Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Carmody]

Ted Twietmeyer makes a comment on a website, of why specific versions of 'free energy' are dangerous in uneducated and unaware hands. The direct scalar emissive types, that use the incorrect polarization.

Thank you for your kind remarks! All my life I've been thinking outside the box. Years ago it became clear to me that the only way to make real progress and innovation is to think that way. Scalar energy has a downside - those that intentionally generate it and work near it have suffered a negative health impact. Tesla wanted to use scalar energy to power everything wirelessly. What he didn't understand is that it would quickly sicken the population. Scalar energy with sufficient power can alter DNA, too.

Reading the story, which is the cause of the remarks, is quite interesting.

Speaking for Benevolent Crow this is "Cadillac Coop de Ville"

Wow, that's a pretty coop, and looks very efficient, too! I'd be embarrassed to show mine next to that. My coop is purely functional and not aesthetic at all. I built mine by collecting random materials and junk I found laying around, you know, left over 2X4's, discarded wire fencing, old wooden palettes, and even a cast iron kitchen sink converted into two nesting boxes with a little hay. The only thing I purchased was synthetic, corrugated roofing material which was on sale at the hardware store because the pieces were damaged. It is truly a podunkoop. One day, when I have a bit of land, my ultimate dream, I will build a chicken tractor and let those chickens loose!

Here's today's Non Sequitur for all you cat lovers:

Edit: Ah, Baron von Münchhausen! That was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I haven't thought of that in years. Thanks for posting Carmody.

Eagles chickens go wherever they want. Their wanderings are a big part of their diet. BTW. Guineas are excellent at eating ticks from grass. They keep an area really clean.

Oh yeah, I live with a horse. He is a real dick too. LOL He also has free range. He basically only goes next door. He is an eating machine, all horses are. When he hears anyone come outside or pull up in the car, he comes a-looking. I have had to push him out of the way so I could move away from the car. He now knows I am useless for food. When he comes I let him hear my voice and then he doesn't bother with me.

A nose with 1100 pounds behind it is quite an experience. I haven't found my Shadowfax yet.

Well, I'm sure that Benevolent's is all covered with guano by now.....

The hardest lesson of all, in the end..is that we don't learn from our points of and in life and ease, we learn from our pain and our losses. That our nightmares, our horrors.... are our greatest teachers.

A life of ease and perfection, means nothing, to growth and change. Nothing at all.

To be broken, and struggling with it, is to be blessed with the turning to growth.

To reconcile, with that, in full understanding, and peace....is part of what it is... to be free of this place.

"...And there's no one on the rack but me....."

"It turns out that, with the wolf just outside my open windows - closer at hand than I ever feared he would get to me at this age, with his hot breath bothering the curtains -I'd rather not dwell on it, which is kind of funny, when you think about it."

I'll have to check with the landlady. She is a private type. I do like to respect the privacy of others. Especially when they are providing me with housing. It's a real no-brainer. I'm sure I can grab something. Maybe tomorrow.

Maybe Im delirious (its late & i just got done playing poker for about 6 hours)--you make it sound like you "did it" all by yourself, am I reading that correctly? And more importantly (if I am), does that mean I should give up asking others for guidance and stop seeking ideas through others' experiences?

To the village: I love you, I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you. Skipping through on the phone does the village no justice, and does not allow for proper replies, thoughts and prayers flash by so quick (like 1jnkany said? Prayers with you darlin!); is like a teaser--catching trailers at the beginning of a movie, watch a couple mins then start longing for a pause button.

Anywho--Carmody's post caught my attention. Hopefully 8 days removed from the herb will allows to start remembering my dreams for the first time in a decade and a half...hope to see y'all out there, good night & good love...

Woke up around 4:30 am, only remembering the last image of my dream, which was JFK reading the new Constitution ...
It wasn't a real life image, nor a TV screen...something different... Like a hologram...
Reminded me of the Asimov books I read in my youth...

At Gatwick about to board the plane. Happy 12/12/12 everyone. Just getting over that beastly bug. Finally feel better after days of throwing up whilst preparing to holiday!

Just came across this ( Kunrath)

Philosophy reveals to man his kinship with the All. It shows him that he is a brother to the suns which dot the firmament; it lifts him from a taxpayer on a whirling atom to a citizen of Cosmos. It teaches him that while physically bound to earth (of which his blood and bones are part), there is nevertheless within him a spiritual power, a diviner Self, through which he is one with the symphony of the Whole. Ignorance of ignorance, then, is that self-satisfied state of unawareness in which man, knowing nothing outside the limited area of his physical senses, bumptiously declares there is nothing more to know! He who knows no life save the physical is merely ignorant; but he who declares physical life to be all-important and elevates it to the position of supreme reality--such a one is ignorant of his own ignorance.

Have a great trip, Lisa. What an adventure.

I think it is great that you respect her need for privacy.
While most Aquarians are born with a strong openness and drive towards transparency

I've never been to Disney World, but I did go to Disneyland a couple of times. It's a real hoot if you are with people that like to play. Have fun, Lisa! Say hello to the gang for me.

Hi guys,

Dave Brubeck passed away this week, he was 91. His name brings fond memories for me, as it is rumored that my dad played with him, and that is probably true. Dad played with Ray Anthony's Navy Band, I know this because I looked up the ole gentleman and called him on the phone a few years ago. Same era. I honestly don't care for the kind of jazz that is, I believe it is called, improv, way too chaotic for me. Such is Take the A Train. But, this, I enjoy very much. Anyway, thank you Mr. Brubeck for filling my childhood home with music...

6 hours of poker...what did you learn about yourself?

Way more than I intended. I left wanting to learn if I'm getting better at detecting deception in others, and to test whether my "feeling of good fortune" had any merit.

I wound up learning that my "luck" is only slightly more (or not at all) more random than my intent.

I learned that people seem to want to help me, even in situations where we put ourselves in positions of competition, reinforcing my belief in the law of attraction.

Also reinforced the truth that I am not good at lying, that people have a hard time believing one can be truthful all the time, and even successful deceptions usually bite you in the ass.

Confirmed my theory you can have success at poker without lying, you just have to be be able to tell when others are (& be real patient)

I learned 6 hrs is just about the perfect amount of time for a session, so should not tell myself the stupid lie of sitting for just a couple hours". And that I play much better when I'm not running to my car to blow my head up every 30-45 minutes.

What I didn't learn was whether it feels "better" to win on the night, to have all your money in on one hand, to scoop all those chips in...than it feels bad to watch those same chips go to someone else's stack, to walk out down...which is why I'll be back. But even more, the journey is worth it...I learned a lot (appreciate the question ulli, really got me thinking), it was pleasant--good people--some even really interesting, "low" stakes, little drama (& what was there was not involving me so cod be watched with fascination & amusement), comfy casino, good times.

I hope you have a blast at Disney World, Lisa Mike and I went there a few years ago for a three day weekend without any kids, actually not by choice. Mike worked for a company in Tulsa, and the guy who started the company, Bill Bartmann, believed in treating his employees very well. He sent his managers and their partners on several trips, not allowing children. He paid for the airfare, hotel, food, and usually provided something like $500 spending money. I did spend part of the trip wishing the kids could be there, knowing full well we would never be able to afford to take them. But...more of the trip was spent being a kid. I also remember a trip to Las Vegas...the only time I've been there as well.

Outside of the trips, the health insurance was the best around, and the pay was awesome. Bartmann really knew how to treat people, even though I'm certain it was for the increased productivity and loyalty rather than because it was the right thing to do. Treating people well also gave him the pick of the workforce, hiring anyone who was the best at what they did and then creating a place for them in his company.

Though Bartmann was not charged with a crime, the company folded and two of Bartmann's close friends and fellow executives were scooped up by the FBI, charged with embezzlement...

The problem with that whole situation is that if you inflate the pay of 2,000 people, and the company folds, how do those people replace that inflated income? The answer is...they can't. Especially in an economy like Tulsa...the economy was flooded with unemployed workers looking for replacement jobs, of which there were none. There were some jobs, but not at the same pay by a long shot...and soon all the available jobs were taken...Pity.

Sorry, the point of that was the benefits of treating people like they should be treated, like they deserve to be treated, whatever the reason. When Mike and I started planning for a new company, sitting in our garage in the city and brainstorming, we went through the exercise of creating a business plan. That has come in handy on several occasions. But, now that Mike is about to become the CEO of his current company, and have ownership too, these ideas are resurfacing. Instead of thinking as a smart businessman, like Bartmann, we are thinking as human beings doing what is right. There will be benefits to the company...all those mentioned above...but there is not one thing that will be offered that will be motivated by increasing production.

Hmmm. I have absolutely no idea where all that came from...

Random musings, again?

[Carmody]

And I was just thinking about my experiments in playing with modern 3D visualization techniques....and what it does to the human mind and vision. I'm speaking about 3D television and how it works, and what the eye/brain does with it.

It reminded me of how one can be taught to get to the point of (beginning on the path, opening the door to) understanding every thing they need to understand in this life, in a period of about 10 minutes.

Yes, that all the reading, all the meditating, all the work, all the trials and tribulations, the religion, the science, the education, the life experiences, all of it can be sidestepped with a simple technique of door opening, that can be taught to people, in as little as a few minutes.

That the entire construct, for the individual, with this technique, can 'fall' and be replaced by 'what is', in a little as a few weeks, with this particular bit of understanding. The brain takes time to re-align, so it takes time.

But the technique is simple, the learning of it takes minutes. The self training in it takes a few weeks..and along the way, the construct begins to change, the given internal wiring begins to change.

It is not difficult.... and the method employs the natural tendencies of the self -- to get the job done. So, there is no forcing. One simply falls into it.

It will work with most people, is the one caveat, one might say. A small amount of human desire and curiosity is required. No more will than, lets say..a healthy person doing 30 pushups a day. Which is incredibly minor a thing to engage in for a healthy person. A mere pittance of will is required.
