Impending Event Alert: Do you feel it?

[Joe Hillshoist]

geo - I've always used a bong.

Why the straight extract, I spose its cos it feels more ... right.

The extract is powerful and intense, and fast, too fast to really keep the focus you need for this journey.

Well maybe not you or others, but thats been my experience. Some people might have more of a grip than I had when using the extract.

I had 5 bongs in a row, breathed the smoke from one out had a breath then had the next one when doing unadulterated salvia leaf, so less than 5 seconds between each cone. Thats the equivalent of 1 cone/bong of salvia with the 5X extract. That way I could feel the drug kick in, and because it was slightly slower to reach peak concentration in my bloodstream I was more in control or at one with it as it came on. It wasn't quite as intense or quick to hit me.

I found smoking the extract sent me further out past the point where I could control where I was going. It just opened a crack in reality and sucked me through too quickly to know what had happened. Every time.

It was like a rocket taking off instead of a plane or bird.

I have one really bad bad thing in mind. During WWI, in the trenches, it's documented the tension would rise to a point where the soldiers themselves, without the help of any political commissar, would 'get it over with', and rush to their machine-gun and barb-wire death. I certainly for one do feel the urge to get it over with and see it all come crashing down.
I readily admit i am chock-full of negativities but i certainly ain't the only one, and seeing the state of things, which are obvious for everyone, if not consciously, the collective psyche must have some urge to get it over with too, thus speeding the process. And then there's magickal manipulations on large scales -techo-magick fuck yeah just like in bad comics-.
It's also only natural/cyclical as stated in sacred texts, so the dark age should end in conflagration so a new cycle can begin -how long before the turning point though?-

Like a few of us have just written, I've been into deep politics and the rule of secret services/organized crime/corrupt masters for many years. (I betcha most Rigorous Intuitives are the same, just as we tend to adore really good or ground-breaking music... see Skinny Puppy thread.)

Here's what's surprising. I've had 3 calls from friends in the past week, all of whom I haven't spoken to in YEARS. 2 knew me from university days 25 years ago, one I met 8 years ago while traveling... and they know a BIT about my interest in the hidden things. (Or bits that I was willing to share... sometimes we are silenced by the sweetness and naivete-- or conversely, the block-headed denial-- of those close to us.)

A common phrase I've heard over the years is "Hey, you're the conspiracy guy... what's up with Skull & Bones/the New Orleans levees/the stuff on the $1 bill..." and I usually keep it pretty trite and lightweight. They're often just stoned and seeking a little woo in their lives. Can't go too far, though... they don't tend to want to talk about 9/11, or a fascist framework already built and hardened by (and within) the USA and throughout the world by the associated crime families of the PTB.

But they're phoning me now because they want to talk about what's going on. They're phoning me now because they're freaked out.

Generally, it's the economic crisis, the I'll show-you-my-ass-and-you'll-still-vote-for-it! insanity of the Republican ticket, how Americans don't know or care what's going on, the fucked-up weather for the past few years, Afghanistan/Pakistan. (BTW, it seems like nobody in the lumpen gives a SHIT about Iraq anymore, it's just kinda there and insignificant to them, like the weather in Jakarta on a TV map.)

See, two of them are "nice" career-folk with mortgages and kids and square jobs who must embrace enormous lies to stay sane and protect their domesticity and sense of hope. One is a most talented artist and performer who doesn't much care for politics or current events, but is beautifully spiritual and intuitive and empathetic.

And the world is getting to be simply too much for them, in a way that it hasn't (in spite of everything) over the past few years.

And all I can really offer is, "They're rolling the dice right now. It's like a worldwide Appalachian summit of mobsters going on, and they're arguing like hell. Could work out okay for us, but more likely things are going to get weird and harsh and oppressive. Stock up on necessities and try to toughen yourselves as though a blizzard or hurricane is coming."

My point? Lotsa plain "reality-based" (ha ha ha ) folks badly freaked out too, based on my experience.

The weltschmerz, the zeitgeist, the gyre of egregore

Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door

I love this part.

But they're phoning me now because they want to talk about what's going on. They're phoning me now because they're freaked out.

I know all 'bout keeping it on the down low unless it is brought up by the other party. I wish I had some more folks in my small town that thought the way I do.

Thanks to RI I can bounce ideas around without being ridiculed (unless I deserve it!)

Entropy. That's what I feel. Entropy like molasses. Like space/time is bending right in front of me.

The other thing that bothers me is that several weeks ago I came to the conclusion.... maybe conclusion isn't the right word.... anyway, I got the notion in my head that something major is going to happen on October 8th. I hadn't heard or read anything about the predictions about Oct. 7th or half past human etc. It was totally independent of any of that stuff.

So when I did hear about that stuff.... well, it didn't make me feel any better. I have a sickening feeling in my stomach right now. I just want to find out that my imagination is getting carried away. Yea, that would be nice. I'm just crazy-- hurray!

Yeah, I'm with you on that. When I was younger, there were a couple of times where things were going very badly for me, financially usually, although it was usually combined with a relationship, and rather than watch it eke away bit by bit, I'd just go party my brains out and blow it all at once. Just to get it the fuck over with.

Yes, the suspense is part of the problem here. I mean, watching the glaciers and the ice caps literally melt, waiting for the cities of the world to be inundated with water, waiting for the dollar to completely crash, waiting for the depression to hit, waiting for whatever fucked up bullshit the Bush admin is gonna throw at us before January 2009 .....

It's excruciating.

And then my own personal financial issues, right now, for some bizarre reason seem to be paralleling those of the world. That's never happened before -- usually I do really well when everybody else is yelling "the sky is falling". Right now? Not so much.

[aimdrained]

This October 7th or 8th fear-mongering is truly sad.
Maybe even a little pathetic.
But hell, after the past seven years it is at least understandable.

Look.
If there is ever going to be another 9/11 or other Big Scary Event then none of us are going to know when its going down.

RinInt, you are some of the best minds out here. Don't waste it on the Fear!
For God's sake go out have a good time while you can.

(I betcha most Rigorous Intuitives are the same, just as we tend to adore really good or ground-breaking music... see Skinny Puppy thread.)

It's so strange, I was like 5 years old when ET came out, but after seeing that I became convinced the US military, not Russia, was going to invade America and put us into camps. I was frightened to even look at the back of the one dollar bill. It wasnt until many many many years later I'd get back to the "paranoia", heh

and they know a BIT about my interest in the hidden things. (Or bits that I was willing to share... sometimes we are silenced by the sweetness and naivete-- or conversely, the block-headed denial-- of those close to us.)

That's the thing...sometimes I feel its a fart in a room to bring up any below the surface topics or dissemination with strangers or people who are discussing mainstream politics. I was at a club the other week, and a group of people were debating about the election and I said "eh, theyre all just puppets". They acted like I just said the holocaust was a hoax or that I worship a chocolate zebra. If I dare question 9/11, I fear even the most anti Bush person would slug me.

But to our friends and loved ones, sometimes youll be surprised at how they often come to similar conclusions as we do.

A common phrase I've heard over the years is "Hey, you're the conspiracy guy... what's up with Skull & Bones/the New Orleans levees/the stuff on the $1 bill..." and I usually keep it pretty trite and lightweight.

Heh, yeah Ive been called "Dale Gribble"(the fringe conspiracist on King of the Hill), "the conspiracy guy", ect. I've been known to break out a one dollar bill and 20 dollar bill at a table in a restaurant with friends and explain my view on who is running the show.

But they're phoning me now because they want to talk about what's going on. They're phoning me now because they're freaked out.

Absolutely, same here. I got friends calling me up about the impending financial meltdown, and I honestly don't know squat about finances.
My friend calls me up and says "Dude, did you hear the Dow dropped 777 points! Does that mean its the Illuminati?" And he says this with all sincerity. I respond "Life works in mysterious ways". But people are worried

When the people keeps doing stories on "tent cities", when its clear the elites in DC and elsewhere are out of control, when tensions with Russia, Iran and Pakistan seep into dinner discussions...people are starting to poke their head above the myspace-starbucks-ipod-reality tv fray.

Afghanistan/Pakistan. (BTW, it seems like nobody in the lumpen gives a SHIT about Iraq anymore, it's just kinda there and insignificant to them, like the weather in Jakarta on a TV map.)

Neo Babylon-Sumer, AKA Iraq is old news. Shockingly the "left" keeps talking about it, yet never mentioning Afghanistan. All the elite did was pay off the warring factions they incited to begin with, and voila...ala penut butter sandwiches, abracadabra..."the surge" is working magickally.

It's all about Pakistan now.

And the world is getting to be simply too much for them, in a way that it hasn't (in spite of everything) over the past few years.

Just as a financial collapse would be more devestating to the middle class than the really poor, taking the "red" pill is certainly harder for folks who are used to not noticing such things. But everyone eventually has their own awakening

My point? Lotsa plain "reality-based" (ha ha ha ) folks badly freaked out too, based on my experience.

One can only imagine the collective consciousness that will unfold.
My God my friend said, if people were aware of or believed a 20th the stuff I do; theyd go mad or drive off a cliff...or cower in the corner.
To me it's "Mornin' Sam, Mornin' Ralph', business as usual.
Devil worshipping elites sacrificing kidnapped kids, invoking dark forces and ramming planes into buildings in my view is a time honored tradition with them.

For God's sake go out have a good time while you can.

"While you can", lol.

Did it occur to anyone that we might be on the verge of the most awesome and redemptive cultural transfiguration in the history of humankind? And no, I don't mean some "redemptive" kind of physical annihilation, like a nuclear holocaust. Because that would suck. I mean something that would be good. For real. And maybe the anxiety we canaries are all feeling, maybe the portents of entropy, maybe the signs of the apocalypse (is there an etymologist in the house?) are just an uncomfortable prelude to something GOOD and WONDERFUL and REAL.

Take your fucking nooses down, stop biting your nails, and relax for a sec.

Hmm, could be something below the surface will manifest on those dates...much as Im sure some sort of unholy but wholly unseen event happened on 7/7/07

For God's sake go out have a good time while you can.

That's what Im saying. Ive been going to the beach and going on road trips with friends these days

Look.
If there is ever going to be another 9/11 or other Big Scary Event then none of us are going to know when its going down.

Absolutely. But I dont believe people are talking about Oct 7th/8th as "the big one", but a more international change. While the really earth shattering events "are like a thief in the night", events like assassinations of Pakistani leaders, massive terror bombings overseas, ect are predictable. I myself accurately predicted the exact time of India's largest terror attack back in 2006, because I knew "7-11" would be just too tempting.

But they like to play games. Cory Lidle crashing his plane into the top of a Manhattan highrise on 9/11/01 upside down.

Also I would wager many of us, especially worldwide...millions of people, felt something was up in the weeks and days leading to 9/11

[FreeLancer]

Maybe you're right-- maybe we should just enjoy life while we have it. It's a beautiful autumn day... and nobody can ever destroy that.


"By my troth, I care not; a man can die but once; we owe God a death...and let it go which way it will, he that dies this year is quit for the next."

[FourthBase]

There's nothing preventing people from cynically confronting the worst scenarios and still retaining a faith that the best case scenarios are possible, as long as we figure shit out and do our best and try our hardest, and none of that precludes enjoying your life at the same time.

[Joe Hillshoist]

4B thats awesome mate.

You are so right on. Dr Who does it all the time (pulls things out of the fire at the last moment) and he does with wit compassion and a minimum of violence and a world of courage.

What a great role model.

Its at times like these when reality gets the most plastic. its times like this that your actions can be fearful or hopeful and the world that follows will reflect that.

And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one.

[norton ash]

I'm pissed on Black Bush and Stella chasers and home and safe and lucky, lucky, lucky in Canada ... ever think how fucked anyone might be being born anywhere else in the 20th C.? Russia, Poland, China, Japan, Congo.... O please nevermind, I am so glad to be free.

Love to my friends at RI. As a westie-civvy I worry madly over the words of an Ojibwa elder in a sweat lodge (could be true, God... okay? Go fuck yourself) (GFY must be included in conversations about God)

who said in the voice of Musk'a (Bear)

You who I am talking to are Nishnawbek are here to stay and must be medicine bags, because ONE god of the white men is angry and is coming back to eat his people and many people will be hurt and sick.

Some shit stays with you. Doesn't mean I believe it.

But Christ and Buddha and India and Marx and Leo Strauss and LSD and all of us go somewhere....

Ah, well. Persian carpet. Nice to be drunk among people you trust.

[Joe Hillshoist]

Have one for us then.
