Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ernie Nemeth]

Oops.

Meant to add that I feel I am on the other side of that wall, working on (overwhelming) emotional energy and I wish I was high!

Use the force Ernie ...

Very cool ... if I can find my way back to this side of the bridge after getting home ... me thinks there is a song in there somewhere ...

! Like that [pic] !

Reminds me walking thru densest fog at night, in a valley, with a headlight.
It was like moving inside an orb of around 5 meters diameter;
walking, the fog always stayed in the same range from my body.
Only thing visible from there was white light.
Until i ran into the cows...
sticking their heads [the only thing i could see] into my orb thru the fog.
[Instant satori!]
That was... unexpected. What a strange picture.

It grieves to learn that you are in psychic pain, and it further grieves me to hear that you wish to escape your inner work. Like cleaning a room, each moment that is put off only leads to a little more accretion of the problem. The wonderful tools of the plant world were never meant for regular usage, IMO. Alcohol is a plant tool as well. It is our native neurochemistry that is our karmic path. Only you know if you are using these helpers as tools or crutches. Needless to say, the ability to create abundance and other desirable effects in our life is hampered by regular use of these tools. One climbs a tower to see the road ahead, but the tower will not move you one inch along the road you need to travel. Such is the case with getting high. The need to do this is also a sign of not being comfortable with who you are. We are the chemicals in our bloodstream. Consciousness produces hormones, through the autonomic nervous system, translating this into our bodily experience of life. Drugs distort/enhance this somatic interfacing with the phenomenal world.

Your power is completely dependent on being who you are, natively. Drug usage is a form of schizophrenia, because you are the chemicals in your bloodstream and there is a variance between the natural and the induced. You are effectively different personages, each with a different view and desire of what reality should be, however slight or great those differences are. Two or more people cannot create a consistent reality. Herein is a great problem finding happiness because we keep on bumping into the creation of an 'other' in our lives. Our ego masks these differences in an attempt at seamlessness. Works on most people too.

If you want some form of consistency in your life, you must be consistent. Your native neurochemistry is your path to consistency.

I offer this in love. Ignoring it will not grieve me. I have done what my path requires of me. Only you know can know your path. One chemistry makes following it easier. Separate chemistries often see different paths. I hope these ideas were presented in a clear fashion.

It took me many years to come to these ideas. I have not always been drug and alcohol free. I could also word that as, I have not always been free. The view of a holding cell is different from the outside. It is the wounds we have personally overcome that we are best versed to address.

Lol.

I was looking for an appropriate cow image to match the story (as I am known to do every now and then in the here and now) when I found a photo that a co-worker has had on her office cubicle space for (at least) 5 years.

I have been looking all over for that photo and was never able to find it ... so here you go (nothing to do with meeradas story as intended but fun anyway). Too small to fully appreciate but you get the idea.

[astrid]

So its not just me then?

possible view from the end of the pier:

...just keep on walkin' hand in hand : )

Seeing all those bridge pictures reminds me of something I wrote a few days ago

"I like the bridge analogy you use, here is mine: the intellect stands at one side of the chasm (with you). You can just hear something on the other side, but you cannot make out what is said with any great clarity, but you have an idea that this is the best chance you have and thus your intellect is guided toward the goal of building a bridge. Each brick you lay, is matched by several on the other side. The work is done in faith that you are doing the right thing and one day the bridge will be built - and then the next challenge... crossing it and trusting your other-self did the job properly on their part "

I often feel I am crossing a bridge made of faith, testing each step; rather than taking a giant leap of it!




Here if you want the thread

Piers have been on my mind too, the past few days.

Dreams snippet ... I was falling down a deep deep well, and could see the full moon above me. I wasn't upset to be falling, I think it signifies the shadow work. The moon would be emotions. I was happy to get this little dream and remember it.

Another one a couple nights ago, of villagers. We were moving little basket-like things, and placing them into 'portals' in the side of the earth. No idea what was in the baskets, but something positive.

I'm off to work. It's a rainy, stormy day but I think there's a break right now.

Love to the village,
Marianne

Ulli is speechless. Modwiz, you outdid yourself there.

Yet I predict that Ernie will again wiggle out of this net of transformative w o r d s. He is the master wiggler.

One last comment. The Ernie who manifests his starvation periods has more of a purpose than I initially suspected.
So it's all good.
One man's lows are another man's highs....it's all related.
Thank you all, and thank you, Ernie.

I have to say writing it was like channeling. Also, the Village gives me the comfort to present something like this because, like poetry, it will at least be read and considered.

In other parts of the forum thoughts of pearls and oinking come to mind.

As you said, it's all good.

Here's an exercise i call "instant satori for travellers":

Whenever your travelling at higher speeds [without you being the 'captain'],
close your eyes and imagine totally [a firm 100%, until you are feeling it physically],
that your vehicle is going in the opposite direction, and hold this feeling until it's natural -
apart from nice side effects (vehicle slowing down = speeding up for you) whilst eyes closed,
it will bring you into the here and now vehemently, when you open your eyes again:

The sudden reversal of direction gives you a short but precious moment of Zero mind.

Works every time, is great, & fun.

I don't ever need another 'distraction', travelling.

Wash your spirit clean~
Give away the things you don't need
Let it all go and you'll soon see
And you'll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean
Go and pray upon a mountain
Go and pray beside the ocean
And you'll wash your spirit clean
Wash Your spirit clean
Be grateful for the struggle
Be thankful for the lessons
And you'll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean
Give away the things you don't need
Let it all go and you'll soon see
And you'll wash your spirit clean
Wash your spirit clean
