I'm not sure which saddens me more.... some of the postings which are being passed off as anything worth reading, or that people believe what they are reading.
Wake up people. You are so far from yourself - like a bear is to a city. Fantastical stories and obsessive theorizing are wasting your time. Go walk in the woods and listen to the web of life and your Ancestors speak.
Decide what you stand for, and live it actively. Be the change you wish to see in the world.
We are all connected,

I'll bet those Paleolithic pyramids in Bosnia kinda pop your paradigm.

Re: Loads of Crap
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 10:41 AMHoopes: Those Pyramids are amazing!!..... om my Goddess..... just like the ruins recently found in Brazil. What a beautiful incredible Universe we live in.... which so does ignite the deep crystaline ocean in my blue blood....
Naomi: May you have peace in your 'eye' and love in your heart, allowing those magical waves (peace & love) to move you to Understand even greater the mysteries of the Heavens found encoded deeply in the ancient stone wonders of this Earth. May you blessed with tender dreams and loving touch.
Peace in our dreaming.... -

Re: Loads of Crap
Thu, May 18, 2006 - 5:46 PMNaomi, how would you know what is worth reading and what not? Who are you to judge what is true or not?
As you say we are ALL connceted and everthing is connected to 2012, be it 9/11, the movies, Dis-Inormation or Truth.....it's all part of it and everyone has a different perception , a different role to play with different talents, weaknesses and strengths........yes we are connected but we're not all the same, having the same perception as you.
What you think to be irreleveant may be an important trigger for someone else. What you think is important may be quite relevant for you , but maybe not for me or others. everyone is on a different path.
"Wake up people. You are so far from yourself - like a bear is to a city"
You sound like a Mrs. "Know-it-all"
Do what you think is right to do for yourself but don't project your beliefs and ideas about what should be done onto others.
Maybe you should listen to yourself, take a walk in the woods and contemplate on your own belief system and judgments about others.
There is no such thing as "wasting time"........time doesn't really exist, you know? The present, past and future all happen simultaniously. Linear time is the biggest illusion ever sold to humanm kind. How can one possibly waste time?...that's such a modern western world term in regards to being "unproductive" in a world that is pushing for constant productivity.
Relax. It's all part of the plan.
peace.

Re: Loads of Crap
Thu, May 18, 2006 - 6:07 PMYeah, Bernard... agree with you on some levels... but she does have a valid point, which I see as: a lot of people tend to become content with talking (or writing, or typing) about change, rather than living the change ('walking their talk' so to speak)... I know at least one person here who is quite guilty of that...

Re: Loads of Crap
Thu, May 18, 2006 - 8:23 PMwell, i've seen enough of Naomi's pattern by now to take a different spin on her presentation.
She's playing a role...she's not actually going to respond directly to any dialogue invites
she lands the bomb and never comes back to it...I suspect she stays completely away from the threads she starts in this bombastic, confrontational manner, probably doesn't read the responses so as to not get triggered emtionally or to take responsibility for what she stirs...they are more emotional releases serving her own venting needs than they are actual invitations to dialogue with any other individuated self
so why get hooked into it and respond as if she were not depersonified in the equation? she is...it's easy to throw firecrackers over the fence and duck down taking refuge...
if it were not so unconscious we might be able to grant her the title of psychopomp; but since I do believe that this is willful rather than volitional, at best I could grant her the title of troll...on a better day; provocateur
new buyer beware; old trick at hand -

Re: Loads of Crap
Thu, May 18, 2006 - 8:39 PMSome of us listen to ancestors but dont hear anything. Interpret that how you will.
I actually unjoined this tribe earlier today as everytime I see activity I am never really too interested in the new posts. I've felt this way for quite some time. I was watching this movie though and remembered I had posted the thread about it on here and it made me rejoin just so I could post about it again. lol Maybe Naomi is just looking for more of what she sees as quality posts. Things that mean something to her. Things that make her feel. Subjects that inspire awe & intrigue. I know I am always looking for something bigger & better. I catch myself alot of times backing off from responding or posting because I think to myself about what I'm doing and sometimes it just seems pointless, petty & trivial. Ultimately I think we are all hungry for meaning & purpose in our lives. What is frustration? What is dissatisfaction? Let us not overlook the obvious!

How About Another
Fri, May 19, 2006 - 6:03 AMOh, yes, you are right - I am antagonizing.
You see, the ones who are in touch with themselves will see the truth I'm speaking. They also see some of the fantastical bullshit that passes for 'real' information. I'm sure they are shaking their heads at it, same as I.
If you know who you are and what you stand for, then you will also understand my bear to a city comment. If you do not know yourself, then you will feel threatened by what I wrote, and you will respond by defending your position. Being rooted brings peace - there is no need to defend, or attack.
What I do in my life - my record - is solid. I don't have to defend it to anyone, and I simply am who I am. Great Spirit willing, I will keep on doing what needs to be done.
My comment about obsessive theorizing wasting your time is truth. Do you really believe sages, medicine people, and others who are truly connected are hunched over the computer looking for the latest half-truth speculative story to confirm the wisdom they hold? The answer is, of course, no.
My comment about walking in the woods to listen to the web of life and your Ancestors is a valuable piece of advice. You can choose to take it or not.
Be the change you wish to see in the world. If I am doing what I am telling you to do - which I am - then maybe you might wonder why I am being an antagonist? This is because change does not occur without creative tension. I see alot of tension on this thread. I can imagine there are people who haven't posted who read this and said to themselves, "yeah, this is a big waste of time. the truth isn't on the computer, its in our own experiential relationship with the Great Spirit and all life."
Do with as you will. But stand up for something and make the world a better place.

Re: How About Another
Fri, May 19, 2006 - 6:47 AMI don't know anything about any "Great Spirit" & don't really give a damn about it. I tend to think most people, including myself are full of shit. Naomi is just another person as far as I'm concerned. I don't consider using a computer a waste of time & I find lots of truth this way. Naomi says it's our experiential relationship with the Great Spirit & all life. I see the computer and the REAL PEOPLE that use them to be included in "all life". There is plenty of truth to be found online. Especially on tribe. That's why I enjoy this site so much. If some of us come off as self righteous pompous know it alls is truly insignificunt. Most people who are jerks don't see themselves as other people do. They are so "solid" in their rightness of how they see themselves it is virtually impossible for them to even consider how they come off to others. Forget about first impressions. Once you get past the first one people will continue to show their true colors to the world whether they realize it or not. All depends on your perception of conscience. I am wondering why if "crouching over a computer" is such a waste of time & if there is no truth to be gained from it and all that then why are you here Naomi? Did your Great Spirit tell you that your post here was going to change all that somehow? Just another example of the typical idiotic hypocrisy that permeates society in general. Yet another example of "I'm better than you & telling you I think so makes me feel better about myself because I am truly a loser at heart!"

Very well said!
It's called spiritual materialism.
All right Naomi, you think you're better than most peeps on this tribe. What a great foundation for "being the change you want to see".
You are quite short sighted and naive, people like you who call themselves spiritual and all-knowing are the problem and you don't even see it, not much differnce to fundamental Chrsitians, attitude-wise..........you have so much ego invested into your spirituality, the only remedy I see you for you is to walk into the woods and eat about 5g of psilocybin mushrooms...actually looking at the power of your arrogant ego, 7g would suit you better, hopefully destroying your ego in a million pieces as you realize your own stupidity, arrogance and blindess. You are as far from "being enlightened" or any form of true spiritual insight like a bear is to the city.
Anyway, why are you "wasting" your time here on the forum? Would you like to save us and show us the way or/and do you just want to promote your web site?

We are one being and it is all one process
Fri, May 19, 2006 - 8:21 AMDo you think that the Ancestors and the spirits of Place are not involved in this awakening, Naomi? Do you feel that there is a contradiction between the "Shift" that people are talking about and the re-awakening of the Ancestral voices? Do you feel that a choice must be made because in linear time the Ancestors appear to be in one direction (the Past) and the dimensional shift people are talking about appears to be in the opposite direction (the Future) so whichever you embrace means abandoning the other?
It's all part of one process, we all have our parts to play, and there is no competition among the different roles. There is no need to view things adversarially. We are one Being in a process of re-awakening, and that process expresses itself differently through different people. You seem to see a competition among the different ways that people are manifesting our species' struggle to re-awaken itself, Naomi, but if you saw our species as one, you would see that it is a single process and there is no division.
Our species has branched itself out to take many different journeys of discovery, branched into various lines of history and individuated soul paths, innumerable paths through which as a species we could learn, experiment, experience, explore, screw up, transcend, try to figure things out, ... and eventually bring back all that we have learned, all the pain that we have learned from, recognizing that we are one being, and all the experience that our species has ever had, through individuals and through peoples, is all part of the experience of one being, the Human Species, which in turn is an expression of One Being.
Things are coming full circle. The Ancestral Ways will not be the same as they were in the old days, because so much has been learned. Look at how consciousness is being developed about the meaning of being indigenous, through thefact that indigenous consciousness has been lost and must be re-discovered. No one ever thought to try to define "indigenous consciousness" in the old days when it was just the normal universal state of consciousness. Now, though, there is an awareness of what indigenous values are because people have worked hard to try to articulate them. There is a RECOGNITION of the common values and common identity today that could never have existed when people didn't know they were "indigenous."
Like everything else, the Ancestors are in a process of Transformation. Their process is connected to ours, through those of us who are living. As we, the presesntly living, break barriers, transcend divisions, and connect across cultural lines, the Ancestors also are able to cross barriers and connect.. The Ancestors through their descendants are creating new relationships with the spirits of Place where their descendants live. The wisdom of the different various Ancestors is more and more becoming a common pool of wisdom, because our species is waking up again to the fact that it is one being.
Nothing has been lost. The "end of time" coming up, I sense, means that linear time is coming to an end. Not abruptly, just slowly becoming irrelevant and atrophying. We are moving into a new form of existence which is not bound by linear time, in which we recognize that "Past," "Present" and "Future" exist at once, and everything that has ever been thought, felt, or experienced by any human individual at any time is part of the total experience of the species-spirit. There will no longer be the separation of "Past," "Present," and "Future" that seem to keep the Ancestors separated from everything else.
We are bringing it all together now. If you know how to learn directly from the woods, you don't stop doing that because you also use the internet; the internet was manifested at this time as part of our pricess of reawakening. . -

Re: How About Another
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 9:05 AMNaomi: Perhaps your accusations are "loads of Crap".
"Oh, yes, you are right - I am antagonizing."
Are you happy about this?
"You see, the ones who are in touch with themselves will see the truth I'm speaking. They also see some of the fantastical bullshit that passes for 'real' information. I'm sure they are shaking their heads at it, same as I."
Explain what "fantastical bullshit" you are talking about. Most of us are shaking our heads at YOU. :-)
"If you know who you are and what you stand for, then you will also understand my bear to a city comment. If you do not know yourself, then you will feel threatened by what I wrote, and you will respond by defending your position. Being rooted brings peace - there is no need to defend, or attack."
Naomi, you just "attacked" a whole lotta people on Tribe here. Do you know yourself? If you are so rooted, then why don't you offer peaceful criticism instead of outright accusations? I am sure we all understand the "bear story", duh....did you understand Star in her own analogy?
"What I do in my life - my record - is solid. I don't have to defend it to anyone, and I simply am who I am. Great Spirit willing, I will keep on doing what needs to be done."
You are not solid. By the very need to justify your solidity makes you pretty transparent. Why did you feel the need to defend your perspectives here? Is there something that bothers you about 2012? Besides there is nothing really "solid" in this entire Universe.
"My comment about obsessive theorizing wasting your time is truth. Do you really believe sages, medicine people, and others who are truly connected are hunched over the computer looking for the latest half-truth speculative story to confirm the wisdom they hold? The answer is, of course, no."
Haha Naomi, who's Truth? Your own? Of course some sages and mystics are typing the wisdom for others to be inspired. Some Medicine people are very thorough, and I know of one particlular Medicine Man who is highly advanced spending his time doing many things, learning many ways, who walks often in the forest..... and who aslo transmits his messages thru the computer world because he says that "many people live their lives here, so why not meet them where they stand". He is a humble and beautiful soul who hardly judges anything, for he says that in order to become all knowing and wise, you must walk many paths and show respect to all ways.
"My comment about walking in the woods to listen to the web of life and your Ancestors is a valuable piece of advice. You can choose to take it or not."
It is. You should follow this yourself. You are one who mentally sits by your own computor thinking you are clever in your mind by using 'words' to justify your accusations. You do not walk your talk. If you did, you would be understanding and more open....
"Be the change you wish to see in the world. If I am doing what I am telling you to do - which I am - then maybe you might wonder why I am being an antagonist? This is because change does not occur without creative tension. I see alot of tension on this thread. I can imagine there are people who haven't posted who read this and said to themselves, "yeah, this is a big waste of time. the truth isn't on the computer, its in our own experiential relationship with the Great Spirit and all life."
If you truly wish for peace, than be that change Naomi. (again shaking my head smiling) You sure must have spent hourst of your Time buidling that web site of yours eh? Editing for days. Lots of hours on the computer....lots of hours reading and plugging posts of your own around Tribe. You are not doing what you preach if it has anything to do with Peace: you are attacking in an agressive manner. Are you not "humle" enough to admit your downfall, or say sorry to the people you obviously have caused unrest with? Where is your peaceful heart? The greatest effects that have ever happened to mankind are from those who changed the world thru peaceful means and by example. Do you think you are the One? Wars may create change NAomi, but it doesn't have to be that way.... peace and love will always be the Victor and create the greatest outcome.
"Do with as you will. But stand up for something and make the world a better place. "
Are you saying that most of us here are NOT standing up for something and making the world a better place to live? (shaking my head and laughing) You do not know alot of us here. I am sorry that this tribe ruffles your feathers and attacks your belief system..... maybe you should look at your own disfunctions and try to understand openly why you are so bothered by Cosmic Knowlege.
Do you know that perhaps you are seeing things with a limited 'eye? There is more to life than just what you see Naomi.... if you had the 'vision' to look beyond your own skin you would see a micro-cosmic world of beautiful geometric formations functioning in a Harmonic order so intrinsic to our Nature, to "life", that unless you are a highly trained adept with ancient Earthly and comsic Knowledge, you have really no right to judge what you do not know. If you could look beyond your clouded vision of this Earth, you would see a macro-cosmic understanding of the Templates and Cycles of Time swirling in the same nebulous Order as in your own blood. There are galactic cycles and seasons just as there are yearly cycles and seasons. With this knowledge comes the Higher levels understanding of Life; understand that we are not alone in this Universe. There are Highly evolved beings (Star People, Kachina, Winged Ones etc....) who have visited this planet sharing the Universal Keys with mankind on Earth for eons instilling with them certain codes and higher knowlege, and who has and will from time to time come and help us to assist us in our growth. Just as a mother has to let go and allow her own Childern to experience and grow for them selves, so it is that we are being guided.
For sure there are false truths and fantastical waves of disinformation being spread all over and often times this thwarts many poeple from truly understanding the Quantum Galactic nature of who we are, but not all of the wisdoom and knowledge concerning great changes to come and galactic hierachy is "crap". Its ok Naomi.... let people be who they are and allow them to come to knowledge and wisdom in whatever way they want.
Focus on your own crap.
When you have walked all the ways of wisdom, when you have studied all the science of life, when you you have embraced all religions, when you have cleased your body inside and out, when you have washed your mind clear of judgement.... then your words will perhaps have weight in your judgements. And even then , it will not be "judgments" anymore I assure you.... just waves of understanding and discernment.
Until then, know that many of us are shaking our heads at you, but blessing that you come to know.
This is not just One Earth, but One Universe.
On Earth there are many walks of life, so it is in this vast Universe.
We really are not alone.
As above so below.

Re: Loads of Crap
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 7:07 AMNaomi is right and speaks the truth, but we as a collective have become brainwashed to such an extent that we have no idea what the truth is so we tend to believe the outlandish bullshit and only become more confused. As a result, the truth of us falls farther from our grasp and those who mean to keep us confused smile in the shadows because their goal of dumming us down is clearly working.
Take a walk in the woods and see the truth within your own soul.
Take Naomi's advise, because she is no longer in the fog of lies that the rest of you exist in.
If it confuses you within the first few seconds and makes money doing it, it isn't the truth!!!!!

Sat, May 20, 2006 - 8:39 AMya know... i really don't like waisting time on this tribe or any other tribe feeding trolls like this... so i usually don't have much to say other than my previously direct responses... and so to that end i'm going to borrow from another post on an another tribe that fits perfectly here.
from Bruce on the Tantra tribe;
>>>"Dear Friends,
Me thinkest a large ego-trap hidden under the term "discussion" but whose real name is "conflict" has been sprung.
It seems a few individuals have the tendency to sponsor conflict instead of discussion, negative criticism instead of supportive sharing.
When discussion turns personal then you know you've been caught by the ego-conflict trap. Sharing viewpoints and ideas is one thing, claiming that either you are right or someone else is wrong based on you're viewpoint of existence (indicating that others need to change their viewpoint to harmonize with yours) accomplishes nothing but the setting of an ego-trap.
If someone you don't share a viewpoint with doesn't see your side of the issue and isn't "enlightened" to your view by hearing/reading your assertions -then no verbal-literary-intellectual-emotional strong-arming will reason or coerce the other person into doing so.
Have the grace to agree to disagree with those who have a different viewpoint from yours and focus on your own degree of integrity or authenticity.
Life is about change and the ability to gracefully transition through change. Whatever you've learned to do-think-say that helps you do this is wonderful and a miracle -for YOU. Share it with others to be inspired by, but don't impose your way of thinking on others or indicate that they are somehow wrong or less-than for not sharing your thoughts.
One last thought:
When someone says or does something that pushes your button on a certain issue, then that's most likely one of YOUR issues you need to look at. So if you find yourself criticizing someone else's behavior or pontifications because they really ticked-you-off, then stop and look at that issue and see how you participate with it on some level. Then your personal growth can happen.
If you find that you are often in the middle of controversy whereby what you've said or written has provoked others to respond with criticism or expressions of caution and concern over your words, then stop and think about what you're apparently creating or contributing to. Why all the conflict around what you say and do? Are you truly revolutionary/evolutionary or are you just stirring up sh*t for the sake of stirring it up?
Peace and Love, " -

Re: Loads of Crap
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 10:47 AMGood points or not...
advice is useless as it is never taken and it eliminates leading by example.
Advice is also an aggressive act as it directs the actions of another or shames the non-response.
Most of all, advice shows that the speaker has enough knowlegde to identify what most needs to be done and still lacks the awareness to take the action themselves. Hence the need to tell others.
When the true path of self is found and taken strangers and friends alike will make comments about wanting to emmulating you or be like you. -

Re: Loads of Crap
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 4:44 PMI think advice is a good thing. It depends how it's presented. Pretty simple. I know for certain I have been given lots of good advice from all different types of people young & old. For me, to say that advice isn't a good thing is absurd. -

Re: Loads of Crap
Sat, May 20, 2006 - 4:49 PMUsually when I read books or come on tribe I am most interested in learning new things to make my own life and the world if possible a better place. Whatever that may be is similar to advice. If you think advice is a bad thing then why read a book? Why watch or do anything? We are just supposed to know we are perfect and let everyone learn how to live by our righteous example? lol If everyone thought that way there would be no reason to socialize whatsoever. Everyone could just sit in the corner and stare at the wall. That sounds like fun! : ) -

Like there are these str8 men at work that are oblivious to looking good. They are very hum drum & walk around in a bad mood alot. I am constantly telling them things like "You should get a buzz cut. It would make you look sooo HOT!!!" They say "Like you?" I say "Exactly!" lol I tell them "Youre are lookin so good today. DAMN!!!" or "What is that cologne youre wearing? It's making me want to attack you. You better leave now before I lose control!" It's funny how str8 men love an ego boost when a gay guy tells them theyre good lookin. I love those guys. -

Re: Loads of Crap
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 12:22 AMI refuse to listen to anyone regarding spiritual info that lacks any sense of humility and refuses to humble themselves, by claiming that you know the "right" way you are walking over that line. Anybody that is so full of themselves that they lack true compassion, and are quick to judge are not worth the time of day. Let them be "right" and totally alone in their self-righteousness, maybe they will figure it out. That self-righteousness does not feed your soul, but to live in the presence of LOVE is what we all really seek, True heart-opening loving reality based in faith. I honor my ancestors, I am a Celtic warrior, I was born into that role b/c of my clan. I spend all sorts of time in the Great North Woods region, I have come eye to eye with the Catamount....... I still do not know everything and I send you all my love.... -

Re: Loads of Crap
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 6:16 AMThis is because change does not occur without creative tension. I see alot of tension on this thread. <-------Naomis words from earlier. A[[arently she thinks she creating something good. She didnt create any creative tension & I personally don't see any on this thread at all. I see someone who is full of themselves as well as full of shit saying something stupid & other people responding. I dont see that as negative or unenlightened in any way either. It's just the way it is. When you say something stupid and are self righteous & ignorant but think really highly of yourself & think others are stupid and need to grow up spiritually to be on the higher plateau that you yourself are supposedly on I think that is the perfect time to tell someone they are full of shit. If a whole group of people are all responding the same way I personally would take an honest look in the mirror & contemplate it all. If she seriously thinks we are all wrong & she's right then she is truly lost. Funny how she hasnt chimed in anymore with further rediculous bullshit. Either she still feels the same way or maybe she has actually contemplated it which I doubt. It's rare that someone with that mindset ever changes. They just keep telling everyone they are the opposite of reality (bitter, obsessed, controlling, etc.) till the day they die and noone gives a damn or remembers anything except some insignificant meaningless troll that used to haunt tribe and "create creative tension" lol to somehow better the world and make everyone see they are stupid and want to be a incredibly amazing as herself. All of our lives will eventually have about as much meaning as the ripple on the water after youve thrown a rock into the waves. It's all gonna wash away into nothing. I think our feeble attempts at ignoring this & pretending it's not true are what cause tension. If our ego is corrupt we try to impose things on others because we ourselves arent truly in the right place. I think this is more why people respond the way we have. When someone makes a statement that is so obviously not the case, so blatantly wrong, most peoples first response is to respond to that with disagreement. Not responding at all is also an option. Silence works wonders for me with people that irritate me. I just kind of right them off and don't pay any attention to them at all. This isnt really the best thing either if we want consider ourselves loving enlightened people. It's actually more compassionate then to tell someone nicely that they are full of it. It's out of love when people tell you to go fuck yourself. What that says to me is "Please reconsider your ignorant mindset & lets see eye to eye on this and if not then truly go fuck yourself". I prefer to agree to disagree. Some people I love hold some pretty fucked up views & predjudices. I'm not going to stop loving them because I think so. Agreeing to disagree is what I practice. If I love someone I will still tell them I think theyre wrong and full of shit. But if I love them, no "issue" big or small is going to extinguish that love. Some people cut people out of their lives & never talk to them again because of disagreements. I think if that is how you operate you will just have to keep cutting till eventually you truly will die alone with nothing & noone. -

Already there are negative stirrings, just in those 3 words. It reflects her intentionality.

Re: Loads of Crap
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 9:11 AMMany people speak Truth Donna. You can find truth in all things once the layers have been filtered.
Naomi is wanting to cause unrest. This is a lower form of Truth. It is not really peacful, hence not fully harmonic or aligned for peaceful understanding and change. There are other ways more creative to create change that will last and effect people to reach out thru love, rather than war.
Her words will be forgotten, but the words of the True Peaceful warrior will always be remembered and the waves will be felt forever. Know this.

Re: Loads of Crap
Thu, May 25, 2006 - 6:00 PMNaomi, to me it seems that you are trying to segregate various world views and cultural traditions. I think that is part of the problem we have today in a world full of hate and prejudice. All the ancient paths are coming together as one, yet you continually say that we should try to learn more about *our own* cultural tradition and leave behind the mayan insights. It seems that you are trying to create boundaries. We all live life the way we want and if you don't want to take part in an indigenous sweat lodge because it's not "your people"...then so be it. But don't expect everyone else to follow a similar path.
I, for one, like to find the bridges and connections between the ancient wisdom of all cultures and beings. And I think 2012 is one of the best bridges out there! Did you know that on the winter solstice of 2012 ....the earth's ecliptic plane will line up with the solstice sun and the center of our milky way galaxy? The mayan calendar is based on the precession of the equinoxes, or the movements of the planets and galaxy in relation to the earth. Every year we have seasons, well try to think of those seasons on a greater scale say over a period of 52,000 years or so. That is what the mayans did through generations of studious observation of the skies, stars, and planets. This is about the universe, not just the Mayans.
Physically, all the matter in your body and on our earth came from the center of the milky way galaxy. The dark rift. The womb of the cosmos, as some might call it. And we will be lining up with it directly on the winter solstice of 2012! Yes, that is why the Mayans found this to be such an important date. We will be returning to the source of things, in a way. Literally and metaphysically speaking.

i think that it is important to remember that everyone has their own path, and what you need and what others need to fulfill their lives varies, i think it is important to celebrate those differences, i know for myself it has been really difficult to stop judging everyone and everything, but it is an important lesson.. to let go of ones ego and judgements. humility is one of the most powerful tools.

TROLL
Sun, May 21, 2006 - 12:37 PMSo you like to be Antagonizing hey Naomi?
Hmmmmm....well you fit right in to this definition of TROLL:
In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude or offensive messages designed to intentionally annoy and antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion as their only purpose.
For many people, the characterising feature of trolling is the perception of intent to disrupt a community in some way. Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet culture: "Do not feed the trolls." -

Re: Love
Tue, May 23, 2006 - 5:54 AMUltimately it's not all about Naomi. There are alot of dynamics to all the responses Theo. There are many different reasons people post. Different motivations. On one hand the initial post does matter but on another it's not the defining achetype of all the responses. Responses can be to other responses. Response can be a way to blow off steam or vent. Response is an opportunity for each individual to say whatever they want. The fact that Naomis' initial post started the thread is inconsequential. I'm sure she probably takes pride in so many responses & thinks she got what she wants. That whole "creative tension" line of bs is I'm sure "solidly" fullfilled in her mind. I don't think it always matters where a thread starts. Sometimes I've seen really important & interesting original posts virtually ignored while something that starts out with someone saying "I like rice." turning into a 900 response thread. I personally don't put too much stock in the number of responses to any thread. On the dmt tribe I started a thread with an opinion that I think the tribes name should be DMT instead of lower case. There have been many posts on that thread and ultimately the original post is not like some grand and holy word of god that enables the rest of it. (Rolls eyes & spits loogey on ceiling.) lol j/k

Think About It
Tue, May 23, 2006 - 10:39 AMHmmm....
This has been a splendid thread. And I don't mean all the harshness... but instead the reactions. Thank you.
I hope some of you will go back through and reread all the negative posts, and then think about them. It's really an education.
I'de like to offer a few things...
First, we live in a time when we need both healers AND warriors. The reactions to this post are very... western. That's not unexpected since most of the people on here are of Euro-descent, and most everyone regardless of heritage has probably grown up in a modern western context. This perspective is unfortunately, very limiting.
The reactions are also very new agey - and I'll explain this by also saying "morally relative". New Age spirituality used to justify virtually ANY belief as simply another truth of the Great Spirit or the Great Mystery is not beneficial to our growth. Here's why... some of these beliefs take us away from the truth. You may not like to hear that, but they do - they distance us from authentic connection, not bring us closer. Whether this applies to you is the long path that you must walk yourself.
I posted my original message because I saw alot of these really fantastical mythologies being digested and re-digested - fact and fiction - everyone looking for some insight into 2012 (which itself is an overemphasis on another culture's beliefs) and using that over-intellectualization to substitue for authentic connection and knowledge. Is this really healthy?
And so its natural to ask, why aren't you expending the same energy to digest world events relative to 2006 - the end of several indigenous calendar systems? Why do you give the Mayan calendar more attention? More importantly, are you expending the same energy to find an authentic connection, or are you content to let another's wisdom which emanates from *their connection*, substitue for you feeling connected?
I surmise it's because you have consumed the Mayan calendar via the internet, books, workshops, etc- eaten it whole despite the fact you are not Mayan, probably do not know any traditional Mayans in any real sense, and have virtually no knowledge of the Mayan culture aside from the materials you have consumed. Does this sound healthy and authentic to you, either in a good way to spend your time sense, or in a cultural respect sense?
So, because you don't have an authentic connection to Mayan culture, you end up looking anywhere for its justification and connection, despite the fact these things exist for you authentically in your own heritage and ancestry. But its far easier to consume someone else's mass-marketed culture or create a hodge-podge of cultural beliefs, than to spend the hard work finding your own people's living wisdom that still exists in the Earth and with your Ancestors.
Two days ago I was asked to participate in a sweat lodge on the reservation of a certain indian nation. As I've done in previous times, I politely declined. Why? Because while my European ancestors used sweats, I do not know that ceremony, nor do I know how a person of my gender and duty is supposed to participate. So instead of using someone else's ceremony, I stood with integrity and chose to honor my Ancestors and wait to be given our own ceremony. Before I use (consume) someone else's ceremony, I want to learn my own. The same with language - before I learn someone else's language, I want to start learning my own. Why? Integrity, pure and simple. And by the way, the European ancestors DID NOT speak english.
So maybe it makes quite alot of sense to spend the time to authentically discover your own people's Time of Change prophesy before you spend hours hashing and rehashing someone elses. Wouldn't you like to be able to say, "This is what my ancestors know about this time.....?" And if you don't know this wisdom, or can't find it in your own tribe - then maybe you should take the responsibility to work with your Ancestors to find it!
The second thing I'de like to touch on is the need for both warriors AND healers. Many of you are thrown off by my message, not because I am internet troll, but because I didn't approach you in a "nice" way. So despite the truths inherent in my original message, you rebelled because I was not nice and I did not placate your own beliefs. This again comes from a very modern, white, western way of doing business.
I'de like to offer another story. Newmont Mining Corporation recently tried to mine for gold on sacred Western Shoshone lands (www.wsdp.org/). The Newmont Corp. was able to buy off a couple of tribal leaders who said it was okay to mine the land. So, some traditionals called in warriors from various tribes. There was a standoff. Now, in the white western way of doing things, people would go around the table, and people would be nice and negotiate. After all, in western thinking, everyone's point of view has equal merit, right? So, you talk nicely, negotiate, compromise.
But the indigenous people who have seen every treaty every written violated, didn't want to be nice. In fact, they are tired of compromise. How much more land, health, spriituality, lives of their people should they compromise? So, one good friend of mine climbed upon a Newmont Corp. bulldozer and hotwired the engine, drove it to the edge of a hill and let it go to crash into Newmont's tool sheds and buildings. Newmont got the message. No compromise. Hey, a win for the indigenous people!
I tell this story because we live in a great time of change. You claim you know that. You consume the Mayan calendar, you follow the news, etc. But as things become harder, we will need not only healers of peace, but warrior healers too. When people have gotten so complacent that they stand by while our Earth is raped and abused, then its clear we need strong warriors who act, not talk.
And I ask you, what have YOU done to stop the rape of our Mother? Are you just talk? Just sitting behind a computer screen and speculating on a calendar that isn't even yours? Or do you take action? And if you think you take action - do you compromise? Or are you willing to lay it all on the line for your Mother and stand on your own integrity, even if it makes people uncomfortable and scared? Even if it makes you scared?
You see, I am willing to say things that challenge, to be an antagonist. Because I know, both spiritually and practically that the precise REASON we are in this Time of Change is because we have stopped being warrior healers defending our connection with all life, and most importantly with the Mother Earth herself. So you use your head to intellectualize my words and insult my intentions when you would benefit by using your hearts to FEEL and consider.
Finally, I'de like for you to reread my original message and this time imagine I was an indigenous elder. Imagine we were sitting around a fire, and I had just listened to you speak about the Mayan calendar and all these things which can be found on this particular tribe. And then I said those words to you. Would you react the same way? Would you call me names, and tell me to "fuck off?" Somehow I think not (unless you have no respect, or no good sense).
And the fact is I've heard a native elder of high regard use almost these exact words expressing frustration at white people's way of life and their continued inaction as Mother Earth is abused but will spend hours behind a computer or consuming another people's culture.
Which gets to the point I'll end on. Modern people, particularly white people, have stopped listening. They have stopped listening because they are in pain. They are so far from themselves, that they simple can't accept the great distance that lies between them and being connected to all life. It's simply too painful, too full of guilt and too shameful. And it should be all these things. But we must move beyond the guilt and shame to restore our place as the 'white' arrow of the four sacred directions. The world needs our tribe to be connected to the Earth, to our Ancestors, and to our heritage. We must heal that which we have destroyed.
It does us no good, no matter how well the intention, to dismiss ancient indigenous wisdom out of the belief that 2012 (or whatever other date you want to use) will somehow change the need for that wisdom. It won't. In fact, knowledge keepers tell us we need indigenous wisdom from all four directions, including our European Ancestors, to get through the Time of Change and move forward into what lies ahead. That's just the truth as I've heard it from many elders, including my own.
Modern people, especially white people, have become way too full of themselves. We've stopped listening. We condemn those who tell us things we don't want to hear, no matter how true. We dismiss those who challenge us, even when they say things we would benefit by taking to heart. How else can you explain it except that we have grown apart from ourselves - like a bear is to a city.
Many modern folks, especially people following New Age spiritual systems, have also lost the ability to ferret truth from fiction, wisdom from intellectualizing. This is not healthy. So when people challenge this, the rebuttal is," you can't possibly know the truth!" and "you have no more wisdom than I!"
Another short story... I was visiting a good-hearted native elder the other day. Before getting to know me, he approached me as if I were another white person searching for wisdom and guidance (as so many are today) from him. When I shared something contrary to his expectation, he got confused and even a little angry. Despite being polite and in a good way, I didn't respond to him the way most white people do. Why? Because I walk very closely with my European Ancestors and the Earth and I've tried to learn from them. It's what allows me to do the work I do and make the relationships I make. As I said, my record speaks for itself.
So maybe, I do listen. And maybe I do learn. Maybe I let the wisdom of the Ancestors flow through. Maybe I say things worth listening to, even if I say them in unexpected or challenging ways?
Makes no difference to me. I come in a good way, I leave in a good way. I still continue to do what I do.

Re: Think About It
Tue, May 23, 2006 - 11:33 AMGood points, Naomi - I think criticisms are good, and I look for the valid criticisms in your message and I reflect on them and I learn from them, though the conclusions I draw can be wounding to my ego - But criticisms can easily be interpreted or misinterpreted (depending on the way in which they are stated, as well as by the attitude of the one receiving, or rejecting, the criticisms) as judgments - I think the tone of your original post (and other posts of yours) does seem to be judgmental - Being a warrior is a legitimate role, but one would do well to treat one's allies more gently, and leave the antagonism for dealing with one's enemies (yes, New Agers, we DO have enemies) - One could justify using an antagonistic tone by viewing it as 'tough love', like the THWACK the Zen master gives his pupil, but we would all be better served if one offers criticisms in a tone that does not serve to perpetuate further polarization - Because your criticisms have indeed had a polarizing effect on those who they were presumably directed at - A lot of the responses (which were not really responses, but *reactions*) to your post seemed more intent on pointing out the presumed underlying motivations of your 'attack' (self-righteousness, and contempt for those who aren't on the same path as you, or aren't far enough along on whatever path they're travelling) than on considering the substance and truth of your criticisms - Because while it is not good to generalize, there IS indeed a great deal of uselessly fantastical and speculative nonsense bandied about here, and there ARE a number of us (I'm not the only one, am I?) who are spending more time and energy TALKING (i.e. writing) about change than on actually LIVING and ACTING on our principles, values, beliefs and ideas - So... umm, I guess that's all I have to say, for now...
Oh yeah, one other thing: 2012 does not necessarily or exclusively derive from the Mayan wisdom traditions (at least, I don't think it does) - As I see it, it's a much bigger meme that connects with a great many theories and notions: www.diagnosis2012.co.uk/1.htm
And finally, while your purist attitude to native wisdom traditions does have some validity to it (i.e. these traditions do get unnecessarily distorted and adulterated to their detriment by many New Age teachers), I would suggest that the process of *syncretism* ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syncretism ) does serve a valuable purpose, particularly in these times of an emerging global consciousness (the birthing of the noosphere, if you will)... -

Re: Think About It
Tue, May 23, 2006 - 12:32 PMOh yeah, and I *really like* and approve of what your friend did with the bulldozer - That's the kind of action that we need more of - I think I am like a lot of people, in that I tend toward passivity or inaction because it's so hard to think or feel or believe that anything we do will actually make an IMPACT - When activism means going to rallies & marches, writing letters, signing petitions, and all those things that seem to only make a minute amount of difference against corporate and governmental enemies who are so obstinate and unyielding (and our socalled representatives in an alleged democracy who are largely cowards and conciliators), people get overwhelmed by a sense of *futility* - I tell myself that I ought to act simply because it's the right thing to do, not because I expect it might make a serious degree of difference in the long run - I know, it's a lame excuse... even if we can only rescue one species from immediate extinction by beating our heads against a wall (while hundreds of other species disappear forever), we should tell ourselves it's worth the effort... It's a cyclical situation, though: I see so much apathy around me I think 'What difference is it gonna make if a handful of us try to bring down the beast when it's gonna take MILLIONS of us - At this stage I just feel: this whole system is wrong from the foundations of it, and just needs to come down to collapse and complete obliteration first, then out of the ashes, something true and beautiful will emerge - Hopefully, anyways - Meanwhile I just try to give consideration to making personal choices in my own habits and activities that reduce the negative impact my existence has on the Earth (I may spend too much time in front of this damned computer, but if everyone was as conscientious as I am, or try to be, regarding my consumer choices, it would make a significant difference)...

Re: Think About It
Tue, May 23, 2006 - 8:59 PMHi Naomi,
I do understand what you’re trying to say, and I know that its hard when you do not fully comprehend the immense scientific nature of the "2012" hype and information circulating around. Forgive me for what I am about to say, but I feel like responding to your recent post.
First off, it is kind of hard for me to imagine you as an Indigenous Elder. I tried but something inside me does not sit right with that. It does not feel true. Are you are asking us to just "imagine it"?
The "New Age" information you refer to is actually not "New" to this Earth. This is an Ancient knowledge being remembered again now, in this Time to re-member ourselves in the wisdom of our Galactic cycles and iginte this into our conscious field.
It is sp good that we are free to embrace and practice this knowledge again in light of the fact that we do not have witch hunters or the Inquisition around to squash us or kill us as we rebirth the deeper wisdom and profound Universal understanding we are being opened up to now. (Well, not as deeply enforced as before anyway…. Some of us are still being scoffed at, put into mental institutions for seeing “visions” and jailed for being a warrior for freedom….) but, still not as badly as before in the dark ages.
Truly we are being encoded by certain frequencies now (again) as we shift from our current position in the Galaxy deeper into Universal Domain we live in. Naomi, just because you cannot understand the mathematical and quantum wisdom of Earth Science it doesn't mean its wrong ok?
The ancient scriptures that were burned in Alexandria held countless volumes of alchemical and highly mathematical knowledge about our Earth in relation to this Universe. The alchemy and science was immense and written in volumes of scrolls and books. There were ancient mappings of our Universe encoded into stone, written in stone. Cleverly thru means of an ability to see into the future thru "visions" these ancient powerful beings who cared about the future of our Earth, with their loving heart and deep devotion to life, caring for mankind, recorded them in ways that we would now be fully evolved enough to start to understand and reignite into our mental field in a safe way to aid us. They foresaw the destruction of Alexandria, this continent, this world and foreseen a force so deeply engrained in the lower vibrations of hate and fear, that they knew enough to engrave certain codices for the future to discover and remember. Thru out history many horrible people persecuted and killed many thousands of beings who wanted to maintain and continue to live in "light and love" magically and ceremonially in harmony with the Nature, this beautiful Earth remembering the wisdom not only etched in stone, but thru word of mouth.
The knowledge that was found in the sacred Temples of certain Pyramidal structures on this planet is incredible, not to be taken lightly. This was/is a message to the whole Earth. Not just one culture. These beings were not so racially segregated. The books and tablets that were burned in Mexico at the bloody hands of the Inquisition were thousands, and they held certain Time codes of Astronomical data. The millions of Natives, Japanese and Blacks were unjustly killed too with most of their Ancient knowledge forgotten. But some were still passed on. My great grandmother told me many stories. She was a medicine woman and a ghost dancer. They had to hide and do their ceremonies in secret. But because of the beautiful foresight of certain powerful shamanic mystics, scribes, ancient alchemical priestesses and priests, the wisdom of the Universe is being remembered and reborn.
There is no disputing the ancient writings that were found, and still are being uncovered as you well know, which reveal ancient sites that point to a deep understanding of our Earth cycles, Equinoxes etc in relation to the solar cycles and galactic spin.
I do find in my feelings right now that you are limited in your understanding because this "New Age" knowledge challenges your own belief system and intelligence. That’s ok. I hear you. I hope you can hear mine. I was taught to be open to all ways. I pray you will be open too.
Your ancestors were European? Well heck, if you want to start talking "nationality" then, remember it was the Europeans who were the bloodiest and most antagonizing people of all this planet with their bloody rape, colonialism and dominating culture which brought their "New World" and conquests to most every indigenous culture on this Earth. Even to their own people. They burned many witches, who fled Europe to come here, on our soil.
There were a lot of beautiful people who came here from Europe to get away from the restricting dogmatic fear based culture that dominated Europe, but many of the Elite monsters followed them here in suit to take over this Western Hemisphere. This "Western Mentality" you speak of is an Eastern European rooted anomaly, which stems even further back to perhaps other worlds. And its true that there were very mean tribes of Indians who slaughtered other Tribes of peaceful Indians…. the cannibalistic tribes of the Africa were also pretty scary to the peaceful Tribes of other Africans. But western, eastern, northern and southern really makes no difference. We are all one. Its about collectively learning to “understand” that we are One.
Why should we start bringing up "races" though right? Sheesh….not really wise to do this.
The fact that certain codices and keys were unearthed recently in the 20th century and allowed to be studied by 'conscious' people other than the High and mighty religious dogmatic Church Fathers of yesterday (who really had no idea of who Jesus truly was) is a prophecy unfolding now. This “new age” wisdom is allowing to pave the way and bring into the "light" certain powerful Truths and knowledge’s long forgotten. These truths that are now being uncovered about the alchemical ancient practices and astronomy realized by sages, aboriginal shamans, mystics, goddesses, priestesses, priests and holy people have been labelled "New Age" by people who are raised thru the ignorance of a limited culture dominated by media and television. This "New Age" knowledge you brand some of us as being wrong about here is in fact just the old wisdom resurrected, and I thank Creator for that we can again speak and do freely as we chose here. (well for now anyway….somethings are gong to happen soon, to fulfill prophecy in order for Truth to be realized)
The unfortunate spin off on all this 2012 stuff is that there are definitely many who took, will take this spiritual wisdom of intelligent understanding and spin them into fantastical elaborations of their own fantasy calling "doomsday" misleading many people so much as to cause the “Truth” to stay hidden and scoffed at. Just like they did with Jesus.
Whether or not "2012" is the “actual date of year” for the Grand Shift (how can one trust a calendar based on the Papal Gregorian Order) is irrelevant. The fact is, we are nearing the end of a cycle and entering a Precessional wave and the whole of the Galaxy is shifting its season. There are signs in the Earth and the Stars that show this. It has been written of an emerging NEW AGE in many many cultures around the world. And it is in the NOW that we must always stay present and aware knowing the future.
If you really care to understand about ancient Indigenous Prophecy than study further its wisdom from all walks of life. Its not for us to judge those who are trying to understand the mathematics and spiritual science of "2012", the galactic shift, in a world where there is much disinformation. At least we are all seeking knowledge here. Its ok for people to theorize and seek Truth and learn from their mistakes or powerful discoveries. You are just as guilty living here in this "western world" Naomi with all of your ego and "your way is the only Truth' kind of attitude... you limit your own understanding.
Just because you are intimidated by some who see the mystical nature of prophecy thru the science of our astronomical Universe and relate it to the beauty of Spirituality does not mean it is wrong or crap. There is a huge precessional cycle taking place. There is an astrological shift taking place. Sure many cycles and calendars have come and gone in the last 25,000 years, but what’s happening now is on a grand scale, ending a grand cycle. Its not just a Mayan thing. Its a Dogon, Hopi, Cree, Chinese etc., Revelation for us in this time frame.
If it were not for the "new age" hippy culture in the 60's (in which I was born in) liberating us from a very religious and fear based KKK kind of domination (germinated from Europe) we would not be so free to understand that women have rights, blacks and Indians should be honoured, that we should listen to voices of the indigenous Tribes who lived in harmony with Earth, who knew the supremacy of Earths medicines and the power of Sky receiving visions thru Great Spirit. We now can eat the 'herbs" of the forest (without getting burned to a freakin stake). If it were not for the "new age” hippies standing up for the Indigenous cultures of this Earth we would not be so educated in how to take care of our precious Mother Earth in a whole ORGANIC fashion. Have you ever heard the song "Age of Aquarius"? It’s a beauty.
If it were not for people like Jose Arguelles decoding the Codices scribed into the lid of Pacal Votans sarcophagus we would not have been made aware of how LUDICROUS and really insane the Gregorian domination of the Papal insurgents really were. We would not have been made aware of how beautiful and HIGHLY ADVANCED that the Mayans, in their astronomical wisdom and insights were. The tireless work and labour of Jose and many others who understood the immense importance of bringing this wisdom to light, exposing our current "Gregorian Calendar" as being so disharmonic and based on a "monetary culture" whereby contributing to the destruction of our noosphere, is a profoundly prophetic occurrence in this Time. If it were not for Pacal Votan and his knowledge we would not realize the beauty of following a 13 Moon calendar based on the NATURAL cycles of Time in relation to our Earth, in alignment with the Star systems. We would not be drawn to understand the incredible structures of the Pyramidal Houses built on this planet aligning with certain constellations.
If it were not for the power of wisdom itself and the Truth itself being passed down from our ancient elders and medicine people being deeply embraced by the offspring of a white culture we may have completely destroyed this planet long ago.
It was a Hopi prophecy that "long haired WHITE people" would be the ones to come forward and remember the ancient ways. Its in the Cree prophecy too concerning the Rainbow Warriors. I read in a very old Hopi book one time that an elder had prophesized that near the end of the Fourth entering into the Fifth world many White people would be reborn as Native, and many Native peoples would be reborn as White to complete and fulfill a karmic cycle.
Naomi, and really, its NOT about skin color. To speak about “White people” can stir up lots of racial stuff. Its time for the hatred to stop. Most of us now a days are mixed blood. My ancestors are Indian, and European. There were/are many beautiful white people and cultures too. The most powerful sages and mystic have always seen this Earth as One earth and regarded all knowledge as sacred and that love and honor were the most sacred energies to embrace.
Its simple to understand the reactions of a lot of people here. Your judgement was very harsh and antagonizing, and you still do not have the humility to say sorry for stirring up some shit. Instead you mentally wrap your head around some answers yourself to justify your means, as you yourself sit behind a computer. We are all guilty here of sitting behind computers. Yea, so? It doesn’t mean we don’t activate in our own communities and in our personal living to help this Earth. I do not need to explain to you in detail all that I have personally done and do to help activate conscious change. Just know that I do. I wonder how harmful “guilt” is? Really…. Why inflict ourselves and one another to feel guilty? Guilt, hate, greed etc stops us from raising our vibration and blocks our receptor sites in our cells that swirl in our body like the solar systems swirl in space.
I do not want you to feel guilty. I am simply speaking my mind here because I am called to right now. Perhaps I am being defensive… but as you well know, it’s ok to allow the warrior to come to surface sometimes. ;-) It is “my feeling” that perhaps your closed mind may not be beneficial to your own deeper growth girl. To say no to an invitation to sweat with another culture seems kind of ego based and fearful. Why hurt yourself like that. What was the point? You do not need to be led by fear. What an honor to attend a sweat! You could have learned something there. Your search for knowledge will be limited so far as you limit yourself.
I tell you that no matter what you call the name of any "calendar" the fact is the Moon and the Earth cycles are there for us all to recognize and be aware of. We are One Earth, One people on a planet with One Moon and One Sun. The 13 Moon calendar is bringing light into this world by asking us to stop our need to destroy this beautiful planet for commerce. Lets stop the destruction of Mother Earth and "shit" by not ingesting false food and stop destroying ourselves. The wisdom of this New Age that you seem to be angered by was/is inspired by an ancient truths and revelation to help rekindle an old fire and bring us all into the remembrance to our divine nature and relationship to this Earth and the Galaxy she so harmoniously spins in. Forgive me if I repeat myself concerning this. Its in my blood.
When Pacal Votans lid was decoded and Jose realized the immense knowledge that the Ancient Mayan knew (the old civilization that vanished) about the 19 complex calendars, and our spin etc, some scientists and astronomers felt to verify this, being scientists of course. And they did. Most could not dispute the wisdom and were absolutely amazed by the astronomical ingenious of these Calendars few could even understand. It had to take the higher understanding of physics, science and astronomy to understand the sheer genius of these calendars and written cycles. They realized that the ancient Mayans were dead on right. So some of the scientists and professors wrote books compelled to inspire and explain the Understanding and emergent need for the world to ‘know”. Some calcualted the Time frame for this Grand cycle as being 2012, in alignment with the winter solctice. Thank God for this. Thru the eyes of astronomy, and our own intution reignited we know now how indeed we are physically shifting as a whole solar system within the greater cycle and season of this Galaxy.
It may be that you are very intimidated by science, but I assure you, that ALL science really is, is the study of God; Life: the Omni presence of a Great Spirit (the etheric wave force of Quantum light). With the understanding about our solar system, our cells, the creation of galaxies, and the fact that we are not fully solid but are incredibly beautiful designs of atomic photon "light" fields effected by the wave principles of "Light Force", allows many to come out of an atheist mind. It is now easier to share with those not so open to the paranormal and understand the amazing principles behind shamanism, mysticism and Spirit; to understand that its not just hooky ramblings of an insane mind or sorcery that one can truly shape shift, walk on water, and effect physical change just by the vibratory sound of prayer, chanting and powerful intonations: Invocations.
There are those of us who were taught, learned the wisdom thru our parents and believe thru our intution about the Nature of Spirit, but there are those who need proof and qualified existence of these things to understand. Understand all is good. Mathemtaics, Science, spiritualiy, knowledge....it is good to gain wisdom and Unite to whole. Becoming whole.... is holy.
I have owned a computer for 5 years now. I will not be here writing on this computer too much more though ….for my world is rapidly changing and shift is happening fast. Until then I will continue to post here and have fun, inspiring wisdom and also learning much too. For I have learned a lot thru this dang computer. But even more so, most of my learning has come from being in Nature and sitting deeply alone with myself and sharing with others in ceremony.
With all my heart I have loved this life, love nature and I have and will always seek to know the ways of Earth and Sky; to know the heavens; the Universe outside and within. I was raised by a mother who made magic a lot and did ceremony often instilling in me the deep art of dreaming, understanding of Spirit. She was very eccentric and against all things artificial, and at all times advocated love as the deepest force of all. She studies many religions and cultures and often times would speak tome of them. I will forever be open to learning and to humbly embrace Truth when she stands before me, enfolding me in her powerful arms, liquefying me as I taste her deep ocean.
Forgive me if I have offended you in anyway. Take care Naomi. Don’t take me too personally, as I do not take you personally. I am grateful to you for you have given me the opportunity to write my feelings inspired by spirit. There is a reason for this all.
Peace*
On that note, I will leave now to pray in my own silence and get away from this screen, water my garden and ready for work tomorrow. I know that I sometimes spend too much time on this computer, I am accountable, I am. It’s a luxury that we all have been drawn to from time to time. For me, I also like to make music with this computer (record my songs onto it). All my songs are about peace, revelation and spirit and even though I mainly am an acoustic musician with guitar/voice… I am lured by the technology of sound. I am a writer. I am a channel for this amazing force we call music. (sigh) I am so aware right now…. as I feel my eyes tired from this screen I agree that the computer world can be an addiction for sure taking us away from Nature….its very harmful to our electromagnetic frequency (to the natural bio-rhythm of our organic body) There are prophecies regarding the nature of this “beast”. But that is for another thread. ;-) -

Naomi, once again you return to restate more of your egocentric crap load. your little story about how you turned down an offer to participate/experience/share another's ceremony speaks loads about your own identification issues and insecurities regarding your gender and duty. thank you for shedding more Light on the role that seems to be playing you far more than you are playing it.
interestingly... while you post here about the big waste of time we all are spending on this tribe... i couldn't help but notice upon checking out your profile that of the 10 posts you have made in the last 5 weeks... 8 of them are on this tribe. seriously... turn that judgement off or at the very least... direct it at your little self. you will surely find a way to accomplish whatever it is you think you are trying to.

Didn't we break the silence
Didn't we fear the storm
Didn't we move the earth
Didn't we shoot for the sky
And didn't we catch the fire
And didn't we call upon the spirits
And didn't we fall together
And didn't we die for love
Days on the run, Nights in hiding
Hoping that you were, The healing inside me
Breathe in the sweet fire of love
I'm not afraid anymore
Sweet, sweet fire
I'm not alone
Breathe in the sweet fire of love
I'm not the same anymore
The sweet fire of love
Didn't we cross new waters
Didn't we mix new blood
Didn't we build brand new bridges
Didn't we hold back the flood
Broken idols by the side of the road
They didn't fall on the side of the law
Here she comes a-shining like a light
Here she comes salvation in the night
Days on the run
Nights in hiding
Hoping that you were

Breathe in the sweet fire of love

Didn't we bear the cross
Didn't we bring down the hammer
Didn't we beat on the drum

Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance
You can hear his music if you listen to the wind (blow)
I want to be there - I want to be right there
Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I've held the broken dream
In my soul, I'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
I had a revelation like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on Smokey Mountain
Playing guitar in a one man band
Bear witness, I'm howling at the moon
Come bear witness, I've danced among the ruins
In these shoes, I've walked a crooked mile
All my life I been searching for the nightbird
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose - but your chains
For forty days and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by mide side (rave on)
Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind

Re: Think About your little self
Wed, May 24, 2006 - 6:04 PMFrank I don't even have the desire to respond anymore. lol Just really don't care. When I yawn & roll my eyes to perpetual bs I move on to something else. Anytime someone thinks being antagonistic to people who are mostly on this tribe for similar reasons I don't like it. It's pretty simple. If I want to be antagonisitc I will try to attempt to come up with something as brilliant as those YES MEN guys and antagonize people that truly deserve to be antagonized. When someone takes this stance with people on this tribe then tries to talk her way out of looking like an idiot I don't see how my response could be anything besides stating this is how I feel and leaving it at that. If I'm wrong about something or full of shit and a whole group of people tell me so I would probably take a good look in the mirror & try to move on with some dignity & grace as opposed to blabbing on some rediculously long diatribe. Honestly I didnt even read it all. If what you say turns people off so they don't even care what you have to say anymore or whether you even exist & youre too blind to see it then all I have to say is good luck on your journey & WHATEVER!!! -

Re: the essence of being
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 2:49 PMwhat makes you think she isn't just a savant and we are all working together with her to prove her point. that is if her point is that a vast majority of us are sitting around on our computers gettin' egohigh on whatever floats our boat.
her choice of words and syntax lead many to react and respond cause that's what we do here on 'discussion' boards.
yeah true... what she says is really just a big 'so what'... but it is like walking into a 2012 convention and calling everyone's attention and saying 'i know some indigenous elders' and you are all full of crap and you should do what i do which is walk in the woods and connect with my ancestors.... when of course i'm not using this evil technology to chat you up and then harras you with condenscension.
i figure there might be a few folks in the crowd who might think or even mutter and possibly say out loud... "take you and your bear shit and fuck off" -

Re: And The Beat Goes ON.............
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 10:36 PMThere's a difference as far as I'm concerned between the one who initially ostracizes and those who respond. If someone says F you and I respond with a "NO! F you!!!" It's not the same at all. Seems pretty simple to me. Guess it depends on your perspective. -

Re: And The Beat Goes ON.............
Mon, May 29, 2006 - 11:50 PMtrue enough marvin... true enough.
tho sometimes it's like when dancing and trying to guess what comes first... the hip or the beat. -
-
Re: And The Beat Goes ON.............
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 12:43 AMand... in the case of dancing i've come to the conclusion after carefull study that it is sometimes the beat... and sometimes the hip which comes first. and in the blame game of who started what argument first i think it pretty much the same... sometimes the initiator and sometimes the responder.
which of course leads me to believe that not all variables are constant.

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 12:46 AMI think it's a good thing to have dissenting voices even if they sound harsh.
That way we get a chance to face ourselves responding to the sensitivity of our egos.
That way we get to question what we feel and believe.
and of course a diplomatic posting might not have raised those challenges.
Still the medicine isn't taken if it's coated in loads of crap.
so why take the bait? No problem if the attachment didn't disturb your own peace

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 5:56 AMDavi…
'not all variables are constant' - i think I missed the meaning of that statement. variables are not constant, they’re holes you plug 'ifs' into...so that lost me. I dont suppose someone wants to argue the statement of 'supply and demand' = which is a false concept. The same with graph where the idea is to allow variables to remain constant to project future event...I dare someone to show me 'future constants' in an economic market. Graphs are only relevant when compared to other graphs of lesser or greater variables. Tribe makes 'she said, he saids / I'm Right your Wrong’ a constant and not a variable...as evident by the young ladies reply below about 'same shit different year'.
Marv & Davi…
If I say 'fuck you' and you say, 'No Fuck you'....it is simple and it is the same. Show me where the directions and the intellect of those to statement change the outcome of the conversation or the events?! Unless your intent is to bicker aimlessly...which it is Tribe's frontier movement: bricking about nothing...all the while, trying to shut out everyone that does not agree with the bla bla
Let me ask, what contributions has Tribe.net made to the changing of the society we live in? They come they bitch they leave, new ones come they bitch they leave. Has there been formations or counsels formed towards changing this 'capitalistic conspiratorial elitist class society' Tribe is always posting about?
I cant say 'No' definitively...I have not read every post on tribe. But based on the 'constant variables' (lol) I notice and tested thru post...Tribes main goal is nullification.
Tribe lacks creative ideas and fights to like a zealot to keep it that way.
Oh…And please do say that Tribe is an information trading post where intellectual minds can come together and share ideas…I have a comment for that too
Cough, cough, bullshit!
I don’t think capable minds (lets say, Einstein and De Vinci) would compare their ideals in a fashion remotely similar to this string. But then again Einstein did create the nuke so perhaps that was his way of saying, ‘Im tired of the constant bullshit’. -

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 6:53 AMIf the only result of responding is to state your feeling that is enough for me. I'm never said saying "F you too" was gonna change the world.
But I have to disagree completely with the idea that Tribe hasnt changed the world. I know I personally have benefited and grown and learned alot of new things and met alot of nice people. If you don't think that is positive change in the world then I don't know what you would consider positive or change. Again, it's all about perspective I guess. If you have a pessemistic view you could feel the same way about everything. If someone was building a bridge, big or small (or pretty much doing anything) you could think it was a waste of time, etc......But if you are helping and interacting with everyone invloved and getting something out of those relationships and experiencing another day, the need for the bridge is irrelevant. Whoever the person that wants to build the bridge & is paying for it, it's that persons perogative. If you think it's so unneccessary & pointless why would you help work on it?
When I'm finding out all kinds of information & meeting new people & making new friends I don't think that's a waste of time at all. In fact, I'd say it's pretty damn amazing & for the record, I love tribe. That's why I keep coming back. What's your motivation for being on tribe Theo. To tell everyone they are wasting their time and that you think the sharing of ideas is bullshit? Wow! That's a pretty amazing contribution to changing what you view in such a poor light. You are the one that apparently has no reason for being here other than to tell everyone how lame tribe is and how stupid we all are for being here? lol WHATEVER MAN!!! -

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 8:30 AMgood show marvin, i agree with you. and in turn feel moved to quote the book im reading (again)
"Consciousness is driven by inertia and momentum. When you choose to think, feel or express emotion in a new way, to some degree every other person in our system benefits. Your choice anchors the new possibility, the vibration of that feeling, seeding that possibility into the grids of conciousness. Each time someone else opens up enough to recognize that they have a choice in how they respond to life, your choice of compassion assures that they have another possibility to select from. Your are one person from a population of approxiamately six and one half billion and still you have an effect!..Change in relatively few people has a tremendous effect upon the whole. To plant the seeds of change, those few must simply emobody the change. They must become the change in their bodies that they have consented to experienceing in their world."-Gregg Braden (Walking between the worlds-the science of compassion)
have a good one all
love and light

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 9:09 AMyeah... good response marvin!
theo... at the moment i've got only a few minutes before heading out to make some dollahs for a bunch of people who need them.
so with these few moments i'll say that until you at least make the effort to put some kind of avatar picture up and perhaps expand your network beyond 3 people and perhaps spend a little more time hunting down some posts that might matter to you... i'll hold my typing tongue.
cause... though there's a thread of truth in what you say... it's mostly the bullshit of a newbie that hasn't taken the time to socially network their software to work for him rather than expecting others to make it work for him.

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 9:48 AMdavi....
why - dave would you feel more comfortable attacking an image of me then the 'thread of truth'. A picture...wtf. Oh and lets not forget...I have to be popular now too...this is great. This is rich...
if I dont think like you, look like you, have as many friends as you...Im less then you...THAT IS TRIBE to the T. (ok maybe just 85% of Tribe post).
Im not here to look pretty, Im not here to make friends necessarily...
Im here to have my ideas attacked...Im here to test my firewall so to speak. Yes My ideas attacked...further I am here to attack ideas.
Unlike Naomi...I can defend myself with reason...and I can attack with reason too...
But then again if all you want to do is throw darts at my picture and run a popularity contest I can lay back and twist your heads a little.
I purpose a debate...on a topic of your choosing...
anything you and marvy can intelligently discuss without taking it personal. I will play protagonist or antagonist...whichever suits the two of you. Any grounded rules should be done on a collaborative bases - as I dont feel looks, popularity, swatters right should apply. And responses should be kept to 100 words or less (or 5 paragraphs)? yes no?
Challenge Set...Up for accepting?
Im sure you most have something up there mulling around besides your mullet.

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 6:56 PM>>>"why - dave would you feel more comfortable attacking an image of me then the 'thread of truth'."
no... i don't make it a habit of attacking the truth. i just enjoy conversing or debating with real people who are more than just some newbie who's still trying to figure out how to be social online... rather than someone who appears to get off on simply debating and playing "protagonist or antagonist...whichever"
>>>" I dont think like you, look like you, have as many friends as you...Im less then you...THAT IS TRIBE to the T."
i don't get it? are you making assumptions about me, about Tribe or are these your own assumptions about yourself?
>>>"Unlike Naomi...I can defend myself with reason...and I can attack with reason too... "
yeahwell... at this point your reason is pretty laughable.
>>>"i'm here to have my ideas attacked"
do you have an idea theo?
>>>" I purpose a debate...on a topic of your choosing... "
will spelling count?
>>>"Challenge Set...Up for accepting?"
like i said... why don't you chill a little.. make a little effort and perhaps become a part of the community rather than what appears to be simply some chump with too much time on his hands and not enough validation in the physical world. at least Naomi had the social skills to join in before telling us all how it really is.
though... come to think of it... a shadowy head with a question mark seems to rather suit you at this point.

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 9:11 AMagain...ego is everything here. Next time I will pat you on the back and give the high you were looking for.
This zealot mentality of - I am right your wrong. bla bla bla ....and if you dont like it take your ball and leave...is for mental midgets.
a mental midget is someone who cant debate the issue or idea, but instead attacks the personal qualities of the speaker.
You love pudding, I like it. Should I be the ass cause i dont like it as much.
Awareness is choice. Information is easy to attain. Volition on the other hand is something of a nature all together different from knowing. knowing of e=mc2 is regurgitation...being able to apply it is everything.
In Tribe we are so much more proud of what we know...all the little things we can puke up...like quotes.
Personally all Marv accomplished was to further my point ....which his obviously didnt get...cuz he was to busy feeling attacked.
111 string of bullshit and count.
And as to what Im doing here...not that its your business...I spend most of my time filtering bullshit from my mind.
Again I asked what changes has Tribe made in your life actions? (please by no means do I think that it doesnt make a difference - it does). Its what we focus on that confuses me, as to the aim of Tribe.
Lets focus on the crying and wining...this string has nothing to do with any of the three things you (marv) mentioned getting from Tribe.
Whatever Man...you sound like Naomi
Of and if your going to quote me...do it fucking right...Marv- "To tell everyone they are wasting their time and that you think the sharing of ideas is bullshit?" Where or how did I say that....I didnt. But then again its better for you to deamonize me - and easier mentally - then to deal my thought patterns.
The best idea, in this string, you had was to come up with telling someone to 'F off' ...thats the tools Tribe has enabled you to attain. Pure peotic licensing thats what Tribe has given you Marv.

Re: Loads of Crap
Tue, May 30, 2006 - 9:19 AMI dont know why my post to prior to the one at 9:11AM gave you such an inch, Marv.
I simply put your name in it so that you would know it was addressing your post ...not an attack.
but then you are not upset with me for attacking you...your mad cause this idea of Tribe you have is not as Perfect as you would like to think it is.

but its not validation I seek from Tribe.

Re: Loads of Crap
Wed, May 31, 2006 - 6:41 AMMost people don't need the same validation you speak of. If someone does it's not really that big of a deal though. Funny you were the one that brought it up. lol It's like a homophobic guy that is on his antigay high horse screaming the loudest how wrong fags are and how he is so far from being gay. What he is really telling the world is that he is a totally closeted homo that needs to come out but is too ballless, weak & insecure to be a man & not worry about what others think. What are you really saying to us all? That others are lame and you are better than everyone. You are so intelligent. I can't believe I never realized it before! Please let me bow before your greatness. What would you have me say? Hmm. I wonder what my new master of wisdom will consider relevant. What will he not look down upon and spit on? Hmm. -

Wed, May 31, 2006 - 7:41 AMGood thing you read marv...I didnt bring it up...Davi did.
so I take it most of the links you post you dont read let alone comprehend. Just another regurgitator...<poetic license there Davi, incase your counting spelling errors.
And truly what you just wrote is about you. isnt it? I would comment but then you would accuse me of bashing...so I will just leave this post alone.
Where did I say...I was better? Why do you feel that way? Cause I questioned the motives of Tribe - how dare I !!!
So far, all you have done towards addressing a simple question, like 'Why do so many people waste so much time on silly comments?'...is attempt to insult my person. Why not just answer the question. Better yet why did you even answer Naomi's?
So which IS better Marv, the questions or the insults.

Re: Loads of Crap
Wed, May 31, 2006 - 7:17 PMWow peeps..I actually just cught up on most of this thread !...It was a labor of love.well a kind of love anyways.I'm new here and I did want to say something though.There's some very intelligent minds all in this thread and I haven't judged for favorites and I don't shoot the messenger...so I did want to add that if some big devistation happens we are going to all have to rely on eachother and as always we are going to have the hurdle of male MACHISMO!...mind you it has a place in the worlrd but a male 'pissing contest' can curtainly get in the way of keen observation and having good self critisism or any useful critique.Taking things so personally when we are just letters in this modality reveals some primal triggers which do this confrontation no justice.confrontation rocks when those whom dish can also deal.I'm not trying to be insulting ...I'm imperfect and merely respect the means more when the ends isn't lost due to competitive blind spots...okay enough of my views-peace-G -

Thu, June 1, 2006 - 3:53 AMmy kids sometimes have bright green poop. oh man and when they eat a snow cone, like a blue one, their poop is completely blue! such digestive systems the little ones have!
car pad fools
loads of crap make the perfect soil for new life to begin. gross. and the perfect playing grounds for shit slingers. gross gross.
from an outsider's perspective it kinda looks like everyone's defending themselves......and no one is "really" on the offensive. this happened in junior high....i can't believe it still works! a bully (or sweet passer-by) shoves (or accidentally pushes) person #2 into person #3. #3 attacks #2 and #'s4,5,6,7,8,9.....join in one by one. this area of the hallway now becomes a hot-spot. lots of pushing and shoving. long after #1 and #2 are gone even the people in the next hallway are still talking about it. and some of us can't help it, our lockers are here.
just participating makes you vulnerable. the chance you take sitting ring side.
this might be more like a black hole than an opportunity for growth, now that i look at it. the chances are equal, i guess. we could be feeding another source with negative energy. does that make me a quack?
