Here and Now...What's Happening?

The kombucha I love comes in a bottle, the brand name Synergy, and the flavor is called Trilogy, and it makes my toes curl just thinking about it.

It sounds like 1inmany is starting to collect dogs like I collect cats.

I really love that "More genies!"

The kombucha I love comes in a bottle ($3.59), the brand name Synergy, and the flavor is called Gingerberry (a tiny bit of ginger juice and a shot of blueberry juice in the kombucha), and it shoots 10,000 volts of lightning up my spine just thinking about it.

I'll have to try Trilogy!


I actually juiced some fresh, organic ginger and got some blueberry juice and tried to duplicate this favored elixir on my first try. Mine had a teeny bit too much ginger, a teeny bit too much blueberry juice, and less carbonation. I hope to get closer next time, but I'm not terribly far off. It cost me about $0.85 to $0.90 a bottle to make (mostly because pure blueberry juice is so expensive.) I wanted to get the price down to the range where I can drink a bottle a day.

Hey astrologers:
I have not had my chart done for 40 years. I no longer have it, and besides, that's a long time ago, not sure how much changes as you have charts done again, later. Who is someone that you'd recommend?

The trick is to not get absorbed in thinking that the flailing limbs are somehow you.

Oh yeah...

In fact, that seems to be the sole issue.

Hey, Dennis. Here is an astrologer I really like: http://www.starself.com/

If you just want your chart drawn up, here is a very good free one: http://www.alabe.com/freechart/

Cheers!

Been on the edge of something for a couple of weeks now,
and i keep pulling back when i get to that free falling space.
So working on building the courage to surrender completely.

Also interesting timing, is the return of my very first mentor/ teacher from
nearly a decade ago, totally out of the blue. He is one of those appears and disappears types.
He is a very complex character and we had and even more complex relationship, so i have mixed
feelings of his return, but still, me being me, I'm so deliciously curious. I never had known his true
identity either, which knowing all that i have learned, I'm finding myself much less trusting.

Very interesting times..

Love and blessings to you, Astrid, as you find courage.

Thanks Playdo, for the Joseph Farrell video. I'm interested in that as well.

I'm hoping for a clear morning, so I can begin sun gazing.

Ulli, I adore this photo. Think it's my new wallpaper.

I'm always moved when I watch teachers speak from the silence, rather than the mind. I see their words arise spontaneously from that place. To me, it has a different movement and flavour to words spoken from the mind.


reminds me of ......."It's the silence between the notes which makes the music"



Jeanette

Silence has been very much on my mind.

I find it very difficult to communicate truthfully with words.

I used to work as a radio journalist, freelance, and loved the silences between the words spoken. The silence held the story.

I loved listening to peoples silences.

I saw this on TV the other day. This is how I used to feel. I miss this form of communication.

At the end of my dreams, which I've just awoken from, ulli was taking lotusblossom and my self through some hilly residential streets in this tiny car, to her house. A song began playing on the radio, and she began singing along, and then my wife sings the next part, all the while I'm listening and watching the scenery pass by outside. As we approach her house and the song ends, ulli speaks to the meaning and synchronicity that this song holds for her, and I say to her, it is very meaningful to me as well, but in a different way, which is synchronicity itself, and she looks at me and says "oh, really?" and then turns up the little hill into her driveway, and I wake up.

I hadn't seen this photo posted recently, but yesterday I was going through all the pics I have saved, and I picked this very image to be my new wall paper, in fact. Speaking of synchronicity.

Oh, really???????

(OMG I just got the sign I prayed for last night....at this very moment....the word popped up right here on this iPad as a typo....
I was hitting the space bar and one letter above it, then the spell checker somehow did the rest.
And right there was the name of the spirit guide I was looking for.....I was stunned...wow!!!!!!!)

The word that appeared instead of the three dots that is my custom to use was
bab

Easy to do if you hit the space bar and the letter b by accident. However to me the meaning became clear in one instant.
last night I had asked spirit to give me a sign as to who my personal spirit guide might be. I was half expecting the answer to be my mother ( she had passed away in 2006, but her presence has been noted on various occasions)
I was not expecting any of the names associated with the Baha'is as the members consider me a dissident....
in a similar vein as Bill Ryan is considered a dissident by the Church of Scientology. I have not been to a single Bahai event since 2001. I must say, I had forgotten all about the Bab, who was only the herald, having announced the advent of Baha'u'llah.
The Bab marked the greatest turning point in my life when I read a book titled Thief in the Night which was written by a TV producer and dealt with his own journey of discovering the Bab. Here is what was going on in the nineteenth century, when he appeared in Persia:

"The boldness of the Báb’s proclamation--which imparted a vision of an entirely new society--stirred intense fear within religious and secular establishments.

Consequently, persecution of the Bábís quickly developed and thousands of the Báb’s followers were put to death in a horrific series of massacres.

A number of Western observers testified to the extraordinary moral courage evinced by the Bábís in the face of this onslaught. European intellectuals such as Ernest Renan, Leo Tolstoy, Sarah Bernhardt and the Comte de Gobineau were deeply affected by this spiritual drama that had unfolded in what was regarded as a darkened land.

The nobility of the Báb’s life and teachings and the heroism of His followers became a frequent topic of conversation in the salons of Europe.

The story of Táhirih, the great poet and Bábí heroine, who declared to her persecutors,

“You can kill me as soon as you like, but you cannot stop the emancipation of women,”

traveled as far and as quickly as the story of the Báb Himself

Oh, Village...I love you so.

Such a wonderful gathering, this.

Really big mental head slap this morning. I am so oblivious...I am the Queen of Oblivion. Yep. Of course we have a lot of dogs...and of course they materialize out of thin air - or come from far, far away...Mama is a girl. She is a drop off or a stray or whatever she is, so she has not had vet visits...thus, no shots, no SPAYING...And the gray dog across the street is a boy dog...and a drop off or stray...and this HUGE dog that showed up last night - Mr. Cuddlepants - is a boy dog...and a drop off or a stray...I cannot BELIEVE how long it took me to get the hint.

*sigh*

I believe puppies will be forthcoming.

:/

Ulli, we need a barn full of dogfood, please...and I'm starting research on names (lol), not that Em would let me use any cool names, but hey it's worth a shot...

Love,

p.s. Dennis, Ulli, PL, Calz, and WCBD thanks for the inner chuckles...

p.s. p.s. Do I really not have enough to do?

[PurpleLama]

FWIW, I think, ulli, you may be guide you are looking for, in that Spirit may intend for you to be the Messenger for this time. Take that as you will, please do not fear the implication. Something tells me that the insights that led to you being dissident in your church or whatever may indeed be led by the one spirit. The internet is a marvelous device for the dissemenation of knowledge, and for anonymity.

Listening to Joseph P. Farrell's Interview about astrology, which was posted by Astrid last night.
Very interesting.
He makes a decent attempt at explaining how astrological patterns are made by templates...
as Carmody has also insinuated on various occasions.

Hey, look how the words ATTEMPT and TEMPLATE relate to each other.

[benevolentcrow]

There was a buzz in the village this weekend, hard to keep up. Lots of interesting post from what I feel old friends. Have a wonderful week villagers.

I have no one with whom I can discuss my doubts, although I was on several forums for Bahai dissidents.
The problem there was that most of those members were dissidents for different reasons. Mostly because they were homosexuals and there were endless arguments about
how to interpret Bahaullahs position on homosexuality. In his writings he had only referred to the enslavement of boys for sexual reasons...
which he condemned, saying, My pen comes to a screeching halt at the mere thought.....or words to that effect....

I came from the angle that both the Bab and Bahaullah were channels who had used the automatic writing method.
On those forums there was no one there who agreed with me or had ever studied psychic phenomena like I had.
So the only Bahai I can relate to in some meaningful way today is Dr. Steven Greer.
But he never tries to reconcile Bahai prophecy with todays political events. He just follows his Disclosure path.

My path is quite different; it has to do with the formation of independent communities. Which is what I am attempting to do here.
By independent I mean independent from all wordily influences.
Only our inner spirit, from the inside out, guiding us, and that means watching out that this is not the same spirits that guide the elite.
And therein lies the real clincher...

[PurpleLama]

I did not say before, ulli, the song you were singing was a beautiful, holy scripture, in another language, but in the dream I understood every word, and the feeling of the song was of Holy Presence, Reverence and Love. I would use the analogy of the Bride of Christ, one who is betrothed to Creator, very much a song of feminine love in relation to God, hence your mild surprise an how I, too, found the song to be so profoundly meaningful, such a blessing to me being connected to and included in the very context of the verse. Lb and I very much have the alchemical wedding, and with her singing between us, she was like a living conduit of that Holy Spirit going whoosh whoosh back and forth within the vehicle, and yes, it was very cramped in that front seat.

Oh yeah...

In fact, that seems to be the sole issue.

This is why I pointedly pushed myself into it. To get me 'over myself'.

Not recommended unless one is going into it in a fully knowing type state as the body will fight back with all it's got. Up to and including any kind of imaginary or fabricated missive that your conscious mind could ever come up with and a guarantee of the 'toppers' (Peak moments and situations) being beyond conscious knowing..as this is coming from the place the conscious mind launches itself from. (as an in/out formative filter/mechanism)
