Here and Now...What's Happening?

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities, all the nation
Everything that falls your way, I say
There is a deeper world than this that you don't understand
There is a deeper world that this tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this, swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this, listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping overland
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will it's power withstand, I say
There is no deeper wave than this rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of that fear, I say
There is a deeper wave than this rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this, listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us, can't you see?
There is a deeper wave than this rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave
I say love is the seventh wave
I say love is the seventh wave
I say love is the seventh wave
I say love is the seventh wave
I say love is the seventh wave
I say love

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every breath you take with me
Every breath you take, every move you make
Every cake you bake, every leg you break

[Mark]

whenever the mundanity of mental and spiritual slumber threatens, I go Kravitz. Always guaranteed to remind me of the excitement and wonder of living for the Now. Even all by yourself. On a busy street.

Party over heeeereee!!

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Was awoken by the squawking of chickens at 3:00 AM last night to find a huge raccoon looking for some meat. I ran it out of there and then ran down the chickens running around my yard. I had to batten down the hatchets and strengthen the security. My hens were pretty upset, but they calmed down. If that raccoon came by once he'll surely be back. Pesky varmint!

I posted this on Wade Frazier's thread just now, but thought some of you might be interested in my version of the Pluto Uranus energy mix.
I haven't even looked at their position by signs (Capricorn versus Aries, --which actually would intensify the point I was making.


Pluto and Uranus are squaring now.
This is our chance. A window has opened, or rather, an inter-dimensional gate.
Pluto's energy is comparable to that of a volcano-
a mountain that is not just any mountain, but something more deceptive since deep underneath the pristine flora and fauna there are rivers of hot lava seeking an exit through the blocking rocks.
Meanwhile Uranus' energy is more electric...it needs a duality of a different kind than Pluto. Where Pluto's energy is a long-term build-up Uranus can produce an explosion in an instant...the moment when two opposite poles are at the right distance to one another.
So now these two are meeting...the 90 degree angle in the sky has brought them onto an empty dance floor, or is it a boxing ring?
Each person on earth is experiencing this confrontation on their own inner sky line, and only a few understand the process.
If enough people become aware that this is their chance to bring about the highest good for all, all they need to do is modify their own behavior in such a way as they would like others to behave towards them, then start sending their daydream out into the ether.
And voila! The Golden Age.
Simple.

All that, with Neptune fully settling into Pisces.

Darn, I knew I had left out an important factor.
Four eyes see better than two, or should I make that three eyes...
Two for me and one for you.

Neptune erodes, and so does Pisces energy. It breaks down old structures.
It is a gradual process...water carries away matter from one place and then piles it up somewhere else.
Pisces is the most subversive sign, but it can also bring in the fragrances of another world as a reminder for those who are not misled.
It is either the call of the sirens that mislead or the choir of heavenly voices that lift up the spirit, beckoning.
To distinguish which direction the music is coming from takes at the least an awareness that there are directions at all, and consequences in case of taking a wrong turn.
Because there are different levels of density and compactness, and freedom is never found if one follows the call of deception. There is only bondage and less mobility down that road, and it narrows the longer one is on it. It always starts out wide and inviting-looking, like a smooth highway.
The other option is reverse...by voluntarily choosing a rocky road one can find that things improve with time and effort, until finally after long periods of training, hardships and purging, the self is transformed, and a new being has emerged, one which is in harmony with all that is. It's worth the struggle...but if one is honest to begin with it is no struggle at all.

Really deserves it's own thread titled something like. "The Astrological Alignments Bringing in New Energies" or something like that. This last quarter of 2012 is loaded with them.

Thank you AB and Jenci for Adyashanti!

Although I haven´t felt like reading for quite som time, I ordered his book "The end of your world". I am not really reading it, just opening it randomly when there is something I need to understand. I am amazed at how his words correspond with what I am experiencing.

Such a Beautiful Man. And as much as I appreciate his words, his silences are heart opening. ( 1.59 - 2.18 )

Hi Swan,

I am so glad you got the book - it's an extraordinary book. It held my hand as I went through some rather puzzling and frightening processes after my initial awakening. I used to just pick the book up randomly and read exactly what I needed to hear that day.


I too get very moved by his silence. I see someone whose mind has nothing to say.....he speaks only when his heart moves him to speak.

Someone sent me this. I had to pause it at the 1:30 mark, I was laughing too hard:

Hundreds of crows on the roof earlier this evening. Here's a few I snapped a photo of, at the same time, out the window. They were in the trees all around, as well.

While assembling a book case this morning at my husband's new office I noticed dozens of black crows outside on the lawn, reminded me of Hitchcock's The Birds. Most unusual. Now you come out with the same story. What's with this?

[astrid]

The astro stuff explains why i have been working sooo hard the last few weeks,
i have my main two teachers working overtime for me, to make sure I'm all on
track with some final deeper clearings. Finally i have been able to get to the root
of a few things that i have been unable to untangle on my own.
Old religious patterning, very sticky stuff, especially for a 6 year old.
So it's intense right now, to understate things but also a huge relief, its like i have
been finally "given" permission. When i get this one thing sorted many many cards
will then fall into place.

I had one meeting at my 4am this morning and another at 11am, and in between
that i went outside and found a baby Raven in my back yard, maybe the same one
that i saw fall from the tree last week. It was unable to clear the fence, and was
stuck down the side of my house. At first i put some fresh meat out for it, but
before long it was obvious it was not yet feeding itself, so then i went to plan b
and caught it and crated it to protect it until i assessed the situation. It was very
sweet, didn't fight me at all. I crated it and gave it some water and covered the
crate to keep it calm while i waited for the sun to come up. When i went out later,
the parents were hanging around, so i opened the crate and watched to see
if they would still feed it, and they did. By the end of the morning it had found
shelter in the lower branches of a tree, and mum and dad were still feeding it,
so i was confident that it would soon have enough strength to clear the fences.
The parents were much grateful for the big tray of minced beef that i put out for
them, I'm not sure my dogs were too happy to share their food though.
Standard Poodles are known " bird dogs" another reason why i was happy that
i didn't have to take it in and raise it myself , it would have been a tad tricky.
Although neither of them have ever killed a bird, they like to chase them, and
birds can easily die of fright.

So happy ending to my Raven story.

Now to get to my work with my 6 year old self, my homework for this week.
I would be chronicling things, here, only that to stop and have to language things,
takes me away from where the work is at, and then it all becomes protracted.
I might write something about it when the process is more complete.

love to all

I just visited and posted on another thread ...the mentalist thread...and let them know about us here.
While posting I was reminded of how much I love all the Villagers, and wish to express it.
Over the last year we have cured quite a few illnesses, haven't we? What an amazing, astonishing bunch of people you all are. True mentalists. As well as heartalists. There...I just created a new word.

You haven't cured the pedants yet: shouldn't that be heartists, or cardiacists or something?

Regardless of the word, which can be whatever you want, the concept is a very important one.

[Carmody]

So you wanted to know, and we quest always. Trying to steer our paths.

Why is the truth.... a parable, and the future....a dream?

Only the ignorant and the innocent can change where they're going and who they've been.

What is the price of knowing?: The loss of choice, and the consequence of acts.

[Ernie Nemeth]

The price of knowing is painful, limiting and frustrating. But also, it is powerful, revolutionary and freeing. Go figure...

Hi my friends. Heartfelt greetings to all - and blessings.

Life moves on, as it is want to do. Working my little tail off. 10 to 16 hours a day. Even some Sundays. Have rose to the top in my job, as I always do. Start running my own 5-man crew next week. This life-style is instinctual and requires very little effort or thought on my part. My biggest challenge is dragging my tired and sore butt out of bed every day. But a half hour of deep breathing and meditation always brings me to peak efficiency for the day.

Today is Sunday and I do not have to work. Yeah! My wife, girlfriend doesn't do it, Val is getting a kitten today. The reason she wants a cat is because, due to circumstances too boring to go into, she has taken care of her daughter's kitty for the past three weeks. We both grew very attached to Spooky (renamed Max by Val - and the new cat will also be Max, hehe). Her daughter reclaimed her cat yesterday and Val broke down, balling her eyes out, saying she loved Max and didn't want to part with him. After much coaxing and the promise of getting her her own kitty she relented and gave her daughter her cat back.

So Max 1 is gone. I miss him too. Animals often bond with me in an understanding way hard to describe. There is a knowing we share. A knowing I know what they know and they know I know they know. It is like an acceptance without pretense, if that makes any sense. Max was my buddy, my equal. He'd come in and talk to me, shoot the sh!t, then lie down next to me and purr away like a motorboat - such a soothing sound - making sure to keep a paw touching me to keep the physical connection intact. And I'd reach down and absently give him a good rubbing and stroking the way cats like - like their own mommies used to do...

And now we are on our way to get Max 2 from the humane society. Quite the complicated process really. They require two pieces of governmental ID and a letter from our landlord. Plus we have to attend an orientation of some sort. What next, a credit check and a blood sample? LOL

So that's my life. Sweet, sweet life. Mundane yet poignant, and personal.
Healing thoughts to all in need. Love to all.

Hugs

Such a heart warming post, Ernie. Can't thank you enough for dropping by.
And I will send morning energy to you, and so will other Villagers, I'm sure.
Major synchronicity there, re. Max, BTW.
Just yesterday hubby and I were talking about how everyone in Costa Rica calls their pet MAX.
