    Which is apprently why I get electromagnetic wave phenomena occurring before the act or before the moment of shift in contemplation. (high hundreds of recollection of such, more like low thousands, ie, two today so far.)

    Godzilla operates on this level.

    It is not just the act itself, it is the echo-shift before it happens, The coming wave of change is sensed by this godzilla-ish thing, and it is found via that point of understanding being applied.

    At least, with my understanding of the considerations involved, at the 'problem bigger than the mind contemplating it' level.

    Conscious intelligence, the 3d intelligence, lives in the linear 3d timespace.

    The unconscious or superconscious lives in a blend of both, at least from components of the viewpoint of the conscious ego-mind writing this.

    So you can see that the problem is a bit more complex than it may initially appear to be.

    Why any organization of mundane only efforts...seem to never be able to get it done.

    It is 'temporal/dimensional shift sensing technology', that is apparently part of the blocking mechanism.

    It helps limit the doorway and make the bar be appropriately high.

    Bringing such a thing into the 3d world requires that both the mind and the object be one transformed aspect. Alchemical.

    Transformational technology requires a transformed mind/life/existence/connection.
    But, to not despair.

    To be the transformation, to be alchemy. The object, the transformation and the alchemist - are one.

    There is a way, but the ego does 'fear' to tread there, but that is it's fate. To be held back, to not a part of this. To relieve the self of the autonomous components of existence. The shackles come off when you remove them.

    I will also watch this video later, i have a constant pressure behind my eyes and am mostly tired so i can't digest too long videos and heavy stuff, will pop in and out and make short comments.
    transiten, to be honest...
    unless you have been involved in the Eric Dollard story from the beginning
    and are now curious as to it is unfolding, I would advise you not to bother.
    Why burden yourself unnecessarily?
    It seems to me that it would be more in your interest to focus on uplifting stuff instead,
    get your health in order....eyes are so important.
    At least for one week, let only beautiful imagery stream in there.

    Marianne Williamson is running for Congress

    http://www.marianneforcongress.com

    If all responsible and conscious and awake Americans were to do the same, and simply fill those chairs
    the change would have an effect.
    Just one comment, if Russel Brand lived in the US maybe he would vote for the first time?

    You're absolutely right ulli, thanks for that reminder, i just have to take a break, don't remember even if i said i had eyesurgery on my right eye, the Corpus Vitreum has loosened and if i drags the retina with it one can turn blind..also my right mouse-arm is hurting some...body-talk. See you around, i'll be here in the Unified Field.

    She had not exactly studied alchemy, but intuited all the underlying principles, enough to never lose at the gambling table.

    Where does one place the borderline between earned and unearned income? Large incomes (I am talking about real money here with no shenanigans) are made by doing something much needed or highly popular; quality may or not come into it. They are earned in the sense that this is real money straight out of the buyers' pockets. They are unearned in the sense that, against the yardstick of gross global product and the number of mouths to feed, no one can 'deserve' such colossal sums were they working 24/7/365.

    Just musing here. I know the unethicality of money is something that creeps up on people unawares, but I doubt if this can be circumscribed like that.

    On another subject, my old friend Araucaria the crossword compiler passed on today at the ripe old age of 92. I don't expect to last nearly so long, but that still leaves plenty of time.

    Condolences, Araucaria.
    He shall live on in your name, and possibly memory.

    The question about where to draw the line became one of my most frequently asked questions
    in my final years as a Baha'i.
    There was not one law where this did not come up, somehow.
    Then there were endless debates also about 'the letter of the law' versus 'the spirit of the law'....

    Like Zen koans...it became head splitting. I got out just to save my sanity.

    Hey. Almost 4:00. Just sitting looking outside. Mu puppy Eddie is dragging some yarn all over the place. If I get up, he runs like heck. It's cold out. I am home in the peace and quiet. Jim just took our grand daughter back to school for cheer practice. Which she will need to sit out. Because she has a minor concussion after being knocked out by a wayward basketball in gym class. Wonder what's for dinner.

    Thanks Marianne. I enjoyed the Scottish accent. Kindness is wellness. One of the unpleasant sides to being ill is the self-centredness that comes with it. And wellness is youth, which is probably why old people are often self-centred.

    Sorry for you loss, Araucaria.

    Yesterday, I meant to look up the word, “araucaria”. Yesterday and today, crossword puzzles kept coming up. Earlier, I was going to add the photo below before it’s modifications. I chose the other one up there instead. Now I understand why.

    Breaka, breaka, Michelle Marie, give us a hollaback!

    Michelle Marie has come into my thoughts a lot the last 10 days or so. Her video called, “Police Brutality-What You Get for Filming Durango Police” is taken down. This was her last post from October 28th.

    “Here and now...hands and wrists bandaged. At fifty-eight, I experienced my first arrest ever. It was because I was using the camera on my iPhone and filmed some cops.

    More later...I'm going to get my medical records.

    Love,

    We have certainly come a long way.

    Em and I were blasting some Christmas music in the car today. She muted the music and asked me, "Mom, who is Bethlehem?" I wasn't sure I understood the question, so I asked her to repeat it. She again asked, "Who is Bethlehem?" So I explained that Bethlehem is not a who but a where...and how it is the place reported to be where Jesus was born. I asked her how she came up with that question. There is a line in one of the songs that says "born on Bethlehem's plain." I got to chuckling. She thought they were saying "born on Bethlehem's plane."

    I assumed she meant airplane, until she expanded for me. She thought there was another plane, like another dimension, and it was Bethlehem's plane...3rd dimension, 4th dimension and somewhere out there is Bethlehem's plane...

    So first I was

    and then I was


    Yes, we have certainly come a long way.

    Much Love,
    Life is a road we don't travel alone. But everyone's on their own journey home.

    Thank you Paula, you are always so kind. I think many on the forum have been upping their game in recent months. I remember I started posting on a regular basis on this thread at a time when I felt the rest of the forum was a somewhat inhospitable place. That this has changed so much is in my view due in no small part to what dear ulli has achieved on this thread, which from being a safe haven has extended its influence to make the forum altogether a pleasanter place. If she is not blushing, she hasn’t been thanked enough for that.

    To put my namesake to bed, so to speak, here are a couple of links and an appropriate clue from a French colleague of his:

    I just don't have the proper Thanksgiving attire! Who knew I needed such a short skirt! Too late now, no time for satin shopping.

    Hope your pre-Thanksgiving day is stress free!

    On another subject, my old friend Araucaria the crossword compiler passed on today at the ripe old age of 92. I don't expect to last nearly so long, but that still leaves plenty of time.
    Sorry for you loss, Araucaria.

    Yesterday, I meant to look up the word, “araucaria”. Yesterday and today, crossword puzzles kept coming up. Earlier, I was going to add the photo below before it’s modifications. I chose the other one up there instead. Now I understand why.

    One thing, araucaria...I never blush.
    Thank you for noticing what I wanted to accomplish.
    This is one compliment I'm happy to receive, knowing that I deserve it.

    My commitment to civil discourse began over 30 years ago,
    and it was not easy to learn to control my hot-headed temper.

    To have peace on earth there really is only one way to get started...with the self.
    If each and every person were to learn how to interact with others in a way
    that doesn't interfere with the inner domain of the next guy, but still stand their own ground,
    only then can it happen.
    Of course I no longer believe that this planet will ever be a totally conflict-free zone...
    For that to happen it would have to lose its diversity, and everyone become completely uniform.

    But at least the marching armies and man-to-man battles are a thing of the past...
    now we just have to get to the level where the boys up on top grow up and realize
    that their high-tech toy war gadgets do far more lasting damage than they hope to prevent.

    At the other end of the spectrum, even right here at Avalon, we have a group of people who were all programmed
    to believe that they are entitled to an answer when questioning and even interrogating another.
    And when that 'other' vanishes without any explanation it still does not occur to them that their own behavior
    drove the newcomer away.

    Hey, why not start a thread and call it "The Interrogation Room"?
    And see how many people will stand in line to enter.

    Quote Posted by ulli (here)
    I once knew a woman who lived in LA and would fly to Las Vegas to make money gambling, '
    and for seven years she managed to win enough income to afford a high lifestyle.
    She had not exactly studied alchemy, but intuited all the underlying principles, enough to never lose at the gambling table.
    Im sure she was hated in the casinos.

    Later she became a Bahai, and as such gave up gambling, as it is considered un-earnt income...
    So then she became the manager of the band Seals and Crofts...
    and with them made even more money than at the casinos.
    A friend's mother is banned from Vegas, as she can't loose. She intuitively wins, all the time, it never fails. Natural psychic and natural card counter - Not a 'conscious act' on her part, at all. She simply wins.
    I would like to be like the mother of you friend, or like the woman who lived in LA, it would come handy these days.

    I had a week end with a beautiful group, took nature's pictures, and had a good time. I gave the forum name to a group of people, we will see what this gives.

    Mini Flash had harsh encounter yesterday with people who could be the brats interrogators in the interrogation room.

    I spoke to the dad of one girl yersterday night to see if the problems could be resolved, and let me tell you, the conversation led me to think that the term "useless eaters" was right, I would add "hopeless eaters". Those are the ones dragging us down through gross behavior and gross thinking, entitlement rights to swear at others and have everything without working, name it.

    Similar to those trolls we do have sometimes from which Ulli succeeded in raising the standards so well.

    Below 100 of IQ Carmody but with entitlements ideas and agressive behavior. It not only makes me weep to, it makes me hopeless.

    No need to say it, I was not efficient nor successful with dad and understook where the daughter took her example to follow.

    Mini Flash is still sleeping today because she could not sleep yesterday night. I now have to call the school and talk to the director because I am certain the dad will help his daughter to make sure Mini Flash is harassed and her reputation destroyed. (this is one of the girl who was part of the bullying group two years ago).

    My sense of humor is not quite as clean as some would like,
    but at least it is a way of venting my darker side:
