    Daily I am reminded of how far I have to go. At the same time I am reminded of who I am. Hard to be both. Maybe it gets easier?

    Who knows when all the details will come out. Not my deal, I'm "just" the periphery haha. I see the wisdom...I hear it...and I thank you all for it.

    Lessons to learn all around.
    Hi 1inMany

    Once we start embracing the lessons we get and learning them, then we get more lessons to learn so it is no surprise that as you have made such great strides lately that more lessons will be incoming, thick and fast.

    Does it get easier? I would say no the lessons don't get easier .....but the acceptance of the lesson, when you see the bigger picture, comes quicker.


    Ultimately it is you who is giving yourself these lessons because now you are ready and that is beautiful ......although these times are both challenging and painful for you. Your sharing of them will, no doubt, be helpful to others.

    I love my avatar of the moment.

    "The Unbelievable Truth"

    "It's Not The Truth"

    I like that avatar too PL.
    I remember when those threads where hot and they often danced next to each other and I thought it was rather 'catchy' then.

    I wonder what happened to <8> though.
    We communicated often and he was in the astral Projection group too.
    One day he had his first Lucid dream or astral adventure and that was the last day he was on-line here on Project Avalon.
    I send him an e-mail to get him to let me know about his ongoings, but no reply.

    Rather weird is his join date and last activity date too.

    Yes, breathe

    Why don't you just keep it simple to start? Just tell us how you are feeling today....

    or if that is not simple, tell us what book you are reading or what the weather is like or what you like about your avatar picture. Baby steps.

    This situation reminds me of a time....when peanut was 14, Em was 6. We lived in an apartment, and Em was right outside the window playing. She came running in distraught, to say the last, and talking so fast that all I got was "and Tasia and that bulldog." I said, well, I'm sure everything's fine. Calm down, sweetie. And Peanut (her friend and boyfriend following behind) said, "No, Mom, it's a pitbull." That was not good news in this area.

    By the time I made it to the door, Peanut had sprinted out the door, run across the grounds, pushed the pitbull off of Tasia, scooped up the 4 year old girl, and was sprinting home, pitbull ripping her jeans and snarling and grabbing at her legs with his teeth...which were bloody, as was Tasia's face.

    And the two friends just stood watching the whole thing from the door.

    smh

    Peanut reached out to protect a woman from being beaten, and she goes to jail...that girl last week testified against a thug and then he killed her...wtf? How can we expect for our young adults to choose to reach out and help humanity, when all they get is the punishment? While the sh*theads walk away...

    Trying to remain centered here.

    Very proud mama, but incensed at the same time.

    All my love and gratitude to you all for helping, I really, really do not know what I would do without you....
    Dear 1inMany

    Your daughter has such quick reactions that a crisis is over before it has even begun for other people, so she is not going to get any credit for it – except from us, that is – and as you say, can even get into trouble for it.

    A while back I was eating in an all-timber restaurant where they served a flambéd dessert at the next table. Some of the brandy spilled on the floor where it continued burning at the feet of the girl who'd ordered the food and who began to panic. Having quick reflexes myself, I managed to stamp out the fire before it turned into something major. The waiter could have burned the place down, but as it didn’t happen, for him nothing had happened, and indeed on the face of it nothing much had.

    A lot of the good work being done in the world is being done this way. It cannot be quantified because it never gets in the news, but the positive message is that if ever if could be quantified, the result would be astounding.

    There is also a downside, in that the other side can be acting in the same way. I remember ‘Charles’ claiming that this was his modus operandi: to deal with a problem before it even became one. But the positive message there is that there are so few of these guys compared to the rest of us. The rest of us solve the rottweiler problem by sticking to labradors, terriers and such.

    Bob and I spent the day in Oroville, CA last week taking photos and visiting old haunts. I grew up in Oroville, a small foothill community about 25 miles from Paradise. This photo is of my sweet Bob taking pics at the Feather River fish hatchery. Tomorrow, the Salmon ladders open up for the first time this season for the spawn. We're hoping to get there for some really fine photography opportunities.

    I'd like to smack myself upside the head. When will I learn? Trust. Trust. Trust. It's Okay.

    Peanut came to pick up Little One this morning. I got the story. Only since I hate loose ends and unfinished business, I will share. A bunch of people went out after work Friday. Peanut's boyfriend went along. While at this club, they ran into an old friend of boyfriend, a lady who is now married, and of course she was with friends. A bunch of people decided to go to Peanut's place to hang out. On the way, it became apparent that the only one tagging along was this lady. Now alone, she became fearful that someone had called her husband. She began to fall apart, saying that her husband would beat her when she got home.

    Peanut and boyfriend took the lady home, and the husband was waiting outside in a rage. He stormed the car as the lady got out and started shouting, accusing her of sleeping with Peanut's boyfriend. Peanut's boyfriend got out of the car, afraid the husband would become violent. The husband then took cover in the house. The wife followed.

    As Peanut drove away, this lady's plight would not leave her. She followed her instincts and went back to the house to make sure the lady was okay. The lady answered the door, disheveled and sobbing and asked Peanut to come in. The wife relayed that the husband had performed certain sexual acts on her that were unwanted. Peanut was pleading with the wife to walk out with her, told the wife she could stay at a shelter, tried to console her and comfort her. Peanut having had experiences like this in the past, she felt such compassion for this wife, and such empathy.

    At this point, husband came out of the back of the house in a rage. Peanut and the wife were inches from each other, so when husband lunged it is hard to say which woman he was going for. But, at that moment, Peanut zapped him. It was self defense. This man is ex-marine, keeps his physique up, and is a big guy...I would have zapped him, too.

    When the police came, husband wanted to press charges. The wife, predictably, sided with the husband in his version of the story. Peanut stood alone. I suppose she could have fled the scene, but having such honest intentions she stayed and tried to explain to the police so they would help the woman.



    Last night Peanut's boyfriend broke up with her. She is heartbroken as she was falling in love with him. Why do I mention this? I know skeptics would not believe this, and I don't care because I know it is true. All the help sent our way with the highest good in mind might have helped this along. Trust me, as sweet as he was to her, he was NOT any mother's dream. I don't alienate my children by disapproving of much. I accept what they choose and love these choices as part of my children. Oh, I set limits and all that, but I will not lose a daughter over a choice of mate. Especially when Little One is involved. So this necessarily had to happen on its own.

    Love you all, appreciate each one of you so very, very much. I hope I can keep becoming...sometimes the road ahead is...daunting.

    Now I know why my first impression was that there was someone I had to go after.

    A synopsis of this morning's dream sequence is....Last night, we were in a building, with people, in a tight space...a gun went off accidentally (it did not look like a normal gun, plasticized, in ways), people had to move out (shift/change/separation), a young woman was on her own. I was helping the young woman. (who was of similar nature to a Sagittarius friend I had in earlier years -just a little bit potent, hard nosed in a tight spot, and people oriented) (Jodi was blonde and polish, and always managed to get herself into difficult relationships and spent her time standing by family and friends when the chips where down, and she never backed down. Never.)

I was helping the young woman. (who was of similar nature to a Sagittarius friend I had in earlier years -just a little bit potent, hard nosed in a tight spot, and people oriented) (Jodi was blonde and polish, and always managed to get herself into difficult relationships and spent her time standing by family and friends when the chips where down, and she never backed down. Never.)
    Carmody that imagery you describe about the tight space and separation with a gun is very similar to the dream I had a few nights ago I posted about. I didn't mention the gun part...it just really reminds me of the dream I couldn't shake off.

    That's what prescience is, in my experiences. My mind takes the imagery it knows and put it on the things seen, so the objects can take shape. this particular dream took place this morning for me, and then a few hours later, I get this report. The 'out of time and space' connections are usually only provable to ourselves, which is fitting, I guess.

    Then I look at 1inM's avatar..and largely see a blondish woman, head on fist, and I get a glimpse of her daughter. Who apparently, fits Jodi's description well enough that this became the overlay of the impression of her daughter, in my case.

    ~~~~

    you see we were partying,and the situation was of people, together, in a tight space, in a house, and then some aspects of domestication, as in the idea of food, caring, family, and so on. Then this dang gun thing went off, near accidentally ..about the same time as a strong male presence was found, and then the slight aspect of some derision or issue pointed at the woman (whom was Jodi to me), who had foolishly handed me a loaded gun. The gun went off when I handled it, put a hole in the ceiling..... people lived upstairs and around the area...and thus the young woman and some others decided that they had to move out and away.

    But then, later on, I was with the young woman, down the road, at a new place, but just me and her, no one else. More like a stop, not a place to live. She seemed a bit exhausted and spent. Basically, that she was on her own, even though the moving out, due to that gunshot, was a complicated and involved decision involving this man, and some aspects of the people in the backdrop.

    This is why we have to be careful with channeling and visions. Close, but not close enough to run around with a sword of truth or justice attached to it, running people through or whatnot. only in retrospect, context, and juxtaposition can the shape of it be measured or seen, as either relation or comparative.

    edit: for me, astrology plays in quite potently. I would not be surprised to learn that her daughter is a Sagittarius or has strong Sagittarian influences in her birth chart. Also, that the love interest angle rears it's head, which starts with the physical, as a norm. And it was a party issue, alcohol was involved. And some domestic violence. Jodi came from a broken home, was an absolute tour-de-force and was not to be trifled with if she got a head of steam on any issue. She was a Slim, 5'3", drop dead gorgeous polish blond alcoholic -self admitted nymphomaniac. If one wanted to find out what trouble was, they'd take her up on her offer to go out drinking. Once. Always an adventure......

    Default Re: Here and Now...What's Happening?

    Dream last night,
    I was told my Father had died, i was at a gathering with people i didn't really know,
    and one of them told me quite matter of factly.

    I didn't even get to go to the funeral as no one told me about it.
    I felt odd at that moment i was told, surreal, and i was surprised he did not
    try and contact me on the way through. But on reflecting, in dream, i understood
    it was the same as in life as in death. We were connected but there was always a
    block there, a fear almost of each others power, or something..

    I remember a time when he felt that he had to choose the church over me,
    as the way i was , was at huge odds with all that. This to me was a great shame and
    a loss, and indeed hard to fathom. But thinking now.. we see this all the time,
    religion is the great separator, afterall.

    This morning, in my back yard, i watched as from the HUGE pine tree over the back fence,
    a baby raven fell from its nest. The parents were distraught.
    It's sitting on a lower branch, it's little, too little to survive on its own, I have put out
    some mince beef that i give my dogs, hoping that the parents keep feeding it.

    Then some white Cockatoos flew over, and perched on chimneys, squawking and
    doing their usual larikin acts. One of them sounded like it had been domesticated at
    one stage as it was saying "Uh-Oh!"
    People often have then for pets and they are expert mimics, they have been known to live 80 years.

    So interesting omens in all that, what a start to the day.

    Never a dull moment that's for sure.

    Yesterday felt very "messy" in that there seemed to be too many options and choices
    coming at me, and i was not able to get a grasp on anything.
    At the end of the day i finally managed to sit still, regardless,
    and i realized that all these possibilities were just that, and i started to get that
    its ok to just let them fly past me, rather than thinking i had to do all of them.

    Too much novelty, and not enough habit, means that nothing gets done.
    As is the dance of life, its a challenge i have had all my life. I want to experience it all,
    and find it hard to stop at one thing with the knowing that something else will get unexperienced.
    But in reality it does not matter whether i turn left or right, or go straight ahead, just as long as i
    commit and move into the experience as fully as possible in order to maximize the outcomes and the learnings.

    Or something like that.
    True enough for now anyways

    This situation reminds me of a time....when peanut was 14, Em was 6. We lived in an apartment, and Em was right outside the window playing. She came running in distraught, to say the last, and talking so fast that all I got was "and Tasia and that bulldog." I said, well, I'm sure everything's fine. Calm down, sweetie. And Peanut (her friend and boyfriend following behind) said, "No, Mom, it's a pitbull." That was not good news in this area.

    By the time I made it to the door, Peanut had sprinted out the door, run across the grounds, pushed the pitbull off of Tasia, scooped up the 4 year old girl, and was sprinting home, pitbull ripping her jeans and snarling and grabbing at her legs with his teeth...which were bloody, as was Tasia's face.

    And the two friends just stood watching the whole thing from the door.

    smh

    Peanut reached out to protect a woman from being beaten, and she goes to jail...that girl last week testified against a thug and then he killed her...wtf? How can we expect for our young adults to choose to reach out and help humanity, when all they get is the punishment? While the sh*theads walk away...

    Trying to remain centered here.

    Very proud mama, but incensed at the same time.

    All my love and gratitude to you all for helping, I really, really do not know what I would do without you....
    Dear 1inMany

    Your daughter has such quick reactions that a crisis is over before it has even begun for other people, so she is not going to get any credit for it – except from us, that is – and as you say, can even get into trouble for it.

    A while back I was eating in an all-timber restaurant where they served a flambéd dessert at the next table. Some of the brandy spilled on the floor where it continued burning at the feet of the girl who'd ordered the food and who began to panic. Having quick reflexes myself, I managed to stamp out the fire before it turned into something major. The waiter could have burned the place down, but as it didn’t happen, for him nothing had happened, and indeed on the face of it nothing much had.

    A lot of the good work being done in the world is being done this way. It cannot be quantified because it never gets in the news, but the positive message is that if ever if could be quantified, the result would be astounding.

    There is also a downside, in that the other side can be acting in the same way. I remember ‘Charles’ claiming that this was his modus operandi: to deal with a problem before it even became one. But the positive message there is that there are so few of these guys compared to the rest of us. The rest of us solve the rottweiler problem by sticking to labradors, terriers and such.
    Very Powerful Spirit Knowing and Acknowledgement for MUCH of what goes on in the Here and Now Balancing Act we are in...ALL will be ok as we transmute, transform and transcend to a new newness the likes of which will blow hearts wide open worldwide....
    Thank You Araucaria : )

    Thanks WCBD, i have Raven as one of my long term team members,
    so Raven themes are common happenings for me.

    I try and not read others take on signs and symbols until i have
    done my own asking on such things, as it can make me lazy,
    and can mean i miss the meanings more specific to me.

    For example, baby Raven falling out of nest is loaded , big time for me.
    In the past i tended to being a rescuer of all things.. thankfully i have leaned that lesson well,
    and more fully understand that birth and death are just two
    ends of the same stick, both just as glorious in ways.
    If i save a baby Raven from being eaten by a cat, would i try and stop a raven from being born?
    All things being in a constant flow of life and death and re- birth, and such is the flow of life,
    All moving towards higher states of evolution.

    And of course consciousness never dies it just gets transformed, so who am i to stop that process?

    But taken a step further, the Baby Raven is me, part of myself, that curious side that gets me into
    trouble sometimes... when i want to do things before time is right, so its a warning of sorts too,
    to not be too hasty. Make sure i am ( my ideas are ) fully developed before i try and flee the nest,
    take things to world.

    On the other hand.. i did in actuality flee the nest very early as it was not a safe place for me to be,
    so another take.... And now that my parents are both aging fast... and they need me, badly, i am being
    asked to return. But I'm hesitating as i have all those triggers still in my body of
    being unsafe that i have to process and deal with.
    And kind of sooner than later so i can move with this whole phase of enormous growth.
    This is all about me after all, and avoiding such things is only going to block my growth.

    So yeah, loads of quite specific meanings in those Omens, and that's just the Raven.

    The Raven is also the ultimate trickster and will do whatever is needed to "get the job done".
    Not known for comfort, but known for HUGE shifts and growth spurts..
    So all very very accurate as far as the current happenings of my life goes.

    That trickster energy was for sure at play with that whole event for Many..
    its a perfect example of how that energy works. Also you will see many a
    many "bird with the one stone" effect occurring too.
    So just watch what happens next to all the players involved...
