Quote of the Day:
"Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, Taoists, Zen Buddhists, Tantric meditators, and mystics everywhere do not think of the Dreaming world as an 'un'-conscious. For these peoples, the sentient Dreaming world is the basic reality. Though marginalized and invisible to mainstream cultures today, Dreamtime has been the essential reality for people from the beginning of time."

...I forgot how I got here but everyone seems to be heading off in that direction. I hope someone brought food. I have a feeling this is going to be a long journey................

The calendar was close but not spot on. A world ended on 9 - 11 - 2001. That was such a shock to global consciousness that it ended the interior world of many people. It was a global revolution from which we are just now emerging into gnosis. We understand the age old mechanics of social control and how we have been manipulated by fear. Climbing out from under that is a big, big deal.

Yes. I'm in agreement with that.
Maybe in that sense another world will end on Dec. 21st. But we'll only make sense of that in retrospect.

I am heavily engaged in making and spreading orgonite which has effloresced as a coordinated movement of orgonite "gifters" in recent years. The coincidence of that with a purported earth "shift" spiritually is not to me a "mere" coincidence. Orgonite type energies are revolutionary. A world has been beginning anew lately because of things like orgonite. It is beautiful to see it happening, and the timing is very auspicious.

I want to point out something that occurred to me about the quote.
Think of the Dreamtime as the body of a "drum" and with reality as the skin of the drum.
- It takes the skin stretched tight to have a sound.
- It takes the body of the drum to shape the sound.
One without the other will not sound as rich.
- It takes someone drumming the skin to make the sound, and to hear it.
You have to have the Dreamer, and Reality stretched tight, to fill the Dreamtime with the Dream. Plus, there are many drums and many Dreamers.

Yuppers,
in this 'modern age', we separate ourselves into us (and that which acts, self, consciousness is contained only in us) and a dead & nonconscious reality, when, before, there wasn't that distinction, the difference between 'me' and 'outside' being trivial...

The more I let the metaphor sink in, the more I can see:
That's why reality is rigid, absolute, until it's not. That's why there are built in limits, structures, governors, censors, to keep reality hard, until it's not. Then it changes all at once, or slowly, or chaotically, into a new hard, absolute, reality. Those people who are still "dancing to a different drummer" are out of step with the new reality.
The thing is, that you can have many drums intermeshed with different people dancing to different drummers, who see the "Other" in their neighbors. Each side thinks that the "Other" is the one that moves out of step. HA!
