Here and now, straightening my collar, brushing the dust off my sleeves, licking my finger and sticking it into the wind...
Setting sails...anyone for a desert island?

i have been able to see such things since I was little. Well, let me amend that. I can remember being in bed as a small child and sensing a presence in the room with me and knowing it was the shadows. I never thought it was monsters, I knew it was the shadows that were the source of the consciousness that was close by. Those memories correspond with the onset of sleep paralysis, when I was about 8, 9 years old. Repressed the memory of that knowledge for decades but relatively recent events have opened me up again. Now I see all kinds of things out of my peripheral vision, things flying overhead, things sitting in corners, things going in and out of walls. My meditation sessions get all hazy white, the ground moves, furniture bends shapes energetic forms come out of the floor and go through the roof, milky things float past me (I generally meditate with my eyes open) and, when I close my eyes, geometric patterns and waves and blobs of energy do all kinds of crazy gyrations. Very helpful in my energy work, but it can be a bit distracting when you're doing or saying something then whip your head around to catch what apparently cannot be seen directly.

On the tv show, Fringe, Dr. Bishop once said that dimensions are different degrees distant from direct vision, he said 90 degrees, I think, which means that seeing things out of the corner of our eyes means we are seeing into the next closest dimension or something to that effect. I've read that elsewhere as well, but I went looking for the source a couple weeks ago but couldn't find one. Maybe someone here knows?

I don't know what any of the stuff I see is for sure. But I know a lot of it is conscious and intelligent.

I, too, have always seen and felt presences...conscious, intelligent and aware. Some of what I 'see' I believe are disincarnated beings or people who have passed on...I can feel their personalities as well as their presence.

The energies that dart about in my peripheral vision I believe are multi-dimensional beings/energies who are perhaps functioning at a higher vibration or frequency than we tend to be. It may be why I see some of them when I raise my vibration...but who knows. I no longer try to follow their movements...it can drive you nuts!

This is another thing that I accept and allow to be....it's less distracting that way.

Hi Astrid,

Please forgive my complete ignorance but I have heard in the past various slurs on his holiness.
To that extent, in your opnion, which I can guess seeing as you have posted this event, is he in any way connected to the cabal please?

There I said it, yes I am being stupid no doubt but disinfo abounds, if I am aware then so are others so hopefully your response (gentle I hope) , will help to put things straight for the record.

Incidentally I have been to Inverness a few times, beautiful!

Belle, in the book "The Active Side of Infinity" by Carlos Castaneda, Carlos and Don Juan have a dialogue about the "shadows" they call them flyers. The Old Seers discovered them and said they are a foreign entity to this plane -3rd dimensional astral-earth-plane. If you haven't read the book it's really good.

Love

Nora

Thanks, Nora. I haven't read that book yet, but look forward to reading it.

It's always comforting to know you are not alone in what you perceive. I've seen and felt things all my life, and for a time thought everyone was like me. Learned a hard lesson as a child speaking about it, so I rarely mention it anymore.

The point of this thread is for people to be able to speak about their reality, and especially about stuff the world outside is still in denial of. So please feel free. Reports of dreams are my favorite, also OBEs.

I'm expecting my Little Prince this morning. School's out for him, last day yesterday (he started pre-school at Montessori in January) so I will be playing all day while his parents will be finalizing everything for the big move tomorrow.

Astrid, I feel for you. I wish I could go help you with your move too. I am doing what I can on my side of the world, praying that you get the strenght and help required. Soon, you will be able to go in bear mode.

I had a troublesome night. Now I know why. I'm so sorry.... Thank you Paul. More often than not, I have no words to express what I am feeling as things are so intense. Times are changing and like EagleSpirit says, we are going Higher and Higher. Love, Love, Love.

Moving more big things today went smoothly
And the highlight was my industrial sewing
machine finally gets to be back in action
My new work room is the master bedroom which
means i get to have my millinery , fashion and lighting
projects all together. And the undercover back porch has
room for my furniture making . So far it's shaping up
to be a fun space , all it needs is me .

On his holiness , yes I have read bits and pieces on
the rumors surrounding him but I'm still interested to
hear what he has to say . I came across that post and
if felt right to share here

I guess take what you may from it
I remember watching kundun when it came out and
I thought it was a simply amazing movie
Scorsese did a superb job I thought .

Must sleep now
Tomorrow I'm building gates and fixing fences
with my ex and asking for a calm but productive
day

Love to all

Hey, Mark,

Everybody is connected, good, bad, beautiful, interested and indifferent. I think the DL is a polite fellow who doesn't like to say anything bad about anybody. To those interested in sowing seeds of doubt and discord amongst those spiritually inclined, his tendency could be misconstrued to reveal active allegience when simple positive tact was all there really was. I hope it's ok, offering my thought on the matter, when someone else's was asked for.

I've stepped in to shield my siblings from the physical blows of a madman. Learned how to deflect the pain in my mind while the physical body stumbled about. But I never mastered the art of shielding my heart, at least not for long. And still today it is the case; even more so these days.

It hurts when there's disharmony. But I also know it's all part of these ending days of darkness moving into Light of the New. So I will not take sides because it is not my way. Love and healing pulsate out to All. It's not something I'm 'doing', it's an awareness of what's happening.

Blessings,
Paula

Remember, all is well. And the sun spots have disappeared as I knew they would.
Beautiful colors.

Good Morning my family,

It's beautiful outside. The sky is clear blue after a storm overnight, nature is creating its music. The sun is out and not too hot yet. No chair and stick needed as all the creepy crawlies are sleeping in. Peaceful.

My former students, including the little boy, N from my dream, have been hanging in mind. He was about 10 at the time he was my kiddo, special education being my area he was safe under my wing. Like every one of my kiddos, he had emotional problems-labelled as a behavior problem. My creativity and genuine love for these kiddos usually overcame the difficult situations if I could see them coming. Having my coffee this morning, I'm chuckling at my own unorthodox teaching methods.

He was introduced to "x" in math, and it rather confounded him. He was not the only one, I had high school students who shut down at the mention of "x" as well. I was one to always, always try to find a real life application for academic concepts for the kiddos. One day I had a table full of kiddos who would moan loudly and shut down at the mention of "x." I helped them out of their respective funks by substituting other, real-life things for "x"... N was deep off into video games, and Mario in particular. The older kids, remember some were gang members, some slept on the floor so as to avoid random bullets through windows and walls, and they all shared quite a distaste for school (which came from feeling stupid for a very long time.)

For N, I substitued "y" (yoshi-a character in mario) and "a" (apples-what yoshi ate for points) for "x" and "y"...so it went something like, "If Yoshi needs 500 points, and each apple is worth 100 points, how many apples did he have to eat?" (100a=500) He was doing algebra immediately.

For the older kids, who never came to school with drugs in their systems and gladly left all bandanas at the school door out of respect for me, I had to be a little more creative. I tried and tried, and finally just got obvious. It went something like this, "Let's say, for the sake of conversation, that you have something you want to sell. We will call this "j." And, let's say for the sake of conversation that one of these "j" things is a quarter..." Well, the whole table of them cracked up laughing, and immediately they were engaged...because it was what they knew, something they could relate to...and of course I had to correct that amount...which I knew I would (the very reason I threw out the figure of 25 cents)...

Lo and behold, everyone walked into my room that day hating algebra, not having a clue what it was, and left doing polynomials. I will add here that they also left feeling masters of a concept some of their peers were having trouble with - confidence aplenty!

This, my friends, is why I will never teach again. I let my certification expire. I cannot imagine any other school in the world allowing this, but truly it is the way these particular kiddos became algebra wizzes...

And, if I cannot figure out the meaning of that dream with the self-dosing machine for pain and death, I fear I will be carrying N with me for a while...along with alllllll my other kiddos.

Back to Here and Now...needing to mow today. I wonder if I will lol. Also needing to pull into my shell, and I have a hunch that will win

Wishing all your needs are met today.

Much Love,

[ulli]

I read your post twice searching for the reason why you will never teach again..I thought it would have been worthwhile to continue, given the amazing results..
Huh? What did I miss?

Oh, sorry. There are certain practices that would be frowned on, and chances are good that I used every one of them. They work. Things like allowing my students to hug me, ruffling their hair, allowing them to entrust troubling thoughts or situations to me without fear it would get anyone in trouble. Of course I reported actual child abuse, but there were kids who needed to tell their stories and I allowed them a safe outlet.

For example, in my leadership/mentor program, we spoke about what makes a good leader and used many in the gang hierarchy as examples. Their qualities were charisma, honesty, ambition, passion for what they believe in...etc., etc. In the example I gave here, "j" in algebra stood for "joints", marijuana cigarettes which they all, no doubt, had on their person for after school. And trust and respect were all important to these kids. Word got around school - I honestly don't know what the "word" was - but one day a girl came into my classroom and said, "Ms. Jinjer? I know I am not one of your students, but I really need to talk to someone and I cannot talk to my Mom about it because she is always drunk and she would kill me. (and sometimes this was literally the case.) I need some help. I think I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do." In this situation, she needed practical, logical advice. First? Get a pregnancy test. Second? Here are some phone numbers of agencies who can help you. Third? Don't report what she just said...because if I had, many students who truly needed an adult's perspective would never get it. Never.

The way that I would have to refrain from all the unacceptable methods would kill me. I couldn't be in a situation where I know what would work, and not be able to use it. I think I would explode lol...

I could see what NO ONE else could see. A boy, Jn, who was around 13 or 14, was schizophrenic. His voices told him to do really awful things, and oh! the struggles that poor soul had...every moment of every day. You know what he had in him? The ability to do intricate blueprint-like drawing. He could have become a very successful architect. Everyone else - even the adults - saw a freak, someone who needed to be hospitalized and didn't belong around all these other kids. Jn's younger brother, C, was what they labelled a "selective mute." Oh, the things he had seen and experienced at the age of 10...a life's full of trauma I suspect. I looked in his eyes, the very first time, and I saw the sweetest soul. Childlike and afraid. And I reached out my hand and he hugged me. Day one. And in the few short months I knew him, he was making such strides based solely on trust and feeling safe. He was communicating with me...oh, he hadn't spoken verbally, but he was communicating. Nodding, giggling, letting me know his preferences....

And, the boy "B"...who became one of the most loving mentors to the younger kids in the school. He tearfully handed me a piece of paper one day. Front and back were full with his handwriting in pencil. He poured out his heart about the first time he killed someone...was, if memory serves, in the Latin Kings gang, quite violent and cruel they were. You see, given the chance, these kids would give so much of their hearts to the younger students with the intent that the younger students NEVER join a gang. And they came to these places in their lives because I did not judge them...the drugs, the belonging they felt/did on the street...I told them, every one, "Who am I to judge you? You do what you need to do to survive every night of your life. And because you survived, you are here in front of me today." Not a single one of them would have chosen the streets, the streets chose them. But each one had a talent and a drive, and they were being steered back into feeling loved and valued for who they were...not thrown out like yesterday's garbage.

Eek...I apologize...I am rambling. I'll stop now lol...
