It's Crunch Time Guys...

[Peace of Mind]

Hi guys,

I've been real busy as of late and haven't had the time to enjoy this beautiful forum. I still check in here and there, but today I felt compel to make a post.

I have a strong feeling that our humanity and commitments will be tested within the next few days. Will we look at this event as a bad mishap and continue to go on as if nothing happened…or will we really change our way of living? The results will be in as soon as we collectively make that decision. This can very well turn out catastrophic, or be the catalyst to a bright and beautiful future.

This is our time, (all of us) to individually force our governments and corporations to do what is right by changing policies and energy resources. This was not only a wake up call but a self conscious warning. So, will we react accordingly or continue to act powerless and allow the wicked handful of elite status people to destroy the world and everything in/on it? As you know….we always get exactly what we deserve…

The following is an article from today’s paper. It shines a light on the potential of humanity and how BP didn’t really know what they were doing…

Hopefully this posting will aid in the motivational process.

Live well guys, love always conquer…

JUST WHO WAS THAT MASKED PLUMBER?
Written by Helen Kennedy- NY Daily News

Did a Humble, self-effacing plumber stop the worst environmental disaster in US history? California engineering Prof. Robert Bea sure thinks so.
Two months ago, Bea, a former Shell executive who has been widely quoted about the BP spill, got a late-night call from a plumber who said he might have a fix.

“He called me because he could get no sensible response from BP,” Bea, 74, told the Daily News.
“ He spent a good deal of time explaining why a lowly plumber should be talking to a Berkely professor. I told him I could never be a plumber-I had proved that a couple of times.”
The plumber sent Bea a sketch for a containment cap- Just like the one BP used yesterday. Bea sent it to pals working the spill.
BP said it was unclear where the successful design came from.
Unlike all the other people who told Bea they had a solution, the plumber didn’t want fame or fortune. He didn’t even give his name.
I went to bed and I cried,” Bea said. “ I was so struck that someone wanted to reach out, not for recognition or payment. That, to me, is the greatness of this country.”

Ugh, I hate when plumbers refer to themselves as lowly. We are pretty bright people with very good troubleshooting and problem solving capabilities.

But I have been having the same feelings as you POM, I just hope I'm wrong.

It all gets down to the real nuts and bolts, sometimes Engineers , mathematicians got the heads into formulas and perfect design structures when all it takes is a little common sense which usually the industrial machinist, plumbers, carpenters , construction workers ,mechanics, electricians the list is endless of people with a little common sense who can solve complex problems just because they do problem solving every single day as they face different unique situations within their workday. That's why I am very confident that we can solved many of the problems facing us today if they let common working folks put their hearts and minds to resolve them . Maybe someday governments will be made of volunteers whose only purpose will be to serve the community, no pay benefits do your time and along comes another volunteer group. Peace of Mind thanks for sharing the plumber story and also for this thread.
An example of common sense:
The manufacturing company I worked for spend millions of dollars in Engineers creating testing equipment for ballast, the testing equipment was always down, then along came two technicians that created a very cheap, about 10k, piece of testing equipment, it was so efficient that they are still using it today, go figure.

Many many blessings to all.:thumb:

The best solution I heard for the oil COLLECTION (not capping per se) came from a 5 year old child.

The 5-year-old suggested taking an old steel ship, gutting it, and sinking it upside down over the wrecked blowout preventer. The oil and gas would 100% collect underneath it and could be siphoned off through low-pressure valves attached to the portholes.

Smart kid... Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings. I guess he didn't have BP's phone number. :)

This is a brilliant solution except in the event of a hurricane. Its implementation (or a variant thereof) certainly would have eliminated the non-stop emptying of oil and gas into the Gulf and would have made clean-up far easier and ecological damage far less.

Indeed. It is so.

The key is CHOICE.

We dwell in individuated bubbles of reality and are socialized into dominant reality structures that we learn to believe in and hold communally as fact. The more asleep we are within the bubble the more likely we are to accept that which is offered from the outside as fact. The more awake the more likely we are to see something we recognize as NOT who we are or NOT what we want to experience and say,"No thanks. Not for me."

While "doing" is certainly important IMO, BEING is even more important. Being present in the moment. Being aware of the thought-triggers offered and deciding whether they work to support the reality we wish to dwell in.

Reality right now seems like one of those old movie projectors with the multiple stills that, when set in motion, gave the illusion of movement. Occasionally the film would jerk as it moved thru the spool and the glitch made it possible to see thru the illusion of movement.

Something similar is happening now. All sorts of glitches popping in from various "perspectives" that make it that much harder to believe in some "mass reality" independent of each perceiver. By way of analogy I'd be interested in hearing the opinion of an authentic Australian Aborigine as to the Gulf Oil reality. I wouldn't be too surprised if to that perceiver this reality were seen as a gross inversion of "dream time," one completely and utterly devoid of all characteristics of that which is really REAL.

I imagine the Chinese would say we are indeed living in interesting times.

[Lost Soul]

Doesn't matter if it came from a "lowly" plumber. We are all spiritual beings connected to the one. That one of us should be more inspired or connected to the source of all things such that the problem is resolved is something to cheer about.

About sinking the ship, it would have to have enough pipes coming out of the portals such that the oil pressure won't build up and rupture the hull. Even if the hull doesn't initially burst, oil coming out of the ocean floor has a lot of sludge (rocks) which has an abrasive quality like sand blasting does. Gradually it will wear through and burst the hull.

I think the CHOICE we need to make is to SEE that we NEED to stop compartmentalizing according to the "Society Procedures Manual" and really understand that everything is connected to everything else... we need to SEE how each action affects the many people that we interact with and SEE how to work WITH (not AGAINST) the 'chain of events'...

(just thinking out loud again) maybe we need to set up some project to get THAT IDEA (chain-of-events) across to the public... it might work better coming at it from that angle then to try to discuss the news issues that people have already bought into the lies about...

Yes, there is a layer of reality in which everything is connected to everything else. However, at the consciousness/awareness level Reality is quite compartmentalized. This has less to do with social conditioning - the manual you refer to -- and a great deal more to do with personal development.

Setting aside reality filtering for the moment (i.e., whether one is born white, black, Hindu, Jew, 1st world, 3rd world) and focusing solely on the developmental aspects of awareness, individuals inhabit bands within a spectrum of awareness. I'll use the school system for this example. Some humans live their entire lives at an awareness level equivalent to Grade One. Humanity as a whole can be arrayed across all grade levels up and thru what might be likened to "post-doc" levels of awareness. It would not surprise me if there were not also some type of symbiotic relationship between levels of awareness and inner drives toward Service to Self (earlier grades) and Service to Other (more advanced grades).

The great thrust of the Ages is getting the majority of humanity to the level of awareness in which the combined planetary consciousness does indeed"understand that everything is connected to everything else... to SEE how each action affects the many people that we interact with and SEE how to work WITH (not AGAINST) the 'chain of events'."

At this time on Earth the classifications of awareness/consciousness are often at odds with "levels of attainment" reflected within society. Some very young (Grade 1-3) levels of awareness often occupy powerful positions within society, while very advanced (Post Doc) levels of awareness often occupy social positions that wield little inherent power in terms of "influencing." They might play roles as janitors, street sweepers, factory workers. And unfortunately it is often the case when the truly advanced, awake and aware members of society challenge the status quo they invariably end up labeled "social misfits".

Yes, very true... so the question remains... How do we flip the power structure of society to be able to put the creative, innovative, common-sense, spiritually-mature (advanced-level) MISFITS in a position of leadership... (and yes I do realize that most people in the advanced levels don't really WANT to be in charge)...

it is a tough call to make...

We don't flip the power structure. We dismantle it one thought at a time. We REJECT the ideas of power over, war, corporate control, fiat currency, brain-washed inept public educational institutions, self-serving political agendas, greed, social programming via all mainstream media etc., and focus on living the life we want to experience within the little plot of thought-form creation we completely and utterly control. We enlarge whatever positive idea floats into our awareness and zap utterly and completely all thoughts that diminish or harm another. We cultivate peace and loving consideration within our hearts. We stay focused in the present.

It is said a single enlightened frequency can walk thru the aisles of a grocery store and influence many through the powerful imprint of an attuned auric field. This supports the notion of BEING being far more important than doing. The power structures in society would flip of their own accord when no longer supported by fear, anxiety, terror, hate, deceit, lies, and corruption.

I believe this is happening right now, though evidence is in scant supply at the moment. As more and more humans get tired of the game and decide anything is better than the status quo, the foundations currently supporting dark power structures become increasingly attenuated. It's more about finding the Gandhi inside each being and less about attacking the elements in positions of dominance who feed off the energies of opposition.

I don't think many of us would be incarnate at this time if we didn't believe it were possible to dismantle these accreted power structures with a smile and a wave goodbye. And yes, I know it's not so very simple when encased in a 3D body-suit or it would have been accomplished a long time ago. I just think there are greatly increased factors toward upliftment throughout the biosphere and within the energy fields at this time than have been in play for eons.

That's why the Dark Horde is pulling out all the stops. They're losing their grip and they know it.

so are you saying that all of us are just biding our time until we can 'get the heck out of dodge' ? LOL

I like that line of thought better than the one I came up with; I just wish there was a way to merge with the 'speed-up' of the time-frenquencies, etc. and get to this a lot faster then it is happening... although I DO see a lot more awareness in a lot more people than I did even 1 year ago...

I also think it has to be done with the exponential focus of the local community (ya know- everything pops up in small amounts but it is everywhere at the same time)

Agreed!

Community focus works because communities exist within common bands of awareness/consciousness. Communities flower within the basic principle of "like attracts like."

"Think globally. Act locally" (I remember the slogan but not who originated it.)

[lightwalker]

Why not lighten this up and call this "Crunchy Granola Time" instead.

Some of my favorites:
I read a long time ago..."One fully realized god-fire being can walk through a whole village and change the village". (Ramtha The White Book) I remember thinking "I want that". Little did I realize what a journey that desire would put me on.

And this:
"You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience and strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love.
Your are these things.
And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things." CWG Pg 86

One of the things that I do in my community is plant trees.
