I love these images. You know what I love about this one? I know that many would see her falling apart, and I see her as falling together- the pieces are moving into place, not out of them. She is making her Self whole. I also love playing shizen sho, so I love the tile faces.

Yes! But with that much galliano in us, just not intelligibly or without occasional drooling.

You say drooling like it's a bad thing.

well, there's drooling and then there's slobbering and upchucking, followed by repugnant acts of primal disgustingness. Fine points of distinction: I can tolerate the former, the latter, not so much. I had an ex that impressed me no end with his insistence, in his hideously drunken state, that my wardrobe was a urinal.

I can't for the life of me think why he's an ex...

Mad Hatter shouts the bar a round of 'nangs' with DMT chasers...

When starting from any point there are an infinite number of possible directions to take (think spherical) so for those speaking ascension can you explain to me how you figure out which way is up...

Inner compass eh... so which magnet is that pointing at...?

For those who like punching energy at the virus - 'a ducks quack does not echo' - try that frequency it sends them nuts.(no reflection no triangulation)

For those needing a pointless contemplative adventure I've got a box full of bent spoons in the boot of the 'Bitsaremissing' out in the carpark, mind the improbability drive doesn't bite you on the arse tho...

Ahh yes the light, the light, only required by those who have never learned to see in the dark...

or one seeks to return to the place where all possibilities exist but none are chosen so all Art is possible but none is actually ever created.

Bingo!! Been there done that, boring as bat **** (no offence meant to bats) now what???

A post to kick-off my avatar image change....

I believe Bill Ryan posted an image of and discussed this phenomenon at some point.

I experienced this personally, while camping at near sunset in an 'altered state', had not heard of this at that time, was quite enriched by the experience.

I think I have images of my own 'spectre' in my slides somewhere yet to be digitized from a camping trip in Co. in the vacinity of Mt Evans west of Denver.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brocken_spectre

A Brocken spectre (German Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow, mountain spectre or glockenspectre is the apparently enormous and magnified shadow of an observer, cast upon the upper surfaces of clouds opposite the sun. The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside or cloud bank, or even from an aeroplane, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken, a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name. The Brocken spectre was observed and described by Johann Silberschlag in 1780, and has since been recorded often in literature about the region. However it can be seen in any mountain region.

Occurrence

The "spectre" appears when the sun shines from behind the observer, who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist or fog. The light projects their shadow forward through the mist, often in an odd triangular shape due to perspective. The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges his shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds, or when there are no reference points at all by which to judge its size. The shadow also falls on water droplets of varying distances from the eye, confusing depth perception. The ghost can appear to move (sometimes quite suddenly) because of the movement of the cloud layer and variations in density within the cloud.

The head of the figure is often surrounded by the glowing halo-like rings of a glory, rings of coloured light that appear directly opposite the sun when sunlight is reflected by a cloud of uniformly-sized water droplets. The effect is caused by the diffraction of visible light.

(later edit - found Bill's related content I remembered, in his The Cry of Gaia thread)

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post246764

I used to climb a lot of mountains, but this time I took the mountain railway to the summit. I’d been cooped up for weeks, and I expanded my awareness in gratitude and appreciation at the marvelous natural environment of rocks, trees and alpine meadows which we were passing through on the train. I am a mountain man to my roots, and I deeply love this kind of terrain.

Near the summit, the mist swirled around me as I climbed the rocks to the very top. And suddenly, feeling connected with Gaia, I had a wild thought. I said to myself, as if in prayer: “Gaia, if you can hear me, show me a Brocken Specter.”

Now, a Brocken Specter is a spectacular natural phenomenon which requires a precisely coordinated combination of sun, clouds, atmospherics and moisture. It consists of a huge shadow of oneself projected on the clouds below, surrounded by a rainbow halo. They’re very rare: in all my time in the mountains, years and countless expeditions all over the world, I have seen only a handful of Brocken Specters.

And suddenly, within maybe a minute and a half, one suddenly appeared. There it was. I spent half an hour filming it, in various stages of awe and disbelief. I was staggered. As in the movie Avatar, I found myself thinking: “Eywa has heard me.”

It's not just misogyny that is embedded; it's sexism, the shade and spectre of racial superiority and conflict; it's ageist, arrogance, ignorance traded and polished as the norm, as they way things are, as 'you're just being too sensitive' or 'can't you take a joke'. It's the platform from which everything that individuals claim to abhor- the war, the greed, the destruction, the contempt for things weaker or smaller or more fragile, just to name a few- springs, and yet its' the thing that most recoil from facing honestly.

The sui generis, heartspeech and energy create an automatic immunity to being fed on, because the feeders can't stand the signal. Which means that those who react badly to such kinds of sui generis interactions are giving away what energy is behind their intention and purpose.

So much to choose from in that last missive from Songs, but those were the bits that leaped out at me the most.
The urge to disengage from the matrix/virus is there in all of us, but like flies in honey, we become so weakened eventually it may appear the only way back to Source is recycling via death of the body, unless we learn how to detoxify and heal, how to build the kind of community that nurtures us instead of exploiting us.
Though death still comes to us all, that is a different kind of death than just succumbing, and we can plant seeds for a better next journey or incarnation in the process.

There is so much that needs to be redone in our world, from the ground up, we feel pushed and pulled in a thousand different directions, so just staying centered can be the greatest challenge of all.
In my life, I have dipped into various groups, organizations and communities all over the U.S. which are working toward some small part of the overall re-do, and taken from each some treasure to build on and share, though there was never any one such group which offered everything that I needed.
So life became a sort of nomadic journey, migrating from place to place to find those little treasures, to share what I could, then on to the next...
Because the possibilities of finding others on the same wavelength is so difficult, I've become a recluse now for the most part, taking refuge largely in my connection with Nature, animals and art, with very few real connections with others.
Now what I come up against most is ageism and classism and the unnamed ism that discriminates against the disabled, which I think goes much deeper, as in the case of the instinctive behavior of the pack to kill the member which could slow the pack down and endanger the survival of all.
But I think that reclusivness must be somewhat inherent in my nature in any case, given that even when in my 20s, my ideal imaginary lifestyle was like that of the ancient Taoist hermits.
[/IMG]
http://www.personal.psu.edu/faculty/...ics/Ch4/16.jpg

I had a taste of that when I lived at the Zen Center in the mountains of Virginia when I was in my 20s, and it was like being reborn and living once again in that precious childlike state.
To be able to experience that as an adult, with the understanding of an adult!
I would have given anything to remain there and go further into that realm of wonder, but the community fell apart, as they so often do, and so I was thrust back into 'civilization' and barely survived the culture shock.

But there were other things I needed to experience and learn, it seems.
Later, my imaginary ideal became to live in a matriarchal culture, ala those described by Marija Gimbutus in her books such as The Civilization of the Goddess, where everyone's basic needs were met, there were no wars, and cooperation rather than competition was the foundation of all interactions.
I visited some lesbian communities that were working towards those ideals, and though I found their dedication admirable, I am not a lesbian, and so could never fit in.
Most other intentional communities I found to be too structured and patriarchal.

It seems we must return to something more along those matriarchal lines (just to be clear, matriarchal cultures I am referring to were not dominated by women--there was gender equality).
Though it seems it will be done with technology this time, and possibly in partnership with other extraterrestrial civilizations who have learned how to cooperate and will perhaps show us how it's done.

The other relationships I am reaching out for now is via Contact with ET/EDs, and I was very much heartened by the success of my first attempt this March, when I went out under the stars with a friend and after several hours of telepathic requests for a "sign", was witness to three flashes of a beautiful, celestial light just overhead, in a similar sequence to the flashes I had been emitting with my flashlight.
I SOOOO want to experience more of that!!
I've given up on finding a community that I would fit into, but my ideal vacation now would be to go to James Gilliland's ECETI Ranch, have some major Contact experiences and take a class from their master of bi-location...
Or go to Maui for a retreat with Nassim Haramein and deprogram old ideas about how the Universe works.

And I appreciate very much this window to other souls who I can at least to some degree understand, appreciate and enjoy, and who may have some inkling as to where I am coming from, and appreciate and enjoy me as well.
So... Cheers! to Songs and pub patrons.

It goes something like this: when we are newly incarnated, the communication and connection comes from the heart signal and chakra. It's really pure and the controllers can't feed from that pure signal- it is inherently sui generis in embryo form, the way that children relate to one another when they are really small. It's the thing that both attracts and repels adults, that openness and heart chakra based connecting with the world, and it is this that the virus seeks to stamp out first for one very simple reason:

the virus cannot feed on pure heart chakra based sui generis embedded signal.

Catalyzing post... thank you. I have a few thoughts.

I am personally striving for this that you expressed above and I know that it can only happen if I follow my own internal navigation system that I access within my heart. This I was born with but there has been so much conditioning to let go of...I continue to be a 'work in progress'. I respect the bodywork you are doing and thank you for the detail in describing your process. I love to hear about these things. Periodically I attend retreats where we do this type of work, feeling deeply within the body, looking for blockages and held emotion and go through a process of releasing it. It is rewarding though I have often been surprised at how many layers there can be.

To describe the process I experience, maybe as more of an exercise for me in communication , we open the root chakra - visualizing and feeling - grounding into the Earth. We then open the crown chakra and feel golden Light pouring in to then move through, and fill the body. We look internally for any visual or sensation of blockage and feel into the emotion that is there, looking to the child and the experience(s) that put it there. It is about validation of the feeling and releasing it by whatever creative means we come up with within ourSelves. It is deep stuff. With my experiences, the feeling of this is what is important. It is easy to come up with logical reasons as to what it is about but perhaps it will not release until we actually go in and feel it as the child - no logic involved. Anyway, I can be very simplistic in my use of words and this is not a complete description but I wanted to acknowledge that I personally see the importance of this type of work. I know there are different approaches and this has been one that I have worked with and continue to work with.

I have been musing over something lately which is... participating the little that I have in this forum (and others here and there) has made more clear the reading of energy signatures and the associated motives. I know the ridiculousness of judging anyone, including myself, and I try not to because I perceive that we all pretty much do the best we can given our experiences and belief structure. Judgment is different than calling something out that we perceive happening. I see the value in that and really, if we are open to and desirous of growing we shouldn't be threatened by that.

What I perceive isn't necessarily what another might see however .

In the Nuclear Evolution process I referred to before, one of the described phenomena that takes place in a group practicing Creative Conflict is when someone enters the group at a level of high energy, at which point they can either take the group to a higher level and there may be a reordering of the group, with the possibility that one or more may be energetically sent on an outward trajectory.
When there is a consensual reality that is challenged by a newcomer, the catalyst may change the consensus, but only if the group is ready to take the next step up.
If the group is strong enough, someone coming in at a lower frequency will either be compelled to dance with the energies of the group in order to bring their own frequency up to the group's level, or else be expelled out again.
It is similar to the way that particles of energy behave, and that's why Dr. Hills called it Nuclear Evolution.

Within the group's consensual reality, there is really no "right" or "wrong", there is only the level of understanding at which they can agree.
It can also happen that the group will fall apart which cannot raise its frequency to the level of the innovative new member.
And so sometimes it feels like this:

It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) by Bob Dylan

Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child’s balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying

Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool’s gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words, proves to warn
That he not busy being born is busy dying

Temptation’s page flies out the door
You follow, find yourself at war
Watch waterfalls of pity roar
You feel to moan but unlike before
You discover that you’d just be one more
Person crying

So don’t fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It’s alright, Ma, I’m only sighing

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don’t hate nothing at all
Except hatred

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark
Make everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark
It’s easy to see without looking too far
That not much is really sacred

While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have to stand naked

An’ though the rules of the road have been lodged
It’s only people’s games that you got to dodge
And it’s alright, Ma, I can make it

Advertising signs they con
You into thinking you’re the one
That can do what’s never been done
That can win what’s never been won
Meantime life outside goes on
All around you

You lose yourself, you reappear
You suddenly find you got nothing to fear
Alone you stand with nobody near
When a trembling distant voice, unclear
Startles your sleeping ears to hear
That somebody thinks they really found you

A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit
To satisfy, insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to

Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
I got nothing, Ma, to live up to

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something they invest in

While some on principles baptized
To strict party platform ties
Social clubs in drag disguise
Outsiders they can freely criticize
Tell nothing except who to idolize
And then say God bless him

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society’s pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he’s in

But I mean no harm nor put fault
On anyone that lives in a vault
But it’s alright, Ma, if I can’t please him

Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn’t talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony

While them that defend what they cannot see
With a killer’s pride, security
It blows the minds most bitterly
For them that think death’s honesty
Won’t fall upon them naturally
Life sometimes must get lonely

My eyes collide head-on with stuffed
Graveyards, false gods, I scuff
At pettiness which plays so rough
Walk upside-down inside handcuffs
Kick my legs to crash it off
Say okay, I have had enough, what else can you show me?

And if my thought-dreams could be seen
They’d probably put my head in a guillotine
But it’s alright, Ma, it’s life, and life only

In the Nuclear Evolution process I referred to before

This jogged my memory. I read these works from Christopher Hills in college, still have them in my library, the dowsing physics and frequency explanations were unlike any other content in the 'new age' bookstores I was finding at that time.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hills

Nuclear Evolution

This is a large ,sprawling effort to explain the wholistic basis of the universe. There is no doubt that Hills is a first class scholar: the books spans such diverse topics as kundalini[from the Sanskrit "kunda"= to burn], the electromagnetic spectrum, bioluminescence, holography, the theory of color vision, group consciousness,the dimensions of space,the nature of time,cell biology and photosynthesis, the physics and metaphysics of consciousness, resonance and quantum theory,the structure of the self, the periodic table of elements, personality theory,sociobiology, micro- and macro-evolution,supersensonics, the power of creative imagination,drive theory, bioenergetic transformations, cosmic man and nuclear evolution. The editors have also added sections/appendices on Shakespearean types, experitypics,the I Ching and orgone energy type devices. There are hundreds of excellent and fascinatingly unique illustrations, diagrams and photos.This is a pioneering, brilliant exposition, but requires considerable patience and experience to appreciate.

SuperSensonics (This was like a lab manual workbook for learning dowsing.)

In 1975 Hills wrote the book Supersensonics — the Science of Radiational Paraphysics, widely considered "The Bible of dowsing"[43] The book sheds new light on divining, telepathy, The I Ching, Egypt's Pyramids, Biblical miracles and discusses the value of low level extrasensory phenomena vs higher levels of insight, wisdom and consciousness. New Age Journal magazine called Supersensonics "A short course in miracles for scientist and seeker alike"."[44]

Very technical explanation of what dowsing is and how to use it to discover the invisable fields of radiation that exist all around us and what they represent. He spends a consideral amount of space backing up what he says with science. This is the source of all his other books about the nature of conciousness. This and "Nuclear Evolution" are great conceptual frameworks for understanding the deeper living universe.

You finally stumped me this time Z.

Try as I might I could not figure out a way to work in "fin" with a zebra image ... so I had to improvise ...

Thanks Mountain Jim.
Dr. Hills wrote a whole lot of brilliant books, but that was just a fraction of what he packed into one lifetime.
People who knew him did not doubt for a moment that he was Leonardo DaVinci in a past life.
It was wonderful to have him as a friend.
I didn't live at his community, but I visited, took a class there, went for meditations, and was a friend of the family.
You don't get to meet people like that every day...
This is a photo of his guru in India, whose face I always thought looks like God would look like if he was in a human body.
[IMG][/IMG]

His name was Shantiananda, and his ashram was in the midst of the worst slums of Calcutta. He said that was the best kind of place for his students to really learn.
When I think of that, I always think of this song

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=qAIIqCfoq10

His son was a "mast", a God infatuated soul. He lived in a constant state of bliss, but he was a kind of idiot in Western terms and was unable or unwilling to interact with anyone in a normal way.
Though Shantiananda said his son was his greatest teacher, and Christopher said that if you looked into his eyes, you would see such wisdom, you would never be the same again.

If you mentioned or expounded on this relationship in past posts and this thread, I missed it, having not been able to catch up or keep up with all the tales recounted here at the pub.

I am at a loss for words upon learning this. Just what I learned from these 2 books was a profound influence on my awakening. I can not currently remember whether I was reading Hills before or after my first Kundalini stirrings, but it was around the same time for me.

Thank you for sharing.

For an overview (for others) of all he was about, here is the wiki link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Hills

[onawah]

I had many profound openings upon reading his books, and one of the most profound experiences of my life was the first time I met him, after a speech he gave in Philadelphia.
His speech was remarkable, and his was the first aura I ever saw, which nearly caused me to fall out of my chair.
Christ Yoga of Peace, Nuclear Evolution, and Rise of the Phoenix are still among my favorite books, for both the knowledge and the inspiration they impart.

This are a couple of good photos of him here too:

Periodically I attend retreats where we do this type of work, feeling deeply within the body, looking for blockages and held emotion and go through a process of releasing it. It is rewarding though I have often been surprised at how many layers there can be.

I've done work like this in the past too- I find this process most effective for me in the water which is why I love watsu (water shiatsu) and water dance so much. Having said that, I would also like to clarify that the clearing I'm doing isn't like this at all- it's a direct engagement with deliberate contracts that have nothing to do with me and that I actively and consciously am dissolving. The difference is in my understanding of the nature of contracts and how they work in law and commerce. There is a specific intention and purpose in binding another to a contract and it is this specific intention, purpose and claim of 'ownership' that I am dissolving.

To describe the process I experience, maybe as more of an exercise for me in communication , we open the root chakra - visualizing and feeling - grounding into the Earth. We then open the crown chakra and feel golden Light pouring in to then move through, and fill the body. We look internally for any visual or sensation of blockage and feel into the emotion that is there, looking to the child and the experience(s) that put it there. It is about validation of the feeling and releasing it by whatever creative means we come up with within ourSelves. It is deep stuff. With my experiences, the feeling of this is what is important.

Anyway, I can be very simplistic in my use of words and this is not a complete description but I wanted to acknowledge that I personally see the importance of this type of work. I know there are different approaches and this has been one that I have worked with and continue to work with.

I don't know if you're familiar with Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or any of the other body based energy psychology modalities and I can highly recommend them for dissolving the knee jerk chemical history broken record responses that the body gets locked into through stress and old issues. I'm an EFT/Matrix Reimprinting practitioner (although I only work on my Self) and I can recommend learning these simple skills to get into really deep level release work.

As for the grounding down, I never ever do that. I've tried it and really blurk stuff happens to me. I kept getting told that it was because 'my lower chakras were blocked' and because I was 'resisting' the process of grounding, other such stuff: what it actually turned out to be is that my Otherkind nature doesn't work that way. How I do it is get really solid contact with the ground going in my feet and I let the energy pour up my legs and flood into my body, while focusing on the energy in my chest and letting that expand out wide in front of me, pouring my desire to connect with Gaia into that space. She responds in her own way to this and an energetic stream is sent *up* to me, which enters through my feet and pools into my lower chakras like a reverse waterfall- think of a fountain where the water flows upward from one bowl to another. It goes as high as my heart chakra. I do the same with the crown, I open the gates in me and hold a particular frequency, intention and purpose; I get a response from 'out there' that flows down to me. I expand and hold the signal; the flow always comes, bringing the message from Energy that contains the information regarding the element of the evolution that's relevant in that moment. I then use my heart chakra as a bridge between teh two energies, and they mix and swirl there, carrying their intertwined signals up and down the chakras and my spine. My heart is the bridge.

This way works for me: I'm always living with my energetic radar dish scanning the signal, my headphones on and my eyes turned to the skies, listening for the languages and transmissions that my own particular internal station and translators are tuned to. I have learned that this isn't the way most experience it and I've been looked at as if I just sprouted two heads when I talk about it.

I've also been subjected to lectures from 'energy experts' as to how this isn't the 'right' way of doing things. I'm looking forward to the day when I can spontaneously grow my horns while they're talking so that they go silent and then go away. Does that make me wicked? *snuffling laughter*

I know the ridiculousness of judging anyone, including myself, and I try not to because I perceive that we all pretty much do the best we can given our experiences and belief structure

.

Depends on the crowd you're running with actually. I have sat beside a tiny grave as a tiny white coffin was lowered gently into the ground, the mother sobbing inconsolably as her six week old son was buried: the reason he was *in* the coffin was because she got into bed with him when she was rolling, blind eyed drunk as usual, and this time she suffocated him. After the funeral she went and got rolling, blind eyed drunk. My sister was responsible for the death of her two and a half month old daughter; the autopsy showed me niece hadn't been fed in 18 hours, apart from the other trauma she had. My sister showed up to her daughter's funeral so utterly wasted and out of it that she was incoherent. Her other two children were already in care; why the baby was left with her I'll never, ever know, and my tiny niece paid for that decision with her life.

Every day sh!t happens to Beings that cannot defend themselves at the hands of adults who then use a metric tonne of rationalisations to excuse their self indulgent and harmful actions. Love is a verb, it's an action word, as is integrity- integrity without action is nothing more than a nice idea, another possibility in a sea of possibilities where nothing is actually chosen. I've had people have a go at me because I talk about such 'darkness' - I've had it said that I can't 'see the light' because of my childhood experiences, that I haven't learned to truly forgive, blibble wibble, and for ages I explored that because I never assume I am seeing things without virus distortion- and in the end, I decided narp, I was seeing things without distortion and that some things just need to be utterly non-tolerated. Regardless of rationalisations.

Now, this *can* be done without judgement- and what I've learned is, to the one running the behaviour that is being said 'no' to, their headspace and emotional level is *always* going to interpret 'no' as judgement. Some say there's no difference between saying 'no' and having a boundary, and being judgemental, because there's a judgement about the behaviour that one is saying 'no' to, and sometimes that 'no' means that individual can't be around the one saying 'no'. To me, no is a choice that I'm willing to live into and take responsibility for.

Personally, I am living into saying 'no' and holding my boundary- it's what allows me to say an unequivocal 'yes' to my vision. There are a lot of things that need a committed 'no' these days, because it's the doorway to the 'yes' inside, being willing to live into the things that others won't and can't tolerate, being willing to open my Self to the unspeakable size of the vision of my Self that I have, the things that aren't spoken about because what if they sound too egotistical? What if I fail and can't pull it off? What if I'm just not the One I've been waiting for?

Then I turn and look the incredible scope and possibility of my energetic Self and ask-

what if that's exactly what I am?



Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
Morpheus: No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when you're ready, you won't have to.

I know about the controllers here in the forum, the ones that seek to modulate the frequencies of others. I'm not interested in their machinations and I'm really glad you're not too. I love the rising of the frequency here in the Pub, the way we're getting it together to say our individual 'no thanks' to things that don't serve the evolution of *all* the individuals here.

I'm being really honest here: I don't care how insane it sounds to others, or how many trot out the experience of the Ghost Dance to demonstrate that it isn't possible: I want to not need to dodge bullets. To my mind, this is the only level up that makes sense, because how many iterations of slaughtered visionaries and carriers of the evolution signal does it take before evolution bypasses the slaughter bit? We need something far more visionary than bombs, biological weapons and visions of a nuclear wasted planet, which is what they go to when threatened; it's time to transform the frequency completely, otherwise it's just another slaughter and recycle. I'm over that. I'm prepared to be my own guinea pig- I *am*, believe me, in ways I don't often talk about here- and I'm really clear that this is what I want. Sui generis and do no harm evolution, with a large ability to back up the 'ah, no, actually' in a way that doesn't involve their virus frequency.

That's just my thing. *sideways eyed grinning*

What I perceive isn't necessarily what another might see however .

absolutely nothing of what I've written is a negation of your experience and nor is it meant that way. I'm the kind of Being that holds up my part of the hologram in response to someone else's Art and vision- it's my way of deepening the signal and space, not negating another. I don't have an interest in devaluing in any way.

I've never felt anything phony coming from this channeler, and she is certainly right on in this message about the way I am feeling these days, at least, and it's so strong, I'll bet at least some of you are feeling it too...

You may reach a point at which you look around and think that you are all alone. Your people interactions feed you a reflection of who you are and keep you entrenched in the 3D version of yourself. The disconnections free you to transform. Some of the people you lose you will reconnect with in the future, but there will be others you will never see again (in this life). This circumstance of ascension may be one of the most dismaying and one that is easily misinterpreted. Self-judgment and guilt are likely when you are losing friends. Understand this is not anything you’ve done wrong. And remember you are never alone. You are surrounded by spiritual support.

Your vacant feelings may also be intensified by judging the new realities, comparing them with past 3D situations, and finding them lacking in anything you formerly considered valuable. Before you fully accommodate and integrate the new patterns, you can feel bereft of any viable version of reality to which you can attach your hopes. You find yourselves at the center of a bridge with both ends engulfed in fog.

Each ascender can release pain and help clear the fog by simply recognizing the vacant period for the transition that it is and suspend judgment of the emptiness. Be at peace with dearth. Allow this vacuum-moment its reality so it may be refilled with new patterns, improved skills and expanded perceptions for the ascended you. The feeling of vacancy should be short-lived. It is only needed to activate and establish connections with 4D/5D reality that will replace the 3D patterns so you can proceed across your bridge.

I'm wondering, is the issue the same if the word 'ascension' is replaced by 'evolution'? Is there the same issue with the word 'evolution' in its essential meaning, which is to increase in complexity and ability?

As I have observed, there is a sliding scale of behaviour within the sentient 'I am' species of this planet, with various placements along the sliding scale within the two poles of 'adaptable' and 'unadaptable'. I am intentionally attempting to make the language as neutral as possible and searching for words that will express the gamut of the experiences without loading them with any kind of perspective other than what the words themselves suggest.

Adaptable Beings demonstrate a fluidity and ability to embrace increasing complexity than those more towards the unadaptable end of the scale demonstrate. The reasons for such unadaptability are, for the sake of the point I'm discussing, irrelevant: what is of interest is that periodically major upheavals in the societal consciousness occur and those tending towards the far end of the adaptable marker rise to the surface and set the new baseline for what comes after. As a recent example of this: 30 years ago computer competency was not a widespread skill in the workplace or daily life. When it became clear that computer literacy was becoming a requirement for the workplace, those who were most adaptable went and retrained (I'm not talking here about those who had an interest in such things, I'm talking about those who were first affected by the dramatic workplace changes); the rest followed with degrees of willingness dependent on their adaptability, until there was the large group that couldn't/wouldn't embrace the shifts and these found themselves facing either much lower paid jobs, unemployment, retirement or having to retrain in completely new areas of work.

Computers provided a catalyst for many evolutions- increases in complexity and ability- in an almost total spectrum way, not just information processing: look at the www behaves as a social evolution and consciousness tool. The criticisms aren't the point- the tool exists, just because some are uninspiring with it isn't the fault of the tool. Technology stands in its place neutrally, it's what is done with it that is a reflection of the intention, purpose and character of the user.

In every evolution, the necessity for a new language emerges concurrently because there are elements that need to be expressed that have no current adequate words. 30 years ago the word 'google' was unknown- now it is a verb, amongst other things, one of these being a way to suggest an individual take responsibility for their own situation: "why don't you google it?". We have lasers, tazers, ipads and touchscreens, we have email, transgendered, pan sexual and terabyte. These words came about because there was something that needed to be described, even if at the time the awareness of this was limited.

What I'm seeing now is that there is something emerging that is seeking a new language to embrace and describe it: something is seeking to be expressed and there's a clunking of language as this is being lived into. Perhaps what is currently lacking are open and genuine explorations of what is seeking to be expressed: what do you mean when you say *this* here? What is the intention and purpose of the communication? What words are missing from our vocabulary that are needed to adequately describe what we are seeing and experiencing? How can we embrace the multiple layers of experience that each individual is having rather than trying to negate them?

That's what I'm observing. It looks like evolution to me. Some describe this also as a frequency thing, an 'ascension' thing, a spiritual shift, a consciousness shift, and it's all those things as well to my perspective. What is more interesting to me than getting antsy about the words is getting to the heart of what individuals are expressing when they say those things, getting to the core of what platform is being used: is what is being expressed another way of maintaining the old paradigm, just in a fluffier worded form? Is it psychological despotism disguised as spiritual wisdom? Is it heteronomy disguised as evolution? That's more interesting to me personally: it doesn't matter how attractive the words are, if they've been infused with a deadly neurotoxin then they're not worth wasting time on.

Also cross-posted from the same thread - thanks for pointing me to it.

If one understands the nature of vibrational physics, understands that nothing is not electromagnetic vibration dictated by those physics, then one can understand what is meant by ascension.

This comes close to describing the way I perceive reality, and have my whole life. I perceive all matter as Light vibrating at a certain frequency, including my physical vehicle. The rate of vibration is increasing. My personal frequency increase is accelerating. This is not theory, it is direct experience, at least for me.

I once proved to myself I could 'see' with an antenna array of nerves in my hands, by being able to identify the colors of otherwise identical writing pens by the rate of vibrations 'felt' when waving my hands about 4-5 inches above the object to be perceived.

For me ascending is not a bad term, it is a logical (to me) result of increasing frequency vibration rate out of the range of the vibration rates of the 3D matter reality currently shared here. Whether that can happen in an existing vehicle for one such as myself remains to be seen.
