Re: No new transcript.

So maybe it's an opportunity to learn to be patient :)

Re: No new transcript.

Actually, I would ask if one of the moderators could simply delete this whole thread. Again, had I known I would have never posted it to begin with and now it just seems so rude and embarrassing.

No need to delete the thread, rs - you can't have been rude if you did not know about the loss. Don't worry - no need to be embarrassed - honestly - we're all human and capable of missing things here and there, even big things.

It's an interesting subject in general, though, the idea that Laura is supposed to provide sessions on a schedule - she's not a machine or under contract. She does what she does out of pure, deep, curiosity and love, not to keep a schedule, which is why her work has such impact.

We become accustomed to things and tend to take them for granted - this is a good reminder about that, I think. :)

Re: No new transcript.

rs, I understand that you are getting a bit impatient. So are we all, including me. I just haven't had what it takes to even be in the frame of mind to sit down and do it lately. Soon, though. And if you don't mind, let's leave the thread so others might learn something? Like I'm human and DO have a life with unexpected (or not so unexpected) things that happen and take the stuffing out of me.

Thanks.

Again, I am sorry for your loss. Having lost my father at a relatively young age (he was "only" 63) I understand or at least think I do. Its been 25 years and it still feels raw. I hear people talk about "closure" and confess I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. While I have had to become used to missing my dad, I have never really "gotten over" losing him. And yes, I fully understand that it is selfish and "all about me". Ironically though, his passing however left me with a particularly profound gift that has touched me to my soul.

The original reason for my posting was not so much as "impatience" as that I had a sense that "something was wrong". I should have listened to my instinct more and done some additional research... The regularity of the pattern to the updates was quite strong, previous suggestions of issues related to disclosure were strong, so the absence struck me as "different". The problem with being predictable (or even close to it) is that others start predicting your actions...

All the best.

That is so very true, I also had similar thoughts as RS few months ago until I fully understood "External Consideration" and need for balance in giving and taking. I am also reminded of this quote-

"Such is the nature of man,
that for your first gift - he prostrates himself;
for your second - kisses your hand;
for the third - fawns;
for the fourth - just nods his head once;
for the fifth - becomes too familiar;
for the sixth - insults you; and
for the seventh - sues you because he was not given enough.".

What Laura and C's have provided is already enough food for thought for more than one human lifetime. In fact, one of the reasons I am not much active posting on the forum as I am going through the recommended books, reading SOTT and old forum threads everyday and trying to catch-up so to speak. I do not speak for Laura however her personal loss need not be the only reason to not do a session with the C's. It is her personal choice and I am sure her plate is spilling over with other projects too.

This is so true!

I am wondering rs, have you even read all of the past transcripts, or the recommended books?

yup, what can be sometimes forgotten by the 'casual reader', is that Laura and many others are basically working round the clock, non-stop, and have all kinds of 'real life' pressures to contend with in addition to the simply enormous amount of work that continuously goes into the various projects. This thread can be a useful reminder.

Re: No new transcript.

Hi rs,

I hope you have forgiven yourself. I cringe each time someone asks, as I know they will feel horrible once they discover the reason. But hopefully, what also occurs is they realize how small their desire for a new session was in comparison to the reason why it was skipped.

We can get carried away in life in so many ways, that we need reminders when we start taking things for granted.

Regarding your question about risk, I can envision a few. Perhaps someone would be assassinated if they intended to publish. I say that because I recall sessions where the C's refused to answer as it would put Laura et al in danger.

As well, I can imagine a situation where, once something that revealed powerful players behind the scenes they may chose to use their extremely deep pockets to starve Laura out in court since they have infinite funds.

These are just examples my imagination conjured. I have no clue what risks might truly be associated but those thoughts work for me.

By the way, I hear you about the loss of a parent still being raw so many years later. I remember my mother one night missing her mother so much that she was in tears, and that was a good 25 years later. Both of mine passed away about 6 years ago and I realize it isn't something you get over, like a flu bug, rather it is a new reality in one's life that you must adapt to, like losing a limb and you will be reminded of the loss often, forever. It seens that with time, we merely get used to the pain.

Take care,
Gonzo

I totally agree with this because I'm rereading "The Wave" and understand some things that were not very clear to me as say the C's: Knowledge protects but the best way to reach that knowledge is reviewing and considering all information, I believe that reading 4 or 5 or 10 books does not give us all knowledge; This is a day job, for example Gurdjieff read and reread his writings and to read aloud. So we have enough information to analyze and study. In addition to our work of self observation

This is so true!

I am wondering rs, have you even read all of the past transcripts, or the recommended books?

I have been following this web site since it was being created by hand with a text editor. In one way or another I am pretty sure that I have read all of the transcripts. Have I read all of the recommended books? Well of course not, I have to take time to eat. I have not finished all of the updates to "The Wave" or SHOTW, but most of this material was available on-line at one point in a preliminary format. But I have read many of the suggested books and more books are in my "inbox". There is simply no way I can keep up with Laura's ability to digest written material.

Yep! It is really a monumental task. I am finishing Gnosis I and Lost Christianity. And I know I have to read them again. And also doing the work it makes your time really go by very fast. I sometimes feel a sort of solitude doing the work. I see around and find myself to be different in the sense that I am searching for something that I do not know for sure if I will get. Or if i will arrive there. It is a lone soulquesting at times.

Re: No new transcript.

Yes Mixtli, it's a solitary work, but at least there is this forum :) You see that you're not alone in your quest (and not so foolish ;) ).

Re: No new transcript.

You guys don't even KNOW the piles of stuff sitting in my head waiting to do a "print dump" based on all the reading and thinking I've been doing the past 7 years. What I need is some concentrated down time to just either write it all down, or talk in front of the camera. But, of course, the general law always steps in. The camera that died with the demon child was here in February was sent to the dealer and is STILL being held hostage these many months later!

 

[Mixtli]

Re: No new transcript.

I can not even imagine the tons and tons of work that you just have to do Laura. But we are all cheering you up! I was reading in gnosis about the Soul teams. And Yours is a really really important team for our world. Many fellows around the world are counting on you (as I am sure you already know). I see the skies and wonder is this real. All this is happening for real. What holds the future. I just want to get to that stillness needed to navigate through life.

Re: No new transcript.

When I thought "well now with all this reading im getting closer of being up to speed to the point where Laura et al are..." she says that she has 7 years of information that we simply have no idea of.

part of me got simply excited with this information, and another part "dreads" that there is gonna be some serious reading and thinking to do! :)

Again Laura, its just amazing to see how you deal with things. You could be mad at this thread, and curse all of us, yet your response was calm and kind.
