Here and Now...What's Happening?

It is then easy to understand why the Buddhist has the person come to them, arriving of their own volition.

It is also, as stated earlier, impossible to unknow a thing.

That is the component that is being thrust in people's faces, right now. 'Here is knowledge, here is knowing..you cannot undo this, now you must decide'.

yukondiva, your animal stories are worthy of a book! Or a movie! Or both!

Dennis

I have been writing my autobiography for ten years. One day I will complete it. I have had so many interesting things happen in my life. I feel truly blessed to have lived thru them all unscathed. Thanks Dennis.

Same here. So many dead friends. almost like an inner city war zone, except out in the backwoods.

Yes I have lost alot friends too.I have stories that would curl peoples hair! But cant post here due to legality issues. But I will tell you at that same compound when we first arrived, the guy who was on the tail end of the tiger with me, was standing next to a cage with a chimpanzee in it, staring at the chimp, I was about a foot away from the guy. The guy who owned the animals screamed across the yard( I wouldnt stand that close to the chimpanzee) just then the chimpanzee reached out and grabbed that guy by his shirt and started raking him against the enclosure. The guy who had screamed to not get so close came running over, we sprayed the chimp with a hose but he was not going to let the guy go, he had fainted by now, but the chimp continued to rack him back and forth against the cage, so the owner got a stun gun and stunned the chimp and he let the guy go. The guy fell to the ground, he was a bloody mess. He lived but his nose would never be the same.

What is truly sad is what has been done by the eskimo in the name of religion. They took children away from villages to get a good christian upbringing. Several generations later (100 years after) the eskimo still struggles to find their identity. It screwed them culturally and spriritually. Drug abuse and alcholism is rampant in the native community. Many villages are dry villages meaning no alchol can be sold. But they live in the most deplorable conditions, using honeybuckets, no running water, now they can buy a six pack of coke for two dollars but a bottle of water cost eight dollars, a carton of juice is $13 dollars,traditional food is now replaced with the worst imagined food products, they have lost the knowledge that has kept them alive. When I return I am going to villages to teach wildeness survival with my friend who works for the North American Outdoor institute. Then you have people who hate the eskimos calling them useless, not understanding when you destroy a culture, it takes forever for them to find their way back if they ever do.

Here and Now...our canner arrived. Of all the things to try for the first batch, Mike thought spaghetti sauce would be cool. I'm so sick of smelling spaghetti sauce, that it will truly last for months...and months...and months... I know I won't want to open any for awhile, haha. Guess that would mean the canner is a success? After all, isn't the point to have prepared food...for months?

Meanwhile, in sick bay, Em is being a real trooper. Was feeling better for awhile, but has been in bed all day. Lots of rest and lots of juice, none of it having to be forced. She did eat some homemade chicken noodles, as did M. I figured, hell, with the kitchen wall to wall pots and steam and boiling, might as well actually cook something.

Little One will be here for about another week. My focus will be enjoying every moment of it, and hopefully strengthening the connection we have so that he can access it while he isn't here.

I'm reviving my Wow! for the million views.



What a lot has gone on here, in this Village. A million thanks

Much Love,

p.s. someone raise a glass for me, as I will soon be passing out.....

oh, also thank you to everybody for your help with all the crud at my house, I appreciate you all!

[yukondiva]

Wow almost a million views. What an accomplishment!

Okay Villagers, I can't sleep...gotta alot of work to do up at the house tomorrow but this is roaming around in my heart-brain so strongly I have to share right now.
You are powerful, powerful energy...each of you are living vortexes and it is time to step into your higher power fully and use it humbly and wisely. There are billions of souls on earth depending on us...and I mean that, the time has come to step up and each of you have that full ability because of your background and experiences and strength and resilience... going way back and way forward and all over the places and it is now the time to put it all to full use....go help create whatever world is necessary in front of you to help get this job done we came here to do, no kidding....the time is upon us. It will simply become one of the most momentous times of higher creation for humanity Mother Earth has ever experienced. This is about the only place this is post-able on the internet and each of you personally knows why. I Love You!

While you can't sleep I can't stay awake...
soo tired after meeting with the engineer today, and spending hours over the plans.
And so I'm asking you to light the fireworks
because in less than two hours this thread will pass an amazing mile stone.
I see Astrid, Marianne and Flash are here now to help out as well.

So I'm probably going to be the one who does the clean-up after the party tomorrow morning.

Enjoy yourselves everybody!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE
and a MILLION THANKS to all who have contributed over the last 18 months since this thread began.

I just woke up...
Thinking Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
And YES, but then the only post I saw was about close ups of beaver butts....
and sun farts.


P.S. ok...sorry about the whining..

Someone DID notice!

Thanks, everyone. (Of course, 800,000 clicks were from me, so not such a big deal.)
