Quoting: Schmieder 324203Do we all understand the potential consequences? I hadn't realised it was a super-volcano, actually..thanks. (Had no connexion today, to surf). Can you tell us more, briefly? And do you think this signifies a change in the electrical field, i.e. instead of global warming, it's actually a global electrical phenomenon? And did you catch my Dan Winter post a couple of days back? Btw, beautiful post about your recent sighting, and I'm so glad your wife is wholeheartedly with you. You certainly have a role to play in our future.

Not saying the 5th night is dark, rather, it is the ultimate reflection/action/returning action of what we aspire, dream and promote around the world. Unfortunately, the world is a mean and dark place right now. We, mankind, will reap what we have sown in the 5th night. As far as I can explain, I may be off base there regarding the 5th night. I do know it is a very influencial period though. If not the most prominent of all the mayan 'days' However, the good in the world will also be reflected in the 5th night. Its a shame there is much more evil then good right now though. This link will better explain the chile volcano. My only knowledge of it being a super volcano is from here so I have some skepticism but it looks like its the real deal. Thread: Chaiten is a CALDERA volcano and yes, the mayan 6th day. I will be patiently waiting for it to arrive. G'night Div |

| ~ Allie LIIS User ID: 427851 United States05/06/2008 10:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Love Workers and Truth Workers ~ I think that's a distinction that probably only I will use for the current division illusion I percieve here. I find love in both and truth in both. The first, I witness as being more about love, which doesn't always work through the deeper, darker, truer feelings. The later, I witness as being more about truth, which doesn't always reflect a loving approach. I feel much is accomplished by both and the ultimate combintation of the two is without distinction. Currently I am trying to understand both (the lines that perhaps only I see)... I am analyzing more from a Truth Worker persepctive and reflecting more from a Love Worker perspective. When Chuck told me what happened I discussed with him and thought from a Truth Worker perspective. I question, why did this happen? What are my thoughts to make this happen? What are Chuck's thoughts to make this happen? Where was the other guy coming from? And yes, I feel that most likely this is drug related because of Chuck's description of the man. After discussing and thinking I switched to the Love Worker perspective. I decided that I would, of course, accept and release my need to feel feareful/angry by the situtation. Chuck is trying to do the same, but of course this is in his own timing :). We said, "Let's think more positivley about money coming into our life, rather than focusing on the hardships (in Chuck's financial life)." We both believe in the Law of Attraction. We then discussed how tough that guy's life must be. Honestly, we both feel sorry for the man. This doesn't mean that we think what he did was right. It is just that Chuck and I are really starting to see all life of the world as our Brothers and Sisters. That's simply where are hearts rest, absorbing more and reflecting more. Karma does come back around. I believe that. Chuck must accept this as well. He made some poor moves out of desperation in his younger youth... but that is only his to share. Of course, I hugged him tight and I will share with him all the love and stregth given ;). Thank you, All, ONE!!! To Truth Workers and Love Workers: (We're all a combination of the two... just in our own degress... in my eyes, of course). O! P.S. As so much of my family is or is recovering from drug addictions, I cannot turn away/hate those who make these kinds of decisions. It is part of my path, as I see and feel it, to understand and help these people. Naturally, only they can make the choice, but I can reflect love to them and honesty when I see an in to do so :). |

Quoting: Divinity*Please note this is what Dan Winter is also looking into...life before the great cataclysm called Vischnu (I posted a few days ago)* Love Div xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx David Talbott, from the Thunderbolts Forum, Electric Universe Theory: ORIGINS OF MYTH -------------------------- Before beginning a visual summary of the Saturn hypothesis, I shall offer a brief review of “Saturnian enigmas.” Most of the material given in these note will be found, with references, in the early chapters of my book, The Saturn Myth. Additional references given in my article, “On Testing the Polar Configuration,” AEON: A Journal of Myth and Science, Vol II, 1988. But as many readers now know, the model explaining the traditions has grown dramatically in the past 15 to 20 years. The Myth of the Golden Age ----------------------------------- When the world began, according to the biblical account and other Hebrew myths, Adam, the first man and prototype of man, occupied a garden of abundance, in direct communion with God--a deathless realm, free of sickness and any need for human labor. Loss of that original paradise was nothing less than a cosmic rupture, and never, since that rupture, has man experienced a comparable terrestrial condition. The Eden story is filled with interesting and familiar images. Four rivers of paradise, tree of Life and tree of the Knowledge, devious serpent, Adam's rib, temptress Eve, flaming sword at the gate, and more. But what immediately concerns us is a single underlying theme, a theme clearly linked to a memory preserved on every habitable continent. A global myth declares that the world has not always been as it is experienced now. In a former time, man lived in a kind of paradise, close to the gods. It was the Golden Age. Throughout an eternal spring, the earth produced abundantly, free from the seasonal cycles of decay and rebirth. And under this remarkable cosmic order, man experienced neither war nor sickness, neither hunger nor any requirement of human labor. This recurring and unexplained myth was carried into modern times by primitive races the world over. In Mexico native legends spoke of an ancestral generation whose every need was met, without cost. There was no sickness or hunger no poverty or sadness, and the gods dwelt among men. But this harmonious age didn't last, eventually succumbing to an overwhelming catastrophe. According to the Cheyenne of North America the original race roamed naked, innocent and free, enjoying the natural abundance of an eternal spring. What followed, however, was an age of flood, war, and famine. The Caribs of Surinam have a poignant memory of this fortunate epoch. "In a time long past, so long past that even the grandmothers of our grandmothers were not yet born," they say, "the world was quite other than what it is today: the trees were forever in fruit; the animals lived in perfect harmony, and the little agouti played fearlessly with the beard of the jaguar " The South American Indians of Gran Chaco and Amazonia recall this as the Happy Place, where work was unknown because the fields produced abundance of their own accord. The Hopi Indians proclaim that in the earliest time they were a marvelously contented race, at peace with their brothers. They knew nothing of sickness or conflict, and all things were provided by Mother Earth without any requirement of labor. But these are just the American Indian versions of the story. The aborigines of Australia insist that their first ancestors enjoyed a Golden Age, a Paradise of abundant game and without conflict of any kind. Northern Europeans once celebrated this earliest age as the "Peace of Frodi," a mythical Danish king. Throughout this peaceful epoch no man injured another and a magical mill ground out peace and plenty for the entire land. Memories of a Golden Age pervade the myths of Africa. The distinguished folklorist Herman Baumann reported that "Everything that happened in the primal age was different from today. People understood the language of animals and lived at peace with them; they knew no labor and had food in plenitude." Sacred texts of ancient India recall this as the Krita Yuga or "Perfect Age," without disease, labor, suffering or war. The Iranians called it the age of the brilliant Yima, an age with "neither cold nor heat," an eternal spring. According to ancient Chinese lore, the purest pleasure and tranquillity once reigned throughout the world. Mythical histories called it "the Age of Perfect Virtue" and declared that "the whole creation enjoyed a state of happiness. . . all things grew without labor; and a universal fertility prevailed." First expressions of the tradition -------------------------------------- How old, then, is this ancient memory of a lost paradise? In their myths, rites and hymns the ancient Sumerians contrasted their own time to the earliest remembered age--what they called "the days of old," or "that day," when the gods "gave man abundance, the day when vegetation flourished." This was when the supreme god An "engendered the year of abundance." To this primeval age, every Sumerian priest looked back as the reference for the preferred order of things, which was lost through later conflict and deluge. In the city of Eridu at the mouth of the Euphrates, the priests recalled a Golden Age prior to familiar history. The predecessors of their race, it was claimed, had formerly reposed in the paradise of Dilmun, called the "Pure Place" of man's genesis. This lost paradise of Dilmun, about which scholars have debated for decades, is strangely reminiscent of the paradise of Eden. "That place was pure, that place was clean. In Dilmun...the lion mangled not. The wolf ravaged not the lambs," the Sumerian texts read. The inhabitants of this paradise lived in a state of near perfection, in communion with the gods, drinking the waters of life and enjoying unbounded prosperity. Ancient Egypt, an acknowledged cradle of civilization, preserved a remarkably similar memory. Not just in their religious and mythical texts, but in every sacred activity, the Egyptians incessantly looked backwards, to events of the Zep Tepi. The phrase means the "First Time," a time of perfection "before rage or clamor or strife or uproar had come about," as the texts themselves put it. This was the paradise of Ra, and the memories of that time echoed through centuries of Egyptian thought. "The land was in abundance," the texts say. "There was no year of hunger. . .Walls did not fall; thorns did not pierce in the time of the Primeval Gods." Or from another text: "there was no unrighteousness in the land, no crocodile seized, no snake bit in the time of the First Gods." Cosmic harmony, abundance, paradise on earth. To this paradisal, according to the great nineteenth century scholar Francois Lenormant, the Egyptians "continually looked back with regret and envy." The golden age of Ra was, for the Egyptians, the great "example" setting a standard for all later ages. A surprising fact emerges. The legend of the Golden Age or ancient paradise is as old as civilization. And the implications are well worth pondering. A coherent set of ideas has survived all of the twists and turns of cultural evolution for at least five thousand years--and on every continent. Now that's an astonishing verification of the durability of myth! Many of us had always thought of myth as the outcome of reckless invention--illiterate savages entertaining themselves by contriving magical stories out of nothing. Imagine such a process going on for thousands of years, and ask yourself if any possibility of a universal memory would remain. Sacred rememberance -------------------------- Bear in mind that the myth-makers did not just recount a charming tale; they strove desperately to recover what was lost. In the infancy of civilization collective activity reflects a singular reference to the age of the gods--the honoring of the gods through celebration, representation, reenactment, codification, and massive construction activity. In fact, there are numerous grounds for saying that civilization itself was the outcome of this fundamentally religious activity. Perhaps the most accomplished analyst of mythology in modern times was the late Mircea Eliade, chairman of the Department of History of Religions at the University of Chicago, and editor of the Encyclopedia of Religion. From his meticulous, lifelong survey of the subject, professor Eliade drew a stunning conclusion: literally every component of early civilizations--from religion to art and architecture--expressed symbolically the desire to recover and to re-live the lost Golden Age. That which symbolically transported the participant back to the First Time, the Golden Age, was sacred. That which did not was transient and mundane, of no interest. The role of this memory in the ancient cultures carries vast implications for our understanding of the events that provoked human imagination in the myth-making epoch. Early man yearned for a return to paradise. Every coronation of a king, every New Year's festival, monumental construction, every recitation of temple hymns and prayers, every holy war, every sacrifice to the gods was motivated by a desire to recapture some aspect of the Golden Age, to live, if only for a symbolic moment, in that enchanted, opening chapter in the book of gods and wonders.

"In a time long past, so long past that even the grandmothers of our grandmothers were not yet born," they say, "the world was quite other than what it is today: the trees were forever in fruit; the animals lived in perfect harmony, and the little agouti played fearlessly with the beard of the jaguar " The South American Indians of Gran Chaco and Amazonia recall this as the Happy Place, where work was unknown because the fields produced abundance of their own accord. The Hopi Indians proclaim that in the earliest time they were a marvelously contented race, at peace with their brothers. They knew nothing of sickness or conflict, and all things were provided by Mother Earth without any requirement of labor. But these are just the American Indian versions of the story. The aborigines of Australia insist that their first ancestors enjoyed a Golden Age, a Paradise of abundant game and without conflict of any kind. Northern Europeans once celebrated this earliest age as the "Peace of Frodi," a mythical Danish king. Throughout this peaceful epoch no man injured another and a magical mill ground out peace and plenty for the entire land. Memories of a Golden Age pervade the myths of Africa. The distinguished folklorist Herman Baumann reported that "Everything that happened in the primal age was different from today. People understood the language of animals and lived at peace with them; they knew no labor and had food in plenitude." Sacred texts of ancient India recall this as the Krita Yuga or "Perfect Age," without disease, labor, suffering or war. The Iranians called it the age of the brilliant Yima, an age with "neither cold nor heat," an eternal spring. According to ancient Chinese lore, the purest pleasure and tranquillity once reigned throughout the world. Mythical histories called it "the Age of Perfect Virtue" and declared that "the whole creation enjoyed a state of happiness. . . all things grew without labor; and a universal fertility prevailed." First expressions of the tradition -------------------------------------- How old, then, is this ancient memory of a lost paradise? In their myths, rites and hymns the ancient Sumerians contrasted their own time to the earliest remembered age--what they called "the days of old," or "that day," when the gods "gave man abundance, the day when vegetation flourished." This was when the supreme god An "engendered the year of abundance." To this primeval age, every Sumerian priest looked back as the reference for the preferred order of things, which was lost through later conflict and deluge. In the city of Eridu at the mouth of the Euphrates, the priests recalled a Golden Age prior to familiar history. The predecessors of their race, it was claimed, had formerly reposed in the paradise of Dilmun, called the "Pure Place" of man's genesis. This lost paradise of Dilmun, about which scholars have debated for decades, is strangely reminiscent of the paradise of Eden. "That place was pure, that place was clean. In Dilmun...the lion mangled not. The wolf ravaged not the lambs," the Sumerian texts read. The inhabitants of this paradise lived in a state of near perfection, in communion with the gods, drinking the waters of life and enjoying unbounded prosperity. Ancient Egypt, an acknowledged cradle of civilization, preserved a remarkably similar memory. Not just in their religious and mythical texts, but in every sacred activity, the Egyptians incessantly looked backwards, to events of the Zep Tepi. The phrase means the "First Time," a time of perfection "before rage or clamor or strife or uproar had come about," as the texts themselves put it. This was the paradise of Ra, and the memories of that time echoed through centuries of Egyptian thought. "The land was in abundance," the texts say. "There was no year of hunger. . .Walls did not fall; thorns did not pierce in the time of the Primeval Gods." Or from another text: "there was no unrighteousness in the land, no crocodile seized, no snake bit in the time of the First Gods." Cosmic harmony, abundance, paradise on earth. To this paradisal, according to the great nineteenth century scholar Francois Lenormant, the Egyptians "continually looked back with regret and envy." The golden age of Ra was, for the Egyptians, the great "example" setting a standard for all later ages. A surprising fact emerges. The legend of the Golden Age or ancient paradise is as old as civilization. And the implications are well worth pondering. A coherent set of ideas has survived all of the twists and turns of cultural evolution for at least five thousand years--and on every continent. Now that's an astonishing verification of the durability of myth! Many of us had always thought of myth as the outcome of reckless invention--illiterate savages entertaining themselves by contriving magical stories out of nothing. Imagine such a process going on for thousands of years, and ask yourself if any possibility of a universal memory would remain. Sacred rememberance -------------------------- Bear in mind that the myth-makers did not just recount a charming tale; they strove desperately to recover what was lost. In the infancy of civilization collective activity reflects a singular reference to the age of the gods--the honoring of the gods through celebration, representation, reenactment, codification, and massive construction activity. In fact, there are numerous grounds for saying that civilization itself was the outcome of this fundamentally religious activity. Perhaps the most accomplished analyst of mythology in modern times was the late Mircea Eliade, chairman of the Department of History of Religions at the University of Chicago, and editor of the Encyclopedia of Religion. From his meticulous, lifelong survey of the subject, professor Eliade drew a stunning conclusion: literally every component of early civilizations--from religion to art and architecture--expressed symbolically the desire to recover and to re-live the lost Golden Age. That which symbolically transported the participant back to the First Time, the Golden Age, was sacred. That which did not was transient and mundane, of no interest. The role of this memory in the ancient cultures carries vast implications for our understanding of the events that provoked human imagination in the myth-making epoch. Early man yearned for a return to paradise. Every coronation of a king, every New Year's festival, monumental construction, every recitation of temple hymns and prayers, every holy war, every sacrifice to the gods was motivated by a desire to recapture some aspect of the Golden Age, to live, if only for a symbolic moment, in that enchanted, opening chapter in the book of gods and wonders.

| ~ Allie LIIS User ID: 427851 United States05/07/2008 01:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Phoenix ~ Thank you for your prayers for Chuck and I. We appreciate it. The former statement concerning the man is your opinion and I respect it as yours. From my opinion, I especially wouldn't wish punishment on the man's family... we have no idea what condition his family is in or what condition that man is in, for that matter. I can discern that what he did was wrong. I dislike the action he made. Shame on him for it, BUT I don't hate the man. An eye for an eye... (you know the rest) :( The police report has been filed. Chuck is alright... he has a cut in his mouth, a small one on his check and a couple bruises. Chuck ran after the man and apparently they brawled for a bit. :( We're in a web of karma. Karma - Chuck, the man and I witnessed than today and will continue to. Web - We're all in this together. We can hate each other silly and hope the other will fall. The only problem with this perspective, as I see it, is that as one falls, the web is pulled down. This I believe is true above any statement I can share, from my heart: The betterment of humanity, the expansion of love and acceptance, cannot occur unless individuals begin to make it their all. May we be beacons in the storm. May our light shine from a place we see in our hearts into the place that we are. To whatever comes our way, may we stay strong. Hold the vision! Through Love and Truth, hold the vision. O! |
