Here and Now...What's Happening?

[1inMany]

Lots of stuff here, I decided to share it because I have a hunch some of you might be interested

The Return of the Divine Feminine

Saturn is moving out of Libra today - it has been there for 2 and a half years. Many people frown on Saturn because it is restrictive, limiting and disciplinary, but that is leaning more towards the afflicted Saturn.

With the help of Uranus squaring Pluto, Saturn is allowing Consciousness altering breakthroughs that will help us to deeply see what our World, ourselves and humanity needs most.

IF we look to someone else to decide this for us - we are missing the mark and not working on developing self-awareness, intuition and discernment and this is crucial during this time. We must become personally empowered in our own truth because where our power is and where our intention and beliefs are - determines what timeline we are on.

Service to others and allowing Spirit to inhabit the human vessel - thinking from the Heart and increasing the Universal Love & Wisdom energy from within, is just a necessary foundation to begin with to avoid timelines that are less than desirable or liberating.

Saturn afflicted in our World today has to do with the false authority structures, control agendas and repressive forces. When we work with Saturn though and release ourselves from the afflicted version that we are up against in the outer World - we find that its attributes can be utilized in a most positive way, especially when it transits, enters our sign or is dominant in our charts.

It is all about refining ourselves, helping us to stand in our mission and in our Power - it helps with boundaries and for us to cut away energies and people that no longer are healthy for our life-path, so we can then draw in those we can really commit and devote ourselves to...

It allows us to finally Master the forces that have constricted us or made us insecure or the feeling of being beaten down, silenced, or blocked.

It limits our desire for excess, it assists us to see who we truly are, by pulling us into more self-responsibility, it disciplines us to change worn out habits and negative patterns and It helps us to take that old voice of authority and return it to Gaia and Cosmos, so that we can really utilize the positive polarity of Saturn and then allow it to work in our World to create change.

In doing this we get closer and closer to moving into the center of the Wheel, awakening to our Wholeness and natural Divine essence, that the zodiac helps us as a map to find - so that we can then liberate ourselves from the Wheel.

In the two and a half years Saturn was in my Sun sign Libra - it did all those amazing things for me and I thank Saturn so deeply for the tough love - it is really a part of ourselves that is ready to show up!

Now it is moving into Scorpio - so allow it to work for you, it will be highlighting areas of ones life related to power, death, re-birth, sexual energy, transformation - it will help you bring in a higher energy and expression. Allow its disciplinary nature and its teacher quality, to show you how these forces are best worked with, rather than the way the afflicted Saturn and false authority structures and social conditionings have taught or influenced us.

These planets help our inner work and they don't help us when we count on the outer world for answers, that is why it is a blessing when we can come face to face with it - because its highest octave is always the force that wants our attention and that comes from the Cosmic intelligence of the Creator - not the perverted afflicted intelligence of the illuminati- that can serve as a dark teacher, but only up to a certain point.

We are the ones to take the afflicted negative polarity of how these planetary forces have been used and turn it into its highest expression for ultimate freedom! That is why it is awesome to be challenged in life - it allows you to make the most potent choices for your journey, so choose the higher road and allow the inner guidance to show you the way by getting to know yourself deeply inwardly and Spiritually.

Just seen that, another case of ridiculously contemptuous and bold words of a prominent politician - in your face.

In Germany there are elections this year as well.

Peer Steinbrück, the designated challenger of Chancellor Merkel gets asked why he wants to become chancellor.

His answer is quite revealing: "Ambition, vanity, recognition. I'm just like an average viewer of this show."

No, I would have marched it off somewhere. But spiders usually have their own space. If it had got in bed with us, like yours did, I would have definitely done something though, so I am not criticizing in any way.

I love spiders. They catch the mosquitoes sometimes in their webs. If one is scary to me I catch it and put it outside.

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.

I wouldn't worry about it. I had even forgot about last weekend. Clearly the thread is alive and well and proved stronger than the anti-energies. Its a good thread. I am glad I found it. I just spent the last hour wondering through this village and saw birds and gentle streams, a cool Beatles video and a bunch of people waving Hi to each other. Can't think of a better place to be on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

So that gif I posted on the previous page of the merging galaxies led me to hunt a bit further.
Here we find not only two galaxies dancing together into a single one, but a group.
Gives the word cluster f*ck an entirely new meaning. (I'm not a swinger, and shame on all those who have a dirty mind! ;-))

as I said a while back on some thread, galaxies don't collide, maybe they make love, and we are like some uncomprehending child

Signs of the times...sex and violence...

how about MERGE... ?
(oh no, thats what big business does)

...is there any way of expressing this blending process with a more neutral association?

We use words to communicate - we have to use words to do so in a forum. Sad to me that people attach to trending word associations and then eliminate the word from usage even though in some instances that word may very well be the best word to apply.

Words are just words - pointers at best to what can't be spoken.

I was recently invited to join another forum. I wrote back and stated I had fantasized in the past what it might be like to be involved in this forum. The forum creator didn't write back and so I wrote back again. When I finally got the reply I realized that because I used the word "fantasize" this forum owner seemed to think I meant the word in some sexual way and perhaps even towards her! Now I may have taken the response incorrectly but I realized my decision to only put my time and energy into Avalon is the best idea anyways and am now glad I did not bite. Still... words. Anyways, I am having good days these days and decided it was a good time to stop by the village and enjoy other quantum beings. Enjoy the end of the day (to those in the west)! Chester

[Flash]

Talking of communication, my daughter is presently, at this very moment, reading a book and truly enjoying it, stopping to tell me the story and what she thinks the unforlment will be (mystery novel), while I am writing here.

I am soooooo glad that she now truly enjoys reading even if it demands quite a lot of efforts from her, and that she is sharing it with me. Soooo glad you would not believe how happy and hopeful for her it makes me, knowing where she started from.

Your tree Astrid is famous and cherished. Even has its own Wikipedia citation.

The Angel Oak is a Southern live oak tree located in Angel Oak Park, in Charleston, South Carolina, on Johns Island, one of South Carolina's Sea Islands. It is estimated to be 300-400 years old, stands 65 ft (20 m) tall, measures 28 ft (8.5 m) in circumference, and shades with its crown an area of 17,000 square feet (1,600 m2).[1] Its widest crown spread point-to-point is 180 ft, which is longer than any other live oak in the country. Its longest limb is 105 feet (32 m) in length. The tree and surrounding park have been owned by the city of Charleston since 1991.[2]

Other sites have it as being much older -as old as 1500 years. http://www.angeloaktree.com/

Check out this one (I visited her several times) - really gives one an immense sense of peace and for me, humility, as she has lived at least 10 times linger than I likely will.

Good news...Jim and Fatima, and several of her family members, have left Turkey and are on their way to the states. Looking forward to seeing them...Jim says things are not as we are being told (quick! look surprised!). Thank you so much for your prayers and intentions.

In the midst of a very busy day yesterday, I decided to take a little time for myself. Stopped in at a walk-in hair salon for a trim of dead ends....and walked out with hair 12 inches shorter. Turns out they work with Locks of Love...a group that takes donated hair and makes real hair wigs for women with cancer who are left bald after chemo. I still have shoulder length hair...feels very strange...but it will grow back.

I really like Mod's idea of having "ways" instead of "rules". We've come through a difficult time with a clearer idea of who we are as a Village, gathering together as tho' called for a greater purpose, and a path of healing and miracles set before us if we so choose to walk it together...all under ulli's vision of what we could be and do...yes, the title "ulli, Village Sage" fits rather well.

The Way of the Village...mutual respect...sharing each others growth, healing, and acceptance...clarity in our words and understandings...

I'll stop there...not very coherent nor poetic after only 4 hours sleep.

Damn, this thing posted before I was ready. Don't you hate that!

Everything has its place... suggestions, ways, guidelines, rules, etc. they all come into play. After the divorce of my first wife, the awesome Lucifera (as I lovingly refer to her), I discovered how one can actually show love in the form of one single, simple two letter word - "No."

For me, the link in the adverts, was 'ask.com', and the question was..."who really shot JFK?".

My, my, how things change.

19 tequilas later, we had a deal...

hahahah Carmody - I just posted in the thread you linked above... my post # was 19

Its fun to be a quantum being just being quantum. Chester

Here and Now....
It's just after dark high up on a mountain, here I am, dancing with 120 other people at a family birthday party.
The lights of San Jose in the distance...and even the crickets are dancing the merengue...

We should introduce Lucifera to my second ex-husband, Satan in a Business Suit...and I mean that in the nicest way.

I "feel" your party over here in San Jose - I am happy you are able to be with so many of your friends and family in that type of venue... has to be magical - its a great cool evening here near Parque La Sabana just east of Escazu.

Reading a book my daughter gave me the other day that dips into a century of French Secret Service files. Here are a couple of items: useless information but neat synchronicities

There is a file on the WWI carrier pigeons I mentioned a while back. My info came from a visit to Douaumont near Verdun about 7 years ago. This file describes the ‘Pearson’ method of parachuting pigeons behind enemy lines from eg Sopwith Camels, and puzzlement over strings of tiny holes on some of their feathers (injury or code?). The most famous of the estimated 300,000 WWI pigeons was General Pershing’s Bel Ami, which was decorated for saving a US infantry division in October, and is preserved at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington. Useless information, I did warn you.

Another file relates to my recent allusion to ‘Heanzes beanzes’ as we used to call them (I never touched them myself ). Apparently there was great concern over the firm of Maggi (pronounced ‘magie’, French for magic), producers of cubes of meat stock, and reported to the government as being a ‘Franco-Boche’ corporation. The advertising campaign since 1908 had been selling the Kub called the ‘K’, and emphasizing this particularity of German spelling. It became the subject of popular fiction, and the appearance of numerous metal advertising plaques allegedly marked the route to be taken by a German invasion, with secret intel supposedly inscribed on the reverse side!

Here is something you may not know: the Cubist art movement got its name generally from the cubic shapes in the paintings of Picasso and Braque, but more specifically from the Maggi Kub in Picasso’s Landscape with Posters
http://blistar.net/photos/1070-97#

The Maggi cube is still going strong a century later, but nowadays the emphasis is on the magic. Maybe the magic is to do with the Franco-German element. The European Union gest a bad press in the alternative media these days, but I’d like to emphasize something positive about it. It was originally conceived, at least by the idealists in the mix, as a way to stop the endless wars between the French and the Germans. By that yardstick, the enterprise has been an astounding success, as the very idea has now become totally unthinkable. Over 100 million people have gradually taken on board that very difficult lesson, ‘Love your enemy’. We need something like that in the Middle East.

[ulli]

Countries have been forming blocks, or trade-free regions, all over the globe.
As well as the European Community you have Caricom....The Caribbean version.
I know there are others, but I only know about how Caricom was formed,
and the subsequent improvements as well as frustrations this brought to the Caribbean region.
Avalon has had a similar process happen...people have started to form alliances, groups....some have even referred to the word " cliques" on my satirical thread which I had called The Daily Hammer, and which is now lost somewhere.
They appeared to be quite upset that such cliques existed, perhaps they were feeling left out. I thought that maybe some were referring to the Village, but after a while realized I was being paranoid...they meant different groups. Anyway...I was not aware of this as I had focused more on the Village than elsewhere. Anyhow, the fact is, there are always processes going on. Nothing remains static. The fact that alliances come about cannot be denied...the question arises, what is the spirit identity of each such alliance. How can they be defined, and how do they differ from one another?
It has became clear to me that some deal with processing ET reality, others process individual healing, while we here have been practicing with something more far out, namely weather control. And this had to have brought us some attention from high places and subsequently a whole new ball game. The old Village is dead. Long live the Village.

I finally had time to watch this clip. Only after the second time did I see it in the proper context, and understood what this was about. It was a tongue-in-cheek reply...a bit of sarcasm there...which in some countries is considered culturally ok, while in others it is not, but taken at face value.

A SNL (Saturday Night Live) type of TV show, where they cut a clip from an interview with the candidate, then took his reply to the question 'why was he running for office' which was "ambition, vanity, recognition...just like the average viewer of this show" ...he had clearly said this as a joke,
but then the show put the pieces together in a new way, and gave it the semi-serious angle when the guy on the plane says at the end..."How can he say that??? Its about the country, not the people!!!
Public viewer manipulation. One either gets the joke or one doesn't. Depends on perspective.
I'm against campaigning, period.

We have three sons - three of the coolest dudes around. She also has been a great Mom in her "special way." She has also been my greatest teacher too (without a doubt).

She is also Queen Witch Incarnate of all the MultiVerse and Beyond. Gotta love her, Goddess Lucifera...

"I always love you, Baby" - she knows that though and hates it too... hahaha I am sure she'll win the next round.

Here and now...what's happening?
It is 6:40 am and inside my home it is incredibly peaceful. Husband in bed next to me, with his iPad, reading some Spanish language website on Freemasonry, and occasionally sharing what he is reading.
While I'm trying to collect some thoughts I had earlier on the meaning of context and consequence...
both of which are really important to me. I found that most clashes happen when either one of those two is not being considered.
Context can be seen summed up in the question "where am I now, in relation of the greater whole?"
And 'consequence' is about the flow and the direction of one's intent, like
"What might happen if I were to choose this path rather than that one?" when faced with a fork in the road.
If each of us were to ask ourselves either one of those two questions and contemplated an answer we could have a smoother ground for our relationships.
