Here and Now...What's Happening?

[ulli]

Posted by Carmody (here)
Went to a concert last night, something I've been waiting for over 30 years to see. We were on the floor, in front of the stage.

Before that, outside, in the crowd waiting to go in..I decided to expand my reach, to get out a bit. well, my brother was standing beside me. He was just recovering from a flu. Perhaps the resonance was a bit much for him, as we are family. As I let go my grip on my specific local person, and expanded into the space, he began to pass out. I grabbed him when he started to go down. You can imagine that this caused a distraction.

Thus, we ended up having to wait and I was considering not going at all, so he could be clear of the crowds. (in that condition). He recovered, and after a blood sugar test showed nothing at all being off...we headed in, just before the event began. I had, of course, pulled my awareness back in.

When in there, we had floor seats, about as far back as one can get, and still see the stage. THAT, if only the 1000 people in front of you, remained seated.

After a few go rounds of people standing and sitting, I decided I was tired of that, and my brother was in no shape to stand again or try.

Crowd energy is something different, a lower level (poor choice of terminology) but connected system. More invisible, shall we say, and in the big city, part of the unconscious. In the big city, something like a concert is one of the only places that city folk manage to get their energies synced up.

It would take some time to explain how it was done, but I managed to get the 1000 or so people in front of us, all the way to the stage...to remain seated. Ours was the only section that remained seated. I could not hold it forever, as one person would be all it takes and the cascade to standing would have begun. I managed to get about 30+ minutes out of it, while the other sections where standing.

I wanted to commit to a real 'blow out' and get the whole crowd really fired up and make it a serious 'night to remember'... but I was worried about my brother and had to keep things down, and not really let go. There is also the fact that one can overdo it, and fry people with their own over expended energies. Basically, regarding their own unrealized connections and pathways...they are paper, you (can) set them on fire. People can get injured from that, so it should be no casual game.

(hint: with people, one person can say or do, and it transfers, and spreads. If properly begun, thought out, or projected. With cells in the body, the same, the light of one firing can and does cascade into others and the process accelerates in scope and size. Recall nuclear fission. They use the billiard ball explanation, of compactness and density causing a cascade, once it has started 'breaking apart'--secondary impacts. Now, don't all of those sound like they may have some connection?)

Now that you have revealed your identity at last, we know who you really are.
We shall address you as Sir Carmo-ses-dy.



Story brought back some memories of my own.
Sitting outside a huge purple and orange colored building in Toronto dockland at 2 am,
waiting for my son and his college friends to come out after a Primus concert,
with me having offered to chauffeur them back to Oakville where they were living at the time,
And of course they were the last ones to emerge after the other 22,000 kids had filtered out, with me standing at the exit door staring at all of them,
while horizontally driven snow didn't seem to bother the bare-skinned girls running out, I was a block of ice,
doing a time travel to my own youth, concerts on Saturday nights.... much smaller scale event at London's Middle Earth
with the Pink Floyd playing every week, their backs to the audience due to their shyness.
Back then a crowd of 2000 seemed humongous.

And here is Sir Car Mosesdy's alter ego:
parting the red sea:

ulli, wondering why she is feeling playful all of a sudden.

Good morning Villagers! Sauteed onions, scrambled egg whites with fresh spinach and marinated mozzarella balls with a bit on chicken sausage on the side. Hearty protein filled breakfast to start the day. Fixed it for my son who has a Wing Chun Kung Fu (Robert Downey Junior style) seminar today. I had to partake in it a little. Overcast and still raining. Maybe we will have a few sun breaks today...

I love all of this mornings stories too, and Bob the cat is especially cool. All my 22 years I have rescued cats in Costa Rica and then had to find them cozy homes, since I already had three cats and didn't want ten.
In some cases the only reason they survived was because they picked up suffient energy from my hands lying there, barely able to breathe, filthy and diarrhea crusted, with my husband saying "don't touch it, it's dying", as was the case with Kafka.
Well, they all made it, but then their family line ended as all ended up getting neutered.

"She turned them into neuts"

They didn't get better.

Take the "e" out of neuts, and you have nuts, which they lost. The price for being found.

I hope those cats never heard the "why do dogs lick their balls?" joke, because, they can't.

A little Sunday silliness

Flesh in a fishtank?

maybe not so far in the future, you might have growlights, and a fishtank..and be growing.....flesh.

Why? Because...you asked for it.

it might be bizarre, but it is probably the road we are going to be going down. Or something very similar to it. Realistically, something like it is going to have to take place. The coming shape of the world demands it, with intensity and pressure. It will have to 'come to be'.

Fake meat: is science fiction on the verge of becoming fact?

Think of it as an intermediary step to becoming vegan, or non flesh consuming, regarding the killing and eating of others. More of a weaning, than anything. In order to find clarity. Recall that a child's soother is a substitute for a teat.

Once the cycle of flesh consumption is broken (dimensional connections as well), then the realizations can cascade into being.

Not doing the no-nuts thing would have been even more cruel, as few people here even like cats...
(at least in Greece they put the street cats into the Souflakis for their Christmas lunches...)

The foreigners here are known for loving them, and so end up with unwanted litters thrown over the fence into their front gardens
(spell stone walls with broken beer bottles cemented into the top)

so unless another 100,000 Americans come here quickly the neuterers will stay in business a bit longer.

Central America is still in the horses-and-dogs-for-pets stage...
Cats will take another 200 years to find acceptance although the many cat Youtubes might speed up the process.

Then it will be up to the cats to manage their nine lives.

I agree about neutering. The whole pet thing and marketing to emotionally ill equipped people is a story in itself. A very unpopular story I will not touch.

Avert your eyes, Modwiz:


Scientists believe that this is the perfect way to make people happy and feed them with meat. The environment is saved and animals spared. The only downside is the fact that a burger grown in the lab will cost around a third of a million dollars.

Or at least this is what Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands claims. He says that such a method of growing meat would have help us enormously. The vascular biologist states that he will be coming with lab-grown meat next year since he wants to prove that this concept is possible.

The thing with this meat is that even if it sounds like being an imitation of meat, it’s not. The only difference between meat grown in lab and meat coming from an animal is that the first has never been part of a living animal. The in-vitro meat is a real flesh product.

Post says that he uses animal cell stems harvested from animal slaughterhouses which he then feeds with all the nutrients that are needed in order for these to grow properly. The costs of this are so high because the cultured-meat burger is “handmade and it’s time and labour-intensive”.

The meat doesn’t look that appetizing because the in-vitro meat lacks blood and that’s why it a weird color. The meat that you see in the picture above is nothing else but thin strips of 100% lab-grown muscle tissue. These have no fat and no blood. If 3,000 strips of this kind are put together and if some fat is added, then we might get the first lab-grown burger.

This whole concept would help us cut the emissions, save water and energy and feed the growing population as well. The concept deserves to be paid attention but is it worth paying so much for it? Couldn’t money be directed in other ways of saving the environment, the animals and the natural resources?

This made me LOL.
Modwiz, you are not the only one who has those type of thoughts, but what is one to do?
Life has a lot of challenges... and sometimes flows into weird directions.

Ok, so I rose to the challenge....
how about this then?

[Mark]

Wow, what a day it's been.

It's good to see Carmody come out of the closet fully. I did have an inkling about who you are tho', man. You can't hide light of that caliber. It seeps out around the edges.

Nice shots, Fred!

We have a cat that spent the winter indoors, but he was child of a stray and has always been feral, Sirayah says, so he is the kind that stays in the attic all day, only comes out at night, or hides in corners and behind things even though he's 17 years old. He's outside for the summer now. I go out and feed him and it's good to see him actually out. Last fall he would stay under the porch and only come out at night to eat, then go back under the porch. This summer I find him out and about, exploring, in the grass, eating insects, up on the porch, he's acting like a real cat again. I hope he enjoys his summer, we don't think he has many left.

After a morning of sweltering heat. We had some Incredible storms with intense lightning and thunder here in The East. Things have gotten a little cooler since. The scorched greenery here in NY accepted this nourishing nectar from above drinking each raindrop with gratitude. The lightning drained my batteries a bit, but most sensational to watch the fireworks in the sky. God I Love The Delicate Sound Of Thunder. Its Time to sit back with a book and enjoy my blissful moments. Nature doesnt cost a thing. I like free vacations.

Enclosed is a free HD rock concert as an extra added bonus! Enjoy the Thunder.

Ahhhhhh taking in a deep breath. Thought I'd share with The Village People.

I remember the concert. I felt the sound bouncing off the solar plexus. The bass were very strong. I remember sayin to Joaquin (Earth in Avalon)
- Do you feel this!!
A Concert to Remember.

Thanks Whitefeather and remember, you're the Coach of the Village Soccer Team.
