The Decline

Dear Friends,

I debated a little with myself about posting this...I don't wish to seem negative.  The decline of civilization and the impending fall of our nation are scary topics.  But forewarned is forearmed, and if we've all learned anything from our progress over the last few months and years, it's that we are strong enough and brave enough to look the future in the eye and know that we are ready, spiritually at least, for what we must face.

I think the next dramatic step will happen this year.  I don't know what it will be.  Good possibilities include another false-flag attack á la 9/11 with ensuing martial law; widespread, longterm loss of electricity; alien contact finally made public; further loss of sovereignty of nations; another dishonest President elected who is a tool of the PTB.

Yesterday a widespread power outtage hit Florida; it was caused by the simultaneous failure of a switch, and a small fire.  The result was millions without power.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/02/26/florida.power/index.html

There is further concern over the collaps of beehives on a massive scale, and what this could do to agriculture.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2008/feb/25/useconomy

It's worth noting that the mysterious die-off of honeybees is something that affects ONLY the large apiaries.  These bees are not natural bees, but are fed hormone-laced food and are highly stressed by being trucked around the country to service fields.  Those who raise natural bees are unaffected.

Widespread bank failures may hit us hard this year.  Bank Of America may collapse completely - they are in deep doo-doo.

This article, by one of my favorite whackos, gives a thoroughly alarmist picture of what could happen when the power goes off and martial law is declared:

Here's a somewhat more hopeful view...

Here is an article regarding our food:

http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/health/chi-0224deardorf...

None of these is intended to strike fear or to seem depressing.  We were born for this.  This is what we agreed to grapple with when we came to earth.  Our creative, positive responses to these and other challenges will make a difference.  We must open peoples' eyes, we must mentor the young, and we must spread hope and love.

I hope someone finds these issues worthy of discussion.

Dave, you've brought together some good links here. I have been following these things for quite a long while and have no solid conclusions or deep wisdom to offer. There can no longer be any denying that we are in the midst of huge changes, and there are so many differing opinions on what to do about it all: should we hide, fight, build survival places and communities, pray to be lifted up?????? My answers/thoughts/solutions are different now as an elder than when I was younger and had small children in my home.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that the answer to "what to do" will be just as individual as each of us. I see no way to influence events at this time: I'm too old, too poor, and my body is not as strong as it used to be. So, as far as my physical, 3D beingness goes, I try to stay informed (I don't like surprises); share what I discover with others who are interested in hearing about it; keep on keeping on loving; and stay tuned to my own inner guidance as much as possible rather than rely on outside guidance. There is no savior or great teacher to swoop down and rescue me. I will still Be after the dust settles, and I will be where I need to be to benefit everyone and everything in my small way.

I haven't tried to verbalize this before, so I'll stop for now and see what others have to say.

greetings dave

The Nuclear power plant in s florida asked to build two more reactors last week, and the county said no, so guess what went off line ???? Caused series collapse...now when they ask for another reactor...there will be silence at city hall !

As for bees, the chemtrails dumping aluminum oxides and barium salts for the last ten years into our skies...has had a profound effect on wildlife...bees, gopher tortoise, rabbits, inshore fish etc., yet no one correlates the two...just business as usual, Agenda 21...

Banks...they been fleecing their customers forever...but the true tragedy was when the Stock Brokerage, Insurance and Banks all joined together to fleece us...many laws had to be circumvented for that to happen...and the S&L's had to be harnessed...and voila...you get the S&L debacle BCCI, Keating 5 trials, and who was tied up in it all...the Bushes ...and John McCain...! Nothing really changes...just our perspective !!!

I hope to qualify as one of those whacko's....who keep posting on their websites.. the curious... the pathetic...the most unbelievable theories...the most regretable legislation... being foisted upon us, from the TOP DOWN, ( the opposite of how our system is supposed to work...an idea from the people, to the representative, to the senate, to the Gov/ Pres...)it's all been convoluted. And the sheep do nothing, say nothing, just go back to their reality tv, cop shows, ABCBNBC mind control...pretending to be proud  of what they're doing...all the while our dollar is being driven to the depths of the deautchmark in 1930's Germany...all very disheartening....

HOWEVER,...that being said...Fred has the right approach....a few deep breathes...and a few prayers for the perpetrators...that they might see the light....

because, there are those who would say,  if we take to the streets and use force to regain our position, then we have become THEM !!!

Peace Love and Understanding is all we have to learn....the law of Attraction works... like begets like ....violence begets violence...hate begets hate...and PEACE BEGETS PEACE   !!!

 

Any way, that's my take on your above post...thanks for paying attention to life around you....you're a good example for all of us....

 

Blessings

JoyAnna and Lefty...you both have very good things to say.  Especially I want to address:

Peace Love and Understanding is all we have to learn....the law of
Attraction works... like begets like ....violence begets
violence...hate begets hate...and PEACE BEGETS PEACE   !!!

I am in absolute agreement with this!!  I do NOT believe in violence or forceful takeover.  It will NOT achieve the goals we seek.  It is 100% OP.  There is a place where violence may be appropriate.  This is not it.

I've also wondered about the connection between chemtrails and wildlife.  I've been photographing them forever.  With respect to bees, I have read from numerous sources that natural beekeepers are doing just fine, thank you very much.  Which led me to learn more about commercial beekeeping.  Commercial bees are larger than wild bees.  They are pumped up on steroids and hormones.  They spend their lives in wooden hives which are shipped around the country from season to season.  The position of queen is not hereditary.  Two or three promising candidates are selected from among the worker larvae in the hive, and these are fed a diet of royal jelly which accelerates their growth and their fertility.  Once the final selection of the new queen is made, the other candidates are again fed regular food, at which point they become normal worker bees.  If something disrupts this cycle, the hive is left without a queen, and the bees disperse.  This may or may not have something to do with hive collapses.  I do think that chemtrails have probably had a devastating effect on wildlife.  I've been watching how the frogs, minnows and crayfish have been disappearing from the creek across the street over the last several years.

I think you and I are on the same page re the reactor in Florida!

JoyAnna, you wrote, My answers/thoughts/solutions are different now
as an elder than when I was younger and had small children in my home.
Isn't that the truth!  My priorities are very different.  And yet, it's the children I think of most when I contemplate what we are approaching.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that the answer to "what to do"
will be just as individual as each of us.

You're exactly right about that.  I'm thankful for efforts like the Transformation Course that have enabled us to focus in groups on common issues.

I see no way to influence
events at this time: I'm too old, too poor, and my body is not as
strong as it used to be.

Yes, I know.  But I think that you and each of us is doing community and world service simply by being here, and attempting to carry our paradigms out to the world, in whatever way we can.  The resonance of all our small actions will eventually cause a tsunami of paradigm shifts.

Thanks Dave for kicking this one off. I also have been anticipating the next false flag event for the past 6 months, especially in light of those 6 nukes that were illegally flown over the continental US and one came up missing. I haven't heard a thing about that for a while, have you?. The bees thing sure is interesting and a bit ominous too. Wasn't It Einstein who said, "If the bees ever go, mankind will follow inside of four years", or something to that effect. The popular belief concerning the bees problem is biological isn't it? The reason I ask is I have been reading Dr. Rosalie Bertell's latest book, "Planet Earth: Latest Weapon of War" and she mentions the effect that the ionospheric heaters known as HAARP are having on animals and are playing havoc with nature's use of electromagnetic fields for navigation, and if those fields were intense enough, I imagine they could be lethal to many life forms, including bees. So many bee keepers saying, "They just vanished into thin air - no place to be found!" Back to false flag state-sanctioned terrorism. Capt. Eric May, founder of Ghosttroops, has been a watchdog looking out for the next one. He mentioned several possible locations - Portland, Oregon, Texas City, TX (or any other refinery town in that general vicinity, and Chicago. One thing is for sure - the endgame is a police state ruling the worker bees located more and more over time in controllable containment areas. I believe alot of this new land zoning for creating undisturbed corridors nationwide (for nature and wildlife) is a bit of a ruse for their ongoing planning of how best to create efficient containment and control. One need only read National Security Presidential Directive 51 to get a gist of what is happening in America, not to mention their plans for the 3-state North American Union and their Security and Prosperity Partnership that was formed without any public input. That is so in vogue these days (was it ever out of vogue?)

Great Subject Bro,

Chris

Greetings Stefa,

 

It's all perspective....one mans terrorist is another mans' freedom fighter !!

The Law of Attraction is valid...as is the fact that opposites attract...so who's right...I guess it's all circumstances....

we're all becoming good skeptics...and no one knows where Truth lies....what I learned in life is that everything I thought was true turned out to be false....leaving me with little to truly believe in....and I have come to the conclusion that I don't BELIEVE in anything, but me !!! I accept certain truisms, I support certain ideas, I try to dissern the truth in the subjects I read daily, but when it comes right down to it, I don't KNOW anything.

The old adage ...believe half of what you see and none of what you hear...strikes a chord with me these days....especially after the 9-11 crimes.

Good luck here...lets try to find truth and share it as best we can.....and accept that every one's opinion counts !!!!

Loving Greetings all of you. 

 

What a valuable and stimulating discussion this is.  I had so many different reactive thoughts as I read through these illuminating comments it is hard to decide what I want to add to the mix.  But I will put in my humble 2 bits.

 

The first thing that I thought as I read Daves initial discourse, was that it has occured to me often over the past few years that the law of entropy has been becoming very evident. Merriam Webster's definition of entropy is:

1: a measure of the unavailable energy in a closed thermodynamic system that is also usually considered to be a measure of the system's disorder, that is a property of the system's state, and that varies directly with any reversible change in heat (energy) in the system and inversely with the temperature (frequency/vibration) of the system; broadly : the degree of disorder or uncertainty in a system

2 a: the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity b: a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder.

[Brackets my insert]

This has become most evident to me in the physical superstructure of our society/communites.  For example our transportation systems are falling apart faster than they can be repaired/replaces and at the same time the cost of repairing/replacing them are increasing faster than they are deteriorating.  Perfect example of entropy.  The same is happening with buildings and structures which we have taken for granted that they would last forever; they aren't and the same applies to them as to the transportation system.  Look at the news today about the Amtrack rail crisis, the tracks/ties that were supposed to last 50 years are falling apart after only 15-20 years.

In the same vein, our charished American Constitution and Bill of Rights seems to be subject to this effect as well, especially with the low energy disorder being inserted into the system by our current and previous governmental administrations.  Society/civilization is also experiencing an entropic decline as well as violence, war, criminal activity, dishonest big corporation continue to increase the low frequency input into the system.  By low frequency, I am indicating the concept that frequency increases on a scale from extreme negative emotion/action like murder/hate/anger etc to an extreme high exhibited by love, peace, joy, thanksgiving etc..

Is this entopic decline a natural occurance?  To a small degree it is, however, I believe that it has been stimulated by those called variously by the terms "the Dark" "Illuminati" "the Power Elite", etc.   for the purpose as commented above to create a vast division between those few in control and the rest of the apathetic, ignorant, oblivious masses who are not even aware/conscious of this happening. 

Stefa, I was surprised and then happy that you said the following:

I'm going way out on a limb saying this here, but I wonder if the 'law of attraction' is another delusion that's aiding and abetting the power elite to take another round of goodies from those willing to be slaves to hope and hard work on themselves..? I've seen the belief that abundance is created by an inner attitude adopted for over 30 years in various sub-cultures in North America and what I've witnessed is some writers and speakers getting materially rich but not much trickle down effect. But that is really beside my point. The part that horrifies me after many years of working on self-realization in a number of ways and being part of that 'movement' since the late 1960s, I've watched society get more and more brutal and ugly alongside. Our focus upon our inner selves and so-called 'power to choose' and being quiet has been as much a part of our undoing as has the focus of some on raiding the planet.

I loved the teaching of Abraham/Hicks and the Law of Attraction, but I have to agree with you in this. It is self centered.

In Aldous Huxley's book Brave New World, the people were soothed into submission by the drug "Soma".  I have been considering seriously the last several months that much of the "New Age" cant is just that type of spiritual/mental drug.  I am a member of the Unity Church (gradually releasing it).  For the last 4-5 years I have been listening to the persistant teaching that everything is about me, my prosperity (where is it), My peace of mind, my, my, me,  me,  I,  I.   Seldom is the concept of serving others, being part of community, holding world peace in meditation part of the teachings. When people think only of self, the energy of the system is decreasing and entropy is increasing.

 

All this being said, I still have high expectations and HOPE.  There are an increasing number of people, just like those of us in the TT.  People who are becoming aware, conscious of the Oneness of All That Is, centered in Love and Light and Peace.  Those people, though in a great minority, right now, are what Kryon, and other spiritual entities call Lightworker, and they/we are a stronger influence on what is happening in the world than is suspected.  David R. Hawkins, I believe, indicates that the positive energy exerted by the Love/Light centered people is redically stronger than that negative energy resident in the dark oriented individuals of society.  I don't have the details at hand but generally a few people with high vibrational intent can balance against a very great many who are holding low energy/vibrational intent. That being my understanding, I am persuaded that great positive change is indeed on the very near horizon. 

 

I have gone on long enough here so I bid you all the highest intent of Love, Light, Peace and Joy,

Berry

Stefa, your remarks are on-target. I agree that the Law of Attraction can be nothing but selfishness. Perhaps, though, you're still wrestling with OP ideas about violence and retribution. You're absolutely right that there will be bloodshed. Perhaps some of it will be spilled by us. Nevertheless I hold that the New Paradigm will overcome in the end, because when people refuse to be controlled, the controllers have no options. Gandhi was right.

Berry, you wrote, For the last 4-5 years I have been listening to the persistant teaching
that everything is about me, my prosperity (where is it), My peace of
mind, my, my, me, me, I, I. Seldom is the concept of serving
others, being part of community, holding world peace in meditation part
of the teachings. When people think only of self, the energy of the
system is decreasing and entropy is increasing.

I fully agree. Perhaps that is one reason I've resisted engaging in "prosperity thinking." Remember the old story of the people in hell vs the people in heaven: in hell, the people were starving even though they sat at a table loaded with food, because their spoons were too long to feed themselves. In heaven, the scene was the same, except the people were satisfied - they used their long spoons to feed one another across the table.

Stefa, your description of this "Brave New World" and what we can do as citizens in non-violent form is utterly erudite! So much so that I would (if I were you) send that post (minus the last paragraph) somewhere like The Nation or any favorite political magazine that prints letters to the editor. Your economy of words fold time... Oh, and one idea for a movie that can say what "The Secret" should have been fully concentrating on instead of devoting time to the prosperity doctrine is

"Down the Rabbit Hole" by What the Bleep?!.

And Dave, to relate my own experience with the consideration of monetary prosperity teachings - I found it very difficult to adopt any philosophy that I could not effectively share with the mother and child dying of starvation on the sun-cooked street of any third world country. The prosperity doctrine is much like anorexia and bulimia - they are diseases that only the rich nations can afford.

Hey LD,

Think maybe practice run on that little power outage mishap complete with a side order of plausible deniability? Maybe just some PR market research. Hey, at least they're practicing now. I guess in a neo-fascist state that's a step in the right direction... Looking forward to what these maniacs have planned for us next.

LD,

I don't either, but with the director of homeland security and the president talking up the next attack being an event that dwarfs September 11th, makes me think the word nucular might play a part in the next shock and awe psyops extravaganza. We shall see...

Chris

Hi everyone,

What a fantastic discussion!

I would just like to add a little to "the law of attraction", Stefa was speaking of earlier. I personally love resonance. I would just like to describe how a "tuning fork" works for anyone that doesn't know. If you were to tune a piano you need a "reference" a starting point. What you would do is get a tuning fork that might be tuned to "C". You would hold it next to the piano and play the "c" note on the piano. If it is in tune the tuning fork will "magicaly" start to vibrate. It is the same as when you play loud music you might find one "book" or ? on a shelf that starts vibrating, it does this because it's resonance matches the frequencies in the music......

When like "vibrations" come across each other, they sing to each other......resonance......

If I have any of that wrong I hope someone will speak up, but essentially thats how it works and yes, like does attract like.....

I totally agree Stefa! They are getting it done with DU munitions overseas, but they still may favor the shock and awe value of a good ole GW "nucular" scare em' into submission again tactic here in America. Speaking of depleted uranium, have you seen "Beyond Treason" or "Blowin' in the Wind" yet? Good coverage on DU... Have you heard of Leuren Moret? She is doing fine work exposing DU use. Fortunately for us, there is new technology featured on the documentary, "Free Energy: Race to Zero Point" that will soon make it possible to neutralize radio active waste.
We're gonna need it...

We  are not here to wonder or worry about what will be next. We are here in this time, in this place

to hold the space for Divine love, Light and transformation. To allow the negativity of current and previous paradigms

cripple our thoughts, encourage our limitations and keep us in fear is exactly what we need NOT do.

Don't put your blinders on, but DO allow the flow of Light from you, to you and out into the world by knowing

the universe is unfolding exactly as it should. Knowing, not second guessing. The chaos of the shift that we are feeling is a necessary part of the integration of Light and wisdom to come. We cannot see a higher place without the knowledge of exactly what we do NOT want. We must build what we do want. The very name of God exists within our DNA. We are not a cosmic coincidence. Manifest great love in the face of great hatred. Be the peace that few around you seem to be able to find and hold. Show others the way. That is what we are here to do, what we must do. We are Spiritual warriors reclaiming radiant loving energy that we may send it outward in all directions for healing , comfort and inspiration. Plant seeds of Light, set aside doubt and fear. Claim the Mastery we are capable of now. Blessings on your way.

IF/when the banks collapse we'll trade it out, we'll make stone soup, we'll help our neighbors, we'll stitch up the wounded, we'll chew the leather for those moccasins....where is Ursula??   *smiles*

breathing sacred love to all beings and kingdoms............Light be in me, Light be as me.  kristyne

To ignore the chaos around us is not possible, to buy into the fear we are attempting to be fed and choose to believe there is more negativity to come is something I won't do. It is in the power of my own thought. To spend time thinking about the what if's gives energy to them. To see in the news, world politics, business ethics-all the bullshit that currently exists there- makes it even more necessary to use the word, the power of thought, to build a new paradigm. To spend time engaged in activities that transform us all makes more sense to me.

Frustrated that others are not where I am? Where am i? Not frustrated anyway. We are all where we need to be in our evolution. Each of us will come to the place of our own ascension in our own time and in our own way. Whether that is in this life or in another- possibly even in another place.

Having been on the edge of both worlds on three occasions ( I was pronounced 'dead' at 16, again in my 20's and in 2000) I do not fear the transformation of my physical body, and in thus saying, maybe I am more detached from the physicality of who I am than the norm. Our life doesnt end with this physical body, in my own experience I KNOW that as a truth. Maybe then, I am less concerned with the what if's and more concerned with the NOW.

My path isnt yours, nor would I wish yours to be imposed upon me. We are here to anchor the Light. We are here to transform the darkness within ourselves, without doing so, how can we bring Light to anything/anyone else?

I've sat on the sidelines watching what's happened in some of the threads here making little or no comment because I wont give energy to discord. I wont  give an inordinate amount of time to sitting here at the computer either, when irl I have so much work to do. I come in when I can, give voice to what seems appropriate and I let it go.

You ask if I consider myself a teacher, I do not. I am a student just like everyone else on this Earth plane. I am a Minister without a church, my beliefs tested often. I claim no religion and all religion due to the common thread of truth inherent in all of them as we look closely. I work toward my own self - Mastery in the space of One consciousness. I hope someday that One consciousness will be the mass consciousness that survives and thrives on this beautiful planet in spite of where we seem to be right now. I'm not sure I've answered your questions, but welcome Stefa. May blessings be what greet you. Breathing Sacred Love to all sentient beings in all kingdoms.

Light be in me, light be as me.                              kristyne

Thank you for your very centering and loving comments.  I agree with you completely that it is ours to be aware of what is going on without buying into the fear and chaos but with focus on the Present.  For my part, even though I see what is appearantly transpiring in our world, ( I use the word appearantly because it is what we allow it to be) I still have intentions, visions, hope of the transformation of the world that we are here in this TT to work toward.

 

There are people though who are not even aware of the condition of the world around them but go about their lives in total oblivion with no thought to changing themselves or the world.  And I believe it is important to present to them the facts, balanced with the hope and love inspiring information as well.  I suppose that chewing this information on this portal though is like preaching to the choir.  Please allow me a chuckle.  I love you sister onesong and send you thanks in the love and light of the one infinite Creator.

It's delightful to meet you 'out there', Dave. I'm confused though about what you meant by wondering if I'm struggling with OP and then citing Gandhi who's the same person I was leaning on in yearning for civil disobedience...? I can easily believe I'm OP but I don't understand your point

Stefa, I hope you don't think I was being critical. First of all, we all struggle with OP thinking from time to time - maybe some are entirely past that, but I certainly am not! I suppose I was just musing about your statement regarding bloodshed. I actually agreed with everything you said. In fact, when you wrote, I'm seeing a picture, for example, of millions of people refusing to spend a dollar on anything that comes out of the trade system... I thought you were rather inspired in your vision. In fact, you use words so brilliantly...vibrant, non-compromising citizenship forceful enough to stop the wheels of rampant social corrosion without becoming violent...that is my dream, too.

So please don't read too much into my words. You're a lot deeper than I am.

Jez, your explanation of resonance is exactly right and perfectly appropriate for our discussions! (pianos are tuned from A = 440cps though, and not C). You've perfectly explained how resonance works in the realm of thought as well as physical vibes. When evil walks, this resonates too, with those who are so inclined. How many thousands of our sons have signed up with Halliburton or Blackwater? Look at how the makeup of police forces have changed, almost without our notice...the beat cop who really was there "to protect and to serve" is now a paramilitary thug with riot gear and tasers (and worse)....so far, our ideas and paradigms spread by resonance - the hundredth monkey - in a way that's mostly stayed under the radar of the PTB. We haven't really been tested yet.

davelambert's picture

Kristyne, I'm so glad you weighed in on this! Your words speak exactly to the paradigm we need to return to whenever we begin to feel uneasy. I am as susceptible as anyone to the discord of our times...have to return again and again to that place where I find the Light...to try yet again to carry it to others. I can't say more because my words would only smudge the luster of yours.

davelambert's picture

I was not surprised to read the headlines in today's paper....we have passed a milestone....more than one of every 100 Americans is now behind bars. Our nation keeps a larger percentage of its own citizens in prison than any society in the world...think about that...the Russians....the Chinese...all those regimes we are told are so oppressive...

The tipping point WILL be reached, and then transformation will be out of the hands of the PTB. In fact, I believe it is already beyond their control, and sucking more and more of us into the prison system is a measure of their desperation.

Greetings TT

 Dave, on the prison issue....

one thing one can not explain to another ...is being locked up in a cage . Or in the grip of tyrants, For your beliefs...for your pursuit of happiness and welfare...with no way out.....stripped of your family...possesions...lifework, no way to express in words the degradation and disgust   Experience it, and it's effects never go away...

 

One thing Stefa said...

let me go snip it ...

[Our focus upon our inner selves and so-called 'power to choose' and being quiet... has been as much a part of our undoing as has the focus of some on raiding the planet.]

 

Powerful words....the same feelings exist here inside...and one wonders.. if the fruit of all of lifes' adventures, learning, experiences...etc  was  to spend it in this lotus position humming a low A   !!! Doesn't seem so

 

The more one absorbs as input...the harder it is to conclude anything....

I can't help wondering sometimes...."WHO THINKS THIS SHIT UP ? """

 

Oh well, it's friday...leap day..the market is taking another bath...think I'll go read a book...it's where I spend a lot of time these last few years.

 

Blessings to all

"My how the world loves a cage" Words I always remember from Ruth Gordon in the movie "Harold and Maude". Kristyne, your words remind me of how appreciative I am to have what I have learned in the past 6 months. I was literally dying from taking in so much info about 9-11, bogus monetary systems, depleted uranium use and just how crazy things have become. I now have the tools you speak of to always aid my understanding and keep me grounded in the Zen Buddhist truth of what is real and especially, what is not. I love the irony of becoming grounded so you can fly. Thank you for your affirming words. These dark illusions present in the world today will run there course, as always, but to the blind man with the grin from ear to ear (much like the wonderful Buddhist monk from side B of disk 3 of "Down the Rabbit Hole") it is no more than a warm gentle breeze passing before her/his senses.
