    I walk beside you
    Wherever you are
    Whatever it takes
    No matter how far

    Through all that may come
    And all that may go
    I walk beside you
    I walk beside you





    Good night Village.

    Interesting story unfolding.

    George Lucas announces plans to build low-income housing in affluent California community
    Apr 16, 2015 9:49am PDT by Jen Hayden
    91 56
    George Lucas first purchased a large plot of land in Marin County in 1978. He built Skywalker Ranch and began movie production shortly thereafter. In 1996, Marin County executives agreed to Lucas' master plan to build a movie production studio on nearby Grady Ranch. His master plan even included a wine cave that would become a grassy knoll that would hide the studio from a nearby road.
    As the project was about to break ground in 2007, nearby residents began to voice opposition saying they believed it would lower property value. Surprised by the staunch opposition to his long planned project, he eventually pulled the plug on the high-profile studio that most communities would be begging for in their own backyards.

    This week, Lucas announced he's moving forward with a new plan for the area—affordable housing for the county's lower income residents:

    Lucas, the Star Wars creator is offering his own property in west Marin County off Lucas Valley Road near Novato for the project, with plans for a community of 224 homes right where neighbors said no to his studio expansion.
    “He said ‘we’ve got enough millionaires here. What we need is some houses for regular working people,’” Lucas’ lawyer Gary Giacomini said.

    Neighbors say it is payback for blocking his studio plans. Lucas says if he can't use the land for the long-planned studio, he might as well do something to help lower income residents of Marin County—one of the wealthiest counties in the United States. The median home price in Marin County is an eye-popping $950,000.
    While his neighbors are sticking by their claims that he is delivering payback, he's quick to brush those accusations aside:

    “It’s inciting class warfare,” said Carolyn Lenert, head of the North San Rafael Coalition of Residents.
    Mr. Lucas said in an e-mail that he only wanted “to do something good for Marin,” waving away accusations of ulterior motives.

    “I’ve been surprised to see some people characterize this as vindictive,” he said, adding that there was a “real need” for affordable housing here. “I wouldn’t waste my time or money just to try and upset the neighbors.”

    Whatever the motive, this move could mean real affordable housing in one of the Bay Area's most unaffordable areas. Kudos to George Lucas.

    And here is one for those who would like to see the door slam behind the Monsanto pest.

    http://prn.fm/he-holds-the-patent-th...nge-the-world/


    If there’s anything you read – or share – let this be it. The content of this article has potential to radically shift the world in a variety of positive ways.

    And as Monsanto would love for this article to not go viral, all we can ask is that you share, share, share the information being presented so that it can reach as many people as possible.

    In 2006, a patent was granted to a man named Paul Stamets. Though Paul is the world’s leading mycologist, his patent has received very little attention and exposure. Why is that? Stated by executives in the pesticide industry, this patent represents “the most disruptive technology we have ever witnessed.” And when the executives say disruptive, they are referring to it being disruptive to the chemical pesticides industry.

    Just to make clear how despicable this gets, try transposing that attitude to property to the people involved. I’ve just been rereading “Boule de Suif”, a short story by Guy de Maupassant, in which, in a wartime situation a courtesan becomes involved with some well-to-does, who take her food but provide none in return, and who force her to prostitute herself with the enemy in order to save themselves, without losing their disgust and contempt for this trollop.

    Hi All!

    Why don't i go more often to the village? It's becuse I get too caught up in pples private lives and problems, reflected in my codependency pattern South Node conj Neptune conj Moon in Libra that i get overwhelmed feeling guilty for not taking equal part in everyone. Also I'm still struggling with late stage Lyme develping into fibromyalgia, recurring fatigue and a chronic inflammation mimicking a constant state of influenza. I have better days in between though and I'm altering between my home in Gothenburg and my 93 year old father on the east-coast.

    I'm hopping around now and then in other threads though, see you there

    I have seen your posts on other threads and feel that you are doing a really great service with your penetrating mind and heart.
    Not appearing in the Village more often could be protection for you, as well. I don't judge people for not coming here all the time. It is not always the best place for someone with complex health issues. The are problems here, like elsewhere.
    Everyone is free to do as they please. I appreciate the fact that you showed up to explain. Wish I could make your Lyme disease go away. Maybe our healers here could do one well-aimed healing blast in your direction.

    Did the recent eclipses affect any sensitive spots in your chart, by the way?

    My sister use to work at Twentieth Century Fox when George Lucas and Steven Speilberg just started out there. George decided to build SkyWalker Ranch which is on Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio, CA. So he hired she and a few others and moved up to San Rafael area in the interim.

    Up until about five years ago, she and her husband were the Ranch Managers. They lived there. Her husband is still employed in a PR capacity. Because I had summers off, I stayed for extended periods of time. I was one of his lunch guests (a tag along with my sister). He had two of his three kids with him, his son, Jett and daughter, Katie. I learned that he was a regular guy when he excused himself to change his son’s diaper.

    SkyWalker Ranch sits on 5000 acres of land. There were a couple of concerns the community had with him building. Fire safety with the increased traffic such as cigarette tossed out the window. Parking lots filled with cars would detracted from the neighborhood. George Lucas solved it by building his own fire department including certified EMT. Many times the SkyWalker Fire Department is the first to arrive at the scene of an accident. Lucas Valley Road is windy with some hairpin curves and is steep in spots. And they’re on call for the community as well. He built an underground parking garage. And designated a huge parcel of land for the ranchers’ cattle to graze. They’re active in many community projects too.

    There’s a vineyard at SkyWalker Ranch. I got a chance to submit a label design for his wine collection, but it didn’t make it. There are dinning areas for guest and staff. All the food comes from the organic garden and free range animals. There’s also a daycare center for staff, a softball field with lights for organized teams, an indoor and outdoor pool, duck pond and boats alway available, full work out gym with high tech equipment, indoor basketball court, dance hall and spotless showers facilities.

    Every 4th of July, George Lucas has a picnic. Staff and families spend the day with families of big name producers, composers, artists, etc. There are games, rides and arts and crafts for the kids, cooks outs, music bands, etc. I’ve been to a couple of them. A photo of me in a rope pulling contest made it into one of their annual yearbooks.

    It’s a pristine environment and beautiful place to walk. If you don’t want to walk there are bikes all around to get from one place to another. Oh, and underground tunnels for the deer.

    Sophie, on page 66.

    I went to the library today and just before leaving, impelled to grab that other book and...you know, just have a look (that's how it always starts ) I already had difficulties balancing the piles of books I was holding when I got there. I opened it randomly, on page 66, a poem called Sophie.

    Now that can count for a sync. This Sophie is following me everywhere, and I still don't know who she is. But I'll find out, some day...before I'm 66.

    (I have more to write about, but my hands stilll have dough on them and I need to water the plants and empty the kitchen cabinets for some scheduled piping work, and so on. All very exciting stuff so I might be back later and add some stories).

    IIRC, there is a TED talk on this subject, by this man?

    And this subject matter is too close to others' plans for humanity?

    We have this odd thing called Morgellons -and much more, that is more subtle, more insidious.

    My sister use to work at Twentieth Century Fox when George Lucas and Steven Speilberg just started out there. George decided to build SkyWalker Ranch which is on Lucas Valley Road, Nicasio, CA. So he hired she and a few others and moved up to San Rafael area in the interim.

    Up until about five years ago, she and her husband were the Ranch Managers. They lived there. Her husband is still employed in a PR capacity. Because I had summers off, I stayed for extended periods of time. I was one of his lunch guests (a tag along with my sister). He had two of his three kids with him, his son, Jett and daughter, Katie. I learned that he was a regular guy when he excused himself to change his son’s diaper.

    SkyWalker ranch sits on 5000 acres of land. There were a couple of concerns the community had with him building. Fire safety with the increased traffic such as cigarette tossed out the window. Parking lots filled with cars would detracted from the neighborhood. George Lucas solved it by building his own fire department. And they’re on call for the community as well. He built an underground parking garage. And designated a huge parcel of land for the ranchers’ cattle to graze. They’re active in many community projects too.

    There’s a vineyard at SkyWalker Ranch. I got a chance to submit a label design for his wine collection, but it didn’t make it. There are dinning areas for guest and staff. All the food comes from the organic garden and free range animals. There’s also daycare center for staff, a softball field with lights for organized teams, an indoor and outdoor pool, duck pond and boats always available, full work out gym with high tech equipment, indoor basketball court, dance hall and spotless showers facilities.

    Every 4th of July, George Lucas has a picnic. Staff and families spend the day with families of big name producers, composers, artists, etc. There’s games, rides and arts and crafts for the kids, cooks outs, music bands, etc. I’ve been to a couple of them. A photo of me in a rope pulling contest made it into one of their year books.

    It’s a pristine environment and beautiful place to walk. If you don’t want to walk there are bikes all around to get from one place to another. Oh, and underground tunnels for the deer.

    I just watched a short documentary on George, as narrated by George. He seems like a genuinely good person.

    Which is probably why some are working hard to tear him out of the system that he created (quite successfully, by the way), when they denied him entry to the studio system.

    The vast majority of what you see in modern filming, technically, even the idea of how it is filmed, its self..the devices..the cameras, even that is due to George.

    Is there a vast conspiracy by lesser people of sociopathic intent, people of cunning and weakness?

    I don't doubt it. I've never doubted that the problems of this world are created and enabled by small minded lesser people, whom I do not speak in whispers about. People whom are enablers of a thing of greater depth, a group that hides behind these lesser people.

    There is a series called 'world's greatest film directors', and it is 1/2 hour episodes of the directors speaking on their lives. Origins and then their paths and aspirations. some of them were very frank about the idea of social responsibility.

    John McTiernan, of the Bruce Willis die hard directing fame, was specifically speaking about souls, dimensions, doorways and the projection and creation of reality via the visions seen in a film. How garbage films were immoral and very dangerous in the idea of reality creation and flow, within a society.

    John refused to direct the first Die Hard film, as the finished script was about terrorists. He asked that it be changed to being about robbery, as that is not a projection of terrorism. They changed the script, and he directed the film.

    Nomads, was originated or it's premise was on the Inuit's technique of verifying..while out alone... that an encounter out on the ice or whatnot, was a real human not a demon or djinn. That the person or Inuit in this case, has specific communication cues and clues about approaching this 'person' or not.

    Ie, ley line and hot spot encounters with dimensional doorway situations, dealing with predatory beings. This is directly related to Missing 411. So yes, there is a fictionalized account of some of the 411 scenarios, and it is a film called 'Nomads', done in 1986.

    If the encounter is about being alone, being susceptible, when alone, then we are dealing with cumulative energies and cumulative issues regard the steering of reality.

    Which takes you directly to his feelings and statements of responsibility in film making for the creation and direction of reality, for humanity. John McTiernan 'gets it'.

    My thoughts after reading these two posts, and also on how hardships can appear on an individual's life screen.

    There are two domains, or levels. That of the individual and that of the collective.

    Someone who has not yet integrated all aspects of themselves,
    and are in denial of the less wholesome personalities they give vent to,
    will suffer hardships due to the consequences of their actions.

    And then one day, everything clicks and self knowledge appears. At that moment all sorts of synchronicities happen, and one's wishes can quickly become reality. This means they have found their inner God, that magic wand; call it what you will.

    And after that enlightening event they soon wonder what comes next.
    And logically, the next level is the collective. Here it is no longer exclusively about the individual.

    You will live inside of your deeds in the future. And so one better starts to get to work on helping the collective or what else is the point of life if the world around us goes to hell?

    So these individuals, although they have learnt to get what they desire, still have to face hardships.
    Those earlier hardships, which were thrown at us by our own unresolved subconscious, and were parts of our inner dungeon, are now silent.

    Yet new hardships, greater than before even, are happening. So you have martyrs for important causes. So I asked myself why do these selfless people still have to suffer ?
    And so the answer was whispered into my ear:
    Because of identification with humanity at large, the individual person attracts all the unresolved shadow stuff from the
    collective.
    Because if they lived in a state where they used their new powers exclusively to improve their own lives, and there are many of those, their own future will never deliver in the long run.
    So this is what the sacrifice of the great old masters was about....

    The moment one sticks one's neck out for a particular cause these days it is SHTF time.

    But if one has a group of enlightened people who see all this in the same light, IE unity of vision, then one can move things forward more effectively and one's suffering is reduced.

    The key to get there is brutal honesty with oneself, and even each other, without a trace of malice.

    The lesson is that there really are thinking caring people, knowledgeable people in the given systems, even the motion picture environment - and that this is an ever changing ever evolving battle, as it has always been. Overall, the impression is that Hollywood is full of corrupted people and that is true, but there is an offset concern that is capable of changing things. Most people in that system aren't aware of the depth of the issues surrounding projection of and in consciousness and simply pursue the money or the power... but that is changing.

    Basically, for a person to get to the point of understanding the issues of consciousness and reality creation ----being a sociopath gets a person there sooner, not later. The hard clear minded sociopath gets to that logical conclusion first, as the emotions that get in the way of rumination are not there. They merely got there first. (stages of emergent clarity have people wrestling with the desire and fear based components, as the initial form and steps of that function, which is the experiences that humanity as a whole and individually are now wrestling with)

    The conclusion is that our frontrunners in the emergent clarity of humanity have been sociopaths, and as a whole..... represent a stage, not an end point. The trick is to see the whole of it and know it, and not get caught up in this stage as being an end point (fear and desire ruling reality creation and flow)... to understand that - and continue past it.

    As humanity changes and the people who ride on emotional projection as a way of flowing in life, also begin to arrive at a greater clarity, they wrest control away from the sociopath based projection. That is where the sociopathic try to throw the fear based wrecking ball in the evolution of self in the more emotionally minded. They use fear and desire, baser emotions...as that is what they know. Thus the fear and desire based and considered Albert Pike scenario.... is the weak end of the pool, not the strong. Control, fear, and desire is all you seem to see coming out of that quarter. Again, lesser humans, not greater. I was told by one person, that 'fear works better', but that is like beating children or whatnot, and it is the mark and sign of weak small minded people, not leaders, progressives, or stand outs in society.
