Here and Now...What's Happening?

[PurpleLama]

Nora, it's the first one.

Saw a funny thing, once, someone had made voice prints of someone pronouncing the names of the letters of the hebrew alphabet, and the prints bore a striking resemblance to the shapes of the letters themselves.

So my thoughts were how domesticated animals are sooooo much like us. Imposing artiifcial borders, gaining a (false?) sense of security from (our own?) space, respecting these artficial constructs. I am fairly certain it would take her a loooong time to build up the courage to go outside even if we left the door open.

I find this observation incredibly profound.

Personally, I can accept borders as a protection shield one moment and as a cage the next.
That perception then determines the next event that comes at me, or not.
So is it a choice between battle or boredom?
Any other alternative?

If I'm in my happy place, it is neither battle nor boredom. Peace. Silence. Those are the adjective, I'd use. But ask me tomorrow... (and if I understand full meaning of the question)

A friend expressed it to me this way. He said, consider that you reach a fork in the road. Down one side is a completely honest place, and down the other branch, is a place that the beings there, will lie in the face of any situation.

And at this crossroads, is a person. What is the one question you can ask that person, that tells you which way to go, to get to the honest place?

"Which way is home?", is the correct question, as the truthful one will point to home and the liar will point to 'not home'. Both pointing to the same place.

In the same way, you have to find the one action that clears both dilemmas. Which in this case, is the clearing of the self.

The trouble is when it is not a 100% liar but a disinfo agent. What then?

And what happens when you get the two of them together? You might get something like the exchange between Socrates and Plato.

Socrates says, What Plato is about to say is true. And Plato says, What Socrates has just said is false.

Yes, you understood perfectly.
Earlier this morning this idea came clearly into my head,
namely how to introduce the flow of time into this conversation.
The idea of the tides came to me, and how on a Monday we may see beyond the horizon as we are surfing high waves,
and on Tuesday the tide is out by the time we get to the beach and we are sitting on exposed sand, littered with driftwood, where before there had been surf breaking.
So with these shifting scenarios our own activity and movement is tempered.
This os where astrology comes in, with great explanations about the ebb and flow of time.
Can't urge people enough to read up on it as much as possible.

I think it is just that we are so easily programmable, in such subtle ways, that we don't realize.

The lil' bun was in a much different situation...a cage too small for it. It was both, for her. It kept her safe, but prevented any kind of life. I should have video taped her progression from the moment she experienced freedom to now, her growth was amazing.

I inadvertently put her in another one midway through. The girls had a problem with her pooping everywhere when her litter box filled (she fills it faster than the two buns I last had used to together, one was 10+ lbs!...that's prob cuz she was used to the sh!t food her sh!t owners used to give her, i started feeding her bunny food--aka vegetation, rather than just crunchy junk nuggets). I put her in the basement (with her [open] cage, for familiarity), thinking she would be happy having a HUGE zone. When I went down to get her the next morning, she had not moved. She spent the night in terror--of the air condtioner or the dank basement-ness, or the nasty shadow dude that we are working to get rid of...or some combo or something else entirely.

Point is, I never felt so horrible in a long long time. Fear is the cage. The alternative is love. I gave her tons and bunches after that. And when the girls found out, they adjusted their "fear" of lil veggie resin ball bunny poops...it was a good lesson to teach them (very materialistic, programmed by the worst of American culture), how other beings feelings trump every material thing any day. But even I, before I met my ex, probably would not have thought of it that way...we are taught that pets are our possessions (this is the gist of my "slave" bad joke I started with), and that if they eff up our real (read: purchased) possessions, they gotta go.

I had to be taught that animals' feelings count, and you "own" a pet, you are responsible for that. It seems so obvious, and prob is to almost everyone here, but I wonder how many of us were originally taught the psychopathic "ownership society" mentality of treatment of animals (ie- dog don't act right, eats your slippers or whatever, GIT RID OF IT!).

[donk]

And back to your original point..."as above, so below"...how many of us treat ourselves--and other people, the same way?

The letters of the Hebrew alphabet....
did anyone ever see the work of Stanley Tenen who in 1968 figured out how the origins of this alphabet had to do with sacred geometry and moving ribbons.
Unfortunately all of his work was stolen by one Dan Winter, who goes all over Europe giving seminars and presenting the work as his own, which in turn only serves to discredit the whole New Age movement further by muddying the waters.
We can't be vigilant enough in our investigation of truth.


GEOMETRIC METAPHORS OF LIFE

"In 1968 Stan Tenen discovered a pattern in the arrangement of letters in the first verse of the Hebrew text of Genesis. He spent the next 35 years investigating the meaning of that pattern. This incredible journey of scientific, religious and mathematical discovery was first released to the public in San Francisco in 1989. This groundbreaking lecture is available on our best selling DVD, Geometric Metaphors of Life. The development of Meru Foundation research through the following decades is presented in our DVD lecture series and printed materials
- all available on this website."

As a child my mind worked only in images and symbols. Some of our existing symbols lined up with what naturally occurred in my head before I knew those symbols as representations by man. An example is whenever I had to relate time within a "year" - the year had a shape,it was basically an "infinity" symbol and different parts of this symbol representing different "seasons" -- months and days were less important but had their general markers. Now that I think back the infinity symbol represented a continuous loop of the earth around the sun. So whenever I needed to consider "spring" - rather than some linguistic thought, my mind would spring forth this symbol of the year and highlight the "spring" section and place makers for months, roughly, as I didn't really understand the conventional calendar that well. This visual made much more sense to me.

Keep in mind I was very young when this started happening, like I said, I didn't really even understand the calendar that well at the time. I learned that afterward.

I am also brought to thinking that letters and words represent sounds -- not the other way around -- the sound is first, then the symbol that represents it. All is vibration and therefore the vibration of a word comes before the label, the words and letters themselves are the labels for the vibrations (at least that is how it started).

Bringing one more element to this train of thought -- the work of Dr. Emoto and water, and the vibrations that are symbolized by crystallizing the water to reveal the pattern of vibration which it holds. The vibration is the real element, the crystalline representation is the label.

All is tied together or is sourced from .. vibration.

Bringing perception into the mix, what does one see?
Heated discussion?
Two old bearded guys in a Turkish bath?
Circular argument?
There are no absolutes?
Or, how about:
lets not be distracted here...there are people messing with our heads.

I'll stay with the final one. Thanks araucaria, you are the true oracle.

Here and Now,
contemplating the current situation in Turkey and wishing that all those who have been holding the energies in this Village
can now practice what we have been training for:
as below, so above.
May all those who want this crisis to escalate further have their hands tied, and plots decimated.
May all those who wish for stability and a peaceful resolution be given added strength.

As above, so below. Done

[Flash]

The light is all around Turkey, may be it should be in it too.

Turkey's economy is booming. They surely do not want a war. But being surrounded by difficult neighbors, they have to show their muscles once in a while. I hope they are not being used to conquer Syria, which could be the case, having to bow to pressure.

Thanks White Crow Black Deer.

Hi guys. Would love some reiki myself if somebody wouldn't mind. I booked a days holiday off work as I have lots to do but have woken up with a monstrous headache which I can't shift. Too shaky to reiki myself and am always receptive to outside help. Thanks in advance.

Hey LisaB,

It's Wednesday night my time, just catching up on the thread. Headache gone? I hope your are feeling better, and I would like to have caught your post earlier than now to meet your request. Might as well go ahead and do it anyways!

[ulli]

Balancing the energies.




Let us not forget that things are not always as they seem. Let us also remember that we are powerful, and that we all can make a difference.
This Village has been in training for more than a year, and the moment when our collective energy will have an impact might be getting near.
Do we want to direct our love and energy towards a peaceful outcome of the current crisis,
or are we allowing it to be syphoned off by forces which may not have humanity's best interest at heart?
Calling for discernment here, as well as common sense.

After studying Plato, I had to entertain the thought Socrates was merely a character that Plato invented for his literature, and then go back and read the works through that filter: a modus operandi. Much as Francis Bacon, and a possible consortium of initiates, wrote the Shakespearian plays. Still haven't gone back to read those within that filter. Just don't have the time for Shakespeare these days..... Anyone, please correct me if I am wrong, but Socrates was not accounted for in any other record or literature other than Plato?
