A large spider, nearly as big as a tarantula. I thought, how could it be surviving the heat and the immersion?

Be careful

Yes, it is a good one.

Properly seen, it can also be a lesson.

Some Mythology on Grandmother Spider

In Greek Mythology, Arachne who is considered a spider goddess, is one who weaves and spins the threads of fate/destiny. In the ancient Teotihuacan culture, spiders are linked to the Great Goddess... In some Native American tribes, there is a Spider Goddess known as the Spider Grandmother who is considered the Creator as she weaves and spins the web of destiny for the people. Spider Woman, creator and weaver of life, is the great teacher, protector and Mother of all creation to many south-western Native American cultures. She manifests as a sacred guardian, overseeing the welfare of all those in need. The Maya Moon Goddess, Ix Chebel Yax is a spider moon goddess who brought the arts of the loom and spindle to the people. The sumerian spider Goddess, Uttu is a goddess of weaving and clothing.

According to mythology, Spider Woman spun two silver strands, one connecting east to west, the other north to south. This connected the four corners of the earth, with Spider Woman as the centre. (The strands created the Road of Life in the Hopi tradition, which has as its symbol the equal-armed cross).

In her aspect as Creator and Mother, Spider Woman affirms that women are essential and central to the life process. She reminds us that people of all races were created from the same source, with equal rights and responsibilities. She created her own children, twin daughters and twin sons, who brought forth the sun, moon and stars. She created all vegetation, birds, animals and red, black, yellow and white people.

Spider Woman is an important goddess among many southwestern Native American tribes. Though occasionally destructive, she is nearly alwys portrayed as beneficent. The Keresan Spider Woman created everything there is by thinking, dreaming, or naming; she thaugt the people how to plant seeds.

Cherokee Grandmother spider brought people the sun and fire. She taught them pottery, weaving, and how to make ceremonial blessings. She is called Grandmother Spider, Kanene Ski Amai Yehi. Spider Woman is responsible for bringing fire amoung the Pueblo, Tewa and Kiwa tribes. A spider woman called Biliku, found in the Indian subcontinent, also brought fire and light.

For the Hopi, Spider Woman is a creator who helped the people during their emergence, created the moon, has the power to give and take life, and is connected to hunting and agriculture. The plains tribes have a deity called Inktomi who is considered a Trickster, a shapeshifter who brought culture to their people. The Pueblo believe in Spider Woman ( called Kokyangwute, Tsisicinako, Sussistanako, Thought Woman or Thinking woman) who is considered the Creator of the Universe. The Kiowa Tribe believe in a Spider Grandmother who is a Goddess and heroine. Spider woman is also linked with dream catchers (the one who wove the sinew within, that catches the nightmares of a person)

In most Native American belief, the spider's web is believed to connect with the four elements. Although the spider is a small creature, it is cunning and intelligent. The spider power is female energy of the creative force of life.

The Hindus believe that the spider weaves life itself from it's own body but is also the creator of illusion or "maya". India and Odhinn's eight-armed deities may be associated with the spider.

The Japanese have 2 spider Goddesses: one is Spider Woman who can trap careless travelers and the Goblin Spider who can shapeshift to harm people. In Africa, there are tribes that believe there is a Great Spider which is revered as a God, and is considered a trickster to some tribes over there. The Jamaicans believe in a form fo Anansi, the Great Spider.

Checking in briefly in between breaks

Here is toms latest

Also Louis is not doing too well in the kennels
some thoughts his way would be very much appreciated
I'm doing what I can but this training I'm doing is 12
hour days so my power is not as strong as it normally
would be.

I'm having a very intense and positive time and it's only
the second day and first full day . I'm suspecting some
big transformative moments will be had by all.

Having some minor overwhelm moments which I will have
to monitor and pace myself ... To take breaks from the group
if I need to and not worry overly about others etc as I tend
to do . This is kind of a once in a life time opportunity so
I want to gain the most but at the same time i don't want to
have a melt down and then have to quit the course early

Anyways I must rest now before the afternoon session

Hugs to all
Astrid

Hello Astrid. Sending calm to Louis. Thank you for the Pele report. Mortal & immortal. Light & dark.

Synchronicity....

I ♥ spiders. They show up to teach of balance between the past and future, the physical and spiritual.
Yesterday, I walked away from the swirling vortex of the main stream interwebzzzzzzz, weaving another trap. The 16 ton block at the bottom of the ocean.
And so, I rented "Everything is illuminated". A constant flux of laughter, tears and deep reflection. I will be watching this gem again. And again. Tom mentions the Star of David. A prominent feature of the film.
Holes can be poked at the lack of immediacy or sense of purpose of the film. I care less. It was beautiful.


“I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out."

The sunflower scene met my expectations.
I am yellow..... illuminated. (a juvi enlightenment-er )




I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all "Yellow."

Since childhood, I've been afraid of spiders. This fear was passed down to me from my aunt. My daughter still tells stories of how she often rescued her mom from the beast. I have partly overcome that fear by talking to the odd spider I encounter in my home. I tell them that they scare me and that I'd rather not see them. They told me they don't necessarily like me either. When I find a big one, I put on my protective suit armed with a bucket. I manage to put it in the bucket and bring it to safety outside, unless its winter of course. I have a deep respect for them, but still don't like their crawly legs (they don't appreciate mine either).

On a another note, here's another view of the Garden. Spiders are welcomed there.

Hi everyone. It's one of those mornings when I feel like I love everybody, but none more than my buddies in the Here and Now thread.
Here is today's Nextworld TV video, and it is on Permaculture.

The thing about it, is that it is a paradox. The creation of and the existence of the 16 ton block and it being at the bottom of an ocean beneath that block, is an illusion.

Defeating the illusion is the trick, and that does not come easily. For the very aspect of interpretation and representation of reality as an information I/O system...that is the component of the self as a physical body, that creates that scenario.

Simple words to say, but the system that resists the self or intellectual aspects of the occupant of the body from accessing that area of avatar design, is as big as the desire to live.

But, actually no more (not bigger than) than the size and intensity of the desire to live, as the problem and solution is tied to that illusion, that mechanism's design.

Which is the exact why of 'stilling the inner voice' to put the body to sleep in it's entirety, and walk past the sleeping dragon of the body's life desire and autonomous functions, and open and use the doorway of the body's design, with it sublimated into a sleeping state that is no longer in control of reality's data flow.

Meditation is essential. You are not going to get there without it. Meditation that stills that inner voice, so that the mind can re-wire itself, over time, over months, over years. Like it does in everyone right now, but in a clear state. stilling the self is just the beginning of that journey.


The other time and place it can be found, is in the child like aspects of self, before the intellect arose. Thus, forms of psychological regression, and seeing the world as if a child.

The other door, is the one where the body finally dies and releases the desire to live, and in those few moments before actual physical death, the self can see the world as it really is.

thus the curse of cancer that is terminal, gives the gift of the true vision of life to those in the throes of cancer's final terminal days and weeks. the calm of the terminally dying, is the edge of that opening..but no time to explore it and become it, while living..

To be alive and do this, leaves but one doorway..which is the acts of mediation which stills the autonomous ego-body and it's voice and allows the living to see the doorway of existence as it really is and to take the time and have the time to re-wire the physical mind.

this can be done in a group, so that the rest of humanity does not interfere and strip the given being of their attempts, via reflection back at the one(s) working so hard to get there.

These are called Buddhist monasteries.

You might notice that these aspects of monks that function, with regard to the monks making it there, tend to combine some or all of the above, in the understanding people might have, people on the outside of these monastery scenarios.

But remember, your ego body will find every excuse under the sun to never go anywhere near the areas that I speak of.

recall it interprets all input and output of all data of reality for you, and it is based on preservation techniques and the systems of body preservation.

Emotions and body function.

When you finally remember what I have said, try to recall that the body and the ego made it so. It made you forget, it moved to distract you. It is designed to do that, to keep you safe, physically alive. Training wheels. (Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers!)

And that is the core of the problem itself.

The ego/body protects itself from all.

Even from you.

It may be difficult to get to the point that the body is stilled and at the re-wiring starting point...but that new position is based on the new life understanding and new life data and NEW REALITY that is multidimensional and psychic (most seriously so). Is that exactly what you want in this life? If so, then all other directions are not as direct. They are all distractive, and circuitous, the long way home, in the extreme, compared to this direction.

Where does that desire and pressure come from? One is deep inside the other. Go to the source of the itch that cannot be scratched. And find the blessed relief. The drive that keeps you locked out is the source of the itch that you cannot scratch. One and the same.

What price, freedom?

None at all, actually. It is merely a misguided presentation of costs, created by the ego/body.

Realizations that must be passed through to get there, giant steps of mental and physical change in the mind, thus the pain and the euphoria caused by the body's chemical response to the tear down and rebuild of the physical wiring. Laughing and crying Buddha. All those complex psychological states to pass through, all the visions and ideas that have been built up over the years, illusions that must pass.

Is that exactly what you want in this life? True freedom? Full and actual relief of all that ails? Is it? Or does the body, like in soviet Russia, does the body drive you? (the running internet yootoob video gag of Russian car accidents where: 'in soviet Russia, car drives you")

If so, then all other directions are not as direct. They are all distractive, and circuitous, the long way home, in the extreme, compared to this direction.

I love all my spiders, but husband hates them. I remind him that they eat mosquitos.
Your house reminds me so much of the farm where I grew up in Germany.
Weird.
Here is the front view to show the shape of the roof:

Sorry Ulli, it is not my house. It's the Centre where we created the Garden. My home is much smaller and so is my garden. Loved the pictures of the farm though.

P.S. I love you too.

Yes, I recognise the delusion, and have a loooong way to go before replacing the block with a "no thing".
And I do know of this thing called meditation. I make and take time for vigilance.
The first few years when I arrived in Germany, I attended a yearly silent retreat for 7 days. Those who know me found this notion of me not speaking for 7 days absurd.

In that space I was well able to dust the shelves. It was also easier to revisit that emptiness in the days/months following.
It has been too long....... (away from home)

What/who drives me? Enneagram social 8. Aquarian. Sun in Aquarius. Moon in Gemini. Scorpio ascendant.....





p.s. stop editing your posts, trying to catch up
p.p.s. could you perhaps pay my rent for a coupla months so I can walk into a forest? thank you please
p.p.p.s. deep gratitude (ego, body & soul) for your patience and service.
p.p.p.p.s Ulli, I love you too!

concerning my last post consider all of it, as a sum total.

And ..then..understand that the psychic sensitivity and the multidimensional access is in EVERYONE and they sense you, you sense them..and they hold this state and impress it upon you, and you impress it upon them.


And as you try and escape the matrix of that sum total making of existence..as created and 'being'... by all those life forces...the formation of reality in time, will work against you, or for you, depending on how you work at it, how you come at it, at the deepest levels. If you integrate with them, they will naturally impress themselves upon you, within you, the paths will intertwine.

Their mass is too big to change. (for an individual, an unrealized one)

You only have capacity to change the self, in the direct sense. Recall, the force is as big as your life force itself, it is that life force, and recall that it resists your touching of that which is inside of you. You can only calm your own savage beast, and then... work from there.

Thus to still the self, in isolation, first, for the self, to be free, once and for all. Fixing the world starts on the inside and with the self. Just like you always knew.

I was in Barbados when you first posted this tune...strong impact then and again, now. Trying to shrug it off even as I'm listening....
Feeling it's impact is contradicting to what I was just going to write to ViralSpiral about not needing any props to get to meditative states, since all props only are reminders of their own impermanence. Which in turn can cause the mind to continue in it's demands to be given more stuff to chew on.
Thus even when being inside the most glorious forest the mind might be wailing that 'soon soon all this will come to an end'...
which is another one of those mind lies.
Needy little fella, the mind...

As for pineal gland activation, I've mentioned using the atomidine, and of all the things I've tried over the years, this is the one thing I will never put back down. One of the number one things about the detoxified iodine aka atomidine is it fully supports glandular function, especially of the endocrine, or ductless glands, of which the pineal is one. The glands work in sequence together, and the energy that reaches the top starts at the bottom. A fully decalcified pineal will do no good if none of the other glands are also working properly.

I've also taken the fermented skate liver oil, that contains Dr. Peterson's activator x, or whatever they call it, so I can't say that's not a contributing factor, as well. I will say my stepfather was lined up to have hip replacement surgery, but in the last check up the docs decided his hip wasn't so bad after all, after he'd been taking the skate for about a month or so. The skate is best taken in combination to the high vitamin butter oil, from the same source, by all accounts.

I also have been spiking my bottled spring water with the celtic sea salt, and this also seems to be a significant factor, and it's delicious (thanks for the idea, zebra). The salt seems to be enhancing/balancing the conductivity of the body's energy system.

We've been phasing meat more and more out of our diet, which is good, I think. Last nights dreams ended with a short scene in a restaurant, and I chose a piece of fried chicken breast, and I was shocked when I was shown that this small chunk of fried meat was going to cost me twenty eight dollars and some change. I questioned the price and the black woman running the place assured me the price was correct, and then said mostly old people eat that stuff, as an aside. The message being the high cost of eating meat. It was the first meat we'd eaten in several days, last night, and it was indeed chicken.

If anybody has any good ideas on what to do with kelp powder, I'm all ears, as the higher ups have also insisted on that becoming part of our diet as well, so I have a few pounds coming. I've yet to research what to do with it, which I will also do.

For anti inflammatory properties, I must sing again the praises of alka thyme, from heritage. I seriously underplayed the severity of the burns I received last sunday, that were mostly healed within just a few hours, by using first the atomidine, then the alka thyme. The burns were easily third degree, as I was indicating by comparing them to the sparkler bomb incident.

I can see how a pristine, living water system, a natural clear stream or brook, could have remarkable healing properties. Makes perfect sense, to me.

From the material gleaned from Jay Weidner, and the Book of Aquarius, it seems the preferred method of distillation would be slow, involving very low heat, non conductive materials, and no electric elements, for the preserving of the life force that rises from the water. Dew collection would be quite preferrable to distilling municipal water sources, as well.

Funny, astrid actually made an appearance in my dream last night, a group of us were having a discussion in my mom's living room, and she was seated closest to me. I liken this to an energetic contact that was made a while back, that I would discuss perhaps through PM.

Since you are taking atomidine, your iodine needs will be met and this need is one of the primary reasons to use kelp. That said, kelp has many minerals/nutrients as most sea vegetable do. Another thing often missed is the fact that things like kelp are almost pure protein per weight. The small amount, per weight, we consume makes this fact somewhat ignorable in the bigger scheme. As for use, sprinkling on foods or in soups.stews is one way, but the inescapable 'taste of the sea' will be evident and not necessarily a gustatory plus. So, if you already have powder consider buying a package of empty capsules and filling them with the powder to ingest all the kelp you want without the unique flavor.

With your iodine intake your could skip the kelp, IMO. You will be able to source your other minerals and vitamins from a healthy diet rich in green leafies.

Thanks for this wealth of info on 3rd eye decalcificationing. I since have been utilizing Green Pasteurs Skatefish oil as recommended by some members here including Bill Ryan. I have come to understand in the past few months that Black Shilajit may possibly be considered in aiding to help open the 3rd eye as well. Has anyone on this topic ventured with this mineral. Im going to purchase soon. Keep me posted. Great Info on The Pineal Gland Here. Wanishi.
