    this is the sort of story I would use on those 'other forums', to show people how broken or convoluted they were, with regard to their mental processes. I'd explain the specific details of their mental formation to them, so they had little capacity to turn away. I took their hidey-holes away. You can imagine how endeared they were with my cool logical analysis of their mental function. (ie, this is truth and this is where you are broken-this is how your internal lie forms)

    But I was fine with that.

    They had read the words I had written, and in that act, they had eaten the entire thing..and it is/was only a matter of time before it would percolate through their system. Like a photograph of a horrific accident...that they cannot get out of their minds. Ever. Their first mental goatsee mirror..


    I failed to clarify that I used myself as the teardown model for the situation. ie, that we are all together in this situation of having this mental block issue. that I fought with mine just a bit harder, and that maybe they should consider so themselves. Of course it took me a bit of time (years, overall, to be consistent) and some tries to get the message correct, so I was not making posts that I would not read.

    Hey JB thank you

    and I appreciate you too some sage (northern) is better for clearing and some (white) is better for opening up.....cedar is good for protection & the mind, sweetgrass is good for attracting good spirits, if you are working with plants in their natural habitat -good idea to leave an offering of tobacco for their spirit and the spirits for their help in working w/you..... also would like to add that there is a mold that grows on the side of pine & oak that you can cut off & dry, burn for the smoke -negative or evil spirits cannot stand it..... burning hair works pretty well too.

    Carmody -am working on reading the lithium thread -have been thrown off or my computer has gone wacko....three times now. I have a copy of Thoete & the emerald tablets.....will start there for now. Geeze there is much resistance from certain imposing forces. Funny thing about it all is that I am just a nugget -small potato.

    Seems pertinent to a lot right now.....and not an in your face imposing this is it I got the answer like so many threads here. Here & now going with trusting my own spirit & inner knowings & promptings.

    Nora

    we are all related
    The hard part about bringing that 'data' forward is that I was not liking that it can be mistaken to be or identified with fear. That is not the point, to me. I view it now..with a sort of dispassion, or objectively. The body may still fear a bit but the spirit does not. and if one finds that the spirit is real, from all our bits of experimentation, then there is little to be fearful of. More mindful and careful, than anything else.

    I have to be careful when disseminating such information ,as my own 'memories' do clearly speak to me on the idea of karma, regarding the idea of life choices within the context of remembered lives. Making a bunch of people fearful through indiscriminate posting, is one good solid way, IMO, to generate unwanted karma. Yet the topic and it's breadth, once looked at -openly and dispassionately- seems to speak on being relevant and important. I agonized for a month before posting it. In the first post I asked the reader to consider ways out of the fear complex, if such a thing where true. Which means much, if it is true.

    To re-iterate what is largely the first thing I say in that thread..that if one was to 'meet' a dimensional reptilian, then all bets on the ideas of reality are OFF, regardless of how one's mind is wired. If it comes to be as a reality that one witnesses, then one is also forced to understand that they cannot die, and thus regain their own spiritual balance, while in the flesh. This, due to the built in considerations of 'rules of reality' having been shattered. Fear dissipates at that exact moment as it tries to enter one's being/flesh, for all intents and purposes.... as everything else starts to be true, like being immortal on some level and then stepping into a more full consciousness and connected duality. To meet a reptile is to laugh at one's blindness, and one can then claim their own birthright and energies, in one paired moment.

    To reiterate..If I see even ONE reptilian..I am automatically broken from a life cycle of fear and karma, as in that moment... I begin to know, to be, to become...to the core... a more evolved truth of some sort.

    Pure. Simple. Unavoidable. Logic.

    I'm not saying 'bring the reps on!", but, if real, they break all fear in the face of logic, they do not enhance said fear. My body enhances the fear, due to it's origins and design. Think it through if you can't quite see it.....

    This is all covered in more depth in the 'soul harvester' thread.

    I'm off to sleepy land, and as we used to say in the taxi business, when a fare came along: "off on another taxi adventure!"

    Thanks.
    That post was taken down...incorrect information.
    So what was it about? Would you like to fill us in a bit?
    You had not heard about the events at El Hierro, or the Spanish government not telling all that is happening?
    And also, would you care to share your concerns about it all.

    I would like to remind everyone that this thread has been called 'Here and Now, What's Happening'
    not with the intention of making it a latest headline news information sharing thread,
    but rather would like to see reports of a personal encounter with one's reality, and the emotions and thoughts such reality released in each of us.
    (Example...I have been following the El Hierro new volcano erupting
    and am beginning to feel concern about this event becoming life threatening...as we live on the eastern seaboard of the US and could be severely affected in case of a tsunami.)
    Personal.
    IOW, it's also ok to write about memories surfacing, and about visions and dreams of one's future, but then follow up with some personal commentary.
    This also goes for Dan's movie clips. What was it about them that made you want to share them?
    And then
    remain in context, if a brief conversation arises, which would also be ok.

    Just remember, there are thousands of threads on the Avalon forum that would serve any news sharing impulse.

    I'm off to sleepy land, and as we used to say in the taxi business, when a fare came along: "off on another taxi adventure!"
    I had a nightmare phase when I was younger, and was scared to go to sleep, knowing that unpleasant experiences were awaiting me.
    To enter sleep is to face reality, an alternative reality, and one which is generally considered unreal.
    Yet dreams have this powerful effect, that they can set the tone of an entire day.
    So meeting an other-dimensional being like a reptilian...where is the difference?
    Still a reality one has to come to terms with.

    I woke up an hour ago after having an intricate dream about being at art exhibitions
    where I met some gay friends...all male. My past life memories are about being a gay male, and
    I always used to think I was a gay guy in a female body. My taste in men is gay taste, too.

    Here and now have just given myself a delicious reiki bath. Feels wonderful to do something for myself.
    Alot of chemtrails here in Wales the last few days, like everywhere else it seems, more or less, at least in the West. Yesterday I felt like Ernie and I got really angry so I just stayed with the feelings and let it out. Today feel much calmer about it all and more in forgiveness and letting go.

    My cat Yoshi is a great lesson in detatchment for me, not at all a cuddely cat, unlike my last cat. I guess she's a reminder of my current lesson.

    More Peter Sellers Dan!! I want to get What's New Pussycat too now Ulli. Im sure he was a Pisces, am I correct Ulli. Great mimic. xxx

    I also came across Peter Sellers' name...coincidentally a couple of minutes ago...
    an old friend, a former Miss Barbados, mentioned him in an article published today in a Barbados newspaper.
    Anyone into consciousness study ought to watch 'Being There', and 'What's New Pussycat'


    http://famous-relationships.topsyner.../AstroData.asp
    Peter Sellers, born September 8th, 1925, 6 am, Southsea, England.
    I know quite a few Virgos who are excellent mimics, as well as comedians, my own father included.
    I once walked into a room where a Virgo was impersonating me...that was the weirdest experience. But in those circles that kind of biting wit was quite common...
    never leave to go to the bathroom, or you are next.

    Consciousness study ... thanks Ulli... another look at 'Being There' might be on the agenda this afternoon if it rains, as it is threatening now.

    I'm getting out for my walk early. I think the weather elfins won't let me get wet.

    I can't tell you how many times it's been raining in the morning as I'm getting ready for work, then it stops as I run to the car (no room in the garage for a car, silly). It rains on the way, but stops as I get there. Starts again once I'm in the building. So cool to experience!

    There's a funny Mark Twain story about weather apprentices in New England, will see if I can find it, and post a link.

    Love,
    Marianne

    Got a call just now from the guy who mimicked me all those years ago...
    'Talk of the devil', is the older version of
    "where focus goes, energy flows',
    not much is "new" about New Age.
    Same old, same old......

    Peter sellers, Sept 8th, 1925. Virgo. British, but ethnically Jewish. I Should have known he was Jewish.....Was my favorite actor. Always a problem that, my favorites always die. To the last person. So I decided, just in case, to never have any favorites again.

    as for the known part, it was an episode of William Shatner's show 'Raw Nerve' that illustrated this point to me. Something another friend had said to me earlier. That Jewish actors or in many cases, people, period, have the gift of caricature, if one where to consider it a gift. Gene Simmons, of the group Kiss, was his guest. I realized that all of William's guests I had seen on it, were Jewish. As was he, which I never even thought about. Gene Simmons said that it seems to have been a derivation from the constant moving about of the tribe. Where to 'fit in', they tended to become the societal norm they were immersed in, but as a caricature, one that was and is 'over the top'. The gift of acting, as hollywood portrays it, due to it's roots.

    Gene said that when, for example, if one were to go to New Jersey, and run into a bunch of typical kids from Jersey....there might be one in the crowd that was so 'jersey' that they seem like they epitomize the poster child for the world's idea of a 'kid from joisey'. The accent, the behavior, the dress, etc. a cardboard cut out of extreme signals and character. He said that if you find out the kid's name, they'll turn out to be Jewish.

    Thus Peter's gift for the howlingly funny portrayal of comedic extremes that he was capable of. Gene's point was that this is what the group kiss was all about. that Kiss, was and is a purposeful extreme caricature...and that he never mistook it for anything else and he never meant it to be anything else. He said that everything about that group was systematic and thought out. People's mistake, was the indication, that they ever mistook it for anything else than a caricature. from day one...I saw the fascination with Kiss as very puzzling, to say the least. I found them to be an embarrassment to humanity.

    this is why some prefer European or other films, over that of Hollywood, or 'north American' film sensibilities, overall, as group indicators are normed. Hollywood is, for the most part, about caricature, and try not to mistake it for anything else. euro film are more about the portrayal of human realities, as film. (real workouts/portrayals of real issues) Which is why 'The Oscars' as a concept and reality...are over the top by such a great amount, as it is this 'caricature award system'.

    Whereas Cannes film festival is about FILM. About people and the feeling and portrayal of such. A massive difference between the two.

    As I aged and grew into an adult, I found that my film tastes moved solely into the Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, etc film festival awards as being indicators of the kinds of films I would prefer. As I became a human being over that of the emulating caricature of youth; ie I 'grew up' and stopped looking at things I felt I had to incorporate to be an 'adult'... that I gravitated toward real portrayals over that of the Hollywood system.

    This is a large part of the ongoing disturbance of American culture that is perpetrated and centered on this overall complex issue in front of us -today. A system that is hooked on maintaining a level of deep childishness in the overall gestalt of the entire continent.

    To be sure, there is massive differentials and proliferation of differences in individuals in western society... and very many centered and grounded adults abound in western society, but there is an overall cast of childishness and lack of growing up --in the overall unconscious connection in the public acts, and connections of the entire continent, and anything connected to 'western society'.

    For.. .at this time (and slowly evolving into over the past 200+ years)..western society and culture/civilization...is now connected irredeemably in the minds of most... to the idea of North American culture/civilization (an oxymoron at it's worst example). Which in my opinion, is a shameful hodge-podge of immaturity centered around wrongheaded ideas on spirituality and human relation.

    The problem comes when the society is so debased along these lines that no path is available for even the thinking searcher within the system. In Asian or other cultures, the path remains. The 'shingle' as one might say (shingle hung, meaning: advertisement) is firmly hung out the and capable of being seen. One can find a doorway to proper human growth.

    And that which is seemingly a problem in this world, seems hellbent on removing any capacity for individuals who are born into 'western' culture to find these higher paths, by erasing and eradicating the remaining pockets of illumination and correctness in spiritual matters and thus, removing paths for ultimate maturity for the given incarnate being. Thus the great convoluted aspect of 'hidden in plain sight' western cultural immaturity. Too many are immature and cannot see it. Living too much in childish learning mode of reflection. Not enough thought by the involved. And even the capacity for that is being removed. A downward spiral of the worst kind.

    Thus the basic deep insult and wrongheadedness of what is going on in the world but is so epitomized by and through... and well... the contrived caricature of western actions and behavior.

    Thus the line from Gandhi.. when asked about his thoughts on western civilization: "What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea."

    New England Weather
    by Mark Twain
    I reverently believe that the Maker who made us all makes everything in New England but the weather. I don't know who makes that, but I think it must be raw apprentices in the weather-clerk's factory who experiment and learn how, in New England, for board and clothes, and then are promoted to make weather for countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere if they don't get it.
