I think it could be much meaningful if "Homo Sapiens" was replaced with "psychopathy" or "psychopaths".

Thanks for this session!

Gosh! I'm gonna remember this date, as on the 21st and 22nd I had the most troubling and sleepless nights ever. It started with a thunderstorm, and I've still got issues about which side of the bed choose to fall asleep better, switching continually on 4 sides, right-left up-down, pretty exhausting business.

I was asking around always about this "zombie" scenario, truly upset by what I was hearing on the news, but no one seemed to notice and looked as 'dropping from the clouds' or incredulous when updated with that news. Found only two out of 15 individuals who knew and followed on the news this sort of fiendish syndrome.

Great the reminder for all to remain vigilant and do the Work, and receiveinsights!

I must confess that I haven't felt a great deal of Joy recently, if not in a few occasion. It is a never ending struggle to face this economic crisis, having that few money you earn readily swept away far before the end of the month.

It's like the C's reminded us that Hope in Consciousness is strength, and a World without consciousness is going to go tilt the PTB business sooner or later. Live your life fully facing every aspect of reality you might step into, and that stream of Joy could be seen, indeed! :) Thanks again!

Thank you Laura and crew, this was a very interesting discussion!

I have to say that my initial reaction to the session was not one of joy and it took me a day or two to reflect on what was said. Particularly the part regarding genetic glitches that may create a situation where you can't really rely on your own thinking. That sure brings home the importance of networking and participating in this forum to help each other and light the way if/when we get off track. And for that opportunity, I am eternally grateful!

As I was gardening today and thinking about the coming changes, this poem popped into my head and I thought I would share it. It is one of my favorites and is very comforting to me.

House by the Side of the Road
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the place of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell apart,
In a fellowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze the paths
Where highways never ran-
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

Let me live in a house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by-
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as I.
I would not sit in the scorner's seat
Nor hurl the cynic's ban-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

I see from my house by the side of the road
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ardor of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife,
But I turn not away from their smiles and tears,
Both parts of an infinite plan-
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

I know there are brook-gladdened meadows ahead,
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on through the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night.
And still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice
And weep with the strangers that moan,
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like a man who dwells alone.

Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
Where the race of men go by-
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish - so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's seat,
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.

Ditto. I really enjoyed it. :)

 

[big-picture]

In the midst of turmoil can be excitement. I have always thrived during the chaos. May it be a simple power outage or something much more extreme. All in all this planet will go through some big changes. And like the C's I have been excited and ready for some time now. It it when the natural cycle continues to play out that we will see the biggest polarity differences and the greatest changes! Remember without pain there would be no way to experience joy. Cheers to
Humanity, we're in for a ride!!

 

[Turgon]

Thank you for posting this session, Laura! But what I am most appreciative of at this moment is the dialogue that has happened between forum members since then.

I've spent the last three hours (I'm a slow reader) reading everyone's thoughts, feelings and responses to this latest session, and that, more than anything has been incredible, to say the least. For those who don't know, I have trouble both dealing with and containing my emotions, so I often bottle it up and become rigid and shelled up. I have been feeling this way for the last few weeks, trying to break free of it. When I end up in these states, my perception is often of being disconnected from everything around me along with an overall sense of underlying mistrust and anxiety - which often leads to anger.

When I read this latest session, I found it difficult, if not impossible to partake in any joy, even though I know why a cleansing needs to happen. I see it and feel it, the direction society and people are heading in. How everyone around is just concerned with their day to day, soap opera dramas and full-fledged beliefs in the 'status quo' that's being maintained by media and government. The subtle programming that pops up everywhere in culture, leading us to slavery and the worship of material goods over, and at the expense of all else. There isn't even the slightest inkling that the world as we know it might end and that if only more people would wake up to our dilemma, could something be done about it. And here I am, all alone, struggling to maintain a strategic enclosure, to be as externally considerate as I can while trying to understand how much I can and should say without violating the free will of others who may not want to hear anything about what's happening, or even care to have a thought about it. A joyless task. So I ask myself, what's the point!?

I find myself worried about myself and what is going to happen to me in the future. How I'm not ready for these changes and still have more Work to do, and that I'll never be prepared in 'time', that I'm disintegrating. Me, me, me ... But through reading this thread, I felt myself soften up quite a lot. The first time I've felt like this in a while. Christian's video link opened this up, not because it evoked an emotional response, but from the shock that I didn't respond, when normally music touches me very deeply. I only then realized that I really had 'shelled up' that nothing was getting through at all.

Muxel, the point is that humanity is capable of such beauty and joy - that in creation and music one can see the divine in normal human beings and, in that, it's easy to remember why there is reason to hope at all.

Muxel, I think your reaction to this video can give you something meaningful to reflect upon. Do you see the absurdity in saying that there is no point in enjoying something beautiful because it won't last forever? Nothing lasts forever, and there is no free lunch, so it is important for us to enjoy the good aspects of life when we can. Otherwise we become just as heartless as this world wants us to become.

But the point isn't, "Oh, look at this video and forget/ignore everything else - a la 'bread and circuses'". The point is, "with all we consciously look at every day, all the death, the pathology, the lies, the suffering, the disease, the hopelessness - there is still the potential for beauty and creation in this species that is really the whole reason we struggle so hard to make a difference in the first place." It's a very simple thing - just a reminder of the humanity in humanity and that, alone, can bring tears in this day and age when true humanity has become such a rare and fleeting thing.

Of course it was staged and, yes, it's an advertisement - but can you see beyond that to the joy that human beings playing music together can bring and how just that simple event can evoke powerful emotions in people trapped in a world gone mad? Having an open and active emotional center is really - really - important. In fact, you can't get any where esoterically without one. Perhaps videos like this can help stir a little positive emotion in a world where it's very hard to find impetus for such? Just a thought.

Which prompted me to watch this video of a symphony orchestra that finally brought out the tears that have been welling up inside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82QHiUvY5E

And it's times like these where the realizations start to hit, how insignificant, yet unique we all are or can be. That if we die, at least let it be with an open emotional centre/heart so there can be acceptance and understanding of the Universe's and Earth's need to cleanse itself of the damage we, as human beings have caused it over the last 10,000 years. And instead of worrying about myself all the time, care for others and tend to their needs, which requires energy taken away from maintaining illusion and the neurotic mind and shifted toward awareness geared to the reality of the situation. Instead of anticipating the future, gain small victories against the predator, here and now. Make this my Aim, one that I know I'll falter at or forget many times, but seems to be the only worthwhile way to spend the time we have left.

Turgon:

Nicely said, and I agree.

 

[Turgon]

When one factors the context of this place and the truth of that statement, glimpses of what could be are essential so as to give our struggle some meaning, but I don't trust images and my response to them anymore, I only trust actions. Joy, love, trust, etc, they are phantoms to me. Serenity is what I seek, I don't care for joy, I only care to know, learn and understand. I still listen to music though, but just as background noise when I am using the computer which is close to the living room and the t.v. It is merely a tactic so that this mind can function better in the midst of all this.

I know that I am just as mechanical and the state I have found as most useful to constantly struggle against this, is not joy, but serenity, so I cultivate that above any other state of mind. With serenity, I can be and observe without expecting anything from anyone or anything, but with such states as joyous rapture the little I have encountered of it that is, my judgement is numbed, I am at peace and do not seek anything, it is not useful for me in my aim and so I do not cultivate it.

For some reason, these statements remind me of these comments made by the C's, in particular what I bolded. You say you are searching for peace, serenity, which is a noble attainment. I do enjoy what small times of serenity I receive, but learning can and does lead to joy (sometimes not), depending on the lesson, and trust is essential to have with people who are of like mind. So there is something deeply missing in what you are saying if from my understanding, joy, love and trust are an expense not worth considering in your striving for serenity.

Q: (L) So what's this Sri Sri guy into? (Craig) He's [teaching "Art of Living" breathing/meditation]. Is this a worthwhile program for the benefit of mankind?

A: In certain respects, yes. But it is lacking balance.

Q: (Craig) Which area does balance need to be improved?

A: Remember that nearly the entire world was against the war over sixty years ago and it came nonetheless. Meditation to calm the mind and commune with higher realms will do nothing to balance this realm.

Q: (L) Clearly from my experience, meditation to master yourself and your reactions is a very beneficial thing.

A: Yes. But then what does one do with that mastery?

Q: (Craig) It serves to help people who don't know how to control their mind or their emotions.

A: Yes. And teach them when where and how to use those emotions for change. Overcoming emotions so that one is not affected by what is out there and inside is little more than becoming an automaton.[...]

Q: (Craig) Is it one of the best tools we can use to revive people's humanity?

A: Yes. But don't forget the balance. Facing reality and mastering the self alternating with meditation for recovery.

Thank you for your post bngenoh; it reintroduced me me to my own tendency to detach myself from the workings of the world, which is sometimes for me pure escapism. That could be different for you, but it is a useful reminder for me.

And thank you Turgon for the quote; it undelines the need for finding the right balance between constructive detachment and positive interaction.

Thank you the quote from the Bringers of the Dawn, Galaxia 2002.

...
I believe timely to put some quotes of Bringers of the Dawn

...
What is your responsibility in this? How willing are you to change? The time has come not to just talk
about it but to do it. As you commit to change in your own life, you automatically make the change
available to the entire planet.... Earth is about to reestablish its integrity and let you understand the importance of loving yourself by loving Earth. Love yourself and love Earth, because they are the same.[...]

[...]Earth changes will also bring
about a joining and triumph of the human spirit because men and women will go out to help other men
and women when disasters occur. This bonds people.[...]

...." One of the most incredible things that can happen in any society occurs when everyone's security is taken away. Courage begins to blossom like a freshly planted garden because people have nothing to lose. Humans begin to stand up.[...]
...
The outside world represents to you what is going on internally with you. So if the world is falling apart, what does that represent? It represents the falling apart or collapsing of what is inside in order to create the rise of a new system and a new energy. It is imperative for you to love and bless the changes within societv and not move into fear or anxiety about what is presenting itself. It is your task to be in the vibration of knowing, even without sense, that in every event there is an opportunity for Spirit to do its work and to uplift. ... Bless these changes that come to Earth and, in these events, trust that what you want with clarity will be manifest. You will find yourself tested. You will say, "Am I a victim here? Is the world collapsing around me? Or is it uplifting itself around me while everything is seemingly in the midst of collapse?[...]

... Something inside of you will say, "My God, has the world gone mad? What are my values? What is the most important thing now for my survival?" And Spirit will come in and guide you to tell you what is the most important thing for your survival. ... the most important things will be your spiritual values and your life. ...

It was most 'timely' and appropriate for me, and after a little pondering brought forward what I need to work on - internally - in terms of spiritual values, and more importantly, buffers that need clearing to allow these spiritual values to 'blossom and flourish'. And, again from a little pondering, confirmed what my external priority projects are for working on, for the benefit of others and the plane, universe.

A: The cosmos is going to clean house!!!

I had strange sense of relief to read those words and can understand the joy for when it through, but this is going to be one rough ride.

A: We mentioned an infinitesimal slowing of the planet's rotation causing everything to "open up"?!

Q: (L) Yes, you did.

A: We were being literal in that instance.

The C's dry humor never ceases to amaze me! But on a more serious note:

Q: (Laura) And when it opens up what happens?

A: Change.

Q: (Laura) So, in other words, this cosmic event is the catalyst for the change in those human beings who are ready and prepared to experience it in a positive way...

That's going to be a huge challenge for even the most seasoned of people, IMHO because we care and to see those we love or even complete strangers in pain...

A: We covered that as well! People deteriorating!

I have to admit that when I first read that phrase I connected it with the more bazaar incidents that were happening around the globe, but now realize that's why so many of the older people are declining so rapidly from so many different things! Not mention the crazy weather and stuff.

What is amazing to me about what is going on here on the BBM nowadays is the "opening up" phenomenon. That is absolutely crazy! All the sink-holes, the volcanoes, the opening up of earthquake places, outgassing, just amazing things going on all over the planet and all people can talk about is war, war, war. Well, of course, we know why. As Clube pointed out, when people begin to get the idea that the PTB are NOT in control, that stuff is happening from the sky, from the cosmos, they begin to think that the Elite must be very, very bad to attract such negative attention from the gods. It has been common throughout history to kill the king and his pals whenever it was perceived that the gods were behaving unfavorably. Thus, all the really bizarre things going on to hide what is really happening.

And I guess that is why they are trying to wear us out with lawsuits, police investigations, FISC audits, and so forth. We aren't the only one talking about these things, but we do seem to be the only ones connecting the dots in a scientific way and that's a threat to them.

And as for the audit, even though I'm still new here I'm almost sure that all your hard work over the years of documenting everything as tedious as it was... will come in very handy, and you may even turn the tables on them and bury them in paperwork instead! :)

Thanks so much for the posts and well everything really.
