE
after which he will be asked to report back to us if the thoughts and feelings that arose within him during this period would have him ask for a second helping.

Or perhaps God forbid, the result is that he will be storming out of the Village, hair and cloak flying?
Whatever the result, I am certain he won't object to an experiment, if it is based on empirical science?
Then we all can see if the results confirm existing theories about enabling love, or maybe new categories have to be added to the English stiff upper lip language.

The parasites I am referring to are the overlords. The unhealthy environment are/is the masses who are too busy being on the wounded list to act as a proper immune system. I can tell my point has been missed. It is not important to make it. I can only see what I see. It is my reality and I ask no others to accept or view it. Thank you for your reply. I will always admire your compassion.

Yes. When I read what you wrote, I immediately thought of non-physical reality and energy-siphoning, ptw sycophants and plain old disfunctional petty tyrants of the daily life variety. Your point wasn't missed, but there is a thin line between over and under, between abuser and victim, in my experience and understanding. From a certain viewpoint, even the manifest overlords are victims of predators at a higher level. The whole food chain idea. Establishing one's own identity in this world often occurs through the mechanisms of competition which are inherently stratifying.

As I've recently mentioned in other threads, I'm currently going through a period of self-analysis. The mess with LS and Ishtar is not an anomaly in the way I interact with my surroundings. Pila's thread, the Bill Wood affair, all instances when I choose to take a stand upon a principle that is beyond the scope of whatever drama I'm contributing to at that moment. I've been standing up for others since I was a kid. Been a mediator. Giving my energy and time to folks who do not necessarily deserve or who are appreciative of it, according to others. Sirayah calls it, energetically, the crucifixion complex, as it takes the form of a negative energetic cross in many people's personal energy spheres as an actual manifestation at the 7th or 8th matrice overlay. Probably comes from half a lifetime in the Church. Energetically, the Bodhisattva vows accomplish much the same thing. There are ways to and through power in those paths, but I am coming to wonder to what orientation they truly belong, as both are integrally concerned with energetic transference between sentient beings.

Strengthening of boundaries, the discrete application of personal power, time and effort, all are aspects of coming to an understanding of these inner urges. Dunno, maybe these are all past-life agreements that need to be released.

And yet, there remains that something. A fierce flame at the innermost core of my BEing that says I AM supposed to stand up. My incarnative form as being a black American with our peculiar history and status, having the opportunities I've been given, being blessed with the skill-set that I was born with ... if I cannot use them for the upliftment of others, then of what use are they? For my own personal gain?

Good Morning : )
This place has its cluster of immature antagonists, judges, incarcerators, pouncers...people that simply spit on others and lick their chops in satisfaction, in subtle and blatant ways...and I know and understand the reasons and it is beyond reason...for the psychopathic putridness leaks to some degree into every facet as an infection of disgusting motivation. If it still happens to the degree it happens here at pa then it certainly needs us wildcards out there doing what we are prompted to do even in the smallest of ways that result in a ripple of benefit that may grow and glow.
I posted in that newer thread that you are aware of because I felt something so strong and so similar to my happenings on my journey that I could not sit back and watch. As most of you here, I visit very few threads out there. Those I do visit usually have the strong feel of genuineness and sincerity. What Pila was sharing was and is much the way I have received and do now receive my promptings that have been leading consistently to synchronicities of help and provision beyond any explanation that many would accept...it just happens. I find it interesting that a crucifiction is still so readily available...and I do hope it is close to the end of that here and those 'clusters' find a good sharp and vivid mirror soon.
Had to vent a bit this morn, thank you here and nowers.

Life is difficult for gentle souls...as you well know, sweet eaglespirit. Your rising frustration with that thread was palpable...I could almost hear the call from deep within you "Protect and defend". It's hard to watch a flower being trampled and struggling to rise again.

I wonder if this is an example of the "enabling" Modwiz was talking about earlier? What to do...defend and protect or help strengthen the flower. My first reaction was to defend, but felt the consequences (giving the trolls more ammunition to attack) were not worth it. On second thought, I offered a brief post hoping to encourage and strengthen Pila to help him go on through the muck. We won't always be there to defend and help him...he must learn to do that on his own. Perhaps the greatest kindness we can give him is the tools to stand on his own...similar to a baby first learning to walk, falling down is part of the process but made easier knowing there are people with arms encircling to prevent harm. We can help show him the way, but he must take those steps on his own.

Much love to you, eaglespirit and your huge heart.

Standing up to bullies, helping someone who is getting ganged up on and enabling are two very different things. I am too worn out from not being understood to explain it anymore. I am dropping the subject, it is too close to emotional buttons to make it work. As someone who has put my own flesh between fights to prevent it, I understand being a protector and honor it greatly. It is the sacred warrior energy.

I really appreciate all of the love. I am a big mush. Venus in Pisces wants total fusion with all. Telepathy will really work for me. Words have to get in line to be heard. Some thoughts need two or more parallel voices being heard at the same time to be interpreted correctly. Love doesn't need that. It just washes over you like a wave, or a breeze.

Note to self: check horoscope early in the day.


On all levels
This is the best possible time to express your feelings and emotions, but it is not so favorable for reasoned logical communication. You may be quite capable of reasoning well under this influence, but pure reason and logic alone cannot communicate all that you want to express. During this time you have to communicate on all levels, not just with your mind. On the other hand, if you are in a reasonably tranquil state of mind now, you will be a much better listener than usual. Your mind is receptive to the point that you receive not only words but also another person's moods and feelings. You can listen very sympathetically, because you can literally feel with the other person. This influence favors discussion with anyone who communicates with feelings as well as words.

Explains the communication problems I've been having today. Sorry.

More music...this is my mushiest song of all times...
When I first met my husband I had just had a dream that we were a married couple and that we had a British rock star traveling in the back of our car with us. Someone quite famous, like Rod Stewart. In a way the dream scared me as I wasn't even in love with hubby yet. We were just friends. I knew Bryan Ferry then, had met him before, his then wife Lucy had introduced me to him.
One year later I was married to my present husband and soon after Bryan Ferry was in Barbados again. We saw him regularly and when he changed his plans by staying an extra week while the rest of his entourage went back to England he took the two of us to lunch every day. I would be driving my little Mazda and bryan was sitting behind us, always humming his songs....I was thinking at the time how odd...as if he wanted to be with parents...a little boy who needed to be with mummy and daddy..
My husband being a Latino from Costa Rica had no idea who Bryan Ferry was but loved his albums which I was playing constantly.
This song is Bete Noire from the album with the same name.

Music in general is too important to me to even begin to tell; and my taste is highly eclectic.
However, there is a little musical story Id like to share.

A few years ago, I had a week of non-stop work. When I say non-stop, I mean that I got up on a Monday and went to bed on the Friday that followed. During that time I barely ate anything, drank a little more, but basically I worked without pause. Sunrise followed sunset, again and again, while I worked.

The one thing, the only thing, that I did except work was hit the replay button of the following video (two videos, actually) as soon as it ended.
I credit it with being my true sustenance during that week.
Possibly because of its hypnotic quality - and because of that ineffable resonance, that something that underlies any particular musical choice at any given moment - it saw me through all those hours with relative - and almost miraculous - ease.

It's Philip Glass.
Not to everyone's taste. :)

One of my all time favorite quotes:

To live content with small means.... To seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion.... To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich.... To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly.... To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart.... To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.... In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common....
...........this is to be my symphony.

It was a very nice sunny day here in southern Québec. It felt like early spring, which is very odd for February. I can live with that, especially as I have 4 days of work day to go before my leave. An early spring would suit me perfectly.

I had my grandson over for the weekend, my young wise man. I had not seen him much since the new year, so we made a date and spent most of the weekend together. Play time did me good. I am grateful.

"its that time again... the moon is nearly full and the full moon in cancer constellation will be in the mercury ruled star ashlesha.and mercury is combust ,swallowed up by the sun in opposition.the polarity of this opposition involves the 2 halves of the brain the moon is strong in cancer and brings out the emotional/intuitive ,memory fueled part of the brain.mercury opposite in cool capricorn is dry in comparison analytical and practical.a bipolar state exists .the sun and mercury have entered the music star dhanistha /delphinus in this star the sun wants to dance and make music .the ruler of dhanistha is mars, and mars is in a star ruled by the sun so they are in each others stars(visiting)which we call mutual reception.this helps the creative fire energy to flow more easily"

Today while driving across the dessert I saw 6 military helicopters flying low in uniform -at about 500 ft spraying something out of the tails....

Drove 300 miles through absolute madness today -crazy millions of people on the highways it's insane to me....
while I was sitting at a stand still in the millions of cars - I thought the hell with it; pulled off to side of the road
and checked in with the village. I listened to the radio part of the way.... the funny thing is that a lot of the songs/videos that the people of village play -played on the radio.....

Am back on the mtn, the moon is high over head peering out in between the clouds and I have fire burning in the stove.
After being so frazzled I do appreciate the soothing music.

So I make it over another steep hill on the highway and hit morre gridlock -we're at a standstill and I am sitting there looking around. And I turn into a sphere of light; then I look out and everyone in their cars turns into light. Then this thick white light comes piercing through from above and all of the cars and everything turns into white energy light -no form. Through it all I pulled over and fumbled for the radio; turned it on and started to sing. After a moment or a while -I don't know how long....the light zeroed out....and everything came back into form. The songs -almost consecutively were old rock and roll songs that a lot of the villagers play here....I sang, screamed and cried for another 150 miles until I got home. I am now sitting with my cats by the warm fire.

"I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over
And I listen to the clicking of the train wheels as we cross the border
And they ask me of the time when I was caught behind the line and taken prisoner
They only held me for a day, a lucky break, I say
They turn and listen closer
I'll never know, I'll never know
Why I was taken from the line with all the others
To board a special train and journey deep into the heart of Holy Russia
And it's cold and damp in the transit camp, and the air is still and sullen
And the pale sun of October whispers the snow will soon be coming
And I wonder when I'll be home again and the morning answers Never
And the evening sighs and the steely Russian skies go on forever"

Back in 2005, my coworker/student had this dream. I was in a hospital bed in this giant white room. I was teaching her to manipulate these "crystals" which looked like ordinary stones, she said, and I was teaching her to pick them up and move them using only her energy. There were other people in the room, and they gathered in amazement at what she was doing. After the display was over, and the crowd dispersed, she sang to me the above quoted verses of the Al Stewart song, and to this day I cannot hear it without the whoosh, whoosh of energy flowing over me. The synchronicity is painful, this time, connecting to all the events surrounding the last world war. And a reminder to the gentle village folk, I must give today, that working with the shadows of our psyche is laudable, indeed, but it's still but a preparation to work on the collective psyche, just when you think you're done. The strength we tap in to doing our own shadow work is just the beginning....

Are you sure? If immortality is real then nothing can keep us from it.
Nothing.
It's the quality of our beingness that is being conditioned during our brief and fleeting meat suit limitation.
And in that sense every here and now action is part of a preparation ...wait a minute....

It's the personality that wants anything, from immortality to a grilled cheese sandwich. It's that which is by it's very nature transient that is grasping onto anything. So, being in tune with the desire for it, we are identifying with the very part that's separated itself from it. The understanding that it's already there, that by it's own it's always been and always will, that's another part that gets by just fine, not holding on to a thing, isn't separated but then again isn't always recognized as the foundation over which the personality is built. So, it's the wanting that takes us away from the recognition that it's there in the first place. Is that better?

So, being in tune with the desire for it, we are identifying with the very part that's separated itself from it. The understanding that it's already there, that by it's own it's always been and always will, that's another part that gets by just fine, not holding on to a thing, isn't separated but then again isn't always recognized as the foundation over which the personality is built. So, it's the wanting that takes us away from the recognition that it's there in the first place. Is that better?

Sounds good to me and I can see now where you were coming from. Thanks.
Your communication skills look pretty ok to me, on the whole.
You are your own judge, in the final analysis.
Not lumping people together is my main concern especially when it comes to describing personality.
I stay away from the "we" word as much as possible
although like most here in the Village I agree that we are all connected at a deeper level.
But when it comes to expressing opinions I can think of all sorts of different viewpoints.
I know quite a few that find the idea of immortality so scary that all they wish for is a delete button,
followed by a registry cleaner.

One thought that struck me, which I read somewhere long ago:
What makes the mosaic, it's image, or the wall to which it is cemented?

New 'Doomsday Preppers' Show Highlights Extreme Survivalists

This was posted recently on Yahoo.com news... http://news.yahoo.com/doomsday-preppers-show-highlights-extreme-survivalists-214404285.html
LiveScience.com – 16 hrs ago
It's better to be safe than sorry, which is why FEMA guidelines recommend stockpiling your pantry with three days worth of food in case of a natural disaster. Meanwhile, Paul Range and Gloria Haswell have enough in store to feed 22 people for 15 years — as well as enough guns, bullets and bug-out vehicles to wage a small war. The couple occupies nine steel shipping containers arranged in a castle formation outside Floresville, Texas. A system of windmills and solar panels powers the compound, and human body waste is used to generate methane, which serves as their cooking fuel.

It's all because they are worried Earth's magnetic poles might switch.

Range and Haswell are among those profiled in "Doomsday Preppers," a weekly TV documentary premiering on the National Geographic Channel tomorrow (Feb. 7) at 9 p.m., with a bonus episode at 10 p.m. following the premiere. The show takes viewers on a shocking tour of modern-day apocalypse paranoia, from Range, Haswell and their steel fortress to a Californian who has trained himself to survive off garden weeds in preparation for a major earthquake.

While the show may highlight a few of America's most extreme cases, apocalypticism — fear of the end of the world as we know it — is at a historic high point, according to Lorenzo DiTommasso, chairman and associate professor of religion at Concordia University in Montreal. The phenomenon has experienced peaks and valleys throughout history. Right now, "we're in a peak, and have been for the last 40 years," DiTommasso said.

Fear of nuclear obliteration started the rise in apocalypticism, but today, the main factor driving its continuing spread is the rapid exchange of ideas — especially scary ideas — on the Web.

"There's no single more important explanation as to the presence of apocalyptic thought in the world today than the development of the Internet," DiTommasso told Life's Little Mysteries, a sister site to LiveScience. "You can learn everything you want about the flipping of the magnetic poles on the Internet. And you can find out related information that would lead you to also believe the poles are going to flip because of, for instance, the presence of a previously unknown planet in the solar system." [Believers In Mysterious Planet Nibiru Await Earth's End]

Indeed, doomsday preppers Range and Haswell have come to believe that the coming magnetic pole reversal will cause a sudden shift in the continents, triggering enormous earthquakes and rapid climate change. They've learned just enough to inspire a total lifestyle transformation — despite the scientific consensus that the chance of a magnetic pole reversal happening in their lifetimes is vanishingly small.

Others profiled in the show fear a total financial collapse, an electro-magnetic pulse caused by a solar flare taking down the national power grid,terrorist attacks and so on. "People come to apocalypticism for different reasons, and once they're there they share a set of assumptions that defines the group: First, they believe there is something dreadfully wrong with the world, and it's not likely to be fixed. The second part is they believe an imminent change is coming about," DiTommasso said.

He estimates that more than half of the world population believes in some sort of apocalyptic theory, from the Christian, Jewish and Muslim belief in the return of God (called the Rapture in Christianity), to the belief in pseudo-scientific theories like a coming planetary collision. The current peak in doomsday fears, DiTommasso said, "speaks to the prevalence of doomsday preppers today."

Personally, DiTommasso believes apocalypticists are correct in recognizing that there are grave threats in the world, but they're misguided as to what forms these will take. "You don't have to expect an apocalypse," he said. "Look outside — the environment is being degraded right now. Instead of standing outside, looking up for the comet that's going to obliterate the Earth, look around you."

It's happening, an awakening of such magnitude, the mass populous can no longer ignore it. Everyone knows there is 'something' amiss. Whereas I am grateful for this awakening, I'm a little sadden due to the fact that when people are massed together by negative thinking, something negative will happen for them.
I personally feel the people who are wanting a positive affect and look towards a positive future, it will happen for them. Some people need to have a rude awakening to actually experience the more positive aspects of life, the sanctity of it.
I appreciate you all here on avalon and look forward to beyond 2012 with you all!

Having differing viewpoints is of course important, for perspective, and individual expression.
Kindly allow Krishnamurti to speak for me :) :

We all go through the same mill, the same endless conflict and so on.
When one realises this, not emotionally, not as an intellectual concept but as something actual, real, true then you will not kill another human being.
You will never kill another, either verbally, or intellectually, ideologically or physically, because then you're killing yourself.
But, individuality has been encouraged all over the world.
We're not saying the individual is not important.
You are the rest of humanity. That's a great responsibility.

Hello You Eternal Immortal Angels ! : ) : ) : )

Well...gotta share some of the morning ride. Took my Granddaughter to school then took a circular ride home "around" the mid-cape area.
I am getting, stronger than ever, that I am back here partly to help 'refresh and honor' the Indian Spirit of this beautiful place they revered by my 'here and now' thoughts and actions and offerings...feeling Their Love for Mother Earth every time I follow that urging to look around and connect.
Visited a spot on the ocean at Nobscussett Harbor in the Sesuit area...as I was slowly driving away I took Old Town Road and was overwhelmed with the feeling I was in a Holy Place...all I could feel was love and laughter and nurturing and nourishment and respect and connection...a showering of holiness came upon me...it was a beautiful area with old growth still intact all around. As I came back to 6A and headed towards home I noticed a sign that I had never seen : "Nobscussett Tribe Burial Ground". I visited and was in awe of the massive mound that was kept unscathed and protected with a granite post and iron fence all these years. Spent some wonderful moments there on the shore of Scargo Lake. Many artifacts and tokens are left there regularly by Descendants and Others. I was so happy to read that the town of Dennis voted to protect it years ago.
Love! Love! Love!

Nevermind:
The one thing, the only thing, that I did except work was hit the replay button of the following video (two videos, actually) as soon as it ended.
I credit it with being my true sustenance during that week.


I wrote almost an entire book to this one song put on replay:
ehJXBTCpYeo

Sorry, best recording I could find, but no video, too bad. Sound is not very good.


And as for angels, this is another one of my poems from Chapbook called: Me, You, Us.


AFFIRMATION


I AM AN ANGEL
I AM THE FLAME
I AM THE FIRE THAT DOES NOT YIELD
THE SWORD OF TRUTH
SHEATHED IN LOVE
THIS IS THE WEAPON I WIELD

I AM A MAN
I AM THE HEART
I AM THE MOUTH WHOSE WORDS REDEEM
NOW IS MY SOUL
FORGED IN GOD
THIS GIVES ME COURAGE TO DREAM

I AM THE WORK
I AM THE PLAY
I AM THE FORCE OF ONE IN ALL
SUN IS TO MOON
LOVE TO LIFE
THIS IS THE ESSENCE I CALL

I AM THE NEW
I AM THE OLD
I AM THE CHANGE THAT WILL UPLIFT
THE YEARS OF PAIN
TURNED TO HOPE
THIS THEN IS TRULY GOD’S GIFT

Ulli, you said all the Eagle icons were taken but it's okay, I invite you ~ to fly and soar high for a few moments anyway. It is a beautiful day in Sandpoint, Idaho. The first day of full sunshine in awhile. New breeze, a few clouds floating by. All is well.

We can all take a rest from our judgements about others and strife ~ even if it's only for a few moments of our "in the now" time.

This came in my mailbox today from David Wodtke aka Pinetree. Thought it was fun enough to share with the village. I'd like to enable all of us to fly today and everyday we wish...

With Love, Gratitude and Respect for All Life.

"Yes, I am Bald Eagle, keeper of the Sky and guardian of the Earth.
I am here to humbly offer illumination of Spirit that gently raises your vision
so that you see your Earth walk more clearly from a higher perspective.

It is no mystery why so many People struggle during these times of darkness.
The turbulent times and tenuous predicaments have become overwhelming to many.
The Great Mystery is how Light returns to Your Life the moment you open to the
Grace of Creation!

Dive into the ocean of emotion you feel and the rough waves of mental turmoil.
Beneath the surface all is One, still, connected.

My feather is a gift to you for cleansing the Clutter within your Mind and Heart.

The Light that pervades the World awakens You now.
Little by little the people open their eyes and see things as they are.
This is a Source of great Beauty and nourishment.
But the first glimpse may be a fearful glimpse of the Ugliness
that People have projected onto the movie screen of Life.

This is why your Passion may burn at first.
Pain is a path chosen by many People to motivate their Walk.
When you feel these Creative pangs fly low, then dive
and dip yourself three times in the Water of Life.
Reconnect to Earth Mother.
Then your Being IS the silent embrace of all that Is:
Earth and Sky, Fire and Water.

Follow this Wisdom of the Grandmothers into the dark of the Moon
and begin to feel a new Radiance.
With Much Love my Wings
Enfold you All Ways.


~*~

Thank You Eagle. Much Love, Pine Tree

Eaglespirit Dream.

I was sitting on the sofa with an eagle on me, over my legs. A nervous eagle like a cat, moving and sometimes biting my hand.

Then, the eagle dissapears and i saw a child (may be 7 years old, blond, with many freckles ...). I grab their hands and i say to him.
- "Eaglespirit, Eaglespirit ...". 6 or 7 times.

Sometimes, dreams bring information not only for oneself... :)

I would love to make a suggestion....can we all try and do a team effort here,
and for a twenty four hour period SHOWER our beloved, cherished and revered Modwiz with sprinkles, bubbles, bullets and bombs of unconditional LOVE
after which he will be asked to report back to us if the thoughts and feelings that arose within him during this period would have him ask for a second helping.

Or perhaps God forbid, the result is that he will be storming out of the Village, hair and cloak flying?
Whatever the result, I am certain he won't object to an experiment, if it is based on empirical science?
Then we all can see if the results confirm existing theories about enabling love, or maybe new categories have to be added to the English stiff upper lip language.

Hi Dan33...cool dream...what does it mean to YOU ? : )
...
Sharing this current write up by Montalk on "Thrive" from another site I frequent...pretty good, imho!
---
I just watched Thrive and it was a good overview of the problem and some possible solutions. Without a few additions, however, the kind of world view it advocates doesn’t guarantee a positive outcome, since it could just as easily divert onto an alien takeover scenario in the end. But it’s a good start.

To be complete, this vid (or at least the website) would have to get into the following areas:

That the human corrupt elite aren’t at the top of the pyramid. There are non-human beings above them who are pulling the strings.

That it’s not solely the human (or even alien) manipulators who are responsible for our sorry situation, but also partly the fault of general human complacency and, more importantly, un-remediable spiritless humans who comprise a portion of the population population and act as a corrupting force on the planet. They are hired clappers for the control system.

That these spiritually handicapped humans, and here I mean natural born psychopaths, will exploit and ruin any utopia given enough time, unless people become aware that not all humans have a moral compass. For instance, they will worm their way into the leadership structure and within several generations we’ll have a repeat of the problem.

That aliens who offer us technology and assistance with a smile may not necessarily have benevolent intentions. They could be like drug dealers offering a free fix, just to get us hooked.

That taking down the current corrupt human elite system is only half the battle, the other half is taking on the alien control system that would try to spring up afterwards.

If those matters are added to what was stated in “Thrive” then we’d have the proper foundation to secure a positive future. Otherwise, as I always say, it could become a road to hell paved with good intentions.

I know from my research into the alien disinformation campaign, that one of the deception lines on the table is to do away with the current corrupt elite and use their demise as a springboard for an even worse alien world order.

All we have to do, then, is indeed do away with the corrupt system we have now, thus the solutions offered in “Thrive” are in the right direction, but when we get to the point of alien contact, to be very careful about their intentions and the long-term consequences of agreements we make regarding them.

As for the presentation, from an effectiveness point of view I felt that the UFO part should have come later, or been left out completely. On the other hand, Foster seemed like he was going chronologically according to how he stumbled upon everything, and in that case it makes sense. Likewise, in my early teens I was first into the UFO subject, then got into free energy and antigravity research, then came upon inventors getting suppressed, then investigated the whole NWO / corrupt elite stuff, and only at the end of it all did it connect back up with aliens when I realized some factions were at the top of the NWO control pyramid. That’s largely the same sequence he portrayed in Thrive, minus the final part about aliens running the show.

While the positioning of the UFO segment may not have been optimal or complete, it nonetheless made the presentation unique; otherwise it would have been just another Zeitgeist rehash. I’d say it was a commendable effort overall, but neither an optimal nor perfect fit for the intended goal. It makes a better foundation than ceiling, meaning people who are introduced to fringe knowledge via such documentaries should go beyond them when ready. In that sense, Thrive is what it is, and better that it’s out there than not.

That is the collective (and the individual) getting ready to go clear. Like Sean Connery said in 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', "An old tiger is at it's most dangerous, just before it goes down." (He was referring to himself)

Similarly, just before one clears their ego, the level of pressure and internally derived retort into and at the world -is at it's highest levels. The world has to go insane to clear it's self and the insanity will be at it's worst, just before it ends. The ego will not go quietly into the night.

It is also a full moon, so we are peaking in our various ways and within our current set of issues. If it was a Friday, I'd say that the bar fights would be fairly intense and at high levels. But it is only a Tuesday.

It is night time in Idaho and quiet. Lovely day. At 5:30 ~ very dark out now. I ventured out into the forums and came back quickly. Landmines, darkness, shadows and this was in the "light" section. All the rafters seem ablaze and even Kerry is taking flack.

It's much happier here in the village. Paul Celt shared this joke with me today and just for laughs, I'd like to share it with you. You don't have to be a senior citizen to appreciate its humor but it helps!

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day, Mary (my wife) and I went into town and visited a shop. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and I said, "Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a "pig."

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So Mary called him a "Bean Head." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first one.
Then he started writing more tickets.

This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired……..

Here and now...Luna is rising full over the mountain, Venus is absolutely brilliant, beckoning me to look skyward for awhile longer. I had forgotten so much! I am remembering gradually and suddenly, incrementally, why I chose to come to this amazing planet. Now, it's how to integrate skillfully this remembrance into my walk here. Re-membering, embodying, implementing, evolving...the unfoldment of my destiny. There is a deep cost for this knowing.

My beloved feline has been gone all day...a familiar pang of anxiety over his absence (and potential loss) arises in my solar plexus, is duly noted then released. Trust.

Feeling like a polarity addict today, seeking my 'fix' online. It's not working any more. Perhaps I am outgrowing the illusion? Balancing on a dimensional tightrope, I am trembling inwardly. Courting the Light, acknowledging the darkness. Scouting the edges and perimeter of our shared human experience and predicament, this density of form. Vida loca. It truly is as the Buddha said, beautiful and dreadful. Greetings polarity. Welcome courage and insouciance. Out into the moonlight I go, humbled, in a state of 'radical astonishment'.
