Baddogma's Other Meta Cafe- Polite Discussions About Scientific Mysticism and General Weirdness

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

Maybe true. But that's not what I meant. I was more thinking about the stored energy of the location, people for many generations going to one and the same place to feel evelation and relief, that leaves a mark on the fabric is my guess.
Like the Theresienwiese where the Oktoberfest takes place, that's very barren and uncomfortable 11 months of the year.
This park nearby with hills made from the rubble of the 2nd WW is a desert.
Rome is full of "demons", beautiful but a lot of tension and unfinished somehow.

That's what I think how "aliens" locate us, the whole Earth as a tiny dot in the realms of matter is a huge whirl in the consciousness fabric layer of the all.
Like what we learned from magic level 1, the intention the emotional energy you put in your ritual creates the feedback not what kind of candle or whatever you use.

Wasn't it Mother Theresa who said something like their suffering brings us closer to Jesus? And that might not be wrong but it's why we are where we are today.
At some point the negativity develops it's own mind.

I didn't even have my coffee and got my eyes not fully open, so sorry I can't express what I am trying to say.

Oh and I tried reddit, absolutely hate that place, but FreeBavaria write that down in case the lights go suddenly dark. Or Brezel @DizzyBrezzl on twitter, but it might take a while before I respond because ...well ...hate that place too.
I just occasionally read the trends and such almost never even log in, but I would be happy if you let me know you're still alive and rocking.
You know for after...



Oh and that^^^^ goes for all of you. TEOT, Reverbs, too not "just" but also Kilgore

I had a good cry, picked myself up - and so on and so forth. Now, I'm feeling that a change is timely. However that turns out. It'd be good to have a means of staying in touch though. Have somewhere where we can pass around ideas, thoughts and the like. This place, collectively and as individuals within it, has been my muse these decade-plus years. That relational dynamic has led me to accomplish feats of learning I never thought myself capable of, as well as helping me to find ways in which to release that creatively.

*shrugs*

I'm a bit like Nice Wolf with Kitten Heart, put me anywhere and I'll find a way to thrive and make the most of it however hostile the conditions. I never worry about surviving, just about what I might have to do to survive.



Take care.

You see, for me, it's the land itself. It was the place that was 'special', that's why they built there. Before the Romans built their temple I imagine there was a spring and a tree, perhaps a shrine, but mostly, as it is going back to the Sumerian model, it was the highest point over looking productive, fertile land and the source of that fertility, the river. As the city builds up, that vista, and it's significance, becomes lost. The tree is chopped down, the spring culveted...the Temple is built in an attempt to capture the deity and prevent it from wandering.

I need to think a little more about the rest. I kind of agree with you - but not directly. The alien is more within us from my perspective...funny...the monastery that my church once was, was founded by Alien Benedictines. They were called Aliens because they came from France.

And intentions are everything.

I have a Reddit account from since the Mother Horse Eyes fabulousness, but seldom log in. I don't mind it so much. Twitter, Facebook et al. I've tried, but... We have time, we'll sort something out.

a reply to: Peeple

I'm pretty sure I followed you on twitter.
not that Im a twitter person, but... That's not one of your rats?

If it did come to it, I'd be like
Whats Up Brez?!
How have you been?
Im still alive and rocking and #.
Just to let you know.

can you do that on twitter? lol
Rev3rbs @Rev3rbs1



or I did this aswell:



Can You Imagine the UFOs land 3 months after ATS closes? And Im talking to the peeps in the ufos..
cause @reverbslife. Of course on the ground they would be ULOs not UFOs, and they open the "door" and id be like YULO! and they look all weird at me, but just kidding "YOLO" and we all laugh, me the alien and them the aliens all aliens to each other relative.. and then they are like "how do we find Peeple and Kilgore?"

And Ill be like "Yes I know them!!"
but...
I dont know anymore..


So just in case Im Rev3rbs or Reverbs or I'm just reverberating through space and time.

a reply to: Reverbs

That site doesn't look half-bad...I've registered too. Same name. Just in case the aliens come looking for me...

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

I was almost caught between a truck and a rockwall. the truck edged closer and closer I was pinned and I thought my chest was about to collapse when the end of the truck passed me. and I was telling this to my girl housemate I had never talked to beforw about how my life keeps trying to kill me. and she was like not to be weird but I dont feel anything anymore, but then we were kind of bonding and in my head im like "why am I renting two places at once?

Then she went outside and pulled out a bike and another girl did aswell. damn i guess shes leaving. she starts the motorcycle and gets off. and gets on her motorcycle without saying a word I know what shes saying. So thats my bike for today.

and that was fun riding around.. crazy girls and motorcycles? Right?!

and then I woke up.
My first thought was about that other forum.
the frontpage has paranormal and ancient mystery news stuff.

today one of the articles is about new findings around stonehenge.

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

That's what they say about that obscure additional dimension, no? That it's within?

a reply to: Reverbs

Ha! Since 2014 for me: NOW I'm sure any second now we get hit hit by a global epiphany...now...aaaaaaaand now

a reply to: Peeple

Well we have our back up plan in place.
And now We're the weirdos invading from the other place.

a reply to: Reverbs

Praise the Lord!!$

And may the circle be unbroken!!

So AA says that monuments are built upon previous monuments.

What kind of spiritual Spirograph is Stonehenge??

ETA:

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

A labyrinth? With different stations for sacrifice and contemplation and only the one circle survived because the rest was made from bushes and willow trees?
But I've never been there so *shruggs

a reply to: Reverbs

My dreams have been getting kind of mundane - to the extent where I am having, did I dream that or did I actually do that? Like, clean the litter tray, empty the bin, put my keys in a particular place. If I'm doing anything at all interesting in my dreams I'm not remembering it BUT my waking memory is getting much better. After I was 'ill' it was terrible, I was beginning to think it would never be what it was, that I'd done permanent damage, but it's still all there and operational. I perhaps just had to find a new route or wait for the route to heal. It took a while though, what, five-six years? Lol, I can't remember.



You know, I was thinking, the other site, it's a bit like you know your classic model has it's quirks and faults but you've got to know them over the years, found a way to work around them and can't imagine why you'd want it any other way. Then you climb into the newer model, you take in the roomier interior and the ergonomic design of the dashboard and you start to wonder why you waited so long...

...I'm still a make-do-and-(try to-)mend girl at heart, but I feel much better knowing that there are pastures still waiting to be grazed upon. Thanks, you and Peeps, I feel like a little old lady that has been kindly helped across the road. You guys are the best!

a reply to: Peeple

I don't think I have heard it put like that before - obscure additional dimension - but I like it. I think the Imaginal works well, and similarly though. A reality, or dimension, that is more epistemological than ontological, and can be shared, or collectivized under certain conditions. Sort of.

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

At this point in a discussion I usually drift off and start rambling about how everything is alive and that the missing parts of the universe Dark matter and energy are not what we think they are but literally the gravity-shadows of the realm of consciousness formerly known as Sheol.

a reply to: Peeple

I can agree with the everything being alive thing. You said it yourself, so beautifully, a while back, about every cell having a ferrous centre that was once a sun. I paraphrase, you literally put it perfectly. But what if, these ancient and constantly transforming particles and element do gain a sense of awareness or consciousness in their journey through us, and other sensory based life on earth. Symbiosis at the atomic level?

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

Exactly what I'm thinking.
Oh thank you, you're the first to understand!

Have a lovely song

a reply to: TEOTWAWKIAIFF

It's been different things to differnet people at different time. I haven't had chance to read this new paper and the findings, but the earliest structure is the 'Wood Henge'. This they believe was a more enclosed circle, with strategic openings aligned to the Sun at solstices or to the Moon - I don't think we can be certain yet, I may be wrong. If it is like other wooden circle finds, it likely had an upturned tree buried at the centre. The megalithic builders belong to a culture believed to have originated in the eastern meditteranean. They came, as they came everywhere in Europe, for metal ores. The stones orginally set, not the main Henge itself, were in some way associated with ancestor worship, it's complicated, but the stones appeared to have represented the personage of esteem who had physically passed. Stone was considered immortal and therefore, by infusing or bonding it with the spirit of the dead person, that person retained a presence in the world. As I said, it is complicated, these people messed around with their dead a lot, decay and decomposition was something they clearly took a huge interest in and understanding of. I personally think that the dead or perhaps dying was laid out on a stone and then that stone 'absorbed' the dead's essense and was subsequently erected by the society of people they were important to. Something like that.

It's a metaphorical landscape, much like the Egyptian labyrinth video that Nice Wolf posted earlier. The Egyptians squared everything, but the basis of labyrinth is like that of the temple, a metaphorical journey through the cosmology of the people that built it and their approach to life and death. Sharing information to make the journey easier. As civilization progresses, it becomes more about trying to make sense of existence by ordering and cataloguing it.

a reply to: Peeple

Have I mentioned that I sometimes get 'scintillating scotoma' migraines. Haven't had one in a few years, touch wood, but when I 'discovered' Brownian Motion, I was like, that's the # it! It's my mad theory, that I mostly keep to myself. But what if, I caught one of those cosmic particles in the vitreous fluid of my eyes...Brownian Motion is what if...and then it finds it's way in...



And it was a lovely song, thank you.

a reply to: KilgoreTrout

My memory is coming back aswell.
And just a more organized use of my brain in general lol.
Felt kinda zombified for a while there.
