A cool little occurrence (simply an observation, but cool one IMHO)

[Ansuz]

So....after joining the Cassiopaea forum, for a reason NOT directly (at least not consciously or deliberately as far as I am aware of it) related to The Work, I have blown the digital dust off of my pdf versions of some of the written works of Ouspensky and Gurdjieff. I do have previous exposure to and have also used some of the concepts and techniques found within this stream. Specifically I've explored the idea of approaching a program of willed self development, growth, by attempting to deliberately initiate "conversations" and "agreements" between personality and essence (Odin and Loki) and then to OBSERVE. This I have applied to my study of Germanic Runes and specifically rune meditations/explorations but other "streams" as well.

So I have a folder on a hard drive called "RUNES" which transliterates, at least in my current views, to "mysteries". Inside that folder I keep other folders of various topics and sub-topics that I consider to be a study of "The Mysteries". It's huge and one of those folders happens to be called WTF. I tend to drop notes to myself which are written, photo's, www links, and etc. of/to topics and occurrences that, as I navigate daily 3D life trying to remember to stay awake, I suspect to be of value for further exploration. In any case this is one, even if just anecdotal, that I thought I might share. Perhaps a positive distraction from the big pandemic fear campaign. As a side note: I just saw a reference on one of the weather websites to "the flu epidemic" and my e-mail inbox is filtering out large numbers of "survive the pandemic" scams.

So my daughter is learning to drive a car and I take her out practicing. The first thing we do usually is go to the gas station and she fills up the tank before we go off exploring the countryside for a few hours. This happened last Sunday as we pulled into the gas station/junk food store.

(Dad) "What side is the gas filler on?"
(Amara) "My side, the driver's side", "what pump should I use?"
(D) "Pick one that is open and pull up so you can fill the gas tank up"

She pulls up nice and easy, accurately, and smoothly to pump number 9, gas tank on her/our left side.

(A) "Is that good?"
(D) "You tell me"
(A) "Yep, it's good"
(D) "Cool, shut her down and pop the gas door"

She did and we get out of the car to follow the gas pumping ritual. Our little petrol energy addiction I call it. Selling the residues of previous civilizations and life so that we can burn our ancestors and hurl our meat wagons with little physical effort along the surface the BBM. (yep I'm warped) Being observant the first thing I see is copper on the ground where I'm going to put my feet. Obviously a penny and hey, look it's "heads up". So I pick it up and drop it into my vest pocket. I set the pump up, using digital money, so she can fill the gas tank up and then watch her complete the task at hand. We get back into the car and take off for the day's driving practice. I wanted to look over the receipt for the gas to make sure some crafty digital "entrepreneur" hasn't piggybacked a nice bonus for themselves onto our gas purchase and to do that I need my bi-focal glasses. All is well on the fuel purchase so while I can see clearly I pull out the penny for a quick look.

The first thing I see is that it's real copper and it's not just a penny but a wheat penny (old U.S coin). Flip it over and look at the date.....I swear I heard G and P.D. laughing at me. Of course I created the "importance" and "connection" there...but still what are the "odds"?



After having JUST started re-visiting ISOM and TFW, literally, NOW they're throwing copper at me from other dimensions. Probably not but then again I thought it was worth noting to myself and perhaps to share with some of you as we travel the 3D together, perhaps hoping to catch a wave. It's funny that the first rune in the elder futhark is Fehu, (cattle, gold, mobile wealth, so money) and that my current understanding of the essence of this rune IS value. It's a penny, NO ONE else picked it up because it's not "worth" anything. Chump change and nothing to even put an effort into most folks would say. I'm glad for it and grateful. There are many people with plenty of "money" that are definitely NOT RICH. At least not in the sense that I consider to be of any great value.

Arthritis is aching today pretty good and bunches of folks are withdrawing and self isolating. I thought a post of something light might help to brighten things a bit. Certainly it is things like this, however small and seemingly insignificant, that I like to acknowledge. It keeps me busy and mostly out of trouble.....hahaha

I hope that all of you remember to stay awake and more importantly don't beat yourselves up for falling asleep. Just WAKE UP AGAIN....and again...and again. Observe and learn is all I can do.....for now.

Interesting story, thanks for sharing. I don't pick up coins because I think they're too dirty, especially at a gas station. There's a superstition that you have to give it to someone if it's on tails. I did a quick look on old coins and it seems a 1938 penny is only worth a few bucks max.

So I guess it being copper is of more interest. I suppose finding a four leafed clover on St. Patrick's Day would be auspicious. I've been "casting" a rune each day with an app on my phone since over a year now, so I'm sort of familiar with them. It's interesting to find out how the theme plays out during the day, and sometimes I can't make any correlations when the day is over. Yesterday I had Berkana, or birth. That was very clear because we had some changes at work, especially preparing for the corona craziness.

You are a great narrator, Ansuz. Or maybe the Universe is the narrator but you have a talent for putting it into words for a wider audience in some poetry-like fashion. Thanks for sharing that lovely story.

Arthritis is aching today pretty good and bunches of folks are withdrawing and self isolating.

I thought a few posts here might help to find some solution:

...

Currently, DMSO has been proven to effectively treat inflammation in the body, which includes arthritis, atherosclerosis or clogged arteries, chronic pain, stroke, head injuries, sports injuries, cataracts, cancer, and burns. DMSO decreases pain by blocking the nervous system, reducing swelling and decreasing inflammation.

...

I recently finished a helpful book giving an overview of the benefits of red light therapy and how to go about it with regard to dosing, the suitability of what's currently on the market, etc. The book is called Red Light Therapy, by Ari Whitten, who is an energy and fatigue specialist with a BSc in Kinesiology, a PhD in Clinical Psychology, and 2 advanced certifications from the Nat’l Academy of Sports Medicine. He hosts a podcast on his website.

...

Rates of improvement based on consistent use of R/NIR light
-pain; 20 minutes
-cuts or injuries; variable (heals much faster)
-hair loss; several weeks or months
-arthritis, a few weeks or months
-cellulite reduction; a few months
-wrinkle reduction and anti-aging; a few weeks

Recovering from Arthritis

In 2008 I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 23. I started taking methotrexate three years and then decided to stop treatment because of side effects. In 2011 I married and the disease was in remission, my husband suggested I do the paleo diet and started in 2013 with good results...

Well thank you anka and I also appreciate the links very much. I will look into what is being said and perhaps try some things.

Currently I use various medicinal mushrooms and CBD, and NO opiates, but I'm always open to new information and knowledge.

I've been trying to get the doctors to prescribe a little A-frame cabin with a hot tub in the mountains.......no luck yet but it brings humor.

 

[anka]

Definitely search through the Diet & Health board, full of treasures. Perhaps a detox protocol would bring along some great results so FIR sauna (blanket) could be something worth getting for yourself.

As far as I know, CBD can surely get you some relief but does not deal with the cause. Is that the case with you too?

 

[Ansuz]

Absolutely it does not deal with the cause. I consider it a maintenance technique for reducing the intensity of chronic pain but it does not block it and definitely isn't a cure. But that's the value to me since the pain definitely indicates defect and damage in the joints. (Most of the lumbar and pelvis) If I block the pain using something like naprox-sodium or other OTC pain reliever then I forget that the root is there and act like I'm in my 20's, well probably 40's, again. NOT good after it wears off.

Indeed I will be looking through the Diet and Health board. I always feel way better when my garden is growing and I limit packaged commercial foods. I can eat fast foods at all they make me ill (as in repulsed "normal" reaction ill). Even good clean water is getting hard to come by.... Stretching with meditative breathing exercises, and visualizations, also helps me greatly.

I CAN'T wait until I can edit my posts........even if this post is just noise along the path to editing privileges. But I CAN'T eat fast foods to correct the above typo.
