Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Carmody]

Just checked a lottery ticket, one that I won $20 on (more like stop-loss than winning). I handed it in, without bothering to check how I won it.

Today I checked it to see how I won, what category...and I missed a million by one digit.

What would you have done if you had won a million?

try to understand that in space, the only thing holding a life on any sort of track, is intensity of self, and whatever the local influences may be. Local influences either blocked or entertained.

Here, and now, we have astrology and this earth. Which is wholly local. when leaving here, we have to know how to hold it together, otherwise it dissipates, it shifts, it changes. Time, space,and reality are local.

Note that what we call an alien or other encounter, that the craft are huge, in general terms. The turtle takes it shell with it. The more evolved - the less necessary this is. This, of course, all concerns this realm, this 3-d timespace thing.

I always enjoy entertaining your perspective, Carmody. Wise words, those are. I have been doing a lot of thinking about the turtle taking its shell with it. Or the crab, haha. My friend was right, the very shell that I hide behind for safety does indeed become a prison. So I guess I went backwards, never wanting to come out. And now I am moving forward by taking risks. Scary af. With the inner work I have done thus far, I can even say that there are times I see myself interacting without the shell at all. But, I always revert. Fear is a dastardly thing. When, if even for a moment at a time, I exist outside the confines of timespace, there is obviously no shell. Neither is there fear. So my goal, of course, is to reside there more often, and maybe for longer periods of time (ha)...

Sure there are the influences of the Earth and astrology. My thinking is that the planets are conscious beings. But somehow, I intuit they are not the only influences. There is another influence. And while I want to be aware of the influence of the planets, if only to be prepared to rise above them (not saying I am successful), there is another Influence that I embrace. I wouldn't even try to describe it. I guess what I am saying is that I do not think those are the only two, even in these confines. (Reserving the right to be wrong about this as Understanding unfolds.)

Ok, since you would like to enlarge your understanding, here comes my perspective:

Planets are a hierarchy of consciousness, from mineral to vegetable to animal to human to other dimensional.

With each layer the capacity of action is increased.
The mineral world is only cohesive, it can't move unless wind and water set it in motion.
The plant world is cohesive, in addition it has growth, is sentient, but still has limited mobility.
The animal is cohesive, sentient, has movement, plus instinct.
The human world has all of the above, plus intellect and thus has the ability (in rare cases) to go above instinct and feelings.
It can rise above it's programming if an individual so chooses.
And the other dimension...we can't be too sure, as the knowledge is considered here-say.
So which part of the planet would you consider conscious?
In my view none of it is conscious, except for those who are aware that they have the option to act consciously.
And even then they can fall back into sleep within minutes and go through their lives in a routine manner.

For the entertainment value, I will bare myself and share my bizarre views on this, based on very limited understanding. I say with a smile, in case you wonder.

From what I have seen of the sun, it is quite...alive. And conscious. Now. I cannot argue at all with your description of the differences of the attributes of minerals and animals and humans. Or planets for that matter. Spot on, they seem to me. Except...that experience of what is outside our 3d experience is here-say. When I say to you that I have seen the very smallest glimmer of the inside of the sun, which obviously is other d than 3, that is here-say. Or personal experience. Depending on the perspective.

For further entertainment, haha, I will share that I think the other planets may be similar, though I think the delivery of consciousness in this system is through the Sun. I think of them, not with moods or emotions, but with attributes of consciousness.

[eaglespirit]

Ahhhhhhhh,....The Wisdom River floweth over : )

Lived and shared in 'real time'...what a concept!!!

Personally conceptionally speaking,
we are on our way to new plateaus that will become like 'natural' stepping stones, we shall be that tuned into the the higher rhythm of 'creating' for Creation sake...benefiting All in our sphere of influence, soon to find a yet higher entrainment rhythm that will benefit ALL all over the loving sphere we are riding on, Mother Earth!

Human beings can use the elements, but that does not make the elements conscious.
Just as I can pick up a microphone and speak into it, and my voice comes out of the speaker, amplified, does to make the physical amplifier conscious.
I can look at flames in a fireplace, and see all that motion, but not attribute consciousness to them, as that would diminish my station to victim hood. I can throw a bucket of water and put those flames out at any moment, and keep that fire under control.
Now, if there are beings out the, highly intelligent, they might use the sun to communicate with you, the way some of us believe crystals can transmit knowledge between dimensions. But the sun has no free will, it follows exact laws, and can't deviate by one inch from its course. We know exactly where it will be at a given time. It is subjected to the laws of nature.
Yet a human being can climb trees, even mountains, dive in the ocean, create gardens, and now replicate organs with stem cell sciences. Our physical bodies come from the planet, and when decomposed, return there. But our spirit can be anywhere any time. This is why I am careful with what I worship. Whatever that is, it has to be higher than anything I can ever imagine.
The principle of life, of absolute knowledge and perfection, and of goodness, that's who. Our sun is less than a speck of dust when compared to the origin of the whole massive universe.

Yeah, this happened to my husband at Christmas, although he won $600, a little less than his airline ticket.
Next time will be the jackpot, you will see, for all of us.

Speaking of fire, and how it can be used to pressurise one another:

Nicholas Rubin is a 16-year old self-taught computer programmer from Seattle, Washington. He is also the inventor of Greenhouse, a new browser plugin that let’s you know exactly where politicians get their campaign funding from.

When the plugin is active, the names of House or Senate members on any given webpage are highlighted. All you have to do is hover your mouse over the name of a politician, and a box will pop up showing all the industries and groups that contributed funds to their campaign, as well as how much the politician got from each sector.

These clues have led me to a new house, in a new location. And just as it did when I was looking for the past three residences, when I found what I guess is the right one for me, things just fell into place. The difference is that I'm on my own now. So rather than knowing I have someone to lean on if things go awry, and rather than knowing that at the end of the day I am not alone....well...that's just not the case. Those are the facts.

Much Love,

Congratulation on your new home, 1inMany. It’ll be easy to say good bye to that demanding lawn and temperamental lawn mower. Three cheers for economical peering down and much closer to places you’ve got to get to and the freedom to start anew.

Living alone has its perks and I’m sure you’ve experienced some of them already:

• You can leave the toilet seat up.
• Leave the toothpaste cap off.
• You don’t have to run a decision by someone that bucks at change.
• You cook what you want and the way you want or don’t cook at all.
• You don’t have to hide shopping bags in the car and answer later with, “What this old thing?”
• Those cookies you use to hide don’t taste as good now that you don’t have to squirrel them away.
• If it is your wish for a partnership, then have patience for one where love, appreciation, understanding, compassion, forgiveness, self-empowerment and wisdom is gained.

Good lovely morning, Village.

I have taken many steps forward, and it is time to sit down for a minute.
sic.............

This approach of watching for clues is not without problems, though. I have struggled with, and continue to struggle with, the existence of the internal versus the external mechanism at play when I see clues. Are these clues I am setting before myself, or are these signs from Universe? Maybe they are the same, too. I just do not know. I also see that I would more readily listen to the whispers of Universe than whispers from Me. Which, of course, is a problem of a different nature altogether. I know I must trust myself. I know I must trust Universe. And I keep thinking these are not the same. I ask myself, to what extent are these the same?

Here 1inMany, I do think that clues from the Universes are the same as clues from myself, when my ego is not involved. If i want nothing for others other than fullfilment of each destinies and growth, through wichever mean.

The difference is that I'm on my own now. So rather than knowing I have someone to lean on if things go awry, and rather than knowing that at the end of the day I am not alone....well...that's just not the case. Those are the facts.

this above resonates so much with me. How many days and years have I wished for a shoulder to lean on or just for company who can understand what I am going through. But I was alone, these were the fact as you say. Now, in hindsight, I must say that it brought me lots of worries, but mostly lots of strenght and practical know how. It really brought me to a space where I can say NO, if needed, ask for help where and when I need help, if needed (which very often is not needed but we think we need help), and know what I will not accept. In fact, it opened the door of truth without compromising (including compromising with my inner self) and of love, without compromising either. It did develop my ability to love by itself, without any support, just because it has to be the best way, applied and active in every day action. I do not know what will develop in you through being alone, but I do know it will bring you strenght.

sic.....

But at the end of the day, I am on my own. For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. Hahaha, sorry, I thought that was funny....

Yes, marrying oneself instead of someone else, trusting oneself, Learning to take care of oneself lol. In my case, my daughter was included all those years with me, but I am now Learning to take care of my own needs.


sic...
Much Love,

Much love to you too, the wonderful being that you are

Hello Villagers. Been awhile. Here and now I'll post this.
NYC is suppose to get 2 to 3 ft of snow this week. Grrr. Yep you heard that correctly. So here is some humour if I may. Here in NY when it snows it seems the consciousness of NYers need to acquire bread and milk firstly. So here I present the milk and bread video. Stay warm my friends.

We are all 1 tribe....

W.f.

This post just hit me between the eyebrows!!

Could spiritual growth equate learning to take the shell with oneself through strenghtening oneself enough (with life expériences and workings) to pass through the local influences, blocked, entertained??? Is the soul wrapping itself around earthly like expériences in order not to disperse and in order strenghten itself to hold the path she is on?

I will surely ponder for a few days, and maybe more, on that one

Ulli, I abound with your views of evolution, except for the Sun and even Earth, I do think they have much more applied creative will than we can imagine.

Thank you Paula and thank you Flash. Made me giggle and warmed my heart.

Next weekend Em and I go clean the new house, clear the old energy, fill it with Light and Good Intentions, and seal it up. Then we pack like crazy. We will move in a few weeks. I am so excited to be in my new home. One with no history, no energy entanglements. Yes, I will be free of the maintenance here, but though the yard is a third of the size it will be a challenge. It will be *my* challenge though.

I am trying to stay focused on the excitement of the new beginning rather than how scary it is to step off the cliff. After all, my Wings will catch me. And maybe I will even fly

Much Love,

[eaglespirit]

Hey Villagers...
You're All brngin' Our Higher Intentions To Fruitful Happenings...
like in the now, Here and Now! Kudos!

Love and Honor You All !!!

Calling on the village for help:

A good friend of Dennis has suffered a pretty bad heart attack, and has been airlifted to a hospital in Duluth. Dennis is headed there now.

His friend is probably in surgery now, and he could use some village healing and protection.

May all go well.

Love, Sierra

Thank you, thank you Sierra for connecting my friend Grant up with the healing energies of the good loving souls here. Grant (meet him here, if you want) is doing tremendous. Friday they got him stabilized and pre-prepped. Saturday morning was the surgery. The cardiac surgeon said the operation (which ended up to be a quadruple bypass) "couldn't have gone better." The rest of Saturday was a day of recuperation from surgery in the CICU (cardiac intensive care unit.) Today, Sunday, Grant was completely lucid (of course, will never remember the time from the anesthesia through the recovery) and cracking jokes. Said the pain was not too bad (the surgeon said "you'll feel like you got hit by a train today", but Grant told him it was not that bad, "it was a slow moving trolly car.") He has a low RBC count, so he's tired, but they won't transfuse him at all unless the red blood cell count goes even lower.

Today, they got Grant up, and had him "march"-in-place, and he sat in a chair to eat brunch. Absolutely amazing - considering that they cut his sternum in half yesterday, spread his ribs apart, and performed a quadruple bypass on him. Seventy-two years young, strong as a horse, and his lifestyle (very physical, he's an archeologist, luthier, canoe-maker/kayak-maker, furniture maker, world-class bird carver, brewmaster, CSA organic micro-farmer) helped him build extra vascular tissue around his heart - as well as allowed him this speedy of an initial recovery.

Thank you for the prayers, good vibes, healing energy, and love sent his way. It HELPED!

His significant other, Christy, got news that her sister-in-law (that Grant and especially Christy had been visiting in the hospital {she had had a severe brain aneurism} for the past 3 months) died the same morning that Christy was seeing Grant get loaded onto a helicopter to be airlifted to a hospital capable of bypass surgery. So, you can imagine the emotional tornado that Christy has been experiencing. She's here with me, getting nurtured, and we've been at the hospital most of the past 3 days together. Keep sending loving energy her way too!

Again, thank you all for your positive energy!

Love, Dennis

[RunningDeer]

Thanks for the update for Grant and Christy. Encouraging news, Dennis. Here's the link correction for "Grant's Birchbark Canoe Building Video" thread.

Grant and Christy
Sending Light
Into your Blessed space
With prayers, and Love
On this Healing Journey

And...

For who You are
For what You do
And the imprint you create
Thank you

Why not crack open a bottle and put your feet up to celebrate not winning? I seem to remember the fictional Carmody had a bit of a hassle collecting his galactic lottery prize.
