Here and Now...What's Happening?

What a heartwarming story this is about a reunion between old friends who'd been separated for over 20 years. It gives one pause in recognizing how we are all truly one Loving family of travelers, trying to find our way Home, and helping our Beloved companions along the way:

[Flash]

Good Morning All,

This morning I awaken pondering the role of genetics in depression and anxiety, and if that influence can be overcome. I'm not sure it can. After my third or fourth episode of weeping yesterday, the circumstances that led me to Effexor in the first place came rushing back. It was right after my Mother passed on. I had never taken anything for depression before that, and I don't remember needing any chemical help until that point. Her passing was sudden. We took her to the hospital one night, and three days later she was gone. That shook my world at the time, but that is not an unusual reaction to the passing of a parent. What was unusual, though, is that I cried for days. One day after another, and I could not stop. A few weeks later, I was still sobbing uncontrollably most hours of every day. Several months passed like this. I began to worry I would never stop.

I went to the doctor, a general practitioner who I adored at the time, and I remember not even caring that I was weeping in the waiting room. I managed to get a few sentences out with the doctor, and that was about it. He explained that we all have "reserves" from which we pull in times of crisis, and dealing with M's bipolar had exhausted mine so that I simply had no reserves any more. It's been 8 or 9 years now, and over that time I have tried a few different anti-depressants but Effexor was the only one that seemed to be right for my body.

This is the first time I've simply wanted to allow myself to find a natural balance. This morning, though I am deeply concerned that my body doesn't really have a balance. What if I, by some miracle, live through the process of getting all of this chemical out of my body only to find that I am naturally a sad and depressed, weepy person unable to function?

It doesn't help my concern that I finished Book V of LoO a couple of nights ago, either. Now I am wondering...when my inner light shines brighter, and the loyal opposition is attracted to that light, will I know what's what? I doubt it.

So, all these things are swirling, and I am already missing the part of me that is bubbly and perky and hums to myself all day. :(

I'm trying, as now it takes real effort, to be grateful and strong and focus on what I know, clinging to my anchor as I see myself dip into seas of emotion that feel unnatural.

Love,

Many, a long depression, has you had with your mother's passing, or maybe some others that were not diagnosed before because milder, changes the neuronal pathways in the brain. The brain learns to connect neurons that will play together the tunes of depression.

Anti-depressant are good to make you perk up and hopefully get out of it. They are mostly good right at the beginning of a heavy depression to ensure that the neuronal pathways encouraging depression over and over again are not formed. Taken later they may perk you up but they won't change neuronal pathways already established. Later on, you have to do both, anti-depressant and psychotherapy, in order to retrain your brain to reconnect its neurons differently, not to dive into depression again later on.

There is also always a possibility for external factors, such as mild heavy metal poisoning or the like that would make you get depressed (or onset of diabetis which was my case, that went undetected for years - everytime my blood sugar is unkowingly up, I get depressed, this is how I know to check it up). This had to be checked as well.

Hope this helps, this is up to where it is in science actually. Personnally, I am always careful with anti-depressants because they also can play havoc with your brain chemistry. But it is better to take them than losing one's life for example. imho

Now I am wondering...when my inner light shines brighter, and the loyal opposition is attracted to that light, will I know what's what? I doubt it.

If you are being honest with yourself you will easily spot it. The essential clue is to pay attention any time that you feel that you are being manipulated in some way.

That said, a lot of glamor attaches to this psychic warfare stuff. If its the catalyst you need you will get it. If it is not you wont. If you decide to attract that kind of situation into your life, then you can succeed.

I would hope you don't worry too much about it. If you are, I posted some information here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?11264-LLResearch-Psychic-Attack) and there is lots more on this forum.

My rule of thumb is if I don't use/wear it for one year, out it goes. Always donate the items I no longer need.

I have really pared down my use of "stuff" and don't buy much (other than food) anymore.

It is very freeing to let go of useless possessions.

Two days ago my little grand-daughter, Ryder (turning 1 year old on October 17th), who lives right next door to Bob and I with her mother and brother, spoke her first full sentence, and she spoke it to me. She said (and I'm over the moon thrilled with joy!), to me, this: "I Love you." I Love you! Her first sentence ever spoken ever and it was one such as this. Ryder is a darling hearted being, and we love her beyond words.

[1inMany]

I would hope you don't worry too much about it.

Yes and No. I am not dwelling on it, if that's what you mean. I simply feel like I am not in control of my emotions as much as I was even a week ago. I intuit it is important to stop and give these emotions room to breathe, to be. And typically after breathing they float away on a cloud. I just want to be careful that I do not allow anything negative, emotions I'm speaking of but truly anything negative, to root.

My focus, each hour actually, is that this time is different. I am excited about the opportunities that lay ahead, who I am realizing I am, and the process of transformation (even though, yes, it can be quite difficult). I try to allow thoughts and feelings to come and go, and when they are sitting with me or consuming me, I look to the Angels. If I still see them, which I do (and hope I always will), I talk to them. Of course, if I'm in earshot of anyone I talk to them in my head...but really, really loud so they can hear over all the ruckus.

This will be different. This will be shedding the old and embracing the new. The balance will be here! I said so, and so it is.

I passed the tree I understood.
And today, when I passed the tree, she felt happy :)

Marieke heard her communicate to her that she wishes to have the ground beneath her cleared of the compost belt that was there.
We promised her to make work of that, but we forgot about it, because it wasn't high on the 'to do' list.
1,5 years later, our son was crying in his bed, late in the evening, so I went up there for comforting him and talk about what was going on.
He told me that the big tree in the garden was so sad because we haven't cleaned the ground there. (Mind you, he didn't know anything about what was communicated between Marieke and the tree).

Was thinking I am not as strong as I should be so started my 100 push ups minimum workout.

Basically do 100 push ups each day minimum. Gonna add squats today as well. Most people say you should not workout everyday but that is if you want to make your muscles bigger. I don't. I want increased strength with little increase in size.

I am really just doing a variation of what I did in high school and my goal will be to do daily what Hershel Walker does ie. Instead of lifting weights, he has a daily regimen of 3,500 sit-ups, 1,500 push-ups and eight mile runs.

Got a long way to go before that.

You never told me you lived in heaven, or is that what 5D looks like?

[Carmody]

To a certain extent, size and power in musculature, are related. endurance is, er, more the idea of changing the body's ability to process. The repetition does get easier, regarding endurance training. Like training for size, endurance requires similar extremes of working on the body's ability to process.

That all dials, no matter where they are, are pushed to new limits. like a balloon that is pressurized, the surface tension is nearly equal in all areas. no spot is less important than the other. In endurance training, helping the body's ability to process becomes key.

What you will find in endurance training, is that the given motion becomes the trick. In size training, the stressing of the muscle is done in specific and complete ways, to alter the size. In endurance it is almost the same, but the trick is the peristaltic pumping action, to remove the lactic acid, to aid the flow....and the other half...the speed of the repetition, as a pair- becomes key. Control of the two, as a specific motion and stressing, that is the trick.

DeBron, I don't think I've done a total of 100 what are they called? Push ups (I know) in my entire life.
That is unless you call these push ups. http://www.pic4ever.com/images/wind14.gif (potatoes potAHtoes)

bear in mind, my current living room, that I'm sitting in, right now, is 28ft x 16ft, with full 8 ft ceilings.
....

And I use a really good knife. Less equipment. I just sprung for a toaster last year. I'm into bagels these days. Oh yes! a coffee pot, though trying to end that relationship. (and a microwave oven mostly to thaw out the bagels) If push comes to shove, coffee pot and micro out; juicer and water distiller, stays.

Books...my rule is/was only 100 (was in the thousands, that’s a conservative number). Thank you, iPad!

Clothes, once I left teaching, I saved thousands and space. Small business out of apartment =

My family loves to invite me to help pare down.

Never sure which discipline is more important, keeping the hoarding instinct in check, or doing physical exercise.

Astrologically speaking, the worst culprit is the moon, or the sign of Cancer, or the 4 th house.
Also Aquarius, ( Uranus) but there is a different motive...and the look of their garage is different than that of the moon hoarders.
Which Aquarius nothing is thrown away because of the crazy inventor image that is being nurtured.
More technology stuff than Cancer, who hoards general household and comfort zone things.
Taurus hoards too, because of the need to impress and be a good host...so there it goes into things of value, and beauty.
Taurus doesn't want change which would be inevitable when getting rid of things.
Stark minimalism belongs to the sign of Capricorn (Saturn restricts) also Virgo, who is careful about spending money in the first place. This is just a general idea...until someone knows their full chart it's hard to see if it is true.
My Leo mother has everything perfectly decorated, but she was a hoarder, and had many full closets in the end. She had several Cancer planets, and Mercury opposite Uranus....could not throw anything away. People thought it was because she had lost everything in the war. But truth is, she lost everything, because she was already like that before the war. If you throw nothing away, then fate will come and do it for you.
Life has to flow, but humans like to block that flow.

These were the first words spoken by my son, saying it back to my wife, when he was nine month old. Nobody believed us, but we both heard it, very clearly.

Try another Bahai prayer...the words are transformative. Google Baha'i and 'refresh and gladden my spirit'....
It is short but has never let me down....instant change in countenance.
Remember, when praying you are talking to yourself. The question is....which self?

Hi there Ulli. About 20 years ago Ronnie (RD Laing) was giving a talk at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh my home town. Five hundred people were there to listen to the talk about Holiness and Wholeness. The talk lasted about an hour and it was a very interesting one. Not only an interesting talk, but an interesting show as well. RD Laing had a microphone on a stand and had his two hands in his trouser pockets most of the time. Quite a casual posture you are thinking. Well errr, yes but what was so "casual" was he was playing with himself thoughout the entire talk.
The talk was organised by a Jungian Psychiatrist who was the daughter of another Jungian Psychiatrist who was one of Jung's students, who had recently passed on. After the "show" was over Ronnie was invited back to the lady doctors flat for drinks as were a few others including my two friends and my wife. When we arrived at the flat Ronnie was sitting on a chair in the kitchen where there was food on the table. At his feet were two young women around 21ish looking up to him as if he were God himself. I introduced myself and we shook hands, he had by this time removed his hands to where they could be seen. :p There were roughly 25 people there and no smoke was to be seen, obviously a no smoking house. No ashtrays to be seen anywhere. After about 10 minutes into conversation with Ronnie he asked me if I had any cigarettes and I said yes, but I mentioned that I didn't think smoking would be in order here. He asked me for one and I lit it for him, after all he was famous and also the guest of honour too. He authorised me to join him so I nervously did as he asked. The host after all was not going to repremand me and ignore Ronnie. We chatted for about an hour and almost smoked a pack between us. Then we went into the sitting room and joined the guests. In a lull between polite conversations Ronnie asked my friend where he could obtain two concubines for the night. WOWEE what an ice breaker it was. My friend replied that he was a married man annd had no idea where to find such a concubine let alone two. After that we all left and Ronnie walked down the street with a young lady on each arm! Ulli, what about that?

That fits right in with the other anecdotes I have.
One friend of mine, who was a photo journalist who had made quite a splash in the sixties when she worked for Nova magazine which now no longer exists.

She wanted to work for him as an assistant and he promptly gave her the job. She appeared on a Monday morning, ready for work, wearing her most expensive Missoni outfit, and was all excited. He had several patients staying at his home, each in their own room, which was locked from the outside. He asked her to go into one of these rooms and simply spend an hour with the patient.
There was no conversation ...and she lasted only a few minutes because the patient decided to piss all over her Missoni outfit. After that she warned people about getting a job with Ronnie.

When he retired from psychiatry, earlier than expected he gave an interview to another friend of mine, a brilliant columnist who was bipolar.
He told her that psychiatry could never cure anyone, and that it was usually the whole family who was crazy, including the ones who appeared most normal, and that the only answer was to have communities taking care of all of their members, lovingly. This touched me very deeply. This is the back story behind this Village, Here and Now. We all interact in such a way that we heal one another. Thanks, Ronnie. Thanks, Stan.

Hi 1inMany

I've been reading your posts on this and just wanted to offer you this perspective for consideration.

The depression/sadness which you keep experiencing goes beyond brain chemistry and genetics.

Each one of us incarnates into a human body to experience something which we choose for ourselves at a higher soul level. For some people it may be what we would label as desireable experiences - happiness, success, fame, wealth, love. For others we are here to experience what we would label as undesireable - sadness, loss, rejection, guilt, shame etc.

At the higher level of soul/self there is no desirable or undesirable. It is just all experience, carefully chosen by us for us as our lesson. We can call this experience we are here for, the core story of our life. When we get to the point where the experience is one of the 'undesirable', the lesson is getting harder but it is a lesson we are ready for.

There is no getting away from the core story that we are here for. Our life will become a magnet for this experience. Whatever we will do, we will find that we will get brought back to the same experience. It may manifest slightly differently each time but it will be just another facet of the same experience, if we look closely enough.

Now if this is a really undesirable experience we will do everything in our power to avoid the experience. We may become successful for a while in delaying the lesson but eventually the lesson will come back for us. It may not be this lifetime or the next but eventually there will come a point where what we intended for ourselves to experience, will have to be experienced.

At a higher self level we are patient with ourselves as we watch ourselves avoid what we came we. The HS understands that the lesson was a challenge and even the avoidance of the experience becomes a perfect experience in itself but at some point, during one lifetime there just comes a point where it is time to move on.

It's time to knuckle down and just take the lesson, so we give ourselves a push and that magnet which just attracts the experience in our life, works even more. The experience we have been avoiding gets racheted up to the point where we will not be able to avoid it any more - the only thing left will be to just experience it and be done with the lesson.

The angels that you are looking to are just your higher self in another form. Not only are they protecting you but they are giving you exactly what you want as a higher self, although as a human being you find this undesirable or think that something negative is at play.

Let's say for example your experience is something along the lines of sadness, what does it mean to experience it? I would guess you think that you have been experiencing it for far too long as it is but there is a difference between experiencing something and allowing it to fully express itself and experiencing something with an inner dialogue of resistance.

If this perspective that I am offering here resonates with you, here is a technique which you could use for learning how to experience your feelings.

When the sadness comes and the tears flow take yourself somewhere quiet where you can be alone and comfortable. Notice how attached to the sadness, there is an inner dialogue going on - it's saying why you are sad, how horrible it is, not this again, I need help, when is this going to be over, etc etc.

This is the mind pulling your attention away from the feeling. The feeling is presenting itself for you to experience and you can't fully experience it with attention on the mind and its dialogue. You may think that the sadness is in your mind but it is not, it's actually in your body.

Notice what the mind is doing but don't do anything about it. Simply shift your attention to your body to locate the feeling. Scan your body with your attention and find what is there.

It could be a feeling of pain, tension, resistance or just something not quite right. At this point the mind is likely to really kick up a fuss to get your attention back on the dialogue about what is going on. Just notice this and shift attention back again to the source of the feeling.

Put your hand on where the feeling is, as this can help to physically point out where it is to help focus attention, which will be being pulled away by the noise of the mind.

When you have it located, hone in with your attention with the precision you would if you were focused on threading a needle.

The mind may even start to talk about what you are now doing. Again leave that and shift the attention back to the feeling. As the feeling moves in your body, follow it with your hand. Keep the attention on it. The feeling itself may grow, this is what happens when it gets to express itself how it needs to without any resistance from the mind. Whatever the feeling does, just do the same, leave the mind alone and focus attention on the feeling.

This may take some practice to get to the point where you can truly allow a feeling to be and do what it needs to do. Resistance to it is a strong instinct from the mind but if you ignore the mind and focus the attention on the feeling you will find that you will learn to relax into allowing it to be exactly as it is.

This technique is tremendously powerful. It's unconditional love in action - unconditional love is often misunderstood. It's not about feeling good or better, it's about allowing everything to be exactly as it is.

What you are - your true nature, even beyond your higher self - is pure unconditional love.

This life for you is a challenge, exactly because you are ready for it :)

This line reminds me of a Dr. Seuss story, where an inspector needs another inspector to inspect him, and then the two in turn need another insoector, and so the line gets longer and longer.

Yet by retiring early Laing found his answer....hang out with normal, healthy people and be healed.

When I discovered Murphy's Law, it became a regular feature in my life that was hard to get rid of. And when I discovered synchronicities they started to multiply. Then the two combined into a nearly deadly brew.

Now I'm very careful what I want to do with my time. And who I wish to hang out with.

This, by the way, says a lot about all of you.
There, a free compliment.
We are becoming a mutual admiration society, and if such would spread beyond the boundaries of the Internet it might just produce the world we are all dreaming of.

He told her that psychiatry could never cure anyone, and that it was usually the whole family who was crazy, including the ones who appeared most normal,...

Ahhh..the Royals.

Yeah, my thought exactly. Could there be a better example?
And what about Jackie O's relatives?

[Flash]

Jenci, couldn't the lesson be sometimes, while having unconditional love for what is as you explained, couldn't the lesson be sometimes the fact that you have not listen to your body and feeling, they have transformed your body and you have to put it back in its most functional/healthy state?

Like having therapies while doing other things such as the hand following the feelings in the body - by the way, I have seen shrinks showing that one too, they are not all like Laing. Although I very often have my own hesitations about them, one of my moto being: tell me what you do for work, I will tell you what your hang ups are. We often take a profession to help ourselves in our own needs. The proof: Laing.

Found a bit about Jackie O's eccentric cousin...

WHO'S THIS "MOTHER" YOU KEEP GOING ON ABOUT?

Edie's mother, "Big" Edith Bouvier Beale, was the other main subject of the documentary "Grey Gardens." She too is a Goddess: Yoda-like and semi-exhibitionist ("I'm gonna get naked here in a minute, Edie..what do you think of that?"), with a vulgar sense of humor that clashes with her society-lady poses. Big Edith and Little Edie rant and shriek at each other all through the movie, and any time Edie dares to sneak into a room to speak with the documentary crew alone, one can easily hear Big Mama Edith screaming in the background, "YOO-HOO, OH EDIE! EDIE, YOO-HOO!" Mama Edith is dead now - she was 79 when "Grey Gardens" was filmed in 1975, and she died a year later. I read an article lately in which Edie said that when Mama Edith was on her deathbed, she told her daughter that she had nothing more to say because everything she wanted to tell the world was said in the movie made about them.

I have maintained for more than fifteen years, that Murphy's Law has Special Applications in the Picture Framing Business.

I read for years that Cayce went for photography as a profession, I didn't realize until I read his memoirs that photagraphy studio was euphemism for a picture frame shop. Humbling occupation, indeed.

1inMany, you might consider researching MMS.

http://humblemiraclemineral.com/

I've been taking it at a very low dose -I'm sensitive to everything and weigh under 120lbs. When I take supplements or make medicinal teas, I usually take half to a very low dose and spread it out. I wish I had known about MMS when my Mother passed. She died in a similar way as your Mother did. The pain and sadness were intolerable and the circumstances in my own life overwhelming.

I wanted to self-medicate -go out to the horse trails sit in a large oak tree and get inebriated; smoke half a joint and drink half a bottle of whiskey, but I had spent 7 years of my life doing that and it took another 4 to turn my-self around. I knew it wouldn't do me or anyone else any good if I did.

I think what I did do was probably far worse than drowning in a bottle of whiskey. I stuffed it (old programming) -for about 3 years after her death I was afraid to let anything come through or let go. Then one day I woke up and realized I was punishing my-self over something I had no control over and had nothing to do with in the first place. I had to let go. Slowly, for the last couple of years the feelings come. I don't put a face on them or try and stop them. I just feel.

Love and Hugs to you 1inMany

[Anchor]

Yes and No. I am not dwelling on it, if that's what you mean. I simply feel like I am not in control of my emotions as much as I was even a week ago. I intuit it is important to stop and give these emotions room to breathe, to be. And typically after breathing they float away on a cloud. I just want to be careful that I do not allow anything negative, emotions I'm speaking of but truly anything negative, to root.

Let go.

Can one really "control" emotions, I dont think so. Maybe we can grasp the causes and effects, but not the running of emotion itself. That said, suppression of them may be a cause of problems down the track.

It occurs that the pharmaceutical adjustment of your emotional/mental body may have cause some significant energy to get "damned" up - which is now releasing as you "open the floodgates". Tears are mostly harmless for that (unless you are driving or something like that!!).

I read you see the angels, but remember to ask them for help, etc... (I know, broken record).

We can stand in awe of such powerful beings, often deprecating the truth of our own power and not recognizing that. The angels will help you if you ask.



This will be different. This will be shedding the old and embracing the new. The balance will be here! I said so, and so it is.

This is so.

[DeDukshyn]

I had to look up who mother was:

Apple cider vinegar, otherwise known as cider vinegar or ACV, is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color. Unpasteurized or organic ACV contains mother of vinegar, which has a cobweb-like appearance and can make the vinegar look slightly congealed.

ACV is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys, among other things. It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. Bacteria and Yeast are added to the liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, and the sugars are turned into alcohol. In a second fermentation process, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria (acetobacter). Acetic acid and malic acid give vinegar its sour taste.[1]

Buying clear filtered ACV is like buying squeezable honey in a bear shaped container ... Just don't do it! The "Mother" is the nutrients

Here Ulli,

a good hot fire in my woodburning stove from last year -a little early yet here but the evening and mornings are cooler. It's wonderfully efficient and great for simmering teas. You can use ceramics on it as long as you watch the pot.

am going to experiment with JB's and DeDukshyn's soup recipes. Sounds delicious minus the meat and adding a base made with coconut milk. I love coconut milk and curry rice dishes.

Nora, I have discovered coconut milk too, it's wonderful. Do you make coconut milk soup? It has fresh lemongrass and a little chili oil, and you can put little dices of tofu if you like. T and I discovered it at the Thai restaurant and I had to find a recipe.

I'd love to hear what soups you make.

Love your wood stove picture ... very comforting. So good to see you posting.

Reading about energies being all damned up and I am writing to ask the Village help with a beaver problem my daughter is having. There's a little creek running through the property, a very nice place. So nice that the beavers have chosen to build a dam there. They have been cleaning up the creek everyday and the beavers rebuild everyday. A bit higher upstream, the creek is flooding and is getting too close to the house of the neigbours. They had to call the municipality, who will come and trap them and ... not good. Maybe if we gang up the beavers will finally listen and stop rebuilding the dam... dam! There's too many humans for their own good around that area.

Thanks from me and my dauther.

I'm in awe of this village of loving and caring souls. I love you all, very much. I am listening, and I am absorbing. I feel grateful to have found this place of wisdom and compassion, frolic and folly.

This day has been so awesome. I started with smudging, and I almost burned the house down. It's funny now, but let me tell ya...I was asking for help on that one. There was some stubbornness in there, so I ever so gently blew on the sage. That was fine until out of nowhere the glass dish, which was supposed to be perfect for this, burst. I dropped it, of course, upon being startled so. It had burning embers in it, which fell all over Em's bed. There were so many of them I was stomping them out on the floor, brushing them off the bed, and catching them (but how? I do not know as both hands were busy) out of thin air because about that time the sage really got to going, the string that was holding it together poofed. The sage started popping, which has never happened before and has not happened since and out of nowhere it started to billow smoke...like a chimney. It got so thick that I could barely see anything, because I really, really mean billowed, so I ran outside, hollering for help from the Angels all the way out, stuck the sage in the ground and said a reallllllly fast "please take care of this for me" to the earth...ran back in and grabbed a pitcher, filled it with water, ran through the house and dumped the water on the burning embers on the floor...still burning. I finally got all the burning embers to the puddle, but was fanning everything at the same time because I couldn't see. So anything not in the water would catch again...Em's blankets and sheets have little holes burnt in them, so after I washed them (of course, speaking of Murphy's Law, I just did this yesterday), I put them on upside down. I doubt she will notice. It took me forEVER to get that stuff out the doors and windows, and had to run to the store for more candles because the 5 I had burning, plus the incense, weren't touching it. The fan I had situated in the doorway to pull the smoke out kept changing direction on me. I'd run outside and shake the blankets, run back inside and the fan would be facing the wall. So, I'd turn it back to face the doorway, pull her sheets off and ran outside to shake them. I returned, and the dang thing was facing the other direction. The bitch came out...guess who won?

That was a blast!

After my shower, 4 loads of laundry, and filling up the house with light, love, and protection...or sugar and spice and everything nice... I felt great!

Symptoms have been present, like my head is a little fuzzy and I'm really sleepy...but I have had more energy today for the mundane than I have had in weeks.

I got to thinking. We villagers pitch in to help each other with big stuff. I think we create miracles on the little stuff, too. Every time I read something shared here, I connect with each of you. I think, also, that every time you read what I post, I feel it. I am not going to ask if that is possible, because I'm starting to believe it's true. Maybe nobody says a formal prayer, or sends good vibes, or shoots a ray of sunshine... I have had little messages today, and more than making me feel warm and fuzzy, I think each good thought had an impact on my soul.

I have cleaned the entire house and moved the furniture around in 2 rooms. Got rid of a bunch of junk, laundry on top of the, er, um, smudged items, went to the store, ran extra errands....all of which would have been impossible yesterday.

I love you guys.

You may be low on options - because you actually need them to move, and move an unnaturally large distance.

Talk to the beavers.

Explain it.

Ask the beaver over-soul guide to help you get your message across.

Engage your higher self as intermediary/translator as necessary.

Most 2nd density animals turning toward 3rd density expression are guided so they are communicable with, beyond the basic influence and training level. Just as there is Big Cat, Big Dog, there is Big Beaver - the intelligent aspect of the beaver over-soul, ready to guide those harvest-able 2nd density entity types.

Your loving intent is what counts here - no matter the outcome.

Please don't be attached to the outcome - there are no guarantees. (Unless you can operate on a much higher level of intervention, and if you were I must assume you would not be asking how on a forum like this!).

I think its an understandable reaction to want this.

Speaking for myself I am not persuaded of the link between one and the other. Furthermore if we cannot speak about our problems and stories, how can we ask for help ?

My suggestion is that 1inMany's smudging drama (which IMO came nowhere near to burning down her house as she is evidently well protected) is because the motive for smudging was worry about unknown things.

Sometimes it takes more than a few words to drive that message in.

An accident with fire may however do the trick - LOL

1inMany, what do you think?

Letting go of worry and expanding the faith is not the easiest thing to do at the best of times.

Sorry. I did think you were serious. Also I can see how it may be a valid concern.

People read enough crap on forums like this to actually manifest psychic disturbance in their lives. I saw some of that when the thuban thread was running on PA1 and also during the Charles drama in that long distant past of this forum.

Excuse me for not discerning correctly :)

Thanks for the lick !!

[ulli]

Sometimes I say things tongue in cheek, but there is a serious element, too.
I had felt a strong surge of empathy when WCBD shared earlier today about losing 90% of her stuff in a fire...
and so I saw a connection when I flashed on that image of the sparks in 1inMany's report.
The thing is, this is no longer a joke...where focus goes energy flows...
and we must all learn what it means to be responsible for our thoughts.
During these times we are all at different levels of awakening,
and I would never judge anyone who is horrified at people who seem to be jolly ...
from their perspective it must sound so callous and flippant, even.

Yet there is so much evidence out there that consciousness and mental imagery do bring about an instant reality
that it would be dangerous for someone like me to even dwell on disaster for any length of time lest I make it happen.

I want all Villagers to be safe and happy. And not only the Villagers, but all of mankind.
Even in a happy life there can be contrasts, and highs and lows, just not as painful as we are witnessing now in the war and hunger zones of the planet.

squirt guns go on strike
kite battles in the skies
pack up summer shorts
unpack winter clothes
coats and hoodies
tailgate picnics and parties
mismatched colored mittens
two left mittens
pumpkin and spice muffins and pies
apple and spice muffins and pies


Signs of Spring

hugging the winter good bye
turtles hitchin' a ride by the road side
peeper frogs sending morse code to each other
Canadian geese flying the northward skies
green grasses instead of hay
honeysuckles kissing bumblebees
flowers sharing their smells of joy
campfires dancing the night away
pussy willows pop-out with fuzzy fur coats
showers and rainbows overtaking the sky
worms tilling soil for pumpkin seeds to grow

So Paula is still learning how to speak ulli? Don't worry it took me a while, and I can even understand most of what Carmody says.....

[amandapoet]

Hi fellow villagers,
I still need to catch up on posts from the past two days, but I wanted to check in-- really feeling alone an stuck. Yesterday, my dad and I took Jonathan to meet with the DA to practice testifying in the courtroom--the whole thing was devastating. Jonathan when pressed to answer questions would start to fall apart and do everything he could to avoid talking about the actual abuse his father did. He even sai he didn't want to answer because it was embarrassing. The DA and children services believe the abuse happened, and were trying to get the charges filed before 10/1; which is when my husband has a hearing appealing the state/child protective services decision-- unfortunately for the simple reason Jonathan is too traumatized and too young testify to file the charges (which would have canceled the appeal hearing) and testifying at the state appeal hearing would be too traumatizing, the child protective services investigation that found the child abuse report to be indicated will be dismissed-- and my husband will not have it on his child abuse record.

So, now the DA has assured us that when Jonathan is able to testify in court they will proceed with filing the charges. Then on Oct. 11, we will have to go through the custody hearing. Apparently, the DA said the judge presiding over the custody hearing is the best for this situation and that she will testify that they believe the abuse happened and are delaying pressing charges until Jonathan can handle the courtroom and not be traumatized further. She also reassured me that even though the cps finding may be dismissed, the judge knows that it is only because of a technicality and will take into consieration the original finding. So with those facts I hopeful I will be able to keep my son safe from his father.

I know there has to be some plan or reason to why Jonathan could not do it now-- even though it seems like things aren't falling into place like I was hoping I have to trust and accept that they are falling right where they need to be.

And there have been other emotionally draining incidents the past couple days. My dad the only remaining close family member I have has been going through the antidepressant withdrawal process and has amplified his moodiness-- making him lash out at me especially saying the cruelest mean things. I can brush that stuff off, but because he was so angry with the whole court process and at what ex did, he also lashed out at Jonathan with the worst response. Fortunately, my son must have this shield thing going for him and only selectively heard the not so mean parts. Anyway, I need to get my family and I away from these emotional prisons--- just a few more 3d bureaucratic hoops to jump through to to be self-sufficient...so hop hop hop I go and moving on...

Now that is out and I can put some energy into developing the more spiritual parts of my self.

Hope the past couple days have been good for you-- I find out soon enough ...lol

Blessings,
Amanda

Beaver?

Beaver .....is off the scale stubborn. Beaver backs out of nothing. Give me dam, or give me death.

In Beaver's world, the two are literally the same.

Dam -- is life. No dam - is death.

capture and transplant is just about your only viable alternative, besides death. They don't know how to move, they only know how to make a dam, and survive.

edit:

Untold thousands have tried before you. Take heed of this warning.

So Paula is still learning how to speak ulli? Don't worry it took me a while, and I can even understand most of what Carmody says.....

Really! And yet it was Carmody that taught me double and triple speak...
not the other way round.

I do realize trust has to be earned, and maybe I have to wait a little longer.
Because if I insist that people understand and trust me
that might only increase their suspicion that I'm not being genuine and sincere.

True human life is Alchemical we need a catalyst to have Alchemy.

But back on topic....

I worked in a South Western art gallery:) for a time. Gave me a chance to meet the locals. The first piece of art I framed was a South Western water color painted in the style of a Bev Doolittle and given to me by one of the local art teachers. It had faces of the Ancestors painted in the background of mesas done in shades of beautiful twilight colors. I finished it with a deep corn flower blue matte and rustic red wood frame. I gave the painting to my brother.

Here are a some of Bev Doolittles' works.

yes, connections and premonition happen. it may have been the other way around. The knowing of Min1 about to possibly have a near miss. these echos travel both forward and backward in time, like ripples. Past is history, the record of the ripple. Premonition is the pre-echo.

Let me illustrate. I just had this happen. recall, those of you who may know, my grandmother passed a while back. An email from a few minutes ago, from/with my mother:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.....not taken care of other things yet,but I thought of this and was listening to it just before I read and during reading your email.

According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead, but then learned that it was not true.[1] The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized how powerful Hazel's solo was and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar. Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and "an emotional apocalypse of sound."[5]

The entire track was recorded in one take. The solo is mostly played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. Hazel's solo was played through a fuzzbox and a Crybaby Wah wah pedal; some sections of the song utilize a delay effect. This style would be revisited later in Standing on the Verge of Getting It On on the track "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts". A live version with full band accompaniment was released in 1997 on the album "Funkadelic Finest".

When I discovered Murphy's Law, it became a regular feature in my life that was hard to get rid of. And when I discovered synchronicities they started to multiply. Then the two combined into a nearly deadly brew.

omg.
Had a full load of that yesterday night.

The mood now is much better, as this (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?44989-Odd-music-thread-unclassifiable-strange-beautiful-music-goes-here&p=560188&viewfull=1#post560188)helps me recover from this utter madness i do "for a living".

Looking at the image, you'd might not guess that she's a Floyd fan.. and her favorite Floyd song?

[araucaria]

Sometimes I say things tongue in cheek, but there is a serious element, too.
I had felt a strong surge of empathy when WCBD shared earlier today about losing 90% of her stuff in a fire...
and so I saw a connection when I flashed on that image of the sparks in 1inMany's report.
The thing is, this is no longer a joke...where focus goes energy flows...
and we must all learn what it means to be responsible for our thoughts.
During these times we are all at different levels of awakening,
and I would never judge anyone who is horrified at people who seem to be jolly ...
from their perspective it must sound so callous and flippant, even.

Yet there is so much evidence out there that consciousness and mental imagery do bring about an instant reality
that it would be dangerous for someone like me to even dwell on disaster for any length of time lest I make it happen.

I want all Villagers to be safe and happy. And not only the Villagers, but all of mankind.
Even in a happy life there can be contrasts, and highs and lows, just not as painful as we are witnessing now in the war and hunger zones of the planet.

Just scrolled up this ‘night session’ as it appears from here.

I guess I was the first to mention the fourth element that goes with earth, air and water, but in the negative mode as a potentiality that was staved off before anything happened. It would seem that this ‘nothing happened’ has materialized into a ‘something happened’ (twice), even though my point was the value of providing instant help as shown by Peanut – in other words dwelling on non-disaster. I too ‘want all Villagers to be safe and happy. And not only the Villagers, but all of mankind.’ For a non-event to spawn an event is something else that needs to be studied.

However, we cannot continually be using euphemistic circumlocutions like ‘the fourth element that goes with earth, air and water’ when we are actually talking about a cycle that passes through four states. Take a drop of water, which is one of those elements experiencing the other three. It ‘starts’ in a cloud (air+water), latches onto a speck of dust to form a raindrop (air+water+earth), falls to the ground (water+earth), evaporates in the burning sun (fire+water) back into the clouds. The earth cycle can be similarly described from the viewpoint of the speck of dust. Etc. Holistically speaking, nothing is detachable from the rest.

I mentioned the Dice Man in an earlier post. Just to defuse any negative effects this may have, may I say that from what I have read so far, I’m not at all sure this book is for me and I shan’t be reporting on it. What attracted me to it in the first place was thinking of the famous Symbolist poem by Mallarmé, the first example of free verse, ‘Un Coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard’ (A throw of the dice will never abolish randomness). The theme of the poem is the nothingness of the non-event as I have just been describing it. The image is of the sea at night, an imagined shipwreck, nothing but the arm of the sinking captain clutching a pair of dice (will he throw them or not? It doesn’t matter), against a backdrop of the Big Dipper, and the sea shows nothing but a swirl of foam. And at the end it says, ‘Nothing shall have taken place but the place; except perhaps for a constellation’ - the constellation being the Big Dipper both as another potential place, a beyond, like a pair of dice showing a three and a four, and as the words on the page laid out in a totally original manner like a constellation. The final words are ‘toute pensée émet un coup de dés’ (every thought issues a throw of the dice).

I guess what I’m saying is that yes, ‘even in a happy life there can be contrasts, and highs and lows’, and that creative thought, making something out of nothing, is always going to produce a few surprises. Mallarmé also famously said ‘the word knife doesn’t cut’: apparently we are discovering that sometimes it can…

Any sailors out there? Just go for a long walk in the country if you must :)

I was testing a local Ormus maker's wares today, and took some before my biofeedback session.
I have been doing Alpha- Theta training for sometime now, and my brain is very resistant,
Alpha waves don't seem to want to budge. This is a very common ADD trait too, BTW.
Anyways, today i took a dose 10 mins before my hour long session and the results were
there on the EEG screen as clear as day. My Alpha waves were the highest yet, and they were
converging with my Theta, which is the aim of this training. I'm impressed.
I feel slightly wired, very focused and energized. My brain is a bit tired though, like it's had a
serious workout, which is a good sign.
My doc had never heard of Ormus and he was stunned by the results, so looks like i get to
educate him, which is always a bonus. But a very positive result to an experiment, will see if it
continues next week.

love to all

Jenci, couldn't the lesson be sometimes, while having unconditional love for what is as you explained, couldn't the lesson be sometimes the fact that you have not listen to your body and feeling, they have transformed your body and you have to put it back in its most functional/healthy state?


Hi Flash

I am well aware that I am at odds which what is usually discussed here and it is not my intention to be a thorn in the side of the village, so mostly I am quiet here about this but occasionally I think it is warranted to offer a different perspective and it may just be it is not intended for any village member but someone lurking somewhere who is coming to the realisation that while healing is working for other people, it is not working for them.

Not all of us are here to be healed. If there is a belief that because some people can change the course of their life for the better through healing, intention, fixing, manifesting then that must apply to everyone, then it is missing the point about human incarnation.

The Source manifests in human form 7 billion times to have 7 billion unique experiences - not to have the same experience multiplied 7 billion times.

We are all truly immortal beings of infinite power and possibilities and our existence stretches far beyond this 3D realm that we have manifested into form. Of course in this human form we can learn that we can tap into those higher aspects of ourselves, learn exactly what we are capable of and use those abilities to lift this 3D experience to a higher level but all those higher abilities are already what we are, it is not something we need to attain.

Our higher self incarnates into a 3D dense limited form because it wants to experience a raw, gritty, limited human experience not because it wants to experience the higher, eternal being experience. When we return to the Source we can see this, that this life we are living, is already perfect as it is, however 'bad' it appears.

To answer your question specifically, maybe the individual's lesson is to restore their body to its optimum health but I was writing to appeal to those who have tried this over and over and keep finding that whatever progress is made, they return back to the same old thing.

What I am suggesting is that when it gets to this stage, it goes way beyond the needs of the body and mind but rather the inner calling to return to the Source.

The Source is unconditional love - allowing everything to be as it is, no fixing, no healing, no manifesting, no intentions.....and that is why I was saying that the technique I suggested was so powerful because it aligns perfectly with the Source.

Ever heard sth in a known language, but in that moment you only heard rhythmic sounds?
Without any meaning to the 'words'; like you hear that melody for the first time.

Just happened to me again, only this time looking at text. Looked more like a painting.

'Fascinating'.

it is not my intention to be a thorn in the side of the village


Your perspective is much appreciated if I speak for myself Jeanette.

I'm beginning to understand that allowing everything to be at all levels offers ultimate freedom, though I get lost in wanting to fix things all the time and in many cases, I fail to see that this insight applies then and there too, so it is welcome to be reminded on the how and why behind it.

OMFG.

My brain is leaking.

--update--

I had not heard this before, and now I have.

I have experienced a profound sense of musical high that one normally only gets from a rare kind of music - usually classical.

Forced to map this into few words as it passed my own set of filters: resignation, surrender, "Oh f***!" and melancholy.

That was a bitter sweet trip.

Intro notes from YT read:

Text from fivehorizons.com : For the encore, Chad Smith (RHCP's drummer) joins PJ and a fascinating version of the Hendrix classic, 'Little Wing.' They jam for about eight minutes, mutating into 'Maggot Brain,' a funkadelic song from the 70s penned by Eddie Hazel.

Mike's guitarwork leaves the crowd (and the rest of the band apparently) awestruck.

It was later reported that Mike was hospitalized after the two Milwaukee shows due to dehydration and exhaustion.

Some wit in the YT comments wrote:

And I believe that posts from the heart are of value. Even if they are saddening.

As far as I'm concerned...there is never a need to delete a post, although at times I've wished I hadn't said what I said, but what's done is done. There is always a fresh 'here and now' with full potential to get things right.
( the movie Groundhog Day, anyone?)

But after I traveled around the forum later on I saw what it was that might have already contributed to the overload that occurred....
And I can see where a good rest from it all became top priority.
I just want y'all to remember that some people dont have one malicious bone in their bodies, and therfore there is no need to burden oneself with imagined conflict.
I will take to heart even more the words of Bahaullah..."let your words be mild as milk...."

[Samsara]

Yes, Big Beaver is a stuborn one. The most stuborn I had encountered was the Big Groundhog. Beavers are something else...

When they first moved there in the beginning of the summer, the beavers were working at the dam already. But Kandu was around, and I told "the kids" to make sure Kandu went in the area everyday. And so, for a while, we thought they had gone. But then Kandu got sick... My son in law doesn't believe in "talking" beaver. My daughter does... have been asking the "saule pleureur", the birds, the spirits, for their help also. But the dam beavers, keep on building the dam. When my daughter called the municipality, she tried to have them install some "tuyau", which keeps the water flowing even with the dam... when the beaver understand that the dam is not working, they just call it quits. Anyway, too costly apparently. They rather kill them.

My daughter, Marie-Eve, asked me to get the Village on the beaver case, she'd rather have them move than to know that the traps will catch them and kill them. We do not know where the "home" is. Probably lower downstream where are less humans around. Just a few miles down, and they are in beaver's paradise... it's a national park, no humans home to be bothered with.

I believe the Village can convince them to move.

@ Paula, sent your text to my daughter. Maybe there is something in there for "the kids" to understand.

P.S. sorry for the missing translation... gotta go !

[Anchor]

I've been reading your posts on this and just wanted to offer you this perspective for consideration.

...

What you are - your true nature, even beyond your higher self - is pure unconditional love.

This life for you is a challenge, exactly because you are ready for it :)

Jenci,

Not one word of your post is wasted (or a thorn).

John..

[Anchor]

Probably lower downstream where are less humans around. Just a few miles down, and they are in beaver's paradise... it's a national park, no humans home to be bothered with.

I believe the Village can convince them to move.

You realize this is a tall order?

A potential pattern for this work might be like this:

Are either of you familiar with the location to which you need the beavers to move? Can you envisage them there? Can you see them happy, at their business of survival and dam building? Can you see them picking up their ears to the spirits call to move and going against all instinct making a move up/down the river? Against all the odds?

If you can see and hold the necessary image, with intent and detachment - the one that represents the successful outcome, then perhaps the villagers who are willing may lend a hand, in supplying some raw energy to help motivate this work.

Let this be done with the protection and guidance of the one infinite creator, the angels and spirits of guidance of nature and the animals and deva kind.... for the highest and best good of all concerned - (which may end up being more than just the beavers I am afraid!).

I may sound less than 100% committed to this idea. I am sorry to express this doubt (which runs counter to effective work like this). The reason is, this seems to me to be a bit like trivial interference. However if you guys are genuinely committed and wanting some leverage and are up for the responsibilities of this and the effects that stem from the cause, I will help and perhaps others will too.

Yet...
Source may have a plan to make changes in the matrix....
What is happening in these last few years is unique...
at no time in history have there been so many reports of so many having mystical experiences.
And discovering powers that they never even dreamed of.
And while I agree about the no intent to fix things....isn't every single time we post our insights such an attempt?
An expression of a desire to better someone else's condition?
Even the greatest efforts at non interference still leave some ripple effect...no?

I would agree with that, because right now many people are experiencing not just pain in many forms whether desirable or not, but also the very notion of desirability and undesirability, the desirable being by definition the relief of pain, the undesirable the onset of further pain. We are experiencing the notion of healing as the possibility of achieving the desirable after centuries of experiencing damage through wanting the undesirable.

It has been suggested (by Maurice Cotterell I think) that homing pigeons and other birds travel (migrate) using the earth’s magnetic fields of course, but by reacting in terms of comfort, heading towards greater comfort and away from less, the destination, home (Source?) being that place from which any further movement is in the direction of less comfort.

Yeah, Source is seen by many as the ultimate comfort zone, yet when they imagine the heavenly environment of sitting on some fluffy cloud they soon think the real comfort zone is a jungle down below full of boa constrictors and spiders and tigers.
Until the jungle becomes just too much of a hassle life style, and the whole thing ends up getting bulldozed.

Synchronicity: My dad had homing pigeons in his youth...it was THE thing to do then apparently, the way we all do the Internet forum thing.

Here is a picture of a homing pigeon mansion, built near where I grew up...18th century design...My dad's was nowhere near that size, but no photo, unfortunately.

Fate had it that I sat next to Marianne Faithful on a sofa twice.
The first time when you were still a toddler. I was at Keith Richard's house and felt like an alien...
and she came and chatted with me to make me feel comfortable. And I was so grateful.
And the second time I was up in the world and she was down, and we were at my friend Chelita's house...
and chatting was impossible as both of them had apparently taken heroin
and when I realized that I just got up and walked out the front door, never to see either of them again.
If any humanitarian behavior was required of me at that moment I admit that I failed.
But I knew my limits, and what was going on there was way beyond.
So talking of comfort zones, like a homing pidgeon I headed back home.
I just wanted to be comfortable myself, but without resorting to hard drugs.
If anyone thinks I had an interesting life...just think about Marianne Faithful's life.

The idea of storing information in living cells has been the plot of sci-fi fantasies such as Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves - and today it has become reality

Made me wonder if we couldn't change the dam building program in those beavers' DNA.

Which would lead to the holographic idea of other dam building programs out there also getting a make-over...
like all those tradition-based religions which are separating people like beaver dams.

Homing pigeons were used during both wars on many fronts, and also, incidentally, by the Rothschilds to make their fortune in London after the Battle of Waterloo. According to Robert Temple, they were also the secret 'weapon' used to make the Delphic Oracle such a powerful centre.

Homing pigeons have just one comfort zone they are removed from. Question, how do they like it if they are just left alone? Do they just behave like ordinary pigeons?

Migrant birds have two comfort zones and commute between them, so it's two kinds of heaven, I suppose. They must also have one comfort season/temperature/light level whose loss triggers their departure.

Hell for all these species is when the background magnetic field goes haywire and they can't get to where they want to be.

If interacting with humans has become a norm then to return animals to the wild must be rather traumatic for them...
whether pigeon, dolphin, lion, or human being.
If this is done voluntarily it is another matter, of course.
In my view everything should be voluntary.

Actually this leads me to tell about my climbing out of the years of depression/apathy ... whatever the right label might be.
The biggest part was to get out of the victim role, which was heavily present in me. It took me some years to implement that recognition into my life.
But the heaviness and apathy remained, so I finally figured... if the body, mind and spirit influence each other, then I must try another approach... the body, so I set out to detoxify my body in order to influence the psyche. I learned in the process that I was pretty much toxified, strangely mostly up to the neck, but not above (I went to a bioresonance therapist), which puzzled the therapist as well as me :) One of the toxic intake where my 8 amalgam fillings (removing them now).
So, I set out to control the intake of food and drinks in order to get healthy again.... and it worked, big time.

This is one of the reasons that I struggle with what Jenci is telling in her latest post here. I keep wanting to fine-tune this process of making my body more healthy, because is was my brake through to mental fitness again for the first time in about 25/30 years maybe. I've never been able to take the route of therapy or whatever, it just wouldn't work with me and detoxifying the body did the trick after all. Or better said... enabled me to change the mental area as well.

When I asked for clarity I just got more confused. What is one's definition of too personal?

This was the part of the post that I saw, “I must say, I loved that post of yours...and the point you made about fresh starts.....we've all suffered so much....”

When I read that there’s an unspoken “but” we’ve all suffered so much”.


When I'm 100% serious you all would feel it in an instant, even if your computers were turned off and unplugged.

So whatever I say, I'm coming from a variety of levels...

Some of my themes are of change. Those were the ones I deleted. From one phase of life to another means walking through the unknown. When there’s a secondary thought like ‘fear of change’, for some, it means loss of something that was, or often something that never was.

I am mindful that people and myself are going through great change. I don’t mean to minimize it, but life IS change. There’s the overlay of loss in relationship(s) or health or job or child or home or financial juggling. I’d not want my posts to cause additional stress or pain. I understood Ulli’s post to say 1inMany has an overload of heart felt sharing. She’s taking everyone’s sage advise to help her over the bump.

My philosophy is keep it simple. That’s what works for me. It took me a long time to get there. I’d research and try the latest trends. What I learned was it did more harm than good. That’s not to say I still don’t try things. Like PurpleLama’s MSM 2000 and castor oil soap from www.heritagestore.com. Taking outside advise is helpful. There’s a tipping point that caused me to not look within and hear what my body, soul, mind needed. And the hardest part? Patience while it unfolds.

For me, my life experiences demonstrate that words like change, let go, and loss, are really Freedom in disguise. So the saying “feel the fear and do it any way” has served my growth. I spend less time in limbo to get from there to here.

With that said, I know we are all unique. So is our process. I removed the posts as my small part within the greater whole.

With heart and gratitude,

Oh, what synchronicity, I was coming here to announce that heritage has a new product, the castor oil pack kit, comes with the oil, flannel, their towelettes for cleaning up the oil, and an instruction booklet.

Paula, there are plenty on this forum who could do with a little more self censorship, as it were, I don't think you are one of 'em.

Hodge-podge Post: small spaces, material possessions, Freedom disguised in false labels

I'd rather live in the small place than a big one. Cost effective=Freedom. Every once in a while I go on a "lighten the load binge". Two simple rules: use non-see-through bags, and no peeking.

I spend most of my time in the same space. My challenge is kitchenware. I own several quality pieces of cookware (Le Creuset). They are perfect for Nishime cooking method which uses very little water. Vegetables cook in their own juices. This cooking method can be used daily because it’s centrally balanced for the body.

And I use a really good knife. Less equipment. I just sprung for a toaster last year. I'm into bagels these days. Oh yes! a coffee pot, though trying to end that relationship. (and a microwave oven mostly to thaw out the bagels) If push comes to shove, coffee pot and micro out; juicer and water distiller, stays.

Books...my rule is/was only 100 (was in the thousands, that’s a conservative number). Thank you, iPad!

Clothes, once I left teaching, I saved thousands and space. Small business out of apartment = Freedom.

I’m annoyed with myself because I’ve purchased so much crap for the 12/21/12, grid down, empty shelves, alternative electricity toys and gadgets, and foods. Breathe, breathe, breathe.

My family loves to invite me to help pare down. Though they don’t like me when I don’t buy into enabling. Ground rules get broken. No-win situation. Whispers behind my back. But I still Love them.


“The Traveling Pots and Pans & Fresh Starts”

18 years old walk out the door with a brown bag bag filled with clothes and a couple of books. Hitched a ride to the next state over. Fresh start.

Filled my 1963 VW with my 3 1/2 year old son’s things, pot and pans and some clothes and drove away from a five year marriage and brand new home that became just a house. Fresh start.

With one more semester of college, the TV switch began to smoke and flame. I was afraid it would explode. Grabbed my son, while he grabbed his teddy bear and watched as it went up in flames. The volunteer fire department wouldn’t come out because of 3 false alarms that day. 85-90% loss of "things". Fresh start.

2nd marriage of 17 years, left it all, except the queen size brass bed, clothes, books and pots and pans. We are still dear friend. Fresh start.

This is about Kefir and how to make your own.

I make 1 litre a day (for the whole family)
Love the stuff.

Actually this leads me to tell about my climbing out of the years of depression/apathy ... whatever the right label might be.
The biggest part was to get out of the victim role, which was heavily present in me. It took me some years to implement that recognition into my life.
But the heaviness and apathy remained, so I finally figured... if the body, mind and spirit influence each other, then I must try another approach... the body, so I set out to detoxify my body in order to influence the psyche. I learned in the process that I was pretty much toxified, strangely mostly up to the neck, but not above (I went to a bioresonance therapist), which puzzled the therapist as well as me :) One of the toxic intake where my 8 amalgam fillings (removing them now).
So, I set out to control the intake of food and drinks in order to get healthy again.... and it worked, big time.

This is one of the reasons that I struggle with what Jenci is telling in her latest post here. I keep wanting to fine-tune this process of making my body more healthy, because is was my brake through to mental fitness again for the first time in about 25/30 years maybe. I've never been able to take the route of therapy or whatever, it just wouldn't work with me and detoxifying the body did the trick after all. Or better said... enabled me to change the mental area as well.

Hi. New here. I've been digging through this thread for a while - I will be posting something more along the lines of the original intention of this thread here shortly but wanted to insert two cents on this.

Mind-Body-Spirit -- our actions absolutely translate. Living as a nomad gives a Mind-Body-Spirit of a nomad. It's hard to put into words but once you DO, you BECOME. Some people can work it the other way, but I've always seen the Do-Become work <3

The 2012 Myth, “Daily Wisdom,” by: Rachel Willis from Archangel Michael

"Today, dear ones, we are urging you to continue 'holding the space' for the collective energies of Mother Earth to remain firmly and definitively secure in the future of the planet. For each of you are working as part of a team to reassure the population who know not about the dawning of the year 2013 and instead live in fear (often on a soul level) of the world ending.

The fact that you intuit the future beyond this year - in your unique way, be it vision, knowingness, sense, taste, smell, audio or telepathy with future beings - is indication that the planet MUST be safe going forwards.



Therefore, please ask us to keep your energies buoyant, to prepare rewards for you once this collective team work is complete and the year ahead arrives, and to inform you every step of the way about the best and clearest guidance for your soul and others to follow in order to help the highest numbers of people feel reassured of the falseness and misinformation that we fondly call 'The 2012 Myth'."

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

When I read that there’s an unspoken “but” we’ve all suffered so much”.

The unspoken "but" was more like "gosh", we've all suffered so much'...
as I was reminded of the time I lost an entire household of possessions which was in storage...
and had a real shock that this also had happened to you,
and I really, really felt for you, and what you must have gone through back then.

So I had a second shock to discover that you could read me so wrong,
and I hadn't even used the word "but", but you had imagined it.

So I thought that this was a case of instant karma...
where the exact reverse had just been done to you by AriG when she misunderstood you
yet you then did it to me.
Working to rise above one's emotions brings clarity, and clarity is something worth striving for.

Anyway each of us have very different and uniquely personal lessons to learn,
and I'm dealing with my own stuff right now,
so won't get any deeper into what I think others ought to be learning,
butt, this "but" incident was one which did deserve to be clarified.

Here and now - excitement and overwhelm.

I've been searching for a forum like this - a place where everyone recognizes humanity's constant evolution and seek to help it move forward with complete appreciation. I know I've found it here. Looking through these boards the last several weeks and being accepted (on the typical tentative status) precisely on the day the 188-day cycle was proven for the 8th(?) or so time gives me a sense of "I'm supposed to be here"

This thread where we open our mundane to each other - this thread and it's meaning is what convinced me this forum is where I can grow and be useful.

So here and now, I'm waiting for my Falcon friend to show herself as she always does around this time every day. It's absolutely silent - not even a single car is passing by my home of the last 3 years that will soon become a memory. My nearly 2-year-old son is playing contentedly in his room, I hear his coos and choo-choos over the monitor as I sit in my bedroom to finish out my work week. Here shortly I will go out to play with him for a bit and give him lunch before secluding myself again to actually write the review I've researched. But that's not here and now...

It's sunny, not a cloud in my view of the sky. A little chill is in the air. The leaves are just a touch past green. Didn't they say it was supposed to rain today? So much for that.

Question, how do they like it if they are just left alone? Do they just behave like ordinary pigeons?



If interacting with humans has become a norm then to return animals to the wild must be rather traumatic for them...
whether pigeon, dolphin, lion, or human being.
If this is done voluntarily it is another matter, of course.
In my view everything should be voluntary.


Here’s my synchronicity: rediscovered just this week, the message carried off the battlefield at Verdun in 1916 reporting gas attacks, and the posthumous award to said pigeon, which died of gas poisoning on arrival.

So here we have pigeons dying from gas poisoning while delivering the message about gas attacks,
and the possibility of beavers dying in their line of duty ...ie building dams, albeit in the wrong place
and Meeradas still working for a living, while killing himself working....
it's all about misplacements, isn't it?
Or non-adaptation to the winds (gasses) of change.

This Village needs to call forth it's beaver whisperers, no matter how tough a job that may be.

Your name made me think of a tetrahedron.
I needed that image today...good timing.
A trine is an astrological angle that allows harmonious energies to stream between two points which are 120 degrees apart.
A grand trine is when these angles form an even sided triangle.
A tetrahedron is when you project that triangle into 3D.
We should all focus on the image as the next full moon approaches.
This will diminish possible fall-out and help maintain equilibrium.

Interestingly , I was looking up how to make Kefir
just before I went to bed . Have the DIY yoghurt thing
and the sour dough bread thing going on so this trend
with fermenting foods seems to be continuing .
Seems to also be somehow connected with spiritual
growth too , I guess "live" foods for sure would have a
higher vibration than dead ones ...

I had delivery yesterday of a fantastic yoghurt cook book
written by and Armenian author, before making my own
I was not a big fan of yoghurt and I had in fact quit dairy
all together . I will be exploring non dairy versions too , but
I also get that I need the high levels of calcium in my diet.

But thanks for the Kefir link that will be my next kitchen
science experiment . I was reading that you can get a starter
to fast track the process . Will post that link later when I'm on my
Big Mac

Oh yes... Speaking of books , another book that just arrived
would be of interest to all the soap makers here , it's an extension
of sorts to that whole area . It's called " grow your own drugs "
And it's packed full of recipes for home remedies from plants
it's an excellent resource , google for authors name, etc

More sleep now

Love to all

I rarely participate here because, well, I live a pretty mundane life,:washing: and don't know much how to contribute here without sounding like I am feeling sorry for myself. :ohwell: But for starters, the sun just peeked through, after an all night rain. The air smells clean, and birds are happily digging worms (wish they could dig the moles while they''re at it.
For the last few weeks, I have been going through "something" that I can only guess is related to the evolvement from 3D to 4D. A week ago or so I experienced some weirdness during the peak of solar activity that week.
My personal life is full of challenges, as it seems chaos is everywhere. I have actually gotten very good at living day to day. I don't worry about tomorrow or next week, or next year. I get done what needs to get done...today.
My spouse,on the other hand is in a perpetual state of anxiety and judgement. His stress keeps me on a never ending search for solitude and calm. The main difference is he denies that he is affected by any "energies" and that it's his life that is screwed up. I'm not really seeking advice for him, as we are about to begin counsel together, but its nice to just share these things with the only people I trust anymore, you guys.

[Flash]

Jenci, couldn't the lesson be sometimes, while having unconditional love for what is as you explained, couldn't the lesson be sometimes the fact that you have not listen to your body and feeling, they have transformed your body and you have to put it back in its most functional/healthy state?


Hi Flash

I am well aware that I am at odds which what is usually discussed here and it is not my intention to be a thorn in the side of the village, so mostly I am quiet here about this but occasionally I think it is warranted to offer a different perspective and it may just be it is not intended for any village member but someone lurking somewhere who is coming to the realisation that while healing is working for other people, it is not working for them.

Not all of us are here to be healed. If there is a belief that because some people can change the course of their life for the better through healing, intention, fixing, manifesting then that must apply to everyone, then it is missing the point about human incarnation.

The Source manifests in human form 7 billion times to have 7 billion unique experiences - not to have the same experience multiplied 7 billion times.

We are all truly immortal beings of infinite power and possibilities and our existence stretches far beyond this 3D realm that we have manifested into form. Of course in this human form we can learn that we can tap into those higher aspects of ourselves, learn exactly what we are capable of and use those abilities to lift this 3D experience to a higher level but all those higher abilities are already what we are, it is not something we need to attain.

Our higher self incarnates into a 3D dense limited form because it wants to experience a raw, gritty, limited human experience not because it wants to experience the higher, eternal being experience. When we return to the Source we can see this, that this life we are living, is already perfect as it is, however 'bad' it appears.

To answer your question specifically, maybe the individual's lesson is to restore their body to its optimum health but I was writing to appeal to those who have tried this over and over and keep finding that whatever progress is made, they return back to the same old thing.

What I am suggesting is that when it gets to this stage, it goes way beyond the needs of the body and mind but rather the inner calling to return to the Source.

The Source is unconditional love - allowing everything to be as it is, no fixing, no healing, no manifesting, no intentions.....and that is why I was saying that the technique I suggested was so powerful because it aligns perfectly with the Source.



Jeanette

Like you Jenci, I just wanted to make sure both perspectives and raison d'être (or as Modwiz would say, raison d'vivre) are mentioned/offered. In my view, both are correct.

[RunningDeer]

So Paula is still learning how to speak ulli? Don't worry it took me a while, and I can even understand most of what Carmody says.....

Really! And yet it was Carmody that taught me double and triple speak...
not the other way round.

I do realize trust has to be earned, and maybe I have to wait a little longer.
Because if I insist that people understand and trust me
that might only increase their suspicion that I'm not being genuine and sincere.

One suggestion is if it's meant as a joke then add similes or say it. Often, I take people's remarks as literal if tone is not present. (Even from those I've known a lifetime.)

Last evening's post felt more than a joke. But now I know two things:

- wait for further proof
- know there will be more to come from all of us

Triggers: sun-flares, 12/21/12, relationships, relationship endings (to new/painful to share), seasonal changes' effect on the body, financial, chemtrails, & all the other garbage that makes one feel out-of-control, etc.

yes, the the misconstrued flies on the old food of life. Where beginnings turn to crap, and back to life again when viewed from the eyes of a child..a moment that breathes life back into the confused and hurried life of the adult.


This little humourous thought come from a friend's story of how cereal was hastily poured for a child in a highchair, by the busy parent.

While 'mother' was turned away doing other things and child was presumably consuming the proffered cereal, the voice came to her from the highchair behind her, "Mommy, the raisins are moving." The cereal was old, and was full of bugs and maggots. The child observed and reported this.

Hmmm....note to self.. Never eat cereal in the dark again. lol GROSS

Welcome starchild111
I do a lot of this as well > :washing: and lots of cooking, gardening etc. ..so I relate to your feelings of living a mundane life but it isn't really :) Right now as I type this I'm listening to two little pups snoring on the sofa and at least six different kinds of songbirds excitedly waiting their turn to eat at a very large feeder I have hanging on the back deck. The finches are making the most noise as they seem irritated by a pair of large Bluejays who are being a little over zealous! Finch's can give quite a tongue lashing :)
..just of interest as there are tree lovers in this wonderful village - I heard this morning of six million new trees planted in a neighboring province (Canada). Apparently these are not 'replacement' trees (that's another ongoing project) but 'new' trees.. such Good news!

That is AWESOME. We are going to be moving in the next few months, and because of that we didn't do much planting this year. I really miss it. But I suppose I could make good use of my empty pots by starting some new trees to plant next spring.

I could never have survived 20 years living in Costa Rica if I was squeamish about devouring insects.
Especially if I was concerned about protecting the poor insects more than myself.
Here and Now...
Thousands of wasps are swarming ten feet from my front door in my internal court yard garden. The cleaning lady is afraid to go to the laundry area, and quite rightly so.
I won't be watching when one of the men comes and does what has to be done.
The jungle is intruding constantly around here and it's getting on my nerves.
Went outside just now to check on those swarming wasps...and see there is no sign of them.
Pffft...weird.

Jenci,
Not one word of your post is wasted (or a thorn).
John..


I've been reading your posts on this and just wanted to offer you this perspective for consideration. What you are - your true nature, even beyond your higher self - is pure unconditional love. This life for you is a challenge, exactly because you are ready for it :)

Hello Jeanette and Anchor,

I'm going to use John's words and say ditto. Jeanette, what you say always makes sense. It's the application moment to moment that trips me up (or is it this body?).

So here's to some old fashion thanks to you and to Anchor and his new scythe.

I do a lot of this as well > :washing: and lots of cooking, gardening etc. ..so I relate to your feelings of living a mundane life but it isn't really :) Right now as I type this I'm listening to two little pups snoring on the sofa and at least six different kinds of songbirds excitedly waiting their turn to eat at a very large feeder I have hanging on the back deck. The finches are making the most noise as they seem irritated by a pair of large Bluejays who are being a little over zealous! Finch's can give quite a tongue lashing :)
..just of interest as there are tree lovers in this wonderful village - I heard this morning of six million new trees planted in a neighboring province (Canada). Apparently these are not 'replacement' trees (that's another ongoing project) but 'new' trees.. such Good news!

If not the mundane life, what is there to celebrate?
The Here and Now thread re-invented the world (mundo) of the mundane.
Elevated it to worship status.
It's what makes the world go round.

This is about Kefir and how to make your own.
Longevity stuff.

I tried really, really hard to like Kefir. But, there's got to be a better way. Still doing distilled water coming up on 6 months, 5th liver/gallbladder detox begins this weekend, and now the juicier drinks. It's what I call, "youthing", through right foods, drink and visualization and contemplation and blah, blah, blah...

I had already written what I did before I noticed your ant avatar.

And as it is on my mind as of late, my brother sends me this video, out of the blue. I just watched it and he just sent it. I lasted for about a minute. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0090sL9o8g&feature=related) You have been warned. I'm still reeling a bit. Gah. (one comment calls it 'the most satisfying on the web' of it's type. I can see why)

Anyway, that is how synchronicity and the universe works, regarding connectivity.

Very interesting article. Thank you Astrid.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/05/22/article-0-133B51F3000005DC-570_233x423.jpg


The idea of storing information in living cells has been the plot of sci-fi fantasies such as Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves - and today it has become reality

Made me wonder if we couldn't change the dam building program in those beavers' DNA.

Which would lead to the holographic idea of other dam building programs out there also getting a make-over...
like all those tradition-based religions which are separating people like beaver dams.

The most spectacular and interesting individual that I have ever met is actually from the MS Gulf Coast. He is an artist, the most incredible poet (all of his poems are very long oral poems and none are written down to my knowledge) and he has a steel peg leg that he welded himself. I met him in the Grünowski one night in Jena, Thüringen. He was involved in some project with Zeiss, possibly, don't know. Anyway, his name is Joe Davis, and his homebase is Cambridge, MA where he is a Research Affiliate at MIT I visited him once in Boston and he gave me a tour of his lab space at MIT. I was amazed. Anyway, originally an artist and sculptor, he is a pioneer of bioart. He has successfully performed various wild experiments such as transmitting the sound waves of a female orgasm into outer space (Poetica Vaginale), creating an audio microscope that translates light information into sound allowing you to "hear" living cells, each with its own "acoustic signature." He once did a similar experiment by playing an electric guitar through the headlights of a Trabant which shone onto a sensor that translated the light into sound and amplified it through a speaker.

But to get the point of the article that Astrid posted, he encoded the eyes of a fruit fly with a poem from Heraclitus. ""It's made my life at M.I.T. biology certainly more tenuous than before," said Mr. Davis, whose esoteric works include a project in which he encoded a 60-character fragment of a Greek text by Heraclitus into the white-eye gene of a fruit fly."" http://www.nytimes.com/2005/07/03/arts/design/03kenn.html?pagewanted=print

He once told me that his inspiration was that the vast majority of Heraclitus' works have been lost through the ages and that he was in his time the most prolific of the Greek writers. His idea was to store all of Heraclitus' work into a Fruit Fly's DNA so that the remaining texts would never be lost again. Anyway, I will post links to articles that discuss his various projects in detail. Do check out his RuBisCo gene sequence transmission experiment at SETI in Arecibo, where he transmitted the sequence to three stars, using his IPhone. Davis claimed afterward that he had the coolest IPhone in the World!

There is much that I don't share until something like this prompts me.
My father-in-law keeps cows in the pasture in front, and sells them to people who have milk farms.
So these last two days one has been mooing all night and I asked what happened to that cow.
It was mooing basically because the others had just been sold and it was left alone. So I asked why was that?
And I was told it needed a huge abcess draining which had been caused by a snake bite (non-poisonous, but still, a huge snake lives somewhere on the island in the middle of our river, and must have swum across to bite that cow. And it became infected. Now recovering.

[araucaria]

Carmody, you should have hung in there, you missed the happy end. Spoiler: it got worse and worse. Until it stopped :)

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Wow, yea Carmody, one minute was enough for me, too. God bless veterinarians.

[araucaria]

@ Carmody
That reminded me of a friend who loved molasses. She had poured some on a piece of homemade bread and had eaten half the slice before noticing the ants! She said she couldn't eat Molasses after that.. poor ants ;)

Poor ants? I thought insects were increasingly an alternative source of protein? :)

I could never have survived 20 years living in Costa Rica if I was squeamish about devouring insects.
Especially if I was concerned about protecting the poor insects more than myself.
Here and Now...
Thousands of wasps are swarming ten feet from my front door in my internal court yard garden. The cleaning lady is afraid to go to the laundry area, and quite rightly so.
I won't be watching when one of the men comes and does what has to be done.
The jungle is intruding constantly around here and it's getting on my nerves.
Went outside just now to check on those swarming wasps...and see there is no sign of them.
Pffft...weird.

Ulli, you don't eat wasps, I hope?

We haven't had any wasps to speak of here this year - hardly any plums, and a month late. I'll take the good with the not so good.

[ulli]

Carmody, your brother must know your preferences. Thank God I no longer speak to my brother;
he sprung those things on me all the time.
And we lived on a farm so no shortage of grossness.
I became a city girl, but then ended up here in the country again....the wild west...but I don't venture out to see those things with my own eyes.
Then they hunt me down on my laptop. Will heed all of your warnings in the future.
And araucaria...bravo for being brave and lasting till the end.

And then shoot that fruit fly into outer space with the next satellite launch?
This would be taking the hoarding instinct to new heights, I suppose.
Wonder what his birth chart looks like...
I'd prefer to send my blessings to the veterinarian any day.

(Hey, Paul, how did I do with the nested post deletes?)

[Carmody]

Oh yes.

There are wasps all around my front door right now. 'tis the season. warm side of the house, no wind.

[ThePythonicCow]

(Hey, Paul, how did I do with the nested post deletes?)
Awesome :) !

[Carmody]

Carmody, you should have hung in there, you missed the happy end. Spoiler: it got worse and worse. Until it stopped :)

Yeah, I went back and watched it to the end. Sort of. 'man up!', I said to myself. ('why oh why?', as one commenter said. they started with LOL fails, went to kitteh videos and ended the evening with zits and cysts)

Once I had a boil under my nose, on my upper lip. stuck out further than my nose. Nasty stuff, draining that one. My empathy is rather close and complete, which is part of why I'm still swallowing and feeling queasy.

[RunningDeer]

@ WCBD


When I read that there’s an unspoken “but” we’ve all suffered so much”.

The unspoken "but" was more like "gosh", we've all suffered so much'...
as I was reminded of the time I lost an entire household of possessions which was in storage...
and had a real shock that this also had happened to you,
and I really, really felt for you, and what you must have gone through back then.

So I had a second shock to discover that you could read me so wrong,
and I hadn't even used the word "but", but you had imagined it.

So I thought that this was a case of instant karma...
where the exact reverse had just been done to you by AriG when she misunderstood you
yet you then did it to me.
Working to rise above one's emotions brings clarity, and clarity is something worth striving for.

Anyway each of us have very different and uniquely personal lessons to learn,
and I'm dealing with my own stuff right now,
so won't get any deeper into what I think others ought to be learning,
butt, this "but" incident was one which did deserve to be clarified.


It's 2:20 and I've just gotten to this post. Sometimes I wonder if it's better to work backwards on the Here and Now. Hey, that means an opportunity to go back and fix what's not broken?

As far as "the but"? I can promise you there will be other times again. It's neither right or wrong. For now, it's how I process. At the time, these were the words you posted with most volume (see below). I could no longer wait for further clarification, and put 1inMany's wellbeing first.


"I've decided never again to share any past history that was traumatic.
From now on I'm asking everyone here to follow my example and only share their happy shyte
because as long as 1inMany is going through her withdrawal crisis
she will just manifest every little thing she reads about here.
Burning her house down while smudging...my oh my, what an oxymoron...

Also lets try to only give her UNDER-reactions, so as to avoid her getting some weird idea
that she has to provide us all with a show.

A calm life is not always a boring life.
I have spoken.

Husband walked in the door..first words "sorry I'm late but I had to deal with the ministry of health, then the ministry of agriculture, about that horse and that drainage.

"That" horse is an anonymous horse someone places on the empty lot next to our medical center to keep the grass down. The owner is an elderly lady who lives overseas, and instead of cutting the grass some worker of hers simply lets others graze their farm animals, and the medical center stinks and gets flies.

The "drainage" is the trench running alongside which is really the municipality's job to keep clean, but they don't and there are stagnant waters in there. So he has to try and get the government to act on this.

[Mark]

I made it to about 15 seconds. As soon as it started to drain was quite enough for me. It's wasp heaven at our front door too. Which brings to mind the wasp nest I destroyed earlier this summer over our rear screen door. I had taken the boy out on the back porch and one of the wasps stung me for what I thought was no reason, since I hadn't made a move toward their nest. I rationalize my resultant murderous actions as protection for the boy, since we have no idea if he's allergic or not. Anybody willing to take a guess as to the karmic ramifications? I estimate about 8 wasps died as a result of the spray. Since then, wherever I go, wasps seem to come up and check me out, as if to say, 'we heard about you, dude,', but so far, no more stings.

Ok, this is not the wasp breed in question, but, apparently, a new species of wasp just found. I post this in respect to wasp kind. I did say sorry. Peace.

Hodge-podge Post: small spaces, material possessions, Freedom disguised in false labels

I'd rather live in the small place than a big one. Cost effective=Freedom. Every once in a while I go on a "lighten the load binge". Two simple rules: use non-see-through bags, and no peeking.

I spend most of my time in the same space. My challenge is kitchenware. I own several quality pieces of cookware (Le Creuset). They are perfect for Nishime cooking method which uses very little water. Vegetables cook in their own juices. This cooking method can be used daily because it’s centrally balanced for the body.

And I use a really good knife. Less equipment. I just sprung for a toaster last year. I'm into bagels these days. Oh yes! a coffee pot, though trying to end that relationship. (and a microwave oven mostly to thaw out the bagels) If push comes to shove, coffee pot and micro out; juicer and water distiller, stays.

Books...my rule is/was only 100 (was in the thousands, that’s a conservative number). Thank you, iPad!

Clothes, once I left teaching, I saved thousands and space. Small business out of apartment = Freedom.

I’m annoyed with myself because I’ve purchased so much crap for the 12/21/12, grid down, empty shelves, alternative electricity toys and gadgets, and foods. Breathe, breathe, breathe.

My family loves to invite me to help pare down. Though they don’t like me when I don’t buy into enabling. Ground rules get broken. No-win situation. Whispers behind my back. But I still Love them.

“The Traveling Pots and Pans & Fresh Starts”

18 years old walk out the door with a brown bag bag filled with clothes and a couple of books. Hitched a ride to the next state over. Fresh start.

Filled my 1963 VW with my 3 1/2 year old son’s things, pot and pans and some clothes and drove away from a five year marriage and brand new home that became just a house. Fresh start.

With one more semester of college, the TV switch began to smoke and flame. I was afraid it would explode. Grabbed my son, while he grabbed his teddy bear and watched as it went up in flames. The volunteer fire department wouldn’t come out because of 3 false alarms that day. 85-90% loss of "things". Fresh start.

2nd marriage of 17 years, left it all, except the queen size brass bed, clothes, books and pots and pans. We are still dear friend. Fresh start.

I really needed to read that Paula....I'm at the precipice now with my kids wondering exactly how I am going to get us from now until that point where we ask yourselves, "remember when we didn't know where we would live...?"

It is encouraging to read that you built a life even with a major setback along the way. I know I'll eventually get to the point where now will become just another experience I dealt with...

Thank you for sharing...because I really want to make this start a better one.

Blessings,

Not exactly regret, I would make the same choice again. Taking the boy on the back porch with wasps who sting without provocation is not an option.

Just disappointment at having to make that decision. Disappointment in the wasp for thinking that I was a danger to their nest. I'd let it stay up there all spring and most of the summer.

But he had ta push me.

Some creatures are just plain unpredictable, not much one can do about that. Maybe this was the best possible result? What if the alternative to you getting stung and having to take out a few was your son getting swarmed (for whatever reason) and finding out he was allergic? This may well have been the very best result available - especially when involving more simple creatures. All is Well! ;) ;) ;)

Ok, the freezer spell, a little piece of folk magic that is incredibly effective, as many people who I know can attest, myself included.

Take a sheet of paper and write it all down, be clear and forceful in your language, detail exactly what lines will not be crossed, exactly what abuse or treatment will not be accepted. Be creative with this, put some thought into it.

Once everything is written down, spit in the middle of the paper, fold it up and put it in a plastic or paper cut, fill the cup with water and throw that bad boy in the freezer, towards the back where nobody can mess with it.

You have now frozen the offender in a solid block of ice. Leave it there however long you wish, the effect will not dissapate until the ice is unfrozen and the paper is dried and burnt.

I post this specifically for Amanda, but anyone who deals with with someone who would violate anothers free will may have success with this little gem of a spell. Please, do not use this technique lightly.

You're right, Dedukshyn. I didn't do it out of anger or revenge, so that should count for something.

Araucaria, you've got me thinking now. Uh-oh. LOL

As Above, So Below.

The murder of mass amounts of human beings is always justified in some manner. Negative traits of the ethnic or cultural group involved is generally somewhere in the mix.

Dedukshyn, wasps can swarm and they can be unpredictable. This particular wasp did something unpredictable, so wasp-kind in general must be watched warily.

The transformation potentially has something to do with moving from a utopic view of the relationship between humanity and nature in some of its more gross manifestations.

Sometimes you just have to kill.

What is the greater meaning of death in that context, when we all just come back again? Murderers? Of people or animals?

Is the transformation signaled by an acceptance and an abidance by "survival of the fittest" types of animalistic "fight or flight" behavior a signal of a regression or progression?

Should the back porch have been ceded to the wasps for the summer? Or was it a lesson for those particular wasps never to build a nest again so near human doors?

Just thinking in motion.

This reminded me: our kids would play whatever game (video usually) and they would always tease each other when one player "died". "Ha! I killed you!" one would say to the other. Their mother was a bit disturbed by this and drove home that no-one had died and they were to use the words "I got you out!" to which they complied.

On vacation they found a frog that was on his way out (but didn't realize it) and sure enough they found him the next day -- croaked. Their mother said well it looks like he died. "He just got Out, mommy!" my 3 year old exclaimed.

Creatures don't die, they just get '"out" for the round / level. ;) ;)

Well that is a rather specific definition -- I was thinking a more general one where the activities of someone or something cannot be directly seen while they are in "stealth mode" -- like a ninja assassin would have to operate in stealth mode. ;) ;)

Sorry, I misunderstood, and thought your question about white or black was in reference to the freezer spell I posted.

No magic required for invisible mode, ha. There is a big difference between stealthy and secretive. :)

We suck in the regular judgmental and competitive societal view.

I'm having a blast!

What a complete and total relief and pure joy that there is not one iota of stress or pressure attached in this school system. Oh, they push the kids, blah blah blah...but we suck. Isn't that the best news you've heard all day?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (jumping for joy and turning circles around circles!)

I just want to say one thing. Well, that would be unlike me, now wouldn't it. Specifically, I want to say one thing at the moment. I'm carrying around a feeling of being overwhelmed by the comings and goings in the village of the last 24 hours, and am at a loss. But, there is one thing I'd like to share, if you will kindly indulge me.

There is absolutely nothing that anyone can share that will effect me in a negative way unless it is supposed to. And absolutely nothing that has been shared here since I arrived (only 8 or 9 months ago) has caused me anything that I cannot/could not handle, or that I did not voluntarily open up to or need in some way. Sorry, that might have been more than one depending on how you count.

I love you all....now, off to the most fantastic football game I've ever attended...and our team will no doubt lose in a big way...and the Angels and I will be grinning ear to ear...

All My Heart,

Hello Heyokah,

There are, I imagine, several reasons why some choose invisible 'stealth' mode. I do it, as a mod, because there are times I'm logged into Avalon but either away for awhile, or not able to attend to the forum, and I don't want members to PM me and need help right away, when I can't respond right then. That's quite a practical reason that has nothing to do with secrecy.

And others have their own reasons, which we are not privy to, and IMO, don't need to be.

Yes, it's a personal choice.

Peace to you,
Marianne

Same here Marianne. :) That being said, there are a LOT of people that post in invisible mode, and that is their prerogative. As a mod, I've seen up to nine people at a time, posting invisibly, and I have no idea why nor would it occur to me to ask them ... <Munch munch munch oh what a delicious femur ... >

I don't have a reason to defend. I just do it. ;)

Besides one cannot "post" in secret - every post has a member's name attached, and browsing in secret is a bit like just not logging in, lol. Not very exciting ;)

LOL I came out of invisible mode as a result of being called out in this thread. I thought to myself, why am I invisible? I remember putting it on so that I could go into threads and read without anybody realizing I was there. Then I thought to myself, but why is that a problem? For people to know what I'm reading?

I could come up with no good answer to that. So here I am, visible and feeling really exposed.

Hi again,

One reason why, I use stealth mode is because it takes me a long time to post. I've got slight learning disables in several areas, so I have to triple and quadruple check. I still see errors later. Sigh...

Another is when I come upon a thread, I may or may not want to stay on it.

And sometimes, I just like being invisible. Go at my own pace.

[PurpleLama]

You can be invisible again. Please. It's OK.

Ever had the experience of someone you know well - someone you work with, or who has been a neighbor for a while - walk by you and not see you?

It's one of the most discomfiting experiences. Leaves one questioning.

Which kind of invisible man was I? And, if I return to invisibility, will I continue on in the same vein or become someone different?

Will I move from Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man to HG Well's version?

Decisions, decisions.

I think it's better for me to be seen where I go.

If it's a crazy thread that I need to bring the ruckus on, everybody'll know I'm there and that it's about to be brought.

I'm all for setting folks minds at ease. :thumb:

Well, now, that was just a hoot. Have I mentioned the band sucks? Well, shhhhh!, don't tell Em. Going from the advanced band a year younger than all the other members, first chair, private lessons with a competitive group with lofty goals in a huge school district....to....there were 45 kids playing in the band, at least 15 were borrowed from the high school band, and we lost a handful at halftime because they had to go play the second half of the game...half the time no one is paying attention, and omg were they out of tune...

Such wonderful catalysts for me. See? I'm learning!

And on the way home I asked Em, "Did you have fun?" And she replied, "Yeah, mom, I did." And she grinned.

Much Love to Us All,

I'm eight pages behind. Last night on the deck, my husband David asks me, "Would you be willing to do guided meditation with me some time? We've been doing relaxation in the class, and after 20 minutes, my body suddenly became aware. I could feel Martha's (One of our brand new baby Bombays) head in my hand. And then I went out flying around the stars, saw a nova... "

Just want to add something in regards to Wasp stings: When I was 7 months pregnant with son Ben I was stung by a Wasp for no reason. At age two he was stung twice in one week while playing outdoors with his older brother - he swelled up terribly. A trip to the Emergency was necessary and now he is seriously allergic to them. He has done well though, he is 23 and has had no further encounters - thank goodness.

The Angels are such a gift. Today, they spoke to me and I about fell out of my chair. I was talking to them today, just sounding like I was talking to myself or an old friend, mostly about money (note to self-next stop is the village barn...)...anyway, I was talking to them, then I would look to my right and talk to my Angel for a moment, and then I would look left and talk to Obi Wan for a moment. And I "heard" them...there's no way to describe it, actually. It is sort of like the quiet inner voice, but...not. But I did want to share it because this Village has cradled me through each new blessing/gift, aka freak out that I'm going nuts. Once in a while, I might question myself in this stuff, but that is becoming a thing of the past. I do not wonder about the Angels, I know.

I thought maybe if I stopped in here and shared another beautiful step on my journey, I would share this gift, this new wave of energy.

I never, never thought...not in a million years...just wow. I had better be careful here, because if I get carried away we might all see animated WoW! signs flashing :) Actually, the way we are connected, I suspect We All will.

No, it is not all about Love and Light as a movement, in my opinion. Life is about a lot of things...about being, about finding the magic and the wonder in each of Us, about sharing that and helping each other over the rocky rapids, about taking each opportunity to Unite, about finding our Individual paths Home and doing this Together.

Yes, I can do this too, and have. Although my 'average' (ratio), is higher in those living a last moment, vs those who are among the living.

edit:

was just thinking of the time I visited the boarded up insane asylum, that was to be used in a film shoot. The smell of it all, just pouring out of the walls. I was the only one who would climb the ladder and peer into the incredible darkness/blackness of the attic.* People have a fear of that one. In astral form, one tends to hang out in the darker parts of a place, up near the ceiling. We actually don't like water, we are repelled by it. There are also about 4-5 'Rense' website listed sightings that I read, and went 'oh crap. sorry about that folks'. I'm heavily Uranian influenced and can travel down electrical lines (Uranus rules electricity), which tend to be avoided by those in such form. I use them as superhighways. They go everywhere. (electricity is a field differential, like that of the rainbow of the dawn. the place we come into the body at birth. It is also a way out , it is also a way to channel energies in dimensional or astral form. A gateway-channel, if you will) thus the need to travel during the night, this can be negated a bit, so it can be done, 'in power' or strength, in daylight hours. I have been accused by more than one person who has 'looked at me' as not being confined by the earth's supposed limiting fields, a barrier that apparently exists so that the human incarnated cannot pass, or detect/feel outside of it. It is my understanding that this is tied to the whole cosmic elevation aspect of enlightenment. I said (here and there on the forum) that I went to the limit and dropped all karmic weight, and understood the limitations of this life, and cleared myself. It was while in this state, that I was accused of having this capacity.

As a general note: Thus, this too can be yours - if one turns and faces the change, and one is ready for it.

Water is a problem, as in astral form, one is 'plasma like' in form, and water is too random, worse than solids, when it comes to being stuck in solids, while in astral form. Water is a bit too disorganized to hold one's form while in it, as it is constantly shifting, thus outside of one's capacity to hold it together, while integrating with it. Human bodies are fluid or plasma based, primarily, but organized in a human way, thus an overlay is possible.

* It was built on the peak of a hill, on native American burial grounds, on a powerful ley line. Thousands of ghosts have been seen on that line, war battles have taken place on it, and it is known as a line that many children have been suspected to have been sacrificed on (at a different location).


more edit:

research 'radon gas', on this forum, concerning this subject. Then consider that fukushima and all the atmospheric nuclear blasts in the past, as a set, drastically increase radon gas. radon gas is apparently a signature aspect of dimensional barrier weakness, in a given space or place. Note that dimensional and temporal crossings occur in places and spaces where radon counts are high. And that plasma is the 99% of the universe that solids are not, solids being the 1% of the universe (approximate numbers). The radon gas part is quite elevated at the onset of rainfall, during rainfall, and just after. There's your ghostly experiences in the gassy and foggy swamps... and so on.. That the morning dew, especially that of the dawn on full moons and key astrological alignments, is key to making a functional 'white powder of gold', or alchemical mixtures, which is all about gaining and gating dimensional energies into the human form.

It is all out in the open, as information goes, if you can figure out what is the critical information.

Ok, the freezer spell, a little piece of folk magic that is incredibly effective, as many people who I know can attest, myself included.

Take a sheet of paper and write it all down, be clear and forceful in your language, detail exactly what lines will not be crossed, exactly what abuse or treatment will not be accepted. Be creative with this, put some thought into it.

Once everything is written down, spit in the middle of the paper, fold it up and put it in a plastic or paper cut, fill the cup with water and throw that bad boy in the freezer, towards the back where nobody can mess with it.

You have now frozen the offender in a solid block of ice. Leave it there however long you wish, the effect will not dissapate until the ice is unfrozen and the paper is dried and burnt.

I post this specifically for Amanda, but anyone who deals with with someone who would violate anothers free will may have success with this little gem of a spell. Please, do not use this technique lightly.

Thank you for that-- how strange, I used to do similar exercises for protection and healing when I was younger, and it was extremely effective-- why I didn't think to do it for my situation now or at anytime while I with my husband is very curious. But that advice has reawakened a part of my self I hadn't even been aware was dormant. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I'm beginning to realize there is is quite more of my true self I have kept hidden for safe-keeping-- and the keys, like your post, are emerging. Really having one of those "awestruck" moments ....

What a mighty village this is---

Amanda

[Carmody]

The trick is always to be sure the act is heart centered, with full honesty in the idea and the moment.

This, I find, in the personal idea and ideal....is the way to be clear in the karmic sense. That the given direction can be centered in outcome and personal involvement.

While no one else is around, I must say that wasp-ant battle was a much tougher watch than the horse cyst thing – try explaining stealth mode to that lot :)

The trouble with wasps is that, unlike bees, they can make unprovoked attacks because they know they can get away with it. Having said that, this video was a ‘false flag’ event in that a wasps’ nest is never likely to encounter an ants’ nest like that. Nature has room enough to keep them apart.

This ant battle reminds me of T.H. White’s The Once and Future King, a retelling of the story of King Arthur where Merlyn (sic) is a 20th century magician (1930s) going backwards through time, and bringing the great wisdom of hindsight to Arthur’s education. He metamorphoses him into all types of animal, including an ant to understand the hive mind where you are just a number and ask no questions. The masticators preparing food are a kind of sect chanting Mammy-mammy-mammy or Antland Antland Over All, or songs in praise of their tyrannicidal tyrant. There are just two types of ant: ‘made’ and ‘unmade’, and Arthur as a whistleblower is ‘unmade’ and deserving of death. So are an entire other colony with which a battle is arranged, leading to pillage and extermination.

However this is one of very few examples of belligerent animals, even among ants: only 7 species out of 4000.

My own personal battle is with slugs and snails in my strawberry patch. I grow strawberries because my wife enjoys them in otherwise unaffordable quantities :) I do not grow them for slugs and snails, especially as I leave them plenty of natural plantlife, and my neighbours grow a nice lettuce salad which would do equally nicely. I cannot go nuclear with slug pellets for fear of causing civilian casualties, notably among the hedgehog population. The helmeted ones I enroll into my private space programme and they do a one-way parabolic suborbital test flight into a nearby alternative spacetime continuum. The unprepared ones I am afraid I have to take out in hand-to-hand combat, no chemical warfare. It sounds like an uneven battlefield, but strength of numbers and territorial advantage mean that ownership of the strawberries always remains in dispute. You win some, you lose some. So be it.

In the last part of last nights dream, we were in a huge restaurant, with my mother and step father, wife and daughter and son. I encountered a being who was using a mash up analogue of two different girls I went to high school with, which caused me to awaken within the dream, recognizing that the wasn't either of these, and wasn't human either. She came along and wanted to speak to me privately, which I did manage, although leading up to this, I'd not recognized the mashup yet, I'd mentioned that my wife might not be understanding of my seeking conversation with some unknown woman, the ET laughed and made like she was going to lift her shirt, saying it's not like I'm trying to show you these. I laughed and recognized then her conflated persona. She went on to explain that she needed my help, she needed me to touch a spot just under her nose, just above her mouth, and she explained some life story of a girl who suffered and did not live to adulthood. As she told it, and held my hand to her face, I could see in omniscient detail this childs life, and I've deliberately blocked the memory of this, knowing the details wasn't the point.

I assured her I was fine, and told her to watch as I slowly moved and twisted each bone in my hand back into shape, until it was good as new, so to speak, and she was much relieved, tearfully so. At this point, I made sure she had a way to contact me if she needed, and went to rejoin my party before the exodus from the restaurant. Hundreds of people left the building all at once, with me keeping up with all the various family members I'd been there with. There was another short episode with me and my children all getting in a "car" fastening all the belts correctly, and then I woke up.

I'm currently looking into the practice of homeopathy and wondering if this is another financial manipulation of our bodies desire to heal itself. A friend of mine knows a man who has MS. He has recently had an over the phone consultation and been sent a remedy which is described on the label as Phenylalanine. He does feel a bit better. But is this a necessary, or hiding yet again the cause of the symptoms. I do not know how much they were charged but was wondering whether dilute sodium chloride would be more beneficial, it would definitely be cheaper. Also if I am right is there any scientific info on phenylalanine.

With the beasties in the garden issue, i find that planting enough for everyone works,
also the can of beer trick too.. at least the die happy, lol.

Good ideas, Astrid.

People have had success with planting extra for hungry beasties, as you say, then connecting to the 'deva' of each species (just go within and request a connection, or you can read up on how to do it from Machaelle Small Wright at Perelandra Nature Center). Ask the deva to direct the critters to the plants you wish them to munch on.

We're getting close ... where's Araucaria? :)

Good Morning :)

I haven't noticed the solar activity for a bit, but I am now wondering if that is why I could not get to sleep last night. I'm really tired, and this would be the ideal day to catch up on some sleep. My body hasn't had enough of that all week probably. But rest will have to wait. Today is one of M's therapy appointments, and that means I will be in the car most of the day. I'm not dreading this as much as I used to, since I can request a wall that keeps enough of the energies away from me that I can function quite well :)

I'm wondering if today will be one of those days when the sky is clear, light blue with puffy white clouds. A post card sky...drives on those days are quite fun I've decided ;)

Today's Mike's birthday, and tomorrow I will have a house full. We are planning a day of working outside together.

Much Love, and to All a Wonder-full Day,

Ulli, I reckon you've got twenty-one posts to make in succession. Remember, 4 minutes between posts :)
It's going to take you an hour and a half ;)

[ulli]

I'm really good at sneaking up on people, and standing still and not being seen, it's natural to me and completely comfortable. Yet I'm mostly brimming with such exuberance that I'm blurry and quite visible.

What kind of invisible man are you? The hooded dark robed kind. Whatever that means.


Remember when I woke up screaming one night as this white milky figure wafted into my bedroom door and I nearly gave my husband a heart attack?
And then when I shared on the thread you said simply "Oh that was you... I knew I had startled someone last night during one of my journeys.....

So what kind of invisible man are you?
The bluish-white nebulous kind...so we've actually met in 3D.
Great way of avoiding the TSA and other airport nightmares.

Yes, I can do this too, and have. Although my 'average' (ratio), is higher in those living a last moment, vs those who are among the living.

edit:

was just thinking of the time I visited the boarded up insane asylum, that was to be used in a film shoot. The smell of it all, just pouring out of the walls. I was the only one who would climb the ladder and peer into the incredible darkness/blackness of the attic.* People have a fear of that one. In astral form, one tends to hang out in the darker parts of a place, up near the ceiling. We actually don't like water, we are repelled by it. There are also about 4-5 'Rense' website listed sightings that I read, and went 'oh crap. sorry about that folks'. I'm heavily Uranian influenced and can travel down electrical lines (Uranus rules electricity), which tend to be avoided by those in such form. I use them as superhighways. They go everywhere. (electricity is a field differential, like that of the rainbow of the dawn. the place we come into the body at birth. It is also a way out , it is also a way to channel energies in dimensional or astral form. A gateway-channel, if you will) thus the need to travel during the night, this can be negated a bit, so it can be done, 'in power' or strength, in daylight hours. I have been accused by more than one person who has 'looked at me' as not being confined by the earth's supposed limiting fields, a barrier that apparently exists so that the human incarnated cannot pass, or detect/feel outside of it. It is my understanding that this is tied to the whole cosmic elevation aspect of enlightenment. I said (here and there on the forum) that I went to the limit and dropped all karmic weight, and understood the limitations of this life, and cleared myself. It was while in this state, that I was accused of having this capacity.

As a general note: Thus, this too can be yours - if one turns and faces the change, and one is ready for it.

Water is a problem, as in astral form, one is 'plasma like' in form, and water is too random, worse than solids, when it comes to being stuck in solids, while in astral form. Water is a bit too disorganized to hold one's form while in it, as it is constantly shifting, thus outside of one's capacity to hold it together, while integrating with it. Human bodies are fluid or plasma based, primarily, but organized in a human way, thus an overlay is possible.

* It was built on the peak of a hill, on native American burial grounds, on a powerful ley line. Thousands of ghosts have been seen on that line, war battles have taken place on it, and it is known as a line that many children have been suspected to have been sacrificed on (at a different location).


more edit:

research 'radon gas', on this forum, concerning this subject. Then consider that fukushima and all the atmospheric nuclear blasts in the past, as a set, drastically increase radon gas. radon gas is apparently a signature aspect of dimensional barrier weakness, in a given space or place. Note that dimensional and temporal crossings occur in places and spaces where radon counts are high. And that plasma is the 99% of the universe that solids are not, solids being the 1% of the universe (approximate numbers). The radon gas part is quite elevated at the onset of rainfall, during rainfall, and just after. There's your ghostly experiences in the gassy and foggy swamps... and so on.. That the morning dew, especially that of the dawn on full moons and key astrological alignments, is key to making a functional 'white powder of gold', or alchemical mixtures, which is all about gaining and gating dimensional energies into the human form.

It is all out in the open, as information goes, if you can figure out what is the critical information.

This post deserves to get a room of it's own, like a special painting in a major art gallery.
And even the nested posts need to remain, so as not to disturb the general context.
Are you hearing me, Paul?
And those two images Carmody included, what is it about them that made me feel that I could trip out like that, too? Is the the color? I have such a heavy programming that I can't do this sort of thing,
although I have had many premonition dreams.
If it had not been for those dreams I probably would never have started investigating metaphysical stuff, and if I hadn't started such investigation I would never have found this group.
Which is not even a group, but a bunch of loners who have become drawn together to meet in some imaginary meeting place on the www while in reality being scattered thousands of miles apart.
The 20,000 th post is coming up, and remembering how it worked with # 19,000, and everyone stepped aside to make room for me the thread owner, so I could grab it, because ai had indicated my desire to do so, and then araucaria innocently, not having a clue about the back story went and took it...and because that little drama directly led to araucaria becoming a regular member of the Village and enriching our lives so so, deep breath here...
I now announce that all of those who have actually read these lines, including myself, will now step aside and wait and see who is the one to inadvertently sit on the throne of that post. Because this is the way to grow as a family, and also as a Village. Not the way realtors create fake urbanizations these days, gated communities...with heavy marketing, and specific targeting.
Thank you for your inspiring post, Carmody. I can't wait to learn how to travel along electric power lines one day. I'm even reconsidering my attitude towards those ugly cables, and maybe not run them underground on our land at all. That would save us a packet of money as well.

[Carmody]

In the last part of last nights dream, we were in a huge restaurant, with my mother and step father, wife and daughter and son. I encountered a being who was using a mash up analogue of two different girls I went to high school with, which caused me to awaken within the dream, recognizing that the wasn't either of these, and wasn't human either. She came along and wanted to speak to me privately, which I did manage, although leading up to this, I'd not recognized the mashup yet, I'd mentioned that my wife might not be understanding of my seeking conversation with some unknown woman, the ET laughed and made like she was going to lift her shirt, saying it's not like I'm trying to show you these. I laughed and recognized then her conflated persona. She went on to explain that she needed my help, she needed me to touch a spot just under her nose, just above her mouth, and she explained some life story of a girl who suffered and did not live to adulthood. As she told it, and held my hand to her face, I could see in omniscient detail this childs life, and I've deliberately blocked the memory of this, knowing the details wasn't the point. After the telling, she released my hand, which had become twisted with the girl's painful experience in the story, and the woman who told it while holding my hand was horrified at what I had done, saying if she knew I was going to do that, she never would have asked. I assured her I was fine, and told her to watch as I slowly moved and twisted each bone in my hand back into shape, until it was good as new, so to speak, and she was much relieved, tearfully so. At this point, I made sure she had a way to contact me if she needed, and went to rejoin my party before the exodus from the restaurant. Hundreds of people left the building all at once, with me keeping up with all the various family members I'd been there with. There was another short episode with me and my children all getting in a "car" fastening all the belts correctly, and then I woke up.

I dreampt of sending some folks to a place they where supposed to go to, a remote place, far from where we (our home base) was to fix a transmitter, or transceiving tower, in this remote land. a dangerous place, it was. Apparently, even in that, it was supposed to be a simple task.

So we hopped in the service truck, and went to this remote place, that was like an island in or on Disneyland. The place was filled with zombies. We had to go up the hill and into the booth areas where all the candies and such where sold. The restaurant area/eating area.

it was full of the zombies. Which was the original issue. Zombies.

We were* hiding, in the bushes, of course, and getting ready to penetrate the area and get that transceiver up. Then the zombies began to notice us, and one by one, they turned to look at us, from our semi-hidden vantage point. Oh gawd. Here they come.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm going to a remote city today, to enter a large multi-storied building...to get to the top...to meet hard core enthusiasts, to promote our products. I'm going to a trade show.

Of course, I woke up singing....:

Thank you for those kind words Ulli. Let's move this along a little.

Re overhead cables. One thing you might is the following. I have noticed how much handsomer recently motorway bridges have become. They are still in concrete, but a few patterns on the side make all the difference.
What if you were to string your wires along a set of artistic totem poles. This might help to fasttrack the likes of Carmody to wherever there are heading...

[ulli]

Ok, the freezer spell, a little piece of folk magic that is incredibly effective, as many people who I know can attest, myself included.

Take a sheet of paper and write it all down, be clear and forceful in your language, detail exactly what lines will not be crossed, exactly what abuse or treatment will not be accepted. Be creative with this, put some thought into it.

Once everything is written down, spit in the middle of the paper, fold it up and put it in a plastic or paper cut, fill the cup with water and throw that bad boy in the freezer, towards the back where nobody can mess with it.

You have now frozen the offender in a solid block of ice. Leave it there however long you wish, the effect will not dissapate until the ice is unfrozen and the paper is dried and burnt.

I post this specifically for Amanda, but anyone who deals with with someone who would violate anothers free will may have success with this little gem of a spell. Please, do not use this technique lightly.

Thank you for that-- how strange, I used to do similar exercises for protection and healing when I was younger, and it was extremely effective-- why I didn't think to do it for my situation now or at anytime while I with my husband is very curious. But that advice has reawakened a part of my self I hadn't even been aware was dormant. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that. I'm beginning to realize there is is quite more of my true self I have kept hidden for safe-keeping-- and the keys, like your post, are emerging. Really having one of those "awestruck" moments ....

What a mighty village this is---

Amanda

Thank you, Amanda, for recognizing our true colors. Most of us here, I'm sure, have recognized yours ages ago, when you first shared with us the type of burden you had taken on with your soul journey.
May you continue to be a source of strength to all who are involved in that court case, but most of all to your son.

My thoughts exactly. Totem poles.
If Astrid were to visit me one day, wouldn't she have to use one of those Atlantic or Pacific underwater cables?
Or maybe she has a totally different form of whizzing about, maybe riding on the neck of some otherworldly condor?

I usually would caution a person to be careful to not over do it with the freezer spell, but under these conditions, Amanda, I feel that you should let the Mama Bear out to play, and fully emasculate the man, protecting not just your own child but any child the man may ever come into close contact with ever again. Pray for spirit to inspire you and give you the right words, and do not be afraid to be fierce, to be strong. This magic can be very gray, but the right motivation, protecting the innocent, stops the wheel from turning back on you, you can bet on it. Like Carmody said, with your heart in the right place....

ans I just read this article...



The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is ready for a zombie apocalypse. Gun owners got prepared for a zombie apocalypse. Now, the military and law enforcement are getting ready.

And next month, they'll begin training.

Security firm HALO Corp. announced yesterday that about 1,000 military personnel, police officials, medical experts and federal workers will learn the ins and outs of a zombie apocalypse, as part of an annual counter-terrorism summit , according to the Military Times.

Sure, the lesson is tongue-in-cheek -- and only a small part of the summit's more serious course load -- but a zombie-like virus outbreak is a good training scenario. Visitors will learn to deal with a worldwide pandemic, where people become crazy, violent and fearful. Zombies will roam the summit grounds in San Diego, Calif. harassing troops and first-aid teams that will be participating.

Further details are unclear, but the Military Times made sure to note that zombies are not real.

The training comes at a time when the term "zombie apocalypse" is so viral that several branches of government have released statements on the matter. Earlier this month, the Department of Homeland Security reported that "the zombies are coming" as part of a hilarious bid to get citizens to prepare for a real disaster.

The CDC has released similar statements using zombies as a playful guise to get the public prepared for actual disasters. To assure that no one's confused by these announcements, CDC told The Huffington Post that zombies are not real.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/17/zombie-apocalypse-training-halo-corp_n_1889724.html?utm_hp_ref=zombie-apocalypse

I am not at all a pessimist for the future and I see most of the stuff that is being discussed at this forum about the governments, financial system etc as natural signs of the times ,but sometimes, when I read things like these, I can't help but wonder what we are becoming. :der:

Greetings,

. Ulli, you have been on my mind the last two mornings as I wake up. I have been sending you thoughts of healing when I think of you.

I am usually invisible when I read this thread but it is because I don’t log in.
I watched this video this morning on Ted, “An Animated Tour of the Invisible” and it reminded me of this thread. I love the last line.. ”We are here on Earth to help each other, what the others are here for, I’ve no idea.”…. W. H. Auden
