    "transition in transition...I don't believe in accidents when it comes to typos, nor Freudian slips.

    I'm ready to sing along"

    Thanks ulli ,it would have been great to have us all sing and howl like a pack of wolfs!
    I still haven't mastered the quotation technique to get the nice blue quotationmarks......i'll make them myself.....transition, yes please!

    Nighty night! Time is 22.22

    Goodmorning ulli! You mean you really typed "transition"? I actually planned to be with my father on Oct 28, End of Mayan Calendar Calleman style. Many years ago i wrote a song "Venus" living on "Starshieldstreet" long before i heared about the Mayan Calendar. I knew though that in Greek mythology Venus was regarded as Godess of Love as Evening star but Godess of War as Morning star.............

    "Early one morning did Venus pass by, she twinkled there through my window
    Orion the Hunter was there by her side..........................................................."

    Anyway i woke up at 5 from a very disturbing telephonecall and looking out my window Venus was there and Orion to the left. (I hung up immediately and said the Ho'oponopono) First post i saw when joining Divinecosmos was about whether Orion is all negative or not. I've had strong syncs with Orion and interestingly one cannot see Orion and Scorpio (my sun sign) at the same time. In the Greek myth Artemis sent a scorpion to sting Orion since he killed everything in his way.

    Well ever since i've been focused on Venus and the Mayan Calendar. The Venus passage also ends 2012 on the Swedish national holiday june 6 the date i happened to join Avalon The Mayans noted that during the Venuspassage when Venus passes before the Sun twice with 8 years in btw every second hundred years, there was unrest and uprising because of the elite's powerabuse but also communication breakthroughs.

    But I feel sorry for guys at the moment, as the male/female energies are intergrating they look scared.
    Hi Lisa,

    It was great to read your words there, having first read of this inevitability quite a few years ago, and as with you, it was written in a compassionate manner. I readily acknowledged the concept at the time, and felt grateful for being, I hoped, somewhat "ahead of the game". That may well be attributable to having had a Mother who set the better example to me as a child. I actually see this playing out all around me, with men's behaviour either being tempered with the integration of feminine energy, or hardening (crumbling actually) as they seek refuge in an even more pronounced expression of the stereotypical male. They are afraid, for the game is changing in a very real sense, and it is only right that we should feel compassion for them.

    Thanks Lisa

    More social satire from King Missile. I was looking for the song by them called 'real men', which is pee yourself funny. But alas, it is not on the net, in video form. Warning, this is a bit strong. BTW, they were doing this about 20 years back.

    I can think of at least 4 methods and technologies of enacting such. Two already exist in stories and reports. No, three. OK, I've got 5 potential ways to make one.

    A bit strong is right, but hey, it's easy to forget about that reality when in Barbados, so I needed the reminder.
    Even if that reality is twenty years ago, it's still true.
    The emotional state it put me into is now radiating out to all the occupy places.

    Is there no gentle approach? I had all my amalgam fillings replaced in 1997 but didn't do the detox.
    Will need to look into this.
    My current energy lapse is due to the heat here, I figured.

    This is the gentle approach .
    Main detox component is chlorella an algae,
    I have to take it for 4 months 30tabs a day ,
    60 on day 14 , a rest day then start over.

    Also have some other things some minerals ,
    A herbal tea mix and some homeopathic tabs.
    This dentist is holistic even uses muscle testing
    Was trained in Germany .
    Very luck to find him really.
    After 6 months I go back for more testing ,
    And all going well we then detox my brain .
    They use coriander for that.

    And this is not just for Merc it
    will clean out other heavy metals too .

    coffee pots and renovating houses with lead paints

    So what do you make of that disturbing phone call? The last one like that came at 3 am a couple of days around the time my son was born. In 1979. There I was, expecting to go into labour any moment and some guy calls and asks me what colour panties was I wearing? I wonder if it was my son's spirit, already thinkng of women's underwear.
    I'm going to confront him next time I talk to him.
    Like you I also tend to connect two coinciding events, but am inclined to be skeptical about ancient mythology. Always have been. Although I like to play with the concepts, I don't like the characters of those dudes so I refuse to be identified.

    Everyone I meet wants me to read some book they are reading which my words remind them of. Western civilization has turned everyone into readers. I was the same. In fact, when I moved to Costa Rica I was shocked to see no book shelves other than what they had there to read for some law degree. Most houses have a dusty bible on a stand in the entrance hall, open on the page of the 23rd psalm. But no reading. So that Latino culture changed me...gradually. Activated my right brain hemisphere.
    Why should I read some author who is now capitalizing on thoughts I have had for decades? Maybe my thoughts reached him over the ether and he went "wow, I can make money with these thoughts! Let me write them down." Lots of readers ready to buy books.
    My point with this rant is the more we stand in our personal power, the less we are reached by disturbances. That's what I mean by being shielded.

    Hmmm...taking 60 pills in one day would have me convinced I was taking an overdose.
    But you said he trained in Germany?
    That figures.

    Glad to hear about the coriander, though. It is part of staple diet in Costa Rica.
    They have more of that in the vegetable markets than lettuce even.
    They put it in everything, except coffee.

    Good to know I have been detoxing my brain for twenty years then.
    But I'm out of Gingkho and memory lapses are increasing...

    And this is not just for Merc it
    will clean out other heavy metals too .
    Years of using Aluminium
    coffee pots and renovating houses with lead paints
    not all that healthy ..
    Hmmm...taking 60 pills in one day would have me convinced I was taking an overdose.
    But you said he trained in Germany?
    That figures.

    Glad to hear about the coriander, though. It is part of staple diet in Costa Rica.
    They have more of that in the vegetable markets than lettuce even.
    They put it in everything, except coffee.

    Good to know I have been detoxing my brain for twenty years then.
    But I'm out of Gingkho and memory lapses are increasing...
    Good Morning Ulli and Astrid and All You 'Here and Nowers' : )

    Just a reminder...understanding You understand...the Sun is an integral part of Our adjustments 'from and to' any physical clean-up / transition.
    Being more Conscious of the Healing/Life-Giving Light helps Us adjust...Soooo Connect a bit more Your Own Way if You are drawn to do so.

    Love, Love, Love from a Sungazer / Solar Meditator of The Third Kind : )

    thought long time about "how can i change the workplace to something more positive".
    Didn't come up with anything.
    It just happened.
    Upon shift changeover, i was compelled to introduce the "hugfest".
    I just hugged a co-worker, and everyone wanted to partake.
    Grand.
    And, a complete no-brainer [in more than one sense].

    Hi ulli,

    Here is a thought..............

    I used to possess a veracious appetite when it came to books. A case in point is when I first encountered Gnostic thought over ten years ago. Before I knew what was happening, I had amassed an impressive library, including rare and out of print editions. To this day, some of those books remain unread, and although I have been heavily influenced by Gnostic teachings, the essence could have been communicated verbally in a few short minutes, with the remaining material serving more of a support role; a form of evidence if you like.

    I have also read that our often insatiable appetite for books and learning is often fueled by our inability / unwillingness to put into action what we have already learned. My library is quite large, and some time ago I had to admit that a good portion of it was simply repetitive; same old themes and teachings, over and over ad-nauseam. Why the repetition; I was lazy, and trying to offset that laziness with further study, intellectual vanity masquerading as a desire for further study. I needed to get off my arse, and put into practice what I had learned, and that'll take the rest of my days!

    The truths that we all require are simple; Universal Truths are simpler still.

    I don't read anywhere near as much as I used to, though I still treasure my library.

    Dear Heyoka_11

    Thank you for a brilliant post.
    I knew you had that library
    and I also knew that you hadn't read it all....didn't need to.

    And I also have that attachment to those books...
    sometimes I wonder what would happen if I did a ceremonial book-burning.
    I already gave away most of my sic-fi books, then my Tarot and occult books which
    I donated to an old man who had shop in his house in Barbados, selling rare books.
    That was over 30 years ago. While there I bought my copy of the I Ching
    which served me well over all these years.
    The only books I could never give away were Gurdjieff, Astrology, and Baha'i.
    The Gnostic teachings were downloaded into me directly while I was sleeping.
    You don't have to believe it, but it's true.
    Then I was guided to a forum called Nagual, also later guided to listen to John Lash
    although I refuse to accept anyone else's mythology, as I explained earlier.
    WE are the makers of today's urban myths, right here at Avalon, and in particular the VILLAGE...
    actually....me sitting in this chair typing these spots on my screen.
    The same goes for each and every one of YOU.
    Become the myth makers of this age. WE are Mount Olympus.

    By the way, you being a Capricorn as well...we Capricorns get the essence quickly, being abstract thinkers.
