    The destruction of the planet is a side issue, imo.

    There are those who have kept the true history of our planet...some call them tptb, some call them controllers. Doesn't matter what we call them...there is a war on, in case no one has noticed.

    There will be earth changes due to the cycle we're in...happens every 26,000 years. The only question is how bad is it going to be...it could be devastating or could be a blip...we just don't know. The sun is changing...the planet is changing...we are changing....evolution is happening right before our eyes.

    Those who have been attempting control have known about this for ages. imo, they are taking advantage of these changes to create a global society with a lot less of us 'goyim'/'useless eaters'/'sheeple'. We have grown in numbers large enough that loss of control is a very real possibility for them...they have seen the need to pare the population down to those who are most easily controlled for their own benefit.

    So the question before them was, 'how do we eliminate billions of people, save ourselves from the coming earth changes, and come out the other side with only the number of amenable slaves for our needs...and do this without bringing attention to ourselves?' The answer is, of course, 'we can poison the water they drink, the food they eat, the very air they breathe...we can sterilize them through vaccines...we can lower the oxygen levels by destroying large swaths of forest...we can set up nuclear power plants on fault lines, and weaken those lines through fracking and by burying highly combustible materials...etc." Of course, those things may descimate the population and destroy the planet, but the planet is going to be changed anyway, so why worry about it.

    The survival of billions of people is at stake. Either we work together to expose them and their plans or we will all suffer the consequences in one way or another.

    And yet, we are divided... and weakened by such division...some of it through their manipulation, but some of it because of our own egos and pride.

    I believe I'm here to bridge the gaps between people...to bring reconciliation where there is disagreement and division...in my own small way. Sometimes through example as to how that can be done...each situation calling for its own method.

    There is no one coming to save us. We are the ones we have been waiting for. How many times have we either heard those statements or made them ourselves? And yet, we allow the smallest of things come between us.

    The situation we face is much too large to allow petty bickering and disagreements to side-track what needs to be done here. Our very lives are at stake. United we can make a difference...divided, well, you know the rest.

    Am I doing enough? It never feels like it, but all I can do is keep trying.
    Yay! Did it!

    The last part of the post was written to speak to that thread topic specificallly...there is so much more we can do imo.

    Thanks for the suggestion to repost it here, Ulli.


    Edit: I did make two minor changes in the original post for clarity.

    Funny, it reminded me of the spirograph I played with for hours as a kid. Love it!

    Cool graphics!

    Re:
    Sun's motion:
    The "picture" gets even more complicated when considering this solar system as a binary system:



    The above would explain why the sun keeps bopping above and below the galactic ecliptic with a slanted binary orbit with respect to that galactic plane; only the barycenter of that binary system follows along the galactic plane.

    Along with that binary hypothesis comes the origin for these legendary asteroids/meteorites pummeling of this solar system:


    However, from the recorded periodicities of these meteorite/asteroid downpours, it is suspected that this solar system may in fact be part of a ternary system due to two distinct periodic occurrences... headache anyone?

    Ooops... forgot... hello all!

    Have fun......
    Apple iPads still no can do applets...sigh....

    But very happy with Amzer Zo's contribution of that binary system....this must be the one the Dogon tribe of Africa know about.

    I've been getting this idea that as the celestial event comes nearer those in tune will visit friends in the country, and then it's only a matter of being indoors for a few days and life will go on. Much improved I've been told.

    But gardening now is definitely the way to go...and making friends with country folk if you live in a big city.

I've just caught a nasty cold almost instantly doing exactly that - I'm allergic to the microscopic fungi in paper more than 5-10 years old. I now have two problems: I'm not feeling too good, and I've got another book I can't read. This is an unavoidable everyday situation. Any suggestions anyone?
    Many thanks, but Caycean glyco thingy is unobtainable locally here. The chemist's eyes glazed over like mine are already.

    A propos, Ulli, you wouldn't care to provide a full word picture of your applet for a blind man? It'd make interesting reading

    No, I thought you wouldn't.

    This one's heart has been gladdened.
    And if anyone here is missing water or dampness they can always go and drink from the trough that Carmody so generously donated.
    The first applet on the list, it is called Ripple Tank...
    just dive right in. Lots of options. (and it does have an iPad version)
    Wow...one can even splash about, if one wants, by wiggling the mouse....

    (Still thinking of that wicked, evil grin on Carmody's face when he dropped this in our mailbox.....)
    Now back to my applet jacuzzi....

    Hello. Just want to say thanks for enriching my life and the lives of others.

    While I'm not comfortable sharing a whole lot about myself on Avalon for various reasons, I appreciate all of you very much.

    (For me, the Energetic Synthesis container feels like a safer and more resonant place to open up.)

    Here and now I'm eating lunch at work, where I've asked to reduce my hours. Need more time to focus on spiritual activities.

    Lots of changes happening!

    Love to all of you,

    Heather
    A lot of people have told me privately that they feel uncomfortable sharing about their lives.
    So I just want to stress again that no one has to reveal anything if they don't wish to.
    At least not something that makes them easily identifiable.
    Nor will anyone be judged for not washing their dirty linen in public. This is just not how it works.
    Each personal life style is unique.

    Personally I'm totally against confession, whether to a priest, a shrink, or a TV show.
    The moment one's misdeeds are put out there they can stay in other's minds as thought forms, and become memories,
    long after a person has made their transformation.
    There is nothing positive in giving more of one's energy to something that would have been better left to disintegrate.

    The healthy part of the exercise of sharing one's here and now
    (especially the mundane, apparently unimportant parts) is in what happens when you define that fine line
    where your public outer image begins and your private self ends.
    This is nobody's business to know, but as far as self knowledge exercises go it cannot be overestimated.
    And then there's clowns like me that are capable of exposing everything... "the art of exposing" is my next pursuit.

    I am not for or against "confession." For some folks, baring their soul is helpful, for others (who certainly have the right to keep secrets) it may not be. I found what works for me is being brutally honest, especially when I see the jerk I was (and surely once again will be) in the rear view mirror.

    What I discovered about me is that I am allergic to lying (especially to myself). But because I have always been a professional liar since I was about 6 years old, I have found the habit hard to break.

    Anyways - please, do not read my comment to suggest or imply anyone else should do what I have found works best for me. I am just pointing out my method - maybe this method may only work for me. Uh oh... maybe my method (if fully employed) might be "anti-relationship." I just received my second homework assignment for the day from "Spirit!" The first has been to study the Law of One series... I may have to stay outa the village for a few days - plate just got loaded up.

    Love to ALL and have a Great Day (and Great Afternoon and Evening to all my friends in the Center) and a Great Night and Early Morning to all my Friends in the East)!

    and thanks to our friend, Anchor - here's something cool about cats...

    Enjoy!

    Lots to say about the Ripple Tank Applet....first of all...
    This is at your own risk.
    the Village mayor will accept no responsibility for anyone ascending and leaving the planet forever.
    This is at your own risk...
    there, I had to say it twice.

    In this Ripple Tank you will find infinite variations and possibilities.
    Just playing with it for less than to minutes and I'm tripping out of my skull.

    So what is this...the ultimate distraction?
    Or is it one of those handheld gadgets that can easily decorate cakes as well as destroy entire galaxies?

    Hello. Just want to say thanks for enriching my life and the lives of others.

    While I'm not comfortable sharing a whole lot about myself on Avalon for various reasons, I appreciate all of you very much.

    (For me, the Energetic Synthesis container feels like a safer and more resonant place to open up.)

    Here and now I'm eating lunch at work, where I've asked to reduce my hours. Need more time to focus on spiritual activities.

    Lots of changes happening!

    Love to all of you,

    Heather
    A lot of people have told me privately that they feel uncomfortable sharing about their lives.
    So I just want to stress again that no one has to reveal anything if they don't wish to.
    At least not something that makes them easily identifiable.
    Nor will anyone be judged for not washing their dirty linen in public. This is just not how it works.
    Each personal life style is unique.

    Personally I'm totally against confession, whether to a priest, a shrink, or a TV show.
    The moment one's misdeeds are put out there they can stay in other's minds as thought forms, and become memories,
    long after a person has made their transformation.
    There is nothing positive in giving more of one's energy to something that would have been better left to disintegrate.

    The healthy part of the exercise of sharing one's here and now
    (especially the mundane, apparently unimportant parts) is in what happens when you define that fine line
    where your public outer image begins and your private self ends.
    This is nobody's business to know, but as far as self knowledge exercises go it cannot be overestimated.
    And then there's clowns like me that are capable of exposing everything... "the art of exposing" is my next pursuit.

    I am not for or against "confession." For some folks, baring their soul is helpful, for others (who certainly have the right to keep secrets) it may not be. I found what works for me is being brutally honest, especially when I see the jerk I was (and surely once again will be) in the rear view mirror.

    What I discovered about me is that I am allergic to lying (especially to myself). But because I have always been a professional liar since I was about 6 years old, I have found the habit hard to break.

    Anyways - please, do not read my comment to suggest or imply anyone else should do what I have found works best for me. I am just pointing out my method - maybe this method may only work for me. Uh oh... maybe my method (if fully employed) might be "anti-relationship." I just received my second homework assignment for the day from "Spirit!" The first has been to study the Law of One series... I may have to stay outa the village for a few days - plate just got loaded up.

    Love to ALL and have a Great Day (and Great Afternoon and Evening to all my friends in the Center) and a Great Night and Early Morning to all my Friends in the East)!

    and thanks to our friend, Anchor - here's something cool about cats...

    Enjoy!
    Don't leave until you have tried the link Carmody supplied up there...the first applet...Ripple Tank...
    then you won't need days for your digestion, but can do it all in hours, if not minutes.
    Time is speeding up....

    Alka Thyme or Glyco Thymoline. It will fix you right up, gargle with it, or put some on a clean washcloth and inhale it while perusing your most ancient of tomes.

    Stirring up the past. For me it is often a matter of opening a book. I've just caught a nasty cold almost instantly doing exactly that - I'm allergic to the microscopic fungi in paper more than 5-10 years old. I now have two problems: I'm not feeling too good, and I've got another book I can't read. This is an unavoidable everyday situation. Any suggestions anyone?
    Many thanks, but Caycean glyco thingy is unobtainable locally her. The chemist's eyes glazed over like mine are already.

    A propos, Ulli, you wouldn't care to provide a full word picture of your applet for a blind man? It'd make interesting reading

    No, I thought you wouldn't.
    Thanks for letting me off the hook. Phew...that was close....wiping sweat from brow.
    Let him who has eyes to see, see.
    Let me have a go then.

    The figure is a combination of a fixed part and a moving part.

    The fixed part: comprises two concentric circle, a small red one inside a larger blue one where the blue circle’s radius is equal to the red circle’s diameter. The vertical and horizontal diameters of the blue circle are drawn in blue. Concentric to this arrangement are four congruent, regular red ellipses whose short diameter is equal to that of the small red circle, and whose long diameter is equal to the sum of the diameters of the red and blue circles. The four ellipses are placed in a regular pattern, one horizontal, one vertical, the other two along the 45° diagonals.

    The moving part: comprises a blue circle congruent with the small fixed red circle, with two perpendicular black diameters drawn so as to extend out a further radius in distance and form a St Andrew’s cross. The four tips of the cross are marked with tiny circles, as is the cross’s central point of intersection, and the two points where one of the arms bisects the red circle are marked with larger circles possibly double in size.

    Movement: The small blue circle moves in a circular motion in an anticlockwise direction tangent to the large blue circle and tangent to the centre of the figure. Meanwhile the black cross rotates in a clockwise direction such that a) the path of the centre of the cross orbits along the line of the small red circle; and hence b) passes through the points where the small circle intersects the four ellipses; and hence c) passes through the points where the both small circle and the four ellipses intersect the blue cross; d) the four tips of the cross orbit along the elliptical trajectories drawn by the four ellipses; and e) the two larger circles at the points ¼ and ¾ along the length of one of the arms of the black cross slide respectively up and down and from side to side along the lines of the blue cross.

    Hence, by mounting two blue inkjets and five red ones onto the moving part at the circles, the moving part would redraw the entire fixed part once per rotation.

    I may have missed something, but that is ample to make anyone feel weird
