...is there any way of expressing this blending process with a more neutral association?
n-body problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-body_problem) ?

By the time I got to this part:



The -body problem has 10 independent algebraic integrals:
three for the center of mass;
three for the linear momentum;
three for the angular momentum;
one for the energy.
This allows the reduction of variables to 6 − 10. The question at that time was whether there exist other integrals besides these 10. The answer was given in the negative in 1887 by H. Bruns:
Theorem (First integrals of the -body problem) The only linearly independent integrals of the -body problem, which are algebraic with respect to , and are the 10 described above.


....my eyes had glazed over.

Thanks, Paul, but no thanks.

(Interesting try, though.)

I just came through a very strong transit. Saturn opposite Saturn. On a little reflection realized that I accomplished a couple of things on a physical and spiritual level that I came here to do. But it was not totally an "I" but a We thing. Really could not have been accomplished with out the Villagers. Thank you all for your patience and gentle nudges.
Gently taking one step forward and moving forward.....Right now I have some Uranian and Plutonian sextiles & trines.

"The Great Ocean Migration"
Thousands of majestic stingrays swim to new seas
Like autumn leaves floating in a sunlit pond, this vast expanse of magnificent "Stingrays" animates the bright blue seas of the Gulf of Mexico.
Taken off the coast of Mexico's Holbox Island by amateur photographer Sandra Critelli, this breathtaking picture captures the migration of thousands of rays as they follow the clockwise current from Mexico's Yucatan peninsula to western Florida.

Hi guys, what a beautiful tree! Fun to hop online and see that first thing!

I have been hiding in my shell all week. I figured out a secret. Hot bubble baths and reading are heavenly. Last couple of weeks just about kicked my butt, but I am proud to say, they did not. Well, okay, in the end I came out of it.

Hope to catch up now, but looks like you guys have been busy...might take me a couple of days.

Much Love :)

Called Baobab, in Madagascar.

Baobab flower essence is to help people of different cultures and communities live together in peace. The white flowers bloom infrequently, and open at night. The scent attracts fruit bats that help pollination.

Here's some specific info on the flower essence remedy. It sounds to me like the essence for the times.

The signature of the Baobab Flower Remedy is that it will assist in the spiritual transformation in the exciting times we live in at the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The flower is a large, white waxy flower with 5 petals. The flower has a prehistoric feel to it, and is pollinated by fruit bats. The Baobab has 5 petals and 5 leaves, and the number 5 in numerology represents the emotional plane (the heart). The flower essence relates specifically to the heart and crown chakras, opening our hearts and minds to the higher forces of the Universe. The essence will help people to see how spiritually we are all ONE on the same journey home. The word Baobab means "the time when man began", a time where we were all One and our journey home is to return to this state of being, oneness with other human beings and nature. The new millennium also marks a time for a new beginning of man and woman, as the consciousness of Oneness continues to expand and grow across the globe. It is a time where people are increasingly taking responsibility for their own lives, health and the environment rather than relying on governments or other institutions. The success of this journey will mean an end to all forms of war, oppression and ecological destruction as our respect for all life becomes central to our way of thinking. The Baobab Flower Essence is a gift from nature to help humanity on this journey. The ascending astrological sign of the Baobab Essence is Aries, which is the start of the zodiac and indicates the start of a new cycle.

The other distinctive feature of the Baobab Tree is that it can undergo a huge amount of mutilation, and still continue to thrive and heal. For example, I visited a Baobab Tree with a pub inside it near Magoebaskloof, which amazingly was still alive and well. This indicates that the Flower remedy of the tree can heal even the deepest scars and mutilation of body and spirit. It is a tree of incredible resilience, strength and self-healing properties. It is interesting that a Baobab Tree of South Africa has chosen to give us this gift, where the divide between black and white people has been most marked, and has caused very deep wounds and spiritual and emotional damage to both the oppressed and oppressors. The astrological birthchart of the essence also indicates that it can heal very deep wounds, particularly emotional and spiritual wounds. Chiron (the Wounded Healer Archetype), Vulcan (a hypothetical transneptunian planet who helps to put our dismembered and fragmented bits back together), Pluto (the unconscious and dark side) and the Sun (the heart) are all found in the 9th House of the Chart, the house of long distance travel. In one case the Baobab Essence healed a flesh wound virtually overnight.

Your tree Astrid is famous and cherished. Even has its own Wikipedia citation.

The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_live_oak) tree located in Angel Oak Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak_Park), in Charleston, South Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina), on Johns Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Island,_South_Carolina), one of South Carolina's Sea Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Islands). It is estimated to be 300-400 years old, stands 65 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and shades with its crown an area of 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak#cite_note-0) Its widest crown spread point-to-point is 180 ft, which is longer than any other live oak in the country. Its longest limb is 105 feet (32 m) in length. The tree and surrounding park have been owned by the city of Charleston since 1991.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak#cite_note-1)

Thought those two words would exaggerate the polarity ...two famous media clichés...which are constantly being used to capture attention...
also to avoid all ideas of either creation of life (gender related, ie sex) or destruction of life (violence) to leave it to the readers to examine their internal response, independently of language associations.
Hence I was really hoping to come up with a term that would be free from any association with either extreme, something very, very impartial. I'm now thinking more of blending, or mixing....deliberately non-poetic, words that would never manipulate any emotion so that the image can speak for itself.

I thought the same thing when I saw this picture, what a great live oak! Quercas Virginiana. My favorite tree. The colossal live oaks, the ones that survived, were virtually the only things still standing or living within a mile of the shore after Hurricane Katrina. They looked themselves as if they were in shock and suffered PTSD. They did, but they have survived. I've never been to John's Island, but now I have a reason to go there.

My favorite author is Henry Miller, and I was so proud when I read years ago in his book, "The Air Conditioned Nightmare": "At Biloxi, Mississippi, there is a row of live oaks planted a century ago by a Greek which are of such staggering loveliness and magnificence as to make one breathless." Elsewhere he wrote that it is in Biloxi where the Live Oaks trees stand in apotheosis. The Live oaks on the MS coast and elsewhere down there are such majestic sentient beings. Even amidst all the death and destruction that Katrina wrought, I grieved for those trees. So many died, but so many survived too, their limbs and boughs wearing the disjointed destruction like "red badges of courage" in defiant perseverance. Great trees without a doubt.

Sabian symbols from Lynda Hill ( just posted )

"I thought to post the Symbol for Mercury and Saturn today.

Mercury is on Scorpio 2: A BROKEN BOTTLE AND SPILLED PERFUME

This Symbol implies something fragile and beautiful that may somehow be
shattered or lost. It can also show the need to let things go and not hang onto
them to the point of shattering and loss. There will be times of building up
or concentrating your emotions until they are suddenly let out. There may be
little that you can do about the initial outburst, but you need to be careful of
what you say and do as you sort things out. Sometimes things need to be
“Broken” so that their contents can be released and fully appreciated or
revealed. The smell of “Perfume” can release memories of love, longing and
desire, but also anger, hurt or jealousy. Memories lingering on. Spilled emotions.
Scents or aromas. Upsetting people. Shattered emotions. Chiropractors.
Back surgeons. Genie let out of the bottle. Breaking glass.

The Caution: Things looking good, but contents disappointing.
The desire for drama. Bad smells. Substance abuse. Emotional mess.
Smelling salts. Passing out. Accidents.

and Saturn is on Scorpio

1: A SIGHT-SEEING BUS FILLED WITH TOURISTS
This Symbol speaks of taking in the world through the senses; seeing,
tasting, observing and getting in amongst what’s going on. There can be
a feeling of knowing one's destination, having a map or guide, but not always
knowing what it is truly like. One feels guided and cocooned on the journey,
but there can be feelings of being an observer and, sometimes, of being
observed. You could, at times, feel like you’re separate from what’s going on.
Pictures and souvenirs of your life (your journey) are likely to be collected.
The trick with this degree is to throw your self into life, reach out for all sorts
of adventures and, most of all, enjoy the journey! Observing life.
Foreign territories. Seeing how other people live. Timing, being on time.
Watching from afar. The untried and untrodden or the same old road.
UFOS and aliens.

The Caution: Feelings of naivety and gullibility. Feeling like an alien even in
familiar surroundings. Getting out of one’s depth. Separation anxiety.
Inability to concentrate."

The Sabian Symbol for the Sun today is
Libra 14: IN THE HEAT OF THE NOON, A PERSON TAKES A SIESTA

This Symbol speaks of taking a rest when one needs to. At times,
you may feel the need to take a break even though you are in the middle
of a situation. To relax and recuperate will often serve to give you
greater strength to complete the task at hand, also, being always on
the go can be rather wearying. However, being lazy and unproductive
is not the answer either. Taking a “Noon Siesta” can end up meaning
taking hours and hours off work and not managing to make progress
or get anywhere. Striking a balance between working too hard and not
working hard enough is definitely the key. Knowing when to stop.
Daydreams and fantasies. Meditation. Midday rushes. Snoozing.
Hammocks. Long lunch hours. Rejuvenation and the need for it.
Taking breaks.

The Caution: Wasting time. Disinterested. Losing energy or interest when
at the peak of activity or achievement OR refusing to take a break.
Dropping from exhaustion."

I'm now thinking more of blending, or mixing....deliberately non-poetic, words that would never manipulate any emotion so that the image can speak for itself.

There is no neutral term. ‘Merge’ certainly isn’t neutral. Highways (artificial constructs) merge, and so do corporations (fictitious entities claiming moral and even real person status). So language is going to let us down however hard we try. And emotion doesn’t even necessarily come into it at all. We talk of parent companies (in French of mother and daughters) in situations totally devoid of any human feeling.

The image itself does likewise. It is an artist’s impression based on a number of snapshots of different galaxies at different stages in a process of coming together that takes millions of years. There is no guarantee that some part of the process is not incorrect, maybe the film is running backwards at some point, and then we are back with deceptive narrative. You can reconstruct an egg on film by playing it backwards, but you still have to mop the floor.

Possibly the only way we humans can relate to an event of such magnitude in time and space is to view it in terms that are familiar to us. The death scenario is the usual one, the birthing scenario I don’t think I’ve seen before, but if you have, then all to the good. The constant bursting out of new life strikes me as being consistent with the notion of ongoing creation of which human reproduction can only give a woefully inadequate idea. There are also things to back up my statement.

First, the astronomer Tom van Flandern describes a theoretical mothering process whereby stars process planets in pairs: they emerge in opposite directions out of the star’s own material. He also suggests that planets behave similarly in producing moons, with smaller planets producing just one. (The likely artificial status of the Moon is probably irrelevant to this argument). If this were to be so, then logically, on the next higher scale up, galaxies might well do likewise. You can either see this as an anthropomorphic projection, or on the contrary as an astronomical template for the animal reproductive system.

Secondly, if you take Gaia as a living conscious entity (we do, don’t we?), and suns also – they are sublogoi of the galactic logos, to use Law of One terminology (although we are wary of channeled information!), a galaxy is the higher conscious being that takes care of our Sun and Earth and ultimately ourselves. It is the top of our family tree, and so there is nothing wrong in tracing some slight family resemblance. It produces a sense of oneness with the universe in a way that the opposite approach, via the violent scenario, does not.

But we are still operating within the finite, where duality rules. Galaxies are finite, just like us, and infinite, just like us.

I’d like to ‘marry’ this discussion, if I may, with the other one, on writing. For me, language is metaphorical, language is metaphor. To use a different one, you rub two (or more) ideas together and you obtain a spark of understanding.

My thoughts on the modern novel were far too incomplete, but they at least gave some idea of the paranormal things that begin to happen when the tale starts wagging the dog :)
One important notion theorized by postwar writers was to undermine the authority of the author figure (here we refer to the Ego). Roland Barthes even wrote an influential essay called ‘The Death of the Author’. There were practical experiments going on in creative writing workshops (this was long before the Internet) that came up against the problem of clashing Egos.

This forum, and especially the Village, is working towards finding a solution to collective creative writing that avoids the clash of Egos, i.e. by looking after each other first, rather than imposing our own views. We all contribute our differently coloured tiles to the evolving mosaic, hence the magic fairytale element. In other words, the medium is the message, and the message is love. Obviously this cannot be conceived in terms of the sex-violence duality, for in those terms it would be something like total promiscuity :)

Ok, I take your point. Love it is. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.....
now that we have established that we are having this loving dance here, lets dance.
I just don't want the experience to become erotic, but something entirely different,
more of a lasting transformation than sensual thrills. A state that leaves all of us permanently connected, yet free.
A soul group which has a life that can last over eons of time, if not eternity.
And you are right about language. Like style in general, it signals a vibratory rate that can attract or repel.
Otherwise I'd be dancing with everyone who ever uttered the words "we're all one".
I find those who make that claim consistently are the first to fragment and break away.
Even these absolute staterments can then be seen in a larger context to be relative, as your response to me demonstrated. So, thanks again, araucaria.

Today has been one of those days.
Many seemingly independent events, "workings" and even people are starting to
converge into a crescendo. This whole last month of withdrawing,
eating very very pure foods, and working very hard on clearing out past
garbage has all been for an upcoming event that today just got dropped
into my lap. Intense is an understatement.
THIS is exactly what i have been waiting for, my hands are no longer tied,

Good news...Jim and Fatima, and several of her family members, have left Turkey and are on their way to the states. Looking forward to seeing them...Jim says things are not as we are being told (quick! look surprised!). Thank you so much for your prayers and intentions.

In the midst of a very busy day yesterday, I decided to take a little time for myself. Stopped in at a walk-in hair salon for a trim of dead ends....and walked out with hair 12 inches shorter. Turns out they work with Locks of Love...a group that takes donated hair and makes real hair wigs for women with cancer who are left bald after chemo. I still have shoulder length hair...feels very strange...but it will grow back.

I really like Mod's idea of having "ways" instead of "rules". We've come through a difficult time with a clearer idea of who we are as a Village, gathering together as tho' called for a greater purpose, and a path of healing and miracles set before us if we so choose to walk it together...all under ulli's vision of what we could be and do...yes, the title "ulli, Village Sage" fits rather well.

The Way of the Village...mutual respect...sharing each others growth, healing, and acceptance...clarity in our words and understandings...

I'll stop there...not very coherent nor poetic after only 4 hours sleep.

Damn, this thing posted before I was ready. Don't you hate that!

Did you give them permission to cut your hair after they told you about the wigmakers, as a voluntary act, or did they just do it and then give you the story about the women with cancer? I don't mean to be petty here but stories like this always get my alarm bells to go off. I have stopped responding to calls from charity workers unless I know more about the organization.
So many are rackets and our money feeds same dark forces of the cabal that we are trying to disconnect from. So unless I can see where my money is going I would rather hang on to it until I meet an individual who can't afford to buy a wig.

[Belle]

Yes, I was asked and I gave permission....to everyone's surprise. My surprise was not knowing that this particular salon was involved with this program when I walked in the door. I have donated my hair to Locks of Love once before, known people who have donated their hair, as well as two women who were recipients of the wigs. One of the recipients, my friend Fay, has very little in the way of resources and/or possessions but her heart is huge. The gift of a donated real hair wig meant a lot to her...having breast cancer and a mastectomy caused her to feel less a woman...with the wig she felt 'beautiful' again...something she could not have afforded to purchase on her own. There are few women like my cousin Mary who had breast cancer and a mastectomy also, but who wore her baldness openly...knowing her inner beauty and joy even amidst the difficulty shone brightly enough that a wig was not necessary.

[AriG]

Belle, I've often wondered about that organization, but since I have been growing out for two years, I haven't investigated. Do they accept hair that has been chemically processed ( highlights)?

[Belle]

Hi AriG! As far as I know, they do not take hair that has been chemically treated. At one point they did not take hair that had grey in it, but now they do...so it may change in the future.

Good Morning :)

So nice to be catching up. In every way. It is 54F degrees and cloudy/overcast. I think it is a homemade soup day. I learned, over the past week, that it is important to take care of myself in all ways even when I don't feel like it is helping. When I don't, it obviously does nothing...so even if I don't feel it the results would at worst be the same and at best they would make a difference, even slight is an improvement but it may be a huge improvement. Never know... Confidence. Faith.

Operation Laundry Room is a huge success so far. MamaDog and her belly full of puppies are seeming to like sleeping in the warmth and safety. Unfortunately, she left me a little present this morning, and it did not come from the back half. Gross. Anyway, the other day it was so beautiful I opened all the windows, including one that doesn't have a screen. She and Devin hopped inside at some point while I was out. When I came in, she was in her spot in the laundry room even though she could have run the whole house. Good! I'm reminded of Gone With the Wind, though, I don't know nuthin 'bout birthin' no puppies...I will have to draw on inner reserves when the time comes. Dang, this dog is stupid. With a dog to compare him to, I can see that Devin thinks and acts like a human being, whereas she has no smarts whatsoever. Trying my patience, she is. I've never had a stupid dog before :/ And, I need to find a way to get the fleas, et al, off of her without hurting the puppies. Forget about a bath. We have given her a couple outside, and she is not aggressive but she didn't enjoy the process. It's too cold now, but not for the parasites.

Today will be fun, Em and I are smudging the house. I promise not to report on that (hahahahha) though I expect no deep releases. We also plan to place a salt circle around the house, though I doubt it will be circular.

Tomorrow Mike is coming to work in the yard for the day. We couldn't do that for his birthday as it rained and rained and rained. I hope we can get the mower tire fixed for good...I will send out good vibes about how wonderful the experience of mowing is and maybe that will help haha.

Have a good day, all...

Much Love to Us,

[Belle]

Food grade diatomaceous earth works wonders for getting rid of fleas....just be cautious not to inhale the 'puffs' that come up when you sprinkle it on Mama.

Had a pregnant dog once that did not want me to leave her during her contractions and the birth process...if I walked away, she would follow me, sides heaving. I understand that is quite unusual.

[Carmody]

For me, the link in the adverts, was 'ask.com', and the question was..."who really shot JFK?".

My, my, how things change.

Received this in my e-mail today. They won their case against the Ecuadorian government and oil companies.

k8XMGTF95pM

Children of the Jaguar is a campaign documentary about the struggle of the Sarayaku indigenous community of Ecuador in order to defend their human rights and the right of many other communities across the Americas. A few years ago, the government authorised an oil company to enter Sarayaku's land and drill for oil. Neither the government nor the company consulted with Sarayaku whether the project was in line with their traditions and way of life. Since then, Sarayaku has been campaigning for justice and redress, including the removal of 1.4 tons of explosives which are still buried on their ancestral land. They are also defending their right to be consulted regarding further development projects which may affect them in the future.

Having exhausted all judicial avenues at home, the Sarayaku have taken their case to the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human Rights. Children of the Jaguar follows the Sarayaku delegation as they make their way to the highest regional court in the Americas. If they win, the court's decision will benefit Sarayaku and many other Indigenous groups across the region. It will send a powerful message to all governments asking them to consult with Indigenous communities and request their consent before carrying out development projects that may affect their lives.

http://amazonwatch.org/work/sarayaku The Kichwa made world news headlines recently by winning their case before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, landing a major victory for indigenous self-determination in the face of egregious industrial development threats. Tupak Amaru Viteri Gualinga, community Vice President, and historic Sarayaku leader, Marlon Santi, will share their inspiring story.


To all my indigenous and traditional Grandfathers, Grandmothers and Brothers & Sisters may Peace be yours

We all have tribal connections - it is our Earth Connection and no matter who we are, or what color skin we have - we have one, and it's time we honored it, loved it, and embraced it. Humans are Tribal and Celestial - it is our "work" to balance the two in love and harmony. May beauty be yours in all ways.

Lots of stuff here, I decided to share it because I have a hunch some of you might be interested ;)

The Return of the Divine Feminine

Saturn is moving out of Libra today - it has been there for 2 and a half years. Many people frown on Saturn because it is restrictive, limiting and disciplinary, but that is leaning more towards the afflicted Saturn.

With the help of Uranus squaring Pluto, Saturn is allowing Consciousness altering breakthroughs that will help us to deeply see what our World, ourselves and humanity needs most.

IF we look to someone else to decide this for us - we are missing the mark and not working on developing self-awareness, intuition and discernment and this is crucial during this time. We must become personally empowered in our own truth because where our power is and where our intention and beliefs are - determines what timeline we are on.

Service to others and allowing Spirit to inhabit the human vessel - thinking from the Heart and increasing the Universal Love & Wisdom energy from within, is just a necessary foundation to begin with to avoid timelines that are less than desirable or liberating.

Saturn afflicted in our World today has to do with the false authority structures, control agendas and repressive forces. When we work with Saturn though and release ourselves from the afflicted version that we are up against in the outer World - we find that its attributes can be utilized in a most positive way, especially when it transits, enters our sign or is dominant in our charts.

It is all about refining ourselves, helping us to stand in our mission and in our Power - it helps with boundaries and for us to cut away energies and people that no longer are healthy for our life-path, so we can then draw in those we can really commit and devote ourselves to...

It allows us to finally Master the forces that have constricted us or made us insecure or the feeling of being beaten down, silenced, or blocked.

It limits our desire for excess, it assists us to see who we truly are, by pulling us into more self-responsibility, it disciplines us to change worn out habits and negative patterns and It helps us to take that old voice of authority and return it to Gaia and Cosmos, so that we can really utilize the positive polarity of Saturn and then allow it to work in our World to create change.

In doing this we get closer and closer to moving into the center of the Wheel, awakening to our Wholeness and natural Divine essence, that the zodiac helps us as a map to find - so that we can then liberate ourselves from the Wheel.

In the two and a half years Saturn was in my Sun sign Libra - it did all those amazing things for me and I thank Saturn so deeply for the tough love - it is really a part of ourselves that is ready to show up!

Now it is moving into Scorpio - so allow it to work for you, it will be highlighting areas of ones life related to power, death, re-birth, sexual energy, transformation - it will help you bring in a higher energy and expression. Allow its disciplinary nature and its teacher quality, to show you how these forces are best worked with, rather than the way the afflicted Saturn and false authority structures and social conditionings have taught or influenced us.

These planets help our inner work and they don't help us when we count on the outer world for answers, that is why it is a blessing when we can come face to face with it - because its highest octave is always the force that wants our attention and that comes from the Cosmic intelligence of the Creator - not the perverted afflicted intelligence of the illuminati- that can serve as a dark teacher, but only up to a certain point.

We are the ones to take the afflicted negative polarity of how these planetary forces have been used and turn it into its highest expression for ultimate freedom! That is why it is awesome to be challenged in life - it allows you to make the most potent choices for your journey, so choose the higher road and allow the inner guidance to show you the way by getting to know yourself deeply inwardly and Spiritually.

[christian]

Just seen that, another case of ridiculously contemptuous and bold words of a prominent politician - in your face.

Tb4zYGMRzkA

In Germany there are elections this year as well.

Peer Steinbrück, the designated challenger of Chancellor Merkel gets asked why he wants to become chancellor.

His answer is quite revealing: "Ambition, vanity, recognition. I'm just like an average viewer of this show."

[Chester]

No, I would have marched it off somewhere. But spiders usually have their own space. If it had got in bed with us, like yours did, I would have definitely done something though, so I am not criticizing in any way.

I love spiders. They catch the mosquitoes sometimes in their webs. If one is scary to me I catch it and put it outside.

[Chester]

Im trying to stir this process at the thread level, trusting the ultimate outcome.
Some of us can see it will work, others have reservations as they are still attached to a variety of different models,
whether student_teacher, or everyone totally equal...some want anarchy, others (few) top down hierarchy.

What this thread is about only I as thread owner can define:
and some have already seen my model and believe in it, hence they have offered to support this venture.

Basically two ideologies are being blended here...merging just like these two disc galaxies.

Vertical Hierarchy with ulli as thread owner...or Village Mayor
and Horizontal Equality with ulli as simple Villager.
Anyone who wants either one without the other
or wants to remove me completely (not unheard of historically)
needs to form or find another thread on this vast forum.

I wouldn't worry about it. I had even forgot about last weekend. Clearly the thread is alive and well and proved stronger than the anti-energies. Its a good thread. I am glad I found it. I just spent the last hour wondering through this village and saw birds and gentle streams, a cool Beatles video and a bunch of people waving Hi to each other. Can't think of a better place to be on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

[Chester]

So that gif I posted on the previous page of the merging galaxies led me to hunt a bit further.
Here we find not only two galaxies dancing together into a single one, but a group.
Gives the word cluster f*ck an entirely new meaning. (I'm not a swinger, and shame on all those who have a dirty mind! ;-))

wyS1eHXe75U

as I said a while back on some thread, galaxies don't collide, maybe they make love, and we are like some uncomprehending child

Signs of the times...sex and violence...

how about MERGE... ?
(oh no, thats what big business does)

...is there any way of expressing this blending process with a more neutral association?

We use words to communicate - we have to use words to do so in a forum. Sad to me that people attach to trending word associations and then eliminate the word from usage even though in some instances that word may very well be the best word to apply.

Words are just words - pointers at best to what can't be spoken.

I was recently invited to join another forum. I wrote back and stated I had fantasized in the past what it might be like to be involved in this forum. The forum creator didn't write back and so I wrote back again. When I finally got the reply I realized that because I used the word "fantasize" this forum owner seemed to think I meant the word in some sexual way and perhaps even towards her! Now I may have taken the response incorrectly but I realized my decision to only put my time and energy into Avalon is the best idea anyways and am now glad I did not bite. Still... words. Anyways, I am having good days these days and decided it was a good time to stop by the village and enjoy other quantum beings. Enjoy the end of the day (to those in the west)! Chester

[Flash]

Talking of communication, my daughter is presently, at this very moment, reading a book and truly enjoying it, stopping to tell me the story and what she thinks the unforlment will be (mystery novel), while I am writing here.

I am soooooo glad that she now truly enjoys reading even if it demands quite a lot of efforts from her, and that she is sharing it with me. Soooo glad you would not believe how happy and hopeful for her it makes me, knowing where she started from.

Your tree Astrid is famous and cherished. Even has its own Wikipedia citation.

The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_live_oak) tree located in Angel Oak Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak_Park), in Charleston, South Carolina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston,_South_Carolina), on Johns Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Island,_South_Carolina), one of South Carolina's Sea Islands (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Islands). It is estimated to be 300-400 years old, stands 65 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and shades with its crown an area of 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2).[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak#cite_note-0) Its widest crown spread point-to-point is 180 ft, which is longer than any other live oak in the country. Its longest limb is 105 feet (32 m) in length. The tree and surrounding park have been owned by the city of Charleston since 1991.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angel_Oak#cite_note-1)

Reading a book my daughter gave me the other day that dips into a century of French Secret Service files. Here are a couple of items: useless information but neat synchronicities :)

There is a file on the WWI carrier pigeons I mentioned a while back. My info came from a visit to Douaumont near Verdun about 7 years ago. This file describes the ‘Pearson’ method of parachuting pigeons behind enemy lines from eg Sopwith Camels, and puzzlement over strings of tiny holes on some of their feathers (injury or code?). The most famous of the estimated 300,000 WWI pigeons was General Pershing’s Bel Ami, which was decorated for saving a US infantry division in October, and is preserved at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. Useless information, I did warn you.

Another file relates to my recent allusion to ‘Heanzes beanzes’ as we used to call them (I never touched them myself :)). Apparently there was great concern over the firm of Maggi (pronounced ‘magie’, French for magic), producers of cubes of meat stock, and reported to the government as being a ‘Franco-Boche’ corporation. The advertising campaign since 1908 had been selling the Kub called the ‘K’, and emphasizing this particularity of German spelling. It became the subject of popular fiction, and the appearance of numerous metal advertising plaques allegedly marked the route to be taken by a German invasion, with secret intel supposedly inscribed on the reverse side!

Here is something you may not know: the Cubist art movement got its name generally from the cubic shapes in the paintings of Picasso and Braque, but more specifically from the Maggi Kub in Picasso’s Landscape with Posters
http://blistar.net/photos/1070-97#

The Maggi cube is still going strong a century later, but nowadays the emphasis is on the magic. Maybe the magic is to do with the Franco-German element. The European Union gest a bad press in the alternative media these days, but I’d like to emphasize something positive about it. It was originally conceived, at least by the idealists in the mix, as a way to stop the endless wars between the French and the Germans. By that yardstick, the enterprise has been an astounding success, as the very idea has now become totally unthinkable. Over 100 million people have gradually taken on board that very difficult lesson, ‘Love your enemy’. We need something like that in the Middle East.

[ulli]

Countries have been forming blocks, or trade-free regions, all over the globe.
As well as the European Community you have Caricom....The Caribbean version.
I know there are others, but I only know about how Caricom was formed,
and the subsequent improvements as well as frustrations this brought to the Caribbean region.
Avalon has had a similar process happen...people have started to form alliances, groups....some have even referred to the word " cliques" on my satirical thread which I had called The Daily Hammer, and which is now lost somewhere.
They appeared to be quite upset that such cliques existed, perhaps they were feeling left out. I thought that maybe some were referring to the Village, but after a while realized I was being paranoid...they meant different groups. Anyway...I was not aware of this as I had focused more on the Village than elsewhere. Anyhow, the fact is, there are always processes going on. Nothing remains static. The fact that alliances come about cannot be denied...the question arises, what is the spirit identity of each such alliance. How can they be defined, and how do they differ from one another?
It has became clear to me that some deal with processing ET reality, others process individual healing, while we here have been practicing with something more far out, namely weather control. And this had to have brought us some attention from high places and subsequently a whole new ball game. The old Village is dead. Long live the Village.

I finally had time to watch this clip. Only after the second time did I see it in the proper context, and understood what this was about. It was a tongue-in-cheek reply...a bit of sarcasm there...which in some countries is considered culturally ok, while in others it is not, but taken at face value.

A SNL (Saturday Night Live) type of TV show, where they cut a clip from an interview with the candidate, then took his reply to the question 'why was he running for office' which was "ambition, vanity, recognition...just like the average viewer of this show" ...he had clearly said this as a joke,
but then the show put the pieces together in a new way, and gave it the semi-serious angle when the guy on the plane says at the end..."How can he say that??? Its about the country, not the people!!!
Public viewer manipulation. One either gets the joke or one doesn't. Depends on perspective.
I'm against campaigning, period.

....... After the divorce of my first wife, the awesome Lucifera (as I lovingly refer to her), I discovered how one can actually show love in the form of one single, simple two letter word - "No."

We should introduce Lucifera to my second ex-husband, Satan in a Business Suit...and I mean that in the nicest way.Only if Lucifera is beyond child-bearing age!

Dennis

We have three sons - three of the coolest dudes around. She also has been a great Mom in her "special way." She has also been my greatest teacher too (without a doubt).

She is also Queen Witch Incarnate of all the MultiVerse and Beyond. Gotta love her, Goddess Lucifera...

"I always love you, Baby" - she knows that though and hates it too... hahaha I am sure she'll win the next round.

Here and now...what's happening?
It is 6:40 am and inside my home it is incredibly peaceful. Husband in bed next to me, with his iPad, reading some Spanish language website on Freemasonry, and occasionally sharing what he is reading.
While I'm trying to collect some thoughts I had earlier on the meaning of context and consequence...
both of which are really important to me. I found that most clashes happen when either one of those two is not being considered.
Context can be seen summed up in the question "where am I now, in relation of the greater whole?"
And 'consequence' is about the flow and the direction of one's intent, like
"What might happen if I were to choose this path rather than that one?" when faced with a fork in the road.
If each of us were to ask ourselves either one of those two questions and contemplated an answer we could have a smoother ground for our relationships.

The context in this clip is a SNL type of show, of course, as you can tell by the scene in the 'airplane' and the subsequent laughter. But the excerpt from the interview was from a serious show and the candidate really did address the average viewers of that serious TV format. You could still call it tongue-in-cheek or sarcasm, but it's revealing anyways, I find.

The original interviewed aired at "Farbe Bekennen" (http://www.daserste.de/information/politik-weltgeschehen/farbe-bekennen/index.html) ---> "showing your true colors".

Sorry to burst in with this question, but as a parent who has experienced divorce twice
I'm now asking if there is such a thing as "win the next round" in the cooperate endeavor of raising children?

The more sensitive one is the more layers one can detect, and I agree that such an answer, even if said as a joke, is still revealing. In plain sight comes to mind.
But then there is another layer, that of a human being trying to be transparent, and confessing their baser motives.
Ambition and desire for recognition come from ego, and many people who have adopted eastern philosophies nowadays hold prejudices against ego.

So that opens a whole new discussion about the practical value of such philosophies, and even should these be considered as absolute truth, or just put alongside others and evaluated independently by each individual personally.

[Carmody]

Countries have been forming blocks, or trade-free regions, all over the globe.
As well as the European Community you have Caricom....The Caribbean version.
I know there are others, but I only know about how Caricom was formed,
and the subsequent improvements as well as frustrations this brought to the Caribbean region.
Avalon has had a similar process happen...people have started to form alliances, groups....some have even referred to the word " cliques" on my satirical thread which I had called The Daily Hammer, and which is now lost somewhere.
They appeared to be quite upset that such cliques existed, perhaps they were feeling left out. I thought that maybe some were referring to the Village, but after a while realized I was being paranoid...they meant different groups. Anyway...I was not aware of this as I had focused more on the Village than elsewhere. Anyhow, the fact is, there are always processes going on. Nothing remains static. The fact that alliances come about cannot be denied...the question arises, what is the spirit identity of each such alliance. How can they be defined, and how do they differ from one another?
It has became clear to me that some deal with processing ET reality, others process individual healing, while we here have been practicing with something more far out, namely weather control. And this had to have brought us some attention from high places and subsequently a whole new ball game. The old Village is dead. Long live the Village.

I have a friend who visualized it as 'bowls'. That the world, regarding the basics of human grouping, ie small/medium/large (depends) groups are organized into groups of bowls. (mostly speaking about perception and idealization of human cliques, smaller groups) Some larger, some smaller. That one could be immersed in one, and see all the people around them..down at the bottom of this bowl. And then see some of the people on the slopes, if that given bowl had enough people in it to see them, those who where on the sloped part. Those at the bottom of the bowl could not see anything outside of the bowl. For the ones on the slopes..the height affords a better view at the same time the lip of the bowl is closer. To know the lip and the freedom- or stepping out..is there.

Then then there are those who tend to traverse the edges of the bowls, looking into them and seeing the other bowls around, all over the place. She said that she'd try the bowls out, some times, to go down into them and join the group for a while, if they seemed interesting, but that she tended to walk around the lips of the bowls, simply looking in. And that walking around the edges gave her the chance or opportunity to see all the given bowls as the separate items and contrivances that they where. To look into the 'one way glass' houses, as it where, but to not go in.

I found that it was a good alternative visualization of the human issue or herd problem, as when one is at the bottom and fully immersed, vision outside of the bowl...for the larger part...ends. Standard 'center of the herd' issues.

The thing is that nothing 'happens' at the center of the herd. Nothing. Only that which has been aided in capacity for formation can occur in the center of the herd.

Anything that happens there is brought into existence, or given the capacity to form, by what has come from the edge of the herd. some might say yes,and no. But in my experience, the real 'control' comes from the edge of the herd. That in the dynamics of human or earth type herding, that all is filtered or allowed to reach core, via the edge or boundary conditions. Thus all new, all change, all control, all allowance of anything, all creation of any condition or precondition, occurs at the edge. Politicians, for example, and even corporations or military.....are merely change markers that are brought into the center of the herd and then are tasked to begin moments of sync or crystallization, nothing more.

Thus, trying to control or ride the core, with regard to being 'change' or trying to fix the core, it means almost nothing and will likely never work. In that case, one is trying to use an energetic precondition that someone/something else has created. Thus, the idea of 'seizing the day' from a moment realized, realized at and from within the center of the herd, can be seen as being the near impossible wall to climb, that it really is.

Everything is a cascade or motion that can ultimately be found to source from the edge.

Thus a saying of mine, when people say to me that I'm a bit too far out. 'Normal....is for average', I tell them.

I used to be at the bottom of such a bowl, but after a while sat on the upper rim, from where I discerned that all those bowls were actually disintegrating, at an increasing rate, and beneath them there appeared a Super Bowl....excuse the rather sporty metaphor....question is who is really in charge of that one, and if at all....

Off now to the ruins of Ujarras, where there is a small outdoor morning concert of indigenous music....all very spontaneous...
Lets see where that venture leads...the lady we now have to give a lift to is the one who organized it and she also finances the travels of the Dalai Lama...Ulli always has lots of questions about all of that, being a notorious outsider.

[Carmody]

When reading my last post, one might notice that all efforts to control humanity, all contrivances, ultimately, originate from the edges of human perception and knowing. All effort to maintain control, is centered in that area, the very finely feathered edge-limit of all things human connected. Some understand this, some do not, so I'm mentioning it again, in a different context and way. To me, it is a very important thing to understand, and to use in one's long term and daily analysis of human flow. If not, one is left floundering, not knowing where, how, or when the waves are coming from and thus, never finding the 'way' to gain 'sea legs'. The metaphysical version of the thousand yard stare/look.

I am discovering how everything boils down to a personal decision to be in relationship with others (and all life for that matter) or not. It has become that simple to me now. I either chose to be in relationship with other quantum beings and non-quantum beings... or not.

I found I prefer to not be lonely more than I prefer to rule all material realms. I am glad I discovered this ultimate choice. I am glad I chose to be in relationship with all.

Love to All and Enjoy the Day - justone

Its funny... the other day I stumbled while walking down the outside steps of our home (this was not at this now moment... was a few days ago). I realized a brick had come loose. I used to just call a repair man when I encountered a problem like this but I have been broke lately. So I called the local masonic lodge and asked if they had any free masons free to come by and help repair the broken step. They didn't even laugh and all I heard was a click. What gives? justoneclown

Well - at least we know the real truth... that he's in it to change the world for the better. Why do I know this is true? Because he's a politician and they only know how to lie. Thus he can't fool me he's in it for vanity and ambition and all the other stuff he stated.

Exactly my point - we all lose as long as one is at war... and I hope one day she sees its slightly selfish to conduct some silly war all the rest of us left long, long ago because she identified the last and only battleground available - our children. Fortunately though she is outnumbered 4 who love her against one, herself, that has yet to discover how to love herself. Smiles! Chester

Exceedingly well explained, that bowls view. It also gives if not the how, at least the where one has to work on. Funny this goes for inner finding as well as social, earth like etc. It applies pretty much everywhere. If you would not have mentioned a "she" I could have swear it was a "he" that I know who shared that with you. I had heard the same example used in the definition and comprehension of Karma.

The fringe areas on the rim are the site of the paranormal, which as Sheldrake explains, does not mean rare, simply unexplainable by the normal scientific paradigm. We are engaged in a process whereby the rim becomes more occupied by what was formerly at the bottom - something akin to beating egg whites.

Had a wonderful day.
This is where we first met at 9:30 am...everyone getting to know one another.

http://www.govisitcostarica.com/images/photos/full-ruinas-of-ujarras.jpg

Musicians from Spain and Costa Rica...Celtic music as well as Sanscrit mantras, some indigenous...
about thirty people, investigating our place for possible future venues, hanging out and chanting and playing.

lKX5I2shVSI
When we got to our house by the river a couple from the Boruca tribe conducted a ceremony...
this gentleman was the first indigenous person ever to study at the Sorbonne in Paris...

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

Then to lunch at the restaurant that now stands at the spot where Edmund Bordeaux Szekely lived at the end of his life and translated part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the part on peace.
He was buried in our valley. One of the organizers of the local Essenes group gave a talk. There was also a Spanish priest who had brought his wife...unusual because the Catholic church never disrobed him after he married her. Things are truly changing.

Its funny... the other day I stumbled while walking down the outside steps of our home (this was not at this now moment... was a few days ago). I realized a brick had come loose. I used to just call a repair man when I encountered a problem like this but I have been broke lately. So I called the local masonic lodge and asked if they had any free masons free to come by and help repair the broken step. They didn't even laugh and all I heard was a click. What gives? justoneclown

Thanks Justone for making me laugh out loud. I only have a moment before going off to hopefully dreamtime so I can work my last night of graveyard for the week. Woo Hoo. I just made the epic move from h*ll. Only across town but had unique challenges that lets me know I still have a few things to work on. It's always good to go to sleep with a smile though.

Carmody's bowl post this morning was quite prophetic.
When we got there we had to wait for the others at the entrance gate, and I looked up to the steep hills all around us and realized that we were at the bottom of a perfect bowl.
Then the first musicians arrived and after we were all introduced to each other three of them started to chant, and it was penetrating, the sound of a Tibetan singing bowl.
Similar to this sound, but only human voices.

I am discovering how everything boils down to a personal decision to be in relationship with others (and all life for that matter) or not. It has become that simple to me now. I either chose to be in relationship with other quantum beings and non-quantum beings... or not.

I found I prefer to not be lonely more than I prefer to rule all material realms. I am glad I discovered this ultimate choice. I am glad I chose to be in relationship with all.

Love to All and Enjoy the Day - justone

Welcome, welcome, welcome. You have come home. Nothing matters, but this decision. Moment by moment.
You don't have to be stuck in either one...life is rhythmic.
Decide on the now that is in front of you, and then decide on your response, keeping in mind the consequences and future responses.
A bit like chess.

Such beauty.

Hello All:

It is 5:48am Est. Monday morning.

The Planet Saturn moved into Scorpio from it's stay in Libra on Friday. Saturn was visiting Libra for the past 2 1/2 years. I felt the shift. I sensed a deeper connection with self. For me, it brought a sigh of relief, for the depth of understanding that I have moved into these past days.

Interestingly, I have been moved to let go of so much of the 'confusion' of the information darting hither and thither these past few years.
"the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" :{

or,

simply my soul's journey of growth...

With this new feeling of rootedness...I found myself finally watching Inellia Benz and breathing a bit more easily.

I finally 'exhalled'...

For whatever reason, and for all reasons, it was that way for me.

I then came across this bit of information.

It took me further along on my journey of self-responsibility, maturity, awareness of who I really am, and pure joy.

Fear is the only piece that holds me back.

I now proclaim 'no fear' .....hehehe just for today.

I do hope this information is found to be helpful to someone!

Sincerely,
Anastasia

The UFO Seduction
By Kelly La Sha and Perry Mills


The dark ones have been in control of our planet and our souls in order to feed off of our energy for thousands of years. They have intentionally severed our connection from: higher Self, Our Loving Creator, and the extraordinary power of Love. They have co-opted and wrapped lies around every saint that has ever incarnated here by creating religions that infested our minds with shame, guilt, repressed sensuality, and the fear of God itself. Their agenda is to further distract us from awakening to our soulful sovereignty and our real opportunity for Ascension by enticing us with “channeled misinformation”, UFO’s, ET’s, “full disclosure”, and divisively impressive 4D technologies.


As the questions rage across the Internet on whether we should embrace the interventions of extraterrestrial races, the attentions of innocent and concerned citizens of Earth are inadvertently being captivated. The conversation has gotten people more excited about “being saved from ourselves” than has it addressed their own sovereign soulful capacity to create the life they desire.


As soul, where our attention lives, we are. If the sky turned red, and you were totally distracted watching the television, that real occurrence would be unknown to you. In like fashion, the world of real facts and possibilities has been masked by propaganda and the loud assertions of political, religious and scientific leaders. By their exaggerated influence in society, they have captivated the whole world population with their ability to steer public perceptions as to what life is, what their purpose in it might be, how to remain safe, and what the mere citizen can reasonably expect to achieve. Perception is real power, and where our attention is captivated defines what the quality and content of our awareness becomes. And where our awareness goes, so does our entire life experience.

The first requirement for capturing the attention of people is to convince them that they are incapable of steering their own lives. The social engineers have succeeded in making the average person very unsure of their capacity or worthiness. And worse, they have caused us to doubt our divine heritage, our soul sovereignty, and our ability to connect directly to our Creator. When one is unsure and insecure, he gives away his power to those that claim to know better. This may be nothing new to the avid seeker of this age, but has the seeking soul just substituted ET’s into the role that the former leaders and pundits held. And worse, in so doing, have we jumped from the frying pan into the fire?


It is time to ask, “What is the agenda behind full disclosure and UFO’s landing before December 21, 2012?” If we accumulate the information that is circulating throughout the Internet, we can dig a little deeper behind the agenda of each race that is suggesting that they are here to “help us”.




Many of the messages from ETs come from channeled material. We seem to trust channelers and put them on a pedestal when we believe that we don’t have the same kind of special access… and then we never bother to ask the most pertinent questions that reveal the agendas behind their contact. Many of the you-tube videos, websites and blogs that post UFO footage pose a blanket presentation that all UFOs and ETs are benevolent and part of our Galactic Family that are only here to help us. There is no discernment made between metallic UFOs, mother ships, and orbs; when in reality, there is a vast difference between the malevolent agendas of certain 3D/4D beings (spacecraft) and the benevolent intentions behind 5D beings (orbs).


So let’s review what we know of some of the alien contact that we know of already. Countless alien abductions have been perpetrated by beings that are bypassing the Universal agreement of the Law of One; that we do not impose on another’s free will. What is the agenda behind ET’s who are abducting humans against their will, fragmenting their souls with terror, and raping them of their genetic material, while severely damaging female reproductive organs in the process? I understand that they want to evolve their race, yet it is abusively overstepping their power and creating victims in the process… the DNA “donors” as well as the hybrid children that they have created. And now we are all looking up to the night sky in naive fascination to see UFO’s without using any discernment to see the agendas behind the various crafts. Our desperate view of our own stunted capacity has landed us on our knees in front of our new redeemers, when our only true hope is in awakening our relationship with our divine source.


The Greys have openly communicated this to one channeler, “It is time for us to relieve the Earth from her inhabitants.“ Such a statement implies that we are lowly parasites on the earth and they intend to take us off of the planet to save her! And where do you think we will be taken? You might want to ask what their exact agenda is before boarding any spacecraft.


There are several ET races with a similar agenda. They fall under the general category of malevolent 3D and 4D ETs. Their main project involves UFO’s landing impressively to advise us and entice us to revere them for their “higher technology”, then to board their ships to escape the Armageddon and thereby “save” the earth from us and “save” us from her. When in actuality they are harvesting souls as their slaves and their energetic food source. Their message is clear; that humans are a diseased race that cannot possibly help itself out of this mess without their superior technology and more evolved guidance. Will you abandon your sovereignty and lay it at the feet of another being?


In the meantime, their intention is to distract us from the present event of the Ascension by wooing us with their spacecraft and speaking half truths embedded with lies that promise us technological assistance and “freedom”... if we just wait a little longer. Which of these contacts, if any, are speaking to the individual soul’s need for reconnection to their own innate sovereignty? A sovereign being takes its orders directly from its inner connection, how it feels, and what it hears from the whispers of its own intuition.


Therefore, we must use our intuition to discern the information coming from various channelers who are supposedly representing 5D beings and innocently labeling them as: The Andromeda Council, Pleiadians, Galactic Federation of Light, and others who claim to come here to help us. So I suggest we all ask the question to these beings, “What is your intention? And specifically how do we as individual sovereign souls benefit from your intervention?”


As we gain more understanding of our personal Ascension, we are realizing that souls that are incarnate at this time are already benefiting from this opportune time of the planetary Ascension. The planetary Ascension is only an “event” in the sense that it is a phase of time before and after our galactic alignment with Hunab Ku, our Galactic Center. But concurrently, we as individual souls, are in the midst of this accelerated frequency shift as well. We must not forget that Ascension is an organic process that each soul engages by its own volition. In a personal way, each soul reaches inwardly by the use of intention and reverence to make contact with its creator. With the purpose of awakening to its own divine identity, it thereby sheds the lies that it had been formerly indoctrinated to believe. If we can realize that we are at the end of a dark patriarchal cycle, and have the full capacity to claim back what has been taken from us, then we can realize the point of it all. The soul gains from this experience NOW, stretching itself to heal and awaken inside of the belly of the beast. All souls and universes change in just this fashion, from the inside out.


So, it is our assertion that the prime directive of each and every sovereign soul, is to be in direct relationship with their creator, personally, internally, reverently, sacredly, and energetically, in order to participate in the creative work of God. Any person, entity, deity, or pseudo-authority, who decided for you that you need them to know your God, are misleading, disabling, vampiring you and using your energy while asking you to wait and wait for some “reward day.” And while you wait, they have succeeded in distracting you from your precious attention while they are sucking from you your vital sovereignty.


So, what is the alternative to the popular fascination with these potentially disempowering ET/channelled influences? As long as everyone is comfortable with hypotheticals, let’s try this one on for size:


You are already a 5th dimensional soul who incarnated in 3D and 4D forms. In alignment with your divine creator, you made a clear choice to imbue 5th dimensional virtues in the most remote regions of time and space. You come from Love and your gift to the worlds of 3D and 4D is love. In the unique challenge that you have chosen, you have been fitted with 4D bodies and then 3D forms. As this is the only way that 5D souls can engage these regions, you made contracts to work within the nature of your borrowed forms, and many have lost their memories in the process. As you awaken to your true heritage as 5D, you are checking your work to see if you have finished with your original intentions. In the process of that awakening, you find many opportunities to understand and forgive the antics of the corrupted and amnesiatic souls who are working unconsciously as gears for the 4d matrix. Your gift to them and all of the worlds is to carry the memory for all who are lapsed in their comas. Your awakened identity becomes the mirror to everyone you contact. Your direct contact with the source of love makes you the agency through which God’s love flows to the darkened masses. It may be the most honored role ever conceived. Can you hold that privilege?

My first mind blowing encounter with ET was in 1994...
Until then I had only believed in their existence because the alternative (non existence) seemed even more unlikely...
But I have to admit that after it happened I was in a state of dread and fear. I had already been primed for some earth shattering event around the turn of the century, then only 6 years away, so I was in apocalyptic mode.
Then I found out that one of my closer Bahai friends who had just come to Costa Rica from Oregon, was also already believer, but was an abductee, and had a collection of tapes, mostly about Billy Meyer...and the Nordics, and after she showed me those my fears abated.

There were other events which helped me calm down...stories too long to tell, but apparently ET had communicated to one man who went on National TV that they were here to help and that the next day there could be a massive earth tremor and they would somehow use their technology to suck or drain excess energy out of the earth's crust.
And sure enough, there was a whole swarm of them...this was also on national TV, on a different channel, and not everyone had seen the other program, and made the connection.
But I was by then completely reassured that all would be well. I had seen the friendly kind. I must say fortunately the other kind never bothered me.
I had only read about them, and abductions and Linda Molten Howe's scary Earth Filles site. But no direct experience.

Around the year 2000 Neptune crossed the point opposite my Ascendant, and I had nearly nightly visions and hallucinations for a number of months...typical Neptune effect. People born with strong Neptune are often locked up as their relatives think they suffer from delusions...well those vision were very real, and I could even feel and see the presences that had come into my bedroom through the walls. Then I learnt about the fact that they respect an order and so I told them to stop visiting me at night time, but please ring my door bell at noon. They showed respect.

Had a call coming in, so there was no time to edit this, nor finish what I wanted to say.
The whole process of going through fear and relief, back and forth between the two, led to to a new discovery.
That whenever I was in a state of fear, the outer conditions of my life worsened, and when I had a sudden spike in consciousness the outer conditions of my life improved.
The discovery of such a relationship between the inner and outer was probably my biggest breakthrough of all, far greater than all the other awakenings I had experienced since 1977.

Since then I think more in terms of what I want to direct my creativity towards...and this took me to a full circle conversation with my maker...the question of 'what is the highest plan? Is it to do with earth being just a soul machine, which spits out the "chaff" to create a biosphere on the moon, (one of Gurdjieff's analogies) and the "wheat" which moves up to the power level of the suns, or is it even more than that?
Which would bring us to John Lash and the Gaia myth, ( which is only slightly different from the Bahai idea of "the earth is but one country, and mankind it's citizens"...)
that we are all cells of her body, and need to find our function within that body.

I am discovering how everything boils down to a personal decision to be in relationship with others (and all life for that matter) or not. It has become that simple to me now. I either chose to be in relationship with other quantum beings and non-quantum beings... or not.

I found I prefer to not be lonely more than I prefer to rule all material realms. I am glad I discovered this ultimate choice. I am glad I chose to be in relationship with all.

You don't have to be stuck in either one...life is rhythmic.

A bit like chess.

This stimulates me to ask - what do we do about those who prefer to have their "space?" Those who choose not to be in relation with others... others who appear to be fellow human beings?

See how I framed the question - it is meant to be "tricky" and so I will take my own bait and answer.

We "do" nothing... we allow them to have their space. Why would one not do that?

ahhhh, now I see what I missed in my question so I must rephrase the question.

What do we do about those who engage other human beings and by so doing, force upon those other human beings their own views which appear to be nothing more than barriers placed for the sole purpose of protecting their space?

See, I have discovered a third type of being here. One that not only isolates, but goes the next step to build walls so great and mighty, they are almost forcing the rest of us to "honor" their desire to have their own, protected space.

It is that type of person I am beginning to see is what we call "confused." On the one hand, they want to be left alone and on the other hand they impose themselves on others that they know the answers (and you don't) and they do this because they are desperately trying to avoid the truth within... the truth that they actually do not want to be alone, but are too afraid to admit the truth to themselves that they are afraid to be alone.

Who am I talking about here?

Myself

I see the game I have been playing with myself and I actually believe I have finally gotten sick of the game once and for all.

Today I choose to be in relationship with others in positive ways for all whom I come in contact.

I will report near the end of the day if I was reasonably successful.

Love to All and have a Great Day. Chester

@ Justoneman

Some relationships function best by interacting via a midpoint...orbiting around a common center of gravity, rather than targeting directly.
This would be less personal and less direct.
Or like putting a plate in front of someone instead of pushing a spoon into their mouths.
The latter would indicate that there is still a dependency...like a child that can't feed itself yet.

Here is the part I added to my earlier post about ET...

When reading my last post, one might notice that all efforts to control humanity, all contrivances, ultimately, originate from the edges of human perception and knowing. All effort to maintain control, is centered in that area, the very finely feathered edge-limit of all things human connected. Some understand this, some do not, so I'm mentioning it again, in a different context and way. To me, it is a very important thing to understand, and to use in one's long term and daily analysis of human flow. If not, one is left floundering, not knowing where, how, or when the waves are coming from and thus, never finding the 'way' to gain 'sea legs'. The metaphysical version of the thousand yard stare/look.

Whatever one gleans from it can then give one an idea of one's higher, or lower, self.
Depending on focus and direction.

Good morning! It's a beautiful day on the lake...water sparkling from the sun...crisp, clean chill in the air...trees wearing their best golds, oranges and reds...smells of autumn from fallen leaves. Love it.

Tomorrow they begin work on the causeway...which means adding 5 to 7 miles of additional travel to get around it. Ugh!

Busy, busy, busy lately. Have agreed to take on the work of someone taking time off to have her baby...didn't sound like much at first, but added to my already filled schedule, it's going to be a long 8 weeks. Today has a lot less on the agenda...a good break before running almost straight out for the next few days.

Finding time to travel the forum in between jobs...posting here and there as I'm able...jumping the 'rims of many bowls '(as Carmody speaks of) and peeking inside each one as I pass by. Interesting perspective. Looking outward from the rim? Working on it.

Thinking about justoneman's post on those who build walls around themselves, yet leave a hidden door to poke their head out and impose their 'truth' on others before ducking back in. Hmmmm....

I'm sure you can manage all that...if and when it becomes too much you will have to redefine your priority list...
remember there are always solutions, always...
and often they are closer at hand than expected.

Yes, fun synchronicities. Mermaids are famous for having no feet. This one lost her head in 1964. I wouldn't read much into it.

Except that the story was about the Rothko defaced at Tate Modern, whose director said “We are interested in looking to the future. The person who did this is a person of the past.”

Amen to that.

I have back-ups to back-ups to back-ups! Been in the business a long time and early on learned the value of keeping a list of qualified musicians willing to fill in for me when necessary. Hasn't failed me yet. When it gets too much, I have people I can count on to take my place...no one is irreplaceable, yet each one brings their own unique self to the table...thus the need to really know what each is capable of in order to be assured the particular job will be done well...reputations are built on such knowing.

I like the freedom to pick and choose what jobs I take or pass on. Loving going back to studio work, even if it is only until Martha comes back...not a commitment I desire to make for myself, but fun on a temporary basis.


Edit: Can't even see the pic from the link! What's up with that...

This now gets into "the art" of positive relationship. Since I have taken my first baby step in deciding I am interested in only being involved in positive relationship, I will start opening my mind more to the art thereof. Thanks for the feedback, Chester

Amen to that.

This is getting weirder by the minute. I just now came from reading about the Rothko defacement.
Not finished yet.
The reason I even read this article was because to do with my own past, indirectly.
My former husband remarried to a Canadian, and divorced her two years later...she got nearly all the money that I had been entitled to, but was too stupid to fight for.
hence I carried some resentment there.
Anyway, she then remarried a Canadian newspaper baron....Lord Thomson...only to be served the next set of divorce papers one year later, the day she was giving birth to their son.
This made huge headlines in Canada, which I followed with a somewhat morbid interest.
The divorce case became rather ugly and one of the details that emerged was that during one of their fights she had threatened to slash one of his Rothkos with a knife....

So where is this going?
I've let go of that past a while ago, but brought it back up to highlight how we all seem to be able to access each others data banks.

When reading my last post, one might notice that all efforts to control humanity, all contrivances, ultimately, originate from the edges of human perception and knowing. All effort to maintain control, is centered in that area, the very finely feathered edge-limit of all things human connected. Some understand this, some do not, so I'm mentioning it again, in a different context and way. To me, it is a very important thing to understand, and to use in one's long term and daily analysis of human flow. If not, one is left floundering, not knowing where, how, or when the waves are coming from and thus, never finding the 'way' to gain 'sea legs'. The metaphysical version of the thousand yard stare/look.

When Carmody passes me a ball I like to run with it.
Yesterday it was "bowls", today it is "sea legs".

This cartoon may look like a heavily loaded message, but if perceived with the right attitude may lead the viewer to some decent insights.
Whatever one gleans from it can then give one an idea of one's higher, or lower, self.
Depending on focus and direction.



Just come from viewing some vandalized artworks, including Copenhagen's Little Mermaid...


Very cool, araucaria...I love it when that happens, don't you?

Now what about the 'vandalized' aspect....
do you see a connection here with the fact that I took a copyrighted cartoon and posted it regardless?
Did I do wrong here?

Yes, fun synchronicities. Mermaids are famous for having no feet. This one lost her head in 1964. I wouldn't read much into it.

Sorry to have inadvertently accessed you private data bank Ulli. Weren't we saying not long ago that there were places where telepathy doesn't go? Still learning I suppose.

Art and money value are an ever-present oxymoron that I have trouble accepting, but maybe it was a good thing here. I guess the Rothko was a potential target as something he loved, but the slasher relented when she realized how much it would be worth, not wanting to shoot herself in the foot.


Where is this going? Nowhere in particular - only as you wish :)

Stirring up the past. For me it is often a matter of opening a book. I've just caught a nasty cold almost instantly doing exactly that - I'm allergic to the microscopic fungi in paper more than 5-10 years old. I now have two problems: I'm not feeling too good, and I've got another book I can't read. This is an unavoidable everyday situation. Any suggestions anyone? :)

No harm done...I don't feel threatened by it as I don't sense any hostile intent in you.
My ever-present paranoia alarm bell only rings when the invader's energy is devoid of all courtesy
as well as understanding of the game "rules".

And if Modwiz is reading this...Modwiz, please rest assured that Im not including you in the above invader category, as I don't see the quibbling about semantics as an outright rejection of rules.
I believe your motive was to figure out the language "points of agreement" so as to include a wider circle of readers, including those who object to oppressors imposing dogma...which is even stricter than rules.
Which is how I see araucaria operating as well.
Finding common ground via language.

About the art and money comment...many artists depend on bankers as their clients...
So I quit painting long ago.

No, not only as I wish...it would make me happy to address your wishes, too.
We could address the oxymoron you mentioned above.

We could perhaps have Modwiz join in there...he is an artist who switched careers in order to become a healer. Same as I did.

Because any artist who finds himself in a world where the only market which offers him a secure life line is that of the very oppressor who traps his work behind his four walls, gradually corrupting him...such an artist must eventually want to drop out of such a game.

A world in a middle of a storm of a major system breakdown needs its artists to become the captains on those rough seas.

One of the surprises I got while reading the Wingmakers interviews with Dr. Neruda was where he says the commander of an interstellar cruiser was an artist, as he represented the right balance of emotional intelligence.
Will try and google the exact quote.

[ulli]

Haven't found he quote yet. But while searching for it I came across this gem...got distracted, I admit.
Felt compelled to share, as it relates directly to my own way of seeing the dilemma the world is in, and what causes the divisions in people thoughts, being given only a small spectrum of alternatives.
We have to find new ways.....


“The Military Force is working on hybrid defensive and offensive weapons that relate to space, bio-weapons, the Internet, and other environments that are as yet not viewed as battlefield arenas. They would contend that R & D budgets should be increased in order to develop these new weapons in order to secure the rights of free people to live without fear of preemptive attack. They intend to remove this reality from the face of the earth and at the same time, propagate democracy.”

Sarah: “But isn’t this a noble goal?”

Dr. Neruda: “Their goals are not necessarily misguided, but their methods to achieve these goals are. This is all about projecting power, and, as a consequence, dictating the prevailing political platform by which the world achieves peace. It is enforced peace. It is peace through power and manipulation.”

Sarah: “But it’s still peace and it’s still democracy. It’s certainly better than the alternative of wars and anarchy or dictatorship.”

Dr. Neruda: “There are other means to achieve the same end.”

Here and now I am contemplatin the dream (fragment) I had right before awakening this morning.

I was hanging out with my only openly "aware" friend (likes to talk about paranormal stuff) who I had enlisted awhile ago in my quest to identify the paranormal stuff surrounding my girlfriend. He had one UFO sighting his whole life, me-none that I can recall.

Anyway the piece of the dream was me and him talking on road out in the open somewhere, when all of a sudden I had some profound realization--I swore I had some answer I was looking for about something important...then straight ahead I saw a white oval in the sky, it morphed into some sort of solider shape, back into light oval (well defined, like cut from piece of paper, shape of disc from the side).

Well, that had been my line of thinking lately, supernatural crap (we been dealing with ill tempered spirits of some sort in the home), just a distraction from the real problem: unhealed traumas.

In line with the "space" versus communal animal train of thought, how much can you really help someone else out? When do you a draw a line when the reality that is created as a result of their not working on healing themselves becomes a lost cause? I know the stock answer is answer is "the answer lies within, listen to yourself..." and all that, but I have taken on other peoples' responsibilities on, contracts I (at least semi-) consciously agreed to.

I just worry about those with the extra programming, the trauma beyond what I can relate to, I guess I worry I wrote a check I can't cash...or worse, entered into agreement that will wind up piling problems on top of me.

I feel like I know myself, and can just figure out how to show people that, as scary a prospect finding your true self out may be, it is so worth it not just for you, but everyone else as well. Can anyone pinpoint anything someone else did to help you on your path to self-discovery?

¤=[Post Update]=¤

I feel like no matter what, whenever I really get going on a path I feel is important, I am intentionally, externally distracted.

You think that is an illusion...or even projection?

Focus and distraction are opposite sides of the same coin.
When playing around with mental concepts one can easily be distracted, going around in circles,
So it is better to talk about real life scenarios and can learn applications that would be helpful in such.
That way the chances of distraction entering are reduced.
However if one were to find oneself in a life and death emergency a new intensity and focus kicks in.
It only depends if one's own child is being threatened by a potential predator,
or someone's house is being washed away by a landslide on the other side of the globe.
It's all a matter of proximity...how close to home, as they say.

A lot of people have told me privately that they feel uncomfortable sharing about their lives.
So I just want to stress again that no one has to reveal anything if they don't wish to.
At least not something that makes them easily identifiable.
Nor will anyone be judged for not washing their dirty linen in public. This is just not how it works.
Each personal life style is unique.

Personally I'm totally against confession, whether to a priest, a shrink, or a TV show.
The moment one's misdeeds are put out there they can stay in other's minds as thought forms, and become memories,
long after a person has made their transformation.
There is nothing positive in giving more of one's energy to something that would have been better left to disintegrate.

The healthy part of the exercise of sharing one's here and now
(especially the mundane, apparently unimportant parts) is in what happens when you define that fine line
where your public outer image begins and your private self ends.
This is nobody's business to know, but as far as self knowledge exercises go it cannot be overestimated.

Not weird ulli at all, i have stopped posting the things that have been going on with me of late,
as they have been way way weird, even by my standards.

Then i take a look at what the rest of my soul group is working on atm,
and it makes more sense. But when you just look at yourself in isolation it
can seem like you are "losing the plot". I guess we are more and more being
asked to view ourselves via the collective mind. Without the big picture, you
just have a big box full of pieces and no reference point, it's doable,
but the going is like uphill.

Now I look at the tv, and wonder how I ever was able to be so invested (emotionally!!) in this nonsense. The outcomes of my favorite teams' game determined my mood (& daily conversations), I spent all my free time looking for information and watching replays...ugh, it's amazing--can barely hold my attention at its most exciting anymore.

...well, gives me excuse to crack out on shiny screens, maybe learn something.

Heh, distractions (football game) from other peoples' distractions (even dumber tv programming my babe wants to watch, while sneaking in my favorite distraction on my phone (Internet)...sucked into reality avoiding fractal of bull**** on shiny screens...yay America!

Yeah, it does look like an uphill battle at times. Especially after what we went through recently. I see these twin processes going on side by side...strengthening our group here, and gathering around the big vision, the collective goals.
And these goals to me are obvious, they don't have anything to do any longer with sitting silently in meditation, but involve ourselves with matters that concern us all, the bigger picture, with a priority list such as abolishing poverty, educating people and making them aware of the lies they have been told, and of course stopping the rape of the planet as well as the arms race and war fare.

And if we can't do this out there in the front lines of the 3D world, then we can do it in writing, like right here on this forum, inspiring the younger ones who are still strong, and even use Shamanism to get things sorted out.

On the other hand, any injection of thoughts that want to stop me from thinking about such matters and repeatedly talk about shutting down the mind I see these as distractions, as interference, and possibly even as deliberate attempts to help the other side.
We must define who we are and what we each stand for.

Some banter and joking is still ok, as is eating, resting and sleeping. But as I have said before- to maintain a healthy balanced life and stay in top condition one needs to have the triple activity of a) work, b) play and c) rest in any given daily cycle.
And that work should perhaps be a bit more than just earning a livelihood with which to finance the next weekend shopping spree.
If the universe hears the slightest yearning to be of a higher service it comes rushing to our aid.
Thanks for triggering all these thoughts, Astrid.

The destruction of the planet is a side issue, imo.

There are those who have kept the true history of our planet...some call them tptb, some call them controllers. Doesn't matter what we call them...there is a war on, in case no one has noticed.

There will be earth changes due to the cycle we're in...happens every 26,000 years. The only question is how bad is it going to be...it could be devastating or could be a blip...we just don't know. The sun is changing...the planet is changing...we are changing....evolution is happening right before our eyes.

Those who have been attempting control have known about this for ages. imo, they are taking advantage of these changes to create a global society with a lot less of us 'goyim'/'useless eaters'/'sheeple'. We have grown in numbers large enough that loss of control is a very real possibility for them...they have seen the need to pare the population down to those who are most easily controlled for their own benefit.

So the question before them was, 'how do we eliminate billions of people, save ourselves from the coming earth changes, and come out the other side with only the number of amenable slaves for our needs...and do this without bringing attention to ourselves?' The answer is, of course, 'we can poison the water they drink, the food they eat, the very air they breathe...we can sterilize them through vaccines...we can lower the oxygen levels by destroying large swaths of forest...we can set up nuclear power plants on fault lines, and weaken those lines through fracking and by burying highly combustible materials...etc." Of course, those things may descimate the population and destroy the planet, but the planet is going to be changed anyway, so why worry about it.

The survival of billions of people is at stake. Either we work together to expose them and their plans or we will all suffer the consequences in one way or another.

And yet, we are divided... and weakened by such division...some of it through their manipulation, but some of it because of our own egos and pride.

I believe I'm here to bridge the gaps between people...to bring reconciliation where there is disagreement and division...in my own small way. Sometimes through example as to how that can be done...each situation calling for its own method.

There is no one coming to save us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. How many times have we either heard those statements or made them ourselves? And yet, we allow the smallest of things come between us.

The situation we face is much too large to allow petty bickering and disagreements to side-track what needs to be done here. Our very lives are at stake. United we can make a difference...divided, well, you know the rest.

Am I doing enough? It never feels like it, but all I can do is keep trying.

Yay! Did it!

The last part of the post was written to speak to that thread topic specificallly...there is so much more we can do imo.

Thanks for the suggestion to repost it here, Ulli.

Re:
Sun's motion:
The "picture" gets even more complicated when considering this solar system as a binary system:

The above would explain why the sun keeps bopping above and below the galactic ecliptic with a slanted binary orbit with respect to that galactic plane; only the barycenter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter) of that binary system follows along the galactic plane.


Along with that binary hypothesis comes the origin for these legendary asteroids/meteorites pummeling of this solar system:

However, from the recorded periodicities of these meteorite/asteroid downpours, it is suspected that this solar system may in fact be part of a ternary system due to two distinct periodic occurrences... headache anyone?


Ooops... forgot... hello all!

Have fun......

Apple iPads still no can do applets...sigh....

But very happy with Amzer Zo's contribution of that binary system....this must be the one the Dogon tribe of Africa know about.

I've been getting this idea that as the celestial event comes nearer those in tune will visit friends in the country, and then it's only a matter of being indoors for a few days and life will go on. Much improved I've been told.

But gardening now is definitely the way to go...and making friends with country folk if you live in a big city.

Alka Thyme or Glyco Thymoline. It will fix you right up, gargle with it, or put some on a clean washcloth and inhale it while perusing your most ancient of tomes.


Stirring up the past. For me it is often a matter of opening a book. I've just caught a nasty cold almost instantly doing exactly that - I'm allergic to the microscopic fungi in paper more than 5-10 years old. I now have two problems: I'm not feeling too good, and I've got another book I can't read. This is an unavoidable everyday situation. Any suggestions anyone? :)

Many thanks, but Caycean glyco thingy is unobtainable locally here. The chemist's eyes glazed over like mine are already.

A propos, Ulli, you wouldn't care to provide a full word picture of your applet for a blind man? It'd make interesting reading :)

No, I thought you wouldn't.

The drier streets of the village feel good to this one. The Watery ways of the recent past had made for muddy going, IMO. Earth and Air. :thumb:

I don't know about anyone else, but I get off on watching stuff like this...
really strong sensations.
I know I'm weird.

That's one of the coolest things I'v ever seen. I've never visualized that geometrical figure in multi-dimensional in movement. Beautiful. It makes me think of Nassim Haramein. This concept made a huge difference for me. Whoosh Whoosh.



Funny, it reminded me of the spirograph I played with for hours as a kid. Love it!

I got very tingly from that display. Awesome. Hello Village : ) Love your new Avatar Ulli.

Peace.Love.One.

This one's heart has been gladdened.
And if anyone here is missing water or dampness they can always go and drink from the trough that Carmody so generously donated.
The first applet on the list, it is called Ripple Tank...
just dive right in. Lots of options. (and it does have an iPad version)
Wow...one can even splash about, if one wants, by wiggling the mouse....

(Still thinking of that wicked, evil grin on Carmody's face when he dropped this in our mailbox.....)
Now back to my applet jacuzzi....

Hello. Just want to say thanks for enriching my life and the lives of others.

While I'm not comfortable sharing a whole lot about myself on Avalon for various reasons, I appreciate all of you very much. :grouphug:

(For me, the Energetic Synthesis container feels like a safer and more resonant place to open up.)

Here and now I'm eating lunch at work, where I've asked to reduce my hours. Need more time to focus on spiritual activities.

Lots of changes happening!

Love to all of you,

Heather

A lot of people have told me privately that they feel uncomfortable sharing about their lives.
So I just want to stress again that no one has to reveal anything if they don't wish to.
At least not something that makes them easily identifiable.
Nor will anyone be judged for not washing their dirty linen in public. This is just not how it works.
Each personal life style is unique.

Personally I'm totally against confession, whether to a priest, a shrink, or a TV show.
The moment one's misdeeds are put out there they can stay in other's minds as thought forms, and become memories,
long after a person has made their transformation.
There is nothing positive in giving more of one's energy to something that would have been better left to disintegrate.

The healthy part of the exercise of sharing one's here and now
(especially the mundane, apparently unimportant parts) is in what happens when you define that fine line
where your public outer image begins and your private self ends.
This is nobody's business to know, but as far as self knowledge exercises go it cannot be overestimated.

And then there's clowns like me that are capable of exposing everything... "the art of exposing" is my next pursuit.

I am not for or against "confession." For some folks, baring their soul is helpful, for others (who certainly have the right to keep secrets) it may not be. I found what works for me is being brutally honest, especially when I see the jerk I was (and surely once again will be) in the rear view mirror.

What I discovered about me is that I am allergic to lying (especially to myself). But because I have always been a professional liar since I was about 6 years old, I have found the habit hard to break.

Anyways - please, do not read my comment to suggest or imply anyone else should do what I have found works best for me. I am just pointing out my method - maybe this method may only work for me. Uh oh... maybe my method (if fully employed) might be "anti-relationship." I just received my second homework assignment for the day from "Spirit!" The first has been to study the Law of One series... I may have to stay outa the village for a few days - plate just got loaded up.

Love to ALL and have a Great Day (and Great Afternoon and Evening to all my friends in the Center) and a Great Night and Early Morning to all my Friends in the East)!

and thanks to our friend, Anchor - here's something cool about cats...

This is at your own risk.
the Village mayor will accept no responsibility for anyone ascending and leaving the planet forever.
This is at your own risk...
there, I had to say it twice.

In this Ripple Tank you will find infinite variations and possibilities.
Just playing with it for less than to minutes and I'm tripping out of my skull.

So what is this...the ultimate distraction?
Or is it one of those handheld gadgets that can easily decorate cakes as well as destroy entire galaxies?

Let him who has eyes to see, see.

Let me have a go then.

The figure is a combination of a fixed part and a moving part.

The fixed part: comprises two concentric circle, a small red one inside a larger blue one where the blue circle’s radius is equal to the red circle’s diameter. The vertical and horizontal diameters of the blue circle are drawn in blue. Concentric to this arrangement are four congruent, regular red ellipses whose short diameter is equal to that of the small red circle, and whose long diameter is equal to the sum of the diameters of the red and blue circles. The four ellipses are placed in a regular pattern, one horizontal, one vertical, the other two along the 45° diagonals.

The moving part: comprises a blue circle congruent with the small fixed red circle, with two perpendicular black diameters drawn so as to extend out a further radius in distance and form a St Andrew’s cross. The four tips of the cross are marked with tiny circles, as is the cross’s central point of intersection, and the two points where one of the arms bisects the red circle are marked with larger circles possibly double in size.

Movement: The small blue circle moves in a circular motion in an anticlockwise direction tangent to the large blue circle and tangent to the centre of the figure. Meanwhile the black cross rotates in a clockwise direction such that a) the path of the centre of the cross orbits along the line of the small red circle; and hence b) passes through the points where the small circle intersects the four ellipses; and hence c) passes through the points where the both small circle and the four ellipses intersect the blue cross; d) the four tips of the cross orbit along the elliptical trajectories drawn by the four ellipses; and e) the two larger circles at the points ¼ and ¾ along the length of one of the arms of the black cross slide respectively up and down and from side to side along the lines of the blue cross.

Hence, by mounting two blue inkjets and five red ones onto the moving part at the circles, the moving part would redraw the entire fixed part once per rotation.

I may have missed something, but that is ample to make anyone feel weird :)

I loved my spirograh, as a kid. (age 5-6)

I was unhappy that it did not work in 3d, and had limited patterns. This pattern was a standard spirograph pattern.

Hi Smoda!!! I get to post after him if I'm quick enough...lol. hi villagers and ty for saying thanks on my recent thread ulli, glad you seen it.

I was still an active Bahai when I saw my first UFO. Then some friends showed me some videos
and they were friends of Dr. Greer who is also a Bahai...he actually worked at the Bahai World Center in Haifa Israel for six years.
So he was really my main intro to the whole cover-up scene,
long before I knew of the Wingmakers website which even though it was written in the form of myth
is still a great way of introducing people to the subject of Disclosure...
and then later I found David Wilcock who then led me to Bill and Kerry.
But already in the seventies my astrology teacher used to talk about these things but back then i was raising a kid and really didn't want to go deeper into it...
astrology was already enough of a plate full.

[ulli]

This came in from ForbiddenKnowledgeTV today, and is really fantastic.
Maybe needs some more investigating but certainly deserves to be given some more attention.

The picture of the girl by the well in a forest...so archetypal.
We had a deep ancient well in our garden on the farm, and tall fur trees around it, and when I was little I used to see my reflection deep down at the bottom of that well, if someone had forgotten to slide the huge cement lid back over it.
Then my mum would be all panicky that I might fall in one day.

I just had to mention good old Satan in a Business Suit...and up jumps a blast from the past via a thread on the Koch brothers....


AriG...my second ex-husband worked for Koch Industries when they had an oil and gas recovery company in Westboro, MA. My ex-husbands job had something to do with what today is called fracking. I have not only met David Koch, but had dinner with him, the accessory he wore on his arm, and my ex-husband.

The Koch brothers are out for the Koch brothers and promoting their own interests. Knowing what I know, they are only a part of the overall plan...one of many...and will use any means at their disposal to get what they want. Falling into line with the true ptb is the only way they can achieve their own ends...give a little, take a little.

Not saying they don't have their hands deep into the plan you mention....only trying to clarify that they are far from the top and only one of the many minions used.

fwiw.


Running out the door....my daughter just called....a friend of hers just committed suicide after not being able to cope with her 2 year old daughters death last January. My daughter was the last one to speak with Marsha and is now blaming herself for not stopping her....

I am sitting here at my desk on a rainy almost-autumn evening in New York.

I was thinking about how I am now in this place of transfiguration. I was feeling sad and that somehow I'd forgotten something. Then all of a sudden I realized it was John's Birthday today.

It is 7:54 here now.

Happy Birthday John.

Thank you so much for all of your warrior courage...you ability to speak out and to push past the matrix, encouraging us to do the same...if we could only hear your words.

But, alas THEY got you too honey.

All was not lost. We are here now.

Thank you again...from my grateful human heart.

When John died I had not yet gotten over my fathers death, which was the month before.
I was devastated. I had been introduced to both John and Yoko when I was working as a projectionist and showed her movie;
they both came for the premiere...John so proud of his little wifie....

and now...back to happy hour...

We played this song at out gig last Wed. 10/3.
I don't think we were playing here:
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/attachment.php?attachmentid=18486&d=1349361956&thumb=1

I think we were playing "Higher and Higher" by Jackie Wilson.

We might have been playing it here:

My right hand position and the fact that I knew the song, (I am looking at music) makes it seem "Instant Karma" was not being played when this picture was taken.

We really did play the song though.

Love the pics, mod.

Nice bass...and Great legs! :whistle:

And love the blue scarf...definitely the wiz's artistic touch...suits you. Of course, I'm not jealous much just because most of my work requires the old blacks and whites...no, not me...ARRGG!!!

Wish I could have been there and joined in the fun. "And we all shine on...."

My theory how this happens, (and it does)
To get the job in the first place you have to schmooze the woman in human resources, and she might want to see your full face. Once the job has been nailed the company works you such long hours that there isn't even time left for shaving.
Other theories welcomed....

[araucaria]

Could well be.

A beard has to be hiding something, eg a weak chin (it doesn't). Maybe the weak-chinned get filtered out as well at this stage.

With Jewish rabbis and zionist trouble-makers it's the other way round. If you want to get what you see, go for the bearded one.

[Carmody]

I'm feeling pretty low today. I was thinking a bit about a girl who went through some difficult stuff...which led to me thinking about this one student...which reminded me of this girl...which led to this boy who was my student...

sigh

Love you all,

The body still cries for life,as it cannot go with you. It is it's job to be a good vehicle, to be immersed in emotions that run the depths of the waters that is the communication and lifeline to this 3d place.

I remember what it is to be 'not here', to be released from the body's issues and connections. That..is a feeling of weights(yes plural) leaving..that is unlike any other. Indescribable. the body shapes/colors/filters the thoughts, it does not just carry the being inside. Thus, looking through this door we call 'life' is different. Different than the other space. One reason we come here, is to learn fast, to learn quickly, to change quickly, by existing across this quanta we call 'time'. This vehicle we call life is both gift and curse, the duality of it's existence -- neither wholly immersed in perfection, neither wholly immersed in fault.

When I dream of my given future day, before it happens, I can and do dream of things that I have no control of, seemingly no direct influence on.

For example, to be in a car, someone else driving, coming to a section of highway where the two sided flow is over 14 lanes wide..and to have dreampt of the near accident..the night before.

What this means, is that things are very calculable, almost pre-ordained, in time. Not quite, though. We are offered choice, even in those moments. One might say that a certain amount of choice has been removed from me, for I have possibly reached a certain level of clarity. A clarity that is not exclusive, by any means. Others can get there. Others have different specialties and different gifts. It has to do with the avatar and life they've chosen. What their vibration is when they came in, thus the choice of life, body, and flow.

Since the time thing is organized into a near continual now, regarding the other side of this life or being, where presence or self is more potent, more 'powerful' than what we call 'matter, space and time' here, in this space...in that other space, one might say that... we are possibly stuck in a much lower speed and level of evolution, due to this extreme connectivity to everything. Knowing more, moving more toward knowing all, being born in a realm where connectivity is wide and deep...means that almost nothing happens, development wise. Think about it.

We are hear to stress, change, and evolve ourselves. to be in a space that is 'really real', and not know our given futures, like I'm experiencing in this minor way. That we have to learn to fend for ourselves, that we have to fight off predators, that we have to learn to recognize dangers and parasites, and so on. Learn to love, learn to care, learn to gather together, and so on. Choice. Remember the old trick of the overflowing cup. You cannot fill a cup that is already full.

It has to seem, feel and BE real. And so it is. One could also say that we are here to evolve the avatars, so that they can handle more of our full presence, that we are growing our own future vehicles, something that really works for us. Many things could be said, some nice, some paranoid, and so on. Note that no matter one's given state of knowing or understanding, that complex and difficult questions always exist.

Happy Birthday, John.

Our evolution with its ( hopefully) increased awareness will lift us above the law of accident.
When one compares the charts of astrological twins, people who are not related but born on the same day,
it becomes evident that the level of consciousness has a direct influence on the severity of the shocks experienced.
The person who is still fast asleep will have a crash, as if nothing less will wake them up, while the person who is already awake will have a clash of opinions with someone, to help them redefine their inner identity.

Gurdjieff often spoke about being above the law of accident...it can be googled.
If enough people wake up one can then even redirect incoming asteroids, using the collective mind.
One just needs to have the information of such a threat beforehand.

Which is why I always say keeping up to date with global events is vital.
Avalon does a pretty good job as a newspaper, I find.

I hope the landlord doesn't find me because I skipped out on my rent though I did leave him with all my worldly possessions owned at that time (other than 2 suitcases and a few hundred dollars).

Hey Rad good weapon of choice, The Late 70's and 80's Ibanez (Japan) had incredible works of craftsmanship. They started giving American Companies a run for there money. My 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II has tremendously low action and sound quality. I purchased it on ebay 8 years ago for 100 bucks. One of my favorite instruments. The intonation never goes out. Can you relate?

In fact let me give you a little tour here...(thanks for the nudge, Calz....)
We have a barn here...and though it was hidden behind some tall trees it got plundered last week.
Due to the graces of the invisible hand it has been refilled now, and all is as it should be.

Avalon does a pretty good job as a newspaper, I find.

A while back I drove around for several weeks in expectation of a possibly serious accident. When it happened, it was a neat little thing, no one hurt, just 50 yards short of my destination, minimum inconvenience, and in the last week for my car insurance to replace my 2-year-old vehicle with a new one. Still a crash, I suppose, but not that much more than a clash.

Tweaking asteroids (you've mentioned this before Ulli I know) sounds like an excellent place to start doing this on a collective level. Not really start, we've been doing it unconsciously for a while now I think, but maybe it could be a first time done consciously and demonstrably so. Wow!

Evan Bartholomew - Where Forgotten Days Slumber (Secret Entries Into Darkness)

The picture of the girl by the well in a forest...so archetypal.
We had a deep ancient well in our garden on the farm, and tall fur trees around it, and when I was little I used to see my reflection deep down at the bottom of that well, if someone had forgotten to slide the huge cement lid back over it.
Then my mum would be all panicky that I might fall in one day.

Healing drums ......thanks

The archetypal picture of the girl by the well, risking life and limb by engaging in some in-depth introspection. Bring the reflection up out of the dark into the light and it turns out to be life-giving water.
The archetypal picture of Ulli, engaging in some more in-depth introspection by reflecting on memories of being that girl by the well and seeing that reflection. A perfect mise en abyme of the process going on here. It is so much more profound than the silly legend of Narcissus pining to death at his own superficiality.

[donk]

Right now I conviced my girl to listen to Eva Longren interview!!! She texts "watched 25mins, OMG, too close to home". Huuuuge (baby) step...sooooo excited!

Now if only I could learn to bend and fold space-time (Steve Richards style), and hologric kinetically remove the spirits haunting her, and perhaps even move the lei line or whatever is supporting the portal in my yard....crazier stuff has happened in my life, lord knows!

Much love to the village, please don't mind my self-abasorption lately...I'll go back and see what y'all are up to, I been so focused on my own **** lately but is nice to have outlet for my (all-over-the-place) thoughts.

Send some grounding and peace my way if you get a sec...;)

[ulli]

I was on the Cassiopeaean site as well as forums for about a year, back in 2000, before coming to my own conclusions.
They demand a time investment that given the urgency of our time can become a major distraction.
What I found really strange was Ulrich (Ulli) Eckhart Tolle was born less than 50 miles southwest of my childhood farm,
Laura Knight's husband Arcadiucz was teaching physics at the University of Bielefeld,
which is the same distance southeast from there,
and which made me feel that my ideology fitted right in the center between the two.
The other observation has to do with the fact that I trust Jay Weidner more.

[Calz]

Jay Weidner is another one of my favorites ... but it doesn't take away from looking into what has been passed along the way from the exhaustive research.

They had a "falling out" about an issue (as is common among us humans).

I have his "Mysteries of the Great Cross of Hendaye" book as well as several of his DVDs. Despite their spat they actually come close to the same conclusions (sh!t about to hit the fan and alchemy is the way to set yourself free etc).

Bill Ryan condemns her as well (although I don't know if it stems beyond Jay's assessment).

Look at the facts. Look at what is presented. Come up with a better explanation for the cyclical "events" that the planet experiences.

Is it a natural birth/growth/aging/death cycle that exists in the Universe???

To be fair to the majority who have not read (or will not even take the time to read the article) there is no suggestion as to the "END" of the world ... merely a cycle of cleansing.

Look around you with open eyes and what do you see happening now on the planet???

Look at what the "leaders" (elected puppets representing those that allegedly have been at the helm for thousands of years) are doing.

Does this make sense to anyone???

Not a "preacher" am I ... no great psychic enlightenment ... no spiritual blessings to bestow the "truth".


Simply offering (after being prompted by asteroid comments) what I have come across over the last decade.

That's all ... take it for what it's worth (or not).

[araucaria]

This is no joke. There is material out there that is not as way-out as a lot of other stuff, to suggest that bombardment of some kind may be on the cards.

At sott.net, they say Sitchin's planet cannot come into the inner solar system, but since comets can (and comets are basically asteroids), a comet strike may be how the Nibiru scenario actually plays out. And come to think of it, Nibiru itself might well have planetary and other stuff orbiting it in any case.

Secondly, Bill Ryan endorses Bob Dean's view of a planet-X type object appearing in about 5 years time. I personally have no opinion, but it si an eventuality to be factored in.

I can't think of a better situation where such a tiny cause could ultimately have such tremendous global effects as an well-aimed asteroid missing. The tiny cause would be, as early as possible, to divert the asteroid's trajectory by an infinitesimal amount, changing its direction of travel ever so slightly to begin with but missing by thousands of miles when it arrived.

How heavy is an asteroid in outer space? It's weightless! And how heavy is that car that a mother is capable single-handedly of lifting off her child?

In other words, this target, should it ever come to that (again, hopefully not), ought to be achievable, both because the task is not as difficult as we would like to think, and because we are all capable of much more than we like to think.

Edit: written without having seen Calz's above post.

Calz, I'm hearing you, seriously. It's all there in our face.
All my life I've been made aware, through dreams and later reading.
But my search through all these prophecies never stopped, as I was not only an arch survivor,
but want as many people as possible to have a certainty that their grandchildren have a good future,
free from unimaginable trauma.

So one day I noticed that people with raised consciousness can perform miracles.
I have seen them.
If we can bust hurricane clouds in a matter of two hours then we can change the orbit of an incoming meteor or even asteroid with a tiny mental pellet.
It's only a matter of unified effort. This is the only hard part, to get people to agree on this.

Those who have not yet developed independent individuality and therefore the power that comes with such independence are either trapped by the idea that money and connection will get them into an underground survival bunker, or they spend their time pursuing philosophies that take them away from the 3D plane altogether.

What we are doing here is unique. Villagers are loners, and as such they have sovereignty.
Combining these energies will not happen by any form of herding, but purely by presenting one's viewpoint by manner of reason, and then leaving the choice and judgement up to the others.
Each one must then figure out where they stand. No cajoling, no manipulation.

This process will take time, as not everyone sees this as the basis.

[Calz]

Calz, I'm hearing you, seriously. It's all there in our face.



... and no paradox ... I actually agree with you completely.

So where does this lead???

Time lines ... split realities ... dare anyone suggest ascension or a new earth for fear of being smashed here on the forum???

I dunno ...


I suggest ***only*** there is physical evidence of periodic bombardment on the earth (anyone look at the moon lately?).


Draw you own conclusions.

I am not here to offer any more than my own ***opinion*** based on what my own ***perception*** has been over the course of what I have experienced in my own lifetime.

I always remain open minded (how else can one be without shutting out what the "truth" may, in fact, be???).

Look at the facts. Look at what is presented. Come up with a better explanation for the cyclical "events" that the planet experiences.

Is it a natural birth/growth/aging/death cycle that exists in the Universe???

To be fair to the majority who have not read (or will not even take the time to read the article) there is no suggestion as to the "END" of the world ... merely a cycle of cleansing.

Look around you with open eyes and what do you see happening now on the planet???

Look at what the "leaders" (elected puppets representing those that allegedly have been at the helm for thousands of years) are doing.

Does this make sense to anyone???

Not a "preacher" am I ... no great psychic enlightenment ... no spiritual blessings to bestow the "truth".


Simply offering (after being prompted by asteroid comments) what I have come across over the last decade.

That's all ... take it for what it's worth (or not).

Nothing more.

Yes Calz, my friend. But in this big cleansing, we are looking for a mechanism whereby the baby does not get thrown out with the bathwater. And we are the baby. And the 'leaders' as you say are doing the throwing. We have enough knowledge of how things work to know that celestial events are dictated by earthly behaviour.

Here is a mechanissm as I see it. The leaders see the approaching whatever, scuttle off to their underground bases. The rest of us deal first with the threat overhead, and then leave the leaders out of harm's way in the prison of their own making.

We are looking for solutions. That's mine for today :)

[araucaria]

I was on the Cassiopeaean site as well as forums for about a year, back in 2000, before coming to my own conclusions.
They demand a time investment that given the urgency of our time can become a major distraction.
What I found really strange was Ulrich (Ulli) Eckhart Tolle was born less than 50 miles southwest of my childhood farm,
Laura Knight's husband Arcadiucz was teaching physics at the University of Bielefeld,
which is the same distance southeast from there,
and which made me feel that my ideology fitted right in the center between the two.
The other observation has to do with the fact that I trust Jay Weidner more.

Ulli, there are two more locations you need to research: northeast and northwest of your farm. Who was doing what there I wonder...

... and I agree with you as well ...

Funny that ... several months ago I resolved to stop posting on "serious" or "news" issues and simply focus and fun and frolic to do what I could to keep the energy light and playful.


Comets/asteroids posts moved me to do otherwise.


Again ... I have nothing to offer other than my opinion based on what makes sense to me on a personal level. I have no "insider" connections ... no psychic insights ... no "downloads from god" ... no "downloads from grey/milab abductions".


If I need to I will be happy to post an article showing that many thousands of asteroids hit the eastern usa seaboard (suggesting a big one breaking up as has been photographed with Jupiter etc).

Hey Rad good weapon of choice, The Late 70's and 80's Ibanez (Japan) had incredible works of craftsmanship. They started giving American Companies a run for there money. My 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II has tremendously low action and sound quality. I purchased it on ebay 8 years ago for 100 bucks. One of my favorite instruments. The intonation never goes out. Can you relate?

My Ibanez is new. The picture is her virgin performance. She performed like a professional and cooed so sweetly my avatar almost swooped down and ate her. :p My Fender Bronco amp also had a first roll.

Another topic: Folding space/time. I love it and it fits neatly into my pocket for when I need it.

Simply brilliant stuff.

[ulli]

This is no joke. There is material out there that is not as way-out as a lot of other stuff, to suggest that bombardment of some kind may be on the cards.

At sott.net, they say Sitchin's planet cannot come into the inner solar system, but since comets can (and comets are basically asteroids), a comet strike may be how the Nibiru scenario actually plays out. And come to think of it, Nibiru itself might well have planetary and other stuff orbiting it in any case.

Secondly, Bill Ryan endorses Bob Dean's view of a planet-X type object appearing in about 5 years time. I personally have no opinion, but it si an eventuality to be factored in.

I can't think of a better situation where such a tiny cause could ultimately have such tremendous global effects as an well-aimed asteroid missing. The tiny cause would be, as early as possible, to divert the asteroid's trajectory by an infinitesimal amount, changing its direction of travel ever so slightly to begin with but missing by thousands of miles when it arrived.

How heavy is an asteroid in outer space? It's weightless! And how heavy is that car that a mother is capable single-handedly of lifting off her child?

In other words, this target, should it ever come to that (again, hopefully not), ought to be achievable, both because the task is not as difficult as we would like to think, and because we are all capable of much more than we like to think.

Edit: written without having seen Calz's above post.

Thanks, araucaria. You nailed it.
My son was two years old when I left London, and already then it was my wish to be away from a big city in case of a massive earth change event.
But then the little island of Barbados didn't feel too safe either any longer
and I manifested a "prince" to come and take me to the highlands of Costa Rica,
which welcomed my the very week I arrived with a terrifying earth quake.
At 3:33 am local time.
We have to start by connecting the dots of our lives and see how we can manifest our heart's desires.
Do we wish for death and destruction or do we wish for a major clean-up here?
We can do it, if we apply our intent.
In the past there may not have been a civilization yet with enough civilized beings who knew they had these powers,
but what if this time things are different. Not only our own willingness to take the stirring wheel,
but also that of those who spent eons guiding us to where we are now.
And not all of it is bad, if one can just look at some of the incredible people around us, and the efforts they have made in their lives.

Consider all the craters that were obviously much "heavier?" asteroids???

[araucaria]

The asteroid in my scenario is only weightless on the level we would deal with it. On the physical level,it would take a few sticks of dynamite to shift. But on the level of consciousness, we can talk to it. And we wouldn't even have to ask it nicely. We could get it through to its possibly limited consciousness that we are all in this together, and it will thank us for the opportunity to change course and avoid its own annihilation. An asteroid on steroids you might say :)

[Hervé]

OK... here is my attempt at clarifying the matter of the known facts about these cycles of asteroids/meteorites pummelings:



I think that too many cyclical events are being correlated to ONE companion star to our sun and inferred to be a dwarf star named "Nemesis."

One type of cyclical events is illustrated with this "clock":



http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/images5/raup-sepkoski-plot.gif
A PLOT OF DATA ON LIFE EXTINCTIONS, COLLECTED BY DAVID RAUP AND JOHN SEPKOSKI AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, SHOWS PEAKS IN THE EXTINCTION RATE OCCURRING AT 26- TO 30-MILLION-YEAR INTERVALS, AS INDICATED BY ARROWS

The above from: http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/extinctions-nemesis.html (http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/extinctions-nemesis.html)

Check this java applet to get an idea on the long-period orbit of such a "companion":

http://astro.ph.unimelb.edu.au/central/Mirrors/binary/binary.htm (http://astro.ph.unimelb.edu.au/central/Mirrors/binary/binary.htm)



The other is given by the 26,000 year cyle of the precession of the equinoxes:

http://binaryresearchinstitute.org/bri/research/introduction/theory.shtml (http://binaryresearchinstitute.org/bri/research/introduction/theory.shtml)



https://qy9cnq.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p-GVcbSbWldyGBQSPHMm5Gu2c_gQooLDnrX1_hMZrD_moxX1AG7wpWt3XxuM0AvpAN0Xz7igmIuaz7o3orMkxMGLbMuJXbtKx/Binary-01.gif?psid=1




Due to the existence of both type of "clocks", and accordingly, that makes our solar system a TERNARY star system with one star called "Sun" and TWO companion stars BOTH named NEMESIS.

There lies the confusion!

Wasn't it Arthur Neuman who said something like: "The real trouble is that everything is happening at the same time!"?

Now that the main "clocks" are disentangled:


Keeping with the train of thoughts of some of the magnetic reversals being due to falling skies on people's heads... here is the illustration suggested by the Binary Research Institute (http://binaryresearchinstitute.org/bri/research/evidence/sheeredge.shtml) for the existence of the Oort cloud Sheer Edge:



https://qy9cnq.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pbOeTgzrNa9sADbYgZAy3z11fT69WySfDNJf42APzQ18RGsybEZ1E7k2bpnSq4Im4dVQRFjWVkkN8ymGnXRhVg04hsPda5pqV/Sheer%20edge-02.gif?psid=1


Now, that's quite a pool (billiards) game!




That particular 26,000 year clock would have it's "midnight" every time this solar system gets bombarded with these asteroids.



It therefore seems like the "elite" have gotten a pretty good idea on when that "midnight occurs, earth-time wise.



This is also the scenario promulgated by Laura Knight-Jadzcyk and the "Cs."


Thinking of it though, it doesn't really matter where one goes in hiding within this solar system when all of it is going to be pummeled like Dresden during WW II... unless their secret space program is really about getting out of this solar system for a while...

Now... on the other hand, every time one of these cycle completes, there are LESS and LESS of these asteroids/meteorites left as potential projectiles against this solar system :)... which make it easier to focus and deflect the remaining ones!




To corroborate with the Dogon cosmology there are these other interesting recorded cylces about Sirius:


From: http://binaryresearchinstitute.org/srg/SiriusResearch.shtml (http://binaryresearchinstitute.org/srg/SiriusResearch.shtml)



Mr. Homann concludes below that:
"These observations clearly indicate that the so-called 'precession of the earth' is NOT a scientific fact, and that the Sirius system has a noticeable gravitational influence on our solar system."

INTERPRETATION OF THE DATA:
Significant time deviations in earth's period of rotation, as measured with respect to Sirius have occurred over certain months (e.g. in the spring of 1989, when Sirius A, Sirius B and the sun were in direct conjunction). Some minor, but nevertheless distinct deviations appear at regular yearly intervals (usually around March). Since these deviations occur annually, the gravitational influence of the moon or perturbations caused by other planets in the solar system can be excluded. Since such deviations from mean sidereal time CANNOT be caused by an increase or decrease in the speed of earth's rotation, I suspect a combined 'gravitational' effect of the sun and the Sirius system on the earth's axis of rotation. In my article "Some more thoughts on gravitation" I have tried to describe how the Sirius system might be responsible for a 'curvature in space' that can reach as far as to our solar system. As we know, the revolution of Sirius B and Sirius A around their common center of gravity over a period of about 49 years proceeds in an almost vertical plane relative to the planetary plane of our solar system. This motion could cause a periodic fluctuation in the curvature of space, similar to an ocean where a calm wind would create long-stretched waves. If a ship were to sail on such waves, its mast will gently swing back and forth. Likewise, during the earth's orbit around the sun the axis of the earth would 'oscillate' due to these periodic fluctuations of the space-curvature between sun and Sirius. Although the speed of earth's rotation remains unchanged (!), a positive or negative time-deviation from mean sidereal time can be measured, depending on the magnitude and direction of the oscillation of the axis, the sidereal point of reference and the latitude on earth from which the measurements are taken. As a matter of fact, the International Earth Rotation Service observes significant daily variations in earth's sidereal rotation period.

It is also very important to remember that despite some major variations in earth's period of rotation, the mean time interval of the sidereal year or earth's complete orbit period basically remains constant.

Even more surprising is the observation that the mean time interval of the sidereal year, as measured with respect to Sirius is nearly identical (by less than one second) to the time interval of the tropical year. According to the theory of 'precession', a yearly time difference of about 1223 s is supposed to occur between a sidereal year and the tropical year.

The meridian transit measurements of Sirius have shown that neither a time difference of 6 × 1223 s, nor a difference of 6 × 3.34 s has occurred over the 6-year observation period from April 1994 to April 2000.

These observations clearly indicate that the so-called 'precession of the earth' is NOT a scientific fact, and that the Sirius system has a noticeable gravitational influence on our solar system. Obviously, Newton's laws of gravitation cannot explain Einstein's universe. In that respect, it requires further study to see if the 49 year cycle of the Sirius system can provide us with an explanation of the large fluctuations and annual irregularities in earth's rate of rotation that have also been observed around 1941 by experts at the US Naval Observatory.

Additional Comment:
Two other phenomena should be mentioned that took place during the conjunction of Sirius A, Sirius B and the sun around the beginning of February to the end of March 1989, as the function of the time deviation entered from the negative into the positive range (see Graph 1). During this time our outermost planet Pluto, whose revolution period of 248.421 years is exactly 5.0004 to 1 in relation to the Sirius B - Sirius A's orbit period of 49.68 years, went through the perihelion of its very eccentric orbit. On 23 March 1989 an 800 m long 'rock' came in strikingly close proximity to our earth at a speed of about 70.000 km/h. Missing our earth by only a few hours - thereby sparing us a gigantic catastrophe - it also went through its perihelion between sun and Sirius. Thanks to astronomers, who discovered it as it already disappeared again into the vastness of space, a major widespread panic was avoided. These celestial phenomena are not subject to plain coincidence, but are lawful celestial mechanical events. In fact, the Sirius system determines the second (empty) focus point, which is essential for the elliptic orbits of these and other celestial bodies in our solar system. Keep in mind that even our earth has its perihelion around January 2, as it passes through the conjunction of sun and Sirius each year


According to how records have been deciphered, Ancient Egyptians were VERY obsessed with Sirius. That was their chronometer/clock.

So do you believe that this will really happen again soon?
What will you do to prepare yourself and your family?

I think each and everyone of us has been through all of these states...
finding temporary escape by being flippant, frivolous, maybe even promiscuous,
to having night terrors about the future, in which not even death is a release,
but survival under the most mind-numbing conditions;
of finishing life by living outdoors, possibly with injuries.
Human suffering can be endless.

But we here have been sharing our stories about how to avoid such extreme scenarios.
Whatever anyone needs to get into their inner reality as well as comfort zone should be pursued,
and I can assure you this will lead to the discovery that we have incredible powers.
We can manifest a new earth, without destroying the old one and we certainly can build a protection shield for our home planet.

But these powers must be earned, as they need to be accompanied by
responsibility, sincerity, trustworthiness and appreciation of one another.

Maybe not. I must have been thinking of the Borges story "Death and the compass" where three murders are committed and despite a message saying the third is the last one, the detective works out that there is a fourth crime to be committed at the fourth point. He's right, only the trouble is, he is the victim - too clever by half.

Yes, definitely not. You stick to astrologer's triangles.

I respect the possibility.

I expect the "odds" of the grid going down or ww3 greater (or will happen sooner).

Pike spelled it all out how many years ago??? All the wars. All the "plans". Look around and tell me what hasn't gone to script???

I acknowledge that many seem to believe the "nwo" or PTB/W are falling apart ... but I look up in the sky and see the chemtrails. I look at the news and see the endless march to war in the mideast (on several fronts). I look at all the bankster crimes and see no prosecution.

Yet I see this all as "experience" for us here on the rock.

The greatest comfort I have (remaining after many years of "new age" has started to fall away) is the NDE'rs testimony. There are many. Do I live in fear??? Of course not. Unless you discount the NDE'r stories what is there to really fear???

Prep for family???

Several months of food, water and protection (although I *really really* don't want to ever take another life).

Could/should I do more?

I suppose ... but if the worst case scenario actually comes to pass I don't think boundaries will contain it.

I actually am eager for the collapse to commence ... as it needs to do before something better will come from it. If the grid does *not* go down look at what is "planned" for us. Ready for your microchips everyone???

Bottom line it is all good ... it is all experience.

We are small parcels of "Source" with no other expectation than to experience life in physicality (here). That is why we are here. This includes the "bad" as well as the "good".

They had a "falling out" about an issue (as is common among us humans).

Bill Ryan condemns her as well (although I don't know if it stems beyond Jay's assessment).

Look at the facts. Look at what is presented. Come up with a better explanation for the cyclical "events" that the planet experiences.

Is it a natural birth/growth/aging/death cycle that exists in the Universe???

Cal

Calz, I'm hearing you, seriously. It's all there in our face.
All my life I've been made aware, through dreams and later reading.
But my search through all these prophecies never stopped, as I was not only an arch survivor,
but want as many people as possible to have a certainty that their grandchildren have a good future,
free from unimaginable trauma.

So one day I noticed that people with raised consciousness can perform miracles.
I have seen them.
If we can bust hurricane clouds in a matter of two hours then we can change the orbit of an incoming meteor or even asteroid with a tiny mental pellet.
It's only a matter of unified effort. This is the only hard part, to get people to agree on this.

Those who have not yet developed independent individuality and therefore the power that comes with such independence are either trapped by the idea that money and connection will get them into an underground survival bunker, or they spend their time pursuing philosophies that take them away from the 3D plane altogether.

What we are doing here is unique. Villagers are loners, and as such they have sovereignty.
Combining these energies will not happen by any form of herding, but purely by presenting one's viewpoint by manner of reason, and then leaving the choice and judgement up to the others.
Each one must then figure out where they stand. No cajoling, no manipulation.

This process will take time, as not everyone sees this as the basis.

I agree we all possess our own individual and unique view. I have no end of the world in my future. That is my view. If disaster befalls the world within which one perceives and they believe they see "me" realize one is only seeing a shadow of me... in essence a third creation between the actual perceiver and the actual me.

I (the actual me) will always be sipping Perrier with a few lime squeezes while gazing at the setting sun and holding the hand of my lovely wife, Cristina, as we watch our children and grand children chasing around in the surf just past the beach's horizon.

Not to detract from the possibility of an asteroid(s) hitting the earth, but as something to be considered in addition to such thoughts...I've begun researching the expanding earth theory.

Just covering the surface in my research so far...connecting a few dots here and there.



Clif High (oh, I can hear the groans now) interview on the Vinny Eastwood Show...food for thought....

combined with Dutchsince interview on Deep Earth Bunker Radio.....

combined with Jay Weidner's understanding of the Hendaye Cross...


started my thought processes in this direction...Dutchsince describing what is currently going on with the earth appears to fit with Clif's expanding earth theory and Jay's understanding of the message of the Hendaye Cross.

I am not convinced of anything, not having enough information at hand to say one way or another if this is valid or not...but it has tickled my imagination enough to want pursue it.

Anyone else have any ideas on this?

I understood your post both when I read it as well as when I read it again. Yet I very well could have missed something you may have meant to convey. If you think I have, please, assist this dense one (yes I am very dense as I have geekitis) so I may better understand. Thanks Ulli... by the way, unusually cool this morning over here in San Jose... what about over in the valley? Take Care, Chester

yeah, grey day, t-shirt and sweater day with socks.
Here just one woman seeing the loss of all that cash in her imagination and grieving your losses....no hidden meanings...

ahhhh - see, I told you I can be dense. Now for direct truth. What happened to me (the reality I experienced of which now I take full responsibility for creating) was the best thing that ever happened to me, including the two failed suicide attempts and the following three month long, dark night of the soul depression. What I know is a fact is that this forum gave me the opportunity to literally save my life. Also, and thanks to levels of patience amongst the forum creator and the mods and ultimately several posters, I have reached (I truly believe) a state of true, non belligerence. And it was a close call. I am still on personal probabtion (and maybe should be for the rest of this life) but I also believe I am over the hump.

I also very much appreciate you folks allowing me to pass through the village sometime. I read in one of your comments, Ulli, the "s"trolling possibility and I hope that if you or anyone ever feels I am trolling (or that I might be a troll), tell me and I will do my absolute best to adjust (even further) than I already have.

I am really happy to be a member of Avalon. I can assure you my family is extremely happy I found Avalon based on the transformed individual they have experienced in the last several months. Time for lunch. Be back later, Chester
