Greetings, Villagers!

Thanks to all for your kindness, both publicly and privately! I certainly did not expect all this hubbub when I opened the page this morning, and sincerely appreciate all who have been reaching out with thoughtfulness, affection, and gentle wisdom!

It's been a useful experience, as much as I dislike being in the spotlight! We are always being offered tests, to see how we react, and although I was moved to speak rather forcefully in order to discriminate between two distinct paradigms for non-local communities, I certainly hold no grudges against anyone. I also want to clarify that I never intended to paint all the Pub participants with the same brush, and I have been in touch with several privately to clarify my views and intent.

Mazie gave me a haircut today, and I gave Amos a bath. We did some shopping, later took some garden photos, re-filled the hummingbird feeders, and thoroughly enjoyed another day in Paradise. May all beings be happy!

[another bob]

In case anyone one wants to send me some energy...I'm happy to receive it.
Something inter-dimensional happened today, and I haven't figured out yet what it was all about.
I find it a bit unnerving that none of the Villagers are posting...I must have done something very wrong...

If it helps with some perspective, I have been in private talks with an amazing being who has been around for 430,000,000,000 years, the last 3 million of them in human forms, and he told me he's just getting the hang of it. It's been wonderful talking with him, and we have become fast friends. I am encouraging him to write a book, which I've offered to help edit and proof. He happens to be a member here, though rarely posts, but we got to talking privately, and I must say I've rarely met such a loving and humorous person! My point is, everything changes, and in the scheme of things, it doesn't pay to sweat the small stuff. Even whole lifetimes are like eye-blinks, though every moment counts, paradoxically. Roles are tried on, acted out, and then dropped off. It's all fine, it's all play, and all is most assuredly well!

Hi Bob,

Communicating with souls like you and many others here and in TOT is an essential respite from all the trappings of modern society and all its poisons, it is disheartening to find the poison contaminating a place which serves as a haven and learning centre for all those such as myself who rely on those like you to help my spiritual evolution.

Thank you for defending us and holding the light, I have kept away from this problem but I could see its effects but frankly I am still at a stage where I find it difficult in knowing how to remedy it amd would probably end up doing more harm than good for myself and others.

Thankyou

Blessings

That was nice to listen to Marianne.


'Be kind to everyone. You never know what battles someone is facing.'

That's so true and I always try to live up to that.



Thanks modwiz.... That would be four hundred and thirty Miljard in Europe then :dizzy:



I just realised that just by reading this thread, people get a higher vibration in a way. So many wonderful sharing, observations etc. going on.
That in itself has some healing qualities when someone taps into it.
It does it for me anyway.
I consider myself blessed to be able to take part in this

" i wouldnt kill a mosquito now..."
"I'm not there yet," she shakes her head.
"Work in progress," the mosquito replies.



I had some weird dreams last night too, was chased by a drug dealer who was trying to sell me drugs and ran to my car. He followed me and jumped into the back seat and wouldn't leave. A police officcer showed up reached into the car and took the drugs away from the dealer. The officer got into the car and we drove away.
feeling a bit tired.

Just now found a very large poisonous spider in my house. I put it in a jar and let it go outside; told it it's not welcome in my home.

Vegetarians exercise this right to life. Good for you Nora. : ) That was bliss. But I have one better, i wouldnt kill a mosquito now, since becoming a vegetarian. Now thats some weird shyte ehh.
My friends and family bug out over that. No pun intended.

[write4change]

I read your post twice searching for the reason why you will never teach again..I thought it would have been worthwhile to continue, given the amazing results..
Huh? What did I miss?

Oh, sorry. There are certain practices that would be frowned on, and chances are good that I used every one of them. They work. Things like allowing my students to hug me, ruffling their hair, allowing them to entrust troubling thoughts or situations to me without fear it would get anyone in trouble. Of course I reported actual child abuse, but there were kids who needed to tell their stories and I allowed them a safe outlet.

For example, in my leadership/mentor program, we spoke about what makes a good leader and used many in the gang hierarchy as examples. Their qualities were charisma, honesty, ambition, passion for what they believe in...etc., etc. In the example I gave here, "j" in algebra stood for "joints", marijuana cigarettes which they all, no doubt, had on their person for after school. And trust and respect were all important to these kids. Word got around school - I honestly don't know what the "word" was - but one day a girl came into my classroom and said, "Ms. Jinjer? I know I am not one of your students, but I really need to talk to someone and I cannot talk to my Mom about it because she is always drunk and she would kill me. (and sometimes this was literally the case.) I need some help. I think I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do." In this situation, she needed practical, logical advice. First? Get a pregnancy test. Second? Here are some phone numbers of agencies who can help you. Third? Don't report what she just said...because if I had, many students who truly needed an adult's perspective would never get it. Never.

The way that I would have to refrain from all the unacceptable methods would kill me. I couldn't be in a situation where I know what would work, and not be able to use it. I think I would explode lol...

I have been reading the last ten pages of this thread which I do periodically. So much is going on with me that I do not feel would be appropriate to post here but I read.

I am bringing this back because this is exactly why I do not teach today and more do not volunteer which I have also done. Part of dumbing down education is reducing the sense that human contact is part of the equation of education. While done to prevent pediphelia I do not see where is reduces that only reduces intimacy between teacher and student and them both feeling the exchange of knowledge, experience and positions. The student needs to know that teachers love the aha moment and find it often from their students.

Until we get away from test teaching, we will only have students who can do tests which leaves them incompetent to do life.

You people are up late.

I like to have a fresh thought, at least once a day. Mine tend to go something like this:


It appears that my hypothesis of the moon being a lens/antenna is more and more credible every day. Recent works shows the moon dust is amorphic nanodust, which means it is like glass, in some ways. Highly thermally insulating, and very capable of carrying of charge. Moon dust would fail to settle easily, part of the electrostatic charge the surface has. It would float above the surface in an elevated charge state. Dimensionally speaking, it could cause interference in a combined 3d/4d way. Due to this lensing aspect, the fields affecting and integrating with the earth, could possibly be modulated. The basic science, as possibility, is there, as connective tissue.

Another aspect is that nano sizes have the best integrative aspects, of subtle energies, regarding integration, lensing, and thus amplification. The electrical charge adds a resonant capacity, which is polarization, frequency and directionally sensitive.

The combination of the nano sizes, and amorphic (means irregular and not structured, glass like), and a voltage charge that could be modulated, presents a potential for manipulation that is technically.....present. Which leads into questions. 'Technically present', presents an issue.

Back to old place from new place after a day of gate building.
I forgot how much i love to build things.

Day started out on a rocky note with Ex BF arriving in a foul mood.
When i inquired as to what the issue was, he at first said there was none,
but his tone and whole demeanour was anything but pleasant, so i pressed him.
Turned out to be a gambling issue, the plans that we had made two days before
we suddenly cut short from two days to two hours, all because of a race that was on
and that i had no TV. ( !!!)
So plan A was ditched and i sent him on his way, rather than deal with a minute
of his projecting.

Plan B was already in place, another friend last night had called me and asked if
i had a plan B?? Lol. He obviously had already a nudge that i might need one.
Anyways after a false start, we did well building said gate, and both of us
commented at the end how much fun making things is.

Lesson being it's SOO important who you choose to let in your space, and don't
be afraid to be tough with those boundaries if someone is behaving badly.
In the past i tolerated WAY too much crap.
Not anymore.

I know we don't really have many Vedic Astrology followers here, but i just read this article and i thought it
very fitting to post here and now....

"Mars and Saturn in Virgo in Vedic Astrology
By Madhavi on June 21, 2012

Mars

After spending an unprecedented eight months in the fiery sign of Leo in Vedic astrology, sizzling Mars has moved into earthy Virgo today. Mars joins a retrograde Saturn in this sign. This makes for a potent combination.

Mars and Saturn are the two great “natural malefics” in Vedic astrology, or those planets which deliver experiences which we render as undesirable. When they come together, the astrological pot is stirred. Mars is the celestial warrior, braced for war at any time. It is the planet of action, courage, aggression, and conflict. Saturn is the slowest moving planet, very cautious, responsible, and strategic. It can bring delays, obstacles, and burdens to teach us our greatest life lessons. This pair of opposites create a push-pull dynamic. Mars is hot; Saturn is cold. Mars loves risk; Saturn is risk-averse. It’s like driving with one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake simultaneously.

This combination promotes a dynamic akin to the reluctant warrior. It makes people break out of a slump and choose a new modality. Mars and Saturn promote industriousness and hard work. It can lead to discipline in action by pushing us beyond our limitations and our restricted thinking. Those in a Mars or Saturn planetary cycle (dasha or bhukti) in Vedic astrology will be most impacted by this transit.

In Vedic astrology, the pairing occurs in Virgo, the sixth sign of the natural zodiac. Mars is less comfortable in Virgo, since it is not as friendly with landlord Mercury as is Saturn. Virgo is very diligent, methodical, and plans out activities after analyzing the details and making precise calculations. Virgo also is a house related to health, so this time can be utilized to create health-promoting routines.

Saturn

The sixth house is also connoted with employees or subordinates, so there can be conflict between supervisors and those reporting to them. Also be cautious about getting involved in legal conflicts and double check all angles before entering binding agreements.

Additionally, the nakshatras or constellations in which the Mars and Saturn fall come into play here. Mars has to be careful of getting involved with the wrong person romantically. They can also accumulate more than they need. People may continually seek you out to help them in some way. Saturn will be very serious, requiring order in all situations. It will be very concerned with proper administration of matters. Even if it gets involved with artistic endeavors, Saturn will not be engaging in these activities for fun, but for precision.

The great benefic planet, Jupiter, is also aspecting (influencing) Virgo at this time, so this friction is somewhat softened. The potential for good wisdom to come on board exists. Fortunately, Saturn and Mars don’t intersect this time in Virgo, as Saturn is returning to Libra on August 2. "

[Samsara]

Today is my daughter's family big move. All of the "familia" will be there to help. Yesterday, I spent time with my Little Prince and I made him express his emotions about this move. It is his the first move in this life and I sensed that he was a bit disturbed about it. First move and most of his stuff is going in storage. He will be fine but I could see that it was disturbing him a bit. When I took him home around 18:00 he fell asleep in the car. Dad was surprised of how tired he was, my daughter understood. Strong emotions can be draining. He is a strong little man but also very sensitive (Aries ascending Cancer). I reminded him that the most important thing in life is to be with the ones you love and he agreed.

Parents are busy doing what they have to do. Grandparents can take more time. I love this role.

Ping, Pong, here's recent pictures I took of my Catmily

Wow, Good Morning. Every day I feel my connection to this Village grow. What is this village, but each of you? Then every day I feel my connection with each of you grow. Those who post, those who don't.

I want to say thank you, but more. What is the word or the expression beyond thank you? I would like to choose that this morning. To you all for accepting me, in this place of development, right this moment. For listening. For allowing. For giving me a big cushion when I stumble...catching me when i fall. Allowing me to weep, and offering comfort. Allowing me to be one big blonde moment, and laughing with me about it. Never kicking anyone when they are down, but encouraging them. Not having to agree with everyone's perspective, while knowing it is exactly and 100% right for them. Respect. Gratitude. Love. Joy. Despair. Confusion. Frustration. Acceptance. Wow.

I am overwhelmed by all of your responses to my ramblings. Never, not for a fraction of a second, did I expect this...didn't share to get it...wasn't even in my thought process. So absent it was, that I was dumbfounded. You sent to me a rush of everything good, and thank you is inadequate.

You see, while rambling on and on..and on (lol), writing of M's moment and writing of my kiddos, I was sincerely sharing their moments, not mine...and I did not realize the significance of these sharings as my story until the outpour engulfed me.

I truly feel I was just being me, and that is nothing special. So all this is a tad awkard....but uncomfortable, as I have learned, is not at all a bad thing. Uncomfortable simply tells us this is something we have not experienced before, right? Uncomfortable is very tangible sign we are leaving our comfort zone...literally. So, thank you for that as well.

Okay, peeps, this IS rambling.

I don't feel like I did enough while I was at that school. That big, fat rat that ran the district then, runs the district now, his contract is still intact, including the clause that if he ever goes to prison for wrongdoing he will still receive his monthly inflated salary. The pedophile superintendent then is still the pedophile superintendent now...though he now has a permanent sanction on his teaching/administrative certification online. And every child I touched, directly or indirectly, suffered a loss when I was ripped from their lives...shoot, I mean, not that I was "all that and a bag of chips"...but that they had each found someone who believed in them. Their trauma haunts me. The fact that I was unable to put them all where they belong...haunts me. I don't live in regrets, shoulda- woulda- coulda...I rarely look back on events in my life through that lens. That's, um, a waste of time and energy imo. But I feel like I failed them at times. I fought spiritually when I had no IDEA that was going on. And I fought with every ounce of my being...I was not on the verge of spirituality then as I am now...but it was, indeed, as spiritual as it was physical and emotional. Truly, I was nearing death. My skin was greenish gray, I stepped out of the shower one morning and realized I could see my ribs in the mirror...and all for what?

I am here for Spirit. I hope I recognize the next call to duty lmao, I would never walk away from one...at least I like to think so. I avail myself. Humbly. And, yes, there have been calls since teaching, and I have heeded the call...stepped out of my own life and helped when I was able...financially or otherwise. I'm not dead yet, lol, not that I will ever die, I know that much, but as long as there is breath in my lungs, Spirit knows how to reach me apparently. I must have left my phone number on a post-it note before I came here...lmao

I'm really sorry, I don't know where this mishmash came from at all. Let's try this:

Good Morning,
The sun is out, and the breeze it blowing. Beautiful prisms grace the landscape as if Gaia has sprinkled herself with shimmer powder. Crepe myrtles are vivid, baby frogs have found their croakers, and I am enjoying the way the grass sways...because it still needs to be mowed...hahaha
Hope you all find what you are looking for today, whatever is right for you, Here and Now.
Much Love,

[WHOMADEGOD]

Big up to 777!

I pulled my Angel Cards this morning, and this came up. I share because it feels like someone else needs to hear this today. Whoever you are, here and now...


The River
Even though you have come to a place of rest a certain amount of patience is required. The river is flowing and you are flowing with it. Although it may not seem like much of anything is happening, it is. Try not to get frustrated and just enjoy being where you are. New experiences are on the way. Money may be forthcoming, possibly from an unexpected source. This is a place of receiving rewards for past work. It is time to reap what you have sown. Feel abundance flowing freely to you by means of the river.

“And so you see you need to just go gently with the flow; let the river guide you tenderly to the places you will know.”


And for everyone...

Greetings, Villagers!

Thanks to all for your kindness, both publicly and privately! I certainly did not expect all this hubbub when I opened the page this morning, and sincerely appreciate all who have been reaching out with thoughtfulness, affection, and gentle wisdom!

It's been a useful experience, as much as I dislike being in the spotlight! We are always being offered tests, to see how we react, and although I was moved to speak rather forcefully in order to discriminate between two distinct paradigms for non-local communities, I certainly hold no grudges against anyone. I also want to clarify that I never intended to paint all the Pub participants with the same brush, and I have been in touch with several privately to clarify my views and intent.

Mazie gave me a haircut today, and I gave Amos a bath. We did some shopping, later took some garden photos, re-filled the hummingbird feeders, and thoroughly enjoyed another day in Paradise. May all beings be happy!

Hi Bob,

Communicating with souls like you and many others here and in TOT is an essential respite from all the trappings of modern society and all its poisons, it is disheartening to find the poison contaminating a place which serves as a haven and learning centre for all those such as myself who rely on those like you to help my spiritual evolution.

Time is the greatest healer of all. That's if you don't know how to speed it up.
Once you know, you can use all kinds of injections, thats what doctors do,
to speed up the healing process.

Music injections (right kind of music, vibrationally speaking)
Thought injections (right kind of thoughts)
Love injections (right kind of love)
Food injections (no junk)
Artistic appreciation/creativity injections (art that takes you to higher levels, not downwards)
list could go on but I've got more pages to plow through. This Village is adding new roads all the time;
can't keep up, as Dennis would say.

Yep, thank you!
Completed it this morning.
Ever since I posted the pic of that child looking at the whale's eye, the whale has been with me, so I decided that was the theme for my next doodle.

My new one, just starting, will have a mountain theme.
I think of all the ones we climb, and then roll down......

Did you have a good nights rest?

[modwiz]

Beautiful morning at the edge of the forest. Drinking coffee as I get ready to go to the dining hall. Hoping for a busy day of interesting people.
A wonderful day to all.

Okay, peeps, this IS rambling.

I don't feel like I did enough while I was at that school. That big, fat rat that ran the district then, runs the district now, his contract is still intact, including the clause that if he ever goes to prison for wrongdoing he will still receive his monthly inflated salary. The pedophile superintendent then is still the pedophile superintendent now...though he now has a permanent sanction on his teaching/administrative certification online. And every child I touched, directly or indirectly, suffered a loss when I was ripped from their lives...shoot, I mean, not that I was "all that and a bag of chips"...but that they had each found someone who believed in them. Their trauma haunts me. The fact that I was unable to put them all where they belong...haunts me. I don't live in regrets, shoulda- woulda- coulda...I rarely look back on events in my life through that lens. That's, um, a waste of time and energy imo. But I feel like I failed them at times. I fought spiritually when I had no IDEA that was going on. And I fought with every ounce of my being...I was not on the verge of spirituality then as I am now...but it was, indeed, as spiritual as it was physical and emotional. Truly, I was nearing death. My skin was greenish gray, I stepped out of the shower one morning and realized I could see my ribs in the mirror...and all for what?

I am here for Spirit. I hope I recognize the next call to duty lmao, I would never walk away from one...at least I like to think so. I avail myself. Humbly. And, yes, there have been calls since teaching, and I have heeded the call...stepped out of my own life and helped when I was able...financially or otherwise. I'm not dead yet, lol, not that I will ever die, I know that much, but as long as there is breath in my lungs, Spirit knows how to reach me apparently. I must have left my phone number on a post-it note before I came here...lmao

OK, a bit of astrology. The simple kind. Cancerians are crabs, and they have protective shells.
Inside they feel like peeled grapes...jello.
They are shy, and they live in protective holes.
They become uncomfortable when their sense of security is threatened.
But their sensitivity also makes them protective of their brood, their children, their pupils.
Until things become too rough and they go deeper into their cave.

Using astrology as a means of empowerment...this will take a client _beyond_ their astrological personality traits,
to wake up the inner spirit, which is immense...far larger in scope than the astro personality.
Many astrologers stay stuck, using the knowledge to provide an excuse..hence the term sooth sayers...
which is ok, too...up to a point...it helps people to accept themselves as they are, and forgive themselves...
but then there are more steps...

You are here on Avalon, maybe, for that reason...to reshuffle your pack. Because there is more for you to do...
when your children are grown up you will have incredible helpers....seems like thats happening already now.
The best thing that can happen to a Cancer is to drop that shyness,
to accept being "uncomfortable" and become fiercely courageous.

Looks to me like you're on your way.

It appears that my hypothesis of the moon being a lens/antenna is more and more credible every day. Recent works shows the moon dust is amorphic nanodust, which means it is like glass, in some ways. Highly thermally insulating, and very capable of carrying of charge. Moon dust would fail to settle easily, part of the electrostatic charge the surface has. It would float above the surface in an elevated charge state. Dimensionally speaking, it could cause interference in a combined 3d/4d way. Due to this lensing aspect, the fields affecting and integrating with the earth, could possibly be modulated. The basic science, as possibility, is there, as connective tissue.

Another aspect is that nano sizes have the best integrative aspects, of subtle energies, regarding integration, lensing, and thus amplification. The electrical charge adds a resonant capacity, which is polarization, frequency and directionally sensitive.

The combination of the nano sizes, and amorphic (means irregular and not structured, glass like), and a voltage charge that could be modulated, presents a potential for manipulation that is technically.....present. Which leads into questions. 'Technically present', presents an issue.

Wow! Now you know you have had me searching amorphic nanodust and moon for the past half hour. Where do you find this info??

If it is technically present, it is actionable. The question then becomes, has that action been taken? And by whom? Icke's recent work is only a continuation of the Russians (http://hellenandchaos.blogspot.ca/2010/04/russian-academics-vasin-and-shcherbakov.html) and thiers, of Velikovsky's (http://lewrockwell.com/orig12/velikovsky2.1.1.html). Even Credo Mutwah speaks of Zulu legends that speak of a time when there was no moon as well. He says it was hollowed out and moved into position.

Every moment counts. Every look, every hug, every word. Far from failing them, you were a bright, shining light in their lives. You helped them make choices to create new ways of thinking, new synapses connecting different areas of information they might not have been able to do without your presence. The focusing of your attention, the melding of your auras with theirs created a permanent impression upon their fields, your potential pre-life agreements with each soul you had contact with - even the negative ones - was fulfilled, beyond ego your souls are bounding and leaping with joy, laughing and running through fields of brilliant stargrass and nebula-flowers, playing and diving, jumping and flying through infinite skies of purple and cerulean.

Sorry for waxing poetic, but life is a poem, the beauty of eternity can only be expressed thusly. Rejoice! Your pact was completed.

Viral Spiral's whale is circling the Village bay decreeing.

Heads lift hearing the song, walking, trotting, running, galloping and whuffling, barking and wagging, chirping and swooping down to the quay and humans with instruments to join the intention ... LotusBlossom's cats have been perching in trees along the quay for hours (they knew of course) (and those who pay attention to cats have already filled the tables at the Cafe on the Quay and have their lattes in hand, along with their Markoid/Brad/Ernie wands), the wizards PL, MW and C are on the Three Hills of the Village forming the vortex to bring the decree to fruition EagleSpirit is calling the beat within while circling the whale, the drums are unwrapped, the guitars are tuned, the cats close their eyes in pleasure perfect pitch is such a treasure.

EagleSpirit asks the whale, "Now?" and they whale smiles Now is good, and with a ki ki ki cry of the heart the song begins, Eagle landing by MW to morph to Self grabbing his instrument the waves slap the quay one two three while Dan climbs PL's hill to video, Another Bob leaps up to ask Ulli to dance, Ernie grabs BC's hand, triggering a thundering herd of humans and dogs to follow them, Sierra laughing falls over the quay into the water, BCWD circling the dance floor forming yin and yang energy patterns to gather and hold 1inMany gathers the spirits of little ones to join in the choir, most of the village is here now, Nora under her tree by the quay and Samsara, Wakytweaky, and whomadegod are beside her weaving the light rope tossed to Astrid, Rakhyt and Belle to split and carry to the dragon wizards who seize and feed to the vortex, spiraling purple light forming and igniting in the votex of air and fire dancing in delight in the song of the whale decreeing.

Fred and Calz come running down the road kicking the soccer ball to the dance floor where joy holds it in the air suspended over the words of the song written in fire fed by the wizards bouncing each syllable in the rhythm as the floor shakes with earth power rising.

Playdo (he of the Spockian ears), Whitefeather and Dennis slowly turn in perfect unison as the whale (Viral Spiral climbing up on his back) sidles up to the quay receiving and distributing the whale's intent.

ViralSpiral smiles happily from her whale perch and bellyflops into the water engulfing Sierra and the dogs, the horses snickering and wickering in amusement.

Wot it is, it's all good. :)

Well, come on over if your power goes out! Back about 4 years ago, we had a terrifc storm here that knocked out the power for 5 days, right in the middle of February, and the temps dropped down into the 20's. We decided then and there to get a wood stove, and have never regretted it. Mazie is also contemplating writing a cookbook for preppers, with recipes for solar ovens, custom hibachis, and woodstoves. I get to be the test subject, which is a good thing!

search for moon dust. it has been found to be nano in sizing. The surface is compacted nanodust, not really rock or soil.

Due to the lack of erosion, this material on the surface of the moon... has remained in it's nanodust interstellar form.

Which leads right into alchemy....and all it implies.

http://news.yahoo.com/moons-peculiar-dust-gets-more-peculiar-still-101210873.html


For 40 years, geologists struggled to understand just what gave lunar soil these pixie dust properties, but geologist Marek Zbik of Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia may finally have cracked it. The answer: nanoparticles -- vanishingly tiny flecks of mass, some no bigger than molecules, that have all the odd qualities of moon dust, and more.

Zbik made his discovery thanks to an instrument known as a synchrotron-based nano tomograph -- a hunk of hardware that didn't remotely exist when the Apollo crews splashed down. Nano tomographs work by bombarding nano particles with x-rays to produce 3-D images of structures that otherwise would be far too tiny to see -- or at least to see well. When Zbik got some lunar soil and a nano tomograph in the same room together, he knew that the first thing he wanted to look at were the infinitesimal glass bubbles scattered through the lunar material.

(SPECIAL: The 40th Anniversary of the Moon Landing)

The bubbles are formed the same way the larger glass beads are formed -- in the fiery heat of meteorite collisions -- but their exotic origins notwithstanding, they still ought to be built like any other bubble. That means they ought to be filled with some kind of gas. That, however, wasn't the case. "Instead of gas or vapor," says Zbik, "the lunar bubbles were filled with a highly porous network of alien-looking glassy particles that span the bubbles' interior."

Alien-looking maybe, but Zbik quickly recognized them as nano particles -- and that would explain a lot. Nano particles can become electro-statically charged, which would impart the same property to the soil, perfectly accounting for its tendency to float. They have low thermal conductivity, explaining why the lunar subsoil can get so cold so close to the surface. They are chemically active, and they are also electrically sticky, meaning that when the soil got on an astronaut's pressure suit or into the joints of his lunar tools it would be all but impossible to brush away.

Point is, that this cannot happen on the surface of the earth, due to erosion, atmosphere, and connected phenomena.

Dear ulli,

It was no coincidence that my cat on the magic carpet, yesterday, reminded you of who it did. With a lump in my throat, I am recognizing the synchronicity as just this morning I have laid my beloved Calliope to rest. With a tear and a bead of sweat, it is, as indeed, it always is. It's a shame most don't understand well enough to see, that death is the ultimate in evolution. It the heart in the right place that gives us eyes to see. As her breathing stopped, she rose up to greet me, with her curly cue tail.

[PurpleLama]

There is a balance of joy, in grief. They get the joy, we get the grief. More than a small comfort.

Thank you, my friends, for making and keeping this safe space for expression.

As someone who can see both worlds the shock and suffering won't knock you over like it does to many others.
Yet, no matter how advanced we may be, we all have an inner child that can't stand loss.

So as a cat lover who understands:
here is another tear for you and your loved ones.
I am so sorry.

There is a balance of joy, in grief. They get the joy, we get the grief.



A famous monk, who was a great teacher, died. He was best known, however, because of his chief disciple. Thousands of people came to pay homage to the monk when he died and to their amazement they found the chief disciple weeping. They were at a loss to understand him -- an unattached person should not weep, especially one who has always said that the spirit never dies! Someone came and asked,

"Why do you weep?"

The monk replied, "I cannot always live with ’whys.’ There are moments when there is no why. I am weeping, that’s all."

Still they insisted, "You have always said that the soul is immortal. Why do you weep then?"

He replied, "I still maintain that the soul is immortal. But that does not stop me from weeping."

The people asked, "Do you weep for the body?"

The monk said, "Yes, it must be for the body that I am weeping. The body, too, was beautiful and it will never be seen again. I weep for the body."

"But you are a spiritual man," they said. And the argument went on. They accused him of confusing them.

"I myself am confused," he said. "Life is such! The soul is important, but so are my tears. Such is life -- so contradictory. It exists in contradictions. I myself am confused; but I am at ease with my confusions, I am at ease with my contradictions, so I am not tense. You see my tears, you see me weeping, but I am at ease. I am relaxed. I am blissful."

:yo:

[PurpleLama]

I am blissful, indeed, my friend.

It's been communicated, however far back, in this thread, or some other, I forget, that when I came into this incarnation, I "cheated", that is, I put myself ahead of the game, somehow. I still don't fully understand, and I'm not supposed to (i cheated, see?), but I appreciate it more and more every day, almost every hour or moment, even.

[Mark]

Hey Jenci!. I've been doing some reading. That Enlightenment thread is indeed on that next level. You, Bob, Jorr, it's full of folks whose wisdom and experience I appreciate. I remember reading a few pages of it back in the day before I left, but I guess I didn't feel moved to participate. Since I left, some things have shifted. I look forward to contributing to the conversation.

At the risk of this becoming unrecognizably convoluted, and if I am understanding things correctly, there's no way for you to have cheated because what happened was the way it was supposed to happen, right? So if you cheated, you didn't cheat because you are carrying out what you needed to carry out in order to get back to the beginning.

I don't know what is happening right now. Mike just texted that he is having a dizzy spell, hasn't had one in ages and we know it is not health related. Dizzy, dry heaves, sweats, heart pounding. About 3 minutes after I read the text and responded to him that everything is okay, just let it pass, same thing is happening to me.

What is this?!

update: okay, no more dry heaves, now he just feels drained... I am still lightheaded, but have the beginnings of a headache...what in the world?!

I look forward to contributing to the conversation.

Yikes, just guessing here, if it transferred, it is probably not physical, but energetic. Did you inside actually say, "Everything is okay, just let it pass [to me] ..."?

Sometimes the silent part is the most powerful.

We are all riding with Gaia and her uprising sometimes sends frissons of awareness of change through us.

Mike (from what you've told us) has a LOT riding on his shoulders. And the Village has been focusing on the company, the sale, the future ...

Omigosh, it never was conscious enough to say something like that, it was too...direct...too quick. I feel nuts again, I guess I must have tapped into it somehow. Dang, this is a lot of work, huh?

Thx Sierra....{hugs}

this will pass, it is okay, this will pass, it is okay....

Oneinmany, grab up some black tourmaline, or obsidian, and make sure mike holds some, too.

I will explain what I mean by "cheated" through PM.

Oh, wow, 1inMany, I see your picture and have a sense/know we are family.

I'm pecking away on a little iPad, so limited space/time. Which is a good thing for I see a virtual addiction has wrapped its' thorney web around my feet.

Note to self: purchase epsom salts

[Mark]

Keeping secrets Oh Purple One? LOL Share with the Village!

Thanks Bob, I've been rambling on in that Blog since 2008, I think. Glad you find some value in it. Great advice for 1inMany ... energy transference is no joke.

[1inMany]

This is not cool. Not okay. I get the sense his energy is pouring into me like a pitcher into a glass. No idea why I think that. I have obsidian in one hand, tourmaline in the other. I cannot reach him. He may have fallen asleep. What the heck?

and it's not passing....

it's just passing thru, it's just passing thru, breathe and allow...

feels like I need to replace the batteries in my bubble.

[ViralSpiral]

There is a balance of joy, in grief. They get the joy, we get the grief. More than a small comfort.

Thank you, my friends, for making and keeping this safe space for expression.

Hi PurpleLama,

Does this work in general? obsidian or black tourmalin... because for the last 8 months or so,my girlfriend and me had regular episodes of dizziness.
Almost never at the same time though. Not health related either if our intuitions work correctly.


Shame you can't tell about that cheating in public... you got me curious about it as well ;)

ps: Was that photo of that cat in your vegetable garden the cat that passed away?
I loved that picture.

[RunningDeer]

You are here on Avalon, maybe, for that reason...to reshuffle your pack. Because there is more for you to do...
when your children are grown up you will have incredible helpers....seems like thats happening already now.
The best thing that can happen to a Cancer is to drop that shyness,
to accept being "uncomfortable" and become fiercely courageous.

Looks to me like you're on your way.

Weeping. Now. On a porch swing.

[another bob]

These bodies are not ours. They are the result of causes and conditions beyonds our current comprehension, and although we'd like to think we are in the driver's seat, just consider this: we do not beat our hearts, respirate our lungs, grow our skin and nails and hair, or even think our thoughts. It is all happening spontaneously, and though we can have some influence on the process, life is what's really in charge, regardless of our own particular desires or intent. Realizing this, we can get a little detachment from our sense of being the body. When we recognize that the body is not who or what we are, we are led to the inquiry, "Well then, what am I?" This inquiry can be very transformative, if followed through with sincerity and perseverance.

In the meantime, I send to you and Mike the intent that whatever is happening, you be at peace in the midst, and that any pain and anxiety be minimized.

Blessings!

Viral Spiral's whale is circling the Village bay decreeing.

Heads lift hearing the song, walking, trotting, running, galloping and whuffling, barking and wagging, chirping and swooping down to the quay and humans with instruments to join the intention ... LotusBlossom's cats have been perching in trees along the quay for hours (they knew of course) (and those who pay attention to cats have already filled the tables at the Cafe on the Quay and have their lattes in hand, along with their Markoid/Brad/Ernie wands), the wizards PL, MW and C are on the Three Hills of the Village forming the vortex to bring the decree to fruition EagleSpirit is calling the beat within while circling the whale, the drums are unwrapped, the guitars are tuned, the cats close their eyes in pleasure perfect pitch is such a treasure.

EagleSpirit asks the whale, "Now?" and they whale smiles Now is good, and with a ki ki ki cry of the heart the song begins, Eagle landing by MW to morph to Self grabbing his instrument the waves slap the quay one two three while Dan climbs PL's hill to video, Another Bob leaps up to ask Ulli to dance, Ernie grabs BC's hand, triggering a thundering herd of humans and dogs to follow them, Sierra laughing falls over the quay into the water, BCWD circling the dance floor forming yin and yang energy patterns to gather and hold 1inMany gathers the spirits of little ones to join in the choir, most of the village is here now, Nora under her tree by the quay and Samsara, Wakytweaky, and whomadegod are beside her weaving the light rope tossed to Astrid, Rakhyt and Belle to split and carry to the dragon wizards who seize and feed to the vortex, spiraling purple light forming and igniting in the votex of air and fire dancing in delight in the song of the whale decreeing.

Fred and Calz come running down the road kicking the soccer ball to the dance floor where joy holds it in the air suspended over the words of the song written in fire fed by the wizards bouncing each syllable in the rhythm as the floor shakes with earth power rising.

Playdo (he of the Spockian ears), Whitefeather and Dennis slowly turn in perfect unison as the whale (Viral Spiral climbing up on his back) sidles up to the quay receiving and distributing the whale's intent.

ViralSpiral smiles happily from her whale perch and bellyflops into the water engulfing Sierra and the dogs, the horses snickering and wickering in amusement.

Wot it is, it's all good. :)


WCBD circling the dance floor forming yin and yang energy patterns to gather

Sierra, this is almost spot on. I'm thinking of doing a demonstration of a yin/yang symbol form. It's simple. It's used to enhance/run energy through the body. I'm just getting up the courage to speak on a vid.

[Jenci]

Hey Jenci!. I've been doing some reading. That Enlightenment thread is indeed on that next level. You, Bob, Jorr, it's full of folks whose wisdom and experience I appreciate. I remember reading a few pages of it back in the day before I left, but I guess I didn't feel moved to participate. Since I left, some things have shifted. I look forward to contributing to the conversation.



That's Rahkyt,

It will be good to see you there. Sometimes we have a burst of activity and sometimes we are quiet. Very often we spark off each other and discover something new. I miss Jorr there too.

[PurpleLama]

Ok, ok, what I'm talking about by cheated, might be the bodhisattvas way, when "time" is low, and fast, maybe it could be that some would come, who are a little too psychic, for their own good, but for the good of humanity. It's a day of "dreadful" lessons, to be sure, but it's just a "day".

Mike just texted that he is having a dizzy spell, hasn't had one in ages and we know it is not health related. Dizzy, dry heaves, sweats, heart pounding.
Here's a drive by diagnosis for ya', from an unlicensed, unqualified computer nerd with no prior medical training and little or no healing talents or psychic awareness:



Sounds like a combination of gut leakage and liver weakness, letting too many toxins into the blood.

(The above is my self-diagnosis of similar symptoms ... odd's of it applying to Mike are very low, especially if you're right that his symptoms are not health related.)

[PurpleLama]

you are correct, it's not really cheating. It depends on how you look at it.

I wrote this to my sister who was just diagnosed with breast cancer:


I wrote this just now and want to share it with you. Much love.


Toxicity, the inability for the body to remove on its own, things which are foreign to it and not needed for its survival, is now a part of our lives. Nowadays, we are exposed to excessive amounts of toxic chemicals, and monitoring our PH and keeping it above neutral to slightly alkaline will assure that toxicity cannot take over and cause catastrophic failure. Pathogens and toxicity cannot survive in a body which has a balanced PH, is fed nutrients without toxic chemicals in them, and water designed to carry toxins away.

The main culprits are the heavy metals, which enter our systems through the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water we drink. Toxins also enter the body through the skin. There is also new, very corroborative evidence that the exposure to microwave frequency is also harmful.

The toxicity takes years to manifest, but it begins in the intestines. It’s very subtle at first, where the intestinal walls are impacted and hardened, through refined sugars such as high fructose GMO corn syrup, gluten in breads, growth hormones in our meat and dairy, processed hydrogenated oils and Monsanto’s roundup, etc. As a result of impacting and hardening the intestinal wall, less nutrition can make it through, while the smaller toxins can make it through. This alone sets in motion the need for the body to fight extra hard to take on the onslaught of toxicity without the help of vital nutrients. Now, add nutrient deficient foods, and increased metals, and you have a situation which all of us need to keep an eye on and address on a regular basis.

The kidneys and the liver, which is their job to filter and remove toxins, are the first line of defense. When they are overwhelmed with this job and can no longer keep up with the onslaught, they bring in recruits. These recruits are the cells. In a body where toxicity is closely monitored, and the liver and kidneys are able to do their jobs properly, the cells do not absorb toxicity. Cells are not designed for either of the functions for which the kidneys and liver are. When the cells are asked to join in the fight and help absorb toxicity, they essentially go crazy.

So, if toxicity has reached a level where the cells are involved, it’s time to get really aggressive and do the full on detox, and get rid of the toxicity in the cells, as well as the liver and kidneys. The first thing that needs to be done is the intestines need to be leaned out so that the nutrients can make it to where they are needed. The enema’s which Gerson recommends are the best for an accelerated cleanse.

Next, once nutrients are able to pass freely through the intestinal wall, it’s time to pound the body full of nutrients. Were talking exclusively juiced raw fruits and vegetables about ten times a day, totally eliminating the major culprits of processed food. Once the body’s immune system is once again in the fight full on, then supporting the removal of these toxins with the Kangen water is essential. This water is charged electromagnetically opposite the toxins, so it attracts them and carries them away. If Kangen water is not available, at least use distilled water.

I also recommend the chlorine dioxide and the antineoplastin, to kill the toxicity in the cells and accelerate the process. These are both found in nature, the distillation process of antineoplastin, and the cleansing of cells by the body through the chlorination process.

The bottom line is, toxicity is not fatal and irreversible, and once toxicity is removed and the body is returned to the normal balanced PH, cancer cannot survive and pathogen’s can’t either.

[ulli]

What PurpleLama called cheating is just what it is, not cheating at all.
One can use this gift to bypass other areas, like reason and logic,
which are equally necessary, for there are times when different gifts come into play.

All those who are born with psychic abilities will be tested too, at certain times,
in such a way that they have to still develop those upper chakras related to mind, or emotion.

Psychic knowledge is in my view connected to the chakras that match the instinctive body,
what also can be termed "my gut told me".
Hence you may have an analphabet become a millionaire.
I came in with lower and upper chakras well formed and functioning,
yet my middle ones the heart region, are atrophied.
Working on it. The Village is helping a lot.
Still feeling rotten for making WCBD cry,
because I was insensitive and didn't think of her when I wrote that post to 1inMany.
Typical example of a missing or underdeveloped chakra.

I can hear the hum of the crystals, the music of the spheres, feel the warmth of the air, the cool breeze amidst the high humidity, water vapor like sprinkled kisses all over your face. The call is coming from the Temple of Life there, to the North. We have to leave the falls just for a bit, the joy of the celebration is filling the Valley with the intent of the Blessed!

The enema’s which Gerson recommends are the best for an accelerated cleanse.
I've had my best month in years this last month, after trying some coffee enemas a month ago. About three enemas in a week, my first enemas ever.

Very dense nutrition - check.
Get rid of the crap in most "foods" - check.
Good water - check.

I have been fortunate in that the "canary in my mine shaft" has been the hearing in my only working ear, not something serious like cancer or heart disease.

The downside - I just realized my old car has an annoying rattle - that I had not heard before :).

The enema’s which Gerson recommends are the best for an accelerated cleanse.
I've had my best month in years this last month, after trying some coffee enemas a month ago. About three enemas in a week, my first enemas ever.

Very dense nutrition - check.
Get rid of the crap in most "foods" - check.
Good water - check.

I have been fortunate in that the "canary in my mine shaft" has been the hearing in my only working ear, not something serious like cancer or heart disease.

The downside - I just realized my old car has an annoying rattle - that I had not heard before :).

Awesome! Yay!

Catsitting this little beauty, Lily-Blanche, alias Lily-Blue. Because she stays mostly inside, with the odd little exploration outside, she cannot live in the camper. So she will be staying with her grandma for the next two months, going home in the weekends. She is completely deaf, so communication with her is with signs, heart and telepathy.

She has stayed with grandma a couple of times over the years, but she is still very nervous now. I guess she remembers the boss...

Hoping that the sight of her will bring a bit of comfort to your heart PL.

Yes, tourmaline especially can be helpful with balancing energetic symptoms such as dizzyness, headache, etc.

The cat in the garden was Ishtar. I will be uploading a pic of Calliope in the garden in a few days.



Oneinmany, grab up some black tourmaline, or obsidian, and make sure mike holds some, too.

I will explain what I mean by "cheated" through PM.

Hi PurpleLama,

Does this work in general? obsidian or black tourmalin... because for the last 8 months or so,my girlfriend and me had regular episodes of dizziness.
Almost never at the same time though. Not health related either if our intuitions work correctly.


Shame you can't tell about that cheating in public... you got me curious about it as well ;)

ps: Was that photo of that cat in your vegetable garden the cat that passed away?
I loved that picture.

[1inMany]

I just want to know this right now. What rule is it that says I cannot be Spiderman? Spidergirl? Oh, puullllleeeeeeease. That's so lame.

I have a date! Going for a beer, I think. Note to self: if I could only handle one a couple of years ago, I can probably handle less than one now. Stop there.

;)

Have a good evening, all....Much Love,

[another bob]

Ok, ok, what I'm talking about by cheated, might be the bodhisattvas way, when "time" is low, and fast, maybe it could be that some would come, who are a little too psychic, for their own good, but for the good of humanity. It's a day of "dreadful" lessons, to be sure, but it's just a "day".

Dear ulli,

It was no coincidence that my cat on the magic carpet, yesterday, reminded you of who it did. With a lump in my throat, I am recognizing the synchronicity as just this morning I have laid my beloved Calliope to rest. With a tear and a bead of sweat, it is, as indeed, it always is. It's a shame most don't understand well enough to see, that death is the ultimate in evolution. It the heart in the right place that gives us eyes to see. As her breathing stopped, she rose up to greet me, with her curly cue tail.

My heart is with you, brother. Much love to you and Calliope. She was most special. All is well, Brother Bodhisattva. Peace be with you.

I've decided to join this thread community! I've been a loner my whole life, my choice though - I just find very few people I have anything in common with. Time to start being a little more of the "real" me and less of the "work" me. Too much work ... not enough communion and play ;)

This makes me happy. Hail wanderer! Well met.

Cats, more than humans, know when to eat and when not to eat.

I'm visiting with my Auntie Eileen who is 93. Her daughter and hubby are away for a long weekend with a sign hung: "Go away. Leave extra towels outside the door. The only request for each other: no technology, and no clocks.

I'm here to take care of Auntie Eileen, but it feels like it's the other way around. A couple of things on the agenda: ironing, and crossword puzzles. Did I mention, Auntie is blind?

Auntie Eileen raised ten children, and changed many other children's lives. She is a retired teacher now.

While, she showers, I sit on a porch swing listening to birds close and far. Coo-coos from from a morning dove. The gentle breezes blow my hair across my neck and cheeks. Sensual is the word in the Now moment.

Wolfie, who is older than Auntie, at least in dog years. He's busy with his homemade the hooded sweatshirt bed. He's put in a request for a porch swing at home.

I marvel at how Auntie just finished up the last chapter of her book on tape, while preparing for her morning routines. It makes me see that I compromised my days with inconsequential busyness. How did I not see it until now?

Almost crossword time. Auntie Eileen remembers the words across and down. She needs another's sight to record. She's assured me not to worry that I don't do crossword puzzles.

I looked up the grace in the dictionary, Auntie Eileen's name is there.

PS Ulli, Auntie Eileen is an Aquarius.

UPDATE: RIP Auntie Eileen. 10/12/12

I'm heading off to the nude beach on the other side of the island.
I wonder, does the nude beach wear mittens and a scarf in the winter? Or does the island?



Oh, I wholeheartedly agree, WF. This is a great place to just...be.

Although, I can say that I have done a lot of hard work here.

Wonderful place.

Still feeling rotten for making WCBD cry,
because I was insensitive and didn't think of her when I wrote that post to 1inMany.
Typical example of a missing or underdeveloped chakra.

I feel empowered because of the opportunity to say how I felt.
I feel it was a moment of clarity and cleared some blocks.
I feel unburdened.
I feel I can say I feel vulnerable and still be empowered.
I feel Love for Ulli.
I feel a hug coming on. Catch it, Ulli. :hug:



What PurpleLama called cheating is just what it is, not cheating at all.
One can use this gift to bypass other areas, like reason and logic,
which are equally necessary, for there are times when different gifts come into play.

All those who are born with psychic abilities will be tested too, at certain times,
in such a way that they have to still develop those upper chakras related to mind, or emotion.

Psychic knowledge is in my view connected to the chakras that match the instinctive body,
what also can be termed "my gut told me".
Hence you may have an analphabet become a millionaire.
I came in with lower and upper chakras well formed and functioning,
yet my middle ones the heart region, are atrophied.
Working on it. The Village is helping a lot.

A street cat names Bob...

17088

"Recovering drug addict James Bowen’s life was at a low ebb in the spring of 2007. On methadone as part of a programme to wean him off heroin, he was barely scraping an existence busking in London’s Covent Garden, when he returned to his sheltered accommodation in Tottenham one evening to find a ginger tom on the doorstep.

The thin mangy moggy seemed as lonely and hopeless as James, who took pity on the animal and began feeding him. After a local search failed to yield an owner, James took the stray in, an arrangement that filled as much a need in him as in the cat, whom he christened Bob.

After a childhood made difficult by his parents’ divorce and much moving around, including emigration from England to Australia, James had come to London where he played in a rock band and then drifted into a life of drug dependency fuelled by petty crime. What Bob offered James was the opportunity to care for another creature, a responsibility he had never known.

With his limited resources, James slowly and lovingly nursed Bob back to health. He dug into his meagre income to feed Bob and they settled into a companionable existence whose only inconvenience was Bob’s refusal to use a litter tray and insistence on being walked down the five flights of stairs from the flat to go out to the loo.

James’s routine was to put Bob out for the day before setting off on the bus into town to sing and play his guitar for tourists in Covent Garden.

But then Bob started following him and it became increasingly difficult to shoo him away, especially as there were dangerous roads to be crossed. One day there was nothing for it but to put Bob on a makeshift lead and take him along. Bob travelled sitting on James’s shoulders.

The trouble was, so many cat-mad passers-by stopped him to stroke the animal that James arrived late at his pitch, secretly cursing Bob for thereby costing him some of his usual £25-a-day takings. He couldn’t have been more wrong.

Within minutes, people who would normally have walked by without giving James a second glance were lingering to make a fuss of the cat sitting sedately in his guitar case, and most made a donation. By the end of the day, he’d racked up more than £60.

It was the beginning of a phenomenon as tourists and commuters befriended Bob and James, many bringing titbits for the cat. People were amazed at how placidly Bob would sit all day, quite happily watching the world go by while James earned a living. Not that it was always without a hitch; on a couple of occasions Bob bolted when startled, leading to a frantic chase through the crowded streets.

Bob’s popularity continued when James switched from busking to selling the Big Issue, the magazine produced and sold by homeless people. This change in direction was part of James’s growing sense of a need to get his life in order, which he puts down to the responsibility of looking after Bob, and the example the cat offered of the possibility of a second chance.

It enabled James to make the final push to end his drug dependency, going through the necessary cold turkey to get off heroin substitutes, and to mend broken contacts with his family. The final result of Bob’s influence came when a literary agent who passed the duo every day and had seen them on YouTube suggested James tell their story in a book. The result is this heart-warming tale with a message of hope that will appeal especially to the many cat obsessives out there."

What a cool story.

Currently we do not have a cat.

That said, during the day a local cat likes to come in and keep Mrs Anchor company. We do not feed him, since if we did he would not go home, since we suspect he gets more attention at our place. What we do do however is put a bowl down of rainwater that we bring back from the farm.

He loves it.

Sometimes he comes in and makes a bee-line for that bowl, drinks about 1/2 cup and then leaves!

[Carmody]

Went to a concert last night, something I've been waiting for over 30 years to see. We were on the floor, in front of the stage.

Before that, outside, in the crowd waiting to go in..I decided to expand my reach, to get out a bit. well, my brother was standing beside me. He was just recovering from a flu. Perhaps the resonance was a bit much for him, as we are family. As I let go my grip on my specific local person, and expanded into the space, he began to pass out. I grabbed him when he started to go down. You can imagine that this caused a distraction.

Thus, we ended up having to wait and I was considering not going at all, so he could be clear of the crowds. (in that condition). He recovered, and after a blood sugar test showed nothing at all being off...we headed in, just before the event began. I had, of course, pulled my awareness back in.

When in there, we had floor seats, about as far back as one can get, and still see the stage. THAT, if only the 1000 people in front of you, remained seated.

After a few go rounds of people standing and sitting, I decided I was tired of that, and my brother was in no shape to stand again or try.

Crowd energy is something different, a lower level (poor choice of terminology) but connected system. More invisible, shall we say, and in the big city, part of the unconscious. In the big city, something like a concert is one of the only places that city folk manage to get their energies synced up.

It would take some time to explain how it was done, but I managed to get the 1000 or so people in front of us, all the way to the stage...to remain seated. Ours was the only section that remained seated. I could not hold it forever, as one person would be all it takes and the cascade to standing would have begun. I managed to get about 30+ minutes out of it, while the other sections where standing.

I wanted to commit to a real 'blow out' and get the whole crowd really fired up and make it a serious 'night to remember'... but I was worried about my brother and had to keep things down, and not really let go. There is also the fact that one can overdo it, and fry people with their own over expended energies. Basically, regarding their own unrealized connections and pathways...they are paper, you (can) set them on fire. People can get injured from that, so it should be no casual game.

(hint: with people, one person can say or do, and it transfers, and spreads. If properly begun, thought out, or projected. With cells in the body, the same, the light of one firing can and does cascade into others and the process accelerates in scope and size. Recall nuclear fission. They use the billiard ball explanation, of compactness and density causing a cascade, once it has started 'breaking apart'--secondary impacts. Now, don't all of those sound like they may have some connection?)

I am a Simpleton

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

I am learning to accept what I am - an honest Simpleton. I'm appreciative when a flash of insight and creativity mix with this simpleton template. I get to share what tickles me in that moment.

It's coming up on five months that I've been a part of the Avalon Family. I don't recall when I ever wasn't. I'm blown away at people's thoughts, experiences, and most importantly, the communication styles. It seems all are becoming more adept with their opinions. Either that I'm a more adept Simpleton.

Being a Simpleton has it's perks. Low expectations, means more room for insight and creativity. And I have more energy because this mind/body template points it's fingers almost never with laughing and guilting at the unused piles of books.

I'm getting better at not convincing myself and others that I know more than I really do. Man, pressures off. Do you know how freeing that is?

I am a Simpleton. The secret's out. There is a nagging feel. But even that doesn't matter. I hope I don't wake up and see it's a dream. There's still residual memory of old patterns, but like a sweaty palm print on a school desk top, that's fading.

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

I love all of this mornings stories too, and Bob the cat is especially cool. All my 22 years I have rescued cats in Costa Rica and then had to find them cozy homes, since I already had three cats and didn't want ten.
In some cases the only reason they survived was because they picked up suffient energy from my hands lying there, barely able to breathe, filthy and diarrhea crusted, with my husband saying "don't touch it, it's dying", as was the case with Kafka.
Well, they all made it, but then their family line ended as all ended up getting neutered.

Simpleton, to me, anyway, is a slightly diminishing term, and is taking away from your dignity.
Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

As a minimalist you are someone who has become what you are due to conscious choice, because you like it better thn your earlier being.
And this term doesn't even send a signal as to what others might see you as, from their own extravagant stance.

Part of self empowerment is to be in your own space, knowing that only you can occupy it, and then go from there.
This is part of the spirit of the Aquarian age. I bet your 93-year-old aunt would know what I'm talking about here.
But maybe even wasting words in the matter would not be in her interest any longer, since she moved past this issue ages ago.

Story brought back some memories of my own.
Sitting outside a huge purple and orange colored building in Toronto dockland at 2 am,
waiting for my son and his college friends to come out after a Primus concert,
with me having offered to chauffeur them back to Oakville where they were living at the time,
And of course they were the last ones to emerge after the other 22,000 kids had filtered out, with me standing at the exit door staring at all of them,
while horizontally driven snow didn't seem to bother the bare-skinned girls running out, I was a block of ice,
doing a time travel to my own youth, concerts on Saturday nights.... much smaller scale event at London's Middle Earth
with the Pink Floyd playing every week, their backs to the audience due to their shyness.
Back then a crowd of 2000 seemed humongous.

Good morning Villagers! Sauteed onions, scrambled egg whites with fresh spinach and marinated mozzarella balls with a bit on chicken sausage on the side. Hearty protein filled breakfast to start the day. Fixed it for my son who has a Wing Chun Kung Fu (Robert Downey Junior style) seminar today. I had to partake in it a little. Overcast and still raining. Maybe we will have a few sun breaks today...

I love all of this mornings stories too, and Bob the cat is especially cool. All my 22 years I have rescued cats in Costa Rica and then had to find them cozy homes, since I already had three cats and didn't want ten.
In some cases the only reason they survived was because they picked up suffient energy from my hands lying there, barely able to breathe, filthy and diarrhea crusted, with my husband saying "don't touch it, it's dying", as was the case with Kafka.
Well, they all made it, but then their family line ended as all ended up getting neutered.

"She turned them into neuts"

They didn't get better.

Take the "e" out of neuts, and you have nuts, which they lost. The price for being found.

I hope those cats never heard the "why do dogs lick their balls?" joke, because, they can't. :twitch:

Flesh in a fishtank?

maybe not so far in the future, you might have growlights, and a fishtank..and be growing.....flesh.

Why? Because...you asked for it.

it might be bizarre, but it is probably the road we are going to be going down. Or something very similar to it. Realistically, something like it is going to have to take place. The coming shape of the world demands it, with intensity and pressure. It will have to 'come to be'.

Fake meat: is science fiction on the verge of becoming fact? (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/jun/22/fake-meat-scientific-breakthroughs-research)

Think of it as an intermediary step to becoming vegan, or non flesh consuming, regarding the killing and eating of others. More of a weaning, than anything. In order to find clarity. Recall that a child's soother is a substitute for a teat.

Once the cycle of flesh consumption is broken (dimensional connections as well), then the realizations can cascade into being.

Not doing the no-nuts thing would have been even more cruel, as few people here even like cats...
(at least in Greece they put the street cats into the Souflakis for their Christmas lunches...)

The foreigners here are known for loving them, and so end up with unwanted litters thrown over the fence into their front gardens
(spell stone walls with broken beer bottles cemented into the top)

so unless another 100,000 Americans come here quickly the neuterers will stay in business a bit longer.

Central America is still in the horses-and-dogs-for-pets stage...
Cats will take another 200 years to find acceptance although the many cat Youtubes might speed up the process.

Then it will be up to the cats to manage their nine lives.

Scientists believe that this is the perfect way to make people happy and feed them with meat. The environment is saved and animals spared. The only downside is the fact that a burger grown in the lab will cost around a third of a million dollars.

Or at least this is what Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands claims. He says that such a method of growing meat would have help us enormously. The vascular biologist states that he will be coming with lab-grown meat next year since he wants to prove that this concept is possible.

The thing with this meat is that even if it sounds like being an imitation of meat, it’s not. The only difference between meat grown in lab and meat coming from an animal is that the first has never been part of a living animal. The in-vitro meat is a real flesh product.

Post says that he uses animal cell stems harvested from animal slaughterhouses which he then feeds with all the nutrients that are needed in order for these to grow properly. The costs of this are so high because the cultured-meat burger is “handmade and it’s time and labour-intensive”.

The meat doesn’t look that appetizing because the in-vitro meat lacks blood and that’s why it a weird color. The meat that you see in the picture above is nothing else but thin strips of 100% lab-grown muscle tissue. These have no fat and no blood. If 3,000 strips of this kind are put together and if some fat is added, then we might get the first lab-grown burger.

This whole concept would help us cut the emissions, save water and energy and feed the growing population as well. The concept deserves to be paid attention but is it worth paying so much for it? Couldn’t money be directed in other ways of saving the environment, the animals and the natural resources?

Wow, what a day it's been.

It's good to see Carmody come out of the closet fully. I did have an inkling about who you are tho', man. You can't hide light of that caliber. It seeps out around the edges.

Nice shots, Fred!

We have a cat that spent the winter indoors, but he was child of a stray and has always been feral, Sirayah says, so he is the kind that stays in the attic all day, only comes out at night, or hides in corners and behind things even though he's 17 years old. He's outside for the summer now. I go out and feed him and it's good to see him actually out. Last fall he would stay under the porch and only come out at night to eat, then go back under the porch. This summer I find him out and about, exploring, in the grass, eating insects, up on the porch, he's acting like a real cat again. I hope he enjoys his summer, we don't think he has many left.

After a morning of sweltering heat. We had some Incredible storms with intense lightning and thunder here in The East. Things have gotten a little cooler since. The scorched greenery here in NY accepted this nourishing nectar from above drinking each raindrop with gratitude. The lightning drained my batteries a bit, but most sensational to watch the fireworks in the sky. God I Love The Delicate Sound Of Thunder. Its Time to sit back with a book and enjoy my blissful moments. Nature doesnt cost a thing. I like free vacations.

Enclosed is a free HD rock concert as an extra added bonus! Enjoy the Thunder.

Ahhhhhh taking in a deep breath. Thought I'd share with The Village People. ;)

An avid student of Buddhist teachings would often discuss them with Master Foyin.

The two lived across the river from one another.

One day, the student felt inspired and wrote the following poem:

I bow my head to the heaven within heaven
Hairline rays illuminating the universe
The eight winds cannot move me
Sitting still upon the purple golden lotus

Impressed by himself, the student dispatched somebody to hand-carry this poem to the Master.

He felt certain that the Master would be just as impressed, maybe be even recognize his enlightenment.

The "eight winds" in the poem referred to praise, ridicule, honor, disgrace, gain, loss, pleasure and misery - interpersonal forces of the material world that drove and influenced the hearts of men. The student was saying that he had attained a higher level of spirituality, where these forces no longer affected him.

Smiling, the Master wrote "Fart" on the manuscript and had it returned to the student across the river.

Expecting compliments and a seal of approval, the student was shocked when he saw what the Master had written.

He hit the roof: "How dare he insult me like this? Why that lousy old Master! He's got a lot of explaining to do!"

Full of indignation, the student got into a boat and ferried himself to the other shore as quickly as possible.

Once there, he jumped off and charged into the hut where the Master lived. He wanted to find the Master and demand an apology.

He found the Master's door closed. On the door was a piece of paper, with the following two lines:

The eight winds cannot move me
One fart blows me across the river

LOL For true! That kind of glow has it's place, for sure, and this is not it.

I don't know if I've said it here since I've been back. I've said it on the profiles of a few people who welcomed me back personally, but one of the main reasons I returned was because I missed the energy of a number of souls here at PA. Perhaps coincidentally, many of those souls are in residence right here in the Village, which is why the majority of my posting now is here.

I plan on continuing to start a few threads out in the warzone, and commenting in peace on the threads that I find of interest, but, in PA, the energy and specialness of the village is where the soul is for me.

It's kind of nice to be in a forum (PA) where you have the entire world in microcosm, all spectrums of personality and behavior, and yet to also have a gathering of beautiful souls that have similar understandings about how to relate to each other and the world, and who have chosen to open up and share themselves at this very special time, in this very special place.

Quite synchronistic, if you ask me. One of those Divine Coincidences of Time and Space.

My invincible glasses just came in the mail. Got them at www.congrats-gone-nuts.com I might get run out of town for the double post. We'll see if these glasses are worth the price of a latte.

I am a Simpleton

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

I am learning to accept what I am - an honest Simpleton. I'm appreciative when a flash of insight and creativity mix with this simpleton template. I get to share what tickles me in that moment.

It's coming up on five months that I've been a part of the Avalon Family. I don't recall when I ever wasn't. I'm blown away at people's thoughts, experiences, and most importantly, the communication styles. It seems all are becoming more adept with their opinions. Either that I'm a more adept Simpleton.

Being a Simpleton has it's perks. Low expectations, means more room for insight and creativity. And I have more energy because this mind/body template points it's fingers almost never with laughing and guilting at the unused piles of books.

I'm getting better at not convincing myself and others that I know more than I really do. Man, pressures off. Do you know how freeing that is?

I am a Simpleton. The secret's out. There is a nagging feel. But even that doesn't matter. I hope I don't wake up and see it's a dream. There's still residual memory of old patterns, but like a sweaty palm print on a school desk top, that's fading.

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

Time to make the jello. Feels like a lemon lime. That tickles.

Simpleton, to me, anyway, is a slightly diminishing term, and is taking away from your dignity.
Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

As a minimalist you are someone who has become what you are due to conscious choice, because you like it better thn your earlier being.
And this term doesn't even send a signal as to what others might see you as, from their own extravagant stance.

Part of self empowerment is to be in your own space, knowing that only you can occupy it, and then go from there.
This is part of the spirit of the Aquarian age. I bet your 93-year-old aunt would know what I'm talking about here.
But maybe even wasting words in the matter would not be in her interest any longer, since she moved past this issue ages ago.


Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

Minimalist and simpleton, only words. I am a simpleton by comparison to the great intellectuals. Aspiration to be the same is not a genuine life path. Happy to see it finally, ready to let it go.

In order to come to terms with who and what I am and am not, I need to acknowledge the false that I'm living as truth. I'm accepting that it is unrealistic and a waste of precious energy.

In the purity of the moment, coming to terms with long held beliefs of what others may think is an area that needs cleansing. They'll see what they see. But those that read the essence of what/who I am, then no explanation is needed; even that need not be my business.

Nature intended freshness and clear streaming from Heart and Higher Mind. I see it is long over due.

because Here and Nowers are helping to 'create' the new creation in thought and word and action...

I was in physical reality because it is time for the physical being to mature and accept their responsibility for their
creation and to realize that they create their reality…

Only words. You are right. The feelings you are experiencing with your new understanding is what matters.
I can tell you are happy and I am really happy for you.

What I was trying to address was that I am about self empowerment,
and when that happens there is no need to compare oneself to others.
Someone who carves wooden toys and puts their heart and soul into it, enjoying every moment,
may be fulfilling their life's purpose just as would some intellectual who writes and publishes 50 books, sells 20 million copies,
yet leaves many readers with only one desire: to sell 20 million books themselves.

My invincible glasses just came in the mail. Got them at www.congrats-gone-nuts.com I might get run out of town for the double post. We'll see if these glasses are worth the price of a latte.

I am a Simpleton

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

I am learning to accept what I am - an honest Simpleton. I'm appreciative when a flash of insight and creativity mix with this simpleton template. I get to share what tickles me in that moment.

It's coming up on five months that I've been a part of the Avalon Family. I don't recall when I ever wasn't. I'm blown away at people's thoughts, experiences, and most importantly, the communication styles. It seems all are becoming more adept with their opinions. Either that I'm a more adept Simpleton.

Being a Simpleton has it's perks. Low expectations, means more room for insight and creativity. And I have more energy because this mind/body template points it's fingers almost never with laughing and guilting at the unused piles of books.

I'm getting better at not convincing myself and others that I know more than I really do. Man, pressures off. Do you know how freeing that is?

I am a Simpleton. The secret's out. There is a nagging feel. But even that doesn't matter. I hope I don't wake up and see it's a dream. There's still residual memory of old patterns, but like a sweaty palm print on a school desk top, that's fading.

Knock, knock, who's there? Nobody. Nobody who even cares to figure it out.

Time to make the jello. Feels like a lemon lime. That tickles.

Simpleton, to me, anyway, is a slightly diminishing term, and is taking away from your dignity.
Whereas if you called yourself a minimalist you are sending a different signal.

As a minimalist you are someone who has become what you are due to conscious choice, because you like it better thn your earlier being.
And this term doesn't even send a signal as to what others might see you as, from their own extravagant stance.

Part of self empowerment is to be in your own space, knowing that only you can occupy it, and then go from there.
This is part of the spirit of the Aquarian age. I bet your 93-year-old aunt would know what I'm talking about here.
But maybe even wasting words in the matter would not be in her interest any longer, since she moved past this issue ages ago.

Had to share a point of points from an NDE experience just read...
because Here and Nowers are helping to 'create' the new creation in thought and word and action...
as are Others everywhere, just a concentrated selfless effort here, imho : )

I was in physical reality because it is time for the physical being to mature and accept their responsibility for their
creation and to realize that they create their reality…


and that is exactly what the Here and Now is:
the place where physical and higher reality merge.
This does not happen anywhere else. Artists know this.

As for getting the crowd to remain seated, it was a simple projection of a feeling of being out of place and being not with the correct 'public' face and behavior, IF one where to stand up.

A thing or feeling/knowing/trained-behavior that everyone there had, in spades..and then amplified as a mood, sent out to the crowd in front of us, as a continual signal, intently so. Kinda like blanking them out, but with this -superimposed. You can't get people to do things that are against their will. Use the will they already have.

Everyone is already living in an auto-hypnotic state, so it tends to work. The trick is that the broadcast, all of it, is below the conscious line, when this is done. No forcing, just what they already know. None of this is done with the thinking mind. Intensity, energy, and continual, no slips, no forcing. I had a few people turn around their heads and look at me, but that is not unusual.

All of us off-worldlers are being given such a hard time.

There is a reason for this.

No one is given, or to put it another way, selects for themselves, that which they cannot deal with.

Obviously the perspective that this comes from is not the mind/body of the incarnate identity which feels so oppressed, but with that which observes the "oppression" (soul).

If you identify with the observer, you already walked over the bridge to the land of freedom.

If you do not identify with the observer, then you first observe the chasm between you and the land of freedom.

Then you start to build the bridge.

(I use a bridge analogy, others use a doorway that blocks the path - how to open the door, peeking through the keyhole etc)

We have a hard time so we are made to do this.

Time after time after time until we get it done.




(Without wanting to be too controversial, I do raise an eyebrow at the inclusion of the vampire meme, on this thread, given all that has gone down on this forum recently!)

[ulli]

Since it is my thread let me say one thing here, Anchor...
about my use of humor and the intent behind it.
I want you to know, as well as Borden,
and anyone else who no might be wondering how it came to this

I say things in jest, as humor is in my view the best way of breaching gaps.
I see myself as a bridge maker. And my bridges are about both sides retaining their full autonomy,
yet honoring differences without demonizing either side.
Usually this humor comes easy for me...I guess I was born with it.
The thing is, proper bridges have to have a foundation, and those are built by addressing difficult issues rather than skirting them.
The end result is a two way crossing, hence a win-win for all. No losers.
Maybe you mistook my vampire joke as gloating, but let me assure you, I knew why I made it.
No gloating.
When I decided to go and visit the Pub I did so using a funny line to break the ice.
And I believe Songs recognized it for what it was.
The only problem was that Borden did not.
His letter to me surprised me for it's vehemence; it was really hostile.

If the Pub regulars can't see that there is an amazing amount of paranoia there
that makes it impossible to even approach the scene unless one is a drooling admirer
then the only option is to stay away. Which is what I decided to do.
I lay the full blame on Borden, ever since months ago when he made that remark to Carmody,
and it became obvious that one entered the pub at one's own risk.

As for Songsie, with friends like Borden, who needs enemies?
Some of her written stuff is really great, but as she herself realizes, not everyone has to like it.
I have always had a problem with lawyer language and Songsie, being one herself, can't help using it, I guess..
I just hope when they come back that all this stuff can be sorted out.

Ok, so I just got in from getting my "sun" ... (sun stays out till nearly 10:00 pm here this time of year ;-) -- went out and mediated to the sun, something I used to do when I was younger ... sort of ... back then I was trying to get a tan with a quick meditation on the side by accident, that would happen to intrigue me.

But today this was different. Something I haven't done since a late teen, early twenties, I just went out and set up the lawn chair in the ideal spot and stared at the sun with my eyes 98% closed. I heard a robin singing, and she came and flew up upon the church roof adjacent to my property to sing to me. I tried to extend my consciousness to include hers ... I could get brief glimpses of my yard and myself on the lawn chair as though from her eyes, but I wasn't sure. She moved from my sight but I got another glimpse of the street on the other side of the church. I looked again and saw her climb onto the peak. She would have had a view of what I saw in my head ... I am very elated about this. I have not felt this close to nature in many years - a connection I have admittedly lost, but am eager to regain. When I initially posted I need to get back to "communion and play" -- nature has a large part - I want to be the me I was when I was 9 years old. Fearless, but oh so loving.

In my "Sun" meditations, I expressed to him a longing for an "ethereal" connection - not just a "physical senses" one, this was felt in me by a sensation of a tear welling in expression for that longing. I immediately received a vision of the sun - seemingly imposed on the slightly greenish disk I could see through my 2% slits, weeping as well - as though it were equally His wish - that He wants to commune.

While just a personified vision, I am sure it was representative of an energy that is real. I immediately thought back to how all aboriginal races have at one point or another also seen the sun as more a being as opposed to just a giant furnace.

I have been reading some Ken Carey again recently, and I'll paraphrase something from one of his books: ... "... When spirit brushes matter with delicacy and precision, life can arise, When Spirit brushes matter with intensity and vigor, Stars are born."

Just my 2 cents for the hour ;)

I had a few people turn around their heads and look at me, but that is not unusual.

Like So:

Collective Synchronization

Winfree's first paper [4] concerned the mutual synchronization of biological oscillators. How is it that thousands of neurons or fireflies or crickets can suddenly fall into step with one another, all firing or flashing or chirping at the same time, without any leader or signal from the environment? Norbert Wiener had posed this problem in his book Cybernetics [3], but he did not make significant mathematical progress on it, nor did anyone else until Winfree came along. In work that grew out of his senior thesis at Cornell (1965), Winfree studied the nonlinear dynamics of a large population of weakly coupled limit-cycle oscillators. Since variability is inevitable in any real biological population, he assumed that the oscillators' intrinsic frequencies were distributed about some mean value, according to some prescribed probability distribution.

Now here was a mathematical challenge. All the classical work on nonlinear oscillators, by Van der Pol, Cartwright and Littlewood, Levinson, and others, had been restricted to a single forced oscillator, or two coupled oscillators. No one had ever dared to consider gigantic systems of oscillators with randomly distributed frequencies. Winfree cut to the essence of the problem, and introduced an approximation that has been the standard approach to the study of biological oscillators for the past thirty-five years. He argued that in the limit of weak coupling, amplitude variations could be neglected and the oscillators could be described solely by their phases along their limit cycles. This "phase model" reduction stimulated later mathematical work by Guckenheimer, Neu, Kuramoto, Kopell and Ermentrout, and others, who justified it rigorously via invariant manifold theory and averaging theory.

Working within the framework of a mean-field model, Winfree discovered that such oscillator populations can exhibit a remarkable cooperative phenomenon. As the variance of the frequencies is reduced, the oscillators remain incoherent, each running near its natural frequency, until a certain threshold is crossed. Then the oscillators begin to synchronize spontaneously. (The effect is somewhat like the outbreak of synchronous applause after a magnificent concert.) Winfree pointed out that this phenomenon is strikingly reminiscent of a thermodynamic phase transition, but with a twist: The oscillators align in time, not space. This deep analogy has since been explored by many statistical physicists interested in non-equilibrium phase transitions, most notably Kuramoto, and is still a thriving area of research [2]. In the past decade, Winfree's synchronization transition has also shed new light on other collective phenomena in physics, such as Landau damping in plasmas and the onset of phase locking in superconducting Josephson junction arrays.

Winfree's work on coupled oscillators provided one of the first tractable examples of a self-organizing system. It began as a problem in biology but has had a major impact on dynamical systems theory and statistical physics.

Stopping a Biological Clock
Perhaps the most surprising of Winfree's discoveries is that biological clocks can be stopped by relatively mild perturbations. The claim is that a stimulus of appropriate timing and duration can drive the clock to a "phase singularity," roughly analogous to a biological North Pole at which all the phases of the cycle converge and the rhythm's amplitude vanishes. He predicted this in the late 1960s, based on ingenious topological reasoning, and then confirmed it experimentally for the circadian rhythm of hatching in populations of fruitflies (that was his PhD work at Princeton).

Before I explain the reasoning, let me stress how shocking this prediction was. The prevailing dogma about circadian rhythms emphasized their robustness: They persist in the absence of light-dark cycles, their period is essentially independent of temperature, and so on. So the idea that they could be stopped at all, let alone by mild stimuli, seemed absurd. But Winfree's experiments showed that it is true.

Winfree's prediction was based on thinking about maps between circles. He viewed a biological rhythm as a periodic motion through an unknown, high-dimensional state space. Associating a "phase" to each state corresponds to a mapping from the state space to a circle. An experimental perturbation, such as a pulse of light, takes an old phase and maps it to a new phase, and thus induces a circle map. Experimentally, this circle map is often found to be continuous, and to have degree (i.e., winding number) equal to 1 for weak perturbations, but degree 0 for very strong perturbations. Winfree was the first to recognize the significance of the resetting map's degree. He argued that the map could not be continuous for all phases and intermediate perturbation strengths (otherwise, its degree could not change from 1 to 0). In this way, he was led to devise an experimental protocol that he called a "singularity trap," and through dozens of careful experiments varying perturbation strength and timing, he zeroed in on the critical stimulus that stopped the clock.

Hey there, Dedukshun, you look like kind of a cool dood. A Canuck too! Well I'm an American, but living outside of Montreal right now, in the land of tapped trees and snow with maple syrup on it. Apparently it is some kind of winter custom up here. Now THAT is a Canadian custom that I can get with.

Thanks for the instructions, Carmody! Muhahahahahaaaaaaa! ! ! !

Been an interesting evening. Went to Nana's house so Sirayah could do her hair, then we took a run, leaving the boy with his grandmother. After sporadic running during the winter, we've gotten it to a two-to-three-times-a-week schedule, our bodies must be responding because we have finally progressed to a full 30 minute run with some energy left over. It's funny how the body can progress but you never know it till you apply yourself and push yourself past your previous limits. We'd been running for 14-16 minutes up till tonight, which was good enuf coming out of winter into spring and the summer. Tonight's run reminded me of being in the Army again, doing what we called the airborne shuffle. Kind of a modified walk/run thing, shuffling along, singing cadence. Not being in a formation of hundreds, Sira and I move a bit quicker. But same idea. Faster than a brisk walk, slower than a fast run. By the Fall, we plan on doing some races, not to compete, just to set some benchmarks for ourselves and imprint the joy of physical activity back in our lives.

Both of us being pretty serious athletes when we were younger helps. The body remembers, despite the scars and perennial aches and pains that accumulate over the years. For me, bad shoulders from years of throwing and shooting balls, troublesome knees from years of jumping with balls and without them on and within track fields, and, of course, running, running, running throughout.

Had a few illuminations later in the evening. Sira's mother doesn't always appreciate me, so she can get a bit of an attitude sometimes. That's fine, I'm not everybody's cup of tea. I was not offended, although Sira was a bit upset after. Another opportunity for me to 'drive all blame into one', I find. Something that I've had to work at, but that has gotten easier as it has also gotten easier not to take offense or to display or even feel strong emotion in situations that used to give rise to it. Nowadays, it's the things that naggle and bedraggle a body, that slip into a soul on the sly, nattering and nabobbing away almost at the subliminal level. The low-level aggrievement just barely above the line between unconsciousness and full consciousness that must be tamed, weeded out, exorcised. Gently and with love, of course, as we have to love ourselves before we can love anybody else.

Learning to really and truly express love and compassion for others, to manifest relative bodhichitta, and through doing, deepen the experience of ultimate bodhichitta and restful abiding in a state of non-discursiveness, has become more than just an intellectualization since the great gathering (http://rahkyt.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/the-great-gathering/) and is now a conscious state, mindfulness is becoming more and more prevalent. It feels as if there is no longer any need to strive, only to Be. No longer a need to Become, only to Actualize. All of the lessons that reinforce this understanding are great blessings to be appreciated.

So I appreciate she who will be my mother-in-law someday. LOL And I thank her, AND ALL SENTIENT BEINGS, who seek to be troublesome and to irk and revile and accost and bedevil me, for helping me to drive all blame into one and for giving me the opportunity to heal myself of what ails me. Ego-clinging, in all of its manifestations.

I'll be going to bed, soon. G'night to the Village. May all your dreams be light.

As for getting the crowd to remain seated, it was a simple projection of a feeling of being out of place and being not with the correct 'public' face and behavior, IF one where to stand up.

I've done stuff like this. I found out by accident. I feel like its kind of naughty to muck about this way though so I dont do it these days.

When I was a kid (8 or 9 ish) we used to go eat our school dinners in a canteen.

The noise was outrageous, and one day I just kind of imagined it quiet and peaceful. The next thing I knew the noise levels dropped and people were looking at each-other in a kind of surprised way, then after a few heartbeats it picked back up. It was repeatable, then I kind of lost interest in it.

The idea of doing this surfaced later in life (18+) and I did some things experimentally and fundamentally harmless, but without the knowledge or consent of those people that I tried "it" on, I have no doubt there are consequences to that.

Your story of the concert bought it all back.

The explanations you are positing for how it might work are very interesting.

Of course we may or may not be talking about the same thing.

It was repeatable, then I kind of lost interest in it.

The idea of doing this surfaced later in life (18+) and I did some things experimentally and fundamentally harmless, but without the knowledge or consent of those people that I tried "it" on, I have no doubt there are consequences to that.

Your story of the concert bought it all back.

The explanations you are positing for how it might work are very interesting.

Of course we may or may not be talking about the same thing.

Oh, I don't do it either. The temptation to play with the 50k people was definitely there. But that would be ego, and irresponsible. However, there are always times, in such a gathering -of communication. I'm a bit guilty of the one thing here, but it was rather benign. I've done it by accident before, not knowing how potent it can be.

The other problem is that the performers can (well, will) become a focal point, and this can end up being intense, for all involved.

Noted that the new Greek prime minister and his finance minister are both hospitalized before taking office, for the larger part.

Out of the blue, they are both in a hospital.

Packing the last bit of my life up tonight..

Listening to Radiohead

RU8slEG-OtM



After years of waiting
Nothing came
As your life flashed before your eyes
You realize

I'm a reasonable man
get off, get off, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
get off my case, get off my case

After years of waiting

After years of waiting
Nothing came
And you realize your looking, looking in the wrong place

I'm a reasonable man
get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

After years of waiting

I'm a reasonable man
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man,
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

I'm a reasonable man,
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case
I'm a reasonable man,
get off my case, get off my case, get off my case

It's just one of those Radiohead kind of nights

Good morning, Village.

There are 23 guests viewing this thread. I'm the only member at the moment. Hello, 23 guests! You are welcome to join if you wish.

This Deepak Chopra thread, I missed. I'm wondering if others did too, so I'm giving us another link:

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?46271-DEEPAK-CHOPRA-Revisited-rebooting-focus

I bought a tape program by Deepak Chopra called 'The Higher Self', I think in the early 90's... I'd never heard of the HS at the time, and it was endlessly fascinating to me. Deepak's voice is so soothing and wonderful to listen to, it became my evening therapy.

Because he was also a medical doctor as well as a spiritual person, many people were able to open their minds to his wisdom. I guess there have to be bridges from what we have believed to be true, to what could be true, then to what is true.

Blessings to all. I hope everyone has a good day.

Ho'oponopono
I'm sorry
Please forgive me
I love you
Thank you

Love,

Yes - I downloaded them, and watched those on the train on the way to work. Very good. Now I am watching this one... ;)

Good Morning :)

Enjoyed my date immensely, obviously too much. The thing about notes-to-self is that if you forget the note, it's not much good ;) Yup, 2 beers is slightly too many. I haven't had a night out, or a beer, in ... well it must be over a year because I can't remember when. And it was balmy outside, even in the evening, so the cold draft in a glass...so refreshing. We were surprised by live, er, music. That's what they said. It was so cool to watch the musician next to me click in. Both of us being who we are, we can really enjoy good music, whatever the genre. But, alas, some music should not be classified as such. We shared a LOT of laughs...not tacky or hurtful or (hopefully) even noticeable...Sometimes, it just hurts your ears. (I feel you Ulli)

The thing about the beer aftermath is that I noticed that though it had an effect on my body and my brain, I had totally sober dreams. Something clicked when I realized this, and now I am struck with the idea that I am not my body or my brain. I have been sharing bits and pieces of my journey, so you all know that on some level I knew this. Oddly, though, the beer in the body and brain but not in my dream....was tangible. Lately, I walk around with my eyebrows raised at all the surprises I experience, I can't even figure out why anything surprises me any more. But, this is my raised-eyebrows moment for today. Or, this morning, as the day is still young...never know what's coming.

I will also say....Beer is a study in ego.

In my here and now, I will be pondering the concept of intention today. That's what has stuck in my mind since Saturday (among sooooo many other things), so apparently that is what I am to ponder for a bit. A true understanding of what intent is... It will be too hot for me outside today, 104F expected. When the humidity is factored in, it may feel like 110F. Hmph.

And I mustn't forget my mantra....It's Okay.

Much Love,

[astrid]

Early morning here and sunny.
Getting a vibe of Avalon and balancing the various threads in my mind.
Then trying to put it all in the larger context.
My toolbox for these reflections includes these terms
Wholeness
Duality
Oneness
Consciousness
Intent
Self preservation
Identification
Truth
Facts
Deception
Authenticity
Entrapment
Then how to reconcile it all?
The Drake and Wilcock camps? Where is the disinformation aspect to all this?
It's obvious to me that ANYONE who speaks out in these things will be targeted with some kind of zapping.
Yet the way they are going about it is probably the only way. Just like the Wingmakers was a mythology and when discovered as such made a lot of people angry.
Yet, it is mythology that gets the imagination of the masses set for creating their world.
So my wish is that all those who only see the dangerous side of this, like 'people are being lied to', etc. try for a moment to see the bigger picture here. It is emerging. Sabrina's thread is the one that gives the most clues.
Pub and Village are the microcosm of that. The two form a whole, Village is about everyday conscious creativity and Pub is about after hours relaxation, where yarns are told that get the imagination going.
It's all good, as long as there is moderation.

As for Songsie, with friends like Borden, who needs enemies?
Some of her written stuff is really great, but as she herself realizes, not everyone has to like it.
I have always had a problem with lawyer language and Songsie, being one herself, can't help using it, I guess..
I just hope when they come back that all this stuff can be sorted out.

Fred cautiously approaches ulli with a rather uneasy look in his eye. He's genuinely curious to find some plausible reason why this is still being discussed in such a manner. In Fred's world, this is known as a cheap shot.

Fred politely nods, and goes off to do some dishes before going beddy bye.

Sleep on it, Fred.
By the time you wake up you will have figured it all out.
And might even find yourself in a new world
where the word "shot" is unknown.

Aw hell ulli, we're good, I just call em like I see em. Too bad the song "I ---- the Sheriff" will never be the same however. http://nexus.2012info.ca/forum/images/smilies/drum.gif

Hey, no more shotgun weddings, either?
No more pharmaceutical shots?
No more shot of rum?

Winfree's first paper [4] concerned the mutual synchronization of biological oscillators. How is it that thousands of neurons or fireflies or crickets can suddenly fall into step with one another, all firing or flashing or chirping at the same time, without any leader or signal from the environment?
Snip...



Winfree should become remembered for connecting the various scientific fields and set a trend for others to follow his example. Like you, who has let chemistry knowledge take you over into alchemy, and physics take you to metaphysics...
then the wholeness of the microcosm and the microcosm, the ripples effect, parallel events, rather than cause and effect, will lead to a deep understanding of what "as above, so below" really means: Man created in God's image.
Let loose on earth to find the Higher Will, by first running amok with free will.

As for getting the crowd to remain seated, it was a simple projection of a feeling of being out of place and being not with the correct 'public' face and behavior, IF one where to stand up.

I've done stuff like this. I found out by accident. I feel like its kind of naughty to muck about this way though so I dont do it these days.

When I was a kid (8 or 9 ish) we used to go eat our school dinners in a canteen.

The noise was outrageous, and one day I just kind of imagined it quiet and peaceful. The next thing I knew the noise levels dropped and people were looking at each-other in a kind of surprised way, then after a few heartbeats it picked back up. It was repeatable, then I kind of lost interest in it.

The idea of doing this surfaced later in life (18+) and I did some things experimentally and fundamentally harmless, but without the knowledge or consent of those people that I tried "it" on, I have no doubt there are consequences to that.

Your story of the concert bought it all back.

The explanations you are positing for how it might work are very interesting.

Of course we may or may not be talking about the same thing.

I used to have to take a train from central London (Kings Cross...ref or Meeradas here)
to Leicester in the Midlands, to visit the knitwear factory I had a contract with,
and I would leave my car overnight parked near the station.
To get there I took a motorway from Shepherd's Bush,
and having left the office too late was worried about catching my train.
Thick traffic meant I had to do something to get there on time. So I did.
That was the first time in my life that I realized I had this inner power,
as I made those cars move out of my way with my mind.
I wish now there had been a co-pilot with a camera, no one would believe those driving feats.
I don't do that sort of thing any more. But I know it can be done.
Later I learnt that I wasn't the only one who could do it.
I still use the ability to ensure myself a free parking place near to where I'm headed.

Aw, cripey, another one? Another realization? Well, I did say the day is young, didn't I?

I'm sitting on my perch, minding my own business, and thinking to myself how I have got to take a break from this stuff. Feeling overwhelmed with...well...I don't know what it is...just...how i get. And then, aha! I've always been an angel, I just didn't "BE" one that one day...that's why so many people over the last several years...too many to count...have suggested grounding to me. I'm never grounded, lol, because..well....you get the idea. (I hope)

I'm "out there"...that's just how I naturally am. No wonder grounding is so damned hard for me. It seems like most people started out grounded, so they periodically feel the need to return to that comfortable state. Hell, my natural state is not grounded, so it is difficult for me to connect with grounded.

Wow. That explains a lot. Doesn't make it any easier, but does explain a lot...

Me, to me: It's okay. Don't panic. It's okay.

It will become easier the more you get used to it.
New difficulties will arise that will make you forget your new capacity
the way you get used to a new and more powerful car...
after a while you just drive it without even thinking "Wow, this is my new car"
you just go where you need to be. Cool as a cucumber cookie.

So I appreciate she who will be my mother-in-law someday. LOL And I thank her, AND ALL SENTIENT BEINGS, who seek to be troublesome and to irk and revile and accost and bedevil me, for helping me to drive all blame into one and for giving me the opportunity to heal myself of what ails me. Ego-clinging, in all of its manifestations.

Beautiful sentiments, Brother!

@Rahkyt: absolutely brilliant. I can see you've been busy refining your perspective as well as your language.

All together, we are getting the truth out there. Some use pictures, some use articles, some use music, some use fiction, some use slogans, some use poetry.

And if the Wingmakers materials left just this one legacy:
that many different forms of creativity are needed
for all the different types of people and peoples out there to be reached...
And everyone who clicks becomes a culture bearer.
Exponential curve, ripple effect, woohoo, here we come.

Another thing is that once one knows a thing, cognition and rumination disallows innocence to remain, thus cost and karma enter the fray. Choices need be made, in the face of knowing. Previously 'free' areas of consideration and behavioral (universal) connection---become weighted.

Subtle those choices may seem, in the face of those who sill live in unknowing... but critical they are, those choices.
