Here and Now...What's Happening?

"A Recipes for a Confusion Stew"

Unfinished objectives: to overlay I AM + I am experiencer + moving into new Mother Earth + dimensions + +

Unfinished ideas:
Reconcile the 3D, organic, carbon based individual experiencer that lives the day-to-day is awakening to a part of everything all moving as one holographic Whole, ie., 4D, crystaline based DNA into 5D, energenic essence body of I Am experiencing. Blah, blah, blah. Ultimately it’s Allness/Absolute without driven in form of problem, action, solution, but just Silence, Grace of All...Blah, blah, blah...

I mean no disrespect. It's frustrating. I've dropped out of the world. I've spent years in study. More hours in study than I'd want to admit. I am more confused than when I walked out the door of my classroom in 2004. Where is was a safe, comfy salary and secure job. But, I'd do it all over again, just in a balanced way.

3D = material, mind, ego, self
4D = less material, awareness of Higher Self perception more than physical
5D =

Realization: for now, trash it all and be okay with ‘I am what I am’, that is 'I AMing'.

Note to self from Self - Give yourself permission to revisit or chuck it. Go play.

UPDATE: Ah, ha moment... Why am I trying to make sense of and dovetail illusionary concepts?

Ulli, please stay safe!

As for the idea of sharing a space with world travelers, I used to live in Southern California, right next to the longest pier on the West coast. One day, I met a couple of guys with backpacks and "foreign accents." (I don't really remember, maybe Croatia or Romania?) After maybe a half hour of conversation, my girlfriend and I invited them to stay with us. They were amazed, but accepted. And we had a few lovely days of hosting them, allowing them to explore the area using our place as base camp - and they expanded our horizons. Not the same as the video on Air B&B, because it was not for money, but it was my one experience of sharing that the video reminded me of.

Third wave of the internet: connecting together off-line. For the past 5 (or 6?) years, as many stringed musical instrument makers as possible - who all met on an on-line guitar maker's forum - get together in the woods in northern Minnesota. We call it "Stringfest." We have had a couple of Canadians, and US citizens come in from as far as Arizona, Washington, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Vermont (and closer States.) I hope sometime to meet with some of the folks from Avalon in person too. It's an obvious statement, but it is amazing how much more fun it is to meet face-to-face and eye-to-eye than words typed into a computer.

A nice tune written and performed by one of the Stringfest regulars. The guitar I built and call "Angelina" is mentioned in the song. I mention this so that when you hear, "Dennis, won't you pass me Angelina" you won't think it's a orgy. :~)

Your picture just gave me an idea, WCBD, since I have been looking at various satellite pictures of circles like that.
At this moment a lot of people here in Barbados are becoming increasingly nervous
about that circular cloud which has been forming to the east of us and is approaching us in a straight line.
By the time it reaches us it may well be a major hurricane.

So I was wondering if you could use your program to make lots of tiny circles, all breaking away from the big one,
and make the whole system move towards the top of the page, in other words, towards the north.... the mid Atlantic, where it will do less harm.
Please, please??

Not sure what everyone has been doing but it's becoming a birdie now.
That beak is a bit strange but the body reminds me of a hummingbird.

Thanks again Tom

Our Village has had 500,699 views.
Soon we will attract corporate advertisers.
Just kidding.

Love your sunshine picture WCBD,
but find those clouds still a bit big,
and some are too close to land.
Gosh, this makes me sound so picky....

[ulli]

Dennis, that is such a sweet song.
I'm sure the guitar makers show is a strange mix,
but what if the Avalonians one day had a meeting in Minnesota....
Quite a few own guitars, and as far as strange mix goes
there may be competition.

There ya go!

'To learn as children?', you ask? I say yes, likely so...for the given occupant has a clear head, and then the child's impudent impetus would be tamed and calmed at the point of actual mental formation. Where it should be done, in my estimation. Perhaps I am wrong in that, but it sure would be an interesting outcome, to say the least.

Sasaki Roshi once told me that it is critical to get started early, before the consensus programming gets too embedded. He said that if one tried to take up the path (of awareness) in their twenties, it might be too late for most, since it would almost be impossible to overcome the effects of conditioning by then. I then asked about all the students who were just now starting to practice. He shrugged, and said that most would need 20 years of deprogramming before they were even ready to begin real practice.

For many years, I figured he was probably right, since I encountered little that would seem to argue against that fact. However, in the last decade or so, I have come to question that assessment, recognizing that it too was a product of a certain programming on the part of Roshi himself. In fact, there is no real limitation on what is possible, except that superimposed on ourselves by our own mind.

Each of us can awaken right here and now, with the right application of attention and intention. In fact, there has never been a more favorable time to do so. May all recognize their own inherent brilliance, and make that leap without further delay!

I'm a bit of an extremist, so I just stuck to it until every bit of it that was inside broke down into it's original form. As I said before, even my dog kept looking at me as if I was a stranger, throughout that time period. the breakdown had to be complete and I had to be isolated enough on and in all levels and ways that the old path could not possibly be the way back up again. Operating on your own wiring from inside the wiring is not such a simple task. losing one's place and picking up the wrong flags and waving them is the most common mistake. The internal drowning/dying issue is so severe that few make it past the needed stages, IMO and IME. Even the data pathways for understanding the basics of shape and form get a complete work over, which is the area that causes most people to 'break' and not make it. Their bodies in total panic mode for months on end is not a recipe for continued perseverance. The idea of the basics of thought itself gets torn to shreds in the process. But this last sentence is not really true, it is merely impression - But try to tell that to the body which is dealing with this reformation of the self along the new paradigm. I had to go to the bottom and stay there, and stay until even the slightest capacity to freak out or follow old lines - was gone.

For some sort of physical analogy, imagine being tortured every day,and finally a point is reached where even the flesh cannot respond anymore. Not one shred of anything to hold on to anymore. Everything must be gone.

I'm suspecting that this is the sort of issue he is speaking of. That the problem is something akin to being that deep. To go that far down to find it.

Not everyone has to go that far, though. Some have had an easier bit of programming to navigate... but be it known, the level of stubbornness and beguiling cleverness of the programming will not be any different.

The implications inherent in true Awakening can be daunting, and in the initial glimmers of light, many realize just why they chose to remain asleep. LOL! Moreover, the ego-mind loves the idea of being Awake, and can easily co-opt even profound experiences and turn them into another way to confirm its dreamy existence and sport a new and shinier self-image, impervious now to real inquiry.

There are many such traps along the way, which is why it is often recommended that the aspirant develop a relationship with a qualified guide, someone who has already passed that way and is aware of the side roads and dead ends. Of course, the real guru is within, as you have clearly discovered, but you are apparently a rare one, and Thank You for your efforts, which benefit many!

Yes, not everyone has the same mountain to scale -- some are here to just tidy up a few odds and ends, and for them, it's just a hop, skip, and jump. Others have to bang their heads senseless against a wall, and still get nowhere. Of course, that's usually the result of beliving that there is somewhere to go that is different than where they already are. I'd laugh, except it's painful to splatter one's brains all over the carpet, only to find that it only results in a messy carpet.

We read testimonials in the traditional literature about some guy sweeping the courtyard, and upon hearing a pebble hit the wall, suddenly awakens. Why, that certainly sounds easy enough! Few are aware how many lifetimes of concerted effort and failure led to that one moment of breakthrough.

It just broke up. Amazing!!

[Flash]

Oh dear (Winnie the Pooh tone of voice), Carmody and AnotherBob, it seems has if most of us will never reach the target, for either lack of stubborness or lack of many many lifes. So I'll accept my reincarnation faith.... ah!

So why try - and here is program number one working on me. lol

Sincerely, it does appears like this at times, numerous ones.

Well, I think it is time to go for a good night sleep... better mood tomorrow.

This exchange reminds me of something that has been on my mind these past few weeks. A lot of peoples health suffers in later years - just when the real possibility for years long study, experience and awakening could bears fruit.

TPTB by influencing the styles of food and medicine have effectively neutered the potential resistance from a large number of wise old people by ensuring they are not healthy and either die early or sit and rot in institutional departure lounges.

I look at some of my older relatives - they had/have learned so much now, they wer/are extremely wise, they were/are no longer angry, impetuous, foolish people. They could have been the tool to shut TPTB down - but they could not be. Many of them are starting to see how they have been sold down the river, but they are too sick and crippled by years of too much sugar, beer, wine, crap tobacco, blood pressure medicine, vaccines, pollution, vitamin deficiency, drug dependency etc etc etc to do much about it.

If we could get all these old folk to eat raw food - re-activate, re-invigorate, then they would be like the zombie apocalypse for TPTB - Granny power on the march !

But TPTB have even thought of that. They turned the minds of western children away from responsibility for the oldies - so even as they look after themselves better, they fail to change the old ones, because well you cant teach an old dog new tricks can you.

Devious.
