    That Lighthouse looks amazing. It looks like a royal queen or king in full robes.

    It is very frosty here in Scotland. This is a place i visited in India. It warms me up when i look at it.

    Quote Posted by Carmody (here)
    And..the second book, Destiny of souls. (pdf)

    From the book. some of us do it while still incarnated:

    Quote Finally, there are those angellike spirits who regularly come to Earth
    between lives simply to help people they don't know who are in distress.
    They may be healers in training, as was true with the client who
    said to me:

    My guide and I assisted a boy in India who was
    drowning and consumed by fear. His parents pulled
    him from the river and were trying to resuscitate
    him, but he was not responding well. 1 placed my
    hands on his head to quiet his fear, sent a spike of
    energy into his heart to bring warmth into his body
    and superimposed his essence with mine for a moment
    to help him cough up the water and start breathing
    again. We were able to help a total of twenty-four
    people on that trip to Earth.
    In my case, it seems, with the difficult passages. Not to help maintain life, which would be a nice little feeling to have but with something that might be a bit more difficult to deal with. Someone who is in dire straits, and may never get back. In that case, I'm not sure it would be deemed interference - At least.. it never feels like it (interference). It feels more like a 'last resort scenario'. Possibly (just musing here) something that a 'disincarnated' individual or being may not be all that ready to handle, which is the overt and potent coloration of the body's input in that moment of death. People, in spirit form, speak of not being able to reach people due to high levels of emotional coloration. Stepping in there and helping take the full brunt of that death to enable a clean separation, all while elevating them to the state required to be at peace and the heights of 'vibration' required to step into a proper transition state... whew. It sure takes a round out of me, I tell you. it leaves me messed up for a few days, for sure, but also on a high - It's a good feeling to do something so direct. I also catch the light transition phase, so I get right into the 'going into the light-afterlife' sensation at the end of it, and get tossed back. Oh, so close! Another wobbly moment or day there, in that one. Quite the mess of sensations. still..it gives a high, as messy as it can be. such strong confirmations of 'what is what' do indeed help the day to day attitude be a bit more focused...

    Then the daily conversations with folks, of the weather and what not. 'How things going?'. 'Oh, pretty average'. 'What you been doing with yourself?' 'Oh, not much, same ole' same ole' uhm.. (very surreal).

    As stated in the last few pages, heck, might be the last page of the first book (Journey of Souls), Newton says that his data is telling him that we are in the cusp or act of a change. A change in the plan, where some of us are bringing more of our 'other' selves, more of our complete selves into this life, seemingly as a form of 'in situ'...correction. More skills, more past life recall. That in most cases in the past, it was less. That the levels of skills and capacities we are seeing... the level and spectrum of it in people, is a new thing. A change.
    What you are talking about here came to me as a vision while reading a quote from Baha'u'llah...maybe 15 years ago.
    There are several places in the Bahai writings where he talks about what will happen if his followers don't spread his message around the globe as efficiently or as fast as necessary.
    In one book I read "if the Bahai's don't rise up to do this work, I will raise up the stones".
    And by 'stones' he meant people who were non-spiritual, even atheists. I was one of those stones before 1977.
    (Hey, I was even a fan of the "Stones" back then, as I have a love for gem stones to this day)

    When one reads the Bahai Writings with an open mind, their meaning becomes clear while meditating,
    as if a telepathic discarnate entity was helping with the interpretation directly.
    One of the reasons he forbade clergy interpretation of all Holy Writ.

    The other piece was more like a threat, or maybe a promise, depends whether one is identified with the 99% or the 1%.
    But he promised he would raise up "hands" ( doers) who would enter the cities and cause fear and terror amongst the inhabitants. So back then I got that he had meant ET,
    but it could also be this new generation of psychics, of kids with extraordinary powers. Looking at the newcomers of the last ten years...there are lots of seers. Also kids who have recall of their past.

    One more thing....to me Avalon is a Bahai community in miniature....
    As all Baha'i principles are being adhered to here.

    One must also remember, that even though the Bahai'i Faith comes across as a religion it is really a grassroots people movement, more political than religious, with it's own world government agenda, one quite distinct from the Illuminati plans.

    The vision is to have eventually a democratically elected world government, a federated system, with local, national and internationally organized councils.
    The religious aspect is to raise our focus to the reality that there are highly evolved discarnate beings who serve the ultimate Creator Spirit by being eager to serve us down here, at least those of us who have recognized the perfection of the master plan.

    One Baha'i principle: Religion and Science must agree.

    Sounds familiar?

    'Abdu'l-Bahá affirmed that religion and science are, in fact, complementary:

    Religion and science are the two wings upon which man's intelligence can soar into the heights, with which the human soul can progress. It is not possible to fly with one wing alone! Should a man try to fly with the wing of religion alone he would quickly fall into the quagmire of superstition, whilst on the other hand, with the wing of science alone he would also make no progress, but fall into the despairing slough of materialism.

    I like what you say Ulli. I think that the link between science and spirit is LIGHT. When science accepts that all of creation is made from Light, Whether crystal, liquid or particle, Suns, planets, life forms of any vibration. dimensions vibrating at different light frequencies. All forms of communication.

    Then science and spirit will be in balance. With two wings

    For want of two 12v lithium batteries, fully charged, the second tower garden stands incomplete. I am glad to be building these for relatives, but I will equally be glad for when the three are done. I now have a couple requests to help people build these, and everybody keep saying how I ought to sell them.

    This may express some of my feelings for my new "son in law" my daughter's new boy friend, at times, and what my deep dark side wishes at times. I never thought I could feel like a real mother in law.

    I can't believe this Ulli, true serendipity: I bought him a winter jacket for Christmas because he did not have one and was cold with many sweaters and small torn leather jacket. And i bought him good quality, you know me, the mom instincts.

    I just wish that he will find an apartment soon and a job or go back to school to finish his high school, i am tired of having him home and feeding him cause I could not let him sleep in shelters. Yes, my daughter got a street bum. At least he only smoke cigarettes.

    Hi Flash,

    I let my daughter’s second real boyfriend move in with us because I would rather him be under our watchful eye. He stayed with us for 9 months, ate a lot of food, smoked cigarettes (also thankfully wasn’t into hard drugs) and played video games all day almost every day. Then just before Christmas she booted him out all on her own. She learned so much from that experience that she now knows what she wants and a lot more about what she doesn’t want.

    After all the moving her and I did this last year the boyfriend she got about the time she moved out turned out to actually be a pretty good guy. He went right out and got a job so he could take her out and they could do things together. Plus he has a car and driver’s license. They now live together and she is happier than I have seen her in a long time. The previous boyfriend she had wrecked the car we had been planning to give her when she gets her license just before she kicked him out. The deductible was more than it cost us to fix it (although it still needs a paint job). Oh yeah, and both my daughter and her boyfriend are doing the ear gauging thing. I can’t help but think some day she’ll regret it but it’s her ears I guess. She already regrets the tattoo she let a friend of a friend give her a few years ago. Just want to say good luck to you. My daughter drives me crazier than either of my two older sons but I couldn’t imagine the world without her.

    Yes, I could not imagine my life without her either. And from quite agressive, he is getting much more quiet with us around. My daughter is still very Young, having him day in and day out around might not be the best. But we will see what happens. He seems to want to go back to school and turn his life around. So time will tell.

    I am an old and single mom (work is much harder to find) and money is slowly running out because I am out of work. This is stressing me probably as much.

    I thought i would take care of my health slowly .... life has unexpected turns.

    Thanks Here and Now for being my angs outlet.

    I promise I won't complain about the cold weather in Costa Rica again.

    Light house on the shore of Lake Michigan:



    ... that looks even colder than where I live ...

    (btw - I complain every year but am too lazy to do anything about it so there ya go)




    the real thing



    You have been caught Calz

    The lighthouse looks colder than where you live

    I am happy to present you your city then

    Next time, do not chose my place to call it your place lol

    The ice castle is an ice sculpture of Château Frontenac in Québec City.

    The Streets are from the old Québec City.

    This is a very nice old city founded in 1608, with French flavor obviously.
