Here and Now...What's Happening?

Awesome times we live in.
Let's all nurture that inner state of appreciation so we can continue in a positive vein.
Here's to appreciating what's good, beautiful, mysterious and independent.

To good not to post. She hasn't looked at Russia, even though she can see it....
I'm sure glad someone is keeping matters light.

"Sarah Palin called for the invasion of the Czech Republic today in response to the recent terrorist attacks in Boston.
In an interview with Fox News, the former governor of Alaska said that although federal investigators have yet to complete their work, the time for action is now.
"We don't know everything about these suspects yet," Palin told Fox and Friends this morning, referring to Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who allegedly carried out the Boston Marathon attacks. "But we know they were Muslims from the Czech Republic.
"I betcha I speak for a lot of Americans when I say I want to go over there right now and start teaching those folks a lesson. And let's not stop at the Czech Republic, let's go after all Arab countries.
"The Arabians need to learn that they can't keep comin' over here and blowing stuff up. Let's set off a couple of nukes in Islamabad, burn down Prague, then bomb the heck out of Tehran. We need to show them that we mean business."
Can't See Russia...
Although hosts Steve Doocy and Gretchen Carlson applauded Palin's jingoism, they immediately attempted to rectify her multiple geographic errors.
"Well Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan, which isn't Arab," Carlson corrected, "and Tehran is the capital of Iran, which is predominantly Persian. But I do see your point."
"Also Czech Republic isn't really an Arab or even Muslim country, I don't think," Doocy added, "but otherwise what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I think most Americans wish Obama would step up and lead on this one."
Palin, however, didn't take kindly to being corrected and defended her analysis.
"Steve, that's probably one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. How is Czech Republic not a Muslim country? You saw those brothers, they were Islamic and they were Chechen!"
"Yes there were Muslim and they were ethnic Chechens," Doocy started, "but they grew up mostly in Kyrgyzstan and the United States. And more importantly, Chechens don't come from the Czech Republic, they come from Chechnya, which is part of Russia. "
"What's the difference?" Palin responded. "Isn't Russia part of the Czech Republic?"
"No, the Czech Republic is a separate country. It's part of the European Union and a strong NATO ally," Doocy noted. "But heck, why not? Let's invade. What could go wrong?"
"Yeah and while we're at it," Carlson added, "let's call the Queen of England and see if the U.K. will join us."
In a statement released after the interview, Palin attacked Fox News and its "pro-Islamic" and "pro-geography" bias.
"This is just another case of the politically correct liberal media refusing to tell the truth about radical Islam," she said.

Auracaria, my wife, in my opinion, is a WMD herself. I try not to provoke her for fear of my own mass destruction!

[PurpleLama]

Yeah, Playdo, but....

My poor ex-husband. I terrorized him without even trying or meaning to.

So true and so sad.

"If only", people say.

The opportunity is there. Yet they retreat, again, into inane behavior and excuses, distractions. If only... appears to not have any intensity of meaning or strength of intent behind it. (for many)

I really hope Vivek changes his mind. I get so much out of his posts and threads. So many bright,young gifted guys on Avalon that give me so much hope for humanity.

There seems to have been some debate about the unknowable contents of those black backpacks. It reminds me of Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince:
http://www.angelfire.com/hi/littlepr...echapter2.html

If you draw a box, you can always say there is a sheep in it. Likewise, I wouldn't stake anything on the content of those backpacks.

I see Calz is talking about boxes too Understandable: it appears we live in an egg-carton universe (paper referenced by Wilcock):

http://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/9802009.pdf

Thanks for the reminder of the Little Prince. My fantasy box is a cat...watching them and speculating what's in their minds. They seem to prefer sunshine, flowery gardens, butterfly chasing in the daytime, and the quiet of nights, solitude, soft and warm places to sleep. Maybe we ought to let their fantasy life guide humanity.

The Wilcock referenced document was unreadable to me, but left me wondering if Wilcock is either far brighter than I thought for understanding such stuff, or a sadist for pointing people into the direction of it as reading material.

I don’t know about Wilcock (who looked rather wild or something on the Awake&Aware panel discussion – post 2012-trauma perhaps), but the astronomy goes over my head too; the one thing that interests me about the ‘egg-carton’ universe is the missing ‘eggs’ – what might they be? This leads to an amazing thought that not many people can have had before, at least not in this form.

I used to know quite a lot about stackable chairs. The earliest design was by Flora Steiger-Crawford way back in 1931. Stackable furniture was a great invention notably for community halls where you can arrange it however you like for a feast or a conference and then clear away for a dance floor.



http://www.bonluxat.com/a/Flora_Stei...ett_Chair.html



What has this got to do with that? Well, egg-cartons are stackable. I know this because our greengrocer uses them several times over. Hence it occurs to me that we live in a stackable universe. It will be the mother of all disclosures when we discover that while the gods are dancing, we are in the stacked position up against the wall, and get to know our neighbours immediately above and below

@carmody: point taken, while we cannot quite dial up ‘the entirety’ of human knowledge, the egg box-shaped knowledge base is enough to be going on with to work out some of what’s being withheld, that’s for sure.

[Flash]

I had a strange dream. A very complicated dream where there was a large spread out hotel like building. I was there with friends and would often go in the restaurant, then other public rooms around and would chat with this large group of "friends", whom I do not know in this actual day world.

There is a friend who has been offered a job by an important person, seems like the Queen of Enlgand.

We were also taking care of a little dog in particular all along (there were other dogs around, but this one was of particular interest).

What I remember is that it is late at night, a group of people are discussing and the little dog in lying on a blanket with another dog. Then I realized that the little dog is bleeding from its belly button.

So we have to go and tell the master of the dog, someone knocks a door very carefully and an old woman answers, she is the queen. I have the dog in my arms so she let me in with it. I sit on the bed on which there is, under the blankets (i do not see him) prince Philip I presumed (the shape of a man) and another men. The queen is in a silk overgown. She tells me not to worry and offers me a job telling me that I would be ok and be driven to wherever I which whenever I wish. It feels strange to me.

I do not answer but have the feeling this is not fine and do not know how to react, since I would be please to have a job. I do think, in my dream, of the lizzys. Then my alarms o'clock rings.

I really wonder what this means, I never dream of the Queen....

Modwiz came for a visit last evening, in dreamtime. ing in case he stops by here.

The little dog in my dream was sequestered away from others and it had it's paws falling off. In the final analysis of people trying to help it, and to let it die naturally it was discovered that it actually had somehow contracted leprosy and another paw had come off. The decision was made, finally, to put it down (but this act did not occur in the dream) as the pain was obviously extreme and it was spending it's time trying to stand on the two remaining paws. the dog was a terrier type that was white but older so the white was dirty, with a slight curl in spots of the fur, like that of a poodle. Unkempt.

I have, for the larger part, turned the job offer down. No choice. It was never a choice.

Today I'm feeling the impact of the New Moon energies. I'm going to clean out my van and then go out in nature. I'll clean my own energy field and allow integration of the new energies.

I felt inspired to share two poems from my book, "It's A New World After All"

This first poem, Victims Become Creators was my response to 9/11. I feel that the Boston incident is another wake up call:

Victims Become Creators

Victimization once perceived
Clearly illusions, now relieved
Empowered by soul; nature unfolds
New story now to be told

Each life is impacting
‘Tis the universe reacting
Sparks of soul igniting
Passion, expression uniting

Consciously creating, essence of soul
Being inwardly, outwardly whole
Harmonizing with All That Is
Deep sensation of being this

Power of consciousness is the key
Changes within individually
Personal impact realization
Upon total world, every nation

Creating with vision, feelings of heart
New World experience; this is the start
Energy of compassion, tool to create
World, wake up—don’t hesitate!

I'm applying the wisdom of this poem today as I retreat into nature:

Green Healing

Feeling heavy energy
Chaos dwells inside of me
Stopping time just to be
Only green is what I see

Mother Nature, my reliable cure
Absorbing energy that is pure
Getting centered, being sure
Nothing more now to endure

Chakra demons blockage cease
Wheels of life get prana grease
Spiritual energy lends new lease
Deeply feeling inner peace

Love connects me to the whole
Bond with God sensed in my soul
Being present to console
Guidance comes about my role

New perspective totally
“What is” is perfect, now I see
God’s love is always a part of me
Creating a new reality


Michelle Marie Engel, It's A New World After All

I know by changing ourselves we have the greatest impact on humanity. I'm going to set mySelf right as I sit in God's Grace and attune to the Universal Heart of Love. May you all be blessed today!

Love,
Michelle Marie

Possible feedback and a thanks for the heads up, Carmody.

Wolfie's back legs are just beginning to go out from under him. One more than the other. He's a Yorkshire terrier, 15 1/2 years old. Last evening he jumped with a start out of a sound sleep several times from his bed. I checked to see if there was a stick that poked at him. His elder care appointment is next month. He's not in pain, if you don't count one very loose tooth that he won't let me near. Still full of piss and vinegar, mixed in with lots of sleep time. He prefers his walks in Mommy arms, for the most part now.

P.L. Reilly, do you and your WMD plant by the moon? how does your garden grow?

I am learning the old ways of farming, yes, and my initial results seem to bear out the effectiveness of planting by the moon, companion planting, etc.

I finished out the newest big bed out front, and have been getting the seeds into the ground following the moon this week. All else is growing well. I'll be sowing some more tomato seeds into some compost filled planters tonight, and will have more beds built for the, by the time they're ready to go out.
