Here and Now...What's Happening?

[eaglespirit]

Get Ready...There is about to be so many magical things happening in front of us that it will even be a bit much for us to handle, the ones that know and feel and have been shown of its coming : )
...

And that Snake thing...a very powerful higher thing...
The first totem pole I carved in Peru...which was created as I carved...it was shown to me what the hump in front of me on the log had to become for a 4 to 5 foot black snake slithered by right in front of me( to my utter dis-belief) while I was wondering what to do with it, well, I knew what to do with it and that beautiful creature went on its way : )

Here, listening to Edith Piaf.

Jacques Brel:
I’ll bring back to you / The clear pearls of rain / From a distant domain / Where rain never fell

Jacques Brel: I don't know why the rain / Leaves up there its old clothes, / The heavy grey clouds, /
To go to sleep on our hillsides / … / I know nothing about all that, / But I know I love you still.

Belgian news yesterday: prices are no longer increasing and the European Central Bank declares this trend a worrisome situation for when prices drop people delay bigger purchases and that in turn negatively affects the economy which in turn affects the consumer back again...

Whatever that means.

Prices are no longer increasing because people have no money to purchases even small ticket items. If people do not use their credit cards, the banksters appetites for power that feeds off others’ energy means they have to figure out another way. It’s crunch time for the greedy ones. Greater numbers are awakening to their diabolical control.

Folks struggle to pay the bare necessities like food, water, heat, electricity and shelter. Also, many people spend money when they are depressed or to make themselves feel whole. Their focus is on the external. They haven't learned the real juice is within. When the collective reaches a point that not even the small things lift them momentarily, it demonstrates where we are emotionally and spiritually.

Things cannot stay the same for long. Change will break us out of our slumber. Transition is upon us. Some of us gots our sleeves rolled up and warm blankets at the ready.

I always thought it was funny how often my are typos are the leaving out of the verb TO BE…besides being the most common device for English communication, I like to think it is because in my mind it is there, doing what it does, even though I forgot to type it.

Curiously, I noticed this when I realized I left “existing” multiple times, and also the word “actual” once in a post. I can’t decide if I’m subconsciously questing my reality, or attempting to project that constant compulsion I have on to the reader.

Most likely it’s just irresponsibility (carelessness) though, if I know myself…

And thinking of it, you just added an extra are People often forget to write down what they are trying to say, or write something rather different.

Two interesting parallel non-stories in today’s Guardian. First a lizard-lesbian kiss in Doctor Who will not be investigated. And second, ‘UK terror threat raised from substantial to severe - New level of threat, related to developments in Syria and Iraq, means attack is highly likely though not necessarily imminent’. In other words, an attack is more likely because we have upped the level. Sloppy journalese is no excuse. This makes the reverse of sense, and at best circular logic if you are not too fussy. You understand why those nasty conspiracy theorists will imagine that they upped the level because an attack is in the pipeline and nothing is being done to stop it. This non-story might just become a story, but it won’t be news.

In English writing I forget a lot, lots, and now in French I cannot make proper "conjugaisons" anymore, too used to English. So i do not write either language right lol - et non Araucaria, ce n'est pas parce que je suis québécoise, mon français était passablement bon autrefois, c'est la contamination de l'anglais ou bien la sénélité!!

About rattlesnakes ... when we were kids, you could buy the rattlers in the dime store. Little wonder they face extermination. As people continue to build on the countryside, they have to move further away to stay away from people. I can tell you from my experience they don't want to hurt people; it's a protective instinct.

I like to walk at twilight, and have a long dirt/gravel driveway. Only once have I encountered a snake on the long dark-ish walk down the driveway. Something felt wrong as I was about to step close to it, and I went to the side of it. It didn't move as I passed by. It surprised me that I was calm, because I've been afraid of snakes most of my life. My mom would take the hoe and chop their heads off.

Today I got my first pay check since returning to work. They gave me a raise! No one told me, but the communication here isn't stellar. Looking back over the last 9 years I've worked here, I see it as a situation I needed in order to get some vital growth. One more year here and I'll get a pension ... unless we all explode into a brighter world, as Eaglespirit is showing us.

Skyflower, about work ... I hope it's just a phase passing by and things will improve in your workplace. I feel quite differently about work now -- the stress is gone, I do what I can and so far it's working fine. Life is too short ... at any age. Sending you wishes of peace and strength.

Regret, Sorrow, Anxiety. Three emotions we all feel that seem somewhat interconnected. It can be difficult to reconcile these feeling, but they are all elements that weave into our individual spiritual journeys. Regret, Sorrow, and Anxiety have been deeply affecting me for the past year, and I cannot help but think of a missed opportunity that would have led me down a safer, more certain road. Did these emotions trump logic and a grounded disposition? Perhaps. But it's difficult to tell how the decision will affect me years down the road.

I received my electric bill a couple of days ago. I expected it to be a lot less because it’s been a relatively cool summer. I’ve hardly used my air conditioner. But it was higher. It doubled: 7 kWh, Aug. 2013 to 14kWh, Aug. 2014.

The only difference was that my faucet began to drip hot water. I figured I’d show it to my landlady when she came to take out my air conditioner. In the meantime, I tried to turn off the faucet under the sink, but it hardly budged. I live in an old victorian home, so I figured it was better to leave it alone.

Yesterday, I made a quick video to show her and she called the plumber. He was busy, so as a stop gap he had my landlady turn off the faucet under the sink. This morning when I came back from my walk, it was fix. I called Lori to thank her, but she said he hadn’t come. And he didn’t know which apartment. I told her not only is there no drip, but the faucet that I turned off under the sink last evening was open.

She said you must have an angel. I told her I have lots. She’s still going to have the plumber check it. I’m surprised I’m not as excited as I’d think I would be. Lots of cool things happen, but this one falls under a different category. I guess it’s because I’m still in analyze mode.

Hey Pauler, them weren't no angels, thems was house spirits!

Rattlers are not the most aggressive, water moccasins, however, will chase you! We saved the buttons from the rattler we had earlier in the summer, and cured the skin. Since squaring off with the rattler, Alvin's (the big orange bob tail kitty) swagger has noticeably increased, in spite of having "his" snake taken away, unfairly (he thinks). Alvin is a funny cat who only knows how to play rough even though he is the most friendly to the boys, and he has many spots but very few stripes. Methinks his grand daddy (or mama) was a real bobcat.

Regret, sorrow, and anxiety do not weave into the spiritual journey, rather they are impediments to it. Have you read this book? For some reason, I feel compelled to point it out to you at this moment.


EDIT

Impediment is not the right word. Such things are what we use to strengthen our will and sharpen our spirit, but such should not be confused with what is done with the impetus gained in dealing with and perhaps overcoming such imbalances.

Absolutely, God Bless The Fae. Though, I never considered them in my place.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago on Agape's thread:

Back about 15 years, I’d feel a loving presence. Some physical indicators were my skin tingled, I felt warmth radiate on one side, or a subtle touch on my shoulders. Often, I get sensation in the belly like when your high on a swing and are about to come down. Or other times, I’d get a sensation in the dan tian which is just below the belly button. I always returned a ‘hello and thanks’ message.

This one time while working on a display in my apartment, a suggestion flashed in my mind to snap photos. So each time I got the dan tian sensation, I snapped away. Then I downloaded them and saw light. The rational part of me, decided to close off all the light in my apartment and snap again. I got the same results, a large bright light.

I appreciated the confirmation, but I didn’t need it because there had been an uptick in phenomena since 1994.

Several days later I called my sister and was going to send the photos. But they were no longer on my computer or in my camera nor on DVD. (I’m OCD about back-ups with my projects.)

I’ve received critical and timely demonstrations of “you are not alone” messages. I appreciate the need for concrete proof, but often the messages are designed only for a present moment. An awareness helps merge with the event.

Even though at one level, it’s a normal part of life, I’m still filled with gratitude and joy from each new occurrence.

You're gnonna love this one, Villagers : )

My Daughter has had and has helped with numerous yard sales in the last couple of years. She has had enough and is giving it all that is stored in the garage away with "free" signs out in front of the house. Good stuff too, pull out bed couch and bed sets and china that is nice and so on and so on...She's kinda on a 'pay it forward' surge!

When I got to the house I started helping her out and then was out front organizing things a bit for awhile.

My young grandson, Ollie, yells out from the front step, "Hey Grandpa, why are you being a free thing?"
I about fell over into the road cracking up...and then said "Because it.s my destiny, Ollie, destiny!"

Such wisdom in these Kiddos...HeHeHeHe..it is all in them already, yup, it is : )

Every place has them, their nature depends of the humans inhabiting the place. Yours being helpful says a lot about you. Around my place, they alternate between helpful and mischievous, which is also appropriate, however I will say with a little coaxing even the squirrelly ones will come around and help out, too. House spirits usually start off as nature spirits, old enough to precede the structures they come to inhabit, so with a little help yours could become a lot more helpful if the house is a relatively old one. If you want to try, try leaving them gifts of sweets, the good stuff you would rather ingest yourself and will part with only reluctantly (they know the difference!) and leave it on a white plate, and maybe even a note expressing gratitude for the faucet (or whatever they have helped with recently). Such action will impart to them the "energy" they need to interact with our local physical reality, in part because of the gift and in part simply because of the acknowledgement. Speaking to them out loud is also something they seem to especially enjoy. Also, with the sweets you could leave a small glass of water, as plain and clear a glass as you have.

Dan33, I rarely get a chance to watch a movie. Someday I'll have to catch up with the classics and blockbusters so I'll know what you all are conversing about!

I do like to listen to music.

M&M's for the my Friends.... and the chocolate fish from Ben&Jerry's "Phish Food".

Several years back, the kids and adults went for an early evening walk. I caught my nephew who was six or seven give a wave towards a row of forsythia bushes. His face said it all. He checked to see if anyone saw what he saw. I leaned over and whispered, “You see them, too?” He shook his head and grinned.

Marianne congrats on your raise. It says a lot about how everyone feels about you as a person and how you contribute to the whole.

I love this stuff Ulli...thanks again for that link...more and more of us are 'getting it' : )
If You do a re-read some time Villagers, that belly-button light thing talked about really makes sense to me and hits home and I feel that when I went to that Healer in 2007 and received a surge of energy right in that spot it was a kind of an upgrader and preparer for things to come for me...we all can find this easily now...all that do the focused work : )

...
All of your past and future lives are happening right now, right here; and they are all interacting on each other. The theory of probable realities says that everything that could possibly be does in fact exist somewhere out there (in a place called the “Akashic Records”); our socialized experience of the world grabs some of these records (thought forms) and arranges them in a linear order and calls that “reality.” What we do with Creative Visualization is that we reach out to the particular record which we desire and insert it into the sequence. All this is a matter of speaking, of course; there’s no point in trying to make sense out of it all because it doesn’t make sense – but it can be used and acted upon with assurance.

‘Letting things happen rather than making things happen’ doesn’t mean we go into a stupor and just ‘let it all rest in the hands of the Lord.’ That is another thought form of irresponsibility – ‘Let God do it if He so desires.’ We have to cooperate creatively with the Spirit: not go passive, but not push push push either. This means acting when it’s time to act, when prompted by the Spirit, and refraining from action prior to that time. It means holding back and waiting patiently until the moment has enough power behind it to carry our desires forward.

If instead we wait patiently, when the time is ripe, when we least expect it, the Spirit will suddenly pop what we want up right before our eyes; and then (and only then) we make a big swoop and grab it.”

Creative Visualization is a technique – rather simple, actually – for choosing which probable reality – which future – we wish to wind up in.

Creative Visualization – i.e. casting spells, or prayer, or whatever you want to call it – is about making miracles happen.

You have to let it happen now; and let it happen by itself. You have to let go of control to make magic work (the exact opposite of what our social training has led us to believe).
