Nice!! unfortunately, when i think dreams in this context (American media), I'm reminded of this one (please no one with virgin ears listen and complain, lots of bad words):
"Mr. Reaper Babylon the great
The mother of heartless is falling, prophecy must be fulfilled
The liquor fire is calling" ~ Outkast, "Gasoline Dreams"
Sober flow, but Outkast always comes hard. That is indeed one perception and experience of the American Dream. Mine is a just a bit different, given different life conditions. As is yours, even as they are all occurring within the same metanarrative and overriding paradigmatic structuring of institutions and cultural mores.
Co-creation is something else, right??? We are all making it, even as it looks so different from our sublimated perspectives, there is still commonality...
Indeed, though I was thinking more about the hook:
We'll snap for your slice of life I'm tellin' ya why
I hear that mother nature's now on birth control
The coldest pimp be looking for somebody to hold
The highway up to Heaven got a crook on the toll
Seems like deception plays a big role in our current co-creation, and nothing is that "clearer" to see than what we choose for entertainment...
We do indeed choose it. They go by ratings, right? So the preponderance of shows dealing with these issues do tell us something about ourselves. At the same time, they are telling us about what the Controllers wish to imprint upon the collective consciousness. Shows filled with violence, sex, disutopian themes, technology, magic.Quote:

Themes that are ubiquitous to the human experience and seem to always have been. Fear of the Now, fear of the future, fear of each other, fear of the Unknown. Is something different, or is this more of the same ol same ol? The same programming, updated to include the increasing availabliity of information and the growing realization that there is more to the world than is spoken of in our public philosophy...a paradigmatic shift is in occurance and perhaps the PTB are attempting to mediate it and shift it as they can toward a violent and mind-centered rather than pacifistic and heart-centered response...this dichotomous formulation of course being inadequate and conditional rather than universal in application...
Ahhh, the age old question: does art imitate life, or do the controllers completely implant what they want us to think in art (and life)?
The way in which people and objects precede each other seems closely related to the language of synchronicities.
It's attention and presence that allows you to see the sign and read it. When we read a sign post we think so we can know how to process the symbol or word correctly.
Long ago people abandoned physical objects for communicating and replaced them with a picture/drawing of the objects, makes the travelling easier. Then the drawings were replaced by symbols. The symbols evolved into increasingly more distant depictions of their objects. Then they fragmented into the semi-abstract letters with which words are composed as verbal pictures of the objects/ideas.
This fragmentation persists. In the future we might continue breaking down and simplifying visual representation congruent to the speed with which human intelligence evolves. In the end we might be left with dots that we will successfully connect (the blind are one step ahead).
With language you refer to something and this idea then follows in the mind of your audience. Your words precede the idea, but the idea was first created by you and then it became a reference and then for whoever heard it a copy of the original idea.
This makes language so special. This new language I'm trying to understand seems to have some grammar to it. In a relative clause the antecedent puts you on track. You can deduce the second part only if you paid attention in the beginning.
We might be on to something here.
What is the difference between art and life? Could art be considered to be fractal in nature? A slightly different dimensional perspective, represented archetypally, envisioned alternate timelines or universes, representative of infinite expression in a multiverse of eternally shifting potentialities?
I think it is possible for implanting to occur, but then, are the Controllers "not" us? Considering the wide diversity of who "we" are? Could they be releasing, rather than implanting, ideas, memes, that are already within us? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Does it even matter? Or is it a question of Prime Cause, and, if so, what does this tell us about the nature of imagination and creativity, the nature of consciousness itself? If the Universe is Mind, then perhaps there is no difference and all that Is, Must Be. The Elite are not separate from us, as we are not separate from Creation itself. The dream, co-created, Is Life, is Consciousness, is the Multiverse exploring itself, intent upon manifesting all forms of possibility.
TAKE Control!!!
The language of synchronciities...YES! :)Quote:

That is so exactly right. A language spoken by the sky, the wind, the animals and bugs, the waters and the earth...formulated into intelligent design by interlocked consciousnesses of differing levels of experience and dimensional habitation. In African-descended traditions that stemmed first from the Ba-Twa (Pygmies) then moved up thru Nubia into the Nile, and then in every conceivable direction from there but most particularly into West Africa and the tradition of Ifa, which birthed Vodun (Voodoo), Santeria, Candomble here in the Americas, the Honored Ancestors are a very real presence who shift the world around us in order to send us msgs, who cause the beads and shells to fall in certain patterns, who affect the good and the bad things that occur in our lives. This language of synchronicities is a language that is indeed universal and that we can approximate it in our understanding is such a major gift and blessing...depending, as you say, upon ...
The clarity necessary to achieve this degree of Nowness and Presence is legendary. LOL That degree of concentration and release from the cascade of thoughts is prodigious, but the gradual evolution toward that clarity remains mandatory.Quote:

I agree. It would be interesting to attempt in some way to approximate this grammar. Signs, symbols, exist and occur whether we understand them or not. It would be contextual and dependent to some extent upon common human understandings, perhaps sub-conscious in nature, like the symbols of dreams.Quote:

Well, they are not ME, I continue to prove that in through the episode today, in dealing with someone that totally NEEDS to be controller of everything, a Yertle the Turtle is there ever was one.Quote:

This jam started on TV and went to dreams, which reminds me of Inception…the controllers are those that allowed a parasite, an idea, that control enhances their experience, that no one else’s experience matters.
That is not me. I watch, like you—to learn about a phenomenon I can’t understand because it is not a part of my being. It is not a distraction to me, it is a window into ideas. I can’t get on board with the idea that deception is a way to realize an experience you believe you want. It is not who I am. I don’t think the type of creature I am is unique, in fact, I am convinced we are being tricked into believing that very thought: that we are responsible for all that we find ourselves in.
I feel it is my personal responsibility to change the reality to one with less deception. I am called to seek out self-deception, and to project that outwards, finding similar creatures who are not satisfied living in lies.
I hear ya, Donk. Sovereignty could mean ultimate responsibility for ones own beliefs, decisions and actions. Even in choosing to live a lie, people are expressing their sovereignty with their choice to do so, even if it is the same choice made by many millions or billions of others. The extent to which we are each responsible for our conscious decision-making process is another question with a morass of answers available, competing and even contradictory in nature and also dependent upon the extent to which we apply understandings of Higher Selfs, Soul Groups and other forms of Collectivity which inform our individuated decision-making processes. Deep and confusing. LOLQuote:

Like Eaglespirit said, taking control is important. Kudos on you for finding one of your purposes. Perhaps your clarity is stemming from your Soul Group and all of those like you are now gathering to do exactly this. It is time, right? :)
:wizard:
I do not understand this picture. I have seen it several times. Seems I remember someone telling me once that skeletons with daisies/flowers represent ancestors. That's not what I think of when I look at it. I thought I would look up an answer to my own question(s), but can't find anything satisfactory.Quote:

Anyone?
PurpleLama, what is the meaning of that tea drinking skeleton?
You are being overly cryptic...har har....
Changing the subject to return to some clarity:

Ask Mark, he brought it up....
That, is the Happy Ancestor.
With the recent life change, I hadn’t realize how much I obsessively checked my email. And now that I don’t need to be on-call, I unplugged my phone. The silence is wonderful from all those “do not call” calls.
I forgot that I went down for a nap, and woke up several hours later in the dark. I thought it was early morning.
Life’s a funny game.
Turrialba is still smoking. The evening news show videos of farmers brushing the ashes off of the backs of their cows and horses. Brave scientists sitting on the edge of the smoking crater. And lots of photos.
Like this one, taken from the summit of a mountain to he south of us.

What I have read this evening about ancestors did not bring me closer to understanding. I did read some interesting stuff on the Day of the Dead celebration, and about why skulls and skeletons are decorated for that. One website reminded me that death will come to us all, no one escapes - which is an ultimate justice for those who do not like the inequities of this world at present, which may also be a reason to make skeletons look...joyous. Then I found stuff like this: “Frankly, our ancestors don't seem much to brag about. I mean, look at the state they left us in, with the wars, the broken planet. Clearly, they didn't care about what would happen to the people who came after them.” ― Suzanne Collins
Just like everything else I go hunting up, the good stuff must be hidden. Or...I didn't find what I was looking for, so it wasn't time for me to find it. Who knows.
Moving on...
Right now, I am up early with huge blistery and/or red, very itchy rashes all over my body due to allergic reaction to something (antibiotics? supplements? cats? dust? anything?)...I had an allergic reaction on Tuesday while on antibiotics (which I stopped then as well as all supplements), then got steroids (to take for 5 days) and anti histamines, it went down after some hours...but yesterday morning a rash developed on my hips, spoke to a doctor who said to get allergy tests...then last night the reaction spread and got a lot worse, even worse than when I first had it before the current medication to control it...I phoned up the NHS Direct helpline (really good service, IMO) and they arranged for an off hours doctor to call me...she said it's a strong allergic reaction as I am on steroids and that is very strong...and she said go to the doctors tomorrow, show them and perhaps they will give you different anti histamines...now my eyes have inflamed a little and are a bit red...I feel/know I will be ok so don't worry but just got to find out what is causing this...I stood out to me that the nurse on the end of the phone asked me if I had had a vaccination recently, and I said yes 3 and a half months ago I had the Hepatitis B jab (at work, not that I wanted to...had just one of the shots) and that I came down with a bad virus a few weeks later and have been ill since...so what is going on? Now I feel like I demand to know!
