Foulain, France is fast becoming a focal point for world peace as the organizers of Lothlorien Peace Festival 9/21-24 www.lothlorienfestival.com... and the sponsors of the Know Thyself Initiative (KTI), with the many presenters at the festival unite in calling for a 3 Day Moratorium on All News September 22-24 to Stop the World for Global Meditation on Peace before comet Elenin’s alignment on the 26th. Encouragingly, many more of the world’s peacemakers, including the Council of World Elders and Tony Burroughs, are adding their names to the call because they see this as a unique opportunity to shift the mass consciousness from conflict and despair to cooperation and hope.

I am Caucasian, and as you, was forced into christian beliefs by my step-mother, which in turn, after memorizing large portions of the KJV, caused me to search for something better. I've studied every major world religion, and rejected them all. I began to believe in the religion that hadn't been invented yet, one which encompassed all the best qualities of each, while leaving out the inconsistencies. Realizing that was a futile attempt, I decided upon the oldest and simplest form of belief, being a heathen. A heathen (a pagan), by definition, is one who doesn't believe. Paganism has several different branches, amongst which are wiccans, satanists, druids, bards, ovates, and so on, but we are not bound but any strict dogma. We each follow our own path, choose to harm noone, and realize that our interactions with others may have a negative impact, so we tailor our lives accordingly. We tend to be more in tune with nature, our inner selves, and listen more than we speak. Our speech itself affects the reality around, and in doing so, carefully choose what we say.
Most of the time anyway, as that's just the basics. It's a fulfilling paradigm to experience.

You know....after watching the movie PI last night. (btw thank you for who ever posted it, really great movie). The ending has me thinking. He basicaly forgets what he knows and smiles at the end for not knowing.
The question is, is that the point? To conclude that we do not know nothing?
Another interesting Thing I will add. Few days ago I had a vision of angels falling, the sky was orange, as if it was on fire and I was one of those angels, least through my point of view I was conscious inside that body.
I found it interesting they mentioned Icarus in the movie, who was someone who didn't listen to advice and flew too high.
Just thought that was curious.edit on 14-9-2011 by RisenAngel77 because: (no reason given)

Happy to. Just remember please that just because you don't get a direct response to posts doesn't mean you are not being heard. I can promise that those of us who are this deep into the site read each and every post, and I know that a lot of times I don't have the time to reply or I am soaking in everything that I have seen.
As to your vision...
I'm not certain what to make of it exactly. How did it make you feel? Were you fearful to be falling from the heavens? Was it a pleasant experience? Did you have any thoughts at all while you saw this play out?
And looking back on it, do you feel it means anything in particular? That's the thing with dreams and visions... they are very personal. You can get help from others in deciphering what they could mean, but your mind is the only one who can truly make sense of it.

If a photon isn't observed, is it a wave or a particle?
What are they MADE of?edit on 14-9-2011 by 0pened because: (no reason given)
When it is not observed, it acts like wave. But when observed, it acts like a particle. And I don't think there is a clear answer on what a photon is made of. Energy? It has momentum because it has energy. It has no mass, so there can't be any matter? Electro-Magnetic waves?
So can all this be interpreted as that basically particles act as wave. They have a wave function which consists of all the possibility. But when observed, it collapses and there comes a single outcome. So, Universe has all the possibilities, but there can only be one outcome. So, by observing we turn the possibilities in a single event that is our reality. Like by observing photons which was originally acting as a wave, we turn it into acting like a particle. Am I on the right track?

People, I would like any insight on this thought.
I will tell you what I think Open is trying to tell us which is related. i think the point of Icarus is that he got burned by letting his ego get the best of him. He flew too high and got burned. While in reality the air is colder, I think if you look at it from a perspective, symbol wise. It means you already have all the knowledge you need inside you. Don't strive for more by looking outside. Because in the end you'll reach the edge and arrive at a dead end, and when you least expect it, you will end up inside a loop of repeating patterns. Hence Deja Vu. Point: In 3D we are limited in this world, BUT when we go inside ourselves we are not. This is why the movie PI is important. The Main character in the end sacrificed his knowledge and attained peace.

Interesting you point this out. Another poster before made the connection Pi=Moon (the feminine). Can you please elaborate on this subject. How is Pi to be viewed from the feminine perspective?

Do not be discouraged.
Many legitimate posts by myself have seemed to been completely ignored,
as if somehow it has already been decided upon who's ideas on the forum are worth checking into.
Quite sad..

Patefacio,
I can only speak for myself, and my impression is, that it is not so much the ideas, but the style of delivery.
One thing is to present an idea, elaborate on it (even just a little), explain the context and why it is relevant to the current quest (which is, to understand what Open has to say).
Another thing is to present yet more cryptic riddles.
If I see a post that says just '4th of July', and you don't explain why you are saying so, I am not wasting further time to figure out the riddle within the riddle.
You are [0pen], yet not (0pen)... leaving space for more mind games.
I do feel that you have valuable insights to contribute, and if you could elaborate on your ideas, like the other ones are doing, that would help a lot.
You have been complaining several pages ago that your name was being slandered, now that your posts are being overlooked... to me, it's a way of blaming external circumstances, without questioning why this is so, or taking responsibility for it.
I read each and every post of yours, but when it's a riddle and you are having fun impersonating Open, I don't have much to comment on, neither I will spend time googling or pondering. There is enough to work on, on the Oct28 site. If I can relate to your cryptic one liners, I will agree, star you, or eventually comment. If not I will read them, and take them for what they are.
As I said earlier in another post, I do enjoy your presence here, nonetheless.
