Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

I have noticed it before...
many times, actually...
living in Costa Rica has shown me that each year around the anniversary of a major earthquake there is a major earth tremor.
Without fail.
Now it happened in Japan as well.

Whatever is on the mass mind will then happen.
Where focus goes, energy flows.
Consciousness is the source..fear attracts that which is feared.

No wonder the PTB want to keep people's minds under control.
But now they are losing it...

Newspapers are on the way out...
Internet will replace TV more and more and

that means people will decide what pages to go to
instead of having it in their faces 24/7.

Doncha juss luvvit???

Been missing Tom this week.
Thanks Tom

"Life is my teacher, Life is my guide,
I must spread my wings in order to fly!"

Fits my week perfectly already

[Marianne]

Me too, Astrid. I was hoping you'd post the Pele Report today!

[ulli]

It's a rainy warm day. We are breaking warm weather records in the area. Strange indeed, but not complaining.

I felt my wings last night. Hard to explain in words. I was very grounded but yet floating and very envelopping. I found it hard to have my friend breakdown in my arms. Yet, I am grateful to be there for her. I feel I would not make the same choices if it were me in her situation, but then, I am not, so I can't really know. Live and let live is not an easy path. They told her that even with the chemo, they will not save her breast... I'm keeping her in my envelopping thoughts today.

Day 6. I'll pass on the salami sandwich (would pass anyway, I'm a vegetarian... soon to be vegan ?)

@ Ulli: I vote for Sagastan too. I like the sound of it.

@ Starsha: sorry, not close to London, Ontario (closer to Ottawa).

Love to All.

Sagastan is a province in Iran. Not sure if I want that association. We might end up getting nuked.
Nor do I want any more sagas.

I want a green city, with all sorts of gardens and trees. That's what I want.
If one has to build up into the air for shortage of land it could look a bit like this:

Woke up to rain here after a glorious few days weather wise
My veggies will get a nice soaking .

Wind also great for clearing and bringing in new energies
Yesterday we started on some power objects that were
directed by spirit to make so creative juices are
flowing again wth some help from higher friends
Feels amazing to be playing in the sandbox again

Election fraud in Mississippi. I don't know that anything will be said or done, but there is no way RP gets less than ten percent when everybody I knew was going to vote for him. Even my mom, for crying out loud. Hmmm...

I wonder what brand the voting machines were....

rVTXbARGXso

[astrid]

Why i never vote, the whole thing is a joke,
and i refuse to partake in such charades.

The person they have chosen will still win regardless.

Here in Aus we have a classic example, we currently have a PM that
none of us voted for.

Dirty dealings behind closed doors, and suddenly we had a new PM.

Sagastan is a province in Iran. Not sure if I want that association. We might end up getting nuked.

:eek: I honestly did not know that ! (but now I do). Please cancel my vote, nukes are not good.

Thank you Astrid for the video. I've watched Tom
before, but now I see him again I have to remind
myself to watch his videos more often.

Everything we have suppressed will come out this time :eek:
Why have I always been so very good at suppressing things ? :doh:
A lot of balls will fly into the air I have held under water for so long :biggrin:

Well today i managed to work up the courage to release one of my own songs written for my little girl, besides all the chaos around us i focused on something positive, this is not a promotion on my part as it is for me here now whats happening for me, i am also trying to promote the song for the biggest childrens hospital here in Ireland, here is the link which is for anyone to watch, something to lighten the mood and awaken our humanity and the beauty of life that we all experience at one time or another. It took alot for me to release it into the real world .

¤=[Post Update]=¤

here is the link http://youtu.be/I70VPIV4rok

[astrid]

Well done Lone, congrats.
But can't see linky to click on??

Update.. there it is :)

More creative outpourings, bring it on i say.

Yesterday i was working with Birch tree branches,
and i went out just then to get some more only to find that
over night the wind was kind enough to
deliver me a branch from my Peach tree,
so Peach wood it is today.

Thank you wind, thank you Peach tree.
Much gratitude for your offerings.

I love Tom :hippie:

My mind has been racing, makes it hard to stay in the Here and Now. I've been crocheting for the past few weeks, I enjoy it very much but it doesn't occupy my mind very well... Going off in too many directions...will look at Tom's site for whatever breathing he is talking about. Miss my laptop OODLES...and the ability to snuggle up in bed and be on the computer...and the ability to do any kind of meditation I find. At the moment, computer is not situated in a manner conducive to relaxing at the same time.

The first rosebud is showing it's color...hot pink. Never had a hot pink before, tis exciting! Emma made me walk with her outside so she could show me new flowers blooming by a tree...they are ORCHIDS! Ahhhhhhhh! That took my excitement level up about 15 notches! Wow, that is so cool. I did not expect it would be fun to see what would grow here, what someone else had planted....but it kinda is :)

See? Can't keep my mind from going this direction and that. Sigh. Much love everybody,

An image for the day which I stumbled upon.
Ms. Helena Blavatsky from the late 19th century,
posing with...a few supposed "Masters"?
Now in the midst of scanning her seminal (controversial) book "Isis Unveiled".
Vida loca! The Rosicrucian world view seems
to still be at play here on terra Earth and beyond.

And yet...something new and unexpected this way comes
from without and within, from above and below...
Ancient impulses of our human evolution along with ascension of Gaia (c'est vrais?)
are powerfully meeting the fast shifting solar/lunar (galactic/cosmic) wave of energies
in the here and now.

A new Sun it is said by some of our elders. And here we are. Now. Embedded, so it has seemed,
in the thick of a new century. In a shifting space and time and density/dimension?.
And yet...we are sovereign immortal beings in a morphing
third density timeline(s)?. ("free in the tearing wind" of a new paradigm?)

At this absolutely pivotal point in the plethora of
sacred cosmic cycles of time which are spiraling and ending?...
and beginning anew...
we here in the forming global villages are more clearly playing out our unique roles/missions,
consciously doing the work that must be done, taking responsibility for our walk and our word.
The emergent 'ground crew 3.0' as I see it.
Actively observing and acting locally, energetically, lovingly upon
all that is rushing, hurtling towards us and all sentient life around us,
attempting to live balanced (equanimously),
holding the center with integrity, poise, and courage
amidst the coming chaos of the fall of
yet another empire. Will we collectively learn this time, in time?

Si.

Wow ... rather not try to remember how many years since I have heard that song.

... and I even liked it :)

[Calz]

Okay ... since we are visiting ages gone by (here and now) and songs that reflect such ...

Freshman year in highschool ... and there is a story there.

My friend who introduced this to me had an ear cut off ... yes.

Schoolmates poured their nonsense on him as Johnny Cash's tune "My Name Is Sue" (how do you do ... look up the lyrics if you don't know ... has to do with a missing ear).


Anyway ... *to me* ... this is his song and I have always thought of it that way even after ... um ... about 40 years now.

I have posted this before ... perhaps even here (and now).

Sue me (my name is Sue) if I have. :boxing:

The squirrels and I erupted into actual warfare, direct, with intent. Their return shot across my bow, was to eat through my internet line within 3 hours of this situational change.

The roof here was JUST fixed and they got in again. I finally got into my 'No more Mr nice guy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0YrXjeRSoE)' clothes, and then they returned the favour.

Trying to be in a happy place. There is a place I visit in my heart where I feel truly loved. I visit this place not when I am feeling down particularly, but when I want that feeling in the Here and Now. Unconditional love in the Here and Now comes from within and without, in nothing but in everything. Many (of you) can access this at will, this all and everything expressed by possibly higher selves or entities/beings/other existences that are, indeed, very real...but these sources are illusive to me. Something is urging me on once again, and once again I am eager and willing but do not have direction. So, in this moment, in my Here and Now...

Oh, it's okay meeradas, I don't feel too left out exactly. In fact, my fear of the unknown is probably one culprit of my current status. I feel befuzzled, bombarded, kind of confused.

Last night I had a nightmare. Pure terror. But I learnt a lot about how my subconscious operates.
I have always investigated the ET agenda from the positive angle...i.e. Dr. Boylan where you are only allowed to use the term Star Visitor, and Dr. Greer. I now can see the merit in their approach.

Last night I fell asleep while listening to a talk on the "evil" ET reality which I had found somewhere here on the forum.
The talk was rather long and was still going on an hour after I had fallen asleep.
They were discussing ET crimes of the highest order and my subconscious was picking it all up and created the dream
Where I was in a huge mansion, at night, alone, and there was no light, and I was feeling these ETs right behind my back.
Whichever way I turned they were behind my back, and plotting to kill me. I felt sheer terror. At one level I knew this was being caused by the talk I was listening to. Finally I remembered that somewhere my husband was in this mansion...a room upstairs somewhere. All I wanted was to find the room and crawl into bed with him to feel sheltered.
So I was running through corridors that were lit by faint lights coming through the windows and this was not moonlight but came from the ET craft parked above the house.
When I woke up the video was still going and I heard more of the conversation, still insisting on these evil ETs coming after us. The iPad had been on my bed and was right behind me as I was turned the other way.
I'm wondering now what this dream would have felt like if I had been asleep on my left and faced the iPad.
Would I have made iContact?
Anyway, on waking up I knew again in an instant that I was safe. And that the discussion and even experience of evil has to do with the minds that perceive the evil...that they haven't yet taken full control of their own minds.
Just as I was having the nightmare and allowed their agenda to subliminally control my mind. Next time I won't be listening to videos like that when I'm tired. My mind is made up. Don't confuse me with the "facts"...;)

[eaglespirit]

"Just the facts, ma'am"

Yep, they are just facts...and methinks they will no longer apply to an endless timeless higher vibration of the now.

Stay tuned to the unraveling of it all : )

Strange days, surreal nights filled with dream. Inhabiting an altered space
where rapid change is coming from all directions, primarily from within...
undefined, (and impossible to speak of) cathartic energies are mingling and rising.
Challenge and opportunity for ingenuity in every moment
and encounter of the day. All is in process. Beauty is all around us.
Ebb and flow. In breath...out breath of our Mother.
Flight and rest. Kinetic and potential. The work and play.

Experiencing a definite measure of (uncharacteristic) hope~fulness lately,
there are more of us who are poised and positioned well
than we know, especially the younger generations of souls.
There is much good, skillful, soul work going on all around us,
from the ground up, horizontally, not hierarchically.
Seeds and crops are being planted, organic/bio-dynamic agriculture is thriving in these mountains,
children of the new Earth are being born, alternative
shelter is being creatively built...collective and awakening cooperative efforts
are taking shape. The compost has been tumbled. Light amidst the dark.

The pregnant pause...witness.

We tremble with anticipation before flight,
where and when shall we land?

Perhaps as Tony (Pie) would say,
"Lean into the sharp points".
Lean in to the winds.

Flight and rest. Blessed be all.

Yep, they are just facts...and methinks they will no longer apply to an endless timeless higher vibration of the now.

Stay tuned to the unraveling of it all : )

Ok, here is to "unraveling"....

We had a thunderstorm last night... in March ! :shocked: I've always liked thunderstorms... a mixed feeling of deep respect and wonder. The day is grey, a bit of rain, and very mild. Nice time to clean up a storm in the house.

Day 8 and doing fine.

"The eagles only participate in the struggle against evil when they choose to."

We know that it is possible to ask favors of the eagles. Radagast asks the eagles for help, leading inadvertently to the rescue of Gandalf from Orthanc. Gandalf asks the eagles to fly to Mt. Doom to rescue Frodo and Sam. Galadriel is actually said to be able to command the eagles:

"Do not let me fall!" I gasped, for I felt life in me again. "Bear me to Lothlórien!"

"That is indeed the command of the Lady Galadriel who sent me to look for you, he answered." (II, 135)

Yeah I agree.
But the old sage who has recovered his childlike qualities is (to me anyway) a better choice
than an actual child
who hasn't yet been through the mill called Earth.

Does anyone see the irony here, that I am in the world's slowest Internet country which means I can't watch a single youtube without one minute pauses for every ten seconds of play, and yet my thread has more youtubes being posted on it than any other?
Perfect example of how strong feelings of frustration only attract more of the exact thing you don't need.

I guess this is a sign to get off the Internet and enjoy this little island for what it has to offer.
1inMany's flowers gave me the hint.
But I must also say, the little bit I saw of Meeradas's Tesla Coil duet blew my mind.
Why did I get the feeling that something major will come from that? Some major good.

Foggy morning in the valley. Thinking of the nice spring greens to come and flowers... (thanks 1). At the rhythm it's going, the snow will be all gone by next week. Hmmm. What about the crow storm ? Maybe it's moved to another area. :confused:

Day 9. I'm doing things backward again. From what I read the first days are the hardest then it gets easier. For me, the first days where easy and are getting harder at the end. Makes me think that in my life, I'm always starting things and have a hard time to finish. I will get this one to the finish line.

Have a wonderful day!

Lasers Can Be Used to Steer Lightning In Mid-Strike

Rebecca Boyle PopSci
Tue, 13 Mar 2012 13:53 CDT

Laser light can not only trigger lightning but redirect it, causing it to strike in the same place over and over, according to new research. This means lasers could serve as lightning rods. Because that would be awesome.

Laser lightning rods have been a research subject for several decades, because they could trigger lightning and guide it to a specific place. Firing a laser would create an ionized channel in the atmosphere, which could conduct the lightning to the ground. Laser lightning rods could be an alternative to lightning rockets, according to Aurlien Houard of the Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée in Palaiseau, France, a co-author of this study. Lightning rockets can apparently trigger a lightning strike by bringing a conductive material, like some type of salts, toward the static layer of a thunderhead. But a laser would be easier to control than a rocket.

A team of French researchers set out to test how well lasers can harness and control lightning. They sent a laser beam past a spherical electrode toward an oppositely charged flat electrode. The laser stripped away the outer electrons from the atoms in its way, ionizing the pathway between the electrodes and creating a plasma filament - like lab lightning - that channeled an electrical discharge from the flat electrode to the spherical one.

Then the team added a longer, pointed electrode to their set of electrode shapes and watched what happened. Left to its own devices, lightning follows the path of least resistance, striking the first thing it comes across - in a thunderstorm, that's the tallest thing, and in this experiment, it's the nearest thing. With no laser lightning rod, the discharge predictably hit the tall pointed electrode first. But when the researchers used the laser filament to guide it, the electrical discharge followed the ionized path and hit the spherical electrode instead.

The team found they could pull this off even after the discharge was already on its way, meaning they could divert the path of lightning. The research appears in the American Institute of Physics journal AIP Advances.

Learning a lot after coming out of my fast. Going into and getting through a few of my layers and am receiving better. Decided to go to Tom's website and read up since I have been having trouble with the connections on the videos. Decided to post an excerpt from his site and the link. Trust Trust Trust Trust and Love Love Love Love

The storm blew in and it's a doozy perfect day for curling up with a good book and a hot cup of tea.




Astrology Forecast for March, April, and May 2012:

“We’re captive on a merry-go-round of time…..”
The months of March, April and May will feel much like this merry-go-round of time is picking up speed by the day! If you recall the experience, it becomes more challenging (and more exciting for some) to hold on the faster the merry-go-round spins! In addition to the centrifugal force throwing us away from the center we may also imagine the horses on the merry-go-round that go up and down and up and down….. perhaps fun for the kids but this may not feel like so much fun when it comes to your bank account, relationships, and future ambitions. Just what is that “something” that is creating, maintaining, and increasing the speed, why, and what will be the result(s).

Tom's Pele' video reports are a real treat for me.... he's a gem and with Merc retro, I try to go with the flow.... computer going haywire, delays..... sometimes can't get words out or change my mind about writing anything.... time speeding and slowing down and a lot of people all over the map -do my best to navigate it and don't sweat the small things. After my fast, dreams and events of the past.... looked at Tom's site and at some of my current transits and future transits -glad I did the fast and may do another one this spring and definitely early this summer.

Enjoying Mother Nature's last Wintery hurrah's as Spring is unfolding.

I was born during a time of powerful alignments. this means that when we have powerful earth scenarios, my chart, or 'transits' (current planetary positions compared to my birth chart) are also powerful. This is due to those alignments progressing from the time I was born, and doing their natural thing. which is re-aligning, shift and and moving about. But, since I 'hit the highlights' when I was born, those motions work out for me as well.

The last example is that when the US south went through a tornado binge, march 3rd, that same day was the 'bottom' of my chart, regarding transits for the year.

When we (local to me) had two storms of decent power a few days back, I was living 'right in the middle of it' in mood and astrological transits.

So when the power, energy wise, is heightened, so am I.

This is what I mean when I say that 'I tend to hug the earth pretty hard'. It is completely unavoidable. This took years to understand, for..who would, if not informed about these things?

A hermit emerged from his mountain bird sanctuary
and ventured into the city to partake (as the seller) in a distinctly American
weekend activity...the yard sale! We the People are hardcore
about stuff!...George Carlin came to mind today. (Damn) Stuff.

At one point there were several beings all milling amongst
an eclectic mix of burdensome, non-essential (yet very cool)
antique goods...talking amongst themselves about the state of the economy.
I listened raptly and observed. A woman picks up a book on organic gardening,
looks through it, decides to purchase it. As she is about to pay me,
she finds a piece of paper with (my) writing on it in the book,
takes it out and reads aloud the following quote (for all to hear):

"...and in the eyes of the people
there is the failure...and in the eyes
of the hungry there is a growing wrath.
In the souls of the people the grapes
of wrath are filling and growing heavy,
growing heavy for the vintage."

Here and now I am in Ohio ( from Texas ) visiting my daughter on her birthday ( I am trying to move here but the flesh is so weak ) everything else, all the conspiracy, and truths the horrors around the world fade into background noise when I hold her.
the greatest moment in life is the one you are living right now. Embrace it and run.

She is 6 and the only good thing I have ever done in my life.

here and now... i had the opportunity to sit outside in the country this evening and look at our beautiful sky. it was the most beautiful site that i have seen in a while. i did not know that there were so many stars. living in a small town, the ambient light kills off the sky line; i am so thankful for the time to view. venus and jupiter were quite visible. very bright. outstanding.

Cool sidenote:
The 'vid' actually uses some footage i shot on their last tour [not the clowns].
I humbly feel honoured.

Yes, it's a facebook link, but a public one;
there's no need to sign up or whatever.

Who's still not feeling good about it, use this detour (http://hidemyass.com/proxy/#), to "hide your moke" from 'em.

Thanks again for all support.

I was spending quite a bit of time on the forum just now reading threads about Avalon, and Buddhism.
I'm fascinated by the way communication breaks down again and again and then see the efforts being made to recover a degree of mutual understanding. All we have is words. But wait, we Villagers have more than just words.
Or images or videos.
We have loving energies which we share with each other. So many of us have witnessed it.
If only some of the members out there could feel the positive energies directed their way too, instead of the negative ones.

I feel many people are resenting that life isn't perfect. When we breathe in we get life giving oxygen, but also carbon dioxyde which we have to exhale.
So it is with everything.
Unfortunately unless they learn the secrets of renewal, as demonstrated by nature and the seasons, many will find themselves sitting on an emotional landfill soon. Our Village is always vigilant about keeping things pristine and orderly.
Even after visitors have come and left their sorrows we clean it all up again.
Starting over.

Sleepy time for me
Night all

[Samsara]

Another foggy morning. Many flocks of Canadian geese arriving, their quacking sounds are a joy to hear. We had another thunderstorm last evening. I stepped out to watch. What struck me was that there was no wind, not a single tree branch was moving. I thought of Carmody as the house shook for a while. Powerfull. Sirens were ringing all over town after. Then the quietness took over.

The weather girl is calling for 20 C today. Now, that's a first for me in March. I am debating to go at the "fête des semences" (seed fair ?) today or not. I'm feeling like I just want to spend the day outside and watch if the hyacinth flowers I planted with my grandson last fall are pointing their head. Go with the flow.

Day 10. Looks like I'm doing this. With the easing-out starting tomorrow, I will be chewing again by Wednesday. Thank you all for your support.

“May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.”

Was reading Another Bob on Buddhism. How Buddhist teachings deny all phenomena.
This is not only in Buddhist teachings.
I'm finding more and more that turning one's back on religion just because one doesn't like the organized aspect of it is depriving oneself of gems.
So I remembered a passage from the Bible which states the same thing, basically.
Where it says "be in the world, but not of it"...
I always took that to mean the same thing as Buddhist denial of phenomenal 'reality'.

Religions have so much more in common that most people seem to realize.
The Baha'i teachings say the same. In a letter written to Napoleon III Baha'u'llah wrote:

"Rejoicest thou in that thou rulest a span of earth, when
the whole world ... is worth as much as the black in the eye of a dead ant?
Abandon it unto such as have set their affections upon it, and turn thou unto Him Who is the Desire of the world.
Whither are gone the proud and their palaces?
Gaze thou into their tombs, that thou mayest profit by this example, inasmuch as We made it a lesson unto every beholder.
Were the breezes of Revelation to seize thee, thou wouldst flee the world, and turn unto the Kingdom,
and wouldst expend all thou possessest, that thou mayest draw nigh unto this sublime Vision"

Watched the light of Dawn break through the low drifting snow clouds and the birds scurry around for grains and seeds in the grass covered by the snow. Built up a good hot fire in the stove this morning. The winter weather up in the mountains is a blessing for the life of the creatures and the forest...... I view it as all working together.

Ulli- coming from a background of split religions with-in my family -the Irish side split and half are Catholic and the other half are Protestant and my father's side are Southern Baptists...... I chose to find my own way..... and I do agree with you; much can be gained from having an open mind and at least respect the differences and similarities of the religions and realized ones that come back to walk the way; teach and give away what they have gained and the Creator has given them -to the people. Whether they lead the world or are a homeless person......

I will say this about the forum..... and directed to no one in particular -and which I could say i am also responsible for doing -going into our heads and coming from ego is not a safe place and only serves to cut us off from everyone and the Creator.

Grateful for the Here & Now...... I feel that all the Creator asks of us is Presence......when we have true Presence theen we know the Divine spark is in all -a blade of grass to the furthest stars of the Cosmos..... that we are all connected from the micro to the macro. Reverence for all of life is natural then.

Have a beautiful day

My computer is still on blitz.....got it running -but still no video....have about 5 pages of the H & N thread videos that i really want to watch -lol going to call my computer guy Monday..... hopefully we can fix it via remote and it doesn't need to go into the shop.

Here and now I am in Ohio ( from Texas ) visiting my daughter on her birthday ( I am trying to move here but the flesh is so weak ) everything else, all the conspiracy, and truths the horrors around the world fade into background noise when I hold her.
the greatest moment in life is the one you are living right now. Embrace it and run.

She is 6 and the only good thing I have ever done in my life.

I know nothing of you save a very few posts ... but feel safe in suggesting you are being just a tad hard on yourself there.

We all have great beauty inside and are capable of the most marvelous and loving acts.

That said, being blessed twice with healthy and happy children growing up, I understand and can identify with the awe they inspire. While the feeling of love can take it to a "higher level" don't discount all you have done in those 6 years to make it so.

Greetings from Sandpoint, Idaho ~ where it is still raining, snowing and very much showing signs of a continuing Winter ~ nearly at it's end but not quite done yet.

Amazing how much of the Bounty of Heaven is upon us here in the forests.



Idaho being rather mountainous not such a stretch for some springtime snow.

Here in the midwest plains we have had nearly a week of record high temps ... sometimes into the 80s. Very odd (but what we have come to expect during the last few years of changing weather patterns).

Thanks for the vid and happy to see your presence here (and now) :yo:

What about those who state the opposite and don't just hint but loudly insist on death being the end

This very world is perfectly complete. Nothing need be added, nothing turned away. There is only God!

The mere appearance of anything at all is a perpetual mystery of pure astonishment and delight! These ever-shifting props that provide the sense of time and change are nothing but toys that the Great One juggles in the air!

How thrilling to realize we are That! The synchronous majesty of our extended being is the infinite body of the Beautiful One, the One who is living us now, dreaming us now as the very miracle that we are.

Any moon-lit leaf is nothing but another winking eye of God. Every wandering breeze rustling trees -- the amorous breath of our own Divinity.

Every sigh, every breath, every beat of heart is an orchestrated choir of rare random rapture. Every molecule of light amazes itself at its own inexplicable appearance. Even as we sleep and dream our sensitive thoughts conduct a symphony of strange delight.

This body here is a play of Love. This mind -- an echo of a mystery fashioned out of Love. God is Love, and Love must Love.

Every blink of our eyes is the grace-bestowing regard of the original Lover, through whose glance all are blessed, healed, given and taken -- redeemed beyond any need for redemption.

The chains that seem to bind us here are merely our reluctance to forgive the non-existing past. No letting go, no sad regret, no hopeful anticipation. Everything just as it is – this moment!

Each particle of light swirling in the wake of our casual passing ignites the birth of galaxies -- we are made of God!

There is one Presence, one Power, alive in all the universe. There are not billions of lives here on Earth, but one Life, being lived through uncountable expressions.

We are all perfect projections of that one Presence we call God. We are not a separate individual having personal experiences. We are more like a living experience arising in impersonal consciousness or Awareness.

We are that changeless Divine Nature in which identities arise and dissolve as dreamy temporary thought forms. Drawn deeper into this recognition, all nature herself becomes transparent as the manifestation of the Living Source of everyone and everything.

Every motion, every breath, every thought and cessation of thought is none other than the intense enjoyment, the utter delight, the supreme pleasure of the Unspeakable!

This understanding yields the great relief of sufficiency and equanimity, regardless of whatever circumstance might momentarily seem to be the case.

There is nothing that can be done, no weeping or prayer, no method or any strategy that can be manipulated to attain this realization; no heroic gate-storming or self-generated effort will yield true satisfaction, no practice nor tinkering of attention can transcend itself.

Doing or not-doing are equally futile. All achievement is transitory. Even the most feeling submission to the Living Source at last must be seen as arising from a subtle sense of division within the body/mind.

This understanding is not an acquisition of the mind, but rather a letting go and awakening at the Heart -- our destiny and present condition -- when all that would obstruct this recognition is sacrificed at the altar of Love, for the sake of Love alone.

May all beings awaken to the bliss of their own true nature – only God!

"Is all this for real, or are we just stroking ourselves heavily?"

-Walter, in the John Carpenter film, 'Prince of Darkness'


"I had always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes when you die. First off that one second isn't one second at all, it stretches on forever like an ocean of time. For me, it was lying on my back at boy scout camp watching falling stars, and yellow leaves from the maple trees that lined our street, or my grandmother's hands and the way her skin seemed like paper, and the first time I saw my cousin Tony's brand new firebird. And Janie. And Janie. And Carolyn. I guess I could be pretty pissed-off about what happened to me, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much Beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and it's too much, and my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst, and then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold onto it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, but don't worry, you will someday."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1617384/

Regardless of the clueless review by the dude on IMDB, the show did say one thing - that I was not aware of.

That the center of a galaxy, it has been found..rotates at the same speed as the outer edges. (!!!)

There is no speed differential, the kind that we seem to think is the norm.

When I heard THAT...THEN I knew how the dimensional energetic transfer and basis was..and is. I had no idea, and the one fact...explained a lot to me, with regard to how to place things, as far as flow and connections go, in the specific.

The visualization stuff ... rather confuses and discomforts my brain. I can only take small doses.

When it comes to understanding the electric universe ... my ways of thinking are a bit of a handicap I'm afraid. C'est la vie.

Weird happenings on the Disney Channel.
On one show the people are talking about science projects. One of the people was doing a report on Nikola Tesla and mentioned how is a reincarnation of a great Atlantis scientist.
Another show talked about how the discovered some new stuff that was rebutting the theory of relativity.

On the Disney channel. Weird stuff.

was it this?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1617384/

Regardless of the clueless review by the dude on IMDB, the show did say one thing - that I was not aware of.

That the center of a galaxy, it has been found..rotates at the same speed as the outer edges. (!!!)

There is no speed differential, the kind that we seem to think is the norm.

When I heard THAT...THEN I knew how the dimensional energetic transfer and basis was..and is. I had no idea, and the one fact...explained a lot to me, with regard to how to place things, as far as flow and connections go, in the specific.

That wasn't it, but thank you very much for the link.

Last few days I have really been getting "weirded out" by a few things ... and that doesn't happen so very often.

Villagers who love each other having "something else" step in.

Mods not tending threads which seem to attack Ryan, themselves and others ... despite their presence.

Rob stepped in for Ozzie for a few years???

What???

Out of that entire argument I somehow missed that memo ...

I am also ashamed to suggest I personally have been doing great.

Perhaps it's a libra thing although astrid has been doing a massive amount of work which suggests she really should be feeling on top o dah world.


Bottom line (imho) is energy is increasing dramatically and whatever you are putting out there is being amplified dramatically.


All that you have felt meaningful regarding spiritual teachings and feel resonance for should be closely re-examined now. Hard to speculate on how long before "normal time" for contemplation is swept away by the plans of those who would aspire to capture any and all of such energy.

Yes, when I looked at that sequence of posts ... his attacks followed by my calm explanation of timezones ... I could see it was a confusing sequence.

I had replied to the timezone techie detail, easy stuff for me, without having read the rest of the thread. Then I had headed off to some good sleep (though a bit more restless than usual ... perhaps I was picking up some vibe?)

[Lisab]

Yes thankyou Paul. Like Calz I was confused seeing you post as well. Explains it for me too now.

[ThePythonicCow]

Actually, I notice that even when I do read a nasty attacking post, I often do NOT notice it until someone calls it out for me.

I tend to blank such attacks out ... probably some defense mechanism explained by my past.

If you call me, or someone else, a bastard, in nasty and unfair terms, and get the timezone wrong while doing it ... I will most likely (1) fix the timezone, then (2) take a nap, unconscious of the attack.

any debate???

[Lisab]

Energetically I've been feeling great as well. No anxiety at all. Feeling earthed and massively appreciating the feeling. Am also really noticing the fact that eating meat is disagreeing with me. I'm practically veggie anyway and only ate White meat occasionally but I would eat red meat sometimes if I was really anxious and off world, as it would ground me. Now I'm noticing if I eat any meat at all I feel.....sad! And I don't mean sad as in the ethical side ( which does sadden me of course) I mean this overwhelming feeling of sadness descends and I know it's the energy of the animal I've consumed, consuming me, if that at all makes sense. So obviously I've made the decision to eat no more meat and now if I'm ungrounded just go with it I guess. Eat more raw foods, push through and stop resisting. I get it now, I WAS resisting!

[modwiz]

Holy cowpies. (Paul not alluded to) I've heard a lot of forecast for wild stuff, but a huge front of weird has definitely blown it. Yikes! I am really glad the weather is good. 70 degrees yesterday and 74 today. Time to get an update photo of the daffodils. They'll be up in a bit.

The mods make the forum, unless they are napping. That's when others have to step in and keep guard.
My problem is that when I see someone having a melt-down I feel so terribly sorry for them.
They are so close to getting the big picture...it's really such a delicate moment. Will the horse drink the water that it has been led to?

I believe that men with military history are the most vulnerable as their circuits have been tampered with over such a long time.
I just wish that youtube had more documentaries about war veterans who can talk about the great let-down and show teen boys that all that military recruiting and training is only a lure leading to complete soulloss.

Was reading Another Bob on Buddhism. How Buddhist teachings deny all phenomena.



Greetings, Sister!

Just a note regarding your mention that Buddhism denies phenomena. That would be a misunderstanding, in that phenomena are not denied, but simply recognized as inherently empty, with no fixed or permanent characteristics. Given that, grasping and clinging are realized to be futile, and the source of dissatisfaction.

In regard to phenomena, one of the great masters, Huang Po, noted:

"Many people are afraid to empty their minds lest they plunge into the Void. They do not know that their own Mind is the void. The ignorant eschew phenomena but not thought; the wise eschew thought but not phenomena."

Not eschewing phenomena simply means, when seeing, there is just seeing, when tasting, there is just tasting. Any story added to that natural functioning is something extra, a fantasy of interpretation on perception. Iow, things are just as they are. The sky is blue, the grass is green. The wind blows, rain falls -- the mountain is a mountain, after all.

The way i did it, is I went back and re-visted every convoluted imagined and real component of note that formed my overall mind or mindset. (good word, that one- 'mindset'. Kinda speaks for itself). then, with all the filters off, I stepped into the void while being as blank as possible, from a natural state, not forced... as it, well, simply cannot be forced. It would not work, IMO and IME. I became the child again, the one that takes in everything but at the point of formation(as data), nothing more. I worked to defeat even object recognition, as even that was ultimately- projection. Then I was able to see or cognate the formation of time/space, dimensions and matter, to see them coalesce from their mandala-like forms of complex patterning, into the shapes we call normal space and matter..

At that point, when I would come out of meditating the void, I would sense the world in it's infinite patterning and then the world of standard objects and time-space would form from that.

What I'm trying to say is that one day I went 'oh'..and then dissolved the self into and as the great void. And in that moment, for example....time, for this one... became meaningless and rudderless.

A little story about my first Zen teacher, Suzuki Roshi:


One night in February of 1968, I sat among fifty black-robed fellow students, mostly young Americans, at Zen Mountain Center, Tassajara Springs, ten miles inland from Big Sur, California, deep in the mountain wilderness. The kerosene lamplight illuminated our breath in the winter air of the unheated room.
Before us the founder of the first Zen Buddhist monastery in the Western Hemisphere, Shunryu Suzuki, had concluded a lecture from his seat on the altar platform. “Thank you very much,” he said softly, with a genuine feeling of gratitude. He took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and looked at his students. “Is there some question?” he asked, just loud enough to be heard above the sound of the creek gushing in the darkness outside.
I bowed, hands together, and caught his eye.
“Hai?” he said, meaning yes.
“Suzuki –Roshi, I’ve been listening to your lectures for years,” I said, “and I really love them, and they’re very inspiring, and I know that what you’re talking about is actually very clear and simple. But I must admit I just don’t understand. I love it, but I feel like I could listen to you for a thousand years and still not get it. Could you just please put it in a nutshell? Can you reduce Buddhism to one phrase?”
Everyone laughed. He laughed. What a ludicrous question. I don’t think any of us expected him to answer it. He was not a man you could pin down, and he didn’t like to give his students something definite to cling to. He had often said not to have “some idea” of what Buddhism was.
But Suzuki did answer. He looked at me and said,

“Everything changes.”

Then he asked for another question.

I had my first out of body experience last night. It was so cool. I could feel myself start to leave my body, and immediately I would loose concentration and pop back in. This happened more than ten times throughout my meditation. I wasn't really focused on trying to leave the body it just kind of happened. IT WAS SOOOO COOL.

Just wanted to share. Hope everyone is well.

[Guest]

Thank you for the link PL and the good results you are receiving from it. Appreciate it.


I've been taking the butter oil, along with the skate liver oil, and I gotta say, it's pretty rockin'. Most notable is the body's increased ability to heal itself, which has become ridiculously fast, and which I take as a very good sign.

Had dreams about grand trines and crosses last night -in the dreams I was walking up what looked like city blocks and at each block I came to either had a grand trine design or a cross etched on the concrete pathways.

Awoke to grey skys and more snow -one of the strangest and longest Winters I have experienced here.....lingering. Looking forward to Spring weather my favorite time of the year.
Built a fire very early and made a good hot vegetable soup for dinner.

Hi All,
I've been popping in, but I have no words lately.
Big storm brewing here...I grew up in tornado alley too, and all this hullaballoo doesn't scare me. Or more accurately it did not...but it worries me a little now as I am no longer in a sturdy 4 bedroom brick home with plenty of "safe" hidey holes. Eegads...one person told me to go to the ditch up the road (really?), but I'm guessing driving to the hospital or something...of course, the storm will be coming from that direction. Hmmm.
I'm sure all will be fine...
Much Love,

[1inMany]

Purple Jesus Hands

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Stuart Wilde


14850


I saw a vision of Jesus’ hands all in purple, he had rosary beads round his fingers. It was extraordinarily beautiful. Then later I saw the same purple hands twenty more times, it kept repeating day-after-day.

Then one night I saw my hands go completely to purple, so I knew I was supposed to start the hands-on-healing, but I’m too shy, so I went to the pub and healed people in secret.

Chicken eh? too right!

But my mates watched me do it, and they could see the difference in people, especially those that were scared before I started. They calmed down and smiled without knowing why they felt better.

Then a few days later a lady came to see me, she had had a terrible pain in her fallopian tubes for two days; I put my hand on her for three minutes and it was gone, it’s six days now and she is still fine. Nice eh?

Hope springs eternal in the human heart. Stuart Wilde
(www.stuartwilde.com)

PS I told a man in another pub that I could heal cancer, he got very scared, so that was a test for me, a learning.

It’s like Fight Club, the first law of Fight Club is, that one is not allowed to talk about Fight Club. And the first law of cancer is, don’t mention it (tee-hee).

Had a wonderful day. Spent the afternoon playing outside with my grandson ... 26 C in March! Coming back from training tonight wearing only a sweater... in March! Taking it all in. My nice neighbour installed my new clothes line today ... washed my bed sheets ... they now smell like wind (my grandson's saying).

Nighty night Village ... and good morning!

@ Mojo, I really enjoyed that. Thanks.

By the way, companies sometimes change rules...

But some to sneak out to the Village.

[Belle]

According to my horoscope for the past few days, I was to be aware of communication and miscommunication issues...so I haven't posted, remembering the last time I didn't heed that advice. Browsing the forum, seems like that is a common occurrence around here lately.

High weirdness in the people I come in contact with on a regular basis...so many acting out of character. Interesting to watch.

A woman I have worked for on and off for many years made me cry last night. Known to be a bully and rather myopic when it comes to herself, she did a kindness for me that was huge...more meaningful because it is so unlike her. So very grateful.

Lots of inner work being done...so much to process.

[Lisab]

The villagers teach this little fish how to be brave and pop up to the surface and gulp the air so sore
ly missing on my "horrorscope" as Transiten would say. At the moment Chiron is conjunct Mercury on my chart. Hopefully my communication skills will improve. Who knows, maybe one day i'l change my avatar to that flying fish you once posted Ulli!

Good Morning :) All is well in the boonies :) It is quite wet, thunderstorm-y, lovely. Tornadoes did not materialize here.
Got an opportunity to share and help yesterday, it was great to feel productive and to share Tom!!! Brother called stirred up over "evil" attacking him...seems some very positive appearing opportunities were a little more complicated than first thought. He was offered an awesome job, but at the last minute several hoops appeared, and hoops are not evil at all. Unexpected hoops might be unnerving, but they do not own any value in and of themselves, only potential. So what did I share? Dude, jump! Have some fun! Do not succumb to the urge to worry and stress and all that, it is still fine... Shared Tom's wise words about chaotic and potentially disruptive time cosmically, and how he needs to let things flow. Don't allow the negativity to find a home, just let it go and know that all is still well :) I felt like I gave something back! It was wonderful for my brother, who took it and ran, and it was wonderful for me...and I hope that is translating to the Village in the Here and Now :)
Here's hoping every Villager finds an opportunity to feel the love of giving on this fine day ...
Much Love,

p.s....thanks Mojo! and thanks Modwiz-beautiful daffodils!!!

Happy Spring Equinox and New Moon


The Cosmic Story: Aries New Moon & Spring Equinox 2012
Spring Equinox, the day the Sun crosses over the Equator into the Northern Hemisphere, occurs this leap year on Monday, March 19 at 10:15pm PDT and on Tuesday, March 20 at 1:15am EDT and 5:15 am GMT. In the Southern Hemisphere, people are celebrating the Autumn Equinox and the harvest.

Awakening the Spring Maiden by Elana Gibeault (http://www.wisdom-of-astrology.com/)

Both the Spring and the Autumn Equinox bring us to a balance of day and night as the Sun sits on the Earth's equator. Now the days will grow longer north of the equator, and shorter south of it. Spring Equinox begins with the Sun's entry into the sign of Aries. Our western, tropical astrology is earth-based and so we work with the symbolism of Aries starting the astrological year at Spring Equinox. In sidereal astrology, based on the constellations, Spring Equinox changes with whatever constellation rises on Spring Equinox. Right now the early degrees of Pisces are rising, due to the earth's wobble and the precession of the equinoxes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precession). Soon, the stars of the constellation of Aquarius will be rising at Spring Equinox, heralding the dawning Age of Aquarius. The easiest way to think of the discrepancy is to understand that Pisces is the backdrop to our tropical zodiac. There is a more Piscean flavor to our Arian warriors than back when Aries was rising at Spring Equinox.
Spring Equinox is a rebirth of life and energy, and is often a time of religious celebrations, such as Easter and Passover. Spring Equinox is the celebration of the return of Persephone from the Underworld. Most of our religious celebrations are related to the changing position of the Sun as reflected in the Wheel of the Year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_of_the_Year): the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarter holidays of Imbolc, Beltaine, Lammas and Samhain. In Mexico, we can see one of the most beautiful examples of the return of the light at the famous main pyramid at Chichen Itza, where along the sides of the staircases, an enormous snake of sunlight appears to slither down the stairs at the precise moment of the equinox. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Spring-Equinox-and-Aries-N-by-Cathy-Lynn-Pagano-120319-982.html

I saw Cat People at a very young age. It lead to quite a crush on Nastassja Kinski that lasted on into early adulthood. I believe she is the daughter of Klaus Kinski, IIRC.

Hi PurpleLama yes, she is the daughter of Klaus Kinsky. :)

I was once an extra in a movie which Klaus Kinski starred in. I will never forget him...such a nice man. We had to wait for hours on the set...it was a German Italian co-production filmed in London. By the evening everyone was tired just waiting around for the camera to start rolling. By then Klaus had figured out that I spoke German.
So he asked me how much are they paying you for a day. And I said ten pounds...which to me was a lot of money in those days...nearly like a normal working week's wages. This was in 1968.
Yet he was so shocked he became angry and cursed the producers for their meanness.
He put his hands in his jacket pocket, fished out 25 pounds in five pound bills..and gave them to me. Turned on his heels and walked away.
I was stunned.
No one had ever been that generous to me before. Bless his soul. I don't remember the name of the movie.

Wow...funny how memory works...combined with the Internet.
I found it. It was called Double Face. Also staring Christiane Krueger, the daughter of German actor Harry Krueger. She was standing next to him when he gave me the money.

Found an interesting note from Hunter S:

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright... Or maybe "stupid" is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I... And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

As much as I like Hunter there is a good deal of debate whether he wrote most of his stuff, or if he was so high at any given time that whatever wife he was abusing at the time had to decipher his scribblings that a lot of what he "wrote" was actually written by them.
And this quote uses one of those words I don' like so much. "stupid"
Hunter had something for a while, but as his career went on his writing became somewhat ridiculous. It is a shame he never over came his personal demons.

Vernal Equinox

14874 The Earth in its orbit around the Sun causes the Sun to appear on the celestial sphere moving over the ecliptic (red), which is tilted on the Equator (white) While in reality the Earth goes in an orbit around the Sun, it seems from the Earth that the Sun moves over the ecliptic (red) on the celestial dome. When the Sun seems to pass through the vernal equinox (longitude 0°), the longitude of the Earth itself is 180° longitude. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ecliptic_path.jpg


Very cold on the mountain tonight and the forest and its' creatures are quiet.
Drinking a good hot cup of tea and enjoying the warmth of the fire.

Have good dreams

I was just rereading what I wrote last night...that Klaus Kinski was a 'nice' man.
Hahahaha...talk about Ulli making a subjective statement.
So what...so he gave me money...
Man, it was in he middle of the Hippie era, in London...it was the hip thing to do. At least he didn't hit on me.
"Nice"moment for me..since I was as poor as a church mouse.
But I don't believe Klaus Kinski has ever been called 'nice' before, until last night.
I'm sure for him it was just another chance to express his disgust at his authority of the moment..
Namely the producers of the movie he was working on.

[modwiz]

Yes.

I just replied to a thread that seemed very obvious to me,
especially for us Avalonians.

Frankly I'm surprised by the responses,
but here in lies the BIG problem.

Too many children and not enough adults.

Love to the village on this spring morning/autumn evening. A bit belated ... Happy Vernal / Autumnal Equinox!

MW, thanks for the link. Kudos to those involved. Hating people is difficult when we see them as human beings.

Eaglespirit, bet your sweat lodge experience was over the top.

Nora, love your spring equinox posts. We usually wait until Easter to plant tender crops here, but potatoes and cool crops like cabbage can go in as early as February. It's good to choose the appropriate moon phase depending on the crop -- potatoes go in at waning moon, being a root crop when the energy is directed downward, a decreasing moon phase - above ground crops like tomatoes and peppers go in during waxing (growing) moon. And then the sign of the zodiac can be considered too. Some signs are fertile, some are barren, some are in between. Those who plant by the moon plan their activities well ahead and pick the most advantageous times. My grandma planted by the moon, and I do when I can.

Samsara, beautiful video. Yes, it's so good to be alive ... despite difficulties -- our connections to each other, the love we feel for one another, makes all the difference.

One, great job posting Wave on Wave video. And what you said about sharing, I've had that on my mind lately too. I've been seeing a homeless man around, and from the back, the way he's built and his hair, reminds me of my older son. I always think I want to do something, but I don't know what. Talk to him, give him money, what? I don't know, but something. It reminds me of MW's link, when we see people as individuals, it's different, we can get a heart connection ... instead of just seeing 'a homeless guy.'

I have so much more to say to everyone, but have to go now.

Love to all,
Marianne

A Wonderful Sweat last Night with Kevin and Gene and "Lucy's Spirit" and All the Love of the Ancestors!

Lucy, an 83 year old Grandmother and close Friend of Carol and Kevin, passed to the other side yesterday...Carol was called to Her home,
the Sweat Lodge was in Her Honor and Memory. I had fortunately seen Her a few weeks ago when we got our last heavy, wet snow....we went and cleared Her driveway and sidewalk and visited. I am grateful now as I told Her She had touched countless Lives in a Beautiful 'Lucy' loving way!
You All would Love Her...She smoked like a truck driver and had that ol' new england sarcasm and was sharp as a tack....She would help Anyone directly and indirectly and quietly...She kept the balance with All of Her Friends and Relatives in the neighborhood and beyond. A Giver!
We Love You Lucy!!!
You are with Us forever!

Yes, I was thinking about that. How anyone who can form a image of a man in their head when his name comes up, has never associated him with the word 'nice'. But All of us have never met him in person.

The Same goes for Hunter S, not too many people have met him in person. Which is part of why I refuse to cast judgement at the feet of either. I have not the right, nor will I ever have that right. And in that, even my phrasing is reflective of mindset, which is the core of the issue.

Beautiful frosty crisp clear sunshine morning in the forest.
Still a lot of snow on the ground.....hope it was the last storm of the season.
It really weirded my cats out. They sat on the railings outside and wailed at the storm and would look at me -as if I could do something about it.

JB wondering where you have been lately. The Equinox and Solstice are both something I have been partial to -since I was a child...... always drawn to the sun and skys around that time; I would find a tree or go to the beach to watch the sun come up or sit out at night and watch the skys around that time; didn't matter the weather just would lose myself in nature as if time stood still. I used to live in a beach town for a while -the pier there was built in perfect alignment to the summer solstice. Spent a lot of time there at dawn and at night. Thank you for the planting information -appreciate it. Planting up here mostly happens a month later than at the lower elevations -I do consider the placement of the moon and planets when planting. My troubles come from the pesky rodents and birds that want to pick at and chew the plants. LOL

Eaglespirit -wow about the lodge -a true blessing.

Have a beautiful day.

Love

Nora

I agree.
If there is such a thing as an ultimate judgement it can only be from self to self,
and in that it has more to do with what one was aiming _for_, not against...
Not even if one destroyed something else in the pursuit of such an aim.
So for those whose end justified their means...go for it...
even if one day they_will_ find out that the end of everything was right here and now.
As well as the new beginnings......

Here's a little story about Goldman Ballsacks and financial advice they have for people. The comments below tell you that people are really catching on and that the exec who wrote about the culture of screwing clients has been heard loud and clear. Yahoo comments often resemble knuckle dragging nose picking goobers. So, when this group, reading financial news is showing clarity around this it is very encouraging. I left a rare comment there.

[1inMany]

Here and Now...was tired this morning, laid down for a nap. Awoke in a cold sweat, so cold. Awoke with a start, more of a thud, but after that it still took a couple of moments for me to awaken. When I awoke after much struggle, I am having a terrible time adjusting to where I am. I am trying coffee to get a grip, I went outisde for a moment to look around. Not sure. I see the yellow walls I painted in a burst of energy a couple of weeks ago, and the plates I hung on the wall...the little dessert plates that were my mom's...handpainted woman in the center and each one different. I hear M stirring in her room, see the blinking lights on the modem. Can't quite bring myself around.

The dream was so real, children everywhere, and all my...responsibility. I dream of children often. In the dream I was always holding one of them or another, babies, cradling them and soothing them. Then the baby would be asleep and I would go into my "apt" and find a suitable place to open a blanket on the floor and lay the angel down for a nap. The apt was in a building of them, hobbit sized. This place was familiar, right on a body of water... a lake I think. I tried several times to communicate with my husband, but it was almost like he could not hear me....the children could though. There were 10 of them, 5 of my own, and 5 that were under my care. They ranged in age from babies to teens, and they were all at me for something. What a dream..........

Scheduled after dropping kids to school this morning a delivery service for purified water ... no show.

Mail as I was already pissed and heading for bed was a notice from the landlord who is in default and selling the property there would be an assessor coming by at 2pm. Called to verify and bitch about lack of lead time.

No show.

Here and now: been looking at rentals in Barbados in the hope of finding my son's family a better deal.
They are up to their ears in child-rearing and schooling stress.

And now I'm having to worry about Calz & co. as well.
Calzie...have you done any creative thinking about what you and your wife would rather have than what you have now?
Within reason? And then move towards change?
Gradual change? How long can you go on like this?

We both have great paying jobs (well ... relatively) in the insurance industry (which is part of the system and of course will fail at some point soon).

My guides suggest I should be in the mountains (none close).

My wifee is only on "occasion" awake and despite 16 years of marriage remains more in the asleep category despite being a very devoted and loving partner.

Kids I share some with but don't want to take away from the "innocense" of youth.

They are both more "aware" even with that limited exposure than my wife.


Too much information ... but this is "here and now" ... so I suppose it works.


Very little debt ... single and no dependancies I would have bailed this country long ago.

... but where???

I am not afraid of death.

Only one reservation is I don't want my family to suffer.

How is that for the long version of too much information???

Love you Calz and wish you more sleep as well.

I can honestly attest living away from the city has had many benefits in my life. Always adjustments to it.
Have lived in suburbia a few times and it never worked for me and I have thought about leaving the US as well.
not off the grid yet still working on it.

Something will open up for you soon -you certainly deserve it.

Calz...You Are A Good Man...in the "Goodest" sense of it All !

The world as we know it is coming UN-done.

The best I can suggest to People is to take 'longer' walks in the woods and listen more closely to inner speakings.

We Are Sovereign Higher Diplomatic Beings from the Stars !

Our Actions Are Now Shining Brighter Than Ever !

The never-ending societal propagated "false" romances(power, greed, etc.) are in fact ending with the 'now-ensuing' close of 3d...

Right Here and Now !

Just waking feels like we had our first frost overnight

I must have sensed that coming as I put my tomatoes
In pots in the greenhouse yesterday .

Really appreciating the changes in season .
Although winter here is too cold for me and heating
bills are too high. But I do enjoy the introspection and
deeper inner work that comes with autumn/winter .

I took Louis back to see my chirp friend last night after
a break and just working on him myself for and hour a day.

Previously Barry had to hold his back end up while
applying lazar treatment to him but last night Louis was
standing on his own and wagging his tail . Barry really
noticed a big improvement whereas me seeing him
everyday had not noticed the change. So good news there.
I will keep doing what I was doing .it's slow going as its
spine and nerve damage. But he has been such a good
patient always happy never complains . He loves seeing
Barry he fully understands he is helping him .

Also lots of remote healing work last few weeks has
increased my available power somewhat so he is
benefiting from that .1+1=3 etc.
People tell me to take it easy and not over work etc
but the fact is when you are doing everything in correct
alighnment you get healed also . I have the best job in
the world .

Blessings to all
