Oh no, I am not getting in that slippery road. Last time I started the party it made a whole weird situation.

I pass.

Day like another one.

It was not your fault....some coincidences are just that.

Laura and the Cassiopaeans once were part of my path, but I left it.
Don't want to go into the reason why other than that I used to be a bit like her...
And was going around warning people of the bad stuff that was coming,
instead of empowering them to the potential they had within.
While having their fear oven stoked works for some, and I don't deny this,
as some of it helped me wake up, too,
yet I'd now much rather focus on the alternative option, which is to have everyone's light shine brighter...
Turn up the dimmer switch, people.
Much easier than worry about which ETs will do what...
Then let the moths come to your candles and see what happens.

To illustrate this attitude some more...
I drive in the crazy traffic conditions of Costa Rica, and have figured out how to get home safely.
I look out to the front, and focus my eyes on the empty spaces ahead of me.
Sometimes I can see several hundred yards ahead, and it looks to me like the parting waters of the Red Sea.

Meanwhile I had this neurotic friend who was the most fearful backseat driver I ever encountered...
who kept pointing out what was going on inside the other cars.
Like, 'watch that car on your right, woman driver talking on her cell phone', or 'that guy is hung-over, he might do such and such'. On and on, this person was seeing danger everywhere.
After six months of reading Laura and Ark's The Wave I realized the effect this was having on me...it was turning me into that neurotic backseat driver. Instead of focusing on getting home I was imagining what was happening inside other drivers heads.
So I made my choice and left that path.

The big problem, as I see it, is that we can have this information brought to us, at the same time we live in a matrix and projection of fear. Fear due to our inability to understand the wholeness of it all. We are not empowered and the same time we feel we are discovering nasty things. The empowerment pathway needs to be found at the same time, one would hope. Possibly even found before.

There is, relatively speaking, no danger, but at the same time, the dangers are real. Walking down the street kind of danger. Limited in scope and size. People can step into that area and engage that side of existence if they wish, but until the 'mind projection' becomes clear on many components of it, it can be an unknown and thus difficult to navigate with the sureness required. I knew this going in, as I used logic to probe what I was dealing with. At the same time, it will induce a sort of madness, until the mind reforms around the new information. New information that is fundamental and deep.

If one was to, for example, get a full and clear answer from a certain person in this thread about what they do with their time..I'm sure it would seem like a very difficult to comprehend communication. The connection is individual to the mind and translating it to something that is of general use, as in the general use of language and understanding in this world..that translation is difficult at best.

All one can do is indicate that there is definitely something there, something real to investigate and ponder. Something (developed two way information flow) that will come to the individual in a very unique and individual way. I used the Jiddu krishnamurti quotes to try and say that, as anything too far off the path of normalcy would only skew the situation more than it was.

To be honest, I think this is debatable. While there are definitely signs of slavery
there are also signs of freedom, and of possibility of escape,
as well as of "slave masters" who are generously offering amnesty.
There are many good people in positions of power who have the best of mankind at heart.
Who are loving and sincere.
Not only is the elite made up of 'black hats' and 'white hats',
but within each member there is a mixture of goodwill and need for personal survival.

No one person has all the power, and those who are identified with institutions
usually have less power than someone who has escaped the trappings of
material society, with it's status symbols, and lives a simple life.

For good example of a mixture of oversimplistic attitudes to good and bad in people, especially those with power, take the former Cardinal Bergoglio. As a Jesuit (bad), there is doubt over his role during the dark years in Argentina: maybe he didn’t protect some of his left-leaning order, who disappeared. So there were Jesuits on both sides of that conflict – this means that whatever side you take, some Jesuits are good people.



For some, the new pope is a good man, who looks after the poor and lives a simple personal life, taking the animal-lover Francis of Assissi as his role model. For others, if he is in that top job, then he cannot be a good man. And they will likely discover that Berg in German means mountain and oglio in Italian means eye, put two and two together and decide that he is the eye on the pyramid. They will likely speculate that he was smuggled away to Argentina in a U-boat at the end of the war as a 9-year-old fascist.

Let me put a more positive slant on all this. The major issue this time around was choosing between a pro-Curia cardinal and a reformist. The Curia are called the Romans, so the Petrus Romanus scenario could have been any one of those guys getting in; so possibly choosing a reformist from the other side of the planet was the best answer to derailing the apocalyptic game plan and inflicting an unexpected defeat on the divided Romans.

Given that the plan was/is to destroy the Church, it is worth looking at why we might want to preserve it in some form, and how it might be turned more unambiguously into a force for good. One obvious area of competence is prayer. When they say the conclave is inspired by the Holy Spirit, it means that over a hundred people gathered together with a single common focus, and with countless millions outside also focusing on that purpose, the outcome will be the right one for that particular situation. These are large-scale Intention experiments that didn’t wait for Lynne McTaggart to call them that. Hence choosing a pope is something that just about everyone is involved in to some extent, regardless of their views on popery: might as well do it consciously and positively. Since, regardless of our views on leadership, leaders do provide leadership to many (including many who claim otherwise), better have good leaders providing good leadership; which is done by using the same focus that got them elected to guide them every step of the way. A good leader knows that they are not towing people behind him, they are being pushed.


This is how it works, and has been working up till now. Ratzinger got in on this principle and was thrown out on this principle, when he no longer had this spiritual constituency to carry on. The mechanics of his resignation in relation to this or that scandal or agenda are ultimately irrelevant details. Collectively we went to the brink, had a good look down, and have now stepped back.

[Lisab]

If we're all getting upgrades, why not the church? I actually feel quite positive about the new pope. Brilliant post Aruacaria and Ulli too.

[eaglespirit]

All I know is there are alot of 'Jose's' in my life lately in front of me...
So I'm just gonna 'hose' it all down and clean it all up with a little help from my higher friends!!!

Had it not been for a WOW moment in my early childhood I might never have taken the first steps to get me onto the wholeness trip. I was in the kitchen with my mother when a voice on the radio said something about the prophet being in the temple, I think it was Jesaiah, and the hem of the robe of God filled the whole temple. On hearing this my eyes must have widened. I remember how I felt at the time, and I never forgot. Perfect childhood programming. My mother had never been a religious person, but right aft giving birth to me she had a dream in which a voice told her to make sure I would have a religious education, and so she always made sure that I got to Sunday school. She eventually became far more religious in the process than I, who went only with lots of protesting. And right after confirmation as a Lutheran at age 14 I dropped out and stopped going, except for Christmas service, without which I would have had no presents.
Anyway, my point is that this small event in our kitchen triggered something in me that remained with me all those later years when I became an atheist, until I was given that download, and shown that wholeness was real. I had wanted to see the hem of God's robe and feel that awe, and that is what happened all those years later. Only knowing about it would have never worked, there had to be that longing, which is the emotion, the fuel, the heart factor. It is far stronger than mere curiosity, which comes from the mind. So if that trigger was the first step in a sequence of logical steps, the final was to repeatedly see my own wishes come true, with the most unlikely synchronicities occurring. Wholeness is seen when the puzzled state leads to puzzle picture building, or an active mind obsession to connect all dots, as often as possible, even while performing mundane tasks. Never letting go, like a terrier with a rat.
The events which then appear on the screen of one's life are such that no outsider could have prepared them, no ET, as only one's own perception could connect those events to one's earlier wishes and prayers.
Hearing about others having similar experiences brings a deep joy. Hopefully the similarities can then trigger for third parties the thought that there must be something real going on here, and start them on their own quest.
This is my wish for them.
Hearing about wholeness is as different from experiencing it as day and night. But the experience can only happen if one desires it, and even then it is like an act of grace.

Yes, this is how it works. And yes, one can be an outsider and still see the Catholic Church as a source for good, especially if it is making baby steps of reforming itself.
Diverse humanity means diverse approaches. When enlightenment happens one realizes that any path, whether Catholic, or Lutheran, whether Hindu or Buddhist, or even atheist, could have taken one there.
All religions are basically mystical in their essence, and even Atheism, being somewhat utopian, will give the impetus for growth and betterment. And that all paths, if not abandoned, will lead to that point, where the connectedness of all there is becomes as evident as the midday sun, the Great Wholeness, and of which the opposite is fragmentation and separation, decay and death.

The purpose of zoos is to save species to eventually reintroduce them into their natural habitat when humanity becomes intelligent enough to realize that they are an important part of a biodiversity. Sadly this has not happened, and who knows when we will become enlightened enough to do so.

I adore giraffes, always have. I have no idea why, but I could sit and adore them for hours. Anyway, that means the giraffes were so close I could almost reach out and touch them. That was crazy kind of awesome.

These photos are from the Roger Williams Park Zoo, in Rhode Island. For those that don't know, RI is the smallest state in USA.

Giraffe:

• Keep your head up, have faith, and trust your gut regarding the situation you're dealing with at present.
• You'll have to reach a bit, but you will achieve your goal.
• Keep your eye on the possibilities that are just on the horizon.
• You have the gift of foresight, being able to see ahead through dreams, visions, ideas, or signs from the environment.
• You enjoy casual socializing with friends more than formal affairs.

I died last night...in my dream.

I don't remember ever dying in a dream before. I have had lucid dreams where I left my body and flew, and have had dreams/nightmares where something was happening that would have ended in death...but would awaken before the death scene. Not last night.

I got into a car along a busy highway, started it up and was trying to defrost the windows when a cop car, traveling at high speed on the wrong side of the road, came racing down the road towards me - and smashed into my car. My car spun around and flew the opposite direction from where I had been pointed, scraped along a concrete wall and hit a large pole. I (my spirit) must have then popped out of my body, as my viewpoint was instantly on the outside of the car, watching my body get ejected from the car. The pole then fell on my body.

One second later, I was with my daughter, and she could see and feel me. I held both of her hands and told her that I had just died in a car crash. She was pretty calm, but listening intently as I told her goodbye and how much I love her. Just then, my wife came in, worried, and said, "Your dad's car is outside and it's smashed!" I then realized my wife could not see me, but only saw our daughter holding her both of her hands out if front of her.

There were some real-world sounds in the house, and I awoke.

I laid in bed for a little while, thinking. I thought about the inadequacy of words in trying to convey a message of emotion. And I though about the fact that I am not ready to leave. I'm not done yet. I haven't accomplished what I came here to do (or at least try to do.)

Pauler--in a really awesome video you posted...well, the one you posted was not as good as some of them out there--quality-wise--but the dude with sock puppets talking about non-violent communication, he pointed out he used a giraffe because they have the largest heart of any land animal.

Apparently one visited our bedroom one time, unfortunately I am unable to see such things...

Anybody know about any significant objects on the east coast last night. This picture was posted on one of V's FB friend's page, saying it was a comet he was seeing now. He lives in New Jersey, and the comments indicated he had just taken it (which kinda coincided with one of her dizzy spells)

I am eagerly awaiting her questions to him on how he knows it was a comet and how he managed to capture it in a photo (aren't they pretty fast, and usually even anticipated?), anyway it is a pretty awesome shot:

[Kraut]

Had an argument with my Mother today. It's sad when those closest to you can't appreciate who you really are and are striving to become because their minds are controlled. She thinks I am leaving and betraying (typing that name makes me sick), because I no longer believe in the nonsense that I have been taught. There is no logic, no reasoning, no wisdom that can get through to her, she doesn't even understand why she believes what she does. So I can't help her understand why I no longer do why it's lies and manipulation. These people have been so thoroughly brainwashed that they equate leaving this abusive religion with leaving behind God. She is afraid and hurt, thinking I have thrown all my former years away. Most likely she will die as a blind slave for an Organization that abuses its members spiritually and emotionally. Even if you leave they still get you to a certain extent, by holding your friends and family hostage.

Interesting dream Dennis. One is supposed to wake up immediately on dying in a dream. It used to happen to me quite a lot until I started waking up in advance when I saw it coming. To have dreamed through the whole thing is pretty impressive.

I think your interpretation is probably right, that your time is not up - just watch out for speeding cops going the wrong way please

Death dreams can be so scary, Dennis. But they have important messages, too.

So discovered that people who dream of the end of the world, or the end of the species...
these people often became very sick a short while later, and sometimes even die,
if they buy into the literal meaning of their dream.
Meanwhile people (and this includes myself) who had personal death dreams in which only they died,
were close to the biggest Aha moment of their lives. They were only witnessing the death of their fragmented ego.

Over the years I realized that all those dreams preceded rebirth moments in my life,
and were in part the result of an earlier consciousness in myself that was still in denial of death.

So the shedding of the body type of death is only one of many deaths,
and the higher one's vibrational frequencies, the more death and rebirths one experiences,
and can make fresh starts in life, which are incredibly invigorating.

So as I got older I gradually began to face my own mortality more and more,
and also discovered that somehow I will be kept alive until every last task
my soul came here to do has been performed,
including tying up the loose ends and not leaving a big mess behind.

My feeling is that the perception you have of the "bad" government, the elite which is out of control,
and which will potentially be the cause of your own death,
is represented by that cop car coming down the wrong side of the road...
all that is part of your own self.
Once you transcend this conflict you will have new powers,
where you can start acting far more effectively than you can now.

Dude couldn't stay long in my (awake) friend either.

It's a trip cuz they can pretend to be the person they jack

Personal experience says that a full reading or blending with the consciousnesses ..difficult at best.

These are my musings on this:
Higher consciousness can never be understood by lower-level beings, it must be earned, through desire at first, through longing, striving, and finally the courage to take a leap of faith.
Just like calculus cannot be understood by a child at kindergarten level that wants to be like the older kids, but has to go through the growth stages.
And then higher consciousness descends and lends a helping hand, and gives glimpses of possibilities, by producing guides, or teachers.
They offer the manual, how to proceed to get there.
And finally when all the tests have been passed, and the lessons learned, a secret doorway opens and one enters the next level.
One can still visit the earlier levels but becomes invisible to those who dwell there. Unless one chooses to give a glimpse of oneself.

For example, the longing for freedom amongst slaves alone would never have brought that freedom had it not been granted by those in power positions to change the laws, and remove the restrictions.

One can still visit the earlier levels but becomes invisible to those who dwell there. Unless one chooses to give a glimpse of oneself.

Just as I read this sentence, a tall, thin Light-Being appeared in my right peripheral vision. I am washed with peace and a secondary nugget of inner knowing that everything’s okay. In some way, there’s a familiarity with her. An old acquaintance, who is confirming she’ll be around for awhile.

She wears a long, hooded cloak, which now explains the new avatar that I had resistance to up-loading. Cool. I really like her.

We thank you, Ulli...

UPDATE: Part of me feels like she's a part of me. Which from the larger perspective, she is. But aside from that... Future me? I don't want to over think. Just what's popping into our conversation.
