"i'm lovin' it"

[ulli]

Greetings from Hamburg.

Yes it's been a rough week, work wise. Weekend to myself. Planning to find spot for contemplation and gratitude. The weather has been kind considering summer has been, for the majority, m.i.a.

The moon was GORGEOUS last night. Wished I knew how to post pics from phone-to-iPad.

WELCOME MITZVAH!!

To the lamp of love:  may it burn brightest in the darkest hours and never flicker in the winds of trial.  ~Author Unknown

Wish I was there with you now.
If you are not using iCloud the other alternative would be to email the picture to yourself, then open it in your iPads Email account and save it to photos.

Here and now, I am reflecting on my yesterday. I had to travel to north MS, City of Ashland, as referred to in the dream I wrote about previously in the Village this week. Traveling south between New Albany and Pontotoc on a road that I have never previously traveled, I saw a sign for an Indian Mound named Ingomar. Of course!, I detoured and went to see it. A short drive took me to the Ingomar Indian Mound! In the picture below, the mound is the mass of rising trees you see. It's about 30 feet high and has a large circumference, and dates back about 2,000 years. When I climbed to the top I was astonished to see, much to my delight, my favorite tree (along with the Catalpa and Magnolia - God I love them all!!!), growing en masse: there was a stand of many old bois d'arcs trees, or Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera). I sat and meditated with the winds of the tropical storm Isaac dancing through the tree boughs and the rain splattering down. I was immensely grateful and thankful to have that experience put in my path during my work day. Life is good, I thank the Creator for everything, and I have NO complaints!

Welcome to the Village Mitzvah!

Stuff like this used to happen on our farm, interrupting my flow.
Huge drama, getting those trapped animals out of there.

So there was a therapeutic moment for me when I saw this picture just now...
made me have my first larf of the day.

Good morning Villagers. FYI I typed in a couple of words that were used in a previous post in a search I was doing, and up popped my post on Project Avalon. I thought it a little unsettling that if you are privately associated with a couple of words publically there is that strong obvious connection. Not that it matters where I am concerned but it could for some. I guess you put yourself out there everyone time a post is made. Just makes you realize how strong words are.

On another note. I have had my grandsons for 4 days now. I have felt like they should be placed in a bubble to protect them from harm. I wanted no broken limbs or other injuries to happen to them. One is severely allergic to mosquito and spider bites. Epi pen close by for an emergency, thankful I did not have to use it. A fine line to be walked when to let them be kids and when to intervene in certain activities. Lorax, Chicken Little, movies were a safe choice for me. I was told by there mother not to let them go in the bushes or dig holes etc. I thought that was what they were suppose to do, must be that generation gap again. Oh well, their other set of grandparents get to take over today. Thankful nothing major happen on my watch!

Have a wonderful weekend, I can breath a sigh of relief!

last n ight i set up my brothers telescope and looked at the moon.

very funny to see what appear to be craters and leading out of them are what appear to be great run ways or roads and they also leave the crater is equelaterla intervals. one of which has 3 major road ways eqilaterally angled from the circle outward to make a triangle. its amazing how even a rock hitting the sufrface of a planet can spread debree in perfect angles and lines .... hmmm

i love this stuff , i was up till 3 am .. love it

September 1st, do you believe it? Where did the summer go...

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin, I had to google that. What a great Prayer! Thanks for learning me something Eaglespirit!

[dan33]

I'm sad.
Hugo in hospital again.We discovered yesterday that is anorexic (also have the Helicobacter in the stomach). He told us (he is my gilfriend's son, 12 years old) crying after discovering bags full of food in the cupboard .. Very shocking, indeed. Now he is becoming to gaining weight again. Very slowly.

Any ray of energy is welcome. Thanks!

[Marianne]

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin. Beautiful, indeed. Thanks Eaglespirit ... I have to put the whole prayer up.

The Prayer

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin....All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer....

To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.

To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.

To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.

To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.

To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.

To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.

To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.

You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.

Thank you for this Life.

Daniel, sending loving energy to Hugo. My niece had anorexia and was recovering from it the summer she came to stay with us. She made a full recovery, is happily married with two beautiful children now.
Blessings to all the family. All is well.

Hello to all my new friends! I feel as though I already know, and fondly so, many of you through my SweetHeart, 'Another Bob.' Thank you so much for such a warm and kind welcome to your village forum. I look happily forward to sharing with you, and learning with, and from, all of you, through all that this wonderfully mysterious and amazing world has to offer.

Would be worth to put in a thread about psychopaths...

Today I drove my teenager to her new (1 month, although at this age it is old) boyfriend's mother's place for a "épluchette de blé d'Inde" corn on the cob day or something like this in English.

She was veeeery happyyyy because she had not seen him all week, school activities stopping the possibilities for her to meet him (he lives a bit far, in fact across a bridge).

I am so happy to see her glowing like this. The 17 years old boy friend is a nice chap, he really has some aura coming out. Quiet, intelligent looking, bit funny somewhat handsome and still looking at her with sparkling - eyes. She says he is a geek, but she truly feel fine with him. I am wondering if some day I will dislike him cause he hurt my daughter... hum.

I am starting to feel older... and know that now I have to start taking care of myself a bit more, she will ge gone in a few years (hopefully five or more).

Love your cow picture and the teen pregnancy gene Ulli, the latter never really quit my mind these days - lol.

Welcome Mitzvah, it will be nice to see/read the "other side" of a poet's life. I am pretty sure you are quite an inspiration to him and will be to us.

<bursting out laughing> So many odd results in our universe heh Nanoo?


Dan: I'm so sorry to hear Hugh has trouble with anorexia and helicobacter. If he is slowly gaining weight, he is beating the anorexia, and slow gains are good, more permanent I somehow think. Slow and easy does it with anorexia. The symptoms of helicobacter do not sound pleasant. I kinda wonder if the anexoria was an attempt to deal with the helicobacter. Healing and love to Hugh.

EagleSpirit: The garage is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

ViralSpiral: So glad to see you! Rest and recuperate from your hard week ... <dragging VS over to the Village healing pool, getting a glass of wine, three candles, five kitties, and seven villagers to start the party>

<trotting after Meeradas and Marianne also back at work ... >

Rahkyt: SUCH beautiful children. I woke up and encouraged Noah three times :)

Ulli: Sending lines of peace and calm to the storm.

The Chips fire (the last I heard) is ninety percent contained (yay!). The air is clearer, the temperature dropped yesterday and today, and I think that helped.

My sister is coming over for dinner this evening. It is SO cool we are living in the same town. :) She literally only has to travel ten minutes, make three turns in total enroute, and she is home. No more traveling over Blood Alley (Highway 17 over the Santa Cruz mountains) to see each other.

The moon begins to travel back to where it can be seen from the deck. I was stunned at the moon set the other night, stars in a clear sky, dawn coming, blood red moon setting between the trees.

I am so grateful for EVERYTHING. I have no complaints. :)

I've been thinking about responding to this. Specifically, about how the magnification is related to the eye's capacity to see detail....and that detail is a combination of what both eyes see, not one.

Thus,it is critical to get a 'binocular head' for telescopes,as the apparent detail to the brain and eye combination seems to near double. this is because the eye sees by wandering about just a bit and the detail is constructed via information coming from both eyes, over time.

Thus, using both eyes, not just one, is critical. As well, when we use just one eye, that eye has to sort of transpose for both hemispheres of the mind/brain. There is a slight tendency for each eye to be cross wired for the opposing hemisphere of the brain. Slight, but it is there. Thus, the result, with regard to brain/eye processing of information.... as if you had double the resolution, if one uses a binocular head on a telescope.

[Carmody]

A bit frazzled right now, 12 major transits at once. Probably a few more, I'd have to look.... Kinda feel like Bill looks...

Carmody, that make sense. What do you think about sun gazing in terms of one eye and then the other? I ask this because when the sun is high and bright, I'm alternating them. Do you think it effects the 'brain/eye processing of information"?

Considering the formation of Leslie at the time we started this cloud battering excercise I must say I'm impressed.

And a lot of souls will be grateful to all us Villagers for our work in keeping life harmonious.
Although on the inner planes there are still enormous challenges,
and I need all the help I can get to keep my emotional kilter straight right now.
Wishing the same for all others who are still feeling and reeling from the recent full and blue moon.

Watched a show on beer last night in bits and pieces while cooking dinner. Some fascinating information!

The English made beer out of pond water scum in the Middle Ages. Following the same recipe today, using pond water scum, the beer is pure, clean and healthy.

Following a recipe for beer made by the ancient Egyptians, the beer was full of natural tetracycline (an antibiotic).

When water was so polluted in Europe that one could not drink it, every one drank beer, man, woman and child. Everyone drank approximately a liter a day, roughly six times the amount of beer we drink today.

(For LOTR fans ... ) the American pub where the founding fathers first gathered to discuss independence was named ... The Green Dragon!

Hello, 1inMany on this beautiful, cool morning from Paradise! I'm actually eating a White Nectarine pop right now. It would be lovely if we were sharing them together, watching the sun rise. These pops are ideal for those who have a weak appetite because they're so palatable, so tasty. The varities are endless. Bob's favorite is the fresh Cherry pop. My favorite is the Mango, followed closely by the Nectarine and Peach. Do you have a favorite flavor?

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood ... sloghtly overcast but the sun behind the clouds has that slightly portentous end-of-the-world glow that just made this morning's run that much more invigorating. Lying next to Jaedyn having just put him down for a nap as Sira makes us a nice brunch. No news yet regarding Noah but my parents talked to him and the girls yesterday and my mother said they sound good and are doing well. It's a bit funny, but after I asked fot the villages well wishes, the mext day the kids mother asked my mother for my phone #, intending to call me to let me know what is going on. Perhaps asking for the manifestation of the highest potentiality in this particular case was a more far-reaching requst than I thought.

Thank you fellow villagers. Love you each and every one, for your kind souls and giving hearts. And also for the non-member villagers in spirit who read this thread but havent joined avalon yet. Many blessings to One and All.

This sort of thing, which, to our impression, has become commonplace here..this does indeed show that us giving our intent to others..that doing so unknowingly, in ignorance..that such a living in ignorance is dangerous to the individual and group.

I hope you realise Paula you interupted my kitchen floor mopping. I thought I would play this while cleaning.......yet it was so good, I had to sit down to watch it.


I had 5 dogs. They died within about 2 years of each other, the last of them last summer. I had been thinking about them today. A friend of mine brought her new puppy around and she had been telling me today that I should get a dog.

Watching that video I was overcome with the most intense feeling of grief, the tears came and flowed very quickly and yet in the tears I felt blessed to be having the experience.

And then it was over like a brief summer storm which comes out of no where and leaves just as quickly.

Hi Jeanette,

That's a beautiful, healing story on so many levels, and metaphors as confirmation (not that you need them). I bet there was even a rainbow outside just for you.

Five dog in two years, that's a lot of loss. One of the things I admire about you is how you are able to see the good in what others would perceive as horrific: "yet in the tears I felt blessed to be having the experience. "

We're finally getting a nice amount of fruit on our Fig tree. It was planted about six years ago as a young sapling. Now it's huge! Any suggestions as to how we might use these lovely and delicious figs?

[Mark]

This sort of thing, which, to our impression, has become commonplace here..this does indeed show that us giving our intent to others..that doing so unknowingly, in ignorance..that such a living in ignorance is dangerous to the individual and group.

It reminds me of that famous experiment mentioned in "What the Bleep" talking about the meditators who lowered the crime rate in DC for a summer by a specific and predicted amount. In the extended, "Down the Rabbit Hole" version, the scientists talk about other experiments that mark big events witnessed on a worldwide stage and how random number generators react in a non-random way, spiking shortly before these occurrences, examples given were the OJ Simpson trial and 911. What we concentrate on, en masse, becomes. The experiments in weather modification going on here lately have been quite interesting as well.

In the case of my son, leaving the request open to the "highest potentiality" and not asking specifically for healing seems to have left the door open for "more" potentially, although for me, his health and welfare are paramount.

But my view is limited ...

Hi Mazie,

I can't help but wonder how it must feel to join a website community where so many people know stories about you.
Welcome, and I hope you have the best of times here and now.

this recipe appeals to me.

Saffron Scented Fresh Figs With Cinnamon and Honey

-50 g sugar
-saffron (1 large pinch)
-1 cinnamon stick
-2 tablespoons honey
-8 fresh figs, cut in half lengthways
-150 g thick Greek yogurt, to serve

Directions:
1 Place 300ml cold water, the sugar, saffron, cinnamon stick and honey in a large pan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil gently and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced slightly. 2 Add the figs and simmer for a further 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. 3 Serve the figs warm with the yogurt and drizzled with the saffron syrup. 4 Serving tip - Stir the yoghurt into the cooled syrup for an extra creamy sauce, or serve chilled with ice cream.

This accompanying trailer looked interesting:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ5p7l1hNuQ

I wanted to remark on this earlier Bob, but forgot. This trailer looks more than interesting. It looks like somebody has either been paying attention to forums like PA, particularly the threads talking about Archons, Flyers, Foreign Installations and multidimentional parasites, or it is time to inform the masses in their roundabout way that the world we live in is under the control of powers that we cannot see.

The trailer kind of reminded me of that old classic, "They Live", but instead of physical aliens masked by holograms or whatever, it seems to be multidimensional in nature. I suppose, to be sure, we"ll have to wait till the movie comes out to see for sure ... but that's what the trailer looks like.

Yes, that's what I thought too, especially reminiscent of a recent thread about advances in subliminal programming capacity through SESS (?), and frequency transmissions that can modify thought and thus behavior on a mass scale. There will be no need for bullets when it is much easier to just convince you subliminally to go along.

I'm sad.
Hugo in hospital again.We discovered yesterday that is anorexic (also have the Helicobacter in the stomach). He told us (he is my gilfriend's son, 12 years old) crying after discovering bags full of food in the cupboard .. Very shocking, indeed. Now he is becoming to gaining weight again. Very slowly.

Any ray of energy is welcome. Thanks!

It's kinda sad, imo, that so many still imagine that the office of the presidency still carries with it the ability to affect any meaningful change, without the approval of the hidden manipulators far above the conventional political spectrum who are actually running the show. Even they are taking orders. Really, the whole voting issue (republicorp vs demicorp) these days is comparable to the Romans' bread & circus carnivals -- more distraction for the hypnotized masses, keep 'em divided against each other with faux choices, and they'll never bother looking behind the curtain.

Sorry Dan that this has brought a sadness to you. With the power of the Village I am sure he will be getting better soon. My heart goes out to you and yours, so sad to have to deal with this at such an early age. Stay positive and it will transcend to Hugo for a speedy recovery!

Hey Marianne, I'm just now catching up on the Village, so I missed your request at the time. I am glad to hear all is well by your post above. My method, in a tornado or severe weather, different from tropical behemoth storms, is to go outside and directly communicate with the storm. I first state protection for my home and family and expand that outwards to the city/vicinity, etc. I visualize the energy coming down from above and also up from below (Gaia, the earth) to utilize the torsion field, and then I harness that energy and state and visualize that energy pushing the system from below and raising it up higher and higher so that the system does not touch the ground. In scarier situations (the last time I did this was during the colossal tornado storm that leveled Smithville, MS and Tuscaloosa/Birmingham area in April of 25-28, 2011), I have performed the Lesser Banishing Ritual,

http://www.sacred-texts.com/bos/bos026.htm

to request help and protection from the archangels, though this practice may be very unorthodox in formal magick. But for a redneck, I say what the hell! It's your intent that is vital. Regardless, doing this with the intent of service to others and protection for flora and fauna, I have found this effective. Also, I must add that I learned this from Purple Lama, so he may have more to say on this. I hope this helps.

Watched a show on beer last night in bits and pieces while cooking dinner. Some fascinating information!

The English made beer out of pond water scum in the Middle Ages. Following the same recipe today, using pond water scum, the beer is pure, clean and healthy.

Following a recipe for beer made by the ancient Egyptians, the beer was full of natural tetracycline (an antibiotic).

When water was so polluted in Europe that one could not drink it, every one drank beer, man, woman and child. Everyone drank approximately a liter a day, roughly six times the amount of beer we drink today.

(For LOTR fans ... ) the American pub where the founding fathers first gathered to discuss independence was named ... The Green Dragon!

Sierra :wave:

Speaking of Beer, Sierra, it made me think of the Sumerian poem Hymn To Ninkasi, the goddess who taught the Sumerians to brew beer. Anyway, here is a link to my musical adaptation of the poem. it's rambling, and I really can't sing, but I had a lot of fun recording it! I posted this back on Village page 360, here's the link: http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30405-Here-and-Now...What-s-Happening&p=406411&viewfull=1#post406411

Still here, just floating in and out.

Yesterday an old friend came to visit, and we went for a walk in the park,
its a linear track along side a creek, lovely walk.
Anyways, on the way back, we walked through "something" and time shifted,
i felt slowed down. My friend who is not awake to things, also felt it, and she
started to feel ill. When we got back home she was physically sick.
Very odd, need to journey today on what that was.

Then my dreams last night. I had a knocking, three times, once on that front
door and once on the back door.

The last time this happened my mother was very close to transitioning.
I worked all that week on her and she pulled through thankfully.

So yeah.. interesting.

Weather here is starting to change, spring is in the air,
it's such a relief. I have loads of baby seedlings in my seed trays,
getting ready for a big spring planting

Love to all

Heard a scritching noise by the front door about three minutes ago. So I snuck up on it, thinking it might be a mouse. The front door was open, with the screen door being closed.

turns out it was three juvenile/adult racoons bouncing around on my front steps, crusin' for food n' stuff. So I turned the light on and stood there. No response. Then I tapped the screen door glass. No response but to look at me. then I started to tap the glass strongly. they became agitated like a dog waiting to get in, being teased by their owner. so I opened the door a bit and verbally shooed them. Go Away, I said, we got one already!

they tried to come INTO the house, when I opened the door. No fear of humans, at all. I was eating a bit of a sandwich, so I tossed that out there and they pounced on it immediately. Maybe their mother died, but I'm the last person in the area they should be coming to, as I just had the landlord repair the roof from a raccoon intrusion, if any of you recall that bit.

bye the bye, Just before that, I had a call from my father, which is unusual, but a happy thing.

Anyone care for another cup of synchronicity?

We'll see about that one, but may need his permission.

And the way they pounced on that sandwich he had tossed out there...

Passing the synchro-cup, last night, as you posted this, my mother was enlisting my wife's help in posting a picture on FB of the racoon that has taken residence up in their yard, hanging out with the cats and enjoying the bounty of cat food. I had to laugh, waking up this morning and seeing this.

JB can work it a little different than you, Play, she being an air element, like myself. Let the energy of your own aura expand on out into the storm, feel it out, push and pull and stop the spin. A little simplified, but that's the gist of it.

Racoons... I had a dream about them last night, and I have my regular visitors. Turns out that the raccoon that came in my house earlier this spring was a mama. She has since introduced her 4 kids to me. One night, two of them spent a couple of hours playing on my princess balcony (from my bedroom). I have a blanket there for Romeo. They had a lot of fun on that, and then one of them had a little nap. Cute to watch. They have no fear of me whatsoever, light, shoo shoo, banging on the door, seems to amuse them more than anything. I don't forget to bring Romeo's food inside for the night anymore...

Well... this is officially my first day of work. Nothing better than to start it off with a paid holiday ! hehe... No more anguish or bouts of depression. I am calm and ready for the challenge. I will do what I do best : shine ! I do have an intuition that something has been brewing there while I was enjoying my time off. I'll know soon enough.

Welcome Mitzvah! Please have one of those fresh figs "au naturel" for me and Flash, will y'a ?

The Bahai prayer for protection was written by the Bab, in his own hand, in the shape of a five pointed star.

http://bahai-library.com/visuals/daira-haykal2/daira2_med.jpg

The five-pointed star in astrology forms five angles of 72 degrees each.
In occult teachings this angle denotes protective cosmic energies.
Hence they built the Pentagon that way, too.

So the rituals PL shared here are in line with these higher principles.

By the way, PL, Abdu'l-Baha was a Gemini, born on May 23 rd, 1844, the exact same day the Bab declared he was the herald of the promised messenger of peace.
And I just found the horoscope online...surprises never end.....

In my adaptation of the LBR, I actually invoke the six directions, adding a seventh, The archangels being east, south, west, north, and adding Father above, Mother Below, and Child within. The Pentacle is used to seal each direction.

There is great power in the Bab's prayer, no doubt about it.

Here is a translation of that prayer:
http://www.bahaiprayers.org/protection7.htm

In the Name of God, the Lord of overpowering majesty, the All-Compelling.

"Hallowed be the Lord in Whose hand is the source of dominion. 
He createth whatsoever He willeth by His Word of command “Be,” and it is. 
His hath been the power of authority heretofore, and it shall remain His hereafter. 
He maketh victorious whomsoever He pleaseth, through the potency of His behest. 
He is in truth the Powerful, the Almighty. 
Unto Him pertaineth all glory and majesty in the kingdoms of Revelation and Creation and whatever lieth between them.  Verily, He is the Potent, the All-Glorious. 
From everlasting He hath been the Source of indomitable strength and shall remain so unto everlasting. 
He is indeed the Lord of might and power. 
All the kingdoms of heaven and earth and whatever is between them are God's,
and His power is supreme over all things. 
All the treasures of earth and heaven and everything between them are His, and His protection extendeth over all things. 
He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth and whatever lieth between them,
and He truly is a witness over all things. 
He is the Lord of Reckoning for all that dwell in the heavens and on earth and whatever lieth between them,
and truly God is swift to reckon. 
He setteth the measure assigned to all who are in the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. 
Verily, He is the Supreme Protector. 
He holdeth in His grasp the keys of heaven and earth and of everything between them. 
At His Own pleasure doth He bestow gifts, through the power of His command. 
Indeed His grace encompasseth all, and He is the All-Knowing.

Say: God sufficeth unto me; He is the One Who holdeth in His grasp the kingdom of all things. 
Through the power of His hosts of heaven and earth and whatever lieth between them,
He protecteth whomsoever among His servants He willeth. 
God, in truth, keepeth watch over all things.

Immeasurably exalted art Thou, O Lord! 
Protect us from what lieth in front of us and behind us,
above our heads, on our right, on our left, below our feet and every other side to which we are exposed. 
Verily, Thy protection over all things is unfailing."



When Bahaullah appeared 9 became the main number.
Nine assembly members, at local, national, and international levels,
nine Holy Days.
The nine-pointed star, or enneagram, became the main symbol, and is even used on Baha'i grave stones.

A fine line to be walked when to let them be kids and when to intervene in certain activities.

Lorax, Chicken Little, movies were a safe choice for me.

Wow thanks for that WCBD.

I have to now add my experiences as well, as we live on a second floor walk up where our door is, leading to our third floor apartment. We have a cat that lives outside during the summertime and there is a trio of raccoons, a mother and 2 of her kids, that love that cat food more than life apparently. They are not afraid of the girls that live in the apartment downstairs and will walk up and over to the cat dish to eat no matter who is out on the balcony relaxing. The girls downstairs have learned to close the door at the foot of the stairs in the evenings now and we have to manually go out and get the cat to bring him up to feed him, he can jump off the balcony into trees or a high fence to get down. It seems to be working, but if someone forgets to close the door and the sun goes down ... the cat food becomes raccoon food without fail.

One night I was out with Rae and he was eating. He looked up and at the passageway leading down to the door and hissed and of course, here come the raccoons, marching to the food even though I was sitting right beside it! I had to yell at them in what had to be raccoon language in order to get them to leave! It's a futile effort though. I know they've gotten upstairs whenever I come down in the morning and all the food and water is gone, since Rae doesn't eat all of his food in one night and the raccoons always leave dirt in his water dish.

I'd expect creatures with hands to be a bit more fastidious.

Well, hands can be used for all sorts of things.

The racoons have figured out one thing:
power in numbers.
A solo raccoon wouldn't stand a chance against a cat

Well, hands can be used for all sorts of things.

The racoons have figured out one thing:
power in numbers.

LOL True they always do go around in packs. We had the same thing when we lived in another city, raccoons without fear of humans that loved cat food.

Those raccoons are like a gang of bandits, so their masks pretty much say it all. They bogart a scene like the mafia, everybody bustin' up in there and spreadin' out like they own the place.


A solo raccoon wouldn't stand a chance against a cat
which was allowed to keep his claws.

(And don't get me started on declawing cats....the tenfold amputation.)

Rae's not de-clawed, thank goodness. I always thought he was a scaredy-cat because he skulks around during the winter when he's inside, only coming out at night, but he doesn't run from the raccoons and he's out there every night with them, foxes, skunks, fishers and who knows what else.

The pink BC, the pink! I've always wanted one of those little tiny trailers, I think they are AWESOME!!!

But if you are traveling with more than one other, the blue is probably more practical (also if you happen to be one of those people who pack the kitchen sink).

The Bahai prayer for protection was written by the Bab, in his own hand, in the shape of a five pointed star.

http://bahai-library.com/visuals/daira-haykal2/daira2_med.jpg

The five-pointed star in astrology forms five angles of 72 degrees each.
In occult teachings this angle denotes protective cosmic energies.
Hence they built the Pentagon that way, too.

So the rituals PL shared here are in line with these higher principles.


Here are 3 very potent Tibetan Chakras that can be either worn on one's chest, or placed in locations where protection is sought:

JB can work it a little different than you, Play, she being an air element, like myself. Let the energy of your own aura expand on out into the storm, feel it out, push and pull and stop the spin. A little simplified, but that's the gist of it.

As for Archangels, when we enlist with the Most High, them boys work for us.

Thanks PL -- I will do that next time. I found it okay, but I like the idea of expanding my aura out.

I have some soap making pics.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8037/7922927312_6ef9e0bf43.jpg
Warm (95-100F) oil in my Kitchenaid mixer which is dedicated now to soap.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8174/7922929054_cdd8f66a6e.jpg
The lye (also warmed to 95-100F) has been poured in while the mixer is going, and the mixture is starting to saponify.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8039/7922931308_905832c9c7.jpg
Checking for 'trace' when the mixture has thickened enough to stand on the top for a second. Just like making pudding. The old fashioned kind you cook on the stove. At this point I've added the essential oils and any adds (citric acid powder in this one, Lemon Verbena, to help it hold the fragile lemony scent).

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8451/7922932664_14350005b9.jpg
Now it's poured into the mold. I heave a sigh of relief at this point.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8172/7922933586_815c703231.jpg
Run water in the mixing bowl or it'll turn to soap really fast and hard to get out.

Cover on, ready for its fleece blanket to keep the temp steadily warm for 24 hours. Then I'll pop it out, let it sit another day to harden up a little for handling. Then slice it into bars. Then it sits another 21 days to cure completely.

Marianne, I had no idea of the process. It's an art form that many wouldn't have the patience for, me on the top of that list. Your home must have delicious smells between the soaps and all those colorful, healthy foods you cook up. All magazine worthy! :wave:

Hi Mazie,

I can't help but wonder how it must feel to join a website community where so many people know stories about you.
Welcome, and I hope you have the best of times here and now.

Well, it's an intriguing position to be in, for I'm not sure what, or how much that Bob has shared about me, my life, and about our life together. It is so nice though to be welcomed in as an 'old, remembered friend.' I hope I can live up to whatever stories he's shared, or, to live down (teehee) whatever he's posted with the friends here ... all in all it's a wonderful place to be and there are so many fine, kind, and thoughtful folks to share my life with, and to share in their lives, too.




this recipe appeals to me.

Saffron Scented Fresh Figs With Cinnamon and Honey

-50 g sugar
-saffron (1 large pinch)
-1 cinnamon stick
-2 tablespoons honey
-8 fresh figs, cut in half lengthways
-150 g thick Greek yogurt, to serve

Directions:
1 Place 300ml cold water, the sugar, saffron, cinnamon stick and honey in a large pan, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil gently and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced slightly. 2 Add the figs and simmer for a further 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick. 3 Serve the figs warm with the yogurt and drizzled with the saffron syrup. 4 Serving tip - Stir the yoghurt into the cooled syrup for an extra creamy sauce, or serve chilled with ice cream.


How marvelous a recipe you've offered to try - for we do actually have and grow our own organic Saffron! This year we harvested our very first tiny little Saffron crop from the more than 100 bulbs we planted. We're hoping that next year they'll produce alot more flowers with the Saffron threads (the stamens).

http://www.pbase.com/1heart/image/139086651

This day we'll be baking a fresh Fig and Blueberry tart with freshly-milled organic whole wheat flour. We'll share photos later. Thanks again for the lovely recipe, my Friend.

Well, for the end the summer, here my own little raccoon story:

About a month ago, I was sitting in the living room, gently, silently reading (probably Avalon), when I hear the sliding screen patio door slide. I think: oh no, not again the neighbour's cat who has learn to slide the door. He is going to eat my cat's food.

But then, the noise made was sounding kind of strange, like much louder wood floor creaking and bigger ruflle. So I go in the kitchen, open the light and meet face to face with a very big adult raccoon. He looks at me straight in the eye, and did not move, almotst laughing at me.

I hissed at him (I must have some unknown genes), shout at him, he just would not go away and went back eating the cat's food. Finally I found a big exercice ball, and pitch it at him while hissing. He slowly left through the door he had opened.

I was very happy it was not a skunk. Both are our inner city friends, I live IN the city.

Here a funny video:

One thing I like about being in Barbados is that I don't have to cook...cheese and crackers is a favorite of mine, too.
But no beer...I'm saving them for visitors.
Instead had a glass of golden apple juice, and added a shot of Old Parr Whiskey.
Medicinal as well as delicious. Have to finish the bottle before I leave here next week. Still half a bottle there...most likely my writing will be slurry these next few days...

BC -- that looks so delicious! Love the look of that curry sauce. Well done, I bet you had happy bellies at your house. : )

I made a new recipe tonight, sweet potato-spinach stir fry with garlic and sambal oelek (Asian chili sauce), served on basmati rice. And I marinated tofu slices in hoison sauce, mirin, and rice vinegar and pan sizzled them. It came out delicious. My son ate with us and loved it. He's always a good sport about my meatless meals.

I found some recipes for make-your-own curry sauce concentrate, formed into a ball and kept refrigerated, to use in making curry sauces as needed. I want to do that. I don't like the heat of some curry mixtures but love the flavor, so I'd like to adjust them to milder.

Your screen door is gorgeous!

WCBD, thanks for the soap encouragement. Yes, the basement smells wonderful ... making the soap and having it sitting around curing. It seeps upstairs too. People tell me the house smells like a health food / herb store. I love that, that's what I'm aiming for. :)

Just heard this. Don't usually go for dancy stuff, but these lyrics are just too meaningful:

mUzVdRYHT64


hey!

it was night
it was day
it was life the old-fashioned way
it was different times, then how we want to be

lots of laughs
lots of cries
lots of tears and goodbyes
till we meet again
up in the sky....

hey!

got the spark
in the eye
got the will to live and never die
in the ancient times
before the gathering

out of sight
out of mind
as we bend the heartache back in time
till we dance again
up in the sky...

(edit: it takes abut 8-10 beers and a good half a pack of cigarettes to get there..., as in enjoy the big clubs, at all- then step outside and feel tired, disoriented, and deaf)

Terence Mckenna had the best Raccoon story.

He was growing his own mushrooms in jars of fermenting rye on his porch,
and one night he heard a racket and went out to find some Raccoons that had
figured out how to open the jars. They looked up at him, standing on two legs,
holding the jars with myclieum crumbs covering their faces.
He backed off, and left them too it, and within a short time they were
squawking and squealing as the mushrooms kicked in. ...
Low doses of Psilocybin increases arousal..

When he tells this its very very funny....

People have asked me..since you say that you have helped some of the ones lost in the bardos..how do you reconcile that with the claims of others, who say that you should have seen someone, what are called 'angels by some? One story is not backed by the other, apparently.

Well, the issue does indeed clear itself, with the correct rumination on some of the salient details.

One being that if one is clear of their body, the feeling of exhilaration, expansion and freedom is quite, uhm,er, high. That the vibration, in that high, to rescue someone who is very much stuck in the horror of a death of when they where incarnated..that the vibration to reach them to sync with them so that they can see one another...is all wrong.

Not going to happen. (possibly non interference, as well) Also note that those who do rescue, do indeed communicate with the dead and convince them to 'go over', and then others assist.

How to reach one stuck in the moment of horror?

But..it might be possible, if an incarnated human duality could be of that mind and thus sync up with that world and that space, that vibration.

How did I help out with the Tsunami?

One must know that horror, in order to step into it.

At the age of 5 months, I nearly died in a bathtub. It is one of my deepest memories. Among other things. plus my last life lived, one of being beaten down every day, for the most part... and dying, lost, with nothing, not even clothes.

Like an athlete that must train to stay in the groove and at the leading edge...gotta stay tuned!

I've updated the list to included Flash and Terence Mckenna and Nora, a grand total of 10 folks with racoonie encounters.

[Guest]

Had a family of Raccoons that wintered every year under one of the structures on the property. They came out at night to snoop around for morsels and
to check the cats' dishes for food and water. I sat out on quiet late nights in the forest and listened to their little paws patter in the dirt and their sniffs
and snorts..... Watched them in the shadows waddle around the trees. Sometimes in the morning I would find the cats' dishes in the yard and the air tight dog
food container tossed onto the other side of the porch. They became quite aggressive. One of them -the large male walked onto the porch and I shooed him away and
he hissed at me; I jumped up and hissed back at him. He lumbered away.

https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQFEMiL952NzW6IAAnaaV0kLTwuG_xJGUTBcqvyKQZ_CWQRO3l4

Sometimes I let White Tail and his sister out after that encounter. The Raccoons made fast tracks up the big oaks and one time
they chased mamma and baby Racoons up a telephone pole. I hunted all over the yard looking for them in all of the trees.
Then I thought, I bet they scurried up one of the telephone poles. I shined the light at the pole and there they both were eyes glowing
midway up, mamma and baby clinging to the telephone pole.

After White Tail had his almost deadly encounter with the coyotes last Spring there haven't been any animals large or small in the yard. Although, since Southern Cal is having a dry hot summer and drought the Mountain Lions have been coming down from their remote locations in the higher elevations in search of deer,
small animals and water. They have been spotted down by a few of the creeks in the lower valleys and my neighbors have seen their tracks near their properties.

Finally. I'm caught up :) So much going on, all lovely. I missed you all!!!!!

Good Morning!

Little One has been kept me busy over this long weekend. Something is bothering him, I don't know what exactly, but it is probably the fact that Peanut hasn't been at peace for months. This child did not play with a single toy for three days. And in case you are wondering, that was not necessarily a good thing. He is obviously not in a comfort zone. The question "why?" has now been replaced with "what happens if?" I have so many things to do to catch up from this weekend, that I'm not sure where to start. Oh, yes I do come to think of it, I will sleep. All Day. I got the cute butterfly picture I shared, and I got the cutest video of him "catching" a frog. Now, to just figure out how to get them from my phone into the world...

Hubby got a snake bite a week ago. It was a baby snake, thank goodness, because it is painfully obvious it was a poisonous snake. I'm sorry he stumbled onto it inadvertently, but I'm glad it was not Little One or anyone else. Guess it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy? I thought I was reluctant to go out into the "yard" before...I was mistaken, because now I really don't want to venture off my perch.

@Mitzvah-about the popsicles...the closest I have come to one of your delicacies would be the frozen juice/puree pops at the grocery store. I'm sure those don't even come close, so I wouldn't know what flavor is my favorite. I know! Let's have a popsicle party and we will taste them all!

Here and Now...it is 4:15am. I woke up an hour ago from horrendous dreams and a presence in my room. These dreams have been coming for a few days. They are like a movie made of splices of many different movies, and they are filled with physical or emotional pain being inflicted on people I have never seen before. I don't know what to make of this. But I wake up full of sadness and all manner of emotions I have not been experiencing during the days. Makes a difficult start to a morning, hmmm? I am employing a technique used in therapy of flashback victims with PTSD, and that is to look around the room and name the objects I see. Get back to 3D reality and get out of the dream state fully. After coming out of it just a bit, I ran, not walked, to the Village. There is no better connection to here and now than the Here and Now.

Catching up on the goings on in the Village, I have felt a connection to each of you as I read your posts, and I sincerely thank you.

All the Love I can Muster in the 4:00am hour,

Good morning everybody,

As I sat on my cliff this morning in the wind and drops of rain, this came to mind:

ecUijLSbECk

In this video, Dennis Åberg, the discoverer of the baltic sea anomaly, explains that the expedition still hasn´t found a sponsor.

In the beginning he felt very optimistic about finding sponsors for further expeditions, but NOT ONE has turned up.

So now he must search other wrecks to try and find cargo of value so he can finance expeditions to the anomaly. He also can´t afford the equipment he needs.

They are leaving in a week for the last expedition of the year, before the weather gets too bad.

Anyway - this morning I was visualizing brave sponsors coming forth to Mr Åberg, and invite any villager who feels inclined to do the same!

Last nights dream, we were in radio contact with each other as part of this worldwide radio/radar tracking system, somebody was shooting down ufos, ones that we understood to be friendlies, at the end one comes down in my area, 1inmany is shouting over the speaker that it's coming my way, I track it, determine it's path and where it will crash, then I'm out flying to the location on a search and rescue, I get to the vehicle which is badly damaged and get the thing to open up it's side, the being inside is injured, but not visibly and I teleport directly into (carmody's) a healing pool of water, she is unconscious and I fumble for a while to keep her face above water while removing her garments because I know the water must be making full contact with her body, once that's accomplished I start moving through the water in these wide, slow sweeping circles, careful not to let the water cover her face, this goes on for a while and eventually she begins to slowly regain consciousness, and when she makes eye contact I wake up

god bless the fae

Fear is the theme from the “Daily Wisdom,” by: Rachel Willis from Archangel Michael.

"Fear doesn't protect you, it's the THOUGHT that fear protects you that causes you to check in with your intuition, rethink all your options to clarify your truth, hold firm in your knowingness of your personal needs, wants and rights/wrongs, and so on.



Very often in life, human beings seek options that are free from fear, not understanding that what they truly seek is the peace of a knowing solution. A step forwards that has more answers than questions. A path that resonates with their core and heartfelt desires. This will ALWAYS have some fears attached to it, for these are signposts to greater wisdom, insight, self-exploration, understanding and ultimately, mastery.



Without beginning the journey of heartfelt desire there can be no space to fulfill your dreams or soul potential, and that serves no one, least of all yourself."

Have a great day, Ya All!

L,
P'er

[PurpleLama]

I disagree with Michael on this one. It's the intuition that makes one check with the intuition, not the thought that fear protects you. Otherwise, the passage jives.

[1inMany]

Ahhhh. Do you hear that? Quiet. The human F-bomb machine has left the building. Phew. Hard to describe what that does to a person over a period of time.

[ulli]

I disagree with Michael on this one. It's the intuition that makes one check with the intuition, not the thought that fear protects you. Otherwise, the passage jives.

This is where astrology comes in....
There were some scientific studies done once. Can't remember who did it.
They compared the alternating sun signs to extrovert and introvert typecasting of psychology.
So if your sun sign is Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, then you are considered more extrovert,
and fear and caution play a lesser role in how the mind operates than if you are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn o Pisces.
Of course the overall chart placing must also be factored in, as the sun sign alone doesnt make the full personality.
For instance, I have the sun in Capricorn, so in my 3D life I'm cautious and plan my actions well.
But my Leo Ascendant and Mars Mercury conjunction in Aquarius prompt me to use intuition instead of fear orientation.
So WCBD being Cancer would resonate with the idea that there is some room for fear, while someone with an air sign sun like PL wouldn't see it that way.

[Jenci]

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

It was back to school today for my son. I've been planning everything the last few days to make the process as smooth as possible for him. He finds school very difficult and can be anxious and unsettled and as a mum, that bothers me. I even consciously directed some bad energies away from him, although I had a vague sense that I was doing something I shouldn't - in other words, taking back control.

This morning did go smoothly and we left the house with no rushing and no shouting, ready and in a peaceful, relaxed state. I was very pleased with myself that my efforts had paid off.

As I am driving to the school, I stop, indicate to turn right, the road ahead was clear so I start turning and Smack ! As I had turned right, a motorcyclist had overtaken me on the right, collided into my car and ended up lying in the middle of the road.

Fortunately he was OK. Well he said he was although he seemed very dazed to me. He was wearing a crash helmet and full leathers which took some damage, so he was well protected. He was adamant that he was going to ride to work though.

So instead of me taking my son to school in a relaxed way, I end up handing him over to another parent who was walking by as I dealt with the motorcyclist. Poor thing was shocked and confused with it all.


Today I have been busy with dealings with the insurance company and the repair garage so I have had not time for reflection until I just got back now.

I asked the question of my Higher Self - 'so what was all this about?'

Immediately I got the response 'Surrender'

Once again I am humbled by life and I realise All is Well, already.

Had a family of Raccoons that wintered every year under one of the structures on the property. They came out at night to snoop around for morsels and
to check the cats' dishes for food and water. I sat out on quiet late nights in the forest and listened to their little paws patter in the dirt and their sniffs
and snorts..... Watched them in the shadows waddle around the trees. Sometimes in the morning I would find the cats' dishes in the yard and the air tight dog
food container tossed onto the other side of the porch. They became quite aggressive. One of them -the large male walked onto the porch and I shooed him away and
he hissed at me; I jumped up and hissed back at him. He lumbered away.

Sometimes I let White Tail and his sister out after that encounter. The Raccoons made fast tracks up the big oaks and one time
they chased mamma and baby Racoons up a telephone pole. I hunted all over the yard looking for them in all of the trees.
Then I thought, I bet they scurried up one of the telephone poles. I shined the light at the pole and there they both were eyes glowing
midway up, mamma and baby clinging to the telephone pole.

After White Tail had his almost deadly encounter with the coyotes last Spring there haven't been any animals large or small in the yard. Although, since Southern Cal is having a dry hot summer and drought the Mountain Lions have been coming down from their remote locations in the higher elevations in search of deer,
small animals and water. They have been spotted down by a few of the creeks in the lower valleys and my neighbors have seen their tracks near their properties.

And Nora makes 10! You've just made the "Top 10 Racoonie" list. You should get a double booking with Momma, babies, and telephone poles and White Tail and Sister. And 'way cool' poetic description and pictures.

It was back to school today for my son. I've been planning everything the last few days to make the process as smooth as possible for him. He finds school very difficult and can be anxious and unsettled and as a mum, that bothers me. I even consciously directed some bad energies away from him, although I had a vague sense that I was doing something I shouldn't - in other words, taking back control.

Jeanette

Hi Jenci,

My son finds school difficult too; the noise and multiple social interactions. I have spent his first two years agonizing. So much. And learning to surrender more and more. Letting the bad stuff pass, and trying to hold his highest good in my heart.

BUT I am not past controlling yet : ). I have an elaborate plan to raise the vibrations of the whole school. Placing homemade orgonite in appropriate places. And going into "healing mode" when I enter the school area.

Also, my son puts crystals in his pockets every morning. Never forgets. He says he doesn´t have scary thoughts when he has the crystals.

[Carmody]

sometimes it's the small things that give it away.

The question: what did Einstein believe? had he 'cleared himself? Did he truly understand? Was he doing his best for humanity? Where was his head at?

It's the position of Einstein's hand in the iconic photo. People who have not cleared themselves tend to not ever have the 'open palm' stance when sitting. Their mind's are too busy, to egocentric, too frantic of purpose and thought to ever do such a thing that is a personal statement of freedom from self and others ideas on self as would be reflected by others. One simple gesture, in stance, indicates all that. It is indicative of a specific subtlety of mind and duality position. A western male, at the top of society, in 1927, would never adopt such an open palm position, if they were immersed in the social and cultural sensibilities of that time.

Solvay Conference 1927

First row: Irving Langmuir, Max Planck, Marie Curie, Hendrik Lorentz, Albert Einstein, Pierre Langevin, Charles Eugene Guye, C. T. R. Wilson, Owen W. Richardson

Second row: Peter Debye, Martin Knudson, W. Lawrence Bragg, Hans Kramer, Paul Dirac, Arthur Compton, Louis de Broglie, Max Born, Niels Bohr

Third row: Auguste Piccard, Émile Henriot, Paul Ehrenfest, Edouard Herzen, Théophile de Donder, Erwin Schrodinger, Jules-Emile Vershaffelt, Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg, Ralph Howard Fowler, Leon Brillouin.



Here's a black and white image (the above one appears to be colorized) from the same conference, same line up.

Note the distance between Einstein and Lorentz. The story goes that Einstein had introduced a fully engineerable quantum mechanical unified field theory in Eastern Europe, at a conference, in 1927. Lorentz is involved in the Lorentz symmetry, which removed the last vestiges of asymmetry from Maxwell's original works. This removal of the inherent asymmetry is what closed the door on access, mathematically speaking, to zero point energies, anti gravity, dimensional access, and so on....and then consequently did the same in the entire world of physics and associated math. See the works of Tom Bearden for the whole story.

Lorentz is right beside Einstein, on Einstein's left, in the photo(our left). I see two men uncomfortable with each others presence and proximity.

Your son is awesome. You are both, utterly brilliant in the face of sucky vibes. :)

I've heard of people putting orgonite around police stations and prisons, and the result is less violence and stress. Go for it!

Is it hard to make homemade orgonite?

Jenci, I hope your son is recovering from the shock.



Sierra

[Swan]

Hi Sierra,

Yes, my son is very special. ( My daughter too..in a different way. She dances through life. )

I make orgonite with pine resin and coppar, with rose quartz or himalayan quartz. It´s not hard. I melt the pine resin, pour it into a paper cup with cut up coppar scourers, and in the middle place a crystal.

I started out placing orgonite by nearby cellphone towers, a bridge and a church overlooking our town. I found that the easest way was to find a "special" tree and place the orgonite in a hole among the roots, or in the trunk.

Hi Swan,

It seems that some are meeting their challenges very early on in life. I understand how difficult it is experiencing this. :hug:

We have a couple of Wayne Dyer books called Unstoppable Me and Incredible You. They are both excellent bedtime reading and discussion books, directing kids to find their solutions, peace and love within themselves. :)

Jeanette

[Swan]

Yup,

Got them :) Plus a Louise Hay one.

Also a few films: "Billy Elliot", and the new film "Hugo" by Scorcese, about finding ones mission in life.

And, Wayne Dyers "No Excuses" is really good too: how to go after your dreams inspite of what adults may think.

When wackytweety talks--I listen: it was suggested I post my issues here, so here goes...

I have been having issues with what seems to be an abduction scenario (of my gf, and at least one of her daughters), which may or not be tied directly to really strong vampiric entity or entities (she sees "dead people" everywhere, and has sense for energy--good and bad--when it is concentrated in specific locations).

She has been receptive to the research I have been doing, trying to find out answers about what is happening and how to stop it. I find my will gets in the way a lot, and often need to be reminded of my responsibility--@ which time I try to change focus and look at things in different light.

Well I am pretty satisfied in the amount of information I have gotten her to comprehend, despite the forces actively attempting (often successfully) to prevent her from getting it. The more I learned and shared, the more aggressive the attacks....culminating in full-blown possessions, the second to last (about a month ago now) lead her to ER bound extreme vertigo, and the MRI revealing a brain tumor.

Whether or not it formed the moment I feel it did, or if that info from that moment just set off effects, it was a message I did not get clear enough apparently until the last time I watched them "jump" or "surface" in her, at which time it/they made it clear: they want to hurt me for what I am learning and sharing.

Anyway: I refuse to give up, at least trying to remove her baggage/attachments/demons. Apparently my compulsion yesterday to read and contribute to the horus-FA thread agitated her (it/them) enough that she was blaming me for everything that has been happening and the idea that if I stopped looking at that stuff everything would be better.

As I pondered how I was going to be able relate the idea of pandora's box (that it was kinda a lil late now...), I called upon my higher self, or at least tried to. I promised myself if I was provided help in removing her (our) demons that I would use the tools from that to help everyone I could. I asked my higher self to incarnate within me so we could bring light to the darkness...that's the intent I kept trying project: light light light!

So really, I have no idea wtf I am doing. I can't relate to an idea of a "higher self" seperate from myself, or a higher power of the light where the method of asking for help is hidden. I realize my "prayers" aren't only answered in ways apparent to me, but I also know these dark b@stards can and do directly communicate...why can't I get that from the good guys?

And really, that doesn't even matter. My girl is the one with significantly more of the senses & powers of stuff like that, but too often she acts on fears or the direct or indirect requests/desires of the dark side (for lack of better term). She is unable to hold her attention on any of this information without great difficulty (& often punishment), so I'm hoping for some ideas on how to get her to successfully call out to some useful light beings...

Thanks WT for the re-focus, I have had enough of the negative side for the moment, and also thanks to ulli for pointing the need for me to do this even before WT...I appreciate your compassion

[Jenci]

Hi Donk

Good to see you in this thread. I understand she has just recently been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. I would guess this is a very worrying time for both of you.

Do you think it could be possible that her behaviour of late is due to the tumour rather than anything else?

Without attempting to catch up (yet), allow me to blurt out a few photographs from this past weekend's family camping trip.

Sunshine and light breezes, moon-filled and star-filled night skies, prairie blazing stars in the daytime, sights and sounds of birds gregarious (Blue Jays, Chickadees, a Mockingbird) and shy (a Pileated Woodpecker flew low right over our heads), chorus of crickets at night that obliterated the silence, the expansive William Buhlman's "Adventures Beyond the Body" for a little light reading, and several interesting critters visiting our campsite.

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

It was back to school today for my son. I've been planning everything the last few days to make the process as smooth as possible for him. He finds school very difficult and can be anxious and unsettled and as a mum, that bothers me. I even consciously directed some bad energies away from him, although I had a vague sense that I was doing something I shouldn't - in other words, taking back control.

This morning did go smoothly and we left the house with no rushing and no shouting, ready and in a peaceful, relaxed state. I was very pleased with myself that my efforts had paid off.

As I am driving to the school, I stop, indicate to turn right, the road ahead was clear so I start turning and Smack ! As I had turned right, a motorcyclist had overtaken me on the right, collided into my car and ended up lying in the middle of the road.

Fortunately he was OK. Well he said he was although he seemed very dazed to me. He was wearing a crash helmet and full leathers which took some damage, so he was well protected. He was adamant that he was going to ride to work though.

So instead of me taking my son to school in a relaxed way, I end up handing him over to another parent who was walking by as I dealt with the motorcyclist. Poor thing was shocked and confused with it all.


Today I have been busy with dealings with the insurance company and the repair garage so I have had not time for reflection until I just got back now.

I asked the question of my Higher Self - 'so what was all this about?'

Immediately I got the response 'Surrender'

Once again I am humbled by life and I realise All is Well, already.

Hi Donk,

Do we have permission from you and your girlfriend to do a remote healing session and sending good vibes your way?

[donk]

Hi WT: It would be an answer to my prayers.

[another bob]

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

Yep, that's the point of this whole exercise.

Synchronistically, I was driving Mazie to the dentist this morning to get a couple of fillings, as as we approached the office, I told her about your run-in with the motorcycle driver. As we entered the office, the radio playing in the background announced that the Red Bull heir, driving his Ferrari, ran over a motorcycle cop and fled the scene. When the police tracked the trail of blood to the guy's mansion, one of the servants tried to surrender himself and take the blame, but they realized he was just covering for his billionaire boss.

[donk]

Oh and I actually asked her awhile ago if she trusted me to ask for help for her, and she was absolutely open to it...

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

Talking about surrender.

Marieke (Laperle) has finally found a job (and a good one) which leaves me to take care of the kids, run the bed and breakfast and do the house hold. This brought back an old friend. Stress and loads of it. After nearly 2 weeks I felt like a burn out catching up with me. Exercises from Eckhart Tolle were impossible to do. Felt like a mental muscle that went paralysed. Let alone identifying the watcher.
After searching and trying to get to a solution... finally I got it. When stress is in the picture I tend to hit the brakes to what comes in and goes out. I add resistance to it in truck loads and so adding to the experience of stress.
This is a habit that I was unconscious about.
So now when I feel a energy of stress arising, together with a thought to it.... I open myself up to it and then there is a big rush of energy going through me... and then there is no more stress... gone!
So this is my surrendering for the past few days and for some time to come probably.

Still can't do Eckhart Tolle though....weird :)

Happy to hear that everyone got away without being hurt Jeanette.

Hi Bob, we were blessed that our scenario didn't play out with such bad consequences as that one. Lessons have been learned all round. I would guess the young motorcyclist will not do that again and I would guess he will be a safer rider for it too.


My thoughts have been on this....



"So with awakening, the stakes go up. The more awake we get, the higher the stakes get.

I remember when I was staying at a Buddhist monastery for a while.The abbess there, a wonderful woman, talked about this process of awakening as climbing a ladder. With each step you go, you have less and less tendency to look down.

You have less tendency to act in ways you know aren't true or to speak in ways you know aren't true or do things you know aren't coming from the truth. You start to realize that the consequences have become greater; the more awake we get, the greater the consequences are.

Finally, the consequences of acting outside of truth become immense; the slightest action or behavior that's not in accordance with the truth can be unbearable to us. "

Excellent recognition, Brother, we tend by habit to compound stress with more stress, aka "viscious cycle:.


About your exercise, you might consider getting up an hour earlier. When I was in the thick of my career, I often worked 12-14 hr. days, so the only time for meditation was early morning. Buddha, btw, is reported to have claimed that the best time for meditation is between 3 -5 AM.

Adyashanti

Yep, and if one reads the Xtian mystics, like St. Teresa, for example, they will get very detailed about their perceived faults (which might seem miniscule to the average reader). Of course, this attitude is a phase too, and actually a tricky play of ego-mind that still wants to confirm its existence.

[Eram]

Actually,

The only meditation that I do is a breathing meditation before my attempts for astral travel, to get relaxed and better attuned for it.
The exercises I talk about is watching the thoughts and emotions, allow everything to be and be in the now. This is done during the day without sitting down and meditate. It feels a sort of like meditating, but then at the same time doing ' your thing'.

Waking up an hour early is good advice though and I actually do it already... to get enough work done.
The focus is on doing all that I told and still find some time to renovate the house. :P



Buddha, btw, is reported to have claimed that the best time for meditation is between 3 -5 AM.

Might that have to do with the mind being weaker at that time of day? Because when I set the alarm for astral travel at that time.... I feel that my mind is too weak to do the projection. Weaker as later in the day that is.

[another bob]

The exercises I talk about is watching the thoughts and emotions, allow everything to be and be in the now. This is done during the day without sitting down and meditate.

It takes some time to get to the right balance.

"Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind." ~Sri Nisargadatta

Might that have to do with the mind being weaker at that time of day? Because when I set the alarm for astral travel at that time.... I feel that my mind is too weak to do the projection. Weaker as later in the day that is.

That is the time in the body/mind rhythm when there is the least distraction, and so the opportunity for the most clarity, focus, and depth. When in the Zen Monastery, we rose at around 2:30 AM, did some chanting, and then meditation till about 5:30, when we had a small meal and began our work-day. It was great, but when I left and went back to the "World", I slept in till about 4:30 AM for quite some time, since I am lazy by nature. Mazie gets up usually around 4 AM, because she loves that time of day before dawn, and also enjoys watching the sunrise.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Solvay_conference_1927.jpg/700px-Solvay_conference_1927.jpg

finally got my internet connection back and running. It seems that my take on the conference of physicists in 1927, was exactly right. Lorentz had argued for utter perfection in following the scientific method. He was arguing for perfection and absolute unchallenged rule in the application of scientific method in all physics and sciences. absolutism, is what he wanted. Lorentz was arguing for permanence in dogmatism.

Einstein wanted a far more open system. To retain the checks and balances of 'scientific method' but to allow for more varied situations.

The argument and discussion was taking place at this exact time, at this conference.

Fifth Conference

Perhaps the most famous conference was the October 1927 Fifth Solvay International Conference on Electrons and Photons, where the world's most notable physicists met to discuss the newly formulated quantum theory. The leading figures were Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr. Einstein, disenchanted with Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, remarked "God does not play dice". Bohr replied, "Einstein, stop telling God what to do". (See Bohr–Einstein debates.) 17 of the 29 attendees were or became Nobel Prize winners, including Marie Curie, who alone among them, had won Nobel Prizes in two separate scientific disciplines.[2]

This conference was also the culmination of the struggle between Einstein and the scientific realists, who wanted strict rules of scientific method as laid out by Charles Peirce and Karl Popper, versus Bohr and the instrumentalists, who wanted looser rules based on outcomes. Starting at this point, the instrumentalists won, instrumentalism having been seen as the norm ever since,[3] although the debate has been actively continued by the likes of Alan Musgrave.



Oddly enough, this-is much like the idea of a fifth column arsing at the fifth conference.

Fifth column
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fifth column is a group of people who clandestinely undermine a larger group, such as a nation, from within. A fifth column can be a group of secret sympathizers of an enemy that are involved in sabotage within military defense lines, or a country's borders.[1] A key tactic of the fifth column is the secret introduction of supporters into the whole fabric of the entity under attack.[2] This clandestine infiltration is especially effective with positions concerning national policy and defense.[2] From influential positions like these, fifth column tactics can be effectively utilized, from stoking fears through misinformation campaigns, to traditional techniques like espionage.[2]



There has been much discussion in conspiracy circles, regarding the fundamentals of high academia being fully penetrated by such secret society groups.

Which is LOGICALLY the only place they could hide, regarding being the system and being effective.

Pedophiles, psychotics, sociopaths, and so on...they all can only head toward and be within the places that they need to be, in order to be effective for themselves. This is a given.

Same for academia, and the sciences. where they are effective for their drives and group purposes. A human or animal attempting to hunt a meal must go to where the prey is.

Thus the penetration of politics, religion, academia, police, military and social support systems.

And one might say, that although he would probably have to hide it, Einstein may have been working in the face of knowing what he was dealing with.

some might think that this is far too much to conclude from a photo, but the data far exceeds that of a photo.

The Lorentz end of the scale the scientific method types who wish for that... in the form of absolutism, would never see it and can't see it.

The Einstein types who would argue the point that openness MUST remain, can easily see the potentials and the connections.

My personal experience is that absolutists pretend to adhere to or make lip service to instrumetalism, but desire and live within a world of the projection of ideas tied to numbers ruling all potential paths and directions to explore.

The instrumentalists desire that observation rule the idea of what the science is to explore and become.

Thus observation is allowed to be, to exist, to be king in the extrapolation of reality..which is essentially what the spiritualists and the Buddhists speak of. that observation, logic, extrapolation and exploration are KING... and the only way to move forward.

And that the absolutists, their projected fears of not knowing (from where they sit), they desire that those projections rule. (absolutists arguing that once something has been confirmed, it can never change, becoming a fact in perpetual permanence.)

Some things never change, it is just that the scientific absolutists have a bigger and more complex box to confine themselves within, so they are among the last to ever see it..as they have the way forward papered over with many layers of self protection in the form of complex projection.

And that this complex papered crap is a large part of our current nightmare, due to the average person having not one clue of the complexity and tangled web that the absolutists have woven for us, and themselves.

The exercises I talk about is watching the thoughts and emotions, allow everything to be and be in the now. This is done during the day without sitting down and meditate.

It takes some time to get to the right balance.

"Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind." ~Sri Nisargadatta




Buddha, btw, is reported to have claimed that the best time for meditation is between 3 -5 AM.


Might that have to do with the mind being weaker at that time of day? Because when I set the alarm for astral travel at that time.... I feel that my mind is too weak to do the projection. Weaker as later in the day that is.

That is the time in the body/mind rhythm when there is the least distraction, and so the opportunity for the most clarity, focus, and depth. When in the Zen Monastery, we rose at around 2:30 AM, did some chanting, and then meditation till about 5:30, when we had a small meal and began our work-day. It was great, but when I left and went back to the "World", I slept in till about 4:30 AM for quite some time, since I am lazy by nature. Mazie gets up usually around 4 AM, because she loves that time of day before dawn, and also enjoys watching the sunrise.

I have covered the physics and the metaphysics of the story behind this 3-5 am issue before, in various threads. one would have to do a search on my handle, Carmody ,and 'the witching hour'. If done - the data, complete with images and metaphysical connecting tissue, etc, will all be in the results.

Just as the four days of the equinoxes and solstices mark the most spirit-laden time of the yearly cycle,
so in the same manner sunrise, midday, sunset, and midnight
are the moments of the veil between worlds being thinner,
so I try to remember sitting quietly then.

I'll cut to the chase.

inter-dimensionally, if you could see the energies, at 3:15 am at night, you'd see a spiral in the sky, sticking out, away from the earth, the size of the earth, like the view from the inside of a tornado. Like the eye of a hurricane, but spiraling out from the earth, toward the outer rim of the solar system.

This.....If you could see those energies.

what this means is that this 3:15 (approx) time, in your local area, the ability to be psychic or have psychic sensitivity is at it's peak or highest, or most complimentary, and with the least noise or interference.

Essentially, if one wants to dream/function properly, according to standard human design parameters... one must be in bed and sleeping/dreaming before 3:15am.

This is (part of) why it is chosen to be 'the witching hour.'

I myself, when left to my own devices, tend to do the 2-sleep cycle. I sleep in a chair, ie, pass out for a few hours or more, then wake for a while, then head to a true bed type sleep.

What I specifically do with those two sleep cycles, I'll keep to myself. :crazy_pilot:

~~~~~~~~

it has to do with the earth's umbra or shadow, in the shape of a cone, and how the energies are lensed and gated at that particular local time. Local to the person and area.

Also, that is the time that the body is in it's most deep sleep, so..it is easier to reach the meditative state, the one where the body is truly still and the mind could be wandering and awake, with little to no bodily interference.

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

It was back to school today for my son. I've been planning everything the last few days to make the process as smooth as possible for him. He finds school very difficult and can be anxious and unsettled and as a mum, that bothers me. I even consciously directed some bad energies away from him, although I had a vague sense that I was doing something I shouldn't - in other words, taking back control.

This morning did go smoothly and we left the house with no rushing and no shouting, ready and in a peaceful, relaxed state. I was very pleased with myself that my efforts had paid off.

As I am driving to the school, I stop, indicate to turn right, the road ahead was clear so I start turning and Smack ! As I had turned right, a motorcyclist had overtaken me on the right, collided into my car and ended up lying in the middle of the road.

Fortunately he was OK. Well he said he was although he seemed very dazed to me. He was wearing a crash helmet and full leathers which took some damage, so he was well protected. He was adamant that he was going to ride to work though.

So instead of me taking my son to school in a relaxed way, I end up handing him over to another parent who was walking by as I dealt with the motorcyclist. Poor thing was shocked and confused with it all.


Today I have been busy with dealings with the insurance company and the repair garage so I have had not time for reflection until I just got back now.

I asked the question of my Higher Self - 'so what was all this about?'

Immediately I got the response 'Surrender'

Once again I am humbled by life and I realise All is Well, already.

Fantastic.

I am discovering the my path is walking me down an exploration of an expansion of faith. I see so many similarities with the contexts in which you discuss surrender, and the contexts in which I find are tests of faith.

Perhaps these are the same - approaching the subject from slightly different orientations.

For me to be able to surrender, first I must have faith that this is not an unreasonable thing to do :)

Perhaps this is a chicken and egg thing, because to make an act of surrender, one is also taking a leap of faith.

Conundrums.

Anyway: I refuse to give up, at least trying to remove her baggage/attachments/demons. Apparently my compulsion yesterday to read and contribute to the horus-FA thread agitated her (it/them) enough that she was blaming me for everything that has been happening and the idea that if I stopped looking at that stuff everything would be better.

As I pondered how I was going to be able relate the idea of pandora's box (that it was kinda a lil late now...), I called upon my higher self, or at least tried to. I promised myself if I was provided help in removing her (our) demons that I would use the tools from that to help everyone I could. I asked my higher self to incarnate within me so we could bring light to the darkness...that's the intent I kept trying project: light light light!

So really, I have no idea wtf I am doing. I can't relate to an idea of a "higher self" seperate from myself, or a higher power of the light where the method of asking for help is hidden. I realize my "prayers" aren't only answered in ways apparent to me, but I also know these dark b@stards can and do directly communicate...why can't I get that from the good guys?

How do you know your prayers are not being answered?

One of the most difficult things we face are situations in which a beloved other self faces challenges which strike at the core of our own being such that we want to help but find we cannot seem to.

From what I can discern, you aspire to act in a metaphysically potent manner in order to ameliorate or fix the problem. This may well be possible, but I would like to present some ideas about this.

I am sure that you want any actions you would like to take would be with the objective of making matters better and not worse.

The dynamics of freewill when inspected with 100% detached honesty often reveal very different root causes to situations than first meet the eye - in fact for most people, this is almost always the case; because what meets our eye is the distorted illusory reality of our own making.

The dynamics of the human incarnate experience are based on distortion and creating such complex distortion that we loose sight of the pure origins of our true being. This presents us a phenomenally potent environment in which to experience ourselves.

Consider a perfect tube made of paper - it is standing on its end on a level table. We all know that this is a very strong structure; and it has the capacity to support much more weight than first appearances suggest - a weighty pile of books can be balanced on it. However, if you introduce a tiny distortion to the structure it will crumple and collapse.

This metaphorical collapse through distortion, represents catalyst and for sentient beings it provides a means to explore the original distortion.

Without catalyst, nothing happens of any note in perfection. Perfection or close approaches to it while blissful is boring (except it isnt for other reasons, but making this point is a stretch anyway - LOL )

To rebuild the structure to its perfect form, the distortion will have to be removed.

I am sure you can imagine that it is extremely hard to smooth out paper to the extent that it would be as strong as it was before, and that all its inner fibres have been repaired and reformed into the perfection it once was before the collapse. Such efforts would be require super-normal powers of manipulation.

If such super-normal powers of were deployed - how do we know that the catalyst will not happen again?

When tugged by the challenges faced by our other-selves, our unbounded sense of compassion may drive us to act unwisely. We may act with the to smooth the paper without fixing the underlying problem that caused the catalyst for the collapse in the first place. Or we rebuild the structure with imperfections and weakness.

Does this make sense?

The analogy needs to stretch now.

The metaphoric collapse and subsequent increase in distortion of your beloved other-self has an infinitely significant purpose. For both you, and all the other-selves involved - which now even us and whosoever chooses to be "involved". Primarily of course, the person who is the focal point of the suffering. That purpose is very likely to have been "ordained" by the other-self at levels of their awareness that they currently do not have conscious knowledge of .

Freewill may not be abridged in the highest sense of it. Attempts to do so will cause the adherence of a karmic burden.

It is possible to fix this.

So - lets get to work.

Be you sure of your ground?

Miracles can and do happen - and they almost certainly will when all the puzzle pieces of the teach/learnings and karmic cycles are understood.

It is possible with careful work, to discover the underlying karmic teach/learning catalyst that has been wrought by the one infinite creator, which we all contain, are contained by, and in which we are are one.

My offering therefore is this potentially fallible attempt to get you to first remove your eyes from the small tactical situation and widen the scope and re-appraise the strategic situation as far as you can see, with your higher consciousness as far as possible.

It may very well be that the more important battle is taking place in a section of the battlefield that has not properly yet been explored.

I heard Carla Ruekert once say on Blog talk radio that "We are wind instruments for the holy spirit." I am thinking on this and find that we play ourselves. We together play the music of creation. Its actually down to us - even all the bad stuff - but that also means we can fix that when these notes have done their job and the catalyst has run its intended course.

I apologize if this message appears cryptic.

I'd be interested in yours or anyone else's response and ideas on how to progress.

(I probably have more to add later)

I Carmody, I found your post on Einstein quite interesting and you are 100% right in your analysis of the non verbal. I could tell even more such as when two persons sitting side by side make an V between them from the upper body, or an A shape from the lower body, this is definitely being in discomfort towards each other. Funny, but Lorenz legg position has changed in between the two DIFFERENT pictures - the colored picture still shows more distance. Something happened in between the take of the two pictures (which must have been in sequence) for Lorenz to change position. Most others did not change or very little. What happened must have been said/done fast and maybe nasty. Plus, look at the body language of Lorenz, all closed in, shoulder bits forward, knees thight and in the opposite direction to Einstein and most, hands hidden (black and white) (means he is witholding information). All others in the front row do show their hands. On the other hand (no pun here), Einstein seems more relax, his left hand - (our right) opened towards the sky (your analysis is right here) but his left hand is holding the chair (in the black and white picture, it is hidden in the colored one, most probalby more towards Einstein back). To me it seems he is trying to control or hold down his thoughts. Interesting. I love observing non verbal language.

But what most interest me here, Carmody, is the other dimension at 3 AM. The vortex opening. Could you tell more about this? I once saw, around 4 am, a vortex opening like waht you described (eye of the hurricane, but more like a real vortex) this over my room (well, the ceiling was nowhere to be seen), it was quite 3D in appearance, and a beam of very intense pure light came down from it on my house, more precisely on the bedrooms. This correlates with a very specific event in my life, but I was never quite sure of what I had seen.

Thanks

Personally I am a tat prude. I see the human body as a sort of perfect thing - it is REALLY nice.

I do respect peoples freewill to have these done, but I don't really get them; but I have seen some eye catching ones.

That said, tattoos are big in Australia, the girls are getting covered in them. From the classless "tramp stamp" to minor works of art that are quite breathtaking.

And .... there is the cynical part of me thinks I should go long on shares in tattoo removal technology.

The anchor tattoo on this lass isn't bad as tats go. I do wonder, what use is an anchor that doesn't sink?

I wonder if she realizes that an anchor that is depicted with the rope this way is known as a fouled anchor - same as the one in my avatar. I am told that this is a design of badge given to some senior mariners and represents challenges in life well met.

She will meet her challenges with the defiant refusal to give up her sovereignty seeing the anchor as something oppressive that would otherwise weigh her down. Good on her!

I on the other hand, see the anchor as a useful stabilizing tool - if you can untangle the impediments to using that tool correctly.

What a brilliant response, John. Thank you. Informative, and with depth. And you even responded to my Village People joke, just as I had expected.
Thing is, I'm a tat prude myself. Anything permanent done to the body I have major issues with, alhough I would accept the surgical removal of unsightly birthmarks.
For ages I even refused to have my ears pierced, not until I was 36, but by then it had become an issue since I was making earrings for people and could never try them on myself and show them off.
Also, having observed myself go through various stages of growth, in fashion terms, I always knew that whatever tattoo was cool one year would annoy me a year later.
Also, aren't most tattoos decided on while people are out on late nights, inebriated, and under peer pressure? Anyway, her tattoo here will serve one purpose, that's for sure- it will take the attention away from her tits and bum.

Last nights dream, we were in radio contact with each other as part of this worldwide radio/radar tracking system, somebody was shooting down ufos, ones that we understood to be friendlies, at the end one comes down in my area, 1inmany is shouting over the speaker that it's coming my way, I track it, determine it's path and where it will crash, then I'm out flying to the location on a search and rescue, I get to the vehicle which is badly damaged and get the thing to open up it's side, the being inside is injured, but not visibly and I teleport directly into (carmody's) a healing pool of water, she is unconscious and I fumble for a while to keep her face above water while removing her garments because I know the water must be making full contact with her body, once that's accomplished I start moving through the water in these wide, slow sweeping circles, careful not to let the water cover her face, this goes on for a while and eventually she begins to slowly regain consciousness, and when she makes eye contact I wake up

Years ago the same thing happened to me, twice, actually, once with a motorbike and once with a bus.
I still can't believe that in neither case was anyone injured. The bus company paid for all the repairs.
There was an older dent I had caused, reversing out of a parking bay and hitting a rock hadn't seen as it was too low, and they fixed that too, at the expense of the bus company's insurance. That was the only positive that I could see had come out of it.
I'm sure there were more, like, some mechanic getting a job.

And, yeah, I got my surrender lesson, and my future mother-in-law who was in the backseat of the car could make her decision that her son would be ok if he married me because I stayed so calm throughout the incident.

Hmm, I'm sure glad no one was hurt in your case, Jeanette.

Good Morning :)

The dawn is about to break. It is cool still, will be over 100F today. At this time of the morning, possibilities are wide open. I have enjoyed analyzing the Einstein picture and subsequent discussion this morning. And I have an inkling, now, why I have been waking up at the "witching" hour. I feel empathy for you, donk, and wish I had some wonderful insight to share with you. For now, I can only offer my loving intent for the situation to be resolved for the highest possible good and that it leave both of you with a feeling of peace and love rather than fear and turmoil. I hold all of you in my heart this morning, wrapping my protective wings around you and sharing my light the best I know how.

I hope with all my being that M's mood flips soon. I, too, am struggling with surrender, but not the same way you guys are. M is 16, and that is a tough age. Add bipolar, and, well, she is several teens and I never know who I will meet with my good morning snuggle. The no-nonsense mom in me could whip her into shape, but that wouldn't be right. She is not taking her medicine correctly, if at all, and the no-nonsense mom could make her take it, but to what end? Who wins there? What is the boundary, what is the point at which she becomes responsible for her own health? I choose to take each opportunity to stay close to her rather than push her away to the point that I have no influence. Unfortunately, that would be the lose-lose of forcing anything at this point. Sitting back and influencing her in a positive way at every turn takes a measure of letting go.

The pond is gurgling, the fan is whirring. Cars occasionally vroom by in the distance. The shadows fall on the porch from the light in the kitchen. The air smells clean and fresh as I await my glimpse of prism dew.

All my Love,

Might that have to do with the mind being weaker at that time of day? Because when I set the alarm for astral travel at that time.... I feel that my mind is too weak to do the projection. Weaker as later in the day that is.

That is the time in the body/mind rhythm when there is the least distraction, and so the opportunity for the most clarity, focus, and depth. When in the Zen Monastery, we rose at around 2:30 AM, did some chanting, and then meditation till about 5:30, when we had a small meal and began our work-day. It was great, but when I left and went back to the "World", I slept in till about 4:30 AM for quite some time, since I am lazy by nature. Mazie gets up usually around 4 AM, because she loves that time of day before dawn, and also enjoys watching the sunrise.

I have covered the physics and the metaphysics of the story behind this 3-5 am issue before, in various threads. one would have to do a search on my handle, Carmody ,and 'the witching hour'. If done - the data, complete with images and metaphysical connecting tissue, etc, will all be in the results.

I'll cut to the chase.

inter-dimensionally, if you could see the energies, at 3:15 am at night, you'd see a spiral in the sky, sticking out, away from the earth, the size of the earth, like the view from the inside of a tornado. Like the eye of a hurricane, but spiraling out from the earth, toward the outer rim of the solar system.

This.....If you could see those energies.

what this means is that this 3:15 (approx) time, in your local area, the ability to be psychic or have psychic sensitivity is at it's peak or highest, or most complimentary, and with the least noise or interference.

Essentially, if one wants to dream/function properly, according to standard human design parameters... one must be in bed and sleeping/dreaming before 3:15am.

This is (part of) why it is chosen to be 'the witching hour.'

I myself, when left to my own devices, tend to do the 2-sleep cycle. I sleep in a chair, ie, pass out for a few hours or more, then wake for a while, then head to a true bed type sleep.

What I specifically do with those two sleep cycles, I'll keep to myself. :crazy_pilot:

~~~~~~~~

it has to do with the earth's umbra or shadow, in the shape of a cone, and how the energies are lensed and gated at that particular local time. Local to the person and area.

Also, that is the time that the body is in it's most deep sleep, so..it is easier to reach the meditative state, the one where the body is truly still and the mind could be wandering and awake, with little to no bodily interference.



I had read all of Your posts in the past regarding this, Carmody...
Thanks once again!

It just never ceases to amaze me how I was doing these things naturally/intuitively at the onset of 2007 when my vibration went sky high...I am still in awe and my gratitude immense. There were many nights when I would simply be in the back yard gazing constantly and consistently at the starlit sky above and brought to a trance state. I would then go to bed at or just before this 3 am time slot and go into vision dreaming...my sleep state/ dream state seemed to be all wrapped together for a good portion of that year...energy abounded not needing much sleep and taking long nature walks about every day. I had to 'do it' to pass along the experiences to all in my life interested in any way so that they may do the same in their own ways in their own time.

:jester: The jokes on me...
Today I ate crow after one of my jokes backfired on a coworker...anyway I certainly felt bad andmade my appologies, but it has always been a struggle to get over the feeling if I unentionally hurt another individual when I didnt mean to...so upon reflection if I hurt anyone here I'm sorry...

edit: sorry benevolentcrow no pun intended...;)

:wave: Mojo,

Thanks for your post. Just so you know...we're good, always will be. http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/smileys/big-smile2-smiley.gif (http://emoticoner.com)

I like the jokey side of me, but it does back fire with people that are not marshmallow-y. And for those that really need for me to "eat crow" (sorry Benevolent Crow) well it says volumes about them. And that I can live with.

I wanted to research something about how we need more laughter, health benefits and more specifically, the psychology of why some do and some don't respond. But my attention span said, "Nope." So I stopped at this great article:

I use #2 a lot, and I'm always refining the last two.

“Playful Communication in Relationships (http://www.helpguide.org/mental/eq7_playful_communication.htm)”

Playful communication helps you:

- Connect to others. Your health and happiness depend, to a large degree, on the quality of your relationships—and laughter binds people together.
- Smooth over differences. Using gentle humor often helps you broach sensitive subjects, resolve disagreements, and reframe problems.
- Feel relaxed and energized at the same time. Laughter relieves fatigue and relaxes your body, while also recharging your batteries and helping you accomplish more.
- Overcome problems and setbacks. A sense of humor is the key to resilience. It helps you take hardships in stride, weather disappointment, and bounce back from adversity and loss.
- Put things into perspective. Most situations are not as bleak as they appear to be when looked at from a playful and humorous point of view.
- Be more creative. Humor and playfulness loosen you up, energizing thinking and inspiring creative problem solving.

Some bullet points in the article: Laughter helps you stay healthy; Mental health benefits of laughter and humor; Mental health benefits of laughter and humor

Good Morning :)

The dawn is about to break. It is cool still, will be over 100F today. At this time of the morning, possibilities are wide open. I have enjoyed analyzing the Einstein picture and subsequent discussion this morning. And I have an inkling, now, why I have been waking up at the "witching" hour. I feel empathy for you, donk, and wish I had some wonderful insight to share with you. For now, I can only offer my loving intent for the situation to be resolved for the highest possible good and that it leave both of you with a feeling of peace and love rather than fear and turmoil. I hold all of you in my heart this morning, wrapping my protective wings around you and sharing my light the best I know how.

I hope with all my being that M's mood flips soon. I, too, am struggling with surrender, but not the same way you guys are. M is 16, and that is a tough age. Add bipolar, and, well, she is several teens and I never know who I will meet with my good morning snuggle. The no-nonsense mom in me could whip her into shape, but that wouldn't be right. She is not taking her medicine correctly, if at all, and the no-nonsense mom could make her take it, but to what end? Who wins there? What is the boundary, what is the point at which she becomes responsible for her own health? I choose to take each opportunity to stay close to her rather than push her away to the point that I have no influence. Unfortunately, that would be the lose-lose of forcing anything at this point. Sitting back and influencing her in a positive way at every turn takes a measure of letting go.

The pond is gurgling, the fan is whirring. Cars occasionally vroom by in the distance. The shadows fall on the porch from the light in the kitchen. The air smells clean and fresh as I await my glimpse of prism dew.

All my Love,

and Belle, thank you for enjoying my posts, thank you for expressing it so I know it, too :)

Hello 1inMany,
Your post hits me deep, deep in my heart. Every sentence. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/grouphugg.gif

Love,

[mojo]

Thank you WCBD it's pretty much what happened yesterday....and today's a new day and we can save absolution for when I really mess up...;)

[benevolentcrow]

There is just too much good stuff out there on the information highway, I think I need to keep my car parked in the garage!

[donk]

Attempts to do so will cause the adherence of a karmic burden.

Yikes, I kinda lost sight of that...


It may very well be that the more important battle is taking place in a section of the battlefield that has not properly yet been explored.

Indeed, I did not lose sight of that. Though this is one of the immediate practical problems I have been working--our home (rented, will be about a year in a month) seems to have more energy than most places, and specifical seems to be home to "entities/attachments" that are specific to that location (not to discount the issues upon issues and attachments of my gf).

I have been on kind of a recon mission, and feel that is the "intelligence" that I have worked toward. I was trying to get someone, either physically (I have few friends though that are sensitive or even open to other planes of existence) or remotely (I am not so familiar with this, especially in any practical sense) to confirm. After recent events I have not been as anxious to have this "confirmation", I am comfortable with what I've learned and experienced enough to feel that I am right on that.

Now would the next step be to get out of dodge? Not easily practical, the lease does come up in October, however the place is amazing. Though she had "made a deal" (I know, not a good idea and I told her as much) with whatever is tormenting her (increasingly giving her specific unmistakable messages that not to leave) that if they made it affordable, we would stay. The landlord seems to have accepted the offer of dropping rent nearly 25%...yikes again!

I did not find anything you said to be cryptic, and appreciate the insight.

[1inMany]

Thank you, WCBD, you sweet, sweet soul.

:hug:

I second the gratitude to Ulli for creating a safe space...I know I express this from time to time, but can gratitude be expressed too much? I think not. I have grown so much, I have changed and developed and learned and this whole experience has been incredible (though not all enjoyable)...because of this Village. Because of each person who has shared this space, whether guest or in stealth mode or visible or known...no matter.

:angel:

[1inMany]

donk, I'm just curious here. Have you smudged your place? Used sage to spiritually release/remove old energies hanging around from previous residents?

[donk]

For now, I can only offer my loving intent for the situation to be resolved for the highest possible good and that it leave both of you with a feeling of peace and love rather than fear and turmoil. I hold all of you in my heart this morning, wrapping my protective wings around you and sharing my light the best I know how.

i thank you for that, and think it helped. I try to stay awake longer than V, so that she does not have to face whatever alone--fear comes to her when I fall to sleep.

Instead of the nightmares or visions she usually has, last night in her sleep she chirped in her playful, joyful voice "LOOK! LOOK!" like she saw something amazing. I waited to make sure not to interrupt anything else she may say, then gently said "what do you see?".

I could not say she was asleep. Nor awake either, guess she was somewhere in between. She says in an "awake" voice, I see a picture in my mind, lots of beautiful puppies.

I tear up now as I did then, thinking about you all and everyone I asked for love and support. Thank you.

[donk]

And as for bipolr teens, I wish I had something insightful to say to you about that. I attract them (my girl seems textbook, my ex has bipolar texts written on her...I can't get on a bus without meeting a woman that tells me their bipolar within 5 mins of conversation--guess that says something about me, eh?)...but I cannot call it on how to help them.

To let them "be them" is often dangerous. I found the only thing you can do is constantly question them about WHY they are doing (feeling/saying/thinking) what they are doing, and try to get them to do that themselves. I am sending what love I can your way, and peace to M.

I second the comment that your writing is touching...

[donk]

We did smudge it, which helped a bit. I never seen that done before, it was amazing. A Wiccan friend did it, and when she got to certain the thing blew up in her hands!

At one point, I watched fear grow in V, the Wiccan was in next room over where we heard her yelp at her hand getting burned. I can't see spirits or anything but from v's reaction I "saw" every damn invisible thing in the hose "rush into her", it was so wild...I NEVER expected to see the fire's reaction like that.

It wasn't great cuz at that time I was intensely willing (forcing) her in my thoughts to get her **** together, as she was uncharacteristically but starting to form of habit of putting herself in front of my kids or disregarding their feelings, so my will and intent and not exactly fear...ok, fear I guess--that she need to change this or I gots to go...

My friend reminded me I need to listen to her. I was, but with the protective daddy filter. I let go, I realized, I can't will anyone to do ****, it's making stuff worse, just don't worry about it (surrender). The energy of the house instantly lightened (I was told, I can't feel it). The Wiccan had to come back a day later to finish, and mentioned it, and my sensitive friend said the same thing

I try to constantly remind myself of my responsibility in all of this.

And yeah--I need another smudge. There's one sitting on the counter actually, for some reason I haven't gotten around to it. Guess cuz I wanted to research--what are some good suggestions...I never did it myself before. I know I need to focus my intent on love and light, any good mantras or prayers or anything to make it more effective?

[1inMany]

I never did it myself before. I know I need to focus my intent on love and light, any good mantras or prayers or anything to make it more effective?

I am not the expert here, hopefully this will reach out and get the attention of the pros. I will gladly share some things I learned in my own process of figuring out the smudging thing. One is there is no need to fear, just respect. And another is that you can do it yourself if you simply believe you can. Third, it is a helluva lot simpler than you think. I hesitate to share any how-tos because your situation is different from mine.

Okay, pros, it's all yours :)

Last nights dream, we were in radio contact with each other as part of this worldwide radio/radar tracking system, somebody was shooting down ufos, ones that we understood to be friendlies, at the end one comes down in my area, 1inmany is shouting over the speaker that it's coming my way, I track it, determine it's path and where it will crash, then I'm out flying to the location on a search and rescue, I get to the vehicle which is badly damaged and get the thing to open up it's side, the being inside is injured, but not visibly and I teleport directly into (carmody's) a healing pool of water, she is unconscious and I fumble for a while to keep her face above water while removing her garments because I know the water must be making full contact with her body, once that's accomplished I start moving through the water in these wide, slow sweeping circles, careful not to let the water cover her face, this goes on for a while and eventually she begins to slowly regain consciousness, and when she makes eye contact I wake up

god bless the fae

Terence Mckenna had the best Raccoon story.

He was growing his own mushrooms in jars of fermenting rye on his porch,
and one night he heard a racket and went out to find some Raccoons that had
figured out how to open the jars. They looked up at him, standing on two legs,
holding the jars with myclieum crumbs covering their faces.
He backed off, and left them too it, and within a short time they were
squawking and squealing as the mushrooms kicked in. ...
Low doses of Psilocybin increases arousal..

When he tells this its very very funny....

I found it. I found the word I needed. I'm grateful beyond measure. Sometimes the simplest is the best answer. You know what the word is? Amen. That's all I needed. And this is what I did with it.

We rejoice in the Love and the Light and the Unity and the Energy of the One Infinite Creator. We are grateful. (Here it is, just so you don't miss it:) Amen.

Freakin' A!

And then, I wept. It was a beautiful moment.

Thank you, PurpleLama, from the bottom of my heart for sharing this invocation. I know, it probably is not exactly what you shared, but the moment was right and I didn't want to mess it up with flipping through papers or web pages looking. I stayed in the moment and spoke (out loud!) from my heart.

Update from Mike, everyone has now signed off on the "term sheet" including the investors, the buyers (Mike et al) and Boss!!! Can you believe it? I'm so excited for him, I cannot even contain this!

one of the immediate practical problems I have been working--our home (rented, will be about a year in a month) seems to have more energy than most places, and specifical seems to be home to "entities/attachments" that are specific to that location (not to discount the issues upon issues and attachments of my gf).

Perhaps, you should allow your GF to read some of these posts?

The one I wrote here struggled to make it onto the forum. I rattled it in as it was occurring to me and then had to go through a number of revisions - LOL, however I am glad I finished it before you read it.

and, synchronistically unbeknownst to me, read that today is John Cage's 100th Birthday: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/arts/culture/la-et-cm-john-cage-100th-birthday-20120904,0,7416688.story

I have a great friend that is part of the on-going production of John Cage's composition in Halberstadt, Deutschland, Organ2/ASLSP (AS SLow aS Possible), a composition for organ that will end in the year 2640, Gottwillig! It began on Cage's 89th birthday, 5 Sept. 2001, and was written to last 639 years. Each note in the piece changes only after the duration of many months. A seventeenth month long pause preceded the first note! Talk about patience, perspective, and silence! Oooooommmmmmm.......

Happy 100th Birthday Mr. Cage!

Zoologist Arthur Anker, Ph.D., from Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, was studying Venezuelan insects and wildlife in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region when he photographed this unknown moth on January 1, 2009. See his flickr images at “Venezuelan Gran Sabana”
and “Neotropical Moths.” Neither Dr. Anker nor cryptozoologist blogger Karl Shuker, Ph.D., nor anyone else so far knows the moth's scientific name or even the genus to which the furry creature belongs.

“You are Perfect” from “Daily Wisdom”
by: Rachel Willis from Archangel Michael.

http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Photoshop/rainbow-1.JPG

This arrived at 2:00 am. Looks like Archangel Michael took Benevolent Crow's cue.

"Just as a rainbow differs in its location, range and depth of colour shade, and glorious span, so too each light being on the planet, be they human or animal.



Each soul is uniquely colourful, and blended, crafted and gifted with numerous individual hues that bring the perfect whole for the purpose and duration of their journey. 



Please never doubt or question your magnificent colourful nature, it is deliberately beamed outward for a reason whose light, power and effect can NEVER be challenged. You are perfect, you always have been and shall be forevermore, so glow your brilliant light shades with your head high and smiles that beam from your heart onto your face."


Continued awareness of Light, that lights your day.
With love,
Paula

Part of Carmody's quote:

"We have to move beyond written words in our conversations.

We have to move beyond emotions in our conversations.

We have to move beyond voice in our conversations.

Each of these things always results in a communication that occurs in a layer that is one step lower in rumination, contemplation, and action, etc.

In order to have a state of communication and concerted directed action and life that is perfected and working in the so called 3d and real world..in order to eliminate the 'one step down result-effect' of any form of 3d real world communication and act of togetherness..we have to start and enact it consciously.... from one step higher.

Now, what would that one step be?

Think for a few seconds. Shouldn't take more than that.

That's it.... you got it....

The communication needs to to be at the dimensional-psychic level.

And that is the only way you will ever master this 3d reality thing. One way, and one way only."

This is shiny and simple. Loved it Big C! :wave:

Thought I'd Share This With The Village.

The Farmers Well

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and happily trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up. Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
Free your mind from worries - Most never happen.
Live simply and appreciate what you have.
Give more. Expect less.

Greetings, Flash!

I know what you mean! I've been trying to drop a few pounds, while Mazie has been trying to gain some. I ate a piece of the pie after dinner the other night, and the next day I had lost a pound. Great, I thought, so yesterday I had a piece for breakfast, thinking I was safe. Well, the pound is now back.This got me pondering the mechanics of the pursuit of happiness, so that became the subject of my latest blog post, here:

A recent study has shown that some birds, such as the Western Scrub Jay, will perform 'funerals' and show signs of mourning for a dead bird. Interesting.....

...was anyone in attendance for the funeral of the last dodo?


He arrived at the island as a shipwrecked mariner. He was half-crazed by dehydration and hunger, having endured nine days adrift in a longboat drinking only his own urine. Now, as he stepped ashore on a small islet off the east coast of Mauritius, Volkert Evertszoon rubbed his eyes in disbelief. The islet was home to an extraordinary flightless bird that waddled along the beach in the most undignified fashion and could be easily caught by grabbing its feet. Volkert and his fellow survivors from the crippled vessel, Arnhem, could scarcely believe their luck. Here, on the shores of Ile d’Ambre, was enough food to keep them alive for months. What neither he nor his shipmates realised was that they would go down in history as the last eyewitnesses of the hapless dodo, a bird that would very soon be extinct. Indeed, it is more than likely that their feasting on the Ile d’Ambre’s dodos, in February, 1662, led to the bird’s tragic demise.

Osprey fishing ... I was raised on a lake and one of my favorite things to observe was Osprey fishing - I didn't get to see it often but I saw some absolutely spectacular displays of "dive-fishing" - as they do.

For those not familiar, Osprey is a medium sized raptor with large powerful wings and massive feet / talons and a thin streamlined body in a black and white feathery package - one of my favorite birds of all time.

I saw one do about a 100ft dive almost straght down into a deep part of the lake - it was underwater for about 5 seconds when finally a head popped up and he just swam there in one spot for a while trying to catch his breath but also trying not to be pulled under by the massive fish he had caught in his talons. After about a minute of waiting for his catch to die, he attempted to fly off but was still struggling with the weight of the still wriggling fish and skipped accross the water for a while before getting enouhg altitude. His catch must have been his equal in weight -- thoroughly impressive. The video below isn't quite that impressive but is still if you've never seen an Osprey fishing before .. enjoy!

EDIT: Ha! I never even noticed the bird theme going here -- more sync! I like to think of birds as ascended dinosaurs. The earth is never not ascending as long as the collective consciousness behind the existing fauna is learning and expanding. My 2 cents ;)

Greetings, Village!

All Noah's tests came back negative, he's fine, according to his doctors. My Pedicatric Anesthetician of a sister is cautious though because she had lymph node issues as a child and wants to make sure all his bases are covered, as doctors told my parents she was fine for years and she wasn't.

But I have the feeling all is fine. The highest potentialities in this case have been served, as the incidence has informed me of other threads of interaction of both a high and low nature, which is good as it is always best to be apprised of as many undercurrents as possible in life situations. I must always act according to my own highest potentiality no matter where others are coming from. I never know what that's going to look like though until it happens. LOL

Thank you all for your attention and love, I'm sending out gratitude and love to each of you. Blessings to One and All.

Hi all :)

Peanut needs some healing energies, please. She asked that I even get my friends involved, which is quite...surprising. She has some cold sores in her mouth, along with a positive strep test. So her throat and mouth are causing her a lot of pain. She is on antibiotics, and using sea salt washes and gargles, but the virus part isn't budging. Oddly, these cold sores appeared at the same time a cut on her finger (which she got fishing) started showing signs of infection. Doctors are no help, she has seen two so far. She was headed to the emergency room tonight but they told her the wait was long. Little One did not need that experience.

Thank you, my friends :) With Much Love,

Well referenced Bob, thanks.

One of the most intriguing points of research, imM (in meiner Meinung), listed in Wilcock's Source Field Investigations is the occurrence of extinct flora. He recounts Edward Gorouvein's research on an extinct flower found in Russia (on page 152 of thet quoted text), the Ciba-Geigy experiments, and don't forget the Wolemi pine tree in Australia (http://www.wollemipine.com/). This could also be occurring with fauna, possibly in cases with crypto animals, who knows. Bob, you referenced Dr. Karl Shuker . I always check his blog (http://karlshuker.blogspot.com/) and also Loren Coleman's Crytpomundo blog (http://www.cryptomundo.com/). I'm very fascinating with Cryptozoology. Maybe even the poodle moth is a resurgence of past, or nascent, DNA foaming forth from the torsion fields. Regardless, as Solomon is quoted, "There is nothing new under the sun (I'll leave out the vanity and vexation part - not sure how I feel about that)."

Incoming!!!!!

Let her find some personal space and time in which she may bring herself to stillness, relaxation and quiet.

Let her ask for guidance, blessing and protection.

Let her "open" to the high energy on offer, for the highest and best outcomes and healing.

The energy will do its work anyway and the above is by no means mandatory, but if done it will be extremely helpful in many ways - including a few interesting indirectly connected ways as I am sure you can imagine.

Forgiveness, “Daily Wisdom,” by: Rachel Willis from Archangel Michael


http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii610/WhiteCrowBlackDeer/Zen/IMG_2034.jpg


Forgiveness of self actually equates to forgiveness of life for gifting you the lesson that the 'transgression', 'mistake' or 'misdemeanour' creates.



At no point is the Universe - or indeed your soul path - ever wrong. Both work perfectly to enact divine timing, your unique life purpose and healing opportunities (both for yourself and others) for the betterment of ALL humanity.



There are no wrongdoings, simply choices that lead to effects that create learning, wisdom and insights. So forgive yourself for ANY perceived ills or blame, you move on to become a greater human being replacing the burden of blame with acceptance of self, life's perfection, your heart's wisdom and your soul's pure light presence.

Blessings of Light, that light your day.
With love,
Paula
