I don't know what to think. I live on the Pacific coast and I have had this creeping feeling that maybe we should be concerned for weeks now. But no one I know even mentions it. I think people's compasses are broken.
Actually I do know what to think. I think I'll sit here and get irradiated.edit on 24-5-2011 by Frater210 because: Epiphany
Its bad for business if everyone mass panics at the same time, those mind*uk*rs will let us all die slowly. We have no time left, either we act now, or never, we are running out of time, and still have all the time in the world! So, step right up, to the plate, the Universe is pitching a perfect game tonite, it always does. That does not mean one cannot try to hit it, this time!

...We have built in us, most of us, to try to understand the principles of cause and effect, Karma whatever you want to call it. Some don't and just let the road lead them wherever without actually putting their hands on the wheel. I like to drive.
I have always, since birth felt like I am trying to get back home. I am adopted and have abandonment issues, that could be it too, but I do not think so....
Looking up in to the stars has always seemed more along the lines. Just always felt that our molecular structured meat bags were made of star material. And out there somewhere is the real deal. Not A planet am I referring to either.

If we can the Love I know you are correct.
The discussion about canning the love is a few pages back and probably worthy of it's own thread as this is a very important concept too.
But if we aren't bags of mostly water there is more to fear! Mama moon might try to eat us up!
I perceive your soul, my soul, our souls. If what I perceive is not an illusion (Of which the moon is indeed the queen) than our fears our meaningless, about as meaningless as how scared one is when their video game avatar is about to get squashed.
So here is another question: If our fear has no meaning does it follow that it also has no purpose?
hmmmm....

To clarify: By synchronization, I don't mean agreement. I mean the same concept occurring independently to two or more people before even being discussed. Or strange symbolic congruences. Or even similar real-life events happening to two or more people.
Not that debate isn't fruitful, but I would say the concepts around which synchronysity seems to be sparking are indications of a greater absolute which may not require much intellectual mediation.
For instance: your concept of "bearing the load" of opposing currents. I did this painting years ago, when I would have deemed the vast majority of the concepts being discussed here bunkum and woo. It's called "The Human Lightning Rod", and it was a part of a series about members of a side-show in their off-hours.

But there it all is. As above, so below. The lightbulb in the boy's mouth.
Did this one a year ago as a wedding present. It's from a short story that I never actually ended up writing, and it's called "The 49th St. Station Oracle"

I would say, looking at it now, that I see a Wheel of Fortune.
Synchronisity.

Jinglelord: "Why would anyone want to look elsewhere? What a great question. Glad you asked.
There are many schools of thought on this but let me try to discuss within the same constructs we are trying to stick to within the group to understand that which is.
First off the Guardian, the personal Daemon, or whatever it is; is either an extension of you being a portion of your higher self to guide you, or it is some kind of appointed entity charged with feeding your goldfish while you're away.
Either way this entity may or may not be limitless in it's knowledge and ability. If it is without limits it is by extension God and is all that is so nothing you can work with is not it. Problem solved the whole question would then be meaningless."
Jinglelord: "If it has a limit in it's perception or ability why would you not want to experience other entities? Why would you limit your experiences? For safety? It isn't in my nature to sacrifice experience for safety. Always good to be cautious, perceptive, and intelligent, but to sacrifice an experience completely for safety is the epitome of fear and the OLD ways in my opinion.
Is pert of this about grabbing onto the old Hermetic and other beliefs and constructs or is it about taking those constructs and expanding and growing from them?
In my opinion if the old ways had the answer the would would have already changed. It is obvious to my mind they have lacked many important elements and were held back by their fears.
It is the job of the modern thinker, the Noonaut I would dare to say, to take the old knowings and grow them. To take what was and expand it into something new. If the goal here is to reclaim an old construct and not break down the barriers they instituted then we will die. More true than any prey running from a predator is the truth that that which does not grow will die.
This is why some us go elsewhere."

Just wanted to add an interesting and perhaps relevant note: My phone suddenly began to experience the symptoms of a catastrophic system destruction straight after I posted the following thread:
At the End of the Age - as we walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death...
I wasn't looking to promote the thread as it's quite a personal statement - an open letter to the PTB from yours truly.
Anyway - shortly after the thread went live, my phone dropped into permanent limbo (that 'busy' flash animation which normally comes on as the phone is powering down). None of the buttons work. Charging it doesn't work.
I could be forgiven for suspecting that this goldfish has had his phone remotely hacked and disabled.
Is there a precedent for such interfering actions in modern times? Would someone who is contributing to a thread in this manner perhaps be in line for such targeting?

... I believe there is some sort of precedence for technical equip[ment failing with certain subjects.
I think this is due 100% to some sort of energy your body or psychic self emits in times of a certain type of anger or intense thought.
On at least 4 different occasions I have had light bulbs burn out when getting into a really intense meditative vision journey, and once when doing a particularly intense ritual a light in the next room literally exploded (glass everywhere).
So yeah I think this is more than possible, but probably due more to you than anyone after you.

Why would anyone want to deal with them? Why would anyone want to deal with any inorganics?
Well, for power, for gaining the hypothetical edge in life and in death.
The people who developed the techniques were at first just curious, after centuries, or even thousands of years some delved deeper finding out in the process, that their existence was as inexplicable as ours, and that some types where here even before we walked the moonlit paths of planet earth....
We are aware, we know we know, and notice that we can feel, we are "magical" by nature, mysterious by design of the same Unknown, I cannot dare to judge its actions, of course they would appear "negative" when observed by human eyes, but there are other ways to perceive and interpret the inputs of CHAOS we seem to organize in our heads.
I mentioned earlier the "loosing the human form" while dealing with the Infinite, we as social creatures have learned and internalized a given set piece of "codes" that are now almost completely unrecognizable from "our basic primordial instincts" (anger, happiness, sorrow, joy,etc.)
Knowing and channeling our efforts can indeed help us to somehow "suppress our basic human limitations" and act as "pure beings of energy", armed with the knowledge that everything is after all an energetic manifestation of life, then human "moral set pieces" become inoperative, after all the same sunlight has shone upon massacres, orgies, beatifications, miracles and everything else imagined.
Now dont get me wrong I´m not condoning or praising it friend!
All I´m saying that the same "stuff" can take any shape, form, or alignment we desire, some"inorganics" are just conscious fields of energy, just like your "guardian angel", just like us!
Of course "out there" and "in here" the predator will chase the prey every time it gets an opportunity to get an "input" of energy, freebies are a delicacy, as there is no effort wasted, nor energy to increase ones power, one must always be prepared, and be capable of changing our fixations from prey to predators.
They do it, why shouldn't we?
After all we are as mysterious and share the same "operative sphere of influence" as they.
They overlap our world as we can overlap theirs, its a matter of willpower and personal strength, I will never under any circumstance ever wrestle a bear or a lion, on the other hand I will not hesitate to hunt deer, boars or snakes, as I have a slight chance of success, now, If I really wanted to hunt a lion, well, I would set a trap, by first studying and knowing every single aspect of my game and increasing my chances, always knowing that at any moment I could also be stalked and hunted, its all a game friend! with rules not set in stone, some winning conditions we can change if we will it!
Cheers!

Frater210: "If you are using this for an occult analogy then this is the kind of nonsense that I am hoping to spare people from. Does anyone really want to spend their time engaged in this kind of madness?
Knowledge of the Eighth Sphere and it's actions is equivalent to popping the hood on the engine and shining an 100,000 candle power lamp in to the compartment. Now that we can see the whole contraption the little guys on the hamster wheels are pretty easy to spot. No need to go about as though you are being stalked.
Thanks for the whetstone." [/quote]

Back in the New Age hay day in the early 90s, when a new age shop was opening on every street corner and everyone who was anyone knew a fat woman who wore all black and called herself a Wiccan who would read your fortune for a small fee, there was this prevailing thought that there is no such thing as evil. That all spirits were inherently unable to hurt or otherwise effect you and everything you ran into was a "Spirit Guide".
This sun shine and lolly pop garbage didn't fly with me. But the converse also doesn't fly. I can't see how we are all prisoners in meat sacks being harvested for our emotions. This to me seems like part of the swing. I have read a lot of the different junk to account for either side. I see where you get the idea, but why do you believe this?
What really clinches it for you?
I also don't care for the continual repetition that we are the top, we are the main show. Maybe I missed something. But I can't see where we are any more than part of the show and what puts over an intelligence that isn't corporeal in this reality. What is your main reason for thinking this?

Hey, everybody word for the day: Perspicacity.
This post really needed a good visual demonstration. I saw it in my head as soon as I read it and now the rest of you can share in what I saw:
(clip from Dr Strangelove)
This isn't new news, but it is good to remind ourselves.
The reason these hairless primates on a little blue planet off to the side of the galaxy aren't going anywhere anytime soon...
There are enough of us who are willing to do ANYTHING to see our goals met with a grin on our faces.
Anyone ever been on a really frightening roller coaster? I sometimes picture death being the end of the ride, those who went out in a grinning blaze are the ones charging back to the entrance yelling "Again! Again!"
Woo-woo (or just plain woo) refers to ideas considered irrational or based on extremely flimsy evidence or that appeal to mysterious occult forces or powers.
