    Interesting *theory* regarding 5th dimension for your discernment ...

    _____________

    Mysterious Loud Booms & 5D Earth


    by Stuart Wilde - March 31, 2013


    Linda Moulton Howe video (4.57 mins) taking about dimensions that overlap each other in an ekpyrotic universe. This theory is very interesting and from what we have seen in the inner worlds the over lapping dimensions is correct, or substantially correct. It is postulated that the loud bangs that are being heard round the world are a by-product of the overlapping process. In our lingo we’d say the celestial is folding over 3-D. Stuart Wilde www.stuartwilde.com

    Source: Philosophers-stone.co.uk





    From Wiki: The ekpyrotic universe, or ekpyrotic scenario, is a cosmological model of the origin and shape of the universe. The name comes from a Stoic term ekpyrosis (Ancient Greek ἐκπύρωσις ekpurōsis) meaning conflagration or in Stoic usage “conversion into fire”. The ekpyrotic model of the universe is an alternative to the standard cosmic inflation model for the very early universe; both models accommodate the standard big bang Lambda-CDM model of our universe. The ekpyrotic model is a precursor to, and part of some cyclic models.

    The ekpyrotic model came out of work by Neil Turok and Paul Steinhardt and maintains that the universe did not start in a singularity, but came about from the collision of two branes. This collision avoids the primordial singularity and superluminal expansion of spacetime while preserving nearly scale-free density fluctuations and other features of the observed universe. The ekpyrotic model is cyclic, though collisions between branes are rare on the time scale of the expansion of the universe to a nearly featureless flat expanse. Observations that may distinguish between the ekpyrotic and inflationary models include polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation and frequency distribution of the gravitational wave spectrum.

    Welcome to the tropics, Dan. I've been living at that slow pace for 31 years now,
    and when I go back to that other world I drive everyone nuts.


    At least one doesn't leave a lot of subconscious baggage behind ...
    Like people do who live in the western, more mind-oriented world.
    Peruvians and most other Latinos have their instincts and emotions intact...so it is easier for them to be spiritual, once they break out of the mold of the Church.

    I was just thinking about this. The formation of, the base of, the exact flow of the mind, the parts that become the undercurrent of the mind..the parts that are the unconscious of thought formation.

    The mind of the child.

    Why does NLP work?

    Simple.

    Never speak to your child as if they are a child.

    Speak to them as if they are an adult with less information.

    NLP cannot work if there is no base for it flow unrecognized within.

    NLP, for the larger part, does not work on me. I was never spoken to as if I was a child.

    If you fail to treat your child as "a child", you are not robbing them of anything.

    If you give them the atmosphere and connections of 'a child', a dreamworld of an environment, you create the basis for the prison to be.

    Awareness comes early, if you allow it to happen. Don't program your children for mental slavery and failure.

    Intelligence is a creation, a building, an unfolding, it is not specifically inherent.

    That's how I raise my kids Carmody. Also, I notice the "as above, so below", with the relationship of "the people" and the Government.

    I hate it when people say "let them be kids". I hear "do not equip them to be adults".

    Playing and having fun and being silly should not be reserved for children.

    Withholding information (& worse, lying) serves no one, to consider it protection is one of hose horribly toxic ideas that got us where we are now--with an impending ****storm about to hit a bunch of ill- equipped "adult" children.

    Intelligence is a creation, a building, an unfolding, it is not specifically inherent.

    To speak to children as if they are adults with less information, you automatically are confronted with your own programming, which is steering you to address them in a childlike way in many times.
    So, to commit to this and make the choice to always address them as an adult, you eventually both grow up

    Children are in many ways the best teachers one can find.

    Make it 10, the guitar was awesome, though all this talk of stat rape makes me a little self-loathing of the feelings invoked by all the images of gorgeous YOUNG females...
    When guys use the word "gorgeous" to label young females they are being subjective,
    and are basically driven by an instinctive desire to clone themselves,
    and hopefully with the best-looking, most attractive vehicle they can find,
    so that evolution can move forward, advancing towards more beauty and attractiveness.

    Raising kids properly means teaching them about their instinctive hormones at an early age,
    before those hormones kick in.
    Little girls need to know WHY they want to make themselves as cute as possible,
    and little boys WHY they have a need to show off, put other boys (competitors) in the shade.
    Not sure if such a future has more gender confusion or less....
    but then again, all confusion is nothing other than a challenge to seek out clarity.

    Once this unconscious behavior is known beforehand
    then perhaps consciousness will be raised, better choices can be made,
    more self awareness will play a part in one's actions,
    and everyone can make wise choices about family life,
    and not have more kids than they can later afford to educate.

    I took these of myself in the (gay-owned) hair salon I go to, and they are meant as satire. Let's see how many people will find them offensive.

    Are we programmed to be attracted to specific features? Or is there a "natural" beauty that attracts us?

    By the way, Donk, when you click on "Reply With Quote" I receive a notification that you answered a post of mine.
    Which means we can enter into a dialogue.

    I find your question really interesting, because it means we can examine our cultural programming.
    Western culture stems from Greek and Roman standards.
    Although I find it quite puzzling why so many Japanese women want to have large eyes,
    and why is the first question in Barbados when a baby is born, how light is the skin.
    Does this mean all those people acknowledge that they have been programmed already
    to subject their style to Western standards?
    Because they think/fear/know that a baby boy with very dark skin will be given less opportunities in life?

    What kind of a life is it, that won't accommodate the best anyone has to offer, but sets such standards of "beauty"?

    I've never spoken to anyone as a child, including animals. This has surprised many people in the past, even myself. Sometimes I'm surprised to find that someone I was treating as an equal (everyone) was relating to me in a very different way than I was to them, whether it be because of age difference, experience or knowledge. I've been shocked more than once when forced to realize there is a difference that was assumed that I had not been aware of.

    One of my pet peeves, due to my extreme sensitivity, is the person with the sparkling eyes, who, while they never acknowledge it overtly, is talking down to me because they assume they know something I do not and thus feel rightly superior to me. It is so obvious to me, that I cannot be in their presence for too long without getting defensive and combative.

    Happens a lot here at Avalon...

    So a blanket sorry for my automatic defensive responses in such situations seems appropriate. I am not always aware of the reason for such out of character responses, and then I feel really bad without knowing the cause.

    By the way, Donk, when you click on "Reply With Quote" I receive a notification that you answered a post of mine.
    Which means we can enter into a dialogue.

    I find your question really interesting, because it means we can examine our cultural programming.
    Western culture stems from Greek and Roman standards.
    Although I find it quite puzzling why so many Japanese women want to have large eyes,
    and why is the first question in Barbados when a baby is born, how light is the skin.
    Does this mean all those people acknowledge that they have been programmed already
    to subject their style to Western standards?
    Because they think/fear/know that a baby boy with very dark skin will be given less opportunities in life?

    What kind of a life is it, that won't accommodate the best anyone has to offer, but sets such standards of "beauty"?
    OK--I'm trying it now...I think I shied away from that feature as I ASSumed (again) that it meant the WHOLE chain was automatically there (and un-cut-downable), and I always would rather be considered a "cherry-picker" than the dude that has a post that takes 15 finger flicks (I'm usually on my phone) to scroll down through!

    Exploring your thoughts--I found it fascinating when my black friend said that he knew a lot more racist black folk than white (he grew up in private schools and continues in on in a "white man's world"), especially the African ones (a generation or not even away from actually living in Africa...and the darkness of the skin was the go-to insult.

    On the flip side, there is always an attraction to different--we call it "exotic", I prefer darker (than white) skin myself--definitely out of fear of white women -- or perhaps like you say--my olive skin tone (Sicilian genes), mirror of myself.

    I am intimidated by women taller than me, and as tall is pushing it.

    And not to be insentive--the trigger is "youth"...though to me it is not "pre-teen", whatever that is anymore...thanks to growth hormones in meat girls look 18 at 12. And out of fear (not to mention family/step daughters/sisters/etc), my bar is definitely a little higher than the "norm", in that "ideal" to me is the early 20 look, just past what is "scientifically" called the peak, which used to be 18(ish)--shifted up from 12-14.

    Remember that all this talk is super-easy for a comfortable-with-his-sexuality not-ugly white 35 year old man to spout off about--I mean no offense to anyone and know that I am someone who only gets pleasure from someone willingly, consciously, sharing with me...I would never TAKE, and the idea repulses me so much and I cannot relate to it all, so I throw sometimes throw around words or ideas that may trigger bad emotion--for that I apologize and will do my best to be conscious of everyones feelings.

    Anyway, lunchtime over and no time to edit, so forgive any incoherence--I gotta tend to the cracker factory for a bit...will sneak back when the boss aint looking.
