Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ernie Nemeth]

Meant to respond to I forget who, sorry (was it 1in many?), with this poem.

IMAGINATION


I wonder what would become of me
If I surrendered my ego,
And if I loved the world I know,
What would I truly see?
I ponder how it would affect me
When I realize we’re the same,
Beneath the hype before the blame,
We’re all born to be free.
I picture a new and happy me,
My ego no longer my own,
What’s freely willed is further grown
‘Till all live happily.
The vision for this new fulfilled me
Hinges upon all the others,
You, my sisters and my brothers,
Preceed my destiny.
The image held of this joyful me
Would go out of the way to give aid,
And revel in the progress made
By those helped to glory.
My notion of the new age new me
Precludes judgement of all mankind,
Helps all explore and test and find
The life they choose to be.
I fancy that this enlightened me
Would be transformed, turned inside out,
Flipped around then come about,
For ME upside down is WE.

What a beautiful morning! Bright sunshine...blue skies. A warm 46F (relatively speaking, of course) for this time of year. So happy to be.

Caught up on several pages of here and now. Reading through in one sitting, I can feel the ebb and flow of the conversations and find it soothing.

What comes to mind is allow. Allow things to be just as they are and simply observe. A feeling here and a thought there, and observe the slight shift. I see my part in this dream we live in and how we each affect it...like tossing a pebble in the water causes ripples to ebb and flow outward, all we are ripples through time and space. No struggle. No need to control.

Holding space and allowing my inner peace and joy to flow...here and now.

modwiz on a roll indeed.

5 (count 'em) 5 of these little guys in one post???

Either some serious machine gun posting or else showing off his ability to operate outside of time as we understand it.

It's quite likely he is operating outside of time, I agree with you there.
Only The Here and Now exists for him, when he goes there,
which is illustrated by his "incon-sequential" comment.
No more flowing from here to there, nor now to then.

I'll be watching him, though, as there seems to be dog-ma creeping in.
If he gets worse I'll be forced to use my atomizer, but first I'll try the big stick.

But then again, he might have been asking for trouble on purpose having carefully planned this provocation.
A very aquarian thing to do.
In which case there is no need for a response other than letting him know how transparent he is.
Wizzard my azz.

Oh my ... that word again.

Has not the war to end all wars already been waged???

This one is well done. Some feel that "spamming" up youtubes is a cop out ... but I could not approach conveying what is being brought across here (and now) regardless of how many 5000 word limit posts I concatenated.

It is very warm here too, it was high fifties/ low sixties yesterday and today looks like it going to do a rinse and repeat today of the oddly warm weather we've been having--to the point my daugher asked if the equator had flipped. More concerned about getting stick in mud than in the snow... We had some wintery weather in December , for the most part we get more rain than snow.... Its not been cold enough to have the snow stick, or to even freeze the ground (seas--oceans--POOLs of mud here) but this beyond what anyone could hope for in a mild winter and i'm loving it. But hey didn't everyone say 2012 was going to bring great earth changes..lol. It's going to be unseasonably warm for the next two weeks as well so I'm pushing that we are to skip winter all together. I took the Nightmare out for a ride under the almost full moon last night and it was just like being out in early spring. So yeah, I'm just allowing the weather, not crazy, not weird, just allowing. I'm not above tampering with the weather but hey when you don't have to....all the better.

This vid is no cop out, Calz. Perhaps should be required viewing for all members of Avalon? Imagine the difference that would occur...the village would need many more houses and hotels! Infinite possibilities of quality, growth and change, not only here but in the world as a whole as well.

Well done. Thanks.

That's not the kind of war I had in mind.
Here is a sneak preview of my atomizer. Just don't tell Modwiz.

Awoke to gorgeous summer rain here .
Heavy and cleansing .
Yesterday I started getting ready for study
which led me to having a clean up .
Reorganized my bedroom, more altar spaces
and less clutter . I awoke to a whole different
space and much better energy flow, i even slept the
night through for a change.
Really excited about study it's going to give me the
structure i need . What's more encouraging is that I'm
thinking about money making again . When I blocked
out my week time wise I gave myself 3 energy out
days 3 energy in days and one day of balance.
Thought that was an interesting , spirit driven take
on energy management . They are teaching me well.
Went through first month of class notes and printed
them out . Teacher is organized thankfully will make
up for me being anything but . Also very anti guru
and dogma, so far all things pointing towards it
being a good fit.

Just then a raven crows in the distance .

Much to my surpise when I watched Contact that gimboling gizmo they constructed in the movie was exactly, to a T, the same energy device I was given in my writing--just on a much larger scale. I hope someone sees that thing for what its since I haven't a clue ....(Carmody?)

Posted by dan33 (here)
One of my favorite films. Many coincidences or "shocks" with CONTACT. I think that movie could be a little black hole in my time line. You take this movie out, the present will be different.

I am loving our mild Winter. I am thanking Her every day and night for the sweetness of it all. I accede that there might need to be a few weeks of freeze temperatures so the Maples can recharge themselves. I am not a fan of the air biting me skin and threatening frostbite.

Reading about mushrooms by modwiz.... i've rescued a post in King Anthony's "Inusual Experiences"

THE AYAHUASCA EXPERIENCE

Some years ago i attended on an ayahuasca's "ritual" (Ayahuasca is any of various psychoactive infusions or decoctions prepared from the Banisteriopsis spp. vine, usually mixed with the leaves of dimethyltryptamine-containing species of shrubs from the Psychotria genus")
After 30 minutes of drinking the brew, my inner world changed. The first I saw-experienced, was a technological room, full of greenish light, like you see through an infrared camera. There were the "grays" experimenting with human beings. There was no emotion on this "step". The next one, and so on, where brightness and colorful. On one stage, i enterded on an egyptian temple. I't was a virtual labyrinth tour, full of colors, like on a Disney 3D Digital movie. The hierogliphs were so "crispy" that i would draw ... so easily (then). The tour ended breaking a dome, and fly away

Oh, and of course, Contact. Even though I'm angry at Carl Sagan for what he said about astrology...but I guess "they" forced him to do that, too.

yes, I remember Carl Sagan talking about astrology ... reading the horoscope of the newspaper and trivialized it. COSMOS was a great event. It was the first series that I recorded on VHS .... or maybe Brideshead Revisited. The VTR weighed 6 kilos .... and it still works after thirty years.

I had a laugh, too...thinking about my earlier comment about that big stick....
