Here and Now...What's Happening?

However, there is a flip side to such views, a potential... that few like to speak of. That everything is unfolding as it should.... and all involved learn the lessons that they need to learn, at whatever level they may be at. That all who are in the dance, at any given level, even down into knowing levels of black ops and scientific insanities.... are getting what they need -to evolve.

The danger of such discussion, if true, can remove the polarization and drive within people that helps them push themselves through evolution, like a chick that has to fight it's way out of and past the shell and into a different world, one no longer filled with shadows and murmurings.

Ach! Oy!

It gets messy. In some ways, the sooner we give in and put the sword down, the sword of the body's reactions and projections, the sooner evolution reaches us.

I keep flipping about, trying different masks on, alternately taking things on and then giving them up, shifting realities and clothes, in attempts to see all the different angles, and even the giving up of all attempts and peering. Anything goes, including nothing.

In a overall brilliant post I have chosen these 'bites' to highlight. The Ach and Oy are important as well.
It is informative to ponder the legend of the temptations of Jesus by the Adversary/Tester. They would not have been legitimate temptations unless they were ideas for consideration within the mind of Jesus. Some of the masks he tried on in his thoughts.

I expanded it. Haw! Ok, I'm done now. I think. My problem is that I want to grab people and demand that they evolve, and in order to do that, I have to look insane to them. As often as possible,



but still give room for them to ponder points of reason. 'The Shock Doctrine' but applied by the humane, not the blinkered. Of course, which is more valuable? Which is more valid? Which is more real? Me doing it , or them? In the context of all... A toughie at best. Perhaps my job is to merely attend to my corner.



Sometimes those video games or what not are quite appealing....being an over-thinking Virgo can be a pain in the ass.

I've been sitting in front of people and cutting my guts out in front of them and pondering the visions and signs in the entrails..for as long as I can remember, and it gets tiring.

But... the system seems to necessarily be 'one serving per customer', so all you can do..is let the hungry see you eating... and then they might want to 'get them some'.

Life in general is 'messy'. Knowledge takes the potential fear of the unknown (considered a negative), organizes it, and gives an understanding (considered a positive) that can be used to see the overall view clearly...and become a case of "it is what it is; how can I use it to evolve"...taking a step away from duality.

I choose to evolve as 'universe' intends, with eyes wide open to the many potential pitfalls and ego-led temptations that may be placed in front of me along the way. If nothing else, it will be an interesting journey. Thank you for helping me along my way.

One of my favorite episodes.

This classic argument had me laughing at the one 'input'. the banned member's input. Yet..we still try. I found it while looking for a good shot of the cover of Joseph Chilton's great book.

http://forum.grasscity.com/spiritual...ousness-2.html

As per usual, the linear minded member is the remaining 'contestant' in that battle, that contest of egoic wills.

I stopped participating in such contests, years back. It looked like this,



but with a potential 50,000+ engineers eager to get on top of me, the only one on the bottom. With those who knew better, remaining silent.

We speak of the magic of fire and hot peppers, necessary and vital warmth, huddling by the stoves and frigid cold air pervading/shaping human activity,
of water locked in an enchanted and brutal frozen state, the kingdoms of nature, of healing and wellness,
of our individual and collective human experience in these dimensional sheaths on the crustal surface of the planet.
We speak of the changing times, the timelines and potential scenarios, the crumbling of a paradigm and
the birthing, the creation of something new.

As the winter winds howl and snow at long last falls at 3400' up in this mountainous cove, this watershed, I had a vision...
of a little icon for this thread of communal striving and sharing. A little burning flame that appeared when we 'logged on'
to join in and speak about what here and now is like for our family, our tribe(s), our species, for each other.
It sits off to the side flickering continuously, reminding us of the elemental, eternal fire within and amongst us here...and everywhere.

(Edit: perhaps this is not such a good idea upon reflection, as the flame can take on such a pejorative tone )

Witnessed a vortex of snow in a distant field, swirling impressively. Birds clustered around the house and on centenarian apple trees, feeding hungrily and happily
on black-oiled sunflower seed...a perfect aerial opportunity for a red-tail hawk to masterfully, powerfully catch a black-capped
chickadee in mid-flight...cattle are sheltering and well fed. Feline at my feet asleep (for the moment). The rhythm beats,
the heart of the Earth is active, calling to us.

Here and now...what do we hear when we listen to the 'sounds' and rumblings of a planet ascending and evolving, a sphere under a methodical
and assiduously planned assault by a minority of it's inhabitants and their overlords?
(it's surface dwellers in a state of perpetual warfare/scarcity and subterranean dwellers/forces/alphabet agencies doing who knows what,
not to mention the enormous activity from...the skies, our star system)
'Unusual sounds' were reported just south of where I live yesterday. Un/usual.

Here and now, it is quiet and warm, am blanketed by a strange and growing
faith in us, in our struggling species. I send into the village a balanced and sincere warmth,
with gratitude and respect for your journeys and service to each other. You treat each other well.
(So good to see. And feel.) As sovereign beings do.

The evolution of fire. Hot peppers and black turtle beans on a tortilla.
Thankfulness...a field of energy.
Peace to all

Thanks Mod, I love that kinda stuff.



And..Larry Niven's Ringworld. A world with the surface area.. of 3.7 million earths.
Snip...

When you look at this, remember, to visit someone....it is not maybe 1000km, or even lets say, like flying to the other side of the planet. No..... 2 million km wide. (the wall is 1600km high) The feeling of insignificance and total connection..would be complete. Who says that science fiction has no soul? It would be burned into your existence, right from birth. In this 'shopped' image, imagine that when it finally takes shape out of the atmospheric clouding and cover, and comes up into definition due to it's curvature...we are talking about that point on the lowest horizon, being some good 2-2.5 million km's away. (!)

If one where to go the distance of 1/3rd of the way to the moon, straight up from the surface....and look down the rotational axis..it might look something like this:



Remember, that is 100,000km up from the surface. not feet, or meters...but 100k km.

In the book, there is an earth a 'replication' that was set up. Here it is, to scale.

I love this kind of stuff, too.
Was fascinated reading somewhere (can't remember where) about a guy on a planet which had two suns.
Had me thinking about the four times of day, when both suns would be below the horizon, when both would be above, then only one, then the other.
Made me realize that our concept of duality might well be linked to the fact that we only have one sun.
It is also "burned into our existance, right from birth".
Well said.

SERPO or UMMO...

And so it is, while I am here on the Cape when the time allows for that 'attending' that I am personally drawn to. As I have shared here before this place was very special to the Native Americans...it was a bountiful spiritual provider of nourishment/nurturing/connection surrounded by ocean and sky. I was drawn to Woods Hole today to look around and connect. Found a small book in the library that tells of old configurations and markings around the area left by the Indians...some of them only visible at low tide now. There is an old waterside park in the center of town that still has the small boulders intact that the Indians placed there to mark the equinoxes and solstices. It was an overcast snowy/rainy day but I had a glowing light with me while placing offerings and thanks at each stone...this always sends chills of gratefullness thru me.
All of You are doing these things in your own ways...and in doing so I feel we naturally expand that energy that will touch those around us and they just 'may want to get them some' by simply seeing and feeling what we do, directly, indirectly, how-ever!

That was also a FURRY Jesus. (other photo) Steven Boyett would be all upset, maybe.

Cartman gets Aspergers. I love it.

@Giovanni. This is a stream of consciousness thread. If you come here everyday, catching up makes sense, otherwise jump in and join the hologram, adding your pieces to it.

Beautiful morning on the mountain, watched the sunrise. A mist came in from the North and then rain clouds.

hey benevolentcrow tried to find something vintage in hearts....couldn't find anything.

Nothing works without love. I love you guys.

They say all paths lead to the same place ...

Perhaps that is true ...

... but they sure look different along the way.

I can tell it's Saturday night at the Village. Everyone is being exceedingly jolly,
and I won't even ask for a minute of silence in memory of Whitney Houston.
Although I wonder how many parties she ruined with her untimely death.
Thing is, if it weren't for her then Rihanna would probably not even exist...
and Rihanna put Barbados on the map more than Sir Gary Sobers (cricketer) ever did.
Every shop I'm going to enter will be playing Whitney's songs for the next month at least...
which should pose a welcome break from Rihanna, but, quite frankly, I don't know which is worse.
Time for earplugs.

This little boy might have also seen that image of sweet Jesus that Modwiz' eye spied....

[Carmody]

I..I can't say it. I.. just can't. It's simply not polite.

If my post was offensive I will take it right off and replace it with something more p c...
I meant to ask you- why did you put up that picture of Dave Edmunds? He had a recording studio in South Wales, where I used to go and hang out.
Seems like another lifetime now. The year was 1974....it was called Rockpile.
Lisa knows him, too I think....
