This is the only type of bullfight one sees in Costa Rica, and even then only during a two week period once every year.
Non professionals, mostly kids, and there are many injuries, even fatalities.
Still, what's the difference....
The bulls end up getting slaughtered anyway, and eaten...just not in public view.
My bet is on a vegetarian future...in less than a hundred years from now.
The current excesses of meat consumption will suddenly lead to a flip flop...then no more.
No more cattle, no more bull rings.
Instead there will be pet circuses with dancing kittens jumping over charging puppies.

The next few days Mars will form that dreaded T square with Pluto and Uranus.
May everyone get through ok, with no major mishaps, except for those who deserve to be taken down a few pegs.
It may be a close call....

Hi Ulli,

Could you tell me more about this?

We are going to my brothers wedding on Saturday ( lots of tense and volatile familly relationships ). And then on Sunday we are travelling across europe by train ( with 2 small kids ). I need all the help I can get to stay peaceful and balanced.

Oh shoot, and there was I posting a picture of a train....what can I say?
(say no more?)
seriously now...with those wedding plans and train journey you won't need any major mishaps.
All will go according to plan, but those two events combined are already Plutonic, Martian, and Uranian.

The odds that this will turn really dangerous are very low,
but higher in case of someone who is fast asleep.
Spirituality helps, and not only those who practice prayer and meditation
but also those in their immediate environment so your serenity can protect your children.

All three planets are associated with intensity. Mars energy is action, as opposed to passivity.
So adventure is part of the deal. Great.

Uranus is associated with the sudden, the unexpected; which is another not uncommon factor that one might expect with weddings, or even train journeys during holiday season.

Pluto is associated with profound inner transformation. Also the planet of destiny,
Pluto can show us how we are powerless mortals, but once we have passed through a Pluto transit
some of us come out the other end, purified and fully aware of our eternal selves, as well as the discovery that we are powerful beings after all.

This period is tougher on people who are born at the end of December, March, June, or September...the most vulnerable dates are the 29th of those four months.

In my case, Pluto was square my natal sun in 1980, the first year I was applying my newfound astrology knowledge...seeing clients, (far too soon, but you gotta start somewhere, right?)
That square lasted nearly two years, with Pluto moving retrograde, then forward again.

It brought me the birth of my son, the death of my father, the end of my business, the beginning of my work as an astrologer, the discovery of the Gurdjieff teachings and finally the move to the Caribbean island of Barbados, which is heaven on earth, or hell on earth, depends how one looks at it.

Personal responsibility is the answer. Spirituality is the answer. Dropping self indulgence is the answer. Non interference with high alertness is the answer.

Man is a learning machine.

So to sum it up...The help you now seek may not be available, unless you are prepared to cancel your trip.
Although I can assure you: your train won't crash.
But it might be a hot and uncomfortable ride. European trains are notorious for A/C failures.
The July season in Europe is very crowded.
The kids will get hyper one minute and bored the next. You will have your hands full.

Here in Barbados we are getting an influx of the rich and famous, who are bringing their friends to stay with them as house guests in their massive mansions, all as an act of escape from London and the Olympics.
Any one of these people would never dream of plunging into holiday season in Europe...not for millions of dollars.
Yet they did it when they were kids, and their parents made the sacrifice to give them the experience.
All will be well, Swan.

The Villagers will also protect you throughout all of this, thanks to you bringing it to our attention.
But please do give feedback once you are safely back from the trip.

Hello Villagers...Love to You All in the Here and Now!

Helping a Friend out on His Farm where I had taken a multitude of Sunset Meditations from 2007 on...
Kenny opened up the Hill to me...
"Do whatever you want up here, Dan!", is what He said on a cold January morn from His back door : )

I will be doing that work(2 car garage) for Family here too...details of schedule coming through meeting this week.

I will catch up more later with You All,

....and it is no longer

"May the road rise to meet you"
---but---
..."The higher road IS rising to meet Us, Here and Now, All around Mother Earth!"

[Swan]

Thank you Ulli for that amazing clarification!

Funilly enough, I was the one insisting we go by train. Just couldn´t bring myself to take the kids on a plane, with the possibility of solar flares. The train ticket to the south of France cost almost 3 times the air fare...so convincing my partner was not easy.

"end of september and march": well that would be me and my mother. Great.

This weekend will test my new found ability to remain heart centered.

And i will make sure I can access avalon during our 2 weeks in France.

A hypothetical conclusion that I came to a while back, is that a given science cannot be allowed to go public, unless it has been discovered or revealed by a fully incarnated and unguided person. a person who has had no outside help. If that science is then revealed, then humanity can take advantage of it, can move into it. I have experimented and then had to find a hypothesis to fit the observations.

I agree 100%. And still there are different levels within the various stages of revelation.
Just as the word "public" doesn't mean "everybody", nor even everybody who has plenty of money to spend.

Many people who could afford certain hi-tech gadgets never even learn of their existence during their life time.

Because each life is so different, and each person brings to themselves only that which they wanted and needed with their whole being, and even then only after having brought their inner saboteur under control.
The universe responds to ALL requests. What people are often not aware of is that within just days they change their minds about their earlier requests, having found something else to ask for. Or never asking for anything at all, but only complaining about what is there.
Once this is understood, and then applied, anything is possible, including free energy. For the "public" stuff to appear in reality... Yes, step one is what you described.
Such a scientist is then guiding in the first wave.
Or was it the public that manifested the scientist, who then channeled their collective desires into existence?

Great.
But even if you can't access Avalon, we here will think of you,
as we are all connected by thoughts and feelings...Internet or not.

First I thought you meant the train driver...hope he/she stays awake..

I'm re- posting Tom as we are now hitting much of what he was talking about last week.

And i realised that this weekend just gone was EXACTLY what he said it would be,
mars, mars, mars...

In case you were wondering if the week of July 11th - July 17th, the high frequency waves were all in your head the answer is “yes & no”, depending on the definition of “in”.

Good Morning,

I read a while back that in the whole scope of life, there is a world of matter and mass and a world of matterless mass. Thoughts have mass but no matter. I'm supposing energy would also have mass but no matter since it has proven measurable upon occasion. If my mind contained infinite space, it would be logical to assume that energy and thoughts could co-exist in any measure. It seems, though, my mind has only finite space. I have an hypothesis. I think my headaches are from thinking too much, which might take up the whole space and not leave any space for an influx of energy. If that is the case, I have several choices. One, stop the thoughts and allow the influx of energy. Two, allow the thoughts and block the energy (which possibly leads to headaches, which is NOT a good option). Three, give my mind freedom to think thoughts of lesser mass, allowing more space for the influx of energy, thereby allowing both.

Two is not an option, leaving one and three. I suppose in the world of possibilities I could add a fourth choice to stop both, but I don't see that as possible for me personally. So, one or three.

For option three...I wonder...could slowing down the thoughts create space? If each thought has equal mass, and the thoughts are slowed down, then in a given amount of time, speaking in linear terms here, the thoughts would necessarily take up less space, allowing for more energy to flow. Or, maybe it is possible that certain thoughts carry more mass than others? Here the challenge would be to either slow down my thoughts or keep my mind busy thinking things that do not block energy.

Well, now, that's a helluva way to wake up, isn't it?

Much Love,

Message in two parts. Part one - the bit that's probably fun, part two may have you reaching for the TL;DR style response

Interesting chain of synchronicity

Last week, Thursday, I went with a friend from work to have some lunch and a catchup, on the way back we notice a new sign on the side of a tall building that may well have been there a few months but it was the first time we noticed it. It is the name of a large financial institution that are both competitors of where I work but with whom we have to liaise because some of our clients use them. We mused that they have not long moved to that location and we were wondering what their offices must be like in comparison with the slave pits we were returning too

On Friday I got a call that ended up with me needing to go and visit someone there and help them with something!

Today was the day I went there, and it is very nice inside - LOL - much nicer than where I work.

While I am there I catch sight of someone who I worked with a year or so ago, a follow wanderer on the path, and who as it happens I also shared some healing tips with when she had twisted her ankle badly and ended up on crutches. We got her fixed in very quick time once she had understood the lesson offered to her. (Which was ... slow down!)

What is even stranger, is that this person is also a friend of my other friend who I take also to be a wanderer on the path, and was the subject of this post on this very thread https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...l=1#post515035 and I because I knew they were friends I had recommended they compare notes.

And what do you know, as I was leaving there was an opportunity for a quick catch up and we started talking about that and the common elements of the accidents and how things were going etc.

Awesomeness

Also earlier today I was in a deep mode and wrote a post that was too complicated and I am going to rewrite it in a few days. I'm going to put it here as a copy.

Evil?

(copy of here)

Posted by K626
For a very long time the unknown and the darkness and things beyond our ken was called evil. It was just that we didn't understand it's workings or its purpose. Our own mythology is full of it.

Thanks,

I expect that we can all understand this to some extent, but how many have been able to more fully penetrate the deception that was layered on top of an already functioning illusion - one that we forgot that WE created? My God how sophisticated it is and here we are, tearing through it nonetheless!

Based on what I see and know, which is *my* delusion at this current point in time, I see that evil is just the operation of freewill and intention but simply one that is motivated in a way that is not wholly aligned with the one that I have decided is the correct course for me, namely that of loving others a little (but not that much) more than myself.

I suggest that "awakening" is the degree that you consciously understand that you are powerful and that you have free choice. I think it is also the degree to which you see, discern and categorize motives (of yourself and otherselves); also hand in hand with all that, the level of responsibility that you consciously/mindfully assume when deciding what to do or not to do.

At the point where you basically realize that choice is freewill, for good or evil, and you can see that this was all a scenario in which you get to experience a complex context in which you can make the biggest choice of all: do I love others more somewhat more than myself, or do I love myself to the almost complete exclusion of others then you are pretty wide awake.

I made mine, as it turns out, I made it a long time ago!

I have found that after this "awakening" fear drops away. Separation drops away. No longer do you have to fall for the tricks to the same degree you did before, you can decide yes or no, and what to do or not to do.

Such an awakened entity is knowingly sovereign. It can stand its ground in full self authority and say YEA or NAY as it sees fit - and if it turns out it has been deceived it will take full and conscious reckoning of that and accept responsibility, it will forgive itself and the deceiver and move onwards having learned a lesson.

Such an entity can love an evil entity and respect what it is and why it is motivated the way it is, and furthermore know that it can only obtain from itself, that which it gives to the evil entity.

The maxim "Let he who would be deceived be deceived" is just another way for looking at freewill on this scale.

If I were an evil man, the world right now remains a target rich environment for me to do what I want to do to help myself become empowered at the expense of others.

If I were a good man, the world right now remains a target rich environment for me to help myself and others expand in love for others.

It will not always be this way because the cycle we are in is ending, but as it does so the intensity is expected to increase. The river flows faster. The "dangers" and the speed of cause and effect quickens.

Observe this game of freewill and motive. Once you understand your eternal nature and the nature of your incarnation and attachments - the "importance" of certain "game elements" of what is going on sub sides and one can be about doing what ones true nature has chosen to do. Mostly chopping wood and carrying water - as before in our own ways.


---

And as I have seen today "and the speed of cause and effect quickens." - it does, and I wrote the above post before I went for that meeting and saw how everything had fitted together.

And it makes me laugh to be honest!

Life is good.

Love to you all!

[1inMany]

Oh, dear! Is it possible?

I dread mowing this big "yard"...every week I dread it, and that means I don't do it on a regular once a week schedule. It's covered with rather ugly grass, if it is even grass. Everybody around here has the same stuff...mow it, and what do you know it springs back up to tall in a day or two. And I really do not tolerate heat very well...and, well, it's a dirty job. And I mean...dirty! It isn't full and lush, it's sort of patchy, so mowing over patches means I'm covered with dried Texas clay from head to boot when I'm done.

Um...and for month or 6 weeks, no joke, when I overcome the dread and just accept that it has to be done, the left front tire is flat on the mower. So, hubby has taken the tire to be fixed, put back on the rim, used fixaflat...you name it.

Well, this morning I overcame the dread and decided to check the tire before I get all decked out in my ballgown for this party. The left front tire is fine The right front is flat.

Go figure.

I have to overcome this dread and learn to love the mower...love the grass-like substance...love the dirt and sweat and red clay stains...or else the poor mower will not survive!

Much Love,

Sword, Shield, Armor = Spirit, Knowledge, Power/Wisdom

Of late, I’m intentionally not communicating with guides because I’m processing thoughts about outside guidance vs. inner awareness. Partly because of all the hype about some Angels may not be what I was brought up to believe. So for now, they hang with me while I do my thing.

For now, I'm looking at this experience as a metaphor:

Twice last week a huge Angel appeared in the third eye vision. I took notice because his energy vibration was like the same one(s) that came in my classroom and later in the car, when my son, Michael died. For two brief visits, he said, “It was almost time”. I acknowledge his message, but said I needed to process.

Yesterday, he join me on my walk and when he got my okay for communication, a full body template was dropped over this body template. It was complete with a huge set of wings. Today’s walk, I was presented with a sword, shield, and armor; and the message that, “The time is almost here”.

While this is going on I’ve got three seagulls watching and following from a safe distance. I’m asking them, “If they can see this please give me a sign.” “Spread your wings would be helpful sign.” No help.

About five minutes later a van passes me in the parking lot and then it comes back a minute later. A guy parks bit of a distance away with his friends respectfully quiet. He walks over and asks if I’m single and gives me his phone number and email address. I share this part because I can count the times I’ve been asked out. (no subliminal message, just the urgency to share this entire metaphor experience)

What this represents is the confirmation that the sword, shield and armor are real. The metaphor for these tools is as follows: Sword of Truth, Shield of Knowledge, and Armor of Spirit is the wisdom to use these tools appropriately.

Here’s my take. Like most of you are feeling, I too, say change is nearing the crest. My plan is to accept and welcome it here. Let Truth, Knowledge, and Spirit be my wingmen and stay open to what shows Itself. I only know that I land on my feet. And the results have always been greater than lesser. Though in any particular moment of duality's labels, it may not have felt that way.

I feel vulnerable to have this post so public. I’m reminded that there’s a larger reason why were are All here. I’m still figuring that out, but promised myself to take actions step rather than drowning in reflection and contemplation of woulda, coulda, shoulda. Lastly, the crest or future that I experience is Beauty and Love, so I acknowledge and walk beyond any residual or hidden fear.

With heart,
WhiteCrowBlackDeer

Three hours of mowing. I was trying so, so hard to enjoy the experience. I think the neighbors and passersby must chuckle when I mow, I know I do. I added my fancy-pants fishing hat to my ballgown today. Quite the fashion statement I was. Not to mention I got into my own little world with my earbuds...cranked up the music and sang as loud as I wanted. I realized what a weird selection of music I have. I realized the moles had probably won whatever war they waged on the previous owner... as I bounced completely off the seat on several occasions. I realized that if you hit the metal poles holding the barbed wire in place, the hood will pop. I haven't gotten to the back yet, which is probably an acre and a half. But that's it for today.

Then I decided. If I cannot get to the earth to become more grounded, the earth will come to me. The head to toe earth became a mud bath as I constantly poured water over my head to stay cool. I enjoyed that mud bath for as long as it took me to drink the coldest, most refreshing glass of iced tea I have ever had. Ahhhhh.

I don't think this qualifies as "loving" the mowing experience, but it will have to do. It's the best I can come up with. I think I would rather dig a hole in the yard and fill it with water to make mud, then sit in it for awhile as a grounding exercise...

Oh, and I had to bury a bird today I don't know how to do this sort of thing...I heard Modwiz echo in my head that intention counts. So, I stumbled and stammered through the best I could, saying something like, "I am committing this bird back to the earth where he/she came from. He/she was perfect just the way she was. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you. So it is." And I added, "may he find peace." Phew. It was sort of complicated. This was one of the dive-bomb birds that yap at the dogs irritatingly. Apparently it had gotten a little close on its approach, and Mama ... um ... got it. I figured it's just the circle of life. But, I did try to do right by the bird. After all, it is as much I Am as I am.

Much Love,

I hope you're saving these entertaining stories, 1inMany! You'll want to be ready for a quick turn over of the first book in the series. Laughter: 100% natural, and heart healthy. People will flock to your medicine. Just saying'.

P.S. Then ya can hire a grounds keeper.

And once again...synchronicity!!!
So, the day after, still full from my new experiences I founded out, I wanted to write this all down. The next question came up to me, because two different people pointed me out on this same subject: That what comes and goes, isn't the reality. But that what rests, that's interesting. But what is it?
This question crossed and was connected to the other one before. So it has/had to be important. (thanks to @Jenci)

Yes synchroncities do happen. I would expect even more if I was you

laperle...when I read your last post, the book "Three Magic Words" by Uell S. Anderson came to mind.

An excerpt from the book taken from page 11....

Today, with this first chapter, we ask you to begin to undo the Lock. We ask you to eradicate from your mind all notion of yourself that has to do with where you live, where you were born, what you have done, and what your circumstances have been. We ask you to concentrate on only one thing and that is the spirit within you.

This real you, this conscious hidden intelligence that exists behind your eyes, is
timeless, formless, and built from all the glory and magnificence that ever was. It is
not a name or a job or a home; indeed it has nothing to do with circumstance or
situation. The plain fact is that you exist. Dwell on that, nothing more.

I am.

Two more magnificent words were never put together. I am. This minute. This now.
All the time that ever was.

Thanks belle.
That's indeed the process of my changing focus and my experiences.
Your quote makes me curious, so I'll look this all up.
Thanks to the internet, this answer won't be out of reach for me.
So I think (t)his book can give me an idea about the way he looks (or looked) at this type of experiences or about the way he writes/speaks about it.
Thanks again!

[laperle]

You make me more curious about the future @jenci than I already was
I think I'm gonna love it even more.
