and if you will not break yourself, then the reflection of the world will increase in it's nightmare shape, until you finally DO break inside. And the break must be complete, total. Complete decent into madness. To pass through it and come out the other side.

Well, I'm sitting here trying to decipher the wisdom. I know it's here. I'm reading and re-reading, and pondering...thinking the more I read it the closer I will be to understanding what you are saying.

Are you saying I'm going to have to go absolutely crazy before something becomes clear? Or...hell, can you say this another way? I feel like an idiot asking for clarification, but there is something in what you are saying and I can't find it...

Yes, but that is the thing, you see, it is you, in you, connected to you, part of you, yet not any of those things. The doorway of life, is not life itself, life is only it's reflection. And only a partial reflection, at that. it is everything you are, everything you think, everything that beats with the heart of life within you..... but it is more, it is beyond, it is inside of, it is beneath, it is above, It is everywhere, it is nothing.

Oh. So break from reality by detaching from this particular matrix of reality. The world becomes more nightmarish until one can break from it by seeing that it exists only as literally as nothingness...

Am I on the right track now?

If you can see yourself as an infinite cosmos, over which you rule as its God,
maintaining the still serenity of a starry night sky...then the outer world will
begin to mirror that condition. The more people start working on their inner harmony
the sooner the outer world will follow suit. Ripple effect from the innermost center of each individual.

My new cat Kingston is growing at an incredible rate, he just turned four months and weighs in at 7+lbs. He still thinks of himself as kitten size so he gets himself hut=rt alot trying to do impossible things. Just the other day while I was on the phone he came flying into the room, jumped on to, then leaped off of the chair, and did some flying "snakebite" maneuver and managed to impale his front incisors into my upper arm. He wasn't trying to hurt me of course, but still has a kitten mentality and doesn't really know what is a good idea or not. Nonetheless I still love the little giant. He truly means no harm and and is the most loving and cuddly kitty ever, I just have to make sure he gets enough play. I just hope he starts to get used to his ginormousness soon (He is already the exact size of my last cat as an adult), as he really seems to be in the "clumsy teenager" phase right now.

Just got him a big play house he can climb, so hopefully this saves the furniture. Very energetic cat

I hope you washed it well with soap, and sterilized it.

I cannot frame it for you. The framing is your and yours alone. As yoda might say, 'all on your plate, it is, yes?'

Your trip to the edge, and possibly beyond... is entirely your own, and so is the pace of it. It cannot be a reflection of mine, it must be yours, and yours alone. There is no formula to be transmitted. Only a knowing that it exists, as both a path and an answer. the only thing a proper guru is, is a state of knowing. That's it. The rest is just words, and many of them are forms of avoidance of the core task.

Essentially, we're talking about finding a real need in the self to stick a metaphorical and philosophical gun in one's mouth and blowing one's base perceptions on reality...away. Any form of external involvement by anyone or anything else, defeats the process before it really ever even begins.

the older people are, the clearer their perception, but the more clouded the mind, due to age..if they have not kept themselves in good shape.

What the attempt is, is to break the body's ideas on control of life so it lets go of life,and allows the being inside CLEAR and UNHINDERED perception. everything is filtered by the body/ego-body.

And the trick is to convince the body it is letting go, ie, something akin to being dead.

The peace of the dying and the near dead. But to be it, alive and walking, full of life and love and joy.

To break the contact (and channel) of the body's control of perception, and that... is an act of full and utter shutdown of all perception of all kinds and ways. And the body has not choice to be what it is, and to reflect all of that back into perception and form, as a world gone insane, on ALL levels and in ALL ways.

Since it is in control of the basics of thought formation, this can be a bit tricky, hhmmm?

I tend to agree with that. What throws me for a loop is when something like that letter comes to my attention. Surely, I did not envision that into existence, did I? That's what gets me. I made myself aware of many injustices in the world, until I could handle no more. I do anything I can in my little universe, anything that I see that I can change for the better. But something like this pops up, and I wonder...how can this come from my innermost center? Would I create such a working environment, such an enslavement? Thinking out loud...

[Carmody]

We tend to contract our thoughts to decrease the pain. We simplify our worlds and world view.

Body response, it is.

One of the tricks or components... to expanding -- is to let all of the pain of the world IN.

this does not mean to sit down and try it, no. That is not what I said. The step of doing so is not, shall we say, a smart thing to be doing at the start of such journeys.

The peace of the dying and the near dead. But to be it, alive and walking, full of life and love and joy.

This...I understand completely. Haven't gotten to where I can do this all the time, but have come close a couple of times. I know it is there, in here.

Tricky, it is, to remain in this state, I would think, as injustices are uncovered that test the resolve. Maybe that is what it is, for me, very personal here, a test of that resolve. How much strength do I have to hold on to this...to find this state again, nurture it, protect it, and allow it fully...and keep it.

The injustices and the cruelty are designed to be difficult to see through...to know love and joy, to be love and joy, while watching this movie play out...and to exist absolutely and fully in this state while choosing action or inaction in every case personally...of course either action or inaction is each participation...but then participation is somewhat necessary to learn and help and raise children and interact...

Wow. If I had a beer, I'd down that sucker.



Much Love,

edit: and then I read your post, just preceding this one, Carmody...letting the pain IN to go through, perhaps, much like being a clear glass wall...like being an expanse of life, not like absorbing the pain...

I remember sitting in a tent on a warm September Saturday in 1980 listening to J. Krishnamurti giving a talk where he insinuated this aspect of collective responsibility. My mind found his words outrageous, yet something else in me began to absorb it as true.
The willingness to accept responsibility for each and every aspect of existence is the first step to inner wholeness. Krishnamurti transmitted something into me on that day that helped me rise to the next level and also become a pillar of strength to my mother, as my father died the next day. Now, 32 years later I have become so sensitive that I know that every time I feel outrage I know that that emotional turmoil sends shock waves which contribute further to the chaos out there. So I take a few deep breaths, calm myself right down, and send out soothing and gentle energies, like oil onto water.
I know that doing so loosens the knots and untangles the oppression out there.

for all of you who were waiting for Ascension...

Ascension Island quake cluster...

~200 today...

still getting intense rushes of energy/vertigo...

yesterday taking a picture by the Christmas tree with my kids, when I put arms around them the buildup was so quick we all three got dizzy...

we were playing a game called scatigories, which is a word game, it was amazing seeing the number of duplicates time and again on completely unrelated topics... pretty bizarre

I blamed it on the Mayanium, said this is the new world, we talk by psychics, and had a whole conversation break out about it, between the kids. Like a dam broke and everyone started sharing their thoughts, I was kind of blown away hearing what young kids were saying, the talk of 12/21/12 was buzzing in the schools...

one of my nephews got 2 remote controlled cars...

they were sitting side by side batteries out of the controllers, when they suddenly raced across the island and landed in the sink full of water...


it blew away a bro in law...


my daughter laughed and said you need to get used to paranormal happenings around my Dad...


I said "hey, wasn't me"


she laughed and said "yeah right"

dang and I thought no one ever noticed, I keep these conversations for Avalon...


whistles innocently...

And for the more cynical Villagers, lol, I also said to M..."If he buys something to drink with that, it will keep him warmer than the blanket..."

I've had people tell me that money I give to homeless people was just going to go to alcohol. I told them, when sleeping on concrete, it's a good investment. The alcohol nonsense is their reasoning for not giving anything. It is so obvious. Except to them.

Since you change avatars often, let me give you one for those 'special' moments.

Talking about the pain of the world getting in, I have a strange story that happened to me at one time.

I was in Istanbul, going back to my home in the near suburb from the old city, on the European side. It was rainy, a little dusty rain, and humid and cold (Istanbul being surrounded by 3 plans of water, in winter, it is cold and humid). A business partner was driving me back home after a day of meetings (nowhere else than Nortel Turkey, called Netash).

So we were coming back from the Asian side and went around the whole city, on the European side, on the road bordering the sea of Marmara. This road goes along the walls of the old city of Constantinople and Byzance, just to tell you how old is its history.

As we went along the wall and came to the end of the old city, there were tourelles at the end of the walls, very high tourelles (towers). And all of a sudden I heard a huge clamour full of screams of pain from thousands of people. It was both extremely sad and extremely beautiful, beautiful because they were screams from humans (as if I understood how high humans are) in all their authenticity, sad because it was suffering. I still feel it nowdays, when remembering. Sadness and love still gets through me. Absolutely taking from my own resonance. I did not say a word, thinking that my business partner would think I am nut.

Back in Canada few months later, I recounted this to a Turkish friend. His jaw dropped, and he told me that these tourelles were donjuns where people were jailed, tortured, died under pain and torture, it was were the sultans would send their enemies or those they wanted to get rid of. And this went on for thousands of years. The Romans and Greeks prior to the Turks used these tourelles for the same thing, etc. I had felt those tortured humans.

This was my story for tonight,

Good night.

You rock, modwiz...I love you to pieces!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give her deep blue eyes and she would look like me when I was small, finger included. lol

I just this moment received an Email from someone who needed a lift. Because I have been here, in the Village, for a chunk of time this evening, and sorting through some things, apparently, I have gotten closer to my zone. This was both an opportunity for me to shine a light on the way back for her, for which I am truly grateful, and an affirmation from...Spirit, for which I am truly grateful.

Thank you for being here, and for being such an intense and brilliant
shade of radiant. Love. Light. Beauty.

This was a message from my niece, but now I am sharing it from my heart to yours. I hope you feel its warmth.

Much Love,

[Rocky_Shorz]

lol...

one of the remote controlled cars just drove across the room, the kids are in bed...

while I was typing this, now it just backed up into the center of the room...

I've never had a spirit try to talk with me through an electronic car...

when I asked why, I heard Sandy Hook...

ok everyone, what are we missing?

[1inMany]

Holy Crap! Have you even just let something flow through you when you are communicating, and then when you go back and read it, it...surprises you?

I can't quite believe I wrote this...this is the response I sent to my niece...(keep in mind I'm talking to someone who has to tell me how great Jesus is with every other breath, and he is God, and...yadda yadda yadda...)

There is a place beyond all words. It is a place of beauty, of strength, of light...where you will know not that you have these things, but that you are these things. You are nothingness, and you are I Am.

Find this place.

Meditating does not work for me, but it is a great place to start. Try meditating on meeting your guardian angel, or on your spirit guides (those who are with you to help you with this journey.)

It is finding God, but finding the One Infinite Creator, bigger than God...I guess kind of like who created God...

This is who you are.

Listen to the whispers from the angels, from your intuition.

And when you are getting close, the old ego-mind will come back to taunt you and give you doubts.

Keep returning to this place within, and you will find peace not only for yourself and your four little (big) reasons...but you will find your brilliant light...

Love you, Always...

I wrote that? Well, I sure could not have written that without this time in the Village tonight. I cannot thank you all enough, I just can't.

Much Love, All, and Good Night.

[Rocky_Shorz]

it gets better, I just walked over picked up the car and flipped it over to turn it off...

it wasn't on...

[1inMany]

Okay, the holy crap just got elevated to Holy Sh!t.

Expecting to go to bed now, I was shutting everything down. I realized I had gotten two Email responses from my niece already.

First response:

Wow...
Yes.
...YES. THANK YOU.

Second response:

Holy. Freaking. Cow.
After meditating and reuniting with my spirit guides, I opened my eyes -- from the floor of my bathroom -- and discovered this unexpected beam of angelic light immediately before me... As if I was seeing it, LITERALLY, for the first time.

Ummmm. Chills, anyone?

Just, freakin' Wow.

[modwiz]

Just found some recordings from the concert I did at Omega in October.

Here is something all should know.

http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/w807802x74/instakarma.mp3

This one is sure to cause brain damage. Beware of lunatics on the grass.

http://k003.kiwi6.com/hotlink/zaw5qy...ageeclipse.mp3

The links under the players will open a page where you can right click and 'save video as'. Video will be the mp3.

[astrid]

Rocky, it looks like this is still your case,
someone really wants this one solved,
and they know you can do it.

Coming through a toy car, I'm guessing its one of the kids.

[araucaria]

Wow you guys were busy last night. I'll just slip past on tiptoe while you catch up on some sleep

Want!

Happy holidays everyone.

Finally home after a long sojourn down south. Had a GREAT trip to Botswana. This is by far my favourite pic (of the over 3000 I took)

Ancient meets modern.
Nxolate is from the Qxoom tribe. A wonderful, colourful character
