    You ARE The "Good", Faeryn...
    'bring it on' for You and All Those around You : )


    22.42 on 25/09/2014..Sitting alone on my purple sofa after playing the guitar for an hour, laptop on knee. Just spoken to my sister on FB. She has had a post put on her timeline about a Medium which is strange because she never has anything to do with the metaphysical. What is even stranger is that its on the 1st October...The anniversary (a year) of our dads passing She has asked me to go with her, she has a nervous feeling in her stomach telling her she should go. I am sitting here reflecting on life and wondering where I will be a few years from now as I have just started my journey into enlightenment. Its been a rough few years..I hope good is to come

    Last night, I hit an animal with my car. I wasn't going very fast (40mph.) There was nothing - and then, there was something short right in front of my car bumper. I only had 1/2 second to look at it, maybe even less, and it seems odd that I can't say for sure what it was. I suspect it was a porcupine. It thumped under the car, as its body hit the underside of my car (I didn't hit it with my wheels.) It didn't make any yelp or cry of pain. I don't think it could have been a cat or dog, because they would have looked at the car lights, and I would have seen their eyes. Whatever I hit had its head down and was looking straight ahead (again, making me think it was a porcupine.)

    I felt terrible. Kind of a punch in the gut. Just felt awful that I did not see it in time to avoid hitting it.

    I looped back around to see if I could see a dead or dying animal on the road, but saw nothing. It was night, and my headlights didn't illuminate wide enough to see if something was off the road or in the ditch.

    This morning, I went back, parked my car at a hiking trail parking area, and walked to the spot where it happened.

    Why? Why did I go? Why did I need "closure"? Why was this bothering me so much?

    There were no marks in the street, no blood. There was no dead animal off on the side of the road (I walked about 1/4 mile looking and saw nothing.

    Maybe it just rolled under my car, between the floorboard and the road, and didn't get injured (or didn't get fatally injured), and scurried off into the night.

    I was relieved not to have found it.

    Today, I though about it being a "totem/spirit/messenger" animal, trying to deliver a message to me and then..thud! rumble, rumble, rumble, and it left, dazed and confused about why humans are such assholes in giant metal boxes, and never delivered the message. Or, maybe I got the message.

    I always look for "messages" too when weird, inexplicable things happen that are in the realm of the Twilight Zone. Who do you talk to when stuff like this happens? We know or learned from experience that there are precious few out there whom we feel comfortable with talking to when weird things happen but I'm so glad a forum like this one is here to talk about such experiences regardless that it's really a toss up if some in this forum will believe you. Just being able to talk about such things is very, very cathartic.

    Dennis, if it made you feel terrible, or confused, or any other negative emotion
    you might just want to see it as a test for you to develop a sense of priorities.

    Surely your optimal functioning as a happy human being should not be at stake here.
    What use isn't to the universe to have another person join the ranks of the fretting.

    On the one hand you have these huge ideals and ideas about system change in DC,
    and on the other hand you worry about a little critter having had a knock to the head.

    Could it be that you are at some crossroads and really need to find some clearer vision what you came here to do?
    What if a bunch of such critters were to invade your house?
    Would you drop everything to place them gently back outside so that they wouldn't feel traumatized?

    That little critter was probably symbolic of you, since you yourself have just been hit by one of life's knocks.
    And you felt sorry for it.
    But maybe things aren't too bad, as there was no evidence of blood, nor animal. Obviously it picked itself up and carried on, and now that's what you will be doing too.

    Don't lose your sense of adventure, and know that soon life will bring new joy.

    Haven't been around that much lately -just lurking. Feeling wobbly and some days are better than others. Probably to be expected. But I am feeling better.

    Here and now I'm on child patrol and trying to coax a six year old into liking her vegetables. lol.

    Great posts for the last two pages guys and gals. Had some good laughs.

    Dennis I hit a little Quail bird once. I cried and mourned for the little guy for a month....

    hahahahahahahha yes, I WAS the porcupine... and yes, it does seem like I've been hit by a car.

    And yes, I am at a "crossroads", and am left wondering if I should still bother trying to deliver a message to the humans driving past me and absorbed in their own little world - or simply scurry off and become reabsorbed in nature.

    So what happened to building guitars? No orders?
    The symbolism of making musical instruments is worth exploring.

    My view when things get weird: The psych. route always seems the most plausible. Just go with it so you can make your life a whole lot easier. lol

    Love You Villagers, Deeply, Deeply, Deeply from within My Heart!!!
    ...........

    And I am sharing these very personal happenings again for some powerful good reasons right here on facebook right now concerning my son and grandson Danny's powerful Spirits and the deep, deep meaning it has for me as to the Native American and Celtic and French "real less known" loving Spiritual traditions and the loving personal healing rhythms of the 12 steps.
    This IS why I have been prompted and am doing what I have been doing currently here.

    My son Danny came to me a year before passing on and asked for my help to be firmly pointed in the direction of his own personal sobriety and is why my prior post is here...because it needs to be and I was strongly prompted.

    The Mother of my grandson Danny was a month with child when my son Danny passed on and none of Us knew. She is the most beautiful Mother on this Good Earth.
    My grandson Danny had his Father's last name on his hockey shirt when I first saw him play when I was back on the Cape a few years ago, He has his Mom's last name...Danny did this of his very own Love and fruition to honor his Father and I went quietly alone in tears after that happening.

    I put a Medicine Wheel in my Daughter's yard as a Spirit 'thank you' when I first was back on the Cape. My grandson Danny came by to visit and I explained a bit of the Native American tradition of placing corn meal and tobacco as an honoring of All Life and Ancestry and Spirit and asked if He would like to join me at the Medicine Wheel, He said yes and We went together..
    We placed some tobacco at the Heart of the Medicine Wheel and there was this beautiful purple hazed Stone resting by itself in the Wheel, Danny asked me, "Whats that?" and I told Him it is Your Dad's Spirit Being anywhere and everywhere and here with Us right now too. We placed an offering together upon it.
    I went off Cape to visit Family and Friends for a couple weeks, When I returned to my Daughter's Loving Home and went to the Medicine Wheel to leave an Offering the Purple Stone was not there. I asked my Daughter if She had seen it and She told me that when I was away Danny came by and came in the house with the Stone of His Dad's Spirit and asked if He could keep it, my Daughter of course said of course : ) Danny took His Dad home with Him.

    Listening to Richard Bach of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" audio interview.

    Just discovered his latest book was out January 25, 2014 called, “Illusions II: The Adventures of a Reluctant Student”.

    sharing...

    Police, Help !

    Prompted to stop in the local(large) police station and main desk this morn. There were heating and air People doing major repair work with the ceiling wide open listening to everything I was delivering to Denny, the officer at the front desk.The construction Men had to be there, I feel, to listen and help the energy of my talk and allow it get out fully without other officer interruption.

    I spoke with Denny, the officer, about the trade towers and building 7 in quiet quick detail and told him there is something bigger and uglier planned...coming our way, but WE CAN stop it by talking of these things in the open, and we must...this WILL stop them !

    I also spoke to Him about the Wampanoag and their hearts being in this place and the younger police officers with children that have to step up and do something now before it is too late. The younger ones especially that have not been fully damaged by the system and "know" something is very wrong...I cannot believe that Denny was actually giving a gentle nod in response.

    I said the officers have to stop listening to their unseen managers and DO something now. We have to have little community get-togethers and bring these things out and bring back the Spiritual World that was denied the Wampanoag and talk with the young People in the community and They talk to Us..
    He said, "We don't do that here" and I said... Why not,,,why not...why not, about in tears. We have to do this now for your families and our families right now. We have to!

    I will be adding more to this post through editing..but had to get this out in the open here right away.

    I turned on the news on the radio...and what are they talking about..some possible subway dilemma planned for New York...

    People, this is just the beginning if we do not DO SOMETHING right now...TALK ABOUT IT..IT WILL STOP IT...and I have to scream out loud for ALL the World to hear now!!!

    I made a Big Medicine Wheel Spiritual Energy ride all around this area in my truck with My Son Danny's Spirit and Wampanoag Spirit and Purdy to help this Higher Spirit Energy to begin to flow strongly now.

    Please put Your Spirit in this and HELP me and US..ALL of US..please, please, please wake Yourselves up and do something, please!

    I LOVE YOU ALL !

    .......
    Will be setting up a wide spreading local 'free speech' cable program to get the word out now(gently but strongly) about all of this I have been posting about and will have other People's synopsis stories and Their pertinent sharing of this also...in the works and will get done now ..please send Your Spirit Good Will, Thank You.
    ..
    Went to the local large high school(my son and I graduated and Granddaughter now goes to) to set up meetings with some teachers and will try my hardest and gentlest with the Principal and Wampanoag to do this right now...meeting to be arranged.
    ...
    Will go to the local Wampanoag gathering tomorrow to connect with more Folks that will help...and They will help...somehow I just know this and all of this will happen right now...Please Wish Me and Us the Best in This!!!

    Project into a new future..... ie make it happen..or....

    ...a reality, a past that is reflected into the always moving now.

    Scientific determinism is dead. The universe says 'not gonna happen'.

    "Only after the cat was found to be dead or alive were we able to tell if what we did was to look for a particle or for a wave," says Associate Professor Terno. "Then these three innocent-looking ideas result in predictions that would contradict an experiment. The universe simply does not work like that: you can see things to be real, or certain, but not both."

    Science illustrates that the past merely informs, it does not dictate.

    This means it has been scientifically sorted out that the universe says: remembering any pain, confusion, or fear of/in the past, is not the future, unless one allows to to be though ignorance of what is and what may be.

    Just now I am studying Remo Roth’s Return of the World Soul, seeking to complete the work of Wolfgang Pauli and CG Jung to produce a unified theory combining physics and depth psychology. The decay of a single radioactive atom used in Schrodinger’s cat experiment suggests that it can be seen in Pauli’s terms of the transformation of potential being into actual being, and has more in common with depth psychology than with empirical science. Let me explain briefly with a few quotes.

    Quote Apart from the collapse of the wave function in the act of observation well-known to physicists there is another kind of quantum leap (…) happening during the (acausal) decay of a radioactive atom. The difference between the two events is that the former happens as the consequence of an act of will – the physicist decides when and where he takes measurements – the latter is however completely independent of the will of the physicist. This means that this acausal decay is a natural phenomenon, which we cannot influence. The radioactive decay, in the light of Pauli’s epistemological prerequisite, becomes a creation and incarnation act. (…) Thus the singular decay is in principle not observable in a physical experiment fixed in space time and by will.
    (…) (in physics) we determine the time of the observation by will. In depth psychology this is impossible, since we cannot plan the ‘experiment’ by will; the contents of the unconscious appear spontaneously, i.e. acausally. Therefore, a depth psychological observation resembles much more the observation of a singular decay of a radioactive atom than the collapse of the wave function in the moment of the will-based act of observation.
    Given that the moment of decay is not observable, then the moment of death is not observable either. Which is why there is more than the ‘dead or alive’ alternative: the dead cat may be for example still warm or stone cold depending on the time gap between death and observation. So not only does observation decide what happens, it decides what has already happened. In other words the effect is acausal, probably synchronistic. Which means that there is another layer to this story, let’s call it ‘Schrodinger's synchronicity’ – namely that if the observer were analyzed prior to opening the box, it should be possible to say precisely whether the cat will be dead or alive. And as Carmody suggests, getting the observer into the proper state of mind would ensure the cat’s survival.

    Synch this just posted by Swan, “Richard Bach, on his recent NDE”. I ordered his latest book and then went for my walk this morning. The first song that came up was the one I posted earlier today.

    Quote Posted by Swan (here)
    The beautiful Mr Richard Bach speaks about his NDE in 2012 when he crashed his plane and spent 7 days in a coma.

    Richard Bach is the author of "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "Illusions".

    Here’s the summary of video.

    Published on Mar 24, 2014

    Bestselling author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Illusions, Richard Bach, joins Susan to share his "life adventure" of near death after his plane crash and how knowing that he is the perfect expression of Love helped him to rebuild his life, his plane and fly again.

    I have a feeling it’s time for me to get back to basics, and the rest will sort itself out. So many synchs over the last couple of weeks point me in that directions. Richard Bach is one example of a pattern repeating itself.

    Another synch with your Schrodinger's cat post. Last evening I reviewed the Heisenberg principle in Dr. David Hawkin’s, “Transcending the Levels of Consciousness”. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve replaced all his books because the other ones had my on-going conversations with him all over the pages. I began reading them in the late 1990’s and purchased his VHS tapes/DVD’s.

    Along with Nisargadatta Maharaj, and Sri Raman Maharshi, Hawkins’ materials were the main reasons why I left the clock world in 2004.

    Every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to discover and experience. And there's no question that you All, are with me in dreamtime, and awake time.

    Like many of you, it's confirmed through bits of conversations here and with flashes of folks who then return from their hiatus. Small examples, but confirmation that things in this world are not like what they use to be even six months ago.
