Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Cottage Rose]

I had an unusual dream last night...... I was back working at a Treasury Agency. As often occurred due to changing polictical climates, a restructuring of departments was in progress. My boss and I were moving to a new area of the building. Construction of offices was ongoing and movers and workers were everywhere. As often occurred, my desk was moved first so that I could arrange the new office.

I was upset for several reasons: Still another restructuring of departments, my new area would be among strangers instead of friends, an upper floor panoramic view I had grown to love was being replaced by the view of a new futuristic monorail system on that side of the building. (This is not completely unusual because my actual former office area had a monorail system, but it was mostly used by tourists. And, I lived in a nearby complex where the monorail system was eye level in the distance from my balcony creating a Jetsons type ambiance.) But, the rail in this dream was extremely high speed, just a shiny blurr running at frequent intervals outside the window. Automatic doors opened for large groups of embarking and departing passengers within the view of my temporary desk.

In the interim, it was necessary to walk a long distance several times a day to communicate with my boss and take care of business. On one such time he handed me a crystal decanter with one of those gold tags on a chain identifying the contents. The engraving read, "Monatomic Gold". He asked me to keep the decanter at my desk and feel free to use as much as I wanted. Arriving back at my desk, I moved some files to the floor and set the decanter down on a corner while pondering this odd occurrence.

Later, my boss hurried by saying he would be away at a meeting for several days. He boarded the monorail and sped away. I sat quietly for a moment, then poured some of the monatomic gold into an empty coffee cup and sipped it.... Disorientation shifted into transcendence and the dream ended.

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

Oh nicely played m' queen

I shall slink back to the shadows then

... or will I???

There are no shadowy corners left in our brightly lit Village, as you well know.

I feel this is a premonition dream.
Your boss represents your will...the decision making you, the part of you that takes charge.
The monorail represents high speed progress in your life...you moving ahead swiftly.
Monatomic gold, monorail, all this mono stuff...is about single mindedness?
Entering a busy time with your business?

No, Ulli. I related to Astrid when she said she has a knack for business, but no drive for moneymaking at the present time.
I stepped away from my business a couple of years ago.

Hope all villagers are well.

This is a great dream Cottage Rose

this is your dream and i am not a dream interpreter please take what i say with a grain of salt and just adding my perspective, but i would say this is a dream of integration of your spirit/Spirit; your boss is you, your upset because you were leaving your friends -parts of you that you may not need anymore/or they are integrating and the view is different a different view point. Spirit and your spirit created form, the past, moving up to another office as a reference point for you to integrate spirit and be able to access a plane(s) & dimension(s) that have finer vibrations -hence the monatomics. Looks like you got alot all in one full swoop -recapitulation, present and future. Your thinking about this "odd occurrence" keeps you connected to the physical -your boss/spirit leaving allows you choice / feeling dis-oriented like reorganization/ you chose to integrate more micro/macro the monatomics. Really cool dream.

Nora,

did you realize how STRONG these words vibrate?!?

Here and now, inspired by our modwiz,
i have to post this:

Not feeling down at all,
just marvelling at how
feeling down can inspire
such beauty and warmth.
Peaceful. I feel home in this.

and, lyrics are full-on "here and now" style.
I bet writing took about song length's time.

Have a smooth Sunday, villagers.

[modwiz]

Here and now enjoying a flawless Full Moon sky is clear except for playful wisps of clouds on occasional gusts of wind. The temperatures are above freezing and my lawn is snow free. Just the way I like it. Just finished listening to the King's X song, so generously posted by meeradas. My planets suck a little but wizzy ain't playin'. Just a little bit of unpleasantness like a wet cat rubbing up against you. It isn't all bad.

I went on a bike ride today and subsequently discovered how to use iMovie.

Just took dog I am fostering for a walk at midnight under the full moon. Quiet, clear, and calm a rarity where I live in LA. It has been that way on the whole for the last week--totally out of character. Min Chi has now been gone for three days. She left like she came-- of her own free will. For whatever reasons, this house is not what she had in mind. I have met a lot of queens like her. She never really bonded with Sam. Never slept with him, cleaned him or vice versa.

A week ago I committed to fostering a dog from Thailand. Apparently, the government there cracked down on puppy farms breeding to use the fur for coats. Something Asians have no aversion to unlike Americans. So this rescue organization here in LA has been flying them here by the plane load. They say she is a type of pharaoh hound. She looks a lot like a black and tan basenji. She came here at two months and is now 8 months. She has lived her entire life essentially in a crate. I have to pry her out to take her for a walk. The first walk was a half a block in which she crawled. At midnight she walked in circles around me--so that is progress. She won't sit at my feet but she will sit calmly in my lap. The rescue people carry her from place to place as they do not have time with so many dogs to teach them anything.

She has a new fleecy blanket, two cuddly toys, and some small leather chew bones which she seems to like best. She and Sam have smelled one another. No hissy or barking etc. Silence. Sam is really giving me the evil eye and while he is not a lap cat. He apparently does not want to share his home. He is not on my lap but at my feet staring into the dog cave. He is going to have to get used to the fact I will keep his life interesting. LOL Dog is named Kimba.

Malvin Artley is an Australian astrologer, and I've received his periodic letters for several years now. Just received Capricorn Solar Festival 2012 today and wanted to share a part of it. It's long, so I won't post it all here. His website (www.malvinartley.com) isn't being updated regularly, as I believe he is still on sabbatical. You can sign up on the website and receive his occasional letters.

In this one he is talking about 2012, world conditions, and suffering/enlightenment.

... If we look at this idea of ascension in consciousness not in terms of a year or specific point in time, but in terms of a gradual evolution over a period of lifetimes, then the whole idea of 2012 as the start of a ‘new earth’, ‘end times’ and ‘ascension’ takes on its true meaning, in my way of thinking. Perhaps the first decades of the 21st Century do indeed mark the beginnings of the end times – the point that brings many people back to a sense of what is real and genuine about life, that takes us away from meaningless activities (like spending the bulk of one’s leisure time in front of a computer screen, i-phone or a television) – those ‘end times’ actually meaning the gradual ending of the roots of our suffering.

The funny thing about suffering (I can hear you laughing now) is that it eventually ushers us to the path of happiness. Do we suffer from financial woes, broken loves, lost dreams, bad health, irritating neighbors, a crashed app or computer, or the whole host of ills that make up the demons that daily torment us? Let’s face it – the world can be a fairly irritating place a lot of the time. Or, do we face and cast those castigating demons onto the burning ground (the only true hell), take up our cross and ascend the path (another Capricornian rite of passage) that leads to lasting happiness – our own self-realization? In the end, that missed email or TV show, the bad date, the neighbor’s barking dog and our irritation over them only serve to increase our own sense of torment at the hands of others, when in reality it is our own lack of self-responsibility that causes us to endlessly torment ourselves over the affairs of this world.

When ambition for the world becomes ambition to leave the cares for it behind (without neglecting our responsibilities, of course, for Capricorn is about responsible management of time and resources as well), then we know we are well on the way toward our lasting happiness. Nothing of this world is permanent – things, relationships, life itself. How can one ever find lasting happiness in something that does not last? That very question is at the root of all spiritual practise and striving.

The Chinese associate Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, with the sweet taste, yet in esoteric astrology Saturn is the planet where mental suffering is known, where the principle of limitation is brought to bear and where opportunity for growth is realized. How can these two disparate factors – sweetness and suffering – be of the same planet? Symbolically, the sweetness associated with Saturn is the sweet taste of victory, the mountaintop experience of Capricorn. It is spiritual attainment to which we refer here. Worldly ambition and the amassing of material things shows us the path of suffering and only momentary happiness. The choice of worldly pleasures has its own bitter reward, and as we know, ‘you can’t take it with you’.

Through our attachments to pleasures and outcomes, eventually we wake up one day and think to ourselves, “Why do I keep setting myself up for continual heartbreak,” since we know that ultimately separation from what we have desired will eventually have to come? Choices have consequences. That is ever the hard lesson of Saturn. On the other hand, choices also hold opportunities, which are wafted to us on the breeze of the sweet sense of a worthy goal. That is the other aspect of Saturn, the mentor and teacher of self-discipline. Both are valid paths, and both ways ultimately lead us to meet with our teachers. Saturn, via Capricorn, is the great Teacher of the zodiac.

If anyone wants the whole letter, PM me with an email address and I'll forward it to you.

Love,
Marianne

You obviously have not witnessed the effectiveness of modwiz'z new line of "cloaks of invisibility".

Quite the clever feller that one ...

Stunning.

Just waking up (have not even managed a bit of coffee yet) but when I saw this I had the overwhelming desire to be there.

Very odd ... not a "oh how cool" ... but more a "longing to be there".

Sup with dat?

I had an unusual dream last night...... I was back working at a Treasury Agency. As often occurred due to changing polictical climates, a restructuring of departments was in progress. My boss and I were moving to a new area of the building. Construction of offices was ongoing and movers and workers were everywhere. As often occurred, my desk was moved first so that I could arrange the new office.

I was upset for several reasons: Still another restructuring of departments, my new area would be among strangers instead of friends, an upper floor panoramic view I had grown to love was being replaced by the view of a new futuristic monorail system on that side of the building. (This is not completely unusual because my actual former office area had a monorail system, but it was mostly used by tourists. And, I lived in a nearby complex where the monorail system was eye level in the distance from my balcony creating a Jetsons type ambiance.) But, the rail in this dream was extremely high speed, just a shiny blurr running at frequent intervals outside the window. Automatic doors opened for large groups of embarking and departing passengers within the view of my temporary desk.

In the interim, it was necessary to walk a long distance several times a day to communicate with my boss and take care of business. On one such time he handed me a crystal decanter with one of those gold tags on a chain identifying the contents. The engraving read, "Monatomic Gold".

Interesting Nora,

By no means experienced in dream interpretation but noting something from someone who has for many years, David Wilcock, he suggests that everybody in our dreams are actually aspects of ourselves (paraphrasing). After all the ruckus in the forum following his death threat I am loath to even bring up the name and that makes me sad.

Thanks for sharing your dream Cottage Rose

[Calz]

Still rockin' after all these years.

Wow ... just came across this one looking for something to listen to in the background while attending to my "duties" on the ranch thread. (btw thanks meeradas for the King's X )

Recorded in 2010. These guys have been going strong for over 40 years now.

I must confess I find that really shocking...I don't know what is worse, breeding dogs and cats to put them in soups or for their fur.
I see no end in sight for this type of cruelty. Legislation has to be one solution, then enforcement of the law...tough one....then education. Or education first....
The other extreme is of course the pet salon scene Astrid mentioned recently. Both extremes seem to be growing...
Asia isn't the only place where cruelty against animals exists...

Min Chi probably left because of Kimba's arrival, I reckon.
