Dennis!! I'm impressed! That was excellent!!

Sorry to have to point this out to you, but this is just the average Dennis.

Wait till he gets going....he will light up the whole western hemisphere, if not the whole galaxy.

Avalon hosts some amazing people.



P.S. would anyone like some of our rain? Got plenty to spare.
Celebrated a bit too soon, I think.

Hey Dennis,

LOL, that was good.

I would add, Modwiz, PL, Carmody, eaglespirit and I'm sure there are many others who aren't detected by radar.

Love

So the storms, crises, and sufferings of life are a way of finding the eye. When everything is going our way, we do not see the eye, and we feel no need to find it. But when everything is going against us, then we find the eye. So the avoidance of suffering and the desire to have everything go our own way runs contrary to the whole movement of our journey; it is all a wrong view. With the right view, however, one should be able to come to the state of oneness in six or seven years - years not merely of suffering, but years of enlightenment, for right suffering is the essence of enlightenment.

This raises the question of what is right suffering. In the context of what she is saying, she suggests not running away from suffering, but to sit with it and stay present to it. Which is the basis of many meditation techniques. Suffering literally means to carry under, or perhaps better expressed as carry within. Allowing the suffering to carry us within to a place of transformation. So its very meaning implies what Bernadette is saying.

Paradoxically most of us are addicted to our suffering. We will give up anything but not what makes us suffer. How many of us like to whinge about the weather, the economy, our sore back, our politicians etc. ? But this is wrong suffering for it is really running away from suffering rather than sitting with it and letting a transformation take effect

I am reminded of G.I Gurdjieff's Being parktdolg duty, which translates as conscious labour and intentional suffering. When bearing intentional suffering a human being can possibly see himself as he really is. A first step

If you don't think this forum has an effect or is not paid attention to, well....understand that the above video had ~1.4 million views, UNTIL it was blocked from viewing, only 6 hours after I listed it here.

This is not the first time this has happened. Not by a long shot.

Think about that for a while.

Agreed. I just grabbed the list of those who "Thanked" Ulli's post, at the time. Your list adds much metaphysical intensity, and no doubt, others were operating in 'stealth' mode.

We have a bit of a problem in that absolute surety can and does lead to failure; that self doubt leads to analysis and self analysis, and success.

Oh, that would explain the alphabetical order of the list.
For a moment there I thought that you had done that out of an exaggerated sense of fairness.

This is what was done with bridges in Montreal, to stop the amount of suicides, it did decrease it from the bridge, but it did not stop the suffering

[Carmody]

I'm usually sandwiched between Rakyht and Ulli ... I like that.

I've been in that lowest of low place, so I understand beyond the pain to the elation phase of the decision to end it all. Here's the 'but', jumping from the bridge on to the highway causes immeasurable pain to those unsuspecting drivers and passengers below. I don't need to go into what the kids would witness or crashes. Oh, man I'll stop. The visual is too painful to continue the conversation.

Having said that, I see I've stated the obvious. It also shows where the state of the world is for many. I'm feeling helpless at the moment, even though I understand karma, personal decisions, greater perspective - those are all just stupid words right now. I just want all the pain and suffering to end.

"Wee bit impatient," she remindes herself.
"Inhale, exhale." "It's just an illusionary game."
"Oh, shut up will ya!"

You are just too loving, aren't you?

Yet, if one were to give the idea of suffering due consideration
and allowed the sufferer to go into it at one end and then come out of it at the other,
and see if such suffering might have done it's job of purging the dross,
then perhaps the desire to see it stop might give way to a deeper level of understanding.
Because no suffering lasts forever, and even within the process there are highs and lows,
like an orchestra, with drums, and violins and shrill sounds and dull sounds....

and when it's over there are a few precious moments when one can see the why and wherefore,
and that it was all worthwhile somehow.

That deserves a bump and a big THANK YOU, Ulli! This post is a keeper.

It is a part of my Knowing...thankful you had the words to express it so well.

I just love this thread where intentions can move a tropical storm and wisdom reigns abundant...here and now.

Love you all.

My on-going thoughts: My self and Higher Self are the drivers of this physical experience. Higher Beings that are only interested in sharing Love, and assist me in opening to nixing all illusion that veils, is where their assistance comes in. When asked. I stand in my own empowerment. Focus on joy, love, and peace. I have a divine right to live a joyous, loving and abundant life. (I'm leaving out the qualifiers that we are not this body. Hav-a-look at the garbage illusions, etc.)

I’ve been reticent about sharing information on angels. And stated that my 3D views are in constant flux. Sometimes over days or hours, it’ll all go - Poof! But like any shared knowledge, I use what fits, build upon it, and toss the rest. This email came today. It has new information for me. I thought I’d share.

“We are collectively heartened by the evolution the planet has made to ascend to this place of greater peace, stability and insight. We lead with love at all times, and are eager to receive love from your healing hearts and in exchange give our loving wisdom, support and blessings.”

When a soul asks 'why?', there are ALWAYS answers available. The answers come to you intuitively, via connections to our loving wisdom, your higher self/soul, Source, fairies, angelic beings of light, and many more besides.



The 'vehicle' for receiving this wisdom is unique to each soul, and thus, you must be open hearted to receiving it in order to live your highest life. What's more, your intuitive sensors - whatever those are, for you - must be protected, fully healed, cleared, open and so on.



With this in mind, please use the following reference guide to firstly connect with the energies that assist your unique intuitive connection, and then to ask to receive from them - on an ongoing basis - whatever your soul most needs in order to function optimally as a complete, wholly light and securely intuitive being.



- Archangel Michael protects and centers the knowingness/crown wisdom (claircognizance)



- Archangel Gabriel protects and centers visual stimuli, third eye healing work or visionaries (clairvoyance)



- Archangel Raphael protects, supports and centers healing received and emitted through feelings/solar plexus centre (clairsentience) and taste (clairgustance)



- Archangel Sandalphon protects, centers and heals those who give and receive through sound (clairaudience)



- Archangel Chamuel protects, grounds and heals inputs and outputs shared via smell (clairscent) and touch (clairtangency)

Thank you, Ulli. I absolutely agree 100%. I’ve lived and continue to shred the web of mind trickery.

It’s getting harder to watch people suffer, or avoid suffering by covering it all up with shopping, over work, food, drugs, alcohol, hurting others to ease their pain, etc. People loosing their jobs, and homes. No food. Sickness. Kids with rare cancers that are now all too common. The escalation of violence is overwhelming. It’s not my world. I vacillate between being informed and turning it all off. Use my time to dig out the corners of my own crap (qualifier “illusionary crap”).

And as I write this, I see that I’m viewing it from black and white rather than the greater perspective. Most days, I’m good about going with the flow. Today, I noticed it’s Friday. What happened to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday? And I still will jump out of bed tomorrow, excited to begin the day. There is no doubt I am supposed to be here. I feel incredibly fortunate and blessed.

I have such freedom. And it’s been hard earned and well deserved. Action and willingness to step into the bowels of the unknown. Only rewards come from it. I know. But, no one can teach that to another. One has to be courageous enough with maybe a bit of lunacy, to take those first few steps. The rest unfolds because the map keeps opening up right in front of you. I know. (For me at least.)

Of late, I hear this small voice say, “How dare you have such freedom while others sit with empty plates.” My heart smiles as it reminds, “Mind trickery.”

[astrid]

Oh yeah, the self doubt thing,
been oozing that of late,
and oh my, what a difference it makes,
i can't recommend it more highly.

I know nothing.

Peace Please

Love it Sierra, when you can take something old and make it new again. It only seems right!

Oh, wow. So much sincerity here in the Village. I am humbled and grateful to be a part of it all... I was going to start naming names, but realized my 3D memory ain't what it used to be, so please, each one of you who have shared, I thank you.

In the "big" city for a few days, and truly I would rather be at home in the country. School clothes shopping, and it is the least attractive activity I can think of. My head is already hurting from all this pressure, discombobulated from all these people and I don't know what all.

I am thankful I can check in and inhale the love and the peace here.

Much Love,
