    6.16 am Having my second cup of tea. Feeling very tired from staying up too late on Avalon nattering (again!) One little blond person laying on the couch under a blanket, and one chirping away down the hallway with Dad. The sun is only just coming up and the birds are slowly starting to chorus..
    I just watched the 911 thread with the orb theory, and feeling a bit uncomfortable at the vitriolic comments towards the obviously well-meaning OP... Trying to get it out of my mind because it's not so pleasant to feel at this hour!
    Giggles from lounge now and the feeling that the house is about to come alive..which means it's time for me to move!
    Hope you all have a lovely day, and I hope the sun comes out here in Auckland today too!

    Hot sunny day here with a hint of Hurricane Maria blowing the bedclothes wildly on the line. One lone crow 'talking' at me - he wants to be fed! Bath towels in and all folded, smelling like summer. Large pot of homemade soup simmering away in the Slow Cooker.. extra carrots! Two small doggies (son allergic to cats)
    eagerly awaiting husbands return from work- any moment now. Time to set the table - all welcome

    Thanks for bumping this thread, Ernie.
    We're all united in our Avalon addiction I see.

    Right now I'm really thinking about the Free Energy stuff,
    and how my idea to use the Free Energy Now signature
    as submiminal advertising is taking off gradually.
    I was thinking so hard I didn't hear the fridge
    until I was reminded again that the purpose of this thread
    is to come OUT of our heads and have our WHOLE body aware of reality.
    No need to stop thinking, but be aware of the full energy system that we are
    and that we can sense.
    This is about getting into the power.

    Feeling tired this afternoon, lounging on the sofa and surfing around Avalon. Ulli, it IS an addiction, but a fun and useful one!

    I see the green canopy of trees out the window, beyond the back porch roof -- my house at the back is 2 storeys above the ground, as the land slopes away. I see a crow flying around in the trees, no two ... three of them. A crow convention. I see the spider webs along the eaves that I must clean out this fall. The sky is palest blue behind a thin layer of clouds. Absolutely still and quiet... except for the fridge humming and the overhead fan silently turning.

    Feeling grateful to Ulli for starting a 'be here now' thread -- it's been years since I did this, but it's so ... what's the word .... filled with connection, that's the best my poor brain can come up with! And yes, power. In years past, I have managed to go for a good stretch of time, staying in the moment, and have found some wonderful things happening as a result.

    It's 2 pm and hot.
    I can hear the drums from the other side of the river,
    where the local school boys are practising
    for tomorrow's Independence Day parade.
    Boboom boom boom....boboom boom boom

    Also noticing how the ventilator of my laptop is getting louder.

    is this like twitter? avalonatwitta? Hmmmm ... just catching up on forum news - such a lot to read and never get around to all of it. Could spend all day here and still never get to the end. Sitting up here in my bed - in the dark - it's 21.34. My daughter has just asked if I want to watch a movie and I guess I will if it's not too scarey and gorey (her taste!). I have to be at work at 7am because the phones should have transferred to another system and didn't for whatever reason. Knew it would turn out like that but wonder whether I put the mockas on it because of the original thought. Don't tell. Going to watch the movie now. good thread Ulli - loved the pic of your home and will upload one from my home tomorrow .... lol to everyone xoxo Lin

    Ulli,

    To not think is to be in the now - did not realize this until I spoke with an enlightened friend of mine while I was downtown.
    I think he is right. Thinking is about past or future. Not thinking allows one to be present, really present.
    Suddenly, buses/trains arrive as I get to the stop. All work flows smoothly with little effort, even money is finding its way into my pocket. Now I am trying to not get all psyched about the positive so these synchronicities do not stop. Before, I'd be pissed about the absence of these very things I've mentioned (I used to dwell in the negative).
    I do not give thanks either because these are my rights, once I stepped out of the way. I do not want to step in my way again by being positive either. I just do not think.
    Period.

    It's ten 'til four in the afternoon. I fear this thread may one day lead to avalon "status updates". I ate too much for lunch which does adversely affect my afternoon productivity. Tap tapping on my little querty keypad on my cell phone, as is done with all my posting. I should really do something productive. Maybe in a minute.

    Ernie,
    We are wired differently then.
    I know all about those schools that say you must stop thoughts.
    Been there done that.
    For me to stop all thought is like stopping breathing or stop my tummy from rumbling.
    It's astrological- Mars-Mercury conjunct.
    So the meditation teachers that demanded that had a hard time with me.

    Nevertheless after many years of practise I still learnt to achieve the main thing,
    to be an observer of myself.
    That means I can observe little me even while thoughts are happening.

    I can be in the now and not be identified with the thinking entity that little me is.
    My observer is in then in charge, yet the apparatus is still going,
    emotions, instincts and, yes, even thoughts.

    Of course, when there is a moment when no thought passes through
    I'm very pleased.

    I don't think that this thread will lead to an Avalon update thread as I won't let it.
    It is an excercise thread, designed more for the poster to notice what's happening,
    like a journal, which is shared,
    than the forum receiving an update. For sure it is fun, getting to know the others reality,
    but this is an awareness excercise.

    There is a very subtle difference between the two which is why i think it will need regular explaining.
    When it works it becomes like magic...an energy sharing happens
    at a higher level....
    not only in the mind, but the whole being.
    That's when heart and spirit can participate.
    We will notice special things occuring and synchronicities increasing.

    Corrie on tv, just cut the last of the blooms for the table, dusk sets in with a chill, time to pull out the un-album'd photos and tidy up some memories then start dinner for the family martial artists' late return.

    I was teasing about the avalon status updated.

    Shortly after posting, I observed how a customer walking through the door works miracles for my motivation. So much so that an hour later I additionaly observed it was time for a cigarette. Underlying that observation is another observation that I really don't want to sew that jersey down to the matboard, which is next on the agenda. It will fill most of that last hour of work.

I listen...ponder...why would a childrens movie contradict mainstream science teaching.... "which sun is yours? ( little grean alien)... (nasa astronaught replies)..."you see that big red one"...(planet 51)" ..... Hear one of the machines from work finishing its cycle.... the rest chugging clunking along doing thier work... song on the raidio...."so far sooo good.... if thats all you where thinking.... I wish I could!....but I may wind up dreaming...But that means no tomorrow!.. So far soo good!". Hear the end of break alarm..... snap out of thought...its time to get back to work...

    Noticing how my attempts at clarifying my meaning could seem confrontational.
    Wondering how I could tone down my tone to convey what I really meant.

    Remembering the words of the great American philosopher Arnold Schwarzenegger:
    "It's nothing personal"
    while noticing the noisy fridge.

    Noticing how my attempts at clarifying my meaning could seem confrontational.
    Wondering how I could tone down my tone to convey what I really meant.

    Remembering the words of the great American philosopher Arnold Schwarzenegger:
    "It's nothing personal"
    while noticing the noisy fridge.
    I second that pondering!

    Noticing now it is a quarter 'til six, which means it's time to count the money and go home. Woohoo! Family and kitty time, here I come!

    wait, that's not in the moment. It's easier to get swept into the future fifteen minutes before closing time, I'm observing now.
