Aus-Asia-Am group, as we are nearing the end of our current book, it's time to consider what book y'all might want to read next.

This post above is a list of suggested books being considered by the Am-Eu group. I would also like to propose either:
  • Sebastian Haffner's book Defying Hitler, (thread on it here),
  • Guyenot's From Yahweh to Zion (thread on it here),
  • Laura's Horns of Moses &
  • Michael Hudson's The Collapse of Antiquity (thread on it here) as possibilities.
Have a think & let's chat about that next week before we start our recording. :flowers:

Unfortunately, given my current work/Workload, I can't prioritise reading any of those books, although I'm happy to attend the workshops and hear what y'all think about them. I'll be reading Pierre's Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection next. It's long overdue that I complete that.

No worries Ryan, attend where and when you can. And regarding Earth Changes, go for it, it is an excellent book! We have read Pierre’s Cometary Encounters in our Aus-Asia-Am group. I am happy to read any of Pierre’s books, including his yet to be published book Mass Extinctions, Evolutionary Leaps & the Virus-Information Connection.

Let’s see what everyone thinks when we catch up next!
 
Hey guys, just a note that I don't think I'll make the workshop today, we have a b'day luncheon to go to and i don't think it's all finished in time. Neither the next 2 workshops btw, as i will be traveling to my family in Holland. Have an excellent last workshop with Pierre's book!

Hey y'all, the AM-Eu group just finished Pierre's Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection today! For a change of pace, and given the craziness going on with the world, we've decided on a book on stoicism by William B. Irvine called: A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy.

For an overview of the book, the folks at MindMatters dedicated an episode to it called Living the Good Life - The Stoic Way.

Hi all, I just want to thank Luis Miguel, Turgon - and all of you - for this amazing learning experience to have read 'Earth Changes' together! Also, Pecha for all the continuous summaries! Also, for the next choice, to now learn about the Ancient Art of Stoic Joy. :flowers:
 
Howdy folks,

The Am-EU group finishes chapter 42 and the conclusion of Pierre and Laura's Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection on October 27th.

I've attached the mind map below in both PNG & PDF form. For readability, I've also printed the mind map in bulleted form here:

Chapter 42: Branching Universe
  • (Luis): Quote by Paul Sédir: "It is a little late [to stop cataclysms precipitated by cosmic influence and social/ethnic diseases of humanity at large]. There should have been a few courageous men fifty or a hundred years ago. Unless an innocent being, hidden somewhere is willing to sacrifice himself, there is nothing else but to submit to it". What could this mean?
    • (Luis): The son of man from Laura's book. In the myth, Jesus (Caesar) sacrifices himself for the sins of humanity.
    • (RedFox): Is that what would have happened too if they killed Trump?
    • (Luis): The death of JFK could be the trigger of the next cycle of catastrophes. These catastrophes can be less intense for those who align with this cosmic, universal branch.
    • (RedFox): Putin & Xi in the BRIC summit--a real splitting of the worlds.
      • (Luis): Could be karmic--there are descendants of Atlantis that resisted until the end in Russia (read somewhere in the Cs sessions).
  • Sédir's words resonate with Gurdjieff's as written by Ouspensky where he states that a group of 200 conscious could change all of life on Earth.
  • How could this group of 200 conscious individuals change the world?
    • Networking with like-minded, truth-seeking individuals helps increase the pool of knowledge of the group, where each may have pieces of a greater picture to contribute. This allows access to an otherwise hidden dimension--"laws or concepts of a higher order".
    • (Turgon): According to Ark's EEQT, the more accurately an Observer can see any given system, that more that this very act of observing tends to bring the system out of chaos and into order. So just by being quantum Observers with an aim for the highest degree of accuracy possible, we can have a net beneficial effect on this reality.
  • Superconductivity may be a key towards graduation. When electrical resistance is high, electrons are more chaotic and disorganized, leading to energy leaks. On the other hand, metals at very low temperatures (information increases) a state of zero resistance--superconductivity--is achieved. There's no energy loss and electrons are highly organized. The electrons are no longer bound by most fundamental laws of physics, such as the Pauli exclusion principle, indicative of a higher level of reality.
    • Two non-mutually exclusive scenarios are possible. "The truth-resonating group could:
      1. Perceive the world in a much different way (perception change)
      2. Have an influence on the world they live in and modify it to some extent (reality change)"
    • Two folks on the opposite spectrum with respect to each other where one believes truth and the other all lies would constitute them living in two very different perceived worlds. One may experience cataclysm differently than the other due to knowledge and awareness.
    • If we apply Schrodinger's Cat to human life, there are many nodal points that can split one's reality. I.e. marrying vs not marrying, work vs no work, etc. As more choices are made, the more branches there. Individuals give birth to several universes. If those choices are based and acted on with information, then it can change that person's perception of the world as well as the reality in which he/she lives.
    • Now apply this to all humans where there's truth-resonant and lie-resonant people. Right now, we all live in the same world, but will a threshold be passed where it would constitute a huge reality split?
    • Looking at comets from a cosmic perspective, Sédir writes that comets are bringers of hope and strength that act as natural remedies leading to the expulsion of organic waste and what is no longer useful. That God never punishes, "we attract negative reactions the same way indigestion occurs in the stomach of a child who was too greedy". Cosmically, comets are a way to decrease the lie factor, providing opportunity for balance in a world full of chaos.
  • (Luis): When a metal is colder, how does it increase information?
    • (RedFox): Maybe cold temperature is a basic organizing principle.
    • (Mari): Something came to mind about fusion. Anyone remember that quote?
      • (RedFox): Quote by Gurdjieff: "Fusion, inner unity, is obtained by means of 'friction,' by the struggle between 'yes' and 'no' in man. If a man lives without inner struggle, if everything happens in him without opposition, if he goes wherever he is drawn or wherever the wind blows, he will remain such as he is. But if a struggle begins in him, and particularly if there is a definite line in this struggle, then, gradually, permanent traits begin to form themselves, he begins to 'crystallize.'"
        • (Turgon): Cs quote: "When you are doing as you should, it is effortless. Let that be your guide. There is no such thing as 'hard' work, unless one is going against the 'grain'."
        • (RedFox): Maybe Gurdjieff is relating more to automatic impulses. The Cs quote may in part allude to a sort of flow state.
        • (Turgon): Like when making a sword, it needs to be heated, then cooled, then heated again, etc. There are two states implied here, and when related to the Work, there can't always be this friction forever--people would break from that. Gurdjieff also points to periodic shocks.
  • (Luis): In one of the latest Cs sessions, Pierre mentioned in 5D that it was clear of noise.
  • (RedFox): Perhaps what those green climate people are seeing their timelines "close" before their eyes?
    • (RedFox): Remembered a story of a man who has a cave as a house. He said to the village next door that the world is ending. So the villagers would arrange a party and say their final words to each other. The next day passes and nothing happens, so they march angrily to the man, who has went back to the cave the night prior. They found him dead there!
    • (?): That REM song It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)
  • (anartist): In mainstream media, they pushed during COVID, they sought to normalize diseases that would otherwise be rare years ago.
  • (Luis): With hurricane Helene, there were those that relied on the government for assistance too much. That didn't happen, rather they antagonized the denizens more than just doing nothing.
    • (Luis): Maybe it has to happen this way--more suffering is needed to wake people up, and take their power back.
    • (cassandra): It'll take a lot for people to take back their agency.
    • (RedFox): Mainstream outside of North Carolina downplayed the true magnitude of the losses of the people there.
    • (Anya112003): Truckers are helping and people are rebuilding the roads.
General Notes
  • (mari): Read literature on the stoics?
  • Trump on Joe Rogan's podcast.
    • (Luis): Trump has it in his heart for the good of the USA, but in his past administration, he relied and hired some bad hombres.
    • (Anya112003): It's definitely worth a watch--he has a lot of good ideas.

For Next Meeting - November 3rd, 2024

Wow, what a read! We close this exciting book and look towards a new journey with William B. Irvine's A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Art of Stoic Joy for our next meeting.

See y'alls!
