Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

I know we should take a stand...find a cause and run with it.

Of all the dualities that have presented themselves in my lifetime, the China Tibet issue has been the toughest.
Until two years ago I was totally pro Tibet. I still consider the Dalai Lama an important Holy Man who appears to be genuine.
So far.

But I also have this questioning nature, and when I came across the work of the Trimondis
I started questioning what's behind the Tibet agenda.
Something is not quite right there.
After all, the mainstream media are endorsing it at a very high level.
That alone has been reason for concern.
It is just so difficult to find the truth, yet seek it we must.

My non-duality agenda brings me back to the Here and Now, and my fragmented ME.
Putting the shattered pieces back together again, cell by cell, fibre by fibre, brick by brick.

Interesting.
I just got invited to a sweat lodge on Saturday night.
From someone that knew nothing of my fasting
Nor meeting with father .
Life is so amazing when you are in the flow
and living completely at the hands of spirit .
I highly recommend it .

Thanks for all the well wishes for my meeting
With father much appreciated .

I have asked a friend to be present in the background
- they will probably be sleeping , for some added support.
Long history of physical emotional and psychological
abuse , hence the estrangement.
But he was the one that called this meeting,
so i can't deny him the chance to heal.
I just have to make sure I'm safe also .
6 months ago i would have said no way .

2 weeks ago I asked spirit to start helping me
to work on those dusty corners that are still
remaining to be resolved, or let go off.
Less than 3 days after that I get a call from him.
I still get amazed at the workings of the universe
It's truly wonderous .
My wish is one day every sentient being
gets to be embraced in the oneness of
her magnificence and her beauty.

Be love

astrid you are doing some *serious* work lately.

One cannot help but to admire and appreciate the example you are setting for us here.

I hope your meeting clears your issues and moves you along your path.

Hey Ulli seriously it takes alot to offend me (mars in scorpio). It was selfish reasons that made me wanna go back and shout HEY GUYS! NO MISUNDERSTANDINGS HERE PLEASE!!!!But to be honest I think most people just skipped over it. Nobody commented, they let it slide. Lessons learned all round I think. O I just love growing. Love your Avatar altho Il miss seeing your face, I get it. Androgenous soul. Yeah I like it.

They skipped over it because the thread was busy at the time. But would it have been so selfish of you to not want to be misunderstood?
I find on the whole people are either too consistent in their assertiveness, or don't assert themselves often enough which then leaves them feeling powerless.
Either behavior can cause feelings of injustice and disharmony in all parties concerned.

I am glad you got your chance to express those feelings, even if a couple of days later.
We are here to do battle against stereotypes, and honesty about what's going on inside ourselves is the first step.
So thank you for sharing that, Lisab.

Absolutely. Which is why I would never come to China's defense.
But there is always more stuff going on than meets the eye (I).
Especially in areas where we depend on the media.

Even Youtube Truth is at the mercy of photoshop whizzes.

Because I always have old issues coming to the surface I am begining to suspect I am the one who puts Mercury in Retrograde. Rather than Mecury going retrograde and causing past issues to come the surface.

In that case its not really retrograde, Mercury is just attempting to back pedal away from me as fast as possible and taking the rest of you with it.

I apologize for all the problems my past issues has caused everyone else.

Posted by transiten (here)
Yes for sure, Mercury is slowing down going retrograde on Nov 24...communication problems, delays. Old "issues" reemerging but also a perfect time for thinking things over and reorganize. Time to be flexible! Merry Christmas! Communication too early or too late Don't sign any contracts unless you've been tampering with this before since there's information missing. Doing things over and over again.

This one wins the funniest post-of-page-122-award.
And the other two 9eagle9 posts get second and third place.
I wish you'd move in, we have a quaint country cottage with fireplace for rent, and quite reasonable.

Aaaaahhhhh. The energy round here is delicious again. Can you feel it? I feel like Ive just had a long hot soak in the old Epsoms. Thanks for your post to me Ulli. Assertiveness is a big problem of mine and also being self critical, just two of the negative personality traits that my flower lady picked up on. Her flower remedy for me was blended intuitively by her and its so spot on, its amazing. Ive got tooth ache and mouth ulcers now. I never get that. Bring on the new shiny me!!!

Good luck with your dad Astrid and from me to a big thankyou.

I am eternal. I am one. I am's that I am's!!!!!!

It really is an amazing feeling and mental state, isn't it?

Every moment and every step; living in the now and in the flow.

Sitting in the little trailer I now call home, with my feet on the warm polished granite stone under the desk I share with my mate. It is cold and crispy this morning and the coastal fog has not burned away yet, so the sky I see through the window is soft and gray. Listening to the sounds of cars rushing past on the nearby freeway make swishing noises every few minutes. The electric wind chime adds it's sweet notes to softly caress my ears every few minutes.

In the background, the soft harmonious tones of Liquid mind playing through the computer speakers, while beside me my mate uses his Dremel tool to cut the delicate shapes of the LED healing devices we sell.... Now he is using a file and the soft sounds of his work fill the air.

I am a little sore and stiff today. My hands on the keyboard are wrinkled and spotted with age. I am sad to find my body growing into the aging program. I have no 'get up and go' in the moment and it feel nice to relax and share my simple life in this way.

I am glad there was a problem that needed moderator attention a couple of days ago here. Otherwise I might not have found out how sweet this thread is.

And I'm sure that your regular visits will make it even sweeter.
I feel honored that you dropped by.
We'll get to the age hurdle later...lots to share there. I sailed smoothly through the four O, as I finally found the right partner then, on my fortieth birthday.
Life begins at 40....I thought.
Not so easy to think that way at 50 and even less so at 60....as so many things change rapidly,
mostly to do with short term memory loss and aching joints.
Time begins to fly.

Several times when people shared their now moment and I had an awareness of their 'presence in the present' that then became like that bird dance.
For me, anyway. I can't speak on behalf of others.

Jorr my cat Yoshi is freakin out with all the birdsong, sniffing my computer here. Last night my little un dreamt that Yoshi was on our roof with a jetpack on trying to chase birds!! She's actually never bothered in reality tho. I think she's a new paradigm cat!

My Fleaman actually caught a bird once.
There was a baby magpie that had landed in the backyard of the place I was staying and it couldn't take off again, it was too weak.
Anyways, it was out in the yard for a day and a half.
I went out in the morning to check up on the bird and it was still there, running around, trying every now and then to take off.
Fleaman somehow got out and came running up to me.
He saw the bird and went straight at it and got his pay onto the little magpies back.
I yelled at him ''FLEAMAN! NO! IN THE HOUSE!''
He took off, leaving the bird and flew into the house.
The little bird was fine and flew away that afternoon with all the other magpies that had turned up to watch over it.

BBC 4 had a Nirvana night here last Friday night. I was in heaven. They also interviewed one of my favourite female bassists Kim Deal (the other is Tina Weymouth). I saw the Pixies on the Surfer Rosa tour, pregnant with my eldest Jack. The year was 1989. Man I'm down!

Meant to say thanks Calz!
