I'm having a problem with the part about me being absent from the forum for two months, when I have clarified that I will be around.
Why would you want such a misleading statement to stay up?

Ulli, sometimes, you read parts of my post differently than i've intended. I've remove it (them) for you.

Thanks. Actually, the question about your intention only came up after your refusal to respect that wish which I had expressed. Now I will explain where I was coming from. This is a fast-moving thread with many regulars.
My concern was the fall-out I might have to deal with due to the misunderstanding caused by your announcement.
Another clarification
Although most people associate Barbados with vacation time I don't do the touristy thing that much.
Nor am I staying with my family, as their house is too small. No guest room.
I have my own apartment there, and spend most of the day alone. The Internet and particularly the Village make it possible...
Without that I might not even go.

Love love love

I got to talking to a lady today, who eventually started swinging the conversation around to the Bible. The usual yellow alert went off in my head like "okee dokee, time to start wrapping this one up", and then she hit me with a curve ball from out in left field somewhere. She looks at me in all sincerity and asks: "Have you ever thought about if God might be an alien?"

Well yellow alert quickly turned into "now THIS is getting interesting".

That is interesting Fred. I was staying with my Aunt who is 78 for a few days recently and she is a devote Pentecostal. We were talking religion and I went off on Ancient Aliens and the references to the bible. She was sitting across the room and move closer so she could hear better. It was like she was saying I am not quit of sure, I don't really know so tell me more kind of thing. I think in this day and time, more and more are questioning so many things. It's is about time!

That's interesting as well benevolentcrow, as people are usually well entrenched in their ways by 78, especially Pentecostals. This lady was definately a Bible person, but we were talking about similar things, just a slightly different language. We talked about things ranging from the 6th sense, to the Annunaki. Hell, she didn't even bat an eye when I laid on her that I suspect the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was actually the "good guy"!(LOL)

It does make me wonder if "the stars are all lined up" so to speak, so that the aether is just bursting at the seams with long dormant, but awakening truth, making people not so fast to just laugh it off. If this is indeed the case, we're in for one hell of a ride!

[Fred Steeves]

Come to think of it, yesterday I was visiting a friend who I only see maybe a couple times a year, we used to work together way back when. The most we usually discuss is politics and such, and he's never seemed a spiritual type person. Very smart and common sense like, just never spiritual type stuff. Suddenly he starts emphatically describing to me how vital it is that we learn to stop living our lives in fear, no matter what!

Then it's on to how he's starting to think that life might just be an illusion, and there's much more to it than this. That was a fun conversation as well, and he hasn't been reading any books or anything. But he does likes to observe the world around him, and contemplate it.

I e-mailed him Zeitgeist the movie when I got home. He's never really come across this kind of information before, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks.

Mending the Sacred Hoop of Life

It is a good time to be alive

Black Elk: Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux, 1863-1950

"Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking."
Earth Prayer

"Grandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice. You lived first, and you are older than all need, older than all prayer. All things belong to you -- the two-legged, the four-legged, the wings of the air, and all green things that live.
"You have set the powers of the four quarters of the earth to cross each other. You have made me cross the good road and road of difficulties, and where they cross, the place is holy. Day in, day out, forevermore, you are the life of things."
Hey! Lean to hear my feeble voice.
At the center of the sacred hoop
You have said that I should make the tree to bloom.

With tears running, O Great Spirit, my Grandfather,
With running eyes I must say
The tree has never bloomed

Here I stand, and the tree is withered.
Again, I recall the great vision you gave me.

It may be that some little root of the sacred tree still lives.
Nourish it then
That it may leaf
And bloom
And fill with singing birds!

Hear me, that the people may once again
Find the good road
And the shielding tree.



The Sunset


Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy...
But anywhere is the center of the world.



A long time ago my father told me what his father had told him, that there was once a Lakota holy man, called "Drinks Water", who dreamed what was to be... He dreamed that the four-leggeds were going back to the Earth, and that a strange race would weave a web all around the Lakotas. He said, "You shall live in square gray houses, in a barren land..." Sometimes dreams are wiser than waking. (1932)

"Hopefully, we can all quickly begin the task of mending The Sacred Hoop of Life in Black Elk's vision and begin working together to save the Earth Mother, ourselves and all things. Let us stop killing each other and the world around us.... Instead, let us become Spiritual warriors fighting our greatest enemy - ourselves...."

The indigenous peoples will become cherished again, there is no doubt in my mind.
There is even a Bahai prophecy that states that they will become the leaders of mankind.
If society falls apart we may well have to rely on their survival knowledge.

Paradox is the Point of Power

“... paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things....”

“It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen as those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

“But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically...”

“...But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?”

“...it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.”

“What we think of as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“

“Bashar: 2012 - Many Earths Conundrum - We Individually Choose”
(from thread: “BASHAR 2012: Many Earths Conundrum We Individually Choose”

"Paradox is the Point of Power"

Source: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZKv8Zw2uqO0

- Barnet Bain - @ 41 seconds - Paradox, a holding of two or more separate frequency of ideas and/or actions simultaneously without reduction of attention access ? from either task.
- Barnet Bain continued - @ 1:08 - What else is paradox? Paradox is also has a mystical function. Paradox is also a channel of communication from aspects of the self beyond logic and reason from an ultra creative self. And I am quite confident that you have a considerable amount of insight into this that you’d like to share.

- Darryl Anka - Bashar talks about paradox all the time. In fact, he calls paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things. They have to be coming from you. And therefore, positions you squarely at the center, squarely at the balance point. Which is your point of power.

- Freeman Michaels - @ 2:15 - That was so good and you did it in one sentence.... So the dimensional perspective as being empowering because in my life I was very attached to an either/or paradigm. What you are suggesting is both/and, it’s multitude of different ways to be look at and all be held simultaneously.

- Darryl Anka - Yes, Bashar says, “It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen that those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

- Freeman Michaels - And they’re just possibilities.
- Darryl Anka - And they’re just choices.
- Barnet Bain - They are choices. It’s a frequency game. They are choices, that are disparate ? choices apparently when we experience them as such. But when we begin to play that energy game, when we begin to become “frequency alchemists”, we begin to mix these they become not confused but co-fused. And they lift to a higher harmony and complexities.
- Barnet Bain continued - @3:40 - We talked about beauty as being a frequency. Or they are really harmonic frequencies. Beauty. Think exhilaration plus serenity, experienced simultaneously is Beauty.
- Barnet Bain continued - As we increasingly expand consciousness, as we become more and more attuned to the resonance of paradox. So what are we waiting for? What do you think might be in store if we begin to cultivate paradox consciously with intention? All new capacities.

- Darryl Anka - We’ll become conscious creators instead of unconscious ones. We start to realize that within every question and answer is there. And as Bashars says all we have to do is take that little bent question mark and straighten it out into an exclamation point. So when we realize that we wouldn’t even be able to ask the question if something in our consciousness didn’t understand the answer already. The question would never occur to us if the answer wasn’t already there. We become more clear. We become more transparent. We become more of who we were actually created to be.

- Freeman Michaels - And we stop waiting for something outside of us to happen. This incessant fixation on the collective. How everyone has to change.
- Barnet Bain - We begin to become players. Conscious players. It is a very, very different game when we begin to generate reality not out of a reaction to causes, but out of generating causes and then waiting to see the effects. Or, or generating effects rather and waiting to see the causes. It’s no longer a cause that leads to an effect reality. It’s an effect reality that leads to causes.

- Darryl Anka - Or everything is viewed simultaneously.
- Barnet Bain - Yes, everything is viewed simultaneously, but as a leading edge of our reality creation. The virgin frontier of exploration is not at the level of impact causation of pushing around the furniture. It is at the level of generating something mystically, wonderfully, co-creatively, magically and our hand in it is this blending of frequencies. Which can only happen when we’ve looked within and dealt sufficiently, not perfectly with all the matrixes of all the limiting belief systems.

- Darryl Anka - Yeah, it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.

- Freeman Michaels - So I have a perspective on this. Did you pick up the gallon of milk for your wife? The part about this that’s so interesting because we referred to the reservation that the physical reality, the way that we are playing out this incredible metaphysical perception that we are talking about that on one hand and on the other hand we’ve got to pick up the milk on the way home. And we have to navigate this whole incredible.. Oh, how do we describe this incredible cosmic play?
- Barnet Bain - We live in the world but not of it has been said by ...

- Darryl Anka - But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically and you live in the moment with that, as Bashar often says, “It’s not that you have to have a memory in the way we think we do. It’s that simply...you know...what you need to know...when you need to know it. You have instantaneously to information and data when you need it. It’s not something that you have to RE-member.

- Freeman Michaels - And there’s this element of choice with this perspective. When something arrives in this physical reality there’s instead on one way of defining it, good or bad, or two ways, I should say. There’s infinite. And the element of consciousness allows us to choose from a much larger ...

- Darryl Anka - One of my favorite sayings that Bashar has is that, “If there is only one way, there would be only one person. Look around.”

- Freeman Michaels - And the element that you started with, the idea of meaning. Do I want to make this meaning? For what meaning do I want to apply.
- Barnet Bain - We alway make it meaningful. Are we lit enough and patient enough to look below the surfaces of the things, to discern the meaning that we are giving it and then to decide whether and if they are in alignment with our choices.

- Darryl Anka - But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?

- Freeman Michaels - ... (programed story) ...What happens to it, energetically, it’s gone.

- Darryl Anka - @9:50 - Bashar recently did a seminar on the ideas on how story structure is embedded in our consciousness. And it’s really about the idea of what story we are telling ourselves. And do we want to tell ourselves a different story? And that will change everything.
- Barnet Bain - Say more.

- Darryl Anka - Well, the idea a long time when you deal with story structure a people have thought that well there are archetypes in story structure. Bashar is saying like when you talk about a particular movie or any kind of a book or story, there are archetypes. Or a love story. There are archetypes within it. Bashar is saying the story structure... itself... is an archetype. And when you tell a story that resonates, and hits all the right cords, that archetypal structure... that’s when the information sticks. That’s WHY when we tell stories, we remember the information. It’s following archetypical structure that’s built into our consciousness. And when you hit those points, you can’t possibly forget it cuz it hits all the right cords. So tell yourself the story that hits all those points, in exactly the right way, in exactly the right vibration... for you... and that’s who you actually are. And that’s your true story, your true frequency.

- Freeman Michaels - Let’s talk for a minute about parallel realities.
- Darryl Anka - I love parallel realities.
- Freeman Michaels - Yeah, so as I relate to something differently, I quite literally am in a different experience. Or something of that nature. Is that how you would describe parallel realities?

- Darryl Anka - Yes, although, I’ll go further with it. Bashar has talked a lot about parallel realities lately. And one of the things he’s actually said is, whether we know it or not we are actually shifting through literally billions of parallel realities... per second. In fact that’s what time is. The illusion, the side effect we call time, is our consciousness shifting billions of times a second from static parallel reality to static parallel reality. That creates the illusion of movement and of time. And so if you understand that you are shifting billions of times a second, you’re always at a zero point. You can always redefine yourself. It’s a sequence of parallel realities that we are calling a parallel reality. So it’s a direction of parallel realities. But they all exist at the same time. You can choose any path through them and if you know that you can do that every single moment, then whatever you define yourself to be at that moment, is the sequence of parallel realities that you set up for yourself.

- Barnet Bain - And then we create a context for ourselves, per where we are developmentally. We contexualize it in a story. So the present, the past and the future, we streams these beads of experience in a straight line like pearls in a necklace and we call that our story, our past, our present, our future.
- Barnet Bain continued - Many, many years ago, now, Bashar said something to me that was like tossing a grenade into my consciousness. He said a lot of years ago, the present in NOT the result of the past. That was a seismic piece of information. And it’s very germane to what we are talking about right now. It is also, that the present is not...it is more of the result of the futures that we are choosing for ourselves, set against the back drop of the stories we tell ourselves about the past. Now generally, we been going around married to these stories, and dragging our conditions self, conditioned by our experiences that we call the past. Throwing that into the future, and creating these vibrations of self-fulfilling prophecy. The present is NOT the result of the past.

- Darryl Anka - Yes. Every moment is unique. Every moment is new. Every moment is zero.

- Barnet Bain - And parallel realities, multi-D realities, and future realities there is only NOW. Their all...it’s a frequency game.

- Darryl Anka - Yeah. As Barshar says, “What we think as think as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“

Oh yeah WF! The very first time I saw this Bill Hicks routine I immediately liked it, but didn't really understand it. Now I understand it to boot! How bout THEM apples?

I'm also with you on the if you hurt someone else, you hurt yourself thing. I wasn't going to go there in the OP for the sake of simplicity, but yes of course, cliche and second hand as it has become, we are all truly One. Not coincidentally, this goes hand in hand with All Is Well.

I posted this on the COBRA-Uranus square Pluto thread
and thought I might share it here as well.
It is about souls.


I think that souls and energy are closely related.
And this energy is like a commodity...there is only so much available here on earth.

And even though it cannot be destroyed, it can be housed, in us, in our 3D vehicles.

And during our short lives here on this world it can be transferred from one person to another,
depending one's thought and actions.

The creator stays out of the way, letting the system have it's way, due to free will.

But the moment someone has a change of heart, or an awakening,
many helpers will come to their assistance,
With the soulless trying to drag them back to their own ranks...
using all kinds of deception and lures.

Anyway, I'm not saying this because I was indoctrinated, but because I have seen it's workings.

Meanwhile I'm hoping the next few weeks won't be as bad as my fears would have me believe.
We will just brace ourselves and trust the Creator's ability to supervise everything according to the higher plans.
Which are for the best, in my view.
All is well.

I have a strong feeling there is 'new' light around the corner next month of which we have never before experienced here on Mother Earth...it will add a dimension of twist in the now and tweak Us into 'uncharted' Higher Changes : )

EagleSpirit I'm Totally Digging Your Energys as of late bro. Wanishi You are a Comet, and dont mind me riding on your coattails through the Galaxy. I agree, Something wonderful's gonna happen.

Feeling intense energies, spiraling higher and higher into...circles of light...reminded me of this song by Walela.

I'm not right
you're not wrong
We both know what this love
of ours is build upon
We are shadows
tiny sparrows
safe inside
clear blue sky
of another storm
moving in and out of time
In and out of the circle of light.

We are children of the angels
Keepers of the fire
We are children of the angels
Reaching for the light
We are not strangers
we are all brothers
I know we came here to love each other
Here, in the circle of light.

Each one thinks he
has the answer
Each one believes that he can see
the way, the only way
truth lies waiting
was always waiting
like a love
peaceful dove
right there inside your soul
from another place and time
Moving into the circle of light.

Here is a recent video from NextWorldTV.
It is about Senior Communities.
Life style like a college campus. Why should only the young ones have all the fun, while older people are condemned to isolation?

This looks serious.
Lets not forget about those wildfires in Colorado.
We can make rain.
Let's.

People are freaking out because they think the MSM is not covering this enough.

We have to visualize cloud formations and rain NOW.

I have a request for help. The first one is help with detoxing my body of mercury and other things that are in a Tdap shot. I was told it is close to the tetanus shot. So for this I had my Dad's horse statue fall on me tonight and received a puncture wound from it. I don't know any naturalpathic remedy's for Tetanus off the top of my head so I went and got the shot and if it contained mercury, I would deal with that using detox (which it does). I am asking for healing and/or advice on detox.

I wasn't horsing around with the statue, we were actually moving it from the house out to the driveway and with the statue being about 12-15 feet tall as a rearing horse constructed with rusted metal it was a bit top heavy and it fell over. My advice for everyone is if a horse statue is falling nearby, don't try to save it, just let it fall gracefully to the ground.

The second request for help is for helping me clear out my old patterns relating to me thinking I'm not good enough as well as rejection. With the payoff being looking for sympathy and testing to see if either or both are still there. As I write this post, I am trying to stay in a balanced place and I'm not looking for sympathy. Sometime I just feel like I need a boost and for whatever reason I don't feel like I have enough energy to get myself through it. I recently have been thinking of asking a woman out and when I started to think heavily on the process itself, it raised all my old patterns. I have a much greater awareness of them, just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. My request for help is advice and/or healing.

By the way, this is difficult for me asking for help as I've wanted to delete this post about 4 times now in the process of writing it. I thank my defense mechanisms/old patterns for being there, I honor you and I ask for you to choose a different path.

Side note: As I write this, I am grateful for awareness as I see my patterns going off all over the place. Frustrated/annoyed to an extent and yet grateful for the awareness. I know I am shifting, though sometimes I just want it all now, ie goal at the end of the journey, rather than, oh look its actually the journey itself.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate you. Be well.

Saw anothr UFO today. Looked like a plane in the sky.

A few problems.

1)no sound

2) too close for it's size, or too big if far away (tied to point #1, far too large to be silent)

3)moving too slow to stay in the sky.

4)no windows

5)shape was odd
