    agreed, its a beautiful quote at first glance, however it has to be pondered and understood as applying to every life lived.

    This has to equally apply to the most heinous and evil of human beings. It cant be for only the so called good. How do we come to terms with this?

    In the NDE's that I study, it is made clear by many that there is no good or evil from the other sides perspective. Life is to be experienced.

    One NDE person said our lives are the fingers or the universe reaching out for experience.

    Experience aside from our earthly naming of these experiences as good or evil. Its hard to comprehend
    Reaching out for experience and expansion I've heard as well.

    Either there is a slow wake up or my timing for interacting with people waking up is increasing.

    Getting a few groceries yesterday I paid cash. And I said with a smile, "You still take cash right?"

    An older gentleman behind me in line said something about people should use cash more and I said "yeah, we gotta slow down the A.I. and stuff." And then I echoed Catherine Austin Fitts' strategy of "Cash Fridays" and he smiled!

    Exhaustion is hitting us from many sources, but now that the masks are off I find that many people are eager to talk - or maybe it's just me! Lol!

    Everyone is feeling exhausted so it is easy to help by engaging people with a smile, or a simple "Hi! How are you?"

    Hi Doug, for me is quite hard to accept that to balance our life we must accept and embrace the dark within us, because I know no one is completely good or completely bad , but Im very much invested on knowing the truth, and it feels like a trap they've made for us to believe that one can go either way and so there are no bad choices, just experiences. No, I refuse to accept that, my brain cannot work around the fact that evil choices produce pain, suffering, horror and so much more, and we must believe that it is the universe's way of being, sorry no, I feel to much pain from what is happening to believe that it is just me not accepting the nature of our universe. I might be wrong, but I will not accept it. Thank you for your post though.

    Watching what is happening around us is hard to do without feeling overwhelmed sometimes. Perhaps what we are observing is what happens to the world are symptoms from choices made over a long period of time, not necessarily to be judged good or bad but more like consequences of the way the world is run.


    I haven't found an answer to why the seemingly innocent must suffer along with the observable evil or darkness, whether people, animals or plants and the earth iself. Maybe it is a sign that there is a need for some kind of unity and care of the whole, the bigger picture, communication and integration on some level, cooperation, much like a healthy body would organise itself, each cell unique but working as a whole to move forward for the good of the whole body. Not as a forced way but a natural choice out of love and compassion for the whole.

    Could think of it as aligned with love and not aligned with love.

    I've also heard in NDE's that heaven feels way more real than the earth plane.

    Cabal elites (ET's?)look very evil to us humans but to a light being there's compassion for all. They're simply misguided earth plane souls and anything is possible, anything is healable. But who will request healing for these lost souls?

    What happens in the earth plane stays in the earth plane. We pick up where we left off in each incarnation.

    To top it off, we have to find this all out on our own. Would be nice to know the ground rules upon entry lol

    I think it's important to really get that what we resist, persists.
    That's the trap the Darkness sets for us.
    If we align ourselves with the Light, that's great, but if in that process we are also rejecting the Dark, we are actually giving it energy.
    Staying in an accepting, neutral space is not feeding the Dark, because from that space, we can shine Light on it.
    In that way, we remain in a balanced state, and we can progress more into the Light.
    Embracing the Shadow doesn't mean that we glory in the Darkness.
    It just means that we stop denying it, stop resisting it, and thereby we deny it our energy.
    We can't realistically deny that it's there, but it loses its power over us if we aren't constantly battling with it.
    Eventually we just subsume it into our inner Light simply by focusing on the Light, not getting caught up in the struggle of Light and Dark, which is the main characteristic of this plane of Opposites.
    Then we can evolve to the next higher plane.
    Each breath a gift...

    Wonder who is feeling this way?

    I notice myself recoiling, pulling back and going within.
    Agree.

    Really it is much better than forcing yourself to keep up with and listening to half baked propaganda designed to make you low, fearful, frustrated and unhappy. Also paying attention to the worst that the outer world currently has to offer is certainly not mandatory, in fact I recommend not doing very much of it.

    So, for me these days I pay a lot more attention to my inner world and my vision for the world in which I live instead. I think it is reasonable to ignore that which does not relate to your immediate circumstances to the extent that you wish to do so. Occasionally you will feel called to engage, or some immediate situation may force it, but until then - let all that **** go.

    Your being alive, being self aware, having an idea of what is good and taking the time to think things through, is of immense value to all of us.

    Radiate Love!

    The same is true for everyone here. We are one. Keep going!

    Reaching out for experience and expansion I've heard as well.
    The wingmakers materials teaches that we are fragments of first source. Created for the purpose of expanding experience. Since we are of the same essence of first source that vibrates in high frequency we wont be able to exist in 3d which is quite dense and has a low vibe. Thus the human instrument is created so we the fragmented emtities can project a tiny bit of our conciousness in 3d
    throug this instrument for the experience. And that the fragmentation cause all the onsecurities and fear that we are experiencing. Our goal is to realize and reconnect to first source whilst experiencing the 3d. Freewill is the gift bestowed upon us amd experience is the cargo we return.

    I feel so unsure about what I am supposed to DO about what I hear. Yesterday it all just got so scary that I wept for a long time in fear. So, fear is always to be faced and dealt with in MY reality. I am not worried for me but the future and most of the time I feel trust in Good BUT then sometimes I doubt.

    This horror has been going on so long with so much suffering at the hands of EVIL. I am watching this all day today and I feel connected with all the people standing up everywhere. If I can't be there, I send money and my attention. It helps me feel Good IS working in the world.

    hi Mercedes, I hear you and feel the same.

    all I was saying is that the quote regarding "our lives" as a tapestry has to include all our lives.
    How could it just be good lives? where would the cutoff be? who would decide? Language is a barrier to understanding at times what cannot be explained.

    I have only questions, and if answers, just for myself

    I have been feeling odd today. Not enough to start a new thread - but it is not an exhaustion setting in.

    Something else.

    Kinda like as bit confused but not about anything specific. Just a weird day.

    Anyone else?


    *added* hoping tomorrow is good weather - I want to get out and feel the earth beneath my feet. Maybe that is what I need.

    They're in the business of bringing us down. It brings themselves down at the same time.

    Only love will raise up the perpetrator and the victim. I'm seeing this love more every day. It keeps me going.

    Yes, I get you. We are all people having a life, and even their lives might well be masterpieces depicting the worst of art. It's just hard to justify the existing entities doing all what is possible to damage and kill whatever is good and beautiful in the rest of earth and humanity. I also accept I know almost nothing and it makes it even more overwhelming, and I might die and never get to know the reason for their existence. It feels like saying " see this? this is bad, don't do this" but all the while they get away with it. The option is up to us, instinctively we know what is good and bad. Oh well, we'll just have to endure and keep on doing what is best. Thank you all avalonians, just for being here, I love you all for your support.

    Thanks everyone for the replies, it's great to see I am not alone with all this.
    I have come to a point of not even knowing what I am supposed to do here in this life.

    Now, just to be clear, I'm not suicidal , I wish to live this life fully, and I know that ending the journey short will only make me start over so I'm going nowhere. Now this is the problem, I feel I'm stuck here.
    My 30 year career is over, I have 3 months of funds left, I have no motivation to start over.
    Of course I can find some simple minimum wage job, but I'm not here to work and pay taxes.

    So I have been asking God, universe, Jesus, all angels, deceased relatives, what is it that I am here for? ( Still have no clue but at least I could pay rent)!...lol
    I have no tv so these people don't drain me out, but I'm an empath and I get burnt out just being outside around people.
    Anyhow, there must be a reason for all this, all I hope is that I find out soon enough before I totally give up and live by the minute.
    much love to everyone, let's see soon hopefully what's on the other side of this rubicon....

    I say it's more exausting to figure out why I am here than trying to survive the month financially.

    I haven't been on PA in awhile b/c of the shock (to me alone) of being bamboozled (?) by a member. This site has given me so much mental and spiritual growth that I am ready to be at one with the thoughts shared -regardless. I read about 20 posts from this thread and I am pushing back tears as I know this has been a hard road for us all to experience, overcome with our true selves intact. I love each and everyone of you.
    I am tired, too.
    Olam, I had an opportunity to dig in someones yard this week and I felt so good, at one with Source and nature. Planting for spring flowers! Remembering the joy and beauty of our own Spirit within. Sometimes I worry or wonder if I will be living under a bridge but I no longer stress about it. I know I will strive to feel peace within. That is what I have to share.
    PainterDoug, you have given so much beauty and insight. Thank you.
    Much love and peace for you. Hope these words are calming to all here. It has been a strange and difficult road to travel since it is foreign to our senses.
    Listening to the birds right now, feeling the good in all of life.

    My last post here is my art.

    I feel so helpless in any normal way, almost in every way.

    But I can tell you from my heart to yours, we will prevail!

    Should I say more?

    I have tried to be at peace with my fate for so long that I forget some have had it much better and are in shock at the turnaround. And I know the feeling but I have lived that for decades. My choice, though. That makes a difference.

    For me, I see clearly the end result of this fiasco. It just surprises me how indoctrinated the majority are. I see it might take some time yet befors we see it turn around.

    God will not be mocked. Nor will God leave us without succor. We are God's children - children of the sun. The sun will shine again I promise.

    It is inevitable.

    Bless us all.

    well i suppose thats for each of us to figure out? whats our purpose here ?
    but for my two cents, it may be something not obvious, not seen, and it can be something so small you would not know.

    its easy to say the big football star knows his purpose, but then again , maybe not. perhaps its his big distraction from his puropse?

    what if in the latter days of ones life, they said something to someones that so lifted their spirits that they decided to go on living and change the world? imagine that?

    in the magical tapestry, your small thread could hold up the works!

    usually our ego has us wanting to drive, be the winner , the one who garners attention and so on.

    i think of the stone worker up high in the cathedral spire, carving a scene that no one will see.

    remember, he who saves one life, save the world entire

    see Fellinis La Strada. it is played out in this magnificant film

    Thank you for that.
    In fact yoiu remind me that I do have these moments with people.
    For example, in the last 3 weeks I have been supporting a homeless guy that I saw on the street.
    The reason I reached out is that he had a sign that said please help me.
    This is something I have always honoured. If anyone is humble enough to ask for help, I respond.
    I know I have changed this man's life, if only for him to have awareness to take more care about his body.
    This man was half dressed in the cold, needing methadone everyday, but with also a will to get out of the situation.

    Anyhow, thanks for reminding me.
    Somehow though this is not enough for me...

    Thanks RareGem for the insight.
    I don't garden but i visit a family of Cedar trees daily where I do my Chigong.
    These trees remind me of the mountains surrounding the village of Pisac in Peru.
    Very powerful motherly love full of compassion.

    Olam I understand it may not be enough for you. But your story isnt over. Your helping the homeless is monumental because its real giving, not giving for whats in return.
    And it all may be good enough for God
