I agree that we are 'trained' to eat three squares a day, sleep eight hours a day and so on. Sounds like prison to me!

Hehe, yeah me too.

My mother told me she tried to feed me meat since birth (after first being weened off milk of course), but it was very difficult because I did not like it.  She said I didn't like the texture at first and would always gag on it.  All I would eat were vegetables.  But given that she was brainwashed into the same ideology that people need meat for protein and such she continued feeding me meat until eventually I started eating and liking it.  Surprisingly I do have flashbacks of my mother trying to feed me the baby food made of meat.  I vividly remember swaying my head side to side trying to avoid the food.  I also remember at a very young age when I was old enough to eat solid foods that I could not swallow steaks very well as I would gag on that as well.  I could not tolerate the texture going down my throat.  Eventually I reached the point to where I could not tolerate vegetables and the only food in my diet was meat, bread, dairy, and potatoes.  My mother, being very spiritual, says she now regrets forcing me to eat meat knowing what she knows now.  All through my childhood years and through young adulthood I could not stomach the taste of vegetables and would gag at any attempt to eat any of them.  Gladly however, I can and do eat any and all vegetables.  The more I eat them the more I enjoy eating them.  The ones I still don't like I eat them anyway as part of overcoming my ego's desire to eat comfort foods.

Anyway my point is that I understand what is being said about eating habits being formed from a very young age.  That being said I have no regrets or guilt about being conditioned to eating a lifestyle of meat.  For me it's another wonderful challenge at transcending my ego.  For myself I still find eating a binding activity and one that I prefer to be free from.  Becoming an inediate is still one of several results I would like to have manifest during my spiritual development, and one in which I have no doubt will.

Hello everyone,

This is indeed a wonderful thread.  I enjoyed reading every post.  All this talk kind of reminds me of the metaphor of diving and then falling backwards off of the highest cliff giving no thought of the consequences and having no regrets of letting go.  All that matters is in that very moment of flying through the air and feeling free.

It also reminds me of another metaphor where a man is hanging on for his life from a high cliff and then he notices the most beautiful flower in front of him.  Instead of hanging on he lets go.  While letting go he picks the flower and while plummiting to an inevitable death he focuses on the beauty and love that radiates from the flower.

The point I'm trying to make is that the first metaphor explains that when life seems too complicated just let go.  In the second metaphor rather than focusing on the fear of death the man rather focuses on the beauty of life.

For myself I choose light and Love.  I also enjoy letting go and focusing on the very moment as it is a very liberating feeling.

There's a very interesting letter at kryon.com I enjoyed reading telling a hypothetical story about a little girl named Sally.  This letter can be disturbing, but explains how the perceived horrors and atrocities are appropriate in the grand scheme of things.

Little Sally--a Difficult Story to Tell, or Understand
I'd like to tell you about little Sally. Some of you aren't going to like this story.

Little Sally was only three. Like many in so many cultures around the world, she was abducted--literally taken away to a dark place, by a man of low vibratory energy with a contract that most of you sitting here wouldn't begin to understand. For you see, all Human contracts with the other side are sacred. His contract was not predestined, but predisposed. He had a choice to change it... free will to follow a groove, one where he would meet little Sally. His name is not given, for this is about little Sally. Another time we will give the mechanics of his story, so you'll understand even better how such a dark thing could exist within the sacred scope of the love of God. He met little Sally, and in his own way, lusted for this child. That's why he took her.

When it was discovered that little Sally was missing, the community supported the parents, who were distraught. They all prayed with great fervor, and they went on their knees before God. They plead with the angels before them. They called the names of God. They went to the clergy for solace. All of the spiritual people around them prayed for little Sally to be safe and sound. They prayed to God: "Let this be a quick and nonharmful event. Bring her back, please, dear God, bring her back. We pray for a miracle."

They asked the angels to be with her, and to help her in all that she might be going through. They asked that the angels would protect her and bring her back. They went to their knees, and they wept and sobbed, as loving parents do in a horrible situation like this. Then their friends came out and put their hands upon them and hugged them and held their hands.

Little Sally was discovered later. She didn't make it, and the details of what she went through would scar the parents' memories for life. When all was known, some of the friends who prayed so hard turned against God. They said, "What good is it when we pray, if it doesn't work? Where were the angels when we needed them? Where was our belief system and the power of prayer when we needed it?" Some discarded their angels, and many had to ask the question: "Where was God when little Sally needed him?"

Here's another postulate: (3) Regardless of prayer--regardless of potential angelic intervention, no outside entity on this planet can change the absolute free choice of another Human Being. Little Sally was connected to her Higher-Self in ways you cannot understand. In those moments that were the darkest for her... seemingly all alone, she called upon that Higher-Self and said, "Help me! What are we going to do?" And together on a level that is higher and grander than you might think a child could go, she and her Higher-Self reviewed what she had come to Earth for. When this review was over, the question was put to her from her divine Higher-Self: "Sally, are you going to go through with this? We can help you co-create distractions and circumstances, and perhaps it will turn our differently. The angels are ready. What is your decision?"

And between the divine Higher-Self and the lower-self of that spiritual group whom Humans see in a singular way, Sally made a decision that you will never understand. Sally stood tall within her divinity, and through free choice said, "We're going through it. We're going to do what I came to do." And with the synchronicity generated by the man who took her, they did... together.

Why should this be? Unbeknownst to you is what little Sally knew. At a level that was filled with sacredness, she knew that what happened in that moment would affect hundreds and hundreds of people. Some would have to examine their spirituality, some would have to get off the fence and decide what God meant. None of them would be unaffected. No. Each of them would have a reaction... one that might last a lifetime. The seeming sacrifice of one, in what seems to be a horror of an event, was poised to provide the enlightenment for many. And so "little Sally" wasn't so little. She was a giant among Humans... welcomed back into the domain of Spirit, into the fold. She participated in a grand party, turning right around and going back again as soon as it was appropriate. She even rejoined the same karmic group that she left. They never noticed, maybe wouldn't even believe it.

What really happened? Little Sally's Higher-Self overruled all other energies. It overruled the prayers and the angelic helpers. At that moment, it was king of its own reality, and it made a choice. The giant called "little Sally" had made her choice, and the heavens rang with the ramifications of it. Many were changed, and some found their divinity that day. The Earth changed, too, and the situation went into the energy of the planet, and the balance between light and dark balanced itself slightly more to the light side.

Did you ever think of this? Or did you see it as something that darkened the planet? Do you understand now what divine wisdom is? It's an attribute that's almost beyond Human understanding. Sometimes what you see as some of the most difficult and negative things on the planet are instead working to create change... awakening those who would never be concerned with spiritual things, and creating situations out of the reach of what you consider to be appropriate for God.

Little No-Name
That's not all. If you thought that one was difficult, what about this one? Let me tell you about little No-Name. Little No-Name didn't last three months--never got a name. He was diseased when he was born, and those who were there barely kept him alive. They knew he wasn't going to make it, so they didn't want to waste resources doing anything but keeping him sustained. He died on his own, just as expected. There were those lined up behind him, too, and they weren't going to make it either.

In a culture where life is seen differently than this one, Little No-Name came and went, seemingly in a flash. Three months of suffering and sorrow. Most of you listening and reading would not want to be there. You don't think about it, and that's totally normal. There's no judgment of this, but you also can't pretend it doesn't exist.

And where, in the scheme of world enlightenment and the love of God, do you think this situation sits? Is it a dark place that God doesn't visit? The answer (as you know), is far from that. God and the family exist in the darkest places imaginable. After all, that's where the transmutation to light must be done.

So, go there with me for just a moment and view Little No-Name. Humanitarian, if you could have sat next to him, you would have wept every minute of his life. Why? Because you are built to love! Your very fiber is designed to care about the children, and to move into action if you see injustice. What about the master? If the master were next to him, He would put his hand upon him in blessing and just sit and "be" every minute of the child's life. You see, the master would see into the situation and not wring his hands in desperation, or moan over how humanity was awful, or how poor Humans often treat Humans. The master would see a larger picture.

Little No-Name had a Higher-Self. Little No-Name and that Higher-Self had an agreement to come to Earth with the potential of exactly what happened... to go through it. And you might say, "Why? Why would such a thing ever have to be, if we are angels?" And I will say it again: Only angels can do these kinds of things in a world where there's free choice and planning. On the other side of the veil, do you think you're blindfolded and spiritually somehow fall from the sky and are born into situations that are random? No! In all your angelic glory, you decide with others about exactly where, and with whom, you'll incarnate. And you might say, "If that's the case, why would Little No-Name ever, ever come in to this planet in the first place? Why would there be such a thing?" Look at the facts. These things are happening daily, hundreds of times. Do you think this is an accident? You might not wish to look at it, but perhaps it's part of the grand plan. Even more profound... perhaps you played this role at one time, also!

In a balanced planet of dark and light, as long as there's dark, there's going to be this kind of a balance. What you may not understand is that Little No-Name had spiritual energy, just like you do. And during his brief life-span, that energy was actually delivered to the dirt of the earth! Like a bundle of love that somehow the planet needed, his decision, and his agreement with his Higher-Self, actually changed the vibration of the planet! You see, there actually was purpose and reason. There was planning, there was execution, and there was love. It's the master who stands back and sees the appropriateness of dark and light. It's also the master who knows how to send light to those who need it, and to change some of these things through intent and wisdom. And yes... the master weeps, also.

Now, what is your reaction to this message? Horrible, you say? You might say, "I can never accept this!" Good! Then you're well on your way to changing it! How would you like to get rid of it? How would you like to change the balance of light and dark on this beautiful planet so that there are fewer little Sallys and Little No-Names? Let me tell you something: That's why you're here!

There has never been a time in history where the old souls of the planet could come back and reinstate an energy of old... refine it, purify it, and change Human consciousness. See any increased hate on the planet lately? See any darkness coming out from under the rocks and caves? This is what happens when you turn on the light! What some of you consider untenable events and "turns for the worse" on your planet are the last gasps of an old balance of dark and light... the foundation of an old energy being scraped clean. And that, my dear Human Being, is why you are called Lightworker.

Go back with me a moment to your entrance into your current expression [lifetime]. As you stood on the other side of the veil and you saw what was happening here, still you thrust yourself forward. Knowing about the potential of Armageddon and the fact that you might not last... that instead, your culture might be burned up in a holocaust of horror. That was the prediction when most of you were born. Go back and check out the prophecies of so many. Yet you still came. That's not a lot different than Sally or No-Name, is it? That's how much you care about the family.

In closing I do hope Obama will change things for the better however I am not putting my life on it.

He can't, but we can, and we are.

Hi Darrell,

Thanks for posting those videos.  They were very nice.  I completely forgot about that site.  I haven't been there in almost 3 years.  They've really changed it up since the last time I was there.  The site looks really great.  I'm gonna have to do some exploring there. 

Hi Darrell,

Very well said as always. 

Obama was elected for four years and walks in with a ten year plan.

The wonderful thing about that is even though a president has term limits there are no term limits on "We the People".

Hi annalop,

Even if Obama is part of the dark forces it is irrelevant.  What matters is the perceptions and attitudes of the majority of the people, and since Obama became elected the attitude of the majority has so far been very positive, and is the main and only reason I voted for Obama.  I did not vote for him because of any of his proposed policies.  I voted for him because I felt there would be more of a stir among the people, whether perceived as positive or negative, than if McCain got elected.

Whether the dark forces are dieing or not or whether they even exist at all is not even a concern.  The more we focus on their existence and their perceived power the longer they will exist within our experiential reality.  These dark forces supposedly control most if not all major institutions across the planet which include governments, financial, and religious organizations.  The more people that turn their back on these institutions the less relevant they will become until they cease to exist all together.

The main thing is to just focus on Love, joy, peace and happiness throughout the planet.

I think the people will have to stop putting their hopes up for some event (2012) or some president to make things right for them. We have to do it ourselves if we want any change (I'm not saying this is easy).

I agree.  And from what I've seen there are a growing number of people across the U.S. who are beginning to realize that.  More and more people are beginning to realize that we need help each other in order to survive, flourish, and be happy.  People are also starting to understand that we live in a symbiotic world and that we need not help those only within one nation but people all over the planet.  And not only just people, but plants, animals, and all life across the globe.

I've also been spreading this same message in other forums where most people might not fully realize this, where they seem to put all their hopes in one person or institution.

Hi Kendar and Darrell,

I could not agree more. 

Hi All,
I wish to contribute to this forum for what it is worth. I know that what I am going to say here may evoke some bitter and negative retorts from some members but I am going to say it all the same because it is The Truth.

I have been searching for the meaning “nothing outside of you can harm or hurt you’.  What I found out is as follows;-

1. That we are all Infinitely Powerful Spiritual Beings.

2. That we individually chose what to experience here on earth long before we came here. This includes
    all aspects of our experiences including how and when we were to die.

3. Hence for Obama, at this point in time in his experiences, he must have chosen all what he has
    experienced so far including being a President Elect.

4. Hence if Obama is eliminated through assassination or otherwise, it would have been his Soul that
    chose this route. At the Soul level, he would have agreed with the assassin’s Soul all the details
    regarding the assassination i.e. about the when, the time, the place, the type of gun and even where
    in his body the bullet was to enter.

While the statement above may appear as if I am cordoning crime, I am not. I am just stating The Truth.

Peace to All.

Kendar

I cannot believe you just said that!!!   

LOL, just kidding. 

I agree with everything you just said and will most likely resonate with most everyone else who post here.  I doubt there will be anyone here who will take offense at stating what you feel is your truth, especially since expressing and sharing our truth is very much encouraged in this forum.  You never know when expressing your truth could be a pearl of wisdom for another.

Hi Carole,

Thank you very much for your thoughts and a very warm welcome to the forums.  

The coming days will be even more exciting.    I anticipate change and excitement to increase day by day.  An experience I lovingly welcome with much joy. 

Hi Laura,

Thank you for showing that chart.  I have several brainwave frequency charts myself with the same information, but not graphic like that one.  That's very nice.

Ken, the more we talk about it and the more I think about it the more I can't help but think that Centerpoint Research must be talking about brainwave frequencies and not energy vibration, especially given the way the information was sent to you.  But what throws me off is when you mentioned they said the following:

snip
The simpler and less evolved aspects of the universe vibrate at a high frequency, and a low amplitude (contrary to popular metaphysical lore, which claims that the more evolved you are, "the higher your frequency")

It seems like they might be getting energy vibrations confused with brainwave frequencies, or maybe they think they are one and the same.  So far I have never seen any other information found on other websites or books that were metaphysical in nature getting those two confused which is why I couldn't understand how they thought their definition contradicts "popular metaphysical lore".

I certainly wouldn't give up meditation as it is mas many valuable benefits such as getting in touch with your Inner Self and receiving very valuable, enlightening information, self healing, controlling your manifestations within your experiential reality the way you desire, feeling at peace and one with the Universe, etc.  Again, unfortunately I can't recommend whether you keep listening to their meditation CD's as I have never listened to them or done any research on their products to determine whether they are beneficial or detrimental.

Like Darell said, Adrian has developed a program that I have heard is excellent.  I have not listened to it myself, but since Adrian is here quite often (however not that much lately due to his new project) he could possibly be the best person at the moment to give you some really good advice on this matter.

Hehe, all this talk of Adrian's new project has certainly roused my interest.  I'm sure it will be enlightening as always.  In the meantime I will continue living in the NOW and enjoying this beautiful experience on this wonderful journey through all levels of the magnificent Universe.

I also enjoy everyone else's comments and contributions here just as much as I enjoy Adrian's.  Everyone here always has very enlightening information to share, and I thank everyone here for their contribution. 

But, I trust in blessing everything I consume. I bless, therefore  - I am safe from it.

Hi Freedom,

That is excellent.  I do the same myself.  Whenever possible I normally like to silence my mind and get into tune with the Universe and let primal energy flow into the food and water I eat and drink by visualizing a violet flame consuming and transmuting the water and food into pure vibrant energy filled with nutrients.  It's very exciting and magical, and I enjoy doing it as much as I possibly can.

When my kids were in elementary school they had a fluoride program, saw the kids lined up at the drinking fountain with little cups of blue fluoride. I refused to consent to it for them, and fought the school board for a waiver to the program, with them trying to guilt me into it. I won over and was given my waiver.
Now it is other drugs were fighting in schools. Parents are seeing notes from the schools ' put your child on medication or they cannot return to school ' kind of notes. It is disgusting the drug lords of this country have gained so much power and wealth this way. More so our congress has passed it. They are no different than the drug cartels of South America or other countries witht he same lack of concern for Human life and the deaths they are causing.
History will condemn these companies and file their presence under atrocity.

Hi Darrell,

I commend you on taking control of and winning that situation and your determination and perseverance to stop the system from controlling you.  The more people that turn their backs on the institutions that try to control us the less relevant they will become, and eventually they will cease to exist.  I feel these institutions who try to control and conspire against society are quickly coming to an end.  Greater days are ahead, and it is awesome that we get to be here to experience this transition and even help and participate in creating this transition.
