Put Another Log On The Fire

[Lost N Found]

I stand with Runningdeer in welcoming you Joe. Interesting to live in an area where being out side is so much better even in the cold coming on. Heating with wood is a very calming thing during the winter times. This campfire is very warming to the heart and soul. I see so many new hearts and souls coming here. Lionhawk will have to gather us up and cut more logs for the fire and we all have to clear a bigger area and provide tree seats for all coming in. So grab a log when want, toss on the fire and ask for the talking stick. This is the meeting of the minds to bring feelings of the heart and the soul. It is a connection to the one. we all give our warmth and the fire burns bright.

Here are new folks that I see sitting around and some have already put logs on the fire. Thank you all for being here, this makes my heart gather rhythm to see new lives/essence join. Orph, Kanishk,Gardener, Sstarss, YoYoYo, Hey it's me, Calz our stick captain, Ron Mauer Sr, fourty-two, Is that like the domino game? and Caren. These are just some new folks that I have seen lately and I just wanted to welcome all around this very warm bright light. And we can never forget the silent loving man that has made this all possible, Bill Ryan and lionhawk for starting the fire. I see also 1inmany and Ulli have sat around the fire. Thank you all,

Shadowself, Runningdeer, Meggings, Delight connected so deeply. The love here grows daily. Shadowself, your tellings of your sons are wonderful and sad also but you did what is the right thing to do with all humans, you nurtured them and their dreams to do what came. I must admit that I caught a video of Robin Williams and how the NWO Murdered him the other day and just knowing that John worked with him and was good friends, I was going to post that here but thought that it would not be right.

Meggings, I totally agree with Shadowself about your paintings, That painting is way deep into the heart.
Runningdeer, your telling of Gray wolf is so heartfelt and something in you that is wonderful.
Delight, you give us so much to feel.

This is just my thanks and love to all around this fire tonight and tomorrow and always. I am moving once again towards the woods for the evening so to all a good night and sweet dreams.

Steven

Good Morning! :sun:

[Joe Sustaire]

Thanks my friends!

Looks like Lionhawks got the campfire in good shape. I'm good on the coffee, but I sure could use some of those great looking cookies! :highfive:

And yeah, a little wood heat in the house is feeling good.....

[Lionhawk]

One year I made 30 dozen of cookies for the holidays. Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, Sugar, and a Maple Oatmeal invention that turned out to be the bomb. I froze most of them. So one day I went looking for some cookies and couldn't find any. ???????????????? @^#^*((*Y* ?????????????? Who was the culprit? Shadowself had devoured them all. She reminded me of a cookieholic. She loves chocolate too! She is worse than a mouse when it comes to cookies. Then she complains about getting fat. I just tell her that there is more to hug. :inlove:

Good Morning to you my brother lionhawk, you really did get busy, Campfire looks absolutely wonderful. Joe, those cookies do look good. I have two things to bring to the fire this morning. These are things that enter my being during the rem state.

10 Quotes From a Sioux Indian Chief That Will Make You Question Everything About Our Society

ByNikola
Posted on September 10, 2015

Luther Standing Bear was an Oglala Lakota Sioux Chief who, among a few rare others such as Charles Eastman,Black Elk and Gertrude Bonnin occupied the rift between the way of life of the Indigenous people of the Great Plains before, and during, the arrival and subsequent spread of the European pioneers.
Raised in the traditions of his people until the age of eleven, he was then educated at the Carlisle Indian Industrial Boarding School of Pennsylvania, where he learned the English language and way of life. (Though a National Historical Landmark, Carlisle remains a place of controversy in Native circles.) Like his above mentioned contemporaries, however, his native roots were deep, leaving him in the unique position of being a conduit between cultures.

Though his movement through the white man’s world was not without “success” — he had numerous movie roles in Hollywood — his enduring legacy was the protection of the way of life of his people.
By the time of his death he had published 4 books and had become a leader at the forefront of the progressive movement aimed at preserving Native American heritage and sovereignty, coming to be known as a strong voice in the education of the white man as to the Native American way of life.
Here, then, are 10 quotes from the great Sioux Indian Chief known as Standing Bear that will be sure to disturb much of what you think you know about “modern” culture.
1) Praise, flattery, exaggerated manners and fine, high-sounding words were no part of Lakota politeness. Excessive manners were put down as insincere, and the constant talker was considered rude and thoughtless. Conversation was never begun at once, or in a hurried manner.
2) Children were taught that true politeness was to be defined in actions rather than in words. They were never allowed to pass between the fire and the older person or a visitor, to speak while others were speaking, or to make fun of a crippled or disfigured person. If a child thoughtlessly tried to do so, a parent, in a quiet voice, immediately set him right.

3) Silence was meaningful with the Lakota, and his granting a space of silence before talking was done in the practice of true politeness and regardful of the rule that ‘thought comes before speech.’…and in the midst of sorrow, sickness, death or misfortune of any kind, and in the presence of the notable and great, silence was the mark of respect… strict observance of this tenet of good behavior was the reason, no doubt, for his being given the false characterization by the white man of being a stoic. He has been judged to be dumb, stupid, indifferent, and unfeeling.
4) We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, the winding streams with tangled growth, as ‘wild’. Only to the white man was nature a ‘wilderness’ and only to him was it ‘infested’ with ‘wild’ animals and ‘savage’ people. To us it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery.
5) With all creatures of the earth, sky and water was a real and active principle. In the animal and bird world there existed a brotherly feeling that kept the Lakota safe among them. And so close did some of the Lakotas come to their feathered and furred friends that in true brotherhood they spoke a common tongue.
6) This concept of life and its relations was humanizing and gave to the Lakota an abiding love. It filled his being with the joy and mystery of living; it gave him reverence for all life; it made a place for all things in the scheme of existence with equal importance to all.
7) It was good for the skin to touch the earth, and the old people liked to remove their moccasins and walk with bare feet on the sacred earth… the old Indian still sits upon the earth instead of propping himself up and away from its life giving forces. For him, to sit or lie upon the ground is to be able to think more deeply and to feel more keenly. He can see more clearly into the mysteries of life and come closer in kinship to other lives about him.

8) Everything was possessed of personality, only differing from us in form. Knowledge was inherent in all things. The world was a library and its books were the stones, leaves, grass, brooks, and the birds and animals that shared, alike with us, the storms and blessings of earth. We learned to do what only the student of nature learns, and that was to feel beauty. We never railed at the storms, the furious winds, and the biting frosts and snows. To do so intensified human futility, so whatever came we adjusted ourselves, by more effort and energy if necessary, but without complaint.
9) …the old Lakota was wise. He knew that a man’s heart, away from nature, becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans, too. So he kept his children close to nature’s softening influence.
10) Civilization has been thrust upon me… and it has not added one whit to my love for truth, honesty, and generosity.
Painting the touch of the old school, these quotes have deep meaning in modern times too. They deeply moved me, and made me question our society. I hope they did the same to you.

Check out the detail of the craftsmanship

[Lionhawk]

This little tale is about a past life I had in southwestern Greece. Somewhere around the time when Ptaah reined in Egypt.

Remember when I said to remember the little things that resonated with you as a child? One of those little things that stuck to me came from grade school. Out of a world history lesson. Back then, I was not fond of history. To many dates and details to remember, along with all the names of places and people. I don't do well with names period. We were studying about shipping back in the day. The thing that caught my attention was the fact that spices were a main commodity and were exported and imported everywhere by ships. I think that was the only fact I kept in my head for all these years as to what I learned from history. I also didn't know why until 5 years ago.

For years I thought of having a past life as a pirate. I had this fascination with the sea. I would spend so many hours on my days off looking at used sailboats online. I would make a pot of coffee and be in dreamland the whole day. I remember going on a charter boat called the Hell Cat ii, and I would ride as close to the bow, as not to make the Captain nervous, while everyone else would be down in the galley, puking their brains out. I never got seasick. The Hell Cat was a steel vessel at 112' long.

http://ctcharter.blogspot.com/2008/05/hell-cat-ii-groton-ct-party-boat.html

I just loved being on the front of that boat. The salt air and seawater spraying the bow as we crossed over the waves. Like a kid on Christmas morning. Caught fish too!
I also wondered where this uncanny sense of direction came from. Logistics as well as I was in the shipping and receiving business for a few years. Also transport. I never figured out why. Then one day, looking for a job and getting disgusted with the offering of the newspaper, I decided it was time to do something I would like to do. Instead of having the economy dictate what they wanted ne to settle for. So I said to myself that I always wanted to build a boat. And there started my career in the boating industry. I absolutely love it! Everyday was a joy and I couldn't wait till the next day to do it all over again.

As it turns out I had a shipping company back in Greece. Guess what I was shipping?
Spices and other things. Turns out I was also a shipper of opium. I also had an excellent reputation. I had people working for me and that work provided for many families in our town. I never hired for the purpose of just having a person work for me because the company was like a big family. I always took care of everyone and no one went without. And because of that the dynamics of the company was very successful. We had a lot of ships that could handle all sorts of cargo. I never asked anyone to do anything I wouldn't do myself. That included long voyages. We had the logistics down to a cool science considering the time when this occurred.

My home was bigger than most. I also had a house staff that took care of things and they lived in the house as well. It wasn't slave labor in any context. The house was a little different in design as it was somewhat long. On one end of it was a pool made up of white marble. 15 x 15 and about 10' deep. It was partially enclosed with places to lay down and soak some sun after a good soak.

Then one day I had to receive a customer at the shoreline. She was coming by ship. I remember that day like yesterday. She found me because she had some highly sensitive cargo that she wanted transported sight unseen. She was mysterious in her manner. Spoke very little and with a funny accent. She had traveled many miles to find me. So I welcomed her to our house so that she did not need any special commendations. While she stayed there, I decided to show her the town. She was absolutely radiant and the town's people were poking fun at me as if to say she the one. So they were happy for me in that sense. The town fell in love with her, plain and simple. Folks would give her little gifts while we walked down to this market or that market. It was like your Italian Grandmother would pinch your cheek as they went by us. She had a great time and loosened up a bit. I was setting things up for her and that took a little time to do.

Then one day, I decided if she would like to go out on one of my ships for a day cruise. She said yes and so off we went. While on the ship, the back of, we had a small talk and I think I was heading down to the galley to retrieve some spirits and food. She said something to me and I looked in her direction. She was just stunning. I guess at that point I got a little googly eyed and when I turned back and took a step, I walked right into the main mast pole and knocked myself out and fell overboard. Apparently she jumped in and that took some guts as it was at least 15' to the water. She grabbed me and pulled us up to the ropes that were hanging down to the water. I think the cold snapped me out of it. Maybe she did something to revive me but I had been out cold. Anyways, that person turned out to be my Twin Flame. We fell in love and would spend countless hours at the pool discussing he world. She would then visit us with her presence from time to time. Everyone was overjoyed to see her when she came. Then all hell broke loose.....

Here below is one ship I used to build. Many different departments assisted in this process. Most of the small parts as they called them, were bigger than a lot of boats. I was in charge of the quality of these parts. All the parts such as counter tops, seats, ceiling and floors, dashes, bathrooms, tables, and furniture, etc. These parts looked like a million bucks when they left my crew. And I have also built other boats all by myself that are world re-known. One boat was a 25' footer that could go 63 miles an hour. I also built several of these for Lake Powell and had several boats (5) in a Salt Lake City boat show.

If you do anything in your life, make sure you love doing it. It makes a world of difference! I'm not bragging just saying.

This is just some more of the Story that Zionbrion started. I can't begin to give the post numbers at this point but here is a continuation. I do believe that I compiled something a bit back but here again can't give the posts. If anyone is interested I can repost most of this story from beginning. Shadowself gave us a pic and vid of Sila running through water puddles just recently. So here goes,

Chapter( )

Grip seemed to move faster and pulled on the rope. I stumbled quite a few times and Grip just pulled the rope so I would stay upright and keep up. I was almost running by the time Grip stopped and I ran into him. He said, “ this is where we stop for a bite to eat and a short rest. Grip untied the rope and told me to sit down. I sat and Grip built a small fire. When the fire became bright I noticed a very worried look on Grips face. I asked him if we were in danger and he just looked at me at first and then said, “we must eat something first”. When we have eaten, I will tell you where we are and what is here that is so dangerous. This fire must not be any bigger than this and as soon as we eat we must extinguish it. There are dangerous people in these parts and if they catch us we will be eaten. I understood by looking at Grips face that we must be very quiet and eat very fast. After we got some hot food and had a drink of water, Grip put the fire out. He then said “come we must move away from here. He then tied the rope around my belt once again and we moved towards the east again. We walked for another hour or so and Grip came to halt. “This is where we will rest for awhile.” I nodded to myself and sat down to get comfortable to sleep for awhile. This is when I heard the screams and looked back from where we had eaten and saw a great fire. Grip looked at me and said get some sleep we will be moving again shortly. He then told me that we must make it to the caves that will give us an unobstructed travel to the coast. I asked him how far to the caves and he said another few hours or so. I then asked how far to the coast once we enter the caves. He then told me to rest without an answer. So I closed my eyes and fell into a fitful sleep.

I dreamed of the young girl again and this dream was filled with her approaching a campfire once again. She wearily approached and waited to see who had created it. The dog was crouched down in front of her and watching very closely. She saw to tall men and a women putting a log on the fire. She could smell the food being cooked and the coffee aroma, it made her very hungry and she wanted to move into the camp where she knew she could get some food and warmth. The dog was being very quiet and not moving so she waited to see if more folks were going to be around this fire.

I was awakened by a very large rumbling and Grip was shaking me at the same time. He already had the rope tied to my belt. He looked very worried and Said, “get up we must move now and we are going to have to run the best we can. We must make the caves within the next few hours or we will not survive. I asked what the matter was and he looked towards the north. I could see his face lit up with orange light. I turned and was suddenly gripped with fear. The entire northern hemisphere it appeared was lit with orange light and it took just an instant for me to understand, that nuclear bombs had been dropped or set off in mass. I jumped up and Grip was already moving, The rope pulled on me and my legs just moved with an uncanny rhythm to keep up. I could here the rumbling and the wind moving towards us as we ran as fast as we could.

I t seemed like hours or even days, The sound of rushing wind and the ear deafening sound of thunder was getting louder, I could feel the wind picking up behind me. Grip was yelling but I could not here him. All of a sudden there was a small hill in front of us and I could feel Grip pulling the rope even harder. The wind become tremendous and the noise so loud I could not hear. The wind seemed to pick us off the ground when we both fell into a hole. We fell about 20 feet or so and began to roll down and down. I could still hear the wind and the thunder when we rolled through an opening and a large door or so it seemed at the time was closed behind us. All was silent after that.

After what seemed like hours, I turned over and looked up at a torch on the wall. I was disoriented as to where I was but heard voices. As I turned my head I saw Grip talking to a young man. I sat up and felt around for my back pack which was still on my back and I removed it promptly because the pain in my back had been caused by the pack as I had rolled down the hole we had fallen into.

The young man looked over at me and walked over. He said “you are very lucky to be alive”. He then took my hand and helped me up. “My name is Zionbrion, Welcome to our humble home. Grip has told me about you and that Log you carry for our dear brother in the south. He also has told me of the girl you talk about. I shook his hand and another man walked over and introduced himself as YoYoYo. These two young men turned to Grip and asked if he and I would join them around their campfire. “We have food and fresh coffee”. Grip nodded and looked at me, I looked at them and said, “I would be honored”, and may I ask where we have come to”? Another gentleman walked from a different entrance and introduced himself as Ron. You have arrived at the underground road to the coast or as we call them these days, the tunnel of love and understanding.

I loved boats as a kid. Living in a town on a river we could use boats at a young age. We had the freedom usually reserved for older teanagers (UK driving age is 17).

http://raems.com/articles/nessmuk/illp33.png

There's a story in me that belongs on this forum and I think it's bursting out here. vaugely connected with my previous story with my long lost brother. It's my natural grandfather. He was a nasty person according to my aunt, mother and grandma. When I say nasty I mean posh and violent. My natural grandfather was always described as a 'gangster' which was a non british word from films we just didn't use. However it was the only word used to describe him when I asked, and the subject dismissed as if that's all I needed to know.

There are other violent stories about him that I could only describe as ultra-violence. But these were only told once. He wasn't spoken about. Grandma divorced him at the end of the 60's and married the grandpa I grew up with, a wonderful man and an inspiration... kind and brave and honest. A great man, unlike my natural grandfather.

So this links to my brother because of the time mum got pregnant. Her father lured the guy responsible into his clique back at his 'club', as if this guy was ok and had 'made it'. From mums description her father and his 'cronies' then beat the guy up. My brother later told me our natural grandfather had the guy 'proffesionally lynched' and ruined his life. Something mum told my brother. This guy, my brothers natural father, didn't want to connect with my brother later in life (not sure why <-please excuse the snide).

As I got older I learned my violent natural grandfather was general manager of a major british newspaper. This was in the late 1960's. I don't guess about the personalities of tPtutb, I have second hand knowledge of what these people are like from my mother, grandma etc. I like to think this is just an example of a very small percent (but with disproportionate power/wealth).

Oh yeah, my natural grandfather was involved with something that used to be considered a wacky conspiricy theory. Now it's generally accepted as british political history (the only question remaining was MI5 involved? I have no idea). He wasn't the king of it, but he was an underling. I knew this was all fact while people only suspected it as a theory. While that has all come out in the open now, I can never look at so called conspiricy theories the same way again. Nor can I look at the powerful and famous that get accused of violent or nasty behaviour.

Thank you for letting me share this. I didn't know this man, my natural grandfather I'm glad to say. Kindness and putting people first ruled in our family after he was out the picture, which was about three years before I was born.

Good Morning!

Welcome to the fire Ezekiel our new Krishna consciousness friend. Welcome to Avalon as well as a new member.

That story YoYoYo burst off the page! Thanks for sharing. I have a story that is waiting to be told I'm just not prepared to do that at this time. There is a very good reason for that otherwise I'd be shouting it to the world to get some answers.

I was contemplating adding to that information I shared about the Wells Cathedral that Bill reminded Billy of...Should I add it here? I really don't want to start a thread on it. Let me know...it may take about three major posts to complete. Info available and ready for transfer.

In the meantime.... Pilot says: What are you waiting for?

Well haven't had Turkey or chicken for quite awhile. My twinflame and I usually have enchiladas or Meat loaf with mashed potatoes and candied carrots. This becomes a very fun thing to do for both of us to bump around in the kitchen each doing something to make this dinner. You and Shadowself surely will have a great time and feast. Be sure and bake a lot of cookies brother Ha!!

To all around the warm fire, have a very cozy tomorrow. Love to all

More Story about Sila

You see, the tunnel road is well lit and we have runners in between the campfires that line the road from here to the end that will dump you out into a small village called, Here and Now. This village is close to the coast but is set back far enough that the patrol boats can not see it . Folks there make secret trips to the ocean to catch the fish and have never been seen. However, further down the coast is a fishing village that has a port where trade goods come and go. This village is called Wayfair and must be avoided as best as you can. There is a garrison of military police occupying a large building along the water front and they take forays into the forests every day. I do not know if they still do this since the Father Sun and Sister Moon have disappeared. At any rate, you must go inland and south around the coastal village. There will be folk in Here and Now that will guide you to a place well past that evil place. From there you will be on your own once again. Mind you there will few and far between campfires between that place and your destination of Avalon. Now come, we have stew cooking and good drink where we can talk some more and you both can tell us of your adventures and give news of the northern watchers.

Grip walked over to me and said come we must eat and get some peaceful rest. “I suspect we will be talking well into the next 7 hours or so but we can stay here for a few days to get rested for the journey through the tunnels will take us a few weeks from this point. I gathered my pack and walked with Grip into another well lit and very large cavern. The fire was quite big and it looked as it 10 or more folks were sitting around it. The stew smelled delicious and I could also see some kind of biscuits being passed around. As we approached the fire, Zionbrion began to introduce us to the folks. YoYoYo you have met, this young man here is TargeT, he is our main spotter and also the best technology man we have. He has kept our communications up and running although we seemed to have lost contact with all of the northern sectors. This Gentleman you also have met. He is our handyman in making unique useful things that keep us all in as much comfort as possible. Grip shook Ron’s hand and I did the same. Grip looked at Ron and said “your reputation precedes you. We must talk about some ideas I have later. Ron nodded and sat back down. Zionbrion continued, this is Gardener and Sstarss, over here we have fourty-two and Caren. Betoobig is our runner and communes with the other fires on the long road. Over here is Ulli, she is our best in knowing the jungle around us although, with what has just happened, I doubt she will be venturing out at this end for awhile. And this is Rachel one of our teachers in so many things. Grip and I both greeted and shook hands with all sitting around the fire. Ulli offered some bowls and plates and eating utensils and pointed towards the big pot over the second fire. We both filled our bowls and plates and sat down to eat. **

Sila and the Angels

Poochie was so quiet, Sila thought maybe he was just a dream after all. She had been watching the fire and the people for what seemed like hours now. She thought about the angel that had tried to block her way in the path and remembered the dark angels and the good angels that had been in her wonderings in what seemed like years as she followed poochie in the underworld. She had been tormented by the dark angels and comforted by the good angels. She knew that they all emanated light so it was very hard for her to tell the difference between them. Until she learned to let the love fill her heart instead of sorrow and hate for what had happened to poochie she could tell the difference and the torment ceased. She witnessed the dark angels disappearing in there own torment. Until that moment, she was always chasing poochie and he was always barking. When love overtook the hate and sorrow, poochie stopped and she tripped over him. He then came to her and licked her face and snuggled to her. That was when she re-entered the world once again as the young girl she is. Little did she know that poochie followed her although he was still in a wraith form.

As she watched the fire she began to notice the people around it starting to become transparent. Poochie began to whimper and started crawling backwards. Sila started to stand up when poochie jumped up and started to run back the way they came. Sila looked at the campfire and saw the 3 figures become wraith like and they all turned and looked right at her. She knew at that moment that they were the dark angels of the woods. She turned around and began to run as fast as she could right behind poochie. It was at this moment that she heard what sounded like banshee screams. Poochie jumped over some brush and darted off towards the right. She heard the voice of Lionhawk saying “do not leave the path or you will become lost”, she jumped over the brush and caught up with poochie, she wasn’t sure if she could pick him up but decided she could not leave him. She bent down and scooped him up and turned back towards the path. Poochie became relaxed in her arms as she began to skip through puddles of water. She looked to her right for a split second and saw a dark haired beautiful woman waving her on. She continued to skip through the puddles and found herself back at the path. She had to stop to see if the wraiths were still there but found no such thing. She turned on the path the way she had been going and continued to run towards the north only knowing that because she heard that woman’s voice telling her to run that way. ***

One of the most difficult things I've personally found in the telling is most cannot conceive/perceive what we have been through. Perhaps it's difficult for us to perceive it. Many is the time I just wanted to chalk it up to losing my mind. Unfortunately I was not allowed that comfort. I thought if I could find it all imagination/subjective I could do that. As it turned out the more I searched the more I found. I'm speaking of tangible hard evidence.

So what do you do with that tangible hard evidence? The first thing you want to do is tell the world! But you have no voice. Who do you tell? When you do what is the reaction and result?

I've experienced some of that result and it was most assuredly not good. There you are stuck in the middle of something you probably never really bargained for. It has a very ugly side at times. Then all of a sudden you see the beauty of it and wonder how the hell you got here in the first place.

I've experienced GREAT pain in all this and that is all I will share at this moment. I must confess I've also seen and experienced some wonders for which I owe my life. I almost died from somebody's great mistake when I was a child.

So to what do I owe this experience to? That would be time and it's effectual experience be it good or bad. The sound of my own voice tells me that's enough for now. But it's a start.

Thank you Bill & Co. for this safe space to express those experiences. One thing I know for sure....The world is a remarkable place. On this Thanksgiving day I give thanks...It's not hard for me to love you!

Did someone say cookies?

I found these. They smell good. I suggest we cut and paste them to make ample quantity then scoff the lot while reading the story shared below.

[Shadowself]

Now we're talkin! I am so down!....:clapping:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qTIGg3I5y8

[Meggings]

Shadowself wrote "I am so down," at the very minute my daughter left. Now whether or not being "down" means something beyond feeling bereft, sad, and down-hearted, I am not sure (since I've never been clued into current memes, slang, and meanings...)

Here daughter is two days ago, with my grand-daughter on her lap, painting, during her visit after returning from Denmark...maybe I should show her in Denmark too...

32016 32017

How can someone with lovely family be as SAD as I get now and then? It is a mystery to me that I get so "down".

[Lost N Found]

Okay for dinner, Sour Cream and Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Made in a dish and cooked in over for 1 hour. Yum Yum. For Shadowself, here is some more yummy cookies, Lionhawk, you have to make these.

Chocolate mint MMMMMMMMMMM

[Shadowself]

Mmmm...ME want cookie!

But seriously today we have to finish the tree in the back yard which means work! But I want a cookie and I want to PLAY! Whhhaaaaa!

Before I leave to pick up logs and twigs...I want to share something here today.

I've done a lot of talking about Burningman and festivals...I wanted to share this here.

Last year they had this powerful piece of artwork I'd like to share and start a thread for several reasons.

It’s a beautiful work that serves as a testament to how children, despite being relationally immature, are far better at forgiving, and far less inclined to hold lasting grudges. It’s in their nature to make peace. It should be in ours too.

32048

While the Burning Man probably hasn’t garnered the greatest reputation in recent years, with several tragedies occurring on its grounds, it still has its redeeming qualities.

Easily one of the most inspiring parts of the iconic festival is its display of artistic expression. Sculptures, paintings, exhibits, choreographed performance – all are present. And each year, the collection is awe inspiring. Well this year, there was one in particular that captivated attendees, and it’s no mystery why.

Made by Ukrainian sculptor Alexander Milov, the sculpture called “Love” features two wire-frame adults sitting back to back, visibly at odds with each other…

The other portion of the piece depicts two children inside the adults, reaching out to each other in a desire for resolution.

32049

Milov had this to say about the poignant sculpture on Burning Man’s website, “It demonstrates a conflict between a man and a woman as well as the outer and inner expression of human nature. Their inner selves are executed in the form of transparent children, who are holding out their hands through the grating.”


At night the children light up, making for an even more captivating depiction. But as you could imagine, there’s significance to that as well.

32050

“As it’s getting dark (night falls) the children chart to shine. This shining is a symbol of purity and sincerity that brings people together and gives a chance of making up when the dark time arrives.”


How true it is in the human nature eh? That inner child screaming to get out all the while striving to be adult.

Ahhhh yes that inner child! Remember when you were a child? The games you liked to play? Most usually those games has some meaning toward your past life experience. You were more open to the experience as a child. Through the development of genetic repose...soon most forget. Lionhawk touched upon this didn't he?



I'm reminded of a song of course...you know I can't leave a post without one!

How's your inner child today? Does it want to come out and play? Are you going to let it?

My inner child was out when I was making those Buster videos that's for certain!

Have a great day! And remember to try to walk a mile in someones shoes before you judge eh?

oh btw...You guys rock! Can I have a cookie now?

How about this recipie (http://www.averiecooks.com/2015/09/soft-and-chewy-pumpkin-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies.html)? They had some great pictures of cookies



...
How can someone with lovely family be as SAD as I get now and then? It is a mystery to me that I get so "down".

I can't shake the feeling this quote fits somewhere as an answer. The feeling might be me projecting outwards though, and it might only fit for me. Thought I'd risk it for a biscuit just in case ;)



...
So what do you do with that tangible hard evidence? The first thing you want to do is tell the world! But you have no voice. Who do you tell? When you do what is the reaction and result?
...

The "Your Inner Child" art caught me too thanks for the share. Also finding "In Lieu of Beer" is memorable, it's really good.

[Shadowself]

Also finding "In Lieu of Beer" is memorable, it's really good.

I couldn't agree more! :highfive:

A holiday offering from a file of past-memories....


The Lion Of Oz

In an affirmed effort to periodically re-tune my consciousness, I occasionally visit the Lion of Oz. It had seemed to me, I’d been regularly visiting the ol’ Lion most of my life, but it wasn’t until the fall of ’76 that I was actually able to recall our visitations.

You see, it was in that particular fall I met him face-to-face at a Halloween party, orchestrated in a military surplus barracks tent; deep in a forest, lost in the Appalachian Mountains. I might also point-out ~ for the sake of the foundational record ~ that particular fall was well after the ol’boy had found his missing heart.

So, it’s been more than thirty years, now, since I’ve been making my sometimes annual, sometimes monthly, sometimes weekly treks up the mountain to make my obligatory soul checking appointment.

I can’t begin to tell you ~ in just a few short words ~ the insights I’ve gained into the nature of reality during these sessions. I’m here to affirm, however, we have pretty much covered the full gamut of three dimensional reality and much of hyper-dimensional reality as well.

It’s been through my relationship with the ol’Lion that I’ve come to realize, for instance, hyper-dimensionally, all time is simultaneously happening at any given moment…. And, that the three dimensional reality we all perceive is molded by the Mass Consciousness of its particular time.

You might say, it was on that fateful Halloween night , so many decades ago, that I began the practice of looking under the rocks, behind the silver coating of the mirrors, and through the smoke as I travel down this path of my own personal reality.

Had I not maintained a regularly scheduled program of consciousness checking sessions it may have taken me much longer ~ perhaps several lifetimes longer ~ to discover all is not what it seems. And, as we all know, we may not have the luxury of many more lifetimes.

I mean, it should be abundantly clear to all concerned, the current contract is up, and that any further required spinning of the old Wheel of Fortune shall require a complete re-negotiation of the terms of the agreement.

As to the present circumstances, all I can address regarding the issue of Mass Consciousness manipulation is that I definitely DO NOT want to be invited back to this party.

Soooooo, as you can imagine, it wasn’t with too much surprised, the ol’Lion advised me to pray to God on a regular basis for assistance in becoming invisible during our latest scheduled session.

I had noticed, during my approach to his lair, the old boy was nearly invisible himself. I’d no sooner gotten past the outer gate when he growled, “it would do you well to ask for help in becoming invisible”.

So we spent the remainder of that visit eating fresh vegetables from the garden and discussing the attributes of totally disappearing in times like these. As you may have already noticed, I, myself can hardly be seen.

As a footnote to this dissertation, I’d like to point-out, should the need to rematerialize ever reoccur, it will definitely not be in a reality where one segment of any species feeds on another.

Need I even state, this shall include any blood-sucking insects including green head flies and tics. And, of course, any species that would feed on the infant of its’ own kind, or another species, such as any reptilian banker might.

Now ~ mind you ~ that’s my own personal take on this Mass Consciousness Reality thing. You’ve been granted the free will to choose whatever reality suits your own personal circumstances.

Appropriate posts above, all of them 'twixt the above mine and this current mine.

I've been working with this inner child since coming to a grinding halt in my life at the moment, seeing lack of love.

The most important relationship in creation, that between mother and child - between conscious mind and subconscious mind.
Here is Dr. Hew Len helping us go inside and love ourselves.

Yes! Thanks so much.

I am sure many of us saw family around Thanksgiving.

The day of Thanksgiving I spoke to my brother Johnny. He had taken my old laptop home to Missouri and healed it. He took may of his CDs and loaded them onto the hard drive and it had arrived in time for my gratitude on a day that is about our blessings.

That morning I went to the high school where the Good Samaritans hold a community Thanksgiving. The food is delicious. The meal is free to all who come and many who are home bound have meals taken to them and many take to go plates. This year what I saw was many people volunteering to get the food ready all having fun in plastic aprons, caps and gloves like I wear at the deli.

I was part of getting the dining room ready. The tables were all ready set with place mats that the grammar school decorated. I saw the hand print turkeys and remembered when I made hand print turkeys. All I did was make some little tent message place cards. "Ask for icecream!" and some to encourage people to comment.Then I was at the volunteer sign in for a bit.

One teenage girl Katie was there after spending the night in jail because she had run away and got in some trouble. Her mother brought her direct from jail.She did not talk much but was seeming to be actually happy through her tiredness and then she went to a corner and slept awhile.

I stayed until 11:30 and came home with a to go box.

I took Megan for a walk.t was a perfect warm day. We lay out on the grass and then when we walked on the street to home, the most miraculous sight appeared. Wild turkeys were in a flock walking right in front of my house. Of course Megan was on high alert but when I asked her to stay, she did not chase.

The turkeys saw us and FLEW away over my house. Yes, they flew hard and high and fast. I have never seen this before from my own yard. In fact I never see Turkeys near my house.

I had to be at work at 2PM but when I went to start the truck, the battery had died because I left the headlights on.

I waited for the emergency service. The man who came has also been to may house before when I locked keys in the truck. His name is Brian. he is an exuberantly friendly person, about 6 foot two maybe and muscular. He told me a story that made me weep.

He told me that he was in special ops in the military for many years. He served in Afghanistan 12 years.

In the time of Jimmy Carter, a serviceman had been imprisoned and 11 years later,in 1991 Brian had been part of a group liberating the ones who were released. He told me one man he had helped was only 60 pounds when he was released. He was an artist. While in prison, he kept a bit of bread each time he was given bread. He sculpted a bust of Khomeini and had it in his hand on release...it was very small.

Three years ago Brian was in prison for many days days and tortured including having his elbows broken in Yemen. He showed me a picture on his phone from after his release and the painting his daughter made for him after his release that said "Don't Sink". It looked like a family crest with that kind of border.

He now seems very healthy but the old picture brought tears that people suffer these events for whatever reason. Brian told me that he and his family moved to my area and he bought a wrecker tow service. One day a man came to his shop and Brian saw that THIS was the man he had rescued. He told me the name and a book about him but I forgot as I was very emotionally caught up. The man did not recognize him (brian thought) but was drawn to come back several times and visit and on Thanksgiving, just before Brian came to help me, he had been invited to the man's house.

There, the 83 year old gentleman lives with his third wife. He paints and sculpts and the art work was all over. In a small case there is the sculpture he made in bread. Brian went to it and looked at it for a long time. The gentleman who made it came upand called him "Big Boy" which is what he called him in 1991 when he was released into Brian's care.

The man said" It was your eyes". then he made a cryptic statement, you learn to see many things when in the dark".

I was weeping copious amounts in honor for their survival and the now thriving they have managed. I feel honor for courage!!!! I cannot judge what the means are to tap in to courage that people attract. I don't want to be told how I should show my convictions But I just do not understand war is any good for humans to prove themselves.

Brian said to me "I just needed to tell someone but I am sorry I upset you".
I was tearful and sensitive but it was a good crying and kind of out of my control. To be included in this stary of their acknowledgement was intensely strange. It had just happened and for me it seemed something I need to think back on later maybe...?

I went to work where it was surreal to be pulling turkey apart and managing the salad bar. Several people were getting Thanksgiving meals from the hot bar and I wished it was as delicious as the Community Thanksgiving meal. In general, at work, I am always being reminded that I love to handle food. I always like to put sparkles as nourishment on the food, even if I think an ideal is not there in this deli.

Brian invited me to call him if I want to talk. he is very friendly and I want to meet his wife Heidi. I do think the day was full of the Thanks giving I wanted it to hold.

[Joe Sustaire]

Such beautiful stories on here! I thank you for sharing and including me around your campfire.

My son Steve and I had a beautiful and quiet thanksgiving back here in the woods. My granddaughter and family were supposed to come up, but the rains came and the creek was up so they couldn't make it. We made the traditional thanksgiving dinner, which turned out great, gave thanks that we had Patty, (the best wife and mom ever) in our lives, feasted, and cried, and honored the magic of life and love.

Steve has moved here to live with me now back in the woods, to heal and to grow, to continue down our path, we will carry on.......

Thanks all......

[Lost N Found]

The fire is very warm this morning.

Meggings, your family is totally beautiful, Three generations together, I believe your daughter follows in your footsteps of all that positive stuff you have done in your life. Granddaughter doing same. If we all could be together to hold when the sadness takes hold that would be wonderful in the physical, but here we are in this virtual village to reach out.

Shadowself, when I first saw the "Child within sculpture It blew me away. Thank you so much for post that. Your tellings will flow as they do Patients brings knowledge and healing.

What a great thing you have done Lionhawk. The music from all those pages tells and tags to stories told around the fire. Healing comes through with and one can see the folks so much deeper. Thank you brother for doing that.

Delight, your most recent story above is like a healing and a wonderful thanks giving to you. Looks as if you have found folks in the physical realm right there that will sit around a campfire and share life. Thank you so much for what you give to us.

Joe, you and your son are finding so much more in life now. Can see that clearly. Thanks for sharing. I am sure that you will be seeing your family, creeks come and flow.

[Lionhawk]

Greetings everyone. Just wanted to thank everyone for making this out to be a great thread. Couldn't have done it without you!

Good news and some bad. I have posted all the music and video links for the last 39 pages, on page 39. The good news is what I posted there works. The bad news is we had some video links that got censored or blocked. Copywrite issues they claim. About a dozen I think. Pink Floyd, Matrix Cow, Steely Dan, to name a few. I put this list together because there is a lot of good stuff in it.

Please also keep in mind that there was a lot of great artwork from those that are extremely good at what they do. We touched on Poetry, UFOs, ghosts, crop circles, human comfort issues, joy, and bliss. Even cookies. :facepalm: Don't forget the first hand stories.

I guess what I appreciate the most is what folks bring to the campfire here. A whole lot a love. :heart:

Again, many thanks to all of you for the blessings you bring here! :clapping:

Beautiful, Ya'll. Thanks for sharing.

By the way, our only cat came back after a 7 month sabbatical. The thread with all of the cats and pics of plain funny stuff was very timely, Running Deer. Thanks!

We live in an area of the states where many don't care or take care of the animals around, so it's a dog's world here. A cat surviving for any length of time is very rare. This is the 2nd of our long living and constantly loving cats we've served here, along with all of the dogs we have rescued in these many years. Our dog was as happy to see his friend as we are.

When I moved back to my home town on the Jersey Cape, the Lion picked-up stakes and moved close-by. We used to have sweatlodge rituals on the full moon that always involved a bonfire, going far into the night. The ol'Lion has since moved to Tennessee, and I miss him greatly.

Jim, another good childhood friend, who had synchronistically ended-up living in close proximity at several locations around this vast country, after his return to the Cape, would often come to the fire as well. Now, Jim was quite the reminiscer, and could remember predicaments we had gotten into throughout our common pilgrimages with amazing accuracy.

Jim was also quite a fan of Kurt Vonnegut, and bore a striking resemblance to the man. When Vonnegut passed away in '07, I wrote the following essay to amuse my friend Jim. I recall he was quite amused.

Jim passed-away a few years ago, so I'm posting this as a tribute to our friendship - with the holidays coming upon us:


"News Flash: Kilgore Trout is Dead"

It's been some time now, and I can't remember exactly where I was on April 11, 2007 when someone told me the news. I do recall staring at the individual with a cold calculated look predominantly through my right eye. I bit my tongue as he recounted the details of the tragedy, with the knowledge I had just left Kilgore safely suspended from a hanger in a closet in the mobile home where I now reside....

Of course, I’m not making the claim ol'Kilgore was still alive when I left him. No.... being his longest living friend, he had bequeathed to me his full and complete suit of skin. Which I can now proudly wear any time I'm in the mood.

We had spent many a happy times together throughout time, ol'Kilgore and myself, having shared a flat, on-and-off, since early adulthood. I, being a master trim carpenter, had many things in common with him. He, being an expert aluminum replacement storm and screen window technician.

I would have to say his most valuable asset to our relationship was his ability to access obscure dimensions of what one might describe as the matrix of my multi-dimensional brain. You see, although, throughout the years of our friendship, I had definitely participated in many diverse situations in his companionship, he seemed to be the only individual in the friendship that was able to spark even the slightest recollection of those incidents. They all having occurred in another time, ya understand.

As he would explain it, inter-dimensional travel is merely the ability to seek, discover, and penetrate hyper-dimensional portals. He would tell you, travel in three dimensional space is nothing more than traversing a line between two points, time equaling the distance one must travel between those two points.

What my good buddy Kilgore was a master of, was discovering those hyper-dimensional portals. He would say it was nothing more than being able to fold the flat plane those two dots were lying-on and let them touch each other.... like folding a piece of paper. You know, something like if one were able to summon enough power to turn it all up one dimension.

But, Man!!! When those dots touched it was akin to having some kind of cosmic orgasm! I recall the feeling that would wash over my body each time my good ol' buddy Kilgore would spark one of those memories. I must say, it was like a thorough melding.

It took a long time before I could finely talk about it. Feelings of emotion still well-up within me any time I have to speak of ol'Kilgore. I wasn't sure if the suit would work at first, either. But leave it to the old codger himself, every time I put the dang thing on, I have almost total recall.

I'm living comfortably now out behind the local WalMart where I'm currently employed as a "greeter", my ability to get down on my knees and perform any trim carpentry tasks having long faded into some past memory. A memory, may I point out, that is now totally accessible through the use of good-ol'Kilgor's skin suit. My carpenter's knees, of course, having long ago been ruined, pleading to the God of the Universe for mercy from whatever indiscretion I may, or may not have been guilty of.

So you see, thanks to that ol'suit, I'm now able to sit around in my "quality time" and enjoy some of those memories for which I seem to be receiving unrelenting punishment from the universe. I think we'd all agree, isn't it all just a cleansing process!?

As ol'Kilgore would put it, "You were sick, but now you are well again. And there's work to be done."

Love It, Observer! Yep, Lots of fun work to be done. Shirts, Skins and Tanktops......

[Beren]

I welcome any new folks over here at the fire...talking stick I will take now and state that fire is big and many a soul sit here in silence listening the sparks and air around it, feeling what other soul bring out to the gathering.

Thank you Lionhawk for Thanksgiving note...
Here and now I am transferring sacred Love in that past when thanksgiving was a bloody orgy for the natives and a blasphemy towards God from the very people who called themselves pure...
They were pure in committing murder and shedding blood.
But...here I am using the privilege of a soul in contact with Creator to travel through time and leave Love and sacred dust of life to the suffering then and there.

We all can do this brothers and sisters. We affect events in past, now and future.
So I send the love, to clean the wounds of the soul.
Bodies are gone but memories of those who died aren`t.

So here and now let us remember them and connect our love and sacred fire to their souls wherever they may be now.
Also send the same to the ones who took the role of murderers. They were mislead badly. And they realized this when they left this world thus many returned as natives or others to help aid the rift and heal.

I can share here that few months ago I`ve seen and met this wonderful shaman woman in MA and we worked together on understanding and healing. I went in spirit into the time before the mass arrival of Europeans both English and Spanish. My twin flame and me stood hugged on the field, near the edge where there was a ceremony of shamans and elders.

They sat in peace and silence and then they saw us, were surprised positively. Then we mutually understood as one of the holy men explained, they felt in spirit that change shall come to their lands and lots of death. But they felt it was meant to be as a spiritual evolution of native people and all.
They knew they will shed unnumbered tears and the land will be soaked with blood. But they also knew it was a time for a change in a larger scale and a great lesson and event from the soul perspective was about to unfold in next few centuries. They knew this would trigger the final victory over darkness.

When the mass conscience would emerge in the holy light one day. Like in game of chess, sometimes you sacrifice your forces in order to win the game, that is happening only and I repeat only if you see the larger picture.

They`ve seen it. They knew what was coming but couldn`t explain this to the people of their time. How can you explain that out of horror a hope will emerge?
How to tell the mother that their babies will burn and die?
How to tell, how to act?

They were seeing through eyes of the spirit in the high place but down there it was invisible...

Every single life was saved through soul means in higher plane. Every tear recorded and saved for blossom.

Even now while I write this to all of you dear souls, I see the face of that elder looking at me with silent hope and love.
I send it to him as well.

I share this over our fire so that it can go into the field of life, field of consciousness, morphogenetic field of all life. That lines would be connected again.
That love strengthen all with new understanding and new spark.

His hope is that Love prevails.


Let it be so.

Thank you Beren, that was beautiful and heart-warming!
And a very fine flame that log sends up......

Hello beautiful people, I haven't read anything around the fire, I have been at a cabin with my family the past 7 days. my mothers kids have shaped so much of who I am so I wanted to share a music video of her daughter from hempfest over 10 years ago

[Lionhawk]

Thank-you Beren! You do us proud! Here's a brother from Serbia who moves to USA and demonstrates what being connected is all about. :bigsmile: And what you have come to know is spot on.

There is no doubt that our true Mother in this timeline is Gaia. And the real separation of all it's peoples is by how we honor the connection to the Planet. The ones that are not connected use every trick in the book to hijack that connection from you, by whatever means they deem. Race cards, famine, war, ect....... This agenda is not really a white man's agenda. It is made to look that way because they delivered this agenda through the white man.

For years I struggled with the question as to how were they able to do this? Without being caught. They being the darkside, the Luciferians and the Draconian factions. As I discovered they had hijacked the Crystal Kingdom and were using this Kingdom to transmit the frequencies to conquer and enslave this world. So here they are transmitting from the lower fourth through the second dimension into the third using the Crystal Kingdom as the transmitting medium. They used a back door and that is why no one saw where it was coming from. It, being their agenda.

Keep in mind when I speak of connection, it is not just to this Planet. But it is, while we are in this physical form, the immediate connection point. Without your grounding connection to the planet, you would not be alive. From there a grounding plane is established and then you become a transceiver. Meaning a receiver and transmitter of frequencies. This is where your real power lies. Your intentions in a focused purpose. That is why we can change our reality. Why we can create what we want.

It is basic electronic principles. Most electrical problems across the board are due to grounding issues. In this physical form we are electrical. So if your grounding is not correct, your actions will manifest that. The results will always come up short of your intentions. That is why proper grounding is so important. Folks that have the proper grounding are so much more reverent to our home planet and know in living form that everything is connected and thereby can see with the eyes of a child.

When you see with the eyes of a child, you will see the real truth. Without the propaganda. It will also be your truth. Discovered in the firsthand. That trumps the secondhand every time. With the eyes of a child your perception will not be influenced by your own ego or your rational mind, simply because you will be fully seated in your heart. Always remember that your heart never lies.

So with that, I leave this video that Shadowself turned me onto. It made the creeks on my face overfill. We are all Earth natives here, no matter what race, color, size, or whatever. She is our living home that is also a ship traveling through millions of miles of the cosmic womb. Some of us are guardians of her employ. Serve her well and you will serve all the Kingdoms here and abroad.

Thanks, Lionhawk. Thank you for including Trudell and Russell also. It would be healthy for anyone to study native, indigenous history and it's vast modern expressions, as well as the darkness that exists in many of those communities.

Many year ago I attended a sweat with Ernie Peters, a spiritual leader within the A.I.M. movement, and after a very painful and amazing experience, as well as 6 months of previously unsuccessful efforts trying to become appointed as my older(1 of 4) brother's conservator (to free him from a lock-down mental facility) i was greeted with a morning call from a judge granting me custody. My brother hasn't been institutionalized since. I was grateful for the help Ernie gave that allowed me the time and space to pay the price. It is a story worth telling someday. It couldn't have happened without being there on the Earth, in that place inside, made sacred by powerful intention and grace, as well as Ernie's talk to us, under the bows and blankets, about the power of forgiveness.

[Lost N Found]

Dear brother Lionhawk, your telling is energy rejuvenation. The connections we all reach into continue to build our hearts and spread the love deeper and wider. The videos are heart rendering. I have listened to Russel Means for quite awhile and I have cried for the dear man.

Our brothers Observer and Beren and Zionbrion have shared a wonderful connection to us all and it is just truly great to see them around this campfire.

I have one more video with the eyes of a child to share.

I appreciate the post from Beren and now you very much!!!

John Trudell is one of my heroes.

I have a vision at the moment for me of what is important.

The other day I was talking with my friend Angela. She mentioned that before the "white man"came along, the nations of all the North America and South America were separated by warring. She suggested that maybe if they could have been unified, it would have been easier to repel the settling and repulse the commerce that infiltrated.

That had me thinking because IMO, it is the warring itself that has been the strategy since catyclyclsm broke our mind? If we truly felt the brotherhood/sisterhood of all our relations, IMO war would make no sense.

So what I am thinking about is the blame-lessness on all sides that I am focused on. This sense that we are learning something, recovering, changing our minds as part of a grand play makes me smile.

I love John Trudell because he IMO has the real spirit that the native American tribes had some what lost themselves before. It does not bother me to think that we have "devolved" form the high state of being connected. Why this is so is my own myth.

We were always meant to challenge ourselves... not necessarily improve but prove what is really true about ourselves in the now.

This means to me that if I am a warrior, I cannot pretend to be a pacifist but am here to deal with a part of my character. Perhaps it does have tendencies from over and beyond the present "life" Maybe many multiple expressions are at play. I love the fact that I have embraced that being "child-like" is an aim...seeing the play in the world. Choosing one's way of playing.

IMO it is about relations- ship. All ore relations interact in particular ways because of how we are being. It gets so deep and so satisfying to contemplate that I am a human being and I am learning real deep and nourishing loving. I identify with human beings.

Well...its 3:40am and I cant sleep...

I ate alot of junk food today, and now its haunting me. After I quickly shifted positions in bed, I regurgitated this pukey stomach acid that is so hot it caused my eyes to tear. This was 20 mins ago. Now I have this residual burning, barfy taste in my mouth that won't go away. Currently im sitting on fhe edge of my bed, spitting this liquid fire into a waste basket. It wouldnt shock me in any way if this sh!t burnt a hole to China ( for any flat earthers out there i'll rephrase: it wouldnt shock me in any way if this sh!t burnt a hole to the other side of this god forsaken pancake planet).

I hope you all are faring much better...

I keep Zantac in the house for those bad heartburn nights. If you don't have any here's two other ideas: Bragg's apple cider vinegar or Arm & Hammer baking soda. For the vinegar, mix 4 T in a couple of ounces of water. It's been awhile for the baking soda. Try a teaspoon in about a 1/2c of water. xo

Loved the flat earth pancake hole image. Got me to chuckle, so, yes, Im faring better now thanks to your humor.
When I was in the worst and final stages of labor I was cracking jokes, too.

I always wondered about that...how suffering can trigger one's comedic talents.

I too have been a long supporter of John Trudell's work, see here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?48662-American-Indian-John-Trudell-on-the-word---HOPE--&p=539492&viewfull=1#post539492), and here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?48662-American-Indian-John-Trudell-on-the-word---HOPE--&p=544517&viewfull=1#post544517).

If you go to around the four minute mark of the Trudell video that Delight posted, below, you will hear John begin talking about an "energy-feeding/mining-process".

This feeding/mining-process is not limited to the "global industrialists", as John describes them. This mining-process goes into other-dimensional-domains through the continuous ritualistic practices of those global elite. A ritualistic practice designed to gain and hold power through the influences of other dimensional entities.

Knowing how this feeding/mining-process is working on our intelligence/consciousness, is not about creating-a-boogieman to blame, just as John doesn't blame those "global industrialists" in his lecture. The knowledge is about understanding a process that has been hidden from the Mass Consciousness of Humanity since this holographic-free-will-game began.

Using this knowledge correctly is all about, "showing respect to our Spiritual Creator in a healthy, clear, coherent, and respectful way"

I'm really enjoying these John Trudell vids, hadn't discovered him before. Thanks everyone!

[Meggings]

Hi friends, does anyone know how to restore sound to videos? I am missing Trudell and the songs posted in this thread because of no sound on video, and it is a royal pain. Figured I could do without the music, but the Trudell ones are like the straw that broke the camel's back...I'd like to hear them. I use firefox on windows 7, it was always freezing because of "flash" (?), I poked around and somewhere unremembered I unplugged some firefox plugin. That stopped the computer freezing (sort of), but gave me no sound, and I cannot figure out what I unplugged.... Is there anyone reading this thread who might be willing to hold my hand (back-and-forth messages) as I try to restore sound? I have no phone, and no assistance in this, and I'd really like to get back to being able to hear youtubes.

And get back to contributing more to this thread. Because of the native indian theme recently I began thinking of U.S. Grant who tried to ameliorate the indian situation as best he could (he was also ameliorating the backlash against negroes with his 15th amendment)...but the upshot was that I found myself two nights ago remote viewing on a timeline and gosh-darn if I did not see Grant at the end of his life. I was stunned to see him sitting on a porch, wrapped in a blanket, and straightening up, leaning back, in obvious pain. I recognized him. Go figure.

I'm a Mac dudette, so I can't help with windows. Some alternatives that come to mind are: 1) upgrade your firefox browser 2) use/dowload a different browswer such as Safari 3) download the videos using a free software from aimersoft.com (http://www.aimersoft.com).

Good luck. :wave:

“…Then, Max introduces us to an absolutely fascinating lady, Samantha Bachman, who shares with us all a story that will blow your mind.
Samantha started to get marks on her body, not dissimilar to those we see in crop circle formations. Add to this an “aport” – an object that materializes on in this reality from another dimension – of a wooden arrow & a metal washer on it, and we have the beginnings of a story that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Not Woo enough? Oh trust me, once she ties in an ancient prophecy from Nostradamus relating not only to her experience, but to up to 900 women around the world and how it all ties into apocalyptic events coming out way, we think you will be suitably wooed lol”

Ulli, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall while you were.cracking those jokes:sun:

For me, in general, and maybe for you in that scenario it could have been a nervous response. I prefer to laugh and joke a great deal of the time, but I have found myself laughing almost hyterically in I guess what youd call inappropriate or odd moments...

When i found out my close friend had passed a couple years back i initially fell into hysterics...I was laughing and giggling like some sort of madman. It all dissolved into sobs moments later, but.still...it disturbed me that I reacted that way. I didnt find his death to be funny in any way...so where did this laughter come from? I.dont.know...

I got jumped about 5 years ago. I was sucker punched initially, and as I was laying there seeing birdies, I recall vaguely thinking "this guy is good!". See, I couldnt fend him off. Well, when I could eventually see straight I realized there was 3 of them.;) ..so that explained that, but it was hardly reassuring. Anyway, if a spectator.didnt know any better they might have thought I was having.the time of my life, as I couldnt stop laughing thru the whole thing. This wasnt some brave, defiant laughter either - I was scared sh!tless. It was some visceral, raw instinctive thing...like a dog barking or something. Im not a masochist, so I cant quite figure it out...

I could give you dozens of examples like these. My brother famously said that if I were sprayed with bullets id likely be laughing and joking till I took my last breath. Maybe hes right. I find this world to be an absurd thing..all I can do is laugh at it

It’s a natural coping mechanism. Fortunately, the body innately knows what’s critical to its survival. We all have our unique ways to deal with it. Too, the severity of the cause dictates the level of intensity.

Often people laugh and make jokes in uncomfortable situations. It’s a way to diffuse excess emotions for themselves and possibly what they pick up from the group energy. Though, they may be unaware of their part in the dynamic play.

Hi friends, does anyone know how to restore sound to videos? I am missing Trudell and the songs posted in this thread because of no sound on video, and it is a royal pain. Figured I could do without the music, but the Trudell ones are like the straw that broke the camel's back...I'd like to hear them. I use firefox on windows 7, it was always freezing because of "flash" (?), I poked around and somewhere unremembered I unplugged some firefox plugin. That stopped the computer freezing (sort of), but gave me no sound, and I cannot figure out what I unplugged.... Is there anyone reading this thread who might be willing to hold my hand (back-and-forth messages) as I try to restore sound? I have no phone, and no assistance in this, and I'd really like to get back to being able to hear youtubes.

...

Hmm really could be alot of things. Could be your computer is overburdened, or could be flash temp files, or something else, or any combination.

CCleaner is a tool that might fix some typical causes, however be carefull because while *mostly harmless* CCleaner cleans to the extent of removing stored passwords making it so you have to type them in again when you go to your websites. There are ways to prevent this but I will start with it's default behaviour for simplicity.

If you're ok with having to retype your internet passwords in again when you go to all your forums etc, then I recomend CCleaner. Especially useful at this point is ones main email password, typically the place all other 'password reset requests' go.

However it's no guarantee but my best guess. I googled "windows why does flash sound stop working with video" and the top site (http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flash_sound_problems.htm) agrees with me which always makes me nervous.

Hope this helps, but it is a guess

I am in a melancholy mood today. However, Mike did give me a laugh with the whole burning through the flat earth. I am just sad, I miss Selkie.

This song came to mind. It is for all of us I feel to touch and connect to those that wonder on this earth in pain of past experiences. We can do nothing but hold and give our total love to each other. I know dear Jill left in a whirlwind of pain and that showed so much with the anger and projection but that women needed so much love to overcome the damaged caused in the past. I'm just living the sadness today.

Love to all and sweet dreams tonight.

That's very understanding and forgiving. The lows come it's ok in my world. I like this for those blues.

[Ezekiel]

32141
-
I wonder if souls are sometimes deprived of sustenance to such an extent
that - as flowers that fail and die - their incarnation fails in life… which then
results in an imprisoned spirit trapped in an earthbound vessel or perhaps the
essence leaves - realises the futile nature of such a visitation - exits the avatar
- which then remains a shell of dire emptiness : a residual physical automaton
fled of its once bright potential… a wasted revenant extant - or vampiric husk…

… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtlV57yspn8)



†

32137

After the spirit escapes…

|

Its wake is the shape the devil…

A kind of demon almost - a drone of faded possibilities...

32135
-
From what…? A spirit descends to the earth with the intention to learn…
though perhaps via slight error lands amidst a vale of impenetrable woe…

poisoned toxic land without strength to support life

whilst other fortunate souls achieve vast reinventions of self -
and live kind lives of infinite discoveries : such as that paradise
secreted within self in divine sparks of imperishable solace…

32136

If the purpose is to know… - in this experiential theatre;
then what of those whose lives are wasted beyond a
scope of repair… defeated entire… wretchified into
villains for whom love has escaped this quiet world…

Are their quests then reformed so as to serve as evil markers…

vacuous animate signs that warn :


- Travellers Beware -

Renounceth thine eden if thou wouldst
venture into as vile a realm as this…

I stumbled across a song a few days ago, it reminded me of someone I know, who lost so much a few years ago.
For some odd reason I found this song playing in the background of my mind just now... teasing for notice at the edge of my attention.

When it finally registered in my awareness, all I could make out was " it out loud, it clear " LOL

I did a search with just those words, search engines are amazing. It brought me straight up to the song I was inwardly hearing.

uGDA0Hecw1k

Often times, in my stillness I hear faint conversations, as if from a far away distance.
When this happened this afternoon, the word I clearly heard was "quickening".

I came here to post this synchronous song, and then I saw and read Ezekiel's post above, feeling the essence of poetic yearning.

Do our hearts reach out to each other, answering each other in the golden silence our heart's desire, living a full life just beyond our conscious awareness?

It's never too late, for the Living years. Ever ...

Edit add, 4 December 2015, 09.27: just found this, it's an interesting back story to the song (http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jan/25/mike-rutherford-precious-living-years-father)

[Hym]

Edina, Just 3 seconds ago....when I was prompted to find this thread, woven with the golden strands of awareness....

I was thinking this same thing, after a post i made earlier, of what i left out in talking to my friends here on Avalon, friends who are a bit older, have lived a lot and whose vibrance and love I can't help but hear as a very beautiful and loud chorus....... You are not just needed my Friends, You are Wanted...

It's never too late, for the Living Years......Ever......In This Constant Presence

[Lost N Found]

Edina, what a great song, thank you for posting that. It brought back long ago memories for me today. Wonderful. Hey it's me you are spot on with "It's never too late, for the living years.....Ever.....In This Constant Presence". I have seen in my time, people that give up at times and that seems to place one in a downward spiral where everything is always negative and all things just go badly, Is that called Karma? I don't know for sure but shoot, I have been in that place myself in Life. My first experience where I just wanted to and then gave up was when I was 20 I believe and right smack dab in the middle of the Vietnam War. Not sure what post I put something in but it is here around this fire that I was able to talk about that somewhat. That is when "Never to Late" smacked me up along side the head. So did not give up as I thought but moved on.

The major second time that I almost gave up but fought it, was when I got sick with diabetes. I was only 25 years young at the time and thought that might be the end of my life. Well another big knock on the noggin and stood up and took total responsibility of life. Hey here I am today still moving on and knowing it is never to late to do anything in life. I believe Shadowself coined a phrase about we can do anything if we just set our minds to it. Her parents told he that and my parents did the same thing for me. So that always flows to the surface when things look like hell around me. Well the year I got sick with diabetes, I also shot myself in the leg, Man did that hurt. But by that time, I just had to laugh and keep on moving.

Just a short story of that incident, I had an old 3 screw ruger pistol that my brother had messed around with while I was in Vietnam. My Dad had kept it and when I finally showed back up after getting diabetes I went with my parents one weekend to visit my Grandparents. They lived on a ranch down south. Anyway, I decided I wanted to go rabbit hunting and struck out from the ranch house walking. Got about 2 miles out and decided to shoot the pistol. Took one shot and put it back in the holster. decided to go back and started walking. climbed a boulder and while doing that went though some brush. something caught the hammer on the pistol and pulled it back far enough to spin the cylinder. So guess what that did? got to the other side of boulder and jumped down. Hit the ground and BAM the pistol went off and knocked me on my butt. Here is the moving forward as always bit, Got right up and walked about 100 yards before my mind caught up with my legs. Sat down and pulled my pants down to see what had happened, No blood mind you just a burnt hole. Passed out and then woke up and walked the rest of the way to the ranch house. By that time leg was burning and hurting very badly but just kept on moving till got home. So 1975 was a very nasty year for me but just kept on moving. "It's never to Late"

We all have our moments in life and those certainly are major changing situations but it looked and felt as being a reason and or a purpose that is how we grow and learn. When I turn 300 I will look back at this time period and remember the learning and growth.

Thank you so much
Love to all
Steven

[edina]

Lost N Found, I smiled the whole time I read your post!

You've lived quite a lot of experiences in your life, I love your statement, "when I turn 300" ( :) )

When I was in the Air Force I noticed how powerful "attitude" is. Your attitude is Awesome!!!!

Sometimes, people can get discouraged, and understandably so ... it's not always easy.

Perspective and encouragement are right along there with "grit" as qualities that make for great character in a person.

Often times, it's life experiences that didn't go the way we may have hoped that develop perspective and character. It all depends on how we respond.

Sharing our stories with each other helps, when we lose perspective and get discouraged, others can help us regain our equilibrium, our perspective, and encourage us, just by being present when we speak.

I watched "Spotlight" this afternoon. There is just so much that happens in this story. It is an important movie. And a Powerful one, too.

Zg5zSVxx9JM

This is a powerful story of how 4 investigative reporters with the Boston Globe stayed the course against significant odds, they just hunkered down and did the non-glamourous gritty work of digging deeper and deeper into truth behind the molesting and abuse of children in the Boston area. And as a result broke a story for the whole world.

FOUR PEOPLE. FOUR Dedicated and Committed People, who also knew how to do their job.

It's very enlightening, and educational as to the process of doing that sort of work. I think there has been some talk of Academy Award nominations?

This is something I want to think deeper on. Has anyone else here seen this movie yet?

[Lost N Found]

Thank you edina, it makes me smile knowing that I can give a smile to another. I have not seen that movie but it does look very interesting to see and I will get round to that soon. The topic is so real and there are so many folks exposing and doing everything to prosecute these evil nasty people. The whole canadian thing is being exposed about the governments. I see that this is so Hugh in this upside down sick world we all inhabit today. From the Catholic church the Pope and all the down to the governments this sick crap needs to be exposed and stopped. Thank you again.

Okay, I am going to give us all something we can use. Lionhawk compiled a video bank for all of us just awhile back which was a lovely thing for him to do. I would like to give all the compilation of folks that have posted since the beginning and the post numbers. I can only do this through posts 400 and page 20 at this time but you get to see who is around since then bearing in mind that there still is 22 pages of folks that have burned logs and twigs and what have you around this loving fire. In compiling this I have cried and laughed and felt so much love from the tellings and sharings. So here are the first 20 pages where you can search back through the posts and again see and feel and read and. Here is the first 11 pages.

Repost to correct hopefully

Good day Folks!

Thank-you Lost & Found for the time and effort you put into our campfire. You may have discovered a second job. hahahhaha At least that is what I discovered when I started doing what I did. Even though there was a lot of great stuff posted as far as music and such, I still think that the first hand stories are the real jewels. Would love for that to continue. I know everyone has one or several. The magic happens when you share it.

As I mentioned early on that I would be doing some work on Halloween. The mission was to prevent what could be prevented as far as child abuse and sacrifice. 2 weeks ago I received a dream. The postman came by and dumped a truckload of small boxes. The boxes were covered in that tan brown wrapping. When I uncovered several of the boxes, I discovered they were all Crayola Crayons. I was to wrap these crayons up as Christmas gifts to the kids. So I guess whatever I did worked.

Now this is one subject that opens that big bad door. The big bad door that says this material is even to unstable for adults to listen to, let alone watch. It isn't the warm and fuzzy type of subject. It will also test your heart in ways of the extreme. "Don't mention the Reptilians," if you don't you will be taking the blue pill. But even if I don't mention them, there are others who have already made a name for themselves concerning this subject. They are just as regressive as the Reptilians.

Keep in mind this doorway also leads to missing people. Not just kids. Folks have been taken to other domains against their will. Some are displayed like zoo animals on other worlds. If you are not being stored on a meat hook somewhere, you are subjected to experiments and slavery of the worst kind. This has been going on for years, as in like thousands of years. Yet right in front of you. So many a blind eye contributes to this behavior. Talk is talk. Talk all you want. Meanwhile..............."APATHY" enables.

It is one of mankind's darkest stories. For one to venture into this subject, you better eat a lot of oatmeal. For the ones not talking about it and are actually "doing" something about it, Thanks for your service, doesn't seem to be enough.

I said the above because I do have some first hand knowings in this subject. You might as well call this a war. Except for the fact that no war as been formally decreed.
But it is still a war. Even the terrain says it is.

As in any war, you have a target, a goal. So you set up your troops to deploy in some type of orderly fashion. Logistics. The ones doing the "bad" don't see it as war. They are just harvesting like a farmer. What makes it war is we are the ones being harvested. Some say follow the money. I'd say follow the food.

What do you call it when 3500 kids turn up missing in one New York county in one year? All kinds of stats abound. Yet the question remains.... where did they all go and how? Some of the questions alone will haunt you. For years after the occurrence. You want disclosure? Really? Now you know why you will never see disclosure? They would have to admit their supporting roles in this horrid atrocity. And Dr. Greer doesn't want this to come out because that would be a "game over" for him. He says, "You can't prove out a negative." What? Says who?

The one thing you do in a war is get control of the enemy's logistical network. But when your so called officials are part of that network and the problem, what makes you think they will disclose the truth to you? This is more than UFOs we're talking about here. We are talking about bringing mankind to the extraterrestrial market.

Since the last ten years have gone by, the network on getting human goods to that market has changed. Part of the reason was their network was disrupted by certain positive factions. Don't ask me to prove out a positive. The wars here on the Planet are part of the human supply to that market. More wars, more human goods. More refugees, more human goods. Do you think all these illegal immigrants are coming here by accident? Kids no less? Think about it. Even the States don't know who is coming in and who is going out. Meanwhile the three letter orgs want to catalog the existing inventory of mankind.

Yes my Brother, before we become awakened, we live in the darkness of sleep. we are conditioned to be blind and sheep we are or lemmings that blindly walk over the cliff. When our eyes and our minds are opened, our hearts are opened first. The light pushes the darkness away. We slowly move more towards the light as it begins to fill our beings. The more awake we become the more we become warriors for the light and I must say or use the proper essence witch is LOVE. Our souls stir to the bright side. We must all let the light touch each other to fight this blackness. Forward we go.

This sick evil dark is being pushed back but it is the real war we are in. The illusion in this world is part of darkness. I even see this around us in all that we gather. I am so saddened it actually hurts. The Reptilians permeate the illusion and our children are being disappeared and sacrificed for the evil, Satanist rituals by the governments, the churches, The Pope. The illusion wars that are paraded out in front of us daily are nothing more than food supply for these Reptoids. Fear is the main course for these things. The meat is just a sideline but it is so sinister.

This is just some of my seeing and I will wield my long sword to push back against this utter evil.
The dreams I have leave me exhausted. yet I know that I fight for the heart and light. The only true being is Love and that is where we go.

Love to all here and in and out

…yesterday I reconnected with the sparkles. There had been an intimidating belief that I had to bring energy OUT. I have been working the heart and my heart has been feeling painful even physically. Last night I saw the sparkles falling around me like a rain storm. I gentled the sparkles and imagined send (directing) them all through me.

For a period of time far exceeding my membership, here on Avalon, my own personal crusade has been to expose those extra-dimensional Reptoid Entities who run the Farming Operation, here within this reality.

http://projectavalon.net/forum4/customprofilepics/profilepic165_1.gif - Is my talisman, and appears on my Profile Page.

I have a personal "sacrifice-story" that would cause a grown man to tears.

Due to ongoing trust issues, I dare not share that story with the forum.

Suffice it to say, Lionhawk is correct, this has been going-on for thousands of years, and I have no problem talking about that.

It's that time again. Christmas.....

Back in the day, when Christmas was Christmas, my mother always found a way to make that happen for us kids. We were poor and sometimes the difference between a good year and a bad year was only a few dollars away. But Mom made it a point in her heart that her kids had a Christmas, In some ways we were like the TV show called the Waltons. We could relate to their trials of life.

We always had a natural Christmas tree. The decor on the tree were a combination of homemade things and standard fare. I always remember the old fashion lights. Along with the tinsel, our tree looked pretty good. But it was the anticipation of the whole affair. Most often we couldn't sleep very well on Christmas Eve. I remember one Christmas Eve where my father tied a cow bell to the chimney and lined a kength of fishing line down from the chimney through the living room window, where he would pull on it once in a while, making you think that Santa was on the roof. Had us completely fooled as we would lay there faking that we were sleeping.

Some of the gifts received were often homemade. Even a homemade sled would be under some stockings. And the sled worked! But we thought Santa made them. Go figure, The big day was always fun as my grand folks from my mother's side, would come up with homemade pastry and gifts. After dinner, we would open presents around a nice warm wood stove. It;s strange in the sense that I remembered only a few of the gifts but I always remember their faces on Christmas day.

As years passed, the family grew up and pursued their own lives but still put in an effort to gather for Christmas day. The gifts changed over the years but the faces remained the same. Happy ones. Finally my grandparents on my mom's side died. Mom received some inheritance money and she decided to have one last hurrah for the family. A Christmas that was also a statement because my mother had felt guilty for all those years for not being able to do more on Christmas. Little did she know that her guilt was never realized by me. But anyway, the tree had many gifts under and around it that it almost made you sick. Mom was glowing on that day. She was happy to just have one Christmas where she could do what she wanted to give without any hardship in the process.

In my adult years. some years were leaner than others. One year I decorated my motorcycle as a tree. For two years I decorated a tree with fishing tackle. That turned out to be ingenious since fishing tackle is multi-colored and has hooks on it. Add some tinsel and there you have it.

So I guess my message here is make the best of a holiday called Christmas, because the ultimate gift one will receive is the gift of all the warm hearts you touch on that day. Or the warm hearts that touch yours.

Namaste'

Beautiful post, LionHawk. I couldn’t resist this video. We didn't watch much TV growing up, but I did manage to catch a few of the Walton episodes. xo

We need to build a canopy over this campfire cause the snow is going to get deep. Lionhawk gets to make the wonderful cookies, Buster gets to sit in everyone's lap to spread the warmth and do some dancing. Shadowself gets to make a very large pot of coffee and this Christmas will be filled with lots of love and warmth. The Waltons and the Ingalls.

Dear Delight, I have noticed that you have decided to retire from Avalon. You will be missed. Please accept my sincerest wish for you to walk in safety and love as you move forward in your ongoing adventures.

I love you dearly my sister
Steven

[Meggings]

When I learned Delight had retired, it really hit me. I tried to send her a message but don't think it went through. I saw how ephemeral this grouping is, and that we find people we enjoy here, we communicate electronically-tapped-out words with them, then they disappear from our lives. I was hit when Selkie left too. I've withdrawn a bit from the forum, feeling how unreal it is, how unreal are our connections here.

Quite a few times I've come to this thread, feeling the desire to speak, but instead stare at the empty box and wonder how real any of my words could possibly be, put here in this format. On a forum, people come, they write, and then life takes them in its hand and some become ill, some die, and we do not know. We do not know because we cannot see them. Because the connection is not real. But it keeps us occupied with words, when what we need more than words, is the smile, the physical touch, and caring, the help when times are physically hard. It used to be that neighbours would bring a casserole or soup to the door of a neighbour they knew was ill.

Admittedly I've been lying awake in bed for three hours in this night, and such thoughts, such feelings of desolation came upon me. I truly want connection, but we can so easily just disappear from another's ken, and in this pre-dawn darkness, it feels so unreal. I long for the days when we had homes and neighbours we knew, when on summer evenings we'd gather in the sweet night air outside and talk, person to person. You knew they would be there the next day, the next week, the next month. You knew if one of your neighbours fell ill, you'd all know about it, and give help if needed.

The isolation in our cyber society is dangerous, for we truly are alone, though lulled into thinking we are not. And alone, when we stumble and fall, we disappear from the electronic keyboard, from the illusion of connection, and will be no more in another's fleeting daily skimming of the forum threads. It will be as though we had never happened to meander through, scattering these bits of electronic data.

[Lionhawk]

Well, this is sad news. First Selkie and now Delight.

During the week of Thanksgiving, one of the thoughts I had was to go and pick her up and drive her here and have her spend Thanksgiving with Shadowself and I. Even spend the night or a few nights and then drive her back home.

Real or not real? That is a matter of self perception. Personally, my connections to you all here are very real to me. I would not appreciate you in the reverence that I do if this wasn't real for me. Granted, that one may feel very isolated at times, as if no one gives a damn. But I can't say that is true around this campfire. Everyone has shown love to one another and like i keep saying, I am surrounded by some great souls and it is an honor to be in your company.

I think many of us here wanted to do more for Selkie. At least I did. I can only hope she gets to the bottom of whatever it is that weighs her down. She is always welcomed back here to this fire. Another reason why I was a little shocked as to her leaving.

We know that we can't make anyone stay. Free agency. But because someone has shared their soul with us, it will be heartfelt when they do leave. That's what makes it real for me is that heart connection. During the course of my day, I often find myself thinking about many of you here. If it wasn't real for me, I wouldn't give you a second thought. Heck, I feel way more connected to some of you than my immediate family. So what is real?

I do have an open door policy and I would rather have someone come to me than turn around and do something for the wrong reasons. Sometimes I'm slow at getting back to you but I always get back to you. Some of you already know this.

Miss Meggings, I understand you are processing many things right now. Just know that we give a damn. I will always be concerned about you. As with many of you who have shared yourself here. So for me this is not make believe.

Sometimes you have to step out and look at things from a distance to get a different perspective. Just know our inner insecurities often will rock our boat and cause us to react with unbalanced emotions. If you can appreciate what we do have instead of what we don't have, our whole being resonates at a higher frequency. And things turn out not as bad as they seem. Very difficult to do when we feel isolated and alone.

So at least from Shadowself and I, we do care and know, despite this method of communication, that your expressions and your story are vital in "KNOWING" you! And I love what I know of all of you. And maybe that is why my day is full of thoughts concerning many of you.

So Miss Meggings, snap out of it. And i say that from my heart. When one door closes another one opens. Just know that means growth. The things that no longer serve your highest good are dying and sometimes we hang on to those things just out of habit. We all have our own pain. Somebody always has it worse off than you or I do. We just got to toughen up a little. The difference here is that you are not really alone. And you know I value what you have posted. I heard you because I listened to what you had to say.

Delight, if you are still popping in here at all, please know you will be missed terribly and it isn't my wish that you depart from our fire. You will always have a place here. Your "grandfathered" in as they say.

From Shadowself and Lionhawk.

:heart:

Dear Megs,
Your journey has been long and hard and may always be so to one degree or another. One never is free of the past. As you can, when you can, remember the past as a movie you saw once a long time ago and know you are now making the movie that you'll remember 10 years from now.
Do one thing each day that demonstrates to yourself that you are not encumbered by your old movies.....learn to knit, go for a walk, volunteer at an animal rescue... Each attempt will add to your future remembrances and make your life a little easier.

Good Morning! :coffee:

Sorry I've been absent from the fire but putting out a fire is what I'm currently at so excuse my absence.

Putting out THIS FIRE will NEVER happen.

First of all Lionhawk signed that 'From Shadowself and Lionhawk'....which is my sentiment as he and I are ONE of a flame.

But I must remind you ALL....Once again.

It was here from the Original Avalon to which this forum evolved Lionhawk and I were finally after thousands of what you call years rejoined. We complete each other. While we are two distinctly different people we share the same essence.

It's a rare thing too! The good new...perhaps not in this lifetime but eventually you too will find your other essence and share that warmth of a FLAME THAT NEVER DIES! It's destiny.

I know many will never find that in one particular lifetime as goals are to be achieved before that happens. What goals? YOUR GOALS!

I believe with all my heart each individual is unique unto themselves. Once that goal is achieved reunion of both goal oriented halves unite once again. It may take many lifetimes to achieve...just ask Lionhawk! He'll tell you that he has been through the ringer of lifetime lessons and loss and learning. We all have.

This is the beauty of the soul and the heart within.

Here at Project Avalon the Mods and Admins and Bill Ryan go to great lengths to protect the members so they can share and learn and experience what they have achieved in this lifetime. It's not just about the interweb chatter either. Because behind EVERY AVATAR on this forum is a unique soul wishing to express themselves and share from that soul.

Miss Meggings! I have seen nothing but a stunning soul within you and I would be greatly disappointed if you were to ever leave this fire damn it!!! I know I've not expressed that to you personally but I am NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every person here is not simply an avatar. Connections have been made. Contact of one soul to another and is to be cherished.

That is what makes this thread so unique. There is NO placement of judgement. There is a talking stick passed around to share that unique individual...in good times and bad! I personally have shared some bad here on this thread. It was not to bring anyone down either. It was expressing such sadness. I've also shared my joys!

So damn it! We are here for you Meggings and Delight will be missed! Period! Lionhawk was not exaggerating either...he knew Delight was not far away in the geological sense and was seriously considering the invitation. He just figured it would probably be too forward to ask...as did I. But the offer still stands should she decide to come back and make contact once again! That goes for you too Miss Meggings and anybody else here who's heart is in this for all the right reasons. Which is self evident by this thread alone.

You are too valuable to lose so as Runningdeer said! Snap out of it! We love you and this is an open door from our heart to yours!

Now back to putting out that fire and soon I'll return to our regularly scheduled program while Lionhawk puts another log on the fire.

See ya on the flipside!

Meggings, your loved by the real. Folks are sitting in reality, Sure it is in front of a computer screen but here or there we all sit and feel the pain, the sadness, the joy the happiness but of all we all feel the love. That is the true warmth of this fire. I pray that Delight does visit to rejuvenate the love that flows from this fire. Be it virtual or view by eye sight it is real. I have spent some very quality time going back to the beginning of this thread and reading, crying, laughing and just totally being amazed at the heart felt stories, tellings of all the folks lives. I posted what I have done in showing each loving soul that has tossed logs and branches and twigs on this fire. I have given a way to go back for each of us to re visit. I must say that RunningDeer has given me some tips to hopefully activate these posts so one just has to click and be taken back or into that feeling, that love. Meggings your love, your heart shines the light and warmth and you are real as we all are and in this universe we all will in time light up the sky. Here is just something.

Hi all, and thanks for your kind reaching out. Paula, I adore Moonstruck. Nancy, I do do (I just posted recent art work tonight in this link - check out the monkeys in the "Pleiadian Seascape" one...http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?82303-The-Share-Your-Art-Thread&p=1028081&viewfull=1#post1028081.

I was apparently "hit" with an energetic attack that tore me open, and quite simply I felt "horribilis" horrible all day with what felt like a gaping hole in my solar plexus. It resulted in me getting two hours sleep, which might have given me pause about posting pre-dawn, but didn't. Sigh. There are times I handle my extreme poverty well, and other times I just get paralyzed by not having a dollar. Right now I'm good, though exhausted, so will toddle off to sleep and dream the dreams of the just and good.

[Beren]

There are times when your flame feels alone,
when your heart trembles and is cold as stone.
You reach your hands to embrace
but there`s only one hard face,

Darkness.

And then you cry the unseen tears and weep but no one hears...
left alone to face the empty life in this rock in space.
Should I say more?
Should you listen more?

Love is all that is.

Such a simple saying...O how true it is.
Inner darkness is there for all so that you -can be born anew.
Like a seed that is in the dark soil...wondering where`s everybody...
I am alone and it`s cold and dark here...

And while the tiny seed linger in thoughts that bleed sadness,
while its little spark slowly taste the madness...
little does the seed knows what is light, what is love...

And then it weeps and cries with silent song
towards heaven, calling God...
Help me Father, Mother - all!
Alone in darkness, lost and cold...

Little does the seed knows.

Then the silence.
To utter the word, there is no one now.
Seed is silent and falls in dream without dreams...

Little does the seed know...
How its prayer was heard before it was done,
how Love was sent to warm the cold stone
how life flows within its very soul...

Little does the seed know...

And then...
The seed...did let go.

Its heart and soul did explode
and the dream was real and strong and bold.
the sound of rain and sky above
has given truth to the little seed below.

The world change.

And one day our seed is no more...
Now there is the mighty Oak.
And Sequoia, Birch and Rose...

The seed had many paths before its heart,
but the one who chose with its core...
The flame eternal, holy Love.

Little did the seed knew,
about the fire, water, world.
how God breathes its spirit free,
how Love creates thee...

O seed of God, embody Love and become God.

[Jhonie]

I gave up what I had lost. I gave it up. I lost everything; diamonds and gold, money, beautiful clothes, expensive furniture. Lost, now given up. I even gave up the losing. And, what I find amusing are those that look upon me as rich.

[Orph]

............. and such thoughts, such feelings of desolation came upon me. I truly want connection, but we can so easily just disappear ...........

.......... for we truly are alone, though lulled into thinking we are not. And alone, when we stumble and fall, we disappear ......... Glad to hear you are feeling better now.

I have rarely felt any connection to anyone or anything in my lifetime. In other words, I know the loneliness all too well. If you should fall into the grips of loneliness, even for a short time, know there is great power there. (And no, I don't mean that crap about building character. Loneliness hurts. :) ).

I can disappear, and almost no one would even notice I'm gone. But I've come to realize something, ..... I can't disappear from myself. When the darkness descends upon you, take the time to really feel into it. And then realize that you still have you. You will always have you. Realize the power that is you, without all the sparkles, bells and whistles. Without people. Without anything. There is still, ....... you.

Love yourself.

“One Last Feather”

As mentioned, Michael sends me feathers after his passing. Even after all these years, I get them around our birthdays and Michael’s rebirth date. His rebirth date is today. This one was at the bottom of my stairs, two days ago.


http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Feather/feather-sent-12815_zpsn33gmwvc.JPG

As part of the healing process, I needed a connection with a humming bird and an eagle. They represented new beginnings and vision, spiritual awakening, joy and love. I had an extensive collection but these two were rare finds where I live.

It was four months after Michael passed, I went for a visit at my sister’s place in Nicassio, CA. This one morning, I stared out the window when a humming bird fluttered in one spot long enough for me to see. And when I wondered, he shifted a few inches over so I could get a longer look. When I returned from vacation a friend of mine passed along a humming bird feather. I added it to the picture collage below.

I shared with my sister the wish for one last eagle feather. My family’s been on the journey with me; some got feathers as well. Several days after the humming bird incident my sister and I headed to Las Vegas to hook up with our parents. While browsing the mall, I got a knowing to check out something in a display case in the Luxor Hotel. I pointed to a coin and told my sister there’s something about that one. A sales person came over and asked if I want to see something. I’m half listening and he turned it over and said, “…and there’s an eagle on the back”. My sister’s eyes went wide-wide.

“I’ll take it.”

Fast forward to the end of the eagle story, I kept the eagle coin close to my heart, in a jean vest pocket. A few weeks after I returned from the trip, I lost it. I remembered putting into the pocket that morning, by evening it was gone. It must have dropped out when I bent down. Like the first feather from the night before Michael’s burial, this one brought another level of closure and healing.

Well today is cloudy and it is grey. Today is sad, a great man has moved from this dimension to another. This happened on the 8th. The wisdom and light remains for all us to know and have. John Trudell has moved from this physical realm. I will give you a place to go to read some of this and watch a couple of videos May the Great spirit bless his family and all of us.

I feel the warmth of your welcome radiating right down to my toes on this chilly morning Steven!

Wow!

That is a lot whole load of work you have done there brother!

I'll have to start reading from the very start...

Get to know you all a little better...

Something that is very near and dear to my heart is community.

I live in a fairly close-knit community in a village where we all help each other out; we do things for each other, gift each other, spend time with each other just to hear each others stories, or just to hang out; going for walks, having a laugh at each other and ourselves, supporting each other through good and hard times and generally just entwined in each others lives.

We know everyone and everyone knows us. We spent ten years building our house and even though we still haven't finished building it yet, the meals and the stories that have been shared could write an entire book.

Our house has become and is a revolving door for all around us and yesterday was no exception.

I had two visitors with two different needs but the stories we shared!

One story, a villager had never shared with anyone before. It had brought so much shame upon her and had changed her life so completely that for 30 years, she had kept her story to herself.
I don't know why she chose me or this time but when she came to the end of her story, it was amazing to see the relief on her face! I can't even begin to imagine what burdens are carried that go to graves untold but personally, I would like to see an end to all guilt, shame and blame on this planet.

My son and I play this game.

Whenever someone knocks on the door (and it is quite often!) he says to me "I wonder who this could be?" I have to intuit who it will be before I reach the door. Often I can tell who it is and why they are calling just from the nature of the knock. Friends just wanting to play, friends bearing gifts, our friendly delivery driver bringing deliveries, friends bringing news about babies, deaths, illnesses. The knocks are all different.

Welcome to fire Breal. The place you live sounds very nice. Is the village, like an eco village on one parcel so to speak, or like a small town that is all in close proximity?

I live in a nice place, but I often miss community like you describe. I have a house with my partner and her kids, and my parents and brother have a house on the land as well. There is hardly any communication with any of the neighbors though. I spent the first half of my twenties living very communally. Lived on farms while I travelled, was a raft guide in the summer where we all had a camp together, then when I finally rented a place when I was 25 the land I lived on had lots of community. We do have community here now with family though.

Well, glad you are here, look forward to hearing some stories from you, I have enjoyed what you have written in the story thread.

Heres a song to welcome you...

Great Spirit

“
Mindful, stay mindful
— -Nahko Bear

Lyrics by Nahko & Medicine for the People

Great Spirit, I have had it
Bring me back to the nomadic
Way of weaving through the damage
Mindful, stay mindful

Great Spirit, for my sisters
Let me be a flowing river
Flood the banks, the rocks that bind her
Carry, I'll carry

Great, Great Spirit
Great, Great Spirit

Great Spirit, for my brothers
Let me be a mountain under
Which he climbs to discover his process
Now that's progress
Great Spirit, All that hinders
Tie reminders to my fingers
I must speak with you more often
BUDDING TREES LYRICS
I MUA LYRICS
MANIFESTO LYRICS
ALOHA KE AKUA LYRICS
NYEPI LYRICS
Great, Great Spirit
Great, Great Spirit

Great Spirit, for my relations
Give them strength to face racism
In every single situation
Easy now, go on speak loud

Great Spirit, Take me Instead
Guide me down the road of red
Tunkashila, I am saying, praying,

Great, Great Spirit
Great, Great Spirit
Tunkashila (grandfather)
Tunkashila
Tunkashila
Tunkashila

Great Spirit, just don't collapse
Nothing but the earth will last
And I'll be singing sweetly into the darkness
Now hark this

Great spirit on my tongue,
Be still, be still
The time will come when everyone will sing
All life is sacred,
While I'm waiting
Great spirit, my fist is up
Bringing the power to the people, you're reflection of us
Some of your people can't hear it, the cries of the earth
Some of your people can't feel it, the way that it hurts
And it hurts, Great Spirit
And it moves, Great Spirit
Interconnected in the wreckage of a paradigm on its way out
Its way out
Speakin' a spiritual lyrical testimony
The spirit that did resist weavin' around false prophesies
Spirit directed and selected with the message I bring
While the ship slowly sinks I've been directed to sing
I'm like a wreckin' ball breakin' down the walls of the past
A minimalist livin' on bliss with the last of my cash
You're gonna be justified with how you treated the land
You're gonna be by my side when I stand and demand a change

Tunkashila
Tunkashila
Tunkashila
Tunkashila

Great, Great Spirit
Great, Great Spirit

Oh Zionbrion - such a warm welcome! Thank you :bearhug:

I also enjoy the posts you have made on A story we all write :bowing::bowing:

I am always eager to see what has been posted and I have really immensely enjoyed contributing! It is really starting to unfold isn't it? :)

I hadn't seen the song you welcomed me with by Nahko before!! How thoughtful and intuitive of you :happy dog:

Nahko bear just happens to be my favourite muso and I am going to see him perform with my partner in life, in March next year!

I also hope to get to chat with him about his work whilst he is in Melbourne because I am really interested in getting to know more about his projects.

How glad I am for you that you have your family with you. :heart:

I understand though, how you would miss living more communally.
I come from a very big family and living communally has always felt like a natural extension of the family to me.
The village we live in was intentionally created about 10 years ago. It is an eco-permaculture village and there are 26 houses that are on one parcel of private land. We back onto bushland and a creek.

We are now in the midst of building a community hall. There are lots of kids of various ages in our village and a host of talented souls who play musical instruments, sing, dance, paint, cook etc so it is going to be one well-used spot.
I know I am really looking forward to sharing many more communal meals on cold winter nights! :clapping:

I was just saying to Steven the other day that we have such an incredible abundance of wildlife here.
We have Kangaroo’s, native Mice, Ducks, Platypus, Magpies, Tawny frogmouths, Koalas, Peacocks (yes, one strutted by our house one day) Foxes, Possums, Rabbits, Lorikeets, Rosellas, Magpies, King Parrots, Sulphur-crested cockatoos, Grey herons, Ravens, bronze -wing pigeons, spotted turtle doves, frogs of every variety, crested pigeons, Gang Gang Cockatoos, Welcome Swallows, Galahs, Tiger snakes and Indian Minor birds. And then there is the Flora...

Just this morning, a Kookaburra flew into our garden and landed on my son's trampoline. He was just so beautiful. He looked like this.

Your community sounds like how I envision the world one day. Hopefully before it’s time for me to move on.

“Animal Spirit Guides,” Steven Farmer (excerpt from)

If KOOKABURRA shows up, it means:


To manifest, stay centered, maintain focus and determination, and let nothing deter you.
Be compassionate, yet don’t be fooled by anyone who acts casual and lighthearted when you sense that they’re covering up some other unpleasant feelings.

Call on KOOKABURRA when:


You’ve been called to serve your community in some capacity and provide wise leadership and guidance for others.
You’re very clear and certain about a particular goal and you want to go for it.
You know that it’s time to release some of your outworn values, beliefs, and behavior patterns that no longer serve you.

If KOOKABURRA is your POWER ANIMAL:


You’re a very determined individual and you aggressively go after what you want when you want it.
You easily command respect from everyone you come into contact with and enjoy the recognition that your role as a leader provides.
For you to do your best, it’s critical that you have a stable and secure home life.
You come across as a very casual and easygoing person most of the time, even though inside you may feel intensely.

[Zionbrion]

Wow, I am so jealous Breal! Hehe. That sounds amazing. I spent a fair ammount of my time when I travelled in New Zealand staying at different eco village type places. I remember this one place in particular called Mana Retreat center. It is located on the Corromandell peninsula. I didn't stay there, but I was doing work trade at a Buddhist Monastery inspired by Tich Naht Hahn right below it, and I would go up there every chance I got. They had a huge community center building a top a hill with glass walls over looking the valley below, where they often had dance parties.

My girlfriend and I both share the vision of eventually living in a place like you are in, wether we build it or find one, I see it happening one day. She wants us to go on a cross country trip tailored to visiting different communities some time soon.

In A story we all write I am excited to see what happens once they start getting the devices out to the world. :)

=======

Good news for the California drought, its been raining like crazy here, and dumping snow in the mountains. It feels so good. It has been 50 degrees and sunny where I live for the last 4 winters, which in some ways was nice, but I never got that hibernation feeling that I like in winter. Supposivley El Nino is suppose to wetten things up even more starting in January, perhaps the largest one on record. I think we will be fine where I live, but I think southern California will have some serious issues with flooding and land slides.

Enjoy your weekend everyone. :)

Edit: just saw this created a new page so here is 9 hours of music to guide you through reading it. :). I have been loving falling asleep to this track

Thank you Zionbrion, wonderful music. Glad to see you getting some wetness over there so way needed. Got snow here last night and more expected. The Story we all write is moving into very exciting things. I really like where you and breal are taking it. My last conversation with her was that I am playing the nasty side of things while you and her are keeping that major positive side going, Can't hardly wait for the next piece to stir the heart and mind. Beware I'm chasing the good folks with the evil nasties of the police and military.

Well regarding that second job that lionhawk stated, I discovered a major mistake with my postings and when I went to see if I could go back it didn't work. So after a complete flagging and flaying I had to sit on a cold pad and cover myself with healing salve. My mind came around and I started to figure out how to fix the situation, RunningDeer, what a sweety she is, gave me great information to follow with things, but must confess I could not get close to linking the posts separately so finally figured out to just link the pages. So if anyone wants to go back one or two pages to see those posts you can now at least link back to each page and browse through the 20 posts per page to read and listen and enjoy the love that has been given around this fire. I am still a work in progress as RunningDeer and others have stated and I will be posting pages to catch up. For the most part one can see who has been around this warm fire and even travel through time to listen to each and their stories of life.

So thank you all for being so patient with me while my pea pic in brain caught up.
Love to all
Steven

That is a great list! Thank you RunningDeer. :bowing:

Kooka didn't have anything to say to me directly, but Kooka made himself present to me, up close and personal, as if to affirm where I stand in the world. I looked him in the eye and he looked back at me with his sideways knowing look.

Just about every morning of my life, Kookas have heralded the dawn's coming with their crazy laugh - They are the background noise of my life.

But sometimes, they like to get close to me.

I was out camping and I was just about to put a forkful of food into my mouth when

I felt a sharp tug at my fork and then my food was gone!

I only felt the soft swoosh of something moving very swiftly.

I turned around to open my mouth and let rip at a friend of mine who is a real prankster but he just stood there grinning, with his hands in his pockets.

Bewildered, I looked around me to find the source of trouble and as I did, I spied to my right and off in the distance, the Kooka, on a tree branch, vegetarian sausage in its beak, beating it to death.

They were even there on the day I got married, crazy reminders of the vow I was taking, perched upon the branches of native trees nearby, on the most perfect clear blue sky day, raucous laughter of the Kookas so loud and cacophonous that the celebrant was drowned out and had to repeat himself... :ROFL:

Wow, I am so jealous Breal! Hehe.

:bigsmile:
Great poem you just made there in A story we all write Zionbrion!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you could have knocked me over with a feather with that one...


That sounds amazing. I spent a fair ammount of my time when I travelled in New Zealand staying at different eco village type places. I remember this one place in particular called Mana Retreat center. It is located on the Corromandell peninsula. I didn't stay there, but I was doing work trade at a Buddhist Monastery inspired by Tich Naht Hahn right below it, and I would go up there every chance I got. They had a huge community center building a top a hill with glass walls over looking the valley below, where they often had dance parties.
Now that sounds amazing to me! I have never been there but it sounds so inviting!


My girlfriend and I both share the vision of eventually living in a place like you are in, wether we build it or find one, I see it happening one day. She wants us to go on a cross country trip tailored to visiting different communities some time soon.

That is so exciting to hear Zionbrion :highfive:

I was only discussing this with people the other day because they are looking to either start a community of their own or move into an existing one themselves. The question for them is, does one start a community that is ideal for one's self, or do they move into a community where the community is already established but open to changes that are for the highest good of all?


In A story we all write I am excited to see what happens once they start getting the devices out to the world. :)

me too, me too. Thank you for all your efforts ;)

Good news for the California drought, its been raining like crazy here, and dumping snow in the mountains. It feels so good. It has been 50 degrees and sunny where I live for the last 4 winters, which in some ways was nice, but I never got that hibernation feeling that I like in winter. Supposivley El Nino is suppose to wetten things up even more starting in January, perhaps the largest one on record. I think we will be fine where I live, but I think southern California will have some serious issues with flooding and land slides.

Glad you are finally getting some rain. What a blessed relief hey?

I know what it is like to experience drought and what a relief it is to finally have water again because we had a patch of it ourselves a few years ago now. Peoples gardens all died and everything looked brown for what seemed the longest time... but amazingly enough now, the flora is looking more beautiful than ever and we are in a lush period again.


Enjoy your weekend everyone. :)

Edit: just saw this created a new page so here is 9 hours of music to guide you through reading it. :). I have been loving falling asleep to this track

I really like where you and breal are taking it.

Oh Steven, thank you from the deepest places within my :heart:

I have to say that I really enjoy a good drama scene myself so it is always very thrilling to see how the four manage to foil the military and government, each and every time. You always sound like you are writing from experience!




Can't hardly wait for the next piece to stir the heart and mind.

So thank you all for being so patient with me while my pea pic in brain caught up.

Why, dear hearted one, I feel that we need to thank you for such a tremendous effort on your behalf :star:

Thank you Dear, My dear RunningDeer. Wow!
You are a sweet Hart. I suspect that we will have a running tab on this as we go. New folks having a sit down for the first time and all of us that have been here for awhile can go back and find the most wondrous stories, music, Art work, poems and some of the deepest heart felt tellings.
To our two dearest friends, Brother and Sister, Zionbrion and breal who have connected in such a wonderful way of both being in communities in the physical sense and now also in this community of virtuosity this is a blessing.

This campfire is a blessing for all of us. Lionhawk my brother, I sincerely hope all is right.

Silent Hellos to Animals:


I was out camping and I was just about to put a forkful of food into my mouth when I felt a sharp tug at my fork and then my food was gone!

…Bewildered, I looked around me to find the source of trouble and as I did, I spied to my right and off in the distance, the Kooka, on a tree branch, vegetarian sausage in its beak, beating it to death.

I pass along silent hellos to animals. Sometimes they help me discover parts of myself or test out physical connections with them.

A couple of examples:

The landlady’s horse was grazing at the other end of the field. I sent him a stream of heart-hellos. Without skipping a beat, he ran full speed towards me, shook his head and whinnied.

The second example, I was out for a walk at a ranch in Nicasio, California where I was staying. There were about ten California Condors feeding on a carcass. I watched until one looked up. I spread out my arms in slow motion and sent from the heart center. He did the same back. Twice we communicated in powerful silence.

One last point. I'm learning to not only send from the heart, but from the whole-body. In the example of the pigeons, when I walk, they fly all around me. I feel them in my aura. One pooped on me last winter. I felt it through multi-layers of bulk clothing. They’re companions that help me to experience with all the senses.

When I was seventeen years old, a bird pooped on my head. Little did I know one year later I’d hitch-hike across the state line with only a brown bag filled with clothes and a couple of books to begin a new life. My first job was right there at that card shop where the bird christened me.

Greetings fellow fire watchers. heartsong reporting in.
The great black bird of depression has return for his winter roosting. He's been fluttering around my head, picking out succulent lumps with his beak and afterword whispering lies in my ears. The black bird of Christmas.
Other than that I'm holding up fairly well. I sing in a concert Tuesday, husband and I go to a garden all lit up for Christmas on Wednesday night and as one foot falls in front of the other Christmas will arrive, I will be ready and all will be well. Me included I hope.
Whatever holiday you are celebrating or avoiding, I wish you well.

I was curious to see if there’s a connection with the black bird. Given your passion and ability to sing, it’s an interesting read from “Animal Spirit Guides,” by Steven Farmer.

If BLACKBIRD shows up, it means:

Let go of all your inhibitions and sing, without concern for how it sounds or others’ disapproval.
Sound healing is one of your best treatments for whatever physical or emotional ailments or maladies you’re experiencing.
The gateway to the world of non-ordinary reality is open, beckoning you to follow your true spiritual path and enhance your awareness of the nonphysical realm.
This is a particularly auspicious time to observe and heed any signs or omens that are shown to you.

Call on BLACKBIRD when:

You feel overwhelmed by city life and want to connect with Nature.
You’re a singer about to give a performance or recital and want support so you can do your best.
You’re taking voice lessons in order to improve your vocal expression or your singing voice.
You’ve been getting nudged to expand your spiritual exploration but are not sure how to do so.

If BLACKBIRD is your POWER ANIMAL:

You have the gift of being able to use singing and chanting for healing purposes.
You have the greatest vitality and energy during the spring and summer season, gradually easing up through fall and winter, at which time you need extra rest and quiet.
Most of the time you’re very cheerful, gentle, and loving to others—unless and until they violate your boundaries.
You’re very territorial, aggressively defending your personal space and very selective about when and with whom you’ll share it.

Amazing RunningDeer. The writings about The Black Bird (for me a crow or raven) fit to a T. Many thanks.

[Lost N Found]

Dear Sister Nancy, That blackbird can manifest around so many. The love that shines through our hearts drives it back into it's dark forest. Sounds like Tears of joy will prevail and the light will shine brightly. I know this time of the year can be very hard for so many. I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a new look and growth for the coming year. I am going to give you a piece of music that helps me no matter what part of year it may be. This is for all of us as RunningDeer has given, to the whisperers and guests.

Okay, didn't realize the positive significance of a Blackbird So we got both sides. I watch the Blackbirds around here and they talk up a storm always. One day early in the morning my twin flame heard a very strange sound and then the black birds were talking so loud it was crazy. When I became awakened I found out that one of their fellow brothers had been electrocuted by some new newfangled piece of manmade crap that had been placed on one of the poles. Those birds cried for hours and then they disappeared for about a week or more. When their brother had disappeared from street they began to come back. It was all very sad but had received a feeling from them that made me so sad.

Hi everyone, it is lovely to see the fire is burning brightly.

These two songs came to mind while i was catching up in here, after listening i thought i would share. Breal just beat me to the first one. :highfive:

Here is the second one.


For you there'll be no crying
For you the sun will be shining
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you
It's all right I know it's right

And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you I love you I love you
Like never before.

Have you used full-spectrum lighting for these months when the days are shorter, the weather more cloudy, and one gets less sunshine?
The full-spectrum light along with vitamin D3 is said to work wonders. I knew a woman who moved from Kenya to the Swiss Alps. She suffered from "winter depression" - the SAD seasonal affective disorder.

I've really wanted to write here, but never seemed to have anything that would follow previous posts logically.
Nothing seems to make logical sense in life lately.

Oh Billy! Thank you for sharing that - That was the song I was actually looking to post for Nancy in the first instance, but I couldn't think of the name of the singer or the song! I can't believe it! (Well I can actually :eyebrows: but it always feels amazing when you keep getting confirmation that our hearts are all beating with just one heartbeat) Another divine synchronicity right there :highfive:

Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy

Breal, as you like Eva Cassidy in the song just posted, I went back to find the Eva Cassidy version of "Fields of Gold" that Paula found for me online.

I came upon it a couple years after my beloved partner had died, and it came to represent a bit of it all.
Hope you enjoy it as well.

Well good afternoon fellow campfire folks, It is snowing here and I love it. woke up this morning to at least 3 inches and more tonight. I have to throw another log in here. I did this once but got erased. So give you a pic of what I look like. mind you this was 2 years in the past, I actually look younger today, regressing back now. Go forward then move back so I will be able to reach that 300 mark. Oh well here is this once again. Saw it today and made me want to get my guitar out and play on a wonderful white day.

I sure like Steven's "getting younger" that he spoke about when he posted his photo above. He said the photo was taken two years ago and he is younger than that now. Thanks for that, LostNFound, it lifted my spirits.

Seems there's been some rapid aging going on in my family. Have heard from two brothers who are having trouble seeing now - one had a cataract operation and no longer can see well enough to continue with his prize-winning wood turnings. The other just weeks ago had "laser puncturing" for untreatable glaucoma. And I just saw how a magnifying glass suddenly lets me see the little art works I make. Here is a wish for all of us, that ALL OF US GET YOUNGER as Steven has.

In the vein of first-hand experience for this thread, I wrote some of my experiences a few hours ago elsewhere. Dawn is approaching and I ought to go to bed to sleep some before the work of tomorrow is upon me, so perhaps I can be forgiven for just putting a link here for it.

Meggings, I do believe what you have said about eye sight issues is some kind of sync. I talked with Brother Lionhawk about sight issues yesterday, Today or this morning my sweet love told me that she had an issue with seeing clearly early this morning and here is your post about family members having issues with seeing. My goodness. I am feeling for all that are experiencing this and I must admit I struggled with it when I was 39 but see okay now. When I get back to that age hope I do not go into that again. Sending my love and heart light to all to hopefully find healing with such a precious gift we have.

I am going to post some Christmas music from past music rock performers. This is our ongoing sounds of the holidays or Christmas so enjoy and look forward to others spreading cheer. I do know that some are having very sad moments and that is always happening no matter what time of the year it may be so loving and cheers always brightens our lives. Holding one another when pain and sadness flows is always a part of us as the one. I send my love to all around this fire and here is some music.

I've been deep into a creative project which is almost complete. I let myself run with creative obsession when it takes me. Popping by to tip my hat :fish:

[Hym]

Funny. One eye issue here today. i know what it is, but it's funny watching the body do it's thing anyway. My son's traveling for a month way past Bill's place, going to enjoy his friends there again. It's a time of inner sight focus as the year end leads to my birthday on the 26th. Right eye, left side of the brain...Chillin'.

Our cat came back after another short trip of 2 weeks away and I appreciate his spending the night here. He's sitting in front of the fireplace now, meditatin' as only cats can do. It's no coincidence he's here to lend me a helping hand, a welcome paw, tail up, talking....He had to take a real dose of cold to get back here, so i consider that a special trip from a little friend...

Gotta heal the eye before tomorrows long drives. Homeopathic Boiron seems to be the help here.

[Meggings]

This morning the post lady brought a battered broke-open box mailed from California. I thought how kind of her to carry on her foot route such a bulky box, delivering it to the house and saving an awkward difficult trip to a post office to collect it. It took me a minute to feel the "Hey!" It's a gift from someone I helped out by copying editing part of his first book. He'd sent it along with his second book, and that made me smile.

But why I write here is that after reading his page-long inscribed note to me, I felt energies wash through me of other life and time connection. I sat trying to put words to this CLEAR feeling that arises after soul emotion of connection-to-others washes through a person. There's a sparkly feeling in me, as though my energy body has been stirred and little energy specks are happily dancing in my aura. I wanted to write this here since there are those on this thread that soul is also connected to.

His books relate some of his decades of experience travelling time lines and seeing earth history. I applaud him for stepping out into the world and speaking of what he has seen and heard. When I finish copy editing the current book I'm working on for someone else, I plan on going through his second book to see what he has seen. We all see different things on our soul travels, from different perspectives.

I bless the internet that has brought into my sphere many people whose souls I recognize. That incudes Avalonians.

Good Morning! :coffee:

I don't have time to like every post here but know that I do and then some!

I wanted to let you all know I've stopped by here daily and also wanted to let you know two thing.

1) Lionhawk is preparing to make more boards out of the wood from that tree he just put out of it's suffering and it was indeed suffering. At the root it was completely black and getting worse as it was showing in the way it was growing. The good wood will be put to good use for the house project next spring and needs to be cured until then. What salvageable wood he got from it is beautiful! Red oak like the rest and you guys are going to see some cool stuff this spring because I'm going to document it.

2) This will probably be one of Lionhawk's last project however as his eyes are getting worse by the day. He can't drive at night anymore as it's a danger to himself and the other drivers on the road. He's having a hard time even posting and reading this thread...which at some point I may be taking dictation and transferring messages for him...also reading the post to him as he's have a real hard time here.

As it stands now he can still post some on his own but you may see various typos and such as it's just getting worse.

Good new is...for my age I'm as healthy as a horse! Don't know why...I eat entirely too much junk food....but I don't drink sodas at all....key note there! I don't exercise much except for my job which provides plenty of that! What that means is I'm here for him and always will be. I suppose that is reason enough for good health eh?

I also know you guys are there for him too which means the world to him and I think even though at the moment he's outside working on the wood...He would tell you all ~ Thanks for just being you and being there for each other!

Now I'm off to work soon but in the next couple of days I'll have an interesting personal old west cowboy story that may interest you and while it does not involve aliens it's truly a mystery!

So I'll leave you a cool cowboy song that recently came from a really cool cowboy movie that does involve aliens....

Whoa those skinwalkers!

My dear Brook, you look so young. Most folks I know that think they have to eat tofu and all the yuppi health food crap, get sick more often than those of us that pay attention to the real way to eat and exercise. Food to eat. anything in moderation I say and that seems to work better. Exercise, Well picking up that large cup of coffey, working your arms by punching a fork or spoon into something quite tasty and bringing to your mouth. Wow such wonderful exercise and just look at you. a young looking healthier than a horse and doing the right exercise. I love the picture with the saying, Attitude and a healthy attitude is such a pic me upper. Lionhawk is out there cutting an old oak tree up so this spring there is going to be some wonderful things made with beautiful wood. I would love to have a mill and the right kind of woods to do things with. Used to do that when I was 100 but stopped when turned 80 LOL. So what I do now is just draw using a pencil as a hammer and other kinds of tools. Love to do art work in that realm. Would really love to see a pic of your vintage Les Paul.

My love to you my dear sister and dear brother lionhawk. Happy hollidays to both

[Lost N Found]

For Shadowself and all around the fire that need some warm fluids Good morning to all.

[Lost N Found]

I am just here for a short time. December has consumed me, The darkness of the mid has come and is pulling, Brothers and Sisters are hidden and the feeling of being alone grapples my heart. This should be the time for the light to be bright. This will be my last post here for awhile.

May you all have a warm fire and loving company, Brothers and Sisters as you end this year and begin a new time
Love to all
Steven

[Heartsong]

Yo Steven, Are you there? It's dark in here. Let me hold out my arms. You hold out yours. Walk toward my voice; keep talking, I'll walk toward yours.
There must be others here in this darkness. Although it's dark I can feel their warmth.
Hey, is that someone singing?
Heartsong

[Matthew]

Yes, the shortest day is almost here it the literal darkness wears me down a little. I've come out of my creative obsession with the start of new skills and a web game to show for it. I successfully played this game with some friends and my little sister last night, it was a moment of triumph for me because that is what I'd hoped for while creating it. No way can I post it publically since it comes with some warnings, of being bad taste. It's not everyones cup of tea, actually quite controversial. It's posted in the 'share your art thread' in 'express yourself' tucked away in members only.

This morning I had a walk in the woods with a bunch of friends, going off track and getting lost then working out how to get back and then getting back again. Along the way we heard loud rave music and later found part of it although everyone had gone, there was just paraphernalia. Later off track and with no one as far as we could see we lit an ever so small fire in the damp.. as we always do. It lasted about ten minutes while we gathered round it and I thought of here.

[Meggings]

Hi there all, especially LostNFound. We are plugging along here on the way to winter solstice. On the way to Christmas.

My daughter came to visit last night, staying over the holiday season. She is an utter blessing. Today we walked downtown, looking for pinecones for my grand-daughter to paint. Daughter bought me a $27 bottle of white acrylic paint, some small boards to paint on, and one paintbrush at the art store. She is kind - she also bought a deli sandwich and split it three ways as we sat outside in the freezing temperature to eat it.

We picked up pinecones on the ground outside the library on the way back today, and right now as I am writing this, my daughter is helping the 2-yr-old paint them with gold sparkly paint.

I expect tomorrow they will put up a tree here. My Christmas tree was left behind last year when we moved, which made me sad, for my partner had bought it for me eleven years ago. He said no one should be without a tree at Christmas.

We saw amazing semi-precious stones today at a table in a little downtown mall. In days of yore I would have bought some of them, when I had dollars and windowsills for pretty things to catch the light.. Oh my, in writing this I wonder where my lovely crystals are that I had last year. I didn't pack up the house and don't know where "stuff" went in the move to this place.

Daughter paid for a $1 pin made out of dough, and two finger puppets for the grand-daughter for Christmas. I had not bought any gifts, but one of my brothers came awhile back and told me he "had to use up these store credits". Off we drove, an hour away to find a Gap store. The store was closing, and my brother told me we "had" to spend $250 quickly, since the credits were expiring that day. And I was able to get pyjamas for for three, and a sweater and top for another, but there was nothing for the little grand-daughter. And silly me only picked up one pair of socks for me, not realizing the joy I'd have wearing socks without holes in the heel. I was so distracted trying to find gifts for the others I didn't think clearly at the time.

And on that visit to me, my brother also brought me a winter coat that his wife had bought. He said she didn't need it. It still had tags on it. I'd kind of asked my brothers via email if I might qualify as a kid this year (since only little ones are being given presents), and mentioned that my coat was 20-years-old and had lost its zipper years ago. So now I will be warmer if I go out.

Breal from this forum recently described a chocolate-nut recipe she makes, and bit by bit I got various people going out to bring back the ingredients - in stages. One got the nuts, one got the cocaa powder, one got the butter, and there was coconut sugar in the house. So as soon as I post this Christmas update, I close the computer and enter into the joy of making Breal's chocolate nut treat with my daughter. The pinecones are painted, and they have left for a potluck, and now it's "home alone" but this time with my rather fantastic PhD daughter.

"Thank heaven, for little girls. They grow up in the most delightful way." (song lyric from Gigi)

I have not posted much, and wanted to wave my hand and say "Hi" from this part of the world. I went looking for a picture of the Christmas tree of eleven years ago, but only found one of me taken by my partner. This was after I'd been locked out of my home, business, and family, and had lost everything n one fell swoop - except for my rock-steady partner who stayed by me until cancer took him.

I had not meant to meander into sadness, but try as I might, those are the feelings I cannot quite shake. Forgive me. I came back in to edit this, so I could say how grateful I am to have a roof over my head still. It's been touch and go at times.

Peace and joy be with you around the fire Meggings! This can be a tough time of year for many, good cookies help. :bigsmile:

[sandy]

I feel your anguish and accept it too! Look after yourselves and keep one foot ahead of the other as time passes through this sorrow and grief.

Much Love to all. I will hold you in my heart throughout this time. :grouphug:

[Constance]

I haven't had much time to post lately, except to start little threads to inspire and uplift...

Meggings, enjoy your chocolate. I will think of you as I eat mine.

With all this heat, it has to stay in the fridge and so I am like a mouse, nibbling here and there.

This is a part of a poem from e.e cummings


I carry your heart with me

I carry it in my heart

I am never without it...

My husband read this poem to me on our wedding day because it was my favourite poem but now, well, it has greater meaning in this life.

It applies to all of you...

[Calz]

This is such a wonderful thread. So much sharing, inspiring and on occasion gut wrenching.

I've had a hard time participating more because the "bar has been raised" so high to find something "log worthy".


I stumbled upon a very old memory today quite by accident.


In pulling up some music to listen to the first few seconds of the advertisement reminded me of something from my childhood.

I only remember my father buying one record album for himself.

He died 20 years ago. We were never real close but getting better as the years progressed.

Unfortunately he got hit with alzheimer's at a fairly young age and our time to be close was very short.


Anyway ... the song I remember most and drew from that album was a rather touching father/son type of moment itself so I thought someone else might enjoy it.

Love it, Caiz. It's how I feel about my son, and dancing is so cool, so freeing.

I'm thinking, inspired by this, about getting him to dance. Lot's of sparring in the past, teaching him. You'd think that very good fighters should be great dancers, like Jun Fan, Bruce Lee, who was the Cha Cha Champion of Hong Kong. However, it is not so....Let's see how I can work that in when he gets back in a month.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5QAjcbvbDg

it seems that the video has been castrated in the past week since I posted it, by bleeping over the politically incorrect words.

Other youtube videos are not required to have this done, so it seems this one was generating too much 'interest' for our own 'good' as determined by some ptb.

Now that it's been sanitized, I guess the bar has been raised back above my level.

Okay flowing back from the bleakness and reached out to heartsong. Thank you dear that helped. I see brother calz has tossed some more logs on the fire, Thank you we all need that warmth. The bar has been thrown on the fire and shoot just when I was getting my eggs with some little nogs and it all went up in flames. Well that warmed up the camp real nice anyway. Caught some fish and today took care of the darkness and it turned all light again.

See some new folks so welcome to the fire pit and hope to here some real good warm stories.

Shadowself, you actually get the rest of the year off? that is great. I for one in grateful that I don't have to work anymore but I do it anyway because I like to do artistic work, Meggings does fantastic art. So here it is two days or is it one now don't know, that hot chocolate that shadowself set in front of us was so good I had to add the little nogs and golly gee forgot the time. See how easy it is to forget were your mind takes you. Just one day now and downunder even shorter till the Christmas time. Wow where did this year go. Merry Christmas and if your are politically correct, happy hollidays. Ha!! went to a government building today and yelled merry Christmas to everybody, got laughs from a lot of folks and even had them wish me a merry Christmas. So anyway you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy.

Love to all here

Good Morning! :coffee:

Yes Steven I'm off until the 4th of next year. I'm so stoked! Had to work some extra hours of overtime to accommodate but yes!

Okay then I promised an old west cowboy story.

Perhaps for the younger folks or perhaps the people in other countries that might be unaware of this story I'm going to share a few videos to get started.

This is the story of Butch Cassidy. I recommend watching the two part story as it will run into what I'm going to add to the mystery. I promise it will an adventure around the fire. ;)

I'll also add the made for movie version in two videos. So take some time out today to watch them and I'll be back to share some more...Enjoy!

[Shadowself]

Good Morning guys!

Okay....are you ready for that cowboy story?

Now mind you...what I'm going to share comes from personal direct experience in an old cowboy mystery that has been going around many cowpuncher campfires for a very long time....

http://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/group-of-cowboys-around-a-campfire-richard-wear.jpg

Be right back...after I get some of that coffee by the fire there....

[Shadowself]

Okay then....before I get to that story I'm going to say the "fire" I attempted to put out blazes on...and it's beyond me to put it out.

For that reason you'll be seeing a whole lot more of me here now keeping this fire alive! This one is full of authentic fire! I like that.

I know it's Lionhawk's spirit that got it started but all of us have contributed by putting another log on the fire.

So....(((cracking myself up here))) I'm back in the saddle again! LOL


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-MiPtNds_I?list=PLtRu1Rq9lcO14q9Vljlznvm8jQg1OTtbJ

Now on to that story...:coffee:

[Calz]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzXKN0eT4EM#t=49

[Shadowself]

Somehow I guess I inherited that old west spirit from my family genes! A shoot em up fire spirit that lives on in me that cannot just look the other way I suppose. Having been raised a city girl that may seem a bit odd but believe me it's in me and sometime it gets me in trouble! I kid you not. But that's a story for another day around the fire.

Now this story for me starts in an old mining town in Utah called Silver Reef.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Reef,_Utah

Link is so you get your bearings. But the real story starts in Brown's Park

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browns_Park

That's where my father's family settled and his father was raised.

But let's start where I did...

Growing up my mother shared with me where my name came from...and took me as a young girl to the town of Silver Reef which was quite desolate. Much more so than now as it's become a tourist attraction.

When we were there she showed me the Brook I was named after and Ann my dad's aunt insisted I be named after. She showed me the old Wells Fargo building and where my mother and father stayed on their honeymoon with his aunt Ann. My mother showed me and told me that Ann was staying there to protect the town from looters. You see my aunt Ann worked for the forestry service (which is not well known) even in her old age was quite a woman. She could punch cows better than most cowboys and it's a recorded fact. According to my mother she was hired to do this...watch to see that nobody looted the old west artifacts. I could see where some people actually looted at the time old grave stone heads for souvenirs. There were two grave yards there. One was for the town's people and the other for...well those unsavory kind that would get killed in those old west street shoot outs. They called it a "boot hill"...the burial grounds of gunfighters, or those who "died with their boots on" ...whoa! I was transported as a young girl to an old west movie for sure!

So as the years progressed on I got older and one day in my twenty's I decided to check out the story's my mother told me about Ann. You see...Ann was rather famous (or infamous) in the old west. So was her sister Josie. In fact the family itself got rather famous for bucking a Cattle Baron from the Two Bar Ranch and a feud started and it became well know around the campfires. They wanted to buy out the old family ranch in Browns park. But you see....my family and in fact Ann was one of the first white woman born in Colorado. Up till that time...it was Indian territory. The family got along quite well with the local Ute tribe there and the two girls grew up playing with the tribe children and learned much from the ways of Indians in that area and coexisted quite well....Until the Cattle Baron came along and decided to trample the town with politics and money. I probably know more about this story from my mother than history records.

Which brings me to the point that history of this era is told in stories ignited around campfires much like this one...coffee time and I'll be right back...there's a whole lot more to this and quite coincidentally I just got an email from an author who gifted me a book he wrote on the subject of Butch Cassidy....which I will be sharing in this long cowboy tale.

Having fun yet? I am!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahb3q1rptl8?list=PLtRu1Rq9lcO14q9Vljlznvm8 jQg1OTtbJ

[Shadowself]

So...where was I?

Oh yeah! As I got older I decided to check out this story my mother told me about Ann.

So I looked high and low and the first thing I saw the great likeness I have to the family! She and I could be sisters.

32433

I thought how cool! It turned out she was quite a remarkable woman back in the day. Also she was the on and off again girlfriend of Butch Cassidy! They were very close.

She is also rumored to be Etta Place...

http://images.mentalfloss.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_640x430/public/8328bassettplace_0.png

Now that is a remarkable likeness!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Bassett

Her sister Josie

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josie_Bassett

Josie told their story once and got her picture on the cover of the 1948 issue of Life Magazine. This is the picture they used..

http://www.bassettbranches.org/newsletters/2006/200609/josie.jpg

~

But how the stories flourish about this cowboy train robber and lovable bandit.

You see...Butch was rumored to be the Robin Hood of the old west. He did spread that money where he saw fit. He was not a killer...but a damned good get away artist that's for sure! A folk legend for sure.

So many stories surrounded the Wild Bunch as they were called were spread far and wide.

Butch and Sundance decided to go to South America and if the historians have their way they died in San Vincente.

But there were siting of Butch and Sundance all over the place after the fact. Wanted outlaws in hiding for sure.

Well I've been in contact with several of those historians and I've quite surprised them with some NEW details on the subject if it's provable that Butch and Sundance died in South America or not....Let's call it a "timeline"....

to follow....

[Shadowself]

So timelines....

So the idea to see if Butch made it out of South America I've done plenty of research.

Believe me there was plenty that made absolutely no sense! Particularly this South American Adventure. If they robbed a bank of 100 grand knowing that the Pinkerton Agency was on their trail in south America that money would have at that time lasted them a very long time. It would also be enough to pay off the local authorities to stage an event such as the death of Butch and Sundance.

Remember these guys were smart enough to evade the Pinkerton Detective Agency for how long?

So in my researching I found out something quite interesting!

Apparently Butch was sited in Alaska by Wyatt Earp.


Author Chatwin says that from 1915 on hundreds of people saw, or thought they saw, Cassidy in the United States. Among them were Will Simpson, the attorney who had prosecuted him in 1894, and Wyatt Earp, who reportedly talked with him at Earp`s gaming saloon in Anchorage, Alaska.

Really? Alaska? Now that is quite interesting because Ann's brother moved up there to Nome to mine gold. He (Anns brother) did well enough to purchase a ranch in the State of Washington...where Butch's sister Lula said he was living for a time in her book.

Now that is my direct family. My father was born and raised in Alaska and I believe I've shared that here at the fire.

Sam Bassett brother to Ann and Josie lived up there and would provide quite an excellent hiding place no?

But to date nobody has put this fact together but me. If you read some of the links I just gave you the Bassett Ranch in Browns Park was a favorite hiding place where he spent many good times with the family. Sam left Brown's Park and moved to Alaska.

So...I shared this and some other things I know about that to some of these accomplished "historians" that have theorized .....and they started sharing things with me. That is when I about fell out of my chair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Time lines and old photos are telling....and I'm about to tell yet another tale that is about to surface real soon of Butch Cassidy around some of those cowboy campfires!

32434


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hnz-2oWv5B4?list=RD_Kb7wZokLHQ

[Shadowself]

So...I've contacted several people who might have some interest in that fact and they were quite pleased to meet me and started sharing all kind of cool facts and photos.

One guy in particular wrote this HUGE book he sent me and signed to me personally and then he started emailing me photos.

There was this one that really took me back. It was a photo of a very young Butch and Ann together with a guy named "Speck" who was mentioned in the first video I provided a few days ago who would ferry the bandits and horses back and forth over the river.

Here it is:

32435

Well when I saw that photo I REALLY did fall out of my chair. Not because of Ann....But Butch. My eyes popped out of my head and my jaw dropped to the floor.

Why?

Because that photo bares a strong resemblance to my father!

I only have one photo of my father in uniform during his stay in the Service.

So I thought for a moment and started looking at family photos and started seeing that Cassidy resemblance all over the place! OMG! Butch and my son could be brothers!

So here is a three way image with me and my father....

32436

And my son....

32437
32438


I thought nah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Couldn't be! Could it?

Could Ann and Butch have had a child and she gave it to her brother Sam to raise? That would be my father.

So I inquired with the "historians" and authors...I need to know where Ann was in 1908 of December to be certain. 1908 was also the year of the gun battle and reported death of Butch Cassidy! How convenient! Etta place disappears....and them boys get killed. Butch is sited in Alaska by Wyatt Earp and what the heck!

R82OM5tzcrk

Green Grass and High tides hide the secret! It's a mystery!

I got an email dated today.....here is what the author said:


I was quite surprised at your revelation of the possibility that your father might have been the surreptitious child of Butch and Ann. Yet it should not be surprising. Their entire lives were wrapped in secrets. Ann almost certainly gave birth to Butch's daughter in SA and kept it a secret the rest of her life. She was not the kind to raise a child herself and soon farmed her out to be raised by another. The same could certainly have happened again with your father, for Ann and Butch remained close throughout their lives. If she had another child by him, she would certainly not have raised him herself, but would have likely found a home for him among relatives willing to keep her secret.

It is difficult to place Ann's whereabouts in 1908. She was at that time married to Hi Bernard (though it was a marriage in name only - they did not live together and by 1910 it was over). She married Bernard in 1904. In 1908 Ann was staying with her friend, Mrs. Baker, at the Baker House in Rock Springs, Wyoming; we know that certainly. However, she was traveling much of this time to avoid indictment for cattle rustling and could certainly have gone to Washington or Alaska. She was known to have been in Mexico with Butch. By 1911 she was back in Colorado, indicted on the cattle rustling charge.

So there is certainly potential for your suspicions and it would bear more research. It is difficult because they remained so secretive, and most of the people who knew Ann are now dead. I wish that Esther Campbell were still alive so I could ask her. She was Ann's closest friend in later years and knew most of her secrets. Esther was my dear friend and she imparted much information to me about Ann and Josie.

So, that's as much as I can tell you. It is hard to pin Ann down during 1908, other than her brief stay at the Baker House (a hotel-brothel combination much frequented by the Wild Bunch) in Rock Springs. By the way, Mrs. Baker also operated a similar establishment, also know as Baker House, in Craig, Colorado, where Ann and Butch often stayed.

I hope this helps. I would be much interested in your further thoughts on this, as well as photos of comparison. If I can be of help in any other way, just let me know.



Well folks .... It's another mystery to be told about the famous Butch Cassidy....to think he might be my grandfather was a shock for sure! But it's a great possibility.

There is a way to find out and I did contact Bill Bentonson who is a living relative of Butch and if he would be willing to do a DNA test we could find out. It's in the works if I can get him to is another thing.....I have spoken to him about this possibility.

Hope you all enjoyed this story! It definitely authentic!

[Shadowself]

On a side note update I sent the photos to the author/historian and here was his reply:


Thanks for the photos. I can certainly see the possibility of relationship, however it could not be definitively proven without a DNA comparison. Nevertheless, there is enough of a resemblance to encourage further investigation. With this in mind, I will continue to look for connections and/or clues that might help to make such a determination. It is definitely intriguing!

And on that note I loved the Aerosmith version of Back in the saddle and it reminded me of a song. Thanks Calz!


With all the things going on in the world today it sure seems like living on the edge!

So anybody have any good dreams lately to share around the fire?

Come on....I know you got em...give em up!

Whoa!!!!!!!!!

[Meggings]

"When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, what dreams may come..."

I saw the wedding of Lincoln and Mary Todd, and was taken by a pleated pink silk bonnet very like this one. I was sort of bobbing along and assume I was an orb, since I had a very good view of the hats the ladies were wearing.

3244432445

32446

I've seen Lincoln moving about in his life on quite a few timeline trips, and have been beside him in an energy body as he fled the White House into the dark night alone, in order to regain his composure. I was aware of supportive energy being sent him through my body, and was also aware of him receiving it.

And then once years ago I stumbled upon photos of Benjamin Franklin's London house, and was gob-smacked - a "stepping outside of time" kind of thing - at seeing a staircase I remembered. I knew I'd been on those stairs and seen that window on the landing.
32443

In following years one timeline travel I took was to see Thomas Paine in England after the Revolutionary War. He was wearing a grey wool wesket, and his white cravat was loosely tied, being in the process of coming undone. He was explaining why had had left America after the war. Essentially it was because he thought he could do more good from Europe. I had a sense he had been blocked somehow in the colonies.

[Lost N Found]

Shadowself, Such great stories about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. I love the old west stories. I think I was born to late or I was part of the old west and just came back here. I do not have pictures of way back then that I can share at the moment but do have some very interesting roots that go back into the 1800;s here in the great southwest. Love the research you have done to connect. I could call you Annie. My twin flame has a very close friend that can shoot very well and I call her Annie Oakley all the time. She wins awards for her shooting skills. This is still the wild west and most I know do fall into this cowboy and outlaw scene.

Meggings you gave some wonderful histories also. I see you on the horses. Shucks would be so much to just ride horses. I do dream about that quite often. Well here is someone that just says hello
Keep sending the wonderful experiences and stories, Perfect around this campfire.

Good Morning! :coffee:

Sipping my first coffee for the new year I reflect:

Striving for unity. In all aspects of life would be a grand goal!

Whatcha think? I'm hopeful! It also requires action in all things you do.

Being a bit of a rabble rouser myself at times this will require some decorum! Can I hang?

I certainly hope so!

[Meggings]

Calz, thank you for the video. The images of dolphins and whales reminds me of the crystalline dolphins who appeared before me once in a higher dimension, and who performed a slow sinuous dance of greeting and honouring. I remember a night this past year when I was out-of-body working with others, and we accompanied the Whale energy and the Dolphin energy and brought them anew into the reconstructed energy grids of earth.

And I have just remembered what I used to know but had momentarily forgotten, that Dolphin was honoured on earth, and that temples were built in which people understood this.

Thank you. And forgive if I have been slightly incoherent, for words are so clumsy to convey meaning.

Here I would like also to honour Lionhawk and Shadowself and John Trudell, and all who strive for the higher and the better in this difficult world.

[Lost N Found]

Shadowself, your thread tribute to John trudell is totally wonderful. I shed tears and felt joy knowing that he did catch his ride away from this pain. Thank you dear Brook.
Calz you put that song here and it brought me to tears also.
It is the season for heart felt tears. Having the damn break can cause the healing to begin. Here is one that brings me to tears also think of John and his wisdoms when I hear it.

Thanks Steven!

It was a labor of love! I grew up following him and until just recently Lionhawk had never heard of him until I posted a video here on December 1st I think it was. Then 7 days later he died of terminal cancer. It showed in my last post that it had taken it's toll. The first post was from his writings weeks before he died. I didn't know he died until New Years day. I was so overcome I had to do that as a three day tribute.

Anyhow Lionhawk insisted I add this video to his thread because he liked it a lot.

Yo all. Catching up the thread that is kind of cool Shadowself having that connection infamous historical figures... and possible other connections! I'm wishing everyone well. I was having an obsessive creative phase and it went well. Feeling that I achieved and got good learning. If it was a house I was building it would look ok and function fine as a house but the plumbing and wireing would be a mess, like someone had hardly ever done plumbing or wireing. I knew it would suck but still had to have a go and get stuck in, making action doing typing learning being a beginer again. Having friends and family play it recharged me. I'm ready to re-build it from scratch using what I've learned but not in a manic way, the compulsion subsided. I've got to have a rest and process thoughts and feelings before my learning is complete. Manic obsession is so 2015. Here's to being lazy! cheers

At the risk of this coming across as a braggart, this is one of the original Yodas. It’s at George Lucas’ “SkyWalker Ranch”, in Nacisio, California. This one is in the building where George’s office is located.


http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/Yoda_zpsjwmcjlls.JPG

The ranch is huge. It encompasses the business aspects, organic farm and animals, wine vineyards, three dinning facilities, fully equipped fire house and staff, softball field for staff leagues, indoor and outdoor pools, work out facilities that includes basketball courts, dance hall and a fitness center and a whole lot more. There are accommodations for those that come to use the facilities for things like music, writing, special effects and all such magic.

My sister and her husband were the ranch managers for about 25 years. They lived there. So I got to spend a lot of vacation time there. My brother-in-law is still a part of it. Mostly PR stuff. I’ve met George Lucas several times and two of his children. And enjoyed his company over dinner with my sister and brother-in-law.

This is my son with an original headdress from “Indiana Jones, Temple of Doom”.

[Meggings]

This morning I had an interesting experience of perceiving my ego as separate from the bigger me. Thought I'd share. As I lay abed before arising, I did the ho'oponopono thing of "I'm sorry, please forgive me..." in which I petition Divinity to remove from me old memory tapes and data that prevent me from seeing the other as perfect.

Interestingly, I felt a nub of resistance in me to this, and I looked down and inward as it were to perceive the source of this resistance, and there it was - a small greyish cloud of energy that was stubbornly holding on to its pain and outrage at being harmed by this one I was working to forgive.

From my vantage point I realized how small this ego is compared to the bigness of "me", and I easily overrode its resistance and was able with clarity to proceed with the ho-oponopono of asking forgiveness for MY old stuff.

Without holding on to the pain and trauma and outrage of being broken and harmed, I would indeed and truly see those I hold "responsible" as perfect.

This is the secret to seeing with Christ vision, in which all is perfect. It can take one's breath away when it happens.

[Heartsong]

Thank you Megs. I have a mantra of sorts that calms me when I hurt or when my world seems chaotic. "All is as it should be." It takes me out of ownership of problems or dealing with problematic people and places me in the role of an observer.

I'm not the victim then, I'm a participant without full understanding.

Good mornings and afternoons. Lets have coffee

http://thumbor.faveable.com/unsafe/full-fit-in/240x240/assets/1145/faves/give-your-liver-a-break-1420658511

My friend poped round last night. He's a grounded, reserved kind of guy on the surface but thinks the same way as us. We've talked about UFO's, war propoganda in the press etc. The whole shebang. He doesn't need to talk about it alot like I do, I almost didn't notice we shared similar thinking. But he brought a question to me last night, this is unusual. He said "I've been seeing alot of a subject around the internet and it's concerning" I answerered off the bat "Flat earth?". He asked me why people believe this? why when it's possible to prove the earth isn't flat? He went on ranting methods for proving the earth a sphere (not round I pedantically said because flat earthers are fine with a round flat earth). I told him this forum has to deal with these arguments regularly, as has the rest of the whateverwearecalled-community in general.. Whent he subject arrives it challenges the credabilty of where ever it lands.

This is how I think of it: when one has a life of trusting the main media and government institutions, and that trust is shattered .. there's a kind of general re-discernment that happens that discounts and is repulsed by information from media and government institutions. And suddenly these folks are repulsed by evidance in general. It's like information from mainstream media was their only one single source for opinion and evidance, and in loosing that the only thing to trust is mis-trust. Scientific method is a casualty too if it's not been lost already. Scientific method isn't responsible for coffee but I'm sure it's helped the coffee I drink.

We're having significant rain in south UK today. Doesn't look so bad over the next five days. After those floods in the north recently, and the floods we had a few years ago I'm keeping an eye on forcasts

Good Morning all. Calz the snow blower tractor was sweet I drove around all day but the snow just kept falling. YoYoYo I remember having a tv once. Made such a great target one day with 9 milometer rounds and then a friend pulled out his semi auto 12 gauge and that was the end of it. Gave up the boob tube and radio news and dove into research on this internet well gotta be discerning there also. Enough of that. Here is a great song to listen to in the morning. Dear Paula the marsh mellows are wonderful sitting around the fire and watching them catch fire and then eating them when hot. Oh yes the song,

And here are the lyrics to this song

Sometimes your life can be sidetracked
Getting lost in things you don't need
But we all lose direction
In a world of greed
People's lives end in ruin
Some people's lives never start
Someone knows what you're doing
Deep in your heart
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
There's a world never ending
Sorrow and pain don't exist
We can live there together
You can't resist
'Cause when you think you can't take it
Dreams disappear into space
Trust in your heart, you can make it
When you're living, living in a state of grace
Nothing worse than sorrow
Of loved ones you have lost
You can't face tomorrow
You can't bear the cross
Just remember that darkness
In this world has no place
You've got so much to give now
You're living
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved by the spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
In the hour of need you stood ready
Looked danger right in the face
Your heart is moved [Incomprehensible] spirit
When you're living, living in a state of grace
Living, state of grace
Oh, oh, state of grace
Baby, when you are living
[Incomprehensible]
Hey, hey, living
Living, living, oh, oh, yeah, oh
[Incomprehensible], hey
Living in a state of grace

I come from a very long lineage of tea drinkers on both the Scottish and the Chinese side.

Whilst I don't actually drink "tea" because I am very sensitive to caffeine, I do like a "cuppa o' chai"

http://blog.oregonchai.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/oregon-chai-dirty-chai-recipe.jpg

My memories of the weekly conversations between my late Scottish Grandfather John to my late grandmother Louisa. sigh...

"Louey, bring me a cuppa o chai" To which my grandmother would always reply in her very best, very cross English accent, high-pitched, squealing with the indignity of it all. "Yes John!" To which he would then respond with a fond slap to her behind (Secret Scottish love token - they had 13 kids).
My Grandmother never failed to make me giggle when she would say without fail "OH JOHN, NOT IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN!" I still hear it now...
My Grandfather was very deaf and toothless. He was also a sailor for the Scottish Navy. So imagine if you will, a giant six-foot-something of a man, naked from the waist up (because he had migrated to the searing heat of Perth in Western Australia at the age of 65 and it was too hot to even wear a singlet) huge faded eagle tattooed across his chest, thundering out his commands in his toothless Orkney Isles Scottish accent, Lucky Strike fag hanging from the lips and spittle flying... to a very genteel, tiny slip of an English woman.
I was the apple of his eye however, and to this day, whenever I drink a cup o' chai, I think of that great loving man who brought his whole family out to Western Australia for a better life and had to lie to do it because he was too old otherwise.

Just dropping in to say Namaste, not from the dark cold winter of Scotland but from sunny India where I am enjoying my morning Masala Chai at this moment.

[Meggings]

Fell into a fey mood of quietude as I worked with colours and design tonight. Suddenly these two songs, playing quietly in the background, raised my emotions so high I was transported. Perhaps it is the late hour, the cold winter night out the window, or the beckoning of lost love that my soul yearns for. I know not the source, but my heart YEARNS towards something not quite here, but known even though absent.

These are not rousing songs as many posted are. These are strongly quiet, suiting the needs of a hurting heart.
This first shows some mettle in an older gentleman standing in a holiday shopping street in Holland, to sing from his heart.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3X5badNBz0


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs5-iJxDqhQ


ADDED HOURS LATER:
It is hours later, and this fey mood morphed into a night of not sleeping. My mind roamed over the earth and felt its pain, the anguish of its people and living things here. And fiats arose in me spoken to the Almighty God that this shall not be. That the land and sea and air shall be purified, and that life everywhere be supported and expanded in joy as intended by the Creator. I decreed that evil shall not stand, and that I as an electrode of the Divine here in manifestation had called forth the intended perfection.

As a child of the Most High God I issue the fiat of truth, of purity and freedom for all. No longer shall we, the children of God, the animals that swim in the seas, the animals slaughtered for food, the birds that sing, the plants whose blueprints radiate perfection but are blighted by toxic conditions - no longer shall we allow the perfection that is life to be destroyed. I stand and issue this fiat - let perfection return to earth! So be it.

Dear lovely Meggings your post above with the two videos did stir the heart, I actually had tears from listening. Your moments of loss or being lost I can understand from my own heart. I have seen and read the touching sorrows and happiness around this fire and it brings sorrows and pains right through this little time machine. I can only send my love and hugs to you and prayers.

I have to post something here that has been playing in my thoughts my heart my spirit. Have been writing in the thread that Zionbrion started called A Story we all write and it has cast me into some very deep emotions. It has brought out some very profound thoughts. This story is being carried on by zionbrion and breal and other folks. My twin flame has listened to me and read some of this and she is thrilled. So anyway, what I say here is something that happened to me a week or so ago and I did not want to wake from it. I was dreaming that I was dreaming and in that dream I would go to sleep and someone would come to the light. I saw the lights and the people that would move into the light. my feeling was that they were awakening. So I would wake up in this dream and then go back into the dream and someone else would come to light. This all was real to me. That dream is still so vivid to me now.

So I am writing in this story and I am listening to an album that was done in 1974 by Justin Hayward and John Lodge well this song came on and now I am thinking of that dream within a dream and the story comes forth even stronger. So here is that song.

[Limor Wolf]

Sifting through endless shadows that sneaked into my earthly citizenship this life time, and with a basket well full and loaded, there is something which may really help that I dicovered last year. It is a technique that uses an Energy emotional "wash-out" to help the body heal from any hidden traumas and stresses (by releasing stuck energy) and it can be done in a relatively short time. (this can even be done near the camp fire!)

The main purpose is to open the blocks in the chackras and allow the energy to flow freely all over the body. Many super sensitive people like us accumulate this type of emotions inside where it is being stored in the cells and tissues for many years and can cause blockages which eventually may be translated into disease or the carry of emotional heavy weight.

The most useful, easy to apply, do it at home method is TRE (http://traumaprevention.com/)- Tension and Trauma Release Excercise, by the method of David Bercelli, it can be done everyday between five minutes to 30 minutes and more, depends of the amount of stress we hold within ourselves.

The basics are simple, in order to begin the energetic wave that shakes the body there's a need to weaken the leg and hip muscles and allow them to be loose. This can be done by a set of easy six excercises (I do three which immediatly starts the shakings), then you lay down on the floor when your feet are in a certain position and let the tremor happen naturally. (see below video)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPFbXdSGSkc
A couple more of the beginning excersices can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27VgK0LrR3Q

But for a more in-depth specific inner work (can be done by the camp fire alone or in pairs :)), the Quanta freedom healing technique- takes us back to feel the emotions and the issues behind it in order to dive deep into the belief that hold us and be able to release it or experience a relief. Here is a youtube demonstration with the founder Melanie Tonia Evans

Dear Ones,
I am tired. I hurt. I am being treated for rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, tranquilizers and gabapentin. (at least I’m getting some sleep!).

It is not one thing that is bothering me but the coming together of so many things. Mom is 95 and resisting going to assisted living. When she moves I am responsible for distributing or taking all of her stuff. However, when she first moves she must go to a temporary room and store (read my house) until she gets a private room where which could be anywhere from one to six months. She is blind in one eye and nearly deaf in both ears. I take care of getting her to the Dr, getting her what groceries she needs (she doesn’t like eating in the dining room) and overseeing her finances, investments, and taxes.

To add to my concerns is my only sibling, my older brother. He is 69 is on a very adequate pension including a subsidized insurance plan - to of the line. He has a tremor that over the last 10 years has progressed up his left side and onto his face. Many times I’ve seen both sides of his body in tremor. He also hasn’t seen a dentist in 35 years and is loosing teeth. He just bought himself a $40K car and a $1000 Brookes brother’s suit.
He doesn’t go to the dr because “I don’t want to and you can’t make me”.
He wants to leave all of his money to my son. (That’s ok with me, I have my own money.) But he won’t make a will. My son, the one who would get the money, is an attorney who has coached him in what he needs to do. He can even handwrite one and have it legal in this state. Meanwhile he is oblivious to Mom’s needs and no help to me what so ever. He selectively answers the telephone and will not reply to emails, ever. No one, even his best friend has been inside his apartment for 20 year. He undergoes and inspection by the supervisor and is always advised that he has thirty days to clean it up or be evicted. The city health department was there last summer.

Last year my husband’s derelict brother lived with us for 10 months. Since he’s never had a job he’s not eligible for Social security. My husband went into a depression where he just couldn’t act. My husband had promised his mother that he’d take care of “poor Jon”. And brother Jon did not so much as lift a telephone on his own behalf. He’s living off an inheritance from his father and will be destitute by the time he’s 70.

This morning I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was ready to grab my car keys and just keep going. But no, Mom couldn’t get her computer to work. and she’d been waiting 3 days while I was getting over the flu. And she hadn’t heard from her sister for 2 weeks.

I cry a lot. I don't think I've said the word F**k more than four times in my life but over the last months I've begun to swear like a sailor denied shore leave. I've been hurt and now I'm hurting back.

I want to sing. I want to sing for someone, for lots of people. I want them to want to hear me sing. But not even my family inquires about my singing.

Later this year, husband and I will go on a cruise or pack up the RV and travel about the US and Canada…that is if nobody “needs” us to pick up their pieces.

No question it's a complex situation, Heartsong. Let go of the stuff that you can't change.

My wish for you is to carve out time every day for what’s precious to you, it alters the spin on the rest of the day.

Sing. Don’t wait for your family to inquire. Sing. Even if there’s no audience.



Nancy and her audience.

My dear Heartsong. Your pain and sorrow are shut away. I can see that you feel trapped and you are sister. There is a cage and it so needs to be opened. Your mother is moving towards the light and she will be free from this one day. She is fighting now but will soon see that light and the fighting is no longer. I watched and stood by my Father and mother both while they fought and then it was as it that pain was released. I know I have that in me still and I choose to accept it from them so they could let it go. That is just momma and daddy. You said you want to sing. RunningDeer is right on. You must sing and you must sing and you must sing. The audience does not matter. The song is yours. It is a key that opens the cage doors. Grieve sister and let your tears wash the soul/spirit clean. So many brothers and sisters can hold you and they can console you. I have tears so many for the piles of troubles you have defined. We all must fill these voids with love. You must sing. please sing there is something that must be released and your singing. Stand and sing to the heavens sister. I will give just one piece of music and it is for you.

Dear Ones,
I am tired. I hurt. I am being treated for rheumatoid arthritis with methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, tranquilizers and gabapentin. (at least I’m getting some sleep!).

It is not one thing that is bothering me but the coming together of so many things. Mom is 95 and resisting going to assisted living. When she moves I am responsible for distributing or taking all of her stuff. However, when she first moves she must go to a temporary room and store (read my house) until she gets a private room where which could be anywhere from one to six months. She is blind in one eye and nearly deaf in both ears. I take care of getting her to the Dr, getting her what groceries she needs (she doesn’t like eating in the dining room) and overseeing her finances, investments, and taxes.

To add to my concerns is my only sibling, my older brother. He is 69 is on a very adequate pension including a subsidized insurance plan - to of the line. He has a tremor that over the last 10 years has progressed up his left side and onto his face. Many times I’ve seen both sides of his body in tremor. He also hasn’t seen a dentist in 35 years and is loosing teeth. He just bought himself a $40K car and a $1000 Brookes brother’s suit.
He doesn’t go to the dr because “I don’t want to and you can’t make me”.
He wants to leave all of his money to my son. (That’s ok with me, I have my own money.) But he won’t make a will. My son, the one who would get the money, is an attorney who has coached him in what he needs to do. He can even handwrite one and have it legal in this state. Meanwhile he is oblivious to Mom’s needs and no help to me what so ever. He selectively answers the telephone and will not reply to emails, ever. No one, even his best friend has been inside his apartment for 20 year. He undergoes and inspection by the supervisor and is always advised that he has thirty days to clean it up or be evicted. The city health department was there last summer.

Last year my husband’s derelict brother lived with us for 10 months. Since he’s never had a job he’s not eligible for Social security. My husband went into a depression where he just couldn’t act. My husband had promised his mother that he’d take care of “poor Jon”. And brother Jon did not so much as lift a telephone on his own behalf. He’s living off an inheritance from his father and will be destitute by the time he’s 70.

This morning I just couldn’t take it anymore. I was ready to grab my car keys and just keep going. But no, Mom couldn’t get her computer to work. and she’d been waiting 3 days while I was getting over the flu. And she hadn’t heard from her sister for 2 weeks.

I cry a lot. I don't think I've said the word F**k more than four times in my life but over the last months I've begun to swear like a sailor denied shore leave. I've been hurt and now I'm hurting back.

I want to sing. I want to sing for someone, for lots of people. I want them to want to hear me sing. But not even my family inquires about my singing.

Later this year, husband and I will go on a cruise or pack up the RV and travel about the US and Canada…that is if nobody “needs” us to pick up their pieces.

I'll do some Ho'oponopono for you and all your family Heartsong.

[Meggings]

Yes, Breal, good idea. Here is a photo for Heartsong, and for every blessed one of us when we need picking up a bit.

This was sent to me from a friend today, with the words, "Take that, devil..."

[Heartsong]

Thank you my friends. You are nearly unbelievable. I can't ever remember such an outpouring of caring.

I woke up in tears again but life goes on. Mom wants me to bring her her credit card. I had to have it replaced because of some fraudulent charges on it. She says she doesn't feel complete without it......just where this little ol' lady thinks she's going to go and what she thinks she's going to buy is beyond me. I got angry with her via email and simply said "No", I'll bring it next time I come." This is way bitchy of me. I see Karma staring down and taking notes. If I'm not a good girl I'll be left abandoned.
Love Nancy.

[Lost N Found]

See! just some smiles and had to smile when you said that this morning. Momma gonna take that card and catch a bus LOL. Bit of healing there dear songbird.

I'll give a song for all here this morning.

Hi everyone.
I hope you are looking after yourself Heartsong. It is not a selfish act to take time out and reclaim your strength. Otherwise you just end up giving everything away with no energy left to even crawl away. Then how can you care for others if you are not taking care of yourself first and foremost. I have been looking after my mum suffering from Alzheimer's for the last two years. Moved in and 24/7 care until it was beyond my capabilities to look after her. I got doctors and social workers involved and now she is settled in a lovely care home which she now believes has always been her home anyway. I could not have done this a few years ago when she still had some wits about her. But the time was right when it was time.

Hence my first break away in 10years. In sunny India.

Thought I would share how this guy is making use of waste plastic bottles. He is building a boat. He has just began and has a long way to go.

And about that boat...hand me a life jacket!

We're turning
flesh and body
Into soul


The Waterboys - Strange Boat
x-NXwRUQcmg

We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
We're sailing on a strange boat
Heading for a strange shore
Carrying the strangest cargo
That was ever hauled aboard

We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
We're sailing on a strange sea
Blown by a strange wind
Carrying the strangest crew
That ever sinned

We're riding in a strange car
We're followin' a strange star
We're climbing on the strangest ladder
That was ever there to climb

We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're living in a strange time
Working for a strange goal
We're turning flesh and body
Into soul



[Calz]

Ah good ... a music break :)

Look at the pure joy on this guys face ...

Isn't this part of what is so amazing about humanity???

We need to always hold that in our heart when witnessing what the "dark" wishes to remove from us.

This is particularly for Lionhawk and Shadowself. I've felt desire to hear from you guys, and reach out. Wondering how eyes are doing, and hope these pictures can be seen okay. The first I have called "A FRIEND" and most of Christmas Day was spent working on it (along with many other days - I am slow when I create little things).

The second is the result of spillage of a bottle of turquoise phthalo liquid, and in sopping up what I could save, five different boards got intense turquoise on them. This is the first reconstructed spillage, which he eldest son said should be named "WELL, HELLO THERE!" - no doubt because of the gold eyelashes.

Both pieces are ready for an acrylic pour to be done on them. Once I obtain that self-levelling gel, I shall finish them with the crystal clear glass-like coating that I like.

I pass them around the fire, being a token work of my hands and energy from my heart. I close with heartfelt good wishes to all, and trust all are doing well, that all things are good and better and best for each of us.

Meggings!

Absolutely beautiful....We both thank you and love them. Thank you for sharing.

We've been away for a bit due to the storm and I had a really bad cold that put be down for a good week. Better now and Lionhawk's eyes are really bad now. He's mostly unable to function and see with the computer. so you guys are stuck with me for awhile until we can figure out some way for him to communicate...we will somehow.

We did put your artwork on the big screen for him to see and he said great job! Wonderful it brings joy to his heart...so from us to you and everyone by the fire...

It is GOOD to hear from you Shadowself, and Lionhawk. Thanks for the rousing music. Just the energy I need to get me to clear off the three-foot-high piles of art supplies from my couch. Need to see what I have, what ideas were partially worked on, see what I never quite finished so I can finish them.

An energy is released upon the completion of a project, and that facilitates the ability to move forward with other new ideas. It is along the lines of getting rid of "stagnant information" that prevents action - when we accumulate reams of information but do not ACT on it, energies stagnate in a sense.

I greatly appreciate you putting up the images on a big screen for Lionhawk to see. Bless you...bless all.

Here is the second spillage board reconstructed - needing still self-levelling gel poured onto it. Call this one "NIGHT SKY".

Shadowself, have you and Lionhawk investigated the various software options for people who can't see? Forgive me if I'm too slow and you've been there done that. I'll take the liberty of sharing my tiny knowledge:

I was aware of some software development approaches that accomodated such users. A superficial google search I've just done (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=audio+reading+software+for+the+blind+broswer&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=u2imVs7UGoT3UqmZj-gI#safe=off&q=audio+reading+software+for+the+blind+browser) listed browsers and software claiming to help. I'm guessing alot of these are a load of tosh but there might be a prince among the frogs

You might also check governmental resources info about available hardware or other assistance. My mom is deaf and was able to get a special phone "on loan" from the state.

[Heartsong]

Hello campfire family. I'm reporting in to say that I'm better. I've got my feet back under me and can do what needs to be done.
Mom has agreed to move to assisted living. She moves in 6 weeks which means I have 10 weeks to pack up her things for storage or donation or whatever and vacate the apartment.
I can pack boxes and husband is good at fetching and carrying. Hopefully other members of the family will lend a hand.
And life goes on.
All your kind wishes and prayers have helped so much.

[Shadowself]

Hay guys!

Thanks for the tips! I'll def look into it!

Heartsong I wanted to say I hope all is well...sometimes you just can't do it all by yourself and I can so appreciate what you're going through....My mother had Alzheimer disease and I took care of her the last 5 years of her life....it was one of the hardest thing I ever had to do watching her disintegrate in front of my eyes while taking care of her which was very difficult.

My prayers are with you!

Meggings,

Personally I favor "Night Sky" for the colors in it are some of my favorite and the blend with texture is very appealing to me.

LH says hi and I just bought him a pair of strong reading glasses which seem to help for close up so he can at least read some. He'll have to put his face up to the computer screen....but the problem is it fluctuates so it's not consistent. Lots of peripheral side shadows as he describes it comes into play and creates focusing issues.

Perhaps I should send him to my personal optometrist?

:cool:

:facepalm:

Anyhow thanks guys....I'm hoping perhaps these glasses will help for a bit? We'll see and I will check into some of those tips. Thanks YoYoYo and Heartsong!

In the meantime...I'm feeling good by my baby's side!

Meggings, I really loved your "night sky" artwork too.

It is the colours. There is something about those colours...

Shadowself, you never cease to amaze me with how uplifted and upbeat you remain in the face of the challenges and the experiences you have come up against.

I love your courage. :bowing:

Here is a little something I came across that completely astonished and confounded me and I had to post it here for you...

I have all my fingers and my toes crossed for LH...

I'm going to throw a log on the fire. I love standing aimlessly around a fire, that's why I'm here. My comradry with this thread is a reflection of my comradry with the forum as a whole. A campfire is one of my best places.

http://www.cybercauldron.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/yule-log.jpg

I can't remember when I started taking an interest in taboo subjects like aliens, metaphysics and corporate and political wars, meditation and . Oh yes hang on I do it was my dad and from an early age too. And the subject was fascinating... pictures of ancient model airplanes, stones seemingly beyond engineering as we expected, etc. All of it. And growing up as a teenager in the 1980's friends would talk about UFOs and Roswell. Little grey aliens. In the 80's grandpa told us a story. This was my nice grandpa I grew up with not the nasty natural grandfather I went on about before and never met.

Grandpa was driving through Africa with grandma and my young aunt. It was night and they were driving near to what grandpa described as a gigantic lake large enough to be spotted from space probably. He was driving on a road in pitch black in the middle of nowhere between two towns and something up ahead caught the lights. It was two people in metalic suits looking like they were having trouble walking. Grandpa said he slowed down because it was unusual. He said it was possible they were bandits because that happened. But he saw something that made him put his foot to the floor and drive full speed to the destination town. He said these metalic suited people that had trouble walking had waist belts taller than the car. They were ludicrously tall. He said if he wasn't with his new family it would have been different, he might have got out and said hello but who knows? He never drew a conclusion but we all did.. aliens! This was the 80's and aliens were meant to be short greys with big eyes so the story didn't really make sense. But it added to the mystery!

And years went on and I lost interest in such things and had a great time partying hard. Then ten years after the disclosure project 2001 I watched the disclosure project 2001. Also hearing what Charles Hall had to say I took a second look at those memories. Grandpa wasn't known for bull****, accurate and amazing stories, always entertaining but never made up. So this story was hard to digest because they weren't greys. Turns out it's probably both sorts and much more. He said there were always ufo type lights round that area in Africa around Christmas.
