Not nearly as dramatic as your stories (especially 1InMany - holy sh!t!), but I do understand being born into oppressive and unwavering religious indoctrination.

No need to tell you that when I woke up on a Sunday morning at 8 years old, and told my dad I did not want to go to church anymore, there were no arguments. His answer was, ok, you don't want, therefore you don 't go anymore. My sister kept going for a while and then she stopped too.

I was late in leaving the establishment at age 26. My ex-mother-in-law told me I couldn't receive communion because I was divorced. I asked then why haven't I been struck down? “Officially excommunicated,” I believe were her next words.

I learned that you are not supposed to take communion if you are not Catholic. Well, that didn't seem very Christian to me. I couldn't imagine Christ himself turning me down because I wasn't adhering to a certain dogma.

Makes me think: a secretary working with me in the nineties was really annoyed by Jehovah Witnesses ringing her door and waking her up every Sunday morning for preaching. She came back a Monday morning at work all smily and tells me that she still had the JW at the door on Sunday morning but that this time she answered naked. It seems they turned away so fast that is was ridiculously funny calling her devil. She never saw hem again.

I posted this on the other site: The last time a Jehovah triad came, it was the usual gig. One in the car and two came up. This time I opened my door before they had a chance to knock. I told them I was a Buddhist and also did Tai Chi. I said I’ve got a fresh pot of coffee on, and invited them in to hear my beliefs. They politely declined, didn't leave any literature, nor did they ever return. Tee...

And then you switched to Pringles.
Can't eat just one!
Apparently I'm the token heathen bastard among this bunch here in this thread.....

If you're talking about consuming the wrong stuff, Carmody, I'm with you
But I did hear there was something deadful in Pringles can't remember what
Edit: don't panic, I meant dreadful

Are You Eating This All-Time Favorite "Cancer-in-a-Can" Snack?

"The chips move forward on a conveyor belt until they're pressed onto molds, which give them the curve that makes them fit into one another.
Those molds move through boiling oil ... Then they're blown dry, sprayed with powdered flavors, and at last, flipped onto a slower-moving conveyor belt in a way that allows them to stack..."

Potato Chips are Loaded with Cancer-Causing Chemical

One of the most hazardous ingredients in potato chips is not intentionally added, but rather is a byproduct of the processing.

Acrylamide, a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical, is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, whether baked, fried, roasted or toasted. Some of the worst offenders include potato chips and French fries, but many foods cooked or processed at temperatures above 212°F (100°C) may contain acrylamide. As a general rule, the chemical is formed when food is heated enough to produce a fairly dry and brown/yellow surface. Hence, it can be found in:

• Potatoes: chips, French fries and other roasted or fried potato foods
• Grains: bread crust, toast, crisp bread, roasted breakfast cereals and various processed snacks
• Coffee; roasted coffee beans and ground coffee powder. Surprisingly, coffee substitutes based on chicory actually contains 2-3 times MORE acrylamide than real coffee

There as some worse than Pringles: Cape Cod, Kettle Chips lightly salted & honey dijon.

Beware: Baked Chips May Be WORSE than Fried!

If you think you can avoid the health risks of potato chips by choosing baked varieties, which are typically advertised as being "healthier," think again. Remember that acrylamide is formed not only when foods are fried or broiled, but also when they are baked. And according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) data on acrylamide levels in foods, baked chips may contain more than three times the level of acrylamide as regular chips!

Now I know why Jessica Biel doesn’t eat that chip on the David Letterman show video.

I just learned that I had one of those distance taking usage electric meters on my house for more than two years. They still had to have the guy come in the street to collect, but is was a distance meter. I can't believe it.

They now want to install the new one that emits every fifteen minutes. If I opt out (at least i do have a choice) they will have a manual meter installed, but I will have to pay 95$ for installation and 209$ a year for service of the meter.

I would really like to know what this kind of meter truly does to human without having all the panicky people throwing tons of data to me. The hydro electric company says that is does not emit more than a wi=fi in the home. And it is 10 times below actual regulations. I wonder if it emits anything else.

I was asking the Electrical company why taking data every fifteen minutes, this is ludicrous. The agent could not answer.

And it is 10 times below actual regulations.

Yeah, my guess is the 'regulations number' is one they sorta pulled out of the air. It changes as best fits the Electrical company.

...but I will have to pay 95$ for installation and 209$ a year for service of the meter.

300$ X how many customers?
Phase I: They know most people will pick the cheaper route. Classic illusion of choice.
Phase II: Then when enough numbers come out in favor of their data, everyone must convert to the unhealthy one. And, yes, healthy profits for the wart-ones. Grrrrr!

Please let this be what wakes more and more up!

But I did hear there was something deadful in Pringles can't remember what

Oh no! From the anal glands of which animal are the natural flavors of Pringles derived? I told my dad about Castoreum and he told me to shut the &$%# up! Apparently, he really loves raspberry yogurt.

A family member told me they were taking a Raspberry diet supplement to lose weight. I said to them make sure it doesn't have Castoreum in it. They ran to the bathroom and got sick after I told them it was from the anal gland of beavers. They threw the bottle away.

Hey, I'm still eating raspberry yogurt!

"Fruit Bottom" Yogurt.

'tis fitting -- At least the descriptor is accurate!

I am cutting back, though. I try not to think about it. As i sit there and eat one...I keep thinking I can separate the flavors. I probably can. Then I mentally move to seeing the beavers 'in action', as a visualization. Sure helps damp my enthusiasm for raspberry yogurt.

Ha! As I keep explaining to family members, once you learn something you can't unlearn it. So, moral of the story methinks, tread lightly, and don't go reading something unless you're willing to learn!

Just recently, I found the meter man installing a smart meter at my house. I've learned that I don't have a choice, unless I want to go without electricity. WTF? I found this article explaining the EM frequencies emitted from it:

Hey Flash, following up with our Acadian discussion (I really enjoyed reading the Wiki article. I had no idea they were deported to France and then sailed to Louisiana!) I bought this six-pack today. The beer is actually brewed in Mississippi by Lazy Magnolia Brewery. It's yummy:

I love raspberries and tried not to think about it. My relative asked me -where do you learn all of this stuff? Lol

I'll buy raspberries from the local farmers market and make my own syrup, pudding or eat them fresh.

Take Back Your Power is a historic community-funded film which exposes the technocratic "smart meter" agenda, by which corporations are currently attempting to quietly assert the basis for further control in the lives and homes of the world's citizens. The film will also focus on specific solutions -- which are presently available -- for humanity to leapfrog outdated ideas of control, and co-create a better future.

Thanks Paula! That is great information. I might be able to do something with this. Definitely gonna try......

Smart-Bots in a bottle

The CDC after testing APeX refused to publish the results claiming the technology top secret -classified.

Nano-oxygenated Silver in a bottle is now available to the public as a health supplement.

Some readers may find your earlier posts on this "stuff" (before it was available for sale) also useful. See for example Nora's Post #14735 earlier on this same thread, from June 2012.

Personally I am a bit amazed this "stuff" is for sale now via a website based in the US. Listen to Bill Chastain's 2011 interview with Spectrum Radio for why I use that word "stuff".

A Google search for "site:projectavalon.net apexuap" will find more posts on this forum regarding APeX UAP.

Thank you, lookbeyond, it is truly beautiful music. I even bookmarked it so tomorrow when I continue on this cleaning spell I'm in, I will have something to listen to.

Here and Now...man, I'm tired. Built a house, garage, dog & doghouse, yard, car, and helicopter. Oh, and a garden. Okay, fine, it was Lego's....but still. That's a lot.

Went outside to look at stars and heard some critter or other in the dark, rustling through branches and whatnot. Reminiscent of last spring...think I will soon have to quit going for late night strolls in the yard, drat.

Also need to mow, holy crap do I have to do that every year? Least the tires aren't flat. Yet.

Musings to sleep by, that's what this is. Brainpower for the day exhausted. Yep.

Sweet dreams, Village...Much Love,

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.

Her particular path encourages spiritual exclusivity and fundamentalism. How is preaching that half of humanity is soulless in any way helpful? Beliefs like these are mean spirited and profoundly paranoia inducing. Good for you that you broke away.

[araucaria]

We smile at Roman saturnists poisoning themselves to death with lead crockery, but at least their food and drink were probably OK. We have aluminium and and teflon and we have multiple methods of poisoning our stuff first anyway.

Edit: the Rumanian horsemeat I gather was the result of a new traffic regulation in that country: no more horses and carts on tarmacked roads. Hence a glut ofsubstandard equine material. Wonder what the did with the carts

Pursuing my thoughts on leadership in an earlier post. If the leader is acting out on behalf of/driven by the grassroots, then we may take the counterintuitive view that politicians of late have been no exception, and have continued to fulfill voters’ expectations. As these expectations approached zero and worse, they have behaved accordingly. We do not get the leadership that we deserve or want, we get the leadership that we expect.

The key then is to expect what we really want (and deserve). This is a form of the ‘naïve optimism’ that is so decried on this forum and that some of us see rather differently. It cannot be truly naive since it is conscious. It is actually ‘sophisticated innocence’, which only sounds like an oxymoron to the extent that we haven’t fully understood the concept.

How do we get from where we are to where we want to be? Well some sophisticated innocents have been voting in a few politicians like forum member Simon Parkes, who are already acting upon these positive expectations. As our expectations gradually increase, their performance will follow. This will be so, just as surely as the same principle has so far applied in the opposite direction: the more corrupt we can imagine our politicians to be, the more corrupt they have shown themselves to be.

Unfortunately, I am not sure that forums like Avalon, yes Avalon, have turned this corner yet.

Thank you for this very good post. I have been thinking about his for years, how the cycle of life works...
Being born ignorant, naive and innocent we are plunged into a world of contradictions,
to which we react each in our unique way, often angry, bewildered, or withdraw altogether.
To find a balanced response that does not perpetuate the vicious circle we expose ourselves as naive, and encounter ridicule.
Yet the alternative, with its accompanying cynicism, can never take us out of the vicious circle of ever perpetuating hostility.
Sophisticated innocence, which means innocence by choice, is the only true option that stands a chance to bring about the world we desire. Thank you for bringing this up. I hope others can join in and add their thoughts.

A Geocentric view of the solar system

This page provides a different way of looking at the solar system. It is geocentric and shows where the Sun and all the planets (and the moon) are in the sky. It doesn't show the distances to the planets and so this version of the orrery does not have any of the usual orbit controls or centre object selector. However all other controls work as stated in the guide.

Whats so useful about a geocentric view?

Well the first thing you'll notice is that it's easy to see when there are conjunctions e.g. planets appear close together in the sky.

The second thing is that the planets are always shown in the correct zodiac signs. With the standard orrery, if the orbits were not set to be realistic, then the planets would not be shown in the correct sign.

In summary, this view is much more useful if you just want to know where the planets are (or were or will be) in the sky rather than where they and the earth are in the solar system.
