Here I go again...

[Al Today]

Howdy,

Every now and again I just bust out with thoughts. If I am wrong I always appreciate a mirror or a presentation of facts where I am wrong. This power of this network has much more power than I can comprehend and appreciate what I call therapy. We all follow our own path and without another set of eyes, one may lose sight of the objective.

Although I have a good number of posts, I really know nothing. With so much going on in the world, out of my neighborhood I cannot pretend to understand the sheer hell others go through. Oh sure, I have my issues and pain, but "seeing" what others must live with, I conclude that my life is excellent.

I parachuted into a STS environment and have been screwed in my head all through youth. I had an opportunity for an exit and somehow yelled out I was not done. In DOing this work, I am not the same as I was.

I "see" so much selfishness and understand that "I" cannot change this world. Maybe that's why I love blue grass/country music.

Methinks we are supposed to be selfish when it comes to our own progression. We are allowed to have anger channeled into the betterment of our world. 'Tis hard to watch the atrocities around, but methinks again we are to be warriors. Gentle as doves, sly as serpants. But I sat, I will kill to protect my family.

What brought this on?

Seems that there is some sort of global awakening happening. "Feelings" before knowledge. People know something is wrong but without the application of STO concepts, I fear for no good.

Hi Al. FWIW, I've been a fan of Bluegrass music for many, many moons. :)

Thought you might like this quote from "The Fire From Within":

[quote author=Don Juan]
In the life of warriors it is extremely natural to be sad for no overt reason. Seers say that the luminous egg, as a field of energy, senses its final destination whenever the boundaries of the known are broken. A mere glimpse of the eternity outside the cocoon is enough to disrupt the coziness of our inventory. The resulting melancholy is sometimes so intense that it can bring about death. The best way to get rid of melancholy is to make fun of it.

There is nothing more lonely than eternity. And nothing is more cozy for us than to be a human being. This indeed is another contradiction--how can man keep the bonds of his humanness and still venture gladly and purposefully into the absolute loneliness of eternity? Whenever you resolve this riddle, you'll be ready for the definitive journey.

The new seers have found that the only thing that counts is impeccability. That is, freed energy.

Pull yourself together and don't fight your fear, roll with it. Be afraid without being terrified. Put all your concentration on the midpoint of your body--a true center of energy in all of us. Fear does not exist as soon as the glow of awareness moves beyond a certain threshold inside man's cocoon.[/quote]

Maybe but given the scale of the lies and that they are succeeding I am skeptical. As always TPTB so far seems to be ontop of the situation fermenting chaos, war and riots.

Methinks we are supposed to be selfish when it comes to our own progression.

Watching all the recent atrocities especially the crimes being committed in Libya has made me know something about myself. Even if I die today and am told 'you know what luke, you have a clean bill of health, you can now proceed to another planet to continue your lessons' I will say no thank you and request to be inserted back here to do my bit so that these bastards can leave this planet alone.

What is happening is unspeakable and I don't understand how it can just happen... Makes me think of all the deaths and suffering that has been suffered by innocent victims at the hands of barbarians.. And nothing happened, they cried, they died the barbarians laughed... Not only people, but they are destroying the environment aswell, they pretend to be God, they have a monopoly over everything. All this just because they can kill and destroy, it appears death and destruction is more strong than life itself as it is currently winning hands down. The worst thing is when you hear that all this can only be resolved by bombardment and comets. Kill everyone else just to kill off the psychopaths and there civilisation. Where is the win in that?(it is like the universe is employing the classic NATO tactic of blanket bombing) THIS IS SOOOO SAD! Either way innocent people whose guilt is that they were born into sleep are condemned to die.. Argghhh! Is there no other way??

This situation comes to mind

Arnaud himself was appointed as military leader of the crusaders during the first stages of the war in 1209. This was a perfectly normal occurrence at this time, but Arnaud's love of terror and killing was perhaps above average, even for a senior churchman. It was he who was responsible for the mass burning alive of "many heretics and many fair women" at Casseneuil", for the massacre at Béziers, where some 20,000 men, women and children were killed in an "exercise of Christian charity", and for the immortal words "Kill them all. God will know his own".

Injustice is rife! I can't even describe the level of disgust if this were to happen at the hands of comets if that is the only solution...

Perhaps it might give some comfort to imagine that you simultaneously exist in several, if not infinite, dimensions. Perhaps somewhere right now, a version of you is living out an existence in a world where decisions aren't as selfish, where compassion reigns.

The universe seeks balance. So, if this world is so dark, there must be balance in some dimension or at least in higher densities.

As well, since there is no time, you are also simultaneously living in a world where nefarious forces have already lost their war on humanity and STO forces have prevailed.

Maybe we need to live our lives in this STS realm to provide balance, so that a better, alternate possibility can exist elsewhere, both for others as well as for alternate versions of ourselves.

It's a partially baked thought, but I thought I'd release it early, in case if offers any comfort.

And yes, good 'ol C&W and Bluegrass certainly affords one the opportunity to see the suffering and heartache in others, so as to draw the attention away from one's own misery:

Here, I just penned this for you. Too bad I can't figure out how to post the music. A stereotypical country song, full of misery and yet some hidden strength that keeps a man going.

Title:December 21st

'Ol dog just died,
Found out my wife lied,
She ended up leaving with another man

The kids are grown,
with kids of their own
They just don't seem to understand

How much I crave to feel them nearby
They don't even remember to call

Last Christmas was quiet, just me and these walls
And the memories we've shared together.

I'm lost in a fog,
Without even a dog,
To guide me out of this hole.
I'm alone and cold,
A forgotten old soul,
with nobody to keep me warm

On this...
the longest night of the year

The bank's foreclosing on the family farm,
That's been passed from father to son, to son.

The pickup left me at the side of the road,
The engine tells me she's pretty near done

I can't get the hay off,
Because of the rain
Can't lift a shovel because of the pain
There's no grace in aging,
With my health in the drain
I'm living the textbook country western song

On this...
the longest night of the year

Hi Bud,

Thank very you for the reminder, with all the stuff going around the world, this reminder has come just in time, thanks again :)

 

[Laura M. C.]

Hi Al,

If there is any consolation, let me tell you that you are not alone, and as I said before, with all the stuff going around the world and seeing all these victims, its hard not to feel oppressed and sometimes the feeling of "I can not change the world" as you mentioned, comes and goes like a ghost, I have been there so many times also so I think that I can understand you.

Maybe you cant (nor me, or us) change the world, but let me tell you that the posts that I have read here coming from you and others, have done so much good to many of us.

Bud: Thanks for the timely quote. It put a smile on my face.

Gonzo: Yep, in a hyperdimensional reality there is balance and worlds upon worlds perhaps without end. AND, I like your your lyrics. I heard rhythm as I read.

You know what happens when you quit listening to C&W music?
Your wife comes home.
Your dog comes home.
You get your job back.
You get your home back.
You get off the booze.
On & on...
:P

LauraFromTheSea~: Thank you. I know I'm not alone. Just gets to me every now & again living out in the "wilderness" surrounded by sleepers & ignorants. My gramma told me that ignorance can be taught, stupidity runs in families...

All is as it should be.

Ditto! Hang in there all ye Warriors! It does feel very SAD these days, what with the colder weather coming on, winter soltice around the corner, and events in the world amping up. I can't seem to ' sit back and watch the really big shew!' (as the C's have said.) But then again, like you said Al, the peeps are indeed waking up to the reality of psychopaths ruling our world, and that is a sight to watch unfold!

Just dealing with the higher ups--authoritarian personalities at my job place, is exhausting and frustrating enough, but EE and our wonderful high fat diet does make a difference--makes it possible to maintain a semblance of sanity, fwiw.
