Here and Now...What's Happening?

[1inMany]

Mornin. Battling a headache already this morning. Shoulder and neck muscles are tight and knotted. Really enjoying the vids & music here in the Village, thank you's all around. Kids starting back to school soon. I hope that having them home is what is the cause of my not being able to become settled, that's the only way I can describe it.
Much Love

Good morning Starshine, the earth says helloooooooooo

Think sideways?



Wanted to thank you sincerely for pointing me to the Gurdjieff movie. I loved it, and will be watching it again at some point

I saved a these gems:

• What you call learning, if it means storing up experiences and beliefs, it will tie you like a chord and prevent you from knowing. Knowing happens directly. When not even a thought stands between you and the thing you know. When u see yourself as you are, not what you would like to be.
• You have worked and suffered all these years. But you never knew how to work. How to let the desire of your mind become the desire of your heart. Isn't your curiosity one of the chief reasons your life has come to nothing. It is so strong, even now, all you want is an explanation of who I am, and how I know you.
  
• You come like a lamb, but don't forget you have a wolf in you as well. Can you find the force to enable these two quite opposite lines to live together, in yourself? This will not happen by itself. It is not enough to just think about it, to dream, to wait. At any moment the wolf can devour the lamb and you must learn what it means to become responsible. This is an exact science
  
  
• i.r.o the dance meditation:
  What is the real meaning of these movements?
  They tell us of two qualities of energy. Moving without interruption through the body. As long as the dancer can keep in balance these two energies, he has a force that nothing else can give.

Athol Fugard (a well know South African playwright) plays the role of Prof Skridlov. It was delightful hearing the accent

Interesting links Nora, thanks. I first learned about the Huichol culture when I visited Zacatecas and Real de Catorce in San Luis Potosi. I was teaching English in Monterrey and on different weekends randomly visited both towns.

It is in Real de Catorce or thereabouts where Wirikuta, the deity that is peyote, is believed to abide. There is a mountain there where the Huichol make a pilgrimage by foot each year, for some many many miles, and perform the ritual of shooting Wirikuta, a deer, with an arrow and then ingesting the sacrifice. At least this was what I was told when I was there, and I'm not completely fluent in Spanish either. Suffice it to say that the unexpected visit left a lasting influence on me.

Real de Catorce was one of the most unbelievable places that I have ever been. Highly recommended. If you visit, take your wool, 'cause it's cold at night on top of that mountain!

If you look closely at the images on the links you gave, you can see the representation of Wirikuta, a deer, even on the clothes of the Huichol man.

Wow Playdo, just read up on some of the history of the place...amazing, thanks for bringing here and now : )

Hmmm Astrid...You're bringing me down memory lane...I was on the mid-northeast coast of Sicily for 2 weeks July/August 2009.
It was beautiful. Boated there from Malta and then back again until I left in late August
I did miles and miles on a ten speed on that coast of Sicily.

with a little bit of ease and little bit of calm
acceptance is the key to all we know
what about a stir of compassion and
lenience?
what about some understanding?
what about some sympathy?

1, wishing you peace. If you have lavender essential oil, rub a little on your fingers and then onto your temples, very soothing. Have you done a blessing on your new place? You can use a lit incense stick, just walk around to all the rooms with the intention that the smoke is clearing out old energy... be sure to get into the corners where energy tends to accumulate. Or use salt walter, sprinkle it lightly around.

Lisa, I KNEW someone else was connecting to that moon! It stopped me in my tracks when I first saw it!! Did you listen to Tom Lescher's astrology report? We are coming into Jupiter conjunct Dark Moon Lilith (beginning of Taurus) this weekend. When i heard that in Tom's report, I thought of the powerful orange moon I saw, and recognized it as the emerging feminine power, waiting to be balanced with the masculine, our coming out of polarity and into unity. Not even god/goddess but rather creator, source, energy... all one.

We have a 3 year period now to integrate these feminine/masculine energies... Lilith in Taurus this year, in Gemini next year, then Cancer late 2013 into 2014.

Here's the link to Astrid's post of Tom's report: https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post423938

Tom's mantra for the week:
As I open to the chaos of darkness within,
I invoke the mystery of life to begin.

Calz, sending you love.

I'm having a rough few days lately. The darkness calls me, and now I'm seeng why... my nature has been not to dive too deeply and now I'm getting it in spades, for which I'm so grateful, but it can be very hard at times. Astrid, you are an inspiration to me.

Love to all,
Marianne

[astrid]

Tom's reports just seem to get more and more powerful
I really feel the need to thank him personally for his
contributions to this Important time,
So I think it's about time i got him to do a reading for me.
When I chat to him I will tell him he is much loved in our village .

Into day 2 ... feeling a little weak. Woke up with great difficulty ... but I will persevere thanks, in part, to all the amazing villagers here and now.

regarding the thing about not putting out too much energy.

My family or mostly two of the kids..we tend to walk around with our cloak on, or defocussed. (not the word unfocussed as that denotes incapacity, this is active and purposely done) Ie, shut down. Blanked.

sometimes I flip that equation around an and walk around with a full flow. However, for this one, it only ends up being like....working out. (then I am tired) The more one works out, the more becomes available, energetically and strength wise (capacity to 'store' also increases). Besides the greater level of precision. ie, workouts and practice. However, it is a tough road and not everyone has high levels of energy available, regarding the given avatar's capacity to 'flow'. One must understand their limits. As my friend who used to run fitness clubs used to say...'you need to fuel the machine' - input is required for output. Thus a give and take of increasing the channel size, capacity, precision, and flow.

Well, got the first 24 hours of the water fast done. 48 more to go. Other than craving some flavor for an glossalgasm hunger is not a major issue here. (Glossal=tongue) The real stomach scraping actions have been light. I look forward to some real action, didn't do this to bore myself, LOL.

Body aches a bit from the detox, could use a massage but all the ones I know around here are not good. That is the sad state of my profession. Two I know who would be good are not available currently. It's a shame, it would make this process a lot less uncomfortable bodywise. I'll get into the jacuzzi later tonight. I have to do a massage at 7:30 PM my time.

I have been laying low just about everywhere. I have been feeling worn out and need a break. I am sure there are those who need a break from me too. LOL. That remark was not directed into the Village. I never feel that way from the Villagers. You know who you are.

There is great value in change of perspective. It allows for stereoscopic vision, and this leads to depth of thought. Depth of thought leads to it's own change, as an emergent road of process and result. Our failure is when we forget to get moving again. However, we all need to have rest periods. Thus the sense of forgiving the self so the guilt will not freeze one. Which is essentially/partially why I will not accept the anger/emotions of others. Their reflections tend to see this as ego, in this one, which can be difficult to explain to them.

[astrid]

You are doing great Calz first four days are uphill
after that it's much easier . Keep those fluids up
to flush out the nasties . We are all behind you,
when you look back after 2 weeks you will feel so
empowered. Stock up on some herbal teas they helped
me alot in the first week, it's harder in winter as your
body craves food to keep warm . So hot teas help
with that part plus wih the caffeine withdrawals as some
have small amounts, enough to smooth the bumps out .

Good morning Villagers. As I read all the different post I see such a wide variety of intelligent, well traveled, compassionate folks. I have never really traveled out of the US. I consider myself fairly intelligent, pale in comparison to some of the deep thinkers here. I keep wanting to come up with some profound statement that will set things right with this world. Alas I keep going back to the simple things which make my heart sing. I hope for everything around this village to be beautiful...
ps, I made my first sale in my click store yesterday, made me happy!!

I would love to get into the click store scene myself...can one unload one's old knick-knacks, garage sale style?
Old books? Old pictures? Is it better than E-Bay? Do you have a link?
I tried easy.com for my jewelry, but never sold a single item.

I was doing some " digging " earlier on this too much
energy / freaking others out issue and I came up
with a few clues . The message I got was "just be love"
and at first I didn't see how that related . But I think
what was going on with me was that I was very much
in a first and second chakra space, as I was dealing with a new
place, total strangers . Combined with feeling excited and
passionate about being there I was feeding intensity into
those lower frequencies . Which were blasting the room
Everyone but one had done their lower chakra healing
work and it just so happened that one person was the
trainer, and straight up he felt triggered .
So the "just be love" message was meaning for me to
move my energies up so at least I wasn't pushing
people's survival fight or flight buttons .
Like attracting like energies .
One of my current teachers works specifically with
developing and managing all the various energy
bodies and structures, so I will run my theory by
him . He was saying that the ADHD and aspergers
/ autism types have amazing perception and abilities
to work across dimensions but generally have issues with
management of energies and information .
He has so far been very interesting to work with and
has totally resonated with much that I have already
figured out . It's true that teachers appear when you
are ready to learn .
