Now the village has its own resident plumber
Welcome aboard 665!!!

Thank you Astrid, i have read a lot of your comments, its good to finally have the chance to participate in discussions, and hopefuly contribute something that is useful. (pardon my stinky english, its not my native tongue).

Hi there and welcome.
I see you are flying the Dutch flag.
I know that many people in Holland live below sea level
and so they had to become experts at keeping the sea water from causing drips.
So in a way the Dutch are plumbers on a large scale level. Or can you also unblock drains in our little Village?
I was curious and hope you don't mind me asking....who is the beast in your avatar
and what does the 665 (666-1?) stand for?

Yes i live below sea level like almost everybody, in this country of cheese, cows and other stereotypes of the dutch.
The name of the little dude who who plugged up the Levy (dijk we call them here) was supposedly Hansje Brinker.
I do not plug up leaky drains in real life, but i have some knowledge of it, i also fix cars and lay bricks and am a social worker.
The beast in the avatar is a standard hand avatar just as Avalon offers them and i picked this one.
The 665 stand for nothing else as being the neigbour of the beast who happens to be a plummer just for the hell of it ( no evil pun intended at all)Seemed like a funny name to me, at least creative IMO. Make of it as you will

Back again. Forgot I want to listen to Belles song for bed x

[Ernie Nemeth]

Belle:

Ernie, quick question. You had said you were an electrician. Are you self-medicating by using the herb? Using it to clear away the aches and pains and stress of the day? Perhaps a visit to an acupuncturist would help if that is so. The spiritual work may be a bit easier once the physical is taken care of.

I wish I could say you hit it on the head, but alas, no. I use it to escape a world I do not enjoy, and one I wish I did not have to live in. Except, that reason does not apply anymore, in truth. When I was the only one with eyes to see, I felt very alone and hopeless. It seemed I alone saw the inequities and insanity of this world. But that was thirty years ago. Obviously, that's not the case anymore. Smoking back then galvanised me, inspired me and elevated my mood. I find it only gets in my way these days and robs me of my vitality often times. And now I just go play video games in that state. BORING.
I think some sort of energy work would be quite beneficial, thanks for turning my thoughts inward.


Welcome 665! Never a dull moment, here and now in the village.

Picking up on eaglespirit's headline here
transform, transmute, transcend....

Transcendence without transformation only leads to psychological crashes...I'm sure we all can agree on that one.
But how can transformation be attained?
Fear does have as much of a role in this as hope for something better.
A combo method of those two has always worked for me while I was religious.
The old reward and punishment duality thingy...

Nowadays that I can access inspiration more easily all that is required is a quick step into a mental zero field...
like using the Ho'oponopono method.
Few techniques have worked for me like that one. I know quite a few here are also familiar with it, but a little reminder can't hurt.

Tears. I am cleansed. This is always the ending to these silly little tizzies of mine. The reunion with Source, in sincerity and humbleness. I'm sorry, Please Forgive me! Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. I love you, my God! And so it is.
Beautiful.

Thank you for sharing Belle. It was dizzying however I didn't want it to end so soon Wanted to see where the basin was going

From what I've seen, after some shifting, it seems to try to get back to where it was before the shifting started. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't, but usually ends up fairly close. Pretty cool, tho. And I don't drink alcohol or smoke the gange or any of that good stuff...


Welcome to the Village, 665.


Ernie, just trying to eliminate the obvious. I've known a lot of people in the construction business who don't realize that they are self-medicating when they drink or smoke on a daily basis to ease aches and pains.

Ho'oponopono is powerful and life-changing. So thankful it touched you.

The right message at the right time....just perfect, Ulli.


Lisab, for all the music I listened to today, 'Wash Your Spirit Clean' echoes in the background through all of it. So glad Rita Coolidge returned to her Cherokee roots and joined her sister and niece to form Walela...beautiful harmonies and so soothing. And so glad you enjoyed it.

Big storm rolling in tonight, up to a foot of snow on top of the 8" we have already. Pantry is stocked and wood piled high, bring it on!

Hi Villagers,
I just wanted to tell somebody about this thing that I did.
It was a self-sabotage, but as Gurdjieff taught, we sometimes need a shock to keep us awake.
Last year, I had a bunch of bad teeth pulled at long last (what a relief that was, once it was over) and got dentures, thanks to the kindness and compassion of a bunch of friends and neighbors who contributed to a $2,000 fund raiser for that purpose.
But about a week ago, I misplaced the things, and could not find them anywhere.
I take them out when I am not eating or out and about because they are uncomfortable.
And I tend to put them down on tabletops, or in a pocket, etc. to be put away in their container later.
When I finally realized they were missing the next day, I looked everywhere, even put my hands down in the trash can and indoor compost bucket and felt around in there, and I went outside to the big compost pile and squished my hands all around in there too, but didn't find them.
I looked under chairs, in the parking area and car, under the bed, in all my coat pockets, EVERYWHERE; still no dentures.
After a couple of days, I emailed a couple of psychic dowser friends to see if they could help me locate them long distance.
I was feeling so remorseful and guilty, because I had forgotten to be grateful, and had been focusing more on how uncomfortable they were.
At the same time, I figured I had done this to myself just because of that very ingratitude, but I was still really scared of never finding them.
And time was running out.
Finally, 2 days ago, I went for an acupuncture treatment, and told my therapist what had happened, which felt good, as she was very understanding.
I asked her to say a prayer for me. ( I was saying prayers non-stop!)
When I got home, it was starting to get dark, but I decided to take the compost bucket out and dump it as it was full.
In the twilight, I noticed something pink and shiny, and lo and behold! it was the upper plate!
I spent about 20 minutes in the dark, feeling around in the stinky mess of decomposing, slimy stuff, then went to get a flashlight and spent another 10 minutes or so searching, but no luck.
The next day, I went out and spent another 10 minutes or so feeling around, and found the lower plate at last.
Such a relief!
I must have been online and, absent minded, put them on a plate of uneaten food that was destined to go in the compost, and didn't have my glasses on, so I missed seeing them later when I dumped everything on the plate into the compost bucket.
I guess I must have needed a whole week in shock to wake up to how much I needed them and needed to be grateful for them, not to mention-- needed to be more in the Here and Now.

That night, though, I had dreams about helpless, squishy, gross snails and mollusks that had to be rescued and put back into their their shells, and I had to do it with my bare hands.
But I still felt like I had a new lease on life when I woke up, and still do...

Feeling very 'between' worlds also here and now this morn...like crossing a bridge that is disappearing behind me as I step by step to the other side

In the midst of the deepest moments of my recent melancholic episode, I almost clicked to post this:
