    Today I got pulled over for expired tabs. My tabs have been expired since last December. I've been stopped before, gone to court, presented the USC codes in regards to "vehicles in commerce" along with the Supreme Court Cases which clearly give us the right to travel without the states imposing a privilege on us. I've been fined and lost my cases.

    When asked for my drivers license, I presented the officer with my notarized declaration and he said "oh, so you are one of those" to which I replied, NO I am not. I am traveling, not driving. He did threaten me, that if I did not present a drivers license that I was going to jail, so I handed it to him exclaiming I was doing so under duress. I then showed him on the application for registration where it clearly states that registration is required for motor vehicles, with the subsequent penalty of $6000 dollars or a year in jail for making false statements. I showed him the definition of "motor vehicle" under UCC. I then told him I have sent requests to the DMV for my MCO title, and clarification (with green card and mail certification). He finally began to calm down and surprisingly, no ticket.

    He did say that the state statutes define motorized vehicle as any conveyance with a motor, and that I am risking my auto being impounded, myself thrown in jail, and until the states take back the power from the Fed then it may be best if I just go get the tabs.

    I then said, I agree the states need to stand up and take their power back, to which he agreed. I then asked him, when do you think this will happen? He said, when there is a collapse. I said, well, I don't think we are too far off. He smiled, handed me back my license and said, have a nice day.

    So, I'm inclined to go get the tabs, and put this fight behind me for now. I think my guides are trying to tell me that I am going to need to be able to move about freely in the near future, and this is not the time to take this on. I'm getting a strong sense that this was a warning to get ready.

    Singing nuns remind me of this sixties number which personally makes me cringe, so please feel free, like me, to enjoy a moment’s silence instead





    The occasional letting up of an activity is a real boost to that activity. Athletes training sprint in short bursts and walk for a while between bursts. A power drill can only go through concrete through a hammer action equivalent to a back and forward swing between blows. So Flash’s nuns are keen talkers to enhance their silent moments and gripreaper is letting up his driving license campaign. It’s all good, not weakness or cheating or anything like that.

    Astrid’s drips and ticking clocks also fit this pattern, although irksomely. Like snoring, you get no benefit from the pause, which is spent waiting for the next occurrence. Personally though, I find a ticking clock rather soothing. It reminds me of quiet moments as a child at my aunts’, which were a welcome change of rhythm from the hectic life at home.

    "DomOnique"??? Is it a joke or a misspelling?

    Anyway my mother went to a monastery school in Marseille (that is she went to school in a nunnery) and back in 63 i was living with her for 1 year in Stockholm and this song was all over the place, makes me think of her, half French half Swede so i'm a quarter and a singer.

    Have been singing a lot of medieval music in old French f.i. and feel i have had incarnations in France and one confirmed at the time of Nostradamus.
    Will tell you one of my strongest syncs in connection with him and 911 after having breakfast....

    ....mmmmm....wholegrain ecological oats with a banana i froze before leaving for the eastcoast 1 month ago

    Back to Sept 11 2001: After watching the airplanes crashing into the Twin Towers I shut off the TV at midnight and opened "The Prophecies of Nostradamus" for the first time (got it on my birthday in 1983)

    The sixth centuria verse 97 (labelled: Around 2000 and the 2:nd Antichrist) says:

    On the 45:th latitude the sky is burning
    and approaches the New City soon;
    hughe scattered fire explodes
    only then the the Normans get started.....

    There are 2 interpretations: 2 French wars and "Bombing of New York" (Cheetham) I don't see what the "Normans" have to do with the US but anyway.....

    Next morning my TV was dead and i put it in the attick only to take it down to watch The Eurovision Songcontest lying in bed with an influenza coinciding with the US attacking Iraq where i could see "the sky burning" from my bed....

    What if we meditate for a collective raise in consciousness to calm down the Syrian conflict........I also just started reading "The Synchronicity Key" by David Wilcock.

    Modern Normans are a placid lot: the proverbial answer you get from a Norman is 'Maybe yes, maybe no'.

    Ok! Where do the Modern Normans reside then? Since the interpretation seemed to include "The Normans" in "New York burning" around 2000......

    Makes me think about the Statue of Liberty donated by the French....and a funny sync is that close to our summerhouse in the far south of a "Long Island" 7 Swedish miles north of Stockholm there's this "Youth Hostel" (any age is welcome) built in American style last century and with a replica of the Statue of Liberty who has lost her head.......

    Think i prefer "Marianne" but without the violence...

    Here's a funny sync about the Statue of Liberty :
    Quote Posted by araucaria (here)
    The Secret Architecture of France’s Capital

    I am not sure if there are any readers of David Ovason’s book The Secret Architecture of Our Nation’s Capital on the forum; I was surprised to discover I am the only one to have mentioned it and Ovason, who also authored The Secret Symbols of the Dollar Bill as well as books on NostradamusHis book on Washington DC gives a not unsympathetic reading of the masonic symbology of the city plan, particularly the link between the Federal Triangle and the celestial triangle Regulus-Arcturus-Spica. Masonry here seems to go hand in hand with astrology, with great attention given to horoscope data, which is something Richard Hoagland also describes with the Nasa space program. The book does not talk about the alleged pentagram in the street plan, although this is the sort of thing we are talking about. For example, the Washington Monument, sited at the right angle, slightly off 90°, just as Spica in Virgo lies slightly off 90°, had its foundation stone laid 150 feet up on Aug 7, 1880, at 10.59 exactly – when Spica was rising. The other angles on the triangle are of course the White House and the Capitol.
    http://io9.com/5847682/are-the-stree...rm-a-pentagram

    I myself am not unsympathetic either to the use of astrology for the purpose of giving an auspicious start to a building and a fortiori to a city. Astrologers like Ulli and Carmody will and have confirmed and shown that astrology is for real. However, Ovason is somewhat naïvely optimistic; he states for instance that the symbolism of the masonic number 33 is due to, refers to the age at which Jesus died. More likely, Jesus’s alleged age at his alleged death was chosen for masonic reasons.

    Interestingly, one of the key figures behind the planning of Washington DC was a French freemason, Pierre-Charles L’Enfant. This is just one aspect of the US’s French connection, another being the Statue of Liberty. The New York version of Auguste Bartholdi’s statue is enlarged fourfold from the plaster original. A dozen bronze copies were also made and are to be found in various parts of Paris, and elsewhere in France (there is even one in Germany), and the plaster original is at the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris.

    Another copy placed on the downstream end of the Île aux Cygnes island bears the inscription IV JUILLET 1776 = XIV JUILLET 1789, equating the Fourth of July with Bastille Day. This was in the centenary year of the French Revolution, 1889 but the official ceremony was held on the fourth, not the fourteenth. So here we have concrete evidence of the US French connection.
    http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%A9...a_Libert%C3%A9

    5/6ths of the word covert is overt, just as truncating a pyramid turns a 5-sided object into a 6-sided one. The masonic number 33 is the cut-off point between the overt, below, and the covert above. Often, covert will be synonymous with nefarious, and when more than one person is involved, as is usually the case, with conspiratorial. I propose to look at how a covert masonic city planning operation actually works in Paris. Since many of the monuments we shall be looking at are recent additions (c. 30 years old), the book on which this thread is largely based implicates the French president of the day: François Mitterrand grand architecte de l’univers, by Dominique Setzepfandt, Faits & Documents, 1995.

    I shall try to distinguish my own personal comments from the author’s statements, although this is not always possible. The basic premise is twofold: alignment and its amplification of negative energies.

    a) These monuments produce an energy field. We are talking obelisks, pyramids, arches and such here. And the energy produced by these monuments is amplified by their alignment. There are five such alignments which when taken together, unsurprisingly form a pentagram, which the author drapes in the form of the ouroboros, the snake biting its tail.


    Attachment 22882



    If the energy is positive, then that would be all well and good, since the pentagram is the two-dimensional version of the complete pyramid. However (my comment), here is something not well known outside of France: Paris is the capital of a nation that likes to call itself l’Hexagone.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagon

    (my comment) The 5/6 relation is also a property of stars, which are usually drawn with either 5 or 6 points. The ambivalent reputation of Freemasonry – is it a force for good or for evil? – depends on one’s point of view (are we adding or subtracting?) and on the idea that ‘less is more’, the number five symbolizing perfection is greater than six. There is a contradiction here; in other words arithmetic substraction equates with geometric addition.

    b) This energy is described as negative; for example the underground water at one site causes headaches to many visitors, and the day it was turned off coincided with no headache. Red flag: the purpose of the site development was ostensibly to remove issues with damp! Wind at other sites has a similar effect. Another interesting example is I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre. Dominique Setzepfandt notes the beneficial effect of pyramid structures, but explains how the metallic structure here turns it into a Faraday cage. He describes how ants discovered to cluster on the intersections of the Hartmann net where hot meets cold (see http://www.crystalinks.com/grids.html) are chased away by the use of Faraday cages, which he suspects have a similar effect on humans. Also, several of these monuments are places of death and/or close to graveyards and/or built over human remains. For example, the Place de la Concorde is where Louis XVI was beheaded. Under the Place de la Bastille lie hundreds of skeletons. In other words, you have air, fire, earth and water all subverted.

    Another aspect of these monuments is the use of esoteric numerology, which takes us all the way back to Pythagoras. And here is the Greek connection. Paris, formerly called Leutèce, is possibly (probably?) named after the seducer of Helen of Troy. The Montparnasse district (housing I believe the only Parisian skyscraper intra muros) is named for Mount Parnassus near Delphi; and the church of La Madeleine (Mary Magdalen) is designed like a Greek temple. There are doubtless other examples.

    I note here that sacred numerology seems to encompass the whole number system: 3,4,5,8,9,10,17-20, and beyond. There is not much left out, so when this system is taken over by negative entities or forces, it needs to be wrested back. So, to those who see only the pitfalls in language, I have bad news for you: mathematics is similarly contaminated. But I have good news as well: just as language, which is manmade, can be used creatively to achieve positive ends, likewise numbers, which are the building blocks of the universe, can surely be decontaminated as well. That is the purpose of this thread.

    I would suggest that Pythagoras has been kidnapped and made to serve an evil goal that he never intended. I may be wrong, but part of the negative method is to suggest that everyone is on their side, and it was ever thus. I disagree. Pythagoras is famous for his square of the hypotenuse theorem exemplified by the 3,4,5 triangle (3² + 4² = 5²) and for his tetraktys, ten as a triangular number. The fact that 666 is also a triangular number is a quirk of mathematics, not an automatic identification of satanism.


    There you have an overview of this thread. I propose, as time permits, to walk down each of these five alignments, stopping off for a closer look at the monuments on the way. The backbone, as it were, of the whole edifice is the line extending from the Paris Observatory due north to a pyramid structure and passing through I.M. Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre. It will not be necessary to cover this axis in itself, as it only links sites featured on the other lines which (this is the author’s conclusion) makes a (masonic) temple out of Paris itself.

    I was going to ask you all to pass some energy Tesla's way...
    but then someone mentioned the rule about asking people's permission first.
    Was it Astrid, or Anchor, who said there is such a rule.
    Anyway, I want to know where it comes from. When I see someone in desperate need I send a wave of helpful energy instantly.
    Because to me it is obvious that Tesla wants help, or she wouldn't have shared her story online.
    Well, needing permission depends on the source of energy one draws upon, who or what one is working with. If I knew Tesla, I might suggest she get a Mojo Hand from a Hoodoo Doctor, or whatever one of those might advise. A doctor wouldn't ask permission for what they do, as the do not believe in Free Will, only Fate. That kind of sorcery is good and heavy, just like a courtroom, so to speak, and might address the problem very well. She might think of picking up a piece of yellow apatite, it is said that stone helps with legal issues.

    Speaking of Hoodoo brings to mind the one I know, I think it was maybe the second time I ever saw him was at a psychic fair, he was walking up to people and handing them this small object asking if they could identify it, then he would tell them what it was, and the typical response was revulsion, and usually they would immediately toss it back to him. My reaction was to frown a little bit, and put it to my nose to see if it had a detectable odor, which elicited a huge grin from him. The thing he was walking around and handing to people was a dried raccoon penis. After he did it to me, it was really entertaining to watch, especially when he got the same typical response from some of these immature souls who fancy themselves to be hardcore pagans, kids who act very dark and tough. I don't know I even saw him try it with any of the real wise women or men coming through the place. Later that day he gave me a deal on some of the wares he had at his booth. Sometime after that, I picked out a crystal to give him, and had it in my pocket until the next time I bumped into him at the shop, and when I handed it to him, he immediately observed that its shape was precisely that of the head of a rat, which although unintentional on my part it seemed to please him a great deal.

    I feel the 'collapse' of the "system" is nothing more then the entrainment of awareness and action now in exponential growth and deliberate self-responsibility of a higher kind along with the rhythmical energy of Great Spirit that is here now stronger than ever! And it IS here, now!

    Onward and Upward and Beyond!

    ...
    Well, Village Here and Nowers...I have been invited to a weekend gathering here in MA by the Folks I went to Chaco Canyon with in the Fall of 20o7. Looking forward to a bit of a reunion and the Spirit 'doings' we'll be doing!
    Will have You All with me in my heart of hearts : )
    ...

    Flash...show them thar Nuns what "Natural" Love is all about : )
    May You enjoy Your time there...the peace and quiet sound awesome!

    The French satirical weekly Le Canard Enchaîné has received a written complaint from the Japanese government over the cartoon below of two underweight sumo wrestlers, one with three arms, the other with three legs, preparing for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. I suspect the paper is right in thinking that this example of black humour caused less concern than the article on Fukushima that it was meant to illustrate.
    Caption: Thanks to Fukushima sumo wrestling has been made an Olympic sport.

    I happened across an ad for a show, and thought "what an odd name for a band" (Thirty Seconds to Mars)...so I looked it up on wikipedia:

    Shannon Leto said the following in an interview regarding the name of the band:

    ""It represents a lot of things. This professor had a thesis. It was talking about where technology was going; the evolution of man and how that plays a role. A sub-category was Thirty Seconds to Mars. It was like the exponential growth of humans. We are literally 30 seconds away from Mars. Everything is right here and right now; everything is just so crazy and fast."[9]

    According to an interview from Virgin Records, former member Matt Wachter said:

    "[The band's name] actually comes from a thesis that the band found online that was written by a former Harvard professor. And one of the subsections of the thesis was titled 'thirty seconds to mars' and he goes on to talk about the exponential growth of technology that relates to humans and saying that we are quite literally thirty seconds to mars. What it means to us is, we thought it best described our music, in short."[10]

    However, this purported source has not been verified.[11]


    on their fans...

    The Echelon are the fanbase for Thirty Seconds to Mars, though they reject the term fanbase and consider themselves a "family". The Echelon have created philanthropic charities based on the band's charitable work for the environment and Haiti. The Echelon are named after a song on the debut album, 30 Seconds to Mars. Concerning the Echelon, Jared Leto has stated the following:

    "Some people ask us if this is a cult. I say this: It's something special. It's not for everyone – it's only for those who understand."

    I don't know any of their music...just thought this interesting...

    Okay, what do you say to a 92 year old woman with fairly advanced dementia who says: I don't know what I'm doing. Do you say, I know you don't know what you're doing. That doesn't seem appropriate. Or do you just make something up? Or maybe just state the obvious. You're going on a walkabout. Or, you're sitting on your bed in your bedroom. I don't really expect an answer. But, I think I need to know more about this condition. Care-taking the elderly is one thing, but having no mind left is another. I am finding out though, that the body kinda has a mind of it's own, separate from the mind, if you know what I mean.

    I'm also finding out that I have a personal issue I have to work through. I don't like to wake people up that are sound asleep. Never have. Not sure why, I just really don't like to do it. Since her internal clock is basically not functioning most of the time, if I don't get her up she sometimes will just keep on sleeping. So, I have this little internal battle with myself. Should I get her up, should I just let her sleep, when should I get her up and so on. Just a stupid little thing. But, I do need to get a grip on it. She seems to appreciate my cooking though.

    My father died early with alzheimers ... tough questions.

    He slept about 18 hours a day toward the end. No idea but I would expect things are much better for those in such a state while asleep?

    Short term memory was so gone that it almost mattered not what was said day to day ... longer term memories were better.

    Not sure if this helps ... but offering some understanding and a etheric shoulder to cry on ...

    I use believe that was the case. Without permission, one would take on the other’s karmic lesson(s). But really? Who says? Those that don't want us to come together? Dogma dodo!

    It’s a time in history where many are in need of healing, be it through encouragement, support, tough love, a listener, a shoulder to cry on, or a crash course on upgrade of life tools/skills.

    We are all healers, healing all, always, and in all ways. Also, for me, healing contracts are done between Higher Selves. So the one in need of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing will at those levels decide to accept and integrate.

    Quote Because to me it is obvious that Tesla wants help, or she wouldn't have shared her story online.
    Tesla sharing her story online is a way to assist the healing process. A chance to bring light to the circumstances rather than it be incased with emotions that are labeled or mislabeled like fear, rage, sorrow, guilt, doubt. It’s a chance to listen between the words.

    To write or post is also an opportunity for: problem solving to surface, actions steps seen and taken, clarity of life changes, decisions to rid energetics that cloud thoughts and actions.

    Action is key or the knowledge dims until the next bout of the circular lessons. Get unstuck. Application on ones collected experiences and wisdoms create spirals.

    UPDATE: Clarification if needed...last paragraph is for general audience.

    Hi Calzie,

    In and out of the house. I spend too much time at Avalon. It takes away from other creative pursuits and 3D life. Going grocery shopping now.
    And, "Yeah, finally!" Wolfie says, "Walk in park."
