A little something from Ryan Bliss, who's work I gladly paid for, by subscribing to his site early on: Digital Blasphemy.



A little something for Astrid, who is in winter:

except that where I come from, the snow is usually at good 3 to 4 feet deeper (1.5M) And cold. So cold.

The other night I had an opportune encounter and night out at the (only) neighborhood restaurant/late night lounge and supplier of tasty adult beverages. A terrific place really, with all the great food, libations, cops and college kids. The owner is an old neighbor and good friend from childhood, and we caught up. Very interesting night. So it happened to have a strange mix of people willing to talk intriguingly about current world affairs, three or four out of a table of eighteen. More people engaged as the night went on, some old friends, some new, they came and went. It was a great and subtle affirmation to speak of subjects, spiritual and exopolitical, relevant to my here and now with people whom years previously I could not have had such conversations. I know that I couldn't, because I have made attempts, the random discordian bomb of information in a conversation, and what not, that never took seed, nor interest. But now its on the table. I really think that not only do people have more access to more information, but that some people are acquiring pertinent information, and not just the bollocks. Catching the fnords, so to say. Towards the end of that night, there were many participating folks in an interesting conversation. And that's a new dynamic I see occurring in my here and now with greater frequency.

thanks for that. I guess it is happening. I've seen evidence of it too.

I can raise the most bizarre seeming subjects, just about anywhere, these days..and people listen. They interact. 4-5 years ago, I was even sworn at, the odd time.

something I just posted in a thread, called: Tell us all what you believe.

The core of the avatar's design, is that it must break before it can change, Dennis. The combination of fears, nightmare, solution, action and dream.

Oddly, the moment that the psyche/ego of humankind (individual and group) feels it has a hope, it hesitates, waits, backslides...and is, in that moment.... doomed to wait again.

Hope is necessary, but it is also borne (connectivity-but not solely) out of the body's desires and fears. Think of it more as a point of contemplation, this 'hope' thing. A thing that creates thought.... helps rumination, contemplation - 'be'.

As long as a body shapes the origins of thought, then hope as a failure -- is key to success.

It is but a moment of realization, but the origins of all fears/desires in the human system need be addressed, in order to get to that moment that makes it finally work. Where love and compassion are finally given their due, and integrate with the human body in an intensity that out weighs the other two. (fear/desire). when that happens, the view,and thus the input and output data system shift to this more correct orientation, of Love and Compassion.

Therefore, absolute, complete, total failure, with no way out, must be on your mind and in it... before the problems can be overcome.

Are any of you there yet?

Why? and what if it never happens?

I loved Dennis' imagery....

I do suspect we are being observed by extraterrestrials - we are too dynamic, wild, and crazy to ignore. We are probably a favorite zoo critter to some extraterrestrial species.

Ulli, your pics and property are GORGEOUS!! One day.......

Before I had my appendix finally removed in 1994 I used to have regular painful attacks which remained undiagnosed, and which went away after two or three days. My doctor husband later explained that I was a rare case of someone who had had chronic appendicitis.
It used to come on maybe twice a year and had me wimpering in agony. I never had a fever during these attacks or it would have been easier to figure it was acute appendicitis. It was a miracle that I survived at all.

During one of these attacks around 1980 I couldn't stand the pain any longer and left the bed, crawling on all fours to my bookshelf. It was in the middle of the night. I wanted to find one of my home treatment books, and was too weak to stand up and look for it among all my books. Suddenly a bible fell to the floor and landed in front of me, page opening.
And immediately my eyes zoomed in on this quote: "have you not eyes to see and ears to hear?" I had known that quote but never in it's deepest sense.
At that instant everything changed. I became aware of the noise of a bus outside, I became aware of the books, the walls, the carpet; all we're glowing with a soft light in an opaque way.
And a voice said in my head "you are already dead", in the context of my earlier thoughts before which were "I'm dying, I'm dying".
From the moment that I had become aware of the bus noise outside I also noticed I was totally free of pain. Cured.
All this within a minute of leaving my bed.
So I after that experience I intensified my search. I had already been guided to study astrology, but this was early days, and I didn't have a clue how to connect the dots yet between all the different metaphysical studies.
Although I had clearly seen in 1977 during my first awakening that everything was connected and which was the experience which changed my life...from materialistic atheist to believer in God and determined seeker.

But the thing you describe there, Carmody, that edge, I had to revisit many times, and still I suffer spiritual amnesia. I have no water signs in my chart, only earth, (sun, moon, Jupiter and Saturn) fire, (Venus, Pluto AC and MC) and air (Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Neptune) and even the house positions of my planets are zero water, but mostly earth, with Saturn in house 2 (Taurus), the sun, Jupiter mercury and Mars in house 6 (Virgo), and the moon in house 10 (Capricorn).

All this means I'm so down to earth, literally, that if it hadn't been for the help from outside offworld forces, ie angelic, ET, or maybe call it the Grace of God, I would never have done it on my own.
Even when it stares me in the face I often ignore it, to this day. With a "so what!" attitude.
Unless I'm totally on my last legs, health wise...then another miracle comes along and then for a short while at least I feel genuine gratitude.
One thing I dislike about living on that edge between worlds or dimensions is that I can not even enjoy any of the status symbols of the 3 D world, the way I did when I was younger.
But I do enjoy change. Unless I'm on a roll with something, when change is an unwanted interruption.
So the hardest part of life is simply being me. Learning to manage interruptions.

I have been sleeping a lot since the weekend, can't seem to get to the end of my tiredness. Odly enough, I go into deep sleep even in the afternoon when it's sunny outside and sleep for hours. No need for a rain fall. I'm not worried about it, I just follow the movement. I've been dreaming a lot. Went to a fair again, a place I often go to in my dreams. Everything is white in that space and there are many people around, a lot of booths with different things on display. I met Eckart Tolle and we had a nice conversation. I just don't remember what he told me. Maybe we met in silence.

Hi guys, have been missing everybody. Went to see Men In Black 3, a rare occurrence for the four of us, Hubby, M, Em, and me It was awesome, I really loved it Griffin (character from another world/dimension) was the most unforgettable for me - I really "get" him! What a wonderful light being is he. Premise for the movie is parallel universes/time travel/existence of other dimensions. After the movie, M was talking about how that (events of the movie) could really happen considering parallel universes, etc. LOVE it!! The movie brought really awesome conversation for the family on topics that used to be taboo...and that's incredibly good considering that my girls will be in the thick of all kinds of changes in the near future!

Stayed in the old house for the first time since moving. That helped me to identify a couple of things. First, this manufactured home, as they are called, is not sitting on the ground as is our brick home. It is set on pier and beam, and truly I have no idea how that works (nor do I care to) except to say that while I am in this house, my feet never touch the ground. HUGE issue. Secondly, as beautiful as this acreage is, it is too massive (apparently) for me to feel an intimate connection to my surroundings. That house has a definite perimeter, a yard, a flowerbed in the front...lots of intimate spaces I used to create intimacy and healing...putting my hands in the dirt has always been good therapy. It's just plain dangerous out here, snakes & spiders that are poisonous, fire ants that leave blister-like sores, and these terrible prickly things in the grass...heaven forbid one of us go outside barefooted, because we have to spend 5 minutes with the tweezers pulling out all the splintery pokey sticker things...Whereas at the other house, I ran around without shoes constantly...when I wasn't in the grass there was at least sidewalk. (Mind you, I did always watch for fire ants, but they only got me a time or two...)

Hmm. I have no idea what the future holds. I have no idea what to be focusing on. I know I want to attract positives...but visualizing them is a bit tricky when I don't know what they look like yet, lol...

Much Love,

[ulli]

Much Love,

For now try to focus on being here and now. When looking for the balance point we sometimes go too far the other way, where not only does everything feel alien to us, it also provides no immediate comfort zone, the way pure balance does.
But like you said, going back to the old place helped you identify your relationship to the new place.
Possible future?
Another house move? Why not?

I often think that unless I move to a hospice I still have more house moves ahead of me.
Creating a new home is a lot more challenging and satisfying than say writing, drawing, or making jewelry.
And it is always followed by a period of increased hospitality which makes me feel good
because that's the only time I feel I'm really doing something for others.

The core of the avatar's design, is that it must break before it can change

Why? and what if it never happens?

The more full of life and stubborn one is, in order to get their way, within their desires, their hopes, to allay their fears..... the more the universe and our given selves, will reflect that back at us.

That's one of the components that the buddhists don't like to tell you. Not because the analysis and reality is incorrect, but that is an understanding that the individual must come to themselves, otherwise the trickster of the hindbrain/autonomous/avatar will slip by that and work to be sure it stays in charge.

This is a consensus reality, and thus there must be some form of autonomous reality formation that keeps the system stable and alive, until the given individual awakens and is born at the next level, on the inside... and takes those duality training wheels off. By becoming a singularity of a being and individual. Physical birth is only one layer.


Another angle of looking at it is:

What we call a human being that is an 'adult', in this world, is actually a juvenile. Most seriously so.

Most humans (over 99%) go to their graves ---as a juvenile. Most seriously so.

Yes, I understand that. Why is it so?

How about a 'now' type living example?

I just explained it (one way of many) in the post you quoted.

The avataristic-duality autonomous world of Fnords.
