Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Calz]

... after all this time you have doubts???

[Playdo of Ataraxas]

Speaking of guitars. I caught this wimp video last week. Homemade classical guitars. I wish I had all those tools. You can tell that the guy built some of his own tools, machines, and clamps.

Ulli, that bit of land looking towards the river is simply gorgeous. Good luck with your endeavors.

Calz, is that a siamese cat? I love cats just like any other animals too...

Almost exactly one year ago I was in a QHHT regression. The practitioner had a few cats, the other one was white and the other black if I remember correctly. For some reason they constantly tried to purr alongside me when I was laying down. They were very cute and calm, but curious... My dog is calm too, ahem, when he wants to that is. He also has quite a temper too, just like me. I wonder if he could ever get along with cats... I think that the cat would teach him some humility.

[Calz]

Sure looks like it to me ...

Ah, that would be your Village bashing post in the ulli10k thread that elicited the original remark, that you be required to read the whole thread. You would actually be surprised at the wisdom and laughter contained in these umpteen thousand posts....

And, well, your anti-feline (racist?) stance has been observed, and found wanting. *PurpleLama pauses to lick his paw*

Honestly, you may have made yourself a target for my Purple Zapping Ray, but that is still way better than being targeted by ulli's atomizer. I am not exactly bothering to be offended by any or all of this, but nonetheless feel like a few pokes are in order. You can either squint hard enough to see the backhanded humor, or not.

*PurpleLama yawns and resumes his paw licking*

Thanks for opening the door for me to walk through, as I have become a Zapping Queen myself.
My biggest hurdle now is to make a website of my own….
but not feeling inspired at all. There is a site called Wix whatever,
where they have all these website templates, but I can't get going at all.
Equally I tried to make a website for my jewelry, but it never got off the ground.
I love to sit and just make those things, and each design is unique, but when it comes to selling, forget it.
I can only sell when people tell me "just shut up and take my money".

But I love nothing more than to just sit and chat with people. Lazy as can be. I blame you all.

I have the same problem. I'm the best in the world in my category of items that I make and sell. But not much in the way of sales.. as that end of things, is something I'm not interested in. The ego, and the bluff, jockeying for market, the infighting and the ..ugh.

... ugh.

You name it. Same here. Or, "me three".

[ulli]

Maybe some are overdoing that cat thing now.
But sometimes I wonder about this mystery...
Who are these handlers who make sure that
people keep getting enough cat energy?

I've never felt compelled to listen to comedy routines more than once until now,... sorry if this is/seems redundant.

Uh, we could banter that one about while others watch!



Should we?



what will we see?



Not sure?

Yeah, I know Stephen (a little bit.) Great builder, and yes, he makes really nice finger planes as well as guitars. He was a member of a luthier's forum where I'm one of the admins, and unfortunately he quit after expressing his strong disagreement with some political stuff posted in the off-topic area. Wish he'd come back...

Carmody, what do you make? If I could afford one, would I wear it on my head, or gaze at stars through it, or take it down a class 5 river, or...?

Apologies, I decided long ago to keep my anonymity intact. It may be that no one here will ever meet me or know my name. (Except for Bill and and at least one mod)

part of it is about not being labelled, or found to have a label that can be attached. To not suffer from the bias inherent in a label. More to the point, so that others may not gain a label to let the bias grow in themselves, and have it spread to others via talk. Giving without expecting return; outside any of the more problematic mechanisms that the human mind can and will muster. Interpretation of what I do or say here, will be damaged. To contribute what I can, and to do it as cleanly and as clearly as possible. I have no internal need to be known by anyone, nor a desire to hide. It is what it is, nothing more, nothing less. Being a voice of conscience, does not necessarily require including a human wrapper. In some ways, it is best if it does not.

This is a question for Simon parkes. He has about nine cats and cannot function without them. He has been talking lately about the cat connection in Egypt on his membres only thread. btw his long awaited Avalon video was posted on that thread yesterday.

[Carmody]

I recall doing some work in Egypt, back in the day. Don't know how many lives back, but I do know the time period.

I would like to listen in on that interview, but where I focus, I go.

100% with you on this one Carmody. Anonymity is by no means incompatible with good friendships, just the opposite sometimes, as you say.

The other side of the coin with this is when you do put yourself out there its interesting to see those whose succumb to the mind of LABELS or those who see right through them....says a lot about a beings character

Yes, the monkey box can be a tough one to break out of.

Ultimately, it is found to be made out of cardboard, if the walls are approached.

If one spends time urinating in fear, looking at those walls... which happens quite a bit for some... the walls do eventually become softened, making it easier to break out. The urine gets everywhere, stinks things up, and we eventually have to distance ourselves from the mess, or we run out of urine.

edit: It's the dark humour of reality, nothing more, nothing less. That no matter if an equation is written backward or forward, it still has all the same cues in it, the same beginnings and middles, and conclusions. For example, the math tells you that living in a mirror imaged world, in time, or whatever context is no different that it's reflection. That the understanding of this is a personal one to make, or -to reach. How one does it, whatever that thing may be...is their own manifestation. Choice and awareness.

Ok, Reflect on this then.
Just think how much urine is in this world,
but also how much water, ready to be absorbed
to have it's pure parts extracted in order to feed whoever drinks it,
before finally getting flushed out again as urine.
Next, how much myth was injected into this picture via photoshop,
and how much of their own fantasy each one who looks at it then brings to it.

I'm only mentioning this here as it coincided with the above post,
and I'm looking for the connection between the events.
