Here and Now...What's Happening?

[PurpleLama]

Me and marital contracts, the first one was a misfire, but the second one hit the bullseye. I've reported in Fred's dream thread, how I started dreaming about lotusblossom about six months before we met at the end of '08. We first made contact over MySpace, and it turned out she lived a block away from where I work, and the rest, as they say, is history. Herstory might be a little different. :D

Good morning, afternoon, evening!

Marianne, love the steampunk deck! So glad you went back and got it. In explaining steampunk to an old friend, I mentioned how I loved the craftsmanship of the Victorian era combined with todays technology...still not getting it, I likened it to being 16 again, but knowing what you know now. The bulb finally lit...

Amandapoet, loved your poem...so glad you are writing again...progress...isn't it wonderful?

mod, I have no sad songs to sing lately myself. All really is well. Four marriages? And I'm cautious to admit I'm on #3...no more for me either...suffocation is not my thing. Not very good at discussing/reporting in to 'daddy' about every little thing...which usually ends up being a bfd on his part. My philosophy...'don't sweat the small stuff...and it's all small stuff.'

donk, betrayal is difficult to come to terms with, especially if you are like many of us who find trust does not come easy...you are stronger than you think. Process and let go. Sending all the peaceful, healing energies I can. This, too, shall pass...thank goodness it's not here to stay...

playdo, please come home...you are loved and greatly missed.

I'd love to respond to everyone now that I've caught up, but this would go on forever!

No complaints here...in a peaceful place in my heart these days...basking in the 'eye of the storm'. Neither the flares nor the energies seem to move me from my center. Am digging to find out the why and how of this...for when/if the time comes again that I end up being battered and blown about by situations and circumstances, I can find my way home.

Love you all.

ps...black tourmaline? Is that the one that absorbs negative energy?

[PurpleLama]

black tourmaline is good protection against mean energy, but also an excellent grounding stone for any energies that tend to overwhelm us

[Carmody]

Steampunk exists as it is the alternate timeline of humans being left to their own devices, regarding the understanding aether and aether technologies...and those technologies arising of their own accord in the appropriate time, with no suppression. that is their real orientation. As in, the industrial revolution, Maxwell's theorems, Faraday's prominence, aether technologies.

We are on a timeline of further suppression.

Thanks, PL.

Years ago, when work was slow, I took a day job as manager of a factory outlet store attached to the workshop that made pewter figurines.

My boss gave me the creeps...his negativity was overwhelming. A friend gave me 6 black stones, one quite large...the smaller ones for each corner of my desk, the large one to be placed front and center, and one to wear.

When he came into my office on the first day I placed them, I felt quite a big difference. After he left, my eyes were drawn to the large one...it was split in half!

I can't believe I did it. I can't believe it. I did it. No Effexor this morning. I can't believe it. I'm sitting here, not being struck by lightening or anything haha.

Okay, I do feel weird, but maybe that's the new normal. We all know I'm weird anyway lol.

That was worded all wrong. WE did it. It was a group effort, and there is no way "I" could have accomplished this. I am grateful to have such dear ones around Me.

WOO WOOT!!!! HOORAY!!!
If I was on my laptop I would attach some awesome picture in celebration, so some alternative emoticons will have to do!


Love your courageous soul 1Inmany! Been keeping you and your family in my thoughts...

I have a selenite ball, which popped in my hand but remained intact, when I wad doing some healing work on a friend, beaming energy through it. A year later, that same friend was with me on the porch when I was doing some working, it was night time and there were candles going. I had the ball out and I picked it up and was about to do something with it, when my friend let out a "Holy Sh!t!" The ball had passed in front of the candles in such a way that the light shone through the ball, and she saw the face. It's like a hologram in the ball, when you turn the ball, the face turns, and from one particular angle, the face comes into focus, so you can clearly see some fine details, the beard, the mouth, the nose, the very pupils of the eyes, and, I kid you not, the crown of thorns on the head.

[1inMany]

That's amazing, PL! Did you know the face would be in it before you got the rock? Or was that a surprise?

I was looking through my little white dish to find the one aquamarine I know I have somewhere. I found this little assortment, and I'm hoping y'all can help me identify them.



I think the one at the top is blue lace agate, and the brownish gold ones are amber. But the other green ones I cannot identify. The tiny dark green pieces seem to have rods and pokeys all over them. There is one here, I don't know if it will show up, that is really sparkly...

Anyway, doesn't hurt to ask...

Love,

p.s...Thanks, Amanda, that was fun

p.s.p.s...PL, is that how healing is done with stones? Energy through the stones?

The Journey from Material Wealth to Spiritual Wealth

It's a Universal Theme. We each have or are living through or will live through this aspect of transformation.

About 12 years ago I had a mortgage free home and a tenured teaching position. I quit my job and sold my house to move from FL to OR and purchased a townhouse. A friend bought it as an investment several years ago as I needed the equity as cash. Now I'm broke and living in my rv and scraping for rent for a space while showering in campground bathrooms.

My friend's other house got foreclosed and he moved into mine with the person who engineered the original transaction. It is quite the situation.

All that said, I'm poised to live my dream come true. I've authored many books and I self-published 3 of them so far. I just moved out of state (simply by driving my RV-LOL) and through guidance and a wing and a prayer, I'm heading out to "get the show on the road."

My mom expressed her concern about "losing my nest egg" when I left FL and I said that if I cashed in my material wealth for spiritual wealth it would be worth it. And here I sit, feeling like a spiritual tycoon. I feel like the kind of wealth I have now is something I can take with me... Because it is me. It is what I have become as a result of all of the trials and tribulations, including harsh betrayals.

And for all the people who played a part--only appreciation and love. They helped me get here.

I'm not done processing the latest betrayal. It nearly sent me over the edge. But I am stronger now, and so are you. We are ready for our next step. We have been prepared and qualified.

All is well, and it's time to move on.
Let's shake the dust off our feet and keep trekkin'!!!

This is a great forum to provide and gather understanding which helps to make us braver and stronger.

Lots of Love,
Michelle Marie

I just came across this water filter product, it looks great and also very well priced!

The page you link to says "stores indefinitely". I'm pretty sure this is misleading. Other pages that sell the Lifestraw(r) state:

Shelf Life: 5 years when stored at room temperature. (Product package may state shelf life of 3 years, but this will be corrected on newer packaging. The actual shelf life is 5 years.)

Until recently, it had a shelf life of 3 years (stored at a temperature below 30C.) If you intend to put it to use fairly soon, that's plenty of time. But if you intend to put it away for "that special emergency", as I did several years ago, that's a surprisingly short time. As best as I can figure, it's the lubricant on the seals that has the limited shelf life.

Also note that it does not filter chemicals, salt, viruses, heavy metals. It does filter protozoa, bacteria and dirt.

offers some interesting stuff but seems to have tailed off in around 2007. It suggests, as I do, that we look at future dates that reproduce the horoscope for 1859. But it doesn’t offer any…

.

Normally there are two solar eclipses in a year, sometimes three, maximum five.
The Carrington event of 1859 had the eclipse conjunct Mercury (within 2 degrees...) and a near right angle to Uranus (87 degrees)
There was also a 150 degree angle between Neptune and Venus, although I doubt whether that would have factored into the event.
So to find a solar eclipse event to coincide with a square from Uranus would mean plowing through many years...who wants to do it?
The 2012 solar eclipses in May and November of 2012 show no significant right angles.
Here is November 13, 2012

Hi folks,
I haven't been posting for a few days. Here's some energy from me for you guys who have been having a rough time of late

If a major CME has an astrological signature, and this signature is not due again in the next couple of years, no need to look any further, we can look forward to that many years with one less thing to worry about. That was my point in bringing up the subject in the first place.

We need to stop crossing bridges we'll never come to. Worrying when there is nothing to worry about is called fear. Worrying when there may be something to worry about is called crossing a bridge, i.e. staying grounded when your normal grounding is momentarily absent.

I sometimes get vertigo on these huge suspension bridges they build these days - but I don't get my feet wet

[astrid]

Hmmm .... Thanks Paul
Guess the fine print is worth reading afterall
Will stick to my Berkey then

I went all out and even bought the fluoride removing
filters, can't tell you what a difference of makes to drink
clean water again . It's certainly worth the expense, my
usual wayward focus has been so much better .

Here and now , 3.33am and I'm baking bread tonight.
Home stone ground spelt flour with spouted linseeds .
And the loaves have turned out superbly , best effort
so far . Just about to pull the last ones out then time
to sleep

Night all

Much Chemical Free Love Today,

If you get to a place where you feel that you need an antidepressant, how about going herbal? CBD is a non-psychoactive "cannabinoid" from cannabis that interacts with our body's "endo-cannabinoid" system, and is getting reports of numerous benefits, including antidepressant action. Here's a link jumping to a post in a thread that may be interesting:

BYW, in my opinion, "weird" is much better than "normal." :~)

In my life weird IS normal!!! LOL

I've been learning a lot about the benefits of hemp oil. They are so many and still being discovered through experience by many who are no longer participating in the programmed belief system that supports the Profits of the chemical mfg/pushers.

Here is one video that discusses hemp oil for those who are interested in learning or acquiring the particulars of it.

I feel that it really helps the transformation process in many, many ways. Clearing, healing, etc. Each individual can follow their inner guidance to make individual choices. We each have to live according to our own values without im

[Michelle Marie]

Without imposing it on others or using it to judge others.

Just gather information and make the wisest personal choice. I just had to stand in my integrity and speak my truth about a choice I made, so that's why I emphasized this.

Sorry, I'm on my iPhone and hit "reply" prematurely by mistake.

All is Well,
Michelle Marie

[Michelle Marie]

I'm not great at uploading videos, especially on my iPhone. But if it didn't work, just search for Aamann Degarth on YouTube. He and Rick Simpson are the pioneers, as far as I know at this point, on the hemp oil healing.

Blessings,
Michelle Marie

With the exception of salted butter, hemp oil is all we use to cook at my house. Hemp seeds have become my toddler's favorite snack, as well.
