Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Anchor]

I've decided never again to share any past history that was traumatic.
..
Burning her house down while smudging...my oh my, what an oxymoron...
..
From now on I'm asking everyone here to follow my example and only share their happy shyte
because as long as 1inMany is going through her withdrawal crisis

I think its an understandable reaction to want this.

Speaking for myself I am not persuaded of the link between one and the other. Furthermore if we cannot speak about our problems and stories, how can we ask for help ?

My suggestion is that 1inMany's smudging drama (which IMO came nowhere near to burning down her house as she is evidently well protected) is because the motive for smudging was worry about unknown things.

Sometimes it takes more than a few words to drive that message in.

An accident with fire may however do the trick - LOL

1inMany, what do you think?

Letting go of worry and expanding the faith is not the easiest thing to do at the best of times.

Take that, Anchor. You made it sound as if I had been serious.


Mom! What are you doing? No, mom! Stahp!

[Anchor]

Sorry. I did think you were serious. Also I can see how it may be a valid concern.

People read enough crap on forums like this to actually manifest psychic disturbance in their lives. I saw some of that when the thuban thread was running on PA1 and also during the Charles drama in that long distant past of this forum.

Excuse me for not discerning correctly

Thanks for the lick !!

Sometimes I say things tongue in cheek, but there is a serious element, too.
I had felt a strong surge of empathy when WCBD shared earlier today about losing 90% of her stuff in a fire...
and so I saw a connection when I flashed on that image of the sparks in 1inMany's report.
The thing is, this is no longer a joke...where focus goes energy flows...
and we must all learn what it means to be responsible for our thoughts.
During these times we are all at different levels of awakening,
and I would never judge anyone who is horrified at people who seem to be jolly ...
from their perspective it must sound so callous and flippant, even.

Yet there is so much evidence out there that consciousness and mental imagery do bring about an instant reality
that it would be dangerous for someone like me to even dwell on disaster for any length of time lest I make it happen.

I want all Villagers to be safe and happy. And not only the Villagers, but all of mankind.
Even in a happy life there can be contrasts, and highs and lows, just not as painful as we are witnessing now in the war and hunger zones of the planet.

Hi Ulli and 1inMany,

K., I went back over the last ten pages and removed what ended being one post from today about: LOSS=CHANGE=FREEOM.

If you see any others I will respectfully take down as well. Just say the word.
Peace,
Paula

I'm in awe of this village of loving and caring souls. I love you all, very much. I am listening, and I am absorbing. I feel grateful to have found this place of wisdom and compassion, frolic and folly.

[PurpleLama]

1inmany and I have become good friends, and ol' Reilly ain't nothing but a rolling ball o' catalyst. I tend to spread that old Chinese blessing/curse "May you live in interesting times".

That plate shattering and the subsequent fireworks were a more dramatic and deeper clearing than would have otherwise been achieved, I would guess. I've had similar happen, and that's what it was about. So it's no wonder to me that you felt so good afterwards. Of course, it never hurts to get the blood flowing, haha.

I guess the energies were hitting me after all....I didn't mean it quite like that.
We are all showing our true colors these days...
which are we want to get it right, and do our very best.

I must say, I loved that post of yours...and the point you made about fresh starts.....
we've all suffered so much....

"Changing Seasons" - Part I

Signs of Fall

burnt roasted pumpkin seeds
barn fires on the beach
dusting off ice fishing gear
squirt guns go on strike
kite battles in the skies
pack up summer shorts
unpack winter clothes
coats and hoodies
tailgate picnics and parties
mismatched colored mittens
two left mittens
pumpkin and spice muffins and pies
apple and spice muffins and pies


Signs of Spring

hugging the winter good bye
turtles hitchin' a ride by the road side
peeper frogs sending morse code to each other
Canadian geese flying the northward skies
green grasses instead of hay
honeysuckles kissing bumblebees
flowers sharing their smells of joy
campfires dancing the night away
pussy willows pop-out with fuzzy fur coats
showers and rainbows overtaking the sky
worms tilling soil for pumpkin seeds to grow

It wasn't a suffering post. It was a demonstration of taking action steps and not allowing anyone to stop one from defining one's own dreams.

But I'll be mindful of how others perceive change and temper.

[ulli]

When I'm 100% serious you all would feel it in an instant, even if your computers were turned off and unplugged.

So whatever I say, I'm coming from a variety of levels...
from totally detached soul level, where not even death matters....
to passionate obsessive-compulsive perfectionistic lets-get-this-105%-right type of anal idiocy.

[RunningDeer]

My power of comprehension is shot. The brain is tired, so I'll wish all a good night.

I took down some more. It's hard to know what triggers sadness in another. So I'll ask 1inMany not to review past post and I'll be mindful in the future.

Feel free to past the post # along and I'll remove them.

Peace,
Paula

I still maintain I was being my usual playful self.

[Anchor]

LOL this all reminds me of a complex Q&A with RA

From: 69.17 , part of an answer contains this gem:

Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry. This is so in all aspects of the life experience. Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises.

So Paula is still learning how to speak ulli? Don't worry it took me a while, and I can even understand most of what Carmody says.....

Hi fellow villagers,
I still need to catch up on posts from the past two days, but I wanted to check in-- really feeling alone an stuck. Yesterday, my dad and I took Jonathan to meet with the DA to practice testifying in the courtroom--the whole thing was devastating. Jonathan when pressed to answer questions would start to fall apart and do everything he could to avoid talking about the actual abuse his father did. He even sai he didn't want to answer because it was embarrassing. The DA and children services believe the abuse happened, and were trying to get the charges filed before 10/1; which is when my husband has a hearing appealing the state/child protective services decision-- unfortunately for the simple reason Jonathan is too traumatized and too young testify to file the charges (which would have canceled the appeal hearing) and testifying at the state appeal hearing would be too traumatizing, the child protective services investigation that found the child abuse report to be indicated will be dismissed-- and my husband will not have it on his child abuse record.

So, now the DA has assured us that when Jonathan is able to testify in court they will proceed with filing the charges. Then on Oct. 11, we will have to go through the custody hearing. Apparently, the DA said the judge presiding over the custody hearing is the best for this situation and that she will testify that they believe the abuse happened and are delaying pressing charges until Jonathan can handle the courtroom and not be traumatized further. She also reassured me that even though the cps finding may be dismissed, the judge knows that it is only because of a technicality and will take into consieration the original finding. So with those facts I hopeful I will be able to keep my son safe from his father.

I know there has to be some plan or reason to why Jonathan could not do it now-- even though it seems like things aren't falling into place like I was hoping I have to trust and accept that they are falling right where they need to be.

And there have been other emotionally draining incidents the past couple days. My dad the only remaining close family member I have has been going through the antidepressant withdrawal process and has amplified his moodiness-- making him lash out at me especially saying the cruelest mean things. I can brush that stuff off, but because he was so angry with the whole court process and at what ex did, he also lashed out at Jonathan with the worst response. Fortunately, my son must have this shield thing going for him and only selectively heard the not so mean parts. Anyway, I need to get my family and I away from these emotional prisons--- just a few more 3d bureaucratic hoops to jump through to to be self-sufficient...so hop hop hop I go and moving on...

Now that is out and I can put some energy into developing the more spiritual parts of my self.

Hope the past couple days have been good for you-- I find out soon enough ...lol

Blessings,
Amanda

Beaver?

Beaver .....is off the scale stubborn. Beaver backs out of nothing. Give me dam, or give me death.

In Beaver's world, the two are literally the same.

Dam -- is life. No dam - is death.

capture and transplant is just about your only viable alternative, besides death. They don't know how to move, they only know how to make a dam, and survive.

edit:

Untold thousands have tried before you. Take heed of this warning.

Really! And yet it was Carmody that taught me double and triple speak...
not the other way round.

I do realize trust has to be earned, and maybe I have to wait a little longer.
Because if I insist that people understand and trust me
that might only increase their suspicion that I'm not being genuine and sincere.

True human life is Alchemical we need a catalyst to have Alchemy.

But back on topic....

I worked in a South Western art gallery for a time. Gave me a chance to meet the locals. The first piece of art I framed was a South Western water color painted in the style of a Bev Doolittle and given to me by one of the local art teachers. It had faces of the Ancestors painted in the background of mesas done in shades of beautiful twilight colors. I finished it with a deep corn flower blue matte and rustic red wood frame. I gave the painting to my brother.

Here are a some of Bev Doolittles' works.

yes, connections and premonition happen. it may have been the other way around. The knowing of Min1 about to possibly have a near miss. these echos travel both forward and backward in time, like ripples. Past is history, the record of the ripple. Premonition is the pre-echo.

Let me illustrate. I just had this happen. recall, those of you who may know, my grandmother passed a while back. An email from a few minutes ago, from/with my mother:

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

.....not taken care of other things yet,but I thought of this and was listening to it just before I read and during reading your email.

this bit of music has a history. I may have shared it before, or left it ...as it may have been a bit strong at the time.

According to legend, George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told Eddie Hazel during the recording session to imagine he had been told his mother was dead, but then learned that it was not true.[1] The result was the 10-minute guitar solo for which Hazel is most fondly remembered by many music critics and fans. Though several other musicians began the track playing, Clinton soon realized how powerful Hazel's solo was and faded them out so that the focus would be on Hazel's guitar. Critics have described the solo as "lengthy, mind-melting" and "an emotional apocalypse of sound."[5]

The entire track was recorded in one take. The solo is mostly played in a pentatonic minor scale in the key of E over another guitar track of a simple arpeggio. Hazel's solo was played through a fuzzbox and a Crybaby Wah wah pedal; some sections of the song utilize a delay effect. This style would be revisited later in Standing on the Verge of Getting It On on the track "Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts". A live version with full band accompaniment was released in 1997 on the album "Funkadelic Finest".
