Here and Now...What's Happening?

[RunningDeer]

A snippet from “Animal Speak,” by Ted Andrews:


Centipedes and millipedes alert us to new psychic environments and connections and to new and previously unrecognized psychic relationships. They also appear to alert us to any possible pitfalls within those relationships. Theirs is the energy of quiet protection in psychic exploration.

Hi Limor, my current interpretation is there was an overlap of two worlds.

As far as exploration of the unseen worlds bleeding through? It’s on going to the extent that I pay attention, rather than make it a full time job to seek it out.

And Natalie, the elemental play is not too far a stretch. I may have a wee bit of the elf and fairy blood runnin’ in me veins. According to my father, we’re 100% Irish. My mother says there’s a bit of English mixed in. As a family unit we were/are in-tuned with each other.

As previously posted, in my youth, I’d play in what we called, “FairyLand”. It was a marshy, stream filled area that was loaded with rotting logs of paper birch, violets, skunk cabbage, grasses, thorns, peeper frogs and such. Back then I could see the wee-ones.

In another special place on the property there were high grasses and sumac bushes/trees. I’d hide from my younger siblings and ‘float’ on all fours with the help of my wee friends. I’d get that tickle in the belly and off I went tumbling, floating and giggling. What a rush! Back then, I didn’t know it was not possible.

Programing sucks…(excuse me-Irish)

Hi Paula ~

Smiling for the icon and for your comment. I know if I would describe everything that I saw, it wouldn't be either percieved or recieved with sympathy by my surroundings, or even here a few years ago (or even by myself, more than a few years ago). But, yes, we are part of a diversified surroundings in an environment that is teaming with life, and the unveiling process will be interesting both to the exposers and to the exposed. On a smaller or a larger scale. Learning to put bounderies - 'no one with more than three legs can talk to me'. (no, just kidding!), will possibly be the next stage after the needed acknowledgment that our physical is only a translation to the etherical, and there is so much there that is not being translated..

Or too much cofee?

Maybe the elementals are inviting you to play, Paula.

What a lovely gift to have as a child!
I've always had a special affinity for the wind.
As a young child, I was sure that it could take me flying if I asked it enough times.
I had flying dreams all the time, my favorite ones being where I was the instructor for other children just learning how.
I grew up in Denver and when I got to have a day in the mountains, my favorite thing was to find a log in a mountain stream and hang onto it, letting the flow of water pull me level, as though I was flying along the surface of the water.
I want to make a fairy house and leave it down in the woods where I go to hang out.
I don't remember ever seeing an elemental, but I can feel them in natural areas.

I read every fairy tale I could get as a bookworm child.
And nowadays, they feature often in my collages.

what happens when you see a snake?

Like I did, last week. A meter long (40") snake on my kitchen counter.

seriously.

I was standing there, thinking of what to eat.... and a snake went across the counter in front of me.

Probably doing the same, looking for mice.

Managed to get it out of the house without hurting it.

That's amazing, Carmody...

• You’re about to go through some significant personal changes, so intense and dramatic that an old self will metaphorically die as a new self emerges.
  
• You’re going to feel a surge of energy that will sharpen your senses, alert your mental faculties, and open up new channels of awareness.
  
• You’re about to resolve a long-standing issue, one that has required a great deal of your attention, by seeing things in a new light. It would be a good time for you to start doing either tantric or kundalini yoga.
  
• You’ll experience a dramatic and unexpected physical or emotional healing very soon, coming from an unexpected source.

Unexplained strangeness. A tiny, tiny centipede (3/4”/2 cm) appeared out of nowhere a few inch from the edge of the kitchen table and disappear in midair after it dropped off.

As a double check, I grabbed a flashlight and search without success for several minutes. It looked too real to be an AI spider-type-guy.

Note:
1) I’m well hydrated with filtered H2O.
2) No mood altering foods or drink were ingested, that is unless you don't consider coffee a tripper.
...........................

This morning, while sweeping under the bed, I saw the smallest centipede ever, 3 cm. I havent seen a centipede in years. It was dead. Very strange, that it happened to both of us.
Then I just read about Carmody's snake. Well done, getting it out of the house safely.
No such luck around here, if you are a snake, as they get beheaded instantly. Costa Rican men will not tolerate dangerous animals near the home.
A guard up the hill just lost his dog to a spotted leopard, and our friends staff are scared to walk to work in case they too get eaten.
Costa Rica law forbids sports hunting wild animals now, so the leopard and jaguar population is increasing in numbers. I wonder what it will be like in a few years.

And just as we got home tonight and I was searching for the front door keys I saw a tarantula on the wooden bench by the door.
It was dead before it could greet me; husband simply took off his shoe and that was it.
No hesitation. It's either us or them. Raw wilderness all aound us.

I save animals all the time, except for flies, mosquitoes and roaches. And occasionally I will kill even a spider if I find one in the bedroom. I've had some terrible spider bites in my life, and now won't risk another one.
The animals I save are mainly lizards, small mice and birds which the cats used to bring into the house before we got those two huge dogs. Now the cats are trapped inside, and rather resentful of the dogs.
I had hoped for friendship, but realize now that those two dogs are like a twoheaded monster. Always together, always patrolling, and chasing even a lowflying kingfisher bird I saw today.

Hey, Paula, what does it mean to see a kingfisher?

Hey, Paula, what does it mean to see a kingfisher?

For Ulli and Dr. Ulli.

Farmer, Dr. Steven. Pocket Guide to Spirit Animals

KINGFISHER:

• Make it a point to express yourself clearly and concisely with everyone you communicate with.
  
• For the next seven days, set aside a few minutes in a quiet place where there’s no chance of intrusions to simply contemplate, without any particular structure or restrictions to your thinking.
  
• Take the plunge into this project or relationship with confidence and alacrity (brisk and cheerful readiness), and let go of all doubt and fear, because it will be successful.
  
• Get daily physical exercise that involves both cardiovascular and muscular elements.
  
• You’re at the initial stages of a cycle of abundance and prosperity, so welcome and receive it.

TARANTULA:

• Trust your intuitive senses—what you feel in your body—more than what you see.
  
• This is a time to shed anything that has served its purpose for the growth of your consciousness but is now no longer needed.
  
• Your sensitivity is increasing, particularly to the vibrations you feel from your environment.
  
• Be especially gentle to yourself in the next few days, doing whatever you can to provide comfort and self-nurturing.
  
• In spite of your sturdiness and strength, this is a very sensitive and delicate time for you, so treat yourself accordingly.
  
• Although you tend to stay in the background and by yourself, be willing to come forward as necessary for your own social and emotional nourishment.

Paula, that stuff is uncanny. It certainly applies in the kingfisher case.
Have to wait for the other half to wake up to see what he makes of the spider story.
I found out that he already battled with that same spider earlier during the day but it kept getting away. At one point he even took off his shirt, believing the spider had jumped on his back.
So he was glad when hours later he saw it there on the visitor bench by the front door, and so could help him meet his maker with a quick and painless death.

With your husband seeing a tarantula twice yesterday and ‘shedding off’ his shirt, I'd give it more weight.

How I use those books are some parts jump out at me. They serve to confirm both the things that are progressing and the things that hold me back.

After I read your post, I saw a daddy-long-leg spider in my bathroom. I cornered him in a dixie cup, cupped the top off with a damp paper towel and put him on a bush. Usually, the flies get a chance at freedom because I figured I let them in and they are just as eager to leave. Like you I don’t provide a catch and release program to mosquitoes. I let the guys know that the deal is they've got to cooperate with me, otherwise my apologies for a shorter stay.

After the centipede incident yesterday, I got the creeps with any little itch or tingle. I was OCD about checking the floor and in my bed last evening.

Here’s one for spider:

• This is an opportunity to access your deepest wisdom and assimilate it so that it becomes a part of your daily living.
  
• Beware of any potential traps or ruses that you’re tempted to get involved in.
  
• Rather than staying stuck in this apparent impasse, open your mind to the infinite number of possibilities that are before you, and make a choice.
  
• Don’t limit yourself to the mundane world, but instead be willing to explore other dimensions and realities.
  
• It’s time to write creatively without limits of tradition or habit, allowing yourself to be inspired by Nature.

One might wonder why seeing a spirit animals can mean something. Well, animals and associated elements (as our conscious mind 'sees' them) are not connected to the world in the same way as our 'conscious' mind is.

They (that untrue separation thing again, it illustrates the fundamental separatist/reflective/mirror insanity of the ego mechanism) are not separate, they are inclusive, to a holistic level, of the universe and it's motions.

Like a clock ticking, like a river flowing, like a quantum dance, it is they who are more tuned and inclusive. It is us humans/ego/voice.. who have separation and illiteracy issues.

The animals and the other elements serve us notice... of our connectivity to all...by speaking to us of this fundamental connectivity.

Our seeing and noting their presence and context of their presence is fundamental quantum connectivity, our astrology does the same, the motion of time/reality and our flow in it -- is the same.

When one understands the context of this... there is no separation, there is no juxtaposition, it is all in our individual hall of mirrors called the 'ego mind', and it's thoughts on the idea of individualization and separation.

Everything we call language and communication in the ego world sense (the rolling ego mind-voice thing in separation-it is a vocalization echo, nothing more, it is not you), the Newtonian reality sense, the unidirectional world of time and reality aspects, all of that combines to create it's own separate language and meaning.

Yet the whole packages is based on the quantum fundamentals, which I earlier related to as being proven to exist as the fundamental of Newtonian reality. Where mainstream science finally made the connection. It was illustrated that the quantum fundamental(s) are inescapable in the Newtonian world, which is why 'animal spirits', or whatever other seeming 'other world' aspects, do indeed impact and fundamentally integrate with the Newtonian world.

As the experiments in consciousness and information illustrated, they being as the fundamentals in quantum aspects...their being the fundamentals in the Newtonian world..those experiments illustrated that one can ignore the quantum fundamentals if they wish and reality will form around that bubble of flow, but the fundamental remains the same. What underlies it's formation and flow, remains the same. The quantum fundamentals cannot be removed as they are the whole of the entirety.

As above, so below. The ego/vocalization can fake it, it can bubble itself, and be as a bubble world, but the connections and realities that underlie it will remain as they are. The clues and components of such will constantly peek through at all times as they are the very edifice itself.

The voice in your head, your speaking voice, your thought bubble system, this thought bubble communication in the Newtonian world thing...it is not you, this ego mechanism ----is not you.

We have to understand this ..and stop using this separatist thing that is off in it's own distorted and controllable bubble (hypnotics, NLP, emotions, etc), we have to stop seeing it as fundamental, as it is not. This Newtonian communications and connections device of ego, is not our underlying quantum self. The underlying self which is really in charge, really in the drivers seat, the place where it all comes from.... a place that has no Newtonian voice-world reality.

Day two of thousands of butterflies where I walk. I’ve never seen so many. They’re here to spread change. I soak in their rebirth, renewal, and regeneration energies.

Note to self: do not wear red, orange or yellow on walk.

Butterfly: "Get ready for a big change, one where an old habit, way of thinking, or lifestyle is going out, and a new way of being is emerging. It’s time to make the changes you’ve been considering. In spite of the challenges, you’ll get through this transition, and as always, know that “this too shall pass.”

92F/33C; 90F/32C

Day two of a three day high humidity and heat. Summer two of no air conditioner. I got a walk in early. Christine and the Queens accompany me the last couple of days. If I accomplish nothing else, it’s a productive day.

There are many things I do not comprehend, such as why, you, Carmody would have knowledge of such a film as Domino?
I never realized of its existence till you posted the link, which means you have knowing of it! I got throught 47 mins of it before I had to turn it off.

It reminds me of the dangers of misread things and being too literal. a bad combination. (graphic warning)

As this goes....another question to you all if I may.......how do you get unwell?
With all that you know, how can you become sick? I do not understand it?
I have not been unwell since this form was 7 and it supposedly is now 51.
Yes I have many issues, mainly due to my inability to utilize others (or resources) for personal gain but this does not require that which I conceive of to be in disease.
So HOW do you become unwell? Which I have read many times within many posts.
It would assist me greatly to have this discord that is a part of your beings explained if that is possible?

Many thanks


Edit to add:
Is that not funny....the number 47 has travelled with me for the last 7 years, it is always there as a companion.
And I posted this at 47mins past the hour. I did not know until the time until I viewed my post.
When I was 45 I thought it meant that I would leave this Terra of a physicality at this forms age of 47 even though I have reason to believe that this form expires two weeks before it is 90!
Oh well I shall see?

[Carmody]

There was no need to watch the film, it was only about context and meaning of misheard and misunderstood words. As taken in, by a linear and literal mind. What sort of consequences can take place. Domino is only a film, I've seen much worse. Urotsukidōji, for example. Not an experience I care to repeat but also illuminating as to extremes. Yet I've never watched 'the killing fields', as I find that ..difficult. Probably tied to how I rarely ever use people's names, even that of family. I tend to connect on a level that is deeper than names.

This one is interested in the rainbow of human life and exploring all it's corners. Some I will only touch, some I will explore deeply.

This one is interested in the increases in range as in the increase in range comes the basis of wisdom. In that there will be motions into darkness as well as light. Some will be more literal than others. This one may escape any time it desires to, for it knows the way. The way is individual, and the best that can be done is to illustrate via connection.

The Buddhist , one might say, occupies the silences and quiet, systems of ordered and controlled form and expects the acolyte to arrive at their doorstep, for a few lessons in what reality is and what to do with it. It is complimentary to the human way, but it is far from all, far from the only.

Before (and around) that way of the Buddhist occurs, comes... moments of integration with the world and others...which may show... something else is out there (or in there). (That before Buddhism, or in parallel to 'Buddhism as endeavor'... comes the prelude in the mind, the setting of the moment and context... in the given life, a life not lived in ways which lead to clarity of understanding of the existence of a formalized path)

Maybe something else altogether.

Enlightenment has no need to be defined, it can be found in the strangest areas, as can despair and loss. The carrier has no form ---what we seek...it is in everything. Which is why the Buddhists say (I paraphrase) that any honest search for the truth is valid.



All this tends to lead to a fairly dark sense of humour.

how about horses.. I'm SURROUNDED BY THEM EVERY DAY! I wake up to them playing at night sometimes (the babies are in the front half of our property near our bed room... that was a bad idea, apparently playing involves a lot of galloping.. which is way louder than you'd think).

Welcome back, Target.

“Animal Spirit Guides,” by Steven Farmer, PhD.

If HORSE shows up, it means:

• You’re about to embark on an unexpected adventure and will have to move very quickly once it’s initiated.
• It’s time to free yourself from those physically and emotionally constricting aspects of your life.
• You need to call upon reserves of stamina and strength to get you through this ordeal.
• You’re much more powerful than you think you are.
• This situation requires strong warrior energy, balanced with sensitivity, patience, and compassion.
• Teamwork with your family, friends, or community is important right now.

If WHITE HORSE:

• You’re very well protected from any negative or harsh psychic attacks.
• You’re being called to investigate other spiritual realms and dimensions through meditation, a vision quest, or shamanic journeying.

Call on HORSE when:

• You’re feeling held back by external circumstances or by conditioned beliefs about your supposed limitations.
• You’re feeling victimized and are blaming others for your current situation.
• You’re getting the urge to travel and explore new territories, yet have doubts and fears about acting on it.
• Your energy is low, and you need a boost of strength and endurance to handle the tasks before you.
• You’re being prompted to expand and deepen your spiritual practice, but you’re not sure how to go about it.

If HORSE is your POWER ANIMAL:

• Your personal freedom is of the highest priority—sometimes at the expense of others’ approval—and you buck whenever someone tries to stifle you in any way.
• Even though you know how to travel to other dimensions and realities, you still deal well with mundane issues and concerns.
• You’re very loyal to others once they’ve earned your trust.
• You love to wander about just for the sake of exploring, with no particular goal or agenda in mind.
• You’re a natural leader and evoke confidence in others.

Magnetic Rope observed for the first time between Saturn and the Sun

6 July 2016

A twisted magnetic field structure, previously never seen before at Saturn, has now been detected for the first time, using instrumentation built at UCL and Imperial College.

When the Sun’s magnetic field interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field (the magnetosphere), a complex process occurs called magnetic reconnection which can twist the field into a helical shape.


Magnetic Rope observed for the first time during the interaction between Saturn and the Sun

These twisted helically structured magnetic fields are called flux ropes or “flux transfer events” (FTEs) and are observed at Earth and even more commonly at Mercury. The conditions that allow FTEs to be generated at a planet worsen with distance from the Sun, however they have been observed at all the planets out to Jupiter.

The observation of this phenomenon at Saturn has been elusive. Searches have been undertaken to find an FTE with NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, with reports published of none being found. Up until now….

The Cassini spacecraft has been in orbit around Saturn since 2004, and after many years analyzing the data collected, Cassini has observed the first FTE at Saturn. The observed magnetic signature was successfully compared to that of a model to show that Cassini indeed observed a flux rope at this giant magnetosphere, and that the spacecraft passed close to the structure’s center. It is also estimated that the flux rope could be up to 8300 kilometers wide.

"Contrary to previous ideas about Saturn's magnetosphere being unlike its terrestrial counterpart, these findings reveal that Saturn at times behaves and interacts with the Sun in much the same way as Earth." Jamie Jasinski, UCL Space and Climate Physics PhD graduate now based at the University of Michigan, and lead author of the new paper published in Geophysical Research Letters.

This not only shows that magnetic reconnection occurs at Saturn but also that Saturn’s magnetic field can at times interact with the Sun in much the same way as at Earth.

The analysis was completed using a particle spectrometer built at UCL and a magnetometer built at Imperial College, both of which are onboard NASA’s Cassini spacecraft.

The Cassini mission will end in November 2017, when the spacecraft will be steered into the planet to study it, before disintegrating in Saturn’s thick atmosphere.
