Put Another Log On The Fire

[Lost N Found]

Welcome to the campfire brother Matthew, YoYoYo, Thank you for your introduction. Campfires in England, It is way cool to meet folks from all over the world. This campfire, began by Lionhawk is a wonderful place to tell your story, as Shadowself so wonderfully expressed it, it is your story and what comes from your love as a child and your walk through life. Thank you

Brother Zionbrion, your adventures in hitchhiking are great. Always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand, Unfortunately got off the ship prior to its voyage to the land down under. My hitchhiking adventures were restricted to the Western United States unlike Shadowself's that encompassed places across the country. Those stories are for another time.

Picture is me at a festival here in England. They had a big firepit too. I love campfires

Not meaning to hold the talking stick, just an overdue introduction

Welcome, Matthew-YoYoYo.
Impeccable timing. We’re all stocked up on bottles and cans. Brewskies and chips for those that partake. Alas, chips only for your darling Little One there.

RunningDeer ♡

[Matthew]

Chips and beer ...that is perfect. And thank you also Lost N Found I feel like it would be nice to share some of my story.



My untamed love as a child was to be an inventor. I was amazed at things that had been made and wondered how. Born of frustration a song by 90's band James would be the sound track to that time, but I wasn't frustrated. I was in awe.

I always wanted a brother. I ached for a brother. I really wanted one so badly it was a big thing for me growing up. My little sister forgives me for admitting to her I cried and cried when she was born because I wanted a brother. Turns out I have a brother he was given up or adoption four years before I was born, two years after my older sister. He got in touch with mum while she was alive. She was searching for him for years already. He didn't know until she told him. He said he recognised her voice when they first met before he even saw her. He thinks this was an actual memory from when he was less than one year old.

We have alot in common including our laugh our sisters tell us.

[Lost N Found]

Have you got to meet your brother? I would suspect that you will if haven't already. Your dear Mum made that connection back to one and I am glad, glad all over. I have story that is very sad but is or will be a very happy experience when all come back to the one. This is not so much about me but rather my youngest daughter. I am the Grandpa and me and my soul mate have been in sorrow.

Just a short story but knowing that it will turn out to be a very bright light. My youngest has given birth to 3 boys when she was in her 20's, she was married and proceeding to raise the children. Her Husband at the time turned back to the nasty drug scene and life fell apart for both of them. The boys were kidnapped by a very angry grandma on the husbands side who lived in another state. She took the boys and proceeded to split them up and adopted two out to another family and kept the oldest and gave him to her oldest son to raise. The youngest wound up in prison and you can imagine where that all went. As Grandparents we never got to see these boys again. My youngest moved to another state and divorced and re-married and lives a very productive life but I know she misses her boys. She has been able to make limited contact with the folks that are raising them and hopes to be able to meet them in the near future. I know that when these boys get to be older they will want to search out there real mom/mum. This is a future event we all look forward to.

Thank you Matthew for your life. That young person you are holding will grow up so happy. LOL Still think you be a great Dad

[Matthew]

We did meet and I should have said this all happened over a decade ago, we are close and good friends. I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your youngest and your grandchildren and you both, and I hope and pray there is unity and comradry to come.

Tounge in cheek if you're talking about that baby in the picture, I promise I don't hold babies like that. It's only a doll.. hmm, I think

Tonge back out of cheek I believe there can be a closer spiritual link between siblings, perhaps noticable in these occations. Highly subjective on my part but I had grief for a brother I was expecting that time I was upset at my little sisters birth. I hope and pray there's the best of unity to come for you and your family

[Lost N Found]

Okay grabbed me on that one. I am sure that you would be such a loving dad with the children. Thank you for your heartfelt thoughts/feelings and now I am ever more glad that you found your brother and the connection is pure positive love. Here is a song for that in me, Were you here?

[Lost N Found]

Meggings. you are wonderful around this campfire. Horses and canoes what a wonderful time you have experienced in this plane of physicality.

I am signing out and moving towards the woods for the evening. Thanks to all around the fire today, even if Matthew caught me on the doll ha ha ha. Love it. This is what is so wonderful about this place.

Love to all and have a wonderful evening

(I have edited this next day, and thanks are given to all for allowing me to rant. A good thing came out of it - today I have a new art piece begun, and another one is nearly finished, as I worked my way through my anger...pics below)

How about some serious healing for this Meggins being an absolute idiot?
I am bent out of shape and so friggin' angry...

... [saw a movie tonight, it's title is:] "He Called Me Malala", about the girl who was shot in the head in Afghanistan for going to school when the Taliban said "no school for girls". She had been encouraged to SPEAK UP and use her voice and her mind. There is great sadness that I was raised to be silent and to endure. This is NOT WISE to do to daughters.
...
I needed to vent, as I needed to walk off my anger outside the movie theatre tonight. You may understand very little of this rant, but I am glad to have gotten some of it out into words.

Meggings,
I honor you tonight and appreciate being invited in to your unearthing.

I feel wistful tonight and Thanksgiving is coming. I know that people disparage Thanksgiving as history but I love the way it brings my favorite meal of turkey and asks me to rejoice in cornocopias.

I think feeling alone is a natural stage we pass in and out between too much company and maybe not the right kind.
I was wistful about the virtual fire as I would love to have more friends physically.

I feel how marvelous it is to sit around a real fire with those who grok us. For instance I have felt much anger and the two women I have met with every week for five years seem to be far away from what I am really feeling. So, I told them I do not want to meet for a while. I admitted I was in general angry and that knowing it is my story and Just a story is not a balm now.

Yes, we are in our own very particular deep drama. I like the idea of peace but I know I am not yet peace full. So Meggings and everyone, I cherish the idea that we are friends and support us telempathically (I like that word). Maybe we will meet at the real fire where the toasted marshmallows sit between two graham crackers and melt chocolate.

In the mean time, I feel like loving you all very much. Maggie

[Heartsong]

I wish I was there to comfort you Megs. Make you a pot of tea. Wrap you in a quilt. You've been through so much hurt on your journey. Rest now.

[kanishk]

Hello everybody, for some days I was going through all the posts in this tread. I read most of the posts but left some and watching all the YouTube videos because for now I have a very very slow internet connection.

Thankyou all for sharing all your first hand stories, so I also like to share some of mine. I don’t know they are real or not but that is what I have experienced. Putting a log on the fire..

So, this one is about when I went to visit a city called Jammu in the state of Jammu and Kashmir in India. And I visited a shrine called VESHNO DEVI that lots of people visit again and again. All the Hindus want to go there once.

It was the time of Diwali festival in the month of November 2012. At that time I was doing my masters degree, and for Diwali most of the people get days off in a row. so, people go visit their homes and have a get together. So in my college also some days are given off in this festive season, I got a offer from a professor to work on a project during these days with more days off for us. It was a 10 days project to do a periurban survey of Jammu for making a master plan for the city, using old version of GPS device, with some local students of paramedical college. So in that period they can also learn the thing from us and do the remaining survey. In return we are getting the opportunity to go visit a new place and earn a little money.

So one day we decided to go visit VAISHNO DEVI { https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaishno_Devi 33.0299°N 74.9482°E}. It is located in Katra town 42 kms from Jammu. We took the bus and arrived there on foothill of Trikuta Mountains{three peaked mountains https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trikuta} in evening maybe around 8:30 or 9:00 pm. We have a local guy with us also who was very friendly. When I was in bus I was thinking why this shrine is on mountain, and thoughts like maybe in past this maountain is been used as pyramid and some spiritual people use to go there inside those tunnels in that specific area to meditate.

Because I have been told that these goddesses are in a cave. And recently shrine excavated a artificial tunnel for a easier rout for people to get darshan of these three goddesses. And I was also been told that these three goddesses are three pindis, not a statue or idol.

" Source: https://www.maavaishnodevi.org/darshan.aspx

The Trikuta Mountain where the Shrine is located and the Holy Cave are the gateway to the dimension of Super Consciousness. And just like the Trikuta Mountain, which is one at the base but has three peaks (hence the name Trikoot), the revelation of the Mother Goddess in the Holy Cave is in a natural rock form which is one at the base but has three heads at the top. These three heads in a natural rock form are known as the Holy Pindies and are worshipped as the revelation of the Mother Goddess. The entire rock body is immersed in water, and a marble platform has now been constructed all around. The main Darshans remain to be of the three heads called the Holy Pindies. The uniqueness of the Holy Pindies is that although they emanate from one single rock form, each one is distinctly different from the other two in colour and texture.

MAHA KALI
Towards the right of the devotee is the Holy Pindi of Mata Maha Kali (the Supreme Energy of Dissolution) in the colour associated with Her i.e. black.
MAHA LAKSHMI
In the centre is the Holy Pindi of Mata Maha Lakshmi (the Supreme Energy of Maintenance) with a yellowish-red tinge, the colour associated with Mata Maha Lakshmi.
MAHA SARASWATI
The Pindi to the extreme left of the viewer is worshipped as the Holy Pindi of Mata Maha Saraswati (the Supreme Energy of Creation). It has a whitish tinge when looked at attentively. White has also been considered the colour associated with Mata Maha Saraswati."

So, we started the journey, we all spread across. And I didn’t know there was a ticket for darshan. And that it is decided that we all are going to meet at top when entering main body. Many people are taking sloppy roads but I chose to take stairs. And I just use to climb some stairs and sit and watch night sky and the city lights of Katra town. And at top it was very very cold and I was having strong pain in my ears and having headache. But then this local fellow met me again on road, asked the girl who was my junior in graduation college to give me her extra scarf. He was completely falling in love with her but she just having a time pass fun with him, poor fellow.

So, I don’t want to make this story too long..No mobiles, any instrument, bags or anything is allowed in inside premises. And it was just before the morning I went inside that artificial tunnel. I was in a line people already started speaking to whatever they came there in hopes of. Then when I arrived close to that thing, I saw that these are three crystals emerging out of the rock. The middle one’s height is the longest and it is more clear, the one on left is also a clear crystal but the height is medium and the width is more at bottom and the third one at the right is the shortest had some impurities in it. So in that short time I have to observe these crystal as much as I can, but then I have to bow, and stick my forehead on that platform as everybody is doing, but I managed to observe it more. And while returning I didn’t turned my head, I was walking backwards and looking at it. So when I was standing very close to it for about 15 seconds and overall managed to look at it for about 1 minute may be.

I observed the flower through the middle crystal and thought to myself that this third pindi right one with blackish impurity is Kali devi, the one on the left with very less impurity is sarasvati devi and the one in middle is Vaishno devi(=goddess), is actually Laxmi devi.

When I was looking at those crystals I was amazed that how they have been formed and came out of the rock. And how people in ancient time have found this phenomenon. After that all the way back to Jammu I was thinking about this and was saying to people how it could have been happened and from their faces I saw they are in doubt what I am saying.

So after ariving back to Jammu we did what we have to do all the day in periurban areas and arrived back in evening to hotel. And when in evening we were all are together for dinner I asked people about crystal and they are just changing the topic, I was unable to understand why are they behaving like that. One said yeah yeah those crystal ball I saw that in a shop.. one said yeah they are selling crystal necklaces in shops.. Local guys went to their homes after eating. And the remaining we are, are all tired so much because we have not slept for one night, so we all went to bed quickly after dinner.

Next day in the morning before leaving for survey we are paying some hotel bills so there I saw this picture hanging on wall of those pindies (of Vaishno Devi). I was amazed that why the crystals have not appeared in the photo. I asked this to that local guy, why the crystals are not seen in this photo. He said which crystals. I asked him is that the way you saw the pindies yeasterday. I asked other what they saw, they all told me that they have not seen any crystals emerging from that pindies and they have seen it as it is been shown in photograph. Here is the photograph of those pindies




Now, after that I always wonder what I have seen on that day.. will I be able to see that again if I go back. Am I seeing something in another dimension or is somebody just put those pictures in my mind. Now there is very little possibility if somebody else had seen it and he will investigate this matter. Its India, he will just say yay goddess was happy with me etc..etc..

In this trip I have seen another strange.. I will post that in next post..

[kanishk]

This is the closer view of Pindi on the left side of Sarasvati devi




So, after some days we all went to another place near to Jammu called Manesar lake.

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

32.696076°N 75.146806°E

This lake is on top of a mountain. When we are going there, all the creeks and rivers are dried out because of the summers. No water in any ponds also.

So, when we arrived we saw a very beautiful lake. Greenery is all around it. The water is very calm and clear.

Local guy told us that the eater in this lake never dries out, even if there is no rain for two years.. don't know. He told us many scientist have come there to find out where the water is coming from. And many scuba drivers went in there and have not yet found depth of that lake and that some scuba drivers and some other peoples have drowned inside that lake, that there is something inside that lake that sucks the person in.. And that many people saw a fish with a ring in her nose.. hahaha.. who knows..

Well I saw that they are using this water for drinking purpose because there is a pumping station there. And the thought came into my mind is about ormus elements. Because I read somewhere this kind of phenomenon is found many places and that such kinds of lakes are found elsewhere around the word and the reason behind water flowing upward is ormus elements in water and something to do with capillary action that involves how the water moves in trees from roots to leafs.

I saw big fishes of from half kg to 4-5 kg are on the shores. This is because people feed them. You can just catch them with your hands. I had this fear of touching fish because they are slippery. But that day I first tried to touch them and then tried to catch them. That bad feeling that I had about touching slippery fish is suppressed. And after some attempts I was able to catch a fish. Because they are so slippery it was very difficult to catch them with you hands. There turtles also, and they are not afraid of people touching them.

[Meggings]

Kanishk, thank you for sharing your experience. It was almost as if I were there, you described it so well and an energy from it connected to me. I have seen transparent delicately-coloured light in a form that might be described as a crystal. At the time I'd just naturally fallen into an altered state, and had an open book on my lap. In this altered state of seeing higher vibrational things, the pages of this book on my lap began slowly turning, one by one, as though a higher part of myself were turning the pages and absorbing the information on those pages. It was a massive book of about a thousand pages.

In this room was a large perfectly round rock crystal. When I'd gotten up and glanced over at the rock crystal, instead of it being clear, it radiated white light from itself. I understood that to mean it belonged to me, and in fact, the lady who owned it gave it to me.

It seems to me you were in an altered state of consciousness and saw what does exist in a more refined vibrational level.

I have seen crystals coming of my hand, at right angles to my skin, that were both clear see-through crystals and white opaque crystals, crowding close together. It was a surprise to see crystals instead of an aura of diffuse light. Again, I assume I glimpsed something that exists in a different vibrational level.

Again I thank you for your story. It has flavoured my morning in a very nice way.

[Shadowself]

Meggings,

I totally understand what you just went through. Believe it or not I do. Been there...done that!

Be careful...your nobility is peeking through. Wouldn't want that on this souls journey now would we?

I have in fact as I said earlier been reading everything here.

Now I'm not going to tell you Meggings to do anything stupid like put yourself in a situation of even more homelessness. But I am going to tell you all of these souls and lives you've experienced are only a fragment of you.

Don't you think it's time to claim your power? You already know who you are and have not yet claimed it.

When I look at you I see nobility of a different sort. Not this souls journey of yours but something quite unique.

Don't listen to those around you who would knock you down. That is an old ploy of yet another souls journey.

Trust in who you are. Claim your throne! Your seat of power. True nobility will always see the wealth in a souls journey. True wealth is not about money or riches. It's within you to find that out. So claim it!

It's yours. I say this with great love in my heart to yours. You've got that going on and this is why you disdain with great anger. This is not you...and you're right. Because I see it in what you've written.

Remember this Meggings....all these life souls you have the power to see are only a fragment of you and that power with which you see them is truly YOU! Claim it! You won't be sorry trust me when I say this. You might be very surprised to see your nobility as I have.

(listen to this song..it does not lie and neither have I)

kanishk!

Truly and awesome story! Welcome to the fire.

Thank you

More please...

[Shadowself]

Yo...Yo Yo Yo!

Festivals! I'm down! I love a good festival of good souls!

Burning man was my favorite of them all. If you ever get a chance you should go. You'll laugh, cry and dance!

The art is amazing too!


My youngest son spent a whole year touring with a band who did festivals all over.

My oldest son and my youngest son now does lighting for festivals. Here is a cool festival At Coachella my son was in charge of lighting and the board that controls it. My son of course passed away but my youngest son still does this during the summer months when he's not working on films.

Thanks so much
I so enjoyed the story...
The part about the fish and turtles made me smile...they have no fear of humans.
It could be the monotomic elements in water that levitate?
I was reminded of viktor Schauberger describing the life cycle of water and that water rises

Here is a great quote by him

It is possible to regulate watercourses over any given distance without embankment works; to transport timber and other materials, even when heavier than water, for example ore, stones, etc., down the centre of such water-courses; to raise the height of the water table in the surrounding countryside and to endow the water with all those elements necessary for the prevailing vegetation. Furthermore it is possible in this way to render timber and other such materials non-inflammable and rot resistant; to produce drinking and spa-water for man, beast and soil of any desired composition and performance artificially, but in the way that it occurs in Nature; to raise water in a vertical pipe without pumping devices; to produce any amount of electricity and radiant energy almost without cost; to raise soil quality and to heal cancer, tuberculosis and a variety of nervous disorders... the practical implementation of this ... would without doubt signify a complete reorientation in all areas of science and technology.
Viktor Schauberger, Our Senseless Toil, 1933

[kanishk]

Thank you Meggings, I am glad that I got some connection to what I have seen. Yes as you are saying those crystals are emitting white light, like in those old TV serials they put light inside gems to show them glaring. Those crystals to me had their own glare, like a white light emanating and surrounding them. I think this is what I have experienced that to that smiler experience you had.

There in Jammu food is very good, and so many different spices. I don't like eating mutton, means the meat of goat, but local guys ordered something called Yakni, which is a goat meat and its gravy is white in color not the red as usual that I have seen all my life. I only liked eating chicken and fish but I liked eating mutton there for first time. And the gravy this Yakni is not hot but is sweet. Its local name is AK-47. Then there is hand grande, which is Rista which are meat balls made out of the meat of sheep.

Welcome to the campfire Kanishk. Your tellings are amazing. I am with Shadowself, more please.

Meggings, your tender feelings of a relationship that does not fit made me dwell into my heart way deep. My soul mate went through that very bad experience in her young life prior to us finding each other. She was actually physically abused and more so mentally abused by a pour soul that could not face his own abuse in life but rather pushed it out on all those around him. It made him a very nasty person. When my twinflame and I came together she had left this person and his abuse behind but was damaged and still has some of that within herself. She had two young girls that she was trying to raise alone and they had been abused also. Well along came me and all I could do was give all the love I could and help. I adopted the girls and we all grew up together. I cannot know exactly how your life existed in a situation as you have told, only how I handled the situation with my love and my children after they experienced the trauma. Both my girls who are in their forties now have always called me Dad and we love each other so much. My Twinflame and I live in total love and there are times that I have to feel those unwanted, unresolved pains from her past but the love overcomes always. We are best of friends. One thing I have always known but had to open to is that we all are one in this existence and we have to treat each other with all the love that is us.

Please accept an undaunted love toward your being and as all have said, We are there to hold, understand and cry with you.

Steven
