Here and Now...What's Happening?

[transiten]

Thanks Calz, that really cheered me up a bit reminding me of my voiceliberationcourses where we also let our bodies loose along with the voice. I've got something to look forward to once this ailment is gone! And 1inmany some things have cleared up a bit actually!

[dan33]

Nora, i will pray for your dog. :)

Busy day today.
I found this for Astrid. I think she likes Sean

Now I have to take hugo a football game.

Here and Now...beautiful light rain. On the roses and miscellany in the garden...I am perplexed by the animal noise "glip-glop." I ruled out something in the (tiny) pond-like thing. I followed it into a tree I think. Most odd. glip-glop... Noticed it before the rain, so it's not water...

The sounds of the rain...there is a definite plop that falls from the roof to the Em's pot of butterfly flowers. There a pitter patter on the leaves of the rose bush leaves, the smaller ones. There is a glup that hits the higher, larger leaves...

Then the thunder comes...it rolls lazily through the whole sky...taking its time and gaining its strength and voice as it travels...

Did an angel tarot reading yesterday. First, a 3 card spread. Blew me away. Decided, then, on the 5 card....and a 10 card...

The universe is ready to hear from me. I certainly don't want to keep us all waiting (lol) and as soon as I figure out what it is I am to say...

Emotions are subsiding a bit, processed plenty of them for crying out loud. I have grown so much, from one who prefers to stuff it until an "appropriate" time (if and when that arrives) to one who deeply feels and immediately feels...if that makes sense.

I have many friends surrounding and supporting me, message will come from a distance, intuition becoming stronger... As one interested in psychology, I find it weird that this online Village is full of my friends, while this 3d world does not produce anything remotely close. And then I dismiss that thought...

So much information in those cards, and every reading expanded on the previous. Eery almost.

And so, it is happening for me. I'm supposed to be open to it and not afraid (echoing Ulli's words of just a few days ago.) It's funny, isn't it, that being reassured to not be afraid is the very thing that puts me at high alert lol...

I am grateful the storm of ick has passed, at this moment I cannot remember another more grateful time...maybe when Little One and Em were afflicted with the illness of unknown origin and you literally saved them...

Part of me knows another storm will come, and I wish with all my heart that I didn't have to go through that again...it becomes heavy feeling and dark like a thick fog consuming each part of me little by little...maybe by the next time one hits I will know better how to fight it or how to experience it in a more positive way...or how to make it through a lot faster!

Woke up feeling connected again. I smudged my house :) Summoned a little ingenuity and did it even though two windows are mostly closed :) It was really different from last time. I felt the presence of these friends, and that sage was smokin' - no joke. Nothing was going to stay here this time, and it wasn't all me. I share this because after the house, I also walked around outside, on the porch all the way around, all the overhangs, etc...And the construction crew drove up & commenced working at the street...maybe an acre away? And my home must have been a sight...this stinky smoke pouring -no, billowing out of the open doors and the barn-garage and out of the openings of the porch...all the while I had my relaxation music playing-no, blaring.... I really have to laugh out loud when I wonder what's going through town like wildfire...

When I was done, rosemary and I asked some white candles to help bring in life energy. At last count, there were 29 burning...and what do you know, the 2 and the 9 are what made 11 in my life number thing...that was not lost on me. Here come the messages :)

I hope all in the Village this day receive affirming messages.

Much Love,

[astrid]

Can't see the Sean part on iPhone but
thanks anyways

Sleep not forthcoming tonight
Body temperature dropped oddly so just got up
and made a hot water bottle see if that works to
send me off . New moon maybe too has me overly
thinking of new ideas . Merc also quite active in my
chart right now , fingers crossed it translates to
productive times ahead.
Something I noticed today was my eyes have changed
back to green from hazel which they tend to do when
I'm in a more yang cycle . Strange I know but for
some reason it happens go figure

[ulli]

Been thinking a lot of Nora's dog and been sending healing energies to her doggie and to Nora as well.

[astrid]

Same, we have animal healing clinic this week too
so iwill add them both to the circle, miracles happen
at those sessions as we work as a group to build more
power .

Will try again to sleep

[Guest]

Update on Whitetail
Thank you for the love prayers and healing for whitetail.
his fever is down, still on fluids, the vet has taken him off of morphine
& put him on a less potent pain killer.
His haunches are still swollen but he is walking around some.

Decompressing here and now then going to visit with him today and will fill you in after the visit.
I live 40 miles from the vet, felt like a dream last night could not get him there
fast enough.

Appreciate everything you guys do.

Love

Nora

Update... Pictures don't work today. They prefer to be hidden.

[astrid]

Just waking
Another glorious day
Leaves are starting to fall off my Ash tree
just love this time of year
the cycles of life are plain to see
And where I'm living we have loads of deciduous
trees even lining the streets
Around the corner there are Oaks which are one of
my favorite trees next to the Williow, which I always
thought as a child was very magical

Good news on your dog Nora I will keep on
With healing for him .
I did some work on Louis last night when I
was feeding him I removed and then added
various energies into his food to act as a healing
catalyst, I just put him out and noticed he was walking
much more freely .
The limit to what we can do to effect changes in
our environment is only up to what we believe.

my spelling ( and or typing) has been atrocious of late

[eaglespirit]

Healing Love to You and White Tail, Nora...great to hear the turnaround...may it continue : )

The Miracle Village...feeling Intense, Wonderful Higher Entrainment Energy while catching up !

[eaglespirit]

I have expressed this before in different ways Here and Now...
but once again it is getting stronger and stronger each day

I feel as though the Higher Mother Earth is about to burst wide open...
I am higher than a kite from no other anything but what I see, hear, feel, touch and smell and connect to all around me...
well beyond the senses of 3d as we know them

[Guest]

More updates on whitetail
He's having surgery within the hour on his ears they are torn up and infected. He's on a stronger antibiotic.
The vet said that his wounds are more than likely from a coyote not a raccoon
The puppy and other dog that were attacked are doing better.

Love

Nora

[Guest]

Whitetail pulled through the surgery fine and is resting comfortably.
I am so relieved.

Everyone at the animal hospital keeps telling me what a wonderful loving dog he is
and then they laugh saying we are so glad because he is so big and strong.

Thank you everyone and blessings

Love

Good to hear Nora, i was thinking of him today.

[cloudno7]

Our sense that at least in everyday life we can rely on solid, sensible physical contact to explain, say, why the butter knife comes to you when you pick it up, is a misconception. What does it mean to have physical contact? What exactly is happening when you pick up a knife, or push a swing, or make a wave in a waterbed by pressing down on it periodically? When we investigate deeply, we find that there is no physical contact. Instead, the electrical charges on your hand are influencing the electrical charges on the knife or swing or waterbed, and vice versa. Despite everyday experience and common sense, even here, there is only the interaction of electric fields. Nothing is touching anything. Atoms never touch each other, it is just interacting fields.

The way the world works is so resolutely counterintuitive. Common sense is almost useless in approaching it. It's no good, why it is that way. No one knows why it is that way. That's just the way it is.

[Lisab]

I'm so happy for you and White Tail Nora. I went to bed thinking healing thoughts for your beautiful dog, I was extremley tired last night, couldnt post. Just want you to know, was holding you both in my heart. It's lovely to wake up to good news, so thank you.

[Rainbowbrite]

My here and now:

1.06pm The hailstone has just finished and now sunlight is flooding through the window as i sit in my comfortable chair. I can hear a fly buzzing somewhere. I can smell the remains of frankincense burnt last night, still lingering. My mind wanders to the meals i'm planning for today. The birds are singing again after the hail, i can hear sparrow and blackbirds. My son is quiet and layed on his back listening to everything with me - i look at him and see the beauty of creation and all that is, in his eyes, as he gazes out of the window watching the sunlight. I'm so aware of the potential of everything. Overwhelmed in this simple moment, i'm sitting in wonder.

Then my son asks "what's for lunch?" and i'm back in my here and now :) I'm now off to make soup :)

[1inMany]

Good Morning, Village.

Fell asleep at 6pm on the couch. Em moved me to bed around 8:30pm. Awoke at 7am. Feel like Rip van Winkle. Finally...rest came. I haven't slept that good in ages, and yet I'm still a little tired oddly enough. The last week must have really taken a toll on me. Will listen closely for the messages, haven't heard any yet (that have registered in my consciousnses).

Hmmm...Ace of Swords....will go look at up, thanks dan :)

Much Love,

p.s. so glad to hear about your dog, Nora. I'm no healer (yet haha), but I have been thinking of you guys...

[transiten]

Hello

Good to hear your dog is better Nora. Called one of my best friends today and she was mourning her litte Russelterrier Tracy who went to the "happy hounting grounds" yesterday and i was saddened also because i had not the opportunity to say goodbye to her since i've been away and just came home to go to the doctor, browsing the net, calling around to find out what's wrong with me.

[Guest]

Thank you Transiten,

Good to see you here.
I missed you and often wondered where you had gone and that you were doing well.
Sorry you have not been feeling well lately. Loving prayers to you
And hope you feel better soon. Sorry about your friends loss of here little dog.

Love

Nora

An interpretation of the Ace of Swords

Ace of Swords

http://www.ata-tarot.com/resource/cards/sa.gif In the right hands, the sword is a powerful weapon that can serve the needs of justice and authority. But the sword cuts both ways, and when in the posession of those who seek to use it for evil, its power becomes wholly negative. Every Sword card in the Tarot bears the duality but the Ace is particularly susceptible to it. It is the beginning, the spark of potential that will influence all that lies ahead. The Sword by itself can never be positive or negative. The bearer of the sword determines whether he will wield it with clarity and truth of purpose, or with anger and agression.
The Ace of Swords shows the beginning of a situation whose potential is as double-edged as the blade of a sword. There is great power, even excessive power at times, in both love and hatred. The Ace implies the use of such power to further one's ends, but what it does not imply is the manner in which those powers will be used, or the end that the means seek to achieve. No matter what the goal, there is always great power behind the attempts to reach it when these attempts are powered by the Ace of Swords. Very little can stand in the path of this energy without being destroyed.
Unlike the force of the Ace of Wands, a natural force, the force of this Ace can be invoked and wielded by anyone whose heart is strong. Note that, in many cases, strength and purity do not necessarily go hand in hand. Weapons are borne by the violent and unjust much more often than the righteous, and this is perhaps why the Swords suit as a whole is full of grief and crisis. But the Ace does not show either triumph or defeat; it has the potential for both lying within it. It is up to the bearer of the Sword to tap that great potential, and it is his actions that decide what will become of it.
As a primarily spiriutal card, the Ace of Swords often represents an insight or a breakthrough in the world of the spirit. Lucid understanding and mental reasoning reach their peak under the influence of this card, and achievement of goals suddenly becomes a lot easier. You can clear away the fog that has kept you from seeing the inner truth, and you can cut away all the bonds of the past that have held you back. The time to act is now, and if you set your mind to accomplishing your goals, you can achieve anything you desire. But be careful that you do not cut yourself with the sword's two-edged blade.

Garden snails are amazing little creatures, although I confess to having harmed a few of them in my life of careless selfishness.

Still, this is all they really wanted me to appreciate -- that part of them which is living all snails, all gardens and gardeners alike.

They’re graciously appearing here to show me what I really am, as are all the breathing pulsing props in this crazy garden of dreams in which I find myself.

I learn again and again to forgive life, to forgive the dream, for appearing as it is. Why does this simple act often seem so difficult?

I recognize my habitual resistance to it, and then let that go, let the snails be, let life be -- not harming, but loving, only loving.

What’s so hard about that? What will it take for the truth of Ahimsa, non-harming, to fully make its point in my heart?

I lift a snail from the flower stalk and re-locate it safely in the bushes.

God peaks out from under the snail shell, knowing nothing of this -- not a thought, not a prayer.

This is the prayer.




http://i39.tinypic.com/2ytpket.jpg

[Lisab]

I relocate snails to safety too Bob! And so do my kids.

[ulli]

Up to a point, yes. But what would you do if you found more than 1000 of these in your garden every morning?
Barbados has had it's gardens destroyed since these have invaded the island during the last 10 years.
Battling them has had people overuse poisons, and thus cause damage to groundwater supplies.
The only way to control the snail population is to collect them as protein-rich animal feed, or even serve them for dinner, cooking them in garlic and butter.

Move.

That's one big snail Ulli! And good point. I remember going through a phase of not wanting to tread on the daisies when I was younger! Balance.

But what would you do if you found more than 1000 of these in your garden every morning?

Move.


:yo:

LOL. Right.
I'm a mover myself, lucky me.
But for the people of Barbados there is no escape.
These snails have taken over the whole island, most of the other islands of the Caribbean,
and are now threatening crops in Florida.
Here is an alert from the Australian government which is trying to protect their continent from infection.

Reminds me of the cane toads of Australia.

Here, in the United Snakes, there's a growing problem with a number of invasive species, like the snakehead fish. States are offering bounties of $200 per fish turned in to the wildlife authorites.

[astrid]

Wow big snails, im surprised they are not turned into an industry,
at least you can eat them. Given all the food shortages, surely
someone can start up a gourmet snail canning factory, and
sell them back to France

Cane toads are a different story, no predators at all.
Nothing can eat them.

Just waking here, we had a huge rain storm here last night, thunder and
torrential rain, fantastic for the garden. Kept me awake though,
but love waking up to the day after a decent rain, everything feels so
fresh

[Guest]

Hey dan33,

Appreciate this kind of energy. It's a reminder for me to do my best to walk in a good way
Not to abuse power. Also a reminder to cut away what I don't need and create my own way.
A good card to represent strong new beginnings and perfect for the new moon energies.

I like the artwork in the card of your original post.

Right now I'm trying to distract myself from what is going on with whitetail and remain as calm as I can for his sake and mine. He's still on heavy antibiotics. But he is strong and a fighter.

Greetings, wonderful Villagers. My obsession of the day has been The Picture of Dorian Gray in its literary and cinematic forms.

It all started with this daily literary quote from my home page:

"Beauty is a form of genius--is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation. It is of the great facts in the world like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in dark water of that silver shell we call the moon."

It jumped out at me because of what David Icke and Lisa Renee have said about the moon.

The words were spoken by Lord Henry Wotton to Dorian in The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, a darkly fascinating story about beauty, youth, ego and black magic. I wonder if Wilde had some esoteric knowledge? Might have to research that...

Interesting what Lord Henry says next: "It cannot be questioned. It has its divine right of sovereignty."

Soon after, Dorian's portrait is finished. His head filled with thoughts about the power and fleeting nature of his youthful beauty, he says:

"How sad it is! I shall grow old, and horrible, and dreadful. But this picture will remain always young... If it were only the other way! If it were I who was to be always young, and the picture that was to grow old! For that--for that--I would give everything! Yes, there is nothing in the whole world I would not give! I would give my soul for that!"

Artistic interpretations of Dorian in the beginning and the end from the 1945 movie written and directed by Albert Lewin, who chose to add the element of an Egyptian cat deity:

Meteor shower expert Bill Cooke of NASA told SPACE.com that the moon is currently in its new phase, when the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun. That means that unlike last year, when bright moonlight washed out April's annual "shooting stars" display, the 2012 Lyrid meteor shower (http://www.space.com/15364-lyrid-meteor-shower-2012-skywatching-archive.html) could be a stand-out event.

Was simply too tired last night to get up and go outside for a look.
I guess I'm in one of those depressions from being overwhelmed with life's demands.
My current state of affairs is too complex for me, and most of it is caused by my husband's way of doing things.
He is more right brained than I so he has less need for order. He piles his plate full of stuff which in my opinion is useless, then looks to me to sort it all out for him. So I'm longing for the simplicity of my Barbados hermit life, minus the Internet problems, of course.
But I find that the more I strive for anything in particular, the more I end up with it's opposite, so I have to be careful.
Once I get into desire mode it doesn't take me long to go into obsessive mode, which is then followed by a whack from life to wake me up in with a cold bucket of water which I often find traumatizing.
Don't want to go there. Know that pattern too well.

Anyway, so I followed your link to that Daily Mail article and found it leads to other links/articles.
One of them is what Carmody was talking about last year, when he repeatedly posted about Libya's underground water reserves. Ghaddafi wanted to make this water freely available, but now the elite got him out of the way, they will be selling each liter for profit.

A Here and Now question would be why is this of concern to me at all?
I live in a watery climate and Costa Rica is not likely to turn into a dersert, even though here in Punta Leona it is still very dry as the rainy season hasn't arrived here yet. The jungle in front and behind my house is eerily quiet. The rains are holding off until Luis finished painting the roof and the paint is dry. That is how his lucky stars work for him, he being a Sagittarius.
By the way, I'm one of his lucky stars, as I work for him, too.

Anyway, back to the water underneath the Sahara desert. I feel my concern is
some symptom of an inner imbalance.
Could it mean that my own flat and dry period is about to come to an end?
But that there is a price?
In the 3D world everything has a price; one either pays upfront, or later, with interest.

When windfall money comes it is because some time ago one paid for it to happen, or it is given by spirit an excercise in handling finances.
In which case it comes with lessons attached. As I wrote that line a warbler sang a loud melody outside my front door.

It is dusty and kiln-dried, mid-way along the crooked spine of the Atlas Mountain Range. Humps of browned and barren hills spread stuporous in relentless heat. Not a breeze is stirring.

In the middle of the road I've wandered down, seven young Berber boys stand in my way, their beseeching hands reaching out to me, their eyes imploring me for something, anything.

Above them, lifted on the thermal currents, large black carrion birds lazily circle over the baking yurts these children's families call home.

They are nomads like myself, roaming through this arid land, shaggy goats and worn blankets, and now their hopeful eyes impale me.

I can almost see behind those eyes, and what I see caves in my heart.

What is seen is the one who sees, and the one who sees is the one I am. This is why I start to weep, and why it feels as if I’ll never stop.

They watch me, they weep with me, the hills are weeping, and yet – it is so quiet, so very still.

Not a noise is heard, except for the sound my tears make as they splash the hard clay at my feet – the earth that I am – and are swallowed up in the mystery I've emerged from, the very place my path is leading me, even now.

There are some mangy little mutt dogs by the roadside, their tongues drooping from listless jaws, panting, panting, panting, and the flies . . .

the omnipresent flies, thick amidst wafting aromas of cracked wheat from the threshing circle in the near distance where a woman and her donkey crush grain, just as they have always done.

There is something . . . familiar in all of this.

Somehow, within that circle, I sense that all I will ever need to understand is just about to reveal itself.

After some time, I realize that it hasn't, that it never will, and so I move on.

There is nothing to understand.

Good Morning Ulli,

Tonight will be another starred filled night just not as much as last night's sky was.
It was a spectacular show.
When I lived in Washington St. a group of us would get together different times of the year and go up to Mt. Rainer;
find a large
fallen tree to perch ourselves on in a wooded area, and watch the meteor showers and our star friends buzz around
the night sky's. Mystical and surreal experience.

White Tail is doing much better this morning. Resting and in good spirits considering everything he has been through and the injuries to his legs. He is eating some and getting up and walking around.
Am going to visit with him today and hopefully he will be able to come home tommarrow.
The staff at the animal hospital are all really looking after him and even gave him his own personal nurse.

Blessings to you guys

Love

Nora

A promising meteor shower will hit its peak tonight, lighting up the late-night sky in what could be an eye-catching end to Earth Day.
NASA scientists predict the annual Lyrid meteor shower (http://www.space.com/15355-lyrid-meteor-shower-2012-space-balloon.html), which peaks overnight tonight (April 21) and before dawn Sunday, will offer an impressive sky show to observers with clear weather, largely due to the absent moon.
Meteor shower expert Bill Cooke of NASA told SPACE.com that the moon is currently in its new phase, when the side facing Earth is not illuminated by the sun. That means that unlike last year, when bright moonlight washed out April's annual "shooting stars" display, the 2012 Lyrid meteor shower (http://www.space.com/15364-lyrid-meteor-shower-2012-skywatching-archive.html) could be a stand-out event.

Was simply too tired last night to get up and go outside for a look.

Last day or so I have taken a detor into some
shadow work some things from childhood that
were well buried but exposed via working in
group settings . All good, but this is tough
stuff and I have never bought this particular
issue to the light before so it's quite traumatic
in many ways . But also very necessary work

More sleep now

That's awesome, Nora! I freaking love tourmaline.

I grew up not too far from the tourmaline mine in Pala, Ca. I do sometimes get the chance to visit the area. ...
Nora

Nora,

My buddy was the mining engineer at (what was then) the main tourmaline mine in Pala, the "Stewart Lithia." I had a few chances to go down in the mine, and on one occasion found and dug-out a bi-color (pink/green) tourmaline crystal out of a wall in the mine. Never mind that it was totally internally shattered full of flaws, it was still quite a thrill to me.

I used to camp out on the Pala Indian reversation property as well. Wonder if we ever (unknowingly) crossed paths. That would have been about 1977 to 1980 timeframe.

Dennis

p.s. Oh geeeeezz! Ulli specifically asked for 'here and now' and I am talking about 30 years ago! Uh, well there is a small bag of semi-gem grade apatite on my desk right now. (I wanted to see if I could use it for inlay material in guitar fingerboards.)

Hi Dennis,

I lived in the area for about 20 years possible that we crossed paths.

There are different mines in the area all of them rich in different minerals.
I think 2 of the mines are still open to the public now.
The original Stewart mine c. 1890 was mined originally for lithia
I think for trade with the Chinese.

Several of the larger hills in the region are under protection by the various
Native American Nations in the area and the Environmentalists.
The hills are home to Mtn Lions, Redtail Hawks, Golden Eagles
and various other species that are protected. Once home to the California
Condor but they are all living in captivity now. The bears in the
area are mostly gone and the last Jaguar was killed c. 1900.

Love,

Nora

Good morning fellow villagers! I have to say that i love reading this thread and catching up :)

My here and now:

8.58am. Sat in my chair typing on my keyboard. My eldest is talking about college and what she needs, she wonders if she's organised. I'm wondering if i am too... I can hear her preparing her lunch to take with her. The sky is very overcast and there is no wind, it feels very 'close' today, no air. My mind keeps returning to the mundane tasks i have to tackle today. The police helicopter has just flown overhead, i'm listening to it disappear into the distance.

My thoughts turn to healing. I am undecided as to post this or not, i'm naturally quite a shy person when it comes to public airing of problems. But i've decided to because Astrid's post about her deep healing struck a chord with me in my here and now. The last year or so has resulted in deep work myself. Recently i've realised a wound in myself that has remained for 16 years or so, i've thought that i've dealt with it but truth is truth and i have begun to accept that i haven't dealt with it, because i haven't. I'm still carrying the boulder. Group work will help me with this. I've thought about why i haven't dealt with this before - and the crux of it is fear. Fear and deep set guilt. I know that it's holding me back in my spiritual development and growth. Fear is a strange thing, it can dominate everything if you allow it. I choose not to fear myself!

So, my here and now is actually the true realisation and acceptance of this issue, and finding the resolve to work through it. That and the birdsong :)

Thank you all :grouphug:

[astrid]

Yes its interesting how we think we have dealt with something,
then we get put into a situation where we are triggered and
we realize that we have more layers of the onion to process.
For me this particular "wound" i didn't realize i had to the
extent that i have it, and i more importantly didn't realize how
much it has set me back, and continues to do so. So.. its
a really important one for me to tackle as i know it will
open so many doors for me. Physically and emotionally
its hit me like a truck load of bricks, i can feel where in my
body i have stashed this wound, so my first step is to remove
it from my field, which is what i have been doing the last few days.
And I'm quite blown away on how even the small amount i have done
thus far on this, has shifted my energy, motivation and general
outlook on the future. I cant say its "fun" in that this is heavy stuff,
but it's one of the main things that was blocking me from getting
beyond a certain point, and in so many areas. So its really worth the effort.

Rainbow you will be really surprised how posting things here can help you
gain more clarity and healing, its a very powerful and also safe circle we have
here. I"m glad you have joined us.

Blessing to all ,
Astrid

[astrid]

Another thing worth mentioning is when i hit some really tough sticky things,
i really up my self care. This week i have been baking a lot of my favorite things,
and really making sure i sleep well and be kind to myself in anyway i can.
Today i even treated myself to a Gym membership, i hate Gyms, but this one
is quiet during the day and it means i won't be such a sloth over winter
which is usually an issue for me.
So self care is high on my agenda right now.
And a stronger, better healer it certainly does make.
Not to say I'm neglecting the work I'm doing with others,
but I'm making double sure i have the resources to help
before i say yes.

Thank you Astrid. You've summed up very eloquently and accurately how i see this wound in myself. It really is amazing how many layers there are to this onion. I know full well how this is holding me back, or rather, blocking my development. I'm really encouraged by how your work on removing the wound from your field is already helping and that you can see the benefits too. This is where i will start too, i think - i will meditate on it and listen to myself... A few friends and i are looking at setting up a regular circle for journeying together. I think i will look at my underworld, sooner rather than later. I've not journeyed there as often as i feel i should (i'm realising) due to fear of this issue - rather the fear of being confronted with it! There is so much clicking into place now. What is amazing me is that i've had so many 'signs, nudges and pointers' to deal with this that i've been too blinded by fear to see properly - this morning i've been able to look retrospectively and i can clearly see the connections.

Thanks you for your words Astrid! ♥ And love to all :)

Edit to add - i couldn't agree more regarding looking ofter yourself!

My question is 'who was that dude in the water?' the one the eagle was after.

Maybe he was a floating rodent who had put on too much weight?

Worm farms are fantastic, they don't smell like standard compost bins,
only need a small space, and give you by products of both "worm wee", and
castings- both very rich fertilisers.

Right now I have some composting worms in a box in my kitchen,
I'm feeding them up to increase their population
before i add them to my worm farm.
They multiply so fast, soon they will all be willing workers in my garden

One of my friends is involved with restoring a tall ship here in Aus,

When she heard they were restoring her she jumped at the chance to help.

Fingers crossed it works!

This reminds me of a prophecy by 18th century seer Emanuel Swedenborg.
He saw the end of the world in a vision of tall sailboat masts sticking out of a snowy landscape.
Only later did it become clear that, yes, he had a vision of the future, but no, not necessarily the end of the world.

What he may well have seen there were TV masts which during his lifetime did not yet exist, so his only reference point was tall ship masts. So what were they doing on dry land?

[Rainbowbrite]

Well my first thought was that it was to do with HAARP arrays. But then i think that the TV mast interpretation is spot on, or perhaps mobile phone masts etc - with regards to 'programming' through the airwaves. Not the end of the world, but a strong image/symbol referencing the interesting time we live in! If that's the case, it makes total sense to me that he would understand what he saw as ship's masts...

Very interesting chap!

Beautiful clear sunny Spring morning in the forest.
All of the critters are scurrying and flying through the trees.
Hearing a lot of hidden little echoes by the mountain creatures.

Have been feeling and hearing many small tremblers and tremors
in the earth lately.

White Tail gets to come home today if all goes well. Yeah!!!
We had an after hours visit last night and spent
some time together. He mostly slept through the
whole visit -on my foot.
He looks a little worse for wear -I'll spare you guys the gory
details looks like he's been through hell or war or both-
but the vet
said he is doing well and getting grumpy.
Which is a good sign.
Now recovery for my brave 100 lbs of love.

Any suggestions from the Village about introducing

Deeply appreciate all of the love, prayers and support for Whitetail.
There were a lot of times I just really felt powerless.

This was my favorite Being There scene:
and it is still quite relevant to what the people in this forum are talking about.

Conspiracy, and how it happens in unexpected places.
I used to say 'get rid of the world's golf courses and you destroy the breeding grounds of conspiracies'.
But lately I don't even worry about the conspirators any more.
Life is a state of mind.

Beautiful clear sunny Spring morning in the forest.
All of the critters are scurrying and flying through the trees.
Hearing a lot of hidden little echoes by the mountain creatures.

Have been feeling and hearing many small tremblers and tremors
in the earth lately.

White Tail gets to come home today if all goes well. Yeah!!!
We had an after hours visit last night and spent
some time together. He mostly slept through the
whole visit -on my foot.
He looks a little worse for wear -I'll spare you guys the gory
details looks like he's been through hell or war or both-
but the vet
said he is doing well and getting grumpy.
Which is a good sign.
Now recovery for my brave 100 lbs of love.

Any suggestions from the Village about introducing
good flora back into his system would be appreciated
or any suggestions.

Deeply appreciate all of the love, prayers and support for Whitetail.

Synchronicitiy.
Woke up with exactly that song in my head.
Was going to come here and post it.
So glad I did not.

Dreamt of crystals last night - and I don't dream.
They were white quartz with some sort of black crystal vein running through it.
In my dream I named the black stuff but now I cannot remember what it was.

Hugs,
Ernie

3.33 am and I really need to sleep ,i have a important
online meetup in the morning - healing clinic can't miss
this one as I want to add a special request for whitetail

Sleep damm it, where are you ??
Grrrrr

I haven't heard about The Kinks long ago. A friend (Earth in Avalon), touched the guitar of Ray Davies during his solo perfomance.... ha... he kill him with his sight. Imagine Modwiz making a bass solo...and then, Ulli jumps saying "Woooow" touching his "instrumento" and throwing back him.

Forum friend, more like it...with several points of common interest, such as health and astrology.


About Ray Davies, I met him once.
I had been quite close with Chrissie Hynde in 1974, just before she became a Pretender. She used to write for the New Musical Express and worked for Malcolm MacLaren and Vivienne Westwood as a shop assistant.
By the time I saw her again, in the late seventies, we were all having dinner in the Zanzibar in London and Chrissie had become a celebrity and was living with Ray Davies, who was considered a huge star.
I guess he had a right to defend his instrument.

The fan part it's a part of the story. Ulli's character is a fan of modwiz, the musician. She doesn't know he is a magician also. She goes to every perfomance of him. His group it's call Rag Disc .

'Tis my guess that someone wants me to help them make power crystals. I did indeed do that, sort of, once..on this forum. I was speaking in a thread with Bluestflame.

I explained how to make the most potent orgone devices.

The methods are near identical.

There are other aspects, but one must, to a larger extent, learn what exactly such devices are capable of being. one must grow into the explanation so responsibility can be part of the course of that particular nature. Thus the danger, like that of the true white powder (red lion, etc) in the hands of those who do not know exactly what it is.

There is great danger in simply handing it to people. There is also great danger in it not being available. The gift (the dream) is also the nightmare, one that requires growth to understand what it is.

They can even be made so that their 'full power' can only be activated by the original creator of such. At the same time that the full energization (intensity) is that of the person using it.

Been thinking about Astrid doing shadow work in a group. Man that's hardcore! But given the chance I'd go for it, although I know I'd end up foetal on the floor, with my thumb in my mouth! Ive had some breakthru's myself recently. But at first,after I'd dealt with a really deep issue, I didnt end up all light and bouncy and looking great like I hoped. Instead I got spots!! Im not kidding. Spots everywhere, even on the end of my nose. Gross. All the crud coming up I guess. I look fine now!

[Rainbowbrite]

Hi Nora! Great news about Whitetail, i've been following his progress and thinking of you both. I have a dog too and totally understand what you mean when you say you felt powerless at times. It's great to hear the good news!

As far as introducing good flora back, my first thought was live yoghurt - but then some dogs are lactose intolerant and shouldn't have any dairy at all. Much of what i've read says that you shouldn't give dogs dairy at all, ever - but there is some debate. Mine is fine with it however, and has no issue with small quantities (i've never given her more than a tablespoon or so though, she's a mid sized German Shepherd). Obviously use your best judgement. I found this bit of info which might be interesting: http://www.ehow.com/way_5603008_alternative-medicines-probiotics-dogs.html It talks about 'green tripe' (eww), a bit further down the page, which could be an option. You can also buy probiotics for dogs too - but i've never had experience with them. Other than that i'm drawing a blank!

Wishing Whitetail a speedy recovery :)


Any suggestions from the Village about introducing
good flora back into his system would be appreciated.

personally, I think that anyone capable of doing shadow work in a group, with conscious consistency......that sort of person might be ready to handle a truly 'powered/enabled/gating' crystal. (one designed from scratch)

(forgive me but I'm married to a 24/7 soccer fan...)
(nor will I open that Queen song, and may Freddie turn in his grave!)

I'm not a soccer fan, but I like to play soccer. I was reading the Has-anyone-else-been-feeling-a-tad-mor-antisocial-than-normal (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?44011-Has-anyone-else-been-feeling-a-tad-mor-antisocial-than-normal/page5) thread and I like to be on my own a lot of time. Reading a book or being on the internet. Having difficulties to feel more and more disconnected to others close to me. Playing soccer is a great way to interact with others. Just making fun and being physically active. So there is some balance in my life.

But now I know you don't like soccer and you don't like Queen :p

That was me this week, fetal on the floor,
and from a long term avoider of all things uncomfortable,
i have learnt that lesson well and these days i walk straight into the fire.
Turns out it's like a few mins at best, a couple of days at worst and you are
set free from what ever you were being bound by. And the best news of all
that in the shadow hides all the good stuff, think of all the times you were
told not to do something as a kid, and you were repressed in some way,
that thing gets shoved in the shadow closet.
So when you process another layer, also tangled up in that layer is many a gold
nugget of your creative selves.

Things that happen concurrently in time, can get linked together, if trauma is
involved then those things are twisted in the same traumatic knot.
So there is then a list of things that you can no longer do with ease.
When you unravel and unpack and process you can find all sorts of things
hidden and woven into the fabric, that it what I'm finding this week.
It's so intense but so interesting at the same time, its a real insight into
how the brain learns and links things together.

YEs yes, the physical stuff can manifest if you don't have a effective way to
move the junk out of your field. ALL ILLNESSES HAVE AN ENERGETIC BASIS
Here is one of my most simple ones, processing tools, and it might
sound too good to be true, but try it and you will see that its very powerful.
It's a Mantra and it goes like this.

" I release and let go all past, present and future issues around_________"

You repeat this over and over, and stay in your body. You will yawn,
then feel things rising up, keep saying it. Also work on the opposite polarity
of the same issue, so you have worked from both ends of the stick.
So add in a NOT.

I will give you all a working example. Say you have a problem with
speaking out, finding your voice in the world. You would say this........

" I release and let go all past present and future issues around speaking"

IF you are finding you are not getting results, get more specific, add in
the word "fears" instead of "issues".
Then when you feel like you have moved most or all of it, work the polarity
of the same issue.
" I release and let go all past present and future issues around NOT SPEAKING"

And you might also want to do the same in respect to others so you have
covered your projections. So it would look something like this

"I release and let go all past present and future issues around OTHERS SPEAKING"

Now its vitally IMPORTANT to NOT JUDGE yourself in anyways, this is also
clearing past life issues. I have a system i use with this particular clearing
method where i will clear a persons energy field from head to foot, and
beyond, and have seen some major life turn arounds using it.
Some of the mantras that come up for me to get them
to use can make no sense to them, as they are past life, or denied issues,
so the non judgement clause is very important. If you beat yourself up , healing
cannot occur.

This is simple, but it can also get very intense if you are doing it right.
Stick with it and it will save you thousands of dollars of regular talking
therapy, i kid you not. If you can feel it you can remove it. The trick is to
have the courage to feel what you are uncomfortable with. But this time
you are feeling in order to remove it, not so much to re- live it.
As a guide, sometimes you need to say one version of the mantra 20 times,
sometimes, 200, but usually its around a few minutes to 5 - 10 to clear a whole
layer out of your field. And i find its a good idea to move your body while doing
this, it frees up the energy faster.
But with any tool, try the way i suggest first, then make it your own.

Great post, Astrid, and I'm sure it does work.
It's reprogramming the subconscious, and I particularly like the fact that you do the opposite as well, as that will bring everything into balance.

Omega is an amazing community. I love it there. It was there I learned about what a real community could be like and how we live all wrong, especially if we want to be living as waste free as possible and in situations where we learn from each other and have a personal investment in our brothers and sisters growing and thriving on every level available.

We need pics of White Tail...

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Here and now, y'all. Carpe diem. It's easier to be in the moment, cognizant of the moment, aware and conscious of that which is my environment, when I am at home, and not at work. Or better said, when I am anywhere rather than the office. Often, I must be on the road during work, but the majority of my time is spent in the office, energetically balancing the feminine and masculine energies (I am the only male in the office), and it is tiring, besides my normal duties. I could reserve my energy, but that is antithesis to the service that our program provides. I must be dilligent and active, despite the apathy of others. This problem exists much to the inattention of the directors. When you add in ineptidtude and the downright dishonesty of my directors, sometimes I feel my integrity being compromised by default. As above, so below, huh? It's depleting to maintain integrity in the midst of virulent apathy and self-centeredness. Also, muss es sein. I find myself at times at odds with the job, which is a service to others, though it is a bureaucratic clusterf***. What I do is I try to concentrate in the service to others. It is such that doth sustain.

Cheers all, and keep on keepin' on. Your positivity positively posits others to be of positive service to others. Much love.

I'm picking him up now.

I'll have to dress him in his Sunday best.
I think I would hurt his feelings right now if I.
Took a picture of him. He looks so forlorn.

and his injuries are really gross looking.

I'll look for an older picture of him or take one when the time is right.

Wow that was a very very powerful circle loads of healing done on
some very dense dark energies. Very cool.

I thank the circle of circles of Grandfathers for their transmuting and transforming powers.

And... i just got word on Justin,( the worse surviving head injury case the hospital has seen)
- he now has some speech, it's basic but it's there, and he is starting to be able to eat on his
own. WOW, what an amazing recovery he is making
Again, for all that responded to the call, thank you
from my heart to yours.

Good night, Ernie and Here and Nowers...wondering if the Modwiz-Eaglespirit meet-up might start a critical mass movement and more of us can meet in or near New York one day...
I would love that.

Good night, Ernie and Here and Nowers...wondering if the Modwiz-Eaglespirit meet-up might start a critical mass movement and more of us can meet in or near New York one day...
I would love that.

I think it would be amusing for many to understand that although Eaglespirit and I will most likely see each other every day and possibly twice a day, (I take only two of the three meals offered daily, breakfast is too early for me) we may only have conversations a few times in 6 months. Omega is living a form of the dream we all talk about. Other than commenting on a beautiful day or going to a function, there is little to talk about. A smile says so much. Sure there are the chatty types and even I can get get verbose. As a rule, not too much yakking for me. I have things to sort out.

It would be wonderful to see and 'feel' others as you envision it, Ulli.

[meeradas]

I used to say 'get rid of the world's golf courses and you destroy the breeding grounds of conspiracies'.
But lately I don't even worry about the conspirators any more.

Wise saying, Ulli.
I'm still concerned about golf though.

Golf is a good walk spoiled.... :)

Thanks to everyone for their deep sharing. It does help with perspective.
I am still teetering on the lips of the abyss. I am neither complacent nor choked.

As Kirtana sings:

I'm pulling in the oars of this tiny boat,
growing weary of the rowing
and all the effort to reach some shore,
when it's not shore where I'm going

Rising with the tide, breaking with the wave,
I surrender every notion
that there is someone here to save --
as if I'm separate from the ocean!

And I surrender to the mystery
In the lap of God I rest my case
The force that bore this world can carry me
Who am I to question grace?

I surrender to the mystery
and to the love that rises up to sing
The force that bore this world can carry me
I really don't know anything....

Cold and rainy here today,

Autumn brings, i just went shopping for some
new second hand winter woolies, always love
shopping for recycled bargains, i think Ulli and i
both share that passion.

I keep feeling that i should be doing something,
but i don't know what that something is.
Maybe my listening skills are a bit off this week.

Hi Ulli
Love your thread, how could I possibly miss it for 632 pages, my apology,s
Won,t promise to read all 632 pages, but, will give important relevent information to my moving forward the utmost scrutiny, thanks again Ulli.

House is quiet, except my crazy nocturnal purr box Shadow, she is good company.
Wind is howling outside and the rain is playing a symphony on my old steel roof, sometimes hard like bass or drums, sometimes just a lovely gentle pitter patter, man, I really love it.
Well, it is after 3 am now, wife will be getting up for work, time to start the coffee and see if i can wake her up.

Had something a bit more challenging in mind for you ...


http://www.bestweekever.tv/bwe/images/2010/03/brail-rubiks-cube-3912-1268927757-96.jpg

[dan33]

Been thinking about Astrid doing shadow work in a group. Man that's hardcore! But given the chance I'd go for it, although I know I'd end up foetal on the floor, with my thumb in my mouth! Ive had some breakthru's myself recently. But at first,after I'd dealt with a really deep issue, I didnt end up all light and bouncy and looking great like I hoped. Instead I got spots!! Im not kidding. Spots everywhere, even on the end of my nose. Gross. All the crud coming up I guess. I look fine now!


That was me this week, fetal on the floor,
and from a long term avoider of all things uncomfortable,
i have learnt that lesson well and these days i walk straight into the fire.
Turns out it's like a few mins at best, a couple of days at worst and you are
set free from what ever you were being bound by. And the best news of all
that in the shadow hides all the good stuff, think of all the times you were
told not to do something as a kid, and you were repressed in some way,
that thing gets shoved in the shadow closet.
So when you process another layer, also tangled up in that layer is many a gold
nugget of your creative selves.

Things that happen concurrently in time, can get linked together, if trauma is
involved then those things are twisted in the same traumatic knot.
So there is then a list of things that you can no longer do with ease.
When you unravel and unpack and process you can find all sorts of things
hidden and woven into the fabric, that it what I'm finding this week.
It's so intense but so interesting at the same time, its a real insight into
how the brain learns and links things together.

YEs yes, the physical stuff can manifest if you don't have a effective way to
move the junk out of your field. ALL ILLNESSES HAVE AN ENERGETIC BASIS
Here is one of my most simple ones, processing tools, and it might
sound too good to be true, but try it and you will see that its very powerful.
It's a Mantra and it goes like this.

" I release and let go all past, present and future issues around_________"

You repeat this over and over, and stay in your body. You will yawn,
then feel things rising up, keep saying it. Also work on the opposite polarity
of the same issue, so you have worked from both ends of the stick.
So add in a NOT.

I will give you all a working example. Say you have a problem with
speaking out, finding your voice in the world. You would say this........

" I release and let go all past present and future issues around speaking"

IF you are finding you are not getting results, get more specific, add in
the word "fears" instead of "issues".
Then when you feel like you have moved most or all of it, work the polarity
of the same issue.
" I release and let go all past present and future issues around NOT SPEAKING"

And you might also want to do the same in respect to others so you have
covered your projections. So it would look something like this

"I release and let go all past present and future issues around OTHERS SPEAKING"

Now its vitally IMPORTANT to NOT JUDGE yourself in anyways, this is also
clearing past life issues. I have a system i use with this particular clearing
method where i will clear a persons energy field from head to foot, and
beyond, and have seen some major life turn arounds using it.
Some of the mantras that come up for me to get them
to use can make no sense to them, as they are past life, or denied issues,
so the non judgement clause is very important. If you beat yourself up , healing
cannot occur.

This is simple, but it can also get very intense if you are doing it right.
Stick with it and it will save you thousands of dollars of regular talking
therapy, i kid you not. If you can feel it you can remove it. The trick is to
have the courage to feel what you are uncomfortable with. But this time
you are feeling in order to remove it, not so much to re- live it.
As a guide, sometimes you need to say one version of the mantra 20 times,
sometimes, 200, but usually its around a few minutes to 5 - 10 to clear a whole
layer out of your field. And i find its a good idea to move your body while doing
this, it frees up the energy faster.
But with any tool, try the way i suggest first, then make it your own.

Really good post! Thanks astrid

[Lisab]

Yes Astrid, really helpful and much appreciated. And funny you mention the issues with speaking up, that is sooo me! Grateful for the affirmation. Ive writted it down. Its an obvious sync too.

[Rainbowbrite]

Good morning everyone!

My here and now: 10.29am The sun is shining! So happy to see the sun after days of over cast stillness - i love the changeable weather in the UK but i'm so very ready to see the sun. My eldest is sat doing her college work and my dog sat looking really pleased with herself (not sure why, methinks she knows something i don't LOL). I'm thinking of what i need to start making sauerkraut, i'm on my way with a diet change (Dawns thread in alternative medicines and sciences is where i got the info) that is already proving to be really beneficial. I feel energised! I'm planning on doing work in the garden today, the recent rain has made things grow and my veggies and herbs require some attention. I've seen so many bees today - this makes me very happy and i welcome them, old friends returning.

Thank you to Astrid for posting your methods of dealing with deep wounds. Wonderful reading - i think that will be very helpful to many readers here, guests and members alike. Myself included :)

Through the events of the last few days my logical thinking has been turning to the nature of addiction - this is also because i'm not eating carbs and sugars, dealing with physical cravings is interesting. I wonder how many of our wounds we're concious of stay so stuck because, although they're unpleasant, they're comforting in a self defining way and like sugar/tobacco/alcohol etc, are addictive by nature. And if they're that, then do i really need to define myself to myself through deepset pain? Obviously not - but understanding this and breaking this cycle are two different things. This is where methods and processes come in i think. I've also wondered if the cause of fear of dealing with issues is due to concern of 'who will i be without it?' (as well as simply facing it, that's scary enough!)... Which is, in essence, fear of the unknown. 'Know thyself' is a phrase that springs to mind. So, my conclusion to this, for anyone reading who this makes sense to - would be to allow yourself to forgive yourself and really look into ways that you can help yourself deal and move on, in the wholeness that is you. The results are amazing!

As you say, Astrid, the best stuff lies underneath!

Yes Astrid, really helpful and much appreciated. And funny you mention the issues with speaking up, that is sooo me! Grateful for the affirmation. Ive writted it down. Its an obvious sync too.

Lisab, i've printed the post. Read under the sun, when i can, is ... i don't know, more powerful. May be it's not the word.... but i sense more that way.

If I had to choose a card on the shadow, the best is the Devil. Two people tied to the cubic stone (matter, the illusion). Behind them a "Frankenstein" (Frankonstin for meeradas) that is an illusion, it does not exist. The Devil, the fear, always lurks behind someone, this is his only strength.

[astrid]

There is so much more to that particular technique
than I detailed in my post , I just gave a bare bones
version of it for simplicity and to give people the idea
I havent used it myself for a while and I had forgotten
how powerful it was . Even more so that you can clear
yourself - it's always more profound when you can heal
yourself . Not to say getting outside help is a sign of
weakness quite the contrary , just that it's empowering
to know you can help yourself especially if it's an issue
you have been stuck on for ages .
I love giving out tools to people it's so inspiring to see
the shifts especially when they have been stuck
in patterns and have been in and out of standard
therapy forever and the issue has not resolved .

This week I'm going to be using this tech for a full
body clear out on myself . I will post more details
as i go along .

Sleep is eluding me tonight more just a series of naps
than a prolonged sleep . I'm sure it's because in working
through shadow stuff and my energies are all shifting
around . More later

Just as I opened this post my phone rang and a local woman who has been giving me massages called me to ask me to help interpret a dream for her which she found disturbed her greatly. The dream was about a spiritual battle, where she had to stand up to a demon who wanted to harm her (not yet born) twin granddaughters.
I know she is very concerned about her daughter's pregnancy, as the babies are in a breach position.
So I thought her fears would have caused the dream.

But after probing a bit more it turns out that the professor who has been training her has been making some strange advances,
and even visited her at her home, and made embarrassing comments to her in front of other members of her family.

So since then she has been in conflict, and lost faith in him. It seems that she was under his spell for a while but last week discovered that he has a hidden agenda,
and she wants no part of it.


Integrating our inner shadow personalities is one thing, and healthy, and so is being open to all and welcoming all,
but on certain occasions there appear people on the screen of one's life who need to be avoided,
and a choice has to be made and a new orientation towards what is best for a person must be found.
The image of the devil stands for everything that one wants to turn away from.

Her choice now is to give up her feelings of attraction towards this man and instead face her new responsibilities in helping her daughter,
a single mum, with the twins who are due to be born in 6 weeks.
So what I'm saying, no matter how far one wants to integrate one's inner shadow, there is always some greater darkness that is best be left alone.

[astrid]

Hmmm that is a concern
I smell socery aka neg thought forms / curses
I will talk with you privately about this so not to
clog up thread . I would like to make sure those
babies are safe.

I will look it up and see if it is ok to give to dogs and if it is counteractive to any of the medications he is taking.

Last time he was really sick he had some sort of seizure when he had the high fever. They are now worried about meningitis. I am making the drive in the morning to watch him while Peanut goes to class, and I have to return to the doctor with him at 11am. This is getting a little scary, so if anyone can help...please...

This is an essential element mostly absent from the modern diet, and not only will it promote optimal health in those who choose to take it, but it will also reduce the effect of ionizing radiation, as in fukishima. It supports glandular health, as well, which translates to a clear set o' chakras.

[Ernie Nemeth]

I have a customer who has problems with kidney stones. I was wondering if there was any effective way to treat them. He cannot get help through our Canadian health care until June and he is in a great deal of pain. I said I'd ask around for alternative treatment modalities. Any ideas anyone?

I keep thinking of White Tail and I've focused on him several times in the last few days. Hope he will be well soon.

Astrid, I applaud your work. Amazing. One day soon you won't even need a conventional connection to post here, I'd bet. I'm gonna use your clearing technique too.

I'm not sure which of you is luckier, Modwiz or Eaglespirit. I envy you two.

Ulli, hope your friend has no troubles with the birth. Nasty business with the doctor, though. Could affect things negatively if not resolved.

PL, love that fire. I see a dragon rearing its head to the left of the main fire.

Lisab, a special hug.

Dan, liked how you neutralized the 15 card.

Hey ernie - don't I know it. Little One is my grandson, he's 3 :) Peanut is his mama, my daughter who is now 21...as of last weekend :) Little One and I have had some sort of weird connection since he was born. He says he's going to live at my house all the time when he grows up lol. He comes to the country just about every weekend because he doesn't do well if he goes too long without a visit. He adores my crystals, especially the black ones, and usually plays with them at night while he is falling asleep. Last time we counted them, there were I think 21, and he made me help him name them all. He loves to handle them, and has taken plenty of them home. Has his own collection :)

Grand Jury to Determine
the Fate of Daniel Smith (and MMS)



A man’s life - and that of his friends and family - hangs in the balance. They need our immediate help. The FDA’s prosecutor has called for a federal grand jury to be convened in the Eastern District of Washington in less than ten days. We don’t have much time to make history.

Please take a stand to help save MMS and Daniel Smith from the FDA: http://iamnotananimal.org/

The FDA seeks to have the courts declare MMS a "drug" subject to regulation by the FDA and to charge Daniel Smith of Project GreenLife and others with violations of Title 18 Section 371, "Conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States" in violation of The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act.

On June 29, 2011, without any warning, the FDA raided Daniel Smith’s home along with two companies that did Project GreenLife's fulfillment and bottling.

Armed with guns and vests, they seized everything: computers, hard drives, business records, private member records, product, equipment, and every penny from every bank account, wiping Project GreenLife out all in a single afternoon. Not a bad day’s work for a stealthy yearlong operation.

Project GreenLife was a 1st and 14th Amendment Private Membership Association. As Trustee, Daniel wrote the FDA a year prior, asking if the agency had any legal and valid objection to making MMS available to private members in the private domain.

By the help and counsel of the ProAdvocate Group, Daniel based his inquiry on a good-faith understanding of U.S. Supreme Court case law as it pertained to the activities of a private association. Daniel told the FDA unless they objected within ten days he would assume they had no objection.

While they could have just replied, they didn’t, leaving Daniel to believe he was free to go about his business. In the meanwhile, FDA agents spent a year quietly going through his garbage, putting GPS tracking devices on his cars, having agents sign membership contracts affirming they were not federal agents so they could make fraudulent buys.

Slowly and methodically they gathered enough information to craft a story that would shock a Magistrate into granting them nearly a hundred warrants so they could completely wipe Project GreenLife out all in a single day. They wanted to teach Daniel Smith a lesson, limit the availability of MMS to the world, and make sure nobody else tried exercising their constitutional rights.

Daniel has been fighting for his life and the lives of his people for ten months with very little resources and without an attorney. He’s kept everything under wraps until now.

If the FDA wins this case, it would result in a horrible precedent by an uninformed court’s determination that MMS and sodium chlorite are “drugs” subject to regulatory oversight, and Daniel and others may go to prison for a very long time.

But they’ve underestimated the MMS Movement. We have a chance to turn it all around and stop this before it goes any further. Both a grand jury and trial jury can put an end to the tyranny of rogue agencies like the FDA with what is called "Jury Nullification".

Google those words and share what you learn. If we band together, Jury Nullification could be the end of corrupt government.

Prosecutors, judges, and agencies like the FDA are terrified of the words “Jury Nullification” because it educates jurors of their right and power to decide what is and isn’t a “just” law, placing the real Power back into the hands of the People where it belongs.

This is how the prohibition on alcohol was repealed in America in 30’s. Juries simply refused to convict because the law was unjust.

Harlan F. Stone, the 12th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1941 said: “The law itself is on trial quite as much as the cause which is to be decided...

If a juror feels that the statute involved in any criminal offence is unfair, or that it infringes upon the defendant's natural god-given unalienable or constitutional rights, then it is his duty to affirm that the offending statute is really no law at all and that the violation of it is no crime at all, for no one is bound to obey an unjust law.”

Juries are made of people like you and me. They aren't dumb and they can see through greedy government charades if they are provided with enough facts.

The facts in this case are sodium chlorite is not a drug, the FDA has no jurisdiction, and Daniel Smith and Project GreenLife are not criminals. The problem is, grand juries tend to only hear the prosecutor's version of the story, and trial juries rarely hear the evidence that would acquit.

However, a prosecutor is obligated to share "exculpatory evidence" and we can help with that!

The jury needs to hear that sodium chlorite is not a drug, that chlorine dioxide, privately made, is perfectly safe to use, and that the FDA is overreaching!

They also need to know that Daniel Smith and his people are not criminals. They need to hear they (the jury) have the power to put an end to the FDA’s 110 year reign of sickness and terror.

Here is a link to Sample Declarations you can download and read. If you agree, and you are willing to take a stand for Daniel and his family, and for MMS, and to tell the government and the FDA to BACK OFF, and to help the Jury get reacquainted with their true Power; then simply SIGN AND SEND!

Follow the instructions for 10,000 Declarations on IAmNotAnAnimal.org. It will cost only the money and time it takes to mail and you could help make history and save more lives. I doubt any court or jury has received thousands of testimonies like this, until now.

Every declaration counts. Don’t think other people will send enough that yours won’t matter. If everyone thinks that, no one will send anything, and Daniel Smith and his family will be left to the sharks and the tyranny will continue.

PGL helped the MMS movement grow by making MMS available all over the world for over four years. They gave half of every bottle sold back to those who shared it. Here is our chance to support them in return and get the truth about MMS and the FDA on the Record!

Remember, we have less than ten days. Let’s see if we can get 10,000 Declarations sent THIS weekend."

Sorry Ulli and others, this can be deleted when a thread is up if you like......
I know we have some MMS users, fans here.

Astrid, go for it. Thanks in advance.

There are one member and 34 guests Here and Now in the Village hi :wave:

Hey Lisab.

I looked up Bach Flower for dogs and they have a perfect formula for White Tail and his current condition.
Star of Bethlehem. I am so happy. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Nora :wave:
It's you and me and 19 guests.
I'm so happy to hear about White Tail. Please give him a special nuzzle from me.
One, do you know if it is viral or bacterial meningitis suspected? I have treated viral infections (not meningitis but other serious conditions) with antiviral essential oils. A good combo is ravensara, basil, and clove essential oils. Also important to keep immune system strong. Your health food store should have an immune tea blend, or non-alcoholic tincture. Make a soup with sh!take mushrooms, thyme, rosemary, garlic. Help keep vibrations high with good thoughts, laughter and fun, as much as you can. Blessings and love to you and your family.
Love to all in the village.

Wow what a day.
Out of the blue a friend of mine built me a website for my healing work,
and then i was given the most perfect domain name from one of my
higher helpers, and surprised surprise it was not taken.
So looks like i have a home for my work, kind of was not
even thinking about this or looking at doing for at least
6 months, but i guess the time is now.
When its all up and running i will give more details.
I will doing free or donation based work for a fair while
until i build up my client base.

Life is moving along so fast!!
I guess i better get with the program.

[modwiz]

It would be cool if Chinaski and Whitefeather could pull together an Omega visit some time in the next 6 months. They are upstate NY people. There are a few others, but these two are known in the village.

Thinking out loud. :horn:

Great news on your site Astrid. Congrats.

[ViralSpiral]

Astrid, such great news!! Perhaps that's what the "unsettling" feeling was that you had. If you think I can be of any assistance i.r.o creating awareness when all is up and ready, please holler.

1iM, once again sending healing waves.

PurpleLama LOVE your pics!!! Moah please :)

Russell`s Teapot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot)

Russell's teapot, sometimes called the celestial teapot or cosmic teapot, is an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) to illustrate the idea that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making scientifically unfalsifiable claims rather than shifting the burden of proof to others, specifically in the case of religion. Russell wrote that if he claimed that a teapot were orbiting the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, it would be nonsensical for him to expect others not to doubt him on the grounds that they could not prove him wrong. Russell's teapot is still referred to in discussions concerning the existence of God.


The Elixir of Immortality

A Modern-Day Alchemist’s Discovery of the Philosopher’s Stone

By (author) Robert E. Cox

ISBN-13: 978-1-59477-303-7
ISBN: 1-59477-303-3

Robert says that when the alchemists used antimony, they used impure antimony. Antimony and bismuth are found together. The alchemists antimony was contaminated with bismuth. That until the 18th century, it was often confused with lead, another known 'alchemical' component.

That in the making of the stone, antimony and lead both had to be removed, otherwise the person would be poisoned. It was the bismuth, all along. which is why the vast majority of attempts which use antimony or lead, fail. Due to the bismuth being removed, as they used pure elements.

That the secret, is bismuth.

Now, read this list of 'effects' and potentials in this particular situation. This exactly correlates to the considered effects of the philosopher's stone. Remove the antimony and make the stone, with gold and bismuth, and see the claimed similarities to the stone's behavior, as it is supposedly locking to the DNA in the body and the nervous system.


New material shares many of graphene's unusual properties

Graphene, a single-atom-thick layer of carbon, has spawned much research into its unique electronic, optical and mechanical properties. Now, researchers at MIT have found another compound that shares many of graphene’s unusual characteristics — and in some cases has interesting complementary properties to this much-heralded material.

The material, a thin film of bismuth-antimony, can have a variety of different controllable characteristics, the researchers found, depending on the ambient temperature and pressure, the material’s thickness and the orientation of its growth. The research, carried out by materials science and engineering PhD candidate Shuang Tang and Institute Professor Mildred Dresselhaus, appears in the journal Nano Letters.

Like graphene, the new material has electronic properties that are known as two-dimensional Dirac cones, a term that refers to the cone-shaped graph plotting energy versus momentum for electrons moving through the material. These unusual properties — which allow electrons to move in a different way than is possible in most materials — may give the bismuth-antimony films properties that are highly desirable for applications in manufacturing next-generation electronic chips or thermoelectric generators and coolers.

In such materials, Tang says, electrons “can travel like a beam of light,” potentially making possible new chips with much faster computational abilities. The electron flow might in some cases be hundreds of times faster than in conventional silicon chips, he says.

Similarly, in a thermoelectric application — where a temperature difference between two sides of a device creates a flow of electrical current — the much faster movement of electrons, coupled with strong thermal insulating properties, could enable much more efficient power production. This might prove useful in powering satellites by exploiting the temperature difference between their sunlit and shady sides, Tang says.

Such applications remain speculative at this point, Dresselhaus says, because further research is needed to analyze additional properties and eventually to test samples of the material. This initial analysis was based mostly on theoretical modeling of the bismuth-antimony film’s properties.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth

When you peruse the wiki entry on bismuth, there will be many interesting points about bismuth, as oddities go. All of them fit alchemy like a glove.

The only primordial isotope of bismuth, is bismuth-209, with a half life of over a billion times longer than the current estimated age of the universe. It is a natural and very low level radioactivity, that is part of bismuth's normal behavior. Bismuth is still considered to be safe, after this discovery of the isotope in 2003. It is that faint, that it was never found until then. So don't worry about it. But it is key. It is the longest lived alpha decay particle known to exist. so in at least one aspect, it contains a known extreme limit. One that is a billion times the life of the universe.

Russell's Teapot is not found wanting.

[ulli]

Just woke up, feeling a bit dehydrated after pizza and wine (just one glass) last night.
I'm thrilled for you, Astrid...didn't I foresee some major planets around this time?
wasn't this the time you had originally planned a trip...some seminar, which then got cancelled?
This is to show that not only are you ready to plunge in and start your very wondrous service,
but also that there is a great need out there for what you have to offer, hence the universe speeded things up a bit.

Thanks Astrid.

Well, frankly I'm freaking out
I didn't forsee this at all,
i had envisioned easing myself into
a practice, of sorts, rather being dropped in the drink, lol.

Oh well, normally i never get dealt what i can't handle, so
gulp, here goes. I better learn how to swim and fast.

Tom also, as per usual form was spot on with what i have

I walk softly on Mother Earth. I have created a peaceful living for myself and my loved ones. People coming into my home feel it from the moment they come in.

The downside of this is that I will do anything to avoid conflict even if it means ignoring my needs. The only exception to this is when I am a shield to those who have no voice. Why not treat myself with the same respect? I have isolated myself quite a bit to keep this peace. So, I’m thinking, this peace of mine is not really full.

Lately, I have been walking on egg shells around someone dear to my heart. I am putting myself in a corner again and not feeling good about it. I am giving my power away big time. I do not want to “rattle the cage” because I am afraid of “being bad”. This is of no service to anyone.

I am beginning to understand the lie. Saying my truth does not make me bad, it makes me genuine. Yes, it can ruffle some feathers. I guess I’ll just have to find a way to deal with it in a peaceful way.

I dreamt of the groundhog last night. It is time for some digging… like Tom says … extend my roots into the deep, dark soil of my soul. The timing is on schedule, today is a me day.

Astrid, I am happy that your work is moving forward. You have helped me a lot Here and Now. It is just natural for you.

Life is good.

[Alekahn]

Tom also, as per usual form was spot on with what i have
been already dealing with this week, deep sea diving.

Thank you Astrid for all you are and do here on Gaia...that goes for all of you here in the village.
This morning, here and now...there are thick waves of fog coming and lifting in the
mountains...listened to Tom's Pele report very early and feel compelled to note
a portion which was for me, experientially akin to an electric shock up and down the length and breadth of
this vehicle, this temple. Then, four cattle escaped their fence line! So...during the rounding up of
these 1/2 ton, very sentient creatures, I was contemplating the following:

"...it's time to work!...it's initiation time, testing time. We are being tested. We are being initiated.
We need to get down to the root of our own issues...it's time to look at ourselves...now."
:wizard: (Yikes!)

The mantra for the week, which speaks to me:

" The more I extend my roots into the deep dark soil of my soul,
the more I am moved (by the forces of life!) to expand my senses,
like leaves that transform the light of the Sun
into the breath of life."

Into a new day, we go to the places we have not yet met,
opening with ruthless honesty to our past momentum, our karma.

Digging, diving deep now we are..."to new heights together" we are going.
"We are shedding, shedding, shedding...!" The 'timing' of it all, now,
is impeccable!

I have much work to do it seems, more than I had thought!. ;)
(Off to fix...the fence, walking softly, diving deep within.)

Peace, blessings to all sentient life during this testing space/time.

Once again I am in awe of y'all. Made the trek to the city, played with Little One, took him to the doctor. The doctor and nurse both acted like they had seen some type of miracle recovery. They had not met him before yesterday, and when they met him he was "like death." The doctor said after seeing him yesterday, he was seriously worried. White blood cell count was triple normal, a really big infection had hit him, not a virus. And today, he was talkative and up and being "normal"...as far as 3 year old boys go lol... and they were shocked.

I said to Peanut, "well, ya know, there were a lot of loving thoughts and energies flowing his way last night." Her response? "Yeah, whatever."

Now, I ask you...is there any other explanation? I mean, really, I have helped raise 5 kids of my own, and I won't add all the plus this one or plus that one...and I have never known an antibiotic to whip anything in one dose.

Grrr. Sigh.

Thank you all ...

Much Love,

Good news all round tonight. So good to get in to the Village's loving vibes after a long day in work. Im so relieved about your grandson 1. And Astrid .... woo hoo! but no surprises here! Count me in as among the first of your clientele.

Actually, some of the newer antibiotics can cure in one dose, like third generation Cephalosporins.
Including a first time ear infection.
But I'm sure at least 50% of the recovery can be attributed to the Power of the Healing Village.
As would have been the case with White Tail. The rest was being home again with Mother Nora.

Do you happen to know where one might purchase thin sheets of bismuth at a reasonable price, Carmody?
I researched this a while back and was unable to locate any.

Listening to discussion of Bertrand Russell's writings at my Grandfather's kitchen table is such a fond memory.
Thanks for reminding me.

[astrid]

Little ones are always sick wih something
while they are building up there immune systems.
It's the ones that are wrapped in cotton wool
never allowed outside to play in the dirt and
hardly ever get sick that end up as sickly adults
with fragile immune systems .
But in saying that constant antibiotics are not good
either I would be really encouraging a good yogurt
added to his diet and for quite a while .
I use to always insist a candida medication be
prescribed along side any antibiotic I was given
- I'm talking when I was grown up.

When I was a kid it was ear aches and sore throats
But lookin back now and knowing what i do these
days about healing and how sensitive I was to my
environment I can find the cause of both of those.
Ear aches as of all the garbage I had to listen too
And sore throats as I was not allowed to express
myself .

Not a blame statement intended as my parents did
what they thought was right given how they were
raised , more just a perspective on the origins of
energy blocks becoming illnesses. And how where
they are tells us much about there causes.

But excellent newS 1im , what happens when we all
send out is that person ( or animal) gets a power
boost. And as we already created a connection
previously it gets faster and the power is stronger
as less energy is being used in getting through
the collective crud .
Don't worry yourself that your daughter is a sceptic
just focus on the results . When I get that reaction
I send them back a blessing back down the same
channel they sent me the " whatever" . Really it's
not our job to proove or justify anything to anyone.
That's a big fat waste of good energy, so resist the
urge to get into battles on that front and just hold
gratitude in your heart.
I practice gratitude twice a day when I wake up I
say thank you for the day as though everything in its
highest potential has already happened this is important
as a prayer based on lack will result in lack .
And again before I sleep I thank the day after it
has happened . I do this regardless of whatever the
experiences were . Spirit always has plans and workings
far greater than what we can see, so there is really no
point wasting energy getting all grumpy when things
don't pan out the way we might have hoped for .
We always get what we need regardless
of whether it's what we want .
Just think earth school and you have got it .
But to sum up here, gratitude is a great one to
pracitce and don't forget to detach to outcomes.

Carmody it's good to see your presence here,
you have been quiet of late. Hopefully that means
you are busy catching up on work and all is well

[Carmody]

Something I have noticed since working this "sticky spot"
is that my timing is all off . In that I'm not syncing with
3D Julian calendar time at all . Getting days wrong -
i seem to be ahead of time by a day , like I thought
i completely missed healing clinic yesterday only to find
that it was today. Then I messaged a friend to say I will
pick him up in the morning for an appt only to find its not
til Thursday . Weird . This digging up the past has thrown
me into the future it seems

I warned you that when you go down that road that time would go non-linear on you, regarding your capacity to identify with the rest of the 'real' world. :p

When I was in that space, at my deepest, I sometimes did not know what year it was or the names of people I knew my entire life.

It is here. It has arrived.

Russell`s Teapot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot)

Russell's teapot, sometimes called the celestial teapot or cosmic teapot, is an analogy first coined by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) to illustrate the idea that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making scientifically unfalsifiable claims rather than shifting the burden of proof to others, specifically in the case of religion. Russell wrote that if he claimed that a teapot were orbiting the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, it would be nonsensical for him to expect others not to doubt him on the grounds that they could not prove him wrong. Russell's teapot is still referred to in discussions concerning the existence of God.


The Elixir of Immortality

A Modern-Day Alchemist’s Discovery of the Philosopher’s Stone

By (author) Robert E. Cox

ISBN-13: 978-1-59477-303-7
ISBN: 1-59477-303-3

Robert says that when the alchemists used antimony, they used impure antimony. Antimony and bismuth are found together. The alchemists antimony was contaminated with bismuth. That until the 18th century, it was often confused with lead, another known 'alchemical' component.

That in the making of the stone, antimony and lead both had to be removed, otherwise the person would be poisoned. It was the bismuth, all along. which is why the vast majority of attempts which use antimony or lead, fail. Due to the bismuth being removed, as they used pure elements.

That the secret, is bismuth.

Now, read this list of 'effects' and potentials in this particular situation. This exactly correlates to the considered effects of the philosopher's stone. Remove the antimony and make the stone, with gold and bismuth, and see the claimed similarities to the stone's behavior, as it is supposedly locking to the DNA in the body and the nervous system.


New material shares many of graphene's unusual properties

Graphene, a single-atom-thick layer of carbon, has spawned much research into its unique electronic, optical and mechanical properties. Now, researchers at MIT have found another compound that shares many of graphene’s unusual characteristics — and in some cases has interesting complementary properties to this much-heralded material.

The material, a thin film of bismuth-antimony, can have a variety of different controllable characteristics, the researchers found, depending on the ambient temperature and pressure, the material’s thickness and the orientation of its growth. The research, carried out by materials science and engineering PhD candidate Shuang Tang and Institute Professor Mildred Dresselhaus, appears in the journal Nano Letters.

Like graphene, the new material has electronic properties that are known as two-dimensional Dirac cones, a term that refers to the cone-shaped graph plotting energy versus momentum for electrons moving through the material. These unusual properties — which allow electrons to move in a different way than is possible in most materials — may give the bismuth-antimony films properties that are highly desirable for applications in manufacturing next-generation electronic chips or thermoelectric generators and coolers.

In such materials, Tang says, electrons “can travel like a beam of light,” potentially making possible new chips with much faster computational abilities. The electron flow might in some cases be hundreds of times faster than in conventional silicon chips, he says.

Similarly, in a thermoelectric application — where a temperature difference between two sides of a device creates a flow of electrical current — the much faster movement of electrons, coupled with strong thermal insulating properties, could enable much more efficient power production. This might prove useful in powering satellites by exploiting the temperature difference between their sunlit and shady sides, Tang says.

Such applications remain speculative at this point, Dresselhaus says, because further research is needed to analyze additional properties and eventually to test samples of the material. This initial analysis was based mostly on theoretical modeling of the bismuth-antimony film’s properties.

http://phys.org/news/2012-04-material-graphene-unusual-properties.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth

When you peruse the wiki entry on bismuth, there will be many interesting points about bismuth, as oddities go. All of them fit alchemy like a glove.

The only primordial isotope of bismuth, is bismuth-209, with a half life of over a billion times longer than the current estimated age of the universe. It is a natural and very low level radioactivity, that is part of bismuth's normal behavior. Bismuth is still considered to be safe, after this discovery of the isotope in 2003. It is that faint, that it was never found until then. So don't worry about it. But it is key. It is the longest lived alpha decay particle known to exist. so in at least one aspect, it contains a known extreme limit. One that is a billion times the life of the universe.

Russell's Teapot is not found wanting.

Do you happen to know where one might purchase thin sheets of bismuth at a reasonable price, Carmody?
I researched this a while back and was unable to locate any.

Listening to discussion of Bertrand Russell's writings at my Grandfather's kitchen table is such a fond memory.
Thanks for reminding me.

ebay has some. usually in the form of drops/beads/shot, at 99.99% purity.

White Tail is doing much better.

He is responding to everything very well. -Remarkabley-
His wounds are healing and a lot of the swelling on his legs
has gone way down.
Friday he has a vet visit to remove the bandage from his head.

Over all his spirits are high although once in a while he does look to me for reassurance.

Blessings to everyone who did/is prayed for White Tail, had good thoughts, did healing work -seen and unseen faces- and to Lisab and Rainbowbrite for making suggestions
about holistic supplementation for him.
And thank you for helping me not jump out of my skin and helping me to stay relatively calm.


I think mother Nora is very happy he is alive and to have him home....

1inMany blessings to your grandson, you and the family. What a blessing that you are so present for your little one....

Found husband a new office today. Just around the corner from the old one where he has been for twenty years. Move is scheduled for July 1st, as the new place will need an overhaul. It's an old shack in the middle of Tres Rios. Great wave of relief has just created a ripple effect coming out of Costa Rica.
And ulli is getting an Etsy shop.
Also just received an invitation by 'the one' to the new forum...don't know yet how I can spare energy for them as I hardly have enough left for the Village with all that has been happening.
Last night I dreamt of Carmody. He suddenly showed up in Costa Rica at a huge crowded party which was hosted by Luis' family. He walked in off the street, and he looked like Cat Stevens used to in the seventies, and was wearing green cloth tennis shoes which had white laces and white rubber soles. I was very happy to see him, and then I saw other friends from Avalon and the Village as well, all people who normally lived alone, somewhere in the US, and I thought 'why not?' they all have the time and money to hop on a plane and come down to Costa Rica for a weekend. Nice dream.

[astrid]

Well last night I dreamt that I went to the Omega
Institute and met Modwiz. I was there for some sort
of event can't recall what it was . It was busy though,
large groups of people . I stayed for a few days

Just at docs now and being told I have to go back onto
HRT because I'm in very high risk of osteoporosis
he's agreed to an alternative which is bio identical
progesterone cream which is made up by a
compounding chemist . So it's natural and more gentle
solution . Downside is it is expensive . I wish there was
another way but my body can't seem to heal this one
And osteoporosis is no fun my mother has it and she
is always breaking bones . Joining the gym last week
was a good intuitive hit as load bearing exercise is
excellent for bone health in general .
i can't say I'm impressed with having to take
external hormones but at least my doc is supportive of
my natural therapy approach to things . I have heard
good things about progesterone creams though I know
they work .

[ulli]

@Astrid...you and me both dreaming of meeting with our Interet friends during the same night is quite a coincidence.
Especially since I don't often remember my dreams these days.
I have a feeling we all here are doing more for the collective consciousness than we realize.

[PurpleLama]

I also was hanging out with you guys in my dream last night, with modwiz prominently featured. About to go to bed now, to maybe do it again.

[Guest]

Since last Monday I have had interactions in my dreams with some of the Villagers too.
And a few of you since White Tail's fight with the coyote have actually met me in the ether to literally check up on me.

Then last night had a dream about some of the Villagers, martial artists
and Masters of the Spiritual Arts too. Definitely guidance going on there.

May the force be with you
another Bob . I will be thinking of you
as I end my day here.

Been putting down the bones of my website
tonight , I'm sure it's going to be an organic
unfolding process but i have the basic feel of it
sorted next to fill in the language of it , which might
take longer and some thought .

I had a very interesting journey experience early today
where I was witness to a dark whirlpool of trapped
unresolved unprocessed energies . At first it was my
stuff but then it became clearer it was a universal
metaphor . I went fishing to find a particular part I
have been trying to dig out and process and it floated
to the top and i leant over and pulled it out. At first it
appeared to me as a wet leaf then as I held it it
started to dry in the sunlight, and it morphed
into a beautiful white butterfly. It sat on my hand for
a short while watching me it was ever so grateful to
be given the chance again to join the cycle of life.
Then I watched it float up towards the sunlight filtering
through the trees . It was a wow monent.
I have to do some further investigating of this pool
I have never heard of anything similar before in
standard shamanic teachings but that's a good thing
It means I'm wide open and listening to much greater
possibilities than between the first and last page of
someone else's experiences .
The thing that struck me was that this pool was moving
not like a dead smelly pit, it was still very much alive
with potential and possibilities but it was just that
nothing could grow into its full being as the pool was
trapping and holding them in a state of suspense,
or something .
One thing that struck me was when it appeared to
me my physical energy was moving in rushes , how
I knew to pat attention to this particular scene and
investigate further which I did . At first it was in my field
like an extra chakra only between 2nd and 3rd and dark
blue in color . And I removed it placing the two funnels
in the ground and they quickly became rushing pools
filled wih particles . It looks like my weekend is going
to be busy investigating this further .

As I'm typing now I'm getting that it's called the pool
of shadows and it's now up to me to work at fishing
out and transforming these parts of myself .
The way that shamanism works to teach in
metaphors and archetypes is truly unbelievably
powerful in its ability to transform .
Now that was one seriously cool journey .

Good Morning

I've decided it's no wonder I'm worn out from battle. I'm married to Eeyore, Peanut thinks I'm the maternal one from Mommy Dearest, and I'm raising Sybil. Lmao. It is truly no wonder I struggle to keep my positive nature.

Doing work in my zen garden this morning. Okay, it's not exactly a zen garden, but I'm thinking of free ways to make it cozy. So far, I "buried" the cord to the pond-like thingy, I've trimmed the roses & one of the trees, pulled weeds from the grapes and flower bed, and I moved the old rickety bench that I love to a shady area where I can sit and enjoy my surroundings. From the bench, I can now watch the hummingbirds and cardinals...and all those other birds I can't identify...cheerily partake of nature's delicacies. I found an angel buried in some dirt and old sh!t, I'm thinking about spray painting it and putting it next to the bench. I'm also thinking of taking some of the "landscape rocks" that I have slowly but surely been moving to a big pile, and making a pathway or walkway with them.

It will be beautiful :) Have a great day.

Much Love,

p.s. Way Cool, Astrid!!!!!!

[Carmody]

Yesterday, when leaving the house around 7pm, I saw a single wild turkey crossing the (private) road. I was worried that it was all alone. I wanted to protect it, to help it find a group to be with.

When I got up this morning, like cats who sense your willingness to take them on.... the very first thing I did this day..was that I found myself less than two feet away from it, out my back kitchen window (the back yard is elevated to half wall height). And we stared at each other for a few minutes. Then it started to slam the window with it's beak. then it went to the other pane and did the same.

I had to break the spell, as it punched multiple holes in the window screen. (shooo! stop that!)

So yes, we do send out energy and others do receive it, and respond in turn.

For me, this at least a good, what, 500 instances of testing that aspect... and thus finding it real, every time?

Once one understands the truth of it in their thinking and thoughts/actions, then one steps into the true power of it. But only as a point of unfolding, for there is much, much more...beyond it's basic existence. Much more.

[modwiz]

Here and now I prepare for another day of set up. Eaglespirit was both helpful and amazing as he shimmied/climbed atop the frame of my tent platform to help me carefully place fabrics on the screen mesh roof that modern tents have. There are canopies to keep out rain but no real roof to keep heat in. I am a heat lover and clothes disdainer so this part is crucial to me. He also help me, from his perch, to double tarp my abode so that I have a sturdy roof over my tent roof. Tomorrow is the big move day. Bureaus and beds to move into the tent. I sleep on a queen size matress and boxspring. Just like home.

Onto the day.

Mod,

I love the mindset change when one goes such things. And, that in my personal experience, it takes ~6 months to fully set in. So, you are out there for that requisite 6 months, aren't you?

[Carmody]

it is always interesting to note, regarding the images of the bunny and the kittens..that the male of the human species is the one with the capacity to grow very long and very strong nails. to literally have them as tools and weapons. Women.....not so much. Much weaker nails. Thus, this fascination of women to have long nails, well....

It takes me longer than that, but then I don't live alone, and with a partner things do slow down.
Like an army which moves on it's belly...nothing can get done until everyone is on the same page.

But after two years I'm a completely new person which means restlessness sets in and the thought 'it's time to move again.' becomes a regular habit.
Since it has been ignored for three years now the compromise reached was to establish a second home for my hermit self in Barbados.
Now I can move every two months.

Oh and there I was thinking it had to do with class and that when one didn't have to do physical work one could tend one's nails.
The current nail fetishism comes mostly from the working class which is being bombarded as a large market, and therefore will bring cash to not just those who provide the products but also a whole service industry of nail salons which then can even provide employment.

Meanwhile, upper class women are bothering less and less with their nails and even proudly showing off bits of black earth being stuck underneath as that is a sign of them tending their own gardens.
Thus status symbols have changed with the current social situation.

P.S. Your post also reminded me of Howard Hughes who had allegedly grown his fingernails to such length that they spiraled out of his fingers. The last time he gave an interview he had his nails cut, but left his dinky finger nail, which he used to use as a screw driver for his movie projector.
He (allegedly) watched the movie Ice Station Zebra more than two hundred times.

I have to remember to cut my nails, they end up being too long, all the time..and..I've seen Bladerunner, in bits and pieces, at least 700 times. Closer to a thousand.

I'd like to explain those things, so they make more sense, but.... I'll have to leave that as is.

In 'the aviator', they portray Howard as someone who could be run up to with a technical problem of some depth,and he could figure it out on the spot. I can do similar. Howard suffered from sensitivity to data overload, as do I. Everything gets weighted equally. I can do the dishes, or solve world problems. Both carry the same complexity, or simplicity, when it comes to solving, for me.

Sort of a mild savant form of wiring, in some ways.

I think it is safe to say that, in all probability, that Howard ended up becoming fully aware of the nightmare that we are dealing with now. and that there is great potential that he was frustrated and locked out of doing anything on his own. That Howard was NOT mad, not in the slightest, but that he could do as he pleased, but he could not move forward with the skills he had, as he was forbidden, under penalty of death, from doing so.

it was a different time, when a person could still get things done, and go further, before they appeared on the radar of this now existent and deeply intruding machine or system.

Nowadays, all the really complex things have been understood and put to use, and there is now very little that they need to understand that can be brought to them by new ideas or new ideas from new people.

In earlier times, new thinking meant that a person had a chance of being picked up and being put to work by the machine. Nowadays, with so little left to be discovered, the inventors of any new technology that threatens them, those inventors are simply killed outright, destroyed in all ways possible. Simply due to them being that far advanced, that anything that some savant brings to the table, has already been done.

So, no reward for discovery. Only death.

Hughes Aircraft -Hughes aerospace -Lockheed - -Lockheed Martin. The infamous LockHeed Martin. All Borne from Howard Hughes, but not his, in the end. His run ended near the creation of Hughes Aerospace.

It's funny. For most of my life, including now, I have considered long nails decadent and a reasonable declaration of uselessness, although it is the garish fake ones that I am mainly talking about. I guess it would depend on ones definition of useful.

I am no fan of high heels either. Even for going to bed, which is the only logical explanation for them to me. I am obviously not referring to sleep.

Darn...I'm getting too old for all this reverse psychology child raising trickery.....
