Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Carmody]

The beginning and middle stages of emergent clarity tend to drift toward feeling like insanity of a sort. Ie, the bigger the birth the more hectic and crazy the time in and of it's prelude. I don't recall it ever being any other way.

This is not here and now. This represents an intimate landscape about 1 mile away from me, and it was 2 days ago. Absorption into this was my medicine.



Love,

Dennis

Beautiful, Dennis, all your photos are breathtaking.

Yes.. but its all just a matter of were you direct said extra surges,
collect it , bring it into your heart space and direct it to where you would
prefer it to be, do it as a group and well now you are talking ..

Yup, Village team it is. Seen enuf miracles here to know this is true.

Speaking of miracles, my husband and I had two evenings worth of conversations and for the first time since I went down the rabbit hole, I was able to talk about woo woo stuff, without producing a rage of rejection. I asked him about one of his favorite authors, Philip K. Dick, because he came up in the 7th Seal Peter Moon book. We talked about the suicide pattern (Philip committed suicide), the Total Recall/Blade Runner connection to military or MKUltra crap, the divine "madness" of Philip etc. The next night we talked about another subject that lead around to the deliberate destruction of humans and the earth ...

Heavens. I suspect you have something to do with this Astrid. <tackling Astrid with thankfulness and joy, just call me a big galumphy friend of Louis>

This gif shows what happens when two disc galaxies merge...
how new worlds emerge after the initial clash (or dance...whichever way you want to look at it):



Im trying to stir this process at the thread level, trusting the ultimate outcome.
Some of us can see it will work, others have reservations as they are still attached to a variety of different models,
whether student_teacher, or everyone totally equal...some want anarchy, others (few) top down hierarchy.

What this thread is about only I as thread owner can define:
and some have already seen my model and believe in it, hence they have offered to support this venture.

Basically two ideologies are being blended here...merging just like these two disc galaxies.

Vertical Hierarchy with ulli as thread owner...or Village Mayor
and Horizontal Equality with ulli as simple Villager.
Anyone who wants either one without the other
or wants to remove me completely (not unheard of historically)
needs to form or find another thread on this vast forum.

So in love with trees

Astrid,

This kinda looks like the "Angel Oak" (the species is called "Live Oak") in South Carolina. Where is this stunningly magnificent tree?

That is the thing about clarity, you see sh1t you never noticed before and it has to be integrated ...

More pictures of the new family members ... (Martha likes clean sheets lol) (and they both like their new cat tree!)

Sierra brought up philiP k dick, who I have hard time reading (not my style) but have loved some of the movies based on his work.

Yesterday while donating my precious bOdily fluids at the bold bank, I watched the adjustment bureau (as mentioned in an Eva longren interview).... I just wanted to recommend the flick to the village...great movie about free will (or the illusion of it), and "true" love

It is a shame language and left brain processing require separating what is essentially one quality subsumed within the other. Healthy hierarchy has the aristocracy as a necessary part of a functioning whole where the system is in symbiosis, each with a designated, essential role. Control, more correctly establishing what is the conceived norm, of the situation only as the need arises. Unlike the private property tyranny of modern planetary management, this forum allows for disgruntled citizens to resettle, very easily. Creation of functioning villages is much easier said then done.

The Three of Wands

In this important time of change, I am prompted to share this, from Angelpaths:



This card - Lord of Virtue - represents a point of inner balance where we are clear about the things we want to create in our lives, and confident in our ability to make our dreams come true. Out of this clarity and confidence arises a new quality of self-reliance and happiness.

We develop a new understanding of our virtues, our skills, our talents; we have a better view of what we have to offer and what we need in return. We become more aware of ourselves, and more in harmony with the Powers of Light.

When this card comes up in your reading, it is important that you cast aside doubts and fears, refusing to fall back into old habits. Instead you must turn your face to the future, trusting in your own power, making no compromises. Trust yourself, and everything else will fall into place

Listening to the song of the forest and watching the golden shimmering light shine through the trees on a warm still morning.

Reminding my-self that I may have to duck as the in coming energies may not
be well received by some.

Take care of myself and pay attention to my own processes and transformations.

Lately, I have literally watched people's hair stand on end; react in fear and fight any transformation occurring within themselves.


@Dennis a synchronisty over the last few months I have been having dreams and receiving messages of water falls & horses. Now I am seeing them manifest in pictures and people have been sharing with me their old photographs of waterfalls in different geographical locations they have visited through the years.


Love

Nora

It's a question of experience and dedication for those who wish to impart their vision,
and for the individual Villagers it is a matter of willingness to abide by the rules which allow for the smooth flow of Village affairs.
So the attitude towards rules needs to be examined here...

If a country person comes to a city
they may at first have objections
every time they have to stop at a red traffic light.

What is in a word? A buttload of emotional triggers.

Rules? Ways? That 'feels' better.

Torah vs. Tao. I take the Tao.

Like a key structure in music, certain notes are dissonant. It is about vibrations. Nature and the Universe do not have rules, they have ways. The so called "laws of physics" are simply a codification of the ways of physics as observed. The Universe is in/at play. The rules of a game are simply to give the play some form. They are, more correctly, the ways of the game.

Why this short discourse on nomenclature? Mere semantics, no?

No! The emotional body is the primary filter for much of the planet. Words must pass through this filter, and few make it through untwisted. Disempowerment looks for anyplace to exert some impact on the world.

Ulli, rules make you a tyrant. Ways, make you a sage.

Your choice. A tough one for a Capricorn.

Much love to you.

[Marianne]

Ulli, it's that balance of individual ights vs. community rights. Tipped too much either way, it falls over.

Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.

Nora, please take care of yourself. You are in my prayers.

Sierra, your kitty cats are so fuzzy-adorable. I thought of getting Emily one of those carpeted climbing trees, but then i thought, she wouldn't be interested, she has a bunch of trees outdoors to play in ... maybe in the winter, she might come in more. I'm finding she's not a lap cat, but will permit me to hold her for a minute and stroke her fur. Then she's off again, for a solitary nap on the blankets or a hunt in the woods.

Astrid, what a gorgeous tree. We may all be in love with it! I'm waiting for the answer to Dennis' question, what is it?

Donk, what are some of the movies based on PKD's works? I've meant to read his works but haven't yet.

I must go find Tom Lescher's Pele report.

Love to all.

I can never please them all, can I?
In England I used to get this thrown at me all the time, and I wasn't even in charge of anything that I could call my own:

Ve haf our vayz and meanz...

Good to be in the village and forum for a visit. The road ahead calls.

Toodles.

One sentence here seems pretty opaque to me:

Disempowerment looks for anyplace to exert some impact on the world.

Disempowerment? What/whose disempowerment? The disempowerment that comes from downgrading 'rules' to 'ways'?

Care to elaborate for my Friday evening brain to understand?

Oh he's gone? My 20:12 post will go unanswered. Never mind.

Vayz and meanz of making people talk are not everybody's cup of tea. Vayz meanz 57 varieties ja?
