Here and Now...What's Happening?

[CD7]

I am posting this here, as it would be off-topic on Observer’s What controls the hologram? thread, which is another search for ‘objective evidence’, which of course I don’t have. Rather than derail that thread, allow me to use the sidetrack of the Here & now, which I personally consider to be the main line to where we’re heading. Here we don’t bring theories to the table to argue over, we bring people together to chat, often playfully, about whatever comes into our heads. Tongue-in-cheek is not frowned upon.

Nicee Araucaria! Yes i go about searching in a different way, so thanks for the post, i too did not want to continue to derail observers thread--

This subject whether it b about a hologram or whtever we call it...is a great interest to me at the moment, actually has been for along time, ive just searched through different subjects to peel any layer of the onion off tht i possibly could!

After much peeling...ive come to a point where i sit back at times and go wht the heck am i in?? The world many times over reminds me of Alice in Wonderland...it appears fake to me..especially when i can see balls bouncing into each other in the air! (very similar to a tv screen when the signal goes)

Its ALL about change for me, (searching out ways to make the biggest impact) so to even venture into those directions one must KNOW wht they are dealing with...At the moment i think whether we are discussing this subject through scientific methods or from subjective/objective experience--its all the same to me--just appears different as the semantics and order of operation go by certain laws and regulations.

All in All...it is just humans cackling there ideas, theories, observations, experiences.....What makes one more noble and true?? To me its just using different symbols/expressions to formulate a conclusion WHICH still leaves us ignorant to who and wht we are...no matter where the information has come from...............

So again thanks for bringing this up and letting me spew out a little more spewg...hahahaha

In the garden today, organizing my beds for autumn plantings
Have loads of trays of babies on the go, all looking cheery and
ready for their life of sun worship.

Early Garlic crops as going in now, so i am dowsing on exactly
the right time and where to plant them

Today we have a glorious sunny autumn day, here so I'm taking some time
to prepare and bless my garden for the next season of crops.

Later i meet with some fellow energy workers in circle to take advantage of
the coming equinox, for the next 3 or 4 days we have the chance to work
with some awesome energies. Life is good.

OK, this is light and frivolous and neither earth shaking nor soul shattering... but really, this is the best place on the 'net for me to post it. (And am I ever grateful to be with like-minded yet independent beings to share with!)

So, I was gifted a copy of the movie, "The Life of Pi."

The movie itself, the storyline is very good, the acting (especially the lead character) is great. As a piece of cinematography and as art, it is extraordinarily beautiful, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable distraction from my "real" life (which has become too heavy over the past few years.) I would recommend it highly to anyone, though I know some atheists that would be irritated with the storyline, as its main theme is the character "Pi" going from religion(s) experience to direct experience with God.

Oh crap! I realize I cannot give away what was so mind-blowing to me! There is an aspect - a huge aspect - that lifts the movie from incredible to... well, nothing short of a masterpiece. I did not even see it in the movie! (Remember, we are to "suspend disbelief" in order to be entertained.) I only became aware of this aspect in the "bonus features" on the DVD. It made my jaw drop and my eyes pop.

So there, dammit! That's as close as I can get to discussing it until people have had a chance to rent the DVD, and watch the "bonus features" AFTER watching the movie. I know some of you know - but don't spoil it for others that don't know - yet.

I've been really busy lately, but am missing the Village, and also missing out on some cool conversations.
But so very happy to hear about Reilly and Lotusblossoms new baby boy....what a treat!!
Congratulations, and wishing you quiet nights. Lots and lots of love to all in your household.

Yes, I dreampt about this birth, last night. As usual it got mixed up in the day's impressions.

I've had a day where I've had to deal with a heckler, on anther forum. Finally. I had to finally shoot back. And when I shot back, I shot hard. And he went down hard. And when that happened, I turned for another shot. when I turned for another shot I nearly shot a heavily pregnant woman. Just grazed her. When that happened, she gave birth. Oh Dang. Why the heck was there a heavily pregnant woman walking through the middle of a multi-person gunfight?

I'm dealing with a bunch of young guys, so that's why there's such mental gunplay going on. It's the atmosphere they live in. When one is living in formative reality, 'pre-time', so to speak, things get mixed up.

I read the book recently and loved it, and can't wait to see the movie.
It looks so magical, and I know I will love the nature scenes and the animals, though I'm sure I'll cry during the shipwreck and drowning scenes.
And I am a big fan of the "bonus features" of movies, so I will be certain to check that out.
I think for many of us Baby Boomers whose first deep spiritual awakenings came via the cultural importing of Hindu philosophy in the 60s, this movie will reawaken many of those Eastern flavored spiritual urges.
Thanks Dennis!

Prayers and blessings LotusBlossum and Reills! Much love to you! Can't wait to see ya! Here's my song to you:

Well, the one song wasn't enough. Here's the whole album:

It's not on XBMC yet, so I haven't seen it, but I've heard the same reaction from others as a "must see". I'll keep my eye out for it to show up.

Loved the book read it when it came out years ago, loved the story. It had layers and a great ending. They often change the story when they make a movie, I am hoping that they stayed true to the original story.

holy wow,

Iceland..

I had the immense pleasure of living in Iceland when young. My first encounter with the northern lights was waiting for the bus to take me to school. I fell in love. Sometimes missing the bus. Will never forget how wonderous it was to see the dancing lights in the sky. Great picture. Thanks for the reminder of those halcion days.

We're having another snow storm ... Some 20-30 cm more ! I'm telling myself it's the last one, what I call the Crow Storm which always comes around mid-March. I'm also saying to myself that the fresh snow will help to melt the icy crusted 2-3 feet of snow left on the ground. But I'm still dreading going to freeze my butt at the bus stop.

It must be an important day for me to go to work... my radio-clock went on at the usual time even though we missed electricity during the night and was on the flashing mode. Have not figured that one out yet... the alarm-radio never never did that when we missed electricity during the night.

Be well everyOne !

Everything has gone as well as it possibly could in a modern medical environment. The hospital is the best in the area, except for a few brief moments, the baby is kept in the room with us. He is very calm, very sweet, just like his big brother was whe he was born just down the hall a few years ago.

He came just after midnight on the morning of the 18th, 6lbs 14oz, 20in long, and on Edgar Cayce's birthday, no less. Pisces Sun, Gemini moon, Sagittarius rising. My sun is Gem, and Lotusblossom's is Sag, so it works out. We are all going home early this afternoon. We are missing our older son terribly, and can't wait for him to meet his new baby brother.

Thanks for the well wishing, we love you guys.

Update from sick bay. Em did not wake up last night coughing, did not need any cough medicine. This is a big deal. She is so weak she cannot sit up, so I'm forcing some juice, though it is difficult to keep her awake to drink it. Can only get her to eat toast at this point. On the bright side, she is not complaining that it is burning her throat, either! Slow going getting her back up and around. I told her tomorrow maybe we can get her onto the couch. (I've lost track, has it been four days in bed, or five...)

I am better than yesterday, which is quite a surprise (probably not to you who are already spokespersons for Oil of Oregano, haha). Other than exhaustion, I really do feel better. My head isn't killing me, my sinuses only burn a little, my throat doesn't hurt at all. I'm...shocked (happily). We are all eating when we take it, every time, but that stuff does make you burp, haha, food or not. I can't decide what gave me a busy dreaming night, weird dreams, what kept me from resting. Will try to catch up some this morning.

Much Love, and Many Thanks

Onawah and Yukondiva, I did not read the book, and although it did receive numerous awards for "screen adaptation", I have no idea how closely the movie matches the book. If the movie was not true to the book (which, as we all know, is typical, often because inner-dialog is so hard to portray on-screen), then I would bet that there is a good chance you'll enjoy the movie anyway.

Grip, I had never heard of XBMC. It looks like a free/open source media player - do they also have titles specifically encoded to their own codec? Since this is a 2012 movie, I would not expect it to be available free for quite a while (other than a bootleg on torrent - don't answer that one publicly.) As for media players, I have been using VLC for a while, but I will check out XBMC as well.

To All, I'd say this is not a movie that should be watched on an iPhone-sized screen - the art and artistry was intended to be immersive, and bigger-than-life. I now wish I had seen it "on the big screen", rather than on a TV set.

I heard the rumor that the galactic community intends to adopt German as the common language.
