    Well, the three days of hard work did not pay off.
    The buyer had an appointment to see the collection at 5pm,
    but neither showed up, nor called.


    I should perhaps consider a different occupation.

    So what do you guys do when you are feeling despondent?
    I find hard physical exercise very helpful.
    I used to find hard physical exercise helpful, now I find helpful physical exercise hard. But seriously - full endorsement - blocked energies are well released via this method.
    Well if running about, or chopping wood is not your thing...

    If you have a willing partner handy, then sex will work just as well.

    A bit of clarification: Sheila=Mrs. Anchor?
    Sheila is Australian slang http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html

    Sheila : a woman

    Mrs Anchor deserves and gets more than seven seconds

    ... also I am British from England, but I am permanent resident of Australia as of about 5 years ago.
    Mrs. Anchor agrees...

    Ulli, that was rude for the person not to show. S/he doesn't deserve your work. I'm seeing that in 2-3 days, things will turn in a whole new direction. (Love to hear when that happens.)

    Quote I should perhaps consider a different occupation.
    My two cents: "If it's your passion and you find joy in it, then don't let one jerk-o-la zap your energy."

    I'd love to see pictures of your work.

    Good morning village,

    I'm heading out to work soon. Breakfast is pineapple-celery juice made fresh in the juice extractor.

    I have a feeling of anticipation, that something important is just coming to us. Now and again I have to take a big inhale of breath, as if my body is mirroring the waiting with bated breath.

    Emily is still with me. She is my lesson from the universe, that the things I want/need will find their way to me, even when there seems no possible way for it to happen.

    Love,
    Marianne

    Quote Posted by Rahkyt (here)
    I have been noticing almost exactly this same thing, sans hummingbirds. The dragonflies circle us when we're out in nature, the butterflies dip around us and lead us, the sunlight has such a clarity, the peace is pervasive and fills not only the outer world but the inner as well, at least for me and Sira ... and you too, apparently! It's almost like an enveloping cloak, in my interactions with others still in 'the world', everything seems to have an almost hidden significance, as if things that are being said are only the most surface of meanings, as if each conversation is delving into the deepest aspects of what is true and real. Eye contact or not seems to declare people's intentions, body language is a scream or shout these days, even more direct than words.

    What amazing days these are.

    I wonder what other signs there are that folks have recognized?


    This month has staggered the senses in this regard.

    I am having real trouble explaining what I am experiencing. I like the way you did it here.

    It's like I know the prison[1] door is open, but I elect not to walk through it. The idea does not resonate with the notion that I walked through the door into this prison for a reason. I wanted to experience dense illusion and work with those thought-forms that are and of my other-selves; and we all partake of this giant thought and exploration we are all involved in.

    The thought form of our illusion is pliant. We can move mountains if we want, but the thought form is stabilized by the giant consciousnesses of the logos and the sub-logos and archetypal forms of our "reality" - the sun the planets etc - so moving mountains trickery requires high level co-ordination with the otherness of our illusions. Motive of such purity, then resolves down to not actually moving the mountains, unless absolutely necessary because they are where they are for a reason - we just didn't know.

    Essentially, NOW we are free.

    We always were and maybe didn't even know.

    I am totally loving it.

    I feel like, in the next little while (few years) I am finally getting to do what I came to do!

    I just hope I don't burst open before my time - LOL

    John..

    [1] By prison, I do not mean to invoke any negative connotation. Whereas I may well have meant that a couple of years back, when I was approaching that idea of loss of freedom from a place of fear, I feel I no longer have that fear.
    You said burst. I believe I know exactly what you mean.

    Hi Paula,


    We incarnate on this planet, at this time, in human form so we get to experience all of this. My guess is that it is only the 'human being' which gets to experience such a vast, diverse range of thoughts, emotions and feelings. This is our gift of this lifetime.

    Yes, fear may feel heavier in comparison to another emotion such as joy but it is only our fickle minds which label the feeling as bad and something we wish to avoid and therefore wish for others to avoid.



    Freedom is not about freedom from human feelings, it's about freedom to experience human feelings.

    When we realise that this life is about the experience, we can find extraordinary peace and perfection in the heaviest of fears, anger, despair, sadness, horror, loneliness.....

    I know the feeling. I have not sold anything on my click store for over a week now. It is a bit disappointing, I am thinking of going back to work if possible. Just for the sake of procuring that almighty dollar! As my daughter said at the age of two. "Life is life" She is now 28.

    Leave me alone
    Leave me alone
    Leave me alone
    I'm fine
    I'll be fine until the morning comes
    Then unmask me in the blistering sun

    Oh, let me go
    Just let me go
    Just let me go
    Or I'll
    Burst in front of your eyes
    Then collect myself from the ground

    And when I go
    And when I go
    Just let me go
    Like a light
    Flickering out in the skies
    Lost as fast as was found

    Everything is easy when you've never had to choose
    But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose
    Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom
    I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you

    Lay low
    Don't let me know when it's real
    Will they quietly follow me here?
    Take me as their own?

    Now I will hold you I will keep you
    I'll control my love
    Until it folds in my hands
    But I'll build it back to the top

    Everything is easy when you've never had to choose
    But the balance has shifted and we're forced to lose
    Like the sun and the moon, I will circle you 'til you bloom
    I will crush, I will maul, I will burn until I get to you

    Feel it rain
    We're alive
    Feel it rain

    I don't think I have seen one butterfly this year. I read this article about it yesterday


    Quote Disaster year for butterflies: Wet summer could lead to worst population crash in 36 years


    By TAMARA COHEN
    PUBLISHED: 00:04, 12 July 2012 | UPDATED: 00:04, 12 July 2012


    The wet summer means that butterflies could suffer their worst population crash since the 1976 drought.


    Sir David Attenborough, president of the charity Butterfly Conservation, said Sir David Attenborough, president of the charity Butterfly Conservation said many species had been devastated by the record-breaking wet weather.


    Torrential rain disrupts the butterflies’ breeding season – stopping them flying, mating and laying eggs.

    I have a buddleia plant in my garden. A few years ago in July it was covered in butterflies. The last couple of years, I have only seen a few but this year the plant has flowered but there are no butterflies.

    Anyone that has a healing touch, would you please send help for my head? It will either explode or implode. Or I will dip into the heavy duty pharmaceuticals. And I'm not talking about aspirin. My healing touch isn't doing it.

    Wondering if this is the result of yesterday's X-flare...whatever it is, I am unable to function.

    I have a feeling of anticipation, that something important is just coming to us. Now and again I have to take a big inhale of breath, as if my body is mirroring the waiting with bated breath.
    This sounds pretty important Marianne, perhaps you have sensed this.

    Jeanette: Many flutter-by's have been frequenting us here in The East Coast. I'll consciously send some specimens over to the beautiful butterfly bushes you've displayed. Oh and Good Morning Village!
    Good to hear there are some butterflies around, Whitefeather. Our rainy weather is due to the jet stream which is producing a heatwave elsewhere. I just hope that the butterfly population here can recover.

    Anyone that has a healing touch, would you please send help for my head? It will either explode or implode. Or I will dip into the heavy duty pharmaceuticals. And I'm not talking about aspirin. My healing touch isn't doing it.

    Wondering if this is the result of yesterday's X-flare...whatever it is, I am unable to function.

    Love and Gratitude to all,


    Hi 1inMany


    Have you tried taking your shoes off and going barefoot on the earth/grass?

    I don't think I have seen one butterfly this year. I read this article about it yesterday....I have a buddleia plant in my garden. A few years ago in July it was covered in butterflies. The last couple of years, I have only seen a few but this year the plant has flowered but there are no butterflies.


    Hiya Sister!

    They have been a bit scarce this year, but at sunset last night, this one showed up (perhaps anticipating your concern):

    Quote Posted by Jenci (here)
    We incarnate on this planet, at this time, in human form so we get to experience all of this. My guess is that it is only the 'human being' which gets to experience such a vast, diverse range of thoughts, emotions and feelings. This is our gift of this lifetime.

    Yes, fear may feel heavier in comparison to another emotion such as joy but it is only our fickle minds which label the feeling as bad and something we wish to avoid and therefore wish for others to avoid.



    Freedom is not about freedom from human feelings, it's about freedom to experience human feelings.

    When we realise that this life is about the experience, we can find extraordinary peace and perfection in the heaviest of fears, anger, despair, sadness, horror, loneliness.....

    "In the sutras [Hinayana and Mahayana scriptures] they..call the five passions something to avoid, to reject. Nevertheless, "rejecting" the five passions still implies dualism, a limitation - accepting the positive and rejecting the negative - and this is by no means the way to overcome the dualistic condition. Conversely, the higher tantras [in Vajrayana] understand that poison can be used and transformed into medicine to transmute our impure vision into pure vision...Dzogchen does not stop even at this concept, instead adopting the principles of self-liberation. The transformation of the poisons of the passions into wisdom requires the dualistic consideration of "poison" on one side and "wisdom" on the other. It is as if we were "playing" at transforming something. As the dualism remains, this cannot be the ultimate solution. According to the principle of self-liberation, without necessarily maintaining the dualistic notion of "poison" and "wisdom," the practioner perceives passions and wisdom on a par. Whichever passion arises, the practioner remains in the natural condition, without creating or judging. This is the fundamental point of self-liberation, the final aim of Dzogchen."
