Here and Now...What's Happening?

[PurpleLama]

Yes, this is essential.


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.

Hmmm. Okay, that makes sense. Can't use ignorance of the law as a defense type of thing. Once one knows a thing, he is responsible for that thing. But why do cognition and rumination cause this? In what I have been observing, the exercises of intellectualizing any thing takes it out of the category of knowing and puts it into the category of learning.

Right!

Once we see what we're up to, we can't un-know that, and resume the pretense of "Gee Officer, I didn't know about that law . . ."

Well I can't speak for Carmody, but I am not sure that cognition and rumination are always exercises of intellectualization. Ruminating seems more open minded and less thinky to me, drawing in experience, feelings, memory, not necessarily a conclusion.

Okay, so ruminating in this instance is allowing the knowing to freely be. And other knowings come organically from the first. In which case, I am wondering if it is not possible that along with the thing, which in the sense that it is known and has not been sought after but has been granted, the decisions that stem from that knowing will also be made, consciously or not, within the bounds of the reason for the knowing.

Can you give me an example of what you mean?
Sierra

[1inMany]

Well, I can try lol.

Hmmm. I can't think of one, but i can try to rephrase. Maybe that will help. If there is an agreement that any entity is working within...then a knowing that is given/received/obtained/attained is within said agreement. Further understanding of the thing, or further knowings - more grasp, more appreciation - would lead to decisions that would automatically be influenced...the decisions would be influenced by the "new" knowing.

I'm wondering if it would be possible, then, that the decisions, whether they be on a conscious level or not, would also fall within the agreement?

Um...would it always be the case that when one knows a thing that it would lead to more conscious consideration of that thing during the decision making process?

[another bob]

Um...would it always be the case that when one knows a thing that it would lead to more conscious consideration of that thing during the decision making process?

Sure! For example, when you know that putting your hand in the fire hurts, you're more conscious of where you stick that hand when you're around fire.

[PurpleLama]

Um...would it always be the case that when one knows a thing that it would lead to more conscious consideration of that thing during the decision making process?

Yes. That's the rumination part.

Yes, but...hmmm. If you have a knowing that the fire will burn your hand, and that knowing has come to you without conscious consideration, would you still keep your hand out of the fire? That's kind of what I mean. Knowing being different that knowledge here, and decision making bypassing conscious 3D awareness? Sometimes knowing a thing is...doesn't come from a process of seeking that thing. So, could it happen that one can have a knowing that the fire would be hot, and the decision to keep hands and feet out of it would be a natural decision given that knowing? But, all of this having been without ever having gotten burned or the thought of being burned not entering into the equation.

Yes, as conclusion tends to have a need to remain open. For to conclude, before the full unfolding of an event, in time... conclusion is a form of judgment, which is partially projection and reflection. which, as a path, leads to closure of pathways, to a defined state, which is an ending of sorts, not an unfolding. Conclusion can lead to stagnation.

Since all events are but components in a stream of flow, this can mean that nothing may ever truly be complete, within or through an open consideration of self.

Thus one could think of cognition (to see) and rumination (to consider),as components of learning, and conclusion to be potentially tainted in the desirous reflective self.

[PurpleLama]

You would consciously be careful of the fire, but so, too, would your reflexes operate to protect you from the fire. Indeed, the reflexes may be their own unconscious, innate knowing of "fire is hot", or, conversely, the innate knowing being absent might lead to the fire not burning at all. I am not stretching the example as far as it might appear....

[Samsara]

One of my greatest teachers is my son-in-law. I am grateful for the lessons I am learning through him. I know that anybody in our life is there for a reason, even when it brushes me on the wrong side of the hair (“flatter dans le mauvais sens du poil”) – irritating.

I learn to let go and trust that all is well, that my daughter is going to be fine, and I don’t have to worry for her. Worrying does not change a thing anyway; it only makes my own life miserable and inhibits my love. I learned to allow my daughter’s experiences, even if it means her suffering.

Getting to know where he is coming from was a big help. Some family secrets came to the surface at one point and I understood. It has put things into perspective, helping me to understand certain behaviors. He is learning where we are coming from too. Very different backgrounds, but yet, we are all the same.

In the beginning of their relationship, we were not friends. That was hard for me because I always had very good relationships with my daughter’s boyfriends (there we two of them before him). They still come and visit me when they are in the neighborhood. After now 8 years, this is starting to change. I am no longer a threat to him, or him to me. It is interesting how relationships evolve.

This reflection came to be because of a conversation I had with my daughter this morning. She won some tickets for a once in a lifetime concert a couple of months ago, which happens tonight. D has been on a bad mood/control freak spree since yesterday. She will not go with a “gros mauvais humeur” – “big bad mood”. Hope he can change this, because she will go with someone else, and he will miss out on a great evening with his lady.

For me, my Little Prince is coming over for the night. We will have a great time!

[ulli]

While you are under the protection of parents you can remain innocent, naive, even.
Everything is done for you, and each wrong move is met with a pain, or a firm NO!

The moment you have learnt enough about life and leave home,
you find that there are choices to be made and
no one is there to make them for you.
You become responsible for your actions.
That's the moment you leave childhood innocence behind, unless you never put a foot wrong.
As you make wrong choices you become aware of consequences, and can then 'mend your ways'(lovely cliche there)

This works in any context, one simple example is in dieting, where it is a sin to eat a huge piece of cake, with the consequence being the opposite of what you set out to do, which was to lose weight.
Self sabotage is a form of loss of innocence, too, and one of the hardest to recognize.

Personally, I know that my sense of innocence only remains intact when I take issues from duality perspective to oneness perspective as I see fit.
Maybe it's just a fixed idea, but I don't think so. I can change it at any moment, like when I see too much uniformity around me, I first check and see if maybe I have become too conformist myself, and am getting a synchronistic message, or I find with careful analysis and gathering of information that the outer environment really got into a state of imbalance. Then I might even go on Facebook and do a rant against uniformity, and proclaim the virtues of originality and uniqueness.
But too much uniqueness leads to eccentricity, perversity and unnecessary disturbance of vital processes. Cancer cells going wild. What would be the benefits of that?


So, in my case, I retain my innocence with acts of reconciliation of opposites.
I had to go from ignorant innocence to an innocent state of ignorance to see this clearly. Drop my arrogance, drop my self preservation which used to be ferocious.

Some fear that all unification efforts are a symptom of humanity being herded into slavery, but I don't believe that, certainly not as the final picture. Everything will continue.

I'm convinced that it is for the best of all that we becomme united in one vision, namely to be a humanity that is completely free from large scale warfare.
Of course there will always be conflict and disagreements, divorces and squabbles, loss of innocence and recovery of innocence, but organized warfare has to go.


Holding on to that vision and acting on it in a way that is effective and not self sabotaging, thats when I feel my innocence has remained intact.

[1inMany]

OR, Carmody, were you saying that each knowing leads to decisions that have more weight... so one needs to be more aware of this?

[Sierra]

Then I'm not sure I understand. Okay, duh, I understand this whole concept. But I suspect that the right decisions are made many times without consciously thinking about them.

Sure. If you've been sufficiently burned in the past, habitual avoidance occurs without thinking or processing the avoidance behavior. You've already learned it. You are 'responsible' for not getting burned again ...

A trickier example is when one is conflicted between STS and STO. Say you want that last piece of cake but you know someone is coming that really wants that last piece of cake and hasn't had a piece yet. You know, and are responsible for knowing that piece of cake in all fairness, really belongs to someone else ...

Even if it has buttercream frosting ... sigh.

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.

Hi 1inMany,

This relates to how I feel. The part of being ungrounded as a natural state that is.
a member here on PA suggested a grounding exercise,.... not too hard to do and to me very useful.
You just bring your attention to your hands. It pulls you right in the 'now' and gets you in contact with whatever there is to be felt then.
works great when you're around people too.

From the thread The Alien Shoot Out at Dulce

I helped bury the material in the Arizona mountains. He was on the run - stayed in touch with me via a mail code. He traveled a lot, finally accepted work in a underground in Costa Rica. He asked me to start sending the Dulce material to anyone would listen. That was in 1987. Tom told me if anything happened to him, he asked me to finish exposing the horrid base. In 1991 there was a 7.5 earthquake near his work site. I haven't heard him since that quake, so he is assumed dead. The stories about Tom and Dulce got wilder every year - a few months ago I broke my silence and went on Face book. And here we are - talking about it. (November 19 at 2:13pm)

OR, Carmody, were you saying that each knowing leads to decisions that have more weight... so one needs to be more aware of this?

Yes and no. Perception and position, cognition and rumination... all these play a part. If decisions become more and more weighted, then learning is likely not keeping pace with one's given stretch or reach.

How much one integrates with the unknowing world can and usually does become the 'weight of decisions and acts'. Thus the monk in the cave, spending decades in the act of clearing the self.

Dan, the truth is I didn't really believe the story. Maybe not want to believe the story.
But here is the weird coincidence: Higher up on the page was an unusual photo, which looks just like a picture I posted on this thread yesterday...
a dog with a human face.
Is this a sign that I'm supposed to look into this Costa Rica underground ? (whatever that means?
The 7.1 quake of 1991 was offshore near the Atlantic coast, and never a 7.5.
Very few people died. But then that could be a lie from the MSM.
Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Good post Carmody,

"Knowing" a thing has a nearly opposite effect as "experiencing" a thing. In order to "know" anything you must step outside the Present Moment and entertain constructions of illusion. I see this as the dividing line between ego and spirit (to simplify everything - and this accurate).

The whole goal in the big picture (in my opinion for today for this post - I'm dynamic ;-), is to make this distinction clear, then learning to utilize the ego as a "tool" for coping in a physical world, rather than a Bull in the China shop that it is when this distinction is not made - the distinction between the "experience" of the present moment and everything else. The ego has served us well enough to survive to this point - it is a survival mechanism that has over extended its usefulness.

Remind me to put up my post on "Choices vs Decisions" and how to always make choices from the heart as opposed to from fear. It is unbelievable, because most - even best intentioned people, still make most of their decisions in fear without even knowing it. I'll see if I can get that whipped up today ...

Mainly @ 1inmany but also to myself:
IMO, being ungrounded is lack of contact with our creaturehood, our natural body state of grace. Our bodies are made of the Earth, every last molecule, and will return to Her. Too much emotion, Water, intellectualizing, Air, or too spiritualizing, Fire, will lead to not being grounded. Feel the delight of a breeze or the warmth of the Sun. Keep it simple. Don't fly off into 'feelings' about it, or intellectualize the wonder of it. Don't even get into spiritual musings about meaning of it all. Just realize it is our inheritance, our natural state of creature grace on this planet. Let the peripheral nervous system tell you why Spirit took up a body. Eat a piece of real fruit with flavor and dripping with sweetness and juice. Sit on the ground or walk barefoot on the real Earth. Almost every problem we have is not one of where the body is, but where the mind and emotions are. Illnesses of the body are illnesses of poor thoughts, choices and emotions, both personal and societal.

When going to bed, remember your body is in a warm, safe and comfortable space. You are probably overfed. Life is very good, despite what the demons running through your mind or emotions inform otherwise. Body will stay behind when spirit departs. Is your heart beating, are you breathing? All is well from the grounded, perspective. We are born grounded and are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are. A very few psychopaths have taken full advantage of this distraction to create even more.

Grounding is about keeping it simple and being as quiet as possible inwardly.

I could not keep this to myself. My path does require me to share the goods. My life is very blessed and peaceful. The tiny corner of it that squawks a bit is all a part of me not handling something.........yet.

I have two full hummingbird feeders at opposite ends of the house. There are two hummingbirds who live here, and when one goes to a feeder, the other comes and chases it away, and vise versa, so that neither is able to enjoy the nectar without worrying about the other one darting in and ruining the experience. Ironically, each could have their own feeder and drink in peace, if they were able to figure out that there's plenty for each.

Funny birds!

Command of the Eagle

When the warrior becomes fully aligned to the Dreamer they have the Command of the Eagle at their hand. Toltecs call the Creator of the Nagual (all that is), the Eagle. When a warrior has the Command of the Eagle at their hand they have the power of the Intent of all creation.

When we are fully aligned to the Dreamer, the Dreamer’s will and our will are one. We have free will but it is the will of the Dreamer. For those new to Toltec lore, the Dreamer is the entity that dreams our particular lifetime. We are the dreamed, dreamed by the Dreamer, our life is the dream.

We begin aligning to the Dreamer when we embark on the Mastery of Intent.

Got stuck in this last night (I put myself there) different port of entry, this is San Ysidro -I was at the Otay Mesa entry.

http://s3-media3.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/Q1soPBQ7bm-Ld-ODmmQbRQ/l.jpg

I went to the Tecate port and there was an incident at the port. Traffic was directed to the Mexicali or Otay Mesa ports. I drove to the Garita de Otay and got in one of the very long lines. A white truck stalled out and I had to switch lanes.... and knew could feel it..... something was going to happen.
Waited for 2 hours inch by smoggy inch.... was the next car to cross....and Customs spotted a drug cartel fugitive, smuggler or decoy ....not sure which. Protocol... is they tell you to turn your car off, get out and back away from the scene.... I was one car over and Customs firearms drawn running, told me to stay in my car and get down.
People getting out of their cars running everywhere and ducking behind cars. Another ten minutes goes by feels like an hour, they secure one guy but the other wont get out of the car. Customs has to rush the car and takes the other guy down and secures the scene.... they opened the port back up.... checked my passport and wave me through. This is becoming a norm more and more

I don't know how many Mexico trips I have left in me....

Blessed be.... no one got hurt.

The post I was alluding to posting, several posts prior ... ;)

Choices, Decisions and the Domestication of Man

I'll try to keep this short, so fill in the blanks where needed ... This is the very short version. It is loosely based on Toltec Wisdom, a bunch of my own musings, and a technique I learned somewhere -- Bill Ryan would likely recognize it ;)

How to domesticate a wild animal? Generally, there are only two principles at work here. Punishment and reward. With consistency and authority, you punish undesired behaviour and reward desired behaviour. The forms of punishment and reward vastly vary to different degree of effects, but the process is always the same. This process is one of programming fear into a consciousness - it is that simple. The subject begins to fear the punishment, but also, it begins to fear a lack of reward - this part of the process is hidden to many - it goes quickly from, "joy of reward" to "fear of not getting the reward"; or just "Fear" if we simplify it.

How to domesticate a human? Have kids. That is all you need to do. "Fear Programming" has been so effective on humans that we are now self domesticating. It is culturally encoded into all our systems - every single culture on Earth is encoded with this self domesticating process; the only difference between "Cult" and "Culture" is scale. We are taught that this is "civility", yet, if you make the right distinctions, you can see there is nothing really civil about this process, and that it is merely a form of control so effective that we do it to ourselves as a species without questioning it.

Think about all the decisions you make in a day .. "Should I buy this? no, it costs too much ..."<Fear of lack>; "I haven't talked to my Mom all month, I better call her or she'll be upset"<Fear of others thoughts>; "If I had that fancy car I bet I could get that hot chick to go on a date .."<Fear of lack of self worth>; Almost every decision made has a hidden fear behind it. We have been programmed to re-act this way in every instance of our lives.

So what is the alternative? How to break from this vicious cycle? The ONLY way is to center yourself in the present moment and make all your life choices from a center of love. Perfect! How do we do that?

I'm going to try to show you a very effective technique to nullify the fear from all your choices ...

First I need to make clear another distinction: Choices and Decisions -- they are not the same thing. Let us entertain these definitions:


Choice: To select after a consideration.

Decision: To select based on a consideration.


Now, ]Paper? or Plastic? Make a Choice between those two ... go on - using the distinctions above Make a CHOICE. Now why did you choose that one? Do you have your reason as to why? Now look at your reason, by the definitions above, -- did you make a Choice? or a Decision? I'm willing to bet you made a decision. What was your selection based on? The consideration driven by your reason - thus you made a decision.

Try again, Paper? or Plastic? Make a CHOICE this time. Ok? Got it? What was your reason for that choice? Wait a sec - did you base that choice on your reason? That's a decision then -- not a choice.

Keep trying ... ;) It can't be that hard, I gave both very clear definitions of a choice and decision ...

By now some of you will have gotten what I was after - some still not. Humans are programmed with "Reasons" -- this is our own self administered "pleasant" version punishment and reward system. Reasons become the self sustained "more comfortable" construct as an alias of the punishment and reward system in humans, and it is so effective some find it "frightening" to try to make a choice without a "reason" to back it up!

However freedom is found in the absence of reasons.

If you can make a proper choice without a need to apply any justification or reasoning to it, you have made that choice from love in the Present Moment (or insanity, or extreme drunkenness ;-). If you find yourself having "Reasons" and making "Decisions" as opposed to choices, then you are living in your past and keeping that past energized into dragging you back as opposed to the Present Moment, which where you really want to be.

If there are any who have not "gotten" it, or if I was not clear enough - "choices" are not made with any reasons, but they may be made after reasoning, in the present moment, from a state of love. Therefore, if you present any "reason" for basing your selection when asked -- your mind was not in the present moment when you made the selection, but rather the priority was on the "reason" - a past based illusionary construct.

The people who rule this world control with these programs of reason - the punishment and reward systems are already in place and they just need to give you new "reasons" for you to believe in to satisfy your fears. We do all the hard work up front by programming our children, then schools do some programming, TV, friends, religions even, it all uses this exact, yet rather simple system. The great thing is that it is easy to escape the programming by making CHOICES instead of DECISIONS. Just keep this distinction ;)

Ready? Set! CHOOSE!

In my mind the only real valid reason for almost anything should be this (and it is not even a real "reason" ;)): "Because I am loving ... <fill in the blank>" ;) My 2 cents ;)

[eaglespirit]

So glad You are Home, Nora...the "borders" are going to go through some interesting shifts methinks, soon.
They will have little to no relevance as things begin to change as this year unfolds more expediently...
A few more bumps in the road and we're on our way ^^^Home^^^...in the highest of spiritual rhythms.

Well, now, this is interesting. Apparently, this is a new form of expression. I've never heard of it anyway. These are Rave Gloves...lights in the tips...some performers (for lack of a better word) are really fun to watch. Thought I would help the village stay up with the young 'ens (lol).

Mainly @ 1inmany but also to myself:
IMO, being ungrounded is lack of contact with our creaturehood, our natural body state of grace. Our bodies are made of the Earth, every last molecule, and will return to Her. Too much emotion, Water, intellectualizing, Air, or too spiritualizing, Fire, will lead to not being grounded. Feel the delight of a breeze or the warmth of the Sun. Keep it simple. Don't fly off into 'feelings' about it, or intellectualize the wonder of it. Don't even get into spiritual musings about meaning of it all. Just realize it is our inheritance, our natural state of creature grace on this planet. Let the peripheral nervous system tell you why Spirit took up a body. Eat a piece of real fruit with flavor and dripping with sweetness and juice. Sit on the ground or walk barefoot on the real Earth. Almost every problem we have is not one of where the body is, but where the mind and emotions are. Illnesses of the body are illnesses of poor thoughts, choices and emotions, both personal and societal.

When going to bed, remember your body is in a warm, safe and comfortable space. You are probably overfed. Life is very good, despite what the demons running through your mind or emotions inform otherwise. Body will stay behind when spirit departs. Is your heart beating, are you breathing? All is well from the grounded, perspective. We are born grounded and are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are. A very few psychopaths have taken full advantage of this distraction to create even more.

Grounding is about keeping it simple and being as quiet as possible inwardly.

I could not keep this to myself. My path does require me to share the goods. My life is very blessed and peaceful. The tiny corner of it that squawks a bit is all a part of me not handling something.........yet.

We all have our challenges.

Thank you for sharing this. I, too, wish you would post here more often. Alas, leaving your fans always wanting more lol.

After listening to what you were saying, I realized that I am drinking juice instead of soda, eating fresh fruit, eating salads til I fear turning into a rabbit...a radical change for me, and all because I was just eating what my body told me I wanted, what I crave. As that changes, I follow the body's lead. Being overfed or underfed is quite the possibility since balance is something I learn after changes happen.

I wonder if you can tell me more about this:

are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are.
because I am wondering whether spiritual growth doesn't cause one to become ungrounded as well. If this is the case, then it is not always being slowly pulled upward into that cacophony, but also towards more spiritual pursuits? I don't know, just wondering.

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


I've always been an angel,..

1inMany, how precious to come to Know!

There’s an exercise where you stand in front of a mirror in a darkened room, and squint your eyes for a little bit. You see your wings. They may not be spread upward. Sometimes, they are folded down, so just the tops and part of the sides of the wings appear. And there’s a glow, too.

If you don’t see them, it just means you are better than many at following inner knowing. Some feel their wings on their backs, too. (If people have a different account of how angels look, they won’t see the wings.)


While you are here, I enjoyed reading about your date. I’m happy for you. (On all accounts.) http://www.pic4ever.com/images/za4.gif

Much Love,

Spiritual growth IS the result of more groundedness...more attunement to nature and our own natural ways and means...the higher rhythms are an ebb and flow of cause and effect of our connection to the love of mother earth and thus ALL life around and above and beyond and Our Very Own : ) Every moment becomes more and more spiritually entwined.
Had to chime in 1InMany...Love,Love,Love!!!

I'm reaching out for help....again. I hate doing this. I have to be pretty desperate to ask for help...as so many of you all do, too. I just spoke with Mike about the Boss/job/our future. Honestly, he is in a place of despair. Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, everybody around here, including Mike, is not feeling well physically.

Apparently, the letter of intent - or offer to buy Boss' company - has not been well received. We knew this might happen, but I think in the back of Mike's mind he was hoping this would be the option that materialized. If this option materialized, according to Mike, he/we would be able to retire at some point. The Build-It (building a new company from scratch) would not afford any retirement options, and taking the Indiana job would not either. We used to have a nest egg, but it is now exhausted...taking care of people...as is the right and really only use for money if you ask me. But, I understand his fear that he will be "working for the man" for the rest of his years, and that 30 or 40 years of work will be "for nothing."

This thinking is disturbing to someone who has faith that everything will be okay and that we will be taken care of. The life we have shared has shown that "taken care of" may mean that we sleep in the car. Of course, I guess that is in the realm of possibility, but not probable. He has not ever chosen medication to treat his bipolar disorder, mostly because he denies having it. However, every family member - siblings, children, you name it - has been diagnosed. I mention this because when I say despair, I really do mean despair and I say so sheepishly but in all seriousness.

At this point, he wants to take a job with the Indiana company, and forget building anything. I support him wholeheartedly, but I do not think our separate living arrangement would change :( So, this makes things a little more complicated even as it gets him away from his Boss the quickest (which is his desire).

Anyone who has a little to share, would you send a booster our way?

You know I appreciate it very much.

Much Love,

“... paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things....”

“It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen as those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

“But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically...”

“...But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?”

“...it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.”

“What we think as think of as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“

3:36,

Q: What are the benefits of having a singer that isn't real?

A:"You don't have to worry about, like, public scenes and stuff. // Like Hannah Montana!.....// She was great, and then she started acting like a hooker."

[ulli]

Sending energy, 1inMany.
You will be fine.
There is just one line which you expressed there,
which showed me an error in your thinking, please don't be upset if I tell you this.

I happen to believe that our conscious universe might have responded to that philosophy of yours.
Hence your situation.
This is what you said:
"We used to have a nest egg, but it is now exhausted...taking care of people.....as is the right and really only use for money if you ask me."
This is a limiting statement.

My husband has a guilt thing about charging sick people, and thats why he is not a rich doctor.
Another self limiting person.
I have told him that he is a GOOD doctor and therefore should be seeing far more patients,
and not just the exact number that covers his monthly expenses, with nothing left over for savings.
Uncanny how that quota works.

I have known about the secret for decades before The Secret came out.
One just has to get rid of those feelings of shame which are circling in the New Age scene about money.

There are infinite trillions out there, and that money would be better off
in the hands of good, generous people than wasted on selfish hoarders.

If you can set higher financial goals in your mind, and allow that abundance to come your way,
and not instantly plan to give it to others you might bring everything to another level.
Set a goal of a few million dollars and then you will see that the scope of your kindness will really have an impact.

I'm reaching out for help....again. I hate doing this. I have to be pretty desperate to ask for help...as so many of you all do, too. I just spoke with Mike about the Boss/job/our future. Honestly, he is in a place of despair. Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, everybody around here, including Mike, is not feeling well physically.

When making a choice these days, I find I am informed by the maxim: seek joy. What of the options available is going to make me (and Mrs A) the most happy and joyful?

How much do I want to hack reality to ensure the outcome I require?

If I can't live with any of the options, I will seek to change the game... hence "reality technician"... and I will add some options that were not there at first.

The problem is, that this is what works for me and her might not sound right for you.

(except I think it might)

I doubt for one second I could convince your other half with words alone, that all is well - but it is - and yet, that is not going to help right now is it?

The weight of the challenges bearing down, stifling, tempting feelings of helplessness, victim hood - WHY ME! - layer on layer of endless problems - especially when an initiative, a good one at that, gets knocked back in your face - its like the universe is mocking you.

An initiative that may well have sorted things out so neatly... its a double blow: disappointment at apparent failure, and compounded general doubts and uncertainties about the future.

Surprisingly this is what it takes to activate some people. The dark night of the soul.

So, how can we help?

As so often is the case one has to be very clear on what, exactly is it that one wants.

Do you want help with the despair, or the goal?

Is it possible to frame the current circumstances in the light of being for the highest and best good?

Perhaps there is a higher reason that you have not succeeded in this first grab at independence.

For example, perhaps it was far better to have a dream shattered now than have the problems of running a business in a failing economy - of for some other, as yet unseen reason?

That is exactly what happened to me when I had a similar moment.

Shattered dreams are as depressing as you let them be.

It's pretty natural to be upset for a bit, but like grief, unhealthy if prolonged.

Crying helps. Men have problems with that though. I dont. I cry like a baby and let all the pain run down my face.

Afterwards I may have to go and wrestle with a bear unarmed, to regain my false sense of manliness - LOL.

Perhaps it is time to make some new goals, and then see how they can be made manifest instead - in joy.

We are all being pushed very hard. Things are changing and we don't like it.

Yet there is a common ground between all of us that will see us through these problems, and that is the field in which we operate: love.

When I had problems with my business and before it was destroyed, I too faced a precipice of despair. Shrieking - hair pulling - why God why, why me?

All it took was for Mrs A to ensure me that no matter what, we were in this together, NO MATTER WHAT, she loved me and always would.

That was all I needed in the end.

No one can take that away from you.

Even if I were in the gutter, I would be happy to the last - knowing that she and I were in this together right the way there to the end of it all.

And in the end I did give in, and elect to let my company go.

I never really looked back - except to see that this was indeed a blessing in disguise, and yet more proof to me that there is always a reason, time and place for everything that happens.

Its a hard, hard, bastard of an experience to go through, but you'll get through it.

Love - that does not need testing. It is there and its unconditional.

What this is, is a test of faith.

It's a challenge from the universe, the gloves are down, who art thou?


Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

IMO some bits of the bible kick-ass, and that is one of them :)

Except as you know, its not that programmed God in heaven, its the God in us - testing himself.

Here and Now: watching a part of the local news where they are showing live
how a fifty year old old woman is being taken blindfold to the water's edge,
to see the ocean for the first time in her life.

She never expected the vastness, the sound of the waves.
It is such a pleasure to watch her express her delight and amazement at it all.
I was nine years old when Dad showed me the ocean for the first time...
I will never forget it.

[astrid]

yes..I'm tackling yet another round of my self limiting/ programmed beliefs around money as we speak

And I don't much post on this issue anymore as it tends to end up always in the same circular place/ debates.
The programming runs so deep that most can't see it, especially among the "spiritual"
folk.

For me, spirals are the way to go.

Thank you, Ulli, I am NOT offended. I am grateful for the reminder. My brother (another one) once told me that if he said to me that he liked a painting I had on the wall, I would take it down and give it to him no matter it's value or how I felt about it. I just would. Your sentiment resonates with me, that money (if it shall be the system) should be in the hands of those who will use it for the highest good. We are good money managers, if we weren't we couldn't be able to make what we have go so far lol. But, how can I hold on to a dollar if there is one with nothing next to me? Yes, internal struggle for sure.

Anchor, oh your thoughts...they are so good. Do you want to know what I told Mike? Actually, I continually tell him these things, no kidding. I love you no matter what. We will be okay no matter what. Today, in fact, I told him that just because we don't have a Retirement Plan as such right this minute does NOT mean one will not avail itself. We will be taken care of if we are on the right path. I know you (him) are in my future, and I am in yours (his)...and together we can tackle anything. For heaven's sake, we've been married for...19 years in a couple of weeks.

I tell him that he has inner strength, and it is there for the asking. I remind him to pray, as this is something he feels comfortable doing, and he feels better afterwards...hey, it works - do it. I tell him to tune into the spiritual, that he has Guardian Angels...or...I try to give him all the reminders I can of things that are important to him so that he may choose something that has worked for him before, all the while knowing I cannot choose for him.

What do I want, or what is it I would ask for - if I could ask for anything in the world? I would ask that Spirit be with Mike so that choice that will lead to the highest good avails itself, and that he makes that choice. Because if I know that is the choice made, there is NO doubt in my heart that All is Well.

When bipolar enters, when our own insecurities enter, when earthly concerns enter - money, school, that kind of stuff, we can only make the best decision based on those things. But when the highest good comes into the picture and the decision is made for that, I will be able to get up every morning thereafter and KNOW - without even a shadow of a doubt - that all those earthly concerns are/will be taken care of.

Mike is...well...on his path. And he thanks me for being there, but because of...I don't know why...part of his processing mechanism... I just don't want him to do anything stupid. (I may not mean that like it sounds?) UNLESS that is in the highest good.

So the whole things goes round and round, and truly if I know that I have asked, for the most loving reason, that he have a booster shot...that means that Spirit will find him and possibly help him to see clearly the choice for the highest good without allowing other things to bog up the process... Thank you, Anchor.

Much Love Village,

Mainly @ 1inmany but also to myself:
IMO, being ungrounded is lack of contact with our creaturehood, our natural body state of grace. Our bodies are made of the Earth, every last molecule, and will return to Her. Too much emotion, Water, intellectualizing, Air, or too spiritualizing, Fire, will lead to not being grounded. Feel the delight of a breeze or the warmth of the Sun. Keep it simple. Don't fly off into 'feelings' about it, or intellectualize the wonder of it. Don't even get into spiritual musings about meaning of it all. Just realize it is our inheritance, our natural state of creature grace on this planet. Let the peripheral nervous system tell you why Spirit took up a body. Eat a piece of real fruit with flavor and dripping with sweetness and juice. Sit on the ground or walk barefoot on the real Earth. Almost every problem we have is not one of where the body is, but where the mind and emotions are. Illnesses of the body are illnesses of poor thoughts, choices and emotions, both personal and societal.

When going to bed, remember your body is in a warm, safe and comfortable space. You are probably overfed. Life is very good, despite what the demons running through your mind or emotions inform otherwise. Body will stay behind when spirit departs. Is your heart beating, are you breathing? All is well from the grounded, perspective. We are born grounded and are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are. A very few psychopaths have taken full advantage of this distraction to create even more.

Grounding is about keeping it simple and being as quiet as possible inwardly.

I could not keep this to myself. My path does require me to share the goods. My life is very blessed and peaceful. The tiny corner of it that squawks a bit is all a part of me not handling something.........yet.

We all have our challenges.

Thank you for sharing this. I, too, wish you would post here more often. Alas, leaving your fans always wanting more lol.

After listening to what you were saying, I realized that I am drinking juice instead of soda, eating fresh fruit, eating salads til I fear turning into a rabbit...a radical change for me, and all because I was just eating what my body told me I wanted, what I crave. As that changes, I follow the body's lead. Being overfed or underfed is quite the possibility since balance is something I learn after changes happen.

I wonder if you can tell me more about this:

are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are.
because I am wondering whether spiritual growth doesn't cause one to become ungrounded as well. If this is the case, then it is not always being slowly pulled upward into that cacophony, but also towards more spiritual pursuits? I don't know, just wondering.

Much Love,

Spiritual growth IS the result of more groundedness...more attunement to nature and our own natural ways and means...the higher rhythms are an ebb and flow of cause and effect of our connection to the love of mother earth and thus ALL life around and above and beyond and Our Very Own : ) Every moment becomes more and more spiritually entwined.
Had to chime in 1InMany...Love,Love,Love!!!

Beautiful words here EagleSpirit. Namaste. To add my personal experience with Avalon is i have felt closely attached to Gaia and Nature after becoming a vegetarian. I believe this diet change has raised my awareness and vibrational frequencys tremendously thereby moving me closer with nature and everything that exists here and in this universe. To add further I have had some moments of Bliss when i felt directly attached with the consciousness of trees and plantlife if you will. As we raise our frequencys we can become more sensitive to nature.

Ya know, all your words have got me to thinking...especially about what I ask for when I say a booster shot. I really don't know what he needs, I'm not that kind of good lol. But I do know that, much like Reiki, if I come with a humble heart and ask this Village for help, whatever it is that he needs is what will be. The facts are that he has an illness that guides him into his own hell from time to time and that I must try to shield, or buffer, myself and children and grandchildren when that happens. I sometimes lack the strength, or maybe the confidence, to do that by myself. I've just started on this path, and I am constantly aware of how little I "know." And lately I have been feeling like the bubble I use for myself et al...feels like it's waning for some reason. I live by a "first do no harm" type of rule in life, and then I just follow my heart. Sometimes, Mike ...um... brings some external/internal influences that I feel ill-equipped to handle. So I ask for help. I don't know what kind of help comes, but I know it is sent from the heart because I can feel it sometimes. And that will provide whatever he needs or we need in order to make the choices he needs. I know that when we ALL begin to have the same type of symptoms it may be a cold, a virus, whatever...that the energy we receive will help us heal. Same goes with any other influences that are infringing on the process. I just don't know enough, and I'm not far enough along with things. I share my aha! moments, revelations and such, and while they are HUGE to me, I know they are just a bunch of drivel in the whole scheme of things.

Much Love,

Have bookmarked MW and Anchors posts. They both spoke to that part of me that I cant see, but feel. They filled my eyes with watery love. And I can touch that!

I have a dear friend who, many years ago, pointed out my poverty consciousness. There were many hard lessons during the de-programming. Am grateful for all.









Crying helps. Men have problems with that though. I dont. I cry like a baby and let all the pain run down my face.

Much Love,

I find your questioning somewhat circular to me, but I will endeavor to answer.

Spiritual growth does not cause one to become ungrounded, usually. Too much spirituality can. Spiritual growth will precede from healthy roots, (grounded) and grow upward. Feet on the ground and head in the clouds is what I call being "large". A giant, of sorts. The big view is yours, all while having your feet on solid ground. Lofty thoughts are grounded in the reality of your creaturehood. The DNA of the body is enhanced and new possibilities arise.

Spiritual pursuits can lead to extreme ungrounding if one leaves the ground. Some people believe in angels, yet are never on time and have trouble with appointments because their spiritual preoccupation makes them believe such earthly orderliness is the province of 3-Ders who do not commune with the angels, or fairies or other non-corporeal entities. The New Age is full of such sorts. There are New Age leaders who believe in JP Morgan more than of what they profess and charge for. There is a spiritual sucker born every minute and PT Barnum has inspired many who fill the upper echelons of the spiritual movements.

The bottom line is the understanding and balance of the Elements. It is the basis of all Alchemy. The personal being the most important because it is the doorway to the other pursuits. The cacophony is the result of disempowered and basically ignorant adults shaping the lens of infants and the young. Many people will go to their graves with the emotional understanding and traumas of a 9 year old. I know very few true adults. You run into more than the general population in places like PA. One candle is very bright in the darkness too.

Jesus said "Judge not, lest you be judged". Sounds very balanced to me. Only hypocrites fear honest judgement and his admonition was particularly directed at the many finger pointers of righteousness that surrounded him. He was cautioning them and not issuing a prohibition on discernment and forming an opinion from what is gleaned. Many use the "judgement" or "judgemental" phrase as a shield or barrier to hide behind when seen correctly.

Pardon the tangents. My thoughts tend to come in packages. LOL

Some wise words from my Vedic friend, especially timely i thought.

"Moon is besieged between mars and saturn in virgo which can be frustrating for the feelings.
time to step back and let things be, as the tendency to criticise may result. With all this in virgo it
would be a good time to take beech flower essence to develop tolerance and avoid reactive criticism.
Saturn is now stationary and inching forward back towards libra and more positive territory.
Mars is now aspecting saturn uranus and pluto and will form a t square with pluto and uranus the middle of july.
This is a very tense aspect best viewed from a distance.The tendency for mars to criticise religious dogma/fanatisicism
represented by pluto in saggitarius and also opposing the more radical imaginations of uranus in pisces will be prevalent.
Better for mars to focus on the work in hand and cultivate forebearance to others viewpoints .
This may be more easier said than done at this time,
but some detachment at this point will go a long way to easing tensions"

Rise to the Sun
All I believe in is a dream
I haunt the Earth though I am fully seen
In all my years I've never felt more sure than now
Well, I got to get off this rock somehow

I feel so homesick
Where's my home
Where I belong
Where I was born
I was taught to go
Where the wind would blow
And it blows away - away

Well, my eyes are full of stars
But I just can't reach 'em... oh, how high they are
I gotta believe what I'm thinking - ??
But in a modern world that can be so hard to do

I feel so homesick
Where's my home
Where I belong
Where I was born
I was taught to go
Where the wind would blow
And it blows away - away

I wake up
Rise to the sun
I go to work
And I come back home
I wake up
Rise to the sun
I go to work
And I come back home
Come back home

Good Morning,

mw, I'm sorry my further questions feel circular, but what you added makes perfect sense to me now and I think I understand better.

That explains it. I have glimpsed spiritual growth that does not put my head in the clouds, and then there are times when I'm "upgraded" and there is such an infusion of...I don't know what it is...and it is so fast that it can take days to settle back in.

Can music be grounding also? It is either grounding or it just plain makes me feel better to fiddle around on the piano or guitar or hubby's bass...or sing. Last night, I pulled a Risky Business while doing dishes, and I felt so much better afterwards. Felt more connected to the Here and Now, felt more settled somehow, and, of course, the dishes were done before I realized it....Win-win-win :biggrin:

I loved Modwiz post
When I feel an energy-low coming on I go to sacred texts to recharge.
That way I don't collapse in a heap on the floor, but remain standing upright,
feet on the earth and head well beyond the clouds looking through Hubble.

Sharing Bahai text again, as most of you are unfamiliar with it.
The island he is referring to here is on the river Tigris in Bagdad, to where he had been exiled by the Shah of Persia, before being condemned to life imprisonment in Palestine. This time the Shah of Persia and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire both agreed that only a permanent banishment would protect Islam.

"One day of days We repaired unto Our Green Island. Upon Our arrival,
We beheld its streams flowing, and its trees luxuriant, and the sunlight playing in their midst.
Turning Our face to the right, We beheld what the pen is powerless to describe;
nor can it set forth that which the eye of the Lord of Mankind witnessed
in that most sanctified, that most sublime, that blest, and most exalted Spot.
Turning, then, to the left We gazed on one of the Beauties of the Most Sublime Paradise,
standing on a pillar of light, and calling aloud saying:
'O inmates of earth and heaven! Behold ye My beauty, and My radiance, and My revelation, and My effulgence.
By God, the True One! I am Trustworthiness and the revelation thereof, and the beauty thereof.
I will recompense whosoever will cleave unto Me, and recognize My rank and station, and hold fast unto My hem.
I am the most great ornament of the people of Baha, and the vesture of glory unto all who are in the kingdom of creation.
I am the supreme instrument for the prosperity of the world, and the horizon of assurance unto all beings.'
Thus have We sent down for thee that which will draw men nigh unto the Lord of creation."
("Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas", p. 122)

Hi 1inMany,

Catching up over the last day or so's posts, found yours and wanted to say, my heartfelt love to you and Mike, sending strength and love for you both to take as you want and need it.

About what you said about Mike and Bipolar... please let Mike know that if he ever wants a natter about it I'll bore him to pieces explaining my denial and refusal to take meds for it too ;-)


Love, peace, happiness, and much success to you both.

John



I'm reaching out for help....again. I hate doing this. I have to be pretty desperate to ask for help...as so many of you all do, too. I just spoke with Mike about the Boss/job/our future. Honestly, he is in a place of despair. Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, everybody around here, including Mike, is not feeling well physically.

Apparently, the letter of intent - or offer to buy Boss' company - has not been well received. We knew this might happen, but I think in the back of Mike's mind he was hoping this would be the option that materialized. If this option materialized, according to Mike, he/we would be able to retire at some point. The Build-It (building a new company from scratch) would not afford any retirement options, and taking the Indiana job would not either. We used to have a nest egg, but it is now exhausted...taking care of people...as is the right and really only use for money if you ask me. But, I understand his fear that he will be "working for the man" for the rest of his years, and that 30 or 40 years of work will be "for nothing."

This thinking is disturbing to someone who has faith that everything will be okay and that we will be taken care of. The life we have shared has shown that "taken care of" may mean that we sleep in the car. Of course, I guess that is in the realm of possibility, but not probable. He has not ever chosen medication to treat his bipolar disorder, mostly because he denies having it. However, every family member - siblings, children, you name it - has been diagnosed. I mention this because when I say despair, I really do mean despair and I say so sheepishly but in all seriousness.

At this point, he wants to take a job with the Indiana company, and forget building anything. I support him wholeheartedly, but I do not think our separate living arrangement would change :( So, this makes things a little more complicated even as it gets him away from his Boss the quickest (which is his desire).

Anyone who has a little to share, would you send a booster our way?

You know I appreciate it very much.

Much Love,

[ulli]

And here is the passage where Baha'u'llah revealed that the Lord of this age wants to abolish clergy.

"Be thou of the people of hell-fire, but be not a hypocrite.
Be thou an unbeliever, but be not a plotter.
Make thy home in taverns, but tread not the path of the mischief-maker.
Fear thou God, but not the priest.
Give to the executioner thy head, but not thy heart.
Let thine abode be under the stone, but seek not the shelter of the cleric.

Thus doth the Holy Reed intone its melodies, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its song,
so that He may infuse life eternal into the mortal frames of men,
impart to the temples of dust the essence of the Holy Spirit and the heavenly Light,
and draw the transient world, through the potency of a single word, unto the Everlasting Kingdom."

(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian)

This post is not addressing you, Astrid, but just expressing my thoughts about photoshop and it's various applications

Creating myth or mythical creatures with the idea of inspiring everyone
and thus prompting them to search for proof of such in the worlds beyond ordinary perception
is something quite wonderful.

Very distinct from deception, which has the aim to confuse and misdirect.

Thanks for bringing this "owl" to our attention, Astrid,
especially at this time where the current Pluto Uranus square has opened inter-dimensional flood gates
which allow a whole host of deceivers to rush into our 3d existence and mess with people's minds.

[ulli]

Mwa ha ha, Too late Astrid, it exists in my reality now ;)

The give-away is that the green feathers on the belly become yellow halfway through, and instead of seeing each feather distinctly there are many blurs.
I would say flush it out, Pickle, or you are left with no space in your reality for the true gems you might find.

[astrid]

Yes well .. In shamanism we come across mythical animals all
the time . So no big deal . I don't feel so much like I have been
fooled but more that I have a new friend to play with

This post is not addressing Astrid, either, but rather the Vedic astrologer quoted here.
I know he is talking about the constellations here, as they were over two thousand years ago.

Trying to resurrect astrology to a place where it can get a proper foothold,
after having been bashed for the last two hundred years with the label of pseudo science
becomes so much harder when these ancient practices are blended into the mix.

Anyone beginning to learn astrology would go:
Hey! This cannot be!

Uranus in Pisces? Pluto in Sagittarius?
When we just learnt that it was Pluto's entrance into Capricorn in 2008
which caused the huge decline into poverty and loss of houses.
Saturn in Virgo?
Besieged?
When they are still 27 degrees apart?

In my view the least thing astrologers all over the world can do in order to get better at interpretations
is to agree on a single system with regards to where signs begin and end.

Most people know by now that Sagittarius is associated with religion, philosophy and higher leaning,
yet Capricorn rules the financial and material world.

So how is a beginner then to reconcile what happened in September of 2008 when Pluto according to Vedic astrology was still in Sagittarius?

Furthermore, Vedic astrology never even knew about Uranus, Neptune nor Pluto.

It is true, however, that there will be a T-square formed by Mars, Uranus and Pluto coming up in July.
Very, very tricky period, indeed, and far more volatile than December 2012.
I suggest that the Villagers form a circle and hold hands then.

July has quite a few 'strong' happenings, regarding astrology.

http://www.astroprofile.com/2012sky.htm

An astrological chart for the days of the coming year(s)(or historical) is called an 'ephemeris'. This link is an 'Event ephemeris', not a "daily planetary position/degree of zodiac listing", which a traditional astrological ephemeris is.
If you are curious about one of the given alignments in the listing, try doing a search for it.

example, let's say I'm curious about..oh...(looking at the event listing from the link)..Mars Trine Jupiter, on july 17th, 2012. what does that mean?

well, I'll try google searching that term, and clicking in a NEAR random fashion:

"Mars Trine Jupiter, on july 17th, 2012"..and see what I get.

It is very much suggested to read many interpretations, as opposed to just one, as the astrologer is a filter as well, and their interpretation are unique,and should not be taken personally, except in the general sense, which is obviously..not personal.

Thus, read at least three interpretations for the same given planetary alignment, simply in order to get a good feel for the direction of the flow. For it will never be specific, it will only be specific for you, and you alone.

Not what I was looking for, but interesting nonetheless.

A bit different, as it should be. I'm looking for parameters, commonalities, limits(borders), not specifics.

http://zodiacbrat.com/astroevents.php?s=8&np=3
Simple and direct, nicely generalized.

http://darkstarastrology.com/leo-july-horoscope/
this one is done more as a flowing thing..and the aspect/alignment searched for..is in the middle of that. (note that the link is for birth sign LEO,and one should go to their sun sign-listed at the top of the page.....and even that will be very generalized and liable to not be entirely correct.)

http://www.claytentylor.com/transits/mars_transits.html
This one is mars transits, throughout the given year.

http://www.truthstar.com/astrology/Major-Astrology-Events-in-July-2012.aspx
This one is nice, it gives a 'general' effect consideration that works for everyone, in the 'general sense'.

And so on, Ad infinitum......

Anyone attempting to study this chart should be informed that trines and sextiles open new possibilities in a harmonious way, inconjunct means small bursts of either positive or negative events, with can trigger people to sudden genius flashes as well as anger outbursts, dependent on which planets are involved.
Oppositions and squares, as well as semi-squares (45 degree angles, not shown here)
bring tests, difficulties, stress (inner and outer), plunges into despair, and even violent behavior.
they require that one keeps a grip on one's reactiveness, so as not to add fuel to the fire.
While the trines and sextiles offer opportunities, which require a certain level of alertness, so as not to be missed.

The post I was alluding to posting, several posts prior ... ;)

Choices, Decisions and the Domestication of Man

I'll try to keep this short, so fill in the blanks where needed ... This is the very short version. It is loosely based on Toltec Wisdom, a bunch of my own musings, and a technique I learned somewhere -- Bill Ryan would likely recognize it ;)

How to domesticate a wild animal? Generally, there are only two principles at work here. Punishment and reward. With consistency and authority, you punish undesired behaviour and reward desired behaviour. The forms of punishment and reward vastly vary to different degree of effects, but the process is always the same. This process is one of programming fear into a consciousness - it is that simple. The subject begins to fear the punishment, but also, it begins to fear a lack of reward - this part of the process is hidden to many - it goes quickly from, "joy of reward" to "fear of not getting the reward"; or just "Fear" if we simplify it.

How to domesticate a human? Have kids. That is all you need to do. "Fear Programming" has been so effective on humans that we are now self domesticating. It is culturally encoded into all our systems - every single culture on Earth is encoded with this self domesticating process; the only difference between "Cult" and "Culture" is scale. We are taught that this is "civility", yet, if you make the right distinctions, you can see there is nothing really civil about this process, and that it is merely a form of control so effective that we do it to ourselves as a species without questioning it.

Think about all the decisions you make in a day .. "Should I buy this? no, it costs too much ..."<Fear of lack>; "I haven't talked to my Mom all month, I better call her or she'll be upset"<Fear of others thoughts>; "If I had that fancy car I bet I could get that hot chick to go on a date .."<Fear of lack of self worth>; Almost every decision made has a hidden fear behind it. We have been programmed to re-act this way in every instance of our lives.

So what is the alternative? How to break from this vicious cycle? The ONLY way is to center yourself in the present moment and make all your life choices from a center of love. Perfect! How do we do that?

I'm going to try to show you a very effective technique to nullify the fear from all your choices ...

First I need to make clear another distinction: Choices and Decisions -- they are not the same thing. Let us entertain these definitions:


Choice: To select after a consideration.

Decision: To select based on a consideration.


Now, ]Paper? or Plastic? Make a Choice between those two ... go on - using the distinctions above Make a CHOICE. Now why did you choose that one? Do you have your reason as to why? Now look at your reason, by the definitions above, -- did you make a Choice? or a Decision? I'm willing to bet you made a decision. What was your selection based on? The consideration driven by your reason - thus you made a decision.

Try again, Paper? or Plastic? Make a CHOICE this time. Ok? Got it? What was your reason for that choice? Wait a sec - did you base that choice on your reason? That's a decision then -- not a choice.

Keep trying ... ;) It can't be that hard, I gave both very clear definitions of a choice and decision ...

By now some of you will have gotten what I was after - some still not. Humans are programmed with "Reasons" -- this is our own self administered "pleasant" version punishment and reward system. Reasons become the self sustained "more comfortable" construct as an alias of the punishment and reward system in humans, and it is so effective some find it "frightening" to try to make a choice without a "reason" to back it up!

However freedom is found in the absence of reasons.

If you can make a proper choice without a need to apply any justification or reasoning to it, you have made that choice from love in the Present Moment (or insanity, or extreme drunkenness ;-). If you find yourself having "Reasons" and making "Decisions" as opposed to choices, then you are living in your past and keeping that past energized into dragging you back as opposed to the Present Moment, which where you really want to be.

If there are any who have not "gotten" it, or if I was not clear enough - "choices" are not made with any reasons, but they may be made after reasoning, in the present moment, from a state of love. Therefore, if you present any "reason" for basing your selection when asked -- your mind was not in the present moment when you made the selection, but rather the priority was on the "reason" - a past based illusionary construct.

The people who rule this world control with these programs of reason - the punishment and reward systems are already in place and they just need to give you new "reasons" for you to believe in to satisfy your fears. We do all the hard work up front by programming our children, then schools do some programming, TV, friends, religions even, it all uses this exact, yet rather simple system. The great thing is that it is easy to escape the programming by making CHOICES instead of DECISIONS. Just keep this distinction ;)

Ready? Set! CHOOSE!

In my mind the only real valid reason for almost anything should be this (and it is not even a real "reason" ;)): "Because I am loving ... <fill in the blank>" ;) My 2 cents ;)

Like your post, really.
Hugs.

...and please, do not be distracted.

Thanks for sharing those links, Carmody.
This is what I do, too.
Especially in difficult cases.
Just like any good doctor consults with colleagues,
and any patient should go for a second opinion.
True medicine is an art, and true astrology is an art,
and one should never, ever think one knows it all.
there is always more to see.

After reading several books, or several websites,
one begins to see a blending into a higher truth, that is universal,
and beyond wishful thinking.

And while doing so one becomes aware of one's true independence,
not quite as compulsive of getting quick pet answers by which to
navigate through life.

It is true, however, that there will be a T-square formed by Mars, Uranus and Pluto coming up in July.
Very, very tricky period, indeed, and far more volatile than December 2012.
I suggest that the Villagers form a circle and hold hands then.

Like this?

I'm going to be on the road traveling during all of these aspects for about 3 weeks.

Will stay in contact and in touch with the Village as much as I possibly can.

There will be about 4 days early July that I will not have any cell phone or internet connects.

Will be thinking about everyone and keeping everyone in my heart.

Money saving tip:

Go to your local Dunkin’ Donuts shop and order a toasted multigrain bagel with cream cheese. Make sure Joe fills the order. You’ll get a ten day supply of napkins and enough cream cheese to last a week.

So, three trips a month is a net gain of a month’s supply of napkins and enough cream cheese for three weeks worth of spread for your raisin toast.

Here’s some reading material while you munch: What’s Wrong With A Dunkin’ Donuts Bagel? (http://ideas.time.com/2012/03/28/whats-wrong-with-a-dunkin-donuts-bagel/)

I felt helpless to share any financial ah-ah tips to 1inMany. But, I dug into my own treasure chest of experiences that I use to keep me going.

I moved out the day before my 18th birthday with a brown paper bag filled with my clothes and a couple of books. I hitch hiked to the next state over. Within a couple of weeks, I became the sole tenant of my sister’s apartment. It was enough time to find a job working third shift in a rubber mill. I registered for my last year of high school and settled into a brand new life.

No car, no license meant a lot of running home from school to catch some sleep before my 3rd shift job. Zip home for a shower and zip off to school. A couple of months into the job, I got laid off. I swallowed my pride and asked my Mom if I could borrow $100, and I’d pay her back $10 a week as soon as I found another job.

The employment agency sent me to a textile mill for an interview. As soon as the boss found out that I was still in high school, he said no. I told him that if given the chance I’d work for free for two weeks to show him how hard a worker I was. That Friday, I got my first paycheck of $54.

$54 dollars - $30 weekly rent - $10 Mom’s loan = $14 net for groceries and lunch money, and laundry mat, and the occasional “Drake's: Frosted Peanut Butter Creme Funny Bones”.

I was a millionaire.

Over time, I managed to save $100 and went to the dentist down the street. Dr. Lupien was his name. Mrs. Lupien, his wife, was the kind receptionist. I explained to her that I saved up $100 dollars, and would like to make an appointment for $100 worth of work. It was the first time I had gas, and I was there for at least several hours. As an 18 year old, I had no idea of cost. But I knew they, along with others, were some mighty Angels, I’ve met along the way. I am grateful for All.

I am a millionaire.

What I was back then, I didn’t have the words or awareness. I was just someone that on some level knew life worked in the direction one sets for herself. No question. No doubt. It’s been great to share this because it serves as a reminder for me. Thank you.

That is the true wealth to have, WCBD, that inner wealth.
I've known a few millionaires who are always crying poor, or feeling poor.

Prince Charles has his natal Saturn in the second house, so he would be one of them.
When Princess Diana was killed I grabbed one of those books about her life, that were around at the time.
One of Prince Charles' friends confirmed what I had seen in his chart:
They were all driving out of London one day to go to the country, with Charles at the wheel of his Range Rover,
when he said:
Bloody traffic!! So friend says: Why don't you get a helicopter?
Says Charles, are you crazy? thats far too expensive.
says friend: Are you forgetting that you are Prince Charles?

Actually, come to think of it...that showed quite a bit of modesty on his part, and endearing, in a way.

I see those times as character building bumps. Opportunities turned inside out. When seen from another perspective, solutions flow. Empowerment grows. Then the bumps are fewer and fewer, until they've disappeared. Upgraded tools for one's treasure chest.

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.

I'm a Rodriguez ("ez" is equal to" son" in english.... Rodrigez=Son of Rodrigo / Hudson, Johnson, Harrison, ...)

There are so many things I do not understand, that I do not care for one more. I'll be learning step by step.
For example, 1inmany seems to go "very up and up" (forbidden the word "down"); Nora driving her Aston Martin for 3 days; Modwiz making concerts at the Omega Cafe; Eaglespirit has landed (ya era hora, coño!, siempre volando); Ulli, Boat Captain; Carmody listening again "Comfortably Numb"; PurpleLama saying "my moustache is also purple"; Bill Ryan "I have a cat and he walks with no boots"

image of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way universe, stretching in an immense band across the skies and giving us just the tiniest glimpse of the vastness of our universe around us.

The image was taken by astrophotographer Luc Perrot on the French island of Réunion, to the East of Madagascar, who reports that he waited two years to get the perfect light conditions.

But it was worth it.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/06/26/article-0-13CC1715000005DC-187_964x526.jpg

The image was taken earlier this month at the Piton de l'Eau on Reunion Island.

In the foreground, surrounded by bushes and trees, lies a water-filled volcanic crater serenely reflecting starlight.

A careful inspection near the image center will locate Piton des Neiges, the highest peak on the island, situated several kilometers away.

In the background, high above the lake, shines the light of hundreds of stars, most of which are within 100 light years, right in our stellar neighborhood.

Far in the distance, arching majestically overhead, is the central band of our home Milky Way Galaxy, shining by the light of millions of stars each located typically thousands of light years away.

A gift for you: Cherries!!!!!!!!!!!!! And, for any of you lovely souls that might be allergic to cherries, I offer other yummies :)

Help yourself. Apparently magic is all over the place in the Village. You'll see. Take as many as you like, and the offering never gets smaller. Try it.

You wanna know why I offer these? Because I love you.

And, well, because let me tell you something. If any ONE single person visits the Village and needs help but does not ask, you stop it this instant! There is magic here. True magic. Real magic.

Today, Boss has decided he will take the offer.

Now, I do not get my hopes up, as, you know, things change from moment to moment because of Boss' own path. But, what I believe with every part of my being is that this 180 degree turn did not happen all by itself. So, if this is the best choice, it will materialize into reality. If not, that's okay too. I just know that when free of other influences, what is supposed to happen...will happen.

And this Village ROCKS!

:rockon:

p.s. Ulli, how did you get my spiritual journey into a graph? (hahahaha) That's really magic!

Modwiz, that is one of your best. posts. ever.

Well Dan of the 33rd, that video on Hollywood brainwashing was absolutely fascinating... I was hooked and watched it to the end. There wasn't anything new per se, but it really drove the point home, how pervasive the brainwashing is, and how it is the youngest generation having grown up with this stuff and never known a world based on a connection to nature, that is most affected. I never realized, that pedophilia destroys creativity. But of course it does. A decade or so ago, I did a lot of research on the history of abortion and birth control. In the time of Jesus, birth control consisted pretty much of two methods:
1) Put the baby out in the wilderness. Either a wild animal will eat it, or someone will come along and rescue it.
2) Put the baby by the pole in the center square. This is where the temples came to pick up the babies and turn them into prostitutes for the temple.
Despite these methods of birth control at the time, Jesus never said a word or laid a burden on the parents that their children were to become pedophile victims or eaten.
He did speak of wolves in the church. Myself, I believe the "orphanages" that came later, after the various religions died, and no longer picked up babies from the square, were also built by religious organizations, that continued up to the present day, their pedophile practices. It is not as if the "church" suddenly out of the blue, became a pedophile institution. They have been all along. For centuries. They merely took over the name and mythos of Christianity. And some say that after sex, the children and babies are eaten. Wolves in sheep's clothing indeed.

1inMany, awesome awesome awesome!!! My husband is manic depressive too. It has been a hard road for me, to learn to let go, to learn to be supportive despite all evidence to the contrary, to trust that despite living with the radiation of despair, all is well (and it is). I"m so glad for Mike, and the Village will intend the transfer of corporate ownership to completion. :becky:

Pickle, please share your journey!

Ulli, you're a braver woman than I am lol! I never know what to do with bullies because it is usually inner cowardice driving the bully programming, and who wants to stomp on fear ... I loved your gentle akido response.

We have TWO quail families living in the garden below. One is a family of tiny chicks, and the other is a family of TINY TINY fluff balls lol. The mothers spread themselves out with wings loose in the sunny dirt, and the fathers take a high position to guard and watch. The parents call back and forth, "Is all well?" "All is well ... "

Might have to go out and replenish the larder, if I want a decent cup of coffee in the morning ... ew it is 5:30 PM already lol!

Eres un cachondo!
Eres un Chingón! ( dedicated to Chinaski)

Bless you :)


hey Dan,

soy chingon: the history behind that is this: one day i was checking the spanish translation here out of boredom, and my name was the only name changed, and it was changed to 'Chingy'. i mentioned it here somewhere and Modwiz then gave me literally dozens of possible meanings, one of which was 'soy chingon', which, roughly translated to english is, i believe: 'i'm the man'...or something to that effect. is the interpretation correct?

btw, i wasn't being presumptuous when i said Spain was going to beat Germany -- i was being stupid! ha! somehow i thought Spain *was* playing Germany. oops. Portugal is playing better than i've ever seen them play lately, but Spain is just too technically and tactically superior. i expect a wide open game though, 2-1 to Spain.

question: Spain with or without Torres?

cool video. i always liked Laudrup. and Romario. i'm a Maradona guy, and Romario always reminded me of him with his close control and low center of gravity.

this is Diego in his glory years, warming up for Napoli, probably flying off cocaine;), but still somehow brilliant on the pitch. the accompanying song is great, i've always felt...

I posted this on the COBRA-Uranus square Pluto thread
and thought I might share it here as well.
It is about souls.


I think that souls and energy are closely related.
And this energy is like a commodity...there is only so much available here on earth.

And even though it cannot be destroyed, it can be housed, in us, in our 3D vehicles.

And during our short lives here on this world it can be transferred from one person to another,
depending one's thought and actions.

The creator stays out of the way, letting the system have it's way, due to free will.

But the moment someone has a change of heart, or an awakening,
many helpers will come to their assistance,
With the soulless trying to drag them back to their own ranks...
using all kinds of deception and lures.

Anyway, I'm not saying this because I was indoctrinated, but because I have seen it's workings.

Meanwhile I'm hoping the next few weeks won't be as bad as my fears would have me believe.
We will just brace ourselves and trust the Creator's ability to supervise everything according to the higher plans.
Which are for the best, in my view.
All is well.

I have a question for all of you Astrologers...I'm Cancer (um, duh), and my birthday is in a few days (ugh)... I'm getting a little concerned with all the talk of astrological changes and movement in the next few weeks because my birthday falls in the midst of this stuff. So my question is, am I in for double trouble...do the planet movements during your birth sign effect you more strongly that movements during other times of the year?

Love and Hugs today,

Ulli, what are your thoughts as we go into the next few weeks ... about how to help the changes, if there's anything we can do ... maybe just hold fast to what we hope to see in the world, have the highest and best intention we are able to. I don't know, I'm stumbling for words.

Or, as you say, just brace ourselves and trust?

Sierra, thank you for your post. Your perspective and wisdom expands vistas for me.

It was a beautiful walk tonight, very breezy from hurricane winds that came overland to the north. Lots of chirping insects and a couple of low flying bats that I could see silhouetted against the bright sky with a nearly-half moon shining bright.

This is what I'm listening to.

I have quit doing astrology and speculating for world affairs. It is just too complicated for my little brain.
Beyond my comprehension.
Trying to keep the inner ducks in a row, no matter what happens.
If it's earth quakes, we'll fix the house in case of damage.
Our construction workers might be glad for the extra work.
I do prayers, they work. Every time. Never mind what one's beliefs,
as long as they are in a higher and benevolent power and not finite creatures.

Mending the Sacred Hoop of Life

It is a good time to be alive

Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking."

Earth Prayer

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.
"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.



The Sunset


Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...
But anywhere is the center of the world.



A long time ago my father told me what his father had told him, that there was once a Lakota holy man, called "Drinks Water", who dreamed what was to be... He dreamed that the four-leggeds were going back to the Earth, and that a strange race would weave a web all around the Lakotas. He said, "You shall live in square gray houses, in a barren land..." Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. (1932)

Mending the Sacred Hoop of Life

It is a good time to be alive

Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking."
Earth Prayer

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.
"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.



The Sunset


Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...
But anywhere is the center of the world.



A long time ago my father told me what his father had told him, that there was once a Lakota holy man, called "Drinks Water", who dreamed what was to be... He dreamed that the four-leggeds were going back to the Earth, and that a strange race would weave a web all around the Lakotas. He said, "You shall live in square gray houses, in a barren land..." Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. (1932)

The indigenous peoples will become cherished again, there is no doubt in my mind.
There is even a Bahai prophecy that states that they will become the leaders of mankind.
If society falls apart we may well have to rely on their survival knowledge.

[astrid]

On train to visit the city for a few hours
Loving the chance to sit still for a while
This morning was frantic but at least this
whole moving business is over in a few days
Truck on Friday to get my fridge and mattresses
two days of cleaning and weeding and then
the fun part setting up new spaces .

Part of my town was closed off earlier as there is a tv series
being filmed there I googled up on it and the whole show
is being shot here over a couple of months .
I wonder if they need any extras , could be fun

Had a dream...We are connecting and interlocking in oneness of telepathic light surges that are creating a circuitry so strong and impenetrable that we are empowering all of like-minded-selfless-love to create a flow of wave-like-web-like energy that is spiraling to the upper echelons reaching a source that is helping the enchantment on Mother Earth reach out and within wherever there is need in the moment in the now.
Each of us simply sends and receives the transmissions where and when and how needed...group therapy is taking on a whole new light.

http://truthfall.com/baltic-anomaly-far-stranger-than-any-ufo-discovery/

This story is getting more and more interesting

17132

"From the different reports and interviews given we have amassed the following details of the anomaly.

Completely circular plate-like exterior.
180 metres in circumference.
Object is 200ft accross mushroom shaped comprising a thick pillar rising 8 metres out of the seabed with a 4 metre thick dome on top (like a mushroom shape) – rising a total of 12 metres (approx 40 feet) high above the surrounding seabed.
Cavities-like corridors inside the object.
Straight and smooth walls in certain areas with many right angles.
There are visible formations on top of the object, which are set at a 90 degree angle and look like passageways or walls, as well as something that looks like it could be a staircase.
Stone circles, like “fireplaces”, of hard black “almost petrified” burnt looking stone each a few inches in diameter, like 4 or 5 pearls in a necklace in various arrangements on top of the dome.
Spherical object nicknamed “The Meringue” (pictured below) is 4 metres wide and sits on top of the object.

Twenty-five centimetre hole on top of the object, it’s not known yet where it leads or what if anything is inside.
Long runway or “skid marks” leading to object point north

The latest revelations of right angles, walls with absolutely smooth surfaces and cavities-like corridors inside the object are if possible, far stranger than any UFO could ever hope to be. In fact a UFO find would now seem positively mundane...... "

New expedition planned in approx 2 weeks

Back in the summer of 1986, through power naps and contemplation and watching pictures come across my mind, a story wrote itself. It was before I had a quality computer, so I backed up my material on to a tape recorder.

I submitted the finished product to several places. Letters that came back explaining that it didn’t fit the sci-fi genre. While waiting for the “next rejection”, I discovered an old bookstore. Books ‘talk’ to me. This one particular one, on the top shelf said, “Pick me, pick me.” I was dumbfounded, because it was about two different expeditions that came up with the same conclusion. I don’t recall the title but it was something like “The Hollow Earth”. Their accounts had been woven into my writings, where ships were sucked into this vortex at the poles. Tall people took care of the shipwrecked castaways and sent them back, with only a vague recollection and a pack (sp?) that no one was to speak of it.

I write this because the book was about how one society was driven below the Earth to live out their days. They had radiation poison and were deformed. This class didn’t have access to the medications. Unbeknownst to the “elite” above, this society thrived and used materials from their environment and healed everyone. Their intuitive powers where just a part of who they had evolved into. This race was thousands of years old and many lived to be 700-800 years. By the twentieth century, their mission was to come to the surface and assist individuals who exhibited love, kindness, generosity, etc. The goal was to prepare them to help others that were awakening. Too, the ancient society were preparing to come up in larger numbers to integrate above. The ending was that those with evolving energies joined with the ancient society in their world because too many were not ready to let go of the anger and fighting and class divisions.

Do parts sound familiar today? I’d be the first to admit that by today’s standards, it’s elementary. Back then, at least for someone like me who only read philosophy books, it was an interesting journey. I rationalized that I was influenced by films and books such as, “The Lost Horizon”, “Shangri-La”, “The Kin of Ata are Waiting for You.” But there were details that were different from this material. A couple of years ago, I came across, “The Hollow Earth,” by Dianne Robbins. That book has some similar information. It served to confirm what my gut and experiences told me some 24 years earlier. On some level, I seem to recall this even when I was young.

I've experienced some fun things. I have no need to prove them to anyone. I believe that everyone has the same ability if they only step out of their own way. Toss out the labels. Open to the possibility. It will show itself. Even more so now with this new energy that’s unlocking the strands of DNA. Opening up the charkas. Or however you perceive it. Spend time and energy on what’s within or ultimately not within. Just jump. That’s what we’re here for IMO.

Some may think I'm an Airy-fairy, New Age-y, Pollyanna, BUT I know my next stop. It's a place where all are ageless, total health, loving communities, manifesting whatever is needed, surrounded by beauty and air filled with fragrances, thought communications with all life, etc. If you can dream it, it’s there where I am and many others.

It’s Mother Earth and Her Children.

Very good, WCBD. There are so many important theories confirmed here.
About deprivation leading to innovation, for one.
I had never heard of the Hollow Earth theory before 1979, when I attended a conference held by the London University,
where they had psychologists meet with astrologers for mutual challenging, as well as discussing and comparing
(Gee just now I'm realizing how very special that event really was...attended by Professor Hans Eysenck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Eysenck) and Michel Gauquelin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Gauquelin). Within weeks of that event I also had met Dr.Courtenay-Mayers,
who guided my self-discovery with the help of the Gurdjieff work. He had been the doctor during Gurdjieff's last weeks in Paris before passing away in 1949.

My point is this:
What I didn't see at the time, but do now. Hindsight is such fun.
The Gurdjieff work represented the inner world of the individual, and the Hollow Earth people I met represented the next level up, of the same principle:
namely: YES, there IS an inner world.
As above, so below. And it is no coincidence that both showed up on the screen of my life in the same time period.
I know this is very obscure, but I know some of the Villagers know what I'm saying.

A year later I moved to the tiny island of Barbados, taking dozens of books, to study and practice both Gurdjieff and astrology, all by myself,
free from interferences from the outside world.
It was easy for me as I have a liking for statistics, which I compiled in my head as i went along and grew in experience.

Then the next giant step: Applying the keyword that had come to me back in 1977, in my first awakening:
BOTH. Whatever one contemplates, if it has an opposite, it must be integrated at all cost, as it is always BOTH.
BOTH BOTH BOTH
Inner AND outer.
High AND low
Black AND white
BOTH ends of the stick have their place, or, as Gurdjieff used to say, "every stick has two ends".

In this Hollow Earth there are no words for such things as ugly or beauty. Opposites are transcended. As above, so below, Mother Earth is a circle with no ends, no opposites. I feel most are there. It's just parts of us are waking still.

Sometimes I get impatient. I settle down when Eagle Spirit shares his inner knowing. My stomach jumps, my heart pounds. It's outward confirmation of my inner knowing. Thank you, Eagle Spirit. :wave:

Why would you want such a misleading statement to stay up?

I am reading this as take a vacation, you deserve it and have a wonderful time. Hope you are still able to post but if you don't as much we will understand you are with family in a beautiful place.

Thanks. Actually, the question about your intention only came up after your refusal to respect that wish which I had expressed. Now I will explain where I was coming from. This is a fast-moving thread with many regulars.
My concern was the fall-out I might have to deal with due to the misunderstanding caused by your announcement.
Another clarification
Although most people associate Barbados with vacation time I don't do the touristy thing that much.
Nor am I staying with my family, as their house is too small. No guest room.
I have my own apartment there, and spend most of the day alone. The Internet and particularly the Village make it possible...
Without that I might not even go.

I got to talking to a lady today, who eventually started swinging the conversation around to the Bible. The usual yellow alert went off in my head like "okee dokee, time to start wrapping this one up", and then she hit me with a curve ball from out in left field somewhere. She looks at me in all sincerity and asks: "Have you ever thought about if God might be an alien?"

Well yellow alert quickly turned into "now THIS is getting interesting".

That is interesting Fred. I was staying with my Aunt who is 78 for a few days recently and she is a devote Pentecostal. We were talking religion and I went off on Ancient Aliens and the references to the bible. She was sitting across the room and move closer so she could hear better. It was like she was saying I am not quit of sure, I don't really know so tell me more kind of thing. I think in this day and time, more and more are questioning so many things. It's is about time! :)

That's interesting as well benevolentcrow, as people are usually well entrenched in their ways by 78, especially Pentecostals. This lady was definately a Bible person, but we were talking about similar things, just a slightly different language. We talked about things ranging from the 6th sense, to the Annunaki. Hell, she didn't even bat an eye when I laid on her that I suspect the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was actually the "good guy"!(LOL)

It does make me wonder if "the stars are all lined up" so to speak, so that the aether is just bursting at the seams with long dormant, but awakening truth, making people not so fast to just laugh it off. If this is indeed the case, we're in for one hell of a ride!

[Fred Steeves]

Come to think of it, yesterday I was visiting a friend who I only see maybe a couple times a year, we used to work together way back when. The most we usually discuss is politics and such, and he's never seemed a spiritual type person. Very smart and common sense like, just never spiritual type stuff. Suddenly he starts emphatically describing to me how vital it is that we learn to stop living our lives in fear, no matter what!

Then it's on to how he's starting to think that life might just be an illusion, and there's much more to it than this. That was a fun conversation as well, and he hasn't been reading any books or anything. But he does likes to observe the world around him, and contemplate it.

I e-mailed him Zeitgeist the movie when I got home. He's never really come across this kind of information before, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks.

Mending the Sacred Hoop of Life

It is a good time to be alive

Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking."
Earth Prayer

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.
"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.



The Sunset


Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...
But anywhere is the center of the world.



A long time ago my father told me what his father had told him, that there was once a Lakota holy man, called "Drinks Water", who dreamed what was to be... He dreamed that the four-leggeds were going back to the Earth, and that a strange race would weave a web all around the Lakotas. He said, "You shall live in square gray houses, in a barren land..." Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. (1932)

The indigenous peoples will become cherished again, there is no doubt in my mind.
There is even a Bahai prophecy that states that they will become the leaders of mankind.
If society falls apart we may well have to rely on their survival knowledge.

Paradox is the Point of Power
“... paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things....”

“It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen as those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

“But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically...”

“...But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?”

“...it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.”

“What we think of as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“


“Bashar: 2012 - Many Earths Conundrum - We Individually Choose”
(from thread: “BASHAR 2012: Many Earths Conundrum We Individually Choose (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?45466-BASHAR-2012-Many-Earths-Conundrum-We-Individually-choose&p=511504#)”

"Paradox is the Point of Power (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKv8Zw2uqO0&feature=player_embedded)"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKv8Zw2uqO0&feature=player_embedded

- Barnet Bain - @ 41 seconds - Paradox, a holding of two or more separate frequency of ideas and/or actions simultaneously without reduction of attention access ? from either task.
- Barnet Bain continued - @ 1:08 - What else is paradox? Paradox is also has a mystical function. Paradox is also a channel of communication from aspects of the self beyond logic and reason from an ultra creative self. And I am quite confident that you have a considerable amount of insight into this that you’d like to share.

- Darryl Anka - Bashar talks about paradox all the time. In fact, he calls paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things. They have to be coming from you. And therefore, positions you squarely at the center, squarely at the balance point. Which is your point of power.

- Freeman Michaels - @ 2:15 - That was so good and you did it in one sentence.... So the dimensional perspective as being empowering because in my life I was very attached to an either/or paradigm. What you are suggesting is both/and, it’s multitude of different ways to be look at and all be held simultaneously.

- Darryl Anka - Yes, Bashar says, “It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen that those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

- Freeman Michaels - And they’re just possibilities.
- Darryl Anka - And they’re just choices.
- Barnet Bain - They are choices. It’s a frequency game. They are choices, that are disparate ? choices apparently when we experience them as such. But when we begin to play that energy game, when we begin to become “frequency alchemists”, we begin to mix these they become not confused but co-fused. And they lift to a higher harmony and complexities.
- Barnet Bain continued - @3:40 - We talked about beauty as being a frequency. Or they are really harmonic frequencies. Beauty. Think exhilaration plus serenity, experienced simultaneously is Beauty.
- Barnet Bain continued - As we increasingly expand consciousness, as we become more and more attuned to the resonance of paradox. So what are we waiting for? What do you think might be in store if we begin to cultivate paradox consciously with intention? All new capacities.

- Darryl Anka - We’ll become conscious creators instead of unconscious ones. We start to realize that within every question and answer is there. And as Bashars says all we have to do is take that little bent question mark and straighten it out into an exclamation point. So when we realize that we wouldn’t even be able to ask the question if something in our consciousness didn’t understand the answer already. The question would never occur to us if the answer wasn’t already there. We become more clear. We become more transparent. We become more of who we were actually created to be.

- Freeman Michaels - And we stop waiting for something outside of us to happen. This incessant fixation on the collective. How everyone has to change.
- Barnet Bain - We begin to become players. Conscious players. It is a very, very different game when we begin to generate reality not out of a reaction to causes, but out of generating causes and then waiting to see the effects. Or, or generating effects rather and waiting to see the causes. It’s no longer a cause that leads to an effect reality. It’s an effect reality that leads to causes.

- Darryl Anka - Or everything is viewed simultaneously.
- Barnet Bain - Yes, everything is viewed simultaneously, but as a leading edge of our reality creation. The virgin frontier of exploration is not at the level of impact causation of pushing around the furniture. It is at the level of generating something mystically, wonderfully, co-creatively, magically and our hand in it is this blending of frequencies. Which can only happen when we’ve looked within and dealt sufficiently, not perfectly with all the matrixes of all the limiting belief systems.

- Darryl Anka - Yeah, it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.

- Freeman Michaels - So I have a perspective on this. Did you pick up the gallon of milk for your wife? The part about this that’s so interesting because we referred to the reservation that the physical reality, the way that we are playing out this incredible metaphysical perception that we are talking about that on one hand and on the other hand we’ve got to pick up the milk on the way home. And we have to navigate this whole incredible.. Oh, how do we describe this incredible cosmic play?
- Barnet Bain - We live in the world but not of it has been said by ...

- Darryl Anka - But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically and you live in the moment with that, as Bashar often says, “It’s not that you have to have a memory in the way we think we do. It’s that simply...you know...what you need to know...when you need to know it. You have instantaneously to information and data when you need it. It’s not something that you have to RE-member.

- Freeman Michaels - And there’s this element of choice with this perspective. When something arrives in this physical reality there’s instead on one way of defining it, good or bad, or two ways, I should say. There’s infinite. And the element of consciousness allows us to choose from a much larger ...

- Darryl Anka - One of my favorite sayings that Bashar has is that, “If there is only one way, there would be only one person. Look around.”

- Freeman Michaels - And the element that you started with, the idea of meaning. Do I want to make this meaning? For what meaning do I want to apply.
- Barnet Bain - We alway make it meaningful. Are we lit enough and patient enough to look below the surfaces of the things, to discern the meaning that we are giving it and then to decide whether and if they are in alignment with our choices.

- Darryl Anka - But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?

- Freeman Michaels - ... (programed story) ...What happens to it, energetically, it’s gone.

- Darryl Anka - @9:50 - Bashar recently did a seminar on the ideas on how story structure is embedded in our consciousness. And it’s really about the idea of what story we are telling ourselves. And do we want to tell ourselves a different story? And that will change everything.
- Barnet Bain - Say more.

- Darryl Anka - Well, the idea a long time when you deal with story structure a people have thought that well there are archetypes in story structure. Bashar is saying like when you talk about a particular movie or any kind of a book or story, there are archetypes. Or a love story. There are archetypes within it. Bashar is saying the story structure... itself... is an archetype. And when you tell a story that resonates, and hits all the right cords, that archetypal structure... that’s when the information sticks. That’s WHY when we tell stories, we remember the information. It’s following archetypical structure that’s built into our consciousness. And when you hit those points, you can’t possibly forget it cuz it hits all the right cords. So tell yourself the story that hits all those points, in exactly the right way, in exactly the right vibration... for you... and that’s who you actually are. And that’s your true story, your true frequency.

- Freeman Michaels - Let’s talk for a minute about parallel realities.
- Darryl Anka - I love parallel realities.
- Freeman Michaels - Yeah, so as I relate to something differently, I quite literally am in a different experience. Or something of that nature. Is that how you would describe parallel realities?

- Darryl Anka - Yes, although, I’ll go further with it. Bashar has talked a lot about parallel realities lately. And one of the things he’s actually said is, whether we know it or not we are actually shifting through literally billions of parallel realities... per second. In fact that’s what time is. The illusion, the side effect we call time, is our consciousness shifting billions of times a second from static parallel reality to static parallel reality. That creates the illusion of movement and of time. And so if you understand that you are shifting billions of times a second, you’re always at a zero point. You can always redefine yourself. It’s a sequence of parallel realities that we are calling a parallel reality. So it’s a direction of parallel realities. But they all exist at the same time. You can choose any path through them and if you know that you can do that every single moment, then whatever you define yourself to be at that moment, is the sequence of parallel realities that you set up for yourself.

- Barnet Bain - And then we create a context for ourselves, per where we are developmentally. We contexualize it in a story. So the present, the past and the future, we streams these beads of experience in a straight line like pearls in a necklace and we call that our story, our past, our present, our future.
- Barnet Bain continued - Many, many years ago, now, Bashar said something to me that was like tossing a grenade into my consciousness. He said a lot of years ago, the present in NOT the result of the past. That was a seismic piece of information. And it’s very germane to what we are talking about right now. It is also, that the present is not...it is more of the result of the futures that we are choosing for ourselves, set against the back drop of the stories we tell ourselves about the past. Now generally, we been going around married to these stories, and dragging our conditions self, conditioned by our experiences that we call the past. Throwing that into the future, and creating these vibrations of self-fulfilling prophecy. The present is NOT the result of the past.

- Darryl Anka - Yes. Every moment is unique. Every moment is new. Every moment is zero.

- Barnet Bain - And parallel realities, multi-D realities, and future realities there is only NOW. Their all...it’s a frequency game.

- Darryl Anka - Yeah. As Barshar says, “What we think as think as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“

Oh yeah WF! The very first time I saw this Bill Hicks routine I immediately liked it, but didn't really understand it. Now I understand it to boot! How bout THEM apples?:thumb:

I'm also with you on the if you hurt someone else, you hurt yourself thing. I wasn't going to go there in the OP for the sake of simplicity, but yes of course, cliche and second hand as it has become, we are all truly One. Not coincidentally, this goes hand in hand with All Is Well.

[WhiteFeather]

I posted this on the COBRA-Uranus square Pluto thread
and thought I might share it here as well.
It is about souls.


I think that souls and energy are closely related.
And this energy is like a commodity...there is only so much available here on earth.

And even though it cannot be destroyed, it can be housed, in us, in our 3D vehicles.

And during our short lives here on this world it can be transferred from one person to another,
depending one's thought and actions.

The creator stays out of the way, letting the system have it's way, due to free will.

But the moment someone has a change of heart, or an awakening,
many helpers will come to their assistance,
With the soulless trying to drag them back to their own ranks...
using all kinds of deception and lures.

Anyway, I'm not saying this because I was indoctrinated, but because I have seen it's workings.

Meanwhile I'm hoping the next few weeks won't be as bad as my fears would have me believe.
We will just brace ourselves and trust the Creator's ability to supervise everything according to the higher plans.
Which are for the best, in my view.
All is well.

I have a strong feeling there is 'new' light around the corner next month of which we have never before experienced here on Mother Earth...it will add a dimension of twist in the now and tweak Us into 'uncharted' Higher Changes : )

Feeling intense energies, spiraling higher and higher into...circles of light...reminded me of this song by Walela.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5QkfkTJIqc


I'm not right
you're not wrong
We both know what this love
of ours is build upon
We are shadows
tiny sparrows
safe inside
clear blue sky
of another storm
moving in and out of time
In and out of the circle of light.

We are children of the angels
Keepers of the fire
We are children of the angels
Reaching for the light
We are not strangers
we are all brothers
I know we came here to love each other
Here, in the circle of light.

Each one thinks he
has the answer
Each one believes that he can see
the way, the only way
truth lies waiting
was always waiting
like a love
peaceful dove
right there inside your soul
from another place and time
Moving into the circle of light.

I have a request for help. The first one is help with detoxing my body of mercury and other things that are in a Tdap shot. I was told it is close to the tetanus shot. So for this I had my Dad's horse statue fall on me tonight and received a puncture wound from it. I don't know any naturalpathic remedy's for Tetanus off the top of my head so I went and got the shot and if it contained mercury, I would deal with that using detox (which it does). I am asking for healing and/or advice on detox.

I wasn't horsing around with the statue, we were actually moving it from the house out to the driveway and with the statue being about 12-15 feet tall as a rearing horse constructed with rusted metal it was a bit top heavy and it fell over. My advice for everyone is if a horse statue is falling nearby, don't try to save it, just let it fall gracefully to the ground.

The second request for help is for helping me clear out my old patterns relating to me thinking I'm not good enough as well as rejection. With the payoff being looking for sympathy and testing to see if either or both are still there. As I write this post, I am trying to stay in a balanced place and I'm not looking for sympathy. Sometime I just feel like I need a boost and for whatever reason I don't feel like I have enough energy to get myself through it. I recently have been thinking of asking a woman out and when I started to think heavily on the process itself, it raised all my old patterns. I have a much greater awareness of them, just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. My request for help is advice and/or healing.

By the way, this is difficult for me asking for help as I've wanted to delete this post about 4 times now in the process of writing it. I thank my defense mechanisms/old patterns for being there, I honor you and I ask for you to choose a different path.

Side note: As I write this, I am grateful for awareness as I see my patterns going off all over the place. Frustrated/annoyed to an extent and yet grateful for the awareness. I know I am shifting, though sometimes I just want it all now, ie goal at the end of the journey, rather than, oh look its actually the journey itself.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate you. Be well.

Saw anothr UFO today. Looked like a plane in the sky.

A few problems.

1)no sound

2) too close for it's size, or too big if far away (tied to point #1, far too large to be silent)

3)moving too slow to stay in the sky.

4)no windows

5)shape was odd

You most likely received a Boostrix shot, according to my husband, who is a GP.
Here is the website,which shows the composition:
http://www.gsk.ca/english/docs-pdf/Boostrix_PM_20091021_EN.pdf
Aluminum adjuvant (as aluminum hydroxide and aluminum phosphate), sodium chloride and water for injection.

The other possibility would have been Tetavax.
http://drug.fda.moph.go.th/zone_search/files/TETAVAX_1C%2017_51.pdf
QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE COMPOSITION
The active ingredient is tetanus toxoid (≥ 40 I.U. / 0.5 ml) adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide dihydrate (0.6 mg of aluminium).

He said that Mercury was used long time ago, but is no longer now.

Asking for help is the first step. I know it is hard. I guess it took me months, too. Don't worry, the effect will become evident really soon. Like opening a tap of miracle water.
Each time another Villager comes online and reads your post you will feel another boost.
Your confidence will return. I'm sure this is something all the others here can testify to as well.
Wishing you a swift recovery.

Growth comes from finding balance..from within imbalance.

Can't say I care for the imbalance myself, nor do I know anyone who does.

It's like eating cardboard (my comment), it tastes like crap, feels gross...and it's rather painfully dry. :)

I am trying to stay in a balanced place and I'm not looking for sympathy.

Sympathy.... none on offer... deal ?

Your post is excellent.

Here are my random contributions.

Don't even give the shot you got a second thought - just "know" its made safe.

(Nothing I did, BTW, I reckon that was already covered before I read anything)

Second, as for the patterns thing - this is so cool and so typical of now.

You feel conflicted for asking for help, but here is why I think that it is ok: you are taking action anyway before asking for help.

That way there is actually something to help with.

Whatever I can do, it will be done.

Finally, my guess is that you are not learning anything at the moment in regards to all this - you are remembering what you already knew

Reirrac,

There's definitely something to explore there.

Ulli, is your cat eating again?

[Marianne]

Reirrac, sending you loving thoughts, and I put you on the Reiki grid. You're in good hands with good advice and guidance from those who've posted, and I'll bet some who haven't.

Eaglespirit, as I recall, the Wampanoag tribe are native to the New England region? Are they the ones that lived in 'long houses' made of wood? People think of native Americans as living in teepees, but that was only the plains tribes, since they didn't have much wood to build with, they devised the teepee. Clever people. It's comforting to know we are preserving these traditions.

Jeanette, yah for the sun! Here in the southern US, we are in for over 100F today. Early for it to be this warm.

Both cats are eating us out of house and home. Or maybe it's time to modernize that phrase....

Cat not eating is a very rare event around here.

Reirrac, asking for help was a real hurdle for me also.
but once i got over that one, it was like the waters parted.

To give and to receive equally seriously increases your energy
flow through and around you. That and learning to forgive can and does shift
mountains.

As for the request, consider it done.
It is my wish that any thing detrimental to your total whole body health, is
removed and transmuted. Then anything you might need for your best and highest good,
to increase and boost your own healing is then added, and sealed in.

And so it is done.

I have a serious case of the gardening bug. No vaccine for that one. Six rows were not enough, now I've begun planting in mounds all over the yard.

Edit to add: twenty-five mounds, so far, with many, many more to come.

Saw anothr UFO today. Looked like a plane in the sky.

A few problems.

1)no sound

2) too close for it's size, or too big if far away (tied to point #1, far too large to be silent)

3)moving too slow to stay in the sky.

4)no windows

5)shape was odd

In the past two consecutive nights here in NY. I observed a very high moving craft to what appeared to be a star. To high up for a plane. And Moving too fast for a satellite. My son observed it as well. He thought i was crazy when i called him to come out of the house and view this anomoly. " Dad that was weird".

Perhaps i could have manifested and or called these objects into my reality. I often feel i could do this at times.......... Scouts Honor

'Mindful' Meditation Tied to Healthy Brain Changes: Study
Differences seen in white matter with 'integrated body-mind training'

Just a few hours of meditation training may change your brain for the better, a small, new study suggests.

Researchers using imaging technology have found that people develop measurable changes in the white matter of the brain after learning "mindfulness meditation." Also called "integrative body-mind training," it involves periods of intense focus and concentration.

"The notable physical changes suggest that short-term meditation can improve self-control, mood, stress response and immunity response," said Michael Posner, a co-author of the study and a professor emeritus at the University of Oregon, in Eugene.

The study was published online June 11 in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

The researchers randomly assigned 68 undergraduates at Dalian University of Technology, in China, to either a meditation or a relaxation-training group. None of the students had any previous training in meditation.

The authors say their earlier research showed that learning can alter white matter, which affects how the brain learns, acting as a relay system and coordinating among different brain regions.

In the latest study, the researchers set out to measure the degree of alteration, focusing on areas of the brain that they felt were most likely to change from the training the participants received.

The authors used what is called "diffusion tensor imaging," a noninvasive MRI-based technology to delineate white-matter fibers in the brains of participants. They also applied other technology to measure the structural plasticity -- the ability to change and adapt as a result of experience -- of the brain's white matter.

Key areas of the brain were measured before and after the meditation training, which involved 30 minutes of either integrative body-mind training or relaxation training over a two-week period. The training totaled five hours for each group.

The researchers found evidence of measurable changes in white matter associated with a part of the brain network related to self-regulation -- the anterior cingulate cortex -- after short exposure to focused meditation. The same changes did not occur after relaxation-oriented meditation, which emphasizes sequential relaxation of different muscle groups.

The authors note that many problems, including addiction and mental disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder, involve the anterior cingulate cortex. They say that understanding the impact of learning, training and human development on white matter in the brain could lead to new ways to improve or prevent these mental disorders.

"This study builds on other work that has confirmed that you can demonstrate structural changes in the brain," said Dr. Nicholas Schiff, an associate professor of neurology and neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City.

"What's so impressive to me is that, in this study, they actually quantify that there's evidence for changes in the structure of the brain and a dynamic process at work," Schiff said. "It's very important to characterize how the adult brain modifies in response to the environment. This study is a substantial contribution."

I have a request for help. The first one is help with detoxing my body of mercury and other things that are in a Tdap shot. I was told it is close to the tetanus shot. So for this I had my Dad's horse statue fall on me tonight and received a puncture wound from it. I don't know any naturalpathic remedy's for Tetanus off the top of my head so I went and got the shot and if it contained mercury, I would deal with that using detox (which it does). I am asking for healing and/or advice on detox.

I wasn't horsing around with the statue, we were actually moving it from the house out to the driveway and with the statue being about 12-15 feet tall as a rearing horse constructed with rusted metal it was a bit top heavy and it fell over. My advice for everyone is if a horse statue is falling nearby, don't try to save it, just let it fall gracefully to the ground.

The second request for help is for helping me clear out my old patterns relating to me thinking I'm not good enough as well as rejection. With the payoff being looking for sympathy and testing to see if either or both are still there. As I write this post, I am trying to stay in a balanced place and I'm not looking for sympathy. Sometime I just feel like I need a boost and for whatever reason I don't feel like I have enough energy to get myself through it. I recently have been thinking of asking a woman out and when I started to think heavily on the process itself, it raised all my old patterns. I have a much greater awareness of them, just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. My request for help is advice and/or healing.

By the way, this is difficult for me asking for help as I've wanted to delete this post about 4 times now in the process of writing it. I thank my defense mechanisms/old patterns for being there, I honor you and I ask for you to choose a different path.

Side note: As I write this, I am grateful for awareness as I see my patterns going off all over the place. Frustrated/annoyed to an extent and yet grateful for the awareness. I know I am shifting, though sometimes I just want it all now, ie goal at the end of the journey, rather than, oh look its actually the journey itself.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate you. Be well.

Growth comes from finding balance..from within imbalance.

Can't say I care for the imbalance myself, nor do I know anyone who does.

It's like eating cardboard (my comment), it tastes like crap, feels gross...and it's rather painfully dry. :)

dimensionally speaking, one could say that we are dimensionally related and flowing (across or at boundaries) organized patterns of energy,and flow. We flow, in our self organized fashion, or surf energetics in dimensional boundaries and dimensional relation. Thus, we seek to remain organized and 'together' in a vibratory flow that is patterned AND disorganized. Basically to surf potential pattern and randomness with a parameter of a history of flowing as an accumulated knowledge base..to look into that flow future, at the same time we hold the organized state..and grow.

does this sound familiar?

I had a vivid dream just before waking up. I was in Barbados, in some resort type place and was picking up a sofa they had borrowed from me, some months earlier.
I was carrying this heavy metal- frame futon all by myself through an open air type of restaurant and pool area to take it to my mini moke, which is a small jeep without a roof. At that moment the manager stopped and asked me what I was doing, and I explained that this was not the hotel's sofa but my own and I was taking it back.
Just as I was getting to the car park and loading the sofa onto the jeep I discovered that my keys and cell phone were missing. Panic struck, mind racing, suddenly Freddy Mercury stops as he was walking by.
"Everything alright?" He asked. I said, "no Freddy, just at this moment I'm standing here discovering my keys and cell phone are missing."
So now Freddy pulls out some fancy million dollar gadget that only rich rock stars can afford, and starts scanning the whole place, and the gadget spits out a handful of images, all laminated in clear hard plastic. And I go, "wow, Freddy, what IS that thing?" and then he starts chatting, and I'm reminding him of how we used to chat like this in the old days when he was helping his sister in the Kensington Market, and I was working in the stall next to his, Ruskin, which belonged to a Scottish cobbler by the name of Ken Calder, and then chatted about what happened to the other neighbor who's name was Lloyd Johnson ( but in the dream I could only remember his first name, and got frustrated about my bad memory) who later opened a shop selling really cool 1950s second hand clothes from the US, in the Kings Road next to Virgin Records where we all bought our music back then. That area was called The World's End, and there was a pub there by that name, too.
So here we have a major clue what the dream might mean.
Anyway, as the conversation got deeper into our mutual memories of that period when Queen had not even yet released their first album and we were all struggling with survival in swinging London, we started arguing about Freddy's sister's blouses. I had a friend who was a designer and had a bigger stall downstairs and very talented, and a true original, and Freddy's sister used to copy her blouses, using cheaper materials and not as well made as hers....
amazing how this dream refreshed all sorts of details I had totally forgotten... Anyway, Freddy did not like the fact that I referred to his sister's blouses as patchwork blouses and started quarreling defensively. But they were, I said. He walked on and at that moment I found my keys and cellphone which were all along in my pockets. Later I saw him sitting by the pool on a sunbathing lounge with one of those debauched looking music business executives, deep into their conversation. Very strange dream. After waking up I suddenly remembered that one of my first posts on Avalon in February 2011 had a Queen YouTube on it. And moments after posting it I noticed someone else had posted a Queen song as well, but I had not been aware of it until I started reading the whole thread, which was about At!icus, I think.

[Carmody]

And my friend was telling me yesterday evening..that when he was in London for a few months, that he used to go to the pub and See Elton John. Very Energetic and amazing performer, he said.

[ulli]

...wow, and the last time I saw Freddy Mercury alive he was sitting at a table next to where I was having dinner in Elton"s own restaurant, which was in Wellington Street, Covent Garden, two doors from my own shop. He was having dinner with Elton, and wearing one of Lloyd's bomber jackets with a big tiger embroidered on the back. He introduced me to Elton then, but apart from a hello, how is it going, and small talk there was nothing more that I remember. Nor do I remember what Elton's place was called, but it had a yellow brick road running down the length of it, between the tables, a la Wizard Of Oz.

P.S. Gottit.....after searching through at least six google pages. Elton's restaurant was called Friends.

This is another clue, as to what is going on.
The past is dead, but it provides code language to signalize and help us to understand better what the present is about.
Thus the dream is not about famous people, but what they represent at an archetypal level.

As our group is forming an energy field which will possibly have an identifiable agenda, one which is to benefit all humanity, and not only an elite few, our dreams will become clearer and provide further guidance.

[ulli]

The dream is about Avalon, and taking the sofa out of the hotel represent my recent thoughts of leaving.
The hotel manager in the dream represents the mods here who I had an early run-in with, but got sorted out after my entitlement was clarified.
Freddy Mercury represents the chatting and reminiscing aspect that Avalon provides.
The gadgets represent all our communication devices, which I have improved since coming to Avalon.

The image of Freddy and his music biz friend lounging represents all the speculation and plotting that goes on here,
especially all the prediction, disinfo, Drake and DW stuff which I watch mostly from a distance and don't buy into,
but recently got a bit too close and got my tail burnt as those players are outside my league.
Finding my phone and keys is a sign that
ALL IS WELL

Good Morning,

I am thankful for the cool breeze on this warm morning. Thankful for the giggles and laughter that grace my home from time to time. Grateful for belly laughs that make my side hurt. I'm thankful for my respite from working outside the home, thankful for my dog who has no teeth. I'm thankful for the way the leaves blow in the wind, thankful for cherries. I'm thankful I am mostly out of the city, thankful for the trips back to remember the hum of the world. I'm thankful for this Village, for people who are open-hearted and open-minded. Grateful for the smell of freshly mowed grass and hay freshly cut. I'm thankful for Little One, thankful for the children I have given birth to who have taught me compassion. I could go on....and on...

I'm thankful.

Much Love,

[PurpleLama]

I was having one of those thankful moments too, while driving, just now, and stopping at the bank, I reloaded the page to see your post, One.

I had added this edit to an earlier post but will place it here so that it doesn't get overlooked:

Reirrac,

Yes, that whether_or_not_to_delete_or_post dithering sucks. It is safe here. I've only gotten blessings and joy from posting on the H&N thread, no matter where I am coming from, speaking of dark or light in my life, asking for help, reaching out to people (that is the hardest for me), writing about my past or latest misfortune, yelling gratitude to the skies... It doesn't seem to matter what I say, I am accepted.

So ... practice on us! Practice, practice, practice! This is what will lessen the fear. Your future girlfriend will be glad you did, nudge nudge, wink wink.

Glad you found us. :) Welcome to the Village.

Sierra :hug:

Currently listening to Julie Fowlis, who is singing in Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic). I love listening to music in other languages. Actually I just love listening to languages, the flow, the language itself is like music to me.

A reminder to self: I forget and get so caught up in the words/meanings of the only language that I know, English, that I miss out on the enjoyment of just listening.

I am doing great this morning. The doctor said it would feel like I got punched in the arm from the shot and there is little to no soreness. The doctor also said the puncture would scab over by morning and its still open, though bleeding very little, no sign of infection/irritation.

Currently eating some watermelon and grapes. The cat, (which my Dad named Happy and I still just call her cat half the time, the other half I call her being of unconditional of love and light, though that's kind of long, so I usually just stick with cat. She answers to any of them.) loudly requested that I turn on the rife faucet and let her drink. My Dad put in a water electronic filter a while ago that charges the water with particular rife frequencies. Whenever one of us is in the general vicinity of that faucet, the cat runs there and loudly pronounces she wants a drink. So I am enjoying a glass of rife water, knowing that it's cat approved.

Be well all.

Playdo,

OK, this has me wondering. In the middle east, there are many ancient underground sites (20 stories of halls, rooms, including churches, bars, restaurants, a tunnel leading to the next underground city over yonder etc. dug out of stone, 85 meters down etc.) and I am wondering if *this* is the reason people went underground, to escape the instability of the sun. Maybe the whole site was buried "on purpose"... and later collapsed to fill in the underground rooms.

Absolutely fascinating, thank you. It BLOWS my mind, the same symbol of CME, used across many ancient cultures, and many geographic locations around the world. I'm boggled.

I have a serious case of the gardening bug. No vaccine for that one. Six rows were not enough, now I've begun planting in mounds all over the yard.

Edit to add: twenty-five mounds, so far, with many, many more to come.

OMG! I want a picture!

Ok, here is the most recent photo of the garden in the back yard. I will get some pics of the front yard planting when it all starts to come up. I hope lotusblossom doesn't make me take this one down, since our resident nudist is featured in the background.

That's really cool PL,

There's nothing like preparing and eating the food that you grew in your own garden.
Unfortunately we live in a little village (250 souls) where the neighbours seem to do a contest who can keep the most cats. I believe our closest neighbour has 14 now.
I consider myself open minded, but I refuse to eat food that has been fertilised with cat litter.

We tried it the first year when we moved here 3,5 year ago, but had to give it up and we don't have a solution yet. :ohwell:

Luckily we have a farm that is 500 meters away. They grow their food organic with even some attempts with perma-culture.
We can just come their and pick the food we want of their garden. Pretty nice!

Come to think of it.... they even have a bio mass energy plant (Hope that's how to say it in english).

Congeats PL ! Gardening has so many spiritual pluses
Once the bug has taken the bite your life is simply
transformed in many small and large ways
Fantastic also for kids ... I used to have my own
plot as a child . My gardening club where I get all
my organic and heirloom seeds from has a starter
kit just for kids . Some seeds you can sow direct
other things are better started in seed trays
And mulching the beds cuts down on watering adds
more nitrogen and keeps the soil from drying out

I'm itching to move in fully to new place now to get my
new garden established Tonight is my last sleep here and
it feels very surreal

Will look forward to garden update pics from you

Blessings

Things seem to be heating up again in the alternative community.

Folks are getting their knickers in a bunch again.

This is another one of those big ones though. We'll see what happens I guess in 48 hours.

Me, just wondering where people are getting the energy to continue to be so contentious these days. It's just not in me anymore. With just everyday living, I have enough energy. To share information, I have enough. To love those who love me and share some more with the world in general, is enough.

Everybody has their paths though I suppose. For those who give, there must be those who take. Taking energy by engaging in conflict is one of the oldest ways their is.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=17144&d=1340910234

I think there should be classes or something offered that teach people how to seal off their energy so people can't just dip in and take a bite every now and again or whenever they want to. There is an alternative:

This used to happen to me all the time. Less now, as I'm not as obsessive in my research as I used to be.
I used to think there was this invisible hand guiding me from website to website, and page to page.

Funny how that works, as another bob would say.
Even though I will never take these processes for granted, I now let them be and move on.

But my questions are different now...like, I might ask myself or spirit
"Do you want me to do something about this?"

Maybe we are expected to not only keep our inner equilibrium, using meditation, or prayer,
or whatever, but also we are here to keep the planet from tipping over, maintaining it's balance.
I just don't believe that mankind will be erased from the face of the earth.
Lot's of mysteries. Anyone else think we should preserve heritage, or not interfere at all?

Hands in my lap, back pressed

Bowl filled with clear water

All that appears is only myself,
yet I am not this, not that.

Prayer flags flutter

One of my healers told me that dolphins live in the alpha state, iirc, all the time, which is the dreamstate. Also, if dolphins stay around humans too long, is stuck in a pool with no alone time, they shift to the human state of perception and become sick.

Hi everyone.

A nasty tried to bugger my day, today. Haven't seen or heard or felt any for what seems like months now. Sort of forgot about them. I almost got hurt before I realized what was happening. Then I just laughed and told it to move along. But what I didn't understand is that "it" just moved along to the next person, perhaps an easier target. He got hurt bad. Fell off laddar and cut his wrist on the steel studding. Blood gushing. What I immediately thought was - that could have been me. Then I thought, I could have stopped "it" from hurting one less aware if I had wanted to, if I had thought of it. But I was selfish, and only thought of myself.
I will now spread blessings intentionally at breaks and lunch time for everyone's protection.

hugs

The Mantra for the week:

"My soul is like a river returning to the sea,
sometimes crashing, sometimes falling, sometimes flowing free."

So yes, we can still crash or fall, but eventually
we end up in the big ocean where we belong.

I came across this phenomena synchronistically in two separate articles yesterday. The technical stuff is way over my head, but I can recognize the similarity between the images of the Squatter Man, and the image of the ELM:

Check out the petroglyphs of the Squatter Man, in relation to CME, in this Linda Moulton Howe article (scroll down midway): http://www.earthfiles.com/news.php?ID=1987&category=Science

And compare it to the image in this article regarding plasma and ELM's (whatever they are): http://nanopatentsandinnovations.blogspot.com/2012/06/plasma-fingers-point-to-taming-of-elm.html


This used to happen to me all the time. Less now, as I'm not as obsessive in my research as I used to be.
I used to think there was this invisible hand guiding me from website to website, and page to page.

Funny how that works, as another bob would say.
Even though I will never take these processes for granted, I now let them be and move on.

But my questions are different now...like, I might ask myself or spirit
"Do you want me to do something about this?"

Maybe we are expected to not only keep our inner equilibrium, using meditation, or prayer,
or whatever, but also we are here to keep the planet from tipping over, maintaining it's balance.
I just don't believe that mankind will be erased from the face of the earth.
Lot's of mysteries. Anyone else think we should preserve heritage, or not interfere at all?

Yea, it's the mysteries that intrigue me so. I do not think that man will exit stage left at all. I am just so intrigued by the mystery of what happened in the past 12,000 years. Really, what happened? And not only that but in the last 200,000 and the last 2 million years? Regardless of what exactly occurred isn't as important as the fact that humanity has been around for a long long long long long long long long time. I don't see our involvement with Gaia ending anytime soon.

Sierra, thanks for your comment. I am compiling some articles to post in order to link various studies and findings together. There is so much evidence out there, new research, everyday, beyond Graham Hancock, of humanity's past. The history books need to be discarded, and recreated in oral poetry, and that is how history should be taught in schools! Ha! Maybe one day.......

Sorry about that. Perhaps I'll sit and watch for a while ... ;)


Eres un cachondo!
Eres un Chingón! ( dedicated to Chinaski)

Bless you :)


hey Dan,

soy chingon: the history behind that is this: one day i was checking the spanish translation here out of boredom, and my name was the only name changed, and it was changed to 'Chingy'. i mentioned it here somewhere and Modwiz then gave me literally dozens of possible meanings, one of which was 'soy chingon', which, roughly translated to english is, i believe: 'i'm the man'...or something to that effect. is the interpretation correct?

btw, i wasn't being presumptuous when i said Spain was going to beat Germany -- i was being stupid! ha! somehow i thought Spain *was* playing Germany. oops. Portugal is playing better than i've ever seen them play lately, but Spain is just too technically and tactically superior. i expect a wide open game though, 2-1 to Spain.

question: Spain with or without Torres?

cool video. i always liked Laudrup. and Romario. i'm a Maradona guy, and Romario always reminded me of him with his close control and low center of gravity.

this is Diego in his glory years, warming up for Napoli, probably flying off cocaine;), but still somehow brilliant on the pitch. the accompanying song is great, i've always felt...

bbaa2oTazMU

Hi Chinaski,

Chingon is used in Mexico, so I believe. Similar translation would be "cool". In spanish would be "cachondo", "guay" (positive).... and "tocapelotas", "gilipollas" on the negative version.



About "the center of gravity low" i agree with you, "super craks" have it. The exception is Cruyff, he has or had "a high center of gravity". For me is the best of all.


d2O-34UNJlg

...so Go Chinaski!

PS: "The more you understand me, the crazier you get". Absolutely Agree. Cachondo!

Nice read. And great conclusion. maybe we should invite him to join the Here and Now Village.
I really liked this final sentence:

"Are you sinning at this moment? No?
Then perhaps you are a saint.
You will never rise to the potential God sees in you if you define yourself by your past.
Be here now, in this present moment, for here you are in the Presence of God.
And only here can you offer those around you what they most need."


Very cool.

I've been thinking much lately about contacting him. He recently removed all the previous posts from his blog - some of which was just incredible. I didn't get a chance to read it all ... should have made a copy! If I ever do get in contact - I'll point him here to this thread. He may not be interested in Avalon as a whole as he maintains distance from distractions where possible, but this thread doesn't seem to have that problem ;)

Spending the night in the city with Little One and Peanut.. I am so proud of the mommy my little girl has become. Seems she is softening and it makes my heart happy. Taking her for oral surgery in the morning, all 4 wisdom teeth and a front tooth...EEEK hoping it goes well and with as little pain and disruption as possible.

Looks like I will have quite a bit to catch up on, the village is humming. Wonderful :)

Its Okay.

Things seem to be heating up again in the alternative community.

Folks are getting their knickers in a bunch again.

This is another one of those big ones though. We'll see what happens I guess in 48 hours.

Me, just wondering where people are getting the energy to continue to be so contentious these days. It's just not in me anymore. With just everyday living, I have enough energy. To share information, I have enough. To love those who love me and share some more with the world in general, is enough.

Everybody has their paths though I suppose. For those who give, there must be those who take. Taking energy by engaging in conflict is one of the oldest ways their is.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=17144&d=1340910234

I think there should be classes or something offered that teach people how to seal off their energy so people can't just dip in and take a bite every now and again or whenever they want to. There is an alternative:

Ok I only lasted as far as part 3...the quality wasn't that great, and I found the Russian subtitles a bit irritating.

Yes, I found the subtitles to be a bit distracting also. James Redfield must be actively enforcing his copyright because you can't find that full movie anywhere for free lol

Soulful, haunting music, Carmody.

Had a very good energy session this evening with the Bioenergetic Holism group, did some serious work, clarifying some issues, clearing out some infiltration. Ending the eve with some clarity feels good. The dream-state should be busy tonight.

Here is a gem of a movie I love to share. Saw it first when I was about 5 years old. LOL made an impression. It has stood the test of time. For those who don't know it and haven't seen it, I'm glad to introduce you to, Fantastic Planet.

Hooray, we're at 800 pages! Thanks for noticing, Mad Hatter ... welcome to the village, stay awhile.

Good morning/afternoon/evening to everyone.

It's going to be 105F today (that's 40.5C!). Whew. I send cool vibes to the people who work outdoors in this heat. My son is one of them. He says the body gets used to it. He has an awesome tan and picks up good vibes from being out in nature all day. I'm thinking SHADE. Here on the mountain in summer it's usually 10 degrees cooler than the valley. It's higher up, plus all the trees cool it off.

A robot that can beat you at rock-paper-scissors ... where's the fun in that?
3nxjjztQKtY

I'm heading down to the valley for work. It's been a busy week, but I got it all done... now to spend the day prepping for next week. I have to find a way to blend my two worlds, where I work and they give me money and insurance, with my dream of making my living from my soap that's so good... or find a way to drop the work world. I run out of time, but am determined to keep carving out some time for my dream. It's not just me and a living, it's something more ... I don't know what it is yet, but it's what I have to do.

Love to all of you, all are beautiful ones.

Good morning.
No dreams of Villagers.
Instead I was in the far East, Hong Kong, or Singapoore,
and there was some confusion about finding the right address.
But the dream faded quickly from memory.
I wish I had a dream catcher.


So who wants post #16,000?
Only 16 more and we are there.
Welcome Mad Hatter.
Where is Viral Spiral? Maybe her parents are still visiting.
Astrid is moving today, BenevolentCrow too, Nora is traveling,
I'm getting ready for a trip myself...so lots of changes.

I found a dead bird in my garden this morning. I heard a very strange sound early this morning and never did work out what it was but the bird had a wound on its back, and a few of the local cats like to hang out in my garden, so I am guessing that a cat got him.

Ten more mounds this morning for twenty more okra plants, and a big circular mound for squash, all in the front yard. This is in addition to the ten mounds for corn and the five for eggplant and three for watermelon. I dig up the grass, make the mound, open it up and stick a tsp of azomite about six inches down in the center, then use the azomite to cover over the seed as I sow. I've given bags of azomite to several people (I bought 44lbs) and all but one have reported a huge benefit to otherwise failing plants, ect. It turns out the one who said it didn't work put the azomite around her plants, but never watered them. Here in south MS, it's usually 5 to 10 degrees warmer than where Junebug aka Marianne lives in north AL.

This morning's Bahai message:

Justice, is in this day, bewailing its plight, and Equity groaneth beneath the yoke of oppression.
The thick clouds of tyranny have darkened the face of the earth, and enveloped its peoples.
Through the movement of Our Pen of glory We have, at the bidding of the omnipotent Ordainer,
breathed a new life into every human frame, and instilled into every word a fresh potency.

All created things proclaim the evidences of this world-wide regeneration.
This is the most great, the most joyful tidings imparted by the Pen of this Wronged One to mankind.
Wherefore fear ye, O My well-beloved ones? Who is it that can dismay you?
A touch of moisture sufficeth to dissolve the hardened clay out of which this perverse generation is moulded.
The mere act of your gathering together is enough to scatter the forces of these vain and worthless people.

Anyway, lately I have started hearing the whole forum here sounding not unlike this, a synchronous harmony, whenever I begin to feel into the soul of the collective. Next I turn my attention to the whole planet, and it is also similar, though not as pronounced. If I go to the Here & Now thread, it is almost deafening, but in a blissful way I never felt before. I wonder if anyone else is picking up on this?

Do you know about three sisters? Planting corn, beans and squash together? It's a native American thing, they grow well together.

http://faq.gardenweb.com/faq/lists/teach/2003045238014436.im.gif

'Corn is the oldest sister. She stands tall in the center.

Squash is the next sister. She grows over the mound, protecting her sisters from weeds and shades the soil from the sun with her leaves, keeping it cool and moist.

Beans are the third sister. She climbs through squash and then up corn to bind all together as she reaches for the sun. Beans help keep the soil fertile by coverting the sun's energy into nitrogen filled nodules that grow on its roots. As beans grow they use the stored nitrogen as food.'

Here's a link:

I've always been one for self scrutiny, and shied away from triumphalism.
But there is something to be said for both. Leaders who instilled patriotism
in their people sure knew why they were doing it.

Self worth in a group adds to a sense of unity, which then becomes an energetic force.
This force in our case is not used for destruction, but on the contrary...

Someone has to show that power is not something that is exclusive to the PTB Cabal.

@ulli- funny, years of self scrutiny eventually led to great triumphalism.

@JB- I had heard the natives sowed lentil with corn, so all my corn got lentils right there with it, but the round mound I was putting squash in will now have all three sown together and I will report (eventually) on the difference. My twenty ocra went in the front but it was too dang hot to do anymore until evening. I got me some decent hoses at the hardware store this morning, which will lead to better watering with less waste. The house we bought was once a nursery for exotic shrubbery, so we moved in with a shed full of old gardening implements. The hoses we dug out of the bushes still worked well enough, until I had a blow out yesterday, but other than replacing those every tool I've used was here when we moved in. The universe knew exactly where we should be, no doubt about it!

I believe I've mentioned before that we've created a sort of bird sanctuary in our garden, and have attracted quite a few lovely avian friends, some of whom we've come to name. Moreover, now the squirrels have also joined in, and it's great to see both species happily munching within feet of each other without fear. There are a few feral cats in the neighborhood, so Amos has assumed the role of Protector, and will chase them away when they try to sneak up and snatch one of the birds. It's a matter of constant vigilance, which is not unlike the attitude of an aspirant in certain types of meditation.


When reality explodes in you, you may call it experience of God. Or, rather, it is God experiencing you. God knows you when you know yourself. Reality is not the result of a process; it is an explosion. It is definitely beyond the mind, but all you can do is to know your mind well. Not that the mind will help you, but by knowing your mind you may avoid your mind disabling you. You have to be very alert, or else your mind will play false with you. It is like watching a thief - not that you expect anything from a thief, but you do not want to be robbed. In the same way you give a lot of attention to the mind without expecting anything from it. ~Sri Nisargadatta

Speaking of Ishtar, I had another dream of the one I've identified with Inanna, last night. I'm not sure where all this is going, but it's finally become apparent that she is becoming younger with each progressive dream. This last dream, she was probably only thirteen or fourteen. I was living in the house with she and her parents, and it was clear to me that we were betrothed.
