Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Ernie Nemeth]

When I was a teenager, the future shone bright with technological innovations that were to radically alter "for the better" all of society. None of it ever materialized.

Nitinol was one of them. Omni magazine even had a contest for the best idea of how to use this marvelous new material. Soon after not another word was heard about it. Another "improvement was the new artificial flavors and fragrances. Omni again was in the fore, using its readers as guinea pigs. There were special editions where its readers were asked to rate various smells as being close to the real smell. Soon after they were in our products with virtually no testing done on their long-term effects. The same goes for many new advances in scientific theories and technology. It rapidly became obvious (at least to me and those in my circles) that "something notorius was afoot". I continued to follow science but I no longer believed it would be used for the betterment of mankind.

Unfortunately, we were right...

I have not read Jim Kirwan's stuff for quite some time, having 'gotten the point' long ago. However, this is very telling, regarding creeping net censorship.

Sorry, everyone, I'm a bit slow today as far as the Village is concerned; still stuck with Meeradas' post...
since then he has me going down Turkmenistani rabbit holes...

so here is more distraction...
..what an education!
Borat was nothing by comparison.

although this video may inform you more on how British humour works than the absence of ballet in Turkmenistan:

This post below was written in reply to Waky's post, not Meeradas', who sneaked his picture in there while I was writing.
This picture has just opened a whole new can of worms in my head. Shame on you, Meeradas. I'll throw the book at you.


@ Wakytweaky
Great. I have my natal Capricorn sun squared by Neptune and like all squares this has thrown the whole works at me, regarding Piscean complexes. Neptune is the ruler of Pisces, and like water, he dilutes and dissolve.
The spiritual wanderings, the getting lost, the tendency to being easily misled, being impressionable, and recurring loss of identity, which was then always quickly countered by my strong Aquarians planets which insist on identity.
So even though right now I'm on a temporary plateau where I fell fairly clear-headed, I know that it is only a matter of time and I' ll be in deep confusion again, especially when Neptune starts the opposition to my natal Saturn.

Being caught in a net or web is currently going to be a problem for lots of people as Neptune is currently in Pisces, still only at two degrees.the next few years will have all humanity experience what it feels like to be a Pisces. More people will become spiritual, but that can work in many ways. Becoming lost or entangled is a typical Piscean karma, and which creates in an individual a desire for clarity and finding direction.

For some this might simply mean getting freed from the shackles of extreme materialism and to own only what is essential for operating one's current agenda. Many people who have lost their homes have come through the experience with a new vision of who they are and what they want, and mostly what they want to DO with their lives. They have learnt a big lesson about their banks and how those easy loans and promises entrapped them in a false sense of security.
Accumulating more stuff than is needed won't work any longer with Neptune in Pisces, as all will be disolved and redistributed elsewhere.
Yet there will be the discovery of provisions appearing just at the right moment, again and again.
Invisibility is not just an attribute of dark and ill-meaning entities, but also of those who wish us well.
Saviors are all around, and they help mostly those who don't sit around waiting for saviors to show up.
The saying 'God helps those who help themselves' (and others) is still true as ever, and nowadays God helps those even more who have formed groups.

...and in 'sync' my current post in a new thread...which I usually do not do but just had to at this time in the juncture


The Birth of a New Religion, The New Gods are Coming!

Interesting...those in front of me in my life that I connect with generally live a life of giving the best they know how...
not a one of them are waiting to be saved by anyone or anything and are simply living the change for the better they wish to unfold.
Their awareness that something 'higher' is helping because they are helping themselves is accepted and understood with gratitude and simply adds more positive energy to their each and every move in the now.

I was sure that by now I would be driving a hover car over land, swamps, sand and water, with no walls or hedges in sight.

Corvus!

Your Blue Jay doesn't look like ours, but gorgeous just the same. I love the auburn-red under the tail and the black mohawk. Whenever we see a blue jay, and there is now a three generation family that roosts in our yard and they eat willingly out of our garden. If I find a grub or earthworm while digging or weeding, I'll always toss it into the compost, and employ its benevolent activities there. If one of the Jays is watching me while I work, it will swoop down boldly and snatch it up. We address them each with the name Corvus. The kids are quick to say, "Look! There's Corvus!" I'll have to take a picture of our resident blue jays post it, too.

Hiy Brother!

We have two varieties here in our garden: the Stellar's Jay has the mohawk crest, and the Scrub Jay doesn't.

Here's the Stellar's Jay: http://www.pbase.com/1heart/stellars_jay

It sure does work, this energy from nowhere.
I think it is also called "the Cornucopia Effect".
So I went and googled an image to enhance my point and lookie, lookie, what I came up with:
if it isn't Eaglespirit and Modwiz country:

So we were too late to rescue this one...
and it helped itself.
Good turtle!

Great music: http://www.waxaudio.com.au/audio/alb...for_the_people [scroll down for single track links].
My favs are "Chemical Diver" and the two following; all are great. Album downloadable for free. Enjoy.

Am in Virginia nearly to Tennessee where we will see my sister tonight.

Thank you so much for your words of comfort to me and my family.

Love to you all.

I know, it sounds like excuses. Maybe so...

The music is unmistakable, Clannad.
I always like to see avalonians in "real time". Since I "met" you, I always think WhiteCrowBlackDeer is the Lady of the Lighthouse.
