...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…okay if we are starseeds…why?…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…at this moment in time we have 14 members to this pod…there might be 14 answers…or one…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

In either case…
These 14 people have gathered in ONE pod, feeling Basically the same things…

What does that tell you? ;-)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

It's a start!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Our's is not the place
for asking too many why-s
Observe & You'll Know

if we stare at a leaf
it needs remembering
that leaf is a fractal, nasc nature
when we zoom in, we See
a million-billion spinning atoms.
Why?
Why not?

Why is of the mind
tends to distract more than help
it has no ending

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

yeah, I'm trying to get away from analysis at the present…

I've noticed that when I try to experience things directly, a million words describing the experience pop into my head and get in the way of the experience….I'd like to find a way to release these words so that I can just experience pure feeling….

enjoyed the poem  :)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…picture us as a gem or crystal…each of us as a single fascet…the light shines out through us at 90 degrees…so the truth to one may *appear* different to another…but it's the same light…just a different view from one's position on the field…that said …I'll tell you how I see it…


…it's a big universe…we are experienceing a reality here…just pinch yourself if you think I'm wrong…most worlds develope along certain lines of spiritual evolution…the gods in this sector (small g)…decided to try an experiment and they were *allowed*…part of this local universe slipped into rebellion…to experience separation from Source…this is the origin of fear…fear is separation from Source…being separated these powers had to rely on themselves and develope along new lines…createing artificially…from *above* this it was always known that the lesson would come to a completion and all parts would be brought back home so to speak…

…Earth exists physically on one of the arms of the Milky Way towards the outside…it was originally meant to be a *Living Library* and is very precious…it's developement has been watch for quite some time…something happened in 1945 that sent shock waves through this local universe…mankind told the universe that it was coming of age…a call went out for volunteers to come and help with the birth …many many volunteered and came forward…the conditions were that the volunteers would have to come in through a barrier that had been put up to quarrentine the rebellion…they would have to dive down through a veil of forgetfullness… they would have all the support they needed and would have help wakeing up when the time was right…each came in with different wake up programing…some would wake up first and help the later arrivals…and there would plenty of support from above with some team members remaining out of body off-planet ,and help from the Angelic troops…
…some of the ones that are playing the parts of rebellion are clinging to the ideas that were put into motion a long time ago…but those that are seeded from the stars would be sent to turn the tide…it's all about frequency and vibration…the Earth is ready to raise up in frequency…  mankind is ready to graduate *3rd grade*…and we are the tutors…all this is complicated by this being a Free-Will  world (not all worlds are)…for those that are not chooseing to graduate it's ok…Source has all the *time*…
   …this is enough for now…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

If we are the tutor's then eventually we will have to show ourselves. Maybe slowly… maybe quickly and suddenly… maybe quietly… maybe loudly… there are also questions we must consider… we may have to figure this out for our selves… or we'll just know when we are needed and how we are needed. Each group has a different time and way of showing themselves… obviously we need to find out when and how we are to show ourselves and possibly what we are to do when we do.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I've been asking myself that question since I first had the audacity to think I was not of this world..at least not all of me. I definitely feel my human grit as well. It took me a long time before I wouldn't immediately bury the thought as soon as it presented itself. I know I've had a meaningful influence on many people's lives through the light and love expressed through my being….but maybe that was the human me all along. Still, it feels different. It's kind of like we're fairy dust sprinkled around the world to show people a different way to shine….and then there's all those dreams about the spaceships arriving…..

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…if you are familiar with Remote Viewing…they have protocols…that is ways of doing the program…one protocol is to position a team member outside a target building to give the Viewer something to aim for…
…this is a way of looking at our *job*…we are the Boots on the ground…the ones that drew the short (or long) straw…our Being here is the job…we are a target to channel Light…it amplifies as we learn to use intent…as we more fully awaken…we are like Lightening rods… accupuncture needles for the Earth…
   …the more you awaken…as you re-member more…as you step into your mastery …you make yourself more useful to Spirit…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

One's mastery could be their talents… my talent is photography… I take pictures of things many do not look closely at… when I show people my pictures they are so surprised at what the little things look like closeup. Through my talent I can open the eyes of many to see what they are missing.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

that definitely resonates. We're simple vibrating at a certain frequency to be the lightening rod. I've always felt it very important to keep my frequency at a specific high level….and I do everything I can though as you all know, getting upset, angry, depressed lowers the frequency and we have to climb back all over again. But I guess there are different frequencies for different planets….being?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Mike,
I want to comment on what you said about taking pictures of things close up and showing people what they're missing… for years I had been taking pictures of nature around me. I knew how to frame a picture nicely and what to focus on in the picture. When I took the picture, I could not see the beauty in what I was capturing myself, through MY eyes, it was only when I saw the picture on the computer screen, or printed out, that I saw the beauty I had captured. I always wondered why I couldn't see the beauty like that in real life. The shadows I captured, the reflections, the details, the beauty- I was always very surprised at what I captured. It wasn't until recently that I've begun to see life, in person that way. I don't need my camera anymore to see it. I can use my own eyes. I can see the details in everything. The world is so beautiful to me again. It used to be to me when I was a kid, but as time went on, that sort of faded away. It's all coming back again. I've finally cleared my mind (I know it was my mind that was clouding my vision). I love it! I feel as if I've solved a puzzle. Thank you everyone for sharing. I love this pod. I feel very much at home. :)

Peace,
Shell

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Mike and Shell,

Yes! We SEE more don't we? We also see the interconnectedness of everything. LOL, I have similar experience…and for instance, I would be invited to go on vacation with people…Why? Because they know that I truly enjoy the experience…I can show them How. I become one with Nature…I can point out things that they weren't aware of, and they enjoy that.

Perhaps that's one of the main things we're here for…to do just that…show people what this world is really about…point out all the wondrous beauty, you know?

I'm also familiar with what you said Mike…that you didn't really know what beauty you were creating by taking those photos. LOL, I realized that, when looking at my MySpace page, that although I just “threw” some photos together, I'm awed by the story it tells. I didn't even see that it is all cohesive and one photo leads into another. It's amazing, lol. The same with my previous slideshow here…just threw photos together…but people were commenting on the great story it told. Hahaha, I wasn't even aware of “the story”…I just put up photos I love! =)

Sigh…so happy to be here with you all…I feel so at home ;-)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I guess this is about as good a place as any to jump into the conversation.  First - thanks to Glynnda for starting this group, and then to Will for the “heads-up” he gave me on it.

I'm not about to try to cram what I do know (and suspect I know, moreso) into one post - I'll let that evolve over time.  But in answer to the question posed, I pretty much have a good idea of my “mission” here.  For me, the work has been ongoing for the past almost 27 years, and I am very aware that the training started as a child.  There is quite a bit to fill in those time-frames.

I have been very reluctant to share with anyone, for most of my life, the things that have happened to me that have convinced me, at least, that I didn't originate on this planet.  At this time, I am still somewhat reluctant to give out much in detail, as in the past when I've done so, the outcome has not been good.  So I will have to be fairly convinced of feeling “safe” here before I say much more than I have here in this pod, ooops, I mean “group”.  (much prefer the “pod” idea over “group”).

I find it interesting, that just as I was about to leave Gaia for an extended period of time, that all of a sudden two “groups” were created in the space of a few days, to which I joined - this being one of them.  So, obviously (to me at least) there is something that I still have to do here.  I know that my channeling is part of it - my ability to be quite out-spoken (which gets me in all kinds of trouble most of the time) is also part of it - and I tend to be a “take charge” person, which occasionally also ruffles feathers.  But that's why I'm here (on planet Earth), and probably why I'm here (on Gaia) as well.

Namaste!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I've been afraid to expose myself as well. It was bad enought that I thought I was crazy. I certainly didn't want anyone else to. That's why I created this space. This Sanctuary for us to be able to say what we feel with others who support us. maybe if we're able to “get it all out” we can see more clearly where the road goes. Of course, I am a rational being as well and that part of me says there must be another reason for my experiences and for this universal mind of ours. Still, I feel strongly its time to step out of the shadows and see where it leads.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

p.s. Sorry- in response to the original question, I believe we are starseeds to change the world. I actually believe everyone who is “conscious” is a starseed and has that calling to change the world. In presence, we can perform miracles. I feel that to be so true. I have already experienced it. We need to keep telling ourselves/reminding ourselves to stay present- to be here now.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Greetings to All in the One Love We Are,

There are other rooms in this Gaia Community space where I feel safe to share who I am, but this might be the most precisely targeted. Thanks for telling me about this place, Will.

When I first joined the site, I joined the Galatic Federation pod, but it became dormant even before that. But Glynnda you might PM each of those few folks with an invite to here. My connection is molasses tonight or I would make that a link, but you can find them in Group Search or there is a link way down in my Profile.

I have known about my Starseed role on this planet since the mid-80's, and it seems that my current focus is on being a guide, support, facilitator, clarifier, welcomer, for others. If you read the Church brochure and sample Sunday Service bulletin from my church, you will know that Starseeds are our focus, our “peeps.”

My Nickname, 1Vector3, is a starseed term. In one model of The Way It Is, there are three general categories of spirits operating in this Universe. The following description is not precise. Vector One creates physical matter. Vector Two creates Sentient Life. Vector Three tinkers around with those. Most of us here would, in this scheme, be Vector 3 folks. I am 1 of Vector 3.


I will post more when the connection isn't agonizingly slow. But I must respond to those in the other long thread who are talking about seeing our path or mission only one step ahead. Alan and I have been talking about this via PM quite a bit.  There appear to be SEVERAL good reasons why we don't have the whole Big Picture with respect to what we will be called to do, when, and where, but you can rest assured you will be well able to do it, and it will most likely also be quite joyful for you.

And yes, this is the end of our isolation, we are forming our teams, finding “our people.” We will be working together from now on, and that is a challenge we shall have to get through, our habits and fears from the days of the Lone Wolf.

I see this rediscovery of our teams and groups happening all over the world, on a large and small scale. It is a glorious pattern.


I guess I shall add one more thought: Starseeds, or shall we just be explicit and say ET's, are only one KIND of vibration-uplifting Beings incarnate in human form en masse at this time. Most of the crystal children are from the angelic realm, as are many of the indigos. They do NOT resonate to the idea or term of Starseed. Lots of elemental-kingdom souls are here too (think:

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thanks for joinig. uhhhm what's a PM. I'd love to contact the others and invite them but am still figuring my way through this site. thanks!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hi Glynnda, Replies to Post are not always visible except in Newest First or Recent Posts views, so please let me know you got this Reply to Post.

PM is Personal Message, meaning email within the site. I assume you know that as Cultivator/Moderator you can email a message to all of your own Friends list inviting them to the pod. Also anyone you trust enough to make them a Moderator can also do the same for THEIR Friends list on the site. (I won't give you the hint that Moderator power can be bestowed for a limited time by mutual agreement for a delimited purpose, no no……. :) )

This is the only opportunity for mass mailing available on the site, and it can be used ONLY ONCE per Moderator (incl. you) so you gotta make your pitch good. No mass followups from you are available.

Hope this helps. One of my personal missions within the Community is to help people find their way around and learn how to do stuff here, so I am glad you asked.

Blessings,

OM Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thank you!. Yes I received your post. I'm still stumbling around the site, trying to figure out how to navigate it. My brain does not function within these confines very well but I'm learning to adjust. And yes, I don't always see posts as they seem to pop up like mushrooms and not necessarily in order. I figure I'll just let this pod move along at its own pace and become what it's meant to be. I like that there are no expectations or judgements. It think it allows a great energy flow. I appreciate your insights. I'm not even sure what it means to be a moderator. I'm just interested in everyone being able to express themselves, feel safe, and enjoy the experience. We'll see!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I wanted to respond to Gemstar and 1Vector3…

You both nailed where I am coming from…Gemstar, you wrote about not sharing publically because the outcome has never been good (paraphrasing, but hopefully, you get what I mean). That has been my experience as well and makes me very shy on forums or anywhere else for that matter.

1Vector3, when you wrote:  And yes, this is the end of our isolation, we are forming our teams, finding “our people.” We will be working together from now on, and that is a challenge we shall have to get through, our habits and fears from the days of the Lone Wolf.

I experience this on a daily basis of knowing that my isolation and reclusive lifestyle is about to end and it is a bit disconcerting.

A chain of events occurred in my life in the early 80's that altered my self-perception and “reality” as I knew it forever…since then I have been unraveling the ball of yarn and what I discovered has been amazing…

For me it was not bells and lights, but rather a very arduous dark night of the soul…I am so grateful to my star family for assisting me in ways that I was not even aware during this incarnation.

Ok, I am starting to ramble…thanks all of you for sharing your perceptions.

Will, I really like your analogy of light reflecting and our perception of what we see depends on where we are standing…

Starseed

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Wow, hit the wrong button:

think: fairies, elves, etc. It's these ones who are most drawn to Harry Potter-type magic, sorcery stuff, I believe. The Harry Potter books are a huge uplifting force in the world, triggering lots of awakenings, and moving a lot of folks in vibration-increasing directions. IMHO.

In other words, I do not believe most of us are just ordinary humans making spiritual progress, which was the self-characterization of some in the other long thread here, or at least a question as to that being the case. No, I think we are here from ELSEWHERE to be leaders, wayshowers, and actual builders of new and better ways of living, in every arena of life. We will design and implement the new education, the new economics, the new parenting, the new businesses, etc. etc. New systems, new paradigms.

I believe most of the folks on this site are not ordinary human beings, but are from all the different realms of creation I have mentioned. This is one of the larger Gathering-places. But some are more conscious than others of who they are  and what their purpose is. It goes FAR beyond improving the world wrt poverty, starvation, global warming, peace, etc. These are particulars of a very definite General Big Picture. Part of our contribution is to be aware of the Big Picture, and comfort and inspire folks with it, when they need that.

We all have our gifts from our kind of Being and our individual selves. The Kosmic Essence readings I do in my ministry are among the most profound ways of helping people understand what their gift is, the gift of their very Essence, underlying all the activities and skills. I would be delighted to assist anyone who wants such self-knowledge.nIt greatly fosters self-acceptance and empowerment. These are partly intutive readings and partly based on info from the person.

It was mentioned about abilities we feel are natural, and we're puzzled why we can't do them at present. One of mine is levitated dancing; I absolutely know I will be teaching it in the future!

Can't shut me up, apparently. One more thing brought up in this pod so far that I wanted to comment on: HOME.  Such profoundly beautiful thoughts on the subject have been shared, and I resonate with all of them. And I would like to add the other dimension: “ET phone Home.” Need I say more? Anyone else moved to tears by those three words?

Well, more later. I think a great addition to this pod would be a Resources thread. Like the Book ET 101, which is in the zBooks database. In that Resources thread I would also post links to other discussions here on the site which I believe would be enlightening and helpful. And others could contribute Resources they are aware of. Whaddya think?

Oh, yeah, it was mentioned on the other thread how people respond to us. I could tell you stories. Maybe I will. Suffice to say for now that while I do not get the really dramatic kinds of effects and acknowlegements others mentioned, which I glory in hearing, most people who walk toward me and past me give me this knowing, sweet, smile of familiarity and happiness. So heart-warming!!!!!

Thanks, Glynnda, and I embrace all members here, as sisters and brothers in the Grand Project.

Blessings, Rev. O.M. Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

even though I'm a Starseed I love the elementals and have a powerful connection to faeries. My personal totem is a dragonfly and I've had many mystical experiences with them….

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

If there’s divine will, it seems to me the role of a ‘starseed’ (it’s a good word, but it’s only a word– by themselves, crippled things: a meaning behind letters exists, however, which we unlock) is to unlock it for themselves–

find where divine will and free will meet– and to me, free will IS the ego.

I hope that’s not cryptic. One of the things I’m exploring now in this free will/divine will paradigm is how to use my freedom to make more sense to people.

...hundredth monkey...

…some of you already know of this but I will explain it for those that have never heard the term…

   …in the years after WW2 a group of social scientists were studying animal behavior on an island off the coast of Japan…their work was studing monkeys…part of their routine was to feed them by throwing food to them from a bridge…it was noticed that a few of them would wash the sand from the food in the stream…one by one the behavior was learned by the members of the monkey tribe…until the hundredth monkey learned to was it's food…at that point the behavior spread INSTANTLY across the whole island !…not only at the island but to nearby islands that had absolutely no contact !…the researchers realised that this phenominon was much more important than what they were studying…as a result of work that was inspired by this strides have been made in understanding the Collective Consciousness…how we are all connected …
  …this has led people to understand why similar inventions are simultaneously developed continents apart…such as the airplane and the telephone…we are *reaching *into the layer of thoughts that surround this planet…it has been given the name Noosphere (pronounced no-os -fere)…this also has led to understanding of Critical Mass…where a seed group (I like that phrase) can tip the awareness of a larger group…

  …we are that group !…we were sent here to ensure that this upward spiraling vibration continues to move to the higher frequencies…


    …zoom out to the larger picture…

  …in the book of Revelations John says ,” I saw a new heaven and a new Earth”…
…what could that mean?…anyone can tell you that things are very messed up here on Earth and we are ready for something new…but new Heaven?…
     …here's the clincher…

    …Earth Is the hundredth monkey !…
…Earth is the factor that is going to tip the balance and shift this whole sector of this local universe !…and there are Many eyes on what is happening !…

…this is the culmination of a looong lesson…and has drawn the interest of many…that could roughly be divided into 3 groups…
     1…those that can be classified as Allies of humanity…and are assiting in the ascension of this world…some hold an interest because their worlds will be free to move up in frequency when this happens…
     2…those that are clinging to the power structure that they have developed…described as … the Elite…or Dark aliance…or Illuminati…ect…uncluding off-plant support …
    3…those that are watching out of curiosity…what is happening on this world is unprecidented…has not happened before where a whole world has ascended as a complete group…and to be frank…this IS the best show going on right now  for many light years distance…

   …if you could veiw the Solar System with 5th D or higher eyes…it looks like a huge parking lot !…and Many of these are Our brothers and sisters that have waited patiently for Us to wake up and get working !…

Re: ...hundredth monkey...

Oh yeah! Bring it on.

Re: ...hundredth monkey...

Yessssss! Now you're talking my language!
Ahhh…collective consciousness…the Beloved and much watched Planet Earth…planetary ascension…critical mass….and my all-time favorite activity of Quantum Leaping =)

Here's a phrase I find deeeeep resonance with (thanks Stephen King!)…
“The World Has Moved On”
and oh yes, I've experienced many, many shifts already in my lifetime where the only words I could describe it with was just that phrase.

I soooo love the progression of this seedpod!

Re: ...hundredth monkey...

yes…we are so ready…I read this quite a while ago. thank you so much for bringing it back…it's all about frequency and vibration and where we resonate as beings…I love being in this pod because I'm reminded of home but I have to keep bringing myself back to earth because this is who I am now…..

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Wow Will, that's great about the monkeys. I kind of feel that way too.

“ET Phone Home”, I so relate to that as well. What a great place to be. You know, when I joined this website recently I totally pictured this exact experience in my mind, sharing ideas in a thread just like this, with like-minded souls. Thank you so much for this connection!

Before I found Zaadz/Gaia, I had been thinking a lot of how I can help to change the world, how everyone can, just by being kind and loving, through random acts of kindness, through listening, through a smile, through time, through being. Well, I was thinking A LOT about changing the world. Then, on my drive into work, on XM radio, Oprah and Friends, they had a guest on the Dr. Robin show, and she was talking about that exactly, and then I came across Zaadz, through some quotes I had been looking up for Eckhart Tolle, and all of a sudden on the main page it said “Let's Change the World”. I was sold. Then I heard songs about Changing the World, etc., etc. Stuff happens like that often to me. I think about something, and then I find a book about it, or hear a song, or hear someone talk about it, or there's a whole show about it… I love it when stuff like this happens. We are powerful creators of our existence.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Aha! That’s awesome Will, both the monkey story and your larger point. and I love the energy here!

But I think I like to deephasize the roles of “alien visitors.” these bodies, they’re all the same. so are these egos, basically, anything they can do, we can do just as good. the question is: which one of us gets to be the 100th monkey?? Remember: doing the behavior is what did it, that hundreth monkey was surely watching the others do it before, why didn’t it happen when he saw the 99th wash food?

You know what? I think the answer is all of us…. We need a cheer or something : P

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Was it doing the behaviour or was it having an IDEA?

You know where ideas spring from…cosmic collective consciousness ;-)
One “gets it” and it ripples. We are very much like lightning rods
(or I suppose, these days…wireless towers like for cellphones)

I'm doing a StarSeed dance for everyone in the meantime…and we'll think about a cheer, LOL =)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…so, I had a very wild experience in August of '05.  I was “immersed” in the (N)nonphysical World without any anticipation that it was going to happen, hadn't even imagined it, until I was too busy.  Anyway, after a few weeks or a month or so, I was supposed to walk up and down this street for three days, I lasted about 8 hours, the street was about 0.3 miles long for three days.  I was experiencing things beyond my imagination.  I'd sit down and take rests now and than.  

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…your friend and friends are safe here…as are you…I'm sure that many of the rest of us have experienced many strange things…if not on this plane …then along the long path of our experiences…it's a big universe…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I think it might help if you let “him” spend more time taking care of himself. In my experience, my “friends” don't neccessarily look out for my material and human needs. They don't understand the realities of being here. It's not that they and you don't care..its just they don't understand having to live and be and survive. And the energies really screw with our heads. Make us question our sanity and probably even make some of us crazy. You don't want that. So maybe I little downtime would help. Balance is really important to our mental and physical health. The physical body has its limitations. And of course, he's safe here…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I need to know whether this was a dream (it seems not) and, if it was not, the circumstances of its happening. Or have I missed something?
:-)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

My Internet  onnection is almost infinitely slow still today, so i shall respond briefly.

Alan the way you phrased the free will/divine will idea, Thurs 4:29 AM (as displayed to me) post, triggered me into the clearest-yet way of saying what I believe, so permit me here:

Because there is ultimately, when viewed from the largest perspective, only One Being, there can be only One will, which we can call divine will. However, we in our human experience have experiences that FEEL like free choice, unconstrained. What does that mean?

You siad  somehting about Divine Will and Free Will MEETING, and I say that they cannot MEET or even BECOME aligned, because they are not different in the first place.

So now I can say that I believe free will is simply the human experience of and perspective on Will which is under the veils of forgetfulness about what that Will is from the Larger perspective. Free will and divine will are not different at all, but they are different viewpoints on the same phenomenon. Two angles. The human experience we interpret as Free Will is like looking at something and not seeing it clearly for what it truly is.

One implication is that the EXPERIENCE of free will is a deliberate choice by Divine Will to pretend it is separate, for whatever wisdom can be gained by this little charade.  So, from my perspective, nothing that free will wills, is distinct or separate or outside of or in any way NOT, what Divine Will wills.

So, what changes for us when Divine Will wills for the charade to end in us, is not that we “lose” our free will.  we still have the experience of making choices, unconstrained, but these FEEL more integrated with the rest of the Infinite Being, the rest of the world , all other individuated portions of the One Consciousness/Beingness. We call it Being in The flow. It is a very very different subjective inner experience of willing, but it is not different excpet in our perspective, our experience.

OK, nuff said for now. Hope that resonates for some. Fixing typos takes many seconds, so forgive.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Wow… so much to read… I really should try to make more time to log on.

BreadCrumbs or the *BreadCrumbs Effect*… one thing leading to another and so on… a trail left by higher beings for us to follow them and understand more and more about what we are to do.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Anyone here NOT comfortable with this?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Tell you the truth, I’m uncomfortable with all of it but I feel like “truth” is coming through and I don’t want my fear to stop the energy. It’s important to have a strong sense of self through all this and to not let anyone else take you any further than you are comfortable with. None of us really knows…actually, at least I don’ know, what our experiences are all about but at least we’re letting them flow when we usually check our communications with people . I’m really fascinated by the potential for discovery here. Even if someone goes further down the rabbit hole than I understand or an comfortable with, I hope everyone can release what they have been holding him for so many years. I respect others journey. Thanks to you all.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

“What are we doing here? ”

Here == This forum?  I believe we are looking for encouragement and guidance and exciting dialogue.

Here == Earth? We're humans. This is where we belong. All this talk about “starseeds” doesnt help, unless it helps keep you motivated and on the WARRIORS PATH.

I believe we should be using this time to devise a simple plan any of us can execute in order to encourage closer knit neighborhoods. We need to know our neighbors if we are going to survive, and especially if we want our voices to be heard!

I'm not the best at “wrangling the troops” but I am tired of dialogue and I want action. Its time to devise a plan. The hardest part of this, to me, is figuring out how to include the “townies” and the “new comers” without making people feel like they have to CHANGE their lifestyle. if thats not their cup of tea.

We gotta decrease the hate. We have to face the facts: we still live in a segregated world and there are large groups of people who would NEVER find their way onto this forum to voice their opinion.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Most of the planet is not ready for any of this talk….or the open thinking that goes with it. And I don't expect in my lifetime to suddenly have everyone waking up and deciding to work together. The conscious and thoughtful people of the world have always been in the minority. I expect its supposed to be that way. We are here to learn. Not live in the garden of eden. Most lives are not all that great. It's hard to feel love when you're struggling or suffering. I'm hopeful that new communities will start croping up that will be the models for future generations. And I certainly hope to be part of it. But most folks will ramble through life best they can, learning best they can and waiting for something external to change them. That's why its important that we spend most of our time being that change. The more people who just sit in that sacred space themselves, the less we will have to try and change the world. It will change naturally.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Honorable ressurrected 1:

Is it the idea or action that makes the collective consciousness sing? hmm, I’d wondered the same myself. my answer is basically that any idea that’s not counteracted by another idea becomes action, through the law of attraction, if one needs to look at it that way. and so the line’s a lot less blurry, but it seemed the researchers drew a correlation between the monkeys washing and the behavior spreading. but on the other hand, they couldn’t measure when the monkies had the idea, could they?

Still… if the one hundred monkeys watched the first monkey, wouldn’t they have all had the idea then?

In conclusion, I dunno! It’s beginnig to feel like a ‘which came first, the chicken or the egg’ question, and as I said to someone nice recently, perhaps the only intellegent answer to that question is: “the universe.”

honorable 1vector3:

Yep! You’re sooooooo right! bows and stuff

Honorable Michele:

I’m pretty comfortable at the moment, so I’m not sure what “this” is. but I’m curious! Is something happening that’s making for potential discomfort? ‘cause maybe we should work on that, eh?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…Alan…
            …I believe michelle was uncomfortable about the previous post by Being Person…
he was talking about what sounds to me like a *walk-in* experience…I am comfortable with that…it sounds like Being Person might need some community support and understanding…
I feel that the next few years will see a restructureing of what is considered normal…Love and Understanding are going to be what gets the bulk of humanity through this…We are the cutting edge…a general raiseing of the comfort level is going to take work…much Love to all of us…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Awesome Alan,

Could it be that only the 100th monkey ACTED on the idea? Much like how we all have the same idea but only one person takes it and Acts on it and makes a million bucks? ;-)

There will always be 99 monkeys watching the 100th and probably think him a fool…or not.
Sometimes those 99 are so set in their ways that the new “mutation” or “knowledge” or “improvement” or “evolution” must begin with the next generation.

Hmm…sounds familiar on another arena? LOL ;-)

As far as the old, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg”…I say…they both ARE. They both Exist and who really cares which came first? =)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Does sound famlliar. : )

I love the first monkey being a female monkey. now I see how it goes down in this metaphor: beautiful isis monkey goes down to the sea, washes her friut or whatever. other monkeys see, and see how much sense she makes, so they go down too. some 100th monkey sees what’s going on and thinks: “my god, ALL us monkeys should live like this– not because I say so, but because that monkey number 1, she’s so fully plugged up!” so he goes and washes his fruit… all the sudden BOOM, critical mass. : )

and everyone acts like the 100th monkey should get all the credit. balls! it was all her, monkey number 1! Everything after that is just numbers.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

ROTFLMAO!
I like it, I like it!!!!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Wow, I'm up to speed now, except this site seems slow, but that's not too surprising. At the least, the typing is faster than it was.

I have heard two things about the hundredth monkey story. One is that it took awhile for the first monkey to wash the food, and that first one was a young female. (Cheering section UP.) The other is that the whole story is an urban legend and never happened!!!

Regardless, the notion of critical mass is valid, and so is the notion of morphogenetic fields of influence, so it doesn't matter whether the literal story is true or not IMHO.

The entities that BeingPerson describes and that typed to us, are not –from what i believe–behaving or speaking like, or seeming to have the knowledge of, very-much-higher-dimensional Beings, higher than the astral plane anyway. Not all “walk-in” experiences are of a high level of benefit to the embodiment. This is simply my impression, and is coming from a desire of welcoming and of support for the highest good of ALL concerned/involved. Only BeingPerson can say whether life feels uplifted, expanded, enhanced, or whether the feeling is of being manipulated for some small-scale reasons. I just offer options to be considered, and none of us others have enough information to make any conclusions or judgments.

Way further up the thread, Mike talked a bit about what each of us might be doing, and when and where and how we will know what to do. My take on that is that Divine Timing is extremely operative, more so than often, if such a thing is possible, because the COORDINATION involved is on a phenomenal scale; I think Will might have alluded to this. So my belief is that we will find ourselves called to action at the right time in the right place in the right way, and what talents we are evoked to express might or might not be ones we even were aware of having!!!!!!!! And in fact, I think many of our talents will be called into action, many of them. So the thing is to be reasonably happy until we are called up, and get as ready as possible with a strong and healthy body and mind. and as expanded and open as we can allow our consciousness to be!!!

While I do agree that our nonphysical Friends don't REALLY “get” all that is involved in the details of living on this plane (they never have to wash dishes, blech!) I have NOT experienced that they screw with my mind or make me crazy. I have always been treated with the utmost respect and HUMOR, and they have been responsive to my requests for temporarily less intensity, or a break from the energy transmutation. The only time I might accuse them of screwing with my mind is when I “forget” something my Ego says is important, and Divine timing says is NOT important to do or attend to. I have blanked out on or gotten “confused” about some pretty obvious or significant stuff.

Sorry to blather on. I hope everyone feels comfortable in continuing to share. How else can we be of help, support, and encouragement to one another if we don't share freely?

If I came on too strong, or stepped beyond a limit, I would appreciate some feedback on that.

Blessings,
Rev. O.M. Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

i appreciate your insights. I don't believe our “friends” screw with our heads to make us crazy but sometimes I feel a bit crazy for having these thoughts and conversations. I'm actually most comfortale when I'm in their energy, but it's hard for me to live in the world the way I need to when I'm in that space. And I think it's probably healthy to keep questioning my sanity a bit…afterall, I'm talking about cosmic beings! Sometimes I laugh at myself….

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hey, it's real, what I'm going through.  If you consider the Christian phrase; on Earth as it is in Heaven.  We can be proactive that way!  We can do that.  We just have to tell people and well, God the Father of Heaven and Earth is someone who understands.  And Allah and Gautama Buddha.  They do the choosings for me when push comes to shove.  It's a matter of my consciousness being resolved.  It's like my mind is a resonistic weight in my body in consideration of the beings I embody. Minimum of 4, and me, at a time, to make sure everything is copisthic.  I figured it was the best way to go.  It's like I'm fairly popular because the “Solar System” works through me.  I was visited by some being from Uranus who had been Physical Beings on Mars, not too long ago.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Having been the recipient of people thinking I’m batshit nutty on more occasions than really I would have liked, I decided on this matter, even though honorable person’s messages were a bit… tangled, to reserve judgement until I saw clear ideology pointing to a capacity to self-harm or harm others. I saw none-such, and Interestingly, until his last message, I was finding it a bit hard to get a clear read on him– almost like the wierd feel of it was, in a sense, ‘covering his tracks,’ or obscuring his truths. for example, I know bipolar people who are quite spiritual, and are no longer really bipolar. I know that’s just a term used for a manefestation of imbalance, the same as any medical term… clear up the imbalance, the term is meaningless, but to scare away poeple who could be scared by you, leaving only people who couldn’t. so, part of me wonders about the strange emphasis of bipolarity in his message. If its the dark speaking through him, I’m quite sure they would try to convince us to listen and not tell us things we might judge. and yet, he focused on that.

To me, we’re looking at someone intentionally hiding their true identity– and this reading was furthered by his reaction to 1vector3’s brave, noble, kind analysis, in which she tried to help a stranger, knowing he or she may not appreciate help. Well, that kind of thing, if she was right, should have caused fury in being person, and yet it did not. It sparked SLIGHTLY clearer understanding and poetry.

all this depends on my growing feeling I can tell the difference between ideas the believer believes and ideas they don’t though. Sometimes I just think to myself: “lie, lie, lie…” and it always surprises me and I never judge or act out on it, it’s just a thing that happens, and I didn’t get any of that here from anyone’s messages… and even stronger than the “lie” signal is the “danger” signal! As In: “unbalanced person unbalanced person unbalanced person…” and that one’s as strong as the signal a spider gets, when a leaf lands on it’s web. That signal in my brain, when it comes, I get flown into motion. I react vicerally, and that I am completely at ease now does say something to me… and perhaps only to me. I think this one’s ok, instinctively, but does speak kinda funny.

so my question is, what’s the deal with head-games? : D

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I think at times, all of us..I know myself at least, waft in and out of the dark…it is the journey of the Lightworker to know both light and dark…and others could point to me at that moment of darkness and have that moment define me. But I am the culimination of many moments and as my journey unfolds, i do my best to project high frequency of love into every encounter. It doesn't always work but through that prism every statement has value and even the darkness is a loving teaching message.

I am full of questions at this point in my life and what I am receiving from this pod is everyone's particular experience and energies and life vibration…some resonate with me, others don't, some vibrational thoughts I love and others I question. But all have value or we would not be here. As the unverise makes no judgements between light and dark, I will do my best to keep focused on the information and frequency and see what it offers me over time as it integrates into my being. As Alan said, it's all about balance and sometime we need to have a longer view to get that balance.

I feel everyone in here…with are fears and hopes and experiences and joys and egos and light. We are no different than others except that we are awake and tapped into things that generallly are just read about in books. I don't know anything. This place is my school and you are my teachers. Thank you.

Namaste,

Glynnda

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…thank All of you for just being…my heart opens to all here…
 …thank you Being Person (BP for short) for being open and giving…
 …thank you OM and Gemstar for the wisdom that you both bring…
 …thank you Alan for your openness…
 …thank you everyone…(Imight get finger cramps if I name each of you but each are felt in my heart)…

                                           …Will…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thank you, Will. You inspire, encourage, facilitate, and most of all you “be”…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thank You Will for Being also!

Okay…been doing a little reading…and Being Person did say something that aligned with much of my researching….that Starseeds are here to bring Heaven to Earth….that we are to show people that we don't need to leave this body and this planet to experience Heaven…that we are to teach the terrestrials (lol) how to Be Here Now…how to bring the perfect and ideals of Heaven and Live them on Earth. Now.

Whaddya think?

I personally can back this as a lifelong theme…teaching people to do just that.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

So – all illumined beings are starseeds?

Can this planet have native illumined beings?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I believe it already has and still does. Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammad were and the Dalia Lama is. We are here to help them.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Ressurected– to answer your q’s,

In the end, that he said “we are here to bring heaven to earth–”

For this reason, at WORST I seem Honorable Person as like the eccentric irishman in the movie braveheart. : D one may not always know where he’s coming from, but he’s going in the right direction, so does it matter?? As much as I’m willing to judge, he might raise a few eyebrows, but as long as he believes that and lives it (important), he’s my boy.

You my boy, blue!

and lifelong theme, yep! I think you’re right right right.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

We're here because we're here.

I've enjoyed reading thie thread, and I'm impressed with the thoughtful contemplation of the concepts presented.  As I read, I see so many of the thoughts and feelings I've had over the years.

I do think there is something “different” about those of us who hear a different voice than the beer-belly, X-Box set.  But, esstetnially, there is no difference.  Every being on this planet has the same ability to perceive and respond that we have.  Not everyone actually does it, though.

So the question I consider is:  Because we can perceive certain types of messages, energy, callings, love, light, etc., does that necessarily mean that we have to have been planted here by someone or something else?  What if WE'RE the normal ones and anyone who doesn't have the experiences are from off-planet?   Or, maybe none of us is from elsewhere and we all just operate at different levels? 

There was a time of magick on this planet.  It was squashed.  Perhaps the magick is just re-emerging through those who have the willingness and courage to allow those messages to be heard through them.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

yup! that could be true too….none of us is really sure..and it would be a much easier answer. I often think if it is all just projections of our unconscious…maybe they are more developed than others…there is defintely a universal consciousness going on here…but is its source internal or external in nature. We may never know…not in this lifetime anyway. I'm sure these experiences have existed since man walked the earth….does it have meaning one way or another or is it just that it is? Maybe we all think too much about it instead of just living. There are many possible answers to our questions…and the more you think about it…the further down the rabbit hole you go and down there is either madness or enlightenment. Is there a difference?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

oh…and this just came if really strong, like a knock over the head….it's all about LOVE and living in our heart…it alone possesses our truth. We are not supposed to “figure it out” . That is the mind's way of keeping us bound. Even everything we do here is simply meant to feed the mind, try and have some answer or control over our experiences…but our heart simple wants to BE. It has no questions….the experience is the answer

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Very true stuff ;-)
Too much analyzing and trying to figure it out leads to loss of Magic and Wonder and Awe and Reverence…
There are way too many wheels within wheels and individual/collective Cycles going on to ever pinpoint one thing with one explanation.
Like that “Theory of Everything”….LOL…that'll never happen, hahahha….even if one came up with it, guaranteed there'll be someone who wouldn't agree. ;-)

“What on Earth are we doing here?”
Well there are an infinite amount of possible answers to that =)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Yes- Resurrected1- it's all about being here now, and bringing heaven to earth, by being present in the moment, every moment,
and Glyndda, I agree- it's All about Love (strongest force, only real force)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hi, I've been sharing some things with a few people who are writing here.  It's easier for me if I know who knows what, in consideration of how humans are experiencing things.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I think it's important that people that are willing to participate consider what is appropriate from this side of things.  I'm working with both sides.  You don't have to.  Actually, please don't if you don't know what your doing, I'll take care of that for now.  It's important that I share some things with people who are appropriate to be a part of things consciously.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…keep hanging tough BP…we can make this work…

  …one suggestion…I can kind of differentiate when bp is talking and when members of the committee join in…something more visual would help…like bold vs script or something like that…the other side communications are a little rough…ie I need to read them over several times before they are clear …this is not a biggee…these things will iron out as we go…

  …I *feel* that some here might be concerned about lower frequency entities…I'm not…as I practice a routine of protection…theren are a lot of beings stuck in 4rth D that can raise heck in the window is left too wide…
  …curious…when you started this …BP…did you put any safe guards in place?…

…you say there are 4 mostly…are they the same 4 ?…do you designate between them ?…or lump them under one catagory?…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

 I understand concerns about lower entities but personally I feel no threat. Everyone has to respond the way they feel most comfortable but I believe I carry enough light and I have no fear of anything that is not in our highest good. I have no interest in them either but, sometimes light and dark kind of go hand in hand and it we don't put a value on either and not let fear make judgements, the light comes out and fear disappears. Often it's where we choose to focus our attention that we see. We are a safe sanctuary here. I am…and hope every here is holding the highest possible frequency. And we are all here to learn. I hope everyone is comfortable, holding love and enjoying the ride!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I think it’s really important, for all of us, to really understand psychology in general in a new light now.

I grew up swimming in it– both parents and two brothers in the field. I even studied it in college, and I can tell you, any mental disease is an can only be negative affect+atypical worldview.

If you have a positive affect, you will make no blip on their mental-health radar screens.

If you have negative affect and a typical worldview, you have depression (your atypical worldview is: nothing is good for me, nothing will help, etc.)

But if you’re misaligned with OUR CURRENT SOCIETY and this causes friction between you and it, and you see things most people don’t, or know things, you’re in trouble.

because now you’re swiming in the waters of mystics, and “scizophrenics drown in the rivers mistics swim in.” Mystics can swim in these here waters because they are light.

weight=doubt. can’t swim in what you’re telling yourself isn’t real…

there was a time when people who showed signs of what we now call mental health were trained as medicinepeople, and shamans. When they were the people in temples, serving the community, in harmony with it.

now, they’re given pills and told to be zombies.

the problem is, that diagnosis of mental illness is like all prophecies a self-fulfilling one. and if you get people swimming in waters of prophecy to believe in a crippling and negative self-fulfilling one, well….

what if our mystics are the ones most representing the imbalances of society?

For me, as I’ve now begun believing and acting on things that clash so violently with the psychology script of today, the thing is to realize how limited that script is, and realize it can only measure acculturation into sick cultures (of a sick humanity), because things went out of balance so long ago for all of us.

Just a few thoughts… I know it’s important for me to remember, and in the coming times probably will be moreso.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Yep. SO Right on. Thanks for setting all that forth!!!

One tiny additional angle: While mental illness or health is indeed culturally relative, I think there are some limits. People can be so warped within their own psyche that they are simply unable to function on any level, spiritual or practical, and in that case they are suffering terribly, and can't survive without being taken care of by someone else. It's the amount of internal suffering that for me is– I think– the line between the mystic and the schizophrenic, to use your terms. Lots of spiritually advanced folks have had to be taken care of by others in their society, and that seems fine to me. But when a person is in agony, lives in fears and doubts and even terror, or lives constantly in rage, and is unable to have satisfying human relationships, then I would be willing to call them “mentally ill” by some universal human standard of what is appropriate to human life. Similar to physical illness. Neither (physical nor mental) would be judged BAD or WRONG or EVIL, but as simply inappropriate to normal healthy human functioning, independent of the culture or mores of any particular society.

This is just a theoretical discussion, I hasten to add!!!! And my views are certainly open to argument. But for reasons various folks here have articulated, this is a particularly relevant and poignant issue for Starseeds, which is why I have continued the discussion.

I just want to emphasize my agreement with you; I think that this culture's view of mental health is so warped I wouldn't even want to go there!!!! LOL!!!!

Blessings, OM Bastet

Sci-fi Budhism

I always thought the Joseph Campbell quote went as “The Shaman swims in the same water as the psychotic drowns in.”

But I am just cut/pasting that off my artist friend’s site at:
http://www.alycesantoro.com/
She’s a trip…

So, I feel that my bipolar experiences are totally metaphorical of the above quote/concept being bounced around, and have mentioned in other sections of this pod.

Thanks for putting up with me. Feel like I’ve found a nice tribe here.

I’d say I almost drowned a few times. I was hospitalized for psychiatric reasons 4 times between 2002-3, but I don’t look back on those experiences with regret, honestly with gratitude, for they completely reshaped my sense of being human.

I was finally fully able to grasp the concept that we are spiritual beings incarnating, life time after life time, to engage in developments that can only be grasped while being in human or other more tangible(i.e. ET) form. This is Heaven, we are all ready here, but it’s turned rather Hellish, need to ship shape it back to Eden once again. Not an easy task, but I feel more and more people are realizing this to be true.

When I saw the film Contact, about 5 years before being kicked in the ass through the looking glass(i.e. losing my mind, bu finding my soul), I sobbed uncontrollably for at least 15 min.. in the parking lot behind the theater. I wasn’t sad, however, at least my mind wasn’t, but my former ET soul was really moved, came pouring out, was weird. My girl friend at the time was like…”what is going on???” It didn’t make any sense at the time, but now it does.

Based on my experiences/insights and research into various native prophecies, 2012, Indigo, etc.. I really think we are quite possibly on a much sooner rendezvous or re-integration with the intergalactic community.

Did any one else catch the report a few weeks ago of the 30 residents in Stephensville, TX reporting seeing a 1 mile long, 1/2 mile wide UFO buzzing over town?

Here’s a Youtube news link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo-dx35bCvc

Thanks for reading my rambles.

I would love to share my article/story regarding new science and “soul-ar” perspectives on bipolar disorder.

Also, seeking a collaboration with a hypnotherapist to “download” the story, so we can create a book, then screen play, then hopefully a real life “Fight Club” type film.

Your time and consideration is greatly appreciated.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…yes…
   …sanctuary…
  …that's what this pod is about…
            …about feeling safe…
 …feeling safe at all bands of the spectrum…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I haven't checked, but this thread is surely on display on the site homepage as one of the Hottest Discussions!!!!

Yes, Will, sanctuary is sanctuary. Blessed. Treasured.

Thanks to you and others for an opportunity to clarify something about myself. I am not in fear about any Beings. I have had plenty of both inner and outer experiences and I pretty much know what to do and have done it many times, though lots of people are much much better than I at some of the specifics.

Fear is not where I am standing. I am standing in intimate (although not first-person) and passionately concerned and compassionate space about how the mental-health establishment regards so many of us. It's a damn shame, to be blunt and judgmental for a moment. So I am not at all coming from an “establishment” perspective.

I have assisted a number of people through spiritual emergencies/emergences, and I have a couple of degrees in psychology, and I can tell the difference, pretty often, in those types of phenomena. Not so intuitively as Alan, but I get a hunch based on all I know and have experienced, and re experience, I am a good deal older than most folks in this group—WRT chronological years in this embodiment, haha I need to specify that way of measuring age, here, tee heee.

So anyway, it's good that we all avoid assumptions here, about anything, and I see that wisdom operating here. In fact, the wise reminder that we see what we are looking for!

Re another point brought up earlier: It is my opinion that not all illumined or advanced souls on the planet are “visitors” but some of them are, and there is, I believe, no way for anyone outside to determine who someone is, or where they are coming from. It's an introspective truth, quizzes aside, though they can trigger, or open contemplation. It's just an inner sense or knowing about self, no one can convince someone else that they are or aren't a visitor or indigenous human. I have spotted some people I suspected were visitors who were unaware and with their cooperation I facilitated their awareness, for their greater comfort with self, and greater ability to share their gifts, but ultimately it was their truth to own or not.

All excellent to contemplate. My take: No, not at all necessarily that everyone who is into messages, energy, callings, love, light, etc. is planted here from elsewhere. IMO That is not a defining characteristic of either group.

Re the next question, that What if seems unlikely because a huge PERCENTAGE of the people who DO have those experiences self-identify as being [in some respect or manner] from off the planet. Far fewer of those who don't have the experiences appear to be, or self-identify as, from offplanet.

Maybe none of us is from elsewhere, we're just different levels.? That is also unlikely because so many of us have such vivid and poignant or even heartbreaking or even uplifting memories or sense or experiences of “elsewhere.”

So those are REALLY GOOD “What if's” to consider, and those would be my responses. And I totally agree there was a time of magick, of paradise, or Eden, or Lemuria, or whatever, and it faded or disappeared, and it is reappearing for and through many who have the willingness and courage. AND other things are going on simultaneously, to assist and facilitate and synergize with that. And even that, if I might be so bold as to state this perspective, is PART OF a MUCH Bigger Picture going on.

Nuff for one post. This is already one of the longest threads on the site, but we are all seemingly reluctant to leave this wonderful room even to explore other rooms in the Sanctuary, or build new ones. So, carry on!!!!

Blessings to all, Rev. O.M. Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

so pleased I wasn't alone out here….

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thanks for taking the time to contemplate my questions, 1V3.  I really put them out there just for that – contemplation.  I thought I was reading in this thread that folks wih our “gifts” weren't of this world.  I was just putting another idea into the mix for discussion.

I agree that some are from hereabouts and others are from thereabouts.  I just see myself as an individuated expression of the One, God, whatever you want to call it.  God/Spirit expresses through me as much as I allow it to express.  There are times when it is out of this world.  Which is why I've spent less time in those realms.  It's hard to mix the two.  For me, anyway.

I think we all “channel” some aspect of God/Spirit that we are uniquely designed to channel.  Some are more aware of it than others.  Some of us could always do it, but were considered to be too weird and so shut down.  That's my story.  It reactivated in me about 11 years ago, and I didn't run from it.  It's taken a while to accept.  My family thinks I'm a bit “off” (another argument for whether what we experience is psychosis, neurosis, or sanity in an insane world) and I've learned how to be more “normal” when I'm around other people.  I fit in better because I choose to do so, while still knowing there's something unique about the way I interact with the world.

I can relate to Being Person's voices, to some degree.  There have been times when I've received messages and I wondered if I was crazy.  But they were/are so darned real to me!  Even so, I practice discernment with them.  I pay attention to how those messages arrive and to their content.  I always enrobe myself in protection, so I don't generally attract the confusing or negative energies.  That's a conscious choice.

Years ago, I was “given” the opportunity to write books by an inner visitor.  It's one of the things I've most wanted to do.  I was promised fame, wealth, and everything I could possibly want.  THOSE were the warning bells to me.  It wasn't about my being in service, but rather, it was about my being used.  I wasn't willing to be used that way.  And the messages were fear-based.  I let the opportunity pass.  Anything that would take my free will (and I don't think that's an ego statement) is something that I seriously question.

Last summer, my teen-aged nephew began to hear voices and something channeled through him.  Even so, he became violent, combative and destructive.  I didn't have the opportunity to witness it, but my sister went to visit our brother during that trying time for him and his family.  My sister said it was pretty horrific.  My brother, however, felt that his son had reached some sort of enlightened state.  He spoke in perfect rhyme and solved incredible math problems.  According to my brother, my nephew's  philosophy teacher said she'd never heard or read philosophy that deep.   My nephew absolutely believed his experiences were real.  Psychotic break or spiritual awakening?  Who can really say.  I wasn't inside my nephew's experience.  Still, my “gut” told me this young man is probably dealing with some kind of psychosis.  Medication helped and he now seems to be back to his previous state.  Is that good or bad?  Again, who's to say?  Genius is madness and this young man is extraordinarily gifted intellectually and artistically.  Even before this episode, which lasted for several months, he felt he had a calling to help change the world. 

Still, I'm the last person to judge.  I have my own weird experiences to deal with.  Yet, I think I'm “normal.”  Some gifted souls write beautiful symphonies, others weave incredible tapestries, some write uplifting poetry, and others are master artists and philosophers.  It's all God.  And it's all a gift.  It's just a different way of tuning in to and broadcasting our particular frequency on the universal dial.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Before I leap into critical thought (as I almost must at this point in such a thread), I feel I ought to clarify where I would be coming from.  I am from America, but it would be a difficult challenge to draw any more accurate a picture beyond that; not because I have lived in a lot of places in America, per se, but because the circumstances of my upbringing were composed in such a way that my identification with various sub- and counter-cultures, mixed with my family's relative isolation, moved my developing personality's expression beyond the limits of my geographical culture (to an extent) and the culture of my heritage (again, to an extent), and even beyond the surface of my national culture (was I Canadian in a former life?).  The result is a fellow who uses a lot of words.  So along with this goes a humble promise: if you go slow (reading), I will, too (responding), and I will do my best to perform research that has me well-informed to participate the next day if there are discussions.
Aah, I feel better now.
Forgive, please, my going on.


Re: Karen's 2nd-most recent post…

I think that free will is always related to an eventual intention.

I'd like respectfully to bring light to Karen's nephew as an example.  To do that, I will need both to admit (not exactly “impersonality,” though …maybe, but) impartiality (as I do not know the young fellow) and to remain as respectful to the sensitivity of the reality as I could.  If this sounds like too much for you as a reader… well, I hope I am properly reproached, and I ask forgiveness in advance.

”Psychotic break or spiritual awakening?  Who can really say.  I wasn't inside my nephew's experience.  ^1 Still, my “gut” told me this young man is probably dealing with some kind of psychosis. 1^  Medication helped and he now seems to be back to his previous state.  Is that good or bad?  Again, who's to say?  ^2 Genius is madness and this young man is extraordinarily gifted intellectually and artistically. 2^  Even before this episode, which lasted for several months, ^2b he felt he had a calling to help change the world. 2b^

1:  He is dealing with two things, and we actually could use the label 'psychosis' for that.  On one hand he is dealing with his self-existence.  On the other hand he is dealing with (perceiving/observing/experiencing/relating to) the shared world as we are in it.  What he is processing is schism that appears to have manifested in what is actually One.

2:  Genius is clarity, and when it perceives a schism between two apparent sides (for instance… a population and… the world they co-inhabit)… a schism that happens to call for widespread recognizant identification in order to be resolved… it is able only to relate with the sensitivity involved in all aspects (people/other), if it continues to exist at its frequency, in a precise way… perhaps unable to communicate about it directly, which is suspenseful.  This is painful.
2b:  We could call this buddha-nature.

3:  Actually you have the same experiences to deal with at different proximity and in a different order (or visa versa, that is, in a different order and at a different proximity… honestly it makes not much difference).  Probably you think you are normal because you, as a person, hold simultaneously a recognition and an acceptance (the combination could be called a realization{…or a neurosis}) of the idea that it is necessary to work with an openness to others' expressions, ways of seeing things and ideas.

4:  I heartily agree.  And I think it is important not just to communicate this point to young people; and important not just to communicate that we have made contact amongst ourselves based on this appreciation, but to communicate on this level with young people.  We are actually giving these people this world that there is.  Karen's nephew has been shown that admitting discipline into his life, a continuing striving for perfection, will be the only possible way of cultivating the precision necessary to relate to others such that there will be potential to transcend the cause-and-effect called for, for humans to continue living in a healing way.  Transcending nerdiness is another way of putting it, so that efficient-and-effective infrastructure could become the next cooperative project for the human collective, and the prominent historical feature of the 3rd millenium C.E.
Discipline is the hardest pill to swallow, which isn't exactly redundant, but it can be ironic or a kind of pun wrought with feedback.  I have a lot of sympathy for individuals who identify with discipline as the only path to …cooperative sympathy and creativity.  It is a demand for attention, and that can be a joy to take up, yet taking it up can seem extremely challenging without encouragement.  And so concern for one another is needed, even on a logical level!

In a way, it's all so Sesame Street.  …which is strange, maybe, but so sacred!  Who has noticed Jim Henson's Starseed qualities!?

We all live different lives, but there comes a time when the opportunity to live those lives together is both a joy and apparent.  I have been living “under the auspices” of a dull hum of psychosis for most of my life, but have never lost track (in a long-term sense) of the value in keeping close to harmlessness (even if it means keeping the technology of combat near–as a picture is worth a thousand words, the sight of dangerousness can be explicitly communicative, potentially transcending the fear/scare factor and indicating plainly the possibility of neutral coexistence).  Now I live in a Shambhala community, where fearlessness is literally the 24-hour lifeblood of devotion.  Fearlessness of generosity (hinayana) and opening (mahayana) and heavy-handed realizing (vajrayana).  As contemplation here is a thoroughly exercised practice, we are not afraid of privacy, of action, of taking care of someone else, nor of communication, because of embracing the choicelessness of karma…  …the actual true illusion-nature of fear.  Being able to co-exist in a community like this creates and nurtures in persons something with the potential to become much lighter than what happens to be discipline,  the eventual pay-off, as we realize that we really do all want others not to suffer, and that we are ourselves gifts… inherently selfless.
I wish a joyful path for your nephew, Karen.  May his gifts touch many lives with their beauty.

Regards to you each of you.  To the Stars!  I look forward to catching up on all of your entries, and I hope I can come to say something more sensitively in the future than what is just here.  Warmth and love.
Namaste.

(PS- I do not want to imply that because Shambhalians embrace fearlessness that we all carry around nunchuks or some such… ha ha… …no.)

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartful response, Cordis.  It's a lot to wade through.  And I thought I was wordy!  ;-)

I will have to re-read and sit with this a little later.  And then further explore with you.

Love,
K

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Dang, I knew I would forget something important.

I could say MUCH MUCH more on this subject, but for now, let me just say my perspective is that ALL “bands of the spectrum” as Will phrased it are not just acceptable or tolerable, they actually have IMPORTANT AND VALUABLE FUNCTIONS in serving this particular of God's projects, namely this planet, this plane.

So I am not coming from rejection either. But I am coming from working toward that every experience of every frequency FULFILL AND COMPLETE its ULTIMATE purpose, which is in our parlance, “serving the Light.”
 
I offer this perspective for those who might find it empowering. Thass why I chose it, LOL!!!!

Namaste to ALL,
OM Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hey, things are pretty good.  Basically, if you view me as someone whose lived on the fringe of affluence, what might my consciousness be?  an amazing contemporary expression of human evolution.  For any person to know the Global Environment the way people typically do, “we” were all tribal once, different “belief systems” hold truths that protect all of us.  I've achieved what I've achieved.  My consciousness if what it is.  I want to play around a bit, like a boy who loves how he's loved, the soda fountain at Kresgies… someplace to wanter, baseball caps filled with a hot fudge sunday.  I collected all the caps of the teams one summer.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

i have such a hard time understanding your words but i feel I know what you're saying in some other way. I think it might be a matter of not reading with my mind but with a different part of me…is that true?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Have you ever wrestled.  When you think of wrestling, you know what that is like, your in the presence of a human being, engaged in wrestling.  It's a matter of simple truths.  Questions that pertain to what your not familiar with are like diving into a dream of dreams as knowing you love being loved as a human being.  I'm much better at being loving than I am at being loved.  When people have let me love them in my past, they knew they are being loved.  Are you better at being loving or loved?  What are you good at?  Can you help save the world?  You have a human body! We have Being Person (super hero) for now.  Are you willing to be nice to people in gentle ways where you just letting them know that being nice connects us to our feelings of love.  It's not a manner of this being or that being.  Who are you?  Do you recycle your kleenex or use a hanky?  I just let things evolve…  in terms of conditioned realities, it's not the survival of the fittest, it's those that can inspire occurrences of love in the hearts of human beings… us…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

i think I am picking up your mind wrestling. I am good at both being loved and loving but I think I am probably better at loving. I've been lucky, I've lived surrounded by others who loved me but did not really know me. How could they? But I have had profound moments of simply experiencing LOVE and have wanted to share that with every stranger.  I exist to serve others.  Have since I was a child…of course, then I wanted to save every animal, insect and rock (yes, I had rock friends), that needed me. But for many years I have felt a calling to elevate humankind…through kindness, inspiration, example. I thought I knew how I was going to do that but now I'm not sure….I know I've passed through a veil and cannot go back to my life as I had once known it but my new life has not yet revealed itself. I feel like I'm in the hallway, waiting. And wondering, just what am I here to do….what role will I play. How can what I hold in my heart and experience benefit others who will walk this path…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

If you let go of serving others, I “think”, serving others will be who you are and you'll just know that. Than you can be more you as you are as a human being now…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

yes, I agree, letting go is much better than wrestling! Letting go is aligning: wrestling is misaligning.

when my head turns, I turn it, yaknow? : ) all of my me’s.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

The way I'd articulate it is; it's more a manner of reality, concerning experiencing a conditioned manner of existence, as beingness throughout Civilization, it's just that the kinder a person is, the less encumbered of a conditioned existence one evolves too.  If you're saying, all conditioned existences are dreams, that might work.  Why anyone would choose that point of view, I don't know, it's sorta a matter of information.  Whatever information you have to consider things with, is what will determine how insightful you are.

...how angels see us...

…in an earlier post Being Person  refered to the entities as orbs…this our essenses also …this is how angels *see* us…as balls of color…our auras are flowing swirls of color that define …our spiritual advancement…our moods…our entanglement with others…etc…everywhere we have been is visible …everything we have experienced in our spiritual careers…is worn like a military person wears “battle ribbons” to show what campaigns they have taken a part in…this Earth lesson color will be worn by all that partake in this campaign…

  …Earth is unique in that the amount of discomfort that is experienced here is far greater that what was expected when this lesson was being set up…and so it has been allowed to unfold…All of us here will be wearing these colors…

  …I *feel* that there is work for all that will have gone through this school …it will be to *show* these colors in universes that are still yet to be created…kind of like a vaccine…

Re: ...how angels see us...

Will- Your posts on this site are awsome! How do you get your information- if you don't mind telling…through meditation, a teacher, a book?
a curious joy

Re: ...how angels see us...

Anyone interested in taking over my responsibilities for awhile?  I'm curious of what love you are?

Re: ...how angels see us...

Ya want to know something very interesting.  It's Super Bowl time.  

Re: ...how angels see us...

Right there with ya, Will, in those understandings. In one of my more agonized moments years ago, I posted a big sign at the edge of this world/plane/universe/space, which said DO NOT ENTER.   HERE   THERE   BE   QUICKSAND !!!!!!!! (and screamed it out to all who might hear)

Each Being here will end up with awesome wisdom which will be shared in many times, many places, many ways, including just from the vibrations we radiate, with all that we have gained in consciousness from our experiences here – the more valuable because of the unpredictability of the specifics we got into. Though maybe in Infinite Consciousness nothing is unpredictable. But for the Creator Beings, yeah.
 
So much more there is to say, related, like WHY the project, WHY create suffering, and how do we indeed pull out of it? Each of us will end up with our own wisdom on these matters.

Blessings, OM Bastet

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…Joy…

  … I'm still not sure how things come to me…
  …sometimes when I am meditateing I get little flashes of light in the back of my eyes when closed…it *feels* like blocks of information…that then takes a while to prosess down …sometimes it when I'm reading and I get this sense that…Hey,I know this …
sometimes things just come out of my mouth befor I'm even thinking it…and it *feels* right…

   …I can only offer *my truth*…
…anyone is free to call BS on anything I say…it's okay…part of the prosess…

  …I roughly divide things into :
    …what I think…
    …what I feel…and
    …what I *know*…

    …when I *know * something…every atom in my body *rings* with it's truth…this not to say that it has to be true for someone else…

    …I might be talking to a fundamental Christian and this will not be their truth…then I will talk to someone else and they are *ready* to hear this…and there is no fault with either…
   …this what Jesus meant when He said,”he that has ears,let him hear”…

   …and BP…no one is able to take on your re-sponcibilities…these are your own…you have the unique preparations to do what you do…and you can call your own breaks…but  everyone of Us have our own re-sponcibilities…watch the game…do the dishes…I'm bringing in firewood…
Spirit is patient…there is exactly enough time to get our spirit work done…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thanks Will, Thanks BP. Go GIants! Not a football fan but just back from a great superbowl party in NYC. It was a zen experience. Something was in the air tonight…I'm feeling very expansive!

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

When my consciousness extends into the entirety of conceptualizations of Capitalism, while watching commercials during the Super Bowl, based on some of the things I read, I begin to think, 'wow, we're all the same, why complicate a good situation'.  I do agree with good intentions while, responsibilities imply consideration to allow others to drink only in my home.  It's as if allowing integralness implies selfishness, and if balance isn't established in consideration of allowing others to drink in my home, a stain might end up on the carpet.  It's as if ideas are better offered to others with opposing views as opposed to like minded views.  I don't want to be a host amongst those who are confident in their views, who don't offer acceptance of other views, lacking stability of view is like not trusting what is within wisdom.  Anyone could say that.  I'm just trying my best to allow healings…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Yes, Will!  I call them “packets.”  The whole thing comes in all at once, and you have to sort it all out!  Yes, yes, yes! 

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…I read your post at many levels BP…I wouldnt be so worried about *stains* on the carpet…for this purpose Spirit provides carpet shampooers…

   …we are handicaped by our biology here…real understanding is only so available…
     …I see understanding as stepping stones that we traverse across a trecherous stream …
these steps get us safely to each particular place…but we must take our foot off of the trailing stone to step to the next…

   …my undertanding has brought me this far…Spirit has led me safely here…I made the steps…when I *see* the next stone that appears stable then I go for it and take the next step…
I've only gotten wet a few times…but I pick myself back up and continue…it might be safest to sit on the first big flat rock by the bank but advancment would be hindered…

   …my re-sponcibilities are to those of a similar frequency to mine that are following me…this is a re-sponcibility of each of us…we are sent here to be way showers…

   …and BP…I love you and am glad we have met up…I send you Strength…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

it's a beautiful thing. Sometimes we all need a shoulder, an ear, a sense we are not alone. And sometimes I wish I could release my calling, pass it along to someone else to carry for a while. I think many of us on this path feel such a sense of responsibility but I often wonder if I'm putting too much on myself…I forget that everything I do is perfect. And that if I just keep bringing myself back into love and the higher perspective, there is no pressure but what we put on ourselves…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I think it's safe to say I'm a “Green Collar Worker”.  To a large degree, the effects of dynamic intentions expressed have been striped down, as I understand.  It's as if stones that lead a path across a river now flow with freedoms of water and stepping on them releases encumberments and results reorientation's I feel are important for people to understand.  I've chosen to be amongst people.  The path shown to me allows choosings that reorient reality to “goodness”. “My” path is very broad.  I say this so people will have a choice to consider what I believe to be true.  The Meek will inherit the Earth in consideration of manners of Healing the Earth and it's atmosphere. It's not a matter of 'I like living way I am familiar with', it's a matter of 'are choices being made to Heal the Earth Environment in consideration of all vibrations that inhabit it.  The sooner some people learn of what I'm speaking the sooner People will be in a position to support the intentions there.  It's a matter of pacing if you will.  It's a slow and patient process as things seem to me.  It may seem much different to others in the future if I am not heard.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hi,

I love all of what all of you are saying, and I want to introduce myself to the pod, and this feels like the thread to do it on.  Seemingly it is astounding, the material that the group has produced in only a couple of days, not only in words, but also in feelings.  To me, the variety of personal input appears new and attractive.
Like I said, I wanted to introduce myself… yet I also want to let out a response I have, though I didn't want to mix the two, for some reason.

I have always felt close to the cosmos, the secretive origin, and also to the surface of the planet.  Already, I have a lot of gratitude only for you reading just this.  And I am grateful that so many people here are tuned in and broadcasting with what is obviously delightful intention.

Salutations and wishes for the best of what is to come.
Namaste,
C

PS - I'll now post a response mainly to Karen's touching post mentioning her brilliant nephew.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Welcome Cordis…

I've been reading all these posts and connecting into each of the members and realize that something else we all share is an elevated intellectual capacity. None of us are dummies. It's almost like our brains can barely contain the information and energies passing through it,. Sometimes its difficult to express the knowing that we  experiene…it's actually been hard for me to respond to posts I've been touched by because I simply could not find the words to communicate what I was experiencing in thought. My brain was seizing up reading it. So, I've been just siting in the energy, tapped in like a plug. Our minds act as a filter and try to organzie the information coming through us in some meanginful way based on our knowledge and experience. And those filters have their limitations. Sometimes these limitations comes through as our own translation of the info, sometimes in others ability to understand, and all of it I'm sure, is tainted by the fact that our humaness is a limitation to what we are experiencing. If we are Starseeds, we are all channeling. Some are more in touch with it and practiced, some are more fearful, some enthralled by the experience.  Maybe that is what differentiates us from other Lightworkers. That we have a profound channel into cosmic information and Beings and feel compelled to share and try to understand it.

Still, it is probably our stillness and intutition we should be cultivating as much as our intellects. I'm wondering if my strong mind is an asset or a hindrence to the process. Does it keep me balanced so I don't fall off the deep end and help me understand the information being given to me…or it is trying to control that information so it can explain it to myself and others? Is my mind blocking the highest information available to me because the mind does not resonate with its organic limitations? The mind is attached to our egos which are wonderful little creatures but they also make judgements and lie to us when convenient. I feel that the hightest information comes through our hearts and much higher selves and that once our minds get a hold of it…it lowers the frequency . The real power comes when we feel these highest energies coming through our heart and take action on them….instead of talking about them. It's interesting to feel the different frequencies coming through and what role they play in our acension.

I also m so happy that everyone here has risen to the essence of this pod and expressed so much kindness and support for everyone else….even if they did not resonate with all that was said. I believe our personal life experiences color the context of our Starseed experience and just like humanlife which has a core of divine sameness but come in different colors and shapes and sizes, Starseeds too are their differences but share the same core of cosmic breath.

Thank you all.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Ooh.  Have you noticed that lately your intellectual capacity has suddenly expanded?  Not just intellectual capacity, but that almost everything you do, touch or say seems to be downright perfect?   People are seeking you out, socially and otherwise?  Answers, ideas, thoughts, understandings – it all just seems to be there?  Compassion flows when you least expect it?  Peace in the midst of chaos without actually having to meditate to find it?  The right thing happens at the right time in your life – even when it comes to locating that hard-to-find item on the grocery store shelf?

I almost hesitate to express these events.  They're happening in my life.  And it feels like it's just going to keep expanding.  And I wonder why all of a sudden I'm so lucky.  And maybe I shouldn't tell anyone about it. 

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

If your talking about circumstances I've been participating in creating, the reason, as I would suggest, that it's not time to talk about it is because I've mostly talked about it with people who think I'm ”  crazy  ”, if you will.  Feel free to talk about it while I think it would be best for me to speak with people very committed to spiritual paths of all “spiritual approaches” to _________ all at the same time.  

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Wow it is great to see all the stars glowing.

When I was young I started seeing a bit of light that I would label as a star that was not physical.  Some time later I came to know that I too was like a star.  When I am the star I am more.  Lately I have come to realize that the star form is Soul and that all persons, animals, etc. are soul/stars.

I have not come to this pod to change it, or the world, but rather to grow me.   I am a chiropractic student and I agree with the philosophy taught at Palmer that we as chiropractors cannot heal anyone but can help with some physical corrections that allow a body to heal if the person is ready.  I am a member of the Eckankar clergy that believes that each soul is on its own journey.  This means that I cannot tell what is best for you.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

…we cannot tell others the *proper* way …but we can share the journey…it's good to be on-planet with you Burdoc…

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

What are we all doing here?

Hmm, there is a reason why the Lord Of The Rings trilogy has such an impact - as a literary masterpiece as well as a Best Picture-winning movie series.

Who among us can't relate to the epic struggle between the forces of darkness and the Light? I sense this battle going on in subtle dimensions, and what is happening on earth as a materialized version of events taking place just beyond the grasp of most human's clear-cut perception.

Who else here spent the better part of the last episode, “The Return of  the King,” crying their hearts out? :-)

I couldn't go to the big screen movie theater to watch it because I knew everyone else would be alarmed by my uncontrollable sobbing. …Especially when all the elves sailed away to the Gray Havens, and only Arwen Evenstar stayed behind, giving up her immortality to help the human whom fate had chosen to be king…

Isn't that our story - all of us here - to some degree?

Yeah, “Frodo Lives!”

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I too was deeply impacted by the Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's about the real “return of the king” the christ consciousness, you know.

check out my new to the community latest post for lots of resources - hopefully they will help answer why we are here.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Finally, I had a chance to read some of the other posts on this thread. Glynna, I want to know about your dreams about the spaceships as I have had many dreams about just that. Has anyone else dreamt about them coming?

Once when I was very young (around 10-12)  I dreamt they landed in a field not too far from my home. Then years would pass I wouldn't even think about it until I started acknowledging that I was not from this world. Then there were several more dreams. Some telling me specifically of places where they would land and pick up people that needed to be evacuated. Those dreams I was comfortable with. Then I had one very scary dream which may have been an actual abduction (or so I've been told) - I dreamt they had come for me and I didn't want to go, these beings scared me (most of been the greys), they were not the ones I felt comfortable with, I remember trying to block the door so they couldn't get in, then I didn't remember anything after that. Then I had some other dreams, where I knew some had come for me again, this time, I was reluctant to go but only because I didn't want to leave my family but KNEW I had to and was okay with leaving. Shortly after that I had some strange experiences of a toy going off in the middle of the night, a toy of my kids played several different phrases, but in the middle of the night woke me up saying “are we there yet” - only saying that phrase and saying it once, the next morning I pushed the button to see if it was stuck on that one saying and it wasn't, the other sayings followed suit like they normally would. Nights later the same thing happened again, waking me up in the middle of the night with “are we there yet” again. Finally I couldn't take it and took the batteries out as it was just freaking me out. I also had a dream one time when I was taking a nap and my daughter came in and woke me up and she said, I was saying, “but why me, I'm not worthy”. When she woke me, I remembered what I was dreaming. I was dreaming an angel was talking to me telling me I was here to help others, and I couldn't understand why I was chosen as I didn't feel like I was special enough. Months later I was speaking with an acquaintance of mine about weird dreams and I told him about this dream and before I could tell me what I was saying in my sleep, he finished my sentence for me as he had the very same dream and woke up saying the same thing. If that wasn't a strange coincedence I don't know what was.

Glynna, it's interesting you speak of the dragonflies and the elementals. I also have an affinity with them as well but am also drawn to other totems as well, the hawk being my predominant one. The Hawk, messenger of the gods, they say. I see them all of the time, and it is not a coincedence, they are there to remind me of my connection to spirit. I also have an affinity with white animals, the polar bear, the white wolf, the white buffalo, and the white beluga whales.
Also, other whales and dolphins, and angels.

I read Doreen Virtues book on Earth Angels and scored high on almost all of the associations, the angels, the elementals, the starseeds and the wise ones. The only one I didn't score high on were the Walk Ins. So, I wonder if I am just a dabbler as they say. I wish I knew which one I really belonged to.

How about the rest of you? Has anyone else read that book? And what did you think of it?

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

I was looking at some documents I have saved on my mom's computer regarding Starseeds. I had copied some info from some other sites but can't remember what they were. I did want to share this info I found though. Maybe it will answer some of the questions people are asking about why we are here:

  There are certain people on Earth who have descended from the stars.  They are on a mission to help stranded souls who have become confused.  These people are different from other people in that they seem to dazzle with a stronger output of energy.  Indeed, if their energy could be measured, it would be stronger than many, regular auras.  But psychic sensitives can perceive it and know the powerful Star People who spin fire in their vortex during the changing of planes. 

At this time in evolution, we are, indeed, in the development of a Sixth Kingdom, a new species, exceeding humankind.  Eventually, the Soul goes on to even higher things, such as developing new Hierarchical archetypes of planetary systems.  Even after graduating from that level, there are still many, many higher levels and authorities.

All emanate from a common Source.  All is energy and vibration.  Solar radiation consists of vibratory long-wave energies, as well as short-wave finger energies.  The self-consciousness, or ego, breaks away and flows into the stream of universal consciousness.  Light and sound is within all.

Some of the ETs that are observing us are our relatives. 

Unusual Birth and Prebirth Experiences of the Star People.

Some are born awake and can hold their heads up almost immediately. 

We, as humans, have no control over where or to whom we will be born.  It is the responsibility of the Soul to see that were are born into the proper environmental circumstances which will aid us to achieve greater awareness and to enrich the level of Soul vibrations toward the Source.

The Soul seeks to return to the domain of highest vibration occupied by God and other Soul's who did not lower their vibrations.  Therefore, the Soul selects each facet of life from the viewpoint of which sec, race, parents, country, culture and environment will afford it with the greatest vibrational patterns of learning. 

For those who are starseed, a two-fold process of selection was made by the Soul.  First, of course, vibrational patterns were selected for the gaining of the Soul.  Second, Starseeds are prodded to be where they will be able to affect the vibrational awarenesses of all those around them.  They are placed in positions where they might affect the greatest number of people so that they might aid humankind in it's evolution and in its times of greatest need.  When a Soul prompts a Starseedling, it is more for the gaining of others than just for the gaining of that Soul's vibrational input.

Not only is there a silver cord connected from our physical bodies to our soul, there is a gold cord connected from the soul to the higher self.

Extending from the Higher self, there are more cords which form starlike rays in every direction  which connect every lifetime that soul has entered into.

With every lifetime, that soul raises higher in vibration until it can return to Source.

Star people also dream of experiencing contact with their soul families.

Other dream symbology.  Trees, birds, doors, water, mountains, attacking animals, food.

Doors are representative of new ways open to you, attacking animals, of hostile people or problems. Birds, messages of awareness flying toward you from beyond, water creative energy.  If the water is muddy or if it is clear will indicate to you how you are using your creative energy.  Mountain represents wisdom from the source, trees, low branches indicated people who are easy to reach high branches represent those who are difficult to reach.

These are common dreams to star people.

A crystal city, A classroom, sitting with a robed or spacesuited teacher.  Meeting a high being aboard a UFO, a feeling of oneness with animals that permits communication with them, a sky bearing two moons, a new planet coming into vision, crashing from the sky, a massive fire surrounding oneself in a space vehicle, an alien home planet beyond the stars, meeting a more perfect image of oneself, moving through the rainbow and feeling it's vibration, traveling to another planet or another dimension, recognizing many people and finding a place that is your true home.

It is common to experience such a wonderful feeling of seeing or being somewhere else but also feeling so sad that you long to return home.

Child's soul

Ties but a fragment of life

A part of the whole

To you, your child

To me, a soul

Signs on High

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Yes!  This is the water that hits the seeds, and grows the tree. 
New Earth. 

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

And isn't it time for the divine feminine to manifest and show us the way to the new earth? 

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Hey team:

I don't know about how the rest of you feel but we could go on and on about our missions and this post is getting way too long to navigate through. Anyone else up for a New Post and we can call it “A Call to Higher Service” like Patricia Cota Robles once titled one of her newsletters? I motion we do that as this site doesn't seem to be that easy to navigate so why don't we just do a new one?

I am going to make a new post and title it that as a continuation of this one so it will be easier to read.

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

*grin* sorry, I have a fondness for forgotten threads…

Well, as I mentioned before, my guides told me I am here to “birth the healers” and several times over the last few weeks I have thought of people as I was drifting off to sleep, and how they needed energetic “help” or healing for one reason or another, and my hands started tingling strongly. Last night, my guides instance seemed particularly strong, and included some more specific instruction. So, we'll see how it goes (schedules are difficult to match up sometimes), but I may be around a little less while I work offline with a few folks I know who are ready to be “activated”.

I guess my guides are urging me to get busy on the specifics, lol.

Wish me luck!

Many blessings,
Mercale

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

You are wished luck and you don't need “luck!”

Thanks for being willing to engage in your purpose.

In the Love We Are,
OM

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

Thought I'd send this overview  of 2009 by Solara (same author as “The Starborne”)

I hope it hasn't been posted elsewhere on this group as I have so little time to read everything these days….anyway here goes:

Subj: Solara : 2009 Overview
 

 justchannelings@yahoogroups.com" title="mailto:justchannelings@yahoogroups.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://us.mc448.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=justchannelings@yahoogroups.com 

      THE 2009 OVERVIEW

    During 2009, everything that is false, that is based on selfish
greed or the illusion of separation or that lacks integrity will be
ultra magnified until it fails. All that is true and integrous will
succeed. This puts everything ON THE LINE for us. Do we follow the
road that takes us to our Wildest Dreams or do we continue traveling
on the road that is quickly turning into a nightmare?

    Throughout the year, many of us will relocate to the places of our
New Lives if we're real and true and if our personal matrix is clear.
Even if we don't physically move to a new location, our immediate
environment will be noticeably different. Once this happens, there
will be a dramatic shift of the people and props in our life; our new
careers will be revealed; our One True Loves will be met. Even our
daily routines and accustomed habits will change.

    Regarding jobs and careers: In 2009 we will have much greater
success creating our own jobs and working with like minded others than
working at old duality-based jobs. This is because the whole
duality-based economy is in the process of Null-Zoning.

    This is the year for the Emergence of the True Ones. People all
over the world will openly step into their full mastery so they can
fulfill their true purpose. There will be a dramatic changing of the
guard and passing of the sceptres of responsibility.

    And all the while, everything built upon the illusion of duality
will continue to fall apart….

    This can make walking through 2009 challenging at times. We need
to be ultra aware of what is going on in the world, yet we have to be
careful not to get pulled into it. No matter what is happening around
us, we must follow a clear trajectory into the New and True.

    2009 has two very distinct parts, each with an unique focus.

    JANUARY - MAY

    The first half of the year from January through May resembles a
construction site with all the workers arriving at the same time to
begin work on a large project. Each person has their own special
skills which are greatly needed to complete the mammoth project in
front of us. There is much to achieve in a short time which requires
tremendous focus and effort from us. And although there is a blur of
heightened activity, if we remain focused on our goal, much can be
achieved with a minimum of stress.

    During this time, there will be lots of Ho'o Pono Pono or Making
Things Right taking place. We will continually scour our beings to
find anything that holds us back or keeps us untrue. One of the things
that we must get free of is being held back by the control of the
petty tyrant of our ego. We simply can't be ego driven any more if we
want to become True Beings. When we put on the false garments of the
ego, we are trying to cover up our feelings of insecurity and
inadequacy, that we are not good enough. This false veneer may fool
some people; it may make us temporarily feel better, but it only holds
us back from being real and true. Our egos absolutely need to be
brought into alignment with our True Core Selves in order for us to
travel on the road of Emergence. There is nothing better than being
our True Core Self. It's no longer about acquiring power or knowledge;
it's about being real.

    Others things that can hold us back are doubting what we really
know to be true, the fear of failure that we won't be good enough,
lack of confidence in our own abilities, and the fear of leaping
without a visible safety net. All of these elements must be removed
from our personal matrix as soon as possible.

    We must now clear up any remaining residue of the past and heal
any wounds that we accumulated during our journey. There will be much
focus on completing the old. We will be sifting through everything,
getting rid of old stuff both inside ourselves and in our outer
environment. We will be tying up loose threads and closing many old
chapters of our lives. At the same time, we will acquire essential
tools and skills for our New Lives. Many things will be shifted out of
their old positions into new temporary ones. On many levels we will
feel that we are in transit.

    Part of our vast letting go of the past will be stepping out of
unfulfilling relationships, jobs and activities. Much is on the move
during these months. Many of us will relocate during this time. If so,
we may not move directly to our final destination, but rather to a
temporary position within the right area.

    We will also experience a series of things clicking into position.
This includes meeting key people from our New Lives and a clicking in
with our outer environment. We will be integrating some of the people
we already know with ones whom we've just met. This will create a new
energy dynamic. We will discover that we are not meant to do things by
ourselves anymore, that our greatest success comes with working with
others in mutual support. Many of us will come together with kindred
people to form new communities of mutual support. Living and working
with kindred people will immeasurably strengthen our position for it
is the way of the New.

    Around March, we will be looking for our right new situation,
especially regarding where we live and the new work we will do. We
will be testing the waters, making new connections and finding a place
to land as we organize our New Life. We will be dealing with lots of
practicalities. This will continue in April as we get more settled and
start spreading out our roots to see what's there. We will also
experience a creative surge that is inspired by our new landscape. And
the waters of the River of new True Love will start flowing….

    May brings us a change of gears that signifies a powerful shift.
The Surf rises to tsunami proportions to bring us major quantum
breakthroughs that will move us to an entirely new level that we
barely knew existed. This is when we will see the first new shoots of
the plants we have put into our new landscape rise to the surface. We
are swept along in the rising currents of the River of new True Love
as it flows into the Ocean of Love.

    JUNE

    The month of June stands by itself. It is a mega Turning Point
which vastly transforms us. The pivot that has held things into their
old positions make its final turn and everything shifts into its new
position. Any remaining veils suddenly drop away and the wonder of our
new landscape is fully revealed. During this time, we will suddenly
see things that we didn't know existed. This will occur on the
physical all around us. It will feel like our color spectrum suddenly
expands, enabling us to see new colors. In June we will also
experience our first MUA as the New Matrix of One True Love is finally
born. This will fling open the floodgates of Pure Heart True Love.

    JULY - DECEMBER

    For the rest of the year, we will move comfortably into our New
Lives. It won't be difficult to adjust; it will feel natural. We will
be joining together with our true people to live and work together.
There will be a strong sense of connectedness with kindred people,
even with those who live on the other side of the planet. The sleeping
giant of our One Being will finally shake off its slumber and arise
into its magnificence. Sharing responsibility and serving as One, we
will finally be doing what we really came here to do on a vast scale.
At the same time, we will finally be able to turn our attention to our
personal needs and desires, taking care of any health issues that
we've neglected from lack of time or lack of funds.

    Those who are true and real will be traveling on a massive Fast
Track. Yet, although much will be happening, it will not be
overwhelming because we will be doing it together as ONE.

    Our long suppressed creativity will spill out to the surface. Our
One True Loves will be at our side. We will joyously live our Wildest
Dreams filled with LOVE beyond anything presently imaginable.

    And all the while, everything built upon the illusion of duality
will continue to fall apart….

     

    HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    Make the Great Year of 2009 bring you
    the Breakthrough of All Breakthroughs
    the Fulfillment of your Wildest Dreams
    and the Love of All Loves.

    With Deepest LOVE from my Heart of Hearts,

    Solara

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

This poem is to excite and make thy heart move
Can you hear the tempo, can you feel the groove?

The time draws near to combine and gather
To link up with like minds through sound i'd rather

Than going to work or school or play
I am content with chanting “hu” all day

A group with no leader except for love and light
Teamwork creating a new world just out of sight

Yet the gap is closing with each passing hour
A unified earth is the dream that's gaining power

So get out of the house and tune into the land
Let's make this planet vibrate from oceans to sand

Sympathetic resonance will awaken the coded grid
We are here to help out gaia like the ancients did

Come one, come all, add your voice to this goal
2012 is almost here, the harvest of one's soul

Surfing the galactic wave back to the cosmic womb
Resting in timelessness 'til the next big bang goes boom

If your in harmony with these words then follow the link
The global mind is emerging, telepathy is on the brink

Re: ...what on Earth are we doing here?...

In peace
