Anyway: I refuse to give up, at least trying to remove her baggage/attachments/demons. Apparently my compulsion yesterday to read and contribute to the horus-FA thread agitated her (it/them) enough that she was blaming me for everything that has been happening and the idea that if I stopped looking at that stuff everything would be better.

As I pondered how I was going to be able relate the idea of pandora's box (that it was kinda a lil late now...), I called upon my higher self, or at least tried to. I promised myself if I was provided help in removing her (our) demons that I would use the tools from that to help everyone I could. I asked my higher self to incarnate within me so we could bring light to the darkness...that's the intent I kept trying project: light light light!

So really, I have no idea wtf I am doing. I can't relate to an idea of a "higher self" seperate from myself, or a higher power of the light where the method of asking for help is hidden. I realize my "prayers" aren't only answered in ways apparent to me, but I also know these dark b@stards can and do directly communicate...why can't I get that from the good guys?

How do you know your prayers are not being answered?

One of the most difficult things we face are situations in which a beloved other self faces challenges which strike at the core of our own being such that we want to help but find we cannot seem to.

From what I can discern, you aspire to act in a metaphysically potent manner in order to ameliorate or fix the problem. This may well be possible, but I would like to present some ideas about this.

I am sure that you want any actions you would like to take would be with the objective of making matters better and not worse.

The dynamics of freewill when inspected with 100% detached honesty often reveal very different root causes to situations than first meet the eye - in fact for most people, this is almost always the case; because what meets our eye is the distorted illusory reality of our own making.

The dynamics of the human incarnate experience are based on distortion and creating such complex distortion that we loose sight of the pure origins of our true being. This presents us a phenomenally potent environment in which to experience ourselves.

Consider a perfect tube made of paper - it is standing on its end on a level table. We all know that this is a very strong structure; and it has the capacity to support much more weight than first appearances suggest - a weighty pile of books can be balanced on it. However, if you introduce a tiny distortion to the structure it will crumple and collapse.

This metaphorical collapse through distortion, represents catalyst and for sentient beings it provides a means to explore the original distortion.

Without catalyst, nothing happens of any note in perfection. Perfection or close approaches to it while blissful is boring (except it isnt for other reasons, but making this point is a stretch anyway - LOL )

To rebuild the structure to its perfect form, the distortion will have to be removed.

I am sure you can imagine that it is extremely hard to smooth out paper to the extent that it would be as strong as it was before, and that all its inner fibres have been repaired and reformed into the perfection it once was before the collapse. Such efforts would be require super-normal powers of manipulation.

If such super-normal powers of were deployed - how do we know that the catalyst will not happen again?

When tugged by the challenges faced by our other-selves, our unbounded sense of compassion may drive us to act unwisely. We may act with the to smooth the paper without fixing the underlying problem that caused the catalyst for the collapse in the first place. Or we rebuild the structure with imperfections and weakness.

Does this make sense?

The analogy needs to stretch now.

The metaphoric collapse and subsequent increase in distortion of your beloved other-self has an infinitely significant purpose. For both you, and all the other-selves involved - which now even us and whosoever chooses to be "involved". Primarily of course, the person who is the focal point of the suffering. That purpose is very likely to have been "ordained" by the other-self at levels of their awareness that they currently do not have conscious knowledge of .

Freewill may not be abridged in the highest sense of it. Attempts to do so will cause the adherence of a karmic burden.

It is possible to fix this.

So - lets get to work.

Be you sure of your ground?

Miracles can and do happen - and they almost certainly will when all the puzzle pieces of the teach/learnings and karmic cycles are understood.

It is possible with careful work, to discover the underlying karmic teach/learning catalyst that has been wrought by the one infinite creator, which we all contain, are contained by, and in which we are are one.

My offering therefore is this potentially fallible attempt to get you to first remove your eyes from the small tactical situation and widen the scope and re-appraise the strategic situation as far as you can see, with your higher consciousness as far as possible.

It may very well be that the more important battle is taking place in a section of the battlefield that has not properly yet been explored.

I heard Carla Ruekert once say on Blog talk radio that "We are wind instruments for the holy spirit." I am thinking on this and find that we play ourselves. We together play the music of creation. Its actually down to us - even all the bad stuff - but that also means we can fix that when these notes have done their job and the catalyst has run its intended course.

I apologize if this message appears cryptic.

I'd be interested in yours or anyone else's response and ideas on how to progress.

(I probably have more to add later)

inter-dimensionally, if you could see the energies, at 3:15 am at night, you'd see a spiral in the sky, sticking out, away from the earth, the size of the earth, like the view from the inside of a tornado. Like the eye of a hurricane, but spiraling out from the earth, toward the outer rim of the solar system.

This.....If you could see those energies.

I Carmody, I found your post on Einstein quite interesting and you are 100% right in your analysis of the non verbal. I could tell even more such as when two persons sitting side by side make an V between them from the upper body, or an A shape from the lower body, this is definitely being in discomfort towards each other. Funny, but Lorenz legg position has changed in between the two DIFFERENT pictures - the colored picture still shows more distance. Something happened in between the take of the two pictures (which must have been in sequence) for Lorenz to change position. Most others did not change or very little. What happened must have been said/done fast and maybe nasty. Plus, look at the body language of Lorenz, all closed in, shoulder bits forward, knees thight and in the opposite direction to Einstein and most, hands hidden (black and white) (means he is witholding information). All others in the front row do show their hands. On the other hand (no pun here), Einstein seems more relax, his left hand - (our right) opened towards the sky (your analysis is right here) but his left hand is holding the chair (in the black and white picture, it is hidden in the colored one, most probalby more towards Einstein back). To me it seems he is trying to control or hold down his thoughts. Interesting. I love observing non verbal language.

But what most interest me here, Carmody, is the other dimension at 3 AM. The vortex opening. Could you tell more about this? I once saw, around 4 am, a vortex opening like waht you described (eye of the hurricane, but more like a real vortex) this over my room (well, the ceiling was nowhere to be seen), it was quite 3D in appearance, and a beam of very intense pure light came down from it on my house, more precisely on the bedrooms. This correlates with a very specific event in my life, but I was never quite sure of what I had seen.

Thanks

.... to make an act of surrender, one is also taking a leap of faith.

In the end these things matter most:

How well did you love?

How fully did you love?

How deeply did you learn to let go?

Saw this and was reminded of one of the Village people:

Surely not "The Village People!" .... http://officialvillagepeople.com/

Noooooooooooooooooo!

I'm on to you ulli, I saw that photo on reddit as well

Personally I am a tat prude. I see the human body as a sort of perfect thing - it is REALLY nice.

I do respect peoples freewill to have these done, but I don't really get them; but I have seen some eye catching ones.

That said, tattoos are big in Australia, the girls are getting covered in them. From the classless "tramp stamp" to minor works of art that are quite breathtaking.

And .... there is the cynical part of me thinks I should go long on shares in tattoo removal technology.

The anchor tattoo on this lass isn't bad as tats go. I do wonder, what use is an anchor that doesn't sink?

I wonder if she realizes that an anchor that is depicted with the rope this way is known as a fouled anchor - same as the one in my avatar. I am told that this is a design of badge given to some senior mariners and represents challenges in life well met.

She will meet her challenges with the defiant refusal to give up her sovereignty seeing the anchor as something oppressive that would otherwise weigh her down. Good on her!

I on the other hand, see the anchor as a useful stabilizing tool - if you can untangle the impediments to using that tool correctly.

What a brilliant response, John. Thank you. Informative, and with depth. And you even responded to my Village People joke, just as I had expected.
Thing is, I'm a tat prude myself. Anything permanent done to the body I have major issues with, alhough I would accept the surgical removal of unsightly birthmarks.
For ages I even refused to have my ears pierced, not until I was 36, but by then it had become an issue since I was making earrings for people and could never try them on myself and show them off.
Also, having observed myself go through various stages of growth, in fashion terms, I always knew that whatever tattoo was cool one year would annoy me a year later.
Also, aren't most tattoos decided on while people are out on late nights, inebriated, and under peer pressure? Anyway, her tattoo here will serve one purpose, that's for sure- it will take the attention away from her tits and bum.

Would you like for the Village Elders to convene and organize an absolution for you?
I'm sure it can be arranged, although it would be a first.
You'd have to give us feedback afterwards, if you felt the burden of guilt drop.

Last nights dream, we were in radio contact with each other as part of this worldwide radio/radar tracking system, somebody was shooting down ufos, ones that we understood to be friendlies, at the end one comes down in my area, 1inmany is shouting over the speaker that it's coming my way, I track it, determine it's path and where it will crash, then I'm out flying to the location on a search and rescue, I get to the vehicle which is badly damaged and get the thing to open up it's side, the being inside is injured, but not visibly and I teleport directly into (carmody's) a healing pool of water, she is unconscious and I fumble for a while to keep her face above water while removing her garments because I know the water must be making full contact with her body, once that's accomplished I start moving through the water in these wide, slow sweeping circles, careful not to let the water cover her face, this goes on for a while and eventually she begins to slowly regain consciousness, and when she makes eye contact I wake up

god bless the fae

Have you found the event in your real life yet, that this dream related to, where your inner fae wakes up?

The dream also reminded me of the Sleeping Beauty story.

My life's experiences all have been about bringing me to the point of surrender. Just when I surrender more and think that must be all, I find that I need to surrender more.

It was back to school today for my son. I've been planning everything the last few days to make the process as smooth as possible for him. He finds school very difficult and can be anxious and unsettled and as a mum, that bothers me. I even consciously directed some bad energies away from him, although I had a vague sense that I was doing something I shouldn't - in other words, taking back control.

This morning did go smoothly and we left the house with no rushing and no shouting, ready and in a peaceful, relaxed state. I was very pleased with myself that my efforts had paid off.

As I am driving to the school, I stop, indicate to turn right, the road ahead was clear so I start turning and Smack ! As I had turned right, a motorcyclist had overtaken me on the right, collided into my car and ended up lying in the middle of the road.

Fortunately he was OK. Well he said he was although he seemed very dazed to me. He was wearing a crash helmet and full leathers which took some damage, so he was well protected. He was adamant that he was going to ride to work though.

So instead of me taking my son to school in a relaxed way, I end up handing him over to another parent who was walking by as I dealt with the motorcyclist. Poor thing was shocked and confused with it all.


Today I have been busy with dealings with the insurance company and the repair garage so I have had not time for reflection until I just got back now.

I asked the question of my Higher Self - 'so what was all this about?'

Immediately I got the response 'Surrender'

Once again I am humbled by life and I realise All is Well, already.

Jeanette

Years ago the same thing happened to me, twice, actually, once with a motorbike and once with a bus.
I still can't believe that in neither case was anyone injured. The bus company paid for all the repairs.
There was an older dent I had caused, reversing out of a parking bay and hitting a rock hadn't seen as it was too low, and they fixed that too, at the expense of the bus company's insurance. That was the only positive that I could see had come out of it.
I'm sure there were more, like, some mechanic getting a job.

And, yeah, I got my surrender lesson, and my future mother-in-law who was in the backseat of the car could make her decision that her son would be ok if he married me because I stayed so calm throughout the incident.

Hmm, I'm sure glad no one was hurt in your case, Jeanette.

Good Morning

The dawn is about to break. It is cool still, will be over 100F today. At this time of the morning, possibilities are wide open. I have enjoyed analyzing the Einstein picture and subsequent discussion this morning. And I have an inkling, now, why I have been waking up at the "witching" hour. I feel empathy for you, donk, and wish I had some wonderful insight to share with you. For now, I can only offer my loving intent for the situation to be resolved for the highest possible good and that it leave both of you with a feeling of peace and love rather than fear and turmoil. I hold all of you in my heart this morning, wrapping my protective wings around you and sharing my light the best I know how.

I hope with all my being that M's mood flips soon. I, too, am struggling with surrender, but not the same way you guys are. M is 16, and that is a tough age. Add bipolar, and, well, she is several teens and I never know who I will meet with my good morning snuggle. The no-nonsense mom in me could whip her into shape, but that wouldn't be right. She is not taking her medicine correctly, if at all, and the no-nonsense mom could make her take it, but to what end? Who wins there? What is the boundary, what is the point at which she becomes responsible for her own health? I choose to take each opportunity to stay close to her rather than push her away to the point that I have no influence. Unfortunately, that would be the lose-lose of forcing anything at this point. Sitting back and influencing her in a positive way at every turn takes a measure of letting go.

The pond is gurgling, the fan is whirring. Cars occasionally vroom by in the distance. The shadows fall on the porch from the light in the kitchen. The air smells clean and fresh as I await my glimpse of prism dew.

All my Love,

Thankfulness. Gratitude. Appreciation.

It's occurred to me that tho' I carry those within, I don't verbally express it often enough...so when an opportunity arises, I've been taking it.

I am thankful for each and every person in the Village and appreciate the unique and special gifts each one brings to the table...and am especially grateful for Ulli who has created space for us to gather in the Here and Now.

We really are present(s) to one another. Thank you.

Love you all.

Might that have to do with the mind being weaker at that time of day? Because when I set the alarm for astral travel at that time.... I feel that my mind is too weak to do the projection. Weaker as later in the day that is.

That is the time in the body/mind rhythm when there is the least distraction, and so the opportunity for the most clarity, focus, and depth. When in the Zen Monastery, we rose at around 2:30 AM, did some chanting, and then meditation till about 5:30, when we had a small meal and began our work-day. It was great, but when I left and went back to the "World", I slept in till about 4:30 AM for quite some time, since I am lazy by nature. Mazie gets up usually around 4 AM, because she loves that time of day before dawn, and also enjoys watching the sunrise.

I have covered the physics and the metaphysics of the story behind this 3-5 am issue before, in various threads. one would have to do a search on my handle, Carmody ,and 'the witching hour'. If done - the data, complete with images and metaphysical connecting tissue, etc, will all be in the results.

Posted by Carmody (here)
this is the only one I could find right now. the whole shooting works might be in the astrology thread. Diagrammies, pitchers an evertin!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll cut to the chase.

inter-dimensionally, if you could see the energies, at 3:15 am at night, you'd see a spiral in the sky, sticking out, away from the earth, the size of the earth, like the view from the inside of a tornado. Like the eye of a hurricane, but spiraling out from the earth, toward the outer rim of the solar system.

This.....If you could see those energies.

what this means is that this 3:15 (approx) time, in your local area, the ability to be psychic or have psychic sensitivity is at it's peak or highest, or most complimentary, and with the least noise or interference.

Essentially, if one wants to dream/function properly, according to standard human design parameters... one must be in bed and sleeping/dreaming before 3:15am.

This is (part of) why it is chosen to be 'the witching hour.'

I myself, when left to my own devices, tend to do the 2-sleep cycle. I sleep in a chair, ie, pass out for a few hours or more, then wake for a while, then head to a true bed type sleep.

What I specifically do with those two sleep cycles, I'll keep to myself.

~~~~~~~~

it has to do with the earth's umbra or shadow, in the shape of a cone, and how the energies are lensed and gated at that particular local time. Local to the person and area.

Also, that is the time that the body is in it's most deep sleep, so..it is easier to reach the meditative state, the one where the body is truly still and the mind could be wandering and awake, with little to no bodily interference.

I had read all of Your posts in the past regarding this, Carmody...
Thanks once again!

It just never ceases to amaze me how I was doing these things naturally/intuitively at the onset of 2007 when my vibration went sky high...I am still in awe and my gratitude immense. There were many nights when I would simply be in the back yard gazing constantly and consistently at the starlit sky above and brought to a trance state. I would then go to bed at or just before this 3 am time slot and go into vision dreaming...my sleep state/ dream state seemed to be all wrapped together for a good portion of that year...energy abounded not needing much sleep and taking long nature walks about every day. I had to 'do it' to pass along the experiences to all in my life interested in any way so that they may do the same in their own ways in their own time.

Mojo,

Thanks for your post. Just so you know...we're good, always will be.

I like the jokey side of me, but it does back fire with people that are not marshmallow-y. And for those that really need for me to "eat crow" (sorry Benevolent Crow) well it says volumes about them. And that I can live with.
(smilies provided by Viralspiral)

I wanted to research something about how we need more laughter, health benefits and more specifically, the psychology of why some do and some don't respond. But my attention span said, "Nope." So I stopped at this great article:

I use #2 a lot, and I'm always refining the last two.

“Playful Communication in Relationships”

Playful communication helps you:

- Connect to others. Your health and happiness depend, to a large degree, on the quality of your relationships—and laughter binds people together.
- Smooth over differences. Using gentle humor often helps you broach sensitive subjects, resolve disagreements, and reframe problems.
- Feel relaxed and energized at the same time. Laughter relieves fatigue and relaxes your body, while also recharging your batteries and helping you accomplish more.
- Overcome problems and setbacks. A sense of humor is the key to resilience. It helps you take hardships in stride, weather disappointment, and bounce back from adversity and loss.
- Put things into perspective. Most situations are not as bleak as they appear to be when looked at from a playful and humorous point of view.
- Be more creative. Humor and playfulness loosen you up, energizing thinking and inspiring creative problem solving.

Some bullet points in the article: Laughter helps you stay healthy; Mental health benefits of laughter and humor; Mental health benefits of laughter and humor
